Jeff Butler watches as Zach Mead sleds down the hill near the water
tower on East First Avenue Thursday. There was just enough snow
to make for limited sledding. Slick roads resulted in no classes for
area schools. More snow is forecasted for this week.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Brandon Jones
plans to change the way diversion funds are distributed when
he takes over the county attorneys office in January.
Jones told county commissioners recently of his plan to
distribute diversion funds similar to the way he does in Osage
County. Jones has been Osage
County attorney since 2007
and was re-elected to that post
in November, as well as being
elected Anderson County attorney. He plans to divide his time
between the two counties, and
visited Anderson County recently to familiarize himself with the
office and community. He also
spoke with commissioners about
some of his plans when he takes
office.
Jones said he plans to spend
some of the money collected
from diversion fees the fees
paid by suspects for various
crimes including Driving Under
the Influence to keep convictions
off their records to make capital improvements to the county attorneys office. The office
needs new carpet and paint, and
by using diversion funds he will
be able to make improvements
without the cost falling to taxpayers, he said.
But most of the diversion
money will be donated to local
charities that help prevent crime.
That could include after-prom
activities at local schools, Big
Brothers Big Sisters, 4-H, Court
Appointed Special Advocates
(CASA), and domestic violence
shelters. Those are all examples
of groups he donated to with
Osage County diversion funds.
I try to make most of the
donations tied to law enforcement, something that I think
does a great job in crime preven-

Each year, First Christian Church youth pastor Chris Goetz helps match a local Secret
Santa with families in need, but even he doesnt know the identity of the mysterious benefactor. All correspondence is done through secret notes left at the church.

atmosphere and its potential.
Blackies vision for the
future of Garnett apparently
elevated him to the top of the
list of potential city commission
candidates during an inverview process last week. Mayor
Greg Gwin and Commissioner
Preston Peine had intended last
week to interview the seven
candidates for a vacancy on the
commission, narrow the list and
conduct follow-up interviews.
Instead, they decided to skip a
second round of interviews and

Church pastor helps

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – The notes
appear on Chris Goetzs
desk at the First Christian
Church in Garnett every
year a few weeks before
Christmas. He is asked to
identify families from his
congregation who need a
little help, and to leave his
response in a basket at the
church.
A few days before
Christmas, those families
will receive a feast, groceries and presents.
But Goetz, youth pastor
at the church, doesnt know
the identity of the mysterious benefactor.
I know there are many
people who do things like

that, but Ive never seen anything quite like this. Usually
a pastor gets involved and
protects the identity or
something like that, Goetz
said. But I have no idea
who it is and to my knowledge, theres nobody that
knows. Its pretty cool.
Goetz has worked at the
Garnett church about four
years. He doesnt know

Domestic violence call
kicks off series of
events, car chase
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY What started as a
domestic violence incident
ended with a car chase and
an arrest last week, Anderson
County Sheriff Jeff Hupp said.
Sheriffs deputies were
called to Colony at about 3 p.m.
Tuesday, Dec. 18, for a domestic
violence dispute. Two people,
a man and a woman, reported
they were injured and treated at
the scene by EMS.
Deputies at the scene learned
a 29-year-old suspect, Seth
Kress, had said he was leaving to get a firearm but would
return and do harm to himself
and possibly others. Officers
alerted authorities in Iola and
Allen County, where Kress had
relatives. An officer in Allen
County saw Kress and attempted to pull over his vehicle.
That sparked a car chase
between Kress vehicle and law
enforcement. The chase continued into Anderson County and
back into Colony, where Kress
was stopped and arrested on
suspicion of various criminal
and traffic charges.
Local historian told countys
stories for more than 30 years
Dorothy Lickteig retires
as president of local
historical society
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GREELEY Everyone has a
story.
For the past 25 years,
Dorothy Lickteig has devoted
her time and efforts to tell as
many of those stories as possible stories that otherwise
would be lost to time, captured
only by a small write-up in an
old newspaper. Lickteig revived
those stories in dozens of historical volumes, books that tell
the history of people who lived
in Anderson County and helped
shape the community.
But as for Lickteig, 75, her
story is coming to an end. She is
retiring after 21 years as president of the Anderson County
Historical Society, with four
years as vice president before
that. Its time for someone else
to step up and tell the stories of
Anderson County.
Its time for new energy and
new ideas. I think you have to
go out while you can still bow
out gracefully, she said, displaying a sense of humor tinged
with realism and delivered with
a smile.
As for her own story,
Lickteigs journey to becoming
one of the premier historians
for Anderson County began
with a near-death experience
in 1969. She and her husband,
Walt, and their six children
developed a love of flying after
watching people use one of
their meadows as a runway for
a flight school. She began taking flying lessons and was conducting a check-out ride with
a retired U.S. Air Force major,
the final step before obtaining
her pilots license. But during
that final flight, a helicopter
taking promotional pictures of
Kansas City dropped down onto
the wing of her plane. Both
the plane and the helicopter
crashed, killing her instructor
and two people in the helicopter. Lickteig was the only survivor.
Lickteig woke up in a hospital, injured and afraid she
would not be able to walk. She
told herself, Ive still got my
mind. Ive got to do something

RECORD…
LICKTEIG…
FROM PAGE 1A
however, that her decision to
do something turned toward
a historical path. In 1978, her
mother asked her to find the
grave of her great-grandfather,
a man who had been killed
by Quantrills raiders in 1863.
The quest to find information
about her great-grandfather led
Lickteig to archives in Topeka
and Washington, D.C. She
learned how to research old
newspapers, military records
and other genealogical documents.
She was hooked.
Lickteigs roots run deep
in Anderson County very
deep. Nearly all of her ancestors came to Anderson County
in its very earliest days: the
Kippers in 1877, the Lickteigs in
1869, the Mersmans in 1863, the
Hermrecks in the late 1850s and
on and on. She has conducted
thorough genealogical histories on each of her familys
lines.
My roots were so deep, I
had to learn about every one of
their stories, she said.
Her reputation for historical
research spread, and officials
from her church, St. John the
Baptist Catholic Church, asked
for help compiling a history of
the church for its 100th anniversary. She worked on the
book with three other people,
eventually publishing a book
filled with historical facts and
newspaper clippings from the
churchs history.
That first book sparked an
increased interest to record the
history of all towns in Anderson
County. She was approached to
write books on the history of
Anderson County. Although a
similar volume had been published in the past, it was old and
outdated.
Lickteig spent all of her evenings in the early 1980s surrounded by old newspapers. Her
husband worked nights, so she
would stay up until 1 a.m. every
night researching, despite also
working at an insurance company during the day.
In 1992, her husband offered
to buy a computer if she could
find someone to help her learn
how to use it. The computer
became essential for one of her
most important projects a
book detailing every grave at
every cemetery in Anderson
County.
To me, it was so important
that everyone who died in this
county had their name, date of
birth and date of death listed,
if nothing else, Lickteig said.
I really put my life into that
cemetery book.
Lickteigs work has included
historical volumes on every
town in Anderson County, with
multiple volumes on some. She
started with Greeley and later
published books on Kincaid
(including Lone Elm), Scipio,
Harris, Westphalia and Colony.
She is working on a second
CHRISTMAS…
FROM PAGE 1A
when this particular Secret
Santa tradition started and
believes other church officials
also receive similar notes. But
the person or persons who ask
for names obviously want to
remain anonymous, and Goetz
said he wants to respect their
wishes.
I dont want to know. It
would kind of ruin it, Goetz
said. It is neat to identify people with kind hearts, and most
of us will bend a little to help
people.
Christmas is more about
giving than receiving, but most
of us give with some expectations. These people clearly have
no expectations.
Of course, hes still curious.
He assumes it probably is someone within the congregation,
and possibly someone who has
a key to the church because
the notes are left and picked
up overnight. But those are
just guesses. He really doesnt
know.
After Christmas last year, he
spoke with the family who benefited from the Secret Santa.
They didnt know their benefactors identity either, or at least
told Goetz they didnt. The family, a single mom with three
kids, received a feast including
a large ham and enough groceries to last a month. They told
Goetz they had never seen so
many Christmas presents under
their tree. They also received
a card, which Goetz read. He
doesnt remember exactly what
it said, only that it was a poem
about giving Christ the glory
this Christmas season. It was
signed, Secret Angel.
This year, the Secret Angel
asked for two families. Goetz
prayed for guidance about
which families among his congregation needed help the most.
He tries to pick someone who is
truly in need.
Goetz said he knows there
are many people and organizations that try to help people at
Christmastime, including many
Secret Santas. The church
organizes many programs as
well, including a tree filled
with hats and mittens and even
warm blankets, and Sunday
School classes that adopt families in need.
Still, this Secret Angel version of the Secret Santa program touches him. It reminds
him of the original Santa Claus,
Saint Nicholas, who gave away
his possessions to help people in
need in his community. So often
these days, its easy to leave
Christ out of Christmas and
focus on the commercialism,
Goetz said. But he is reminded
of Christ, knowing there are
people who want to help others
without any expectations, without any recognition and without
any personal glory.
Its a real privilege to have
people trust you enough to be
part of that process, he said.
COMMISSION…
FROM PAGE 1A
Dec. 20.
Blackie will finish the remainder of Dan Morgans term on
the city commission, or about
15 months. At that point, he
can run for election to the post.
Morgan resigned in November
when he moved to Texas.
Blackie has lived in Garnett
for about 10 years and owns
Lighthouse Electric. He also is
involved with Christian mission work through MidWest
Missionair, which provides air
flights for mission and disaster relief work. He also provides FAA certified flight training, aircraft maintenance and
inspection through Skyeflite.
Because of his aviation
experience, Blackie has served
on the citys airport board for
more than five years. He also
has served on the citys tourism
board.
Blackie said he has always
been impressed with Garnett
because it has the potential to
offer the amenities of a much
larger city while retaining a
small-town atmosphere. His goal
as a commissioner is to help the
city grow through business and
3A
REMEMBRANCES
financial improvements without spoiling its atmosphere, he
said Friday morning.
Peine said all candidates
were very well qualified and it
was a difficult decision. He said
he was impressed with Blackie
because he asked a lot of questions and had a lot of valuable
experience. He said Blackie
would provide an essential
viewpoint as someone who did
not grow up in Garnett; both
Peine and Gwin are natives of
the area.
In addition to Blackie, candidates including several people
with experience serving on
city advisory boards, including
a former city commissioner.
Peine said previously he hoped
to appoint a commissioner
before the final meeting of the
year Dec. 26, despite concerns
that it would be difficult to do
during the busy holiday season
and year-end activities.
The commission will meet
at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 26,
at City Hall. The commission
typically meets the second and
fourth Tuesday of the month,
but was pushed back a day
because of Christmas.

volume of Colony newspaper clippings, expected to be
available sometime next year.
She has also helped people in
Richmond compile information for a book, and worked on
the county courthouses 100th
anniversary promotion in 2001.
She was instrumental in saving the Valentin Gerth Cabin in
1999, home of one of Greeleys
first residents. She also invested a lot of time with the Kansas
Territorial Heritage Alliance,
researching John Brown and
Bleeding Kansas.
All of the time and effort she
has invested has been as a volunteer. She was not paid for her
work and has published all of
her books at her own expense.
Lickteig sold the books at
nearly cost, so she was able to
recoup printing costs but never
made much profit off the work.
Even so, its all been worth
it, she said. She has collected
so many stories from so many
people over the years. She
recalled a man from Germany
who wanted to find the U.S.
soldier who signed a release for
his father, a prisoner of war.
Lickteig was able to connect the
man with the soldiers daughter.
She remembered hearing
from a man from Italy who
watched the Grand Prix car
races at Lake Garnett as a boy in
the 1960s and decided some day
he would sell the kind of cars
he saw at the races. Eventually,
he did sell Lamborghinis and
Maseratis, and stopped by
Garnett one day on a business
trip.
She has helped people find
long-lost graves of loved ones.
On Jan. 29, for Kansas Day, she
plans to honor the grandson of
Greeleys founding father and a
relative of St. Phillip Duschene,
for whom a shrine at Greeley
and a Catholic school in Garnett
are named. More details about
that will be released later,
Lickteig said.
The saddest moment of her
tenure as historical society,
however, was the break-in at
the museum in 1998, when five
teen vandals smashed historical artifacts, destroyed glass
display cases and caused other
destruction.
But one of the highlights
was an open house at the museum just last year to celebrate
Garnett and the states 150th
birthday.
In November, she and her
husband served as grand marshals for the annual Christmas
parade in downtown Garnett.
Lickteig said she was honored
by the request. But like that day
in the hospital after she nearly
lost her life in a plane crash,
she wondered if she had done
enough good with her life.
You know theres always
more you could do, she said.
You just do the best you can
and hope its enough.
DIVERSIONS…
FROM PAGE 1A
tion, Jones said.
The countys diversion fund
is compiled from fees paid by
people who have been charged
with crimes generally firsttime offenses and who enter
an agreement with the prosecutor to meet specific criteria in
return for having the charges
effectively dismissed after a
set period of time. If terms of
the diversion are not met, the
offender loses all fees paid and
criminal prosecution resumes.
Diversions are especially popular for traffic infractions such
as speeding tickets or first-time
driving under the influence
cases.
Prosecutors have authority
to set diversion fees, although
Kansas statute gives county
commissioners the right to
actually spend the money. That
has made diversion money a
contentious issue in the past;
in 2011, County Attorney Fred
Campbell, who lost the election
to Jones, came under fire for
a request to spend diversion
money to fund part of the salary for a victim-witness coordinator. Campbell said if commissioners denied his request,
he would consider setting the
diversion fee at $1. Although
diversion fees vary considerably, they can range from about
$100 to up to $500 for more
serious crimes like DUI. Jones
said commissioners seemed to
approve of his plans.
Jones said diversions are
a great law enforcement tool.
First-time offenders can benefit from not having the offense
on their records, and its usually worth the money, he said.
For example, a diversion on a
speeding ticket likely would
more than pay for itself because
a conviction would result in
increased insurance rates.
Its a benefit to them but
its also important to hold them
accountable. One way is to hurt
them in the pocketbook, Jones
said.
Jones said he hasnt yet
considered if he will change
the countys diversion fees.
Currently, Anderson County
diversion fees for traffic offenses are $100 while fees for juvenile and misdemeanor cases are
$150, and felony cases are $200.
Using diversion fees for
improvements to the office and
donations to local charities is
a benefit to the county, Jones
said.
Its kind of like using
inmates to pick up trash or do
community service. It makes
for a nicer community without
costing taxpayers, he said.

From tragedy, the gift
of civility may define
this Christmas Day
Christmas Day seems an odd time to
speak of evil, but with the recent events
at Sandy Hook Elementary School in
Newtown, Conn., our country grieves,
today of all days, for the losses of those
families and prays for their comfort.
You may not believe in the devil, but
you cant deny the presence of evil.
Maybe the

PUBLISHER
sure it doesnt
happen. Maybe we all fight evil by
doing right and thinking right. Maybe
we assist evil in general, day to day,
when we give it a leg up
These shooters always prey on
the vulnerable and seek them out for
slaughter. Notice this guy didnt go to
a police station where a lot of people
were armed, or a shooting range. They
want vulnerable targets who cant
fight back. The cries for more gun control, though well intended, carry the
eminent threat of mandating a wider
scale of vulnerability for our nation.
Facts are facts regardless of emotion,
and the fact is that in places in this
country where the strictest gun control exists (Washington, D.C, Chicago,
Los Angeles) there are more gun violence-related deaths. Politics will be in
full swing in this debate, and perhaps
a plausible compromise would be to
trade a ban on assault weapons for a
ruling through the U.S. Department of
Education to allow teachers and administrators at schools and colleges who
qualify for concealed carry, if they so
choose and at no cost to them, carry
concealed weapons while on the job.
These killers all fit a profile. In their
20s, white and male. They always seem
to be loners, smart if not characterized
as brilliant, somehow disaffected or
disowned if not scourged by society. No
mass shooter has ever been the chairman of a Rotary, the president of a
Fortune 500 company, or someone who
has found degrees of success in life.
Somehow, our country must analyze
itself and determine the source of our
tendency toward violence from what
should arguably be the most entitled
segment of our population.
There is no understanding to be
had- but we have to imagine if evil fans
to a flame best on ill wind, then the less
ill wind we ourselves blow, the better.
There is a place for legitimate
debate, afterall, but embracing the ideal
of civility in our various public and
private debates, in view of whatever
turned Adam Lanza into a killer of first
graders and teachers, seems to have a
new importance. Can it help to curtail
our own hatefulness; can it help to cognitively deflate our own jealousies and
bitterness and anger over who-knowswhat real or perceived offenses? Can it
help to give the objects of our everyday
derision- the politicians or public figures or old rivals or teachers or bosses
or employees or co-workers or pro
sports teams or the outcast the benefit
of our civility? Does it help to give the
nerd a break?
Perhaps on this Christmas Day that
is a gift we can all give to each other.
Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a
state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill,
to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real
spirit of Christmas.
Calvin Coolidge
This nightly national news is getting
sickening anymore. All they want to
talk about now is how many people get
killed by guns, I guess to try to promote
gun control. But why dont they report
on how many millions and millions of
babies are getting killed each year by
abortion? A helluva lot more than by
guns, thats for sure.
Act on mental illness
BY RICH LOWRY
Last weeks article in the Phone Forum
about where was God at the shooting I
think is an excellent article. Its too bad
that we cant get that article to every
member in Congress. Whoever put that
in there is right on and I agree with
every word of that. Thank you.
NATIONAL REVIEW
Newtown is the latest locale in
America to become synonymous with
senseless slaughter. The shock and the
horror are so intense, it almost guarantees that Congress will act.
There will inevitably be an enormous
brouhaha around guns and ammunition,
leading to nothing likely
to prevent the next massacre. Democrats are
talking about a renewed
assault-weapon ban and
a prohibition on highcapacity magazines. But
Adam Lanza could have
killed just as indiscrimiLowry
nately with any semiautomatic gun, and if he didnt have a
high-capacity magazine, he could simply have reloaded with smaller magazines, something the Virginia Tech and
Columbine killers managed to do.
If we are going to have a rush to
action, it shouldnt be on guns. It should
be on mental illness. It doesnt make for
high political drama or emotional cable
chatter, but getting treatment for more
of the most seriously mentally ill might
actually prevent future shootings. Even
if it doesnt, it would improve the lives
of sick and vulnerable people.
We may never know what the dynamic was in the Lanza home. For too many
parents of the mentally ill, though, it
goes something like this: Their child
becomes withdrawn, delusional and
erratic. If they call the mental-health
system, they are told to bring the child
in for an appointment and the sick child
wont go. If the parents call the cops, the
cops show up and say the child doesnt
appear to represent a threat, and they
leave. If they take him to the hospital, he
is quickly released back to the parents
even if he is admitted. The choice might
become living with a deteriorating child
increasingly out of his mind or forcing him out of the home and into the
streets.
Yes, this is 21st-century America.
Where we have better means to treat
mental illness than ever before, but

choose to let the insane people decide to
get it or not. Where we supposedly deinstitutionalized the mentally ill by closing down psychiatric hospitals, and then
reinstitutionalized them behind bars.
About a third of homeless men and
two-thirds of homeless women are seriously mentally ill. Imagine the national
outrage if people with Alzheimers were
permitted to wander around the streets
uncared for. But, by some perverse logic,
its considered OK for schizophrenics.
The federal government can act on
this travesty only at the margins. It is
largely up to the states. They can make
a real difference by stopping the further
closure of public hospital psychiatric
beds and making it easier to compel
treatment. Civil-commitment laws that
require imminent danger to self or others are too strict. As DJ Jaffe of Mental
Illness Policy Org puts it, that standard
doesnt prevent violence, it requires violence in order to get care to someone too
irrational to realize that he needs it.
We dont know yet if Adam Lanza was
mentally ill, or if a better system would
have helped him. We do know that somewhere out there a young man is about
to get very sick. He could become the
next Jared Loughner or James Holmes
— unless someone gets him treatment.

Review.
The tragic school shootings in
Connecticut have stirred up all the
political hacks. Locally we have a dangerous situation at the shooting range
on Catalpa Street. County commissioners, city commissioners, sheriff and city
police have all been warned, but they
wont wake up until tragedy strikes.
I was listening to the scanner Thursday
morning after the snow storm and it
sounded like our local law enforcement
was pretty busy helping stranded motorists who slid off the road. Then someone
calls wanting an officer to investigate a
barking dog. Wow. Im sure it must have
been quite an emergency.

The Seekers Not Slackers
4-H Club held their monthly meeting on Dec. 9, at the
Winter weather driving
tips offered by patrol
With December underway
and winter officially beginning
December 21, KHP is sending
some reminders about traveling
in the winter weather. Every
year, whether it is the first winter storm of the season, or the
last storm, the Patrol and our
law enforcement partners from
across the state work numerous
traffic crashes related to the
weather.
Some of the most important
things to remember when traveling in adverse conditions are to
slow down, turn off your cruise
control, turn your headlights
on, and dress appropriately
for the conditions. It is Kansas
law that you must turn on your
headlights if your windshield
wipers are on continuously. By
turning off your cruise control,
you will have complete control
of your vehicles acceleration
during adverse conditions on
the roads.
As motorists venture out
during one of the first winter
storms of the season, the following tips are offered:
Prepare your vehicle for
winter travel by replacing
wiper blades; ensuring tires
have good tread and air pressure; and by checking the vehicles fluids, exhaust system, and
other mechanical equipment.
You also may want to consider
adding a shovel to your trunk,
weight such as sand bags in
the bed of a pickup (to help
with traction and control), and
carrying a sand/salt mixture
in your trunk to help melt the
snow and gain traction.
The vehicle should also be
stocked with items that would be
beneficial if you were involved
in a crash, or your vehicle
became stuck. Beneficial items
would be: bottled water, blankets, non-perishable food items,
a first aid kit, and a flashlight
with extra batteries.
You should try to keep your
gas tank full, as this adds additional weight for traction in
adverse conditions, and lessens
the possibility of running out
of fuel if you became stuck for
a long period of time.
Clean frost and snow off all
windows, mirrors, and lights,
and use your headlights to provide optimum visibility. Make
sure the entire window is clear.
Having only a small portion
cleared could contribute to a
crash if you dont see another
vehicle. You could also be ticketed.
Accelerate and brake gently,
and increase following distance
between you and other vehicles.
You should increase your following distance by at least one,
if not two, additional seconds
when driving in adverse conditions.

Around Town
The Christmas Spirit exists
in Colony! Five gals got together one morning-Paula Decker,
Sammye Strickler, Gerri
Godderz, Cathy Stephens
and Andrea Hermreck. They
baked several different cookie
recipes and distributed them
at various homes throughout
the town. What a wonderful
thing to do! They did not represent any club or organization
of any kind, just something
they got together and did to
show people they cared and
that Christmas most certainly
is a time of caring. Our world
has become so insensitive, not
a nice thing to happen. Then
Christmas Season arrives and

Did you know? Charles
Dickens A Christmas Carol
became an immediate sensation when it appeared in
bookstores in 1843. The novel
took just six weeks to pen and
remains so popular, its never
gone out of print!
We have been celebrating
Christmas for 2,000 years,
give or take. That makes it
our oldest holiday, 33 years
older than Easter! No other
holiday stops the world like
Christmas. Thats because its
more than a date on the calendar. Christmas is a feeling.
Merry Christmas to our

State leaders talk about drought
Santa Claus has evolved
The original Santa Claus,
St. Nicholas, was born in the
ancient southeastern Turkish
town of Lycia early in the
fourth century.
The Dutch, however, kept
the St. Nicholas tradition alive.
As the protector of sailors,
St. Nicholas graced the prow
of the first Dutch ship that
arrived in America. And the
first church built in New York
City was named after him.
The Dutch brought with
them to the New World two
Christmas items that were
quickly Americanized.
In 16th-century Holland,
children placed wooden shoes
by the hearth the night of St.
Nicholas arrival. The shoes
were filled with straw, a meal
for the saints give-laden donkey. In return, Nicholas would
insert a small treat into each
clog. In America, the limitedvolume shoe was replaced with
the expandable stocking, hung
by the chimney with expectations. Care would not come
until 1822.
The Dutch spelled St.
Nicholas Sint Nicolass,
which in the New World
became Sinterklass. When
the Dutch lost control of New
Amsterdam to the English in
the 17th Century, Sinterklass
was Anglicized to Santa Claus.

Contact (785) 448-6244
for local archeology information.
Much of modern-day Santa
Claus lore, including the reindeer-drawn sleigh, originated
in America, due to the popularity of a poem by a New York
theology professor.
Dr. Clement Clarke Moore
composed The Night Before
Christmas in 1822, to read to
his children on Christmas Eve.
The poem might have remained
privately in the Moore family if
a friend had not mailed a copy
of it (without authorial attribution) to a newspaper. It was
picked up by other papers, then
it appeared in magazines, until
eventually every line of the
poems imagery became part
of the Santa legend. Dr. Moore,
a classical scholar, for many
years felt that to acknowledge
having written a childs poem
might damage his professional
reputation; as a result, he did
not publicly admit authorship
TOPEKA Kansas Governor
Sam Brownback convened a
meeting Thursday of Kansas
leaders to discuss the persistent drought and the toll it is
continuing to take on Kansas.
Plans for 2013 were identified to
assist communities, businesses,
farmers and ranchers to help
cope with the decreasing water
supply and historic dry conditions.
The Governor asked all
Kansans to do their part and
take conservation seriously.
We cant predict the end
date of this drought, Governor
Brownback said. I am asking
all Kansans to please take steps
to reduce their water usage and
be conscious of fire hazards.
There have been examples of
communities cooperating to
respond to this drought, but we
need ALL Kansas communities
working together to conserve,
provide assistance and resources to reduce the damage of this
drought.
Kansas Adjutant General
until 1838, by which time just
about every child across the
country could recite the poem
by heart.
It was in America that Santa
put on weight. The original St.
Nicholas had been a tall, slender, elegant bishop, and that
was the image perpetuated for
centuries. The rosy-cheeked,
roly-poly Santa is credited to
the influential 19th century
cartoonist Thomas Nast. From
1863 until 1886, Nast created
a series of Christmas drawings for Harpers Weekly. These
drawings, executed over 20
years, exhibit a gradual evolution in Santa – from the pudgy,
diminutive, elf-like creature of
Dr. Moores immortal poem to
the bearded, potbellied, life-size
bell ringer familiar on street
corners across America today.
Nasts cartoons also showed
the world how Santa spent his
entire year – constructing toys,
checking on childrens behavior, reading their requests for
special gifts. His images were
all incorporated into the Santa
lore.
Our family and friends
are always in our hearts and
thoughts, especially this time
of year. Our wishes and prayers
are for you to have a Merry
Christmas and a wonderful
New Year. – Henry and Kay

that the speed limit be lowered
on north Maple Street. Large
trucks pose a hazard to other
motorists when they do not
slow down entering the city on
North Maple Street, the resident and business owner said.
Another street discussed was
Catalpa Street. Three citizens
asked commissioners to explain
the ordinance that considered
levying taxes for Catalpa Street
improvements. The landowners
were concerned about the cost
of the project and why they had
to pay for the improvements.
The $35,000 project will have 60
percent paid by landowners and
the remaining 40 percent will be
paid by the city.

others across the country who
basked in the glow of better
Christmas sales this year. Across
the country, many businesses
reported the highest Christmas
sales in three or four years.
But some local retailers said
they saw little change from last
years sales figures. Customers
seemed to be more relaxed and
more in the mood for buying
rather than just shopping, one
business owner said.
The Anderson County
Commission made no move concerning a decision on increasing landfill rates, as new information may allow the county to
charge less money than previously anticipated if the formula
is based on a yearly charge and
not a monthly fee. Originally,
the
commission
thought
Anderson County residents will
be paying $1.50 more per ton
for dumping their refuse at the
landfill. However, the commission found that two different
formulas could be used to figure the amount of money the
county would owe.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, December 25, 2012
Have you seen the salvation of God?
In Luke 2 we read the story
of Simeon. Simeon was a
righteous and devout man. It
had been revealed to him by
the Holy Spirit that he would
not die until he had seen the
Christ. The Holy Spirit had
moved Simeon to enter the temple courts at the same time that
Joseph and Mary were bringing
the Christ child for consecration to the Lord. In Luke 2:27-32
we read. Moved by the Spirit,
he (Simeon) went into the temple courts. When the parents
brought in the child Jesus to
do for him what the custom of
the law required, Simeon took
him in his arms and praised
God saying: Sovereign Lord,
as you have promised, you now
dismiss your servant in peace.
For my eyes have seen your
salvation, of all people, a light
for revelation to the Gentiles
and for glory to your people
Israel.
The text states that Simeon
praised God for he had seen the
salvation of God. This clearly
Weekly
Devotional
by David Bilderback
illustrates that salvation is a
person and not something
that you can do. Salvation
is a person and that person
is Jesus Christ. This is the
baby referred to in Isaiah 7:14.
Therefore the Lord himself
will give you a sign: The virgin
will be with child and will give
birth to a son, and will call him
Immanuel. Immanuel means
God with us.
This birth was the incarnation or the embodiment of God
in the human form of Jesus.
With this birth the era of Law
was ended and the age of grace
began. In 1st Corinthians 15:10;
Paul says But by the grace of
God I am what I am, and his
grace to me was not without

LOCAL
effect.
There are many scriptures
in the Bible which refer to
people not just visually seeing
Jesus but seeing him as the
Christ. Perhaps one of the best
is in Matthew 10:38-42 where
Jesus and his disciples stop at
Marthas home to rest.
We
read that Martha became distracted by all the preparations
that had to be made. Martha
had a sister named Mary and
believing she had completed
what was required of her sat
down at the Lords feet and was
listening to what he said. Each
of these women placed a different value on their service
to Jesus and provide us with
a good example of what Jesus
prefers.
The text says Martha came
to him (Jesus) and asked, Lord
dont you care that my sister
has left me to do the work by
myself ? Tell her to help me.
When we get caught up in a situation like this we often end up
as Martha did frustrated at the
Weldin, Stephens engaged
wrong person or thing. When
this happens we often do as
Martha did we attempt to transfer our inability to perform up
to required standards to someone else. Martha just visually
saw all these men who needed
a meal. She was looking right
at salvation but she couldnt
comprehend Jesus because she
was distracted.
On the other hand we read
Mary sat at the feet of Jesus
and listened to what he said.
Jesus in his loving way did
not condemn Martha he said,
Martha you are worried and
upset about many things, but
only one thing is needed. Mary
has chosen what is better, and
it will not be taken away from
her.
The question then becomes
have you or have you not seen
the salvation which is in the
sight of all the people?

Snow can provide benefits to wheat crop
MANHATTAN Much-anticipated snow this winter will
bring many benefits to the
struggling wheat crop, said Jim
Shroyer, K-State Research and
Extension crop production specialist. In many ways, snow will
be even more beneficial than
rain.
The benefits he outlined
include:
Moisture. Obviously, snow
brings much-needed moisture
to wheat fields. The general
rule is 10 inches of snow equals
1 inch of rain, although this
varies, depending on how fluffy
or heavy the snow is. One of the
benefits of getting moisture in
the form of snow is that nearly all the moisture will move
down into the soil and remain
there for quite some time. Since
the weather is cold, or at least
cool, after a snow, very little of
it will evaporate immediately.
Root development. Moisture
from snow will help increase
root growth of wheat. Even if
the top growth is dormant and
isnt growing during periods of
cold weather, roots will continue to grow if there is moisture.
Soil protection. Snow cover
does a great job in keeping
the soil from blowing. As long
as the ground is protected by
snow, soil particles on the surface cant be picked up by high
winds, thus preventing wind
erosion for a time.
Soil temperatures. Snow
has an insulating effect on the
soil, keeping very cold air tem-
peratures from reducing soil
temperatures and protecting
the crown of the wheat plant
from cold injury. Snow also
keeps soils warmer during the
winter by adding moisture to
the soil. It takes much longer
for wet soils to get cold than dry
soils.
The best way for a grower

Colds, germs: The facts and myths
KANSAS CITY, Kan.When it comes to
colds and germs, everybodys an expert
or at least thinks they are. As a pediatrician
at The University of Kansas Hospital, Dr.
Mike Lewis has heard all of the old wives
tales and myths about germs and colds and
has a look at some of the most common
misconceptions:
I only need to wash my hands when
they get dirty. Hand washing is the absolute
best way to keep cold and flu germs from
spreading. The right way to wash is to use
soap with clean running water, hot or cold,
rub your hands together to make a lather
and scrub them well; be sure to scrub the
backs of your hands, between your fingers,
and under your nails. Continue rubbing
your hands for at least 20 seconds. Need
a timer? Hum the Happy Birthday song
from beginning to end twice.
You can catch cold by being outside
without a coat. Multiple studies have prov-
en this false. The only way to catch a cold is
to be exposed to the virus.
Its OK to give cough and cold medicine to children. Not true. A study by the
American Academy of Pediatrics shows
children may do worse with these medications, especially if theyre under six years
old.
Taking Vitamin C or Zinc helps treat
colds. Studies have shown a normal vitamin C dose of 200 mg a day has no effect
on treating colds or reducing their severity.
Also, theres no clear-cut evidence that zinc
helps. Benefits might be from the placebo
effect, but more research is needed. There
is some limited evidence that Echinacea
can help prevent a cold and relieve it sooner.
You cant give your child ibuprofen and
acetaminophen at the same time. False.
Both work in very different ways. While
its safe to give both at the same time, keep

Greeley students celebrate holidays
To celebrate the spirit of the holiday
season students and staff at Greeley
Elementary have participated in several
wonderful activities.
On December 12th they brought
Christmas cheer to the Senior Citizens
meeting by singing many traditional
songs.
On Dec. 13th and 14th they enjoyed the
annual Christmas Store, sponsored by the
PTO. During this most anticipated event,
students are able to shop the wide variety
of items for a gift for their family members.
The following week, non-perishable items
were boxed up and delivered to a local
Greeley resident in the hopes of making
their dollars go a little further near the
holidays.
Finally, the fifth and sixth graders
graduated from the D.A.R.E. program. The
program focuses on teaching youth about
the negative effects of drugs, alcohol and
smoking. At the conclusion of the program each student writes an essay telling
what they have learned. Two winners were
chosen and everyone received a t-shirt and
certificate.
