Calpine: Wind farm would be good neighbor
Company officials
want to keep talking
to landowners, others
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
Officials with a Texas-based
energy company, Calpine
Corporation, promised to be
a good neighbor if allowed to
follow through on plans to construct a wind farm south and
east of Greeley.
Plans to build about 100 wind
turbines on a ridge in eastern
Anderson County are in the
very preliminary stage, and it
will take at least one to two
years of study before construction could begin. Calpine officials met with landowners at a
Dec. 15 dinner to discuss their
plans and answer questions.
The officials said they plan to
continue to talk to Anderson
County landowners, residents
and others who are interested
in the project. They encourage
anyone with questions to call
and discuss their concerns, and
expect to have more meetings
in the area in the future.
Although a county commissioner who attended the
meeting described the reception as lukewarm, Calpines
Director of Development
Nathan Vajdos, who led the
discussion, said those who
attended were very supportive
and very inquisitive about the
process. He estimated between
40 and 60 people, both affected
landowners and others, attended. Their questions and concerns were typical for those
types of introductory meetings,
he said.
It showed people are interested and very cautious before
they make a decision like this,
Vajdos said. Were cautiously
Jobless rate drops to
pre-recession levels
Unemployment rate drops
to 3.9 percent in Anderson
County; 4.0 across Kansas
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA – The number of people without
jobs in Anderson County continued to
drop in November, following a recent
trend across the region and state. The
states unemployment rate dropped to its
lowest level in more than 14 years.
There were 175 Anderson County residents without jobs in November, out of a
labor force of 4,540, for an unemployment
rate of 3.9 percent. Thats just a little
lower than the previous month, October,
when the rate was 4.0 percent. This years
unemployment also was a little lower
optimistic, ourselves.
Calpine, with its corporate
office based in Houston, has
83 power plants in operation
or under construction in the
U.S. Brett Kerr, director of
community and government
affairs, said the company focuses on clean energy, primarily through geothermal energy
plants. The company is making
its first forays into wind energy, and the recent meeting is
its first such presentation in
Kansas.
Kansas is considered to be
one of the most windy states in
the nation, and wind farms are
growing in popularity as energy companies attempt to capitalize on the ability to generate
renewable energy, meet new
national standards for renewable energy and take advantage
of national tax credits.
Supporters say such farms
provide a renewable source of
energy, provide farmers with
another way to monetize natural resources, and boost the
economy with jobs and lease
payments to landowners.
Opponents say construction of
the wind turbines damages the
land and replaces the scenic
landscape with tall, ugly tur-
bines. They argue utility companies are forced to buy the
wind energy and pass on rate
increases to customers because
of it.
The wind farm saga has
played out in nearby Coffey
County, where Kansas Wind
Energy is building around 95
turbines south of Waverly,
with many turbines near the
Anderson County line. The turbines are visible from many
areas in western Anderson
County. No significant organized opposition ever developed around that project, but a

Taking a look back
than last year, when the jobless rate in
November 2014 was 4.0 percent.
Anderson County was just below the
states overall employment rate, which
also was 4.0 percent. The state overall
decreased from 4.1 percent in October and
decreased from 4.2 percent in November
2014.
November typically sees an increase
in unemployment claims compared to
October. This year, seasonal inclement
weather and temporary layoffs continued
that trend, said Emilie Doerksen, Labor
Economist, Kansas Department of Labor.
Even with the over the month increase
in claims, continued claims remain below
pre-recession levels, a sign that Kansans
looking for work are able to find it.
There were 13,344 initial claims for

City evaluates tourism plan
Surveys planned
to measure success
of citys marketing
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE REVIEW
GARNETT – When reviewing a five-year plan about
marketing and tourism
for the City of Garnett,
Community Development
Director Susan Wettstein
discovered its difficult to
measure the success of the
citys efforts.
Wettstein gave city
commissioners an update
on the citys five-year plan
last month, during meetings Dec. 8 and Dec. 22.
Although the plan focused
on the citys specific needs
between 2016 and 2018,
Wettstein told commissioners she was going to
need to create a new way
to evaluate the various
goals and objectives outlined in the plan.
The previous evaluation process was too cumbersome for the volunteer
board members, she said.
It required them to file a
report about various tourism goals, which proved to
be too time-consuming for
the unpaid volunteers who
serve on the board.
I kind of lost them in
the evaluation process,
she said.
Instead,
Wettstein
plans to create surveys
that could be completed
not only by the tourism
board members, but also
by the public. She plans
to include the surveys in
a revised version of the
citys website, which is
expected to launch sometime in January and will
make it easier to connect
to various city functions
and be more compatible
with mobile devices like

Denny Hachenberg stands next to a plaque dedicating the new Anderson County Hospital, which opened
in January 2015. Hachenberg, who led the hospital for more than 17 years, is retiring this week. During his
tenure, the hospital became a critical access facility, and underwent a remodel and eventually construction
of the new building.
Hospital CEO reflects on career
Retirement ceremony
set for Thursday to bid
farewell to Hachenberg

The driver of this SUV, George England, age 67, of Kansas City, Kan., escaped injury
thanks to his seatbelt and a guardrail that impaled the vehicles engine. Englands vehicle slid into the guardrail on an icy U.S. 169 north of Welda Monday, Dec. 28, but the
guardrail stopped his vehicle from sliding down a steep embankment.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – It was at someone elses goodbye party that
Denny Hachenberg decided
he wanted to stay at Anderson
County Hospital.
Hachenberg came to ACH in
the fall of 1998 as the interim
administrator upon the departure of former administrator Jim
Johnson. Soon after his arrival, Hachenberg attended a going
away party for Johnson. He
appreciated the way the community and hospital had embraced
Johnson and said goodbye even
as they welcomed the new guy.
Thats when he decided to apply
for the permanent administrator
position.
I thought, This is a place Id
like to work, he said.
Now, more than 17 years later,
the hospital and community will
pay tribute to Hachenberg as
he retires this week. A retirement reception will be 2-5:30 p.m.
Thursday, January 7, in the hospital great room. A short recognition ceremony will begin promptly at 2 p.m. The community and
hospital employees are invited to
attend.
Hachenbergs last day is
Friday, Jan. 8.
Hachenberg has served with
the Saint Lukes Health System
for about 41 years, and has served
at the helm of ACH during most
of the 20 years since the county
agreed to let Saint Lukes lease
and manage the hospital. His successor, Rich McKain, will take
over Monday, Jan. 11.
Despite his long leadership
at ACH, Hachenberg started
his career on the clinical side
of health care rather than the
administrative side. He said he

BARDSLEY
OCTOBER 18, 1922-DECEMBER 31, 2015
Richard Bardsley, age 93,
of Garnett, Kansas, passed
away on December 31, 2015, at
Northpoint Skilled Nursing
Center, Paola, Kansas.
Dick was
the youngest
of five children
born
to
Walter
and Louisa
(Whittle)
Bardsley.
He was born
on October
Bardsley
18, 1922 in
Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. Dick grew up
in Philadelphia, and graduated from Simon Gratz High
School with the class of 1940.
Following high school Dicks
family moved to Clearwater,
Florida. Dick enrolled in the
University of Florida and completed his pre-dental courses.
He went on to earn a degree
in dentistry at the University
of Pennsylvania, where he was
inducted into Omicron Kappa
Upsilon, the national honor
society for dental students in
the top 10% of their class. In
1945 he was commissioned in
the U.S. Naval Reserve with a
rank of Lt (jg) and was stationed
with the Marines in San Diego,
California. While in San Diego
he met a cute little blond navy
nurse and asked her to dance,
thus determining the course of
their lives for the next 57 years
(in his words). On April 5, 1946
Dick married Helen Winfrey
in San Diego, California. He
served as a dentist while in the
Navy. He was also stationed
in Guam and the Naval Air
Station in Atlantic City. He
made his home by the bay in
West Atlantic City, New Jersey.
In 1949, after resigning his commission, Dick opened his dental
practice in Pleasantville, New

WIND…
FROM PAGE 1A
local business owner who also
owns property targeted for lease
by Calpine, Mike Burns, said he
plans to organize an opposition
group for the Anderson County
project.
Vajdos said he spoke with
Burns, and welcomes the discussion, both with those who
are for or against the project.
Weve gone into communities where people loved us and
didnt love us, he said. Wed
love for people to talk to us. Its
the only way to understand the
real issues. We dont pretend
this is our land. Were happy
the landowners will consider
hosting us.
Ideally, Calpine would locate
the Anderson County wind farm
along a ridge that runs roughly
parallel to U.S. 169 from Greeley
toward Bush City. It would consist of about 100 turbines, each
about 500 feet tall, spread out
over roughly 1,000 acres.
Most of the concerns from
landowners and neighbors
revolves around access to the
land. Burns and others said
they were concerned that
Calpine would have unfettered
access to the property, while
landowners would be prohibited from some activities.
Those are the concerns that
can be addressed in these early
stages, Vajdos and Kerr said.
For example, Calpines initial
lease agreement didnt address
access to the properties for
hunting. After talking to landowners about their need to hunt
or allow others to hunt on the
property, Calpine modified the
agreement.
Although there will be some
restrictions, especially during
the construction phase, most
landowners will be able to use
their land in any way they
want, Kerr said.
Its not going to be virgin
land anymore, but really theres
no encumbrance to what they
can do. Its more that we have
access to the land, he said.
If enough landowners agree
to lease enough land for turbines, Calpine will set up meteorologic testing stations at the
proposed tower sites to determine wind patterns. That testing period could take between
one and two years, and will
determine if the company
should move forward with construction of wind towers. If the
data if favorable, Calpine would
begin construction of the towers. If the data is not favorable,
landowners would be compensated through that stage, per
terms of the lease agreement.
If Calpine is able to secure
enough land, and if conditions
continue to favor construction
of the wind towers, Calpine will
be involved with the local community for the next 30 years
or so, Kerr said. That means
its important to develop a good
relationship with area residents, he said.
We want to make sure we
start on the right foot, Kerr
said. We certainly want to hear
from the community and make
sure were a good partner. … If
theres strong opposition from
the community, thats absolutely something that would go into
our consideration. It wouldnt
make sense to go where were
not wanted.
This only gets built if the
landowners agree.
There are several benefits to
a wind farm, Kerr said.
Lease payments to landowners provide an infusion
of money into the local economy. The company would provide various infrastructure
improvements, such as widening roads and building roads
that can support the heavy
equipment needed for construction. The construction process
itself would bring workers to
the local community, boosting
local businesses they would
patronize for places to stay,
eat and shop. After construction, Calpine would hire a crew
to operate a central dispatch
center and maintain the towers; the towers themselves are
stand-alone facilities and do not
require operators at each site.
As for concerns about rate
increases by utility companies,
that is something that is determined by the utilities. Calpine
does not sell its energy directly
to consumers, but to providers
such as KCP&L or Westar. The
company itself does not support
production tax credits, which
are credits paid to utility companies to encourage them to
purchase renewable energy.
Production tax credits guarantee a market for wind energy
for the life of the plant, but critics say those credits force utilities to purchase energy even
when it is not needed, such as
purchasing wind energy even
when market demand is low.
We believe the government should not pick winners
and losers, Kerr said. They
should let the market work. Its
the duty of the utilities to find
the lowest rate. If thats wind,
they should buy a lot of wind. If
thats gas, they should buy a lot
of gas.
Its not quite clear what
impact the wind farm would
have on local property taxes,
as state regulations allow for
various tax breaks to such
companies. Kerr said Calpine
would not ask for additional tax
breaks beyond those typically
given by the state.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, January 5, 2016
EDITORIAL
The pill for Affluenza is justice
It isnt so surprising that an up-againstthe-wall defense attorney would come up
with the so-called affluenza defense for
a rich client in trouble, so the genesis of
the Ethan Couch case in Texas is understandable.
What is hard to swallow is that a judge
during the sentencing phase bought it,
and its the basic gumption of some judges
in various cases across the country that is
just as disconcerting.
Couch was 16 years old two years ago,
driving illegally on a restricted license,
when he got high on drugs and booze and
slammed his dads 4WD pickup into four
people on a roadside in Texas, killing
them and injuring more both in his vehicle and another stopped on the roadside.
He has yet to apologize to the families of
those slain.
To avoid a trial and the possibility of
being tried as an adult Couch pled guilty
to intoxication manslaughter, and during
sentencing his lawyer claimed Couch had
been so spoiled by rich, dysfunctional parents that he had no conventional concept
of right and wrong. The defense is akin to
an insanity plea if a person has no cognitive understanding that his actions violated the law and hurt people, he should really be viewed as a victim of his condition
instead of a criminal. Those injured or
killed become simply the tragic addenda
to societys inability to properly service
someone who is effectively disabled due
to parental spoiling.
Judge Jean Hudson Boyd swallowed
it hook, line and sinker at sentencing,
handing down 10 years of probation with
counseling at an in-patient facility as the
price for the four lives Couch took.
The mounted defense and the sentence
were bad enough, but the story took another turn when Ethan apparently attended
an alcohol-charged going away party in
his honor before his departure for counseling. When video got out, his mother
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
snatched him up and ran to Mexico to
hide him out. They were recently apprehended.
There was no doubt a time in America
when the concept of an affluenza
defense would have been as repugnant
to the court system as it would have been
embarrassing to the attorneys and clients
to whom it might apply. Theres no doubt
that many of the nations wealthy have
behaved in ways that question whether or
not they knew right from wrong, but few
would ever admit it. The courts, in times
when they saw themselves in the role of
meting out justice instead of dissecting
the full concept of civil rights at every
turn, would have laughed such silliness
out of the courthouse.
Lost in this ludicrous equation are
the families of the four people slain by
Couchs outrageous act of irresponsibility. There is no justice in what happened
to them; no penance will replace their
loss.
But there comes a time when theories
and concepts of law can be thought to
death; a time when the most ridiculous of
pop culture stories have to be relegated
to the justified level of their own tragic
stupidity.
There comes a time when we just need
justice.

2015: Remember the year of hysteria
We should be glad that 2015 has passed into
memory, because it was a year when we could
barely hold it together.
It was a year when we freaked out over symbols and scared ourselves with fake statistics.
It was a year when the facts werent allowed to
get in the way of a good, overwrought slogan.
It was a year when we convinced ourselves
that Earth was nearly beyond saving. It was a
year of the safe space and micro-aggression.
It was, in short, a year of hysteria.
By now, we should be familiar with the
workings of hysteria, since — usually whipped
up in social media and stoked by an inflamed
left — it has become such a familiar feature of
our culture and politics.
Hysteria doesnt know when to stop.
After it was collectively decided that the
Confederate flag shared responsibility for
Dylann Roofs hellish murders in Charleston,
South Carolina, Confederate symbols were
hunted down as if they were armed fugitives
from justice. The Memphis City Council even
voted to exhume Nathan Bedford Forrest and
— for good measure — his wife.
Hysteria doesnt care about the facts. In
an extraordinary feat, Black Lives Matter
protestors took something that didnt happen
from a case of justifiable use of police force in
Ferguson, Missouri, and made it the slogan
— Hands up, dont shoot — of a movement
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
alleging systemic police racism. The truth of
Ferguson didnt matter so much as the myth
of Ferguson.
Hysteria will believe anything. After the
San Bernardino attack, the media hawked
the bogus statistic that there had been more
than 350 mass shootings in the U.S. this year,
an almost daily occurrence. A more careful
measure at Mother Jones tallied four mass
shootings in 2015.
Hysteria can be a powerful organizing tool.
The entire world got together in Paris to sign
on to a climate accord, based on the pretense
that without immediate action Earth will be
rendered all but uninhabitable by the ravages
of climate change.
Hysteria is a weapon. On college campuses, students didnt just seek safe spaces
from speech they deemed uncongenial and
decry inadvertent slights known as micro-aggressions, they terrorized anyone not with
the program. A university president was
fired for looking at protestors the wrong way
(University of Missouri), and a prestigious
college campus (Yale) was roiled by a dispute
over whether allegedly tasteless Halloween
costumes could be tolerated. Protestors hunted for university employees they could be
offended by enough to get cashiered.
It is always difficult to motivate people
around careful reasoning about a problem, or
to win a detached argument on the merits. It
is much easier to create hate figures to attack,
to demand immediate action as a sign of
moral purity, and to short-circuit cost-benefit
analysis with apocalyptic warnings. With the
news cycle faster than ever and social media
a constant accelerant, stopping to think, or
to gather all the facts, or to consider possible
downsides, feels more intolerable than ever.
This is the world we live in. 2015 was a year
of hysteria, but why will 2016 be any different?
Stock up on smelling salts and fainting couches.
Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.
How long will these resolutions last?
While thousands of Kansans probably
made New Years resolutions to lose weight
or learn French or maybe just remember
to put their empty rum and wine bottles in
the recycle container in 2016 about 330,000
Kansans have already achieved their resolution.
Thats to not bother paying any Kansas
income tax on the 2015 non-wage earnings of
their LLC or small corporation or farm profits.
But while we read that most of those New
Years resolutions last about two weeks, those
non-Kansas income taxpayers may have to
worry about the next maybe 80 or 90 days for
the Kansas Legislature to meet, adjourn and
leave them alone for another year.
That might just be possible for a legislative session that is focused on the upcoming
electionsunless someone figures out how
to get the roughly 550,000 other voters interested in the issue. Were assuming that the
330,000 income tax- exempt Kansans are a
little self-conscious about it, but are smart
enough to vote to maintain that status.
Now, that margin, roughly 550,000 Kansas
voters who pay taxes and the 330,000 who
dont, becomes a little trickier this session.
The governor says hes not raising any
taxes. Intellectuals and tenured professors
maintain that the tax exemption for those
businesses is bad for Kansas economy, and
Gov. Sam Brownback says theyre wrong.
Butwith the governor asserting that
his signature tax cut plan of 2012, retouched
slightly in 2013 and bailed out last year with
massive sales tax increases and dramatic
paring of the value of longstanding tax deduc-
STATE COMMENTARY
MARTIN HAWVER, At The Rail
tions, you gotta figure that hes vetoing any
rollback of that tax cut.
Which means, of course, that its not just a
simple 21 votes in the Senate and 63 votes in
the House that get those 330,000 Kansans back
in the business of paying income tax. If hes
dead-set against a rollback, then to override
a veto it takes 27 Senate votes and 84 House
votes.
That would create a showdown that
hasnt been seen since the slap-fight over
Brownbacks veto of the bill that required
those Internet-summoned Uber taxi drivers
to have insurance for their riders, when the
Senate mustered a 35-4 vote and the House
followed with a 96-25 tally.
So, does the Legislaturenot its leaders, but the other elected minionstry for
a tax imposition on those 330,000 Kansans?
Depends, of course, on who those 330,000 are.
In hindsight, legislators probably ought to
have made those who take advantage of the
small-business tax exemption declare their
political party affiliation or whether they are
stalwart Republican primary election voters,
which would make the voter reaction to any
tax bill predictable on election day.
Makes you wonder whether that tax-free
status for those small businesses will last a
little longer? Doesnt it?
Well, lawmakers cant reach back into
just-expired 2015, and 2016 looks a little shaky,
this election business and all, so you have to
wonder whether there is any half-step possible.
Orwhether this year, that taxless status
actually boosts state revenues, through new
jobs and buying more equipment to expand
their businesses. And, then it turns out that
Brownback was right, lower taxes yield a
stronger economy and more revenues for the
state and more money to spend on education
and infrastructure.
But were thinking those chances are slim,
and it may again come down to pitting income
vs. consumption, and the choices there
liquor taxes were rejected last session, though
they really arent charging what most liquor
is worthand smokers didnt quit because of
the 50-cent a pack hike last session.
Still, most Statehouse habitues are figuring
that were going to hear more French spoken
this year than belts being tightened, while
those tax-free Kansans ponder whether they
can fit a little bigger car into their garages.

Yes, I was home over Christmas and was
looking through some back copies of the
folks paper and saw the article by Mr. Hicks
about legalizing hemp in Kansas. My wifes
parents are from Kentucky, and this has
been a great thing for farmers in Kentucky.
They are using hemp to replace tobacco
which is on its way out. I think this would be
great for farmers around Garnett. It makes
another crop you can grow about anywhere
and theres no limit to the things they can
use it for. Thank you.
As a long time subscriber, it is interesting
to read this newspapers writings on lack of
economic development in the community
on one hand, and then what appears to be
a closed mind on even looking at the possibility of what a wind generating farm could
contribute to the county. I fully agree that
economic development is needed in a big
way. Proposed significant industrial development always has some negative reaction, but
sometimes the most vocal opposition does
not always turn out to be the majority. I read
elsewhere at the end of 2014 there were 25
active wind farms in Kansas and four were
under construction. This proves it is not a
new and unknown subject. It would seem
logical that the final decision on the project
should be in the hands of the landowners
with input from the county commissioners.
Hopefully this editor will keep an open mind
through the valuation process and present
balanced reporting.
Why did Preston Peine wait until his last day
in office to bring up the sidewalk issue when
they had since 2009 to push the issue? This is
the same as the commissioners, they avoid
the situation and then they want to bring
it up when theyre leaving office. Its kind
of strange we dont do anything until were
leaving office. Kind of late now.

smartphones and tablets.
Although the tourism and marketing plan
needs to find a better evalution process and various other aspects of the plan had to be changed
slightly to account for new events like the Lake
Grand Prix Revival event and the citys partnership with the Chamber of Commerce, Wettstein
said she had learned the five-year plan serves
as a good checklist tool. The plan was pushed
by former commissioner Preston Peine, and
Wettstein initially protested it was too much to
ask from the busy volunteer board.
Its been great to have something like this to
fall back on, she said.
In the two years or so since the plan first was
developed, the city changed Wettsteins role
and added a part-time administrative assistant
who also serves as director of the Chamber
of Commerce. The assistant, Desiree Donovan,
helps keep track of the citys tourism and marketing plans as well, she said.
Some of the highlights of the plan for 2016
through 2018 include:
Taking a fresh look at the citys website and
social media presence.
Creating partnerships with existing boards
and departments, such as fundraising through
the community foundation or reviving the citys
PRIDE Committee.
Target niche tourism activities, such as biking and hiking enthusiasts who use the Prairie
Spirit Rail Trail, motorcycle enthusiasts, patrons
of the arts and theater, and former residents.
Create partnerships with civic and educational organizations, county and state officials.

January is Radon Month More about commmunication: Take a time out!
While giving a program on
radon to a local mens group,
one of the men said, oh brother, whats the government doing
now! When they (government)
get tired of radon there will be
something else they want us
to worry about. Its easy to
be confused about radon. Lets
learn of some Kansas Radon
Action Month resources.
Radon is a colorless, odorless, gas that is caused from
the natural radioactive decay
of radium and uranium found
in the soil beneath a house or
building. The amount of radon
in the soil depends on soil
chemistry, which varies from
one house to the next. Radon
levels in the soil range from a
few hundred to several thousands of pCi/L. The amount
of radon that escapes from the
soil to enter the house depends
on the weather, soil porosity,
soil moisture, and the suction
within the house.
Radon exposure in homes
and other indoor environments
is the leading cause of lung
cancer death for non-smokers
in the United States and the
second overall cause of lung
cancer death behind tobacco
smoking.
The
Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that approximately 1 in 4
homes in Kansas will test at or
above the EPAs radon level of
4.0 picocuries (pCi/L) of radon
per liter of indoor air. The
US Surgeon General and the
Kansas Radon Program recommends all homes in Kansas be
tested for radon gas.
To see a map of Kansas that
shows radon levels by county,
use this web address: http://
www.kansasradonprogram.
org/county-map.
This map
shows Anderson, Franklin, and
Osage counties with average
tests over 4.0 pCi/L.
To test your home for radon,
kits can be purchased at most
Kansas State Research and
Extension county or district
offices for a reduced fee. All
three Frontier District offices
(Garnett, Ottawa, and Lyndon)
have kits for sale. Radon kits
can also be purchased online
via www.sosradon.org at retail
price; local hardware stores
may also carry radon test kits.
Test kits purchased through
the Frontier District offices
include the laboratory analysis
fee and return postage.
EXTENSION NEWS
NANCY SCHUSTER, Frontier Extension District
It is law in Kansas that all
residential real estate contracts
include a recommendation
that home buyers include a
radon test on homes purchased
in Kansas. Kansas law also
requires that all radon testing
performed during real estate
transactions be conducted by
radon measurement professionals certified by the Kansas
Department of Health and
Environment (KDHE). A list
of KDHE certified radon professionals, both measurement
and mitigation, can be obtained
at www.kansasradonprogram.
org.
If your home has elevated
radon levels, the most common
technique used to reduce elevated indoor radon levels in singleand two-family homes is called
Active Soil Depressurization )
ASD). An ASD radon mitigation system is a permanently
installed pipe- and fan system
that places a direct constant
vacuum on the soil beneath the
houses foundation, constantly
reducing the amount of radon
under the foundation that can
penetrate into the living space
of the home.
ASD radon mitigation systems can reliably and easily reduce radon levels in 95
percent of homes or more. In
Kansas, the average starting
radon level of homes that have
been mitigated is approximately 9.5/pCi/L.
The average
post-mitigation radon result is
1.3 pCi/L.
January is radon month.
Winter is an excellent time
to test for radon because our
homes are shut up. Radon
kits are easy to use. Stop by
a Frontier District Extension
office to purchase your radon
kit.
Information in this column
came from the Kansas Radon
Program, you can find lots
more research based radon
information at www.kansasradonprogram.org. Call (800) 6935343 and speak with the Kansas
Radon Program experts.
In my previous article, I
shared information about
how negative communication patterns and interactions
can erode relationships. As
a reminder, communication
danger signs include: putdowns or invalidation; withdrawal or avoidance, negative
interpretation and escalation.
These four danger signs are
common, we all do them. But
when we do them too much
and they become the main
pattern of interaction, they
are likely to slowly poison a
relationship. To keep a relationship healthy, you need five
positives for every one negative. If you dont maintain
more positives than negatives,
your relationship is probably
going down.

So, during those times, instead
of using your angry brain,
take a time out.
The time out skill provides
a way to calm down and bring
you back to your more powerful thinking brain. The time
out skill sounds simple, but
when you are in the heat of

stop. So, here are the rules and
steps for the Time Out Skill.
1. Never say YOU need

out. That will only make someone more defensive. Always
say we or I.
2. Do or say something to
calm yourself down. Take a
walk, take deep breaths, etc.
Replace hot negative thoughts
with soothing ones. Examples:
Shes had a bad day. We both
might be a little wrong here.
Well get through this. This
isnt about me.

FROM PAGE 1A
thinks its good for an administrator to have that kind of background, and is pleased that Saint
Lukes chose McKain, who has
served as Director of Radiology
for Saint Lukes since 2013.
It was a neighbor who first
introduced Hachenberg to the
idea of a career in health care.
Hachenberg grew up in Roeland
Park, Kansas; his neighbor was
a director or respiratory therapy
and suggested the career.
He asked me, How would
you like to be a respiratory therapist? It beats pumping gas,
Hachenberg recalled. That was
back when you could do it with
on-the-job training.
Hachenberg
completed
advanced training in Chicago and
worked in Illinois, where he met
his wife, Sheila. When a colleague
suggested he take the position of
director of respiratory therapy at
Saint Lukes, Hachenberg jumped
at the chance to return to Kansas.
Eventually, he obtained a masters degree in health care administration.
Hachenberg was named Saint
Lukes director of outreach in
1992. He enjoyed his work with
the outreach department, which
allowed him to travel to various
communities and get to know people at other Saint Lukes hospitals.
He was appointed interim administrator at ACH when Johnson
left, and in 1999 took over as CEO.
That was a big year for the
hospital, and not just because of
a change in leadership. That was
the year ACH became a critical access hospital, a national
received by Gayle Metobo.
Show & TellThe following items
were shown: Phyllis Gordon a quilt
she assisted Helen Norman in constructing; Lynda Feuerborn a lap
quilt top; Sharon Rich a KU quilt and a
Christmas quilt; JoAnn Porter a quilt
with many appliqued circles; Marvell
Harris a table runner and 3 table toppers; Marlene Walburn a table runner; Bonnie Deiter a table runner.
Bonnie Deiter adjourned the meeting with a poem from the 1995 minutes.
JOBLESS…
trend that changed the way small
rural hospitals are paid under
Medicare. The new system provides more financial stability for
small, rural hospitals. Kansas was
a leader in early studies of such
hospitals. ACH was not part of
the states initial pilot program,
but was the second hospital in
the state to be classified critical
access after the pilot program.
Also in 1999, the county passed
a $3.8 million bond issue to remodel the hospital. Although that
would become a sticking point in
an ultimately successful 2014 bond
effort to build a new, $26 million
facility, Hachenberg said the two
bond issues show that Anderson
County voters understand the
importance of good health care in
the community.
In a small rural community, the two important factors for
growth are good schools and good
health care, Hachenberg said,
noting that Garnett built new
facilities in both areas in recent
years.
The 1999 bond issue allowed the
hospital to add space and paint
over some rust that helped the
hospital get through the next
decade or so, Hachenberg said. A
majority of voters understood it
would be too costly to try to renovate the 1949-era building, and
that kind of action would only
have served as another Bandaid for about a decade before
more repairs would be needed.
Instead, voters chose to build a
new facility, which was completed
in January 2015. Hachenberg said
he is proud that the final project
came in on time and under budget, and the savings allowed them
to add all the alternate plans,
such as more acute and long term
care beds, as well as a roof over
the MRI trailer.
Its not a coincidence that
Hachenberg is retiring now, just
one year after the new facility was
completed. He actually delayed
his retirement in order to provide
consistency through the construction and transitional period.
I didnt want to leave before
the project was completed, he
said. I postponed my retirement
willingly. I wanted to do that.
During his tenure, there have
been many challenges and successes at ACH, Hachenberg said.
Initially, the hospital struggled
to recruit quality physicians but
now have a full staff of young,
gifted physicians as well as several clinical specialists who regularly see patients. The system
approach through the Saint
Lukes partnership allows ACH
access to staff, equipment and
technology not usually available
in a small, rural community. That
kind of system also allows providers to share information and
avoid duplicating services.
Hachenberg attributes most of
the success of ACH to the staff,
as well as officials and staff from
Saint Lukes, the hospitals boards
of directors and the hospital foundation board that helped usher
through the bond issue and other
projects.
Its always the people, up and
down the line, he said. We have
a very dedicated staff who could
work anywhere in the world,
but they prefer their hometown.
Were very lucky to have them.
Many challenges remain – most
importantly, the issue of Medicaid
expansion in Kansas, which many
state legislators still oppose but
which Hachenberg predicts eventually will be necessary.
Even so, this is absolutely the
most exciting time to be part of
health care, Hachenberg said.
My only regret is that Im aging
out.
Thats because the focus of
health care is becoming more
patient-oriented, with payments
based on the quality of care. The
United States invests more in
health care than other nations,
even as it leaves millions of people out of the system, he said.
As more people seek health care
and the entire population works
to become more healthful, the system will need to change to meet
their needs.
Its going the right direction
for patients, Hachenberg said.
Hospitals gave up a lot to have
an insured population, in working
with the Affordable Care Act.
Hachenbergs plans for retirement include travel. He and his
wife have three children and nine
grandchildren, with one family in
Kansas City and two in Georgia.
The couple enjoys attending music
concerts, and likely will travel to
attend more concerts. Eventually,
they will probably downsize from
their large, beloved historic home
in Garnett, although that will be
the hardest thing.
I will miss getting up every
day and coming to work, but
hopefully now every day will be
Saturday, he said.
Im so very grateful to have
had an opportunity to lead this
hospital in such a welcoming and
supportive community. It really is
a good place to be.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 1-5-2016 / Vickie Moss
Canada geese recently returned for their annual pilgrimage to Crystal Lake, commonly referred to as the South Lake, in Garnett. The geese have stopped at the lake for
several years along their annual migratory path.
Book discussions
Now
return with A
Long Time Gone Available…
3×10.5
The Garnett Public Library
will be starting their book
discussions again after a two
month holiday break. They are
held on the fourth Wednesday
of each month in the Archer
Room at the Garnett Public
Library. This months book is
A Long Time Gone by New
York Times bestselling author
Karen White. The date is
Wednesday, January 27th at 7
p.m. Leading our discussion is
Paulabeth Henderson.
When Vivien Walker left her
home in the Mississippi Delta,
she swore never to go back. I
returned in the spring nearly
nine years to the day after Id
left. Id driven straight through
from Los Angeles, twenty-seven
hours of asphalt and fast food,
my memories like a string guiding me home. Return she does,
fleeing from a broken marriage
and her lost dreams for children.
What she hopes to find is
solace with her dear grandmother who raised her. Instead
she finds that her grandmother
has died and that her estranged
mother is drifting further away
from her memories. Vivien is
forced into the unexpected role
of caretaker, challenging her
personal quest to find the girl
she herself once was. Vivien
knows there is only one way to
rediscover herselfby uncovering the secrets of her family
and breaking the cycle of loss
that has haunted them for generations.
The books are available
for checkout at the library.
Notification is posted in case of
cancellation.

Reverse graffiti Make a New Years resolution for better health
your sales message
You may have seen the new
wave of reverse graffiti art
thats sweeping the grimy sidewalks and alley walls of the
worlds urban centers. Its cool,
clean, and the idea makes for a
great way to sell stuff.
The concept is simple. If
youve ever written wash me
in the dust and grime on the
back windshield of someones
dirty car, you get the drift.
Particularly in urban areas,
artists are using reverse graffiti
to reveal some pretty amazing
visual images, and at the same
time illustrate how we take for
granted just how dirty things
around us are on a day-to-day
basis. Its a neat endeavor, and
it beats the damage done by
traditional graffiti.
The cool part is you can use
this new trend as an eye-catching addition to your marketing
efforts. Basically you make a
stencil with your logo, website
or short sales pitch on it stay
with larger images and minimal
text to make the most impact
and keep your art as clear as
possible and then clean it
into a soiled surface with lots of
nearby foot or motor traffic.
Here are some tips:
1) Lots of art supply shops
can cut stencils, but consider
that youre going to be soaking
this one in mild cleaning solutions like Windex or Formula
409 or in some cases hitting it
with a power washer. An aluminum stencil, cut at a sign
shop or from numerous places
online, will hold up to anything
and yet be light enough to be
easily portable.
2) Keep in mind the range
at which your image can be
seen. A manhole cover looks
big, but even it is only really
visible from a certain distance.
The smaller your image (and
HOW TO SELL STUFF
Dane Hicks
Review Publisher
none should be smaller than a
license plate) the closer your
audience has to be to see it.
3) Smaller stencils can be
cleaned with a sponge or rag
and some mild cleaning solution. For larger art rent or borrow a power washer and get
help from a couple of friends to
stabilize your stencil.
4) Stick to public property
sidewalks, street curbs, streets,
bridges, etc. While no one will
probably have you arrested for
clean stenciling on the back of
their dirty tractor-trailer door
or dirty windows, its still their
private property and might be
irritating.
5) Stick to night time work
traffic will be lighter and you
have less chance of someone
spoiling your fun and washing
away your stencil.
Reverse graffiti alone wont
be the ticket to put you on the
Fortune 500, but its another
creative, interesting, novel
and undamaging way to connect to potential customers. Its
the cleanest way I know to help
you sell stuff!

Uncle Titus?
How many of you can recall
reading this childrens book
entitled Uncle Titus In The
Country? This copy just happens to be one of Kays most
treasured books. It was a
Christmas gift from her grandfather & grandmother Roberts
in 1948.
The exact date that this book
was written is unknown, however what I do know about it
is, it was written by Johanna
Spyri, translated at a later date
by Clement W. Coumbe, illustrated by Frances Brundage
and published in 1926 by The
Saalfield Publishing Company
of Akron, Ohio.
Johanna Louise ne Heusser
was born in the village of Hirzel,
Switzerland on June 12, 1827.
She was tutored at home and
attended school both at home
and in Zurich. She married
Bernhard Spyri, a lawyer, in
1852 and moved to Zurich. She
wrote her very first story A
Leaf On Vronys Grave in 1871.
She wrote numerous stories

for both children and adults,
but her most famous work was
HEIDI, which was published
in 1880. Both her husband and
son died in 1884. She spent her
remaining years writing, raising her niece and doing charity
work. She died on July 7, 1901,
age 74 years.
Johanna was interred in
the family plot at Sihlfeld-A
Cemetery in Zurich. An icon in
Switzerland, her portrait was
placed on a postage stamp in
1951 and on a 20 CHF commemorative coin in 2009.

The Harris man who
attacked and killed dogs in
his kennel operation to keep
them from being seized by state
animal health officials will be
released from the county jail
tomorrow after serving a oneyear sentence. Danny Berrys
attack on the animals brought
national attention to Anderson
County from animal rights
organizations after the incident
was carried on press wire services.
City officials still dont have
any commitments that some
$114,000 in back rent will be
paid by any of the parties now
or previously associated with
Garnett Church Furnishings,
so commissioners held a closed
meeting with legal counsel
Tuesday to discuss possible
legal action to recoup funds.
City officials are getting
tough on skateboarders and
roller-skaters in Garnett who
they say are damaging city
property and being a nuisance
to business owners and customers. A change to a city ordinance enacted at last weeks
Garnett city commission meeting will add Harris Park in
downtown Garnett to the list
of areas where bicycling, skateboarding, roller skating and
even pulling a childs wagon is
illegal.

Upcoming changes in the
structure of the Kansas Army
National Guard may decrease
the number of positions at
the Garnett unit from 73 to 50,
while other units in other parts
of Kansas close or redistribute
themselves among other areas.
The changes are part of the
guards force structure reorganization, a complete organizational face lift that will redistribute the military resources
of the guard throughout the
state according to population
shifts and general military
downsizing.
Ending nearly a decade of
positive returns, 1995 severely squeezed Kansas cow-calf
producers profits. Economist

not stormed, some of the farmers around here would have

ever set his eyes on. The poultry
display was large and good.
We wish you a very happy
and prosperous New Year,
and we hope that all Anderson
County farmers cows will raise
twin calves in 1916, and that the
corn crop will be so large and
abundant that no farmers will
be able to get it all husked in
1916.

Theres still time to enroll in health insurance for 2016
MANHATTAN Enrollment in the
Kansas Health Insurance Marketplace,
which opened Nov. 1, is still available
for those seeking health insurance for
2016. While the last day to enroll in or
change plans for new coverage to start
Jan. 1 has passed for most consumers,
you have until Jan. 15 to enroll in coverage beginning Feb. 1. If you wait to
enroll by the final deadline of Jan. 31,
that coverage will take effect March 1.
An important exception to the
deadline is for those who had been
enrolled in a Coventry health plan,
said Roberta Riportella, Kansas Health
Foundation professor of community
health at Kansas State University.
Because Coventry is no longer offering policies in the marketplace, those
who had Coventry coverage for 2015
must find a new insurer. The deadline
is Dec. 31 for those people to enroll for
coverage to begin Jan. 1.
Any person in this situation needs
to note this when trying to apply after
Dec. 15, Riportella, also a health care
policy expert for K-State Research
and Extension, said. Tell anyone
assisting you about needing to replace
Coventry. Otherwise, coverage would
begin Feb. 1.
Recently, the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS)
reported that 2.8 million consumers
nationally, including more than 34,000
Kansans, had signed up for coverage
in the marketplace before Dec. 15.
This included both new consumers
and those returning to shop for plans
sold on HealthCare.gov.
Riportella said last year, more
than 85,000 Kansans gained insurance
through marketplace plans before the
open enrollment deadline, and she
believes Kansas is on track for having
another positive enrollment year.
Having health insurance is now the
law because of the Affordable Care
Act.
To be clear, every family member, children included, needs to be
insured at least nine months out of
every year, Riportella said. If a person chooses not to buy health insurance and is not exempt from being
insured, he or she is at risk of paying
a fee at tax time. That fee is either per
uninsured person or a percentage of
annual household incomewhichever is higher.
The fee for not having health insurance in 2016 is $695.00 per adult and
$347.50 per child under age 18, up to
a $2,085 maximum. Or, if the second
option is higher, the consumer will
pay 2.5 percent of household income
up to the total yearly premium for
the national average price of a bronze
plan sold through the marketplace.
My No. 1 reason for having health
insurance is to protect my health,
Riportella said. I buy auto insurance
to protect me against paying lots of
money to fix my car, but more importantly, I have it to help pay if anyone
is injured in a crash. Health insurance
is very much like this. One buys it so
assistance is there when needed to pay
future unknown and unpredictable
expenses.
Consumers have many options
when it comes to obtaining health
insurance, and therefore, not having to pay a penalty at tax time. The
marketplace is one option, while
other options could include coverage through an employer, Medicare,
KanCare Kansas Medicaid program,
TRICARE, Veterans Affairs or the
Indian Health Service.
Generally, you can only buy health
insurance coverage during annual
open enrollment periods. If you experience a qualifying life event, such as
losing job coverage, getting married
or having a child, you can change
your health insurance outside of the
open enrollment period in a special
enrollment period.
Riportella said it is difficult to
change coverage if you dont experience a qualifying life event, so its best
to take advantage of the open enrollment period.

insurance information on Riportellas
blog, Issues in Health Reform.
Other information about open
enrollment in Kansas
In addition to releasing how many
Kansans had thus far enrolled in marketplace health insurance coverage,
the HHS also reported:
62 percent of Kansas consumers can find plans for $75 or less per
month in premiums after tax credits.
Nationwide, about 8 out of 10 people
who enroll in health coverage through
HealthCare.gov qualify for financial
help to make their monthly premiums
more affordable.
For 2016 coverage, 58 percent of
returning Kansas HealthCare.gov
consumers could save an average of
$504 annually in premiums before tax
credits for a plan in the same level of
coverage by returning to shop.
Also for 2016, Kansas consumers
can choose from four health insurance
issuers and an average of 26 plans.

During the Christmas
season we watch the movie
Christmas Vacation. Clark
Griswold attempts to pull off
the perfect Christmas for his
family. If you and I were honest each of us has tried the
same thing. I can remember
some very eventful Christmas
Eves. We have an all electric house and I remember a
Christmas Eve when we had
the ham loaf in the oven with
everything else ready to bake
and the electricity went off.
We waited a couple of hours
and then decided we had to
make other arrangements so
off to the pizza hut we went. By
the time the electricity came
on and everything was baked
our family had gone home.
Every one always wants to
have a perfect Christmas.
That first Christmas that
saw the birth of Jesus was
hardly a regal event. Jesus
was born in a stable and laid
in a manger. He was visited
by some shepherds. Initially
his birth was treated with
even less fanfare than most
other births at the time with
one exception. We read in
Luke 2:13-25; Suddenly a
great company of the heavenly host appeared with
the angel, praising God and
saying, Glory to God in the
highest, and on earth peace
to men on whom his favor
rests. This statement pushes
us beyond Christmas. We are
told we cannot find peace in
something but only in someone. We are also told that God
does not just lavish this peace
on everyone. The text states,
on whom his favor rests.
I dont know about you
but there are times when I
have been at war with God. I

have often thought there were
other things that could satisfy me or that I wanted to do
something my way instead of
Gods way. I can testify that
I have never found any lasting peace in possessions or
acclaim or anything else for
that matter. The reason for
this is God created me with
a soul. The soul refers to the
inner life of man, the seat of
his emotions, and the center
of human personality.
In Genesis 2:7, we read.
And the Lord God formed
man of the dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils
the breathe of life; and man
became a living being. This
means more than being given
physical life; the biblical writer declares that man became
a living soul, or a person, a
human being made in Gods
image, distinct from all other
animals. Since we were made
in Gods image we can never
be satisfied apart from him.
Luke tells us, peace to men
on whom his favor rests.
God sent us the Prince of
Peace, we can never find
peace unless we find peace
with God. God seeks a place
in your heart and mine. We
were made for a relationship
with God. At Christmas time
we celebrate the birth of the
Savior. There was no room in
the inn for Jesus. Make sure
there is room in your heart.
