Family worries as car
found abandoned hours
before winter storm
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Family and friends
are offering a $1,000 reward to
help find a missing 24-year-old
man who was left homeless and
facing criminal charges after
an altercation about a month
ago, and whose car was found
abandoned early Saturday
morning south of Garnett, just
hours before a snow storm
brought frigid temperatures to
the area.
Devyn Long, age 24, was
last seen sometime Friday or
early Saturday morning. His
blue Buick was abandoned on
Missouri Road near 1500 Road,
where it appeared the driver
was attempting to pull into
a field entrance and stopped
Devyn Long
partway in the road, according
to his mother, Diana Dunn of
Kansas City, Mo. The vehicle
door was left open, and the keys
were in the front seat under
other items, Dunn said. The car
was drivable, with no apparent
mechanical issues that would
explain why its driver might
have abandoned it, she said.
It was not in character for
him to leave everything he has

Construction of a new addition to
the First Christian Church, above,
is expected to be finished by late
February. At right is the south
entrance to the new building. The
facility is expected to add a large
gathering space for events like weddings, funerals and concerts; and for
youth programs.
As recent frigid temps Church addition brings space for events, youth
subside, will it snow?
Few problems reported
after weekends snow,
cold; warm up ahead
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Despite temperatures dipping to a frigid minus10 with 1.5 inches of snow over
the past weekend, only about
two wrecks with no injuries
were reported in Anderson
County.
Anderson County Sheriff
Vernon Valentine said it
appeared his department
worked just a couple of wrecks
over the weekend, but there
were no injuries and he did
not have complete information
to report. Garnett Police Chief
Kevin PeKarek said it appears
there were no wrecks within the city limits because of
weather. Neither department
reported other weather-related
problems.
Temperatures dropped to
a low of minus-10 overnight
Sunday, Dec. 18 into Monday,
Dec. 19, and the high reached
just 7 degrees, according to
weather records at the Garnett
Industrial Airport, which is
the official weather monitoring
station for this area. The previous day, between Saturday,
Dec. 17, and Sunday morning,
Dec. 18, the low temperature
was minus-8.
Rain and other moisture
moved into the area between
Friday and Saturday, dropping

New building designed with
similar feel, look of original
First Christian Church building
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – After years of praying and
planning, First Christian Church congregation members soon will celebrate
the opening of a major church expansion now under construction.
The addition will bring a large facility for the church to host events like weddings and funerals, or for community or
church gatherings. The current banquet
facilities at the church are limited to
about 90 people, out of a total church
congregation between 300-350 people.
The new facility will comfortably seat
250 people, up to 325, and will offer a
large kitchen to help with events.
And as nice as the new facility will
be for special events, the building really
is all about the youth, First Christian
Church Pastor Chris Goetz said.
Its going to meet quite a few of our
needs, Goetz said.
While the building features a large
open area for events, it also will sport a
dedicated room for the churchs youth
group, a larger nursery and three new
Sunday School classrooms that can
be opened for use during events. The
church has an active youth group with
between 35 to 50 youth in grades 6-12,
and about 50 youth ages 4 years to 6th
grade. The youth group area on the
northernmost part of the new facility
will be designed as a lounge-type setting, Goetz said.
The new facility especially will be an
asset during the annual Vacation Bible
School programs in the summer, which
typically bring about 370 youth to the
church for the week long activities. It
can be challenging to find room for that
many children and staff, Goetz said, and
organizers typically plan outdoor activities when possible.
Its madness when you have a rain
day, he said. This will be a whole lot
more user friendly.
Church officials have debated the
need for an addition to the church for
about the past three decades, Goetz said.

Ottawa works on some of the electrical
needs of the new church addition.
Remember the original Christmas Story
King James Version
For unto us a Child is born, unto
us a Son is given: and The Government
shall be upon His Shoulder: and His Name
shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The
Mighty GOD, The Everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His
Government and peace there shall be no
end, upon the Throne of David, and upon
His Kingdom, to order it, and to establish it
with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of
Hosts will perform this (Isaiah 9:6-7).
The Story of the Birth of Christ As told through
Luke
Luke 2:1 And it came to pass in those days, that there
went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the
world should be taxed. 2:2 (And this taxing was first
made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 2:3 And
all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 2:4
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city
of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which
is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house
and lineage of David:) 2:5 To be taxed with Mary his
espoused wife, being great with Child. 2:6 And so it
was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn Son,
and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him
in a manger; because there was no room for them in
the inn.
2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds
abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by
night. 2:9 And, lo, the angel of the LORD came upon
them, and the glory of the LORD shone round about
them: and they were sore afraid. 2:10 And the angel
said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good
tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 2:11
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a
Saviour, which is Christ the LORD. 2:12 And this shall
be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the Babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly

MISSING…

in a drivable car, unlocked
with a snowstorm coming,
Dunn said.
Long apparently had been
staying with friends and kept
all his belongings in his vehicle, his mother said. About a
month earlier, he was living
in Welda with family members
when he got into an altercation with them and neighbors.
Long was charged Nov. 28
in Anderson County District
Court with criminal threat and
two counts of battery. He was
scheduled to appear in court
this morning.
Anderson County Sheriff
Vernon Valentine said he could
not speculate if Longs disappearance was somehow connected to the previous incident.
Valentine asked that anyone
who has seen, spoken with or
had any kind of contact with
Long since Saturday morning
to call the sheriffs department
at (785) 448-6823 or 911.
The vehicle apparently was
discovered around 11:35 a.m.
Saturday, Dec. 17. Dunn said
her sons belongings, including warm winter clothing and
boots, were still in the car. His
cell phone was not in the car,
and went to voicemail when
it was called. Long did not
show up to work at the local
Mexican restaurant this weekend. His family and friends say
they have checked with other
friends and businesses that he
frequents, but no one has seen
him.
Dunn is worried about
what or who her son may have
encountered prior to the discovery of the vehicle.
Devyn, unfortunately, was
around some shady characters, she said. It could have
been a drug deal gone bad, or
he (made someone mad).
Dunn said the $1,000 reward
would be paid for information
that leads to her sons whereabouts.

OPINION
Its time for Trump-style
revolt against social media
We all know by now we saw a revolution last
month on election day. I think another one is
coming, this time on your computer, tablet or
smartphone.
Most of us participated in the last one without
really knowing we were swept up in a movement
we had no idea we were part of an evolving
political phenomena that culminated in the surprise election of Donald Trump, until we started
to notice that bead of sweat on Chuck Todds
upper lip mid- election night. Up to that point, we
thought it was just us and our Facebook friends
and Sean Hannity who were fed up with the way
things were. When the news finally hit us, the
jubilation came in torrents.
Itll be much the same with the next big revolution: the near full repudiation of social media
and the way it treats us like digital dairy cattle.
Sure, youll still have your cat videos and
weather reports on your phone, but beyond that
I predict Google and Mark Zuckerberg arent
going to be happy with you when youre done
with them.
Im recognizing it in myself. Im seeing it
among my social media contacts. Im reading it all across the Internet. Folks are getting
fatigued and dubious of the digital cocoon which
Facebook, Google, et. al. are trying to seal us
all into in order to turn the Internet into one
big shakedown operation. Not just that were
uneasy at the prospect that our personal information has become just another chunk of the
mass of digital commodity being bought and
sold. Worse yet, we gave it up willingly.
It started with me about the umpteenth time
Google asked me for my phone number. Why
does Google need my phone number? Probably
not to find out why the paper is late to the rack
at Caseys this morning. Now it seems Facebook
too is obsessed with asking me for my number,
and theyre both so concerned about my whereabouts they relentlessly badger me to turn on the
location app on my phone so they can figure
out where I am this very second to steer me
toward one of their advertisers.
My Facebook interactions tell the Zuck-ites
about my interests and make me a target for similar sponsored posts. My Google and Amazon
searches tell Facebook what Im shopping for, so
things I searched for on one platform pop up on

another as a reminder to buy or buy two.
Its invasive and its uncomfortable. And
more and more people are saying enough. The
evidence is mounting:
It seems like every week, another major
organization has had its customer records
hacked; Target, Home Depot, Yahoo, etc. Our
information isnt safe, and we know it.
Youre telling Facebook less. The platform is
wringing its hands over a 21 percent decline in
original sharing or personal updates among
its users. Hence the new emoticons and the questions designed to make you interact and post
something.how are you feeling today? and,
wouldnt you like to repost this memory from
three years ago?
Concerns over fake news those blips that
pop up on your FB feed that tell you everything
you want to believe, are making many of us
realize weve been duped and FB, as well as the
source, is to blame.
A former Facebook employee said last
spring 90 percent of the platforms editors of
its Trending Topics were biased liberals. FB
responded by doing away with those editors,
now relying wholly on its analysis of your wants
and desires to determine which and how much
fake news comes your way, meaning an increase
in false information.

Trump reorients Republican economics
In the course of a couple of tweets, Donald
Trump may have ended the image of the GOP
as the party of corporate America.
After striking a Carrier deal to preserve
about 800 jobs, the president-elect slapped
the Indiana company Rexnord on Twitter for
rather viciously firing its workers and then
went after Boeing for ripping off the public on
a $3 billion Air Force One deal.
Just like that, and in less than 280 characters, Trump had established more distance
from big business than the GOP had in a
generation. In his frenetic way, he is forcing
a reorientation of the Republican Partys economics, a change that is welcome in its broad
contours, even if his methods are dubious and
the potential pitfalls considerable.
Gone is the vaguely Randian emphasis on
makers vs. takers, with anyone who doesnt
earn enough to make a net contribution to the
funding of the federal government considered
a parasite on the body politic.
Gone is the obsession with the federal deficit that has long been the King Charles head
of Republican policymakers.
Gone is the difficulty of conceiving of people as anything other than consumers or budding entrepreneurs who care only about the
top marginal tax rate.
Contradicting these tropes, Trump bragged
about taking even more people off the tax
rolls; paid only lip service to the deficit; and
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
made workers and their jobs his most prominent theme.
Trump hammered away at whats the true
bottom line of the economy for most people
— their wages.
Ultimately, wages grow when productivity
increases, but a tighter labor market helps.
One way to look at trade and immigration
policy over the past several decades is that the
political class has decided that less-educated
Americans should have to compete more with
less-educated foreigners, who either work in
factories overseas where U.S. concerns relocate, or come here themselves to live and
work.
This has to be at least part of the picture
of relatively stagnant wages, and declining
labor-force participation. Steve Camarota of
the Center for Immigration Studies crunched
the numbers for the third quarter of 2016.
While overall unemployment has been falling,
the labor-force participation rate for working-age natives without a bachelors degree
is still lower than it was before the recession,
just 70.4 percent now, compared with 74 percent before the downturn.
The ultimate metric for success for Trump
will be whether he can get wages reliably
increasing, and pull more of these people back
into the workforce.
All that said, there is much to worry about
in Trumps approach. A president of the
United States calling out individual companies is inherently arbitrary and subject to
abuse. There is a lot of room between being
deficit-obsessive and acting as though we
dont have to pay for anything. And a blowout $1 trillion infrastructure program would,
inevitably, be politicized and wasteful.
In all these areas, one hopes Trump will
be more restrained — and constrained, particularly by Congress. But the party should
accept the new terms Trump has set out for its
economic worldview, and focus on workers
and their wages more than it has any time in
memory.

Get ready for the LLC debate
Were down to the just-before 2017
Legislature time when every little hint about
what the governor would or would not consider in the march to a balanced budget becomes
important.
And last week, at a series of press conferences, Gov. Sam Brownback said that he
might, just might, consider some proposals
to increase state revenues to balance the budgetapparently blended with reductions in
spending.
Reporters have spent a lot of time crafting questions that would bring some subtle
indication about just what tax increases the
governor would, with just his signature, allow
to become law.
So far, weve managed to get one pretty
solid indication of a tax that he absolutely has
no interest in. Thats a start.
That dont do it that was the firmest is
his opposition to placing a state sales tax on
services, as differentiated from hard, hold in
your hand, products.
Soits time for the states lawyers and
accountants and financial service owners to
take a deep breath and then maybe a drink
because the governor doesnt want to tax the
services they provide.
Oh, and that no-tax on services extends, of
course, to nearly everyone who sells their services to make a living, ranging from roofers to
lawn services towe guesspole dancers.
Those services amount to billions of dollars
of transactions that dont make the state as
much in revenue as selling a bar of soap or a
new shirt.
While that no-services tax might have a
positive effect on those providers it doesnt do
STATE COMMENTARY
MARTIN HAWVER, At The Rail
a thing for revenues.
It does, though, echo through the
Statehouse, and it means that those sales taxfree service providers wont have to spend
time and money lobbying the Legislature to
keep their sales off the tax rolls. And, for
them, its a good thing.
Brownback also last week defended what
started out as a small business tax break,
the Limited Liability Corporation exemption
from Kansas income tax.
Aimed to help small businesses keep
enough profit to hire new workers and buy
equipment, it quickly spread to giant businesses which dont have to pay income taxes
on their income that isnt considered a wage.
Brownback said that the LLC exemption
is helping job growth, and while the $200
million to $300 million cost in lost income tax
revenues to the state is large, it also doesnt
allow deductions for those non-tax business
expenses. What the trade-off between taxes
and allowing exemptions for business expenses works out to is not clear, but it pares the tax
loss by whatever those businesses could come
up with as deductible expenses.
AndBrownback notes, some states
are taking a look at the LLC tax exemption here for possible use in other states. He
said Kansas plan sounds a lot like Presidentelect Donald Trumps plan to lower corporate
taxes so those businesses have more money
to spend on expansion, higher wages for their
employees and more reason to keep jobs in the
United States rather than send them to lowwage countries.
It really comes down to the politics of the
issues. Everyone who pays income taxes has
a good argument that the guy down the street
with an LLC ought to pay something to the
state, too.
But those sales-tax exempt service-providers dont have to go to the expense and trouble
of collecting taxes. And those income tax-exempt businesses dont have to spend time and
effort collecting information to use for tax
deductions and then pay a sales tax-exempt
service provider accountant or lawyer or tax
preparer to figure their tax bills.
Or, do we tax em both, and solve this revenue problem?

the herd, but here it goes. I would hate to be
trying to sell a house in Garnett these days.
There are homes in this town that have been
on the market literally for years. In other
places right now they say the market for
houses is so great they have buyers bidding
on houses and they get more than the asking
price. Not in Garnett. Why not? Garnett is
a nice enough town. Its in a good location
to drive to jobs in Ottawa. Its a good location to drive to jobs in Kansas City and lots
of people do it. Why do these houses just
sit here and sit and sit on the market? Why
doesnt anyone want to buy these houses and
live in Garnett? I dont know all thats required to be a city manager, but it sure seems
to me one thing that needs to be done here
is to do something to where people want to
come here and live in this town again. Thank
you.
Crest taxpayers, how much did your property tax go up this year? Crest school district
mill levy increase was most of the added
cost. Now Crest School District is wanting
to start a baseball program, build a field,
buy equipment and hire another coach. Well
played Mr. Mahon and Mr. Hermreck, well
played. How soon are you going to ask the
property owners to build a new gym. No
cost is too high for added sports, but we have
no money to improve curriculum. Wake up
Crest.
CHURCH…
FROM PAGE 1A
Several years ago, the church added an annex
building where it has Sunday School classes,
and that building will continue to be used for the
same purpose. The main sanctuary will remain
the same, as well.
The addition was designed to match the existing sanctuary as much as possible, and will
feature exposed beams similar to the exposed
beams of the sanctuary ceiling.
Many church officials wanted to match the
original church in other ways, such as a stone
facade to match the buildings original limestone
exterior. But that would have added about $1
million to the project, which is expected to cost
about $950,000 when its completed. An estimated
completion date is targeted for late February.
This is a budget-friendly version of the old
church, Goetz said. We can add stone work
in the future if the funds come in. But the walls
are so much more efficient, and its an excellent
value.
The debate over the stone facade was one of
the biggest obstacles to the project, aside from
raising money to pay for the building, Goetz
said.
I understand why. Its a sentimental idea,
he said.
The building committee also considered adding a bell tower. But such extra details are
expensive, and would have delayed the project
for years while money could be raised.
We care about our kids right now, Goetz,
who served as the churchs youth pastor before
becoming lead pastor Jan. 1, 2016.
Goetz said he was grateful to everyone in the
congregation who worked together to make the
project a reality after years of discussion and
planning.
In America, the church has been the hub of
small communities for hundreds of years. I dont
believe churches in Garnett are any different,
Goetz said. We want to be as great an asset to
our community as possible, ultimately sharing
the gospel every opportunity we get.

Four gifts for Christmas
The season of advent is a
time when Christians prepare
their hearts and lives for a worthy celebration of Gods greatest gift, the birth of our Lord
and Savior. The celebration
is centered around the advent
wreath.
The advent wreath was
first used by Protestants in
Germany in the Lutheran
church. The circle of the
advent wreath represents
Gods never ending love. The
evergreens symbolize the hope
of eternal life. The four purple or royal blue candles represent the kingship of Christ.
The color purple in the early
church represented royalty.
The four candles also represent
the four Sundays in advent. In
some wreaths the third candle
is rose colored from a practice
in the Middle Ages of using
rose to represent an especially
esteemed person. In this case
it would be Jesus the Christ.
The white candle in the center
is lighted on Christmas Eve or
Christmas Day.
One candle is lighted each
Sunday and the ones from the
previous weeks are relighted.
The purpose of the candles is
to prepare our hearts for the
celebration of Christs birth.
The first candle is the candle
of anticipation. I remember as
a boy arriving at my grandparents house on Christmas morning. I remember the wonderful
smell of the kitchen, the decorated tree and the beautifully
wrapped gifts. Just the anticipation was almost as much fun
as Christmas itself. In Isaiah
7:14 the prophet anticipates the
coming Christ when he says,
The virgin will be with child
and will give birth to a son, and
will call him Immanuel, that
is God with us.
The second candle is the
candle of hope. The Psalmist
asks in Psalm 42:5, Why are
you downcast O my soul? Why
so disturbed within me? Put
you hope in God, for I will yet
praise him, my Savior and my
God. Christmas time can be
7A
LOCAL
WEEKLY
DEVOTIONAL
By David Bilderback
a time of hope or hopelessness
depending on our situation.
While many are burdened
with too much to do others are
extremely lonely. If we look far
enough into eternity God says
we will not be disappointed,
our hopes will be realized.
The third candle is the candle of discernment. In Luke
10:38-42 Jesus explains to
Martha that her sister Mary
has chosen what was better
as she set at Jesus feet and
listened to his teaching while
Martha was distracted by all
of the preparation of the meal.
May we make sure we are
doing things for the love of God
through Christ who enables us
to share the fellowship of family and friends and to give gifts
of love.
The fourth candle is the candle of love and joy. Matthew
6:21 says, For where your treasure is, there your heart will
be also. Someone once said,
God cannot put anything in
hands that are tightly clasped
around something. In order
to receive maximum joy from
something we must hold it
loosely to allow God to work.
God loves us and wants to give
us good things. For God so
loved the world that he gave his
only begotten Son. If God was
willing to do that will he not do
good things for us?
On Christmas Eve or
Christmas Day we light all the
candles including the white
Christ candle in the center.
The angel said in Luke 2:10, I
bring you good news of great
joy for all the people. Four
gifts, anticipation, hope, discernment, love and joy. On
your journey through advent
may you find these gifts and
have a blessed Christmas.

on the Holiness of God.

Talk about insurance during the holidays
TOPEKA The Christmas and
New Years holidays are family times filled with reminiscences. But when family gathers, they can also be times to
have good conversations about
how to protect and insure families and their property, according to Ken Selzer, CPA, Kansas
Commissioner of Insurance.
Focusing on family and
property insurance considerations can be beneficial
during the holiday season,
Commissioner Selzer said.
With close relatives on hand,
those conversations about how
to protect your loved ones and
your property are valuable.
Commissioner
Selzer
and the staff at the Kansas
Insurance Department offer
the following ideas for insurance discussions and consider-

can be truly helpful for a single
adult, a young family or empty
nesters on a fixed income.
Know, in the case of older
family members, what their
health insurance policies contain and what their medical
preferences are for providers
and institutions.
Discussions about these
points during holiday gatherings can have a positive impact
on finances and insurance
needs, Commissioner Selzer

its a comfort to know that

financial advisers can assist

Know about the condition

Know what your teenagers and young adults are concerned about. Getting them to
open up might be hard, but they
could have questions about life
situations and insurance that
are important to them and to

Lancers rally for first win
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
PLEASANTON – Both
the Crest Lancers and the
Pleasanton Blu-Jays entered
last weeks game winless, but
it would be Crest that battled
back from a 4th quarter deficit
to earn a much needed 56-53
victory.
The two teams played neckand-neck throughout the first
half. They were tied after the
first quarter before Pleasanton
forged ahead slightly at halftime, 37-34. Crest tightened up
defensively in the second half
limiting the Blu-Jays to just
16 points to pull off the come
from-behind-victory.
Hayden Hermreck provided the spark offensively
with 33 points on the evening.
Hermreck hit 13 of his 24 shots
overall, included 6 out of 13
from three-point land. He also
added 4 rebounds and 3 blocked
shots on the night.
No other Lancer reached
double figures offensively, but
Hayden Seabolt had 4 points
and 11 rebounds and Caleb
Stephens added 3 points, 10
rebounds and 4 blocks
It was a huge relief for head
coach Travis Hermreck and his
Lancers to get their first win
heading into holiday break.
It feels so good to get win
number one on the season,
kind of feels like a giant weight
has been lifted. When you are
struggling and start the season
with four losses, sometimes a
little doubt starts creeping in,
Hermreck stated. This was a
fun game for us, I am proud
of how everyone stepped up
and made a play for us at some
point tonight. We showed a
little fire and composure
tonight, he said.
Hermreck also added, We
have a little break now, so hopefully we can make the most out
of this momentum heading into
our holiday practices.

basketball action.
The Bulldogs (2-4) also
opened the season with a
53-20 win over Oz for their

Osawatomie (0-6) has struggled
to stay competitive as they
have lost all of their games by
29 or more points this season.
AC blanked the Trojans in
the first quarter to take an
early 9-0 lead. They continued
to build on that lead stretching
their advantage out to 28-8 at
intermission. The topped the
Trojans 21-9 in the third to put
the game out of reach.

Deputy graduates
from Kansas law
enforcement training
YODER An Anderson
County deputy was among
61 new law enforcement officers congratulated by Wichita
Police Department Chief
Gordon Ramsay during their
graduation from the Kansas
Law Enforcement Training
Center on Dec. 9.
Anderson County Sheriffs
deputy Bert McFaul of Garnett
was among the graduates.
The new officers were
members of the 242nd basic
training class at the center.
Located one mile west and
one mile south of Yoder,
near Hutchinson, the center
is a division of University
of Kansas Professional &
Continuing Education.
The graduates, who began
their training Aug. 29, represented 43 municipal, county and state law enforcement
agencies from across Kansas.
Graduates receive certificates of course completion
from KLETC and Kansas law
enforcement certification
from the Kansas Commission
on Peace Officers Standards
and Training, the states law
enforcement licensing authority. The training course fulfills the state requirement
for law enforcement training.
Classroom lectures and handson applications help train officers to solve the increasingly
complex problems they face in
the line of duty.
Established by the Kansas
Legislature in 1968, the center trains the majority of
municipal, county and state
law enforcement officers
in Kansas and oversees the
training of the remaining officers at seven authorized and
certified academy programs
operated by local law enforcement agencies and the Kansas
Highway Patrol.
About 300 officers enroll
annually in the 14-week basic
training program. The center
offered continuing education
and specialized training to as
many as 5,600 Kansas officers
each year. Funding for the
training center is generated
from court docket fees from
municipal and state courts.
No funds from the states general revenue are used to operate the center.
Highberger attends
Modern Woodmen
of America forum
Margaret
Highberger,
Westphalia, Kan., a Modern
Woodmen of America representative, has completed a
fiveday educational program
at Modern Woodmens home
office in Rock Island, Ill.
The program focused on
comprehensive financial services
for families
and small
businesses.
Using
a computer
software
program,
Highberger
participants
studied
the impact of social security benefits and inflation on
financial plans. In addition,
attendees learned the benefits
of incorporating mutual funds
and variable products, where
appropriate, when evaluating
financial needs and goals.
Founded in 1883, Modern
Woodmen of America touches
lives and secures futures. The
fraternal financial services
organization offers financial
products and fraternal member benefits to individuals
and families throughout the
United States.
Make your referral program,
simple and motivating
The gist of referral programs isnt nearly as complicated as it sounds. It just goes back
to the old adage that word of
mouth is the best advertising.
And it really is. One business study showed that a customer whos referred to your
business from another customer has a 16-18 percent higher
lifetime value theyre more
loyal and theyre less expensive to acquire on average than
other customers.
The music industry has
been the best example of an
unsung referral program for
eons. Hey, listen to these
guys, someone tells you as
they cue up a song they like.
That happened to me when I
was in the 7th grade, and Ive
been buying KISS records and
merchandise ever since. KISS
acquired me as a fan and a
customer without ever running
an ad, offering me a coupon or
spending a nickel on marketing
directed at me. My cousin did
all the work for them.
Though that kind of referral
is cheap, the problem is it can
be the hardest to get, because
unlike placing an ad in your
local newspaper or radio or TV
station or free Internet site,
you have little or no control.
Your customer is in charge.
How do you know your present
customer will refer you?
You dont. But you can
organize things youre already
doing to try to ensure it.
For starters, you have to be a
business that a customer wants
to refer someone to. That goes
back to value the idea that
customers get their moneys
worth or more by doing business with you through great
products and great service.
Next you need a premium
not just for the present customer you hope will do the
work for you, but also for the
unknown new referral as a
motivator to come experience
you. I recommend making both
the premiums the same a free
something (everybody likes
getting something for free) or
a percentage off a followup purchase.
Next you need a simple vehicle to communicate the referral
offer. There are loads of special software programs you can
buy on the Internet to track
referrals and award custom
points and all that jazz, and
thats great if you have the
money and staff to conduct it,

but I like a simple referral card
or tear-off coupon at the counter you can hand to a customer
as youre thanking them for
their business. Dont ask them
if they want to participate just
put their name on it and hand
it to them. You can find free
formats for these on the web
and print them from your own
computer, or have a local print
shop make them up for you.
Make sure you have a line
with the present customers
name, and a blank line beneath
it for the referred customers
name. Ideally, your present
customer hands off the card
to someone who then redeems
it with you on your promise
of a free pair of gloves with
purchase, a free sandwich with
a $10 order, etc. When redeeming the card, write the referred
customers name on the second
line.
Then the best idea is to find
a place on the wall or near the
cash register to tape or thumbtack up the redeemed referral
cards that way referrers can
see if their buddy redeemed
the card, and you promote the
program to in-store traffic.
Referral programs dont
have to be complicated, they
just have to be motivating.

The Season of
Lights provides
holiday inspiration
The other morning while reading my daily inspirational devotion, I couldnt help but want to
share it with you.
This devotion was entitled
The Season of Lights and as
written by a man named John.
2 Corinthians 4:6
Seeing it is God who said,
Light will shine out of darkness, Who has shone in our
hearts, to give the light of the
knowledge of the glory of God in
the face of Jesus Christ.
In America and elsewhere
around the world, December is
known as the season of lights.
Many families sit in their cars
and wait a long time to see houses professionally decorated in
Christmas lights. From the clear
lights to red, blue, and green, the
world is painted with a picture
that saturates our souls with joy
and peace.
Every year as we approach
Christmas, we celebrate the
coming of Christ–the Light that
shines in the darkness. So much
throughout the rest of the year,
however, we wail and gnash our
teeth at all the darkness. And
we completely forget about the
Light.
DIGGING UP THE PAST
Henry Roeckers
Call (785) 448-6244 for
local archeology information.
But then, as the days grow
shorter and the skies themselves
grow darker, the Christmas
lights are displayed in all their
glory. And we remember that
no matter how dark our world is
becoming, all hope is not lost.
Christ is our Light. And, just
like the beautiful houses you travel to see, Christs Light can shine
in you. Spend this December season noticing and rejoicing in the
many ways Gods Light shines
in the darkness. And spend this
season in loving service to those
living in darkness–that you too
might saturate their souls with
Joy and Peace.
Kay and I wish all of you a
very merry Christmas and blessed new year 2017.
A minute with Marshall
Record crops, low commodity prices and stalled trade negotiations spell troubled times for
Kansas farmers and ranchers
heading into 2017.
Like many other small businesses, inputs to produce a
bumper crop generally entail
an abundance of costs as well.
Except for lower fuel prices, most agricultural inputs
remain high and continue to
rise.
Drive through rural Kansas
and youll see huge piles of red
and gold grain lying on the
ground. Talk to farmers and
ranchers and theyll tell you
their near economic prospects
dont look good.
Insight visited with
Congressman-elect
Roger
Marshall at the recent Kansas
Farm Bureau convention to
ask him what could be done to
remedy some of the ailments in
farm country.
Marshall campaigned on a
platform of bringing Kansas
farmers a voice on the House
Ag Committee. He labeled himself a fifth generation farm
kid and said, I do know what
the back side of a tractor feels
like and I hauled a lot of hay in
my day.
Hes practiced as an OB-GYN
and served as Chairman of the
Board of Great Bend Regional
Hospital. Marshall says some
of his best knowledge about
agriculture was learned while
he served as a board member of
the Farmers Bank and Trust in
Great Bend.
Times are tough in agriculture, Marshall says. And
there are no simple solutions.
Beefing up our trade policy
would help the Kansas farmer, he says. While he understands president-elect Trump
is against the Trans-Pacific
Partnership (TPP) in its present form. He is committed to
free and fair trade and that may
leave room to work.
Many farmers, ranchers and
other ag leaders realize if this
nation engaged in more free
trade it would drive up prices.
If we passed TPP tomorrow,
itd mean $400,000 a day of additional cattle sales to the Pacificrim countries, Marshall says.
Positive trade deals could
provide Kansas farmers and
ranchers with an opportunity to remain competitive in
INSIGHT
JOHN SCHLAGECK, Kansas Farm Bureau
todays global marketplace. If
the United States stays on the
sideline, others will continue
to sign trade agreements with
China, India, Japan and many
other developing countries
who would welcome Kansas
high quality feed grains, protein, value-added products and
manufactured goods.
Marshall also believes
decreasing regulations in agriculture, banking and health
care could drive the cost of
inputs down.
The new administration is going to come in and
say, halt and desist to the
Environmental
Protection
Agency,
the
congressman-elect says. I expect (legislation on) Waters of the United
States (WOTUS) to slow down
or stop all together.
When you look at the law
that talks about navigable
streams, as near as I can tell,
water running in a ditch is not
navigable where I come from.
Tax reform is another way
to help this countrys economy and that of Kansas farmers
and ranchers, Marshall says.
He believes a reduction in corporate taxes will spur companies and individuals to invest
money and grow businesses.
Rebuilding this nations
infrastructure could also invigorate this nations economy.
Buckle in because were
going to start to work on Jan.
4, Marshall says. Congress
will no longer conduct two and
three-day work weeks. Our new
president expects us to produce
and we expect to operate as a
Congress of action. Were going
to turn our economy around.

knowledge and passion.

FROM PAGE 1A
host praising God, and saying, 2:14
Glory to God in the highest, and on
earth peace, good will toward men.
2:15 And it came to pass, as the
angels were gone away from them
into Heaven, the shepherds said
one to another, Let us now go even
unto Bethlehem, and see this thing
which is come to pass, which the
LORD hath made known unto us.
2:16 And they came with haste, and
found Mary, and Joseph, and the
Babe lying in a manger. 2:17 And
when they had seen it, they made
known abroad the saying which
was told them concerning this
Child. 2:18 And all they that heard
it wondered at those things which
were told them by the shepherds.
2:19 But Mary kept all these things,
and pondered them in her heart.
2:20 And the shepherds returned,
glorifying and praising God for all
the things that they had heard and
seen, as it was told unto them.
2:21 And when eight days were
accomplished for the circumcising
of the Child, His Name was called
JESUS, which was so named of the
angel before He was conceived in
the womb.
The Story of the Birth of
Christ As told through
Matthew
Matthew 1:16 And Jacob begat
Joseph the husband of Mary, of
whom was born Jesus, Who is
called Christ. 1:17 So all the generations from Abraham to David
are fourteen generations; and from
David until the carrying away into
Babylon are fourteen generations;
and from the carrying away into
Babylon unto Christ are fourteen
generations. 1:18 Now the birth
of Jesus Christ was on this wise:
When as His mother Mary was
espoused to Joseph, before they
came together, she was found with
Child of the Holy Ghost. 1:19 Then
Joseph her husband, being a just
man, and not willing to make her a
public example, was minded to put
her away privily. 1:20 But while he
thought on these things, behold,
the angel of the LORD appeared
unto him in a dream, saying,
Joseph, thou son of David, fear not
to take unto thee Mary thy wife:
for That which is conceived in her
is of the Holy Ghost. 1:21 And she
shall bring forth a Son, and thou
shalt call His Name JESUS: for He
shall save His people from their
sins. 1:22 Now all this was done,
that it might be fulfilled which
was spoken of the LORD by the
prophet, saying, 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with Child, and shall
bring forth a Son, and they shall
call His Name Emmanuel, which
being interpreted is, God With Us.
1:24 Then Joseph being raised from
sleep did as the angel of the LORD
had bidden him, and took unto
him his wife: 1:25 And knew her
not till she had brought forth her
firstborn Son: and he called His
Name JESUS.
2:1 Now when Jesus was born
in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days
of Herod the king,
behold, there came wise men from
the east to Jerusalem,
2:2 Saying, Where is He that is born
King of the Jews?
for we have seen His Star in the
east, and are come to worship
Him. 2:3 When Herod the king
had heard these things, he was
troubled, and all Jerusalem with
him. 2:4 And when he had gathered
all the chief priests and scribes of
the people together, he demanded
of them where Christ should be
born. 2:5 And they said unto him,
In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus
it is written by the prophet, 2:6
And thou Bethlehem, in the land
of Juda, art not the least among the
princes of Juda: for out of thee shall
come a Governor, that shall rule
My people Israel. 2:7 Then Herod,
when he had privily called the wise
men, inquired of them diligently
what time the Star appeared. 2:8
And he sent them to Bethlehem,
and said, Go and search diligently
for the young Child; and when ye
have found Him, bring me word
again, that I may come and worship Him also. 2:9 When they had
heard the king, they departed; and,
lo, the Star, which they saw in the
east, went before them, till it came
and stood over where the young
Child was.
2:10 When they saw the Star, they
rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
2:11 And when they were come
into the house, they saw the young
Child with Mary His mother, and
fell down, and worshipped Him:
and when they had opened their
treasures, they presented unto
Him gifts; gold, and frankincense,
and myrrh.
2006: Greeley Elementary plans building addition
December 19, 2006
A Welda man is expected
to be charged later this week
in Anderson County District
Court after allegedly shooting
a Colony woman in the face
during a domestic dispute
Friday evening at his home.
The victim is reported in fair
condition with non-life threatening injuries.
After months of deliberation
the USD 365 Board of Education
opted last week to build a
$100,000 metal frame addition
onto Greeley Elementary with
the assistance of a $20,000 grant
from the Bank of Greeley.
Enrollment growth at Greeley
the past couple of years forced
the board to begin to consider
several options for more space
last summer. Enrollment has
increased from 37 students several years ago to a current
number of 50, with shifts in
the younger grades. The school
district leased the former St.
Johns school building at the
beginning of this school year
to house 3rd through 6th graders after St. Johns consolidated with Holy Angels in Garnett.
December 23, 1996
Anderson County residents
generally consider themselves
to be in good health, have the
most medical faith in their chiropractors and see the countys greatest overall health risk
as alcohol use by minors. The
responses were among others
gained from a special survey of
county residents last October
performed by the Greater
Anderson County Health task
Force.

potential to be lucrative. It
seemed shady but legal. Their
friends were doing it. And now
its all coming down around
their ears. Conversations both
on and off the record with participants in the illegal cash
pyramid that swept Coffey and
Anderson County illustrate a
large network of local residents
– possibly as many as 300-400 in
Anderson County alone – who
bit off more than they could
chew in the name of excitement, camaraderie and greed.
But public rumor and condemnation and the continued investigation of participants by the
Kansas Securities Commission
amounts to a cloud over their
now sobering heads that wont
go away. Cease and desist
orders were issued to five
Anderson County residents
and five Coffey County residents.
Initial cost estimates of
$336,000 have been placed on
a county annex building the
Anderson County Commission
hopes to build on land it owns
on the west side of the Garnett
square.

A plan to help ease the financial strain at the Anderson
County Hospital was developed
by the board. According to figures presented, the hospital
spent $121,800 more in 1986 than
in 1985 and that they had fewer
patients during 1986. The board
also reviewed figures that stated for the month of November
there was a $29,000 cash flow
problem. Several options were
discussed, such as cutting the
nursing staff down to only one
registered nurse on a shift with
staff representative Dr. David
Henderson. Henderson posed
the problem of a critical emergency and the staff not being
adequate. The board decided this was not the answer.
Another option was cutting the
staff by six, or a cost analysis
on the drugs used in patient
care.
