Spring storm brings
rain, hail, flooding
Teen storm chaser drives into
flooded ditch, rescue crews
concerned by failure to report it
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT What has been an unpredictable year of weather brought its first severe
storm of the spring season last week, dropping golf-ball sized hail and flooding parts
of Anderson County.
Although the official rain total at the
Garnett Industrial Airport was 2.01 inches
of rain between April 2 and 3, southern and
southwestern parts of the county reported
receiving as much as 5 inches of rain. The
onslaught caused creeks to swell, flood-
ing the Cedar Valley Reservoir west of
Garnett. Greeley residents also reported
flooded roads in some areas, and Garnett
airport manager Gary Ecclefield said the
Southfork Creek overflowed its banks,
something he hadnt seen in the five years
he worked at the airport. The creek at one
time spilled across a new bridge on 1750
Road, also known as East Fourth Avenue,
east of Garnett.
The storm apparently caught a teenaged
storm chaser by surprise, as he slid off a road
and into a flooded ditch. Logan Burress, 18
of Bella Vista, Ark., was storm chasing in
the area when he slid off 600 Road between
Missouri and Montana Roads, according
to a report from Anderson County Sheriff

heaviest amounts.

GARNETT A proposal by a
Peoria, Ill., company to provide in-house medical care
to inmates at the Anderson
County Jail likely will save the
county more than $33,000.
The high cost of providing
healthcare to inmates became
an issue over the past few
years, as inmates apparently
took advantage of lax rules at
the jail to take care of longstanding medical issues. At one
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The sale of properties with delinquent taxes
helped Anderson County recoup
about $117,000, and will move
more than 50 properties onto
paying tax rolls.
The $117,000 represents the
amount paid for the 58 properties
and doesnt include fees paid by
the purchaser of the properties.
The tax sale took place March
24 at the Anderson County
Courthouse. About 70 potential
bidders attended the sale. The
total unpaid property taxes on
the 58 properties was more than
$373,000, which means the county recouped about 31 percent of
the total owed.
I was very pleased. It
was higher than I expected,
Anderson County Counselor
James Campbell, who organized
the sale, said.
Tax sales allow the government to recoup unpaid personal property taxes. Even if the
property is sold for less than
the amount of taxes owed, the
county will recoup some of the
money and the transfer of ownership is expected to at least
bring the properties back onto
countys tax rolls. The last delinquent personal property tax
sale was May 2004, although the
county had a delinquent mineral
rights sale in May 2010.
Of the properties sold
March 24, the largest amount
of overdue taxes was the former Arkhaven Nursing Home,

the previous meeting were approved as
presented.
Road and Bridge
Lester Welsh, Road Supervisor, met
with the commission. Dan Harden, BG

explained the Federal Highway Trust
Fund. The county could take the money
that is held in reserve for county projects
and purchase it for $.90 on the dollar.
The county could then use the money
for whatever they want. The other option
would be to leave the money in place
and use it for future projects in the
county.
Solid Waste
Scott Garrett, Solid Waste Supervisor,
met with the commission. The transfer
station was inspected by KDHE last
week and no infractions were found. He
has been looking for a vehicle for the
transfer station. He has found one at

for approximately $23,000. Commission
questioned the need for a vehicle at that
price. They would like for him to see if he
can get a vehicle for a lower price.

Jerry Wohler met with the commission. He questioned if the appraiser
works for the county or for the state.
He is concerned with the value that has
been placed on his residence.

STARR
January 2, 1925-April 2, 2014
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
Published April 8, 2014
Wilmer Clarke Starr, age 89, of
Bison, South Dakota, passed away
on Wednesday,
April 2, 2014,
at his home in
Gas, Kansas.
He was born
on January 2,
1925, at Welda,
Kansas, the son
of Karl S. and
Lena R. (Wiley)
Starr
Starr. He spent
his early years
on various farms in the Welda
community where his grandfather
Mervin Starr had settled in 1844. He
attended several rural schools until
he started the 7th grade when he
started going to Welda. He graduated from Welda High School in
1943. This was also the start of his
farming career which was the love
of his life until his passing. He had
planted over 70 years of crops, having planted his first crop when he
was a senior in high school and his
last 325 acre wheat crop in the fall
of 2013.
In 1946, Clarke had his own
truck and was spreading lime on
various farms in Anderson County.
When the government contracts
ran out, Clarke went to western
Kansas to haul grain for a custom
combiner. On his return through
eastern South Dakota, he asked
permission from his employer to
go to Meadow, South Dakota, to
visit his uncle Jim Starr. This was
the start of his adventures in the
Dakotas. He farmed land around
Meadow in 1947.
During the winter of 1948 Clarke
returned to Kansas. He and Ruby
Mitchell were married in Garnett,
Kansas on January 31, 1948, a marriage which lasted for over 66 years.
During the next several years they
farmed as many as seven different
places, the farthest being as much
as 100 miles apart.
Clarke planted his spring wheat
crops and followed the grain harvest with his combine crew during the summers. In the summer
of 1952 the harvesting was from
western Kansas to the Canadian
border. His combine was loaded in
the ditch that separated the United
States from Canada. He returned to
Meadow, South Dakota, to harvest
alfalfa seed down in the Wall, South
Dakota area.
A son, Wayne Starr, was born on
March 18, 1953, at the Iola, Kansas
hospital, being the first caesarean
birth that had taken place at that
hospital. The babys birth prevented
Rubys return to Dakota with Clarke
in the spring. It was a late planting
season. Bored by idleness, Clarke
purchased his first airplane and
made his first solo flight in a beautiful aluminum Luscombe airplane.
Several years later he delivered this
same plane to Pennsylvania.
Clarke added semi-trucks to his
life in the following years delivering
grain to Minneapolis, Denver, Salt
Lake, and Kansas City. To make this
possible and profitable he began
selling fertilizer in Minnesota and
North and South Dakota. For the
volume of fertilizer he sold, he won
two free trips to Acapulco, Mexico,
one to the Grand Bahamas, one
to Las Vegas, Nevada, and three
trips to Hawaii. He was able to take
Wayne and his wife Diann with him
on his last trip to Hawaii. While in
Hawaii he was hailed by a friend
from Lemmon, South Dakota.
Neither had known that the other
vas visiting there. He had to travel
a long distance before he was in an
area where he was not known.
In his love for the soil, he
became involved with selling Noble
Machinery which he purchased
from Canada. This machinery
involved the under cutting of the
soil, which kept the dry Dakota
land from blowing. He introduced
this machinery into the Bison,
South Dakota area to start with.
In 1955 the Starrs basically
settled at Bison, South Dakota.
Clarkes love of flying led him to
purchase his 1959 piper airplane.
He obtained his commercial flying
license and started his years of
crop spraying. The largest one day
of spraying was a 960 acre field. It
was a section and a half of straight
flying. Try telling that to the people
of Florida. They were used to small
60 acre patches. The days started at
day break and ended at dark. One
time he was starting to fly just as
the dance crowd was going home.
Clarke sprayed his own crops with
this same little airplane not so very
many years ago. Clarkes last flying took place a little over a year
ago. By this time he was flying his
twin Comanche. When he became
involved in the spraying business
he quit making the trips south for
the western Kansas harvesting season.
Since he had his own farming
acres and his own trucks, Clarke
began building the elevator and
grain bins out on his farm, which
led to getting the elevator and fertilizer licenses. The grain purchasing
continued for many years until he
sold the land in 2004.
Finally the years began to catch
up on this hard working man. The
South Dakota winters became harder and harder to endure. Clarke
returned to the land of his birth
in eastern Kansas. He farmed here
until last year. Each summer he
returned to his beloved Dakota
land. Each winter he came again
to Welda, Kansas where he was
born. The trips to the doctors and
hospitals in Kansas became more
and more frequent. Still his love of
farming never decreased. He experienced considerable pleasure even
in the summer of 2013 out in the
fields on his tractor.
Clarke was a 60 year member
of the Masonic Lodge at Garnett,
Kansas. He was a 50 year member of the Fairview Chapter of the
Eastern Star at Bison, where he
was three times the Worthy Patron
of that order. For many years he
was a member of the A.O.P.A. flying
organization. He also was a member
of Farm Bureau for many years.
The greatest joy of Clarkes life
was his son, Wayne, five grandchildren, and three great grandchildren. Each year he looked forward
to their visits to his house at Bison.
The Welda High School alumni
reunion was also a looked forward
to event. He traveled for many miles
to return to this yearly visit and
didnt miss very many of them. He
enjoyed showing off his granddaughters when they were able to
accompany him.
Clarke had two philosophies in
life. The first, THE IMPOSSIBLE
just takes longer. The second,
Strangers are just friends I havent
met yet. I dont think that he ever
met a stranger. He loved to visit
with everyone.
He was preceded in death by his
parents; an infant brother, and a
three month old sister.
Clarke leaves to mourn his passing his wife, Ruby Starr; son Wayne
Starr and wife Diann of Estelline,
South Dakota; one grandson David
Starr of Milbank, South Dakota; four
granddaughters Carol Jergenson
and husband Ryan and great grandson Zane of Fargo, North Dakota;

which had $184,849.23 overdue.
Although the property sold for
significantly less than that, its
sale was a success for Anderson
County. Thats because the
county itself purchased the
property for $4,516. The property sits next to the countys road
department shop and rural fire
department. Its expected the
county will raze the building,
which is in very poor condition.
County officials already have
discussed how to handle asbestos removal when the building
is demolished.
Some properties sold for
more than the amount owed.
The county can only collect the
amount of past due property
taxes and interest, and must in
some way refund any additional
money to the previous owner.
Campbell said in one case, the
previous owner is at Anderson
County Jail and owes the county restitution for his crimes.
Campbell and other county
officials are investigating the
possibility of using money from
the sale of his property toward
restitution.
The largest amount paid
for a property was $37,000.
Two properties sold for $14,000
each, and another for $10,000.
Campbell said he didnt know
details about the properties,
but he believed the higher prices were paid for properties that
included residential homes or
buildings. The bidding started
at a minimum of $20 and several properties sold for around
that amount, he said. In most
cases, those properties were for
small chunks of land, such as a
triangle or odd-sized property

more than 20 years ago, and the
plastic housing for the letters
has turned yellow.
The endowment association
previously looked at replacing
the sign with an electronic version, but found the cost would
be a minimum of $8,000 to
$10,000 for a very basic, onesided model. Group members
estimated it now would cost
about $12,000 for a double-sided
sign, which they would prefer.
Doering died suddenly in
February 2013. In June of that
year, the endowment association dedicated their annual 5K
run/walk event in his honor.
They plan to dedicate this
years 5K run/walk on June
7 in his honor as well, Connie
Rockers, with the endowment
association, said.
Last years run/walk event
brought in $5,000, and the
Goppert Foundation, which
owns area banks including
GSSB, matched that amount.
Other groups also gave donations, and the fund currently
is $10,600. Rockers said she
expects this years event to
bring in enough money to pay
for the sign plus the groups
annual scholarship commitments. She said she hopes the
endowment association will be
able to donate $12,000 for the
sign after the June 7 event.
School board members said
the new sign likely will need to
be repositioned, and they would
prefer to have the sign placed
higher on a pole rather than sitting on the ground like the current sign. They would prefer to
have the sign positioned so that
travelers on K-31 could see the
sign from either direction.

that likely was sliced off during a property transfer at some
point. In many cases, the new
owner is an adjoining property
owner.
Campbell is completing
paperwork to finalize the transfers of deeds to the property,
which is expected to happen
soon. Although the people who
purchased properties in the tax
sale technically are the owners, they wont be able to prove
ownership until the deed has
been recorded.
The recent tax sale included
properties that were delinquent
for about eight to nine years,
up to 2006. Campbell said he
expects to have another tax sale
within the next calendar year
that will clear up delinquent
properties up to about 2011. The
next sale likely wont have as
many properties, he said.
Delinquent tax sales require
a significant amount of paperwork and behind-the-scenes
procedures, Campbell said. The
county had been trying to organize a sale for several years, but
it kept getting delayed. Even
after it seemed everything was
in order, the most recent sale
was delayed because a property
owner filed a protest. Campbell
said he has handled about four
tax sales and this was the first
time anyone filed a protest.
Campbell handles the tax sale
as part of regular counselor
duties and does not receive
additional compensation.
Although county commissioners have said they would
like to have tax sales on a more
regular basis, Campbell said
its reasonable for a county the
size of Anderson to have a sale
between every five to 10 years.

meeting. She updated commissioners on changes that had
been made since she arrived
in 2007, and outlined specific
systems at each of the citys
departments. Kinney said she
is seeking estimates to replace
or update about 13 computers,
laptops or workstations that use
the XP system out of a total of
27 in various departments, not
including the airport or library,
which have IT agreements with
the FAA and Southeast Kansas
Library System, respectively.
Kinney said she hoped to have
the improvements done soon,
but did not offer specifics about
cost or timeframe to have the
new workstations up and running.
The city will need to replace
or upgrade eight of 14 workstations at City Hall, two workstations at the sewer plant, one
at the police department, and
two computers at the citys
housing authority office. All of
those computers use Windows
XP, and most will be upgraded to Windows 7. Kinney said
some of the programs the city
uses are not compatible with
Windows 8, which is the newest
operating system available.
Some departments have IT
contracts with outside agencies. The police department,
for example, uses an XP system
to submit reports to the Kansas
Bureau of
Investigation.
Although the KBI still uses the
XP system, the police have had
problems sending reports and
plan to replace that computer
and submit reports another
way. The airport has one computer system through FAA,
and one computer through the
city. The librarys computers
are obtained through the SEK
library system. The library has
14 workstations; of those, eight
use XP. SEK plans to update or
replace most of the librarys
computers, although they plan
to leave one offline XP computer in the childrens section
because it has childrens games
that arent compatible with
newer systems.
Kinney said she has made
significant changes to the citys
IT system since she arrived,
such as installing new security
features and improving backup
systems and procedures. She
said it took considerable time
and effort to compile the report,
which looked at several details
in each of the city departments.
In addition to the computers
and workstations, the report
also included details about
the type of Internet available
at each department. Internet
speeds and availability vary by
department, typically depending on what package was available for the best deal at the time
the city added Iinternet to a
department.
Peine thanked Kinney for the
report. He said he saw numerous areas where the city could
improve efficiency, and said he
would meet with her to discuss
those items.
Typically these end up
being living documents, he
said, adding that he expected
the report was simply a starting point and would be modified over time.

EDITORIAL
Presto! More education money in Kansas
Santa Claus returned to Kansas education Sunday night with $126 million in new
money, courtesy of a State Supreme Court
somehow now in charge of state education
funding and a Legislature willing to pay big
money for less educratic control of local
education.
Its the logical follow up to what has
become a familiar refrain in Kansas
Education, as teachers and administrators
stand with their palms upturned and their
pockets turned inside out, lamenting the
constant decline in education dollars, and
the heroic state court system which has
deemed itself the Magnificent 7 of beleaguered education in the Sunflower State.
We could argue all day about the justifications for the Kansas Supreme Courts
decision last March that commanded the
Legislature to put more money into schools
to equalize education between poor and
rich districts in the state. We could talk
about the fact that Kansas already spends
more than 55% of its budget on K-12 education. We could argue the favorite point
among conservatives, that education funding is actually way, way higher once you add
all funds together than just the base state
aid amount paid per-student that educators
are always complaining about. We could
argue the problems in education are as
much or more social in nature than financial and that everything ultimately comes
back to messed-up households and parents
that dont participate in their kids formal
education process, and an education system
too neutered of effective discipline to handle
them.
We could argue all that, as we have for
the past 20 years or so in Kansas, but we
wouldnt get any further than we already
have.
So despite the anemic economy the conservative-controlled Legislature opened its
wallet, but in doing so insisted on including
some education reform measures which
conservatives have wanted for some time.
For starters:
Allow businesses and corporations to
make tax-deductible contributions for scholarships to private schools for low-income or
special needs. This is a hint toward the old
argument about school choice, or taking

some of the tax money we spend on public
school in Kansas and allowing it to be spent
for private school costs, in an effort to make
public schools compete. Public schools are
typicall against it, of course.
Provisions in the bill make it easier
for school boards and administrators to
fire teachers they dont want anymore by
eliminating their due process rights. That
basically guaranteed the right to a hearing
regarding the firing and some trip mileage
charged by the KNEA representative who
always attends the hearing to cajole the
school board into keeping that teacher on.
Conservatives and even some administrators have wanted this one for years, they
say, so districts could run tighter ships.
Obviously, teachers and their union, the
KNEA, oppose it.
The bill would also relax requirements
for teacher licensing when districts hire
instructors with real-world professional
experience in areas like math, science,
finance and technical disciplines. That way
someone who retired to your town after
a 35-year career in pharmacy could teach
chemistry at the local school if the district
was in a pinch.
Presuming the governor signs the bill
as it stood yesterday, you can bet on this:
Though most people wont know the background on this new law or the particularities of it, its going to be a big, big deal within the education establishment in Kansas
particularly because of the due process
clause sacrificed to get the funding.
What is it they say about being careful
what you wish for?

Why the renewable fuels standard matters so much for Kansans
When it comes to developing alternatives to
fossil fuels and foreign oil, should the United
States move forward or backward?
Thats the issue before the federal
Environmental Protection Administration
(EPA) as it decides whether to reverse its proposal to reduce the amount of biofuels that
must be blended into the nations motor fuel
supply.
The EPAs proposal would weaken one of
the most successful energy policies ever implemented in the US, the Renewable Fuel Standard
(RFS).
Supported by both parties in both Houses
of Congress, signed into law by then-President
Bush, and backed by President Obama, the RFS
has nurtured the growth of the US ethanol
industry that supports almost 390,000 direct and
indirect jobs, added $44 billion to the economy
in 2013, paid $8.3 billion in taxes, reduced our
dependence on imported oil from 60 percent in
2005 to 41 percent in 2012, and cuts greenhouse
gas emissions by 25 to 40 percent, compared to
gasoline.
As I testified at an EPA public hearing in
December, Kansans have a stake in the RFS. In
spite of the national downturn, the US ethanol
industry has revived rural economies and created good jobs 46 percent paying more than
$75,000 a year, 96 percent providing health
insurance, and 92 percent offering retirement
plans. By spending $36.1 billion on crops and
other goods and services, ethanol provides a
stable market for farmers and local businesses.
Now the nations ninth largest ethanol
producer, Kansas 12 ethanol plants support
about 13,000 jobs, while creating a market for
about 183 million bushels of sorghum and corn.
Thanks largely to ethanol, Kansas has the
nations ninth lowest unemployment rate.
Preserving the US ethanol industry and
LOCAL COMMENTARY
JEFF OESTMANN, EKAE
the policies that promote it are intensely personal for me. I have proudly served in this
industry since 1996 and am currently CEO of
East Kansas Agri-Energy in Garnett, a rural
community with a population of about 3,000 in
Anderson County.
As the US ethanol production grew from less
than 1 billion gallons to more than 13 billion, I
saw the positive impact on local economies in
Kansas and throughout the Midwest. Before
our facility, Anderson County was one of the
poorest counties in Kansas. Now, with our
companys substantial investment in ethanol
production, the area is beginning to boom and
thrive.
But all this economic progress could be
reversed if the EPA weakens the RFS. This
proposal could destabilize rural economies, just
as farmers are expecting a near-record corn
crop, while jeopardizing tens of thousands of
high-paying, family-supporting, jobs that cant
be outsourced overseas.
Moreover, the EPAs proposal would strand
billions of dollars of private capital investments
by renewable fuel producers who have brought
the industry from infancy to maturity because
of the stability provided by the RFS. With the
industry on the cusp of commercializing the
next generation of even more environmentallyfriendly biofuels, the EPA must not throw this
progress into reverse gear.
As a Marine Corps veteran, I am proud that
the ethanol industry reduces our dangerous
dependency on foreign oil. As our country
reduces the $1 billion-a-day that we spend on
foreign oil, often from unfriendly or unstable
countries, we will stop paying for the petroleum
profits of our enemies. And we will have less
need to defend oil routes and put our troops in
harms way, at a terrible human and financial
cost.
If the EPAs proposal takes effect, the losers
will include economic growth and job creation,
especially in rural America, as well as our natural environment and our national effort to end
our addiction to imported oil.
The only winner will be Big Oil, which desperately wants to maintain its monopoly over
the nations gasoline pumps and fuel tanks.
Having known since 2007 that the RFS would
require ethanol blends greater than 10 percent, the oil companies have refused to make
the investments in the infrastructure to offer
motorists more choices at the pump. Now, the
oil companies and the EPA are using the resulting blend wall as a justification for weakening the RFS.
The RFS program was designed to force
the oil industry to change, for the sake of our
economy, our environment, and our energy
security. Lets keep moving forward.
Kansans should tell the EPA, loud and clear,
Dont mess with the RFS.
Jeff Oestmann is a former U.S. Marine Corps
Embassy Guard and President/CEO of East

Get ready to take a gamble with the legislature
While the Legislature is out of the Statehouse
for its Spring Break, lets take a little spin at the
roulette wheel.
Theres a game of chance going on in the
governors office, and it will mean jobs, entertainment and state tax revenues, or…not.
Spin the wheel, and the governor either
signs or doesnt sign or allows to become law
without his signature a bill that would allow
someone with about $55.5 million in cash and
chips to build a casino in either Crawford or
Cherokee counties in southeast Kansas.
The area which has seen across-the-stateline casinos sprout like crabgrass in Oklahoma
needs some economic development, and a
casino sure is one.
Its probably not odd that casinos dont make
it into most of the governors eco-devo speeches,
or jobs creation speeches or cut-income-taxes
speeches.
This is eco-devo with a little moral/social
sandbag of gambling riding on it.
And actually, the chance for a casino in
southeast Kansas would mirror the southwest
Kansas casino at Dodge City, where to encourage the business, the state reduced the capital
investment requirement from the $225 million
for the Kansas City area to $50 million. And
cutting the cash-up-front privilege fee for get-
STATE COMMENTARY
MARTIN HAWVER, At The Rail
ting the casino license sorta like a tip to the
blackjack dealer after a good hand brings
the price to $5.5 million instead of the big-city
casino fee of $25 million.
The investment requirements? Well, in the
Kansas City area where theres lots to do, a
little more glamour is demanded to make sure
that the casino draws a crowd than in far-west
Kansas and southeast Kansas. And, of course,
the nice thing about playing slot machines is
that people play slot machines in a pole barn
if they have to…or maybe the back room of a
fraternal organization.
But there is this gambling/spend the rent
money social overtone that non-gamblers refer
to, and it turns out to be a fairly interesting
little social policy decision for the governor.
Socially conservative Kansans would prefer
their fellow Kansans spend their money on
painting their houses, feeding their children or
probably attending even R-rated movies instead
of putting money into slot machines or card
games.
At some point, you have to figure that Gov.
Sam Brownback already has that conservative
crowd, and if it gets ticked off that he allows
the casino, well, everyone makes mistakes. But,
if he vetoes the bill to please the conservatives
who are already going to be voting for him, does
he upset the eco-devo crowd that likes to see
bulldozers moving dirt and steelworkers welding building frames?
Interesting little decision coming up here.
And, the governor tends to be tidy enough
that nobodys going to believe he lost the bill in
a stack of old newspapers and candy wrappers
on his desk.

high winds weve been having they
are being called out so many times
Ive lost count. They seem to no sooner get back and get their equipment
put away and cleaned up and within
the hour theyre called back out for
another fire and its been going on
like this the last two weeks. I just
wanted to let these dedicated firefighters know how much we appreciate their service.
Hey everybody, watch out for the nota-speed-trap, speed trap on West 7th.
It sure is hard to maintain the correct
speed there since it was changed but
the officer there at the corner each
night will help you remember.
How did a zoning change get approved
for the monstrous storage building on
Hayes Street behind the hospital in a
residential subdivision? Does Garnett
not have a zoning board?
This is to thank the Garnett Fire
department for their very helpful
work last week. We had a little fire
and they were very prompt, prepared
and very professional and they did a
great job. I think we are very fortunate to have such a great fire department for this great small town.

Vikings baseball lose two ACHS Track teams compete at Baldwin
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
WELLSVILLE – The Central
Heights baseball team opened
their season March 31 with two
disappointing defeats at the
hands of the Wellsville Eagles.
The first game of the doubleheader was a pitchers dual
that was won by Wellsivlle 2-0.
Jordan Horstick pitched 4 1/3
innings, allowed one hit, struck
out 10 batters and only gave up
one unearned run.
He was tremendous for his
first outing of the year. He gave
us a chance to win the game,
Coach Jason Brown said when
talking about the solid start on
the mound by Horstick.
As well as the pitching and
defense was, the offense was
equally inept. Horstick and
Will Thoele each had one hit,
but that was all the Vikings
were able to manage for the
game.
We only had two hits on the
night and didnt perform well
at the plate. We faced a good
pitcher in (Shamus) Kearney,
but we have to do better to get
where we want to be, Brown
said.
Kearney of Wellsville tossed
the two-hitter and struck out 14
batters in the process.
In the late game, the Vikings
came up just short again losing
the game 7-5.
Defensively the team let
down the pitching staff. Tristan
Davis and Coby Robertson combined for six innings as they
allowed seven runs, just three
of them earned.
Horstick led the team offensively going 1-2, scoring three
runs, one run batted in and
walked twice.
Despite the five runs, Coach
Brown knows his club had their
opportunities.
We left a lot of base runners on base. We left the bases
loaded two innings in a row
with no outs and didnt even
put the ball in play, he stated
frustratingly. We have a lot
of little things that we need to
fix to get better. This gives us a
chance to know what we need
to work on.
ACHS girls softball swept
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
CARBONDALE Thursday,
March 28, the AC girls hit the
road and lost both games of a
doubleheader to the Santa Fe
Trail Chargers.
Santa Fe jumped up early
on the Bulldogs as they scored
2 runs in the first and 4 in the
second to take an early 6-0 lead
on their way to a 10-3 victory.
The AC girls got their first
run in the third inning. Magner
led off the inning with a walk
and was able to get around to
score to cut the lead to 6-1.
The Chargers responded by
scoring two runs in the bottom
half of both the fourth and fifth
innings.
The Bulldogs were able to
plate a run in both the sixth and
seventh inning, but it wasnt
nearly enough.
The final game of the day
saw the Chargers control the
game, 10-0.
Santa Fe Trail took command in the bottom of the first.
The first three batters reached
and scored on their way to an
early 4-0 lead.
The Chargers put the game
away by scoring 3 runs in the
fourth and 2 more in the fifth.
Bulldogs swept by Santa Fe Trail
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
CARBONDALE The ACHS
Bulldogs baseball team made
their first road trip Thursday,
March 27, as they were swept by
the Santa Fe Trail Chargers.
In the early game, the
Bulldogs took a 2-0 lead after the
third inning as senior Tanner
Lickteig hit a 2-run double to
give his team the advantage.
Preson Emperley, the starting Bulldog pitcher, ran into
some troubles in the fifth and
sixth innings after holding the
Chargers scoreless up to that
point.
Santa Fe Trail scored four
runs in the bottom of the fifth
and two more in the sixth to put
the Bulldogs into a 6-2 hole they
werent able to recover from.
Defensively we were making good team plays until the
last few innings, Coach Ball
said referring to a dropped fly
ball and balk that both resulted
in runs scoring. Offensively
we hit the ball well and were
able to get a few runs across,
he said.
Anderson County did add a
run in the seventh on a double
from LIckteig, but that was
where the rally stopped.
Lickteig led the team offensively with two hits and drove
in all three runs. Tyler Woken
contributed with three singles
and a run scored.
The second game of the doubleheader was dominated by
the Chargers.
Santa Fe Trail scored 12
runs in the first inning and five
more in the third to knock off
the Bulldogs 17-2 in just three
innings.
Again we had a lack of focus
for the second game on defense.
We didnt make the routine
plays on defense to keep the
game going past three innings
to give our offense a chance
to get something going, Coach
Ball stated.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
BALDWIN The Bulldog boys
and girls track teams traveled
to Baldwin for their first track
meet of the season April 3 and
came away with mixed results.
The boys team struggled
to place throughout the meet,
but with only 9 athletes it will
be very difficult to compete
against much larger teams.
Tyler Woodard finished third
in the long jump with a jump of
20 feet 3 inches. Woodard was
the only athlete on the boys
side to place.
The girls squad had numerous members place at the
meet.
Sophomores
Makayla
Kuesser finished second in the
high jump with a jump of 5 feet
2 inches, Reagan Jirak picked
up an eighth place finish with a
heave of 101 feet 8 inches in the
javelin and Jessica McCullar
long jumped 14 feet 8 inches to
finish in fifth place.
Senior Tayler Porter finished fourth in the 2000 Meter
Steeplechase with a time of 9:34.
Right behind Porter was another sophomore, Eliza Sibley, who
finished the race in 9:48.
In relay events, the girls finished sixth in the 4×800 meter
relay and fourth in the 4×100
meter relay with a time of
53.89.
Kuesser placed sixth in the
100 meter dash with a time of
13.73 seconds.
Wellsville manhandles Vikings softball team
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
WELLSVILLE The Wellsville Eagles
werent gracious hosts March 31 to the
Central Heights Vikings softball team as
they dominated both games, 13-0 and 14-1.
In the season opener, Wellsville pounded
out 16 hits as they cruised to an easy 14-1
victory.
Central Heights actually got on the
board first in the top of the first inning, but
Wellsville would take control after knotting the game at one following the opening
frame.
The Eagles would go on to score four in
the second, six in the third and three more
in the fourth to round out the scoring.
The second game of the doubleheader
didnt go any better. Wellsville scored 13
runs on 13 hits and the Vikings were shutout and picked up only one hit for the
game.
The Eagles scored three runs in each of
the first inning and tacked on four more in
the fourth to pull out the 13-0 victory.
Bulldogs win season opener, drop second game
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – The Anderson
County Bulldog baseball
team won their season opener
Tuesday, March 25, 4-2 over the
Jayhawk-Linn Jayhawks. The
second game of the doubleheader would see the Jayhawks
roll 20-0 over the Bulldogs.
In the first game, the
Jayhawks broke into the scoring column first with one run
in the top of the first inning to
take an early 1-0 lead.
The Bulldogs were silenced
for the first two innings before
breaking through for four runs
in the bottom of the third to
take a 4-1 lead.
Ryan Alley tripled in the
inning as he picked up the only
extra base hit in the game for
the Bulldogs.
Bryce Dieker, Tyler Wolken,
Preston Emperley and Mitchell
Highberger all drove in a run
during the third inning rally.
With a combination of solid
pitching and defense for both
teams, the only other run
scored was in the seventh and
final inning as the Jayhawks
scored one more.
Emperley, who is a sophomore, led the way for the
Bulldogs offensively with two
hits, scored one run, drove in
one run and had a stolen base.
Sophomore Mason Skiles
went five strong innings allow-
Iola sweeps Bulldogs
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
IOLA – The ACHS Bulldogs
traveled to Iola to take on
the Mustangs Tuesday, April
1, and lost a pair of games.
The Mustangs knocked off the
Bulldogs by scores of 7-2 and
9-5 to pull off the sweep.
In the first game of the doubleheader, Iola took a 4-0 lead
heading into the fourth thanks
to three runs in the bottom of
the third off a Mustang homerun to give them some breathing room.
The Bulldogs were able to
muster one run in the fourth
inning but the Mustangs
answered with two in the bottom half of the inning to lead
6-1.
Both teams rounded out the
game by just scoring one more
run each to account for the final
score of 7-2.
Preston Emperley and
Mitchell Highberger led the
Bulldogs with two hits each.
Defensively we made
most plays and gave ourselves
a chance to be in the game.
Offensively we started out slow
and didnt make the most of
our opportunities, head coach
Jeremy Ball said regarding
his teams performance in the
opener.
In the second game of the
night, Iola jumped out to an
early 5-0 lead as they scored 2
runs in the first and three runs
in the second inning.
A leadoff homerun in the
third inning by Highberger cut
the lead to 5-1, but Iola didnt
allow the Bulldogs to gain any
momentum as they shut them
down not allowing any more
runs until the sixth inning.
The Bulldogs did rally for
three runs in the sixth inning
and were threatening in the
seventh before a strikeout
ended the game with the bases
loaded in the 9-5 defeat.
Ryan Alley, Zach Schroeder
and Mason Skiles all picked up
two hits in the second game.
One of the hits for Schroeder
was a double as he drove in two
runs for the game.
Ball, once again, was happy
with the team defensively but
knows his team has to get off
to better starts to win some
games. We had another slow
start offensively, but came alive
in the sixth inning and had the
bases loaded in the seventh. We
just werent able to take advantage. We are close to putting a
full game together and when
that happens well be looking
good, he said.
ing just one run on five hits.
He also had five strikeouts
and walked three batters in
the impressive performance to
open the season.
Head coach Jeremy Ball
commented about the season
opening victory. Defensively
we made plays that good teams
make. Offensively we started
out slow but caught some
momentum in the middle of
the game.
The second game wouldnt
yield the same results for the
Bulldogs. The Jayhawks scored
seven runs in the first and 12
more in the third on their way
to a dominating 20-0 victory.
Jayhawk-Linn came out
ready to hit the baseball (in
the second game). Defensively
we werent focused on making the routine plays that we
were making in the first game,
Coach Ball said. You give a
good hitting team like them
extra chances and they will
make you pay.
Tanner Lickteig and Wolken
each had one hit, but that was
all that the Bulldogs were able
to muster for the game that
only lasted three innings.
Dieker started the game on
the mound for the Bulldogs and
gave up eight runs, just two of
them earned, on seven hits in
the first two innings.
Vincent Trujillo came on in
relief in the third inning allowing 12 runs on 11 hits.

That guys a real card
Use your business card as a
modern business weapon; think
of it as a tiny 3.25×2 inch ninja
star you can fling with Jackie
Chan precision and speed. Its
a great, but underused tool to
help you sell stuff.
A quick warning though: If
youre using your home computer to print your own business cards BE SURE they are
of proper quality. Nothing says
I do this on the side more
than a cheesy-looking homemade business card complete
with tear-away perforation
edges, ink smears and typographical errors. I print business cards so I cant say Im
unbiased but when you have a
professional printer print your
cards you get the benefit of his
grammar and language skills
and a higher quality product.
A decent set of 500-1,000 cards
will cost you $50-$70 and will be
well worth every penny.
You may already have a
great set of cards, and they
may be pushed back to the back
of your desk behind that old
sandwich wrapper and the D
batteries which have probably
gone bad by now. Take them
out and set them somewhere
youll see them every day. Put
some in your shirt pocket (or
somewhere they wont get dogeared from wear every day) and
follow these tips to use them to
generate sales.
1) On the counter: If you
have a storefront with a register counter, be sure to put them
out for the taking, and be sure
your clerks drop one in every
sack or bag that a customer
takes out.
2) Anytime you leave a tip,
leave your card.
3) Theres obviously a fine
line between card drops and littering, so dont overdo this, but

Review Publisher
be sure to leave cards on public bulletin boards or at coffee
shops, etc. You can even go into
neighborhoods or door-to-door
in business areas and leave a
card. Some may get tossed, but
some may not.
4) Slip your card into video
cases when you rent movies.
And dont forget when you mail
a bill or pay your taxes or send
anybody a check for anything
drop in a card.
5) If you go to a fair or an
expo even if you dont have
your own booth chat with
vendors and give them your
card.
Make it a game with yourself. Carry cards with you
every day, and think of a new
place each day to leave a card.
Its one of the cheapest ways to
market yourself and generate
sales.

GARNETT – Anderson
County Hospitals Women
in Training program begins
Thursday, April 10, with the
goal to help area women better understand the importance of physical fitness and
give them the tools needed to
lead a healthier lifestyle.
Research shows that exercise can slow or help prevent
heart disease, stroke, high
blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis (bone loss),
and loss of muscle mass. Yet,
according to the Presidents
Council on Fitness, Sports
and Nutrition, less than 5
percent of adults participate
in 30 minutes of physical
activity each day, and only
one in three adults receive
the recommended amount of
physical activity each week.
Women in Training is an
eight-week program that
offers women of all ages and
fitness levels the opportunity
to participate in a self-paced
walk/run and cross-training
series. Participants will also
have the opportunity to talk
with medical experts about
improving their health and
reviewing their baseline
health numbers.
The program will run
from April 10 through May
29 at the Depot building next
to the Prairie Spirit Rail
Trail in Garnett, Kan. Two
sessions will be offered each
Thursday and participants
may choose to attend at 5:15
p.m. or 6:15 p.m. Each session
will include a 45-minute-long
walk/run/cross-train session
at each womans pace, and a
15-minute talk by a health
care professional. During
these talks, our health care
experts will share the latest information on heart
and breast health, nutrition,
cross training and other
health and wellness topics.
The cost to participate in the
eight-week program is $35.
Free childcare is provided.
For no additional charge,
participants receive a cholesterol profile, thyroid and
glucose check, body mass
index (BMI) screening and
weight and waist circumference measurement. Vitamin
D testing also will be offered
for an additional charge of
$25.

This vintage Lone Ranger Deputy Badge was found while
metal detecting about 10 years ago.
Do you have your badge?
I bet several of you remember this old toy badge. What
Im wondering is how many
of you actually wore one of
these badges. Better yet, are
there any of you who happens to have one still in your
possession? There were over
90 Lone Ranger badges of all
kinds known to have existed
in years past.
I found this Vintage
Lone Ranger Deputy Badge
#1195627 in our lawn on
North Walnut while metal
detecting the back yard some
10 years ago.
THE DEPUTY PLEDGE
Always to tell the truth
To obey my parents or
guardian
To study hard at school
Always play fair
To be kind to birds and
animals
To be careful crossing the
streets
Not to hitch-hike or hang
on behind autos
Not to play in the streets
To eat three square meals
each day, including a good
breakfast
To help my country in
every way I can.
The Lone Ranger was a fictional masked former Texas
Ranger who fought injustice
in the American Old West
with his Indian side kick and
friend, Tonto.
Call (785) 448-6244 for
local archeology information.
The Lone Ranger was
played by several actors,but
the one we knew and loved
most was Clayton Moore.
Tonto was played by
more than one actor also,
but the one we knew was
Jay Silverheels, who was a
Mohawk from Six Nations
Indian Reserve in Ontario,
Canada.
Clayton Moore born as
Jack Carlton Moore on Sept.
14, 1914, in Chicago, Ill. He
died of a heart attack Dec. 28,

Do you see the trouble we are in?
The Book of Nehemiah
chronicles the rebuilding of
the city walls of Jerusalem
by a Jewish servant named
Nehemiah. Nehemiah served
as cupbearer for the Persian
king. He received distressing
news about his native land.
The walls around the city
were still in ruins although
the project to rebuild the
city, and its Temple had been
underway for many years. So
Nehemiah went to Jerusalem
on special assignment by the
king to oversee the rebuilding
of the city.
In Chapter 2 Nehemiah
inspects the walls around the
city. In 2:17 he says to the
people, Do you see the trouble we are in, how Jerusalem
lies in ruins with its gates
burned. The city had lain in
ruins for almost 150 years. An
earlier attempt to rebuild the
Weekly
Devotional
by David Bilderback
wall had been stopped. The
people had become accustom
to the deplorable condition of
the city and had given no further thought to rebuilding it.
This is the same thing that
happens in our lives today.
We never seem to be able to
rise above our circumstances
and soon we are accustom to
whatever condition we find
ourselves. Perfectly willing
to admit we can probably do
nothing to alleviate the problem. This applies to individuals as well as families,
churchs or businesses. In
order to ever move beyond
this state some type of leadership is required.
Through
Nehemiahs
strong leadership the people
rebuilt the walls and gates of
the city and at the same time
the people found their identity again as Gods covenant
people. Just as in the days of
Nehemiah when an attitude
of indifference had allowed
the people to lapse into a life
style that was unacceptable
to God so today we are faced
with the same issue.
Because we have legislated God out of most areas of
our lives we have now grown
accustom to this landscape,
a life without Godly influence, just as the Israelites
had grown accustom to their
beautiful city being in ruins.
We are willing to accept
behavior today that only a

The Garnett Public Library

This months book is The
Memory Keepers Daughter
by Kim Edwards. Leading our

Henderson.
A brilliantly crafted, stunning debut for Kim Edwards,
The
Memory
Keepers
Daughter articulates a silent
fear close to every parent: What
would happen if you lost your
child, and she grew up without
you? Based on this novel, A &
E Television Network created
a Lifetime Movie drama by the
same title, which aired in 2008.
On a winter night in 1964, Dr.
David Henry is forced by a blizzard to deliver his own twins.
His son, born first, is perfectly
healthy. Yet when his daughter
is born, he sees immediately
that she has Downs syndrome.
Rationalizing it as a need to
protect Norah, his wife, he
makes a split-second decision
that will alter all their lives forever. He asks his nurse to take
the baby away to an institution
and never to reveal the secret.
But Caroline, the nurse, cannot
leave the infant. Instead, she
disappears into another city to
raise the child herself. So begins
the story that unfolds over a
quarter of a century-in which
these two families, ignorant of
each other, are yet bound by
the fateful decision made that

few years ago would not have
been acceptable. It is presented under the false pretense of new found freedoms.
But freedom without accountability only brings failure and
disappointment. Nehemiah
pointed out to the people their
deplorable condition.
Instead of praying to God
for him to show us what his
will is for our lives we need
to recognize the trouble we
are in and correct it. Then
and only then will we be able
to do the will of God. There
will be no startling revelation
from God. We will then be
performing the will of God for

Notice to vacate roads
Notice of Public Hearing
(First Published in the Anderson County
Review, April 8, 2014)
Notice is hereby given that the Anderson
County Board of County Commissioners will
hold a public hearing pursuant to the provisions
of K.S.A. 68.102a to consider vacating:
Main Street and Depot Avenue and any
alleys lying North of abandoned railroad in
Selma, Kansas, described as follows:
Main Street and Depot Avenue and any
alleys lying North and West of the abandoned
Kansas City & Pacific Railroad in the unincorporated town of Selma, Kansas all which

Now, Valentine is looking
at a healthcare service to provide routine visits from a nurse
or physician assistant (PA).
Although there still will be
times when an inmate requires
treatment at a hospital or other
medical facility, the nurse or PA
can determine when the situation is an emergency and when
the inmate can be treated at the
jail. He also plans to require
inmates to pay a $20 copay each
time they see a doctor, and the
costs will be assessed against
them or added to their restitution.
Valentine said he expects to
decide soon between two bids to
provide the healthcare. The two
proposals vary only slightly
when it comes to providing routine visits, but there is significant differences when it comes
to providing prescription drugs
and over-the-counter medications.
Anderson County Hospital
submitted a proposal with an
annual cost of $39,108. under
their proposal, a physician
assistant would visit inmates
weekly.
Advanced
Correctional
Healthcare, a company based
in Peoria, Ill., that specializes in providing healthcare to
correctional institutions, submitted a bid for $38,131. The
company would provide nurse
visits on a weekly basis, and
doctor visits every-other-week,
as well as extensive training to
jail personnel and better insurance coverage in the event of
is located in Section 17, Township 22 South,
Range 21 East of the 6th P.M. in Anderson
County, Kansas.
Said public hearing will be held at
9:15 a.m., April 14, 2014, in the Anderson
County Annex, 409 South Oak Street, Garnett,
Kansas.
Any person concerned with the proposed
road vacation may attend the public hearing or
submit written comments, opposed or in support, to the Anderson County Board of County
Commissioners.

malpractice or other healthcare-related lawsuits. The big
difference between the two is
that Advanced Healthcare also
would provide prescription
drugs and over-the-counter
medications.
The jail spent about $27,000
on prescriptions and over-thecounter medications last year,
so the proposal from Advanced
Healthcare essentially would
save the county that cost. The
ACH proposal would not.
Valentine said he has been
working with ACH because he
would prefer to give the business to a local vendor. However,
he said the proposal from
Advanced Healthcare essentially is about $28,000 lower, so
he is more inclined to accept
their bid.
Advanced
Correctional
Healthcare provides in-house
medical care to more than
15 correctional facilities in
Kansas, and about 200 nationwide. In the region, the company is used by Franklin and
Linn counties. Valentine said
he has been impressed by their
track record and expertise in
the field of correctional healthcare.
The county spent about
$72,000 in inmate healthcare
last year, not including dental
care, so the bid from Advanced
Healthcare could save the county more than $33,000.
Valentine said he plans to
make a decision after he meets
with county commissioners,
perhaps as early as next week.
Although the sheriff has the
authority to manage the jail, he
said he would like the commissioners to be on board with his
