Drastic conservation
measures could be

BY VICKIE MOSS
GARNETT – Recent rain and
snow provided only minimal
help with an ongoing drought
that state officials warned is
likely to continue.
Cities and water districts
across the state have been asked
by Gov. Brownback to provide
detailed plans for water conservation if the drought continues. Brownback said Friday
he expected the Kansas farm
economy would be hard hit by
continued drought this year,
and urged farmers, ranchers
and communities to review their
water conservation plans.
Unless more rain is received
in the next few weeks, Garnett
officials may be forced to implement its plan, city manager
Joyce Martin said last week.

staff, but so far the citys plan for

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – The citys tourism committee came under
fire Tuesday, Jan. 8, on several
fronts when members asked for
nearly $10,000 to pay for new
brochures.
First, The Reviews publisher
asked why local vendors werent
considered for the project. Then,
commissioner Preston Peine
demanded to know how the committee justified the project and
wanted a detailed accounting of
what would be included in the
brochures and what the group
hoped to accomplish with them.
Finally, the other two commissioners said they would prefer
city staff produce the brochures
in-house.
A heated and lengthy discussion ensued. At one point,
a member of the citys tourism advisory committee called
Review publisher Dane Hicks

Peine, who was elected to
the commission in April 2012
on a campaign that included
improving the citys ability to

commission meeting Tuesday,
Jan. 8, he wanted to see staff

said, adding that most people

to begin live video streaming

it shouldnt take too much time

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Community supporters and
families came together in the past two
weeks to save an after-school program that
nearly was doomed before it even began.
After a news story was published in the
Review that a new after-school program
at the Garnett Recreation Center may not
continue unless more children signed up,
a series of events followed that likely will
save the program.
The program, which began last week,
initially had signed up only 12 children
when city staff and commissioners debated
whether it could sustain itself. Participants
must pay $35 per month to cover expenses,
and about 20 participants were needed to
meet that threshold. The lack of interest
was blamed on the cost of the program and
the fact that it was offered just four days a
week instead of five. Commissioners asked
city staff to go ahead with the program in
hopes that it would eventually gain enough
participants to pay for expenses.
After the story was published more children signed up for the program. An anonymous donor paid for supplies and snacks,
and the Garnett Foundation Board agreed
to pay participation fees for two children.
The program began Monday, Jan. 6 with
17 children. By Friday, another five had
signed up for a total of 22. In February, the
program will expand to five days a week,
and that change is expected to bring more
children as well.
Organizers have worked since enrollment in August to bring the after-school
program to USD 365, and the Garnett
Recreation Department agreed to oversee
it. Child advocacy groups like Big Brothers
Big Sisters said it became apparent at
enrollment that such a program was needed.

they were concerned about the

Peine initially asked to have his
proposals implemented within
90 days, Mayor Greg Gwin said
he didnt want to hold staff to
such a tight deadline.
Peine also suggested staff look
into finding a content management system, which would give
department leaders control over
uploading information to part of
the website and take some of the
burden off Wettstein. However,
such systems can be quite expensive. City staff agreed to look
into various systems, although
the city also is in the running for
a free system from one vendor.

DROUGHT…
FROM PAGE 1A
Cedar Valley Reservoir is
down about 3 feet, from 968 feet
down to 965. Lake Garnett (commonly referred to as the North
Lake) is down about 4 feet. The
city must keep levels consistent at Crystal Lake (a.k.a., the
South Lake) because of its proximity to the power plant.
So far, the city has not implemented water conservation
measures although staff last
summer asked people to voluntarily refrain from unnecessary outside watering like not
watering lawns or filling swimming pools. The closing of the
East Kansas Agri-Energy ethanol plant, which was the citys
largest water customer, also
reduced water demands.
But unless significant rains
are received this winter and
early spring, the city could be
forced to implement its conservation plan by March or April,
Martin said.
The plan includes three parts:
a water watch, a water warning
and a water emergency.
A water watch would be
implemented if the reservoir
levels are down 6 feet, if the
citys water storage capacity is
at 85 percent and if demand
exceeds 800 million gallons of
water per day. The demand currently is about 300 million gallons per day, Martin said. If a
water watch were implemented,
the city would curtail all outside watering and would more
carefully monitor its own usage,
like not flushing water hydrants
and not cleaning city streets.
Leaks will be repaired within
48 hours, although Martin
said water leaks generally are
repaired immediately.
A water warning would be
implemented if the reservoir
levels are down 8 feet, water
storage is below 50 percent and
if water supplies are are operated at 80 percent of capacity for
three days. In that case, water
levels will be monitored daily
and leaks repaired within 24
hours. The city would ask that
sites like football fields are not
watered, but could allow some
watering such as filling swimming pools on specific days.
Coin operated sites would be
restricted, such as the citys
coin operated wells used by
some county residents.
In a water emergency, reservoir levels would fall to 10
feet below normal and storage
levels would fall below 40 percent of capacity. All outdoor
watering would be banned, and
the city may need to talk with
water districts and perhaps find
alternate water sources.
Martin said it is difficult to
predict how water levels will
fall because it depends not only
on rainfall but also on usage.
Because it is winter, demand is
lower.
Last week, Brownback
declared a drought emergency
in all 105 Kansas counties and
approved opening state fishing
lakes to communities and farmers in need of water.
Although all communities
are facing water woes, Garnett
actually is in a better position
thanks to the foresight of its
leaders in the 1980s. At the
time, city leaders were facing
similar water conservation
steps because of drought. Just
before the harshest restrictions were put in place, a deluge
of rains broke the dry spell.
Even though drastic measures
had been averted, city leaders
decided to take proactive steps
which led to the creation of the
Cedar Valley Reservoir. Bond
payments on that construction
resulted in higher utility bills
for city residents, but the city
gained a 360 acre impoundment
of stored water.
Its a good thing they did, or
all wed have is the north lake.
Theres not a lot of water out
there, Martin said.
Aside from residential
water concerns, area livestock
producers also must consider
how to provide water for their
herds. Right now, thats the biggest issue facing farmers and
ranchers, K-State Extension
Agent Shannon Blocker said.
The USDA has ranked 77 percent of stock water supplies in
Kansas as short or very short.
So far, livestock producers have
been able to cope and she has
not heard of any producers
that have been forced to sell off
herds because of lack of water.
Still, the situation is precarious.
On the plus side, the drought
has given landowners the opportunity to clean out ponds, which
will help with future water supplies.
A Jan. 10 rain that dropped
less than half an inch of rain
was good for topsoil, but did
not provide much runoff to fill
ponds and other water supplies.
Soil in Anderson County typically holds moisture for about
two weeks.
If we could get a rain like we
did yesterday every two weeks
during the growing season, we
would hardly notice we were in
a drought, at least for for annual
crops, Blocker said Friday.

REMEMBRANCES
BROCHURES…
FROM PAGE 1A
ically easy-going Mayor Greg
Gwin was forced to take control
and bring order back to the discussion, and newly appointed
member Gordon Blackie – in
only his second meeting – displayed a knack for keeping people on track.
The local vendor question
Tourism committee member
Scott Rogers kicked things off
by explaining how the request
came about. City administrative assistant Susan Wettstein
was approached by an out-oftown vendor at a League of
Kansas Municipalities tourism conference. The vendor
presented a proposal to print
10,000, 32-page color brochures
for the city – the cost of the project would be a little less than
$10,000, but advertising could
be sold to reduce the citys cost.
The brochures would replace
the citys primary brochure,
which is about 10 years old and
fewer than 100 copies remain.
Dane Hicks, owner of Garnett
Publishing Inc., which publishes The Review and other products, asked why his company
and other local printers hadnt
been asked for proposals.
How many times does the
city get sold something by a
vendor outside our community
and doesnt know theres a local
vendor? Hicks asked.
Peine and others apologized
for leaving Hicks out.
I do feel remiss we didnt
even stop to ask the question,
is there anybody local who does
this. Honestly, it never even
crossed my mind. I see your
newspaper and I think thats
what you do, Peine said.
Its Garnett Publishing.
What do you think publishing
means? Hicks retorted.
At that point, tourism committee member Susan Caron
spoke up. Youve been so
against this committee, she
said, adding that Hicks had
written editorials against a
branding campaign to bring
new signs to the city to help
visitors find city attractions.
So thats the reason we
werent asked? Hicks asked.
He said he believed the city had
more important issues to deal
with than spending thousands
of dollars on signs.
You werent considered
because youre an enemy,
Caron responded. Your name
never came up because you
were so against us.
At that point, Gwin stopped
the back-and-forth between
Hicks and tourism commit-
tee members, and said it was
important for the city to consider proposals from other vendors.
Commissioners take a stand
Aside from the local vendor
issue, city commissioners had
plenty of questions about the
brochure.
Peine was the most vocal
in his objections. He said he
refused to vote for any brochure
proposal until he received a
detailed plan from the committee about their expectations, the
content of such a brochure, and
how the committee would measure its success. Although the
vendor promised to cut costs
with ad sales, there was no
way of knowing how much the
project would cost in the end
and commissioners must be
prepared to pay the full costs,
Peine said.
He added that it was reasonable to expect a clearly defined
plan before commissioners
approved spending up to $10,000
on a project.
Wettstein asked how to measure success or failure of a brochure. She said she took it personally because she created the
original brochure, and it was
good enough for the city for 10
years.
Its as if youre saying you
dont have faith in me or our
committee to do that again,
Wettstein said.
If you can do that, then
knock it out, Gwin countered.
Gwin and Blackie said they
would prefer to see the city
produce the brochure. It might
not look as glossy as the proposed brochure, but it could
be tweaked to meet the citys
changing needs. Blackie said
he had a problem with printing
10,000 copies of a brochure to
last 10 years; many aspects of
the city will change from year to
year, and he wanted a brochure
that could be flexible enough to
reflect those changes.
As the discussion continued,
tourism committee members
showed a variety of opinions on
the matter. Some were against
advertising in a brochure, saying it cluttered the message.
Some had opinions on how
much space should be allocated
to cities and events in other
parts of the county. In the end,
commissioners wanted more
time to consider other options.
Can we end this discussion
by saying we appreciate all
the time you put into it, even
though we havent arrived at a
decision? Blackie asked city
staff and tourism committee
members.

Peek into citys checkbook
might connect some local
sellers to government sales
The hub-bub created last week over
a plan by the Garnett Tourism Board
to print a $9,000 city/county tourism
brochure with a vendor from Salina
has prompted
the Review to
EDITORIAL
make a closer
examination of
city expenses
how much is
spent, for what
and with whom
hopefully for the
benefit of other
local businesses
who apparently
need to remind
city officials
by Dane Hicks,
from time to time
PUBLISHER
that we exist.
Obviously this newspaper, which
as most people know also provides any
variety of printing, publishing and marketing products in addition to advertising and news, had a stake in the debate
over printing the proposed brochure.
So did at least two other potential local
vendors who pay local taxes, local
utilities, shop with other local businesses and in some cases even collect
local sales tax. Neither this newspaper
nor any of the other local printers or
designers were ever contacted regarding the brochure project.
Theres a lot at play here. The
Review was told by one irate tourism
board member at the meeting that
our criticism of the citys branding
program was background for ill-feeling toward the newspaper. On that we
agree; it is the newspapers position
that with three plant closings, some 70
jobs lost in the past couple of years and
ongoing struggles and closures in the
retail community, that our town has
higher priorities than ornamental way
finding signs in front of local points of
interest. We are not alone in that criticism. The Review is also held responsible by some city staff for critical
comments made by callers to the Phone
Forum, apparently another reason the
paper is on the citys mud list. No
comments were forthcoming from the
meeting however as to why other local
vendors werent considered for the job.
Politics aside, city leaders have an
obligation to consider local vendors
for such projects and to keep the business local when practical. Local businesses, conversely, have the obligation
to advertise and promote themselves,
their wares and their abilities, to the
community so that their names have
top of mind awareness when the city
or any other customer for that matter
is in need of a product or service.
In the next few weeks, the Review
will be analyzing expenditures from
2012 from the city, local school district
and Anderson County as well. Space
wont allow us to chronicle every
expense in print, so well be looking at
the general picture and then posting
the actual records to our website so
local vendors or other members of the
public who want to read the details of
those expenditures and where the moneys currently being spent can do so.
Hopefully this peek into the checkbooks of our local governments will
provide some opportunities for local
vendors to connect with government
purchases and keep some business
local.

something in the paper theyve already
been done and gone with whatever

Take the hostage, a broken Washington
BY RICH LOWRY
NATIONAL REVIEW
The budget crisis is over. Long live the budget
crisis.
Now that the fiscal cliff has been resolved,
were on to the fight over raising the debt ceiling. President Barack Obama wants no part of
it. Immediately after Congress passed his tax
increases to avoid the cliff, he insisted that there
is no way hell negotiate over the debt ceiling.
That would be so inappropriate.
Cue the hostage-taking analogies, the talk of extremism,
the lamentations over a broken Washington. But why
is the president outraged
that someone would use the
leverage of an impending
event that would damage the
economy to his negotiating
advantage? Its precisely how
Lowry
he won on the cliff.
No one called him a hostage taker when he didnt immediately accept
the House Republican extension of all the Bush
tax cuts, and instead insisted on forcing a choice
between higher tax rates on the wealthy or going
off the cliff.
He got his way. Not because Republicans
wanted to raise taxes. But because taxes would
go up for everyone on Jan. 1, and very few people
(and no Republicans) wanted that to happen.
Obama used every ounce of his leverage to raise
taxes on as many people as he could — and succeeded. Congratulations.
Now that the leverage may work the other
way, Obama wants an end to all this crazy talk
of negotiating things and compromising. I will
not have another debate with this Congress
over whether or not they should pay the bills
that theyve already racked up, the president
bristled. He has apparently been an innocent
bystander while the national debt increased by
60 percent since he took office.
Weve hit the debt limit of $16.4 trillion, and it
will need to be extended in a couple of months.
When $16.4 trillion in debt isnt enough, youve
clearly got a problem. The president always says
that we need a balanced approach to address
it. In the cliff deal, he got one part of the balance.
What about the spending cuts that the president has said in the past should be a disproportionate share of any budget solution? Hes
not the least bit interested in those, except as a
rhetorical device. Which is why Republicans are
always in the position of trying to force him to
accept some sort of spending discipline.
In a better, more rational world, the debt limit
wouldnt be a tool of budgetary policy. But it is
one of the few must-pass pieces of legislation
that Republicans can use to force spending cuts,
and it obviously relates directly to our budget problem. If the president doesnt want the
debate over it to go nerve-wrackingly down to
the wire, he can set out a serious offer, now.
Of course, hes doing the opposite. His refusal
to negotiate isnt sustainable, but hell spend
precious time trying to sustain it. Hell finally
agree to talk, and then get Republicans to back
off whatever their maximal position is — because
Republicans will again fear being blamed if
theres no agreement. Another Band-Aid will be
applied to the debt, until next time. In the Age of
Obama, the new budget crisis always follows the
last.
Im just wondering why at the high
school we are not allowed to wear shirts
that show our middle, short shorts and
have anything written on our clothing
that is sexual, but the dance team can
wear these kind of clothes while standing in front of the entire school at a pep
rally and dance less than appropriately?
Thank you.
For those of you who missed the
Anderson County winter homecoming games Friday night in Garnett you
dont know what youre missing by not
coming out to watch these kids play.
Just as good as watching KU or K-State
and not near the money to get in. Better
come see them. Thank you.

Did judges overstep on education opinion?
Ever said something that, probably even before
the words reached the ear of your listener, you knew
was a mistake?
Like referring to your neighbors third spouse as
Three or maybe telling your blind date that shell
be able to recognize you at the caf or bar or WalMart because youll be wearing a Hawaiian shirt?
Well, what happens if you write it down and see it
published in an official public document available on
the Internet?
That might be what a three-judge panel did last
week when it chided the Kansas Legislature for not
spending as much money on financing elementary
and secondary education as it was ordered by the
Kansas Supreme Court in 2005 to spend.
The court seemed a dab sympathetic about the
recent recession reducing money for support of
elementary education.
But, then the judges opinion makes that Three
or Hawaiian shirt faux pas by linking the states
lack of funding for schools to the income tax cut that
is the trophy of conservative Republicans sitting in
the governors chair and the majority of chairs in the
Kansas House and Senate.
It appears to us the only certain result from
the tax cut will be a further reduction of existing
resources available and from a cause, unlike the
Great Recession which had a cause external to
by Martin Hawver
KANSAS STATEHOUSE COLUMNIST
Kansas, that is homespun, hence, self-inflected, the
judges said in that Internet-accessible, 251-page decision.
That quote: On Page 227, and maybe the judges
figured that most people wouldnt wait for the download, or maybe that theyd have to let the dog out at
about Page 200 and not finish the decision…
Hmmm…
So, its not a shortage of fundsabout $440 million at best guessthat the Legislature could have
spent on schools to meet the Supreme Courts order
on suitableand Constitutionalfinance of public
education. It was the governors and Legislatures
decision to hand out a massive tax break, which as
we recall was in an election year…
Its going to take months for the three-judge panels decision to be considered by the Kansas Supreme
Court, but the effect of that slap at the Legislature on
its spend on schools/cut taxes decision will likely be
felt before the high court can get its robes back from
the dry cleaners.
Already, insiders are hearing conservative lawmakers lament about the court overstepping its
authority, embarrassing the Legislature, and essentially forcing lawmakers to spend more on schools
and maybe raise taxes.
So, those bills that are set for first-week consideration by lawmakers in both chambersto change the
method of selecting Court of Appeals, and probably
Supreme Court justices, to take a handful of pesky
liberal lawyers out of the equationare going to get
quick action.
Theres even some halltalk that an amendment
to the Kansas Constitution needed to make that
changeso that the governor can appoint subject
to Senate confirmation of anyone he chooses to the
states two highest courtswill be fast-tracked (possibly put on April city election ballots) to take advantage of the majority of Republican legislators angst.
Yes, maybe those three judges spoke a little too
quickly, and too pointedly.
Well see…

Bulldogs hit the floor for homecoming

point third period before the
Vikes came back in the fourth
and Markley ensured an overtime.
ACs Macy Adams was 100
percent from the free throw
line with 7/7 and led AC scorers
with 16 points. Paige Scheckel
had 9, Amanda Moody and
Michaela Stevenson both had
4, Cheyanne Ratliff had 3 and
Jaime Mersman and Tayler
Porter both had 2.
Markley and Sydney Meyer
led Central Heights with 10

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Central Heights
Regan Markley drained a last
second three-pointer to put the
Anderson County homecoming game into overtime, but
fate was to shine finally on the
Bulldogs instead as AC came
out with a win over the Vikings
40-38.
That was one of the most
exciting games I have ever been
a part of, said Central Heights
head coach Scott Lane. Credit
goes out to both teams in playing hard in a very physical
game.
Garnetts gymnasium was
rocking in the breath-takingly
tight contest that started slow
but ended hot. Central Heights

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – In a high-stakes
game with a longtime rival
every point counts, and ACs
Spencer Walter came out
of nowhere Friday night to
drill four three pointers in
the Bulldogs 51-47 win over
Central Heights.
They were the only treys
of the night for AC, and with
three other buckets were
enough to put Walter at the
top of ACs rather slender
scoring heap at 18 points. The
Vikes keyed on ACs usual
scoring leaders Eric Tastove
and held him to only 10 points
and cloaked Drew Mechnig to
only 2. Tastove was the only
other Bulldog to make it into
double digits.
The defensive battle was
illustrated in a first half that
showed little scoring and a
constantly tight margin.
AC held a 29-28 lead at the
end of the half after Central
Heights Tanner Erhart and
Zach McAfee doubled up for
buckets on the way to outpace
AC 18-13 for the period.
But it was Walters two
three pointers in the third
period that put the wind back
in ACs sails.Tastove followed
up with three buckets in the
final period to put the game
away.
Other scoring for AC
included Tanner Lickteig
with 6, Steve Dial 5, Jack
Rickabaugh and Zach Hilliard
4 each. Drew Mechnig had 2.
Central Heights was led
by Tanner Erhart with 12,
Jordan Horstick 10, McAfee
9, Drew Beckwith 8, Trevor
Burkdoll 5, Tyler Hendron 2
and Chance Schooler with 1.

Kansas experiencing widespread flu
TOPEKA With widespread
activity of influenza in Kansas,
State Health Officer Robert
Moser, M.D., said it is not too
late to vaccinate against the flu,
and he encourages employers
to take the necessary steps for a
healthy workplace.
I would ask that business
owners and managers encourage their employees to stay
at home when ill to avoid the
spread of influenza in the community. Its also important for
everyone to wash their hands
throughout the day with warm,
soapy water and to sanitize
telephones, keyboards and
other office equipment used
often, said Moser, who is also
the Secretary for the Kansas
Department of Health and
Environment (KDHE).
One of several ways KDHE
tracks influenza is by monitoring the percentage of patients
seeking healthcare in selected
outpatient clinics who exhibit
influenza-like illness (ILI), in a
system known as ILINet.
The typical peak for cases
of ILI in Kansas occurs in
February, and the rates we are
observing now are higher and
earlier than what we usually
see, said Moser.
Last week (ending January
5), the rate of ILI among
patients seeking care at ILINet
sites was approximately 6.4 percent. During the previous (20112012) influenza season, this
rate peaked at 3.4 percent the
week ending March 10, the latest peak of an influenza season
in Kansas since surveillance
began in 1995. KDHE also closely monitors influenza-related
deaths. During the 2011-2012
influenza season, influenza and
pneumonia, a common complication of influenza, contributed
to or directly caused more than
1,300 deaths among Kansas residents, and was the eighth leading underlying cause of death
in 2011. In the current influenza
season, more than 460 influenza and pneumonia deaths have
been reported to date.
Influenza vaccine is recommended for nearly everyone
six months of age and older to
reduce the risk of becoming ill
with the flu and reduce the risk
of spreading the flu to others.
This is especially important for
anyone at high risk of complications, and for anyone who is
caring for, or in regular contact
with, an infant less than six
months of age. Babies this age
are too young to be vaccinated
and are more vulnerable to the
complications from influenza.
Symptoms of influenza
include fever, dry cough,
extreme tiredness and muscle aches. Complications can
include pneumonia, ear and
sinus infections, and dehydration; influenza may also worsen
other chronic conditions.
Lets not forget that influenza is unpredictable and can
continue to circulate through
spring, said Moser.
For information on receiving
the influenza vaccine, please
contact your health care provider or the local health department. Visit www.kdheks.gov/
flu for influenza facts.

Latest treasures unearthed
I closed my 2012 excavations
on Dec. 17-18 at my latest site.
It seems anywhere I decided to
line off a dig pattern there was
something there to be found.
One has to remember this site
is over 150 years old, but it
wasnt inhabitated nearly that
long.
This is a list of items I
uncovered in just eight hours
of excavating (two four hour
afternoons).
8 mother-of-pearl buttons,
2 little brass washers, 6 shotgun shell casings (old), 11 wood
screws (of various lengths and
sizes), a brass clock gear, small
silver buckle, brass Kansas
Brand button, 3 ivory, white
and brown buttons, 2 iron buttons, a large brass canvas grommet, 2 brass harness rivets

fixture parts, horse shoe nail,
Chamberlain medicine bottle
(whole), brown mottled door
knob, brass electrical connector, perfect unused square nail
(like new), fancy brass ornament, fancy brass plate with a
cloverleaf design cut out of the
center of it, 3 lamp globe rim
sections, 3 brass small purse
frame pieces (complete), 2 harness buckles, 5 small sections
of small copper tubing, a large
iron wood wedge, 2 small iron
butt hinges, 2 hand file sections, 3 iron washers (various
sizes), iron nut, harness ring,
5 diameter iron rim (small
wagon or tricycle), iron gun
butt plate, Model A Schrader
valve, spoon handle, a complete
butter knife, 6 bolts (various
sizes), small pulley assembly,
2 very large iron staples, large
spoon bowl, a fancy decorated
iron item, 32 unidentified iron
items and the best find, a silver
1918-D dime.
Now can you see why Im
so excited about this site and
all the history of Anderson
County it provides?
Now all Im waiting for is
a little warmer weather and
for it to thaw out, and I will be
back out there digging in 2013.

AG Schmidt: Stay alert for missing kids
2003: Flu postpones homecoming
Jan. 21, 2003
Garnett City commissioners got an introduction last
week from two junior partners
in a regional assisted living
operation, which plans to construct a facility in Garnett if
they can find land to build on.
Representatives with Vintage
Park Assisted Living said they
were anxious to find available
land in Garnett and would be
ready to discuss zoning issues
with city officials when they
found a location.
Plans to close USD 479 at
Kincaid and build better facilities at Colony are still in the
works after discussion at the
Crest board meeting Jan. 13.
However, the cost estimates
given by Superintendent Larry
Wittmer at the Dec. 9 meeting
may have been low by as much as
$400,000. The more detailed estimates were requested by board
members at the Dec. 9 meeting. At that meeting, Wittmer
presented the proposal for the
new facilities with an estimated
cost of $900,000, which was to
be loaned by Citizens Bank of
Kincaid in a lease-to-own program.
The flu bug took a toll on
students in Anderson County
school districts last week, but
so far seems to be largely avoiding teachers and instructors.
First it hit the junior high, then
the high school, then some of
the winter homecoming candidates. It was to the point school
and homecoming was canceled
Friday for a combination of
weather and sickness.

LOCAL
honor roll
God loves us so he can change us Washburn
includes local students
In John 3:3 Jesus is speaking to Nicodemus concerning
the new birth. When I hear or
read this text it brings to my
mind a statement made by the
late Dr. Adrian Rogers, bible
teacher and preacher who
said, God does not change us
so he can love us. He loves us
so he can change us.
The statement God does not
change us so he can love us is
difficult to understand. This
flies directly in the face of the
worlds view. Conventional
thinking says you need to conform to the worlds standards
if you want to achieve success. The part of this that has
always confused me is conform in this instance means
constant change. A large part
of our economy is based on
Weekly
Devotional
kingdom of God unless he is
born again.
What Jesus is saying here is
there is more required than an
intellectual understanding. If
God operated off of the theory
that he could change us and
after we achieved some level
of acceptance he could love us
all he would be changing is our
mind not our heart. Changing
our mind is not the long term
answer. A simple example
would be my dog. I love that
dog but sometimes I love him
more than others. Whether I
like it or not that love is based
on my understanding of how
well he is behaving. What
Jesus is teaching Nicodemus
is a change of heart is permanent. For someone to have
a change of heart they must
by David Bilderback
selling people on the idea of
change they need the latest
electronic device, or latest
vehicle or wardrobe design.
To gain acceptance you need
to be like everyone else not
different.
The statement God loves
us so he can change us can
also be difficult to understand. Jesus addresses this
with Nicodemus in John 3:3
when he (Jesus) says I tell
you the truth, no can see the
want to change.
The Apostle John understood this concept in 1 John
4:19, he says, We love God
because he (God) first loved
us. God does not want to
change us so we will love him.
That would not result in a
changed heart. He does want
to love us so we will change.
When Nicodemus responds to
Jesus explanation of the new
birth he asks, How can this
be? The simple answer is
through the power of the Holy
Spirit we are regenerated and
receive the faith required to
believe with our heart.

a proposal from city staff and
the citys tourism committee.
The proposal, presented by
administrative assistant Susan
Wettstein, failed to show how
the additional tax revenue
would be spent, Peine said. It
demonstrated a repeated pattern, particularly regarding
tourism, of city staff asking for
money for projects without a
detailed plan to outline specific
goals and without a way to evaluate the success or failure of
the project, Peine said. He read
a 1,400 word prepared statement
taking city leaders and particularly the tourism advisory committee to task about a lack of
specifics in their planning.
This committee clearly
requires its grant applicants to
define economic needs, goals
and anticipated related outcomes, part of Peines statement read. Unfortunately, it
does not appear that this committee or the City of Garnett
holds itself to the same set of
standards when it comes to
administering the TGT funds.
Transient guest tax funds are
collected from local hotels and
bed-and-breakfast facilities.
Guests pay the additional tax
for each night they stay, unless
the stay is longer than 28 days.
The citys transient guest tax is
set at 3 percent; for an average
nights stay in Garnett, the tax
amounts to an extra $1.80. The
tax varies from city to city, and
most cities in the region charge
more than 3 percent. Ottawa and
Franklin County, for example,
charge 6 percent; Iola charges 4
percent; Osawatomie, 6 percent;
and Coffey County, 3 percent.
Transient guest taxes are easy
targets for increases because
the tax primarily is paid for
by out-of-town visitors and not
local residents.
The city uses its transient
guest tax fund to pay for marketing and advertising for special
events. Groups can apply for a
grant to pay for advertising to
promote events like Cornstock,
the Greeley Smokeoff, and the
Chamber Players performances.
Grants are approved if theres
an argument that the support
will help attract visitors to the
community.
The citys transient guest tax
fund is the citys only source of
tourism revenue and the fund
currently is a little more than
$13,500. Tourism expenses, however, typically exceed revenue.
City leaders estimate that unless
the tax was increased, the fund
will be run out of money within
three years.
If the fund were increased,
the city could look at spending the extra money in a variety of ways, such as: paying
for signs to help visitors find
their way around the city; promoting new events; paying for
community ad campaigns; helping other organizations such as
the Garnett Area Chamber of
Commerce or economic development campaigns; or promoting area attractions like the golf
course or Walker Art Gallery,
Wettstein said in her presentation. The city already pays
for other tourism needs like
brochures, advertising campaigns and website development without using transient
guest tax. Much of the citys
tourism efforts are spearheaded by Wettstein, technically an
employee of the utility department, who estimated she spends
about 50 percent of her time on
tourism and marketing.
The presentation failed to
outline how much money would
be allocated to some of the proposed uses, Peine said.

unacceptable without a documented plan to support a long
term goal such as a desire or
need to reduce the funds total

He demanded the city and 1×3
tourism committee present a
detailed plan with three years
of financial projections including an accounting of annual
encumbered funds, estimated
grant awards and any additional proposed uses of the fund.
In short, the Tourism
Committee is responsible for
marketing this community and
I am requesting a marketing
plan, Peines statement read.
Tourism committee members took exception to Peines
requests, saying it was impossible to know which organizations would ask for grants and
how much they would need.
Peine argued the committee
could use past requests to help
gauge likely requests.
If were potentially doubling those funds, I expect to be
able to tell taxpayers what were
doing with those funds, Peine
countered.
Tourism committee member
Tom Emerson, Jr., told Peine
it was unreasonable to expect
a professional marketing plan
from a group of volunteers.
Peine agreed and said he didnt
expect the advisory committee
to do the work; it should instead
fall to city staff. Wettstein protested that she already spent
much of her time on tourism
and marketing, and Peine was
demanding too much in too
short a time frame.
In the end, Mayor Greg Gwin
and Commissioner Gordon
Blackie tried to bring the discussion back to whether to
approve an increase in the transient guest tax. All agreed to
opt out of a state requirement
that anyone who stays at a hotel
longer than 28 days does not pay
the tax; the so-called 28-day
rule hurts the city when workers stay in Garnett during the
Wolf Creek power plant outage
for months at a time but do not
have to pay the additional tax,
for example.
When it came to a decision
to approve increasing the tax,
Gwin moved to approve raising the tax to 4 percent rather
than following recommendations from city staff, who asked
for 5 percent. Blackie and Peine
both protested that if they were
going to increase the tax, they
might as well increase it to 5
percent. Gwin countered they
should take baby steps, and
Blackie agreed to support his
motion.
Before commissioners voted,
Peine asked city manager Joyce
Martin if she intended to comply with his request to provide
a detailed accounting of encumbered funds and estimated grant
awards. Martin said she would.
I dont vote for things until
I see the plan. I understand its
coming, but for now I have to
vote no, Peine said.
City attorney Terry Solander
said their decision required
changes to a charter ordinance,
so he would need time to prepare the documents. Assuming
commissioners continue to
support the transient guest tax
increase, city residents would
have 60 days to file a protest
petition and bring the matter to
a public vote if they disagreed
with the decision.
