Shooting death
investigated;
likely suicide
Elderly man found in
pickup Sunday with
fatal gunshot wound
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Local law enforcement are investigating a fatal
shooting that likely was a suicide Sunday afternoon, Feb. 28.
Anderson County Sheriff
Vern Valentine said the incident appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot, but an official
determination of suicide was
not made by The Reviews
presstime Monday afternoon.

of Garnett Sunday afternoon,
Feb. 28, Valentine said. A handgun was found in his lap, he
said. The man was discovered
by someone riding a horse
through the area at about 1 p.m.
Sunday. That person called a
family member for assistance,
and that person contacted the
sheriffs department.
Although it appears the incident most likely was a suicide,
authorities were continuing to
investigate all possibilities as
of Monday morning. The body

Out-of-county inmate
income now eligible to
help pay bonds early
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Anderson County
leaders are looking at a plan
that could save about $1 million to refinance and pay off
some of the county jail bonds,
but it requires reconvening the
Public Building Commission
– a group that hasnt met in
years, and whose chairman
died last year.
Anderson
County
Commissioners recently heard
a proposal from financial advisors that some of the bonds for
the Anderson County jail can
be paid off early using income
from housing out-of-county
prisoners. The remainder of the
balance could be refinanced,
taking advantage of currently
low interest rates. The matter
still is being researched, but
early estimates indicate the
county could save about $1
million or more, Commission

Veterans wanted to
gather with those who
had similar experience
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – When servicemen and women came home to
Garnett and Anderson County
after World War II, they found
within them a yearning to
meet with others who had been
through the same kinds of
experiences.
It was that desire that led
to formation of the Garnett
Veterans of Foreign Wars Post,
which celebrates its 70th anniversary with a special event
Sunday, March 6.
Back then, everybody
was proud the war was over
and proud we had won, Bud
Fraker, one of the groups charter members, recalled.
At the time, WWII veterans could join the American
Legion, a group for all service men and women that was
formed after World War I. But
the returning WWII veterans
shared unique experiences of
serving overseas in foreign
lands, and they wanted to be
able to gather with others like
them. And they wanted to be
able to help others like them.
There were a lot of VFWs
springing up all over after
World War II, Fraker said. It
was a gathering place, where
you could go and play cards,
take a drink, whatever you
wanted to do.
In
Anderson
County,
then-county
clerk
Paul
Thornbrugh used his connections through a VFW group
from Topeka to help organize
the first VFW in Garnett.
Thornbrugh served as the
Posts first commander.
Like Fraker, Thornbrugh
said the amount of pride and
patriotism that veterans and
the community had after WWII
drove the effort to organize a
post.
That pride was on display
again and again at community

Rail trail needs work in city limits
At 20, trail and depot
show signs of wear,
need multiple repairs

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – At only 20, the
Prairie Spirit Rail Trail already
is showing its age.
As trail supporters prepare
to celebrate the trails 20th
birthday, theyre pressing city
leaders to help spruce up problem areas on the trail inside
the city limits. That includes
cracks in the pavement where
the trail runs through the city,
improvements to the Santa Fe
Depot and refurbishing an
eyesore on the backside of
the Garnett Stadium at Lake
Garnett Park.
Ruth Theis and Bill Ratliff
with the Friends of the Prairie
Spirit Rail Trail approached
the Garnett City Commission
during their regular meeting
Tuesday, Feb. 23, to talk about
the problems with the trail.
Theis said the group does a
lot to spruce up the trail, from
hanging scarecrows in the fall
to various events and beautification projects to helping pay
for a security system at the
depot. But the depot needs a
significant amount of repairs,
and the group doesnt have the
resources to take care of the
problems.
For example, she said, the
exterior trim needs repainted and windows need to be
reglazed. The interior also
needs a facelift. Wads of toilet
paper are stuck to the ceiling of
the womens restroom.
She also asked city leaders to
do something about the back of
the stadium, a building underneath the rock stadium which
is used by the Garnett Parks &
Recreation Department and by
the Garnett Fire Department
for training.
The structure is an eyesore, she said, and its the first
structure visitors see as they
come into Garnett on the trail
from the north. She asked if
the city could paint it, and hide
trash barrels stored in the area
during the winter months.
Garnett City Manager Joyce
Martin said the city has neglected repairs to the depot and back
of the stadium, as those items
were bumped to the bottom
of the priority list in favor of
other city spending. She recently began seeking estimates for

REWARD
The Anderson County Sheriff s Office is offering up to a
$500 cash reward for information resulting in the arrest and
conviction of the person or persons responsible for the recent
fires that have been set without the permission of the property
owners, (Arson) within Anderson County. Intentionally setting
fires to ditches, fields, grass, brush or any other type of
property without the property owners permission is an act of
Arson which constitutes a felony and may result in court fines,
restitution amounting to thousands of dollars and possibly
prison time. I will ask the courts that the person(s)
committing the act of Arson be prosecuted to the fullest
extent of the law. These fires are costing taxpayers thousands
of dollars, not to mention placing first responders, equipment
and homes in harms way.
Fair warning to those who do burn on their own
property – Anderson County has a resolution/law
(2002.0506:1) that requires everyone to call the Anderson
County Dispatch Center 785-448-6823 and receive a burn
permit prior to burning. There is no charge for the permit. If
you should fail to do this, you may be issued a citation and
be responsible for any cost involved in putting the fire out, to
include wages, equipment usage and fuel and fined up to
$2,500.00 or one year in jail. All purposed burning, such as
but not limited to, Grass, Brush, Ditches, Pastures and Ravines
shall require a burn permit except for the following. 1. Open
burning for cooking or ceremonial purposes on public and/or
private land regularly used for recreational purposes. 2. Open
burning carried out on a residential premises containing 5 or
less dwelling units and incidental to the normal habitation of
the dwelling units. 3. Open Burning approved by the Anderson
County Fire Department for training purposes or other open

JAIL…
FROM PAGE 1A
Chairman Jerry Howarter
said.
The Anderson County Law
Enforcement Center opened in
2009 after a controversial process that required appointing
a Public Building Commission
(PBC) to force through the construction of the project after a
previous bond issue failed with
county voters. Once appointed,
a Public Building Commission
essentially has sole authority
to order construction of public
buildings and exists in perpetuity.
Because the jail was built
under direction of the PBC,
that commission officially owns the jail. The county
leases the building from the
PBC. Any changes to the financial arrangement have to be
approved by the PBC.
The commission hasnt met
in years, and chairman Richard
Brummel died in February
2015. In order to refinance the
bonds, assuming the matter
continues toward that end, the
PBC will need to meet and pur-
sue the refinance. Anderson
County Clerk Phyllis Gettler
said she mentioned the issue
in passing to one of the members recently. But its likely the
group wont officially be called
to meet until more details are
available and the proposal to
refinance is more complete.
Mike Rockers, one of the
members of the PBC, said he
hadnt heard about the plans
until contacted by The Review
last week. But if some of the
bonds could be paid off early
and the rest refinanced to save
even more money, Rockers
said he likely would be in favor
of such action.
Construction of the jail
was financed by $5.5 million
in bonds funded by property
and sales taxes to be paid until
August 2028. The plan was to
use jail revenues to supplement
bond payments, but PBC members were careful never to discuss possible revenues because
they couldnt be counted on to
definitely offset the required
tax funds.
Such agreements typically
VFW…
require the borrower to make
payments for a specific number of years before the bonds
are eligible to be paid off or
refinanced. The county so far
has used only the half-cent
sales tax to make the bond payments, setting aside 60 percent
of income from housing outof-county prisoners in a special reserve fund, Gettler said.
The amount of bond payments
varies from year to year, but
last year the county paid about
$438,000 toward the bonds,
including premium and interest.
This is the first year those
bonds are eligible to be paid
early. The out-of-county
inmate reserve fund now has
about $500,000, which can be
accessed to supplement the
bonds, Gettler said. Whatever
is left after that payment could
be refinanced, further saving
the county money based on
reduced interest.
Last year, the jail earned
$230,949.33 from housing outof-county inmates, and at least
the two previous years were
similar, with $204,459 in 2014
and $239,185 in 2013. Forty percent of that amount goes to
inmate care, like jail staff salaries, food and utilities. The
rest goes into the reserve fund
to help pay costs of construction and reduce the amount of
money required from the sales
tax. The jails operation is still
subsidized by property taxes
and has never earned an operating surplus.
Its doing well, Howarter
said of the jails ability to raise
money by taking in outside
inmates. Its not going to pay
for itself, but were able to keep
money back every year toward
paying off the bonds.
The commission is waiting
for more information from
financial advisors before they
take the next steps, which eventually could include calling
together the PBC and signing
off on the plans to pay off some
of the bonds and refinance the
remainder. Howarter was not
sure how long that process
could take.

parades, with VFW members
marching proudly along the
parade route.
And because the veterans
were able to organize as a
VFW post, they also were able
to direct that pride and patriotism toward helping others,
Thornbrugh said.
If a veteran needed help, the
Post and its members would
find a way to see that he got
the help he needed, such as
medical care at the Veterans
Administration hospital or
other types of services. The
Post provided a rifle salute
team during funerals for veterans.
Thornbrugh recalled one
local veteran who had married
a woman during his service in
Europe, but was having a difficult time bringing his bride
home to the U.S. The VFW
members helped him find the
right resources to bring her
home to her new husband,
Thornbrugh said.
If any members needed
help, they were helped and not
forgotten, Fraker said.
The first VFW post met in
an upstairs room over the draft
office on Fourth Avenue in
Garnett, Fraker, now 91, and
Thornbrugh, now 94, recalled.
The Post moved to a location
above what was then Graves
Drug Store downtown before
building the current Post in the
1950s in Crystal Lake Park.
Much of the money used to
build the new Post came from
having concession stands
during the Lake Garnett Grand
Prix races in the 1950s, Fraker
said. The VFWs bar was a popular gathering spot after the
races. The car races provided a
great source of income for civic
groups throughout the area,
and helped the Post accomplish
many of its goals.
Another charter member,
Jack Serene, said he doesnt
remember much about the early
days of the Post. However, he
said there seemed to be a great
deal of interest in the group for
many years. The three charter
members estimated the group
started with between 20 and 30
members and grew to as many
as 400 in its heyday.
Like many civic organizations, though, participation has
waned in modern times.
Were lucky that were still
active, Fraker said. So many
towns this size the VFW has
folded up.
Fraker remained active in
the Post through his 80s. He
and Serene still live in Garnett.
Thornbrugh now lives in Tulsa,
Okla., but said he still keeps in
touch with Fraker and others
in the local community.
The Garnett Veterans of
Foreign Wars Post No. 6397
was renamed The Sgt. Jeffery
S. Mersman Memorial Post
No. 6397 in July 2015. Mersman
was killed in 2007 when his
six-member troop detachment
was ambushed in Afghanistan.
The name change honored the
first military combat death
from Anderson County in three
decades.
A 70th birthday party for
the Post is planned for Sunday,
March 6, with a meal at 1
p.m. Brigadier General Jay
Selanders is expected to speak
and a ceremony is planned to
hang the Posts new charter.

repairs to the depot, because
the work needed is outside the
scope of the abilities of current
staff. Staff members have started work at the back of the stadium, but may discover it also
needs more repairs than the
city can handle at this time. For
example, it appears the structure might need a new roof.
The more we rip off the
back of the stadium, the more
we get into, she said.
The trash barrels can be
moved inside the building,
although that could make it
more difficult for residents to
access the barrels when they
are needed for large events like
family reunions. In such cases,
organizers of those events will
need to seek help from city
staff, she said.
Ratliff brought up cracks in
the pavement, which can create
huge problems for bike riders.
The cracks can lead to flat tires,
he said. He said material used
for repairs near the depot were
more effective than the cold
patch material used elsewhere
along the trail.
Martin said she would look
into the different types of material, and see what could be done
to fix the problem areas.
The first phase of the
51-mile Prairie Spirit Trail
– from Richmond to Welda opened March 30, 1996. The
second phase, from Richmond
to Ottawa, opened in 1998 and
the last phase, from Welda to
Iola, was completed in 2008.
An extension from Iola to
Humboldt called the Southwind
Trail was completed in 2013.
The trail is managed by the
Kansas Department of Wildlife
and Parks.
The Friends of the Prairie
Spirit trail will have a 20th
anniversary birthday bash
on Wednesday, March 16th
at the Anderson County High
School in the Commons Area.
The evening will begin with
a silent auction at 6 p.m.,
followed by a buffet meal at
6:30 p.m. Guest speakers will
give presentations on the
history of the 51-mile hiking
and biking trail, along with
updates on trail projects and
upcoming Friends activities.
Representatives from communities along the trail and the
Kansas Department of Wildlife,
Parks and Tourism have also
been invited.
Tickets for the event are
$10 each and can be purchased
from various Friends members, also at Garnett City Hall
or at the door that evening.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, March 1, 2016
LOCAL
One feather in Sanders cap
This may come as a surprise in more
than a few quarters, but we have finally
found something we can agree on with the
esteemed senator from Vermont, Bernie
Sanders, the self-proclaimed socialist candidate for the Democratic nomination.
He has promised to break up the big
banks and financial institutions which
today dominate Wall Street, and we say,
that would be a good start on an antitrust
policy.
But only a start.
It would be easy to argue that the U.S.
has not had an antitrust policy since the
breakup of the Bell System in 1984. That
action began with a Justice Department
filing in 1974 under Presidents Nixon and
Ford and was consummated from 1982 to
1984 under Ronald Reagans administration.
Since that time, one of the Baby Bells
launched by the split, Southwestern Bell,
or SBC, has gobbled up two of its siblings and poor ol Ma herself, AT&T. By
then, Ma had fallen on hard times, having
picked the wrong end of the business to
keep (long distance and hardware) and let
go of pretty much all that made money.
So today, we have a new giant AT&T
which would make a good case study on
why a corporation should not be allowed
to grow so large and dysfunctional.
A no discernible antitrust policy.
The Justice Department, which once
challenged mergers left and right, now
routinely encourages them. Corporations
in all fields, from banking to airlines and
railroads to manufacturing, grow bigger
by merger and acquisition until they are
too big to fail, which is to say, so large
and unwieldy that their demise might
threaten the whole economy.
Less than a decade ago, when bank after
bank, investment house after investment
house, found itself failing, the government and the Federal Reserve feared the
consequences of allowing this to happen.
The solution?
Why, have the more solvent banks buy
up the failed ones, then stuff them with
federal money to keep them going. In the
end, we wound up with banks even more
truly too big to fail without threatening
GUEST COMMENTARY
STEVE HAYNES, Haynes Publishing Co.
the whole system.
And despite layer upon layer of new regulations, there is no evidence the system
will be any safer the next time around.
Only next time, the banks and investment
houses that remain will be even bigger,
and the cost to bail them out will be even
more astounding.
The same logic has been applied to
airlines, where a few big corporations
Delta, United, American now control most of the market. The continent
has only six big railroads, including the
two Canadian companies with substantial U.S. operations, and these seek to
gobble up one another until only two or
three remain. Those, too, will be too big
to fail, as, we learned a few years ago,
are the automakers General Motors and
Chrysler.
Our solution? Break them up. Break
them all up. Return to the days of a
diverse, competitive market. Use the antitrust laws to prevent further concentrations in any industry, then reduce the size
of these dominant players until not one or
two of them can threaten the whole.
The world would not stop turning, believe
us, but our economy would be less subject
to the whims and fates of a few big corporations, most too cumbersome to function
well, but big enough to cause a disaster
should they fall.
If only we had a Teddy Roosevelt to
take the lead in this presidential race,
someone besides our socialist friend or
the corporate clones he competes with.

Hey Apple: Just unlock terrorists phone
The FBI wants access to the iPhone of San
Bernardino terrorist Syed Rizwan Farook,
and Apple CEO Tim Cook is resisting and
putting his refusal in apocalyptic terms.
Should Apple comply with a judges order
to help the FBI, were supposed to believe,
it will have created the privacy equivalent
of a doomsday device, making everyone vulnerable to the intrusions of government and
depredations of hackers and criminals.
This is trite marketing — only Apple can
save us from Big Brother, and by the way,
please keep buying our phones — masquerading as bravery.
In the San Bernardino case, one wonders
whose privacy Apple thinks its protecting.
As former prosecutor Andrew McCarthy
notes, Farook is dead. There is no doubt
that the government has probable cause to
search his phone. And the phone in question
didnt even belong to him. It is the property
of his former employer, the San Bernardino
County Department of Public Health, which
had the right to search it at will and is fine
with the FBI gaining access to it.
Apple wants to give the impression that
the key to Farooks phone is the key to the
kingdom, but its not so. As Timothy Lee
explains on the website Vox, the FBI doesnt
need to defeat the encryption on Farooks
phone and thus, in theory, endanger the
encryption on other phones. It just needs to
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
get into the phone. For that, it needs to get
past the first line of defense, the devices
passcode.
This is possible through what is called
brute force. A robot can punch in every
possible combination until the phone
unlocks. Except the iPhone has security features to defeat anyone who doesnt know the
passcode. The FBI wants Apple to change the
software on Farooks phone so it can force
the device open.
This isnt Armageddon. As Lee writes,
Apple has tacitly admitted that it can modify the software on Farooks iPhone to give
the FBI access without damaging the securi-
ty of anyone elses iPhone. No one is going
to have his or her privacy compromised
because the FBI, in this one instance, with
heroic technological exertions, gets into a
dead terrorists phone.
Apples position is basically, Dont worry
about ISIS, dont worry about tracking down
every possible lead in a terrorism case.
Worry about what cooperating with the government might do to the companys reputation, and about a parade of horribles that
might ensue if we slide from here several
miles down a slippery slope.
If Apple wants to avoid getting coerced
by Congress into building a real backdoor
to all its software, a much larger and more
fraught proposition, it has embarked on a
foolish course by choosing such an unsympathetic test case. The chances are high that
Apple will be seen to be acting unreasonably
— since it is acting unreasonably.
Apples contribution to American life is
a product that is almost impossible to live
without. The company is synonymous with
sleek and cool, and has an enormous reservoir of goodwill. It shouldnt diminish it by
staking out an indefensible position and elevating it to faux high principle. Unlock Syed
Rizwan Farooks phone.

Get ready for the great food tax debate
If there has ever been a ticking time bomb
in the Statehouse, its a page and a half resolution that would let voters decide to eliminate
the sales tax on groceries over the next four
years.
Introduced by a dozen senators, the measure, if it passed the Senate and House, would
go on the November general election ballot, just below the list of judges that some
Republicans are hoping voters will stick
around long enough to non-confirm.
You dont have to be a fulltime politics
watcher to know that if you can give voters
a chance to eliminate that pesky sales tax on
groceries, its going to pass. Who likes to pay
sales tax on anything? Especially groceries?
It is that near-certainty that the resolution
would be overwhelmingly approved that worries some legislators who dont like the food
sales tax, either, but are looking downstream
of that vote to just how they balance the budget without that revenue source.
Practically, if the sales tax on food phaseout occurred, it would create a major cash
shortage for the state starting on July 1, 2017,
when the food sales tax rate would drop to 4%
from the current 6.5%. Thats about $150 million in revenue loss in the first budget that the
newly elected House and Senate would have to
come up withor cut from spendingin the
first year of their new term. Second year of
that term, and the revenue drops another $130
million or so.
That makes for a rough two-year House
term, revenue-wise, and it gets a dab worse
when the sales tax on groceries totally evap-
STATE COMMENTARY
MARTIN HAWVER, At The Rail
orates on July 1, 2019, for the last two years
of those four-year Senate terms that will start
after this years elections.
Sorta like staring to cook dinner while the
attached garage is on fire
And, while the House has a bill that would
drop the sales tax on groceries by a smaller
amountto 2.6% and make up for the revenue shortfall by re-imposing the state income
tax on non-wage LLC and small businesses
theres a big difference between passing a law
to cut food sales taxes and putting a ban on
grocery sales taxes in the state constitution.
Yes, thats a big difference
But the House bill, well, its more controllable than a constitutional ban.
So, while the House considers what to do
with its bill, and the Senate Tax Committee
its constitutional amendment proposal, the
bigger political choice is just where legislators
want to leave their DNA on the issue.
Because, be assured, every vote on the
Senate side, whether it is to consider the bill
for a public hearing or voting it out of committee or forcing it to a vote in the Senate, will be
tracked carefully: You can be sure that sometime this October or early November, youll
get a phone call or a postcard or a card wedged
into your screen door saying who voted for or
against the food sales tax measures.
In the House, while the revenue cost of that
food tax reduction will show up in slim budgets for the next few years, you have to believe
that a yes vote for the littler bill will become a
why not let us voters decide the issue? style
campaign talking point.
Overall, the whole sales tax on groceries
issue comes down to the governors championing of those income tax exemptions. Reduced
sales tax revenue means that those 330,000some Kansans who dont pay state income
taxes are likely going to wind up with a tax
bill.
You gotta figure that without any state
income tax to pay, those non-income tax payers surely have the gas money to get to the
polls on Election Day. Probably in Buicks or
better.

DEATH…
FROM PAGE 3A
preliminary report was not expected to be available until late Monday afternoon.
If the incident is confirmed as a suicide, it
would be the first official suicide reported this
year. A report from the Kansas Department
of Health and Environment in October 2015
found that suicides killed more people than accidents, such as car wrecks or other accidents, in
Anderson County in 2012 and 2014. Although the
numbers were small – just three or four suicides
in those years – they were the leading cause of
death locally other than natural causes.
As a result, a Suicide Awareness Members
group formed recently. The new group, a division of SASS-MoKan, (Suicide Awareness
Survivor Support), meets the first Thursday
of each month from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the
Garnett Library, 125 W. Fourth Ave., Garnett.
The group is for family and friends who have
lost a loved one to suicide and all are welcome
to attend. The facilitator is Lu Ann Nichols, who

EMPORIA — Jeri Troyer of
Garnett, Kansas, is part of
the regional premiere of The
Flick by Annie Baker.
Winner of the Pulitzer
Prize for Drama in 2014, The
Flick takes place in a rundown movie theater in central
Massachusetts where three
underpaid employees – Sam,
Avery and Rose – tend to one of
the last 35-millimeter film projectors in the state. Their tiny
battles and not-so-tiny heartbreaks play out in the empty
aisles, becoming more gripping
than the lackluster, second-run
movies on screen.
Troyer, a senior Theatre
major, is on the costume crew.
The Flick is under the
direction of Dan Matisa who
joined the faculty in the fall
of 2015. Nancy J. Pontius is
designing the set and Elizabeth
Kennell (senior, Belton, MO) is
the lighting designer. Susan J
Mai serves as costume designer.
The Flick runs March 2
through 5 at 7:30 pm. All performances will be in the Karl C.
Bruder Theatre located in King
Hall. Tickets can be purchased
in person at the Memorial
Union Ticket Office or by calling 620-341-6378.

Tigers controlled the Central
Heights Vikings in boys action
Tuesday night, pulling away
for a decisive 64-42 victory.
The Tigers made the Vikings
one-dimensional as they controlled the paint in dominating fashion. They allowed the
Vikings just 6 buckets inside
the three-point line on the
night. Central Heights would
hit nine three-pointers.
Lyndon was at their best in
the first and third quarters.
They outpaced the Vikings
35-17 in the two periods combined on their way to the win.
Merrick Brown and Matt
Percy each scored 15 points for
Central Heights. All of Browns
points were via the three-pointer and Percy also hit three of
his own.

winless at 0-18, which made the
first quarter even more sur-

Scouts earn BSA Historic Trails award
Scouts from Troop 126
enjoyed a beautiful weekend of outdoor service and
learning as they traveled to
the St. Philippine Duchesne
Shrine and Memorial Park on
February 19-21. Park Steward,
Mr. Michael Martin shared the
history of the area with Scouts
and Scouters.
Approximately 150 years
ago, Jesuit priests accompanied several thousand
Potawatomie Indians from
the Great Lakes area to Linn
County Kansas. This forced
migration, now known as The
Trail of Death, was part of the
governments policy to vacate
land for the use of white settlers. Many of this tribe were
baptized Catholics and estab-
lished a community with a
church at this site, St. Marys
of Sugar Creek.
Several years later, nuns
from St. Charles, Missouri
came to educate the Native
American children. Among
them was Rose Philippine
Duchesne. St. Philippine was
a French nun of the Sacred
Heart congregation.
Her
love of God and the Native
Americans instilled in her
the desire to serve. The children knew her as Quah-KahKa-Num-Ad: the woman who
prays always. To memorialize the lives and work of these
early Kansas settlers, the original site of this community has
been preserved as a park and
shrine as a spiritual, educa-
tional and recreational facility
for the public.
Troop 126 Scouts and
Scouters spent the weekend
clearing trails, digging postholes for trail markers and
building a bench along the
trail. Each Scout in attendance earned the BSA Historic
Trails Award for their efforts.

punctuated by nervous laughter
and collective gasps.
In case you couldnt see, I
overfilled the water glass,
Bauman said.
They saw, all right, and in the
near-preternatural stillness that
followed breathlessly awaited
an explanation. Behind Bauman
a projection screen flashed a single word: Why?
You might be wondering
why, she said. Im not going
to tell you, because lots of wonderful things happen when you
start to wonder why.
Bauman, a young entrepreneur from Garnett whose family
began farming in 2001 with virtually no equipment and now operates 18 different enterprises, said
why was rooted in the family
culture. Much like the Amish
or Mennonites, their Anabaptist
faith puts certain strictures on
the use of modern technologies
such as the Internet, but rather
than finding them limiting or
restrictive, they serve as a catalyst for ingenuity and creativity.
She addressed members of the
Kansas Farmers Union during
their annual mid-December
state convention, whose theme
this year was Cultivating
Healthy Rural Communities.
I got to thinking about why
as relating to my family and
our farm and our experiences,
and I realized that every time
we dared to ask why, it always
resulted in something that really impacted our farm and our
family and our community for
the better, she said.
For Bauman, the act of questioning established norms was
not only liberating but ultimately inspiring. Her mentors, some
Kansans, some farmers and
others in such diverse fields as
finance, investment and community development, posed
questions that were seemingly
basic and straightforward, but
devoid of any clear-cut answers.
And yet, their very unanswerability provided stimulus for
deeper critical thought, and
answers that came from detours
and workarounds rather than
linear projections.
Why, asked Ruth Stout, do
I have to plant in rows? Why
does gardening have to be hard
work? Why do I have to plow my
garden?
Here was Stout, called the
mother of no-till gardening,
asking preposterous questions
no serious gardener would ever
ask. But she made me think,
Bauman said. Who knew planting in rows was optional? And
how many other agricultural
practices out there are optional?
Then there was Woody
Tasch. Hes not even a farmer, hes an investment guy in a
financial world way above my
head, she said. Hes asking
questions that are breaking the
investment world paradigm.
Hes asking why dont we slow
money down and bring it down
to earth. Why dont we invest as
if food, farms and fertility mattered. Why arent farmers an
important part of the economy?
Kansas author and advocate Marci Penner asked why
rural communities cant be viable options for young people.
More importantly, why cant we
change the world?
As far as Bauman is concerned, the world is mutable and
pliable, given the right vision,
and it always starts with a question.
Her own experiences bear
that out, she said, and she provided ten examples where asking why led to innovative and
far-reaching consequences.
Why cant farmers exist
on small acreage? she asked.
Why do we have to farm big?
We began farming in 2001 with
a ludicrous combination of
40-year old parents, six children,
no farming experience to speak
of and only 160 acres of land,
which isnt much in Kansas.
We asked why not, and jumped
in and started doing it, and 15
years later we not only survived
but we still have 160 acres of
land, and its thrived and is now
on its way to supporting not
just our original family but each
childs family as we grow.
When the family looked into
commercially processing chickens, they were told that it was
a financial sinkhole on top of
being a messy business. People
said no, no, no, Bauman said,
but we asked, why cant we
dress chickens and have fun?
Now, I dont think anyone else
has as much fun as we do.
Their business, ANCO Poultry
Processing, dresses 50,000 chickens per year.
Why cant small towns have
farmers markets? she asked.
Prevailing wisdom dictated that
it was impossible, that customers in small towns werent going
to pay the high prices found
in larger markets. And yet the
Bauman family found it ridiculous that rural residents didnt
have access to locally-grown
food. So we had two 18-yearolds and one newbie Kansan

in McPherson during a discussion on cultivating healthy rural communities.
start marketing in a vacated
town square about seven years
ago, she said. Guess what?
Were still here.
When seeking loans for the
farm or its various enterprises,
why cant the farmer be considered as collateral? she asked.
Whats worth more, my work
ethic and my inspiration and
my brains and ideas, or a cow?
According to the bank, the cow
was worth more. Fifteen years
of asking the same question
finally paid off in a different
answer.
While the banks were dithering over collateral, the Baumans
asked why they couldnt borrow money from friends or relatives. Bad idea, they were told.
We were just asking to lose
a lot of friends, Bauman said.
But we got to thinking that we
needed a lender we could trust,
and they needed an investment
they could understand. The
challenge we have to ask ourselves is, do I have the courage
to believe enough in my farm
to offer it as an investment for
my friends and family. Thats a
hard question because farmers
face a lot of risk, and you dont
want to risk relationships.
Those fears proved false after
they approached the right people about a year ago, she said,
and the decision has changed
their lives.
Why, they asked, should
farmers only do one thing but do
it well? Why cant they diversify? What if our farm is actually healthier having ten species
of animals instead of one? she
asked. What if its more stable
having 18 different enterprises
instead of just one. The Bauman
family now owns and operates
multiple enterprises including two USDA inspected plants
(ANCO Poultry Processing and
Baumans Butcher Block) as
well as Baumans Farm Feeds, a
non-GMO feed hub, the Garnett
Farmers Market and Bauman
Brother Custom Farming,
among others. And our farm is
stronger for it, she said.
After searching for locally-grown, non-GMO grain for
their animals and finding none,
they asked another question:
Why cant I feed my animals
grains that I grow in my fields?
The more people she asked, the
more answers she received,
all of them negative, and all of
them based on the high cost of
everything from infrastructure
to storage facilities. Ten years
later, they now feed their own
grain to their own animals as
well as process their neighbors
grain.
The concept of using their
grain processing plant to benefit
not just their own operations
but those of their neighbors
would at first glance seem to
negate any competitive advantage they would otherwise have,
but thats not how the Baumans
see it. Theyre our neighbors,
not our competitors, Bauman
said. Theyre part of our risk
management. When we started,
we had no equipment, and we
had to rely on other farmers to
share with us. Now that we have
our own equipment, we want to
share with others.
The same thought process
went into their meat-processing
and chicken-processing plants.
I want to be able to say hi to
my neighbor when I walk down
the street rather than sitting
on a resource they desperately
need, she said. Why share our
competitive advantage? Why
take time away from the farm to
share our experiences, our hardlearned lessons, and not keep
them for ourselves? Because
it goes back to the idea that a
sustainable business is not an
island unto itself. We wouldnt
be here if we didnt share.
Other whys came to her, and
one by one she found herself
and her family trying to find
answers. Why do I have to be
afraid of failure, she asked. Why
cant we expect miracles? The
latter seemed a culmination,
a summation, of all the other
questions. When taken together,
they blended into one seamless
query that hung in the air like a
note of grace.
As farmers, we see miracles every day, she said. We
see germination, we see things
growing, but were also as farmers very vulnerable in the fact
that every day we deal with elements beyond our control. The
weather, the markets, theyre all
bigger than we are, and someday
were going to find ourselves
between a rock and a hard place,
and the only thing left to do
will be to pray for a miracle.
Farming takes a lot of faith, but
it takes a lot of miracles, too.
Bauman spoke of a recent
National Farmers Unionsupported trip to Germany to
the International Leadership
Workshop for Rural Youth, and
how she learned that problems
facing the environment, community development, education
and climate change are universal. It was her first time outside
of the United States.
We learned how big the world
really is, she said, and we also
learned how big the worlds problems really are. Finding solutions to those problems wont be
easy, she said, and they wont be
quick, but they have to start with
a vision and, yes, with questions
that pore and probe into and
through and around everything
we think we know.
I dont want this to end with
I have a dream, Bauman said.
Its good to dream, but vision
without action is only dreaming. If every one of us stands up
and takes personal responsibility, the change begins with us.
When we step forward and take
that commitment, these small
steps are giant leaps for mankind. We can change the world.

top-of-mind
A buddy of mine owned a
convenience store several years
ago and launched a new sandwich line with a sampling promotion Ive remembered to this
day and stolen on occasion for
myself.
C-stores dont make much
money on gasoline even at
these prices so their best bet
to earn a profit is to sell you
something when you come in
the store, and to find something
that makes you come in regularly. Thats why just about every
store you go in these days has a
pizza counter, sandwiches, specialty coffees, not to mention all
the other convenience store merchandise.
I dont recall the name of the
sandwich franchise, but my
friend Daves launch idea was
stellar. They made up a bunch
of sandwiches of various types,
sliced them all up into sample
sizes, and just before lunchtime
one day delivered free samples to
all the businesses in town. It was
free food right when we were all
hungry!
Of course the sample included a handful of carry-out menus
with the phone number prominently displayed for call-in
orders. We kept those menus
at every desk and pinned one
to the bulletin board. I wonder
how many dollars in sandwiches

store over the years until he sold
it?

can even use someone elses and
still make a huge impression.
Maybe youre a florist preparing for a big Valentines Day
promotion, and the first of
February or so you buy some
(or prepare them yourself) sandwiches from a local shop and follow Daves route around town.
Every woman in every office as
well as every man is a possible
sale for Valentines flowers, and
every one of them has a stomach.
Obviously it takes some time
and theres the expense of the
sample involved, but Dave probably fed me and my staff a few
bucks worth of sandwiches that
day and made customers out of
us for years. Keep it in mindsampling is a great way to sell

anthropology seminar
On Saturday and Sunday Feb.
27-28, 2016, I will be attending
the Kansas Anthropological
Association
Certification
Seminar entitled Kansas
Prehistory in the Kansas
Historical classroom located in
the Kansas Museum of History,
Topeka.
Exactly what is the
Certification Program?
The Kansas Anthropological
Association (KAA) oversees an
in-house Certification Program
for its non-professional members. It is a comprehensive
program that guides amateur
archeologists like myself in
personal study and achievement.
There are seven categories
of certification, each requiring
some formal classes, usually
offered during the field training school, and other requirements specific to each category. The seven categories are:
Basic Surveyor, Advanced
Surveyor, Basic Crew Member,
Advanced Crew Member, Basic
Lab Technician, Advanced
Lab Technician and Outreach
Specialist.
Certification candidates may
work on several areas simultaneously, however 40 to 80 hours

by Kansas State Historical
Society personnel), several

formal classes, and other projects are required for each category. Specific requirements
are outlined in a Certification
Notebook,which is received
when a KAA member enrolls
in the program for a one-time
fee of $10.
Certification is an excellent
program for guiding the learning experience and measuring
ones achievements in archeology, as well as a personal
record of ones experiences.
Completing areas of the program is an indication of competence and knowledge, but is
not construed as a license to
excavate. Professional archeologists do take this experience
into account, however, when
assigning leadership roles
and major responsibilities at
the annual two week Field
Training School normally held
in June each year.
Richmond Museum
plans Potato Bar Supper
The Richmond Community
Museum was pleased to host
nearly 70 persons at its annual meeting recently and provide an interesting program by
archaeologist Henry Roeckers
who described artifacts found
at the Richard Strobel Farm
two miles south of Richmond at
the Scipio corner.
But its quickly on to the
Museums next event, a Potato
Bar Supper on Saturday,
March 12th.
Baked potatoes with toppings,
relishes, dessert and drink
will be served for a donation
at the Richmond Community
Building from 5-7 p.m. on the
12th. Carry-outs are available,
said Sarah Peters, who chairs
the almost-holiday-time supper.
Folks other than Museum
board members help with this
supper, which makes it an even
better community activity,
said Peters. The Museum will
open at 3 and there is no admission charge.
Nearly 70 persons attended
the Museums annual meeting
and were the first ones to hear
about the Strobel Farm artifacts which included two ax
heads that are about 150 years
old, silverware with bone handles, Civil War musket caps,
a comb designed for de-licing
ones hair, two burner baskets,
a rifle hook, uniform buttons,
amber canning jar lid, handblown small bottles, trade
beads, parts of clay pipes with
long stems, and many other
items.
Roeckers also explained
how he digs in only a small
area at a time and replaces the
soil as neatly as possible. He
told about each artifact as he
showed it to the audience.
More will be written about
the information Roeckers
shared in a later story.
For now, see you at the
Richmond Museum after 3
p.m. and then next door at the
Potato Bar Supper on Saturday,
March 12th!

Is a relationship with
Jesus a necessity?
Is a relationship with Jesus
a necessity? In John 4 Jesus
talks to a Samaritan woman.
Jesus arrives in a town called
Sychar. There he meets a
Samaritan woman who is coming to Jacobs well to draw
water at noon. The reason the
woman comes in the heat of
the day is because she has a
checkered past and she wishes to avoid meeting the other
woman of the town. Much to
her surprise Jesus engages her
in a conversation.
In a gentle conversation
Jesus guides the woman into
a conversation that reveals the
reason she avoids the other
woman. Jesus says to her.
If you knew the gift of God
and who it is that asks for a
drink you would have asked
him and he would have given
you living water. (John 4;10)
The woman notices that Jesus
does not have anything to draw
water with. She questions him
concerning this and he says;
Everyone who drinks this
water will be thirsty again, but
whoever drinks the water I give
him will never thirst. (John
4:13-14) The woman responds,
Sir give me this water so that
I wont get thirsty and have
to keep coming here to draw
water. (John 4:15) The woman
is referring to physical water
and Jesus is referring to spiritual water.
Jesus tells her to go call her
husband and come back. The
woman replied, I have no husband (John 4:17) Throughout
the story the woman reveals an
understanding of the Jewish
law and even acknowledges
the coming Messiah, called the
WEEKLY
DEVOTIONAL
By David Bilderback
Christ. She understood her
heritage handed down through
Jacob.
She was like many of us are
today. She was convinced of
someone greater than herself
but she was not converted.
There was no sign of transformation in her life. She had
five previous husbands and
the man she now had was not
her husband. Jesus did not
berate her for this, his intention was to show her the need
for a Savior, which would lead
to the transformation of her
life.
The woman could not change
her past just like we cannot
change our past. However
God understood this when he
sent Jesus to die on a cross for
our sins. This is the reality of
Jesus. Aside from Jesus there
is no other way we can clear
the garbage and clutter from
our lives.
Many live a moral, upright
life but their lives are not
transformed. The same old
things continue to drag them
down and prevent them from
living transformed lives. We
must understand that Jesus
is the only way to salvation.
That is a reality. When we
understand this the necessity
of Jesus becomes apparent.

Rail trail to celebrate
Platinum Anniversary
The 20th anniversary is the
platinum anniversary.
Its with a lot of love and support that has withstood the test
of time that the Friends of the
Prairie Spirit Trail celebrate
one of Kansas most unique
milestones, the 20th anniversary of the Prairie Spirit Rail
Trail. This trail was built two
decades ago upon what was
once the LL&G (Leavenworth,
Lawrence and Galveston)
Railway and then former Santa
Fe Railroad. Today the trail
draws hundreds of visitors and
a variety of bicycle rides and
running events annually.
The Friends invite the communities along the Prairie
Spirit,
trail
enthusiasts
and railroad buffs to a celebration dinner to be held on
Wednesday, March 16th in
the Commons Area of the
Anderson County High School.
The birthday bash, as the
Friends of the Prairie Spirit
Trail refer to it, will begin with
a silent auction with a large
assortment of themed gift baskets at 6 p.m., followed by a
bountiful buffet meal at 6:30
p.m. Guest presenters will give
a historical perspective of the
trail, along with updates on
trail projects and upcoming
Friends activities.
Tickets for the event are
$10 per person and can be purchased at Garnett City Hall,
available through Friends
group members or at the door
during the event. The buffet

dinner includes smoked brisket, scalloped potatoes, a variety of salads and a surprise
dessert.
The 20th anniversary celebration is a public event and
everyone is cordially invited.
The Friends of the Prairie
Spirit Trail invite you to show
your support of the trail and
the communities along the
Prairie Spirit by attending.
The Prairie Spirit Trail officially opened on March 30, 1996
with a special celebration in
Garnett celebrating the first
phase of the trail, from Welda
to Richmond. On September
1, 1998 the second phase of the
trail (Richmond to Ottawa)
was dedicated with a special
event in Ottawa. In 2008, the
third phase of the trail opened
from Welda to Iola. The State of
Kansas designated the 51-mile
linear pathway as the Prairie
Spirit Trail State Park in 2010.
In 2013 trail supporters on the
southern edge of the Prairie
Spirit created what is now
the Southwind Trail, linking
the trails at Iola and extending to Humboldt. For more
information about the Prairie
Spirit Trail, please visit www.

The Prairie Spirit Trail
State Park is managed by the
Kansas Department of Wildlife,
Parks and Tourism. The trail
managers office is located in
Garnett.

Library to discuss Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen
The Garnett Public Library
will hold their book discussion
on Wednesday, March 23rd at
7 p.m. in the Archer Room at
the library. They are held on the
fourth Wednesday of each month.
This months book is Looking
for Salvation at the Dairy Queen
by Susan Gregg Gilmore. This
book marked the debut of a talented new literary voice. Leading
our discussion will be Paulabeth
Henderson.
Sometimes you have to return
to the place where you began,
to arrive at the place where you
belong. Its the early 1970s. The
town of Ringgold, Georgia, has
a population of 1,923, one traffic
light, one Dairy Queen, and one
Catherine Grace Cline. The daughter of Ringgolds third-generation
Baptist preacher, Catherine Grace
is quick-witted, more than a little
stubborn, and dying to escape her
small-town life.
Every Saturday afternoon,
she sits at the Dairy Queen, eating Dilly Bars and plotting her
getaway to Atlanta. And when,
with the help of a family friend,
the dream becomes a reality, she
immediately packs her bags, leaving her family and the boy she
loves to claim the life shes always
imagined. But before things
have even begun to get off the
ground in Atlanta, tragedy brings
Catherine Grace back home. As
a series of extraordinary events
