A hold on
the hikes
Garnett commissioners
give gift of no gas, trash
rate hikes due to surplus
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A cash surplus in city
coffers may protect Garnett city
utility customers from a gas rate
increase, at least
temporarily.
The
topic
may come up
for conversation
again at tomorrows
rescheduled Garnett City
Commission meeting.
Weiner
City manager
Chris Weiner told
commissioners earlier this month
that a number of vacant city positions and what he termed solid
efforts at watching pennies by his
department heads had produced
some $1.5 million more in year-end
funds this year than last. Positions
in both city hall and on the Garnett
Police Department have remained
unfilled at various times throughout
the year.
Weiner said some
of the overage was planned reserves,
such as about $175,000 the city is
holding in reserve in the event it has
to refund East Kansas Agri Energy if
the company wins its ongoing property tax appeal, but most of it is
just due to our staff doing their due
diligence to being frugal.
That information came up a number of times at the Dec. 11 meeting,
particularly in regard to Weiners
proposal to raise city gas rates in the
face of a recent spike in natural gas
rates the city pays in its gas utility.
Weiner said early mid-November to
early December prices for natural
gas had jumped to nearly $5 per
unit from the present average the
city was paying of $2.50. Weiner said
stored gas reserves right now nationwide were lower that the five-year
average, and that reduced supply
had meant higher recent prices.
But the flush financial report
made city commissioners hesitant
to implement a gas rate increase or
to move toward a rate hike for trash
service, another area Weiner said
present expenses exceed revenues.
Weiner said the department had
tried reducing staff to three workers
instead of the usual four, but that
configuration hadnt worked and the
department had moved back to four
crewmen. Additionally, there had
been recent expenditures for repairs
on the citys trash hauler.
Commissioner Greg Gwin said
he couldnt justify the increases in
trash rates with the present city surpluses.
Were way over our safety
reserves in that department, Gwin
said. We have 22 percent of our budget to go and only a few weeks left in
the year.
Commissioners in April approved
water rate increases in the city
which will take rates up a total of
some 49 percent over two years, producing revenue the city estimates it
will need to start construction and
begin the bond payoff on a new $13
million water treatment facility.

Diggin history
Class project educates
group about back muscles
and life in the trenches
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT An extra credit project
for an Anderson County High School
history class taught a group of ACHS
students a lesson about the rigors of
life on the front lines of World War I
a century ago a shovel full at a time.
Logan Pegrams history class was
studying a section on the first world
war and the trench warfare that
immobilized hundreds of thousands of
troops on both sides, primarily in the
area of northern France and Belgium.
The region saw German troops and
British, French and later U.S. troops
stalemated for months at a time.
Trench life and its perils are one of the
enduring images of the war.
One of the options we could do
for this project was to learn about
trenches, said ACHS junior Nick
Lybarger, so I got the bright idea that
we could dig a trench. I dont think he
(Pegram) actually believed wed do
it. The group chronicled the project
with a time lapse video they posted on
Youtube.
The project trench is two sections
joined at a 90 degree angle, both 12 feet
long, about 3 feet wide and 4 feet
deep not an extensive interlocking
network as deep as 16 feet with support
trenches behind the frontline fighting
area like the ones used in France but
enough to illustrate the point. The
only casualty with the project was sore
muscles the crew dug their trench by
hand to get a taste of the WWI soldiers
experience.
We scaled ours down a lot, said
junior Russ Peterson. Even so, the
trench floor touched the high water
table in the draw on that portion of
Nicks parents property.
The taste of water in the trench may
have been the most telling illustration
to the class. Standing water in WWI
trenches caused monumental health
issues for soldiers with trench foot and
other diseases, not to mention general
discomfort.
That was one thing with getting to
the water table, said Micah LeBlanc,
if your feet get muddy you think,
well its okay, Im wearing boots, but
then the water comes through your
boots.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The first half of 2018 in Anderson
County it would hardly rain. The second half it
seemed to rarely stop.
That allornothing precipitation pattern
amounted to one of the most prominent impacts on local life for 2018
whether you were a farmer, a fisherman or a race car enthusiast,
and it topped the rest of the news
in the area for most residents all
year.
Winter of 2017 brought no
major precipitation or accumulated snowfall, so 2018 started off
dry from the beginning. Grass
fires plagued the area in February
and March. One March week saw
county firefighters respond to 12 fires. Low
humidity and cold weather combined to dry
local grass to a tinderbox, and farmers itching
to get to their fields and burn pasture were
literally playing with fire.
By April the area was at nearly a 30 percent
deficit in rainfall for the year compared to the
same period for 2017. The low humidity meant
temperatures varied widely across Kansas
sometimes within just a few hours depending
on cloud cover. On one particular Thursday, a
rain-rescheduled track meet for ACHS athletes
in Basehor hit 70 degrees, while 22 miles away
a make-up baseball game for the Bulldogs
saw only 43 in Eudora. In the same week in
Drought-stressed corn was worse near Richmond, northern Anderson County.
At first, no rain;
then, nothing but

Deer menaced drivers,
targeted uncanny number
of local motorcyclists
GARNETT The biggest
threat to life and property
for local residents in 2018
wasnt storms or terrorists or
hoards of illegal immigrants
marching on the countrys
southern border
It was deer.
Local figures for deer hits
in Anderson County arent
totaled yet for 2018, but watching weekly accident reports
in the Review as well as carcasses and splatter marks on
area roads and highways, it
was clear 2018 deer impacts
probably werent any less
than any other year. What
seemed different about 2018
was the degree to which deer
seemed to be targeting area
motorcyclists.
Local riders were hurt in
at least three separate deer/
motorcycle collisions over
the course of the year.
In July 66 year-old Charles
Nixon of rural Garnett was
severely injured near Selma
when he struck a deer on
his bike on Wabaunsee Road
north of 500 Road. Nixon
was wearing a helmet but
has lacerations to his arms

DEER…
FROM PAGE 1
so bad emergency responders
thought he was at risk of bleeding to death before he could be
transported.
In August Bill and Diane
Wilper of Westphalia were riding their motorcycle near U.S.
169 near Osawatomie when
they struck a deer and received
extensive injuries including
multiple broken bones and ribcage injuries that required surgery. Another local man riding
behind them, Bob Palmer of
Garnett, was hurt when he ran
into the Wilper wreck field.
Also that month, Garnett
electric department head Troy
Hart was riding near Goodrich
when a deer bolted in front of
his Honda road bike, costing
him 10 broken ribs, a broken
collar bone and broken scapula. Hart credited his helmet
with saving his life, and its battered shell is now on display
at the Paola American Legion
Post as an example to riders
who are nonchalant about
wearing helmets and protective gear.
Statistics say 70 percent
of deer collision fatalities
nationwide are motorcyclists.
According to the Kansas
Department of Transportation,
10,226 (17 percent) of the 58,834
vehicle crashes reported in
2017 were deer-related (crashes
in which a deer and vehicle
actually collided or the presence of a deer was a contributing circumstance). Crashes
involving deer occur in every
part of the state throughout the
year. In 2017, Butler County
had 438 vehicle-deer crashes,
the most of any county, while
Sedgwick County followed
with 385 vehicle-deer crashes.
In addition to potentially
causing human injuries and
loss of life, deer collisions
often cause significant vehicle
damage that can lead to large
expenses for the vehicle owner
if not properly insured, said
Jennifer Haugh, Public and
Government Affairs Manager
for AAA Kansas. Of the animal strikes reported by AAA
Insurance policy holders in
2017, the average cost per claim
was more than $4,500.

A Christmas poem
Hello dear friends, Kay and
I hope you, your family and
your friends had a wonderful
Thanksgiving.
As we begin the most beautiful season of the year, there
is something we would like to
share with you today. This
little poem is one that serves
to remind us of the real meaning of Christmas. Perhaps you
have read it before and if so,
we hope you will enjoy it again.
If you look for me at
Christmas,
you wont need a special star.
Im no longer just in Bethlehem,
Im right there where you are.
You may not be aware of me
amid the celebrations
Youll have to look beyond the
stores
and all the decorations.
But if you take a moment,
from your list of things to do.
And listen to your heart,
youll find Im waiting there
for you.
Youre the one I want to be

cattle. The month started with
the county showing a 6 inch
deficit from average rainfall of
15.57 inches about 40 percent
off normal for the year.
But the tap began to turn in
July with a little more rain falling enough to provide some
hope in spots for the countys
corn crop. Withered fields,
just a few miles from healthier
ones, showed the spotty nature
of those spare summer rains,
and a portion of territory north
of Richmond seemed to get
no relief at all with acres and
acres of corn ruined just off
U.S. Highway 59.
Then double the average
rainfall of 4 inches fell in
August. By September and
October, drowning would be
more a threat to the soybean
crop than dehydration. Heavy
rains measuring almost 7 inch-
es October 6-8 swelled local
creeks and muddied fields, and
soaked the ground so much
the Lake Garnett Grand Prix
Revival had to be rescheduled
to November. Another three
inches would fall by mid week.
All told, those rains combined with July, August and
September precip to total 32
inches of rain since July 1.
Now, the threat to the soybean crop was a slowing in
growth because of too much
moisture and the possibility flooded beans might fall to
disease or saturated, swollen
pods.
Drier weather came for
the most part in time to salvage most of the bean crop.
As December drew to a close
we were about 7 inches shy of
annual average moisture.
In the 4th chapter of Galatians
we read, But when the time had
fully come, God sent his Son,
born of a woman, born under the
law, to redeem those under law,
that we might receive the full
rights of sons. (Galatians 4:4-5)
God does everything according
to his time which is not time
measured by a clock or calendar. In Luke 1:26-45 we see the
birth of Jesus foretold. We read
that God sent the angel Gabriel
to Nazareth to a virgin named
Mary who God had designated
to give birth to the Christ child.
Mary was pledged to be married
to a man named Joseph. God
also sent the angel of the Lord to
Joseph to assure him that Mary
was a part of a plan by God to
save his people from their sins.
All this took place to fulfill what
the prophet Isaiah had foretold
700 years earlier in Isaiah 7:14. In
Luke chapter 2 we see the birth
of Jesus. God sets in motion a
series of events that climax in the
birth of the Savior.
In order for the birth of Jesus
to occur in Bethlehem, which
was prophesied by the prophet
Micah, a census is decreed by
Caesar Augustus which requires
Joseph to go to Bethlehem which
was his hometown to register
himself and Mary. So Mary and
Joseph made the 70 mile journey from Nazareth in Galilee to
Judea to Bethlehem. Due to the
length of the journey and the
number of people in Bethlehem
Joseph would find no room in the
inn so Jesus was born in a stable.
We are told there were shep-

and since shepherds were social

birth in a stable seems to fit well
in Gods plan.
In Galatians the phrase in the
fullness of time is stated. This
means that the time had come
for the realization of Gods plan.
After the birth, life and death
and accession of Jesus there
remains one thing to be realized
for the total consummation of
Gods plan. In 1st Thessalonians
4:16-17, the return of Christ is
presented. The Apostle Paul
says, For the Lord himself will
descend from heaven with a cry
of command, with the voice of the
archangel, and with the sound of
the trumpet of God. And the dead
in Christ will rise first. Paul
goes on to say those alive will be
caught up together with them in
the clouds and we will always be
with the Lord. Christmas should
always leave us in a state of forward expectation of the return of
Christ.
Ministry on the Holiness of God.

OPINION
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, December 25, 2018
The story of the birth of Christ
As told in the book of Luke
1.In those days Caesar Augustus issued a
decree that a census should be taken of the
entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first
census that took place while[a] Quirinius was
governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to
their own town to register.
4 So Joseph also went up from the town of
Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the
town of David, because
he belonged to the house
and line of David. 5 He
went there to register
with Mary, who was
pledged to be married to
him and was expecting a
child. 6 While they were
there, the time came
for the baby to be born,
7 and she gave birth to
her firstborn, a son. She
wrapped him in cloths
and placed him in a
manger, because there
was no guest room available for them.
8 And there were
shepherds living out
in the fields nearby,
keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An
angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the
glory of the Lord shone around them, and they
were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them,
Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that
will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today
in the town of David a Savior has been born to
you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will
be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped
in cloths and lying in a manger.
13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God
and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his
favor rests.
15 When the angels had left them and gone
into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, Lets go to Bethlehem and see this thing
that has happened, which the Lord has told us
about.
16 So they hurried off and found Mary and
Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the
manger. 17 When they had seen him, they
spread the word concerning what had been
told them about this child, 18 and all who
heard it were amazed at what the shepherds
said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all
these things and pondered them in her heart.
20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and
praising God for all the things they had heard
and seen, which were just
as they had been told.
21 On the eighth
day, when it was time to
circumcise the child, he
was named Jesus, the name
the angel had given him
before he was conceived.
Jesus Presented in the
Temple
22 When the time
came for the purification
rites required by the Law
of Moses, Joseph and Mary
took him to Jerusalem to
present him to the Lord
23 (as it is written in the
Law of the Lord, Every
firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord[b]), 24
and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is
said in the Law of the Lord: a pair of doves or
two young pigeons.[c]
25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem
called Simeon, who was righteous and devout.
He was waiting for the consolation of Israel,
and the Holy Spirit was on him. 26 It had been
revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he
would not die before he had seen the Lords
Messiah. 27 Moved by the Spirit, he went into
the temple courts. When the parents brought
in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, 28 Simeon took him
in his arms and praised God, saying:
29 Sovereign Lord, as you have promised,
you may now dismiss[d] your servant in
peace.
30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 which you have prepared in the sight of all
nations:
32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and
the glory of your people Israel.
Global Climate Action Summit silent on gas
By Drew Johnson
This fall, business leaders, government officials, and environmental activists from around
the world gathered in San Francisco for the
Global Climate Action Summit. Event organizers said they want to bend the curve of emissions down.
If they truly want to accomplish that goal,
they ought to end the summit early and go drill
for more natural gas. The natural gas sector has
done far more than any environmentalist group
or government to slash carbon emissions.
Thanks to rising natural gas production, the
United States cut its carbon emissions last year
by about half a percentage point, the biggest drop
of any country. This marks the third consecutive
year of declines for the United States and the
ninth time in the 21st century that America has
led the world in emissions reductions.
The advent of hydraulic fracturing — commonly called fracking — has enabled energy
producers to tap huge natural gas reserves that
Abortion debate raised in new state telemedicine law
Theres one of those tough womens rights
issues going on now, one that may have an
effect on the health care of thousands of rural
Kansans. Theres an abortion aspect to it that
further complicates the issue.
The court fight is over a provision of the
new Kansas Telemedicine Act, which will, if
it stands, enable Kansans in areas without
handy hospitals or access to medical specialists who work in far-away or out-of-state medical centers to be treated over visual internet
hookups. Like those you see on TV ads, where
the grandparents and children look at and talk
to each other.
That Telemedicine Act is seen as a potential life-saver for some Kansans who cant get
to a big city hospitals specialized treatments
or emergency diagnoses.
That remote telemedicine physician may
be able to diagnose an illness that the local
health-care provider doesnt have the specialized training to recognize. That happens in
real life.
Well, the whole telemedicine bill passed
by last years Legislature was generally liked
by the Legislature. The Senate passed the bill
32-6, the House 107-13 on the same day last
spring, and the governorthats Gov. Dr. Jeff
Colyersigned it into law.
Sounded good, except that the measure
turned out to be a vehicle for a scrap over
abortion. Of course.
Heres the key:
The bill says that nothing in the Kansas
telemedicine act shall be construed to authorize the delivery of any abortion procedure
via telemedicine.
STATE COMMENTARY
MARTIN HAWVER, At The Rail
The Center for Reproductive Rights, on
behalf of the Trust Women Foundation of
Wichita, has challenged that provision of the
new law, asserting that it puts women, and
rural women, at a disadvantage. The group
wants the anti-telemedicine abortion language to be rejected, or nullified.
But it gets more complicated, a lot more
complicated. Antiabortion lobbyists fought to
get a so-called nonseverability provision in
the bill, and succeeded. That narrowly targeted provision says if any specific part of the bill
is found to be invalid or unconstitutional by
a court, the rest of the act is untouched, still
law.
Except for that provision dealing with
not authorizing any abortion procedure via
telemedicine. If that not authorizing section is struck down by a court, then the whole
telemedicine act is voided.
`That puts pro-choice challenges such as
the one being considered now in the position
of win and telemedicine loses, lose and the
rest of telemedicine with its social and geographic support will start quickly.
That telemedicine abortion is basically
using the telemedicine interview and health
records check to determine whether a woman
can obtain a couple pills that cause an abortion without the need for physical presence of
a physician.
Those pills, called abortifacients, are pretty
safe and dont require hands-on doctor-patient
interaction. Thats why they are used in a
large percentage of first-trimester abortions.
This comes down hard. For those who
oppose abortion it means that a decision
rejecting the Trust Women lawsuit to allow
women more decision on their health keeps
telemedicine on track. A victory for those who
see the issue as one of womens rights: a win
could kill telemedicine in Kansas.
Whatever the decision in the Shawnee
County Courthouse, count on an appeal of
the ruling and an effort by both pro-choice
and antiabortion forces to fight it out in the
Legislature next session. Thats a fight that
lawmakers dont want to have this year when
it will undoubtedly stretch into next year, and
the upcoming legislative elections.

Britain is suffering a political meltdown as
it struggles to make good on a historic vote in
2016 to leave the European Union. The decision for a so-called Brexit was a stirring statement of independence and self-government by
a people who have defined themselves down
the centuries by their stiff-necked resistance
to anyone — whether overweening monarchs
or continental tyrants — who would threaten
either.
That was before London ran up against the
bureaucracy of the would-be European superstate based in Brussels, and before it was led, if
thats the right word, by Tory Prime Minister
Theresa May.
Presiding
over a divided
party, facing
a pro-Remain
British establishment and
negotiating
with a hostile
EU, May never had an easy task. She has nonetheless not only failed to rise to the occasion
but been crushed by it.
She has negotiated abysmally, giving away
leverage right at the start when she prematurely invoked Article 50, beginning the process of Britains departure with no realistic

fallback plan if talks with the EU failed. She
ended up with an agreement that would effectively leave Britain within most EU rules,
with no means of
influencing them
anymore.
The
London Spectator
calls the deal
Remain-minus.
The larger question is whether
once the EU has
its hooks in a
nation-state, will it ever relinquish it? Its
officials have treated the Brexit negotiations
as an opportunity to teach anyone hoping to
follow Britain out of the EU a lesson: Dont
dare try to take back the full measure of your
sovereignty, lest we make it as miserable for

you as possible. This is the Brezhnev doctrine
for Eurocrats.
When in the past countries in Europe have
voted the wrong way on fundamental
EU questions, as Ireland, France and the
Netherlands did over the years, they were
ignored or made to vote again until they
got the right answer. Britain may yet suffer
the same pitiful fate. The European Court of
Justice just helpfully ruled that Britain can
withdraw its Article 50 notification — in other
words, forget this whole unpleasant Brexit
vote happened.
Thats been the hope of many Remainers in
Britain all along, but the case for the EU hasnt
gotten any stronger over the past two years.
What does it say about the European project
that exit is almost impossible? And if Britain
is a political shambles, its not as though the
most committed advocates of the EU are doing
any better. Given the yellow vest protests
ignited by his idiotic (since delayed) fuel tax,
French President Emmanuel Macron cant
even control the streets of Paris on weekends.
Mays strategy seems to be to ride the current
impasse as close to the March 29 Brexit deadline as possible, and force the adoption of her
lamentable deal for lack of any alternative. In
which case, to return to Shakespeare, That

were previously inaccessible. When drillers frack
a well, they pump a high-pressure mix of water
and sand into underground rock formations to
free the embedded gas. Fracking has driven a 46
percent increase in domestic gas production over
the last decade. Today, the United States pumps
out 80 billion cubic feet of gas every day, an alltime high.
The rapid expansion in natural gas supply has
driven down its price, inducing power plants to
switch over from coal to gas.
This transition has yielded enormous environmental benefits: natural gas releases about 50 percent less carbon than coal. Power plants carbon
dioxide emissions have dropped 25 percent since
2005.
Today, Americas energy-related carbon emissions are at a 25-year low.
The natural gas boom is driving down emissions of other pollutants as well, according to the
Environmental Protection Agencys most recent
report on air quality. Between 1990 and 2017,
sulfur dioxide emissions dropped 88 percent and
nitrogen dioxide emissions dropped 56 percent.
Those stats are all the more impressive considering that Americans increased the number of
miles they drove and amount of energy they used
over this period.
Summit organizers also say they want to put
the globe on track to prevent dangerous climate
change and realize the historic Paris Agreement.
Initiated to great fanfare by the Obama administration, the agreement committed America and
our European partners to modest carbon reductions over the next few decades. When President
Trump withdrew from the Paris Agreement last
year, green activists howled.
Thanks to natural gas, America is on track to
hit the Paris Agreements targets despite the withdrawal. As Erik Solheim, the executive director
of the United Nations Environment Programme,
recently remarked: In all likelihood, the United
States of America will live up to its Paris commitment, not because of the White House, but because
of the private sector.
And what of the Summits favorite energy
source — renewables? In recent decades, the federal government actively cultivated renewables,
doling out huge subsidies to solar, wind, and other
fashionable green technologies.
Despite billions in taxpayer handouts, renewables only account for a small share of the overall
reduction in admissions. The electricity sectors
transition to natural gas is mainly responsible
for recent carbon reductions, according to the U.S.
Energy Information Administration.
The United States is the worldwide leader in
emissions reductions thanks to fracking. If attendees at the Global Climate Action Summit refuse to
acknowledge this basic fact, it will show theyre
more interested in virtue signaling than actually
combatting climate change.

The American girl has been

some light on the situation.
Theres no doubt about it.
American men do like French
girls. But when you find how
glad men back from the front
or from camps in small French
villages are to meet a girl from
America, it makes you feel that
it would be a great mistake for
the girls at home to waste time
worrying about the charms of
their French sisters.

Lady Lancers 2nd half
struggles lead to loss
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY – In their last game
before the holiday break, the
Crest Lancers fell at home to St.
Paul, 52-30.
For a half, the game was
much closer than the final
score indicated. Early on the
Lady Lancers trailed 13-8 after
the first quarter and cut into
the lead slightly heading into
intermission facing a 23-19 deficit.
Crest would struggle to
find the answers in the second
half though. St. Paul tacked 8
points onto the lead in the third
quarter before outpacing the
Lancers 14-4 in the fourth to
win going away.
Rachel Godderz led the
Lancers with 11 points and 7
rebounds and Laurel Godderz
added 10 points to be the only
other Lancer in double figures.

FREDONIA – When the
Anderson County Bulldogs
are firing on all cylinders,
they are a tough team to
stop. Just ask the Fredonia
Yellowjackets their thoughts
following an 84-40 defeat at
home on Tuesday night.
The pace was frantic early
as ACHS scored 28 points in
the first quarter en route to 49
first half points.
Carson Powelson led the
first quarter explosion with
16 points in the period, courtesy of 4 three-pointers in the
period.
Powelson would tack on 9
more in the second quarter
with two more three-pointers
added to his total. He would
score just two points in the
second half after his huge
first half.
Fredonia would slightly have the upper hand in
the third quarter before the
Bulldogs stepped up on both
ends of the floor in the fourth
quarter, outscoring Fredonia
19-2.
On the night, the Bulldogs
drained 7 three-pointers and
were a perfect 13-13 from the
free-throw line.

Christian Church
Larry Wittmer gave the
Communion Meditation on
Gods will for our life Dec .
16, with the reminder that
Jesus instructs us to become
more like little children. In 1
Thessalonians 5, Paul tells us
what to do with our life as a
Christian. Some of these are
to honor those who are leaders
in the Lords work, live peaceably with each other, always
be joyful, never stop praying,
do not stifle the Holy Spirit,
etc. Pastor Chase Riebel gave
the sermon on the Good News
that brings great Joy!. Joy is
a feeling of the prospect of possessing what one desires. We
are joyful that Christ lives in
all of us, and comforts us. Will
you be filled with joy, or filled
with terror when Christ comes
back? (Ref: Luke 2:8-18, Isaiah
49, Luke 3:7, Luke 10, Matthew
10:16 and 9:10, Hebrews 11:6,
Colossians 3:1, John 15:10-13,

(First Published in the Anderson County
Review on December 18, 2018)
Winter weather in Kansas
appeared earlier than usual this
year with the Thanksgiving
weekend blizzard throughout
much of the state. People were
caught on the roads, halted at
shelters and generally snowed
in for a couple of days.
Even though we are behind
in the pitch count, so to speak,
regarding our Kansas weather
preparations, we at the Kansas
Insurance Department have
some timely considerations
that will help you prepare for
your next winter storm event.
Weve broken them down into
three areas: vehicle insurance,
vehicle maintenance and family protection.
First, here are our five
important vehicle insurance
tips:
Confirm your insurance is
active and premiums are paid.
Have a current copy of your
insurance card in your vehicle
or with you.
Select liability limits that
are right for your financial circumstances. If you find yourself
at-fault in an accident and have
insufficient liability coverages,
your personal assets are at risk
for paying the remaining financial obligation.
If you rent a vehicle for a
trip, check with your insurance agent to see if your policy
includes coverage. Also, make
sure you dont duplicate benefits from your own policy if
you decide to get rental insurance. A quick call to your agent
should help determine that.
Verify that your homeowners or renters insurance covers the theft of personal items
from your vehicle, especially if
you are planning to haul more
expensive items. Many people
believe that vehicle insurance
covers replacement of stolen
items from their vehicles, but
that usually is not the case.
Know if your policy
includes roadside assistance,
such as towing, fuel delivery,
lockout service and jumpstarts.
Second, we have some useful
tips for trip preparation:
Have a fully-charged cell
phone and pack your vehicle
phone-charging units for your
car and standard electrical outlets.
Make sure you have an
emergency kit for long trips.
Include a first-aid kit, batteries, flashlights, drinking water,
snacks, jumper cables, ice
scrapers, tissues and towels,
a tow rope, extra clothing and
blankets.
Check your battery and
your tires.
Keep your gas tank at least
half-full all the time.
Check or replace your wipers. Nothing can be as dangerous or as aggravating as
having faulty wipers during
bad weather.
Make sure your prescriptions are adequate.
Finally, and maybe most
importantly, family insurance
needs should be a part of your
winter preparations as well.
Our top considerations for family discussions about insurance
matters include the following:
Make sure, for those young
and old, that important insurance and legal papers are in
a secure place that more than
one person knows about.
Assess personal insurance
needs for yourself and your
INSURANCE MATTERS

MOBILE HOMES

family. Needs for an older
adult, for example, could be
much different from those of a
child or grandchild.
Make sure you know what
health insurance coverage you
and your family have. What are
your deductibles and co-pays?
What preventive services are
now covered? What providers
are in your coverage network?
Will you be covered away from
home?
Plan your expenses for
insurance premiums. Chart
your premiums and their due
dates on a 2019 calendar.
In this season of giving,
be sure you know the recipients of your financial gifts.
Unfortunately, scams abound
during this time of year, and
the spirit of the season is often
the reason that people get
taken.
Although we cant always
predict exact winter weather
patterns, we can be prepared
for any driving and winter
event with a little planning.
Heres hoping the holidays and
winter season will find you
comfortable with your insurance knowledge and preparations.

Garnett Community,
It has been nothing short of a
miracle, the love and efforts that
this community has put forward for me
and my family, not just now at the
time of Valeries passing, but throughout
her health issues and ever since coming
to Garnett. Words could never express
what that has meant for us, and
continues to mean for us, as we strive
to deal with losing her. Again,
thank you so very much.
