hall. The seat became vacant
Dec. 1 after commissioner Dan
Morgan moved to Texas. About
16 months remain in his term.
City manager Joyce Martin
said seven people have applied
for the position, but she declined
to reveal their names until the
applications had been formally
introduced to commissioners at
tonights meeting. She did say
the applicants included three
women and four men.
Gwin and Peine will review
the applications and schedule
interviews for the top candidates. Peine earlier said he
would like to have the next commissioner picked and installed
by the end of the year, but was
cautioned by city attorney
Terry Solander that the process likely will take longer than
anticipated because it is a busy
time of year. If Gwin and Peine
are unable to decide between
two candidates, Solander will
cast the deciding vote.
Vacancies on the city commission are not uncommon,
although it has been several
years since the last time commissioners had to appoint
someone to the post. In 2006,

GARNETT About 30 local
youth will have an opportunity
to test a new after school program starting in January.
The City of Garnett Recreation
Department and other organizers began sign-up for the
program, which will cost each
participant $35 per month from
January to April. The program
will meet four days a week after
school, from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
at the Garnett Recreation Center
and is open to children from kindergarten to sixth grade.

program began soon after
enrollment last August. Brad

target for sidewalks
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT- City of Garnett officials expect to be reimbursed
up to half of the $129,000 spent
replacing sidewalks in residential and business areas over the
past two years.
The ongoing sidewalk project
so far has cost the city about
$129,000, but property owners will be expected to pick
up about half of those costs
under an agreement with the
city. Although property owners are responsible for building
sidewalks, the city pays $2 per
square foot to ease the financial
burden on those owners, City
Manager Joyce Martin said.
I think thats why so many
have gotten repaired, Martin
said about the citys cost-share
offer.

seat just 18 months, resigning
in late November 2007 when he
moved outside the city limits.
In January 2008, commissioners appointed Chris Maynard
from a pool of six applicants.
Maynard later ran for the seat
and was elected in 2008, but lost
to Morgan in April 2011.
Morgan resigned this past
November to move to Houston.
He was a grain merchandiser with the East Kansas Agri

in more owners repairing sidewalks than initially expected.
The plan initially called for
new sidewalks in a U-shaped
pattern from one side of the
road at Caseys on Park Road to
Oak Street, along Oak Street to
First Street on one side, down
First Street to U.S. 59 on one
side, and along U.S. 59 to Park
Road with alternating sides
at Redbud. Instead, business
owners all along U.S. 59 from
First Street to Park Road have
built or repaired sidewalks, and
other property owners in the
area but not part of the U-shape
also have built sidewalks.
Eventually, all parts of the
city will be required to improve
sidewalks to meet handicapped
accessibility standards. The city
has come under fire in recent
years for its lack of handicapped
accessibility, leading to a federal
mandate to become compliant
within six years. Since March
of 2010, city officers have been

A new activity bus,

a fleet of mostly new buses
will be the most obvious differences when USD 365 takes
over transportation services
in the next school year. But
even behind the scenes, its
possible people wont see
many differences in bus services.
School board members
voted unanimously Thursday
to decline a new contract with
Apple Bus Company, which
has provided transportation
services to the district for
more than a decade. Apple
previously submitted a proposal to continue to provide
services with incremental
cost increases over the next
few years. An analysis by

RECORD
ANDERSON COUNTY BOARD OF
COMMISSIONER DECEMBER 26
Chairman Dudley R. Feuerborn called
the meeting of the Anderson County
Board of Commissioners to order at
9:00 a.m. on November 26 at the
County Commission Room. Attendance:
Dudley R. Feuerborn, Present: Eugene
Highberger, Present: James K. Johnson,
Present. The pledge of allegiance was
recited. Minutes of the previous meeting
were read and approved.
Road and Bridge
Lester Welsh, Road Supervisor, met
with the commission. He reported he has
two men out on work comp.
Historical Society
Paul Phares, Historical Society, met
with the commission. He reported they
are having trouble with termites at the
museum. They have been told there
is too much water pooling close to the
building and they need to find a way to
get the water away from the building.
They would like to replace the sidewalks
on the west and redo the handicap ramp
and remove the sidewalks on the south.
He questioned if the county could assist
with labor for removing the sidewalks.
Shirley Roeckers and Terry Solander
joined the meeting. Discussion was held
on bringing in fill dirt and that the retaining wall on the south will need repairs in
the future.
Advanced, Abatements, and Escaped
Tax
Abatements B13-101 through B13105, Advanced Tax A13-101 though
A13-103, and Escaped Tax E13-101
were presented and approved.
Mid-America Nutrition
Sharon Geiss, Mid-America Nutrition,
met with the commission concerning the
Meals-On-Wheels program. They operate the program on donations along with
federal, state, and county funds. The
money they are receiving from donations
has decreased in the last year, making
it difficult to fund the actual cost of the
meals. They would need at least a donation of $2.68 per meal on site meals, and
$3.69 per meal for meals delivered to the
homebound. If citizens who could afford
to pay more would make larger donations it would help cover for those who
cannot afford to make the suggested
donation. Jerry Howarter, Commissioner
Elect, was present and questioned if
hunters would donate deer to the program if they could serve it. Jerry will talk
to Wildlife and Parks to see if something
can be set up. It was suggested that
hunters could possibly pay for the processing if they did not want to keep their
deer.
Executive Session

Board member Cleon Rickel

Bus for its service, noting that
difficult economic times and
reductions to school funding in
recent years led to the decision.
Theyve done a good job, but

Its too early to know exactly what the change will mean

employees of Apple Bus until
the contract expires June 30.
When the district does take over
the service, its likely most will

will become classified employees in the transportation department, similar to secretaries and
custodians, Blome said. Issues
like pay and benefits have not

Other aspects, like the number

of Big Brothers Big Sisters
and Amy Wettstein, a counselor at Garnett Elementary
Center, to design a program.
Wettstein said she realized how
much need there was for an
after school program when she
talked to parents at enrollment.
Many parents at the time were
unsure where the child would
be going after school.
The new program will be
taught by Angie Chitwood and
volunteers. A 30-minute homework program will be offered
and activities such as games,
crafts, cooking and snacks will
be provided.
The program will be limited
to 30 students. After the first 30
students have been enrolled and
fees paid, additional students
will be added to a waiting list.
The next months fees must be
paid by the 15th or the student
will be dropped from the program. Students on the waiting
list will be contacted as spots
open.
Enrollment forms were
sent home with area students
recently and also are available at the Garnett Recreation
Center. Registration will only

The change has left space
available at the Ray Meyer Gym
and at a reading recovery building on the grounds of Irving.
Board members can now decide
how to best utilize the space
available to them.
One suggestion is to move
the districts alternative school
to the reading recovery building at Irving. The alternative
school currently is located in
a modular building behind the
Ray Meyer gym. A regional
alternative school already has
relocated to the main building
at Irving on a lease agreement,
and meals are sent to that facility each day so it would make
sense to locate the school there,
Superintendent Don Blome told
board members. About 10 or
12 students typically attend the
districts alternative school.
A proposal to locate the alternative school near IPC several
years ago brought an outcry
from neighbors and parents.
However, at that time the school
would have been located near
kindergarten and first grade
students; those students have
moved to GES. There was no
similar outcry when the regional alternative school moved in
last fall.
Another suggestion was
to move district offices to the
rooms at Ray Meyer Gym.
District offices have jumped

recent years and currently are

need to purchase.
Blome compared scenarios
with a mixture of new and used
buses and determined the district would be better off buying 15 new buses on a 10-year
lease agreement with 3 percent
interest. School board members
voted to purchase six new, 2014
65-passenger buses at a cost of
$77,860 each; eight new, 2014 71passenger buses at a cost of
$79,360 each; and one new, 2014
84-passenger, rear engine activity bus painted in school colors
with under-carriage storage
at a cost of $137,731. The total
cost of new buses is $1,239,771,
which translates to an annual
payment of about $131,033.45.
In addition to buying new
buses, the district also plans to
purchase two late-model used
buses and four spare buses.
Blome had received bids for
used buses, but said he plans
to re-bid the buses in hopes of
getting lower prices.
The district also will lease
three special education buses
because of a federal program
that will reimburse 80 percent
of the cost if the buses are
leased.
Because of the expense of
buying new buses, the school
district likely wont see much
cost savings in the first year,
Blome said. After that, he
expects to save about $100,000
per year on transportation.

The area to be targeted next

of repair, Martin said.
Its difficult to estimate an
average cost to repair sidewalks
because concrete prices vary,
and the size and scope of each
project can vary. Businesses
typically must pay more
because they are required to
offer wider sidewalks. The citys
sidewalk repair effort so far was
bid in about four projects with
three local concrete companies.
Lickteig Construction, Sean
Feuerborn and David Rockers
each won part of the projects at
various times by submitting the
lowest bid. During construction
of new sidewalks, the city pays
the company but works with
property owners for reimbursement. Property owners can
choose to hire their own contractor, but most took advantage of the citys project.

the new Garnett Elementary
School on U.S. 59 in the northernmost part of the city. Martin
said although it is important
to establish a route to the new
school, the citys first priority
was to complete the federallymandated U-shaped sidewalk
project. The city also will need
to address handicapped-accessibility issues at the Garnett
Industrial Airport, and other
projects throughout the city.
Despite the time and money
invested in new sidewalks over
the past two years, people still
arent happy, Martin said.
Property owners, especially
business owners struggling to
keep afloat in a difficult economy, arent happy about being
forced to pay for new sidewalks.
People who brought the need
for
handicapped-accessible
sidewalks to the attention of
state and federal agencies also
arent happy because the project bypassed most of Park Road,
the most direct route from elderly housing to businesses on U.S.
59. City officials have said previously that it would be difficult
and costly to install sidewalks
along Park Road because of
easements and underground
utilities in the area.

Star feature points out
divide between country,
city folk with beef expose
In its apparent attempt to curtail beef
eating among its readers or at least increase
regulations against the beef industry to
prevent food-born illness, The Kansas City
Stars feature package of stories last Sunday
entitled Beefs Raw Edges also illuminates
by its tone just how far most Americans have
migrated away from the farm.
The gist of
the news stories
EDITORIAL
was apparently to
recount the tragedy
of Ecoli outbreaks
and their impacts
in recent years on
those who were
infected, as well
as to blame the
sickness on the
massive American
beef industry and
its use of mechaniby Dane Hicks,

beef. The industry
maintains it spends millions of dollars on
machinery and processes to minimize such
occurrences and has made vast advances in
the past 20 years.
Okay, fair enough.
But the segment goes on to invest another
two pages of expensive newsprint and ink on
the processing procedures of beef processing
plants, even with a headline that proclaims
those plants as beef factories.
Beef factories?
The reader is treated to the entire necessary though albeit grisly process, augmented
by a full page color graphic depicting artists
cartoons of cattle dangling by one foot on the
processing line with their tongues hanging
out. We follow the pictures as the cattle are
stunned by a knocker bolt into the brain and
then bled out with the slice of a neck as they
hang inverted. We even have a five-column
color picture of cattle hanging on the line
with a massive catch basin of their blood
pooled underneath them.
Ribeye anyone?
No doubt the reporters and editors
thought the shock factor of seeing just exactly how that hamburger gets on Americas
plate might generate some response among
their readers. And theyre right lots of
folks have never seen the process and dont
like to think about it. Animal rights activists have used such images for years in their
attempt to sway Americans to tofu instead of
Tafelspitz, banking on the idea that forcing
Americans to watch the unslghtlyness will
prompt them to some effective- but in the end
misdirected- political action.
A lot of American issues are like that
these days. In the past 80 years as more and
more Americans have forsaken the farm for
jobs in the city, many of the mandates of
food production and other aspects of rural
lifestyle hunting, fishing, farming and livestock raising- are just too unseemly for rightthinking and increasingly politically liberal
metropolitans. There are many divisions
in this country these days, and the Stars
critique of the beef industry illuminates the
Rural/Metropolitan divide in a way that is
poignant and compelling.
Rural people are used to the idea that
cattle become hamburger. We hunt, or we
have friends who hunt, and weve seen deer
hanging in garages or from treess ready to be
skinned and prepared as food. Many are not
so far removed from their own family farms
and either participated in or heard the tales
of pig and chicken butchering in the days
before local processing plants were more
accessible and affordable. We know the smell
of feedlots; weve probably cleaned or filleted our own fish or at least watched it done.
Weve gotten our hands dirty and bloody in
harvesting meals. It is a part of rural culture.
It is not a part of the increasingly uberhygenic metro culture, where witnessing
such barbarian practice as readying food for
human consumption is so distasteful.
More distressing is that the loss of that
insight makes metro dwellers, who outnumber rurals at the voting polls, less sensible
to realities that bring food to their tables
and more susceptible to political movements
based purely on emotion.
Hi, Im so glad I can leave this little comment. The days go by and I keep thinking
about this weekend and the Homes Tour
and how it started at the Catholic Church.
Im not Catholic but its so nice to be able
to start with the reason for the season and
have it repeated. And also for all those
at the library and all the homes and just
everybody in this town that makes it so
special.
Americas first Christmas
BY RICH LOWRY
NATIONAL REVIEW
Gen. George Washingtons army retreated
from New York in ignominy in November 1776.
As it moved through New Jersey, Lt. James
Monroe, the future president, stood by the
road and counted the troops: 3,000 left from an
original force of 30,000.
In December 1776, the future of America
hung on the fate of a bedraggled army barely a
step ahead of annihilation.
The Americans confronted about two-thirds of
the strength of the British
army, and half its navy, not
to mention thousands of
German mercenaries. The
defense of New York was
barely worthy of the name.
When British troops crossed
Lowry
into Manhattan at Kips
Bay, the Americans ran.
Washington reportedly exclaimed in despair,
Are these the men with which I am to defend
America?
Later, from the New Jersey Palisades, he
watched as the British took Fort Washington
across the Hudson, held by 3,000 American
troops, and put surrendering Americans to the
sword. According to one account, Washington
turned away and wept with the tenderness of
a child.
British strategy depended on shattering
American faith in the Continental Army and
reconciling the rebellious colonies to the Crown.
As the Americans fled to the Pennsylvania side
of the Delaware River, the British occupied
New Jersey and offered an amnesty to anyone
declaring his loyalty. They had thousands of
takers, including one signer of the Declaration
of Independence.
With expiring enlistments about to reduce
his army further, Washington decided on a
scheme to cross the Delaware on Christmas
and surprise the Hessian garrison in Trenton.
If the raid backfired, Washington biographer
Ron Chernow writes, the war was likely over
and he would be captured and killed.
Behind schedule, Washingtons main force
of 2,400 started crossing the river that night.
Yes, most of them were standing up in flatbottomed boats. Yes, there were ice floes. It
wasnt until 4 a.m. that all the men were across
the river. They had 9 miles still to march to
Trenton in a driving storm and no chance of
making it before daybreak. Washington considered calling it off, but he had already come too
far.
Arriving at Trenton at 8 a.m., his spirited
troops seemed to vie with the other in pressing
forward, he wrote afterward. They surprised
the Hessians, who didnt expect an attack in
such weather. The battle ended quickly — 22
Hessians killed, 83 seriously wounded and 900
captured, to two American combat deaths.
It may be doubted whether so small a
number of men ever employed so short a space
of time with greater and more lasting effects
upon the history of the world, British historian George Trevelyan wrote.
Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David
Hackett Fischer sees in the American resurgence after our fortunes were at their lowest
a reassuring aspect of our national character
in this season of discontent: We respond when
pressed. Dr. Benjamin Rush, a great supporter
of the American cause, wrote: Our republics
cannot exist long in prosperity. We require
adversity and appear to possess most of the
republican spirit when most depressed. May
it still be so.

I agree with the person about having
the police doing something about people
parking their vehicles over the sidewalk.
We have a cops son down by Fourth and
Willow who parks his car and vehicles
across the sidewalk, you have to walk out
in the street to go around. They sure arent
doing anything about him, are they?
The new signage for Garnett is like a
bridge to nowhere. Its just money wasted.
Im calling in regard to the complaint in
the Phone Fourm about First Street being
blocked for the handicapped. First off if
youre going to complain about us parking in our driveway you need not do that
because its our driveway, are the police
going to tell us not to park in our driveway? Second, Im pretty sure theres no
toys out there; and third: You didnt pay
for the sidewalk, we did and we use it just
like everybody else who walks by here, so
if you have a problem with it you need to
pick a different sidewalk. Thank you.
Well Review youre letting it slip. I thought
there was laws that the county commissioners and the sheriff had to abide by
that said you couldnt have a secret meeting to discuss policies of the county? If
there are those at the dispatch that want
to take the dispatch out from under the
sheriff just because of the incoming sheriff, thats their opinion, fine. But I think
the law says they have to talk about that
fact in the public meeting and not get to
make that into a secret meeting. Come on
Review, do your job.
About the person who called in about the
cars parked on the sidewalk. Either you
or the police chief are misinformed. You
dont call 911. Nine-one-one is only to be
used in an emergency. The number to call
is (785) 448-6823. And another thing: Be
a grown up and quit your whining. Im
severely handicapped and you dont hear
me whining. Cowboy up. Thank you.
I have a different opinion about taking
on the school buses for ourselves. The
district better take a better look. I worked
with this stuff for over 30 years. There
can be a lot of maintenance on school
buses. And when youve got that many
of them you have all kinds of things that
can go wrong. The biggest thing I wonder if they thought of is comprehensive
insurance on those buses and also the big
item is liability for those children. One
accident and it could wipe out the district.
This idea of saving $100,000 may not be
the smartest way to go. They better really
look into that.
Thanks to the Christmas carolers who
sang up town this evening on the square.
Especially good was the backdrop of all
the Christmas lights around town. Good
job, people.
Will KanCare savings really keep Kansans healthy?
Theres an interesting question bouncing
around the Statehouse after the state received
the apparent OK to implement its dramatic
new way to provide health care for relatively
poor Kansans who cant afford or arent covered by health insurance.
That pivotal OKthat the federal government will allow Kansas to contract out to
private businesses the management of health
care for Kansans who receive Medicaid coverageis touted to save the state some $400
million over the next five years.
Now, taking care of the health needs of
the poor is one of those things that makes you
feel good. Were Kansans; we take care of one
another.
But, go to the strictly business side of
the feel-good program, and its obvious that
those private, for-profit care managers have
a good reason to make sure poor Kansans are
healthy. Theyll make more money if they
keep their clients healthy, and thats not bad
at all. Whatever keeps Kansans healthy or
heals them after accidents is a good thing.
So the question bouncing around is whether Gov. Sam Brownback will use some of that
savings to the state (the state portion of the
funding of Medicaid, about 40 percent of the
programs cost here) to keep more Kansans
healthy.
Thats the interesting part. The Affordable
Care Act (go ahead, call it Obamacare if you
by Martin Hawver
KANSAS STATEHOUSE COLUMNIST
want, President Barack Obama doesnt mind)
includes a provision that would allow states
to boost the incomes that families can earn
and still qualify for Medicaid, or KanCare, as
were going to start calling it on Jan.1.
The deal: The federal government pays all
of the cost of the expansion for the first two
years, and after that, the state would pick up
10 percent of the cost of that expansion of
services to more people. The pricetag to the
state after that two-year period? Probably
hundreds of millions of dollars. Would $400
million cover it? Who knows?
But theres this other consistent priority
of Brownback: To put Kansans to work, to
get them the education they need to become
a solid asset for businesses which move to
Kansas or expand in Kansas, to grow the
economy.
Wondering whether keeping maybe
100,000 more Kansans healthy and more kids
in school instead of at home sick has an economic benefit that is about the same as lowering taxes to spur the economy?
Around the Statehouse, there isnt a
handy figure on what keeping 100,000 or more
Kansans healthy is worth. Youd presume it
means that there are less sick days at work,
and more productivity occurs, and thats got
to be good.
And youd have to figure that more kids
healthy and in school means fewer of them
are not dropping behind their healthy classmates, and presumably getting smarter and
more ready for jobs when they are done.
(Anyone else miss that school day on long
division?)
Thats gotta be some fiscal advantage to
Kansas employers.
Its probably worth someone figuring out
(feeling good about taking care of Kansans
aside) whether the Medicaid expansion might
just pay for itself…

MANHATTAN Established
tree windbreaks sheltering
beef and dairy cattle operations
can save producers money on
feed costs, weight loss and milk
production during the winter
months.
A heavy winter coat protects beef cattle until temperatures drop below 18 degrees
Fahrenheit, but beyond that
point, Bob Atchison with the
Kansas Forest Service said the
animals require additional feed
to maintain body temperatures.
The presence of a windbreak
can help remedy this problem.
A 25 mph wind at zero
degrees Fahrenheit creates a
windchill of 44 degrees below
zero, said Atchison. By contrast, a properly designed windbreak will reduce the same
windchill to 15 degrees below
zero.
Atchison said windbreaks
can reduce the spike in energy
requirements cattle need to
maintain their body temperature during extreme cold weath-
er. He cited Canadian researchers who found that cattle on winter range, in unprotected sites,
required a 50 percent increase
in feed for normal activities.
A properly designed windbreak will reduce these needs
by half, he said.
Windbreaks enable cattle to
gain and maintain weight better
as well. He also cited studies in
Montana indicating that during
mild winters, beef cattle sheltered by windbreaks gained an
average of 34 to 35 pounds more
than cattle in an open feedlot.
During severe winters, cattle in
feedlots protected from the wind
maintained 10.6 more pounds
than cattle in unprotected lots.
The Kansas Forest Service is
now accepting tree orders from
producers interested in establishing livestock windbreaks.
Foresters also are available
to assist with planning a tree
planting. For more information, contact the Kansas Forest
Service at 785-532-3300 or visit

doing things.
Nineteen-year coaching veteran Steve Lyon takes the head
coaching slot for the Bulldogs
this season in his first-ever
post at leading the boys varsity
hoopsters.
Its my first year with the
players, Lyon said. Theyre
working hard in practice picking up our new drills and
offense. We are very excited to
get the season underway.
The
Bulldogs
return
seniors Eric Tastove at post,
Drew Mechnig at point guard
and Jack Rickabaugh at forward, along with juniors Zach
Hilliard, Tanner Lickteig,
Spencer Walter and Eric Small
all at guard. The team lost senior
standout Peter Stoneking, who
averaged double figure scoring,
to graduation last year. But
Lyon says his 2012-13 squad has
a lot of the elements needed to
make a solid basketball team.
We have depth, senior leadership, quickness, toughness,
and good skills in these kids,
he said. You always need
senior leadership.
Lyon said his overall goals
– winning the Pioneer League
and making a home game first
round of the substate tournament – are very attainable with
this group of athletes.

AC girls will lean
on experience
from hard knocks
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – They call it the
school of hard knocks, and if
you graduate, they say theres
no better education.
Thats the way the AC
Bulldog girls team is looking at
the 2012-13 basketball season.
The teams 3-17 win record from
last year was nothing to brag
about, but the good thing about
a bad record is the lessons it
teaches those who survive it.
We have experience coming back, said head coach Tim
Bremerman, but we have a
young bench.
The Bulldogs graduated
Paige Porter, Jesica Steele and
Gracie Rockers last year, but
return former starters and a
total of six lettermen in senior
guard Macy Adams, senior forwards Cheyanne Ratliff and
Jaime Mersman, senior guards
Amanda Moody and Michaela
Stevenson and junior forward
Tayler Porter.
The Pioneer League has a
reputation for fielding some
scrappy girls teams. Though
the Bulldogs lost their season
opener at Santa Fe Trail last
week, they massed 40 points in
the contest and with the excep-
7A
LOCAL
tion of two unanswered scoring bouts were competitive
with SFT throughout. It was
the kind of hanging-in-there
play Bremerman said he likes
to see.
All my returning letter winners will be contributing a lot
on the floor with the experience theyre bringing back,
Bremerman said. Im excited
about the competition that our
bench brings in practice and I
think that we will have more
key contributors there.
Bremerman
said
the
Bulldogs schedule prior to
Christmas will be tough considering the pre-season tournament the team appears in each
year. But he said he believes the
experience the team returns to
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 12-11-2012 / Dane Hicks

In terms of goals, Bremerman
said hed like to see his team

to limit their turnovers and
make a run at substate with an
eye toward a 4A tournament
appearance.
Garnett grapplers
seek improvement
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – New AC wrestling
head coach Jason Brown hopes
to lay the foundation to improve
the Bulldog grapplers record
from 2012 as the new season
begins.
Last years Bulldogs faced
similar challenges to this years
teams: the numbers were slight
and there were thin spots and
outright holes in several weight
classes. Last years Bulldogs
were only 1-13 in duals. They
lost Cody Crook at 132 and
Blake Howey at 220 to graduation in 2012.
This year, only junior Lee
Koch (182) and senior Raymond
Head (132) return as lettermen
to lead a young Bulldog squad.
Were young but we are
hungry and ready to wrestle,
coach Brown said. We have a
very tough schedule.
The Bulldog roster for varsity includes Tyler Belshe
(106), Blade Marmon (113),
Jaiden Drimmel (120), Mick
Weatherbee (126), Raymond
Head (132), Storm Pracht (138),
Stephen Kaufman (145), Ryan
Alley (152), Jake Trumbly (160),
Dallas Cox (170), Lee Koch (182),
Tim Cornett (195) and Dallas
Talley at 285, with the varsity
missing a wrestler in the 220
pound class.
Junior varsity wrestlers
include Shiloh Sutton at 113,
Maddie Goode (120), Chevy
Crook and Garrett Scott (132),
Jacob Herlocker (145), Alex
Craig (152), Tim Comfort (170)
and Alan Young (285). The JV is
open at 126, 138, 160, 182, 195 and
220.
The Bulldogs can expect
top 4A contenders again this
year from area powerhouses
like Baldwin, Louisburg and
Pittsburg. Baldwin grapplers
picked up state tournament
wins last year at 220 and 132.
Pittsburg won at 285 and 145
and Louisburg at 126.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND – The 2012-13
basketball season may be the
first and biggest challenge the
squad has faced under the stillyoung program established by
four-year head coach Rusty
Cannady.
Thats because for the first
time in years, the Vikings have
replaced all their starters with
new faces in the same year.
So far early in the season its
working out okay. The Vikes
posted a win over Prairie View
to start the season last week in
a game that was no walkaway
and tested the new Vikings
ability to play together. So far,
so good.
Our schedule is as tough
as we have ever had, Cannady
said. The Pioneer League is
competitive and our non-conference games against Burlington,
Spring
Hill,
Coffeyville,
Independence and Humboldt
speak for themselves.
The Vikes won a 3rd place
honor in the 3A state tourney
last year, and the following May
promptly sent all five starters
– Cody Sluder, Jimmy Hoskins,
Adam Seyler, Sam Leach and
Wade Davis – all to the great
post-high school beyond. Their
22-4 record was even better
than the 18-5 the crew posted in
2010-11, when they didnt lose a
single starter coming into 201112.
This years returning lettermen include Drew Beckwith,
Trever Burkdoll, Tristan
Davis, Adam Pryor and Zach
McAfee at the guard positions
and Jordan Horstick, Tanner
Erhart and Tyler Hendron at
forward. Underclassmen – many
with little experience- will flesh
out the rest of the ranks.
These kids love playing with
each other, Cannady said of his
team. The team is always first,
and they love being Vikings.
But having so many green
team members is a fact that
cant be denied, Cannady says,
as the squad takes aim at some
competition with veteran varsity players.
Our weakness is experience, Cannady said. Besides
a Jordan and Drew everyone
else played a lot of JV.
Experience will come early,
Cannady said, and hopefully
it will translate through the
season into another trip to the
state tournament.
Girls look to rebuild after graduation
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND – They were heady
days in last years Central
Heights girls basketball season
– a tough, seasoned squad of
girls whod played a long time
together and who hammered
out a 19-4 league-champion season just to fall in the substate
finals to Burlington.
Then came graduation.
Faster than you can say
jump shot all five starters
– Megan Swendson, Katelin
Horstick, Jennifer Bell, Maggie
Cotter and Cecilia Wuertz – were
history.
We were one game away

Kenzie Hayard, CHHS 6th
man last year at point forward,
junior Whitney Kraus at shooting guard. Shooting guard Sam
Stegner is the sole returning
senior from last years squad.
Kenzies our most vocal
leader, Lane said. She needs
to be a presence especially on
the defensive side of the ball.
Lane said Kraus was a great
role player at shooting guard
last year and will need to step
into a new roll as the teams
top scorer in 12-13. Stegnor, he
said, will be the glue girl and
help ramp up the teams intensity on both sides of the ball.
Besides those upper classment, a bevy of sophomores
will comprise the mainstay of
the squad. Sydney Myer picked
up pointers last year from
Horstick at the center position,
and will be the Vikings big
in the middle and a force for
shooting and shot blocking on
defense. Brianna Erhart has
been perfecting her outside
shot at the position of point
guard and was on last years
varsity roster. Regan Markley
is the teams only freshman at
guard, described by Lane as a
fireball on defense early in the
seasons practices who is picking up things very quickly.
Were young and not very
deep, Lane said. We have lots
to learn especially on the defensive side of the ball. They pick
up on things fast, which makes
my job a lot easier.
The Vikes schedule starts
off tough.
We should be tested a lot
before Christmas because our
pre-season tournament has a
lot of great teams in it and we
play on the road at Burlington
Dec. 11. But it will give us a
great indication of where we
are early in the season.
Coming off a season with
the success of last year and a
complete re-tooling of the team
with new starters makes goal
setting hard for this season, but
Lane said hes taking it piece by
piece.
Just keep getting better and
better every practice. We need
to keep level-headed and stay
focused, Lane said.

Central Heights lost grapplers Gage Holler and Levi
Snow to graduation last year;
a year that saw the team go 12-1
in duals despite having several
open weight classes. This year
will require a little shifting in
some weight classes, but overall
the Vikings should be competitive.
We will have a better dual
team than a tournament team,
Hinderliter said. We need to
get a couple of guys healthy
and a couple in different weight
classes.
Hinderliter said his goal for
2012-13 would be to qualify 3-4
wrestlers for the state tournament.

Lancers goal:
League champs
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY – This years Lancer
boys basketball squad returns
to the court with one of the
tightest, most close-knit teams
in recent years and a couple of
not-so-secret weapons aimed at
a League title and a chance to
win on the big floor.
First and foremost we want
to win a (Three Rivers) league
championship, said 7-year veteran head coach and former
Crest Lancer Travis Hermreck.
We havent won it in the last
two seasons and that doesnt sit
very well with us.
The squad has a lot of experience and most of it has been
earned together. Hermreck said
the team is incredibly close-knit
and shares a solid work ethic
and sense of goal setting- which
will hopefully lead to the Holy
Grail of 1A basketball itself.
As always we want to play
in the state tournament and
give ourselves a chance to win
on the big floor, Hermreck
said.
The Lancers went 15-9 last
year and made its third state
tournament appearance in the
past five years, but the Grail- a
state title- has remained elusive.
The returning Lancers are
a solid bunch. Gone are last
years standouts Jayden and
9A
SPORTS
Cole Bowen and Chris Brallier,
but this years team has more
depth and a lot of varsity experience. At 62, senior forward
Kyle Hammond has a chance
to end up the 2nd all time
scorer in Crest school history.
Senior guard Jordan Morton,
60, comes back to 2012 having sharpened his deadly threepoint shooting attack. Senior
Jesse Boone (63) returns at
center and Brock Ellis, a 64
junior, returns at forward. Fivefoot ten-inch Junior Landon
Stephens returns at guard and
sophomore Austin Green, 57,
returns at guard as well.
If the 2012 Lancers have an
edge, theyll sharpen it against
a schedule thats more grueling
than in years past.
We beefed up our schedule

Heights and Humboldt. We also
play 1A powerhouses Olpe, Lebo

The Lancer defense may be
key.
Last season we were not a
very good team defensively,
Hermreck said. If were going

are going to have to commit to
playing more efficiently on that
end of the floor.
Crest girls hoping
lightning strikes twice
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY – It was no fluke. It
was called winning.
And anybody who watched
last years 3-16 Lancer girls
team beat 4-16 Chetopa in a 4240 heart-stopper after taking a
bye in the first round of the 1A
substate tournament believes
it.
It didnt matter what had
happened before the tournament. Like a butterfly emerging
from the cocoon, the same Crest
girls with the lackluster record
disassembled Altoona-Midway
35-13 to end up seeded last and
taking on first-seed Ingalls in
the first round of the state tournament on the court at Fort
Hays State University.
No, they didnt get much
farther than that. But they got
there.
And though new Crest
girls coach Ben Vaughn wont
come right out and say it, who
wouldnt like to go back?
I dont like to set specific
win goals or to set a goal to
reach a certain level, Vaughn
said. We want to focus on being
a competitive team that is able
to win consistently.
Vaughn admits, as the new
kid on the Crest coaching block,
hes not too familiar with the
Three Rivers League or with
the Lancers extra-league competition. But he says his girls
still have a little fire left over
from that substate tournament
appearance – they work hard in
practice to master a new system
and nobody has convinced the
team leaders that last years finish was some kind of lightning
strike.
I feel we can be competitive, Vaughn said. Were fairly
young, but excellent leadership
has helped. The girls have done
very well with a new system.
Im confident their hard work
is going to pay dividends on the
court this season.
The Lancers graduated
Shayla Stephens and Katrina
Strickler last year, but return
senior Kurston Gilliland to
center in 2012-13. Also coming
back as lettermen from last
year are sophomores Madison
Covey at point guard, Madison
Kellar and Brooklyn LaCross
at guard and Lyndia Bradshaw
at forward. Others staffing this
years team are seniors Brytton
Strickler and Shandra Sedlak at
guard and sophomore Emmalee
Seabolt at forward.
We really hope to improve
our teamwork and our basketball IQ this year, Vaughn said.
And if theyre successful,
who knows… lightning might
strike twice.

Vikings salvage strong 7th
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND – With a slim
crowd and an early afternoon
game, there may have been an
echo in the gym at the 7th-place
game between Central Heights
and Osawatomie last Friday at
Oz, but the 60-30 win mattered
to the Vikes.
The kids came out on all
cylinders, said coach Rusty
Cannady. These kids dont care
when or where or what time the
game is, they just love to play
and get better each game.
It had been a long tournament road with two previous
losses and site changes from
Ike Cearfoss gym to Oz for the
finals. But the Vikings came out
in control and never gave it up.
CHHS was up 38-21 at the
half and hit the afterburners in
the third period for 19 points.
They held Oz to 4.
Defensively we were as
good as we have been all year,
Cannady said. Especially in
the third quarter.
Jordan Horstick had 22,
Trever Burkdoll 14, Drew
Beckwith 10, Zach McAfee 5,
Tristan Davis 4, Tanner Erhart
3 and Tyler Hendron 2.
The Vikes were tied with
Spring Hill at the half of their
hosted tournament second
round game, but the Broncos
pushed ahead by 10 by the end
of the game to take a 58-48 win.
The kids did exactly what
we wanted defensively and executed the offense a little bit better from Monday night, said
coach Cannady. We grew up a
lot during this game. Once we
get our identity figured out, we
will be a pretty good team.
Spring Hill stayed just ahead
of the Central Heights offense
after the halftime until a couple
of unanswered baskets in the
fourth period put it away.
Horstick led with 18, Beckwith
had 9, Burkdoll 6, McAfee 4,
Erhart 5, and Hendron had 2.
I was proud of how our kids
fought but a little disappointed
on how we finished, Cannady
said. We will get it fixed.
The first-round game against
Osage City was your good ol
fashioned small school basketball game according to Viking
head coach Rusty Cannady. But
the heartbreaker came to the
Vikes with a 2-point loss 54-52.
Each team had their chances to open up a comfy lead but
just couldnt, Cannady said.
That comes with experience.
The game and reps these kids
get the better theyll respond.
OC held a 1-point lead at the
half, but neither team ever led
by more than 5 points without
a surge by the other to narrow
the margin.
Jordan Horstick was hot for
the Vikes, drilling 25 points to
lead the games scoring. His
half-court shot after OC missed
a free throw with .08 remaining
bobbled off the backboard and
rim.
Tanner Erhart hit 10, Trever
Burdoll 8, Drew Beckwith 4,
Zach McAfee 3 and Tristan
Davis had 2. For OC it was Irvin
6, Kerns 8, Haskins 11, Spruill 3,
Fort 9, Cousin 14, Hobby 3.
It was hard to be too disappointed in either team after
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 12-11-2012 / Dane Hicks
a see-saw battle like that,

made the difference, he said.

Viking girls fall short in tourney

RICHMOND – The Central

basketball but tumbled in all
three games of the pre-season
tournament the Vikings hosted
last week.
The Vikes fell 46-36 to Kansas
City Christian in the Friday
finale, trailing by a single point
22-21 at the half. KCC mounted a full scale scoring drive in
the third period to stack up 17
points while holding the Vikes
to 8, and the fourth period was
a 7-7 standoff.

a smidge in the second round
game of the home tournament
with Coffeyville and fell by 5
points 35-40.
CHHS head coach Scott Lane
said the team looked solid in
blocking out and in its zone
defense, but gave up a few too
many second chance opportunities for Coffeyville to score.
Our zone defense was a lot

CARBONDALE – Turnovers
and challenged rebounding
took a toll on the AC Bulldog
girls and brought a 63-40 loss
in the squads season opener
against Santa Fe Trail.
We gave up an 11-0 run to
start the game, so that put us in
a hole early, head coach Tim
Bremerman said. Another 9
unanswered points in the third
helped SFT build its margin.
We played competitive with
them throughout the game

Discount Kansas
state parks passport
to debut in 2013
TOPEKA Kansans who enjoy
visiting the state parks can
count on at least two annual
rituals renewing their vehicle registrations and buying
their annual park permits.
Currently, these tasks must be
completed on separate occasions, at different buildings
or online locations, and using
separate transactions. Thats
about to change, thanks to a
partnership between the Kansas
Department of Wildlife, Parks
and Tourism (KDWPT) and the
Kansas Department of Revenue
(KDOR).
Beginning in 2013, Kansas
motor vehicle owners will be
able to buy an annual park vehicle permit as part of their vehicle registration process. The
permit called a Kansas State
Parks Passport will cost $15.00
(county treasurers can elect to
add a $0.50 service fee). This
lower-price, non-transferable
permit will be available only
during the vehicle registration
process at a motor vehicle registration office, through the
online vehicle registration site
(www.kswebtags.org), or when
registering by mail. The Kansas
State Parks Passport will expire
when the vehicle registration
expires a year later.
During 2013, persons who
would like to purchase an
annual park permit before they
register their vehicles can do so
at any KDWPT office, Kansas
license vendor or through the
KDWPT website, (www.ksoutdoors.com/License-Permits),
and then request a pro-rated
refund for the difference in cost.

Kansas residents (except
seniors and persons with disabilities) and owners of vehicles
not registered in Kansas who
buy their park vehicle permits
at a KDWPT office or vendor
will have to pay the regular
price for annual and daily permits. The regular annual park
vehicle permit will cost $25.00,
and the daily vehicle permit fee
will be $5.00, including process ing fees.

2013, residents 65 years of age
or older or persons with disabilities who display a special
license plate or placard issued
pursuant to state law can buy
a park vehicle permit directly
from a KDWPT office or vendor.
Including processing fees, the
cost will be $13.75 for annual
vehicle park permits or $3.25 for
regular daily permits. These
lower-priced permits will not be
available as part of the vehicle
registration process.
KDWPT pushed for the new
passport in the 2012 legislative
session. Kansas state parks
receive modest funding from
the state general fund but the
amount has dwindled in recent
years, resulting in significant
challenges for park operations
and maintenance.
Robin Jennison, KDWPT
Secretary, explained that the
agency is striving to be less reliant on state general funds. The
new annual permit will provide
a lower cost way for families
and young people to visit our
state parks. It also will help
expand our customer base, and
provide a more reliable, consistent revenue stream to stabilize
the funding pool so we can more
effectively operate our state
parks. We deeply appreciate
the help of the Department of
Revenue to make this happen.
he said.
Linda Craghead, Assistant
Secretary for Parks and
Tourism, added, The Kansas
State Parks Passport will make
it more convenient and affordable for Kansans to enjoy our
25 state parks. It will be a great
way for families to reconnect
with nature and each other,
and help preserve the parks for
future generations. Families
can enjoy a whole year of
adventure and outdoor activities for less than the cost of
treating the family to a night at
the movies.
We are pleased to partner
with the Kansas Department of
Wildlife, Parks and Tourism to
offer this customer service feature which will make it easier
for all Kansans to visit our state
parks, said KDOR Vehicles
Director Donna Shelite.
Information about the new
Kansas State Parks Passport
will be included in the registration renewal notice sent to
vehicle owners each year.

Farmers helping farmers
Known also as bees and
change work, work frolics were
occasions when farmers got
together to help a neighbor
with a difficult job, to do something for the general good, or
to provide an excuse to have a
party.
Best known were the barn
raising and house raising bees,
when a young couples neighbors turned out to help put up
the frame of a new log cabin,
house or barn-heavy work
that a man and his wife simply
could not do all by themselves.
We read also of church raising bees, school raising bees,
and meeting house bees when
neighbors undertook a job of
benefit to them all.
A land cleaning bee was
another type of changework in
which the group completed in a
day a task that would take one
man and a team of oxen many
months to complete. Or the
whole task might be divided
into a series of bees,
First there would be a logging bee when the trees would
be felled, then a log rolling
bee, a log piling bee, a land
leveling bee, a stump pulling
bee, a stone hauling bee, and
a firewood cutting bee. While
one man alone could cut up his
firewood, a bee sometimes was
held anyhow, just as an excuse
for good fellowship.
Bees were not all work,
because every now and then
the group would stop for a
drink of hard cider and, at
the end of the day, more cider,
beer, rum and other refresh-

for local archeology information.
ments would be served. The
wives of the changeworkers
would come along and spend
the time at such work as quilting or carpet weaving, while
the men engaged in the work
frolic.
Women also held bees of
their own, often just as an
excuse to get together socially.
They held bees for apple paring, jelly and mincemeat making, quilting and sewing. They
sewed for themselves, for the
poor, or sometimes for the parsons family.
Bees provided companionship, which was all too rare
in those days, plus relaxation
and the spirit of festival. The
only reward for all the work
done consisted of thanks from
the beneficiary, plus plenty of
cider, rum and food.
Farmers also held butchering bees in cold weather and
breakin-out-the-road bees in
winter time when heavy snows
decended and several teams
of oxen were required to pull a
plow through high drifts.
One of the most popular
kinds of bees was the corn
husking bee when the young
farm folk got together in a barn
or around a fire on a winter
evening and husked the corn
that had been harvested earlier. It was traditional on these
occasions to celebrate the finding of a red ear of corn in one
or both of two ways: either
the finder of the red ear got
to kiss the girl of his choice or
else the whole group stopped
for a round of cider or some
other beverage. Young men
who found red ears too often
were suspected of planting
them as a means of enjoying
extra kisses.
After they had finished
their work, the huskers were
rewarded with refreshments
such as baked beans, brown
bread, pickles, apple pie, cake,
coffee and of course the usual
stimulants.
In the spring and fall, farm
wives would conduct a series of
house cleaning bees, in order to
lessen the drudgery of the job,
and when nothing else needed
doing they would engage in a
clean-the-meeting-house bee.
A good excuse for a work frolic
always could be found if the
lonely people really wanted to
get together for work or play.
The same spirit of helpfulness also was present in the
custom of sending a taster
of food, called a cold patty,
to neighbors after a wedding
reception or other large celebration.
Oh! Those bees were great.

in which is enclosed a lengthy
article giving his reasons for
deciding not to enter a contest.
Mr. Capper says he still believes
that he was elected governor
by a majority of 3,000 or more.
After submitting his case to the
supreme court, and failing to
get a verdict in his favor, he says
he believes that submitting it to
a Democratic senate would be
a doubtful expedient. He says,
Even if the blunder of the election judges could be righted in a
political body at that late hour,
which is extremely doubtful,, I
can see no hope that, as governor, I should be able to carry
out any definite program of
legislation with a hostile political majority against me in both
branches of the legislation.

State Library moves back to capitol
TOPEKA The State Library
of Kansas will soon be back
in the Kansas Statehouse after
more than two years worth of
restorations and special planning. Movers began relocating
the collection earlier this week
and will be complete in 8 to 10
days.
The 202,000 book collection
contains publications over 200
years old and a move of this
magnitude requires precise
attention to detail and meticulous handling. Its really quite
remarkable to see a collection
of this size and importance in
motion, said State Librarian
Jo Budler. Some of these books
have been part of our collection
since the 1800s. It feels great to
get them back home. The State
Librarys collection has been
housed off-site since December
2010.
Once the prominent collection is back in place, the
State Library staff will follow, migrating from the eight
mobile units located outside
the Capitol. I cant tell you
how excited we are to get back
in the Statehouse before the
2013 legislative session, Budler
said. When asked how long the
State Library services will be
unavailable during the transition, Budler replied, Some
requests may take us a little
longer but the State Library
will remain open and continue
to serve the needs of state agencies, legislators, libraries and
the public.
The State Library will be
located in the north wing of the
Statehouse in room 312-N beginning December 10th. Library
hours are Monday-Friday, 8am5pm. For information on the

The Blum kids – Micky, Vicky and Nicky – zonk
out under handmade decorations on their Kansas

in 1979. The family had recently moved to Garnett
from Pennsylvania, where Mom had stored their

the colorful trimmings from scratch at their new
home.
The Anderson County Boots and Spurs float won
the grand prize in the Garnett Area Chamber of

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, December 11, 2012
The first three gifts of Christmas
Matthew gives a detailed
account of the visit of the
wise men from the east after
the birth of Jesus. These
wise men were probably from
Mesopotamia, the region
of ancient Babylon. There
are numerous accounts of
ancient astrologers interpreting astronomical phenomena as heralding the birth of
kings. The wise men refer to
having seen his (Jesus) star
when it rose. This may have
been a planetary conjunction, a supernova or something purely supernatural.
Whatever the case it alludes
to the star of Jacob (Num.
24:17). Here Balaam predicts
the future advent of a royal
conqueror. I see him, but
not now; I behold him, but not
near; a star shall come out of
Jacob and a scepter shall rise
out of Israel.
Whoever these men were
and wherever they came
from they stated their purpose clearly when they ask
Herod the king Where is he
who has been born king of
the Jews? For we saw his star
Weekly
Devotional
by David Bilderback
when it rose and have come to
worship him.
In Matthew 2:11 we read,
And going into the house
they saw the child with Mary
his mother and they fell down
and worshiped him. We then
read and then they opened
their treasures and offered
him gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh. Why these
gifts we are not told but only
left to imagine. There are
many explanations but perhaps the most widely accepted is as follows.
Gold is a gift you would
give a king. Whenever one
king of lesser strength had
to pay tribute to a stronger
king the exchange was always
made in Gold. Frankincense
is a gift you would give a God.
Frankincense was part of the
scared anointing oil. It was
used as a sacrificial offering,
as a fumigant during animal
sacrifices and as a perfume.
Myrrh is a perfume and was
used as an anointing oil and
for embalming as well as a
medicine for relief of pain.
The role of the star in
Matthew 2 suggests a connection with astrology. These
astrologers pursuing their
observations of the stars
encountered a sign from God.
God made this event known
to them. The most important
part of the account is not who
these men were or where they
came from or why. The most
important point is They
(wise men) fell down and worshiped him. This is in stark
contrast to Herod the king as
we are told he was troubled.
We are now into advent moving toward the celebration of
the birth of Christ. Make this
season a time of worship not
a time of indifference.
