20 first graders and six adults
at the school, concerned parents and residents have called
Turner to discuss the tragedy.
To make a blanket statement that well be 100 percent
safe is not possible, Turner
said. I tell them, well do the
best we can to keep them safe.
The shooting has brought
issues surrounding school security into focus. Media reports
say 20-year-old Adam Lanza
gained access to the school by
shooting out a window, and
killed the school principal
and school counselor as they
attempted to stop him.

system possible.
The new elementary school
locks all doors at 8 a.m. and
allows only one entrance
through the office during
school hours. The school also
has an alarm system. Local
police also work with schools,
businesses and other places to
train for a variety of scenarios, Garnett Police Chief Kevin
Pekarek said.
Nelson said tragedies like the
school shooting in Connecticut
force people to take a good,
hard look at the morals and
standards that are acceptable.
Its something we have to
deal with in society as a whole,
Nelson said. Twenty years ago,
nobody ever thought of security like that in our schools. Now
its something we have to think

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT At least three people were injured and a fourth
managed to escape injury in a
trio of one-vehicle wrecks over
the course of one day last week.
The wrecks, all occurring
Wednesday, Dec. 12, included
two rollovers, one involving a
15-year-old driver and another
with an infant passenger. In the
third wreck, a car struck a tree
but no one was injured.
The first wreck was at about
7:30 a.m. on U.S. 59 near Norton
Road. Driver Kyle Scott Riblett,
15, Kincaid, was headed west on
U.S. 59 when his vehicle left the
roadway, entered a ditch and
rolled, according to a report
from the Kansas Highway Patrol.
Riblett was taken to Anderson
County Hospital for treatment
of injuries. An update on his

GARNETT- Most of the applicants for a vacancy on the city
commission are no strangers
to the inner workings of city
government. They include a
former 24-year member of the
commission and a handful of
people who serve on city advisory boards.
Applicants will face the first
round of interviews today and
Thursday, as Mayor Greg Gwin
and commissioner Preston
Peine will grill applicants with
a series of questions about their
qualifications and interest.
From there, commissioners will
narrow the field and eventually
decide who they want to fill the
seat left by Dan Morgan when
he moved to Texas in November.
In case of a tie between two
candidates, city attorney Terry

Contest encourages Kansans
to improve health, fitness
Governor challenges
Kansans to fight
obesity, get fit
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – This year, that
traditional New Years resolution to lose weight could
be a little easier, a little more
fun and a little more rewarding – literally.
Anderson
County
Hospital and the City of
Garnett have posed a challenge to area residents to
make Anderson County the
healthiest county in Kansas.
To help people meet that
goal, theyve proclaimed 2013
as the Healthy Community
Challenge Year. People can
form teams of five to lose
weight, get healthy and win
prizes. A registration kickoff party will be from 4 p.m.
to 6 p.m. Jan. 3 at Anderson
County Hospital.
Earlier this year, Gov.
Sam Brownback issued
a statewide Weight Loss
Challenge for the 2013 legislative session. Brownback
said he wanted Kansas residents to become physically
active and eat well to combat the epidemic of obesity.
The Go Anderson County
Wellness Initiative is taking
Brownback up on his offer
by establishing a local contest. Teams will compete
locally and with other teams
throughout the state.
The Go Anderson County
Wellness Initiative began at
Anderson County Hospital,
which sponsored several
programs in the community
as the hospital celebrated
its 60th anniversary. It has
expanded its reach by partnering with other organiza-
tions and already has seen an
increase in healthful activities throughout the county.
Government officials at the
county level and in the City
of Garnett have agreed to
pay for memberships at the
Garnett Recreation Center,
joining the hospital, whose
officials made a similar
move several months ago.
Now, the City of Garnett
is partnering with the initiative to improve the health of
community residents in 2013.
Mayor Greg Gwin signed a
resolution at the city commission meeting Dec. 13,
declaring 2013 as the Healthy
Community Challenge Year
in Garnett. City commissioners pledged to make
fighting obesity a priority in
2013. Toward that goal, the
city will provide access to

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Economic development isnt just about attracting
new business to a community,
economic development director Dennis Arnold told Garnett
commissioners at their Dec. 13
meeting.
Even though its important
to recruit new business and
industry, its essential to help
existing businesses, Arnold
said.
Arnold is working with
city officials on a survey that
will ask area residents what
types of businesses or services
they would like or need. For
example, City Manager Joyce
Martin said she was surprised
to learn there is nowhere in
Garnett to purchase zippers,
and people who sew must travel
out of town to purchase a zipper. Perhaps there is an existing
business that could add zippers
to their inventory, Martin said,
but unless business owners or
managers know what people
need, they wont know what to
offer.
Thats the kind of example
that shows how economic development can benefit existing
businesses, Arnold said. Local

any more about purchasing a lay down

called to another one-vehicle
wreck at the junction of U.S. 59
and 169 about five miles south
of Garnett. A vehicle left the
roadway and struck a tree, but
the driver did not report injuries and was not taken to a hospital by emergency responders.
Because there were no injuries,
the accident report was not
immediately available from the
highway patrol.

Gwin and fellow commissioner Preston Peine said theyve
already formed a team with
their wives and a friend.
The wellness initiative has

the interviews.
A brief bio of the seven applicants follows:
Gordon Blackie is an engineer and owner of Lighthouse
Electric. He also works with
MidWest Missionair to provide
Christian mission and disaster
relief work, and works with
Skyeflite to provide FAA certified flight training, aircraft
maintenance and inspection.
He has served on the citys
airport board for more than five
years and also has served on the
citys tourism committee.
A. Keith Finney has worked
for the Anderson County
Sheriffs Department since 1994.
He has served as a correctional
officer/jailer, a road deputy and
an instructor. He said his experience in law enforcement has
helped him learn how to solve
problems.
Cecila Lamb worked for
the Garnett Area Chamber of
Commerce about three years
and currently serves on the
citys tourism board, is chairperson of the citys Branding
and Imaging Committee, and
serves on the Anderson County
Cornstock board. She believes a
positive outlook can make a big
difference in the community,
according to her application letter.
Ken Miller is owner of a
vehicle detailing business in
Garnett, KDS Auto Detailing.
He is chairman of the Creative
BUSINESSES…
Business Partnerships committee for the city. He also is an
active member of the Anderson
County Veterans Memorial
Committee and has participated in several other community
programs.
Mike Norman is a former
city commissioner who lost the
April 2012 election to Peine.
Norman had served on the commission about 24 years.
Melanie Smith grew up in
Garnett and graduated from
Anderson County High School.
She has a masters degree in educational technology and teaches
mathematics at Allen County
Community College. She cites
communication and organization as the skills that make her
the most qualified candidate.
Ann Marie Strobel is new to
Garnett but has a strong desire
to serve in the community, she
said in her application letter.
She graduated from Ozark
Christian College where she
served as student body president. She has a masters degree
in mental health counseling and
works as an outpatient therapist
at the Southeast Kansas Mental
Health Center.
Commissioners have said
they would like to appoint someone to the position by the end of
2012, but that may be unlikely
because of the busy holiday season. The person appointed to
the seat likely will serve about
15 months, which is the remainder of Morgans term until the
seat comes up for election in
April 2014.
FROM PAGE 1A
businesses that are struggling
or want to expand may need
a little help from the community. Its important to make sure
existing businesses can survive
and thrive; efforts to recruit
new business could be helped
if potential entrepreneuers saw
the community will continue to
support them beyond the initial
start-up.
Like most of the rest of the
country, small businesses in
Anderson County continue to
struggle through an anemic
economy which has managed
only a feeble recovery from the
full-scale national recession
of 2009-2010. The problem has
been exacerbated locally by the
loss of three local manufacturers – 70 local jobs- over the past
two years or so.
Aside from the benefits of
helping existing businesses,
theres also a more practical
reason for economic development leaders to devote their
time to existing businesses
rather than recruiting business
and industry.
Frankly, right now not a
lot of businesses are moving,
Arnold said.
Arnold cites an example of
industrial lots offered for sale
by the city, and a manufacturing building offered rent-free
for the first three years. The
city significantly reduced its
asking price for two industrial
lots, and although a potential
buyer has talked with the city
about one of the lots, no deal has
been reached. As for the former
Warner Manufacturing building, the 11,000 square foot building and about five acres has
been offered with free rent for
three years but there have been
no serious inquiries in three
months of promotion, Arnold
said. If a business was looking
to relocate, the Warner building
should be a serious contender.
The fact that there is virtually
no interest in the offer shows
there is little interest in relocating to the area, Arnold said.
Internal growth will be the
key until more businesses feel
secure enough with the economy to expand or move to other
locations, Arnold said.
Were working with some
(local businesses) that are struggling, to help keep them afloat,
and were working with some
that want to expand, Arnold
said. He declined to provide
specific details about the businesses.
Arnold said he visits with
local businesses about potential
issues or needs they have, and
is looking forward to the citys
survey to help expand that discussion.
Martin said city staff are
working on the survey, which
will appear later, perhaps in an
edition of the citys Town Talk
newsletter.

City post decision
should be based on
ability, not estrogen
During his exit from the Garnett
City Commission recently, former commissioner Dan Morgan commented
as to his eventual replacement to be
appointed by remaining members of
the commission that hed like to see a
woman selected because it would promote diversity on the commission.
Though its a
grand nod to the
EDITORIAL
liberal mantra
of inclusion, for
practical purposes that ideas
all wet.
First and foremost, Garnett
needs a competent and energetic individual
with a history of
performance and

civic and professional to fill that vacancy; someone
with a history of leadership accomplishment who can embrace a productive vision for the city and effectively
pursue it. Diversity in sex or other
qualities might be part of the deal by
happenstance, but should never be the
priority.
Morgans call for a female commissioner harkens back to the concept
embraced commonly by liberals that
somehow diversity in and of itself
makes things better; that somehow,
by having membership by other than
white males, companies, arms of government or other organizations will
somehow end up generally better off,
more inclusionary, more reflective of
some body of population and by virtue
of that, more fair.
Nowadays some of those organizations, primarily to avoid litigation more
than anything else, spend money on
diversity training as a means to get
staff and organization members on
board with the pop-culture idea that the
mission of the group isnt as important
as its makeup.
Thats hogwash, particularly when
there is so much at stake as in the success or failure of a community.
Its not to say that women havent
made significant contributions to city
government, both elected commissioners and as city staffers. They have and
still do. But the idea that somehow a
woman should given be preference simply because shes a woman is actually
slighting, in a way, to women whove
already performed admirably without
the advantage of such preference.
Garnett faces a number of intense
challenges. Finances are tight and
tightening due to losses of utility dollars through the closing of the local
ethanol plant and miniscule interest
earnings on city idle funds. The national political climate will no doubt force
more intrusion by the federal government into local city business, and those
federal and state mandates will have
to be funded and managed. Garnett in
particular will be looked to for leadership in finding a solution to its crumbling historic business district as well
as an exodus by companies which cost
the community 70 jobs in recent years.
These are challenges best approached
by those with the proper tools, not
those of some proper sex.

The Battle of Lansing
BY RICH LOWRY
NATIONAL REVIEW
Michigan gave birth to the United
Auto Workers. The union was founded
at a convention in Detroit in 1935. After
its famous sit-down strike in Flint,
Mich., in 1937, the UAW won recognition by General Motors and, in the next
several years, by Chrysler and Ford. It
was the advent of an era
of industrial unionization that may be coming
to a symbolic end in the
same place it started.
Michigan just passed the
kind of right to work
law that is anathema to
unions everywhere and
Lowry
is associated with the
red states of the Sun Belt, not the blue
states of the Rust Belt. To say that such
a development is stunning is almost
an understatement. The union model
hasnt just been central to Michigans
economy, but to its very identity.
At its inception, UAW officials got
roughed up by company thugs at the
famous Battle of the Overpass, when
Ford was still resisting signing a contract with the union. Some 70 years
later, the union movement is getting
undone by simple economic realities.
The effect of right-to-work laws,
which permit employees to work at
unionized companies without joining
the union and paying mandatory dues,
is hard to pin down precisely, because
so many other factors affect a states
economic condition. But Michigan
began undergoing a real-world experiment after neighboring Indiana adopted
a right-to-work law earlier this year, the
first Rust Belt state to do so.
The early returns werent encouraging. The Mackinac Center, a freemarket Michigan think tank, reports
that Indiana added 43,300 jobs — 13,900
of them in manufacturing — while
Michigan shed 7,300 jobs. Michigan Gov.
Rick Snyder, a Republican reformer
but not a bomb thrower, says seeing 90
companies from around the country
decide to settle in Indiana after the labor
change influenced his willingness to
sign a bill doing the same thing.
The effect of right-to-work laws,
which permit employees to work
at unionized companies without
joining the union and paying mandatory dues, is hard to pin down
precisely, because so many other
factors affect a states economic
condition.
Michigan was already losing out
to right-to-work states before having
one on its border. Shikha Dalmia of
Reason magazine points out that, with
the exception of a brief foray by Mazda,
no foreign automaker has set up shop
in Michigan, despite the states pool of
experienced autoworkers. It is hard to
be a manufacturing state specializing in
autos if you cant attract new automakers.
Election Day in Michigan brought a
stark illustration of the declining political power of the unions when they failed
to pass an amendment to the states constitution banning right-to-work. More
Michiganders voted no on the amendment, the Mackinac Center notes, than
voted for President Barack Obama. The
failure emboldened the Republican-held
legislature to push ahead on a right-towork measure.
The unions so fear right-to-work
laws because mandatory dues are such
a boon to them. Theres nothing like
forcing people to belong to your organization to boost the membership rolls
and the treasury. In one month in 2011
after Gov. Scott Walker ended mandatory dues for public-sector unions in
Wisconsin, the American Federation of
State, County and Municipal Employees
shed half its members, according to The
Wall Street Journal.
So many decades after they, in effect,
won the Battle of the Overpass, the
unions have lost the Battle of Lansing.

Review.
Hi. Congratulations on the new location for the Short Stop. I wish you the
best, its really nice. The bonus for me
is fewer waits for an available pump.
Merry Christmas.
To the moron on First Street saying
that its her sidewalk and her driveway.
Well, its against the law to park across
the sidewalk, whether you like it or not.
Park a little further up in your driveway
instead of blocking the sidewalk. Use
a little common sense. It is against the
law.
Im getting a little disgusted with all the
moaning and groaning thats going on
about this sidewalk situation. If the city
had been taking care of the sidewalks
over the years the way they should have
the cost wouldnt have been so much to
fix them. Ive watched people tear their
sidewalks out and nothing done about
it. They deserve what theyre getting
now with having to fix the sidewalks.
A sidewalk is a public right of way, and
even though it may cross your driveway
it does so on a city easement property.
As such it is not to be blocked by vehicles. If anybody has a problem with that
they should take it up with the chief of
police or the police department or the
city. It doesnt make any difference. It
is a public right of way and it is not to
be blocked.
Somebody at the new school needs to
tell the administrators there that just
because its 40 degrees out, when the
wind is blowing like its blowing, its in
the 30s and those kids have no business
being outside.
Work hard all your life and then get
(deleted) by the government and the
city of Garnett.
Where was God at the shooting in
Connecticut, you ask? Why, in the back
seat of course, right where weve put
him the past 50 years while we took the
Ten Commandments off of courthouse
squares, taken down crosses from public land to honor fallen soldiers, allowed
abortion to continue and took him out of
our schools and even out of Christmas?
That 20 year-old shooter had grown up
in the most godless United States there
has ever been. You cant take God out of
your country and then expect him to be
there when you need him.
Two-year budget plan could be a wish list
An almost off-the-cuff comment by
Gov. Sam Brownbackthat he plans to
present the Legislature with a two-year
budget at his State of the State address
next monthinstantly sparked intense
discussion by us Statehouse watchers.
Two years? Sounds simple. Just what
you hope to spend in the coming fiscal
year that starts July 1, and what you
hope to spend the next year.
Well, maybe. Maybe not.
First off, at this point, there just isnt
any reasonable information about revenues for the fiscal year after nextthat
second year of that two-year budget. The
governor has the officialwhich means
it has to be the basis of his budget for
the upcoming fiscal yearestimate of
revenues from the Consensus Revenue
Estimating Group for the state fiscal year
that starts in July. The year after? No
estimate.
And, remember, the year-after-next
is likely to be the one that will reflect
most practically the effects of the coming years major tax cuts. It will be a
year before we know whether everyone
in Kansas becomes a Limited Liability
Company and therefore exempt from
most state income taxesor not.
That immediately makes the second
year of a budget more of a wish list than
a budget. Nobody will expect that second
year to be right on the nose, but its going
to be the governors best guess of rev-
by Martin Hawver
KANSAS STATEHOUSE COLUMNIST
enues and expenses of the second year.
That second year? Well, thats also a
gubernatorial election year, and were
presuming that years budget will set the
stage for a reelection campaign. So, the
rosier that the governor predicts the outyear budget to be, the better chance for
reelection.
The states tradition of year-at-a-time
budgeting probably isnt the best way to
plight the troth of a state. Theres a value
to certainty of revenues for agencies,
of course. And, theres the chance, in a
two-year budget, to buy support. Would
school districts, which for years have
sought two-year budgets for their planning purposes, pay one or two percent for
that certainty?
The ways this can go are amazing.
Say revenues increase in that out-year?
Theres more spending available. Say
revenues drop further than expected this
year, and youve immediately resigned
agencies and others who depend on the
state for even more bleak budgets in the
out year.
Sound interesting? Thats what has
folks who deal with the state hyped up
for what happens next. Does a two-year
budget force lawmakers to extend the
penny sales tax so that out-year isnt all
doom and gloom? You can make the case
for that.
Or, you may be able to make the case
that with a two-year budget the 2014
Legislature might get by with a shorter
session, just tending to loose ends everyother-year and whatever social legislation is still in the wind, and tout the efficiency that youve created for the people
of Kansas.
Of course, theres always the possibility that this years budget crunch
will be so severeand were looking at a
roughly $300 million shortfallthat lawmakers will tell the governor thanks, but
no thanks.
Yes, a two-year budget sounds simple…but…

Farm Issues
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 06-29-2010 / Vickie Moss
Delegates from Anderson County attended Kansas Farm Bureaus Annual Meeting Dec. 4-5 in Manhattan. Pictured here are
L-R: Gail Kueser, Debbie Kueser, John Pracht and Jacob Strobel. More than 400 Farm Bureau members of Kansas wrapped
up important business for their farm organization after debating and adopting policy statements for 2013. These policies will
now become the roadmap for the organization during the upcoming legislative session.
Schools boost local economy
The anti-tax, anti-government, anti-education special
interest groups loudly proclaim
the benefits of cutting government and taxes; and unfortunately, they occasionally sway
others.
But the anti-tax hysteria
ignores the fact that government, especially public education, is a major employer and
has a major positive economic
impact in its own right.
Jim Hays, of the Kansas
Association of School Boards,
extrapolated an economic
impact study done by North
Carolina State economist
Michael Walden for the Virginia
Beach, Va., school district. (As
an aside, the Virginia Beach
school district cant levy taxes;
school taxes are levied by the
city, and the board commissioned the economic-impact
study in hopes of generating
more sympathy from the city.)
Hays looked at the most recent
U.S. Census data on a countyby-county and district-by-district basis.
In years past, USD 365 has
been the largest employer in
the county, and I assume thats
still the case. It also pays among
some of the highest salaries in
the county.
For Anderson County, school
district payrolls (including
Anderson County and Crest)
made up slightly more than 13
percent of the total payroll in
the county, and 3.4 percent of
total personal income (which
I assume includes pensions,
stock and interest income, etc.)
Both figures appear to be slightly higher or fairly typical for
rural counties.
In terms of wages, Hays used
two different years but I believe
there wasnt enough difference
from year to year to skew the
results. The average wage paid
per job in Anderson County
(the Census figures show nearly
4,300 jobs in Anderson County)
at $27,110 in 2009. The average salary paid for teachers in
Anderson County in 2010 was
$49,108.
Whats more, KPERS pays a
little more than $1.7 million in
benefits to retired teachers living in Anderson County.
The Value
of Schools
Guest Column
by Cleon
Rickel
USD 365
Board of
Education
member
Sometimes we forget how
important schools are to our
economy, John Heim, Kansas
Association of School Boards
executive director, said. In
Kansas communities, the school
district is one of the largest
employers and provides many
of the best paying jobs.
Despite the sneers from the
anti-government think tanks,
the jobs offered by USD 365 are
precisely those that cities, counties and the state would kill for highly educated employees who
are relatively well-paid and
have decent pensions, and who
form the bedrock of the community, taking an active part in
youth groups such as 4-H and
Scouts, arts and culture groups,
and social organizations and
churches.
So while state politicians
delight in providing economic
incentives for private employers in Kansas, or in their town,
the fact remains that their own
school districts are among the
most significant community
economic resources, Hays
said. Nowhere is this more
correct than in rural counties,
and most Kansas counties are
quite rural.
Cuts to school funding can
create significant negative economic impacts, he said.
I heard recently from a
school board member from
western Kansas who sourly
noted the states efforts along
that line. With much ballyhoo
a few years ago, the Brownback
Administration unveiled and
touted the Rural Opportunity
Zone covering about 50 western
and central counties. The ROZ
offered a 100 percent income
tax break and other incentives
to those who moved into those
counties.
At the same time, because of
state funding cuts, the ROZ area
lost 1,500 teaching jobs. The
trade-off, in the words of the
western Kansas board member,
was unimpressive. The ROZ
would never generate enough
good-paying jobs to replace the
teaching jobs, he said.
I should also note that much
of the economic benefit is being
paid not entirely by Anderson
County taxpayers but the state
at large. State aid to Anderson
County school districts made
up slightly more than 77 percent of the total of the general
and LOB general funds.
But wait! That, as they say
in all those loud infomercials,
isnt all.
Hays localized the Virginia
Beach study to show the economic impact of students who
graduate with a high school
diploma.
Mining the Census data on
how much more money high
school graduates would make
over their compared to dropouts,
the 61 members of the Class of
2011 of Anderson County High
School could be expected to
receive $633,546 more each year
because they have high school
diplomas. (The Census Bureau
estimates high school graduates make $10,386 more per year
than dropouts.) They will likely
spend $475,160 more each year
and invest $158,387 more each
year.
Economic
development
experts say that for every dollar spent locally, it will have an
impact that multiplies as that
dollar rolls through the economy – the multiplier is 1.53.
With that multiplier, the
extra spending by the Class of
2011 would have the affect of
$726,994. In local economies, an
additional $145,000 of spending
results in one new job, so mathematically, the extra spending
from those diplomas issued by
ACHS in 2011 resulted in five
new jobs.
Of course, many of those
graduates went to college, taking that economic potential
elsewhere, but many grads
return with more valuable
college degrees or from other
school districts.
But wait! That, as they say
in all those loud infomercials,
isnt all.
The study notes that because
those 61 students received their
diplomas and didnt drop out,
Anderson County had its crime
spending cut by $110,349 this
year and the state and federal
governments had $17,362 in
reduced Medicaid and uninsured medical costs.

USDA grants flexibility
on school meals; waste,
cost remain a concern
WASHINGTON, DC U.S.
Senator Pat Roberts (R-Kan.)
today said the U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA) has
agreed with his request to grant
schools flexibility in implementing the new guidelines for the
National School Breakfast and
Lunch programs, but significant concerns remain on waste
and costs of the new policies.
Providing flexibility is a
key component to implementing such dramatic changes to
school meals, and I applaud
Secretary Vilsack for responding to my request, Roberts
said. However, I am still concerned with USDAs lack of
fully understanding the estimated costs to schools and plate
waste once they are required to
meet all of USDAs new rules.
I will continue to monitor the
implementation of this rule,
and its impact on schools in
Kansas as well as the rest of
the country. I look forward to
working with Secretary Vilsack
to continue to improve school
nutrition while ensuring our
students are adequately fed.
At issue were complaints
raised by students, parents,
coaches and administrators that
the USDAs new nutrition guidelines for the National School
Lunch and School Breakfast
programs were not meeting the
needs of active students.
In October, Roberts sent a
letter to USDA requesting justification of the new policies
and further analysis of their
effects on active students, on
school participation in the program and on the industry and
economy as a whole.
Senator Roberts is ranking member of the Senate
Committee on Agriculture,
Nutrition and Forestry which
has jurisdiction on nutrition
programs.
Annual state report
indicates Kansas child
deaths at a 15-year low
TOPEKA The number of child
deaths reported in Kansas in
2010 was the lowest in 15 years,
Kansas Attorney General Derek
Schmidt announced Dec. 11.
The Kansas State Child Death
Review Board has released its
annual report, analyzing statistics of the deaths of children age
17 and younger. During 2010, 441
children died in Kansas. That
is the lowest number of child
deaths in Kansas in any year
since 1995, when 404 children
died. The current report analyzes data from 2010, the most
recent year for which data is
available.
Dealing with the death
of a child is always difficult,
Attorney General Schmidt said.
The work of the State Child
Death Review Board helps us
to understand the trends and
focus resources where they are
most needed to keep our children safe.
Natural deaths remained
the cause in the majority of
the child fatalities, accounting
for 302 of the total cases. Of
the natural deaths, 55 percent
were infants younger than 30
days. Prematurity and congenital conditions accounted for a
majority of those deaths.
Unintentional injuries caused
91 child deaths in 2010, with
55 percent of those being the
result of motor vehicle crashes.
In the motor vehicle accidents,
71 percent of the fatality victims
did not use, or misused, safety
restraints.
The Board is a multi-disciplinary, multi-agency volunteer board organized within
the Attorney Generals Office
to examine trends and patterns
that identify risk factors in the
deaths of children, from birth
through 17 years of age.

BURLINGTON – The Central

with a lot of hustle last week
but took a beating 74-25.
Even though we fell way
short in points tonight, I am
very pleased with the effort and
the aggressiveness of the girls
tonight, said head coach Scott

passion that we have to play
with day in and day out.
Burlington took control early

BURLINGTON – A cold start

what turned out to be a tight 6963 loss for the Vikings.
Usually playing on the road

So going in we were 10 down
already. When the game started
we were flat – no energy, and
careless. Two minutes in we
were down 7-0. With spotting
them 10 already, making it 17-0.
That is a tough hole to dig yourself out of.
The Vikes came back to life
in the second period and trailed
by three 37-34 at the half. They
cut the lead to a single point in
the third period but lacked the
momentum to capitalize on it.
We could never get over the
hump, Cannady said.

Dodgeball tourney attracts players of all ages
It was an early Saturday morning, but not too early for the eager
participants of the TSA Dodgeball
Tournament held Dec 1st at the
Rec Center. The tournament, organized by the Technology Student
Association at ACHS, was made up
of four teams of various ages. The
youngest participant was in second

Commission approves
$33.15M increase in
KCP&L rate application
TOPEKA – Today, the Kansas
Corporation Commission (KCC
or Commission) approved an
overall rate increase of $33.15
million, or 6.711 percent, and
a 9.5 percent return on equity.
An average residential customer using 1490 kWh in the summer months and 800 kWh in
the winter months, will see an
approximate increase of $6.20
per month or $74.46 per year
(6.711 percent). Small business
customers will see an increase
of 5.217 percent, and larger
commercial and industrial customers will see an increase of
7.063 percent. Legally, KCP&L
can put the new rates into effect
as soon as proper tariffs are on
file with the Commission.
KCP&L originally requested
a $63.55 million increase, or 12.9
percent, and a 10.4 percent return
on equity. KCPLs Application
stated the rate adjustment is
necessary to cover the impacts
of several items including mandatory compliance with Federal
Environmental
Protection
Agency (EPA) regulations,
compliance with the Kansas
Renewable Energy Standards
Act, investment in plant and
infrastructure to support safe,
reliable service to our customers, updated depreciation rates
for plant assets, jurisdictional
allocation, other accounting treatment issues, and rate
design changes. KCP&Ls last
rate increase of $21.8 million
AD
2×2
was approved on November 22,
2010, and was part of a fiveyear Regulatory Plan to recover
costs associated with construction of Iatan 2, an 850-megawatt
power plant. KCP&L provides
service to approximately 242,000
customers in Kansas.
As stated in the Order, In
setting rates the Commissions
goal is to balance the interests
of all concerned parties and
develop a rate within the zone
of reasonableness. The parties
whose interests must be considered and balanced include:
(1) the utilitys investors vs.
the ratepayers; (2) present vs.
future ratepayers; and (3) the
public interest.
The Commission regulates
public utilities including telephone, natural gas, electric and
water companies, and oil and gas
producers. The Commissions
regulatory oversight of public
utilities primarily pertains to
rates and terms of service. In
order to ensure that customers
of regulated utilities are provided sufficient and efficient service at just and reasonable rates
– utilities may not change rates
without Commission approval.

Cold cream has cool history
Just a few days ago I found
a perfect white milk glass cold
cream bottle from the very
early 1900s at my present dig
site.
It is not surprising that oils
used to trap water in the skin
and prevent dessication developed in the hot, dry desert climate of the Near East. More
than two thousand years before
the development of soap, these
moisturizers also served to
clean the body of dirt, the way
cold cream removes makeup.
The skin-softening oils were
scented with frankincense,
myrrh, thyme, marjoram, and
the essences of fruits and nuts,
especially almonds in Egypt.
Preserved Egyptian clay tablets from 3000 BC reveal special formulations for particular
beauty problems. An Egyptian
woman troubled by a blemished
complexion treated her face
with a mask of bullocks bile,
whipped ostrich eggs, olive oil,
flour, sea salt, plant resin, and
fresh milk. An individual concerned with the advancing dryness and wrinkles of age slept
for six nights in a facial paste
of milk, incense, wax, olive oil,
gazelle or crocodile dung, and
ground-up juniper leaves.

zines reveals suggestions of
cucumber slices for blemishes,
moist tea bags for tired eyes,
and beauty masks of honey,
wheat germ oil, aloe squeezed
from a windowsill plant, and
comfrey from the herb garden.
In 157 AD, Galen was
appointed chief physician to
the school of gladiators in
Pergamun, and he went on to
treat the royal family of Rome.
While he prepared medications to combat the serious
infections and abscesses that
afflicted gladiators, he also
concocted beauty aids for patrician women. As recorded in
his medical methods, the formula for cold cream called for
one part white wax melted into
three parts olive oil, in which
rose buds had been steeped
and as much water as can be
blended into the mass. As a
substitute for the skin-soften-
ing and cleansing properties
of cold cream, Galen recommended the oil from sheeps
wool, lanolin, known then
as despyum. Although many
earlier beauty aids contained
toxic ingredients, cold cream,
throughout its long history,
remained one of the simplest
and safest cosmetics.
In more recent times, three
early commercial creams merit
note for their purity, safety and
appeal to women at all levels of
society.
In 1911, a German pharmacist in Hamburg, H. Beiersdorf,
produced a variant of cold
cream which was intended to
both moisturize and nourish
the skin. He named his product
NIVEA, and it quickly became a
commercial success, supplanting a host of heavier beauty
creams then used by women
around the world. The product
still sells in what is essentially
its original formulation.
So what does this all mean?
My bottles just may be older
than I thought and I may be a
tad richer, but I rather doubt
that!

2002: Crest to close Kincaid schools
Dec. 17, 2002
Garnett City Commissioners
last week passed four separate
ordinances aimed at tightening up the citys utility services department to allow fewer
late utility payments, restrict
off-hours services and move
electric meters to the outside
of buildings for safety reasons.
The new rules leveled some
fees associated with reconnects and special calls for utility services. The changes were
aimed more at streamlining the
utility department and its customer payments more so than
generating revenues. One ordinance reduces the number of
extensions granted to problem
utility customers in seeking
repeated extensions before disconnection of their utilities for
non-payment. The new policy
would allow no more than three
extensions to be granted in a
calendar year, with no extensions granted in back-to-back
months. The city has about 120
problem utility accounts, whose
continued extensions resulted
in the action.
Crest school district board
members opted last week to
pursue a plan which will consolidate its building facilities at
Kincaid into an expanded campus at Colony, paying for the new
construction at the west facility with some $900,000 in leaseto-own funding and bypassing
the need for a bond vote in the
district. Superintendent Larry
Wittmer presented the plan
after months of discussion on
the topic, driven by state budget
issues which led district officials to believe theyd have to
find major savings in the district. The proposal would shut
down both the districts elementary school and the board
office and gymnasium complex
at Kincaid, allowing a savings
of some $100,000 per year in
reduced facility and administration costs.
Dec. 17, 2002
County residents in the
Greeley, Colony area and those
served by a Parker telephone
exchange have been paying a 911
service surcharge to their phone
bills since August, but neither
county officials or officials with
United Telephone System seem
to know why that service is not
yet working. Three months after
the order for the system, residents in those communities still
have no emergency telephone
service.
A declining number of counties who will participate in the
Northeast Regional Juvenile
Detention program will force a

Staff Writer
higher proportionate assumption of the start-up costs for
the new facility for those who
remain, including Anderson
County. The county had planned
to set aside mill funding of .14
mills to pay for its participation
in the proposed juvenile center. A new federal law requires
counties to have some detention
facility available to them that
does not require that juveniles
be housed with older prisoners.
Dec. 20, 1982
The options for kitchen
changes were put on the back
burner by the Anderson County
Hospital Board of Trustees after
an architect told the board that
the cost of a new facility could
bump $400,000. The architect
gave the board several ideas for
changing the existing kitchen,
either through renovation or by
construction of an addition to
the hospital. The kitchen is now
located in the basement and has
ventilation problems, drainage problems and is not easily
accessible because of location
and an elevator that functions
poorly. The cost for a new elevator would be about $40,000.
Renovation of the kitchen in
the basement would be beyond
that. The cost for a new addition would be a maximum of
about $400,000. The most promising site for a new addition
would be near the emergency
room entrance, if the problem
of heavy traffic through that
area could be solved. The board
decided to table the proposals
until a later date because of the
costs involved.

Richmond last night about 9:15
oclock, Charley and Frank
Falls were held up near the
Scipio cemetery by a big Negro,
weighting about 200 pounds. As
a result, Charley is short $40
in clean cash. The young men
had been transacting business
in Richmond and had started
home in their buggy when,
about two miles and a half
south of Richmond, they saw
a man walking along the road.
They supposed he was someone
who lived in the neighborhood
and paid no attention to him,
but when they met, the man
grabbed the horse by the bit
and told the boys to pile out.
Charley made for the fellow, and
suddenly found himself looking
into a gun that seemed as big
as a cannon. The fellow went
through the boys clothes but
the $40 was all he took.

Church News
Methodist Church: The con-
Found peace on earth,
good will toward men
In Matthew 1:26-33 we read
how the angel appeared to
Mary. In the sixth month,
God sent the angel Gabriel to
Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to
a virgin pledged to be married
to a man Joseph, a descendant
of David. The virgins name
was Mary. The angel went to
her and said, Greetings you
are highly favored! The Lord
is with you.
Mary was greatly troubled
at his words and wondered
what kind of greeting this
might be. But the angel said
to her, Do not be afraid,
Mary you have found favor
with God.
Gabriel is the ARCH
ANGEL and is one of only
two angels who stand in the
very presence of God. His
name means God is great. All
appearances of Gabriel in
the Bible are connected with
the promise of the coming
Messiah. He brings news of
the coming birth of Jesus.
The first thing Gabriel does is
to assure Mary she has nothing to be afraid of. There is
Weekly
Devotional
by David Bilderback
nothing more difficult to deal
with than fear. Fear robs us
of our ability to think and
reason and understand. Fear
interrupts the whole decision making process. Maybe
that is part of what makes
Christmas time so special,
fear is not an emotion that is
present at Christmas. All of
our hymns and services focus
on peace on earth and good
will toward man. There have
even been times during war
when a cease fire has been
proclaimed on Christmas
Eve.
So what is it that causes
us to lose the peace on earth
good will toward man mind
set that develops through the
Christmas season. I believe
it is fear. Fear for our health,
fear of economic hardship,
fear of failure and fear of
death. For some reason at
Christmas people are able to
drop their guard and embrace
a couple of days or a season
when what happens is not as
important as it has seemed.
If Gabriel was so careful
to eliminate any thought of
fear from Marys mind maybe
we need to be mindful of the
affect fear can have on our
relationship with God. You
see in a right relationship with
God there is no room for fear.
Paul says in Philippians 4:7,
And the peace of God which
surpasses all understanding,
will guard your hearts and
your minds in Christ Jesus.
This is a Christmas gift you
can only give yourself. This
Christmas season receive
Jesus as your Savior and then
as Jesus said, Fear not for
I will never leave you or forsake you.

Maintenance on your field system
We are definitely in desperate need of rain. It seems as
though the clouds have forgotten how to let the rain drop.
Please continue to pray for
rain.
Harvest (what it was) is
quickly coming to a close.
Many are starting to plant
wheat and conduct yearly field
checks for any erosion problems that may have occurred
through the year. Taking care
of fields or the land is like taking care of a car or a tractor.
You need to perform regular
maintenance. This year did
not bring much rainfall to the
area and surrounding counties. But it is always good to do
a maintenance check. When
we are blessed with rain, each
raindrop that falls from the sky
brings with it the possibility
of erosion. So if our fields are
not quite up to handling the
water loads, fields could have
a lot of channeling and lead to
significant soil loss. Checking
over your fields during harvest time or when preparing
for that fall wheat planting, is
what you can do towards conducting Fall Maintenance on
Your Field System. You will
want to look at the whole field
system to see that the System
is functioning at its best or that
you may want to improve the
fields production.
Some of the things that you
should be looking for is channeling or washing in a field.
Why are there channels or
washes? The answers could
be that the terraces could be
broken; maybe the terraces
need to be re-built to a standard of 1 foot 5 inches high;
old terrace systems may be
over-spaced or poorly aligned.
Remember, terraces do require
maintenance to keep performing the way they were intended.
Maintenance may require landowners to either use a plow to
build up the terraces and clean
terrace channels or have a contractor rebuild them.
Lets move down the field
system to the next question of
Considering
Conservation
by Mary Lou Ponder
Linn, Anderson & Coffey
County Buffer Coordinator
Are the terraces dumping the
water into a suitable and stable
outlet? Most of the time terraces dump their water into a
waterway; which is another part
of the field system. Waterways
also require maintenance to
perform as they were originally designed. You will need to
make sure that the grass stand,
in the waterway, is well established to handle the water loads
that are dumped from terraces.
Another waterway maintenance practice is the removal
of trees from waterways. Trees
prevent water from properly
flowing from terraces and block
your field system.
The next question could be Is
the water getting to the waterway or is it running beside the
waterway? If the water is running alongside the waterway,
either the terraces have never
been cut-in to the waterway
or the waterway has come to
the end of its life. Waterways
are designed to hold the sediment that may possibly drain
off with water flow from terraces. Waterways will then fill up
with sediment over a period of
time, restricting water flow and
causing water to start flowing
to the outside of the waterway.
A new waterway may then have
to be constructed next to the
old one to improve the overall
health of your field system.
Some people prefer to clean out
and give the old waterway a
facelift. If that works better
in your Field System, it can be
accomplished.
Maintenance is something
that you, as a landowner or
producer, can do to preserve
the soil that is on your field
and improve water quality. Checking for washes or
channels in the field or other
problem areas that may arise
are the first signs that things
are not working quite right.
Asking for assistance in planning out a program to repair
the washes and other problem
areas are what you can do to
improve your field system.
That is where NRCS and the
Anderson County Conservation
District can assist with planning towards the repair of your
field system.

Cold weather, dry soils raise questions about wheat
MANHATTAN A combination of very low temperatures,
dry soils and poorly developed
wheat has created concern
about the current wheat crops
survival, said Jim Shroyer, KState Research and Extension
crop production specialist.
Will the wheat be able to
survive this combination of
conditions? There is no definitive answer at this point, but
Shroyer said there are some
basic questions to ask when
evaluating how well winter
wheat can survive cold weather:
How well has the wheat cold
hardened? When temperatures
through fall and early winter
gradually get colder, that helps
wheat plants develop good winterhardiness.
When temperatures remain
unusually warm late into the
fall, then suddenly drop into
the low teens, plants are less
likely to have had time to cold
harden properly and will be
more susceptible to winterkill. This fall, temperatures
have fallen off gradually. As a
result, the wheat should be adequately cold hardened in most
cases, the K-State agronomist
explained.
How well developed is the
root system? Poor root development is a concern where conditions have been dry.
Where wheat plants have
a good crown root system and
two or more tillers, they will
tolerate the cold better. If plants
are poorly developed going into
winter, with very few secondary
roots and no tillers, they will be
more susceptible to winterkill
or desiccation, especially when
soils remain dry, Shroyer said.
Poor development of secondary
roots may not be readily apparent unless the plants are pulled
up and examined, he added.
How cold is the soil at the
crown level? Cold injury is possible if soil temperatures at the
crown level — about one inch
deep — fall into the single digits. When the soil is dry and
there is no snow cover, as is the
case now, the potential for cold
injury is higher, especially on
exposed slopes or terrace tops,
depending on the condition of
the plants.
Is the crown well protected
by soil? If wheat is planted at
the correct depth, about oneand-a-half to two inches deep,
and in good contact with the
soil, the crown should be reasonably well protected by the
soil from the effects of cold
temperatures. If the wheat seed
was planted too shallowly, then
the crown will have developed
too close to the soil surface
and will be more susceptible
to winterkill, he added. Also, if
the seed was planted into loose
soil or into heavy surface resi-
due, the crown could be more
exposed and could be susceptible to cold temperatures and
desiccation.
Is there any insect or disease damage to the plants?
Damage from winter grain
mites, brown wheat mites, fall
armyworm, aphids, Hessian fly,
and crown and root rot diseases
can weaken wheat plants and
make them somewhat more
susceptible to injury from cold
weather stress or desiccation.
In most cases, producers
wont know for sure if the wheat
has survived cold temperatures
until early next spring, Shroyer
said.
If plants are killed outright
by cold temperatures, they
wont green up next spring. But
if they are only damaged, it
might take them awhile to die.
They will green up and then
slowly go backwards and eventually die, he explained.
Direct cold injury is not
the only potential problem, he
added. Under the kind of dry
conditions the state is currently experiencing, wheat plants
may suffer from desiccation
and from direct injury caused
by blowing, he said.
Any of these factors can
kill or weaken plants, Shroyer
said. But you never want to
count wheat out too early,
unless it has blown out. Wheat
has a remarkable ability to
withstand more than it seems
possible at times.
