WASHINGTON, D.C. Kansas 3rd District
Congresswoman Sharice Davids voted last
week against a bill designed to prevent states
from banning gasoline-powered vehicles in
an effort to force their residents to adopt
electric vehicles.
House Resolution 1435 is known as the
Preserving Choice in Vehicle Purchases
Act. It modifies an EPA
waiver process currently
allowed to states under the
Clean Air Act that allows
states to demand higher
emissions control standards. HR 1435 would deny
a state those waivers if that

In opposing the bill, Davids, a Democrat,
joined those supporting gas engine bans
already announced by nine states California,
Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New
Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island and
Washington who say theyll prohibit the
sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles by
2035. The bill, sponsored by Pennsylvania
Republican John Joyce, was supported by
Kansas other three congressmen Ron
Estes, Jake LaTurner and Tracey Mann all
Republicans.
The Review messaged both Davids and the

Funeral Chapel in Garnett.
Inurnment will follow at the

Friday, September 8, 2023, at

In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus
gives the disciples the Great
Commission
as
follows:
Therefore go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy
Spirit and teaching them to obey
everything I have commanded
you. This statement leads us to
believe that most, if not all of the
evangelism was to be done by the
disciples. This does not turn out
to be the case.
In Acts chapter 8 we read,
On that day a great persecution
broke out against the church at
Jerusalem, and all except the
apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. This
clearly points to most of the
evangelism being done by the
Samaritan believers and the converts to Judaism often referred
to as God-fearers. Most of the
Jewish believers stayed in
Jerusalem. These people, fearing
for their very lives, left Jerusalem
and settled in areas that allowed
them to practice Christianity.
Since they were dispersed over
a wide area they began to teach
the people of the area and soon
small churchs began to grow and
the gospel was abroad. These
were the people most responsible
for the expansion of the church.
The persecution of the church in
Jerusalem actually perpetuated
the growth of the church abroad.
I believe today we have lost
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
Why did Jesues issue
this command?
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
track of how important the Great
Commission is. The church
has been regulated to a sort of
reservation existence and thus
its members see Sunday morning as the only time to practice
Christianity. Most people believe
its the pastors job to do evangelism. You know who can do
evangelism? You can! You and
I are out in the community by
virtue of work, at the store shopping or at school events or any
number of other things. When we
leave the church on Sunday we
are scattered just like those early
Christians. There will never be a
time the Great Commission will
be outdated. It is to be handed
down from generation to generation.
We can ignore the command
from Jesus and put most of our
efforts into other areas but sooner or later we have to realize
salvation of the lost person was
the reason Jesus died on the cross
and the reason Jesus issued this
command to his church.
You name it,
we print it!

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, September 19, 2023
OPINION
Dear Kansas: Give us some money back
In a time when inflated prices for everyday
goods are draining more and more money out of
Kansas households, can someone explain to me
why Kansas is still stockpiling tax money like
Hunter Biden feathering his cache of high-grade
cocaine before a week-long stay in Lake Tahoe?
Heres the long and the short of it: 1) Prices
of just about every item to which Kansas and
your local city/county sales tax is applied have
increased, primarily due to the federal government fire hosing money into the economy and
restricting petroleum exploration, both of which
fueled the first real inflation weve seen in three
decades. That means not only do you pay more
for those goods, but you also pay more sales tax
on those items (sales tax is a percentage of retail
price paid Kansas state sales tax is 6.5 percent,
then add on whatever your county/city charges).
The net of it is this: you pay more, the government gets more.
On top of that theres the bounty of tax on
your income being squirreled away by the State
of Kansas. The Kansas Policy Institute recently
compiled the latest numbers from The Consensus
Estimating Group of the Kansas Legislative
Research Department which point to an estimate of $3 billion in surplus tax revenue that
will languish in state coffers by the end of fiscal
2024 based on the current amount of surplus
tax money thats flowing into the state. Thats
in addition to $1.6 billion siphoned off into the
Budget Stabilization Fund a sort of emergency
fund set up by the Legislature to ensure Kansas
doesnt deficit spend.
This is money coming from state income
tax deducted from your paycheck and assessed
against your business revenues, along with
other more minor fees, etc. Yes, Kansas business
has come back swinging in the post-Covid era
and thats particularly impressive especially
after Gov. Laura Kelly torpedoed the states
economy with an unneeded statewide business
shutdown. The fact Kansas business is doing so
well despite Kellys overreach is a testament to
the tenacity, savvy and hard work of those entrepreneurs and employees.
But the downside of that tenacity is that
it created and maintained a steady stream of
unfettered tax income for the state, which is still
in tax collecting overdrive from the largest tax
increase ever in state history in 2017.
Oh, but theres more. Property taxes across
Kansas have jumped due to higher values that
came about after years of low mortgage rates and
now an actual shortage of housing that keeps
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
prices high. That costs property owners more
and is being felt in higher rents for tenants.
A couple years ago the Legislature adopted what are referred to as Revenue Neutral
requirements for local governments. Basically if
your city, county or school district plans to raise
more tax money in its coming year budget than
it did last year, the elected leaders have to make
special notice of that and host a hearing to allow
you taxpayers to comment on it.
The practical effect of Revenue Neutral has
been nill. Local officials simply host the hearings, listen to the complaints if anyone shows
up, and then go ahead with the budget theyve
drafted anyway. So far it hasnt appeared that
Revenue Neutral has had any real effect in trimming local government spending at all. In their
defense, those governments are faced with rising
costs, having to offer higher salaries to keep
employees, etc., just like the private sector is
the critical difference being the private sector
doesnt have the legal authority to commandeer
your money to meet those obligations.
And the icing on the cake is this: whether
sales tax, income tax or property tax, government takes those funds its holding for various
periods of time and invests in usually short-term
CDs or other instruments that pay some, but
not much interest. With the increase in interest
rates, your tax dollars are making even more
money for government.
To say the time is past for Kansas to cut taxes
and provide a little relief for residents dealing
with spiking U.S. inflation and local governments appetite for revenue is a vast understatement. ###

Can someone tell me what this Garnett community soul group has actually accomplished?
This woman comes to the city meetings all the
time and talks about this big process she keeps
talking about but all I hear so far is her talking
about what theyre going to do and not anything
theyve got done? Are they helping raise money
to build a new swimming pool or helping with
the Cornstock concert or clean up the rec center or helping fix the reservoir or build new
powerlines so the power doesnt go out all the
time? I just dont see anything happening just
talk about questionnaires and data and blah
blah blah. All this talk and no action sounds
like a government office or a politician to me.
Anybody can talk and talk and take surveys.
Lets get something done. Thank you.
Well another rant from the old Republican
king Cheeto loving Hicks. He just cant let anything go. You said remember the Democrats,
remember the Republicans who tried to overthrow the election and the government? All
them phony, fake, patriot crybabies thats
weeping in court? You Republicans have
offered a lot havent you? You havent done
anything in years. Hicks is just an exteme
right wing Cheeto lover, thats all you can
say.
Cant wait to see Trevor Holman at Cornstock.
Thank you for the very informative article in
the September 12 Anderson County Review
about abortion statistics for the year since the
amendment on abortion failed. We are now
the Disneyland of abortion. Way to go Kansas.
This illegal immigrant mess all over the country due to Joe Biden and Sharice Davids and
the other Democrats. Isnt a mass invasion of
a country an act of war? Isnt a government
failing to protect a country an act of treason?
When is this country going to start acting like
those are facts?
Contact your elected leadership:
Did the Eisenhower Foundation get it wrong?
A guest opinion in the September 14th
Washington Conty News described a statement by presidential foundations as a thinly-veiled-We-hate-Trump-you- shouldtoo
statement and praised the Eisenhower
Foundation for not adding their name to the
statement.
That joint statement issued 9-7-2023 by
13 presidential foundations was entitled:
Strengthening our democracy- Presidential
Centers Affirm that Democracy Holds us
Together. It cited America as a diverse nation
of people in a country rooted in the rule of law
and called for civility and respect in political discourse and respect for human rights
around the world. It called for elected officials
to lead by example, to govern effectively in
ways that deliver for American people, and
to restore trust in public service.
It was issued by the George W Bush
Presidential Center and co-signed by
the Reagan, Carter, Truman, Nixon, LBJ,
Kennedy, Roosevelt, Obama, Ford, and Hoover
Foundations. The Eisenhower Foundation
declined to add their name.
I can see how some would see this as a
thinly-veiled indictment of Trump because
these are values he would and did oppose.
That the Eisenhower Foundation chose not
to join this distinguished group is especially
galling. General Eisenhower was the complete
opposite of Donald Trump.
Dwight Eisenhower was career military
who served his country with distinction and
honor. Trump has demonstrated only contempt for the military. Eisenhower knew that
authoritarianism has its place in the military,
but not in a democracy. Trump admires the
murderous authoritarian leadership of Putin
and Kim Jong Un.
Eisenhower supported integration;
Trump supported Neo-Nazi racist groups.
Eisenhower supported international alliances
and served as the first Supreme Commander
of NATO; Trump wanted the US to withdraw
from NATO.
Trumps contempt for those who serve in
the military is well-documented. In 2018, he
conceled a visit to the Aisne-Marne American
Cemetery near Paris because of rain, saying
The helicopter couldnt fly. Everyone knew
it was because he feared his hair would be
messed up by the rain. He is quoted as saying
to his staff, Why should I go to that cemetery?
Its filled with losers. He also on that same
trip referred to the 1800+ Marines who lost
their lives at Belleau Woods in WWI as suckers for getting killed. He expressed his contempt for John McCain who spent more than
5 years as a prisoner of the North Koreans:
Hes not a war hero. I like people who werent
captured. When McCain died, Trump told his
staff, Were not going to support that losers
funeral, and was furious when he saw flags
lowered to half-staff. Trump attacked the Gold
Star parents of Humayan Khan, an Army captain who was killed in Iraq. Trump claimed
he traveled to Dover Air Force Base to receive
Letters
to the editor
the remains of fallen service members many,
many times, when actually he did that about
4 times. Trump falsely claimed that he called
virtually all of the families of service members who died during his term. When families
said they received no calls, the White House
rushed condolence letters to the families. On
Memorial Day 2017, Trump visited Arlington
Cemetery and while standing next to Gen
John Kelly at the grave of Kellys son, Trump
turned to him and said, I dont get it. What
was in it for them?
Whatever the reasons the Eisenhower
Foundation had for declining to sign the
foundations statement, perhaps they should
resign and be replaced by those who have a
better understanding of the principles that
guided the life of Dwight Eishenhower.
Eishenhower was the presidential candidate the first time I was old enough to vote.
He would not allow his name to be placed on a
Republican ballot today.
Evelyn Clark, Topeka
To un-due process Trump does same to voters
Dear editor,
I present the following observations to all
elected and/or appointed individuals of the
government at the federal and state levels.
I have noticed that there are some States
that may be actually considering not putting the name of Donald Trump on the 2024
presidential ballot, because some people are
arguing that he is guilty of engaging in insurrection or rebellion according to the 14th
Amendment Section 3.
The thing that concerns me, is that these
people may be actually considering this without due process, because according to them,
this Section is self-enacting. Correct me if
I am wrong, but because he is a US citizen,
having already announced his intent to run
for President, and having otherwise qualified,
is he not entitled to due process under the 5th
and 14th amendments?
I always thought that standard procedure,
was that everybody is presumed innocent
until proven guilty in a court of law.
I feel somewhat obligated to raise an additional observation related to the current situation.
If any State were to deny Donald Trump a
place on the ballot, without due process, (referring to a conviction) would this then deny, or
in any way abridge, the right of the citizens
of such State to vote for the choice of electors
of President and Vice President according to
Section 2 of the 14th Amendment?
Now because this Section appears to read
like it is also self-enacting, would this then
mean that such State would be subject to a
reduction in the basis of representation as
the number of such citizens shall bear to
the whole number? Now it wouldnt matter
whether or not any citizen, in such State,
wanted to cast their vote for Donald Trump,
would this then deny, or in any way abridge,
the right to make that choice, if they so
desired?
And if this would then deny, or in any way
abridge, that right to 100% of the citizens eligible to vote, registered or not, would this mean
that the basis of representation therein shall
be reduced by the same 100%, reducing the
number of Representatives in the US House,
to the Constitutional minimum of 1? Thereby
reducing the number of electoral votes, that
such State is entitled to, which would now be
3?
Who would be responsible for making this
determination? And would the State be afforded due process? After denying due process to
the individual? (Donald Trump)
Which brings me to another observation,
and I am hesitant to bring it up, but because I
just raised this concern, if I am wrong, nothing happens. I am simply wrong.
But if I am correct, and you ignore this
concern about due process, and remain silent,
would that then associate you with the same
14th Amendment Section 3, of giving aid or
comfort, to the State or persons, who may be
attempting to engage in the act of subverting
the Constitutional protections guaranteed to
Donald Trump, or the citizens of such State,
thereby making you subject to the same?
Is it possible, that 14A 3, is the penalty for
anyone, who knowingly and willingly violates
their Oath to support the Constitution? (insur-
rection or rebellion)
Or, is witness to the violation, directly or
indirectly, and remains silent? (aid or comfort) shall have engaged in insurrection or
rebellion against the same
Is, against the same, referring to the
United States? The Constitution? The Oath?
Or all 3?
The message I am attempting to convey is,
that it may be in the best interest of any State,
that before such State make or implement any
decisions regarding the meaning and application of the 14th Amendment Section 3, such
State should not proceed without fully considering, possibly even adjudicating, the meaning and application of the 14th Amendment
Section 2, and how it may relate thereto.
In short, no State has the authority to disqualify any candidate because they might be
guilty of any crime.
If you want to vote for Trump, do it. If you
dont want to vote for Trump, vote for somebody else.
This is not about Donald Trump. This is
about you and every other citizen.
In simple terms, the Constitution says,
guilty first, punishment second.
If any State disqualifies him or any other
candidate, without a guilty verdict first, then
the State is not only violating his rights, but
also the right of every eligible voter in the
State.
The right to choose.

More finds from cabin site rumored to be
frequently visited by bandits James and Quantrill
I never would have imagined that there would be so
many artifacts at the old
cabin site Im presently excavating at. If only I knew the
entire history of this site.
Ive been told that Jesse
James and William Quantrill
visited this cabin quite frequently back in the early
days of Greeley.

Most of you know, that
I love to find those old buttons. Especially those made of

doll.
#3 – Its almost impossible
to tell if this is a 1920 or 1929-D

connection between the vote
on HR 1435 and Davids previous support of other petroleum

keeping with President Bidens

Delanie Bomar, spokeswoman for the National Republican
Congressional Committee, said
Davids vote was in keeping
with her voting bloc in congress supporting Democrat policies.

the pain is the point, Bomar
said. Nothing will satisfy
their unquenchable thirst for

threat in the homeland.
Davids voted against the

that would have expedited
energy production projects in
the U.S., eliminated or reduced
certain fees related to developing federal energy resources
and streamlined both imports

Essentially you have
30 days after I mail out
the valuation notices in
March to have an informal appeal, Wilson said.
If you miss that, you
have a second opportunity when you pay your
taxes. A protest must be
filed either 1) at the time
the taxes are actually
paid; or 2) if the whole
or part of the taxes are
paid prior to December
20th, then no later than
December 20.
Wilson said if an
escrow or tax service
agent paid the taxes prior
to December 20th, then
the protest must be filed
no later than January 31st
of the following year.

FARM SAFETY
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, September 19, 2023
National Farm Safety
and Health Week
September 17-23, 2023
No One Can Take Your Place theme for National Farm Safety and Health Week
Covington, LA – Agriculture,
forestry, and fishing workers
face life-threatening hazards
daily. Their labor-intensive
work often takes place outdoors in remote locations,
where access to emergency
medical services is sparse.
But it is not just job hazards
that impact their well-being
most workers live in rural
areas, where health disparities further exacerbate their
health risks.
In 2021, there were 19.5
industry-related
deaths
per 100,000 workers in the
Agriculture,
Forestry,
Fishing, and Hunting sectors, and 4.6 workers per
every 100 were ill or injured
at some point on the job (BLS
2021). In 2019, death rates for
rural Americans were 19%
higher for males and 21%
higher for females compared
to their urban counterparts
(NCHS 2021). When looking
at these numbers, it is clear
that we need to take action.
But it is also worth noting
that the death rates have
been steadily declining since
1999 (NCHS 2021).
Since 1944, the United
States has observed National
Farm Safety and Health
Week (NFSHW) during the
third week of September.
By raising awareness and
educating communities on
health and safety hazards,
risk reduction, and accident
prevention, we can improve
the health outcomes for
agriculture, forestry, and
fishing workers. This year,
NFSHW will take place
from September 17-23, 2023.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 09-19-2023 / KEVIN GAINES
As summer comes to a close, virus season is just beginning!
Many area healthcare providers including CHC/SEK
have begun to see an end-ofsummer increase in viral illness such as COVID, influenza
and other respiratory illnesses.
Fortunately, for most people
the COVID variants and the
other viral illnesses are mild
and generally resolve without
the need for treatment, says
Dr. Linda Bean, Chief Medical
Officer at CHC/SEK. However,
individuals who are at risk,
either due to age or certain
medical conditions, and have
been exposed or suspect they
have COVID or influenza
should follow up with a medical
provider to discuss testing and
treatment options.
At this point, do not expect
mass testing associated with
the 2020 pandemic to return.
With the public health emergency declarations expiring
signaling the end of the pandemic, we have also seen an
end to the ability to do mass
testing for COVID, Bean says.
Most health organizations
including CHC/SEK now have
less access to testing supplies,
and fewer resources dedicated
to testing as we did during the
pandemic.
Additionally, the curbside
and in-clinic testing once
covered for patients during
the public health emergency
is no longer free, and home
testing kits are readily available through retail stores and
on-line.
COVID variants are always
going to be around, Dr. Bean
says. Now, beyond the pandemic, we need to shift our
thinking around them and
other respiratory illnesses to
managing our risks the best
we can, including staying up to
date on COVID and influenza
vaccines, which we believe will
be available in the next couple
of weeks.
What should you do if you
develop symptoms or have been
exposed to COVID, influenza or
other respiratory illnesses?
Stay home, rest, drink fluids.
Use over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen
(Motrin, Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) for fever and
body aches.
For most viral illnesses,
you can return to class or work
when you have been fever-free
for 24 hours and symptoms are
improving.
If you have suspected or
confirmed COVID or influen-

Colt Fords life, music a
blend of country, rap and golf
Trailblazers veer off the
beaten path and break every
rule along the way.
Former pro golfer Colt
Ford consistently blazes his
own trail. By doing so, the
Georgia singer, songwriter,
rapper, musician, performer,
and co-founder and co-owner
of Average Joes Entertainment
keeps up pace as countrys preeminent independent maverick.
By 2019, Colt built a series of
staggering successes as he rose
to mainstream notoriety. He
notched five consecutive Top
10 debuts on the Billboard Top
Country Albums Chart with
Declaration of Independence
bowing at #1 in 2012. Two years
later, Thanks for Listening
Climber
Over the last 18 years,
Casey Donahew has risen from
a favorite on the local Texas
music scene, racking up 21
#1 singles, to a nationally hot
touring act who consistently
sells out venues all across the
country.
Donahew has released eight
independent albums to critical and commercial acclaim.
Donahews STANDOFF, quickly topped the iTunes Country
Chart at #1, upon its release,
and his follow-up album ALL
NIGHT PARTY, out on August
19, 2016, immediately rocketed to #3 on the Billboard Top
Country Albums Chart, #13
on the Top Album Sales Chart
and Top Current Album Sales
Chart and #40 on the Billboard
200 Chart. The project also
took the #2 spot on the Internet
Albums Chart and landed at
#3 on the Independent Albums
Chart. His 15th anniversary
record titled 15 YEARS, THE
WILD RIDE, a collection of
Donahews most popular songs,
and the ones that droves of fans
sing night after night at his live
concerts, was inspired by and
became a gift for those fans
who remain loyal in Donahews
standing-room-only audiences.
His current album ONE LIGHT
TOWN, garnered Donahew his
latest #1 single, Lets Make
A Love Song, which was the
#1 most played independent
song on country radio for 2019
and had BILLBOARD spouting
upon its release Lets Make
A Love Song has radio written
all over it.
For Casey it has always been
about the song, whether he was
singing about colorful, hilarious characters that might live
down the street from you or
come to Thanksgiving dinner
every year, or the painful devastation of something as serious as addiction. Fans flock
to his shows to revel in the
Casey Donahew climbs
from regional Texas
favorite to one of 2023s
hottest tour acts
zany, wacky tales of pot-selling grannies and shotgun-toting girls whose bras dont fit,
along with the more somber
stories of heartbreak, failure
and redemption that Donahew
weaves so well. Drawing from
real life and its roller coaster
highs and lows has provided
him with plenty of rich material over the last decade and
a half, and resulted in eight
wildly successful albums and
19 chart-topping singles. For
Donahew, who was largely
inspired by Garth Brooks and
his mammoth live show and
ability to whip a crowd into a
frenzy onstage, the songs were
always the main thing and
still are to this day. Maybe
thats why they have continued
to be fan favorites for a decade
and a half and counting.
Casey Donahew is one of
those rare artists who knows
how to push himself into
uncharted territory with each
new release without losing his
core essence. He is a true singer-songwriter in the modern
troubadour sense in every way.
He knows how to tell a story
and make the listener believe
that they are right there! I had
a blast working on this new
record with him! exclaims
Josh Leo.
Avid devotion from his fans
and the interaction they have
always shared is what has kept
Donahew going all these years
and powered his career to the
heights it is now. Touring over
150 dates a year, he keeps his
finger on the pulse of what his
fans want and love, and this latest collection is sure to please
his avid, devoted fan base. The
Texas sensation has built an
impressive lasting legacy and
career out of taking chances
and listening to his heart and
the heart of his fans. And hes
eager and ready to see where it
takes them together next.
Hubbard, Keen influenced veteran Bowen
Twenty years and some
4,000 shows into his career, the
name Wade Bowen has become
synonymous with Texas country music and for good reason. An artistic descendant
of American icons like Guy
Clark, Ray Wylie Hubbard,
Robert Earl Keen and more,
Bowen is another link in a
Texan chain of roots-rock poets
stretching back more than 50
years but his ambition never
ended at the state line.
I will carry that flag proudly, Bowen says of his well
earned Red-Dirt distinction.
But Ive always said Im not
a Texas artist, Im an artist
from Texas, and I think theres
a difference.
Indeed, Bowen has shown
the world that difference since
2001 by going big on integrity.
Seen as one of the genres
finest and most authentic modern voices, Bowens approach
stays rooted
in tradition,
but
also
stands
on
the creative
cutting edge.
His
focus
remains
on writing
unique songs
Bowen
with a literary quality,
and shifting his sonic territory
to match his life. And while
the hard-touring troubadour
is constantly breaking new
ground, his course was set
early on.
Born in Waco and schooled
in the clubs surrounding Lubbocks Texas Tech
University, Bowen was raised
on a steady diet of hardscrabble country realism and rock
showmanship. His mother
loved Elvis, the Eagles and
Creedence Clearwater Revival,
while his father spun Texan
giants like Willie Nelson,
Waylon Jennings and Kris
Kristofferson. His first concert
was a peak-theatrics Alabama
show, but even then, it was the
lyrics which spoke the loudest.

girls were in 4th.
Head coach Troy Prosser
always looks forward to the
Wellsville Invitational and
this year was no different. We
always love going to Wellsville
because its a chance to compete
against many different schools
we usually dont see, he said.
The middle school races are
a lot of fun because most of the
races have 200+ runners on the
course at the same time and it
almost always pushes our kids
to personal records which was
the case with nine more.
As teams, the 7th grade girls
and 8th grade boys both finished 3rd among schools that
are much larger.
Mackenzie (Moon) ran a
great race chasing the field
down in the second mile for 3rd
place. Lily (Burkdoll) was in a
shoulder to shoulder battle the
last 100m and was just edged
out at the finish line to earn
2nd and Josiah (Meyer) ran
another solid race from start to
finish to secure 2nd, Prosser
added.

Emma Cubit ran her best
race of the season to comfortably take 4th and give the girls

The boys have continued to
push themselves to their limits and Cody Hammond's win
in 16:37 is one of the fastest
times run at CH in well over a
decade. Connor Burkdoll and
Owen Miller both ran solid
races with Christian McCord
and Stetson Miller improving
by a good margin over last

quarter behind two big plays,
the first a 38 yard run and the

It would be SFT that would
strike first in the second half
and take a 22-0 lead behind a

scamper by Preston Kueser
and after a failed extra point,
AC still trailed 22-6.
Trey Clark helped the

Four Winds DAR display at Garnett
Public Library for Constitution Week
Visit the Four Winds
Daughters of the American
Revolution display at the
Garnett Library during
Constitution Week, which
takes place from September
17-23, 2023. There will be free
flag key chains, patriotic pencils and bookmarks while supplies last!
We celebrate Constitution
Day on September 17th every
year. This year is the 236th
year of the signing by the
Founding Fathers. Remember,
the Constitution is an essential part of our country's history, and it helps protect our
rights and freedoms.
The Constitution is like a
rulebook for the United States.
It tells us how our country
should work and how our government is set up.
The Constitution was written a long, long time ago in 1787.
It needed to be ratified by 9 of
the 13 states. Delaware was the
first state and New Hampshire
was the 9th and final state to
ratify the Constitution, which
occurred on June 21, 1788, mak-
ing the Constitution official.
The people who wrote
the Constitution are called
"Founding Fathers." Some of
the signers were famous, like
George Washington, Benjamin
Franklin at 81 was the oldest, and the youngest signer,
Jonathan Dayton, 26 years old.
The Constitution has a
special introduction called the
Preamble, which outlines the
purpose and goals of the document. It starts with "We the
People of People of the United
States, In Order to form a more
perfect Union
The Constitution has 27
important rules called "amendments." The first 10 are called
the Bill of Rights, and they protect our freedoms like freedom
of speech and religion.
The Constitution is kept
safe in a special case in the
National Archives Museum in
Washington, D.C.
To make a new rule in the
Constitution, we need to add an
"amendment." It's like updating the rulebook.
The Constitution gives
power to three branches of
government: the Executive, the
Legislative, and the Judicial.
They all work together to keep
things fair and balanced.
The
United
State
Constitution is the oldest written national constitution still
in use globally. It is a model
of separation of powers and
checks and balances has been
adopted by numerous other
countries in their governing
documents.
Trade and possibilities
Kansas farmers and ranchers set a new record for agricultural exports in 2022 by shipping nearly $5.5 billion worth
of food and farm-grown products to other countries. About
half of that total came from our
neighbors. Mexico and Canada,
first and third, respectively,
are crucial partners not only
because of proximity but also
a robust free-trade framework.
Japans desire for quality beef
put it in the second spot to
round out the top three.
Thats a big impact for a
small state, but this trade
wasnt a one-sided deal either.
As Kansas and the U.S. in general shipped corn and wheat
to Mexico, we also imported
tequila, tomatoes and avocados
to make taco night more fun
and tasty, too.
Trading with Canada and
Japan is a similar give and
take with beneficial results for
everyone, especially those who
enjoy seafood. I enjoy a good
filet of fried catfish as much
as anyone, but Im willing to
bet bluefin tuna is superior for
making sushi.
These exchanges are a lot
like life, and not every trade
partner is a good or desirable
one. But for farmers and ranchers, trade is vital for two reasons. First, American farms
and ranches are the most efficient in the world, and they
grow far more than the domestic market would ever come

GREG DOERING, KANSAS FARM BUREAU
close to consuming. Second,
overseas consumers also have
different tastes than you and I
do.
Theres not a large market
for things like tongue, intestines and organ meat in the
U.S., where offal is more likely
to be discarded than consumed.
But for other regions, these
items are often sought after as
delicacies. Trade helps meet
this demand, lowers the local
price and increases the value of
animals raised by U.S. farmers
and ranchers.
Food isnt the only thing
that benefits from trade, its
just a personal favorite. Crossborder transactions have the
potential to create wealth by
leveraging comparative advantage and specialization across
the globe. Different climates
and soils paired with opposing
seasons and tastes are just a
few reasons why food trade is
valuable to anyone who likes
variety.
Agriculture is the reason
the United States has the larg-
est economy in the world, but
its not because we grow the
most food. While farmers and
ranchers occupy much of the
vast area of the United States,
theyre just a small portion
of the 330 million Americans.
Less than 2 percent, in fact.
And while we certainly enjoy
the fruits of the labor, the other
98 percent of us are free to hone
our skills and innovate to create things we couldnt have otherwise.
If you break down Kansas
ag exports by commodity, then
the states second most valuable export was meat and offal.
Grains like corn and wheat
were fourth, followed by oil
seeds like soybeans in sixth
place. First, third and fifth
were aircraft and parts, industrial machinery and electric
machinery, respectively.
So, the next time you fly
on an airplane or pick up a
power tool or just check your
cell phone, give thanks to farmers and ranchers. They didnt
invent airplanes, power tools,
cell phones or any of the other
21st century technologies we
enjoy, but their work made
them possible.
"Insight" is a weekly column
published by Kansas Farm
Bureau, the state's largest farm
organization whose mission is
to strengthen agriculture and
the lives of Kansans through
advocacy, education and service.

LAWSUIT…
FROM PAGE 1
Newells drivers license suspension led to Meyer and his
reporters double checking
the information theyd been
given, and then simply passing
the information along to law
enforcement with no plans to
report on it.
Shortly afterward they were
faced with a raid by the police
chief (whom the paper had been
investigating), and the stress of
the event possibly caused the
death of Meyers 98 year-old
mother. (Meyers mother lived
at his home, which was also
raided.)
Cody claimed, in the widely-criticized search warrant
application, that merely access-
ing that website to confirm the
status of a drivers license was
identity theft, and unauthorized access of a public computer system.
However, Gruver was not
only not at the meet and greet,
neither was she the reporter
who double checked the information about Newells drivers
license on the public-facing
Kansas Department of Revenue
site that was reporter Phyllis
Zorn.
Shuart, in the filing,
describes what appears to
be some personal animosity
against Gruver by Cody.
By August 11, Chief Cody
had been serving as Marion
Police Chief while knowingly under investigation by Ms.
Gruver and the Record for
alleged prior misconduct since
the time of his application and
hiring, had removed Record
personnel from a public meetand-greet session with a United
States Congressman at the
request of a restaurant owner,
Ms. Newell, and had become
aware of the Records acquisition of public information
about Ms. Newells past drunken-driving arrest, which had
caused an inflamed response by
Ms. Newell the same person
who had become angry after
apparently overhearing Ms.
Gruvers telephonic conversation with a source in April, the
complaint reads. By August
11, Chief Cody had also directly
expressed to reporter Phyllis

Zorn his support for her work
telling her that Eric Meyer
and Deb Gruver were the real
problem with the paper.
But during the raid after
handing the warrant to Gruver,
who then began to call Meyer
on her cellphone Cody
allegedly snatched the phone
from her hand despite Gruver
not actually being named in the
warrant or application.
Indeed, the warrant only
allowed Cody to seize digital
communications devices which
were or have been used to
access the Kansas Department
of Revenue records website,
a computer or device that has
been used to access the site
and the authority to conduct a
preview search of any devices

but to exclude from seizure
those which have not been
involved in the (alleged) identity theft.
The personal cellular
phone was taken directly
from Ms. Gruvers person
and had not been left in the
offices, the complaint reads.
There was no factual basis to
believe Ms. Gruvers personal
cellular phone was evidence
of the alleged crime, or any
crime. Ms. Gruvers cellular
phone was not verified as having been used to access the
Kansas Department of Revenue
records website. Rather than
conducting a preview search
on site to exclude from seizure a personal cellular phone
which had not been involved
in the [alleged] identity theft,
Chief Cody seized the phone
and removed it from the premises along with the other equipment.
According to the complaint,
Gruver asked Cody for her
phone back during the three
hour raid after telling him she
had nothing to do with the drivers license search and getting
a reply I actually believe you,
from Cody, but did not get her
phone back until days later
when the warrant was rescinded.
Gruver is asking for compensatory damages in excess
of $75,000 and punitive damages, also in excess of $75,000
both the minimum requirements for a federal lawsuit.
