THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Charges were filed
last week against a Garnett
man and woman in connection
with a hit-and-run accident
June 11 that claimed the life of
a 22 year-old Mont Ida man.

Ag land tax calculation has
owners in a pinch, but sale
prices for land remain high
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Local farmers and others
in Kansas are finding themselves on
the hard side of a now lopsided equation that figures their ag land value for
tax purposes on an 8-year period that
includes some great crop price years
with the tax bill coming due during
a time when those farm prices have
plummeted.
But even as that tax bill goes up,
those who watch local real estate say
prices to buy local ag land have never
been higher.
Its a tax system designed to level
out the hills as long as they arent too
steep or too close together. Commodities
prices started a sprint for higher ground
about midway through 2010 and rode
high until 2013 before sliding to present
lows in 2014. That bubble of high pricing
is now working into calculations to set
those ag land values for tax purposes,
but the farmers who have to pay them
are now facing anemic prices for just
about everything the land will grow.
It worked in the reverse at the
beginning of the cycle, said Anderson
County Appraiser Steve Markham,
talking about the period when prices
were high but taxes were still figured
on the years prior when revenues were
lower. A flip-flop of the beginning of
that cycle, the Kansas Department of
Revenue knows the bubble wont work
its way through the system anytime
soon.
Because of the 8 year average, we
anticipate that the ag use values for
crop ground will continue to increase
for several years due to the higher commodity prices in 2011, 2012 and 2013,
said Zoe Gehr, Agricultural Use Value
Coordinator for the Kansas Department
of Revenue, in a memo to the Anderson
County Appraisers office on Friday.
Markham said as expected, some
local farmers havent been pleased
about this end of the cycle.
We have seen an increase in people
voicing displeasure with the continued
increase, he said. And we have seen
a couple more appeals due to that. For
those appeals, we verify the acreages
and usage. But, if they wish to appeal
beyond that, it becomes a state/board of
tax appeals (appeal).
Though the tax liability is higher and
crop prices lower, that dynamic doesnt

first appearance in court with
counsel was last Tuesday and

Ashley Hobbs, 27 of Garnett
and the owner of the suspect
vehicle, was charged with
obstructing apprehension or
prosecution, a non-person felony; giving false information
concerning a report or accident, and permitting operation of a motor vehicle with
no proof of liability insurance,
both misdemeanors. Her first
appearance is set for 10 a.m. on

School turn lane at $318,000 price tag, Storms bring outages, little damage

BY DANE HICKS
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Garnett City
Commissioners last week
approved a bid by an Ottawa
company to construct a southbound turn lane on U.S.
Highway 59 in the area of
Garnett Elementary School.
The project will be funded 100 percent by the Kansas
Department of Transportation.
The discussion about better
traffic control near the school
has been bandied ever since the
schools construction and eventual opening for the 2012 school
year. Traffic was one of the
main concerns about the U.S.
59 location, but a northbound
turn lane alleviated part of the
congestion and no accidents
have been reported in that area
since the school was built.
The southbound turning
lane will require the widening of the highway to the west
in the vicinity of the school
and its approach. Killough
Construction of Ottawa won
the job from among three bid-
ders with a bid of $318,674, with
a runner up bid of $372,644 from
Bettis Asphalt from Topeka.
The engineers estimate pegged
the proposed job at $467,000.
The project is expected to
be completed by the opening
of school in August 2017. It follows a recent pavement marking project on U.S. Highway
31 from Garnett to just past
Harris, as well as other pavement marking projects that
affect traffic on local corridors
in Allen, Franklin and Miami
counties.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A buffeting summer storm that settled in on the
area over the weekend meant
sporadic electrical service and
some tree damage for local
residents, but overall the area
escaped heavier damage seen
in the region.
Problems started after a
Friday night lightning and rain
storm that dropped an inchand-a half of water on some
areas of Anderson County and
kept temperatures and humidity high all day Saturday.
Kansas City Power & Light offi-
cials said downed tree limbs
throughout their service area
from the Friday storm had
crews scrambling to fix outages.
Garnett City Manager Joyce
Martin said KCPLs power
feed to the citys electrical system was erratic on Saturday,
causing several intermittent
power outages until the decision was made to disconnect
from KCPL until its feed stabilized and instead operate on the
citys diesel generators. City
electrical crews worked on the
problem from 3 a.m. Saturday
morning until Saturday afternoon.
We went back on KCP&L
around noon on Saturday,
Martin said. Same problems
late last night (Saturday) with
the interconnection and our
north substation. Luckily we
have our engines to fall back
on.
Storms moved into the area
again Saturday, firing up with
wind and heavy lightning
around 9 p.m. Much if not all
of the local KCPL customer territory as well as the City of
Garnett was blacked out for several hours with power restored
around 12:30 a.m. Sunday. Staff

Report Uncovers Medicaids
Vital Role in Rural Kansas
TOPEKA – Many rural families
in Kansas have access to crucial medical care, thanks to the
Medicaid program.
A new report from the
Georgetown University Center
for Children and Families says
in Kansas, the number of children covered by Medicaid in
small towns and rural areas
rose from 28 percent to 36
percent among the largest
increases in the country.
And David Toland, CEO of
the health care advocacy group
Thrive Allen County, says
these children and families
risk losing their health care
access as Congress and the
White House consider major
cuts to the program.
Weve seen so much progress in rural counties around
the state in reducing the rate
of uninsured, he states. And
thats in spite of Kansas not
having expanded Medicaid,

All you rock fans dying to boogie to the live beat of your favorite rock band had better stick to
listening to radios and records
this summer. Or better yet, consider changing your musical
tastes to country and western.
Most of this summer the music
scene in Kansas is going to be
crowded with the whole spectrum of country music from
swing to bluegrass to hillbilly
and country rock. Kansas has
never been the favorite stomping ground of rock n roll bands
since there are few cities with
concert halls large enough or
acoustically good enough for

Housewives should go slow in
buying large supplies of flour
at this season of the year. It is
buggy, prices are abnormally
high, and money will be saved
by waiting for the new crop.
This is the warning from C.A.

buggy, says the report. This
has been a weevily season.
Screen out the bugs. The flour
will probably be alright. This
is no time to load up on barrels of flour. Wait for the new
crop. You can buy July flour $3
cheaper and September $5 less
than present prices. Economize
at eating. Help others.
The Men of the House
It is not unusual to see the men who live in
our care homes take on a very tender role
where weaker residents are concerned.
that isnt always easy for those who recall
the man of the house of their youth having
imperfections.
A couple of fellows who were in better
shape than one of our female residents
used to call her the baby and tuck blankets
around her in her recliner. This happened
several years ago when we were new to the
operation, and I remember being stunned
by this simple act of concern.
At ComfortCare, we make a conscious
decision every day to honor all the men
in our homes as if they were the greatest
fathers or uncles or mentors to ever impact
the life of a child. If you have a father who
needs more care than he is receiving, we
invite you to come see the difference it
makes in the lives of the men of our
houses when we give them honor, dignity
and respect. We know of no other way to
live.
As one of these men aged, another man
used to help him and hold his hand when
they walked together.
Recently, one of our younger residents took
on the responsibility of helping another
resident eat.
The adult children of our prospective
residents are sometimes conditioned to
think that their parents gain the most
satisfaction when being entertained with
games and activities. I think the evidence
suggests that real satisfaction is found in
helping others, even at a very advanced age.
The men of the house particularly seem to
retain a strong sense of chivalry.
This Fathers Day we will have an
opportunity to honor those Dads
who are still with us. We understand

As far as the prices for ag
land, we have seen the average price per acre on valid,
arms-length transactions go
steadily upward for the last 5
years(2012-2016), Markham
said. So, it doesnt seem to
have impacted prices as yet.
Local real estate agent Scott
Schulte of Garnett said though
commodity prices can have an
affect on land pricing, local
sales dont seem to reflect it.
Our local land prices currently are holding firm and if
anything are still increasing
in value, Schulte said. Ive
been selling land in this area
for 36 years and I will say these
are the highest land prices Ive
ever seen and not just cropland, but also grassland, and
hunting ground.
Schulte said slight increases
in interest rates seemed to be
having little or no affect on
local sale prices.

The vehicle was impounded

Comments on Facebook
became pointed last week as

express their frustration that
Hobbs charges didnt seem to

Kansas Treasurer Jake LaTurner
announces unclaimed property tour
TOPEKA – Kansas Treasurer
Jake LaTurner will be kicking off a tour of all of Kansas
105 counties to promote many
of the programs and services
administered by the Office.
The tour will be launched from
the Treasurers hometown of
Galena, Kansas on June 12th.
My goal as the State
Treasurer is to help Kansans
plan and prepare for the
future, said LaTurner. On
this 105 county tour, we will be
promoting four very important
and rewarding missions at the
Treasurers Office: Returning
unclaimed property to its rightful owners, helping Kansans
save for higher education,
empowering individuals living with a disability and their
loved ones to save for disability
related expenses, and increasing the financial knowledge of
all Kansans. I look forward to

The Kansas State Treasurer
Office is currently safeguarding over $350 million worth
of unclaimed property and
we are working diligently to
return it to its rightful owners.
Unclaimed property includes
inactive savings and checking
accounts, uncashed checks,
stock shares and bonds, dividend checks, insurance proceeds, mineral royalties and
utility deposits.
Kansans
who cant make it to the event
may call the State Treasurers
Office at 1-800-432-0386 or log
onto www.KansasCash.com to
search for unclaimed property.
There is no cost to search and
claim your rightful property.
Along
with
assisting
Kansans in their search for
unclaimed property, Treasurer
LaTurner and staff will be
talking to Kansans about how
the Office can help Kansans
plan and save for the future.
The Treasurers Office administers the Learning Quest 529
Education Savings Accounts,
which helps Kansans save for
the students in their lives. The
funds are invested and then
can be utilized for higher education expenses.
Treasurer LaTurner and his
staff will also be helping people
living with a disability save for
their future by signing eligible
Kansans up for the brand new
ABLE accounts. The Kansas
ABLE checking accounts help
make paying for qualified
expenses safe and easy, and
they continue to empower individuals with disabilities to gain
financial independence and
save the money they earn.

REMEMBRANCES
I cannot describe the outpouring of support, she said.
Our son though would not
want all this negative going
on, he was one to go on and
keep smiling. I just ask lets not
try to spend our quality time
thinking on this. I believe the
sheriffs office has done a wonderful job, and all will continue and let the courts decide.
Anderson County Sheriff
Vern Valentine cautioned in
his own Facebook comment
that much of the discussion
contained erroneous facts.
It is time to let the courts
and attorneys take over comments are getting way out
there, Valentine said. A lot
of comments are wrong as to
what did or did not happen and
that makes it hard on everyone
to include the victims family. There are some statements
that the public or officers can
make that can hurt the case
one way or the other.
The Review requested probable cause affidavits used by
officers to base both arrest
warrants on June 14. State
law allows 10 days for those
reports to be released after
their review by the court.
Over the first 11 months
of this fiscal year, sales, corporate income, and individual
income tax withholdings are
performing better than the
first 11 months of fiscal year
2016, said Kansas Department
of Revenue Secretary Sam
Williams. That is an indicator that Kansas consumers are
earning and spending more in
our state.
Total tax receipts in May
2017 came to $441.25 million,
compared with $469.51 million
in May 2016. Estimators pre-
dicted the state would bring in
$443.11 million this month.
Individual income tax for
the month totaled $157.82 million, compared with $207.14
million in May 2016. This $49.32
million difference is mainly
because the Department has
improved its pace for opening
individual income tax returns.
As a result, there was not a
backlog of unopened returns
pushed into May 2017.

The Men of the House
It is not unusual to see the men who live in
our care homes take on a very tender role
where weaker residents are concerned.
that isnt always easy for those who recall
the man of the house of their youth having
imperfections.
A couple of fellows who were in better
shape than one of our female residents
used to call her the baby and tuck blankets
around her in her recliner. This happened
several years ago when we were new to the
operation, and I remember being stunned
by this simple act of concern.
At ComfortCare, we make a conscious
decision every day to honor all the men
in our homes as if they were the greatest
fathers or uncles or mentors to ever impact
the life of a child. If you have a father who
needs more care than he is receiving, we
invite you to come see the difference it
makes in the lives of the men of our
houses when we give them honor, dignity
and respect. We know of no other way to
live.
As one of these men aged, another man
used to help him and hold his hand when
they walked together.
Recently, one of our younger residents took
on the responsibility of helping another
resident eat.
The adult children of our prospective
residents are sometimes conditioned to
think that their parents gain the most
satisfaction when being entertained with
games and activities. I think the evidence
suggests that real satisfaction is found in
helping others, even at a very advanced age.
The men of the house particularly seem to
retain a strong sense of chivalry.
This Fathers Day we will have an
opportunity to honor those Dads
who are still with us. We understand

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, June 20, 2017
OPINION
What ever happened to
economic development?
Bankers are pretty grim about rural Kansas.
And theyre no happier about rural economies in Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota,
Missouri, Nebraska, North and South Dakota
and Wyoming. Lagging commodity and oil prices are at the root, they say, according to a monthly survey of banks in small towns administered
by researchers at Creighton University. The
surveys based off loan applications and declined
loans, loan restructurings and other activities
that give banks an idea of the flow of money
around their towns.
Whats worse is that, as local farmers and
oil men know its been bad for a while. The
Creighton University Rural Mainstreet Index
sets an economic benchmark of .50 for its calculations based on those bankers survey responses
.50 is neutral, or an economic standstill below
.50 is worsening and above .50 is getting better.
At least thats according to bankers answering
the survey.
For 20 months the region overall was below.50,
but in May and June we managed to claw our
way back to well neutral. Not exactly anything to write home about.
You may know the discussion best from the
giant income tax increase legislators in Kansas
passed last week thats headed for your wallet.
It was the effective heeling and hiding to the
barn door of Governor Sam Brownback for his
plan to cut taxes, put that money back into the
private sector and grow the Kansas economy.
But it didnt work unemployment is low but
most of that money went somewhere else or is
being socked away, as folks nervous about the
economy tend to do.
So were left to analyze why those of us in
Eastern Kansas have failed so badly to find alternatives to oil & gas so that when those markets
tank they dont take us all with them. We dont
build airplanes, make cell phones or knit protest
hats any of the big burgeoning markets these
days and though weve griped about the rural
economy all my 32 years of Kansas residency,
weve never seemed to make a decent alternative
plan.
Whatever happened to the big multi-county
Project 17 SEK regional economic development
operation that aimed to find and fix common
problems that hampered us in the 17-county
region of southeast Kansas? Unfortunately it
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
resulted in not much more than the creation of
another pseudo-government agency with hired
staff and a $1 million grant from the feds and the
State of Kansas. It approached some leadership
and training projects and getting girls involved
in Science Technology, Engineering and Math
but its goal of creating and sustaining well-paid
jobs in advanced manufacturing and other sectors within the region well, that hasnt panned
out.
Economic development for small towns has
always been three-quarters witchery happenstance connections made by manufacturers looking for a specific location for some reason and
happening to find a building or other assets that
just fall into place. But it seems governments
roll in the process has always paled to that of
good old-fashioned private greed both that of
leaders and developers in small towns and the
manufacturers themselves. Government has a
whole different set of political motivators for
success, but the private sector desire to make
money is always consistent, true and to the
point. Theres a tendency among the private
sector to lay back and expect those agencies to
find the results when theyre employed to do so
when the truth is nobody does the job better than
those who are hungriest to do it.
Kansas small towns including ours here in
Anderson County need more private sector
involvement in attempting to attract and retain
jobs and less reliance on government agencies
tasked to help. Its time that the people with the
most to gain led the way.

The Age of Unilateral Rule
The Trump administration has been
exhaustingly eventful, but almost none of
the events have involved Congress.
The beginning of Donald Trumps presidency has been an extension of the last six
years of the Obama administration, when
Capitol Hill was largely a sideshow to the
main event in the executive branch in general and the Oval Office in particular. Barack
Obama and Donald Trump have almost nothing in common, except their modes of governance.
Obama was coolly cerebral and deliberative to a fault, whereas Trump is blustery
and impulsive. Yet Obama and Trump are
both, in their own ways, attention-hungry
celebrities. Obama never demonstrated the
patience or aptitude for real persuasion,
whether LBJ-style arm-twisting or Reaganstyle move-the-needle public argument.
Neither has Trump.
Until further notice, this is the American
model — government by and of the president.
We live in the age of unilateral rule.
It may be that Congress eventually passes Obamacare repeal-and-replace and tax
reform, and makes its mark. Neither initiative is looking robustly healthy, though. And
the action is all with Trump, what he does,
says and tweets.
To his credit, Trump hasnt pushed the
constitutional envelope the way Obama did
with his Clean Power Plan and his executive amnesty (both blocked in the courts).
What Trump has done unilaterally has been
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
firmly within bounds and largely defensive
in nature. He has either reversed Obama
actions or used executive orders as symbolic
measures.
Still, the yin and yang from Obama to Trump
means that American government has
become a badminton match between rival
presidents with dueling executive actions.
As a result, our laws are largely contested
in the realm of executive decisions, agency
rule-making and the courts. Arguably, in
striking down Trumps travel ban on highly
dubious grounds, the 4th Circuit has done
more legislating this year than the United
States Congress.
If Trumps unilateral rule is an extension
of what has come before, it also is an intensi-
fication.
First, theres the timing. Ordinarily, a
president loses Congress or otherwise stalls
several years into his tenure, and looks
to foreign affairs and executive orders for
victories. Trump is already dependent on
presidential unilateralism, even though his
party controls Congress.
Meanwhile, Congress has been handing
over authority to the administrative state
for decades, and lately has gotten out of
the habit of passing almost anything except
last-minute omnibus spending bills.
Second, there is the continued centralization of power in the White House. This has
long been the trend, but President Trump
has taken it to another level; he operates on
a hub-and-spoke system with a small group
of loyalists and family members jostling for
influence around him.
The day Trump nearly initiated the process of pulling out of NAFTA captures the
method perfectly — no serious deliberation,
just the presidents state of mind, based in
large part on whom he had spoken to last.
This is highly personalized rule.
No matter what the written rules are,
any system of government is susceptible to
change through habits and precedent. We
may be witnessing the creation of a new
norm, one that hollows out the branch of government charged with writing the nations
laws.
Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.
Trumps new deal with Cuba plays on history
Sometimes history taps us on the shoulder
and reminds us it is a continuum and we are
only a point along the way. That happened
Friday. Two significant events occurred.
They are related. Neither should be treated
lightly.
First, Helmut Kohl, longest serving Cold
War leader, former Chancellor of Germany,
unifier of East and West, the man who presided over the Berlin Walls destruction and
the end of communism in East Germany,
died.
Kohl was an inveterate optimist, a principled friend of America from Ronald Reagan
through Bill Clinton. He was especially
close to Ronald Reagan and George Herbert
Walker Bush. Reagan kept only a handful
of photographs on the wall of his office in
California. One was of Helmut Kohl. I saw it.
Kohls vision was for a free and unified Germany. He pursued the vision with
unremitting faith and confidence that it
could happen, until it did happen. He was
derided by Mikhail Gorbachev, and doubted even by the Iron Lady herself, Margaret
Thatcher. But Kohl persisted and prevailed.
Freedom prevailed. Germany was unified.
Communist East Germany is no more.
By coincidence, President Trump on
Friday reset American and global expectations for communist Cuba. He boldly
promised that communist Cuba, like East
Germany, would one day be free. He envisioned the 60-year yoke of communist oppres-

sion, murder and unrepentant violation of
all moral norms, ending.
In Miamis Little Havana, the president reframed American foreign policy in
terms that Ronald Reagan, Helmut Kohl
and Margaret Thatcher would appreciate.
He was clear, convincing and eloquent. He
defended individual liberty, human rights
and the sensibilities of all the long-suffering
Cubans and Cuban Americans. He spoke not
of things political, but of things timeless and
universal. He spoke to all Americans, and to
those well beyond America.
Specifically, Trump said: With Gods
help a free Cuba is what we will soon
achieve. And he set a nuanced policy in
motion, respecting Cubas inchoate sovereignty and challenging the countrys repressive and dehumanizing leaders to change.
Noting that America should not enrich,
empower or permit resources that benefit
Cubas ruthless military and security services, he brought the gate down on policies
that allow the transfer of free wealth to communist coffers.
The previous administrations easing of
restrictions on travel and trade do not help
the Cuban people, he said. So they will stop.
We now hold the cards, the president said,
and will play them.
While permitting divided families to
travel and keeping a U.S. embassy open in
Havana, he also spoke directly to Cubas violation of universally accepted human rights.
He told the story of an eight year old boy,
a talented violin player, whose father was
shot in front of him, by the Communists, as a
dissident.
The young boy was then ordered to perform on radio for the glory of Castros communist state. He declined. His home was
stormed. He was then compelled at the point
of machine guns to play a solo.
So he did. He played The Star Spangled
Banner.
That boy, now a world renowned violinist, fled to Spain, then in 1964 to the United
States. He was present in the auditorium
where Trump spoke. And he played the Star
Spangled Banner again. His name is Luis
Haza. Sometimes words just fail.

on their Road to Damascus, if these reprobates
figured out that conservatives have far more
weapons and ammunition than they do?
To Mr. Hicks at The Anderson County Review: I
greatly appreciated your front page story about
the income tax increase combining with the
property tax increase. I thought it was notable
that only the City of Garnetts property taxes
had declined since 2012, and that the county and
school district both went up. Makes you wonder
about these elected officials. Thank you.
People need to remember that there are always
two sides to every story.
This is a little late but I wanted to be sure to
bring to everyones attention the work of the city
and VFW in Garnett for putting out the flags on
Memorial Day and also the small flags used to
decorate the Anderson County Courthouse. It
sure adds to our town to see people show their
patriotism. Thank you.
I just wanted to thank the Anderson County
Sheriffs Department for their work in the terrible recent incident and let them know that the
community appreciates their efforts in investigating and finding the people who are (alleged
to be) responsible. We take for granted what
our law enforcement does until something big
happens and we never realize they are there 24/7
for our protection and to make our community
better. All the little cases of arrests and smaller
charges you see in the paper every week, dont
forget they do all of that and have to make sure
the small things are done right too. Thanks
again.

Fewer Kansas Kids Living in Poverty
TOPEKA Today, the Annie
E. Casey Foundation released
its 2017 KIDS COUNT Data
Book. The new report shows
that of the 16 child well-being
indicators analyzed, Kansas
has improved in 12 key areas,
among them, childhood poverty. The report also demonstrates that more parents are
working.
Everyone agrees that our
children deserve a path out of
poverty, and thats why Im
heartened that childhood poverty has decreased in Kansas
every year since 2012, said
Governor Sam Brownback.
Working to make Kansas
the best state in America to
raise a family, we created programs like the Kansas Reading
Roadmap to help at-risk students learn to read, and began
welfare-to-work reforms to
encourage the dignity of work.
According to the report,
Kansas ranks 15th overall
in the country, a significant
improvement from last years
overall ranking of 17th in the
nation. The state ranks seventh in the nation for economic
well-being. Kansas improved in
all four of the indicators that
are analyzed by the foundation
when compositing childhood
well-being.
The four indicators that are
analyzed include the number
of children in poverty, children whose parents lack secure
employment, children living in
households with a high housing cost burden and teens not
in school and not working.
Four-thousand fewer Kansas
kids are living in poverty compared to last years report.
The Kansas Department for
Children and Families (DCF)
assists low-income families
through a wide range of programs and services. In recent
years, with legislation such
as the Kansas HOPE Act, programs such as food, cash and
child care assistance have
increasingly
incentivized
employment over dependence.
We hear success stories every day from clients
who walk through our doors
feeling helpless, but with
encouragement, employment
training and skills-building
instruction, they are obtaining careers to support their
families, said DCF Secretary
Phyllis Gilmore.
Since January 2011, 42,231
new employments have been
CUBA… Trump plays to history
FROM PAGE 4A
President Trumps call
to restore a hemispheric
and global focus on freedom,
human rights and an end to
terrorism in all variations, is
resonant. It tells us that while
many in Washington and the
media fret over minutia, the
larger story of an American
and Western leadership of a
sort that Helmut Kohl knew
and personified, is back.
Count on it. That call was
heard in Cuba Friday, just as
Helmut Kohls call for East
German liberty was heard in
East Berlin and in Moscow.

group meets
Twenty-one members and
one guest, Scott Brown, met at
Garnett depot June 12, 2017 at
7:00 p.m. for a regular Prairie

Ruth Theis reported on the
Tiles project. The committee
needs names and money for
any new purchased plaques by
July 1, 2017. Each memorial plaque will be $30.00. The
memorial plaques will be
placed in cabinets inside the
depot. Anyone interested in
purchasing a plaque should
contact Ruth Theis.
Lynn Anderson stated she
is working on a Prairie Spirit
Rail Trail Facebook page.
The July Prairie Spirit Rail
Trail meeting will be at the

reported among cash assistance clients.
The other area in which
Kansas excelled in all four indicators was the Child Health
ranking. The 2017 report
revealed a 3 percent increase
in the number of children with
health insurance and a 3 percent decrease in the number
of teens who abuse alcohol
and drugs. Also, the number of
child and teen deaths per every
100,000 in Kansas dropped from
33 to 26.
In addition, the number of
Kansas children in single-parent families decreased, while
the number of high school
graduates graduating on time
increased. With the exception
of Nebraska, no other neighboring state ranked as high as
Kansas.
Compared to the 2016 KIDS
COUNT Data Book, Kansas has
improved in nearly every area
assessed by the Annie E. Casey
Foundation.
DCF serves as the State
social service agency, providing oversight for the well-being
of children and their families.
DCF focuses on child protection and strengthening families by working to reduce the
number of children in State
care, providing needed services and a safety net for the
most vulnerable Kansans.
Protect Pets as
Temperatures Soar
Humane Society of Missouri
and Animal Medical Center of
Mid-America urge pet owners
to avoid heat-related trauma
Summer has arrived
and so has the hot weather!
Temperatures are predicted to
soar into the 90s for the next
week. As warmer temps bring
an increase in outdoor activities for humans, the Humane
Society of Missouris Animal
Medical Center of Mid-America
warns pet owners that pets left
in parked cars or taken along
for a run, bike or rollerblade
ride can quickly be at risk for
serious injury or even death.
Here are pet safety tips for
active pet families in the summertime:
Never leave a pet unattended in a parked car when
the temperature is above 70
degrees. In just minutes, the
temperature inside the car can
reach more than 100 degrees,
regardless of whether a window is cracked. Leaving a
pet in a hot, unattended car
is inhumane and can cause
severe injury or death within
minutes. Harming a pet in this
way is illegal, punishable by
fines and imprisonment.
Take frequent breaks if
walking or jogging with your
dog and find patches of grass
to rest. Dogs can make great
fitness buddies, but asphalt
and concrete get hot quickly.
Heat rises from the ground,
and dogs absorb and release
heat through their paws.
Never bicycle or rollerblade
with a pet. Heat stroke and
possible death can occur very
quickly, particularly in hot
weather. Pets will do everything they can to keep up with
their humans, causing a pet to
be injured or suffer from heat
stroke.
Immediately apply cool
water to your pets paws and
stomach if it is showing signs
of heat exhaustion (excessive
panting, vomiting, lethargic
behavior), and see your veterinarian promptly.
Keep pets inside your home
where its cool. Never leave
pets stranded in the scorching
sun, even if they typically stay
outdoors. Provide plenty of
shade all day and fresh, clean
water at all times in a plastic
(never metal) bowl secured to
the ground to prevent accidental spills.
Protect your pet against
fleas, ticks and mosquitoes,
which are more prevalent
during warm weather. Have
them tested by a veterinarian
for heartworm disease (mosquito-transmitted) and use
heartworm prevention medication.
Avoid shaving a dogs coat.
A pets coat is designed by
nature to keep it cool during
the summer. Their fur also prevents sunburns. Giving longhaired dogs a trim is okay, but
never shave them completely.

There was evening, there was morning
In Genesis 1 we read the
account of creation.
At the
conclusion of each of the six
days of creation the text says,
And there was evening and
there was morning. Evening,
as God designed it, was the
period between sunset and bedtime, the early part of the night,
a period never later than sunset. Morning was the first part
of the day extending from sunrise to noon. The theme represented is that darkness evolved
into light and God continued on
with his creation.
Darkness is merely the
absence of light. Darkness
existed before the light of creation. In Genesis 1:2, we read:
Now the earth was formless
and empty, darkness was over
the surface of the deep, and the
Spirit of God was hovering over
the waters. Since darkness
was associated with the chaos
that existed before the creation
it came to be associated with
evil and death. Darkness in
the Bible symbolized mans
ignorance of Gods will and is
associated with sin. Darkness
WEEKLY
DEVOTIONAL
By David Bilderback
also describes the condition of
those who have not yet seen
the light concerning Jesus,
explained well in John 1:4, In
him (Jesus) was life and that
life was the light of men. The
light shines in the darkness,
but the darkness has not understood it.
The progression of creation
was always, there was evening, and then morning darkness to light. Jesus tells us
in John 8:12; I am the light
of the world. In other words
light has come into the world.
Darkness cannot overcome
light. If you need proof go into
a dark room and turn on the
light. Where does the darkness
go? It is subdued by the light.
Jesus plainly states that those
who rejected the divine light
would bring judgment upon
themselves. This is the verdict: Light has come into the
world, but men loved darkness
instead of light because their
deeds were evil. Everyone who
does evil hates the light, and
will not come into the light for
the fear that his deeds will be
exposed.
Perhaps the darkest hour
was at the crucifixion when in
Matthew 27:45 we read, From
the sixth hour until the ninth
hour darkness came over all
the land. This was the time
period when Jesus was atoning
for our sins, when all the wrath
of God was placed squarely on
him. Then Easter morning, the
greatest event since creation
when Jesus burst forth out of
the tomb victorious over death,
our salvation secured for eternity. Praise God for sending
his only Son, Jesus Christ to be
the light of the world.

Consumer Alert:
Tobacco settlement
ads are a scam
TOPEKA (June 16, 2017)
Kansas Attorney General
Derek Schmidt today warned
Kansans that advertisements
appearing online that purport
to offer consumers a share of
the Tobacco Master Settlement
Agreement are a scam.
The Master Settlement
Agreement reached in 1998
was to repay Kansas taxpayers for the health-related costs
of tobacco use in our state,
Schmidt said. The MSA has
never provided payments
directly to individuals. Any
advertising that claims to help
individual Kansans collect
money from the settlement is a
scam.
The online ads, which began
appearing recently, suggest
that consumers can receive
thousands of dollars per month
from the tobacco settlement.
However, before the consumer
can access the information on
how to file a claim, they are
directed to purchase a subscription to the website for between
$79 and $129. The subscription
form requires the consumers
personal information and credit card number.
Schmidt reminded Kansans
never to give out their personal or financial information
online, except to known, trusted websites using secure connections.
Consumers
who
have
received these advertisements
and paid money to the scammers are encouraged to file a
complaint with the attorney
generals office online at www.
InYourCornerKansas.org or by
calling (800) 432-2310.

Evel Knievel
Museum Opens
in Topeka
TOPEKA, KS Among the
many exciting attractions that
Kansas has to offer, visitors
to northeast Kansas can add a
new museum to their must-see
list of experiences The Evel
Knievel Museum at Historic
Harley Davidson in Topeka.
The museum held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, May
26.
The $5 million, 13,000 sq. ft.
museum features Evels motorcycles, leathers and helmets,
his fully-restored Mack truck
dubbed Big Red and his personal and never-before-seen
memorabilia. The two-story
museum also features several interactive experiences
including a virtual reality 4-D
motorcycle jump, Broken
Bones interactive with Evels
actual X-rays, Plan Your
Jump challenge, Engine and
Suspension interactive and
a Snake River Experience
Room featuring Knievels
actual X2 Skycycle.
The museum was made
possible, in part, by an $88,000
Attraction Development Grant
from the Kansas Department
of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism
(KDWPT). The program works
to assist the development of
sustainable, market-driven
travel experiences in Kansas
that will attract visitors and
create long-lasting economic
benefits from the creation of
jobs, capital investment, revenue and visitation.
During its two-week soft
opening, forty-six percent of
the museums visitors were
from out of state, including 13
states and four foreign countries, so the museum is quickly
becoming a destination.
We are tremendously excited to have the Evel Knievel
Museum join the large number of amazing attractions in
Kansas, said Linda Craghead,
KDWPT Assistant Secretary
for Parks and Tourism.

Sell stuff with your
own photo contest
These days just about everybody has a camera on his/her
phone, and if youre under the
age of 25 theres a law of the
hip universe that says every
picture you take your friends,
your dog, your omelette, your
dogs omelette MUST be
posted on some form of social
media.
This proliferation of photos
may be really bad when your
prospective employer or mother-in-law runs a Google check
on you, but it can be a huge
bonus for small businesses running sales promotions.
Because most of your customers are carrying cameras
and have immediate access to
their own audiences, theyre a
great opportunity to promote
your brand, special offer, sale
or other promotion. For them
its as easy as clicking and
sharing the trick for you is to
give them ample motivation to
advertise your offer.
The recipe for running a successful photo contest is to 1)
make it easy for the player, and
2) make it worth your players
effort.
Your customer is savvy
about this social marketing
schtick she knows shes
helping you out by taking part
in your game and promoting
you/it to her friends, so your
reward to her has to be worth
her while. It helps if your contest rewards her with cool
as well as cash or something
similar.
The cool has to do with the
subject for instance, people
love their pets doggies, kitties, ferrets, anacondas what
have you and they already
love to post pictures of them.
Have them shoot a picture of
their pet standing in front of
your store, or your billboard,
or your print ad, or maybe
HOW TO SELL STUFF

Review Publisher
even with a logo-emblazoned
bumper sticker from your company and post it on Facebook,
Instagram or Twitter to enter
the contest. Resist the urge to
make the photo subject directly relative to your business;
the more common the subject
the better. General photos of
peoples pets, kids, cars, etc.,
always work well.
Your challenge is to figure
out a way to work your product or service into the photo
in a simple but very visible
way. One example I saw from
a micro brewer was pet photos
with someone holding a labeled
bottle of the beer in the frame
not complicated, but it worked!
Back to the reward again,
the more general the better.
Our company has done it with
event tickets, even straight up
cash, although you can use gift
certificates, store credit, etc.
Hint do more than one prize,
so more players have a chance
to win.
So be just a little creative
and then make it simple and
your photo contest can help
you sell stuff!

LOCAL
June is a great time to remember
the importance of dairy in our lives
More than 75 years since
the annual celebration began,
June Dairy Month continues
to recognize dairy products
and the farmers who produce
them. The festivities kicked off
with World Milk Day on June
1. Initiated by the UN Food
and Agriculture Organization
(FAO), World Milk Day marks
the importance of milk as part
of a healthy and balanced diet
and the dairy industrys global contributions to economic
development and agriculture,
including the one billion people who derive their livelihood
from it, as well its commitment
to sustainability and protecting
the environment. Throughout
the month, people, companies
and communities will contin-
ue to recognize dairys positive
impact on nutrition and the
planet.
The 2015 Dietary Guidelines
affirms dairys important place
in the diet in its recommendation that people ages nine
and older consume three servings of low-fat or fat-free dairy
foods every day. Dairy products including milk, cheese
and yogurt provide important
nutrition to families, including a high-quality protein
which supports healthy muscles and promotes fullness.
Additionally, with only three
ingredients listed on the label
milk and vitamins A and D
and about a 48-hour journey
from the farm to the grocery
store, milk is a local food which
fits easily into the clean eating
trend.
Dairys contribution to
healthy eating would not be
possible without the people
behind the dairy products:
dairy farmers. Dairy farmers
work hard to minimize their
impact on the environment,
consistently focusing on recycling practices so that they use
as little water and energy as
possible in the daily management of their farms.
June is a time when we
can show our appreciation for
the 7,400 dairy farm families
in the Midwest, says Midwest
Dairy Association CEO, Lucas
Lentsch. Dairy farmers
demonstrate the highest commitment to producing nutri-
tious milk while protecting the
land on which they live and
work, as well as fund research
that leads to dairy product
innovation.
Midwest Dairy offers the
following ways for you to celebrate June Dairy Month:
Get to know a Midwest
dairy farm family by attending a June Dairy Month event
in your state or meeting a
Midwest dairy farm family
online.
Take the Dairy 3 For Me
pledge where you commit to
enjoy three servings of dairy
every day.
Include dairy as part of
meals and snacks. To start,
try this Raspberry-Strawberry
Smoothie made with milk and
yogurt.
For more dairy recipes, and dairy nutrition and
farming information, visit
MidwestDairy.com.
Midwest Dairy Association
represents 7,400 dairy farm families and works on their behalf
to increase dairy sales, foster
innovation and inspire consumer confidence in dairy products
and practices. Midwest Dairy
is funded by checkoff dollars
from dairy farmers in a 10-state
region, including Minnesota,
North Dakota, South Dakota,
Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois,
Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas
and eastern Oklahoma. For

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, June 20, 2017

To Save Childrens Lives, Look Before You Lock Cars
Kids in hot cars are a deadly combination. AAA Kansas
offers safety tips to avoid tragedy.
So far this year, 12 children
in the United States have died
of heatstroke after they were
left in hot vehicles. To stop
the deadly outcome of vehicular hyperthermia among the
most vulnerable passengers,
members of the U.S. Congress
recently introduced a new bill,
the HOT CARS Act of 2017,
which would require automakers to equip their vehicles with
an alert system designed to
warn the driver if a child is left
in the back seat.
In shocking news headlines,
a mother was arrested last
week after she allegedly left
two toddlers to die in a hot
car in Texas. Police officials
said the teen mother intentionally left the girls, her 1-year-old
and 2-year-old daughters, in the
vehicle for more than 15 hours.
Unintentionally or intentionally, as many as 40 children – one
child every nine days – die in
hot cars each year, on average.
Children are more vulnerable
to heatstroke than adults, and
area parents and guardians are
urged to look before you lock.
Similar legislation was introduced last year. Oddly enough,
Congress failed to pass H.R.
6041, the Helping Overcome
Trauma for Children Alone
in Rear Seats Act or the HOT
CARS Act of 2016. Like last
years bill, The HOT CARS Act
of 2017 would require the U.S.
Department of Transportation
to issue a final rule requiring
cars to be equipped with a system to alert the driver if a passenger remains in the back seat
when a car is turned off. Until
then, you can create an alarm
or reminder on your watch or
smart phone to make sure you
dropped your child off at daycare, advises AAA Kansas. As
an object lesson, simply leave
something needed for the day
in the back seat with your baby
a briefcase, purse or your
days shoes.
We dont promote leaving
items loose in a vehicle that
could become a flying projectile, but leaving an item in the
backseat that we will need can
force us to check the backseat,
said Trooper Chad Crittenden
of the Kansas Highway Patrol.
Removing a childs shoe or
small item and putting it on
a purse or passenger seat can
remind us of the occupants in
the back. Or it could be as simple as putting a post-it note
on the steering wheel or dash

board.
AAA Kansas urges drivers
to make it a routine to look
and check the back seat for
children before you leave the
car. According to national data,
about 51 percent of child hot car
deaths in vehicles were caused
by adults forgetting the children, and 29 percent of victims
were playing in an unattended vehicle, as studies in some
states have shown. Parents
should teach children that a
car is not a play area. Always
keep doors and windows locked
to prevent kids from playing
inside a vehicle.
In the past two decades, 712
children left in vehicles have
died of heatstroke, hyperthermia, or other complications. A
momentary lapse can cause a
senseless tragedy that unfolds
in a matter of minutes. It only
takes 10 minutes for a cars temperature to rise over 20 degrees
even if it isnt an unseasonably
warm day. This means that
on an 80 degree day the inside
of the vehicle will reach 100
degrees in the time it takes to
read a book or sing a few songs
with the children, child safety
advocates explain. Cracking a
window has little effect.
In fact, heatstroke can happen on cloudy days and in
outside temperatures below 70
degrees. Children overheat up
to five times faster than adults,
reports the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA). A child dies when
his/her body temperature
reaches 107 degrees Fahrenheit.
It underscores the fact that for
safetys sake, children may
never be left alone in a vehicle.
Tragically, a five-year-old
boy perished this week after
reportedly being left alone in
a hot vehicle operated by a day
care center in Arkansas. The
child was reportedly left in the
van for hours as the heat index
reached 100 degrees Fahrenheit
in West Memphis, Arkansas.
AAA Kansas urges schools,
camps, churches, daycare/
child care centers, sports
leagues and other organizations that transport children in
vans, buses or other vehicles to
have a process in place to make
sure that every child leaves the
vehicle after you arrive at your
destination. They are encouraged to first, develop and practice a routine that is used every
time they transport children.
This system should be in writing, shared, and used by everyone who is involved in transporting children, including the
director, driver, and any other
employees riding in the vehicle
or assisting the children when
exiting.
Other
important
tips
include:
Use the list of children to
verify each child by name.
Walk and check the inside
of the vehicle, both in and
under each seat.
Have a second person check
the vehicle.
Have a visual reminder
such as a sticker, keychain, or
hangtag that helps you do the
walk-through.
If you are a parent of a small
child, toddler or a newborn,
develop a daycare drop-off plan
so that if your child is late, or
isnt at daycare, youll be called
by the day center staff within
a few minutes, advises AAA
Kansas. Some children have
been left in office parking lots
by distracted adults forgetting
to drop them off at day care.
The children that have died
from vehicular heatstroke in
the United States (1998-October
2016) have ranged in age from
5 days to 14 years, explains
NoHeatStroke.org. More than
half of the deaths are children
under 2 years of age. Do not
let kids play in an unattended
vehicle. Area law enforcement
agencies and safety advocates,
including AAA Kansas, are
encouraging parents and caregivers to:
NEVER leave a child in a
vehicle unattended.
Make it a habit to look in the
back seat EVERY time you exit
the car.
ALWAYS lock the car and
put the keys out of reach.
If someone else is driving
your child, or your daily routine has been altered, always
check to make sure your child
has arrived safely.
Keep a stuffed animal or
other memento in your childs
car seat when its empty, and
move it to the front seat as
a visual reminder when your
child is in the back seat.
If you ever see a child left
alone in a hot vehicle, call 911
right away.
If the child is not responsive
or is in distress, immediately
call 911, get the child out of the
car, and spray the child with
cool water (not in an ice bath).
If you see a child alone in
a car, dont worry about getting involved in someone elses
businessprotecting children
is everyones business, advises NHTSA. Besides, Good
Samaritan laws offer legal
protection for those who offer
assistance in an emergency.
2017 Session The End of Veto
In the last week of veto session, a K-12 funding formula,
a tax bill, and a budget were
passed.
The new K-12 education
funding formula increases K-12
spending by $186.6 million in
2018 and $283.8 in 2019. The
types of weightings used are
almost the same as the 2014
formula; some of values were
changed. The bill passed on
a vote of 23 to 17. I voted No.
One of the reasons for my
vote was local school districts
can increase the Local Option
Budget (LOB) from 30% to 33%
without a vote of the people.
Another reason is it didnt
treat all schools fairly. The
court did not order, and should
not order, a dollar amount on
spending. However, most legislators chose to make the courts
opinion about money and not
results.
The budget is a 4% increase
in spending most going to
K-12 funding.
The budget
KANSAS LEGISLATURE
CARYN TYSON, 12th District Senate
takes money from Kansas
Department of Transportation
and it does not make the
KPERS state payments in 2019
(which is needed to eliminate
unfunded liability). During
debate, I tried to force a closer
look at travel and other ways
to save money but I could not
get most senators to support
the savings. Last year the State
spent approximately $3.7 million on international travel. I
also talked about how the state
employee raises of 2% in the
budget should be more fairly
distributed. Because of these
comments, employee raises
were reevaluated and more
targeted based off certain criteria. The budget passed 27
to 11. I voted No because of
the increased spending and
the lack of an attempt to stop
wasteful spending.
The tax bill that passed is
a massive tax increase, it is
reported to be the largest tax
increase in Kansas history.
The Wall Street Journal wrote,
that supposedly conservative Kansas will now have a
higher top marginal individual income-tax rate (5.7%) than
Massachusetts (5.1%). And the
unions will be back for another increase as spending rises
to meet the new greater revenues. This is the eternal lesson of tax increases, as Illinois
and Connecticut prove. The
bill passed on a vote of 26 to
14. After the Governor vetoed
the bill, the veto override was
27 to 13. I voted No on both
measures. It is not a solution
for the finance problems facing our state. Many wanted to
put income tax back on small
businesses. This accomplishes
that; however, only 1/3 of the
increase is on businesses, the
other 2/3 is on individual taxpayers. I agree we needed to
make changes to our tax code,
but this retro-active, starting
1/1/17, $1.2 billion tax increase
is an increase on every individual income taxpayer. The
legislature passed a massive
revenue (i.e. tax) increase
and increased spending to
match the increased revenue.
Because of this, the state will
be in the red in 2020,

Attorney for the Plaintiff
Tom and Marieta Hausers
story is the first in KFBs
Dealing with Disaster series.
The series features Kansas
farmers and ranchers and
their ability to rise above devastating disasters including
the states largest wildfire, an
April blizzard and its impact on
this years wheat crop.
Too much moisture on a
wheat farm in southwestern
Kansas in late April?
That never happens. Out
here conditions are usually
bone dry. When farmers dont
harvest a wheat crop its often
because of too little moisture.
Tom and Marieta Hauser
farm a couple miles from Big
Bow between Ulysses and
Johnson. The blizzard that
blasted this region of Kansas in
late spring delivered another
blow to their fragile existence
on the great High Plains.
On the early afternoon of
April 29, the storm blew in
with a vengeance and blanketed some of Grant County with
as much as 20 inches of heavy,
wet snow. A blizzard of this
magnitude seems to hit western Kansas just about every 30
years. The last one occurred
in 1987 and the one before that
swept in during the tail end of
winter in 1957.
Marieta recalls what happened this year. Before the
snow ever started that afternoon, more than two inches of
rain fell.
Out here you have to prime
the pump, before moisture really starts coming, she says. It
snowed and the wind howled
for nearly two days. In the middle of the night the electricity
went out.
When the snow stopped late
Sunday afternoon, the sun
came out and the sky turned a
deep blue. On the ground, nothing but beautiful white snow.
Underneath the snow, that was
a different story.
The first day after the
blizzard, you couldnt see the
wheat, Tom recalls. The crop

was buried under the snow.
When I saw that I didnt hold
much hope for a crop.
Day by day as the snow melted, the wheat picked itself up
from the ground as if to say, I
still have some life left.
Still, the 2017 wheat crop
didnt look as bountiful as
before. As Tom continued to
visit the fields and check on
the status of the crop, he found
a bit of frost damage with
crocked heads containing white
beards.
The Grant
County farmer also found some
hail damage and the weight of
the snow broke some of the
wheat stems about six to 12
inches from the ground. Not
all the wheat laid over by the
snow stood back up. Touches
of yellow in the crop indicated
mosaic wheat virus.
As May moved into June,
the wheat continued to head
out and fill. Weak spots in some
of the stocks broke off and fell
to the ground.
What happens to this years
wheat crop will be determined
by the weather. If it remains
dry, farmers may be able to
harvest downed wheat with a
pick-up header.
What will the Hauser wheat
crop make this year?
If it stays standing, Tom
believes he could harvest
25-bushel wheat. Before the
blizzard he hoped to harvest
a 40-bushel crop, maybe even
some 50-bushel wheat.
Last year Tom harvested
the best crop since he started farming back in 1975. This
bumper crop averaged better
than 50-bushels-per acre.
We broke even after raising
the best crop in more than 40
years farming, he says. The
price of wheat continued to
decline.
This year he faces the same
depressed commodity prices
coupled with escalating debt.
I love farming, Tom says.
Its the best life I can imagine raising food for people.
Despite this rough period, Im
in it for the long run.
An ace-in-the-hole that
helps the Hausers keep farming remains Marietas off-farm
employment. Shes worked
since they were married except
when their children were
small.
She currently serves as the
Ulysses chamber director. The
down-turn impacts Mainstreet
as well as farmers and ranchers in this region of the state.
Before last years bumper
crop, the Hausers experienced
approximately five years of
drought. While they insure
their crops, each year costs
more and yield averages continue to decrease.
The Grant County couple
has discussed on more than one
occasion how far in the hole
they want to go before they
pack their bags and leave farming.
How
many
disasters
beyond our control can we handle and still continue? Marieta
asks. I know one thing for
certain, without our off-farm
income the Hausers probably
wouldnt be farming today.
The farm couple hasnt
hit that point yet. They
understand that agriculture
remains a difficult vocation.
Commodity prices go up and
down. International trade can
be a fickle friend.
Still the tradition of western
Kansas farmers and ranchers
is steeped in the traditions of
adversity. The dust bowl years
of the Dirty 30s. Drought. Too
much rain. The white combine
(hail). Wind and tornadoes.
Tumbleweeds that take on
cars and trucks and leave their
mark.
Its either feast or famine
out here, Tom says. Most of
the time the famine outweighs
and lasts longer than the
feasts.
Still, farm couples like the
Hausers love the life they live.
I guarantee you this,
Marieta says. At night when
I drive home and I see the sun
setting and all the beautiful colors of orange, pink and purples
and the wind has finally died
down oh my goodness its
like no other place on earth.
And like the others who
inhabit this isolated, rural land
and communities, everyone
pulls together. Neighbors help
each other and understand out
here, farming bonds people and
community together.
Times will turn around,
Tom says. Well cut wheat this
year.
Yes, wheat harvest in Grant
County will soon begin and finish almost as quickly.
Dry weather will return.
But, such an event as the blizzard of 2017 will remain the
center of conversation for quite
some time.
Such talk reverberated
inside the Wagon Wheel Caf
and Bakery located near a spot
in the road known as Hickok
just the other day.
Whereve you been hiding? Marieta asked Ethel
Evans, a local cattle woman.
In the snow. Ethel responded
with a chuckle.
Que sera, sera.
