ACHS exit plan
Father, son attacked at home leads to protests
Neighbors say drive
will add to headaches
on Cleveland Street
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT
Vandalism.
Disrespectful
teenagers.
Cigarette butts littering the
yard. Bark pulled from trees.
Decreased property values.
Those are just a few examples of things Cleveland Street
residents say they have put up
with for the past 20 years, since
the Anderson County Junior/
Senior High School was constructed in 1992.
Now, theyre afraid a proposed exit driveway from the
school to Cleveland Street will
create even more headaches.
About six people who live
along Cleveland Street shared
their concerns with the USD 365
Board of Education at their regular meeting Thursday, June 6.
They argued that theyve put up
with a lot over the past 20 years,
and pleaded with the board to
find another option.
But board members say
theyve exhausted all their
options, and approval of plans
for the road appears certain
when the board votes on the
matter at their end-of-the-year
meeting at 6 p.m. June 28 at the
Ray Meyer Gymnasium.

Sheriff Vern Valentine, left, and Deputy Chief Max Skelton wait while the Kansas Bureau of Investigations Crime Scene Unit
processes the scene of a home invasion on East Fourth Avenue just outside the Garnett city limits. Valentine said someone
apparently broke into the home and attacked two men, leaving one person hospitalized with serious but not life-threatening
injuries.
Garnett man remains hospitalized
Attacker apparently knew
victim, sheriff says;
incident under investigation
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Law enforcement authorities continue to search for a man who
broke into a Garnett home and attacked
two men last week, leaving one of them
hospitalized with serious injuries.
The attack at a home on East Fourth
Avenue, just outside the Garnett city
limits, was not random, Sheriff Vernon
Valentine said. The attacker called one
of the victims by name, he said, and
it is most likely an isolated incident
between two people.
The attack occurred in the early
morning hours around 2:50 a.m.
Thursday, June 6, when someone broke
into Laverne Scheckels home at 809
E. Fourth Ave. and attacked 54-yearold Roger Scheckel who lives with his
father. Eighty four-year-old Laverne
Scheckel was injured when he tried
to assist his son, Valentine said. The
father was not seriously hurt and was
able to escape the house. He ran across
the street to seek help from a neighbor
who works in law enforcement.
The younger man was hospitalized
with serious but not life-threatening
injuries. The older man was able to
drive himself to the hospital, where he
was examined and released, Valentine
said.
Law enforcement identified the men
only as father and son and their ages,
but the Review obtained their identities
from other sources.
Valentine said nothing was taken
from the home and there was no evidence that the crime was drug related.
Despite rumors to the contrary, there
were only two men in the house at the
time of the attack.
An incident report from the sheriffs
department called the crime an aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
Valentine would not reveal what type
of weapon was used because, he said,
that information is part of the investigative process.
Authorities have not released a
description of the attacker.
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation
was called to help process the crime
scene, and the incident is being investigated by the sheriffs department.
Officers are continuing to interview
people in connection to the incident,
Valentine said. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to
call the Anderson County Sheriffs
Department at (785) 448-6823.
Faced with ongoing
financial problems,
group seeks churches

OTTAWA
– Mid America
Nutrition Program is going
back to its roots to deal with
financial problems that have
resulted from ongoing state and
federal budget cuts.
Program directors are reaching out to churches to help
overcome financial struggles
that have scaled back the Meals
on Wheels program, director
Sharon Geiss said.
Meals on Wheels programs
were started by churches. When
the federal government got
involved, we became dependent
on government in many communities, Geiss said. We are

Heat follows rain; will it hurt crops?
Drought danger eases,
but fate of local crops
depends on summer
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA Now that a spring
full of rain has eased drought
conditions in Anderson County,
its time for Mother Nature to
turn on the heat.
For the good of crops in the
county, however, that heat better not get too high.
Temperatures are expected
to reach the upper 80s and
lower 90s this week, without a
chance of rain until the weekend. In recent weeks, rain has
been a prominent fixture in the
forecast.
The rain has helped ease
drought conditions that plagued
the county for the past two years.
The U.S. Drought Monitor now
lists most of Anderson County
as abnormally dry, its lowest
level on the drought scale. The
western third of the county
is listed in moderate drought.
Last summer, the county was
listed in extreme or exceptional
drought the highest levels on
the drought scale.
Through the end of May, the
county had received 15.28 inches of precipitation. Thats a little higher than average, which
is 14.74. In the first 10 days of
June, the county has received
another 1.50 inches.
More significantly, perhaps,
is how often it rained. In May,
it rained 15 out of 31 days – basicaly, half the month was rainy.
So far in June, the Garnett
Industrial Airport reported
precipitation seven out of 10
days, although four days had
0.01 inches or less.
Temperatures this spring
also have been on the cool side,
with the highest temperature
reported at 83 degrees in June.
The increased rain has been
mostly good for local crops, KState Research and Extension
Agent Shannon Blocker said.
Too much of anything is never
good, however, and thats true
for crops as well.
The constant rain made for
a thriving environment for disease, and most of the countys
wheat crop is showing signs
of disease. However, its likely
farmers still will see a pretty
decent crop, Blocker said.
A lot of people are pretty
excited about their wheat, but
were definitely seeing more
disease, she said.
The wheat harvest likely
will be delayed a week or two
because of the rain. Wheat harvest typically ramps up in early
July, but Blocker said to expect
to see the harvest begin a little
later that month.
The showers and thunderstorms have delayed the 2013
corn crop by about a month,
as farmers were unable to get

ANDERSON COUNTY BOARD OF
COMMISSIONER MAY 28
Chairman Eugene Highberger called
the meeting of the Anderson County
Board of Commissioners to order at
9:00 a.m. on May 28 at the County
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.
Road and Bridge
Lester Welsh, Road Supervisor, met
with the commission. Highway permit
13.0528:1 for Greeley Excavating for a
sewer main at 350 Road and Jefferson
Road were presented and approved.
Courthouse Trees
Shannon Blocker, Extension Agent,
and Ray Peine, Custodian, met with the
commission. Several trees have recently
been removed from the courthouse yard
due to them dying from the drought.
Discussion was held on if and where
new trees should be planted.
Hospital Bonds
David Arteberry and George K. Baum
met with the commission. Discussion
was held on the calendar for the issuance of the bonds. The interest payments will be due on the bonds in 2014
and the first actual payment on the principal will be due in August of 2015. The
county will borrow the money to make
the interest payments and the county
will also levy $450,000 in its 2014 budget to make the payments. The options
of the ways to put the bonds out for bid
were discussed. If the county refinances
the bonds for the ambulance facility it
would allow for a negotiated sale. The
ambulance facility would still be paid
off in 14 years but the new interest rate
would allow for about a $5,000 savings. The negotiated sale would allow
for a better chance of the bonds selling. David also offered that George K.
Baum could excuse themselves as the
county financial advisors and take over
as the underwriter. They would do this
at a reduced cost than other underwriters and they are also offering this at a
lower rate than they would have charged
as the financial advisors. Commissioner
Johnson moved to proceed with the
notice refinancing the ambulance bond
issue in with the hospital bond issue.
Commissioner Howarter seconded.
Approved 3-0. Commissioner Johnson
moved to authorize an inter-local agreement between Anderson County and
the Anderson County Hospital Board of
Trustees. Commissioner Howarter seconded. Approved 3-0.
Emergency Management
JD
Mersman,
Emergency
Management Director, met with the
commission. Discussion was held on
concerns by citizens that they had not
received any notification from Code Red
in the recent storms a week ago. JD
explained the reason that some may not
get notifications. The commission suggested JD put something in the newspaper that would explain the lack of
notifications.
County Counselor
James Campbell, County Counselor,
met with the commission. Discussion
was held whether to hire George K.
Baum as underwriter for the bond issue
for and whether or not to hire a new
financial advisor. Commissioner Johnson
moved to hire George K. Baum as underwriter for the hospital bond issue and not
hire a financial advisor. Commissioner
Howarter seconded. Approved 3-0.

Local agriculture producers

shuttered in October because
of low corn supplies, high prices, and economic factors like

that class, have missed no more
than two days with no tardies,
and have completed scheduled

Under the previous policy,
students would not have to take

The new policy likely will
affect more students because it
will apply to those who have a

students are keeping on target
with community service goals.
Outgoing board member Pat
Rockers proposed the change
last month, saying that he has

School board members told
the residents they looked at
various options over the past
year and a half, but the planned
exit to Cleveland Street is the
only financially feasible option.
Voters in 2010 approved a $14
million bond issue; about $12
million went to build a new
elementary school in Garnett.
The rest of the money was earmarked for improvements at
each of the other school buildings in the district. At ACJSHS,
the bond issue called for money
to be set aside to build a second
exit.
Early in the process, board
members and school officials
said they wanted to build an
exit south out of the parking
lot toward Fourth Avenue, but
admitted that plan would hinge
on obtaining property from
nearby landowners. Without
cooperation from the landowners, the school board would
have to use eminent domain
laws to take the property a
process that would take considerable time, and legal costs
could exceed the budget for the
project.
Later, after the school board
was unsuccessful brokering
a deal with landowners, they
looked at other options. The
proposed route, which uses land
already owned by the district, is
the only option available before
a December deadline, board
members said.
Nearby residents recently
received a letter about the
proposed road and six people
attended last weeks meeting to
discuss the matter. But after it
became apparent board members are likely to approve the
plans, some neighbors said they

Wed like to be good neighbors and help you here, folks,
but this doesnt solve the problem, Glen Duvall, who lives on
Cleveland Street, said. It saves
money but it pushes the vandalism from my yard into her yard.
If they eliminate the sidewalk
thats there now, youre going
to have the student body en
masse going over Todd Barnes
fence and my fence. Once the
first child gets injured in traffic, it will be weve got to have
sidewalks. But you dont pay for
sidewalks.
Duvall said he had replaced
garage doors that were vandalized, and someone had raked
the fins on his air conditioning unit, most likely caused by
teenagers who passed by his
property walking to or from the
school. He said he had never
pursued compensation for the
damage, but threatened to do
so if the school board continued
with their plans for the road.
Other neighbors relayed
problems they have had over
the past 20 years as students
walk to Cleveland Street either
to meet a ride or continue walking home. Marjorie Hulett said
a fence had been damaged by
students walking over it. Doug
Mader said he witnessed a
teenager give Hulett the middle
finger and curse at her as he
walked over her fence, and said
he caught students smoking in
another neighbors shed. He
frequently finds cigarette butts
on his property, he said.
Other neighbors complained
about not being able to get out
of their driveways, or shared
concerns that the proposed new
road increases the likelihood
that a child would be struck by
a car because those who walk
would have to cross traffic.

Nelson said the proposed route

is a significant concern, and
scores could be improved if students had more experience taking comprehensive exams.
But board members Cleon
Rickel and Gaylene Comfort
voted against the proposal, saying the no-finals program was a
powerful incentive for students
to earn good grades and attend
school regularly.
In my own view, I do not
care for standardized testing.
My view is that students dont
do well in college because they

One in six are closing congregate meal sites or homedelivered meal programs.
The reality of Sequestration
is going to hit home for thousands of seniors in the near
future, Geiss said. Our board
is looking outside the box for
answers. We know our mission
is truly important and more so
as our population ages. We also
recognize that the government
cannot be counted on to provide
the funding we need to continue
to fulfill our mission.
Geiss said she has advertised
the need for more volunteers,
but no one responded. After
turning to churches in the
region, however, she and board
members are starting to see
results. A church in Louisburg
is planning a fundraiser June
22. An Ottawa church pledged
to budget $100 each month for
Meals on Wheels, but already
has collected $300 in one month
through donations.
Mid America Nutrition
began targeting churches about
a year ago, and the program
was slow to take off. In recent
weeks, however, momentum
has been building, Geiss said.
Geiss said she and board
members will continue to
encourage the religious community to help support the
Meals on Wheels program, as
well as consider any and all
ideas to help the program.
Street, which should improve
the flow of traffic. Cars could
enter a loop and park along the
north side of the new road as
they wait to pick up children,
similar to the loop at the new
Garnett Elementary School. A
sidewalk would be moved to the
north side, and children would
be expected to use the sidewalk
to meet their ride.
But Nelson said the neighbors
brought up a good point regarding the sidewalk. Students who
walk home would need to head
south at some point, and under
the current plans that means
they would need to cross traffic
at some point.
He recommended the board
wait to vote on the matter until
they could consult with engineers and find a better option
for students who walk. The
board tabled the matter until
their end-of-year meeting at 6

So when Anderson County residents
complain about high taxes, we have to
remember what were paying extra for:
All the benefits of living here.
That statement may make you smirk
or you may believe it whole heartedly, but
a recent fiscal analysis of county spending by researchers
at Kansas State
EDITORIAL
University boils
the whole idea of
our oft-regaled
Quality of Life
down to the numbers.
And in analyzing those numbers
the report asks
us to dig a little
deeper into the reasons we all live in
by Dane Hicks,
Anderson County,
PUBLISHER
with its particular
geographic location and its pluses and its
minuses, and our own personal connections to it.
Perhaps you live here because its
where your people are from and its
home; perhaps its where your job is;
perhaps you chose it by accident and for
whatever reason just never left. But the
basic common amenities we enjoy are,
more or less, quantified by the expenses
involved in living here.
What are the advantages of living
here? Most of us would say low crime,
less traffic, close parking spaces, outdoor
opportunities, proximity to urban centers, comparatively cheap land and housing, open spaces and basic services like
education and medical care that approach
those available in urban areas. We balance those out against the negatives and
for whatever value we assign to them we
stay.
But we pay in more than negatives
like limited immediate shopping, higher
mileage and fuel costs as we drive to and
from jobs and urban amenities and limited social and cultural opportunities. The
K-State report illustrated how smaller
rural populations end up paying more in
taxes to fund common services that make
those places livable like having decent
roads, law enforcement, medical care and
other government services.
A few highlights of the study period
from 2003-2011:
Population remained stable although
incomes increased slightly.
We saw an increase in assessed value
of property, but less of a steep rise and
fall as seen in the Kansas average over
the time period of the housing bubble.
Our property valuation now is back to
about what it was in 2003.
Our highway funds/revenues
decreased over the period.
Anderson County property taxes are
higher in a per capita comparison to average tax rates in Kansas.
Our expenditures have grown a little
more than average compared to the average for the other counties in the state.
Our sales tax has increased at a
higher rate than per capita averages in
the states other counties.
While these figures include expenses related to the construction of the
Anderson County Law Enforcement
Center and the partial sales tax proceeds
that fund its bonds, they dont reflect
added costs of a new school bond in USD
365 nor the recent addition of costs for a
new county hospital.
Its an interesting exploration into
why people live here. Anderson Countys
population was 14,000 in 1900, and little
by little it fell to around 8,000 and has
remained there for the past 30 years or so.
People move in, people move out, people
die, but our community holds its souls.
Theres a price to live here in dollars
and in lost opportunities, and its fair to
assume when it gets too high, folks will
leave just like they did earlier in the 20th
century.
Living here certainly isnt free, but
then again nowhere else is, either.
Perry the Poacher
BY RICH LOWRY
NATIONAL REVIEW
What you are now hearing across
the land is a collective whine. Blue-state
Democrats are upset that Texas Gov. Rick
Perry dares come and play in their sandboxes, and worse, threatens to poach jobs from
their states.
The website Politico
reports that Perrys
attempts to lure jobs to
Texas are infuriating
to prominent Democrats
around the country.
Lowry
Gov. Jerry Brown of
California — a state that
is Perrys foremost target — has dismissed
Perrys handiwork in scatological terms.
Democrats from another target, Illinois,
huff and puff about the temerity of it all.
He better not take our businesses away,
Sen. Dick Durbin warned.
He better not or what, exactly? What
recourse does Illinois have, except improving its own business environment? Which
would mean Rick Perry is good for Texas
… and for Illinois.
Perry is exploiting the genius of our
federalist system for all its worth. In
his business-recruitment trips, accompanied by trash-talking ads and Texas-sized
braggadocio, he is subjecting other states
to the fire of competition. In an ad in
Crains Chicago Business, Perry offered
businesses in the state an escape route
to economic freedom … a route to Texas.
This is exactly how the Founders
imagined the interplay among the states
working. The George Mason University
scholar Michael Greve refers to the system as competitive federalism. This
federalism relies on exit and mobility
— of capital, and of labor — as a means
of disciplining government, he writes.
Competitive federalism is a terrific prescription for a big, diverse country with
a highly mobile citizenry and a national
government that responds poorly to democratic demands.
Rick Perry may be boastful, but he
has a lot to boast about. Texas had a
6.4 percent unemployment rate in April.
When President Barack Obama recently
made Austin, Texas, his first stop on a trip
touting job creation, Perry welcomed him
with an ad noting, accurately, Over the
last 10 years, Texas created 33 percent of
the net new jobs nationwide.
Perrys opponents assume that there
must be something unfair or wrong
about this. Texas, they scoff, is benefiting
from an energy boom. Well, states like
California and New York also have oil and
gas resources, but refuse to exploit them
fully for political reasons. Regardless,
Texas job growth ranges much more
widely than the energy sector.
Texas benefits from low tax rates, a
low cost of living, light regulation, checks
on abusive lawsuits and its status as a
right-to-work state. California has none
of the above. Although its unemployment
rate has been declining, it is still 9 percent, the fourth-highest in the nation.
Poaching jobs sounds pejorative, but
it amounts to making it easier for people
to do business. The waste hauler Waste
Connections Inc. moved from Sacramento,
Calif., to a location near Houston. Its CEO
told the website The Fiscal Times that it
took the company 16 months to design
and build a new building in Texas, when
the permitting alone would have taken
three years in California.
If blue-state Democrats want Rick
Perry to stop bothering them, they should
quit whining and start learning from his
example.

In light of the recently proposed ordinance 3950 and the comments that the
city attorney and the city manager made
about property owners I think it is time
that they both retire. This isnt a dictatorship. The city commission should be commended for voting it down. This should
not be rewritten or considered again
If the tourists come flocking into Garnett
in droves I think theyd probably notice
our dilapidated streets and sidewalks
long before they noticed that somebody
has something sitting on their porch. If
the city would take the lead getting these
things fixed up maybe the homeowners would follow and keep their yards
cleaned up too. Just a thought.
Last night a guy was at the lake with
his dog and someone was at the shooting range. Scared the dog and it ran off
and two hours later comes running into
a campsite and they called the police to
come get it. So what does this (expletive)
cop do? The dog runs up to him and the
cop pulls a gun and he shoots it. Dog runs
off and dies. The owner found him in a
field covered up with a blanket. (rest of
message cut off)
Just a heads up to all women and young
ladies out walking or running in Garnett.
There is a creeper in our town, basically stalking everyone.. Pay attention
and be on the lookout and if possible take
a friend. Please warn your friends and
daughters. He drives a brown pickup.
Stay safe and be alert ladies.
I would like to address the usage of id
bracelets at the outpatient clinic at the
hospital. What a dumb idea. The ladies
say, quote, its the hospital policy that you
put one on and they will get in trouble.
Well its my policy that trumps your policy and I will not put one on. The nurse
and doctors never look at it anyway. St
Lukes, this is not the big city and your
big city ways will not fly down here. You
are infringing on my personal freedom.
Its like the state telling me that I have to
wear seatbelts. I may get a ticket but I will
never pay the fine.
Hey I havent heard anything or seen
any story in the paper lately about the
illegal post card that got sent out by
the opponents of the hospital bond issue
back during the election or the anonymous and illegal recorded phone calls
that were made attacking the bond issue.
Last I heard this was given to the county
attorney to investigate. Is this going to be
another Garnett style cover up or are we
going to find out who broke the law and
see that theyre punished for it and their
names released to the public?
Kansas Dems have GOP right where they want
Who would have thought that with just
eight senators and 33 House members,
Kansas Democrats might actually have the
Kansas Republican party just where they
want it?
The where is very simple: In charge
of everything. If one day no Democrats
showed up in either chamber, there would
still be a quorum and business could continue.
Now, that doesnt sound exactly like
a position of power, but its a start. Yes,
really.
Its like being able to truthfully tell your
spouse that you didnt eat that last piece
of pie by the light of the open refrigerator
door last night. Deniability doesnt get any
better than that, does it?
Dont like the tax bill? Paring those
income tax deductions for home mortgage
interest, or for the property taxes you paid?
No Democrat voted for that bill.
Dont like the budget which is likely
to send college tuition rates higher? No
Democratic fingerprints on that bill,
either.
Practically, Kansas Democrats can claim
that if you dont like something that the
Legislature did and the governor signed
into law, it was probably the fault of
Republicans.
Now, the job of those minority Democrats
is to let Republicans know it. And thats
by Martin Hawver
KANSAS STATEHOUSE COLUMNIST
not going to be easy, because from the
Democratic side of the aisle in both chambers there are Republicans, and then there
are the new, meat-eating, hard-core conservative Republicans.
The difference? Its that some moderate
Republicans vote with Democrats on some
issues, while conservative Republicans
dont.
And making the voting public know
which are which are which at Republican
primary elections is a daunting task.
Dont figure that the Kansas Democratic
Party wants to spend a dime campaigning
for Republicans at the primary election.
Typically, Democrats dont wind up with
serious, well-financed candidates for races
where a moderate Republican is on the
general election ballot. They can count that
moderate Republican as a sometimes-ally
in their legislative plans.
Its still possible for lifelong Democrats to
re-register as Republican to vote for moderate Republicans in those GOP primaries,
but its time-consuming, and look for next
years Legislature to make it even more difficult. Understandably, Republicans dont
want Democrats messing around with their
primaries.
So where does this we didnt do it to
you strategy play out? Thats the big question for Democrats, and a tough one.
Communicating with Republican voters that their general election candidate
is too conservative for them, or votes
against any of several issues important to
those Republican voters, is a tough job for
Democrats.
Its almost a brand name deal. Anyone
want a Democrat/moderate Republican
bumper sticker on your car? Put it on a
T-shirt, and theres a chance that readers
might spend an uncomfortable amount of
time looking at some Democrats chests.
Well see how this works out…

Many well-prepared U.S. high school
grads dont enroll/persist in college
IOWA CITY, IOWA-Nearly one
in five 2011 U.S. high school
graduates who were prepared
to succeed in first-year college coursework either never
enrolled in college or didnt
return for a second year,
according to national and
state-specific reports from ACT
entitled The Reality of College
Readiness 2013.
The data show 19 percent of
college-ready, ACT-tested 2011
graduates were not enrolled in
a two- or four-year college a
little more than a year later, in
the fall of 2012, including 10 percent who had never enrolled.
Those data are based on graduates who had achieved the ACT
College Readiness Benchmark
scores on at least three of the
four sections (English, math,
reading and science) of the
ACT college readiness exam,
suggesting they were ready for
success in first-year college
coursework in core subject
areas from an academic standpoint.
Academic readiness is vital
to college success, but other
factors such as self-discipline,
financial stress and effective
educational planning can also
have an impact, said Steve
Kappler, head of postsecondary strategy for ACT. Its
important for students to find
the right college, be aware of
financial aid opportunities and
ensure their major matches
their personal interests, among
other things. We need to pay
attention to multiple dimensions of readiness in helping
students achieve their educational goals.
Up to 43 percent of all ACTtested 2011 grads, regardless of
readiness, were not enrolled or
had unknown status by the fall
of 2012. This includes as many
as a third of college-hopeful
students living in states where
the test is not required of all
students. (Taking the ACT is
currently a requirement for
all public school students in 12
states.)
We are losing too many students in the college pipeline,
and that comes with significant
costs, said Kappler. There is
the human cost when students
dont realize their goals and also

financial costs-to the students
themselves, in terms of loss of
investment and income potential, and to the U.S. economy in
general. We must find ways to
get more students into college
and help them stay enrolled.
The ACT reports also suggest an increasing number of
students are following nontraditional paths to college success:
delaying enrollment, transferring to different schools, enrolling part-time and/or taking
courses online.
The reports offer recommendations to policymakers and
college officials on how to help
improve college retention rates.
They also list the highest-rated
retention practices for two-year
and four-year colleges.

reports can be accessed on

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, June 11, 2013
1998 – The Year in Review – 1998
The year 1998 was all about construction and destruction. One of the most destructive events to hit Anderson County
in recent memory was vandalism at the Anderson County Historical Society Museum. More than $200,000 in damage
was reported, although many historical artifacts could not be replaced. In the photo above, teenagers who were not
involved in the incident volunteered to help clean up the damage. From left, they are Chris Gigstad, Aaron Lizer and
Jake Ernest. In the photo at right, members of the historical society survey the damage.

Onlookers gathered to get a peek at the underground hallway on the west side of Garnetts sauare, which was once
an access to the basement businesses on that block. The
passage has fueled speculation about the existence of more
tunnels under Garnetts streets, a popular legend in local
folklore.
Anderson County Sheriff Dave Vaughan picks bidders out of a crowd of about 80 that gathered for the countys
delinquent tax sale, as attending attorney Terry Solander assists. The sale nettted $16,525, or about 8 percent of
more than $197,000 owed against the properties.

CRP soil rental rates for nonirrigated cropland were updated
this year to better reflect location
and market conditions. CRP soil
rental rates in both Allen and
Anderson Counties received a
significant increase.
CRP is the largest USDA conservation program and continues to make major contributions
to improve water and air quality,
prevent soil erosion, and protect sensitive areas including
those prone to flash flooding and
runoff. At the same time, CRP
helps increase and maintain
local wildlife populations and is
recognized as benefiting several
rare species.
The deadline to enroll in CRP
is June 14th, and those with an
interest should immediately
contact their local FSA service
center. USDA has seen significant interest in the Conservation
Reserve Program and wants
to ensure that any and all who
have an interest are given the
opportunity to participate in the
enrollment.

Its the key to roller skating
I recently dug up an antique
that has brought back many
childhood and teenage memories to me. How many of you
remember or ever used the old
clamp on roller skate key. Well,
I certainly do, and if I couldnt
get the key to tighten my clamps
tight enough, I would slip a
couple of mothers canning jar
rubber rings over the toe of my
skates to hold them on tight.
The old roller skates that
fit over a shoe had an adjustable foot and an adjustable toe
clamp. A leather strap in the
back came across the front of
the ankle and buckled to the
outside of the foot.
The foot length was adjustable by means of two sliding
pieces secured by a bolt and
nut. To lengthen or shorten the
foot, the nut was loosened and
tightened with the nut wrench
end of the skate key. The other
end of the key had a square fitting that fit over the worm gear
end of the toe clamps and loos-

ened or tightened the clamps.
The entire skate could be taken
apart by means of the one skate
key.
The first practical roller skate
was designed in 1863 by James
Plimpton of Medford, Mass.,
who broke from the inline construction of 1819 and used two
parallel pairs of wheels, one
set near the heel of the shoe
using springy carriages known
as trucks. This construction
was first known as the rocking skate (and is now known
as a quad) because it allowed
the skater to easily shift on the
skates in order to smoothly
navigate turns and perform
other maneuvers. Thereafter
the first great recreational
roller skating craze swept the
United States and western
Europe, where rinks were built
in both small towns and large
cities. At the turn of the 20th
Century, rinks constructed in
the Chicago Coliseum and New
York Citys Madison Square
Garden attracted thousands
of customers on their opening
nights. The quad style of skate
became the most popular skate
for the next 80 years.

1993: County lanfill faces closure
June 24, 2003
Garnett City Attorney Terry
Solander shot back at comments
made in a newspaper article earlier this week by Garnett Church
Furnishings owner Mike Wedel,
which Solander said unjustly
made the city out as the bad
guy in its demand for delinquent rent payments from the
manufacturer. Wedel told The
Review that he was disappointed in the way the city made its
demands on his company, which
was delinquent some $33,000 on
rent payments it owned to the
city and Anderson County for
the building the city and county
financed under a special lease
agreement. He said at no point
had h e or his company been
personally contacted by anyone
from the city. Solander took
issue with those statements,
saying the city took immediate steps after the filing of the
first lien against the company to
meet with Wedel and his wife to
discuss the issues. The Wedels
were out of the country at the
time, but a closed-door meeting
was later held with Mike Wedel,
city and county legal counsel, a
member of each of the commissions and city officials.
County Sheriff Darin Dalsing
floated the question of using
the newly constructed Garnett
Church Furnishings building
in the Golden Prairie Industrial
park as the county jail, but didnt
get any encouraging words from
county commissioners. Dalsing
posed the question during the
commission meeting, saying
parts of the building could be
configured to form the adminis-
trative center of a new jail with
modular buildings attached to
provide cell space for inmates.

Anderson Countys landfill
will not be accepting any more
household wastes as of October
1993, as the Anderson County
Commission approved closing
down the facility. The commission is following in the footsteps
of other area counties in closing
the landfill in the face of new federal landfill regulations, which
would make it too cost prohibitive for the county to continue
collecting trash at the landfill.
Commissioners recently signed
a letter of participating in the
Lakes Region Compact aimed at
developing a regional plan for
handling solid waste. However,
as one of the smallest counties in
the compact, Anderson County
hasnt received much help from
regional personnel.

If the grant could be acquired,
90 percent of the cost would be

Why the God
man?
A bit of sage advice that
deserves consideration is as
follows; A good memory is
fine but the ability to forget
is the true test of greatness.
We all know individuals who
have carried ill feelings and
grudges through life even
unto death. This is a terrible
burden to bear one that God
himself does not bear.
In Isaiah 43:25-26 God
speaking to the prophet Isaiah
says concerning Gods mercy
and Israels unfaithfulness,
I even I, am he who blots
out your transgressions, for
my own sake, and remembers
your sins no more. God is a
holy God and cannot sin himself. When we sin we defile
our creator. At the cross God
turned his face away from his
beloved Son Jesus and the
world was plunged into darkness and my sins and yours
were placed upon the true
Lamb of God. This is what
God meant when he said he
blots out transgressions for
his own sake.
When Jesus died on the
cross God was satisfied that
sin, that originated in the
Garden of Eden and exists
today, was fully atoned for.
The work of Christ reveals
both the justice of God and
the righteousness of Gods
way of salvation by faith in
Jesus Christ. In dealing with
Christ as sin-bearer and the

human person as sinner, God
does not compromise his
own holiness, nor the necessity of sins being atoned for.
(Reformation Study Bible)
In describing the righteousness of God through
faith the Apostle Paul states.
For there is no distinction:
for all have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God, and
are justified by his grace as a
gift, through the redemption
that is in Christ Jesus, whom
God put forward as an acceptable atonement by his blood
to be received by faith.
God is a just God. He did
punish sin, mine and yours,
in the Person of his own Son
Jesus. God offers a way of
salvation for you and for me
by faith in Jesus. This makes
God the just and the justifier of one who has faith in
Jesus.

Ministry on the Holiness of
God.

Introducing the K-State Agricultural
Lender Survey: A new look at
agricultural lending conditions
MANHATTAN — With todays
volatile commodity market
and questions surrounding the quality of credit for
various agricultural sectors,
information about the current and future state of agricultural financial conditions
is in high demand by those
interested in and following
agriculture.
However,
information
about these evolving conditions is somewhat limited,
especially on the short- and
long-term outlook. To track
and forecast these credit condition developments, agricultural economists at Kansas
State University have created the K-State Agricultural
Lender Survey.
A recurring question
asked by farmers is, what
does the future hold for agri-
cultural credit conditions?
said Allen Featherstone, professor of agricultural economics and program director
of the Master in Agribusiness
degree at Kansas State
University. We set out to
find answers to this and other
questions for the agricultural
lending industry, by working
with our industry partners
and other colleagues at KState to conduct this survey.
The purpose of the K-State
Agricultural Lender Survey
is to not only answer questions about the evolution of
agricultural credit conditions,
but also to provide a broader
overview of all agricultural
lenders. While information
about agricultural financial
conditions does exist, most
of it is from the commercial
bankers viewpoint and lim-
ited information is available
on expectations or forecasts
of the short- and long-term
evolution of credit conditions.
Ultimately, the survey should
help producers, agribusinesses and lenders make more
informed and sound financial
decisions.
While the March 2013 survey results provide many
insights into agricultural
credit trends, one really
stands out competition for
agricultural loans is rising.
One respondent went as far
as to say, Competition is
fierce for agricultural loans.
This is especially relevant
because the survey respondents stated that farm loan
volumes rose and are expected to rise in the short-term. In
addition, large lending institutions, those with more than
$50 million in agricultural
loans, reported the largest
gain in farm loan volumes,
with the expectation for further increases in the nearterm.
For more information
about the outlook for agricultural credit conditions, go
to the K-State Agricultural
Lender Survey.
This survey was developed
by K-States Department of
Agricultural
Economics
Brady Brewer, doctoral candidate; Brian Briggeman,
associate professor and director of the Arthur Capper
Cooperative Center; Allen
Featherstone; and Christine
Wilson,
professor
and
assistant dean, Academic

TOPEKA Kansas borrowers
who submitted a valid foreclosure payment claim through the
National Mortgage Settlement
will receive a check this month
for approximately $1,480,
Kansas Attorney General Derek
Schmidt announced today.
More than $9 million will be
distributed to 6,350 Kansans.
Eligible borrowers had their
mortgage serviced by one of the
settlements five participating
mortgage servicers, lost their
home to foreclosure between
January 1, 2008, and December
31, 2011, and submitted a valid
claim form. The participating
servicers are Ally (formerly
GMAC), Bank of America, Citi,
JPMorgan Chase and Wells
Fargo.
These payments are in addition to mortgage assistance that
already has been provided to
more than 1,500 Kansans under
terms of our settlement, said
Schmidt, noting that more than
$54 million in mortgage relief
already has been provided to
Kansas homeowners. Through
this additional payment, borrowers will receive compensation for loan servicing abuse
that happened in the past.
Schmidt said accepting
the payment does not limit a
borrowers ability to seek additional relief through a separate
private lawsuit or other claims.
Nationally, the settlement
administrator will mail validclaim payments to borrowers
listed in 962,278 loan records
from June 10 through June 17.
The payments come from a $1.5
billion pool of funds set aside
by the mortgage servicers as
part of their legal settlement
with the attorneys general and
the federal government.
In February 2012, 49 state
attorneys general, including
Attorney General Schmidt,
and the federal government
announced the historic joint
state-federal National Mortgage
Settlement with the countrys
five largest mortgage servicers.
Preliminary data shows that,

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, June 11, 2013
Project 17 trains first leadership
teams, selects executive director
Project 17, a wide-ranging project to strengthen and
promote regional cooperation
between the seventeen counties in Southeast Kansas to
increase economic opportunities, improve public health,
and increase civic leadership
is pleased to announce that the
first teams of civic leaders from
the region have completed the
first phase of formal leadership training at the Kansas
Leadership Center.
Leaders from each of the
seventeen counties included in
the project: Allen, Anderson,
Bourbon,
Chautauqua,
Cherokee, Coffey, Crawford,
Elk, Franklin, Greenwood,
Labette,
Linn,
Miami,
Montgomery, Neosho, Wilson
and Woodson were provided the
opportunity for intense immersion leadership training at no
cost through a grant from the
Kansas Leadership Center.
This training provided participants the opportunity to discover a framework for exercising civic leadership, to develop
a better understanding of the
challenges facing the region,
and to learn a process for
developing and working within
highly effective teams. With
this learning, participants are
5B
LOCAL
now equipped to make progress
on challenging health and economic issues facing the region.
Selection of another group of
civic leaders to complete this
training will begin soon. This
training process continues
to build on the work recently funded by the Rural Jobs
and Innovation Accelerator
Challenge Grant through the
U.S. Economic Development
Administration, USDA-Rural
Development, and the Kansas
Department of Commerce
to involve local stakeholders throughout the region in
identifying economic development assets and opportunities,
then linking those assets and
opportunities to businesses and
other resources throughout the
region.
Additionally, Project 17s
committees comprised of committed civic leaders continue
to meet and make progress
on defining core strategies
and goals which will help the
region economically prosper. One of the goals which
had been defined was to hire
an Executive Director for the
project. Project 17 is pleased
to announce Heather Morgan
has been hired in this role. Ms.
Morgan brings a variety of
experiences related to economic
development and public health
in addition to serving in leadership roles within local and state
governments and the non-profit
sector to the position. She will
work with the regions communities to promote regional
collaboration opportunities,
build and strengthen networks,
and ensure Project 17 meets
its established goals. As she
begins in this role, she will also
be meeting with and listening
to business and other civic leaders throughout the region to
identify economic development
and public health collaboration opportunities throughout
the region. The opportunity
for the seventeen counties to
work together to build a stronger region will provide the collective strength to tackle the
complex issues of today and be
prepared for increased opportunities in the future for positive
growth, said Morgan.

Governor highlights 2013
Legislative Session
TOPEKA Kansas Governor
Sam Brownback issued the
following statement regarding the completion of the 2013
Legislative Session.
I began the 2013 Legislative
Session reflecting about the
long tradition our state has
of being bold in doing what
was right, even if much of
the nation took another way.
The work accomplished these
last few months affirms our
state is leading the way.
I will sign a pro-growth
tax reform bill that continues our efforts to reduce the
tax burden on all Kansans.
The legislation builds on last
years historic tax cuts and
further reduces state income
rates and cuts the states
sales tax rate. It includes
$110 million in tax relief
for our working poor and
expands the successful Rural
Opportunity Zones from 50
counties to 72 so more counties can attract new residents
and grow their populations.
We continued our efforts
to reverse the trend of an
expanding government by
moving the Kansas Turnpike
Authority under the direction of the Secretary of
the Kansas Department of
Transportation. By bringing
these two large organizations
together under the direction of the Secretary, we will
serve the public better and
more efficiently.
We reformed how judges for the Kansas Court of
Appeals are appointed.
Known as the federal process,
this important step towards
reforming our system of
judicial selection will restore
public confidence in our judiciary and give all Kansans an
equal voice, whether directly
or indirectly through elected
representatives, in choosing
our judicial leaders.
And soon, I will carefully review and consider
a two-year budget bill that
increases funding for our
K-12 schools and tech education, funds core services,
keeps state spending within
the states means and leaves
a healthy ending balance.
A two-year budget will give
agencies and schools the ability to plan ahead.
Under the leadership of
House Speaker Ray Merrick
and Senate President Susan
Wagle, the 2013 Legislature
worked hard on behalf of
their constituents and accomplished a great deal. This session will forever be remembered as the one that turned
the state around the corner
on the road to prosperity.
Schmidt: Check out your contractor
before making home repairs
Spring time storm damage
can require quick clean-up and
unscheduled home repairs. In
addition, as the weather warms
up, summer begs us to get started on home improvement projects that we neglected during
the winter months.
Every year at about this
time, the Kansas Attorney
Generals Office Consumer
Protection Division experiences
an increase in complaints about
home-improvement and homerepair scams.
The vast majority of contractors offer legitimate services and quality results. But
when the contractor engages
in fraudulent or deceptive business practices as part of a scam,
our office has the authority to
intervene.
A scam we often hear about
involves someone claiming to
be a contractor approaching a
homeowner saying they have
leftover materials from a
neighbors job. Then, they offer
to do your work at a discounted
rate if they can get a portion of
their money in advance. Many
Consumer
Corner
by Derek Schmidt
Kansas Attorney General
times, these scammers leave the
property with your money and
never return.
You should always be especially cautious of people offering door-to-door home-repair or
storm clean-up services. Often
these transient sales people
single-out homes where the
homeowner is vulnerable to
high-pressure sales tactics an
older person who lives alone,
for example.
Here are a few simple tips to
remember:
If a deal sounds too good to
be true, it probably is.
You should always get
multiple written bids on home
improvement projects to ensure
quotes are reasonable and com-
petitive.
When selecting a contractor, it is always wise to ask for
local references. Working with
a well-known, reputable local
contractor is always the best
way to go.
Friends, family and neighbors are the best sources for
recommendations.
You should make sure any
contractor you work with is
insured and carries all of the
required local permits.
Never give final payment
for any work until it has been
completed to your satisfaction.
If you believe you are the
victim of a scam, our office
is here to help. You can file a
complaint with our Consumer
Protection Division by visiting
our website, www.ag.ks.gov, or
by calling (800) 432-2310. Even
if we find that there has not
been a violation of the Kansas
Consumer Protection Act, the
staff in our office can provide
information on options to settle
your disputes.
