commissioners are expectnew gun regulations City

BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT City and county
leaders say they need more
time to review a new state regu-
their regular meeting tonight
that would let the city opt-out
of the new state regulation.
Meanwhile, county commissioners asked county counselor
James Campbell to take the
appropriate steps that would
allow them to opt out of the
regulations.
The measure likely will be
temporary and will allow city
staff to install more security
measures required by the new
law. Campbell advised commissioners to take advantage of a
year exemption period to see if
state lawmakers make changes
to the law next year, because he
had heard from many county
leaders who are unhappy about
the provisions required by the
regulation.
The newly adopted state
regulation goes into effect July
1 and requires city, county
and state buildings to remove
bans on concealed handguns
unless metal detectors or secu-
rity guards are put in place for
safety. Many cities and counties across the state are asking
for a waiver or exemption while
they consider how to adapt to
the law, or to give them time to
install more security measures.
Public officials will have four
years to carry out the plan.
In a report to Garnett city
commissioners before they
meet at 6 p.m. Tuesday at
city hall, city manager Joyce
Martin said she is requesting
an exemption until Jan. 1, 2014.
That should give city staff time
to develop a plan for installation of door alarms and other
security devices, she said.

Jones: Person who paid
for illegal postcards
had no criminal intent
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT- Anderson County
Attorney Brandon Jones said
he doesnt plan to file criminal charges against the person
who paid for anonymous election postcards in a contentious
spring vote to decide whether to
build a new hospital.
Jones presented a report to
county commissioners Monday
morning, June 24, about the
results of an investigation into
illegal campaign postcards and
robo-calls during the contentious spring election when voters approved a new, $25 million
hospital.
Postcards opposing the hospital were sent to local residents
and were illegal according to
the Kansas Ethics Commission
because they included no identifying tag line to denote who
paid for them. Robo-calls also
opposing the hospital also were
made around the same time
and also were in violation of
state campaign laws, but Jones
said he was unable to track the
source of the calls.
Jones said he was able to
track down the printing compaSEE ELECTION ON PAGE 3A

Garnett Post Office readies
for reduced retail hours
USPS continues to
make changes to
stem financial woes
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Local residents
who like to run errands over
their lunch hour soon will have
to make a few adjustments
when it comes to mailing letters
and packages. The Garnett Post
Office will be closed over the
noon hour starting July 8, as the
U.S. Postal Service continues to
look for ways to save money in
the midst of a financial crisis.
The Garnett Post Office
will open a little later and will
be closed during the lunch
hour. The new hours will be
9 a.m. to noon, and 1 p.m. to 4
p.m. Monday through Friday.
Saturday hours will remain the
same, 8:30 a.m. to noon.
Nearly all other area post
offices – including those at
Westphalia, Colony, Greeley,
Kincaid, Welda, Richmond,
Centerville and others – have
reduced or will reduce retail
hours by two or more hours
per day. Those changes were
made to better reflect decreased
mail volumes and revenues at
the offices, while still keeping
a post office in the town, said
Richard Watkins, spokesman
for the Mid-America district of
the Postal Service,
The changes to most of the
countys post offices came as part
of the Post Plan, also known as
the Post Office Structure Plan.
That plan was announced more
than a year ago, and initially
called for the closing of several retail locations. But after
a series of community meetings, including a well-attended

Missing couple found 900 miles from home
Family reunited with
lost elderly couple
in Mio, Michigan
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
MIO, MICH. The hunt for a
missing Garnett couple ended
safely last week, more than
900 miles from their home
in Garnett and more than 24
hours after they had been
reported missing.
Vernon Hunt, 92, and his
wife, Goldie Hunt, 81, were
found Wednesday morning in Mio, Mich., when they
stopped to ask for directions.
At that time, local police notified Garnett police and family members, who had been
searching for the couple since
they failed to arrive at their
expected destination in Illinois
Monday night.
Details about the couples
unexpected diversion were not
available, but a family member told local media the couple
somehow got lost, got turned
around and kept going north
about 400 miles past their
intended destination.
The couple left Garnett at
about 6 a.m. Monday morning, July 17, en route to visit
Goldies twin sister in Dwight,
Ill. The trip should have taken
about eight hours. When they
didnt arrive, family members
began looking for them.
The couple had a cellular
phone, but it was not turned
on, Garnett Police Chief Kevin
Pekarek said.
The couple was located
at about 9:30 a.m. Wednesday,
and were later reunited with
Goldie and Vernon Hunt
family members.

Sherry Louise Post passed
away peacefully in the embrace of
Gods mercy
on June 5, 2013.
Sherry
was
born to George
and
Louise
(Schwarz)
Post on June
2, 1954. She
was a resident
of Mapleton
Post
until 2004 when
she moved to
Garnett to the Tri-Ko group home.
She attended special education
classes in Mapleton, Ft. Scott, and
Parker. She was employed by TriKo, Inc. for 38 years until illness
forced her retirement. She had an
exceptional work ethic and received
many awards for her dedication
and performance in the workshop.
Sherry enjoyed cheerleading in
Special Olympics and was always
thrilled as each person participating was successful. She loved and
encouraged everyone. She never
knew a stranger and always wanted
to be a friend. She could always
be counted on to give a hug and a
kiss. She was totally devoted to her
family. She loved to accompany
her parents to Shrine parades, to
travel, and to participate in church
and family activities. She loved her
friends, her pets, country music,
dancing, fried chicken, chocolate
marshmallow cookies, and Diet
Coke.
Sherry was an active member
of the Mapleton Christian Church
and the Mapleton community. She
loved the Mapleton Days activities,
parades, community dinners, and
dances. She participated in activities with her group home in the
local community and churches in
Garnett until her health declined.
Sherry is survived by her mother, Louise Post Bassett of Frontenac,
her brother Greg (Sandy) Post of
Mapleton and her sister, Deborah
Potter (William) of Pittsburg. She
is also survived by her niece Alicia
Burk (Bob) of Pittsburg, nephew
Greg Post, Jr. (John) of Kansas
City and several special cousins.
She was preceded in death by her
father, George Post, on September
9, 1985, and her step father, Roy
Bassett, on January 8, 2007.
The family is eternally grateful
to the many Tri-Ko staff in Garnett
and Osawatomie for their loving
support and care throughout her
life. They provided her with many
of the experiences that gave her the
joy expressed through her infectious giggle.
The Rev. Matthew Hamilton
conducted a celebration of life
Saturday, June 22, at the Mapleton
Christian Church with a community luncheon. She was privately
interred in the Mapleton Cemetery
beside her father later in the day.
In lieu of flowers, the family
requests memorials to the Mapleton
Christian Church or the Tri-Ko
Special Projects Fund and they may
be left in care of the Cheney Witt
Chapel, P.O. Box 347, 201 S. Main,
Fort Scott, Kansas 66701.
God saw her getting tired, a cure
not meant to be, so he wrapped His
arms around her, and whispered,
My child, come be with Me.

already has filed for an exemption from the law. However,
the citys library will be
among several facilities the
city will include in its exemption request. Other buildings
include city hall, town hall
center, the Garnett Recreation
Center, water and power plants,
Housing Authority, swimming
pool and fire station.
Campbell said the regulations
would require open access to
public buildings. If government
leaders chose to restrict access,
they would have to set up metal
detectors and full-time security
officers at entrances. That could
cost anywhere from $250,000 to
$500,000, an expense that most
counties cannot afford.
Its possible state lawmakers will revisit the matter next
year, Campbell said. He said
he doesnt have a problem with
concealed weapons laws, but he
worries about allowing weapons in public buildings where
tempers can sometimes flare.
Youre now injecting a
gun into a situation that could
become confrontational. If Joe
Blow walks into your office
with a holster and hes paying his taxes, and someone else
walks in and gets confrontational, now theres a gun in the
situation, Campbell said.

ny that supplied the postcards.
That Shawnee-based company
was contracted for the job by
a smaller printing operation.
The smaller printer refused to
provide the name of the person who paid for the postcards,
but Jones obtained a search
warrant and was able to identify that person. He declined to
identify the person, who he said
claimed someone else actually
paid for the illegal postcards.
The person who ordered
the postcards did not realize
his or her actions were illegal, and had no criminal intentions, Jones said. Because the
postcards opposed the hospital,
and since voters approved the
issue despite such opposition,
the public was not significantly
harmed by the postcards, he
said.
Jones said he believed education about election campaign
laws was more appropriate than
prosecution, and any applicable
criminal charges like obstruction or corrupt political advertising would be low-level misdemeanor crimes that likely
would amount to a slap on the
wrist.
I feel my time and taxpayer
money would be better spent
pursuing other criminal activity, Jones said about his decision not to prosecute.
The person who paid for the
postcards still could face pen-
alties from the Kansas Ethics
Commission. The cost of the
postcards exceeded $500, and
any campaign funds in excess
of $500 must be reported to the
states ethics commission.
Jones said he hopes both
sides of the hospital issue will
be willing to put their differences aside and move forward. In
addition to the complaints about
the postcards and Robo-calls,
he also received complaints
about violations by supporters
of the hospital bond issue. He
said he received complaints that
county commissioners violated
open meetings laws when they
each signed a flyer supporting
the hospital bond issue, that
employees at the county clerks
office openly advocated for the
matter at the courthouse, and
that The Anderson County
Review offered free advertising
to the hospital supporters without making an in-kind offer to
its detractors.
Jones said he investigated
all complaints and found most
were not valid. County commissioners did not violate the
open meetings law, he said.
Review publisher Dane Hicks
said the paper made a donation
to the hospital committee that
was negotiated as advertising,
but opponents did not ask for
advertising and, because the
opponents were anonymous, he
wouldnt have known who to
approach.
remove the sexual offense from
the case. Anderson County
Attorney Brandon Jones said
he could not discuss details
of the case because it was in
the midst of plea negotiations.
Court records show that Jones
filed an amended complaint
June 10 that would charge
Clark only with aggravated
battery. However, Judge Eric
Godderz has not yet accepted
Jones amended complaint, and
has scheduled a review of the
case for 9 a.m. July 3.
If convicted of aggravated
battery, Clark could face a pris-
on sentence between 11 months
to 34 months, depending on his
criminal history.
Court records filed by Clarks
attorney argued that Clark suffers from various mental defects
and was not able to recognize
that the victim was younger
than she presented herself to
be. The girls Facebook profile
said she was 20 or 21, and she
told Clark she was old enough
to consent to sex. In reality, the
girl was two months younger
than 14, the records said.
Prosecutors ordered their
own mental health evalua-
tion, which is confidential. The
results of that evaluation, however, would play a role in consideration of any plea agreement, Jones said.
The initial charges against
Clark include aggravated battery, aggravated criminal sodomy and aggravated indecent
liberties, but at a January 2012
preliminary hearing, a judge
ruled there wasnt enough evidence to prove aggravated indecent liberties.

meeting at Westphalia where
residents were adamant in their
protests, the U.S. Congress put
pressure on USPS officials who
announced instead they would
reduce hours.
People said, if you are looking to save money and seeing
fewer transactions, why not
consider shortening the hours
of operation so we get to keep
our post office, our zip code and
our sense of identity, Watkins
said.
For the most part, postal
patrons have accepted the
changes, Watkins said. About
half of the MidAmerica District,
which covers about 10 percent
of eastern Kansas, has completed the process of reducing
hours. The district was able to
report about $23 million in revenue last year, but nationwide
losses are reported to be about
$25 million each day.
The postal service has implemented several cost-cutting
measures over the past few
years, including consolidating
delivery routes, consolidating
mail sorting centers, reducing
workforce and reducing retail
hours.
The change at the Garnett
Post Office wasnt part of the
Post Plan, but is in line with
other changes made at postal
centers across the nation,
Watkins said.
The next step for the USPS is
to cut Saturday mail deliveries
for everything except packages.
However, that move has been
blocked by Congress, although
USPS officials continue to press
for the authority to cut Saturday
deliveries. The USPS receives
no government tax money to
operate but is still subject to
congressional control.

EKAE management built a
stronger company by building
up cash for rainy days
Hats off to East Kansas Agri Energy
for solid management that built a cash
reserve in the local ethanol company
leading up to last years drought and
corn shortage – cash which will allow
the company ample funds to restart the
plant for production this fall without
going back into debt.

this economy of
shallow job building, the return of
those jobs will be
a good thing for
our community.
In the interests of full disclosure, its fair
to inform our
readers that The
Anderson County
by Dane Hicks,
Reviews parent
PUBLISHER
company, Garnett
Publishing, Inc., is an investor in
EKAE. Its also fair to say that to date
its one of the best investments weve
ever made.
In its 8 years of operation, EKAE
has seen the benefit of both good luck
and bad in the fledgling ethanol industry. It was greatly luck that gave the
company an early boost when it first
opened, with the impact of Hurricane
Katrina driving up fuel and ethanol prices while plants still had the
advantage of cheap corn. That kick
start allowed the company to return
dividends to shareholders early on and
build extra cash in case it was needed.
But any farmer or any business
owner knows that in good times bad
luck is always lurking, and it came calling when EKAE made an attempt to
diversify its revenue steams by investing in a wood pellet fuel manufacturer.
This time, timing worked against the
company when Home Depot backed out
of the sales agreement that constituted
the majority of those wood pellet sales
and saw EKAEs effort to diversify all
but collapse. It was a hard lesson, but
because of EKAEs strong cash position
built up through years of competent
and conservative management, the
company was able to grit its teeth, write
the check, and get back to business.
Some EKAE investors have been
critical of the companys management
for not returning more money in dividends to share holders. But had that
approach been the rule over the years,
the company might not have had the
$6.5 million officials say it will take to
restart the plan now that the ground is
moister and corn is growing. Clearly,
management made the right decision
to stop the bleeding financial losses
by shutting down last fall and, overall,
by maintaining the philosophy to hold
more cash in the company as a general
rule.
Those prudent decisions will result
in EKAE and its employees coming
back to work several weeks from now,
and will maintain the company as a
foremost force in local economic development. They were decisions from
which the entire community will benefit.

I was just reading in the Review about
the Westgate Street problem with the
speed. You know, did anyone ever
use a little common sense and think
about this: How bout putting a sign
up that says Reduce speed in 500 feet
(or whatever the distance is) to 30
mph. That makes a helluva lot more
sense than increasing the speed and
then dropping it down again. Thats
just like putting a sign that says Stop

common sense involved in it. Thank

What Jefferson wrought
BY RICH LOWRY
NATIONAL REVIEW
If only all congressional committees
were so inspired.
The committee charged with putting
to paper the reasons the Continental
Congress had resolved to declare independence from Britain turned
to Thomas Jefferson to do
its drafting. If the reasons
for that choice werent
particularly profound -Jeffersons talents as a
writer were widely recognized, and no one thought
the declaration as important as other pressing
Lowry
revolutionary business
— its consequences assuredly were.
Jeffersons work of a few days was for
the ages. John Adams had handed the
writing over to the Virginian while he led
the floor debate over independence — and
came to regret the missed opportunity for
glory.
But Jeffersons words were more than
rhetorical theatrics; they laid the philosophical bedrock of the American republic. In the space of three magnificent sentences in its preamble, the declaration
packs enough content to fill volumes of
treatises on political theory.
In declaring that all men are created
equal, it insists that theres no such thing
as a natural ruling class. Put another way,
it tells us, as Jefferson wrote near the end
of his life, that the mass of mankind has
not been born with saddles on their backs
nor a favored few booted and spurred,
ready to ride them legitimately by the
grace of God.
In spelling out our unalienable right
to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, it anchors our very humanity in
the right to self-determination. Jefferson
amended the traditional trinity of life,
liberty, and property by inserting the
pursuit of happiness in recognition that
property is only a means to that larger
end. What is important is the colonists
liberty to do what they believe necessary
and useful with their lives, historian
Robert Webking writes.
In saying that governments are instituted among men in order to secure
these rights, it grounds the authority of
government in the protection of our freedom.
Finally, in stipulating that whenever
any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the
people to alter or abolish it, it asserts the
right to revolution. The rest of the document details the long train of abuses by
the British government that justifies the
colonists assertion of this right.
All of this was a direct steal from the
natural-rights philosophy of John Locke.
These Lockean premises were so widely accepted among revolutionary leaders that the preamble — which has never
lost its power to awe and to command
the readers assent — was adopted by the
Continental Congress with nary a peep of
protest. Neither aiming at originality of
principles or sentiments, Jefferson later
wrote of the declaration, it was intended to be an expression of the American
mind.
All honor to Jefferson, Lincoln once
proclaimed, to the man who, in the concrete pressure of a struggle for national
independence by a single people, had the
coolness, forecast, and capacity to introduce into a merely revolutionary document, an abstract truth, and so to embalm
it there, that today and in all coming days,
it shall be a rebuke and a stumbling block
to the very harbingers of reappearing tyranny and oppression. Amen.

Review.
Brownbacks two-year
budget will be a test
Kansas lawmakers, at the request of
Gov. Sam Brownback, this year passed the
first two-year budget in recent history.
That means that the state has a spending plan like it or not, talk among yourselves for the fiscal year that starts this
July 1, and for the fiscal year that starts
July 1, 2014.
Now, does that seem to be a big deal?
Well see.
The key to a two-year budget, of course,
is that in its second year, we figure that
the basics of operating state government
and providing the services to Kansans that
they want are pretty much sketched out.
There will be changes, of course, something always comes up, maybe a bridge
washes out (cause for celebration in western Kansas) or we learn that the state has
put more money into some program that it
really needs. There will be changes, count
on it.
But the two-year budget also presents
an interesting political morality test for
the administration. There are two-year
budgets and there are two-year budgets.
So, one way to do it is to budget for this
year and next year and then, just after the
next gubernatorial election, budget for
the first two years of a new term…whoever is governor. Thats a pretty standard
two-year budget. When a new governor
comes into office, he/she gets to plan out
quickly because the governor will still be
moving into Cedar Crest while assembling
a governmentjust what the new administrations policy issues are going to be.
Fresh start…except for those remaining
six months of the fiscal year before July
1. And those six months probably give a
new governor fairly important breathing
room while becoming acclimated to running things.
But, say that two-year budget is a rolling budget. That means every year, the
Legislature and governor add another
year, which means that the currently
planned spending doesnt just end at the

I read in the paper where the city
might be going to resurface Park
Road. If the city doesnt want to put
a sidewalk from Caseys on out to 59
Highway, I think before they resurface itd be a darn good idea if they
widen the shoulders on Park Road so
people can at least walk or ride their
bicycles or wheelchairs can go up and
down on the new asphalt. It would
sure make it more convenient and
the road wouldnt be so narrow. Even
if its only three or four feet on each
side. Thank you.
The old nursing home west of Garnett
on Seventh Street is becoming a real
eye sore. The grass has not been cut,
the weeds are head high, the driveway
is growing up in grass and weeds.
This building could be a real asset for
the community for economic development or to locate another business in,
but it just looks like h-e double hockey sticks and it needs to cleaned up
if anybodys every going to be interested in it.. I dont know who owns it
but it really needs some work.
There is a sign for an area business
at the corner of Maple and Seventh
in Garnett. I thought there was an
ordinance in the city law books that
said that unless you had a business
that the sign was attached to that you
couldnt have billboard and signs and
what not in town. I think especially
that ought to be in effect for a business thats out of the city limits and
pays no city taxes. Thank you.
I just read in the paper the name of
the streets that are to be fixed this
summer. They might be bad but there
isnt a street in town thats any worse
than Lake Ridge road in Lakeview
Estates. While youre out there checking out the road you might see what
can be done to get rid of the little
gray house on the corner thats full of
mold and needs the yard mowed. Its
disgraceful.
Yes, I agree, the tractor tires turned
inside out and filled with flowers that
Richmond has done are very nice.
Pomona has done the same thing.
And what about all the little flags
Richmond put out along the highway for Memorial Day Weekend? Why
wasnt the flags put out along the
highway in Garnett? The flags in the
cemetery are beautiful but they need
to be on the highway also.
KANSAS STATEHOUSE COLUMNIST
end of Brownbacks first term as governor, but continues into the first year of his
second termor the first year of a new
governor if Brownback isnt re-elected.
That leaves an extra year of the footprint of the current governor that slops
into what might be the first year of a new
governors term. If Brownback is reelected it means that five years from now at the
end of his second term when he cant seek
reelection, whoever becomes governor is
pretty well locked into the spending plan
for the first year of a new term.
Anyone wondering whether a governor,
in his last term, might want to make sure
that the incoming governor doesnt mess
up some grand plan of the outgoing governor?
Now, maybe Kansas has its first twoyear budget. But it will be worthwhile next
January, at the State of the State address,
to find out whether the budget rolls…or
not…

Just wondering why people who
smoke have to throw their package
when theyre finished out the window. Walk around the north lake and
youll see what I mean.
Yes, I was just reading the Garnett
paper and I wanted people in Garnett
to know: That is real scary. Every
house in the town must be for sale,
anywhere from $3,000 on up. Maybe
we should stop and think something
is terribly wrong in this town, or
youre going to be left with all houses
and no people. Its scary to see that
after all these years.
Why are people speeding through
town on Maple Street? We have posted
speed limit signs. Why are the police
allowing this?
A lot of us local citizens like to see
the police doing their job. Why should
out of town visitors or travelers going
through our town be allowed to break
our speed limits and endanger our citizens? Thanks to the police for doing
their job.

Kansas net farm income dipped in 2012 but
crop insurance, prices provided support
MANHATTAN Judicious use
of risk management tools and
other key management decisions saved the day for many
Kansas farmers last year even
as the state endured its worst
drought in decades, according
to Kansas Farm Management
Association program director,
Kevin Herbel.
Without a doubt, the farm
income picture would look
very different without crop
insurance, said Herbel as he
described highlights of the 2012
KFMA Executive Summary
released recently, which sheds
light annually on the financial picture of KFMA member
farms.
The data, available at
Kansas Farm Management
Association, showed net farm
income across 1,290 of the
KFMA member farms last year
averaged $151,127, down from
$166,375 in 2011 but above the
five-year average of $141,288.
According to Herbel, during
2012 the average KFMA farm
had crop insurance proceeds
of $87,998, which accounts for
14 percent of the value of farm
production (VFP) and 58 percent of net farm income for the
year. In 2011, crop insurance
also was important as 45 percent of the net farm income (12
percent of VFP) was from crop
insurance proceeds.
Again in 2012, net farm
income varied widely by region,
with northwest Kansas averaging $288,176 and southwest
averaging $98,071. In the north
central part of the state, net
farm income averaged $114,357;
in south central, $160,703; northeast, $138,024 and in southeast
Kansas, $150,644.
The differences by region are
at least in part, a reflection of
the different types of farming
operations, irrigation options
and severity of the drought
itself, KFMA economists said.
The value of farm production averaged $620,109 in 2012,
up from $607,854 in 2011 and the
five-year average of $543,418.
The KFMA annual report is,
to some extent, a reflection of
Kansas agriculture statewide.
It also provides yearly comparisons and between different
types of farming operations.
The average net farm
income number at $151,127
was higher than what youd
think, given the drought, said
Gregg Ibendahl, associate professor of agricultural economics at Kansas State University.
Thanks to crop insurance, we
stayed above the five year average of about $141,000. Across
the state, although we had dry
conditions, overall net farm
income wasnt bad.
About half of the KFMA
member farms made $100,000
Anderson County
news DAILY at 8 a.m.
KOFO 1220 AM
or less and 10 percent lost
money, but about eight percent
made more than $400,000, said
Ibendahl, who is a farm management specialist with K-State
Research and Extension.
In addressing the disparity,
he noted that 20 percent of the
farms that made more than
$400,000 were in the northwest
part of the state which is also
home to some of the states
largest farms, so economies
of scale come into play somewhat.
Ibendahl noted that in any
given year, its typical to have
about 10 percent of KFMA
member farms lose money and
10 percent that break even. That
means that about 80 percent are
actually making money.
Crop farms fare best
Crop operations, both dryland and irrigated, had net
farm income that exceeded
the previous year and the fiveyear average. Net income for
dryland farming operations in
2012 averaged $166,174, up from
the previous year at $157,296
and above the five-year average of $151,417. Net income for
irrigated crop farms averaged
$323,889, down from $449,115 in
2011 but up from the five-year
average of $302,420.
If you were a cattle person, and if you werent backgrounding or finishing, you
probably did okay. If you were
backgrounding or finishing
thats the group that took it
on the chin last year, Ibendahl
said, noting that grain and feed
costs during the drought cut
deep into those operations net
income.
Those cattle operations
described as backgroundingfinishing showed an average
net income of $46,519, sharply
lower than the previous year at
$397,138 and below the five-year
average of $146,297.
Cow-calf operators did
somewhat better, Ibendahl
said. Operations listed as cowherd on the summary saw an
average net income of $98,178,
up from $60,016 in 2011 and
above the $37,859 average.
Overall differences and
return on net worth
High income farms made
quite a bit of money on the
price side by selling their product, but they also did a good
job of holding expenses down,
Ibendahl said. Conversely, the
lower 25 percent may have had
some debt issues that weighed
on their debt-to-income ratio.
He noted that overall, KFMA
members showed a return on
net worth (equity) of 5.74 percent: Thats better than any
savings account or CD right
now. Its been 7.3 and 7.67 the
prior two years, so its down,
but still good.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, June 25, 2013
Ibendahl said that overall
debt levels reflected in the summary are not too high, which
paints a pretty healthy picture
for Kansas agriculture.
Herbel added that while
total dollars of debt per farm
have increased from $368,031
to $438,155 during the past five
years, the debt-to-asset ratio for
KFMA farms has declined from
28.3 percent in 2008 to 21.5 percent in 2012. During this same
time period, the current ratio,
which measures current assets
compared to current liabilities,
has increased from 3.00 to 3.41,
indicating an improved current
financial position for KFMA
farms.
Whether a Kansas farmer
is a KFMA member or not,
they can look at the numbers
and compare them to their
own, Ibendahl added. That can
help determine areas in which
theyre doing a good job or
where they may want to focus
more effort.
We like to say that benchmarks dont give you the right
answer, but they do tend to
point you in the direction you
should go, Ibendahl said.
TOPEKA The Kansas
Attorney Generals Consumer
Protection Division recovered
more money for Kansans last
year than ever before in state
history, Attorney General
Derek Schmidt announced
today.
Schmidts office recovered
more than $49 million in consumer restitution, fees and penalties during 2012, shattering
the previous one-year record of
$17.3 million.
We have made consumer
protection one of the top priorities for our office, Schmidt
said. We have slowly built
capacity and strengthened our
enforcement work against scam
artists and others who illegally
get Kansas consumers money.
We have assembled a dedicated
team of consumer specialists
who are committed to helping
Kansans. That focus is paying
off for Kansas.
The Consumer Protection
Division is led by Deputy
Attorney General Jim Welch.
Its staff of investigators and
litigators also includes former
U.S. Attorney for Kansas Jackie
Williams. AG Schmidt is a former assistant attorney general
for consumer protection, a position he held during the administration of former Attorney
General Carla Stovall. He currently serves as the national
co-chair of the Consumer
Protection Committee of
the National Association of
Attorneys General.
Schmidt said he plans to continue strengthening his offices
consumer protection work on
behalf of Kansans. He said that
although he is pleased with the
large financial recoveries last
year, the key measure of success is whether the Consumer
Protection Division is providing
help and assistance to Kansans
who have lost money to scams,
ripoffs and illegal business
practices.
Schmidt released the 2012
information by filing the annual Consumer Protection Report
with the Kansas Legislature.
That report is available online
at
www.ag.ks.gov/2012-cpannual-report.

Nomination
process
begins for
FSA county
committees
MANHATTAN Kansas Farm
Service Agency (FSA) State
Executive Director Adrian J.
Polansky announced today that
the nomination period for local
FSA county committees begins
on Monday, June 17.
I encourage all eligible farmers and ranchers to participate
in this years county committee
elections by nominating candidates by the August 1 deadline,
said Polansky. County committees are a vital link between
the farm community and the
U.S. Department of Agriculture
and provide an opportunity to
farmers and ranchers for their
opinions and ideas to be heard.
We have been seeing an increase
in the number of nominations of
women and minority candidates
and I hope that trend continues.
To be eligible to serve on an
FSA county committee, a person
must participate or cooperate in
a program administered by FSA,
be eligible to vote in a county
committee election and reside in
the local administrative area in
which the person is a candidate.
Farmers and ranchers may
nominate themselves or others,
and organizations representing minorities and women also
may nominate candidates. To
become a candidate, an eligible
individual must sign the nomination form, FSA-669A. The form
and other information about
FSA county committee elections
are available online at www.fsa.
usda.gov/elections. Nomination
forms for the 2013 election must
be postmarked or received in
the local USDA Service Center
by close of business on Aug. 1,
2013. Elections will take place
this fall.
While FSA county committees do not approve or deny farm
ownership or operating loans,
they make decisions on disaster and conservation programs,
emergency programs, commodity price support loan programs
and other agricultural issues.
Members serve three-year
terms. Nationwide, there are
about 7,800 farmers and ranchers serving on FSA county committees. Committees consist of
three to 11 members that are
elected by eligible producers.
FSA will mail ballots to eligible voters beginning Nov. 4.
The voted ballots are due back
to the local county office either
via mail or in person by Dec. 2.
Newly elected committee members and alternates take office
on Jan. 1, 2014.

The Wrights, a duo that performs traditional southern
gospel with a fresh sound,

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, June 25, 2013
A new adventure begins in Hays
For the next several weeks,
I want to share a few notes
taken on my latest archaeological adventure. From May 31
through June 14, I attended the
2013 KATP (Kansas Archeology
Training Program) held near
Hays in Ellis County. This
included investigation of the
Billy Dixon Trading Post, also
known as Whisky Ranch.
It was a way station and supply post in the 1870s. I was a
member of the metal detecting
survey team for the entire two
weeks. Our team also conducted surveys of Mount Lookout,
Louisa Springs and Big Creek
wagon/stage stations on the
Smokey Hill and Butterfield
Trail.
I left Garnett at noon on May
31, headed for Hays. There was
a lot of water standing in the
fields across Anderson County.
Crops really looked good all the
way to Hays. It must be turtle
mating season, as I dont know
how many I saw along the way,
along the edge or crossing the
highway. Then there were
those who didnt quite make it
across (they were flatter).
My first step was at a very
nice roadside park between
by Henry Roeckers
Contact (785) 448-6244
for local archeology information.
McPherson and Salina. West
of Salina, there are wind towers by the hundreds. I was also
amazed by the number of limestone fence posts that are still
standing along the edges of the
fields.
At 4:50 p.m., I arrived at
Hays, grabbed me a bite to eat at
McDonalds and gassed up my
truck at Valeros, $3.68 per gallon. I had traveled 275.7 miles
and averaged 24.2 mpg. (Late
note: Sign near Russell, KS.
Big Quilt Store. Naturally, I
thought of Kay).
I arrived on Fort Hays
University campus at 5:40 p.m.
and drove to the camping area.
I soon found out I was the only
camper there. The port-a-potties were pushed over and the
potable water wasnt always
available. It didnt take me long
to move down to the parking
lot in front of Wiest Hall. Here
it was safe and all facilities
nearby. At 6:45 p.m., I called
Kay to tell her I had arrived

Diamond, the runaway elephant of December 1926, is shown here being led back to Garnett after its
capture near Kincaid. The animal escaped with another pacyderm from the Lucky Bill Circus headquarters at Quenemo. Old Tex was captured quickly, but Diamond went on a three-day tour of the area,
ending up in Anderson County. After its capture, the animal was brought back to Garnett and quartered
temporarily at the Bates Garage, where it was warmed and treated for frozen portions of its ears and
tail.

Anderson County Attorney
Fred Campbell says he plans to utilize a new state law that becomes
effective July 1, which allows
courts to impound the vehicles of
those convicted of DUI charges.
Cambpell said the law, which goes
into effect today but which most
prosecutors havent learned of yet
because of the lagtime in notification of newly enacted laws, will
allow judges to impound the vehicles of those convicted of DUI for
up to one year as long as they take
into consideration the impoundment would have on the persons
employment, access to medical
care or ability to attend school.

sponsors for more than 1,000 little

in a course set up in Crystal Lake,
but the group hadnt yet figure

Where to put school buses and
LibertyFest set for July 3
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Fireworks will light
up the skies around Garnett
on July 3, and organizers are
hoping the event will encourage people to open wallets and
checkbooks to keep the local
Independence Day tradition
going.
The annual LibertyFest fireworks display will go on this
year as it has in the past. But
organizers say it takes community donations to keep the event
going, year after year.
The fireworks display is supported entirely by donations; no
tax dollars are used to fund the
event. But every year, organizers have pleaded for donations
to help pay for the display.
The Garnett Area Chamber
of Commerce sponsors the
event, and GACC Director Katy
ller
2×5
Ludwig said the fireworks cost
about $2,000, more or less. So
far, this years donations are
around $500. However, the
event typically brings most
of its donations at the gate.
Volunteers stationed at Lake
Garnett ask patrons to make
voluntary donations when they
arrive.
Weve still got a ways to go,
but we are very thankful for
everyone who donated, Ludwig
said.
This years event is expected
to be very similar to past years,
Ludwig said. The gates open at
6:30 p.m. and the Community
Band will perform at 8 p.m.
Fireworks begin at dusk. No
personal fireworks allowed at
the park the night of the event.

some of the equipment at a building near Brummel Fertilizer. The

Amos Lingard, one of Franklin
Countys pioneer farmers, gives
the Ottawa Republic a sure way
of ridding the country of chinchbugs. Years ago, the chinch-bugs
became so destructive to growing
crops that farmers realized that
the only way to get rid of the bugs
was to stop raising wheat and oats
on our prairie land. For several
years none was sown, and we got
rid of the bugs. The destruction of
many fields of wheat was not our
only loss, but hundreds of acres
of corn was laid low by the bugs.
After an experience of nearly 50
years farming in Franklin County,
I am convinced that the only way
of preventing the destructive
work of the chinch-bug is to quit
sowing small grain, at least for
this and next year. Farmers in
each township should organize
for this work.

Have you accepted Gods gracious offer?
In the gospel of John, Jesus
makes this statement which
ultimately caused many of
his followers to foresake him.
Jesus had been teaching and
had fed the large crowd that
had begun to follow him. It is
at this time that his teaching
begins to take a turn. The
Jews had begun to grumble
among themselves.
Jesus
answered them. No one can
come to me unless the Father
who sent me draws him.
(John 6:44) When many of his
disciples heard it they said,
This is a hard saying who can
listen to it. (John 6:60)
By saying no one can
Jesus indicates there is a
moral inability for the sinner
to believe in Christ. Just as
the thief will not look for the
policeman the sinner will not
pursue God. On the horizontal plane of life we have the
ability to choose. We choose to
get an education or not get an

education, work or not work.
Our relationship with God on
the vertical plane is much different. In John 1:12-13 John
says, But to all who did
receive him, who believed in
his name, he gave the right to
become children of God, who
were born not of blood, not of
the will of the flesh nor of the
will of man, but of God. This
last sentence creates a problem for many people as they
feel the need to contribute to
their own salvation.
The heart is naturally hard
and will not accept Gods invitation, unless a special work of
Gods grace takes place. Jesus
repeats the statement again in
John 6:65; And he said, This
is why I told you that no one
can come to me unless it is
granted him by the Father.
The sinners moral inability to
choose Christ must be overcome by the gracious and sovereign power of the Spirit.
This is why Jesus tells
Nicodemus a ruler of the
Pharisees, a religious sect
whose purpose was to keep
the Mosaic Law in order to see
the kingdom of God, he must
be born again. We can never
bridge the gap between a Holy
God and ourselves without
the intervening work of the
Holy Spirit which will result
in the new birth. We do not
choose God. In Ephesians 1:4
we read that God chose us in
him (Jesus) before the foundation of the world.
Our mind cannot understand or see the things of God.
We have no emotion or passion for God and even though
we have permission to believe
through the universal offer of
the gospel to everyone we do
not have the ability. Such is
the desperate condition of the
sinner. Yet we do not have
to stay in this state. God has
chosen us. We are told plainly in Ephesians. We have no
choice in the matter. Either
we accept him or reject him.
Jesus said He who has ears to
hear let him hear.
Sin paralyzes our spiritual
senses. Only an act of Gods
grace enables a sinner to hear
Gods voice. Salvation can
only be obtained by accepting
this gracious offer of Gods
grace.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, June 25, 2013
Extra caution
needed on roads
during harvest
Harvest season is underway
in part of the state, and the
Kansas Highway Patrol would
like to remind motorists to use
more caution and patience when
traveling around farm trucks,
tractors, combines, and other
farm implements.
As
harvest
quickly
approaches and is underway,
each traveler in Kansas needs to
be more aware of this important
summertime event. In Kansas
we have many trucks exiting
and entering the roadways all
the time. During harvest, we
have more large equipment
and trucks on our roadways
than we typically do, and traveling around these vehicles
requires added precautions,
said Technical Trooper Casey
Simoneau, assistant public
information officer for the
Patrol. It is important for every
driver to be aware of these large
and slow moving vehicles, and
to use caution as the equipment
operators attempt to move from
field to field.
Most farm equipment is
not designed to travel at highway speeds, and may only be
designed to travel 15-25 miles
per hour. Farm equipment is
often wider than other vehicles,
and is sometimes wider than
the lane of traffic, so extra room
should be allowed when traveling near a farm implement on
the road. Extra caution should
be practiced on all roads, but
especially on the busy rural
roads with unmarked intersections.
Annually in our state, there
are crashes involving farm
vehicles, in which drivers are
injured or killed. It is important to share the road safely,
for both the sake of the farmers
out working, and for the sake
of the driving public. Here are
some safety tips to keep in mind
when sharing Kansas roads
with farmers:
Dont assume the farmer
knows youre there. Most operators of farm equipment regularly check for vehicles behind
them, however, most of their
time must be spent looking
ahead to stay on the road and
to watch for oncoming traffic.
Implements are extremely loud,
hindering the farmers ability to
hear your vehicle.
Pass with extreme caution.
Dont pass unless you can see
clearly ahead of both your vehicle and the farm equipment you
are passing. If there are curves
or hills blocking your view of
oncoming traffic, wait until you
can clearly visualize the area
youre passing in. You should
not pass in a designated No
Passing Zone, even if you are
stuck behind a farm vehicle. Do
not pass if you are within 100
feet of any intersection, railroad
grade crossing, bridge, elevated
structure, or tunnel.
Allow extra room when following farm equipment. With
slow moving vehicles, a passenger vehicle can close in on
the empty space much more
quickly. Just because a farm
vehicle pulls to the right side
of the road does not mean it is
turning right or allowing you
to pass. Due to the size of some
farm equipment, the farmer
must execute wide left turns,
so allow it plenty of room and
time to turn, and be alert to see
if there might be a driveway or
field they may be turning into.
Be patient. Dont assume
that a farmer can move aside
to let you pass. Shoulders may
be soft, wet, or steep, which can
cause the farm vehicle to tip, or
the shoulder may not support
the weight of a heavy farm vehicle. The farmer understands
you are being delayed and will
move over at the first safe location available.
Think of the slow moving
vehicle emblem as a warning
to adjust your speed. When you
see the slow moving vehicle
emblem, you should immediately slow down. While the
emblems are visible from a long
distance away, it is often difficult to judge the speed at which
you are closing in on a vehicle,
especially at night.
Pay attention. When you
are not focused solely on the
road, you increase your chances
of a collision, especially if you
should come upon a slow moving farm vehicle.
Graduation rates
rising in Kansas
Kansas students graduate at
higher rates than the national
average and most other states
in the region, according to
two recently released national
reports. The graduation rate for
both Kansas and the nation is
on the increase.
The good news about Kansas
public schools comes from two
well-respected research sources: the 2012 Digest of Education
Statistics, published by the
National Center for Education
Statistics (U.S. Department of
Education), and Diplomas
Count, published by Education
Week and the Editorial Projects
in Education Research Center.
Both report the percentage
of students graduating high
school within four years has
increased significantly over
the past decade. However, the
two studies come up with somewhat different results, with the
Digest usually several percentage points higher.
According to the Digest,
the Kansas four-year graduation rate rose from 77.1 percent
in 2000, when Kansas ranked
17th in the nation, to 83.0 percent in 2010, ranking eighth.
Diplomas Count shows the
Kansas graduation rate rising
from 73.5 percent in 2000 to 80
percent in 2010, and the state
ranking increasing from 17th to
12th.
The national graduation rate
increased by about the same
amount, with the U.S. average
in 2010 reaching about where
Kansas was in 2000 in both
reports.
Although these new reports
do not go past 2010, a study by the
U.S. Department of Education
last fall put the Kansas graduation rate at 83 percent in 2011.
That report used a new uniform
methodology for all states, but
does not provide comparable
data for previous years.
The Digest also reports
the percentage of population
aged 18-24 with a high school
diploma, based on a three year
average. For 2008-10, this report
shows Kansas with an 85.1 percent completion rate, up from
78.3 percent in 2000. However,
Kansas ranking in this area
dropped slightly, from 17th to
19th. The national average
increased from 74.7 percent to
83.1 percent.
Graduation rates in Kansas
began spiking upward after the
Legislature approved significant
funding increases following the
Montoy school finance decision
in 2005, directing more money to
at risk students who are less
likely to graduate. The national graduation rate increased
at about the same rate, but so
did education funding in other
states. In fact, between 2000
and 2011, national spending per
pupil was not only higher than
Kansas, but increased slightly
more. Kansas per pupil spending increased 50.9 percent, and
the U.S. average increased 52.8
percent.
Each of the 10 states with a
higher average of the four high
school completion rates listed
above spent more than Kansas
in 2011. The 10 states have an
average completion rate of 84.4
percent, 1.2 percent higher than
Kansas, but spent an average of
$12,779, or 35 percent more than
Kansas.
More information on this
topic can be found in the
Tallman Education Report.

Know the signs, symptoms of heat exhaustion and stroke
The first day of summer officially began Friday, June 21st,
and that means more time outside and higher temperatures.
With temperatures steadily
increasing, heat-related incidences are also on the rise. This
summer, when youre outside
in the sun, remember these
tips provided by the American
Heart Association to keep you
and your family safe!
Hydrate: drink plenty of
water before, during and after
any physical activity or prolonged time outside to avoid
dehydration. Start drinking
water before you feel thirsty to
prevent dehydration. Avoid caffeinated or alcoholic beverages
and choose water instead.
Take regular breaks: find
shade or a cool place to rest and
hydrate. Avoid being outside
between noon and 3 p.m. when
the sun is strongest.
Head indoors: as temperatures continue to rise, try
indoor activities at your local
recreation center, like basketball, swimming, yoga or racquetball.
Dress for the heat: wear
lightweight clothing made in
breathable fabrics that repel
sweat. Always make sure to
wear a hat and sunglasses outside to protect your face and
eyes from the sun.
Exercise with a friend: it
is much safer (and more fun!)
to work-out with friends, especially with increased temperatures.
maloans
2×3
Use sunscreen regularly:
make sure that you are reapplying sunscreen to prevent
sunburns, especially if you are
out in the sun for long periods
of time.
Be a good neighbor: check
on your elderly and ill neighbors regularly to make sure
that they are staying cool and
safe during the summer heat.
If youre a heart patient,
older than 60 or overweight,
you may need to take special
precautions in the heat. Consult
with your healthcare professional to prevent heat stroke or
heat exhaustion.
Heat exhaustion and heat
stroke are more common in the
summer for people of any age,
so whether youre at the pool or
playing outside with your kids,
watch for signs and symptoms
of these two heat-related illnesses.
Symptoms of heat exhaustion:
Headache
Dizziness or fainting
Heavy sweating
Cold, moist skin accompanied by chills
A weak and rapid pulse
Muscle cramps
Fast and shallow breathing
Nausea and vomiting
If you begin to experience
symptoms of heat exhaustion,
move to a cooler place and cool
down immediately by dousing
yourself with cold water and
rehydrate. You may need to
seek medical attention.
Symptoms of heat stroke:
Warm, dry skin with no
sweating
Strong and rapid pulse
Confusion
Unconsciousness
