THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Many improvements to city services in 2016
were not easily visible to city
residents, but should leave the
city well-positioned for years
to come, City Manager Joyce
Martin said in what could be
seen not only as a year-end
wrap-up but also as a synopsis
to her upcoming retirement.
Martin, who is expected
to retire early this year, last
week gave city commissioners
a quick recap of work done in
2016. She had said previously
she wanted to finish several
projects or at least position
them for the future before she
leaves.
Martin said significant progress was made this past year
on a 10-year, $1.6 million sewer
improvement project. The city
began work on the project in
2015 by purchasing a camera
system that allowed city staff
to investigate problem areas in
the sewer system on their own,
rather than hiring a company
to examine the lines and schedule work.
In 2016, the first major sewer
repairs targeted U.S. 59/Maple
Street through Garnett and
some streets near the highway
to the east. Areas where the
old, clay underground pipes
had collapsed were dug up and
facilities, one in Coffeyville
and one in Parsons. Pyramid,
which started in 1967, operates
stores in the Midwest under
the franchise names
PriceCutter, Save-a-Lot,
Rameys, Cash Saver and
King Cash Saver, among
others.
In a press release,
Pyramid CEO Erick
Taylor said local store
employees would join the
employee-owned company with
the benefits that come from
direct affiliation with a broad-
er network of stores. The local
store has 69 employees.
Shoppers will continue to
engage with the same friendly and helpful Country Mart
associates, many of whom they
have likely known for years,
and they will enjoy more
diverse products and services,
said Taylor. Shoppers can
expect products under the Best
Choice and Always Save labels
to remain. Over the years, these
brands have become household
favorites, providing quality
products at value pricing, he
said.
Bobs Supersavers built the
local County Mart and AuBurn
Pharmacy complex at Maple
and Park Road in Garnett and
opened the store in May 1999.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – The threat of a
new fiber internet company
making inroads in Garnett
may have led an existing company to push for local business
– and it worked.
City leaders have been
working with KS Fiber Net,
a Wichita based company, to
bring high-speed internet service to Garnett. KS Fiber Net
would be a wholesale internet service provider, working
directly with schools, businesses and governments rather than individual residents.
The companys business model
could allow other companies
to work with KS Fiber Net to

Mackayla Martin of Garnett stops during a walk along the Prairie Spirit Rail Trail Sunday afternoon, Jan. 1, with Stella, left, and Jax. Martin
was dog-sitting Stella for a friend of her daughters, and the Martin family rescued Jax from a shelter a few months ago. Martin was on
the trail in remembrance of Peggy Tholen, a teacher, mentor and friend. She said Tholen and other women organized a womens running
group many years ago. After Martin learned that Tholen died Saturday, she decided to hit the trail in her honor.

Insurance company

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – City employees
who are injured on the job
will be able to return to work
more quickly, as part of a new
program that will modify job
descriptions as needed.
The citys insurance provider, Employers Mutual
Insurance Company is requiring the City to adopt a Return
to Work Program which covers injured employees. Human
Resource Director Jenny
Myers told commissioners the
program essentially will find
odd jobs or light-duty work
in other departments whenever an employee is cleared from
some restrictions by a physician.
For example, Myers said, an
employee who is not allowed
to lift heavy objects could
instead ride a lawn mower,
paint playground equipment or
dissemble electric meters that
have been taken out of service.
Those jobs typically might fall
under another departments
jurisdiction.
While the program will help
the city by reducing the dollars
spent on workers compensation claims, it also can help
employees ease into the transition of returning to work after
an injury and bring peace of
mind, Myers said.
When an employee is sitting at home, often theyre wondering, Are they going to find
someone else to do my job? and
Am I going to have a job to go
back to? Myers said.
Myers said the city has been
fortunate because it has few
lost time injuries, but I
think its a good program to
have in place.
Commissioners were concerned who would determine
what jobs were appropriate for
an injured employee. Myers
said the city would send the
employees doctor a job description and a modified job description, and the physician would
approve or deny based on the
employees abilities.
City
Attorney
Terry
Solander said he approved of
the plan. I think these programs tend to be a win-win.
Commissioners unanimously approved the program, but
said they wanted to review it
after six months rather than
annually and wanted to know
it could be modified as needed.

REMEMBRANCES
RECAP…
SEPTEMBER 10, 1950-DECEMBER 31, 2016
Peggy (Yohon) Tholen,
66, of Garnett, Kansas, died
December 31, at home with her
family after a long battle with
multiple system atrophy.
She was born September 10,
1950 to the late Robert Yohon
and Helen (Link) Yohon in Iola,
Kansas.
Peggy graduated from Iola
High School
in 1968 and
received
a
Bachelors
of Science in
mathematics
education and
a minor in
German education from
Tholen
Kansas State
Teachers
College
(Emporia
State
University) in 1972.
She married Richard Tholen
in 1972 and they lived together
in Garnett, Kansas. She was
a loving wife and cofounded Plumbing and Heating
Unlimited with Richard. She
spent a great deal of time helping run the business, answering phone calls and sending out
statements.
Peggy taught math at
Garnett High School/Anderson
County High School for 31
years and inspired students to
learn math by setting algebraic
formulas to music. She always
made time to tutor anyone who
asked her for help. She loved
trivia and coached the scholars
bowl team. Peggy was nominated Kansas Teacher of the Year
in 2003 and she was honored to
be selected by multiple valedictorians as their favorite teacher and to attend the Governors
Valedictorian Luncheon with
them.
Peggy took parenting classes
prior to the birth of her first
daughter. Parenting education
became so important to her
that she became an instructor
and taught parenting classes
locally with her friend Phyllis
Cobbs. Peggy was very involved
at Holy Angels Catholic Church
where she led music during
mass, singing and playing
the guitar, sang in the choir,
served on the liturgy committee, lectored, and organized
vacation bible school for several years. She loved to travel and
Peggy and Richard were able to
travel extensively with friends
following her retirement from
teaching. Peggy was also part
of the Chamber Players community theater, and thoroughly enjoyed performing in several plays.
Peggy is survived by her
husband Richard; daughters: Kyle DeGruy of Atlanta,
Georgia, and Kara Wry of
Downers Grove, Illinois; sonsin-law Glen DeGruy and Derek
Wry; grandchildren: Glen
DeGruy (6), Blake DeGruy (2),
and Eleanor Wry (4); siblings:
Roberta Sinclair, Patty Haen,
and Don Yohon; and in-laws:
Paul Sinclair, Stephen Haen,
and Teresa Yohon.
Mass of Christian Burial
will be held at 10:30 AM,
Saturday, January 7, 2017 at the
Holy Angels Catholic Church,

School or Holy Angels Catholic
Church. Condolences may be

fixed. Most of the problems,
though, were repaired by using
a special, more modern technique that covered the interior
of existing pipes with a special resin coating. The repair
is expected to last for decades.
U.S. 59 was targeted first
because it serves many businesses, and it can be costly to
dig into the highway for more
extensive repairs. Other problem areas of the city will be
targeted in future years, with
major repairs planned every
other year.
The city also completed
extensive work to the UV system at the wastewater treatment plant, and continues to
look into options to improve
or rebuild its water treatment
plant.
An electric line project started in 2015 is essentially complete, but the city is waiting on
the telephone company to move
their lines to new poles so the
city can get rid of its old poles.

pany bought out Pence IGA,
the longtime local grocer located across the street. Since that
time, CEO Craig Dickey, who
recently celebrated his 47th
year in the grocery business,
said small town grocery stores
have hustled to keep up with a
changing local grocery market.
Probably the biggest
some point in the future.
KS Fiber Net signed a franchise agreement with the city
earlier last year, and city leaders reached out to local businesses that might want to take
advantage of the service.
But recently, local telephone
and internet service provider
CenturyLink contacted those
businesses with proposals
of their own. Garnett City
Manager Joyce Martin said the
proposals were very competitive, and at least one business
reached an agreement with
CenturyLink. Martin said the
proposal was much more favorable for the local businesses.
Martin said the city
had attempted to reach
CenturyLink a few years ago to
see what options the company
had for its wholesale needs, but
ran into multiple roadblocks.
A representative recently
reached out to city leaders and
told Martin they now were
pushing to increase internet
services in rural communities.
Martin told city commissioners last week it appeared
the increased competition may
be good for local businesses,
change has been in healthier
foods and organics, Dickey
said. You have millennials
who look at their food differently than older generations did,
and weve had to try to keep up
with that. Its a broader spectrum now than it used to be.
Bobs Supersavers will
retain two stores the company
owns in Emporia, Dickey said.

vacancies at this point, Martin
said.
City commissioners also
have appointed people to fill
seats on all of the citys advisory boards. Those volunteer
positions had seen high turnover during 2016 for various
reasons, such as someone
moved or left for health reasons. Martin said she now
believes the boards are back
on solid ground and have
good people in their leadership
roles.
But the city still has work to
do in other areas, Martin told
commissioners.
The commission and new
city manager will need to
decide about the water plant
improvements, oversee the
south bound turn lane project
on Highway 59, continue discussions about the installation
of high speed internet, resurrecting the PRIDE program in
Garnett along with day-to-day
operations and other projects
the commission has in mind,
she wrote in a report to commissioners.

although KS Fiber Net officials
told her they planned to reorganize and re-evaluate their plans
for the City of Garnett after the
first of this year.
Martin also told commissioners about a staff change at Vyve
Communications, which is the
citys franchise cable television
and residential internet service
provider. The citys contact at
the company retired, and it
was not yet known who would
fill that role. Martin said the
representative had been very
helpful at resolving problems
during the past couple of years.
Vyve has come under fire for
several years because of poor
service after the company took
over the beleagured Allegiance
Communications, and several
promises made by Vyve never
panned out.
Martin also told commissioners she continues to
receive complaints about Vyve,
especially about recent rate
increases, but the city has little
control over such things. After
the cable television industry
was deregulated in recent
years, the city lost its ability
to approve or deny those rate
increases, Martin said.

OPINION
2016 a scapegoat for addiction
The credulous acceptance in some quarters of pop culture as 2016 ended was that
somehow the year had become some kind
of demon with a ravenous appetite for
claiming the lives of entertainers. The
year had been brutal, the TV talking
heads have told us.
But you cant blame poor, innocuous
2016 it just happened to be the year a lot
of candles finally stopped burning at both
ends. The reality in many cases is, it was
our favorite pop idols penchant for drugs
and booze that caught up with them, in a
year that was really only a bystander.
Merle Haggard, for instance, made hard
living a legendary lifestyle. He never really identified as an addict but he drank
hard most of his life and immortalized
the habit in song. At one point he bought
a boot full of cocaine and holed up on his
houseboat for five months. Amazingly he
made a pretty good run out of it all, passing away this year on his birthday at the
age of 79.
Rock star David Bowie died at 69 this
year of liver cancer. He fought cocaine
addiction through most of the 1970s to the
point he flirted with suicide at the age of
28. He supposedly kicked it all and sobered
up in the early 80s. Cocaine might not
have killed him but its hard to argue it
didnt rob him of time and fortune.
Pop genius Prince suffered from crippling stage fright for decades and needed
pain killers to give him courage to perform in front of audiences. Later physical
ailments meant more opioids and other
prescription drugs to the point its said he
sometimes took 80 pills a day. His overdose was accidental, but it was because
his bodys baseline was already brimming
with foreign chemicals.
If you drew breath in the 1980s and
could tune a radio knob, you remember
George Michael as a member of the British
supergroup WHAM! jamming dance club
floors with his amazing voice and peppy
melodies. He struggled to hide his homosexuality until the 1990s and abused her-

oin, opiates and marijuana religiously,
reportedly continuing his lavish all-nightinto-the-next-day parties into the weeks
before he died at age 53. His race ended
Christmas Day.
And 2016 got blamed for a double last
week. Carrie Fisher, Star Wars Princess
Leia to many of you, was a mess most
of her life battling cocaine addiction,
depression, manic depression and a belief
that drug-ravaged Republican lobbyist R.
Gregory Stevens ghost haunted her house
after he died there one night. A heart
attack got her at age 60 last week, and her
mom Debbie Reynolds died the day after
from the strain.
The debates raged for decades whether artist/creative types are more prone
to addiction for some reason. There are
always exceptions to every rule, but its
noteable you never hear of Bill Gates or
Warren Buffet falling off stage in a stupor
at one of their celebrated joint appearances.
Sadly there will be more in 2017, and
not just in Hollywood but here in our
own community. Succumbing to booze
and drugs is nothing were insulated from,
but its a real live death threat to which
those dealing with it our own friends,
family members and acquaintances will
hopefully find an answer soon.
We cant blame a year any year for
reaping what we sow.

Get out 2016. Glad to see you go.
I have a question for our Garnett school district and our county sheriff. If a male teacher
was caught texting inappropriate messages
or pictures to a female student hed be all
over the news and in the paper. So how can
a female teacher do the same thing to male
students at Anderson County High School
and get a secret deal where everybody keeps
their mouth shut if she just skips town? The
old double standard in Garnett is here again.
Thank you.
I know you cant get the Topeka paper down
in Garnett so heres a story Im passing along
for all you folks who think you have to have
pit bulls. This story was in Tampa, Florida. Well anyway, this dog bit a 52 year-old
Whos really the boss of the Republican Party?
Donald Trump was supposed to take over
the Republican Party, but the question going
forward will be whether the Republican Party
takes over him.
So far the early legislative agenda of
Republicans after the Trump revolution is
shaping up to be what you would have expected prior to the Trump revolution. Its a cookie-cutter GOP program that any Republican
who ran for president in the past 40 years
would feel comfortable signing, with its prospective centerpiece being another round of
across-the-board tax cuts.
This is why the Democratic approach to
Trump so far, besides being insane, is wrongheaded. The Democrats are preparing to fight
what they consider a kleptocratic handmaiden of Vladimir Putin, an unprecedented threat
to the American republic that justifies cockamamie schemes like calling for the Electoral
College to ignore the results of the election.
There is no doubt that Trump is unlike any
prior president. But Democrats will in all likelihood find their opposition to Trump running
in a familiar rut — Republicans are heartless
tools of corporations and the wealthy. They
dont care if people lose their health insurance. They are cutting taxes for the rich. They
are deregulating bankers. Etc., etc.
The candidate who issued thunderous jeremiads during the campaign against a globalized elite that had literally stolen from small-
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
town America has assembled a Cabinet that
by and large could have been put together by
Ted Cruz, or for that matter, Mitt Romney.
Then theres the congressional agenda. The
early indications are that Republicans will
pass a partial repeal of Obamacare out of the
gate that could further destabilize the laws
rickety exchanges and lead to people losing
their insurance.
Next, congressional Republicans want
to move on to large-scale tax reform. The
starting point will likely be House Speaker
Paul Ryans already well-developed plan for
across-the-board income-tax cuts and a lower
corporate tax rate. For all its merit, Ryans
reform could have been incubated by any conservative think tank before anyone imagined
Trump might run for president, let alone win.
Whats the point in having a populist
Republican in the White House if congressional Republicans cant find a way to couple some replacement measures with their
Obamacare repeal to give people other options
for getting health insurance? Or if congressional Republicans cant make their tax plan
more oriented toward the middle class, perhaps including a cut in payroll taxes?
All of this is subject to change, and Trump
can potentially blow up the best-laid plans of
congressional Republicans with one tweet. Of
course, Trump will be heard from on infrastructure, trade and immigration, where he is
in a different place than much of his party.
Neither wing of the GOP may like it, but
the Reaganites and the populists are now in
an uneasy alliance. It behooves the champions
of a highly traditional Republican platform
to think about what Trumps victory means
and to be more mindful than in the past of
the interests of working-class voters. And it
behooves Trump the firebrand to consider the
responsibilities of governing.
There is a balance to be struck. The
Republican establishment may welcome a
more normal Trump, but so, in the end, will
Democrats.

Real new year for legistlators starts Jan. 9
Might want to stretch out, maybe finish
up that Christmas book you got last week,
and get ready for what us Statehouse insiders
consider the real New Year, which happens in
daylightat 2 p.m. Jan. 9.
There wont be any of those red plastic cups
filled with ice and pop and whatever else
but thats when 40 senators and 125 representatives take their oaths of office and start
reshaping the state government.
Its going to be fascinating to watch, were
promising.
First, of course, there is that little matter of
filling a $350 million shortfall in the current
fiscal year budget, trimming spending, pulling money out of programs that were safely
protected by state law just last summer.
That $350 million shortfall? Might have
been easier to deal with last year if lawmakers
had known just how much money the state
would receive, but now with less than six
months left in the fiscal year, its going to be
the equivalent of twice that impact on agencies and programs in the traditional budget
year.
Once that current year shortfall is dealt
withand thats the key to the rest of the
session and upcoming budgetswell, there is
the $443 million shortfall that will have to be
accommodated for the next fiscal year. Thats
a two-year total of nearly $800 million that
must be pulled out of the budget, and thats not
going to be pretty.
Thats just the start for a session that has
even old-timers a little shaken.
Atop the revenue shortfalls, lawmakers
are bracing for the Kansas Supreme Court
decision on whether the state is spending a
constitutionally adequate amount of money
STATE COMMENTARY
MARTIN HAWVER, At The Rail
to ensure all Kansas public schoolchildren
are receiving equal access to educational programs.
But what about those less-than-earthshaking issues, depending on where you are standing?
Highways? Dont look for much new spending, and at some point, the recent cutbacks
in construction programs are going to draw
legislative attention. Just cutting spending
is one thing that the Kansas Department of
Transportation has experts to assess what is
necessary for safe operation of the highway
system.
But at some point, it is likely that legislators themselves will start making decisions
on what roads get repaired and which bridges
replaced. Politically, you need to keep your
House or Senate district constituents safe,
or get that handy off-ramp built, but the real
prospect of safety of the entire state highway
system being based on political opportunity is
a littleunsettling?
Need to save money? One obvious way is
to determine just who gets room and board in
state prisons and local jails. Keep the dangerous folks locked up, of course, but paring sentences and costs by non-incarceration of some
criminals sounds reasonable. While lock em
up is political red meat, the cost savings by
not imprisoning folks who have committed a
crime, but not endangered others, is one way
to go. But will the need to save money be louder than the ever-popular tough on crime?
Thatll be one to watch
And, of course, taxes are the issue that
everyones watchingjust who ought to pay
taxes, and whether there is a provable dollarsand-cents profit to the state in not collecting
taxes from those LLCs and self-employed and
farmers who are mulling this issue while
chewing prosciuttonot baloneyin their
sandwiches.
Will the rush to balance the budget with
cuts sideline the tax issue? Is it possible to
cut services and programs that major campaign contributors dont use so that the need
for more state revenue is reduced? Is cutting
spending so front-page important that lawmakers forget the tax shortfall that makes it
necessary?
That may be the key to the upcoming sessiondistraction.
And the key to that key? Whether the distraction works

woman down in Florida who was trying to
put a sweater on the dog. In Florida, trying to
put a sweater on a dog. Apparently everything
was fine, everybody enjoying a family Christmas, until this gal tried to put a sweater on a
pit bull. Then it bit her husband and their 22
year-old son who was trying to get it off of
her. I didnt look on the Internet to see what
the temperature was in Florida last week but
I bet it was every bit of 70 degrees, and this
woman was trying to put a sweater on pit
bull. Now I ask you, and this goes for a lot of
pit bull owners I know of, who in this story is
really the lesser species?
Apparently our rural fire director and emergency personnel have too much time on their
hands. It seems there is an almost constant
request for new equipment for these departments. There is absolutely nothing wrong
with the Welda Fire Station as it is. Why
do our commissioners always approve this
constant drain? Surely we can be a little more
selective about our needs versus our wants.
Im quite sure someone from that department
will point out the frequent matching funds,
but it is still ridiculous to read about these
guys and their requests every week, not to
mention their approval every week. Am I the
only one whose taxes keep raising?

music provided by the Ford Family singers and
the Osawatomie Brass.
A special thank-you to Erin Miller with
Garnett Flowers and Gifts for her generous gift
of poinsettias for every stop on the tour.
The Holiday Homes Tour is a major fundraiser for the Friends of the Library and we so appreciate all who purchase tickets and enjoy the tour.
We are now ready to start thinking about next

The Richmond United Methodist
Women celebrated the season with a
German-themed meeting to close the
year.
The noon luncheon menu included:
Hot Fruit Punch, Bierocks, Reuben casserole, kraut and ribs, Harvard beets,
German potato salad, kraut casserole,
Currywurst, Bavarian potato dumplings, and Beethoven Restaurants recipe for green beans. The breads were
squash-spinach braid and Stollen, and
the dessert German chocolate cake.
The menu complimented the program
by Sherryl Reiter who told about a traditional German Christmas, including the
tree, crche, music, markets, food and
gift-giving. Since few of the members
are of German descent, it was especially
enlightening and enjoyable.
Dee Anne Harnden and Harriett
Woods of Ottawa were guests.
The Love Offering was used for gifts
which Janice McIntosh purchased that
were given to a less-fortunate family in
the Central Heights School district.
Two area educators will be
able to use grants from The
Blue Cross And Blue Shield
Of Kansas Foundation for programs to encourage Healthy

Four steps to better livestock production
K-State researchers recommend new feed-particle size analysis method
MANHATTAN Theres a big difference between coarse grind and fine
grind, and its not just in our morning coffee. When it comes to grinding grain for livestock feed, especially
swine, digestibility and efficiency are
influenced by how large the grain
particles are. Typically, the finer the
grind the better up to a point.
New research by Kansas State
University shows commercial laboratories and livestock producers who
run their own analyses on grain-particle size can reduce the time it takes to
check a sample from 15 minutes down
to 10 minutes and get the same result
by making a couple of changes to the
process.
Grain accounts for a major component and cost in livestock diets, said
Charles Stark, associate professor in
K-States Department of Grain Science
and Industry. The particle size of
ground grain influences feed digestibility, feed efficiency, how well it
mixes and how well it can be pelleted,
so periodic particle-size evaluation is
a necessary part of quality feed manufacturing.
For that reason, Stark and other
K-State researchers and specialists
recommend routine evaluation of the
grinding process, whether through a
hammer mill or roller mill to determine grain-particle size.
The cost of the equipment needed to
run such analyses, however, typically
runs $5,000 or more, he said, so most
producers in Kansas send grain samples to commercial laboratories or the
K-State Swine Lab for analysis.
During the analysis process, grain
samples go through a stack of sieves
with coarse sieves at the top. As a
machine shakes and taps, the grain
works its way down through increasingly fine sieves, and ultimately to
where the sieve opening is smaller
than the smallest particle. The small
sieves get down to particles of about 53
microns.
Stark outlined new recommendations based on the research at the
recent K-State Swine Day 2016 in
Manhattan and in a new publication,
Evaluating Particle Size of Feedstuffs.
The new recommendations for running feed through a sieve to determine
particle size are to use sieve shakers;
sieve agitators, such as rubber balls
or brushes; a dispersing or flow agent
such as silicon dioxide; and to use 10
minutes of sieving time.
This is different than what many
labs are doing, Stark said, and its
been adopted by the K-State Swine
Lab. Until now, the analysis process
typically included a 10- or 15-minute
sieving time and often hasnt incorporated sieve agitators or flow agents,
but K-States work indicates that a
10-minute sieving time is sufficient if
labs incorporate sieve agitators and a
dispersing agent.
Without sieve agitators or a dispersing agent, buildup occurs on the
sieves, which keeps grain particles
from moving through, making the
results less accurate than they should
be.
The research results showed that
10-minute cycles and 15-minute cycles
with the sieve agitators are basically
identical, so Stark and other K-State
specialists believe 10 minutes with the
agitators and flow agent will give the
result needed, he said.
With all of the different methods
used in the industry and commercial
labs, its important to know how your
lab is conducting the analysis and that
adding the agitators and flow agent
will significantly reduce the particle
result, Stark said.

Lenders expect financial stress to worsen for farmers, ranchers
MANHATTAN According to
a recent study of lenders, financial stress on farmers is expected to continue for some time.
Our research indicates a
continued deterioration in
agricultural credit conditions,
said Allen Featherstone, head
of the Kansas State University
Department of Agricultural
Economics.
The 2016 Fall Agricultural
Lender Survey by the Kansas
State University Department
of Agricultural Economics and
the University of Georgia studies the expectations of lenders in regard to interest rates,
spread over cost of funds, farmloan volume, nonperforming
loans and land values as indicators of the overall health of
the farm finance sector.
According to the twice-ayear study, more than 50 percent of land values are decreas-
ing within the areas covered
by participating lenders. These
values are set to continue to
decrease over the short- and
long term and are affecting
credit limits for landowners
and producers. Non-performing
loans are also on the rise for
all loan types, and expectations
show the number of these loans
will continue to increase in this
stressed financial market.
The survey indicates the
decreased liquidity in production operations has increased
demand for farm loans and, in
particular, operating loans in
attempts to bridge the gap of
the current fiscal downturn.
Making matters worse, interest
rates on those loans are expected to increase and continue to
rise over time.
These problems arent isolated to just one crop. They
are spreading into every aspect
of farming. Both the livestock
sectors and the crop sectors are
struggling meeting cash-flow
issues, said Featherstone.
Producers and lenders
across the state can gain deeper insight into these issues
by attending a program
offered by the Kansas State
University Department of
Agricultural Economics, Top
10 Considerations to Navigate
a Struggling Farm Economy.
The seminar will be offered at
six locations across the state in
January and February.

the outlook for agricultural
credit conditions and commen-
tary on areas of concern with-
in agriculture, go to the com-

Survey.
K-State researcher develops soil health research program in SE Kansas
PARSONS A Kansas State
University researcher is looking for
ways to keep soil and nutrients on
farm fields and reduce the amount
washing into the water supply
through erosion. That helps farmers and improves water quality for
everyone in southeast Kansas where
the work is under way.
Gretchen Sassenrath, K-State associate professor of agronomy, is developing a soil health research program
to better understand the mechanisms
contributing to soil erosion and the
extent of that erosion in crop production fields. She and a team of
researchers are trying to determine
if underlying soil characteristics,
such as the claypan layer prevalent
in southeast Kansas soils, exacerbate
soil loss.
We are studying crop production
and the mechanisms of soil erosion to
develop ways of managing the crops
(reduced or no-tillage; cover crops;
crop rotations) that improves the soil
health, increases crop productivity,
and also benefits the waterways, said
Sassenrath, who is based in Parsons,
Kansas. The decline in water quality
is an obvious off-farm impact of poor
soil health. Cleaning up the water
starts with healthy soils.
The researchers current work centers on the Middle Neosho Watershed
which encompasses portions of five
predominantly agricultural counties in southeast Kansas. The water-
shed ends where the Neosho River
crosses the state line into Oklahoma.
Agricultural activities together with
high rainfall rates in that part of
Kansas contribute to a loss of sediments and nutrients from erosion-prone silt loam soils in the area.
That erosion has impaired the
water quality of streams and rivers
in the area as well as downstream
water in neighboring states. Such
negative environmental impacts are
similar to problems occurring in
other locations in the United States
and the world.
A University Small Research
Grant from the K-State Office of
Research and Sponsored Programs
in fall 2015 helped Sassenrath analyze
terrain, take soil samples, and test
and map soil electrical conductivity.
Relating soil electrical conductivity
to physical properties of soils shows
the extent of soil variability within a
field, changes in soil textural characteristics with depth in the soil (such
as clay content), and the depth of the
productive silt-loam topsoil layer.
To date, we have found the depth
to claypan varies greatly across a
field. Moreover, the extent of topsoil
loss is not consistent with topographic position, so other factors appear to
play a greater role in sediment and
nutrient loss, Sassenrath said.
Understanding the fundamental
processes of erosion in these claypan soils allows us to develop better
management practices to reduce sediment and nutrient loading to streams
and waterways, she said.
Sassenrath presented her research
results at recent conferences including the Governors Conference on
the Future of Water in Kansas in
November. She also regularly communicates with southeast Kansas
producers through K-State Research
and Extension.
She has submitted a proposal to
the National Science Foundation for
continued funding of the work.
Sassenraths project was also
supported by the K-State Southeast
Research and Extension Center in
Parsons.
State Fire Marshal releases annual Fires in Kansas report
TOPEKA – The Office of the
State Fire Marshal has released
its annual Fires in Kansas
report based on reporting to the
Kansas Fire Incident Reporting
System by fire departments
throughout the state. The statistics presented in this annual
report were for calendar year
2015. The report highlights the
significant role the Kansas
fire service plays in protecting
lives and property of the citizens of the state.
According to this report,
incidents of almost every type
of fire were reduced between
2014 and 2015, with the exception of vehicle fires. The most
common type of fire was
Vegetation Fire, and incidents of this type of fire reduced
from 8,414 in 2014 to 7,188 in
2015. The second most common
type of fire is Structure Fire,
and there were 488 fewer structure fires in 2015 than in 2014
(3,660 in 2015 compared to 4,148
in 2014).
Knowing the whens, whys,
wheres and hows of fire in
Kansas enables our brave firefighters to more intelligently
attack the problems of fire in
Kansas, said Doug Jorgensen,
State Fire Marshal. Our agency equips fire departments
across the state with the information they need to be increasingly intelligent in how they
protect the lives and property
of Kansans.
During 2015, vegetation fires
accounted for nearly 48% of all
fires. Kansas vegetation fires
are mostly small, with 80% of
vegetation fires burning less
than 10 acres. Fire departments
reported a loss of 110,690 burned
acres in 2015, a significant drop
from 2014 during which 189,514
acres was burned.
One in five vegetation fires
are caused by a controlled burn
(1,382 in 2015) and most of these
occurred during Spring with
812 in March 2015 alone.
The overwhelming majority of wildfires in Kansas are
caused by humans. Only 3%
of vegetation-related fires are
attributed to fully natural causes. Prescribed burns, poorly
maintained vehicles/equipment, and heat sources being
used in a flammable place or in
an unsafe manner are all common ways that wildfires get
started.
Structure Fires
Kansas is well on its way to
reducing structure fires. There
was almost an 11% decrease
in structure fires during 2015
alone. Residential fires have
accounted for 71-76% of structure fires during the past 15
years. In 2015, 72% of structure
fires were residential fires.
The most common fire cause
is cooking, with one in three
home fires in Kansas being
cooking-related. Cooking fires
in 2015 caused a reported loss
of $1,656,086. Alcohol, drugs
and sleepiness are causes
for cooking fires year-round.
Impairments and sleeping
were involved in 28% of fatal
cooking fires over the last 15
years.
Homes
with
children
pose an increase in fire risk.
Unsupervised children cooking
in the kitchen caused 98 fires in
2015. Since 2001, 1,639 cooking
fires started with unattended
children resulting in 93 injuries.
Equipment-caused
fires
were the second most common
type of structure fire in 2015.
Clothes dryers and water heaters are major culprits in starting this type of fire.
There are special areas of
concern when it comes to fire
safety in apartment buildings.
Families in apartment buildings live close together, affecting each others risks associated with fire. Landlords and
tenants alike have a role to play
in maintaining a fire-safe place
to live. In 2015, multi-family
dwellings accounted for a total
of 19.4% of residential structure fires in Kansas and they
accounted for a statistically
higher 32.6% of cooking fires. A
full 55% of multi-family dwelling fires are cooking-related.
Balconies/porches are the
top area of origin for smoking
fires. Multi-family dwellings
have a larger problem with 37%
of smoking fires happening on
a balcony or porch. Often, these
fires are caused by smoking
materials discarded into potted
plants or mulch. Both are flammable and cause smoldering
fires.
The Fire Service and EMS
While the incidents of fire
calls were reduced, the number of Emergency Medical
Service (EMS) calls increased
by 9,372 reported calls in 2015.
Increasing EMS calls is a continued trend in the shifting

1977: City says cars can no longer follow fire trucks
January 2, 2007
A Garnett city utility truck
stolen last Tuesday was the
fifth vehicle in a rash of six
automotive thefts in Garnett
in recent weeks, and although
law enforcement officials
have a suspect in mind no
charges have been filed. The
result so far has been insurance claims, inconvenience
for those left without transportation even temporarily
and tens of thousands of dollars in damage to vehicles and
property. Local police say its
a classic illustration of the
importance of taking the keys
out of your vehicle when you
park it.
Glen Hermreck spent the
bulk of his working life at
the helm of the State Bank of
Colony, and as of last Friday
clocked out for the last time to
start his retirement. Hesitant
to make a big deal of out ending his tenure from the bank
thats been like a home to him
for 31 years, Hermreck said
he has no firm plans for the
immediate future.

were stolen.
January 1, 1987
A local business is currently under fire from the Garnett
City Commission and Police
Department for being a public safety hazard and
what one commissioner termed a disgrace
to Garnett. The verbal assault came as a
result of an inspection
of the back alley behind
the Anderson County
Appliance and Service
Center by a commissioner and the police
chief. An inspection discovered several appliances with functioning
doors and latches which
could trap a child inside
causing suffocation.
The owner of the business said all the doors
had magnetic gaskets
and could be pushed
open from the inside.
No further developments have been
released in the continuing investigation
which occurred Dec. 25
and destroyed the Terra
building on Seventh
Street and damaged
the building housing
After years of discussion and false starts, the countys Emergency Medical Service department in 2007 now
has a headquarters big enough for its ambulances. Funds for the new $375,450 building came from a refinance of hospital construction bonds and from additional county budget cuts trimmed in other areas.
Roland and Helen Schneider handed gift deeds for two lots in the
Lizer Addition to Hospital Board Chairperson Bonnie McAdam in 1987.
Also pictured are County Commissioners Wayne Howarter, Dudley
Feuerborn and Bill Young. The gift deed covers lots five and six in the
Lizer Addition. The lots are adjacent to the condo site and are valued at
a total of $6,000. The land will now become part of the site for condos
and be incorporated into plans for the building.
For those who are waiting for the return of the house call, heres a flashback to the days of Dr. Martha
Cunningham, printed in 1977 courtesy of the Anderson County Historical Society files. Dr. Cunningham was
one of the first women doctors in Kansas and practiced in Garnett from 1886 to 1912 from her office on the
corner of Sixth and Oak streets. With her faithful horse, Prince, she made calls in Garnett and throughout the
surrounding country. In the picture with her is her sister, Miss Belle, who worked in a drug store in Garnett.

January 3, 1977
The city of Garnett and
Anderson County are taking
steps in order to cut down on
the large number of people
who follow the fire trucks to
fires. From now on, anyone
following a fire truck will
be ticketed. If the problem
persists, roadblocks may be
set up on the main arteries
to stop motorists. The meeting was precipitated by the
extreme number of automobiles following trucks to the
grass fire on Fourth Street
Tuesday night. There was a
near constant stream of cars
all the way to the fire.
The first price hike of the
new year will greet Kansas
motorists as they go to pay
for their new vehicle registration fees. Some surprises are evident in the way of
revised truck regulations and
fee increases; some dramatic,
are seen in nearly all vehicle
classifications.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, January 3, 2017
BUSINESS
Dad was right when it comes to winter travel
When I think about the
perils associated with winter
travel, I think about my dads
simple, but sound advice,
Stay off the roads.
Dad had lived by this creed
for more than 80 years in
northwestern Kansas. Hed
seen his share of blowing and
drifting snow. When he talked about western Kansas blizzards, the years of 31 and 57
were singled out.
The 31 blizzard hit on April
Fools Day and killed hundreds of cattle. One of Dads
neighbors lost 80 head of cattle
in a pasture less than a quarter mile west of their small
community of Seguin.
I was just a youngster, but
I remember the blizzard of
57. Snow drifted as high as
the roof on my friend, Vernon
Rietchecks two-story home.
We sledded down the drifts
and played in the snow all day.
Our parents werent as
lucky. There were roads to
INSIGHT
JOHN SCHLAGECK, Kansas Farm Bureau
open and cattle to feed and
water. Our homes were without electricity for five days.
My father and those hearty
souls who lived on the High
Plains learned from these
storms. He learned to travel
only when necessary to feed,
water and care for his livestock. He never traveled anywhere in his pickup without
several pairs of gloves, a scoop
shovel, a log chain and chains
for the rear tires.
Dad always wore a cap with
ear protection and carried
a couple extra on the front
seat of his pickup in the winter. The trunk of our car also
had extras. He knew a person couldnt last long outside
in freezing weather with all
of your body heat escaping
through the top of a bare head.
If we traveled anywhere
during the winter months,
the trunk of the family car
was always packed with extra
warm clothes, blankets, overalls, gloves, a flashlight, fresh
batteries, chains and a shovel
to clear the snow from in front
of the tires.
Dad had been stuck in snow
before. Hed heard of, and
known of, people who were
stranded and froze to death in
some of the fierce northwestern Kansas blizzards. Before
every winter season began,
and often throughout, hed
remind us of these stories.
My father always topped
off his fuel tanks for winter
travel. He believed a full tank
provided extra weight on the
rear wheels.
It runs better on the top
half (of the tank), he always
said.
Although Dad never carried
sand bags in the back of his car
or trucks, he did carry extra
weight during the winter. He
always lugged around tractor
tire weights while some of his
neighbors preferred sand and
sprinkled the gritty stuff in
front of their tires for extra
traction in snow and ice.
If someone absolutely had to
go out during a winter storm,
ANDERSON
Dad preached extra time and
patience. If youre frightened
or overly concerned about
weather conditions dont
drive. Wait the storm out.
Remember, it takes a while
to find your driving legs
each new winter season, hed
say.
Relax. Sit back in the seat.
From time to time take deep
breaths. Dont grip the wheel
until your knuckles turn
white.
Try to anticipate what
other drivers intend to do.
Let them speed, spin, slip and
slide. Allow at least twice as
long to reach your destination. Concentrate on the road
ahead, behind and on your
right and left.
While driving during haz-
ardous weather brings out the
worst in some drivers, it can
also bring out the best in others. Some welcome the chance
to brave the elements. To
drive safely under such conditions can provide a feeling of
satisfaction and accomplishment.
Drive safely and know your
limitations. Remember, if you
must take a chance that could
result in an accident or worse,
Stay off the road.

customer newsletters
Doing a customer newsletter
strikes fear and dread into the
hearts of most small business
owners. Unfortunately, its for
all the wrong reasons.
Most people are terrified
of writing. Bad spelling; bad
grammar; dangled prepositions- none of them are punishable by death. For heavens
sake, get a grip on yourself.
Despite all the fears, a customer newsletter is perhaps the
single best and least expensive
way to maintain your relationship with existing customers
people you want to come and
spend money with you again.
Its a chance to stay in contact
with them twice a year or quarterly or every month and tell
them something besides, boy,
I sure wish youd come back
and spend some money here.
And as you stay in touch,
youre reminding them youre
still around, so they can come
back and spend some money!
You take it for granted
because youre so close to it,
but you solve a problem. Your
newsletter should talk about
how you solve problems for
customers.
The List: For starters you
need a list of email addresses.
You should gather these from
customers or even train your
staff to ask those who call you
for information or job quotes.
Youll include an unsubscribe note at the bottom of
the email in case someone
doesnt want it, and be sure to
act on those promptly.
Format: Look for online
templates from existing services, check your word processing or other software for suggested templates, or if need be
just use your standard email.
How it looks isnt as important
as the fact that you get it done.
Topics: Tap your customers
for topics by listening to their
frequent questions, or even
something off the wall they

tell you that might be unique.
Seasonality may also apply to
your business and provide topics, like holiday ideas, snow
& ice, cold weather versus hot
weather, etc. Again, consider
what you hear from customers
repeatedly under various circumstances.
Features: Every newsletter needs a feature a story
from above thats at least a few
paragraphs with a photo or a
visual of some kind. Should be
something of interest to your
customer; something specific
to your industry maybe an
interesting recent case or event
you worked on, etc. Use your
own voice- write the way you
speak its the most authentic.
Nuggets: Fast facts, a list of
tips, seasonal suggestions, trivia, links to other articles online,
etc. Short and to the point. And
dont forget to include your
phone number and contact info
somewhere.
A customer newsletter is too
important and too effective for
you to be intimidated out of
pursuing it. Set a goal to put
out your first newsletter next
month.

Our Town
It was the year of 1985 when
a committee was formed and
work began on celebrating
Colonys 100 year old town
whose population was 450 that
year. In viewing a picture,
there were 15 committee members. Norma Ballard, appointed
by the city council for the centennial celebration, was committee chairman. Three members remain today-myself, Jay
Dutton and Wallace Strickler.
Colony got its name from
the fact that a colony of people from Ohio and Indiana settled here. Initially there was
a railroad station here called
Divide. In 1872 settlers began to
arrive and by mid-May a hundred people had moved to the
vicinity. It wasnt until March
4, 1883 when an application was
made and signed by 50 people to
change the name of Divide to
Colony.
A history book was compiled
that year. The day of the event
was held on Saturday, August
31. A parade was held beginning at the County Road east
of Glen Hermreck. A kids pet
parade was formed and they
joined the parade at the Ed
Bunnel yard. An antique car
show, pony pulling, beard and
costume contest, was among
the events held. The Christian
Church compiled a cook book.
An area barbeque by the Colony
Lions Club was held, marching
bands and square dancing was
enjoyed also. It was a fun day!

Governor proclaims January as
Kansas Radon Action Month
TOPEKA Kansas Governor
Sam Brownback and the
Kansas Department of
Health and Environment
(KDHE) have proclaimed
January Kansas Radon
Action Month to help educate Kansans about the dangers of radon exposure and
encourage actions to identify
and address radon problems
in the home.
Radon is a tasteless,
odorless, colorless, naturally occurring radioactive
gas found in nearly all soils
which comes from the breakdown of uranium. Outdoors,
radon is diluted to low concentrations, but once inside
an enclosed space, radon can
accumulate to significant levels.
Radon is the first leading cause of lung cancer in
non-smokers and the second
leading cause in smokers.
Nationally, radon causes
21,000 lung cancer deaths
each year.
About one out of every
three radon measurements
performed in Kansas are elevated, being above 4 pCi/l
(picoCuries per liter). Some
areas have higher levels
than others, though elevated levels of radon have been
detected in every county in
the state. As many as one in
15 homes across the U.S. has
elevated radon levels that
often go undetected because
of a lack of testing.
Inexpensive radon test
kits are available year round
at local hardware and builders supply stores and at your
Kansas county extension
office. The tests that reveal
high levels can be fixed with
reliable and effective radon
reduction techniques completed by a certified radon
professional. Homeowners
should talk with a certified
radon contractor if levels of
4 pCi/l or above are detected. The cities of Topeka,
Manhattan, Lawrence, Salina
and Junction City have
building codes that require
new homes to be built using
radon-resistant techniques.
Additional information
about radon and a list of certified radon contractors is
available at www.kansasradonprogram.org. Additional
information is also available
by calling the Kansas Radon
Hotline at 800-693-KDHE (800693-5343).
Emergency loans available from FSA
Farmers in Coffey and
Anderson Counties, who suffered crop or livestock losses due to severe storms and
flooding occurring September
2, 2016 through September
12, 2016. may now apply for
Farm Service Agency (FSA)
emergency loans, FSA Farm
Loan Manager Stacy Kull, said
today.
Coffey
and
Anderson
Counties became eligible under
existing legislation which provides that farmers in counties
bordering on those which have
been designated for disaster
assistance, may also qualify for
such assistance. Applications
for assistance will be accepted
by FSA until July 21, 2017.
Loans covering physical
and/or production losses are
scheduled for repayment as
rapidly as feasible, consistent
with the applicants reasonable
ability to pay, said Kull.
FSAs Farm Loan Programs
staff is committed to new and
existing customers, FSA customer goals and our rural
communities. FSAs service
extends beyond the typical
loan, offering FSA customers
ongoing consultation, advice
and creative ways to make
your farm business thrive. At
the Farm Service Agency, we
want to be your lender of first
opportunity to overcome these
adverse weather conditions
and rebuild your operation
to get back on track. FSAs
loan staff can refer customers
to other public and commercial financing sources that can
serve as a blend with FSAs
farm loan programs.
FSA loans covering physical
losses may be used to replace
installations, equipment, livestock, or buildings (including
homes), lost through this disaster.
FSA loans covering production losses may be used to
buy feed, seed, fertilizer, livestock, or to make payments on
real estate and chattel debts.
Funds can also be used for
other essential operating and
living expenses, Kull said.
To be eligible for an emergency disaster loan, an applicant must be operating a family size farm or ranch, must be
unable to get credit elsewhere,
and must have suffered a qualifying physical and/or production loss from the disaster.
Farmers who suffered at
least a 30 percent reduction
to at least one cropping enterprise, may have a qualifying
production loss. Emergency
disaster production loss loans
cover 100 percent of qualifying
losses.
Farmers and ranchers that
think they may be eligible
should contact the FSA County
Office in Ottawa, Kansas or
call 785-242-3260 for additional
information and how to apply.
USDA is an equal opportunity
provider, employer, and lender.
