Highway project means worries for local businesses
Spring highway detours to
route traffic away from area,
city officials express concern
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
WELDA A major highway reconstruction project on U.S. 59/169
between Garnett and Welda this
spring has the concern of local officials in Garnett because of the likelihood of lost business for a number of
local retailers.
Kansas
Department
of
Transportation officials told the
Review last week the project will
rebuild U.S. 169 from Welda north to
the junction with U.S. 59 (typically
referred to as the Five-Mile Junction),
and then widen the shoulders and
replace the surface of U.S. 169 from
that point north to the roundabout.
The overall project is expected to last
nearly a full year.
During the first phase of construction, traffic will be carried through

The Christmas Story, from the Book of Luke
…And it came to pass in those days,
that there went out a decree from
Caesar Augustus, that all the world
should be taxed. (And this taxing was
first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed,
every one into his own city. 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:) To
be taxed with Mary
his espoused wife,
being great with
Child. And so it
was, that, while
they were there,
the days were
accomplished
that she should
be delivered.
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.
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. And the angel said
unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I
bring you good tidings of
great joy, which shall be
to all people. For unto
you is born this day
in the city of David
a Saviour, which is
Christ the LORD.
And this shall be a
sign unto you; Ye
shall find the Babe
wrapped in swaddling
clothes,
lying in a man-
ger. And suddenly there was with the
angel a multitude of the heavenly host
praising God, and saying, Glory to
God in the highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men. 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.
And they came with haste, and found
Mary, and Joseph, and the Babe lying
in a manger. And when they had seen
it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning
this Child. And all they that heard it
wondered at those things which were
told them by the shepherds. But Mary
kept all these things, and pondered
them in her heart. And the shepherds
returned, glorifying and praising God
for all the things that they had heard
and seen, as it was told unto them…
FERC approves Southern Star project,
start time targeted for middle January
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 12-24-2019 / DANE HICKS
Freezing fog last Tuesday morning formed beautiful crystals on grass, plants
and vehicles in the area. Christmas week should be in the 50s with little chance
of precipitation through weeks end.
WELDA Federal regulators last week gave final
approval to a 31-mile pipeline abandonment and
replacement project by
Southern Star Central Gas
Pipeline which is set to
begin early in 2020.
A
Federal
Energy
Regulatory Commission
order
released
last
Thursday gave formal
approval to the project and
laid out a laundry list of
regulatory stipulations
contractors and Southern
Star must adhere to while
conducting
the
project.
The $145 million
job involves the abandonment of two gas lines running between Welda and
Ottawa and replacing them
with a single larger line. A
separate project will then
remove the two abandoned
lines. The overall project is
expected to take about two
years.
One of the lines to be
vacated was built in 1946,
the other in 1952. Corrosion
problems led to increasing frequency of repairs,

short tenure at CHHS,

RICHMOND The USD 288
Central

School
District is now in search of
a new superintendent, after
board members agreed earlier
this month to release Brian
Spencer from the last year of
his two-year contract.
Spencer, who spent 11 years
as superintendent at USD 421
in Lyndon before coming to
Central Heights in 2015, said
he planned to retire at the end
of the school year.
I am excited and nervous
all at the

he told the
Review.

Previous to his tenure at
Lyndon, Spencer served as
K-12 principal and superintendent for the Southern Cloud
USD 334 in Miltonvale. He
started his teaching career
teaching middle school drama,
speech and English at Flint
Hills USD 492 in Rosalia.
In other news from the
December USD 288 board
meeting:
board members discussed
the financing of the districts
upcoming drainage project
south of the main building.
Spencer said he anticipated
moving forward with the project using capital outlay funds.
board members discussed
the present board vacancy
left by Shawn Cardin moving out of the district. Voters
approved an at-large clause in
the November election, so all
board posts will now be elected at-large which alleviates
problems finding interested
members from individual districts. The deadline for applications is Feb. 9.
an internal security camera
project has been completed
so staff now has high definition visibility throughout the
majority of the school. An
upgrade to the video recorder
was also made to provide better playback and give the district some 30 days of archive
footage.
the district has been pre-selected for a Diesel Emissions
Reduction Act grant from the

Agency of $15,000 to go toward

according to the federal
order.
Southern Star began
studying the project in
2018 and filed its application with federal regulators
about a year ago. Company
officials said earlier this
month they expected the
FERCs approval to come
in January, with the commencement of work starting sometime in February.
It was unclear last week if
the early approval would
also result in an earlier
start date.
Word of the project
resulted in a flurry of development in recent months,
as local landowners and
entrepreneurs in the county constructed a number
of parking areas for recreational vehicles, which are
often hauled by contract
workers into work areas
for housing. The company estimates more than $4
million in initial economic
impact in Anderson County
during the project period,
and some $45 miillion in
Kansas as a whole.
Decline in school lunch kids means
$200,000 reduction in USD 288 revenues
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND Declining student enrollment and fewer
students on the federal free
lunch program has resulted in
a $200,000 funding reduction
for Central Heights this school
year, and prompted the school
board and administration to
examine emergency budget
cuts to try to put the district
back in the black.
Superintendent
Brian
Spencer said USD 288 board
members had not yet arrived
at a cost saving plan to meet
the deficit, but that those discussions had begun with board
members.
Spencer said the district has
lost about 50 students from the
free lunch program since last
school year.
School districts participating in the USDAs school lunch
program receive cash subsidies as well as government
food commodities for each
reimbursable meal they serve.
In exchange, school districts
in the program must serve
lunches that meet federal meal
pattern requirements and offer
the lunches at a free or reduced
price to eligible children based
on family income.

M i c h a e l
(Mike) Adams

Mary was a devoted spouse
and mother. Caring for her
family and spending time with
them was her greatest joy.
Playing cards and Bingo were
among her favorite activities.
As an active member and volunteer at St. Agnes Catholic
Parish for over 50 years, Marys
faith was extremely important
to her.
Mary was preceded in
death by her husband, Mike
Adams January 20, 1994; parents, Rudolph and Rose Katzer;
two infant brothers, Carl and
Dennis; four brothers- Joseph,
Alfred, Urban and Leonard.

Colony Christian Church news Christmas; More than
Bruce Symes gave the
Communion Meditation referencing John 21:15-17. This is
where Jesus asks Peter three
times if he loves him. While
in Israel recently, Bruce had
a similar experience. He came
to the realization that he loved
Jesus, but not with the unconditional love that Jesus loves
us. We love the idea of loving
God/Jesus with all of our heart,
soul, mind and strength, but we
all fall short. Jesus knows our
every thought, our brokenness,
our sins, and yet he still loves us
unconditionally. God gave his
only son, Jesus, because of that
love.
Pastor Chase Riebel gave the
sermon titled "The Roadways of
Scripture". Malachi 3:1 tells us
that a messenger will be sent to
prepare the way of the Savior.
Matthew 11:10 tells us that John
the Baptist is that messenger.
He prepared the way for the
coming of Jesus, who is the
Way, the Truth and the Life.

Jay Bodenhamer, age 85,
passed away on Wednesday,
December 18, 2019, at the
Anderson County Hospital.
Funeral services are pending.
There are three major highways discussed in Matthew. 1.
Highway to Hell – This road is
big, there are no traffic jams,
and it's popular. 2. The Narrow
Road of Life – This one is not so
easy and we struggle to stay on
it. We must constantly correct
our "wheel" to go straight, but
we have the map… the Bible to
help us get where we're headed.
3. Highway of Holiness – This
is an elevated road, and we
can reach it at the end of the
narrow road, so stay diligent
friends, for the enemy is forcefully attacking the Kingdom of
Heaven. You can hear this sermon in its entirety at http://

the birth of a baby!
In the second chapter of
Luke we read the narrative
of the birth of Jesus. Luke
tells us that Caesar Augustus
had issued a decree requiring everyone to register in
their hometown. For Joseph
this meant Bethlehem. This
fulfilled the prophecy stated in Micah 5:2 some 700
years earlier by the prophet Micah which said, But
you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
though you are small among
the clans of Judah out of you
will come for me (God), one
(Jesus), who will be ruler over
Israel, whose origins are from
old, from ancient times.
Luke then describes the
visit of the angel to the shepherds who were keeping their
flocks out in the fields nearby.
Suddenly a great company of
the heavenly host appeared
with the angel, praising God
and saying, Glory to God in
the highest peace on earth,
good will toward men. Ever
since the birth of Jesus we
have been looking for this
peace and goodwill, yet there
seems to be less peace and
goodwill between men now
than ever before. This can
be traced back to the Garden
of Eden when in Genesis 3
God banished Adam and Eve
from the garden and placed a
curse on man and the ground.
Instead of living in paradise
serving a loving God we live
in a world that is characterized by suffering, sickness,
pain and death. Our best
efforts are often scoffed at,
our best intentions ignored
and our families fractured. So
when will this peace on earth
good will toward men come
to pass?
We are given a clear picture in Revelation 22. In the
book of Revelation the Apostle
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
John is exiled to the isle of
Patmos. God sent his angel
to the apostle and through a
series of visions John sees
the New Jerusalem. We read
in Revelation 22:1-3, Then the
angel showed me the river
of the water of life, as clear
as a crystal flowing from the
throne of God and the Lamb
(Jesus) down the middle of
the great street of the city. On
each side of the river stood
the tree of life, bearing twelve
crops of fruit every month.
And the leaves of the tree are
for the healing of the nations.
No longer will there be any
curse.
I believe this identifies the
beginning of peace on earth,
good will toward men. With
the birth of Jesus we entered
the era of grace. This will continue till the return of Jesus
for his church when all people
of all times will be raised for
the judgment and take their
place before Christs throne.
At the judgment every person will give an individual account to God, and God
through Christ will render
to each one according to his
works. There we will see
God and Jesus as they are.
Now we know in part then
we shall know fully.
Ministry on the Holiness of God.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, December 24, 2019
OPINION
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus
Previously published in the Review
December 2006
Eight year old Virginia OHanlon lived on
the Upper West Side of New York City and
firmly believed in Santa Claus. However, some
of her less fortunate young friends said there
wasnt any Santa Claus and began to put doubt
in her mind.
Virginia asked her father, Philip, a doctor who worked for the New York Police
Department, if Santa Claus was real.
In the past, the OHanlon family had written
to the Question and Answer column in The
Sun to settle matters of fact. Philip recommended his daughter write to their favorite
newspaper seeking an answer to one of the most
famous questions of all time.
While an editor at The New York Sun newspaper, Francis Church was handed a letter
on September 20, 1897, and asked to write a
response for the next days edition. His editorial reply has become legendary.
The editorial was reprinted every year.
However, it wasnt until after his death in 1906
that it became publicly known that Francis
Church had written the editorial reply to
Virginia OHanlons 1897 letter.
DEAR EDITOR: I am 8 years old. Some
of my little friends say there is no Santa
Claus. Papa says, If you see it in THE SUN
its so. Please tell me the truth; is there a
Santa Claus?
VIRGINIA OHANLON
115 WEST NINETY-FIFTH STREET.
VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong.
They have been affected by the skepticism of a
skeptical age. They do not believe except [what]
they see. They think that nothing can be which
is not comprehensible by their little minds. All
minds, Virginia, whether they be mens or childrens, are little. In this great universe of ours
man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect,
as compared with the boundless world about
him, as measured by the intelligence capable of
grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.__
Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He
exists certainly as love and generosity and
devotion exist, and you know that they abound
and give to your life its highest beauty and joy.
Alas! How dreary would be the world if there
were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if
there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no
childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to
make tolerable this existence. We should have
no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The
eternal light which childhood fills the world
would be extinguished.
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well
not believe in fairies! You might get your papa
to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on
Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if
they did not see Santa
Claus coming down,
He exists
what would that
certainly as love prove? Nobody sees
Santa Claus, but that
is no sign that there
and generosity
is no Santa Claus. The
and devotion
most real things in the
world are those that
exist…
neither children nor
men can see. Did you
ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of
course not, but thats
no proof that they are not there. Nobody can
conceive or imagine all the wonders there are
unseen and unseeable in the world.__
You tear apart the babys rattle and see what
makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest
man, nor even the united strength of all the
strongest man that ever lived, could tear apart.
Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance can
push aside that curtain and view and picture
the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all
real? Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world there is
nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus!
Thank GOD! He lives, and he lives forever. A
thousand years from now, nay, ten times ten
thousand years from now, he will continue to
make glad the heart of childhood.
Having her faith restored, Virginia grew
up and graduated from Hunter College with a
Bachelor of Arts degree in 1910. She received
her Masters degrees from Columbia in 1911. In
1912, she began a 47-year career as a teacher in
New York City and later became a school principal. Virginia died on May 13, 1971, at the age
of 81. ###

I would like to speak on the disgrace of the
United States in the Congress. Dont care
whether youre Republican or Democrat, but
what has been happening in Washington the
last three years is a disgrace to the whole
world. If you lived in any other country youd
have been executed a long time ago, and I hope
a lot of you get to be executed politically anyway. No human being should be treated the
way President Trump has been treated for the
office for no other reason. Now the whole world
knows our dirty laundry. Try North Korea, try
China, try some of these other countries and
see what would happen if you attacked any
leader the way Trumps been attacked the last
three years. Absolutely, absolutely disgraceful.
Thank you.

The history of the Christmas weve come to know
Christmas is the time of year when everyone seems a little happier and are a little nicer
to each other. It is when we look forward to
spending time with family and friends enjoying all of our favorite Christmas traditions.
Yet, historically speaking, this was not always
the case. Especially in America, we did not
celebrate Christmas until the 1820s with the
publication of a couple of important novels.
What was originally called the Feast of the
Nativity reached England in the sixth century
and began being called Christmas. Dont think
of it as the same holiday as we celebrate today.
It was more a drunken party similar to Mardi
Gras or Halloween than Christmas. It was
gangs of poor going door-to-door demanding
gifts. Think of some early Christmas carols.
In Here We Come A-Wassaling there is the
line, We are not daily beggars that beg from
door to door; but we are neighbours children,
whom you have seen before. In We Wish
You a Merry Christmas, we sing about going
house to house basically demanding food.
This debauchery at Christmas played a part
in Americas founding. The radical religious
sect known as the Puritans wanted to rid
the Church of England of all things Catholic,
including the pagan practices that had crept
into the Church. One of those practices was
Christmas. There is no mention of Christmas
in the Bible and no set date for the birth of
GUEST COMMENTARY
JAMES FINCK, USAO HISTORIAN
Jesus. The Catholic Church had set Christmas
during the winter solstice to help convert the
Germanic tribes by claiming their religious
feasts. The practice of Christmas was one
of many doctrinally differences that led the
Puritans to the New World to set up their City
on the Hill. With Puritanism being one of the
most influential institutions in American culture, Christmas was not practiced in the colonies. During and after the Revolutionary War,
many British practices, including Christmas,
were seen as taboo. In fact, Christmas does
not become an official American holiday until
1870.
Christmas as we know it comes in the
1820s because of two important works of fiction (reading really does change the world).
Americas first great author was Washington
Irving. We had many writers at that point, but
they mimicked British writing. Irving was the
first to write something uniquely American.
In 1819 he wrote The Sketchbook of Geoffrey
Crayon, Gent that includes some of his most
famous stories such as The Legend of Sleepy
Hollow and Rip Van Winkle. The one entitled Christmas showed an English squire
inviting peasants into his home for Christmas.
Irving believed Christmas should be a peaceful time where all classes could live in harmony. In his story he invented ancient customs
such as family members returning from far
away once more to assemble about the paternal hearth, that rallying-place of affections.
The second book, of course, was The
Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. This
1843 novel, even more than Irving, shaped
our current idea of Christmas. The message
of charity and good will to all struck a chord
in America. I dont have room to discuss
this here, but childhood had only recently
become a thing. Before, children were just
small adults. Now with childhood, parents
had a day to lavish their children with gifts

Justices preserve homelessness, feces in streets
The Supreme Court just ensured that the
nations homelessness crisis will continue.
The court declined to take up an appeal of a
ruling by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, covering the western United States, that homeless
encampments are a de facto constitutional
right.
In the case, stemming from a Boise, Idaho,
ordinance, the 9th Circuit maintained that
enforcing a prohibition against camping in
public places is a violation of the Eighth
Amendments prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment.
A quick reminder. The Eighth Amendment
says, Excessive bail shall not be required,
nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and
unusual punishment inflicted. It was adopted
out of fear that Congress might, as Abraham
Holmes put it, mimic the sorry experience of
that diabolical institution, the Inquisition,
or in the words of Patrick Henry, introduce
the practice of France, Spain, and Germany of
torturing, to extort a confession of the crime.
Its a long way down from these fears to the
city of Boise trying to keep the homeless from
creating public nuisances and dangers.
What cruel and unusual punishments were
the plaintiffs found guilty of violating Boises
camping and disorderly conduct ordinances
subjected to? Tarring and feathering? The
rack? No, they were all sentenced to time
served, with the exception of one of them who
was twice sentenced to one additional day in
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
jail. One of the plaintiffs who pled guilty paid
a $25 fine.
Nonetheless, the 9th Circuit somehow
invented constitutional warrant to declare
Boise guilty of a grievous violation of the Bill
of Rights. According to the 9th Circuit, such
encampment laws now cant be enforced so
long as there are more homeless people than
practically available shelter beds in any jurisdiction.
The ruling was a body blow to localities in
the West where homelessness has been exploding. Its not as though these places are heartless. Cities have been devoting significant
resources to shelter and trying other tacks,
including regional cooperation to homeless
outreach teams.
Since the basis of the 9th Circuits decision
is that sleeping is a basic human need, it puts
at risk other commonsense statutes. It is also
a basic human need to defecate and urinate.
A drug addict feels a need to use drugs. When
will the 9th Circuit, or some other adventurous court, find Eighth Amendment protection
for these?
There is an obvious public interest in tearing down encampments and keeping them
from springing up. They are dens of public
health risks, drug abuse and crime that significantly degrade the quality of life.
When Orange County, Calif., cleared out a
big encampment last year, it found more than
13,000 needles, 5,000 pounds of waste — including human waste — and 400 tons of debris.
Workers at City Hall in Los Angeles have
been exposed to trash and bodily fluids from
nearby encampments, which also were responsible for a rodent infestation at City Hall.
San Francisco is notorious for needles and
human feces on its streets.
A society that lacks the ability to prevent
such blatant and revolting affronts to public
order — degrading and dangerous even to their
supposed beneficiaries — has lost something
important. A society that tells itself that it is
literally impermissible to use the law to discourage them has lost its mind.

Homes Tour success
To the editor,
Another successful Holiday Homes Tour is
in the books and there are so many to thank!
Holy Angles Church is where the tour
began. The church looked exquisite with purple accents for the Advent Season. The music
provided by the choir was magnificent and the
message from Father Daniel Stover was perfect
to start the Season.
A huge Thank-you goes to the homeowners who worked tirelessly to make sure their
house/vineyard looked just perfect.
Each residence was
Readers Letters unique to
the owner.
Everyone
who visited was in awe of the spectacular decorations. We so appreciate the many hours that
were put into making each place so special.
Thank-yous go out to Erin Miller of Garnett
Flowers and Gifts for the beautiful poinsettias
she gifted to each home and the library, and
to Valerie Foltz of Monroe 816 for her gift of a
candle to each residence.
The Library was splendidly decorated and
in the Galleries were a fascinating display of
antique model trains, stunning quilts, and a
elegant collection of Nativity sets.
Wonderful entertainment was provided by
Sheryl Urquhart, Lainie and Josie Walter, and
the Osawatomie Brass.
The Friends of the Library bakers outdid
themselves with a delightful supply of delicious treats.
Monroe 816 and the BPW Holiday Boutique
were open for business for shoppers who wanted to get a head start on their Christmas list.
The Holiday Homes Tour is a major fundraiser for the Friends of the Library, so we do
appreciate all who purchase tickets and enjoy
the tour. If you missed it, you missed a marvelous event.
We hope you put the first Sunday in
December on your calendar now so you can
enjoy the tour next year.
We will soon be ready to start thinking
about next year. If you, or someone you know,
would like to show off your beautiful home to
a very appreciative group, please contact the
Garnett Public Library.
Merry Christmas and have a Blessed New
Year.

Dec. 1979 – Consistent theft of pay
phones threatens removal of them
December 2009
Volunteer firemen and first
responders in Colony will finally get to start construction
on their new fire barn when
spring rolls around. A Kan
Step Grant through CDBG was
applied for over a year ago,
but was rewarded to the group
last week. The City of Colony
donated the land for the project.
The new facility will house five
emergency vehicles and have
a safe room that will be open
to the community in the event
of emergencies. The grant will
provide up to $300,000 with a
60/40 split. The 40 percent that
will be the departments responsibility must be done through
volunteer labor.

According to owner Willis
Henderson, the story of his
Christmas gift started when one
of his rigs went to California
with a load of cattle to be delivered. The cattle were delivered,
but the rig never made it back to
Kansas. While sitting at a truck
stop, it was stolen. He didnt
have insurance for theft on the
rig, and after several weeks,
gave up on getting the truck
back. Much to his surprise, the
$30,000 to $35,000 rig made its
way back home just in time for
Christmas. A gift that might be
better than any Christmas gift
hes ever received before.

is collected every few days and
there is usually only a few dollars worth of change in any one
phone at any time. However,
there has been trouble with
several of these phones being
taken over the last few years

removing them if the problem
continues.

Uncle Sam Play Coins have interesting history
DIGGING UP THE PAST
Henry Roeckers
Call (785) 504-4722 for
local archeology information.
For those of you who own
and operate a metal detector as
much as I do will soon discover
they have found a variety of
different artifacts.
Your first glance at this picture, you probably say, I know
what those are. Tokens right?
No, actually they are Uncle
Sams play money.
The bankruptcy of the
Grimland brothers, who
brought their play money business to Texas from Florida, was
the stimulus for the creation of
the Uncle Sam series of play
coins.
The Wacotex Co. took over
the business and changed the
product name. The first items
with the new name were issued
in 1949. By 1954 they were selling a package called Bag-ODough for 10 cents. On the
back was printed the following:
Genuine Wacotex School and
Play Coins. Approximately 18
copper and aluminum coins
with a play dollar included.
Teaches children to make
change-coin recognition-play
store-budgeting-arithmetic-several games-etc.
Wacotex coins were used
by many schools for these purposes. There was also a 1954
toy money series called TexA-Toy which may have been
made by Wacotex.
Almost all the early Uncle
Sam coins bare the W mintmark, which reportedly stood
for Waco. For some unknown
reason the business was sold to
Mr.O.T.Grove in 1956.
He changed the company
name to Grove-Tex Industries.
By 1960 other mint marks
began to appear on the product.
Business was very good in the
1950s and 1960s. Eventually
the foreign competition made
an effect.
During the period of 1974 to
1983 the Ideal School Supply
Co. purchased Uncle Sam Play
Money and packaged it under
their own name. After more
than 30 years of producing play
money with nearly 100 different coins made, the presently named Grove Printing Co.
stopped making Uncle Sam
coins in 1983.
Wouldnt it be exciting and
interesting to know if any
schools in Anderson County
used Uncle Sam Play Coins?
How did these ever get lost in
Garnett, Ks. and by whom?

The history of Christmas
by History.com Editors
Christmas is celebrated
on December 25 and is both a
sacred religious holiday and a
worldwide cultural and commercial phenomenon. For two
millennia, people around the
world have been observing it
with traditions and practices that are both religious and
secular in nature. Christians
celebrate Christmas Day as
the anniversary of the birth
of Jesus of Nazareth, a spiritual leader whose teachings
form the basis of their religion. Popular customs include
exchanging gifts, decorating Christmas trees, attending church, sharing meals
with family and friends and,
of course, waiting for Santa
Claus to arrive. December
25Christmas Dayhas been a
federal holiday in the United
States since 1870.
How Did Christmas Start?
The middle of winter has long
been a time of celebration
around the world. Centuries
before the arrival of the man
called Jesus, early Europeans
celebrated light and birth in the
darkest days of winter. Many
peoples rejoiced during the
winter solstice, when the worst
of the winter was behind them
and they could look forward
to longer days and extended
hours of sunlight.
In Scandinavia, the Norse
celebrated Yule from December
21, the winter solstice, through
January. In recognition of the
return of the sun, fathers and
sons would bring home large
logs, which they would set on
fire. The people would feast
until the log burned out, which
could take as many as 12 days.
The Norse believed that each
spark from the fire represented
a new pig or calf that would be
born during the coming year.
The end of December was a
perfect time for celebration in
most areas of Europe. At that
time of year, most cattle were
slaughtered so they would not
have to be fed during the winter. For many, it was the only
time of year when they had a
supply of fresh meat. In addition, most wine and beer made
during the year was finally fermented and ready for drinking.
In Germany, people honored
the pagan god Oden during the
mid-winter holiday. Germans
were terrified of Oden, as
they believed he made nocturnal flights through the sky to
observe his people, and then
decide who would prosper or
perish. Because of his presence, many people chose to
stay inside.
Saturnalia
In Rome, where winters were
not as harsh as those in the far
north, Saturnaliaa holiday
in honor of Saturn, the god of
agriculturewas celebrated.
Beginning in the week leading
up to the winter solstice and
continuing for a full month,
Saturnalia was a hedonistic
time, when food and drink
were plentiful and the normal
Roman social order was turned
upside down. For a month,
slaves would become masters.
Peasants were in command of
the city. Business and schools
were closed so that everyone
could join in the fun.
Also around the time of
the winter solstice, Romans
observed Juvenalia, a feast
honoring the children of Rome.
In addition, members of the
upper classes often celebrated
the birthday of Mithra, the god
of the unconquerable sun, on
December 25. It was believed
that Mithra, an infant god,
was born of a rock. For some
Romans, Mithras birthday
was the most sacred day of the
year.
Is Christmas Really the Day
Jesus Was Born?
In the early years of
Christianity, Easter was the
main holiday; the birth of
Jesus was not celebrated. In
the fourth century, church officials decided to institute the
birth of Jesus as a holiday.
Unfortunately, the Bible does
not mention date for his birth (a
fact Puritans later pointed out
in order to deny the legitimacy
Christmas facts

Each year, 30-35 million real
Christmas trees are sold in the
United States alone. There are
21,000 Christmas tree growers in
the United States, and trees usually grow for about 15 years before
they are sold.
Today, in the Greek and
Russian orthodox churches,
Christmas is celebrated 13 to
14 days after the 25th. This is
because Western churches use
the Gregorian Calendar, while
Eastern Churches use the Julian
Calendar.
In the Middle Ages, Christmas
celebrations were rowdy and raucousa lot like todays Mardi
Gras parties.

Christmas was declared a federal holiday in the United States

of the celebration). Although
some evidence suggests that
his birth may have occurred
in the spring (why would shepherds be herding in the middle
of winter?), Pope Julius I chose
December 25. It is commonly
believed that the church chose
this date in an effort to adopt
and absorb the traditions of the
pagan Saturnalia festival. First
called the Feast of the Nativity,
the custom spread to Egypt by
432 and to England by the end
of the sixth century.
By the end of the eighth
century, the celebration of
Christmas had spread all the
way to Scandinavia. Today, in
the Greek and Russian orthodox churches, Christmas is
celebrated 13 to 14 days after
the 25th. This is because
Western churches use the
Gregorian Calendar, while
Eastern Churches use the
Julian Calendar, which is 13 to
14 days behind the Gregorian
Calendar. Both Western and
Eastern churches celebrate
Epiphany or Three Kings Day
12 days after their own respective Christmases. This is the
day it is believed that the three
wise men finally found Jesus in
the manger.
By holding Christmas at the
same time as traditional winter solstice festivals, church
leaders increased the chances
that Christmas would be popularly embraced, but gave up
the ability to dictate how it
was celebrated. By the Middle
Ages, Christianity had, for the
most part, replaced pagan religion. On Christmas, believers
attended church, then celebrated raucously in a drunken, carnival-like atmosphere
similar to todays Mardi Gras.
Each year, a beggar or student
would be crowned the lord of
misrule and eager celebrants
played the part of his subjects.
The poor would go to the houses of the rich and demand their
best food and drink. If owners
failed to comply, their visitors
would most likely terrorize
them with mischief. Christmas
became the time of year when
the upper classes could repay
their real or imagined debt
to society by entertaining less
fortunate citizens.
When Christmas Was
Cancelled
In the early 17th century, a wave
of religious reform changed
the way Christmas was celebrated in Europe. When Oliver
Cromwell and his Puritan forces took over England in 1645,
they vowed to rid England of
decadence and, as part of their
effort, cancelled Christmas. By
popular demand, Charles II
was restored to the throne and,
with him, came the return of
the popular holiday.
The pilgrims, English separatists that came to America
in 1620, were even more orthodox in their Puritan beliefs
than Cromwell. As a result,
Christmas was not a holiday in early America. From
1659 to 1681, the celebration
of Christmas was actually
outlawed in Boston. Anyone
exhibiting the Christmas spirit was fined five shillings. By
contrast, in the Jamestown settlement, Captain John Smith
reported that Christmas was
enjoyed by all and passed without incident.
After
the
American
Revolution, English customs
fell out of favor, including
Christmas. In fact, Christmas
wasnt declared a federal holiday until June 26, 1870.
Washington Irving Reinvents
Christmas
It wasnt until the 19th century that Americans began to
embrace Christmas. Americans
re-invented Christmas, and
changed it from a raucous carnival holiday into a family-centered day of peace and nostalgia. But what about the 1800s
piqued American interest in
the holiday?
The early 19th century was a
period of class conflict and turmoil. During this time, unemployment was high and gang
rioting by the disenchanted
classes often occurred during
the Christmas season. In
1828, the New York city council instituted the citys first
police force in response to a
Christmas riot. This catalyzed
certain members of the upper
classes to begin to change the
way Christmas was celebrated
in America.
In 1819, best-selling author
Washington Irving wrote
The Sketchbook of Geoffrey
Crayon, gent., a series of stories about the celebration
of Christmas in an English
manor house. The sketches
feature a squire who invited
the peasants into his home for
the holiday. In contrast to the
problems faced in American
society, the two groups mingled effortlessly. In Irvings
mind, Christmas should be a
peaceful, warm-hearted holiday bringing groups together
across lines of wealth or social
status. Irvings fictitious celebrants enjoyed ancient customs, including the crowning
of a Lord of Misrule. Irvings
book, however, was not based
on any holiday celebration he
had attended in fact, many
historians say that Irvings
account actually invented
tradition by implying that it
described the true customs of
the season.
A Christmas Carol
Also around this time, English
author Charles Dickens created the classic holiday tale, A
Christmas Carol. The storys
message-the importance of
charity and good will towards
all humankind-struck a powerful chord in the United States
and England and showed members of Victorian society the
benefits of celebrating the holiday.
The family was also becoming less disciplined and more
sensitive to the emotional
needs of children during the
early 1800s. Christmas provided families with a day when
they could lavish attention-and
gifts-on their children without
appearing to spoil them.
As Americans began to
embrace Christmas as a perfect
family holiday, old customs
were unearthed. People looked
toward recent immigrants
and Catholic and Episcopalian
churches to see how the day
should be celebrated. In the
next 100 years, Americans built
a Christmas tradition all their
own that included pieces of
many other customs, including
decorating trees, sending holiday cards and gift-giving.
Although most families
quickly bought into the idea
that they were celebrating
Christmas how it had been
done for centuries, Americans
had really re-invented a holiday to fill the cultural needs of
a growing nation.
Who Invented Santa Claus?
The legend of Santa Claus
can be traced back to a monk
named St. Nicholas who was
born in Turkey around 280
A.D.. St. Nicholas gave away
all of his inherited wealth and
traveled the countryside helping the poor and sick, becoming known as the protector of
children and sailors.
St. Nicholas first entered
American popular culture in
the late 18th century in New
York, when Dutch families
gathered to honor the anniversary of the death of Sint
Nikolaas (Dutch for Saint
Nicholas), or Sinter Klaas for
short. Santa Claus draws his
name from this abbreviation.
In 1822, Episcopal minister
Clement Clarke Moore wrote
a Christmas poem called
An Account of a Visit from
St. Nicholas, more popularly known today by its first
line: Twas The Night Before
Christmas. The poem depicted Santa Claus as a jolly man
who flies from home to home
on a sled driven by reindeer to
deliver toys.
The iconic version of Santa
Claus as a jolly man in red
with a white beard and a sack
of toys was immortalized in
1881, when political cartoonist
Thomas Nast drew on Moores
poem to create the image of Old
Saint Nick we know today.

St. Paul pulls away late over Crest
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
ST. PAUL – A short-handed
Crest Lancer squad gave St.
Paul all they could handle and
then some for 3-plus quarters
before St.Paul went on a late
run to win 68-44.
Crest trailed after the first
quarter just 17-15 before St.
Paul opened things up in the
second outpacing the Lancers
22-12 to take a 39-27 advantage
into intermission.
St. Paul would struggle to
keep control as Crest rebounded in the third quarter to cut
the deficit heading into the
fourth and stay within striking distance, 47-39.
Being short-handed and
overmatched would finally
catch up with Crest as St. Paul
spread them out and forced
them to put pressure on the
ball and St. Paul was just too
quick and athletic for Crest.
The final score isnt always
indicative of how a team
played.
"Despite being without
two starters I was very proud
of how our kids fought and
competed, head coach Travis
Hermreck stated despite the
lopsided defeat.
St. Paul is a very talented and athletic team, and we
made them earn the win. The
game had a weird ebb and flow
to it. They would have us on
the brink of getting blown out,
then we would make a run and
get the lead to single digits,
then repeat. We were down
8 early in the fourth quarter,
they put the ball in the corners
and made us come out and
guard them. They were way
too quick and athletic for us to
contain, so the lead ballooned

the second half in a 36-30 defeat.
Mission Valley scored just 2

had just 11 at intermission.
The problem was the
Vikings didnt tear it up offensively over that span themselves. Central Heights scored
6 points in each of the first two

Mission Valley would finally take the lead in the third
quarter with a 14-11 advantage
to go up 25-23 heading into the

Conservation Reserve Program
(CRP) sign-up underway
The USDA Farm Service
Agency has announced the
54th general enrollment period
for the Conservation Reserve
Program (CRP). It began on
December 9, 2019 and will end
on February 28, 2020. This will
be an opportunity for producers to submit offers to re-enroll
land that expired from a previous CRP contract or to re-enroll an existing CRP contract
that will expire in September of
2020. Interested producers may
also submit offers to enroll eligible fields that are currently
not under a CRP contract.
Some of the basic eligibility
requirements are as follows:
A) Producer must have
owned or operated the land for
at least 12 months prior to close
of sign-up.
B) The land must be cropland that was planted or considered planted to an agricultural commodity 4 of the 6
years from 2012 to 2017. Land
previously enrolled in CRP
that expired during crop years
2012 through 2017 where the
grass cover continues to be
maintained as though enrolled
in CRP is considered planted to
an agriculture commodity.
C) Have a weighted average
erosion index of 8 or higher or
be expiring CRP acreage.
Offers may be submitted on
any acres that meet all the eligibility criteria noted above.
This may be a whole field or any
part of a field. General sign-up
offers are typically larger land
masses than the Continuous
CRP practices. General CRP
practices require the land to be
seeded to a permanent cover.
The most common practice is
a grass cover containing various species of grasses and some
forbs or legumes. Participants
will be given the opportunity
to choose which practice they
would like to install on their
land if accepted into the program. In exchange for seeding
the cover the program participant will receive an annual
rental payment during the
10 to 15-year contract period.
Participants will also be able to
receive assistance with the cost
of installing the practice. Cost
share can be paid on 50% of the
eligible actual cost incurred
but will be limited to the county average cost.
Interested parties will be
provided with the maximum
average rental rate that may
be offered when they come into
the office to enroll during the
sign-up period. The rate will be
reflective of the three predominate soil types contained in the
eligible acres of the offer.
CRP offers will be taken
until February 28, 2020, and
will be ranked according to the
Environmental Benefits Index
(EBI). FSA staff members will
explain the EBI ranking factors to allow each producer
the opportunity to maximize
their EBI score. After signup is complete, all offers are
transmitted to Washington DC
for ranking and to determine
which offers will be accepted
for approval.
The Anderson County FSA
Office highly encourages producers who are interested in
submitting offers for CRP to
contact them IMMEDIATELY
to schedule an appointment.
Please keep in mind that all
offers must be submitted by
4:30 PM February 28, 2020. For
more details about the General
CRP sign-up or to schedule an
appointment, please contact
the Anderson County Farm
Service Agency located at 111
N. Maple, Garnett, Kansas or
call 785-448-3128.
Calving school offered to
assist area beef producers
The Marais des Cygnes
District, Frontier District,
Johnson County and Douglas
County Extension Offices will
be hosting a Calving School
on Tuesday, January 14, 2020.
The program will be held at
the Celebration Hall, 220 W.
17th Street, on the Franklin
County Fairgrounds, in
Ottawa, Ks. The meeting will
kick off with a sponsored meal
at 6:00 p.m. followed by presentations starting at 6:30 p.m.
There is no cost to attend but
interested persons are asked
to pre-register by contacting
the Marais des Cygnes District
Paola office (913)-294-4306 or
emailing kbarth25@ksu.edu.
In anticipation of calving
season, K-States Department
of Animal Sciences and
Industry,
and
K-State
Research and Extension faculty and staff are planning a
series of events to help boost
producers chances of a successful calving season.
The program will outline
overall calving management
that includes stages of the
normal calving process and
tips to handle difficult calving
situations. K-State Research
and Extension beef veterinarian A.J. Tarpoff said the event
will increase knowledge, practical skills and the number of
live calves born. Dr. Tarpoff
will demonstrate proper use
of calving equipment on a lifesize cow and calf model.
Our goal is for producers
to leave better prepared for
calving season, Tarpoff said.
We will discuss timelines
on when to examine cows for
calving problems, and when
to call your vet for help if
things are not going well. Its
an excellent program regardless of experience level.
Dystocia, calving difficulty, is the result of the difference between calf size at
birth (birth weight) and the
dam's birth canal (pelvic
area). These two factors (birth
weight and pelvic area), along
with cow age, calf sex, gestation length, pre-calving nutrition and cow body condition,
season, calf presentation, and
maternal effects contribute to
differences in calving difficulty. Of these factors, research
has clearly demonstrated that
calf birth weight is the primary factor. As calf birth weight

increases, the percentage of
cows requiring calving assistance also increases.
Genetic selection is the
primary tool for effective
management of birth weight
and calving difficulty. Birth
weight is a highly heritable
trait, and responds to selection pressure. Tools such as
EPDs for birth and calving
ease should be used in sire
selection, especially, when
breeding first calf heifers.

Students at Greeley Elementary
have had a December full of
activities. The annual music
program was held Thursday,
December 12th and featured
the K-6th grades singing traditional Christmas selections, as
well as, the fifth and sixth grade
band performing several songs.
A couple other activities, which
are annually sponsored by the
Greeley PTO, were the building of gingerbread houses and
the Christmas Store.
While
the extra activities are really
fun, they also build skills such
as organization, creativity, small
motor skills, patience, and
budgeting. The final week of
the semester was Christmas
Spirit Week and everyone was
encouraged to wear Christmas
socks, hats, sweaters, and colors.
