Debt limits thwart new hospital effort
ACH will have to find
another avenue in
quest for new hospital
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A public vote for a
new Anderson County Hospital
project is still up in the air,
after county officials found out
Monday the projects estimated
$20-plus million price tag would
exceed the countys general
obligation debt limit if voters
approved it.
Hospital officials outlined
the proposed project in brief
to commissioners on Monday,
which would raze the present
1949-vintage hospital and Long
Term Care facility on Maple
Street in Garnett and replace it
with a new facility which preliminary plans say would cost
$26.5 million. While members
of the ACH operations board
and board of trustees stress
the figure is a conservative pre-
liminary estimate and based on
inflated 5.5 percent bond interest rates, the project would have
to be priced around $2 million
in order to comply with Kansas
county general obligation debt
limits.
State law says counties can
encumber themselves up to
three percent of their assessed
property valuation in general
obligation bonds (bonds subject to repayment by tax assessments). Anderson Countys
assessed value for this budget
was some $71 million the preliminary costs of the proposed
project would be some 36 percent of that.
Commissioners met with
its bond counsel from the firm
Kutak Rock after hearing the
proposal from Dave Lybarger,
chairman of the ACH board
of directors and Diane Doran,
vice-chair of the ACH board of
trustees. Lybarger and Doran
presented the proposal in hopes
county commissioners would

Man faces 25-to-life
in prison for sex
crimes against son
Friends, neighbors finish roofing job
Man found guilty of
sex crimes against
7-year-old boy
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A man found guilty
by a local jury last week of
sexually abusing his son likely
will spend the next 25 years to
life in prison.
An Anderson County jury
convicted Michael Stevens of
two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy and one count of
aggravated indecent liberties
with a child. The crime falls
under special provisions of
Jessicas Law because the
defendant is older than 18 and
the victim is younger than 14;
that means Stevens likely will

Tom Fagg, standing, Joey Hill, at top, and Mike Ireland work to put a new roof on Kathy Lankards home on West Seventh
Avenue, Garnett. A group of friends and neighbors gathered this weekend for a roofing party after a contractor failed to finish
the job.
Homeowner: Roofing nightmare turns into miracle
Contractor fails to finish job
so friends, neighbors step
in, rebuild womans roof
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The house has problems,
but it still has plenty of value for Kathy
Lankard.
The men who gathered this past
weekend to work on that house also
have had a history of problems, yet they
also have plenty of values, Lankard
said.
Several people helped put a new roof
on Lankards house this past weekend
after a contractor she hired to do the
job disappeared and left her with a
large hole in the roof. The men worked
in scorching hot temperatures that
topped 100 degrees, volunteering their
time to make sure the work was done
properly.
Its just been a miracle, Lankard
said. Some of these people have gotten
a bad rep in this town, but theyre the
ones who came and helped for free.
Lankards problem began earlier
this month when she hired a local contractor to repair her roof. She paid
him $2,829 in advance for materials and
supplies. The man worked a few hours
July 9 and a few more hours here and
there over the next few days, tearing
off old roofing tiles. His work left large
holes of exposed roof, which he covered
with tarps that soon blew off and left
the roof open to the elements. Over the
next few days, calls to the contractor
went unreturned and he did not return

be sentenced to life without the
possibility of parole until he
has served at least 25 years.
The trial lasted just one day,
Monday, July 16, and the jury
deliberated more than 2 hours
before returning a guilty verdict.
The childs mother testified she was raped by Stevens,
and the child was a product of
that rape. In the spring of 2011,
she decided her 7-year-old son
needed to know his father and
brought Stevens into the home.
Stevens stayed at the home for
a couple of weeks between late
March and early April, 2011.
Sometime after he left, the boy
came forward and said Stevens
sexually abused him. The boy
testified Stevens told him he

Heat takes toll on air conditioners, too
Simple steps can help you
maintain cooling systems,
keep cool in hot temps
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The strain of keeping
cool in 100-degree-plus temperatures
means most people are relying heavily
on their air conditioners. And if those
machines cant keep up, local air conditioning repairmen are expected to
save the day.
The current heat wave has kept
those service companies busy; representatives of some companies called
for this story said they were swamped
and it was difficult to find someone to
comment.
Paul Scobee, owner of Hometown
Heating & Cooling, said he has been
extremely busy with calls for air conditioner service and offered some tips to
help people make sure their air conditioner is running efficiently.
Hes found, however, that people who
have their air conditioners cleaned and
serviced on a regular basis fare better
than those who neglect regular maintenance. He recommends doing so in the
spring, but its not too late to have the
machine cleaned now even if it seems
to be working properly.
Its still beneficial. Any time you
clean one of them, its going to run better, Scobee said.
Its best to have it done in the
spring when we can see a problem
before it acts up. Generally, if weve
serviced one in the spring and they do
have problems, they are fairly minor
problems, he said.
Of course, the constant stress of
combating the heat can take a toll even
on machines that are well-maintained.
Overworked components can break
down, too, Scobee said.
He also said its important for people
to make sure they have a clean filter.
Other sources say you can maximize
the comfort of your home by using
fans to help your system circulate air
around living areas and at the elevation that you feel the breeze most in
order to cool your skin temperature.
You can also open a window a small
amount to help create circulation and
a crosswind inside your home.
The heat is expected to continue
this week with temperatures topping
100 until a chance for thunderstorms
Wednesday night into Thursday could
bring temperatures down to the 90s.

ANDERSON COUNTY BOARD OF
COMMISSIONERS JULY 9
Chairman Dudley R. Feuerborn called
the meeting of the Anderson County Board
of Commissioners to order at 9:00 a.m. on
July 9 at the County Commission Room.
Attendance: Dudley R. Feuerborn, Present:
Eugene Highberger, Present: James K.
Johnson, Present. All present. The pledge of
allegiance was recited. Minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved.
Road and Bridge
Lester Welsh, Road Supervisor, met with
the commission. He presented quotes for a
used dozer from two of the companies who
bid a new one. He has looked at one that
was lower priced. Commissioner Highberger
moved to purchase from Berry Tractor a 2005
Kamatsu dozer with 1500 hours at a cost of
$68,000 out of special machinery and sell
the current dozer to Zooks Excavating for
$42,000 which will go into special machinery.
Commissioner Johnson seconded. Approved
3-0. Lester presented his 2013 budget
requests. He has received a request to close
a portion of Trego Road that dead ends currently 3/4 mile down. The landowner would
like to close 1/2 mile of it leaving the first 1/4
open. Discussion was held on just allowing
the resident to gate the road as there are no
other landowners involved. If it is ever sold
and the new owner wants it open they could
just remove the gate. Commission approved
of gating the road.
Ambulance Bid
Brent Teter and Jay Watkins, MICT,
presented a bid for the operation of the
ambulance service. They explained how their
service works and how they will work with the
county.

the position.
Emergency Management
Marvin Grimes, Emergency Management,
presented his 2013 budget request. He has
received the renewal for the Code Red
System. He has talked to them about reducing the cost of the contract. If we sign a
three year contract it would reduce the cost
slightly. Commissioner Johnson moved to
approve the renewal of the Code Red at a
cost of $9,590. Commissioner Highberger
seconded. Approved 3-0.

Accidents
An accident was reported on July 13
when a vehicle driven by Ian Roy Comfort,
16, Westphalia, was traveling westbound
on 1300 Road at Barton Road at excessive
speed and he lost control of the vehicle. The
vehicle struck a dirt wall and then rolled over
two times.
was 6, and the house became
known as the place teenagers
could go and stay when they
were having problems at home.
Because the house became
such a sanctuary to so many
troubled youth, many of the
kids who visited had problems
that led to criminal charges,
Lankard said. Over the years,
some of those people stayed in
close contact. Ireland was one
of those.
He said, Mom, were going
to fix this roof, Lankard
said, adding that Ireland is not
related but called her Mom
because of his close friendship
with the family.
Ireland, along with another family friend, Joey Hicks,
and neighbor Tom Fagg quickly organized a roofing party.
Other friends and neighbors
and their families gathered to
help fix the roof or provide food
and supplies. One man donated
$200 to hire a lift, but the company instead did the work for
free; the man who donated the
money refused to take it back,
instead asking that it be used to
help the men who were putting
on the new roof.
Ireland didnt have much to
say about the event. For him,
it was simple: a friend needed
help, so he helped.
But for Lankard, the help
from friends and family meant
a great deal.
These people all showed
up like angels. I know theyre
ornery boys but they can do
good things, she said. I cant
thank them enough.
first trial. At the second trial,
SRS provided large-scale drawings to show the jury. The second group of jurors also would
have preferred to see the police
station interview even if they
couldnt hear it, Campbell said.
Its sometimes difficult to
provide all the evidence a jury
expects, especially because
of the popularity of crime
shows and forensic technology,
Campbell said. However, thats
exactly why jury trials are so
important, he said. If he can
obtain irrefutable evidence, the
defendant likely will agree to
a plea bargain; sometimes the
states evidence needs a jury to
interpret whether a defendant
is guilty or not, he said.
A trial that involved a young
child also can be difficult to
prove, Campbell said. It can be
challenging for a young child to
talk about sexual abuse, especially in front of 12 strangers.
Defense attorneys argued the
child might have remembered
events incorrectly, or someone
else committed the act.
A lot of times when all you
have is a childs testimony,
absent of a confession by the
defendant, its almost always
fatal to the case, Cambpell
said.
Because of problems with
the jailhouse recording, jurors
could not listen to Stevens
give a confession. However, he
apparently had told someone
else what he had done, and that
person testified.

Michael McGuire Abernathy, 66,
of Orlando, Florida, died Sunday,
July 15, 2012,
at
Orlando.
Mike was born
August 29, 1945,
at Fort Myers,
Florida, and
was the eldest
of the three
children
of
Arthur Briggs
Abernathy
Abernathy, Jr.
and Louise C.
McGuire Abernathy. Mikes dad
was serving in the military and
a few months after Mikes birth,
the family relocated to another
duty assignment beginning Mikes
opportunity to live in locations
throughout the United States and
overseas. Mike particularly enjoyed
living in Arizona where his next
door neighbor spent endless hours
introducing him to fast cars, woodworking and the ability to fix anything mechanical. Between the
neighbor and his uncle Marvin
McGuire who gave him his first ride
on a motorcycle, they ignited interests that Mike enjoyed throughout
his life.
Mike graduated from high school
in Germany. Years ago Mike learned
of the Bitburg Alumni Association
and thereafter kept in touch with
his high school friends as well as
attended alumni reunions throughout the country. After high school,
Mike moved to Wichita for his dads
last duty assignment at McConnell.
He attended college at Wichita State
and also completed drafting school.
Mike enlisted in the United States
Navy serving in Viet Nam. After
receiving an honorable discharge,
he moved back to Wichita where he
worked as a draftsman and also had
his own cabinet and woodworking
shop. Mike was very involved in the
Sports Car Club of America while
in Wichita and rode motorcycles in
various groups and with numerous
fellow cyclists.
In 1989, Mike moved to Florida to
marry Nancy J. Fursman Abernathy
and they lived in Orlando after
their marriage. He continued with
jobs in the woodworking and cabinet making field until opening his
own shop. The workmanship of his
furniture and cabinet making was
exquisite. Much of his work was
completed for homes of celebrities
and entertainers, professionals in
the medical and legal fields and
professional athletes. A client could
describe a vision of a project while
he sketched details resulting in a
complete drawing Mike would then
create into a work of art in wood.
Mike was also skilled with AutoCad and other computer programs
which assisted in his projects. Often
Mike would develop a particular
type of wood turning or other specialty item to make a project unique
with the commitment to the client
it would never be repeated in any
other clients project.
In 2006, Mike closed his shop
due to health issues but continued
to advise, consult and work part
time as long as he was able. His
enthusiasm for cars and motorcycles continued and he enjoyed
attending rallies and events with
his friends. Mike had founded several motorcycle clubs in Orlando.
He also participated with a group
which meets every Thursday night
for conversation and dinner referring to the guys who attend as some
of the best people he had ever met.
Mikes additional interests included
metal turning, music and gardening and he was a voracious reader.
He was a man of intelligence, wit
and compassion. He always enjoyed
being a pet owner from the time he
had his beloved dog Josie through
the series of rescued cats that came
to live with him and Nancy with
the current feline king of the house
known as Reynaldo.
In addition to his wife Nancy,
Mike is survived by his mother
and brother Pete Abernathy and
Petes wife Holly, all of Cincinnati,
OH; sisters-in-law and brothers-inlaw Susan and Don Diebolt, Iola;
John A. Fursman, III, Garnett;
and Roxanne and Charles Dawson,
Great Bend; father-in-law John A.
Fursman, Jr., Colony; and many
nieces, nephews, great-nieces and
great-nephews; and two great-great
nieces. His father and his sister
Deany Rief are deceased.
If you wish to remember Mike
with a memorial tribute, please
donate to the charity of your choice
or to a cause in which you believe.
Mike believed in organ donation
and as his final act of kindness
provided the gift of sight to two
individuals by donation of his
corneas to the Lions Eye Institute
for Transplant and Research, 1410
North 21st Street, Tampa, Florida
33605, telephone 813-289-1200.
A graveside service was at

party side.
The Review couldnt reach
Rose Ellis of Westphalia, county Republican Party chairman,
for comment, and messages left
for Register werent returned.
But a former Republican Party
chairman who also did not file
for his precinct committee post
this year said the vacancies
have to do most of the time
with simple forgetfulness and
the lack of management from
the office holders.
People in those posts will
simply forget to file, like I did,
especially if theyre new to
the committee, said Review
publisher Dane Hicks, who
had been Republican precinct
committeeman from Monroe
Township and former local
party chairman. Its always
been hard to get people to want
to be involved anyway, and if
the chairman isnt on top of
the schedule and sending out
reminders to those committee
members to re-file come election time, a lot of them are
going to forget to do it. Hicks
said he plans to mount a writein campaign to regain his seat
in Monroe Township.
Running as a write-in is
one option for those who want
to serve, or either party can
fill those positions simply by
appointing someone later.
Because precinct committee men and women have few
responsibilities outside of
appointing someone when an
office becomes vacant, there
may not be much interest in
serving unless that happens.
Marjorie Deloris Gross, age 91,
of rural Parker, Kansas, died July
17, 2012 at the Life Care Center in
Osawatomie.
Marjorie was born July 6, 1921
at Conway, Missouri. She was the
daughter of Virgil and Vina (Evans)
Phillips. She grew up in Long Lane,
Missouri and attended school at
Flatwoods, Missouri.
She was united in marriage to
Jack Gross in November of 1940
at Lebanon, Missouri. They made
their home in Kansas City, Kansas
until 1957. They later moved to
rural Linn County, Parker, Kansas.
They were the parents of five children and they had also embraced
Terry Pickering as their son who
was age 17 at the time. Marjorie
worked alongside her husband Jack
at the Sears Store in Osawatomie
which they owned and operated
for three years, 1967-1970. She was
a homemaker for SRS for 15 years,
1980-1995. She had also worked at
the ARC Thrift Store in Garnett
where retail items were sold for
handicapped children. Marjorie
had many hobbies. She loved gardening and growing flowers. She
was an American Picker before
her time, collecting a variety of
antique items. She was an excellent speller and an avid reader. Her
favorite author was Frank Yerby
and her favorite book was Mrs.
Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch. Her
husband Jack affectionately called
her The Underdog Advocate as
you could always count on Marjorie
to cheer for the underdog. Marjorie

also in providing a local network to support state or national candidates for office. Each
party has 36 positions one
man and one woman for each
of the 18 voting precincts in
Anderson County. Historically,
only the most stalwart county
politicos have been interested
in the positions.
Last June, under Democratic
Chairman Dean Register,
every precinct position on the
Democratic side was filled
as local Democrats faced the
prospect of appointing a new
sheriff. Register and other
key local Democrats painstakingly sought people who would
be interested in serving, and
appointed them to the position.
When it came time to select a
new sheriff, 24 of those people
attended a meeting to interview sheriffs candidates and
appointed Jeff Hupp, a former
Kansas Bureau of Investigation
agent and a Republican turned
Democrat, as sheriff.
At the time, political insiders
could think of no other time in
the modern political era when
either party had filled all 36 precinct positions. When Democrat
sheriff Dave Vaughan retired
in October 2000, a handful of
Democrats – only 11 served on
the county-wide committee at
the time- picked Darin Dalsing
to serve the post.
But just a year after staffing that committee to its full
compliment and with elections
looming Aug. 7, only 10 people

committee men and women for
the Democratic party. Only six

Are we safer

Its time businesses that
prohibit guns consider the
safety of their customers
Consider,
amid the tragic facts of the
Aurora, Colo.,
theater shooting last week,
the possibility
that a person
trained and
certified by
the states
licensing authority to carry a
EDITORIAL
concealed weapon
had been armed
and sitting in the
theater at the time
suspected murderer James Holmes
began firing into
the audience at
the Cinemark theater.
Consider the
possibility someby Dane Hicks,
one was there, at
PUBLISHER
the opening of a
hot new summer movie, to shoot back.
Or at Virginia Tech.
Or at Binghampton, New York.
Or at Samson, Alabama.
Or others.
Consider that, had Cinemark
Theaters not had a corporate policy
denying access to people with concealed carry gun permits, that someone
trained with the weapon might have
been there to protect the 12 innocent
people some of them children who
lost their lives, and scores of others
who were wounded.
But Cinemarks corporate policy
against guns on its premises prevented
that.
While much of the country is
expectedly echoing the familiar chorus against guns and gun ownership
which never fails to follow an incident
like the one in Colorado, the concept
that an armed civilian in that theater
could have saved some of those lives by
returning fire and killing or incapacitating Holmes is too far outside the public paradigm for many in government
and business to comprehend.
But is it so unimaginable? To the
deranged mind, isnt a no-guns decal
on the window of a business or public
building an invitation to an unarmed
killing field within, where murder and
mayhem may be enjoyed unabated and
uncontested? The anti-gun lobby in the
country has succeeded in convincing
America that common sense doesnt
apply when it comes to arming the
right people.
Businesses and other public places
which continue to deny their customers
permission to carry firearms on their
premises must accept the fact that they
may be denying their customers protection.
If those businesses feel too much
risk exists in allowing concealed carry
on their premises, then they must also
accept the risk in denying it.

Young voters who elected him
turned into Obamas dupes
BY RICH LOWRY
NATIONAL REVIEW
Give the Obama Youth credit for this: At
least they didnt vote their self-interest.
The cadres of college students and
recent graduates who swooned and fainted for Barack Obama four years ago will
long be remembered for one of the most
ill-considered fliers in the annals of selfdefeating enthusiasms. In
the cold light of day, the
youthful idealists, believers and activists of 2008
look like the lamentable
saps, patsies and suckers
of 2012.
Rarely has a politician
owed so much to a constituency he has served
Lowry
so poorly. The president
promised young voters
the moon, and all they got was their old
childhood bedroom back in their parents
house. He fired them up with an inspirational vision that didnt include struggling to find a job to begin to pay off their
onerous student loans. He sold a new kind
of politics and gave them more debt and
more entitlement spending that they will
labor to fund all their working lives.
Obamas inability to deliver on a recovery worthy of the name has devastated
recent college graduates. By one count,
half of them are unemployed or underemployed. More of them are carrying debt
from college, more than 60 percent, than
have full-time employment. Studies show
that graduating into such a weak economy
has a long-lasting dampening effect on
the earnings of young people. They bear
the brunt of the economic failure of their
champion.
If man doesnt live by bread alone,
neither does the youthful Obama voter.
He is attracted to the presidents social
views, to his supposedly forward-looking
progressivism, to what his historic election symbolized in 2008, to his cool and
cerebral style. Obama hasnt created the
conditions for them to get a decent job, but
he can represent their mutual values.
Based on fiscal calculations alone, it
would take a clinical psychologist, not
a political scientist, to understand the
young Obama voter. The basic dynamic of
the entitlement state favors the old over
the young. It is natural that retirees and
baby boomers would be fiercely protective of the entitlement status quo that
they will benefit from at someone elses
expense. It is less natural for the someone
else — i.e., the young worker — to volunteer

for the privilege of getting fleeced.
They qualify as double victims of the
presidents Keynesian-inflected deficit
spending; they suffer from the still-anemic economy now, yet must pay the $5
trillion bill later. They are Generation
Debt. On the current trajectory, they will
inherit the country after the locusts have
eaten. But, hey, did you see the president
slow jam the news on Late Night With
Jimmy Fallon?
Crumbs from the presidents giveaways
— like low-interest Stafford college loans
— cant possibly compensate for this larger
picture. Some young people notice. A New
York Times article reported that the president is encountering more youthful skepticism than in 2008: The nations first-time
voters are less enthusiastic about him,
are significantly more likely to identify
as conservative and cite a growing lack of
faith in government in general.
For all that, the president is still performing well among voters under 30. They
were fooled once, and will be fooled again.
They are Obamas dupes.

I have a question for the mayor and commissioners. Instead of thinking of ways
to hurt Garnett through frivolous tourist
signs and studies that we as taxpayers pay,
how about promote what it is that makes
it so wonderful to live here? It seems to
me that the board and the mayor are all
drawn by these huge dollar amounts that
the state and local governments are going
to give us. I suggest a new path. I say lets
promote what makes this place so wonderful. Lets use what we have to bring
people in from other towns. Lets get
creative. Why not have night swims at the
pool to raise money? Why not to promote
some of the best things that Garnett has
to offer instead of dumping money into
colorful street signs?
Im sure the dog problem in this town is
amazing. In one neighborhood alone I
counted 30 dogs of which Im told some
are always barking, some get out and
tear up trash and dog pens stink because
they never get cleaned. Evidently the city
makes lots of money off these dogs, so
why dont they just allow every dog lover
at least 10 dogs?
I think its about time the county commissioners look at the Internet usage
by their county employees. I know for a
fact there are people at the courthouse
spending over half a day on Facebook,
Twitter, Internet, instead of doing the
jobs were paying them to do. Maybe they
should define a plan that would outline a
policy about Internet usage for employees
during the work day, and also look at a
plan that would let them see what theyre
doing on the Internet during the work
day. Thanks.
Did I read that right? The stupid people of
Garnett are paying $1 million to take down
the Garnett High School? Why didnt they
take that $1 million and remodel the high
school, instead of taking land away from
a man who didnt want to sell and build a
school that looks like a nursing home on
a dangerous highway?
It seems like every time you pick up
the newspaper anymore theres always
something in there about the ADA or the
sidewalks. Instead of talking about it all
the time, why not do something about it
and get if fixed? I noticed people in wheelchairs trying to get to the medical center
have to go down an alley or go down the
middle of the street. Theres no crosswalk
out there. It seems like in the last four
years our city couldnt spend enough
money to get accessibility for one of their
own, but they ignored the other people
that are in wheelchairs. Thank you.
I just want to know, how do you get on the
bandwagon?
Heres an idea. Instead of hiring a couple
more city commissioners and screwing
around with our city charter, why not fix
it the right way so the voters can vote for
the city managers job? The commissioners can go outside of the city and get some
applicants, narrow it down to two or three
and let the voters vote on it. I say the people who pay the taxes should be the ones
who get to vote on the city manager.
Hats off to The Anderson County Review
of July 17. A big thanks to sponsors ads on
pages 8-9. The quotes used on individual
ads were worthy words of our forefathers
and a wonderful reminder of the heritage
through educational endeavors.
Political mailers creative, but do they work?
By now most of us have enough of those
mailings from supporters or opponents of
candidates for the Legislature that if we
just had a little tape, we could make placemats for a dinner party.
Actually, its pretty nice for some
group, whether its teachers or unions
or the Kansas Chamber of Commerce or
American for Prosperity, to tell us what
they think of candidates.
But by now, weve seen enough of those
mailers that its probably time to re-read
them to figure out whether they are enough
to move your vote.
One of the key topics for conservative
mailings to potential voters is just where
a member of the Legislature was on the
issue of the Affordable Care Actwhich
most conservative groups refer to as
Obamacare.
And, surprisingly after the U.S. Supreme
Court decision that upheld most of that
expansive new effort to get every American
insured, is that lawmakers in Kansas, yep,
in Topeka, either somehow supported it or
didnt oppose it strongly enough. As if they
had anything to do with it at all.
Its a little like blaming the Kansas
Legislature for Daylight Saving Time.
But, how does a Kansas legislator put
his/her mark on a federal law that he/she
couldnt change anyway?
by Martin Hawver
KANSAS STATEHOUSE COLUMNIST
One way, according to some of those
mailings, was an effort to give Kansans a
chance to vote on whether they like that
federal law that they couldnt change anyway. That wouldnt have changed anything,
but it might have been cathartic. Is that
moving anyone?
And, there are liberal groups that, by
careful parsing of nearly any bill, can
decide that a candidate voted against
schools or care for the sick and poor.
Thats the easy one. If a legislator voted
for the budgetwhich cut funding to a
bunch of agenciesthen he/she is against
whatever laudable program that was part
of the 200-plus page bill that the mailing
refers to.
Or, if one voted for the budget, which
increased spending on K-12 education,
then, he/she didnt vote to spend as much
as the pamphleteers wanted spent on education. Or if legislators voted against the
budget, then they didnt vote for that little
increase in spending on schools, and are
therefore anti-education.
See something here? Its pretty easy to
take one vote and explain just the parts of
it that make a snappy mailer, and brand a
candidate as anti-something or other.
Make you wonder why those mailings
keep piling up on your kitchen counter?
Because there are voters out there who just
may vote based on whatever lands in the
mailbox.
But while mailings have become cleverer, theres one simple rule that you can
follow to determine whether the special
interest group is for or against the candidate: Its the picture.
Flattering picture? That group is for the
candidate. Unflattering picture? Against
the candidate.
That makes it simple, doesnt it?

as the present configuration of
the emergency room and out
patient services. Hospital officials estimate the 10-year cost
of capital and maintenance
needs at ACH at $15 million,
and some upgrades or maintenance might not even be possible due to code requirements.
A major infrastructure failure,
they said, could close the hospital for weeks or months.
The new plan would reconstruct the new hospital and its
Long Term Care wing on the
existing site, increasing ACHs
surgical capacity to two suites
and expanding the specialty
clinics to 12 exam rooms. It
would construct patient rooms
to do away with existing privacy problems, develop a 10bed inpatient unit with possible
expansion to 25 beds based on
increased skilled care admissions. The project would also
address mechanical and structural issues, and integrate the
hospitals therapy department
back onsite while addressing
other infrastructure and space
deficiencies.
Cost of the project, according to the preliminary report,
would be $20 million in con-
struction with interest of $1.6
million during construction
at 5.5 percent, and $671,000
in financing costs. St. Lukes
would chip in about $2 million for furniture, fixtures and
equipment. Officials said the
cost estimates were high and
would be firmed up if the project was to be pursued.
The agreement would also
up the ante in what the county
and St. Lukes pay to support
the hospital in its annual lease.
Presently, St. Lukes leases
the hospital from Anderson
County and manages the hospital operations there, paying
3 percent of net revenues, or
around $440,000 to the county
annually in lease payments. St.
lukes would boost its annual
lease to $1.024 million plus provide annual maintenance and
capital budget needs of around
$500,000 depending on the budget year. The county would also
contribute $500,000.
Replacing the hospitals Long
Term Care wing attached to the
hospital is estimated at $4.1 million as a part of the project,
bringing the total project cost
to $26.5 million, or an addition
of some 10.4 mills in property
tax increase to the county budget.
The proposal comes amid
stepped-up competition for ACH
among hospitals in the region.
Voters in Allen County last
year overwhelmingly approved
a new $30 million facility in
Iola funded by bonds and a
quarter-cent sales tax. Ransom
Memorial Hospital at Ottawa
completed a $9 million upgrade
and expansion project.
Anderson County voters
approved a $3.8 million faade
renovation to ACH in 1999,
the bonds for which were refinanced in 2005 and have 14
years in remaining payments.

Steele 90th birthday
lang
3×21
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 06-29-2010 / Photo Submitted
On June 16, Berneice Steele gathered with her 12 children and their families to celebrate her 90th
birthday, which was June 6. It was a day filled with many photos and happy memories. Pictured from
left to right are the oldest to youngest: John Steele, Raymond Steele, Martha Chase, Euleta Porter,
Glen Steele, Gary Steele, Marilyn Hoffman, Eileen Johns, Rita Mechnig, Elmer Steele, Robert Steele
and Jane Lee.
Power of prayer: Found
I am sure there are some of
you who will be asking yourselves, how does this weeks
column have anything to do
with archaeology?
Dont forget many things are
lost and sometimes things
are found.
If most of you remember,
I wrote last year that on June
9, 2011, I lost my wallet which
contained some money, etc.,
but the most prized of all were
graduation pictures of my
wife, Kay, our two daughters,
four grandchildren and a very
special picture of my mother
and I (there was no other copy
or negative to replace it with).
Before I continue on, I have
two questions. Do any of you
believe in miracles happening
today and do you believe in the
power of prayer?
Exactly 13 months to the day
(July 9, 2012) my wallet was
found. By whom and where
was it found? It was found by
Lyle Davison and in our own
home.
Now for the rest of the story.
We are having our master bedroom carpeting replaced and
before Lyle could take up the

old and put down the new
several very heavy pieces of
furniture had to be moved to
another room. So it was when
Larry Heck and Lyle were
removing the large mattress
and box springs from our bed
that suddenly Lyle said, I bet
someone has been looking for
this and he held up my wallet.
Evidently I had dropped it
on the floor when changing
clothes and it got kicked or
pushed by the vacuum cleaner
under our bed (our vacuum
cleaner only reaches a short
way under our bed and the bed
is too heavy for Kay and I to
move).
So was it a miracle that
occurred on the 9th of July,
2012? Maybe, or maybe not, but
to Kay and I it certainly was.
As for the power of prayer, I
have no idea how many prayer
warriors there were praying
that my wallet would be found,
but I would like to thank each
and every one of you, plus two
very special ladies.
First is my wife, Kay, who
has been my beautiful prayer
partner for almost 55 years.
Secondly, is my very dear
friend Laura Bauman. Every
time I saw Laura over the past
year, she would ask Have you
found your wallet? and when
I would tell her no, she would
say, Im praying for you.
What a wonderful prayer warrior she has been in my life.
I have known Laura since
she was in the first and I in
the second grade at the country school called Cedar Ridge
(Dist. 44). Even back in grade
school, I knew Laura was a
young lady from a loving, caring and Christian family.
Now do I believe in the
power of prayer, you bet I do.
Praise the Lord my wallet has
been found.

July 30, 2002
Preliminary plans for the
proposed Anderson County
Jail include a 4,000 square foot
basement that would serve as
the only emergency shelter
in Garnett. If built, the shelter would be accessible to the
public in the event of severe
weather. There is currently no
emergency shelter area available to the public in the Garnett
area.
Garnett City Commissioners
upheld a city zoning board recommendation to allow the construction of a communications
tower in downtown Garnett,
which state preservation officials say may jeopardize grant
funding for future restoration projects on the Anderson
County Courthouse.

The City of Garnett is still

The School Board of USD 365
steered itself around a number
of hazards in complaints by a
number of concerned parents
in regard to the planned policy
to assign kindergarten students
to attendance centers rather
than to let the students choose
which center they will attend.
The problem with allowing
students to choose where they
would attend was that the teach-
er loads in Garnett were heavier
than in the two rural centers.
Last year Irving had 22 students
in one class, 23 in the other,
and Longfellow had 19 while
Westphalia and Greeley each
had only 12 students enrolled.

Berry Farris is the proud
possessor of a brand-splinternew automobile, a Mitchell car,
which he has just purchased at
the garage. And thereby hangs
a tale. J.W. Archer says Berry
wanted to try his new car and
invited him to go along and help
him run it and to be on hand in
case anything should happen.
Berry got in but kept one foot
outside. Directly, he got nervous
and bore down so hard with his
foot that the engine died. He
asked Jim to get out and crank
the machine. After theyd gone
about a mile further, Berry got
nervous again – the car was going
too fast for comfort – and again
he bore down too hard on his
foot and the engine died. Again
Jim got out and cranked. After
they traveled several miles this
way, steady by jerks, Jim said,
You can crank it yourself.

Are you ready to step from time into eternity?
Weekly
Devotional
This is a very interesting
question and one that each of
us will eventually face. When
we pass from this world we will
enter into an eternal existence.
Eternity is defined as being
without beginning or end; endless time.
We dont think about eternity being without beginning.
In John 1:1-2 we read, In
the beginning was the Word,
(Jesus) and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God.
He was with God in the beginning. As difficult as it is to
understand God and Jesus had
no beginning.
In John 3:16 Jesus says, For
God so loved the world that
he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him
shall not perish but have eternal life.
These two verses lead us to
by David Bilderback
the exact definition of eternityendless time. Now that we have
seen that eternity is an endless
time and that at some point we
will enter into it do we see this
existence in the Bible?
In Luke 16 Jesus relates
the story of the rich man and
Lazarus. The rich man lived
a life of luxury every day and
Lazarus was a beggar that laid
at his gate and longed for the
crumbs that fell from the rich
mans table. In time both men
died and Jesus relates their
existence as follows. When
Lazarus died the angels carried him to Father Abrahams
side (God). The rich man also
died and was buried. He went
to torment. He looked up and
asked Father Abraham to send
Lazarus over with some water
to cool his tongue because he
was in agony. Father Abraham
reminded the rich man that
in his lifetime he received
many good things but made no
preparation for the after life
and there was a great chasm
between them that prevented
crossing over.
This scripture verifies two
things, an existence after death
and some type pf separation
of believers and non-believers. Our earthly existence is
marked by time, clocks, and calendars. We will remain in time
until death then time will be
no more. It will never again be
important to us. If we are going
to be faced with this step from
time into eternity we cannot
ignore preparation as the rich
man did.
In 1st Corinthians 13:12 the
apostle Paul says, Now we see
but a poor reflection as in a
mirror, then we shall see face to
face. Now I know in part; then
I shall know fully, even as I am
fully known.
We have found and examined
scriptural text that verifies we
are going into one of two types
of existence. If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior you are prepared
for eternity. If you havent that
opportunity remains in front of
you.

Downtown Buildings: In early
spring when the temperatures
were ideal, work progressed on
the demolition of the two business buildings. The bank building is down and a bit of the
joining building on the east. Hot
temperatures as of June and this
month have slowed the project.
Charlie Ward and Steve Wallace
are the appointed Safety and
Demolition Committee. A frontage protection wall was erected
last year and remains for safety
measures. This project needs
volunteers to finish the job.
Several have hoped Colony Day,
Sept. 1, would do it but it does
not look promising. Hopefully
this fall things will look upward
again.
Donations are welcome and
should be left at the City Hall.
They may be mailed to City of
Colony, 339 Cherry St., P.O. Box
68, Colony, KS 66015. The city
council has set up a fund for this
project. These funds are to be
used to pay for the cost of tearing down the remaining building
and to supply a park. A park has
been planned to fill the building vacancies. Benches, trash
cans and other needed items
(once the removal is complete)
will be needed for the park. The
park will be available for use at
all times and especially during
annual Colony Day events.
Colony military peoples
names recently collected and
names to be added to this list
will be placed on a wall in the
park. If any one in your family
is not on the list, please contact
Kloma Buckle 620-852-3367, email
kbuckle@ckt.net or Jessica
Riebel, email jriebel02@gmail.
com.
The list will also be sent to
Ken Miller at Garnett as the
American Legion are gathering
all Anderson County military
people that have ever served for
a memorial to be placed on the
Garnett courthouse lawn.
