Figures: New Covid
cases on the decline
Media coverage
declines as Covid-19
becomes old story
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA An analysis by a
Kansas government and media
watchdog organization is noting a continuing decline in
new Covid-19 cases in the state.
New data provided by the
Kansas Department of Health
and Environment through
June 8 shows the 7-day moving average of new COVID
case increase dropped again
for the week to an all-time low
of 0.9%, according to an analysis of data from The Sentinel,
a news service of the conservative-leaning Kansas Policy
Institute.
The previous record low of
1.2% was set the prior week
according to the KDHE figures.
The 7-day moving average has
declined each week since the
state began reopening on May
4.
Those statistics are notable
since Covid-19 reporting by
state media has diminished
since the state began reopen-
ing measures in late May.
Governor Laura Kellys initial
emergency order expired May
26, and legislators approved a
new order with reduced executive authority during a special
session Kelly called earlier in
June.
The statistics also mark the
sixth consecutive week that
the 7-day moving average has
declined. Most of the state
began a slow reopening on
May 4, when the 7-day average increase was 6.8%; some
officials feared that reopening
would cause a spike in new
cases but that hasnt happened
over the last five weeks.
Sixteen Kansas counties still have no reported or
suspected COVID cases, and
another 19 counties have three
or fewer.
Just a little over one-third
of one percent of the Kansas
population has or is suspected to be infected with COVID19. The highest infection rates
(between 4% and 5.5%) are the
southwest Kansas meatpacking triangle of Finney, Ford,
and Seward counties. But
fortunately, the meatpacking

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT City commissioners last week
voted to open the city swimming pool for
the remainder of the summer in mid July
after it was previously closed due to the
Covid-19 shutdown. That facility leads the
way among area recreation offerings and
activities working to reopen to offer ser-
vices for the summer and fall.
City manager Chris Weiner said last
week the commissions move came with
a challenge staffing and training a pool
manager as well as lifeguards in less
than 30 days to make the opening deadline.
That tight window for staffing would be
complicated by a rapidly closing window
of operation, as the pool typically closes in
mid-August when school starts and college
and high school-age staff heads back to
school.
In a sometimes tense discussion at
Tuesdays commission meeting, Garnett
Recreation Director Phil Bures told commissioners reopening the pool would
require more staff and personal protective
equipment to ensure the safety of pool
staff and members of the public. Bures
said the pool would likely draw more people from surrounding communities where
more cases of Covid were reported because
many of the pools in those towns are
closed.
The swimming pool at Iola will open as
of June 29 and the Burlington swimming

Ethanol plant to pass 15th anniversary
amid old challenges, new opportunities
Company will drop
live annual meeting
in favor of online event
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The East Kansas
Agri Energy ethanol plant celebrates its 15th anniversary
this summer after weathering
a collapse in fuel prices but
finding an important niche in
the demand for hand sanitizer
alcohol rooted in the Covid-19
health emergency.
CEO Bill Pracht recapped
the recent challenges and new
opportunities in a pre-annual
meeting letter to investors a
letter that also detailed how
Covid-19 distancing measures
would affect the companys
regular August annual membership meeting. Instead of
meeting in person for a morning program and lunch, Pracht
said, the annual meeting would
be conducted in a virtual online
format.
As has been the case at
previous annual meetings
since the price of oil began
a decrease several years and
plummeted precipitously earlier this year, EKAE investors
will have much to grasp at the
meeting. Sale prices of ethanol
closely follow those for petroleum fuels, and those price
drops have put EKAE under a
financial pinch in recent years.
Pracht told investors in the
letter pricing modifications to
the companys ethanol customers refiners who blend percentages of ethanol with gasolines to meet federal fuel emissions standards and a new
market for sanitizer helped
sustain the company over the
past year.
Sale of our ethanol for sanitizer usage has supplemented
our fuel pricing modification
and allowed us to stabilize our

financial position, Pracht
said. Ethanol for sanitizer use
has brought higher prices than
ethanol for fuel.
Pracht said the plant was
operating about half capacity,
with fuel-grade ethanol making
up about 30 percent of sales
and higher grade sanitizer ethanol making up the balance. He

and oil prices after Hurricane

Chairman Jerry Howarter called
the meeting of the Anderson County
Commission to order at 9:00 AM
on June 8, 2020 at the County
Commission Room. Attendance:
Jerry Howarter, Present: David Pracht,
Present: Leslie McGhee, Present.
The pledge of allegiance was recited.
Minutes from the previous meetings
were approved as presented.
Bond Refinance
David Arteberry, Stifel, Nicolaus,
Company, Inc, met with the commission. Underwriter bids to refinance
the new hospital bond were received
the previous week and were reviewed
with the commission. David thinks the
bids do not portray enough of a savings to proceed and should wait until
the call date to move forward. He also
suggested to engage Briar, who had
the highest savings rate bid, to monitor the market and if savings reached
2 million to begin the refinancing process. The Commissioners agreed to
move forward with engaging Briar.
Kansas Legal Services
Ty Wheeler, Kansas Legal Services,
met with the commission. He presented the 2020 budget request for
his organization. They are requesting
$8,500 which is no increase from the
previous year. He also gave an overview of the services they provide to
Anderson County.
City of Garnett/Solid Waste
Chris Weiner, Garnett City
Manager, and Scott Garrett, Solid
Waste Supervisor, met with the commission. Chris requested to have a
summer clean up week due to the
scheduled week in the spring was
cancelled. Scott informed the commission that he is very busy with
household trash and C&D and cannot
keep up if there is an influx of waste.
The Commissioners decided to not
reschedule the spring clean-up week
and will reevaluate whether the landfill
can accept additional waste for the fall
clean-up week at a later date.
Public Comment
Residents of Welda and the
surrounding area met with the
Commissioners regarding the semi
and vehicle traffic on county roads due
to the US-169 road project. Concerns
were heard about speed, road signs,
and the sheriffs department patrolling
the area. The Commissioners
informed the residents that a resolution was signed to designate roads
as local traffic only which allowed the
Sheriffs department to write tickets
for those who are not local including semis. Sheriff Valentine gave an
update that his department wrote 3
times the amount of tickets in May
than they did in March. Donna Schmit,
KDOT, said she would look into signage but think what is up is all that
they can do. Lester Welsh, Road
Supervisor, said the county has never
had road construction like we are
experiencing so its an adjustment for
everyone.

Commissioner Howarter seconded to

FAGG
SEPTEMBER 17, 1955 – JUNE 9, 2020
Ross Eugene Fagg, age 64, of
Garnett, Kansas, passed away
on Tuesday, June 9, 2020, at his
home.
He was born on September
17, 1955, in Garnett, Kansas,
Ross was the second of five
sons born to Jerrold Don and
Mary Ellen (Tomberlin) Fagg.
Colony Christian Church Ministers of Reconciliation
Denny Eilenstine gave the
Communion Meditation on the
importance of examining yourself before taking communion.
Jesus gave thanks to God before
taking the very first communion. He made a point to tell
his apostles that if they didnt
examine themselves before
taking communion, they were
guilty of sinning against the
body and blood of the Lord.
That they would call Gods
judgment upon themselves.
God would discipline them (us)
so that they would not be condemned with the world.
Pastor Chase Riebel gave
the sermon on Ministers of
Reconciliation. We leave
our church home and go into
a world of chaos and confusion because the enemy is not
ready to give up yet. Good and
evil are more defined, but our
struggles are not new. Solomon
said that there is nothing new
under the sun. What causes
fights among us is being jealous of others and coveting what
they have, and then we ask
God for things, but our motives
are all wrong. If we repent of
our wicked ways, God will help
make our paths straight. We
are Gods ambassadors. We
must work hard to persuade
others to follow him too. As
an ambassador, we are living
in a foreign country and that
can be difficult, so we must do
his good works without being
bitter or jealous. We need to be
the light in our communities,
reconciling others to God. (Ref:
Ecclesiates 1:9; James 3:13-18 &
4:1-3; Genesis 6:3, 5, 11; Acts 2:3840; Luke 3:4-6; 2 Corinthians

Do you seek gods
face or hand?
In 2nd Chronicles 7:14 the
Lord spoke to Solomon and
said; If my people, who are
called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and
seek my face and turn from
their wicked ways, then will
I hear from heaven and will
forgive their sin and will
heal their land. God gives
Solomon the conditions which
he requires for forgiveness.
This is a very rich text and one
statement strikes me as very
important. God says, Pray
and seek my face. I wonder
how many of us truly seek
Gods face? I believe we seek
more the hand of God than
his face. We pray to God to
help us with our problems or
change our situation. We want
the hand of God to intervene
when we need help. For some
God doesnt become involved
until they have exhausted all
options on their own then a
prayer is offered.
I dont believe this is what
God had in mind. You see
we cannot seek the face of
God by merely sending a random prayer toward heaven.
Seeking Gods face leads to a
change in behavior. What God
is saying is if you are going
to seek my face, if you really want me to turn and look
at you, then turn from your
wicked ways. The pursuit of
God by man when he is living
in sin without compulsion to
change is futile.
God tells Solomon if the
people turn from their sin he
will hear their prayers. Is God
saying here if we dont turn
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
from our sin he will not hear
our prayers? I dont know
but it is worth thinking about.
In Isaiah 59:2 we read, But
you iniquities have separated
you from your God; your sins
have hidden his face from you,
so that he will not hear.
I ask the question? Why
should God send a blessing
in the form of an answered
prayer that may allow us to
continue to live in iniquity?
When you or I sin we break
our fellowship with God and
we know God hates sin. But
we also know he forgives sins.
In Isaiah 43:25 we read; I even
I, am he blots out your transgressions, for my own sake,
and remembers your sins no
more. So what must we do
to seek Gods face? We must
pray, For the eyes of the Lord
are on the righteous and his
ears are attentive to their
prayer, but the face of God is
against those who do evil. 1st

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, June 16, 2020
OPINION
The dark side of Black Lives Matter
Former Minneapolis policeman Eric
Chauvin murdered George Floyd. The world
witnessed Floyds last conscious moments on
video shot by bystanders. Chauvin was fired
and has been charged in the killing, which most
people regardless of color agree was brutal and
unnecessary.
Black Lives Matter wants you to believe
systemic racism racism built into our social
system aimed at blacks and to a lesser degree
other non-whites is responsible for confrontations between primarily young black men and
police predominantly white police. This is a
smokescreen which denies the facts and falsely
impunes police and other citizens around the
country.
Thats because theres a common denominator of criminal behavior in many of these
confrontations certainly the high profile ones
that have generated an apparent justification to
loot and burn neighborhoods and now to literally occupy a multi-block area of Seattle after city
government surrendered it.
Back in 1991 Rodney King was driving
drunk, leading police on a high speed chase
through Los Angeles because a DUI would violate his parole on a robbery conviction. That
was no excuse for the beating he got from cops,
but King himself controlled the beginning of
his story that night.
Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., stole from
a convenience store then fought a cop for the
policemans gun before the cop shot and killed
him. George Floyd, whose criminal record
dated back years and amounted to numerous
stints in jail and prison, tried to pass a fake $20
bill at a Minneapolise store before the incident
that led to his police confrontation. He resisted
getting into the patrol car and was subsequently subdued and handcuffed before Chauvin
held his knee on Floyds neck for nearly nine
minutes. Toxicology reports said Floyd had
fentanyl and methamphetamine in his system
when he died. Store employees who confronted
Floyd about the bogus $20 bill before calling
police said he was very intoxicated and not in
control of himself.
If we cant ignore the element of race in these
incidents, we also cant ignore the role criminal
activity played. The chronology is too often the
same regardless of race: Subject is apprehended
for a crime or suspected crime, suspect resists
arrest, police reaction ends in subjects death.
The solution should be simple: dont be a criminal and dont resist police authority to enforce
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
the law.
Black Lives Matter wants to focus on race
as the issue instead of criminality, but the
statistics dont support the fervent emotion of
that claim. Last year nine unarmed black men
were killed by police, while 19 unarmed white
men were killed by police. Black men overall
6 percent of the population commit 44 percent
of all murders and 50 percent of violent crime.
The number one cause of death for black men
age 15-34 is homicide and 93 percent of all
homicides are victims of someone of their own
race.
Most Americans regardless of race live by
the rules. We go to our jobs, we pay our taxes,
we drive at least somewhere close to the posted
speed limit. Most of us dont drive drunk or
high, we dont shoot at members of rival gangs
and hit innocent bystanders, and we dont fight
the police if were in a situation where were
detained or arrested. This doesnt mean were
not flawed or that were some kind of heroes,
but it does indicate we at least have a core
respect for the society we live in and the laws
we enact to protect us.
Its apparent that the black lives that matter
most to Black Lives Matter are those who can
fit a false narrative of surging racism and rampant police brutality which can be leveraged for
political gain, not the black lives being forfeited
every day on the streets due to gang violence
and homicides committed other blacks.
How unfortunate that the energy thats gone
into protests and the sacking, looting and burning of some of Americas cities apparently cant
be brought to bear against the foundational
problems that cost most black lives. ###

I must say it saddens me that anyone, black,
white, Native American or Asians or others
have went through the turmoil theyve had to
suffer. I have lived through almost 6 decades
and as a kid I saw wars, police wars and just
people standing on the street get shot down in
cold blood. But I still have hope in my heart that
life will go on after Im deceased and my family
will keep standing up for what is right and
more good will come to pass. I just must stand
for the history of our country America. Tearing
down statutes, renaming streets and military
places, whats next? Book burning? Our children need to know the past and treat the fellow
person as they want to be treated. May god bless
us all. Thank you.

Kellys cell phone data test fails rural counties
Does it bother anyone that public officials
still refer to aggregated cell-phone travel data
to judge how people have reacted to the easing
up of corona-virus restrictions?
There was another reference recently to
this information, which is collected by several
organizations and published on websites as if
it gave a true picture of how people behave.
The information was discredited in Kansas
when state officials referred to alleged poor
grades assigned to rural counties by one of
these sites.
State Rep. Adam Smith was most indignant
when some of these officials, including the
governor and the secretary of health and environment, referred to the travel data, saying
rural residents didnt appear to be taking the
pandemic seriously.
Noting that 45 Kansas counties had received
an F rating in a Unacast mobile phone movement tracking report referenced by Dr. Lee
Norman of Health and Environment and Gov.
Laura Kelly, and that these counties had been
publicly chastised by the governor for not
cooperating to stay home and save lives, he
alleged it was just another example of officials
in far-off Topeka trying to cram all sorts of
shapes into round holes.
My guess is that this shotgun-precision
reprimand was made without any attempt to
understand what these communities are doing
locally and actually assessing a true score on
their efforts during this pandemic, he wrote.
GUEST COMMENTARY
STEVE HAYNES, Haynes Publishing Co.
Perhaps Gov. Kelly should get to know the
entire state she serves before making such
broad accusations.
We couldnt have said it better.
Rep. Smith lives in Weskan, on the far side
of Wallace County, where antelope might possibly outnumber people. Those who live out
there have to drive a lot, and many of them
work in essential jobs such as farming or
public service.
I live 22 miles from my nearest grocery
store and gas station, Rep. Smith pointed out.
A two-mile radius from my house would yield
no other human residents … let alone any businesses. Regardless of what I need, shopping of
any kind requires a lot of miles.
It just isnt possible to use averages to
compare people in tightly populated Johnson
County with rural areas, where population is
far less dense and distances are great.
In the city, it may be possible to get everything you need within a mile or two, but not in
Wallace County. Or most of rural America.
Yet just last week, national media were
trying to use the same cell-phone figures to
compare how states were reacting to eased
restrictions.
How does this make sense?
In Washington, even in Topeka, people just
cant fathom what its like to live in the country, to have to drive half an hour to buy milk
or pick up parts for a combine. Most have only
a vague idea of what a combine does anyway.
And in New York or Washington, where emergency rooms and intensive-care wards were
full of virus victims, perhaps it is hard to
understand how people who live in zero-case
counties react to this situation, compared to
city folk.
Its just one more example of the huge
chasm between rural America and the cities.
Wed challenge our governor and Dr. Norman
come out here and experience life in an area
where people behaved, and as a result, have
almost no active cases of Covid-19.
It might be a real education for both.
And leave the cell-phone statistics behind.
Look for square holes for square pegs.
Steve Haynes is president of NorWest
Newspapers in Oberlin, Kansas
New York Times now sides with anarchy
Confronted by a clear and present fascist
threat, the staff of The New York Times rose
up to humiliate and punish quislings in its
ranks.
In a now famous op-ed, Arkansas Sen. Tom
Cotton called for federal troops to quell riots
and looting, an idea that the Times staff considered worthy of Oswald Mosley or Benito
Mussolini.
As the Times was disavowing the Cotton
piece and preparing to push out or demote its
top opinion staffers for publishing it, columnist Michelle Goldberg wrote a response called
Tom Cottons Fascist Op-Ed.
She acknowledged that the Times published
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Taliban
leader Sirajuddin Haqqani and a similar case
could be made for hearing from Cotton, an
enemy of liberal democracy. But the difference is that Cotton is calling for what would
almost certainly amount to massive violence
against his fellow citizens.
The sophomoric and ahistorical charge that
President Donald Trump and his supporters
are fascists is now a staple of elite left-of-center
opinion.
There is no doubt that Trumps periodic
blustery assertions of having total authority
are gross, would freak out Republicans if a
Democrat made them, and deserve to be condemned. The president loves strength and is
drawn to theatrical demonstrations of his own
power.
But his critics are unable to distinguish
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
between wild statements at press briefings or
in cruel tweets on the one hand and establishing a one-party state or invading France on the
other.
Law and order, a favorite Trump theme, is
not fascism.
Consider Cottons op-ed. The senator called
for federal troops to assist in subduing rioters
and stipulated that a majority who seek to
protest peacefully shouldnt be confused with
bands of miscreants. If this is fascism, any
effort to stop people burning down buildings
now has to be considered dangerous.
Masha Gessen of The New Yorker wrote of
Trumps photo-op with a Bible in front of St.
Johns Church, perhaps he had seen a picture
of Hitler in a similar pose (a photo of Hitler in
a similar pose that circulated on social media
afterward was a fake).
Trump, like Cotton, distinguished between
peaceful protestors and rioters, and surely one
purpose of his tough talk on federal troops was
to prod governors and mayors to get a better
handle on the situation on their own.
Much has been made of protestors being
pushed back from Lafayette Park before
Trump walked over to St. Johns Church, but
Attorney General Bill Barr has explained this
was an effort to expand the perimeter around
the park, where there had been mayhem and
fires the night before.
Kristallnacht it was not.
No one has talked about crushing peaceful protests. No one has urged the stifling of
dissent (no one, that is, outside of The New
York Times and other woke circles). No one
has talked of suspending the election. In fact,
Trump has been faulted for wanting an overly
normal election, with a traditional convention
and standard in-person voting.
In a long piece on Trump collaborators
in The Atlantic, Anne Applebaum noted how
references to Vichy France, East Germany,
fascists, and Communists may seem over-thetop, even ludicrous. But dig a little deeper, and
the analogy makes sense.
No it doesnt. It only speaks of the lack of
seriousness of those who insist on making it.

June 1920 – World adjusting
to equal rights for women
June 2010
Anderson County residents
could be receiving more tickets for traffic violations starting June 30 if they are one
of the 33 percent of people
who still dont wear a seatbelt
when driving or riding in the
front seat of a vehicle. Starting
July 1, Kansas will enact the
seatbelt law making it a primary law so officers can stop
and ticket drivers even if the
officer doesnt observe another traffic violation. The law
also makes wearing a seatbelt
in the backseat a secondary
violation.
June 2000
Concerns over the problems that might arise from
suggestive movements and
the lack of a qualified sponsor
for the program led the USD
365 school board to take no
action on a patron proposal
to add a drill team to the high
school activities roster. The
board was approached in May
by parents Cindy Lickteig and
Sheila Kratzberg to add the
activity as an alternative for
girls who wanted to participate in activities but werent
involved in cheerleading or
sports.

June 1990
Members of the Anderson
County Hospital Board of
Trustees listened to a proposal concerning establishment
of an out-patient cardiac rehabilitation clinic at the hospital
during the regular meeting.
Centerville resident Sharon
Bailey met with the board
to discuss her proposal for
the program. Bailey detailed
her work in establishing and
running other such clinics
in Kansas City hospitals and
thought the source of revenue
might be a possible source to
pursue.

Room rates may be increasing at the Anderson County
Hospital if the 1981 budget is

LOCAL
approved by the prospective
rate review committee of Blue
Cross Blue Shield. To remain
a participating hospital with
Blue Cross, hospitals must
submit budgets to the committee. Possible room rates will
be $109 for a private room up
from $101; $98 for a semi-private room up from $90; $70
for the nursery up from $66;
and $50 for skilled nursing up
from $46. The rates would be
per day.
June 1920
Now that women have
gained what in the early Susan
B. Anthony period used to be
called equal rights, it is
not surprising that business
signs should begin to reflect
the changing times. The
Women Citizen calls attention
to the innovation in London
of so-and-so and Daughter,
which advertises to the world
that women need no longer be
silent, and often unpaid helpers of male members of their
families. Probably the day is
not far off when mothers and
daughters will serve in successive congresses and sisters
and brothers will be delegates
in the same presidential convention.

ple of Kansas down again. Ill say one thing
for these leftist liberal Democrats, they just
keep pushing until they get their way and keep
taking away our rights and freedoms. The
Republicans have a majority but you just let her
have her way. Us Republicans are the reasonable ones. The Democrats keep pushing and the
Republicans keep backing up to avoid trouble. It
is just like the frog in the warm water that gets
hotter until hes boiled and cooked. Stand your
ground Republicans.
Proud of the Garnett Lions Club. Sixty motorcycle riders in a great new and expanding sport.
Putting us on the map. Ive heard great things
about it.
Well I see our great cable company has sold out
to a new owner and they made a new contract
with the city. Can the city tell them to please get
the cable to work? This company has changed
owners more times than any company Ive ever
known. Its just ridiculous.
There was one item of merchandise that was
completely safe during all that looting of those

A shout out to all of you who have wrecked the

The Church that continues to serve Richmond Fair for 4-H and FFA only this year
by Dennis Peters
Before there was a Richmond
there was a town called Berea.
It sat 3 miles east of present day Richmond. With the
railroad Richmond emerged
and Berea faded away. Berea
though only a small community had two churches, this is the
story of one of them.
On Sept. 28, 1867 the
Associate Presbyterian Church
of Berea was organized by
William Osburn. 14 members
were accepted into the congregation and John Taylor and
John J. Spencer were installed
as the first church elders. This
church took the name Bethel.
Its not known where they
worshiped at the beginning. On
Jan. 30, 1871 one acre of land
from John A. and Nancy S.
Cunningham was signed over
to the church trustees, David
Wynkoop, Robert Harbison
and William Tippin. This land
was given to the church as long
as they continued to use it as a
place of worship. When it was
no longer used for this purpose
the land would go back to the
Cunninghams. The location
was the northwest corner of
the northeast quarter of the
southeast quarter of section
15 township 19 range 20. This
would have been located just
outside the city of Berea on the
east side of Ohio Terrace.
A 28×45 frame church was
built and used for the next nine
years on this location. At the
congregational meeting of Feb.
11, 1880 a motion was made to
purchase 1 acres from Mary
Spencer for $20.00 and move
and enlarge the church. The
location would be the northeast corner of Butler and Ohio
roads, just across the road from
the Berea School. A committee
was appointed to purchase the
property and get the building
moved. At meeting of May 10,
1880 the committee reported
they hired a man to move the
building for $30.00, but they
couldnt get him started and
decided he wasnt dependable.
It was moved and seconded
that they take the building
apart and move it themselves
and to enlarge it from 28×45 to
34×46 motion carried.
Congregation meeting of
Oct. 1881 the object of the meeting was to discuss donating the

seats from the old church to
the Dunlap Academy for use
in their mission house. It was
decided to donate them and to
have them sent by Nov. 15th.
The Dunlap Academy was
one of a number of schools
established in Kansas to teach
ex-slaves. Dunlap had a close
tie to the Bethel congregation.
Andrew Atchison was the principle, teacher and main fund
raiser. One of his three teachers was A. J. Harbison both
having come from Bethel.
This congregation had a
library. In the congregational
meeting of June 6, 1889 a committee was appointed to move
the library to the church. I
dont know where they were
moving it from or how many
books they may have had.
Various ministers served
this congregation until 1877
when Rev. R. A. Boyd accepted
the position for two thirds of
his time. He continued to serve
the congregation faithfully for
the next 22 years resigning in
1900.
They spent the next several
2 Homes
years trying to find a minister.
In 1908 Rev. Willis M. McNeel
accepted the call and served for
the next 11 years till 1919. This
congregation due to declining
membership and the inability
to find a minister to serve in
the 1930s they disbanded.
In 1944 the building was sold
to the United Brethren Church
at Greeley later to become the
United Methodist Church and
was used as their social hall. To
move the building to Greeley
was no simple task. The bridge
over the Pottawatomie would
not accommodate the size of
the building for the move. They
had to wait till the water was
low enough to ford the creek.
As I understand it the
Methodist Church of Greeley
has closed, but the town plans
to continue to use the social
hall. If this is true I applaud
the towns efforts to continue
to utilize and preserve this old
building and its history.
The Richmond Free Fair July
9, 10 & 11 will be a fair for 4-H
and FFA entries only, modified
to fit COVID-19 requirements,
said Laurinda Sobba, General
4-H Superintendent.
We considered having no
fair at all, then Show and Go,
but have decided this is doable,
said Sobba. All the same classes
as last year will be judged, only
in somewhat different ways, if
needed. For example, there will
not be conference judging of any
classes, she explained.

It was sent to the Museum
this year by Rays son, Norman

The Museum had previously
been given Rays 1922 grade

graduation diplomas, which
are displayed.
Now, the pennant will be

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, June 16, 2020
Richmond men will publish book about Civil War Colonel
Mention John Brown and
one might imagine the famous
painting at the Topeka Capitol
of a wild-eyed maniacal man
with a Bible in one hand and
a rifle in the other. While
Brown was a central figure
in igniting the violence over
slavery that erupted during
the Kansas territorial period,
it was another man, James
Montgomery, who deserves
part of the credit for helping
push slavery out of the territory and ending it for good
during the Civil War.
Montgomery is clearly one
of only a handful of people
who was instrumental both
in stopping the spread of slavery on the western frontier
and then commanding black
troops during the war that
freed an enslaved race,: said
Dave Schafer of Stonewall,
TX.
Todd Mildfelt of Richmond,
agrees. By 1860 Montgomery
had become a militant abolitionist, not only as a conductor
on the Underground Railroad,
but keeping runaway freedom
seekers on his farm and openly defying the Fugitive Slave
Law.
The men began their study
of James Montgomery and
formed plans to write about
him about 11 years ago. Both
the research and writing
have taken much more time
than they thought it would,
but with a February 1, 2021,
deadline with the University
Oklahoma Press, their work
must be finished before long.
The books title, at this point,
is Journey of a Jayhawker:
The Militant Abolitionism of
James Montgomery.

High School, James Montgomery

in the same
year, they went to Pittsburg
State University where they
earned degrees in history and
both added a masters degree.
Schafer retired last year after
32 years as a park ranger with
the National Park Service.
He had 10 assignments in
his career, retiring from the
Lyndon B. Johnson National
Historical Park.
Mildfelt retired this year
after teaching special education classes for 36 years, most
of those with the Southeast
Kansas Educational Service
Center, or Greenbush. He has
published two childrens book
and one titled The Secret
Danites of Kansas – the First
Jayhawkers, which was a
catalyst for the Montgomery
book.
Researching the experiences of the 34th United States
Colored Troops in 1863 and
1864 is especially rewarding,
said Schafer. Im inspired by
their perseverance in the face
of racism and discrimination.

black men donned blue uniforms with the brass letters

How will Kansas re-open schools?
An unprecedented planning

Kansas schools in August

possibility of another interrupted school year because of
the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hundreds of education leaders, including school board
members, parents, health officials, legislators and others
have been working on plans
to reopen schools, ensure that
facilities are safe and academic rigor and accountability are
maintained.
The challenges are immense.
School officials face numerous conflicting views in which
some have demanded schools
open as scheduled while others
have said they wont return to
schools if the risk of spreading
COVID-19 continues.
In addition, decisions to open
and close schools will largely
be up to local school and health
officials. Its going to have to
be really tight communication
between the school district and
county health, said Deputy
Education Commissioner Brad
Neuenswander.
And when schools reopen
they will still have to provide

Cont – The Skinning Tree A novel by G. Dane Hicks
Due to social distancing directives in view of the present Covid19
emergency and the fact that many
Review readers are sequestering to varying degrees in their
homes and looking for reading
materials among ways to pass the
time, we are publishing segments
of Review publisher Dane Hicks
2003 novel The Skinning Tree
(Began March 24) over the course
of the next several weeks.
Chapter 6 Cont
*picking up from where left on from
June 9th edition
Geez, whyd he have to shoot
the dog? Wendell moaned slowly.
Maybe cheating at cards?
McKane cracked. Or a jealous
lover? Wendell didnt laugh.
McKane knelt closer to the animal.
Geez, Mac, dont touch it, its
got germs and stuff on it.
Im not gonna touch it,
McKane said, raising the mass of
brown and white fur with a stick.
Dried blood matted the hair on
either side of the animal, its
underside covered with leaves,
grass and dirt in the hardened
gruel. Its mouth was partly open
displaying its tiny teeth, its partly squinted glassy eye stared
motionless into space.
Thats kinda weird, Wendell
said, pushing his glasses back up
on his face and turning toward
the trailer, cupping his hand
over his eyes to block the morning sun. All those shell casings
were on the back step over there,
but this little buildings between
the step and the dog.
Dog may have run over here
after he was shot and then died,
McKane said, looking at the
blocked line of fire. But, those
were 9mm casings theyd blow
a pretty mean size hole in a dog.
Hes not missing near what hed
be missing if he got hit with a 9
mm slug, McKane used the stick
to push at the bloody wound on
the top of the body, separating its
mass of hair.
Theres the entry, he said,
probing through the hair to a
tiny lip of bloody, separated
flesh. Thats no 9mm hole. He
lifted the animal again, and this
time rolled it over, probing again
at the blood-soaked mass. Yeah,
theres an exit wound, but its not
big enough to have been from a
9mm either. Little gun. Probably
a .22 or something. McKane
scanned the space around him.
Timber thicket to the west,
fenced pasture to the north,
junky yard leading to the county
road to the east, house and driveway to the south. Somebody else
shot this dog.
Who?
You said the other day
Bookman thought all those house
fires were meth shacks?
Yeah, thats what he told me
anyway, Wendell looked back
toward the run-down old trailer.
And thereve been a lot of
them lately, right? Like just in
the last month or so?
Yeah. Seems like theyve all
been clustered here just recently.
McKane rose to his feet and
dusted his hands before thrusting them deep into the pockets of
his khaki pants. And these guys
just seem to dry up and blow
away? I mean theyre gone, and
nobody seems to know where?
Yeah.
McKane looked into the stand
of scrub timber, nodding his
head. Somebodys coming down
on the meth makers, he said,
turning toward the pasture. It
sounds stupid, I mean there cant
be much of a drug market around
here theres just not that much
money at stake.
You mean like some kind of a
drug war? Wendell crinkled his
nose and squinted underneath
his thick glasses, his mouth
open slightly. In Sharon
County?
McKane
shrugged and nodded,
slipping his sunglasses
back on his face.
Heck, its too much
coincidence. Too close
together. He turned back
toward the trailer, where
Bookman and another
deputy now stood talking
near the back steps.
Somebody wants these
guys gone.
Israel dropped a pry
bar flat on the ground
in the corner of the
dust-filled room next to
a bunch of other tools.
Chalky dust hung in the
air like campfire smoke
from the disintegrating
plaster and lath walls
the men had been tearing away from the inside
of the building all morning. It
was hard, physical work, but the
morning had passed quickly for
Israel, whose thoughts were consumed with Lara.
They hadnt spoken since
yesterday neither of them had
been around when he left to join
the crew at seven oclock this
morning and he wondered if
shed told the Reverend. That
would tell him a lot, if shed told
the Reverend.
But, what difference did it
make? He hadnt touched her. He
hadnt done anything. And the
look on her face showed she was
the guilty one. Guilty of what?
Guilty of wanting him, thats
what. Guilty of wanting out of
some stupid, small town, preachers wife life, even if it was just
for a few minutes in a throbbing,
sweaty clench on the floor of the
hallway outside the bathroom.
Tender felt some victory in that
look on her face. It wasnt just
him. It was her too.
All day his mind had been
possessed with her. Each strike
of the sledge hammer against
the brittle old walls had been
a thrust into her, her soft, thin
neck tensed with excitement;
her mouth open, breath rushing
back and forth over lips plump
with blood coursing from their
passion. Hed watched her, the
way her dresses gathered across
her hips and leaned forward at
her chest, pressed by the bounty
of her bosom. She moved soft and
fluid, her eyes quiet and intense
as if she was always looking for
something and sizing up whatever it was that she saw. She
would be warm and ample in his
arms, and his mouth salivated a
little at the thought of consuming
her body with his, of exploring
every orifice and every fold of
her flesh, and of ending in the
final, brutal frenzy.
Those thoughts followed him
as he left the old building for
lunch with three of the other
men. He didnt care for their
association, but he wanted to listen to them, to hear what they
knew or thought they knew and
if it might be anything of value
to him. He walked with them,
silently, listening to their conversation, and turned into Margies
Dinner Bell. Packed with noontime traffic, the only seats they
could find were at the counter.
Tender took the seat at the far
end, noticing the pretty Hispanic
girl with the long dark hair as
she sat a plate of food down in
front of a customer seated down
the bar.
A tiny glint of light reflected from the shiny heart-shaped
locket that hung around her
neck as she leaned forward at the
counter to pour coffee into a cup.
At seventeen, Hanetta Sanchez
hadnt gone to school regularly
for the past three years, shuttling back and forth between her
estranged parents homes. Her

on the slaughter floor of one of
the beef production houses, and
her mother, an alcoholic, lived
in Los Herreras, in old Mexico,
where Hanetta had spent her
childhood. Four months ago she
and her sister and a friend in
Garden City had run off to a
friends in Emporia, and then
to Henrysville a month later
because the rent was cheap and
because it was closer to their
house cleaning jobs in Johnson
County. Growing up so close
to the Texas border she spoke
English well, and her personality and her looks had made her
a favorite among the regulars
at Margies, where she worked
breakfast and lunch and then
drove to Leawood three afternoons a week with her friends
to clean houses. She was a thin
girl with giant brown eyes and
long, beautiful black hair that
fell across her shoulder as she set
the coffee pot down and moved to
pour water for the dirty workers
climbing onto stools in front of
her. From the end of the counter,
Tender could see her entire form,
from the white tennis shoes up
the faded jeans to the slightly
faded purple blouse she wore,
covered in front by the apron
with the Margies Dinner Bell
logo. Her earrings of braided gold
hung daintily from her lobes and
a single pearl inlaid oval locket
on a thin gold chain adorned her
neck. She poured the water and
smiled, and the men watched her
instead of their glasses.
A thin, older man wearing a
smudged white apron and a hair
net came out from the swinging kitchen doors, looking for
someone. He saw Hanetta, and
sauntered toward her, wiping
his hands on a stained white
towel and wearing a troubled
look on his face. Tender focused
his attention on the two as the
cook pulled the girl aside, next
to a gray plastic pan that held
dirty silverware bussed from the
nearby tables. One of the other
girls had to leave, the man told
Hanetta, and they were going
to be short from dinner to close
tonight. Could she work tonight?
She glanced back at him and
smiled, nodding, anxious for the
extra hours, although Tuesday
night tips werent much to get
excited about. Tender followed
her with his eyes.
Chapter 7
Elliot Bilieu strode briskly down the hallway of Carter
Chemtechs offices, a white towel
straddling his neck and his
light blue jogging suit whisking
as he walked. His bright, crisp
white tennis shoes made a gentle sound against the short pile
carpet of the main office area as
he passed the reception desk by
the elevator and the throngs of
office cubicles, headed toward
the glass and aluminum framed
offices at the back of the building.
Professionally-dressed
employees cut their water cool-
er discussions in mid-sentence,
came to attention and smiled
and greeted him, yielding to his
route the way one does when the
CEOs walking down the hallway. He smiled at them and nodded, wiping at his mouth and his
sweat-moistened hairline, holding an athletic bag in his other
hand with a racquetball racket
handle sticking out from its side.
The work area hallway gave
way at the back of the building to a set of thick glass doors,
behind which sat another receptionist, this one younger, prettier and her accessories more
opulent. She sat behind a deep
cherry-finished desk on a burgundy carpet that was far more
plush to the step than the base
office grade on the other side
of the glass. She was on the
phone, but in looking at him she
made it clear she would interrupt the call if he needed her. He
walked passed her, moved down
the quiet, oak paneled hallway
three doors to the end, and swept
open the brass-handled, heavy
oak door into his office. There, a
man and two women stood from
their seats around a dark cherry
conference table, where theyd
waited thirty-eight minutes for
their one-thirty meeting. Behind
them was a giant window with
a fourteenth-story view to the
north of Overland Park, Kansas,
cut slightly at the base by I-435,
which teemed with traffic at midday as a main artery to greater
Johnson County.
Sorry guys. Ran a little long,
Bilieu said, barely acknowledging his tardiness. The three
answered with a chorus of forgiveness.
The man stepped forward.
Mr. Bilieu, this is Jan Lecht,
executive director for the Sharon
County Economic Development
Commission. Bilieu smiled and
extended his hand. Ms. Lecht,
Elliot Bilieu. Lecht, a thickly-built woman in her mid fifties,
stood nervously and shook the
CEOs hand. He smiled broadly.
I hope my vice presidents
offered you something to drink.
A cocktail, maybe?
Oh, no. No thank you. I have
some coffee. A cocktail at a little
after two, she thought?
Bilieu turned toward a
mammoth polished granite
wet bar, opened a refrigerator
and retrieved a bottled water.
Please, please. Everybody sit.
John, start us off, Bilieu said,
motioning to his VP.
Glad to, Mr. Bilieu. He
touched a button on a laptop
which sat on the conference
table, and a presentation screen
on the opposite wall sprang
to life. This is the site in the
Sharon County Industrial Park.
Its a little over five acres, water,
sewer, electricity everythings
already there. Good proximity to
the highway.
Lecht turned from the presentation to Bilieus position
behind the bar. Her eyes silently
widened. To her astonishment,
the man was now nude from the
waste up as much of his body as
she could make out above the bar
and was bending forward as if
he was stepping out of his pants
as well. The VPs turned, obviously noticing but paying their
bosss nudity little mind. We
estimate the cost of construction
at thirty eight million and some
change. We wont be asking for
any property tax concessions,
he turned toward Lecht, who was
still watching as Bilieus naked
buttocks rounded the corner of
the bar at a leisurely pace, headed back down a short hallway
to his executive washroom. His
trim, fit, forty-six year-old body
glistened in places with moisture. Her eyes were wide, even
as she turned back to the two
VPs, who didnt seem to miss a
2×4

beat. Soon the muffled sound of
water running in a shower could
be heard from the washroom.
But we will likely ask the city to
add a level to its present utility
purchase rates to give us a little
credit for the extra volume.
Lecht, still in shock, stared
wide-eyed at the faces of the two
VPs. They continued unabated.
The plant will have the latest
in plastics refinement technology, which means well be able
to operate with three shifts of 21
employees each with four more
on rotation.
Did you say three shifts?,
Bilieus voice came from the
sound system overhead, apparently via some intercom that
Lecht could only surmise was
wired into the shower. This guy
has an intercom in his shower, she repeated it several times
silently to herself. Unbelievable.
Lecht tried to gather herself.
She now couldnt remember the
first part of the presentation,
and was glad she had the little
three-ring binder in front of her.
Okay, okay. Andand what is it
exactly that you make, again?
Well, Im certainly no chemist, John the VP said, smiling
smoothly, so I cant explain all
the technicalities, but its called
bynlprophelene. Its a chemical component that goes into
the plastic on insulated wire to
make the outer part of the wire
act as a ground if you want it to.
It cuts expense, space, you name
it. Its on trial with NASA right
now. Once that studys complete
we have nearly an open market
until someone else figures out
how to do it.
I see. Lecht said nodding.
She really didnt.
John, that all sounds great, I
think, Bilieus voice came from
the shower again via the speakers
above them. Lecht looked back to
the bathroom, whose door stood
open wide. Damnedest meeting
Ive ever been to, she thought to
herself. What is it that we need
to do today to get moving on it?
John opened a small valise
next to him. Jan, this is a letter
of intent that roughly details our
plan and our interest in the property, if youd pass it along to the
proper officials, he handed her
a nine by twelve file folder with
CCT embossed in gold across its
front. Also with the letter is
a ten thousand dollar check in
earnest to the city for the lot in
the industrial park. When they
come up with a price, let us know
and well finish up the purchase,
then well send our design team
down to meet with your people
to brief them on the project.
Lecht sat nodding, her head still
swimming. Do you have any
questions at this point, Jan?
Questions? Jan thought to
herself. Other than why does
your boss run around naked at
business meetings?, not really.
It would be like questioning a
winning lottery ticket. A Carter
Chemtech plant in Sharon
County meant jobs and a construction phase and an expanded
property tax base the only kind
of tax relief that most rural area
property could hope for. And it
had just dropped in her lap after
eleven years and three executive
directors heading the volunteer
committee, Carter Chemtech
just e-mailed one day wondering
about available factory ground.
One e-mail, Jan thought. Thats
all it took to boost a town and
probably preserve her job.
Lecht shook her head. I honestly cant think of anything
youve obviously been through
this sort of thing before, she
laughed nervously. Just let me
say that on behalf of the business
community of Sharon County
Bilieus VPs were good. They
could listen to the musings of
gratitude from the local folks and
actually make the home towners
think they gave a damn.
They said their goodbyes and
the woman, Jan thought her name
was Anne, walked Jan down to
the lobby of the Corporate Woods
building. Annes hair was thick
and dark and pulled back into
a tight bun on the back of her
head. She was thin and the navy
blue business suit fit her well.
Light kept reflecting from what
Jan imagined were diamonds in
a cluster of rings on her left hand
that probably cost more than
Jans house. It was the single
biggest deal Jan had ever done,
and it was happening all by itself.
She wouldnt dare let it all go to
hell over making a point of some
guy stripping to the buff. Anne
could sense something off center
about the woman. They paused
a moment in the main lobby, the
sound around them dulled by

I hope Mr. Bilieu didnt, well,
alarm you with his eccentricity,
Anne said.
Oh, no. Not at all, she fumbled in her purse for a pack of
Virginia Slims. Ive seen naked
men before been a while, but
Ive seen em. They both giggled.
Elliot Bilieu is completely
unabashed in every level of his
thought, Anne said seriously.
Hes not restrained by any conventions, and while that makes
some of his actions seem a little eccentric, its also the kind
of thinking and energy that put
Carter Chemtech on the Fortune
100, she said, a little arrogantly.
Thomas Edison used to doodle
calligraphy in his work jour-
nals.
Hey, listen, Jan said, waving off the conversation with the
unlit cigarette, and dying to get
outside to light it. You guys
are putting thirty-eight million
bucks into Sharon County. He
could grand marshal the town
Christmas parade in the buff
and I dont think anybody would
care.
McKanes mind was still on
the bright red Harley outside as
his eyes adjusted slowly to the
darkness inside Chiggers. He
made his way around the tables,
still half blinded in the near
darkness, over to the bar where
he could make out the cash register and several lone bodies
parked on barstools. It was three
oclock in the afternoon before
Thursday mornings presstime,
and hed worked way past lunch
he avoided eye contact with them
and instead focused on a rerun of
the Andy Griffith show playing
on the television over the bar. He
glanced to Alice and then to her
customer, and it hit him that the
red, white and blue bandanna
was wrapped over the head of
a woman, and that she looked
familiar.
He couldnt help but look at
her, sporting the biker garb all
of it new looking and not faded
or frayed or sweat-stained like
one would expect in a seasoned
bikers attire she looked like
some kind of model from Harley
Vogue. A sleeveless black leather
vest covered a white T-shirt with
a Japanese rising sun on the
front. Her faded blue jeans were
visible from the back, covering
her long, lanky frame and hidden in front by black leather riding chaps, complete with fringe,
with straps that crossed the blue
denim in the back to hold them
on. Spotless new black leather
riding boots with a chrome buckle on each outside ankle were
tucked against the footrest of the
barstool. The bandanna pushed
tiny curls of red hair out over
her partially covered ears and
flattened down the back of her
neck, its tail tied into a flowing
windsock of red, white and blue
material. Sunglasses hung by
a nylon cord around her neck.
She sat closest to McKane at
the end of the bar, to her right
a heavy-set woman with thick,
black-rimmed glasses, and further down was a graying man
wearing old dress slacks, an
old brown shirt with the shirt
tail out and what appeared to
be some sort of house slippers.
None of them said a word it
was like they were all in a bar by
themselves.
again without realizing it until
the growling in his stomach
finally signaled that he probably needed to put something in
there. Chiggers was the closest
walk from the Sentinel office.
Alice was pouring a drink
for a guy on a barstool and
was talking to someone on the
cordless phone nestled between
her neck and shoulder, but she
acknowledged McKane and nodded toward the back bar where
his to-go order sat, its greasestained check jutting from under
the lid of the foam container.
McKane nodded back and stood
by the register, his elbows on
the counter, a twenty-dollar
bill folded lengthwise and held
between his fingers. He had
glanced across the three dark
faces at the bar moments ago and
none jumped to recognition, so

FROM PAGE 1
The Undersheriff has been
employed with the An Co.
Sheriff Office since 2012 and
those who know him know
what was said is not true and
that is why my focus regarding the article is on our hiring practices as we do screen
individuals to try and prevent putting an individual in
a Law Enforcement Uniform
that may engage in the use of
excessive force or who may
be racist. The protest on the
television speaks of different
ways to prevent bad officers
from being employed such as
but not limited to, checking
with agencies that a officer
may have worked for and the
problems they may have had
in the past, checking with
the commission on peace officers standards and training,
(CPOST) who issue the officer certifications and who can
take the officers certification
which would prevent them
from being in law enforcement. We report to CPOST all
new hires and report when an
officer is no longer employed
here and the reason for leaving. All other LEO in Kansas
do the same. When hiring a
previously certified officer we
request that CPOST send us
the officer records from not
only Kansas but any CPOST
through out the United States
that the officer has worked
for as there are agreements
through all the states in the
U.S. that allow this to happen.
No administration wants to
hire a cop who has already
been proven to bring problems to their past employers.
I do not believe this CPOST
check is mandatory across the
nation but it something my
office does as I want to do

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Notice is hereby given that the Anderson
County Planning Commission will hold a Public
Hearing on July 20, 2020 at 7:00 P.M. in
the Anderson County Annex, 409 South Oak,
Garnett, Kansas to consider:
Zone Change application #ZC20201 (Yocham) to rezone approximately 5.8
acres from A-1 Agriculture District to R-E

described as follows:
A TRACT OF LAND LOCATED IN THE

to report use of force at the
first of each and every month
to the FBI and the KBI. I have
to send this report regardless
if officers used any reportable force or not. So everyone knows. I am running for
Sheriff unopposed so this is no
campaign message as I have
always said what I think right
or wrong. This comes from
Vernon Valentine as your
Sheriff and an individual who
it matters to when it comes to
his officers treating everyone
the same regardless of their
religion, who they are, where
they come from, and what
color their skin is. In closing I
would like to thank everyone
for their cooperation during
the COVID-19 times where
the Governor shut businesses down and put out orders
regarding social distancing
as the people in Anderson
County were practicing staying safe before the government even put the orders out
there. THANK YOU.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, June 16, 2020
Patience and Precaution
Glenn Brunkow, Pottawatomie
County farmer and rancher
Wow, we blew right through
spring and are bearing down
on summer, and in the Farm
Bureau world that means annual meeting time is right around
the corner. Annual meetings
are vital in the life of our organization and something many
members look forward to. It is
a time to conduct the business
of our organization but also
a time to fellowship with our
neighbors and friends.
Just like our policy positions, the decision on each
countys annual meeting is left
up to the grassroots level and
your local board is deciding
what your meeting will look
like this year.
Some may decide the risk is
low in their county and continue with their traditional annual meeting, and that is fine.
However, many of our local
boards will decide a different
mode of annual meeting needs
to happen this year. It may be
a business only meeting, meant
to lessen the time we spend
together and therefore lower
the risk of passing a virus on.
I suppose some may take the
route of a virtual annual
meeting utilizing the technology available to us. That is the
lowest risk option and may be
the best in some areas.
No matter what type of
meeting your county decides
to have, you can rest assured
the board did it with the health
and wellbeing of their fellow
farmers and ranchers in mind.
It may not look like the annual
meeting we are used to, and
that may be a cause of disappointment. Hopefully it will be
a one-time measure. You can
rest assured that the decision
was made after a great deal
of thought and planning with
the best interest of everyone in
mind.
On a similar note, continue
to check in with us on news
about Kansas Farm Bureaus
Annual Meeting. That seems
like a long way down the road,
but I am sure that December
Cherry Mound May 4H meeting
will be here before we know
it. Just know your state staff
and board members are also
watching the situation closely
and developing alternate plans
with the hope theyre not needed. I promise you when a decision is made, it will be just like
the one at your county level
and have the best interest and
safety of all members in mind.
We have never done anything like this before because
we have never seen anything
like this before. Patience is a
virtue, and we want to make
sure that all members are safe
and healthy. Hang in there,
take the proper precautions
and we will all make it through
this healthy and happy and
ready for annual meetings in
2021. It will be worth it.
The monthly meeting of the
Cherry Mound 4-H club was
called to order by President
Jaden Teter on May 3rd, 2020 at
6:00pm at the Westphalia Park.
Chance Witherspoon and
Max Jimenez led the club in
the Pledge of Allegiance and
4-H Motto.
Roll Call was What are your
plans for the summer, this was
answered by 12 members and 2
leaders. Reports were given by
the treasurer Guy Young letting the club know that our bal-
approved through state administrators of the federal CARES
Act, which assigned federal
money to assist businesses and
individuals who were economically disadvantaged during
the government-enforced shutdown of businesses and most
public activities.
Garnett City Manager Chris
Weiner told city commissioners last week the non-repayable
grants aimed at preserving
jobs in small business would be
assigned into smaller and larger business size categories, and
were contingent on a majority
of employees meeting federal
low-to-moderate income guidelines.
The main objective of these
funds is for job retention; however, these funds can be used
for inventory, wages, utilities and everyday expenses,
said a statement from the city
announcing the receipt of the
grants.
To apply for a grant from the
funds, businesses inside or outside the city limits of Garnett
should complete an online survey and application located at
the citys website at www.simplygarnett.com.
The purpose of the survey
is to determine how many
businesses in Garnett and
Anderson County will qualify for these grant funds, the
citys statement read. After
receiving all the surveys, the
determination of how to allocate the funds will be made
by the City of Garnett and
Anderson County based on the
number of surveys returned.
Businesses in Garnett will
be considered for the citys
awarded grant funds, while
businesses outside the city limits were be considered for the
county funds. The grants do
not have to be repaid.
Anyone with questions
should contact economic
development director Julie
Turnipseed, at julie@garnettks.net or (785) 448-5496.

LOCAL
Bad behavior: Drivers know its wrong, but many do it anyway
After three months
of staying at home,
AAA warns motorists against falling
back into dangerous
driving habits. As
economies
reopen
and more drivers get
back on the road, new
research from the
AAA Foundation for
Traffic Safety shows
why motorists may
not be as focused on
good driving behavior
when they get behind
the wheel.
The latest AAA
Traffic Safety Culture
Index finds drivers
who have been in at
least one crash in the
past two years are significantly more likely to engage in risky
behaviors like speeding or texting, even
when they think the
police may catch them.
The frequency of
drivers in the United
States engaging in
improper behavior is
too high. While drivers
acknowledge that certain activities behind
the wheel, like texting,
are dangerous, some
do them anyway, said
Shawn Steward, AAA
Kansas spokesman.
We need to be aware
of the serious consequences of engaging in
these types of dangerous driving behaviors
and change course.
The Foundations
annual Traffic Safety
Culture Index (TSCI),
which highlights the
gap between drivers
attitudes and their
reported behaviors,
found that drivers
perceive
distracted, aggressive and
impaired driving as
dangerous. Yet many
of them admit to engaging in at least one of
these exact behaviors
in the 30 days before
the survey. The numbers were even higher
for those involved in a
recent crash:
50%
of
those
involved in a recent
crash admit to talking
on a hand-held device
while driving in the
past month vs. 42% not
involved in a crash
43%
of
those
involved in a recent
crash admit to texting
while driving in the
past month vs. 27% not
involved in a crash
39%
of
those
involved in a recent
crash admit to running a red light in the
past month vs. 30% not
involved in a crash
This data shows
that people are not
altering their behavior even when it has
resulted in a crash.
Of all dangerous
driving tasks, drivers dubbed these two
extremely or very dangerous:
Driving when so
tired, it was hard to
keep your eyes open
(96%)
Driving while typing or sending a text
message or an email
(96%)
Yet these same drivers text when behind
the wheel, even believing there is a risk of get-
ting caught by police
for reading (43.7%) or
typing (42.7%) a text
message.
Drivers engage in
some dangerous
behaviors less often
Its not all bad
news. Compared with
2018 findings, drivers reported they are
engaging in some dangerous behaviors less
frequently. Drivers
who reported talking
on a hand-held cell
phone saw the most
significant decrease,
down from 52.1% to
43.2%, while drowsy
driving and texting
both fell by 3 percentage points.
If you point to the
dangerous
driving
behaviors of others
that you sometimes
do yourself, then you
are the problem, said
Jake Nelson, AAAs
director of traffic
safety advocacy and
research. Im encouraged to see a slight
shift toward safer driving behaviors, but we
have more work to do.
Stay focused on driving. This is a must.
AAA recommends
these safety tips to
keep in mind.
Dont
drive
Intexicated. Stow
your
smartphone
away, turn it to airplane mode, or activate call/text blocking
features like Apples
Do Not Disturb. In
2019, AAA launched
a new, multi-year initiative Dont Drive
Intoxicated,
Dont
Drive Intexticated,
aimed at making texting and driving as
socially unacceptable
as drinking and driving. The public is invited to take the Dont
Drive
Intexticated
pledge. Visit www.
aaa.com/dontdrivedistracted to join this lifesaving effort.
Slow down. Drivers
tend to overestimate
time saved by speeding. Youd have to
travel 100 miles to
save roughly 5 minutes, moving at 75
mph instead of 70 mph.
Speed kills and isnt
worth the cost.
Stay alert. Stop
driving if you become
sleepy because you
could fall asleep at
any time. Fatigue
impacts reaction time,
judgment, and vision,
causing people who are
very tired to behave in
similar ways to those
who are drunk.
Only drive sober.
If you consume marijuana, alcohol, or use
potentially impairing
prescription medications, then dont drive.
And if youre going to
drive, then dont consume these substances. If you are taking
prescription medications, visit Roadwise
Rx to learn if they can
impair driving.
Always wear your
seat belt.
The annual TSCI
identifies attitudes
and behaviors related
to traffic safety. The
survey data are from a
clusters tracked by KDHE have
very low mortality rates. With
just 12 deaths among more than
2,800 cases, the mortality rate is
just 0.4%.
KDHE has identified 153
clusters that account for 51% of
all the cases and 71% of all the
deaths in Kansas. Long-term
care facilities have the highest
mortality rate at 16.7%, representing 126 of the states 236
deaths.

Foundations mission
is to prevent traffic
deaths and injuries

causes and by educating the public about
strategies to prevent
crashes and reduce
injuries when they do
occur. This research

materials for drivers,
pedestrians, bicyclists
