City manager broaches Land Bank idea to sell properties
GARNETT City commissioners may consider the formation
of a Land Bank organization
which would streamline the
sale and redemption of delinquent properties to the paying
tax rolls and exempt the city
from paying property taxes on
some properties for which it is
now responsible.
City manager Chris Weiner
broached the topic to commis-
sioners at a recent city commission meeting in the context of a
request from a city resident to
purchase a lot the city fell heir
to after a dilapidated house on
the property was razed at city
expense years ago.
Typical procedure for the
sale of city property is to advertise it for bids, but Weiner said
a Land Bank, established under
Kansas law for cities or coun-
ties, makes it easier and faster
to sell distressed real estate and
put it back on the tax rolls faster.
Although municipal property is exempt from ad valorem
property taxes, real property
held by the city but not in public use is taxed at regular rates
and the bill sent to the city.
Anderson County Treasurer
Dena McDaniel said Garnett
presently pays taxes on four
properties, each less than $100
per year.
The legislation allows a
Land Bank to be exempt from
paying those taxes as well as
any accrued property taxes,
interest or penalties, except for
special assessments to pay for
improvement, once it buys or
otherwise comes into ownership of a distressed property.
Weiner briefly outlined the
formation of the Land Bank
to commissioners, saying the
organization could be headed by a board of independent
appointees or by members
of the commission itself, but
Weiner said it was important to
note that the board once formed
was not subject to the authority
of the city commission.
State statutes defining the
formation of Land Banks also
stipulate that the organizations meetings and its financial and other records are subject to state open meetings and
open records laws, and places
all such records and conduct
subject to public inspection.
Those statutes also define
record keeping and annual

December weather funky,
but not so far off normal
December weather
not really so far off
normal, expert says
BY MELISSA HOBBS ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA With Christmas
just in the bag and the New
Year coming, some people
are wondering what has happened to the weather this
month; but Kansas State
Climatologist Mary Knapp
says the weather hasnt been
as far off from normal as
many people believe.
Knapp says that the temperatures havent been as
mild as people might think.
To date, the average temperature for the month has been
a mere 39.5 degrees, and the
average each year is only 34.6
degrees. That makes the temperature a little warmer than
average, but less than five
degrees a figure that is hard
to believe when some locals
have had their windows open
on a few scattered 60 degree
days.
The average temperature
for the entire year has been
58.3 degrees and the yearly
norm is 56.4 degrees.
Some days have been
slightly cooler, or slightly warmer than normal for
those days, said Knapp, But
in general were just slightly
warmer than normal, but not
by much.
Knapp said what might be
interesting is an upcoming
pattern change. Coming up
around December 21-27, she
says there is a very strong
chance that we will see colder than normal temperatures,
but the models arent showing exactly how much colder
that will be.
That same week theyre
also calling for an above
normal chance for moisture.
Knapp says one storm dropping even a half an inch of
snow could put us above norSEE WEATHER ON PAGE 6A

BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT One thing stands out overall as
we look back over 2017 in Anderson County it
was a strong year for tragedy in our communities.
There were positive happenings of course;
a bumper corn and soybean crop, school athletic accomplishments, successful local events
and individual milestones like the award of
the French Legion of Honor medal to former
Welda resident Bill Brecheisen for his service
in WWII.
But unfortunately what rung loudest in 2017
across too many local spectrums was the sound
of grief, and most of it was for the pain and loss
of the young.
It began with a warning of sorts when three
teens were severely injured in a four-wheeler accident in February. Then it came on in
deadly fashion with another mishap involving
an ATV ride near Lane that injured and subsequently killed 23 year-old Brittney Feuerborn,
a former Greeley resident now living and
working in Pittsburg.
Two days later searchers found the body of
24 year-old Tyler Gibson, another ACHS graduate, who after a police chase in a stolen vehicle

GARNETT Far-reaching
stories from any year are
those which have a genesis in one year with implications that shape news
and events in a community possibly for years to
come.

with their own revenue
on April 5 leaped from the Belvue River Bridge
into the rain swollen Kansas River. His body
was recovered by searchers 12 days later about
a mile downstream.
As spring turned into summer there was
more heartbreak. In June, after a night at a
local bar, 22 year-old Clay Yoder attempts to
walk from Garnett home to Mont Ida when
he is run over and killed by Jason Wilson
and Ashley Hobbs, who flee the scene. Yoder
is found by his mother, whos out looking for
him. Wilson and Hobbs are later apprehended,
charged and sentenced. But the tragedy doesnt
end with the loss of the young man. His uncle,
52 year-old Troy McDaniel of Welda, heading
home from work to attend a fund raiser for
the Yoder family in Garnett, dies from injuries
after hes involved in a highway crash on U.S.
169 northeast of Greeley.
July brings more darkness when Andrew
Holstine swings a vehicle into a parking stall
at Sandras Quick Stop south of Garnett on
the 4th of July and smashes into a sidewalk
bench where 75 year-old Lloyd Sutton is sitting
talking to another man. Sutton later succumbs
from his injuries. Holstine flees the scene and
is later charged with involuntary manslaughter, impaired driving and drug offenses.
Two additional families reap heartache in
September when 42 year-old motorcyclist Flint
Macklin cant avoid a vehicle pulling into the
highway and crashes his bike into a car driven

Laiter incident will follow department,
county as fallout develops from prosecution
GARNETT The instance of former county jailer
Lex Laiter, accused this year in sexual incidents
with county jail inmates, is another of 2017s occurrences which will impact Anderson County for an
untold term.
The exuberance with which the Kansas Bureau
of Investigation pursues prosecutions against bad
seeds within the law enforcement community is
well known. The KBI wasted no time in publicizing Laiters arrest, and a probable cause affidavit
obtained by the Review contained almost no redactions from either prosecutors or defense lawyers
a true rarity in the release of those public records.
But that approach is understandable. If law
enforcement hopes to maintain its reputation for
trust, it has to be squeaky clean and by the book,
and certainly at the level of the jail officers who
hold sway over people the system has incarcerated
and in so doing rendered vulnerable. Not only does
the incident besmirch Anderson Countys reputation the county derives revenue by renting beds
to surrounding counties, after all it may well have
repercussions for sheriff Vern Valentine, on whose
watch as head of the county jail,
the incidents allegedly occurred.
So too could it affect
county government in general
and its liability insurer if any of
those alleged victims opt to sue
individually or in a class action
for damages from violations of
their rights. That impact could
affect the countys liability preLaiter miums and hence the taxpayers
who pay them for years to come.
If nothing else, the
Laiter incident illustrates the terrible importance
for local government officials to ensure their hires
are quality individuals whose actions will benefit
and speak well for the public in the jobs they do.

and gasoline for the shop in 2018.
The bids for a new motor grader will
be opened at the next meeting. Lester
got a quote for a new 10-wheeler
truck. He asked to purchase the truck
from Westfall GMC. He was able to
get the MODOT contracted price of
$158,772 for a 2019 Mack Granite
truck. Commissioner McGhee moved
and Commissioner Pracht seconded
to purchase a 2019 Mack Granite
truck from Westfall GMC for $158,772
to be paid out of the Special Machinery
fund. All voted yes.
Zoning
Tom Young, Zoning Director, met
with the commission. Tom gave an
update of the zoning issues that have
been going on within the county. He
inquired about raises for his position
and the Road Department secretary.
Discussion was tabled until the salary
committee can meet and discuss the
positions.

J.D.
Mersman,
Emergency
Management Director, met with the
commission. He will be getting a grant
from the ASPCA for $4,000 for an
enclosed trailer to provide a shelter
during emergencies. J.D. found a trailer for $4,700 at Blue Valley Trailer in
Fort Scott. Commissioner McGhee

OPINION
A truly historic week for America
Analysts, historians and scholars will look
back on this week as the moment the Trump
administration became truly historic.
The publication of the National Security
Strategy report on Monday, followed by the
passage of the largest change to the tax code
in 31 years, guarantees that President Trumps
first year in office will be seen as a remarkable
success.
These are two very big achievements, and
without the right leadership, focus, and determination both could have easily failed.
The hostile and bitter news media have been
and continue to be relentless in their mission to mislead the American people about the
progress President Trump and Republicans are
making.
The media have continuously lied about
Trumps foreign and national security policies.
Similarly, the media have spent the last few
months misconstruing reports about tax reform.
They have lied about policies and gone out of
their way to emphasize anything about the Tax
Cuts and Jobs Act that they view as negative,
while skillfully avoiding covering the cuts, credits, and reforms that will benefit hard-working
Americans.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer,
D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi, D-Calif., have been as relentlessly hostile as the news media. The Democratic leaders
have also been more focused on escalating antiTrump pressure and resistance than working
with Republicans and the president to pass
positive reforms for the American people.
However, despite facing all of this, the
Republican team banded together and worked
toward achieving big goals and implementing
bold changes. And this week, America saw them
succeed.
Two very big, long-term projects came to fruition in a three-day period. One had taken almost
a year. The other could be traced back to House
Speaker Paul Ryans call for tax reform in
December of 1998 before he was even sworn in
as a freshman House member from Wisconsin.
In fact, the tax reform legislation could be traced
back 25 years to Ryans work for two other
Republicans Sen. Bob Kasten of Wisconsin
and later former Rep. Jack Kemp of New York
on supply-side economics and job creation.
Both of this weeks historic achievements

reflected candidate Trumps campaign pledges.
During the campaign, candidate Trump articulated a stronger and stronger critique of the
existing national security and foreign policy
consensus. By the South Carolina primary, he
was repudiating President George W. Bushs
decision to invade Iraq. Throughout the campaign, his contempt and hostility for President
Obamas policies were intense, resolute and
unhesitating.
The new National Security Strategy report
is an extraordinary break with the globalist
elite model of a New World Order that had
defined U.S. foreign policy from the early 1990s,
when the collapse of the Soviet Union made the
Reagan Doctrine outmoded because it had
worked.
The explicit linking of economic and technological goals as the long-term foundation for
effective national security is a decisive break
from the post-World War II pattern of giving
away economic advantages in hopes of achieving diplomatic goals.
The definition of a sovereignty-based or
America First approach to alliances and relationships is a recognition that ensuring our
nations safety and preserving Americas role
in the world depends on a strong, prosperous
American economy.
Amazingly, the new central role of economic
growth came to fruition the very same week as
the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
It is symbolically appropriate that the tax
cuts designed to once again make America proSEE GINGRICH ON PAGE 6A

The analysis: Giving Trump credit where its due
Republicans have tried, on and off, to open
the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil
drilling since the 1980s. The effort has always
engendered intense opposition and always
been abandoned. A provision for drilling in
ANWR is included in the Republican tax bill
almost as an afterthought.
Republicans took a constitutional fight
against Obamacares individual mandate to
the Supreme Court in 2012, and lost. They
targeted it in their Obamacare repeal-andreplace bill earlier this year, and lost. They
tried again with a last-ditch skinny repeal
bill, and lost yet again. Repeal of the individual mandate also is included in the Republican
tax bill.
As the year ends, President Donald Trump
is compiling a solid record of accomplishment.
Much of it is unilateral, dependent on extensive executive actions rolling back President
Barack Obamas regulations, impressive judicial appointments and the successful fight
against ISIS overseas. The tax bill is the significant legislative achievement that heretofore
had been missing.
For much of the year, Trumps presidency
had seemed to be sound and fury signifying
not much besides the welcome ascension of
Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court; now, it is
sound and fury signifying a discernible shift
of American government to the right. Its hard
to see how a conventional Republican president would have done much better, except if
NATIONAL COMMENTARY

he had managed to get Obamacare repealed.
The tax cut is big — $1.5 trillion over 10 years,
and even more if you account for the budgetary gimmicks — and has changes that conservative economists have sought for decades,
particularly the lower corporate rate (from
35 to 21 percent), the move to a territorial tax
system (companies would only be taxed on
their earnings in the U.S.), and the business
expensing (companies can write off the full
cost of new buildings and equipment).
The administrations deregulatory apparatus has been in full gear. The Environmental
Protection Agency is unspooling the Waters of
the United States and the Clean Power Plan,
major Obama-era regulations. The Federal
Communications Commission reversed
net neutrality. The Education Department
rescinded an Obama administration Title IX
letter that pushed colleges into abandoning
due process in sexual-assault cases.
Obama administration rulings that occasioned fierce debates during his time in office
have fallen by the wayside with barely a
whimper. Obama blocked the Keystone pipeline. Trump greenlighted it without a fuss.
Obama imposed a Health and Human Services
mandate that feminists portrayed as the only
obstacle between women and a Handmaids
Tale future. Trump reversed it, and contraception is still widely and easily available in
America.
Three acts stand out — pulling out of the
Paris accords, decertifying the Iran deal and
declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel. All
three demonstrated an imperviousness to
polite opinion that is one of Trumps signature
qualities.
The president also began the process of ending DACA, the Obama amnesty for so-called
DREAMers, and has re-established a baseline
of immigration enforcement that has had an
instant impact on illegal border crossings.
None of this is to deny Trumps failings. His
toxic persona could drive a Democratic wave
in the 2018 midterms. Whatever next year
brings, though, Republicans arent leaving
this one empty-handed.

Every Kansas candidate has some skin in the game
What if you could run for a statewide
or federal office without having to worry
about whether youll keep your underground
Statehouse parking garage slot?
Now, there are probably good reasons for
those four to try for bigger offices, but those
fourso farcan campaign for another job at
no risk to their current posts.
The four are, of course, state senators who
are in the middle of four-year terms which
means they won election in 2016 to terms
which dont expire until 2020.
Hows that for a belt and suspenders?
The four, so far, are State Sens. Steve
Fitzgerald, R-Leavenworth, and Caryn Tyson,
R-Parker, who are running for Second District
Congress to take the place of retiring U.S. Rep.
Lynn Jenkins, R-Kan.
Oh, and of course Sen. Laura Kelly,
D-Topeka, who is running for governor, and
Sen. Marci Francisco,
D-Lawrence, who is running for Secretary of

new jobs; lose, they
retain their Senate jobs
for another two years.
Oh, but dont forget
that a handful of Kansas
House members are running for higher office
without that mid-term
safety net, seeing that
House members only have two-year terms.

tion to the House is probably more likely than
having to make friends with a much larger
group of Kansans?
Well, start with House
Minority Leader Jim
Ward, D-Wichita, who is
after the Democratic nomination for governor and
who last year was re-elected to an eighth House term
with 58.5% of his districts
votesjust 3,336 to land
him his House seat.
Another risk-it-all candidate? Three-term Rep.
Kevin Jones, R-Wellsville,
who is risking it all with
his U.S. 2nd District House candidacy.
Oh, and down-ballot there are two candidates
for the GOP nomination for Secretary of State
who are betting it all. They are seven (non-consecutive) term House Speaker pro tem Scott
Schwab, of Olathe, and three-term Rep. Keith
Esau, a Republican also of Olathe, who are
You might just want to
consider that some
candidates are risking

political futures….
giving up the seats that each has recently won
with high-50 percent margins, for the bigger
jobor more time to spend on yardwork.
Practically, everyone would like to move
up to higher office, where they can have a
bigger effect on Kansans lives, whether it is
making voting faster, managing the state, or
in Congress drawing a little of that federal
budget to Kansas, or maybe just preventing
Congress from ignoring programs that are
important to us.
Put aside for a moment every candidates
promise to make life in Kansas better, or save
the water table or provide better schools,
roads, care for the poor and such, which each
candidate has his/her own idea of just how to
do that. You might just want to consider that
some candidates are risking a lot morelikely
their political futuresto accomplish that.
The non-legislators who are in the races?
Well, well presume they are making a living
now and probably are serving their communities in some way.
And, even those job-safe senators who
either get bigger jobs or keep their present
jobs probably have a little-thought-about effect
of pulling into the campaigns for the offices
they are seeking some hard-won experience
that will color those campaigns.
Weve all heard campaign promises that we
know just arent do-able and while they look
nice on a palm card or at a public forum really
arent going to happen. Sometimes its the
experience that some candidates bring to the
campaign that brings some practical realism
to the elections.

mal for the month of December,
but the models arent yet showing how much moisture, or
what form of moisture, we may
be getting that week.
The latest drought monitor shows all but two counties in Kansas in some state
of drought. Anderson County
is shown as being abnormally
dry, but not yet moderate or
severe, even though we have
seen no moisture at all for the
month of December. Knapp
says there are very strong
moisture signals to the south
and east of us, but none to the
north and west where most
of our moisture comes from
this time of year. The normal
precipitation for the month of
December in Anderson County
is only 0.89 inches.
The pattern that is the cause
of the dryness is a La Nina,
which cools the waters of the
Pacific. Knapp said that tends
to push the moisture that we
might normally get to either
the north or the south of us.
It also creates stronger winds
that cause sudden drops in
temperatures. Normally were
warmest when the sun is out,
but with this pattern we might
see our warmest temperatures
at night, then by 3 or 4 p.m. the
wind picks up and we drop several degrees in temperature,
said Knapp.
She warned that the current conditions create a lot of
fuel for active fire behaviors.
People should be very careful about outdoor fire sources, including outdoor decorations, Knapp said. Watch for
loose or exposed wires, and be
careful when burning. Knapp
says that a good snow would
help eliminate some of the fuel
that fires would typically feed
on.
Anderson County fire officials have declared a burn ban
in the county until further
notice, with several adjacent
counties instituting similar
bans on outdoor fires.

at the intersection of U.S.
169 and 2000 Road. Macklin,
a local welder and father of
three, is killed. Brown, a mom
employed at the local high
school, is severely injured.
The year closed with the
highway death in December
of a 19 year-old University
of Kansas freshman heading
home to Independence on
U.S. 169 on his first collegiate
Christmas break. Andrew
Metcalf, a noted photography student in Montgomery
County 4-H, was headed south
when his car was struck by
a northbound out-of-control
semi north of Welda.
Though the year saw its
share of mourning, it also
saw an accidental inspiration for those who remain.
In leaving work for the
weekend of her accident,
Brittney Feuerborn doodled
a whiteboard message for her
coworkers: Love Your Life.
Its a message that resonated in the area even among
people who never knew her,
and one which many will take
with them into the unknowns
of the New Year.

The key slogan of the Trump
presidential campaign was
Make America Great Again.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
is designed to make America
greater by making America
more competitive. The two
goals of this legislation are
to lower individual taxes so
that working Americans have
more money in their pockets
and to lower business taxes
so that businesses are incentivized to invest in the U.S.
economy and create jobs.
Economist Stephen Moore
believes these tax cuts, when
combined with President
Trumps deregulation effort,
could lead to 4 percent economic growth next year.
If Moore is right, the

We are into the Advent season which is the time when
we prepare our hearts for
the coming of Jesus Christ.
Interestingly enough God
and Jesus made appearances on this earth before Jesus
incarnation 2000 years ago.
God descended to this lower
earth in the form of a man
on the plains of Mamre when
he appeared to Abraham concerning the birth of his son
Isaac. In Genesis 18:1-2 we
read, The LORD appeared to
Abraham near the great trees
of Mamre while he was sitting
at the entrance of his tent in
the heat of the day. Abraham
looked up and saw three men
standing nearby. When he
saw them he hurried from the
entrance of the tent to meet
them and bowed low to the
ground.
In Genesis 32:24-30; God
appears at the brook of Jabbok
where Jacob wrestles with
God. In wrestling with Jacob,
God appeared in human form.
In Genesis 32:27-28, we read.
And he (God) said to Jacob,
What is your name? And he
said Jacob. Then he (God) said
your name shall no longer be
called Jacob, but Israel, for
you have striven with God and
with man and have prevailed.
In Joshua 5:13-15, we see an
appearance of the pre-incarnate Son of God at Jericho to
encourage Joshua prior to the
battle of Jericho. In Daniel
3:19,25, we read how Shadrack,
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
Meshach and Abednego who
along with Daniel were taken
captive to Babylon were cast
into the fiery furnace by King
Nebuchadnezzar because they
would not worship the golden image the king had set up.
The king sentences the three to
death in the fiery furnace then
sees that they are protected
from the flames and heat by a
fourth person who is like a
son of the gods. This is again
a visible manifestation of God.
On the plains of Mamre, by
the brook of Jabbok, beneath
the walls of Jericho and in the
fiery furnace are examples of
how God broke into human
history. This Advent season

FROM PAGE 1
repeated notices from Martin
at previous budget hearings
that the city was whittling
down its cash reserves led to
little doubt that the citys utility rate payers were subsidizing
property taxpayers who owned
land and buildings in Garnett.
Another far-reaching topic
revolves around the proposed
construction of a new city
water treatment plant at a cost
of an estimated $13 million a
project that was in its infancy
when Weiner took over the city
managers office and one for
which hes had to pick up the
ball and run. Conflicting input
on this project seems to come
from all around, from rural
water associations to engineers
studying the option to other
engineers chiming in from the
outside. So specifics have been
fluid in the discussions of the
project, especially those that
may impact an estimated doubling of water rates in order
to pay off the extra $1 million
per year debt service over a 20
year-term.
Commissioners and Weiner
will also confront in coming
weeks two decisions involving
Anderson County with obvious impacts on city/county
relations; one in a burgeoning debate over the structure
of the city/county economic
development agency after the
retirement of director Dennis
Arnold, and another over the
development in Garnett of a
land bank that allows the city
to avoid paying property taxes
on land it has acquired which
is not being used for public use,
Every city manager has to
balance local politics while
pushing forward for effective
results, all while pleasing his/
her bosses enough to keep the
job. The melding of Weiners
style with the city commissions has not yet been settled,
but its clear the city manager
has no easy landing in the new
job.

we celebrate Gods greatest gift
to mankind, the birth of the
long awaited Messiah. At the
end of Advent season which
is four Sundays we will have
lit all four candles around
the evergreen wreath which
stand for Hope, Love, Joy and
Peace. On Christmas Eve or
Christmas Day we will light
the Christ candle.
On Gods calendar of events
nothing else remains to happen
prior to the return of Christ.
All prophecy has been fulfilled.
That is why our expectations
should move beyond Advent
and the Christmas celebration.
Just as it was foretold of the
birth of Jesus in Micah 5 we
are told of the certain return of
Jesus in Revelation 22. Jesus
will break into human history
again. We need to be prepared
to meet him face to face. With
this in mind I hope we can
carry Advent forward.

Reason for the Season – During
this time of year it is very easy
to get caught up in the hustle and
bustle. I sometimes forget to take
a step back and remember what
it was like to experience the holiday as a child with joy, excitement and wonder. I asked the
third grade class to write down
what they thought Christmas
was really about as a reminder to
us all as we approach the season.
Enjoy! Merry Christmas! Third
graders said:
It is about when Jesus was
born. -Jaycee Jesus was made
on Christmas day. -Tristan
Jesus was born. -Kamryn I
think its about giving people
things and what Jesus taught.
-Alecia Having fun and having
a happy time. -Gracie When
the Lord was born on December
25th and love. -Preston When
the Lord was born. -Lane The
day Jesus was born. -Xander
The true meaning of Christmas
is giving joy and most of all happiness. -Gage The meaning of
Christmas is to be with friends
and family. -Abby It is about
Jesus and God being born, about

about love, joy, sharing with

about being helpful and thankful for what you have and for
God. -Hanna I think Christmas
is so important, there could be a

Biology class have worked on creating Cell Models. One group
chose to make a cake to represent the rectangular shape of plant
cells. This was probably the favorite project of the class as it was
quite delicious. Another group made a prokaryotic bacterial cell out
of a 2 liter pop bottle. The other two groups chose to make animal
cells out of a foam ball and clay. They had to choose materials that
resembled the actual shape of each organelle. The other requirements for the project were a verbal presentation that involved
knowing the names and functions of each organelle in the cell.

30 years ago: 14+ inches of snow hit Garnett
10 years ago…
Three area teens involved in
the shooting that left another
Garnett man paralyzed from
the waist down last May are
now expected to be sentenced
next month. Eric Swanson, 17,
of Kincaid, William Thompson
18, of Garnett, and Jacob Lucas,
17, of Garnett, each pled no
contest to a charge of aggravated kidnapping after having
been originally charged with
attempted first-degree murder
and other related offenses.

weeks ago while local police
were investigating a burglary
of a Garnett gun shop. Parents
of some of those students interviewed at the time protested,
saying the tactics used by the
police were accusatory and
improper.
30 years ago…
Residents of the area continued to shovel out from under
a snow storm which dumped
14 and one-half inches of white
stuff on the area earlier in the
week. City crews and county
personnel spent much of the
week clearing main roadways
enough to let traffic through.
In some rural areas drifts were
over three feet high.

Many people have trouble

AT YOUR RECENT AUCTION?
If youve recently heard about people being
dissatisfied with the results of their auction or
estate/farm sale, it may be because their auctioneer didnt put their advertisement in front
of people who have money to spend. You want
BUYERS at your auction… not GAWKERS!
The Anderson County Review has the LARGEST PAID CIRCULATION of any publication
read in this area. People BUY the Review
because they intend to READ it not like
junk mail and they have the DISPOSABLE

for her. The car wouldnt start.
He lifted the hood and found
about 100 persimmons piled
underneath. The Shells arent
sure how the persimmons got
there, but believe that a squirrel or opossum is packing persimmons from the tree next to
their garage.
100 years ago…
Humanity can adjust itself
to almost any circumstances.
Not so very long ago, we had a
good deal of trouble here in the
factory while we were trying
to perfect the disk record for
our phonographs. Eight of us
then started up on the work
with very definite intention of
wasting just as little time as
possible. For five weeks, we put
in from 145 to 150 hours a week
each at the job. One hundred
and fifty hours a week means
more than twenty-one hours a
day, and we all gained weight.
INCOME to be the kind of audience you want
at your auction. Add The Trading Post and total
29,000 readers along Hwy 59 from Lawrence
to Anderson County.
Mary Margaret Thomas

Anita Dennis and Steve

your sale a huge success advertise it in the

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 12-19-2017 / Photo Submitted
Strickler steps down from
USD 479 board after 17 years
Jeff Strickler did not seek
reelection to the USD 479 Board
of Education (BOE) this past
fall.
The December BOE meeting
ended a 17 year run of service
and leadership on the Crest
BOE. Strickler, a graduate of
the Crest High School, class of
1985, said the main reason he
wanted to be on the BOE was
to make a positive difference
in the schools.
The two things that had the
greatest impact on him and his
tenure on the BOE was the closing of the Kincaid facility and
not being able to get a bond
passed that would have added
a much needed gymnasium to
the Crest facility.
Jeffs wife Missy, and his
three
children,
Tanner,
Katrina, and Kaden are all
graduates of Crest High School.
His commitment to this
school district and the community as a whole is greatly appreciated. His leadership on the
BOE will be missed.
