Healthcare law still confuses many
Navigator offers help
to locals struggling
to understand law
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Despite improvements to the healthcare.gov
website, many people still have
questions about how the new
national healthcare law will
impact them and their families.
Representatives from two
organizations met with about
30 members of the public last
week to try to give an overview
of the law and answer basic
questions. Mostly, they wanted
to spread the word that they
can help people with the complicated new healthcare law.
Jordan Rickabaugh with
the Kansas Association for
the Medically Underserved
(KAMU) and Sarah Holloran
with the East Central Kansas
Area Agency on Aging
(ECKAAA)conducted
the
meeting Monday, Dec. 9, at
the Garnett Public Library.
Rickabaugh gave an overview
of the program, then answered
questions from the audience.
After the Q&A, several audience members met with her to
schedule individual appointments for help applying for cov-
erage.
The meeting is the first of
its kind in Anderson County
since the federal government
launched the healthcare website Oct. 1 amid a myriad of
problems. An overhaul of the
site was completed Nov. 30, but
users continue to report issues.
Even so, the website is considerably better than it was,

City amends 2013 budget, mostly bookkeeping
$200K figure doesnt
tell whole story about
budget amendments
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – On paper, a budget amendment of more than
$200,000 looks like a lot of
money.
But that dollar amount
doesnt actually represent
money that will need to be
covered by taxpayers. Much of
it simply represents accounting adjustments as money is
transferred from one fund to
another. Cash reserves in each
fund will cover the additional
cost, when necessary, without
an additional tax burden, City
Manager Joyce Martin said.
City officials last week
approved spending $225,255
more than they initially had
budgeted for 2013 to cover a variety of expenses that cropped up

125-year-old bank
provides leadership,
faces challenges
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GREELEY At $35.5 million
in assets, The Bank of Greeley
ranks 6,467th out of 6,900 U.S.
banks in asset value according
to the website www.usbanklocations.com. Dry financial
statistics say nothing, however,
about the impact the bank has
had for 125 years and continues
to have in the town of 296.
As banking ownership and
management becomes more
and more removed from Main
Street America, the Bank of
Greeley echoes a legacy more
than a century old in which
local banking influenced the
life and future of small communities.
The staff and management
of the Greeley bank all 6 of
them celebrated the banks
125th anniversary Friday with
a steady stream of customers
and well-wishers throughout
the day. Amid the changes in
the banking industry in recent
decades and the winnowing
number of true small town,
locally-owned banks, its 125th
anniversary shined a spotlight
on the importance of the banks
roll in Greeley as well as its longevity.
Mike, Pat and Doug Rockers
father Alfred bought stock in
the bank in 1959 after gaining
experience at a Paola bank.
The Bank of Greeley was chartered July 3, 1888, by William
Roth and other stockholders,
at the time opening in competition with the Citizens Bank
already established in the town
and whose assets BOG later
acquired. Along with centuryold handwritten bank ledger
books kept by the bank is the
1888 construction contract
that yielded the banks brick

Brown and Vine Streets the

Rickabaugh said. She has fielded numerous calls and questions, and has helped several
people sign up for coverage. A
handful of those people were
from Anderson County, but
she expects those numbers to
increase as more people learn
they can seek her help or contact other navigators.
Theres a lot of misinformation about the law, she said.
Its doing a pretty huge thing
– reforming the health insurance system. It ties in aspects of
different federal agencies and
it gets very complicated when
they are trying to communicate
with each other.
Navigators are trained to
be impartial and do not advocate for any particular plan,
Rickabaugh said. However, she
can help a person find a plan
that best suits their needs.
People are curious about
tax credits and finding out who
qualifies for what, she said.
People are really concerned
about how the website is working.
An Associated Press-GfK poll
released this week found that
77 percent of Americans blame
the Affordable Care Act, also
known as Obamacare, for rising premiums and deductibles
even though insurance companies have been shifting costs to
workers for years. Companies
also have been canceling policies for millions of customers,
and problems with the federal marketplace website could
mean millions of people will be
without coverage Jan. 1, when
the law was expected to take
effect and provide healthcare
coverage. People whose policies were canceled could have
trouble getting coverage under
the new marketplace, and those
who do may find the new policy
doesnt cover their same prescriptions or doctors.
Rightly or wrongly, people
with private insurance looking
at next year are really worried
about what is going to happen,
Robert Blendon, a professor at
the Harvard School of Public
Health, who tracks public opinion on health care issues, said
in an Associated Press article.

Since Mr. Fergusons passing,
former students and teachers
flooded Facebook with stories
similar to my own. The words
great man and great educator were repeated again and
again. Even students who said
they spent a lot of time in his
office for disciplinary reasons
had nothing but praise for him.
Connie Mead, a former student and diabetic, remembered
how he drove her home one
morning when she forgot her
insulin shot.
My brother, Jason Moss, said
one day he didnt feel like going
to class so he told Mr. Ferguson
he wasnt feeling well. Mr.
Ferguson gave him a warm 7Up and talked to him until he
felt better – or, at least, until he
felt better about going to class.
Troy Thompson remembered
a potentially dangerous incident
when someone left the stage
lights on over the weekend,
and the front of the stage was
charred. Mr. Ferguson didnt
get upset and didnt blame anyone for it, Thompson said.
Brian Ulrich said a flagpole at the school once fell onto
Mr. Fergusons car. Instead of
getting upset that his car was
destroyed, Mr. Ferguson was
just happy no one was hurt.
He said, My car can be
fixed, but my kids can never be
replaced, Ulrich said.
Marilyn Lancaster, a for-
mer student, said Mr. Ferguson
insisted she join the Crest staff
as a music teacher after she
graduated college. She didnt
have a degree in music, but Mr.
Ferguson believed in her.
She remembers when they
had to decide between taking
some students to a music festival in Fort Scott or having
an all-school program. Mr.
Ferguson talked her into the
program so that every student
could participate and not just
a few.
After every one of my
programs he would come down
off the stage after running the
curtains and say, Good show.
Those two words meant more to
me than anything else he could
have said, Lancaster recalled.
Those were probably the most
rewarding five years in my
teaching career.
As one of my former classmates, Steven Moore, said
about Mr. Ferguson, We were
all blessed to have him in our
lives and to pass his knowledge
and values on to us.

and talked with our family at
length, putting us at ease before
we entered a new school. He
seemed more like a grandfather than a principal, I thought.
Not long after that, I fell victim
to one of the most devastating events of my young life.
Someone stole a folder from my
locker. It wasnt just any folder.
It contained hundreds of pages
of handwritten stories – worlds
I had created on paper since
fourth grade when I decided to
become a writer.
I remember the disappointed
and determined look in Mr.
Fergusons eyes as I tearfully
explained what happened. He
began an in-depth search for
my folder, looking through
lockers and trashcans. He even
climbed into the Dumpster, digging through all the schools
trash, but the folder was never
found.
Those are the lengths Mr.
Ferguson would go to for his
students.
He died Friday, Dec. 13, at the
age of 83, at Girard.
Mr. Ferguson had a long
history in education, beginning
at the age of 19 as a teacher
in a one-room schoolhouse. He
served as principal of the Crest
elementary and junior high
schools at Kincaid for 29 years.

EDITORIAL
If the Wright brothers
could see us now
I am an enthusiast, but not a crank
in the sense that I have some pet theories
as to the proper construction of a flying
machine. I wish to avail myself of all that
is already known and then if possible
add my mite to help on the future worker
who will attain final success.
-Wilbur Wright, in his 1899 letter to
the Smithsonian Institution requesting
available scientific documentation on
aeronautics.
One hundred-ten years ago today two
bicycle mechanics and former newspapermen altered the worlds concept of
transportation into one that now may
allow Amazon to deliver your new cook
book or cell phone via a flying drone.
Wow.
There are few American stories more
humble or more powerful than that of
the Wright brothers and their famed first
powered flight on December 17, 1903, at
Kitty Hawk, N.C. Its been a story that
has fascinated me since I was a little kid
and its only gotten better as Ive grown to
understand their story.
But I only recently learned that they
were newspapermen first. In fact the
first real collaboration between the two
men whose father published the nationwide newspaper for the conservative
United Brethren in Christ Church as in
starting their own printing business on
the side and publishing a couple of shortlived newspapers in Dayton, Ohio, where
they grew up. Historians credit that publishing business, even on such a small
scale, as the training ground that helped
the brothers learn to work with each
other and balance each others strengths
and weaknesses.
The Wrights are an amazing story not
just because of what they accomplished
but because of the way they accomplished it; private, self-reliant initiative

that fostered private investments in their
own entrepreneurial endeavors like the
bicycle shop and manufacturing business
that funded their scientific research. As
mass-produced bicycles became more hip
around the turn of the 20th century, competition forced the Wrights into developing their own custom-built models which
they sold for premium prices and developed their own brand of advanced quality as a selling point.
They worked in an up-and-coming
city full of manufacturing and technological advancement, and though neither
had a college education both studied and
read voraciously about business and
science and the world around them. It
took them basically four years to design,
build, test and fly mans first self-powered aircraft and they didnt have the
Internet.
So when Jeff Bezos tells us in a few
years Amazon may be delivering your
online purchased orders via tiny helicopters or drones that will fly to your house,
we dont laugh all that loud. Nowadays

The War on Inequality, as waged by Obama
President Barack Obama has his answer
to Lyndon Johnsons War on Poverty. It is
a war on inequality.
The presidents formal declaration of
hostilities came in a speech this month at
the Center for American Progress, predictably praised as brilliant by his journalistic
cheerleaders and touted by the White House
as setting out the cause that will define the
rest of his presidency.
While LBJs war on poverty is nothing
to emulate — it costs $900 billion a year, yet
has manifestly failed in the stated goal of
uplifting the poor — at least it had a clear,
compelling rationale. Who can disagree
that it would be better if fewer Americans
were poor? Obamas implicit argument is
that it would be better if fewer Americans
were rich, or at least if they werent quite
so offensively rich.
He relied on dubious research and tendentious analysis to make his case, without
ever admitting what, for him, must be the
crux of the matter. Surely, income inequality offends his egalitarian sense of justice
and aesthetics, and even if he didnt believe
it had harmful real-word effects, he would
wish the top 1 percent werent so wealthy
as a social good in and of itself.
There is no doubt that we long ago exited
the economic Golden Age of the mid-20th
century, and we arent going to return to it.
President Obama could give a speech about
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
that and never need to make a questionable claim. But he wants to make a case
for war.
In his speech, the president said that
inequality is bad for the economy and cited
one study showing that greater income
inequality means more fragile growth
and more frequent recessions. Of course,
one study can show almost anything.
The study in question analyzed developing
economies.
He could just as easily have said that one
study by a Harvard economist showed a
correlation between increasing inequality
and higher economic growth in the U.S. and
other developed countries between 1960
and 2000.
To maintain that rising inequality is a
threat to the American Dream, the president insists that it is reducing income
mobility. Here the evidence is just as
weak. According to Scott Winship of the
Manhattan Institute, the gap between the
middle class and the poor hasnt grown
much during the past few decades. It has
been the very top of the income distribution that has gained the most.
America does indeed have a serious
mobility problem, especially in getting
people out of poverty. But it has nothing
to do with a small fraction of people being
spectacularly rich. Mark Zuckerberg could
be stripped of all his wealth tomorrow, and
it wouldnt help anyone further down the
income ladder. It wouldnt increase wages,
or reduce out-of-wedlock child rearing, or
lead to less incarceration, or revive the work
ethic, all of which would enhance mobility
and lift more people into the middle class. It
would just make Mark Zuckerberg poor.
Which is why Obamas war on inequality is so misconceived. We arent beset by a
wealthy 1 percent destroying opportunity
and immiserating the rest of the country.
The president needs to reconsider his casus
belli.

Review.
Huelskamps chances come down to challengers
For three-quarters of Kansas, heres an
interesting little look at the just-under way
campaign for the congressional seat in the
Big First District.
For a quarter of Kansans living in the First
District, well, watch what happens where you
live.
The deal: Two-term U.S. Rep. Tim
Huelskamp, R-Kan., was elected in 2010 after
surviving a six-candidate Republican primary election. He was a state senator before
that, pretty well-known in his own district
and in surrounding legislative districts. His
congressional primary election back in 2010
saw him get 34 percent of the vote and he
was virtually elected, having an R beside his
name in the Republican-heavy (by percentage, were not talking weight) First District.
Huelskamp campaigned hard, and got
34,819 votes in that primary election. The
other 65,164 votes were split unevenly among
the five other candidates on the GOP ballot
out west. He didnt get the majority of the primary votethat would have been 49,992but
he won the plurality and got the nomination.
Key here: The more Republican candidates
on the primary election ballot, the fewer
votes you need to win. Calculator ready?
Theoretically, Huelskamp could have won
the primary with as few as 16,665 votes, had
every candidate gotten one-sixth of the vote
and Huelskamp got a couple extras.
See what happens in primary elections?
STATE COMMENTARY
MARTIN HAWVER, At The Rail
The more candidates, the fewer votes you
need to win. In 2010 Huelskamp did get more
than a third of the primary vote, not a bad
showing, but nearly two-thirds of the votes
went to other candidates.
And last year, he ran for election to a second
term…and there was no Republican primary
opposition…and no registered Democrat ran
against him, so he virtually skated into a
second term. Were figuring checking the
Huelskamp box was probably quicker than
writing-in, say, Beyonce…
Doesnt get much better than that if you
are a freshman congressman…runningor
with no opposition you could just walk into
for a second term.
So, last week, former State Rep. Kent Roth,
of Ellinwood, a Democrat when he served in
the Legislature but a registered Republican
and U.S. Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., supporter for
the last 21 years, decided to get into the GOP
primary against Huelskamp.
Now is when it gets interesting…
If Roth can stay the only GOP challenger,
the winner of the primary will need 51 percent of the GOP votes. And that at least partly
(sure, there are other factors) turns the race
into a Yes or No vote on Huelskamp since the
congressman hasnt been tested at the ballot
box since his 2010 primary win. What if the
two-thirds of Republicans, or many of them,
who didnt vote for Huelskamp in 2010 vote
for Roth? Roth wins the primary…and likely
the general election…
See the key here: Roth is hoping to be the
only other candidate on the primary ballot,
and if you were Huelskamp, youd probably
be hoping for more candidates, all he can get
on the ballot. Its safer that way.
If you live in the First District let us know
if you get a box of bumper stickers with
your name on them from Huelskamp for
Christmas…

Ever since the Egyptians
began baking bread, around
2600 B.C., man has eaten
toast, although the reasons
for parching bread today are
far different from those of the
past.
The Egyptians toasted
bread not to alter its taste or
texture but to remove moisture, as a form of preservation. Quite simply, a parched
slice of bread, harboring
fewer molds and spores,
had a longer shelf life in the
Egyptian kitchen.

skewered on prongs and suspended over a fire.
A contraption in the 19th
Century called toaster
oven was the first regularly
manufactured in America.
Constructed as a cage of tin
and wire, it sat over the opening in a coal-powered stove
or over an outdoor camp fire
and held 4-slices of bread tilted toward the center. Rising
heat from the fire gradually darkened one side of the
bread, which was watched
diligently. Then the bread
was turned over.
In the summer of 1910,
Westinghouse in a Saturday
Evening Post advertisement
announced an electric model
toaster. Breakfast without
going to the kitchen! Ready
for service any hour of the
day or night. The ad promised that by simply plugging a
toaster into a wall socket, the
owner could prepare toast in
any room in the house.
The luxury caught on
quickly; many wealthier families installed a toaster in each
bedroom. These toasters cost
$8.95 which was a great deal
of money in those days.

AC Girls get first win, finish 5th in tournament
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
The Lady Bulldogs struggled
through pool play, but did pick up
their first win of the season to finish
5th in the Bulldog-Wildcat Classic
Tournament in Baldwin.
Tuesday, December 10th, the girls
opened pool play with a disheartening 63-33 loss to Burlington.
Burlington controlled the game
early and led 18-8 after the first quarter and 39-20 at intermission. The
third period was much of the same
as Burlington came out strong and
outscored AC 18-6. The Lady Bulldogs
outscored Burlington 7-4 in the
fourth.
Jami Sutton led AC with 8 points.
Paige Schekel and Taylor Porter each
had 6 points.
The second game of pool play
wasnt any easier as Louisburg raced
past the Lady Bulldogs 63-36.
Once again, a large deficit at
halftime left the girls in a hole they
couldnt get out of. Trailing 29-12
at the half, they did show some life
in the third quarter as they were
able to keep pace with Louisburg.
Regardless, Louisburg still outscored
AC 34-24 in the second half to cruise
to the victory.
Scheckel paced the Lady Bulldogs
with 15 points.
Friday night, the girls finally got
that much needed win. The girls faced
off against Iola and came out with a
34-28 victory.
The AC girls led 20-14 at halftime
and both teams added 14 in the second half. It was expected to be a low
scoring affair. Both teams struggled
offensively throughout the tourna-
Crest girls winless at Humboldt tourney
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
The Crest Lancer girls
opened
the
Humboldt
Tournament against the Erie
Red Devils. Erie dominated
Crest as they steamrolled to a
57-24 victory.
The Lancers started slow
and never could get on track
and make a run against the
Red Devils.
Leading the way for Crest
was Emmalee Seabolt with 8
points. Emily Frank scored
6 points and Laural Godderz
had 4 points. Madison Lovey,
Karlee Hammond and Miranda
Golden all chipped in with 2
points each.
The second round of the tournament had the girls matching
up with the Humboldt Cubs.
The girls played much better,
but fell just short in a 54-46
defeat against the host team of
the tournament.
Godderz once again led the
way for the Lancers with 18
points. Golden and Hammond
both scored 8 points. Frank,
Covey and Seabolt rounded
out the scoring with 4 points
apiece.
In the third and final game
of the round-robin tournament, Crest played Uniontown
and lost 64-36.
Uniontown jumped up early
and led 12-6 after the first
quarter and 23-14 at halftime.
Although they were still outscored, the Lancers played the
Eagles tight in the third quarter and trailed 39-24 heading
into the final period. The lack
of depth finally caught up with
the girls as Uniontown took
control in the fourth quarter
as the Lancers were outscored
25-12.
Pacing the scoring for Crest
was Golden with 20 points.
Frank had 6 and Hammond
had 5 points.
The Erie Lancers finished
the Humboldt Round-Robin
Tournament with a 3-0 record
to finish in first place.
Lancers struggle at Humboldt tourney, win one
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
The Crest Lancers boys opened the
Humboldt basketball tournament with a
57-49 loss to the Erie Cubs.
The Cubs jumped up early and led the
Lancers 17-11 after the first quarter. The
second quarter was played very evenly
as both teams managed to score 16, giving the Cubs a 33-27 lead into halftime.
Crest chipped away at the lead in the third
quarter as they outscored Erie 18-14, which
cut the lead to 45-41 heading into the final
period. The Crest squad came up short
though as they stalled in the fourth and
were outscored 12-8.
Four players were in double figures for
Crest. Leading the way was Hunter Frazell
with 12 points. Austin Green, Evan Godderz
and Brock Ellis all scored 11 points. Kellen
Ramsey also helped out with 4 points.
In the second round of the tournament
the Lancers squared off with Humboldt
Cubs. The Cubs won easily 55-27.
Despite the lopsided final score, Crest
still had a chance in the latter half of the
game. The game was 35-25 at one point in
the second half, but a 20-3 run to end the
game turned this one into a rout.
In the final game of the tournament,
the Lancers picked up their first win of
the tournament. They knocked off the
Uniontown Cubs 57-41.
The Lancers started quickly by scoring
21 points in the first and 16 in the second
quarter. This staked them to a 37-22 lead
at the intermission. The second half was
much tighter as Crest outscored Uniontown
just 20-19 for the half.
Frazell knocked down five three-pointers to pace the team with 17 points. Landon
Stephens had 12 points. Also leading the
way for the boys was Godderz with 10
points and Ellis with 9 points.
The host Humboldt Cubs swept their
three games in the Humboldt Round-Robin
Tournament to win the tournament.
Viking girls finish 3rd in tournament
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
The Viking girls got off to a
great start in the opening round
of the Ike Cearfoss Invitational
Tournament with a convincing win over the Kansas City
Christian Academy, 42-18.
KC Christian kept it close in
the first half as Central Heights
led 12-6 after the first quarter and 18-6 at the break. The
Vikings dominated the second
half defensively as they broke
open a close game by outscoring their opponent 24-6.
Sydney Meyer led the way
with 13 points. Kenzie Hayward
scored 9 points and Regan
Markley and Brianna Erhart
each chipped in with 6 points.
The second round saw the
Vikings match up with the
Independence Bulldogs. The
Vikings were over matched in
a 47-25 defeat.
The first quarter was even
as the Bulldogs outscored the
Vikings 9-8. The second and
third quarters saw the Viking
girls get outscored 18-7 and 17-9
to put them behind 44-24. The
fourth quarter saw very little
action as the teams combined
for just 4 points, with the lone
Central Heights points coming
courtesy of a free throw.
Hayward led the team
in scoring with 9 points and
Whitney Kraus had 6 points.
In the final round, the
Vikings squared off against the
Spring Hill Broncos and came
away with 3rd place after a 50-
46 victory.
Central Heights methodically built a 20-15 halftime lead
and led 35-24 heading into the
fourth quarter. The Broncos
werent going to go down without a fight though. Spring Hill
rallied for 22 fourth quarter
points to cut the deficit down to
four by the final buzzer.
For the second time in the
tournament, Meyer led the
team in scoring. Meyer led all
scorers with 20 points, giving
her 36 points for the tournament.
The Ike Cearfoss Invitational
Tournament was won by
Independence as they beat
Coffeyville 53-48 in the championship game.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
Central Heights tipped off
with KC Christian in their
first game of the Ike Cearfoss
Invitational and won 66-43.
The Vikings started strong
and never looked back as they
led 27-7 after the first quarter and 48-21 at halftime. The
pace slowed significantly in the
second half as KC Christian
outscored the Vikings 22-18.
Leading the way for the
Vikings was Jordan Horstick
and Tanner Erhart with 23 and
22 points respectively. Merrick
Brown and Jacob Pryor were
the next highest scorers with 6
points each.
We came out the aggressor
on defense and executed better offensively, Coach Rusty
Cannady said. I thought our
defense gave us some easy scoring chances and we battled better on the boards, Cannady
also stated.
In the second round game,
the Vikings crumbled in
the second half against the
Independence Bulldogs and
went on to lose 62-33.
The Vikings played well in
the first half and trailed by
5 at halftime, 27-22. The third
quarter was an entirely different story though. The Bulldogs
press started paying dividends
and forced the Vikings into
numerous turnovers. Those
turnovers quickly turned
a close game into a blowout
as Independence outscored
Central Heights 20-4 in the
third quarter and 15-7 in the
fourth quarter.
Going into the game we
knew we had to cherish the
basketball and not turn it over.
During the first half we did
that, Cannady said regarding his teams first half performance.
Trailing by only two possessions at halftime we felt pretty
good. Then we got anxious and
started to try things we havent
practiced and fell into their
game. We were terrible in the
third quarter, Cannady said.
We let the kids know this will
happen early in the year and
that we need to learn and move
on. This will be good for our
kids to learn from early in the
season.
Horstick led the team offensively with 20 points.
THIRD PLACE GAME
Spring Hill met up with
Central Heights in final round
to determine third place.
Results as of print time were
unavailable.
Coffeyville won the Ike
Cearfoss Invitational with a 4239 victory over Independence
in the championship game.

AC Bulldog boys lose
three at tournament
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
The Anderson County
Bulldog Boys have struggled
early on this season and the
results of the Bulldog-Wildcat
Classic Tournament didnt go
any better.
On Tuesday, December 10th
the boys lost to Burlington 5546 to open the tournament.
Burlington jumped out of
the gate and led 19-6 after the
first quarter and held that lead
the majority of game. Anderson
County did outscore Burlington
in the second half 34-27, but it
just was too little too late.
Spencer Walter led the way
for Anderson County with 17
points. Tanner Lickteig added
8 points and Zach Hillard had 7
points.
On Wednesday, the first
quarter again doomed AC in
the second game of pool play.
Louisburg raced out to a 20-10
lead and steadily built the lead
each quarter on their way to a
comfortable 56-37 victory.
Jacob Rundle had 10 points.
Eric Small and Hillard both
had 8 points.
With a 0-2 record in pool play,
the Bulldogs were paired up
with Iola in the 5th place game
Friday evening. Iola jumped all
over ACHS and won the game
58-43.
The Bulldogs trailed just 3024 at halftime. AC didnt come
out to play though in the third
as they were outscored 13-3 and
putting an end to any hopes
they had at a comeback.
AC was led by Lickteig with
17 points and Rundle with 12
points.
The Bulldog-Wildcat Classic
was won by Baldwin as they
knocked off Louisburg 61-40 in
the championship game.

Greeley Elementary students entertained family and friends Tuesday night with their presentation of Santas Workshop. The
play, written by Music Director, Jeff Russell, combined the acting and singing talents of K-6th graders. The story was based
on 3 youngsters who dream about seeing Santas Workshop and all that it would be. Many traditional songs were performed
throughout the play including Frosty the Snowman, My Two Front Teeth and Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire. Above,
the lead characters in the play, Santas Workshop, Greeley students Remi Kennard, Mya Miller and Tyler Gibson take the

GARNETT – During the annual Kansas
Hospital Association (KHA) Investiture
and Awards Luncheon, held on Nov. 7,
two Anderson County Hospital leaders
were honored by receiving the inaugural KHA Trustee of the Year award.
Bill Barnes, chair of the Anderson
County Hospital Board of Trustees, and
Dave Lybarger, chair of the hospitals
Operating Board for Saint Lukes of
Garnett were honored at the luncheon
that took place during the KHAs Annual
Convention and Trade Show in Wichita.
Barnes and Lybarger were selected,
in part, because of their instrumental
role in spearheading a successful campaign to promote a $25 million bond
issue, which will now allow for the construction of a new Anderson County
Hospital. Throughout the campaign,
Barnes and Lybarger committed countless hours to secure community support.
We cant imagine having better
advocates for Anderson County Hospital
than Bill and Dave, Denny Hachenberg,
CEO, said. We join the KHA in publicly
congratulating them both on this well
deserved award. We sincerely thank
them both for their tireless work on our
behalf. I couldnt possibly list all the
ways they have helped us be a better
hospital for our patients.
Bill Barnes has served on the
Anderson County Hospital Board of
BUSINESS BEAT
Trustees and the Board of
Directors of Saint Lukes
of Garnett for 20 years. In
his nomination submission,
Barnes is described as having an unwavering commitment to the hospital.
He led the initiative to build
the Family Care Center on
the hospital campus in 1995,
led the bond issue campaign
to conduct a $3.8 million
renovation to the hospital
in 1999, and presided over
the Master Facility Plan.
He is a recognized community leader who has resided,
with his wife and family,
in Garnett for the past 50
years.
Dave Lybarger has served
as chairman of the Saint
Lukes of Garnett Operating
Board for four years. In that
time, he has been instrumental in helping to recruit

need to spend just $1 more than
the budgeted amount. Such
adjustments are not uncommon.
The largest adjustment to the
2013 budget comes in the general fund, where the budget was
increased more than $100,000,
from an expected $594,550 to
$702,420. Although that figure
is high, in reality it mostly represents an accounting change.
The city pays franchise fees to
Lyon-Coffey Electric, but those
franchise fees were transferred
from the utility fund to the general fund. Because the transfer
caused an increase in the general fund, city officials need to
amend the budget.

which is still used for operations.
Even in small rural towns
where banks still remain,
its rare to find one in which
the owners still live in town.
Technology, risk and economies of scale have meant most
small town banks have, over
the years, been collected into
larger organizations and holding companies. But in Greeley,
the Rockers brothers still not
only call the town home but provide leadership and resources
to help the community survive.
Greeleys been good to us,
Pat Rockers said. Were trying to help keep it from fading
away.
That mission has required
some doing. Though Greeley
never developed a lot of population a high of about 500 people
in 1910 its lost about 40 residents since 1990 but has only
a handful of downtown businesses remaining.
When the towns prime
meeting spot and only caf/bar
closed after a fire last summer,
the Bank of Greeley purchased
the shell and funded repairs
aimed at leasing or selling it
back to an operator who hopefully will reinvigorate the social
focus of the towns main street.
Dating to 1871, The Greeley Caf
is the second oldest business
interest in Anderson County
and the oldest to operate continuously at the same location.
The building should be ready
for an operator by the end of
February 2014.
We hope to get it operating again soon, Mike Rockers
said.
It was the banks financial
initiative in the early 1990s that
brought new classroom space
to Greeley Elementary school
and a second initiative later in
which the bank partnered with
the school district to share the
financial load of further expansion. It was an out of character
move for most banks, but maintaining the school was vital to
the community.
Mike and I had both been on
the school board and we knew
the kind of cramped quarters
they had, said Pat Rockers. It
was a situation that because of
the low numbers of students
the district couldnt fund it completely couldnt justify spending that much money here. We
felt like it really needed to be
done if we wanted the school to
survive.
While the banks commit-
Appliance
and Repair
ment to the town has remained,
banking as a business has
changed broadly even since the
bank turned 100. A more intense
regulatory burden and moves
by private financing companies
into such things as auto loans
and farm equipment have made
it rare for BOG to make loans in
those areas any more, its management said. The bank still
makes ag and real estate loans,
recognizing the opportunity to
serve core area industry and
encourage reinvestment in local
housing.
The types of loans that typically we make have changednarrowed, Mike Rockers said.
Technology too has challenged
the bank and pitted the desire
for modern convenience against
a smaller banks forte personal service.
We dont have near the
lobby traffic we used to because
so many of our customers have
direct deposit, whether it be government or an employer, Mike
Rockers said. With debit cards
and ATMs people dont have
the same need to come in and
deposit or cash their check.
The bank doesnt offer online
banking a move that requires
a much larger technology commitment and comes with even
higher regulatory responsibilities.
How much longer well
maintain that stance, I dont
know, Mike Rockers said.
You have to be able to keep
up with technology to a certain
extent or your customer base
diminishes. I think there has
been some business we havent
obtained because we dont have
a website.
But the people who dropped
by Friday to celebrate with the
bank didnt seem to mind the
lack of online presence. They
were familiar faces dealing with
familiar bank staff in the same
location theyd known most all
of their lives. Pat Rockers said
that personal connection and
face-to-face service was still
vital to many of their customers. Its part of the reward of
being in a family banking business, along with the feeling of
laying your bets down with the
community.
I think the most rewarding
thing is seeing somebody succeed and feeling like you assisted or gave some kind of helping hand, Mike Rockers said.
Seeing customers progress in
their businesses or their agricultural operations and succeed
over more than a short period
of time I think thats when the
satisfaction comes.
The next largest amount, a
$92,000 increase, will cover additional street repair work and
improvements to the citys skate
park. City officials decided to go
over budget and spend about
$223,000 to repair more streets
than anticipated in 2013 because
they had enough money in the
reserve fund to cover the work.
Money for street repairs comes
from capital outlay or utility reserves, but mostly from a
half-cent sales tax that voters
approved in the late 1990s to pay
for a new ball complex, library
improvements and street work.
In better economic times, that
fund collected a hefty amount.
In recent years, it hasnt fared
as well.
In the last five years, weve
spent almost a million dollars
(on street repair), Martin said.
We have about $150,000 to carry
over for next year but the bond
payments for the library and
ball complex will have to come
out of that. We probably wont
be able do as much next year.
Other amendments approved
by city commissioners last week
wont actually cost taxpayers
money. For example, the library
received insurance money to
replace items stolen earlier
this year. In order for the city
to use that insurance money,
they needed to amend the
librarys budget from $135,390
to $143,630.
The citys airport saw more
planes this year, and because of
that the city needed to purchase
more fuel than they expected.
Most of that money will be
reimbursed as pilots fill up their
tanks and buy the fuel from the
city.
The recreation center added
a staff member and extended
hours, which led to an increase
in the budget to cover salaries.
But the city also increase participation fees at the center, and
those fees are expected to cover
the salary increases.

Understanding who God is
Last week I referenced a
quote by John Calvin who was
an influential French theologian during the Protestant
Reformation. Calvin said, Man
never achieves a clear knowledge of himself, he can never
know who he is unless he has
first looked upon Gods face
and then descends from contemplating him to scrutinizing
himself.
It is the norm for us to compare people, events and situations with other people, events
and situations because we can
draw a conclusion based on
human reasoning. The flaw
with this logic is it is broad and
subjective. For example if we
compare ourselves or our situation to someone else we usually
choose someone or something
that we feel superior to in most
respects.
Jesus provides an illustration of this in Luke 18:9-14 with
this parable. Two men went
up to the temple to pray, one
a Pharisee and the other a tax
collector. The Pharisee stood
up and prayed about himself:
God, I thank you that I am not
like other men- robbers, evildoers, adulterers- or even like this
tax collector. I fast twice a week
and give a tenth of what I get.
But the tax collector stood
at a distance. He would not
even look up to heaven, but beat
his breast and said, God, have
mercy on me a sinner.
Jesus concludes the parable
by saying, I tell you the truth
this man, rather than the other
went home justified before God.
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he
who humbles himself will be

exalted. God does not view
us the way we view ourselves.
God looks into our heart. I cant
know your heart and you cant
know my heart but God knows
each of our hearts.
Calvin was right.
Until
we come clean with God and
relinquish our heart of stone,
a heart for ourselves, we can
never really know who we are.
This involves looking into the
face of God and like the tax collector admitting we need Gods
mercy because we are sinners.
We then can begin to scrutinize
ourselves. We then will begin to
develop a heart of flesh.
God makes a promise to
Israel in Ezekiel 36:26-28 when
he says. I will give you a knew
heart and put a new spirit in
you; I will remove from you
your heart of stone and give
you a heart of flesh. And I
will put my Spirit in you and
move you to follow my decrees
and be careful to keep my laws.
You will live in the land I gave
your forefathers; you will be my
people and I will be your God.
We must understand who we
are in relation to God. When
we have that understanding we
will begin to arrange our lives
to know God even better.
