THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A winter storm is
expected to blow through the
area later this week, potentially
dropping snow, freezing rain
and sleet.
Rain and snow could start
falling over the area after noon

degrees most of the day.
By Wednesday night, however, more snow and sleet likely
will fall before midnight as temperatures drop. Precipitation
will continue to fall, but with

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Anderson County residents got their first look at plans for
a new hospital last week, as the hospital board of trustees and supporters
kicked off a campaign to encourage
people to vote yes on a $25 million bond
question in April.
More than 150 people attended an
informational meeting to learn more
about plans to build a new hospital and
long term care facility. Although the
cost would exceed $25 million, much
of the expense of the new construction
would be paid from increased lease
payments from Saint Lukes Health
System, which leases the county-owned
building to provide health care services.
Saint Lukes has agreed to increase its
least payments from $440,000 per year
to $1.025 million per year for at least 10
years. With the payments from Saint
Lukes, the cost of a new facility would
be about $31 per year for someone who
owns a $50,000 home, or about $12 year
for 80 acres of dry crop land.
The cost of repairing the current
hospital would be even higher, officials
have said. Thats because the building needs significant infrastructure
improvements in virtually all areas:
plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, roofing, and structure. The cost of
those repairs would be about $83 per
year for the owner of a $50,000 home, or
$33 for 80 acres of crop land.
Many people who attended last
weeks meeting were curious about the
cost and the differences between buildSEE HOSPITAL ON PAGE 3A

Tour maps will divide

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Civil War military
encampment sites, a forgotten
railroad segment hand-dug
by Chinese labor and practice
bombing runs by state-of-the
art U.S. military aircraft are
some of the highlights of a set
of four driving tour maps under
development by The Anderson
County Review and planned for
release this spring.
Publisher Dane Hicks
said the maps, which divide
Anderson County roughly into
quadrants and feature a driving tour with local highlights
in each quarter section, should
be available to the public May
1. He said the project was modeled after driving tours developed in Franklin County but
that the Anderson County versions would approach microtourism from a different angle
that would be more in tune with
broader tastes and interests.
To most people U.S. 169
Highway is just a stretch of
two-lane, Hicks said. But if
youre a country music fan and
you knew for instance that it
was a major thoroughfare for
Hank Williams, Sr., on his tours
back in the late 40s and early
50s between Kansas City and
Tulsa, the ride gets a little more
interesting.
Whereas the area may have
no traditional tourist attractions like theme parks or vast
natural phenomena, Hicks said,
a little closer inspection yields a
number of novelties that spark

Customer service will improve, cable rep says
BCI Broadband to offer
faster Internet, more
HD TV channels
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Improving customer service was the biggest
concern for Garnett city commissioners when they met with
a representative from the citys
cable service provider to discuss a change in local cable
ownership.
BCI
Broadband
has
purchased
Allegiance
Communications, which has
served as the franchise cable
service provider for the City
of Garnett since 2004. Pending
FCC approval, the sale could
be finalized in March or April.
After that, the company will
make system upgrades that
could result in Internet speeds
about six times faster than
Allegiance currently provides,
and increased high-definition
television channels, representative Shawn Beqaj said.
BCI is a newly formed company but has roots in a much
older company. Bresnan
Communications, which formed
in 1984. It was sold in 2010 and
several of its executives decided
to form BCI. Beqaj said BCI will
hold true to Bresnans philosophy of providing quality cable
and internet services in small
towns that often are ignored
by major cable companies, he
said. Customer service was the
foundation of Bresnans success, Beqaj told Garnett commissioners.
Commissioners
pressed
Beqaj for specific details as to
how BCI would improve customer service, adding that
Allegiance lost customers primarily because of poor custom-
er service at its call center and
with its technicians. Despite
being the citys franchise cable
provider which basically no
other hard-cable companies will
serve city residents, Allegiance
garnered only 20 percent of
possible area customers.
I dont want to turn this
into what Allegiance has done
wrong. We didnt get where we
were by bad-mouthing the people who were here before, Beqaj
said, adding that Allegiance did

KANSAS STATEHOUSE COLUMNIST
State considers
medical marijuana
in legislature
Maybe us old-timers who hang
around the Statehouse are remembering our youthback when 8-track tape
players were cutting-edge and there was
nothing in the clouds except rainthat
this medical marijuana bill in the House
is such fascinating reading.
There are lots of important bills in
the Legislature, but for those of you
who remember the Mamas & Papas,
the Kansas House Committee on Vision
2020s Cannabis Compassion and Care
Act brings back memories.
There is a genuine health-care purpose for the bill. Cannabis can be a real
and legitimate palliative for those with
serious medical conditions that cause
unrelenting pain and discomfort. Fifteen
states have removed state-level criminal
penalties for the medical use and cultivation of cannabis. And, the bill nobly
notes, Under this bill Kansas joins in
this effort for the health and welfare of
its citizens.
The bill notes that 99 percent of marijuana arrests are made under state law
and just 1 percent under federal law.
Could this be a states rights issue?
Were guessing it will probably draw a
little different crowd for rallies than that
other states rights issuegun ownershipbut its out there…
There is much specific language and
definition in the bill. It describes, for
example, compassion centers where
patients with a prescription-type document from a doctor can pick up their
medicinal marijuanaa maximum of
six ounces a month. The billfor those
of you who remember hearing others
complaintsspecifically exempts seeds
and stems from that six-ounce a month
prescription.
Oh, there are important details in the
measure, including a registry identification card (yes, an out-of-state medical
marijuana card will be honored) and
strict background checks on compassion
center employees. Interestingly, those
compassion center background checks
must be completed in 10 days, while
state law allows 90 days to complete the
background checks on applicants for a
concealed-carry permit.
No compassionate care centers can
be located within 500 feet of the property
line of any existing public or private
school and local governments can limit
the number of compassion centers
were guessing one fewer than the number of payday loan shops.
Its easy to poke fun at the bill, but
it includes a very serious list of medical conditions for which a doctor can
prescribe medical marijuana. It includes
cancer, glaucoma, HIV, AIDs, sclerosis,
Crohns disease, Alzheimers disease,
migraine, inflammatory bowel disease,
arthritis, post traumatic stress disorder,
depression, severe pain, seizures, epilepsy, muscle spasm, and any other medical conditions approved by the Kansas
Department of Health and Environment.
And, expect that while there are
Kansans with very serious medical conditions which would be alleviated by a
little medical marijuana, there are also
Kansans who might be able to talk a doctor into a prescription.
Medical careand better baggies
than were available in the 60shave
come a long way.
But, its a bill just introduced…so
dont start digging around for that tape
with California Dreamin on it just
yet.

Obamas Benghazi success
BY RICH LOWRY
NATIONAL REVIEW
The Obama White House is to be congratulated. It has executed one of the most
effective stonewalls in recent memory over
the Benghazi attack last Sept. 11 that killed
our ambassador to Libya and three others.
Its handling of the aftermath of the debacle is a model example of
the power of obfuscation
and delay. Future highranking officials please
take note: This is how it
is done.
All the smart PR gurus
say it is best to release
bad news as soon as possible to get ahead of the
Lowry
story. The Obama White
House wasnt foolish
enough to follow this hackneyed advice. It
advanced laughably implausible explanations for the attack from the first and has
refused to provide a full accounting of its
handling of it to this day.
The imperative for the White House
was, first, to try to deny that the assault
was a coordinated terrorist attack lest that
undermine its anti-terror credentials and,
second, to push further consideration of
the matter past the November election.
After that, there would be, by definition,
no electoral consequences from more fallout.
So the Accountability Review Board
report from the State Department was
scheduled to hit … in December. When
asked about Benghazi during the campaign, the president could aver, Nobody
wants to find out more what happened
than I do.
Of course, President Barack Obama
always knew what he did or did not do
during the course of the eight-hour attack
that started at the consulate and continued
at a safe house. If he had covered himself
in glory, surely he or someone close to him
would have let reporters know.
Instead, nothing. Time passed, and he
won re-election. When Congress got around
to its Benghazi hearings, Benghazi had
become a watchword for right-wing obsessiveness and lack of perspective. Polite
commentators could barely suppress a
snicker when uttering the word.
The other week, outgoing Secretary
of Defense Leon Panetta revealed under
questioning that after a previously scheduled meeting with the president at the
White House at 5 p.m. at the outset of
the attacks, he had no other communication from the president or anyone else
at the White House the rest of the night.
Neither, according to his own testimony,
did Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Martin
Dempsey. This raises the question of what
President Obama was doing during the
long hours of an attack that killed a U.S.
ambassador for the first time since 1979.
Or it should raise the question. The
press isnt much interested in asking
it. Given the opportunity to query the
president directly in his joint interview
with President Obama and Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton, Steve Kroft of 60
Minutes stuck to more pressing matters,
like any sense of guilt Clinton might feel
about not preventing the attacks.
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of
South Carolina vows to hold up Obama
administration nominees until he gets
answers. His determination is admirable,
but by now, no one really cares. The stonewall worked, alas. Benghazi was a fiasco.
The handling of its aftermath by President
Obama and his team was brilliant. I guess
thats why they call him the commander in
chief.
I have always held the belief that our
city officers were hired to protect
and serve the community. I feel that
encouraging our police to raise revenue for our city through the writing
of excessive tickets does not help to
promote us as the best kept secret
and a nice place to visit. I would ask
that our city leaders focus more on
tourism and visitors coming back
into our town as a way to raise needed revenue. This would also allow
our officers to get back to improving
saftey by responding to calls, monitoring our streets and building public
relations, keeping this the beautiful
friendly town we want to be known
as. Thank you.
I have a question maybe someone can
answer. All you smart people. Can
anyone tell me whatever happened to
the Kansas Lottery money that was
supposed to do all this for education
money in our state? Wasnt it supposed to go to education and building
prisons? I wonder how much more
our state is spending every year compared to what they planned to spend
when they wanted that lottery and
casino money? Just a question. Love
to hear an answer from someone.
Hey Captain Ahab, have you caught
that North Lake giant catfish yet?
A few years ago the gas meters had
to be moved from the yards to next
to the house at the citys expense.
Then a few years later they had to
be moved back to the yard, again at
the citys expense. Now they want
them moved back from the yard to
next to the house at the homeowners expense. What makes any sense
about this and who makes these
decisions, and why should the city
sidewalks be at the homeowners
expense? This town is a complete rip
off. Taxes, schools, jails and now a
new hospital. Does anyone realize
or care that there are many people
living here that just cant afford all
these expenses?

Former student defends Crest coach
Dear Editor,
I am writing in response to a particular
submission to your phone forum. I was taken
aback after reading this particular readers
comments, and take issue, both personal and
professional, to the inane statements and the
manner in which they were delivered. The submission dealt with the actions of an unnamed
Crest High School basketball coach. Although
unnamed, the target of this attack is clear.
I hope in this letter I can shed light upon
the subject and offer clarity for the readers of
Anderson County. I do not claim to be unbiased,
though I will claim to be very well informed
in the matter. I played four years of basketball
and took four years of classes with Coach and
graduated from Crest in May of 2012. First and
foremost I consider Coach a friend, mentor,
and in many ways, a teammate. I now attend
Pittsburg State, and I am eternally grateful for
every moment of guidance and laughter he provided me.
After reading such a negative view upon
Crest basketball, it may surprise some that I
can honestly say that no decision in Lancer
basketball is made without the best interest of
the team and the athletes in mind. I spent many
nights explaining to parents and grandparents
exactly why I had a butt chewing at half court
in front of all my family and friends. Many
people may have thought that athletes receiving such criticism may have been embarrassed
or bitter; I never was. The reason is simple:
while Coach was uncompromising in expectations and criticism on the court, these events
and harsh words were never allowed to affect
our relationship or his relationship with any
student for that matter. The fact of the matter
was that while we often loathed the sprints,
the endless drills, and his unwavering eye for
perfection, our performance on the court was
always held separately from interactions off the
court.
This explained how, after a practice full of
physical exertion and criticism for a past performance, we could exit the gym laughing and
joking with our supposed tormentor. This isnt
bullying. It is not the weak and feeble seeking
the approval of some overbearing power. This
was maturity and professionalism to its finest
degree. While the message was clear, and the
exhaustion real, Coach always provided the
example of letting basketball be basketball, and
life be life. No matter how grave a sin one may
commit on the basketball court, you can always
count on the same interaction and conversation
as always. Whether in the class room or on the
sidewalk, bygones are bygones, and what happens in the gym stays in the gym.
As a friend, Coach is capable of joking at a
high school level, whatever level that may be. As
a mentor, Coach cares for each player, and knew
enough to smooth any rough feelings in private
after a poor performance. As a teammate, Coach
carried our passion and competiveness and
always thought of the team. He preached taking
care of our own, and paid special attention to
those less fortunate or those carrying an extra
burden; no matter what it was. His greatest sin
may possibly be a sin of passion. The passion for
the game and its players is a consuming force
on the hardwood. It is a passion few can understand, not even I. I never felt the same way about
basketball as I did football, but I could relate to
that fiery passion. The actions on the bench any
given night are not acts of aggression nor bullying. In fact, the notion is ludicrous.
The idea that the athletes of Crest are being
bullied by their coach offends me on a very
basic level. It insults my intelligence, and it
insults my resolve to be a better human being.
The idea that a basketball coach has such a
tyrannical grip upon administration and an
entire community that no one can dare stand up
to him is, in a word, lunacy.
The criticism is real, do not be mislead on
that, but the outcome is well worth the turmoil.
The first year in the program is the worst from
an emotional standpoint. It is a completely new
environment complete with older, more mature
(both emotionally and physically) athletes that
have grown in the system. The fragile male
ego is at stake this first year. No one had ever
criticized me so honestly before, nor had anyone offered such frank feedback to many of the
other freshmen. Such clear and concise criticism cuts to the bone. It is a new feeling, to be
reprimanded in such a matter of fact way. It is
through these new feelings of disdain where the
miracle happens. It is different for each player,
but into your sophomore year the comments
can remain personal. This isnt a reality, but a
perception. To a young mind, mine included,
every piece of criticism is wrong, every com-
ment is far from true, and each reprimand is a
personal attack. Once again, this is merely the
perception. Then, over the course of a week,
or a game, or a month, or even a season or
offseason, it all makes sense. It isnt personal;
it is basketball. This revelation is miraculous,
and it is easy to tell when each player has found
their own truth. This is also when improvement
happens. As you accept the criticism as valid,
you learn to improve and grow from it. In my
opinion, this is one of the most valuable skills
any young man must learn.
The ability to accept valid criticism and
change for the better from it, is not a quality
glorified in todays society. Refuting any criticism no matter the validity, bucking the establishment, standing up to authority; these are all
encouraged by our peers and our society, and
are all completely lethal for a basketball team.
As you grow, and naturally mature, you learn
the framework to grow from criticism. None
of this would be possible without Coach. He
doesnt just produce great basketball players, he
also produces great men. Despite our fun loving
and incredibly ornery nature, several times,
stories were relayed to us of opposing fans
and coaches admiring our exceptional behavior
at tournaments and games. Numerous times,
while other teams lost their cool, we remained
stoic and continued on our business. This was
because of Coach. Discipline will always beat
emotion, he would often say. As I have ventured further into independence, I have found
this to ring true in every part of life. There were
slip ups along the way, no doubt, but regardless
of the following butt chewing each incident
became a learning experience.
I would like to share a few lessons that Coach
always held to be sacred, lessons that I wish
more individuals would remember. First, in the
classroom or on the court, accountability drives
everything. As soon as one accepts this fact,
they can improve and correct the issue, whether
it was a poor choice in action or words. It is also
a matter of responsibility, to your team and
yourself. On numerous occasions Coach accepted responsibility and held himself accountable
for poor game decisions and even entire losses.
This is huge for an athlete to witness someone
that is usually right about the game admit
they were wrong. Own the words, own the mistake, and make it right. Second, Coach always
encouraged us to air any dirty laundry; privately, and in the right company, but you could

CHHS girls edge AC 34-33

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – The Central Heights
girls came out barely on the top
side of a defensive battle last
week against Anderson County
by a score of 34-33.
The Vikings led 17-11 at the
half but AC clamped down to
hold Central Heights to a mere
6 points in the third period on
their way to a comeback that
stayed just out of reach even
with a 13 point final period.
Viking head coach Scott Lane
said it came down to every performance from every player.
We did a great job of hitting free throws late, especially Brianna Erhart, who did a
great job of driving the lane
and getting easy buckets or getting to the line where she went
11/19, he said. Stegner and
Schaefer were solid tonight and
had to play a lot of minutes
with Meyer and Hayward fouling out in the 4th.
Erhart was the scoring
muscle for the Vikings with 19
points. Kenzie Hayward, Sydney
Meyer and Sam Stegner had 4
each and Reagan Markley had
2.
Jaime Mersman hit 16 for the
Bulldogs followed by Adams

AC banked 40 points in the

to clamp down on his scoring

incident where a student told
another student he had a can
of hairspray and a lighter,
and threatened to set another
student on fire. Beckmon said
problems continue on at least
one bus route.
Superintendent and high
school principal Jerry Turner
said the incident had resulted
in a three-day suspension to
the student, one of the harshest
penalties available under the
districts policy for bus discipline.
I think when you have a
weapon on the bus and threaten
to use it, that calls for more
in this day and age, Nikki
Beckmon said.
Transportation
director Brent Smith met with the
board to discuss the problems,
which Beckmon said have been
ongoing. The latest incident is
only one example of problems
caused by uruly high school
students, Beckmon said.
I keep asking myself, how
did we let it go on to the point
our drivers cant even function
on the bus. Its mind boggling,
Beckmon said.
Smith said drivers do their
best to establish order on the
bus, but its not an easy job.
Drivers have used assigned
seats for students and will fill
out a discipline slip when they
catch students causing problems. But drivers must focus
on the road, so its not easy to
catch students in the act, Smith
said. The situation is further
complicated because there is

such a wide range of students
– kindergarten through 12th
grade – and some bus routes
run an hour or slightly longer.
Despite the apparently ongoing
problems, Turner said he has
received only one or two writeups from bus drivers.
Board members reviewed the
districts bus policy, which was
last updated in 1997, and allows
for up to five disciplinary writeups before punishment such as
suspension. Some parents suggested they consider a thorough
review of the policy because
of the changes in schools and
society since 1997. Things like
school shootings werent a widespread fear when the policy was
written; the Columbine High
School shootings, for example,
occurred in 1999. Other parents
said the district has policies
against weapons and bullying,
which are more current but
contradict the bus policy.

members against making a
policy that is too rigid, and said

In the end, board members
asked Smith to make sure drivers were more aggressive in
writing up students who cause
problems on the bus. If that
means drivers must pull over
and stop the bus mid-route to
take care of a problem, they
should be encouraged to do so,
board president Tadd Goodell
said.
It doesnt matter what policy
we have if were not getting the
documentation, Goodell said.
If youre cracking down, its
going to require stopping the
bus and your kids may be later
getting home. Some impact is
going to hit you (parents).

The cast of Love Thy Neighbor practice a scene during a dress rehearsal. The Chamber Players will
perform the play, written by member Gary Ray Stapp and first performed in 2003. Performanes will be
Feb. 15-17 and 22-24, and March 1-2.
Chamber Players bring back an original
production with Love Thy Neighbor
Now celebrating the 10th year
anniversary of the Chamber
Players Community Theatre
world premier of an original
play and the debut of playwright Gary Ray Stapp, Love
Thy Neighbor opens again in
Garnett at the Thelma Moore
Community Playhouse.
The story of the play centers around homeowner, Leona
Crump, played by Charlotte Lutz
who is reprising her role from
the original production. Leona,
armed with a sharply judgmental attitude and a pair of binoculars, is consumed with anxiety
as she wonders what type of
people have moved in across
the street. Will her new neighbors be California Beatniks? Or
paroled drug-pushers? Or more
frightening yet, people with
children?! Her worst fears are
realized when an odd-ball hillfolk family take up residence
in her neighborhood and she
quickly realizes that neither
God, nor her favorite telephone
psychic have prepared her for
the series of showdowns set to
take place in her living room.
Gafina
Hambefferschmidt,
played again by Allison Russell,
is an obnoxious picture-snapping woman who teams up with
her maw, an old hillbetty crone
played by Denise Scheibmeir,
and her lustful boyfriend
Turner, played again by Ken
Amaya, and together they turn
Leonas peaceful, respectful,
and enviable neighborhood
upside down. But ultimately,
its a flock of pink flamingos
that drive her over the edge and
lands her in the local jail. Kevin
Lewis and Carla Weaver reprise
their original neighborly roles
as Paul and Judy, and rounding out the remaining cast are
CPCT alums Speed Elsasser,
Alvin Peters, Linda Umbarger,
and Matt Wilper. In addition,
Owen Lutz, makes his debut on
the CPCT stage as the paperboy,
joining his mother and grandmother for an unprecedented
three-generation cast in this
current production of Love
Thy Neighbor.
Ten years ago, Garnetts
Chamber Players Community
Theatre set a milestone for the
organization by performing the
debut production of an original
play written by one of its own
members. At that time, the local
theatre troupe had logged an 11
year history of producing plays
from a variety of nationally
popular play publishing companies. But when theatre member
Gary Stapp pitched a play titled
Love Thy Neighbor, surreptitiously penned by an author
called SueAnn Raymondson,
others in the acting troupe
liked the script, laughing outloud at its humor and story, and
believed it to be a good fit for
the group, prompting one individual to question what publishing company was licensing
the play. At that point, Stapp
made a confession that surprised those who had gathered
to read the script: It was he who
was, in fact, the actual author
of the play, noting that he had
concocted the pseudonym by
using the names of his parents,
Sue and Raymond.
Initially Stapp had wanted to
get some measure of an unbiased opinion of his play, and
so had been reluctant to immediately identify himself as the
author out of concern that his
theatre friends would say that
the CPCT should do his play
just because it was written by
him. And to some degree, that
was exactly how it unfolded.
But Stapp, who was a 1991
founding member of the organization, cautioned the others
that he was unknown, unproven, and unproduced. The group
unanimously chose to accept
the risk.
Opening night for the first
ever performance of Love Thy
Neighbor was on February
20th, 2003. Stapp recalls being
extremely nervous, worried
that the audience might not
be appreciative of his sense
of humor. But within the first
several minutes of the show,
laughter began to rise from the
audience and when the cast
took their bow at curtain call,
Stapp was shocked to discover applause from an audience
that was on their feet expressing their enjoyment of the play
with a standing ovation. Word
of mouth, subsequently promoted ticket sales, eventually
selling out the remaining six
performances and prompting
an unprecedented encore of
two additional shows on a third
weekend, and ultimately breaking the previous CPCT attendance record by an additional
50%. And as they say, the rest is
history.
Following the 2003 production, friends encouraged Stapp
to submit his play to a publisher and he chose Eldridge
Publishing Company, a play
publishing house headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida,
of which the group had previously licensed several popular
productions held on the CPCT
stage. Advised by the publishers website that replies would
generally take 10 weeks, Stapp
received a phone call 15 days
later from Eldridge publisher
Nancy Vorhis with an offer to
publish Love Thy Neighbor as
written, and, if he were willing
to make a few minor changes to
appeal to the high school market, Eldridge wanted to publish
the play as a separate version
under the title of Birds of a
Feather. Stapp gladly accepted both offers, and legitimately
became a published playwright.
Ten years later, Stapp has a
resume of five other full-length
comedies debuted in Garnett
by CPCT, one full-length comedy debuted by the Anderson
County High School Drama
Club, and three short plays, all
of which are currently licensed
by various publishing houses,
including Heuer Publishing,
which acts as his agent for four
of his full-length comedies. His
newest playwriting endeavor
titled Romey Odel & Julietta
May, No It Aint Shakespeare
is scheduled for its debut production in April by the ACHS
Drama Club.
Stapps works continue to
grow in popularity and have
since been produced by theatre
groups across the United States,
in Canada, as well as in Europe,
where most recently his play
The Trouble With Cats premiered in Italy. But for Stapp,
theres no place like home. The
greatest satisfaction with his
playwriting comes from sharing
his stories with the local community and doing so with the
help of a very talented CPCT
pool of actors and actresses,
many of whom he considers to
be like family.
The dinner theatres performance dates are February 15,
16, 17, 21, 22, 23, 24, & March
1 & 2. Dinner play tickets are
$22 for Adults and $17 for students. Advance reservations
are required. For more ticket
information, call 785-448-1683,

A pre-show reception for opening night only will be held at the

Jason and Beth Moss opened
Star Video and Gaming, 425 S.
Oak St., Garnett, last week.
The store features movie and
video game rentals and sales.
The business is family
owned and operated, and Jason
Moss said they decided to buy
the business because his family is passionate about movies
and video games.
We missed Star Video ourselves after it closed, and we
dont like to see abandoned
buildings downtown, he said.
We wanted to bring back the
small-town vibe, where you
can go into a store and look
around at the videos, instead
of renting from a machine or
online.
The store features an
expanded video game section
with XBox 360 and Playstation 3
games. Eventually, the Mosses
hope to offer a gaming station
and video game tournaments.
A tanning bed soon will be
available, with a bed that formerly was operated at Janon
Gordons business.
The Mosses have four children: Khristian, Noah, Chloe
and Emma.

Breakfast, meal of the day
Do you realize breakfasts
have not always consisted of
orange juice, toast, donuts,
pancakes, ham and eggs, and
coffee? In Colonial days, the
morning meal used to be meat,
fish or cheese and bread. Later,
the menu was expanded to
include fried potatoes, Johnny
cake, sausage, oatmeal or rye
hash rolls, buttermilk biscuits,
plain or cider apple sauce, and
twisted molasses donuts, with
honey and maple syrup in place
of sugar for the coffee.
Items served for the morning meal down South in the
1800s were gravy toast, baked
sweet potato, banana toast, rice
with lentil dressing, and roasted almonds. Breakfast used to
take up to one and a half hours,
so great was the variety of
food served. A Virginia breakfast was described as including wheaten rolls, apple bread,
honey, hominy and herring.
Mince pie, eaten for dinner,
rather than breakfast, often
contained bear meat. Another
delicacy was dandelion greens

for local archeology information.
prepared the way turnip greens
are today, with ham hock and
sowbelly, served in vinegar and
butter.
A good Quaker dinner might
consist of ducks, ham, chickens, beef, pig, tarts, cream,
custards, jellies, trifles, fruit,
raisins, almonds, pears and
parmesan cheese, plus a wide
assortment of beverages.
At a Christmas dinner in
Philadelphia some years later,
the menu included roast beef,
veal, turkey, ducks, fowls,
hams, puddings, jellies, oranges, apples, nuts, almonds, figs,
raisins and various wines and
punches.
Then there was the traditional Thanksgiving meal in old
New England, which included
dried cherries, haunch of venison, chine of roast pork, roast
turkey, roast goose, pigeon
patties, an abundance of good
vegetables, Indian pudding, celery, mince pie, pumpkin pie,
apple tarts, suet pudding, dried
plumbs, preserved ginger, nuts
and oranges.
In very early days, drinking
water was served at the table
in a bucket with a gourd dipper,
and all courses were put on the
table at once. In some families,
everyone ate out of one dish.
Even in Queen Victorias time,
it was customary to place a
whole loaf of bread on the table
with a knife so the loaf could be
sliced as needed.
In todays modern busy
world, it seems almost impossible to gather the entire family
together for a meal, let alone a
big feast.
1993: Snow storm hits area
Feb. 19, 2003
Garnett city commissioners agreed this week to pursue a plan that would place
a lighted safety crossing at
the intersection of Park Road
and the Prairie Spirit Trail,
meanwhile raising the 20 mph
speed limit on a section of Park
Road, which was lowered out
of concerns for foot traffic in
that area. Construction of the
crossing with a lighted signal
will cost about $6,000 and will
hold traffic at the intersection
where pedestrians and bikers
cross the heavily-traveled road
while using the rail trail.
What some people call the
chemically taste and smell
of Garnetts municipal system water became an issue
at Garnetts city commission
meeting Tuesday, with a complaint from an elderly woman
who said fumes from the water
burned her eyes and nose. City
staff has tested the womans
water, and it checked out fine
in terms of dangerous contaminants, but other factors could
affect the taste and smell of the
water.

Divers and volunteers combined efforts Saturday four
miles northeast of Westphalia
to search the Pottawatomie
Creek for a 13-month old
child missing since Feb. 13,
but searchers failed to find
any more clues concerning
the whereabouts of the child.
She was in a compact pickup
driven by her mother that was
swept into the creek Sunday
night after stalling on a lowwater bridge that was flooded
by two to four feet of water.
The mother escaped from the
pickup when it overturned in
the creek, but was unable to
rescue her daughter.

Hospital was approved by

Sheriff Decker returned last
evening from his search for an
insane man who was reported
roaming about the country,
horseback, with a little boy,
but he failed to find him. He
did learn that the man and boy
spent a night at a home near
Colony and then a night in the
Cherry Mound neighborhood.
Yesterday they were seen going
north and later in the vicinity
of Homewood. The little boy
is the mans son. The man had
been in the insane asylum in
Oklahoma and was discharged
several months ago. He has a
brother and cousin living near
Colony and came to that neighborhood about five months ago.
Last Sunday, he and the boy
started from his cousins presumably going to his brothers
, but they did not go there.

A Brief History of the National FFA Organization
The passage of the SmithHughes Vocational Education
Act in 1917 not only provided
federal funds to states for high
school courses in vocational
education (agriculture, family
and consumer sciences, and
trades and industries) but
it also led to the idea for an
organization that is known
today as the National FFA
Organization.
In the early 1920s, just a few
years after the Smith-Hughes
Act was enacted, Virginia
formed a Future Farmers of
Virginia club for boys in agriculture classes. Other states
soon followed Virginias lead
and formed their own Future
Farmers organizations. The
next logical next step was to
create a national organization
to bring together all of the
state organizations.
In 1928, a group of vocational agriculture students
were in Kansas City, Mo., for
the third annual National
Congress
of
Vocational
Agriculture Students, which
was held during the American
Royal Livestock and Horse
Show. On Nov. 20, 33 of those
students from 18 states met at
the Baltimore Hotel in Kansas
City and formed the Future
Farmers of America (FFA).
FFA was for young men
who were studying vocational agriculture in public secondary schools, and the new
organization was designed to
develop agricultural leadership, character, thrift, scholarship, cooperation, citizenship
and patriotism.
The organization was structured on three levels local,
state and national with students starting their FFA experience by joining a local chap-
ter at their school, where the
agriculture teacher serves as
the chapter advisor. As part of
the larger program that is now
called agricultural education,
FFA members are encouraged
to participate in all three components of the program: (1)
classroom/laboratory work
(through enrollment in agriculture classes); (2) membership in FFA; and (3) hands-on
work experience through the
supervised agricultural experience (SAE) program.
Each FFA chapter develops

of activities, and all members
share in planning the program
and participate in its execution. Through their participation, members learn how to
take part in meetings, follow
parliamentary
procedure,
speak in public and cooperate
with their fellow students.
Student officers are elected on each level to lead the
organizations activities, and
FFA members receive recognition for their achievements
through competition and
award programs. The annual
national convention offers
FFA members an opportunity
to come together from across
the country and celebrate
their accomplishments over
the past year.
By 1935, FFA membership
had topped 100,000 with more
than 3,900 chapters in 47 states,
Hawaii and Puerto Rico. That
same year, the New Farmers
of America was established to
provide leadership opportunities to African-American students enrolled in vocational
education classes.
Land was purchased in
Alexandria, Va., for the
National FFA Headquarters in
1939, and in 1944, the National
FFA Foundation was created
to raise funds from business
and industry to help support
the many new programs being
developed for the growing FFA
membership. In 1950, Public
Law 740 was passed by the
U.S. Congress, granting FFA
a federal charter and requiring that a U.S. Department of
Education staff member be
the national FFA advisor.
FFA membership took a leap
in 1965 when 58,000 members of
the New Farmers of America
merged with the Future
Farmers of America. This followed an act of Congress that
prohibited segregation in public schools. Four years later,
delegates at the 1969 National
FFA Convention voted to allow
women to be members of the
FFA.
In 1976, Alaska became the
50th state to obtain a state
charter. An all-time membership high was recorded in
1977, with 509,735 members in
8,148 chapters in all 50 states,
Puerto Rico and the Virgin
Islands.
By the 1980s, the Future

Farmers of America had
become more than an organization for rural farm students. In 1988, the delegates
at the 61st National FFA
Convention voted to change
the organizations official
name from Future Farmers of
America to the National FFA
Organization. This change was
made to recognize that FFA is
not only for those interested in
farming, but it is also for those
with more diverse interests in
the industry of agriculture,
encompassing science, business and technology in addition to production farming.
The late 1990s marked a period of location changes for the
National FFA Organization.
The National FFA Center was
moved from Alexandria, Va.,
to Indianapolis, Ind., where a
new building was dedicated on
July 20, 1998. And after 70 years
in the same city, the national
FFA convention was held for
the last time in Kansas City,
Mo., in 1998. The 72nd National
FFA Convention in 1999 moved
to Louisville, Ky., where it
remained for seven years; in
2006, the national FFA convention moved to Indianapolis.
Attendance at the national
convention reached an all-time
high in 2008 when 54,731 FFA
members, advisors and supporters came to Indianapolis
for the 81st National FFA
Convention.
Over the years, FFA has shown
the value it places on service to
country and community. This
was never more evident than
in 2005. Following Hurricane
Katrina, the National FFA
Organization raised more than
$835,000 through their Seeds
of Hope campaign to help FFA
members, chapters and agri-
5B
cultural education facilities
affected by the hurricane.
Today, the National FFA
Organization is a premier
youth leadership organization
with 507,753 members in 7,439
chapters in all 50 states, Puerto
Rico and the Virgin Islands.
The FFA mission is to make
a positive difference in the
lives of students by developing their potential for premier
leadership, personal growth
and career success through
agricultural education.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, February 19, 2013
Races coming to Prairie Spirit Trail
The first of its kind in northeast Kansas,
the inaugural Prairie Spirit 100-mile and
50-mile ultra run is set to test the mettle of
the nations toughest – and perhaps craziest
– runners on March 23.
More than 115 runners from 20 different
states will attempt to best the Prairie Spirit
Trail, which spans from Ottawa to Iola.
A former railway line, the Prairie Spirit
Trail dips through various Kansas towns
– including Ottawa, Princeton, Richmond,
Garnett and Iola – and weaves through
three counties. Made largely of crushed
limestone, the trail is joy for runners and
will feature manned and unmanned aid
stations approximately every five miles.
As soon as I heard about the plans to
extend the trail all the way to Iola a few
years ago, I knew the trail would be per-
fect, Eric Steele, an 18-year ultra runner
and director of Epic Ultras, said. This will
be one of the most family-friendly ultra
runs youll ever experience and the Don
Woodward Center in Ottawa is a perfect
finish line for family or friends. And for
runners, the trail is a dream – a nice, wide
path and generally a pretty forgiving surface. It should be great for the runners.
Founder of Epic Ultras, Steele, has competed in more than 50 ultra races, including the 135-mile Badwater Ultramarathon
from Death Valley to Mount Whitney.
Steele, a native of Wichita, also organizes
the FlatRock 50/25k Ultra Trail Run near
Independence, Kan., which was the first
organized ultra trail run in Kansas.
After successfully organizing more than
25 ultras, Steele encounters a frequent, yet
reasonable question.
What makes ultra runners a special
breed of crazy? Steele, 47, said. Well, our
sport is more than just running. If youre
a seasoned ultra runner, you know its all
about the way ultra running makes you
feel – how it takes you, in a sense, from one
reality into another.
100-mile runners, who will return to
Ottawa after reaching Iola, must complete
the trail within 30 hours to finish. 50-mile
runners will have 28 hours to run south
from Garnett toward Iola before heading
north to the finish line in Ottawa. Both
races finish line is located at the Don
Woodward Activity Center, 517 E. Third St.,
Ottawa, Kan. All finishers of the Prairie
Spirit races earn a custom, date-specific
belt buckle.

Weekly
Devotional
by David Bilderback
In Genesis 1:26 we read,
then God said, Let us make
man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over
the fish of the sea and the
birds of the air, over all the
livestock, over all the earth
and over all the creatures that
move along the ground.
God the creator and sustainer of the universe has provided human kind with a revelation of himself through the
natural world and through his
Son Jesus Christ. The greatest revelation of God comes
through the Bible where the
existence of God and the
nature of God are revealed in
and through Jesus Christ. In
John 14:9 Jesus tells Philip,
He that has seen me, has seen
the Father. Although the
full revelation of God was in
Jesus Christ the human mind
cannot fully understand God.
Mans mind is finite while God
is infinite. This is why an
intellectual understanding of
God is not possible.
Perhaps the best way to
describe God is by his natural
attributes. God is Spirit he
has no physical or measurable
form. God is therefore invisible to us. He became visible in
human form in the person of
Jesus Christ but Gods essence
is invisible.
God is changeless. It is not
possible for God to change otherwise he would not remain
perfect. What God has said
and what we know of him can
be trusted.
God is all powerful. He created and sustains all things.
He never experiences the
weakness you and I feel.
God is all knowing, he
possesses all knowledge.
He knows the thoughts and
motives of every heart.
God is everywhere, God is
present everywhere at every
point in space and every
moment in time. God is eter-
nal. Past, present and future
are known equally by God.
God has a second group
of moral attributes. God is
Holy, God is righteous, God
is love, truth and wisdom.
Even though the Bible does
not exactly indicate what
the image of God in man is I
believe it is within this group
of moral attributes that we
can most clearly resemble
God.
The Apostle Paul sums up
where we are and where we
will be when we see God as follows: Now we see but a poor
reflection as in a mirror, then
we shall see face to face. Now I
know in part; then I shall know
fully even as I am known.
(1 st Corinthians 13:12) God
knows you and I better than
we know ourselves. The question that remains is how well
do we know God?

Notice of real estate market

Results of the Market Study Analysis for
Anderson County
For the Appraisal Year 2013
January 1, 2013
Pursuant to L. 1991, ch 279
A study of the real estate market in Anderson
County indicated that approximately 30 percent
of the non-agricultural real properties in the
county will trend upward in market value from
2012 to 2013. The average increase was less
than two percent. Thirty-five percent of the
parcels will trend downward. The average
decrease in value will be less than two percent.
The remaining 35 percent of the parcels will see
no change in value. Values on specific properties change because of corrections of descrip-
tive information based on field visits by the
appraisers office or from calibration of values
based on comparable sales of similar properties
in the county.
In accordance with the provisions in K.S.A.
79-1476, the Property Valuation Department
(PVD), Kansas Department of Revenue is
required annually to furnish each county the
results of its study relating to changes, if any,
to the use value of agricultural land. Changes
can and do occur as a result of several factors
including cropping practices, commodity prices
and production costs. Based on the values per
acre provided by PVD the value of cropland in
Anderson County will increase between 15%
to 20% depending on the soil type. Both
pastureland and tame grass values remained
basically unchanged. Overall 60 percent of the
agricultural parcels will see value increases from
2012 to 2013 while 40 percent will either decline
or stay the same.

The months countywide

was held in Garnett Tuesday,
Feb. 12. A Storm Spotter training has been set for Feb. 19
at the Garnett Community
building. It begins at 7 p.m. and
is open to the public. Smoke
detectors are now available to

needs to be filled in at the Law

Lightning has been the cause of
two fires, a butane tank whose
line ran to a house, which was
empty except two dogs. They
were rescued. Another lightning strike took the Welda
Diner building.
Can a bolt of lightning come
out of a clear sky? Answered
by the director of the Kansas
Weather Data Library was yes,
bolt from the blue is often used
to indicate surprise. Sadly
this is true, lightning can travel
more than 25 miles from the
thunderstorm itself.
There have been numerous
cases of victims being surprised by lightning from a clear
sky. That is why it is important
to take cover when thunderstorms are in the vicinity – even
if the rain has not arrived. It is
recommended to wait about 3
min. after a storm has passed
to resume outdoor activities.
Information about Kansass
weather is available on the
Weather Data Library website:

the experience. The Lions next

join them, where they will have
a joint soup supper.
