3 arrested for beating, robbing shop owner
Garnett man, 2 from
Osawatomie arrested;
considered isolated event
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Three men
accused of robbing and beating an antique shop owner are
expected to appear in court
next week.
A Garnett man and two
Osawatomie men are accused
of beating and robbing
Beverly Honn, a 37-year-old
Willliamsburg woman who
owns and operates Papas
Front Porch Antiques, 618 E.
Sixth Ave, in Garnett, after an
incident Wednesday, April 12.
Honn was at the antique
store at about 11:30 p.m. when
she heard someone knock
at the door, Garnett Police
Chief Kurt King said. When
she opened the door, she was
attacked. A purse, phone and/
or cash was stolen, according to
court records filed in Anderson
County District Court.
Honn called 911 after the
incident, King said. She was
transported to the Anderson
County Hospital for serious
injuries sustained during the
robbery. She is believed to
have been released from the
hospital.
The woman said she knew
one of the men who attacked
her, King said.
Law enforcement officers
investigated and arrested
Daniel VanNorman, age 30, in
Garnett, according to a report
from the Kansas Bureau of
Investigations. Two other
men, Billy Joe Waters, age 43,
of Osawatomie; and Harold
Stults, age 36, of Osawatomie;
were arrested in separate locations in Osawatomie. Each
arrest took place without incident, the KBI report said. All
three men were booked into
Anderson County Jail and
criminal charges of aggravated
robbery were filed against each
of them.
If convicted, each could face
a sentence between 55 months
(about 4 and a half years) to
247 months (about 20 and a half
years) in prison, and a fine of
up to $300,000.
All three men were scheduled to have a court appearance at 9 a.m. Tuesday, April
25.
King said all suspects in
the case have been accounted
for, and he does not anticipate
additional arrests. He said the
incident does not appear to be
related to recent burglaries in
Anderson County.

Vernon Valentine said his
department is investigating

Attorney sues county, city
Forrest Lowry broke
ankle walking near jail,
says city, county negligent
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – An Ottawa attorney is suing Anderson County
and the City of Garnett for
damages after he slipped on ice
and snow near the county jail
and broke his ankle more than
two years ago.
Forrest A. Lowry, an Ottawa
attorney, left the Anderson
County jail Feb. 17, 2015, when
he slipped and fell and fractured his ankle, according to
court records at the Anderson
County
District
Court.
Anderson County and the City
of Garnett have a duty to main-
tian the property and keep it
clear of ice, snow and other
debris that make it dangerous
to walk, the court filing read.
Lowrys suit alleges the county and city were negligent in
their duties to maintain a clear
sidewalk or roadway for pedestrians. He is asking for in excess
of $75,000 plus costs and interest. The case was filed April 6,
2017. No hearing date was listed.

Road and Bridge
Mike Bixler spoke to commission regarding signage at the
intersection of 1000 and Missouri
Rd. He believes because of the
inability to see past the hay bales
on the property adjacent to the
road and people traveling at high
speeds, there will be an accident
if there is not a stop sign or at
least a yield sign put up. Lester
will check into the possibility of
a yield sign and will talk to the
property owner regarding moving
the hay bales for better visibility.
Lester presented a rock bid from
Whitaker showing that they are
raising the price of road rock 75
cents. Vernon Yoder, Noxious
Weed Director joined the meeting. He will designate when and
where roadside mowers are to

1858 Garnett House
gets zoning change
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – City leaders
granted a zoning change that
would allow the owners of a
historic Garnett house to operate a tourist stop, but pledged
to change the rules so no one
could flip the plans and build
a different kind of business at
the spot.
Robert Garcia and Justin
Spurrier recently purchased
an 1858 house near the downtown area that was used as a
hotel in its earliest days, and
as a doctors office for about
the past 50 years. The men
have experience with historic
homes and want to remodel the
home in a style more fitting to
its 19th century, pre-Civil War
origin. Then, they hope to offer
it as a sort of tourist attraction
and for small events such as
weddings.
But before that can happen,
they had to obtain the citys
permission to change the zoning from residential to Other
– Industrial (O-I), which would
allow for such things as a
museum, bed and breakfast,
and other uses.
Thats where things got
tricky. The O-I designation
allows for up to 60 uses, including a gas station, liquor store or
bank. Mayor Gordon Blackie
spoke to the planning and zoning commission as a citizen
and objected to the change, for
fear the men could encounter
problems and sell the house,
along with an adjoining lot to
the west. A new owner could
come in and build a gas station
or liquor store or some other
business, and the citys hands
would be tied because such a
use would be allowed under the
O-I zoning.
Blackie said he supported
Garcia and Spurriers plans
and wanted them to be successful, but he was concerned about
unintended consequences.
Spurrier and Garcia said
they have been in a holding
pattern while awaiting the zoning decision. They didnt want
to invest significant time and
money in the house if the city
refused to allow them to proceed as planned.
City
Attorney
Terry
Solander advised commissioners they could move forward
and grant the zoning change
to the two men, then change
the rules. Planning and zoning
committee members already
pledged to have special work
sessions to revise the O-I zoning rules; they wanted to look
at each of the 60 possible uses
under the O-I designation and
amend or restrict those uses.
Solander said it was extremely unlikely the house could be
sold to someone else, torn down
and rebuilt to another use
before the zoning rules were
changed.
Spurrier and Garcia said
their intent is to restore the
house. Garcia, a historian, said
he plans to make every effort
to ensure the antebellum home
remains standing. Spurrier
and Garcia also are waiting for
the results of an engineering
study to determine if the house
is structurally sound, but said
they feel confident they can
make any repairs that may be
needed.
Commissioners voted 2-0 to
grant the zoning change, then
voted to suspend any further
zoning permits under an O-I
district until the planning
commission could review and
recommend changes. Blackie
abstained from the vote.
$612.50 plus costs and interest.
April 12, Galt Ventures, LLC
vs. Kendell Coles, asking $737.99
plus costs and interest.

I like Garnett. I like this
community, he said.
The zoning administrator oversees all planning
and zoning activities for the
City of Garnett, and also is
in charge of building matters
like inspections, codes and
compliance. He also serves as
the ADA Coordinator for the
city. Giczewski said he feels
comfortable with the range of
duties required for the job. Hes
especially interested in ADA
access, making sure everyone
has the ability to enter buildings like stores and restaurants, or have access to crosswalks and sidewalks. There are
a few places, especially older
buildings, that do not need to
meet ADA requirements unless
they undergo a major remodel
or make ADA improvements
voluntarily.
I know a lot of disabled
veterans, Giczewski said. Id
like everyone to have access

Of course, decisions made

Live is full of gray areas, and our
freedom as American citizens gives us
the opportunity to make multiple
choices every day. As a person who has
the tendency to think every question
has a logical, linear, definable solution,
I admit that gray areas are confounding
to me sometimes.
Im not indecisive, Id rather just have
some of lifes simpler choices made for
me. For example, I was taught as a child
that dairy products are good for me, but
now some say that isnt true. Hearing
that white cheese is better for me than
yellow cheese, or that goat cheese is the

In long-term care, we can on one
extreme create a surplus of safety
that limits the independence of the
individual. On the other extreme,
financial concerns can result in poor
outcomes when facilities are too
under-staffed to provide the level
of care the residents require.
Measuring a healthcare providers ethics
is difficult work in a world of gray,
relativistic thinking where good
is often defined is not as bad as
the others. However, even in the gray
areas there are bright line standards
that should not be crossed. You can
make good decisions by looking at the
company a person keeps, by looking
at past performance as a predictor of
future outcomes, and by asking probing,
open-ended questions about the
providers propensity to take
unnecessary risks in providing care.
If you are in the position of evaluating
long-term care providers, dont shy away
from the E word. Ethics still matter to
the health and well-being of your loved
one.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, April 18, 2017
OPINION
Cherishing the humanely inhumane
The U.S. militarys use of a 22,000 pound
bomb against an ISIS tunnel network in
Afghanistan last week begs a humble comparison to the carnage wrought in previous
wars and illustrates the extreme efforts taken
in modern times to obliterate our enemies as
humanely as possible.
Thursdays exercise of the MOAB, Massive
Ordinance Air Blast, or the Mother of All
Bombs as its called in the mens rooms of
the Pentagon, was its first-ever actual combat use. Second only to a nuclear weapon in
our arsenal of ear-ringers, the MOAB wasnt
used up to this point because of its potential
for collateral damage. It makes sense if you
remember the cool video of pilots guiding
their bombs through the windows and down
the chimneys of enemy facilities in the Gulf
War not much point in where your bomb
lands if its, well, the next best thing to a
nuke. The old saying will then have to be
amended: Almost only counts in horse
shoes, hand grenades, and now MOABs.
But even with its ferocious explosive
horsepower, the MOAB still follows what has
become a standard for kind-hearted exterminaton set forth by conscience-driven, or at
least public relations-driven, NATO powers.
Its still a pretty pinpointed weapon if you
dont use it too close to anything else, and the
caves and tunnel networks of the greatly isolated Nangarhar Province made for a great
target without a lot of flattened orphanages
or hospitals or elementary schools showing
up later on CNN video.
Estimates are 30-80 dead. Unless you just
happened to be delivering pizza or Chinese
food, if you were in those tunnels, you probably were a bad guy.
But the great thing is those hiding places
are gone, along with everything in them that
helped ISIS in its dastardly mission, atomized with at least a handful of its malcontent
members.
How far we have come in the way we lob
death at people, actually making a herculean effort in these technology-driven days to
spare civilians at every opportunity. Thats
a radical departure from mans history with
warfare, and honestly, its one for which we
should take a rightful bow.
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
Ghengis Khan didnt sweat the lives of
civilians when his Mongol armies laid waste
to the cities of Samarkand and Bokhara in
the Kwaresmian Empire of central Asia in
the 1200s. Napoleon had no qualms in dictating the eradication of all black slaves over the
age of 12 in Haiti during the Haitian fight for
Independence. The Imperial Japanese Army
gave civilians no quarter during the Rape of
Nanking, China, in 1937, with the murder of
hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians and the sexual assault and abduction of
between 20,000 and 80,000 Chinese women for
use as comfort women for Japans soldiers.
American and British warplanes dropped
3,900 tons of explosives and incendiaries on
Dresden, Germany, in early 1945, immolating some 1,600 acres of the city and killing
22,000-25,000 uniformed soldiers and factory
workers in the resulting fires. As terrible as
it remains today, war, in quantifiable terms,
has been a much more horrible thing.
So it is right and just that we should celebrate both the technology of pin-pointed warfare itself and those who apply it so consistently and concisely in these modern times. It
is right and just that we should note the stark
contrast between ourselves and the enemy
we face not an enemy which eschews the
destruction of civilians as we do who revels
in it and who makes it his objective.
There is, to some degree, a higher moral
ground in war which can be won and we have
won it as terrible as it all still remains in its
brutal totality.

Obama was really the Russian Stooge
The circumstantial evidence is mounting
that the Kremlin succeeded in infiltrating the
U.S. government at the highest levels.
How else to explain a newly elected president looking the other way after an act of
Russian aggression? Agreeing to a farcically
one-sided nuclear deal? Mercilessly mocking the idea that Russia represents our foremost geopolitical foe? Accommodating the
illicit nuclear ambitions of a Russian ally?
Welcoming a Russian foothold in the Middle
East? Refusing to provide arms to a sovereign
country invaded by Russia? Diminishing our
defenses and pursuing a Moscow-friendly policy of hostility to fossil fuels?
All of these items, of course, refer to things
said or done by President Barack Obama.
To take them in order: He reset with Russia
shortly after its clash with Georgia in 2008.
He concluded the New START agreement
with Moscow that reduced our nuclear forces
but not theirs. When candidate Mitt Romney
warned about Russia in the 2012 campaign,
Obama rejected him as a Cold War relic. The
president then went on to forge an agreement
with Russias ally Iran to allow it to preserve
its nuclear program. During the red-line fiasco, he eagerly grasped a lifeline from Russia
at the price of accepting its intervention in
Syria. He never budged on giving Ukraine
lethal weapons to defend itself from Russian
attack. Finally, Obama cut U.S. defense spend-
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
ing and cracked down on fossil fuels, a policy
that Russia welcomed since its economy is
dependent on high oil prices.
Put all of this together, and its impossible
to conclude anything other than that Obama
was a Russian stooge, and not out of any nefarious dealings, but out of his own naivete and
weakness.
The cost of Obamas orientation toward
Russia has now become clearer. When he
pulled up short from enforcing his red line,
an agreement with the Russians to remove
Bashar Assads chemical weapons became
the fig leaf to cover his retreat. This deal was
obviously deficient, but Obama officials used
clever language to give the impression that
it had removed all chemical weapons from
Syria. Never mind that Assad still used chlorine gas to attack his population — exploiting
a grievous loophole — and that evidence piled
up that Assad was cheating more broadly.
The Russians eagerly covered for Assad
because hes their client. What was the Obama
administrations excuse? It effectively made
itself a liar for the Russians at the same time
Moscow bolstered the Assad regime we said
had to go, smashed the moderate opposition
we were trying to create and sent a destabilizing refugee flow into Europe.
With his secretary of state and U.N. ambassador hitting Russia hard over the Assad
gas attack and Trumps strike challenging
Russias position, the administration looks
to be adopting a hardheaded attitude without
bothering with a doomed reset first.
Even if Obama eventually got tougher on
Russia — imposing sanctions after the Ukraine
invasion and sending contingents of U.S.
troops to countries near Russia — he never
entirely shed his reflex toward accommodation. No matter what conspiracy theorists
might say, theres nothing to suggest anything
untoward about Obamas relationship with
Russia. But based on the record alone, you
might have suspicions.

Expect frustration about tax talk, schools
Still two weeks before the Legislature
returns to Topeka, so the Statehouse is virtually empty of lawmakersa few stopping
in to check the mail or maybe just hoping to
find a lobbyist to take them to lunch.
But this next two weeks are all about
what is necessary in the legislative wrap-up
session, what is possible, and whether weve
seen enough sparring to determine whos
going to do it.
That what is necessary, of course, has two
componentsputting together a budget and
putting together a school finance formula
that the Kansas Supreme Court has demanded by July 1.
You dont have a budget until you see how
much money you need and figure out where
to get it, and you dont have a school finance
formula until the Supreme Court says you
do.
Key to everything is the Thursday meeting
of the Consensus Revenue Estimating Group
(CREG); sometime Thursday afternoon,
reporters start looking at the Statehouse,
to see if a white puff of smoke has gone up,
signaling that CREG has met, presumably
bargained with each other in the rarified
argot of economists, and come up with revenue projections. Or, if its windy out, well get
a notice of a meeting time at which the CREG
estimate will be released.
Those economists and revenue specialists and whomever else gather somewhere
secret in the Statehouse look at revenues
from whom and what, and assemble the revenue estimate which the Legislature uses to
assemble a budget and figure out how much
money the state needs to finance those services that the state provides us taxpayers.
STATE COMMENTARY
MARTIN HAWVER, At The Rail
Andwhile that revenue business is
being juggled, theres still that formula for
making sure that children from border to
border have equal access to school programs
and the chance to get a good education, and
that roughly 25 percent of Kansas pupils
who arent performing well academically for
whatever reason get the assistance they need
to emerge from high school ready for a job or
vocational education or higher education.
Then, theres still that issue about expanding Medicaid under the in-the-GOP-gunsights
Affordable Care Act which will provide
health care to maybe 150,000 poor Kansans.
The Legislature passed a bill, remember, to
allow Kansans to get that health care, the
governor vetoed it, and the Legislature didnt
override the veto.
Soalong with the states fiscal issues,
there are Kansans who arent getting health
care, and cant work because of illnesses or
might spread those illnesses to Kansans who
can afford health insurance but come into
contact in everyday life with those who cant.
Sound like a problem that needs a solution,
or at least enough votes to override a veto?
But, its quiet this week and you dont
have to thread your way through the halls
bumping into lawmakers who are having
learned the physical lay of the land here are
still learning the political lay of the land.
Itll be next week that lawmakers start diagramming the catch phrase sentences they
will use to talk about taxes, budget, schools,
Medicaid and a range of other issues that
they must solve or figure a way to delay until
next year before they can call this session to
a halt.
Is there a plan here? Well, so far, it doesnt
look like one is going together. Weve had
three months of a legislative session where
we have learned that legislators arent enthusiastic about a flat rate income tax to raise
whatever money they are going to learn this
week that they will need. Oh, and the governor isnt enthusiastic about taxing LLCs and
those other corporations that if their founders were smart enough to label their profits
as non-wage income dont pay income tax.
But clearly, if the Legislature doesnt
come up with a plan that the governor will
sign into law, well, theres always pulling
money out of the Bank of KDOT, as the
Kansas Department of Transportation has
become known because it just takes a few
minutes for the governor to sweep its sales
tax receipts from roadway-building into the
State General Fund for general government
use.
Look for the frustration, the taxes, the
spending and the schools to take center stage
May 1 when lawmakers return.
ironic that a church sponsors the pagan ritual of an Easter egg hunt?
I cant believe its taking so long to find out
who will be the next city manager. How long
does it take to negotiate? Whats he asking
for anyway?
Maybe people need to have a refresher
course in drivers ed every so often. I know
people are just trying to be nice, but if Im
turning it makes me nervous when someone
who stopped first at the intersection and
is going straight waves me on to turn. Not
every intersection is a four-way stop. Or
vice versa, when someone turns in front of
me when I have the right of way. Even on
the highway, for Petes sake! Seventh Street
at the highway is the worst. Also Seventh
and Oak and Sixth and Oak.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, April 18, 2017
Now is the
appointed time!
In Matthew 16:26, Jesus
is explaining to his disciples that he must go to
Jerusalem be killed and on
the third day be raised to
life. He says, For whoever
wants to save his life will
lose it, but whoever loses his
life for me will find it. What
good will it be for a man if he
gains the whole world, yet
loses his soul. In Matthew
19:16-24, a rich young man
comes to Jesus and asks him
a question. He is seeking to
get from Jesus the answer
to how he might get eternal
life. He has his own answer
prepared as he knows how
Jesus will probably respond.
A couple of words betray his
motive. The two words are I
do and get. The young man
asks, What good thing must
I do to get eternal life? Jesus
tells the man he must obey
the commandments.
The
young man quickly responds
that he has kept them all
from his youth. The young
man then continues to press
Jesus with another question.
What do I still lack? Jesus
then responds. Go sell your
possessions and give to the
poor and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come
follow me.
These same words I do and
get betray you and I as well.
We would like nothing better
than to have control over our
ultimate eternal destination.
But this can never be. Our
lives are in Gods hands and
that applies to believers as
well as non-believers. God
applies mercy to the believer
and justice to the non-believer. There is nothing we can
do to get eternal life, that is
using the approach the young
man proposed to Jesus. This
will become very apparent
WEEKLY
DEVOTIONAL
By David Bilderback
when we die. In the 23rd
Psalm the Psalmist states,
Even though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of
death I will fear no evil, for
you are with me, thy rod and
thy staff they comfort me.
This will be a reality for each
of us some day. In order for
us to go through the valley of
the shadow of death and onto
the gates of that great celestial city requires a personal
relationship with Jesus not
personal effort.
In Acts 24:24-25, Paul the
apostle is on trial before governor Felix. Paul discoursed
with Felix on righteousness,
self-control and the judgment
and we read Felix was afraid.
He sent Paul away until he
could find a more convenient
time. Someday each of us
will be faced with a decision
for Jesus just as Felix was.
Jesus said whoever wants
to save his life will lose it.
What Jesus is referring to is
the pursuit of worldly things
at the expense of a relationship with him. Felix like
the young man treasured his
possessions and power even
though they were as fleeting
as his own life. The valley of
the shadow of death is real if
we chose Gods justice over
his mercy in this life. The
psalmist states he will fear
no evil for God is with him.
Felix had reason to be afraid
he was alone.

Errors costly for
Vikings in losses
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COUNCIL GROVE – The
Central Heights Vikings didnt
show up defensively and it was
costly as Council Grove rolled
CHHS 15-8 and 14-4 in the doubleheader.
Fifteen errors by the defense
made it virtually impossible for the Vikings pitching
staff. In the early game, Kyler
Brotherton went 2 1/2 innings,
allowing just one hit and one
earned run. Unfortunately for
the Vikings they committed 8
errors which led to 5 unearned
runs allowed by the starter.
Offensively it wasnt a bad
showing for the Vikings, but
they couldnt keep up with
Council Grove. Seth Burroughs
and Jake Dunnivan both went
2-4 and combined to drive in 4
runs and score 3 more runs.
The late game of the doubleheader saw the Vikings kick
the ball around again, committing 7 more errors. Despite the
Vikings losing the second game
14-4, Brotherton and Wyatt
Thompson combined for 5 hits
in 6 at bats for two of the runs.
Vikings earn medals
at Pleasanton Invite
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
PLEASANTON Several
Vikings team members were
unable to compete at the
Pleasanton Invitational meet
due to injuries and medical
issues, but that didnt stop several first-rate individual performances from other squad
members.
The boys team finished 4th
overall and the girls team finished in 8th place.
Kyle Cardin won gold in the
1600 meter run with a time of
5:29 and backed that up with a
strong performance in the 3200
meter run as well finishing second with a time of 12:03.
Freshman Alex Cannady
won gold in the 3200 meter run
with an impressive time of
11:18.
Backed by the legs of Cardin
and Cannady the boys 4×800
meter relay team finished in
first place with a time of 9:32.7.
James Little and Matthew
Ashwill were the other two
runners that helped win the
gold medal.
In the field events, Devon
Weber led the way for the
Vikings. Weber finished third
in both the high jump and long
jump with leaps of 58 and
197 respectively.
Coyd Gardner won the
bronze medal in the discus
with a heave of 1292.
In girls results, the all
freshmen 4×800 relay team
consisting of Cyla Gardner,
Hailee Riemer, Hannah Jumet
and Madison Bridges, finished
second with a time of 13:30.
Bridges also finished 4th in
both the 1600 meter run (6:35)
and the 800 meter run (3:03).
Gardner tossed the shot put
272.5 for a fourth place finish.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – The Anderson
County Bulldogs baseball squad
welcomed the Iola Mustangs
last Tuesday for a doubleheader and wound up winning the
final game to salvage a split.
In the opener Iola pounded
out 14 hits en route to a relatively easy 7-1 victory.
The Bulldogs scored the
opening run in the second
before the Mustangs rallied
with 2 runs in the third and 4
more in the fourth.
The three hits for the
Bulldogs were picked up by
Austin Adams, Austin Peine
and Kyle Lamb.
Peine was also the starting
pitcher and while he allowed
6 runs in 5 innings, only 2 of
those were earned. He struck
out 7 batters without a walk.
We had great pitching from
Peine in the first game, head
coach Matt Stevenson said.
Unfortunately our offense
and defense couldnt muster
enough support for the win.

Friends of the Prairie Spirit
Rail Trail met April 12, 2017
in the Archer Room at the
Garnett Public Library.
President Skip Landis welcomed the thirty members and
one guest to the meeting.
It was decided to have the
annual Birthday Bash next
year in March. It had been
very successful this year and
since it is the trails only
money making project each
year it was decided to continue
it.
President Skip Landis presented Ruth Theis, the outgoing President with a gift certificate and floral bouquet. He
expressed his appreciation for
her dedication the past two
years .
Glen Hastert announced he
had delivered bottled water to
City Hall from the trail for the
Pub to Pub Run.
Members will gather at the
depot on May 4th to spruce up
the landscaping and clean out
the depot. The work time will
be 6:00 to 8:00 pm.
Ruth Lee Hastert stated the
museum room at the depot
is finished and ready to be
enjoyed.
A review of the 2017-2018
events calendar was discussed
and chairmen named for each
event.
The next regular meeting
will be May 10, 2017 at the depot
at 7:00 pm.
Membership is open to
anyone interested in the trail.
Contact Skip Landis at 620-2727321 if you would like to be a

Local responders participate
in tabletop exercise in Garnett
On Tuesday, April 11th,
over 30 responders representing law enforcement,
fire department, emergency management, and EMS
from Garnett and Anderson
County participated in multiple tabletop exercises in
Garnett. The scenarios for
the exercises involved hazardous materials released
from a train derailment,
barricaded suspect from
an assault, and a tornado
impacting a community.
The purpose of these exercises was to allow participants to discuss and identify objectives to a major
response, tactics needed to
remediate the issues, as well
as vehicle placement at an
emergency or disaster.
The exercises were pre-
pared and executed by The
Blue Cell LLC based out of
Colorado. The Blue Cell is
a company that specializes
in exercise design and execution for government and
emergency services across
the United States.
Funding for the exercises, in addition to hazardous
materials response training
held earlier this year, was
provided by a Hazardous
Materials
Emergency
Preparedness grant through
the State of Kansas.
Franklin County Emergency
Management applied for
this funding that allowed
for training and exercises to
be conducted in Anderson,
Coffey, Franklin, and Osage
County.
Its not often we as
responders get the opportunity to think out how we
would respond to a disaster.
Using the tabletop exercise
approach we were able to
have a better overall picture of what is happening
and where its best to place
vehicles and apparatus.
This was a great learning
experience in an enjoyable
environment that brought
law enforcement, firefighters, and EMS personnel
all together to discuss a
response to a major incident.
I want to thank Todd and
Heather with The Blue Cell
for coming in for the evening
as well as Franklin County
Emergency Management for
handling the grant process.

Emergency.

Selling, in the words of Carnegie
The publication of Dale
Carnegies famous sales book
How to win friends and influence people is coming up on its
81st anniversary in 2017. The
tech business nerds at Intuit
boiled down Carnegies signature work into its top nine
ideas, and what a great reminder for everyone whos in the
business of selling stuff.
Smile. Carnegie called it a
simple way to make a good first
impression. Every business
encounter across the desk,
at the customers front door,
and even on the telephone
should begin with a smile. A
smile says I like you.
Listen. Customers and clients want to hear what they
have to say first. Beyond that,
consider this: How can you, as
a sales rep, know what customers need if you dont give them
the chance to tell you?
Eager Want. Understand
the motivations of your customer. If you own a bait store,
understand that customers do
not desire nightcrawlers, they
desire fish.
Use names. Learn the names
of your employees, your customers, and your prospects
as they enter your sphere of
business. Use them. A persons
name is, to that person, the
sweetest and most important
sound in any language.
Avoid arguments. The only
way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it. Be respectful of the customers opinion.
Do not argue, criticize, or condemn. You will have an oppor-
HOW TO SELL STUFF
interaction and more to do with
a flair for the dramatic. Do not
be afraid to engage in a little
showmanship, as long as it is
honest and doesnt mislead people.
Great tips to remember for
everyone in the business of
selling.

tion or pitch, you discover you
have made an error, dont make
excuses. Say you are sorry and
do so emphatically, Carnegie
said. Then move on. You may
be surprised at how quickly the
whole incident is forgotten.
Let customers sell to themselves. In general, people do not
like to be told what to do or
what to buy. Provide information and be helpful, but let customers make the decision. You
do this by asking questions and
steering the conversation until
customers realize that your
product or service is the solution theyve been looking for.
Ask whats in it for customers. When discussing your
product, put it in terms that
speak to your customers interests. You may have the biggest,
fastest, and most reliable product on the market, but unless
customers see how it benefits
them, you wont make sales.
Dramatize your ideas. This
has less to do with human

Mothers Day
was started by

Now that the Easter
Bunny has hidden Easter
eggs everywhere to be
found by children of all
ages, what, special day do
we celebrate next? Could
it be Mothers Day?
Though the idea of setting aside a day to honor
mothers might seem to
have ancient roots, our
observance of Mothers
Day is not quite a century
old. It originated from the
efforts of a devoted young
schoolteacher, Miss Anna
Jarvis from West Virginia.
So on May 10 1908, the
first Mothers Day service
was held in Grafton, West
Virginia, attended by 407
children and their mothers. The ministers text
was, appropriate, John 19,
verses 26 and 27, Christs
parting words to his mother
and a disciple, spoken from
the cross: Woman, behold
thy son! and Behold thy
Mother!
At the conclusion of that
service, Miss Jarvis presented each mother and child
with a flower: a carnation,

her mothers favorite. It
launched a Mothers Day
tradition.
Within a few years after
President Wilsons proclamation, almost every country had a Mothers Day. By
every measure, though, the
United States outdoes all the
others. On Mothers Day,
Americans now purchase 10
million bouquets of flowers,
exchange 150 million greeting cards, and dine at restaurants more than any other
time of the year. A third of
all American families take

day.
Happy early Mothers Day
to all mothers, grandmothers
and great grandmothers.

City commissioners acted
Tuesday night to embrace
changes recommended by
the citys planning and zoning board last month to allow
for the construction of a new
county jail in a downtown area
where it previously was prohibited. A special use permit
already has been requested by
the countys Public Building
Commission pursuant to the
change, seeking specifically to
build the jail on the courthouse
square where the existing jail
now sits. The change in the
zoning grid also would apply to
a dilapidated block of buildings
on East Fifth Street across from
Main Street from the courthouse site, which has been proposed by a group of downtown
property owners who oppose
the courthouse square site.

The man who pleaded guilty
last week to a former Garnett
womans murder will face a
sentencing hearing April 28
which could land him a 104year sentence if all terms of
punishment are served consecutively. Kai Hill, 26, pled guilty
to the womans February 1996
murder only minutes after a
court found him competent to
stand trial based on a psychiatric evaluation, and after a conference between defense and
prosecutors. Particulars of the
crime will invoke the Hard 40
sentencing rule, which means
Hill will spend 40 years in prison without parole on the murder count alone.
In little more than the year
that the first phase of the

Mike McDowell said that City
Hall has been receiving a great
number of calls asking whether
watering of lawns is allowed.
The Garnett City Commission
at their last meeting again
tabled a water resolution,
which would have imposed
restrictive measures such as
prohibiting watering of lawns
and shrubs. McDowell said
there is no legal prohibition
against watering, but the city
was discouraging it unless it
was felt absolutely necessary,
in which case water should be
used sparingly.

Tyson votes no to
expand Medicaid
The House and Senate passed
Obamacare Medicaid Expansion
(House Bill HB 2044) but was
vetoed by the Governor. Medicaid
Expansion means expanding the
people eligible to Medicaid not
expanding the money available
for the current Medicaid recipients. The people who would be
added to Medicaid with this bill
are able-bodied people, many of
whom currently have some type
of health insurance. Expansion
would cost Kansas taxpayers an
estimated $1 billion in the next
5 years. The estimated cost to
start the program this year is $81
million for the State. However,
enrollment and spending are
much greater than expected in
states that expanded Obamacare.
So, we can expect the cost would
be over $81 million.
Hospitals and other medical
providers are anxious to have the
hundreds of millions of dollars
available with the Expansion.
However, the State does not have
the money to pay for HB 2044.
The Federal Government pays a
match of the expansion and the
states are responsible for the rest.
According to a research paper
by Brain Blas, Mercatus Center
at George Mason University,
This open-ended federal subsidy crowds out state spending
on other priorities, such as education and infrastructure. He
went on to say, Medicaid has
historically paid relatively low
rates for many services, making
providers reluctant to care for
Medicaid enrollees.
Medicaid Expansion would
extend Medicaid eligibility to able-bodied individuals.
Currently, we have a waiting list
to provide Medicaid to our most
vulnerable Kansans. Medicaid
Expansion money could not be
used for people on the waiting
list or for current Medicaid beneficiaries. Instead, Expansion
creates a new class of Medicaid

eligible people; thus, Medicaid
Expansion.
HB 2044 passed the Senate 25
to 14. I vote No. Neither the
House or Senate passed Medicaid
Expansion with 2/3 majority, the
number required to override the
Governors veto. The House was
not able to override the veto so
the veto is sustained.
Vending machines that sell
lottery tickets are on the way
to Kansas (HB 2313). The lottery has expanded advertising,
programs, and now the way
tickets can be sold. The Kansas
Lottery officials are confident
that minors will not have access
to these machines. Im not so
confident. The bill passed 30 to
10. I voted No.
New laws against human trafficking (SB 179) unanimously
passed the Senate. If the bill
passes the House as it stands, it
would make it illegal to communicate in writing, signs, pictures,
or sounds to facilitate or commit human trafficking or sexual
exploitation of a child.
HB 2095 would have allowed
vehicle weight limits to increase
to 90,000 pounds. However, the
Senate amended the bill to only
allow agriculture vehicle weight
limits to increase. The bill
passed 39 to 1. I voted Yes.

Jones: Simons Law
signed by governor
The House and the Senate
have adjourned for a few weeks
before we return for Veto session
and answer the States final questions of School Funding, Budget,
and Taxes. The Legislature did
pass out a 2017 rescission bill
for our current year to budget for the approximate $300M
shortfall in revenue. Most of it
was the Governors recommendation with a few changes not
the least of which is making the
$85M fourth-quarter payment
to Kansass Public Employees
Retirement system. I am thankful this seems to be the priority of most legislators. To do it
though, the bill takes from our
2018 and 2019 budget with onetime money.
However, I will be walking
out of the Statehouse with a
spring-in-my-step today having
just attended the official signing for Substitute for Senate Bill
85 (Sub SB85) otherwise known
as Simons Law. As one of the
Chief Sponsors of this bill it was
my honor and privilege to work
for Parental rights and precious
life by helping to usher this
legislation through the Kansas
House and to the Governors
desk. Governor Brownback
signed it today surrounded by
Simons family, supporting legislators, and love. Victory for the
oppressed in Kansas and across
our nation.
Simons Law will prohibit a hospital or physician from
placing a Do Not Attempt
Resuscitation (DNAR) order on a
child under the age of 18, without
parental consent. Simons Law is

Wedding planner tricks for a polished event on a budget
(BPT) – Planning your wedding is one of the
most important management jobs youll ever
take on. A professional wedding planner
could help make the day go smoothly, but
you can also achieve the same effect yourself
for less money.
According to TheKnot.com, the average
cost for a professional wedding planner is
just under $2,000, but many couples dont
have that kind of wiggle room in their budgets. In fact, 74 percent of couples didnt hire
a wedding planner in 2015, the website says.
You can still pull off a polished wedding if
you borrow a few tactics from a wedding
planners bag of tricks.
Make the rental store your playground
Professional wedding planners dont
stockpile wedding items, they rent what they
need to make a wedding run smoothly and
look great. From tents and outdoor heaters,
tables and chairs, to glassware, dishes, dance
floors and dcor, rental stores supply the
wedding industry with the basics, luxuries
and everything in between.
When a professional planner rents items,
he or she typically passes on the rental cost
to the clients, on top of fees for professional
services. You can rent the same items yourself through a rental store.
Working with rental companies is like
being in a fantasyland, Minneapolis-based
wedding professionals Matthew Trettel and
Bruce Vassar, The Wedding Guys, recently
said in an interview with Rental Management
magazine. There are so many endless possibilities, and the only thing holding you back
is the event budget. Even on the smallest
budget, you can always enhance or elevate an
event working with a rental company.
Emphasize organization
Professional wedding planners use their
organizational skills to ensure weddings go
smoothly despite any surprises that arise. You can
employ many of the same
organizational tricks they
use to help yourself manage the numerous details
that go into a wedding,
including:
* Create an inspiration
board. Gathering your
color choices, theme elements and inspirations
in one spot can help your
decision-making process.
For example, not sure
which floral arrangement
will look right for your
wedding? Refer back to
your inspiration board and
see which of your choices
best matches your inspiration.
* The budget can be the

Newlyweds: Money-saving tips for your first move together
(BPT) – With the average wedding costing
upwards of $30,000, starting your new life
together takes a lot of careful budgeting.
After youve finished paying for the flowers, reception hall, caterer, photographer
and everything else related to your big
day, you may not have much money left
over when it comes time to move into a
new home together. However, managing
your move can be your first big DIY home
project together, and its one thats very
doable on a budget.
Whether youre moving in together for
the first time or moving up from a smaller
apartment to the home where youll start
your married life, you can save money
and make your move go smoothly with a
few tips:
Streamline
If you were both living on your own
before marriage, you probably have duplicate items you wont need, such as two sets
of pots and pans, dishes, glassware and
furniture. You also likely received some
wedding gifts that can replace old stuff.
Dont take things you dont need with you
to your new home. Instead, streamline by
selling or donating excess stuff. Selling
unneeded items can put some money in
your pocket when you need it most. Or,
donating goods can help you get a tax
credit for charitable contributions when
you file your taxes next year.
Hold on to gift cards
If you received gift cards for your wedding, you might be tempted to spend them
right away. However, every item you buy
before the move is one more thing youll
have to pack and haul. Put off using gift
cards until after the move, when you can
use them to help decorate or furnish your
new home.
Line up your moving truck
Renting a truck and doing your own
packing and driving are great ways to
save money on your move. If youre moving from a small apartment or condo into
a larger home, you probably have less
2×3
pampered chef
www.pamperedchef.biz/chrisrockers
stuff, and a smaller vehicle – such as a
12- or 16-foot Penske rental truck should
be big enough. Generally, moving experts
recommend you plan for 150 cubic feet of
space for every furnished room youll be
moving. Be sure to reserve your truck at
least two weeks in advance, and ask about
discounts.
Pack wisely
Youll need multiple sizes of sturdy
boxes to pack and protect your belongings
for the move. Your local truck rental store
will have all the packing supplies you
need. Start early and pack over time so
the job doesnt feel overwhelming. Label
each box with the contents and the room
where it will go in your new house, tape it
securely and its all ready to go onto the
truck on moving day.
Get help
Moving day is a great excuse for a
party! Ask friends over to help, and when
the job is done treat everyone to take-out
in your new home. For particularly heavy
or fragile items, like an antique armoire
or big sectional, it may make sense to hire
professionals to help you pack and load
those items.
Loading up
Loading the truck well maximizes the
use of the space and helps protect your
belongings while theyre in transit. Load
the heaviest boxes and items first, placing
them on the bottom of the truck. Next,
load lighter items and boxes on top.
Drive safely
Your move may be the first time youve
driven a vehicle larger than an SUV.
Safely driving a moving truck takes some
caution, such as using your mirrors to
help navigate turns, avoiding abrupt
stops or lane changes, and setting the
emergency brake every time you park.
Moving into your first new home
together can be an exciting experience.
With some planning and care, you can
accomplish your move smoothly and on
budget.

Get the lowdown on leasing
(BPT) – If youre in the market for a
new car, you might be thinking about
leasing. After all, it seems very attractive
on the surface – so attractive that leases
accounted for one-third of all vehicles
sales nationally in 2016. Taking a closer
look though, you may be surprised to see
theres more than meets the eye in some
lease offers. So, here are a few need-toknow nuggets about leasing a car.
Cash up front is required.
If youre thinking that leasing gets you
out of needing cash for a down payment,
think again. That low monthly payment
youre after comes with upfront costs like
taxes, registration, tags and other fees
all due at signing. This could cost you
thousands of dollars. And, if you want to
lower the monthly payment even further,
youll have to put additional funds toward
the cost of the lease to get your payment
where you want it to be.
Bells and whistles cost extra.
Just like when youre buying a new
car, the extras cost more. Advertised lease
specials are usually for the base model
– not the one with the navigation and
safety packages youre probably coveting.
Adding on all the bells and whistles to
your vehicle will mean higher payments
because that raises the price of the car.
Again, you may have to put an additional
deposit down to land the payment you
think you can afford.
Not owning means no asset.
Leasing is basically renting a car for
an extended period of time – three to five
years or so. Unlike buying a car, you
wont have an asset at the end of your
lease. Which means youll have a decision
to make: pay the residual value (the value
of the car at the leases end) to own the car
outright, finance the residual or turn in
your leased car for another. Regardless,
youll again need the cash for a down payment or the upfront costs for your next
lease – whereas with buying a car youll
have a definitive end to monthly payments. Once your loan is paid off, you can
put that money toward savings or paying
down debt. Or, you can use your car as a
trade-in on another ride or for cash if you
ever need to sell it.
Once youre in it, stay in it.
If you get halfway through your lease
and decide its not for you, youll be
charged for early termination, something
to keep in mind if your financial lifestyle
changes often. In some cases, you might
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 4-18-2017 / Brandpoint Content
A lease might be a better option than buying, but its important to understand the pros and cons.
be required to continue to pay all regularly scheduled payments or your credit
could take a hit.
Understand complex negotiations.
Understanding how a car loan works
can sometimes be difficult for a first-timer, and things get even more intricate
when you lease. Here are a few terms you
may hear during lease negotiations:
Capitalized cost: Cost of the vehicle
today.
Lease term: Length of the lease, usually
expressed in months.
Residual value: Vehicles expected
value at the end of the lease.
Depreciation: The difference between
the capitalized cost and residual value.
Lease factor, or money factor: Cost of
leasing, or interest – usually expressed
as a very small number such as .003.
Multiply this number by 2,400 to get your
interest rate. In this example, thats 7
percent. As a note, interest rates on leases

tend to be higher than those on auto loans.
If you want to ace your lease negotiation, you should study the vocab and have
A+ credit, too. You may not get the best
deal if youre unsure about your credit
score, leasing terminology or the calculations mentioned above.
Mind your miles.
Depending on how often you get behind
the wheel and how far you go, you could
be forced to make some lifestyle changes if
you lease. Most leases cap mileage somewhere between 10,000 and 15,000 miles per
year, or a total of 30,000 to 45,000 miles.
Driving over this limit could cost you up
to 25 cents per mile.
If you drive 30 miles round-trip for
your commute, youre traveling 150 miles
over a five-day workweek. Thats nearly
8,000 miles just driving to work each year 24,000 miles over the course of your lease.
Depending on your limit, that doesnt
leave much wiggle room for things like
road trips, traveling to sporting events,
chauffeuring the kids to extracurriculars
or even grabbing a bite to eat downtown.
Those things could be taken off the table if
you lease. If the freedom of driving whenever, wherever is something you enjoy, a
lease may not be the best option.
The choice is yours.
Leasing might be for you if you want to
drive a new car every three to five years,
can drive within the limits and maintain
good credit. On the other hand, todays
cars can easily last 10 years if maintained
well, and once fully paid for, allow you to
sock away monthly payments for other
things. There are sites that offer side-byside comparisons of buying and leasing
to help you make the right choice. In the
end, its up to you. Armed with the details
on the real deal of leasing and your buying
options, youre on the road to making the
right choice.

Must-do tips to get your vehicle ready for spring
(BPT) – With the sun out and shining for
spring, drivers are getting themselves
and their cars ready for more outdoor
activity. Before setting off on that next
adventure, drivers should check the
health and maintenance of their vehicle,
as April marks the start of National Car
Care Month. In light of the awareness
month, Hankook checked in with drivers
across America to see how they maintain their vehicles, uncovering trends on
general upkeep around tire replacement,
vehicle mishaps and roadside emergencies.
Sounds and smells mean service
If you are driving a car that clunks
or a ride that rattles, its likely an indication of some much-needed service.
According to the latest Hankook Tire
Gauge Index, over two-thirds (70 percent)
of Americans will immediately schedule
a trip to the repair shop after hearing
irregular sounds from their vehicle and
59 percent of drivers will take their car
in if they smell something funky. While
your senses can certainly help indicate
when its time for a visit to the mechanic,
its important to consider the date since
your last visit to the shop, which less
than half (46 percent) of Americans do.
Remember to check the little things like
air filters or that your air conditioning
system works now as pollen starts to dust
the roads and temperatures climb.
While you might be able to hear or
smell the problems within your vehicle,
how do you know when to change your
tire? A majority of Americans (65 percent) trade in for a new set of tires when
the tread looks worn down. However,
only 8 percent adhere to the mileage
rating of the tire to help make more
accurate decisions on when its time to
replace their tires. Major tire manufacturers will list the tread life/mileage on
their website, but you can also use the
Tire Tread Indicator on the bottom of the
tires grooves to ensure the tread depth is
sufficient for optimum safety and performance.
Trouble on the road
While drivers can make sure their
cars are in tip-top shape, the condition of
roads and highways can be another issue.
Nine in 10 Americans
believe the infrastructure or condition of roads
and highways is a current issue for drivers.
This sentiment might
stem from the fact onethird of drivers have
had their vehicle or tires
damaged from a pothole,
and more than a quarter of drivers have had
a flat tire as a result of
a pothole. Not only can
potholes be a hazard, but
Hankook found that over
a quarter (26 percent) of
drivers dont know how
to change a tire, including nearly half (43 percent) of all women.
Spare me the details
In case you do find
yourself on the side of the
road with a flat tire, its
important to regularly
check the health of your
spare tire. By design,
spares are often just a
temporary solution to
get to a mechanic, as performance and safety are
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 4-18-2017 / Brandpoint Content

all diameter compared to
a standard tire. In addition, a spare is also not nearly as durable
by comparison, making any road hazard
more dangerous.
However, the Hankook Gauge found
that 34 percent of Americans will drive
straight to the mechanic with a spare
tire, but almost one-quarter (22 percent)
of Americans will drive over 50 miles on
a spare. If you are a driver with wornLawnmower Tires ATV Tires Tiller Tires Golf Cart Tires

5 spring cleaning projects
(BPT) – Spring cleaning is a seasonal tradition.
Youve been setting house projects aside all
winter, and nows the perfect time to make sure
the warm weather season starts with a cleaner,
happier home. So open the windows, turn on
your favorite song, and start your spring cleaning with these five to-dos.
* Clear the clutter. Removing excess clutter is
a great cleaning tip any time of year, but finishing this task when the weather was colder may
not have been as tempting. Tackle your home
room by room and analyze the items you find. If
you havent used something in a year or more,
its time for it to go.
* Freshen up the floors. After a season of
tracking dirt, snow and mud, your floors could
use some attention. If the damage is minor, a
thorough vacuuming will do the trick. If the
wear and tear is more significant, you may need
a more comprehensive solution. If you have carpet, renting a carpet cleaner allows you to tackle
the job yourself, saving you money over hiring
a professional or purchasing your own machine.
And if you have hardwood or tile floors, rent
a floor buffer. Its the easiest way to give your
floors back their shine in no time.
* Pretty it up with paint. The windows are
open and a gentle breeze is moving air through
your home. This is the right time to cross that
painting project off your to-do list. Small painting projects can be handled with a single can and
a brush, but for your larger painting endeavors,
rent a paint sprayer. Its the best way to get an
even, professional coat in a short amount of time
so youre finished before the breeze dies down.
* Better the baseboards. Baseboards provide
a stylish accent to any room in your home, but
when theyre dirty, they stand out for all the
wrong reasons. To clean them, start by vacuuming your baseboards and scrubbing each with a
mixture of dish soap and warm water. Dry each
with a towel before wiping them with a dryer
sheet. This last step will help repel dust from
landing on your baseboards. Plus, itll give your
home a fresh scent.
* Vet the vents. One of the joys of warmer
weather is the increase in fresh air that flows
through your home – as long as that air is clean.
To improve the air quality in your home immediately, clean the vents. Dirt, hair, pollen and
other debris collect there, so vacuum the vents
out to remove particles from your air for good.
Rent a wearable vacuum and youll make your

How to get the best-looking lawn for your time and money
(BPT) – If grubs overtake your lawn
this spring, will you know how to get rid
of them? Do you have the time and skill
to effectively patch those ugly bare spots
that developed over the winter? A lush
lawn and beautiful landscape are on virtually every homeowners wish list, but
a lack of time and knowledge commonly
keep people from effectively caring for
their own lawns.
Americans spend an average of just 20
minutes a day on lawn care, according to
the American Time Use Survey. Whats
more, many homeowners dont know how
to properly care for their lawn and landscape, a Harris Poll reveals. Conducted
on behalf of the National Association of
Landscape Professionals (NALP), the survey found that while nearly seven in
10 Americans said their lawn could be
better, nearly one in three didnt know
how often to water their lawns and nearly
a third admitted to not knowing how to
grow a healthy lawn.
A healthy lawn isnt just for cosmetic
appeal, says Missy Henriksen, vice president of public affairs for NALP. Properly
maintained lawns can not only elevate
home value but also reduce exposure to
weed-induced allergies and help purify
the air in communities.
Of the 94 percent of people with landscaping around their homes, 44 percent
hired professionals to help over the past
year. Working with lawn care professionals can help ensure your lawn remains
healthy and attractive all year round.
NALP offers some advice for getting
the most for your money when you work
with a lawn care professional:
* Put some thought and research
into the hiring process. Look for lawn
care companies that are members of an
industry association, and ask friends and
neighbors for recommendations. When
youre interviewing companies, find out
how long theyve been in business and
the experience level of staff. If you live
in a state that requires lawn care professionals to be licensed, make sure the one
youre considering has a valid license.
Ask for a written, detailed contract that
specifies what work the company will be
doing in your yard.
* Talk with your lawn care professional
about your long-term vision for your yard
so you can develop a master plan together.
For example, if you envision large planting beds in front of your house or a shade
garden in the backyard, they can help suggest how to progress in phases that will fit
your budget.
* Be clear about your budget and expectations before hiring a lawn care professional. Will you want the company to
aerate and seed the grass? Manage weeds
and troubleshoot problem areas? Your
lawn care professional can work with you
to include specific tasks in a contract that
sets expectations for both parties.
* Be open to your lawn care professionals suggestion about types of grass
seed for your landscape. Often, professionals prefer working with grasses and
plants that are native to your region since
theyre most likely to thrive in your landscape.
* Follow your lawn care professionals guidance for watering and any other
lawn care tasks that youll be handling
yourself. Ideally, your DIY efforts should
complement the work your professional
is doing, rather than undermine it. For
example, if your lawn care professional
seeds your lawn to fill in some bare spots,
follow his or her instructions for watering the seed to ensure the best possible
results.

Recycle what? 5 tips for recycling bathroom products
(BPT) – Most of us are used to recycling
at home, but specifically in the bathroom?
Not so much. However, your bathroom is
home to a number of recyclable products,
from shampoo and mouthwash bottles to
bandage and tissue boxes. With families
as busy as they are, its no wonder bathroom recycling is far from top of mind. A
recent survey done on behalf of Johnson
& Johnson Consumer Inc. found 60 percent of moms wish they remembered to
recycle more.
The more you know about whats recyclable, the easier it is to incorporate it
into your daily routine. So, this Earth Day
– and every day – care for the planet the
way you care for your family by following
these five simple and creative ways to
recycle and reuse your empty bathroom
products.
1. Get a bathroom recycling bin.
Sixty percent of moms report they
would be more likely to recycle bathroom
products if they had a recycling bin in the
room. Starting April 9, head to CVS.com/
caretorecycle to learn how to get a bathroom recycling bin with qualifying purchase from Care To Recycle, a program of
Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc. that
provides fun tips and tools to increase
recycling of personal care products. With
a handy bin nearby, youll never have to
think twice about recycling in the bathroom.
2. Make your own recycling bin.
A majority of moms (75 percent) believe
that showing their kids how to place recyclable products in the appropriate bin
is a teachable moment – and theres no
reason why teachable moments cant be
dcor-friendly! There are plenty of quick
and easy DIY hacks, from using a wicker
basket to decorating a plain trash bin with
wrapping paper that matches your taste.
3. Involve your kids.
Seventy-four percent of moms agree
that involving their kids in their to-do
lists helps them get more done, and 61

percent would be more likely to recycle
if their kids helped out. You can start by
creating a recycling chart that rewards
kids with fun, earth-friendly prizes like
camping or picnics when they remember
to recycle in the bathroom.
4. Get crafty.
For items that cant be recycled,
instead of tossing them, why not remake
them into something special? The Care
To Recycle Pinterest page has fun and
beautiful upcycling projects, like creating
luminaries out of moisturizer jars, vases
out of makeup remover bottles, and much
more!
5. Create friendly reminders.
Two out of three moms admit to taking on too much during the day, and 80
percent report that forgetting tasks is a
normal part of being a busy parent. Try
leaving a framed note on your bathroom
counter, or task your kids with creating
a creative poem to help remind you (and
your family and guests) to recycle every
day!
By following these five simple steps,
youll be well on your way to making bathroom recycling part of your familys daily
routine – and helping to raise the next generation of recyclers. Whether its Earth
Day or any day, programs like Care To
Recycle can offer inspiration for fun, creative ways for the entire family to reuse
or recycle your bathroom products. Visit

10 SPRING EDITION
Special to The Anderson County Review – April 18, 2017
Spring home improvements you can do in 24 hours or less
(BPT) – For most of us, the idea of spring
cleaning probably sounds refreshing after a
winter of bundling up against the cold. Now
that spring has arrived, its finally time to
get started! Sprucing up your home doesnt
have to take lots of time, and is a great way
to leave you feeling reinvigorated after a long
winter.
To help you spring into warm weather
home improvement, here are 24 simple projects that take 24 hours or less to accomplish:
Put a fresh coat of paint on the front door.
Standard paints can take a long time to dry,
especially if you live in a humid climate.
Update kitchen cabinets. Recently, homeowners are changing the facades of their
kitchen cabinets and painting them instead
of staining them-a trend that has grown
tremendously. Add new knobs to complete
the look for an easy, inexpensive way to give
your cabinets a facelift.
Swap pillows and throws. You cant
change your couch every time the season
changes, but switching out pillows and
throws is a great way to give seasonal flare
to your living room decor.
Create a statement wall. Installing graphic wallpaper or wood planking on one wall,
or simply painting one wall or the ceiling
a contrasting color, can add drama to any
room in the house.
Spruce up the deck for summer enjoyment. A refinished deck looks great, and
doesnt have to be a lot of work.
Add wow factor to your entryway. Large
planters with hardy, bright blooms add curb
appeal when positioned on either side of the
front door.
Update your lighting. Modern light
fixtures in kitchens and bathrooms shed
a whole new light and look on the room.
Consider installing a dimmer so you can
create the right mood, any time of the day.
While youre upgrading lighting, be sure to
replace old-style incandescent bulbs with
energy-efficient ones that will last longer and
cost less to operate.
Create a gallery wall. Hang multiple family photos and/or chic prints in varying
frame styles and sizes on one wall of the
living room.
Rearrange your furniture. Talk about a
no-cost way to get a totally different look.
Experiment with different furniture configurations, and dont be afraid to move pieces
from room to room.
Create a recharging drawer in your kitchen. Clean out that junk drawer, add dividers
and a power strip and you have the perfect
place for recharging your familys electronic
devices.
Install a ceiling fan. Nothing says spring
and summer like a ceiling fan wafting gentle breeze through a room. Choose the style
and size thats right for your space. Bonus:
ceiling fans can help reduce energy bills by
cheaply supplementing air-conditioning and
heating.
Organize your mudroom. Whether its a
formal mudroom or a corner of the entryway, every house has a spot where shoes,
backpacks and other personal items collect.
Organize that area with hooks for hanging
and cubbies or shoe racks for storage.
Add a display shelf above a doorway. A
wooden shelf above a doorway is a great
place to feature collectibles.
Add vintage class to a powder room.
Replace the ordinary doorknob on your powder room door with a vintage or replica glass
knob.
Install decorative house numbers. You
can purchase decorative tile or glass numerals from a variety of sources.
Stencil some fun. Add animal or character
stencils to the walls of a childs room, staircase or kitchen, or patio table for a quick,
artsy take.
Add a ceiling medallion. Draw attention
to a light fixture by installing a decorative
ceiling medallion that has a slightly different
color than the ceiling.
Replace a kitchen faucet. A new kitchen
faucet can be practical and decorative, but
can also control water flow, saving money.
Pressure wash siding and walkways.
Power washing exterior home areas makes
siding and walkways look fresh.
Hang a new mirror in the bathroom. A
decorative framed mirror in place of a standard bathroom mirror adds interest, elegance and even light to the space.
Put a decorative decal in the laundry
room. Create some fun in the laundry area by
adding a decal with a humorous saying, such
as Life is too short to fold fitted sheets!
Upgrade bathroom towel storage. Replace
those builder-issue towel bars and rings with
decorative options that add pizzazz.
Make your own art with a shower curtain.
Love large-scale artwork but have a smaller
scale budget? Use wood to frame a decorative
shower curtain and turn it into wall art.
Wash windows! Whats the one spring DIY
task that will make all the others in your
home look even better? Wash windows to
allow spring and summer sunlight into your
home.
Trying just a few of these easy home-improvement tasks is a fast way to perk up your
home for spring and summer.
