THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – The chairman of
the Anderson County Hospital
Board of Directors says the
secret to understanding the
benefit of a new hospital to
both Anderson County and to
St. Lukes Health System is in
who pays for what, and
what a new facility can deliver
to local patients and to the tenant.
Increased lease payments
in the new agreement used to
pay off the debt would mean St.

Lukes effectively will pay for
70 percent of the total bond and
interest costs over the 30-year
life of the bonds. A $2 million
gift of new equipment at the
beginning of the project, combined with the first 10 years
lease payment, means St. Lukes
pays $2 million of the initial $25
million construction cost.
Thats one of the reasons
we believe this is the best possible time to do this, said ACH
Board of Directors chairman
Dave Lybarger. We basically
have a renter whos going to
sign a 35-year lease and whose
going to pay off 70 percent of
the costs, and we want to do
everything we can to continue

New hours announced
for Westphalia post office
Change follows efforts
by postal service to
cut costs, hours
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
WESTPHALIA – In the wake
of news that the U.S. Postal
Service would cut Saturday
mail deliveries, Westphalia residents learned their post office
would reduce its hours.
The Westphalia Post Office
retail office now will be open
from 8 a.m. to noon Monday
through Friday, and will be
open just one hour – from 9:30
a.m. to 10:30 a.m. – on Saturdays.
The new retail hours will begin
Saturday, March 23.
The reduced hours schedule
follows several steps taken by
U.S.P.S. officials to cut its expenses in the past several months.
At one time, the postal service
announced it would close about
3,700 smaller offices across the
country – including offices at
Westphalia and Kincaid – but
restrictions set in place by the
U.S. Congress stopped those
closings and forced the USPS
to focus on reducing hours at
13,100 post offices nationwide.

Rec center benefits from New
Years resolutions, programs
More than 2K people
visit rec center in
January; most ever
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Bolstered by New
Years resolutions and state
weight loss programs, the
Garnett Recreation Centers
membership is at its highest
point since it opened more than
a year ago.
More than 2,000 people visited the recreation center
in January, up from 1,337 in
December 2012 an increase of
50 percent in just one month.
Of those visitors, 162 bought
monthly memberships to the
center. Employee programs the
hospital, city and county pays
for memberships for employees brought 138 people from
Anderson County Hospital, 94
city employees and 37 county
employees. The rest of the visitors came from exercise programs, a new after-school program and city recreation programs like Biddy Basketball.
An average of 65 people visit
the center each day.
Were just bursting at the
seams. Its a great thing for
the city, City Manager Joyce

Area residents will face another onslaught of snow, after nearly 10 inches of snow fell over the region last week, and between 6
to 12 inches could fall again this week. City road crews will implement a new procedure for snow removal this week by closing
both sides of a block while crews plow the streets within that block.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Another snowstorm expected today could
dump another 6 to 12 inches
of snow on Anderson County
on top of about 10 inches leftover from last weeks storm.
Mother Nature apparently has decided winter should
arrive in late February,
bringing two of the biggest
snowstorms to hit the county in several years – both
falling within a week of each
other.
County and city officials

Crest parents ask district to consider 4-day week
the Crest school district last
week: Would the district be
willing to consider adopting a
four-day school week?
A handful of Crest parents asked board members if
they had considered making
a change similar to the Leroy
school district, which began
testing a four-day school week
a couple of years ago. Under a
four-day school week, students
attend school slightly longer
four days a week and have
fewer holidays. Although some
working parents have concerns
about what to do with a child on
the day off, churches or others
could offer programs that day.
Leroy parents like having a nonschool day to schedule things
like doctor appointments, and
students seem more energized
and excited about school, parent Aundi Miller said.
But teacher and coach Travis
Hermreck said he took part in
a committee several years ago
that studied four-day school
weeks. Academic achievement
and test scores suffered when
that change was made, he said.

Jan. 1 can use a drivers license
as proof of citizenship. However,
the drivers license must include

provided satisfactory proof of
citizenship. Such notations are
included only in the new drivers licenses that recently began
being distributed. The majority
of people will have to show their
birth certificates, county clerk
Phyllis Gettler said.
RECORD
ANDERSON COUNTY BOARD OF
COMMISSIONER FEBUARY 11
Chairman Eugene Highberger called
the meeting of the Anderson County
Board of Commissioners to order at
9:00 a.m. on February 11 at the County
Commission Room. Attendance: Eugene
Highberger, Present: James K. Johnson,
Present: Jerry Howarter, Present.
The pledge of allegiance was recited.
Minutes of the previous meeting were
read and approved.
Road and Bridge
Lester Welsh, Road Supervisor, met
with the commission. He has received
a permit to move a house through
Anderson County. He has received a
contract from the railroad to put crossing
gates in near Selma. He will leave the
contracts so that the county counselor
can review them. Discussion was held
on the 1 1/2 percent raise that was
granted. Commissioner Howarter questioned what happens with the additional
1 1/2 percent that will be collected since
it was in the budget requests that were
approved. It was explained that any
extra carryover at the end of the year
would go into the reserve funds.
Job Interviews
Commission conducted interviews for
the solid waste supervisor position.
Sheriff Valentine
Sheriff Valentine met with the commission. He updated the commission
on what Advantage Computer found
when they came in last week and that
Lighthouse Electric had repaired the
control room door that was not working.
He has been talking to other counties
about the possibility of housing their
prisoners.
Abatements and Escaped Tax
Abatements B13-163 through B13171 and Escaped Tax E13-110 through
E13-121 were presented and approved.
Citizen Concerns
Dean Register met with the commission concerning the proposed hospital.
He questioned the information that is
being published. He mentioned that the
payment is going to depend on what the
interest rate is. If the interest rate is higher, then the county share will be higher if
St. Lukes portion is set at $1,024,000.
County Attorney
Brandon Jones, County Attorney, met
with the commission. He updated the
commission of the reorganization he has
done since he came into the office. There
is currently a county attorney check fee
fund that is accumulating from a fee for
bad checks. He would like to use that fee
to fund some changes to the office and
from now on those fees will go directly
to the general fund. He talked to the
commission about carpeting, painting,
blinds, lighting, and the need for a desk
and computer system. Brandon talked to
the commission about the appeal work.
He would charge $75.00 per hour for
time away from the county. Any appeal
work done while on county time would
not be charged for. He would like it paid
as salary with taxes taken out.
Railroad
Commission signed contracts for
the installation of gates and signals for
the railroad crossing at 900 Road and
Virginia Road.
Solid Waste Supervisor
Commissioner Johnson moved to offer
the position of Solid Waste Supervisor to

GEORGE
May 21, 1923-February 17, 2013
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
Published February 26, 2013
Jacob George, age 89, of Colony,
Kansas, passed away on Sunday,
February 17,
2013, at the
Allen County
Hospital
in
Iola, Kansas.
He was born
on May 21, 1923,
on the farm two
miles southwest of Neosho
George
Falls, Kansas,
the son of J.B.
and Bessie (Kimler) George. He
graduated from Neosho Falls High
School in 1940. In 1942, Jacob moved
to Wichita where he worked as a
welder until December of 1947 when
he returned to the farm where he
enjoyed raising registered Hereford
cattle until illness forced him to
stop. Jacob then spent some time in
the insurance and real estate business in Humboldt, Kansas, before
going to Topeka where he opened
a health food store and returned to
school, obtaining a degree in nutrition. In the late 1980s he sold his
health store in Topeka and moved
to Colony, Kansas. He then started
the Harvest Health Food Store in
Humboldt, Kansas for Paul Finney.
Jacob was united in marriage to
Mildred Stutz. She preceded him in
death.
He was a member of the Colony
Community Church. Jacob enjoyed
reading and playing games.
He was also preceded in death
by his parents and six brothers,
Larence, Russell, Howard, Wilson,
Robert, and John.
Jacob is survived by one sister,
Virginia Dutton and husband Jay
of Colony, Kansas; seventeen nieces and nephews; two sisters-in-law,
Wilma George of Wichita, Kansas
and Doris George of Burlington,
Kansas.
Funeral

SNOW…
FROM PAGE 1A
dicted that storm would bring
between 8 to 14 inches, with
most of the snow falling overnight Monday into Tuesday.
Temperatures were expected to
remain below or near freezing
throughout the week, possibly
reaching a high of 38 by Sunday,
according to the National
Weather Service at Topeka.
County and city road crews
likely will face another few days
of overtime, following a week
that demanded they hit the
streets during the evenings and
even Saturday.
About 23 county road employees each worked 10 to 12 hours
of overtime last week, road
department supervisor Lester
Welsh said. Some employees
worked Thursday through
Saturday, including evenings,
to clear county roads.
It was all right nothing
we couldnt deal with. It wasnt
quite as bad as a few years ago,
Welsh said of the countys snow
cleanup.
City road crews also worked
throughout the week and on
Saturday to clear city streets.
About a dozen employees, some
from other departments, were
called in to help, City Manager
Joyce Martin said.
Road crews in Garnett will
do things a little differently
with this storm, Martin said. As
a crew prepares to plow snow
from a block, at least on the
downtown square, they will
close the block to traffic by using
barricades or a flagman. Martin
said she was in Ottawa Saturday
and watched Ottawa road crews
use that procedure. She said it
should improve safety for city
residents and road crew members, and should allow crews to
plow the streets more quickly if
they arent battling traffic.
Martin also asked people to
avoid parking on city streets
if at all possible. Crews must
plow around parked vehicles,
and such vehicles tend to get
buried in the snow.
Officials from both the city
and county said they have
enough salt supplies to get
through this storm, thanks
mostly to mild winters the past
two years. The county may need
to order some salt after this
storm, though, Welsh said.
POST OFFICE…
FROM PAGE 1A
The postal service has organized community meetings in
areas where offices were scheduled for closing or reduced
hours. About 254 Westphalia
postal residents were sent a survey about their preferences, and
125 surveys were returned, with
93 percent favoring a change in
hours over other options like
using a nearby post office or
having mail delivery only. A
planning meeting was held Feb.
1 with 50 people attending.
The new hours will be posted
in the Westphalia Post Office
lobby.

overseeing the parks and recreation department, including
the citys cemeteries. The position will continue to oversee
those departments in an administrative capacity, but some
other city employees will see
increased responsibilities.
The city has been advertis-

received several applications.
The position is being posted

REC CENTER…
FROM PAGE 1A
Martin told commissioners at
their Feb. 12 meeting.
In January, the rec center
brought in $4,006 enough to
cover the centers operational
costs. When the city first began
exploring the possibility of a
recreation center after the
former National Guard armory
was turned back over to the city
in 2010 city officials promised not to use taxpayer money
for the center. Instead, donations helped pay to remodel the
building and fill it with recreational equipment such as exercise bikes and weight-training
machines, as well as a gymnasium and walking track. The goal
was to use membership fees to
pay for the operations, such as
staff, in addition to donations.
Martin said previously that the
centers operational costs were
between $1,500 to $2,000 per
month. That does not include
utilities because it is a cityowned building.
The revenue shows an
increase in use, as well. In
January 2011, the center collected a little more than $3,500
from the previous year, when
the center collected $2,062 in
December 2011.
Martin said although more
people are using the center,
it does not appear to be too
crowded. The center continues
to receive more exercise equipment through donations, so
machines typically are available when someone wants to
work out. Some of the busiest times are in the mornings,
when groups of people gather
to walk or work out.
When I go by in the mornings, theres more and more
people, Martin said. I hope
we have enough machines so
people dont get discouraged.
Biddy Basketball also brings
some of the biggest crowds to the
center in January and February,
especially on Saturdays.
Many people have requested
the center open earlier, and
that is something officials are
exploring, Martin said.

School districts that adopt
such a system should do it as a
last resort if they need to save
money, Hermreck suggested.
The board did not discuss the
issue and did not indicate a preference for or against four-day
school weeks. The discussion by
parents followed an earlier concern by board member Jason
Beckmon, who wanted more
information about a suggestion
by superintendent Jerry Turner
to do away with the Parents As
Teachers program and create a
position that would be half-time
teacher, half-time para-professional.
At an earlier board meeting,
Turner had discussed an opening after a third grade teacher
resigned. He suggested a certified teacher would teach the
class during half the day, and
spend the other half working
as a para to help teach reading
to first and second graders. The
other half of the class would
be taught by the Parents As
Teachers leader, who already
teaches pre-school during the
first half of the day and spends
the rest of her time working
on Parents As Teachers. The
district would do away with its
Parents As Teachers program.
Parents As Teachers is
designed to work with parents
and very young children, ages
birth to 3, in order to give kids a
head start for school readiness
and development. The program
is partially funded by federal
grants, but the money has been
declining each year
Board members did not make
a decision about the Parents As
Teachers program.

for months ever
since the heats been on them, sending invitations to 26 manufacturers in

Connecticut, New York, Maryland and
New Hampshire to flee those political

to Texas, where the skies are clear and

House Speaker Phillip Gunn to Colt
Manufacturing in Connecticut, you
will not be criticized for providing good
to the law abiding citizens who enjoy
hunting, shooting or who just want the
peace of mind that comes with the constitutional right to protect their families.
Kudos to these leaders on seeing
the potential blessings left by the scorn
of others. The liberal left, centered
with the Obama Administration and
promoting what it sees as a new wave
of support for photo-opp-rich gun control after the Sandy Hook Elementary
School shooting, has undertaken the
vilification of guns, gun manufacturers and even gun owners in order to
exact tighter restrictions and registration requirements. The other side of
that political dynamic- gun owners and
enthusiasts- have responded by purchasing record numbers of firearms
in recent months under the belief that
they may eventually be illegal or much
harder to get. Gun supporters have
been flocking to take concealed carry
gun classes and get permits to carry
weapons on their persons. Last month
Kansas set a record for concealed carry
permit applications with 3,167 applications- the highest of any month since
the Legislature enacted concealed carry
in 2006. Perry and Gunn and others trying to recruit those manufacturers to
their own states are showing savvy by
following the trend and playing their
hand.
Anderson County, which has lost 70
jobs in the past few years from factory
closings and drought-related issues, is
gun country too. We should be playing
our hand.
In fact, why not make it a grass
roots approach? What if every gun
owner in Anderson County sat down
tonight and wrote a letter to the maker
of his/her handgun, rifle or shotgun
inviting them to take a look at what
Anderson County has to offer? A gunfriendly local culture, generations of
local labor pool with experience with
firearms, a great location tied with
great local transportation and quick
urban access. And dont forget, we even
have an industrial building with free
rent.
Sound far fetched? Maybe. But taking any shot at the target is better than
unloading and waiting for miracles to
happen.
Head Start facts
contradict Obama
BY RICH LOWRY
NATIONAL REVIEW
The least-plausible sentence in the
English language is We know this
works, when those words are spoken
by President Barack Obama.
He said them the other week in
his State of the Union
address about earlychildhood education.
President Obama called
for universal preschool
funded by the federal
government in cooperation with the states. He
cited study after study
Lowry
showing that investment in Pre-K pays for
itself several times over by creating better outcomes for children.
He said this about two months after
the release of a devastating report on
the ineffectiveness of the federal governments already-existing $8 billiona-year Pre-K program, Head Start. The
study wasnt published by The Heritage
Foundation. It was conducted by the
Department of Health and Human
Services, which presumably doesnt
have a right-wing agenda or bristle with
hostility toward children.
Grover Whitehurst of the Brookings
Institution calls the study one of the
most ambitious, methodologically rigorous, and expensive federal program
evaluations carried out in the last quarter century. The HHS study concluded
that there were initial positive impacts
from having access to Head Start, but
by the end of 3rd grade there were very
few impacts … . The few impacts that
were found did not show a clear pattern
of favorable or unfavorable impacts for
children.
One would have thought that an
elaborate, state-of-the-art study of Head
Start would have merited mention in a
speech advocating expansion of Head
Start-like programs. Instead, the president invoked study after study to create an impression of empirical certainty
that, at the very least, doesnt exist.
He said the experience of Oklahoma
and Georgia with Pre-K is that it makes
it more likely kids will go on to graduate high school, hold jobs and form
stable families. Glenn Kessler, the factchecker at The Washington Post, interviewed people close to the Oklahoma
and Georgia programs, and they didnt
know what the president was talking
about.
Believers in Pre-K usually cite the
success of the Perry Preschool Project
and the Abecedarian Project, widely
heralded early-childhood education programs from the 1960s and the 1970s.
But Grover Whitehurst notes what sets
them apart: They were very small, lavishly funded, multiyear programs run
by small teams of highly committed
experts. The question is whether they
can replicate them on a vast scale. The
40-year experience of Head Start, now
serving 1 million children, says no.
If the state of the research mattered to the president, he would be cautious rather than audacious in his Pre-K
goals. He would focus on at-risk kids,
who have the most to gain from Pre-K,
rather than launching a new universal
program. He would want more research
on what does and doesnt work at the
state level rather than declaring the
question settled for all time. He would
support incrementalism rather than a
vast expansion on top of a failed Head
Start.
But he has an ideological commitment to an expansive government and
an unshakable faith in its ability, given
enough funding and the right rules and
regulations, to overcome any obstacle.
So impervious is his point of view to the
evidence that even his own Department
of Health and Human Services cant
penetrate it.
Rich Lowry is editor of the National
Review.
Did you know that our banks in this wonderful country have lobbied the legislature to
remove the sticker on your ATM that tells you
how much of a fee youre going to pay for using
your cash card at an ATM that dont belong to
your bank? Thats what our banks are doing
for us in this country ladies and gentlemen,
and thats what our congress is doing. Trying
to make sure that the banks have a chance to
screw us out of every nickel they possibly can.
I think we should be real proud of our banking industry and we should be real proud of
our congress. Thank you very much.
For a couple of months now Ive had a question that nobody can seem to answer. That
is: Where in the world do they plan on building this new hospital. Nothing has been said
about where theyre going to put it. Are they
gonna have to go in and use eminent domain
again and steal somebodys land? Theres not
another place big enough, theyll have to put
it out of town.
Lets face it. Garnett can be classified as
a bedroom community. Attempts to gain
meaningful economic development and business for the county area have fallen on hard
times. Most everything is stagnant. The City
of Garnett recently received the Chambers
Business of the Year Award. I feel they do a
very good job, but the point is they are not a
true business. Where are the real business
enterprises to fill this void? We need a bigger
tax and more jobs before we even consider
raising property taxes to build a new hospital.
We are a nice community, but we are not an
Iola, Burlington or Ottawa for such big costly
building projects paid for by the property
owner taxpayers. Thank you.
From Westphalia, a big thanks to the Anderson
County road crew and their boss. Good job.
So you think the military industrial complex carries a lot of weight in Washington
D.C.? Health care and pharmaceutical companies spend four times as much lobbying
Congress as the military industry does. Food
for thought.
(Editors note: A cell phone call regarding a
vehicle stranded on Bush City road was too
broken to understand. Please call back from a
different location or a land line.)
Yeah, I see the frickn city has plowed my
driveway over three foot tall. I had a breathing
appointment today, cant get out my driveway
because of the city. They really need to change
the way they do these streets- making it where
people cant even get out of their house. If I
get sick enough and have to call an ambulance
I dont even know how theyre going to get to
my house because of the way they plowed. Ill
sue their (deleted).
Washington cant cut 2.4 percent out of trillions of dollars? Most of us have taken more
than a 2.4 percent hit on our salaries just in
the rise in gas prices in the past two years.
Anybody ask Roberts and Jenkins why theyre
not doing their jobs?

House resolution could reveal true
colors on Medicaid expansion debate
We may be about to see the bright yellow
line between the Houses majority conservative
Republican less-government mantra and the
health of those representatives constituents,
the financial future of the hospitals that serve
those constituents and the future of health care
professionals who treat the sick and injured.
Theres a chance that a decision made in the
House may translate pretty well into a political
acumen test for those legislators.
The issue: A resolution thats a nonbinding declaration of the will of legislators that
urges the governor not to accept a federal government offer to expand the range of Kansans
who qualify for Medicaid health care for the
poor, or KanCare, the catchy new Kansas name
for Medicaid.
Gov. Sam Brownback isnt keen on the federal expansion of eligibility for Medicaid, err,
KanCare, for which the feds will pay 100 percent
of the cost for the first three years and about 90
percent of the cost thereafter.
That billion dollar-plus offer means that more
Kansans would qualify for health care and that
the providers of that health care the doctors
and hospitals and clinics and such would be
paid for providing those services to Kansans.
Brownback so far is coy, but philosophically
doesnt much care for the Medicaid expansion,
saying that at some point, Kansas is going to
pick up some of the bill for that careprobably
by Martin Hawver
KANSAS STATEHOUSE COLUMNIST
somewhere in his second term if he is reelected.
So, if this decision can be squarely focused
on the governor praise or blame, take your
pick why in the world would legislators want
to put their vote on a resolution to urge him to
reject the Medicaid offer?
A vote for the resolution means they want
the governor to reject care for some of their
constituents, to punish the budgets of health
care providers, and maybe, just maybe, see the
closure of some cash-strapped rural hospitals
and clinics that care for the poor in their communities?
A vote against the resolution? That can be
portrayed as support for Obamacare that will
undoubtedly show up in Republican primary
elections statewide in 2014 as conservatives
still chafing at the second term of President
Barack Obama campaign against anyone who
appears to have supported anything the president wants.
Seem like a political intelligence test? Why
take potential blame when you dont have to?
Maybe you want to show support for Brownback
who is leaning against accepting the health care
assistancethat might be worth a Brownback
endorsement if you run for reelection.
And, if Brownback for some reason changes
his mind, you can still say that you question
the program … but, well, it was the governors
decision, and this resolution doesnt really do
anything, anyway. It has no force of law.
Or, the House might decide it really doesnt
want a recorded public rollcall vote on the resolution which is merely a suggestion, not a law.

LOCAL
HOSPITAL…

that partnership.
St. Lukes leases ACH from
Anderson County to operate
local health services and uses
its local clinic services and
other offerings to drive patient
revenues into specialty treatments and advanced care in its
main hospitals in Kansas City.
That model is part of the changing national face of U.S. healthcare, as mobility, technology
and networks of practicing doctors in a variety of disciplines
connect local patients with
expertise and services far away
from their immediate locales.
The problem, as described
by hospital staffers and local
board members, is that most of
the buildings core infrastructure – heating and cooling systems, plumbing and water connections, etc., are antiquated
and in need of replacement.
Some are so old spare parts
cant be found any more. Water
and sewer pipes were buried in
concrete during its 1949 construction and are now filling
with sediment and lime deposits that restrict their capacity; surgical areas, built during the days before technology
and machines made surgeries
quicker and safer, are now
cramped and hard to maneuver
within. The medical gas system
needs to be upgraded as well,
and the building has only one
connection to the citys water
supply – building codes for hos-
pitals now require two connections.
The price tag to repair the
structure instead of build new
is $21 million, stretched over
7 years and after a number of
business interruptions due to
individual projects. Even that
option would still require a
bond to be approved by county
voters.
Lybarger said the deal is
pretty simple overall: If the new
facility is approved, the county
gets a brand new hospital to
replace its 60-year-old structure
with St. Lukes paying for 70
percent of it. St. Lukes gets
a long-term commitment from
Anderson County that will continue a flow of local patients
into its business stream. The
new lease agreement allows St.
Lukes to get out of the lease
after 10 years with a mandatory
two year notice, which Lybarger
said would allow ACH time to
strike a new lease deal with
another regional health care
system to replace St. Lukes.
Under the terms of the new
agreement, St. Lukes annual
lease payment for the facility would go from the present
$440,000 per year to $1.024 million annually. Presently the
county banks the lease payment
to attempt to fund repair and
maintenance to the structure
a sum that doesnt approach
the actual repair costs of the
facilitys many issues. Since the
new facility would be nearly
repair free, most of that payment would go into paying off
the voter-approved bonds. The
construction agreement would
also include some $2 million
in new equipment to outfit the
facility to be paid for by St.
Lukes.
Preliminary estimates project interest rates on the construction bonds under 4 percent, and St. Lukes financial
contributions would mean a
tax increase for local property
owners of 5.3 mills. Any savings on the interest rate would
be applied against the countys
mill levy, since St. Lukes lease
payment would be fixed.
Part of the reason St. Lukes
can pay a higher lease payment
on a new facility has to do with
ACHs federal designation as
a Critical Access Hospital
and the preferential reimbursements for services allowed by
Medicare because of that designation. The new facility would
also continue with that designation, and St. Lukes vice-president for regional services Don
Sipes says the numbers and
future projections have been
well studied to come up with
the plan.
As is true with the many
other hospitals that are federally designated as Critical Access
Hospitals and have elected to
proceed with new facilities,
Anderson County Hospital will
receive additional Medicare
reimbursement for a portion
of its costs associated with the
new facility and technology,
Sipes said. When this additional reimbursement is incorpo-
Most citizens appreciate the
present local hospital providing
emergency service, the laboratory, radiology unit and access
to visiting doctors for specialty
clinics. Possibly that should be
the entire focus and not try to
be a miniature St. Lukes, which
is never going to be possible due
to financial limitations. I am told
the present inpatient hospitalization rooms are used very little
with most patients transferred
on to Johnson County. Despite
this fact the proposed new hospital plan includes room for 10 inpatient beds with possible expan-
sion to 25 beds. I seriously ques-
rated into the financial model
along with projected anticipated
growth in service volumes, we
are able to determine at what
level the hospital-which is of
course operated and supported
by the Saint Lukes Health
System-can sustain additional
lease payments without placing
the operation at undue risk for
its financial sustainability.
Analysts and engineers also
looked at a Plan B option
which would repair the checklist of issues with the present ACH – an option which an
independent engineering firm
said would cost $21 million and
would have to be stretched out
over 7 years. The downside to
Plan B is interruption of services at the hospital for a number of the projects, as well as
day-to-day challenges operating around constant projects.
Under this option St. Lukes
would not increase its present lease payment or fund the

AC substate postponed
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – A win and a loss
in last weeks final two games
of regular season play put the
ACHS Bulldogs at 14-6, and
seeded the team first in last
nights planned 4A substate
opener game against Baxter
Springs. Inclement weather
brought a postponement until
Wednesday.
AC fell to Paola last Monday
night 62-47 but beat Iola 77-56.
The record put AC at the top
of the Pioneer League heap for
2013 with a 9-1 league record.
The present substate tournament grid pitted AC against
8th-ranked Baxter Springs (0-
19), and sets the winner up to
play the winner of last nights
Girard (10-10) and Prairie View
(9-11) contest on Thursday in
Fort Scott. The championship
game is set for March 2 in Fort
Scott.
Other first round games last
night included Frontenac (128) taking on Fort Scott (7-12)
and Pittsburg (10-9) playing
its opener against Columbus
(8-12). The substate tourney
system determines the tournament grid for the Kansas 4A
state tournament to be held the
following week.
Paola took an early lead at
the end of the first period over
the Bulldogs, 18-12 and led at
half 31-21. Despite five 3-point
connections by Spencer Walter
the Paola defense hounded ACs
remaining shooters to control
the offense and kept the Bulldogs
from recouping the early double
digit margin. Eric Tastove hit 18
followed by Walter with 15, Jack
Rickabaugh and Zach Hilliard
with 5 apiece, Steve Dial with 2
and Drew Mechnig and Tanner
Lickteig with 1 each.
Iola was never really in the
game, with the Bulldogs planting 24 first-quarter points to the

GARNETT – Paolas Slowson
slammed 10 points in the third
period to push the Panthers
margin over the Anderson
County freshmen last week,
ending with a rare defeat for
the AC frosh 48-31.
Slowson drilled two threepointers in the second period to
boost Paola to a 21-17 halftime
lead over AC. Paolas defense
dominated the Bulldogs in the
third period, holding Garnett
to a mere 5 points for the entire
period while they stacked up
21 of their own third period
points.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – ACs freshmen
held only a 1 point lead on Iola
by the end of the first period in
their last season game Tuesday,
but Garnett kept up the pres-
sure and slowly built a margin
to win 38-26.
It was 17-11 at the half, but
Iola eased up enough on Jake
Rundle to allow him six points
in both the third and fourth
period. Chase Ratliff also drilled
two in a row in the third period
only 5 points.

Tuesday night for substate, he
said.
Wellsville couldnt get shots
to fall, scoring only 5 points
in the first period. By halftime
the Vikes held a 25-14 lead and
Wellsville failed to open up
any more offense in the third
period, when they again scored
It takes a lot of heart and
hard work to make something
like that happen and every girl
on this team should be proud of
what they have accomplished,
Lane said.
The Vikings came out with a
fast-hustling first half against
Wellsville, notching a 17-7 lead
at half time and looking for a
smooth run to the end of the
game. Wellsville had other ideas
after the locker room break.
In the second half we got
away from what we do well and
played on our heels, Lane said.
We were trying not to lose
instead of playing to win.
Wellsville isolated the Viking
shooters in the second half,
allowing Central Heights only
6 points in the third quarter
and 8 in the fourth, while the
Cardinals turned it on and blistered 17 points in the final minutes of regulation play to tie
it up. Overtime was a wake-up
call for the Lady Vikes, however,
who ramped up their defense
and shut Wellsville out in the
period while nabbing 10 points
to seal the win.

Richmond fair parade marshals honor rolls at KU
BY PAT VINING
Special to THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
The Richmond Free Fair
Assn. is pleased to honor
George and Marge Seinberger
as this years parade marshals
in recognition of their contribution to the fair the past 10
years.
George has been a respected member of the fair board
of directors since 2006, but
its the Horse Show that has
gained the most from this
mans vast knowledge and
experience.
After
attending
the
Richmond Fair the first
year they lived here, George
thought he could contribute to
the horse show —and he has
done exactly that!
Interest, numbers and level
of competition in the horse
show have increased dramatically since the Steinbergers
became involved in 2002. His
many years of working with
young people have taught him
what works.
In 2007 the Horse Show was
moved to the couples ranch
just west of town, where there
is plenty of room and good
facilities.
This part includes Halter,
Showmanship,
Western
Horsemanship,
Western
Pleasure Riding classes, and
Barrell Racing. Like other 4H classes, there is a scorecard for judging each class.
The Horse Show has grown to
about 20-25 4-H members.
Using portable pens,
Cowboy Olympics and the
Pee Wee Rodeo are held at
the livestock arena at the fairgrounds. About 20-25 six-ten
year old kids get involved in
the rodeo.
Cowboy Olympics includes
both boys and girls who move
and stack bales of hay, stack
wood, feed horses, milk a
cow which is actually a calf
feeder….and then race to the
finish line. Anderson Co. and
Central Heights High School
FFA teams love to compete in
this!
Other classes are Dummy
Roping, Mutton Busting, Calf
Riding and sometimes more
are added. Its competitive….
yet safe and fun, too!
George, with help from family members, has been having horsemanship and rodeo
classes and camps for years,
first in Johnson County and
now at their new location
named Homestead Ranch. At
one time he traveled to other
states to have Cowboy Church
camps,
In his 35 or more years of
leading these kind of youth
activities, George has worked
with several thousand boys
and girls. A few third generation kids are now attending
cowboy/rodeo camps at their
Homestead Ranch.
Marge is always there to
help organize, direct, guide,
keep records and serve
refreshments at events,
including at fair time. Shes
the mom and grandma away
from home that all kids need
at times.
Thank you very much,
George and Marge, for moving
to the Richmond community
and sharing your immeasurable knowledge and experience with the Richmond Free
Fair.
Its time for Heeling for Health
Hold the date of Saturday,
April 27th for the 13th annual
Heeling for Health walk at the
Anderson County High School
track. This years honoree is
Marcia Peine. Marcia passed
away in December but left
many friends and family members missing her easy smile and
generous heart. Marcia served
USD 365 for years as the school
nurse and will be greatly missed
by many students who were
helped by her caring nature.
Anyone interested in forming
a team should contact Michelle
Cunningham at the Anderson

Garnett man gets winning
inspiration from TV show
TOPEKA – Ronald Crawford, 59,
of Garnett had just watched the
popular TLC show The Lottery
Changed My Life, so lottery was
on his mind when he stopped
at a convenience store last
Saturday to get cigarettes.
I bought $10 of Powerball
and $10 worth of scratchers,
Crawford told Lottery officials.
Then I went out to my truck,
scratched them off, won $7 and
went back into the store to buy
a few more.
Its a good thing he did! On
the very next ticket he scratched
– a $2 Big Cash Money – he
uncovered a $10,000 top prize.
I read the back of the ticket
to make sure I was playing it
right. Then I returned to the
store to have the clerk scan
the ticket. After she verified
my win, I called my sister and
asked her if she wanted to go
to the Lottery with me, said a
very pleased Crawford.
Crawford is widowed with
two grown children and four
grandchildren. He plans to use
his prize money to purchase
tires for his truck and also tires
for his pride and joy, a classic
1970 Pontiac GTO given to him
by his son. He said he will put
the rest in the bank.
Crawford purchased his
lucky ticket at Caseys General
Store, located at 219 W. Park

Why is this insulator special?
I know we have a lot of collectors in our area. In fact,
these days folks collect almost
anything and most of you have
more than one collection. What
Im wondering is, do any of
you collect insulators. No, I
dont mean woolen pajamas,
but glass insulators. The reason Im asking this, a couple of
weeks ago I found a teal green
Hemingray No. 12 Insulators
dated May 2, 1893, in almost
perfect condition.
Youre probably asking
yourselves, whats so important about an insulator dated
May 2, 1893, because there are
all kinds of dated insulators.
After doing some research
on the insulator I had found,
I found the history of it to be
very interesting. As a matter
of fact, let me share it with
you.
First of all, its identified as
a Vintage Antique No. 12 Green
Glass Telephone Pole Insulator
dated May 2, 1893. Hemingray
by Henry Roeckers
Contact (785) 448-6244
for local archeology information.
ONLY manufactured glass
insulators (not ceramic, porcelain, rubber or plastic). What
does the number 12 mean? If
the number is directly after
Hemingray such as 9-10-12,
etc. that is called the insulators style number. Some
Hemingray styles are comprised of letters, words or a
combination, such as T.S., E2,
No. 1 Provo Type, Muncie Type,
etc. Newer Hemingray insulators (produced after 1933) also
have mold numbers and date
codes.
What are those bumps or
sharp teeth looking objects
encircling the bottom of your
insulator? These are called
drip points. Hemingray
patented drip points on May
2, 1893, as teats for drawing moisture off of the insulator (both inside and outside).
Hemingray produced two styles
of drip points: sharp drip points
and later, round drip points.
Some later Hemingray insulators were also produced with
a corrugated base a rough,
cross-hatch style base which is
not considered a form of drip
point, but essentially served
the same purpose. Hemingrays

It looked odd to see women
election clerks at work yesterday, but it looked all right,
and no doubt they did their
work as well as the men have
done it in the past. Some of the
ladies took their fancy work
with them, and when the voting was slow, they put in the
time crocheting, embroidering
or doing some other similar
work, thus proving that they
can do two or more things at
once. One of the lady clerks
said that at her polling place,
only one man entered with a
cigar in his mouth, and only
one was chewing tobacco, so
she concluded the polling place
was just as nice a place for a
woman as the post office or
any other public place where
women are wont to go.
At the special election in
Garnett yesterday, there was
a decided majority in favor of
adopting the commission form
of government. The majority
of 284 voted for the proposition
and 195 against. It is a larger majority than most of the
advocates of the plan believed
it would receive. This means
than the business of the city of
Garnett will hereafter be conducted by three men instead of
nine, and one of the three will
be mayor of the city.
MANHATTAN — The second
chapter of article 20 of Kansas
state statutes indicates soil
erosion caused by wind or dust
storms is declared to be destructive to the natural resources of
the state and a menace to the
health and well-being of our
citizens. The statutes suggest
it is the duty of Kansas landowners to conserve the natural resources of the state, and to
prevent the injurious effects of
dust storm by planting perennial grasses, shrubs, and trees
and introducing other emergency control measures.
Kansas continues to experience extreme drought conditions
over 76 percent of the state with
the remainder in exceptional
drought. These conditions have
created concern among Kansas
State University soil scientists,
agronomists and foresters that
severe dust storms and windblown soil erosion will occur in
late winter and spring of 2013.
Annually, an estimated 2 tons/
acre/year of topsoil is lost to
wind erosion on the 24 million
acres of cultivated cropland in
Kansas. There is little doubt
that 2013 will exceed that average.
There are many conservation techniques that can reduce
soil erosion such as the integration of crop residues or performing emergency tillage to
roughen surfaces, according
to Bob Atchison, rural forestry
coordinator with the Kansas
Forest Service. However, during drought years it is hard to
beat the time-tested shelterbelts
and windbreaks to provide the
most effective and persistent
control of wind erosion.
Tree and shrub windbreaks
provide excellent wind protection at a distance 10 times the
height of the windbreak. In
Kansas that equates to an estimated 579,221 acres protected
based on the 289,577 acres of
windbreaks that stretch 43,436
miles in length, a length that
would cross the state east to
west almost 100 times.
In response to drought
and dust storms of the 1930s,
more than 200 million trees and
shrubs were planted to windbreaks on 30,000 farms throughout the Great Plains between
1935 and 1942, Atchison said.
Unfortunately many of these
windbreaks have been removed
to make way for pivot irrigation
systems and are continuing to
be removed to make way for
more farm ground due to high
prices for crops.
Though many of the windbreaks established following
the Dust Bowl were large multirow windbreaks, research
shows effective wind control
can be obtained with two- to
three-row windbreaks of trees
or shrubs that dont require
as much space. Some producers raise concerns over loss
of crop yields to shelterbelts.
However, more than 30 years of
research conducted by James
Brandle, forestry professor at
the University of Nebraska,
shows that wheat yields actually increase by 15 percent on the
average, corn by 12 percent and
soybeans by 17 percent when
windbreaks were present.
Though we have made great
improvements in conservation
over the years, our current
drought is a reminder of the
important role windbreaks and
shelterbelts continue to play in
Kansas, Atchison said.
Kansas Forest Service foresters are available to help Kansas
landowners with windbreak
design, planning and financial
assistance opportunities by
calling 785-532-3300 or by checking them out on the Web at
Kansas Forest Service.

Children sometimes ask,
Who made God? The clearest answer is God never needed to be made he was always
there. God is self-existent. He
exists in a different way than
we do. We are finite, defined
by limits. We need oxygen,
food, water and shelter. We
exist in a fragile way. God
on the other hand is infinite,
knowing no limits. In and
off himself he is sufficient to
exist.
God has communicable
and incommunicable attributes. God made man in his
own image and communicated
some of his attributes to man
such as kindness, goodness,
generosity and the ability to
love.
In Acts 17:28 the Apostle
Paul states. Yet he, (God) is
actually not far from each one
of us, for In him we live and
move and have our being.
What Paul is stating here is
Devotional
by David Bilderback
God brought all people into
being and they only exist by
his providence. I believe he
is also expressing the vast difference between the creator,
God and the creature, man.
Somehow man has lost track
of his fragile state and has
set himself up in Gods place,
therefore dishonoring God
much like a disobedient son
would dishonor his father by
bad judgment and decisions.
This system of belief permeates our society.
If we lack a clear understanding of God it is easy to
suppose that the limits of our
own finite existence apply
also to God. It is much easier to bring God down to our
level than to worship him at
the level he deserves. What
we must keep in mind is the
Creator has life in himself and
draws his unending energy
from himself, needing nothing.
Gods existence is called
necessary in the sense that
there is no possibility in him
of ceasing to exist. The same
cannot be said of you and I.
When you and I pillow our
head tonight we will wake up
in the morning by the good
pleasure of our Creator who
holds our very life giving
breathe in the palm of his
hand.
David
Bilderback:
A
Ministry on the Holiness of
God.
