two-year drought on Anderson

year that began in July 2012 and
ended in June 2013. The report
shows how much sales tax was
collected from local businesses
and sent back to the counties
and cities to be spent as part of
their budgets, particularly on
capital outlay projects that are
earmarked for sales tax collections like the Anderson County
jail or street repairs in Garnett.
Anderson Countys sales
tax rate is 1.5 percent, which
means for every dollar spent in
Anderson County, another oneand-a-half cents is collected and
returned to the county. The City

GARNETT A newspaper publisher in Garnett is continuing
to press county officials for the
name of someone who sent illegal election propaganda related
to a spring bond issue on whether to build a new hospital.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Now that a
group of teenagers built a
wheelchair ramp at her
house, Diana Bowen has a
list of places she wants to
visit. At the top of the list is
church.
Bowen has been homebound for most of the past
year. She has COPD, a chronic lung disease that makes it
difficult to breathe. She has
a motorized wheelchair, but
without a wheelchair ramp
it is difficult to get the wheelchair in and out of her home.
She has only left the house
once since Thanksgiving.
Last week, a group of
teenagers and adult volunteers built a wheelchair
ramp at Bowens house. It
was one of about 60 projects
completed by the volunteers
over the course of one week,
as part of Group Workcamps
home repair mission trip.
The Colorado-based mission
program brought about 350
teenagers and another 60 to
80 adult volunteers and camp
staff members from 10 states
to Garnett last week to paint
houses and buildings and
construct some projects like
wheelchair ramps and porches. The project was named the
Garnett Area Paint Project,
or GAPP, and was sponsored
by the Garnett Ministerial
Alliance, local governments
and businesses.
Bowen and her husband,
Chris, were among a few
dozen Anderson County residents who benefited from the
work. Diana Bowen said her
brother, Howard Williams,
learned about GAPP at his
church and suggested she
apply.
I told myself if God lets
me have it (the wheelchair
ramp), thats wonderful,

ANDERSON COUNTY BOARD OF
COMMISSIONER JULY 8
Chairman Eugene Highberger called
the meeting of the Anderson County
Board of Commissioners to order at 9:00
a.m. on July 8 at the County Commission
Room. Attendance: Eugene Highberger,
Present: James K. Johnson, Present:
Jerry Howarter, Present. The pledge
of allegiance was recited. Minutes of
the previous meeting were read and
approved.
Road and Bridge
Lester Welsh, Road Supervisor, and
Dan Hardin, Engineer, met with the commission. Dan explained how the state
receives money for off system bridge
repair. Since the state does not have any
off system bridges the money is filtered
down to the counties to apply for. He has
looked at the bridges in the county and
feels the Morgan Bridge would be the
best choice to submit for replacement.
Commissioner Johnson moved to apply
for the funding for the Morgan Bridge
with the county share to be approximately $180,000 out of special bridge.
Commissioner Howarter seconded.
Approved 3-0. Lester talked to the commission about the training they had on
the lay down machine. The material was
too thick and had to be thinned down.
The crew had to continually manually
adjust the machinery for dips in the road.
There is an electronic eye that is available which would automatically adjust
the machine. Commissioner Johnson
moved to purchase an electronic eye
from Mauldin at an approximate cost
of $10,000. Commissioner Howarter
seconded. Approved 3-0. He is looking at trading in a trailer to a tilt trailer
that would make loading the lay down
machine easier. He would like to look
at a tilt trailer to see if it would work for
other machinery as well. Commission
approved.
Zoning
Jay Velvick, Zoning Director, met
with the commission. Commissioner
Howarter moved to appoint Ike Mader
to the Anderson County Zoning Board.
Commissioner Johnson seconded.
Approved 3-0.
Discussion was held on the property
by Lone Elm. Jay will proceed with sending the owner a letter to clean it up.
County Counselor
James Campbell, County Counselor,
met with the commission. Commissioner
Johnson moved to sign a letter of engagement with George K. Baum as underwriter for the hospital bond. Commissioner
Howarter seconded. Approved 3-0.
Commissioner Johnson moved to recess
into executive session for 10 minutes for
the discussion of attorney client privilege
with County Counselor James Campbell
in attendance. Open meeting to resume
at 10:10. Commissioner Howarter seconded. Approved 3-0. No action after
executive session. Commissioner
Johnson moved to approve the 2014
ambulance contract. Commissioner
Howarter seconded. Approved 3-0.
Health Insurance
Stephen Euston and Phil Drescher,
Bukaty Co., met with the commission on
the county health insurance. Aetna presented a 39% increase. They presented
other options for consideration. They
will be working with the clerks office to
set up enrollment interviews with the
employees to get rates from other companies.
GAPP
Scott Rogers met with the commission to inform them of the events that are
happening with the painting project.
Sheriff/Dispatch
Sheriff Valentine, along with two
employees from TFM Comm., and Dawn
Moody, Head Dispatcher, met with the
commission concerning a new console
system for dispatch. Commissioner
Howarter moved to accept the bid
from TFM Comm. for updating the dispatch consoles at a cost of $83,327.00
out of the Equipment Reserve Fund.
Commissioner Johnson seconded.
Approved 3-0. Dawn informed the commission they are in need of replacing
at least three of the dispatch chairs.

Landfill
Scott Garrett, Landfill Supervisor, and
Vernon Yoder, Noxious Weed Director,
met with the commission. Scott stated it
was his understanding that thistles that
are brought in are dumped on the floor.
Scott stated that anything put on the
floor there is a minimum $4.00 charge.
Vernon stated he had received calls that
if they had to pay for disposing of the
plants they would dump them in the road
ditch. Vernon would like to see them go
to Allen County and be buried. It was
discussed that possibly in the past they
were taken free of charge and put on a
compost pile. This was stopped due to
the possibility of the seeds spreading.
Now that they are putting them on the
floor they are taken to Allen County and
we have to pay to have them disposed
of. Discussion was held on some people
are pulling the whole plant and some
are just cutting the head. Commission
agreed that at this time policy for charging will remain as is.
Courthouse Lawn Use
Commission approved the use of the
courthouse lawn and bathrooms on July
11th by the Chamber of
Commerce from 5:30-7:30 and August
3rd from 5:00-9:00 by the Garnett
Cruisers.

ELECTION…
FROM PAGE 1A
regarding a postcard mailed
by opponents of the bond issue
which did not include a paid
for by… line to attribute who
funded it, as required by state
election laws.
Jones told commissioners
his probe required a search
warrant of a smaller printing
company, and led to a person
who admitted to the mailing but
claimed not to have known the
action was illegal and said a
third person actually provided
the funds. Jones told commissioners he would not pursue
charges against the individual
because no criminal intent was
involved.
Hicks, in his letter to commissioners requesting the legal
action, said Jones action conflicted with the spirit of state
election laws which demand
openness and accountability in
political campaigns, Hicks said
whether or not charges were
filed the individual should still
be forced to file a state-required
contributors report with
the Anderson County Clerks
Office, and that his/her name
should be public.
Its hard to understand
the justification for a county
attorney out-and-out allowing
election laws to be violated,
Hicks said. What message does
this send to others in the future
who may want to violate these
laws?
Hicks suggested to county
commissioners that they investigate having their own legal
counsel file suit against Jones
to produce the name, so that the
county election officer could
instigate action against this
individual to ensure the proper
forms eventually got filed.
Commissioners were expected to discuss the Reviews
request at Mondays county
commission meeting.
LIBRARY…
FROM PAGE 1A
information about the theft is
asked to call the library at (785)
448-3388, or the Garnett Police
Department at (785) 448-1641.
Librarian Andrea Sobba said
the librarys insurance eventually would cover the cost of the
DVDs, but staff will accept DVD
donations to allow patrons to
continue to check out movies.
The library will not accept Rrated movies, and cannot return
the DVDs. If a donated DVD
cannot be used in the collection, it will be offered for sale or
given to another library, Sobba
said via Facebook.

9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day last
week. Some projects were finished early, while some left
and others in the community
stopped to thank them for the
work.
Scott Rogers, one of the local
organizers who helped bring
Group Workcamps to Anderson
County, said previously he
hoped the project would provide an economic boost to
the county. He estimated the
labor value would equal about
$130,800. Organizers collected
about $20,000 in donations to
purchase supplies and materials that were bought from local
businesses. Rogers said other
local businesses likely received
a boost from the 400 or so people who stopped in for food, fuel
and supplies last week. He also
was optimistic that homeowners would be motivated to continue the home improvement
work started by the group, and
that it would create a sort of
ripple effect of good feelings
and good works throughout the
community.
Now that the work is complete
and the campers have returned
to their homes, organizers will
review the project. Organizers
said if the project was successful, they may try to bring it
back in a few years.
Rogers said he heard many
compliments about the community from the campers, volunteers and staff. GAPP organizers have some projects that will
need to be finished, but overall
the event went well, he said.
It was just an awesome
week. Everything really came
together, Rogers said.
the county as a whole by the
end of June 2012, showing that
businesses reported more activity than the previous year.
But the bubble burst in the
last half of 2012 and the first
half of 2013, with Garnetts
sales tax collections for the
fiscal year falling 4.7 percent.
Anderson County as a whole
fared somewhat better, collecting 4.3 percent more in sales tax
than in 2012.
The total amount of sales tax
collected in Anderson County
by the end of the 2013 fiscal
year was $560,207.39, up from
$537,089.35 in 2012. The City of
Garnett collected $114,536.08 in
2013, down from $120,199.60.
Much of the loss of sales tax
in Garnett could be attributed
to the drought, particularly
because of the shutdown of the
East Kansas Agri-Energy plant
in October. The plant was the
citys best utility customer, purchasing a significant amount of
water for its production process.
The City of Garnett showed
sales tax increases through the
first half of 2012, and sales tax
collections began to drop slightly in July. The drop in sales
tax collections became more
pronounced by the fall of 2012,
and have continued to decrease
since then.
The two-year drought ended
earlier this year, thanks to a
series of spring and early summer rain showers and storms.
But the drought was particularly devastating last summer,
especially for agriculture-related businesses. Last years corn
crop was virtually destroyed,
and the soybean crop fared only
slightly better for farmers. The
ethanol plant scaled down production before shuttering its
doors Oct. 1; the plant is scheduled to reopen soon.
Not every city collects
an additional sales tax. In
Anderson County, Kincaid also
collects a 1 percent sales tax,
which brought in $2,158.92 in
2013, down from $2,579.89 in
2012.
Richmond, in southern
Franklin County, collects
a quarter-cent sales tax. It
brought $16,849.25 in 2013, up
more than 13 percent from
2012s collections of $14,817.94.

of Garnett has a half-cent sales
tax that is collected in addition
to the county sales tax. The
State of Kansas also collects
sales tax of 6.3 percent.
The reports can be a good
indicator of economic activity,
because they show if businesses bring in more or fewer retail
sales year after year. Locally,
the largest collector of sales
tax typically is new and used
car dealerships, because they
collect sales tax on large purchases like cars and trucks.
Anderson County and
Garnett had a good year in 2012.
Sales tax collections were up
by 2.6 percent for the City of
Garnett and by 7.2 percent for

KC leaders should be
wary of Detroits downfall
With the burgeoning crime and
murder rate in Kansas City, the citys
leadership should be paying close heed
to Detroit as an example of what not to
become.
With the advent of video surveillance cameras Kansas Citys problem with crime
becomes more

rampant thuggery
after midnight, the question begs: Just
how mean is Kansas City going to get?
The message should be simple: Stem
the scourge of crime that assails the
streets of Kansas City; develop ways
to include suburban areas into the culture and life of Kansas City to keep it
vibrant, or risk the population decline
and property devaluation that has
destroyed Detroit.
News last week that Detroit had
filed bankruptcy to save it from some
$18 billion in debtors was no particular
surprise to those close to the city who
have watched it decline steadily for
telling reasons for the past 50 years.
Detroit sprang to life with incredible
growth in the auto business in the first
half of the last century, only to begin
a steady decline in population since
1950 that saw population dwindle from
1.8 million in the city in 1950 to around
700,000 today.
The city became the case study
among sociologists for white flight
after racial tensions exploded into the
1967 riots that killed 43 people and
started decades of exodus of Detroit
whites, who took their money, sales
taxed purchases and assets to the
suburbs. Twenty disastrous years of
mayorship by left-leaning union organizer Coleman Young seeded graft and
incompetence in Detroits City Hall,
ignoring issues in the critical decades
of the 70s and 80s when Detroit had a
fighting chance to right its own ship.
Graft and criminality continued with
mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, who is due to
be sentenced.
Last year, predominately black
murders killed 411 Detroit citizens who
were themselves mostly black, with an
estimated 65-70 percent of homicides
in the city narcotics-related. The city
has been renown for years as one of the
most dangerous in the country, with
resurrection attempts like the reorganization of its police department coming
decades too late.
Like Detroit, Kansas City has a political reluctance to discuss the aspects
of race as it relates to crime and its
impact on growth and sustenance in
the city. Invasions of criminal element
have destroyed million dollar retail
properties like Indian Springs Mall and
Banaster Mall, and now problems assail
the citys metropolitan crown jewel of
J.C. Nichols Plaza.
Kansas City should read the future
in the smoke of what is left of Detroit.

Wendy Davis, abortion extremist
BY RICH LOWRY
NATIONAL REVIEW
Wendy Davis is the countrys most
prominent defender of late-term abortions. What Rosa Parks was to desegregation, what Eunice Kennedy Shriver
was to respect for the
disabled, what Elizabeth
Cady Stanton was to
womens suffrage, the
Texas state senator is to
abortion after 20 weeks
of fetal development.
Texas just passed a
law banning abortion
Lowry
after that point, a measure supported by the
public and by common sense, but not by
the stalwart Davis. For her trouble, she
has been accorded fawning media coverage and showered with $1 million in
donations, showing that abortion radicalism sells in America — so long as it is
pro-abortion radicalism.
A ban after 20 weeks, near the end
of the second trimester, represents a
minor restriction on abortion by any
reasonable standard. Many European
countries, which we tend to consider
laxer on such matters, ban abortion well
before 20 weeks. In Belgium and France,
abortion is banned after 12 weeks.
Davis likes to say that less than 1
percent of abortions in Texas take place
the 20th week or later, without realizing
how that damns her own case. By her
own admission, she is not even willing
to give up 1 percent of abortions.
The 20-week benchmark isnt arbitrary. By then, the latest research suggests that fetuses feel pain, respected
University of Utah expert Maureen
Condic recently testified before
Congress. It is her view that fetuses
deserve the benefit of the doubt regarding their experience of pain and protection from cruelty under the law.
The public basically believes the
same thing. In Texas, a University of
Texas/Texas Tribune poll found 62
percent of people support the ban.
Nationwide, even a recent HuffPost/
YouGov poll found that 59 percent support a ban after 20 weeks.
There is nothing outlandish or -assuming its supporters dont make
suicidally stupid rhetorical mistakes -politically risky about the Texas law. It
includes an exception for the health of
the mother and for extreme fetal abnormality.
Wendy Davis always couches her
position, of course, in terms of reproductive health. In the very same
breath, though, she opposes a provision
of the Texas law requiring that abortion
clinics meet the same standards as outpatient surgical centers. Since abortion
involves outpatient surgery, this would
seem an uncontroversial measure, especially given that Democrats favor the
strict regulation of practically every
other business and activity in America.
The provision is drawn from the recommendations of the Gosnell grand-jury
report that wanted tighter controls to
prevent the kind of butchery that it
had investigated from happening again.
The requirements, like wider hallways,
arent frivolous. One of Kermit Gosnells
patients bled to death because his
clinic couldnt properly accommodate a
hospital gurney. Whistle-blowers from
an abortion clinic in Houston have told
horror stories reminiscent of Gosnells
unspeakable practices.
If the balance of the Democratic
Party werent invested in protecting
abortion as a kind of secular sacrament
— sacred ground, as Nancy Pelosi calls
it — it would recoil from Wendy Davis in
embarrassment. Instead, it lionizes her.
And why not? She exemplifies its moral
and political bankruptcy on this issue.

Review.
City employee Bob Mills did a great
job of building and installing this
walking bridge between Parkside
Place and the Rails to Trails last
year. But like everything it needs
some maintenance, and the paint
is coming off the lumber. I know
the city has a problem with maintenance. This was mentioned to the
city manger back in February. We
can put up with that being closed
for a day because it took them seven
months to get it installed.
You know I found it quite ironic
when I read in the paper that we
had to bring in young people from
Colorado to come in and help us
clean up our city and county and
we got all these kids here in high
school and allowing them to walk
up and down the streets with golf
clubs breaking windows out of cars.
Now just why didnt Mr. Rogers
organize that with our young kids?
Our young kids should be out there
helping our Greatest Generation,
they built this town. Help them rake
leaves, do yard work, what have you.
Why do we have to go to Colorado to
get help?
Id like to say something about the
Farmers Market wanting tourism
money. They dont deserve that.
What do they got a whole four
booths maybe five on a good day.
They can advertise til hell freezes
over, theyre not going to get any
more business than what they got.
And two, they need to do something
about the gas station across the
street from the hospital. They are
parking in the alley. I had to park
clear down my alley because the idiots parking right in the middle of it.
They got the air machine there and
theyre blocking the alley for that
too. I wish the city would do something about that. Thank you.
We need to get a president of the
school board that will listen to the
people, the parents, the workers at
the school, and get rid of some of
these principals that are allowing
all this bulliness to go on. Thank
you.
States view on gun laws trickles down
We have a few months before the
single biggest trickle-down law in recent
memory hits Kansans.
You know trickle-down. Its when the
Legislature passes and the governor signs
into law a bill that will have negligible
effect on how the state does business, but
requires local units of government and
schools to take action.
The trickle-down now is that state
government has decided that any of the
thousands of Kansans who have concealed-carry licenses can pack their
guns wherever they go in the stateinto
county courthouses, city halls, libraries, rural water district and township
buildingsjust about any building built
with taxpayer dollars. That means that
those local units of government, which
probably in the past month have downloaded and printed an official state noguns poster, have until the end of the
year to decide whether they are going to
allow guns in their buildings or provide
enough security that they can reasonably
assure the public that nobody but law
enforcement will have guns in the building.
The thought behind the new law:
People who will abide by no-guns signs
arent safe if theres no checking to make
sure everyone abides by the sign, because
the bad guys likely wont. If a building
has enough security to keep guns out,
then fine. If not, then licensed concealedcarriers should be allowed to have their
by Martin Hawver
KANSAS STATEHOUSE COLUMNIST
protection with them.
The trickle-down to local units of government: Can they afford to pay for this?
Most local governing bodies are going
to have to do the math to figure out
whether they can afford to make sure
that gun-carriers are flagged at the front
door and told to take their guns back to
their cars, or just let them in.
Do city halls install those metal detectors in the hallway and staff them with
police to make sure that nobody in the
building has a gun? Or, will the agency
pat-down visitors, so that those who dont
carry guns can be sure they are in a gunfree building?
Now, be sure, that most days, it wont
really matter. Those people who carry
concealed guns arent going to cause a
problem when they go in to pay their
water or trash bills or license their dogs.
But what happens when, say, the
city council is considering allowing a
Walmart to be built in the town square or
consider a stop sign that parents believe
is important to their children who walk
to school? Or when the local property
tax mill levy has to go up in order to pay
police or gravel the county road?
Do people feel strongly enough about
those issues that maybe, just maybe, they
ought to attend the council meeting barehanded?
At the Statehouse its a simple matter of deciding whether in the building,
which has security officers and walkthrough metal detectors, a concealedcarry prohibition can be reasonably
enforced.
Its not like that at the local library or
city hall or most county courthouses.
Thats where the new state philosophy that concealed-carry is a right, not
a privilege, trickles down to local units,
which will have to decide how much, or
whether, to spend money on the ability to
ban guns from public buildings.
Thats trickle-down. Gonna be interesting to see how those county commissions, libraries and small units of government respond.

More items recovered on trip
Its 8:00 a.m. Saturday, June
8, 2013, and Im in the field
getting ready for the morning brief. This morning we
are all working on recovery
of yesterdays targets. Noon,
lunch break. A cool 66 degrees,
cloudy, with a few sprinkles
(near Colby, quarter-sized hail
was being reported).
We continued recovery until
3 p.m. Approximately 3:30 p.m.,
a bad storm was approaching
so we gathered up equipment
and headed for shelter at Hays
(wind, heavy rain and small
hail). I saw my second rattlesnake on the road. A metal
detector partner from several
years ago arrived this evening. We had supper together
at McDonalds and at 7:30 p.m.
we attended an excellent talk
entitled Buffalo Hunters.
9:45 p.m., bedtime and still very

site of the old look-out stage
station which was attacked,
burned to the ground and three
men murdered. We spent the
morning detecting. My, oh my,
the targets we flagged. After
our hour for lunch, we began
the recovery. Really heating
up, 98 degrees. Recovery items
were once again, a variety
of fired and unfired bullets,
shell casings, buttons, harness
parts, broken cast iron, and
a little hand-blown medicine
bottle was found during recovery of a metal target. My friend
Wayne Donohue and I went to
McDonalds for supper. From
7:30-9:30 p.m., we were given a
tour of the Sternberg Museum.
Truly wonderful. I called Kay
before retiring for the day.
Monday, June 10, 2013: Up at
5:50 a.m., another cool, beautiful morning. After breakfast,
we are to meet at Look-out
Station at 8 a.m. for brief. This
morning we conducted a metal
detector survey and recovery of targets. At 11:45 a.m.
we drove to a new site called
Louisa springs. There is a
nice little picnic area near the
spring, so we all gathered there
for lunch together. After lunch,
we metal detected two fields.
Very few artifacts.
Three Henry bullets were
the main recoveries. I did manage to scare up a big buck and
doe. Very hot, 107 degrees at 5
p.m. I ate at McDonalds before
touring Old Fort Hays. After
the tour, several of us gathered
in the Weist Hall lounge and
visited until bedtime.
Tuesday, June 11, 2013: Woke
up at 5:55 a.m. to a very warm,
stuffy morning. Today we are
going to the Big Creek stage
station on the Smoky Hill Trail
and Butterfield Stage route. We
met there at 8:00 for our 8:15
field brief. Began metal detector surveys at 8:30 and recovery
at 1 p.m. We took several extra
breaks because of the heat. 105
degrees. We did recover several
Civil War Army items, stage
parts, wagon parts, etc.

AN OPEN LETTER TO AREA RESIDENTS AND
OTHERS WHO SHARE OUR
SUPPORT FOR EAST KANSAS AGRI-ENERGY
Dear East Kansas Agri-Energy Supporters:
The Discovery Channel teaches us how big cats
pursue herds of gazelles. Wisely, they take down the
slow-footed and frail rather than wasting valuable
energy chasing the leaders. The more eet-footed
gazelles set a swift pace and understand acceptable
losses as the law of the jungle.
In the jungle that is the ethanol production industry,
climatic and economic cats have had the same impact,
idling a small minority of poorly managed ethanol
plants whose management failed to demonstrate vision
and decisiveness.
Sadly, East Kansas Agri-Energy has been among the
frail in recent years. Foresight and alertness by East
Kansas management could have prevented layoffs of
skilled, earnest employees and dissatisfaction among
members who invested trust, not just money, in the
company.
A key question lingers: Why is management allowing
East Kansas to be among the frail in the herd?
As a state-of-the-art production plant sits idle in
Garnett, laid-off employees and members of East
Kansas need and deserve answers to that question.
But waiting and waiting for answers doesnt get the
Garnett plant up and running again. And status quo
which is what current management wants to preserve
wont restore East Kansas as a thriving ethanol
industry leader.
Concerned Shareholders of East Kansas many of us
local residents have progressive plans to revive the
plant. An important rst step is to make signicant
leadership changes at the top, adding board members
with the expertise and contemporary thinking to lead
East Kansas through todays market challenges.
Some of the small fraction of ethanol plants idled in
recent years are rebounding. And not just in Corn Belt
states. Even plants in Texas, California, Georgia and
New York are bouncing back. Leaders at those
companies have focused on fresh risk management
strategies and board policies.
Why should East Kansas be left behind the rest of
the herd?
Plants that remain out of the market, like the Garnett
plant, are sending troubling signals to suppliers, buyers,
lenders and potential new hires alike about the
companys viability. If East Kansas doesnt act now,
its future is at risk.
If youre an East Kansas member or if you know
East Kansas members, please add support for the
plans being proposed by the Concerned
Shareholders of East Kansas at a special meeting in
Lawrence on August 7, 2013. Revival of the Garnett
plant and soon will be a win for everyone.
Sincerely,
Scott Brittenham and the Concerned
Shareholders of East Kansas

Lawnmower Demo
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 07-23-2013 / Vickie Moss
A group of youth competitors took to the mud pit for one class at the Anderson County Fairs Lawnmower Demolition Derby Saturday, July 20, at the fairgrounds
arena. Storms just before the event made for an especially muddy pit, but put a damper on attendance.
Moss attends space camp Amos pronounces
HUTCHINSON – Conner Moss
of Garnett, son of Vickie Moss,
graduated from the Camp
KAOS Mars Academy program June 30th at the Kansas
Cosmosphere and Space Center.
Conner will be in entering 6th
grade at Greeley Elementary
School this fall.
Mars Academy is a threeday overnight camp for students entering sixth and seventh grades. Developed by
Cosmosphere staff, the Mars
Academy program engages
students in the challenges of
exploring the planet Mars,
while emphasizing teamwork
and problem solving in a fastpaced, science, technology,
engineering, and math-based
learning environment. As part
of the program, Mars Academy
campers learn the geology, climate and environmental conditions that exist on the Red
Planet. Campers launch rockets, guide a programmed robot
around an obstacle course
and create a custom-designed
mission patch. Campers also
tour the Cosmospheres Hall
of Space Museum and experience educational presentations
in the Cosmospheres Justice
Planetarium, Dr. Goddards
Lab, and the Carey Digital
Dome Theater. The camp culminates with a simulated robotic mission requiring each team
member to assume a critical
role for mission success.
Moss
The Cosmosphere offers camp
programs for students as young
as those entering second grade,
and on through high school.
Camps are available for adults,
including the Intergenerational
Camp Experience for adults
and their children or grandchildren. Additional camp
experiences are offered for
groups, and schools can custom-design curriculum based
on state education standards.
The Cosmosphere also has
programs designed specifically
for Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts,
Webelos and the American
Heritage Girls.
The Cosmospheres Camp
KAOS program features five
progressive levels for students entering seventh grade.
Campers begin with Space 101
and 201, which are held at the
Cosmosphere and visit other
nearby facilities. They move on
to Space 301, which includes a
trip to Johnson Space Center in
Houston, Texas, for a behindthe-scenes tour of NASAs
astronaut training facilities.
Those who progress to Space
401 travel to Kennedy Space
Center in Florida, where campers experience NASA launch
facilities. The most advanced
campers in Space 501 focus on
emerging space technology
facilities in California.
The Smithsonian-affiliated
Cosmosphere houses the largest collection of U.S. space artifacts outside the Smithsonians
National Air and Space
Museum in Washington, DC.
It also houses the largest collection of Russian space artifacts outside of Moscow. The
Carey Digital Dome Theater
proudly supports education.
The Cosmospheres education
department provides field trips,
assemblies, and the internationally acclaimed Camp KAOS
summer space adventures,
which utilize STEM principles
to inspire explorers of all ages
and build leadership and teamwork skills. Information about
Camp KAOS can be found at
www.cosmospherecamps.org.

Nomination period for FSA County
Committee positions ends Aug. 1
Agriculture Secretary Tom
Vilsack recently issued an
announcement emphasizing to
the farm community that the
nomination period for local
FSA county committees ends
on Thursday, August 1, 2013.
I encourage all eligible farmers and ranchers to participate
in this years county committee
elections by nominating candidates by the August 1 deadline,
said Vilsack. County committees are a vital link between the
farm community and the U.S.
Department of Agriculture and
provide an opportunity to farmers and ranchers for their opinions and ideas to be heard. We
have been seeing an increase
in the number of nominations
of women and minority candidates and I hope that trend
continues.
To be eligible to serve on an
FSA county committee, a person must participate or cooperate in a program administered
by FSA, be eligible to vote in a
county committee election and
reside in the local administrative area in which the person is
a candidate.
Farmers and ranchers may
nominate themselves or others,
and organizations representing minorities and women also
may nominate candidates. To
become a candidate, an eligible
individual must sign the nomination form, FSA-669A. The
form and other information
about FSA county committee
elections are available online
at www.fsa.usda.gov/elections.
Nomination forms for the 2013
election must be postmarked
or received in the local USDA
Service Center by close of business on Aug. 1, 2013.
The Local Administrative
Area in Anderson County hosting this years election is LAA1
which includes the townships
of Reeder, Putnam, Jackson,
Monroe and Walker.
An informational meeting
will be held at 9:30 A.M. at the
Anderson County FSA Office at
111 N. Maple about the upcoming election. Any questions
concerning USDA/FSA program participation will also be
addressed.
FSA county committees
make decisions on disaster and
conservation programs, emergency programs, commodity
price support loan programs
and other agricultural issues.
Members serve three-year
terms. Nationwide, there are
about 7,800 farmers and ranchers serving on FSA county committees..
FSA will mail ballots to eligible voters beginning Nov. 4.
The voted ballots are due back
to the local county office either
via mail or in person by Dec. 2.
Newly elected committee members and alternates take office
on Jan. 1, 2014.
judgment on Israel
In chapter 7 of the book
of Amos the prophet pronounces judgment on Israel.
Amos was one of the shepherds of Tekoa, a desert
region which was five miles
south of Bethlehem in Judah.
Amos although he was from
the southern kingdom performed most of his ministry
in the northern kingdom.
Amos ministered during the
reigns of Uzziah in Judah
and Jeroboam the II in Israel.
This was a time of affluence,
luxury and moral laxity in
the northern kingdom.
The people had become
affluent because Samaria
had become a trade stop-off
for caravans and these new
found riches created a desire
for more. The businessmen
had become impatient with
the limitations placed on
them by the Sabbath restrictions. The rich had become
oppressive and corrupt, the
courts were unjust and the
religious services consisted
only of idolatry. It was into
this atmosphere that the
prophet Amos was commissioned to go north to Samaria
and warn of judgment.
In chapter 7 Amos sees the
Lord standing by a wall that
had been built true to plumb
with a plum line in his hand.
The Lord told Amos he was
setting a plumb line among
his people Israel and would
spare them no longer. Amos
then takes this message to
the northern kingdom. The
message was the Lord would
rise up against the house of
Jeroboam with the sword.
Weekly
Devotional
by David Bilderback
Amaziah the priest of Bethel
accused Amos of being a traitor and not having the peoples best interest at heart.
The northern kingdom was
enjoying great prosperity and
the last thing they wanted to
hear was this lifestyle was
wrong. The fact that the poor
were being oppressed and
corruption had invaded business showed that their concern was for the sanctuary
of their earthly king not the
sanctuary of the great king
the Lord.
Amos answers Amaziahs
charge. I was no prophet,
nor a prophets son, but I was
a herdsman and a dresser
of sycamore figs. But the
Lord took me from following
the flock, and the Lord said
to me. Go prophesy to my
people Israel. Now therefore
hear the word of the Lord.
Amos prophecy points to
Israel being taken away from
their land into exile. In 722 B.
C. Shalmaneser the Assyrian
besieged Samaria and after
three brutal years the northern kingdom came to an end.

Ministry on the Holiness of
God.

The Lake Garnett Cruisers will bring a Rolling Can-U-Cruise Night to
Garnett on Aug. 3. Pictured above is last years car show.
Rolling Cruise Night brings
back good ol Saturday night
GARNETT, KS: Remember the
good ole days on Saturday
nights in Garnett, Kansas,
when everyone came to town
to socialize, shop and maybe
just watch the cars go by?
The Lake Garnett Cruisers
invite you to Garnetts town
square on Saturday night,
August 3rd, for a Rolling CanU-Cruise Night. This is the
communitys opportunity to
recreate the good ole days.
Bring the family, your favorite
vehicle and join the Cruisers
on the square. The car club
has invited all classic and custom cars and motorcycles in
the general area to the town
square from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Local favorite deejay Everett
Cox will be playing tunes in the
courthouse bandstand, and free
special entertainment will be
provided by the band, The Tone
Benders, in the Donna Harris
Park.
Unlike other cruise nights or
car shows where the vehicles sit
in a static display, the vehicles
will be encouraged to circle
the square and cruise Garnett
so that the public can enjoy the
sights and sounds.
Those bringing classic or custom vehicles to the square will
receive free Cruise Night dash
plaques and are eligible to win
door prizes. Both participants
and the public are welcome to
be a part of the frozen t-shirt
contest for their chance to win
a cash prize.
The Can-U-Cruise part of
the event offers both the public and participants to bring
canned goods and non-perishable items to the cruise night
registration table to be given to
the local food pantry. This is
the third such Can-U-Cruise
event the Lake Garnett Cruisers
have coordinated to benefit local
families in need.
The car club encourages the
local retailers to be open, restaurants to promote their specials, and the public to venture
out on Saturday night, August
3rd to support this effort to
bring back some nostalgic fun
to the center of town. Bring
your lawn chairs, if you wish.
Please note: The cruise night
will not be a formal, organized
event. There will be no barricading or designating of specific parking areas for cruise
night participants or the public.
Just like the good ole days,
everyone is encouraged to come
together and respect each others property. If this event is
well received, similar future
events may follow.
