Firefighters deal with heavy smoke at a house fire that killed a 67-year-old man.
Investigators say the fire appears to be accidental.
Homebound man found
deceased in his bed; no foul

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 1-20-2015 / Vickie Moss
Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback, who was born at the Anderson County
Hospital in 1956, spoke to attendees at the ribbon cutting ceremony
for the new, $26 million hospital facility, which was recently completed. The new hospital officially will open Jan. 29.
This is one of the semi-private rooms in the new
Residential Living Center at Anderson County
Hospital. The two-person room is separated by
a bathroom in the center, giving each person a
greater degree of privacy. See more photos on

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A house fire that apparently killed a homebound man northwest of Garnett last week appears
to have started by accident, fire and
emergency officials said.
David Bryan, 67, died Wednesday,
Jan. 14, inside the home at 22030
NW 2150 Road northwest of Garnett,
which was likely destroyed by fire.
Those who knew him said Bryan was
homebound, and a caretaker who
came to check on him Wednesday
morning discovered the fire.
The caretaker arrived at the home
around 8:52 a.m. Wednesday and saw
heavy smoke coming from nearly all
windows and doors of the home. His
passenger called 911 while the caretaker kicked in the door and attempted to enter the house. But because of
heavy smoke and extreme heat, he
was not able to get inside. The man
knew Bryan was inside.
Within minutes, Anderson County
Sheriffs Detective Wes McClain and
Sheriff Vernon Valentine arrived but
also were unable to get inside. They
saw the ceiling of the home was collapsing, making it impossible to enter
the home.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Kansas Gov. Sam
Brownback joked at Saturdays ribbon cutting for Anderson Countys
new hospital that hed been
scarred mentally by Dr. Mildred
Julius, the doctor who delivered him
at ACH in 1956.
His comments prefaced his
keynote address at the ceremony
in which he joined local officials
and leadership of St. Lukes Health
System to introduce the new building to area residents. As a child,
Brownback said he needed a shot but
wasnt cooperating. When he refused
to sit still, Dr. Julius hiked up her
dress, threw her leg over me to hold
me down and stabbed the needle
into his leg.
I guess I got her on a bad day,
Brownback joked. She was kind of
irritated, so she said, Well, Im not
going to put up with this.

Business class living now possible in Garnett
a recent trend to allow resiCity leaders change
dential use of primarily busirules to allow owners to ness or industrial buildings.
Some cities have allowed such
live in business buildings uses as a way to preserve old,
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A zoning rule
change will allow owners to
live on the first floor of buildings in business and industrial
areas of Garnett, with hopes of
preserving buildings that may
otherwise collapse or be torn
down from lack of use.
Garnett city commissioners agreed last week to follow
unused downtown buildings,
and Garnett commissioners
said the potential to save such
buildings overrides other concerns that come with letting
people live among businesses.
In theory, someone who
wants to live in a dilapidated downtown building would
have to renovate the building
according to current city codes.
If at some point in the future an
owner wanted to turn the building back from a residence into
a business, it would be much
easier to do if the building was
being used for something rather than sitting empty for 20
or more years, Mayor Preston
Peine said.
But city leaders stopped
short of allowing just anyone to live among businesses.
Commissioner Greg Gwin said
he was worried that a slum
lord landlord may see the
potential, purchase a business
building to convert into apartments, and not take care of the
place once renters move in. In
Gwins scenario, the building
could be in even worse shape
over the coming years, and
would need to be demolished.
City staff also didnt like
the idea of allowing someone
to rent space in a building
near businesses. They foresaw
numerous complaints from
renters who would dislike the
sounds and smells of a neighboring business, even when

JD Mersman, Emergency
Management Director, met with
the commission. He brought by
the new used truck for the Garnett

was held on the policy of the
department to call out several

more sense to call out the Garnett

departments across the county.

service to purchase five new radios at a cost of $3000. The grant will
pay back $1,500. Commissioner
Highberger moved to purchase 5
radios from TF Comm at a cost of

by the close-knit community,
and quickly learned that not
only did Jane Feuerborn know
almost everybody, she was
related to most of them, too.
When Carons husband Bob
died, Feuerborn took control
of the business side of dying.
Feuerborns brother owned the
local funeral home, and she
helped Caron with the funeral
arrangements.
When Caron attended Jane
Feuerborns funeral Saturday,
she realized how much of an
impact her friend had made
on her life the past 20 years.
They had drifted apart as
Feuerborns health deteriorated, which made Caron determined to reconnect with some
of her other friends.
She was a wonderful
friend, Caron said. Im going
to miss her more than I imagined.
to be able to provide the best
quality care we possibly can
for everybody so their quality
of life is the best it can be, their
length of life is the most it can
possibly be. And yet as we do
that, you have a soul to care for,
too. This is a big struggle.
Its a beautiful thing what
happens in places like this,
where those two meet – the need
for the heart and the need for
health. … These are buildings
we celebrate but I think what
we celebrate is man caring for
each other.
More than 400 people attended the ceremony, crowding into
the new building for the general publics first look at the $26
million facility, which county
voters approved by a narrow
margin in 2013. It took about a
year and a half to construct the
building, which sits just west
of the current, 1949-era hospital
building.
The hospital building is
owned by the Anderson County
government, but the building
is leased to St. Lukes Health
System, which provides healthcare services and staff. As part
of an agreement to entice voters to approve the new facility,
St. Lukes increased its lease
payments, and that money will
pay most of the costs of the
building.
Patients will move into the
new building Jan. 29, at which
time the building officially will
open. The old building will be
demolished, and the site will
become new parking areas.
Hospital officials expect that
process to be completed sometime this spring, and have
asked people to be patient
during the transitional period.
After the speeches and ribbon cutting ceremony Saturday
morning, hospital staff provided tours of the new building.
The building is decorated
in soothing earth tones, with
light green and tan walls. It
features two fireplaces, one in
the main lobby area and one in
the Residential Living Center.
Large windows provide lots
of light, giving the facility a
bright and open feel.
Even with the more open
feel, the new hospital will
allow much more privacy for
patients, from registration
to rooms. Exam rooms, especially in the emergency room
area, will offer more privacy. In-patients will have private rooms. In the Residential
Living Center, two-person
rooms are divided by a bathroom in the center. That means
residents more or less have a
private room, although they
can access their neighbors
room through a short hallway.
The setup should especially
appeal to couples, hospital staff
said.
A cafeteria, which the hospital calls Cafe, is easily accessible and will offer a variety of
menu options for patients and
visitors.

space someone could utilize.
But they agreed with Gwins
concerns, and said they would
allow only a buildings owner
to live in the first floor portion
of the building.
Currently, a building owner
is allowed to rent an upper
level of a building for residential use, even in a business district. The new rules would not
change that; they would affect
only the first floor of the building.
City commissioners and
staff pointed to examples of
hybrid situations that currently exist, such as one building
owner who lives in an upstairs
portion of his building but utilizes the downstairs as a sort
of private lounge area, with no
business use. Owners of another building live upstairs, and
the first floor of the building is
not used.
Commissioner
Gordon
Blackie abstained from voting on the issue, saying he
likely sparked the discussion
through a request to renovate
his building, which houses
Lighthouse Electric, to allow
residential living for him and
his wife. Peine and Gwin voted
to approve the zoning change.

Solander, who owns a build-
They also wanted to restrict living quarters to 49 percent of the
first floor, so that the building
could remain primarily a business and not a residence. The
citys zoning committee, an
advisory board with no authority to implement such changes,
disagreed with city staff and
recommended no restrictions
on who could live in such buildings, nor limit the amount of
room they could take to do so.
As a compromise, city leaders agreed to allow people to
live on the first floor with no
restrictions on how much of the
ing that features his law office
downstairs and a rental apartment upstairs, said the issue is
an example of a different and
more modern approach to zoning. He said allowing more flexibility in zoning is a trend that
tries to address problems with
crumbling downtown business
districts and blighted commercial and industrial areas. More
cities are looking at creative
approaches to save dilapidated
buildings and infrastructure,
rather than strictly limiting
zoning districts, he said.

The second accident occurred
early Saturday morning, Jan.
17, on 1100 Road at Colorado
Road near Westphalia. A truck
driven by Andy Yoder, 53 of
Welda and the Mont Ida area,
was headed east when the truck
went off the south side of the
road and overturned at least
one and a half times, coming
to rest on its top, according
to a report from the Anderson
County Sheriffs Department.
Yoder was wearing a seatbelt
and was not trapped nor ejected. A passer-by discovered the
wreck, which was reported
at 1:55 a.m. Saturday; Yoder
apparently told someone at the
scene that he believed he was
there about two hours before he
was found.
Yoder suffered serious injuries and was taken to Anderson
County Hospital, where he was
then taken by air ambulance to
a Kansas City area hospital.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, January 20, 2015
EDITORIAL
ACH: A vote of confidence
Saturdays ribbon-cutting event for
Anderson Countys new hospital facility
accented a story that I think has been under
told in our community.
That story is about investment and value
and how easily both sometimes go unrecognized in small communities. The gist
of it is this: Anytime someone, whether a
billion-dollar healthcare company or a local
entrepreneur opening a bakery, an auto
repair shop- whatever invests in a business in our community, we should consider
it a vote of confidence in our town.
The fact that an organization like St.
Lukes sought to up the ante in its investment and partnership with Garnett and
Anderson County is telling. Though how
our nation will eventually pay for more
expensive healthcare for an expanding
aged population is still unknown, St. Lukes
clearly believes Garnett and Anderson
County Hospital will play a role in whatever
regional answer is revealed. The partnership under which Anderson County sold
bonds to finance the $26 million facilitys
construction and the fact that St. Lukes
operating lease for the facility increases to
cover most of the costs of the bond payments
is proof that all the players have skin in
the game. This is a partnership that points
toward a future in which health care is valued by leaders as a community asset and
offered by top professionals in a top-notch
facility.
Whether we all realize it or not, with
the new ACH our community has taken a
major step toward securing our own future.
Thank you voters, county leaders, patients
and medical staff and St. Lukes management for your foresight and confidence.
Je suis who?
In the rush to lock arms with the surviving members of the French satire magazine
Charlie Hebdo after its offices were attacked
by radical Muslims and 12 staffers killed in
recent weeks, a lot of free expression proponents in the U.S. and the world got a dose of
oh, really? after finding out a little more
about Charlie Hebdo.
The left-wing, anti-religion publication
earned the ire of Jews, Christians and
others only perhaps a little less than that

ly maligned leaders and followers alike as
ignorant sheep following oppressive religious doctrine, operated under the guise
of satire although its approach was clearly
more on the scale of attack than humor.
Prior to this months attack by gunmen
the magazine had been sued 13 times by
Catholic organization for various alleged
defamation, including one cartoon cover
that showed the Holy Trinity engaged in
sodomy.
Yeah, these guys were a bunch of real
charmers.
Knowledge of their vulgarity makes it
tougher for many of us who consider ourselves proponents of free speech to take
up the signs proclaiming I am (Je suis)
Charlie. Indeed, after learning the content
and editorial direction of the magazine,
most Americans would describe themselves
as definitely not Charlie.
But their obnoxious activities were in
fact illustrative of the concept of free expression as America has helped to define it for
the rest of the world. Flag burning issues,
censorship, destruction of controversial
books weve seen it all before and the
world has learned if you hope to live in
freedom you have to love it enough to let
someone rub your face in it occasionally.
Thinking people of conscience protest,
debate, boycott and seek satisfaction under
law. They dont silence ideological opposition by shooting down innocents. Thats the
difference between civilization and barbarism. It its blood-stained vulgarity, Charlie
Hebdo proved it.

Barack, Mitch, John and Charlie
Surely you didnt believe these guys, with
their promises of bipartisanship and compromise? Thats what we got from President
Barack Obama, but particularly from the
Republican congressional leaders after an
election where Capitol Hill — all the real

— became a GOP fiefdom, facing off against
the Democrats shrinking territory down the
Pennsylvania Avenue no-mans-land that ends

New Senate Majority Leader Mitch

Europes problem with immigration
The New York Times ran a front-page
article after the Charlie Hebdo massacre
on Europes dangerous moment. As terrorists rampaged through Paris, ultimately
killing 17, what was the cause of this particular alarm? That anti-immigration parties in
Europe might gain.
The Times article captured perfectly the
reaction of polite opinion to the Paris attacks,
which is driven almost as much by fear that
someone might notice that Europe has an
immigration problem as it is by fear of the
terrorism itself.
Europes anti-immigration parties run
the gamut, from the loathsome (Greeces
Golden Dawn), to the unsavory (Frances
National Front), to the more or less respectable (Britains UKIP). What they all have in
common is that they benefit from the refusal
of mainstream parties to admit the obvious:
If a country is manifestly having trouble
assimilating the immigrants it already has,
it shouldnt add to their numbers willy-nilly.
Much more important than solidarity and
unity — stirring as those things are, exemplified in the massive march in Paris — would be
a dose of honesty and realism on this issue.
The case of France is stark. Roughly 12 percent of its population is foreign-born, about
the European average, according to the
Migration Policy Institute. But it also has a
particularly high percentage of descendants

of immigrants. Because of Frances colonial
history in Algeria and other countries in the
Maghreb, many of them are Muslim.
It has the largest Muslim population of any
Western European country, both in absolute
numbers and in percentage terms. These
immigrants have tended to cluster in the
suburbs of Paris, where they have become
self-reinforcing religio-ethnic islands in the
broader French sea. These areas are not just
alienated from the French state; they are
actively hostile to it.
Although Frances problem has peculiarly
French characteristics, a version of the Paris
attacks easily could have happened in Britain,
Sweden, the Netherlands or Germany. They,
too, have Muslim populations that, in some
areas, havent fully integrated.
Why does the United States not have the
same problem (although it has experienced
its own homegrown attacks)? Its assimilationist machinery, for all its flaws, is in better working order. It is an open, economically
dynamic society. But this is partly a function
of numbers. Immigrants to the U.S. still largely come from Christian countries and dont
feel the powerful pull of a religious identity
putting them at odds with their new country.
This is a rather basic point: The quantity of
immigration inevitably affects the quality
of assimilation. The elites reflex on immigration is always to say more. The populations of many European countries want to
say less. Their case is stronger after the
horrors of the last week, although much intellectual and political energy will be devoted to
denying that the Paris attacks had anything
to do with immigration or Islam.
Addressing a long-ago crisis in Athens,
Demosthenes said of those demanding to
know his alternative, I will first give them
this answer — the most just and true of all
— Do not do what you are doing now. On
immigration, that is the counsel that Europe
needs to hear, and to heed.

How will suitable education provision affect budget?
Gov. Sam Brownbacks first last-gubernatorial-term budget is out, and in some
respects, its clever and its probably close to
what he would have liked to have proposed
several years ago, but couldnt because of
that darn election business.
Now, whether you 433,196 Kansans who
voted for him for governor or you 436,306
Kansans who split your votes between
Democrat Paul Davis and Libertarian Keen
Umbehr (yes, the two got more votes than
Brownback but thats not how it works),
Brownback won and he has pretty much free
rein to put together a budget for the next four
years.
You get the drift of where hes going, and
will get to continue to go unless Kansas votersthose with children or grandchildren or
even neighbor children in public schools
dont like the trend or maybe dont like the
trend.
In K-12 education his concept is fairly simple: Get rid of the school finance formula and
instead block-grant to school districts virtually the same amount of money each got this
year, but make them pay for a part of their
employees pensions.
Whats that come down to? Forcing those
school districts which many legislators
believe are spendthrifts to economize, including cutting administration, cooperating with
other districts for things like payroll, information technology and such, to make sure
they have enough money for teachersthat
in the classroom we keep hearing about.
Its those economies Brownback is looking
for. Fire an associate district superintendent
and hire two classroom teachers? Probably

fine with Brownback and probably a majority of legislators.
Practically, its probably possible for
school districts for the upcoming budget year
to pare some administrative expenses, divert
those savings to teachers and get along OK,
but probably with a few less Audis parked in
the administrative sections of school district
parking lots.
But the following yearand remember,
Brownback issued a two-year budget last
weekthings will get tighter and there may
be some school district property tax increases
proposed. Districts with enrollment growth,
or growth in student populations with special
needs which under the current finance formula carry a weighting or additional state
support, well, thats where it gets tricky.
It also becomes a test for the folks who
run the school districtsseeing what they
will cut local spending on to make sure that
students never feel the effect of the tightened
budget. A few more kids in a classroom, probably OK, but nobody wants a third-graders
class to look like a college freshman political
science class with more than a hundred kids
in it. At the K-12 school level, we want teachers to know the students names, not just
their place on a seating chart.
There is budget cutting, and then there
is budget-cutting. Done smartly, dollars
are saved and nobody besides bookkeepers
notice it. Done smartly, too, budget cuts can
be made that will draw the attention of district patrons/voters and cause an uproar that
will be felt at the next election. Say, eliminate
debate or art, or have Friday night football
become a non-contact sport.
Somewhere, of course, theres that constitutional requirement that the state make
provision for suitable education of children,
and the decision of what is suitablewere
talking state financing herebecomes an
issue. But, remember, the Legislature and
the courts have adopted new standards for
suitable and nobodys sure how to measure
students against those standards.
Interesting tactical/philosophical/budget
battle ahead. Brownback scores first, voters hopefully start paying attention now, to
decide whether in 2016 he gets a legislature
that supports him or whether he starts brewing coffee by the cup, not the pot

that its not a haven for nut cases: I dont
want the American people to think that if they
add a Republican president to a Republican
Congress, thats going to be a scary outcome.
I want the American people to be comfortable
with the fact that the Republican House and
Senate is a responsible, right-of-center, governing majority.
Whats scary is that he and his cohorts could
talk about cooperation with a straight face. At
least on the other side of the Hill, in the House
of Representatives action central, Speaker
John Boehner also was waxing eloquent about
bipartisanship … sort of: May the fruits of our
labors be ladders our children can use …
Yes, his metaphors were mixed, but so was
the message he and his fellow Republicans
delivered with their first actions. Instead of
deal-making, they seemed much more interested in embarrassing President Obama. Potshot
No. 1 will be legislation that authorizes construction of the Keystone pipeline, which
would transport oil extracted from Canadas
extremely dirty tar sands and swoosh it down
to ports in Texas.
Obamas press secretary immediately said
that the president would veto the bill if it
passed Congress. The problem is that this is a
bogus confrontation. As the brilliant columnist
Ron Fournier writes in the National Journal:
Theyre playing you for fools on both sides of
the Keystone XL pipeline debate. Oil lobbyists
and conservatives call it a jobs project; theyre
wrong. Environmental lobbyists and liberals
call it a globe killer; theyre wrong. In other
words, this is a tempest in a pipeline.
But its a chance for the Rs and the Ds to
stomp on one another and to lay the groundwork for the next presidential campaign. As
we should know, 2015 is really about 2016. The
problem is that there are plenty of ways this
year that our politicians can do us great harm.
In mid-March, for instance, that old bugaboo
the debt ceiling rears its ugly face like it inevitably does. The countrys borrowing authority again will be running out, and already the
extreme rhetoric is flying about, particularly
from true believers who insist that its better
if the United States defaults on its financial
obligations than if they move one inch from
whatever their grievances are.
Perhaps cooler heads will prevail, but so far
all weve gotten for assurance is the promise of
bipartisan constructive engagement. As were
seeing, that is an empty promise.
Now, Id like to depart for a moment and ask
for indulgence as I join my fellow journalists
around the word in saying Je Suis Charlie,
or I Am Charlie. If we cant feel secure in
presenting ideas, then were not free.

SENIOR PERSPECTIVES
Hunt for truth to family rumors leads to love of history
GARNETT Rumors that her family
had famous relatives from presidents
to burlesque dancers helped Juanita
Kellerman discover a passion for genealogy. What began as a quest to prove
some of those vague family connections
transitioned into a lifetime of helping others trace their roots, often with the goal
of proving ties to the U.S. Revolutionary
War for membership into the Daughters
of the American Revolution.
Kellerman, whose maiden name was
Tyler, never really knew her paternal
grandfather. He died when she was just
3 years old. But her father often told the
family that her grandfather claimed to
be related to the 10th U.S. President John
Tyler and the 18th President Ulysses S.
Grant, as well as Pennsylvania founder
William Penn and the famous fan dancer Sally Rand, an actress and burlesque
dancer known for incorporating ostrich
feathers into her provocative dances.
Kellermans father didnt know if any
of Grandfathers stories were true, but
young Juanita always was curious about
those mysterious ties to American history.
In 1954, while in her 20s, she read a
half-page feature in the Kansas City Star
about the Heart of America Genealogical
Society. A member of the group had long
heard family stories of being related to
Thomas Jefferson, and joined the group in
order to trace her familys history.
The article reminded Kellerman of
another feature in the Star about 10 years
earlier, soon after Harry S. Truman was
inaugurated as the 33rd U.S. President. The
paper printed a chart of Trumans ancestry, which included a Tyler branch of the
family tree. President Trumans grandmother was Nancy Holmes, who came
from Jefferson County, Ky. Kellerman
knew her paternal grandmother had
mentioned the name Nancy Holmes
when speaking of her own grandmother,
a woman who also came from Jefferson
County, Ky. But when Kellerman asked
her about it, her grandmother said, Oh,
no, honey. I would never be related to a
president.
With all the questions surrounding possible presidential relationships,
Kellerman thought about joining the
Heart of America Genealogical Society.
Her family laughed, telling her the membership dues surely would be too expensive. And although membership was limited, the group asked her to join once they
heard her story. The dues, she learned,
were just $2 per year.
Most of the members of the group were
retired teachers, and they had become
experts at genealogical research. As
teachers, though, they made it their mission to impart their wisdom to Kellerman,
but only if she was willing to tackle the
difficult job of learning how to conduct
thorough research.
At that time, genealogical research
required careful work of sifting through
marriage and death certificates, cemetery
records and conversations with family
members. She didnt have the benefit of
online records, and couldnt afford to travel to places where the records were kept.
Research was tedious.
It just took time, Kellerman said.
There were many challenges. One of the
most difficult aspects she found was digging through records in Jackson County,
Missouri, in the Kansas City area, where
records were a mess. Kellerman came
close to proving Nancy Holmes was one
of her ancestors, but couldnt find any
record of a marriage that would cement
the connection. Another woman in the
group recognized the name, and found a
document that offered sufficient proof.
Kellerman was able to prove she was related to Nancy Holmes, who not only was the
grandmother of President Truman but
also had family connections to some of the
most important people in the Kansas City
area.
Kellerman learned she also was related, in some manner, to several members of the genealogical society. The
women in the group also were members
of the Independence Pioneers Chapter
Daughters of the American Revolution.
In order to become a member of DAR,
a woman must prove direct lineage to
someone who took part in the American
Revolution. Although her family did not
know of any such ties, Kellerman eventually was able to prove relationships to
at least 12 people from the Revolutionary
War, all on her fathers side.
She also was able to prove her grandfather was right, for the most part, about
his relatives. She proved ties to President
Grant and somewhat tenuous ties to Sally
Rand, the fan dancer, but never any ties to
William Penn.
In 1969, Kellerman helped establish
Four Winds Chapter DAR in Garnett.
She had moved to Garnett in 1959, 10
years after her marriage to Lawrence
Kellerman, longtime police chief, and
they raised three children. Kellerman also
was a charter member of the Anderson
County Historical Society, and served
as secretary of that group for about 40
years. She also worked for newspapers at
Garnett Publishing for about 13 years, and
as secretary of the First Christian Church
for 18 years. Kellerman said she preferred
jobs that allowed her to be home when her
children came home from school.
As part of Four Winds Chapter DAR,
Kellerman has helped many people
research their family trees and prove

lineage to someone involved with the
Revolutionary War. At times, she discovered unexpected connections to her
own family, like a Greeley woman whose
ancestor served in the war with one of
Kellermans ancestors.
I enjoy seeing the excitement on peoples faces when we prove their ancestors, Kellerman said of her genealogical
research.

New bus to help transport people throughout county
GARNETT A new bus now transports
people throughout Anderson County to
doctors appointments, shopping trips
and other necessary locations.
The Anderson County Council on
Aging last week received the 2015 Ford
El Dorado bus, which replaces one of the
organizations two buses. The bus was
purchased with grant money from the
Kansas Department of Transportation.
The aging council paid 20 percent of the
$55,272 cost of the bus.
Most people dont understand how
the countys transportation system
works, the councils board members
said. Anyone can ride the bus, although
children must be accompanied by an
adult. Most people think the bus is only
for senior citizens, but its not, council chairman Marlyn Burkhardt said.
Many of those who ride are senior citizens, but the bus is available to anyone.
Theres no age limit, she said.
The council operates two buses, a
city bus and a county bus. The new
bus will replace a 2001 Chevrolet on
the county route, which now is driven by Ron Anderegg. Anyone who is
interested in riding the bus should call
Anderegg at (785) 448-4410. He has a
regular route, which includes monthly
trips to Lawrence, Ottawa and Iola.
The city bus is driven by Paul Smith,
who drives a regular route through
the city 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, can be
reached at (785) 448-4723.
The buses make many stops and
carry an average of between seven to
12 people at a time. The city bus, for
example, made 500 stops last month.
There is no cost to ride the bus,
although the council asks for donations
to help offset expenses. The council

receives money from the county and

many people confuse the two,

5 ways treating hearing loss can revitalize your life
BPT) – Listen up, boomers: Do you want
to stay active? Vibrant? Socially engaged?
Professionally successful? Most of us do.
So maybe its time to do something about
your hearing.
Chances are, if youre like many baby
boomers, youve rocked your way through
your fair share of concerts, night clubs, and
ear-blasting parties. And youve enjoyed
years of other noisy recreational activities
to boot. Simply: Youve been enjoying life.
Youve spent decades doing it. And its been
loud.
So now, its not always so easy to hear
the conversation around the table at the
restaurant or dinner party – maybe not even
in the conference room at work or on those
teleconference calls.
Face it. All that enthusiastic living has
been hard on your ears. And now theyre
screaming for your attention.
You should give it to them.
In fact, addressing hearing loss is one of
the best things you can do to improve your
quality of life and keep up a youthful pace.
Fortunately, for most people with hearing loss, todays state-of-the art hearing aids
can help. In fact, eight out of 10 hearing aid
users say theyre satisfied with the changes
that have occurred in their lives due to
their hearing aids.
Many boomers are surprised to learn
that dramatic new technological advances
have revolutionized hearing aids in recent
years. Many hearing aids are virtually
invisible, sitting discreetly and comfortably inside the ear canal. And they adjust
to all kinds of noise environments, picking
up sound from all directions. Some are even
waterproof.
Perhaps best of all, seamless connectivity is now the norm. Todays hearing aids
are wireless and stream sound from your
smartphone, home entertainment system,
and other electronics directly into your
hearing aid(s) at volumes just right for you.
Heres what getting a hearing test and
using professionally fitted hearing aids, if
recommended by a hearing care professional, may do for you:
1. Unlock your earning potential.
Hearing your best at work helps you do
your best. One study found that using hearing aids reduced the risk of income loss by
90 to 100 percent for those with milder hearing loss, and from 65 to 77 percent for those
with severe to moderate hearing loss. And
people with hearing loss who use hearing
aids are more likely to be employed than
their peers who dont.
2. Open the door to greater intimacy.
Dont let those sweet nothings go unheard.
Feeling emotionally close to your partner
is one of the most satisfying aspects of any
intimate relationship. But it rests on good
communication. When hearing loss goes
unaddressed, it can make even the most
loving partner seem remote or unresponsive. Luckily, research shows that using
hearing aids can help improve interpersonal relationships – including greater intimacy.
3. Pull the plug on stress and boost your
mood. People with untreated hearing loss
often feel angry, frustrated, anxious, isolated, and depressed. But research shows that
when they use hearing aids, their mental
health often rallies. Many regain emotional
stability, become more socially engaged,
feel a greater sense of safety and independence, and see a general improvement in
their overall quality of life.
4. Bolster your self-confidence. An
important perk of using hearing aids can be
enhanced emotional well-being. Research
shows that when people with hearing loss
use hearing aids, many feel more in control of their lives and less self-critical. One
Better Hearing Institute (BHI) study found
that the majority of people with mild and
severe hearing loss felt better about themselves and life overall as a result of using
hearing aids.
5. Improve cognitive functioning. Studies
out of Johns Hopkins linked hearing loss
with accelerated cognitive decline in older

advanced coin
adults and found that seniors with hearing
loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time. BHI studies found
that many people with hearing loss report
improvements in their cognitive skills with
the use of hearing aids.
So go ahead. Revitalize your life. Do
something about your hearing. It just may
help you feel forever young.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, January 20, 2015
SENIOR PERSPECTIVES
Better late than never for retirement planning
(BPT) – If youre within 10 years of retirement and havent done any appreciable
planning, youre not alone.
Nearly half of Americans age 50 and
older expect to retire later than they
hoped, citing financial concerns, according to a 2013 study by the Associated
Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs
Research. And while you may be part of
that group, keep in mind, its better to
plan late than never.
A good benchmark on retirement readiness is the ability to replace at least 75
percent of your pre-retirement income at
the age you qualify for full Social Security
benefits, which is 66 or 67 for most people.
Retirement income can come from a variety of sources, including Social Security,
savings and a pension, if you have one.
While people age 50 or older no longer
have time on their side when it comes to
retirement savings, there are strategies
that can help you play catch up, says
Elaine Sarsynski, executive vice president, MassMutual Retirement Services
division. Pre-retirees have some levers
to pull that younger workers may not.
To help you make the most of your
retirement planning, follow the tips below.
First, take stock of where you are.
Meet with a financial professional who
can evaluate your retirement resources
and project how much income you can
expect if you retire at a certain age. Many
401(k) plans offer online tools to help you
determine where you stand and how likely you are to replace your income based
on your current assets and saving habits.
Make the most of matching contributions. Say your employer matches contributions to your 401(k) plan up to 5 percent
of your salary and you only contribute 2
percent, youre turning down free money.
Make sure you save enough to at least get
the full match.
Talk to your tax advisor about whether you should contribute to your 401(k)
on a before- or after-tax basis. Pre-tax
contributions may make it affordable to
save a higher percentage of your pay by
deferring some of your tax liability until

age. Even if you are nearing retirement age, some strategies can help you make the most out of retirement investing.
retirement. After-tax contributions may
reduce your tax liability in retirement.
Take advantage of catch-up contributions. If youre age 50 or older at the
end of the calendar year, you are eligible
to contribute up to an additional $6,000
to your retirement plan in 2015. Thats
on top of the $18,000 limit for younger
employees. Matching contributions from
your employer do not count toward your
contribution limit.
Optimize Social Security. You can
begin taking Social Security retirement
benefits as early as age 62. But should
you?
It depends on a lot of things – your
health, medical history, current cash
needs, and future financial obligations,
to name a few, says Farnoosh Torabi,
best-selling author and personal finance
coach. But one thing is certain: the
longer you delay your application, the
bigger your benefit will be. The maximum benefit from Social Security starts
at age 70. You can estimate your retirement benefit by using the Social Security
Administrations Retirement Estimator
at ssa.gov/estimator.
Dont forget your pension. If you are
entitled to a pension, this is an important
source of income that should factor into
your retirement planning. Your pension
pays you a benefit at retirement based on
factors such as your years of service and
salary. Your plan administrator will have
specific information about your plan.
When it comes to saving for retirement, dont let a late start dissuade you,
Sarsynski says. Becoming more financially disciplined and making the most of
your resources can go a long way toward
helping you retire on your own terms.

GES students enjoyed a childrens author visit by Jefferson
Knapp, on Friday, January 16.
His book series, At the End of
the Driveway, is popular with
GES students. They look forward to his new book, The
Traveling Carnival.
Jefferson Knapp lives in
the country outside Wichita,
Kansas. A graduate of Butler
Community College, Knapps
career path has changed from
stand-up comedian to childrens
book author.
The Brave Journey, his
first book in The Kingdom at
the End of the Driveway series,
has been a critical and commercial hit since debuting locally
last fall. Knapp is in his 30s and
still has a love for animals-except snakes!
About The Brave Journey:
After his beloved dog, Pugsly,
dies, 12-year-old Benjamin
Biggs stumbles upon a secret
underground kingdom of misfit
animals across the road from
his country home. Wearing his
dogs collar as a bracelet, he
finds he is able to talk to the
animals, learning that their
king, Pugsly, was assassinated
by the giant, mysterious python,
Farangis. With news of Farangis
soon returning to kill the rest of
them, Benjamin agrees to lead a
small band of quirky animals on
a long and dangerous journey
to save the kingdom. Through
discovering the secret life his
dog lived, Benjamin learns that
loyalty and friendship can ultimately involve sacrifice.

Strategy vs. tactics
in your business
When you talk about a sales
strategy in your business
sometimes it helps to look back
at history for a good mental
grasp of the difference between
strategy and tactics.
For instance strategy was to
win the war in Europe in WWII;
tactics was landing troops at
Normandy. Likewise, when
you define strategies in your
business you need to define the
specifics you hope will get you
there.
Maybe you want to be in the
top two top-of-mind awareness among your customers for
your service or product line;
thats a strategy. To get to that
point, you decide to push your
employees hard to come up
with customer testimonials and
positive online reviews so you
can use them in a full-out marketing campaign over a threeyear period. Thats a tactic.
Lets say your store has
recently become the exclusive
area representative for a particular yard fertilizer. Your strategy is to begin expanding your
companys product line. Your
goal is $50,000 in initial season orders so you can move to
the next tier of volume pricing
from the supplier. You plan to
accomplish this goal by booking expo space at six spring
fling promotions in the local
area, deploying ample in-store
marketing materials and by
making personal sales calls on
each landscaping company in
your region between now and
March 1.
You may have strategies
that are super general or more
detailed; they may speak generally to the company overall or
more specifically to individual
brands, products or services.
HOW TO SELL STUFF
Dane Hicks
Review Publisher
Regardless, tactics always pursue the strategy.
As you work up a strategy
for sales, write it all out on a
piece of paper so you can refer
back to it and keep these things
in mind:
Goals: Should be specific and measurable. Dollar
amounts, number of units sold,
profit target as a percentage of
revenue, etc.
Resources: Are your goals
in keeping with the resources
you have to pursue them? How
many units do you have to sell
to pay for not just your cost
of goods but also for the glitzy
direct mail program youre
planning to use to market
them? Look to your own sales
history or that of a comparable
competitor to help with these
decisions.
Thinking about the strategy and tactics of accomplishing
your sales goals is a great way
to take a new angle on your own
operation.

2005: Is a motel coming to Garnett?
Jan. 18, 2005
Two
motel
developers met with Garnett City
Commissioners Tuesday night
in a closed session to discuss
a potential motel development.
Though the majority of information was apparently brought
out in the closed session, city
officials did say later that the
developers were looking at
property along U.S. 169.
The USD 479 Board voted
unanimously to offer a real
estate contract for the sale of
the Crest East school buildings
to Mr. Aaron Poles of Oregon
for $115,000. The school buildings were offered for sale on
eBay, the online auction company, but the sale did not go to
the highest bidder. The school
board had stipulated that business plans be submitted along
with the monetary bids, and
the board considered in which
each prospective buyer would
enhance the community before
offering a real estate contact.
The business plan Powless submitted indicated he wanted to
establish a metal fabricating
plant that could hire as many
as 50 new employees.
Anderson County appraiser Gary Stapp told the county
commission last week it likely
would be five months before the
Kansas Board of Tax Appeals
rules on the tax exemption
claims of Missouri Gas Energy.

entities some $400,000 in funds
they planned to spend in 2005,
and could mean as much as an
$800,000 loss for the year.
Jan. 16, 1995
Outdoor people in most
areas of the state have a tough
time dealing with the lull in
the action that occurs from the
end of deer season until fishing
waters start to warm in March.
But here in Garnett, that lull is
filled with trout season. Trout
season starts Jan. 28 and runs
through March 27. Trout will
be stocked at Crystal Lake in
Garnett sometime in the next
few weeks.
A Health-Care Financing
Administration investigation
of Anderson County Hospital is
still in progress. Th hospital is
being investigated for allegedly
failing to care of a pregnant
woman in labor that came to
the hospital.
Three people died on
Anderson County roadways
in 1994. All three fatalities
occurred within a three week
period in late July and early
August.
The gist of an agreement
between the City of Garnett
and the Kansas Department of
Wildlife and Parks will basically hand over the section of the
Prairie Spirit Rail Trail which
runs through the city for city
control and improvement, in
keeping with developers plans.
Jan. 21, 1985
The Anderson County
Hospital Board of Trustees held
its regular meeting Thursday
night. A significant project discussed was the formation of a planning committee.
Supporting plans for the function of the planning committee
include surveys to determine
perspectives of various segments of the Anderson County
community, how the community sees the function of the hospital and what are the strengths
and weaknesses of the service
offered by the hospital.
The original estimate for the
Cedar Creek Dam was made
in July 1980. Over that period of time of the planning and
construction of the dam, there
were modifications of the projects cost and estimates as follows: July 1980 – $2,614,000 for
complete project; Sept. 1983
– $2,807,000 for complete project; Nov. 1983 – $3,150,000 for
complete project; Dec. 1984 $3,080,663.90 final estimates for
complete project.
Educators benefit from BCBS grants
Two area eductors will
receive money from the Healthy
Habits for Life Grants from the
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of
Kansas Foundation.
Nurses, teachers, principals and others at schools in
67 Kansas counties will use
$149,994.81 in Healthy Habits
for Life grants from the Blue
Cross and Blue Shield of
Kansas Foundation to foster positive habits aimed at
improving the health of thousands of children. The BCBSKS
Foundation recently distributed 163 grants to fund at-school
programs designed to help children reduce their cardiovascular risk, increase their physical
activity or learn healthy eating
habits.
The grant dollars will be
used during 2015 for a variety
of programs. Some schools will
use their grants to organize
walking programs, health fairs
and other activities, while others intend to purchase nutrition curriculum, heart monitors, exercise equipment or
healthy snacks. Completing its
ninth giving cycle, the BCBSKS
Foundation has now distributed 923 Healthy Habits for Life
grants in excess of $820,000.
We received a tremendous number of high quality
grant applications this year; it
is rewarding to see the commitment that school nurses,
teachers and administrators
have to helping young Kansans
improve their current health
and adopt habits for lifelong wellness, said Marlou
Wegener, chief operating officer of the BCBSKS Foundation.
The Foundation is proud to
support the commitment of our
school personnel by providing
them much-needed financial
assistance to reach children
where they spend the majority
of their day.
The amount of each grant
was based on the applicants
request for the program he or
she proposed, up to a maximum of $1,000. The school district or private school must
be located in the service area
of the BCBSKS Foundation
(all Kansas counties except
Johnson and Wyandotte).
They include:
Greeley Elementary School
kindergarten teacher Mary
Cubit, $423.55.
Central Heights Elementary
School principal Ann Collins,
$1,000.

Applicants must demonstrate that they have made payments on their heating bill two
out of the last three months.
Those payments must be equal
to or exceed $80 or the total balance due on their energy bills,
whichever is less.

Bulldogs wrestling team stays busy
The AC Bulldog wrestling team has been busy the
last week, wrestling in the
Burlington Invitational on
Saturday January 10th, a double dual at Burlington on the
15th, and at the 1st Annual
Randy Hinderliter Duals at
Central Heights on Friday the
16th. Many wrestlers have put
in the best performances of the
year in the last two weeks and
are wrestling very tough.
The Bulldogs finished in
11th place at the Burlington
Invitational with 68 team
points coming from only
8 wrestlers out of a possible
14. Junior Blade Marmon,
120lbs, finished in 5th place
wrestling very well all day in
a tough bracket. Sophomore
Caleb Belshe returned to the
mats after suffering a concussion early in the season to
finish 7th at 132lbs in another
tough bracket. Older brother

42-27 thumping of Wellsville.
The Bulldogs stepped out to
a solid lead with a 23-15 advantage at the half and contained
Wellsvilles shooters throughout the next two periods to hold
the lead. The Eagles struggled
offensively and tough defense
from AC virtually shut down
Wellsvilles outside shooting.

some formidable defense but

other side of the ball.

MORAN Crest topped Moran
last week in a defensive tug-owar that saw the Lancers take
advantage of first-half scoring
to pick up a 29-23 win.
That game was probably the
best defensive I have seen our
girls play yet this year, said
head coach Elaine Holloway.
She said Morans 8-point third
period run that ended 19-16
shook up the Lancers up but
set the stage for a final period
showdown that saw Crest bank
10 points and preserve the margin.
It was a ball game after that
(third) quarter, Holloway said.
I have to give respect to the
Moran coach and players. They
really stepped up when their
main player was in foul trouble.

his first fall of his varsity wrestling career that night, Ryan

Finally on Friday, January
16th, the Bulldogs finished
the week of wrestling at the
1st Annual Randy Hinderliter
Duals in honor of the longtime
wrestling coach, contributor,
mentor, and a true wrestling
ambassador. Randy was in
attendance, cheering on the
Central Heights wrestling team
and signing autographs on the
tournament shirts. Assistant
wrestling coach Mike Belshe
had this to say we wrestled
the best that we have all season tonight, that does not mean
that we didnt make mistakes.
But we wrestled with heart and
guts tonight, which is what this
sport is all about. The Dogs
wrestled the best they have all
year finishing in 2nd place as a
team, going 4-1 on the evening,
and coming home with a nice
plaque. The Bulldogs started
off the evening by overcoming a previous loss to Central
Heights winning 39-27 with
Marmon, Caleb Belshe, junior
152lber Matt Kirkland, sophomore 170lber Kyle Lamb, and
Thacker all winning. Southeast
Cherokee was the next victim
falling 48-24 to the AC team,
Marmon, Tyler Belshe, freshmen 145lber Zach Arvin, and
Thacker all recorded pins in
the dual. West Elk high school
was the next opponent falling to
the Dogs 36-22, Caleb and Tyler
Belshe as well as freshmen
145lber Dalton Duke all won
by fall. The Dogs next faced
Olathe North losing 24-51, but
winning many matches in the
dual at the same time. Once
again Marmon, Caleb Belshe,
Duke, and Thacker all recording falls in the dual. To end
the night the Dogs wrestled
against Uniontown winning
48-12 to clinch 2nd place at
the tournament. Head Coach,
Jason Brown stated I am very
proud of the determination the
wrestlers showed tonight, they
cheered and supported each
other, and I think became a
much closer team this week.
Many Bulldogs are wrestling
well right now heading into
the final two weeks of January
and gearing up for the run
at state next month. Senior
Heavyweight Landon Thacker
is currently 10-1 on the season with 8 falls, junior Blade
