Their plan would raze the

new hospital and long term
care unit on the site at a cost
of about $26.5 million.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Veterinarian
Fred Gardner believes in profiling dog breeds. If it were
up to him, pit bull type breeds
and rottweilers wouldnt be
the only ones targeted in a
city ordinance that restricts
ownership. Hed also add
wolf hybrids and akitas to
the list.
Those four breeds alone
account for 90 percent of
maimings and deaths, he
said, citing a 1998 Centers for
Disease Control study that
examined fatal dog attacks
over 20 years.
Gardner spoke to city
commissioners Tuesday, July
24, about ongoing efforts to
revamp the citys aggressive
dog ordinance. Currently, the
city allows people to own dogs
classified as pit bulls and
rottweilers providing several
measures are taken, such
as maintaining insurance
that covers animal attacks,
having a five-sided dog pen,
and keeping the animal on
a leash outside the home.
Animal advocates recently
approached the city, asking
to remove the breed-specific

Police and Anderson County
Attorney Fred Campbell say
the brothers procured compounds for anabolic steroids
from foreign suppliers including those in China and then
manufactured, packaged and

former jujitsu academy Brock

vary from possessing components and illegal steroids to

DOGS…

language. They argued targeting specific breeds is outdated
because research has shown it
is difficult to identify a breed
short of a DNA profile. Several
types of dogs have specific characteristics that are lumped into
pit bull breeds, such as the
American Staffordshire Terrier
and American Pit Bull Terrier.
But pit bull-type dogs account
for more than 31 percent of serious or fatal dog attacks, according to the CDC study and cited
by Gardner. Rottweilers account
for the second highest number of serious or fatal attacks,
followed by wolf hybrids and
akitas. German shepherds also
have a high number of attacks,
similar to akitas, but a higher
population of German shepherds means that number is
spread out among a larger pool
of animals so the percentage of
animals that are likely to attack
are less than akitas, Gardner
said.
However, the CDCs website
says the study cited by Gardner
shouldnt be used for policy
making decisions because it
accounts for a very small number of incidents (16 fatalities
over 20 years and about 0.0002
percent of the total number of
people bitten). The study was
taken from media reports, and
breed identification was made
only if it was reported in the
story.
There is currently no accurate way to identify the number
of dogs of a particular breed,
and consequently no measure
to determine which breeds are
more likely to bite or kill, the
CDC website said.
Gardner pointed out that
some owners keep dogs simply
for ego or intimidation purposes, and those owners are more
likely to seek a pit bull-type
breed or some other type of animal that is known to be aggressive.
Im not sure that any ordinance can eliminate people
who keep dogs for intimidation
purposes, but we need to have
ordinances in place that limit
the amount of vicious dogs,
Gardner said. Public safety is
very important.
An animals level of aggression and its ability to do harm
also are good reasons to profile breeds, he said. He gave
an analogy of being stuck in
a room with the worlds most
aggressive chihuahua.
I guarantee I can get out of
here alive. Put a rottweiler or
pit bull or akita with the same
level of aggression, and Im not
going to get out of here without
serious harm, he said.
Gardner said he wasnt
speaking for or against any
particular legislation, but said
if the city removes breed-specific restrictions, he hopes they
come up with a good policy to
identify aggressive dogs.
City attorney Terry Solander
was not present at Tuesdays
meeting. He is drafting a new
ordinance and said he has been
researching how other cities
define aggression, and what
penalties can be implemented
for having an aggressive dog.

and little rain seems to be the
norm this summer.
Less than half an inch of
rain has fallen on the local area
in July, keeping the area more
than 6 inches of rain below normal for this time of year.
Since the beginning of the
year, only 17.44 inches of rain
has been recorded at Garnett
Municipal Airport. In a typical year, 23.54 inches would
have fallen by the end of July.
Anderson County regularly
gets an average of around 40
inches of precipitation a year,
with June typically the wettest
month and September the driest.
Prospects for a normal
summer seemed better in the
spring, when March brought in
nearly 6 inches. April and May
each brought in a respectable
Jujitsu school and the activities
of its owner. Brock Moody was
a former deputy for the Allen
County Sheriffs Department
until his law enforcement certification was revoked for falsifying his resume. A family dispute late last year ended in the
estrangement of the brothers,
and allegations by Brock Moody
to his brothers employer, USD
479, regarding school computer equipment and inappropriate personal information on
school-owned computer drives.
Phil Moody then left his job as
a math teacher in USD 479 in
February of this year.
Attorneys for both men asked
for more time to review the case
before determining if it should
proceed to a preliminary hearing. The next court hearing will
be Aug. 28, with Phil Moody

amount of rainfall, 3.95 and 3.14
inches respectively.
Things changed in June,
however. That month, only 1.60
inches of rain fell, compared to
a month that typically brings
in 5.38 inches of rain. July was
even drier, with just 0.36 inches
of rain in a month that typically
brings 3.97 inches.
Hot temperatures also added
to the drought, with 12 days
in July bringing temperatures
over 100 degrees. The hottest
day of the year so far was this
past Sunday, July 29, at 106.
Rain and temperature
amounts were recorded at the
Garnett Airport. Manager Gary
Ecclefield said temperatures at
the airport may be lower than
temperatures recorded in other
parts of the city, but that is the
citys official recording site.
WATER…
FROM PAGE 1A
Waiting until evening hours
to use large appliances like
clothes dryers.
The drought has left Garnett
and Anderson County more
than 6 inches of rain below normal. Crops are essentially a lost
cause, local agriculture experts
have said. Most lawns and larger gardens are dried to a crisp.
City water supplies have continued to provide as much water
as needed, city manager Joyce
Martin said. Water plant workers keep both of the citys water
towers full in case of a fire or
other emergency situation that
would require a large supply of
water. The water plant is treating near the maximum amount
of 600,000 to 800,000 gallons of
water per day, and Cedar Valley
Reservoir, at 360 acres, is holding up to the drought, although
its about 3 feet lower than average. City crews about a week
ago released water from the
reservoir to keep a good supply
of water flowing down Cedar
Creek, where the city taps into
the gravity-fed stream. Its not
unusual for crews to have to do
that, Martin said.
But even though the
droughts impact on city water
supplies isnt critical yet, its
still taking a toll. The city has
been providing water for cattle
ranchers; officials say they may
have to stop doing that. Officials
already have asked USD 365 to
watch the amount of water its
using on the football field and
at the new Garnett Elementary
School; an irrigation system has
been using a lot of water to
establish sod at the new school.
The East Kansas AgriEnergy ethanol plant uses the
most water of any city customer, and Martin said she may
have to talk to plant officials
about water conservation. Last
month, the plant used 3.9 million gallons of potable water.
However, the plant also uses
other water sources like 2.3 million gallons from Lake Garnett
last month and 5.7 million gallons of water returned to the
citys treatment plant. The city
primarily is concerned with
usage of the potable water.
City staff keep a close eye on
water usage and contact residents if usage is higher than
normal. Sometimes the culprit
will be a hose accidentally left
on overnight, Martin said. For
the most part, however, residential users seem to be using about
the same amount of water they
did at this time last year, she
said.

was $71 million. According to
the rules, the county couldnt
approve a project more than
$2 million. The hospitals proposal would be about 36 percent
of the assessed valuation, well
over the 3 percent rule.
ACH
Director
Denny
Hachenberg said the hospital
stands by its request, and its
now up to county commissioners to determine the best way to
fund the project.
Thats up to the county
commission on how they want
to go about financing a new hospital, Hachenberg said. Were
just asking them to put it on the
ballot to let the people vote on a
new hospital.
There are several ways the
county could finance the project. For example, the county
could ask voters to approve a
sales tax to pay for the project.
It could ask the project to be
paid for by revenue bonds, in
which hospital revenue would
pay for the project. The Public
Building Commission, which
brought construction of the
Anderson County Jail, could
force the county to pay for the
project with general obligation
bonds because PBCs are legally exempt from the 3 percent
restriction.
Were very optimistic,
Hachenberg said. There are different financing mechanisms.
They have to choose what they
think is best.
County commissioners were
scheduled to meet Aug. 13 with
the company that handles its
bonds, and could learn more
about its financing options at
that time. The financing method would need to be determined
before a question about building
a new hospital could be placed
on the ballot, and the deadline
to place a question on the ballot
is mid-September.
Hachenberg said project
leaders are working to determine more specific cost esti-
mates. The $26.5 million estimate was conservative, based
on an inflated 5.5 bond interest
rates which is higher than
current market rates on those
bonds.
The hospital is owned by the
county but is leased and managed by St. Lukes Heath System.
If a new facility was built, St.
Lukes would increase its annual lease payments from $440,000
to $1.024 million. St. Lukes also
would provide annual maintenance and capital improvements up to $500,000, depending
on the budget year and with the
stipulation that the county also
provide $500,000.
Hospital officials say the
new facility is needed because
of serious aging infrastructure
problems and limited space,
according to a report presented to the hospitals Board of
Trustees earlier this month.
According to the report, the
plumbing, electrical, heating
and air conditioning systems
do not meet code, and there
is potential for multiple system
failures. A major infrastructure
problem could close the hospital
for weeks or months; the cost to
fix or replace those issues is
estimated at $15 million over
10 years, and some upgrades
or repairs may not be possible
because of code requirements.
Hospital officials say the impact
on taxpayers to maintain the
facility over that 10-year period
is more than the cost of replacing it when measured over the
same term.
The new facility would fix
those core problems and add
considerable space.
It would increase ACHs surgical capacity to two suites and
expand the specialty clinics to
12 exam rooms. It would construct patient rooms to do away
with existing privacy problems,
develop a 10-bed inpatient unit
with possible expansion to 25
beds based on increased skilled
care admissions, among other
improvements.

Aggressive move for
$20+ million new hospital
should get objective analysis
Sticker shock from a recent proposal by
Anderson County Hospital officials to build a
new $26 million hospital and long term care
facility is cavitating through the county with
the expected polarization that only a tax-funded project in Anderson County can have.
But the issue of constructing a new hospital in Anderson County labors far beyond
the initial vibrations pro or con at the outset
of the discussion and deep into the fabric of
our community, its employment and economy,
its provision of critical services and the
EDITORIAL

our population is

decades.

their child or other
loved one is pulled injured from a traffic or
farm accident or theyre stricken by a critical
heart attack or stroke. When moments count
toward saving the life of your child or mother
or father or sibling, Anderson County Hospital
is a good investment.
The rest of the time and to the extent that
we must from time to time put some dollar
value on what we want local health care to be,
well, the subjects up for debate.
Can ACH continue to function in some
kind of emergency role without an investment
of $26 million? Most assuredly. Will Anderson
County have adequately staked its claim for
the future of health care in our communities
with what amounts to a Mobile Army Surgical
Hospital (MASH) unit instead of a more fullservice facility? Not likely.
The invisible but ever-present fact is this:
Anderson Countys population, like the rest of
the nation, is getting older by the minute. Baby
boomers, the largest bubble of births in the
nations history between 1945-1964, are growing into old age and into the life phase when
they will need the most health care. Anderson
Countys average age has been higher than the
national average for years anyway, so the slide
will happen faster here. To be a strong community, we have to be able to offer core services,
and few services will be more core in the coming decades than local health care.
There are many unknowns. Can the price
of the project be pared down and still be effective? What are Anderson Countys debt service
options? Can hospital revenues play a role in
debt service? What can ACH do to maximize
its market share of local health care customers to keep them from going to other providers? If the community doesnt support a new
facility, will St. Lukes Health System continue
to lease and operate the facility, and can hospital management continue operation of ACH in
St. Lukes absence? These and more questions
have to be posed and contemplated fully as the
discussion about a new hospital develops.
The proposal highlights what has been the
economic bane of Anderson County ever since
it fell behind neighboring counties in retention
and development of industry beginning in the
1950s. Without substantial industrial and commercial infrastructure like the manufacturing
plants that still remain in Ottawa, Iola or the
nuclear plant at New Strawn, the countys
property valuation has fallen behind in constant dollars to the point that subsistence
public funding is nearly all thats available
without blood letting among the remaining
home and property owners. Weve been losing
the ability to fund the replacement of ACH
about ever since the present facility was built.
Three economic facts are certain: 1) ACH
presently has employment of 203 and a payroll
of $6.8 million payroll, making it the countys
largest employers and active economic participant. 2) St. Lukes, as has been reported
recently, is searching for ways to cut $100 million in costs from its system-wide operations
due to uncertainty about new federal health
care legislation; and 3) Anderson County has a
state-imposed debt limit of 3 percent of its $71
million assessed property valuation.
Everything else is up for debate.
I just wanted to comment on the Anderson
County Fair. I know its hard to get a carnival
in here, but there are towns smaller than
Garnett that have a way bigger fair with
rides and fun things that go on during their
fair. Its pretty embarrassing for Anderson
County to have no rides or nothing for their
fair. Just animals and a tent? Come on. Is that
really fun for kids to do? Show some more
support and backbone to get a carnival here.
Thats why you dont have a crowd down
there. Its an embarrassment to this town.
Christie: Drop drug war
BY RICH LOWRY
NATIONAL REVIEW
Chris Christie is not a wimp, a hippie or
a countercultural icon. Hes not known for
taking time out from budget negotiations to
smoke dope, or for his sympathy for drug dealers.
Yet he is a soft-liner on the war on drugs.
That the combative New Jersey governor and
Republican rock star — just
tapped to keynote the GOP
convention in Tampa, Fla. -vocally dissents from drugwar orthodoxy is another
sign that the tectonic plates
of the drug debate are shifting. Perhaps our appetite for
spending billions and incarcerating millions, in the
Lowry
service of pieties immune
to rational analysis, is not
limitless after all.
In a speech at the Brookings Institution,
Christie called the war on drugs well intentioned, but a failure. He just signed a law
to mandate treatment rather than jail time for
nonviolent drug offenders. The Democratic
rising star in New Jersey, Newark Mayor Cory
Booker, recently condemned the drug war in
strikingly similar terms as big overgrown
government at its worst. In Jersey, the drug
war is getting it from both barrels and both
parties.
Exhaustion is finally setting in with the
enormous human and fiscal costs of attempting to eradicate the ineradicable. People have
always used intoxicants, and always will, in
ways ancient and new. The Good Book tells

Just a pleasure. Shop locally. Thank you.
Are we fast approaching the limit to what the
property owners of Garnett and Anderson
County can bear? Property taxes are already
exceedingly high. The community has built
several new structures in the past few years.
The elementary school is the newest, and
thats fine because it was approved by a
democratic public voting process. Lets go
back to the county jail which was approved
by the commissioners despite the no vote
from the public. The school board built the
new track and field complex regardless of
the no vote from taxpayers. And now comes
the new hospital discussions. Do we really
need a new hospital, or would it just be nice
to have a new hospital? Does a new hospital
building always equate to an improvement
in service to its patients? I read about new
hospital comparisons to hospitals in Ottawa,
Iola and Burlington, but lets realize we dont
have the same economy or tax base they
have. I also read of the austerity program
that the patent St. Lukes Hospital system
is discussing, which includes elimination
of job and budget reductions, but then our
local St. Lukes affiliate is talking expansion.
We should request an explanation of those
differences. The effects of the new federal
health care bill on hospital operations is yet
to be determined. We should not let the county commission approve the construction of a
new hospital without it coming before a vote
of the public. Lets not repeat the county jail
scenario. We cannot let property taxes get so
high that people cannot afford to live here or
move here.
I just want to say how sad it is to drive out
by the fair grounds and see nothing there. I
think we ought to be honest with ourselves
and quit calling it a fair, just call it a farmers
meeting, because all it is, is farmers and their
animals. And I just dont understand how
the Kincaid Fair, a town thats not even close
to our population can have twice the fair. If
its the dates or something why dont they
change it. Kincaid doesnt have any problem
doing it in October. I just feel sorry for the
kids around here. Thank you.

notes how — in the mercury effect — pressure against the cartels in Colombia squeezed

No one crafting American laws from scratch
purely on a basis of public health would
make marijuana illegal while alcohol — much
more damaging to society — is legal. Slowly,
the prohibition on marijuana is giving way.
Medical marijuana is legal in 17 states and the
District of Columbia. Colorado, Oregon and
Washington state will consider ballot measures to legalize the drug in November. The
current regime makes criminals of millions
of casual users, but legalization — even in one
state, according to experts Beau Kilmer and
Jonathan Caulkins — could collapse the price
nationally and lead to more widespread use.
Every alternative has its pitfalls. But we are
exiting the era when a focus on the harmful
effects of illegal drugs excludes all consideration of the harmful effects of their hard-fisted
prohibition. The debate is becoming less susceptible to cheap rhetorical bullying. If Chris
Christie, arguably the toughest Republican in
the country, is open to new approaches, theres
hope for everyone else.

aspect of our communities.
Budget priority
The county budget will obviously be a concern of mine as
well as the other candidates. I
cant pick one item as my first
order of business at this time.
I would say that I would look at
several areas within the budget,
specifically areas where expenditures have risen dramatically
over the last ten years. We all
know the current economy
means we have less revenue to
spend but it also means that we
should be capitalizing on the
competitiveness of the free market. I would like to look for any
means to spend less without
sacrificing quality.
Most Important Issue
As I indicated earlier I think
that the economic development
of Anderson County is a high
priority for me. I feel that with
our counties infrastructure
we are ideally located for any
number of manufacturing or
distribution opportunities. I
would like to draw a few small
(20-30 employee) manufacturers or distributors to Anderson
County. We have lost several
manufacturers in recent years
with not much moving in to
replace them. I would like to
look at the feasibility of making
the Anderson County Economic
Development a full time position where Anderson County
becomes a priority. I believe
that with a full time administrator the county commission
can move to replace businesses
that have moved from the area
as well as work to bring new
industry to Anderson County

The tax law cut taxes for over

not only create jobs with our

it will draw new businesses to

Why Im Running

district county commissioner seat. I visited with Gene
Highberger (I consider Gene
my friend) last fall and he told
me I am a 27 model and I think
I am too old to serve more. I
talked to him again at the 60th

and he told me the same story.
I then filed and have attended
90 percent of the county commission meetings since. I have
considerable experience with
boards and board politics.
Top budget priority
I hope to cause a close scrutiny of the budget and hope
to significantly cut out the fat
and lower the county mill levy
where possible. To this end I
was in consultation with commissioner Feuerborn multiple
times regarding the ambulance
budget having gone up almost
600 percent in the last 10 years.

of about $635,000 for the year
2011. Through the efforts of
Commissioner Feuerborn and
the reevaluation of the cost
accounting at the hospital the
budget for next year has been
accepted at the last meeting for
$480,000, or a savings of about
$150,000! This is a significant
savings for the voters of the
third commissioner district.
This is what I am talking about
and is probably possible elsewhere.
On the issue of a new hospital I am not now, nor have I
ever been, in favor of this project since I learned its secret
planning while visiting Harris
in April. In my opinion there
has been no justification of
need given by the local Board
of Trustees and it is only St.
Lukes in its previously secret
memo, apparently paraphrased
in this weeks Review, that is
trying to convince the voters on
this matter. Further, I will help
organize a petition resistance
and carry petitions to stop any
attempt to do a jailhouse endrun around a bond election to
avoid the voters getting to have
the final say on this unnecessary new hospital in these
drought dominated economically depressed times.
Most important issue
I hope to drag the county
into the 21st century with email. At the present time the
voters of the county are not
notified of the issues which are
going to be before the commission so they cant inform their
commissioner what to do. I propose, at no additional cost to
the county, to have the agenda
for the monday meeting closed
at noon on the Friday before.
The agenda can then be posted on the web site the county
already has andersoncountyks.
org allowing about two days
for you voters to examine the
issues and decide if you want to
attend and have some input in
the decisions, or you can e-mail
your elected representative and
inform him/her about your
thoughts and wishes. These
two days also allows the commissioners time to see what the
other side or sides of the issue
might be and be better able to
make the right decision.
We need to understand we
are dealing with a $7 million
spending spree every year and
the commissioners need all the
help they can get. In addition
to the above issues you need
to understand that the federal
and state governments have
decreased to a big measure
their funding of local social
services and social welfare
agencies and those people are
appearing before the commission, averaging about one per
week through the meetings I
have been to since March, asking for the county to raise their
dollar amount which is raising
your taxes if someone doesnt
say no. I know how to say no! I
have missed two meetings since
I filed the middle of March and
have watched this develop, and
this could get worse depending upon the results of the
November election.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 07-31-2012 / Pat Vining
Old tractors that match the old-timer famers who owned them are arranged by their owner, Marvin
Gretencord of Olathe, formerly of Richmond.
Former Richmond man matches old tractors
BY PAT VINING
Special to THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
For Marvin Gretencord of
Olathe, it is enjoyable but also a
fitting tribute to match some of
his collection of older toy tractors with those old-time farmers who used them some years
ago.
When he started to assemble
a display for Open Doors at
the Richmond United Methodist
Church this fair-time, he realized he had about 30 toy tractors that he could easily match
with someone who owned that
model.
I hope people who see these
tractors will remember the past
generation and think about
what good people they were.
These men were hard workers
and good neighbors who would
do anything for each other,
Gretencord said.
Some of his first matches
were of Frank Cox, Kenneth
Cunningham, Preston Stockard,
Leonard and Allen DeGarmo
and Sandy Sims. and their tractors. He mentioned these six
first because he worked for all
of them at one time or another,
and, of course, drove their tractors.
He thought of his father,
Antone Lank Gretencord and
his 1949 John Deere A and his
father-in-law, Lee Martin and
his Case, a not-so-common tractor.
Looking through his large
collection, he realized he had
model tractors like the ones
once owned by Herb Kepple,
Charley Masheter, Lon Mishler,
El Bennett, Earl Wall, Jim
Kueser, Lee Hermreck, Dan
and Robert Lickteig, Henry and
Nora Mersman, and others.
Gretencord included a few
horses in his tractor display,
which were a team with a John
Deere plow honoring his grandfather, Pete Hastert, and a team
with wagon honoring Harry
Cram, which was ordered
from an Amish toy catalog he
obtained from Miller Bros. of
Garnett.
Two of the tractors were
embellished a bit — a small
Santa Claus figure set next to
Gun Benus who played that
part for many years, and miniature ears of corn were near
Cecil Vining who was a champion corn shucker before World
War II ended the contests.
Although Gretencord has
been collecting toy tractors
since the 1960s, it was only
recently that he began to think
about how many of his models
reminded him of men he knew
and respected when he was a
kid and young man.
After being a John Deere
parts man for 30 years, there
isnt a lot about these tractors
Gretencord doesnt know, and
he knows for sure theres an
almost human bond between
most men and their tractors. .
Open Doors is an activity of the Richmond United
Methodist Church that invites
anyone to display his or her
collection just for fun during
the Richmond Free Fair.
This was the ninth year for
Open Doors and there were
28 different displays, ranging
from quilts, books, paintings, to
some more unusual ones Some
folks are already planning what
they might bring next year, said
Mary Hall who organizes the
event each year.
Who
knows?
Maybe
Gretencord will have some
more matches of old-time trac-
tyson
3×5
tors with old-time farmers and
fair-goers can look for someone
they know in his collection.
But before that, it is planned
that his tractors with farmer
labels will be at the Richmond
Community Museum next year,
from Memorial Day through
Labor Day. So, if you missed it
at the fair this year, mark your
calendar to visit the Richmond
Museum next summer.

The Garnett Public Library
will hold a book discussion on
Wednesday, August 22, 2012 at
7 p.m. Brooklyn by Colm
Tibn was the title chosen. The
discussion will be led by Jane
Feuerborn.
Colm Tibn is the author of
five novels, including The Master
and The Blackwater Lightship,
both shortlisted for the Booker
Prize. Brooklyn, his sixth novel
is set in Brooklyn and Ireland
in the early 1950s, when one
young woman crosses the ocean
to make a new life for herself.
Eilis Lacey has come of age in
small-town Ireland in the years
following World War II. Though
skilled at bookkeeping, she cannot find a job in the miserable
Irish economy. When an Irish
priest from Brooklyn offers to
sponsor Eilis in America – to live
and work in a Brooklyn neighborhood just like Ireland – she
decides she must go, leaving her
fragile mother and her charismatic sister behind.
Books are available for
checkout at the library. The
discussions are typically held

Whos watching submarine races now?
Now, before I get started, take
notice that the subject matter
may not be understood by some
of you readers of my column.
Oh? Did I forget to mention
the subject? Well, the subject
is an old-timer term, namely,
Parking. Are you aghast at the
mere thought of such goings-on,
most baby boomers today would
scarcely admit to their children
or grandchildren that THEY
ever went parking. In a more
innocent time, parking was
something almost every young
couple did, whether theyll
admit it or not!
Ive been trying to remember
some of the words used in my
days the 50s to describe this
what should I say? ritual. I do
know the word spooning was
used by my parents and grandparents, but I dont remember
too many in the 50s that used
spooning.
Watching submarine races
was a phrase some played with
but it was something that never
appealed to me. The first time I
fo the 20th Century, and with
the advent of the automobile,
it didnt take long, Im sure, for
boys and girls to find themselves
driving to a secluded place,
gazing at the summer moon
and stars, thinking romantic
thoughts. It is quite strange
how the fresh night air and the
twinkling of a thousand points
of light, along with the reflection of the sun shining brightly
back off the moon would be
conducive to thoughts like that.
Yeah, strange, huh?
In and around Garnett, there
were favorite places to go to find
the necessary privacy just like
in all small towns around.
There were always the two
Garnett lakes and plenty of
lonely dirt country roads.
Of course, I never knew
about any of this myself. I do,
however, have it on good authority that the preceding was true!
Maybe I had better close and
go parkin. Its never too late,
is it?
by Henry Roeckers
Contact (785) 448-6244
for local archeology information.
ever heard it called that, it was
such a mystery: How could
anyone get a submarine into
the Garnett north and south
lakes? I was maybe 12 years old
and had so very much to learn!
There were a few kids who
called it making out, but
there were also many kids who
thought that sounded too much
like something that was cheap
and dirty ( I sure hope all this
is OK for our local newspaper!).
I rather prefer the parking
term. Kinda generic, you know?
One could add the word sparkin parkin and sparkin!
Starting in the early days
1912: Garnett Chautauqua wraps up
Aug. 6, 2002
USD 365 voted last week to
reduce its tax rate for capital
outlay projects and move that
mill levy translating to nearly
$200,000 into another fund to
help pay for teacher salaries. It
was a trade off wrought by what
officials in public education have
lamented since the beginning of
the last legislative session as a
continuing squeeze on education
funding and an aversion to higher
local property taxes.
Aug. 6, 1992
An estimated general budget
of some $274,054 will be raised by
32 mills in taxes due to the adoption of the USD 479 budget. The
district expects to spend $2,410,767
for the 1992-93 school year. Of
that, $308,310 will come from district tax money. The rest will be
covered by state aid and $206,000
the district has left over from the
1991-92 school year. The money
is some $366,000 more than the
exceptionally bad shape.
July 31, 1912
The Royal Italian Guards Band
closes the Chautauqua program
this evening. The lecture by Belle
Kearney, a Mississippi lady, who
does not remember the war but
remembers about everything that
has happened since in the South,
had a great lecture. She gave a
graphic picture of Southern life
before and after the war, and she
has the typical Southern point of
view. She sees the good of the old
system better than the new, but
she sees the bad too. In discussing
the race problem, she said it could
not be settled by deportation, for
the Negro has a right here, under
the law. It wont settle itself, for
the 4 million colored people at the
close of the war has now increased
to 8 million and is growing faster
than any other race on earth. And
it cant be settled amalgamation,
for that would be race suicide to
the whites.

Staff Writer

July 29, 1982
Thanks to a large cash carryover in the bond and interest fund,
Garnett residents will see a drop
of 12.5 mills in their city tax rates.
Estimated tax of the 1983 budget
is $276,348, down from last years
$365,438. Assessed valuation for
the city for 1983 is $7,274,168, up

If thou can? Everything is possible
In chapter 9 of the gospel of
Luke we read of the healing of
a boy with an evil spirit. Jesus
has just come down from the
Mount of Transfiguration with
Peter, James and John. When
they came to the other disciples
they were engaged in an argument with the teachers of the
law.
A man steps out of the crowd
and tells Jesus he has brought
his son who is possessed by a
spirit to be healed. The other
disciples had not been able to
heal the boy.
Jesus engages the man concerning the boy and the father
tells Jesus the boy has been this
way since childhood throwing
him into convulsions. While
this conversation is taking place
the boy falls to the ground and
begins to foam at the mouth.
The man asks Jesus. But if
thou can do anything, take pity
on us and help us.
If you can? said Jesus.
Everything is possible for him
who believes. The boys father
answered, I do believe help me
overcome my unbelief ! Now
the man evidently believed
Jesus was a healer. He would
not have brought his son to
Jesus if he had not felt it would
be possible for Jesus to heal
the boy. Jesus virtually replies,
If thou can lies not with me,
but with thee. The boy was
incapable of believing at this
moment so the burden of belief
passed to his father. Charles
Spurgeon, often called the
Prince of Preachers, explained
the passage this way. Let it

Weekly
Devotional
by David Bilderback
is that this seems insufficient.
They believe they need to provide assistance. Nothing could
be farther from the truth. Jesus
clearly shows the father he
must believe before he (Jesus)
can help.
No where is this better illustrated than in Luke 8 when the
woman who had been subject to
bleeding for twelve years, from
which no one could heal her,
approaches Jesus from behind
in a crowd and touches the edge
of his cloak and is healed.
Jesus did not see the woman
but says, Who touched me?
Now Jesus was in a crowd of
people and the text says they
almost crushed him they were
pressed in so close. Why was
the touch of this woman even
important. Jesus says, I know
power has gone out of me. The
woman had drawn power from
Jesus because she believed that
she could be healed if she just
touched the edge of his cloak.
Spurgeon summarized the text
this way. To believe Christ is
able to save thee is an essential, but to put yourself into his
hands that he may save thee is
the saving act.

on the Holiness of God.
