City, school board seats up for spring election
One seat on the city com-
Jan. 22 filing deadline mission and various seats in
each of the local school boards
approaches, but so
will be up for election in the
far no filings in county spring. The general election
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
Anyone interested in running for public office in the
local area will have until noon
Tuesday, Jan. 22, to file for election on the Garnett city commission or local school boards.
will be April 2; if a primary is
needed, the primary election
will be Feb. 26. A primary will
only be needed if more than
four people file for a school
board seat.
City Elections
In the City of Garnett, the
position held by Mayor Greg
Gwin will be up for election.
Gwin has served the position
since 2007. City commissioners receive $450 per month,
the sitting mayor receives $500
monthly.
It remains to be seen if high
interest in a recently vacated
commission post will translate
to high interest in the seat up for
election. Seven people submitted applications to be appointed
to an open city seat when commissioner Dan Morgan moved
to Texas; Gordon Blackie was
picked by the two remaining
commissioners and took office
Dec. 26.
So far, no one has filed for
Gwins seat, city clerk Kristie
Kinney said. However its typical for potential candidates to
wait until closer to the deadline
to file. There is a $5 filing fee,
and anyone who is interested in
filing must be 18 years of age,
a city resident, and file by the
deadline at City Hall,
Snow
Day
Currently, three people
serve on the city commission in
Garnett. Commissioner Preston
Peine last year asked city staff
and his fellow commissioners
to consider expanding the commission from three to five, but
his request was met with mixed
ethusiasm and the matter has
not been discussed for several
months.
In addition to the race in
Garnett, all third class cities in
the county will elect a mayor
and five council members.
That includes Colony, Greeley,
Kincaid and Westphalia.
School Board Races
Three school board seats
each are up for grabs in USD
365, Garnett, and USD 288,
Central Heights. Four seats,
one of them a vacancy, are up
for election in USD 479, Crest.

Meyer remembered
for fun, compassion
Longtime cheerleading
sponsor, volunteer
dies at the age of 91
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT For the cheerleaders especially, Mabel Meyer was
like a second
mom.
She took
care of us,
Diane Doran,
who was a
cheerleader at
Garnett High
School until
Meyer
she
graduated in 1962,
recalled of Meyer. She was a
lot of fun and a good example. She was just that way with
everybody.
Meyer, wife of longtime
Garnett High School coach Ray
Meyer, died Dec. 29, 2012, at the
age of 91. Funeral services were
Saturday in Garnett.
Meyer is remembered by
many as a strong community
supporter who, along with her
husband, were guiding forces
to many youth who attended
school in Garnett. Ray Meyer
taught physical education and
coached in Garnett from 1949 to
1983, and a gymnasium at the
site of the former high school is
named after him. And while her
husband taught and coached,
Mabel Meyer was there working
with teachers and cheerleaders.
She was a longtime cheerleading sponsor.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Students who
attend USD 365 schools will get
a special Christmas present
next year six more days off
school.
School board members in
USD 365 already have approved
a calendar for next year, and
it includes an extended winter
break 17 days in a row without
school, compared to 11 days this
year. Two Wednesday holidays
Christmas and New Years made a big difference in determining how the calendar will
play out.
Students and staff must
attend school a specific number
of hours in order to qualify for
state funding. For the 2013-2014
school year, there are 187 school
days for contracted staff members such as teachers, although
that number could change

was enough to satisfy sledding needs.
District offices, speed zone changes likely ahead for gym
School speed zone to
be removed on Oak,
but kept on Walnut
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Although an official decision has not yet been
made, USD 365 is inching closer
to moving its district offices to
the Ray Meyer Gymnasium.
Board of education members heard a report from
Superintendent Don Blome
Thursday, Jan. 4, about possible improvement projects this
summer. Although all the projects depend on having enough
money available to pay for
them, they included such things
as driveway repairs and a new
heating and cooling system at
Anderson County Jr./Sr. High
School. Blome also mentioned
the possible cost of renovating three classrooms at the Ray
Meyer Gym for conversion to
district offices.
Such remodeling costs
would be minimal, Blome said.
Its likely the district would
need only paint to complete
the move, but its possible they
would need to add a sheetrock
wall in one area, Blome said.
The district presently pays $350
per month for its office rent
at the location in the former
Garnett Church Furnishings
building, now owned by East
Kansas Agri Energy.
In addition to the changes
required to convert the rooms
to district offices, school and
city officials also discussed possible changes to the speed limit
around the Ray Meyer Gym.
The gym previously was part
of the former Garnett High
School/Garnett Elementary
School, but most of the building was demolished last summer after classes moved to the
newly constructed Garnett
Elementary School. The gymnasium and a handful of buildings behind the school, including a maintenance building
and an alternative school, still
remain.
Because it was a school,
roads surrounding the building
were part of a 20-mph school
zone speed limit. City Manager
Joyce Martin said she talked
with Blome, who recommended
the city no longer require a
20-mph zone on Oak Street to
the east of the site. But Blome
recommended the city maintain the 20-mph zone on Walnut
Street, which runs between the
gym and the additional buildings because at least one building the alternative school – still
regularly is used for students.
The district has discussed moving the alternative school to
the site of the former Irving
Primary Center, but officials
are pursuing options to bring a
vocational program to the district and could use some of the
facilities near the Ray Meyer
Gym. If that happens, a school
speed zone still will be needed
on Walnut Street.

TRIBUTE…
FROM PAGE 1A
Mabel Meyer was cheerleading sponsor during the years
Doran attended high school.
Doran remembers having a
lot of fun with Meyer at the
helm, but it was Meyers compassion during difficult times
that stands out the most. On the
way to a game at Yates Center,
Meyers car full of cheerleaders came upon a wreck. Meyer
recognized the car as belonging
to the parents of a player, yet
she handled the situation and
sought help without upsetting
the girls in her car.
She handled it well. She
could just handle about anything, Doran said.
Even as Ray and Mabel Meyer
aged, they continued to stay
active in the community. When
a group formed to support converting an old railroad line to
the recreational Prairie Spirit
Trail, Mabel Meyer stepped up
by baking 30 dozen cookies for
an event to support the trail.
When the Ray Meyer
Gymnasium was dedicated in
2011, the city proclaimed Ray
and Mabel Meyer Day in their
honor.
Ray and Mabel Meyer were
married Jan. 11, 1941, and
moved to Garnett in 1949. Ray
Meyer survives.

Meyer is printed on this page.

slightly depending on negotiations between the district and
teachers.
But its the Christmas and
New Years holidays that will
make the most difference in
determining the calendar for
next year. Since the holidays
each fall on a Wednesday, that
makes it difficult to schedule
school days in the same week,
Superintendent Don Blome told
board members. Because of
that, winter break for students
will begin at the end of the
school day Thursday, Dec. 19,
and classes wont resume until
Monday, Jan. 6, 2014. Teachers
will have in-service days Friday,
Dec. 20, and Friday, Jan. 3.
That translates to 17 days in

It also means students will
have to start school a little earlier in the year to compensate
for the extra time, and still
allow school to end before the
Memorial Day weekend holiday.
The first day of school will
be Thursday, Aug. 15, just two
days earlier than 2012. The last
day of school is expected to be
Thursday, May 22, 2014. Spring
break will be from March 17-21.
This year, the last day
of school is expected to be
Wednesday, May 22, 2013. So
far, the district has used just
one snow day and will not need
to extend the school year. The
district has about three or four
days worth of extra hours builtin to the calendar to avoid having to add make up days to the
end of the school year.

More business closings
point out problems,
beckon for answers
The recently announced closings of
two additional downtown businesses in
Garnett point to a certain disconnect
between some local businesses and their
customers amid
the noticeably
EDITORIAL
growing number
of empty downtown storefronts
as the Great
Recesssion continues.
The disconnect is apparent
in poor communication by some
local businesses,
in the changing markets and
by Dane Hicks,
technology that
PUBLISHER
are morphing our
communities and
in passions that overspent reality.
Garnetts Star Video, for example, fell
heir to the curse of burgeoning online
and satellite movie rental over recent
years, and also more recently to the drop
in downtown traffic occurring since USD
365 built the new Garnett Elementary
School north of town on U.S. Highway
59. That move, while supported by school
board members for numerous other
reasons, closed two in-town schools and
drew several hundred parents cars and
childrens footpaths a day out of downtown during the school year. Reducing
traffic in downtown areas, no matter the
justification, is never healthy for retail
businesses residing there.
The Coffee Loft was an ambitious
gem for downtown but a hard business
model to comprehend from the beginning. The razing and reconstruction
of a vintage-era building with modern
conveniences mid-block in a historic
downtown is almost unheard of in small
towns these days, and its proprietors, if
nothing else, guaranteed that their building will be a legacy for the town and
probably, barring catastrophe, one of its
last buildings standing. But such upfront
costs combined with the low margin of
the retail food business as well as its
location in a rural hamlet should have
spelled out the telltale signs before the
first hammer struck. Its hard destiny
was fulfilled, but the passion of its proprietors has to be acknowledged.
And as these dynamics were playing
out so too was a disconnect of another
kind, illustrated recently when a conversation at a city government meeting
included a profession from the city manager and economic development official
that there was no place in town to find
zippers, and that an effort was underway
to try to identify such missing links and
convince other local businesses to carry
those product lines, so customers didnt
have to go out of town to find them.
The conversation, recounted in The
Reviews story on the meeting, was
much the surprise to owners of Country
Fabrics in downtown Garnett, which
indeed stocks a number of styles, colors
and types of zippers.
But to the defense of the city staff
Country Fabrics rarely if ever advertised its wares to local customers or
otherwise marketed itself. How are
customers, busy with their everyday
lives, supposed to remember a store if
that store cant be bothered to ask for
customers business? So too was this the
case for Star Video, which had no marketing efforts save the traffic from its
location, and for The Coffee Loft, which
opted to concentrate all its marketing
online. To disconnect from customers
by ignoring needed attention to the four
classic academic aspects of marketing:
advertising, promotion, public relations
and personal selling; has been the death
knell of many business startups in our
community.
Our countys remaining businesses
owe it to themselves to reconnect to the
common sense principles of commerce
that have served successful companies
and turned many into household names.
Entrepreneurs willing to take the plunge
should make a studied approach and
take advantage of myriad free resources
out there at the university and government level to aid them in a successful
venture. And our community should be
embracing the challenge represented
by those closed storefronts, recession or
not.
I want to tell the secret Santa that went
into Alco before Christmas and paid off
my lay-away thank you very much. It
meant a lot to my kids. God Bless you.

Gerard Depardieu, tax refugee
BY RICH LOWRY
NATIONAL REVIEW
French actor Gerard Depardieu has
learned how to go from a beloved symbol of a nation to enemy of the state in
one easy step. All it takes is wanting to
keep some meaningful portion of his
income.
Depardieu is a quintessentially
French figure. Appearing in more than
150 films, he has played
Cyrano and Obelix. He
is a Chevalier du Legion
dhonneur. He eats and
drinks — a lot. He rides
a scooter. It would take
a diagram to follow
his romantic entanglements with models and
Lowry
actresses. Its all very
French, except for
the fact that he has earned too much
money.
At least he has according to the
accounting of the Gradgrind socialists
who govern France. Elected earlier this
year, President Francois Hollande has
imposed a 75 percent marginal income
tax on top earners. To this prospect,
Depardieu said, Non, merci. He
announced his intention to move to a
little village over the border in Belgium,
where the government imposes plenty
of taxes but doesnt aim to impose a
punishing tax rate on the wealthy as a
matter of justice.
For his offense, Depardieu has been
denounced from the commanding
heights of the French state. The prime
minister called him pathetic. The budget minister sniffed that his move would
be a boom to Belgian cinema. Hollande
urged ethical behavior on the part of
French taxpayers. They all agree that
its wrong of Depardieu not to stand still
so that the government can drastically
lighten his wallet.
The temporary supertax applies to
incomes of more than 1 million euros
(roughly $1.3 million). It is said to be
no big deal since it hits only about 1,500
people and is set to last for only two
years. But it comes on top of an alreadyonerous tax burden and is shocking in
Depardieu is a quintessentially
French figure. … He announced his
intention to move to a little village
over the border in Belgium, where
the government imposes plenty of
taxes but doesnt aim to impose a
punishing rate on the wealthy as a
matter of justice.
its own right.
The tax is less fiscal policy than confiscatory policy motivated by unabashed
disdain for the wealthy. Hollande is on
the record saying, I dont like the rich.
For a career politician like Hollande, the
natural order of things is that he gets to
live off the government and Depardieu
gets to fund it. Thats the definition of
fairness.
Depardieus critics bash his patriotism. But why is it patriotic to accept
financial chastisement by a government
headed by someone who is avowedly
driven by animus toward you as a member of a targeted class?
Its not as though Depardieu is a
scofflaw. He claims he has paid 145 million euros in taxes during the course of
his career, and paid an 85 percent rate in
2012.
The French constitutional court just
ruled against the supertax on technical grounds. The government promises
to make adjustments and forge ahead.
It can shame Depardieu all it likes,
but that wont stop the flow of other,
less-famous tax exiles. Hollande doesnt
like rich people, and he will duly rule a
country with fewer of them.
Gerard Depardieu wrote the prime
minister to say hes leaving because
you believe that success, creation, talent — difference, in fact — must be punished.
Hes right. May he — dare we say it?
— prosper in his new home.

Review.
Jesus and firearm safety for our kids?
At what point did our Love of Christ
have to get coupled with a love for firearms? Guns are designed to kill. Killing
is counter to Gods law. I resent this
idea from the gun nuts that its God,
guns and country and if you dont like
it, leave it. In our home we love Christ.
We do not love guns.
I was just wondering if someone could
call in with directions to the gun range
on Catalpa. Id like to stop by there and
check it out. Thanks, Phone Forum.

Get ready for Kansas Chamber vs. Kobach
Well, its always fun to hold a couple
guys coats while they fight.
It appears that situation is coming
up for the 2013 Legislature, a fight over
immigration law, or at least the pieces of
immigration law that the state can deal
with. Immigration is basically a federal
issue, of course, and Kansas doesnt have
a border with any foreign nation…unless
you want to count Oklahoma.
The scrap? It is shaping up between
the Kansas Chamber of Commerce and
Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who
doesnt want any accommodation of notlegally-here residents of Kansas. Kobach
has made a nice sideline job out of writing bills for cities and states to deter illegal immigration and expel illegal immigrants.
So, whose coats are we holding? Those
of national conservative political icon
Grover Norquist, chief of Americans for
Tax Reform, and of Kobach, who says
hell wear his American citizen coat, not
his official Kansas Secretary of State
garb, when the immigration issues surface in the upcoming Legislature.
Norquist? His trip to Kansas next week
is sponsored by the Chamber, which with
several other special interest groups is
seeking accommodation for not-legallyhere Kansas workers whom businesses
and agriculture depend on as a source of
labor. We are bringing Mr. Norquist to
Kansas so legislators can hear what real
immigration reform should look like,
by Martin Hawver
KANSAS STATEHOUSE COLUMNIST
said Mike ONeal, now President & CEO
of the Kansas Chamberand outgoing
Speaker of the Kansas House.
So, its a Chamber vs. Kobach scrap
that begins at that legislative breakfast
next week.
Now, at least on the issue of illegal
immigration, we may get to see how conservative the Legislature is on what is
almost a bright-line issue among social
conservatives. The House in recent years
has passed bills (ignored in the moderateled Senate for several years) that would
require employers to prove that their
workers are legal American citizens. And
the House passed a (Senate-ignored) bill
that would require non-legal youngsters
who have completed at least three years
of high school in Kansas to pay out-state
tuition at Kansas universities so many
times we believe that the bill was laminated for better wear.
With the new more conservative
Senate and a House that is probably
a dab more conservative than it was
in the almost-over biennium, whom do
lawmakers listen to? Norquist (and the
Chamber) or Kobach?
Its probably worthwhile to remember that the Chambers political action
committee spent at least 25 times more
supporting conservative Republicans for
the Legislature than did Kobachs Prairie
Fire PAC at the 2012 election cycle.
Its a business issue for the Chamber
which is in the business businessand
its a black-and-white simple constitutional issue for Kobach.
The governor? He tends to be a let
em work guy, but last session he backed
away from the issue because Kobach was
making noise about it. Anyone else recall
a time when a secretary of state could
outweigh a governor on a major issue?
We cant.
So, were going to watch this closely.
There are several anti-illegal immigrant
issues simmering for the upcoming session. Well see whether the Norquist/
Chamber/governor side wins this debate,
or whether Kobach leads lawmakers on
the issue.
Oh, and who gets their coat back…

KanCare: State launches new Medicaid program
TOPEKA – With the Jan. 1
launch of the states new
Medicaid program known as
KanCare, officials with the
State of Kansas announced
the state continues efforts to
ensure Kansans who depend
upon Medicaid and Healthwave
continue to receive all the care
they need and have come to
expect.
We continue to work diligently to improve the coordination and quality of care
for Kansans on Medicaid and
Healthwave. During this transition we are very aware of the
accessibility concerns brought
up by consumers, advocates
and providers, and we will continue to be responsive to those
concerns, Kansas Department
of Health and Environment
(KDHE) Medicaid Services
Director Susan Mosier, M.D.
said.
KanCare is Kansas innovative new system to provide
Medicaid services through an
integrated care model that
achieves measurable goals
and focuses on wellness and
care coordination. In addition
to current program benefits,
KanCare also adds services
such as heart and lung transplants, bariatric surgery and
adult preventive dental care at
no cost to the state.
Dr. Mosier stressed the
states KanCare Continuity
of Care Plan includes a number of protections the three
managed-care organizations
(MCOs) contracted by the state
must meet in order to preserve
KanCare consumers existing
health care services.
The most important fact
KanCare consumers and their
families need to know is that
their medical care and the
services they receive will continue uninterrupted when
KanCare launches on January
1st, Dr. Mosier said. We cannot stress this enough – the
three MCOs must honor all
existing plans of care, prior
authorizations and established
provider/member relationships – even if the established
provider is not in the MCO network.
The KanCare Continuity of
Care Plan also provides:
MCOs must pay Medicaid
fee-for-service rates to established providers through the
first 90 days even if the provider is not in the MCO network.
MCOs must pay Medicaid
fee-for-service rates to residential providers for the first
year for KanCare consumers
currently living in a Medicaidreimbursed residential setting,
such as a nursing facility – even
if the residential provider is
not in the MCO network.
MCOs must pay Medicaid
fee-for-service rates to Home
and Community Based Services
(HCBS) providers up to an
additional 90 days for KanCare
consumers with existing plans
of care if a new plan of care is
not in place within 90 days of
Jan. 1, 2013 – even if the HCBS
providers are not in the MCO
network.
All KanCare consumers have until April 4, 2013, to
switch their MCO to one of
the other two. Any changes
made after Jan. 1, 2013, will
take effect the first day of the
Chamber plans banquet
The Garnett Area Chamber
of Commerce will be holding their Annual Banquet on
Thursday, January 31 at the
Garnett Knights of Columbus
Hall. Monroe Dodd, author of

of Mr. Dodds appearance, the

following month.
MCOs must make sure specialty care is available to all
members. They are required
to meet distance or travel time
standards. If the MCO does not
have a specialist available to
members within those standards, it must allow members
to see out-of-network providers. If the MCO is unable to
provide medically-necessary
services in its network, it must
cover those services out-of-network and must have single-case
arrangements or agreements
with non-network providers
to make sure members have
access to covered services. The
rate will be negotiated between
the plan and the provider.
Providers cannot bill members
for any difference.
MCOs cannot limit emergency services to in-network
hospitals. As required by federal law, the states KanCare
contract requires each MCO to
cover and pay for emergency
services, including services
needed to evaluate or stabilize
an emergency medical conditionregardless of whether
the provider that furnishes the
service has a contract with the
MCO.
For other out-of-network
servicesafter the transition
MCOs will pay out-of-network
providers that choose to serve

BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY – The Crest boys beat
Marmaton Valley Friday night
57-37, but head coach Travis
Hermreck isnt pleased.
We got out to a sizeable
lead in the 2nd quarter and
then we just put everything
on cruise control, Hermreck
said. Im not happy about our
performance. To get where we
want to be we must be able to
maintain focus on a daily basis.
It is simply a matter of mental
toughness.
We did this last year coming out of Christmas break and
it ended up costing us about
five losses. We dont want history to repeat itself.
Marmaton Valley never
gained their footing to make an
offensive run at the Lancers.
Lancer defense held MV to only
3 points in the 2nd quarter.
Lead scorer Kyle Hammond
went on a 2 and 3-pointer shooting spree that ended up earning
him 34 points on the night. The
Lancers were 50 percent from
the free throw line, but they
never really needed the points.
MVs Becker managed to notch
18 points on Crests defense,
but was the only player in double figures.
Brock Ellis had 10 for Crest.
Jesse Boone had 7 points and 4
blocked shots. Jordan Morton
and Landon Stephens had 3

ACHS presents A Night of Shorts;
Student-directed one-act plays
Anderson County High
School Drama Club is proud to
present its annual 2013 StudentDirected One Act Plays featuring five short one-act comedies,
The Two Halves of Andrews
Brain, Bad Auditions by Bad
Actors, Squeak!, Speed
Dating Nightmare, and Blind
Date.
In The Two Halves of
Andrews Brain by Alex
Micelli, the Right half of
Andrews Brain (Heather
Kropf) feels left out of his
(Devin Katzer) life, and with
the help of the Left half (Asa
Young), she tries to convince
the other members of the Brain
to involve her more. A macho
Gland (Wesley Wolken), a really bad vampire book, and an
overactive imagination stand in
the way of this lobes dream.
Bad Auditions by Bad
Actors, by Ian McWethy,
depicts casting director (Payton
Feuerborn) who has one day
to find the leads for a community theater production of
Romeo and Juliet. But what
seems like a simple task proves
impossible when the pool of
actors includes extreme method actors (Asa Young), performers who just dont know what to
do with their hands (Kori Pitts),
and one particular woman who
may or may not think shes a
cat (Vicki Markham).
Squeak!, written by
Aleksas A. Barauskas, focuses
on Adam (Tyler Woodard), a
teenager who is hearing squeaks
in the walls of his room, so
much squeaking, in fact, hes
losing sleep. How can he get
rid of the problem? He consults
with two rats (Bel Sibley, Gwen
Sibley) who advise him to use
everything from a chain saw
to a Barbie doll dressed to look
like a rat, to the ultimate solution, playing Michael Bolton
CDs! But will any of these ideas
really get the rats out, or make
Adams problem worse? Just
what are these squeaks anyway? It doesnt look good, and
time is running out as the lovely
Rachel (Mercedes McLeod) will
be stopping by at any moment!
In Speed Dating Nightmare,
by Scott Haan, the audience
discovers speed dating is a
great way for singles to meet
other people. Each date only
lasts a few minutes, and if it
doesnt work out, you can hope
the next one will be better. For
Cindy (Melissa Kropf), those
minutes feel like an eternity
as she is subjected to a seemingly endless parade of jerks
and losers. First theres Marcus
(Tyler Wolken), whose questions seem more like an interrogation; then Trevor (Kaylen
Peine), whose career motivation extends only to getting the
next new video game. Third is
Scissor (Miranda Woosley), an
artistic man with an inflated
sense of ego, followed by Ernest
(Devin Katzer), a socially awkward guy who thinks sharing
his Tums is a nice gift. Then
theres Dale (Eliza Sibley), loud,
rowdy and more than ready
to move on to the next little
filly. To make matters worse,
Cindy cant help but imagine
what their children would be
like, as, in inset scenes, they all
display the worst qualities of
their fathers. Will Cindy find a

the schools outstanding performance on standardized tests in 2012. The school received several honors, including scoring in

Morgans receive 2012 Extension Appreciation Award
Henry and Mary Morgan
were recognized with the 2012
Extension Appreciation Award
by the Anderson County
Extension Council on November
8, 2012, for their involvement in
local Extension programs.
Henry has regularly attended
Extension informational meetings and participated in educational programs for well over 50
years. Henrys nearly perfect
attendance at the field day for
the East Central Experiment
Field near Ottawa was noted this
August by Keith Janssen who
was Agronomist-in-Charge and/
or stationed at the field for 33
years. Henry explained that producer meetings are a great way
to keep up to date with production practices and research. He
has learned and implemented a
lot of strategies with much success over the years.
Henry laughingly characterized how much production agriculture had changed over the
years and how important it is to
keep up to date by sharing that
Gene Cleavinger, well-respected
Extension Crops Specialist, once
said that It would never pay
to fertilize corn in this part of
Kansas as it was too inconsistent
of a crop.
Henry and Mary Morgan
had 29 years of continuous 4H participation in Anderson
County with their 8 children. In
2006, they were selected by the
Dynamite 4-H Club to be Grand
Marshals for the Anderson
County Fair parade as part
of our local celebration of 100
years of Kansas 4- H. Henrys
4-H involvement began in 1944
when Henry sold his 4-H calf
to purchase two heifers. Henry
was an active 4-H member of
the Brea Boosters 4-H Club of
Richmond. Henrys 4-H leader,
Virginia Cuttingham, made sure
Henry completed his 4-H records
and encouraged him to complete
an essay that won him a trip
to Milwaukees Minnnetonka
Leadership Camp with four
other Kansas 4-Hers in 1948.
When Virginia Cuttingham was
asked to help Juanita and Austin
Moody begin the Dynamite 4-H
Club at Greeley, she brought two
of her older active 4-Hers, one
was Henry, to help organize and
answer questions. Henry went
to Round-Up (Discovery Days)
in 1946 when all delegates were
bused to Rock Springs Ranch
for the first picnic and mortgage burning ceremony for Rock
Springs Ranch.
All eight Morgan children,
Tom, Tim, Peg, Sue, Ann, Jim,
Jan and Dan were members
of the Dynamite 4-H Club and
worked hard in their 4-H livestock projects. Henry and Mary
believed that their children
should do their own work with
4-H projects. Care for their 4-H
livestock provided an opportunity for quality family time every
evening, particularly between
Henry and the kids, which
resulted in family closeness still
obvious today.
Henry laughs about the families experiences while showing
at the American Royal and the
Kansas Junior Livestock Show.
Henry and his kids stayed at the
Royal with their animals for 10
days.
Henry served as a beef project leader for approximately 20
years.
Henry also is a firm believer
in the value of how to run a
meeting with parliamentary procedure and public speaking that
4-H teaches.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 01-08-2013 / Photo Submitted
Henry Morgan accepts the 2012 Extension Appreciation Award from
Anderson County Extension Agent Shannon Blocker.
Mary was not a 4-H member but learned quickly as a 4H Mom. She was a 4-H foods
leader for the Dynamite 4-H
Club and was always with her
children through their various
projects and activities in addition to livestock – fashion revue,
foods, crops, County Club Day,
4-H Camp, etc.
Mary passed away in June
2012.
Henry and Mary owned and
operated H&M Farms, a purebred Angus cattle operation.
Henry also sold Pioneer Seed.
Gene Cleavinger also advised at
an Extension event to pick out a
farming operation and stick with
it. Henry and Mary did just that
and held a total of 40 annual
Angus production sales beginning in 1967. Henry is especially
proud of the Blackcap Empress
genetics involved in his breeding
program. The American Angus
Association recognized them as
a Historic Herd award winner in
1995.
The Dynamite 4-H Club served
the meal at all 40 H&M Angus
production sales. The Morgans
allowed the club to share in their
success, as it was the only fundraiser they needed over all those
years.
Today his children own the
cattle at the farm, but he is still
out every day feeding and taking
care of them.
Henry served many years on
the Anderson County Extension
Council and Executive Board.
He also served on the Anderson
County Fair Board and helped
build the livestock show and
stall barns on the fair grounds.
The Morgans have met friends
throughout the State of Kansas
and the nation through their 4H and Extension involvement.

Library
to discuss
One of
Ours book
The Garnett Public Library
will hold a book discussion on
Wednesday, January 23rd at 2
p.m. One of Ours by Willa
Cather was the title chosen. The
discussion will be led by Jane
Feuerborn. Please take note of
the time change. For the months
of January and February we
will have the discussions in the
afternoon.
One of Ours is a novel by
Willa Cather that won the 1923
Pulitzer Prize. It tells the story
of the life of Claude Wheeler,
a Nebraska native around the
turn of the 20th century. The
son of a successful Midwestern
farmer and an intensely pious
mother, he is guaranteed a comfortable livelihood. Nevertheless,
Wheeler views himself as a victim of his fathers success and
his own inexplicable malaise.
The novel is divided thematically into two parts: the first
half in Nebraska, where Claude
Wheeler struggles to find his
lifes purpose and is left ultimately disappointed; and in
France, where his pursuit of
purpose is vindicated. A romantic unfulfilled by marriage and
an idealist without an ideal to
cling to, Wheeler fulfills his
romantic idealism on the brutal
battlefields of 1918 France.
One of Ours is thus a portrait
of a peculiarly American personality: it is the story of a young
man born after the American
frontier has vanished, yet whose
quintessentially American restlessness seeks redemption on a
frontier far bloodier and more
distant than that which his forefathers had already tamed.
Books are available for checkout at the library. The discussions are typically held the fourth
Wednesday of each month at 7
p.m. in the Archer Room at the
library; however, this January
and February we are trying the
2 p.m. time change. Notification
is posted in case of cancellation.

Old-fashioned punishment Relatives of Greeley city
This week let us take a look
at early day home and church
punishments.
The forms of punishments
that we use today are, on the
whole, far more simple and
humane than those formerly
used. The practice of inflicting corporal punishment has
been discontinued, except in
extreme cases and where individuals inflict punishment on
others outside the law.
In the homes, youthful
offenders were punished by
taking them behind the woodshed or out behind the barn
and applying a vigorous right
hand or a strap, belt, paddle,
switch, stick or other instrument to the individuals backside. Would you believe spankings are still administered in
some homes, but the place of
punishment now is in the basement or bedroom because so
few families have woodsheds or
barns.
Other household punishments consisted of boxing the
ears of the culprit if he or she
was impudent or disobedient,
washing out his or her mouth
with soap and water if they
told a lie or uttered a naughty
word, slapping their face if he
or she made faces at one of

their elders, or sending them to
their room. If the punisher was
female, she sometimes tapped
the head of the errant child
with a thimble. In extreme
cases, a split stick was put on
their ear, tongue or nose and
others were put on a temporary diet of bread or water or
even to go without a meal.
The modern tendency is
to replace these punishments
with persuasive reasoning or
with reprimands.
The early churches had
their own special forms of
punishment, usually for sexual
offenses, drunkenness or dishonesty.
One punishment consisted
of requiring the guilty party
to stand during the service on
a repentance stool, which was
about one foot higher than an
founders coming for visit
ordinary seat, thus placing the
individual in full view of the
congregation.
Church members who were
morally culpable were compelled to appear in church on
the Sabbath wrapped in a white
sheet or wearing a white robe,
sometimes holding a white rod
or staff. In some places, sackcloth was substituted for the
white robe, thus adding the discomfort to humiliation.
Another form of punishment consisted of having a
guilty party stand up and confess their sin before the congregation. Individuals who made
a habit of drinking to excess
were subjected to strong criticism from their wives, their
pastors, and town officials. It
was not uncommon to see a
frequent offender, under great
pressure from friends and relatives, rise up in church and
take the pledge, which meant
voicing a promise to refrain
from alcoholic beverages in the
future. Some persons took the
pledge numerous times before
it stuck or they became discouraged.
There were also early day
personal, school room and official punishments that I will
write about later.

and Aunt Becky Duchense, of
Dayton, Ohio, and St. Louis

The project included replacement of existing water lines in

Southeast Kansas, Inc. annual
meeting, dinner planned
1993: Garnett to get stoplight
Jan. 14, 2003
The Garnett Area Chamber
of Commerce is asking the City
of Garnett for a $5,000 financial
subsidy to cover the revenue
the chamber will lose after a
recent change in the handling
of the local county-wide economic development office. The
chambers board of directors
voted to approach the city for
the money after a review of its
2003 budget and revenue projections showed the organization likely wouldnt be able to
replace the revenue it lost when
the city and Anderson County
Commission voted last fall to
move the countys DEVANCO
development office under city
control.
Friends of Cats and Dogs,
the Garnett-based organization
that worked to find homes for
strays and to spread the word
about neutering and spaying of
animals, went out of business
officially Jan. 1 after its main
supporter said the job was too
big to be handled by volunteers.
Jan. 14, 1993
The City of Garnett paved the
way for a mill levy increase for
the Garnett Public Library in
1994, designed to augment what
has been an overall decline in
the librarys budget over the
past several years. Though no
actual increase was effected,
the commission agreed to pursue a charter resolution which
where relatives are buried, see
the Gerth Cabin, the Museum,
courthouse for records, etc.,
and at 5 p.m., Dorothy will hostess a reception for them.
Seeing the name Duchense,
Dorothy asked if coming from
the St. Louis area where St.
Phillipine Duchense came to
this area from, if possibly this
Duchense family was related
to her. And it is a relative of
Becky Duchenses husband. So,
on Jan. 29, the group plans to
visit the shrine, then at 2 p.m.

Does God hear your and my prayers?
In Psalm 66:16-20 David says,
Come and listen all you who
fear God; let me tell you what
he has done for me. I cried
out to him with my mouth; his
praise was on my tongue. If I
had cherished sin in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened; but God has surely listened and heard my voice in
prayer. Praise be to God, who
has not rejected my prayer or
withheld his love for me!
The verse I want to bring
out of this Psalm is but God
has surely listened and heard
my voice in prayer. David is
confident God has heard his
petition. If you are a believer
there is great comfort in knowing this. I believe God answers
Weekly
Devotional
by David Bilderback
all prayer even if the answer is
no. Sometimes when what we
pray for or about does not happen that is Gods way of saying
no, or not yet.
Such confidence was not
the case for King Saul. In 1st
Samuel 15:26 we read, But
Samuel said to him (Saul), I
will not go back with you. You
have rejected the word of the
Lord, and the Lord has rejected
you as king over Israel.
Samuel was a prophet of the
Lord and the word of the Lord
came to Israel through Samuel.
When Samuel grew old and his
sons did not follow his ways
the people cried out for a king.
The Lord had Samuel anoint
Saul as king and he ruled for 42
years over Israel. Sauls reign
was marked by disobedience to
the word of God.
Near the end of Sauls reign
Samuel died and the Philistine
army assembled against Israel.
Saul had reigned over forty
years by now and had been in
many confrontations yet this
one was different. Samuel had
died and God would not communicate with him and we are
told he (Saul) was afraid.
We ask the question why
would God not communicate
with Saul? The answer is found
in 1st Samuel 13:13-14; In an earlier confrontation Saul had been
disobedient to the word of God
and Samuel said. You (Saul)
have not kept the command the
Lord your God gave you; if you
had, he would have established
you kingdom over Israel for all
time. But now your kingdom
will not endure; the Lord has
sought out a man after his own
heart and appointed him leader
of his people, because you have
not kept the Lords command.
As Saul stood there looking
at the Philistine army that message was no doubt foremost in
his mind. The words Your
kingdom will not endure, are
very descriptive. Because Saul
had been willfully disobedient
to God he had good reason to be
afraid. As we progress through
life we either live with God or
without God. Sometimes it is
kind of easy to think of God
as a type of insurance agent.
When we need him we will call.
The problem with that is we
dont see some things for what
they are just as Saul didnt.
Sooner or later we will find
ourselves in a bad situation and
no one to help. We read that
Saul inquired of the Lord but
the Lord did not answer. If
we take this literally it would
seem that God ignored Sauls
prayer. Saul lived his life with
disregard for Gods commands
and Gods voice grew fainter
and fainter until it ceased.
In 1st Chronicles 9:29 we
read a brief summary of Sauls
life. Saul died because he was
unfaithful to the Lord; he did
not keep the word of the Lord
and even consulted a medium
(fortune teller) for guidance,
and did not inquire of the Lord.
So the Lord put him to death
and turned his kingdom over to
David the son of Jesse.

on the Holiness of God.
Maintaining your New Years Resolution for ideal health Model T Club meets Thursday
Although 58 percent of
American adults have resolved
to make improvements in their
health this New Year, more
than half say they often find
reasons not to exercise, according to an American Heart
Association survey. Excuses
range from too much stress
at work, to having nothing to
wear to the gym, to simple
procrastination.
The
American
Heart
Association suggests an easy
two step approach to staying on
track with your health focused
New Years Resolution: Step
1 assess your current health;
Step 2 use free motivating
tools to achieve your goals.
To help assess your
health, the American Heart
Association
recommends
scheduling yearly check-ups
to increase your odds of catching preventable conditions
early. And what better time is
there to resolve to take control
of your health than the New
Year?
The largest predictors of
heart disease are conditions
that you may not know that
you have, said Cardiologist
Jeffrey Bissing, DO with
Shawnee Mission Medical
Center in Shawnee Mission,
Kansas. High blood pressure
and diabetes often have no
associated symptoms, yet; if
left untreated can have very
significant consequences on
your health and will put you
at a very high risk of a heart
attack and stroke. A routine
health exam could assess these,
start treatment and reduce
your risk substantially.
The
American
Heart
Association has defined ideal
cardiovascular health, identifying seven health factors and
lifestyle behaviors that support heart health. Ideal cardiovascular health for adults
is defined by the presence of
these seven health measures,
known as Lifes Simple 7:
Never smoked or quit more
than one year ago
Body mass index less than
25 kg/m2
Physical activity of at least
150 minutes (moderate) or 75
minutes (vigorous) each week
Four to five of the key components of a healthy diet consistent with current American
Heart Association guideline
recommendations
Total cholesterol of less
than 200 mg/dL
Blood pressure below
120/80 mm Hg
Fasting blood glucose less
than 100 mg/dL
So back to step 1…Assess
your current health by visiting
your doctor and utilizing these
measures so you can set a realistic New Years Resolution.
Take the American Heart
Associations My Life Check,
a short assessment to easily
identify where you fall on the
health spectrum. Visit www.
MyLifeCheck.org to take this
free simple survey. Youll gain
a better understanding on
your healthy priorities, and
be armed with additional tools
that offer specific action steps
to improve the measurements
and track personal progress.
Now onto Step 2…Once you
know your area of weakness
(diet, exercise, lack of sleep,
etc.), put the My Life Check
suggestions into action. The
American Heart Association
offers an online activity tracker, a FREE program that can
get more Americans active
and help them keep their
health and physical activity
resolutions. Nearly half of all
Americans use online tools to
track their health.
Adults spend 164 more
hours per year at work than
we did 20 years ago, and for
many Americans that means
lots of time on computers. The
program allows you to keep
log times and distances traveled, plot and save walking
routes and enter daily meals
and snacks.
Physically active people
reduce their cardiovascular
disease risk by 30 percent. The
American Heart Association
recommends 150 minutes of
moderate intensity physical activity, like brisk walking, each week. Utilize the
Online Activity Tracker at
StartWalkingNow.org.
The East Central Kansas
Ford Model T Club will be hosted by Larry and Margie Tice
January 10, 2013 at their home
located at 634 Elmwood St in
Burlington, KS. Meeting time
will be 6:30 pm. Please bring a
snack to share that will go with
soup.
The club is a not-for-profit
chapter of the Model T Ford
Club of America that enjoys
dicussing, restoring, preversa-
tion and driving the old cars.
You do not need to own a Model
T but have an interest in and
a desire to see the cars maintained for future generations.
The tour season will soon be
upon us and several have been
scheuled and more are in the
planning stages.
If you have any questions
please call Bud Redding at 7332124.

New Year
With the beginning of our

A communitys sustainability depends on its longterm ability to meet residents

Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress; working together is success.

Ellington for the service you

Then and Now
In June 1957 my husband
and I moved to Colony. Colony
had a telephone office located
in the building now occupied
by Halfway House; Colony
Caf next building; a clinic
located at present clinic site,
a lumberyard was to the south
of clinic on Pine (where buildings remain standing); two
filling stations, one at triangle between Pine and Cherry
Streets off Broad Street and
other on South Pine and 7th
Street, (just to south of present fire station; drugstore
located in building now occupied by Rural Water District
No. 5; general merchandise
store (now torn down) to east
of present post office; barbershop located at building
east (also torn down); grocery
store east of that in what now
is occupied by diner and on to
east a mechanics garage. In
west part of town across the
first highway 169 bypass was
a small grocery store at Broad
and Beech Streets. Coming
back across of first highway
169 bypass was the grain elevator on Depot Street to north of
Broad Street; Caf stood where
bank is now located (no bank
in 57) to east of it was the post
office with the Masonic Hall
in the upper story; an insurance office east of it (all three
buildings stood where bank is
presently located); large building east of that which was
unoccupied.
There were four churches,
Christian, United Methodist,
Community and Catholic.
Catholic is no longer here. A
small city office with a small
adjoining garage housed the
citys only fire truck which
stood only yards west of the
present city office (flush with
Cherry Street); funeral home
was a two-story home, lower
floor used for funeral services and upper story resided
by funeral operator and family where present Chapel
stands; Colonys depot stood
on South Depot Street next
to the bygone railroad tracks
on which trains were operated in 1957; the three-story
school building that housed
eight grades and high school
was located where the water
tower now stands, between
Maple and a Oak Streets facing Maple and across street to
the east of that on Oak Street
the schools shop building.
That was Colony 55 years ago.

Cold temps, physical exertion hard on hearts
The
American
Heart
Association says that for most
people, shoveling snow may not
lead to any health problems.
However, the association warns
that the risk of a heart attack
during snow shoveling may
increase for some, stating that
the combination of colder temperatures and physical exertion
increases the workload on the
heart. People who are outdoors
in cold weather should avoid
sudden exertion, like lifting a
heavy shovel full of snow. Even
walking through heavy, wet
snow or snow drifts can strain
a persons heart.
To help make snow removal safer, the American Heart
Association has compiled a list
of practical tips.
Give yourself a break. Take
frequent rest breaks during
shoveling so you dont overstress your heart. Pay attention to how your body feels during those breaks.
Dont eat a heavy meal prior
or soon after shoveling. Eating
a large meal can put an extra
load on your heart.
Use a small shovel or consider a snow thrower. The act
of lifting heavy snow can raise
blood pressure acutely during
the lift. It is safer to lift smaller
amounts more times, than to
lug a few huge shovelfuls of
snow. When possible, simply
push the snow.
Learn the heart attack
warning signs and listen to your
body, but remember this: Even

if youre not sure its a heart
attack, have it checked out (tell
a doctor about your symptoms).
Minutes matter! Fast action can
save lives maybe your own.
Dont wait more than five minutes to call 9-1-1
Dont drink alcoholic beverages before or immediately
after shoveling. Alcohol may
increase a persons sensation of
warmth and may cause them to
underestimate the extra strain
their body is under in the cold.
Consult a doctor. If you
have a medical condition, dont
exercise on a regular basis or
are middle aged or older, meet
with your doctor prior to the
first anticipated snowfall.
Be aware of the dangers
of hypothermia. Heart failure
causes most deaths in hypothermia. To prevent hypothermia,
dress in layers of warm clothing, which traps air between
layers forming a protective
insulation. Wear a hat because
much of your bodys heat can
be lost through your head.
Heart Attack Warning Signs
Some heart attacks are sudden and intense the movie
heart attack, where no one
doubts whats happening. But
most heart attacks start slowly,

with mild pain or discomfort.
Often people affected arent
sure whats wrong and wait too
long before getting help. Here
are signs that can mean a heart
attack is happening:
Chest discomfort. Most
heart attacks involve discomfort
in the center of the chest that
lasts more than a few minutes,
or that goes away and comes
back. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain.
Discomfort in other areas
of the upper body. Symptoms
can include pain or discomfort
in one or both arms, the back,
neck, jaw or stomach.
Shortness of breath with or
without chest discomfort.
Other signs may include
breaking out in a cold sweat,
nausea or lightheadedness
As with men, womens most
common heart attack symptom
is chest pain or discomfort. But
women are somewhat more
likely than men to experience
some of the other common
symptoms, particularly shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, and back or jaw pain.
Calling 9-1-1 is almost always
the fastest way to get lifesaving
treatment. Emergency medical

services (EMS) staff can begin
treatment when they arrive
up to an hour sooner than if
someone gets to the hospital by
car. EMS staff is also trained
to revive someone whose heart
has stopped. Patients with chest
pain who arrive by ambulance
usually receive faster treatment
at the hospital, too. It is best to
call EMS for rapid transport
to the emergency room. If you
cant access EMS, have someone drive you to the hospital
right away. If youre the one
having symptoms, dont drive
yourself, unless you have absolutely no other option.
