Peine offers parting
shot on sidewalk issue
Park Road should be
priority despite its many
challenges, Peine says
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – As his last act as
Garnett city commissioner,
Preston Peine asked for an
update on an issue that has
plagued city leaders for years:
City sidewalks.
As what was supposed to
be a four-year plan to improve
sidewalks in Garnett stretches
into its seventh year, Peine said
at the Dec. 29 city commission
meeting he wanted to leave his
post knowing the project would
finally be completed. Peine,
who was elected to his second
term in April, resigned recently
to move out of state to take a job
offer.
Garnett officials have been
working since 2009 on a plan
to improve sidewalk access
within the city to meet requirements of the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA), after
a citizens complaint brought
mandates from state regulators.
That complaint sparked a mutiyear plan that would provide
improved sidewalk and handicapped access to key areas of
the city – namely, at city-owned
buildings, to the downtown
shopping areas and along U.S.
59 Highway.
The plan was supposed to
be completed by 2013, but for
the past three years it has been
extended.
Were 98 percent done,
Garnett City Manager Joyce
Martin said.

old hospital building made
room for a new parking lot for

BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – For the most part,
2015 in Anderson County was
a year of growing pains.
Residents, business and
governments struggled at
times to balance the need for
a better standard of living
against modern challenges.
They debated the need for
renewable energy against the
cost of damage to the scenic
landscape and property values.

Racing clubs lake road
request hits roadblock
City commission says
no to request to close
lake road during event
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – City commissioners hit the brakes this week on a
request to close a popular local
lake during what has become a
popular throw-back sports car
event.
C.B. Harris, a representative of the group that brings
the Lake Garnett Grand Prix
Revival to Lake Garnett each
October for the past three
years, asked city commissioners to close public access to the
lake during the 2016 event. The
next event is scheduled for Oct.
8-9, 2016.
The vintage sports car event
brings classic race cars to Lake
Garnett for various driving and
car show events in honor of the
Grand Prix sports car races
national race events held at the
lake from the 1950s to 1970s. The
lake road is closed during the
driving events, but opened in
the evening to allow access to
those who want to use the lake
for other recreational purposes.

up their vehicles with cheaper gasoline while businesses
that rely on the oil and gas
industry laid off workers or
announced plans to close.
Many welcomed a new
health care facility even
though it meant demolishing
its historic former home.
And governments at all levels worked to improve infrastructure, despite the costs.
These were the big stories
that made headlines in 2015
in Anderson County, with one
exception.
The most compelling story
of the year both in public
response and as voted by The
Review staff had an entirely
different tone. It was a violation of the worst kind the
violation of a childs innocence and the publics trust.
Top Story:
Former EMT, firefighter
convicted of child rape
The conviction of Mike
Spellmeier for raping a then10-year-old girl from late 2014
to early 2015, and the subsequent plea deal that sent him
to prison for about half the
time typically sentenced in
such cases, outraged many
readers.
Spellmeiers actions, unfortunately, were not unique. In
January, a 71-year-old Colony
man, George Voorhees, was
sentenced to about five years
in prison for sex crimes against
two children, a 14-year-old and
a 15-year-old. But Spellmeier
not only violated the trust and
innocence of a young girl, he
also violated the publics trust.
He worked as an Emergency
Medical Technician on the
county ambulance crew for
Anderson County Hospital
from 1995 to late 2014, as someone who is supposed to help
the sick and injured in times
of crisis. He was a local firefighter until his arrest in May
again, someone who is supposed to help others during
an emergency. And he was a
law enforcement dispatcher,
someone who is supposed to
make sure the right help is
sent to the right people in the
right place at the right time.
In a year when the entire
nation watched protest after
protest over police relations
with racial groups and the
public, Spellmeiers actions
only served to reinforce distrust of those tasked with protecting the public.
The case also served as a
reminder that the court system sometimes chooses to
compromise to protect the
public. In order to avoid having Spellmeiers victim travel from Texas to testify in
open court, Anderson County
Attorney Brandon Jones petitioned District Judge Eric
Godderz to depart from the
standard sentencing guideSEE STORIES ON PAGE 3A

TUCKER
OCTOBER 10, 1919-DECEMBER 25, 2015
Mary Elizabeth Tucker, age
96, passed away on December
25, 2015, at the Anderson County
Hospital Residential Living
Center in Garnett, Kansas.
Mary Beth was born on
October 10, 1919, in Garnett,
Kansas, the
first child of
Ralph Charles
Fraker
and
Jessie Blanche
Garris. Mary
Beth lived her
entire life in
Garnett, graduating from
Tucker
Garnett High
School
in
1938. She was proud to have
been born to one of Anderson
Countys early pioneer families. Her grandfather, Charles
Holden Fraker, arrived in
Anderson County in 1857,
where Wild Bill Hickok taught
him how to shoot a gun and
drive a stagecoach. At the age
of nine, he shook hands with
John Brown as John Brown left
Anderson County with a stage
of slaves on his way to Canada
through the Underground
Railroad. In 1863, his familys cabin was ransacked by
William Quantrill and his raiders as young Charley hid in a
nearby tree. Mary Beths father,
Ralph Charles Fraker and her
brother owned Fraker Clothing
Company, a Garnett landmark,
for over 82 years. Her parents
were also named Anderson
Countys bicentennial couple by
the Anderson County Historical
Society in 1976.
Mary Beth married Everett
Allen Tuck Tucker on October
1, 1939. Their marriage lasted
over 49 years, until his death in
1989. To this union were born
three sons, Thomas Ralph, John
Allen, and Christoper Lee. Mary
Beth was stricken with polio in
1951, which resulted in paralysis
of her right leg and abdominal
muscles. She was released from
the hospital in a brace from her
ankle to her chest and was told
she would never walk without
it again. She soon discarded
the brace and taught herself to
walk. She never wanted anyone
to know that she had a handicap. Despite these circumstances she had both John and Chris.
She worked many years in the
Registrar of Deeds Office in the
6×1.5
nccc
Anderson County Courthouse,
then at the Anderson County
ACS Office, and finally retiring
from the Kansas Department of
Transportation in 1981.
She enjoyed cooking, canning, and making candy and
cookies during the holidays. She
loved to distribute boxes of her
sweets to numerous friends, relatives, and the nursing homes
in Garnett at Christmas time.
She had many hobbies including basket weaving, knitting,
needlepoint, and most proudly
her quilting. She was a member of the Quilt Guild for many
years.
Her family will always
remember her delicious cooking, her pies, and the love she
put into everything that she
made. She had written cookbooks for each of her children
to be sure that treasured family recipes endured and were
passed on to the next generation.
Preceding her in death were
her parents, husband Tuck,
son Tom, and grandson Trevor
Tucker. She leaves her brother
Ralph (Bud) Fraker, two sons,
John Tucker (Topeka), Chris
and Joan Tucker (Topeka), 5
grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren, and 2 great-great
grandchildren.
Mary Beth loved her dogs.
She had a dog every moment
of her life and they were her
constant companions who loved
her, cared for her, and watched
over her. A dog is the only thing
on this earth that loves you
more than he loves himself. The
family would be honored if you
would like to leave a memorial
for our Mother at the funeral
home or mailed to the Helping
Hands Humane Society, 5720
SW 21st St, Topeka, KS 66604 or

Funeral services will be
held at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday,
December 30, 2015, at the First
United Methodist Church,
Garnett, with burial to follow in
the Garnett Cemetery. Family
will greet friends from 6 p.m.

facing 25 years to life in prison,
Spellmeier was sentenced to

the girls family did not want to

felt Spellmeiers sentence was
much too lenient.

Falling oil prices affect
local economy
While grateful motorists and
various other businesses took
advantage of gasoline prices
that dropped below $2 for the
first time in several years, the
impact of cheaper oil had a
devestating effect on some local
industries.
Many area businesses, particularly some of the newest
businesses like Rickerson Pipe
Lining and Hurricane Services,
rely heavily on the oil and gas
industry. As oil prices continued to drop throughout 2015
down to $37 per barrel Monday,
an 11-year low those industries that were tied to oil were
forced to lay off workers and
scale back projects. Drilling
units in the region, which a
year ago were beating the bushes looking for field help, suddenly were weighing the costs
of closing wells against that of
selling oil at a financial loss.
On Dec. 3, Taylor Forge officials announced the company
soon would close the Humco
plant in Garnett, which had
served the community for
decades. Twenty-eight employees with average wages of
about $18 per hour will need to
find new jobs or try to find new
positions at the Paola plant by
sometime in January.
Company officials said the
primary reasons for closing
the plant were low oil prices
and reduced demand for its
heavy steel fabricated piping,
followed by the need to make
costly repairs and updates to
the Garnett plant.
Top Story No. 2 (tie):
Property owners, neighbors
protest wind farm proposal
Although it was announced
late in 2015, plans to build a
wind farm in eastern Anderson
County potentially could pit
neighbor against neighbor in
one of the most controversial
issues in decades.
Wind farms are growing
in popularity in Kansas, considered to be the second most
windy state in the nation.
The popularity of such farms
is driven by environmental regulations at the state and federal
level that force power companies to increase the amount of
renewable power they distribute. A wind farm with about
95 turbines is being constructed near Waverly, near the
Anderson-Coffey county line.
Wind farm 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. They argue utility
companies pass along the costs
of those mandated power purchases to customers in the form
of rate increases.
In November, Calpine
Corporation, a Texas-based
energy company, announced
plans to build about 100 wind
turbines between Greeley and
Bush City on a ridge roughly
parallel to U.S. 169.
A Dec. 15 meeting with
landowners whose property
Calpine wants to lease brought
a lukewarm reception.
Mike Burns, a local businessman and one of the landowners Calpine approached
with a lease agreement, said
he plans to organize an opposition group composed of landowners and neighbors. Burns
warned the issue could divide
the county, pitting landowners
who accept Calpines proposal
against their neighbors, who do
not want to see the landscape
changed nor face restrictions
on hunting and other access to
land in the area.
Honorable Mention:
Infrastructure
improvements set up
city, county, state for future
Of all the stories considered
for this list, infrastructure
sounds the least interesting.
But when considered as a
whole, the local investments
made by cities, the county and
state in 2015 will improve and
help maintain the standard of
living for area residents for
decades to come.
The City of Garnett commit-
ted most of 2015 to infrastructure improvements in its utility systems.
An electric project installed
new poles and modern electric
lines from the citys power
plant along Walnut Street to
the alley between Fourth and
Fifth avenues, and to the newly
constructed Anderson County
Hospital. In addition to providing better electric service for
the new hospital, it also will
help improve service to downtown businesses.
The city also invested in
a 10-year plan to improve its
sewer system, purchasing
a camera that will allow city
crews to inspect sewer lines.
The citys plan gradually will
repair some of the worst sewer
lines and manholes, starting
with lines under and near U.S.
59.
Construction also began on a
new sewer lift station near the
Garnett Swimming Pool.
The city also has been studying its water plant, hoping to
hear proposals in early 2016
about the best course of action
to improve that facility, as well.
All of those improvements,
however, didnt come without
significant cost. In September,
city leaders raised the sewer
rate by about 20 percent, the
first sewer rate increase since
2004. They also agreed to purchase nearly $650,000 in general
obligation bonds to pay for the
electric and sewer improvements.
The City of Colony, meanwhile, continued to take steps
toward improving its sewer
system.
The county focused its infrastructure improvements on
roads, particularly 1600 Road
(commonly known as West
Seventh Street). But in hiring
an out-of-state company to use
a new type of road treatment
and save money, county officials faced numerous roadblocks. The road treatment left
the surface with bumps in some
places and gravel in others, and
little to no traffic control to
direct drivers around the trouble spots.
Eventually, the road issues
were smoothed out, but the
county closed the road to repair
a bridge near Valley R AgriService. That repair work,
which forced traffic to detour
several miles, also took slightly
longer than expected.
Traffic issues have been
less of a hassle for another
major road project, namely the
Pottawatomie Creek bridge on
U.S. 59 three miles north of
Garnett.
Replacement of the bridge
began in May 2015, and is
expected to be completed this
summer. It is part of the Kansas
T-Works project, a 10-year, $8
billion transportation program
designed to create jobs, preserve highway infrastructure,
and provide multimodal economic development opportunities across the state.
Although traffic was diverted slightly to the east of the
bridge project, most of the work
has been done without major
disruption.
Honorable Mention:
New hospital opens, followed
by leadership change
No other story illustrates the
changing of the guard in 2015
more than Anderson County
Hospital.
The new hospital opened
Jan. 29 with its first patient,
Coach Ray Meyer. The opening capped more than a year
of construction of the $26 million facility to replace a 1949era hospital with numerous
infrastructure and antiquation
problems.
The new hospital was built
just behind the old facility
to allow a smooth transition
without a significant break in
health care for area residents.
But it meant that the old hospital couldnt be demolished until
after the new one was open,
and pushed the new hospital
and its ancillary buildings to a
location only yards away from
nearby residential homes.
The early months of 2015
meant watching the old hospital come down bit by bit, followed by a landscaping project
that transformed the footprint
of the old structure into a parking lot and memorial garden
with walking paths.
Just when it seemed the
changes at the hospital were
complete, longtime CEO
Denny Hachenberg in October
announced he would retire in
early 2016. His successor, Rich
McKain, was announced only
last week. Hachenberg retires
Jan. 8; McKain will start Jan.

ers, boating enthusiasts and
others who complained the lake
too often was closed because
of various events like go-kart
races, boat races and the annual Cornstock music concert.
Because of a fisheries service
agreement with the Kansas
Department of Wildlife and
Parks, the lake can be closed
only a few times each year or
the city must pay a penalty.
Instead of closing the road,
commissioners directed City
Manager Joyce Martin to find
an alternative that would satisfy the needs of the Grand Prix
Revival group and allow the
lake to remain open as much
as possible during their annual
event. One suggestion was to
increase police patrol during
the weekend of the Revival
event.
I prefer leaving (the lake
road) open, realizing we have
to provide extra security,
Commissioner Gordon Blackie
said. Weve got to do one or the
other.
Commissioners tried to
reassure Harris they support
the Revival event despite their
decision not to close the road.
Blackie thanked Harris for the
Revival committees work to
honor Garnetts sports car racing past, and to remind resi-
dents of the important history
of the event.
Please dont go away
thinking theres anything less
than support for that event,
Commissioner Preston Peine
told Harris. We just want to
make sure all activities are
accommodated.

FROM PAGE 1A
Harris said the 2015 event
brought concerns with unapproved cars from a Porsche
club driving around the track at
speed but without appropriate
safety protocols in the evening
after the lake was reopened to
the public. He suggested the
easiest way to avoid those
problems would be to close the
lake road and not allow anyone
access unless they were part of
the Revival event.
But commissioners quickly
squashed any hope of closing
the road.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, December 29, 2015
EDITORIAL
We should aim for better in 2016
Its never fun for a town to end a year
on a low note like the closing of the Taylor
Forge plant in Garnett. But its important to
note that taking a realistic approach to the
nuts and bolts of our community, in terms of
business and government, schools and the
social environments we either do or do not
take part in, is important in contemplating
the list we should have as we start a New
Year.
In reviewing the 51 editions of the Review
leading up to today as we wrap up our news
year here, a couple of things stood out to
me in the context of that bad piece of end-ofthe year news.
First, your city council/commission and
your county commission did a fair amount
of work around here this year that was
boring and in which you probably took little interest. Replacing sewer and electrical
systems and fixing roads and rebuilding
bridges is not really hot, romantic stuff. But
if you cant flush a toilet in your town and
be reasonably sure you know where the payload is going and that its not going to end up
in the middle of your street, youre going to
have a hard time convincing businesses and
residents to move to town, or for that matter
stay there if theyre already here.
So that boring stuff is important work,
and we take it for granted.
Another observation I made was that
your business community in Anderson
County probably deserves more credit than
maybe sometimes we give it. Thirty-four
area business people and other interested civic leaders from around the county
took part in an 11-week program sponsored
by Wichita State University, the City of
Garnett and the countys ACDA economic
development agency as well as state sources, all aimed at providing business training
to local folks who are already in or thinking of getting into business. Twenty-four of
these folks attended enough of the 11-week
program to graduate.
That means that a solid core of local business people recognize the stake they have
in their businesses and the stake their communities have in them enough to seek more
education on operating them. Thats critically important, because it is these chargedup people whove risked significant money
and time to keep commerce operating in our
towns; they are the folks who will generate

leadership and create jobs that help sustain
our communities. Without businesses, you
dont have a town.
Another point thats concerning Garnett
City Commissioners went to great pains last
year to expand the citys Neighborhood
Revitalization Program from certain areas
to city wide. They even tried to no avail
to get the county commission to expand
its participation outside certain areas of
the county and make it county wide. The
program offers property tax rebates on any
increase in value caused when a business
either upgrades it present facility or builds
a new one, and includes home renovations
and new construction as well. With all that
effort to expand the program however, only
one application was received for a qualifying project last year.
Only one. Maybe the word on that programs benefits isnt getting out. Or maybe
no one simply wanted to take the risk. Or
maybe the right brainstorm hasnt started
gnawing at the right gambler yet.
Our county needs to do more old-fashioned door-knocking in recruiting industries and businesses to create jobs, particularly with the closing of Taylor Forge next
month. But there are local business people
in the area who have a fire in their belly
to be part of the local commercial scene.
Hopefully theyll help provide leadership
and initiative and the desire to raise the
stakes in the coming year the sort of thing
rural business people learn to expect from
themselves.
Well be starting out 2016 behind the eight
ball, but that doesnt mean the games over.

Yes, I wanted to say that I think Mr.
Preston Peine did a darn good job as a city
commissioner. He got a lot of things done
just by having some new ideas that didnt
cost the city anything but made things
better, like having the agendas on the city
website and the recordings of the meeting
put on there for the people to hear if they
couldnt go to the meeting. There were
lots of other things. I hope when the city
starts looking for his replacement they find
someone else young and smart and energetic and not one of the same old doormats.

down, the judicial branch
To believe his critics, Donald Trump
has ripped up the U.S. Constitution and
sprinkled its shreds on the smoldering
embers of what was once the Statute of
Liberty.
He did this, of course, by proposing
a temporary ban on Muslim immigration into the United States, which
might be the most roundly and fiercely denounced idea in America since
the British Parliament passed the
Intolerable Acts (in 1774).
There is no doubt about it: Donald
Trumps proposal is invidious; not
all Muslims are a security risk. It is
unworkable; among other things, airlines would have to screen travelers
from Europe for their religion. It is
imprudent; we dont want to send a
message of generalized hostility to
Muslims.
But its not unconstitutional.
Trumps detractors, and even some of
his fellow Republicans, cant help making this charge, even though it betrays
a misunderstanding, not just of the
Constitution, but of the very nature of
a sovereign nation.
We do not discriminate on people
based on religion, Ben Carson said in
response to Trumps proposal, thats
constitutional, thats in the First
Amendment. Of course, hes right.
Except the First Amendment isnt a
free-floating grant of rights to all of
mankind.
We are a sovereign country with the
to target the nationality of potential
entrants, rather than their religion.
It is the difference between Trump
proposing, say, a temporary moratorium on visas for people coming here
from Pakistan and Saudi Arabia — San
Bernardino terrorist Tashfeen Malik
was a Pakistani who spent a lot of
time in Saudi Arabia — and a halt to
all Muslims. Trumps ban would apply
to an Iraqi interpreter who worked
alongside U.S. troops, as well as to a
harmless Ph.D. from Malaysia.
Still, the braying about the First
Amendment from the left is rich. The
implicit position of Trumps progressive critics is that the First Amendment
doesnt protect all political speech, or
cover people with religious objections
to gay marriage, or prevent the Obama
administration from forcing nuns to
sign up for contraception coverage, but
it extends to foreigners hoping to gain
entry into the United States.
The embedded assumption is that
migrating here is some sort of global
civil right. Trump may be ignorant
and bombastic, but his supporters
believe that, if nothing else, he understands that the security and interests
of Americans must come first. They
know no such thing about his hysterical detractors.

STATE COMMENTARY
MARTIN HAWVER, At The Rail
gets no budget. Hmmmyes that
non-severability clause provision
sounds like a knockout punch, but if
the court can knock down the first
punch, can it also knock down that
budget-killing second swing?
So things are getting interesting.
This budget-killer of a provision
means that essentially, if it is constitutional, the Supreme Court, the
Court of Appeals and all those local
district courts are out of business. No,
the Legislature cant kill the pay for
those judges, but the provision could
eliminate every dime spent on salaries of the aides and clerks and the
people who actually make the courts
work. Its the folks who track cases
and organize virtually everything
that is done save for hammering the
gavel down or telling jurors when the
lunch break is.
Attorney General Derek Schmidt
got a judge to delay that budget-elimination business until March 15,
but we gotta wonder whether the
Legislature, seeing what happened
to the chief judge selection issue,
is ready to give up and repeal that
non-severability/budget provision.
Orwhether the legislators who
want to make the Supreme Court heel
when they whistle are going to wait
for a court decision on that case, too.
The upside for waiting is the
Supreme Court is likely to look a little
over-protective of its power, and that
isnt a good attribute for those justices who stand who stand for retention votes next fall.
The downside? Makes you wonder
whether those legislators who want
to meddle in court business just cant
take a lesson, and after the court,
what do they meddle in next?
This mightor if you work for the
court might notbe interesting to
watch

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, December 29, 2015
We need to change the
direction we are looking
Isaiah was a prophet to the
southern kingdom from 740
B. C. until after 701 B. C. The
general theme for the first
part of Isaiahs book is Gods
approaching judgment on the
nation of Judah. The prophet
announces that God will punish his people because of their
sin, rebellion and worship of
false gods.
But in chapter 9:6-7 the
prophet offers hope as he
refers to the coming Messiah.
For to us a child is born, to us
a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder and his name shall be
called Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God, Everlasting
Father, Prince of Peace. Of
the increase of his government and of peace there will
be no end, on the throne of
David and over his kingdom,
to establish it and to uphold
it with justice and with righteousness from this time and
forever more. The zeal of the
LORD of hosts will do this.
The particular verse that
stands out here refers to the
rule of God. And the government shall be on his shoulder. In other words God was
the final authority. God had
mandated moral laws to live
by as well as providing civil
or case law to govern everyday life. The Israelites had
rebelled and fell into a life of
sin and idol worship. This is
a pattern that runs through
the Bible from Genesis to
Revelation. Not much has
changed today. I dont claim
to know the mind of God but
WEEKLY
DEVOTIONAL
By David Bilderback
his word clearly states that
the government shall be on
his (Jesus) shoulder.
So what does this mean for
us today with regard to the
critical issues we are faced
with. For some reason we as
a people have decided it is up
to us to shoulder the issues.
The results have been devastating. Printing money 24
hours per day hasnt reduced
the trillions of dollars of debt.
Taking God out of the schools,
courthouse and public square
seems only to have created
individuals bent on destroying innocent people and then
themselves. Electing government officials who have promised programs that are counter productive to a healthy
economy and who practice
political gridlock with programs that could have devastating effects on business
and families as well as our
individual freedoms has only
compounded problems.
So what is the solution?
God has said And the government shall be upon his (Jesus)
shoulder. God didnt send an
economist or a scientist or a
statesman He sent a Savior.
The solution is to LOOK UP.

replaced this year and some
were not on the list.
She added that city staff and
residents even went beyond
the requirements by repairing
additional sidewalks not part
of the ADA mandate. For example, the ADA standards require
only one side of a street have
accessible sidewalks, but many
residents took advantage of the
citys sidewalk grant program
and repaired sidewalks on the
other sides of the streets, too.
The biggest obstacle in
repairing sidewalks was the
availability of contractors,
Martin said. Crews were kept
busy by the city projects, as
well as other work elsewhere.
In 2016, the city also will
look at a couple of other areas
for sidewalk improvements,
such as a sidewalk to access
Crystal Lake in the south part
of the city and a graduated sidewalk at a sharp incline at First
Avenue and the Prairie Spirit
Rail Trial, Martin said.
Although the city was not
required to build sidewalks
along Park Road from Caseys
to U.S. 59, Peine encouraged
Martin, his fellow commissioners and city staff to find some
way to make that happen. City
staff previously said building
such sidewalks would be difficult and costly because of
waterways and utilities in the
area.
The amount of traffic that
goes down that street is hugely representative of the things
that go on in our city, Peine
said, referencing a variety
of activities like the annual Cornstock music concert
and Lake Garnett Grand Prix
Revival, among other events.
Anything we can do to
improve access and walkability will improve all those events
just a little bit further.

Become a Master
Food Volunteer
It was a warm summer
day this last summer at the
Ottawa Farmers Market. An
Extension volunteer purchased
vegetables that were being sold
by local vendors. She rinsed
the vegetables and began to cut
and chop. Several individuals
wandered over to her table to
find out what she was doing.
The Extension volunteer
was Kris Wallace, Master
Food Volunteer, from Franklin
County. Kris used raw yellow
squash, green squash, tomatoes, corn off the cob, a few
onions, green peppers, carrots,
and cucumbers in her salad.
She then made vinaigrette with
wine vinegar, extra virgin olive
oil, and a bit of salt. Kris put
the ingredients in a pint jar,
sealed the lid, and shook until
the ingredients were blended.
Recipes were available so those
wanting to make the vinaigrette could do so at home. A
quick, easy to make, colorful,
tasty fresh vegetable salad!
The next week I visited the
Ottawa Farmers Market with
a display. One of the vendors
came over to my table and said
her husband loved Kris salad!
She also shared her husband
was a picky fresh vegetable
salad eater!
What I have shared with
you is an actual sample of what
K-State Research & Extension
Master Food Volunteers do. Do
you like people and food? Do
you like to share your love of
food with others in your family? It might be that you are
ready to become a Master Food
Volunteer! Frontier Extension
District currently has no
Master Food volunteers in
Osage County; Franklin County
has 5 Master Food Volunteers;
and Anderson has 2 active and
1 volunteer who went back to
work.
If you are a K-State Research
& Extension program supporter or just like to share your
knowledge with others, this
might be a good fit for you. An
Extension agent can only do
one program at a time; Master
Food Volunteers can make
many other contacts of county
residents. It is a great extension of the Extension mission:
Knowledge for Life.
If you are concerned that you
do not have the skills for being
a Master Food Volunteer, keep
in mind that there are 40 hours
of required training. Master
Food Volunteers can work

snow dates of March 16 and 17.
Two classes are held each week
for 4 weeks, so volunteers can
be involved in activities in their

Mouth Marketing Association
can help out (www.womma.
org). This organization has
made a science out of the study
and pursuit of one of the most
elusive arms of sales generation for companies, and their
approach puts a format to
something many of us love to
have but have trouble recreating.
The theory goes like this:
You want someone to love your
home decorating service so
much they tell someone about
it and that person hires you and
becomes similarly enthralled
with you then you have two
emissaries out there passing
along your virtues for free- to
other potential customers, and
the growth is exponential.
As WOMMA explains on its
website, you motivate word
of mouth advertising by some
high-value ingredient that
rings with a customer youre
the cheapest; youre the best;
HOW TO SELL STUFF
Dane Hicks
Review Publisher
your customer really enjoyed
working with you; you have a
fabulous customer loyalty program something you did motivated the customer to go out of
his way to endorse you, either
completely or nearly uncompensated.
In short, word of mouth is
partially about your excellence
in some regard, and nothing
less.
Its also about passing that
excellence along. WOMMA
says word of mouth marketing
follows 5 principles:
1) Credibility: An endorsement has to come from someone the customer trusts to be
straight with them with no
ulterior motives;
2) Respectful: As the brand
hoping for the endorsement,
you have to be ultimately
transparent, truthful and trustworthy in dealing with customers and the public;
3) Social: As the business or
brand, you have to listen to customers in their feedback and
work to understand their position even if its negative, and
you have to encourage communication both with you and
ANDERSON
among customers about your
product or service;
4) Measurable: You need a
means of measuring whether
your WOM efforts are working.
Asking customers how they
heard of you at the point of sale
is a good one. You cant just go
with a gut feel think of it as
custom sizing clothes to fit you
you want real numbers, not
some kind of guess;
5) Repeatable: Whatever the
mechanics are that generage
your WOM sale, you have to
be able to manage future interactions to repeat it, which in
the end makes you a talkable
brand and generates WOM
almost automatically.
It may not cost in the traditional sense that buying
advertising in print, radio, TV,
Internet or direct mail does,
but developing WOM requires
labor and study and constant
assessment. For what it yields,
however, it is well worth
becoming part of your marketing efforts.

In honor of the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War, a cannon from that era fires a demonstration round during a Civil War
Reenactment March 21 at Anderson County Jr./Sr. High School, sponsored by the Anderson County Historical Society.
Area youth chase a greased pig during a contest
at the Richmond Fair Saturday, July 11. The
event is a popular classic at the fair.
Avery Coyer, a second grader in Mrs. Durands
class at Garnett Elementary School, is on the job
as a police officer with her trusty K-9 companion
during the schools annual Halloween Parade
through downtown Garnett Oct. 29.
U.S. 169 between Garnett and Welda was closed throughout the day Oct. 16, because of this wreck.
The driver of the semi said he swerved slightly to avoid deer in the road. The trailer started to fishtail
and he lost control, driving through a ditch before ending up in a pond just off the highway. The driver,
Hamza Gorod of Kansas City, Mo., was able to escape without injury. The freight in the trailer, mostly
automotive parts, had to be unloaded before the trailer could be pulled from the pond.
