Autopsy confirms fatal
head injury from wreck
Methamphetamine likely
impaired mans judgment
at time of mysterious wreck
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GREELEY An autopsy confirmed
that a man who died under mysterious circumstances in October likely received a fatal head injury in a
motorcycle accident, and was high on
methamphetamines that altered his
judgment and behavior.
Matthew Eugene Frey, age 50,
died Oct. 14, 2016, at a Kansas Cityarea hospital after what appeared
to be a motorcycle wreck at 2150
and Utah roads, a few miles south
of Greeley, according to a report
from the Anderson County Sheriffs
Department. The time of the accident
wasnt known, but it was reported at
9:27 p.m. Oct. 14.
After the wreck, Frey was disoriented and injured, and taken by
friends from the scene to his home,
Sheriff Vernon Valentine said previously. He refused to cooperate or talk
with law enforcement officers, which
complicated the investigation. It was
some time before investigators were
able to determine Frey was injured in
a motorcycle wreck.
Frey was taken to Anderson County
Hospital and transferred to a hospital
in the Kansas City area, where he
died. Investigators later found the site
of the wreck and evidence indicated Frey likely overcompensated on a
curve in the roadway and the motorcycle rolled off the road, Valentine
said at the time.
Frey apparently suffered a fatal
head injury, and had multiple abrasions, bruises and cuts to his scalp,
according to the autopsy. The cause of
death was listed as subdural and subarachnoid hemorrhage, or bleeding
in and around the brain. The autopsy
found no other significant injury.
The autopsy also found Frey had
a toxic level of methamphetamine in
his system to the level where judgment and behavior are altered.
He was an organ donor; his liver
and kidneys were donated.
The autopsy was performed Oct. 17,
2016, and entered as a district court
record Feb. 13, 2017; it typically takes
several weeks between the autopsy
and the court filing.
New sponsor, money
sought for fireworks show
Chamber quits LibertyFest
as city leaders seek new
group to host fireworks show
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Tourism leaders want
to dangle money to encourage a local
civic group to step up to take over an
annual July 4 fireworks show. They
just dont yet know how much money
it might take.
The annual LibertyFest fireworks
display event has been a losing financial project for the Garnett Area
Chamber of Commerce for years.
Recently, the Chamber announced it
would not serve as the host organization for a 2017 event.
That decision means there will not
be a LibertyFest event unless another
group steps up to take over.
Tourism leaders last week asked
City of Garnett commissioners if they
are willing to offer financial support
for the event, providing they can find
a group willing to take over. They
pointed to events like the carnival at
the Anderson County Fair, for which
the city has pledged $2,500 annually
in recent years. The money comes in
the form of a grant, using transient
guest tax funds that come from an
additional tax on people who rent
rooms at local hotels, motels and bed
and breakfast facilities.
The city in the past has given the
Chamber $1,500 to make up the difSEE FIREWORKS ON PAGE 3A

City hopes to save money on $14M water plant
Bonds, grants could
help city pay for water
plant, spillway repair
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – A new water plant
for the City of Garnett could
cost as much as $14 million,
but city leaders hope they can
find grants or other financing
methods to lower the cost. Its
also possible the city could
issue bonds to cover both the
water plant and repairs to the
spillway for the dam at Lake
Garnett.
Garnett City Manager Joyce
Martin gave commissioners
an update on various infrastruture projects during their
regular meeting Tuesday, Feb.
14. Her report included cost
estimates for the water plant
– roughly $14 million – and
repairs to the dam spillway another $157,200. Both are large
projects that likely will fall to
the next city manager after
Martin retires this year.
City staff have worked more
than a year on plans to replace
the aging water plant at Crystal
Lake in the southern part of the
city. Preliminary plans call for
a new plant that would be built
just west of the current site,
taking part of the land used for
a park at the lake.
But the city first will seek
grants. The USDA is one
potential source of grants
for such a project. Another
option is to seek a Community
Development Block Grant, a
state-administered program
through the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban
Development.
Even if the city successfully
obtains such a grant, its likely
some costs will remain. The
city could increase its water
rates for customers. It also
could seek general obligation
bonds to pay the costs of the
project.
Martin also presented an
engineers estimate to repair
the spillway outlet area at the
Lake Garnett dam. She said it

Groups get creative for money to promote events
Tourism leaders say
efforts to encourage

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – An effort to encourage civic groups to think outside the box when promoting
their events is starting to pay
off – literally.
The
Garnett
City
Commission and its tourism
advisory board last week
agreed to pay a total of $7,404.60
to promote five events organized by three groups this year.
Three of those events were
credited for taking an innovative approach to their marketing efforts.
The city, through its tourism
board, offers transient guest
tax funds to help groups pay
for advertising and marketing
material to promote events.
Transient guest tax funds come
from a special tax assessed to
people who use local motels,
hotels and bed and breakfast
facilities.
In recent years, the city has
increased that tax in order
to pay for more projects that
promote tourism. The tourism
board, in response, has challenged groups to get creative
with their proposals.
Last year, the tourism board
recommended commission-
ers deny a request from the
Garnett BPW for its annual
Womens Fair because of poor
attendance. Tom Emerson, a
member of the tourism board,
said when the board voted
against the request last year,
they also suggested some ideas
for the BPW to better promote
its event and increase attendance.
We want to allow for some

sort of growth or learning to
occur, instead of just saying
no, Emerson said.
BPW members took those
suggestions to heart when they
applied for $646.35 to help with
advertising this year, and the
request was approved.
Similar improvements also
were made to another BPW
application, this time for
the groups annual Holiday
Boutique. The groups request
this year was nearly double
what it received in transient
guest tax funds for last years
event, but members wanted to
start advertising earlier so people could better plan for holiday shopping at the boutique.
The city approved $500.50 for
this years event, compared to
the $264.50 the group received
in 2016.
Another event – the Walker
2×4
AD
Art Juried Art Exhibition
– received $1,666 in transient
guest tax funds for the first
time this year, even though
this will be the third year for
the art show. The Walker Art
Committee, which sponsors the
show, plans to advertise the
event in a Lawrence newspaper and with flyers to attract
Lawrences growing art community.
Were really excited about
the impact of these advertisements beyond the Walker art
show, Emerson said.
Other events that received
transient guest tax money
included the Chamber Players,
which received $3,144 to promote their dinner theater
events; and the BPW Square
Fair, a longtime and popular craft show in May, which
received $1,447.75.

ference between the costs of
the fireworks show and income
collected from donations at the
gate and other sources. Last
year, the show cost about
$5,000. The citys contribution
allowed the Chamber to break
even last year.
City commissioners said
they were willing to help, but
stopped short of pledging a specific dollar figure. Instead, they
directed the tourism committee to develop a more detailed
plan and get back to them.
The annual local fireworks
display was discontinued in
1972 until it was revived in 1988
by the Garnett Jaycees. The
Chamber took over the event
when the Jaycees organization
folded in the late 1990s due to
fading membership.
Susan Wettstein, an administrative assistant for the
city who is in charge of tourism, said she was seeking
groups willing to take on the
LibertyFest event and wanted
to be able to let them know up
front if the city was willing to
help. She said its possible a
group could raise more money
for the event if it were tied to a
charitible cause, but it might
be difficult to find a group willing to take on the costs and liability associated with firework
shows.
Commissioner Greg Gwin
said he would support using
transient guest tax funds to
help pay for the event.
Its a good event that brings
a lot of people, Gwin said. Its
a shame more people dont
pony up to cover costs.
Tom Emerson, a member of
the tourism advisory board,
said its important to plan for
the event now. The tourism
committee accepts requests to
use transient guest tax funds,
and sends recommendations
to commissioners. In recent
years, the city has increased
the percentage of transient
guest tax collections in hopes
of spurring new tourism projects.
We would not over-commit beyond the funds we have
available, Emerson said. But
there is a consideration that if a
big disbursement event comes
in the middle of the year – and
we know from experience we
will have some other requests
later – that will be the first time
we have to start making decisions based on availability of
funds.
Mayor Gordon Blackie
asked Wettstein and Emerson
to continue discussing the matter in toursim meetings and
return when they have a more
specific plan.

might be better to wait on such
repairs until the new city manager was in place, and because
it might be more cost effective to roll those expenses into
another project like the water
plant.
Martin suggested the city
work toward paying off some
of its existing utility bonds in
order to reduce its water fund
debt and save money that could
be put toward the new projects. By paying off its utility
bonds, the city will save money
on interest payments. Such a
move also would reduce the
citys debt, which makes the
city a more appealing prospect
when shopping for bonds.
Commissioner Greg Gwin
encouraged Martin to work
toward paying off existing debt.
Id like to see us get that all
cleaned up and make it look
better.
Ill try to get whatever funding I can, Martin told commissioners.

OPINION
FrankenTrump brings
justice to his makers
If you think youve detected a hint of shame in
the ongoing salvos of attack stories leveled by the
network news at President Donald Trump since his
election, youre definitely on to something.
The rapidly fading Chuck Todd-Chris MatthewsRachel Maddow club at CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC
and the New York Times which used to rule the
news industry in this country, before Facebook and
Twitter, universally despise Trump. But theres a
dose of self-loathing mixed in with all the animosity.
Part of the angst were seeing displayed by the mainstream media is their own guilt they hate Trump,
in part, because they know they helped make him.
The story of their shame is Frankenstein-esque:
their creation has now done what no one thought
he could he won and now hes loose on the
countryside causing havoc, appointing conservative Supreme Court Justices, giving the green light
to the Keystone and Dakota Pipelines, getting tough
on illegal immigration and a host of other executive
order terrors unleashed upon the gentle citizenry.
This carnage is in no small part because of the
unrelenting man-bites-dog mantra the news networks have operated under for decades combined
with sensationalism and driven by leftist culture.
Carefully monitoring the Republican candidates
early on for the slightest cro-magnon conservative
comment upon which they could be politically
crucified, the media was there at Trumps genesis.
He was the two-headed chicken they couldnt stop
staring at.
Remember the GOP candidate debates through
the primary season? There must have been 500
Republicans who launched campaigns to become
the partys nominee, and one-by-one their stars
were engulfed by the media supernova of Donald
Trump. Everything he said and did upstaged his
last. He was Ozzy Osbourne on stage with Ozzy &
Harriet, and the press club was terrified they might
miss him biting the head off a bat.
The complaint, among those Republican candidates, was that he sucked all the air out of the
room? In other words, Trumps antics got all the
attention and no one elses ideas or plans got any
airplay in the media the rest of them never had a
chance. To give the media too much credit in saying
they manipulated a Trump nomination to ensure a
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
Hillary Clinton win may be going too far but they
certainly had their hand on the oxygen valve the
whole time.
From the robbed graves of those forgotten
Republican primary contenders, the media club has
brought forth FrankenTrump and true to the Mary
Shelley novels moral, mainstream media must ultimately pay for its sin.
Their fitfulness wont hide the shame. Try though
they might to humiliate him with inauguration
size comparisons, attacks on his 10 year-old son,
made-up stories about Russian contacts during his
campaign, dismal poll-shaming conducted no doubt
by the same pollsters who once forecast him losing
to Clinton by double digits he now walks through
flames to stalk them.
As with Shelleys Dr. Victor Frankenstein, things
will be set right. Part of that was on display at the
recent press conference in which Trump spent 77
minutes in counterattack mode, calling out the
mainstream media as liars and character assassins
and declaring it was they, not he, who was the
enemy of the people.
Over the weekend the media was quick to wrap
itself in familiar Free Press martyrdom and hum
the Star Spangled Banner without even taking a
knee, straining so hard for a champion they even
fell to Sen. John McCain to defend the vital roll of a

I want to know why our kids have to eat crappy

Trump tweet exposes Judiciary
As you might have heard, Donald Trump
tweeted at a judge.
The commentariat shuddered at the effrontery of it, and some worried that the foundations of the separation of powers had been
shaken. Trumps slam of Judge James Robart
was undeniably crude and ill-considered, but
it wasnt a threat to our republic.
In fact, it is a symptom of our distorted and
overly sanctified view of the judiciary that a
criticism of a judge with a lifetime appointment is greeted with such pearl-clutching.
It is entirely appropriate that the political
branches have their own view of the law and
the Constitution, and robustly contest — and
even deny the legitimacy of — court decisions
that they consider erroneous.
President Trump will have to go considerably further to come close to Andrew Jackson
supposedly saying of a Supreme Court decision protecting the Cherokee Indians in
Georgia, John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it. Or to match
the wars waged on uncongenial Supreme
Court decisions by Franklin D. Roosevelt and
Abraham Lincoln.
Lincolns opposition to the Dred Scott decision redounds to his great credit. To say that
Republicans werent deferential to the ruling is an understatement for the ages. They
alleged a vast conspiracy of Chief Justice
Roger Taney and top Democrats to commit
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
offenses comparable to the worst villainies of
recorded history, in the words of one historian.
Everyone would soon enough recognize
Dred Scott as a disgrace. At the time, though,
supporters of the decision considered it a
means to peacefully settle a question tearing the country apart. For his part, Stephen
Douglas made an argument that was simple
and entirely familiar today: Shut up, the
Supreme Court justices have spoken.
Lincoln allowed that Dred Scott applied to
the particular parties to the case; he refused,
though, to accept it as a political rule.
This wasnt Lincoln venting during an idle
moment in his bathrobe. He devoted a portion
of his first inaugural to developing his argument, and he governed as if the Dred Scott
decision didnt exist.
Its an odd disconnect that Lincoln is justly
considered perhaps the greatest statesman in
American history, yet his rejection of judicial
supremacy that was so central to his view of
our system is roundly ignored.
It is certainly true that presidents defying
the court willy-nilly would be a formula for
chaos. But you see a Lincolnian political
resistance to the court in, for instance, the
pro-life movement that wont rest until Roe
v. Wade is overturned. The determined opposition to Citizens United is another example,
from the left.
The fundamental point is that it is not just
the executive or Congress that can abuse its
power and overstep its bounds. The courts
can, too, and no one is obligated to meekly
accept their decisions.
If the courts in the end throw out the order,
despite the black-and-white letter of the law
giving him the authority to block aliens in the
interest of national security, it will be a usurpatory act. In that scenario, the courts will
have done more violence to our constitutional
system than a foolish Trump tweet ever could.

Kansas tax hike: This is going to hurt
With no consideration in committee and
after only eighty minutes of discussion the
Senate passed a bill to raise taxes on virtually every Kansan.
The chair of the Senate Tax Committee
could not answer my questions because she
had just received the bill and had not even
introduced it in her own committee before
bringing it for a vote of the Senate last
Friday. In her defense, she said that she did
not like the bill that she recommended be
passed. The pressure from leadership was
strong. The President of the Senate forced the
bill immediately to the floor and encouraged
the Governor to not veto it. Yet, the President
of the Senate voted against it herself. The
whole action gives duplicity a bad name.
The bill was crammed through without committee hearing because leadership
declared an emergency and suspended
the rules. The nature of the emergency is
unknown.
The bill, Sub HB 2178, had already passed
the House. Discussion in the House had been
brief as well. During debate in the Senate
I pointed out that the tax increase is being
sought despite the fact that there is no budget
plan, no strategy, no objective except to take
more money from Kansans.
We have not addressed the budget and
possible reductions to government spending.
This is simply seeing how much we can get
and then spending it. Kansans are not well
served by government members that claim to
disapprove of the bills they present and recommend, by members that vote against bills
GUEST COMMENTARY
STEVE FITZGERALD, Kansas Senate, 5th Dist.
they introduce and for which they advocate.
The President of the Senate forced this bill
onto the floor and to a vote.
The Chair of the Tax Committee did the
Presidents bidding. They both voted against
the bill. They want to avoid having to face
the necessity of making cuts to government
spending, cuts that will upset some constituents dependant on continuing and increasing the flow of dollars from your wallet into
theirs. And yet, they want to appear to be
your heroes, claiming to vote against that
which they promote and advance.
Every newly elected senator except one
voted for this bill increasing our taxes. That
is thirteen out of fourteen new senators.
Many new representatives voted for it as
well. All Democrat Senators except one voted
for it. And he complained that it did not raise
taxes enough.
The bill is now on the Governors desk.
He has not said that he will veto it – although
I hope that he will.
In 2012, Kansas took more than $1,000 in
income tax per person from its taxpayers,
a rate higher than its neighboring states.
By 2014, after tax policy, that dropped to
approximately $870 in income tax per person
and is the lowest in the area. This reduction
in tax per person has kept more money in
the Kansas communities where it has been
spent, saved, and invested by Kansans.
US unemployment rate rose to 4.8 percent in
January 2017, up slightly from 4.7 percent in
December 2016. Kansas unemployment rate
was 4.2 per cent in December – January rate
to be released in March. Kansas has outperformed the national average for years. That
might be changing as the new higher income
taxes take money out of the Kansas economy.
How much will this hurt you? The tax
increase on your income is retroactive so
it covers everything you have earned or
will earn this year and every subsequent
year (NB, your withholding will be short
at tax time because of the retroactive feature). If you have a business the tax is going
up significantly. 60,000 dollars earnings will
have taxes increased by $3,900; 100,000 dollars earnings will get an increase of $8,925.
Increases on small business earning will be
much higher as they had been tax exempt.
This means fewer dollars in the economy,
fewer dollars being spent in the community.
It will hurt a lot.
offering the PILOT, what if they decide later they
dont want to offer it? If they were taxable you
could foreclose like delinquent property. Not a
thing the county can do to force them to pay a
dime. A fine price for ruining our beautiful county landscape. Sober up county commissioners.
How come it took a passerby to notice the fire last
Saturday morning? Dont our illustrious police
department make their rounds around town
checking out businesses? Apparently not.
To the person complaining about Trump: Name
calling only shows your stupidity and instability.
Still cant get your facts straight. But guess what,
hes still our president and hes going to do what
he was elected to do, so you can just whine all you
want. No friends. Its too bad no one likes you and
wants to listen. What a shame you had to resort to
reading our newspaper again. Boo hoo.
In regards to honor, no graphics required in the
will of God.
Two things: On the editorial, that was pretty
stupid. I mean Bush and ex-presidents charge tens
of thousands to speak; youre complaining about
$150? Thats your standard Republican. And on
the people whining about the commissioners
and the windmills: Way to go commissioners.
You cannot let these people tell you want to do.
Theyre whiney little complainers that didnt get
their way. Well, thats the way it goes.
I wanted to commend the county commissioners
for reconsidering the windmill issue. Im appalled
by the few gutless residents who have taken it
upon themselves to bully and undermine the governing process. Theyve even broken the law by
destroying private property. Yes, there were about
80 people at the meeting but a lot of them were
couples and families. The actual landowners were
only about 45. The opposition is well organized
and financed. They do not care about the property
tax that the windmills will generate. If everyone
was so against the windmills there should have
been a lot more people at the meeting besides the
80. I know our commissioners will decide what
they feel is best for our county despite all the
bullying.

Fireworks start
early in Senate
The fifth week of session
brought fireworks that isnt
usually seen until the end of
session.
Senate leadership
requested that both the Tax
and Ways & Means committees kick out bills leadership
wanted.
Both committees
passed the bills out as leadership requested. The leadership tax plan, Senate Bill (SB)
147, would increase business
income tax from zero to 4.6%
starting January 1, 2017 and
allow losses to be subtracted.
Personal income tax brackets
would increase from 4.6% to
4.9% for income over $15,000
($30,000 for joint return) and
below this amount, taxes
would increase from 2.7% to
3.0% starting January 1, 2018.
The leadership budget, SB 25,
would cut K-12 by 5% and cut
other departments as well.
The K-12 cuts would be used to
make KPERS payments. There
are other factors too numerus
to list.
There were not 21 votes for
the proposed leadership budget and tax plans. As a result,
Senate leadership has said
they will not allow ANY bill
to be debated on the Senate
floor until the Fiscal Year (FY)
2017 budget is cut over $300
million. The cuts are needed
because, even though revenues
(taxes) collected are on target
to be at least equal to taxes
collected last year, they were
not enough to meet the higher
budget ESTIMATES.
Senate leadership says we
need a massive tax increase to
get votes to pass a reduced budget. We are pressured into raising taxes to balance the budget,
which is not a good plan. To
minimize the damages, I led an
effort to pass another tax plan.
Dubbed the Tyson plan, Senate
Substitute for Senate Bill (S
Sub for SB) 97 is an attempt to
create fairness in the Kansas
tax code with all small business and personal income tax
at the same percent, 3.9%. The
plan would also allow businesses to subtract losses, which is
not currently allowed. It low-

ers sales tax on food to 5.5%
the first year with a decrease
by .2% every year state revenue collected is greater than
1% from the prior year, until
there is no State sales tax on
food. I am trying to minimize
a tax increase as much as possible and not increase personal
income tax.
Last May, school bonding
indebtedness was just under
$5.4 billion. The Kansas taxpayers finance a percentage of
the cost, sometimes almost as
much as half. The debt has
mounted to $5.8 billion, over
$400 million increase in less
than a year. The State payment on the K-12 bonds will
be around $164 million for FY
2017. Once a school district
votes on a bond, the state legislature has no say if the state
should take on the additional
debt and payments. Because
of this, the schools are writing
checks that the State cant cash
by building expensive new
schools that all Kansas taxpayers must finance with no say.
In a time when legislators are
trying to cut over $300 million
from the budget, schools continue to have bond elections
(there could be 3 on April 11
in the Wichita area). Most
schools need the state aide to
build and maintain buildings,
however asking the schools to
postpone any bonds for a year
or two could help the State balance the budget.

Expect cuts to higher education budget
Recently Kansas turned 156
years old. On January 29, 1861
the territory of Kansas was
admitted to the Union as the
34th state. As part of the celebration, I watched a Kansas
based film Home on the Range,
based on our famous song, that
was presented to legislators,
staff and guests for Kansas Day
here in our beautiful Capitol.
The film is produced by Lone
Chimney Films a not for profit educational film company
based in Kansas. It tells the
story of the song, the cabin and
the lawsuit that determined its
origins. The history is fascinating and important to retain
as a proud Kansan It really is
our song.

done for the current 2017 year,
the Higher Education Budget
Committee heard and reported out suggestions & recommendations to the full House

the Higher Education Budget
Committee recommended the

for the FY 2017 Budget on
most agencies, although massive cuts were discussed. The
KANSAS LEGISLATURE
KEVIN JONES, 5th District House of Representatives
rescission bill will be worked
soon in House Appropriations,
and no matter how it is passed
it will not be pretty.
HB 2226
I introduced HB 2226 to the
House on January 30, 2017
which prevents privatization
of any state mental health facility including Osawatomie State
Hospital without permission
from the legislature. This bill
was introduced with 64 other
house members who co-sponsored the bill with me, and
has been sent to the Health &
Human Services committee for
a hearing.
HB 2074 Campus Carry Alert
The PFPA (Personal &
Family Protection Act), gives
law-abiding Kansans greater options for self-protection
in public buildings, including
state colleges and universities.
It allows any person 21 years
and older who is not prohibited from possessing a firearm
under federal or state law to
carry a concealed handgun
in public. State and municipally owned buildings as prescribed under the provisions of
the PFPA (Personal & Family
Protection Act) that prohibit
the carrying of concealed firearms for self-defense must have
conspicuously posted signage
approved by the Attorney
General as well as adequate
security measures to ensure
that no weapons are permitted,
including screening all visitors
for weapons. This ensures that
ALL individuals who enter
the buildings are unarmed,
not just the law-abiding citizens who choose to follow the
law. [K.S.A. 75-7c10 and 75-7c20]
If a building lacks the adequate security measures necessary to screen all visitors,
then residents with a concealed
carry license or carrying concealed under the provisions
of permit-less/Constitutional
carry can carry a firearm to
protect themselves while visiting that state or municipally
owned building.
The legislature gave colleges
and universities four years to
develop guidelines for implementing the new law which
takes effect July 1, 2017. [K.S.A.
75-7c20]
House Bill No. 2074 was
introduced and heard this
week. It has not been worked
yet. It repeals the PFPA law by

Jeremiah bought a field
to signify the return
Jeremiah was a major
prophet during the decline and
fall of the southern kingdom.
He prophesied during the reign
of the last five kings of Judah.
God declared to Jeremiah that
he had sanctioned him as a
prophet even before he was
born. The word of the Lord
came to me (Jeremiah) saying, Before I formed you in
the womb I knew you, before
you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations. (Jeremiah
1:4-5) Jeremiah prophesied
to the southern kingdom for
about 40 years before the fall of
Jerusalem in 586 B. C.
Jeremiahs ministry was of
a negative nature. All of his
ministry was wrapped up in
the knowledge that God was
about to bring an end to the
holy city and cast off his covenant people. Jeremiah was
forbidden by God to marry
so he could devote himself
fully to the task of preaching
Gods judgment. No matter
how harsh Gods words were
Jeremiah fulfilled his prophetic ministry. At times he tried
to hold the words back but we
read in Jeremiah 20:9; But if
I say, I will not mention him
or speak any more in his name
his word is in my heart like a
fire, a fire shut up in my bones.
I am weary of holding it in;
indeed I cannot.
When it became clear that
the nation would not repent
and seek God Jeremiah performed a most unusual symbolic act. He was instructed by
WEEKLY
DEVOTIONAL
By David Bilderback
God to purchase a plot of land
in his hometown of Anathoth,
about three miles northeast of
Jerusalem. Jeremiah knew
this land would be practically
worthless after the Babylonians
overran Jerusalem as he was
predicting. But by buying the
plot he symbolized his hope for
the future. Even in Judahs
darkest hour Jeremiah prophesied that a remnant would
return from captivity to restore
their way of life and to worship
God again in the temple. God
directed Jeremiah to put the
deed to the land in an earthen
vessel so it would be preserved
for the future. For thus says
the Lord of hosts, the God of
Israel: Houses and fields and
vineyards shall be possessed
again in this land. (Jeremiah
32:15)
In 586 B. C. the southern
kingdom fell. They were victims of their own disobedience.
What starts out as a small
transgression if followed can
turn a nation or an individuals life upside down. We obey
the laws of our nation because
we fear the consequences if we
dont. Gods laws are a higher calling yet and if ignored
or disobeyed will bring eternal
consequences.

on the Holiness of God.

free press in America.
In truth, they know that no
one, including Trump, doubts
the need for and virtues of, a
free press. Thats yet another flip
response aimed, once more, at
painting Trump as Hitler.
Where the Todd-MatthewsMaddow crowd deludes itself is
in thinking adherence to a free
press is license to throw fairness
and accountability out the window that rebroadcasting some
unconfirmed tweet is okay just
because someone else already did
it; that objective coverage should
be sacrificed for relentless hammering toward their own pre-determined agenda; that fabricating rafts of so-called evidence
from unnamed sources, as the
New York Times did in accusing
the Trump campaign of playing
footsy with the Russians, is the
way good journalism is done.
Indeed its a new illumination of
an old problem; is it any wonder
only 30 percent of the American
public trusts the media?
Blinded by the arrogance
of institutional liberalism
and by the belief that the First
Amendment is like 007s license
to kill, mainstream media still
either doesnt get it or cant admit
that their sins have brought them
here. They need look no further
than their own creation for proof.

won 54-29.
John Rundle scored 7 first
quarter points en route to an
early 18-7 lead for Anderson

same in the second quarter
as Tanner Spencer nailed 2
three-pointers and Damone
Kueser added 5 points in the
period as the Bulldogs jumped
out to a 35-18 lead at intermission.
The pace slowed dramatically in the second half but
Anderson County outscored
the Vikings in the last two
quarters as well to pull away
for the easy victory.
It was a balanced night for
the Bulldogs as ten players
were able to get into the scoring column with John Rundle
leading the way with 9 points.
For

RICHMOND Sluggish play plagued
both the Anderson County Bulldogs and
Central Heights Vikings early on in girls
action last Tuesday, but eventually the
Lady Bulldogs pulled away for a 34-19 victory.
The Vikings struggled mightily in the
first half with sloppy play and poor shooting as they were held to just 5 points at
intermission. The Bulldogs werent any
better in the first quarter as both teams
were inept offensively scoring just two
points apiece.
Anderson County broke out of the slump
in the second quarter scoring 10 points in
the period to take a 12-5 lead into halftime.
The Vikings improved offensively but still
werent able to hit double digits in any single quarter for the game. AC put the game
away with a 14-point third quarter to go up
26-13 heading into the fourth.
Ashley Lickteig led AC scorers with 15
points.
The Vikings only had 4 players in the

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY Lebo topped
Crest 67-39 but it really wasnt
even that close.
It would have taken a near
perfect game from the younger
Lancers to pull off the win but
injuries and illness didnt help
matters. The Lancers struggled
in the first and third quarters
being outscored a combined
43-11 in the two quarters.
We couldnt make a shot
plus we were playing one of
the better teams in the state,
head coach Travis Hermreck
said. For the most part I feel
like we competed better than
we have been, but we were up
against a really long and athletic team full of seniors that
know what they are doing. Put
it all together and it was just a
rough night.
Nate Berry paced the
Lancers with 13 points and
Hayden Hermreck added 10.
Berry was 4-7 from three-point
range on the evening as the
Lancers hit a respectable 7-19
for the game. The Lancers only
attempted 9 field goals from
inside the three-point line for
the game, knocking down 5 of
them.

Students celebrate their first T-shirt Tuesday at Garnett Elementary School. They are gearing up for Jump Rope For Heart, February 23 and 24. The students are encouraged
to wear the shirts that they earned each Tuesday in February. Last year GES raised almost $17,000 for the American Heart Association.
Grazing Risk Management Workshop offered
Availability of forage and
the risk of drought are always
in the back of producers minds
as they consider their grazing
and forage plans for the coming year. With 18 million acres
devoted to pasture and perennial forages across Kansas, livestock producers take plenty of
risks as they aim for both profitability and for maintaining
the long-term productivity of
their grazing and haying lands.
In preparation for the
2017 grazing season, K-State
Research and Extension is
providing a series of workshops across Kansas to discuss range management concepts and risk management
strategies. These events are
supported through grant fund-
ing provided by USDAs Risk
Management Agency and its
Risk Management Education
Partnerships Program. One
of these workshops will be
held on March 8, 2017 at the
Williamsburg
Community
Building, 126 W. Williams,
Williamsburg, KS starting at
7:00 PM. The program should
run about 2 hours.
Speaking at the program
will be Dr. Walter Fick,
Professor in KSUs Department
of Agronomy and specialist in
range management.
Dr. Fick will discuss stocking rates, a variety of grazing
configurations, and monitoring rainfall and forage productivity. Understanding the
relationships between timing
of rainfall, pasture composition
(warm-season vs. cool-season),
and forage output are keys to
making grazing management
decisions through the season.
Fick will also discuss development of a drought plan, culling
and stocking adjustments, and
other management practices that alleviate the impact of
drought on pastures long-run
productivity.
Also speaking is Dr.
Monte Vandeveer, Extension
Agricultural Economist at the
KSU Southwest Research and
Extension Center in Garden
City. Dr. Vandeveer will discuss the new insurance product
for grazing and haying lands,
called Pasture, Rangeland, and
Forage (PRF) coverage. PRF
uses a gridbased area concept
along with a rainfall index
as its key coverage features.
Vandeveer will also discuss
how PRF coverage compares
with protection provided by
the Livestock Forage Disaster
Program (LFP), based on the
Drought Monitor and provided through the Farm Service
Agency.
There is no charge to attend
the program. This event is
hosted by Frontier Extension

Sheriff: Prepare for
enforcement effort
Beginning February 20
through March 5, Anderson
County Sheriff Office will join
other law enforcement agencies in Kansas, Missouri and
Oklahoma to stop what has
been an epidemic for the past
several years. In 2015, 13 teens
lost their lives due to car crashes in Kansas; 40% of those teens
were not properly restrained.
In an effort to change this
trend, law enforcement across
the tri-state area will be extra
vigilant when patrolling
around schools. For more than
30 years, officers have educat-
ed and warned passengers and
drivers regarding the importance of using restraints while
in their vehicle.
There should be no surprises
when it comes to this enforcement effort. Officers will issue
citations to any individual who
refuses to obey the traffic laws,
whether it is for speeding, texting or failing to buckle up.
Sheriff Valentine said,
Even one teen death is unacceptable. Please slow down, put
the phone away or turn it off,
and always buckle up.
You name it, we print it.

BUSINESS
Kevin Maloan: The Forgotten All-American
BY LARRY J. RICHARDSON
bought him a used Winchester Model
50 12 gauge shotgun which, at the
time, was almost as long as Kevin was
tall. By the time he was 11-12 years old,
he was regularly shooting registered
targets all over Kansas with his grandpa.
Without formal coaching and training he learned by doing, observing
top shooters and asking lots of questions from top shooters like Steve
Carmichael, Lamoine Baldock and
others who were eager to give him
advanced tips on gun mounting, head
position and the like. As with all top
shooters, Kevin was blessed with keen
eyesight and a burning desire to learn
as much as possible and to be as good
as he could possibly be.
This brings us to how his association with Wichita State University
came to be. After graduating from
high school, he thought about attending college. His father lived in Wichita
at the time so he journeyed there, got
a job in construction and enrolled at
WSU, majoring in Sports Business.
He maintained his shooting practice
at the Kansas Trap Association and
competed at every opportunity all
over the Midwest and occasionally
in California. As a freshman at WSU,
in 1980, Kevin elected to compete at
the ACUI National Collegiate Shotgun
Championships where he caught the
eye of National Rifle Association
officials for his performance in
International (Bunker) Trap. Even
though he was not part of a formal
team, he could still claim a university affiliation which was, at the time,
WSU. As a result, the NRA sent him
a questionnaire asking him to detail
his shooting history, competitions
entered and scores and placings which
he filled out and returned. Much to his
surprise, he says, he received notification that he was selected to be the first
ever Collegiate Shotgun All-American.
His award was a lapel pin and a certificate. The Wichita State University
administration also received a plaque
WICHITA STATE UNIVERSITY
Its not often that one has the occasion to make, what turns out to be, a
startling discovery. A month or so ago,
while watching television at home, I
was browsing through a heavy volume
called NRA All-Americans 19361998, bequeathed to me by a dear late
friend. As I turned
the pages to 1980,
I noticed that the
NRA had made a big
announcement that
they were adding a
category of Shotgun
to their list of collegiate shooting sports
All-Americans to
Maloan
accompany
the
usual slate of rifle
and pistol shooters named every year.
This was the very first year and they
had selected only one, a young man
named Kevin Maloan and he was from
Wichita State University! Since this
was 1980 and we had only started
our official Wichita State University
Shooting Sports Team three years ago,
I was blown away. I inquired about
Kevins whereabouts through the
WSU Alumni Association and found
him to be living in Garnett, KS, so I
called him. During our conversation,
he confirmed that, yes, he was the
guy in the picture and that he had,
in fact, gotten All-American recognition in 1980. We, who are involved
with the WSU Shooting Sports Team,
became very excited to learn that
the first ever honest-to-goodness All
American Shotgun shooter was recognized as representing Wichita State
University. The drive was subsequently made to Garnett to visit with
Mr. Maloan during which he told me
his story about how it all came to be.
Kevin Maloan, BSB 95, got his start
shooting American Trap as a 9-yearold in the 4th grade under the tutelage
of his grandfather, an accomplished
trapshooter in his own right, who
commemorating the honor. WSU contacted him and asked him to bring his
shotgun and shooting gear to campus
which he did where he was officially
photographed. Since there was no official shotgun team (yet) the university
presented him with the plaque to keep
as they had no place to display it.
Subsequent to this, he continued
to compete individually and collegiately, winning the gold medal in
International Trap, was invited to the
Olympic Trials in 1984 and was awarded the second ever All American status in 1985, the year he graduated
from WSU with a Bachelors degree in
Sports Business.
Following graduation, shooting
took a back seat to making a living as
he took a position in marketing with
the San Antonio Spurs of the NBA. One
of the clients he met while working for
the Spurs was an avid shooter who
eventually hired him away to work
in his large gun store in San Antonio
were he worked for three years. As
opportunities presented themselves,
he was subsequently hired to work as
the manager of an upscale, exclusive
shooting club near Aspen, Colorado
called Buck Point. While at Buck
Point, he rubbed elbows with many
prominent movie stars and political
figures. Needing a change of scenery,
he became the sales manager for a
large process management firm which
took him all over the country. After
several successful years, he tired of
all of the travel and decided to return
back to Garnett, figuring that, with
his love of cooking and his business
acumen, his old hometown would be
a good place to start a nice restaurant.
In 1995, he purchased the old Citizens
State Bank building in Garnett which,
after extensive remodeling, he opened
Maloans in 1996. For the past twenty years he has been the chief cook
and bottle washer of what has become
a successful enterprise where patrons
can enjoy high quality steaks, prime
rib and seafood as well as more ordi-
nary fare.
Even
though
Kevin hasnt shot
competitively
all that much in
recent years, he has
remained very active
in the shooting sports
through his involvement as Eastern
Zone Director for
the Kansas Trap
Association and also
serves as their Youth
Director as well as
managing the food
service for the big
events in Wichita.
Additionally, Kevin
is very active coaching a 4-H youth
shotgun program in
Garnett.
He also expressed
his delight that
WSU had started a
competitive shotgun club and wished
that we had been in
existence during his
days on campus.
When asked about
his achievements,
he displays the very
humble attitude that
is so common in eastern Kansas. Such
as it is with many This news clipping from 1980 shows the first NRA

Time is moneyBUSINESS
DIRECTORY
dont waste it
ANDERSON
COUNTY
Check your local area businesses first – keep your local dollars at home!
Even the most dedicated
bosses, managers and employees end up wasting time. If
youre wasting time, youre not
employing that time into generating sales for your business
so when you look at it that
way you can see very well how
wasting time costs you money.
Here are some tips to save
time:
1) Avoid that person: Hes
the vendor who stops in to service your copier and chats too
much. Shes the customer who
has a new grandbaby and a
phone full of pictures to show
you. Hes the new guy you just
hired who has too many stories, and they all start at the
point the earth cooled. Do not
allow these people to steal your
day. You dont have to be rude,
but get about your business. If
youre the owner or manager
the example you set in keeping
conversations short will set the
tone for others in your shop. Do
not allow idle chat to burn your
day.
2) If it can be done now, do it:
Quick tasks should be handled
now, before you have time to
lose track of them and have to
spend more time than theyre
worth in finishing them. That
includes email replies, facing
a gnarly-looking shelf, paying
a bill. Dont let the easy things
pile up.
3) Use your staff: If you have
employees, make sure they
understand theyre expected to
learn the job and do it with
minimal oversight from you.
A team of great employees can

make amazing things happen,
but you cant do your job if you
must continually show someone on your payroll how to do
his. If he cant learn or isnt
making progress, let him go
and find someone else.
4) Step by step: Forget multitasking. Scientists say only
about three percent of people
can effectively multitask and
get everything done right.
Instead, break your goals down
into steps and write them
down. Like your grocery list,
theres something more directive about following instructions that are in writing, and
youre more likely to actually
follow the steps.
Finally, take charge of your
day with a focus and constant
reminders to make your time
pay you.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, February 21, 2017
FFA
A Brief History of the National FFA Organization
The passage of the
Smith-Hughes 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 SmithHughes 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 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 chapter 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 program.
Each FFA chapter develops and follows an annual
program 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 and expo 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
Proud to support

AD
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 FFA.
In 1976, Alaska became
the 50th state to obtain a
state charter. A 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 and expo reached an
all-time high in 2012 when
56,167 FFA members, advisors and supporters came
to Indianapolis for the 85th
National FFA Convention &
Expo. From 2013-2016, the
convention and expo will
take place once again in
Louisville and then return
to Indianapolis in 2017.
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 agricultural education facilities affected by the
hurricane.
Today, the National FFA
Organization is a premier
youth leadership organiza-
tion with more than 550,000
members in 7,490+ 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.
