Fire marshal
investigates
suspicious
grass fires
Moving Day
Several fires burned through
Anderson, other counties in
past few months, officials say
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA State fire investigators are looking into an unusual series of grass fires in
the area over the past few months.
Its too early in the investigation to say
what may be happening, Rose Rozmiarek,
Chief of Investigations for the Kansas State
Fire Marshal, said. Her office was contacted
late last week by Anderson County officials,
who asked for the states help in the case.
Over the past few months, firefighters
in Anderson and other area counties have
been called to several grass fires. Something
about their origins seemed suspicious.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 01-29-2013 / Vickie Moss
This house, owned by the First Christian Church of Garnett, was moved early Friday morning from its original location on West Third Avenue to
a new site about three miles northeast of Garnett on U.S. 169. The slow-moving process required the house to move through downtown Garnett,
bringing quite a few onlookers for the event.
Spring election brings few contested races
Westphalia, Kincaid have
contested city races,
USD 479 to have battle
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
Voters in most parts of Anderson
County will have simple decisions to
make this spring, as there are very
few contested political races up for
election April 2.
Unless someone launches a write-
in campaign, its likely most people
running for city and school board
seats will win them. There are a
few exceptions, though. In USD 479,
two men are running for one seat.
In Kincaid, seven people are vying
for five city council seats. And in
Westphalia, two men will face off for
the position of mayor, and six people
will contest each other over five city
council seats.
Contested Races
Of the contested races, USD 479
incumbent Frank Stewart is being
challenged by Travis Church for
Position 4 on the Crest School
Board.
Two incumbents, Jeff
Strickler and Bryan Miller, are running unopposed to keep their seats.
A vacant at-large position likely will
be filled by Steve Prasko, who is the
only person to file for that seat.
In Kincaid, seven people are vying
for five positions on the city council. The top 5 people receiving votes
will win the seats. The contestants
include: Carolyn Whitcomb, Marjorie
Stephens, Judith Lenon, Brandon
Gates, Darlene Stewart, William Starr
Sr. and Tammie Neudeck. Voters
also will select a mayor; Leonard
Leadstrom is the only person seeking
that post.
Westphalias city council also
brought a lot of interest this year.
Two people, Merlin Carpenter and
Samuel VanPatton, are running for
mayor. The city councils five seats
will be sought by six people: Dorothy
Cameron, James Nolan, Robert

Smokeoff competition, upgrades
to equipment are some ways
firefighters address needs
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Where theres smoke, there are
firefighters. At least, thats how Garnett firefighters hope the saying goes as they prepare
to host a statewide barbecue competition for
fire departments later this spring.
The Garnett Fire Department is expected
to play host to a barbecue competition in
downtown Garnett April 5 and 6. Firefighter
Josh DeHoux is taking the lead on organizing the contest, and said a barbecue smokeoff is the perfect contest for firefighters.
The contest is open to fire departments
across the state and will be judged by local
law enforcement officers. Because it is not
a sanctioned state barbecue contest, the
public will be able to attend and sample food
products from the competitors. Proceeds

Chamber Players member defends
requests for guest tax money
Debate over transient
guest tax increase
continues at meeting
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Rethink the problem, and find a new solution.
Thats the advice tourism committee member and
Chamber Players theater enthusiast Tom Emerson, Jr. had for
city commissioners in the ongoing debate over a tax paid by
people who use Garnett hotels,
motels and bed-and-breakfast
facilities, which is then spent on
tourism marketing.
At last weeks city commission meeting, Emerson continued the debate over transient
guest taxes. At a Jan. 8 meet-
ing, commissioners decided to
raise the transient guest tax to
4 percent amid a lengthy debate
over the tax and over issues
with the tourism committee
that oversees money collected
by the tax. Proceeds from the
transient guest tax are used to
help organizations advertise
special events like Cornstock
and Chamber Players presentations. But at the Jan. 8 meeting, Mayor Greg Gwin asked to
table a $2,269 request from the
Chamber Players until questions surrounding the transient
guest tax were resolved.
At the earlier meeting,
Gwin said he had a problem
with organizations asking for
more money every year, and
he objected to increasing the
tax to keep up with requests.
He said the transient guest tax
(commonly referred to as TGT)
money was never intended to be
life support for the organizations, a statement that upset
Emerson, a member of the
Chamber Players board.
My organization supported
itself for 25 years before we
knew about TGT, Emerson
said. Its not life support for
any of these organizations. The
doors are open without TGT.
The purpose of TGT is to tell
people the doors are open.
Gwin
responded
that
requests for the money keep
increasing, and at some point
commissioners would have to
set new regulations to make
sure they could afford to supTHE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 01-29-2013 / Photo Submitted

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, January 29, 2013
RICHARDS
January 18, 1923-January 22, 2013
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
Published January 29, 2013
Dean Dudley Tutt Richards,
Jr., 90, of Baldwin City, KS died
peacefully on
Jan. 22, 2013
at the Baldwin
Healthcare and
Rehabilitation
Center in the
arms of family.
Dean was
born at Paola,
KS on Jan.
Richards
18, 1923, to
Dean Dudley
Richards, Sr. and Verda Jane
(Polkinghorn) Richards. When
Dean was nine months old, he and
his older brother, Frank Dudley
Dud Richards, moved with their
parents to Garnett.
While recuperating from rheumatic fever when he was in elementary school, Dean focused on the
interest he had developed in printing, publishing first a little neighborhood paper and in junior high,
a dittograph weekly. He became
a committed journalist at Garnett
High School, where he was editor
of the semi-weekly student newspaper, secretary of the Kansas InterScholastic Press Association and,
in his senior year, one of only ten
recipients of the annual National
Quill & Scroll Journalism Award.
Dean also worked throughout high
school at The Garnett Review,
where he was trained in reporting,
photography, advertising and printing.
After graduation, Dean attended
Baker University briefly before
being inducted into the Enlisted
Reserve Corps (ERC), United States
Army. During his service, Dean
qualified for the Army Specialized
Training Program (ASTP), which
enabled him to take courses in
mathematics at the University of
Alabama when he was stationed
at Fort McClellan, and electrical
engineering at Manhattan College,
New York City. Complications from
rheumatic fever led to his being
honorably discharged as a disabled
veteran in 1943.
Dean returned to Baker
University, where he was photographer and editor of The Baker
Orange and a member of the
Gamma Theta Chapter of Delta
Tau Delta. In 1945, he transferred
to the University of Missouri Columbia to study advertising and
public relations in the School of
Journalism. At MU, he also helped
build the Gamma Kappa Chapter of
Delta Tau Delta. Dean ultimately
graduated from Baker with a B.S.
in sociology and from MU with a
B.S. in journalism.
A professional journalist for
almost 45 years, Dean worked
first at The Kansas City Star as a
linotype operator and machinist.
From 1950 to 1956, he was Printing
Production Manager for Corn Belt
Publications, first in Kansas City,
MO and then Omaha.
Dean married Catherine Jane
Scott on March 25, 1950 at the United
Methodist Church in Garnett. They
lived with their growing family in
Baldwin City, in Kansas City, MO,
Prairie Village, KS and Omaha
before returning to Baldwin in 1956
to co-own and operate The Baldwin
Ledger and The Wellsville Globe,
with Dean serving as publisher and
general manager of both newspapers and Jane, managing editor of
The Ledger. In 1966 Dean and Jane
founded The Eudora Enterprise.
Dean also ran a commercial printing business in Baldwin.
As members of the Baldwin
community, Dean and Jane helped
to establish and promote The Maple
Leaf Festival, a new public library,
the town swimming pool and
Bakers Rice Auditorium, among
other projects. For many years,
they also helped deliver Christmas
presents to children in Douglas
County who otherwise would have
had no gifts.
After selling the trio of newspapers and printing shop in 1973, Dean
was hired as Regional Public Affairs
Officer for Region VII (Kansas,
Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska) of
the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD). His
numerous responsibilities included
media coverage, speech writing and
Congressional contacts, as well as
disaster assistance through HUDs
Disaster Housing Office.
Dean received a number of
commendations during his years
at HUD, including recognition for
assisting persons displaced during
the Great New England Blizzard of
1978. At the time of his retirement
from HUD in 1993, Dean was his
Departments Senior Public Affairs
Officer in the Field.
Dean was a member of Alpha
Delta Sigma, Bakers senior scholastic honorary; Delta Tau Delta;
the Lloyd Beaton Post No. 228 of the
American Legion, and the Baldwin
City Rotary Club, among others.
Deans civic recognitions include
being named a Distinguished
Jayhawker for his contributions
to the progress of the State of
Kansas. He was also the proud
father of four and the grandfather
of two Eagle Scouts.
Dean enjoyed fishing and boating, photography, reading, electronics, ragtime, Dixieland and
Big Band music, puns, crossword
puzzles, chocolate-covered cherries, playing pool, staying informed
and caring for the many dogs and
cats that he and his wife welcomed
into their home. He was also the
biggest fan of his wifes career as
a journalist, appreciating her creativity and entering her work in
many publication contests. Despite
a well-deserved reputation as a
strict disciplinarian, no father was
prouder of his children or more
concerned for the safety and success of his brood than Dean was.
Dean is survived by his and
Janes six children and their spouses, Dr. Dean Dudley Richards III
and Nancy, Leawood, KS; Nancy
Jane Richards, Oakham, MA;
Susan Linn Richards Johnson and
Karl Johnson, Kansas City, MO;

It is that

PUBLISHER
agents and staff;
the unimaginable number of man hours
and the frustration of pursuing leads for
months and even years only to discover
the dead end to which they led which is
brought home to the movie goer with the
painstaking and deciphering conviction
of an archeological dig.
It is something most of us never comprehended as it was underway. In those
post-9/11 years as we busied ourselves
with colored terror threat warnings
and anthrax scares and shoe bombers
and Abu Graib and Gitmo and protests
over the invasion of Iraq, thousands of
nameless, faceless operatives from the
Central Intelligence Agency and National
Security Agency and government organizations with names and acronyms weve
never heard of continued the methodical
hour-to-hour combing of the sands in
some of the most foreboding civilizations
on earth to find Osama bin Laden and
other drivers of the international terrorist threat. The movie notes dates as the
agents keep up their plodding struggle
and begs the viewer to remember: As
most of us returned to near normalcy
these silent soldiers were on the job, looking for the tiniest shred of information
from wherever it might appear, seeking
ways to independently confirm support
for any would-be fact, nurturing and following it sometimes through the perils
of foreign lands and even threats by
American bureaucracy and politics.
It is Zero Dark Thirty, afterall, which
became a 2012 election pawn by conservatives who said the film about bin Ladens
killing was designed with an October
2012 release date in order to pump up
President Barack Obamas re-election
chances. Instead, the movie serves more
to vindicate the intelligence gathering
efforts undertaken during the George W.
Bush administration including torture
and enhanced interrogation methods
as well as the billions spent in the search
as tantamount to eventually finding bin
Laden. The shred the analysts followed,
tellingly, came through methods of water
boarding of one detainee in 2004, corroborated by other detainee interrogations, as
the belief in a message courier trusted by
bin Laden was bolstered into a plausible
theory.
As to the torture debate it is clear
this piece of information came about
as a result of water boarding and other
rough treatment of a terrorist supporter
with ties to 9/11. What is not clear, and
what opponents continue to contend, is
that torture also provided bad leads and
misinformation. Perhaps thats true, but
so did many other non-interrogation
methods. The fact that torture in this
case yielded the key information may not
vindicate the practice entirely but it does
guarantee a vibrant future for the argument.
Zero Dark Thirtys importance is as
viable to our enemies as it is to our fellow
Americans in that it reiterates the story
of our heavy promise after 9/11 that
when America swore to do whatever it
took to find vengeance against the mastermind and others who plotted the murder of 3,000 Americans in the twin towers,
it was no idle threat.
Whoever you are that called the Phone
Forum about the dance team showing
skin, you dont get it. Heres how it is
see: the dance team wears costumes that
are against the school dress code, and
the school gives them time and has them
come out and dance in front of the pep
assembly and the ball games and basically says its okay for them to break the
rules and sets them up to do just that. Its
against the rules for the rest of us but its
okay since its the dance team. Hows that

President Obamas re-founding
BY RICH LOWRY
NATIONAL REVIEW
For the left, this is what winning looks like.
President Barack Obama gave a second inaugural address that just as easily could have
been delivered by progressive darling Elizabeth
Warren.
If the president didnt repeat the phrase
that Republicans threw back
at him so often during the
2012 campaign — you didnt
build that — the speech was
a meditation on the same
theme of the limits of individual action. The address
was a paean to collectivism,
swaddled in the rhetoric of
individual liberty and of
Lowry
fidelity to the founding.
He began and ended
with the Founding Fathers and threaded the
Declaration of Independence throughout. This
gave the speech a conservative sheen. He used
the words timeless, ancient, lasting
and enduring. He sounded like Republican
Sen. Marco Rubio in invoking what makes
us exceptional, namely our allegiance to an
idea, articulated in a declaration made more
than two centuries ago.
But this framing of the speech only served
to amplify the ambition of President Obamas
larger political project. He hopes to reorient
the American mainstream and locate conservatives outside it. He wants to take the founders
from the right and baptize the unreconstructed
entitlement state and the progressive agenda in
the American creed.
In Obamas telling, the high points of our
national life are found in collective action, in
the growth of government, in teachers trained
and roads built. Now, more than ever, he
declared, we must do these things together, as
Im going to share another one of
Garnetts wonderful secrets. If you have
watched the moon the last few nights
you know how spectacular the moonrise
has been as the moon comes up on the
horizon. One of the best places in town to
watch the moon is from the intersection
of Walnut and Fourth Streets. Its good
any time but you can really see now that
the leaves are off the trees. Just dont get
run over by a car.
one nation and one people.
He presented his agenda as the logical consequence of the Declaration of Independences
enunciation of the equality of all men and our
right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. For Obama, that means equal-pay legislation, gay marriage and amnesty for illegal
immigrants. He included a long passage on
the necessity of fighting climate change with
transformative energy policies. Thats what
will lend meaning, he said, to the creed our
fathers once declared. (One wonders what
Thomas Jefferson would have made of the argument that his handiwork is meaningless absent
federal subsidies for the likes of Solyndra.)
According to President Obama, entitlements
like Medicare and Social Security dont merely
represent a necessary safety net for the vulnerable. They free us to take the risks that make
this country great, he maintained, in a highly
imaginative interpretation of these programs.
All of his bows to modesty were formalistic. He
mentioned outworn programs, without even
promising to eliminate any. He said we have
always had a suspicion of central authority, but
of course he didnt endorse it. He said we dont
have to settle the debate over the size of government once and for all, while insisting that we
keep expanding it on his own terms.
All in all, it was a brazen performance, as
audacious in intent as it was banal in its expression. He used the founders authority to advance
an expansive conception of American government that would have been unrecognizable to
them. Amid the pomp and the circumstances,
Republicans should have heard a direct challenge. The president did them, and everyone
else, the favor of enunciating the battle lines
and the stakes of the fights to come.
Is anyone going to have a Valentines Day
dance this year?
Back in the olden days when children
couldnt sit still in school or they talked
out, teachers were creative. Now all they
say is your child needs to be put on
medicine. What do they want- the whole
school put on medicine? There are so
many children already. My son does have
ADHD. My son is a B student, but yet they
want to put him on medicine. Why cant
these teachers just teach these kids? Kids
all along have had ADHD and they didnt
have medication for them. They just need
to teach them.
I just wanted to say to all the Crest students and athletes I think we have a great
bunch of kids at our school. Were proud
of you all.
Hey yall whats it they say about only
being 7 handshakes away from the Pope?

Ezekiels message of judgment
Ezekiel was a prophet of God
to the captives who dwelt by the
River Chebar at Tel Abib. He
prophesied for at least twenty
years from 593 B.C. until 573
B.C. Ezekiel witnessed much
of the decline of the Assyrian
Empire and the rise of the
Babylonian Empire under King
Nebuchadnezzar. Ezekiel proclaimed Gods message for his
Covenant people as well as the
nations surrounding the land
of Israel. The message was one
of judgment on Israel because
of its idolatry.
In chapter 3 Ezekiel describes
a vision he received from God.
The Spirit lifted me up and
took me away, and I went in bitterness in the heart of my spir-

it, the hand of the LORD being
strong upon me. And I came
to the exiles at Tel Abib, who
were dwelling by the Chebar
canal and I sat where they were
dwelling. And I sat there overwhelmed for seven days. At
the end of these seven days God
appointed Ezekiel as the watchman for the house of Israel.
The watchman in biblical times
was stationed on the wall of
the city and was responsible
for the people inside the city
warning them of any impending danger. Failure to issue
the warning would make him
accountable for any misfortune
that resulted.
Ezekiel is given a stern warning by God to deliver a message
of judgment on the nation of
Judah. Ezekiel was then told.
Thus says the LORD GOD. And
whether they hear or refuse
to hear (for they are a rebellious house) they will know a
prophet has been among them.
The parallel God draws
here is the people would not
ignore the cry of the ordinary
watchman yet they would not
heed Ezekiels warning. This
Meliza 50th anniversary
had to be a difficult message
for Ezekiel to deliver knowing that the message would be
ignored. As is always the case
when Gods people disobeyed
there were consequences.
Nebuchadnezzar destroyed
Gods beloved Jerusalem in
587-586 B.C. and took most of
the remaining inhabitants into
exile.
God is holy. Sin is contrary
to his holiness and must be
judged. Israel was a rebellious nation and the Exile was
designed to produce a nation
ready to live in obedience before
God.

AC frosh pull 50-32 win
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – The AC freshman
game against Wellsville Friday
was a game in two halves that
eventually yielded a 50-32 win
for AC and a season record for
the freshman of 6-1.
The first quarter saw the
Bulldogs run out to a 9 to 2
lead, but the wheels came off
and Wellsville scored 16 unanswered points in the second
period. At the half, the boys
were down 27 to 11 and it looked
as if the dogs were well on their
way to their second lost.
However in the second half
the Bulldogs came out with
an attitude and put the hurt
on the Eagles. With a stifling
defense and a balanced offen-
sive attack, the boys were able
to climb back into the game
and tie it at 32 -32 by the end of
the 3rd quarter. From there the
bulldogs never looked backed,
holding the Eagles scoreless in
the 4th quarter and going on to
win 50 to 32.
Jake Rundle hit 19 points
to lead AC. Chase Ratliff and
Mitchell Highberger both had 9,
Derrick Nelson 6, Trey Ahring
3 and Mason Skiles and Zeke
Hermreck both had 2.
Hoping to continue on their
success, the bulldogs will travel
to Prairie View on Jan. 29 and
to Iola on Feb. 1. The week will
be followed up by their first
tournament at Central Heights
on Saturday, February 2.
Vikes edge West Franklin 40-36
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
POMONA – Central Heights
had one primary mission last
week in what turned out to
be a 40-36 win against West
Frankliln – put scoring threat
Brady Geist in a box and keep
him there.
Brady is one of the better players in our area, said
Central Heights head coach
Rusty Cannady. Tristan Davis
name wont show up in the stat
sheet very much but defensively he did as good a job on Brady
as I have seen in a long time.
Tristan held him scoreless in
the first half and he finished
the night with 7.
The contest was mostly a
defensive test with not a lot
of offense. The Vikings battled
foul trouble and Tyler Hendron
and Zach McAfee stepped in to
provide the muscle in the minutes the Vikes needed.
As a team we were alert
and more aggressive than in
our last few games, Cannady
said. We communicated as a
team and looked out for one
another.
The Vikes were up by 3 30-17
at the half and only managed
a 6 point margin by the end of
the third period at 32-26. The
Vikes held up the pressure and
kept a thin surplus to take the
win.
Jordan Horstick had 14 on
the night, Trever Burkdoll 7,
Hendron 6, Drew Beckwith and
McAfee 4 each, Davis 3 and
Tanner Erhart 2.

tie at the end of the third quarter.

most of the game and hit a lot
of key free throws down the
stretch, said head coach Ben
Vaughn. Brianna Erhart continues to improve and shoot the
ball well- it was a well-played
game by both teams.
Erhart led the Vikes with
19 points. Kenzie Hayward had
10, Sydney Meyer and Regan
Markley both had 4, Sam
Stegner 3 and Whitney Kraus
2.

Anderson County High School Bulldogs show off their third place medals from the Baldwin Tournament recently.
Bulldogs drop Metro Academy 72-43
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Anderson County
shellacked Metro Academy last
week 72-43 in a game that saw
the Bulldog bench get some live
game time and boosted Eric
Tastove to a new high game
score.
AC was only up by 10 points
at the half, but blistered Metro
with a 23-11 third period which
put the game out of reach. ACs
defense continued to hold tight
and held Metro to the low double-digits scoring in each quarter.
Tastove hammered in 30
points for the night, most coming from a barrage of two-pointers in the second and third periods.
Spencer Walter followed up
with 15 points on the night.
Crest drops NE Arma 60-20
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
ARMA – Tonight would have
been a tough night to play
us, Crest head coach Travis
Hermreck said of his Lancer
squad after their 60-20 throttling of NE Arma.
The Lancers had a little
extra about them. I think they
wanted to make amends for
Saturday.
A chip on their shoulder?
Maybe. Crests third period
meltdown in the championship
of the Pleasanton Tournament
after a first half punching
match with Humboldt couldnt
have set well with any team.
But Humboldt adjusted and
picked the Lancers apart in
that second half, and that was
that. Turn the page to Tuesday.
Our defense was as good as
it has been this year, Hermreck
said. We need to stay focused
and keep it there.
The contest was never close.
Crest controlled the game
from the start and only gave
NE Arma a chance to breath
after the fourth period started.
Kyle Hammond snapped up 7
3-pointers to notch 29 points
on the night. Jordan Morton
hit 11, Jesse Boone 8, Hunter
Frazell had 6, Brock Ellis 4 and
Austin Green had 2.
Tanner Lickteig had 7, Ian
Comfort 6, Zach Hilliard 5, Jack
Rickabaugh 4, Tyler Woodard 3
and Steve Dial 2.
Metros Geriger led his team
for the night with 12 points.

respectfulness for the flag of the United States of America. Students and staff listened attentively and enjoyed asking questions afterward.

will hold a book discussion on
Wednesday, February 27th at 2
p.m. Katie Up and Down the
Hall by Glenn Plaskin was
the title chosen. The discussion will be led by Paulabeth
Henderson. Please take note of
the time change. For the month
of February we will have the

For families and animal lovers
everywhere, Katie Up and Down
the Hall is the transcendent
tale of how three generations of
strangers and an astutely intelligent dog create their own little
family in a waterside community along the Hudson river.
It all begins with a random
meeting between a younger man
and his octogenarian neighbor,
Pearl, their attachment cemented by a blond-haired puppy. It
isnt long before writer Glenn
Plaskin, Pearl, and her husband,
Arthur, form a profound bond
that blesses all in its sphere.
This includes a three-year old
boy named Ryan and his single
dad, John, who also happen to
be living down the same hallway
in a downtown Manhattan highrise, just opposite the World
Trade Center.
Books are available for
checkout at the library. The
discussions are typically held
the fourth Wednesday of each
month at 7 p.m. in the Archer
Room at the library; however,
February we are trying the 2

Cooking was work in the good ol days
Do any of you remember
when your parents or grandparents had many pieces of
equipment, furnishings, and
decorations that have disappeared with the years? They
had, for example, framed
mottos hanging on the walls
that said, God Bless Our
Home, In God We Trust,
Peace Be With You, Home
Sweet Home and Love One
Another. One motto read, In
Prosperity, Friends Will Be
Plenty. In Adversity, Not One
in Twenty.

feathers, some rag carpets,

stool, a spinning wheel, a large
family Bible, several kerosene
lamps, some candlesticks, and
perhaps a pump organ or harpsichord.
In the kitchen, in addition
to the wooden icebox, the dry
sink, the chair table, and the
iron range, you usually could
find a nutmeg grater, metal
canisters holding tea and coffee, a coffee grinder, a teapot
with a knitted cozy surrounding it, a cheese press, a dough
raising box, a wood box and a
coal scuttle. In the real early
days, there would be several
tankards, made of wood or
pewter for drinking beer, ale
and other beverages, and sometimes extensively decorated; a
rummer for quaffing rum, a
pewter charger or platter, a
wooden trencher on which to
carve and serve the meat, and
a wooden breadbox for slicing
bread at the dining table. Often
food and herbs were hung up to
dry on long rails.
The fully equipped kitchen
also had a slate with slate pencil and eraser so that menus
could be written for the cook
on one side and items needed
from the store on the other.
Until our modern kitchen
conveniences and our great
array of canned and frozen
foods came along, the home
kitchen was a veritable factory
– by this I mean, the scene of
much cutting, slicing, mixing,
blending, kneading, grinding
and so on – as the housewife
performed many of the functions assumed by the food
manufacturer today. And she
had a great array of implements with which to carry out
her culinary tasks. Getting
meals was real work in those
days, since every recipe had to
be made up from ingredients
in their natural state. Does this
bring back any memories!

The old plan of school teachers was to stick to the book.
If the pupil could memorize
rules of arithmetic, grammar,
etc. and rattle them off at the
recitation hour, that was all that
was expected of him. If he could
keep the rules in his head and
repeat them at the end of the
term of school, he was educated. But its different now.
If the pupil understands the
rules so as to apply them in a
practical way, given though he
cant repeat them verbatim, he
has an education that will carry
him through life pretty comfortably. The present day teacher
strives to give his knowledge
into practice and takes them
to industrial institutions, when
possible, so that they may learn
the real application of many
things they have learned or of
gaining knowledge of things not
even mentioned in the books.

from the event will help firefighters purchase equipment.
The contest is the latest
in a series of ongoing efforts
to revamp the Garnett Fire
Department, public safety director Pat Tate, who oversees the
department, said. He and other
fire department leaders met
with city commissioners last
week to discuss the department
and possible funding requests.
The department has 25 firefighters on the roster now, with
many of them joining the department in the past six months. In
2012, firefighters responded to
37 calls and attended 22 meetings. Thats about the same as
in 2011, when there were 37 calls
and 25 meetings. In 2010, there
were 46 calls and 25 meetings;
in 2009, there were 41 calls and
20 meetings. Its important for
firefighters to attend meetings
to learn about training and procedures, Tate said.
Fire Captain Dave Faries was
one of four officers who gave a
short presentation to city commissioners, but his presentation
also came with one of the biggest
price tags. Faries is in charge
of equipment, and said he has
spent the past year working to
upgrade fire protection gear
and equipment. Much of the
fire departments bunker gear
was purchased with a grant 10
years ago, but has now outlived
its 10-year lifespan. Replacing
30 sets of gear just coats and
pants – would cost about $57,000.
Instead, Faries is working with

Uncontested races
For most of the races, only
one person filed for an open
position. That includes a city
commission seat in Garnett,
where incumbent Mayor Greg
Gwin was the only person to
file for the seat and will run
unopposed. All city commission
seats are at-large positions, and
Gwin has held the seat since
2007. When another city commission seat was vacated just
a couple of months ago, seven
people applied for the appointment, but none of those applicants nor anyone else challenged Gwin for the seat.
In USD 365, two of three
Tate and city officials to replace
five or six sets of gear each year.
Hes also working to upgrade
bottles and air packs that are
nearly obsolete. Again, Faries
worked with officials to implement a replacement program
to purchase five bottles each
year for four years for a total of
20 bottles. Upgrading air packs
cost about $1,400 per pack, and
the fire department needs to
spend about $16,800 to upgrade
the remaining packs, but the
cost will be spread out over the
next few years, Faries said.
Fire Captain J.D. Mersman
also discussed the big ticket
items trucks and apparatus.
Although most of the citys fleet
of fire trucks have been purchased since 2006, the trucks
are older and some are nearing the end of their lifespan.
Mersman said he is working on
developing a replacement program, but he feels confident the
citys trucks and apparatus are
sufficient.
If we have a fire right
now, we have fire protection,
Mersman said. I put my life
on the line every time I roll out
on these apparatus. Im comfortable with them. I just think
down the line, its something we
need to look at.
Mersman said his biggest
concern is updating pagers and
radios used to communicate
with firefighters. Some of the
pagers are too old to function
properly, and some firefighters
do not receive calls when the
pagers fail.
