Spirit of Christmas highlights season for area families
Assistance efforts
require work of entire
community, groups
BY MELISSA HOBBS THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
Each year over 100 families
and children are blessed with
a Merry Christmas with the
help of ECKAN and the Spirit
of Christmas committee, and
this year was no exception.
According to Brandi Lopez,
Human Services Coordinator
at Anderson County ECKAN,
some 125 families, that included 85-90 children, were assisted
by the joint effort this year.
According to the Spirit of
Christmas Committee chairman, Sharon Rocker, the program has been in place for
several years to help families
across Anderson County. She
says applicants are taken care
of by ECKAN, and although
there are income guidelines,
shes never seen anyone turned
away.
Rocker says efforts begin
in October when the committee sends out letters to area
businesses, clubs, and organizations requesting donations
and adoptions. Notes are given
out to existing ECKAN clients, and sent home with all
school children in the county to notify families in need
of the program. Families that
apply are listed individually on
Angel Trees that are located
around the county at outlying
banks, Yoders Country Store,
Orschelns, and the Garnett
City Hall. The angels are decorated by the Anderson County
High School FCCLA.
Individuals, families, and
businesses are encouraged to
adopt people off a tree, or
they can adopt an entire family by contacting the ECKAN
office. The angel trees can be
difficult for ECKAN because
kids in one family can get
adopted by different people and
then the donations those kids
get arent always equal, says
Rocker. But weve figured out
over the years that the angel

trees are our best avenue for
publicity.
The families being assisted
by the program receive gifts for
everyone in their family as well
as a Christmas meal. The meals
include a ham, bag of potatoes,
butter, vegetables, a cake mix
and frosting, and other things
that would make up a traditional Christmas dinner. Rocker
says that they also recommend
a few extra food items, such as
pancake mix, syrup, spaghetti

Tax bill becomes
law; whats next?
Tax reform questions
answered by local
attorney, representative
BY MELISSA HOBBS THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
President Trump signed the
tax bill into law on December
22, keeping his promise to
put the bill into action before
Christmas. It was the first
major overhaul to taxes since
Reagan reformed tax law in
1986. The next question is what
affect will it have on the average taxpayer?
I think it will have a pretty significant positive impact
on people in the mid-income
range, said Attorney Terry
Solander. Most of it wont take
place until January 2019, but

should see an impact on their
wages this February.
The new tax reform makes
several changes that many
claim have been long overdue.
Changes have been made to
both individual and corporate
taxes. Most notably for corporations, the tax rate has been
cut from 35% to 21% starting
next year, and politicians are
hoping that earnings will go up
as a result of the cut.
The biggest breaks are
for the corporations, said
Solander. How those breaks
will help the average wage
earner are yet to be seen.
For individuals there are
still seven tax brackets, but
those brackets have changed
and some have been lowered.
The standard deduction has
nearly doubled. For single filSEE TAXES ON PAGE 3A
Sentencing set in fatal

Plea leads to Jan. 8
sentencing in death of
75-year-old man
BY VICKIE MOSS
Special to THE REVIEW
GARNETT A Garnett man
who struck and killed a 75-yearold man outside a local convenience store is expected to be
sentenced next week.
Andrew Holstine, 27 of
Garnett, in late October pleaded no contest to failure to stop
at a July 4, 2017, accident resulting in the death of 75-year-old
Lloyd Sutton. A no contest
plea means he did not admit
guilt but would not fight the
charge against him. Sentencing
is set for 11 a.m. Monday, Jan.
8.

Its time for New Years resolutions
Residents share their
plans for improvement
at start of a new year
BY MELISSA HOBBS THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
With the beginning of a new
year comes the beginning of
a new set of new years resolutions, and people across the
county have made their lists
and are waiting until the ultimate start date, a new years
day that falls on a Monday.
When polling people around
the county all sorts of responses were received for what their
new years goals would be.
Some had seemingly simple
goals, like drawing ten zentangles or writing 100 pieces of
encouragement and sending
them out through snail mail.
Others had more lofty goals
like being more environmentally friendly, reading 10,000
pages, or running 1,000 miles
over the next year.
My goal is to do a load of
laundry a day, said Laura
Schmidt. I know it sounds
silly, but if I wait till the weekend with six people living in
this house, I spend a whole day
on it. While laundry doesnt
appear on many peoples new
years resolution lists, fitness
and health goals do.
I want to get over the plateau to lose more weight and eat
healthier, said Jackie Olson.
And Olsens goal is similar to
statistics that show that 38 percent of new year resolutions
are to exercise more, while 33
percent are to lose weight.
Lucky
for
Anderson
County, theres a fitness center in Garnett to help meet
those fitness and health goals.
According to Rec Center
Manager Howard Purcell things
slow down at the rec center
around Christmas, then it gets
really busy after the first of the
year. Unfortunately, though, by
the middle of February things
slow down again.
I wish people could stick
with it and keep coming, said
Purcell. He says over winter
break the rec center sees an
increase in kids because they
dont have much else to do.

additional meals with.
Lopez says this year they
were able to come closer to the
goal of getting everyone adopted off the trees, but came just
shy of the goal this year. Only
eight kids werent adopted from
the trees, and approximately 18
teenagers were left on the trees
this year. We were happy with
the amount of kiddos adopted
this year, said Lopez. The
teens are the ones that are the
most difficult to get adopted,
and so were always looking for
ways to increase the adoptions
for them.
The good news is though,
that none of the kids left behind
on the Angel trees went without. ECKAN either purchases
toys and gifts from donated
funds, or they are given donated gifts that come from the
community. We are always
overwhelmed with the extreme
generosity of the community
when it comes to both monetary donations to help purchase food and toy donations,
said Lopez. This year was no
different. We also have many
people volunteer to assist in
any way necessary to help distribute food and toys.
ANDERSON COUNTY COMMISSION
MEETING, DECEMBER 18, 2017
Chairman Jerry Howarter called
the meeting of the Anderson County
Commission to order at 9:00 a.m., on
December 18, 2017, at the County
Commission Room. In attendance
were Jerry Howarter, David Pracht,
and Leslie McGhee. The pledge of
allegiance was recited. Minutes from
the previous meeting were approved
as presented.
Road
Michelle Miller, Road Secretary,
met with the commission. Motor grader bids from Caterpillar and John
Deere were opened. Caterpillar presented a 2018 120 model tandum
drive for $223,778 and a 2017 120
model AllWheel drive for $253,166. It
will be an additional $9,656 for grade
control on either machine. The trade
in value for the 2010 Komatsu that the
county owns would be $40,000. John
Deere presented a 2018 620 model
tandum drive for $220,620 including
grade control and a 2018 620 model
AllWheel drive for $256,189 including
grade control. The trade in value for
the 2010 Komatsu would be $44,000.
The decision was tabled until the
commissioners can speak to Lester.
KDOT
Donna Schmidt, KDOT, met with
the commission. She presented multiple quick claim deeds of property
within Anderson County that are in
the State Highway Commission or
KDOTs name that shouldve been
reverted back to the County. The pieces of property were acquired by the
State to complete road projects but
were never deeded back to the county
when complete. The Commissioners
signed an acknowledgment of property that will be deeded back to the
county.
Fence
Jack Hiner met with the commission. He discussed the fence that is
being erected between his property
and Mike Burns. He presented a
drawing of where he would like to put
the fence. The commissioners will
make a decision at the December
26th meeting.
Elevator
Eric Hethcoat, BG Consultants,
met with the commission. He let the
commissioners know that they will

chloride, magnesium chloride,
potassium acetate and calcium
magnesium acetate. Each has
its advantages and disadvantages, but salt brine remains
the best choice for anti-icing in
temperatures above 15 degrees
F (minus 9.4 degrees C) and
continues to work in temperatures as low as minus 6 degrees
F. For extremely low temperatures, look for a mixture using
calcium or magnesium chloride instead.
Laws regarding snow and
ice clearing vary by state and
locality, but most mandate that
some action be taken within
a reasonable time period after
it stops snowing. For example, the Illinois Snow and
Ice Removal Act states that
any owner who removes or
attempts to remove snow or
ice from sidewalks abutting
the property shall not be liable for any personal injuries
allegedly caused by the snowy
or icy condition of the sidewalk
resulting from his or her acts
or omissions unless the alleged
misconduct was willful or wanton.
The dangers from slips and
falls should not be taken lightly,
especially for the elderly. Each
year thousands are rushed to
emergency rooms as a result
of icy falls with injuries that
could have easily been prevented. One enterprising hospital,
St. Vincents in Indianapolis,
Indiana, even decided to give
away road salt to local residents one winter to try and
prevent such injuries and the
resulting emergency room visits. In the end, the person who
is most likely to slip and fall is
the homeowner themselves.

900 East Logan St., Ottawa, KS
(BPT) – Whenever it snows,
it is common to see shopping
center employees and business
owners out and about clearing
pathways, parking spaces and
entrances of snow and ice. But
this isnt just good business to
help customers get in the door,
it is also a liability issue should
someone slip, fall and injure
themselves. Homeowners, too,
face similar, albeit more limited, liability if they fail to take
adequate steps to remove such
slippery hazards from their
property.
Generally speaking, homeowners are responsible for limiting dangers on their property,
but in some cases this can also
extend to public sidewalks abutting the home. In some localities, Homeowners Associations
(HOAs), and governments also
require that homeowners clear
snow and ice or face fines. A
regional survey of county and
municipal ordinances conducted by the Salt Institute found
that 83 percent have written
policies directing property
owners to remove accumulated
snow and ice within 24 hours
of the end of the snowstorm.
Penalties for property owners
not complying can range from
nominal tickets to misdemeanors punishable by up to 90 days
in jail and fines of up to $500.
Shoveling snow is simple
enough, but ice is another matter, and nothing works better to
remove ice or prevent ice from
forming than salt. Salt lowers
waters freezing point, the temperature at which it changes
from a liquid to a solid and vice
versa. Melting water that is
already frozen is called deicing
and is applied once ice appears.
Preventing water from freezing in the first place is called
anti-icing and is applied when
a freeze is expected.
Commercially
available
anti-icing materials include
salt (sodium chloride), calcium

said. Some 1100 people a month
go through the rec center, most
repeat customers that come
15-20 times a month.
Statistics show that 80 percent of people that make a
new years resolution fail by
the second week of February,
and only eight percent achieve
their goals through the entire
year.
I want to be better organized, but Im not necessarily
making it a new years resolution since I never seem to stick
to it, said Paige Bostater.
Other goals for the year
included being more present when family is together
(less screen time), spending
more time with family, worrying less, spending more time
with God, getting to bed earlier, decluttering, finding time
for yourself and pursuing your
own interests, and being more
organized.

$24,000.
The personal exemption is
gone, but there is now a tax
credit for non-child dependents
such as elderly parents and
children over the age of 17. The
child tax credit has doubled to
$2,000 for children under 17.
People will still be able to
deduct medical expenses, a
deduction that was previously on the chopping block.
Teachers can still deduct classroom supply expenses, and tuition waivers for grad students
remain tax-free.
The deduction for moving
expenses is gone, with the
exception for members of the
military. Tax deductions for
alimony payments and tax
preparation fees are also gone.
Although Obamacare wasnt
repealed earlier this year, the
penalty for failure to have
insurance will be gone in 2019.
I think roughly 80% of filers will see a reduction in their
taxes, said Solander. The
gloom and doom people, I think,
are looking at the long-term
if things dont change, but the
short-term looks pretty good.
Congresswoman
Lynn
Jenkins agrees that the average family in the 2nd district
will see benefits from the new
reform. Because of the tax cuts
and jobs act, which President
Trump just signed into law, the
average family of 4 in the 2nd
district will see their Federal
income tax bill nearly cut in
half, which will be an extra
$2,279 in their pocket. The pundits on T.V. making six figure
incomes may not think this is a
lot of money, but for folks in my
district this is real relief, said
Jenkins.

Tips to help stick with New Years resolutions
Oh, those New Years resolutions. By this point you may be
wondering how to stick to those
precious promises you made to
yourself not so very long ago.
But dont worry, because a lot
of people fail to follow through
with their New Years health resolutions with approximately 80
percent of gym goers who join
in the New Year quitting their
membership by the second week
in February. So much for more
exercise, right?
Statistics also indicate that
more generally, 50 percent of
people quit their gym memberships within six months of starting, and waste almost $700 a year
on unused gym memberships
and equipment.
Clearly, when it comes to New
Years health resolutions, good
intentions are not enough. But
fear not, because insights from
psychological science can help
you identify and understand
how to avoid the pitfalls that
lead to health goal failures. So
rather than beating yourself up
about what you should be doing,
with the tips below, you can successfully adopt a healthier lifestyle for the year ahead.
Here, we have the five most
common reasons people struggle
with their health goals, along
with the solutions for staying on
track.
Taking on too much
at once
Trying to take on too much
healthy change at once, or aiming for a health goal that seems
unattainable can be overwhelming. This erodes confidence and
feelings of competence, which
in turn can weaken intentions
to follow through with health
behaviours.
Solution: Start with one small
health change at a time, such
as increasing exercise levels
slowly, or making diet changes
in small steps. The confidence
you experience from each smaller success can accumulate, and
help you bridge the gap between
intentions and actions. And this
in turn can help you to make
and maintain more challenging
health behaviour changes.
Lack of specificity
Health goals that are too
vague, such as lose weight or
get in better shape are usually doomed to fail. Vague goals
make it difficult to monitor how
much progress is being made,
and can leave you ill prepared
for the inevitable temptations
and bad habits that can derail
best laid plans.
Solution: Be specific when
setting your health goals
such as I will lose 10lbs in two
months along with how you
plan to achieve this I will substitute crisps for vegetables at
lunchtime. Research has found
that this formula of stating specific if-then plans for increasing your five a day was more
effective for increasing fruit and
vegetable intake compared to
making no plans.
Going it alone
Taking a lone wolf approach
to reach health goals means you
dont have a motivational backup on those off days when following through with your health
goals is more challenging.
Solution: Get an exercise or
diet partner to stay motivated
and get healthy with. In one
study, having an exercise partner predicted more effort and
progress towards improving fitness levels.
Being overcritical
Its a common misconception
that being hard on yourself after
missing a gym session or eating crisps instead of vegetables
will help you stay on track. But
evidence shows that reacting
harshly to yourself after such
violations can make you less, not
more, likely to be successful in
reaching your goals.

or death, according to court
records.
Holstine was alone the night
of the incident and driving
a 1993 Buick LaSabre owned
by Kristy Lynn Prevatte of
Garnett when witnesses said it
swung through the parking lot
of Sandras Quick Stop toward
a parking spot with Holstine
yelling from the window that
he couldnt stop the car. It
smashed into the park bench
where Sutton and another man
had been sitting. The other
man escaped serious injury.
Holstine, who was driving
with a suspended license, fled
the scene and was later apprehended.
ANDERSON
Other charges, including
involuntary
manslaughter
while under the influence, possession of methamphetamine,
driving with a suspended
license and criminal damage
to property, were dismissed as
part of a plea deal.
Holstein could face between
31 months to 136 months in
prison.
Solution: Accept your imperfections and practice self kindness to stay motivated after the
inevitable lapses that occur on
the path to a healthier lifestyle.
In one analysis of over 3,200
people, it was found that being
self-compassionate on a regular
basis was associated with the
practice of a variety of health
promoting behaviours such as
eating fruits and vegetables, regular exercise, and avoiding junk
food.
Living for the present self
Living in the moment can
make you more susceptible to
temptations that satisfy your
present self and more likely
to neglect the implications of
poor choices for the future self.
According to one review, this
shortsightedness is a key factor
in why people procrastinate on
their goals.
Solution: Think about how
future you can benefit from
your health goals to overcome
the lure of temptations and curb
health procrastination. Research
has shown that people who feel
closer to their future self are
less likely to procrastinate in
general. And that embracing
the future self is associated
with engaging in positive health
behaviours.

OPINION
This terrorism threat
doesnt come in form of
traditional bombs or bullets
Most of us dont think much about the
system that regularly lands food on our
plates.
Sure, we may take note of the cost, if
its something high end like filet mignon,
or if a shortage drives up the price of an
item we routinely buy.
But the security of our agricultural
system doesnt cross our minds. And terrorism? Thats something we think about
in airports or in crowded places.
Richard Myers, the president of Kansas
State University, said last week we should
adjust our way of thinking about the
security of our agricultural system.
In a sobering report to the U.S. Senate
Agriculture Committee, Myers said our
nations food supply is at risk.
Key components of Americas critical
infrastructure agriculture and food
are vulnerable to terrorist attack with
bioweapons and un-deliberate infectious
disease outbreaks, and I think the U.S. is
unprepared to confront those threats, he
said.
Myers has the background and experience to see the big picture on the issue.
Hes president of a university nationally
known for its work in agriculture, in a
state largely driven by agriculture. Hes
also a retired four-star general and a former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff
who is familiar with the tactics of groups
such as al-Qaida.
He noted, for instance, that al-Qaida
has experimented with animal diseases
in remote areas of Iraq.
Imagine the devastation and disruption that would be caused if a disease
was introduced that wiped out herds of
livestock. Imagine what would happen if
basic crops such as corn or wheat were
destroyed. The effects wouldnt be limited
to the United States, because, as Myers
noted, America still feeds the world. …
So what are we to do?
Basically the same things we would
do to protect ourselves from more traditional threats. In this case, those steps
involve research on infectious diseases
and bioweapons.
Some of that work is already happening at Kansas State. And the National Bio
and Agro-Defense Facility is being built
adjacent to K-State, but wont be operational until 2022 or 2023, Myers said.
Myers said more funding and an array
of scientists, veterinarians and doctors
are needed even before the National Bio
and Ago-Defense Facility opens to protect
our country. Sen. Pat Roberts suggested
the recommendations be addressed in the
next farm bill.
The federal government would be wise
to take heed of what Myers has to say,
and elected representatives should consider Roberts suggestion, as well. The
safety of our food system and security of
our country may depend on it.

I watched my kids grow up my grandkids
grow up and I cant believe the stuff Im hearing about the city of Garnett letting the animals die. That is uncalled for. They need to get
something so these people, whoever they are,
can feed them and take care of them and do the
humane thing instead of letting them starve.
I dont know the people that are getting tickets for feeding stray cats but I have been told
they are being harassed and being treated like
they are criminals. I know the people at city

fair city is becoming known as the cat killers. Euthanizing is bad enough. It costs our
Nancy Pelosis tax apocalypse
To listen to the Democrats, the American
middle class will be lucky to survive the
Republican tax bill.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi calls
the bill monumental, brazen theft from the
American middle class, and thats one of
her more restrained comments. Per Pelosi,
the bill is an affront to the Founding Fathers,
veterans, children and all thats good and true
in America.
She constantly charges that the bill raises taxes on 86 million middle-class households, and hands a breathtaking 83 percent
of its benefits to the wealthiest 1 percent of
Americans.
This is a rhetorically potent line of attack
that the polling suggests has made considerable headway. It just isnt remotely honest.
The Republican bill is, every factual analysis
agrees, an across-the-board tax cut.
Pelosis seemingly damning factoids come
from the year 2027, an odd date to focus on,
since its not when the bill goes into effect, but
when part of it lapses. In about 10 years, many
of the tax cuts on the individual side expire,
which Pelosi portrays as a Republican plot to
loot the middle class.
Its a very strange argument against passing a bill to say horrible things will happen
once the legislation no longer fully applies.
This is more logically a case for extending the
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
bill than for blocking it. Indeed, its almost
certain the middle-class provisions would
eventually be preserved.
What is, by the way, this looming middle-class wasteland in 2027? Pelosi relies on
the liberal Tax Policy Center for her figures.
As that outfit puts it, on average, in 2027
taxes would change little for lower- and middle-income groups. Oh.
Theres a reason Pelosi doesnt want to
focus on the numbers when the tax bill she so
vociferously opposes is fully in effect. In 2018,
80.4 percent of tax units get a tax cut, averaging $2,140. A grand total of 4.8 percent will see
a tax increase. The small percentage of people
with higher taxes is disproportionately tilted
toward the top of the income scale.
Its true that upper-income people get a
bigger tax cut in terms of absolute dollars than
anyone else, for the simple reason that the
wealthy tend to pay more in taxes than anyone
else, as Brian Riedl of the Manhattan Institute
points out.
The tax bill is hardly invulnerable to criticism. Even if Republicans dont always like to
admit it, corporate tax cuts are at the heart of
the bill. They arent popular, but they are progrowth. There used to be a bipartisan consensus — encompassing Presidents Barack Obama
and Bill Clinton — that we needed corporate
tax reform.
Then theres the deficit. Republicans can
fairly be taken to task for budget gimmicks
(like the expiration of the individual tax cuts)
that squeeze a much bigger tax cut into a
$1.5 trillion, 10-year window. All things being
equal, economic growth will diminish some
of the revenue loss. But the bill couldve been
smaller and added less to the deficit.
Its impossible to say how the tax bill will
play in the midterms. Whats certain is that,
contra Pelosi, the middle class will emerge
intact, and with a lower tax bill.
Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.
Welcome to the Year of the Dog
2018 is the Year of the Dog. That is, if youre
Asian and follow the Chinese zodiac. It rotates
between the Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon,
Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog
and Pig. And as I mentioned, 2018 is a Dog
year. Thats a good thing, particularly when
us Westerners remember Harry Trumans
bromide: If you want a friend in Washington,
get a dog.
But I was surprised to find out Donald
Trumps birthdate also had the Dog as its
sign, considering my affection for puppies.
Obviously, he was so mistreated that he
turned dangerously ferocious. His Christmas
Day astrology fortune, by the way, was, The
Year of the Earth Dog 2018 is a good time

ineptitude in the
face of their intimidation, millions of
Americans might

know
whats
important no matter what others
think or say. Its
important to not
let the words or
actions of negative
people discourage
you. That will be
music to the ears
of Trumps enemies, although its
probably advice
thats wasted on
Mueller, who is
already known
to be methodically relentless
in every pursuit
hes undertaken. His latest pursuit, of course,
is that of Donald Trump, or certainly those
around the president.
What Bob Mueller has demonstrated is a persistent prosecutors bias, which is to say that
everyone is suspect until they
show otherwise. But Trumps
supporters are really trying
to manufacture a public case
against him. …
Hes not only investigating the possibility
of campaign collusion with Vladimir Putins
Russian government chicanery in contributing to Trumps victory, but any crime that
arises as hes fact-finding. Already hes drawn
enough blood that Republicans are trying
to discredit him. Theyre using every trick
they can muster to leave an impression that
Muellers people are too politically biased to
be fair.
What Bob Mueller has demonstrated is a
persistent prosecutors bias, which is to say
that everyone is suspect until they show otherwise. But Trumps supporters are really trying to manufacture a public case against him.
Its obviously an attempt to clear the way for
him to fire Mueller if the flames get too close
to Trump or family members. The president
says repeatedly that he has no such plans, but
Donald Trump is not known for being a man of
his word.
The whole firing scenario is so transparent to many of POTUS adversaries that
theyve awoken from their stupor. They are
advance-planning street protests. Former
Attorney General Eric Holder calls any ouster
of Mueller a red line, but there have been
so many red lines that Trump has crossed
that its unclear whether Holders declaration
holds any significance.
Actually, 2018 is not just the Dog, but its
the year that every governing process will be
dogged by the elections. Its the midterm that
will preoccupy Washington, D.C., with tentacles stretching to many states and also every
congressional district in the land. Thousands
of politicians will be forever calculating all
things Trump. Like it or not, hes the big dog
in this years campaign.

SEK Multi-County Health Department Anderson County awarded
for efforts to make working and breastfeeding easier for employees
SEK Multi-County Health
Department
Anderson
County has received the
Gold Level Breastfeeding
Employees Support Award
from the Kansas Breastfeeding
Coalition and its Business Case
for Breastfeeding program.
The award is based on proven and established standards to
benefit employers and employees. It recognizes businesses
that provide support services
to their breastfeeding employees, to include education as
well as the time and space
for employees to nurse and/
or pump breastmilk at their
workplace. The award, the top
ranking of three sponsored by
the Coalition, was presented
by Brenda Bandy, Executive
Director of the Kansas
Breastfeeding Coalition.
According
to
Bandy,
SEK Multi-County Health
Department Anderson County
received the award for achieving a high level of support to
their employees as outlined in
the Coalitions criteria. She
said they provide a gold level
pumping room, allow flexible
time to pump, and have a writ-
ten policy of breastfeeding support.
Pointing out that many
breastfeeding mothers abandon breastfeeding when they
return to work because they
lack the support and appropriate facilities at their place
of employment, Bandy said,
We want to help change that
unfortunate situation. She
cited research showing that
adequate support for breastfeeding employees benefits
businesses through savings in
health care expenses, reduced
turnover rates, lower absentee-
ism, and increased employee
loyalty. Employers that have
established support services
for breastfeeding employees
have reported a $3 for $1 return
on investment plus realizing a
more productive working environment.
Many Kansas employers recognize the benefits of
supporting their breastfeeding employees. We want to
shine the spotlight on as many
employers as we can for doing
their part to make returning to
work while breastfeeding easier in hopes that will encour-
age more businesses to follow
suit, says Martha Hagen, a
Kansas WIC state breastfeeding coordinator.
Businesses that provide support services for their breastfeeding employees can be considered for a Breastfeeding
Employees Support Award at
the bronze, silver and gold levels. Applications are available
at http://www.kansasbusinesscase.com/for_employers/
employer_awards .
The Business Case for
Breastfeeding is a program to
assist employers in developing
or enhancing support services
for their breastfeeding employees. The Kansas Breastfeeding
Coalition is a non-profit 501(c)
3 with the mission of working
collaboratively to promote and
protect breastfeeding in order
to improve the health of Kansas
families.

AAA tips to help avoid winter driving accidents during inclement weather
Severe weather can be both
frightening and dangerous for
automobile travel. Motorists
should know the safety rules
for dealing with winter road
emergencies. AAA reminds
motorists to be cautious while
driving in adverse weather.
For more information on winter driving, the association
offers the How to Go on Ice
and Snow brochure, available
through most AAA offices.
Contact your local AAA club
for more information.
AAA recommends the following winter driving tips:
Avoid driving while youre
fatigued. Getting the proper
amount of rest before taking on
winter weather tasks reduces
driving risks.
Never warm up a vehicle
in an enclosed area, such as a
garage.
Make certain your tires are
properly inflated.
Never mix radial tires with
other tire types.
Keep your gas tank at least
half full to avoid gas line freezeup.
If possible, avoid using your
parking brake in cold, rainy
and snowy weather.
Do not use cruise control
when driving on any slippery
surface (wet, ice, sand).
Always look and steer where
you want to go.
Use your seat belt every time
you get into your vehicle.
Tips for long-distance
winter trips:
Watch weather reports
prior to a long-distance drive
or before driving in isolated
areas. Delay trips when especially bad weather is expected.
If you must leave, let others
know your route, destination
and estimated time of arrival.
Always make sure your
vehicle is in peak operating
condition by having it inspected by a AAA Approved Auto
Repair facility.
Keep at least half a tank of
gasoline in your vehicle at all
times.
Pack a cellular telephone
with your local AAAs telephone number, plus blankets,
gloves, hats, food, water and
any needed medication in your
vehicle.
If you become snow-bound,
stay with your vehicle. It provides temporary shelter and
makes it easier for rescuers to
locate you. Dont try to walk in
a severe storm. Its easy to lose
sight of your vehicle in blowing
snow and become lost.
Dont over exert yourself if
you try to push or dig your
vehicle out of the snow.
Tie a brightly colored cloth
to the antenna or place a cloth
at the top of a rolled up window to signal distress. At night,
keep the dome light on if possible. It only uses a small amount
of electricity and will make it
easier for rescuers to find you.
Make sure the exhaust pipe
isnt clogged with snow, ice or
mud. A blocked exhaust could
cause deadly carbon monoxide
gas to leak into the passenger
compartment with the engine
running.
Use whatever is available to
insulate your body from the
cold. This could include floor
mats, newspapers or paper
maps.
If possible run the engine
and heater just long enough
to remove the chill and to conserve gasoline.
Tips for driving in the snow:
Accelerate and decelerate
slowly. Applying the gas slowly
to accelerate is the best method for regaining traction and
avoiding skids. Dont try to get
moving in a hurry. And take
time to slow down for a stoplight. Remember: It takes longer to slow down on icy roads.
Drive slowly. Everything
takes longer on snow-covered
roads. Accelerating, stopping,
turning nothing happens as
quickly as on dry pavement.
Give yourself time to maneuver by driving slowly.
The normal dry pavement
following distance of three
to four seconds should be
increased to eight to ten seconds. This increased margin of
safety will provide the longer
distance needed if you have to
stop.
Know your brakes. Whether
you have antilock brakes or
not, the best way to stop is
threshold breaking. Keep the
heel of your foot on the floor
and use the ball of your foot to
apply firm, steady pressure on
the brake pedal.
Dont stop if you can avoid
it. Theres a big difference in
the amount of inertia it takes
to start moving from a full stop
versus how much it takes to get
moving while still rolling. If
you can slow down enough to
keep rolling until a traffic light
changes, do it.
Dont power up hills.
Applying extra gas on
snow-covered roads just starts
your wheels spinning. Try to
get a little inertia going before
you reach the hill and let that
inertia carry you to the top. As
you reach the crest of the hill,
reduce your speed and proceed
down hill as slowly as possible.
Dont stop going up a hill.
Theres nothing worse than
trying to get moving up a hill
on an icy road. Get some inertia going on a flat roadway
before you take on the hill.
Stay home. If you really dont
have to go out, dont. Even if
you can drive well in the snow,
not everyone else can. Dont
tempt fate: If you dont have
somewhere you have to be,
watch the snow from indoors.
January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month in Kansas
TOPEKA – Kansas Governor
Sam Brownback today proclaimed January to be Human
Trafficking Awareness Month.
Gov. Brownback was joined
by Attorney General Derek
Schmidt; Secretary Lana
Gordon, Kansas Department of
Labor; Secretary Gina MeierHummel, Kansas Department
for Children and Families;
Secretary Susan Mosier,
M.D., MBA, FACS, Kansas
Department of Health and
Environment; and Secretary
Joe
Norwood,
Kansas
Department of Corrections in
issuing todays proclamation.
Im encouraged by the
growing awareness around the
scourge of human trafficking
and exploitation, and we need
to continue to shine light on
it, because it is not a problem
thats somewhere far away, it
happens right here in Kansas,
Governor Brownback said.
We will continue to shed light
on this problem because the
best way to combat it is to have
citizens armed and aware of
the signs and what to do if they
suspect someone might be the
victim of trafficking.
Human trafficking is one of
the largest and fastest-growing criminal industries in the
world. It is based on recruiting, harboring and transporting people for the purpose of
exploitation. Both sex trafficking and labor trafficking occur
in Kansas and both adults and
children are victims. Kansas
location and interstate system
make it a major transportation
area for victims of human trafficking.
Kansas families
affected by crime
across the state
receive special poem
TOPEKA Kansas families
attending the four remembrance receptions across
the state received a special
message this year, Attorney
General Derek Schmidt said.
Earlier this month, the
Kansas Attorney Generals
Office in cooperation with
the Kansas Organization for
Victim Assistance hosted
receptions in Garden City,
Wichita, Kansas City and
Topeka in honor and remembrance of crime victims who
lost their lives. This year more
than 350 family members,
friends and supporters attended the receptions, which recognized 223 individuals who
lost their lives due to crime.
A special poem was read
at each of the receptions. The
poem was authored by Kansan
Annette Hope Billings and
written especially for Kansans
whose lives have been touched
by crime.
The holiday season can be
a difficult time for the families
of crime victims, Schmidt
said. We are grateful to Ms.
Billings for sharing her message of support with these families.
The poem is shared below
with the permission of the
author:
The passage of time is said
to ease griefs pain
But time really does little to
make deaths arrow less sharp
What rounds its point is the
power of the love
My heart will always hold for
you
You didnt pass away, your
life was stolen
And that truth is still lodged
like a bone in my throat
Yet I still breathe, still move,
still smile and still love
Because I know this is what you
would want me to do
And now I only miss you on
days that end in y
I have planted flowers in all the
vacant spaces your death left
And I continue to speak your
name so it will never be forgotten
I know therell always be a
wound in my heart
But Ill be okay because I feel it
slowly healing.
Annette Hope Billings
The Victims Services
Division of the Attorney
Generals Office is charged
with coordinating statewide
victim rights efforts and
administering grants and education programs. The division
also provides a Kansas crime
victims hotline at (800) 8289745.
The trafficking in persons
for sexual or labor exploitation is a stain on 21st century society, Attorney General
Schmidt said. Kansas continues to stand strong against
human trafficking. The public
can assist by reporting suspicious activity to the national
hotline at 888-3737-888 or to
local law enforcement in an
emergency situation. The
watchful eyes of Kansas citizens can help protect those who
are vulnerable from this crime
against human dignity.
The victims of human trafficking are often children,
forced into an unthinkable
world of exploitation, said
Secretary Gina Meier-Hummel.
The Kansas Department for
Children and Families is fully
committed to working with
our partnering state agencies,
law enforcement and members
of the public to prevent this
crime. We encourage anyone
who suspects the abuse of a
child, whether physical or
sexual, to contact the Kansas
Protection Center right away
at 1-800-922-5330.
Legislation passed earlier
this year in the Kansas legislature provided for several changes in law relating to minor
victims of human trafficking,
strengthening enforcement
efforts, discouraging demand
and expanding awareness
training. The measure won
unanimous support in both the
House of Representatives and
Senate.
Labor trafficking is the
recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision or obtain-
ing of a person for labor or
services, through the use
of force, fraud or coercion,
said Lana Gordon, Secretary
Kansas Department of Labor.
House Bill 2034 strengthened
our ability to prosecute labor
traffickers, but it is still a big
problem. If you or someone you
know is working under unfair
conditions, report it.
Together with partners in
our communities, the Kansas
Department of Health and
Environment (KDHE) raises awareness through public
health education to prevent
and reduce human trafficking, said Susan Mosier, M.D.,
MBA, FACS, KDHE Secretary
and State Health Officer.
The governor along with the
attorney generals office, DCF,
KDHE, KDOC and KDOL are
working together to educate
Kansans about the presence
of human trafficking, what
to look for and how to report
suspected human trafficking.
Educational information is
provided on the agencies websites.
The KDOC is eager to pursue its service to the state in
the area of human trafficking,
Secretary Joe Norwood said.
Our contact with both victims
and perpetrators of human
trafficking puts us on the front
line in the fight against this
harmful industry.

human trafficking, go to http://

Influenza activity increasing in Kansas
Kansas is now experiencing regional influenza activity, with increased influenza
cases in most regions of the
state. Outbreaks in long-term
care facilities have been reported to the Kansas Department
of Health and Environment
(KDHE). Four outbreaks have
been identified so far during
the 2017-2018 season.
While there has been an
expected uptick in reported
cases, influenza activity likely
has not yet peaked in Kansas.
KDHE urges people to get vaccinated to protect themselves
and their family members from
the flu. While flu vaccine can
vary in how well it works, it
is the best way to prevent flu
illness and serious flu complications, including those that
can result in hospitalization.
Influenza vaccine is recommended for nearly everyone
six months of age and older.
Receiving the influenza vaccine is especially important for
anyone at high risk of complications including babies and
young children, older persons,
and people with certain chronic conditions. Even if a person
is healthy, getting vaccinated
protects the people around
them. It is important for people
caring for young children and
those caring for persons with
medical conditions, who are at
a higher risk of severe complications, to get vaccinated.
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.
Depending on the severity of
the influenza season, 5-20 percent of the population may get
influenza each year. During the
peak of the 2016-2017 influenza season in Kansas, approximately 10 percent of all health
care visits were due to influenza-like illness in the clinics
where KDHE conducts surveillance for flu. Influenza was the
direct cause of 99 deaths and
may have contributed to an
additional 1,108 among Kansas
residents during the 2016-2017
influenza season. Additional
ways to avoid spreading influenza include covering coughs
and sneezes, washing your
hands and staying home when
sick.

Cowboy Church
The praise band at High
Point Cowboy Church opened
the Dec. 24 morning Christmas
Eve service with worship
music to the King, followed by
Pastor Jon Petty bringing the
message.
Focusing on the real meaning of the season, Pastor Petty
read from Matthew 1:18-23
pointing out the promise that
Immanuel, God is with us
and not still a baby born in
a manger. Whatever God asks
believers to do, they will succeed because of this promise.
Crest Preschool
On a daily basis students
learn to identify the alphabet,
the sounds of each letter, and
they learn a song to help them
remember the letter using
Animated Literacy. My students really enjoy Animated
Literacy. Im very impressed
how well they remember everything. They learn two letters a
week and review on Friday. We
finished the alphabet but now
we are working on blends. We
started the year with very few
students that could identify letters and now they can identify
most, if not all, letters.
We use Everyday March
to learn basic skills such as
shapes, measuring counting
graphing and number concepts. I like to incorporate
hands-on activities to reinforce
the concept. For example, we
measured with a nonstandard
unit using sticky notes to mea-
sure objects in the classroom.
Another time we identified
numbers and increased one-toone correspondence by counting out pumpkin seeds. Every
Friday we play bingo. Students
choose between alphabet bingo,
number bingo and shape bingo
to increase skills to recognizing the alphabet numbers and
shapes.
Every month we cook with
Mrs. Taylors culinary class.
My students really enjoy doing
this. They ask Are we going
to that cooking class? on a
weekly basis. So far weve
made apple muffins, pumpkin oatmeal energy bites and
will be decorating cookies for
Christmas. – /Bethany Michels,

Moving firewood long distances can spread pests, disease
Kansas Forest Service, USDA promote buying and burning locally
MANHATTAN Whenever
you purchase or harvest firewood, its a good idea to burn it
within about 50 miles of where
you obtain it. This reduces the
risk of spreading tree disease
and insect pests.
Cut wood is predominantly
used for outdoor cooking in the
summer as well as in fireplaces and wood-burning stoves in
the winter. For the most part,
our parents and grandparents
didnt give a second thought
to driving a trailer or pickup a
couple hundred miles, loading
up on wood, and bringing it
back home. But that thinking
has changed in recent years.
Any time you move firewood, youre increasing the
risk of moving both known
and unknown forest pests and
diseases that could threaten
the trees in your community,
as well as rural forests and
even farm windbreaks, said
Ryan Armbrust, a community forester with the Kansas
Forest Service. Insects and
disease pathogens can hitch
a ride on that firewood and
move a lot farther a lot faster
than they ever could through
natural spread.
Armbrust cites the twig beetle as a textbook example. Twig
beetles are known for spreading canker disease to black
walnut trees. The twig beetle
is a very poor flyer itll
maybe fly a quarter of a mile
on a good day, said Armbrust.
But if you have a walnut log
on the back of a trailer moving
down the interstate at 70 miles
an hour? Theres no limit to
where it could go.
The technical term for this
is human-vectored movement
when people unwittingly
become taxi drivers for animals, insects, plants or disease pathogens. These drivers
wont realize any income from
their passengers, however,
and the cost to their local environment could be staggering.
The most famous example
of this is Dutch Elm disease.
Totally alien to the United
States at the turn of the last
century, the disease arrived
with European beetles that
hitched a ride on a load of logs
shipped to Ohio around 1930.
The unstoppable, incurable
disease spent the next several
decades spreading throughout the New England area,
before moving south and west.
Millions of elm trees in community parks, urban areas and
home landscapes were lost.
The ounce of prevention to
this can be summed this way:
Buy it where you burn it.
Conversely, if youre traveling more than 50 miles to a
camp site or a getaway cabin,
wait until you arrive to seek
out a local source of wood.
Try to keep it within
50 miles, is what we ask,
Armbrust said. But realize
that theres the compounding
factor of regulatory boundaries. Most often those will be
state lines. Its 30 miles from
Pittsburg, Kansas, to Joplin,
Missouri, but theres a state
line you cross, which means
different state regulations.
The Kansas Department of
Agriculture regulates commercial firewood sales on this
side of the border. When purchasing packaged firewood,
look for labeling.
If its prepackaged firewood theres usually going
to be a USDA label or stamp,
and potentially a Kansas
Department of Agriculture
label or stamp, as well. The
labels will certify the origin
of the wood, and that its been
heat treated to reduce the risk
of any sort of insects or diseases.
Beyond that, Armbrust cautions that its the little things
that can sometimes make the
biggest difference. Say youre
going to a cabin in the mountains for a week or two, you
buy firewood when you get
there. Youre loading up to go
back home and you think, I
have a few pieces of wood left
over, Ill take them back home
for the fireplace.
Its those few sticks of leftover wood tend to travel the
farthest, he said.

Picking the right product is key to melting ice from sidewalks and driveways
MANHATTAN When it
comes to de-icing sidewalks
and driveways after a winter
storm, not all salts are created
equal.
Most of the popular de-icing products sold in stores are
chloride-based, each containing a different combination of
salt. They include:
sodium chloride,
potassium chloride,
calcium chloride, and
magnesium chloride.
Ward Upham, a horticulturist with K-State Research
and Extension, said knowing
the type of salt you are buying at the store could make
a big difference in protecting
plants, grass and even the concrete around your home.
The best deicer for landscapes that is readily available to homeowners is calcium chloride, Upham said.
It works at lower tempera-
tures than other products and
wont harm plants if excessive
amounts are not applied.
Of the four most common
choices, calcium chloride
has the lowest temperature
threshold, working to minus25 degrees F.
It generates its own heat
as it is mixing with water and
dividing into calcium and
chloride, so it can be effective at those lower temperatures, said Mary Knapp, a
climatologist at Kansas State
University.
Sodium chloride is commonly known as rock salt
and is sometimes mixed with
sand or other materials. It is
the most widely available and
often the least expensive.
But Knapp says sodium
chloride is only effective at
melting ice when temperatures are 12 degrees F or higher. When temperatures get
lower than that as they often
do in Kansas sodium chloride products will not be able
to do the job.
Magnesium chloride products are effective to 5 degrees
F, while potassium chloride
salts are the least effective,
melting only to 20 degrees F.
Regardless of the product,
use just enough de-icer to get
the job done, Upham said.
Excess amounts can harm
plants and concrete surfaces,
especially rock salt and potassium chloride.
Knapp said all of the chloride-based products can be
toxic to plants and animals.
She said blanketing areas
with de-icer is unsafe and
wont be any more effective
than smaller amounts.
Chloride is in all of these
products and thats going to
have the potential for problems with the environment,
she said. The calcium chloride and the magnesium chloride tend not to release as
much chloride as the sodium
chloride and the potassium
chloride do. So those two are
not as toxic as the other two.
Upham noted that calcium
magnesium acetate is a newer
product that does not contain
chloride. The chemicals work
together to prevent snow particles from sticking together
or to the surface. However,
the product is effective only to
20 degrees F.
Some homeowners have
tried fertilizer to melt away
ice, but Knapp says in order
for fertilizer to be effective as
a de-icer, you are overdoing
the fertilizer rates that you
would normally apply to plant
material.
As with any fertilizer, if
you apply more than needed,
you can have plant toxicity
from that. Even though you
might think of it as being safe
for plants, the rate you have to
apply is actually damaging.
Some natural products
wood chips, ash, sand, bird
seed, cat litter and sunflower
seeds arent normally effective to melt ice, but can help
provide traction on slippery
surfaces.
Regardless of product
used, Knapp said homeowners should take the time to
remove as much snow and ice
as possible before applying a
de-icing product.
If you throw a de-icer into
the midst of snow, it is going
to have very little effect, she
said. It will melt some, but it
just doesnt have the efficacy
it has when it is on ice.
And in some cases, Knapp
says its OK to let the sun help.
Take a look at what the
temperatures are going to
be, she said. If you get a
clear day following the storm,
you can have a lot of the
work taken care of for you
by Mother Nature. Let solar
radiation take the work out of
your hands.

Use your gift cards wisely
Gift cards have become a popular way for givers to make sure
the recipient gets something he
or she wants. If you unwrapped
a gift card under your tree this
year, now is your chance to
choose your own perfect gift!
As you venture out to the
stores or log on to your computer
to spend that gift card, make sure
youre aware of the fine print
that comes with your gift. Here
are some things to keep in mind:
Under Kansas law, gift cards
cannot expire for at least five
years. If the gift card does not
have an expiration date printed
on the card, then it is good until
you redeem it, no matter how
long that is.
Merchants can begin
charging inactivity fees against
the cards balance 12 months
after the card is issued. These
fees are required to be printed
on the card or the packaging it
comes in.
Pre-paid bank cards the
ones that are issued by a bank
or credit card company, not by
a specific store can, and usually do, charge additional fees for
purchasing the card, and on the
balance.
Be aware that even with
legal protections in place, the
value of a gift card may be lost
if the store goes out of business
before the card is used.
You should also remember to
keep unused gift cards in a safe
location. Treat them like cash.
Unlike credit cards, if a gift card
is lost or stolen, it can be difficult
to prove the card belonged to
you. Some retailers will allow
you to register your card online,
which protects the value of the
card if something does happen.
If you happen to receive a card
for a place you do not shop, it is
unlikely that the retailer will let
you exchange your card for cash.
However, there are websites that
allow you to sell or exchange
your unwanted gift cards. Use
caution when dealing with these
online sites to be sure you dont
become a victim of fraud. You
can also consider donating your
unwanted gift cards to a local
charity, especially cards for
grocery, clothing or department
stores.
If we ask the question
what do you think God is
like I am sure we would get
a variety of answers. Some
would say God is the sovereign creator of the universe. Others would say
God is pretty much just
like us, but maybe a little
smarter, a little better, able
to do a few more things.
In order to resolve this
question we need to examine
scripture to find out what the
characteristics of God are.
First, God is good. In
Matthew 19:17 Jesus asks
the rich young man, Why
do you ask me about what is
good….. There is only one
(God) who is good. God is
Kind and merciful. In Luke
6:35, Jesus is instructing the
twelve and he says concerning
God. Then your reward will
be great, and you will be sons
of the Most High because he
(God) is kind to the ungrateful
and wicked. Be merciful, just
as your Father is merciful.
God is also perfect and just.
In Deuteronomy 32:4 we read
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
from the pen of Moses, He
(God) is the Rock, his works
are perfect, and all his ways
are just. A faithful God who
does no wrong, upright and
just is he. So we find that
God is good, kind and merciful, perfect and just. To these
we can add God is also holy,
righteous, truthful and wise.
These are all moral attributes
of God.
God also has natural attributes, one of which is immutability which means God cannot
change his character. Progress
and change may characterize
some of Gods work, but God
himself remains unchanged
otherwise he would not be per-
fect. This is why we can trust
and believe Gods word.
I believe when we think
about God we need to make
sure we are measuring ourselves against his standard,
not against some standard we
create. God is the sovereign
creator and sustainer of the
universe not someone similar
to ourselves. All of the characteristics of God I mentioned
above should draw us closer to
God. These are all the things
that are right about God and
wrong about ourselves. These
are the very characteristics
Jesus exhibited when he was
here on earth. Jesus life here
confirmed the character of
God. In John 14:9a Jesus tells
Philip when Philip asks to see
the Father, Dont you know
me, Philip, even after I have
been among you such a long
time? Anyone who has seen
me has seen the Father. So I
leave you with this question,
what is God like to you?

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, January 2, 2018
LOCAL
20 years ago: 4 drug labs raided in 4 months KDA receives grant to
10 years ago…
Some 30 history projects and
three awards later, Dorothy
Lickteig is hard at work again
on yet another volume of
Anderson Countys history.
This time the project is her 6th
volume of Anderson County
gleanings that will cover 1987
to 2000. The period of the 1990s
was a controversial time in
local events with the construction of a new local high school
and later the beginning of the
Prairie Spirit Trail. By the time
the job is complete, Lickteig
will have reviewed more than
12,000 pages of archived newspapers. The job is long and
tedious, but Lickteig says its
more of a mission than anything else.
20 years ago…
Eight drug arrests stemming from raids on four
alleged methamphetamine labs
in Anderson County over a
four-month period last summer
might lead to the belief that the
local war on drugs has gotten a
boost. But as one suspect from
THAT WAS THEN
Melissa Hobbs
SEND LOCAL HISTORY PHOTOS, INFORMATION TO
REVIEW@GARNETT-KS.COM
the summer arrests goes to jury
trial January 14, and two more
are set for hearings January 20,
local law officers are hesitant
to claim too much of a victory
against drug activity. Officers
say the four suspected meth
labs they took down last summer no doubt took a good deal
of the drug off local streets, but
they arent sure if the dip in
supply served merely to raise
the price of what was already
for sale, or if other suppliers
have come into the scene since
the arrests to handle the customers demands.
30 years ago…
A part of the small town
of Harris will no longer be in
operation after December 27, as
this is the final day for services
at the Harris United Methodist
Church. The church was originally founded in the middle
of the 1880s northwest of the
town of Harris about two and
a half miles. It was one of the
first churches founded in the
county.
40 years ago…
A story in last weeks
Garnett Review told about the
Gwinn Shells finding persimmons under the hood of their
car. Albert C. Miller of Garnett
called the Review to say that
possums dont pack persimmons, but pack rats do. He
said one of his neighbors once
wondered how nails and other
things in his garage were being
switched around. Pieces of rags
were even found under the
hood of his car. The neighbor
finally made a certain identifi-
cation of the culprit when the
pack rat died while squeezing
its head between the rafters of
the garage.
100 years ago…
We find it impossible to take
much stock in the advice of
these high-priced experts
who are continually telling
people how to conserve food
supplies at so much per tell.
For instance, it says, We just
cant help doubting the practicality of advice from a man
in Washington who draws big
pay and lives at a $10 a day
hotel to a man we know locally,
despite the fact that the man
in Washington has $152,000,000
at his disposal for administering the foodless food law and
another $14,000,000 for making
a food survey, whatever that is.
We confess to a feeling that this
$166,000,000 would be mighty
apt to do more good if food were
bought outright with it and
administered to the families
which are really hard pressed
to get along.
Farm Service Agency A vital source of
assistance to Americas farmers and ranchers
WASHINGTON Through
the work of dedicated staff in
over 2,100 county and state
offices, the U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA) Farm
Service Agency (FSA) provides
vital farm safety-net assistance to agricultural producers
across America.
Weve seen recent challenges in farm income and commodity prices, said Dr. Robert
Johansson, Acting Deputy
Under Secretary for the Farm
Production and Conservation
mission area. The safety net
provided in the 2014 Farm Bill
has helped producers withstand economic losses as well
as losses resulting from natural disasters. Loans for operating expenses, farm purchases
and other purposes help current producers stay in business
and allow a new generation of
farmers and ranchers get their
start.
Agriculture demands working capital. According to
Johansson, FSA provided credit, either directly or guaranteed through commercial lenders, to 120,000 family farmers
across the country.
In fiscal year 2017, USDA
Farm Loan Programs pumped
$6 billion in support to a
diverse group of producers
across America. That was the
second highest total in FSA
history. Over $2.5 billion of
that total was direct and guaranteed operating loans, and
another $3.5 billion was allocated for direct and guaranteed
farm ownership loans. This
additional financing enabled
farmers and ranchers across
the country to access capital
to start their operations, or to
expand their existing operations. The new lending continued the recent growth in FSAs
farm loan portfolio.
FSA highlights from the
year include:
Agriculture Risk Coverage
and Price Loss Coverage
(ARC/PLC) and Conservation
Reserve Program (CRP)
USDA is issuing approximately $8 billion in payments
under the ARC and PLC programs to agricultural producers who suffered market downturns in 2016.
In 2017, FSA distributed
$1.6 billion in CRP payments
to over 375,000 Americans for
doing their part in improving
water quality, reducing soil
erosion and increasing wildlife
habitat.
Disaster Assistance
In response to Hurricanes
Harvey, Irma and Maria,
USDA announced special procedures to assist producers
in states and territories who
lost crops or livestock or had
other damage to their farms or
ranches. Also, because of the
severe and widespread damage caused by the hurricanes,
USDA provided flexibility to
assist farm loan borrowers.
FSA dispatched additional
staff to the affected areas and,
in response to a request for
assistance, rolled out a special
program providing vouchers to
dairy herd owners in Puerto
Rico who used the assistance to
purchase feed.
USDA also provided extensive assistance for a variety of
other disasters throughout the
country, including drought in
the northern high plains, wildfires in the west and central
plains, floods, tornados, freezes
and other storms. For example, in July, USDA authorized
the use of additional CRP lands
for emergency grazing and
haying in and around portions
of Montana, North Dakota
and South Dakota affected by
severe drought. USDA also
added the ability for farmers
and ranchers in those areas
to hay and graze CRP wetland
and buffer practices. This followed a previous action in
April and June to assist the
area and provided livestock
producers with an additional
feed source. In October, FSA
teamed with other USDA agencies to provide assistance to
wildfire-damaged areas of
northern California, including
loans and other disaster assistance programs.

Kansas Infant Mortality Rate Holds
Steady at 5.9 per 1,000 Live Births
TOPEKA The Kansas
Department of Health and
Environment (KDHE) reports
the Kansas Infant Mortality
Rate (IMR) held steady in 2016,
at 5.9 infant deaths per 1,000
live births, with the lowest
number infant deaths (223)
ever reported in Kansas. This
rate remained unchanged from
5.9 per 1,000 live births (230
infant deaths) in 2015.
The Infant Mortality Rate
(IMR) reflects the health
and well-being of a nation
or state. The U.S. rate is 6.0
infant deaths per 1,000 live
births. The Kansas IMR of 5.9
is below the Healthy People
2020 (HP2020) target of 6.0.
Healthy People 2020 is a 10-year
program from the Office of
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion of HHS.
The Kansas Department
of Health and Environment
is committed to working with
our partners to reduce infant
mortality and disparities in
infant mortality. Together
with community partners,
we have continued to main-
tain the lowest ever recorded
infant mortality rate for our
State through applied research
and community intervention,
said Susan Mosier, MD, MBA,
FACS, Secretary of KDHE and
State Health Officer.
The White non-Hispanic
population IMR (5.2) and the
Hispanic IMR (5.1) also met the
HP2020 target while the Black
non-Hispanic (15.2) rate did
not.
For Kansas in 2016, the
White non-Hispanic population group had the highest
number of infant deaths (139
infant deaths), while the Black
non-Hispanic group had the
highest rate (15.2 per 1,000
live births). The disparity in
rates between White and Black
non-Hispanic infant deaths
was evident in all periods of
death.
In the last century, the
Kansas infant mortality rate
(IMR) has decreased dramatically, from 73.5 deaths per 1,000
live births in 1912 (2,795 infant
deaths) to 5.9 in 2016 (223).
Even though we have
reached our lowest number of
infant deaths ever reported, we
are not done. We will continue
to work with our partners to
further decrease infant mortality and disparities in infant
mortality, said Dr. Mosier.
One way KDHE helps at-risk
communities is through the
Healthy Start Home Visitor
Services. Maternal and Child
Health Grants are provided
to local health departments
so they can provide outreach
visits to pregnant women and
families with newborns. Under
public health nurse supervision, visitors provide in-home
interventions such as education, support and referrals to
other community services.

from SCORE, the nations largest volunteer network of expert
business mentors, to support
new and beginning farmers.
The agreement provides new
help and resources for beginning ranchers, veterans,
women, socially disadvantaged
Americans and others, providing new tools to help them both
grow and thrive in agri-business.
Johansson said these accomplishments are in line with
Secretary Perdues goals of
maximizing the ability of the
men and women of Americas
agriculture and agribusiness
sector to create jobs, prioritizing customer service every
day for American taxpayers
and consumers and ensuring
the food we produce meets the
strict safety standards weve
established while always
remembering that Americas
agricultural bounty comes
directly from the land.
support SAVE Farm
MANHATTAN The
Kansas
Department
of
Agriculture has received
a grant from the U.S.
Department of Agricultures
National Institute of Food and
Agriculture (NIFA) to support the development of the
Servicemember Agricultural
Vocation Education program,
also known as SAVE. The
award was one of 36 grants
made through the Beginning
Farmer
and
Rancher
Development Program, authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill,
which aims to help address
issues associated with the rising age and decrease in the
number of U.S. Farmers and
Ranchers.
SAVE works to bridge
the gap between the need for
new farmers in our country
and the large population of
veterans and transitioning
service members looking for
new opportunities, a high
percentage of whom indicate
an interest in farming. The
SAVE Farm vision is to provide occupational agricultural
training, therapy and engagement to a significant number
of veterans, serve members
and family members on a
training farm in Kansas.
This grant is central to
SAVEs growth and success,
said Gary LaGrange, president of SAVE. As we move
toward a mature, comprehensive training model for our
service members and veterans, this grant enables us
to significantly expand our
reach and ability to bring
new, younger men and women
into farming and agriculture.
It is a pleasure to work with
KDA and USDA as we seek to
address the national challenges facing veterans and farmers.
This grant will support
three specific programs as
part of the SAVE Farm: a bee
keeping training program,
farm tours including farm
business planning and financial management, and apprenticeships on working farms
with potential succession pos-
sibilities.
The SAVE Farm serves a
valuable role in providing a
bridge between the agriculture community and the service we owe to our veterans
as they transition to civilian
life, said Kansas Secretary
of
Agriculture
Jackie
McClaskey. The hands-on
training and therapy provided through this program open
the door for these veterans to
a fulfilling future career in
agriculture.
The average age of farmers in the U.S. is approaching
60, and farm succession has
been an increasingly critical
concern. More than 60 percent of veterans come from
families that have farmed
in the previous generation.
NIFAs mission is to invest
in and advance agricultural research, education and
extension that solve societal
challenges, and this $257,000
grant to Kansas will serve that
mission. At the same time, it
will further KDAs purpose to
serve, promote and grow the
states largest industry: agriculture.
