GREELEY A police pursuit of three stolen cars
from a Chanute car dealership raced through
Anderson County Friday
night, resulting in two
abandoned blockade vehicles left on local highways
by the escaping suspects,
one of which ended in a
crash with a county sheriffs deputy.
The suspects escaped
the pursuit, but gave up all
three of the vehicles they
stole.
Traffic on U.S. Highway
169 about four miles northeast of Garnett was tied up
for some three and one-half
hours beginning shortly
before midnight Friday as
officers searched the area
for a suspect or suspects

Nagging rain pattern defines
2019 in Anderson County with
damages and delays
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT It may have felt like it at
times, but it wasnt just us.
As Anderson County residents struggled with oodles of rain, wild temperature swings and constant damage and
repair cycles to county roads, the rest of
the Plains and Midwest states were in a
similar boat.
Still, Anderson County residents
fought the weather at what seemed like
every turn. For the second year in a row,
weather predominantly a moisture pattern that ran consistently through hot
or cold seasonal weather topped all the
other news in the county.
Though the rain defined 2019 locally,
it really began in the last half of 2018
after drought plagued the area earlier
that year. This year, rain cancelled local
events like Garnetts Cornstock outdoor
concert and forced a postponement of a
Garnett Lions Club fundraiser motorcycle ride; it flooded lakeside camping
areas at Cedar Valley Reservoir and
damaged drainage channels there. At
least two storms turned Maple Street in
Garnett
And those were minor inconveniences compared to its impact on agriculture,
when storms seemed to fire up each time
a farmer started his tractor to plant or
harvest.
If farmers were lucky enough to find
space in between rainstorms to work a
field, most of the time they had to avoid
their lowest-lying ground because it was
too muddy. If they did get those areas
planted, they often got covered up by
standing water later and laid bare. When
time came to harvest in both the summer
and fall, farmers had to jog in between
showers and a few days field drying time.
But perhaps nothing in the county
fared worse than the countys network

Five-member city commission issue
in Garnett proves tempest in a teapot
GARNETT It was one of the biggest stories of the year in large part
because so many Garnett voters
thought it was no big deal.
The Garnett City Commissions
flirtation with expanding from a
three member to a five member
commission generated lots of news
stories and anxiety among the
local press, city officials and staff,
and a handful of petition signers
who pushed the issue to a vote.
But in the end, half the people who
received ballots in the mail to have
their say on the issue didnt even
bother to return them.
It was a banner that was carried by Brigitte Brecheisen-Huss,
the citys newest commissioner,
who mentioned the option in some
of her earliest comments after
taking her post and then pressed
ahead with a formal proposal and
even a poem about the issue she
penned for the citys newsletter.
Huss maintained the Kansas Open
Meetings act was too restrictive
on a three-member commission
because it doesnt allow two commissioners to confer on city business outside of a public meeting
because their number constitutes
a quorum. A five-member body
would allow two commissioners
to discuss that business outside
a formal meeting. Commissioners
agreed to pose the question in an
advisory vote on the November
2018 ballot and about 1,000 city voters had their say 53 percent to

and Grippando beat, then pistol whipped and shot Drimmel
before fleeing.
In
court
testimony,
Grippando admitted to pistol whipping Drimmel but
said the weapon discharged
accidently when Drimmel
was shot. The investigation revealed Drimmel was
homeless at the time of the
shooting and may have owed
Grippando money for marijuana. Buchanan County
Prosecutor Ron Holliday said
the state lacked sufficient evidence to prove the shooting
was intentional, which led to a
plea deal of a 15 year sentence.
Both
Drimmel
and
Grippando had previous
criminal records in Missouri.

of rural gravel roads. Rushing
water cut giant ruts in hillside
roads and eroded ditches, some
to the point of being impassable by traffic. Gushing water
around bridges sometimes
washed gravel away from their
ramps, leaving the concrete
bridge intact but no way to
reach it. Water uprooted trees
and snags, slamming them into
bridges or sometimes leaving
them deposited on the bridge
and blocking the road itself.
Rain-sogged banks gave way
and let trees fall over creeks
and sometimes over roadways.
Through it all, county road
department workers did their
best to assess each new days
damage, set traffic priorities,
plan around new obstacles and
work one set of problems at a
time before the next weeks
storm brought new ones.
Anderson County has over
1,000 miles of serviceable rural
roads enough to stretch from
Kansas City, Mo., deep into
Mexico if laid end-to-end.
Counties in Eastern Kansas
typically pick up around 40
inches of annual precipitation
Anderson Countys recorded annual total averages just
over 41 inches. Rains through
November swamped that normal by nearly 12 inches, with
similar numbers throughout
the region. Neosho and Labette
counties saw 20 inches of additional rain over the year.
At the same time, a patch of
counties in southwest Kansas,
where precip averages a little
less than 20 inches per year,
were a couple of inches under
normal for the year.

CITY…
FROM PAGE 1
47 percent or about a 50 vote
margin to add another two
commissioners.
The issue became a line in
the sand between Huss and
commissioner Greg Gwin,
who himself said he had no
passion for the plan but opted
to follow the wishes of the
electorate and commissioner Jody Cole, who saw the
move as a waste of payroll and
a dilution of decision making ability. The standoff got
hotter when Huss and Gwin
overruled Cole in a vote to
implement the plan, and Cole
in turn launched a successful
petition drive to put the issue
back on the election ballot
this time as a binding vote.
Tension over the issue grew
when Huss and Gwin voted
to oppose the counsel of city
attorney Terry Solander, who
said the Kansas Constitutions
requirements for a charter
election could not be met by
conducting the vote by mail
ballot and instead had to be
conducted at the polls. Gwin
and Huss wanted to maximize
the opportunity for voters to
take part and pressed ahead
with the mail ballot at an
eventual cost of some $8,200.
The final tally was 494
against, 285 in favor 241 total
votes fewer than those cast in
the initial advisory vote the
previous year. Of 2,287 ballots
mailed to voters registered in
the City of Garnett some 400
were returned as undeliverable and 1,108 (according to
initial totals) apparently were
ignored.
The first and most obvious
takeaway was that though a
handful of fans on either side
of the city debate as well as
city leadership were swept
up in the question, by far the
majority of city voters didnt
much care. A full seventeen
percent of those on the voting rolls hadnt even updated their voter registration to
reflect their new addresses.
Why so many either changed
their minds from the previous
November vote or just decided
against participating remains
a mystery.
The other easy observation
was that absent some burning,
divisive city issue as a motivator, residents are content with
a three-member city commission and the restrictions
placed on it by open meetings
laws. Besides costing more
money, the expansion would
also have opened the door to
any number of unknowns for
city policy by nearly doubling
the personalities on the board,
not to mention the nagging
question of the number and
quality of candidates who
would have been interested
in those seats considering the
typical lack of broad interest
in present commissioner post
elections.
Regardless of their reasoning, city voters chose not to go
there.

born to Eugene and Margaret
(Martinac) Glenn. She grew
up in the Strawberry Hill
neighborhood of Kansas City,
Kansas, graduating from
Washington High School with
the class of 1959. In January
1961, Madeleine was united in
marriage to Jerome A. Klein at
St. Patricks Catholic Church,
Kansas City, Kansas. Their
union was blessed with four
children. Madeleine and Jerry
made their home in Wyandotte
County near Kansas City,
Kansas, later moving to Piper
where they lived for many
years. Madeleine was able to be
home with her children while
they were young while she also
worked as a freelance artist
and sculptor. Years after her
divorce, Madeleine moved to
Garnett, in 1999. This afforded
her the opportunity to spend
countless hours with her
grandchildren. Madeleines
Christian faith was the cornerstone of her daily life. She loved
sharing the word of God with
her family and all the lives she
touched. She will be fondly
remembered for her loving and
selfless nature, giving more of
herself than she ever expected
in return.
Madeleine was preceded
in death by her parents and
one brother-in-law, Robert
McBratney.
She is survived by her children, Kimberlee Sims and
husband, Jerry of Kansas City,
Kansas, Eric Klein and wife,
Rhonda of Garnett, Kurt Klein
and wife, Cara of Garnett, and
Eileen Burns and husband,
Mike of Garnett; eight granddaughters, Jamie Greenlee,

times we are ungrateful to God
for what hes given to us and
want more. We feel that God
owes us. He doest owe us, but
gives us everything. Each day
is one more gift from God, and
we should live to please him.
A gift from God to be lived For
God. Colossians 1:9-14
Pastor Chase Riebel gave
the sermon over Christmas!.
The angel brought the Good
News to the Shepherds, telling them about the birth of
Jesus. This Good News would
bring joy to all people, and
joy is an essential element of
Christmas. Jesus was born into
a bad world, full of oppression
and cruelty. Romans 1:21-32
tells us that God gave the people over to their sins, to do
things outside of the way God
tells us. The people knew God,
but didnt worship him. Jesus
was born to save us from this
sin. We are provided opportunities to spread the good news.
Jesus said that he was the
Light of the World. Not like a
Christmas candle that is easily
blown out, or like Christmas
lights that blink off and on,
but a bright and shining perpetual light that shines in our
dark world. Be a messenger in
your community, work place…
everywhere you go. Accept the

AUGUST 15, 1934 – DECEMBER 18, 2019
Jay D. Bodenhamer, age
85, of Greeley, Kansas, passed
away on Wednesday, December
18, 2019, at the Anderson
County Hospital in Garnett,
Kansas.
Jay Dean Bodenhamer was
born on August 15, 1934, in
Greeley, Kansas. Jay was born
to Hylas Luther and Leona
(Reed) Bodenhamer.
On May 29, 1960, Jay was
united in marriage to Betty
Pimper at Iola, Kansas.
Funeral services were held
at Monday, December 30,
2019, at the Feuerborn Family
Funeral Service Chapel,
Garnett, Kansas. Burial followed in the Greeley Cemetery,
Greeley, Kansas.
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 loose 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 to 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
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
ANDERSON
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
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.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, December 31, 2019
OPINION
2019 was a very opinionated year
It was a pretty busy year in the opinion business.
From new and irritating examples of political correctness to presidential impeachments
to Greta Thunberg Halloween Costumes, there
was a lot to talk about around the dinner table
(or on Facebook) in 2019 and some of you who
took part are actually friends.
The year was barely out of the blocks when
Proctor & Gambles Gillette razor division
decided to take up the PC banner of the #metoo
movement and give all of their stubble producing customers a scolding about toxic masculinity which I guess means being a testosterone
meanie to women, bullying other men and
maybe yelling at the TV when the Chiefs blow a
third down play. My opinion? The problem has
nothing to do with too much masculinity- its
about not enough masculinity
Failed masculinity leads men to dodge
their responsibilities and leave chaos in its place.
Today one in four fathers lives apart from his
children. Kids who grow up without a father
are more likely to be depressed, more likely to
be incarcerated, to be affected by teen pregnancy
and to live in poverty. Seventy-one percent of
high school dropouts are fatherless. Had Gillette
wanted to make a more poignant statement about
toxic masculinity it would have spotlighted the
greatest pop culture offender rap music and
statistical data within the black community so
rife with fatherless homes
Then there was the continuing issue of communities across Kansas and the Midwest fighting the development of corporate wind farms,
and the stunning lack of input from landowners
whove allowed construction of these tax-funded monstrosities on their properties. The secret
of course is in the gag order, or a clause in the
lease that ensures the lease holder never says
a cross word about the structure, the company
or the industry at the risk of legal action. Its
particularly abhorrent in view of how little
research can be done on the health impacts of
wind farms due to all the restricted communication
A full-on epidemiological study however
will probably never be done one that correlates
the common symptoms Pierpont identified and
possible causes like setback from a turbine and
what aspects of exposure to measure because
the bulk of the study subjects are all gagged
Also early in the year I tried to convince
Jeff Bezos of Amazon fame to build his new
company headquarters in Anderson County
after New York Congresswoman Alexandria
Occasional-Cortex rallied socialist goons to
scuttle Amazon plan to build the new HQ in
New York
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
(ital.) weve got room heavens,
weve got tons of land around here. You needed 345 acres in New York? Weve got chunks
with twice that much and you only have to go
through one gate to get there. You can even
put a launch facility for your Blue Origin space
transportation company right across the road
from the HQ. Seriously weve got land to
spare. And its cheap way cheaper than what
they were going to stick you for in New York
I havent heard back from Mr. Bezos yet, but
when I do Ill let you know.
It also stuck in my craw this year that we
keep funneling more and more money into education in Kansas, but were not seeing much if
any improvement in our students
So Kansas now funds K-12 at $4 billion a
year thats $1 billion more than it did for the
2013- 14 school year. Since 2000, overall spending
on K-12 education has increased over 75 percent.
Weve put the pedal to the metal. But over that
time period when hikes in Kansas school funding
have nearly doubled the rate of inflation, our
kids performance on the National Assessment of
Educational Progress has been flat… If we were
driving a car, wed swear theres a disconnect
between the foot pedal and the engine. In fact,
wed limp that lemon right into the mechanics
shop to find out what the problem is
A motorcycle ride in Greensburg, Ks., back
in July inspired me to assess the status of the
town that got pretty much leveled by the 2007
tornado, and the massive amounts of federal and insurance company dollars and other
support from all kinds of green industry types
injected there to remake the city as an environmentalists mecca. The only problem the
half of the population that fled the city after the
disaster have never returned
In a better world, the money that flooded
into the town would have been used to develop productive rural industry feed yards like

Resolve to go on a New Year brain noise diet
If youre like most of us, you overindulged
a bit too much in 2019. No, not on calories
(well, maybe those too!), but on noise. Thats
the name for the dizzying onslaught of information from work emails, app notifications,
the 24/7 news cycle, social media updates,
and other forms of screen time that leaves us
unable to focus, listen, or do deep work.
A smidgen of noise now and again is okay.
(We all have our guilty pleasures!) But consuming it mindlessly, all day long, is as bad
as keeping a bag of chips, a monster-size soda,
and a can of frosting at our desk and reaching
for them every few minutes.
Too many empty brain calories wont make
you fat but they will make you mentally anemic. Noise keeps you in a constant state of
distraction. And like actual junk food, a highnoise digital diet is addictive, yet it never
satisfies or nourishes you.
The real problem with giving into noise
temptation isnt what youre doing; its what
youre not doing. Youre tuning out what
really matters. Youre skimming the surface.
When youre scrolling Facebook, for instance,
you arent learning a new language, refining
that career-changing presentation, or engaging with your kids in a meaningful way.
The new year is the perfect time to put
yourself on a noise diet. To help with your calorie count, lets take a look at what noise junk

Trump aims for sympathy as the Victim President
President Donald Trumps impeachment
letter to Nancy Pelosi is nothing if not sincere.
The missive establishes, if there were any
doubt, that Trump hates impeachment with
a passion, and he expresses his contempt in
his own inimitable voice — scornful, hyperbolic, colloquial, on brand (Russia Witch Hunt,
Do Nothing Democrats, etc.) and, above all,
aggrieved.
Weve never had a president in the modern
era who has actively cultivated an image of
victimhood, a posture that once would have
been considered whiny and weak, but that
Trump has, through his personal alchemy,
made into a kind of political strength.
It is inevitable that a president — carrying
out impossibly weighty responsibilities, in
a very public capacity, while the opposition
and press fasten on every peccadillo — is going
to feel besieged, misunderstood or otherwise
unfairly treated.
This naturally often leads to private venting, brooding, plotting and perhaps even an
overly defensive or peevish outburst in public.
The Prussian statesman Otto von Bismarck
captured what might have been the experience
of more than one president when he reportedly told his personal assistant one morning, I
could not sleep, I hated all night.
With the exception of, most notably,
Andrew Johnson, who openly raged against
his partisan enemies, the presidential mode
is to try to keep feelings of persecution under
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
wraps. But not Trump, who unashamedly airs
these feelings and uses them as a weapon.
This has been his practice his entire adult life,
and it has worked for him. He sought to outlast
and wear down anyone in a dispute, unwilling
to be, as he sees it, cheated of money, attention
or glory.
As he put it in an interview early in the
Republican nominating contest in 2015, I am
a whiner and I keep whining and whining
until I win.
One of his favorite words is unfair.
Part of the strength of Trumps bond with
his base is that his voters feel sneered at and
attacked, and so identify with his plaints.
A passage in his letter to Pelosi that truly
lands is his bitter account of the Russian
investigation, during which the FBI abused
its powers, the most outlandish speculation
was routine fare on cable news, and a special
counsel investigation blighted the first couple
of years of his administration.
Hes right to point out that impeachment
is, essentially, an extension of this episode.
It might be the best example since Hillary
Clintons deplorables line of an affront that
both Trump and his voters can take personally.
Trump will wave the bloody flag of impeachment until November as an example of how
Democrats tried to get rid of him — and disregard his voters. The timing on the cusp of
an election year means impeachment works
perfectly for this argument both looking backward and forward; it (partly) invalidates the
2016 election, while also short-circuiting the
2020 vote.
Still, Donald Trump occupies the most powerful office in the world, bedecked with all the
majesty and pomp and circumstance that a
republic can muster. The media hangs on his
every word, and his name, long after his buildings are gone, will remain part of American
history.
This is not the profile of anyones victim,
and Trump would do more honor to the office
if he brooded more and vented less.
Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review
players out there. Where are all the good pool
tournaments around here? Theres never one
in Garnett and Ive not found one at any of the
bars or taverns in the towns around here or at
least if theyve had them they dont advertise
it. I dont have time to call them all and find
out where their tournaments are. The last one
I played at was at (name deleted) in Lawrence
last year and I havent heard of one since. There
should be some tournaments around here and
they should advertise them better. Thank you.
I read the article on the front page of the Garnett
paper and I am not looking forward to a year of
the highway being torn up south of town, but I
am sure ready to see that road put into better
shape. It is narrow and dangerous and the state
should have fixed it a long time ago. Thank you

Dec. 1989 – Garnett Armory faces
disbandment due to low staff size
December 2009
No injuries were reported
when a pickup driven by Jim
Mowal jumped the curb on the
south side of the Garnett square
and struck the ARC Thrift
Shop. The truck hit a portion of
the building which was awaiting repair from damages it had
sustained in the July 2009 wind
storm.
December 1999
A member of the Colony City
Council has asked Anderson
County Attorney Fred Campbell
to investigate the city government for what he says are
violations of the Kansas Open
Records Act, Kansas Open
Meetings Act, and improprieties dealing with purchases for
city work projects. Councilman
Riley Hill said he had been corresponding with Campbell last
summer regarding his claims
that purchases were being
made which were not approved
by council members and that
his protests to council members
and to Colony City Attorney
Jesse Randall had been ignored.

across the country may result
in the closing of the units if staff
strength cannot be increased.
Garnetts Armory is included
on the list of possible disbandment. Authorized for 73 personnel completement, the unit
currently has a strength of 66
soldiers. Those units who fail
to make authorized unit size
may be disbanded. The unit is
not scheduled to be closed until
March, thereby giving local
communities time to bring the
local unit to full strength.
December 1979
A recent fish kill reported
at the North Lake in Garnett
5A
HISTORY
has been investigated and diagnosed by fisheries biologist
Johnny Ray. The fish kill was
mostly bluegill and estimated
to be between 100 and 150 fish
of good size. Most of the fish
were discovered dead or dying
near the spillway of the lake.
Ray says the die off was due
to natural mortality for this
time of year, coupled with the
recent weather conditions. The
fish examined showed bacterial lesions on their sides, but
the bacteria is present in most
waters. The sudden change in
temperature, coupled with the
bacteria, likely created a stress
on the older fish.
December 1919
It is reported that chicken
thieves and other thieves have
been getting in their work in
Garnett the past week or two.
One night, the home of K.H.
Rice was entered and about
$100 in money and a watch were
taken. A number of checks were
with the money, but these were
thrown on the floor. A number
of people in the northwest part
of the city report the theft of
chickens.
As 2019 commences, its time to thank
those that helped make the year special

Medicine research projects take on foot-and-mouth disease and African swine fever

$640,720 grant.
Both Sanderson's and
Richt's projects focus on
foot-and-mouth
disease,
which affects livestock production in many regions of
the world, including much
of Asia and Africa.
"Foot-and-mouth disease
is a high-priority transboundary disease that
would severely impair livestock health and production
if introduced to the U.S.,"
Sanderson said. "The goal
of this research is to model
outbreak and control scenarios in the U.S. to improve
preparedness and identify
optimal disease response
strategies to mitigate the
impacts of a potential footand-mouth disease outbreak."
Because the foot-andmouth disease virus is antigenically diverse, Richt said
vaccines must be matched
to target certain viral isolates to be effective.
"The objective of this
research project is to support the development of
novel foot-and-mouth disease virus vaccine candidates and determine their
immunogenicity in its natural host," Richt said. "It
will also help generate new
knowledge on next-genera-
tion vaccines for this virus,
with broader activity that
will ultimately help to prevent and control foot-andmouth disease."
Shi's research is centered on the development
of control strategies against
African swine fever virus,
a threatening swine disease
that has become a major
issue in China and other
Asian countries.

Garnett Lions Club President Dave Branton awarded Lion Jon
Pomillia a 10-year membership pin at the Lions meeting earlier this
month
Roaring into the 20s
Jackie Mundt,
Pratt County farmer and rancher
Almost 15 years ago, I gave what
would be one of the most important
speeches of my career at the National
FFA Convention. I agonized over creating the right message in hopes of
making a lasting impact.
Years later, I watched another FFA
member give the exact same speech.
It had different stories, but the main
points and overall message were the
same. I was shocked because there was
no way that this FFA member heard
my speech. Their own life experiences must have led them to the same
thoughts I had more than a decade
prior.
Maybe it is a function of human
nature or the product of a constant
struggle to achieve the things we
yearn for like success, love or the
American Dream; ideas and lessons
are rarely completely original or
unique. Humans throughout history
seem to live the same stories and plots
repeatedly.
A few weeks ago, in my preoccupation with the too-short span between
Thanksgiving and Christmas, I
received invitations to multiple
Roaring Twenties themed New Years
Eve parties. What an original idea
(at least to me), to celebrate a time
that history books hailed as a time of
whimsy, spectacle and entertainment.
Since then, this idea that history
repeats itself and has been on my mind.
What will the 2020s have in common
with the 1920s, and, more importantly,
what can be learned from a decade that
earned the moniker roaring?
This curiosity led me to a brief
internet refresher because the attributes filling my mind were all the
Great Gatsby. My search revealed
interesting facts and similarities to
modern life in this gap between World
War I and the Great Depression.
Like today, there was a presidential
election. Warren Hardings successful
campaign used the slogan Return to
Normalcy, painting a nostalgic picture of life before WW I, which ended
a year earlier. Harding called for politics that were, not the dramatic, but
the dispassionate and for people to
remember that human ills are not
curable by legislation excess of government offer(s) no substitute for quality of citizenship. President Harding
was popular until scandals came to
light after his death in 1923.
The title roaring came from all
of the excitement of the time. The
economy was growing. New products
like automobiles, moving pictures
and radio brought modernity to
the masses. Social change was prevalent with women winning the right
to vote in many states and national
debates taking place about prohibition, immigration, political corruption
and industrialization. It was the age
of Gatsby with jazz, art deco, flappers
and speakeasys. The decade has a larger than life zeitgeist.
The Roaring Twenties had a definitive and halting end. All that prosperity and liveliness faded with the crash
of the stock marketing in October of
1929 and a new era of hardship and
scarcity in the Great Depression.
Parallels exist between the two
times. Politicians are human, and
humans are fallible. Some people
still yearn for normalcy, while others desire social and political change.
Technology and the economy have
points of great growth, but that will
not last forever.
My takeaway is simple. Spirit not
circumstance can define people. Times
will be both better and worse in my
future. Be thankful for your current
blessings and live life gregariously
and fully at all times.

gateways to digital distraction
(and it is a very slippery slope).
Find an out-of-the-way place to
charge and store your devices
so youre not constantly reaching for them.
Break the idiot-box background noise habit. Its easy
to mindlessly turn on the TV
when you get home. Problem is,
its broadcasting nonstop noise
into your work-free hours.
Instead, plan a time to watch
your favorite shows. Daily
exposure to the depressing litany of pain and conflict we call
news isnt making your life
better. Neither is watching the
Fatty McButterpants episode
of King of Queens for the 50th
time. (Okay, we admit that one
is pretty funny.)
Set some work/life boundaries with the 7-to-7 rule. The
company wont crash if you
stop answering emails around
the clock. After 7:00 p.m., put
away your devices for the
night. Dont pick them up again
until 7:00 a.m. the next day.
Insist on phone-free family dinners… Yes, the kids
might whine at first, but soon
enough theyll get used to conversing with the out-of-touch
Boomers and Karens at the
table.
…and screen-free family
fun days. For instance, make
video games and TV completely off-limits every Wednesday
and Friday. Yes, even if the
kids swear they have no homework. Instead, do something
fun or productive as a family.
Play a board game. Go bowling
or skating. Cook a great meal
together. Volunteer at the local
animal shelter. Heck…maybe
even read.
Learn to save your appetite for the stuff that really
matters… Your appetite is
really your attention span,
and its your most precious
resource. Filling up on headlines, emails, and social media
means theres little left over for
doing the deep and meaningful
work that helps you reach big
goals at work and in your personal life. Before you cozy into
an hour of lurking on your exs
Facebook page, close the laptop
and find something productive
to do.
…and choose some meaningful goals to pursue. When you
are able to sharpen and aim
your focus, you can do some
pretty impressive &%$#. Want
to start a website? Get a better job? Learn to code? These
North Star goals are the best
incentive to rethink your relationship with noise and see
how your life changes.
We dont realize that very
often our addiction to information is the thing holding us
back from getting a huge promotion, becoming valedictorian, or training for a marathon,
but thats exactly what happens
as time passes. Once you think
of it this way, its so much easier to put yourself on a noise
diet. Make this the year you
take back your time and use it
to do something that matters.

Rural Education Center to receive USDA grant for
robot-facilitated distance learning in rural schools
MANHATTAN Robots will
bring more learning opportunities to rural schools in
Kansas, thanks to a national
grant to be awarded to the
Rural Education Center in
the Kansas State University
College of Education.
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture has announced
that the center will receive
a $146,031 Teaching Rural
Students STEM Through
Telepresence grant designed to
create a distance learning network to benefit rural schools,
with emphasis on science, technology, engineering and math.
Participating schools will be
Ashland High School, USD 220;
Clay Center High School, USD
379; Dighton High School, USD
482; Haviland K-8, USD 474;
Lakin High School, USD 215;
Liberal High School, USD 480;
Skyline High School, USD 438;
and Bennington High School
and Tescott High School, both
in USD 240.
"We recognize the tremendous potential that exists in
our rural students and are
excited to take the lead in infusing our district partners with
this innovative approach to
STEM education," said Debbie
Mercer, dean of the College of
Education.
The telepresence grant is
part of the USDA's $42.5 million investment in 133 distance
learning and telemedicine
projects in 37 states and two
U.S. territories. The USDA will
provide the funding through
the Distance Learning and
Telemedicine grant program.
These investments will benefit
5.4 million rural residents. In
Kansas, the grant is expected
to serve 2,360 rural students
and 37,964 residents in rural
communities.
The funds used solely
on equipment for the schools
will purchase 36 Double
Robotics robots, which allow
educators to teach and interact with their students who
are at a different location. The
schools will also receive Apple
iPads and laptops, as well as
other equipment necessary for
the project.
"This grant will allow us to
provide more STEM opportunities for student learning and
teacher professional learning,"
said Spencer Clark, K-State
associate professor of curriculum and instruction and
director of the Rural Education
Center. "We believe it could
also possibly help address
teacher vacancies in rural
schools."
Jamie Wetig, superintendent of the Ashland Public
Schools, said teacher supply
is always an issue in rural
schools and this partnership
may impact what classes his
schools can offer students.
"In an evermore challenging environment to recruit
and retain highly qualified
teachers, the ability to provide
educational opportunities in
a small and rural school may
sometimes be limited," Wetig
said. "By partnering with
the Rural Education Center
at Kansas State University,
Ashland Public Schools will
have the opportunity to work
on the forefront in redesigning education from delivery to
enhancing the curriculum. We
look forward to expanding the
opportunities afforded to USD
220 through the USDA telepresence grant and know this
is just the beginning of using
an innovative approach to support our students and our community."
Entering its fifth decade,
the Center for Rural Education
and Small Schools has been
renamed the Rural Education
Center. Along with Clark as
its director, Lori Goodson,
assistant professor of curriculum and instruction, serves as
assistant director. This is the
initial grant since Clark and
Goodson assumed center lead-
ership in spring 2019.
Approved by the Kansas
Board of Regents in 1978, the
center focuses on meeting the
needs of rural schools in the
state of Kansas. Clark and
Goodson are emphasizing
advocacy for rural schools and
their communities by pursuing
grant opportunities and other
sources of funding to support
various rural educational
projects. They will also conduct research and coordinate
other educational activities to
support the learning opportunities for rural students and
teachers. Clark and Goodson
look forward to supporting
current curriculum initiatives
and goals associated with the
Kansas State Department of
Education school redesign,
STEAM education, place-based
education and civic engagement in rural schools.
