County brings in great wheat harvest

some of the best wheat in

recent history, with reports
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
If last year was a good year
for wheat, this year could be
called great, and it will mean
millions of dollars for local
of yields as high as 85 to 100
bushels per acre. Thats about
double a normal year.
Farmers are saying this
years crop is the best wheat
theyve ever had, Jim Mechnig
with Valley R Agri-Service said
Man arrested
after wheat
crop dumped
Field owner reportedly pulls gun
after truck driver dumps
crop over non-payment
BY VICKIE MOSS
Monday morning. He has seen
a couple of fields yield 85 bushels to the acre, but estimates
the average is between 55 and
65. Valley R has brought in
145,000 bushels of wheat so far
this year, and Mechnig said it
appears the harvest is about 90
percent complete in his coverage area.
A representative with LeRoy
Coop at Westphalia said he
has seen yields as high as 100
bushels per acre, and as low as
40. Westphalias co-op brought
in 180,000 bushels this season, significantly higher than
last years 107,000 bushels of
wheat.
The bountiful crop will be an
important economy stimulus
to the regional farm economy,
which suffered through a burnout of the corn and soybean
crops last year. Wheat prices
have been under harvest pressure much of the past week,
which means the price has been
declining as more and more
supply came onto the market,
but both the Kansas City and
Chicago Boards of Trade quoted wheat prices closing from
$6.58-6.77 per bushel on Friday.
In a typical year, Anderson
Countys wheat crop is consid-
ered a success if it averages
about 50 bushels per acre,
Shannon Blocker, agriculture
agent with K-State Research &
Extension in Anderson County,
said.
In general, I think its going
to be very, very good, she said.
It ended up a whole lot better
than I had feared.

Tractor Pull Kicks Off

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY An apparent dispute in
a wheat field southwest of Welda on
Friday ended with a local farmers
wheat crop dumped on the ground and
the man himself under arrest for pulling a shotgun on the truck driver who
dumped it there.
Tim Starr, 74, was arrested Friday,
July 5, after calls were received by
Anderson County dispatchers that he
had produced a shotgun during an altercation with hired custom harvesters
working a field just west of the intersection of 800 and Indiana roads in southwest Welda Township. Unconfirmed
reports say Starr hired a custom harvest
company to cut his wheat but refused to
pay the workers after the wheat was

Delinquent
tax sale set
for September
County moving forward with
first delinquent personal
property tax sale since 2004

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 07-09-2013 / Vickie Moss
A competitor gives it his best shot at the Anderson County Fair Tractor Pull Saturday evening at Lake Garnett. A cool evening brought out good attendance at the annual event, which typically precedes the county fair. Remaining fair events begin July 20 with judging and event entries.
4A split could help ACHS sports
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Anderson County officials
plan to organize a delinquent property tax sale in September after years
of delays, aimed ultimately at putting
properties back on the paying tax rolls
that presently pay no taxes at all. The
last delinquent property tax sale was
nearly a decade ago, in May 2004.
The county has the right to seize
properties against which taxes are due
and sell them to recoup those unpaid
amounts.
The next delinquent property tax sale
is set for September 2013, although a specific date has not yet been announced.
Anderson County counselor James
Campbell updated county commissioners on the status of the tax sale a couple
of weeks ago. Campbell said the first
draft of the petition listed 91 properties
that were eligible for the sale, but some
property owners have paid past due
amounts and were taken off the list. At
the time of Campbells update June 24,
the list had been winnowed down to 68
properties.
Campbell estimated another 10 to 20
percent of the properties likely would
be taken off the list after the county officially publishes notices of the
sale. Property owners are motivated
to pay taxes when the sale becomes

Change made to fix
enrollment disparity
in large 4A Class
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Local high
school athletes could have
a better chance of success
in post-season competitions
starting this year, after 4A
principals voted last month
to divide Kansas Division 4A
into two divisions to reflect
enrollment variances.
Anderson County High
School principal Kenny
Kellstadt voted for the
change, saying he hoped it
would allow the district to be
more competitive. Under the
change, the 64 schools in the
4A class would be separated
into two separate divisions,
with the 32 largest schools in
Division 1 and the 32 smallest
Division 2 for postseason and
state competition in football,
volleyball, basketball, base-
ball and softball. The change
will take effect in 2013 for
each of those sports except
football, and in 2014 for football.
The goal of having two
divisions is to eliminate a
large enrollment gap the
largest disparity in all of the
6 classifications. Because of
that disparity, ACHS teams
frequently found themselves

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA Anderson and
other counties in the area
reported a slight increase in
unemployment after months
of a brightening jobs picture.
Overall, however, state officials say the number of jobs
in Kansas are growing.
Unemployment in Anderson
County grew to 6.2 percent in
May, up slightly from 6.0 the
previous month. Compared
to the same time last year,
the countys unemployment
rate is basically steady. It
was 6.3 percent in May 2012.
The Kansas Department of
Labor (KDOL) said the labor
market posted a healthy
increase in jobs over the
month. Seasonally adjusted
private sector jobs grew by
8,700. This is in line with the
Kansas Index of Leading
Indicators (KILI) which
continues to forecast positive employment growth in
Kansas.
Not seasonally adjusted
data showed an addition of
10,300 private sector jobs
from April to May and a gain
of 14,400 jobs from May 2012
to May 2013. The manufacturing industry has seen con-

truck driver refused to transport
the load, and after words were
exchanged with Starr, dumped
the load of wheat on the ground,

Commission Room. Attendance: Eugene
Highberger, Present: James K. Johnson,
Present: Jerry Howarter, Present.
The pledge of allegiance was recited.
Minutes of the previous meeting were
read and approved.

Alan Hauser, Financial Director, met with

2014 budget request with a 3% increase
in their funds.
TEFRA Hearing
A TEFRA hearing was held on the
bond issuance for the hospital construction. Since the hospital is a
501C3 the hearing is a requirement
for the bond issuance. Commissioner
Johnson moved to open the public
hearing. Commissioner Howarter seconded. Approved 3-0. No comments
were made by the public. Commissioner
Johnson moved to close the hearing.
Commissioner Johnson seconded.
Approved 3-0. David Arteberry, George
K. Baum & Company, informed the commission of the different types of ratings
that are issued for bond sales and what
the current interest rate is looking like.
Dorthea Riley, Kutak Rock, presented a
resolution pertaining to the issuance of
the bonds. She explained the steps and
procedures that will have to be done now
and in the future for the issuance. James
Campbell, County Counselor, suggested
waiting a couple of weeks to see what

met with the commission. He presented a proposal from Esri Company to
acquire two licenses to make changes
to the maps on the new GIS system.

8. Steve Markham, Assistant Appraiser,
reported they are looking taking over
the GIS system the end of July. Sandy
Baugher, Register of Deeds, informed
the commission she has received two
bids for shelves for her vault. James
Campbell, County Counselor, stated the
bond sale is progressing. It looks like we
should be able to have the tax sale in
September. He informed the group that
the county has to make some kind of a
stand on conceal and carry. We either
allow citizens with conceal carry permits
to bring them into the courthouse or we
will have to shut off access doors and
have someone there to monitor those
entering. It was the consensus to try for
a one year exemption. John Louk, Shop
Foreman, stated they are getting ready
for chip seal. JD Mersman, Emergency
Management, stated he is working on
the storm shelter registration. Brandon
Jones, County Attorney, stated he put
on training for all law enforcement concerning what is required from them.
There are surplus computer supplies
and laptops in the basement storeroom
if any of the departments are interested. Commissioner Johnson informed
the group the interest rates may be
slightly higher than expected. He also
stated they had received a good report
from Austin Peters on the salary survey.
Phyllis Gettler, County Clerk, stated the
auditors are here and inventories are
needed. They are working on the estimated valuations and should be completed in the next few days.
County Attorney
Brandon Jones, County Attorney,
informed the commission he has done
research into the complaints that were
brought up during the hospital election.
He has gotten a search warrant to find
out who paid for the mailing that was
sent out. He did not find that there was
any violation for the commission regarding the letter to the editor as the letter
was prepared by the hospital and sent
to each commissioner individually. He
has discovered that there is a contract
for West Law that is $400 per month and
was set up on a three year contract. He
would just like to use the West Law that
is procured through the law library.

JD
Mersman,
Emergency
Management, met with the commission.

FINK
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
Published July 9, 2013
The Rev. H. (Henry) Wayne Fink,
died June 13, 2013, at Mercy Regional
Health Center.
He
was
born to Carl
and Kathleen
(Leitzman)
Fink
in
High
Point,
Indiana (near
Martinsville),
lived
in
Fink
M a r t i n sv i l l e
for about 10
years until the family moved to
Gary, Indiana, which he called his
hometown.
Wayne graduated from Froebel
High School (Gary), worked in the
steel mills, and entered the Air
Force during the Korean Conflict,
serving primarily in Nagoya, Japan,
(2 1/2 years) and Lincoln (NE) Air
Force Base (1 year). His service
to his country took an interesting
turn in Japan as he was assigned to
the 5th Air Force as a clerk typist
(with security clearance and met
President Eisenhowers plane) and
as softball player as the general
wanted to win the championship
and needed an outstanding 3rd
baseman. Wayne helped achieve
that championship as Hustling
Hoosier Hank, who performed his
position well.
In his journey back on the troop
ship, he realized there was more
to this life; and when assigned to
Lincoln, he immediately found First
Baptist Church (Pastor and wife,
Dr. Gordon and Ruth Schroeder,
who became his spiritual mentors).
He made the commitment to the
ministry, graduating from Ottawa
(KS) University in 1958 and Eastern
Baptist Theological Seminary,
Philadelphia, PA. in 1961.
He met and married Beverly
Ann Clinton of Garnett, Kansas,
at Ottawa University. While students at Ottawa, they raised two of
his brothers fulltime, Richard and
Harry, as well as also taking care
of his sister Doris Ann and another
brother Glen part time. They later
had 2 children of their own, Jan
and Dan.
Wayne was ordained in
September 1961 and served
churches in Kansas (Sterling;
Meridian Avenue Baptist, Wichita;
and Manhattan First Baptist) as
well as churches in the Detroit
area (Redford, Detroit; Bethany
Baptist, Pontiac); Pennsylvania
(Kittanning); and Colorado
(Lamar). He believed strongly in
the local church and spent 36 years
in the full time ministry as well
as 12 years as interim. Eighteen
young people from his churches
committed themselves to the ministry. He was an active member in
local community ministries wherever he pastored. For example, in
Manhattan he helped in the birth
of Hospice, Meadowlark Hills,
Riley County Council on Alcohol
and Drug Abuse and Shepherds
Crossing, First Baptist Church
Pre-School. He believed strongly
in his denomination (American
Baptist Churches/USA) and served
in many capacities in the states
and regions in which he served as
well as on national-level committees and task forces. He especially
enjoyed his service at state, region,
and national level of the Ministers
Council.
He is survived by his wife
Beverly of the home; Son Dan of
Denver, Colorado; Daughter Jan
Fink Call, Esq. (Jeff), Huntingdon
Valley, PA; Grandchildren Kellye
Call Atlanta, Georgia and Brian
Call, Huntingdon Valley, PA and
Univ. of Texas. He is also survived
by his brothers: Bill (Marilyn),
TX; Hughie (Ethel), IN; Glen, IL;
Richard (Carol), TX; Rev. Harry
(Barbara), Salina, KS; and a sister
Doris Ann Barron, MI.
He was preceded in death by his
parents; a sister Betty Pierson, a
brother Conrad, and a half brother
Kenneth.
His body was cremated and
burial with military honors will be
at the Kansas Veterans Cemetery
with Committal Services on July 12,
2013, at 2 p.m.

Had Obamas world apology
tour of 2009 been effective,
Snowden would be in U.S. jail
As U.S. secrets leaker Edward
Snowden ping-pongs around the
world unrestricted in his global
campaign to undermine U.S. security, one thing that has become
clear is that President Obamas
famed 2009 Apology Tour for
U.S. transgressions during the
Bush Administration did little
to win friends
and influence
EDITORIAL
among our
world neighbors.
From this
point in time
then, it is hard
to see exactly
what Obamas
statements
of contrition
yielded or were
even designed
by Dane Hicks,
to yield in the
PUBLISHER
early months
of his first presidential term. Had
the newly-elected president succeeded in 2009 in somehow making the world love the U.S. again
after apologizing for our sins in
Afghanistan, Iraq, Guantanamo
Bay, Abu Graib, et. al., apprehending Snowden would have
been as easy as a phone call to
any of the nations the traitor has
hop-scotched through in recent
weeks.
Instead, the most valuable
man in the world to our enemies
remains at large, no doubt being
courted behind the scenes by
every spy from every government, friendly or not, which
can profit from the information
Snowden can provide them. The
fact that so many nations have
allowed Snowden free passage
as he seeks an outlaw nation in
which to hide is nothing short of
an outrageous slap in the face to
the United States.
That outrage comes home to
the families of U.S. servicemen
and foreign service officers everywhere even to U.S. government
contractors and government
office staff who may now find
themselves at risk due to information Snowden has already or will
release. The attack on the U.S.
Embassy in Bengazi in September
2012 should be a reminder: Even
after Obamas Apology Tour and
in what for most Americans is a
lull in the War on Terror fronts
of Afghanistan and Iraq, for some
reason, there are still people out
there, particularly in the Muslim
world, who want to kill us.
And there are leaders in the
Cocaine Republics of Nicaragua,
Bolivia and Venezuela who have
offered Snowden asylum from
U.S. prosecution, as opposed to
simply allowing him safe passage like China, Hong Kong and
Russia. We can only hope that
their reluctance to cooperate on a
matter of such security to the U.S.
is remembered by U.S. foreign
aid decision makers when the
next earthquake, famine or other
disaster threatens the stability of
those governments.
And so the fitful embarrassment of our nation continues, and
our security further damaged.
There is nothing more likely to start
disagreement among people or countries
than an agreement.

On the comment made about the road
in Lakeview Estates I think they are
missing one thing and that is the
eyesore of their entrance sign. Over
planted and overgrown and the weeds
have also taken over. I think the lights
no longer even work to light up the

busy worrying about keeping everybody away from their lake and forgot
about their sign.

Justice Anthony Kennedys contempt
BY RICH LOWRY
NATIONAL REVIEW
Supreme Court Justice Anthony
Kennedy has contempt for a swath of his
fellow citizens.
If you disagree with him about gay
marriage, indeed, if you
merely think the federal
government should continue to define marriage
the traditional way while
the states define it however they want, then you
are a bigot. Your views
deserve no political repreLowry
sentation.
They should be ground
underfoot by the five mightiest and most
broad-minded people in the land, presiding
from their temple of rationality and tolerance at the United States Supreme Court.
Kennedy wrote the majority decision striking down the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act,
which defines marriage as a union between
a man and a woman for purposes of federal
law. The decision declared a position that
had been held by President Barack Obama
until the day before as being a relic of barbarism, and set the predicate for the court
— in its wisdom, nay, in its heightened state
of enlightenment — to enshrine its view of
marriage as the law from sea to shining
sea.
The majority held that DOMA inflicts
an injury and indignity on gay couples
so severe that it denies an essential
part of the liberty protected by the Fifth
Amendment. It is motivated by a bare
congressional desire to harm a politically
unpopular group. There is, in short, nothing to be said for it or the point of view of
its supporters. Period. Full stop.
In the end, Kennedy simply declares the
supporters of DOMA hateful people. The
members of Congress who passed the act
and the president who signed it are morally
no better than members of the Westboro
Baptist Church who picket military funerals with their heinous God hates fags
signs. Bill Clinton, apparently, despised
gays. So did 342 members of the House and
85 senators.
Bill Clinton now wishes he hadnt
signed it. Like so many others, he changed
his mind on the issue. Fine. There is nothing to stop Congress from overturning
what Bill Clinton considers his mistakes.
It did it with dont ask, dont tell. It could
have done the same thing — eventually -with DOMA.
But Justice Kennedy and his colleagues
dont want to wait for the democratic process to play itself out, not when they have
such immense power to do whatever the
hell they want.
Properly understood, the courts role
here is minimal, and the decision could
have been rendered in a sentence. To wit,
as Scalia wrote, It is enough to say that
the Constitution neither requires nor forbids our society to approve of same-sex
marriage, much as it neither requires nor
forbids us to approve of no-fault divorce,
polygamy or the consumption of alcohol.
The court stipulated that it still permits
the states, if not Congress and the president, to debate and decide the issue themselves. This is a false assurance, though.
Once the high court has declared that
the traditional definition is a product of
irrational animus, over time it wont be
allowed to stand anywhere.
It is Anthony Kennedys country. We
only live in it.

Review.
State gives us a haircut
Its time to take a look at that new tax
policy wrinkle thought up by the Kansas
Legislature last session. It bears the most
benign name: Haircut.
Amid the contraction of tax brackets
from three to two done in 2012, and the
lowering of those rates last year…there is
this haircut business.
What it means is that some of those
deductions weve all grown cozy withsay
the portion of your mortgage payment that
is interest on the loan or the property taxes
you payare no longer a dollar-for-dollar
reduction in your taxable income.
They get a haircut.
The whole idea was that in 2012
remember, that was an election year for
the House and Senate and most voters
would rather read about a tax cut than
stand by the curb and hope a politician
tossed their kids hard candylawmakers
gave away too much money in tax cuts.
They gave away too much to suit the
governor, and they gave away money that
they never thought would actually make it
into state law. It was just, well, too big for
anyone to believe would actually happen.
So, this year we got the haircutthat
harmless, almost cute sounding little
wordto fix things.
What it means is that when you total
up all the deductions you can claim on
state individual income taxesthe biggies
are home mortgage interest and property
taxesyou give them a haircut, a 30 percent haircut for this tax year.
Now, that means if youve paid $5,000
in interest on your home mortgage, and if
you are in the early years of paying off that
mortgage, most of what you pay is interest;
that $5,000 you didnt pay taxes on last year
becomes $3,500 that you dont pay taxes
on.
The math applies to every other deduction you claim, except for charitable contributions because lawmakers were smart
by Martin Hawver
KANSAS STATEHOUSE COLUMNIST
enough not to mess with charity: While
were used to writing off from taxable
income those deductions, they also go to
churches and to social services and such
that are noble and wind up meaning that
in many cases, the state doesnt have to
finance those social services. Its a tax
break that helps charities and probably
saves the state money, too.
So, what is this haircut business worth
on a statewide basis? More than $100 million in money that will roll into the State
General Fund.
Now, the haircut wasnt the only tax
deal this year, that 6.3 percent sales tax
was scheduled to drop to just 5.7 percent
worth more than $200 million in lost state
revenuebut that didnt happen, did it?
The sales tax was rejuvenated, at a rate of
6.15 percent, still a little drop for those who
count their pennies, but almost imperceptible to most folks who buy anything.
But the clever part was the haircut.
And the name for that procedure, well
it sounds a lot nicer than a comb-over,
doesnt it?

This topic is on the Garnett Police
Department. Seems to be that theres
a select few police officers who like to
pull over young women and harass
them while they have not done anything wrong. This topic is of concern.
Im sure there are other people that
live in Garnett that have had the same
thing happen to them and I am sure
that they feel the same way. I am a
Garnett resident and taxpayer and we
are announcing that we do not tolerate this any longer. Thank you.
I attended the tractor pull that the
Anderson County Fair put on and
we were talking in our group how
much of a shame we think it is that
the fair has no carnival for kids any
more. The tractor pull is great and I
think its well attended by the area
people and everyone seems to enjoy
it, but the carnival thing just sticks in
a bunch of peoples craws. And so we
were talking about it and how Kincaid
has such a nice carnival but thats
about all you hear out of the Kincaid
Fair is the carnival and it is good, it
is a really good carnival and people
come from all over the area to go to
it. But Kincaid doesnt have much of
a fair besides the carnival. So were
thinking, why not put the two of them
together? Youve got a good fair with
all the kids animals and projects and
what-not but no carnival and then
on the other hand youve got a really
good carnival but no real fair to speak
of. Seems like a no-brainer to me.
Thank you.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, July 9, 2013
God will deliver us
In Psalm 34:4, David says,
I sought the Lord and he
answered me; he delivered me
from all my fears. In every
trouble David went straight to
God in prayer and after every
deliverance he went instantly
to God in thanks and praise.
I believe this is a very good
approach for each of us to
take. Our heavenly Father
waits patiently for us to come
to him with our problems. As
earthly fathers and mothers
we hate to see our children
struggle with problems and
often in order to protect them
we must intervene in the situation. God does not do this.
We have a choice, we can go
to him with our problems or
we can try to handle them
ourselves. If we try to handle
them ourselves and fail then
our troubles often become
fears.
Some of the more common
fears are for our health, our
job and our families. God
does not promise us the outcome we desire every time
we go to him with a problem.
What he will do is give us
the strength to endure. If we
develop a relationship with
God through his Son Jesus
Christ he has a way of making
big problems look smaller.
As this relationship grows
we begin to gain more confidence as we see God handle
situations for us. One of the
toughest things to do sometimes is to stay where God
puts us and do what he wants
us to do. What we have to
realize is if we stay the course
we will receive the best God
has for us rather than the
best we can get for ourselves.
I believe the reason we have
so much trouble putting our
trust in God is we live in such
Weekly
Devotional
by David Bilderback
an age of distrust. We live
in an age where people dont
trust the government, business or each other. There is
a sentiment that if you cant
trust what you see how can
you trust what you cant see,
namely God.
The answer to this is given
in John 1:1; In the beginning
was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word
was God. If you by faith
accept this then you begin to
realize the only one to trust
is God. God has always been
there for man but we have
done as Isaiah states. We all,
like sheep have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his
own way. We have disconnected from God yet he has
not abandon us. We buy all
kinds of insurance car, home,
health, accident and even life
insurance to try and protect
ourselves in every way. God
wants us to accept his eternal insurance where we may
dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
Someone has said, Thank
God for the starlight and he
will give you the moonlight;
thank him for the moonlight
and he will give you the sunlight; thank him for the sunlight and by and by he will
take you where he himself is
the light.

Metal detector work continues
Continuing on with my trip
to Hays. At 8:00 a.m. we received
our morning field briefing and
then began excavating more
metal detector targets. Wow!
Exciting finds for all of us: canteen top, mule shoes, military
buttons, picket pins, gun parts,
bar iron, lead bullets, Henry,
Spencer and Sage shell casings,
etc. etc. We did take our usual
break at 10:00, but recovered
targets until lunch time.
After lunch, each detector
operator had one or two trainees assigned to them to learn
detector operation and target
recovery techniques. After
our 3:00 p.m. break time we
split up in recording teams, so
that all of us got some recording experience. Out of the
field at 4:30 p.m. 87 degrees
and very windy. Supper was
at McDonalds. It was after I
had finished eating and was
leaving that something crazy
happened. Well, when I opened
my truck door, there went my
visitors parking pass and all
my daily field notes, flying out
down Vine Street. I felt so foolish and there was absolutely no
way I could recover anything
and no way to get another parking pass until the next morning
by Henry Roeckers
Contact (785) 448-6244
for local archeology information.
at 8:00 a.m. I took a chance and
parked on campus for the night
in my regular space. Tired and
just a little upset at myself, I
was off to bed at 9:30 p.m.
Tuesday June 4, 2013: Up at
6:00 a.m. and it is showering
so nice and cool. My new
Christian friend Kent Burch
from Alma left for home. After
breakfast I stopped by campus
security in Custer Hall and got
my new parking pass. On the
way to the field I passed the
wheat test plots which were
beautiful, as several varieties
were ripening. I also noticed
that their oil wells must be
awfully deep, as they have huge
horses pumping on them.
After morning field brief,
each metal detector operator
had a student assigned to them
as a trainee. I actually had a
seventh grade teacher, Sonya
Cznarniki from Lawrence,
assigned to me. We metal
detected and recovered targets
until lunch break. Found were:
mule shoes, a wide variety of
lead bullets, and shell casings,
etc.
After lunch we metal detected a new area. Wow! Targets
galore. Started recovery after
2:45 p.m. break. Artifacts found:
percussion caps, unfired bullets, early shell casings, flint,
etc. Out of the field 4:30 p.m.
Broken clouds 80 degrees. On
the way home I saw my first
rattlesnake on the road. After a
shower and visit to McDonalds,
I went to Rarick Hall, where
Professor Rob Channel gave a
great talk entitled Dynamic
Distributions. Off to bed at
9:45 p.m. During the night, a
thunderstorm with beating
rain moved through.
Wednesday June 5, 2013: Up
at 6:10 a.m. Cloudy and really
chilly. Breakfast and out to the
site by 7:30 Cool 43 degrees.
Everyone in jackets. We really
did get some much needed rain
last night.

July 15, 2003
What may be a bonus corn
harvest for Anderson County
farmers is coming down to a dire
need for rain in the next week
or so. The patchwork of storms
which have crossed Kansas in
recent weeks dumped a bounty of
moisture on some areas, but since
the storms have been sporadic as
opposed to a carpet-like covering
in eastern Kansas, there are holes
in the country and Anderson
County is in one of them.
A former Garnett man was
awarded the Purple Heart last
week for injuries he suffered during a combat mission in Iraq several months ago. Army Ranger
Staff Sergeant Kurt Sayers, a 1990
graduate of Garnett High School,
and a member of the 3rd Battalion
75th Ranger Regiment based in
Ft. Benning, Ga., was injured
in mid-April when his vehicle
patrol was hit by what was most
likely a rocket-propelled grenade
attack in an undisclosed location
in Iraq.
July 15, 1993
Another case of cattle mutilation has turned up in Anderson
County, making it the third such
incident to have been reported
in the county since January 1993.
The first and second incidents
occurred in the Mont Ida area.
The last incident was discovered by a Kincaid farmer when
he went to check the pasture a
quarter mile from his home. This
time a 1,100 pound red and white
mixed breed cow was killed, her
reproductive organs, milk bag
and teats removed with a bladed
instrument. The other two incidents had similar mutilation.
The citys recent policy of
enforcement regarding building
ordinances has claimed its first
casualty among downtown businesses, and has made at least
one former downtown proprietor
wonder if enforcement efforts
should be directed against building owners who rent the substandard properties, and not the rent-
by Vickie Moss
Staff Writer
ers themselves. A pet store and
grooming business in the basement of the IOOF building on
the northwest corner of Oak and
Fourth streets closed last week
because of the buildings electrical work did not meet city codes.
July 11, 1983
The wheat harvest is nearing completion in some areas of
Anderson County, according to
area grain dealers and yields are
reported to vary from 30 to 60
bushels per acre in the county.
Kincaid reported that the harvest
was one-half to two-thirds complete in that area, and that aver-
ages were from 30-45 bushels to
the acre. They had taken in over
60,000 bushels of grain, and that
moisture percentages were from
12.5 to 13.5. The amount of wheat
was down from 1982 levels. With
wheat prices at $3.29 per bushel
Friday, many farmers were opting to store the grain.
The Helen Gadelman Memorial
Mammography Fund is less than
$1,000 away from the goal of
$16,000 needed to purchase mammography X-ray equipment for
the Anderson County Hospital.
July 11, 1913
Yesterdays Topeka Capital
contained the following sad news
of the death of a former honored
citizen of Garnett and Anderson
County: W.J. Brinckley, a veteran of the soldiers home, was
instantly killed this morning
when he was struck by a Chicago
Great Western passenger train on
the Missouri Pacific track near
Leavenworth. The dismembered
body of the veteran was found
by a track-walker shortly after
the accident. Mr. Brinckley
was highly respected wherever
known. He was one of our leading
teachers. His friends here greatly
regret the tragic manner of his
death.
An enthusiastic good roads
meeting was held at Iola yesterday, attended by over 200 men,
mostly those especially interested
in automobile travel. The purpose was to establish a route from
Winfield to Kansas City, Mo., and
then make a good road over that
route. The route was officially
named The Oil Belt Road. The
Ottawa delegation was not present, and so but little difficulty
was found by delegates who were
interested in locating the route
from Garnett through Greeley,
Lane, Osawatomie and Paola, all
of which towns were represented
by strong delegations.

report planted
acres to FSA
Area farmer and ranchers
should remember that filing an
accurate acreage report for all
crops and land uses, including
failed acreage and prevented
planting acreage, will prevent
the loss of benefits for a variety
of Farm Service Agency (FSA)
programs. Failed acreage must
be reported within 15 days of
the disaster event and before disposition of the crop. Prevented
planting must be reported no
later than 15 days after the final
planting date for the applicable
crop. The final planting date for
Anderson County corn was May
25th and the final planting date
for grain sorghum and soybeans
was June 25th.
July 15, 2013, is the final date
to report CRP, corn, grain sorghum, soybeans, sunflowers and
grass crops. Please contact the
Anderson County FSA Office at
(785) 448-3128 once your crops
have been planted and before the

Do homework before storm with grab-and-go box Debt collection scams rise
MANHATTAN Recent weather
has caused widespread destruction and billions of dollars in
property damage.
And, while those who are
affected can be anxious to put
the experience behind them,
the re-building process can be
slowed by a lack of essential
information.
In times of loss, law enforcement officials typically require
identification before allowing
homeowners to inspect their
property, said Elizabeth Kiss,
K-State Research and Extension
family resource management
specialist.
Insurance companies and
emergency management teams
also will require identification,
proof of ownership, insurance
coverage, etc., to begin the claims
process, she said.
If such documents are stored
in damaged property such as a
home, garage or shed, the documents may be gone; if in a safe
deposit box with a financial service provider that experienced
storm damage, a vault may not
be immediately accessible.
A disaster may limit access
to the Internet, said Kiss, who
advised organizing important
documents and making copies
for a grab-and-go box to simplify
the recovery process.
According to Kiss, an ideal
grab-and-go box should be
fireproof and waterproof, big
enough to store important documents, but portable enough for
members in the family (older
children, if parents are not at
home) to pick it up and carry it
to a storm shelter or a neighbors
basement.
To begin, Kiss advised gathering (and copying) documents
that will be most difficult to
replace first.
Examples might include
birth certificate; Social Security,
Medicare and health insurance
cards; marriage certificate; homeowners or renters insurance
policies, as well as policies for
vehicles and other assets (boat
or camper); and copies of credit
cards and passports.
Copies of financial records
(account numbers and a recent
statement) and cash also should
be included.
The amount of cash will
depend on personal spending
patterns and the number of people in the household, said Kiss,
who also advised including prescription medications for three
days, an extra pair of eyeglasses,
and digital (or duplicate) copies
of family photos.
Let family members know
that you are compiling the information in the box, said Kiss,
who urged families to practice
an evacuation as they would a
school fire drill.
Everyone in the family should know where the graband-go box and emergency supplies are stored, said Kiss, who
also encouraged families to plan
where they will gather if separated during a storm and how
they will get in touch with each
other once the crisis has subsided.
Pending local conditions, she
suggested it may be wise to agree
to call a relative who lives in
another area (not affected by the
storm).
Kiss also advised insurance
customers to review their policy
and coverage prior to annual
renewal, and again, prior to seasonal weather-related events.
Discuss questions and concerns with your insurance provider to adjust coverage before
storm season, she said. A home
should be insured for no less
than 80 percent of replacement
value on the structure and contents.
Insurance companies will
require documentation before
compensating policy holders
for a loss, said Kiss, who added,
Thats why a household inventory is important.
While the thought of inventorying everything in your home
can be overwhelming, Kiss suggested taking photos of each
wall in each room, with additional photos of special items
and cupboard and closet doors
open (to show contents).
Taking a video in (or around)
each room can be a quick and
easy start, she said.
For a more detailed list, which
is recommended, Kiss suggested
starting with one room or one
wall at a time, with a goal of
inventorying one room a month
to complete a household inventory in a year or less.
Once an inventory is completed, it becomes a fluid document,
meaning that if you replace a
piece of furniture, appliance,
home computer, winter coat, etc.,
a quick notation will be all thats
needed to update the inventory,
she said.
Add a copy of the inventory to
the Grab-and-Go Box, and consider sending a copy to a relative
who lives elsewhere, she said.
Every day, dozens of Kansans
call our office to report scams
or potential fraudulent activities.
In the past few months, we have
received an increasing number of
complaints regarding debt collection scams.
The caller will often make
repeated calls sometimes even
to your workplace claiming to be
from a collection agency trying to
collect money owed on a payday
loan. In some cases, the scam artist has somehow acquired a list
of past payday loan customers.
But, in many cases the person
being called has never taken out
a payday loan. Even after informing the caller that you do not owe
the debt, they keep calling.
Usually, the caller will tell you
that you need to make a portion
of the payment immediately, or
you will be arrested. The caller
will ask for your credit card or
bank account information to process the payment. This is just a
trick to get you to give the scammer access to your accounts.
Our Consumer Protection
investigators
have
traced
most of the calls to overseas.
Unfortunately, that means that
it is difficult for law enforcement
officials to find them and shut
them down. The best way to avoid
becoming a victim of this scam is
simply to ignore the calls. Here
Consumer Corner
by Derek Schmidt,
Kansas Attorney General
are a few other ways you can stay
safe:
Dont answer calls from numbers you do not know. If you have
caller ID, only answer calls from
people you know. Legitimate debt
collectors will leave a message
about how to return their call.
Ask for verification in writing. Federal law requires debt collectors to send you written notice,
including how much you owe, the
name of the creditor and what
action to take if you wish to dispute the debt.
Report the number to your
phone company. If you receive
repeated, harassing phone calls
from the same phone number,
call you phone company and ask
them to block that number from
contacting you.
Never give out personal
information over the phone.
Keep your credit card and bank
account numbers safe, and never
share them over the phone with
someone you do not know.
Check your credit report. If
you receive calls to collect a debt
you do not owe, theres a chance
your identity has been stolen.
Richmond Free Fair
Richmond Fair opens Thursday
BY PAT VINING
Special to THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
The Richmond Free Fair is
Thursday through Saturday of
this week, and theres always a
flurry of activity to make sure
everything is ready.
President Sarah Peters and
vice-president Todd Mildfelt
have been busy getting prizes
for childrens games and the
Silent Auction. Others are setting up the livestock tents and
show ring and making other
preparations, including at the
Steinberger farm.
There are 4-H, FFA and open
class entries, but its usually
the younger ones who get most
excited about fair time.
Jayden Lee, 12, will be busy
with a market pig named Roger,
two Black Old English game
roosters and one hen, his racing homer pigeons, woodworking and possibly flowers and a
peacock.
He and his sister, Reagan,
9, are members of Golden
Achievers 4-HClub, Even with
a broken arm in a cast, Reagan
plans to enter five chickens,
pigeons, a duck, cupcakes, gar-

It will keep the kids busy,
said their parents, but having
the responsibility of preparing, entering and taking care
of their entries is a big part of
being a 4-H member.
Amanda Raby of Berea
Boosters 4-H Club will also
enter chickens, probably 11 of
them, a Chinese goose, three
Cornish hens, some baking and
canning. That sounds like a
well-rounded 4-H member!
Even though Faith Mildfelt
is just 10 years old, shes an
experienced fair exhibitor and
this year will enter gardening,
a matching leggings and dress
with scarf set she made and a
dress in buymanship.
The Burrows 4-Hers -Seth, Eli and Cass — will have
chickens, market pigs and other
entries when they arrive at the
Richmond Fair.
There will be foods by
the McCurry members, woodworking by Shelby Cardell and
a wide variety of about any
project you can name And
the list goes on for members
of Berea Boosters and Golden
Achievers 4-H Clubs from the
Richmond area and members
who will come from other clubs
in Franklin and Anderson and
maybe other counties.
As for the rest of the fair, the
night programs are especially
entertaining this year, said
President Peters, and include
Old Time Games as nail driving,
pie eating, egg toss and similar
on Friday evening, followed by
the Big Sugar Band.
Athletic events are at 6 p.m.
Thursday and Friday and 4 p.m.
Saturday. The parade starts at 6
p.m. Saturday with the theme
of Happiness Is . . .
Saturdays program includes
a new activity, a barbeque meal
served from 11-2 that will benefit Canines for Kids. Country

This miniature Ferris wheel
is making its first appearance in public since it was
retired in 1961 from being in
the window of the RoeckersSigler Insurance Agency on
Richmonds main street during the fair.
It was made by the late
John R. Roeckers in the early
1950s from an Erector set and
a small motor for power. The
celluloid dolls were dressed by
Mrs. Roeckers at that time and
Sr. Mildred Katzer made some
new clothes this year.
With a poster that said HIHO, COME TO THE FAIR,
it was a major attraction in
Richmond, especially in its
early years.

Quilt block one of new items at museum
BY PAT VINING
Special to THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
Just a short distance west of
the Community Building, the
Richmond Community Museum
will be open for visitors from 29 each evening, offering a cool
place to browse and learn about
the areas history and heritage.
The newest attraction at the
Museum is the Richmond Star
quilt block on the outside of the
building which beckons you to
come in and see the full quilt
made by Edith Hornberger in
2000 as part of a nation-wide
project.
The 4ft.X 4ft. block was
recently attached to the east
peak of the building and is
part of the Franklin County
Convention and Visitors Bureau
Barn Quilt program.
The largest of the more than
1,000 artifacts in the Museum
is a huge Phillips 66 emblem
donated by Ed Wolken of
Garnett and the smallest are
probably salt and pepper sets
that belonged to Henry and
Oliva Feuerborn and Etta
Blanche Smith-Dahlgren.
The newest piece is a
wheel that is believed to be a
replacement part for the spin-
ning wheel that was in the
Dietrich family log cabin that
is now in Ottawas City Park.
This wheel was given to the
Museum by Todd Mildfelt. The
Museum has a miniature of the
Dietrich spinning wheel which
was given by by Virginia Gault
Cunningham.
Marvin and Pat Gretencords
collection of old-time toy tractors matched with the men
who owned and used them is
at the Museum through Labor
Day. Each of the 30 plus tractors
has the name of the owner and
his years of birth and death.
See if you recognize tractors
used by Jim Kueser, Gun Benus,
Melvin Stockard, J. Frank Cox,
Lank Gretencord….and others.
This display was a crowd
pleaser at the United Methodist
Church during last years fair
and is now at the Museum so
more folks can see it.
There is no admission charge
at either the church or Museum
and theres always a host to
welcome you and answer any
questions you may have. Come
in, cool off, enjoy and learn at
the same time. The museum wil
be open from 2-9 p.m. each day
of the fair.
This year marks 10th year for Open Doors at church
BY PAT VINING
Special to THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
Across the street from the
Richmond Free Fair at the
United Methodist Church, members are starting to arrange
Fellowship Hall for the 10th
anniversary of Open Doors.
The church opens its doors
each day from 4-8 so fair-goers
can have a drink of cool water
and enjoy the air-conditioning while viewing,reading and
enjoying a variety of displays
of hobbies and collections. This
is non-competitive and there
are no sales –its all for sharing and enjoyment.
Really special this year will
be some banner-size antique
tapestries designed by the
brother of Mary Hall, David
Laughlin, of Tucson, a professional artist and sculptor.
The tapestries have religious
themes and art work and were
commissioned by a Catholic
Parish in Chicago 50 years ago.
Church members used these as
patterns to make much larger
wall hangings of different fabrics. Laughlin recently found
the patterns which had been
in storage for many years and
gifted them to his sister, Mary,
knowing she would find a way
to display them.
The United Methodist
Churchs Open Doors will be
the initial showing for Davids
works since they were found.
What a great display for Open
Doors 10th anniversary!
Other displays include

others that will appear at fair
time.
Call Arlen and Mary Hall
if you would like to add some
of your favorite things to this
years Open Doors.
Open Doors is the result of a
comment made by lay speaker
Dennis Peters when he said
in a message that the church
building should be used more
to benefit the community, Mary
Hall then designed Open Doors
to fit a need for fair-goers. The
name is part of the world-wide
slogan of the United Methodist
Church.
Displays may be put in place
Wednesday afternoon, July 10,
or Thursday morning, July 11,
said Hall. Tables are furnished
but those who bring items are
asked to furnish everything
else, including signs to identify
themselves and their display.
Youre invited to visit Open
Doors at the U. M. Church
from 4-8 p.m. each day of the
Richmond Free Fair.

WHEAT…
FROM PAGE 1A
The fate of this years wheat
harvest depended largely on
a cool, wet spring. While the
weather conditions made for
good growth, it also increased
the danger of disease. Blocker
kept a close eye on disease
threats, but said it appears the
yield potential of this years
crop allowed many farmers to
treat their wheat with fungicides and insecticides.
There was disease, but some
of the best yields I heard were
in fields that were treated, she
said.
The sporadic rainstorms
throughout the spring and early
summer delayed the wheat harvest slightly, but recent hot, dry
weeks allowed the crop to finish its growth cycle and gave
farmers a good chance to get
the wheat cut. Even so, farmers
were scrambling to get wheat
cut and soybeans planted before
crop insurance deadlines,
Blocker said.
Wheat prices have dropped
slightly in recent weeks, but
as of Monday remained about
$6.44. Despite the success of the

local wheat crop, farmers in
other parts of the state are not
as fortunate. Western Kansas,
for example, expects to have a
very poor crop, with estimates
that it will be just 20 to 35 percent
of a normal crop. Thats quite
a bit different than Anderson
County, where Mechnig said he
thinks this years wheat will be
about double a normal year.
Even though this years
wheat harvest will have a positive impact on the local economy, Blocker cautions people to
remember that wheat is only
the countys third most popular
crop. It accounts for just 10 to
15 percent of the countys total
crops. Soybeans and corn are
the countys top crops, and their
fates remain to be seen. The
weather delayed those crops
this year, and Mother Nature
has yet to decide how well they
can continue to grow.
Last summers drought
destroyed the corn crop and
much of the soybean crop, leaving wheat as the countys only
success. Blocker said she hopes
that pattern isnt repeated again
this year, but the success of the
wheat crop is still a bright spot.

more of a reality, he told commissioners. Anderson County
Treasurer Dena McDaniel said
property owners benefited from
an extra three or four years to
get caught up; county officials
have been trying to organize a
delinquent tax sale for the past
few years but the process has
faced numerous delays.
County officials sold mineral
rights for delinquent taxes on
May 1, 2010, bringing many of
those properties back onto the
countys tax rolls.
But the last sale of personal
properties for delinquent taxes
was in May 2004, when 18 properties were sold for a total of
$17,234. At the time, officials
said the county collected more
money than was owed as back
taxes, but the amount was still
less than the total taxes, fees
and other interest owed on the
properties. Several properties
sold for as little as $16, which
barely covered the cost to transfer the title. The highest price
was $6,500 for several lots in
Kincaid.
sistent increases in the number
of hours worked by production
workers which has been above
40 hours per week for several
months. This typically is followed by increases in employment, as seen in this months
report.
In May, Kansas recorded
substantial growth in jobs and
a reduction in continued unemployment insurance claims.
Growth was led by the private
sector, with the largest nonseasonal increases in Leisure
and Hospitality, Professional
and Business Services, and
Manufacturing jobs, said Efua
Afful, Labor Economist.
Much of the increase in the
unemployment rate was due to
employees affiliated with colleges, universities and Unified
School Districts which closed
for summer break. Examples
of these are workers in occupations such as food service,
larger schools like Ottawa,
Fort Scott and Chanute, USD

said.

and interesting rocks and items
the children could use to make
prints in their play dough.
Juice boxes and Rice Krispie
treats made by Charlene Tinsley
were served. Sixteen children
attended. Adult helpers besides
Charlotte and Charlene were
Delene Lindberg and Debbie
Wools. Donna Westerman and
LaNell Knoll help a lot also.
Student helpers were Briana

Makayla Jones, Cassie Bowen
and Ridley Black. All help is
appreciated. Next week they
will go off the theme, as they
will be doing things related to
the Fourth of July.
Prasko Home
The home of Bob Prasko was
demolished June 20. A breakfast was held at 7:30 a.m. and
work began at 8 a.m. Work was
completed and hauled away in
multiple dumpsters at works
end around 8:30 p.m.
A 100hp Kubota tractor was
donated by Garrett and Shelly
Strickler to pull the wall out
from underneath the house
using 250 ft. of grade 4 chains
wrapped around the walls
of which two of them broke.
60hp and 30hp Kubota tractors were used to clean small
debris and large concrete footings. Rented from Folley was a
289c Caterpillar Compact track
loader with a grapple to break
the house into small pieces to fit
into the dumpsters. They were
rented from Borens Roofing.
Eight loads of debris with a
total estimation of 80 ton were
hauled away.
Praskos son, Steve and
family and daughter and family Shelly and Garrett Strickler
are very grateful for the many
volunteers that helped with this
endeavor. Those on hand were
Steve and Lynette Prasko,
Garrett and Shelley Strickler,
Russell Klaus, Larry Wittmer,
Mark McCoy, Les and Arlene
Gilliland, Danny Mattheis,
Kloma Buckle and grandson
Gabe Berry. Darren McGhee
will be bringing gravel to help
complete the task.
Around Town
Rodney and Sandra Warren,
David and Karen Warren have
sold their late parents (Bob
and Joan Warren) home and
farm property on 500 Road
near Lone Elm to Christopher
and Kathleen Ivy of Iola. The
Christophers will live there.
It was earlier reported that
Dustin and Susan Ramsey purchased this property. That was
in error. They purchased some
of the late Warren land north
of there.
City council sent a note with
bill this month stating Colony
has been upgraded from a
water warning to a water
watch. Beneficial rains this
year, thus far, have been a blessing from last years drought. But
customers in summer months
should always be careful with
water supply. We should not be
wasteful.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 07-09-2013 / Photo Submitted
One of Colony Lions Clubs latest projects is the placing of a recycling drop-off bin for aluminum cans salvaged by community members. This is located on Broad Street at the triangle of
Pine and Cherry Streets. Pictured in the background (on Pine Street) is the former Physicians
Clinic building.
Colony Lions Club helps community
Colony Lions Club has
improved the community in
many ways throughout the
years. This civic organization was chartered July 1,
1954 with 27 members on the
roll. It has been a progress
booster for Colony. Charter
members have passed on,
but one family member,
Steven Weatherman, whose
father and grandfather were
charter members continue
in this worthwhile club.
One of the larger projects
of the club was the building of a committal building in the Colony Cemetery
in 1991. The biggest project
was the Community Park
at Colonys northeast edge.
It was a joint effort of the
Lions, Ozark Township,
the City Council and interested citizens of the community. Work began in
1976 with completion of a
baseball field, lights and
shelterhouse. The club has
provided major repairs and
maintenance also. They
constructed a concrete
block building in 1988 for
use as a storage facility and
concession stand.
They store hospital
equipment that is available on a sign-out basis
for community citizens.
Each year they sponsor a
student or students to the
Kansas Lions State Band.
Placement of street signs
on Broad Street were made
in the late 80s, traffic signal lights on each side of
the Crest School crosswalk,
the planting of Bradford
pear trees along the business area streets and at the
Community Park, and in
1966 they assisted in building the first fire barn and
later purchased self-breathing equipment for Colonys
fire department.
One of clubs latest
projects is the placing of
a recycling drop-off bin for
aluminum cans salvaged by
community members. This
is located on Broad Street
at the triangle of Pine and
Cherry Streets. Crest 4th
grade class provided the
winning slogan First Step
to a Cleaner World.
