Cornstock cancellation 2.0
Covid, crummy
weather make 3rd year
without local festival
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT What do Cornstock
21, this years Kentucky Derby
and Japans Olympic Games
have in common?
Theyre all cancelled or at
least put into the maybe column for later this year.
Cornstock
organizers
announced last year they
were pulling the plug on the
September event for the second
year in a row.
As all of us were hoping
that 2021 would allow us to
have a normal music festival,
there is just no way to ensure
that at this time or in the near
future, said Anderson County
Corn Festival President Gina
Witherspoon. Be assured we
are already in the process of
making plans for 2022.
Organizers last year had
booked Granger Smith, Sawyer
Brown and the Read Southhall
Band for the event which was
cancelled in late June after
the virus began to scare other
festivals and live music venues around the country into
closing in mid-March. Earlybird tickets had already been
sold for Cornstock at $30 apiece
and were refunded along with
vendor fees and sponsor donations. The cancellation was a
particularly bitter pill after the
2019 event was cancelled due to
a soggy summer and fall and
gnarly weather forecasts for
the day of the event.
Cornstocks cancellation
joins hundreds of other music
festivals, tours and live performances to have been cancelled
or postponed since the beginning of Covid, not to mention
other performance cancellations at bars, nightclubs, concerts and other privately-organized events. Live Nation,
a U.S. live music promoter,
Stewards of the soil
Federal program made
care for farmland a given
for two local generations
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT It took years for the
soil conservation movement of the
1920s to gain enough steam in the
U.S. to finally be written into public
policy in 1935. But it only took one
dust storm in 1934 blowing a deepening film of Colorado, Oklahoma
and Kansas farm ground all over
the streets of Washington, D.C., to
convince the U.S. Congress something had to be done.
Since then, education, expertise
and financial incentives enlisted
Anderson County farmers into a
literal army of American ag producers in a common quest: to protect
and maximize the natural resources
inherent in American farm ground
to keep America fed and farmers solvent. In Anderson County the local
soil conservation effort spawned 74
years of farmers who paid attention to soil loss, and the work and
measures required to protect their
valuable farmland.
Today, even amid a pandemic
that put the kibosh to this years
annual banquet and award event
that recognizes the effort of a handful of those conservators every year,

Vaccination clinic
set for Wednesday
at county fairgrounds
GARNETT The Anderson
County Health Department
will partner with AuBurn
Pharmacies to stage the first
public vaccination clinic in the
local area since the pandemic
began. Rebecca
Johnson,
director of the Southeast
Kansas Multi-County Health
Department, said yesterday
the local pharmacy company
would be staffing the inoculation center, which will be held
Wednesday from 9 a.m.-12 p.m.
at the Fairgrounds Community
Building in Lake Garnett Park.
The shots will be reserved
for Anderson County residents
age 85 and older. Johnson said
if vaccine runs out before this
group is completed, another
clinic would be announced to
finish the age group when vaccine becomes available.
The clinic is part of the
states Phase 2 inoculation
plan aimed at elderly and high
risk individuals, including
as-yet unvaccinated healthcare
workers and Long Term Care
residents.
Johnson urged participants
not to begin to line up any earlier than hour prior to 9 a.m.
If traffic is backed up, staff
and volunteers will not be able
to get to the clinic site to set up
and deliver vaccine, Johnson
said in a press release. Lining
up early will cause significant
delays.
She said signs would be
posted with directions, including designating one-way traffic
flow.
Other requirements:
Masks are required at the
vaccination site. Please wear a

Plea deal may
be focus in
local sex case
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A negotiated plea agreement
will likely be at the center of a February
court hearing for a 45 year-old Garnett
man facing sex charges involving 14 yearold teenager from the church where he
was youth pastor.
Melvin J. Gray will be in Anderson
County District Court
February 23 for what
would have been the
date for his preliminary
hearing after his arrest
in connection to a series
of incidents occurring in
September and October
2020. Gray also faces
separate charges in
Gray Franklin County related
to the same individual.
Sources close to the case in Anderson
County say a plea deal is under negotiation.
A probable cause statement written by
the investigating officer from the Garnett
Police Department to support a warrant
for Grays arrest said Gray and the teen
had been involved in a relationship for
about two months when officers were
contacted in the early morning hours of
October 17 to interview the girl.
Probable cause statements are allegations against the subject, not yet proven
in court, and are neither an admission nor
pronouncement of guilt in the case.
In the statement, the teen told officers

Land Bank concept debated for merits,
threat of local government overreach
Debate highlights
difference in opinions
about government role
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A discussion
about formation of a city land
bank at a recent city commission meeting illuminated a difference in philosophies among
city commissioners regarding the role of government in
property development.
Newly-elected junior commissioner Cody Gettler, who
also serves on the Anderson
County Development Agency
committee, pitched the proposal to the commission to reconsider the land bank concept
which commissioners had
discussed a number of times
since 2017 but had never pursued. Gettler said members of
ACDA had endorsed the concept as a means of conveying
derelict properties into private hands for development
in a quicker and less complicated way than waiting for
a county tax sale, and that
he supported the idea and
wanted to make it a priority
for the commission.
A land bank allows a
governmental unit to take
ownership of a tax delinquent property and waive
both back taxes and concurrent obligations until it
can be conveyed to a third
party with plans to develop it. Parameters allow the

Dont join the
double-minded
There is one element that has
to be in place for any church to
be effective and grow. It has to
be unified. Unity is defined as
oneness, harmony, agreement.
Unity was apparent on the day
of Pentecost when the believers
were all with one accord in one
place. There is perfect unity in
the Trinity. Father, Son and
Holy Spirit, three in person but
one in essence. Essence meaning the indispensable quality of
something that determines its
character. There is no disharmony within the Trinity. The
Father, Son and Holy Spirit are
of one mind.
The church is a unity in
diversity, a fellowship of faith,
hope and love that binds people
together. One might ask how
could such a diverse group as a
church be brought into unity?
When the New Testament church
was at its peak it was scattered
abroad by persecution. It took
this diverse group of people to
carry the church forward. There
are no cookie cutter Christians
just believers who are willing
to place Jesus Christ above all
of their selfish attitudes. James
called those people who could
not be part of a unified cause
double-minded, a person who has
two souls and thus of no value to
either side.
Peter in his famous message
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
at Pentecost was asked by the
people at the end of his message,
What shall we do? Peter replied
to them repent and be baptized
everyone of you in the name of
Jesus Christ for the forgiveness
of sins. Today the church is
divided by double-minded people
over issues that are fueled by selfish attitudes. There is a strong
element in the church that wants
to turn the church against herself
by focusing on everything but
repent and be baptized. That is
the issue for the church, not the
political agenda that the world
would like to present. When we
as a church lose track of this one
directive Peter gave us we have
joined the double-minded, having
neither a heart for Jesus nor the
world.
Ministry on the Holiness of God.

OPINION
Iowa: Ready to rock n roll
Of all the things Kansans might have believed,
Iowa being more hip wouldnt have been one of
them.
But there she was on Friday Iowa Governor
Kim Reynolds citing the drop in Iowas active
Covid-19 case count and rescinding the states
mask order while dropping the mandated size
limitations on both indoor and outdoor gatherings just in time for Superbowl Sunday.
It was a fiscal CPR move that meant the survival of hundreds of bars and restaurants in the
state just in time for all those orders of beers and
nachos and buffalo chicken wings and another
really, really bad halftime show. The new and
long-awaited message: Iowa is open for business.
But the optimism across the state was brimming even weeks and months before. Live music
venues and sponsoring organizations in Iowa
charged forth with their spring and summer
show and festival schedules, bolstered apparently by the falling number of live cases in the state
since mid-November and the roll out of vaccine.
They may have even taken a cue from the newly-elected President, who at the end of January
fudged his campaign pledge to thwart the virus
and conceded there was nothing that could be
done to change the trajectory of the virus.
If nothing could be done about it anyway and
cases were down and vaccine was in the pipeline
to mainstreet, the rest seemed like basic logic.
Iowa was ready to party.
Beckster Fest June 4-6 in Amana go; Des
Moines Art Festival June 25-27 on; Backbone
Bluegrass Festival in Strawberry Point July
23-25 roger that. Even this weekends Midwest
Sled Fest on the frozen shallows of Clear Lake is
coming off as planned.
Governor Reynolds no doubt understands the
financial hardships the businesses of her state
have endured since the Covid-19 shell game of
fear and guilt science began. And all in those
communities where these spring, summer and
fall music festivals are happening, folks know
full well what those events bring to their towns
and localities. Its not just in dollars and cents
its in morale and hope and the belief that, yeah,
they really are going to see this mess through to
the other side.
Thats something they call leadership. But in
Kansas, unfortunately, weve had no such leadership from our governors office. Its the difference between fostering a Can Do as opposed to
a Lockdown attitude.
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
Kansas Governor Laura Kellys approach has
been short-sighted, based on some imaginary
assumption that somehow the federal government was going to jump up and save thousands
of businesses she shut down by virtue of an
executive order at the beginning of the pandemic. She preferred draconian statewide mandates
to a legitimate assessment of contagion on a
local basis, and her executive in charge of the
states public health policy actually falsified presentation graphs to support her contention that
wearing masks had an affect on case counts.
To their credit, Republican legislators came
to the states aid subsequent to Kellys lockdown
with the option for counties to set their own policies and either embrace or shun her mandates.
The result has left a patchwork of inconsistency
across the state in terms of what you can do,
where you can do it, and what the rules really
are at any specific location.
In short, Kelly tried her best to tie the hands of
local officials and make them wholly dependent
on her directions. It was a horrible approach,
and one that shook the confidence of and flatout scared local officials, business owners and
in this case musical festival and other event
organizers in communities all across the state.
The losers? Not just the states entertainment
and other industries, but the small towns looking forward to a little bit of fun and a little bit
of business with their annual Squash Queen
contest, or what have you.
So for Kansans and their towns yearnnig to
have some fun the next few months, its still
pretty much a big goose egg. At least Iowas not
that far away. ###

Hicks, youre such a moron. Why dont you
move down to Florida so you can kiss that
lying Trumps butt some more? Moving from
Facebook for restriction of free speech? You
want to go somewhere you can lie about an
election fraud and lie about this and lie about
that like you Republicans do. Youre not fooling
anybody. You just need another place to spew
your hate and lies. Goodbye to you.
To the person that thinks Christians are the
only ones that need to accept the fact that
Trump lost, I will tell you it doesnt take a
belief in God to recognize Trump did not lose.
For instance if your child was a homecoming
candidate and lost and it was then proved that
thousands more kids voted against your kid

Biden moves to normalize radicalism
For four years, we were informed by our
establishment media that President Donald
Trumps behavior was not normal. The
abnormality of Trumps behavior became a
near rallying cry for the self-appointed heroes
of journalism, who spent every waking hour
poring over his bizarre tweets and his bloviating self-absorption. The media dedicated
themselves to preventing Trumps supposed
normalization.
Now, the media inform us, we have been
graced by the most normal normal person to
have ever normalled: President Joe Biden.
Biden, they proclaim, is utterly boring, nondescript, barely worthy of coverage. His administration, too, is paradigmatically normal.
Yascha Mounk of The Atlantic tweets, It is
so nice to have a boring President. Alleged
media watchdog Brian Stelter asked this week
whether Biden is making the news boring
again, adding, The Biden White House is
clearly a break from the chaos and incompetence of Trump world.
For his part, Biden obviously revels in this
sort of coverage. This week, his favorite ice
cream flavor (chocolate chip) was tweeted out
as well as a retweet of first lady Jill Bidens
announcement that Champ and Major, the
new first pets, had entered the White House.
On a personal level, Biden is clearly more
normal than Trump although treating
Biden, a career politician worth nearly $10
million, as the height of normality is rather stunning. The goal for the establishment
media isnt to point out merely that Biden is
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
BEN SHAPIRO, THE DAILY WIRE
a sort of American Everyman. Its to use that
supposed normalcy to disguise the fact that
his agenda is absolutely abnormal.
The dirty little secret of the Trump administration is that despite Trumps personal
abnormality, his agenda was well in line
with past precedent, and with mainstream
American opinions on everything from taxes
to military policy. Trump did not radically
shift American policy. Biden will.
Within the first five days of his presidency, he issued 30 executive orders, compared
with four for Trump, five for Barack Obama
and zero for George W. Bush. Those executive orders included endorsement of radical
reinterpretation of American history; killing the Keystone XL pipeline, along with
its attendant estimated 11,000 American jobs;
forcing the military to allow troops to undergo
gender reassignment surgery; and forcing federally funded institutions to allow biological
men who identify as transgender to compete
alongside biological women, among others. He
is reportedly pursuing an immigration plan
directed toward reopening Americas borders.
He has staffed his Cabinet by intersectional
box-checking.
Bidens policy is indeed radical. But because
Biden is presented as a normal person, were
supposed to ignore all of that. Were supposed
to simply be grateful for the return to normalcy complete with caving to the teachers unions that seek to keep schools closed
indeterminately, reentering a long-dead deal
with the Iranian theocracy, firing government
staffers with whom he disagrees and lying
openly about the vaccine distribution plan he
inherited.
Meanwhile, our media pat themselves on the
back. Its rare to see a profession declare itself
irrelevant, but thats what many in the media
are doing these days. According to Stelter,
its refreshing that Bidens team promises
accountability and transparency. According
to Margaret Sullivan of The Washington Post,
the media must learn their lesson from the
Trump era and cover Democrats more sycophantically.
Joe Biden may be a relatively normal guy.
But none of this is normal. And pretending it
is represents just another way for the media to
reject legitimate criticisms of an administration seeking radicalism right off the bat.
Ben Shapiro is co-founder of The Daily Wire
Congress gives up authority to executive orders
President Joe Biden has proved that, if
nothing else, he has a pen and a phone.
According to The Economist, he signed
more executive orders in his first two days
than President Donald Trump signed in nearly his first two months.
And he was just getting started.
Republicans have no standing to complain
about Bidens spate of unilateral measures,
given they were fine with Trump using exactly
the same means. But that presidents of both
parties govern this way doesnt make it better
— it makes it worse.
Some executive actions starkly usurp congressional authority, while others are firmly
within the executives ambit. Yet the sheer
amount of activity that presidents undertake
on their own isnt in keeping with the spirit of
our constitutional system.
The presidency has overawed a legislative
branch that is only too willing to sign over
power and responsibility. Congress has been
an eager participant in its own neutering.
James Madison thought the legislature
would be insatiable, steadily accumulating
power. Instead, it is the least self-respecting
branch, led by people who identify with the
interests of presidents and their own parties
over and above the interests of their own institution.
This means that Congress is essentially cut
out of the action on important questions of
national policy.
Obama blocked the Keystone XL pipeline,
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
Trump blessed it, and Biden blocked it again.
Obama took us into the Paris climate accord,
Trump took us out, and Biden is taking us
back in.
Consider what Biden did on his own the
other day. He directed the Interior Department
to stop new oil and gas leases on federal land
and to identify steps to double renewable energy production by 2030.
He created a special presidential envoy
for climate, as well as a White House Office
of Domestic Climate Policy, a National
Climate Task Force, a Civilian Climate Corps
Initiative, an Interagency Working Group
on Coal and Power Plant Communities and
Economic Revitalization, a White House
Environmental Justice Interagency Council,
and a White House Environmental Justice
Advisory Council.
On top of this, he established a Justice
Initiative to steer 40% of relevant federal
investments to disadvantaged communities.
And on the seventh day, Biden rested (after
tucking his pen back in his pocket).
If Congress had passed a bill doing all this,
itd be considered a pretty active day. Instead,
Congress stood on the sidelines … and commented.
Im proud that President Biden is announcing a slew of executive actions on climate,
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer
tweeted.
Schumers only complaint is that Biden
isnt doing more on his own authority.
This is the same Chuck Schumer who has
been a legislator since 1975 when he took a
seat in the New York State Assembly, who has
been in Congress since 1981 and the Senate
since 1999, and who ascended to majority leader about a week ago, representing the apex of
a national legislative career.
And yet Schumer has urged Biden to
declare a national climate emergency because
it would allow him to do things without legislation.
This would be like Chief Justice John
Roberts giving Biden advice on how to pack
the Supreme Court — except its unimaginable
that a Supreme Court justice would be so
SEE LOWRY ON PAGE XX
would be good with that, right? Right is right
and wrong. Trump 2020.
Garnett has spent the last 20 years spending economic development money and has not landed
a single new business or drummed up anything
but government jobs that cost more tax money.
Sewing factory gone. Furniture factory gone.
Phone company gone. Astro plant gone. Put
your economic development person on cost
of living raise, have them start cold calling
businesses every day to see what it would take
to get them to move to Garnett. Youll get a
thousand turn downs but at least wed have
our bait in the water. If she gets one that really
comes to Garnett with x number of jobs, give
her a $25,000 or $50,000 bonus. Quit dilly-dallying Garnett and get serious. Either act like its
important or stop wasting the money. Thank
you.
Just like government loves to do, the Congress
is going to impeach Trump again because they
dont want to have to admit to the American
people that they cant or wont do their jobs, so
theyre going to impeach him to hide the fact
that they cant do their jobs. They impeached
him once and didnt have any evidence. Uh-oh,
innocent. Theyre impeaching him this time
and dont have any evidence. Uh-oh, innocent
again. I wonder what theyre going to impeach
him for next year when they still havent did
their jobs? Thank you.

bins last fall at his location near 4th Avenue and U.S. 169 in Garnett. Barnes said the expansion in
capacity as well as the recent addition of upgraded seed treatment facilities will reduce seed handling
as well as boost efficiency to minimize seed treatment and loadout time when this years planting season comes on.

This is a particular congressional disease. As Yuval Levin
of the American Enterprise
Institute wrote in an essay
for Commentary magazine,
Congress has been delegating
its authority to the executive
branch for some time. Whats
new is that partisanship has
created a loyalty for members
of Congress that transcends
their attachment to Congress
itself, while more and more
members consider their office
merely a platform to get attention.
Congress is weak and dys-
functional because that suits
its members, Levin writes. It
could renew itself only if its
members wanted such renewal.
All indications are that, no, it
is perfectly content to be supplanted by the pen and phone.

Waiting for Someday
Greg Doering, Kansas Farm Bureau
I recently cleaned out my sock drawer,
an overdue task that I hadnt reached the
appropriate level of boredom to tackle
in a number of years. It also served as
a reminder that Im absolutely terrible
at estimating just how useful a range of
items will be in the future.
The top drawer of the walnut chest
where my socks reside also has a habit
of collecting an assortment of other items
loose change, notes on scraps of paper,
cable clamps, buttons, stray ammunition
that either fell from the flat surface
above or were temporarily stored for
later.
Theres also a closet, basement, garage,
shed and the center console of my truck
holding valuable artifacts of various usefulness. I know Im not alone in this affliction because the desire to stow away has
a cherished history in my family. The
paternal side at least.
If we had a family crest, Im going to
use that someday, would be the motto
imprinted on it. I should note its entirely
possible there is a crest stuffed in the bottom of a box somewhere just waiting to be
rediscovered.
At the ranch, there were two very useful storage areas. The first was a set of
cubbies inside that held maybe a ton of
washers, nuts, bolts and other odds and
ends. The lack of organization didnt make
it efficient, but if you needed a connecter,
youd find a suitable one eventually. Out
back was the scrap pile of old oil pipe and
steel plate that came in handy for all sorts
of building and repair projects.
Upstairs was another story, however.
The loft was stuffed with the maybe someday stuff stockpiled with leaner times in
mind. Tires that had long since dry rotted,
rusted rims, a crosscut saw with broken
handles and other outdated tools.
I know those items were squirreled
away with the best of intentions. On farms
and ranches, it makes a good deal of sense
to have a stockpile when the nearest hardware store is an hour roundtrip. The number of things that can go wrong is nearly
limitless.
My hoarding habits are more about
learned behavior than utility. Living in a
50-year-old home means I frequent the two
nearby hardware stores enough to have
memorized their layouts. Its usually faster to find a given item at the store than it
is to search my basement, garage or shed.
Theres a different satisfaction that
comes from completing a project with that
one item you saved long ago for the right
occasion. Its proof you were right. For
me, though, thats become an infrequent
occurrence.
I dont know precisely when something
in storage loses its intended purpose and
becomes junk, but I know it happens
without warning. The rational part of me
understands I should save far less stuff
and significantly reduce the time I spend
cleaning up clutter in the future.
After discarding a significant amount
of junk from my sock drawer, including several actual pairs of socks, I still
slid two aging cellphones into my dresser
drawer. Everything of value on them has
been transferred to my current phone, but
each one would work if I really needed a
replacement.
Will I ever use them again? Not likely.
But theyre there if I want to use them
someday.

Thank you.
After hearing about the economic development request for a raise, I ask that
our commissioners both county and city
do their homework and see where she
got her numbers. Was it from a larger community? Had they worked there
longer? Did they show any growth in
the community? To my knowledge from
what I understand our economic development director has worked for Anderson
County for three years. I dont know
about you but I have seen no new business, Ive seen no new jobs. I think our
money would be better spent on our roads
and infrastructure.

RICHMOND – A disappointing
loss last Tuesday to Uniontown
will haunt the Central Heights
Vikings as they knew they
let the game slip away, losing
51-45.
Central Heights started off
well with a 17-15 lead after the

But unfortunately for the
host team, the Vikings would
score just 14 second half points
and Uniontown would counter
with 12 points in the third and
15 more in the fourth quarter to
pull off the victory.
Bones led Central Heights
with 14 points and Rowan was

Uniontown jumped out early,

Lady Vikings settled down in the
second quarter and chipped away
slightly setting themselves up for a
possible upset despite being down
22-15 at halftime.
The visitors would have nothing
to do with a possible upset, dominating the third quarter 15-3 to put
the game out of reach heading into
the fourth quarter with a 37-18 lead.

STEWARDS…
FROM PAGE 1
Chief of SCS, to awaken public concern for the problem of
soil erosion. Bennett became
aware of the threat posed by
the erosion of soils early in
his career as a surveyor for
the USDA Bureau of Soils. He
observed how soil erosion by
water and wind reduced the
ability of the land to sustain
agricultural productivity and
to support rural communities
who depended on it for their
livelihoods. He launched a
public crusade of writing and
speaking about the soil erosion
crisis. His highly influential
1928 publication Soil Erosion:
A National Menace influenced
Congress to create the first federal soil erosion experiment
stations in 1929.
With the election of Franklin
D. Roosevelt as President in
1932, conservation of soil and
water resources became a
national priority in the New
Deal administration. The
National Industrial Recovery
Act (P.L. 73-67) passed in June
1933 included funds to fight soil
erosion. With this money, the
Soil Erosion Service (SES) was
established in the Department
of Interior with Hugh Bennett
as Chief in September 1933.
SES established demonstration
projects in critically eroded
areas across the country to
show landowners the benefits
of conservation.
Perhaps no event did more
to emphasize the severity of
the erosion crisis in the popular imagination than the
Dust Bowl. Beginning in
1932, persistent drought conditions on the Great Plains
caused widespread crop failures and exposed the regions
soil to blowing wind. A large
dust storm on May 11, 1934
swept fine soil particles over
Washington, D.C. and three
hundred miles out into the
Atlantic Ocean. More intense
and frequent storms swept
the Plains in 1935. On March
6 and again on March 21, dust
clouds passed over Washington
and darkened the sky just as
Congress commenced hearings
on a proposed soil conservation
law. Bennett seized the opportunity to explain the cause of
the storms and to offer a solution. He penned editorials and
testified to Congress urging for
the creation of a permanent
soil conservation agency.
On April 27, 1935 Congress
passed Public Law 74-46, in
which it recognized that the
wastage of soil and moisture
resources on farm, grazing,
and forest lands . . . is a menace to the national welfare,
and it directed the Secretary
of Agriculture to establish
the Soil Conservation Service
(SCS) as a permanent agency in the USDA. In 1994,
Congress changed SCSs name
to the Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS)
to better reflect the broadened
scope of the agencys concerns.
After 1935, SCS expanded its soil conservation program nationwide with a several-fold increase in the number of demonstration projects.
Labor provided by the Civilian
Conservation Corps (CCC), the
Civil Works Administration
(CWA), and the Works Progress
Administration (WPA) supported this work. SCSs
technical experts worked to
advance scientific understanding of erosion processes and
to develop effective conservation practices. SCSs network
of regional nurseries selected
and increased the seeds and
plants necessary for conservation work.
In 1936, the agency assumed
responsibility for performing
surveys and devising flood control plans for selected watersheds under the authority of
the Flood Control Act of 1936
(P.L. 74-738). In 1938, in a major
reorganization of USDAs land
management program, the
3B
LOCAL
Secretary of Agriculture made
SCS responsible for administering the Departments drainage and irrigation assistance
programs, the snow survey
and water supply forecasting
program, as well as the Water
Facilities, Land Utilization,
and Farm Forestry programs.
The addition of these responsibilities made SCS the USDAs
lead private lands conservation
agency.
As early as 1935 USDA managers began to search for ways
to extend conservation assistance to more farmers. They
believed the solution was to
establish democratically organized soil conservation districts to lead the conservation
planning effort at the local
level. To create a framework
for cooperation, USDA drafted the Standard State Soil
Conservation Districts Law,
which President Roosevelt sent
to the governors of all the states
in 1937. The first soil conservation district was organized in
the Brown Creek watershed of
North Carolina on August 4,
1937. Today, there over three
thousand conservation districts across the country.
The decade after World War
II was a time of growth for SCS.
Congress increased appropriations for soil conservation
programs. The Secretary made
SCS the lead agency responsible for technical oversight
of the permanent type conservation measures installed
with cost-share funds under
the Agricultural Conservation
Program (ACP). During this
time the number of soil conservation districts continued to
increase, as did the number of
cooperators working with SCS
to develop conservation plans
for their farms.
Hugh Bennett stepped-down
as Chief in 1951 and retired
from federal service in 1952.
The same year Secretary of
Agriculture Charles Brannan
unified USDA soils works when
he merged the Soil Survey
into SCS. Brannan also transferred most of SCSs research
activities to the Agricultural
Research Service and gave the
Forest Service responsibility
for administering SCSs Land
Utilization Projects. In 1953, as
part of a major reorganization
of the USDA, SCSs regional
offices were eliminated and the
technical role of state offices
was enhanced. At this time,
SCSs nurseries relinquished
their plant production role,
but continued to select plants
for conservation uses at Plant
Materials Centers.
Perhaps the most important development in the PostWar era came with passage of
the Watershed Protection and
Flood Control Act (P.L. 84-566)
in 1954. Watershed planning
has been an important part
of the agencys mission since
the 1930s. Hugh Bennett recognized that successful soil and
water conservation required
addressing resource concerns
at the watershed scale. SCS
organized its early demonstration projects on a watershed basis. With passage of
the Flood Control Act of 1936,
SCS began watershed investigations to determine the most
effective methods to control
erosion and prevent floods. The
Flood Control Act of 1944 (PL
78-534) authorized SCS to begin
work on its first eleven watershed projects. The Agricultural
Appropriations Act of 1953
(P.L. 83-156) authorized an
additional 63 projects. With the
support of President Dwight
D. Eisenhower, Congress gave
SCS permanent watershed planning authority with passage of
the Watershed Protection and
Flood Prevention Act (P.L.
84-566). Since 1944, SCS, now
NRCS, has constructed nearly 11,000 dams on some 2,000
watershed projects that continue to provide flood control,
water supplies, recreation, and
wildlife habitat benefits.
With arrival of another prolonged drought in the 1950s
Congress passed the Great
Plains Conservation Program
which focused financial assistance for conservation in the
Plains states. SCS provided
financial and technical assistance to meet multiple objectives of conservation and economic stability. During this
period, SCS also began to provide technical assistance for
the Soil Bank Program which
paid rental payments for
retired cropland and provided
financial incentives to farmers
for planting protective cover
crops.
In the 1960s, under the
Kennedy and Johnson administrations, SCSs role expanded to address new concerns in
the countryside in the cities.
The agency began to emphasize rural development and
recreation as conservation
planning objectives. Creation
of the Resource Conservation
and Development program
(RC&D) in 1962 allowed SCS
to work with landowners in
areas larger than small watersheds or conservation districts
to develop long term economic development plans for the
entire project area. SCS also
began to focus on providing
recreational benefits with its
projects. SCS also began to
become more involved in suburbanizing areas where farmland was being developed as
commercial and residential
areas. These initiatives were
part of a broader effort by the
USDA to extend its services
to all of American not just the
parts that live in rural areas or
engage in production agriculture.
The 1960s and 1970s was a
time of broad popular concern
about the health of the environment. Expressed most prominently in the first Earth Day
demonstration in 1970, these
concerns led to the creation
of a national framework of
environmental policies during
that changed the way SCS put
conservation on the ground.
The National Environmental
Policy Act (P.L. 91-190), signed
into law in 1970 by President
Richard Nixon, required federal agencies to evaluate and
report on the environmental
impacts of their activities.
Water quality and non-point
source pollution became
important areas of concern
with passage the Federal Water
Pollution Control Amendments
(P.L. 92-500) in 1972 and the
Clean Water Act (P.L. 95-217)
in 1977. The protection of wetlands emerged as critical issue
with SCS participation in the
Water Bank program, which
provided incentives to landowners to protect wetland habitat.
During the 1970s, SCS
also gained greater authority to monitor and assess the
nations natural resource
base. Congress authorized the
National Resources Inventory
(NRI) in the Rural Development
Act of 1972 (P.L. 92-419) to better
understand the implications
of land use changes for soil
erosion. The Soil and Water
Resources Conservation Act of
1977 (P.L. 95-192) extended this
authority and required USDA
to regularly report to Congress
on the condition of the soil and
water resources on non-federal
lands as part of a process for
developing more effective conservation policies and laws.
The farm crisis of the 1980s
created an opening for the
implementation of innovative
conservation policies developed as part of the Resource
Conservation Act (RCA) process. The Food Security Act
of 1985 (P.L. 99-198), with its
Sodbuster, Swampbuster, and
Highly Erodible Lands provisions, made conservation a
prerequisite for participation
in USDA programs. It also

HISTORY
Artifact find reminds of childhood story 2001: Caseys reopens after accidental
flooding closes store for 6 weeks
DIGGING UP THE PAST
Henry Roeckers
Call (785) 504-4722 for
local archeology information.
For this weeks column, I
want to share this photo of
only four artifacts found at my
latest site.
1. Clay Marble
2. CHEROKEE Button
3. Marked Sterling Silver ??
4. Frozen Charlotte Doll
What I want to dwell on is
the tiny Frozen Charlotte doll
and her history. There are
those of you who heard or read
the story of this doll, but then
there are many of you that havent. So here it is!!
CHARLOTTE
History of this doll. Many
believe the story surrounding this tiny figure to be true.
In 1883, a young woman,
Charlotte, left her home to go
to a New Years Eve Ball with
her suitor, Charles. As she settled into his open sleigh for the
15 mile journey, her mother
handed her a woolen blanket
for warmth. Charlotte refused
the blanket, saying it would
wrinkle her silken gown.
Charlotte and Charles were
soon gliding across the snow as
starlight flashed above through
the forest canopy. With numb
hands, Charles fought to maintain the reins, and Charlotte
spoke briefly of being exceedingly cold. As the miles passed,
ice formed on Charles brow,
while Charlotte, with a weak
voice exclaimed Im growing warmer now. The horses
continued until the lights of
the ballroom at last came into
view. The sleigh had barely
halted when Charles stepped
down and turned to reach for
the hand of his beloved. Like
a statue, Charlotte remained
motionless. Charles took
her hand —-it was as cold as
the night. Charles carried
Charlottes lifeless body into
the ballroom. Kneeling beside
her, he cried mournfully and
later he died of a broken heart.
William Lorenzo Carter immortalized this tale through his
ballad FAIR CHARLOTTE
which was popular throughout the United States. Moms
and dads sang it to their children at bedtime, reminding
them If youll just wear your
coat and listen to your parents,
you wont end up like FAIR
CHARLOTTE.
By 1850 craftsman began
producing a variety of small
dolls known today to collectors
as Frozen Charlottes.
Everyone, treasure your
family history! The stories you
leave for your children are far
greater heritage than that silver teapot.

lished the Conservation
Reserve Program (CRP) to
provide rental payments to
farmers for putting cropland
into grass or trees. Another
important development during
this period was the widespread
adoption of conservation tillage practices, which has led to
a significant reduction in soil
erosion. SCS working with its
partners played a significant
role working to administer
these programs and develop
the necessary tools and technology to make these conservation innovations possible.
In a number of areas the
NRCS has participated in
what might be termed restoration projects to reverse
previous land, channel and
wetland alterations. In 1994
NRCS assumed management of
the Wetland Reserve Program
2×3 GSSB
which had been authorized in
the 1990 farm bill. Funds provided for restoration as well
as long-term or permanent
easements. SCS geologists and
landscape architects coordinated a Federal effort to produce a
Stream Corridor Restoration
manual. The manual placed
emphasis on use of vegetation
rather than structural works
for stream corridor restoration.
The Conservation Reserve
Program (CRP), authorized in
the 1985 farm bill, provided for
long-term (10-year) rentals of
cropland and establishment
of vegetation on the reserve
acres. In requiring vegetative
cover, the SCS placed great
emphasis on native species of
grass. The nurseries and plant
materials centers, which had
been selecting plants for conservation uses since the beginning of the agency, now put an
emphasis on selecting native

seeds and plants for use in prairie and wetland restoration.
They had also worked with the
National Park Service to select
and increase native seed and
plants for the National Parks.
In 1994, Congress initiated a major reorganization
of the USDA and renamed
SCS the Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS)
to better reflect the broad scope
of the agencys mission. These
changes marked the beginning
of two major trends that have
defined the Services role in
conservation since. The first is
NRCSs growing responsibility for administering financial
assistance for conservation
programs. The other increases
many times over in the amount
of financial assistance available for conservation. The
result over the last two decades
has been a proliferation of
innovation programs that give
conservationists and landowners the necessary means
to protect our nations natural
resources.
The Natural Resources
Conservation Service continues to fulfill the conservation
legacy established in 1935 by
Hugh Hammond Bennett even
as it adapts to changing concerns and takes on new respon-

it with several inches of water

At one time or another in
almost everyones life there is
a moment when that person
wants to be a clown and perform in front of a live audience. Through a special program of the Garnett Branch
of the American Association
of University Women, with
sibilities to address present
and future challenges. Through
decades of experience, SCS
and, now NRCS, has developed
numerous science-based tools
and standards in agronomy,
forestry, engineering, economics, wildlife biology and other
disciplines that local NRCS
field office conservationists
use in helping landowners
plan and install conservation
practices. NRCS professional
are guided by a conservation
philosophy instilled in the
Service from experience. This
is to assess the resources on the
land. Evaluate the conservation problems and opportunities. Look to different sciences
and disciplines for solutions.
Integrate all into a conservation plan for the whole property. Through implementing
conservation on individual
projects, contribute to the overall quality of life in the watershed or region. And, always
work closely with land users
so that the conservation plan
reconciles with their objectives. These principles have
served well as a foundation for
addressing conservation challenges now for seventy-five
years and will continue do so
in the future.

my mind claws back to reality
But my soul cries out to remain
Comfort & security holding frailly
Magner
As sight & sound reminds me of all my pain
Brashly existence assaults my senses
The lingering softness of you wisps away
My mind quickly tries to build fences
To hold the worlds assaults at bay
Existence without your solace
A nightmare I pray to abstain
Sight devoid of your face
Darkness would be found the same
