Man dies while fishing
alone at rural pond
Sonar equipment helps
authorities recover body
submerged in private pond
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
HARRIS A 56-year-old man who
apparently went fishing alone at a
private pond died over the weekend
in an apparent boating accident.
Details about what exactly happened to Andrew B. Yoder on his
fishing trip were not known, but
Anderson County Sheriff Vernon
Valentine said Yoders body was
found in the pond early Sunday
morning. Although the incident
remains under investigation, it
appears to have been an accident,
Valentine said.
Yoder was last seen by family
members at about 4:30 p.m. Saturday
as he was driving his tractor. When
he didnt come home, they searched
for him. Family members knew he
had gone fishing, and found his boat
capsized in the middle of a local
pond about 11 miles west of Garnett,
Valentine said.
Family members searched for
Yoder for about an hour before law
enforcement joined the search at
about 9 p.m. Saturday, Valentine
said.
They were joined by first
responders, law enforcement and
the Anderson County Dive Team,
who continued to search the area
and the water until about 11:30
p.m. Saturday. They resumed their
search Sunday morning, when game
wardens with the Kansas Wildlife
and Parks Department brought
sonar equipment to help locate
Yoders body.

Information sought
on suspicious fires

may not be related but all are

The Mont Ida Elementary School sits empty Monday morning, Feb. 8, as students attend classes in Westphalia
because the schools boiler is broken and there is no heat in the building. District officials are seeking bids to
replace the boiler.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Authorities are once again
seeking the publics help to solve a series
of suspicious grass fires in the Garnett
area.
They also want information on the
cause of a fire that destroyed a rural pole
barn and about 150 large, round bales of
hay Friday evening, Feb. 5. That fire also
is suspicious, but is not necessarily tied
to the suspicious grass fires this weekend, Anderson County Sheriff Vernon
Valentine said.
Firefighters were called to the pole
barn fire at about 6:15 p.m. Friday at
700 and Kentucky roads. The barn was
owned by Brad Boots.
Investigators ruled out some potential
causes for the fire, such as a lightning
strike or similar weather-related cause,
Valentine said. There was no electricity
to the area, so that also was ruled out as a
possible cause, Valentine said. The cause
of the fire appears to be suspicious, and
Valentine said he is asking for anyone
with information to contact his office at
(785) 448-5678, or the Anderson County
Emergency Management Office at (785)
448-6797.
The circumstances surrounding the
pole barn fire appear to be different from
other suspicious fires in the Garnett area
this past weekend, he said.
On Sunday afternoon and evening,
firefighters battled two suspicious grass
fires, Anderson County Emergency
Management Director JD Mersman said.

Parents, district officials consider Bill to combine school
implications of broken boiler
districts stalls in committee
Bids sought to replace
broken boiler; parents say
they trust district on future
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
MONT IDA – Families of Mont Ida
students and USD 365 Board of
Education members are waiting
until March to learn their options
to fix a heating issue that has
displaced the schools 19 Amish
students since early January.
And although it sounds like a
simple matter of fixing a broken
boiler, the issue has sparked a
larger discussion on the value of
maintaining a small, rural school
during a time when school finances force administrators to cut
costs whenever possible.
USD 365 officials hoped they
could find a quick solution to heat
the school for less than $20,000
after the schools boiler stopped
working in January. Instead,
theyll seek bids to replace the
broken boiler, with costs expected
to significantly exceed that.
Depending on the weather, that
means Mont Ida students could
spend most of the remainder of
the school year at Westphalia
Elementary School, about 10 miles
away from their home school,
which begs the question: Why
cant they just stay here full time,
and the district save the costs of
operating Mont Ida School?
The problem with the boiler
touches on a more difficult and
sensitive issue: Closing schools.
Districts across the state have
struggled with finances, and state
legislators have proposed at least
one bill to merge district admin-
istrations that critics say would
lead to consolidation and possible school closings. Residents of
a community with a small school
typically resist efforts to close
the school in the name of saving
money.
USD 365 officials havent proposed closing Mont Ida, and are
attempting to fix the boiler problem.
But Superintendent Don Blome
told board members they are not
under any obligation to accept
the bids, and the board will need
to see how much the repairs could
cost before they determine their
next step. Preliminary estimates
for a new boiler indicate it could
cost about $30,000, but the actual
cost wont be known until bids are
due March 1.

Realignment proposal could
reappear in future, USD 365
official warns board members
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – A legislative proposal that
would combine school districts likely
will be dropped this year, as the House
Education committee chairman said the
bill wont be considered this session.
That news likely isnt a surprise to
USD 365 Superintendent Don Blome, who
at a school board meeting last week predicted the bill would die in committee. He
warned school board members, however,
that its likely the topic of consolidation
will be raised in future years as the state
and local school districts struggle to find
ways to deal with school funding issues.
House Bill 2504 was introduced in
late January to reduce administrative
expenses. It would have reduced the
number of school districts from 286 to
132, essentially creating one district per
county throughout most of the state.
Supporters said it would save $173
million over 10 years and improve school
efficiency.
Under the proposal, as administrative
duties were reduced, any surplus buildings not used for instruction, vehicles
and equipment would be sold and the
proceeds added to the states general
fund.
Blome told board members that if the
bill had become law and the new school
board chose to locate the superintendents office somewhere other than Ray
Meyer Gym, where the current USD 365
administration is based, in theory the
state could have sold the Ray Meyer Gym
building. The local community would not
have received compensation for the sale,
and the community would not have the

BILL…
FROM PAGE 1A
benefit of using the gym, which
currently is used for basketball
games and other activities, but
is not used for instruction.
Thats just one of the reasons
why Blome and other school
officials were opposed to the
bill. In a previous article, area
superintendents spoke about
the bill and said it potentially could increase costs rather
than save money.
Blome said he planned to
attend a committee hearing at
the Topeka capitol building
Wednesday, Feb. 3, but the
hearing room was packed and
there was a long line of people
extending into the hallways so
he didnt attend.
Shawn Cardin, school board
member of Central Heights
USD 288 in Richmond, testified
against the bill during the hearing. He questioned the logic
of the portion of the bill that
says a realigned school district
cannot exceed 120 percent of
the number of administrators
and supervisors of the school
district with the largest enrollment in the county, according
to a report from the Kansas
Association of School Boards.
How does this seem like a
good idea to consolidate four
current districts into one and
yet only have no more than 120
percent of administrators and
supervisory service employees? Do you think it is possible
to still efficiently run a district
which will essentially double
in size but with only 20 percent
more staff currently at Ottawa
USD 290?
About a dozen people
spoke against the bill includ-
ing six school board members and others. Also speaking against the bill was G.A.
Buie, executive director of
United School Administrators
of Kansas and former principal at Anderson County Jr./
Sr. High School, who spoke on
behalf of the Kansas School
Superintendents Association
and
Kansas
Association
of
Special
Education
Administrators.
Buie noted that school districts have already been merging there are 20 fewer districts now than 20 years ago.
Communities are making
these difficult decisions on
their own. They are creating
relationships that make the
most sense for their students
as well as their communities,
he said.

his body was found submerged in 8 to 10 feet of water,
Valentine said.
Sunday, the day Yoders
body was discovered, was also
his birthday.
Known as Andy, he was
born Feb. 7, 1960, at Garnett
to Benedict E. Yoder Sr. and
Elizabeth (Miller) Yoder. He
grew up in the Amish community west of Garnett and graduated from Mont Ida School.
He began working as a carpenter when he was 18 years
old. He and his brothers later
formed Yoder Construction.
He was well-known throughout
the area, especially as he drove
through town on his light green
tractor with the white trailer.
He and his brothers built many
homes around Garnett, and
family memers said he enjoyed
the numerous remodel projects
they worked on.
He married Lucy Gingerich
in 1982 in Illinois. They had
three children, Rebecca, Philip
and Julie. They also have three
grandchildren.
Funeral services are scheduled for 9 a.m. February 12,

FROM PAGE 1A
Board president Deanna
Wolken said she and other
board members met with Mont
Ida parents, who were willing
to work with the district.
They would like to see us
keep it there, but they also
understand things are tough
with the state of finances,
Wolken said.
For people in the Mont Ida
community, the school provides a unique balance between
education and lifestyle. Parents
of Mont Ida students say they
appreciate having the school
and hope it will remain open
for years to come, but they
understand the district has to
do what makes the most financial sense. If the financial costs
of maintaining the 87-year-old
school building outweigh the
benefits, the district could close
it.
I hope it works out,
Laverne Keim, whose youngest
child is an eighth grader at the
school, said. If it dont, I think
we will all understand.
Why Mont Ida School?
The Mont Ida Elementary
School is unique because of
its size, location and the fact
that its student body primarily
is made of students from the
Amish or similar religions.
Because it is a public school,
any student who meets the residency requirement can attend
Mont Ida. In past years, that
has included non-Amish students. In recent years, though,
including this years student
body, all students have been
Amish.
Most people in the Amish
faith do not attend public
school past eighth grade. Other
Amish students, even those
who live within USD 365, are
home-schooled or attend private church schools.
Three Mont Ida parents contacted by The Review said they
prefer their children attend
public school.
Howard Yoder, who owns
Mont Ida Meats and is a parent
of a Mont Ida student, said he
believes its important for his
children to understand what
the world is like outside the
Amish faith. He also wants
his children to receive a more
well-rounded education, and
learn things like algebra and
computers. Public school is the
best way to meet those needs,
he said.
Vernon Miller, who said he
understands the pros and cons
faced by the district in maintaining a school like Mont Ida,
agreed.
If you stay a 100-percent
closed community, pretty soon
youre a boxed-in type of people, Miller said. We want to
be able to interact with the people around us.
Still, the Mont Ida parents
are concerned about exposing
their children to too much of
a culture shock if they attended a larger school. At a larger school, students are more
at risk from peer pressure
and bullying, Yoder said. His
daughter has been teased for
being different, and hes heard
of children who began practicing bad behaviors like lying
when they spent more time
with peers outside the faith.
The more kids together, the
more apt they are to have stuff
we dont really approve of,
Yoder said.
Mont Ida provides just the
right environment for the
Amish students, the parents
said.
The school consists of two
classes: First through fourth
grade and fifth through eighth
grade. Junior high students
can join Westphalias junior
high sports and scholar bowl
teams. Currently, the school
has 19 students, with 12 in first
through fifth grade, and seven
students in fifth through eighth
grade.
The schools two teachers,
Rae Ann Johnson and Norma
Rockers, work well with the
parents and understand their
concerns, the Mont Ida parents said. For example, the
Amish parents prefer their
children learn a creation-based
viewpoint rather than evolution, which is taught in public
school. Because the parents
know the teachers, they know
difficult subjects like that will
be handled with sensitivity and
care.
They try to respect our
wishes as parents, Miller said.
Thats important to us.
The broken boiler
When students returned
to classes Jan. 4 after winter
break, it was discovered that
the schools boiler had failed.
The interior of the old boiler system apparently sprung
several leaks, sending black
smoke from the boiler when
it was used. A repairman who
examined the system recommended the school stop using
it. The boiler was estimated to
be about as old as the school,
which was built in 1929.
Without the boiler, the
building has no heat.
On Jan. 5, students moved to
Westphalia Elementary School
about 10 miles or so southwest.
Debbie Alford, who serves as
principal for both schools and
Greeley Elementary School,
said it was relatively easy to
incorporate the Mont Ida students, even as the staff tried
to keep the two schools separate. Mont Idas lower grade
class moved into a vacant
classroom at the Westphalia
primary school building, and
upper grade students moved to
an upstairs classroom in the
main building. Mont Ida students eat lunch separately from
Westphalia, and keep the same
schedule they had at Mont Ida.
Although the temporary
move to Westphalia has been
relatively smooth, the Mont Ida
parents said it is more convenient to have a school closer to
home.
Mont Ida is located in a
rural area primarily settled by
Amish families or those of similar religions. The Amish typically do not drive cars; instead,
they use horses-and-buggies or
tractors.
It would be difficult for the
families to attend their childrens school programs if the
students were permanently
moved to Westphalia, or to
schools in Garnett or Greeley.
Most likely, they would need to
hire a car and driver for such
events, Keim said.
If the students were to permanently relocate, some families might continue to send
students to Westphalia, while
others would be closer to
Garnett or Greeley. The Amish
students would be spread out,
in classrooms with fewer peers
from a similar background.
Some families also could
choose to home-school or establish a church-based school.
By the Numbers
Eventually, though, it all
comes down to the numbers.
The schools enrollment needs
to remain high enough to justify the expenses of maintaining
and operating the school building.
Blome said the parents and
board members hope it will
be cost effective to replace the
boiler, in the same way that
were concerned with any
project, he said.
The parents met with school
board members recently to discuss the bid process for the
boiler.
At the request of the school
board, the Mont Ida parents
talked to others in the community to find out how many
families in the area were likely to enroll children at Mont
Ida in the future. They found
the schools enrollment could
dip slightly in the next year or
two, but would be higher in a
few years. Thats because there
are several young families with
very young children, they said.
Closing the school would not
be without costs to the district,
though. The district receives
money from the state for each
student it educates, and the
more students enrolled at Mont
Ida, the more money the district receives.
The states financial contribution to school districts typically is based on enrollment,
although state legislators are
expected to re-evaluate the
school financing formula.
The state switched to a block
grant funding system for this
year and next year, with a goal
of determining a new financing
formula after that. The block
grants are based on last years
funding, which was determined
by enrollment.
Because the current school
funding process is under
review, it is difficult to estimate the per-student value in
future years. Based on the most
recent formula, though, the
Base State Aid per pupil in
Kansas in 2013-2014 was $3,838.
A report from the U.S. Census
Bureau says that when combined with other financing factors, Kansas on average paid
about $6,537 per pupil in 2013.
Based on that number, Mont
Ida students brought between
$72,922 to $124,203, more or less,
in revenue to the district.
A similar report from the
Census Bureau said the total
per-student revenue – including
local, state and federal dollars
– on average in Kansas in 2013
was $11,596. That would mean
the district received about
$220,324 to educate Mont Ida
students.
Mont Ida parents interviewed by The Review said
they believe a significant number of Amish parents would
home-school their children or
establish a church-based school
if Mont Ida were to close.
If those Mont Ida students
left the district entirely, USD
365 could lose roughly $11,596
per student, based on the
Census Bureau report.
Typically, Kansas school districts spend about two-thirds of
their budgets on instruction,
according to a similar Census
Bureau report. That leaves
about a third for other expenses.
Blome said it was difficult to
estimate the expense of maintaining the Mont Ida school
building, primarily because
the boiler uses diesel fuel and
the price of diesel fluctuates
from month to month. In a
recent bond issue that led to
construction of a new elementary school in Garnett, Mont
Ida received a small portion of
the funds for various repairs
such as tuck-pointing for the
structure and repairing some
interior walls. The roof needed
repairs, but was not entirely
replaced at the time.
Keim, who owns a construction business, said as a businessman he understands the
districts dilemma. He said he
hopes more students will enroll
at Mont Ida, including more
non-Amish students.
My hope for my kids and
grandkids is that they will have
a Mont Ida School, Keim said.
But Ill leave that to Blome
and the board. Whatever they
think is best.

Sad to watch Mizzou burn
When it comes to melba toast management and
the faux racism protests that are quickly ruining the
University of Missouri-Columbia, the hits just keep
a-comin.
Last Friday, members of the now-infamous black
protest group Concerned Citizens 1950 interrupted a
meeting of the MU Board of Curators to chant support
for Melissa Click. Click, as youll recall, is the mass
media professor who joined up with the protestors
last fall and roughed up two student reporters on
public property, no less in the process of trying to
get them to stop shooing video in the protestors safe
space. When they told her they didnt have to leave,
she called to nearby affiliates for some muscle to get
rid of them.
The board of curators went outside their standard
scope last Wednesday and suspended Click, and she
cut a deal with the city prosecutor, to whom one of the
student reporters filed an assault complaint, to avoid
prosecution on the charge in exchange for 20 hours
of community service and effusive apologies. The
move by the board came after a third of the board has
resigned at this point, including its two black members. Clearly, fewer folks in management there want
anything regarding Mizzou on their resume.
More on this later, but lets put it in the context
of other Mizzou high-points last week. At least one
university department had a couple of visits from
union activists trying to unionize the grad students
yes, thats right the grad students. Apparently
working conditions are so intolerable you know,
all that breathing coal dust in the student union and
everything that those seeking an advanced degree in
Moldovan ceramics studies feel the need to collectivize.
Top it off with the failed prospect signing of a
new high school hot shot linebacker recruit from
Dallas who couldnt sign his letter of intent to Mizzou
Wednesday because he was wait for it in jail.
Apparently new Tigers coach Barry Odom has
opted to cut ties with 18 year-old Marvin Terry,
whos been in a Dallas jail since Jan. 25 on charges of
assault stemming from incidents with his girlfriend/
baby mama. The announcement that Terry would not
have a future as a football Tiger was made late in the
week. Terry is black, and theres no word yet from
Concerned Student 1950 on this obviously racist development, but stay tuned.
Back to the 1950 kids haranguing the board meeting to support Click heres the list of reasons they
gave as reported by the student newspaper. Keep in
mind, these are kids fighting for their civil rights and
protesting to shed the chains foisted upon them by
systemic racism at the university:
Because she is the real definition of an ally.
There are many wannabe allies and fake allies, but she
is a real ally.
She represents what this university claims to
represent: respect, responsibility, discovery and excel-
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
lence.
Because unlike that reporter, she understands
how the First Amendment works. (Oh geez, I think
thats the best one)
We love this university, which is why we are
critical of this university.
The group left the meeting chanting Ashe
Power and It is our duty to fight for our freedom,
an Assata Shakur mantra thats become the groups
anthem. Their celebrated role model, Assata Shakur,
was convicted in 1977 as an accomplice to first degree
murder for the killing a New Jersey State Trooper.
She escaped prison in 1979 and has lived in Cuba since
1984.
I have to offer kudos to the Mizzou curators.
Suspending Click was the first and only sensible move
the universitys management has made since the
entire debacle began last fall.
But every news story that surfaces from Mizzou
these days seems to be an indictment of the students
and the administration thats more ridiculously damning than the last. At this point its a rhetorical question that so many alumni are asking: Can a group of
students be so selfishly out of touch with reality, so
ignorant of real constitutional protections, so oblivious in identifying systemic racism and so unconscious
to the long term impacts of all this negative publicity
that they believe something positive will happen?
I honestly dont think so. I honestly think they and
their outside instigators just want to scream at people
and watch things burn.
Whats clear is that no one is in control at Mizzou
right now. The protestors will get nothing of substance
from the administration because in truth they have
nothing of substance to give you cant make an
effective solution to a problem that doesnt exist. The
administration is terrified of the protestors and what
they might do if ramped into a Ferguson fervor.
It all combines to make Mizzou and other places following its chaotic lead the toxic badlands of
American collegiate instruction.

I dont fear death. It happens to everyone. I just hope once Im dead and buried I dont vote Democrat.
Yes, I have a question for the big wind
farm fan in the Phone Forum who
thinks $500,000 to the county is such a
great deal. What happens to the county budget when all the neighboring
properties within sight of those ugly
monstrosities and the ones theyre sitting on see their property value drop
by 30 percent or more the same as if
theyre right next to a railroad track
or a landfill or a pig farm? Great deal,
because their taxes would drop, right?
Not so great a deal for the county and
the school district, who would see their
budget drop with all those valuations.
Were just working-class zeros
We live in the age of working-class discontent, which, if it wasnt obvious before, has
been made plain by the passions roiling 2016
presidential politics.
The medias preferred description of the
average Republican voter has often been
the angry white male. This was crudely
simplistic and meant to be pejorative. If
the press wants to update the descriptor, it
should refer to the despairing white male.
Or more accurately, the despairing white
working class.
White working-class life in America has
been in a slow-motion disintegration for
decades, and it shows. The white working
class is an archipelago of hopelessness. It
is in a funk about the economy (almost 80
percent think we are still in a recession) and,
more fundamentally, the American future.
According to the American Values Survey
conducted by the Public Religion Research
Institute, only about 40 percent of the white
working class say the countrys best days
are ahead. This is not only lower than college-educated whites (53 percent), but much
lower than blacks (60 percent) and Hispanics
(56 percent). It is astonishing to think that
the white working class has a dimmer view
of the nations future than blacks, who have
been historically discriminated against and
still lag badly on almost every socio-economic indicator.
As noted by the National Journals acute
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
analyst Ronald Brownstein, a survey for
The Pew Charitable Trusts picked up the
same finding a few years ago. It asked people whether they expected to be better off
in 10 years. Whereas two-thirds of blacks
and Hispanics said yes, only 44 percent
of whites without a college degree said the
same.
We are conditioned by the media to be
obsessed with race, when class is an increasingly important divider. (No one ever earnestly says on a cable-TV show that we
need to have a conversation about class in
America.) The class divide among whites
shows up again and again on questions about
the fairness of the country.
The American Values Survey finds that
white working-class Americans distrust
institutions like the government and business more than college-educated whites do;
they are more likely to think that their vote
doesnt matter because of the influence of
wealthy interests; they are more likely to
think that hard work doesnt necessarily
lead to success.
There is a sense among working-class
whites that America has gone off the rails,
and has been that way for a long time. Sixtytwo percent of them say American culture
has gotten worse since the 1950s.
Besides the economic battering that lower-skilled workers have taken in recent
decades, the working class is increasingly
disconnected from the institutions that lend
meaning and hope to peoples lives: marriage, the workforce, churches and other
institutions of civil society.
They believe that the long-standing
American promise of a country where children are better off than their parents has
been betrayed, and they sense that their time
is past — a sense reinforced by a pop culture
that tends to consider them afterthoughts, or
fitting subjects for mockery.
Although smaller than it once was, the
white working class remains about 40 percent of the electorate. Its travails cant — and
wont — be ignored.

Kansas lawmakers consider variety of interesting bills
Sometimes, just about a quarter of the
way into a legislative session, you see bills
introduced that make you wonder what those
legislators were thinking about last summer.
A handful of those billsgiven a little
thoughtsounds like interesting ideas that
were surprise nobody thought of before.
Say, that House bill after all the TV coverage of a Kansan who was incorrectly sentenced to prison for a murder that he didnt
commit. Now, he got a trial, and the evidence
that would prove that he wasnt guilty wasnt
readily available.
The solution? How about innocent people
who are later found innocent and have spent
years in prison get some compensation that
was essentially stolen from their lives.
The answer, or at least the opening bid in
a bill introduced last week: Pay the wrongly
convicted felon the minimum wage ($7.25 an
hour) for 40 hours a week they were in prison. Works out to $15,080 a year. You have to
wonder whether thats too high, or too low,
or whether getting it in a lump sum payment
changes things
***
Some legislator probably was driving when
he/she noticed the car ahead was weaving,
but theres a bill that would make it a crime
to drive while holding a cell phone to your
ear. No, it probably isnt safe, and is probably
less safe for others on or near the road if you
tend to gesture with the other hand instead of
steering. There is that loudspeaker setting on
most cell phones, that are still likely to slide
around the dashboard, and complicated car
radios that will carry your phone calls if you
STATE COMMENTARY
MARTIN HAWVER, At The Rail
can get a teenager/computer wizard to teach
you how to use them.
***
Another bill would give you a way to help
finance schools, beyond the property taxes
and state income tax you pay. After all, who
doesnt want to support schools that educate
the kids who are eventually going to support
all of us as they leave the workforce and we
retire?
That idea is to have the Kansas Department
of Revenue add a couple lines to your income
tax form for those who actually see a tax
form on paper or on a computer screen, that
gives you the option to add money above
what you owe to be sent to any Kansas school
district you want. Revenue will take care of
sending the money to the right school district.
Now, that might be handy for some folks,
who decide to round-up their tax check to the
nearest $10 or $20 or $50 or such, but were bet-
ting that many folks who use the convenient
school-finance checkoff just round up to the
nearest dollar.
***
Theres another idea that lawmakers will
consider for the first time in memory: A proposed constitutional amendment that would
prohibit the administration any administration from taking money from the Kansas
Department of Transportation, the so-called
Bank of KDOT. With hundreds of millions
of dollars having been shuffled out of the road
department and into the states general fund
to help balance the budget, it might be a good
idea for some.
Now there is, of course, that need to balance
the state budget and in recent years without
much revenue streaming into Topeka, that
Bank of KDOT has been handybut not necessarily popular, especially among highway
contractors. Good deal? Bad deal? Well probably never see it pass, and if it did, remember,
those proposed constitutional amendments
are at the very bottom of the ballot, where
many voters dont bother reading
***
Good ideas? Bad ideas? Or are they just
ideas that might keep lawmakers busy for
the session, so they dont get into trouble? No
way to know, but some of em sound relatively
interesting on a slow day.

If you put $500,000 in the countys bank
account and then take out several million in lost taxes from lower valuations,
nobody wins. And even though your
taxes might drop if youre close to those
things, do you really want your kids to
take that loss in 20 years when you die
and pass along the property to them?
$500,000 sounds like a great deal until
you account for the drop in property
values. For some of your neighbors what
theyve got in that land is all theyve got.
Not for me. Thank you.
I think its about time somebody ran
against county clerk Phyllis Gettler.
Obviously all she does and gets paid for
is to gossip in the county courthouse.
Thank goodness I live in a town where
the biggest problem is where the city
builds new campgrounds.
I read the letter to the editor. Must
be another parent who had their kid
jumped at school by a coach. Probably
another parent that thinks all the children should all get trophies for just being
there. Thats even worse, give everybody
a trophy and then they get out in life
and find out, hey, I wasnt a winner all
the time anyway was I? Same thing happened to me and my friends and nobody
got traumatized or committed suicide
or anything. We took it with a grain
of salt, toughened up and got over it.
Everythings not fair.
Wow, $500,000 a year to our county each
year from wind farms? Thats economic
development, yes.
If people would check their roofs on real
frosty mornings they would see how
much heat they are losing. They would
probably be very surprised.
It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out that the Kansas Association
of School Boards would be against the
consolidation of school districts into
fewer districts. If there are fewer districts, there will be fewer members of the
KASB, which means less dues paid to the
KASB, which means less money to lobby
the legislature. The KASB likes things
just the way they are. I dont think you
have to worry about this one passing.
Right now the only reason they want to
do this wind farm is because of the tax
credits they can get for these rich companies so they can skip out on paying their
federal income taxes. Thats where the
money is. Down in Texas theyre paying
power companies to take their windfarm
power just so they can still get the tax
credits. If the government changes in
the next election and those tax credits
are done away with, there wont be any
money paid to anybody and theyll leave
that mess right here on our land and
walk away, and then weve got to sue
them to clean it up and take them down.
Dont be stupid, this deal is made for
them, not for you.

What we created, New light bulbs are available now
we cant control
In the Book of Genesis we
read how God created the
heavens and the earth. The
earth was formless, empty
and dark and God brought
light, separated the land and
the water and brought forth
vegetation. God also made
two great lights. The greater
light to govern the day and
the lesser light the night. God
also created living creatures
of all kinds. By the power of
his word God spoke all this
into being.
God took a different
approach when he created
man. God made man in his
image and likeness. God also
gave man the responsibility
to rule over his creation. The
only limitation God placed on
man was he was not to eat of
the tree of the knowledge of
good and evil. When Adam
violated this command God
changed the natural order of
things exchanging order and
harmony for dysfunction and
chaos. Make no mistake this
is Gods universe Man is still
responsible for ruling over
Gods creation but this is a
creation far removed from
Gods original plan. We now
deal with sickness and death,
drought and flood, heat and
cold. For all practical purposes we appear to be a society
that is broken. Our very fabric seems to hang from day to
day in fear of some individual
murdering innocent people.
So what has happened?
Man is finding out that we
have created something we
cant control. We thought
education and technology
would be the solution to the
problem. But all we have
done is enabled the small time
thief to rob corporations and

banks instead of businesses
and individuals.
We thought social welfare would provide a solution, instead it has created
not only political gridlock
over special interest groups
at the government level but
social apathy and despair at
the individual level. We have
shipped industry over the
border or overseas and introduced our work force to jobs
in the service industry. True
entrepreneurship has been
replaced by executives with
get rich schemes at everyones expense but their own.
In the past few years we have
witness bailouts, buyouts and
bankruptcy at levels no one
ever dreamed of.
So where is God in all of
this? Is he as confused and
lost as we are? No God is a
sovereign God, in control of
everything. Man is merely
playing a role working out
Gods plan in Gods time. In
Revelation 21:5 God says
regarding a new heaven and
a new earth, I am making
everything new. Initially
that causes me to despair
but after pause for thought
allowing God to determine
what is good and bad is better
than deciding that for myself.
After all is God to blame for
the mess we are in?
Since the new Department
of Energy standards of 2012,
the light bulb world has
become very confusing! I discovered this very fact recently
trying to buy a replacement
light bulb. So with guidance
from government sources and
several consumer information sites, meet the new light
bulbs on the shelf.
LEDs or light-emitting
diodes are one of the light
bulbs on the shelf. When an
LED is switched on, electrons and electron holes come
together with the end result of
a release of energy in the form
of photons, or light. LEDs are
rated to last for tens of thousands of hours of light. LED
lights dont burn out, the
way that incandescent bulbs
do. Instead, they undergo
lumen depreciation, gradually growing dimmer and dimmer over time.
Another new light bulb is
the CFL, or compact fluorescent lights. CFLs use between
one-fifth and one-third the
energy of incandescent bulbs
and save one to five times
their purchase price over
the course of their lifetime.
CFL bulbs that are regularly
turned on and off for short
periods of time have a much
shorter life expectancy so
save them for lighting that

longer periods of time.
Like all fluorescents, CFLs
contain trace amounts of mercury — typically 3 to 5 milligrams (mg), although some
contain less. The amount of
mercury vapor in a
standard CFL bulb is about
one-hundredth of what youd
find in an old-fashioned
thermometer. Even in such
a small amount, mercury
merits a degree of caution,
as direct exposure can cause
damage to the brain, lungs,
and kidneys. If a CFL shatters on your kitchen floor, be
sure to open a window and let
the room air out for 10 to 15
minutes, then carefully transfer the glass and dust into a
sealable container – dont use
a vacuum cleaner that will
stir the – chemicals up into the
air. Take the broken bulb to
a recycling center for proper
disposal.
The other new light bulb
on the shelf is halogen, incan-

descent bulbs with a bit of
halogen gas trapped inside
with the filament. This gas
helps recycle the burned-up
tungsten gas back onto the
filament, making for a slightly more efficient light. Unlike
the mercury in CFLs, this gas
isnt anything that could be
classified as hazardous waste.
Read the halogen bulb package. This bulb should not be
touched by human hands. A
small bit of grease from our
hands can cause this bulb
to shatter when turned on.
Always use a cloth or tissue
when handling halogen bulbs.
Tips to consider when buying light bulbs:
Bring your old bulb with
you so you know the LED or
CFL fits your fixture; some
energy-saving bulbs are bigger or heavier than the incandescent bulb they are replacing.
Not every CFL or LED
should be used in every type
of light fixture so check the
information on the package
before buying one for a specific application. For example, not all CFLs and LEDs
are intended for use in ceiling
fans in which the bulb hangs
down.
Some CFLs and LEDs can
be used in fully enclosed fixtures.
Many of the CFLs and
5A
LEDs work outdoors but cannot get wet.
CFLs and LEDs can be
used in vintage light fixtures,
read Light Facts.
What about the stories of
light bulbs exploding? Poorly
made light bulbs occasionally
have thin glass, which can
crack easily, while high quality or specialty bulbs often
have thicker glass. Once the
glass cracks or develops any
sort of irregularity, the outside airs pressure will cause
a light bulb explosion. These
irregularities or cracks can be
caused by water, overheating,
or oils.
As a light bulb is used,
the filament gradually burns,
becoming weaker and weaker. In rare cases, the filament
can break and fly towards the
glass light bulb, rather than
simply snapping and remaining in the center of the bulb
which is how light bulbs normally burnout..
The most common type
of light bulb to explode is the
halogen bulb. Halogen bulbs
get hotter and any oils on the
glass bulb itself can cause the
bulb to heat irregularly and
explode. When installing and
changing halogen bulbs, never
touch the bulb itself with your
bare hands use a paper towel
or thin cloth gloves to prevent
an explosion.

Capper among those Second half propels Crest to victory
to be honored on
Kansas Walk of Honor
BY KEVIN GAINES
TOPEKA A Garnett native
will be among four Notable
Kansans to join the list of 11
other prominent citizens in
the Kansas Walk of Honor this
spring. The bronze plaques of
Arthur Capper, Fred Harvey,
Joseph McCoy, and Karl
Menninger will be installed in
the spring along the walkways
of the Kansas State Capitol.
These four new plaques will
join those of Clyde Cessna,
Walter Chrysler, Samuel
Crumbine, John Steuart
Curry, Charles Curtis, Bob
Dole, Amelia Earhart, Dwight
Eisenhower, Jack Kilby,
Gordon Parks, and William
Allen White. The walk was
established in 2011 and highlights people who contributed
on a state and national level
and have significant connections to Kansas.
The four honorees were pioneers in their chosen careers.
Arthur Capper (1865-1951)
born in Garnett, moved from
typesetter to editor at the
Topeka Daily Capital. He purchased several newspapers and
eventually added a radio station to his properties. Capper
served two terms as 20th governor of Kansas, then five terms
as U. S. senator. He formed a
foundation to benefit children
with disabilities that continues
today.
Fred Harvey (1835-1901) was
a railroad clerk who convinced
his employers to test an idea.
He established the first fine
dining for railway travelers.
The Santa Fe Topeka dining
room proved so popular that
Harvey eventually operated 15
locations. The fast, quality dining experience with the iconic
Harvey girls encouraged travelers to explore the Southwest.
Joseph McCoy (1837-1915)
came to Kansas to create a shipping route for the cattle industry. He established one of the
first cow towns, Abilene, at a
junction of the Union Pacific
railroad and the Chisholm
Trail. He convinced Texans to
drive their herds to his pens to
be shipped by rail to markets
in the east, eventually shipping
more than 3 million head. He
referred to himself as The
Real McCoy.
Karl Menninger (1893-1990)
born in Topeka, became fascinated with the new science
of psychology while in college.
With the philosophy that mental health was as important as
physical health, he established
a clinic in Topeka that became
the largest psychiatric training
center in the world. Through
his work and books he built
an international reputation
and received the Presidential
Medal of Freedom.
The Kansas Historical
Foundation, a 501(c) (3), serves
as the caretakers of funds for
the Kansas Walk of Honor.
People can donate to this fund.
The Historical Foundation,
which supports the Kansas
Historical Society, a state agency, established the walk fund
so people can offer donations to
cover the cost of plaques.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
PLEASANTON Crests
Hunter Frazell blitzed the
BluJays Thursday night to
notch 32 points on the way to
a 69-62 Crest Lancer road win.
Pleasanton seized the
momentum early on and led
by one after the first quarter,
stretching the lead to 30-24 at
intermission, but the second
half was all Lancers, with Crest
netting 25 points in the fourth
period to pull out the win.
Frazell also added 5 assists,
4 rebounds and 4 steals. Kellen
Ramsey had just 4 points,
but was a force inside with
9 rebounds to go along with
3 blocks. Brandon Brallier
scored 13 points and had 8
rebounds for the Lancers.
Tonight was a good win
for us, said Crest head coach
Travis Hermreck. We struggled to make shots in the first
half. Frustration set in and we
played soft in the third quarter. I was happy with how the
boys regrouped and took over
the game in the fourth. We
got great play from our bench
tonight.

early and led 19-9 after the first
quarter. The Lancers were
never in position to make a
stand.

FIRES…
FROM PAGE 1A
The first was in the 1500 block
of Park Road, and the second
was along Home Run Drive
in Garnett, behind Caseys
General Store.
Its possible the fires are tied
to one or two series of suspicious grass fires in the past
12 months. Most of them also
occurred near Garnett.
Theyre pretty similar to
what weve dealt with before,
Mersman said.
In November 2015, a series
of about five grass fires were
reported as suspicious. In
April, arson destroyed an
abandoned former schoolhouse
and authorities speculated it
could be tied to a spate of other
suspicious grass fires at the
time. In February 2015, the
sheriffs department offered a
$500 reward for information
related to suspicious fires
Tues., February 9, 2016
5-7 p.m
since the beginning of that
year. Valentine said he is considering reinstating the reward
offer.
In addition to asking people to come forward with
information about suspicious
fires, Mersman also reminds
property owners and residents
to practice good land management by cutting grass low
around buildings and homes.
He called it creating a
defensible space, which
includes keeping grass short
and trimming bushes. Lower
grass levels create a protective
area around homes, and gives
firefighters a better chance of
stopping grass fires before they
spread to buildings.
It makes a world of difference to go from tall grass to
short grass, as far as what we
can get put out, he said.

Viking girls come up short Mustangs avenge earlier loss to Vikings
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
IOLA The Central Heights
Viking girls traveled to Iola
Friday night to take on the Iola
Mustangs and despite playing
one of their better games of
the season dropped the contest
34-28.
Head coach Scott Lane had
to be pleased with how his girls
responded to the big loss earlier this week.
Offense was at a premium
in the first half. The Mustangs
held a slight 6-4 lead after the
first period, but the Vikings
answered to knot the score at
10 at the break.
In a decisive third quarter,
Iola pulled out on top with an
11-6 advantage for the period,
which was too much for the
Vikings to overcome down the
stretch.
I thought this was one
of the better games we have
played all season, Lane stated.
We played very hard on both
ends of the court and Im proud
of the way we responded after a
lackluster effort on Tuesday.

Bulldog girls dominate Vikings
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The AC girls
walloped Central Heights 41-11
Tuesday night.
The Bulldogs started off
quick and never looked back
racing to a 14-2 lead after the
first quarter. The Vikes mustered only four points for the
entire second half, including
just one point in the fourth
quarter.
Maci Rockers led AC with 16
points, including 4 three-pointers. Regan Markley from
Central Heights scored 7 of the
teams 11 points on the evening.
Central Heights head coach
Scott Lane felt his girls lost
confidence early.
I thought we just didnt
come out with a lot of energy.
Our first four shots rimmed out
and from there we just couldnt
get physically or mentally back
in the game, he stated.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
WESTPHALIA Westphalia
girls basketball season came
to a close Jan. 25 against North
East Arma at Westphalia.
The varsity team ended the
season with a 6-7 record. Four
of those losses came down
to the last 2 minutes of play
where free throws played a big
role in the deciding factor of
those games, which we found
ourselves on the short side of
things at the line those nights.
We had a fun season, everyone came to work hard every
day at practice and competed
every night in the games, said
head coach Jeremy Ball. As a
group we definitely improved
individual skills and team
playing skills as the season
progressed. I was very pleased
with the effort these girls
played with.
Top 3 scorers were 8th
grader Maya Comfort (58 total
points scored/ 13 games), 7th
graders: Katie Schmit (56
t.p.s. / 13 games) and Hannah
Gardner (40 t.p.s. / 13 games).
8th graders Sylvia Keim and
Becky Kropf held the post position for the season with solid
defense and rebounding. Most
improved player in the second
half of the season was 7th grader Sophia Cole, she provided
defensive energy and scored
32 points in the last 6 games.
Seventh graders Korey Rohde,
Maddie Womelsdorf, Teresa
Yoder also provided valuable
minutes off the bench throughout the season. The girls JV
team was anchored by 7th
graders: Maddie Womelsdorf,
Korey Rohde, Hannah Corley,
April Powls, Haley Schweizer,
Katina Brown, and Teresa
Yoder, 6th graders: Molly
Comfort and Karyn Yoder.
These girls improved throughout the season, pushing everyone including themselves at
practice to bring their A game
every day.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
IOLA Back in the middle of
December the Central Heights
Vikings dominated the Iola
Mustangs at home and won
handily 46-29. In a complete
reversal of that earlier contest,
it was the Mustangs chance to
turn the tables and pummel the
visiting Vikings last week by
the final score of 57-29.
The Mustangs blistered the
Vikes from tip-off, bursting
out to a 17-3 first period lead.
Another sour scoring effort
in the third period that yielded only 5 points for the Vikes
sealed the deal for Iola.
The Iola Mustangs were led
by Ethan Holloway with 16
points.
Matt Percy was the only
Vikings player to score double
digits as he tallied 11 points on
the night.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The Anderson
County boys squared off with
the Central Heights Vikings at
home and rolled to a 63-40 victory.
AC started off hot and didnt
let up, scoring 18 points in
each of the first three quarters
to build a commanding 54-28
advantage heading into the
fourth period.
The Vikings Matt Percy and
Cade Masingale each finished
the evening with a game high
13 points.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY Crest fell 60-58
in two overtimes in a crushing Tuesday night loss that
avenged Southern Coffey
Countys earlier season 48-45
loss to the Lancers.
Crest had the lead early and
rode into the halftime break
with a 29-25 advantage. But the
Titans would chip away at the
lead to tie it at 43 at the buzzer.
The first OT would see each
team only score 5 points, but it
was the Titans that reeled off 12
points in the second overtime
to pull out the hard fought victory.
Evan Godderz finished with
a team high 23 points for the
Lancers. Hunter Frazell had
quite the stat line with 19
points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists
and 4 steals.
Leading the way for the
Titans were sophomore Conner
Ludolph with 23 points and
freshman Dawson Leimkuhler
added 15 points.
We played hard, we just
struggled to make shots. Those
struggles were compounded by
the fact that SCC was playing
very well, head coach Travis
Hermreck said following the
loss.

Westphalia boys struggle to 1-12
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
WESTPHALIA
The
Westphalia boys regular basketball season came to a close
Jan. 25 with a 1-12 record.
This was a tough year for
us with 5 returning players
from last years team and the
other 4 new to our team, said
coach Jeremy Ball. We worked
hard every day in getting more
comfortable in playing as a
team with passing the ball and
communicating to each other.
We grew in confidence in our
shooting abilities as the season
progressed.
Ball said learning to back
each other up after a loss was
key to this year for the boys,
being able to come to practice
in a positive mind set is not
easy after a loss. These boys
were able to do that to progress
further as a team.
The top three scorers were
6th grader Nathan Schmit (78
t.p.s./13 games), 7th grader
Carter Edgecomb (54 t.p.s./13
games), and 8th grader Morgan
Hall (52 t.p.s. / 13 games). 6th
grader Cody Heslop, 7th graders Nathan Borntreger, Dylan
Cole, Drew Filbrun and 8th
graders Jacob Ellis and Derek
Ratzlaff contributed throughout the season with their effort
on defense and desire to play
team basketball on offense. The
boys will be participating in
Central Heights Junior High
JV basketball tournament Feb.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 2-9-2016 / Photo Submitted
John Strobel, left, and Henry Roeckers, both of Garnett, show some of the artifacts from the Richard Strobel Farm two miles south of Richmond. Roeckers will tell
some of the history and describe artifacts that date to the 1770s or earlier at the Richmond Community Museum meeting at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 21.
Strobel Farm artifacts at Richmond Museum
Artifacts that date from as
far back as the 1850s from
the Richard Strobel Farm two
miles south of Richmond on
highway 59 will be the focus
of the Richmond Community
Museum meeting Sunday,
February 21, 2016, at 2 p.m.
Everyone is invited to hear
Henry Roeckers describe
several of the many artifacts
he found while digging at
the Strobel Farm a couple of
years ago.
Roeckers found many more
artifacts than could ever be
discussed in one afternoon,
so he and John Strobel have
selected a small number for
show and tell at the Museum
event.
The farm was established
in about 1885 by Joseph
Steinbaugher and his wife
who emigrated to this country from Germany along with
numerous other families who
settled in and around Greeley
and Scipio. The farm has
stayed in the family through
marriages and now is occupied by the fifth generation.
Roeckers, an experienced
amateur archeologist, relates
that about 30 years before
this property was a farm as
it is today, it was the Perrine
Trading Post and Native
Americans were regular visitors. The Perrine family has a
fascinating story and connection to Garnett, which he will
discuss.
To the west, across highway 59, was the small community of Fairview many
years ago. This included a
school, trading post and a
few houses. However, like
the Berea community east of
Richmond, that little town
didnt survive.
Roeckers will outline the
areas history and answer
questions about the whole
Scipio corner area.
The Museum will open at
1 p.m. so visitors can see the
displays, including a new
one, prepared by Charles
Prue, which is about Everett
and Ruth Atchison and the
Atchison Drug Store on main
street from 1904 until the mid
1940s. The Museum has many
Atchison family photos plus
ones taken by Everett around
the community.
In June the Richmond
Community Museum will
begin its 9th season as a small
museum with more than 1,000
artifacts and countless pieces of archival materials from
the area. There is no admission charge but donations are
appreciated. Regular open
hours are the weekend afternoons between Memorial Day
through Labor Day.
Call Pat Vining at (785) 8356598 for further information.
Anderson County Garnett Library to discuss
gets $50K federal The Blue Bottle Club
fire training grant
WASHINGTON – A $50,000
federal grant will help area
firefighters learn how to better handle fires that involve
flammable liquids and gases
such as propane, natural gas
and ethanol.
Anderson County was one
of only 22 agencies nationwide to receive money from
the U.S. Department of
Transportations Pipeline
and Hazardous Materials
Safety
Administration
(PHMSA). More than $1.4
million will help local governments and pipeline safety
groups work with communities and non-profit organizations to develop customized pipeline safety and
education programs. The
grant was announced locally
Jan. 25 by Anderson County
Emergency Management
Director JD Mersman.
As part of its Technical
Assistance Grant (TAG)
program, PHMSA issues
the awards to advance public participation in pipeline
safety initiatives.
Local
governments
must have the resources
to develop safety programs
that fit their communities,
said U.S. Transportation
Secretary Anthony Foxx.
These grants encourage
public involvement in pipeline safety and allow communities to develop specific
solutions to individual pipeline safety challenges.
Mersman said Anderson
Countys portion of the
money will be used to purchase live fire training
equipment, and the training exercises will be open
to departments and agencies
across the region.
The awards provide funding for a broad range of activities, including improving
or developing local pipeline
emergency response capabilities, safe digging or damage prevention programs,
pipeline safety information
resources, community and
pipeline awareness campaigns, and public participation in official proceedings
that pertain to pipelines.
Everyone has a role
to play in keeping people
and the environment safe
in the transport of hazardous materials, said
PHMSA
Administrator
Marie Therese Dominguez.
Through the TAG program,
PHMSA helps our partners
in educating and developing
safety solutions for their
respective communities.
Since 2009, PHMSA has
awarded over $7 million to
fund 161 individual projects
to assist local communities
and organizations address
locally focused pipeline safety needs. Each grant recipient may receive up to $100,000
for TAG projects, which
must be completed within

The Garnett Public Library
will hold their book discussion on Wednesday, February
24th at 7 p.m. in the Archer
Room at the library. They are
held on the fourth Wednesday
of each month. This months
book is The Blue Bottle
Club by Penelope Stokes. She
holds a Ph.D. in Renaissance
Literature and was a college
professor for twelve years
before leaving the classroom
to write full-time. Leading our
discussion will be Paulabeth
Henderson.
Faced with the grim realities of the 1929 Depression, four
hopeful girls treasured their
youthful aspirations above all
else. They wrote their dearest dreams on small pieces of
paper and on Christmas Day,
in a cold, candlelit attic, secretly placed them inside a cobaltblue bottle, vowing to remain
friends for life.
Sixty-five years later,
Brendan Delaney, a local television news reporter, unexpectedly discovers those slips
of paper in that dusty, forgotten
bottle. She embarks on a passionate quest to interview the
now-elderly women, discovering the most meaningful story
of her career.
The books are available
for checkout at the library.
Notification is posted in case of
cancellation.

Meeting to discuss new
Veterinary Feed Directive
Frontier Extension District
will host a pair of meetings on
Feb.18, to discuss the implementation of the new Veterinary
Feed Directive (VFD) that will
come into effect on January 1,
2017. The meetings will be held
at two locations.
The afternoon session starting at 2:00 p.m. will be held at
the Anderson County Sales Co,
430 N. Maple in Garnett.
The evening session will
be held at the Overbrook
Livestock Commission Co, 305
W. 1st, Overbrook beginning at
7:00 p.m.
DVM, Mark Apley, KSU
Professor
of
Production
Medicine will be the speaker.
The agendas for both locations
will be the same and will cover
What is a VFD, and How it
will Affect My Business, we
will also cover Antimicrobial
Resistance and Using Killed
versus Modified Live Vaccines,
Which is Best for Me.
The FDA has taken this
action (VFD) to promote the
judicious use of medically
important antimicrobial drugs
in food animals. The goal is to
work with the industry, to protect public health, by phasing
out the use of medically important antimicrobials in food animals that enhance growth or
improve feed efficiency, and to
bring the uses of such drugs, to
treat, control or prevent specific diseases, under the oversight
of a licensed veterinarian.
Time will be set aside to
answer your questions.

Advertising: Failure
of Facebook
A lot of businesses, bands
and non-profit organizations
have been hustling the past
several years to develop their
fan base on Facebook just to
find out in recent months the
Zuckerberg crew has ratcheted
down free FB posts to reach
only 1-2% of your followers.
What the?
Yes, the free sample of
Facebook advertising has
ended.
Now, unless you can convince private page users to
share your business post,
youll only have a micron of
the audience you had before.
Under the new FB policy, if you
had 1,000 fans, you would only
reach the news feeds of 10-20 of
them.
What FB wants you to do is
hit that boost post button,
which will charge you $5-$100
to send your post to more peoples news feeds fans, friends
of fans, etc.
That was probably the plan
all along Facebook is a business after all, and its only
right that the company should
expect a return on its investment, especially when people
trying to make money on it are
taking what has been up until
now a free ride. Its a rude
awakening to some business
people who have come to the
conclusion that their advertising should always be free. Not
so. The next FB targets will
probably be those community
swap & talk pages where people sell their old baby clothes,
etc. Facebook intends to make
money, and nobodys going to
get a free ride.
But there are options to free
Facebook the keys are 1)
finding the option that reaches
your core buyers and produces results in multiples of what
you can afford to invest; and
2) remembering that if youre
going to advertise, you MUST
make a significant offer to generate response.
1) Stay with FB and pay
the posting fee. Try it and see
if it works. If it doesnt, it may
be that it never really did. If
it does, you should be able to
justify your FB generated sales
directly against the cost of the
posting fees.
HOW TO SELL STUFF

Review Publisher
2) Convince your friends
and fans that do get reached
by your message to share the
post. This kicks your post into
another FB dimension and gets
more audience, though you
really have no control whether
those who see it will be in your
target market.
3) Start gathering email
addresses again remember,
we all did this before FB and
we probably should never have
stopped. When you have an
offer, shoot out an email that
contains your FB page link.
Fans, etc., can still see your
page if they go directly to it (the
FB limitations are so far only
on organic posts that come
through on their news feeds) so
you can still generate FB traffic
through email.
4) Dont forget conventional
media options. Despite years
of forecasts that newspapers
and radio would dry up due to
the Internet, local and national
companies still spend billions
on conventional advertising
and for only one reason it
still has an audience usually
even a more affluent one than
traditional free social media
consumers. Determine if your
customers are readers or listeners, and then go where they
are.
And keep your eyes and ears
open for other alternatives. If
this is as big an online marketing rift as some say it is, it
wont be long until somebody
comes up with another idea.

Earthquake insurance coverage is
separate from homeowners insurance
TOPEKA Earthquake
insurance coverage in Kansas
requires a separate policy or
endorsement to your regular
homeowners insurance policy,
according to Ken Selzer, CPA,
Commissioner of Insurance.
Earthquake coverage is not
a part of a regular homeowners,
renters or condominium insurance policy, Commissioner
Selzer said. If your insurance
company offers it and many
do coverage can be added by
including an endorsement to
your policy or by purchasing a
separate earthquake policy.
In
either
case,
the
Commissioner said, you will
pay an extra premium. Instead
of a dollar amount, the deductible for that premium will
probably be a percentage of the
cost of rebuilding your home.
There might also be a separate
deductible for the homes contents.
The type of home construction could also determine the
CONSUMER
ALERT
Kansas Insurance
Department
insurability of the structure
as well, Commissioner Selzer
said. Wood frame homes often
withstand earthquakes better
than brick or stone structures,
and their rates may be less
costly. Single-story homes may
receive better rates. And the
age of the home may affect the
cost.
One other factor in the cost
of the coverage could be the
number of claims filed. More
claims may determine whether
an insurance company changes
its premiums. That process is
similar to how premiums for
others lines of insurance are
structured.
Kansans should also
remember that earthquake pol-
ANDERSON
icies usually cover only structural and foundation damage to
a home, Commissioner Selzer
said. That is why it is important, if you are considering the
coverage, that you talk over
the specifics with your local
agent.
Commissioner Selzer also
offered these points to consider
about earthquake coverage:
Coverage doesnt include
damage to your vehicles. That
may be covered under your
current automobile policy.
Check with your local insurance agent or company to verify your vehicle coverage.
The time to buy the coverage is before an earthquake.
Most insurers wont sell any
new earthquake insurance
for 30 to 60 days after a recent
earthquake. Check with your
insurance company to be sure.
As with any household
coverage, make a household
inventory. Go through each
room to write down and video
everything. Store the inventory in a secure place at another
location, such as a safe deposit box. (For a download of a
Personal Home Inventory, go
to www.ksinsurance.org, and
on the home page hit Finding
a Publication under the Help
With banner. If you have
a smartphone, you can get
the application for a mobile
personal home inventory,
MyHomeScr.APP.book, from
your phones app store.
A survey by the Insurance
Information Institute (III)
shows that only 8% of homeowners in the Midwest have
earthquake insurance. In
Oklahoma, where earthquakes
have been prevalent during the
past few years, a total of 15 percent of homeowners have the
coverage, according to the III.

1996: Legislative efforts aimed at stopping rail trail
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 2-9-2016 / Photo Submitted
This bottle of Pluto Water was found at a dump in Maine years ago.
The water was a popular natural laxative decades ago.
Pluto Water was very
popular many years ago
My daughter Lori and
I found this old bottle in a
Topsham, Maine, dump several
years ago. This Aqua Green
bottle once contained Pluto
Water Americas Physic.
How many of you have or
remember this old bottle?
Pluto Water was a trademark
for a strongly laxative natural
water product, which was very
popular in the United States in
the early 20th Century.
The waters high native
content of mineral salts generally made it effective within
one hour of ingesting, a fact
the company emphasized in
their promotional literature.
Company advertisements stated the laxative was effective
from a half hour to two hours
after ingestion. Pluto Water
was an extremely popular product. In 1919, it took 450 railroad
cars to transport the bottlers
output.
Pluto Water was bottled at
the French Lick Springs, in
French Lick, Indiana, a location with natural mineral
springs. It was advertised as

The high costs of urban cemetery lots in areas like Kansas
City are prompting city dwellers to seek cheaper final resting
spots for their loved ones, and
theyre targeting near-forgotten
country cemeteries like many
in Anderson County to find a
burial place at a bargain price.
Many of the rural cemeteries
never even charged a burial fee
until recently, and any previous fees were nominal. In 1995
the cost to purchase a cemetery plot, or eight burial spaces,
in the Lone Elm Cemetery was
only $50. In 2003 cemetery trustees became aware how much
lower their fees were in comparison and raised the cost to $250.
Cemeteries in the Kansas City
and Topeka area cost anywhere
from $900 to $4,350 for one burial
space, and included a monthly
maintenance fee.
Burglars broke into the
Scipio Supper Club recently
for the third time in a little
more than a year. Nearly $500
in alcohol was stolen Jan. 26. In
other recent burglaries at the
business, alcohol and tobacco
products have been the aim of
the perpetrators.

in the local area, the politically beleaguered Prairie Spirit
Rail Trail faces new obstacles
both in Franklin County and
in Topeka aimed at halting its
development and curtailing the
development of similar trails in
the state. Funded with 80 percent of its costs paid by federal grant money and 20 percent
coming from a combination of
state lottery funds, state general
fund money and private donations, the Prairie Spirit would
connect Ottawa, Garnett and
Iola with a 50-mile recreational
trail built on the rail bed of the
old Santa Fe Railroad line. Two
recent developments are seen as
victories for trail opponents, the
first being the appointment of
Thomas Weigand to the Franklin
County Commission, the second
the consideration of a Kansas
House of Representatives Bill

slogan When Nature Wont,
PLUTO WILL. On the bottom
of this bottle is an embossed
image of the devil; while
its namesake was Pluto, the
Roman god of the underworld;
so named because of the waters

The active ingredient of
Pluto Water was listed as sodium and magnesium sulfate,
which are known as natural
laxatives. The water also contains a number of other minerals, most notably lithium salts.
The sale of Pluto Water was
halted in 1971, when lithium
became a controlled substance.

was a complete pitcher for many
years in both professional and
semi-pro fields of baseball. He
started his professional career
in 1946 with the Topeka Owls
of the Western Association. He
then moved to Miami, Okla.,
in the KOAM League where
he won 24 games, including
an opening day no hit, no run
game. In 1948 Morris split the
season with Omaha in the
Western League and Houston
in the Texas League. He started a new era with the Boeing

period he won over 50 games,
including wins in state, national and global tournaments.

French 80th birthday Crest forensics has a good team this year

Register now for burn
school in Garnett
Burning of native grasses in
our area goes back hundreds
of years and is responsible for
the development of the grassy
Great Plains.
A meeting to discuss the
reasons to burn, how to plan
and conduct a prescribed burn,
and how to be safe while burning will be held Feb. 24 at the
Community Building, on the
Anderson County Fairgrounds,
Garnett. The meeting will start
at 10:00 and last through 3:00
p.m.
Reservations are required
by Feb. 19. The first 30 people to
register will be admitted free of
charge, others will be charged
$10.00 for reference materials.
A chili lunch will be available, donations to cover meal
costs would be appreciated.
When I first became an
Extension Agent in Osage
County some 25 years ago, a
man came to my office and
talked with me about a letter
he had from the mid 1800s,
Rod Schaub, Frontier District
agent, said.
The letter discussed a trip a
relative had made from northwest Osage County to southeast
Osage County. It talked about a
vast sea of native grass with no
trees in sight. The native grasses were so high that he had
to kneel on his horses saddle
to see over the grass. The trip
ended near Quenemo where
they saw the only trees they
had seen on the north bank of
the Maris des Cygnes River.
To me this was quite a story
and almost hard to believe. But
fires, both natural and man
made, were responsible for the
development of this huge area
of grassland called the Great
Plains. Based on early records,
these fires varied from only
a few acres to thousands of
acres and lasted weeks. To the
early settlers, fire was a feared
enemy and a constant concern.
The Plains Indians often started fires to attract game.
Fire has always played a
significant role in preventing
woody plants from invading
the prairie. But many other
benefits also occur when grasses are burned under favorable
conditions and with proper
timing.
Benefits of burning may
include: increased forage quality; improved grazing distribution; increased stocker cattle
gains; improved wildlife habitat and survival of young; faster development of newly seeded
grasses and provides reduced
wildfire hazardous.
Calling All Coyotes
rescheduled for Feb. 17
Frontier Extension District
will host a public meeting
Calling All Coyotes 7 p.m.
Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2016
at Celebration Hall on the
Franklin County Fairgrounds,
1737 South Elm, Ottawa. The
event is rescheduled from a
previous date.
Charlie Lee, K-State Wildlife
Damage Control Specialist, will
discuss coyote behavior and
biology, give tips on calling
coyotes, and will discuss how
to trap coyotes.
Native American folklore
describes the coyote as being a
savvy and clever beast. Today
coyotes show that savvy as they
have adapted to the changing
American landscape. Coyotes
once lived primarily in the
open prairies and deserts, but
now roam all of North America
including many cities. Coyotes
have adapted so well that their
population is believed to be at
an all time high.
These members of the dog
family will eat almost anything. They hunt rabbits, mice,
frogs and even deer. They
also will eat insects, snakes,
watermelon, tomatoes, and
other dead animals. The coyote reminds many of the old
west where the coyote sings
as evening turns to night. But
for farmers and ranchers the
coyote is often referred to as a
predator, as it is known to kill
lambs, calves, other livestock,
and even household pets.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, February 9, 2016
Jones congratulates area Eagle Scouts
Hello from our Capitol in
Topeka. It was my pleasure
last week to acknowledge 5
young men that accomplished
one of the most impressive and
foundational feats of any lifetime when they achieved the
honorable Eagle Scout in the
Boy Scouts of America. The
recipients of this prestigious
award were: Stephen Todd
Callow, Isaac Scott Kubacka,
and Aaron Paul Kubacka from
Anderson County, Peyton
Keith Fields from Osawatomie,
and Samuel Tyler Wood from
Central Heights. Eagle Scout
recipients have never ceased
to amaze me with knowledge &
competence in all of my leadership experiences in the church,
the military, in politics, and in
family. Good job!
Certificates along with letter
that was sent out to the Eagle
Scout Recipients
Dane Hicks from the
Anderson County Review
and Jackie Taylor of the
Linn County News came this
past week for Kansas Press
Association Day at the capitol.
We discussed an assortment
of topic that affects hometown
KANSAS
LEGISLATURE
By Kevin Jones,
House of Representatives,
5th District
news. Local chiropractor Dr.
Kristina Gibbons and Nancy
Ball came to the capitol and
discussed chiropractic issues
concerning concussions.
I want to give an update on
two contentious issues that we
lawmakers have dealt with this
week, but first a quick observation: With the introduction
of social media into the world
of politics, communication is
at-all-times just a swipe, tweet,
tag, text, post, comment, email,
Instagram, or message away.
Oh yeah, or phone call :) With
that, we hear stuff all the
time, but what is important
is who we actually listen
to. The question, Where did
you hear that? or Where did
that come from? is now more
important than ever. Even
more important is the integrity
of who we listen to.
Many of the posts and comments that I have seen lately
related to politics remind me
of the time I asked a friend,
whom I had not seen in a while,
When is your baby due?
Only to realize, in a horrifying moment, that her husband
– standing behind her – was
holding their newborn. My
humiliation and embarrassment was overwhelming, and
I still cringe at the recollection
no matter how many years it
has been. Now, I try to get the
whole picture before posting &
tweeting, especially in politics.
If not, its just conjecture &
hearsay & gossip, and it hurts
instead of helping.
Bills are written with the
best of intentions by legislators
and are ultimately presented
to the committees for consideration. But rarely does a bill
complete the process without
some changes and – in some
cases – a total rewrite. Only
22% of the bills entered ever
become law in Kansas according to the latest research.
Therefore, when looking up
bills this early in the session,
do so with the understanding

frs
that if you see problems let
your legislator know so they
have that information during
the hearings and the possible
working of the bill.
The two bills that were
given a whole lot of attention
this past week was HB2504
dealing with realigning Kansas
school districts, and HCR 5005
which would allow you to vote
on how Supreme Court Judges
are selected.
The original idea and intention of HB2504 is to reduce the
overall administrative costs
of our Kansas education system by broadening the borders of each school district
to the county borders. This
would then put multiple school
groups in the same district
and supposedly save a significant amount of money. For
example, Garnett and Crest
schools would become within a single Anderson County
school district boundary. Tax
payer funded lobby groups &
media put out that it was a
consolidation bill so as to get
attention; which it did. At the
packed hearing on Wednesday,
I asked the revisor (lawyer)
daily that this measure would
have given the Governor
the choice. When I think the
Governor I immediately think
Sam Brownback because he is
our current Kansas Governor.
The truth is Brownback would
have most likely never gotten
to use this measure. This is
not a question of monarchy;
this is a question of democracy. Kansas is the ONLY state
that uses its current model
for selecting Supreme Court
Judges and for a bad reason.
Regardless of who our current
governor & judges are, fundamentally it is not democratic; we the people of Kansas do
not get to choose. Instead a
small very small group of
lawyers gets to choose who our
future governor will put on our
Kansas Supreme Court. Thats
scary.
Also, retention is a non-argument for democracy. Retention
is our current justification for
a very non-democratic process. A few years ago, Kansas
retained a dead Judge. How
is that even possible? I voted
yes so that each of you all
of Kansas – could decide.
that helped write the bill if this
meets the definition of consolidation, and he responded
slowly that it would be more
like realignment to laughs
from the audience. The truth
is, the bill was just being heard
in a House Committee. It was
not being voted on. The bill
would have to be narrowly
written or greatly amended to
cleanly accomplish the intent,
and even then the savings seem
sketchy. I do not believe the
bill will even get worked in
committee. That being said,
I do like the idea of reducing
overall administrative costs,
especially when I have a teacher tell me she spent $2000 out of
her own pocket on classroom
supplies last year.
The second bill (or resolution) HCR5005 would resolve
that the people of Kansas vote
to re-determine how Supreme
Court Judges are chosen. A
yes vote simply sends it
before you on the ballot. The
vote had a very strong majority
of Kansas voting for it 69Y54N, but sadly not enough for
a constitutional majority (84Y).
