Jail still grapples with inmate medical care
Machine for diabetic
inmate added $13K to
jails healthcare costs
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – The cost of renting special equipment to treat
a diabetic inmate last year
cut into the savings from a
new health care plan at the
Anderson County Jail, but
ultimately the new plan still
kept costs lower than when the
county paid for its own health
care expenses.
In 2015, the jail spent
$60,235.34 in medical care for
inmates, according to a report
released recently by Anderson
County
Sheriff
Vernon
Valentine.
Thats significantly lower
than costs in 2012 and 2013,
which were $105,702 and
$71,332, respectively, when
the county picked up the tab
for health care expenses on a
straight fee for service basis. In
2014, costs were about $53,890;
that year, health care was split
between the county and a new
health care system.
Advanced
Correctional
Healthcare, an Illinois-based
company that provides health
care services to jails and prisons in more than 17 states,
took over the jails health care
June 12, 2014. Under Advanced,
a nurse and a doctor make regular visits to the jail, and a
physician is on call to advise
staff if an inmates condition
requires a trip to the hospital,
which comes with additional
costs. ACH also provides training and insurance, as well as
medicine and programs to
manage chronic conditions
like diabetes. Healthcare costs
for out-of-county inmates will
be reimbursed by the inmates
home county.
The argument for hiring
ACH was to offset and stabilize
increasing medical costs, espe-
cially a few years ago when it
appeared some inmates were
taking advantage of lax rules
at the jail to treat long-standing
medical issues. At one point, an
inmate claimed she needed an
organ transplant and demanded the county to pick up the tab;
her condition later was found
to be significantly less dire, but
still resulted in hefty medical
bills.
But in 2015, the first full year
that ACH provided healthcare
at the jail, inmates with special
medical needs continued to add
to the jails health expenses.
Valentine estimated the jail
housed special needs inmates
as much as five months of the
year.
A diabetic inmate required
the use of a Wound VAC,
or negative-pressure wound
therapy that uses a vacuum
dressing to help heal acute or
chronic wounds. Rental costs
of that machine topped $13,000.
Valentine said he believed it

Report: Holiday
New Royalty
retail sales started
Crest, Central Heights crown homecoming kings, queens
strong, but busted
Sales tax collections
show abrupt drops in
recent months
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA Despite what
started as a strong holiday
shopping season in 2015,
retail sales in Anderson
County and Garnett abruptly dropped at the end of the
year, based on recent sales
tax collections.
Anderson
Countys
total sales tax collections
between July 2015 and
January 2016 lagged behind
collections at the same time
last year by about 7.9 percent. Collections in Garnett
were down by 2.7 percent.
Sales tax collections,
as reported by the Kansas
Department of Revenue in
Topeka, are a good indicator
of retail economic activity
because they show if businesses bring in more or
fewer retail sales year to
year. Sales tax collections
typically are reported and
distributed about a month
after they are collected,
which means retail activity
in December will be reflected in the January report.
Based on reports for
the past three months, it
appears the local holiday
shopping season started
strong but ended with a
bust.
In reports for November
and December, which
actually reflect sales that
took place in October and
November, sales tax collections in Garnett were up by
12.3 percent and 22.9 percent,
respectively. In Anderson
County as a whole, sales tax
collections fell by 4.8 percent
in November (which reflects
October sales) but were up
by 10.7 percent in December
(reflects November sales).
The bottom fell out the
following month.
January sales tax collections, which reflect sales
that took place in December,
abruptly dropped by more
than 17 percent for both
Garnett and Anderson
County, compared to the
previous year.
The City of Garnett collected $20,307.27 in sales
tax in January 2016, down
from $24,704.17 collected in
January 2015. For the fiscal
year so far, which started in
July 2015, the city has collected $158,941.12 compared
to $154,693.25 at the same
point last year.
With a limited retail business community, the figures
for Anderson County and
Garnett are heavily swayed
by fluxuations in the sales
of larger ticket items like

Think safety when it comes
to controlled pasture burning
Annual spring burn
also time to think about
fire safety precautions
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Its just about that
time of the year, again. Time
for a refreshing spring rain,
freshly turned earth and new
green growth.
But before those things
arrive, its time for a little fire
and smoke.
The annual prescribed burning season is nearly here, a
time when farmers and ranchers intentionally set fire to pasture and cropland as a natural
method to maintain and restore
the land.
Prescribed burning is a common tool used by many farmers, ranchers and other land
owners. It comes with risks,
however, as weather conditions or improper planning
easily can turn dangerous.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA – Unemployment
rates locally and across the
state dropped to levels not
seen in 15 years, according
to a report from the Kansas
Department of Labor.
The jobless rate in Anderson
County was 3.7 percent in
December 2015, which translates to 168 people without jobs
out of a civilian labor force
of 4,485. Compared to the previous month and previous
year, unemployment decreased
slightly. It was 3.8 percent in
November, and 3.9 in December
2014.
Statewide, the unemployment rate was 3.9 percent, the
same as it was in November
and down from 4.2 percent in
December 2014.

REWARD
The Anderson County Sheriff s Office is offering up to a
$500 cash reward for information resulting in the arrest and
conviction of the person or persons responsible for the recent
fires that have been set without the permission of the property
owners, (Arson) within Anderson County. Intentionally setting
fires to ditches, fields, grass, brush or any other type of
property without the property owners permission is an act of
Arson which constitutes a felony and may result in court fines,
restitution amounting to thousands of dollars and possibly
prison time. I will ask the courts that the person(s)
committing the act of Arson be prosecuted to the fullest
extent of the law. These fires are costing taxpayers thousands
of dollars, not to mention placing first responders, equipment
and homes in harms way.
Fair warning to those who do burn on their own
property – Anderson County has a resolution/law
(2002.0506:1) that requires everyone to call the Anderson
County Dispatch Center 785-448-6823 and receive a burn
permit prior to burning. There is no charge for the permit. If
you should fail to do this, you may be issued a citation and
be responsible for any cost involved in putting the fire out, to
include wages, equipment usage and fuel and fined up to
$2,500.00 or one year in jail. All purposed burning, such as
but not limited to, Grass, Brush, Ditches, Pastures and Ravines
shall require a burn permit except for the following. 1. Open
burning for cooking or ceremonial purposes on public and/or
private land regularly used for recreational purposes. 2. Open
burning carried out on a residential premises containing 5 or
less dwelling units and incidental to the normal habitation of
the dwelling units. 3. Open Burning approved by the Anderson
County Fire Department for training purposes or other open
burning arranged in advance with the Anderson County Fire
Department (785-448-6797).

HENDERSON
DECEMBER 21, 1922-FEBRAURY 7, 2016
Virginia D. Henderson, age
93, of Kincaid, Kansas, passed
away on Sunday, February 7,
2016, at Harry Hynes Memorial
Hospice in Wichita, Kansas.
She was born December
21, 1922 in Bourbon County,
Kansas, the daughter of Arthur
and Esther (Reynolds) Jackson.
Virginia graduated from
Mildred High
School with
the Class of
1943.
Virginia
married Olin
M. Henderson
on November
26, 1945. They
made their
Henderson
home on the
farm southeast of Kincaid where this
union was blessed with two
daughters.
She started as a cook at the
Kincaid Grade School after
raising her children, later
becoming a janitor. She later
worked for Thompson Poultry
in Iola, Kansas, then as a State
Meat Inspector until retirement.
She enjoyed puttering
around in the flower bed and
garden. Virginias greatest passion was her grandchildrens
sporting events, hardly ever
missing a game. She also loved
going to the coffee shops with
her close friends. Virginia also
enjoyed cooking, baking pies,

was the first time an inmate at
the local jail required such a
machine.
Without the expense of
that rented medical equipment, the countys total health
care costs in 2015 would have
been $48,815.68. That included
$48,243.42 for the cost of hospital and doctor visits, and
$572.68 for medications.
Valentine pointed out that
even with the additional costs
from inmates with special
medical needs, the county still
saved money compared to previous years without a service
contract.
In addition to the overall
savings with ACH, the new
health care plan significantly
reduced the amount of money
paid for pharmaceuticals. In
2012, the county paid $23,380
in pharmacy-related expenses; in 2011, it paid $26,835. In
2014, when Advanced took over
the second half of the year, the
countys pharmacy expenses were reduced to $7,309. In
2015, that expense was cut even
more, down to just $572.68.
Other Statistics
In addition to the report
on health care expenses,
Valentine also released information about various statistics
reported by the sheriffs department. Valentine has released
such an annual report each
year since he took office in
early 2013. Typically, the report
includes such things as number and types of calls, budget
and revenue reports as well as
the healthcare expense report.
For the most part, the
number of calls for service
decreased slightly while the
overall budget and revenue
both increased. The sheriffs
department issued more traffic
citations and DUIs in 2015 compared to previous years. The
department also transitioned
to new radio equipment which
prevents the public from listening in on police scanners to various sheriff and police communication calls. That equipment
was paid for by a grant and
did not factor into the budget
expense.
Calls for service.
There were 7,868 calls for
service in 2015, which include
calls to the sheriffs department,
Garnett Police Department,
Kansas Department of Wildlife
and Parks, fire and first
responder calls.
In 2014, there were 8,201 calls
for service, and in 2013, there
Janet Susan Wright, 50,
of Olathe, KS passed Friday
Feb. 12, 2016 at home. Janet
was born Dec. 16, 1965 at the
Anderson County Hospital.
She grew up on the family farm
outside of Greeley, KS with her
5 older siblings. Just recently
she had thanked her mother
for her happy childhood.
Janet attended St. Johns
Elementary
School
and
Garnett High, where she graduated in 1984. She then went
on to receive her Bachelors of
Science in Business from the
University of Kansas in 1988.
She worked her way through
college as a teller at Capital
Federal. After college she was
an FDIC bank examiner, and
traveled extensively throughout the United States. She then
became the Compliance Officer
and Assistant to the President
at University National Bank in
Lawrence.
She married Jim Wright of
Texas August 11, 1990 at St.
Johns in her home town of
Greeley, KS. They built a
home in Olathe, KS where they
raised their daughter Maria.
Maria was born August 9, 1996
and is now a sophomore at KU,
continuing the Jayhawk tradition.
Janet excelled at and loved
her work at UNB and the people she worked with there. She
greatly enjoyed all her daughters activities, especially being
part of the softball family. The
Wrights have loved watching KU basketball, gardening
at their farm in Parker, and
were 8,248.
Citations and civil process
service.
The sheriffs department
issued 600 traffic citations in
2015. Thats significantly higher than the previous two years,
when 441 tickets were written
in 2014 and 401 tickets were
written in 2013.
The number of DUI citations
also increased, up to 19 in 2015
compared to 12 in 2014 and 18 in
2013.
The department attempted to
serve 1,828 civil process papers
in 2015 and successfully served
947 papers. In 2014, there were
1,949 civil process attempts and
1,102 papers served. In 2013,
there were 1,930 attempts and
1,132 papers served.
Budget.
The sheriffs department
budget includes expenses for
the jail, dispatch center and
law enforcement.
The sheriffs department
budget has increased each
year, mostly because of cost
of living wage increases
and other increasing costs,
Valentine said. The cost of
jail supplies – such things as
inmate uniforms, soap, deodorant, bedding, paper and related expenses – has increased,
as have the costs of food and
utilities, Valentine said.
The 2016 budget was set at
$1.635 million, up from the
2015 budget of $1.531 million.
However, Valentine said the
department used slightly less
than that in 2015, spending 97.6
percent of the budget. The 2014
budget was $1.481 million, and
the department used 94.3 percent of that amount. In 2013, the
budget was $1.412 million and
the department used all of it.
Revenue.
The sheriffs department
earns revenue primarily by
renting bed space in the jail, as
well as from other sources like
fees for generating reports and
vehicle inspections.
In 2015, revenue increased to
$230,949 compared to 2014 when
revenue was $204,460, but down
slightly from 2013 when revenue was $239,185.
In 2015, $210,542 of that
amount came from renting bed
space to out-of-county inmates;
$8,987.50 came from reports
and $11,420 was from vehicle
inspections.
In 2014 the figures were
$184,173, $8,987,
$11,300
respecitvely, and in 2013 the
totals were $217,963, $8,892.50,
$12,330.

BURNING…
FROM PAGE 1A
To help people learn more
about controlled burns, a
Prescribed Burning Workshop
is planned for 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Wednesday, Feb. 24, at the
Community Building at the
fairgrounds in Garnett.
The workshop is designed to
help with the understanding of
the nature and behavior of fire.
Some of the topics that will be
covered are reasons for burning, wildlife and prescribed
burning, local and state regulations, fire weather, safety,
liability, use of burn contractors, planning and conducting a burn. The workshop is
designed to either prepare the
participants to begin using prescribed burning or to update
their knowledge and abilities.
Registration is $10 and
due by Feb. 19 by calling Rod
Schaub at (785) 828-4438 or
Debbie Davis at (785) 448-6323.
The workshop is sponsored
by the Frontier Extension
District, and the Anderson
COunty Conservation District
is paying the registration fee
for the first 30 people who register.
Fire is good for the land,
according to the U.S. Forest
Service. Periodic fire restores
an ecosystem to its natural balance. The Forest Service lists
several benefits:
Reduces hazardous fuels,
protecting human communities from extreme fires;
Minimizes the spread of
pest insects and disease;
Removes unwanted species
that threaten species native to
an ecosystem;
Provides forage for game;
Improves habitat for
threatened and endangered
species;
Recycles nutrients back to
the soil; and
Promotes the growth of
trees, wildflowers, and other
plants.
Despite the benefits, though,
the planning process for a controlled burn should follow various safety precautions. Those
who fail to follow the rules and
are found to be burning without a permit can face a fine
up to $2,500 and be responsible
for costs associated with the
fire department response to the
incident.
Anyone who lives in
the City of Garnett or rural
Anderson County and who is
planning to burn is required
to call Anderson County
Communications at (785) 4486823 to receive a burn permit.
The process typically is quite
simple and takes only a minute
or two. The brief phone call
allows the communications
center to collect information
such as location of the planned
burn and contact information
for those who will conduct the
burn.
If weather conditions are
not favorable for burning, the
permit will not be issued and
communications center staff
will inform those who call
seeking a permit that no burning is allowed. Restricted open
burning is at the discretion of
the Garnett Fire Department
and the Anderson County
Emergency Management. The
decision typically is made
when fire weather forecasting by the National Weather
Service in Topeka indicates
fires will be difficult to control,
such as wind speed or humidity levels.
J.D. Mersman, Anderson
County
Emergency
Management Director, also
offered a few other guidelines
for people who plan to burn.
All trash must be inside a
metal container with a screen
or mesh over the top to contain
any embers or burning material that may leave the container. Avoid placing aerosol
cans or other objects that could
explode in the fire. Other tips
include:
Avoid all outdoor burning
during extremely dry weather
conditions.
Keep a buffer zone of short
grass around structures or
bales of hay. Clear brush and
overgrowth away from structures.
Have some source of water
nearby when doing any burning.
Avoid tossing cigarettes
out of vehicles.
Use extreme caution when
burning near roadways and
airports. Smoke blowing across
roadways or runways can limit
visibility and place travelers in
danger.
Responsible party shall
remain with the controlled
burn at all times.
A person shall not burn
heavy smoke-producing materials including tires, shingles,
tar paper, etc.
Anyone with questions
about open burning can call
the Emergency Management
office at (785) 448-6797.

LOCAL
Legislators, Brownback
must cut costs and soon
Though the growth in Kansas job creation is good news that gets buried by the
incessant state media drone of negativity
over the budget gap, both elements line up
to illustrate how hard it is to reduce government spending in the Sunflower State and a
failing of nerve by the legislature to make
those cuts happen.
On its upside, the Kansas job story is
being woefully under told. An opinion piece
written by the Sho-Me Institutes Andrew
Wilson and published recently in the Wall
Street Journal details the growth in Kansas
employment numbers and shows just how
good they really are in comparison to past
decades.
Wilson compares Kansas present unemployment of 4.2 percent to 2013s level of 5.5,
now overall the 14th lowest jobless rate in
the country. The 2013 comparison is important, because thats the year Republican
income tax cuts for businesses went into
effect, aimed at encouraging businesses in
the state not just to grow jobs and expand,
but also designed as a carrot to dangle in
front of out-of-state businesses to lure them
here.
Theres more: Hourly wages in Kansas
grew 3.5 percent in 2014 according to Bureau
of Labor Statistics information far ahead of
the 1.9 percent national average. Wilson also
notes the comparison regarding employment in previous decades. Kansas ranked
38th in the nation from 1998-2012 in private
sector job growth, but in 2013 moved to 27th
and in 2014 to 21st, putting it in the top half
of states in the country.
Perhaps nowhere else is the difference
more apparent than in Kansas City, where
half of the metro area submits to Kansas
income taxes and half to Missouris. On
the Kansas side, Brownback capped the top
personal income tax rate at 4.9 percent for
those making $15,000 and more annually;
Missouri is at 6 percent starting at $9,000.
Over the past two years, private-sector jobs
on the Kansas side increased 5.6 percent;
only 2.2 percent in Missouri. Over the same
period hourly wages grew $1.22 in Kansas
and only 61 in Missouri.
Those numbers are important and theyre
proof that seeding private industry through
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
tax cuts allows those businesses to plug
money back into the economy and into hiring. Those numbers would be even better
but the slowest recession recovery in history and now the crash of oil markets which
stymied Kansas energy sector job growth
has sucked away a lot of the oxygen from the
Brownback plan. However, Kansans are buying more fuel, generating more state excise
tax for highways, and spending 80 percent
of their gas savings in restaurants, bars and
fast food joints all subject to state sales tax.
Even so, the economic realities make
the cost-cutting side of Brownbacks plan
even more important, and it is here where
the political failure begins. Legislators
and the governor have simply failed to cut
state operating expenses commensurately
with revenue reductions, and the fear is
nowhere better illustrated than the shelving of a plan recently which would have
merged some school districts in the state
and reduced administrative positions and
costs. Education is 67 percent of the state
budget and will have to absorb more cuts.
Its not the way any conservative legislator particularly the governor foresaw
it. Brownback at one time hoped to use
the economic resurgence brought by tax
cuts to spend more in education. It doesnt
mean the plan wont deliver more as the
nations economy brightens likely after
the November elections but in the meantime theres more cutting to be done.
Legislators have to hold to the course
of conservative ideology and ride out the
storm, because its the best way for Kansas.

they had to build the hospital first. Now the
hospitals been in service over a year, and
still there is no access west of 59 highway on
the south side of 4th Street. Also she reported that was completed, which was not true,
also there was supposed to be 90 percent of
the plan completed, and that also is not true.
Sounds like Hillary Clinton is not the only
one that cant be truthful.
Call up and pass along unsubstantiated
rumors and character assassination and you
dont have to leave your name. I think the
Phone Forum should be called the Phony

The school administration should look into
the cheer program. In recent years, its integrity has come into question and this year it
has again. While all the girls who try out are
likely great kids, they have try outs for a reason. There should never be a case where a kid
makes the cut just because of family coaching. Nothing against those who made it, justified or not, but there are girls who without a
doubt scored higher than some who did make
it. The entire process should be scrutinized
and if impropriety is found, take appropriate
action. Shame on the school administration
for looking the other way. Its not fair to the
kids.
Since when is it OK to toss around the words child abuse so freely?
As the wife of a coach I am
appalled, as the mother of two
boys who participate in sports
I am shocked and as a school
counselor I am outraged.
Obviously this is a response
to the letter to the editor by
Patty Rundle on February 2,
2016. The only kudo I would
like to extend to her is that
she wrote it as a Letter to the
Editor instead of the anonymous Phone Forum, so for that,
I applaud you. That however, is the point at which the
applause stops!
Her first sentence asks
the question, Dont we care
whos in charge of our children anymore? then proceeds
to start her article with the
words child abuse. Are you
serious? When did it become
okay to just throw those words
around? It isnt okay! Never
has been and I sure hope never
will be!
There are stark differences
between a coach yelling and
raising their voice in a stern
manner and belittling an athlete of theirs. A coach can
critique, criticize and challenge their players and it not
be belittling or abusing them.
A coach saying, That was a
terrible shot is NOT them saying, YOU ARE A TERRIBLE
PERSON, it is NOT a personal
character attack it is coaching! And more times than not,
thats not the whole conversation, despite that being all
your child might say. How
about being a mature adult and
talking to your child and to
the coach if you are genuinely concerned, they should be
open to that and you should be
open to listen and hear what
they are saying as well. We,
unfortunately, live in a very
tip toe, hide behind screens
and helicopter parent society.
What happened to kids learning to work through struggles,
to realize that there is always
someone better than they are
at things, to realize that everything isnt and shouldnt be
just handed to them? What
happened to kids standing up
and taking responsibility for
their actions/behaviors/ and
attitudes and the parents allowing them to do this and in fact,
forcing them to deal with these
hard things because it WILL
help them as they navigate
through this crazy world we
live in? When I was growing up
it was just known that if I got
in trouble at school, I would be
in double trouble at home, and
I did and it happened! I was
raised with supportive parents
who wanted me to grow up to be
responsible and independent
and able to believe in myself
because I had the experience to
know I could overcome things
when they got tough. They supported me, but they also supported my
teachers
and coaches as well.
If a coach
were to get
on to me, push me, challenge
me and heaven forbid even
criticize me, I certainly know
that my Mom and Dad wouldnt
have just jumped in and started
attacking the coach. Instead
there might have been a conversation with me about why
and what did I need to do differently to improve, or there may
have not been mention of it at
all, instead, me knowing that
if I didnt like it, than I needed
to change what I was doing! I
would have been MORTIFIED
if my parents would have bulldozed in and tried to fight my
battles for me, completely mortified!
When our kids are in sports,
we need to think about why we
are signing them up. Is it for
us or for them? Is it to support
them as they participate in a
sport that they love and enjoy?
Is it to gain approval for our
own self esteem? Is it to give
them the experience of all of the
great attributes that come from
being a part of a team? We also
need to remember that these
coaches who either volunteer
their time
or get paid
to coach
our kids
are doing it
with little
to no thanks or consideration
from the parents. This doesnt
matter if its our young kids in
rec programs or older and in
school sports. Are all coaches
in it for the right reason? No,
I cant lump everyone together
and say they are but there ARE
good coaches out there, and
good ones in our community
and schools and I am offended
for them when the words child
abuse are so easily thrown out,
lumping them together! Have
you ever thought that maybe
instead of trashing them on
the bleachers, making the comments and posts on Facebook
and any other social media
medium, yelling and undermining them from the stands and
belittling them to your kids on
the car rides home and around
the supper table that YOU are
perhaps hurting your children?
Certainly everyone is entitled
to their opinions and you can
think whatever you want, but
lets stop and think about what
messages these are sending
your kids when you are so easily bashing them in public and
openly to them. Undermining
does not equal success or good
character! Instead maybe talk
to your kids, get their thoughts
and feelings but dont force
your opinions on them. You
are NOT helping them you
are sending the wrong messages to them. Before attacking others, maybe look in the
mirror and see what messages
you are sending them. You
wouldnt want to do things
intentionally that would hurt
your child, whether it be physically, mentally, or emotionally. You wouldnt want to raise
them to not be able to stand up
for themselves, deal with the
hard stuff, overcome obstacles
and persevere. You wouldnt
want to beat your child down,
demean them, and ruin their
self-esteem causing them to be
depressed, have anxiety issues
and overall not be able to be
a productive member of society, so quit sending them the
message that they cant figure
things out on their own, that
they cant handle criticism
Kansas needs poverty solutions, not welfare reform
Like clockwork, another legislative session
and another welfare reform bill. SB 372 is
another opportunity for the Kansas legislature
to systematically and bureaucratically reduce
welfare rolls so that false claims about reducing
poverty can be made. Never mind the statistics
that show that poverty and, in particular, childhood poverty continues to rise in Kansas. The
self-labeled conservative Kansas government
has no need for metrics when truth can be manufactured so that its in congruence with their
ideology.
I have found, however, that its best to stick
to the facts when dealing with issues that have
such a profound impact on society. The fact is
that the vast majority of families that ECKAN
works with are doing everything that they can
to get or stay off of welfare. Its also true that
there are many families that still need assistance even though one or both parents are
working. Its not enough anymore just to have a
job. Families are in need of good jobs that pay a
living wage for them to be able cover all of their
expenses without assistance.
While there will always be a small minority of people intent on gaming the system,
Kansans living in poverty are overwhelmingly hard-working folks desperately in need of
opportunities. It would be interesting if the
Department of Children and Families could
provide us with data that points to what types
of jobs graduates of their Employment Services
program are obtaining. Indeed, it would be
useful to know what the average salary is for a
graduate of this program. Likewise, do we know
what percentage of graduates are finding jobs
that provide for affordable health insurance?
Although lawmakers have made numerous
claims, both overt and implied, about the face
of poverty in Kansas, evidence to back up these
claims has been lacking. Anecdotes and personal stories of success have been brought forth
as a means to justify unprecedented restrictions
now being placed on families seeking help.
The Kansas economy, consistently sputtering
behind the rest of the nation, has failed to provide for the types of opportunities that folks
need to become self-sufficient. The wealthy
have benefited tremendously from the tax cuts
enacted a couple of years ago, but good paying
jobs have not materialized as advertised.
Kansas citizens would be better served by a
legislature that sought to innovate with policies
that help foster a strong economy for everyone,
not just those at the top. While welfare rolls
have been reduced, poverty continues to grow in
Kansas. We are in need of policies that provide
for innovative solutions to improve an economy
that has left so many of our neighbors behind. I
urge lawmakers to rethink their current strategy.
Richard Jackson, CEO
East Central Kansas Economic
Opportunity Corporation (ECKAN)
and that you dont believe in
them enough to let them work
through it on their own.
You dont have to agree with
everything the coach does, you
have that right, thats life. You
do, however, have the power to
show your kids how to handle diversity by being a good
example to them. Have some
integrity, have some pride and
have some faith in your kids
that they can deal with more
than you are sometimes giving
them credit for, and if not, it
very well might be a long tough
road through life for them.
For those parents who
appreciate the time the coaches
put in, for those that thank the
coaches when they feel it necessary, for those that are supportive, and for those that are being
the good, positive role models
for their children, I thank you!
I would be ecstatic if I were
put out of a job because there
was no longer real child abuse
going on in our world, and yes
in our own community, unfortunately there is and also the
reason I get very upset when I
see it used in the way it was in
the paper!

2006: Man loses almost $3k in bad check scam
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 2-16-2016 / Photo Submitted
These little glass dog containers once were filled with candy. They
were sold in dime stores and were very popular in the early- to
mid-1900s.
Do you remember
these candy containers?
Do any of you recognize any
of these little fellas? When
I was a little boy, I remember when you could purchase
them in both Cokers and Mays
Variety stores (known then as
5 & 10 Cent stores) and they
were filled with those scrumptious little round red and white
candies.
There arent too many folks
who dont enjoy a tasty piece of
candy every now and then.
These nifty little candy containers actually doubled as toys
after the candy was gone, providing hours of playtime for
both boys and girls.
When would you guess the
very first candy containers
were made? The first candy
containers were shaped like
Independence Hall and the
Liberty Bell in celebration of
the Centennial Exposition in
1876 in Philadelphia, Pa.
Sold in dime stores, at souvenir stands, and even through
mail order catalogs like Sears &
Roebuck, these glass toys were
very popular and produced
in mass in the early and mid
1900s.

shapes are some of the most

be found.
These little figurines were
produced in many shapes:
Rabbits, roosters, cars, airplanes, boats, doll furniture,
pumpkins, lanterns, Santa
Claus, etc.
They generally had cardboard bottoms that could be
removed to get the candy out.
Occasionally youll find one
still full of those colorful little
ball-shaped sweets.
What are these candy containers worth today you ask?
Well these little doggies pictured are worth around $10
empty $20 full. Now if you have
or find a rare 1920s refrigerator or Statue of Liberty (beware
of reproductions) they can easily sell in excess of $5,000 if
theyre in excellent condition.
They wanted justice but
God provided mercy
In the 15th chapter of Luke
we read how the tax collectors
and sinners were gathering
around Jesus to listen to him.
The Pharisees and teachers of
the law were also there and
were criticizing Jesus saying,
This man welcomes sinners
and eats with them. Jesus
then begins to relate three parables.
In the first parable a man
had a hundred sheep. When
he counted them one of the
sheep was gone. The man left
the ninety nine sheep and went
to find the lost one. When he
finds the sheep he joyfully puts
it on his shoulder and goes
back to the rest of the flock.
In the second parable a
woman has ten silver coins and
loses one. The woman lights a
lamp and searches the house
until she finds it. When she
finds the coin she is joyful.
In the third parable there
was a man who had two sons.
The younger son requested
his share of the estate. So the
father divided his property
between them. Soon after he
had received his share of the
estate the younger son left for
a far country and there squandered his wealth in wild living.
After he had spent his entire
estate there was a famine in
the country and he began to be
in need. So he hired himself
out to a citizen of the country
to feed pigs. He became so
hungry he longed to fill his
stomach with the pods the pigs
were eating. He began to think
of his fathers home and set out
to return. If his father would
receive him back he would be
happy to be a hired man.
The father had been watch-

ing every day hoping for the
return of his son and while the
boy was still a long way off his
father saw him and ran to meet
him. The father put the boy in
a new robe, put a ring on his
finger and sandals on his feet.
He also planned a feast. The
older son was in the field and
when he heard the music and
dancing he asked one of the
servants what was going on.
When the servant told him that
his brother had returned home
he became angry. When the
father asked the boy to come
into the party he refused.
Just like the Pharisees and
teachers of the law were passing judgment on Jesus for eating with sinners the older son
was passing judgment on the
returning son. The Pharisees
and teachers of the law wanted
justice for the sinners and tax
collectors as did the older son
for his brother instead of allowing God to be their judge.
God addresses this very situation in Exodus 33:19, when
he tells Moses; I will have
mercy on whom I will have
mercy and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. This is Gods right to
do. If we repent of our sins we
will receive Gods mercy. If we
dont receive Gods mercy we
will receive his justice.

CRP sign-up ends this month
Area landowners who are interested in submitting an offer under
the 49th general CRP sign-up
need to contact the Farm Service
Agency (FSA) office immediately. The sign-up period will end
on February 26, 2016. This will
be an opportunity for producers
to submit offers to re-enroll land
that expired from a previous CRP
contract or to re-enroll an existing
CRP contract that will expire in
September of 2016. Interested producers may also submit offers to
enroll eligible fields that are currently not under a CRP contract.
Some of the basic eligibility
requirements are as follows:
A) Producer must have owned
or operated the land for at least 12
months prior to close of sign-up.
B) The land must be cropland
that was planted or considered
planted to an agricultural commodity 4 of the 6 years from 2008
to 2013.
C) Have a weighted average
erosion index of 8 or higher or be
expiring CRP acreage.
Offers may be submitted on any
acres that meet all of the eligibility
criteria noted above. This may
be a whole field or any part of a
field. General sign-up offers are
typically larger land masses than
the Continuous CRP practices.
General CRP practices require the
land to be seeded to a permanent
cover. The most common practice
is a grass cover containing various
species of grasses and some forbs
or legumes. Participants will be
given the opportunity to choose
which practice they would like to
install on their land if accepted
into the program. In exchange
for seeding the cover the program
participant will receive an annual
rental payment during the 10 to
15 contract period. Participants
will also be able to receive assistance with the cost of installing
the practice. Cost share can be
paid on 50% of the eligible actual
cost incurred, but will be limited
to the county average cost.
Interested parties will be provided with the maximum average
rental rate that may be offered
when they come into the office
to enroll during the sign-up period. The rate will be reflective of
the three predominate soil types
contained in the eligible acres of
the offer. The average soil rental
rates have increased from what
was approved in prior years. The
average soil rental rate for the
soils located in Anderson County
is $76.00 per acre.
CRP offers will be taken
until February 26, 2016, and
will be ranked according to the
Environmental Benefits Index
(EBI). FSA staff members will
explain the EBI ranking factors to
allow each producer the opportunity to maximize their EBI score.
After sign-up is complete, all offers
are transmitted to Washington
DC for ranking and to determine
which offers will be accepted for
approval.
The Anderson County FSA
Office highly encourages producers who are interested in submitting offers for CRP to contact them
IMMEDIATELY to schedule an
appointment. Please keep in mind
that all offers must be submitted
by 4:30 PM February 26, 2016. For
more details about the General
CRP sign-up or to schedule an
appointment, please contact the
Anderson County Farm Service
Agency located at 111 N. Maple,
Garnett, Kansas or call 785-4483128.

Prairie View steamrolls Vikings
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND Central Heights
got caught in a Prairie View
Buffalo stampede Friday in a
48-30 loss that wasnt as close as
the score looked.
The Buffaloes showed their
superiority early on by jumping all over the Vikings and
leading by 10 after the first
period, stretching that lead to
30-7 by halftime.
It was much of the same in
the third period. Prairie View
pushed their lead out even further, leading 46-16 heading into
the final quarter.
With the game out of reach,
the Vikings put together a nice
fourth quarter in mop up duty
on the PV reserves. They outscored the Buffaloes 14-2 to
make a small dent in the deficit.
Merrick Brown was the only
Vikings player in double figures with 11 points on the evening.

Lady Vikings lackluster in defeat
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND The Prairie
View Buffaloes completely
dominated the Central Heights
Lady Vikings 53-26 Friday
night at home.
Despite losing Tuesday to
Wellsville, head coach Scott
Lane had high hopes for the
remainder of the year, but his
girls didnt play with the same
desire.
The Buffaloes controlled the
Vikings in the first half and led
30-10 at intermission.
We were just never in the
ball game, Lane commented. We just didnt play with
the same toughness we did on
Tuesday.
The second half wasnt much
better for the Vikings. After
outscoring them by one in the
third quarter, the Buffaloes
took control in the fourth quarter to put an exclamation point
on the victory.
Lane takes some of the
blame for the loss as well. I
have to do a better job of getting them ready for games. I
thought they came more ready
to play, he said.

Lady Vikings drop game to Wellsville
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
WELLSVILLE It was as close
a game against as good an
opponent as the Lady Vikings
have played all year, but 57-50
was as close as they could get
to the win on Tuesday.
Central Heights started off
hot and rode that start to a 26-22
halftime advantage. But the
Viking freeze hit in the third
period as the Eagles upped
their defensive intensity and
dominated CH by 17-3 in the
period to take a 39-29 lead heading into the fourth quarter.
We had out best first half of
the year and then lost it defensively in the 3rd quarter, said
head coach Scott Lane.
The Vikes pushed hard and
put up 21 in the fourth period
to the Eagles 18, but it wasnt
enough to overcome the hole
they dug in the third.
I couldnt be prouder of my
girls. I thought we fought until
the very end, Lane said. I
thought we showed heart and
I hope we can carry that toughness and passion into the last
couple weeks of the season.
The Eagles Sydney Dwyer
led all scorers with 26 points.
Regan Markley had 20 for the
CH, the only Viking in double
figures.
Labor Economist, Kansas
Department of Labor, said.
This
over-the-month
growth occurred despite a
decrease in the trade, transportation and utilities industries
that resulted from lower than
expected retail trade hiring,
Doerksen said.
Anderson County also had
one of the lowest unemployment rates compared to adjacent counties in December.
Only Franklin County was as
low, with the same rate of 3.7
percent in December 2015.
In other area counties:
Allen County: 4.8 percent in December 2015, 4.2 in
November; 4.1 in December
2014.

Fourth quarter dooms Bulldogs
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT In a game that
the Bulldogs felt they had well
under control, a fourth quarter
debacle doomed them in a 53-47
loss to Osawatomie on Friday
night.
The Osawatomie Trojans
completed the comeback, but
had to fight back from a 31-22
halftime deficit in doing so.
Heading into the fourth
quarter AC was still up 9, but
a fouling barrage gave the
Trojans the chance to hit 7 of
9 free throws down the stretch
to ice the victory. They would
hit 11 of 14 attempts for the evening.
On the other hand, free
throws could have very well
been part of the demise for the
Bulldogs. They hit just 4 of 9
free throws in the ball game,
which includes missing the
front end of two one-and-one
opportunities in the fourth
quarter.
Chase Ratliff led the way
with 19 points for the Bulldogs,
14 of them in the first half help-
ing the Bulldogs build the ninepoint lead.

Vikings no match for Eagles
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
WELLSVILLE The Wellsville
Eagles controlled the game
from the opening tip, and never
allowed the visiting Central
Heights Vikings a glimmer of
hope Tuesday night in a commanding 62-34 victory.
The Vikings came out flat
offensively and struggled
defensively as well in the first
quarter and found themselves
in a 22-9 hole after the first peri-
od. It didnt get much better
over the next couple of quarters. Heading into the fourth
the Eagles stretched their lead
out to a insurmountable 54-26
advantage.
It just wasnt a good night
offensively for the Vikings.
Better than half of their points
came via the free throw line as
they hit 17-22 for the evening.
None of the Viking players
reached double figures on the
night. Merrick Brown led the
way with 9 points, 7 of them
coming from the charity stripe.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, February 16, 2016
Stapp, Chamber Players bring back a classic, with a twist
The third production of the
Chamber Players Community
Theatres 25th Anniversary
season opens February 25
under rather unique circumstances. Leona, Love Thy
Neighbor, Too by Garnett
playwright Gary Ray Stapp
was originally scheduled for
eight performances beginning
Thursday, February 25.
Tickets were to be available to the public on Monday,
February 8, but that plan never
materialized. Members of the
theatre with year-round booking privileges as their main
perk bought out the entire
run of the never-before-seen
comedy weeks before the
scheduled date for general
ticket sales. A ninth show was
added on Wednesday, March
2, to accommodate the unprecedented demand. It also sold
out within the week. A tenth
performance is now in the
works. For performance and
wait-list information call or
email the theatre (785-304-1683
or ChamberPlayersGarnett@
gmail.com).
As problems go, this is the
one you want, said Treasurer
Tom Emerson, Jr. Our previous attendance record was
around 720. We just went over
760 tickets sold with a very
good chance to hit 800.
Leona is the long-awaited sequel to Stapps first play,
Love Thy
Neighbor,
a play that
broke
the
then ten-yearold groups
previous
attendance
record by 50
Stapp
percent, and
enamored the
community with the snarky
personality of Leona Crump,
the neighborhood busy-body
and champion marigold horticulturist. The story picks up
nearly a decade after Leona
was tricked into selling her
beloved home, though she
managed to turn the tables on
her conniving neighbors and
remain in the neighborhood
after all. But a lot has changed
in nine years – especially the
population of the cul-de-sac.
For example: the propagating neighbors who were once
childless but now have six
darling children and one on
the way. And now, with the
house-stealing Smiths having
finally been driven out of town,
the local real estate agent is
hosting an open-house with an
open door that beckons Leona
home. Charlotte Lutz returns
as Leona, a role she originated in 2003 and reprised in the
10th Anniversary production of
Love Thy Neighbor in 2013.
Being trusted with this
character in
Garys first
play meant so
much to me,
Lutz
said.
Im thrilled
to be back on
Coriander
Lane
and
Lutz in
Leonas
shoes. She
will always hold a special place
in my heart. The ticket sales
have been overwhelming! I
love that everyone is as excited
to visit Leona and her neighbors as I am.
Although a sequel, Leona
is a stand-alone story that deftly
reacquaints the audience with
four other characters from the
original script. Kevin Lewis,
the only other returning actor
who had appeared in the original staging, reprises his role as
Paul, while Karen Katzer brings
to the stage for the first time
her own delightful interpretation of Judy. Linda Umbarger
returns to the neighborhood as
pushy real estate agent Rose
Bush and brings with her a
royal announcement, while
Alvin Peters delivers the comic
goods as an ever-moonlighting
postman. Adding to the hilarity of the plot are several new
characters, including ex-husband Albert, the real Albert,
played by Emerson, back from
his 10 year sojourn apart from
Leona; and eyebrow-raising
house-hunters Ida and Sam
Jackson played by Linda
Miller and Leroy Hamilton.
Additionally, the Harrison
children, Paul Jr, Marsha, Jan,
Cindy, Peter, and Bobby storm
their way into the storyline
with the debuts of young actors
Brendan Devening, Jordan
Miller, Spencer Rockers,
Addyson Ladewig, Brooks
Hamilton, and Jase Spencer the next generation of CPCT
performers.
Its great to have these little faces around the theater.
Their wonder and excitement
and energy just stepping on
the stage reminds me of how
I fell in love with performing.
Its particularly gratifying that
a number of them have come
through our Summer Theatre
Camp experience, Emerson
said.
Three characters have
crossed over from yet another
Stapp play, Family Ties and
Little White Lies, a 2006 CPCT
production, and hilariously
stake their claim in the plot of
Leona. Francine Enghouser,
played by Denise Scheibmeir,
carries out a naughty little
charade of her own, as Gert
and Rocky, a mother and son
re-formed mobster duo bumble into Leonas neighborhood
because of family business,
only to stumble upon a place
they, too, can call home.
Completed in 2014, Leona,
Love Thy Neighbor, Too is
Stapps 12th script. Since then,
he has penned two other plays,
one them being his first drama
which he hopes to someday see
staged by the CPCT. Most of his
plays have been debut productions by either the Chamber
Players or by the local
Anderson County High School
drama department. However,
performances of his work have
been staged by community theatre groups and high school
drama clubs across the United
States, and in Canada, Belgium,
Germany, the Netherlands, and
Italy. And coming this spring,
the ACHS drama club will present his third play, Family Ties
and Little White Lies.
The Chamber Players are a
501(c)(3) not-for-profit public
charity. To get involved onstage
or off, contact the theater. More
information can be found on
the companys website: www.
TheChamberPlayers.org and
on Facebook. Southern Fried
Murder by Billy St. John will
conclude the 25th Anniversary
Season May 19-22 and 26-29.
Auditions
with
director
Shauna Devening will be on
Leap Day (February 29th) at 7
p.m. in the theater at 140 W. 5th
Avenue in Garnett.

Tyson: Solution to revenue AC Republican Party
problems is not to raise taxes plans Presidential Caucus
A bill that has received
much attention is a House
Bill that would mandate the
consolidation of K-12 district
administration. The bill has
not passed the House and as I
understand, it will not make it
out of committee.
The Senate passed Senate
Substitute for House Bill (S Sub
HB) 2049 which decreases the
penalty for possession of marijuana and increases the penalty for burglary. The possession penalties would be: first
offense a Class B nonperson
misdemeanor, second offense a
Class A nonperson misdemeanor, and the third offense a felony. The bill would allow for
rehabilitation without incarceration for non-violent drug
crimes, while providing more
bed space for violent criminals. According to the Kansas
Sentencing Commission, the
bill would result in 89-107
beds available in 2017. The
bill increases the penalty for
breaking into someones home.
Testimony stated that currently, 30% of those who commit
burglary do not go to jail. This
legislation will help in putting
violent criminals, who threaten your safety and sense of
security, in prison.

of $13.394 billion. The largest

portion of taxes collected were:
general property tax 32.77%
(increased 2.06%), sales and use
tax 30.59% (increased 3.10%),
income and privilege tax 20.%
(increased 2.81%). State taxes
collected in FY2015 were $7.531
billion; approximately 56%
of total taxes collected. State
General Fund receipts were
$5.717 billion of the $7.531.
State taxes increased about
$120 million, 1.62% increase
from FY2014 to FY2015. The
problem is that in 2015 the SGF
budget was $6.251 billion. State
agencies and departments were
allowed to spend more money
than was collected.
This
occurred in Fiscal Years 2008,
9, 10, 14, and 15.
Its frustrating because we
continue to hear that revenue
estimates were missed. The
Consensus Revenue Estimates
Group composed of persons
from the Division of Budget,
Department of Revenue,
Legislative Research, and an
economist from three Kansas
universities, KU, KSU, and
WSU make the revenue estimates. These estimates are the
basis for our State budget.
Looking at the history of
revenue estimates, in Fiscal
Years 2008, 09, 10, 13, 14, and
15 the estimates were greater than actual receipts. This
also occurred for a few years
in the 1980s and early 2000s.
The 1980s, 2000s, and 2007 to
2009 time spans have been
labeled as economic recessions. Currently, we are not
in the technical definition of a
recession. However, two major
industries that impact the
Kansas economy are agriculture and oil & gas. Not many
predicted the sharp decline in
both of these industries that is
now occurring.
In these times, the answer
is not to raise taxes. Winston
Churchill is quoted as saying,
We contend that for a nation
to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a
bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
It is an honor and a privilege
to serve as your 12th District
State Senator.

Hello, Hometown
Anderson County alumni share their stories since leaving their hometowns.
To be featured in this column or to recommend someone, please email review@garnett-ks.com.
Army career takes Garnett native across country, world
From MAJ Brian Wittman, US
Army
First, I want to thank Mr.
Dane Hicks for asking me to
write my story for the Hello
Hometown feature.
I am
truly honored to share what I
have been doing since leaving
Garnett, Kansas.
Since graduating from
Garnett High School in 1986, I
had joined the Army National
Guard and attended both the
Army Basic Training and
the Field Artillery Cannon
Crewman Course the same
year at Fort Sill, Oklahoma.
Following my initial Army
obligation, I entered my college studies at Pittsburg State
University, where I earned a
Bachelors Degree in Sociology
in 1992 and later a second
Bachelors Degree in Social
Work in 2000.
I attended the Army Combat
Medic Course from 1993-1994
at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. I
received a direct commission
as an Army Medical Service
Corps Officer in 1997 and
attended the Army Medical
Department (AMEDD) Officer
Basic Course in 1998 at Fort
Sam Houston, Texas.
I married my wife, the former Cathy Koelsch, in 2000,
who attended Prairie View
High School.
I deployed with the Army
National Guard to Riyadh,
Saudi Arabia for five months
in 2001 and then again to
Kitzingen, Germany for seven
months in 2002 in support of the
War on Terrorism. After transferring to the Army Reserves
in 2003 and I was promoted to
the rank of Captain in 2004.
I
then
deployed
to
Heidelberg, Germany for 15
months from 2005 to 2006 in support of the War on Terrorism,
where I worked at the 30th
Medical Brigade. During this
deployment, I am most proud
that I was on the team that
sent the 212th Mobile Army
Surgical Hospital (MASH) to
the country of Pakistan to provide medical care to the people
that were affected by the devastating earthquake.
One of the perks of being
in Germany was being able to
travel with my wife throughout Germany and several
other European countries
such as Austria, Switzerland
and France, visiting various
Castles, Cathedrals and other
historical landmarks throughout the region. Another highlight was auditioning and
then being selected to sing
Johnny Cash songs for the
Commanding General at
the AMEDD Military Ball in
Brian and Cathy Wittman
Germany.
I was also able to visit
the birthplace of my greatgreat Grandfather, Johann
John Lickteig, in the city of
Donsieders, Germany, which
was a surreal experience, since
I was also able to meet with
Lickteig family members in
Germany, that were distant
relatives of mine.
I completed the AMEDD
Captains Career Course in
2007 at Fort Sam Houston,
Texas. Prior to going on Army
Active Duty, I had worked in
the Social Services field for
over 15 years, working with
both persons with developmental disabilities and mental illnesses. I was accepted to the
Active Guard/Reserve (AGR)
program in 2007 and entered
Army Active Duty in early 2008,
where my first assignment
was in Dearborn, Michigan as
Health Care Recruiter.
We lived in the town of
Whitmore Lake, Michigan for
four years, which was six miles
from Ann Arbor, Michigan,
the home of the Michigan
Wolverines. I was then promoted to the rank of Major
in 2010. During my final year
as a Health Care Recruiter,
my Recruiting Center had
been recognized as the Top
Recruiting Center in the
Medical Recruiting Brigade.
I was selected to be the next
Operations Officer for the 3rd
Medical Recruiting Battalion
at Fort Knox, Kentucky. We
then lived in the town of
Elizabethtown, Kentucky for
the next three years. I then
completed the Army Command
and General Staff College
(CGSC) Course from 2012 to
2013 at Fort Gordon, Georgia.
Prior to leaving Fort Knox,
my battalion was recognized as
the Top Recruiting Battalion
in the Medical Recruiting
Brigade. I was selected to be the

State Fair, three years in a row
and being able to speak with
them in person after all those
years since my quartet got to
open at their concert back in
1985.
Some of my hobbies include:
rescuing stray dogs; attending
concerts, collecting German
beer steins; hunting; fishing;
boating; traveling; researching my family tree; sporting
events; learning about history;
singing; music; science fiction
movies; attending German cultural events; and many more.
The Army has definitely
been good for me and my family. I am truly blessed to have
been able to continue to serve
my country for what will now
be 30 years this coming April
and I hope that I can continue
to do so for several more years.
I am also truly blessed to
have such a supportive wife
that understands the level of
commitment that the Army
demands on us.
I am also blessed to have had
such great family members,
friends and fellow Soldiers in
my life that have always been
there for support. Take care.
Lets not kid anybody. You
and I are small businesspeople,
and were here to make money.
Theres service to humanity and loving what I do and
following my calling, yada,
yada, yada; but if you and I
dont generate sales and manage costs to earn a profit, all the
pie-in-the sky stuff is going to
get nailed to our doors with the
bankruptcy papers.
Thats why its okay to be
a control freak when it comes
to generating sales, and you
need to understand that being
in control of the message you
convey to customers and potential customers is probably the
only way your business will
survive. Heres why
Look at the opposite side
of control freaking: Noncontrol. In terms of marketing
your small business to generate sales, you have these two
options: work at it and exert
control, or do nothing and
accept that your sales will be
determined by somebody or
something other than you.
Which one sounds more conducive to a good nights sleep?
Too many people in small
business hesitate to exert control of their advertising and
marketing efforts. They think
somehow theyll be viewed as
too pushy if they actually try
to sell; people might actually
get the idea that you need their
business if youre aggressive in
selling. Couple all that with the
fact that marketing your particular business takes practice,
trial and error, and constant
study to see whats new and
what you could be doing better. Like anything else that can
have tremendously high yields,
it doesnt happen by itself.
But some business people
do expect success to happen
without exerting any control
over it, and the reason is that
its easier to make excuses that
attracting and keeping customers is beyond our control. My
customers already know Im
here, (the line etched on more
business tombstones than any
other) and similar dodges take
all the weight off our shoulders;

HOW TO SELL STUFF

faulty insulation from doing
what we know we need to do
constantly define, approach
and sell existing and new customers.
These are the businesses
that locate in malls or shopping centers and expect foot
traffic is all they need; the
ones who put up a website or
a Facebook page thinking the
billions of folks on the Internet
are a ready-made customer
base. They never listen to a TV,
radio, newspaper, digital or
other sales rep because advertising is just a big hustle. To do
more than that brings hesitation, and as anyone whos ever
thrown a hand grenade knows
hesitation kills.
But its unavoidable in the
end businesses that exert no
control over their marketing
find themselves relying on
Final Days or Upcoming
Auctions advertising when
they close their doors. Then its
too late.
Control brings peace of
mind at least more so than
not being in control and you
only get control by adopting
a marketing mindset to determine who your customers are
and are likely to be, and then
finding a way to reach them
and sell to them.
Being a control freak wont
just help you sell stuff and
make money, it will help you
sleep at night!

Matt was taking a country stroll in his
little red Chevy pickup truck when he
heard the gun shot. The sound pierced
through the beautiful crisp morning,
Matt, his curiosity taking over him,
drove in that direction. When
he finally arrived to where
he thought the noise had
been made he saw a big
black shiny pickup truck
driving out of a ditch. The
truck made Matts little
rusted up ride look like a
pebble compared to the sun.
Well I have never seen a truck like that

Lindsey Godderz
Sixth grade, Ms.Dunn

It was the day after
Thanksgiving and I was lost in
the farmers orchard.
This orchard was gigantic,
and I couldnt find my way
out. Round and round I went,
trying to find my way out.
The trees were in long rows
that went both ways. No leaves
on the trees made
the trees look
like a tangled
mess of branches.
Running and
chasing my dog
into the apple trees
was not smart. Now my dog
ran off and I was alone.
The farmer who owned the
orchard was known as mean
and nasty. He never talked to
anyone. Word at school was
that people caught on his property were never seen again,
and they would be buried
under a new apple tree.
Seeing how many trees
there were, I wondered how
many kids like me were buried
in the orchard.
Suddenly an old red tractor
came driving down the orchard
lane, it was the farmer. It was
going fast and coming right
towards me. I ran fast, dodging
from one tree to the next.
The tractor kept coming. It
was getting closer and closer.
I went left and dove behind a
tree.
I rolled and jumped up thinking I might shake the farmer.
No such luck. Now he was way
too close. I could see him grinning as he aimed to run me
over with the tractor.
It was then I saw the bale
fork on the front of the tractor. He was going to stab me
with the tractor fork. I froze,
I couldnt run or even move. I
knew it was over. I was going
to be apple tree fertilizer.
Suddenly, my lost dog
appeared like a big black flash.
My dog Star ran and jumped
over the tractor tire, hitting
the farmer out of his seat. The
tractor swerved to the side and
hit an apple tree.
I didnt wait around. I whistled for Star and we ran.
This time, I used the tractor
tire marks in the dirt to get out
of the orchard.
Once I got back to my road,
I found my way home safe and
sound with Star.
I never went back.
Every once and awhile I see
the farmer in town. Each time,
he looks at me and grins, pointing his finger at me like the
fork on the tractor.
To this day, I will not eat
apples.

Matt thought to himself.
He got out to investigate. He walked
exactly to the spot where the black truck
had pulled away. He got across the barbed
wire fence on the north side of the road.
He hadnt got 20 yards into the pasture
before he saw the hawk covered in blood
laying on the ground.
He rushed over to it, this time saying
out loud; What have they done to you?
Matt took the hawk into his arms, he got
back into his truck and drove away to his
house.
It took Matt a few weeks to doctor the
hawk back to full health. The vet he went
to rejected him immediately, saying that
there is no possible way to help this bird, it
will die. But Matt, always being an animal
lover, didnt lose determination.
The bullet that nearly killed this bird
was luckily just a little .22 shell, but still
caused critical damage to the birds wing.
Matt grew fond of his little bird friend.
He called him Lucky, for he was the luckiest bird alive, in Matts opinion.
A few more weeks and Lucky could be
released into the wild.
During those few weeks Matt got the
guys that almost killed the hawk arrested.
He just remembered their license plate
numbers and letters and took them to
court. The judge went to Matts side almost
immediately.
Those weeks have passed and Matt was
very reluctant to let go of his bird friend.
But he did, and as he let him go these are
the words he said; Fly away my dear
friend, I wont lose you, because I know
when I look for you and I see a hawk, you,
Lucky, are the one with stained feathers!
Out to get a shovel to bury him. He got the
shovel and went back up to get him but he
was gone.
Tommy dropped the shovel. And ran
outside to find him but all he saw was dirt.
Then finally there was a scream. Tommy
ran to see what was going on.
It was spike!! But he was a white dog
with droopy eyes. Tommy he was kind of
happy and kind of not.
He went to Spike. Spike growled. And
Spike bit him. Tommy said, Bad boy and
picked up Spike and ran back to his house
to put a bandage on his bite.
He ran to his friend Joe and he was a scientist. He knocked on the door and said,
Joe.
And Joe ran to the door and said,
What?
Tommy said, Look at my dog.
He took Spike into his house and Joe
looked at him and said, He is a zombie
dog.
What! A zombie dog?
Yeah but I think I have a cure for him
and he gave him a shot. He will turn back
but he will not know. You will have to
reteach him.
OK. How long will it be until he will
turn back?
About three hours.
OK, said Tommy.
He waited and waited then finally he
was back. Tommy was so happy. They
played and played but then three months
have gone by.
Tommy died from the bite!
of nowhere, four people
jumped down off the tops
of the buildings around
me, weilding swords and
knives. They started hacking away at the people.
They started disappearing and then they were all
gone the four people disappeared.
I ran out of the alley and sat down on a
park bench. An old man walked over to me
and sat down. He asked me if I believed in
angels and demons and I said, Yes. Why?
He said he saw what happened in the
alley. He told me that the people who
crawled up out of the ground were vampires and the people with the swords were
protectors. If you are a protector, you have
the soul of an angel but if you are a vampire you have the soul of a demon.
Then he leaned in close, in a whispering
voice, and told me, when he was young,
he was a protector and he said I was one
too. Then he made a sword come out of
nowhere. He handed it to me and told me to
go protect the world. He vanished into thin
air and I never saw him again.
The one thing I learned that day was,
that whenever destiny finds you, you better be ready.

would do to the poles. Lightning came
closer. He was so excited
but then his dog, Spike,
hopped out the window,
and started to chew on the
pole.
But then Tommy went

Tommy went out to see if he was alive.

There once was an acorn.
This acorns name was Rosy.
Rose had a lot of plans when
she fell off the
tree she was
on. She wanted
to go far away
and see different things.
Rosy wanted
to have some of
her own acorn children. She
wanted to grow big and tall and
strong. But, first, she had to fall
off the tree and start to grow.
One day, Rosy was planning where she wanted to grow
someday when a squirrel came
near her. At first, she didnt
know what it was, then she
realized what it was and she got
very frightened. The squirrel
got next to her, picked her up
and off the squirrel went to his
nest. But before they got to his
nest, the squirrel dropped Rosy
to the ground.
Rosy was very scared. She
then realized she wasnt on the
tree anymore. A few mintues

My name is Libby Haulf and
my dad Mark is trying to figure
out the meaning of time.
I think hes crazy. My mom
left him for the
same reason,
but I didnt
leave my dad.
One day my
dad was going
crazy. He told
me to come
into his lab. He was yelling, I
found it! I Found it.
You found what?
The meaning of time.
In a heartbeat, five guys
came in and took my dad.
Libby, run, run!
I ran as fast as I could. What
was going on? I thought in my
head.
Two years later… I walked
into my dads lab and took a
deep breath. I looked to my
left and saw a note written in
a secret language only my dad
and I knew. I read it. It told
what to do to try to save him.
I read all the documents that
were in our secret language. So
I packed my bags and I got into
my dads safe and took some
money. I put a tracking device
on him before they took him.
I looked up the tracking
device number on the computer so I could find him. His
number is 19640. He was underground. But how?
It said under Moms house.
Does she have something to
do with this? So I went to her
house.
I knock and knock. She
doesnt answer so I broke the
window and I go inside.
There was my mom, sitting
in a chair, dead. So I go down
to the basement and there was
my dad! In a chair. So I untied
him and we left. Right when
we opened the door. There was
a guy there on his knee, saying, Dont figure out what the
meaning of time means.
He fell on the floor and died.
So we went home, went into my
dads lab and now, we know the
meaning of time. We wish we
never knew.

It was winter in the small
town of Garnett, KS. There
were four friends named
Danica, Kylie, Brylee, and
Grady that were walking to
Daylight Doughnuts.
When they got to the store,
Grady bought a chocolate cake
doughnut named Zeke. Danica
picked out a carmel cake
doughnut named Colten. Kylie
chose a pumkin cake doughnut named Whitney and Brylee
bought a glazed doughnut
named Alexis. All the doughnuts were put in the last bag
the store had.
But the thing the kids didnt
know was that they were
talking doughnuts.
When they got outside, the
traffic was so loud that they
didnt hear the rip of the bottom of the bag. All the doughnuts fell out in the snow.
It was starting to get colder.
After a while the doughnuts got
covered in snow.
Is anyone going to find us?
they wondered.
All of a sudden a dog started
sniffing around them.
Maybe he could help, said
Colten.
Yeah, maybe he can help us
get to where were going, said
Zeke excitedly.
But instead of helping, the
dog slobbered all over them.
Luckily he got dragged away
from them before he had a

When I got to jail, my cellmate asked me, How did you

I said I robbed a bank. He

Then the guard walked by

by he was going to give me
a letter. I opened the letter.
Inside there was a teleporter,
phone, saw, gun and plunger.
The piece of paper said, Take

I turned the corner and there

I went the other way. I

can
peaches.
One
day,
Lucy
was
allowed to go
to the woods.
She put her dog Beauty on a
leash and bounded away.
When she got to the woods,
there was a happy chatter all
around her. Squirrels were
chattering and gathering nuts
for the winter. All at once, Lucy
heard a crashing sound behind
her. She whirled around and
saw a big buck. It had beautiful
soft brown eyes.
She had never seen a buck
before, especially not a buck as
big as this. She longed to touch
its fur.

Then she heard another
crashing sound. She whirled
around and there was a big doe
and her fawn. The buck went
over to the doe and her fawn.
Now, she put out her hand
and slowly walked toward
them. They turned and bounded away. She was sad that they
had ran away but maybe they
would come back.
Tthen, suddenly, she noticed
that the sky was beginning to
get darker. Then she noticed
that she was lost. She was frantic now. She began to run. But
soon she turned and ran the
other way. Finally, she found
the trail she usually walked on.
Then she ran all the way home.
When she burst into the
house her mother could see
that she was up to something.
Then Lucy burst out, Guess
what I saw. I saw some deer.
A big buck and a doe and her
little fawn. Then I wanted to pet
them but they ran away. Oh,
mother, can I please go tomorrow?
Yes, you may, said her
mother.
Tomorrow came bright and
early, and at 10:00 sharp Lucy
ran to the woods. And there she
stopped in her tracks. there,
right in front of her, was the
same fawn, the same doe and
the same buck. She had brought
along with her three apples.
She put one on one hand and
slowly walked toward the deer.
They were just ready to run
away when they saw the apple
in her hand.
The deer slowly walked
toward Lucy. Then Lucy handed the buck her apple. the buck
took the apple in no time.
Then Lucy gave another apple to the doe. Then to
the little fawn. When they ate
their apple they bounded away
again.
Every day Lucy went to the
woods and the deer were there
waiting for her. Finally one day
Lucy could give them the apple
and the deer would let her pet
them. She touched the deers
soft fur. It felt like velveet.
Finally, Lucy had her wish.

We went to Colorado for two
weeks. We did a lot of fishing
in lakes and streams. One day
when everybody was sleeping
Dad and I went across the road
to a big mountain. We had to
go over lots of big rocks. We
saw lots fo animals while we
were hiking. It took us about
15 minutes to come near the
top. When we finally came to
the top it was covered with tiny
rocks.
I didnt want to go to the
top because I was afraid that
I would slide back down. Dad
went to the top and said he
could see very far. After awhile
he said it was about time to
start back to the cabin.
We started down the
moutain and could hear the
rest of the family playing.
When we came to the big
rocks we had to go over them
carefully.
When we were past the rocks
I stared to run. I couldnt stop
runing until I came to the road.
Then we went back to the cabin
and played games with the rest
of the family.
After the games we told
them about our hike.

Dear Carlos,
You said in your letter that
you always wanted to be a
prince who nobly goes into battle in disguise. You are always
getting your feelings hurt
because of it so listen and hear
my advice through story about
a cruise ship who wants to be
human.
It all started one sunny
morning when a young cruise
ship had left the harbor for the
first time .He cried as he left
for a journey without his brother. Crescent was ready to ask
his sister, Crissy if he would
be able to become human the
same way she did.
Crissy was able to sing
along with her radio on the
dock while thinking about her
brother who would try to find
her. She would tell him the
wrong stages he had always
wanted to be a human since she
told him about her adventure
and how she turned back and
enjoyed it.
Meanwhile Crescent, as
fast as a race car sped across
the ocean till he saw his sister. Her short build and pink
paint matched the blue water.
He yelled, Crissy, how do I
become a half blood human?
Crissy halted in surprise then
yelled You just sail to an island
and then you make up a human
name. Then last, but not least,
you speak to a human.
So he sailed far off to an
island and quickly said,
The Hoverboard
Tarshish, in a voice filled to
the brim with happiness. Next
he yelled hey to the last passenger off.
He became a human and ran
all the way to a street filled
with other kids. One boy and
one girl ran up and pushed
him into a dumpster full of rotten food. A few seconds later,
he slowly climbed out only to
get punched. He ran down to
the beach and reversed it by
yelling Crescent and once
again yelled to a lady hi and
changed back into a cruise
ship.
So, Carlos, never be ashamed
of who you are because you are
perfect the way you are. Not
even a crown can change that

Sir. Said Juilie
Whatever. Said Emily.
As the girls quietly ran off
to their assigned rooms, Alex
bumped into a cage full of parrots and woke them all up.
They all started flying around
the cage and squawing at the
top their lungs.
Seriously, Alex, said Kara
You had to run into the cage
full of parrots.
And did you even see
them? asked Julie.
Who cares? said Alex
Just help me shut them up.
They quickly grabbed a
blanket and put it over the cage
and waited until the parrots
stopped squawking.
There. Now everyone needs
to be more careful. We cant
ruin this mission. Stay quiet
and be aware of your surroundings. Now go do your jobs.
The girls quickly ran off to
their rooms and started searching. They were hard at work
until they heard screaming. It
was coming from the basement
where Alex was.
All the girls ran down there
to find Alex hanging over a
giant boiling pot and standing
next to the pot was the old lady.
Emily was right she is a
witch! screamed Alex.
Hello there. said the witch
with a grin.

You can have Emily. said

Kara pushing Emily toward the

Wait. Do I get a say in this?
asked Emily
Nope. said Kara grabbing

Dont worry. Im not going

Youre not? Thank you.
I just get really lonely and

I was walking down the
streets of San Diego looking
through windows at delicious
food, clothes and toys when I
saw this shiny, two-wheeled,
red and blue skateboard called
a hoverboard.
I ran into the store to the
store clerk standing at the
counter. She said the hoverboard was brand new. I asked
how much it was. She said it
is the cheapest-selling hoverboard in the world. She walked
over to the window and said
it was $500. I only had $20. I
almost cried.
She said she would pay $50
if I cleaned the shelves and
tables. There were a bunch of
tables but even more chairs.
I went home happy I had $70
already saved up. But I still
had $430. I saw a penny on the
ground. Make that $429.99 to
go.
When I finally reached our
street, I saw Mr. Hanks, our
neighbor, mowing his lawn. An
idea struck my mind. I ran up
to him and asked if I could mow
it. He said if I did, he would
give me $100. He had a huge
lawn.
I was halfway done when he
called me in for lemonade.
There has to be a reason
why you are doing this. Tell
me, said Mr. Hanks.
I told him everything. He
raised the reward to $130.
I earned the rest of the
money by dusting or mowing.
Of course, I was worried they
would run out of hoverboards
or raise the price.
When I got there, the clerk
looked worried when she saw
me.
Im sorry, kid. My boss
raised the price. But let me
tell you a secret. My boss, Mr.
Finkler, lost his keys, phone
and wallet during a home
break-in a few weeks ago.
But he knows the person who
stole them. His name is Alfred
Hanks. He is a criminal who
lives somewhere in San Diego,
said the clerk.
That is my neighbor! I
said with wide eyes.
I jolted down 17th Street past
the supermarket and the Dairy
Queen. Mrs. Packs was carrying a cake across the street.
I went into Mr. Hanks
house but he wasnt there. A
car pulled into the driveway.
I stood in the doorway as he
walked in wearing a black
shirt, pants, Nike shoes and a
ski mask.
I pulled out my phone and
called the police. I noticed the
Wanted poster in the trash
can. It said if anyone turned
him in, there was a $10,000
reward. I found the phone, keys
and wallet.
I got two hoverboards, one
for my little brother and one
for me.
dreds of terrorists were still
trying to take the White House,
but relieved to see that the
president had safely made it
away from the commotion.
He was shooting away when
a chopper goes down near him
and he runs over to it and sees
five people that are injured and
then takes them to an ambulance. Next he runs through
the White House shooting terrorists and saving historical
items. Next, the second floor of
the White House goes crashing
down and Joe being as strong
as he is frees himself and looks
for survivors and takes them to
an ambulance.
Then more terrorists come
in trying to destroy Manhattan.
So, Joe jumps on a plane
heading in the direction of
Manhattan but the terrorists
have previously took over the
sky so Joe asks if he can open
the door or break a window
and shoot it out. The captain
said yes and for the others to do
the same when they landed he
automatically searched for survivors. Also, he shot terrorists.
After the terrorists surrender,
Joe found out that he was the
only volunteer.
So, even though he had to
borrow a rifle from the lieutenant because he ran out of
bullets for his Winchester,
and the Army did not have
any because they do not use
Winchesters in the Army, but
anyhow he won a medal for volunteering to fight off the terrorists and even now the general
was a little mad at him for not
asking him first, he gave him
the honor of being a sergeant.
So, Joe got in his truck, went
back home, packed up and the
next thing he knew he was rootin, tootin and for shootin on
the battle field.

In a far away galaxy is a toy
galaxy. There are four planets,
they are Transformer Town,
Car City, Lego Land, and Train
Town. Everyone in the galaxy
knew there are 3 teleporters,
to go to each different planet.
On Transformer Town about
3 years ago there were 4 autobots, they were Sunstreaker,
Hot Rod, Cliff Jumper, and
Bumblebee. They had all the
teleporters, and they had a mission to go to each planet and
explore the landscape. As they
were going to leave, just then
Tankor and Sky Warp jumped
in the ball of energy, which
are the teleporters. In the ball
of energy that had Tankor and
Bumblebee they were heading
to Train Town. Bumblebee was
not feeling good, when they
landed Bumblebee broke and
Tankor just left him there to
rust because he didnt know
what to do.
In the ball of energy with
Cliffjumper and Sky Warp
Hidden Powers
they did not have a good time
at all, but, when they landed
they found some good friends,
they were Lego Scooby-Doo,
Shaggy, and the Haunted Horse
Man. But, in the ball of energy,
Sunsteaker and Hot Rod accidently went to Lego Land too.
They fell in the ocean. A little
submarine spotted them, and
brought them to the shore and
then the submarine ran out
of air and died, just kidding.
This is what really happened,
as the submarine reached the
shore, he quickly changed into
a hovercraft, and they became
friends. Two years later, they
had some good adventures
together, and now they thought
about Bumblebee and how
to go find him. They did find
Bumblebee. Six mouths, five
weeks, and six days later, they
had their most hardest challenge ever. They had to battle the EVIL TROUBLESOME

do. But, to make a long story

In the year 3,000, a year in time,
farmers were afraid of talking cows.
Then farmer Jonah a 38 year old man,
who was wearing a plaid shirt and blue
jeans, went to their big red barn to
check on their heifer, Junebug, who had
red and white fur. When they got to her,
she abruptly started to talk. They all
went silent.
How did she just talk? asked
Manaia an 18 year old daughter of Jonah
wearing a red dress with blue flowers,
black and red boots, and blue earrings.
I dont know, answered Jonah.
Well, then do something!. shouted
Martha abruptly wearing a red dress
and black boots.
Jonah went to the cow and took a
good look at her.
Why are you staring at me? asked
the cow.
Im just looking. answered Jonah
as he scratched his head in confusion.
Well, do you want to know my name
at least? asked the cow with black fur.
Sure, whats your name? asked
Jonah.
My name is Firefly. I love to eat
lots of grass and drink lots of water,
answered Firefly hoping that they
would feed and water her.
Okay, her name is Firefly. Now I
have to figure out how she got here!
shouted Manaia abruptly while she was
thinking how Firefly got to their barn.
Well, I can give you a clue, stated
Firefly still wondering when theyre
going to give him food and water.
Well, whats the clue? replied
Martha really upset that another cow
has showed up and she doesnt know
where Junebug was at.
The clue is T.T.C.I, answered
Firefly nervously that if they found
out she would have to go back and she
doesnt like it there.
Now what does that stand for?
asked Martha angrily while stomping
back to their blue house.
Jonah and Manaia kept on talking
to Firefly as they fed her grass and
water then they went inside and had a
discussion. We need to figure out how
she got here, replied Martha laying
down on the couch and turning the T.V
on. Suddenly the news came on and
the news lady was talking about The
Talking Cow Investment.
That has to be how she got here. She
must have escaped, shouted Manaia
wanting to get rid of the cow.
How do you know? asked Martha
half way asleep. I just know because
how could she get here and talk to us.
replied Manaia almost ready to give up.
That could be true that she excaped but
I dont have a trailer to take her back.
stated Jonah really sorry that he doesnt

alert is going to go off?
Cheyenne said, Lets ask our

found a big trailer that held four cattle
and it was only four thousand dollars
so she bought the trailer. She drove the
truck and trailer back home and she got
Firefly.
Where are you taking me? asked
Firefly really scared that she would take
her back.
Im taking you back to The Talking

proud of herself for doing this.
She took Firefly back to The Talking
Cow Investment. She looked all over
for Junebug but she couldnt find her.
Next she looked at her neighbors house
and there she was, theres Junebug. She
took Junebug back home and fed her.
The next morning Manaia woke up her
mom and dad.
Mom, dad wake up the talking cow
is gone. Also I got you a new trailer!
shouted Manaia really nerves that her
dad wouldnt like the new trailer.
Thank you very much, answered
Jonah and Martha just getting up from
backups to go see if they can see
something.
Max went and told their
backups their parents, Sara and

up to the top of the roof and did
not see a single thing.
Then, at 6:00 in the morning, the crime alert went off. So,
Max went out and could not find
Vinisu, the bad girl. Cheyenne
went out and found her at the

Max hopped in the Camaro and
drove off to the Barbie store and

Youre welcome mom and dad.
Manaia answered back really happy.
But is Junebug back? replied Jonah
scared that Manaia didnt find her.
Yes shes back. answered Manaia
jumping up and down.
Where did you take Firefly? asked
Martha wondering if Manaia took her
somewhere else.
I took her back to The Talking Cow

her mom and dad would be happy for
her.
Were you in trouble? asked Jonah
really happy for Manaia to do all of this.
No I wasnt in trouble, answered
Manaia still happy for herself.
Well we are glad you werent in
trouble. replied Jonah pacing back in

There were a herd of cows outside
and all the farmers were chasing them
and wrecked all the farmers gates so all
the farmers built their gates again.
they saw her stealing. They then
went inside and they couldnt
find Vinisu. So, they went outside and caught her driving off
in Max and Cheyennes Camaro
so they ran and hopped in the
car and threw Vinisu out and
turned around and followed her
to where she keeps her stuff that
she stole.
Cheyenne and Max went up
behind her and saw the code
she pressed and they waited
awhile then pressed the code.
They then called for backup for
Sara and Ryan, their parents,
because there are thousands of

They finally beat up the
robots and stole their powers.
Next, they partied and threw
gallons of water at each other.
They danced and drank pop and

HotM award.
It should be noted that no
organization can be this successful without the help of parents and Crest FCA members
have some really great parents.
However, some have proven to
be a little more giving, which is
obviously where the students
get their hearts and altruism.
Gerald and Stacy Jones, Kathy
Green, Michelle Hendrix and
Joyce Sipe have all went above
and beyond this year to ensure
the success of this group of kids
and our FCA.
Crest FCA students were recognized Feb 2, at a brief ceremony immediately following the
girls varsity basketball game.
The following students are
members of Crest High School
FCA: seniors Evan Godderz,
Lupita Rodriguez, Ashley
Geary, Maya Piper, and Garrett
Sipe; juniors Shelby Ramsey,
Miranda Golden, Jordan
Hendrix, Laurel Godderz,
and Karlee Hammond; sophomores Hayden Seabolt, Austin
Louk, Caleb Stephens, Austin
Hendrix, Makayla Jones,
and Dylan McCutchen; and
freshmen Hayden Hermreck,
Breyanna Benjamin, Regan
Godderz, Camryn Strickler,
and Kanon Coberley.
