Commissioner Preston Peine
asked city staff why they wanted to raise zoning fees at a time
when the city was struggling
to attract new businesses and
encouraging people to move to
Garnett.
Were going to make it more
difficult for people to improve
their properties, Peine said.
It seems like an unnecessary
increase when were not hurting for money.

Waring retires from city after 32 years
Despite changes, the
relationships he built
were biggest benefit
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT- When Herb Waring
first started working for the
City of Garnett 32 years ago,
the Cedar Valley Reservoir had
not yet been built. Neither had
the baseball and softball complex, nor the recreation center.
Much has changed in the
citys parks and recreation
department since then, Waring
said. But even with those chang-
es, some things have remained
constant.
When I think back, Ive been
fortunate to work with fine people and developed friendships
over time, he said.
Some of his fondest memories come from the one aspect
of his job that seemed the
most demanding maintaining
and supervising the Garnett
Swimming Pool. As much as
the work consumed his summers, Waring said he appreciates being able to witness history at the swimming pool. Some
of the kids who once worked as
lifeguards are now all grown up
and he sees them now, bringing
their children to the pool.
The advent of computers
and cell phones have had as
much an impact on Warings
job as the many changes in
recreational offerings, he said.
Equipment upgrades made an
even bigger difference, especially when it comes to chores
like cemetery maintenance.
Warings duties have evolved
over the years as well. In addition to overseeing the parks
and recreation department as
well as the zoning department,
Waring also oversaw the cemetery. With that came great
responsibility, including setting
up the traditional Avenue of
Flags for Memorial Day.
Over the years, the job has
brought its share of challenges.
The housing boom in the late
1990s and early 2000s brought
busy years on the building and
zoning front, but that slowed
when the
housing market
crashed in 2008.
And if the economy didnt
dictate his job, the weather did.
Waring remembers drought
years in the early 1980s that
brought about the construction
of the reservoir, adding recreational opportunities as well as

that will be made south of Garnett on
Highway 169. They will be closing the
road and re-routing traffic from the five
mile junction to Welda to add shoulders
and cut out hills. They are not able to
close the road from the round-a-bout to
the five mile junction as there is no road
available to re-route traffic. The job will
let in 2017 or 2018 so it will still be awhile
before anything is done. He mentioned
that 1100 Road past the rock quarry has
two bridges on it that could be eliminated

did not feel that would be feasible.

with the commission. She would like
to compensate Bob Stegner, who is
a part time dispatcher, for IT work in
dispatch. She would like to give him
$150.00 per month for this work. It was
questioned if we have Advantage taking
care of the IT at the Law Enforcement
Center why we would need another IT
at dispatch. Discussion was held on
compensating him for January, February,
and March. Commission felt that beyond
that they need to see where we are
with Advantage and how much Bob is
actually doing. Commissioner Johnson
moved for the sheriff and head dispatcher to get together with Advantage to see
where we are and where we need to go.

PERMITS…
FROM PAGE 1A
officer Andy Frye said the current rates do not cover the citys
expenses. Some projects require
a significant amount of time on
Fryes part to make sure the
homeowner is compliant with
city codes, and the fees barely
cover the cost of gas to visit the
property, they said.
The new rate structure
actually will decrease fees in
some cases, city manager Joyce
Martin said. The rates establish
a new all-in-one fee for new
construction. Under the old
system, someone who wanted
to build a house would have to
obtain a building permit and
get separate permits for other
aspects like electrical, plumbing or mechanical. Under the
old system, the total cost of
those permits actually would
be higher than the new all-inone permit fee.
Peine said the new fee, which
could be about $200 for a new
house, isnt a large amount for
new construction. His concerns
focused primarily on if someone wanted to improve existing
structures, such as building a
garage or a porch or fence. The
cost of a permit for a fence,
for example, jumped from $10
to $25. Peine questioned if
the citys expense for such a
structure justified a substantial
increase.
Commissioner Greg Gwin
said he is building a porch and
believed the fee he paid barely will cover the cost of fuel
for Frye to complete the final
inspection, let alone pay for the
time city staff spend reviewing
plans before a permit is issued.
The intent of building and zoning fees is to make sure safe
structures are built, Gwin said.
Solander said the motivating
factor behind the rate change
actually is to target large projects. He reminded commissioners that several large projects
have been constructed in the
city in recent years, such as
a new jail and new elementary school, and voters are set
to consider a new hospital in
todays election. Large projects could require significantly
more time and effort to make
sure all aspects meet city codes,
he said. The new rate structure
will allow the city to seek additional help with large projects,
at the builders expense.

The big issue for voters will
be whether to approve a new
hospital facility and long term
care unit for more than $25 million. Supporters say the new
facility is needed to replace an
outdated 1949 building that no
longer meets hospital building
codes and needs significant
structural updates in all areas
plumbing, electrical, heating
and cooling, and roofing. St.
Lukes Health System, which
leases the building from the
county and manages its operations, has agreed to increase
its annual lease payments to $1
million for at least 10 years to
help finance the building, with
lease extensions to cover the 30year period of the bonds.
Opponents, however, claim
the county should investigate
less expensive options to keep
the hospital going without
increasing the debt for county
taxpayers for such a long term.
But nearly as energetic as
their opposition to the issue has
been some opponents efforts to
hide their identities. Postcards
opposing the bond issue, printed
by a Shawnee, Ks., printer and
which were illegal according to
the Kansas Ethics Commission
because they included no identifying tag line to denote who
paid for them, were mailed to
some area residents last week.
Robo calls originating from
an Ottawa telephone number,
also without paid for by information and in violation of state
campaign laws, were received
by locals on Friday. A website
opposing the effort was also
registered through a web registrar that does not release site
owners identities.
In addition to the hospital
question, voters in each of the
countys cities will elect leaders, and school boards will pick
members. In most cases, candi-

a city commissioner uses a personal Smartphone to conduct
city business, someone could
request access to his phone in
order to access those records.
City clerk Kristie Kinney
recently attended a workshop
on the topic for city clerks
across the state. The debate
over electronic records was a
primary focus of the meeting,
she said in a report to commissioners Tuesday, March 26,
and she vowed to research the
issue further. In addition to possible problems with access to
those records, the city must also
consider how to maintain and
archive them.
Kansas open records laws
require transparency in most
governmental activities. That
means most records kept by
governmental bodies are open
to review upon request. Some
records are mandatorily closed

such as child welfare and adoption records, and some criminal
investigation reports like unexecuted search warrants. Other

the value of prayer.

on the issue. Daryl Herde, pastor

Ministerial Alliance, said he
was excited about the possibility that commissioners would
begin meetings with prayer.
City staff researched the
issue and found several area cities that begin their meetings by
saying the Pledge of Allegiance
and offering a prayer. State legislators start their sessions with
prayer as well and schedule a
range of church leaders to do
their invocations.
Commissioners unanimously approved the prayer matter
after a short discussion, deciding that the Garnett Ministerial
Alliance will be tasked with
finding someone to lead the
prayers.

GUEST EDITORIAL
When I was going through BUD/S, the SEALs
famously tough basic-training program, many
of our instructors had never been to war. It
wasnt their fault. They were amazing guys,
phenomenal mentors and leaders. But in those
pre-9/11 days, the U.S. military hadnt fought a
real-deal war since Vietnam.
So when one
of the instructors said, This
is what you
do in a gunf ightwell,
it was hard
not to wonder,
respectfully:
Oh yeah? And how many gunfights have you
been in?
For SEALs coming up now, the answer is,
More than you can possibly imagine. By this
point, the entire U.S. military has learned the
lessons of war.
I have been thinking about that important
fact as America notes the 10th anniversary of
the start of the war in Iraq. The pundits can
argue all they want to about the reasons we
went there. The critics can add up all the costs
we paidbig ones, in blood and in treasure. But
wherever you stand on this war and the one in
Afghanistan, this much is undeniable: All that
intense and prolonged combat experience has
made us far better warriors than weve ever
been before. A decade after American troops
stormed into Baghdad, the U.S. military is a
battle-tested, forward-thinking, phenomenally
sharp fighting force, truly ready for whatever
threats come our way next.
Thats one of the hidden benefits of the war
in Iraq: We are even better now.
I led 200 SEAL-commando missions in the
western part of the country. I was there for some
of the wars bloodiest days. With my teammates
on SEAL Team 3, we helped to shift the momentum against a zealous and creative enemy.
When we arrived, Sunni fighters were careening around al-Anbar Province with the threepronged mortar launchers on the beds of little
Toyota pickups.
By the time we left, wed faced down the
insurgents in numerous roadside firefights, and
the Sunni awakening was in full swing. Many
of our fiercest enemies were collaborating with
us.
Building on all our intense SEAL training, we
became the warriors we are today. We learned
countless lessons in the heat of daily combat,
testing every one of them:
How to lure secretive insurgents into the
daylight.
How to apply swift and overwhelming force.
How to communicate with tribal leaders and
exploit local intel.
How to turn yesterdays enemies into tomorrows friends. How to up-armor our Humvees so
we wouldnt be so vulnerable.
How to navigate around IEDs, RPGs and the
other weapons of insurgency.
How to pick the right targets and avoid the
wrong ones. How to get inside a fortified building in a few quick seconds and get all our guys
out alive.
How to put old rivalries behind us and coordinate effectively with Army, Navy, Air Force
and Marine units.
How to improve the skills of poorly trained
local troops. How to confront our mistakes honestly and correct them.
The lessons go on and on. We learned them
because we wanted to and because we had to. All
of us did.
Im not just talking about special operators
like the Navy SEALs, Army Special Forces and
Rangers. Regular infantry units are now conducting missions that a decade ago only highly
elite units were capable of. Now, the SEALs are
exploring new frontiers for our special skills.
We arent done yet.
Does anyone believe the world of terror has
changed so much that we wont face new enemies again? No way.
From here forward, we will keep facing them.
Our threats are like hydras now with many
heads. We have to be ready for all of them.
Im not saying we werent ready before.
Clearly, we were. But now we have the talent
and depth that comes only from intense battlefield experience. We are boned up and ready for
damn near anything. Were like well trained athletes after the season has finally begun. Were
in game shape now. All of us have been on the
field.
When I got back from Iraq, I spent four years
running all phases of basic and advanced SEAL
training. After my time in Iraq, no one ever
doubted my battlefield credibility or that of the
other instructors. We had been to war. We had
seen a huge amount of action. We had learned
from our experiences there.
You know its kind of bad when someone steals your Neighborhood Watch
sign out of your yard. They must
have came with tools because they
unbolted it right off the poll. I think
thats kind of low.

The littlest perps
BY RICH LOWRY
NATIONAL REVIEW
The nations elementary schools are overrun by small-minded and unreasonable people, prone to hysterics, who cant distinguish
between make-believe and reality. They are
called school administrators.
In the wake of the Newtown,
Conn., massacre, they have
been punishing little children for making gunlike
gestures with their fingers
and other harmless horseplay. The people who run
our schools must have been
too busy brushing up on
their zero tolerance poliLowry
cies to notice that Newtown
was perpetrated with an AR15, not with a toy or with a finger. We expect 5year-olds to be childish. Whats the excuse for
the people running our schools?
Five-year-old Joseph Cruz brandished a gun
made out of Legos in his day-care program
while, in the words of the Barnstable Public
School District in Hyannis, Mass., simulating
the sound of gunfire. For a layman, thats
called saying pow. Cruz got a stiff warning
for using daycare toys inappropriately.
A 5-year-old girl was suspended from kindergarten at Mount Carmel Area Elementary
School in Northumberland County, Pa., after
threatening to shoot classmates with her
pink Hello Kitty gun that fires soapy bubbles.
A mandatory psychological evaluation found,
according to a news report, that the girl did
not represent any threat to others. Whew.
White Marsh Elementary in Maryland suspended two first-graders for playing cops and
robbers on the playground. In true 21st-century fashion, the school board said it was
forbidden from giving out more information
due to confidentially requirements under the
Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act
(FERPA).
An 8-year-old in Prince William County,
Va., was suspended for firing back with an
imaginary gun after a friend shot him with
an imaginary bow and arrow. Evidently, nothing happened to the other kid. This points to
a disturbing bow and arrow loophole that
could conceivably accommodate everything
from imaginary poison darts to make-believe
medieval siege weapons.
The Al Capone of the zero-tolerance offenders is the daring second-grader in Anne
Arundel County, Md., who chewed his strawberry breakfast pastry into the shape of a gun
and then brazenly pointed it at a classmate.
Park Elementary school suspended him for
two days.
Who defends this foolish lack of proportion? The American Association of School
Administrators. Its executive director, Dan
Domenech, told USA Today: Parents have to
be aware that talking about guns or using your
fingers to point like a gun is no longer tolerable
or prudent. Why, pray tell? School shooters
tend to be disturbed young men. In no case
has a shooter ever been an adorable 5-year-old
child.
In the grips of a strange mania, school
administrators believe that any symbolic representation of a gun, no matter how innocent,
is all but indistinguishable from a real gun.
This is not a mistake that gun owners make.
The fake-finger gun doesnt do much for the
average sportsman. It cant bring down a deer,
and doesnt exactly light up the gun range.
No matter. We dont have common sense; we
have rules. We dont have judgment; we have
bureaucratic procedure. Too often, our grownups are the ones desperately in need of adult
supervision.

Hi, I wanted to say I really enjoyed
the rec center managers article in
the paper this week about the operation of the citys rec center. I cant
remember when our city last had
such a great success story as this recreation center, and the use from local
residents, and yes, even city employees, proves that. I dont care if were
paying for those employees to use it.
If it saves some health insurance premiums down the road and helps us
hire and keep good employees what
dummy cant see where thats worth
a few dollars a month? I dont know
who it is thats always griping about it
in the Phone Forum, because I never
hear a single soul say anything but
good about it. Probably you just have
some beef against the whole city and
the rec center is just your pet peeve of
the week. This Phone Forum makes
one gripers gripe seem a lot bigger
than it really is, and judging from the
crowds there you must be the only
one in town who doesnt like it. You
probably are so miserable you just sit
at home by yourself all day thinking
of things to complain about. If youd
get off your duff and get out and get
some exercise, maybe even go down
to the rec center which you hate so
much, you might find yourself in a
little better humor. Thank you.
You know its not all about you. Why
dont you grow up? Where do you
copy your words from? Why dont you
join the real world?
About Howard Purcells article in the
paper, I dont care if theres 55, 95 or
20 employees for the city they are still
using my tax money to go out there.
Remember, we werent going to use
any tax money for that rec center now
here we are paying for these people to
use the rec center when I cant even
afford to go out there myself.
Prayer at Garnett City Commission
meetings? Absolutely. We need all the
help we can get.
If a citizen suggested to start the
city commission meeting with the
flag salute and a prayer, why would
the elected commissioners question
the concern of the public? Are you
all afflicted with degeneration of the
spine? Thank you.
A few years ago it was suggested to
the city that they needed to fix the
cracks in the rail trail. They didnt
do it.
I was wondering why a part-time
county attorney, or even a full-time
county attorney would need a $10,000
desk. Does he have the same desk at
his other office? Does he get to take
this desk with him when he is not reelected? I cannot believe the county
commissioners approved this. The
next thing you know we will need a
new courthouse to put this desk in.
In regard to the commenter who wonders if we have athiests in this here
small town. Yes, you do have athiests
in this town, probably more than you
realize. I dont believe in God. I also
dont have a problem with the city

LOCAL
Senate tackles several important issues
BY CARYN TYSON
KANSAS SENATE
The Senate made progress
the past week as it tackled a
number of important issues
for the 2013 legislative session.
Friday was the deadline for
all bills to be considered and
passed by a majority of committees.
Currently, large corporations are allowed to have agriculture operations in Kansas
after approved at the county
level.
SB 191 would have
removed the local control and
would have repealed corporate
family farming laws in the state
to allow more Concentrated
Animal Feeding Operations
(CAFOs), large hog and dairy
operations with thousands
of head. I offered an amendment to SB191 to keep the local
option. Instead of voting on the
amendment or the bill, the committee chair decided to put the
bill on hold for further study.
The Senate debated its pro-
posed budget which has an ending balance of $492 million in
FY 2014 and $3777.7 million in
FY 2015. The budget submitted
by Govern Brownback had an
ending balance of $533.9 million
and the Senate budget includes
an additional $48.7 million in
savings over two years. The
budget includes the Governors
recommendation to hold K-12
education at current funding
levels.
The Senate passed HB 2078
to allow military personnel to
use training received in the
military to serve as the educational requirements needed
for state licensing for medical
or other professional licenses.
This bill would not require
state regulatory agencies to
issue licenses. Instead, it would
allow the military education to
be substituted for civilian training and the board would have
final decision as to whether an
individual meets the necessary
requirements for a healthcare
related license.
The Senate passed HB 2025
which establishes the Robert G.
(Bob) Bethell, Joint Committee
on Home and Community
Based Services and KanCare
Oversight.
Representative
Bethell died last year in a car
accident a few hours after running a similar bill on the House
floor. If passed, the committee would consist of eleven
members from the legislature
and would be required to meet
at least three times when the
legislature is in session and at
least once during each of the
second, third, and fourth calendar quarters. This committee
would provide oversight of the
administration of KanCare by
those accountable to the people,
elected members of the legislature.
According to HB 2025, state
agencies would be required to
provide to the committee data
and information on KanCare
programs, including pay for
performance measures, quality
measures and enrollment and
disenrollment in specific plans,
KanCare provider network
dates, and appeals and grievances made to the KanCare
ombudsman. The committee would then be required to
submit its own report to the
President of the Senate, the
Speaker of the House, the
House Committee on Health
and Human Services, and the
Senate Committee on Public
Health and Welfare. It would
also be able to introduce legislation as deemed necessary in
performing its functions.

Consumer Corner:
Use caution with
online auctions
BY DEREK SCHMIDT
KANSAS ATTORNEY GENERAL
Online auction sites have
become popular in recent years
as a way to connect buyers and
sellers from across the country
and around the world. These
sites can be great places to find
unique items or to help us sell
things we find collecting dust
in our garages during spring
cleaning.
Unfortunately, these sites
can also be used by scammers
offering items for sale that
dont exist. Our office recently
stopped a series of fraudulent
online auction transactions
that would have totaled nearly
$1 million. Kansas consumers
file complaints with our office
about these frauds every day.
By following the tips below, you
can assist our office in identifying scams and protect yourself
from fraudulent transactions.
Carefully study the item
listing. Make sure the item listing contains a full and complete
description of the item, its condition and photos of the actual
item, not just generic stock
photos. Beware if the descriptions and photos are identical to
those used by another seller.
Read the sellers reviews.
Check the seller reviews from
previous buyers. Be cautions of
sellers with little or no history.
If the seller is from a foreign
country, be especially cautious
at a minimum, be sure that
they have feedback from U.S.
buyers.
Contact the seller. Ask
additional questions about the
item, and find out more about
the seller. Ask for their physical location. If you dont get
a response or dont like the
answers you get, dont bid on
the item.
Figure out the total cost of
the item. While online auctions can often be places to find
good deals, beware of deals that
just seem too good to be true. Be
especially wary of listings that
have only been up a short time
or offer very low-priced Buy
Now options. Make sure you
take into account the shipping
and handling charges you may
end up paying more in shipping
than the cost of the item itself.
Check out the sellers return
policy. Find out if the seller
will allow you to return the item
if it arrives damaged or you are
not satisfied and if there are
any charges for doing so.
Use a secure payment method. Perhaps the biggest red
flag for a fraudulent auction is
one that asks you to pay offsite, especially if they ask for a
wire transfer. Also be cautious
of transactions asking you to
pay in a foreign currency. The
safest way to pay for online auction transactions is through a
reputable auction companys
online payment system. This
allows you to dispute the charges through the online auction
site if the item does not arrive
as described. In addition, your
credit card company may offer
additional protections against
fraudulent charges.
Keep your documentation.
Save all emails related to the
transaction, including correspondence with the seller and
receipts. Its also a good idea
to save a copy of the original
listing so you have proof if the
item does not arrive exactly as
described.
If you wish to file a complaint
about an online transaction or
any other scams please contact
our office at 1-800-432-2310 or
online at www.ag.ks.gov.

Brownback signs judicial reform legislation
TOPEKA – Kansas Governor
Sam Brownback signed House
Bill 2019 into law Wednesday
during a signing ceremony at
the Kansas Capitol. The new
law reforms how judges for the
Kansas Court of Appeals are
appointed.
The guiding principle of
our American democracy must
be that every citizen stands
equal before the law, with an
equal voice in this long running
American experiment in selfgovernment, Gov. Brownback
said. Kansans expect and are
entitled to a government that
is not beholden to any special
interest group. Unfortunately
in Kansas, our current system
of selecting our appellate judges fails the democracy test.
Brownback
continued,
Rather than providing an
equal voice to all Kansans in
the selection of our Appeals and
Supreme Court judges, Kansas
is the only state in the union
that allows a special interest
group to control the process
of choosing who will be judges
for the rest of us.
Currently, Appeals Court
judges are nominated by the
Supreme Court Nominating
Commission which is made
five members elected by the
Kansas Bar, and four members
appointed by the governor.
HB 2019 allows the governor to appoint a qualified person to fill any vacancy of the
Appeals Court who is subject to
approval by the Kansas Senate.
Known as the federal process,
this procedure is similar to how
justices for the United States
Supreme Court are appointed.
This is not about controlling judges. Judicial independence is vital and necessary for
fair and just rulings from our
courts. But judicial independence must rest firmly on the
consent of the people. Public
confidence is the best and only
hedge around the independent
judgments of our courts,
Brownback said. I want to
thank the Kansas Legislature
for taking this important step
towards reforming our system of judicial selection and
restoring public confidence in
our judiciary. We must give
all Kansans an equal voice,
whether directly or indirectly
through elected representatives, in choosing our judicial
leaders.
This is the first bill signed
into law by the Governor during
the 2013 Legislative Session.

Going Against The Grain
Cyclist rides

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 04-02-2013 / Vickie Moss
Garnett volunteer firefighter Dane Byerley, center, is buried in grain at Beachner Grain, Garnett, for a training exercise. The
University of Kansas provided a grain engulfment training vehicle to simulate on-the-farm accidents, and taught rescue techniques to firefighters from Anderson and Franklin counties. Anderson County Emergency Management Director Marvin Grimes
said the KU program is new, and its the first training of its kind to be offered in Anderson County.
BUSINESS BEAT
Cyclist Brett McMullin is riding his bicycle across the state of
Kansas as part of his personal
Destination: Inspire campaign for Hematology/Oncology
research at Childrens Mercy.
He will arrive in Garnett on
Saturday, April 6, and leave for
Ottawa on Sunday, April 7.
The fundraising ride will
begin at the Colorado border
on Sunday, March 31 and finish
with a celebration at Childrens
Mercy Hospital on Monday,
April 8.
Brett was born with a club
foot, no fibula in his right leg, a
heart murmur and a sixth vertebra in his spine. He now has
a rod in the femur of his left
leg with screws in his knee and
hip. His feet are two different
sizes: an 11 and a 5. And, his legs
are also different lengths of an
inch.
As a child, the doctors told his
parents that his club foot was so
severe it needed to be removed.
His parents did not agree at
the time and sought out other
options. During his childhood,
his father, an influential person
in his life, encouraged Brett to
overcome the odds, telling him,
Its not what you have. Its what
you do with what you have.
Thus, Brett challenged himself to overcome his condition,
doing basketball, football, track,
wrestling and – his favorite
hobby – cycling. He had additional surgeries and challenges,
but continued to push himself to
ride faster and farther than anyone. For Brett, riding his bike
across the state of Kansas is a
testament that we all can do
whatever it is we put our mind
to do.

Girl in Translation by Jean
Kwok will be discussed. The
discussion will be led by Jane
Feuerborn. Please take note of
the time change, we are back on
our evening schedule.
Girl in Translation is an
inspiring debut about a young
immigrant in America. When
eleven-year-old Kimberly Chang
and her mother emigrate from
Hong Kong to America, they
speak little English and own
nothing but debt. They arrive
in New York hopeful for a better
life, but find instead a squalid
Brooklyn apartment lacking
heat and real furniture, and a
life of backbreaking labor in a
Chinatown sweatshop. Unable
to accept this as her future,
Kim decides to use her talent
for school to earn a place for
herself and her mother in their
adopted country. She embarks
on a double life: an exceptional
student by day, and a sweatshop
worker by evening and weekend.
The books are available for
checkout at the library. The
discussions are held the fourth
Wednesday of each month at 7
p.m. in the Archer Room at the

Bullets history dates to Civil War
On the evening of 18 March
2013, I had the opportunity
to attend the meeting of the
Richmond Historical Museum
Board. Dorothy Kipper Lickteig
was the guest speaker for the
evening and as always did a
wonderful job. Her talk was
about her life, from infancy,
until present day and time.
Very, very interesting.
After the meeting was over,
a gentleman from Linwood, KS
(Myron Feuerborn) approached
me and said he was a weekly
reader of my column and that
he had something he wanted
to give me, that he had found.
It was a very old, un-fired
(dropped) bullet that was dug
up on one of two lots he owned
in Lawrence.
I have researched and
found this bullet to be a very
early Henry Bullet. A few
facts about this bullet and the
Henry Rifle are: It is a brass
shell casing 2 1/2 inches long, a
lead projectile 1/2 inches long,
over-all length 3 inches. It has
the number 17 stamped on the
head, standing for 17 grains.
The Henry cartridge was
designed for the lever-action,
repeating 1860 Henry rifle
by Henry Roeckers
Contact (785) 448-6244
for local archeology information.
designed by Benjamin Tyler
Henry in the late 1850s. The
Henry rifle was an improved
version of the earlier Volcanic
Repeating rifle. One heavily
engraved Henry rifle was given
to President Abraham Lincoln
to help procure a government contract, but the Union
forces only bought 1,731 rifles,
although many Union soldiers
bought their own to use in the
war.
By the time production
ended in 1866, after the Civil
War, approximately 14,000
units had been manufactured.
The Henry rifle was the
forerunner of the Winchester
Model 1866 lever-action, as
after the Civil War, Oliver
Winchester bought the failed
Henry Company and improved
the rifle to make the famous
Winchester Model 1866,
which also used the Henry
cartridges.
The Sioux and Cheyenne
had Henry rifles when Lt. Col.
George Custers men only had
single shot Springfield rifles,
which is one of the reasons
why they call it the massacre
at Little Big Horn.
Henry cartridges were available in pointed and flat projectiles and in short, regular and
long case versions.
Now, for the mystery part
of the bullet.
How did it get in Myrons
yard in Lawrence, KS? Who
dropped it and why?
Was it lost by one of the
local residents or by one of
Quantrills Raiders during the
Lawrence Massacre on the
sleeping town, in the predawn
hours of August 21, 1863, when
some 200 men were killed in
one of the most vicious attacks
of the American Civil War.
Sure makes for an interesting story, doesnt it? Thank
you, Myron Feuerborn, for
such a wonderful artifact from
early Kansas history.

was, whether the names should

County
Commissioners said Monday
they had no immediate plans
to press forward with construction of a new 60-plus bed jail
in Anderson County because of
uncertainty in the county and
states financial situation. The
jail issue was tabled with little
additional mention after commissioners heard from a financial consultant in February
who outlined the formation of
a public building commission,
which basically would allow the
issuance of bonds for the construction without being subject
to a vote in the county. Local
voters turned down a jail referendum last November by nearly
2-1, which would have built a $5.2
million jail with enough beds to
rent extra space to other counties.

Zig Zag Sewing Club members learn history
Pinneo 50th anniversary
Zig Zag Sewing Club held
its monthly luncheon meeting
March 13 at the home of Betty
Kaufman in Paola. Tables were
decorated with St. Patricks Day
accents. Thirteen members and
three guests attended.
Guests were Evelyn Bell
and Sara Gamblin of Paola,
and Janet Dietrich of Garnett.
Janet was later welcomed as a
new member.
President Grace Donham
chaired the meeting. She read
historical information about
Zig Zag Club that Berneice
Peterson found in an old book
of Greeley history. It states that
Zig Zag Club was formed in
1952, with a purpose of helping members learn to use their
zig zag sewing machines. Early
members numbered about 50,
with an average attendance of
25. Members were from Paola,
Lane, Richmond, Garnett,
Ottawa, Pomona, Rantoul and
Greeley.
Evelyn Gillogly distributed
brown bags from the Round
Robin project, which ended
today. There were smiles and
surprises as participants
opened their bag and displayed
the contents. Members got back

GENERAL NOTICE TO CONTROL NOXIOUS
WEEDS
The Kansas Noxious Weed Law K.S.A.

Notice is hereby given pursuant to Kansas
Noxious Weed Law to every person who owns
or supervises land in Anderson County that noxious weeds growing or found on such land shall

average of 100 patients were
seen daily, seven days a week
from within a 60-mile radius of
Colony. In 1986 he expanded and
remodeled the building here to
become which was perhaps the
most modern rural medical
clinic in Kansas. He brought in
his stepson, Dr. Frank Porter,
to join him. He and Porter had
nine employees who worked in
a variety of support roles, from
nursing to clerking to business
functions. Among the updated
instruments that Osborn had
at hand in 1986 were a computerized electrocardiograph
machine and devices for exploring patients both orally and
rectally for cancer and other
maladies. Osborn also tested
patients eyes, fitted glasses,
treated eye disorders and to
make the clinic more complete
maintained a comprehensive
stock of drugs in a pharmacy.
Following Osborns death Porter
continued his practice here and
on Oct. 1, 2010 joined the Iola
Family Physicians Clinic. He
continued to see patients here,
in Iola and Moran. Dr. Eric
Wolfe joined him the following
year seeing patients here and
Iola. They are missed.

History Sketches
April 21, 1887-A cyclone started two miles west of Colony,
passing through (not over)
Colony, destroying property
and injuring citizens and livestock. It picked up two men and
carried them a height of about
ten feet and deposited them
gently upon the ground, not
hurt, but presumably scared.
Ozark Township was founded
May 19, 1859. A high elevation
of land known to old timers
as The Ozark Ridge formed
a divide between the Missouri
and the Arkansas Rivers.
August 23, 1912 there was
a big windstorm Tuesday
night with heavy electrical
display. Many buildings were
destroyed in Colony, also Bush
City. Twenty buildings were

When Jesus was calling
his disciples some of John the
Baptists disciples ask him;
Teacher where are you staying? Jesus replied Come
and you will see. We read
that they went and saw where
he was staying and spent the
day with him, however we
dont read any details of where
Jesus was staying.
We know that Jesus was
rejected in Nazareth his home
town. His public ministry
began there in the synagogue
in Nazareth when he took up
the scroll of the prophet Isaiah
and read concerning The
Year of the Lords Favor.
Isaiah 61:1-2. After his rejection in Nazareth he went down
to Capernaum another town
in Galilee. Jesus continued to
travel from one town and village to another, proclaiming
the good news of the kingdom
of God.
Jesus at one point said,
Foxes have holes and birds of
the air have nests but the Son
of Man has no place to lay his
head. It is ironic that the Son
of God would have no place to
lay his head at night. I believe
Jesus wanted to show the people of that day there was a
cost to following him. That
carries forward to our present

age. When you pillow your
head tonight and the cares of
the day either fade away or
close in around you consider
what your relationship is to
this Jesus of the Bible. Do
you understand who he was?
Someday Jesus will call for
those who are his. He will say
Come and see. John 1:39. To
others he will say I never
knew you Matthew 7:23.
In Revelation 21 we read of
a new heaven and a new earth
and that the dwelling place of
God is with man and he will
live with them. Jesus who had
no place to lay his head while
on this earth now resides in
the Holy City. Your and my
permanent residence will be
determined by what we do
with this Jesus of the Bible.
