County wants to
clean up properties
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Anderson County
Commissioners are looking into
the countys zoning laws to see
how they can force the owners
of a burned-out former restaurant to clean up the property.
County commissioners said
they will seek input from the
county zoning director and
county attorney to see what
steps are needed to force property owners to clean up the
state highway-side eyesore in
Welda. The former business,
which at one time was a diner
and steakhouse, was destroyed
by fire in early February. The
building consisted of two structures and a shed, and was sold
to Welda resident Robert Staadt
about two years ago. It had been
used most recently for storage.
One of the buildings was a
1950s metal-frame diner that

previous owners moved from
Thayer to Welda. The metal
shell of that diner and burned
remains of the other structure have created an eyesore,
Anderson County Commission
Chairman Eugene Highberger
said.
He also mentioned pursuing
action to clean up a property
near Lone Elm, where a house
was destroyed by arson several
years ago. The owner was conSEE PROPERTIES ON PAGE 3A

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT In a choice
between two extremes on
whether to allow guns in public
buildings or install expensive
security measures, Garnett City
Commissioners said theyll take
Option C.
Option C means theyll take
a temporary pass on a new
state law that requires all public buildings to allow people
to carry concealed weapons,
or install safety measures like
metal detectors and security
guards at entrances. Cities
and counties can request an
exemption of six months while
they decide how to handle the
new law. Garnett officials and
Anderson County leaders have
said they will take advantage of
the exemption. County leaders
planned to buy themselves time
in the hopes that lawmakers
would reconsider the new law.
City commissioners took
that hope one step further.
They asked City Manager Joyce
Martin to draft a letter to lawmakers, stating their concern
about the law and asking them
to reconsider. All three of the
citys commissioners said they
support concealed carry laws,

Heavy metal band headed to contest
Band hopes Metal
Wars will lead them
to next level
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – A heavy metal
band with local roots hopes an
upcoming gig in a Kansas City
band contest will help solidify
them as a regional force in
their genre and lead eventually
to bigger and better things.
Ashes of Tyranny is slated to
take the stage July 5 in the wild
card round of Metal Wars at
The Voodoo Lounge in Kansas
City. The tournament-style
contest offers a grand prize of
an opening performance for a
major act at Cricket Wireless
Amphitheater, among other
prizes. Tickets for the show are
still available.
The band features Jamison
Brummel on lead vocals and
rhythm guitar, Josh Wight on
drums, David Miller on bass
and Adam Caylor at lead guitar.
(The band) originally started as the Jamie and Adam show
when we were in high school,
Brummel said. We were a
two piece with me playing guitar and singing and Adam on
drums. In college we morphed
into Running Riot. Adam
played bass until we picked up
David Miller. Adam switched
to the guitar. For drums Chris
Belknap was filling the role
for awhile and then Ian Rocker
stepped in.
The band took a hiatus
from the mid 2000s and reassembled in 2012 with a series
of drummers culminating in
Wight. They have the standard
challenges trying to promote
a band while pursuing families and making ends meet as
well. Caylor has twin toddlers
and works as a tech consultant
for Unified School District 365.
Brummel is a screen printer at

walk will allow students to walk
home on Cleveland Street.
A proposal signed by seven
people who live on Cleveland
asked school board members
to reconsider their plan. The
group submitted an alternate
plan that would take the exit
back out to K-31 instead of
Cleveland Street.
But board members already
considered and rejected that
alternate route, board president
Dwight Nelson said.
The board did not discuss
the Cleveland Street groups
request, and approved their preferred plan without discussion.
Nelson said the school board
had considered numerous
routes, but found stumbling
blocks with each possible exit.
Originally, board members
hoped to take the exit south out
of the parking lot as had been
discussed when the facility
was built in 1990, but residents
were unwilling to sell land that
would allow them to do so. The
board could have seized the
land through eminent domain,
but that process likely would
take too much time and money.
Another alternate route, more
or less the same plan proposed
by the Cleveland Street residents, was rejected because of
problems with gas line easements and state rules that limit
access along highways.
Weve reviewed all options
available. Based on budgetary
constraints, this was the option
we could proceed with, Nelson
said.
Glenn Duvall, who lives on
Cleveland Street and has been
a spokesman for the opposition
group, said he and other resi-

dents are not trying to impede
progress. He pointed out that
people who live along Cleveland
Street have put up with problems like vandalism for years by
students who walk to Cleveland
Street either to meet a ride or
walk home, The new exit will
only increase the problems,
while possibly decreasing property values, he said. He pointed
to Kansas statutes and cases on
eminent domain that say private property that is damaged
for public use should be compensated.
The issue is the school
board is not following Kansas
law when property is taken or
damaged, Duvall said.
Duvall said he and other residents had not yet talked about
what additional steps could
be taken in light of the school
boards decision to pursue the
exit. He said he had consulted
legal counsel, and could pursue
some type of lawsuit to seek
compensation for damages
caused by the exit.

but they were concerned that
the new law could present a
dangerous scenario at public
buildings where tempers can
sometimes flare over things like
speeding tickets or high utility
bills.
Our options are to secure
the building, put in metal detectors and armed guards, or let
everybody bring a gun in,
Commissioner Preston Peine
said. I dont see how thats an
either/or thing. So we have
to pick an extreme.
But Commissioner Gordon
Blackie took a more reserved
approach. He said the law would
allow concealed carry, but only
people who have passed a background check and have obtained
a permit to carry a concealed
weapon could legally bring in a
weapon.
This buys us time, but it
doesnt really change anything,
Blackie said.
City Attorney Terry Solander
said the new law would remove
liability from the city if someone came into a public building
and shot someone. He anticipated the law would continue to
evolve as more government entities implemented the changes it
requires.
The newly adopted state regulation went into effect July 1
and requires city, county and
state buildings to remove bans
on concealed handguns unless
metal detectors or security
guards are put in place for safety. Public officials who want to
install security measures will
have four years to carry out the
plan.
As of Monday, all state buildings were opened to allow concealed weapons.

Secretary of States efforts
show extreme efforts to
support illegal immigration
Kansas Secretary of State Kris
Kobach may not have much luck
pursuing legal recourse against
the gang of thugs from the proillegal immigrant Sunflower
Community Action organization
who mobbed his home in Kansas
City, Ks., a few weeks ago, but
the incident has illustrated very
clearly the caliber of characEDITORIAL
ter which runs
through some
proponents of
illegal immigration in the
U.S. and what
means they will
sink to in order
to see their
goals accomplished.
That realby Dane Hicks,
ization should
PUBLISHER
strengthen the
resolve of politicians and the lawabiding public in standing against
Sunflower and others who pursue
the de-criminalization of illegal immigration and unfettered
amnesty for illegals already in
this country.
Kobach has been a leader in
efforts to craft tougher legislation
to thwart illegal immigration and
to restrict state governments from
enveloping illegals with bona fide
status and tax-funded public benefits. Those off-the-clock efforts
have nothing to do with his work
as Kansas Secretary of State with
the exception of pursuing laws
that require photo IDs for those
choosing to vote in state elections
(a law which should have been in
place decades ago). But the mob
from Sunflower seemed to view
Kobachs elected position as a
license to trample onto his property, invade his familys privacy
and leave trash at his doorstep.
The Kobachs, including their two
young children, were not home at
the time of the incident, but that
happenstance is little comfort for
other public officials and even
private individuals who may be
forced to endure such Ku Klux
Klan-style thuggery in the future.
Sunflower clearly hoped they
could goad Kobach into some
form of confrontation in front of
video cameras which could then
be used against him and anti-illegal immigrant efforts nationwide.
It is worth noting the treatment
of the incident in the mainstream
media, and to ponder how differently it would have been covered
had a gang of Tea Party protestors showed up at Nancy Pelosi
or Chris Matthews homes. Also
noteworthy is the morphing of
terminology used by the mainstream media in defining the
debate. Watch and listen how
often news commentators use the
term anti-immigrant to define
Kobach and others on his side of
the debate. The slickness of the
subliminal term has not gone
unnoticed: that specifically, what
they are is anti-[italic] illegal
[end italic] immigrant. But the
other term helps to make legitimate immigrants who followed
the law and paid their dues stand
against conservatives who support them and support the law.
Hopefully the Kobach incident
will motivate conservatives and
others who insist on legal immigration standards to redouble
their political efforts to oppose
the likes of Sunflower and those
who support them.

cedar tree there also. Thanks.
People are leaving this town and putting their houses up for sale because

Race preferences rumble on
BY RICH LOWRY
NATIONAL REVIEW
The entrenched regime of racial preferences in American academia is a fit subject
for study by the nations top psychiatrists.
Its never OK to discriminate on the basis
of race in American life, except when it is.
Schools lionize the 1964
Civil Rights Act in their
classrooms, and then violate it in their admissions
offices.
This system is bad for
the moral fiber of academic institutions, bad
for the ideal of race blindness in America, and bad,
Lowry
the latest research suggests, for the minorities supposedly benefiting. It is good only for salving the guilty,
race-obsessed consciences of university
administrators and appeasing the PC gods
and the usual interest groups.
The Supreme Court decided to let the
dinosaur keep roaming the Earth, although
it tightened up the standards in its 7-1 ruling. The court said that racial discrimination is permissible in fostering educational
diversity, but schools have to prove that
such discrimination is narrowly tailored.
In the majority opinion, Justice Anthony
Kennedy wrote, Strict scrutiny does not
permit a court to accept a schools assertion that its admissions process uses race
in a permissible way without closely examining how the process works in practice.
No, it will require a careful judicial inquiry.
In other words, if you are wondering if a
given school meets the Supreme Courtapproved standard, theres an easy way to
find out — sue and spend years trying to
find out. The answer, by the way, will probably change the next time the Supreme
Court deigns to hear the issue.
In the real world, there is little doubt that
racial preferences are a failure.
Large racial preferences backfire
against many and, perhaps, most recipients, Richard Sander and Stuart Taylor
Jr. write in their book Mismatch, to the
point that they learn less and are likely to
be less self-confident than had they gone
to less competitive but still quite good
schools. They note that even though
blacks are more likely to enter college
than are whites with similar backgrounds,
they will usually get much lower grades,
rank toward the bottom of the class, and
far more often drop out.
When racial preferences were ended in
California by referendum in 1996, disaster was supposed to ensue. The New York
Times reports that enrollment of blacks and
Hispanics in the University of California
system dipped slightly from 4 percent and
15 percent; now the numbers are 4 percent
and 25 percent. The state university has
begun to reach down into middle schools
to find promising students — minority and
nonminority alike — and work to ensure
that they are better prepared. This is affirmative action worthy of the name, based
on improving students rather than checking a box.
It has begun to dawn on liberals that
preferences are a clumsy and ineffectual
social tool. In a New York Times column
titled The Liberals Against Affirmative
Action, David Leonhardt notes research
showing that preferences dont really help
the poor. In effect, he writes, poor and
middle-income students are rejected, while
others with the same scores and grades
— legacies, athletes and minorities, often
from privileged backgrounds — are admitted.
Still, racial preferences rumble on,
immune to logic or law.

Review.
Transparency? Not in new
judge selection process
Its getting more interesting, this governorall-by-himself selection of nominees to the
Kansas Court of Appeals.
Its the new law Gov. Sam Brownback
pushed for and autographed this spring that
eliminated on July 1 the role of the Kansas
Supreme Court Nominating Commission in
the winnowing of applicants for a seat on the
states second-highest judicial body.
The commission? Nine members, mostly
lawyers (thats objectionable to some, but
do you want that cranky Dancing with the
Stars judge involved?) who interview and sift
through qualifications or experience or height
or fashion sense or whatever of applicants and
select three nominees to forward to the governor for his/her choice.
The commission still vets Supreme Court
opening applicants, just not Court of Appeals
applicants under the new lawthe Appeals
Court change only took a bill; a Supreme Court
change would need a constitutional amendment. Brownback would like that, too.
Oh, yes, and those lawyers who under the old
law applied for court jobs were publicly named,
so anyone who cared knew who they were.
Of course, we all learned who didnt make it
through the sieve that is the nominating commission. Not sure whether in lawyers newsletters they got asterisks next to their name to
denote how many times they were rejected, or
whether there was a tattoo involved.
And, theres this hazy memory that some of
us have, of the cheerleader turning us down for
a prom date. Want that in the newspaper?
But, the now-gone system was transparent.
Transparency has become a big deal recently. It essentially means that everyone should
be able to know anything about everything.
Sounds a little like democracy but it isnt a
perfect rhyme.
Brownback? Hes not interested in releasing
the names of everyone who asks him for the
job, whether by formal letter or maybe the guy
in front of him at the supermarket checkout.
The governor figures that under the new
law, it really doesnt matter whether his choice
has been vetted by people who actually know
what an Appeals Court judge does because
whoever he chooses has to be confirmed by the
by Martin Hawver
KANSAS STATEHOUSE COLUMNIST
Kansas Senate. It will get one name, his favorite, and then we see whether the conservative
Republican-controlled Senate agrees with its
conservative Republican governor.
Were going to see how this works probably
later this month, when Brownback names his
appointment to a new Kansas Court of Appeals
seatthe 14th seat, so were figuring that one
appointment isnt going to shift the balance of
the court.
But it might give us a chance to see whether
this process works well, and whether most
Kansans, who probably arent familiar with
what an Appeals Court judge does anyway,
have an objection.
Transparent? Probably not until the Senate
starts looking through Brownbacks nominees
Facebook page and Twitter postings, or maybe
just driving by to see how he/she keeps up
his/her yard. And we wont know whom the
$99,636-a-year governor turned down for the
$131,518-a-year job on the court.
Transparency? Not as good as the previous
system, but the Supreme Court Nominating
Commission never transparently released the
weight of candidates for Appeals Court judgeships, did it?
Yes, its getting more interesting…

Just received the quarterly Town
Talk and in there there was a survey
about how to build a better community here in Garnett and I must say
those questions were not meant for
a town the size of Garnett. Theres
no way Garnett could even comply
to any of them, so theyd have to be
rated poorly. And on the question
about what I wanted to buy lately but
couldnt buy in Garnett, well the list
could go on and on, but what about
a good set of dress clothes and dress
shoes? Whoever drafted this thing up
must have been living in a big city
because they didnt apply to Garnett.
A lot of this is due to our poor management downtown. Anyway thats
my opinion. Thank you.
Yes, about the city survey that was in
the city newsletter this week, I think
if we want to make a better town in a
true sense we should be asking different questions. First of all a lot of the
questions seemed to have nothing to
do with life and Garnett. They seemed
like they are maybe designed to get the
answer the questioner wants to get.
That leads me to my point because I
believe Garnett is lacking much leadership. All the leadership comes from
City Hall and although the city does
a lot of programs and I think does a
lot of things right there are people
at City Hall who seem to be on every
board and in charge of everything
and I think that keeps other people
from joining in who might want to be
involved. I also would like to see our
school district provide more leadership for our town. The teachers and
the administrators are some of the
best educated people in our community, some of the most creative people
and they are the most in touch with
the youth and young ideas and I think
they are mostly forgotten in our community. Thank you.
Sure enjoyed the guitar concert downtown Saturday night. Great weather,
great music. A nice evening. Thank
you.

it if youd stay out of my yard. You

to coming to Garnett, because
of that nice Alco store. The

Kansas ends fiscal year
with $86.6 million more
than projected
TOPEKA Kansas revenue
receipts ended fiscal year 2013
on a high note Friday, beating
estimates by $86.6 million.
The revenue figures also
reflect the states revenue picture six month after income tax
rates were cut for every working Kansan on Jan. 1. While
most people only think of taxes
in mid-April when they file
returns, peoples pay checks
this year have benefited from
those reduced withholding and
individual income tax rates.
Revenue receipts also beat
monthly projections by $25.1
million, or 4.6 percent, overall and revenue receipts were
$159.6 million more than had
been collected during the prior
fiscal year.
We are heading into fiscal year 2014 on firm financial
footing and Im pleased to see
that Kansas economy continues to improve, said Revenue
Secretary Nick Jordan.

to buy lean or extra lean beef,
drain off the excess fat after
cooking and avoid making huge

bake on a cookie sheet for 40
minutes at 375 degrees.

Senator Caryn Tyson (R-Parker)
worked with Representative
Marty Read, Kevin, Jones, Ed
Bideau, and others legislators
to increase the ROZ (Rural

The ROZ was established to
encourage people to move to
rural counties in Kansas. In
2011, 50 counties in Kansas
became the Rural Opportunity
Zone (ROZ), where certain outof-state taxpayers who relocate
to these counties may qualify
for a limited state income tax
exemption. This year the legislature increased the number of
rural counties to 73.
A taxpayer must meet certain
qualifications to be eligible for
the credit. The taxpayer must
establish residency in a rural
opportunity zone prior to Jan.
1, 2016 and must have lived outside Kansas for five or more
years prior to moving in a ROZ

Quick Stop.
The Garnett Public Library
will hold a book discussion on
Wednesday, July 24th at 7 p.m.
The Aviators Wife by Melanie
Benjamin will be discussed. The
discussion will be led by Jane
Feuerborn.
Anne Morrow, the shy daughter of the U.S. ambassador to
Mexico, has stood in the shadows of those around her, including her millionaire father and
vibrant older sister, who often
steal the spotlight. Then Anne, a
college senior with hidden literary aspirations, travels to Mexico
City to spend Christmas with her
family. There she meets Colonel
Charles Lindbergh, fresh off his
celebrated 1927 solo flight across
the Atlantic. Enthralled by
Charless assurance and fame,
Anne is certain the celebrated
aviator has scarcely noticed her.
But she is wrong.
Charles sees in Anne a kindred spirit, a fellow adventurer,
and her world will be changed
forever. The two marry in a
headline-making wedding. In
the years that follow, despite
her own major achievements she becomes the first licensed
female glider pilot in the United
States -Anne is viewed merely
as the aviators wife. The fairytale life she once longed for will
bring her heartbreak and hardships, ultimately pushing her to
reconcile her need for love and
her desire for independence, and
to embrace, at last, lifes infinite
possibilities for change and happiness.
The books are available for
checkout at the library. The
discussions are held the fourth
Wednesday of each month at 7
p.m. in the Archer Room at the
library. Notification is posted in
case of cancellation.

Archaeological adventure continues
Back to my archaeological adventure. Saturday, June
1, after the morning orientation class, we left for our first
visit to the field, arriving at
10:15 a.m. Nancy Arendt, our
crew leader from Colby, gave
us a short field briefing. Our
metal detector operating crew
varied from six to eight each
day plus our crew leader and
her assistant, Chris Hord from
Lees Summit, Mo., plus our
ever faithful recorder, Julie
Stepnick from Wichita.
The six main detector operators were: Kent Burch, Alma;
Dan Rowlinson, Auburn; Cleve
Mulder, Salina; Mo Floyd,
Haysville; Chris Hord, Lees
Summit, Mo.; and yours truly
from Garnett.
Our first assignment was to
conduct a metal detector survey over a small triangle of
ground directly above the dugouts to be excavated. Lots and
lots of metal targets were located and flagged. Lunch break,
noon to 1 p.m. After lunch, we
got busy and dug all the targets
we had flagged. Horse/mule
shoe nails, square nails of all
sizes (hand-wrought and manufactured), bulls-eye tin cans
with lots of solder, lead, iron
fork, bullets and cartridges of
Spencer, Sage and Henry rifles.

The ditches and almost
every pasture are covered with
yuccas in full bloom. Jack rabbits are certainly alive and
well in this part of Kansas, as
I counted six as I journeyed
along. 8-8:15 field briefing. We
spent the morning on target
recovery with a 10-10:15 break.
Artifacts found: Nails, cans,

County a certificate of recognition declaring Anderson
County a StormReady
county.
Nearly 90% of all presidentially declared disasters
are weather related, leading to around 500 deaths
per year and nearly $1.4
billion in damage. To help
Americans guard against
the ravages of severe
weather, NOAAs National
Weather Service (NWS)
designed the StormReady
program. StormReady helps
arm Americas communities with the communication
and safety skills they need to
save lives and protect property.
Many laws and regulations exist to help local
emergency managers deal
with hazardous material
spills, search and rescue
operations, medical crises,
etc., but there are few guidelines dealing with the specifics of hazardous weather
response. The NWS recognized this need and designed
StormReady to help communities of all kinds towns, cities, counties, Tribal Nations,
universities , and industrial
complexes implement procedures to reduce the poten-
tial for disastrous weatherrelated consequences.
To be recognized as
StormReady, communities
must meet guidelines established by the NWS in partnership with federal, state,
and local emergency management professionals
The StormReady program
encourages communities to
take a proactive approach to
improving local hazardous
weather operations. The
program is a win situation
for everyone involved: community leaders; the NWS;
emergency managers; and,
the general public.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, July 2, 2013
How do you understand
the message of Jesus?
In Mark 4:21-25 Jesus gives
an illustration of a lamp on a
stand. He, Jesus said to them.
Do you bring in a lamp to
put it under a bowl or a bed?
Instead dont you put it on its
stand? For whatever is hidden
is meant to be disclosed, and
whatever is concealed is meant
to be brought out into the open.
If anyone has ears to hear, let
him hear.
Consider carefully what you
hear he continued. With the
measure you use, it will be measured to you- and even more.
Whoever has will be given more,
whoever does not have, even
what he has will be taken from
him.
Jesus is saying here that the
kingdom of God has come and
is like a light to be shared. It
is meant to be disclosed, meant
to be brought out into the open.
During Jesus public ministry he
was very open with his teaching. His teaching was also very
critical of the Jewish religious
leaders as he tried to return
the people to a worship of God
rather than religious ceremony
and rules. That is why he used
the phrase, If anyone has ears
to hear, let him hear.
There were those who could
not understand this message.
They had committed their lives
to a keeping of the Law which
by teaching of the religious
leaders would result in their
attaining heaven.
Jesus now brings a very narrow teaching that is based only
on faith in him. Jesus goes on to

gospel has gone far and wide
and today goes farther than
ever before. Certainly everyone has seen enough light to
know Jesus was the God-man,
not just a good man or a prophet
or a teacher. That is not the
problem today. The problem is

The first summer Story Hour
was held June 18. Dream Big:
Read is the theme for the summer. The first lessons theme
was Just Dig It. Lola Webber
was in charge. She had a coloring page and word search for
each child to do while waiting
for the rest of the children to
arrive. Lola read two books
titled Diary of a Worm and
A Green, Green Garden. At
craft time, the kids drew a face
on a styrofoam cup, adding soil
in it and planted some grass
seed. When the grass grows,
it will become the hair for the
face.
Charlene Tinsley prepared
the snack, vegetables, dip and
juice. Ten children were in
attendance. Charlotte Wallace,
Debbie Wools, Makayla Jones
and Cassie Bowen helped.
The next story hour is June
