Second search finds
Devyn Longs body in
rural Anderson County

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Family and
friends said goodbye to Devyn
Lee Long, age 24, Monday, Dec.
26, during funeral services that
capped a difficult week.
Longs body was found
during a second search by
more than 20 emergency personnel and volunteers Dec. 20,
about three days after his vehicle was found abandoned on
a rural road between Garnett
and Welda.
There were no signs of foul
Debate over the value of wind farms in Anderson County was ranked as the top story in 2016. A Texas energy company proposed
building a 200MW wind farm in the eastern part of the county, sparking outrage from a group of landowners and others opposed
to the project. More than 80 people attended a planning commission meeting to discuss zoning rules that would prohibit wind farm
development (left). Vandalism on both sides escalated to destruction of a 300-foot weather monitoring tower (right).
Wind farm controversy
blows into county
Tragic deaths,
tragic circumstances
City managers pending
retirement brings drama
What would become the biggest story
in Anderson County in 2016 first fluttered
into the area in late 2015, as
a Texas energy company proposed building a 100-turbine
wind farm atop a hilly ridge
from Greeley to Kincaid.
Those early winds of controversy blew
into a full-scale storm over the next few
months, pitting neighbor against neighbor over the value and cost of such a
development. Vandalism on both sides
escalated to an incident of domestic terrorism when someone destroyed a 300foot weather monitoring tower in May.
And although the company that pro-
Tragedies and deaths are inevitable
in any community over the course of a
year. But for those left behind
in 2016, unusually tragic circumstances in many fatalities
made it even more difficult to
cope. Drownings, car wrecks,
fires and suicides all claimed local residents.
Here are some of the fatalities with
unusual circumstances:
Two people drowned this year, alone
on the water, in separate incidents a
couple of months apart. Autopsies provided some answers, but couldnt explain
everything.
Garnett City Manager Joyce Martin is
expected to retire in early 2017, but events
leading up to her departure
took an unexpected turn in
August.
Martin celebrated her 70th
birthday in August. Soon
after, Garnett commissioners told Martin
it was time for her to go, citing a city policy that said anyone who turns 70 years
of age must retire. And although Martin
herself had used the policy to encourage
city staff to retire at age 70, she protested.
She claimed the policy was age discrimination, and pointed to another city rule
that exempts the city manager from staff

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – A Garnett man
is facing criminal rape and
sodomy charges after a Dec. 5
incident.
Roger Dale Lindsey, 36, of
Garnett, was charged Dec. 20
in Anderson County District
Court with rape and aggravated criminal sodomy against a
49-year-old woman earlier this
month. According to the court
filing, the victim was unconscious or physically powerless,
and/or … she was incapable of
giving consent because of the
effect of narcotic drugs or other
substance.

by Garnett police officers. He
remains in Anderson County
Jail on $100,000 bond.
If
convicted,
Lindsey
could face between 12 years
(147 months) to 54 years (653
months) in prison for each of
the charges.

reduce the number of avoidable and unintentional deaths
among children being cared
for by young teen caretakers.
The program follows American
Heart Association standards
for rescue skills and instruction in first aid techniques

pediatrician Dr. Patricia
Keener after a colleagues toddler choked to death while
in the care of an adult sitter
who didnt know what to do.
Students who complete a Safe
Sitter course gain confidence
and learn how, why, and where
injuries can happen so they
can be prevented. They also

the care they receive, how to
prevent problem behavior, how
to run their own babysitting
business, and issues in online
and cell phone safety.

GREINER
JULY 19, 1935-DECEMBER 19, 2016
Shirley Marlene Greiner,
age 81, of Garnett, Kansas,
passed away peacefully on
Monday, December 19, 2016, at
her home.
She was born July 19, 1935,
in Linneus,
Missouri,
the daughter of Opha
Milo and Alta
Belle (Johns)
Maxwell.
Shirley graduated from
Brookfield
Greiner
High School
with the Class

worked for Hallmark Cards as
a photolithographer from 1953
to 1958.
Shirley married Milton

in Kansas City, Missouri.
This union was blessed with
two children. They made their
home in Kansas City until moving to Olathe in 1964. In 1987,
they started traveling across
the United States and Canada,
camping, antiquing and making friends. Shirley and Milton
spent 10 summers hosting a
Forest Service Campground in
Bonners Ferry, Idaho. They
settled in Garnett in 2003 and
joined the First Christian
Church.
She dearly loved her family
and was beloved Aunt Shirley
to many nieces and nephews. Her brothers-in-law just
called her their sister. But her
greatest delight was graduating from Granny to Super
Granny with the birth of her
first great-grandchild.
Shirley was preceded in
death by her parents, Opha
and Alta Maxwell; two brothers, Marlin Maxwell and Glynn
Maxwell; one sister, Kathleen
Waas.
She is survived by her husband Milton, of the home; one

DEATHS…
FROM PAGE 1A
Andrew Yoder, 56, went
fishing alone at a private pond
Feb. 6, where he drowned. The
autopsy ruled out a medical
emergency and he was not
intoxicated; the cause of death
was accidental drowning.
In a separate incident,
74-year-old Sharon Miller of
Garnett left her home at 5:30
a.m. April 24 after telling her
husband she was going to the
hospital emergency room with
an eye issue. Several hours
later, police found her car at
the Cedar Valley Reservoir and
divers found her body in the
water. An autopsy listed the
cause of death as drowning,
with suicide suspected. It was
speculated Miller, who had lost
vision in one eye and had a disease that threatened the other
eye, killed herself because she
was afraid of going blind.
Scottie Dale Thomas, a
19-year-old who struggled with
depression, shot and killed
himself May 3. Hours later,
grieving family members from
Kansas City en route to Garnett
wrecked near Ottawa. Two of
Scotties cousins, including
a 9-year-old boy, were killed
in that wreck. Months later,
Scotties mother talked about
the tragedy and her efforts to
reach out to others who suffered from depression.
On June 9, a 9-year-old
girl and her 10-year-old brother from Garnett were visiting
their grandmother in Nebraska
when they were killed, along
with their grandmother, in an
early-morning car wreck. The
driver and lone survivor of the
wreck was arrested for not having a drivers license and being
intoxicated.
An early-morning house
fire Sept. 13 killed a Garnett
couple while three children
and a dog escaped. It was not
known what caused the fire,
which started near the carport.
The mother, Erica Raddatz,
died in the house of smoke
inhalation. Her husband,
Kevin Slover, escaped with
two of the children, ages 8 and
14, but Slover died later at a
Kansas City-area hospital. The
youngest boy, who turned 4 the
day of the fire, and a dog were
pulled from a window as fire
raged throughout the house.
A sheriffs deputy, a Garnett
police officer and a neighbor
were recognized for their heroic efforts to save the youngest
boy.
Mystery surrounds a
motorcycle wreck Oct. 15 that
resulted in the death of 50 yearold Matthew Eugene Frey of
Greeley. Frey reported injuries, but he and others refused
to tell emergency responders
what happened before he was
taken to a hospital where he
died. Sheriffs Department
investigators eventually determined Frey likely was injured
in a motorcycle wreck that
involved alcohol, but couldnt
find the motorcycle. An autopsy report was expected to aid
the investigation.
A young man with a troubled past disappeared Dec. 17
under mysterious circumstances, only to be found dead days
later. Devyn Long, 24, went
missing sometime between
Friday night, Dec. 16, and
Saturday morning, Dec. 17. His
car was found abandoned with
the door open, something his
family said was very much out
of character. About a month
earlier, Long had been charged
with criminal threat and two
counts of battery after an altercation with family members
and neighbors, and had been
staying with friends since then.
His mother said he also used
drugs, and she worried that
may have contributed to his
disappearance. Search parties
found his body Dec. 20; Sheriff
Vernon Valentine said there
were no signs of foul play, and
the cause of death is pending
an autopsy.

policies.
City commissioners backed
off their demands for Martins
immediate retirement, and
vowed to change the two policies.
Martin said in August she
planned to retire sometime
in early 2017. Commissioners
have begun a search for her
replacement, and recently
offered a survey that allows
city residents, business own-
ers, city staff and others to
weigh in on the qualities they
want in the next city manager.
It was expected a new manager could be hired as early as
February; Martin told commissioners she would stay as long
as needed to hire and train her
successor.
Martin has worked for the
city nearly 50 years, most of
that time as city clerk. She
began in 1967 and became the
city manager in 2007.

died.
The cause of the fire was not
determined, but it was believed
to have started in the carport
on the west side of the house.
According to the autopsy
report, Raddatz died of smoke
inhalation with carbon mon-
oxide poisoning as a result of
the fire. Ethanol intoxication,
which is a technical name for
alcohol intoxication, was listed as a contributory factor.
Raddatzs body was found on
the floor in the bedroom, and
did not have injuries other
than those consistent with the
fire. She was identified by tattoos.

OPINION
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, December 27, 2016
City manager transition will demand
leadership from commission
There are no doubt negatives that have
arisen from the fact that outgoing Garnett
City Manager Joyce Martin has been a fixture in local city government for nearly 50
years. It is assured that such issues wont be
a problem with her replacement but there
will be others.
The degree to which a lack of longevity
will be better or worse in regard to Martins
replacement will eventually be revealed. In
these days of job-hopping, especially among
those in local government administrative
positions, it is nearly assured that whoever
replaces her will not be around as long.
Likewise, whatever positives Martins
decades of connection to the community
and city government have generated will
be missing as well. There is much to be said
in local leadership positions for knowing
where all the bodies are buried.
This is an area unaddressed in a recent
survey conducted by the City of Garnett and
the League of Kansas Municipalities which
gave Internet users a means to convey their
priorities in the hiring of Garnetts next city
manager. As such, it reveals a direction as
to the job the commissioners have ahead of
them.
And it is not too late to drop the LKM from
the selection process altogether. Entrusting
this organization to assist in the hunt for
Martins replacement means it wont shark
top performers from any of its member cities
in Kansas for our benefit as such LKMs
recommendations and initiatives can only
be second-tier at best.
Every new leader coming into a position
to some degree remakes that position in his/
her image. Thats the situation right now
with the post Martin has held for the past
10 years and which carried to a large extent
the flavor she demonstrated as city clerk for
several decades. City commissioners, who
have the ultimate responsibility here, have
to bear that in mind as they reconfigure the
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
position so that it can be reconfigured by
someone else.
And there is much at stake where city
leadership is concerned. For decades and
much to Martins credit and involvement,
the City of Garnett has been the driving
force in the communitys most progressive
actions. Who can forget the initiative exemplified by the city back in 1993, when county
commissioners instituted a blockade around
the Anderson County Hospital Board to prevent it from constructing a new physicians
office complex designed to boost local offerings for doctors and patients and enhance
revenues at the struggling hospital. City
commissioners side-stepped county negativity toward ACH by building that complex
and entering into an agreement to lease it
to the hospitals management. Under the
circumstances at the time, had the action not
been taken, the local hospital might not have
survived.
Because Martin had more than an employee/employer relationship with the city, decisions to support right causes got made and
got pursued. Her efforts were also apparent in development of the Prairie Spirit
Trail, initial efforts for the East Kansas Agri
Energy plant, a program for investing in
local properties, local lakes and parks proj-
ects, recent infrastructure upgrades and
many others.
There are those who disagreed with her
and some vehemently, but that comes with
the territory of leadership and it always
will regardless who occupies her office.
But it will be the city commission that
will have to grasp the new reality of the city
managers job after Martin leaves, without
the pluses and minuses her history and
background have brought to the post. And
it will be the city commission which will
have to explain those new realities to city
staff and members of the community.
The fact that Martins subsequent
replacements are likely to spend less than 5
years in the post demands that city leaders
assess the city manager position, amend it
to be more part of city structure and less
based on personality, and become more
involved in oversight than they have in the
past.
Done correctly, they can make the most
of the positives from the transition and
minimize the negatives.
Hillary has only herself to blame
The Democrats have a simple explanation for Hillary Clintons loss — the Russians
did it.
The party that has had a decades-long soft
spot toward Moscow and been reluctant to
believe that the Kremlin might have aggressive intentions or, say, cheat on an arms-control agreement is in a frenzy over Russian
hacking that supposedly denied Hillary the
victory that was rightfully hers.
John Podesta, the chairman of a Hillary
campaign that considered accepting the
results of an election part of American writ
as of about two months ago, refused several
times on Meet the Press last Sunday to say
the presidential election was free and fair.
In a contest this narrow, anything might
have been decisive. But the monocausal Russian explanation for Hillarys defeat
ignores her myriad political and ethical vulnerabilities that the Democrats were determined to disregard, despite the obvious evidence of them for years.
Vladimir Putin couldnt have hand-picked
a worse champion for them this year. There
was no reason to believe that Hillary Clinton
was a good politician who could deliver a compelling message, since she had never done it
before.
The Democratic establishment rushed into
the arms of a candidate who, it was clear
from the beginning, could well lose to Donald
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
Trump, especially if a few things bounced
the wrong way — and is now shocked and outraged that she indeed lost when a few things
bounced the wrong way.
Yes, the Russian interference was among
those things. But some perspective: The hack
of the Democratic National Committee disrupted the early going of the Democratic convention, but the convention was still a wild
political success. Certainly none of them had
the effect of the James Comey letter 11 days
before the voting, which dominated the coverage for days and led to an immediate slide in
Hillarys poll numbers.
This is why Democrats tend to lump in
James Comey with the Russians when argu-
ing that the election was hacked, even though
hes the director of the FBI, not the FSB.
Comey is a public servant who had to grapple
with the unprecedented circumstance of a
major political party knowingly nominating
a presidential candidate under FBI investigation. Who thought this was a good idea?
Democrats just assumed that everything
related to the investigation would go Hillarys
way. She escaped indictment, but two of the
worst moments of her campaign came courtesy of Comey, whose public explanation of her
handling of her emails wounded her in the
summer.
It is true that late-deciding voters broke
against Hillary, although its impossible
to disentangle the effect of WikiLeaks, the
Comey letter and natural factors, i.e., she was
the known quantity running as the quasi-incumbent at a time of great voter discontent,
setting her up for a fall at the end.
Democrats are calling for an investigation
of Russian interference in the election. This
is entirely appropriate. But everything points
to the Democrats not being able to handle the
fundamental truth of what happened on Nov.
8 — they took a flier on a historically weak
candidate out of a misbegotten attachment to
the Clinton dynasty, and paid a grave price for
their foolish mistake.

School districts still waiting for presents
Christmas is over, and 286 Kansas Unified
School Districts are still waiting for their
present a fatter school finance formula that
will bring them more money for the upcoming
school years.
Pardon the double-negative, but nobody
who runs or works for school districts doesnt
want more money.
And, while there is still the budget hole to
fill, the biggest issue for the upcoming session is going to be responding to the Kansas
Supreme Court which will in weeks or months
determine whether the Legislature is appropriating enough money to schools so that
every child–border to border, city, rural,
whatever–is provided the same opportunity
for getting a good K-12 education.
The state is now operating under a block
grant system which provided districts about
what theyve received the past couple years,
and if that seemingly static distribution of
funds doesnt inspire school superintendents,
teachers and other employees to start looking
at new cars, or maybe higher thread-count
sheets, it is at least equitable. That means the
simple block grant formula doesnt favor or
short-change any districts.
But equity is a whole different thing than
adequacy. Thats the real big-number issue,
which some are predicting could cost the state
$500 million or may become a meal that, with
tip, could cost the state, or someone, $1 billion.
And, thats the Christmas present that
school districts are hoping for. That somehow
the state scraps the block grant program and
figures out a formula that will boost aid to
K-12 districts.
Oh, and theres that other aspect of spend-
STATE COMMENTARY
MARTIN HAWVER, At The Rail
ing more money on K-12. Its where that additional money comes from. The state can write
the check, or the state could split the bill
with school districts, requiring higher property taxes to support schools. The locally
elected school board members would prefer,
of course, that the state pay the bill and that
their neighbors and constituents not be inconvenienced with a property tax increase.
Getting an idea of just how that double-negative sentence works out? Nobody at the local
school level doesnt want more money, but
they are a more than a dab interested in where
it comes from.
Because the whole issue of adequacy of
aid to education is pegged to students having
equal opportunities, some will say that the
state or someone must decide what sort of
education we want for the kids. Basics, which
will get them into a college or community college or a vocational school or maybe just into
a job. Or it might be specialized classes that
deal with making sure a student has the social
and collegial skills to live a good life that isnt
based on living in their parents basements.
And, if some districts want to offer scores of
classes that influential parents want for their
kids, must all districts offer those classes, or
at least have the money to offer them if any
patrons asked?
Defining just what a suitable education is
will be the issue that may determine whether
the Legislature will adopt whatever the court
comes up with or whether it might hand that
decision to the 10-member State Board of
Education to hammer out.
The real key here is that whatever the court
decides and whatever the Legislature decides
isnt going to end two decades of court fights
over providing equal access to an adequate
education. Just isnt going to happen.
As big an issue as the states cash flow
problem is, the hundreds of millions of dollars of shortfall that needs to be repaired, it
comes down to elementary school arithmetic.
Revenue minus spending equals the ending
balance for each year.
Adequacy? Equal opportunity? Those
are bigger questions that simple math wont
solve. It comes down to how smart you want
those Kansas kids to be, and whether they
learn enough at K-12 to live out their lives as
wed like them to.

About Joyce Martin saying this cable company is wanting a raise in their bill, its
just stupid. I have problems with my cable
everyday, channels missing, scrambled. My
Internet is half the speed I paid for. Four
years of promised upgrades we havent got. I
ask when were getting upgraded, they dont
know. Im sick of this cable company screwing us around and not giving us what they
promised. Thank you.
Dont know how many of you remember
this as you look around the rooftops of

Corporation would construct about 100 turbines,
each about 500 feet tall, for a 200 megawatt wind
farm. Wind farms are growing in popularity in
Kansas as energy companies attempt to capitalize on the ability to generate renewable energy,
meet new national standards for renewable energy and take advantage of national tax credits.
Supporters say such farms provide a renewable source of energy, provide farmers with
another way to monetize natural resources, and
boost the economy with jobs and lease payments
to landowners. Opponents say construction of
the wind turbines damages the land and replaces
the scenic landscape with tall, ugly turbines that
reduce the value of the property. They say wind
farms do not result in reduced reliance on fossil
fuels because such plants must continue to produce energy when the wind doesnt blow. They
also argue utility companies are forced to buy
the wind energy and pass on rate increases.
Calpine estimated it would need to monitor
the weather and wind for a year or two, but
those plans apparently were put on hold when
someone destroyed a 300-foot weather monitoring tower May 20-21. Despite Calpine filing
paperwork with the FAA in June, the tower has
not been rebuilt. The incident was turned over to
the FBI for investigation.
Calpine quit taking phone calls from The
Review in July, and even local wind farm supporters and county officials say they havent
heard from anyone with the company since
mid-summer. That led to speculation the company may have abandoned the project.
But as a precaution and to prevent future
wind farm developments, opponents asked the
Anderson County Planning Commission to
adopt new regulations that essentially would
prevent any future wind farm projects. More
than 80 people attended a planning commission meeting to debate the pros and cons of the
proposed zoning regulations. At the meeting,
wind farm opponents outnumbered supporters
by about 10-1. The commission said they need
time to review the matter, and would not make a
recommendation to county commissioners until
January or February 2017.

Scenes from 2016
Emergency personnel work the scene of a fatality
accident that involved an Iola elementary school bus
Nov. 18, on U.S. 59 south of Garnett near the Bush
City road. The driver of the passenger car, a Neosho
County Community College student, died in the wreck.
None of the children on the bus were seriously hurt.
Eddie Montgomery, left, and Troy Gentry of the country music duo Montgomery Gentry perform during
Cornstock Saturday, Sept. 24. Shortly after this photo
was taken, Montgomery collapsed on stage and
was treated for dehydration at an onsite ambulance.
Montgomery quickly returned to the stage to continue
the show. The story made national news as fans worried about his health.
Group Workcamps participants from across the United States arrived in Garnett in July to begin a weeklong project,
the Garnett Area Paint Project, that combines mission work with home repairs like painting houses, fixing porches
and building wheelchair ramps. The event contributed more than $200,000 in volunteer work.
Brody Kohlmeier of Garnett defies gravity in the fun
house during the Anderson County Fair in August.
Anderson County Sheriff Vern Valentine, second from left, and firefighters
survey the scene where a passenger car slid underneath a semi-trailer in
February. The driver escaped serious injury.
Union Pacifics Living Legend No. 844 steam locomotive passes
through Garnett Oct. 27.
Local law enforcement officers including Garnett Police officers

Be careful requesting
justice over mercy!
Amos was a prophet of God
who lived in Tekoa, a village in
Judah some five miles south of
Bethlehem. Amos was a man
of several trades, a shepherd, a
livestock breeder and a dresser of sycamore trees. Amos
had not studied to be a prophet but the Lord called him to
this office. Amos ministered
mainly in the northern kingdom but also addressed the sins
of Judah.
Israel, the northern kingdom
had become wealthy and had
enjoyed a time of peace. The
result of this was they had fallen into idolatry, false religion,
and social injustice. God had
issued repeated warnings to
Israel in the form of hunger,
thirst, blight, locusts, plagues
and military defeats but the people refused to see his hand in
these. Judgment would follow.
In Amos 4:12 the Lord through
the prophet Amos issues the following declaration. Therefore
thus I will do to you O Israel;
because I will do this to you,
prepare to meet your God O
Israel.
This phrase is taken from Ex.
19:15-17, where after sanctification the people met the Lord at
Sinai. Then they met a God who
was forging a covenant with
them. Now they would meet a
God who was coming to judge
their covenant disobedience.
In 5:12; the Lord through the
prophet says, For I know how
many are your transgressions
WEEKLY
DEVOTIONAL
By David Bilderback
and how great are your sinsyou who afflict the righteous,
who take a bribe, and turn aside
the needy in the gate. God is
telling the people that he knows
what they imagine he does not
know. As sovereign king of the
universe God possesses complete knowledge of all of our
lives. We can sin and never consider the consequences, believe
no one knows but God knows.
This ability for complete knowledge is one of Gods attributes.
What may be kept secret on
earth is common knowledge in
heaven. In Amos 5:18-27, God
rejects Israel. In 5:24, the Lord
says, But let justice roll down
like waters and righteousness
like an ever flowing stream.
If we fail to accept Gods
mercy we will receive his justice. If you want to avoid Gods
justice try this. Before you do
something that you know is
wrong think of the consequences first not after. If we continue
to trample over God we will
receive his justice. Because he
is a righteous judge God must
punish sin so be careful in
requesting justice over mercy.

on the Holiness of God.

reported to the Kansas Museum

our time working in the Kansas

Topeka, Kansas.
This project was entitled
Fall Fling Follow-Up Day and
our working hours from 8:00

breaks and one hour for lunch.
After signing in and receiving
our days instructions, we were
divided into two separate rooms.
Room #1 was a sorting room.

Recycling
Nate Berry wrote an informative and interesting article
recently. Nate is the son of
Melissa and Sid Hobbs. The
article:
The little things are often
what make the biggest impact.
Unfortunately, they are also
the things that are often overlooked in everyday life. Six
years ago in the fall of 2010,
Mrs. Kayla Taylor and a few
of her FCCLA students chose
to not overlook one of those
things. They wanted to make a
change within the school, and
went searching for what they
could do. Once they noticed
the recycling trailer was in
town, an idea struck. There
was plenty of paper being
wasted at our school, and that
was what they were going
to change. They started the
project by placing bins in the
classrooms to collect paper.
The first year, they collected
over 800 lbs. of materials. Now,
they collect paper, newspaper,
magazines, catalogs, cans, bottles, and phonebooks. Once the
items are collected and sorted,
they are taken to the Garnett
landfill, which houses the recycling center. Even six years
later, the project is still going
strong. Even though there is
no exact number, Mrs. Taylor
does know that they collect
much more than before. It just
goes to show that if there is a
change you want to make, you
can change.
