Health officials scrub J&J vax, turn tracking over to state
Connecton to blood clot
issues shelves vaccine, while
others still recommended
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
IOLA The agency that runs the
Anderson County Health Department
will no longer administer the Covid
vaccine produced by Johnson &
Johnson due to a blood clotting disorder observed in some patients who
took that particular shot, and tracking of the disease will move from local
health officials to state staff.
Southeast Kansas Multi-County
Health Department Director Rebecca
Johnson said in a press release the
Food and Drug Administration
Wednesday had issued the precaution
due to the presence of Thrombosis
with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome
(TTS) which had been observed in a
wide range of patients.
On Thursday, the ACIP (Advisory
Committee
for
Immunization
Practices) met and recommended
mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are preferred over the Janssen COVID-19
vaccine for the prevention of COVID19 for all older than 18 years of age.
The release also said KDHE will be
transitioning the investigation of all
COVID-19 cases from the local level to
the state level.
The Local Health Department will
still investigate other communicable diseases as they occur, but not
COVID-19.
At the present, the local health
department works with schools and
long term care facilities on COVID-
19 cases as they come, on outbreaks,
and on contact tracing. KDHE investigates a majority of the others, the
press release said, but this change will
move all COVID-19 cases to the state
level. Johnson said local staff will continue to be in contact with the schools
and long term care facilities until this
transition is complete.

Baumans Carpet & Furniture in Garnett officially changes hands next week. Above, from left new owners Austin
Kellerman and wife Annie with their kids Allison, 3, and Anderson, 6 months, along with former owners Mary and
Glenn D. Bauman.
New owners for longtime furniture store
GARNETT Austin Kellerman says not much will
change at least initially with Baumans Carpet &
Furniture once he and wife Annie take over ownership January 1.
At this point were not planning any major changes, at least in the near future, Austin said. At some
point we may want to look at expanding furniture
lines, maybe get more into furniture repair, but right
away its all going to be pretty much as it has been.
Kellermans no stranger to the store or to the
local area. Raised in the Harris area where he still
lives with his wife Annie and two young children,
Kellerman worked at Baumans several years ago in
a number of capacities. He has also worked at Corley
Seed Farms and in the trucking industry.
Baumans opened in Garnett 57 years ago in downtown as a cabinet shop and later started handling
carpet sales. The company moved to the highway
location in the early 1980s and expanded into furniture sales.
Current owner/manager Glenn D. Bauman
will maintain his chiropractic practice, Balanced
Healthcare, at the store location for the time being
and will be on hand for an unspecified amount of time
to train and assist the Kellermans.

Where have all the workers gone?
Employers scamble for
help leads years stories,
with gas price, cold snap
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 12-28-2021/DANE HICKS
A sign at the Trade Winds Bar & Grill in Garnett
notes a recent change in hours as the labor
shortage persists.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
Restaurants, hospitals, trucking companies; in 2021 some people didnt want masks, some didnt
want the Covid vaccine, but theres
one thing just about everone whether employer or customer, wanted:
Workers.
And that shortage of workers in
2021 made doing many jobs far more
lucrative.
The 2020 economy which was artificially shut down by government
action and regulation came roaring
back in 2021, tired of being sequestered at home and ready to spend
loads of cash dispensed in a number
of Covid relief allotments from a
giant, debt fueled federal ATM. But
many said those same federal Covid
relief benefits increased unemployment benefits filtered through
state unemployment systems, direct
payments to individuals and businesses and floods of cash that came
to landlords for unpaid rent and
local and tribal governments for
all manner of services pushed so
much money into the economy and
into the pockets of former workers
that they opted to stay out of the
work force and spend the money.
The story led the business reports
nationwide stories of ships filled
with goods unable to unload at the
nations ports because there werent
enough workers to unload them.
Delays in orders for retail goods
even online purchases became
commonplace.
Analysts said some areas, Kansas
in particular, saw a tougher worker shortage because traditionally
low wages in many Kansas jobs
made an easy petri dish for the
wage bidding war that resulted for
employees when workers became
more sparse. The national economic picture leading into Covid had
been surging before the shutdown,
with more than two-and-half million jobs created in 2018 and over
two million new positions added
in 2019, so there wasnt much slack
in state work forces coming into
the pandemic. Whatever the reason,
businesses in the area felt the pinch
of the labor shortage and workers
at least those who clocked in typically earned more.
The City of Garnett had a tough
time filling vacant police officer
posts prior to Covid, but midway
through 2021 the city authorized
another major raise as well as a
hiring bonus for city police recruits,
and that drive in turn forced county
commissioners to follow suit with a
raise for county sheriffs deputies in
what Anderson County Sheriff Vern
Valentine feared would become a
bidding war for qualified law officers between city and county positions. Later in October, county commissioners instituted an across the
board pay increase for all county
employees (excluding deputies and
jailers involved in the earlier raise)
of $2 per hour, after several office
positions at the courthouse
went unstaffed and
efforts to hire
truck
drive
r
posts in
the road
department and
landfill
were unsuccessful.
But
perhaps worst
hit were health care and restaurants in the area. While nursing
posts at area hospitals and nursing
homes have traditionally tended to
be revolving doors, some healthcare workers war-weary from a
year of Covid stepped out of the
industry altogether and some opted
to leave when their employers
mandated still-controversial Covid
vaccinations. The State of Kansas
in September funneled $50 million
in federal aid into a retention program designed to keep nurses in the
states hospital.. Saint Lukes hospitals in Garnett and Iola got $47,000
and $99,000 respectively in retention
pay.
Restaurants forced to close dining areas during Covid found wait
staff
and kitchen workers
reluctant to return
to work and slim
pickins out there
for new potential
hires. Garnetts
C h i n e s e
Restaurant
moved
to
carry-out
only during
the pandemic and
at present has no plans
to return to dining room service for that reason, said owner
Delong Tong. Amanda Weller tried
to re-open Colonys restaurant but
had to close again mid-December
for lack of employees willing to
work the rigors of the food service
business. Angi Smith at The Trade
Winds has fought staffing shortages
ever since re-opening post-Covid,
and changed hours several times to
try to accommodate the availability
of workers.

JULY 24, 1946 – DECEMBER 10, 2021
Sharon Sue Herrmann, age
75, Blue Mound, Kansas passed
away Friday, December 10,
2021. She was born July 22, 1946
in
Moran,
Kansas the
daughter of
L.M. Brock
and Beatrice
Davis Brock.
She graduated from
Blue Mound
High School

with
the

On March 6, 1965, Sharon Sue
married Howard Herrmann,
the love of her life, after he proposed to her on Christmas Eve,
1964. Growing up on the farm
she learned to drive tractors,
help bale hay, and milk the
cows but she was also an excellent homemaker and cook.
One of her specialties was
peach cobbler which was often
requested on special occasions.
She also enjoyed canning produce from Howards garden
often putting up many jars of
green beans each summer. She
worked in the office at the Fort
Scott Sale Barn, as a rural mail
carrier for several years, and
drove a school bus. Her full
time occupation, though, was
office manager of Howards
Garage. She was a member
of the Blue Mound Federated
Church and the American
Legion Auxiliary. She enjoyed
putting together jigsaw puzzles
and nearly always had one on
the table that she was working
on. She loved to go fishing
with Howard and often caught
more fish than he did. She
also enjoyed playing computer games on her laptop, working in her yard, and spending
time with her grandkids and
great-grandkids.
She was preceded in death
by her parents.
Sharon is survived by her
husband, Howard, two sons,
Shawn Herrmann(Debora),

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, December 28, 2021
OPINION
Shameful feminists abandon female athletes
The National Organization for Women,
Association for Womens Rights in Development,
the Feminist Majority Foundation and all
the other phony paragon champions of women
rights have abandoned female athletes on the
ridiculous but all-too consequential battleground of post-modern transgender dysphoria.
They, in their vagina hat wearing, typical counterfeit indignation, are laid bare by
showing that theyre all-too-happy to sacrifice
women athletes on the altar of transgender
wokeness. To save womens sports, female athletes and gender realists who believe in actual
fairness and equality must stand up against
faux feminism. Since no one will speak for
women athletes, theyre going to have to speak
for themselves.
The movement didnt need another grotesque
example, but it got one a month ago after Will
Thomas, a three-year mens collegiate swimmer
at Penn State University, who went through a
year of chemical conditioning to become Lia
Thomas, started blowing other female swimmers out of the water when he was allowed
to compete on the Penn State womens team.
He easily broke numerous womens records,
besting the second place finisher in one race
division by an astounding 38 seconds.
Among those Thomas decimated were members of his own team, of course, and a few
summed up the courage to face the woke social
media flagellation by speaking out about it.
Pretty much everyone individually has spoken to our coaches about not liking this, a
woman on the Penn State womens swim team
told Fox News. Our coach [Mike Schnur] just
really likes winning. Hes like most coaches.
I think secretly everyone just knows its the
wrong thing to do. When the whole team is
together, we have to be like, Oh my gosh, go
Lia, thats great, youre amazing. Its very
fake.
And its all kosher with NCAA policy and
Biden Administration executive orders. Even
Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, with the help of
5th District Representative Mark Samsel and
others, successfully blocked a Republican bill
that would have protected womens sports from
the incursion of men within our borders.
Everyone seems to have an opinion except
the bastions of womens rights and activism
who not so long ago staged a Womens March
that drew hundreds thousands of valiant vagina hat wearing soldiers for womens rights
in protest of naughty things President Trump
said about women as a private citizen. Notably,
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
President Trump never signed executive orders
authorizing men to take womens sports crowns
away from them or took any other action disenfranchising women but President Joe Biden
did.
Confronting such hypocrisy is difficult, especially considering the strident morales presented on modern feminist websites.
Together were rewriting the rules to make
this country work for us, says the Super
Majority Education Fund. Together, we
can achieve a vision of equal opportunity for
all, proclaims the American Association of
University Women. End extreme poverty and
fight inequality & injustice for women around
the world, says the Global Fund for Women.
Apparently not the kind of poverty that comes
when you lose your swimming scholarship to a
man.
Collegiate women athletes have to get serious if they want to save womens athletics
the same way black athletes banded together
during the Black Lives Matter protests to bring
the nations attention to the imaginary systemic
racism of the nations policemen and women. If
BLM can convince colleges like the University
of Kansas and Kansas State University to stick
BLM stickers on their football helmets and sell
a contrived narrative of racism to athletes and
fans, women athletes should be able to muster
a movement of their own to combat an already
definable and proven moral threat.
The cowards in the modern feminist movement wont stand up for them, so these women
are going to have to stand up for themselves.
If not, one day those standing on the medalist
platforms of womens sports will all be men.

Attention: Has anyone noticed if white guys go

punish them severely. However, if this certain
ethnic group and their idiot followers rampage
several times a year every year, they face no
consequences whatsoever. Thats America.
This is about animals. Theres a city code that
prohibits intentionally killing or maiming any
animal, abandon or leave them without provisions for their proper care. Thats exactly what
the City of Garnett is doing. They want these

Boycott Brazils beef until they play ball
How many of you have heard of the World
Organization of Animal Health (OIE)?
It was founded in 1924, through an international agreement to ensure transparency in
the global animal disease situation, in order
to collect, analyze and disseminate veterinary
scientific information. Through the years,
it has encouraged international cohesion to
control animal diseases and set standards for
veterinary services, resulting in a safeguard
for international trade in animals and their
products.
Why should we know what OIE is and what
it does? The world looks to OIE for information when there is an outbreak of African
Swine Flu, Foot and Mouth Disease or Mad
Cow Disease (BSE). The OIE website lists all
the diseases and infections that require notification when a country discovers a case.
The list is long and covers domestic animals such as horses, cattle, sheep, goats, bees,
poultry and swine. There are 182 member
countries involved with OIE and OIE has been
recognized by the World Trade Organization
as a reference organization. A country reports
animal diseases to OIE so the rest of the world
can take appropriate action. OIE has reporting
standards which all members agree to follow, such as reporting any occurrence within
24 hours and having a nations veterinary
authorities give periodic updates as efforts to
COMMENTARY
BRUCE SCHULTZ, VICE-PRESIDENT NFO
combat the disease and the disease progress
within that countrys borders.
OIE is an important cog in identifying and
fighting global animal diseases. Its goal is simple; find out where and when animal diseases
occur and work with members to control and
contain these diseases. This helps keep our
domestic animals safe and keeps our food
supply safe and reliable. In 2003, when the U.S.
had its first BSE case in Washington State, our
government reported it immediately to OIE.
I remember being very nervous around the
holidays not knowing how this would affect
our cattle markets. Japan and North Korea
banned our imports right away. The world
knew because we did not hide anything. Since
then, we have had a total of six BSE cases
in the U.S., all deemed atypical, or naturally
occurring. This separates it from disease from
contaminated feed. We have played by the
rules and have ridden out the bumps as they
have presented themselves for export bans
and market fluctuations. This year, Germany
and the United Kingdom reported BSE cases
within days of their occurrence.
Currently, one country is not playing by
these rules. Brazil has had two atypical cases
of BSE this year. They reported these cases on
September 3, but Brazil knew about them in
June. This raises a red flag. How can we trust
the Brazilian government about food safety
if they dont live up to the standard that 181
other countries have agreed to follow?
This is not the first time Brazil has delayed
reporting BSE. The country was months, even
years behind reporting cases in 2019, 2014 and
2012. Already, China has banned Brazilian
beef. China is the worlds largest importer of
beef and Brazil is the largest exporter of beef.
Is the Brazilian governments plan to dump
its beef into the U.S.? That seems a likely scenario. The only way to stop this is by having
Congress step up and ban Brazilian beef until
they adhere to the OIE regulations.
Senator Jon Tester, D-Mont., has a bill to
ban Brazilian imports until there is a system-

heroic image of himself as the next transformational Democratic president in the line of FDR
and LBJ.
This drove the mistake of not realizing that
Manchin or any other Democratic dissenter in
the 50-50 Senate had the power to derail Build
Back Better and accordingly scaling it back
from the outset. Instead, the White House and
congressional leadership acted as if Manchin
could be cajoled or bullied out of his oft-repeated qualms.
Perhaps Democrats will reunite with the
senator on a scaled-back spending bill in the
new year, but the era of FDR fantasies is definitely over. Democrats should ask themselves,
if they had a mandate to remake the country,
why the entire project depended on the approval of a single conservative Democrat from West
Virginia?
Hey Hicks, if somebody wakes Biden up and
tells him how low his approval ratings have gotten with Hispanics, hes liable to start building
that wall again. That is all.
If you think this town is messed up for giving
you a ticket for watering a stray cat, let me tell
you about the ticket I got for not wearing a seatbelt while I was sitting in a parked car. This is
absolutely ludicrous.
I would just like to say thank you to the people that mowed at the cemetery this year. The
cemetery has looked better than it has in years.
Thank you very much.

Dems show turning point of Biden progressivism
Joe Manchin and London Breed have nothing in common.
One is an old-school Democratic senator
from West Virginia, surviving and thriving in
an increasingly red state; the other is the progressive mayor of San Francisco, a city that is
a byword for cutting-edge left-wing politics.
Yet both, in their own ways signaled that
Biden-era progressivism has reached its
high-water mark. Manchin, of course, delivered an emphatic thumbs down to Joe Bidens
signature Build Back Better plan, while Breed
reversed field on crime in a stunningly frank
endorsement of law-and-order in a jurisdiction
infamous for the opposite.
The de facto pincer movement by the wildly different Democrats from wildly different
parts of the country — San Francisco is roughly
19 times as large as the biggest city in West
Virginia — shows that the progressive tide that
built in the Trump years is finally colliding
with political reality and the real-world consequences of progressive extravagance.
This doesnt mean that progressivism is
spent obviously. It dominates the media, academia and almost all the rest of elite culture. At
the same time, Democrats still control the elected branches of government in Washington. But
a growing backlash against progressive excess
has found expression in two notable acts of
Democratic defiance.
By now, the context of Manchins no
on Build Back Better is familiar. Joe Biden
campaigned as a pragmatic Democrat only to
reverse field after his election and develop a
If you are one of these snowflake parents who
are keeping your child away from family members and not letting them see family membersduring the holidays or for throughout the past
year because you have a family member that
wont take the Fauci ouchee, you ought to be
ashamed of yourself. I want to ask you, when
your snot-nosed brat was running around with
colds or the flu or who knows what they might
have picked up at school, did your mom or dad
or grandma or grandpa ever once shun them the
way youre shunning your family now? Ill bet
not. Ill bet the door was always open just like
grandpas house is supposed to be. Kids never
hardly ever got Covid and never got sick unless
they already had something wrong with them,
and yet youre acting like they might die of it
like getting hit by a car or something. Now even
people who got the shot are still getting it. Get
over yourselves, this is about you and not them
kids. You should be real proud. Thank you.
Now, Democrats are looking down the barrel of a mid-term election wipe-out that could
give the GOP a durable House majority that
will put paid to any thought of BBB-style legislation for years.
If Manchin said enough to big-spending
federal aggrandizement, London Breed said it
to the soft-on-crime consensus in blue cities
that has led to spiraling disorder. The Bay
Area, home to the smash-and-grab robbery and
other routine offenses against basic human
decency, has been Exhibit A.
Concluding that even the tolerant people
of perhaps the countrys most tolerant city
wouldnt put up with it much longer, Breed
had her Howard Beale moment. In a speech
clearly meant to set down a political and rhetorical marker, she called for an end to the
reign of criminals who are destroying our
city.
The Breed turnabout, from police-defunder
a year ago to would-be Rudy Giuliani now,
marks an end to the period after George Floyds
death when anti-police sentiment was ascendant.
There are other signs that the progressive
momentum is beginning to give way. A rightward shift among Latinos shows the limits of
paint-by-the-numbers identity politics. That
the lefts response to the grassroots movement
against critical race theory in schools has been
to deny there is any critical race theory in
schools speaks to a telling defensiveness. Next
year, the Supreme Court may well knock out

Did you know what a
candy cane represents?
DIGGING UP THE PAST
Henry Roeckers
Call (785) 504-4722 for
local archeology information.
Yes, I know Christmas Day
has come and gone, the day we
celebrate the birth of the Christ
Child, but Kay and I as believers,
believe everyday is CHRISTs-DAY.
Since we are in the holiday
season I have a question to ask
you. How many of you had or
have at least one candy cane in
your household? What is so special about the candy cane you
ask?
A candy cane is the shape of
a shepherds staff. Jesus is our
shepherd and we are his flock.
Upside down the Candy Cane is a
J which is the first letter in the
name Jesus.
The wide red stripe represents
the blood He shed on the cross
for each one of us so that through
His blood we may have eternal
life. The white stripe represents
the purity of our Lord who was
without sin. The narrow red
stripe represents the stripes He
took on His back for our healing.
The flavoring of the Candy Can
is peppermint which is similar to
hyssop. Hyssop is from the mint
family, used in Old Testament
times for purification.
Hyssop was given to Jesus
when He hung on the cross.
When we break our Candy
Cane it reminds us of the body
of Christ which was broken for
us. If we share our Candy Cane
with someone else we love, this
represents the same love Jesus
Christ shared with us.
May God Bless you and your
families this Holiday Season

Hicks wedding announcement
Colony Christian Church
The Christmas Tree Hunt
Howard Reiter gave the
Communion Meditation this
past Sunday. At the time of
Jesus' birth, the world was a different place than what we know
now. The Jews had reached the
promised land long ago, but had
lost their spiritual compass.
Tyranny, slavery, injustice and
poverty dwelt among them.
They knew the Messiah would
be coming. In the meantime,
they were smothered in the law
and in their own man-made
traditions. And they didn't recognize the Messiah when he
came. These devout men lived
so close to the Temple, and yet
it was the shepherds and wise
men that God announced Jesus'
birth to.
Pastor Chase Riebel gave
the sermon "The Christmas
Treasure Hunt". If you are
going to look for a treasure,
there are 3 questions to consider: 1. What is the treasure?
2. Is it worth looking for? 3.
Who will find it? Could it be
me? The angels told the shepherds that they brought them
"good news of great joy". At
the time of Jesus' birth, Caesar
claimed to be the good news.
The Romans may have agreed
with this, but the Jews definitely did not. Caesar's was a false
kingdom that didn't offer peace
and blessings for all. Satan the
deceiver, twists scripture and
causes many to believe these
lies about false gods. We need
to be on guard so that we aren't
deceived into trading in the
true savior for a quick and

YOU are the living Good News.

Commission Meeting
After one church member had an idea and another
made the items needed, the
Richmond United Methodist
Church has a new tree for the
sanctuary that is beautifully
decorated with gold and white
chrismons.
Chrismon means Christs
monograms. They are all symbols that honor Christ. White
reminds everyone that Jesus
was pure and perfect. Gold
symbolizes His majesty and
glory. These are the liturgical
colors of the Christmas season.
Elaine Dunbar said she has
known about chrismons for
some time, and visited with others about how nice a chrismon
tree would be in Richmonds
church.
The first chrismon tree was
created in 1957 by women in a
Lutheran Church in Danville,
VA. The idea has been used by
several denominations so now
one might find such a tree in
many places.
Elaine
asked
Janice
McIntosh, who is a talented
crafter, if she would make the
items needed. Janice added
further research to Elaines,
and purchased books so she
would have patterns.
She made 25 symbols of poster paper with gold glitter over
glue. A few of these are the star
which is for joy, a lamp for wisdom and knowledge, triangle
for the Trinity of God, Son and
Holy Spirit, butterfly for new
life and resurrection, dove for
the Holy Spirit, plus numerous
others. There are no duplicates
of the ones Janice made.
The 20 angels are all white
in two sizes and made of lace,
doilies, ribbons, beads and
other items.
It didnt cost anything to
make the chrismons since I
had everything needed in my
craft supplies, said Janice.
Im glad I could do this project, it has been very meaningful.
A new, pre-lighted tree
appeared anonymously at the
church and is greatly appreciated. A chrismon tree has only
clear lights and symbolizes the
eternal life that Jesus Christ
provides.
Im glad to have a tree in
our church that represents our
Christian beliefs, said Elaine.
I just had the idea; Janice is
the one who made it successful.
Members
of
United
Methodist Women and other
church members gathered to
decorate the donated tree with
the new chrismons, as well as
the sanctuary chancel, placing
the beloved nativity scene front
and center, below the lighted
cross. Two rows of memorial
poinsettias were set in front of
the altar and the prayer rails

wrapped with garlands.
Its not just a tree with
presents underneath, added
Pastor Lenise Eddings, for
just as the evergreen branches stretch upward in constant
praise to the Creator, so are
we to remember GODS greatest gift, Jesus of Nazareth, the
Christ, our present and future.
I am so thankful these two
special women felt the calling
to make this sanctuary fully
centered in Christian meaning
and praise.
The new chrismon tree, full
of symbols of the love of GOD
and church, shows that joined
efforts of two women, assisted by others, gave birth to a
meaningful new tradition at
Richmonds United Methodist
Church.
The tree will remain until
January 12th when UMW members, with helpers, will put
away the decorations until next
Christmas, and the chrismons
will certainly have special storage attention.

On the 16th of December
twelve people met to play pitch
at the Senior Center. Jackie
Waddle won the most games
with 8 of 10. Loydene West
took low and Carla Ewert won
50/50. Doug McIntosh had the
most perfect games with three.
We were graced by our oldest member who is 101 years
old. So good to see her looking
so well and still playing cards
with great skill. We enjoyed
snacks of homemade cookies
and candy.
Several people were out of
town for the 23rd of December
games but we still managed
to fill three tables. Betty
Lybarger won the most games
with 8 of 10. Ray Wards took
low and Dorthy Spencer won
the 50/50. Loydene West had
the most perfect games with
four. Numerous treats were
available and an evening of
laughing and card playing was
enjoyed by all.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, December 28, 2021

apparent relief in sight for the
labor situation. Prison staffs
are so short some in Kansas
are curtailing in-person visiting days. Teacher shortages
threaten to boost class sizes
and halt some class offerings
across the state altogether, not
to mention the shortage of substitute teachers. As the winter
weather season sets in, Kansas
Department of Transportation
worried it may not have enough
people to clear state highways
in the event of winter storms.
Gasoline price increase:
Steadily increasing gasoline
prices at local stations took an
ever-increasing bite out of drivers wallets throughout 2021 as
per-gallon costs topped $3 locally and across the region.
The increases of better
than $1 per gallon since fall
of 2020 hit particularly hard
at local workers who commute
for their jobs outside the local
area. Prices started an uptick
in 2020 after long time lows
but remained steady during
the Covid pandemic due to
consistent production and low
demand due to the economic
shutdown. The takeoff in prices in fall 2020 was said to be due
to increased demand and lowering domestic production, as
well as an increase in the price
of Saudi oil due to a riff with
the Biden Administration.
An estimated 40 percent
of Anderson County workers
commute to jobs outside the
county, with average commuters driving some 24 miles to
their jobs.
Yet Anderson County currently fares better than neighboring counties in terms of
gasoline costs. The most recent
fuel cost analysis by Kansas
AAA shows Anderson County
with the lowest pump prices
(about $2.96 per gallon) among
its contiguous counties in East
Central Kansas.
A Fox News survey says for
every 10 increase in per-gallon price of gasoline, $1.3 billion comes out of Americans
discretionary spending. At the
close of the Christmas season
the impact of those prices on
the Christmas shopping season
was still unknown.
Kelly thwarted
In the post-pandemic year in
Kansas, Governor Laura Kelly
tried to enact new restrictions
on business, residents and
schools in Anderson County
and the rest of the state, but
Republicans in the Legislature
were having none of it.
After crippling lockdowns of
business, schools and populations and then an inch-by-inch
reopening plan in 2020 that
was eventually short cut by
lawmakers, Gov. Kelly again
attempted to enact another
mask mandate in April 2021
as Covid cases were trending
down. The new mandate was
shut down by Republicans
controlling the Legislative
Coordinating Council. The
move left mask decisions up
to counties and lesser governments in their own jurisdictions.
Kelly tried in August with
another mask mandate, this
time for all state employees
and state facilities including
the Kansas Statehouse, and
was again called down by legislators. The same opposition
followed later in the month
when her reopening protocols for Kansas public schools
encouraged masks for students, teachers and staff while
indoors, regardless of vaccination status.
USD 365 and Crest USD 479
made masks optional for stu-
dents for the school year.
Coldpocaplypse costs
A historic cold snap that
slammed into the Central
Plains February and lasted
through February 18 wreaked
havoc on the local area and
the multi-state region, causing much-debated damage to
natural gas well heads in the
south that limited gas supply
and forces record-breaking
price spikes. Gas that sold
for less than $3 per unit the
month prior suddenly rocketed to more than $600 per unit
that week, which meant a $1.5
million gas bill for the City of
Garnett in the first two weeks
of February alone about the
same amount as was budgeted
for the remainder of 2021.
State
legislators
and
Governor Kelly moved quickly to arrange a low-interest
loan fund that allowed municipals and businesses to pay
those costs, which were often
between 5 and 50 times regular
billings. Garnett started paying
on its total $2.9 millon extra
billing in August.
Is time our friend or our foe?
From the minute we get up
in the morning until we go to
bed at night we are controlled
by time. The following may
be said about time. You cant
save it, borrow it, loan it, take
it or give it away. Time cant
be stopped, stored, stretched
or shared. All you can do with
time is use it or lose it.
So what do we do about this
time issue? Time is unique
because it is one of the only
things that everyone, young or
old, rich or poor, has the same
amount of. Time can make you
feel like a prisoner because you
have too much or a last minute Christmas shopper because
you have too little. The people with too much time dont
understand the issues faced by
those with too little time and
those with too little time dont
understand why other people
have so much time.
With all that said we have
the same twenty-four hours
everyday. If we think about
it I believe we can see that
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
God puts a lot of importance on
time. He separated the light
and the dark to give us time
for rest. Every time he sent his
people into captivity he did it
for a specified time. God also
set one day aside for we read in
Genesis 2:3; And God blessed
the seventh day and made it
holy, because on it he rested
from all the work of creating he
had done.
God did not create this day
for us to ignore or to fill with
activities. We read he blessed
the seventh day. God created you and me for fellowship
with him. In Genesis 1:27 we
read, So God created man in
his own image in the image of
God he created him; male and
female he created them.
There is one more important
aspect of time. It runs out. For
each of us time will someday
cease. God is no respecter of
persons. Time will run out for
each of us. I hope that makes
us look at how we are using our
time. In Hebrews 9:27 we read;
It is appointed for man to die.
After that time will be no more.
There will be no opportunity to
right the wrongs. When we lay
down at night and all is quiet
and dark are we comfortable
with the ticking of the clock? If
not maybe we need to change
the way we spend our time.
Ministry on the Holiness
of God.

FRANKLIN COUNTY
ROUND UP
Powered by
Housing project
A new proposed housing
project, in a under-developed
part of Ottawa, may go a
long way in easing the housing crisis. During the Ottawa
Planning Commission Regular
Meeting, Shawn Markley, of
946 South Funston, described
his idea:
The project, to be located at
739 Funston, would be known
as The Markley Addition. The
Planning Commission gave its
approval to the Preliminary
Plat. Final approval is expected
from the City Commission.
Shop Small
As the Christmas Shopping
season comes to an end, Ottawa
Busness owners are asking
people to continue to look right
here in Downtown Ottawa for
their gift needs. Small business
looks for a big boost in sales
this time of year. Mary Raley
of Maggies Popcorn and Nuts,
says you really dont have to
leave Ottawa to get nearly anything you want:
For every dollar you spend
in locally owned businesses, 67
cents stays in the community.
If you spend it in a national
or regional chain store, only
30 cents stays in the community, and if you spend that
dollar online, well, the community sees very little, if any.
Shop small, shop local all year
around.
We will be open from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm
on New Years Eve. We will be closed
on New Years Day.
