Cuts take $67K from USD 365
Superintendent outlines
school financing, districts
options if cuts continue
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Superintendent Don
Blome offered USD 365 Board of
Education members a crash course
in school finance at a meeting
Thursday, Feb. 5, in light of proposed state funding cuts that will
cost the district $67,000 this year.
The district lost $67,000 out of
this years budget after Gov. Sam
Brownback Thursday announced he
would cut state education funding
by 1.5 percent for elementary and
secondary education, and 2 percent
for higher education to offset a state
budget deficit, to help offset lower
than estimated state income tax revenues.
Its still too early to know what
will happen to schools budgets next
year, but various likely scenarios
could lead to as much as a $700,000
loss for USD 365 next year, Blome
told board members.
Before he presented those scenarios, however, Blome recapped
the states school finance formula.
Brownback and some legislators
have called for a reworking of the
formula, in light of the budget deficit
and a Kansas Supreme Court ruling
that school funding is unconstitutional.
Blome and board member Cleon
Rickel said the problem isnt with
the formula, but with recent legislative cuts that have widened the gap
between wealthy and poor schools.
The formula itself is set up to equalize funding so that students in poor
districts have a comparably funded
education to students in wealthy
districts, Blome said.

Firefighters work to contain the blaze at Larry Bontragers Mont Ida Buggy Shop. The business, which made custom buggies
and buggy wheels, was destroyed in the fire. The cause is undetermined, but believed to be accidental.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT One year after
Garnett commissioners agreed
to a 66 percent tax hike for people who stay in local hotels,
motels and bed-and-breakfasts,
they decided to raise the tax
even higher to help pay the
costs of joining forces with
the Garnett Area Chamber of
Commerce.
At their Jan. 27 city commission meeting, city leaders agreed unanimously to
increase the transient guest tax
to 6 percent. Thats a 1 percentage point increase in the tax,
which currently is 5 percent.
City Manager Joyce Martin
proposed the increase to help
offset the costs associated with
a partnership between the
city and the local Chamber of
Commerce. At the same meeting, city leaders discussed
tional activities like updating
the website and government
access cable channel.
Martin estimated the tax
increase would generate about
$2,000 per year, which would
offset some of the citys costs
of hiring an employee. The
Chamber also would contribute
to the employees salary and
benefits.
City commissioners raised
the transient guest tax in
February 2014 from 4 percent
to 5 percent. In January 2013,
they had increased the tax from
3 percent to 4 percent.
Transient guest tax funds are
collected by hotels, motels and
bed-and-breakfast facilities.
People who rent a room are
charged the extra fee, which
goes to the city for use in promoting tourism. In theory,

Damage estimated at $200K at buggy shop ACHS students earned
Shop, contents were

afternoon rural blaze
BY VICKIE MOSS THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
MONT IDA An Amish business that makes custom buggies and buggy wheels was
destroyed by fire Thursday,
Feb. 5. Damage was estimated at about $200,000.
The Mont Ida Buggy
Shop, which was owned
by Amish craftsman Larry
Bontrager, was destroyed
in the early afternoon
Thursday. Bontrager could
not be reached for comment.
The fire appears to be
accidental, but the cause
was
ruled
undetermined, Anderson County
Emergency Management
Director J.D. Mersman said.
Foul play is not suspected.
Mersman said equipment in
the building could have been
a cause, but the extent of
damage makes it impossible
to determine how the fire
started.
A neighbor saw the fire
and reported it. Bontrager
was not at the farm at the
time. Billowing smoke from
the fire was visible from
about nine miles away.
Bontrager is a longtime
local wheelwright a maker
of buggy wheels and a
custom buggy maker. The
making of a well-crafted and
balanced wheel requires a
great deal of craftsmanship,
and Bontrager is known
throughout the area for his
skill. In past years, his shop

GARNETT – Anderson County
High School students have
earned a total of 2,408 college
credit hours since 2009, according to a report from Neosho
County Community College.
Through a cooperative education program with NCCC,
Anderson County students
can take college courses and
earn credit hours that can help
them when they transfer to a
community college or university. NCCC President Dr. Brian
Inbody gave a report on the program at the USD 365 Board of
ing welding and HVAC certification programs at Garnett and
nursing programs at Ottawa
that USD 365 students can take.
Students from schools outside
the county can attend the programs; students from Ottawa
and Osawatomie, for example,
attend the Garnett programs,
while Garnett students travel
to Ottawa daily for the nursing classes. Inbody said NCCC
is trying to expand the HVAC
program to allow Allen County
students to attend.

the general fund, including special considerations for enrollment, at-risk or special needs
students and transportation
costs. The amount of money the
state provides per pupil varies
depending on each of those factors. USD 365 schools likely will
face declining enrollment in
years to come. This year the district barely missed the 40 percent threshold for low-income
students that would provide
additional money; 39 percent of
USD 365 students qualify as low
income.
Districts also depend on the
Local Option Budget (LOB) for
additional money. The state
collects 20 percent of taxpayers money for its LOB, and distributes that money based on a
districts ability to raise money
from its own tax base. Poorer
districts, those with a smaller
property tax base, receive more
money from that fund than districts with a larger tax base.
Districts also can raise
money by collecting their own
LOB from taxpayers in their
district, but there are restrictions on how high a district can
raise taxes. USD 365 is nearly
maxed out at by collecting
taxes up to 29 percent of its
general fund; the limit is 30 percent. In order to increase the
local LOB beyond 30 percent,
USD 365 would need taxpayer
approval via a ballot measure.
On a per pupil basis, USD 365
spends less than the state average and less than other area
schools, Blome said. Factoring
all expenses, including capital
outlay for improvements and
bond and interest, USD 365
spends $12,313 per student while
the state average is $12,959. The
Crest USD 479 district in southern Anderson County spends
$12,631, while Central Heights
USD 288 in southern Franklin
County is $13,705. Meanwhile,
districts with a higher property tax base spend more, like
Prairie View which averages
$15,022 per pupil.
x$6.95 = Amount Enclosed
RECORDS…
Under some legislative proposals, USD 365 would lose
about $100,000 from the states
LOB fund while Prairie View
would not lose any money.
Is this fair? Blome asked.
Calculating per pupil costs
by operations alone without
factoring in capital outlay and
bond and interest USD 365
is well below average, Blome
said. Operational costs per
pupil are $10,683 in USD 365; the
state average is $11,311. Crests
per pupil costs are $12,006 and
Central Heights are around
$13,000, he said. Prairie Views
costs are $11,943.
USD 365 Board President
Gary Teel said those figures
illustrate that USD 365 has been
good stewards of taxpayer dollars.
Blome said USD 365 is in
better shape to weather financial cuts than some districts
because it has about $475,000
in contingency, or reserve
funds. That money hasnt been
touched in six years, he said,
and the goal is to keep enough
money in contingency to cover
costs like salaries in some catastrophic event, like if the state
fails to provide money to the
district such as in a government shut-down.
The district could tap into
its reserve funds if the state
cuts are too deep next year,
Blome said. He also proposed
shifting some maintenance and
janitorial costs to capital outlay, which would be possible
because of a new rule change.
He said some employees could
retire, and the district could
save money through attrition
without having to reduce the
workforce otherwise. He also
proposed saving about $20,000
in annual maintenance costs
by moving all football games
to the ACJSHS stadium, rather
than splitting games between
ACJSHS and the Lake Garnett
Park stadium.
It could get interesting next
year, Teel said in response to
Blomes presentation.

dual-credit classes like English
Composition, psychology and
government, among others, at
the high school. By taking the
classes, they earn credit hours
for both high school and college.
The courses are designed
to ensure they will transfer to
state colleges and universities,
Inbody said. Some students earn
enough credit hours in high
school to essentially advance
through a year or two of college.
By taking college-level classes
in high school, students also are
more prepared for the demands
of college or university courses.
Its a great way to ease them
into it, Inbody said.
The new welding, HVAC and
nursing programs now allow
students to earn certification
upon graduating from high
school. With that certification,
they can go straight to work or
continue their education. The
welding program at Garnett has
been very successful, Inbody
said, with employers eager to
hire its graduates.
Inbody said about 78 percent
of all NCCC graduates either
continue their education or go
straight to work. Of that, about
40 percent go straight to work.
According to Inbodys report,
when the dual-credit program
began at ACHS in 2009, students
could take up to four different
college-level classes. Over the
years, the number of available
courses expanded. In the Fall
2014 semester, students could
choose from 13 college classes. Some of those classes were
offered multiple times, giving
students more opportunity to
fit a college course into their
schedules.
In the fall of 2009, ACHS students earned a total of 114 credit
hours with an enrollment of
about 38 students (the exact
number of students wasnt
available, as some students
may have taken multiple courses). In the fall of 2014, 53 students earned 315 credit hours.
In the spring of 2014, 70 students

tourism leaders use the tax to
promote events to bring more
visitors to the city, which translates to more rooms rented and
more money collected to promote the events. Tax supporters
say because the tax is assessed
to visitors, some of the burden
to promote tourism is kept off
of local taxpaying residents.
Commissioner Greg Gwin
voted against the increase last
year, saying the 66 percent hike
was too much, too soon after
the 2013 increase. Supporters
argued the extra money could
be used to pay for additional
activities, like supporting the
Anderson County Fairs successful efforts to bring a carnival to the 2014 fair.
Martin said the city had
received considerably more
money from the higher transient guest tax rate. The change
doesnt take effect until July
1, so the city received only
one cycle of tax distributions,
in October, after last years
increased rate.
Despite Gwins objections
last year, he and his fellow commissioners fully supported the
new increase. However, they
said they would not be in favor
of increasing the tax again any
time soon.
This is it for awhile, Mayor
Preston Peine said. I want to

Conservatives bogeymen in school cuts
Theyre at it again.
The same Kansas media which only
recently climbed down off the ledge
over the re-election of Governor Sam
Brownback and Republican congressional victories nationwide is trying to
convince us that conservatives in Kansas
plan not only to shutter every schoolhouse in the state, but will probably cook
and eat its entire class of 2015 kindergartners as well.
But as liberal newspapers and anchormen prep their cameras to capture images of us mean old Republicans devouring
those tender five year-olds, it might do
Kansas moms and dads brought to hysteria by the endless nuking of education
news cycle to consider a few things:
First: The $28 million reduction the
Governor announced last week comes
after a $205 million increase approved
the preceding year. That means those
districts are still getting $177 million
more this year than they did last year.
Second: the 1.5 percent reduction local
districts will see, in the case of each of
our local districts in USD 365, 479 and
288, is well within the amount of cash
reserves held as of July 1 of last year for
each district. If your district desires to do
so, it can continue funding at the same
level as last year with no cuts whatsoever.
Third: If the full amount of the 1.5
percent reduction was to be wholly
absorbed by your district, it would still
be in operation after the cut and for
next year. Local businesses, particularly
during recent recession years, saw revenue reduction of far more than 1.5 percent and stayed in business. To clich a
clich, you tighten your belt and you get
along.
In reality the tough discussions about
education funding are only beginning,
regardless how much money is eventually spent or how much the media guilts
Brownback into eventually raising taxes.
Among the real questions are these:
how can a budget item that consumes 70
percent of all state spending be so perennially sensitive to the slightest tweaking
of funding?; and two: of the myriad funnels that deliver some kind of regulated,
if-this-then-that funding from state or
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
federal coffers to your local district, why
do none of them seem able to directly
affect the outcome of the process? Why
are there so many spigots for funding
and so many regulations on each from
the U.S. Department of Education all the
way down to your districts own Local
Option Budget? Indeed, the bureaucracy
of education has become too big and too
complicated to starve.
But dont expect the states media to
be asking or seeking answers to those
questions certainly not as long as the
conservatives cooking fires are flaming.
No nukes left?
And speaking of nuking something
or someone, I pondered the question out
loud recently after hearing the latest
grisly torture-killing by ISIS in northern
Iraq. This time they put a guy in a cage
and lit him on fire, of course videotaping
the event for his kids to watch online.
And it made me wonder:
Are we all out of nukes? Did we give
them all away in those treaties with the
Russians in the 80s ad 90s, or do we still
have a couple that work?
I mean, the technology and the politics of the day were certainly different,
but we didnt worry a lot about collateral civilian damage during World War
II when we firebombed Tokoyo and
Dresden. If theres been a real evil post911, pretty much the whole world agrees
ISIS is it. We have a basic idea where
they are, right?
Boom.
John Wayne fantasy, sure. But when
is enough enough?
Paul and Palin. Whos serious?
Im about to be very right or very wrong.
Im glad it doesnt matter in newsbiz, because
no one remembers what any of us writes or
says; but for what its worth, I believe that
Rand Paul has a decent shot at becoming not
only the Republican nominee, but taking all
the marbles in the general election next year.
Speaking of marbles, did you see and hear
Sarah Palin completely losing hers when she
spoke at that hard-right Iowa political event?
Her disjointed comments left her exposed to
a lot of ridicule, including from people in her
own party.
And Hillary Clinton is probably trembling
after this line: Now the press asks, the press
asks, Can anyone stop Hillary? Again, this
is to forego a conclusion, right? Its to scare
us off, to convince us that — a pantsuit can
crush patriots.
Before you forego a conclusion that I dont
take Sarah Palin seriously, you should know
that I once predicted she would be elected
president in 2012. I also worried once that
happened that there would be a massive flow
of Americans fleeing to warmer climes south
of the border. I imagined the irony if suddenly Mexico had the illegal north-of-the-border
The Kochs ride again down political trail
It was interesting while it lasted, but the
2016 election is now officially bought. The
purchasers are the Koch brothers, and the
price, a cool $889 million.
The news that the network organized
by David and Charles Koch plans to spend
roughly $900 million in the 2016 cycle has
freaked out Democrats, outraged so-called
campaign-finance reformers and inspired
hand-wringing about the future of the planet
Earth.
The despair is misplaced. One sign it is
still a free country is that a band of like-minded people, devoted to principles they consider
essential to the countrys thriving, can get
together and try to effect them in public policy.
For all that campaign reformers hate the
Kochs, the brothers network is, in part, their
creation. This is the natural consequence,
campaign-finance reformer Lawrence Lessig
griped about the $889 million, of a regime
with essentially no contribution limits.
Actually, it is the inevitable consequence
of contribution limits. The
campaign-finance reformers kneecapped the political
parties with malice aforethought and then
are stunned that, in a free country, political
activity has found other outlets.
If Reince Priebus and Debbie Wasserman
Schultz are limited to raising $32,400 per
donor annually, they will inevitably lose
ground to outside groups.
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
Rather than freeing up the parties, advocates of greater regulation want to make it
as difficult, or perhaps even impossible, for
everyone else to raise and spend money on
politics. The only obstacle to this ambition
is — damn you, George Mason — the Bill of
Rights, specifically the First Amendment.
That is why Democrats like current House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi hope to amend
the First Amendment to allow the government the latitude to further limit political
speech. Until such time (and may it never
arrive), the Kochs and their allies get to run
free.
The left always wants to paint the Koch
brothers as self-interested, to better fit the
stereotype of the robber baron distorting
government for his own ends.
But they are the rare breed of businessmen who dont seek special favors from government, who in fact oppose them on principle. They are capitalists who hate crony capitalism. In the libertarian paradise that they
seek, the Kochs would be freer of government
regulation — but so would everyone else.
The $889 million figure is not quite what it
seems. It encompasses all the Koch spending,
including support for academic programs
and think tanks. Nor is buying an election
all it is cracked up to be. The Kochs spent
some $400 million on the 2012 election, and
came up empty.
The brothers are archvillains, regardless.
The left is invested in trying to find a way
to squeeze them out of the political process,
because it instinctively hates anything being
unregulated, including political activity.
Also, its attitude is influence for me, but
not for thee. The left, by and large, owns
the media, academia, the big foundations
and Hollywood. Compared with all of that
priceless political and cultural influence, the
spending of the Koch network is a pittance.
The Koch brothers will nonetheless remain
targets, so long as they continue to so prominently represent and advocate for a free
society.

Read between the lines in cleverly titled acts
Remember those times when you thought
you were being made fun of?

No, I wanted the salt, thats the white
stuff or a friend says, Never mind, I was
hoping to borrow a comb, but a guy like you

Well, thats happening with more frequency in the Kansas Legislature now days.
Its called titling a bill, not just saying what
it proposes to do, but giving the measure
a title that makes it sound important. Or,
maybe it is just to make the bill something
that a legislator has to think twice about voting against, because its title is catchy enough
that you dont want it showing up on a campaign ad by your opponent next year.
Its part art, part science, but that naming
of bills has become more frequent.
For example, chances are slim that a political foe is going to tout on his/her palm card
that you voted against Senate Bill 166. But,
anyone imagine that if a legislator voted
against the Rule of Law Restoration Act
that the same piece of paper isnt going to
show up on the campaign trail?
Whos against the rule of law? Who wants
voting against that on his/her permanent
record?
Well, it turns out the Rule of Law
Restoration Act is largely a slap at President
Barack Obama and his stance on immigration, for not deporting undocumented people
from being in and working in the United
States. The rule of law is all about immigration policy, which even the governor says
is largely a federal issue that states cant do
much about.
But that rule of lawand there is still
STATE COMMENTARY
MARTIN HAWVER, At The Rail
debate about whether Obama can order his
Department of Justice to not enforce federal immigration lawgets interesting when
the Kansas Legislature starts considering its
ability to enforce that rule of law.
The bill in the Kansas Legislature slaps
at Obama, of course, but brings immigration
law to the Statehouse.
Its provisions would prohibit Kansas businesses from hiring an alien who doesnt have
specific documented permission to be in the
countryor who is just not deported because
of the Obama administrations actions which
defer the deportation.
The kicker here might be that no Kansas
business could deduct as a cost of doing
business the salary or wages of any of those
undocumented workers they hire. Thats
when, we suspect, things get pretty serious for the business community. Oh, and
those persons not lawfully present in the
U.S. cant be issued Kansas drivers licenses,
which presumably means that they arent
going to have auto insurance, either, should
they get in a wreck with a lawfully present
Kansan.
So, thats what the Rule of Law Restoration
Act is all about. Not immigration, not workers, not driving, its the rule of law, being
restored by the Kansas Legislature.
Wonder about those other bills that
authors have given titles to? How about the
Cannabis Compassionate Care Actthats
medical marijuanaor the Police and
Citizens Protection Act, which is body cameras on police.
And, dont forget the gruesomely, maybe
cleverly, named Kansas Unborn Child
Protection from Dismemberment Abortion
Actbasically an antiabortion bill with a
hard-to-vote-against name, or last sessions
Religious Freedom Act, which passed the
House and died in the Senate that would have
allowed businesses to refuse to do business
with same-sex couples.
These cleverly titled billsno, make that
actsare increasing in number. Powerful
political titles, and if you arent paying attention, well, your legislator voted for something
that doesnt necessarily do what it sounds
likeor is afraid to vote against something
that is exactly what it sounds like.
That makes the right question what does
it do?not what is it named

my reasoning: Actually, he said it himself
when asked about the lineup of so-called moderates in his party itching to take the plunge:
I think that the more, the merrier as far as
Im concerned, he told Fox News. I think
we have [a] place in the party for moderates
like Christie and Bush and Romney, and then
there will also be conservatives.
Well, obviously Mitt Romney did the math,
but with Chris Christie and Jeb Bush duking
it out, Rand Paul is still correct about all
that, and more so when it comes to the conservatives. There are a bunch of them — Ted
Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum and, of
course, Sarah Palin — but too many to count
on both right hands. So Pauls strategy is to
let them chew up each other on both sides and
position himself in the middle.
Some of his views may sound a little out
there, but they hold quite a bit of appeal for
a restless younger generation turned off not
only by fuddy-duddy politics, but also by institutions in general. Thats fertile ground for
the ostentatiously libertarian Paul. And hes
the only one who has aggressively courted
the demographic groups that have normally
skewed Democrat, but now are saying skew
the system.
Suspend your disbelief for a moment and
assume he gets the GOP nomination, and that
Hillary Clinton is the Democratic opponent.
Obviously Hillary Clinton is not entirely the
same old, same old, because she is a she. But
Hillary is a Clinton, after all, and that brings
with it a been there, done that label that
might be hard to shake.
So you heard it here first: Rand Paul needs
to be taken seriously. Im not confident about
this prediction, but I know one thing for sure
if he does go all the way: His vice president
will not be Sarah Palin.
Thanks for making it
a special Christmas
Democrat – no. Republican – no. Independent no. Neighbor – yes. Acquaintance – yes. Stranger
– yes.
By whatever name you call yourself, you are
to be thanked for making this a better Christmas
for a number of Anderson Countians. We at
ECKAN and The Spirit of Christmas Committee
appreciate your kindness and generosity this
season. We were able to help 124 families, which
included 205 children and 186 adults. We received
a multitude of gifts and raised over $3,000 in
donations.
There are too many folks, organizations and
businesses to name. We absolutely would not
want to miss naming anyone that played a role in
helping this Christmas season. From the givers,
to the packers, to the loaders – you are appreciated.

RobBots, competed at the
Southeast Kansas FIRST Lego
League Championship on
Saturday Jan. 31st, held at the
Southeast Kansas Education

The RobBots have been
meeting every Monday and

of their time designing, building and programming the robot
and the rest researching and
preparing their project.
FIRST
Lego
League
Introduces younger students
to real-world engineering challenges by building LEGO-based
robots to complete tasks on a
thematic playing surface. FLL
teams, guided by their imaginations and adult coaches, discover exciting career possibilities
and, through the process, learn
to make positive contributions
to society.
In addition to building
robots each team must create
an innovative project to solve
a problem or question related
to the years theme. This years
theme was World Class. The
RobBots question was How
can we teach Middle School and
High School students about college. They designed a robot
that can tour about a college
campus allowing future students to connect and take a
remote interactive tour.
The RobBots win advances them to the FLL North
American Championship at
Legoland in California on May
15th – 18th where they will compete with over 100 other teams

God made man
in His image
We live in a world today
where people are divided
by gender, race, intellect or
social status. These groupings have become so important that political campaigns
are designed to appeal to
them. Governments rise and
fall, people are impoverished
and enslaved because of these
divisions. Every aspect of our
lives can be affected by these
divisions. These divisions
allow those with the most
power to lord over those less
fortunate.
The Bible labels this as
sin. Sin can be defined as
the transgression of or the
failure to conform to Gods
law. This transgression can
occur in thought, word or
deed. Mankind was created
without sin, morally upright
and inclined to do good. Sin
entered into the human experience when Adam and Eve
violated the direct command
of God by eating the forbidden fruit in the Garden of
Eden. Because Adam was the
head and representative of
the whole human race, his
sin affected all future generations.
Though the world divides
people today by the above
mentioned groupings we are
really not divided by any of
these things in Gods eyes.
We are divided only by one
thing. Either we are without
hope and without God in the
world, which is our natural
state, or we have been born
again from above to a living

hope by the resurrection of
Jesus Christ from the dead.
God is holy and cannot
sin. Jesus Christ, the Son of
God, who came to earth in
human form is also sinless.
John Wesley in his sermon,
Justification by Faith, concerning the state of perfection
of man before the fall said;
God made him (man) to be
an image of his own eternity an incorruptible picture
of the God of Glory. When
Adam and Eve chose to sin
this was lost. From the fall
until now man has attempted
to piece work a system together that would create prosperity, a kind of utopia. What has
come out of this is division.
Man has lost his compassion
for God and thus for his fellow
man. God created man in his
image. Thus God will not
allow human beings to suppress entirely their sense of
God and his judgment. Some
sense of right and wrong, as
well as of accountability to
God, always remains. Either
we know God through his Son
Jesus Christ or we know him
in guilt, with uncomfortable
inklings of the judgment we
know cannot be avoided.

Twenty seven active members, an increase over last year,
are enrolled in Agriculture
Education classes this year.
Classes have taken advantage
of opportunities that have been
available to them to further
their understanding of agricultural practices and to develop
leadership skills. Several of the
activities they have participated in during the fall semester
are: National FFA Convention,
Greenhand Conference, Land
Judging CDE, Horse Judging
CDE, Dairy Cattle CDE,
Leadership School (Par-Law)
and Job Interview. Students
taking agriculture mechanics
have been successful in learning and sharpening their skills
in ARC, MIG and TIG welding. They have done a nice job
completing bale rings, panels
and even built a bale bed from
scratch.
The spring semester looks to
be as busy as they are already
working on upcoming CDEs
as well as keeping their record
books up to date in pursuit of
proficiency awards and state
degrees. Crest FFA Chapter
is in the process of starting
up an Alumni Association for
individuals in the community that were past FFA members or anyone that would like
to help this organization and
the students that are involved
in it. Brett Brownback is the
Agriculture teacher at Crest.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, February 10, 2015
LOCAL
Rep. Jones gives report on state revenue, budget
Friday, January 30th, the
Kansas Department of Revenue
(KDOR) announced tax-only
revenue for January was $47.2
million below estimates making the task of balancing the
state budget in the current and
upcoming fiscal years considerably more difficult.
One cause of the January
shortfall can be attributed to
the IRS accepting (processing)
tax statements six days earlier this year than they did in
2014. In 2014 the start date was
January 26th, while in 2015
they started processing returns
on January 20th. That earlier
start date allowed more time
in the month for the KDOR to
issue state income tax refunds.
KDOR issued $7.9 million in tax
refund checks to 12,600 people
in January of 2014, and for the
first month of 2015 the KDOR
issued $30 million in refund
checks to 64,601 taxpayers. In
February we could see that
trend reversed.
The January number,
added to previous collections
and estimates, increased the
total amount of adjustments
the Legislature needs to make
to balance the 2015 fiscal year
budget to $298 million and we
KANSAS
LEGISLATURE
By KEVIN JONES,
House of Representatives,
5th District
only have five months remaining in this fiscal year.
The dollar amount would
be higher had it not been for
the Governor using his statutory authority to implement
spending reductions, including a partial reduction in the
payment to the Kansas Public
Employees Retirement System
(KPERS) of $40.7 million and
asking some state agencies to
reduce their operating budget
by four percent for the remainder of the fiscal year (a two
percent annual reduction). He
made additional recommendations to adjust the budget, but
they require legislative approval.
To make the necessary
adjustments, the House and
Senate budget committees have
spent a considerable amount of
time working on a rescission
spending bill. A rescission bill
is legislation that cuts money
during the current fiscal year
budget. The goal is to protect
core state services, while at the
same time protecting Kansas
taxpayers.
The FY 15 shortfall comes
as a result of an unexpected
$63.6 million increase to K-12;
which is on top of the $130 million increase passed in last
sessions education finance
bill (HB 2506), an additional
$46.2 million in Medicaid costs,
and of course, the lower than
expected tax collections. The
House bill contains provisions
to ensure schools receive their
portion of the promised $130
million increased funding. It
passed the house on a vote of 88
to 34 and has now been sent to
the Senate.
After work on the FY 15
rescission bill is complete in
the Senate, the focus will shift
to the FY 16 budget; which will
be an even greater challenge.
A part of crafting the budget
for FY 16 may include incorporating some of the Governors
reform and tax suggestions.
In order for the era of an ever
increasing government to come
to an end in Kansas, structural changes need to take place;
especially as it relates to the
K-12 finance formula and
Medicaid costs. Over just the
past four budget years, K-12
expenditures have increased
by $312.2 million and Medicaid
has increased $182 million
while other budget expenditures have decreased by $242.5
million.
The Governor has proposed
a sunset date of July 1, 2015 for
the current school finance formula and that we block grant
funding to schools for the next
two years while a new finance
formula is written. This can
certainly be accomplished, but
removing some of the expenditure restrictions on local
school boards for the next two
years, and providing them with
flexibility, needs to be a part of
the equation.
Surprising to some was the
Governors suggestion of a tax
increase on cigarettes, tobacco products and liquor and
beer. This comes as part of the
vision to move more toward a
consumption tax rather than
property tax. The tax increase
on cigarettes and tobacco is
projected to bring in an additional $80 million annually,
while the estimated additional revenues from liquor and
beer is $27 million annually.
Nobody can really confirm if
the revenue estimates from
the proposed tax increases
are accurate, because estimators cannot accurately predict
changes in human behavior.
A tax increase will cause some
who consume such products to
either consume less (or not at
all) or make their purchases
out of state.

Tyson offers first legislative update
Just the Facts and
Accountability
There is a plethora of information presented during the
legislative session. It used to
take several weeks before misinformation was being disseminated, but that is no longer
the case. The special interest
groups are using the internet
and other forms of communication to spark your ire. It is
difficult, but we must check the
facts. If you have questions,
please contact my office. It
is even hard for me to get the
information but I can try to
point you in the right direction.
Since I have been in office,
state K-12 funding has not been
cut. In 2011 federal aid was
cut. This was not state aid,
only federal. Kansans pay
over $5.4 billion (State and
Local Aid) for 461,088 students.
Over $5.9 billion is spent on
286 school districts in Kansas.
Since 2011, per-pupil spending
has increased from $12,656 to
$12,960.
KANSAS
LEGISLATURE
By CARYN TYSON,
Kansas Senate
12th District
The
Kansas
Attorney
General, Derek Schmidt, is representing the state in appealing the latest ruling that our
state school funding is inadequate. At the same time,
the schools who sued the state
in the Gannon case have filed
to reopen the Kansas Supreme
Court decision on the equity of
education funding.
The first bill of the session
passed the Senate unanimously, Senate Bill (SB) 4. SB 4
would create more transparency, efficiency, and accountability with Office of Information
Technology Services (OITS). It
will now go to the House for
consideration.
SB 4 was a direct result
of working to find and cut
wasteful spending. Due to my
Legislative Post Audit request
of OITS it was discovered OITS
was overcharging from $2 to
$6 million since 2009; OITS
has over a $36 million budget
with NO oversight; OITS was
not charging some agencies
and departments, while over
charging others; and OITS paid
$2.5 million in federal fines
because of overcharges to agencies and departments.
We must work to find inefficiencies and cut wasteful
spending, instead of continuing
to expand government growth
as we have in the past.

RULES
Last Wednesday the House
passed its rules for the present session. A new calendar
is issued and it is cleared of
any existing bills from the previous two years. This insures
that new members joining
the House or Senate wont be
forced to vote on any bills they
have not seen introduced.
PAY GO
The House Rules Committee
again included the rule known
as Pay Go to their rules. This
requires that for any amendment to an appropriations bill
on the House floor that would
increase spending, an equal
amount of spending must be
found elsewhere in the budget
that could be reduced for the
amendment to be debated. This
insures spending levels remain
restrained in the budget.

EARTHQUAKES AND
FRACKING
The House Energy &
Environment committee held
hearings on the recent seismic activity in south central
Kansas. The media has suggested they are because of the oil
and gas industry especially the
drilling called hydraulic fracturing. Rex Buchanan, director
of the Kansas Geological survey testified on invitation from
the committee.
Buchanan said the state
operates two seismic sensors as
part of the National Earthquake
Information Center. He discussed the increased oil and
gas industry production and
that inherently low level seismic activity follows those
actions. He also said that there
is no reason to believe that
this seismic activity is caused
by hydraulic fracturing. He
explained the main differenc-

es in the techniques used to
extract oil: the well-completion
technique of hydraulic fracturing and the production
technique of saltwater injection. To measure the exact
effects of the production technique, last April, the Survey
installed temporary seismic
stations to further track the
activity for additional study.

Bulldogs smoke Vikes in 3rd period
RICHMOND Anderson
County out-gunned Central
Heights in the third period
to take a decisive lead in last
weeks rivalry matchup, sealing a 51-38 win for the Bulldogs.
Merrick Brown and Matt
Percy nailed three-pointers
early on in the first period to
set a solid pace for the Central
Heights offense, but Jake
Rundle and Derrick Nelson
answered with their own shooting barrage to keep the margin
close. John Rundle drilled two
in the second period to help out
AC but Cade Masingale negated those with 4 of his own. It
was tied at 22 at the half.
ACs defense clamped down
on the Vikes in the third
period, limiting them to only
5 points while Chase Ratliff,
Nelson and Nick Levy chipped
away at the net for 17 points
in the period. With a neck-andneck fourth period it would be
those third quarter points that
made it work for AC.
Nelson led ACs shooters
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, February 10, 2015
with 16 followed by Ratliff
with 14, John & Jake Rundle
and Levy all had 6 apiece and
Mason Skiles added a trey in
the fourth period.
Gavin Holler led CHHS
with 10, Merrick Brown had 9,
Marcus Watson 7, Matt Percy
6, Cade Masingale 4 and Zele
Smith 2.
BluJays top Neon Green 20-14
GARNETT Pleasanton came
to town Saturday with too
many guns and too much altitude, but Neon Green made it
respectable with a second half
surge that narrowed their loss
to 20-14 in city league Biddy
Basketball action.
The BluJays sported two
players well over 5 feet tall, but
Neon scrapped for rebounds
and made plays with a formidable defense in both halves.
But Neons shots were off and
offense was harried, and the
Green Machine just couldnt
find the net fast enough.
Pleasanton led 9-6 at the half.
Emma Savin, who would score
15 of the Blujays points for the
game, hit 7 in the first half.
Sophia Cole, Kaylyn Disbrow
and Hailey Gillespie each had
buckets for Green.
Pleasanton pulled away
early in the second half as
Savin picked apart the Green
defense. But Green shooters got
a little warmer in the second
half, with Disbrow draining
another two and an extra bucket each from Cole and Marla
Campbell. Strong passing from
Carly Hicks and Abbey Lickteig
helped the offense make some
plays, and solid defensive hustle from Mackenzie Kueser and
Avery Sumner helped keep
pressure on the Blujay squad.
Disbrow led Green with 6
points, Cole had 4, Gillespie,
Campbell two each. Savin hit 15
for Pleasanton, Taryn Jackson
4 and Kori Umpenhaur 1.
Lancers drop two in tough weeks play
COLONY The Lady Lancers can get to
the table, but they just cant seem to close
the deal.
Turnovers continue to outpace a developing and sometimes-effective offense, as
the Lancers dropped two games last week
by similar methods.
We have improved tremendously but
we turn over the ball ourselves, said coach
Elaine Holloway, and when we mess up
we hang our head low. I am proud of how
they play, we just cant finish.
Crest hopped out to a first quarter lead
against LeRoy but let the Titans breathe in
the second period to trail 22-18 at the half.
LeRoy exploded with a 24 point third quarter as Crest struggled to stay upright, but
the ending was a 52-36 loss for Crest.
Crest kept up the scoring pressure
against Chetopa at weeks end but the
defense just couldnt contain the Hornets
scoring. The Lancers fell 58-41.
Laurel Godderz led the scoring against
Chetopa with 18, Miranda Golden had
10, Madison Covey 8, Taryn Covey 3 and
Karlee Hammond 2. Golden led the charge
against LeRoy with 15, Godderz had 10
Hammond 6, Taryn Covey 3 and Madison
Covey 2.
Zone change brings CHHS 65-50 win
RICHMOND Sometimes it just
takes a little change up like a
switch in their zone defense
Friday night that charged up
the Central Heights Vikings
and tuned its sputtering offense
to a 65-50 win.
We struggled on both ends
of the floor the entire first
quarter, said head coach Doug
North. We got our energy from
our defense. We made a switch
in our zone and it seemd to
work in the second quarter.
The Viking defense held Iola
to only 7 points in the second
period. Merrick Brown flamed
three big treys in that period as
well and Central Heights was
off to the races with a 20-7 to tie
it up at the half at 23. The Vikes
came out shooting in the third
period to wallop the Mustangs
26-12 for the period, while the
fourth period was nearly a dead
heat.
The three-point shooting fes-
tival was on in that third period with Matt Percy hitting 3,
Gavin Holler 2 and Zele Smith
1 as the Vikes ramped up the
points.
Percy led the Viking offense
with 21, Brown had 12, Marcus
Watson 12, Chase Brown 8 and
Holler 8 each and Smith 3.
Central Heights Vikings fall to Fillies 35-23
IOLA The Central Heights girls played a
solid three quarters but ran into a fourth
period shooting freeze against Iola Friday
which cost the Vikings a 35-23 loss.
I thought our defense was fantastic
tonight, said head coach Scott Lane. We
6×10.5
ach
have to get better on the glass defensively
and we have to get our shots to fall.
It was tied up 12 all at the half and the
Vikes trailed by just three at the beginning
of the fourth period. But Iolas Sydney
Wade and Addie Haar kept up the offense
pressure in the fourth period to put 13 on
the board while the Fillies defense held
Central Heights to 4 points.
Regan Markley led CHHS with 9 points,
Sarah Bell had 6, Sydney Meyer 4, Tami
Shaefer 3, and Jasmine Clancy 1.

AC girls dominate CHHS
RICHMOND ACs girls dominated Central Heights from the
opening tip-off last week, coming home with a 47-16 win.
ACs defense simply denied
shots to the Vikings, who head
coach Scott Lane said came out
flat and never found a groove.
Credit to Garnett for being the
much more aggressive team,
Lane said. AC led 19-7 at the
half and was never really under
pressure from the Vikes.
Samantha McCullough hit
21 for AC. Paige Scheckel had
11, Madison Ratliff and Emily
Fritz both had 4, Maci Rockers
3, Katie Lybarger and Maycee
Ratliff 2 apiece.
Regan Markley and Sydney

Vincent Trujillo, far left, and Austin Long, far right, watch as Luiz Azevedo, a foreign exchange student from Brazil, tries to take the ball from Jordan Null during
a game of 2-on-2 basketball at Lake Garnett Park Sunday afternoon. Warm temperatures in the upper 60s brought many people to the park and other outdoors

Getting free publicity, the
kind that can illuminate your
business no matter its size to a
new range of possible customers and generate thousands or
even hundreds of thousands of
dollars in new sales, is just pretty cool.
Thats why you should devote
a little time this week to brainstorming how your business
can generate some advertising
that is sought out by media and
that you dont have to pay for.
Its done all the time. Read
the newspaper or magazines.
Watch local television (especially the morning shows) listen to
your local radio station or your
National Public Radio affiliate.
Editors and broadcast producers have to fill hours and hours
of news space every day or
week, and theyre always looking for the opportune source
that rounds out coverage on a
timely topic or one thats just
flat out interesting. Here are
some tips think about how
they apply to your business:
1) You may not be a professional writer, but a press release
can be a simple as a couple
of paragraphs about what your
business is doing thats newsworthy are you sponsoring
a special event, retiring, having an outlandish promotion,
expanding your building, adding a location, hiring or promoting staff?
2) Find something that
is newsworthy. If youre just
announcing a new product
line or changing your hours,
news editors will recognize it
as a ploy for free advertising.
Remember, to be newsworthy,
it has to focus on something
more than just your business.
How do you do that? Read on.
3) Watch for a chance to
comment on something timely.
If youre a local tire shop and

your local landfill is raising its
tire disposal fees, contact your
newspaper or TV station with
some tips and info on other
recycling options or even home
uses for old tires. You may get
quoted in a story on the topic.
4) Sign yourself up at www.
helpareporter.com. This is
a site that catalogues expert
sources like you on every topic
imaginable for journalists all
over the U.S. and the world.
When someone at ABC News,
Huffington Post or the London
Times is working on an article, many times they dont want
to hear from the corporate PR
department of some major company or organization they
want more of a man on the
street or a regional perspective. That could be you, but you
have to sign up and list your
credentials and areas of expertise. Best of all its free.
In a modern world in which
media is even more driven by
competition to have the trending story, you need to make
sure youre making your business available for that free publicity. Itll help you sell stuff!

The former opera house at Westphalia was demolished by its owner, the LeRoy Co-op, in February
2005. Co-op officials said the building was dangerous and beyond repair. Plans at the time were to build
two concrete grain silos on the site.

Feb. 8, 2005
A public hearing Wednesday
to discuss the lease that
Garnett Church Furnishings
has on a factory in Garnetts
Golden Prairie Industrial Park
drew a crowd of 64 and they
spent 90 minutes speaking their
minds on the subject. When all
was said, there was nothing to
be done but wait and see if
the beleaguered company can
turn the assistance they have
received thus far from the city
and county into a net plus, for
both itself and the community.
By a 5-2 vote, school board
members in USD 365 on
Thursday split with decades of
traditional classroom organization when they adopted block
scheduling for 9-12 graders at
Anderson County High School.
The change breaks tradition
in that it adopts a class day
with four periods of 87 minutes
instead of the old 8 periods of 50
minutes, with alternating sets
of classes every other day and
a seminar period toward the
end of the day or extra study for
students. The concept behind
block scheduling is that students gain more by spending
more time on fewer subjects in
a day, thus allowing more time
for project work and practical
application of theory learned in
class.

month into a fund that will
someday be used to expand 911
service in the county. But even
though that fund has raised
more than $19,500, Anderson
County seems no nearer to
expanded 911 than it was 4
years ago.
A motion to institute softball and baseball programs at
Anderson County Hgih School
in the spring of 1996 was defeated 5-2 when the board met
Thursday night. The vote came
following a long discussion
about the pros and cons of adding new programs. Some board
members said the money could
be better used for educational
programs. Superintendent Ken
Woods repeated earlier recommendations that due to the
continued lack of increases in
funding for school districts in
the state, that before any new
programs are implemented others should be cut.

Feb. 12, 1915
Following is a word picture of a somewhat famous old
Garnett house the old Sennett
Kirk home. Charles Hidden, the
building, was s member of the
first Garnett Town company.
N the distribution of the lots,
lot 12, block 34, fell by lottery
to him. During the summer of
1864, he built, for a carpenter
shop, that was the principal
part of the house a two-story frame, 20 by 40 feet. In the
loft of this building, Garnetts
first paper was published The
Garnett Plaindealer, by Charles
Olney, owner and publisher.
On the second of August 1865,
Col. D.W . Houston bought the
house and the lot on which it
was built, for the sum of $300
and built an addition and otherwise changed and improved
the shop and made it a comfortable dwelling house. During
the time the Colonel owned it,
it was known as a political
resort and was visited by most
of the noted characters of those
days. A year ago the house
was moved away from where
it stood so long to make room
for the pretentious residence of
Mr. and Mrs. Sennett Kirk and
family. During the past week,
the old house has been torn
down and hauled away.

MOMMM!I yelled.
I had just gotten up to my room
from art club when I was confronted
by a gray falcon swooping around in
my room. My window was still wide
open like Id left it earlier this morning. The day had quickly become
stuffy. I charged to the window,
dodging the swooping falcon with its
annoying squawking as I went, and
slammed it shut.
Just then I heard Moms pounding footsteps as she came running
up the stairs. By time shed gotten here, the falcon had stopped its
squawking and was remaining on
the higher registers of my room.
Mom stood and just looked at it for
the longest time. I was about ready
to say something when she beat me
to it.
Do you see that? She asked.
See what? I replied glancing
at her questioningly. She shook her
head and frowned. Then she perked
up again.
I am going down stairs. Mom
said really to no one in particular, You clearly have everything
under control. She started down
the stairs.
But, Mom. I dont know of any-
thing I could catch it with! I cried.
It had been a long day and it wasnt
even finished yet.
Then go find something to catch
it with. Mom simply replied as
she walked out of my
room. I sighed, Mom
wanted me to find
a way to solve the
problem without her
helping me. I thought
a bit about what I
was going to catch
the hawk with when it smacked
me in the head, quite literally. A
tiny piece of mud from the falcons
foot hit me on the head. I think it
might have had a rock in it because
it HURT! That tiny piece of dirt
must have knocked an idea into
me because a second later I was
sprinting to the garage to grab Dads
catfish net.
Salem! Mom cried as I ran
down the stairs. Her bright eyes
were full of curiosity.
Not
now Mom! Im on a mission. I
just kept running. Finally down the
steps to the garage and around the
car that mom took Tony and Chris
to camp in and all the way to the
tackle box. I snapped open the lid,
grabbed the net and began my quick
assent back up to my room. As
soon as I got there I noticed that the
falcon had stopped flying but then
The Secret Six

Westphalia Elementary School
Annabeth! Carson parked next to her,
Why do you have to go so fast?
I wanted to get here in time to help
Annelie set up, Annabeths stormy gray eyes
scanned her surroundings, as if shed never
been to Annelies before.
Carson wanted to hurt himself. He
knew he couldnt judge Annabeth for being
alarmed. Her father died in battle and her
mother was murdered. Annabeth was now
living with her sister in Fort Kent, Maine.
Hi Annabeth, Carson. I was just about to
pack the food, do you want to help? invited
Annelie.
That is exactly why we came early.
Annabeth, Annelie, and Carson went to work.
When all the food was packed for the
trip, Annabeth went outside to greet Tate,
Rory, and Annaliece. After Annabeth went
outside, Annelie checked the bags to double
check food was in all of them. When she
looked in Annabeths she noticed Rip Wave,
Annabeths lipstick/sword.
When all 4 of them came in the house, Annelie
announced it was time to go.
Were off to see the meadow, the wonder-
it started up again. My fury rose
as it swooped dangerously close to
my masterpiece, Guardian Angel.
I spent so long on that painting it
wasnt even funny.
Oh, no you dont. I muttered
under my breath as I took an attack
stance. I swung hard. I missed. I
swung again, this time I caught it.
I had just enough time to give
myself a small congratulations
before I heard Mom come running
up the stairs.
Okay, pull the net off very slowly. Mom commanded after the net
had hit the ground and the falcon
stopped flapping. She was wearing
largely padded gardening gloves so
that the falcon wouldnt scratch her.
Quick as a flash Mom grabbed the
falcon so that it couldnt fly away.
Hey, Salem, do you see that slip
of paper tied to its leg? Would you
pull it off, please? Mom asked as
she carefully sat on my bed. I silently pried the white band of paper that
I hadnt noticed off its leg.
It says: Fireflare Street at 10:57
p.m. Saturday. Dont be late.
Isnt Fireflare Street where Carl
Flauyer lives? Perhaps this was
supposed to be for him. I remarked
curiously.
No, Mr. Flauyer is a highly
sophisticated man. He wouldnt
have someone send him anything
ful meadow of, Tate had to think, secretness. The 5 others laughed with him.
The Secret Meadow was the lair of the
Secret Six. The center of the meadow was
the Exhibit Hall, where all their treasures
were out on display. The weird
thing was, the Secret Six
never let anyone come to the
Secret Meadow. They never
gave anyone the chance to
see their treasures.
The meeting room was
in a tree in the surrounding
forest. That day, the meeting room was in
use. Two raccoons had made their home in
the tree house. Annaliece said to leave them
alone. They decided to have the meeting in
the Exhibit Hall.
While they were walking toward the
Exhibit Hall, Tate noticed a cave he had
never noticed before.
Guys, has that cave always been there?
asked Tate getting a little scared.
No. I dont think it has. Annabeth was
getting fidgety.
Annabeth turned to run, but Annelie
grabbed her arm. Annelie forced all of them
to investigate with her. So, slowly, the Secret
Six crept toward the entrance to the cave.
When they walked in, the cave just looked

by falcon. Mom commented as she
examined the poor falcons wings.
Look here. Its wings have been
clipped. This is a trained falcon.
I didnt say anything but sat
down next to her on the bed. Later
that night I found an old canary
cage that was large enough to hold
five birds that I had kept from sixth
grade. That was when Id thought
my parents were going to get me an
owl. It was just big enough for the
falcon and I kept him in my room.
As I went to bed that night I just kept
thinking, whats is going to happen
on Fireflare street? Will it be good
or bad? Then I drifted off to sleep.
Tap. Tap. Crunch. Snap! I
heard it in the middle of the night.
Everything was silent. I listened
intently. Mom and Dad always
said that if you hear something outside in the middle of the night that
doesnt sound normal, chances are
it isnt an animal. I swiftly got out
of bed and grabbed a really heavy
dictionary in case I needed to defend
myself. Slowly I walked to the window careful to avoid waking the falcon (I had decided to call him Venn).
Snap! I heard it again this time
it was followed by a slow hooting,
like a bird. Venn woke up with
a start and started to squawk like
crazy. I turned frantically around
to quiet him but something out of
like, well, a cave. Unfortunately, the way
they came in, would not be the way they went
out. A door made of marble, slammed down,
closing the entrance.
I knew it, I knew it. I knew this would
happen if we walked in here! Annabeth went
berserk. She started clawing at the walls and
going further in the cave, and then going
closer to the entrance.
Annabeth calm down. We just have to
walk further in the cave, Tate tried.
I sensed danger. We will be put in harms
way if we go any further into the cave,
Annabeth warned.
Well, I have always loved Harm. I have
also always loved making her cry when I succeed in doing the impossible, Rory laughed.
Rory led the way further and further into
the cave. Annabeth was right about danger.
Rory almost fell to his death 3 times. Too bad
for the Secret Six, death drops were not the
only danger hiding within the cave.
After about 30 minutes of wandering
around, a light shown somewhere ahead of
them. Rory followed the light, praying that
the someone or something with the light was
friendly.
By the time Rory and the others had made
it to the light, Annabeth already had Rip
Wave drawn.
the corner of my eye caught my
attention. A man wearing a black
stocking cap was running across the
field behind our house. I watched
him long enough to see him run into
the woods. I snapped back to reality and pulled a small blanket from
my closet and tossed it over Venns
cage. Then I climbed back in bed
and didnt wake up until morning.
The next morning I woke up
early enough to have breakfast with
Mom since she always goes out to
her garden at seven in the morning
after breakfast. I decided to tell her
about last night.
Honey, She responded hesitantly and somewhat worriedly.
What exactly did the hooting sound
like? I demonstrated. She looked
even more worried then.
Why dont you take Venn down
to the police station today? Oh, and
lock your windows. I dont want you
opening them until I say so. She
advised
But, Mom. You dont really
think that something really bad
could happen, do you? I reasoned
looking at her nervously.
I dont know but it doesnt hurt
to be over cautious. Now why dont
you go to the Police station now?
That way you can ride Artemis
before lunch. Mom politely suggested. Today was Saturday so I
Ill go first, since I have Rip Wave.
Annabeth walked into the light, the others
close behind. When Annabeths eyes cleared
from the blinding light, she wanted to cry.
Annabeth was standing on Downton Abby
lawns.
Downton Abby was a soap opera that
Annabeth loved. Annabeth wanted to enjoy
the visit, but it didnt seem right. One minute theyre walking in darkness and the
next theyre in Downton Abby, which is in
England!
All of a sudden the scene glitched and they
were standing on a ship in the middle of what
looked like the Mediterranean.
Then Annabeth heard Carson exclaim,
No way!? This is the Argo II. The ship
Leo built in the Heroes of Olympus series!
Carson started running around like a mad
man.
The scene glitched again. Now Annabeth
was sitting in a castle.
Oh my alligators! This is Professor
McGonagalls room. Ive waited forever
to walk these halls, Rory started looking
through the books.
Then Anneliece seemed to have figured it
out.
Guys, dont you see whats going on?!

didnt have art club. I normally rode
Artemis a lot when I had the time.
I could tell she was distracted and
agitated because of the new development so I went without complaint or
hesitation. I trusted her judgment
and knew that she was trying to protect me if anything got dangerous.
I took my bike to town which is
only a few miles away all on dirt
roads. I also had to carry Venn
the whole way. With him I took
the note that came with his arrival.
When I drove into town I noticed a
black vehicle following me. When
I walked into the bleak Police station I saw it drive by several times.
I sat down in one of the waiting
chairs and stared out the window at
my town, Greenbush. Everything
was bright and sunny and people
were smiling all around. Then the
black car drove by again. It was
like a damper on the things around
it. It had tinted windows and a
long scrape down the right side. I
couldnt help but feel uneasy around
it. Everyone else had bright colored
cars so it didnt fit in at all.
Salem Brimstone. How can I
help you? Officer Pine grinned at
me across the counter. His dark
skin crinkled up at the eyes reminding me of melted chocolate.
I was wondering if the Police

are wishing you were back home watching
Downton Abby. Carson, you probably want
your book right now. Rory, you obviously
want to be watching Harry Potter. Well
never get out of here if you think about that
stuff. Close your eyes and imagine darkness.
Imagine getting out of here.
It took about 5 seconds for Annabeth to
process it. But the others took about 5 minutes to process it. Finally they all closed their
eyes and imagined darkness.
Everything was going awesome.
Annaliece lead the way with the others close
behind. Annelie thought she might even
make it out alive, until she fell.
Annelie! Annabeth seemed to be mad
at herself, Its all my fault! If I had paid
more attention, and told her about the drop,
she would be right behind me right now,
Annabeth cried.
Annabeth, calm yourself. Well find
Annelie, shell be alright. Tate seemed serious for once.
Ouch! Annelie tried sitting up. She
felt sticky, she prayed it was not blood. Her
prayers were answered, but not the way she
wanted. Annelie was sitting in a pool of her

The Mini Adventure
By Kristen Schmit
Fourth Grade, Mrs. Ball
Westphalia School
Walks in the woods can be really
scary and if you dont believe me,
then read this!
Alice Huckleberry wanted to go
on a walk away from her little cottage. She just wished for quietness.
She was putting on her best dress
when she remembered she had to go
into the dirty, tree-filled forest, so
she changed to her ratty blue dress.
Mom, she said. Im going on a
walk.
Okay honey, but come back
before dinner time her mom said.
Okay Alice said, walking out the
door.
On her walk, Alice decided to pick
some flowers and surprise her mom.
Once she had almost finished picking
the flowers dark clouds came in but,
Alice didnt notice at all. By the time
she was done, the storm had been on
for one minute already so, Alice said
to herself, I better get going home.
On her way home, Alice came to a
little clearing. The storm was booming and flashing by now so Alice said
to herself, I better cross this clearing quickly. When she was in the
middle of the clearing,
a big lightning flash
came down quickly
and struck her! She
dropped her flowers
and closed her eyes.
She thought, I
am electrified, but,
instead of feeling like you would
be electrified, she felt like she was
being tickled. When the tickling
feeling stopped, she opened her
eyes. When she looked up, the grass
was ten feet tall! Alice thought, I
am dreaming, I am dreaming, I am
dreaming. Then she started saying it
out loud.
I am dreaming, I am dreaming, I
am dreaming. Then all the sudden,
she heard a voice say, No youre
not.
She looked up at a giant grasshopper!
W-who ar-re y-you? She stuttered. Her face was as pale as a
marshmallow because she was so

scared.
My name is Garza grasshopper
and I would like to ask, who are
you? Said the bug. My name is
Alice Huckleberry. Said Alice.
Nice to know, Alice said Garza.
Alice felt more confident now that
she knew Garza and everything.
Will you do me a favor Garza?
asked Alice. let me think about it for
a while, Garza replied. She hopped
away in the tall grass.
When she had made up her mind
and came back to Alice an hour later,
Garza finally said, Okay, I will, if it
is a good favor, that is.
I think it is good replied Alice,
getting excited.
Okay, then what is it? said
Garza, impatiently. She was just daring to know.
Well, could you help me find my
way home, to a cottage in the woods?
Alice asked (sounding like she was
begging).
I know exactly where that is!
exclaimed Garza. I pass it every day
when I hop along! Follow me! Garza
started to hop up and down with
excitement.
Well, you would get ahead of me
really well and then I would get lost
again worried Alice.
Okay, you can ride on my back,
because, after all, that is the only
place that you could ride on me.
Requested Garza.
I guess there is no other way.
Said Alice. After all, that is all I really
could do, Alice thought to herself.
So, do you want to get going?
Garza asked Alice. She was bouncing
as high as a grasshopper could hop
now.
Sure Alice replied. Okay, hop
on! Get it? I am a grass hopper and
I said hop on me! Ha ha ha ha ha.
Garza joked.
That is not too funny Alice
mumbled.
On their way, they had quite a
conversation. Alice told Garza what
she did at home. She told Garza how
lonely she was as an only child.
It is lonely, but, I deal with it.
Alice said sadly. She looked like she
was about to cry, but she held back
her tears.
You could play with me when I
pass by your house everyday suggested Garza.
What time do you pass by every
day? asked Alice.
Umm about noon Garza
replied. can we take a break here
Alice? asked Garza. Sure said
Alice. She was getting tired too.
During their break, another bug
came up.
Well hello Beeze said Garza.
Who is this? asked Alice.
My name is Beeze and I am a
bumble bee. Said the bee.
Whats yours? My name is Alice
Huckleberry said Alice bravely.
Will you do Alice a favor for me
Beeze? asked Garza.
What is the favor? asked Beeze.
I need someone to help me go to my
house, a little cottage in the woods
Alice piped up.
I know that place! exclaimed
Beeze. I go past it every time I decide
to take a walk in the woods!
So, will you help me? asked Alice,
hopefully.
Sure said Beeze.
Thank you Beeze said Alice and
Garza nicely.
Youre welcome said Beeze.
Lets get going.
Are we going to fly, like, in the
sky? asked Alice.
Yes, we are said Beeze.
Alice shuddered. She was afraid
of heights. She thought to herself,
face your fears, and face your fears.
And that was exactly what she
did. She got on Beeze and they took
off! It was an amazing view! She
could see mountains in the distance
and they were way past the end of the
woods.
Wow! she exclaimed. This is
amazing!
Yeah, isnt it? Beeze asked.
Umm.. It is perfect replied
Alice.
Oh, a flower way down there
said Beeze. Do you mind if I go get
some pollen?
I dont really care if you do or not
said Alice. So Beeze went down to go
get some pollen from a flower when,
all the sudden, the flower moved!
What are you doing standing on
me? it asked.
Am I standing on a flower that
talks? asked Alice.
I think so, Alice replied Beeze,
uncomfortably.
What is your name? Alice asked
the flower, which, of course, talked.
My name is Handy Dandy and, why
are you standing on me? replied the
flower.
Beeze here just wanted a spot to
rest, and, she thought this was a
good landing spot, and, of course, she
thought you were a random flower
just sitting in the middle of nowhere
Alice told her.
Oh, I have heard of a bumble bee
named Beeze and, from what I hear,
she is famous with lots of gold and
silver exclaimed Handy Dandy.

Umm. Weve got to go
right now so lets get going now
Alice said Beeze uncomfortably, trying to get away from the talking flower. She thought a flower that talks is
weird and she felt she needed to get
away from it.
Okay, fine said Alice, like she
didnt want to go. Bye Handy and,
nice meeting you! called Alice, right
before Beeze pulled her onto her
back.
A few minutes later, Beeze was
tired again.
This time, look out for talking
flowers because they creep me out.
Even though that was the first time I
bumped into one, I am never doing it
again said Beeze.
Okay, fine. Complained Alice.
I kinda liked her though.
Just dont talk about it, Alice!
Beeze said in a sharp way.
Later on in their fly they had a
nice discussion. They talked about
if they had a lot of friends or a little
amount of friends. They talked about
if they had a crush on somebody.
They talked about disgusting things.
So, Alice, have you had fun
today? Beeze asked, during their
discussion.
Yeah, its okay. I do kinda miss
home though. Alice replied. She
shed a tear.
I see what you mean, Alice. Ive
been away from home all my life
almost, though I do miss it, even if I
never really have been there.
The group was flying really high
in the sky and it was really fun for
them. The words whee and yahoo
were heard in the echoes that they
yelled. Beeze flew down onto the
ground, so they didnt land on another flower that talked.
This time I am totally staying on
the ground. Someone else might take
you home for me. I am worn to the
bone Beeze said sarcastically.
But, who would? Alice asked.
I would a beautiful voice sounded above.
Who said that? Alice asked,
looking up where the voice came
from.
I did and my names Butter.
Whats yours? said the person, or
bug.
My names Alice. You look pretty, or beautiful or wonde-
Whoa, Im that pretty? interrupted Butter. Well, I dont mean to
brag, but, I guess that is the most random thing to be said to a butterfly.
Yeah, I guess it is stated Alice.
So, do you want to help me go to my
house? The only one in the woods?
I would like that very very much.
So, will you? Alice asked, anxiously.
Sure said butter. I am just fine
with that.
Now that they were off flying in
the sky, fluttering lightly and beautifully, they were having a lot of fun.
You have great flying skills,
Butter Alice said happily, making
Butter smile.
Thank you Alice, you might too
if you had wings just like me replied
Butter.
On their way, Butter stopped to
get pollen from flowers a few times
(some of which talked) and they
enjoyed the peaceful smell of them.
Butter talked to a few of her friends
that were having picnics (such as the
ants) or they were playing hop scotch
on the rivers (such as the frogs). One
of her froggy friends was nice enough
to let the stay for a while and Butter
asked him to help Alice get home, for
Alice still didnt know the way. The
frog said yes and Butter stayed and
played while the frog helped Alice get
to her snug, safe house.
So, did you have a hard day?
asked the frog. Never mind that
question. So, oh my, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Frankfort,
Frankfort the frog. How do you like
my name? Frankfort continued on
and on with the talking while Alice
just walked beside him.
So, did you like my story?
Frankfort asked a minute later
(which seemed like a long time to
Alice).
What? Alice asked. For, she
wasnt listening to him.
Oh, nothing, nothing at all
Frankfort laughed and snorted. Ha
ha ha he he he, oh, you know how to
tell a joke, uh, whats your name?
Alice, my name is Alice. Alice
said in a proper way.
Finally, they made it to Alices
house.
Oh thank you, thank you! How
can I ever repay you? Alice asked
Frankfort.
No need to- whoa! he said as
Alice jumped up on him to give him a
hug (although he was wet and a little
mossy).
As Alice walked into the house,
she felt a tinkling feeling throughout
her body. She was growing bigger
and bigger, and she made it home just
in time! Dinner was ready!
Well, hello Alice. You made it
just in time for dinner. How was your
walk? her mom asked.
That was surely one walk I am
never forgetting
Every day after that for the rest
of her life, she would go outside and
examine the nature and look at all of
her friends, especially her favorite
kind, the butterfly.
The Crazy Classroom
By Marissa Lansdown
Fifth Grade, Mrs. West
Crest Elementary School
One Monday morning, the
school board decided to put up
security cameras. That was a
problem for the items in the
fifth grade classroom. Every
day they would come
to life and party,
but now they
couldnt, because
they knew that
someone
would
be watching them
constantly. They would
have to be very still.
On Tuesday afternoon, while
the children were at lunch, the
teachers were at a meeting and
the camera men on break, the
markers had a small huddle
behind the podium. They decided to make a tower of markers
the next day. So thats what
they did, but they didnt have
enough markers!
Since that didnt work,
the crayons got into a huddle
behind the podium and talked and talked and talked. Then
they realized that theyve been
spotted by a girl named Violet.
She always had a big imagination, but she knew this was
real. All of it. She was fascinated, but puzzled at the same
time. She didnt know what
to do. The crayons started to
sneak past her, but then she
suddenly screamed!
The purple crayons glasses
shattered into, like, 50 pieces!
(Because crayons are so small.
Do you get it?) The yellow and
red crayon have headaches.
The blue and green crayons
have earaches.
As soon as Violet quit
screaming, all of the ninja crayons jumped into action. They
tied her feet together, tied her
hands together, and duct-taped
her mouth shut. All of the
crayons helped drag her into a
secret tunnel. All of the crayons
helped untie her and the violet-colored ninja ripped off the
duct tape and started to ask a lot
of questions.
Violet just sat in silence
while the marker board eraser
talked to the markers. She was
about to get up and run, but
then the gray, shy crayon whispered into her ear, Could you
turn off the security cameras?
Then she whispered back,
Sure, anything else?
Well, could you not tell anybody about this?
About what?
About the objects in the
fifth grade classroom?
Of course I can keep a
secret! This is the best day of
my life!
Great. Um… Could we be
friends, you know, if you want?
Then the gray crayon yelled
to the other objects, Violet will
turn off the cameras and not tell
anybody about us!
Everybody cheered and hollered. Violet and gray crayon
became best friends.

One day a couple of months
ago, I passed a house. The door
was opened. I saw something lying
there so I called the cops. They said,
It was a murder. They wanted to
know if anyone knew him. But no
one did except one person.
His name was Butch Cassidy.
He said that he hated him. They did
a DNA test and it wasnt him. The
cops wanted to know who did it.
They searched and searched but
they did not find out who did it.
Then it came to them. They decided to check the murder house. It
was Sam Pindergas. They had him
arrested.
They put a camera and the only
one that came in was Sam. They
did a DNA test. The test result was
true. It was Sam.
I was awarded for my bravery. I
was happy. My mom gave me a lot
of ice cream, too.
It was true. I solved a murder
case. Or did I? Oh wait, I did. I
think.
Wait. I just got called by the
police. Sam didnt do it. They got
the DNA mixed up.
It was Bob Willings from Iola. I
didnt solve a murder case.
This was a good and bad day
but is it true that they got the test
results wrong, cause Bob did not
murder Madie.

The Wild West
By Karson Hermreck
Fourth Grade, Mrs. Graham
Garnett Elementary School
Bam! Pow! Boom!
Outlaws from the wild west
are tying to rob the bank, but
I can stop them because Im
Bob Cowbells and
Im the towns
marshal. Im
the best marshal ever. Im
a fast running,
sharp
shooting, knife fighting
machine, but dont judge me
by that because Im a nice
guy. But when it comes to
outlaws, I can get out of control. Which reminds me of a
rootin tootin campfire story
that Im going to tell you.
I was playing cards and
about to die from the heat,
and all of the sudden I hear
the banker call help. So I ran
to the bank and theres 20
men trying to rob the place
but when they saw me they
took the firearms and horses
too. I jumped on my horse
and chased them down, but
my horse got tired so I had
to run. When I finally caught
up to them they started to
shoot at me but I climbed on
and shot 15 of them. Then
the wagon fell into the river
and I almost died, but I borrowed a mans fishing pole
and broke it over the outlaws
heads, giving them a concussion. They started to fight me.
I stabbed three of them with
my knife, and knocked out a
lot of them.
Now it was one on one, and
I was worn out. I rocked the
wagon and we both fell into
the water and swam to land.
As he ran away, I punched
him and broke his leg. I
wasnt done yet.
Their outlaw friends
arrived, and I was in trouble.
I pulled out my gun and shot
20 men and caught 10 of them.
Then five men were left so I
wrestled and wrestled for a
long time, but before I jump
on one of them they had me,
but I punched and kicked and
killed two of them and the
others surrendered.
The Void
By Phoebe Hutchinson
Sixth Grade, Mrs. Thurston

What is beyond the world we
know? Sometimes I wonder the
same thing. Over and over again,
the thought haunts me. Never will
I forget the day when I was just
inches away from finding out the truth. So
close I could feel it.
The thing is, how do
I know I was close
when I wasnt even
sure what I was looking for?
It was a cool fall morning n Sioux
City, Iowa. The dim lights seemed to
glow from the power plant south of
me. Iowa isnt the prettiest state, but
it was home to me. Mom stepped out
of the door and smiled at me.
Are you ready? she asked.
I scoffed. Yeah, sure.
Mom grimaced and then sighed.
Youll make new friends, she said.
Trust me.
I dont want new friends. I like my
old friends. They were true and loyal.
Especially Jaymes. I didnt tell him I
was leaving, either.
Mom, can I go tell Jaymes goodbye? I asked.
Sure, you can, honey. The moving van wont be here until 3:30,
Mom replied.
I nod at her and walk down the
street. Jaymes house was in the historical quarter. Its huge. Im sure
hell be awake by now, so I knock on
the door and walk inside. He came
home. It will take about 15 min- running down the stairs in a panic.
What Sparky does at home
By Anna Hermreck
Fifth Grade, Mrs. West
Crest Elementary School
There once was a girl named
Josie. She had a dog named
Sparky.
Bye, Sparky. Im off to
school. I will see you
later, said Josie.
After the car
pulled out, Sparky
ran to the closet
and got out some
balloons and party
decorations. After he
put them all up, he ran to the
pantry and got out a lot of dog
food and party snacks.
After everything was set up,
he ran to the slide door and
started howling and barking.
A few minutes alter, a bunch of
dogs ran inside.
Sparky jumped up on the
table and hit the stereo button
with his paw and started playing, Who Let the Dogs Out.
All of the dogs were ripping up
pillows and breaking stuff.
It was such a fun party for
the dogs. Even Sparky was
enjoying it. He had just met the
poodle down the street and was
talking (barking) to her.
So, you go to parties often?
asked Sparky.
When all of the sudden
the phone rang. No one could
answer it because they were all
dogs so the message recorder
played. It was Josie.

utes to get there. Hang in there,
bud. Bye.
Sparkys heart started
pounding. He quickly jumped
up on the table, turned off the
stereo and started barking.
Listen up, everyone. That
was my owner, Josie. The best
owner I could ask for. Shes on
her way home, and the place
is trashed. I need to clean it up
before she gets here. I need you
all to leave. Hurry. We dont
have much time.
All of the dogs ran out as fast
as they could. Sparky jumped
down and started cleaning. A
few of his dog friends stayed,
including his doggy sweetheart,
Princess.
It took about 10 minutes.
They straightened the couch
cushions, which took about
three minutes. When they finally finished, Sparky said goodbye to his friends and Princess.
But then Sparky heard the
car pull into the driveway, so
he quickly closed the slide door
and laid down on the big rug
in the middle of the room and
acted like he was asleep.
When Josie walked in she
saw him on the rug.
Aw. He looks so worn out,
said Josie.
How could he be? He never
does anything. He just had a
normal day at home, said her
brother, Mark.
Yep, just a normal day at
home, thought Sparky.

Why are you here? Jaymes
shrieked at me.
I I came to tell you… then he
cut me off.
I know. Youre leaving, he said,
calming himself slightly.
Im sorry, I say, hugging him.
Its alright, he said. I just have
to show you something before you
leave.
He pulled me by my wrist to his
attic, which was lighted by the natural light filing through the massive
window. The oaken floors echoed
my footsteps as I walked. Jaymes
shivered a bit and opened a rounded
door by the massive window. If he
hadnt done that, I wouldnt have
even noticed the door was there. The
room we stepped into was dark and
musty and smelled of rotting mice.
Dude, light a candle, I say, covering my nose.
Oh, shut up, he said, flickering
an oil lamp on. I know it doesnt
smell the best, but this is important.
Oh my gosh, are you a secret
hoarder? I laugh, smacking one of
the lamps.
Ummm, no, Jaymes sneered.
He pointed at a clock in the back
corner, beckoning me to come forward. The clock was made of birch
and spruce. It seemed to call me
toward it. I reach out, slowly, to touch
the face of the clock when Jaymes
grabbed my hand. He looked at me
in such a way no one has ever looked
at me before. Next, Jaymes grabbed
a lamp and dropped it. Before the
lamp could hit the ground, he deftly
took his hand and placed it on the
clock face, closing his eyes. Abruptly,
the world seemed to slow down and
everything stopped. It was silent.
Like nothing I had ever experienced
before. The only thing that still
looked somewhat alive was Jaymes.
How. Did. You… I shake my
head. What are you?
He grins a little and speaks gently, Its not what I am. Its the place
were in.
I furrow my brow in frustration.
Is this some kind of joke? Or is this
really real?
What is this? I say, my voice
dense in the solid silence.
Its the Void, Jaymes said.
Time, here, doesnt exist.
Im in awe. I must look like a fish
out of water, because all I can do is
open and close my mouth.
This room, he said, pointing to
the walls, then drawing closer to me.
Doesnt exist.
I push away from him. I dont
know if I like this.
He shakes his head and looks at
me. His eyes are so blue, like ice.
Im so close, Charlotte. So close,
he said, his eyes watering. I can see
them in front of me.
Jaymes parents had died about a
year ago and hes been searching for
a way to see them again.
Jaymes, youre insane. The dead
shouldnt be messed with, I whisper.
Then, stay here with me,
Jaymes said. I cant have anyone
else I love leave me.
A blinding light flashed in front of
me and the room turned dark. I heard
voices all around my head, yelling at
me. I see shadows and figures appearing everywhere. This wasnt right.
Whatever this is or wherever this is,
it shouldnt be messed with.
I can see them! Jaymes yelled.
He started running toward the light
in the left side of the room. I pull on
his jacket, trying to keep him back.
He turns and looks at me. I have
to be with them.
I shake my head and start to cry.
No, no, no. Ill stay here with you.
Just dont go, please.
He kisses my cheek and smiles at
me. I have to go now.
I see the last of him walking into
the light and hes gone. Forever.
Gone from the world, the universe.
The last words that linger in my head
to this day of his: I cant have anyone else I love leave me.
He loved me.
I walk to the house. No time has
gone by. No day had been wasted.
Mom was still waiting outside.
That was quick, she replied. I
nod to her.
It was longer than you think, I
reply.
Every day, I think of him. Even
in my 20s. It was possible that he
couldve been more than my best
friend. But the world took him.
No.
The Void took him.

Tomorrow we need to get one

while driving the plane down on

as he was walking to

Finally

with relief while he was walking

in the plane. With twenty guns in

After youre done we will start
to head up to Vietnam. But first
all of you need to get weighed in.
shouted Josh getting ready to get
weighed in. George is one hundred

George you cant go so, Mark
your taking his place. replied Josh
really upset.
Why, is Mark taking my place?
asked George really suspicious.
George the rules say have to be

Okay, I get it so what do you
want me to do. Replied George

The Mystery of the Missing Treasure Chest SECRET SIX…
By Clem Filbrun
Fourth Grade, Mrs. Ball
Westphalia Elementary School
HONORABLE MENTION
In the mountains can be
very scary. In the year of 2016,
Logan, Bob and Billy lived
in a small town near Mount
Everest. They liked to go on
hikes on the mountain.
Its such a beautiful day!
exclaimed Logan. They were on
a hike.
Its so tranquil out, said
Billy.
I know, right? echoed Bob.
This is awesome. We should
do this more often, grinned
Logan.
When they got to the top
they saw a cave. They decided
to go in it.
Come look at this!
screamed Logan.
What is it? howled Billy.
Its gold! cried Logan.
He grabbed the treasure
chest and they all ran down the
mountain. Then they put it in
their basement. The next day
they got up and went upstairs
to eat breakfast. Then they
went back downstairs to look
A wave of emotions swept
through the family as they
glanced at the midnight black
casket. They all knew it was
sized for a grown woman,
not for the little 5 year-old
who lay stiffly inside it. The
girl was beautiful, with light
golden curls, peach skin, rosy
cheeks and sparkling brown
eyes. But now, her face frozen, the color from her gone,
the family cried at the sight of
her.
Her name had been
Kaylynne. She was a little ray
of sunshine. She loved animals and cake. She was quiet,
smart and very polite. She
rode her pony, Pickle, every
day.
One day, little Kaylynne
was riding her bike with her
parents. She looked both ways
before crossing, but a black
van hit her with a BANG!
The black van sped off, leaving Kaylynne stranded and
severely injured in the middle of the street. She passed
over the Rainbow Bridge minutes later.
So as the family began to
weep, a crisp, icy rain began
to fall as if it joined them
in sorrow. They carefully
lowered the casket into the
ground, putting the final
touches on her headstone.
But one family member did
not look at the stone.
Ten years pass and they
find the criminal. It was
Uncle Ed, and they sentence
him to 30 years of solitary
confinement. Kaylynns parents found little peace, and
they sometimes swear they
hear her sweet little laugh.

Oh my monkeys! Oh my monkeys! Im going to die here, without
my mom, my dad, not even Annabeth,
Annaliece, Carson, Tate, or Rory.
Okay, okay, just try to stop the blood,
she told herself.
Annelie chose that moment to
think about the Hobbit. The scene
flashed. Gollum appeared in front of
her.
Does it taste good? Gollum
seemed to be asking Annelie if she
tasted good.
No. It does not taste good, no
good at all, Annelie answered. She
tried to stay awake and alive.
Well let me taste its blood,
Gollum demanded.
Annelie didnt close her eyes, but
she imagined darkness, a way out.
This time she didnt end up where
she was before she met Gollum. She
ended up half dead at Annabeths feet.
She was faintly aware of Annabeth
cursing to herself then kneeling down
and examining Annelies wound.
When Annelie woke, she found out
she was not the only one trying to kill
herself. Rory also tried to plunge into
nothingness, but luckily Rory also
imagined darkness, but this time he
ended up at Tates feet.
Rorys fall was not as far as
Annelies. He only came back with
a cut on his forehead. After everyone
tried dying, they finally got going.
Tate closed his eyes and imagined darkness, just like he was told.
Annabeth laced his fingers with hers.
Well be alright. When we get
back, Im going to ask Reanna to
make cake for us. Its the Secret Sixs
anniversary, Annabeth whispered.
Tate forgot all about the anniversary. Reanna, Annabeths sister, was
a professional cake decorator.

Okay, who wanted to see the

Surprisingly, it was not Annelie, it
was Rory. They wandered around for
a few minutes and then, they were in
Rorys backyard.
No one think of anything,
demanded Carson.
Too late, announced Annaliece.
Then why hadnt the scene
changed? Maybe the tunnel lead to
Rorys backyard. Since the scene
hadnt changed already, Carson
shared his thoughts.
I think Reanna should bake a
cake, Rory decided.
I was thinking the same th— Annaliece couldnt finish the sentence.
Rory where have you been!? it
was Rorys mother, Gone for 2 days
and then you just pop up in the backyard?
Annelie was taken to the hospital
and the others went home.
When the day was over, the police
were contacted. Reanna made a cake
to celebrate the anniversary and
them being alive. Life went on as
usual after that.
When Annabeth was 18 the Secret
Meadow was given to her from
Reannas husband, Matthew, the
owner.
Annabeth opened the Secret

could keep this safe. I answered
after I walked up to the tiny service
window. He looked at me curiously
as I pulled off the blanket and set
the cage on the table. He chuckled.
Officer Pine and I knew each other
pretty well since I helped to recover
some missing items the past summer.
And why, Salem, would you
want to keep this little guy all caged
up and safe? How did you get im
anyway? He questioned curiously.
His deep bass voice reverberated
through the window. It sounded
almost like he was standing in front
of me. The falcon hadnt uttered a
chirp when I pulled off the blanket
but now I thought he might burst
into a fit of squawks.
Venn came to me. He flew
through my window yesterday
morning carrying this on his leg.
I replied seriously handing him the
piece of paper. And last night someone came to my house. He made
a hooting noise and after he heard
Venn freak out he went sprinting
across the field behind our house.
Mom is really rattled. I finished
as I looked up at Officer Pine. He
was a full foot taller than me and I
was 5.6 and a half. He looked a little
bit more interested after that bit of
information. He was staring at the
paper.
Thank you Salem. Well send
some plain cloths men to be there
when the contents of this note is
acted out. And well keep Fen too.
He added as he turned to leave.
Its Venn. Thank you, sir.
I left, but this time to see if the
black car was really following me,
I took a short cut to my friend Leos
house. He always knew what to
do in strange situations. Plus my
other friend Lillianas house was
just down the block. The short cut
took me through an alley where I
threw the black car off my trail and
high tailed it to Leos. I saw his
light blue house up ahead and slowly
began to slow down. I flipped my left
leg over my seat and next to my right
while leaning my bike to the side to
keep my balance. I was just about
ready to dismount when a speeding
car almost made me fall on the curb.
I quickly pulled into Leos drive way
and looked to see the license plate.
The car was black, and it didnt
have one. I knew it was the same
one as before because the scrape was
there, gleaming silver in the bright
sunlight. Now my suspicions were
confirmed.
Hey! Salem! Did you get the
license plate on that car? A voice
next to my ear made me jump. A
thirteen inch helicopter with a really tiny screen on it hovered next to
me. The screen had a tiny picture of
Leo waving at me. His skin and hair
looked slightly grey due to a bad
camera.
No. It didnt have one. I
responded distractedly as I looked
back in the direction of the car.
Well come inside! I have got
to show you my newest tracking
thingy for Abu next time he gets
lost. Leo cried excitedly, almost
loud enough to crack the speaker.
I chuckled as I pulled my bike next
to his fence. Leos dog always got
lost. Leo and his parents have gone
to the brink of desperation to make
Leo create something to resolve the
problem.
I ascended the stairs to his room,
waved hello to his two little brothers
and parents and nearly tripped on
the remote control trucks scattered
everywhere. I stepped into Leos
room and took note to how messy
it was. It wasnt really messy, just
disorganized.
Look at this. If Abu gets lost,
I just turn on my computer and
click this and this pops up which
show his location. He exclaimed
enthusiastically. The glare off of his
laptop screen reflected on his nerdy
glasses and his black hair looked
kind of like he hadnt brushed it yet.
Now how to test it? He muttered as
he chewed on the end of his pencil.
That was his nervous habit. Mine
was pulling on my sleeves in the
winter.
Leo, something is not right.
I think Im on to something; that
black car without the license plate
has followed me all over town. I
need to do something. I declared
desperately. He just turned back to
his computer screen and typed a few
things.
Hmm. You sound upset. You
know, if it makes you feel safer, Ill
let you try out my tracker? Leo
suggested as he turned back around
in his rolling chair. I thought about
it. If anything happened to me then
the authorities would be able to find
me. It was a half way decent plan.
All right, but I will not be your
test dog all the time. I joked casually. Okay, now I need a way out so
that the car wont see me. Could you
let me take my bike through your
house? I questioned
Sure thing. Just dont let Mom
see you. He replied mischievously
as he grinned from ear to ear. I
could almost see the resemblance to
my evil cat in his eyes.
So there I was, ten minutes
later after I quietly carried my bike
through Leos house. His mom
caught me, but when I told her what
I was doing she was fine. Just as
long I promised to vacuum their
white carpet. I quickly drove down
the alley careful not to attract attention. I looked through the trash bins
every time I thought I was being
followed. I also decide to skip out
on Lillian today. She would understand when I told her.
I began to notice that my red
T-shirt wasnt good camouflaged. So
I took all the back alleys to the edge
of town where I stopped cruising
and went full speed onto the slightly paved private drive that led to
my house. A green canopy of trees
covered me from the beating sun
and I was in the shadow. I kept
looking back to make sure the black
car wasnt following me. I glanced
down at my new watch that Leo
had given me. It was a perfect disguise since I always wore a watch.
I finally got home and our light yellow house greeted me. Still, I knew
that black car could come down that
drive.
The rest of the day I spent riding
my black stallion, Artemis. Before I
went to bed I grabbed my iPad and
called Chris and Tony via Video
chat. I waited. The iPad processed.
Finally, I heard a PING! It was high
and shrill and I knew it was the iPad
saying that my call had made it.
Soon afterward I heard scuffling on
the other side and Chris came into
view on the no longer black screen.
Hi Salem. He said waving at
me. I smiled back and returned the
hello.
What brings my little sister to
video chat me this day? He joked
trying to sound like Shakespeare. I
smiled. His tan skin indicated hed
been in the sun at camp. He isnt
normally aloud to have electronics
at camp but the camp he and Tony
are going to are allowing it after 7:00
p.m.
Oh, not much. Just a case. I
replied casually. His face darkened
with jealousy.
Hey Tony, come here. Salem
wants to tell us all about what shed
been doing. Chris spoke over his
shoulder. I heard more movement
and saw Tony lean over his shoulder.
HI! He cried excitedly.
Hello. I returned. Okay, it
all started yesterday after art club
when I found a falcon in my room
And I continued on until I arrived at
the most recent part of the story. In
between then, there were gasps from
my brothers and their faces just kept
getting graver and graver as the danger got worse.
You be careful, Salem. Chris told
me as I signed off. And the screen
went dark again.
When I went
to bed that night I just couldnt help
but wonder what was going to happen that very night.
1:27 a.m. Im awakened by the
sound of something scratching on
my wall. Its coming from outside
but I cant see it from my bed. I turn
on my flashlight and I see something
that looks like a rope moving across
my window. I look at where my
watch should be, on the dresser and
find that it isnt there, but on my
wrist instead. I had left it on by accident after talking to my brothers.
All of a sudden a stocking capped
head popped up next to my window.
It was the guy who had come the
night before! I ran out into the hall
to go and get Mom, but there was a
man blocking the stairs. I would not
be able to fight my way out because
both men were burly and had guns
at their waists. I was completely
surrounded. How did they get in?
Then the man coming through the
window got in and the other man
pulled his gun out and shoot me.
I closed my eyes and grabbed
where he shot me. But there was no
blood. Just a little dart. No wonder
the gun didnt make a sound. It was
a dart gun and I had been poisoned.
I also remembered forgetting to
lock my windows. Slowly the world
started to spin and I dropped my
flashlight. I put my hand on the way
and slid down the side. I landed gently on the floor and stayed conscious
long enough to see the window guy
reach down to pick me up. Then I
passed out.
The world was spinning again. I
looked to my right side, saw a trash
can and threw up. Then I lost consciousness, again.
My eyes snapped open.
Everything was dark and I was tied
to a chair. The ropes dug into my
legs where my pajama shorts were
not. I noticed my hands were zip tied
behind my back. They dug into my
skin too. Obviously this had been a
kidnapping. Immediately I started
to twist the ties. If you twist them
enough and then jerk them against
yourself really hard, theyll snap.
Wait. I stopped. Voices. There were
voices in the other room. A bright
light turned on and I blinked vigorously. Another burly man walked
into the light.
Do you know why youre here?
He interrogated as he walked all the
way around my chair.
No. But Im guessing it has
something to do with the note. I
answered. He stopped walking and
hesitated. I knew that he knew. He
probably thought I was a mindless
girl that he would have to tell everything. But I knew why I was there.
He started walking again.
You have stumbled upon a very
important plan. When our falcon
flew to your house instead of the
hideout of my colleague. I did not
receive a message back so I went to
investigate. I searched all the houses and probed for a reply from our
falcon. That was when I found him
at your house. He paused allowing
me to speak.
Youre the man at the window
who hooted in the middle of the
night. That was what you were
trying to find Venn with. I replied
excitedly.
Venn? Whos Venn? He questioned inquisitively. I could see his
face then and the tie that I was twisting had begun to cut my wrists.
I…kind ofsort of named your
falcon. I guiltily retorted as my
head sunk under to my shoulders.
Humph. Well then. He continued coldly, My colleague and
I decided to proceed with the plan
even though we saw that you had
given Endus to the authorities.
Earlier we played out the plan
and my colleague was caught but I
escaped. Now I need you as something special. He finished evilly.
Wait, before you go into details.
Can I at least know what you and
your cronies were going to do on
Fireflare Street? I requested interestedly. He just smiled evilly.
We were going to kill Carl
Flauyer. He has something of my
colleagues and me. We just wanted
it back. He finished. The danger I
was in then increased considerably.
I prayed mom had woken up when
she heard my flashlight fall. All of
a sudden one of Evil mans cronies
came in with some news. I couldnt
hear what they were saying but I
knew it concerned them greatly.
Let Go of Me! Was the next
thing I heard. Then a lot of thrashing. But wait I knew that voice.
They had found my best friend.
Leo! What in the name of
Sanity are you doing here? I cried.
Secretly I was very glad to see him.
He being there meant that he had
either been up late on his computer
and saw my blimp moving away
from my house or my mom had
called him and the police and had
found me.
Rescuing you of course. He
replied as they pushed him into a
chair and tied him to it.
Sir, the kid came with this.
One of the really buff guys said as
he handed Evil Man Leos iPad. He
had been tracking me. Also theres
a phone call for you.
Oh, yeah. You might want to
answer that. I think your colleague
might have something to say. Leo
interrupted as the enormous man
lifted his chair and set it back to
back behind mine. Not that that
would be a hard thing to do. Leo
wasnt very heavy.
What! Give me that. Hello?…
No, Why?…What!… That is impossible, my men are guarding the
building!.. I see. Thank you. He
slammed the phone shut. It seems
Miss Salem that the Police have surrounded every particle of the building and if I use either one of you as a
shield they will take me into custody
anyway.
Snap! I broke the ties. Well
isnt that wonderful. Thank you sir
for your time. I said as I untied
my ropes then Leos. We will just
walk out of here then. Good bye.
Leo and I turned and triumphantly
walked out of a warehouse.
The following morning after I
had gotten home and slept a while,
it was announced on the news about
the kidnapping and attempted murder. Everything was buzzing. Leo
and I got an award each and were
invited to a banquet. All was well
and the bad guys were in jail serving
charges for it all. A day after I was
sitting at home reading when

they jumped on top of me on my bed.

HONORABLE MENTION
Hi, Im Flame and Im a super
hero! Im 12 years old and Im
not going to tell you my secret
identity. Let me tell you about
my friend, Dr. Mas.
Dr. Mas isnt a good guy and
hes not my friend. Hes a super
villain. He is from an ice dimension.
Im from a fire dimension.
From my name, you can tell
that I shoot fire. I also fly. Lets
come back to the fight.
Hey man, where did your
henchmen go? I said.
Look behind you, he said.
As I was fighting, he tried to
freeze me but I dodged it and it
hit a little girl.
Thats cold! I said.
I put a shield around her and
I, and unfroze the girl. After I
unfroze her, there was a problem. The only way I fly is to
light myself on fire and the last
time I checked, little girls arent
fireproof.
Also, all of Dr. Mas henchmen were around the shield. So
I flew up and started blasting.
There were probably 300 guys.
After about an hour, they all
melted.
Then I looked down and saw
that both the girl and Dr. Mas
were gone! When I was fighting, he took her. I had to find
her. So I went around Colony,
my hometown, asking people if
they knew who she is. I found
someone whose daughter is
missing. Her name is Andrya.
She goes to my school.
At least I knew her name.
She is lost, still. I told her father
that she is lost and I will find
her. I didnt tell him about Dr.
Mas.
After two days of searching,
I found someone who knew.
Caleb Nolan is a boy in my
class. He saw someone leave
town with a girl in the direction
of Iola. He was in an ice cream
truck ironically. I thanked
Caleb and went on my way.
I flew to Iola to find the
truck. I found it three miles
from Super 8. I transformed
into my secret identity and
asked the clerk about him.
His name is Chuck Lee. I went
home and looked him up on
Google. On Facebook, he is 37
and works at Pizza Hut. He is
from Iceland. Get it? Ice land.
Funny. Anyway, I was tired. I
had a long day. I went to sleep.
Wow! What a good nights
sleep. Now, to find Andrya. I
went to Super 8 and asked the
clerk. He said he was on the
roof with a kid. I went outside,
transformed and flew up to the
roof. Andrya was tied up and
Dr. Mas was going to go to his
dimension with her.
I took a warning shot and
said, Next time I wont miss.
He started shooting at me. As
I was flying over the building,
about 10 people were calling
someone or taking pictures of
our fight.
I stopped to wave. As I waved,
he hit me. I was falling off the
roof in a block of ice. I thought,
Im Flame, and I can catch on
fire. Of course, Ill melt it.
Heres the awesome part.
Right as I hit the roof I broke
out and shot like a bullet and
grabbed the girl.
Shes saved!
I put her on the ground and
went back to the roof. I blasted
him into the portal and then I
shut it.
As I came down everyone was shouting, Hotshot!
Hotshot! Hotshot!
Thats how I got my name,
Hotshot!

It was a cool, cloudy night.
Evan was in his room playing
his computer game with friends.
Evans room was decorated with
posters of games and movies,
with his bed at the corner and a
TV right by it. On the other side
was Evans brand new computer. Evan was a 15-year-old boy
with brown eyes, and short, blond
hair.
However, outside he heard a
roar. Evan went out of his apartment, to the lobby, and out the
door, and apparently his friends
were there. His friends were
Wayne, Con and Brock. When
they went outside, what they saw
blew their minds. There were
dinosaurs.
Con saw a T-Rex with his dinosaur friends.
Nobody move. Then they cant
see you. Look, Finns already
sneaking up behind them, Con
said.
One T-Rex did see Finn,
however, and then all the dinosaurs friends started chasing
him. From Evan and his friends
points of view, Finn disappeared
behind a building with the dinosaurs chasing him. Then he went
back to the left side, disappeared
with the dinosaurs following him.
Eventually Finn came running
to Evan and the others. Get in,
get in, get in! he started shout-
ing.
They all went inside, thinking
they were safe. But then the dinos
decided to break through the wall.
All of Evans friends started running through a hallway of open
doors. They split up into different
doors. The dinos did the exact
same thing. Everyone was going
through random doors, coming
out of another one. Then a bunch
of animals came out of nowhere
like they were in the chase. It was
like a Scooby Doo moment!
Im so confused. Whats going
on here? Wayne exclaimed.
Just run back through the
hallway and head to the top!
Evan shouted.
They started running toward
the elevator and the dinosaurs
somehow fit in it. As the elevator
was going up to the roof, everyone was in there. No one was
being attacked. When the elevator did reach the top, the chase
started again!
They ran and ran and ran and
ran, until one of the dinosaurs
got Evan cornered at the edge. He
fell, going faster and faster, until
he hit the solid concrete ground,
but it didnt feel like it. It felt like
his bed. It was his bed. The whole
city disappeared before his eyes
and turned into his room. When
he looked outside, it was as if
nothing every happened. It was
his dream.
I really need to stop watching
shows about dinosaurs, he whispered to himself.
Id buy a Mustang and load
up my suitcase and stuff. Then
Id start for Florida. Next Id
buy a house in Florida and put
my suitcase and stuff in it. The
next morning, Id buy a speed
bike and go to the beach. Id put
on my swimming trunks and a
red life jacket with flaming fire
on it. Id have a fishing pole, an
inner tube and a tackle box. Id
jump on my tube and cast out.
Soon, Id have something on
my line. Id have 500 pound test
line. I thought it was a whale,
