Caution urged after second woman attacked
Caseys employee says
man was hiding near
her car, attacked her
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A woman who
fought off her attacker last
week cautions others to be
more aware of their surroundings and not take things for
granted just because they live
in a small community.
I want people to know how
real it is. Its not a joke, and it
can happen to you, the 21-yearold victim said. Her identity is
being withheld because she is
the victim of a reported crime.
I thought it couldnt happen.
Were in Garnett. Thats why
it took me a second to realize
what was happening.
The woman was attacked
last week while on a break
from working a shift at Caseys
General Store on Park Road.
She went outside to smoke a
cigarette at about 9:30 p.m.
Tuesday, Nov. 26. She needed a
lighter from her vehicle, which
was parked next to a cement
wall divider on the west side
of the Caseys parking lot. The
woman had locked her vehicle doors and thought she was
being careful, she said. She had
heard about an incident a week
earlier, in which a Garnett
woman was attacked by a man
who was hiding in the back seat
of her vehicle.
As she rounded the vehicle
to get into the drivers side,
which was next to the wall, she
saw a man crouched near her
front tire. She noticed he was
wearing a red towel like a rag
across his mouth and nose. He
also was wearing a dark-colored hoodie jacket, and dark
Santa Claus Came to Town
beanie cap. The woman said
he was tall and thin, about 6
feet 3 inches. The woman said
she turned to leave as the man
stood up quickly.
He said something about
me being pretty and grabbed
me from behind, the woman
said.
She flung her right elbow
and struck the man, the woman
said. He let go, and she fled back
into the building and called
police. The man ran down the
wall, went around the corner
toward the Auburn Pharmacy
office building and fled into the
trees to the north, she said.
Police Chief Kevin Pekarek
said officers used a tracking dog
from the Kansas Department of
Wildlife and Parks to search for
the suspect, but the trail went
cold near the north side of Lake
Garnett.

Local forum to answer
Obamacare questions
Program to answer questions,
clear up confusion about
new health insurance act
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT People who have questions
about the Affordable Care Act, more
commonly known as Obamacare, can
learn more about the act during a special
meeting in Garnett Monday, Dec. 9.
Representatives from the Kansas
Association
for
the
Medically
Underserved (KAMU) and East
Central Kansas Area Agency on Aging
(ECKAAA) will answer questions about
the health insurance marketplace beginning at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 9, at the
Garnett Public Librarys Archer Room,
125 W. Fourth Ave., Garnett. Jordan
Rickabaugh, an Insurance Marketplace
Navigator representing KAMU, and
Sarah Holloran representing ECKAAA,
will be on hand to help residents learn
more about their insurance options. The
program will include a short presentation followed by a question and answer
session.
The new health reform law requires
that everyone who can afford health
insurance must buy it, or they may have
to pay a tax fine. But when a national
website that people were expected to
use for sign up was launched in October,
numerous glitches with the system made
it nearly impossible for most people to

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Next summer could be
a Field of Dreams moment for the
Anderson County Fair Board: If they can
bring a carnival to the annual county
fair, will people come?
Fair board members have heard complaints about the lack of a carnival for
several years, since the last time a carnival was featured at the fair. Some have
blamed lack of attendance on the lack of
a carnival, but fair board members have
said it is very difficult and expensive to
secure a carnival for late July, when the
fair typically is held.
Things could change in 2014, though.
Jess Rockers, fair board president, told
Anderson County and City of Garnett
commissioners he found a carnival company that is willing and able to come to

Better cable, Internet still coming, rep says
BCI will make good on its
promises, company rep
assures commissioners
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Better cable and
Internet services are coming,
a representative of a company
that took over the beleaguered
Allegiance
Communications
last spring assured Garnett City
Commissioners at their regular
meeting Tuesday, Nov. 26.
But its been more than six
months since representatives made
those same promises, and noth-
ing has changed with cable and
Internet services in Garnett, commissioners said. To make matters
worse, the representative who was
supposed to attend a meeting and
answer commissioners questions
stood them up three times.
Instead, it was one of the companys newest employees who met
with commissioners Nov. 26 and
did his best to set their minds at
ease. Its been only a month or
so since Richard Black joined BCI
Communications, the company that
took over Allegiance last spring.
Black, who is from Texas, now lives
in Garnett.
Things are happening you
havent seen yet. A lot of things
are happening behind the scenes,
Black assured commissioners, adding that he is now part of the community and will work hard to make
sure Garnett benefits from the best
technology available in the area.
Black outlined plans for a fiber
ring that will circle from Fort Riley
to Atchison, providing 100 megabyte Internet speeds and all highdefinition cable television channels. Garnett likely will have a spur
from that fiber ring that branches
out of Ottawa, but Black assured
commissioners there would be systems in place to make sure the city
has constant access to service in

Pekarek confirmed that
police are looking for a man
who was in Caseys earlier that
day, but said it is not clear if he
is the same man who attacked
the employee. The victim said a
man was in Caseys at about 11
a.m. and spent about 45 minutes
in the store, but did not buy anything. When employees asked if
he needed help, he shook his
head no but did not speak,
the woman said. Police were
called and questioned the man,
but Pekarek said the woman
could not positively identify the
man as the same person who
attacked her later that day.
The description of the man
who attacked the Caseys clerk
is different from the description
of the man who was hiding in
the womans car a week earlier,
and Pekarek said it does not
appear that the incidents are
related. In that Nov. 18 incident,
a woman went to get something
out of her vehicle and found
a man hiding in the back seat.
He grabbed her and they struggled, but neighbors heard her
cries for help and called police.
The man, described as about
5 feet 10 inches with shaggy,
light brown or blond hair and
scruffy facial hair, fled before
police arrived.
The description of the suspect who attacked the Caseys
clerk does, however, match a
description of a man who was
loitering outside a downtown
business a week earlier. In that
incident, a woman who was
leaving her business saw a man
outside and asked if he needed
help. He asked to borrow her
cell phone, but she refused. She
went back inside, and the man
left. The woman notified police.
Pekarek said its important
for people to report suspicious
incidents. He also encourages
people to be cautious and aware
of their surroundings, and to
always lock vehicle doors. If
someone asks to borrow your
phone, offer instead to call for
help yourself.
Anyone with information
about the recent attacks is

Its important to know what
your options are, Holloran
said. We want to be completely
fair and not sided either way,
and help people any way we
can. I know it has been confusing.
Holloran said she attended
a similar presentation in Paola
recently, and said most who
attended had questions about
the website. Government leaders recently completed an overhaul of the website, but it is not
yet clear how effective those
repairs will be. Other questions
at Paola came from people on

how the Affordable Care Act
would affect them.

also plans to offer new products such as service to larger
customers like hospitals and
schools. The company is testing a system near Ottawa that
would use a tower to provide
wi-fi service in rural areas that
are not otherwise served by
the Allegiance system. If that
service is effective, it could
possibly be expanded to offer
Internet services in rural parts
of Anderson County that do not
have a reliable, local Internet
supplier.
Black stopped short of offering a timetable for the improvements in Garnett, but told
commissioners he believed the
fiber ring was about halfway
completed. Black was not prepared to speak to commissioners, who were expecting a visit
from BCI representative Shawn
Beqaj. Beqaj had been scheduled to attend the Nov. 26 meeting and two previous meetings,
but failed to show up for any of
them. Commissioners said they
appreciated Black stepping up
to answer their questions.
He assured commissioners
they could expect to see significant improvements with the
new Allegiance system.
I did a lot of investigation
before I hired on (with BCI).
Theyve done this type of thing
before, taking a system thats

them up to give customers
what the big cities have got,
Black said. Theres no way I

CARNIVAL…
FROM PAGE 1A
the Anderson County Fair July
8 to Aug. 2, 2014. The company,
which also provides carnival
entertainment at the Miami
County Fair, has a good reputation, Rockers said. It would
bring 10 rides, an assortment of
games and concessions for up to
five days.
The catch: The fair board
must guarantee a payment of
$25,000 to the carnival company.
The county fair boards portion of that $25,000 will depend
on ticket sales. If the carnival
brings $25,000 or more in ticket
sales, the county would pay
nothing. But if ticket sales were
dismal, the county fair board
must be able to pay the difference.
If organizations and clubs
throughout Anderson County
are willing to help, fair board
members estimate they could
sell advance tickets to help
lower the cost of the carnival,
Debbie Davis, a member of the
fair board, said.
Anderson County

Rockers and Davis attended the Nov. 26 Garnett City
Commission meeting to ask
commissioners for $5,000
to offset the initial start-up
costs for the fair, such as paying a deposit to secure their
chosen dates. They made the
same request of the Anderson
County Commission. City commissioners said they wanted to
support the fair, but because of
tight budgets in 2013 and 2014,
they were unsure if they could
afford the investment. City
Manager Joyce Martin said she
would take a look at the budget
and see if they could find the
money somewhere.
Rockers apologized for the
late notice, but said he had been
working diligently to find a carnival company and only found
this one within the previous
week or so. He also talked to
another carnival company, but
that company would require
changing the fair dates. That
company also asks for a $10,000
guarantee, but would keep all
ticket profits without credit
toward the guaranteed amount.

EDITORIAL
Can Garnett rebound like Nebraska town?
Plymouth, Neb., population 500, only had one caf in
town, and it was about to close.
The town was in a panic. Only 15 miles from
Beatrice, Plymouths meager business community was
well within death punch range of the closest WalMart Supercenter. Amazingly, Plymouth still had a
grocery store too, and it was feared that the negative
momentum of losing the caf, which amounted to part
of the critical mass that helped develop and keep some
customer traffic in downtown Plymouth, might end up
toppling the grocery as well.
It was a scenario the likes of which plays out all
the time in rural states that struggle to maintain their
towns and keep businesses in operation there when
there are lots of reasons to close up shop and go somewhere else. As I read about Plymouth it reminded me
of Garnett and the businesses of Anderson County and
how much churn Ive watched in the business community since those days when I first started calling this
place home.
The business makeup of Garnetts downtown bears
little resemblance to that of 25 years ago. Fraker
Clothing, Webster Jewelry, Garnett Thriftway, AF
Super, Pence IGA, B&F Clothing, Stockton Furniture,
the Richart Hotel with the candy store on the ground
floor and later a barbeque place in the corner space,
Family Shoe Store, Bantam Store, Sears, Anderson
Motors, all gone.
There were those who pursued their own entrepreneurial dream here no matter how short-lived. Looking
back through old copies of the newspapers I find lots
who started since I came here and whove closed up in
the interim. Some over very short periods of time.
Thats not to say theres no collection of recipes for
success here, albeit varied in their ingredients. Some
businesses have survived and thrived. Banks, newspapers, lawyers, hardware and lumber stores, fast food
places, gas stations, farms, ag service companies and
cattle operations. Whatever happened over those years,
some of us made it.
In view of some initiatives by local businesses over
the past year to discuss their needs and analyze the
real makeup of local business/customers relationships, I started trying to consider the totality of our
local business life cycles over the period of time in
which Ive observed it. Theres a ton of research out
there from just about every state university in states
that have a good chunk of rural communities. The
most striking I found was an analysis conducted by the
Center for Rural Affairs, a rural research think tank in
Lyons, Nebraska (pop. 851), specifically the findings of
a Needs and Thoughts survey of small businesses in
rural Nebraska the third in a series of surveys done
every other year of business owners rural communities
across the state.
Nebraska is a lot like Kansas. A handful of major
population centers, a few big-name companies and
employers (Warren Buffet lives there, after all) but
mostly made up of little towns where high school football is a big deal and the wester you go, the sparser it
gets.
The survey results point out the predicament in
which many rural business people in Nebraska find
themselves, and the parallels to local businesses here
in Anderson County over the decades are too similar to
ignore.
Over 75% of the rural small businesses in Nebraska
have five or fewer employees. Nearly half of the respondents claimed gross annual sales of less than $100,000.
The lack of start-up cash and lack of business finance
knowledge remain the chief difficulties faced by start-

up businesses. Other financial difficulties and marketing are prominently mentioned as start-up difficulties
as well. Current business operations claim the same
problems now that they had on startup a lack of working capital and lack of marketing
Theyre also up against a wall when it comes to succession planning finding someone qualified to whom
they can sell or pass along the business when they
retire. Thats a particular issue among rural business
owners in the Nebraska survey 60 percent of those
responding were over the age of 50.
One thing those business owners have embraced
however is social media the survey didnt say which
flavor, but most likely those rural entrepreneurs are
part of the one billion folks worldwide who make up
Facebook. Its not clear whether they used the service
for personal or business use, but their familiarity with
social media was certainly defined by the survey data.
After selling advertising and writing business stories and being involved with local business people here
since 1985, my gut tells me this Nebraska survey pretty
much applies to our own local business community.
Last year, Garnetts Creative Business Partnerships
organization rallied local businesses to begin analyzing
the nuts and bolts of local small business. With the help
of city staff it assembled an inventory of available commercial buildings in town with contact information and
other data in order to make a ready resource in case
anybody expressed an interest in locating or starting a
business here.
It was a good start, and hopefully that momentum
will translate into another meeting of local business
people coming this December in which well analyze
our common problems and brainstorm solutions with
a central theme: how do we make more money, attract
more customers, create more jobs, strengthen our town
and build businesses that survive beyond us?
In Plymouth it became a group effort as well. The
meeting of their business folk came up with the idea
that no matter what happened the last thing they
wanted was to lose their only caf.
So they attracted a buyer for the caf on the condition that volunteers would remodel and re-outfit the
place so the new owner didnt have to seek a loan or
start-up capital. Volunteers fixed the roof, begged, borrowed and stole materials, even built a giant commercial-grade exhaust hood for the kitchen to meet state
health requirements. Thats all been a year ago, and the
caf is still going strong under its new management.
In Plymouth they found a solution when everybody
showed up and put their heads together. I hope youll
join us in December in Garnett when we try to do the
same thing.

We have told our children and our
grand children that if somebodys bullying you to let the teacher or staff
member know that. Well then they get
pegged as a tattle tail. Bullying is true
and it really happens even if a teacher
or administrator is just being silly. I
think you need to take those into consideration. Maybe not what you consider bullying but in their heads they are. I
think the school needs to come up with
a very good bully policy and everyone
needs to follow it. Thank you.
So here we are during the Thanksgiving
holiday in Garnett and some crazy is
loose on the streets of our town grabbing and assaulting the women of the
town, and our cops are busy setting up
speed traps around town and out on the
highway. Can we say misplaced priorities?
This nut running around Garnett trying to grab the women. Women should
park their cars in well-lit areas and
lock them and should be escorted to
their parked cars if possible after dark.
New Deal Deniers deny as global warming stalls
There are few things sadder than the
climate denier. He ignores the data and
neglects the latest science. His rhetoric and
policy proposals are dangerously disconnected from reality. He cant recalibrate to take
account of the latest evidence because, well,
hes a denier.
The new climate deniers are the liberals
who, despite their obsession with climate
change, have managed to miss the biggest
story in climate science, which is that there
hasnt been any global warming for about a
decade and a half.
Over the past 15 years air temperatures
at the Earths surface have been flat while
greenhouse-gas emissions have continued to
soar, The Economist magazine writes. The
world added roughly 100 billion tons of carbon to the atmosphere between 2000 and 2010.
That is about a quarter of all the CO2 put
there by humanity since 1750. Yet, no more
warming.
The Economist has been decidedly alarmist on global warming through the years, so it
deserves credit for pausing to consider why
the warming trend it expected to continue
has mysteriously stalled out.
The deniers feel no such compunction.
A denier feels the same righteous sense of
certitude now, when warming has stopped, as
he did a decade ago. Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson recently opined that
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
sensible people accept the fact of warming
— but apparently not the fact of no-warming. He scorned those who manipulate the
data in transparently bogus ways to claim
that warming has halted or even reversed
course. Does he include James Hansen, the
famous NASA scientist, among these dastardly manipulators? No one this side of Al
Gore has warned as persistently about global
warming as Hansen. He nonetheless admits
that the five-year mean global temperature
has been flat for a decade.
None of this means that the Earth didnt
get hotter in the 20th century, or that carbon
emissions dont tend to create a warmer
planet, or that warming wont necessarily
begin again. It does mean that we know less
about the fantastically complex global climate
system than global-warming alarmists have
been willing to admit. The Economist notes
the work of Ed Hawkins of the University of
Reading in Britain. He has found that if global temperatures stay the same for a few more
years, they will fall below the range of 20
climate models. In other words, the scientific
consensus will have been proven wrong.
Why the stall in warming? According to
The Economist, maybe weve overestimated
the warming impact of clouds. Or maybe
some clouds cool instead of warm the planet.
Or maybe the oceans are absorbing heat
from the atmosphere. Although the surface
temperature of the oceans hasnt been rising, perhaps the warming is happening deep
down. James Hansen thinks new coal-fired
plants in China and India, releasing so-called
aerosols into the atmosphere that act to suppress warming, may be partly responsible for
the stasis in temperatures.
Hey, but dont worry. The science is all
settled.
What is beginning to seem more likely is
that the sensitivity of the global climate to
carbon emissions has been overestimated. If
so, the deniers will be the last to admit it.

Review.
Nuclear matters: When politics get even worse
Lets face it — too much of the coverage
we provide from Washington is inside baseball, easily ignored by those who live in the
real world. Sometimes, though, this stuff matters. A case in point is the decision by Harry
Reid and his Democratic gaggle to invoke the
nuclear option. Its called that because Reid
and his partisan majority blew up the traditional filibuster. Utilizing a parliamentary
maneuver, they were able to circumvent the
usual two-thirds vote necessary to change
the rules and used a simple majority to do
away with the biggest delaying tactic that has
helped define the deliberative United States
Senate.
Republicans are having a cow. Youll
regret this, sputtered Minority Leader Mitch
McConnell. The solution to this problem is
at the ballot box. He was trying to make the
obvious point that if the Rs take over, its the
Ds who will have lost their power to stop a
conservative agenda. Unwittingly, however,
McConnell was offering a justification for
doing away with a stalling tactic that he and
his partisans were using to thwart the winner
of the last election. The voters choose who
will head the nation. Last time around, that
was Barack Obama, meaning he gets to select
the ones to fill openings on the federal bench,
and also who will head the departments and
agencies of his administration.
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
BOB FRANKEN, King Features Syndicate
Forgive the civics refresher, but while the
Constitutions advise-and-consent power provides the Senate an ability to block nominees,
it is supposed to be used sparingly. The key
word is consent, but at an unprecedented level, the Republicans were filibustering judicial and executive appointments put
forth by President Obama. It came to a head
when they blocked three of his choices to
fill appeals-court openings. The Republicans
were daring Reid to make the nuclear move
— in truth, they triple-dared him, so he did.
Actually, it wasnt a complete filibuster wipeout. There is an exception for the
Supreme Court nominees, and it still can
be deployed to shut down legislation. That
brought some criticism from those who believe
that the GOP agenda is all about obstruction.
If Barack Obama asked Congress to approve
a Happy Thanksgiving resolution, it would be
filibustered in the upper chamber
Republicans vow revenge. They have plenty of tools for continuing the gridlock. The
Senate rules are packed with delaying tactics.
So they can retaliate against the nuclear
option with the death of a thousand cuts.
The budget deals that need to be done, for
instance, can be sunk if they simply refuse
to negotiate. Depending on how vindictive
they choose to be, we could be facing another
government shutdown or debt-ceiling crisis.
If youre wondering just what all this has to
do with running the country, the answer is
nothing.
Those on the right point out that when
theyve held the power, the liberals have
also embraced procedural blockades. But
the Republicans have reached new highs. Or
would it be lows? In the ugly world of politics,
things rarely improve — they get worse.
Inside baseball? Yes, it is, but the game
affects all of us. If the legislative branch can
substitute political pettiness for law-making,
we will continue to deteriorate. Thats not
what a democracy is supposed to be.
Dont walk alone and be sure to lock your
houses and garage doors.
In answer to the person who asked if
we think our kids are being prepared
properly for junior high and high school
I can say that yes, I believe our kids are
being prepared properly for junior high
and high school. I have had two children
go through Garnett schools and are now
in college and one that is currently in
school. I think they are well-prepared
and on their way to being productive
adults. I think the school can only do
so much for your kids and the rest is up
to parents and primarily a two-parent
home where teachers are supported and
education and good school performance
is something that is praised. Was your
question being sarcastic about our local
schools or were you really just curious?
Thank you.
Its been almost 20 years since they passed
the gun free school zones law and when
have all the school shootings happened?

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, December 3, 2013
LOCAL
1983: Businesses report good sales
Dec. 9, 2003
The local company which
hopes to build a $36 million ethanol plant in Garnett hosted an
open house for potential investors Monday night, two days
before the Dec. 10 date when
the organization hopes to have
its final round of individual
investors tallied for the project.
Investors had put the effort at
just over $10 million in raised
equity, still $8 million short of
the target to raise half the construction cost of the plant in
owner equity.
Data compiled by the Kansas
Action for Children showed
some positive changes for children and youth in Anderson
County, but the county rates
among the worst 10 percent in
the state with regards to child
poverty and reported and substantiated instances of child
abuse and neglect. Statistics
revealed 166 reported cases of
abuse and neglect in the county with 40 being substantiated.
There are about 2,124 people
in Anderson County under the
age of 18.
Dec. 9, 1993
While Anderson County
struggles under hard economic
facts like 6.4 percent unemployment, decreasing population,
decreasing retail business for
its local stores, and increasing number of resident applications for public assistance,
its banks contain a cache of
deposits large enough to rank
it in the top 20 of 105 counties
in the state in bank deposit
dollars per its population. With
such a financial distinction, it
may seem ironic that Anderson
County also has a reputation
by Vickie Moss
Staff Writer
for having a traditionally high
number of Welfare-related
social assistance cases.
If you dont know the county
roads, you might need to set
aside more time to drive up
U.S. 169 toward Osawatomie
in coming months, thanks to
a construction project that
began Tuesday. Highway 169
between Garnett and Greeley
is now closed until August
1994 to replace the bridge
over the South Pottawatomie
Creek at Greeley. The bridge
is just southwest of Greeley.
The official detour for the project routes traffic to Ottawa to
Kansas Highway 68, rejoining
Highway 169 north of Paola.
Dec. 5, 1983
It seems the day after
Thanksgiving marks the beginning of the hustle and bustle
of the Christmas shopping.
Recently Garnett merchants
commented on how they felt
this seasons hustle and bustle is going. The manager of
the Ben Franklins Store in
Garnett reported business is
going real well this year and
reported above normal layaway. Toys are the hottest selling item but to pick out one
(sale item) would be hard. Ben
Franklin had nine of the now
famous Cabbage Patch dolls the
last week in November but sold
them all the first day they were
put out on the shelves. A Sears
representative said the dolls
were a hot item and we cant
get any of them.
Preparations are scheduled to begin to start sawing a
trench in the bedrock to lay the
base for the dam at the Cedar
Creek Reservoir. The workers
have dug a trench 14 feet deep
to dig to the bedrock at the
dame site, and another trench
one foot deep will be sawed
into the rock. They key trench
will tie the bedrock to the dam
structure.
Dec. 6, 1913
Now that the wells and
cisterns are replenished, the
ponds filled and the creeks running, it will be but a day or so,
no doubt, until the water will
be turned on in Garnett. It is
reported that this will be done
Monday, but we are not authorized to say that it will be that
soon. However, it will be soon.
There is quite an addition to
the water in Crystal Lake since
the rains this week, and the
springs are sending constant
streams in, so the drought is
surely broken. Everybody
is rejoicing, none more than
the hundreds of farmers who
have been hauling water several miles in some instances for
stock and for house use. During
the past week, over 3 and one
half inches of rain have fallen.
Its been a long, hard pull, but
we got through all right and
everything is lovely now.
Historical Society meets at Welda
The Anderson County
Historical Society met at the
Welda Community Building on
11-7-13, at 6:30 p.m., hosted by
Wayne Eccelfield.
President Kristie Kinney
introduced Richard Miller
who shared the history of
the Benjamin family in the
Washington Township area.
Ralph and Julia Benjamin
moved to Anderson County
from Osage County, 108 years
ago in 1905. They raised 13 children in the area, Dite, Homer,
Ida, Ivan, Ollie, Ethel, Emiline,
Mabel, Otto, Gene, Dorothy,
Helen, and Howard. Numerous
descendants remain in the
Benjaminville neighborhood.
Richard described growing up,
surrounded by such a large
extended family. He especially
remembers how the families
shared labor for farm work
during haying and silo filling
times. Although most of their
time was spent with chores he
recalls many fun times together.
The town of Hyatt was established on December 18, 1856,
with the goal of being the county seat when Anderson County
was organized.
Numerous
businesses located in the new
town site. It was abandoned
in 1859 after losing the county
seat to Garnett, not securing a
railroad line through the town,
severe illnesses, and the opportunity to move on to the Pikes
Peak gold rush.
Birch Switch siding along
the railroad southwest of
Garnett gave rise to the name
Birch Switch Dynasty.
Richard was quick to point out
that the Benjamin family had
this dynasty long before those
duck men used the name.
He described the use of the
WYE along Birch Switch, used
to turn steam engines around,
and shared photographs that
showed the WYE. The grade
on the railroad in this area
often made it necessary to use
4 steam engines to pull a loaded
train.
Philip Strain, of Strains
Studio in Garnett, photographed a panoramic scene
at the Dite Benjamin oil well
in 1923. Popcorn Johnny, an
individual who was well known
throughout the area for selling popcorn where crowds
gathered, is visible in the photo
of the gushing well. This site
is near the intersection of
Missouri and 1600 Roads.
Richard shared many family genealogy resources, art
work by family members, and
photo albums. He humorously
described the fate of ancestors who came to America on
the Mayflower and met some
unpleasant circumstances in
the colonies.
Thirty three members and
guests enjoyed a potluck dinner prior to the business meeting and program. Those interested in the preservation of
Anderson County History are
invited to become a member of
the society. There are multiple
opportunities for volunteering as museum docents, guiding museum and Harris House
tours, responding to genealogy
inquiries, presenting historical programs, serving as board
members or officers, or maintenance at the museum and
Harris House. For more information, contact Kristie Kinney,
president.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 12-03-2013 / Photo Submitted
This small grinding bowl and pestle was found in Tennessee 25 years ago. Native Americans
used the item to grind or smash food or various medicinal herbs, or for the herbs, berries or
minerals used in their paints.
Grinding bowl, pestle is Native
American artifact from Tennessee
Im sorry this is not a
picture of Kansas Native
American artifacts, but
rather a picture of Native
American artifacts I found at
a Army Corps of Engineers
project in Tennessee 25 years
ago.
They are a small grinding
bowl and pestle (grinding or
smashing tool).
In fact it
could have easily been used
as a paint mixing pot.
The bowl shaped artifact
was often referred to as a
mortar or cup. It is easy to
speculate that the mortar and
pestle were used in grinding
food substances, such as small
amounts of salt. It is rather
difficult to imagine why the
Native American would have
used the mortar and pestle
by Henry Roeckers
Contact (785) 448-6244
for local archeology information.
in grinding food substances
other than, perhaps, various
medicinal herbs.
The mortar and pestle were
generally made of sandstone.
The mortar was usually about
the size of a small bowl and,in
fact, looks much like a small
cereal bowl. The depression
area in the center will be hollowed out and smooth from
the circular grinding of the
pestle. The pestle is oblong
and may be somewhat larger
on the grinding end as compared with the handheld end.
The pestle is also often made
of sandstone.
The mortar, cup or bowl
can be truly identified as a
stone artifact if it is discolored
by the various substances for
which it was used. Certain
herbs, berries, or minerals
very clearly left permanent,
stained discoloration in bowls
or cups. For example, minerals, vegetation, and berries
were mixed with animal fat to
make the various paints used
by the Native Americans.
If one looks closely you
can see my bowl is stained.

Its a Christmas Parade
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 12-03-2013 / Vickie Moss
The championship Garnett youth football team took part in the 43rd annual Garnett Area Chamber of Commerce Christmas
Parade and downtown lighting ceremony Saturday, Nov. 30.
When your kids make their Christmas
wish list, check it twice for safety
Topeka This time of year,
families are bombarded with
catalogs, television commercials, store displays and online
advertising for toys and gadgets. When considering items
on your childs list, make sure
you and other gift-givers are
safety savvy before you hit the
stores this holiday season.
Selecting Toys
When choosing toys for children, pay close attention to
warning labels and manufacturers guidelines. More than
3 billion toys and games are
sold in the United States every
year, and most of them are very
safe. Warning labels and manufacturers instructions tell you
how to use the product safely.
If the manufacturer sets a
minimum age or other restrictions, theres a reason, said
Cherie Sage, Safe Kids Kansas.
A label reading Not appropriate for children under 3 may be
present because the toy poses
a choking hazard, not because
its too difficult for a 2-yearold.
If you buy toys secondhand
or get hand-me-downs, visit
www.recalls.gov to make sure
the toy hasnt been recalled
for safety reasons. Sign up for
email alerts on the Consumer
Product Safety Commission
(CPSC) website www.cpsc.gov
or download the CPSC Recalls
app to your smart phone to
keep up-to-date on toy recalls
beyond the holiday itself. If a
new toy comes with a product
registration card, mail it in so
the manufacturer can contact
you if the item is ever recalled.
Report safety concerns about
toys to the CPSC at 800-638-2772
or www.cpsc.gov. Your experience could be part of a pattern
that might lead to a recall.
Safe Kids Kansas also recommends:
Make sure to buy ageappropriate toys. Consider your
childs age when purchasing a
toy or game. Its worth a second
to read the instructions and
warning labels to make sure
its just right for your child.
Avoid building sets with small
magnets for children. Keep rare
earth magnets and adult desktop magnet toys out of reach
and out of sight of children.
Magnets are extremely dangerous if swallowed.
Identify dangerous small
parts. Look at the product labeling for age recommendations.
Use a small parts tester or cardboard tube from a roll of toilet
paper to identify choking hazards. Do not let small children
play with anything that can
fit into one of these cylinders.
Products that grow larger when
placed in water must be kept
out of reach of children. These
products can be swallowed
and become lodged internally,
requiring surgical removal.
Keep batteries out of sight
and out of reach. Lithium button batteries are coin-sized
batteries that can easily be
swallowed by children and
can come from many devices,
such as remote controls. Other
places you may them are: singing greeting cards, watches,
remotes, bathroom scales, and
flameless candles. If a child
swallows a battery, go to the
emergency room immediately.
Tell doctors and nurses that
your child may have swallowed
a battery. Do not let the child
eat or drink until a chest x-ray
can determine if a battery is
present. Do not induce vomiting. Call the National Battery
Ingestion Hotline at 202-6253333 for additional treatment
information.
Buy the proper safety gear.
Riding toys account for the
greatest number of toy-related
injuries. If you purchase a riding toy, such as a scooter, skateboard, in-line skates or bicycle,
remember that the gift isnt
complete without a helmet and
appropriate protective gear.
Inspect toys. Check childrens
play areas regularly for broken
toys and dispose of them. Do
not let young children play with
toys that have straps, cords or
strings longer than 7 inches,
due to the risk of strangulation.
Actively supervise children. Caregivers should actively supervise children playing
with any toy that has small
parts, moving parts, electrical
or battery power, cords, wheels
or any other potentially risky
component. Simply being in the
same room as your child is not
necessarily supervising. Active
supervision means giving your
child your full attention.
Practice proper storage.
Teach children to put toys away
after playing to help prevent
falls and make sure toys intended for younger children are
stored separately from those
for older children.
Shop Safely
It is estimated that more than
20,000 children ages five and
under are injured by shopping
carts each year in the United
States, according to the CPSC.
Falls are the most common
cause of shopping-cart related
injury in children of this age
group, accounting for 83 percent of all injuries. Tip-overs
and children colliding with the
shopping cart are other causes
of injury.
Top five ways to avoid shopping-cart injuries:
1. Never leave your child
unattended in a shopping cart
and stay close to the cart at all
times.
2. If you are placing your
child in the shopping cart seat,
always use a harness or the
safety belt provided to restrain
your child.
3. Never place your own
infant carrier on top of a shopping cart.
4. Do not let your child ride
in the cart basket, under the
basket, on the sides or front of
the cart.
5. Use the shopping carts that
have a wheeled child carrier
that is permanently attached
and made part of the shopping
cart. Some of these models look
like cars or benches attached to
the shopping cart.

TOPEKA Kansas Department
of Health and Environment
(KDHE) last week released
a report on the health of
Kansans Veterans. The review
of 2011 Behavioral Risk Factor
Surveillance System data shows
many differences in health conditions between veterans and
civilians and between younger
veterans (18 – 64 years old) and
older veterans (65 years old and
older). Veterans are defined as
those who reported they had
ever served on active duty in the
U.S. Armed Forces, either in the
regular military or in a National
Guard or military reserve unit.
The data show that younger
veterans are more diverse than
older veterans. Younger veterans are less likely to be nonHispanic white and more likely
to be female. Younger veterans
had a higher prevalence of having health care coverage but
also had a higher prevalence of
many health issues including
overweight/obesity, disability,
depression, hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes and
heart attack than civilians 18 – 64
years old.
The
health
differences
between senior veterans (65
and older) and senior civilians
were much less pronounced.
Senior veterans had a higher
prevalence of the following conditions: cancer, coronary heart
disease, diabetes, heart attack,
overweight/obesity and stroke
as compared to senior civilians.
More veterans 18 – 64 years
old were diagnosed with depression, anxiety or post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) as compared to senior veterans. The
percentage of veterans who
have received psychological or
psychiatric treatment in the past
year was more than three times
higher among younger veterans
as compared to senior veterans.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, December 3, 2013

Your health insurance coverage:
A checklist of items to consider
TOPEKAWith
health
insurance in the national
spotlight, Kansas consumers
have much to think about
in providing themselves and
their loved ones with potential coverage.
Whether you have insurance coverage through your
employer (as more than half
of Kansans do) or you have
to provide it for yourself and
your family (which a little
more than five percent of
our states citizens do), its
important to think about
what you want and what you
need.
Below is a list of ideas
that are good conversation
starters for considering your
coverage.
Make a list of the personal information for yourself
and family, including Social
Security Numbers, bank
account information and the
amount of income from your
W-2.
Assess your prescription
drug requirements, including name (brand or generic)
and dosage. Does the health
insurance plan you are considering cover your required
drugs?
Review your financial
condition. Are you able to
pay the deductible when at
your providers office, and
how much would you be comfortable paying? Do you want
a health insurance plan with
low or high deductibles and
copays? Remember, a low
deductible will increase your
monthly premiums, while
a high deductible will have
COMMISSIONERS
CORNER
by Sandy Praeger,
Kansas Insurance
Commissioner
lower monthly premiums.
Know that you are able
to purchase health insurance
policies outside of the Health
Insurance Marketplace. But
if you purchase a health
insurance policy through
the marketplace, you may
pay a lower rate based on
your income, and you might
be eligible for tax credits or
subsidies.
Evaluate your health
needs. Do you have any
chronic health conditions,
and/or do you need to visit
a physician frequently?
Does the health insurance
policy cover the services you
require?
Talk to your providers office to make sure the
office is part of the insurance health plan network.
Be sure to include hospitals
and other providers such as
laboratory services. Include
any specialty physicians or
facilities.
Penalties for no coverage
are set to come into play. If
you do not have health insurance by March 31, 2014, you
may be responsible to pay a

Learn if your employer
will be offering health insurance and if the plan meets
the essential minimum coverage provision.
Allow time. Enlist help
if necessary through a navigator, an agent, the toll-free
federal hotline number of
1-800-318-2596 or by calling the Kansas Insurance
Department at 1-800-4322484.
Call the Kansas Insurance
Department to verify if an
agent is licensed to sell policies on the marketplace; if
a navigator is certified and
has gone through training
to help you; or if you have
questions regarding policies
or coverage, whether offered
through the marketplace or
outside it.
Evaluate the policy after
you have received it to make
sure it is the policy that you
want.
Go online to the Kansas
Insurance Departments
InsureKS.org website to look
at the information there that
might be useful if you are
looking to enroll on the federal health insurance marketplace. There you can use
a cost calculator and see rate
estimates.
Getting the health insurance you need and want can
be a chore, I admit. It means
taking personal responsibility to learn about the subject
and applying the information to your situation. While
time-consuming, it is important for yourself and your
family.
Ho ho hold on before sending
money to people you havent met
The perfect puppy for a
spouse, a car priced just right
for your teenager. Sales and
special offers typically increase
during the holidays, and scammers are also poised to try to
steal peoples hard-earned
cash. Western Union and Better
Business Bureau are equipping
consumers with important tips
to avoid falling for a scammers
tricks when shopping for holiday gifts.
Scam artists prey on consumers desire to make loved
ones happy with special gifts
during the holidays. They
use this impulse to overcome
the victims reasoning, telling the victim that he or she
must act quickly, said Carrie
Hurt, President and CEO of
the Council of Better Business
Bureaus. Scam artists often
sound so convincing that victims dont feel the need to check
out their real qualifications. Its
always best to deal with estab-
lished organizations. Rescue a
puppy from a caring shelter or
buy that car from a legitimate
dealer.
What else can consumers do?
Visit BBB Scam Stopper (bbb.
org/scam), a site launched by
Western Union and BBB to help
consumers reduce their chances of becoming a victim of a
scam. Western Union and BBB
also remind consumers never
to send a money transfer to an
individual you have not met in
person.
Money transfer is a
great way to send money
quickly and conveniently to
friends and loved ones, said
Shelley Bernhardt, Director
of Consumer Protection at
Western Union. However, it
is not intended for use when
doing business with someone
you have not met face-to-face.
It is particularly important
to use caution when bidding
on items using an online auc-
tion. Buyers are told the seller
only accepts money transfers
for payment. The seller tells
the buyer to put the transaction
in a fictitious name, falsely convincing the victim this protects
their money until the goods or
services are received. The seller retrieves the funds and the
merchandise never arrives.
Much in the same way you
shouldnt send cash through
the mail to a complete stranger,
dont use a money transfer service to pay for a product you
havent seen, from an individual you have not met. For more
