Protestors tell Governor Kelly
Open up Kansas
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Local officials are
massing a special task force
to determine how to open
up Anderson County after
the expected expiration of
Governor Laura Kellys disaster order later this week.
Kellys order from late
March which all but shut down
public gatherings and closed or
drastically hamstrung many
businesses in the state will
expire May 1, with the end of
the governors stay-at-home
order set to expire this coming Sunday, May 3. The move
has come after some degree of
public pressure by the public
and business sector, a waning of new infections of the
virus and an overall impact on
the states healthcare system
which has been far less than
initially anticipated.
But state officials dont
want a wholesale, unrestricted
jump-back-into regular life in
Kansas communities, in case a
resurgence of the virus follows
a relaxation of those restrictions on public gatherings.
Anderson County Emergency
Preparedness Director J.D.
Mersman said the task force
included representatives from
healthcare, local government,
schools and business, whose
job would be to determine
how fast and to what degree
Anderson County transitions
back to normal.
The presumption is that
the Governor will issue some
form of executive order(s)
over the next several weeks
pertaining to mass gatherings and social distancing,
Mersman said. The county/
public health officer can enact
more strict local orders but
cannot place anything in effect
that is of less severity than the
Governors order. I feel like
with this group of subject matter experts we can take into
account whats best for the
health and safety of the county
as well as minimize the financial burden if at all possible.
As of press time yesterday
no official word on the expiration of Kellys order had been
received, but the governor
prepped members of the legislature on the prospect in a
phone call late last week.
The statewide Stay-atHome Order will not be extended past May 3 unless conditions worsen significantly
next week, said Fifth District

A hearse decorated for Thursdays Liberate Kansas protest
on the capitol grounds in Topeka sports a message to convey
protestors aggravation with the continued economic lockdown
Protests pit rights, angst
over economic freeze-out
against Kellys dictate
BY DAVID HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA Kansans calling for an
end to the economic lockdown of the
state converged on the State Capitol in
Topeka Thursday, pressing Governor
Laura Kelly to reopen the state and let
employees and businesses get back to
work.
Pressure to reopen the state has
mounted in Kansas and other states
over the past week, stealing headlines
on the Covid-19 topic since the rate of
new infections has leveled or declined
and since the initial impact of the disease has been either delayed or dramatically overstated.
Thursdays rally apparently developed organically via social media but
followed President Trumps recent
tweets to Liberate states from stay-athome orders instituted initially under
the guise of limiting what was expected
to be an overwhelming surge of Covid19 cases on the states hospitals and
medical facilties.
Some protestors wore masks, others carried signs, one horseback rider
waved an American flag; dozens joined
in a chorus of horns from their cars,
trucks, motorcycles, RVs, even fire
trucks, in the peaceful two-hour demonstration.

City vows not to

Wilson told city commissioners in a recent monthly report the restricted economics of the governments
response to Covid-19 may have
showed some impact in March
but so far the effect hadnt been
major.
The number of delinquent

last week. The shutoff list
was a bit higher than normal,

Costs of Covid-19
to City of Garnett
as yet unknown
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT City officials are
anticipating substantial overall revenue losses to Garnetts
coffers as a result of the Covid19 sequester, but city manager
Chris Weiner says its too early
to do much more than estimate.
I dont really have a good
estimate on the reduction of
sales tax or utility collections,
Weiner said last week. We just
dont have the data yet.
The city implemented a no
shut-off rule during the Covid19 emergency promising not
to disconnect utilities from
customer homes for non-payment. Through March delinquent accounts had run about
average according to city clerk
Travis Wilson. But Weiner said
the numbers could be big ones
when finally counted up.
I think it could be as bad
as $1.6 million less than budgeted, Weiner said. He said
sales tax revenues could be
off as much as $200,000 due to
business closings and general
reduction in taxable sales as

a fine if used otherwise. Lester will

How to seek communion with Christ
Those who are truly in
Christ, seek communion with
Christ, praying to him, reading his word and hearing it
preached, partaking of the sacraments and enjoying fellowship with his people.
Philippians 4:6-7 points us to
Christ, giving us instruction for
prayer as follows. Do not be
anxious about anything, but in
everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present
your requests to God. And the
peace of God, which transcends
all understanding, will guide
your hearts and your minds in
Christ Jesus.
In Revelation 1:3 we are guaranteed a blessing if we read the
word. Blessed is the one who
reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who
hear it and take to heart what
was written in it, because the
time is near. Paul tells the
church at Corinth how important hearing the word of God
preached and believing it is in
Cor. 15:1-2. Now brothers, I
want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which
you received and on which you
have taken your stand. By this
gospel you are saved, if you hold
firmly to the word I preached
to you. Otherwise you have
believed in vain.
Paul gives clear direction
to the disciples in 1 Cor. 11:2326 regarding the sacraments.
For I received from the Lord
what I also passed on to you.
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
The Lord Jesus on the night he
was betrayed took bread, and
when he had given thanks, he
broke it and said, This is my
body, which is for you; do this
in remembrance of me. In the
same way, after supper he took
the cup, saying, This cup is
the new covenant in my blood;
do this whenever you drink it
in remembrance of me . For
whenever you eat this bread
and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lords death until he
comes.
The writer to the Hebrews
provides encouragement when
he states in Heb. 10:25, Let us
not give up meeting together, as
some are in the habit of doing,
but let us encourage one another — and all the more as you see
the day approaching.
The Christian life is an
ongoing commitment to Jesus
Christ, a daily turning to him
in repentance and faith as we
await the fulfillment of our citizenship in heaven.
Ministry on the
Holiness of God.

shut them off, Wilson said.
The city has traditionally
relied on revenues from its
utility services for reserve
cash in certain emergencies,
but those funds were increasingly used over the past
decades to offset property tax
hikes under pressure from
city commissioners. That policy resulted in concerns over
the depletion of those funds.
Wilson told commissioners
the city had 13 new utility
customers in March, mailed
259 delinquent notices and 47
who did not pay by the 25th
of the month. While no customers had their service shut
off, Wilson said, candidates
for disconnections were given
additional notice of payment
options and procedures.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, April 28, 2020
OPINION
Kelly, Toland & wind farms:
Let them eat cake consolation
Its becoming apparent that Thursdays
misstep by Kansas Governor Laura Kelly and
Department of Commerce head David Toland
wasnt just bad timing.
While the now rusted and stagnant Kansas
economy teetered on the brink of collapse last
week and while small business people and members of the public took to the streets of Topeka
to beg Kelly to reopen the state and let them get
back to making a living, the governors chief
business guru was touting the wonders of wait
for it windmills.
Its reminiscent of the line attributed to
Frances Marie Antoinette when she was told
the peasants had no bread: Let them eat cake.
The subsequent revelation is frightening:
Kansas top business leaders dont have a plan
for defibrillating the states government-torpedoed economy to bring it back to life, other
than wishing on the rural cancer of wind farms?
Maybe Kelly and Toland could help out by sending us a plague of grasshoppers while theyre at
it?
No one has yet made a good estimate of the
damage in real dollars done to Kansas in the
five weeks or so since Kelly ordered us to lock
down. Her order amounted to a Buck Rogersesque freeze ray for Kansas small business
operations and revenues. The week of March 21
saw more than 23,000 first-time filings for unemployment benefits in Kansas according to the
U.S. Department of Labor ten times the weekly
average over the previous 10 weeks. Claims
doubled again the following week to more than
54,000.
That means the difference between the dollars those workers previously earned and their
unemployment checks suddenly is no longer
circulating in the economy. Sales taxes from
those foregone purchases wont be collected
by the state and redistributed to your city and
county. The economic effects have been seismic.
Businesses whose revenues have ceased cant
pay their bills or their employees. They dont
advertise either many of your favorite radio
show disc jockeys have been furloughed, and
The Kansas City Star ran an article on Sunday
literally asking for public donations.
Perhaps worst hit have been the very hospitals that the jack-booted order sought to protect.
Hospitals went to battle stations and girded
their loins for an onslaught of Covid-19 patients
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
that never came. They spent extra dollars on
Covid supplies while at the same time shutting
down revenue-generating elective procedures
like mammograms, colonoscopies and elective
surgeries. Those losses are now catastrophic
and have resulted in an entirely new medical
crisis in the U.S. hospitals that are broke.
This debacle and concerns over lost civil
rights as a result of Kellys order were the issues
to which members of the Liberate Kansas movement attempted to call attention on Thursday in
Topeka. But neither Kelly nor Toland saw fit to
address the group to listen to their concerns.
Instead Toland, who last year heralded his
own Listening Tour of rural Kansas, on
Thursday issued to state media a press release
extolling the virtues of wind farms to the state.
While nearly all facets of the Kansas economy plummeted, Toland touted the subsidy
dependent, corporate tax credit-fueled disasters
which have ravaged rural home values, threatened the health of residents, jacked up electric rates and pitted neighbor against neighbor
throughout the states impoverished rural areas
all to produce the most expensive electricity
ever conjured but only when the wind blows.
Of course Tolands wind energy fetish is
reserved specifically for those of us in rural
areas. After all, for some reason you dont find
wind farms in Johnson County.
But Tolands derelict approach to the states
economy is a secondary concern right now. It
is Kellys choking stay at home order which
should be lifted immediately to let Kansas businesses and healthcare institutions start trying
to heal themselves. ###

Post Covid-19, Kansas seeks normalcy again
As of Tuesday, the Institute for Health
Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), one of the
main organizations providing modeling for
and tracking of the statistics of the coronavirus pandemic, showed Kansas was two days
past the projected peak in daily deaths from
COVID-19 and four days past the projected
peak resource use. The IHME projections predict a total of 187 deaths in Kansas. We hit
100 deaths on Monday. So far, .013 percent of
the states population has been hospitalized
because of COVID-19.
In the United States, we were shown as six
days past the projected peak in daily deaths
and seven days past peak resource use. The
modeling projects 60,308 deaths from COVID19 in the United States, well under the 120,000+
that were predicted just a couple weeks ago.
On both the state and national level, the
pandemic seems to be on the good side of the
peak.
The total cases reported in Kansas continue
to increase and that growth may continue as
the state increases its testing capabilities, but
we are past the worst of this crisis.
Any way you look at it, this pandemic is
not what it was originally touted to be. Thank
God.
Still very serious, but the original headlines of millions of people dying from this
pandemic will not happen. The data is now
starting to prove that.
COMMENTARY
DAN THALMANN, WASHINGTON COUNTY NEWS
Now, it is imperative that we develop a plan
to start safely lifting restrictions and re-opening the economy. The school closings, limits
to mass gatherings, stay-at-home orders and
travel restrictions were all ordered with the
hope of holding back the mass carnage so that
we could keep hospitalizations and medical
resources within the countrys capacity. They
were not in place to keep the official count of
COVID-19 cases at zero.
It is still very likely well see positive cases
in counties that currently have no official
cases. But we can stay concerned about the
crisis while planning steps to get back to
normal. Statewide stay-at-home orders are
not necessary. Several states around us, like
Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Iowa and
South Dakota, resisted stay-at-home orders.
Restriction levels can be much more localized,
reflecting the seriousness of the areas they
represent. Wyandotte County is not the same
as Washington County and they shouldnt
have the exact same restrictions in place.
If we personally strive to continue all of
the hygienic and social distancing measures
weve gotten used to over the last five weeks,
we can return some normalcy while still protecting public health. We need to do this
because it is the right thing to do for the sake
of our neighbors, not because the government
told us to.
The re-opening cannot last deep into the
fall. Rather than leading with government
mandates, this country must get back to a
push of personal responsibility.
Depression, joblessness, loneliness and fear
have measurable negative effects on people
and that should be our new focus. If the nation,
state or county waits too long to return to normalcy, well see death and despair among our
friends and neighbors from those concerns
rather than COVID-19. This is now the more
urgent crisis on which to focus our public
health efforts.

The mainstream medias imaginary ventilator crisis
At a coronavirus task force briefing at the
beginning of April, White House adviser Jared
Kushner explained the approach that would -as events proved — get the country through its
ventilator crisis.
He was relentlessly pilloried, mocked and
distorted in the press for it.
Kushner said at one point that states
shouldnt be drawing on the federal stockpile
just to hold ventilators in their own reserves.
This led to a flurry of media criticism alleging
that Kushner wanted to horde the federal ventilator stockpile.
Actually, the emphasis on data and shrewd
allocation that Kushner discussed at the April
2 briefing has clearly worked.
At the outset, the country was looking at
a daunting, perhaps impossible challenge. A
chilling briefing at the Federal Emergency
Management Agency early on posited that the
U.S. could be short 130,000 ventilators by April
1. The federal government had about 16,000
ventilators in its stockpile.
A couple of insights drove the administrations effort to get its arms around the problem.
Officials realized, as one White House
adviser puts it, that there was too much
guesstimating going on. Many governors
didnt know how many ventilators their states
had and were acting on the normal impulse to
have more than enough, just in case.
The administration created a data team. It
used hospital billings to estimate how many
ventilators were in each state and how many
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
were being utilized, so it didnt have to depend
on perhaps panicky, poorly informed requests
from states.
Another important realization was that
FEMA could do just-in-time delivery. This
created a lot of flexibility. The administration
could wait to see how things really played out,
rather than make decisions based on projections weeks in the future.
The media portrayed it as a failure every
time the administration gave a state a fraction
of its request, but this was a key element of
the strategy. If the administration had tried
to meet New Yorks initial estimated need
for 40,000 additional ventilators, for instance,
everything would have gone out the door, and
for no good reason.
Another insight was that most ventilators
out in the country werent being used, since
virus hot spots are geographically limited.
That meant there was a tremendous capacity to be tapped. This led to the Dynamic
Ventilator Reserve. States and hospitals with
a safe margin of ventilators not in use could
lend them to places that needed them, with
a federal guarantee that a hospital lending a
ventilator would get a replacement in 24 or 48
hours if it turned out that it needed it back.
This removed the fear and the risk of giving
up ventilators.
To add to the nations overall supply, FEMA
acted quickly to get so-called notifications to
purchase to ventilator manufacturers so they
could start work and hold their inventory,
which ensured it wasnt lost to foreign countries.
Last year, according to administration figures, the country produced 30,000 ventilators.
This year, its going to produce some 200,000,
and they are already coming in. We are going
to be swimming in ventilators, a White House
adviser said.
By any measure, thats a success, certainly
compared with where we thought wed be
less than a month ago. If the media werent so
devoted to gotcha idiocy, more people might
know about it.

looked in your finery and smiling and having
fun even in this awful situation. A great example
of making the best of a bad situation, keeping
your chin up and not letting the problems of life
get you down. Thank you for teaching the rest of
us adults such an important lesson.
Okay, it needs to be said. If you wear a face mask
it does no good unless you wear it correctly. The
mask must completely snug the nose, otherwise
you are breathing air that enters behind the
mask and is not filtered or you expel germs from
behind the mask when you cough or sneeze. If
you make a mask, you need to make it where it
fits snuggly around the nose and stays snugged
around the nose either by special design or with
a bendable metal insert. Wearing a mask sucks
and yes it makes it harder to breath. But wearing one open around the nose is a waste of time
and does no good to anyone.

Civil war bullets found in county pasture
DIGGING UP THE PAST
Henry Roeckers
Call (785) 504-4722 for
local archeology information.
A local Anderson County
pasture gave up these four
Civil War era bullets, after
being lost for over 150 plus
years. During one of my metal
detector surveys, I found and
dug up these bullets and several other artifacts that were
buried beneath the prairie sod.
The small bullet on the left is
a .36 cal. pistol bullet and was
used by both sides during the
Civil War. This bullet went by
several names, but the most
5A
HISTORY
common two were: Teardrop
and Potbelly.
The smooth bullet is a .56 val.
Colt Revolving rifle. Upon close
examination one can see it has
been fired. This bullet was in
service from 1855-1863. A five
shot cylinder was used. A combination of Colt Revolving pistols and Revolving rifles were
often used by the Pony Express.
The two bullets to your
right are 1858 .58 cal. Sharps
rifle often referred to as Ring
Tailed or Three Ring
Sharps. They were also known
as Minie Balls.
Not only Sharps rifles, but
Springfield Model 1861 and
British pattern 1858 Enfield
rifled muskets used paper
cartridge bullets during the
American Civil War.
The condition of these two
bullets tell me they are what is
known as Drops. Otherwise
dropped and lost or perhaps
the powder was wet and they
were simply thrown away, but
never fired.
Finding these four bullets
made my day!

April 1990
The saying of if you dont
like the weather in Kansas,
just wait a minute seems
to be a discussion starter in
1990. However, residents who
thought that this winters
weather has been topsy-turvy
should recall the dust storm in
March 1989 and compare it with
3.5 inches of rain last week. In
1989 the state was beset with
one of its driest springs on
record and then came a sight
which some had never seen a
dust storm. Clouds of dust were
carried by winds that reached
72 miles per hour and limited
visibility.
April 1980
Ducks, both wild and domesticated, can be seen swimming
on the South Lake in Garnett,
but Ron Slinkard, who is mainly responsible for their presence, reports that two have
been shot and also that he
caught others throwing rocks
at them. The two who allegedly
shot and killed the two ducks
are juveniles and have been
charged.
April 1920
The Garnett High School
under present conditions is
crowded for room. The high
school enrollment this year
is 175, and about one-half of
this number are non-resident
pupils. Their tuition, at the
rate of one dollar per week,
or four dollars per month, is
paid by the county, the levy for
this purpose being made by the
county commissioners on the
property outside the Garnett
school district which is exempt
from the payment of this tax.
The Garnett High School has
not the room to accommodate
any more pupils than the present enrollment and high school

by Pamela Meats
We had our very first drive-in
Church service and it was wonderful
to see so many of our church family!
The church isnt the building, its the
people. We ARE the church!
In John 6, the people were trying to
make Jesus their king, but they wanted a king like David. One that would
free Israel and return things to the way
they used to be. When the women went
to anoint Jesus body in the tomb and
he wasnt there, they still didnt understand what was going on. Jesus had
told them in John 8:21-30 that he had
to go away, and where he was going,
they could not go. The devil came to
kill and destroy. Jesus came to save
us. He is the king of the universe and
will reign forever. The powers of hell
will NOT prevail. And remember, our
freedoms do not come from the government, from a doctor, our wallets,
etc. God gives us our rights to speak up
and share the gospel, to assemble and
to protect our families. Jesus died so
we could die to our sins and be raised
to new life. We have peace of mind
from freedom in Christ. When you
choose Jesus, you are brought out of
your grave, choosing eternal life. So
choose Jesus! Repent of your sins and
start obeying his Word, and the Holy
Spirit will be with you to help you each
and every day. Hear this sermon in its
entirety on our Facebook page.
Pastor Chase Riebel gave the sermon at our second drive-in church
service reminding us of the dangers
of twisting Gods words. The devil
has contradicted Gods word since the
beginning of time, speaking in partial
truth. By doing this, Satan caused Eve
to question God. Even when tempting
Jesus in the desert, Satan used Gods
own words to try to convince Jesus to
sin. We must always go to Gods word
to find the true answers so we dont fall
prey to misquotes and lies. We need to
know what the Bible says. Satan will
use this time of isolation and separation to get into our minds. So think
less on your own thoughts. Turn down
the chaos and noise that drowns out
the Word. Satan has no power when
the Word lives in us, and there is no
condemnation to those who belong to
Jesus. So, whose words are you listening to? Jesus, the world, or Satan. (Ref:
Luke 4:1-13, 2 Timothy 4:3-4, John 1:1 &
6:63, Luke 33, Psalm 119:105, Romans
8:1-2, 1 Corinthians 1123-26)
in House District 5 to provide stable
funding and predictable planning for
our children and schools, as well as
guidelines to better address bullying
and mental health among our students
and communities.
Modernizing our statutes to maintain a system of checks and balances
that protects our constitutional rights
while maximizing public health and
welfare, especially during times of
declared emergency.
Kansas will face extraordinary challenges in the years ahead. In addition
to economic and health challenges that
just weeks ago no one could have predicted, we must be ready to protect our
rural communities in the redistricting
process, Samsel said. We need people
we can trust to tell the truth, ask the
tough questions, and most importantly,
do the right thing, especially when its
not convenient or popular.
We must elect leaders with conservative roots planted firmly in family
farms and rural Kansas with the backbone and work ethic of our farmers,
Samsel added. Now is not the time to
send politicians to Topeka who are more
concerned about their own careers and
currying favor with special interests
than whats best for their District.
An attorney, Samsel served on the
Judiciary Committee in his first term.
He also worked closely with business
and community leaders throughout
the District on many issues, including
in the Education Committee and the
Energy, Utilities & Telecommunications
Committee.
Samsels voting record is available at
www.kslegislature.org.

tax system that reduces the burden
on rural Kansans, seniors, veterans,
farmers, and working families, which
includes relief for property taxes and
the sales tax on food, and eliminating
the tax lid that inadvertently caused
higher taxes.
Passing a new 10-year transportation and broadband plan, including
expanded and safer highways and more
jobs throughout our District.
Increasing community-based mental health resources and fighting for
mental health parity, as well as funding
for state employees, lifting the moratorium at Osawatomie State Hospital, and
making mental health services more
available when needed.
Working regularly with the five
school superintendents and educators

To the grocery store employees,
truck drivers, farmers, hardware stores, auto mechanics,

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, April 28, 2020
Downtown Richmond building has survived multiple fires through the years
Written/Submitted by
Dennis Peters
The following story was to
be presented at the Richmond
Community Museum annual
meeting on the 19th of April.
There was going to be a slide
presentation of some of the old
buildings of Richmond, but due
to the covid virus the meeting
is now postponed until a later
date.
In July 1910 Richmond was
incorporated and one of the
ordinances that was put in
place, was that any new buildings in the business district
had to have outer walls of a nonflammable material. In Nov.
1910 George Bowen contracted
John Stomp and H. M. Wise of
Garnett to build a brick building on his lot in Richmond. The
building was flanked by wood
frame buildings. To the west
was a single story barbershop
and a wood two story building
housing a restaurant on the
ground floor and living quarters upstairs. To the east were
also wood frame buildings an
undertakers store building,
an empty storage shed, Mrs.
Werntz milliner and notion
store and the bank which was
a wood frame building covered
in sheet metal.
In the early morning hours
of Feb. 16, 1911 a fire broke
out in empty shed to the east.
Flames quickly spread to the
undertakers building and the
milliner shop and the bank.
Those four buildings were soon
lost to the flames. Bowens
brick building suffered little
damage and in March was completed and ready for business.
He had a furniture store on the
ground floor in the front and a
harness shop in the back. Over
the Bowen store were the offices of Dr. D. H. Smith, physician
and Dr. W. F. Whitmer, veterinary.
On the morning of April 29,
1914 fire once again struck.
However, this morning it
was within the building itself
and almost totally destroyed
it. Bowen lost his furniture
and harness stock as well as
all his machinery. Dr. Smith
lost everything including his
X-ray machine. About the only
thing that was saved was Dr.
Whitmers desk and the brick
walls.
John Stomp was once again

hired to rebuild it. By August
the building was once again
ready for occupancy. Bowen
had his harness business on
the lower floor and the doctors were back in their offices
upstairs. In Nov. 1914 Bowen
sold his business to Ross
Spencer of Garnett. Spencer
would run a harness shop and
shoe repair business.
Feb. 1916 fire once again
would strike. This time to the
west, both the restaurant and
barbershop, were destroyed.
Somehow Spencers building
escaped being damaged. A few
months after the fire John
Williams built a garage on the
north end of the vacant lots on
the west. Guy Price purchased
the lots and building in 1920.
He added onto it to the south
bringing it out to main street
this would be the Price Ford
dealership (later the CO-OP
hardware store). He put a filling station in the front with the
tank under the sidewalk. I mention this because on May 27,
1922 that tank exploded tearing

up the sidewalk, but doing no
other damage. That old brick
building had survived again.
In 1923 a store was built on
the east side of Spencers building that store in 1925 would be
owned and operated by George
C. Dietrich. In 1924 Spencer
still had his shop here in this
building, I dont much about
what took place here over the
next several years. The doctors
still had the upstairs offices
into the 1930s.
Sometime in the 30s or 40s
Dietrich purchased the building he opened up the east wall
between the two buildings
making them one. The lower
front of the building was part of
the general store. The upstairs

The fire in 1986 did enough
damage to the hardware store
on the west it had to be taken
down in 1993 leaving the west
wall exposed. As you look at
the building today you will
notice the west wall is brick
and a red block. The red block
was used in the building of the
Ford dealership in 1920.

business here till 1969 when
they sold the business to Art
and Phyllis Rossman.
The Rossmans owned the
business for a number of years
and made numerous upgrades.
They sold it to the Burkdoll
Bros. as a meat market and
grocery. In April 1986 a light-
ning strike set the building
ablaze once again. The damage
was significant, but the building survived yet again. Mark
Stevenson purchased the building after the fire, fixed it up and

Cont – The Skinning Tree A novel by G. Dane Hicks
Due to "social distancing" directives in view of the present Covid19
emergency and the fact that many
Review readers are sequestering to varying degrees in their
homes and looking for reading
materials among ways to pass the
time, we are publishing segments
of Review publisher Dane Hicks'
2003 novel "The Skinning Tree"
(Began March 24) over the course
of the next several weeks.
Chapter 3 Cont
*picking up from where left on from
April 21st edition
A hollow, grinding sound rose
up to the ears of the players as
the beer bottle skated around in
its tight spin, traveling a little
toward the shoe of a boy Steph
didnt know, as the seven of them
sat around in a circle on the old
wood floor of the room. Steph
sat cross-legged next to Sasha,
who was turning up the volume
of her conversation with every
drink of her beer, and sitting
on her hip in her skirt with her
frumpy legs bent in front of her.
Trish sat there too, running her
hands through her short red
hair, exclaiming each time the
bottle spun and again each time
it slowed to a stop, designating
yet another victim for some odd
deed at the behest of the spinner.
Three beers ago, Steph had
been bored and uncomfortable
here, but the room had cleared
somewhat the bulk of the party
was still out in the living room
and from the thumping sounds
overhead, had spread to the
upstairs bedrooms. She was now
relaxed, talkative and enjoying
the game, which had garnered
her at least one probing kiss
from three of the boys in the
circle. Three girls and four boys
made for an odd match as the
bottle occasionally landed on a
same-sex victim, and beyond the
guffaw and the admonitions for
a non-heterosexual illustration,
the spinner had the option to
chug what was left of his beer.
As the spinners and spinnees got
drunker, the kisses got longer
and deeper. Outside the possibility of selecting where the narrow
neck of the bottle might point
when it stopped, Steph took a
little comfort in noting that from
time to time Sasha got kissed,
too.
The amber and silver-labeled
blur slowly spun itself down,
creeping the last few revolutions
until the neck pointed straight
at Steph. A drunken yelp went
up from Jeff, a pony-tailed lad
of probably nineteen or twenty with no sleeves and several
tattoos, whom Steph had only
been introduced to a few seconds
before the first time he stuck
his tongue down her throat. She
jolted her head smartly, at the
decision of the glass container, looked at Jeff, and grinned
through her grimace.
Wait-a-minute, wait-a-minute, Jeff slurred, pushing his
hand back across his forehead
and rubbing his drunken eyes.
She has to do something different this time.
Wolf whistles and a roar of
approval rose from the circle,
and Steph waved her hands in
front of herself in smiling protest,
her brown hair spilling across
her smooth cheeks and squinting, brown eyes. Jeff leaned into
the circle with his index finger
raised, as if to gain control of the
group and of Steph, as he reached
behind his back and came forward with a small leather case
that looked like a thick envelope,
soiled and stained, its flap tied
down by a piece of rawhide cord.
A questioning murmur arose
from the small group.
This time, she has to do this,
Jeff said, holding the leather container toward the center of the
circle. Pulling back the flap, he
pulled it open wider to display its
contents: a glass pipe that looked
like a pot pipe; a new-looking
propane cigarette lighter, a
half-soiled piece of cotton rag;
a tiny flat head screwdriver; a
few cotton swabs, some clean,
some stained brown on the ends
and frazzled; and a tiny glass
vial half full of brownish looking
light powder.
Oh, man, exclaimed one of
the boys Steph didnt know.
Hey, hey! Rules are rules,
man, Jeff said, fishing into the
case with his fingers. Rules are
rules.
What is that? Stephs eyes
were wide with anticipation as
she leaned into the circle, trying
to get a better glimpse of the
contents of the case. Bolstered
by the oohs and ahhs of her
audience and four beers, she was
ready to climb any hill for the
entertainment of the onlookers.
This, honey-pie, Jeff said,
raising his chest a little and lowering his voice in some weird
attempt at seductive allusion
while he tapped a tiny bit of the
powder into the bowl of the pipe,
is the baaaad thing.
Its crank, baby crystal
meth. Its wicked, one of the
other boys said. Youll be bouncing off the walls.
Gimme that! Steph chuckled into confrontational laughter, her voice heavy with alcohol. She punched Sasha on the
shoulder, knocking her slightly
sideways. Sasha watched her
intently.
Cmere. Jeff scooted his
body into the circle, holding the
pipe out toward Steph in his
left hand, and ready to fire up
the tiny propane torch with the
other.
No, you first, she giggled. I
dont know how. Hollers of oh,
sure you dont and the like rose
up from around the circle, and
a handful of onlookers who had
now gathered.
Jeff scowled, Rookie. A
tiny blue flame erupted from the
end of the lighter with a hissing
sound, like an afterburner on a
tiny jet engine. Jeff held his lips
pursed onto the end of the pipe,
holding the heat to the bowl. It
took a few seconds for the powder to melt, forming a brownish
puddle of liquid to which Jeff
still applied heat. A little more
heat and it vaporized into a little
white cloud, and Jeff inhaled.
He twitched a little, closing his
eyes and leaning back. Opening
his eyes, he looked at Steph and
started to smile, a low murmur
rising from the crowd around
him and building in a crescendo as his smile widened at her.
Soon his face was spread into a
devilish grin and focused on her
as he held his breath still and
scraped the bowl of the pipe with
the screwdriver.
Thats all there is to it, he
said exhaling, mist of smoke
swirling around his head. The
drug gave off a deep, pungent
smell. Jeff reloaded the pipe with
a little more of the toxic powder
and held it out to Steph.
She was clumsy with it, so Jeff
held it for her and fired up the
pipe. The powder seemed to melt
quicker this time, then was gone.
Now! Jeff urged. Steph drew
her breath in. Shed smoked lots
of pot before, but the timing was
more important with this. Her
lungs filled with the fumes, and
an odd metallic-like taste filled
her mouth as she shut her eyes,
tucked her chin and turned her
head. The crowd quieted and
seemed to tense as she held her
breath. Her head bent down, she
blindly handed the pipe back to
Jeff, turned toward to Sasha, and
slowly opened her eyes. The wisp
silently escaped her mouth as
she faced her friend, opening her
eyes and drawing her lips into a
devious smile.
Im guessing her age at fourteen or fifteen, judging from the
sexual development. Time of
death, between midnight Friday
and 6 a.m. Saturday. Dr. Clark
Gross sipped at his coffee, leaning forward on Bookmans desk,
staring at the pages of his clipboard through a pair of half-lens,
black-rimmed reading glasses.
And youve got big problems
here.
His pronouncement sounded
kind of haughty to Bookman,
almost like he was establishing
the facts and expecting Bookman
to argue with him. The overhead
light reflected from the front of
his bald head, and from time to
time he reached up with the butt
end of his ink pen to scratch at
his scalp, which yielded gradually on the sides of his head
to salt and pepper gray hair. It
was almost 10 p.m., and his preliminary medical examiners
report was only now in shape
to be reviewed. Bookman leaned
back on his chair, leg crossed
over his other knee. He was tired
but filled with questions. Gross
continued to flip through the
pages on his clipboard, sounding
matter-of-fact. In the back of his
mind, he knew it was better than
an hour back to Topeka tonight.
Death likely by strangulation. She had a fair degree of
bruising around the neck and
throat, and Im sure once we
autopsy well find some collapse
in there, he motioned toward
his throat. Gross had been dealing with cops for nearly twenty

four years in this job, and one
sure way to lose them especially the rural guys who got a
murder every ten years or so
was to start throwing advanced
physiological terms at them. It
was a different story when bodies were popping up like dandelions, like they used to in Chicago.
Everybody got used to the lingo
then. I havent done any testing
yet to determine vaginal, anal or
oral penetration, but Im betting
well find something.
Was she murdered there?
Bookman asked.
No. The fact that none of her
clothes were found at the scene
indicates she probably was killed
elsewhere and brought here. The
site around the mouth of the well
was too contaminated by your
people to get any good tracks,
but from what I could tell there
were no dragging marks, and no
inordinate amount of soil on the
body. Whoever put her down that
well was strong enough to carry
her there and dump her.
I contacted Jack and the boys
with the dogs, Bookman
said, a little uneasy at the
offhand remark that his
officers had contaminated
the scene. Theyll start
early tomorrow morning
looking for anything that
might be hers.
Ideally we should have
started that immediately, Gross sighed.
Jack was planting a
thousand acres of corn.
Ideally, hed have been
a little easier to put our
hands on. The tone of
Bookmans voice was a
little defensive.
Now,
the
sticky
part, Gross said, adjusting himself in his chair
and ignoring Bookmans
retort. He made eye contact with Bookman for the
longest time since he sat
down twenty minutes ago.
There was something else.
What? Bookman was somewhat alarmed by the look on
Grosss face.
Rose petals. I found what
looked like rose petals in her
mouth. Well know for sure after
the lab analyzes them, but they
were fairly fresh and Im fairly
certain thats what they were.
Rose petals? Bookmans
face showed his bewilderment.
Sometime after death, someone placed rose petals in her
mouth.
Why?
I dont know. Fetish of some
kind maybe. There was no other
evidence of roses or plants where
she was discovered. They were
in her mouth when the body hit
the debris in the bottom of that
well.
God. Bookman fixed his
gaze on Grosss eyes, half distorted by reflection from the reading
glasses. You mean it was some
kind of a psycho or something?
Im faxing the preliminary
report to KBI and KHP, though I
ANDERSON
assume KBI will be in tomorrow
early if youre running the dogs.
This rose thing is something
we want to get out to the NCIC,
because it sounds, well, interesting, Gross said. KBI will want
to know if anybody else out there
has run into anything similar.
Gross rubbed his index fingers
up under the bottoms of his glasses, stretching his baggy eyelids
as he did so.
I havent heard of anything
like this around the state,
Bookman said. Do you think
this guy could be from around
here?
Gross shifted in his seat and
leaned back, lifting his hands
and turning them palms out to
Bookman as if to stop the questions from leading to their own
answers.
Officer Bookman, you have
to understand. What we know
right now is very little, but we
do know certain things, Gross
said as Bookman leaned toward
him, staring intently through the
man as his mind summed up the
thought that this was real.
We know a girl was killed,
Gross continued. We know she
was strangled. We know she was
stripped of her clothing. We suspect she was sexually assaulted.
We know her body was disposed
of in a remote area, and we were
lucky enough to find her body
fairly fresh, which means she
probably died within a reasonable driving distance of where
she was found. We suspect she
was left with a fingerprint,
or a defining mark left by her
assailant the rose petals in the
mouth.
Now, Gross leaned forward,
placing his open palms together and looking off to the side,
concentrating on some point
in the distance, serial killers
sometimes develop a procedure.
For instance, stripping a victim
before the killing, or after the
killing, is part of a procedure.
Strangulation, as opposed to
other forms of ending life, is part
of a procedure. And the rose petals, well, think of carving your
initials on a tree. Its an attempt
to identify oneself with a deed.
A calling card, if you will. Quite
egotistical, really.
Bookman rose from his
chair and walked a few steps
over to his window as Gross
spoke. Looking below him, he
saw the fenced concrete floor of
the Sharon County Jail exercise
yard. The yard was dark except
for the streetlights, which threw
shadows of the chain link fence
onto the concrete and halfway
up the side of the building. The
prospect of Grosss words was
beginning to weigh on him.
There are different kinds of
killers, Gross continued in a
low but driven monotone. Some
hear voices that command them
to commit the crime. Others kill
to rid the earth of some perceived
evil, and, some do it for the pure
thrill of killing. And there are
those to whom killing is a lusty
thing they become sexually
aroused at the thought of killing
and torturing someone.
Sometimes theyre organized, sometimes theyre disorganized. The organized killers
are the toughest to catch. The
sloppy ones well, sometimes
theyll even return to the crime
scene or call the television stations or newspapers with tips on
their own crime they just cant
seem to keep their fingers out of
it, and theyre begging for some
notoriety, Gross sat back in his
chair, stretched out his legs, and
cupped his coffee in both hands
on top of his plump belt line. He
had pushed his glasses to the top
of his head, and his eyes looked
tired. His eyes fixed tiredly in a
gaze at the floor to the right, his
words now seemed to ebb from
his mouth, oozing out into the

room without regard to whether
they were actually heard by anyone or not.
My bet is here youre dealing with an organized killer.
The clothes removed and separated from the body, narrowing down our field of evidence.
Strangulation leaves no blood
spatters so even less evidence.
So the bastard could be right
here in town, Bookman turned
from the window, his words
almost as tired and distant as the
medical examiners, but spoken
with less confidence. His mind
began to pick up speed. How was
an investigation like this supposed to be handled? He had no
idea. He was going to have to stay
close to the KBI on this.
Or, he could be from Denver,
or New York, or Phoenix, or God
knows where else, Gross suddenly came to life, retracting his
feet and coming to lean forward
in the chair again. Youve got an
intersection of three highways
within five miles of the site.
Killers have driven across two or
three states sometimes to single
out their victims.
What we need to know is
who is this girl? Where is she
from? What habits did she have?
Once we start to learn about the
victim, we can look for parallels with those in other unsolved
crimes. In learning about the victim, we learn about the killer.
Deputy Otis Purvey heard
Dr. Gross rise from his chair,
promise more information from
various tests on the corpse that
would begin tomorrow morning,
and ask where he could make
a photocopy of his preliminary,
as he unclamped the pages from
the clipboard. The open door of
Bookmans office and its bouncy acoustics had projected the
entire conversation across the
hallway and into the slightly
larger squad room, where Otis
sat at his desk going over paperwork. The old jail and sheriffs
office had been built in 1922. Its
walls were solid but bare, and
sound traveled.
McKane had more of a buzz
baked potato had soaked up the
first couple of scotch and waters,
but the last couple were finding
their mark. He sat on the barstool with his back to the burgeoning Saturday night crowd
at Chiggers, having commandeered the bar TV remote control from Alice, Chigs wife, who
was hustling around the crowded
room delivering drinks and food
and didnt give a damn if the
three loners at the bar wanted to
watch the news channel.
The television sat on a shelf to
the right of the back bar, which
was filled with bottle after bottle of liquor capped with a red,
green or white jigger spout, their
contents marking different levels
of amber and other colors in the
glass bottles. Higher above on
another shelf was an unholy looking giant paper-mache insect,
its rounded body sprouting with
wire legs and pieces of fake fur.
It wouldnt have mattered which
end of The Chigger the bulbous head with its wild eyes and
snarling teeth was attached to,
since both ends looked nearly
as hideously the same. But the
head faced the bar and the front
leg was entwined around a tiny
bottle of Jack Daniels. The
Chigger was the mascot of the
bar and the conversation point
for newcomers. Its decoupaged
body glowed blue from the reflection of the television set, whose
light bounced hither and thither
across the glass bottles and mirror behind the bar.
Hey newspaper man, what
was a-going on up north today
with all them sirens? McKane
knew the face, but he didnt
know that hed ever formally
been introduced to the man it
belonged to. A guy in his fifties in
a cowboy hat and big belt buckle
was standing to McKanes left
across the bar from the cash register, holding his dinner check
in one hand and a wad of cash
in the other. Maybe he didnt
know McKanes name either, or
he would have used it, McKane
thought.
Pulled a body out of a dry
well up there on Pod Tuckers
old place, McKane said, his eyes
up there.
Who was it? Anybody local?
The mans face contorted a little
in shock underneath the brim of
his cowboy hat.
Dont know. Cops are mum
about it so far.
Well, did they catch whoever
done it?
Dont know. Nobodys saying
anything yet.
Well, I thought you was a
newspaperman! Cowboys tone
was half joking, but only half. It
was clear he expected to get the
scoop from the man who should
know, on demand.
Well probably know lots
more by the time Thursdays
paper comes out, McKane said
flatly, still eyeballing his drink.
Alice swung by the corner of the
bar with an empty tray, ready to
cash the cowboy out. She could
hear almost any conversation
from any point in the bar, regardless of the volume of the jukebox.
Kent, you dont think hes
gonna tell you, do ya? You gotta
go buy a paper! The three of
them, plus another guy at the
bar McKane didnt know, broke
up into chuckles. Poor fellas
starving to death, anyway, look
how skinny he is. He needs to sell
a few papers so he can put a little
weight on. Alice took the cowboys money, thanked him, and
patted McKanes shoulder with
a smile as she passed him on her
exit. She was a plump woman
curly graying hair bobbed a little
as she passed him. The cowboy
muttered something derogatory
about the Sentinel, stuck a toothpick in his mouth, and turned
away. McKane turned back
toward the television.
On it, Carey Ann Davis was
introducing a story on genetic
farming with a graphic over her
left shoulder. Pretty standard
introduction, McKane thought.
Hed certainly written his share
of those.
God, had it been that long?
Hed joined World News Network
right out of Columbia University
as a producers assistant, excited
beyond belief to get the job over
twenty-one other candidates
whod applied. Maybe it was the
Columbia journalism program,
which hed just stepped out
of that May. Maybe it was the
fact that he hunted down home
addresses of everybody on the
interview team to send thank
yous. Whatever it was, he was
researching stories for WNN
by the middle of the following
month, and beside himself with
awe of the job.
They worked him and the
other rookies nearly to death.
McKane remembered lots of
nights that stretched to four a.m.
and better. Lots of guys actually
slept at the office. Researching
stories around the world means
you have to talk to people in
Berlin or Mozambique when
headquarters building in Atlanta
was working alive with people
twenty-four hours a day, hypedup college-trained wonderboys
and wondergirls tracking down
information, following up on stories, double checking facts, staying in touch with other reporters in the field and sending the
interns out for food. The world,
every minute, as was WNNs
slogan, required somebody to
bust some ass, and it was usually
the youngest, lowest paid people
on staff.
The rich liquid moved silently
as McKane swirled his scotch
in the bottom of his glass, and
motioned a finger toward Alice
for another as she passed with
arms full of plates, nodding to
acknowledge his order. A lot of
years, he thought to himself.
They were hot times to be in
the cable news business, and little did McKane know they were
about to get hotter. The Persian
Gulf War was about to do for cable
news what the modern American
lifestyle had done for valium.
Hed just taken a temporary
assignment in West Germany in
the summer of 1990, expecting
to be covering the re-emergence
of the soon-to-be unified nation
after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
But Saddam Hussein was about
to put McKanes career on a faster track.
A day after Iraqs August 2
invasion of Kuwait McKane and
the show from there had been
pretty free form nobody on his
team had ever covered a war
before, and there didnt seem
to be anybody above them in
the chain of command to tell
them how to do it. Pretty soon
they flew in Brent Culbertson
and Ean Puller, both guys with
some Middle East experience,
to give some direction. But it
was hooking up with elements of
the Seventh Armored corps just
prior to Desert Storm that gave
them a focus and eventually a
couple of broadcast production
awards.
One thing was certain: the
demand for news from the Gulf
was so insatiable just about
every story the team sent back
got aired. Stumble into a battle
while following the 3rd Armored
Division around, like they did
that February of 91, and it was
assured your story would be all
over the network for a couple
days. The war was the biggest
story in the world, and McKane
was a twenty-eight year-old pro,
tried and tested in the hottest TV
news organization in the world,
and right in the thick of it.

COMMITTEE…
FROM PAGE 1
Representative Mark Samsel in
an email Friday. She expects
that the state will return most
local authority to the counties
and local officials. The state
will likely have some minimal
guidelines or restrictions in
place. Local officials will have
the ability to implement stricter guidelines.
Samsel said Kelly would
likely release more details this
week.
Safety and common sense
will continue to be encouraged,
especially for high-risk individuals, but things will gradually
move to reopening.
Samsel said school buildings
would not be reopening this
year.
Mersman said the first scheduled meeting for the local task
force was set for Wednesday.
Besides himself, Mersman
said members include: county public health officer Becky
Johnson; Anderson County
Clerk Julie Wettstein; Garnett
City Manager Chris Weiner;
city development director
Susan Wettstein, Garnett
Area Chamber of Commerce
Directory Kris Hix; Garnett
Church of the Nazarene pastor Jonathan Hall; Dr. Ross
Kimball; Dr. Wendy Belcher;
and county EMS directory
Tanya Ewert.
COSTS…
FROM PAGE 1
area residents saw job cutbacks
or losses, holed-up at home and
held onto their money.
I certainly hope the reality isnt as bad as these numbers, Weiner said, but it will
be largely dependent on how
long this shutdown lasts and
the extent of the subsequent
economic recovery.
Weiner said the city would
also see significant reductions
in activity fees for programs
which had to be cancelled due
to the state emergency order,
and also to transient guest tax
fees paid when travelers stay
overnight at local motels and
other lodgings. Activity fees go
to help pay for the citys various programs administrated
through its recreation department, and transient guest fees
are collected to play into the
citys marketing efforts aimed
at attracting tourists to the
local area.

state could lose federal disaster
dollars with the orders expiration, dollars that help pay
for the mobilization of Kansas
National Guard troops who
were called up to distribute
food and conduct drive-thru
testing clinics. Without the
federal dollars, the state would
have to pay those costs.
The Kansas Department
of Health and Environment
reported Sunday the state had
experienced 3,174 Covid cases
to date in 76 of the states 105
counties, with 23,053 negative
tests and 118 deaths.

Tilly Turtle
by Lydia Miller
Mrs. Millers Class
6th Grade Central Plains
Slowly but steadily the
mother turtle climbed up the
slope. Using her hind feet she
dug a small but deep hole.
She laid six white eggs in it.
When the last egg dropped in
the hole, she filled the hole.
At the top she mixed dirt and
grass together to make it look
normal, like instinct told her.
As she waddled back down
she saw the other other turtles returing also from laying
their eggs. That night a mother raccoon came to the pond
to hunt for supper for her
young. She sniffed at a breeze,
it seemed there were turtle
eggs on the slope, according
to the breeze. She ran up
the hill right
where
her nose
led her
to one of
the covered turtle
nests. She
started digging when
at last the
nest
came
into view. She
and her young
took them down
to the water,
washed them,
divided them and
ate them.

The raccoon wasnt the
only one
w h o
liked
t u r tle eggs.
Skunks
and large
snakes liked
them
too.
But unlike
the skunk
and the raccoon,
the
snake wont
come
back
every night for
more. One egg
will last it a week.
The
eggs
had been laid in
late May, but finally in
early August the baby turtles, which had not been
eaten, cracked. One of them
was Tilly. Her leathery shell
had stretched and stretched
till it cracked. She pushed
herself out and began digging to the top. It took a long
time but she finally broke
through the topsoil and saw
a whole new world. The walk
to the waters edge was dangerous. The nighttime predators wouldnt bother her
since it was the middle of the
afternoon. But just as they
reached the water, Swoop!,
a seagull carried off her baby
sister who had been walking beside her. Tilly slid into
the water. There a large rock
offered some protection. She
slid under the rock just as a
large bass rounded the stone
and carried off more of her
brothers and sisters. She
could live for at least 3 days
on the egg sac which she had
been hatched in.
On the third day she started feeling hungry. Carefully
she swam to the surface.
Some flies, a water spider
and a bee were floating on
the water. She ate 2 flies,
then wondered what to do.
She climbed onto the muddy
pond bank. In the center on
a lilypad sat a turtle her size.
She swam out to it.
Hi, my name is Thomas,
whats yours? the other turtle asked.
My name is Tilly, Tilly
answered politely.
Thomas & Tilly grew up
together.
And there the lifecycle of a
turtle begins again.
