THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A $500 reward is
being offered for anyone who
can provide information on a
series of suspicious fires near
Garnett since the first of the
year. Local law enforcement
and fire officials believe someone may be setting dangerous
grass fires; one suspicious fire
damaged a house and another
also threatened a home.
The reward is being offered
by the Anderson County
Amish volunteer crews construct a new barn and
shop Tuesday, Feb. 10, at the site of the Mont Ida
Buggy Shop, which was destroyed by fire Feb. 5.
The business is owned by a local craftsman, Larry
Bontrager, who makes custom buggies and buggy
wheels.

GARNETT Bitterly cold temperatures and snow likely will
stick around for awhile.
Anderson County residents
woke up Monday morning to
about 2 inches of snow and temperatures in the teens. The cold
weather is expected to stick
around at least through the
weekend, and more snow was
possible today and next weekend.

intentionally setting fires to
ditches, fields, grass, brush or
any other type of property without the property owners permission is arson, a felony.
These fires are costing
taxpayers thousands of dollars, not to mention placing
first responders, equipment
and homes in harms way,
Valentine said.
There have been about 14
suspicious fires since the first
of January, J.D. Mersman,
(Crest) got the day off Monday,
although USD 365 students
already planned to have the
day off for a teacher in-service. Crest students earned a
snow day, the first of the year.
However, school was not canceled for students in USD 288,
the Central Heights district in
southern Franklin County.
So far, this winter has been a
roller coaster of temperatures,
with bitterly cold temperatures followed by unseasonably warm days. It has been
very dry, though, and the 2
inches of snow reported at the
Garnett Industrial Airport at
8 a.m. Monday is the most sigSEE WEATHER ON PAGE 3A
MONT IDA Larry Bontrager has helped others
before. If a barn burned down or some other
tragedy befell his fellow Amish folk, he was there
to help.
But being on the receiving end was new for
him. Last week, he watched as about two dozen
Amish men rebuilt his barn and buggy workshop
which was destroyed by fire Feb. 5. By Tuesday,
Feb. 10, crews had built the frame and were well
on their way to finishing the structure within
days.
I cannot express what it means. Its a humbling experience. It sure changes my outlook on
this life, Bontrager said.
Bontrager owns the Mont Ida Buggy, which
makes custom buggies and buggy wheels. He has
made buggies for about 30 years, and is known
throughout the region for his craftsmanship and
skill.

BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The partnership
between the City of Garnett and
the local Chamber of Commerce
could become a shining example of how to combine resources and save money. At least
thats how city and Chamber
leaders see the deal, which
was approved Tuesday, Feb. 10
at the regular meeting of the
Garnett city commission.
work 150 percent to try to
make this work.
The partnership will move
the Garnett Area Chamber of
Commerce office into City Hall,
and the city will hire an employee who would split his or her
time 50/50 between Chamber
duties and city administrative
duties. The position will be managed by the citys Community
Development Director, currently Susan Wettstein, but
the employee ultimately would
answer to both the city and
Chamber Board of Directors.
The city will pay the employees wages, retirement account
and benefits, but the Chamber
will reimburse the city for half
of the wages and retirement
costs.
The goal of the partnership
is to share resources, because
many of the Chambers activities overlap the citys tourism
efforts. The partnership also
will allow the Chamber, which
has struggled to find a parttime director, to utilize the
citys resources and employment benefits. The Chamber
has not had a director in its
office for about four months.
Commissioner
Gordon
Blackie said he was concerned
about the chain of command,
specifically that the employee
would get caught in a tug-of-war
between the city and Chamber.
Im looking at this from the
point of view of that employee what they are trying to do and
not trying to please two people
who are disagreeing with each
other, Blackie said.

city and Chamber carefully
spells out the employees job

ANDERSON COUNTY BOARD OF
COMMISSIONERS FEB. 2
Chairman Jerry Howarter called
the meeting of the Anderson
County Commission to order at
9:00 AM on February 2, 2015 at
the County Commission Room.
Attendance:
Jerry Howarter,
Present: Eugene Highberger,
Present: Leslie McGhee, Present.
The pledge of allegiance was
recited. Minutes of the previous
meeting were approved as presented.
Road and Bridge
Lester Welsh, Road Supervisor
met with the commission. He has
reviewed the truck bids and sees
no problem going with the low bid
for a Mac truck. Commissioner
Highberger moved to approve the
purchase of a 2015 Mac semi
tractor from Westfall ODell for
$99,805 plus $675 for a DEF
extended warranty out of Special
Machinery.
Commissioner
McGhee seconded. Approved
30. Konklin Construction came
last year and mixed the material
for the lay down machine. They
came last week and took a core
sample from one of our roads.
The amount of chip seal in the
core would allow them to grind
off part of the chip seal and they
would mix it and relay it as they
go with a new machine Konklin
has. He will look at the overall
price to see whether it is more
economical to use the lay down
machine or have Konklin come in
and use their machine.
Noxious Weed
Vernon Yoder, Weed Director
met with the commission. He
presented his year end report for
commission approval. The commission signed year report. He
talked to the commission about
hiring a part time person. His
former employee has retired and
he did not have any help last year.
Due to that Vernon had to spend
more time in the office and was
not able to work on the weeds in
the county as much last year. The
Commission approve Vernon
placing an ad for a part time
person.
Appraiser
Marion Johnson, Appraiser
and Steve Markham, Assistant
Appraiser met with the commission. They presented information from other counties on what
they pay for a GIS Tech. The
Commission recommend they
present their information to the
salary committee to see what they
recommend.

Harris. Commissioner McGhee
seconded. Approved 30. JD
talked to the commission about
the possible purchase of thermal
imaging cameras. Commissioner
Highberger moved to purchase
a thermal imaging camera from
Jerry Ingram Fire and Rescue at a
cost of $4,695.00 out of the rural
fire fund. Commissioner McGhee
seconded. Approved 30. JD
talked to the commission about
how the volunteer firemen are
paid. The chiefs have talked about
the situation and they recommend
that the Garnett Rural Station firemen do not get paid individually
but receive a set amount for the
station per call like all the other
rural stations do. The local station
has been receiving individual pay
as they are also paid individually
by Garnett City. He talked to the
commission about the possibility
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
grass 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 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).

REWARD…
FROM PAGE 1A
Anderson County Emergency
Management Director, said.
Another 10 or so fires also
were reported during that timeframe, but fire officials were
able to determine the cause of
those fires.
Mersman said the cause of
the suspicious fires has not
been determined, and the fires
seemed to be concentrated in
one area near Garnett.
A lack of rain in recent
months has made for very dry
conditions, which allows fire to
spread more rapidly. Mersman
recently urged people to be
careful when burning fields or
even trash, and said the high
number of grass fires so early
in the year was unusual. Even
in dry conditions, firefighters
typically are not called to this
many out-of-control fires until
around March, when farmers start their annual pasture
burning to control weeds and
improve nutrient content.
Out-of-control fires can
threaten structures and equipment; firefighters and others
who respond could be in danger
REBUILD…
as well, Mersman and Valentine
said. And because all county
firefighters are volunteers, they
often must leave their paying
jobs to fight those fires.
Were taking this very
seriously, Mersman said.
There could be potential arson
charges. If someone is injured,
it would be even worse than
arson.
Anyone who plans to burn
should first call Anderson
County dispatchers at (785) 4486823 to obtain a burn permit.
To obtain a permit, simply call
and provide basic information
like name, address and the type
of burn. If a burn ban has been
put in place because of adverse
conditions, dispatchers will
not issue the permit. Someone
burning trash in a container with a mesh cover is not
required to obtain a burn permit before burning, but most
other types of outdoor burning
require such a permit.
Anyone caught burning
without a permit may be issued
a citation and could face jail
time, as well as having to pay a
fine, plus the costs involved in
putting out a fire.
WEATHER…
FROM PAGE 1A
nificant snowfall so far. The
snow, which was preceded by
sleet, added just 0.17 inches of
moisture.
Low temperatures Sunday
night into Monday morning
reached 13 degrees. High temps
Monday were not much higher
than that.
The cold temperatures are
expected to continue. The
National Weather Service at
Topeka predicts temperatures
below freezing throughout the
week, with highs in the 20s
until Friday and low temperatures in the teens or lower, and
wind chill readings as low as
zero.
By Friday and continuing
through the weekend, the area
could see temperatures reach
the upper 30s, but as of Monday
there was a 30 percent chance
for rain or light snow between
Friday night and Sunday.

office, including contact information for clients and vendors. The fire also destroyed
all the blueprints for his work.
Because the Amish do not use
much, if any, modern technology, the information was kept in

Also lost were antique leather working tools, an essential
part of his craftsmanship.

Some of the changes we
made were to keep as separate
as we could, the lines of responsibility. If theres a problem
that happens when this employee is doing Chamber business,
it wouldnt be the citys responsibility to step in and fix it. The
Chamber still has that responsibility. Similarly, they cannot
step in and tell the city manager how to run that half of the
employees business, he said.
Mayor Preston Peine said
there would have to be a general agreement to work things
out.
Martin, Wettstein and other

crews came from various religious denominations, including Amish, Mennonites and
others. Some were related to
Bontrager, including his sons
and sons-in-law, but some were
strangers.
The Mont Ida Church of the

doors to allow people to set up
meals and refreshments for the

motivation and positive attitude, Wettstein said, as well as
someone who could handle the
overlapping responsibilities
between the city and Chamber.
Its really important to me
we inspire this person to have
the kind of mentality I have. If I
died tomorrow, there would be
no one who could run our website, our government access
channel, our social media, she
said. Second Saturdays is a
prime example of the opportunities. This person could
go meet with the businesses
and develop a relationship,
and actually help with Second
Saturdays itself. The Chamber
could gain new members by
that relationship developing,
and allow me time to do other
things.
Martin said she and
Wettstein would make sure the
person fully understood the
citys operations, so he or she
would be prepared to answer a
variety of questions.
We want this person to be
educated and love the city as
much as we do, Martin said.
They pointed to some of
the benefits of the deal, such
as having someone available during regular business
hours to answer Chamberrelated questions. Many of the
Chambers activities coincide
with the citys tourism events,
and combining the two entities would allow them to avoid
duplicating services.

50 shades of feminist failure
Dear feminism: Somewhere along the
way, you lost the millennials.
Im not sure how. Heaven knows theres
been lots of hollering and marching and
raising of paychecks and hub-bub about
health insurance covering birth control
and de-gendering our society and fervently
feminizing boys and public school classrooms. But when it comes to beating back
their affinity toward the Y chromosome,
the 20-something girls seem to have lost the
message.
Werent you done lighting bras when
this millennial Rome was caught fire? Were
you too wrapped up in congressional lobbying? Too aimed at establishing women as
a preferred minority? Too bent on giving
women preference in everything from SBA
loans to FCC radio frequency licenses?
Too busy making sure female soldiers got
combat assignments so they could compete
with their male colleagues for promotions?
Granted, feminism, youve been awfully
busy the past several decades.
Somewhere, you took your eye off the
ball on two points: 1) you failed to convince
women in their 20s and 30s they can get by
without a man, and 2) you never came up
with a decent hairstyle for Gloria Steinem.
I know the latter is true by her occasional TV appearance. I can sum up my basis for
the former with two words: Miley Cyrus.
Youll recall Miley once declared herself
one of the biggest feminists ever, but I
have to say I cant remember if this was
before or after she twerked that dude in her
skivvies on national TV. I dont recall seeing an illustration of the twerk in the SCUM
Manifesto.
Goodness, the other examples just leap
right off the Internet. Kendra Sunderland,
the former Oregon State student who filmed
the live solo sex act in the university library
(those old card catalogs are tall, but theyre
sturdy!) became an Internet sensation a few
months ago when she dropped trou in the
natural sciences stacks for some unknown
audience- presumably a paid cam show- on
her laptop. She apparently missed the feminist treatise on avoiding objectification, but
she darn sure knows how to make a buck
off free university wifi. She may also bear
responsibility for the 94% uptick in male
library traffic.
But its the 50 Shades of Grey hysteria
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
in the estrogen community that no doubt
best illustrates the collapse of feminisms
primary principle. Four decades of womens ascendency comes crashing down with
a simple modern plot: regular girl meets
hot rich guy and becomes his submissive
sex slave, even though she draws the line
at really weird stuff like beatings (ouchthats gonna leave a mark!) because, well,
shes really in love with him. Its like Linda
Lovelace meets Ellie Maye Clampett.
If 50 Shades of Grey sets feminism back
its not because someone wrote the book and
made the movie; its because women from
20-60 have swooned so for its assertions of
male-dominant erotica. Feminism is still
alive, of course, but right now its going
ignored in movies like Jupiter Ascending,
a really confusing and geeky sci-fi flick
which my 11 year-old daughter and I braved
the 50 Shades crowds to see Sunday night.
In this movie, (spoiler alert) Mila Kunis
makes a decision to sacrifice herself and
her family so the rest of mankind on Earth
doesnt get harvested by aliens (ew).
True, she has the muscle of a pointy-eared
Channing Tatum to help her battle the bad
guys, but its clear (eventually- like I said,
the first hour is like mental spaghetti ) that
its going to take the both of them to save
Earth.
Now, thats equality.
In the meantime the institution of feminism is going to have to be satisfied with the
trappings of government-enforced preferred
minority status that it worked so hard to
build. When it comes to female self-actualization and self-evident equality with men,
its going to be up to Mila Kunis.
The Return of Evil
Where is Chris Kyle when you need him?
The late hero of the movie American
Sniper made no apology for killing as many
members of al-Qaida in Iraq, the precursor of
ISIS, as he could get in his rifle sights.
After a captured Jordanian pilot was
burned alive, who would object to Kyle, or
any other American sniper, shooting down
these murderous fanatics if he could get
access to them? And who would quibble with
Kyles characterization of these people as
savages?
Part of what the left finds objectionable
about Kyle is his unshakable moral certainty. But in light of ISISs spectacular advertisements of its own cruelty, Kyles point of view
holds up very well. The ISIS beheadings last
summer marked the return of the rhetoric of
evil, because no other word will quite suffice
for beheadings, crucifixions and, now, an
immolation.
Violent extremism, the administrations
phrase of choice, obviously doesnt capture
it. You can pile on the adjectives — hideous,
savage, heinous — and still not get at the
boundless malevolence of caging a man and
burning him alive.
In his first statement after the horrifying
news of the pilots fate, President Barack
Obama said the act reinforced the viciousness and barbarity of ISIS, which he repeated must be — what else? — degraded and
ultimately defeated. He added that what-
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
ever ideology theyre operating off of, its
bankrupt.
Argentina is bankrupt. Radio Shack is
bankrupt. ISIS is evil.
Obama has used the word evil about
ISIS on other occasions, although obviously
not as often as his predecessor. George W.
Bush made unapologetic use of the word and
caught hell for it. On the left, it became a
given that it spoke to his manifest unsuitability for the presidency.
Commentator Bruce Bartlett unburdened
himself of this deep thought: Bush believes
the Islamic radicals cant be persuaded, that
theyre extremists, driven by a dark vision.
Let Us Prey
We all know what a homer is; that sportscaster or columnist who shamelessly boosts
the home team, which is his or her bread and
butter. In fact, usually the team approves the
announcers to guarantee this lovefest.
Its irritating but acceptable in the sports
world, but its ridiculous when it comes to
speaking about our nation or, dare I say it,
religion. Unfortunately thats rampant too,
with pandering commentators and politicians ready to leap anytime anybody has the
audacity to suggest that the home country or
the home religion should get anything but
adoring, one-sided analysis. And its hardly a
lovefest.
Just ask President Barack Obama, who,
at the National Prayer Breakfast, described
the insanely violent hordes who are terrorizing Syria and Iraq as a brutish, vicious
death cult. But then he had the audacity to
also mildly add that many religions, including Christianity, need to remember their
own histories of violence and oppression.
He seemed to be making an obvious point
when he said: Lest we get on our high horse
and think this is unique to some other place,
He understands them, because hes just like
them.
Yeah, they were exactly the same except
that one unhesitatingly ordered the hijacking
of civilian aircraft to crash into skyscrapers,
and the other unhesitatingly described that
act of mass murder as evil.
What is it about the word evil that so
offends the left?
It smacks of a religious worldview that
makes secularists uncomfortable. It sets up
a natural opposition between good and evil
that is altogether too confident in our own
virtue for the left. It doesnt necessarily entail
any particular policy response, but it tilts
toward a total commitment to fighting the
enemy, since a campaign to degrade evil feels
inherently inadequate.
If Bush was ill-served at times by his stubbornness and certainty, its always worth
remembering that Democrats were perfectly
content to lose to al-Qaida in Iraq when Bush
was ordering the surge in 2007, and Obamas
insistence on pulling out of Iraq entirely was
a priceless boon to ISIS.
We were supposed to be beyond good versus evil, although the other side didnt get
the memo and never left the field. Its almost
as if the greatest trick evil ever played was
persuading the left not to call it by its proper
name.

Get ready to take a good, hard look at education
If there is one culture in Kansas that is isolated from nearly every other, its probably
K-12 educationyour local school district.
There are Kansans who like that isolation,
making sure that school board members are
not tied to a political party, that they dont get
suggestions from someone upstream either
politically or through the finance of their
election campaigns. Makes sense to some.
There are Kansans who think that isolation essentially makes those school board
members less representative of the public
that elects them and whose children are in
school, and more responsive to the districts
administrators than to the taxpayers who
help support the schools.
And, theres that third factor that operating public schools is now very complicated. There are state and federal laws to be
observed, and, well, the schools that kids
attend now are instructionally very different
than those back in the days before cars came
with shoulder belts, or that many people
knew that for some pupils, their best meal of
the day was their free or reduced-price lunch.
Or, even before the Internet.
That education culture is hard to understand fully, and many school board elections
draw a fraction of the turnout that participates in those November general government
elections for state and national officials.
Maybe thats a good thing. Maybe those
spring school board election voters know
what goes on in the schools, what policies
and courses and proceduresthat all cost
money, of courseare necessary to make
sure that your children will be job-ready
when they graduateand move out of your
STATE COMMENTARY
MARTIN HAWVER, At The Rail
home.
Lots of talk at the Statehouse about
low turnout in those spring school board
elections, and maybe thats a good thing
because presumably those voters are interested enough to know what issues are important, and if their elections were moved to
November, the school boards candidates just
become a few more boxes to check off before
you get back to the car.
And, are those off-the-cuff, just check the
box beside the names you arent really familiar with votes that you want to elect the people who run your schools? If the candidates
must become partisan, as at least one bill getting a hard look by the Legislature proposes,
what does that mean?
Will Republicans spend less on schools, or
less on administering the school district and
more in the classroom? Will Democrats make
sure the administration takes care of harder-to-educate students so they are job-ready
when they are graduated?
Maybe that political isolation of school
board electionsin the spring without party
labels behind their namesis best, maybe
not. Its sure a place for political upstarts
to open their election careers, getting the
probably unstudied votes of party-line voters,
which can be leveraged for higher offices
later. Or maybe it is a place for those whose
sole interest is educating your children, without a non-education focused general government political party litmus test to meet.
There may just be some significant education/election legislation this year that tosses
all those questions in the air. Theres even a
bill introduced that would disqualify teachers, those married to teachers, who have
children who are teachers or who live in
the same house with teachers, from seeking
school board seats. Thats a way to eliminate
the inward-focused industry of educating
children, if thats what you are looking for.
Those decisions come as state funding for
school districts is headed downward, and
local property taxes for those without children in school or much reason to know what
happens in the classroom and why are probably going to inch upward.
Nearly everything dealing with the issues
of education and voting are intertwined this
session. And, not surprisingly, nobodys sure
how it gets sorted outif it does

BOB FRANKEN, King Features Syndicate
remember that during the Crusades and the
Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds
in the name of Christ. He then went on, In
our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all
too often was justified in the name of Christ.
Well, the homers went bananas. The presidents comments this morning at the prayer
breakfast are the most offensive Ive ever
heard a president make in my lifetime, were
the words of Virginias former Republican
governor Jim Gilmore. He has offended every
believing Christian in the United States.
And of course Rush Limbaugh jumped in
to say that the president had insulted the
whole gamut of Christians. Thats a lot of
Christians.
POTUS wasnt just targeting Christianity,
but all religions that are twisted and misused in the name of evil. His main focus was
the most noxious present-day example — the
madmen who are inflicting their evil on those
who have the grievous misfortune of living
on the land that ISIL, or whatever you want
to call them, occupy with little resistance.
They seem to take delight in showing off their
extreme inhumanity. Its not exactly accurate
to describe them as Muslim fanatics, because
they have simply used the religious excuse to
justify their own depravity.
To think otherwise certainly is dangerous
to the millions of those who are Islamic and
practice in peaceful ways and lead law-abiding lives here and elsewhere. To tarnish them
with the atrocities of the maniacs in Iraq and
Syria is inviting prejudice and discrimination
that goes against the American ideal of pluralism. As for those monsters in the Mideast who
say they are rampaging to create a caliphate,
its not a caliphate at all; its an asylum. And
the inmates are running it.
President Obama has made it very clear he
believes just that, and those who object to his
context are either blinded by their own fervor,
or very clear-eyed about their politics.
His loudest critics this time are the same
Republicans who relentlessly preach that he
has weakened the nation, largely because he
just isnt passionate about the countrys values. They incessantly suggest that hes just
not one of us. Hopefully, well have the good
sense to realize that the last thing we need is
unthinking homers.

Tyson recaps fireworks in February on school funding bill
Last year in May a bill was
signed into law that increased
K-12 funding. The legislature
was told in the increase would
be approximately $129 million.
However, legislators were told
in November, it was actually an increase of $190 million
after being calculated with the
complicated school formula
and updated variables. Senate
Bill (SB) 71 was introduced
to capture the unanticipated
increase of $61 million. The
bill as it reads would take effect
immediately. Senate Ways and
Means had a hearing on the
bill but action has not been
taken. The hearing was one of
the most animated I have seen
since I have been in the legislature.
The budget and school funding are topics that are front
and center in the legislature.
Because of increased budgets
and because revenues (taxes
collected) are far below what
was estimated, tax increases
will also be under consideration.
It is amazing how the legislature works sometimes. The
KANSAS
LEGISLATURE
By CARYN TYSON,
Kansas Senate
12th District
House gutted a bill that would
result in legislative oversight
of the Office of Information
Technology Services (OITS)
and replaced it with a budget
bill, referred to as a rescission bill. After the gut-n-go
SB4 became House Substitute
for SB4 (HS for SB4). After
the House passed the bill, the
Senate Majority Leader made
a motion to concur with HS for
SB4. This allowed for debate on
the Senate floor but no amendments could be offered. The
rescission bill increases spending $151 million and moves
money from KDOT and KPERS
to pay bills. Some of the $151
million increased spending is
money the State is obligated
to pay (increase in Medicaid
Caseload of $46 million). The
bill passed the Senate on a vote
of 24 to 13. I voted No. As the
number one freedom fighter in
the senate, fighting for a smaller and smarter government to
protect your freedoms, I cannot
support this huge increase in
spending which grows government.
In November 2014, the
Consensus Revenue Estimating
Group estimated a $278.7 million decrease from the original state general fund estimates. The Governor issued
an allotment plan in December
to transfer $219.9 million of
funds from programs to cover
the decreased estimates. The
allotment did not impact education funding. However on
Thursday, after learning
January receipts had fallen $47
million short of expectations,
the Governor plans to cut the
increases in K-12 education by
1.5% and Higher Ed by 2%.
Cutting education funding is
one of the last options considered. Even with the $47 million
reduction, education funding
for the year has still increased
by $197 million over fiscal year
2014; a $177 million increase for
K-12 and a $20 million increase
for Higher Ed. The Governor
encouraged school districts to
use reserve funds to offset a
smaller than expected increase
in K-12 spending from the previous year.
The Governor has proposed
issuing up to $1.5 billion in
pension obligation bonds
for KPERS unfunded liability. This action has not been
approved or considered by the
legislature. HS for SB 4 and
the Governors cuts reduced
KPERS scheduled payments
from 11.3% to 8.7%. While it
was a decrease in payment,
money was not removed from
the pension fund. KPERS is
currently 60% funded, which is
the most it has been funded in
23 years.
Each chamber has a set of
rules for conducting business
and there is a set of joint rules
for meetings between the two
chambers. This year the House
made a change to the joint rules
in an attempt to stop the practice of combining several bills
into one (bill-bundling). The
new rule would not allow more
than 2 bills to be combined in
conference committee. When
conference committees meet,
they tend to bill-bundle and
the final bill must be voted up
or down without amendments.
This usually happens in the last
days of session, late at night
when legislators do not have
the time or energy to thoroughly vet the bill. It is how some
bad legislation gets passed. I
have seen as many as 11 bills
combined in this fashion. I
support the House position of
limiting bill-bundling to 2 bills,
which would give everyone a
chance to know what they are
voting on. However, a majority
of the Senators voted to remove
the 2 bill limit. The compromise that is coming out of the
conference committee is a limit
of 5 bills to be bundled except
for the Ways & Means and Tax
committees, which will not be
limited. The Senate will most
likely vote on the joint rules
next week.
Last year we passed a bill
to sunset medium motor carrier requirements for one year
because of the issues with a
bill passed in 2013. SB 21 is in
response to those issues. It will
allow folks pulling a trailer (rig
and trailer of 26,000 lbs. or less)
to go back under the Kansas
Corporation
Commission
(KCC). They will be able to
operate statewide as long as
they follow the states safety
regulations. SB 21 passed the
Senate unanimously.
The past week several people
lost loved ones. One of whom
was Representative Hedkes
wife, Annette. Annette died
tragically in an automobile-pedestrian. My prayers and sympathy for all who have lost a
loved one.

Three tips help protect your digital info Cloverbuds offers
With all the stories on the
news about Sony being hacked
and movies stolen, as well as
customer information breaches
at Target and other businesses,
computer security is an important topic for discussion.
Big business isnt the only
target for these hackers. Your
mom, dad and grandmother are
very important and lucrative
targets as well. These hackers
can use their computers to
target others, steal their information and ransom their files,
among other things.
As the U.S. has defended its
borders against attackers so do
we with our computers. I have
a few tips that might get the
typical computer user a step
ahead of the hackers.
1. Always update your operating system and applications.
If you are running a Windows
machine, make sure your windows update is set to run auto-

matically. Microsoft releases
updates the second Tuesday of
every month, Patch Tuesday
as it is commonly referred.
Also, those popups telling you
to update Java or Adobe should
be taken seriously. When you
visit an infected site the hackers can scan your computer for
outdated software that can be
hacked into and target your
machine with the correct malware to infect it. Secunia PSI is
a great program that can scan
for outdated software and help
you get them updated.
2. Back up. Whether you
know how to backup your files
to a CD, DVD, thumb drive,
external hard drive, or the
cloud, make sure they are
backed up regularly. The latest
scheme by hackers is to encrypt
all the files on your computer and hold them for ransom:
Either pay for the decryption
key to unlock your files in bitcoins or lose your files forever.
Many of the attacks cannot be
be fixed and if you dont have
a recent backup of your files
then they are truly gone forever. If you are using a cloud
backup service like Carbonite
or Backblaze, all of your files
are safe and quickly retrievable. Plus, you have the added
benefit that you dont have to
remember to backup your files.
It is done in the background as
soon as you make changes.
3. Pay attention to the
address bar and home page on
your browser. Whether you
use Internet Explorer, Firefox,
Chrome, Safari, or anything
else, if you think you are at
your banks website, look at the
address bar and make sure it
says https://banksite and that
nothing is misspelled. Also if
your homepage is www.msn.
com, make sure it doesnt
change either. If your home
page changes, that is a clear
sign that something may be on
your computer that you dont
want.
There are many more tips
but just these three will help
you stay much safer if you
follow them religiously. You
wouldnt expect your car to stay
running if you didnt do regular maintenance on it. Dont
expect your computer to run
without doing maintenance on
it.
More tips are on the way.

Crest falls to Olpe 68-39
OLPE Crest came out cold
against Olpe last week, and you
just cant do that against a team
thats earned a No. 3 2A ranking. Olpe dusted the Lancers
68-39.
Whats more, Lancer head
coach Travis Hermreck said
his team was an accomplice.
The loss came on the heels of a
68-44 win against Chetopa.
We made it easy for them
tonight, he said. Not long ago
we were the team that played
harder than our opponents.
Sometimes a good tail-kicking
cleanses a team better than
anything.
Crest trailed Olpe 15-5 after
the first period and never
snapped into gear enough to
make a run at the margin. It
was 30-17 at the half, and Olpe
blistered up 19 points in each
period in the second half.
Its a lull Hermreck hopes
dissipates over the next five
games that separate the
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, February 17, 2015
Lancers from sub-state play.
We have too much pride
and character to go quietly,
Hermreck said, so I would bet
the boys bounce back and get
back to being what we were
when we had some hunger.
Austin Green led the
Lancers with 15 points.
Hunter Frazell had 9, Evan
Godderze 7, Brandon Brallier
3 and Christian Troxel 2. Olpes
Krueger and Redeker had 19
and 18 respectively.

Make referral program
simple, motivating
The gist of referral programs
isnt nearly as complicated as it
sounds. It just goes back to the old
adage that word of mouth is the
best advertising.
And it really is. One business
study showed that a customer
whos referred to your business from another customer has
a 16-18 percent higher lifetime
value theyre more loyal and
theyre less expensive to acquire
on average than other customers.
The music industry has been
the best example of an unsung
referral program for eons. Hey,
listen to these guys, someone
tells you as they cue up a song
they like. That happened to me
when I was in the 7th grade, and
Ive been buying KISS records
and merchandise ever since.
KISS acquired me as a fan and a
customer without ever running
an ad, offering me a coupon or
spending a nickel on marketing
directed at me. My cousin did all
the work for them.
Though that kind of referral
is cheap, the problem is it can be
the hardest to get, because unlike
placing an ad in your local newspaper or radio or TV station or
free Internet site, you have little
or no control. Your customer is
in charge. How do you know your
present customer will refer you?
You dont. But you can organize things youre already doing
to try to ensure it.
For starters, you have to be a
business that a customer wants to
refer someone to. That goes back
to value the idea that customers get their moneys worth or
more by doing business with you
through great products and great
service.
Next you need a premium not
just for the present customer you
hope will do the work for you, but
also for the unknown new referral as a motivator to come experience you. I recommend making
both the premiums the same a
free something (everybody likes
getting something for free) or a
percentage off a followup pur-

chase.
Next you need a simple vehicle to communicate the referral
offer. There are loads of special
software programs you can buy
on the Internet to track referrals
and award custom points and
all that jazz, and thats great if
you have the money and staff
to conduct it, but I like a simple
referral card or tear-off coupon
at the counter you can hand to
a customer as youre thanking
them for their business. Dont
ask them if they want to participate just put their name on it
and hand it to them. You can find
free formats for these on the web
and print them from your own
computer, or have a local print
shop make them up for you.
Make sure you have a line
with the present customers
name, and a blank line beneath it
for the referred customers name.
Ideally, your present customer
hands off the card to someone
who then redeems it with you
on your promise of a free pair
of gloves with purchase, a free
sandwich with a $10 order, etc.
When redeeming the card, write
the referred customers name on
the second line.
Then the best idea is to find a
place on the wall or near the cash
register to tape or thumbtack
up the redeemed referral cards
that way referrers can see if
their buddy redeemed the card,
and you promote the program to
in-store traffic.
Referral programs dont have
to be complicated, they just have
to be motivating.

2005: Railroad complicates plant plans
Feb. 15, 2005
Four years after Greeley
residents developed softball
facilities in order to boost the
beginning of the Anderson
County High School girls softball program, USD 365 board
members acted to move girls
games to newly constructed
fields in Garnett after concerns
over travel safety and convenience. Pat Rockers, who was
instrumental in coordinating
the efforts that led to the construction of the two Greeley
fields in 2000, estimated the
move would cost the Greeley
Parent Teachers Organization
around $800-$1,000 in revenues
it made from operating the concession stand at the five or so
home games played there each
season.
East Kansas Agri Energy
organizers say a late-in-thegame switch up by Union
Pacific Railroad will force the
ethanol project to need an additional lot in the citys industrial park, but city officials
are already in negotiations on
that lot with another developer. UPAC recently increased its
requirement for the plants rail
siding to accommodate 40 cars
instead of 35, which meant the
siding either had to be re-engineered and lengthened if possible in the existing space to
accommodate the extra cars, or
more land would be needed.

after an after-school tutoring
session ended at about 4:30 p.m.
At GEC. An 8-year-old boy was
walking home on Walnut Street
when a car pulled up, a black
woman wielding a pistol got
out and ordered the boy into
the car. GEC principal Nancy

Since the incident occurred,

and accepted. One item in the

There is no better-equipped
printing office in this part
of the state than The Review
office. We are prepared to handle any kind of work in line.
A larger and better newspaper
press has just been installed,
which will do much more satisfactory work than the old press.
A lot of new type faces have just
been received the latest style
for job printing and advertising
display. And we have the people who know how to handle
them. Our job man is W. J.
Leatherman, from Lawrence,
who is an experienced printer. Then there is Intertype, the
machine that makes new type
every day and is manipulated by Robert Reed, who is an
expert machinist-operator. He
not only sets up The Review
every day, but sets sale bills
and other bills of every kind:
circulars, booklets, etc., making bright, new type for every
job. This office was never so
well equipped for doing printing of all kinds as it is today.
We use only the best materials
and employ none but trained
people to do the work. SO, when
you want a job of printing done,
you are assured of good, clear
work that is not only easily
read with no old worn letters in it. We solicit your work,
knowing that we can give you
something you will be proud of.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 2-17-2015 / Photo Submitted
There was no gold in this pot when it was dug up last week at Henry Roeckers new site, but it
was still a nice find.
Heres the pot; wheres the gold?
Look! I found the pot, but
wheres all the gold?
I actually found this old
pot while metal detecting
last week at the new site Im
working at. In fact I found
it in the front yard, sitting
upright and covered with
approximately 8 inches of
sod. When I first discovered
it was a buried pot, my ole
heart rate raced a mile a minute, but after discovering it
held nothing but dirt, it didnt
take but a few seconds and it
was beating normally again.
How many of you have
heard the phrase: Theres a
pot of gold waiting for you
at the end of the rainbow.
A pot of gold dates back to
Old Europe, the legend is
claimed enthusiastically by
the Irish. Theyll tell you that
fairies put the gold there and
then the leprechauns guard

it. This folklore has become
part of the symbolism of St.
Patricks Day, a holiday that
celebrates everything Irish,
including the hope and luck it
takes to find that elusive pot
of Gold.
The famous Irish lore is
based on a bit of eye trickery.
In case you didnt know, there
really is no end to a rainbow.

bows are actually full circles,
except the Earth itself gets in
the way of us seeing the complete circle. As humans, our
vision is limited to only see as
far as the horizon.
One good tip, a leprechaun
is sure to be found near his
pot of gold. One needs to be
very careful when approaching any leprechaun as they
are extremely quick and will
vanish at the sight of humans
close by, but if you can manage to creep up behind him
with a net in hope to get the
pot of gold or three wishes. Be
very careful what you wish
for though, as leprechauns
are much smarter than us
humans and are known to
trick people.
Theres another Irish saying that goes: May all the
rocks in your fields turn to
gold.

Remember Mark Chapter 1
In the first chapter of the
book of Mark we are introduced to John the Baptist.
John preached a baptism of
repentance for the forgiveness
of sins. We read the whole
Judean countryside and all the
people of Jerusalem went out
to be baptized by him. This
was a ministry that was quite
foreign to the Jewish rulers.
They saw themselves as children of Abraham and as such
were heirs of the kingdom of
God by birthright. They saw no
need for Johns ministry of baptism. For John to require such
a gesture of radical repentance
was a sign of the approach of
the New Covenant. John could
not actually bestow forgiveness
of sins. Definite forgiveness
of sins belonged to the New
Covenant which Jesus would
bring.
During Johns ministry
Jesus comes from Nazareth
and is baptized by John in the
River Jordan. John is shortly
put in prison and Jesus begins
his ministry in Galilee. Jesus
speaks of the fulfillment of the
Kingdom of God. The Kingdom
of God is that final state of
affairs where Gods supreme
reign is fully realized over the
transformed universe and in
the hearts of all his redeemed
and glorified people.
The
Kingdom is at hand in the sense
that the coming of Jesus sets in
motion all that will bring about
the Kingdom.
Jesus begins his Galilean
ministry by the calling of his
WEEKLY
DEVOTIONAL
By David Bilderback
disciples. He calls two brothers
Simon and Andrew and then
later calls two more brothers
James and John. These men
made their living as fisherman.
Jesus did not seek the religious
leaders to be his disciples. This
radical new covenant was based
on Justification by faith,
rather than by works of the
law, which the religious establishment would have opposed.
Having picked some of his
disciples Jesus now begins a
healing ministry for the sick
and demon possessed. We read,
that evening at sundown they
brought to him all who were
sick or oppressed by demons.
We are told that the whole city
witnessed the healing. Jesus
then leaves Capernaum saying,
Let us go to the next towns,
that I may preach there also, for
that is why I have come. With
this statement Jesus states his
program of evangelistic preaching.
Ultimately Jesus preaching
and teaching became so popular he could no longer enter the
towns as open preaching was
not allowed. Jesus stayed out
in the desolate places and the
people came to him from every
quarter.

on the Holiness of God.
