THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Anderson County
Republicans will determine
the countys new district court
prosecutor in the upcoming
August 4 primary election,
picking from four candidates
in what may be the largest
turnout of contenders for that
post in its history.
Among the unannounced
filings for the post so far was
Neosho County Attorney Linus
Thuston of Chanute and Vassar
attorney Tonya Vignery. They
join former assistant Sumner
County Attorney Elizabeth
Oliver and
Ottawa attorney Joseph
Falls on the
Republican
side of the
ticket.

race.
Thuston
Thuston
apparently
made no announcement statement, but Vignery told the
Review the opportunity to seek
a position as a prosecutor fit
with her goals.
Working as a prosecutor
has always been my goal and
doing that in a community
where I can have an impact
and truly make a difference is
my passion.

Governors reopening order now
stepped back to a recommendation
County continues
plan to implement no
stricter restrictions
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT They were rules of
law now theyre recommendations.
Governor Laura Kellys
veto of a many-faceted Covid
Recovery bill last week
approved by Kansas legislators has allowed her previous
executive order mandating a
statewide phased recovery
plan to expire, and that authority handed back to individual
Kansas counties.
In Anderson County, the
countys recovery task force
has opted to adopt the same
tract as that now promoted by
the state to follow the previous
recovery mandate as recommendations without a specific
enforceable
law. County
emergency

director J.D.
Mersman
said
that

health
Kelly officer can
issue various
orders, the task force took into
consideration the lack of any
live cases of Covid in the county. If the county experienced
an outbreak later, Mersman
said that policy direction could
change.
There is no law, resolution, or statute at the state
or county level to enforce at
this moment, Mersman said.
Nearly every county I know
of has taken the same route we
are and recommending the
public follow what is essentially guidelines that started out
as the reopening plan by the
Governor.
Kelly injected a new Phase
1.5 into her overall plan at the
conclusion of its initial segment, lowering initial increases in allowable crowd size limits for gatherings but allowing
some additional categories of
businesses to open. The governor then revised the plan again,
increasing those crowd limits
slightly and making other modifications on May 21, a move
that irritated some legislators
who said they heard increasing
complaints about the slow pace

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA Unemployment
in Anderson County jumped
nearly four percent in April as
Covid-19 impacted jobs locally and statewide, magnifying
the major economic challenge
of recovering from the government-ordered state shutdown.
Anderson Countys jobless rate was at 2.8 percent in
March one of the lowest rates
ever recorded for the county
but that figured leaped to 6.5
percent by the end of April.
The numbers meant 266 of the
countys 4,087 workers sought
jobless benefits that month.
Kansas as a whole saw even
more dramatic increases. The
state was at 2.8 percent in
March but jumped to 11.2 percent in April, the highest single
month rate in recent memory. The figures translated to
168,213 unemployment claims
for the month statewide.
April estimates reflect the
impact of efforts to contain the
coronavirus pandemic, said
labor Kansas Labor Economist
Emilie Doerksen. Job estimates fell by 130,400 over the
month with reductions in the
number of jobs for all major
sectors. The leisure and hospitality sector saw a particularly
sharp decline, accounting for
50,200 out of the total decrease

of the recovery plan.
Kellys shutdown of businesses and activities in the
state, like others nationwide,
resulted in a precipitous drop
in the Kansas economy with
heavy declines in tax revenue
and employment. State tax
revenue figures for April were
less than half the $1.18 billion
Kansas took in during April
2019. March unemployment
was 2.8 percent and jumped to
11.2 percent by the end of April.
So far, no analyst has estimated the amount of lost business revenues since the shutdown. Kansas May distributions of sales tax to counties

those funds would have been
primarily collected in March
before the full impact of the
shutdown was in effect.

Kellys authority in the spending of more than a billion dollars in federal stimulus funds
for Covid Recovery, provided
protections against coronavirus lawsuits for businesses
and health care providers, and
would have remanded authority for the recovery plan to officials at the county level for
their own jurisdictions. By
vetoing the bill the initial emergency order wasnt extended,
and effectively expired May 26.
Kelly castigated legislators for
the tone of the package of legislation, saying it would have
long-standing consequences
for the people of Kansas.
Kelly issued a new emergency order dealing with the postCovid economic recovery, and
has called a special session of
the Legislature to address that

Pastor Chase Riebel gave the
Communion Meditation over
Romans 10:8-13, which tells us
that we need to openly declare
that Jesus is Lord, and that we
believe God raised him from
the dead. Everyone who calls
on the Lord will be saved, but
we need to openly declare our
belief. If we don't declare who
we are and what we believe in,
someone else will tell others
"who" we are.
Pastor Chase gave the
sermon on the Power of the
Ascension and how Jesus
fought for our right to be free.
Imagine if every Christian
realized the power within them
thru the Holy Spirit. A power
so fierce that even the devil
trembles in fear. When Jesus
ascended into Heaven, he commissioned his followers to continue his good works, and to
reconcile humanity with the
Kingdom of God. God elevated

Garnett, Kansas.
In the gospel of John we
hear Jesus say, My sheep listen to my voice; I know them
and they follow me. Here
Jesus is talking to the Jews
who are questioning him about
whether he is the promised
Messiah. He uses the analogy
of the shepherd and the sheep
to make his point. In biblical
times the shepherds would
pen all their sheep together at
night because it was easier to
protect them from predators.
In the morning they would
open the gate and speak to the
sheep. Each shepherds sheep
would follow him as he took
them to pasture. Each flock of
sheep knew their shepherds
voice and followed without fail.
Jesus is saying here the
same is so with his people, he
says; My sheep listen to my
voice. When Jesus walked
and preached in biblical times
it was easy to hear his voice.
Jesus does not speak audibly
today yet his word can speak
to each of us. The key to hearing Jesus is to listen. If we
could go back to the shepherd
and the sheep, the flocks separated themselves based on the
shepherds voice. Not just any
shepherd but the shepherd that
took care of them. Jesus says
the sheep of his flock listen
to his voice. Today there are
many voices trying to direct
each of us. It is up to us to
discern the direction we will
take. Jesus said that his sheep
follow him. Each of us is free
to choose who or what we will
follow. As I said Jesus does not
speak audibly today but each of
us has felt his presence in our

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, June 2, 2020
OPINION
Our leaders are siding with the
enemy in the war against society
Heres a simple question: A police station in
a major American city was occupied, looted and
burned on Thursday night. Most of us assumed
wed never live to see something like that happen here. But it did happen.
So the question is, has anyone been arrested
for doing it? Will anyone ever be arrested?
No one in authority seems especially interested in apprehending the people who did it. All
of it happened on camera, but the perpetrators
just walked away. And its, maybe likely, that
most of them will never be punished for it.
Thats striking.
Its a very different experience from the ones
most Americans have living here.
As Minneapolis burns and crowds grow in
the streets of Atlanta and many other cities, the
rest of us are continuing on as we always do -dutifully following the rules. There are many of
those.
Every year, there seem to be countless new
rules to follow. They multiply like insects.
We do our best to keep up. We get our permits, apply for our licenses, put on our reading
glasses to check the latest regulations on the
internet.
We wear our little masks.
We keep our dogs on leashes.
We drive sober.
We dont eat on the subway. We never litter.
We make orderly lines and patiently wait our
turn.
In airports and government buildings, we
remove our shoes and submit to body searches
from strangers. We lose our dignity every time
we do this, but they tell us we must, so we accept
it without complaint.
In public, we hide what we really think.
We bury our natural instincts. We keep our
deepest beliefs to ourselves.
We know the boundaries. We understand we
will be punished for telling the truth.
This is the America the rest of us live in.
For the privilege of citizenship in a country
like this, we work as hard as we can.
We never stop sharing what we earn with
others.
We send money wed rather give to our own
children to politicians in faraway cities. With
that money, they make new rules. We follow
those rules to the letter. Thats what we were
told to do as children. Thats the deal weve
struck.
GUEST EDITORIAL
TUCKER CARLSON, FOX NEWS ANALYST
At least we thought it was.
Now we know that other people have somehow
negotiated a far better deal than the one we
have.
They get to ignore the rules. There dont
believe in order or fairness. They reject society
itself.
Reason and process and precedent mean
nothing to them. They use violence to get what
they want immediately.
People like this dont bother to work. They
dont volunteer or pay taxes to help other people. They live for themselves. They do exactly
what they feel like doing. They say exactly what
they feel like saying.
They spray paint their opinions on buildings.
On television, hour by hour, we watch these
people criminal mobs destroy what the rest
of us have built.
They have no right to do that. They dont contribute to the common good. They never have.
Yet suddenly, they seem to have all the power.
This is hardly the first time this has happened in America. Spasms of destructive violence are a recurring feature of our history of
every countrys history.
The ideologues will tell you that the problem
is race relations, or capitalism, or police brutality, or global warming. But only on the surface.
The real cause is deeper than that and its far
darker.
What youre watching is the ancient battle
between those who have a stake in society, and
would like to preserve it, and those who dont,
and seek to destroy it.

I have a bet for all Democrats. President Trump
could end the virus in the United States in one
day. All he would have to do is to say he is
extending the election until 2024. I bet the pandemic would be over immediately.
Yes, I have a message for the fair board. With
everything else you have to deal with and I
know you have to deal with a lot, theres one
more thing youre going to have to deal with
if you get rid of the carnival at the fair like I
hear is going to happen and that is the death
of your fair. Do you remember how bad it was
the couple of years that there was no carnival?
I do. You could have shot a cannon down that
fairgrounds and not hit nobody. I for one think
them kids and especially their parents work too
hard with those animals to just have them seen
by the other kids who have animals at the fair,
which is what will happen if you dont have a
carnvial at the fair. Whatever you do you have
to find a way to keep that carnival or you might
Is the Devil making you hoard meat and freezers
A recent poll shows as many as half the
members of some churches believe the corona-virus pandemic is a message from God to
humanity to change our ways. The other half
mostly were not sure, but a few were shaken
in their beliefs by the whole thing.
But if this is true, then maybe the Devil is
leading another group of us, the ones who are
going around buying up all the meat and all
the current supply of freezers so they can
hoard meat against the shortage.
Its said if you
want to buy meat
from some stores,
especially Walmart,
youd better be
there by 10 a.m.
Other places seem
to have a decent
supply. Maybe they
are restricting the
sudden urge to buy
a lot, as some did
with toilet paper or
paper towels a couple months ago.
First the virus
shuts down a few
packing plants not
most then theres a run on freezers. Its said
to be virtually impossible to find one this
week.
Well, we guess they have to have someplace
to put all that meat until it spoils.
Fresh meat
has a definite
half life in
the freezer
six months
at the most,
they (the
experts) say.
GUEST COMMENTARY
STEVE HAYNES, Haynes Publishing Co.
This makes even less sense than hoarding
toilet paper. Unless your basement floods,
toilet paper should be good until you need
it. Fresh meat has a definite half life in the
freezer six months at the most, they (the
experts) say.
Maybe you can eat old frozen meat, despite
the threat of freezer burn, but after the fat goes
rancid, its just not much good.
A lot of stores have nothing in the way of
hamburger except prepacked 10-pound tubes.
You can be sure they were not filled at the
store, as store-wrapped burger often is, even
when they have been cut up into tidy round
patties.
Our sister-in-law says those tubes might be
filled with floor sweepings and other scraps
from the packing plant. This type of packaging
usually is healthful, but it has been associated
with some the the worst contamination incidents.
And the locally ground stuff, made from
butchers scraps and even whole cuts of
less-desirable parts of the steer, often has a
better flavor. Thats what discerning shoppers
like to buy. If they dont buy local beef from a
locker plant.
Need a freezer?
Storing food frozen can make sense for a
large family. Many people, however, find that
multiple freezers are where food goes to die.
The way freezers are built, you cant really see
all thats in even a small one. This can generate waste, like when someone finds a two-yearold roast at the bottom of a bin.
It would take a sophisticated inventory system to manage two or three freezers properly.
And the system would be only as good as the
input, the old GIGO theory. (Garbage in, garbage out, of the computer, we mean. The meat
might be fine.)
So even if you can find one, at this point,
could you fill it? And how could you keep
track of your meat?
God surely isnt the one telling people
to hoard meat, or anything else. We advise
against tumbling to this temptation.

Good news about Covid-19 ignored by media
Its not March anymore.
The coronavirus has taken a heartbreaking
toll on Americans, but the course of the virus
is not the same as it was a few months ago. We
are on the other side of the curve. There are
encouraging signs all over the country, and no
early indications of a reopening debacle.
The question now is whether the media and
political system can absorb good news on the
virus, which is often ignored or buried under
misleading storylines.
The press has a natural affinity for
catastrophes, which make compelling viewing and good copy. The pandemic is indeed a
once-in-a-generation story. So, the media is
naturally loath to shift gears and acknowledge
that the coronavirus has begun to loosen its
grip.
Meanwhile, progressives and many journalists have developed a near-theological commitment to the lockdowns, such that any information that undermines them is considered
unwelcome, even threatening. This accounts
for the widespread sense that no one should
say things have gotten better … or people are
going to die.
Usually, when it is thought the public cant
handle the truth, it is a truth about some
threat that could spark panic. In this case, the
truth is information that might make people
think its safe to go outside again.
Almost all of the discussion about reopening is framed by worries that we will reopen
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
too soon, not that we might reopen too late.
That is literally unthinkable, even as we have
entered a new phase.
As data analyst Nate Silver pointed out last
week, the seven-day rolling average for deaths
is 1,362, down from 1,761 the week prior and a
peak of 2,070 on April 21. Thats still much too
high, but the trend is favorable.
Testing capacity, such a concern for so
long, has really begun to expand after hitting a
plateau for weeks. Testing nationally on some
days has been in the high 300,000s or over
400,000. The issue in some states now is not
capacity, but actually finding enough people
to test.
Scott Gottlieb of the American Enterprise
Institute notes that the positivity rate, or percentage of people testing positive, has continued to fall throughout May.
The press has often, out of sloppiness or
willfulness, tried to create negative news
around the reopenings. CNN recently tweeted,
Texas is seeing the highest number of new
coronavirus cases and deaths just two weeks
after it officially re-opened. As Sean Trende
of RealClearPolitics pointed out, the seven-day
rolling average of new cases had indeed been
trending up, but the seven-day rolling average
of the number of tests had gone up, too — which
would naturally turn up more cases. The key
indicator is the positivity rate, and it was
down in Texas.
Headlines noted that Florida recorded 500
new cases in one day. It generated fewer
headlines, and perhaps none, when Gov. Ron
DeSantis explained that the state had received
a dump of 75,000 test results, yielding the 500
new cases, for a minuscule positivity rate of
0.64%.
Its not as though we havent had a cataract
of unassailably legitimate bad news over the
past few months. Weve been experiencing
a wrenching public health crisis and a steep
recession on top of it. There shouldnt be a
need to obscure favorable trends. We can handle the truth.
Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.
as well just let the tradition of the fair go. Thank
you.
Well, what should you be called? The defender
of everyones rights and freedoms? You are
definitely not that. This person is entitled to
their opinion. Kelly is a liberal Democrat who
wants complete control so she can tell all of us
what to do and when to do it. This is Kansas and
America and we are for the most part responsible for ourselves not one person in government telling us what to do and closing down
businesses. By the way, a governors executive
orders are not law, only our Kansas legislators
are the lawmakers. Would not be for rights and
freedoms being taken away even if this was a
Republican doing this. In the months to come
there will probably be studies that this is all
unnecessary. People get sick and die from all
sorts of things in this country. Is this country
shut down then? No. Scare tactics have made
lots of people lose their common sense, but not
everyone.
Mr. Hicks, somethings been sticking in my
craw for several years. It seems like you publish wedding announcements for free and anniversary announcements for free, but when it
comes to obituaries you charge them money.
Seems like youre just adding insult to injury.
Everybodys grieving and youre just raking
in the money. Not only not fair, it just doesnt
seem right.
Okay we finally have our perfect test case. All
those people that went down to Lake of the
Ozarks and partied and carried on all in close
together, theyre all being shamed and naughty-naughtied by all the people in Missouri and
Kansas City and the mayor of Kansas City and
everybody else because they say theyre going
to end up giving everybody Covid. So in two
weeks a whole bunch of those people better
come down with Covid and be dying of Covid,
shouldnt they? If they dont then I think we
know this whole thing is overblown and a great
big load of BS. Thank you.

A new site unearths many artifacts East Central District FFA
members receive state FFA degree
DIGGING UP THE PAST
A total of 48 students from
the East Central District FFA
were awarded their State FFA
Degree during the virtual 92nd
Kansas FFA Convention, May
2729, 2020.
The State Degree is the
highest honor the Kansas
FFA Association can bestow
upon its members. In order
to achieve this award, members must meet the following
requirements: have received
their Chapter FFA Degree, been
an FFA member and agricultural education student for at
least two years, earned at least
$2,000 or worked 600 hours in
their Supervised Agricultural
Experience program, given a
six-minute speech about agri-

Call (785) 504-4722 for
local archeology information.
On the 18th of May I began
working at a new archaeology
site here in Anderson County.
Due to the weather Ive only
been out to this site a couple of
times so far. Im really excited
at the number of artifacts Ive
found in such a small area.
Im actually working a 30
wide strip down the side of an
old sidewalk that is still visible.
Pictured here are some of my
better finds, excluding a number
of iron items, nails both square
and common, broken glass window and bottle, also a few dishware and crockery shards.
Starting at the top: A very
old hand made scraper, the mid
body of an Native American
arrow head or perhaps a scraper, a rather long copper feather, brass 4-hole button, 4-hole
porcelain button, brass buckle
which has the word SHIRLEY
on one piece and PRESIDENT
on the other, brass button with
a wreath on the face of it, brass
button with the word TEST on
its face, part of a snap button, a
jack and a valve stem cap.
One cannot visualize how
many things are lost around a
homesite over the years. Each
and everyone I find is a treasure
to me, because Ive uncovered
another little bit of Anderson
County history. Its also my
honor to turn over these artifacts to the landowners.

Central Heights Class of 2020 finally gets much deserved graduation
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 6-2-2020 / KEVIN GAINES
The weather was perfect on Saturday afternoon
and it was a fitting end to a difficult year for
the graduating class of Central Heights. With
in-school classes canceled and a spring sports
season loss, the class of 2020 endured what
no other class has had to. The faculty and students were grateful that they were able to honor
the students for their hard work and dedication
through the difficult times.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, June 2, 2020
LOCAL
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 5 Cont
*picking up from where left on from
May 19th edition
The idea was to keep a decent
lawyer from making a monkey
out of the county attorney at the
preliminary hearing, then hitting the county with a civil suit
for defamation. McKane had no
intention of waiting for a threeline faxed statement, which, as
worthless as it was, probably
wouldnt even arrive until a few
hours after the papers deadline.
He used the resulting pause to
step toward the jacket and tie to
Bookmans right the younger of
the two strangers.
Hi, Mike McKane, Sharon
County Sentinel. Are you KBI
guys taking over jurisdiction
on this, or will it stay local?,
he asked quickly, pointing back
over his shoulder to Bookman.
The young Kansas Bureau of
Investigation agent was caught
off guard and instinctively reached forward to shake
hands, but his older counterpart, who sat perched on the side
of Bookmans desk, reached to
the side and closed an open file
folder and a nearby notebook.
McKane saw the move out of the
corner of his eye.
David Garman, the younger officer announced. Bookman
was a little bewildered. McKane
broke the handshake and
stepped in front of Bookman
to extend his hand to the other
man, who shot a quick glance at
Bookman but extended his hand
as well, Larry Fromme, he
half-growled from under a graying mustache. McKane kept his
mouth running even as his hand
worked Frommes.
Photos I shot show the girl
pretty clear, McKane said.
Course we wont run anything
thats gonna horrify anyone
what was she, probably fifteen,
maybe sixteen years old?
Mac, we really havent got
anything we can tell you yet,
Bookman continued, turning
himself toward McKane, who
focused his attention and questions on the older agent, whom
he assumed was probably the
guy in charge, since he looked
older than his partner and the
other guy who was probably now
on his way back to the office
from the fax machine up front.
Now the rose petal thing
that sounds like a serial trait.
And stripped of her clothes
sexual assault? definitely lust
killer traits, wouldnt you say?
Now, wait just a the older
agent tried to break in.
Cmon, guys give me something. I got people running all
over the county saying we got a
Charlie Manson on our hands
naked dead girl with her mouth
stuffed full of rose petals if we
dont give the folks some info
youre asking for a panic when
they start making it up for themselves. Bookman looked confused, unsure. Fromme rose to
his feet.
Mr. McKane, Fromme
began in a well-practiced delivery that revealed a solid western Kansas fry pan accent,
the KBI is here at the invitation of the local authorities to
assist in the investigation. At
this point its safe to say the
incidents being investigated as
a homicide. Beyond that, I would
urge you to be responsible in
your reporting and not to include
any unconfirmed, and I repeat
unconfirmed, information that
could compromise the investigation or cause the folks of Sharon
County any undue anxiety. That
kind of reporting doesnt do us
any good and it doesnt
do your paper any good
either.
McKane was out of
options. All he could do
was take the dressing
down like some rookie,
and let the man talk and
listen for any other nuggets his spiel might contain.
We know your rights
under the law and we
understand the publics
interest and right to
know, and I can assure
you well cooperate in
every way possible with
the facts we uncover as
soon as we know them
to be facts. Until then we
have to ask your patience
and your cooperation to
not sensationalize this
situation. Please, help us
out here and well help you out
as soon as we can.
McKane nodded his head in
retreat. Okay, okay. I understand. I guess I assumed things
would be a little further along
than I guess they are, he
reached into his shirt pocket
and pulled out a couple of business cards. Give me a call when
youve got something. My office
fax is on here too. He turned
back to Bookman. Any word on
how Arts getting along?
All the conversations in the
old jail building bounced around
off the tile floor and the old wood
paneling. A carpeted floor probably would have quieted down the
room a great deal. Lacking that,
words spoken in Swearingens
office transmitted plainly
through a tiny wireless microphone disguised behind the fluffy
plumage of a spinner lure hooked
into the mouth of the stuffed seven-pound largemouth bass that
Art caught west of town back in
78. Proudly stuffed and mounted by the sheriff, the bass hung
on the wall for years, but had
only recently become the host to
the tiny microphone designed to
hear Bookmans conversations
in the office without his knowledge.
In the squad room, Bo Walker
sat at his desk facing his computer screen wearing a pair of
headphones connected to a digital player/recorder radio, its FM
tuner positioned to a particular
frequency that matched the signal emitted by the little microphone in Swearingens office.
The tiny transmitter was good
for up to several hundred feet,
and Walkers reception from this
distance, as he pretended to be
writing a report on the computer, was nearly crystal clear.
It wasnt that McKane had
expected much more than he got,
hed just hoped to catch a break
early on. He walked back across
town toward the Sentinel and
rolled over in his mind what hed
learned.
First, KBI was here. And not
just the obligatory single agent to
look over the case files and keep
an eye on things. There were
three agents on this deal one
of them, judging by the way this
Fromme fellow handled reporters, was fairly senior. No denial
of anything McKane had pitched
rose petals in the mouth, possible sexual assault, possible serial
nature of the evidence. If hed
been way off in left field, hed
have gotten at least a wave off
from somebody. Without it, he
had to figure either his fishing
expedition was pretty close, or
they really didnt know anything
yet.
McKane hustled across the
street in front of the drugstore
as a mud-covered pickup truck
sporting a big steel stinger
used for spearing and hauling
big round hay bales, slowed
in the street to let him pass.
McKane gave a perfunctory nod
of thanks, and a stiffed-faced old
man in a faded ball cap raised
one finger off the steering wheel
in acknowledgement.
Bookman said they were still
waiting on the medical examiners report. Then what was the
information on his desk that
agent Fromme had gone out of
his way to close so quickly when
he realized McKane was a reporter? There was something in writing there. Albeit unfinished, this
investigation was farther along
than those guys wanted known.
He nodded to himself and looked
around at the passing traffic.
Across the street, a bright red
Harley Davidson sat in front of
Chez Chic, the dress shop Sandy
had mentioned that the bombshell red head was reopening.
Lemme guess, he thought to
himself, she rides a Harley, or
her boyfriend does. Nice bike,
McKane thought to himself. Nice
ass, too. He shrugged a little at
the thought. Now, why does a
cosmo-looking gal with a bunch
of money like that come back to
Henrysville, Kansas? Why not
just move your mother closer to
whereever you are? Weird. But
Sandy was always saying how so
many people who grew up here
and left just couldnt seem to stay
way. McKanes heart sunk into
the thought. He knew exactly
why. They wanted to live somewhere with some soul, somewhere out of the city where people could look at you on the street
and not have to worry that youd
follow them home that night and
kill everybody in their house.
They wanted to be close to the
family and the familiarity theyd
always known. They wanted to
raise their kids in a place where
the school wasnt a battle zone.
They were the same things he
and Susan had wanted, or at least
used to want.
Stephs locker door banged
shut as she tossed her backpack across one shoulder and
headed down the noisy hallway,
now awash with the sound of
high school students changing
afternoon classes. Henrysvilles
school district had failed the last
two years in a row to pass a bond
issue to replace its circa 1926
two-story high school building,
but the old wooden hallway floor
glistened with reflection from
the care of custodians who themselves had gone to school here.
Stephs foot squeaked against a
shiny spot in the floor close to
the locker as she turned down
the hall.
The mixing torrent of kids ran
the gamut of high school society.
Jocks, geeks, rednecks, heads
they moved in two or three
member clusters of like kinds. As
in any high school in America,
the Jocks ruled at Henrysville.
Regardless of the amount of
time at school board and ParentTeacher Organization meetings
devoted to debate and discussion
about the importance of academics and the politically correct
methods to make all students
up and down the social strata
feel important, the law of natural selection was still in effect.
Jocks were the modern warriors
of their Rome, and everyone else
occupied places beneath them.
Sometimes, depending upon how
low down the social food chain
they might be, a student walked
alone. But those at or near the
top never walked the halls alone.
Steph made her way unaccompanied through the river of teen
life, going out of her way enroute
to English Literature class to
pass by Sashas locker. Still no
sign of her. Steph hadnt seen
or heard from her friend since
the Two-Four Spot. It wasnt like
Sasha not to call or come over or
track her down in those precious
few social minutes before school
started in the morning. It wasnt
like her at all.
Forty-five minutes later
Steph carried a hall pass down
the now deserted passageway on
an errand to get a cartridge for
Mr. Neasons computer printer,
a trip that took her once again
past Sashas locker. Steph turned
the corner and immediately recognized the form of her friend
standing by her open locker
door.
Hey, whats up? Steph
bumped her shoulder into
Sashas. Her friend looked up,
her eyes red and watery, her
lack of make-up showing pale
flabby skin marked here and
there by zits. Steph had rarely seen her pal in such shape,
and never where other people
might be around. She wore a
pair of new-looking blue sweats
with a KU Jayhawk logo, her
hair pulled back into a clumsy
ponytail, and she rummaged in
the bottom of her locker without
really looking up.
Hey, came the limp reply.
Hey, did you see my cell phone
anywhere Saturday night?
Nope didnt you have it in
your purse?, Steph answered,
still examining at her friends
washed-out look.
If Ive lost it, Im screwed.
Whats the deal?
What deal? The words came
out impatient as Sasha continued the search.
Well, Stephs voice was
sarcastic, you havent been in
school all morning, and I havent
seen or heard from you since
Saturday.
Well, then maybe you
shouldnt have bugged out on
us.
Of course I bugged out, those
guys were losers.
Theyre not losers. Theyre
fun.
Fun? How much of that did
they get you to smoke?, Steph
said, her hands flying up to her
hips in battle mode.
What do you care? You really
embarrassed the heck out of me,
you know.
Embarrassed you? Sasha, we
had no business with those guys.
We had no business doing that
and going back to that trailer
with them, guilt and emotion
began to press tears into her
eyes.
You didnt seem to mind at
the time.
We were drunk. And that
stuff they gave us. We were
totally whacked out, Steph
restrained her voice, looking
around to see if anyone as within earshot. She stepped closer
to Sasha to better control the
volume. I never want to do that
again ever!
When did you get so high and
mighty?, Sasha said, slamming
the locker door. It was Saturday
night and we wanted to have
some fun. So we had some fun. So
what?
That stuff lit me up. I didnt
get to sleep until the next afternoon. It was scary.
I know, Sashas eyes lit up.
Isnt it cool? Steph stared at
her, her mouth and eyes wide in
disbelief.
Listen this is so cool, Sasha

was going to say next. Shed been
waiting for it.
Steph, are you jealous of
me?, the words felt good coming
out. Indignant. Superior. Sasha
had never been able to say that
to anybody else before, much less
mean it.
What?
You know, I mean Im doing
the kind of stuff that you and I
always talked about doing. But
youve never had the guts to do
it. Until Saturday I didnt think
I did either. But Im putting all
this crap behind me, she said,
waving her hand across the hallway, and Im gonna live my life
while I can. And I think youre
jealous of it.
Youre crazy, Steph hissed,
stepping toward her friend with
her arms at her sides. Her face
had turned pale with anger and
her breath rose and fell in short,
hard, audible huffs. The bell in
the hallway suddenly screamed
out the end of sixth period.
Classroom doors flung open and
students poured back into the
naturally forming riverway up
and down the hall. Steph and
Sasha stared at each other, mostly unnoticed by the flood of kids,
their conversation drowned by
the growing volume of noise.
Ive got to go. Ive got plans.
Sasha said. Why dont you blow
this off and come with us?
Steph stood staring at her,
shaking her head with disgust
and hatred. She hated those two
bozos. She hated Stephs attitude,
and she hated the meth that they
used as bait to screw Sashas
head up. Jealousy? Now, that
was another matter. She glared
at her friend.
Whatever. Sasha said, turning and disappearing into the
mass of bodies.
The three men wore broad
drooping moustaches, but their
faces were a little faded in the old
black and white photo. Bookman
leaned in closer to the wall covered with a mixture of color and
black and white family photographs to get a better look, taking
care not to nudge any of the others from their place. Each man
in the picture wore a vested suit
and held a shotgun or rifle on
his knee, a bit out of character
for the way each of their heads
of hair glistened with grease, all
exhibiting a neat part down the
middle which was obviously the
result of a great deal of pre-picture primping. A shiny metal
badge glowed from each of their
chests.
Thats my granddad with
Earp. I forget who the other
fella is. Bookman turned to see
sheriff Art Swearingen tottering
into the room with Maggie close
behind him, pushing a small
wheeled cart with an oxygen bottle and a clear plastic hose that
ran to a cross piece at Arts nose.
He wore a pair of Kansas State
Wildcat sweats in deep purple
which looked brand new, and a
pair of weathered-looking cowboy boots. Arts straight gray
hair was longer than Bookman
remembered it being, and it hung
in his deeply creased face a little
as he eased his six-foot threeinch frame down into a chair
in the front parlor. Maggie positioned the bottle and straightened the hose.
No kidding? Thats your
grandpa with Wyatt Earp?
Yep, Art said, coughing a
little, that was shot in 1900 at the
Dexter Saloon in Nome, Alaska,
Art said. Earp owned that place,
and papa was a district marshal
up there at the time. Hell, back
then lawmen knew how to make
a decent dollar open a saloon!
Bookman laughed and nodded.
You gonna go running, or
ropin, Bookman said smiling,
pointing to the boots. Maggie

was suddenly cheered by the
potency of her coming war story,
we ended up in Oklahoma.
Oklahoma? Steph managed
in a dumbfounded hush.
After you left, Jeff said something about being stood up, and
he knew this girl in Oklahoma.
So we went. Some little town.
Chelsea, I think it was. We just
went. We just smoked and drank
beer and listened to music and
drove.
You left for Oklahoma at
three in the morning with those
two guys? Steph was still having trouble grasping Oklahoma.
Yeah, Sasha laughed, her
eyes wide in amazement as she
brandished the accomplishment.
It was wild. Marc ended up driving, and pretty soon Jeff your
Jeff, remember? Sashas eyes
cut to her friend I guess Jeff
decided he, well, he wanted to
get to know me a little better,
so he got in the back seat with
me. Sashas eyes trailed back
to her locker door, for an embarrassed moment ashamed at her
need to rub her friends nose
in what she thought smacked
of infidelity, then rose to meet
Stephs still shocked face. So
we you know. Steph shook
her head slowly, without really
even knowing she was moving
her body at all.
What about your mom and
dad?
Oh, they went nuts, of course.
I just told them I wasnt some
baby any more and it was time I
had my own life. They grounded
me, of course, she laughed. Im
grounded right now so I blew
off school today. Cant go out.
Cant go to school. She grinned.
Whats the matter with you,
Steph stepped back, tears clouding into her eyes. Just what is
the matter with you?
What are you freaking out
about? You left us. You didnt
want to be around us. You didnt
care anything about Jeff. You
just got him off and then left
him.
Steph grimaced at the sound
of the words. God, theyd talked
about it. Maybe even while he
was doing her in the back seat of
that car on the way to Oklahoma.
Sasha! Think about it!,
Steph exclaimed, her voice dropping to a hush as she stepped
closer her friend. You dont
want to be around those kinds of
guys. Theyre druggies. Theyre
the kind of guys you read about
going to jail or ending up dead
somewhere. Were not like
them.
Well, arent you high and
mighty. Just who would you say
we are like? Sasha was defiant.
Youve got the best parents
in the world, Steph continued.
God, they give you everything.
You want to go to college on that
math scholarship and theyre
going to help you. Youre going
to screw all that up.
Sasha was getting agitated,
and waved off the whispered
tirade. Look, you dont know.
You dont know what its like to
be fat and have to live your life fat
and be invisible to everybody all
the time. Youre thin and youre
pretty youll never know what
its like to be somebody else,
Sashas face tried hard to conceal
the hurt that followed the words,
but Steph could see it. She knew
it had been there all along. And
heres the other thing that stuff
makes you lose your appetite.
I havent eaten anything at all
since Saturday night Ive lost
four pounds!, Sasha said, her
voice full of pride.
Thats just stupid. Youre
supposed to eat. Youre supposed
to sleep, Steph said, her arms
crossed and shaking her head.
Ive slept enough, Ive definietely eaten enough. Ive never
felt better, Sasha closed the
locker door. She knew what she

pointed to them and strode into
her response.
I cant get him to take those
nasty things off, she explained.
Hes got some nice new house
shoes, but hes hell bent on wearing them things. They smell horrible, Art, for crying out loud,
she scolded, facing her husband.
By God, theyre comfortable,
and Im supposed to stay comfortable and rest up, he explained in
a for the hundredth time tone
to his wife. She tossed up her
arms and shrugged.
Swearingen grinned and
coughed again, this time a little harder. Maggie had told
Bookman on the phone the visit
needed to be short. Art had just
finished the last round of chemo,
and was really knocked down
by it all. What he needed most
was to rest, Maggie said, doctors order, and she intended
to enforce it. Law enforcement
was in Arts blood the lungs
now ravaged by cancer had been
pierced twice by gunshots over
the past forty-four years and
Art would still be down at the
office or taking patrol if there
was any possible way. But he
was sixty-six years old, and he
had cancer a cancer he and
his wife intended to beat and
neither he nor the thirty year-old
undersheriff were any match for
Maggie.
Whats the deal on the girl?,
Swearingen asked, leaning forward, now serious. Maggie took
the cue and walked back into
hallway leading out of the parlor,
silently mouthing the words not
too long over her shoulder to
Bookman.
It looks pretty bad, Art.
Bookman said, his holster creaking a little as he sat down in a
plush flower print chair opposite
Swearingen.
Maggie come back from the
store yesterday telling about it.
Apparently the ole Henrysville
chatter boxes are passing the
story pretty hard. Bookman
nodded. Whats this about rose
petals in her mouth?
Thats the thing, see,
Bookman stared at the carpet,
speaking deliberately and slowly. The medical examiner found
rose petals in her mouth she
was probably fifteen years old
or so, we still dont have an ID
anyway these rose petals were
fresh, like they came right off
the flower here lately. Gross
says thats a calling card from
whoever did it. As fresh as the
flowers were hes guessing the
body was only in the well a day
or so, and the body doesnt show
signs of being dead anywhere
longer than that, Bookman
looked up, the first time hed
met Swearingens eyes since the
story began. Art, Gross says she
was killed somewhere here close
by, and that whoever he is hes
one weird sonofabitch.
Whats KBI say?
Theyre running the particulars through NCIC and
INTERPOL, but I havent talked
to them since earlier this morning. I gotta wonder, though, you
know, they had three guys down
here at six oclock Sunday morning. They wont say much, but
it sure seems like they got here
awful quick with an awful lot of
horsepower you know, maybe
like they know more about this
than theyre saying, just going on
the particulars.
Could be. Theyre usually
afraid well screw something up,
so they stay pretty close on the
big-uns, Swearingen said. But
murders with this rose petal in
the mouth thing ought to stick
out like a sore thumb somewhere.
I wouldnt think it could be that
3B
LOCAL
hard to track down if theyve got
Jane Does like her somewhere
else not with the Internet and
them computers and everything.
So you dont know nothing about
the girl, then?
Not yet, Bookman said,
shaking his head. And thats the
other thing; Gross said it would
take a week or better to get blood,
fiber and fingernail work done
on the body cause of backlog
at the state lab. They got blood
back this morning, his eyes
narrowed with suspicion. Shed
been hitting the crank pipe pretty hard, and the guy mustve
wore a condom because shed
been rooted but there wasnt no
semen anywhere. And it must
have been mutually agreeable,
because other than the strangulation wounds on her and the
scratches Gross said she got from
the fall in the well after she was
dead, there wasnt a mark on
her.
Swearingen listened, nodding his head slowly in thought.
Probably a runaway, Art said,
still nodding. Probably rolled
in on one of the highways. They
ought to check whats the name
of that one big truck stop down
there north of Tulsa? they
ought to check that one. That 169
brings more in from Oklahoma
than any other road in the state.
Bookman nodded, his eyes distant and troubled.
Listen Todd. This kinda stuff
happens sometimes. Youve just
got to work your end of it and
leave the rest to the boys at state
who are trained for it. Nobody
expects you to be no Sherlock
Holmes. Bookman looked down
at the carpet again.
Art, he said softly. Im a
fish out of water on this thing. I
mean, I barely got my certification training in. You hired me
not even eighteen months ago. I
dont know what to do next.
Yes you do, son. Arts voice
was low and confident. You
keep your nose to the ground
and you work the local, and let
them state boys work the other.
Art paused a few seconds, and
Bookman continued to listen,
eyes on the floor. What about
Bo? Bookman glanced up and
shrugged.
It aint got no better. I can
handle him, I guess.
Art squirmed a little with
the discomfort from the topic.
Hed confessed to Bookman
when he accepted the undersheriff appointment about the way
Walker got hired. It would have
been hard enough for Bookman
to have handled the undersheriff
job anyway, Swearingen realized
later, even without that goddamn
Walker kid nipping at his heels.
Bookman was an honest kid, but
he just didnt have enough grit
to make a good cop. That was
Bo Walkers problem. He was
nothing but grit, and mouth. It
worried Art to have to leave the
department to Bookman, but he
soon learned he had a lot bigger
things to worry about.
Youre going to have to. You
know that, dont you?
Bookman nodded.
Lara heard the old wood frame
door rattle as Israel opened and
closed it, his new work boots
landing heavy on the tile floor
of the utility room. She sat at
a desk in the living room, her
hair pulled up into a bun held by
a barette and her fingers pecking at the computer keyboard on
an item for next weeks church
bulletin. She could easily have
pushed her chair back slightly and seen past the open door
to the hallway, past the spare
room and bathroom which had
become Tenders new temporary domain, and into the utility
room to determine the source of
the sound. She stopped in midstroke, hearing as the boots took
a few quick steps, then slowed,
almost unsure, and then slowly
made their way up the hallway
toward her. Another moment she
sat still, almost lost in thought,
then she shook herself back to
the keyboard and was typing
again by the time Tender walked
up to the living room doors
threshold.
Evening Mrs. Tinney. I
didnt want to frighten you with
a bunch of noise back here less
I told you it was me. His eyes
did a quick, natural scan of the
room. Old furniture, book cases
filled with books, a couple of old
faded paintings on the walls. A
chess table with a game in progress, an old piano pushed back
in one corner of the room, twenty year-old television set. Trash.
Nothing in here they could give
away, much less worry about
having taken from them. His
eyes settled on Lara.
Oh, dont worry, Lara
smiled, turning slightly toward
him. A wayward strand of her
hair had escaped the barette to
brush gently over her face, and a
strong but delicate finger pushed
it back behind one ear. Tenders
eyes were locked on her. Petes
always banging around back
there working on something. Im
pretty used to noises around this
house. She smiled at him until
she noticed his gaze. Shed felt
it before, but the realization that
they were in the house alone
made her more uncomfortable
with it. She glanced away.
Wheres the pastor? Tender
asked slowly.
Hes at the Lions Club meeting, she replied. They always
meet on Monday nights. The
conversation, or at least what
there had been of it, lagged. The
room was still a little dark even
with the table lamp by the piano
turned on. The computer screen
gently lit Laras face. How was
the first day?
Hard work. That buildings
old. Old plaster and lath holds
tight. Im dirty as sin, he caught
himself. I mean, I really need
a shower. Lara smiled a little.
There was a long silence.
Never worked one of those
before, Tender finally said,
pointing to the computer screen
and taking a few steps forward to
the back of Laras chair. His presence seemed to engulf her, and
she turned toward the computer
as he reached forward over her
shoulder to point to the screen.
Played video games when I was
a kid, course. Everybody did.
But I never had no call to learn
to work one. He knelt by her
chair as his arm extended forward, focusing his gaze on her
hair and the side of her face. He
took a long, silent breath, filling
his nose with the smell of her
hair. From behind her he could
see across her supple throat, part
way down between her bosoms,
and her chest underneath the
light blue cotton dress seemed
to rise and fall a bit faster now,
though he could not hear her
breath quicken. Lara could feel
his presence although he never
touched her. Her heart began to
pound with anticipation, excitement, fear.
Oh, theyre really pretty easy
nowadays, she said, her voice
quivering a little as she watched
his finger trace the words on the
screen. His arm and his hand
were slender and knotted with
muscle, shaded slightly by plaster dust. You just have to know
how to type and it pretty much
does all the rest. Do you know
how to type?, her voice broke a
little at the end of the sentence,
and she trained her eyes on
the screen hard, tears creeping
into the bottoms of her eyelids.
Tender retrieved his arm and
grasped the back of her chair,
the backs of his fingers touching
her body for the first time. Her
skin was warm and soft through
the thin fabric. They froze there
for several moments, she peering into the computer screen but
cognizant of his every sound and
movement, he edging closer to
the back of her neck. Slowly,
tiny hairs on her skin began to
vibrate under the warm, almost
fluid rush of his warm breath
across her neck and shoulder.
She inhaled deeply, slowly, and
her eyes, hidden from his view,
closed softly as her chest rose.
Almost by instinct he could
sense her anticipation, and he
moved closer.
The ringer on the desk telephone sprang to life in an instant,
shattering the silence and bringing Lara to her feet. She snatched
up the phone and turned to face
Tender, who had now risen and
retreated a couple of steps.
Yes honey, her face glanced
up to Tender, whose expression
seemed to become cross as he
took another step back. The
minute book? Oh, let me see
Yes, here it is, right on the desk
by the computer, she said, trying hard to focus on her husbands voice. Tender stepped
back toward the hallway. Soon
his boots thudded across the
floor toward the shower. She
turned toward the hallway door
to find herself in the room alone.
What? Oh, no. Nothings the
matter, she said, panting slightly with tension and pushing
her hand back though her hair
with a nervous flip. I was just
working on the bulletin and the
phone kind of startled me, she
half chuckled. Do you want to
come and get it? Oh, okay, I can
just bring it out there. No, its
no trouble. Ill just bring it out
there. Far down the hallway to
the rear of the house, Lara heard
the shower start up.
Okay, let me make sure Ive
got the right one, she stalled.
Its the black one? Whats supposed to be in it? Okay, do you
need me to bring a pen? Oh, you
have a pen. Just the book, okay,
okay honey. In a bit. She kept
the phone to her ear after Tinney
hung up, her ears focused not
on the receiver but on the sound
down the hall. She stood there,
cold from fear and her head
swimming with confusion.
Still dazed, she gathered the
reverends book in her arms
and moved toward the hallway
door to push it shut. Looking
but not paying attention at first,
her hand began to push the door
closed when she noticed movement down the hallway.
Tender was two steps into the
hallway from the spare room, not
having yet noticed his observer.
His naked body was thin but
tightly muscled, small scars
and bruises accenting his skin
in various places. His chest and
shoulders were thin, but tiny,
well-defined muscles rippled
across them, reaching high up
into his throat and jawline and
stretching far down to his lower
stomach. His thighs and calves
were small but wiry as well. A
tan line was visible at his waist,
even in April, giving the appearance of a man who often worked
outside without his shirt. On his
third step, he glanced up to take
the bathroom doorknob, and
came eye to eye with Lara. He
slowed, a tiny smile beginning to
crawl into his lips. He searched
her face for response and stood
there, peering deeply into her
wide, blank stare.
She stood frozen, resting her
hand and shoulder against the
half-closed hallway door. There
were no quick movements or
apologies of embarrassment. Up
and down his body her eyes traveled, once, twice, three times.
Fear and tepid excitement had
knotted into a feeling of defeat,
and a lump fixed itself in her
throat as tears began to well up
in her eyes. She ran her eyes
once more down the length of
his body, in her mind acknowledging her desire but swept by
indignity at the same time. Her
eyes fell to the floor, and she
closed the door between them.
Minutes later, Pete Tinney
stood outside the Northcourt
Hotel and restaurant, where
the Henrysville Lions Club met
every other Monday night, as
his wife quick-stepped up to
him and threw her arms around
him before even handing him
the notebook. Her eyes were red,
and her lips and nose moist from
crying as she kissed him. His
surprise was immediate. Shed
had a hard afternoon, she said.
No, she didnt want to talk about
it. She just missed him.
Silently she recited Galatians
5:16 to herself. I say then: Walk
in the spirit, and you shall not
fulfill the lust of the flesh.
Thought you was off til
tonight? Deputy Otis Purvey
looked up from an open manila
folder on his desk. Two in the
morning was an odd time to see
Bo Walker at the department
when he wasnt on duty.
Couldnt sleep, Walker said,
had some things to catch up
on anyway. He tossed his jacket onto the chair of his desk.
Whos in tonight?
Just Ted. Hes down south.
Shift change at six. Purveys
eyes watched Walker carefully,
even after they trailed back to
the folder. Walker never talked
to him much anyway except to
tell him to get out of his way.
The pleasantry, like his being
here at all this time of night, was
strange.
Walker paused a second,
and walked directly back to
Swearingens office. Purveys
eyes followed him around the
corner into the darkened hallway, the sound of his solitary
boots echoing off the old wood
floor. The door was closed but
unlocked. The glow from the
office light suddenly faintly illuminated the hallway, and Purvey
strained his ears to hear in that
direction above the crackle of the
police and sheriff radio behind
him. Soon the light switched
off, and the clump of Bos boots
announced his return.
Walker strode past Purvey,
who pretended to read his file
and not care what his colleague
was up to. Purvey heard the
lid of the copy machine rattle
a little as it opened. Bo slapped
the multi-page document in the
auto-feed bin, and hit the green
button. Soon a complete duplicate of the materials exited the
output shelf, and Bo took special care to arrange a couple of
color photographs on the glass
of the copier bed to get copies of
them as well. Placing the originals back in the file folder he
gathered his copy, pulled a stapler from another desk to give
his document a quick staple, and
walked passed Purvey again and
into Swearingens office. The
light went on and off quicker this
time, and Walker headed out still
carrying his copy. He grabbed
his coat and left without a word.
Purvey looked at the copier
then watched out the window
as the headlights of Walkers car
turned out of the parking lot.
Walker pulled to a stop
down the alley a block west of
the Sentinel office, tucked the
photocopy inside his jacket
and walked east in the brisk
pre-dawn air. Poor old Todd
Bookman, Walker sneered to
himself. Everythings been just
a little too much for you to handle lately, aint it, Todd? Got a
new promotion and a department
to run and people to make happy,
and all of a sudden you got you
a murder investigation on your
hands. Folks gonna be watchin
ya, Todd; gonna be watching to
make sure you dont screw up.
Important stuff. Lets see how
you handle it when the heats
turned up a little bit.
He reached the front door of
the Sentinel, and peered quickly inside. The front office was
black, save for the glow from
an illuminated clock toward the
rear. The papers rattled a little as
Walker pulled them from inside
his jacket. He rolled them into a
tube and shoved them through
the mail slot in the Sentinels
front door, then quickly stepped
away back toward his car.
Chapter 6
Colt City was barely a town
even more than a century ago,
when speculators thought for
sure the railroad station would
be built there on its way south
out of Sharon County. Now it
was only a name on a map, the
location of a giant aqua-blue cylinder that served as one of several water storage tanks for Sharon
County Rural Water District 2.
At two in the morning, dim
yellow light glowed from Ben
Daleys dingy trailer house just
west of the water tower as a dark
colored Ford Explorer rolled
with its headlights off and its
engine at idle over the top of a
hillside pasture overlooking the
trailer.
The chemical smell of ether
wafted from the open kitchen
window of the trailer as Ben fashioned a dish rag around the tiny
red straw which stuck down into
a glass jar and directed the spray
from a can of car starting fluid
into the now foggy glass receptacle. The jar was nearly half full,
just about the right level to fill
the rest of the way with water
and begin to agitate.
Around his stained and
smoke-scarred kitchen counter
tops lay the tools and materials
of the trade. A plastic container of brick and driveway cleaner muriatic acid; two cases of
twelve VICKS nasal inhalers,
stolen from the back storeroom
of one of the local nursing homes;
sodium hydroxide lye masquerading as drain opener; two
bottles of camp lantern fuel, two
large eye droppers, a number of
other small glass bottles, a Pyrex
baking dish, a mixing bowl, coffee filters, a larger jar with a lid
on it, and a glass test tube.
Ben had everthing he needed,
except arm strength. Hed been
cranking for three years, busted once already, and selling his
extra production to the college
kids down at Emporia. His thick
mat of brown, uncut hair was
discolored and straw-like, his
body was perilously thin from
meth-induced starvation, and his
teeth recently had begun to take
on a dark tint as his starving but
drug-duped body had begun to
sap their nutrients.
This recipe called for a lot of
agitation, which meant hed be
working for about three hours
before he began to heat the final
mixture in the baking dish, boiling off the last of the liquid, and
scraping the crystals of meth off
the bottom and sides of the dish.
Hed be up all night, but that was
no big deal. Why the heck was
the dog barking?
***To be continued next week
beginning where Chapter 6 left
off this week.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, June 2, 2020
Providing food security
Kansas Guard serves up two
million meals and going
Citizen-Soldiers are sworn
to protect and serve their
communities. While many
Kansas National Guard members are accustomed to being
called to duty in response
to natural disasters such as
tornadoes, floods and snowstorms, its not often that the
Guard gets called upon to protect its citizens from hunger.
Soldiers from the 2nd
Combined Arms Battalion,
137th Infantry Regiment,
Kansas
Army
National
Guard, have been working
along with The Outreach
Program to package together
one million meals to be distributed to food banks across
Kansas.
The One Million Meal mission began in early May with
Kansas Guardsmen unloading equipment and setting up
assembly line tables at the
Barstow Schools IDEA Space
in Leawood, Kansas. Once the
initial setup was complete,
Soldiers were given a demonstration by the Outreach
Programs staff of the food
packaging process as well as
briefed, extensively, on the
safety protocols for handling
food.
We have pretty stringent
safety protocols that we have
already trained the Soldiers
in, Rick McNary said.
Theyll work through those
processes as they assemble
meals.
McNary, a native Kansan
from Potwin, serves as the
vice president of strategic
partnerships for the Outreach
Program, a 501c3 not-for-profit entity aiming to provide
safe water, food, medical care
and education to people at
home and abroad.
One thing that Ive discovered in my twenty years of
working food security, is that
hunger is a national defense
and security issue, McNary
said. And what I find so
powerful in what were doing
here is that, Ive been doing
this for ten years and Ive
never seen anything quite
like this.
Many food distribution
programs around the nation
are largely performed with
a volunteer staff. However,
according to McNary, a great
number of foodbanks are no
longer capable of accessing
these volunteers due to stayat-home orders. Increased
need as a result of growing
unemployment and disruptions in food distribution
channels caused by the pandemic has only further compounded this issue nationally.
Being able to engage the
National Guard to not only
assemble the meals but
help in the distribution and
ensure these meals get into
the hands of those who need
them the most, is absolutely
vital, McNary said. These
guys and gals are going to
help provide food security.
Theyre
just
jumping right in, 1st Lt. Blake
Satterfield, commander of
Company C, 2nd Combined
Arms
Battalion,
137th
Infantry Regiment said. As
soon as we had this mission
start, they were just excited
and ready to help out however they could.
Kansas National Guard
members have been actively
working food packaging and
food distribution missions
across the state.
This whole mission is
definitely a new experience,
Satterfield said. Weve got
scouts, weve got tankers,
weve got infantrymen, weve
got a combination of everyone from different parts of
the battalion that wouldnt
normally interact or see each
other so its good for them
to see and interact with guys
that arent just from the same
squad theyd normally see
every drill weekend.
The assembly line process
for constructing one million
meals, requires a team of
four to six Soldiers stationed
at each table. Each team is
responsible for packaging
one of the seven meal varieties. Two Soldiers scoop raw
product into funnels while
a third holds the meal bag,
which is prepackaged with
the specified meal seasoning.
Another team member then
weighs the bag to ensure it is
within the correct weight tolerance level. The meal is then
vacuum sealed and sent to be
It seems pretty simple, but
it is a workout on your traps
and back muscles, joked Sgt.
Gordon Lawson, an infantryman with Company C. I do
surprisingly get a little workout from scooping all day.
Lawson, a native of
Leavenworth, Kansas, says
the One Million Meal mission
is a perfect example for why
most choose to serve in the
Guard.
Its what it means to serve
right now, the ability to look
out for your community, and
Im all about that, Lawson
said. I feel like this is my
chance to do good for the community and thats really why
I enlisted.
The properly proportioned
bagged meals are then evenly
distributed into small boxes
called pantry packs. Each
pantry pack contains seven
bags of each one of the seven
meal varieties. According to
McNary each box only weighs
five pounds which allows it to
be easily distributed.
The idea for this came
from conversations we had
with organizations like
Meals on Wheels, Feeding
American, etcetera, saying
we need small boxes that can
get into the hands of people
who are in need of food assistance, McNary said. These
are crucial to fill a gap that
has been opened because of
supply chain issues caused by
the pandemic.
The meals being created
were formulated by Iowa State
Universitys Department of
Food Science, and are specifically crafted to be shelf-stable,
nutrient-dense, protein-rich,
and easily prepared.
At my table specifically,
were putting together macaroni with tomato basil sauce,
Lawson said. Ive honestly
lost count at this point how
many weve made I just see
macaroni and soy and think
okay, lets just keep going.
Music definitely helps,
Cpl. Stormie Bush, a paralegal specialist for Company C
said. We try to go as fast as
possible and we do get a little
competitive between teams at
times to see who can make
the most.
A softball coach in Melvern,
Kansas, Bush says she appreciates the importance of the
mission, the comradery its
building, and the opportunity
the Guard has provided her.
As you know all sports
have been canceled and
everything we were doing
was remote, Bush said. So
when this opportunity came
up I was just like, sign me
up.
I think its great, a lot of
these guys just really want
to help out, Satterfield said.
Its also good because some
of my guys were laid off or
furloughed due to the stay-athome order so being put on
orders is not only helping the
community but its helping
some of these guys financially.
Assembling the meals is
only the first part of the mission. Once assembled pantry
packs are complete, they are
placed on a pallet, wrapped
and moved to a loading zone
where they are shipped out to
areas in need.
Everything that were
making is staying here in the
state and helping out citizens
of Kansas, Bush said. I feel
good, knowing that Im doing
something productive and
that helps out during these
uncertain times.
Providing one million
meals to citizens affected by
the COVID-19 pandemic is an
incredible feat all on its own.
However, the Soldiers of the
2-137th didnt stop there. After
completing their first million
ahead of schedule, the Kansas
Guardsmen continued their
pace and packaged a second
million well on their way to
three million meals providing an even higher level of
food security for Kansans.
Its been incredible watching these men and women
work, McNary said. I cant
stress enough the importance
of providing food security, and the Kansas National
Guard and Kansas Division of
Emergency Management are
really getting in front of that
and providing caring resources to Americans and especially Kansas citizens who are
hungry.

FROM PAGE 1
Kansans seeking to renew
their concealed carry handgun
licenses (CCHL) but unable
to meet the ordinary requirements because of limitations
imposed by the state's response
to the COVID-19 pandemic will
have late fees waived and be
accommodated by new procedures, Attorney General Derek
Schmidt announced today.
"During the disruption
caused by the COVID-19
response, some Kansas CCHL
holders have encountered difficulties in getting their permits renewed," Schmidt said.
"Limited access to notary services, closed driver's license
bureaus unable to issue new
license cards, and other limitations have made the renewal process more challenging.
Therefore, we are temporarily
waiving late renewal fees and
modifying the renewal application to accommodate these
challenges."
The modifications and
accommodations will be in
effect until October 1, 2020, or
until otherwise modified by
the attorney general. They are
made possible under authority of available administrative
laws. Those modifications
include:
*The late fee is waived
for a renewal of a licensee
whose CCHL expired on or
after March 12, 2020, the date
the governor first declared
a COVID-19 state of disaster
emergency in Kansas.
*A modified renewal application form will require an
unsworn declaration instead
of notarization.
AAA: Important time to
revisit teen driving safety
As drivers return to the road
during eased travel restrictions, so begins the season
when teen drivers are most
at risk. The combination of
schools closed, activities curtailed, summer jobs canceled,
and COVID-19 restrictions
being lifted, could prove deadly
as teens take to the road this
summer. AAA recommends
that now is a good time for
parents to both model safe driving behaviors and help ensure
their teens practice them too.
In Kansas, 117 people were
killed in crashes involving
teen drivers in the past ten
years during the 100 Deadliest
Days, the period between
Memorial Day and Labor Day.
Nationwide, more than 8,300
people died in teen-related summertime crashes from 2008 to
2018. Thats more than seven
people a day each summer as
compared to the rest of the year
(six people/day).
The last decade of crash
data shows that teens continue
to be over-represented in crashes, and summertime marks an
increase of fatal crashes for
this age group, said Dr. David
Yang, Executive Director of the
AAA Foundation for Traffic
Safety. Our data analysis has
found that for every mile driven, new teen drivers ages 16-17
years old are three times more
likely to be involved in a deadly
crash compared to adults.
Due to their inexperience,
teen drivers are at a higher risk
of crashes. According to the
new AAA Foundation Traffic
Safety Culture Index, about
72% of teen drivers aged 16-18
admitted to having engaged in
at least one of the following
risky behaviors in the past 30
days:
Driving 10 mph over the
speed limit on a residential
street (47%)
Driving 15 mph over the
speed limit on a freeway (40%)
Texting (35%)
Red-light running (32%)
Aggressive driving (31%)
Drowsy driving (25%)
Driving without a seatbelt
(17%)
Parents remain the best line
of defense to keep everyone safe
behind the wheel, said Shawn
Steward, Manager, Public and
Government Affairs for AAA
Kansas. Its never too soon to
educate teens on the dangers
of distracted driving, speeding,
and the impairing effects of
alcohol and marijuana. But we
cant just tell teens about the
dangers. We must also refrain
from engaging in risky driving
behaviors and ensure we are
modeling good behavior.
To keep roads safer this
summer, AAA encourages parents to:
Talk with teens early and
often about abstaining from
dangerous behavior behind
the wheel, such as speeding,
impairment and distracted
driving.
Teach by example, and
minimize risky behavior when
driving.
Establish a parent-teen
driving agreement that sets
family rules for teen drivers.
Conduct at least 50 hours
of supervised practice driving
with their teen.
To support parents in conducting practice driving sessions during COVID-19 and
beyond, AAA is providing a
free four-page guide to help parents coach their teens on how
to drive safely. The Coaching
Your New Driver An In-Car
Guide for Parents AAA
ParentCoachingGuide 2020
offers behind-the-wheel lesson
plans, including a variety of
DOs and DONTs to make the
learning experience as helpful
as possible. For parents, the
guide can be beneficial as they
coach their teens on a variety
of routes, building on their formal behind-the-wheel training.
TeenDriving.AAA.com has a
variety of tools to help prepare
parents and teens for the dangerous summer driving season.
The online AAA StartSmart
Parent Session also offers
excellent resources for parents
on how to become effective
in-car coaches as well as advice
on how to manage their teens
overall driving privileges.
Teens preparing for the responsibility of driving should enroll
in a driver education program
that teaches how to avoid driver distraction and other safety
skills.

WAR…
FROM PAGE 4
Which side in that war have
our leaders taken? Watch carefully. Its obvious.
The rioters in Minneapolis
and in other places act as if
theyre allowed to loot and
burn.
In fact, they are allowed. No
one stops them.
The authorities dont arrest
them. Instead, they pander to
them, flatter them, desperately
try to win their love.
Why are masked lunatics setting fire to Wendys?
Because the rest of us are sinful.
Thats what our leaders tell
us. The crimes of the mob are
the punishment we deserve.
Thats their argument. Many
seem to buy it.
On a White House executive staff call just this morning, key domestic policy
advisors Brooke Rollins and
JaRon Smith argued that it
would seem racist to say anything about the rioting in
Minneapolis. Better just to let
it happen. So thats what they
are doing.
We should have seen this
coming.
When you express an opinion our leaders dont like, they
call it violence. When criminals commit acts of actual
violence, they call it speech.
In other words, the game is
rigged.
So why are the rest of us
still playing it? We have more
power than we think we do.
Our system only functions
because dutiful normal people
people with self-control and
decency, and a sense of responsibility toward others created our system.
They sustain it. They pay
the bills. None of the thugs
looting Target, or the well-paid
nihilists on television who are
egging them on, have added a
thing. Nothing.
Yet all of the destroyers
expect this arrangement will
last forever. For them, its
been a very good deal. But
what exactly are you getting in
return for your contributions
to this system?
The authorities clearly dont care about you. The
police wont show up to save
your life. Literally.
During election years,
sweaty politicians claim to be
on your side. Its a lie. Theyre
not. Theyll waste your time
with hollow posturing. Theyll
feed you pointless symbolic
victories and expect you to
celebrate, like youve actually won something. But when
the mob comes, theyre gone.
Youre on your own.
Thats true. Those are the
facts. We cant change them.
All we can control is our own
behavior.
Should you keep playing
along with all of that? Ponder
that the next time they demand
you get a permit to put a deck
on your own house. Think
about it even harder the next
time you write a tax check.
