Commission talks new sales tax to cover package of fix-it projects
Talks on repairs to pool
grow to building a new one,
and citys other repair needs
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A discussion over
$160,000 in repairs to the Garnett City
Swimming Pool recently expanded
into a familiar malaise over a lack
of funds for Garnett city projects and
preliminary moves to advance a
cent sales tax to city voters to fund a
slate of city projects.
Garnett Parks and Recreation
Director Phil Bures presented an
estimate from a Missouri pool repair
company to make structural repairs
on the basin portion of the city pool,
but in the ensuing discussion he noted
there was no point in buying a 25 year
extended warranty for repairs on an
81 year-old pool that clearly would not
last another 25 years.
I think what you really need to
look forward to is funding a new pool.
The big picture youre looking at an
81 year-old pool thats not going to last
forever.
Mayor Jody Cole responded that
the citys pool was just one of many
expensive projects commissioners
were evaluating including repairs
to the spillway at Cedar Valley
Reservoir, repairs and upkeep to city
water towers, street issues and the
construction of a new water treatment
plant among others and questioned
whether commissioners should be
exploring a property tax or sales tax
increase to lay in a pool of funding to
accomplish some of those projects.
Outgoing city manager Chris
Weiner said a cent sales tax addition would generate about $250,000
per year. He said the budgeting tradition in Garnett of raiding utility sur-
pluses to subsidize the citys annual
operating budget couldnt go on forever because those reserves had been
depleted over the years.
Shoppers in Garnett currently pay
8.5% on the cost of most retail goods,
which breaks down to a 6.5% state
tax, .5 % city tax and 1.5% added on
by Anderson County to pay bonds
on the 2009 county jail project. Sales

OTTAWA A Franklin County
judge earlier this month
extended another date for a
status conference in the misdemeanor battery case against
Fifth District Representative to
the Kansas House Mark Samsel
of Wellsville.
Samsel is accused of kicking
a male Wellsville High School
student in the groin in a class
in which Samsel was substitute teaching in late April in
the middle of a classroom fracas, while other students videoed several scenes of bizarre
behavior from the state representative previous to and following the incident.

Over the last several months
I have received encouraging comments to run for State Treasurer,
Tyson told The Ottawa Herald.
The people of Kansas are fed up
with the increasing government
waste, out-of-control spending,
and incompetence of Governor
Kelly and some of her administration.
Tyson announced plans last
month to offer up a bill prohibiting the teaching of Critical Race
Theory in Kansas public schools,
following backlash against the
race-based concept instruction
that critics say has leached into
school instruction through indirect channels and policies.
She and her husband Tim own
and operate Tyson Ranch in Linn

Tims great-great grandfather.

Pesky rains may have been winner for corn crop
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
MANHATTAN Though the 2021 corn
crop got off to a soggy start, local analysts
say steady precipitation will probably
turn out to be a boost to local yields.
The early planted corn is looking really good, said Frontier Extension District
Ag Agent Ryan Schaub. It appears to
have pollinated well and should be starting to fill the ear, he said.
As always, heat and moisture will be
the determining factors heading into harvest Schaub said.
The later planted corn has a ways to
go to make a crop yet, he said. Rains in
July have really given us a chance. But if
it turns hot and dry when its tasseling/
pollinating we may not have the yields we
have had the past couple years.
Anderson County farmers planted
some 49,000 acres to corn in 2020 and harvested about 46,000, according to the U.S.
Department of Agricultures National
Agriculture Statistics Service. That
effort yielded some 5.1 million bushel for KsCorn.com said the 2020 Kansas crop

Never confuse happiness Colony Christian Church
– Use Your Instruments
and pleasure
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
In Isaiah 5:16 we read concerning God, But the LORD of
hosts is exalted in justice, and
the Holy God shows himself
holy in righteousness. This is
quite a contrast to what we read
concerning man in Romans
3:10-11. None is righteous, no,
not one ; no one understands;
no one seeks God.
Dr. R.C. Sproul addresses
this in his book The Holiness
of God when he states. The
struggle we have with a holy
God is rooted in the conflict
between Gods righteousness
and our (mans) unrighteousness. He (God) is just and we
are unjust. This tension creates, fear, hostility and anger
within us toward God. The
unjust person does not desire
the company of a just judge.
We become fugitives from the
presence of One whose glory
can blind us and whose justice
can condemn us. We are at war
with Him (God) unless or until
we are justified. Only the justified person can be comfortable
in the presence of a holy God.
So we have established that
there is a chasm or gulf that
exists between God who is just
and man who is unjust. After
the fall in the Garden of Eden
man found himself alienated
from God. Where God once
communed with man now that
relationship had lapsed into sin
and lostness. God had placed
Adam in the Garden in a state
of happiness with a promise
to permanently establish him
if he obeyed Gods command
not to eat from a tree described

as the tree of the knowledge
of good and evil. However
when Adam came to the fork
in the road of happiness and
pleasure, he chose pleasure.
We as humans are very much
attracted to pleasure. We are
a pleasure driven society and
not all pleasures are sinful but
when we allow our desires to
control us sin and alienation
from God is often the result.
This type of pleasure will never
bring happiness. So we must
continue to seek more pleasure
in search of happiness.
So we must answer the
question how will unjust man
ever become just before a Holy
God? It is through divine
accomplishment. The work of
Christ reveals both the justice
of God, who punished sin in
the person of his own Son and
the righteousness of Gods way
of salvation by faith in Jesus.
Hence God is both the just and
the justifier of the one who has
faith in Jesus. (Romans 3:26)
We must not confuse happiness and pleasure. Happiness
is lasting, pleasure is fleeting.
Ministry on the
Holiness of God.

Kyle Idlemans book Grace
from the Cross. 2 Corinthians
12:9 says, Each time he (Jesus)
said, My grace is all you
need. My power works best in
weakness. So now I am glad
to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ
can work through me. His
grace is greater than anything
youll ever go thru. Whatever
we are experiencing is part of
Gods grace for us. It molds
us and teaches us. His grace

Guest speaker, Ben Prasko,
gave the sermon Use Your
Instruments. When bad
weather hits, how do pilots
navigate? They can speak to
air traffic controllers, follow
major highways, use their
instrument panels, etc. Why
do we as Christians stop using
our instruments, and how can
we navigate thru life when we
become disoriented? We may
stop using our instruments
because Satan is deceiving us,
or maybe because of our own
pride. But we are given several instruments that we can
use to keep us on course. 1.
Music. Music is a great way for
us to remember things and it
breaks thru barriers. 2. Bible.
The Bible is the very Word of
God. It is powerful and ALIVE!
Matthew tells us that we can
not live by bread alone, but by
every word that comes from
the mouth of God. 3. Prayer.
Thru prayer, we speak directly
to God. Even Jesus often went
off alone to pray to God. We
are called to pray about everything and tell God how thankful we are for all that weve
been given, the good and the
bad. Pray when you are happy,
sick, suffering hardship… confess and be healed. 4. People/
Church. God put our church
family in our lives for a reason.
We are to help each other back
onto the right path and to share
each others burdens. When we
feel like were failing, go to others in the church for help, and
use your instruments. Theyll
never fail. Ref: 2 Corinthians

OPINION
Forget the Wuhan lab: Why are
we sending any money to China?
Last week, Senator Rand Paul and Dr.
Anthony Fauci went viral after they argued
during a Senate hearing over the definition of
gain of function research. Specifically, they
butted heads over whether the U.S. funded the
type of research potentially connected with the
Wuhan lab at the center of the contentious lab
leak theory of COVID-19s origins.
Senator Paul, you do not know what you are
talking about, quite frankly, and I want to say
that officially. You do not know what you are
talking about! said Dr. Fauci, after Sen. Paul
referenced a paper by a Wuhan lab researcher
which discussed what was, in the senators opinion, an example of gain of function research.
While officials like Fauci attempt to wiggle away from any semblance of responsibility
by hiding behind deliberately fluid definitions,
however, we
are missing the

Instead,
the question is

enemy on the world stage?
As I have said on multiple occasions, China
under the iron-fist of the Chinese Communist
Party is todays Nazi Germany. While
American leaders wring their hands over the
threat of Russia or Iran or North Korea, they are
ignoring the growth of the single greatest threat
to Western liberty on the planet.
Whether it be the CCPs open disdain for
human rights, their military aggression against
neighboring states, or the attempt to place the
world economy in a stranglehold, Chinas status
as the United States greatest adversary both
economically, militarily, and ethically is
unquestionable.
GUEST EDITORIAL
IAN HAWORTH THE DAILY WIRE
Then why are we sending them money?
For example, the NIH gave almost $600,000
(through a nonprofit and various grant systems)
to the Wuhan Institute of Virology over several
years to study bat coronaviruses.
Why?
The claim that Chinese institutions are in
any way independent of the Chinese Communist
Party is either naive or deeply moronic. In the
worlds foremost dictatorship, we can safely
assume any and all companies, organizations,
and institutions exist only with the CCPs blessing.
This means that one dollar sent to the Wuhan
Institute of Virology is, effectively, one dollar sent to the Chinese government, with not
much more than Faucis assumption of academic honesty protecting our taxpayer funds from
anti-American misappropriation.
People would understandably scoff at the idea
of sending taxpayer dollars to the Nazi Party
during World War II. Then why do we accept
the idea that China should receive a single
American dollar today?
The argument over the NIH and its involvement with COVID-19 pales in comparison to the
importance of knowing who our friends are on
the world stage, and who our enemies are.
China is an enemy, and its time we started
treating them as such. Ending funding for their
research regardless of whether or not it
resulted in a worldwide pandemic seems like
an obvious place to start.

Hooray for the billionaire boys club of space
Who wouldve thought selling books online
would eventually lead to the first vertical takeoff spaceflight on a rocket for tourists? Or that
a mail-order record business would eventually
lead to flying a sub-orbital space plane flying
at the edge of space?
In the last 10 days, weve seen two billionaires and their fellow crew members fly to the
edge of space. Richard Bransons crew flew
on the Virgin Atlantic Unity 22 sub-orbital
vehicle on July 11 and Jeff Bezoss crew was
onboard the Blue Origin New Shepard space
vehicle on July 20.
The historic flights were slightly different.
Unity is a sub-orbital vehicle, meant more for
space tourism and the experience of weightlessness than for actual space flight. You can
pay $250,000 to get on a flight and youll be
able to see the sky turn black with the Earths
horizon below you. Bransons vehicle landed
like a plane on a runway in New Mexico.
The New Shepard flight was unique because
it was a vertical launch, where the booster and
capsule went straight into the sky like a traditional rocket launch, then separated, with
the booster landing vertically on a landing
pad and a few minutes later, the capsule and
four-member crew parachuting down to land
softly in the West Texas desert. Bezos has his
eyes focused beyond tourism, with plans for
orbital space development and the moon.
Eventually another billionaire, Elon Musk
COMMENTARY
DAN THALMANN, WASHINGTON COUNTY NEWS
and his company SpaceX, could top them with
a proposed effort to take a trip to Mars with
the intent of colonization.
Some people think space travel is a meaningless pursuit. But of all the new technologies
were seeing developed these days, surely it
could be considered a much more worthy
effort than creating entertaining filters that
make you look like a cross between a unicorn
and a cat on your smartphone.
The technology developed as part of the private space race will likely find its way into our
lives. Well benefit even if we never actually
take a ride to the edge of space.
It is exciting to observe this historic
moment. Im convinced the next 10 years will
bring incomprehensible change to society and
our day-to-day existence. As new technologies
are discovered and new horizons are crossed,
humans will get to explore the wonders God
has created beyond our planet.
If the journey to space can come from humble beginnings and fortunes can be made from
mundane business pursuits, we all have the
opportunity to be the next Branson or Bezos.
Branson made his fortune with a vinyl
record mail order business and record shops.
He never finished high school. Bezos made
his fortune after founding Amazon, the company that had its start with selling books
through the mail. He started life as the son of a
17-year-old high school student. The odds were
stacked against them.
If ever there were a couple people whose
history matched the Kansas motto Ad Astra
per Aspera or To the stars, through difficulties, it was these two.
This also means there is nothing stopping
Kansans like you and me from changing the
world.
Congratulations to Richard Branson and
Jeff Bezos for their contribution to what will
surely usher in a historic new era for humanity.

County News and former president of The

Are they really serious about Forget the Alamo?
No one is trying to topple the Alamo quite
yet, but a new revisionist book on the foundational event of Texas history partakes of the
iconoclastic spirit of our time.
The book, titled Forget the Alamo, is a
harsh call for Texans, and Americans, to get
over a battle deeply etched in our popular
memory. According to the authors, the Texans
(then the Texians) were foolish to try to defend
the indefensible. Some of the defenders tried
to make a run for it. Santa Anna, the Mexican
general central to the story, wasnt so bad. And
given the importance of slavery to the early
history of Texas, the Alamo and the Texas
Revolution are due an overall post-George
Floyd reevaluation.
If there are legitimate disputes over the
historical record, its really not hard to understand why a badly outnumbered garrison of
men who fought ferociously against a government force almost to the last man and provided a rallying cry for a rebellion that quickly
swept to success occupies an outsize place in
our imagination.
Especially given that two of the most
famous Americans of the time, Davy Crockett
and Jim Bowie, died there.
Such an event is inevitably catnip for
myth-making, but even when stripped down
to its essence, the Alamo and the aftermath
were truly extraordinary.
Santa Anna, president of Mexico 11 separate times, first took power as a federalist,
then switched sides and became a centralizer. A new constitution squashed Mexican
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
states that had been run largely autonomously. Santa Anna put down the ensuing revolt
in the province of Zacatecas in horrifyingly
brutal fashion, and then he came for Texas.
About 150 defenders holed up in the Alamo,
and the rest is not just legend, but history.
Santa Anna did indeed signal that his force
of more than a thousand would give no quarter.
William Barret Travis, commander of the
garrison, did indeed write an immortal letter
concluding, Victory or death. He made a
plea for reinforcements that never came. If
this call is neglected, he wrote, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible &
die like a soldier who never forgets what is due
to his own honor & that of his country.
Santa Annas troops did indeed launch an
early morning attack that was bloodied by the
defenders, but quickly overwhelmed the fortification. Santa Anna insisted that roughly half
a dozen survivors be executed, and followed
up this atrocity with the murder of about 350
other captured rebels in the Goliad Massacre.
Sam Houston, his forces swelled by volunteers,
did indeed tell his troops prior to the Battle of
San Jacinto: We will meet the enemy. Some
of us may be killed, and must be killed. But,
soldiers, remember the Alamo, the Alamo, the
Alamo! In an astonishing turnabout, the battle turned into a bloody rout of the Mexicans
that secured the independence of Texas.
Who wouldnt want to make a movie of such
events?
Of course, such popularizations arent going
to be academically rigorous. Pushing back,
the authors of Forget the Alamo assail the
character of Jim Bowie and William Travis,
and, sure enough, you wouldnt trust them to
manage your real-estate holdings. Texas at the
time was a hard place, and the Mexicans and
Comanche who contended for control of the
territory werent paragons, either.
The authors note the contribution of the
Tejanos, native Texans of Mexican descent, and
regret how its missing from many accounts
of the revolution, which is fair enough, but
doesnt detract from the basic story.
They make much of how Mexico abolished
slavery, whereas Texas planters depended on
it. Yet Mexico tolerated slavery in Texas and
had its own rigidly hierarchical economic sysSEE LOWRY ON PAGE 1B
in Los Angeles than you are to die of Covid. By
now everybody who wanted to get the shot has
got the shot, so if you didnt get it thats your
business and you take your chances. Im not
going to crawl back in a hole and live in it just
because youre afraid. No way. Thank you.
Why do so many people have such blatant disregard for traffic laws? Thank you.
To the person that is responsible for getting the
dock fixed at the Garnett reservoir I want to say
I really appreciate it. And it would be nice to see
us get the dock at the north lake fixed so some of
the elderly can enjoy that. Thank you.

HISTORY
Mystery bus tour – part 3
Monday 28 June
Lets see, where were we?
Oh yes, we had just arrived at
Sunrise, Wy. Population 1.
Sunrise was at one time a
hustling, bustling town with a
population of 1,600 people. It was
the third largest iron ore mining town in the United States. It
is now a privately owned ghost
town. The main activity there
today is two archaeological projects going on. One a historic excavation of the town and the other
a very productive excavation of
the very early Paleo Indians.
We traveled one mile to
Hartville, Wy. for lunch at the
oldest bar in Wyoming. Miners &
Stockmans Bar called the Steak
House and Spirits.
Our next stop was in Gurney,
Wy., where we picked up a tour
guide. At Gurney is the National
Guards Training Camp. Gurney
has a population of 1,200, however when the Guard arrives it
grows to 20,000 — 50,000. Its the
largest camp in the U.S.A.
Next we traveled to the
Register Cliffs where we saw literally thousands of names carved
in the sandstone cliff walls from
travelers on the Oregon Trail,
DIGGING UP THE PAST
Henry Roeckers
Call (785) 504-4722 for
local archeology information.
Mormon Trail, Pony Express
Riders and names of visitors
from all over the world.
Traveling on, we soon stopped
and walked to the top of a sandstone hill and we could see the
ruts cut in the sandstone by those
traveling on the Oregon Trail.
I stood in ruts worn down 4-6
feet deep. The white desert poppies were all in bloom. Beautiful.
Soon we crossed the all man
made dam on the Guernsey
Reservoir and toured the very
interesting CC Museum.
Our last stop of the day before
going to the Hawk Springs Motel
was in Torrington, Wy. at the
Rendezvous Center. Here we
were treated a delicious prime
rib dinner. After dinner we
had three cattle ranchers tell
us all about cattle ranching in
Wyoming. Very interesting.
Tuesday 29 June
We left Cheyenne at 8:45 for
another day of touring. Lots of
antelope along the road side. Our
first stop was out in the middle of the desert. What was out
here to see? It was the Quebec
Missile Alert Site. Do any of you
remember the PEACE MAKER
MISSILE? (think maybe this
should be Peacekeeper missle?)
It was the most destructive weapon of its time. During nuclear
downsizing it was dismantled
and removed. However, we got
to go down in elevators 50 feet to
where it was housed and ready
for launching at a seconds notice.
Two people at a time were underground for 48 hours manning the
launch station.
After that tour everyone was
ready to eat lunch and our very
next stop was at the Little Bear
Inn, where we had a wonderful
lunch.
Next week I will continue on
this exciting tour.

20 years ago…Juveniles burglarize business
10 years ago…
The irony was too much to
ignore. While the area suffers
under debilitating heat and
lack of moisture, work crews
reconstructing U.S. Highway
59 through Garnett discovered a means to alleviate
flooding in that area. Killough
Construction uncovered an
abandoned storm drain just
north of First Avenue along
the roadway which apparently
had been covered by previous
construction. The city had no
record of the drain and no one
apparently knew it was there,
City Manager Joyce Martin
said.
20 years ago…
A local business closed for
over a year was burglarized
Tuesday by three young juveniles. Garnett Police Chief
James Bond said three juveniles ages 9, 10, and 11 are
suspected in a burglary of
the Texaco-Taco Bell store in
Garnett early Tuesday morning, July 3. Numerous packages of cigarettes, lighters,
and alcoholic beverages were
among the items recovered in
the incident.

ed incident several months ago.
According to Anderson County
Attorney Craig Cole, Edward
Seitz has been charged with
making terroristic threats in
an incident unrelated to the
shooting. He is currently a suspect in a shooting which seriously wounded Tom Fagg, 23,
of Cherryvale, in an altercation
which witnesses says resulted
in several shots being fired.
According to Cole, no charges
have been filed in the shooting
incident and officials are still
trying to sort out the details
from the witnesses, the victim,
and onlookers.
40 years ago…
A long standing lawsuit
filed by 10 railroads against
105 Kansas counties could
result in a considerable loss
of tax income for Anderson
County. The railroads, which
locally includes the Santa Fe,
Missouri Pacific, and MK&T,
contend that Kansas is in violation of the federal Railroad
Revitalization and Regulatory
Reform Acct, and that the state
is discriminating against the
railroads in the assessment of
property taxes. If the railroads
win their suit, the county, city,
and school district budgets
within Anderson County will
lose $75,913.86 in railroad revenue annually.
100 years ago…
When J.Q. McAfee finishes
work on the Fourth Avenue
hotel, as now contemplated, Garnett will have a hotel
of which she need not be
ashamed. He has taken out two
west office windows and the
wall between them and in their
place installed a large window,
as large as four ordinary windows. He is doing the same with
the south side of the office. This
gives abundant light and is a
great improvement in appearance of the building. A new
front will be put into the building adjoining, which is now
part of the hotel, and this room
will be connected with an arch
with the original office and
will be equipped for a writing
room. The toilet will be placed
at the rear of this room. Other
improvements will be made
which will be noted later.
The Hope Anthem Pool party on Saturday night was a huge success! Snow cones, music, inflatables,
and swimming as well as giveaways made the evening fun for everyone! Thanks go out to all that
attended and helped make the party possible.
Marriage and kids have a way of changing the single freedom of summer
Kim Baldwin, McPherson
County farmer
A friend of mine recently
asked when my family truly
begins to enjoy summer. She
asked this well-meaning question to help her figure out when
we get to enjoy some rest and
relaxation during the summer
months. She has observed my
family for many years and has
recognized that while many
others enjoy vacations during
this time of the year, it seems
as if my family does not get the
traditional summer experience so many others do.
Before I met and eventually
married my husband, I lived in
a town where I taught. As soon
as I had wrapped up my lessons for the year, cleaned my
classroom and submitted my
final grades, my summer break
began. My summer breaks consisted of a lot of cookouts with
friends and family, a lot of time
in a swimming pool, and a lot
of travel. I had a lot of things to
do during my breaks, and I generally kept a pretty busy schedule to ensure Id soak up all of
what summer offered. Many
nights Id usually fall asleep
exhausted from a busy summer
day and get a good, hard sleep
before rising with the sun the
next morning.
When I look at what summers were like for me as a
single teacher living in a small
town compared to what my
summers look like now on the
farm, I cant help but recognize that some things remain
the same yet appear different.
During wheat harvest, I still
experience meals with friends
and family although what
is generally grilled at home is
then packaged up and hauled
out to hungry people in a wheat
field somewhere. I still enjoy
meals with others while sitting
in our lawn chairs, albeit the
scenery and timeframes may
look a little different.
My time relaxing at the pool
with friends has transitioned to
water time with my kids. Pool
time is now generally centered
around our stock tank pool that
sits in our front yard. Its quite
convenient for early morning
or evening dips, and you dont
have to deal with crowds or
admission fees. Sometimes the
kids and I enjoy a trip to a local

splash pad or enjoy time at our
towns public pool. In either of
these scenarios, we all enjoy a
little refreshing break from the
summer heat.
I also still get to travel
during the summer months.
Some days include unplanned
short trips to a business in a
nearby town to pick up irrigation or machine parts my husband needs. Unless the items
are needed immediately, I usually have the kids put on their
swimsuits under their clothes
and pack some towels in the
event we find a new community splash pad to enjoy. If we
strike out with the splash pad
on our parts runs, well look
for community parks or interesting things like murals to
explore in these other communities. Sometimes, the kids and
I can also sneak away for multiple days if schedules allow.
As the summer continues
and hectic, timely tasks on the
farm like wheat harvest and
planting have transitioned
more into an autopilot mode
of things like managing irriga-
tion. We still take advantage of
the daylight hours and generally still collapse into our beds
nightly well after the lightening bugs fill the air.
As summer continues, my
family can begin to stray a
bit further from the farm. We
can enjoy a swimming pool at
a hotel or a relaxing evening
cookout together at home. We,
no doubt, will still collapse into
bed at night after exhausting
days trying to take full advantage of all that the summer
days allow us to absorb. And
we will begin talking about
what fun family trip we can
plan for and enjoy some rest
and relaxation somewhere
perhaps warm and sunny in
either January or February.

City of Garnett celebrates farmers markets
resiliency For National Farmers Market Week 2021
The Garnett Farmers
Market joins markets across
the country in celebrating
National Farmers Market
Week, August 1-7, 2021.
Post global pandemic, farmers markets like all other
small businesses have been
scrambling to continue operations for the farmers and communities that depend on them.
When conventional food supply chains failed at the start of
the pandemic, farmers markets
and local food systems clearly displayed the resiliency of
short supply chains and interest in local foods spiked nationwide.
National Farmers Market
Week is an annual celebration
of farmers markets coordinated by the Farmers Market
Coalition, a membership-based
503(c)3 nonprofit organization
that supports farmers markets
nationwide through training,
technical assistance, and network-building. This year, the

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, July 27, 2021
campaign is centered around
the essential role that farmers markets play in the food
system as demonstrated during
this unique time in history.
The Garnett Farmers
Market, in its current form
began in July of 2008, and
today hosts 6 to 10 farmers and
vendors selling a wide variety
of products, including cucumbers, greens/kale, onions,
asparagus, carrots, zucchini
and varieties of squash, peppers, tomatoes, sweet corn,
watermelon and cantaloupe,
beans, blueberries, strawberries, apples and peaches, homemade ice cream, honey and
honey products, salsas, sauces,
syrups, jellies and jams, freshly baked breads, rolls, pies and
custom cookies, farm raised
beef, chicken, elk and pork,
fresh farm eggs, flowers, bedding plants, hanging baskets,
pumpkins and gourds, pecans,
homemade and handcrafted
artwork, jewelry, woodwork,
etc. This year is a great time
to be a part of the Garnett
Farmers Market, says Kris
Hix, Market Manager and
Director of the Garnett Area
Chamber of Commerce/City
Administrative
Assistant.
Some area youth are involved
in the Garnett Farmers Market
and that is refreshing. The
market also has a Community
Table where persons who have
an abundance of garden vegetables can drop off at this table to
sell.
The Garnett Farmers
Market encourages senior citizens to sign up at the Frontier
Extension District Office,
411 S. Oak, for free Farmers
Market money by applying
for the Senior Farmers Market
Nutrition Program. You must
be 60 years of age and meet
income guidelines.
Farmers markets are essential to the life and livelihood
of millions of shoppers and
tens of thousands of farmers.
says Ben Feldman, Executive
Director of the Farmers Market
Coalition. But farmers markets dont happen by accident.
It takes the planning, organization, and execution of dedicated individuals and community
organizations. That work is
harder than ever and farmers
markets and the vendors who
sell at them need all the help
they can get.
The Garnett Farmers
Market invites vendors and
food trucks to join the market,
held every Thursday evening
on Main Street, between 4th
and 5th Avenues, from 4:30
to 7:00 p.m. Farmers Market
Season is held annually from
the first Thursday in May
through the second week in
October.
