less mercury rising at last

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT When the siren sounds across town,
it alerts not only the local people of an emergency, but it is also a call for volunteers of
various kinds to respond to help those in need.
The majority of emergency responder positions
in Anderson County with the exception of the
ambulance service, are filled by volunteers, and
many towns have a shortage of them.
The biggest hurdle we are facing with finding volunteer firefighters is so many people
work outside of the county so their availability
is limited, said Anderson County Emergency
Management Director JD Mersman. You add
on responsibilities of home life, kids, sporting
events, school activities, etc. and there just isnt
enough time in the day.
Mersman says the shortage of volunteers isnt
just in Anderson County, its nationwide. He
says the number of volunteers continues to drop
every year and has forced many departments to
go from volunteer to paid staff departments.
Volunteers for local departments are asked
to go to training and most of the stations meet
monthly. Those meetings last about two hours.
Additional training is also provided to volunteers. Volunteers can often be seen going to the

Health department aims at a higher public profile
Office hopes to widen
awareness of services
with public initiatives
BY MELISSA HOBBS THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT When Sarah
Hulcy took the position of
Administrative Assistant at
the Anderson County location
of the Southeast Kansas MultiCounty Health Department,
she told them she wanted to get
the word out better about all
the things the department had
to offer, and she has done just
that. Last week they celebrated
with an open house to let people get acquainted with all the
new and exciting things going
on at the health department
office.
Since the department moved
to a new location on the corner of Third and Vine Streets,
Hulcy says it seems that a lot of
people thought they just closed
rather than moved. Not only
has the facility not closed their
doors, but theyve added a lot of
new services.
Hulcy says the department
offers many services including
daycare licensing, well woman
exams and family planning,
testing and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy testing, blood pressure
checks, glucose testing, tuberculosis testing, immunizations,
and WIC.
The office is also able to
offer most types of physicals
including those needed for Kan
Be Healthy, employment, and
daycare. They arent able to
offer school physicals because

those require a physicians signature. Something that a lot of
people arent aware of is that
blood draws for labs can also be
drawn there. Hulcy says some
of the services are free, and others come with a minimal fee,
but those with fees are often
cheaper than co-pays or deductibles.
Hulcy says that insurance
isnt needed to take advantage of the services the health
department offers. She says
there is no income requirement for most programs and
the department is open to the
community. We have a lot of
resources for a variety of people, says Hulcy.
A brand-new program that
is just getting started at the
health department is a program called Hand-Me-Ups.
Hulcy says its been kind of
my baby getting it started,
but the program was created
to educate people about available resources, doing healthy
things, and rewarding people
for making good decisions.
By taking part in programs
and making healthy choices,
people are rewarded in HandMe-Ups Bucks and those
Bucks can be used to shop in
the Hand-Me-Ups store at the
health department for things
like clothes, toys, baby equipment, diapers, and formula.
The community has really
wrapped their arms around the
Hand-Me-Ups program to get
it going, says Hulcy. Because
state funding cannot be used
for these additional programs,
they are funded completely by
donations and the community

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Responsibility
for power interruptions in
Garnetts electric system is
always a hot potato neither
the city nor its power supplier, Kansas City Power & Light
want to get stuck with. But
the issue of claims which commissioners heard at a recent
city commission meeting illuminated a partial solution of
which most city residents are
unaware.
Intermittent power failures
in Garnett after a storm several weeks ago had power blinking on and off several times
on Saturday morning June 17,
and a number of city residents
have made claims for damaged
electronics since the incident.
Former city manager Joyce
Martin said at the time the
problem involved fallout from
a lightning storm the night
before.
From what I understand,
we were continually losing the
interconnection from Kansas
City Power & Light Saturday
morning, Martin said in an
email to the Review the morning after the incident. So the
power plant and city electricians switched over to generating with the citys engines
until KCP&L stabilized. We
went back on KCP&L around
noon on Saturday. She said
there were similar problems
Saturday evening. A longer
outage affected KCPL customers in the Kansas City area at
the same time.
City commissioners postponed a decision on claims
since commissioner Jody Cole
wasnt present at the meeting,
but the discussion brought a
point by Mayor Gordon Blackie
that the city offers electric
meter surge protectors for sale,
and most city utility customers probably dont know about
it. The surge protectors are
installed at the electric meter,
and thwart any power surge
coming in on the main power
line to the rest of the house.
Cost is about $160.
Andy Thacker, who filed
one of the claims, was unaware
the city offered the devices and
said the surge protector was an
obvious advantage.
Thats a pretty safe investment over the years. said
Andy; You simply dont know
what a storm will take out.
City electric technician Troy
Hart said surge protectors were
a good idea, but were limited in
their scope.
A surge protector only protects your home from a drastic increase in voltage; they do
not protect against a decrease
in voltage, Hart said. Some
homes may have Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
receptacles installed, but they
dont protect whats plugged
into it, he said.
GFCI plugs are not surge
protectors, but you can purchase surge protectors that
plug into the receptacles inside
your home and then plug your

RECORD
Anderson County Board of
Commisioners July 10, 2017
Chairman
Jerry
Howarter called the meeting of the Anderson County
Commission to order at 9:00
a.m. on July 10, 2017 at the
County Commission Room.
In attendance were Jerry
Howarter, David Pracht, and
Leslie McGhee. The pledge
of allegiance was recited.
Minutes from the previous
meeting were approved as
presented.
Register of Deeds
Sandy Baugher, Register
of Deeds, met with the commission. She presented bids
for a new copier in her office.
The one she has is at the
end of its contract term.
She presented 3 bids: Copy
Products for $3,239 includes
3-year warranty excludes
toner; Digital Connections
for $3,766 includes 3-year
warranty excludes toner;
Modern Copy Systems for
$3,771 includes 3-year warranty and toner. The Register
of Deeds currently has a copier from Copy Products and it
does not perform according
to the duties of their office.
The decision was tabled until
more research is done on the
copiers.
Emergency Management
J.D. Mersman, Emergency
Management Director, met
with the commission. He
discussed upgrading the
radio system in the county.
Currently the department
is having trouble with frequency in the western part
of the county. J.D. is in negotiations to be able to put a
repeater on the radio tower
near Aliceville to fix the dead
spots and frequency. The cost
to have the tower space will
be between $2,000 and $3,000
per year. The total amount
to finish the radio upgrade
and purchase the remaining
radios for handhelds and
vehicles will be approximately $70,000. To offset the cost
the department has applied
for multiple grants. They
received a grant for $19,600
from the USDA, $4,500 from
the Forestry Service, and
have applied for a $2,000
grant from MFA Oil. J.D.
asked the Commissioners if
they would help pay for the
upgrade from the Equipment
Reserve fund and the rest
would come out of their budget. Commissioner Pracht
moved and Commissioner
McGhee seconded to transfer
$25,000 from the Equipment
Reserve fund to the Civil
Defense fund to help pay for
the upgrade and purchase of
radios. All voted yes.
Rural Fire
Mick Brinkmeyer, Rural
Fire
Supervisor,
met
with the commission. Chair
Howarter inquired about
recruitment for volunteer
firefighters. He has noticed
some areas in the county are
not equipped with enough
volunteers. Discussion was
held on how to obtain more
volunteers, how to retain the
ones that we have currently and possibly reasons why
the county cannot find volunteers. The commission is
open to suggestions on how
to recruit more volunteers.
Frontier Extension District
Fran Richmond, Frontier
Extension District, met with
the commission. She presented the 2017 Fiscal Conditions
& Trends book and gave a
copy to each commissioner.
Discussion was held on the
trends of Anderson County.

REMEMBRANCES
Smart debt: Financial planner says
debt can be helpful if used carefully
MANHATTAN Household
debt has reached an all-time
high in the U.S. according
to the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York, but a financial planner at Kansas State
University said debt isnt
always bad.
Stuart Heckman, assistant professor at the universitys Institute of Personal
Financial Planning in the
College of Human Ecologys
School of Family Studies and
Human Services, said there
are times when debt can be
a useful tool if its used in a
smart way.
It can be a good idea to
borrow for purchases that are
expected to provide substantial benefit in the long run,
Heckman said. Sometimes,
instead of trying to pay certain debts off quickly, it can
be more advantageous to
make required payments
and use your money in other
ways.
Positive reasons to go into
debt may include education
and housing. Reasons to pay
off debt slowly include low
interest rates, tax benefits
and building up an emergency savings fund, Heckman
said.
Some people fear student
loans without knowing how
much the monthly payments
will be or how long it will take
to pay them off with their
expected earnings, Heckman
said. Working 40 hours a
week while taking a full-time
class schedule might appear
to be a smart alternative, but
this way of paying for college can eventually be more
expensive, he said.
If a student is unable to
devote the time it takes to do
well in the course and then
has to retake it, that raises the
question of whether avoiding
student loan debt was worth
it, Heckman said. Retaking
courses becomes way more
expensive than it would have
been to just borrow money
and pay for the course.
Homes can be a good reason to go into debt because
they provide benefit for a longer time than it takes to pay
it off, and many real estate
properties grow in value over
time, Heckman said. As with
any debt, individuals need to
be careful in deciding how
much to borrow, he said.
If any purchase requires
taking on debt, many people
assume it is best to pay off
the debt as fast as possible,
but Heckman said this isnt
always the case.
Sometimes, debt holding can make some sense,
especially when borrowing
is cheap, Heckman said.
Interest rates have been low
lately, so it doesnt always
make sense to pay down a
mortgage more quickly, especially since mortgage interest
is tax deductible.
For example, if a homeowners mortgage has a 3
percent interest rate and he
or she has enough money to
pay down the loan, it is not
automatically smartest to pay
it off immediately, Heckman
said. Instead of paying off the
loan faster, the homeowner
could invest that money in
something that might earn
more than 3 percent, such as
a diversified investment portfolio.
It also is valuable to keep
debt if the other option
would be to liquidate savings because everyone should
have an emergency fund,
Heckman said. This fund, ideally with two to six months of
expenses saved, can come in
handy when an unexpected
expense arises or a source of
income unexpectedly ends.
As a simple rule, if you
dont have a well-established
emergency fund, thats a bigger priority than extra debt
payments, Heckman said.
People might rush to pay
off debt, but it doesnt make
sense to totally liquidate
all cash on hand because if
something happens, the person often needs a new line of
credit, which can negatively
affect their credit score. Its
smarter to meet required debt
payments while building savings at the same time.
Heckman has authored or
co-authored more than 20 personal finance studies that are
published in peer-reviewed
journals, conference proceedings and other publications,
and he has worked outside
academia at financial planning firms for more than a
decade.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, July 25, 2017
OPINION
Dumping Paris good for Kansas
President Trumps full pullout of the Paris
Climate Accord at the beginning of last month
is an opportunity for Congress to dismantle the
Environmental Protection Agency regulations
that force power companies to buy wind power. It
will be a boon for Kansas economy.
The fallout from Trumps move away from
global environmental regulation is still being
analyzed from one renewable energy industry
to another, but the momentum ought to be formidable enough for Congress to act to repeal
and replace the EPA. A starting point would be
dismantling the EPA regs that basically force a
subsidy from rate payers pockets to those wind
companies for power that doesnt save an iota of
carbon in the final analysis.
The telling indicator for the wind industry
boils down to one ridiculous irony: That the turbines in multi-million dollar wind farms have to
have stable electricity from the grid (produced by
coal, nuke or natural gas) in order to start up.
Young as it is, the fallout of Trumps dump of
the accords has had some demonstrated impacts
on the companies formally in the catbird seat for
huge subsidies and tax breaks associated with
wind and solar power. Elon Musk, head of electric
car company Tesla, SolarCity Corp. and SpaceX
and who has reaped a reported $4.9 billion (that
b as in billion) in Obama-era government subsidies for his clean energy businesses, stomped off
in a huff from two of Trumps presidential advisory panels after the decision. It makes one wonder
if Musk and other huge companies that have
embraced green initiative investments for their
obvious government payday in direct subsidies
or tax breaks (remember Calpine Corporation?)
have seen the writing on the wall.
Of course most Americans, even most
Republicans, dont want to see a wholesale termination of the EPA (despite a bill to that very effect
from a newly-elected Florida congressman). Most
of us remember the 1960s and 1970s and the morbid pollution that affected most waterways near
industrial areas, farm chemical use that threatened the Bald Eagle, etc., and we understand the
value to the environment when proper stewardship is enforced with clear headedness. There is
no doubt that the United States needs the EPA.
But theres no doubt any number of its regulatory
fiats need dismantling, among them mandates to
power companies to purchase wind energy which
due to the nature of the wind still has to be backed
up by constant coal, gas or nuke production.
It is well within congress grasp to do this,
particularly with Republican majorities, through
individual bills, joint resolutions and budget riders. For states like Kansas whove already seen
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
electric rate increases due to the artificial inflation of forced-purchase wind power, the illustration gets no more clear than a quick look at
Germany.
The Germans lead the world in wind power
development and have paid a princely ransom for
it in terms of skyrocketing electric bills and taxes
to fund wind company subsidies. Prices for electricity are so high in Germany now that industries dont open there they open in Slovakia,
where electricity is cheaper. German wind power
has been great for Slovakia.
Kansas might reap similar investments if EPA
mandates for wind power are dropped. Some blue
states would still be intent on assuaging their
carbon conscience and keep those mandates with
their extra taxes and costs in their own jurisdictions New York, for instance, has already
pledged to keep the Paris standards regardless of
the Trump pullout. Thats a comparative advantage states like Kansas could use in recruiting
new industries.
Costs of renewable energy options will go
down as new technology makes it cheaper something solar energy is experiencing now. But wind
farms and the ridiculous costs and policies that
support them will collapse when their umbilical
cord to the EPA is finally cut.

No, China isnt going to provide world leadership
The world has had its delusions about
China over the years, but none quite as fantastical as the notion of Beijing assuming the
mantle of global leadership.
Ever since Donald Trumps election, it has
been a journalistic trope to speculate that
China is about to take the lead on globalization, climate change and international diplomacy.
Knowing his audience, President Xi Jinping
has stoked this tripe by mouthing all the right
cliches in front of the right audiences. He gave
a speech at Davos heavy on the theme of openness and promised to help lead globalization.
Any attempt to cut off the flow of capital,
technologies, products, industries and people
between economies, Xi said, summoning his
best Thomas Friedman, is simply not possible.
Somehow, China manages the impossible
nonetheless. When it comes to information
(which Xi omitted from his litany), China cuts
itself off from the rest of the world quite adeptly. According to the pro-democracy group
Freedom House, China ranks last in the world
in internet freedom, behind Iran and Syria.
It blocks Google, YouTube, Facebook and
Twitter, and jails people for spreading rumors
online, i.e., criticizing government officials.
How about the free flow of capital? China
has tight rules against capital outflows.
Technology? China is an expert at stealing
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
it, especially from foreign companies operating in China. Products? Despite its membership in the World Trade Organization,
China is robustly mercantilist. Brad Setser
of the Council on Foreign Relations points
out that imported manufactures as a share of
the Chinese economy peaked in 2003 and have
been falling since. What Xi calls win-win
cooperation is the rest of the world opening
its markets to China while China refuses to
reciprocate.
Xi also toes the Davos line on climate
change, to the delight of credulous Westerners.
Chinas leadership consists of making a pledge
as part of the Paris accords to reach peak
emissions in 2030 — a goal consistent with
the trajectory of its economy anyway — and
planning to make a mint by selling to the West
green technology it has developed through its
characteristic unscrupulous means.
There is no doubt that China, the worlds
second-largest economy, is much more assertive on the international stage than it used to
be, but the idea of it as a global leader, or as a
responsible power, or even as an admirable
country is daft.
It props up the lunatic regime in North
Korea because it fears the prospect of a unified, democratic Korea. It is pushing for control of the South China Sea, ignoring a sweeping ruling by an international tribunal against
its claims of sovereignty. It is investing massively in its military — and not to support the
cause of global openness.
Clearly, one motive for the dewy-eyed press
coverage of Chinas purported leadership is
a distaste for Donald Trump, who wears his
disregard for the global elite on his sleeve.
The romance with Xi is a way to tweak him.
But, whatever his views on trade or climate
change, Trump doesnt run a repressive
one-party state. Its perverse to be more comfortable with the president who bans Twitter
over the president who uses it indiscriminately.
Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.
Governing America with a stupid, hostile media
President Donald Trump drives people
crazy. Especially those in the media.
They hate him so much, they leap on every
anti-Trump rumor.
The Federalists Jordyn Pair points out
that the press repeatedly told us that a dozen
Trump administration members were about
to be fired, including Attorney General Jeff
Sessions, Press Secretary Sean Spicer and
strategists Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner.
Months later, all still work for or with the
administration.
I actually wish Sessions had been fired,
but Trumps staff reshufflings are no more
frequent than those of other administrations,
including President Obamas. The media so
desperately want something bad to happen,
to prove Trumps unqualified, that they blow
stuff up.
New York Times writers are so upset by
Trumps rants against them that they act
like hes a Venezuelan dictator who will shut
them down. (Wait, dont Times socialists like
Venezuelan dictators?)
Independent Press Is Under Siege as
Freedom Rings was one recent headline.
The evidence?
The First Amendment, wrote the normally sensible media columnist Jim Rutenberg,
is under near-daily assault from the highest
levels of the government.
The assault cited was Trumps tweeting
out a fake wrestling video, which depicted, as
Rutenberg put it, himself tackling and beating a figure with a CNN logo superimposed.
So what? The video, like professional wrestling, was childish and unpresidential. But it
doesnt put the press under siege. Its a lame
joke.
Rutenberg goes on to ask how we can feel
good about Independence Day and press freedom when the president lashes out at The
Washington Post by making a veiled threat
GUEST COMMENTARY
JOHN STOSSEL, Creators Syndicate
against the business interests of its owner,
Jeff Bezos, suggesting that his other company,
Amazon, is a tax avoider. (Where have we seen
that sort of thing before Russia maybe?)
Hello? In Russia, Putin probably murdered
reporters. Trump merely suggested that Bezos
dodges taxes.
I threw that at Rutenberg. He emailed back,
That wasnt a reference to murder (but) to
executive authority using tax code to squelch
free-speech. In Russia, media that criticized
Putin were raided and accused of tax fraud.
But Trump hasnt done any of that. Theres
speculation that he will block a Time Warner
merger, but hasnt done it.
Another annoying Times headline: The
Network Against the Leader of the Free
World.
The story complained about Trumps
denunciations (of CNN) in stinging tweets
and slashing speeches.
Poor CNN. Except the story also quoted the
companys president bragging about viewership thats the highest in the networks
history. For some reason, it didnt mention
that CNNs audience is still less than half that
of Fox.
But my main objection to that storys head-
line is the phrase Leader of the Free World.
The line first appeared in The New York
Times when I was 1 year old. An economist argued that the U.S., the leader of the
free world, should lead the fight against
Communism.
That made sense. The U.S. was and is the
worlds wealthiest and most powerful country.
But no president is leader of the free
world. Does President Trump lead Japan?
Iceland? Does he lead you?
Hes not my leader. The president leads one
of three branches of government. Hes commander in chief of the armed services. Hes
not leader of the free world.
The media obsess about Trumps speeches,
tweets and narcissistic behavior as if he were
king of the world. But even the president is
just one man in a very large bureaucracy.
There are legitimate reasons to worry about
what Trump might do. I worry that hell start
a trade war. Or a shooting war. Theres plenty
to worry about.
So why make things up?
If you worry that Trump will destroy your
way of life, the smartest thing to do is to
decrease the power of all presidents: Shrink
the executive branch back to the humble
role it had when the founders wrote the
Constitution.
Make sure Congress passes declarations
of war before the U.S. goes to war. Dont let
any president rule through executive orders.
Make sure Congress passes laws instead of
letting federal agencies write rules.
A presidents job is to execute laws. The
fewer and simpler those laws, the easier it will
be to prevent crazy things from happening.

Martins vision
made rec center
To the editor,
Over six years ago when the State of Kansas
closed our National Guard Armory, Mrs.
Martin acted on her vision to build a recreation
center for all citizens of Garnett and Anderson
County to use. She applied for and received
several large grants. Those grants plus many
very generous donations made it possible to
start converting the armory into a recreation
center.
It
has been
a work
in progress and
were
not through yet. However, we have a fine facility that accommodates upwards of 100 people
a day plus core-cardio, yoga and spin classes.
We have as many senior citizens working out
as we do the younger generation.
What would all these people be doing to
improve their health if they didnt have the
rec center?
Thank you, Mrs. Martin

Kansas Gas Prices Flat, While
Most of Nation Sees Increase
Average prices at gas pumps
across Kansas stayed the
same this week, at $2.11/gallon, according to AAA Kansas,
while across the country, 39
states saw prices increase
on average by three cents a
major swing from last week
when only nine states posted
more expensive gas prices on
the week. At $2.28, the national
gas price is three cents more
than a week ago, which is the
largest seven-day increase
since before Memorial Day.
At 17 cents less than the
national average, Kansas gas
prices are 11th lowest in the
country said AAA Kansas
spokesman Shawn Steward.
Whereas gas prices are
higher than theyve been at
points this summer, AAAs
Steward said, we are still in
a pretty good situation compared to the rest of America.
And there are still bargains to
be had. Motorists in 15 Kansas
communities are enjoying
average prices of $2 per gallon or less, and 160 Kansas cities are seeing gas prices at or
below the statewide average.
Of the 10 regularly reported
Kansas cities, half saw price
increases in the past week,
AAA Kansas notes. Salina
led the way with an 8-cent
increase. Average prices in
four communities declined, led
by Lawrence, which fell 8 cents
per gallon.
This weeks Kansas cities with the states gas price
extremes are:
HIGH: Kensington – $2.46
LOW: Galena – $1.93
Nationally, demand has
remained strong as gasoline
stocks dipped for a fifth consecutive week, driving up prices at
the pump.

Centennial
March 4, 1985-Several citizens in the Colony area are
busy planning that towns
centennial celebration. The
town of Colony passes its 100
year anniversary in April but
because that time is during the
busy farm season, has more
risky weather for festive events
and also school will still be in
session, the planners decided to
hold the event on the Saturday
before Labor Day, August 3l.
There will be a parade and
maybe an auto show, and various contests including a beard
contest and period costume
contest.
Around Town
All the kindness and support
to the family of Weldon Goodell
, his wife, Wilma Goodell
and children Bill, Marie,
Carolyn, Dean and families
was so much appreciated. The
Goodells are long time residents of Colony and Weldon
will be missed.
Sympathy is expressed
to Charlotte Swift and Dale
Swift at the death of her husband and Dales dad, Robert
Swift, 87. He passed away at
St. Lukes Hospital in Kansas
City. Funeral service was held
Saturday, July 15 at the Colony
Community Church followed
by burial at Colony Cemetery.
ANDERSON
un-Godly, but…!
In Hebrews 9:27, the writer
tells us that; Man is destined
to die once and then after that
to face judgment. Anyone
with a casual knowledge of
the Bible is bound to have
heard this statement. What
this statement does not say
but is plainly stated in the
Bible as well is that there are
two ways to die. We can die in
faith or we can die in our sins.
If we die in faith that means
we die trusting our very eternal destiny in the hands of
the Living God. However,
having faith is more than
believing in God. We read in
James 2:19; You believe that
there is one God. Good! Even
the demons believe that and
shudder. The Bible does not
go into great detail to define
faith. All that is said is contained in Hebrews 11:1; Now
faith is being sure of what
we hope for and certain of
what we do not see. We
are told in Ephesians 2:8; that
faith is a gift of God. We
are given some direction concerning faith in Romans 2:17;
Consequently, faith comes
from hearing the message,
and the message is heard
through the word of Christ.
In Numbers 21:4-9 we
see faith in action. Israel
is wandering in the wilderness and became discouraged
with God and spoke against
God and the Lord sent fiery
serpents among them. And
they bit the people and many
Israelites died. (Numbers
21:6) Moses sought the Lord
for the people and he (God)
heard them and gave them

a remedy against the bite of
the serpents. He commanded
Moses to make a serpent of
brass and put it upon a pole
in sight of all the people so
anyone who was bitten could
look at it and live. So Moses
made a bronze snake and put
it up on a pole. Then when
anyone was bitten by a snake
and looked at the bronze
snake he lived. (21;9)
In the New Testament
Jesus in John 3:14-15; refers
to this incident and says;
Just as Moses lifted up the
snake in the desert, so the
Son of Man must be lifted up,
that everyone who believes in
him may have eternal life.
A. W. Tozer said,, Looking
on the Old Testament serpent
is identical with believing on
the New Testament Christ.
We need both our eyes and
our heart. If we fix our gaze
on Jesus, God will do the
work required in our hearts.
We are told in Hebrews 12:2;
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,
the author and perfecter of
our faith.
If we die in our sins we die
alone without Jesus. In the
Sermon on the Mount Jesus
taught that sin lies within a
persons attitude rather than
in his actions. Thus, the person with the sinful attitude
has separated himself from
God. Once we die our destiny
is fixed. Christ died for the
ungodly, but he didnt die for
us to remain ungodly.

HISTORY
1997 – High Wheat Yields Boosts Economy
10 years ago….
Interim Garnett City Manager
Joyce Martin accepted the
appointment to full time managers post last week after a
six-month search to replace
former manager Rick Doran
came up empty handed. Martin
was offered the position when
Doran announced his retirement but denied the post
because she was planning her
own retirement in the next few
years. Martin says she had a
change in her personal plans
and signed a one-year contract
to accept the position.
20 years ago….
Calls came flooding in at the
newspaper office last Monday
about a blimp which could be
seen over Anderson County.
Believe it or not, it really was a
blimp. Russell Stover Candies
celebrated its grand opening in
Iola and in doing so, brought
one of its two promotional
blimps to the Iola area. It floated over Anderson County at
about 1,500 feet raising the eyebrows of hundreds of locals.
30 years ago….
Anderson County District
Court Judge James Smith acted
on his own precedent when
he dismissed a case against
a Miami County man charged
with burglary, theft, and criminal destruction on the basis
that no attorney would serve

as his public defendant for the
payment offered by the state.
Smith based his decision on
the previous cases of Wallace
and Buckridge. In that case,
Smith ruled that court appointed counsel must receive adequate compensation for time
and services involving an
indigent defendant case, and
allowed attorneys to refuse to
serve and the case to be dismissed if proper compensation
was not offered. State Attorney
General Robert Stephan called
for a writ of mandamus to be
issued by the State Supreme
Court against Judge Smith to
rescind his decision.
40 years ago….
A U.S. District Court Judge
in Kansas City, Mo., issued a
restraining order prohibiting
the Federal Power Commission
from curtailing natural gas
deliveries by the Cities Service
Company. The order enjoins
the FPC from implementing a
decision issued in June that
would limit gas deliveries by
Cities Service to a level that
satisfies the needs of customers. Cities Services sells natural gas to the City of Garnett
for distribution to local customers. The order will be in
effect at least until Saturday
and probably will be extended
until a full hearing can be held
in federal court.
100 years ago….
Wasps are in one respect more
civilized than any other insect
or animal. Though it has been
thought that man is the only
tool using animal, there is
one species of wasp, ammophila, that uses a little pebble
to pound down the earth over
her nest. She takes the pebble
in her mandibles, as you or I
would take a stone in our hand,
and uses it as a hammer to
pound down the soil above the
cavity that holds her egg. This
is a remarkable fact. So far
that we know there is no other
animal on the continent that
makes any mechanical use of
an object or substance foreign
to its own body.
Leanderthal Lady lived
over 10,000 years ago
Kay and I just returned
from spending a few days
with our daughter Lori and
grand-daughter Cassie in
Texas.
One day while going shopping, about two miles from
our daughters home, I spotted a Historical Marker along
the highway. It was just too
hot to stop and read it, but
you know me, the first thing
I did after arriving back at
the house was spend my time
researching that marker on
my I-pad.
Have you ever heard of the
Leanderthal Lady? This
prehistoric womans burial
site was discovered in 19821983, at the Wilson-Leonard
Brushy Creek Site near Cedar
Park, Tx. It was found during
construction by the Texas
Dept. of Transportation.
Carbon dating of her skeletal remains suggests that
LeAnne lived over 10,00013,000 years ago.
The human female skeleton was approximately 18-30
years old at death. She was

found with her arms cradling
her head and her knees drawn
upward. She was approximately 5 3 tall with a full set
of teeth. At sometime during
her life she had broken her
collarbone.
She was immediately dubbed
Leanderthal Lady, because
of the proximity of her grave
site to the town of Leander,
Texas.
Also discovered in her grave
was a round grinding stone of
reddish sandstone. There was
also a sharks tooth, believed
to have been worn around
her neck and a small rodents
jawbone was found in or near
her stomach.
On Jan.9, 1983, the
Neanderthal Ladys skeleton
was removed from her burial
pit grave and sent into the
lab where scientists can learn
more about pre-historic people.
There are only 10 archaeological sites, 9,000 years and
older, that contained human
remains. Only 3 sites out
of the 10 have a definite disposition of burial of a body,
and the Leanderthal Lady
is one of them.
Now you have learned a
little Texas History, just like
I did!

Historical Society Explores Mont Idas Past
The
Anderson
County
Historical Society met at
the Mont Ida Church of the
Brethren fellowship hall on
Thursday July 6th, 2017 at 6:30
p.m. President Kristie Kinney
led the Lords Prayer, followed
by a carry-in dinner enjoyed by
34 members and guests.
Following the business
meeting, Shirley Roeckers
presented a pictorial history
of Mont Ida. The towns most
prosperous years were from
1890 to 1925. In 1893, Mont Ida
had 11 businesses. Businesses
during its heyday included the
railroad depot, a hotel, a general store, a telegraph office,
Swarthout Hardware, a livery
barn which later housed Herb
Ratliffs Garage and the towns
first gas station, Lowrys store,
Holly Hitchcocks store, a post
office, and Duncans General
Merchandise. Dr. Claib Harris,
Sr. built a two room doctors
office where he practiced medicine from 1906 to 1910, prior to
moving to Garnett. The medical
office later housed the telephone
switchboard. Pictures also featured the Mont Ida Bank from
1911-1933, the original Mont Ida
Church of the Brethren, and the
original 1881 school building.
When the school burned in 1928,
it was replaced with a two story
brick building that was in use
until last school year. A Mont
Ida School Reunion was well
attended in 2016.
The steam engine trains
stopped in Mont Ida for refueling with water and coal. Crystal
Lake, covering 11 acres, was
built east of town in 1881 for
the water supply. In 1910 a new
pumping station supplied water
from cedar creek and the lake
was drained. With the construction of the coal chute in 1920,
Mont Ida served the railroad
for many years. The railroad
enabled Mont Ida to develop as
an important shipping center
for crops and livestock.
Churches have always been
an important part of the community. Church of the Brethren
was served by pastors Rev.
Charles Miller, Rev. Ralph
Loshbaugh, and Rev. Kenneth
Davidson. Vernon Yoder currently serves as pastor, and the
church fellowship hall accommodates many community
events. The Methodist Episcopal
Church was dedicated in 1885,
and services were held until
the 1950s. The Amish community opened the South District
Sunday School House there in
1961.
A blacksmith shop was the
last business on the south end
of Main Street. Sidewalks are
the only reminders of the once
bustling business community in
the prairie town of 125 residents.
The
historical
society
invites all who are interested
in the preservation of Anderson
County history to attend dinner
programs the first Thursday of
the month and tour the museum
Tuesday through Fridays, 1:00
to 4:00 p.m. Monthly meeting
announcements are made in the
local newspapers.

Kellerman 50th Anniversary
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 07-25-2017 / Photo Submitted
Darrel and Mary Anna
(Creutzmeyer)
Kellerman
invite friends and family to
celebrate their 50th wedding
anniversary at a casual, comeand-go reception on August 5th
from 2 to 4 p.m. at Susanna
Wesley United Methodist
Church, 7433 SW 29th St., in
Topeka.
The couple met at Kansas
State Teachers College in
Emporia, and devoted their
careers to public education.
Over the years, they lived
in several towns in Kansas,
including Garnett, where
Darrel was a high school principal and Mary Anna was a
substitute teacher.
Since retiring, the couple
remains very active in church
and community organizations,
including the Topeka Rescue
Mission and Caw Valley
Woodcarvers and are also
enthusiastic grandparents of
two-year old grand-twins,
Quinn and Avery.
Their son, Daren, lives in
Ottawa with his wife, Jennifer
(and the twins). Their daughter, Tonya, lives in Seattle with
her husband, Dan.
Cards may be sent to them
at 5820 SW 33rd St. Topeka, KS

VOLUNTEERS…
FROM PAGE 1
stations on their own time
checking equipment and
starting vehicles to make sure
everything is ready to go in
the event of an emergency.
Volunteer firefighters are
important, but if they dont
train on the equipment and
know how to safely operate on
scene, theyre at a higher risk
of getting injured or killed,
said Mersman. Members
must be 18 years of age to join
and be of sound mental and
physical health. He says being
a volunteer doesnt keep the
volunteers from seeing and
doing things that a full-time
fireman would experience.
The stations in Anderson
County receive between $50 to
$75 per call or training event
depending on how many volunteers attend. The money
goes to the station, but not
the individual volunteers.
Garnett Firefighters are a bit
different and each volunteer
receives an amount per call
due to a contract between the
City of Garnett and Anderson
County.
Each volunteer is eligible
for a $25,000 life insurance
police of which 85 percent of
the annual premium is paid
for by the local Firefighters
Relief Association. The policy provides 24 hour coverage,
meaning that the death does
not have to occur during a fire
department event.
There are volunteer stations in Harris, Greeley,
Garnett,
Bush
City,
Westphalia, Welda, Colony,
and Kincaid. All of the stations are looking for new
members, but they do ask that
volunteers live within a reasonable distance to the station
to allow for the best response
times.
Mersman says anyone
who is interested in becoming a volunteer can contact
the Emergency Management
office at 785-448-6797. All volunteers are subject to a background review and reference
checks.
PROTECTORS…

appliances into those protectors. Troy added, The surge
protectors that the city offers
is only one part of the overall
protection that I have at my
house.
Residents who want city
workers to install a meter surge
protector are billed for the
devices separately from their
monthly utility statements.
Anyone interested can contact
the city at (785) 448-5496.
Dialogue important between
farmers and local consumers
More often than wed like to
admit we sometimes shoot ourselves in the foot when talking
about the challenges we face in
farming and ranching. These
conversations with friends,
neighbors and family take
place at the local caf, filling
station, after church or Friday
evening ball games.
During these visits, farmers and ranchers sometimes
conclude that consumers and
non-aggies dont like them.
Or, their urban acquaintances
dont listen to them or care one
iota about raising crops or caring for livestock.
Most people dont need to
know much about farming
today. They probably think
about agriculture less than 30
seconds a year and 20 seconds
of that time is based on misinformation.
Why should they?
Do farmers and ranchers
wonder what a Detroit automaker does? Who he or she is?
And what about their family?
While non-farm and ranch
people harbor misconceptions
about agriculture, believe me,
they like farmers and ranchers.
INSIGHT
JOHN SCHLAGECK, Kansas Farm Bureau
They admire this profession.
Its important to bridge this
informational gap between
farm and ranch producers and
consumers. But navigate this
divide skillfully.
No one wants to be educated
or preached to. Humans like to
engage in conversations. They
like give and take. Usually, if a
person is knowledgeable about
a profession like raising cattle, another person who doesnt
know about the livestock industry may be curious and willing
to listen.
And while no one understands agriculture like farmers
and ranchers, we must encourage and foster dialogues with
those who know little about
this profession. This includes
people outside our comfort
zone someone we may not
talk to about what we do like
city cousins, foodies, medics,
lawyers, etc.
Take the opportunity to conduct such conversations on a
flight to another state or country. Develop dialogue with people at a professional meeting,
just about anywhere and with
anyone who isnt savvy about
agriculture.
Times continue to change
and so do attitudes and opinions. Forty years ago, people
expressed little interest in agriculture.
As a fledgling photo journalist in the mid-1970s, I cant
remember someone asking me
about agriculture at a social
event. This just didnt happen even though many of my
friends knew I worked in journalism and wrote about farming and ranching.
Agriculture wasnt hip, cool
or fly back then. Today the
tables have turned and people
are quite interested in where
their food comes from. They

The 64th annual Kellerman
family reunion was held
July 9, 2017 at Kelley Park in
Burlington, Kansas hosted by
the David and Edna Donovan
Family.
The late Ed and Belle
Kellerman were parents of 14
children. Nine are still living.
This year, three of the nine
children were present with
most of their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren
and great-great grandchildren.
Brother Bill Kellerman
and sister Ina Belle Railsback
was unable to attend due to
health reasons. There were
72 in attendance this year.
Following the meal, prizes
were given to the children
guessing the correct number
of candies in the jar. Tickets
were handed out to the adults
as they signed in for the door
prizes.
Ina Railsback of College
Station Texas sent up some
questions about herself to ask
the first-generation cousins
that were present. It took five
questions before Maverick
Cole could answer one cor-
dening enthusiast.

The resurgence of downtowns should be a priority for all communities
I have enjoyed a number of
books, webinars and blogs by
Roger Brooks, who is a top-rated
speaker on the subjects of tourism and downtowns. He has
an upcoming webinar on July
19th entitled, The Resurgence
of Downtowns – Priority #1. It
is a free webinar that you can
sign up for at www.rogerbrooksinternational.com. If you are
someone wanting to start a
business, grow a current business, or interested in supporting the development of quality
of life projects in Garnett, I
encourage you to read the following blog from Roger Brooks
and sign up for the free webinar. While I may agree that
not every concept outlined in
this blog below is one-hundred
percent adaptable to Garnett,
I hope that it starts a positive conversation of what you
desire your city to be. Every
good idea was conceived from a
positive conversation.
Is Your Downtown Open After
6 p.m.?
By Roger Brooks
While we are moving to the
European standard for downtown experiences, including
dining and shopping later in
the evenings, most downtowns
in North America havent
adapted. More than ever, people
want to spend time downtown
after work and school, during
the evening hours. Locals and
visitors want to be able to
wind down from their day with
later dining, shopping, and
entertainment. They want to
be in one central, vibrant area
where they can find all of these
activities within walking distance. They want to be able to
live, work and play downtown
without having to get in their
cars between activities.
Here are the downtown
trends that create experiences
for both locals and visitors:
Locals and visitors are eating later in the evenings
Everyone wants a pedestrian-friendly, intimate, safe setting
Streets kept lively with
musicians, artisans, vendors,
food trucks and open-air markets
Plazas have long been a
European city fixture adopting this key city element with
programming has become a
sure way to have year-round
activity and maintain vendors
Adopting a mix of specialty food and beverage retailers,
with merchandise like: organic
foods, fresh cuts of meat and
unique bakery goods, in place
of traditional stores
Entertainment
venues:
movies, performing arts, pubs
and nightlife
Options for those moving
into or staying downtown:
hotels, loft apartments above
shops, town houses, and condominiums
Narrower streets and wider
sidewalks
Tree-lined streets (planted every 35 feet or 10 meters)
that create a beautiful setting,
a sense of intimacy, a connection with the environment,
and shade during the warmer
months.
Public markets are shifting
their hours to stay open during
the evening hours
In the past, businesses and
Research has found that
if you extend your operating
duration by just 2 hours, the
average retailer works 20%
less. Profits will always exceed
any increase in expenses.
Fixed costs remain the
same, do not increase based on
additional hours open.
Shop Local programs
ONLY work if you are open
during convenient, later in the
day, hours.
Visitors will stay in town
for the night if there are things
to do late after 6:00pm.
It makes you a desirable
place for the Creative Class to
live, work, invest and play.
There are a number of strategies that will make the transition to staying open later, easier to accomplish:
Create a Shared Employee
program that would hire
employees full-time and manage a schedule of a few hours at
a number of businesses during
one shift, to accommodate special schedule needs of businesses without having to hire too
many employees.
Work with a local tempo-
tion of beginning farmers and
ranchers, as well as women
and minorities. This is your
opportunity to have a say in
how federal programs are
delivered in your county.
To be eligible to serve on an
FSA county committee, a person must participate or cooperate in an agency administered program, and reside in
the local administrative area
where the election is being
held. A complete list of eligibility requirements, more
information and nomination
forms are available at http://
www.fsa.usda.gov/elections.
All nominees must sign
the nomination form FSA669A. All nomination forms
for the 2017 election must be
postmarked or received in
the local FSA county office
by Aug. 1, 2017. Ballots will
be mailed to eligible voters by
Nov. 6 and are due back to the
local USDA Service Centers
on Dec. 4. The newly elected
county committee members
will take office Jan. 1, 2018.
MANHATTAN – U.S.
Department of Agriculture
(USDA) Kansas Farm Service
Agency (FSA) Acting State
Executive Director (SED)
Jack Salava reminds farmers and ranchers that they
have until Aug. 1 to enroll in
Agriculture Risk Coverage
(ARC) and/or Price Loss
Coverage (PLC) programs
for the 2017 crop year. These
programs trigger financial
protections for participating
agricultural producers when
market forces cause substantial drops in crop prices or
revenues.
Producers have already
elected ARC or PLC, but to
receive program benefits
they must enroll for the
2017 crop year by signing a
contract before the Aug. 1
deadline, said Acting SED
Salava. Please contact your
local FSA office to schedule
an appointment if you have
not yet enrolled.
Covered
commodities
under the programs include
barley, canola, large and
small chickpeas, corn, crambe, flaxseed, grain sorghum,
lentils, mustard seed, oats,
peanuts, dry peas, rapeseed,
long grain rice, medium
grain rice (which includes
short grain and sweet rice),
safflower seed, sesame, soybeans, sunflower seed and
wheat.
For more program information, contact your local
FSA office or visit www.fsa.

your local FSA office, visit

Hulcy says she hopes to start
two additional programs soon,
if enough donations can fund
them. They will include a Life
Skills program that will teach
things like how to budget, how
to make a resume, and how to
interview for a job. The other
program she hopes to start is
Earn While You Learn. That
program helps educate young
families with tips and tricks
for raising toddlers. Hulcy is
in hopes the community will
help start and support these
programs as well.

Shift your hours. Open later
(maybe around 11:00 a.m.) to
stay open later and not increase
operation hours.

Your downtown has the
potential to be a major draw
during evening hours, if it
can modify its business mix,
pedestrian setting and hours
of operation. Not only will this
increase downtown spending,
it will improve quality of life,
increase overnight stays and
become a catalyst for even

Kansas Producers Have Until
August 1 to Submit FSA County
Committee Nominations
MANHATTAN The U.S.
Department of Agriculture
(USDA) Farm Service Agency
(FSA) Acting Executive
Director for Kansas, Jack
Salava, today reminded farmers and ranchers that they
have until Aug. 1, 2017, to
nominate eligible candidates
to serve on local FSA county
committees.
County committees are
made up of farmers and ranchers elected by other producers
in their communities to guide
the delivery of farm programs
at the local level. Committee
members play a critical role
in the day-to-day operations
of FSA. Committees consist of
three to 11 members and meet
once a month or as needed
to make important decisions
on disaster and conservation
programs, emergency programs, commodity price support loan programs, county
office employment and other
agricultural issues. Members
serve three-year terms.
Nationwide there are over
7,700 farmer and ranchers
serving on FSA county committees.
The Aug. 1 deadline is
quickly approaching, said
Salava. If you know of a
great candidate or want to
nominate yourself to serve
on your local county committee, go to your county FSA
office right now and submit
the nomination form. I especially encourage the nomina-
malls were closed on Sundays
and during the evening hours.
Today developers understand
the importance of open-air
shopping areas that are open
for business seven days a week
from 10 in the morning until
9 or 10 at night. Destination
Resorts can also follow this
model with an orchestrated
business mix and leases that
define consistent daily operating hours. Rural downtowns
can also reap the benefits of
staying open later hours, with
a shift to staying open at least
until 8:00 p.m.
BIG reasons you should stay
open later (at least until 9:00
p.m. for urban areas and 8:00
p.m. for rural areas):
The overwhelming majority of all non-lodging visitor
spending takes place in a
pedestrian-friendly setting that
includes shopping, dining &
entertainment.
75% of ALL retail sales in
the U.S. take place between
4:00pm and midnight.

FAIR
Garnetts very own Arthur Capper played a key role in the creation of 4-H
BY SUSAN WETTSTEIN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
This is fair week. A time
to celebrate and enjoy all the
great festivities, food and
entertainment the county
fair provides. It is a time
to thank those
who dedicate
their
valuable time and
effort to teach
the up and
coming generations about
4-H.
While what
you
may
think of when
talking about
the fair is the
bright lights
on the carnivals Ferris
wheel at night; or the display
of horses, floats and tractors
that circle the stadium for
the parade, 4-H is the heart
of every county fair and
state fair across the United
States. And guess where the
idea of such an organized
4-H Club began? A club
that positively influences
over 6 million (6,000,000)
youth annually?
Thats
right. You can thank someone from Garnett, Kansas.
A young man named
Arthur Capper was born
and
raised in Garnett.
Growing up in this rural
Kansas town he learned the
value of his agricultural surroundings. He graduated
from Garnett High School.
During his high school
years he was a typesetter
at the Garnett Plaindealer

now open for the 2017 Kansas
4-H Livestock Sweepstakes
scheduled for Aug. 19-20 in
Manhattan. The event is hosted
by the Kansas State University
Department of Animal Sciences
and Industry.
All Kansas 4-Hers are invited to participate in this livestock learning and competition
experience. 4-Hers can test
their knowledge in livestock
judging, meat judging, livestock skillathon and livestock
quiz bowl. Prizes will be given
in each contest, with the addition of overall sweepstakes
buckles to the team and individual performing the best in
all four contests.
Online registration information has been sent to county
extension agents in Kansas. All
entries must be made through
local extension offices and are

Review). He went on to be
the owner of the largest publishing company west of the
Mississippi River during
his lifetime. He married
Florence Crawford, daughter of Kansas Governor
Samuel Crawford. Thus,
Arthur ran
for
office
himself and
became the
states 20th
Governor
and the first
native-born
Kansan to
be elected
governor
(1915).
He
went on to
serve Kansas
in the U.S.
Senate for
five terms.
We can spout this statistical
information to you and go on
and on about Arthurs amazing career, but it is really
what he did during his time
as Senator that brings us
back to 4-H.
During
his
time
as a senator, Arthur
Capper was
known as a
leader for
the farming states.
He established the
first boys
corn clubs
in the West.
He was instrumental in the
creation of 4-H through his
promotion of pigs and canning clubs. He then used
his position as Senator to
push through legislation.
The Capper-Ketchum Act
provided for permanent federal funds for 4-H through
agricultural
extension.
Arthur Capper didnt stop
there when it came to agricultural legislation. The
Capper-Volstead Act of 1922
is often called the Magna
Carta of farm cooperatives.
The Capper-Tincher Act of
1922 provided federal government regulation of grain
futures trading and exchanges and later included other
commodities. His work as a
leader and friend of agriculture continued throughout
his political career.
When you ask someone if theyve ever heard
of Arthur Capper they may
know the name from the
current Capper-Easter Seals
Foundation, or the Capper
Weekly and the Farmers
Almanac. When you drive
into Garnett you see his
name on a highway sign
and wonder what is that all
about? If you get
the chance, pick
up our brochure
on Arthur Capper
or view it on our
website and read
about his life.
Of all the
things
Arthur
Capper was passionate about in
life, helping children reach their
full
potential
meant the most.
He awarded college scholarships to 4-H members.
He established a loan program for youth to purchase
pigs or poultry. His later

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, July 25, 2017
4-H project helps build knowledge,
respect for Kansas geology
TOPEKA More than 300
Kansans roused their curiosity of science and in the process got a close-up look at some
of what makes up their home
state during the 4-H Geology
Field Trip, held recently just
east of Topeka.
I think interest in science is
something that my generation
does not always appreciate, so
seeing so many
young people getting interested in
the geology project is amazing,
said 17-year-old
Brendan Burnett,
a high school
senior
from
Wichita.
For many, the
highlight of the
weekend
was
a chance to get into the dirt
and search for hidden treasures rocks, minerals and fossils were the items of choice.
Volunteers helped kids identify
their finds, many of which are
destined for 4-Hers county and
state fair exhibits.
It was a very positive, helpful learning environment, said
Amy Sollock the Southwest
Area 4-H youth development
specialist, who helped organize
the event. All of the volunteers
are extremely knowledgeable
and friendly, which is helpful
to many 4-H members and their
parents who may know very
little about geology.
The state trip is important
to many 4-Hers because several counties in Kansas do not
have the expertise or resources
to offer a local geology proj-
ect. Its a highlight for many
4-Hers, who bring along a parent and sometimes even the
whole family to participate in
the archaeological digs. Sollock
said this years participants
ranged in age from 7 to 80.
I think many of the older
kids in the project, especially
if they have been in the project
for several years, find it very
interesting
to
learn
about
the geology of
Kansas,
Burnett
said. If
you go
to
the
Kansas
S t a t e
Fair (in September), it is cool
to see all the amazing collections geology members have
put together during their years
in 4-H.
David Goldak works as
a geologist in the oil and gas
industry in Kansas. He is also
a 4-H volunteer for the geology
project who says he gives his
time because he enjoys seeing
kids and adults excitement for
earth science.
One of my college professors once said that geology is
the most intellectually interesting natural science, and I firmly believe that, Goldak said.
I enjoy seeing 4-H members
throughout the state, year after
year, from an early age through
their upper teens, expanding
their knowledge of geology and
perfecting their exhibits. My
Good luck to
2×3

most refreshing motivation
comes from those young people
who have gone on to become
earth science and natural science professionals and teachers.
Sollock said the trip is an
excellent STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) opportunity. The 4-H
geology project is so scientific
I really felt like we were discovering artifacts but its historical, as well, she said. The
history nerd in me was excited,
learning about what took place
thousands of years ago to leave
such specimens behind.
In addition to collecting artifacts for their exhibits, Sollock
said 4Hers and their families
attended workshops and participated in contests focused on
geology.
The overall impact on the
participants varies greatly, but
everyone comes away with at
least a basic knowledge of earth
science and a respect for the
lands on which we collect and
for the landowners who provide the opportunity, Goldak
said.
Not only is it fun to collect
different specimens, it is also
fun to study geology, Burnett
said. I know several 4-Hers or
former 4-Hers who have turned
their interest in geology into a
career.
He added: I always look forward to hunting for a new fossil, rock, or mineral. I am not
sure if I will study geology in
college, but wherever I travel I
will always find the geology of
the area interesting and it will
always be one of my hobbies.

Spider mites causing big headaches
for gardeners and how to control them
Reduce the risk of Salmonella
infection from live poultry
MANHATTAN- While the
extremely hot weather may
be giving your garden plants
a case of the blahs, they
may also be fighting a nearly
invisible pet problem.
Spider mites are tiny
dark-colored creatures that
live on the undersides of plant
leaves. Neither insects nor
arachnids, these arthropods
get the spider in their name
from the protective webbing
they create when they start
feeding on the leaves.
An early symptom associated with spider mite damage
is referred to a stippling and/
or speckling, said Raymond
Cloyd, K-State Research
and Extension specialist in
horticultural entomology,
because spider mites feed on
the chlorophyll of plants, thus
removing the green content.
As the infestation progresses, the plant will begin
to look droopy its leaves
will be limp, hanging, with
a wilted appearance. Larger
TOPEKA, Kan. The Kansas
Department of Health and
Environment (KDHE), the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC), the U.S.
Department of Agriculture
(USDA), and many other state
health departments are investigating multiple outbreaks of
human Salmonella infections
linked to contact with live poultry. As of July 13, 2017, 790 people infected with the outbreak
strains of Salmonella, including 12 persons from Kansas,
have been reported nationwide.
These outbreaks are ongoing,
with case counts expected to
increase. More information
about the nationwide outbreaks can be found on CDCs
website (https://www.cdc.gov/
zoonotic/gi/outbreaks/livepoultry.html).
Disease investigation and
laboratory findings link the
outbreaks to contact with live
poultry, such as chicks and
ducklings, which come from
several hatcheries. Live baby
poultry has been acquired from
various sources including feed
supply stores, websites, and
stems might even be leaning
to one side.
The easiest way to test for
spider mites is to use a blank,
white piece of printer paper.
Hold the paper under a leaf,
and then tap the stem of the
leave with your finger. Dont
shake the leaf just tap it. If
small black specks fall onto
the paper, watch for movement; if they move, you have
spider mites.
Cloyds first suggestion is
to try to dislodge the mites
with a forceful spray of water.
Because the mites hang out on
the undersides of the leaves,
youll have to bend the leaves
back, or use a garden hose
attachment that allows you to
invert the nozzle. The water
pressure should be strong,
but not so hard that it tears
the leaves.
Chemical controls are effective on spider mites you
can choose organic or synthetic formulas. Persistence
is the key to payoff, Cloyd
said.
On the organic side, insecticidal soaps or horticultural
oils will work, said Cloyd.
However, you have to have
thorough coverage of all plant
parts especially leaf undersides. Repeat applications
will be required.
Commercially available
miticides are also effective,
but the same rules apply:
cover all plant parts, and
make several applications for
an effective treatment.
More details can be found
in the K-State Research
and Extension publication,
Twospotted Spider Mite:
Management in Greenhouses
and Nurseries.

hatcheries.
Contact with live poultry
and the areas where they live
and roam can make people,
especially young children, the
elderly, and people with weakened immune systems, sick
with Salmonella infections
even when the birds appear
healthy and clean. People can
be exposed through direct
contact with the birds and by
touching surfaces where they
live. This includes cages, feed,
bedding and water bowls. It
is particularly important to
wash hands thoroughly with
soap and water after handling
or caring for any live poultry.
This, along with careful cleaning of equipment and materials
associated with raising or caring for live poultry, will help to
reduce the risk of infection.
To reduce the risk of
Salmonella infection from live
poultry:
DO
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water right
after touching live poultry or
any surface in the areas where
they live and roam. Use hand
sanitizer if soap and water are
not readily available. Adults
should supervise hand washing for young children.
Stay outdoors when cleaning any equipment or materials
used to raise or care for live
poultry, such as cages or feed
and water containers.
DONT
Dont let children younger than 5 years of age, older
adults, or people with weakened immune systems handle
or touch chicks, ducklings, or
other live poultry.
Dont snuggle or kiss the
birds, touch your mouth, or eat
or drink around live poultry.
Dont let live poultry inside
the house, in bathrooms, or
especially in areas where food
or drink is prepared, served,
or stored, such as kitchens or
outdoor patios.
Dont eat or drink in the
area where the birds live or
roam.
If you experience any symptoms of Salmonella infection
such as diarrhea, fever, and
abdominal cramps consult
with a healthcare provider.

WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S.
Senator Pat Roberts (R-Kan.)
today said his provision
expanding access to G.I. Bill
funds to veterans pursuing
degrees in agriculture and
natural resource sciences was
included in key bipartisan legislation called the Harry W.
Colmery Veterans Educational
Assistance Act introduced by
Veterans Committee Chairman
Senator Johnny Isakson
(R-Ga.).
I have worked hard to help
establish a new science and
technology-based economy in
Kansas based on biological and
life sciences research, Roberts
said. We need to bolster our
workforce with those trained
in agriculture sciences and
in natural resource sciences.
The demand for these skill sets
is there. If we can help our
veterans study these sciences,
they can be a part of this growing economy. I am thankful to
Senator Isakson for his leadership and willingness to work
with me to give veteran students the resources they need
to do just that.
The Harry W. Colmery
Veterans
Educational
Assistance Act of 2017 makes
much-needed updates for
reservists, Purple Heart recipients, veterans who face school
closures while enrolled, and
surviving family members.
The legislation also provides
increased resources and
authority for educational assistance to pursue science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programs,
computer programming, and
career technical training. A
one-page summary of the legislation can be found here.
Specifically, Roberts provision expands the definition of
STEM eligible programs within the bill to include agriculture and natural resource sciences.
Senator Roberts, Chairman
of the Senate Committee
on Agriculture, Nutrition
and Forestry, requested the
inclusion of these additional sciences following testimony before the Agriculture
Committee by Dr. John Floros,
Kansas State Universitys
Dean of Agriculture and
Director of K-State Research
and Extension. Dean Floros
said: We support initiatives
to enhance the number of students selecting agriculture and
related disciplines for their university training. We encourage
the Committee to explore avenues so that the next Farm Bill
can raise national awareness
of and authorization to begin to
tackle this challenge of worldwide food security.
To recognize the benefits for
veterans to study these fields,
Dr. Pat Bosco, Vice President
for Student Life at Kansas State
University said: This legislation would be a huge opportunity for Veterans to attend
higher education in this country. At Kansas State University
in the past year, we served over
1,000 veterans who used their
benefits. As a land grant university, we believe it is our mission to provide access to higher
education and legislation such
as this provides access to a valued group of students.
The legislation is named
in honor of Emporia, Kansas,
native Harry Walter Colmery,
an Army Air Service veteran
and former national commander of the American Legion who
drafted the original G.I. Bill in
1944 to improve the transition
for World War II veterans back
to civilian life.
The Harry W. Colmery
Veterans
Educational
Assistance Act of 2017 is also

Not
enough bidders
AT YOUR RECENT AUCTION?
If youve recently heard about people being
dissatisfied with the results of their auction or
estate/farm sale, it may be because their auctioneer didnt put their advertisement in front
of people who have money to spend. You want
BUYERS at your auction… not GAWKERS!
The Anderson County Review has the LARGEST PAID CIRCULATION of any publication
read in this area. People BUY the Review
because they intend to READ it not like
junk mail and they have the DISPOSABLE
INCOME to be the kind of audience you want
at your auction. Add The Trading Post and total
29,000 readers along Hwy 59 from Lawrence
to Anderson County.
Tell your auctioneer to put your ad in front of
the bidders with the buying power to make
your sale a huge success advertise it in the
Review!

Tips to help local residents protect Duplicate bridge was played
self during current extreme heat
Following the heat advisory issued by the National
Weather Service for your local
area, the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services
(HHS) reminds local residents
about steps they should take to
protect their health from the
extreme heat.
People suffering from heat
stress may experience heavy
sweating; weakness; cold, pale,
and clammy skin; fast, weak
pulse; and nausea or vomiting. Early signs include muscle cramps, heat rash, fainting
or near-fainting spells, and
a pulse or heart rate greater
than 100.
People suffering from heat
stress should be moved to a
cooler location to lie down.
Apply cool, wet cloths to the
body especially to head, neck,
arm pits and upper legs near
the groin area where combined
70 percent of body heat can be
lost; and have the person sip
water. They should remain in
the cool location until recovered with a pulse heart rate is
well under 100 beats per minute.
Signs of the most severe
heat-related illness, heat
stroke, include a body temperature above 103 degrees
Fahrenheit; hot, red, dry or
moist skin; rapid and strong
pulse; and altered mental status which can range from confusion and agitation to uncon-
sciousness. Call 911 immediately and take steps to cool the
person.
While children are especially vulnerable to heat illnesses, they may be unable to
explain what is wrong but may
act differently than usual. In
extreme heat, consider changes in a childs behavior to be
heat stress.
Similarly, people with
communication-related disabilities may have difficulty
expressing a heat-related problem. In extreme heat, look for a
change in behavior as a sign of
heat stress.
Older adults face additional
risk of heat stress and heat
stroke, for a variety of reasons. The National Institute
on Agings fact sheet explains
more about how extreme heat
can affect seniors.
To help prevent heat-related
illness:
Spend time in locations
with air-conditioning when
possible.
Drink plenty of fluids. Good
choices are water and diluted
sport electrolyte drinks (1 part
sport drink to 2 parts water)
unless told otherwise by a doctor.
Choose
lightweight,
light-colored,
loose-fitting
clothing
Limit outdoor activity to
morning and evening hours
As air conditioning use
increases, electrical grids can
become overwhelmed causing power outages. In power
outages, people who rely on
electricity-dependent medical
devices, like oxygen concentrators, may need assistance
so check on family members,
friends and neighbors who use
this type of equipment.
Community organizations
and businesses can help local
emergency managers and
health departments plan for
the communitys health needs
amid the summer heat and
other emergency situations
that cause power outages
using the HHS emPOWER
Map. The HHS emPOWER
Map provides the monthly
total number of Medicare beneficiaries claims for electricity-dependent equipment at the
national, state, territory, county, and zip code levels.
For more information
about how to prevent heat-related illnesses visit the HHS
public health emergency preparedness website at http://
emergency.cdc.gov/disasters/
extremeheat/.

SAMHSA Awards KDADS
Grant to Continue Work on
Homelessness, Mental Illness
TOPEKA The Kansas
Department
for
Aging
and Disability Services
(KDADS) Behavioral Health
Commission has been awarded a $1.7 million grant to continue its work with homeless
individuals
experiencing
mental illness. The grant is
provided by the Substance
Abuse and Mental Health
Services
Administration
(SAMHSA), under the federal Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS).
This is a wonderful opportunity for Kansas, said
KDADS Secretary Tim Keck.
Our agency is committed to
the development of effective
ways to address homelessness, mental illness and substance abuse, and this program allows us to do that at
the grass-roots level.
SAMHSA has designated Kansas as a Cooperative
Agreements
to
Benefit
Homeless
Individuals
(CABHI) state. The purpose of
the CABHI-Kansas program
is to strengthen state infrastructure and treatment systems to provide coordinated
treatment, recovery support
and permanent supported
housing to individuals who
experience chronic homelessness and to veterans who
experience homelessness/
chronic homelessness with
co-occurring mental and substance use disorders.
CABHI-Kansas is taking a
Housing First approach to
connecting homeless individuals with permanent housing
without preconditions such
as sobriety, substance use
treatment or other participation requirements. Earlier
this year, the program conducted Housing First training
for community health centers
as well as mental health and
substance treatment centers in conjunction with the
University of Kansas. The
Housing First model is used
by all the CABHI-KS team. It
is an alternative to the traditional approach in which
homeless individuals are
required to first participate
in and complete short-term
residential and treatment
programs before obtaining
permanent housing.
The CABHI-Kansas teams
utilize evidence-based practices to provide the best services and outcomes for the
clients they serve. The model
also incorporates a rapid job
search that is available for
any individual who is looking
for a job, regardless of their
work history or treatment
status. It is the mission of
the employment teams to connect individuals with behavioral health needs to steady
employment that can assist
them in their path to recovery.
Our CABHI Kansas teams
in year one served more than
300 individuals in three counties, Shawnee, Wyandotte,
and Sedgwick, said Korrie
Snell, CABHI Coordinator
for KDADS. Working with
substance abuse providers
Heartland RADAC and the
Substance Abuse Center
of Kansas (SACK), CABHIKansas has linked 135 chronically homeless individuals
to permanent supported housing.
Additionally, more than
50 individuals have obtained
employment through the
CABHI Individual Placement
and Support (IPS) supported
employment program.
KDADS
Housing,
Employment, and Benefits
Program Manager Melissa
Bogart-Starkey said, This
grant allows CABHI-Kansas
teams to continue to provide services for chronically
homeless individuals in need.
We see positive outcomes
every day.

Trevor McDaniel accepts scholarship from ACCF Board Chairman Gina Witherspoon.
Trevor McDaniel Awarded
Cornstock Scholarship
Garnett – Trevor McDaniel,
Westphalia, is the 2017 recipient of the Anderson County
Corn Festival (aka, Cornstock)
Scholarship. The scholarship
is awarded annually by the
501(c)(4) non-profit to an individual residing within the
local area who is currently
enrolled in high school and
has actively been involved
with the Anderson County
Corn Festival.
The Anderson County Corn
Festival encourages community involvement, specifically
area youth. One of the primary objectives of the ACCF is
to educate, train and mentor
individuals in the operation,
management and leadership of
a festival and/or special events
for fund-raising purposes for
community, civic, church and
non-for-profit organizations.
Trevor McDaniel is the son
of Dena McDaniel and Thane
McDaniel. He is a graduate of
Anderson County High School
and plans to pursue his field
of study in Forensic Science
and Medicine (MD). He will
be attending Washburn
University in Topeka this fall.
McDaniels list of honors
include Bulldog of the Week,
Language Arts Academic
Award, Athlete of the
Week, Student of the Week,
Principals Honor Roll, Senior
Male Academic Athlete-Fall
Sports, and Kansas Scholars
Curriculum Completer. He
has been a valuable volunteer
during Cornstock as a gate
worker, and has helped with
many other community charitable events, such as assisting
with the VFW Breakfasts, trick
or canning for the local food
pantry, volunteering at the
Chamber Players Community
Theatre, helping with vacation
Bible school, decorating nursing home doors and assisting with the Easter egg hunt
at Little Peoples Learning
Center.
Volunteering and giving
back to the community is
a great start for many high
school students. I was honored
to start in the 8th grade with
volunteering at Cornstock. For
these past five years that I have
volunteered for Cornstock, I
have enjoyed every minute of
my time there. I have always
worked the gates from start
to finish. Giving back to the
community is important to
me, because this community
has treated my family and I
well. … I feel if you live in a
community you should give
back to it with some of your
time. It does not require any
skill at all to dedicate your
time to the community on the
weekend or during the week.
Garnett gives many chances to be involved. As I have
grown up in Anderson County,
being an influential figure to
younger children is something
I have always worked for. I
was given a great opportunity
in volunteering at Cornstock
and I would not change anything to do anything different.
I have enjoyed every minute
I have spent volunteering
at Cornstock, said Trevor
McDaniel.
Congratulations and best
wishes to Trevor, the 2017 recipient of the Anderson County
Corn Festival Scholarship
Award. Individuals interested
in applying for the 2018 scholarship are encouraged to find
the scholarship application
and guidelines online at www.
cornstock.net or contact the
high school guidance office.
WASHINGTON U.S. Senator
Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) this
week applauded the Senate
Appropriations Committees
approval of the Agriculture,
Rural Development, Food
and Drug Administration,
and
Related
Agencies
Appropriations bill to support
farmers and ranchers, encourage rural economic development, and enhance food safety in FY2018. The legislation,
which Sen. Moran supported
as a member of the Senate
Agriculture Appropriations
Subcommittee,
allocates
funding for priorities within the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) and Food
and Drug Administration
(FDA). This bill continues our
investments in rural America
while also reducing our federal spending as compared to
currently enacted levels.
The success of our ag community impacts every sector of our states economy,
said Sen. Moran. Our agriculture appropriations bill
makes certain that farmers
and ranchers in Kansas and
across the country have the
resources they need to succeed, while investing in the
future through agriculture
research, conservation and
animal health initiatives. This
legislation also protects crop
insurance and strengthens
risk management tools critical to our nations agriculture
producers, especially during
times of low commodity prices.
Sen. Moran continued, I
have long been a supporter of
initiatives to help transitioning military veterans explore
opportunities in production
agriculture, and Im pleased
that this years bill builds
upon the provisions included
in years past to encourage our
veterans to pursue farming,
ranching and other careers in
agriculture.
The bill prioritizes a number of key issues for Kansans,
including:
Agriculture research
Continues support for
the Agriculture and Food
Research Initiative (AFRI),
USDAs premier competitive
grant program for basic and
applied agriculture research.
The bill maintains increased
levels of support for wheat and
sorghum research, including
resources to fight against the
sugarcane aphid which is
harming sorghum production.
It promotes research completed at USDA Agricultural
Research Service (ARS) labs
and universities in Kansas to
keep producers on the cutting
edge of technology and competitive in a global market.
Conservation
Supports USDA conservation efforts, including
working lands programs
and increased funding for
Conservation
Technical
Assistance. Technical assistance through the Natural
Resource
Conservation
Service (NRCS) gives farmers
and ranchers the knowledge
and tools to be better stewards of the land and water and
underpins USDAs voluntary,
non-regulatory approach to
conservation approach.
Watershed and flood
prevention
Strengthens the Watershed
and
Flood
Prevention
Operations program. This
program protects our rural
communities from flooding
by providing needed support for watershed projects.
Watersheds also protect our
natural resources and provide conservation benefits
by reducing erosion and
increasing sediment retention. Estimates show that in
Kansas alone, watershed projects in place today provide
$115 million in economic and
flood damage reduction benefits.
Veteran outreach
Includes funding for USDA
to support initiatives that
engage in outreach and training for veterans transitioning from military service to
careers in agriculture. Nearly
40 percent of the nations
farms are owned and operated
by farmers over the age of 65
creating a significant demand
new farmers, while at the
same time, over 800,000 service members are expected to
transition out of the military
in the coming years.
Rural water systems
Provides robust support for
the Grassroots Source Water
Protection Program and
Circuit Rider Program, which
are designed to provide technical assistance to rural water
systems and prevent pollution
of surface and ground water
used as the primary source of
drinking water by rural residents.
Food safety initiatives
Supports implementation of
the Food Safety Modernization
Act and USDA food inspection services, which intends
to improve preventive control
measures for food production,
decrease foodborne illness
outbreaks, and better ensure
the safety of imported food.
Preventing food contamination keeps consumers safe and
heathy and helps agriculture
stakeholders by instilling confidence in our food systems.
International Food
Assistance
Increases support for Food
for Peace and McGovern-Dole
Food for Education, programs
that utilize U.S. grown commodities to feed hungry and
malnourished people around
the world. Approximately 10
percent of hard red winter
wheat exports in 2016 were
through food aid programs,
directly benefitting Kansas
agriculture producers. These
programs also serve our
national interests by promoting political, economic and
social stability in regions
of the world important to
Americas strategic interests,
in addition to elevating our
countrys moral standing and
leadership.

Exercise is good but why does it matter?
The
American
Heart
Association recommends that
adults get at least 150 minutes
of moderate-intensity physical
activity each week. You know
exercise is good for you. But
have you ever considered why
it matters?
Physical activity can
improve your health and
reduce the risk of developing
several chronic diseases like
type 2 diabetes, cancer and
cardiovascular disease, said
Elaine Auld, CEO of the Society
for Public Health Education
(SOPHE).
Even better, physical activity and exercise can have immediate and long-term health
benefits. Regular activity can
improve your quality of life.
Physical activity strengthens
your heart, lungs, bones and
muscles. It also gives you more
energy and strength. Exercise
helps control your weight and
blood pressure, while assisting
you with handling stress. It can
also improve your sleep quality
and help you feel better about
how you look.
While scheduling gym time
and workouts can make a huge
difference in your activity
level, it also helps if you can
integrate your physical activity into your lifestyle. Here are
some tips to help:
Try standing while at your
desk. Get a standing desk. Or
try a balance ball. If you have
a conference call or long phone
call, stand.
Get up and move around regularly. For every hour you sit,
move for 5 minutes. If you can-
not do this every hour, do it
every two hours and increase
the time to 10 minutes.
Walk more. A recent 2017
study showed over the last
decade men and women are
walking more. You can be part
of this trend by walking for
pleasure or to get around.
Move your meetings outside and keep them active.
Try a walking meeting. If just
25 percent of your meetings
are active, you will make big
strides in health.
Add steps to your day. Park
at the back end of the parking
lot. Take the stairs instead of
the elevator or escalator. Walk
to run errands. When you get
to a store, do a few laps around
the outer edge of the aisles
before starting your shopping.
Be intentional about walking. Go for a walk in the evening with your family or in
the early morning with a pet.
If the weather is bad, go to a
shopping mall to walk around.
Many malls have walking fitness programs.
Find a partner. A friend can
motivate you to be active and
encourage you when you need
it. Having a buddy to meet up
with will encourage you to stay
active.
Use technology to get active.
Try a smartwatch, Fitbit or
pedometer. Many smartphones
have pedometers and nutrition
apps installed. Websites offer
charts, activity ideas and more.
Auld points out that earlier this year, the U.S. Surgeon
General has called on
Americans to walk more, and
for communities to be more
walkable too.
To help promote healthier
communities, SOPHE partnered in a three-year national
initiative, Partnering4Health,
which has projects in 97 communities across the country.
The Plan4Health project is part
of the initiatives work and
led by the American Planning
Association (APA). The project encourages city planners
to consider public health when
making decisions about how
cities are structured and developed.
That means they are working to help communities be
more pedestrian and bike
friendly. That includes helping
communities figure out how
to calm traffic so its safer to
walk, and encouraging people
to embrace the idea of walking
or biking instead of driving.
The
American
Heart
Associations
initiative,
Oregon Kids Move with Heart
partnership, collaborated with
the Beaverton School District
to create a Physical Activity
Toolkit. Elementary schools
in the program are increasing
physical activity by 50 minutes
each week by beginning each
school day with 10 minutes
of activities from the toolkit.
Participating middle schools
are incorporating Brain
Boosts throughout the day
too.

5 Summer Safety Tips
for Senior Care
1. Ensure they drink plenty of fluids throughout the day.
Seniors are more susceptible to dehydration. Remind them
to drink water often and make sure they have water bottles
in their refrigerator.
2. Remind them to dress appropriately to stay cool and
avoid sunburn. Encourage seniors to wear natural, lightcolored fabrics to feel cooler and absorb less heat from the
sun.
3. Spend time with someone in an air-conditioned
environment. If you know a senior who does not have an
air conditioner, consider purchasing them a fan or bringing
them to a cool place to sit.
4. Offer to run errands, especially during peak hours.
Seniors should only spend a very short amount of time
outside between 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Offer to pick up groceries
or prescriptions, if possible.
5. Know the signs of dehydration, heat exhaustion and
heat stroke. Get medical attention immediately if the heat is
causing confusion, dizziness, fatigue, headaches or fainting.
