THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA Kansas legislators last
week extended Governor Laura
Kellys Covid-19 disaster order
until September 15, but limited the
governors authority to shut down
the states businesses, schools and
other operations without legislative oversight.
Kelly signed the bill yesterday.
The bill came out of a special
session called by the governor
after her veto of a prior, more
restrictive bill in late May, when
legislators finished state business
in a marathon all-hours final work
day. Kelly has said she will sign
state authority on the issue and
remanding any restrictions to local
county and city governments. The
governor vetoed a bill compiled
by legislators in late May which,
among other things, would have
remanded that authority wholly
to cities and counties and taken
away the governors authority to
act on her own in spending more
than $1 billion in federal Covid-19
emergency funding.
The compromise bill, which
Kelly has said she will sign,
restricts her from closing businesses for more than 15 days and
leaves primary authority regardSEE BILL ON PAGE 4B
Changes coming for drivers as highway Gas line project
improvement project nears new phase not delayed by
WELDA Widening and surface work continues on U.S.
169/59, aiming toward a temporary reopening of the highway
segment in coming months as
crews shut down for the winter.
Kansas Department of
Transportation spokeswoman Priscilla Peterson told the
Review the project was on
schedule and had not been
delayed by the Covid-19 shutdown.
The contractor is beginning to widen the roadway,
with traffic to be controlled
by temporary signals from
the roundabout south to U.S.
59. The signals will be moved
from location to location along
that stretch, so expect one-lane
traffic and brief delays wherever the work is occurring,
Peterson said.
KDOT closed U.S. 169 from
Welda to the south U.S. 169/59
junction in April for the
improvement project on the
narrow, hilly section of accident-prone roadway. Traffic
signals at the roundabout
south of Garnett and near the
59/169 junction delay traffic

Work crews excavate an area on the right of way of U.S. Highway 59/169 at the project site south
of Garnett recently.
vehicles to pass on the single
open lane. Delays are usually
less than 10 minutes.
Peterson said KDOT has
no plans to close the entire
roadway between Garnett and
Welda. Traffic is running on
the state route detour using
U.S. 59 and U.S. 54.
Looking ahead, the plan is
to open U.S. 169 to unrestricted
traffic while activity on the
project is shut down over the
winter months, Peterson said.
In the spring of 2021, KDOT
will resume work on placing
asphalt surface lifts and pavement markings on U.S. 169.
Traffic will be reduced to one
lane with flaggers or signals
in various locations. Weather
permitting, the entire project
should be complete in the late
spring or early summer of 2021.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
WELDA Contractors working for Southern Star Central
Gas Pipeline say theyre
about half finished with the
intial phase of the 36-inch
gas pipeline installation project through Anderson and
Franklin counties, and are
on schedule to finish the first
phase by the end of the year.
Southern Star spokesman Tyler McClure told the
Review last week the Covid-19
emergency had not slowed the
project. Our team added procedures based on CDC recommendations, McClure said.
For example, each person
on site has their temperature
taken before they can start
work and crews are practicing
social distancing measures.
McClure said the projects
safety record thus far had
been excellent.
Nearly 300 employees and
contractors have been working on the project since earlier
this spring to install a 36-inch
gas line along a 31.5 mile corridor from Weldas gas pumping station to Ottawa. Once
installed and operational,
extraction crews will come
back to the project and spend
almost another year removing
the old 20 and 26-inch gas lines
which were installed in the
1940s and 1950s.
Southern Star says the
entire project is estimated
at $141 million. Company
officials say they expect the
job to add $5 million to the
Anderson County economy
during the project period.
Similar impacts were expected in Franklin County as well.
Those estimates project a
$45 million influx for the state
as a whole. The project overall will generate around $2.2
million in sales tax, company officials say, with a projected property tax payment
increase to the county of a
million per year due to the
improvement.
Claustrophobic people are more productive thinking outside the box.

The here and
now and not yet
The here and now and the
not yet. Two periods of time,
the one we currently live in and
the other we hold as a promise
from God. The here and now is
lived by each of us to suit our
personal preferences. That is
until something comes along
and interrupts our plans. That
could be something as small
as a flat tire to something that
changes our whole life, such as
the death of a loved one. There
is a wide span here between the
flat tire and the death of a loved
one. We all plan our lives to
some extent, some people more
than others. Some people are
more driven than others which
results in them perhaps becoming more successful. The here
and now offers, power, prestige, wealth and many more
pleasures. Problem is it also
offers sickness, poverty, pain
and death. Even a bigger problem than this is we have no
idea when any of this will happen. James the brother of our
Lord perhaps said it best in
James 4:14; Why, you dont
even know what will happen
tomorrow. What is your life?
You are a vapor that appears
for a little while and then vanishes. That sums up the here
and now.
In the not yet the Christian
lives always looking forward.
The Apostle Paul clearly gives
us a glimpse of what is ahead
when he says in Romans 8:18,
I reckon that our present suffering (the here and now) are
not worth comparing with the
glory that will be revealed in
us. By all biblical accounts
the apostle had a good grasp
of suffering. John the apostle,
in a revelation received on the
isle of Patmos from God tells
us, He (God) who was seated
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
on the throne said, I am making everything new! Through
all of history in the here and
now the most significant occurrence is that God broke in. He
sent Jesus some 2000 years ago.
This was to give us a glimpse
of the not yet. Christianity
rises or falls based on this one
fact. That Jesus was born,
lived a sinless life, was crucified, died and was buried,
resurrected and ascended into
heaven where he is seated with
the Father and is the mediator
between God and man.
In 1 John the apostle gives
us another glimpse of the not
yet when he says concerning
Jesus. Now we are children
of God, and what we will be has
not yet been made known. But
we know that when he appears,
we shall be like him, for we
shall see him as he is. And
here is a text to pillow your
head on tonight, 2 Corinthians
13:12, Now we see but a poor
reflection as in a mirror; then
we shall see face to face. Now
I know in part; then I shall
know fully, even as I am fully
known.
Ministry on the Holiness
of God.

DONOHUE
REMEMBRANCES
MEYER
STEPHENS
JUNE 7, 1943 – JUNE 1, 2020
Roberta Donohue, age 76, of
Greeley, Kansas entered into
eternal life on June 1, 2020 with
her beloved twins, Deb and Dan
by her side.
Roberta
L o u i s e
Hughes was
born on June
7, 1943, at
the Newman
Memorial
C o u n t y
Hospital in
Emporia,
Donohue
K a n s a s .
She was the
first of three children born to
Clarence LeRoy and Marjorie
(Milliken) Hughes. The family lived in Baxter Springs,
Kansas before moving to
Garnett in 1954, where LeRoy
purchased an auto supply
store. Beginning at age eleven
Roberta discovered her love of
working. She proudly worked
alongside her father, even taking on some of the bookkeeping. Roberta enjoyed her years
at Garnett High School, graduating with the Class of 1961. She
then attended Pittsburg State
University for one year before
transferring to Kansas State
University where she earned a
Bachelor of Science Degree in
Home Economics with a minor
Journalism. After graduation,
Roberta traveled nationally for
a year as an Ambassador for
her Alpha Chi Omega Sorority.
She then began a job in journalism as a reporter for the local
Garnett Publishing Company.
In the mid sixties, Roberta
first made the acquaintance
of Joe Donohue from Greeley.
Joe and Roberta were married
on October 15, 1966. The absolute greatest blessing of this
marriage was the birth of their
twins, Debra and Daniel who
were born on Easter Sunday
of 1968. Roberta was a homemaker and loving mother to
the twins. She raised a garden
each year and helped Joe in
the early years of his haying
and cattle business. Her hospitality and kindness resulted
in Roberta being considered a
"second Mom" to Deb and Dan's
friends as they spent time
gathering at their home on the
weekends.
Roberta and Joe purchased
Greeley Seed Company in 1978.
Degrees in home economics
and journalism didn't fit into
her new-found career in the
seed industry, but Roberta's
professionalism and personality made her an immediate success as manager of
the "Seed House". She turned
Greeley Seed into a thriving
business in Anderson County,
supplying seed to a large portion of Eastern Kansas. In 1994,
Roberta was elected the first
female President of the Kansas
Seed Industry Association. In
addition to the seed business,
Roberta also helped Joe maintain his trucking, ranching and
farming endeavors. Roberta
was grateful for the dedicated
employees that they had over
the years, with many of them
becoming lifelong friends.
During a most difficult time in
her life, Roberta inspired all of
us with her strength, faith and
loyalty.
Robertas spirit will live on
in the memory of all who knew
her. She was a special person
in countless lives. Her thoughtful cards to friends and family
will be missed. Robertas gift
for hospitality was also demonstrated in their company
Christmas parties, and bringing life to the Scipio Supper
Club as well as the Rosell
Ranch. Some of Roberta's most
memorable times included
annual vacations to the Lake
of the Ozarks with family and
friends. Her grandchildren
were her greatest joy. She
enjoyed playing cards with
them and countless hours at
the ball fields following Rage
Baseball and high school football. They were often spoiled by
Grandmas fried chicken, well,
pretty much all of her cooking. Holiday gatherings, family
cookouts and fireworks will be
some of the memories that her
family will cherish.
Roberta was preceded in
death by her parents, LeRoy
and Marge Hughes.
She is survived by her husband, Joe, of the home; daughter, Deb Stifter and husband
Kevin, grandsons, Dane, Joshua
and Justin Stifter of Greeley,
Kansas; son, Dan Donohue and

OPINION
Quick, before they sober up
Take notice, every local economic development chief, chamber of commerce director and
real estate salesman in rural Kansas; David
Toland stop wishing for more wind farm subsidies from your spacious Kansas Department
of Commerce office cubicle and pay attention
the mayors of Americas largest cities are about
to give you an early Christmas gift.
Theyre talking about dismantling yes,
thats right, I said DISMANTLING their police
departments in the wake of the George Floyd
killing
So, yeah, that means well, we presume
no more cops?
At least thats the plan in Minneapolis,
Minn., where city council president Lisa
Bender and her veto-proof majority of council
members are working to better serve the citizens of Minneapolis by dismantling the only
thing standing between them and total bedlam.
No, Im not kidding. Its like the script of the
next Batman movie. In the first act, the Joker
pumped city hall full of Stupid Gas and revoked
Commissioner Gordons Target Rewards Card.
Remember those pictures of the Oklahoma
land rush? Its easy to envision at the city limits
of Minneapolis hoards of cutthroats, thugs
and criminals massing at the borders with St.
Paul, South Park and Edina, ready for the last
city police paycheck to clear the bank and
likewise a hoard of law-abiding business people
and upstanding citizens ready to high tail it
south on I-35 for Burnsville and parts beyond.
It all makes perfect sense, under the influence of Stupid Gas. White cop murders a dopedup black career criminal while in police custody, and criminal thugs and political anarchists
rush in to take advantage of mass protests to
loot and burn black-owned businesses right
along with everything else they can get away
with. Their deeds and those free 50-inch TV
sets mix with plenty of outside instigation to
inspire similar criminal assaults nationwide.
Astute city leaderships response is crisp and
effective:
First, disband the police.
I mean, what else would competent civic
leadership do?
And Minneapolis isnt the only city to
embrace this genius plan. New York (of course),
Houston, Los Angeles others have taken a
whiff of the dastardly villains half-witted redolence. The secondary explosion should and will
send tens of thousands of small business people
out of those urban hellholes in search of sanity
and a new place to hang their shingle.
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
Thats where our local economic development gurus and their statewide grand poobah should have their marketing guns cocked,
locked and ready to rock. Every newspaper, TV
or radio station, Facebook Page, church bulletin and matchbook cover in those cities should
have an ad from Kansas that says something
to the effect of: Looted, burned, and now no
police protection? Bring your small business
to Beloit or Council Grove or Wakeeney or
Plainville were more decent here.
How many of those poor abused business
people wouldnt really rather live where people
wave when they drive by whether they know
you or not; where arguments are more civil;
where police are still on duty and where the
sunrises and sunsets are gorgeous?
Call that kind of opportunism inappropriate
if you want, but you cant tell me a lot of people
in those cities arent asking themselves right
now if its worth rebuilding their business just
to await the next unfettered urban assault from
a bunch of thugs. Most of these city leaders
couldnt move fast enough to shut those businesses down and make their customers stay
home during the coronavirus scare, but their
authority was nowhere to be found to combat
the criminals that beat them, shot them and
burned homes and businesses to the ground.
If this was Hollywood, Batman would have
met the looting hoards with some superior
firepower and outwitted the Joker to land him
in jail. In the meantime small towns should
make lemonade out of these lemons and like the
rest of the country pray we see the Bat Signal
soon.

I am so confused about why people arent wearing their masks. If your church is open, everyone should still have a mask on. If you go to the
grocery store the people serving you should
have a mask on. If you go out to eat, they need
to have a mask on. We need to do that especially
for us elderly to make us feel comfortable. We
need a mask to protect you, please wear one to
protect us.
Kudos to Tucker Carlson and his editorial in
last weeks paper. Please print more of his comments. Its nice to hear someone speak the truth
about the scumbags, thieves and thugs that
would destroy America. Depending on who you
are of course. If you speak the truth and offend
someone you will be both prosecuted and persecuted. However if you burn a building, steal
merchandise and throw bricks at police, youll
be regarded as a hero. Thats reality and very
sad.

Delaware churches win religious gatherings case
In a major victory for the First Amendment
rights of churches to not be unfairly discriminated against in their efforts to worship
in accordance with their religious beliefs,
Delaware will no longer impose any mandatory COVID-19 restrictions on houses of worship
beyond those that are generally applicable to
other secular entities.
The concession comes in the wake of a
First Amendment lawsuit filed by Rutherford
Institute attorneys in Rev. Dr. Christopher
Allen Bullock v. Gov. John C. Carney, which
challenges the manner in which state governments have subjected churches to more
strident COVID-19 restrictions while allowing
exceptions for big-box shopping stores, liquor
stores, and guns shops.
The latest guidance, issued by the governors office on June 2, removes all prior prohibitions and mandatory restrictions on church
gatherings, replacing them with recommendations that churches can use as they determine
how best to safely and responsibly minister to
their congregants.
Attorneys Thomas S. Neuberger, Stephen
J. Neuberger, Martin D. Haverly and Thomas
Crumplar are working with The Rutherford
Institute in defense of Rev. Bullocks First
Amendment rights.
This was never about churches attempting
to be rebellious. Rather, these are religious
institutions attempting to do what they do
best, which is to provide spiritual comfort
COMMENTARY
JOHN WHITEHEAD, THE RUTHERFORD INSTITUTE
to people who are living through difficult
times, said constitutional attorney John
W. Whitehead, president of The Rutherford
Institute and author of Battlefield America:
The War on the American People. The government shouldnt be in the business of micromanaging churches. This establishes a dangerous precedent that will come back to haunt
us. At a minimum, if bars and businesses can
be trusted to operate responsibly, churches
should be treated the same.
In March 2020, Delaware Gov. John Carney
declared a state of emergency relating to the
COVID-19 pandemic and soon after issued
additional emergency orders limiting the size
of gatherings within the state. By April 1, the
Governor had ordered that no indoor gatherings of more than 10 persons could be held.
The ban on gatherings was specifically applicable to churches and strongly encouraged
houses of worship to transition to remote
services by video or telephone. However, the
ban on gatherings contained numerous exceptions, allowing big-box shopping stores, liquor
stores, and guns shops to be open without
having to abide by a 10-person restriction.
Rev. Bullock, the pastor of Canaan Baptist
Church, who has been holding on-line services
for his 2500-member congregation, sought to
challenge what he saw as unequal and unfair
treatment of churches under the Governors
emergency restrictions, especially when compared to the less strident restrictions imposed
on big-box shopping stores, liquor stores, and
guns shops.
In the wake of the First Amendment lawsuit
filed by attorneys for The Rutherford Institute,
Delaware officials have progressively backed
off on the governors emergency restrictions
for churches. A May 18 revised order issued
limited the length of worship services to one
hour and attendance at church services to 30%
of normal capacity, and then only if persons
attending wear masks and maintain social
distancing separation of six feet. The latest
guidance rescinds any attempt to dictate to
churches, offering only recommendations as
they use their best judgment about how best
to minister to their congregants during a panSEE CHURCHES ON PAGE 3B
Yes, meet rioters with overwhelming force
Restoring order to Americas cities isnt a
complicated proposition.
All it requires is resources and determination, and a firm rejection of the longstanding progressive fallacy that an overwhelming
police presence is provocative and escalatory and must be avoided.
Out-of-control looting is almost always a
failure of municipal resolve or police tactics,
and we have seen plenty of just such cowardice and foolishness lately, most notably in
Minneapolis, ground zero for this spasm of
urban disorder.
In a display of sloppy wishful thinking at the
worst possible time, the citys leaders decided
to vacate the 3rd police precinct. Mayor Jacob
Frey explained that they believed this would
be a way to both help de-escalate and prevent
hand-to-hand combat. Instead, it allowed for
a major escalation, as protestors gleefully
torched the police building, in the worst symbol of official abdication of this crisis so far.
During the first couple of nights of violence,
Minneapolis barely managed to arrest anyone.
For his part, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota hesitated to mobilize the National Guard lest he
seem oppressive, apparently unaware that
his target audience wasnt a social justice seminar at Oberlin College, but provocateurs and
nihilists who were going to take every inch
they were given and make it a mile of broken
glass and looted goods.
President Donald Trump has been a steady
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
fount of inflammatory and crude statements
lately, but when he blasted the total lack of
leadership in Minneapolis, he wasnt wrong.
All state and municipal leaders need to know
about controlling riots is obvious from a cursory review of the history.
Consider the worst disturbance in recent
times, the L.A. riots. They began when about
two dozen cops retreated before an angry
crowd after the Rodney King verdicts, some
of them literally running away. The mob
descended on the intersection of Florence
and Normandie, and began beating Anglo and
Latino motorists, completely unmolested by
the authorities for hours. Some police reported being ordered to leave the area — and then
being ordered not to return.
The rest is history — days of violence, more
than 60 people killed and 2,000 injured, and in
excess of $1 billion in property damage. By the
end, thousands of federal troops were in the
city.
Back in 1970, in his classic book on domestic unrest, The Riotmakers, Eugene Methvin
identified police absence or pullback as the
accelerant on riots. It was a huge factor in the
Watts riots in 1965. The same dynamic held in
a Philadelphia riot the year before. In Detroit
in 1967, cops retreated and the authorities
underestimated the forces they needed as a
riot devastated the city.
It is simply not true that rioters will be
quickly sated if they are allowed to break and
burn things freely. Disorder feeds on itself.
Looting one store, overturning one police car
is never enough.
There is no alternative to imposing curfews, zealously enforcing them, arresting violators and calling out the National Guard if
theres not enough police manpower for the
job. This doesnt escalate the violence, it stops
it.
Over the weekend, Minneapolis finally got
more serious about policing itself and saw a
drastic diminishment of destruction. Anyone
who doesnt want American cities to burn
should take note.
Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.
the highway where its close to the new elementary school. But I recall our ingenius editor, Mr.
Hicks, saying if they took up the land out there
for the school we wouldnt have any economic
development. Guess you were wrong, Mr. Hicks.
If we cant have a carnival at the fair because
its too expensive and we cant have a prom or
an after prom even though we raised all this
money for it, how about the prom committee
donate all that money to the fair association so
the kids can at least have a carnival to go to this
summer at the fair? Thank you.
Anderson County Police Department is no better than the deadbeat cops on TV. The undersheriff or detective in particular beat a man
down we all know that works at (deleted) til he
was unconscious. Not cool. Sheriff Valentine
refuses to make this officer comply. Lets let
him know how we all feel. FYI, look up the
officer or the detective in Anderson County
and Google it in Miami County. Youll get quite
a surprise. Why isnt the sheriff department
people background checked? If so, why do they
hire them? Lets let Vern know how we all feel.
Signed, taxpayers of Anderson County.
White lives matter.
I keep reading about the Covid thing and the
governor and the news talking about the
unprecedented challenges being faced by our
towns and our cities because of the Covid. Well,
my belief is the challenges are not because of the
Covid the challenges are because of the government and the governments overreaction to the
Covid. Are we going to start shutting the cities
down and the businesses down and calling off
school every time we have a flu bug go around,
that somebody might get pneumonia and end up
dying from it? People die from pneumonia all
the time people, its nothing new. This has been
caused by the government and nobody else.
Okay so Im keeping track of this for all you
people who have forgot. It was Memorial Day
weekend May 23 when all those people went
down to the lake in Missouri and partied it up
and were too close togther, some said, and may
have spread coronavirus to each other. Well,
now its two weeks later and I havent heard of
all those kids dying from it, have you? Youre
supposed to be sick after two weeks and what?
Nothing. Makes you want to go hmmm.

Encouraging clients to
wear masks
Asking clients to limit the
number of people they bring to
the service center

Cont – The Skinning Tree A novel by G. Dane Hicks
cowered near the crack of
the trailers back door.
Ill shoot you! BAM!
I mean it! Go away and
leave me alone!, BAM!
Ill shoot you I swear
to God I will! BAM!
Bens voice was raspy
and frantic as he ducked
to and from the rickety back porch through
the trailers back door,
cussing and firing indiscriminately. Far in the
distance, dogs began to
bark, awakened in the
still, chilly night by the
gunshots.
A barbed wire fence
separated the lot the
trailer sat upon from
the pasture, and when
Adrian heard the trailer
door slam after the last
shot, he sprinted to the
fence, dropped to his back, and
began to inch his way underneath it using the rifle to push
up the bottom strand of wire.
Ollie did the same, some forty
yards down the fence row, rolled
across his shoulder on the other
side, and sprinted toward a utility pole that fed a power line
from an electrical transformer
to the trailer. Crouching next to
the pole, Ollies eyes searched in
the darkness up the sides of the
trailer, looking for the connection box for its telephone service.
But the darkness and the various
discoloration of the trailer and
pieces of missing siding made it
hard to see a service box. Across
the back of the lot, Ollie could
see make out Adrians outline
now taking cover beside a little
pump house that contained the
propertys water well.
Ollie, he hasnt seen us
yet. Hes just shooting blind,
Adrians voice came over Ollies
earpiece in a near whisper. They
were less than one hundred feet
apart.
Hes a live one, isnt he?
From the smell up here Id say
hes freshly stoked. Ive got a
big ether cloud up here by these
windows, Ollies eyes searched
up around the open windows of
the trailer only about fifteen feet
away from him Adrian, can you
see the phone box anywhere?
The resounding concussion
of a gun fired in his direction
suddenly buffeted Ollies skin as
the sound, different and louder
than if the barrel was pointed
even a few degrees in another
direction, hammered at his eardrums. Opaque glass from one
of the crank-out windows of the
trailer shattered and smashed to
the ground a few feet away. Ollie
stood as erect as he could and
angled himself to get the most
cover out of the utility pole the
only obstacle that stood in the
line of fire.
YI told you Id shoot you! I
see you! Bens voice was shrill
but muffled somewhat inside the
trailer.
There was a short silence,
then two more rounds. BAM!
BAM! Ollies flight response told
him to move, but there was no
cover to be found.
Ollie, are you all right?
Adrians voice came over the
earpiece again. Ollie edged his
hand down to a Velcro flap on the
side of his black utility jacket,
ripped the flap back and pulled
out his .45 caliber sidearm.
Ollie, Adrian Theres an
awful lot of shooting going on
down there. Whats up? Do you
need us over there? This time
the voice on the headset was that
of one of the men posted with the
Number Two vehicle about a half
mile away.
Number Two, stand by.
Ollies voice was level and calm.
Im okay, Adrian. Hes firing
from inside the house, just on the
other side of those windows.
Yes, I saw the flashes inside.
Im looking for a route in there.
Were way over budget on
time here, Ollie said, almost
to himself. Hold on a second.
He put his hand over the micro-

phone and pushed it a little to the
side.
Ben. My name is Ollie, his
voice was loud and direct. I
want to make a deal with you. I
want to give you some money,
and I want you to go away from
here and not come back. Thats
the deal, and Im only going to
offer it
BAM!
Another shot rang from the
trailer window, and this one
struck the utility pole behind
which Ollie still shielded himself. He straightened a bit to
make himself thinner.
Ollie, Adrian, its Number
Two, the voice came over their
headsets. Youre not going to
believe this. Hes called the cops.
The call just came over the scanner and gave this address with a
reference to shots fired. He called
the cops on himself!
Ollie sighed, his only hint of
frustration so far. Adrian, he
glanced from his narrow hiding
spot toward the well house as
another round roared from the
trailer, this time missing the
pole. Kill that SOB, please.
Adrians lean, athletic frame
spun from its hiding place and
sprinted around the front of the
trailer, passed the rusting hulk
of a motorcycle frame with no
engine, in front of the old brown
Mercury Montego that Ben
drove, and up the trailer steps.
He flung open the storm door and
smashed his shoulder full force
into the thin main door which
gave way immediately. Adrian
tumbled into the tiny living room

Chapter 6 Cont
*picking up from where left on from
June 2nd edition
Paranoia slammed into Bens
mind like a freight train. The
jar of ether and water mixture
banged off the counter top without breaking, bubbles inside still
churning, as Ben dropped it and
sped to a tiny bedroom closet to
wrestle a 9mm pistol from under
a mangle of coats and old clothes.
He ran back to the front door,
holding the gun straight down
at his side, and slowly opened
the door a crack. The driveway
outside, gently lit by a half moon
that dodged in and out behind
the nights partly cloudy skies,
was empty. Still, the dog barked.
Ben hustled to the back door,
opened it a crack, and peered
outside.
The opening door shown like
a glowing orb in the light green
optical field of Adrians night
vision rifle scope. Affixed to the
top of the little .22 caliber rifle
with its long, clumsy-looking
sound suppressor attached to the
barrel, the scope swept this way
and that across the back side of
the trailer and the yard in front
of it.
Can you see it? Ollie said.
It sounds like its coming from
the right.
There he is, Adrian said
calmly. In the green view of his
scope, a little better than a hundred yards away, Ben Daleys little brown and white Terrier-mix
mutt stood at alert, yapping his
head off, staring fiercely out into
the darkness in the direction of
the strange vehicle. Adrian stood
perfectly still, the rifle poised
over the front of the Explorers
hood for stability. A tiny wisp
of gas burped from the end of
the weapon, and in the view of
the night scope, Adrian saw the
animal leap into the air with a
yelp and then flutter about on
the ground in a swirl of dust and
dry grass and cries of pain. He
was readying for a second shot
when the first round from Bens
9mm rang-out from the direction
of the trailer. Ollie and Adrian
instinctively crouched closer to
the cover of the Explorer.
Ollie pressed his finger
against the earpiece of the wireless communication rig on his
head. Number two and number three, are you in position?
The headset crackled back the
affirmatives into Ollies ear.
Number two, be sure to monitor
those police frequencies and let
us know if any calls come over.
Hes shooting at us.
Adrian, we need to quiet him
down. Ollie said into his microphone, even though Adrian
was only a few feet away. More
rounds cracked off from the
direction of the trailer, and Ollie
and Adrian hunkered low to the
ground and scampered in opposite directions from the vehicle
toward the source of the incoming fire.
If he hadnt injected the last
remnants of his little vial an hour
ago, Ben might have thought
twice before rapping off 9mm
rounds in the middle of the night
with no idea what he was shooting at. But true to its nature,
the drug threw his body and his
now chemical-scarred mind into
hyperdrive once again, peaking
his paranoia and making the
insane seem completely logical.
Hed heard the dog yelp and realized the ensuing silence meant
intruders were near, and with
the dog now silenced, the sound
of his pounding heart was only
punctuated by the sound of the
gunshots he squeezed off as he
area, using the butt of his rifle to
regain his feet. Eyes bolting to
his right he could see Ben, holding the 9mm, turn in his direction and fire. The shot ripped
over Adrians head and tore into
the wall behind him, penetrating
the thin wall and continuing on
through a bedroom and a closet wall before finally lodging in
the hot water heater. Ben fired
again as Adrian started toward
him. This time the round sliced
through the trailers outboard
wall to Adrians left and tumbled
into the night sky, a tiny puff
of insulation following behind
it from the exit hole on the outside of the trailer and settling
to the ground like a little parachute. Adrian lowered his barrel and ripped off three nearly
silent rounds with a subdued pft,
pft, pft, each striking Ben in the
upper body. The man recoiled,
screaming obscenities and grasping at the tiny .22 caliber wounds
in his chest. Bens pistol fell to
the ground, and Adrian set his
rifle down against a chair as he
rushed for the collapsing man.
You ruined this, Adrian
whispered in Bens ear, holding
him from behind before he could
fall to the floor. This could have
been so much better if wed done
it slower. I feel like Im just using
you this way.
Bens eyes rolled back toward
the voice behind his head, but
he never clearly heard or understood the words before Adrians
forearm swept underneath his
chin, pulling upward and back
until Bens neck snapped with a
deep, bone-cracking pop. Adrian
stood in the smelly kitchen, scattered with debris and partially
processed methamphetamine,
holding the slumping corpse
upright so that its bleeding
wounds never came in contact
with anything at the scene.
By the time two Sharon
County sheriffs deputy cars
arrived at the scene and determined that the trailer was safe to
enter, Ollies team had scattered
in three directions. One vehicle followed Bens Montego as
far into Missouri as the quarter
tank of gas would take it, and
the others headed out on oddball
and hopefully untraceable routes
that ended up taking them back
to Overland Park, each to a modest home in the sprawling, ubiquitous subdivisions of Johnson
County. There they lived under
assumed professions and iden-
tities purporting to have jobs
that fit in well with the mid-level telecommunications workers,
nurses, marketing representatives and other neighbors
whom they most often only knew
by a casual glance toward an
open garage door as they passed
by on the quiet suburban street.
Ollies men were always close
to their computers and pagers
and cell phones, waiting for the
signal or the encrypted messages
from Ollie that would require
their presence at the oddest
hours, and which lately always
centered around Sharon County.
A few miles east of Adrian,
Mo., Bens rusty old Montego
pulled onto a country road and
traveled deep into the woods
until it found its way through an
open gate to a hayfield. A dark
colored Suburban followed as the
Mercury continued up into a timberline and stopped. With help
from the occupants of the suburban, the Mercurys glove compartment was swept clean, and
the front and back seats even
under the seats were checked
for any scrap of material with an
identifying mark on it. One man
used a razor blade to help scrape
the silvery decal containing the
cars serial number information
from inside its driver side door.
Bens body had been quickly
checked before it was loaded into
the truck. It wouldnt be long
until the car and its cargo were
found, but the idea was to be sure
it was as hard to trace as possible. The final step was to remove
its license tag, which along with
other effects from the car and
Bens wallet was stuffed into a
weighted bag made of nylon netting, destined for a pond or lake
somewhere south of here away
from the direction of home.
What the heck is this?
McKane leaned on the antique
oak counter in the front office of
the Sentinel, thumbing through
the pages of several photocopies
stapled together. It was seven
fifty-eight on Tuesday morning,
and his eyes still felt tight from
the sleep he had missed last
night, unaffected by the steaming mug of coffee which sat on
the counter in front of him. Hed
expected to get an e-mail from
Susan last night, and hed spent
from nine oclock until about
three in the morning trying to
decide if he should call her or
not, and dialing in again and
again to check his e-mail, know-
ing each time it would be there.
Hed finally opted against calling
her, and even that decision had
cost him another hour tossing in
bed.
That was in the mail slot this
morning had your name across
the top. I thought you might be
expecting it, Sandy said. Coins
clinked as she counted them into
the tray of the cash register with
long, quick moving fingers.
You dont know who left it?
McKanes eyes were widening
now, and the document was pulling his attention away from the
tough night hed spent.
Huh-uh. Why? Whats the big
deal? Sandy stopped counting
and slowly moved toward him
look at the pages.
Somebody just took it upon
themselves to drop us off the
medical examiners report on
that girls murder. He looked up
at the clock. And just in time to
get a story by deadline.
Gosh. Really? What does it
say?
There was a rustle of clothing
behind them, and Ethel Crabb
rounded the corner from the
backshop hallway into the front
office, her great pink pantsuit
glowing in the somber morning
as she drew hard on a filtered
cigarette clenched between two
thick fingers topped by gold fingernail polish. Morning. A
two-part chorus returned the
greeting. Ethel strode passed the
two of them to the front door,
swung the door open, hesitated
for a final draw, and flipped the
half-smoked cigarette into the
street. Whats that?
Nothing, McKane said nonchalantly. Just a confidential
document from a murder investigation.
Huh? Ethel growled inquisitively, stepping to Sandys flank
for a look. The three of them clustered around the pages. There
was a short silence.
Omigod. So she really was
raped, Sandy said, her voice soft
and intense as she concentrated
on the words in front of her.
Why would you strangle somebody and break their neck too?
That doesnt seem to make much
sense.
You dont know in what
order it all happened, McKane
said, glancing for just a bit too
long at Sandys young, fresh

SKINNING…
on the photo was dim but it was
still a fairly good shot considering Casey had photographed it at
night under a desk lamp with a
small digital camera.
He was an odd sight with
his weird haircut and his nose
piercing compared to the conservative coifs, blue jackets,
white shirts and gray slacks that
sat around the table with him.
The hip new favorite employee
of Cheesy Tonys one of Kansas
Citys favorite downtown eateries knew a heck of a lot more
about the business than most
waiters.
In these columns youve got
your standard entries for sales,
and then over here in the margin
every now and then youve got
a number with a circle around
it, Casey traced a faintly circled
number with the laser pointer.
Thats the income were interested in. Now, notice down here
at the bottom of the week. That
number just magically gets
absorbed into the weekly total.
Don Trent rocked back in a
swiveling chair in the conference room of the Kansas City
FBI field office. Hed seen part of
the presentation before and had
been there when most of the data
was gathered, but it was brand
new to two of their superiors
here. They were seeing it for
the first time, and that made it
important to listen close in case
any of them had questions. The
kid was doing pretty well in front
of so much brass at one table.
Now, we go over here to
expenses, Casey pushed a button on the little laptop computer,
and a new picture jumped onto
the screen in front of the conference table, and you can see
again that everything looks pretty regular until we get to the
laser pointer appeared again,
right here. Look at his payment
to Mite-E-Kleen. They sell a sanitizer we use on the kitchen equipment, on the floor, the dishes and
stuff its general purpose, you
know, cuts grease and stuff and
other stuff like paper towels.
Caseys head bobbed around to
the other officers, who nodded
their understanding even though
none of them had ever worked in
a restaurant. Now, we did not
use $15,000 worth of that stuff
in two weeks, its pretty obvious we dont hold that kind of
inventory and frankly, behind
the dining room doors the place
isnt that clean, he shook his
head a little. But over here,
we find the $15,000 expense on
the ledger, and he flipped to
another screen, heres the check
stub. Made out to Mite-E-Kleen,
of course. He leaned back in
his chair. The thing youve got
to understand is, Ricky doesnt
even try that hard. I mean, if he
had any inkling on earth that he
could actually get caught, anybody would have tried harder to
cover this up better than he has.
Theres this ego. Its really amazing.
Palerri slid forward in his
chair a little and glanced around
the table. He liked to hear himself speak, especially when it was
as a DEA agent in charge of a
joint operation with the Bureau.
There was something about the
Caseys haircut and the nose
piercing that made him uncomfortable. And as the Bureau

morning makeup and dark burgundy lipstick. Some serial killers set it up as a ritual you
know, maybe he strangles her to
subdue her and rapes her after
shes dead, then breaks her neck
when its over. Maybe the sex is
consensual maybe he seduced
her with drugs or money and
then killed her after the sex was
over. An ounce of worry crept
over Sandys face as she unconsciously pulled at the collar of
her purple turtleneck with one
finger.
Ethel read from the narrative: Listen to this: six leaves
of fresh organic material identified as petals from a rose flower found inside the main oral
cavity. No evidence of particles
in the molars; conclusion: the
organics were placed into the
victims mouth post-mortem.
Thats what I heard that she
had rose petals in her mouth.
This means they killed her first
and then stuck them in there,
right?
Yeah. And thats a signal,
McKane said, still reading. But
theres another signal, he said,
dropping the papers to his side
and staring at Ethel. Why would
somebody want us to have this?
What do you mean?
Sandy found this stuck
through the mail slot this morning, McKane rattled the papers
a little.
So?
So its not public record its
not like Todd Bookman just had
some kind of change of heart
from blowing me off yesterday
and decided we should have a
copy of a report from an investigation thats still underway.
Ethel looked puzzled, and
stared at the report.
Somebodys trying to screw
somebody, McKane said.
Either they want to screw us, or
theyre trying to use us to screw
somebody else.
You think its fake? Ethel
stared first at the document, then
at McKane. The phone rang, and
Sandy hustled to her desk to pick
it up. In the background, her conversation was familiar and low.
Either fake or stolen, he
said, glancing down at the papers
again. There was short pause as
he leaned on the counter and
rubbed his chin. Im going to
call this Dr. Clark Gross and ask
him a few questions. If this is a
bogus report, he and I both ought
to know.
Mac, Sandy interrupted,
holding the phone toward him.
Mac, its Wendell. He went by
the sheriffs office on his way in
to check overnights, and they say
theres some guy missing.
See, thats the biggest advantage for us, special agent Lonnie
Casey leaned forward in his
chair next to the PowerPoint and
looked around the table at the
other agents. A tiny red dot from
his laser pointer moved back and
forth over a displayed photo of a
faded and battered green ledger
book and an open page projected
on a movie screen. Ricky doesnt
keep any of the business financial records on computer. Says
his dad would never allow it. So,
look at this Casey moved the
laser pointer over the margin on
one of the ledger pages. The light

knows, Mite-E-Kleen is owned
through subsidiaries by none
other than Carter Chemtech.
One other thing, Casey shot
a quick glance to Palerri, our
other team has photographed
this man, he punched in a new
screen, always the same guy,
delivering this canvas duffel bag
to the back door full, the photo
switched again, and then taking
it away empty. Weve identified
him as Oliver Nelton Ive heard
Ricky refer to him as Ollie, but
thats probably not his real name
because neither he nor his social
security number nor his income
tax records seem to exist before
he came to work for Mite-E-Kleen
two years ago. Heads nodded
around the table. Hes a shadow, and hes obviously someone
they trust to handle money but
somebody they feel is expendable
enough to send. Interestingly
enough, by tracking his van,
weve identified what we think
are six other establishments on
his route, each getting a duffel
bag on the average of at least
once every two weeks. They
seem to disperse cash on a fairly
regular schedule. Im estimating that half of Cheesy Tonys
gross revenues on the books are
laundered from the Mite-E-Kleen
deliveries, and were just now
starting to check on the others.
There was a short silence
around the table. Palerri broke
in.
Gentlemen before we take
your questions, I just want to give
agent Casey a round of applause
for some excellent work. The
other agents affirmed, and Casey
nodded. Ollies face loomed large
on the screen in front of them.
You can look around outside,
but I dont want you inside until
we get his meth rig out of there,
Bookman tilted his sunglasses
a bit at McKane and Wendell.
Its not something you want to
be around any more than you
have to. Behind him, two other
deputies could be heard in the
trailer. In the driveway, the
county emergency preparedness
director had parked his suburban next to the patrol cars, and
was pulling out a black case with
yellow letters stenciled on the
front that spelled out HAZMAT.
Okay, McKane nodded. So
what happened exactly?
We got a call from this guy
early this morning, said he had
intruders on his property and
he was taking the law into his
own hands. Neighbors say they
heard some shots, and theres
9 mm casings all over the back
door landing up there. He also
shot a couple holes in the trailer
up here from the inside out,
Bookman pointed to an extruding hole high up on the side of
the trailer. We got here and he
was gone. He was in the middle
of a batch of crank, how much
hed smoked or shot up already
I dont know. McKane nodded,
and cupped his camera to his
eye to snap a photo of the bullet
hole. Wendell took notes on a little spiral notebook. Sometimes
these guys get really paranoid,
Bookman said. They get so
cranked up they think theres
people coming to getem sometimes aliens, sometimes animals.
Sonofabitch shot his own damn
dog its laying over there,
McKane and Wendell turned to
see the flattened corpse of the
animal. Thats the only thing
we can see any signs of that he
might have been shooting at.
Bookman took his hat off and
rubbed his head, perplexed for a
moment at how odd all the facts
seemed. Then he jumps in his
car before we roll in and gets the
heck out of Dodge.
His sallow face showed
Bookman was just as uncomfortable as he was every time
McKane had to talk to him as
reporter/source, and McKane
couldnt help wondering as he
looked at the undersheriff just
how much he knew about the
magically appearing medical
examiners report. He covered
the suspicion, nodding along
with the undersheriffs explanation. Soon Bookman went back
to the trailer, and McKane and
Wendell moved the other side of
the well house and found themselves staring at the dead dog.

June 1920 – Man claims city of
Garnett on lockdown due to flu
June 2010
A piece of Garnett history
was carefully removed recently from one of the towns
oldest church buildings,
destined to be displayed at
the county historical society
museum. But like all mementos of bygone times, the bell
at the Garnett Presbyterian
Church had its own story to
tell. Tolling the bell used to
be a practice for deaths, said
former church pastor George
Pasley. Instead of swinging
the bell to make it ring, there
was an extra, smaller clapper
that could be swung against
the bell for a different sound.
The bell marked other important events as well. It tolled
on the Sunday after the
September 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks and then again on the
first anniversary.
June 2000
A local man plans to offer
a full line of local computer
service with the opening of
a storefront last month for
his home-based computer
business. Richard Parks, of
Garnett, opened a downtown
storefront last month for Ace
Computers, a business he
established in his home in
1995. The business will provide service and sales of computers and equipment, web
page design, copy and fax services, and home and business
networking.
June 1990
An abandoned house at
the corner of 13th Street and
Walnut, an eyesore which
had plagued the Garnett City
Commission for some time,
has finally been demolished.

remove vacant and dangerous structures, the house was
recently removed. According
to Garnett City Manager, Rick
Doran, the city was given a
gift of one-quarter interest in
the property. Once the part
ownership was established,
the city set about removing
the structure.
is tied up tight, and that,
on account of the flu, people
are not allowed to enter or
leave the city. He said he was
approaching Garnett that
day, and was met out of town
and told that he could not go
any further. Just why anyone
should start such a report is
strange. It is true that Garnett
has a number of cases of the
flu, but not as many as other
towns in the state. The ban
was put on public meetings
and the schools were stopped
temporarily and everything
possible has been done to
check the disease. As a result,
it has been kept down to a
considerable degree. Peopole
have been going and coming
all the time, and no effort has
been made to prevent them.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 6-9-2020 / SUBMITTED
Circa 1990 – The children of the neighborhood near the intersection of First Street and Lincoln
Avenue get some free swimming. A sudden storm dumped over an inch of water on Garnett Friday
morning creating this natural swimming pool in the vacant lot just west of the intersection.
June 1980
June 8 will be the last
Church service at the
United Methodist Church in
Westphalia for at least a year,
members report. The Rev.
Harley White, of Fontana,
has been pastor since 1978 of
the church and has decided
that the distance is too great
for him to travel. The Church
Conference has no pastor
available for the church
which now has 23 members,
and it will remain closed for
one year. At that time, the
church will be closed permanently or else reopened
depending upon the wishes
of the members and the availability of a pastor.

name we did not learn)

Another afternoon spent at
my new archaeological site and
as you can see several more artifacts were found along the old
sidewalk.
Top row: Old mower sickle
bar blade, Junior TWA Hostess
Badge (given to young girls who
flew), harness ring.
Middle row: Valve stem, small
ID bracelet (Initials on it-TGG),
Gold Award- Horseback Rider
( Definitely not made of Gold),
lead gun, strip of copper with
Native American symbols on it.
Bottom row: Wing nut, watch

It is amazing to me,how so
many things have been lost
along a short section of old sidewalk over the years.

As sad as it makes us, there
are no in person programs

Sidewalk service will be continued for those that are not

We have participated in
a number of online meet-
ings with other libraries and
library officials, not only from
Kansas but from across the
United States, to find the best
ways to safely offer library services, Sobba said. We, like
many other libraries, will be
going through several stages
during reopening, adding more
services when they are deemed
safe.
Sobba said libraries have
unique challenges to overcome
during reopening. Unlike most
retail business, she said, they
not only have items going out
but also items coming back in.
We have been advised that
these items should be quarantined for at least 72 hours.
We know these circumstances
arent ideal but we are committed to giving you the best
and safest service we can in a
challenging situation.
Further updates on the
librarys reopening plans will
be posted on the library front

become available. Call (785448-3388) with any questions.
BILL…
FROM PAGE 1
ing health practices and
restrictions with counties..
Legislators conceded ground
on her authority to spend the
federal CARES Act funds by
agreeing to oversight from the
State Finance Council, which
she chairs, instead of the
legislator-staffed Legislative
Coordinating Council. It also
places restrictions on methods of contact tracing documenting who someone who
tests positive for the virus
would have come in contact
with over its known incubation period.
Kelly would be able to close
Kansas schools, but only with
the okay of the Kansas Board of
Education.
Although the bill sharply
curtails the authority Kelly
used early in the emergency,
she praised it as an example of
bi-partisan cooperation.
Todays bipartisan passage
of the COVID-19 response bill
is a victory for Kansans, Kelly
said last week. While there
are parts of this legislation that
I oppose, HB 2016 provides the
tools and resources for Kansas
families, communities, and
businesses to begin the path to
economic recovery.

footsteps.
Dallas has a huge heart,

he wants. He knows he has to

Ballot measures – numerous ways to
cast your vote come election time
Greg Doering, Kansas Farm
Bureau
It doesnt feel like an election year with all thats gone
on in the world these past few
months, but in Kansas, primary elections loom in August
followed by Novembers general contest.
Over the years Ive voted
on Election Day, done in-person advance voting and utilized the mail-in option. Of
the three, Ive found in-person advance to be the fastest
and most convenient. Election
Day is still my preference,
probably because of tradition.
All three have positives and
negatives, depending on ones
point of view.
There are passionate people who will say anything
other than casting a ballot on
Election Day is un-American.
Others will say its absurd to
hold an election in the middle of the week. For Kansans,
none of the arguments really matter because the system
allows ample opportunity and
access to the ballot box.
Like everything else voting
will be different in 2020. Polls
will still open and operate on
the first Tuesday in August
and November, but its likely
a record number of Kansans
will cast their ballots early
and through the mail. I cant
tell you how to vote, but I
would urge everyone to be
aware of the potential disruptions to traditional voting procedures.
My home county is currently looking for 80 workers
to staff polling places for the
primary and general elections. Ill be among those new
hires for the primary, receiving a full two hours of training before working a polling
location for 12-plus hours. If
theres a slow line in Riley
County, theres a good chance
Im the reason.
If time and your health
arent concerns, theres no
indication you cant still vote
in person at the traditional
time. But if they are, Kansas
law makes it easy and convenient to cast a ballot early
either in person or by mail.
If you want to vote in person
but skip the lines on Election
Day, counties offer the opportunity to do so, usually at the
courthouse or clerks office,
starting the Tuesday before
Election Day or 20 days before
the election.
Check with either your
clerks office or county election commissioner to see
what days and times in-person
advance voting is available. If

youre not registered, those
same officials can help you
with that as well.
To vote by mail, you need
to request an advance ballot
application from your county
election officer. Some counties have already mailed
applications to all registered
voters. If you submit an application, a ballot will be mailed
to you starting 20 days before
the election.
Completed ballots can be
mailed back, so long as theyre
post-marked on or before
Election Day and received no
later than three days after
the election. Voters can also
return their advance ballot
to the county election office
or any polling place in their
county by the close of polls on
Election Day.
Key dates for the primary are July 14, the last day
to register; July 15, the day
advance ballots will be mailed
and in-person voting may
begin; July 28, deadline to
apply for an advance mail ballot, Aug. 3 at noon, in-person
advance voting ends; and Aug.
4, Election Day.
Those dates for the general
are Oct. 13, last day to register; Oct. 14, the day advance
ballots will be mailed and
in-person voting may begin;
Oct. 27, deadline to apply for
an advance mail ballot; Nov.
2 at noon, in-person advance
voting ends; Nov. 3, Election
Day.
I should note Im against
voting for votings sake. Our
system of self-governance
relies on an informed electorate choosing its leaders.
Hopefully, you will be part of
that electorate this fall, either
in person or by mail.
