THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT For years locals
have complained about the lack
of a carnival at the Anderson
County Fair, and attendance
has suffered. This year the fair
board is hoping to change that
with a $25,000 guaranteed-fee
carnival offering, but success
will depend on whether those
who complained turn into ticket buyers.
A carnival is returning to
the 2014 fair after several years
without one. But in order to
make the carnival pay for itself,
fair organizers will need to sell
more than 400 wristband tickets for each of the four nights
the carnival will be in town,
Aug. 5-8.
Its a daunting task, but
Anderson County Fair Board
President Jess Rockers said he
and his fellow fair leaders are
working hard to bring a variety of events that will attract
people to the fair.
The major factor if its
going to work or not is community involvement, Rockers
said. That has the biggest
impact on whether well be able
to do it again next year.
Community service organizations and local businesses
will be asked to help the fair
board sell advance tickets for
$15 per ticket. The ticket can
be brought to the carnival and
traded for a colored wristband;
each night, the carnival will feature a different colored wristSEE CARNIVAL ON PAGE 3A

Experts: Prepare before you burn
Spring burning begins
with out-of-control
fires throughout area
BY VICKIE MOSS THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
A break in cold temperatures this past weekend
appeared to be the perfect
opportunity for area farmers to begin the annual
burning of cool season
grasses, but it turned into
a potentially dangerous
weekend with numerous
grass fires.
At least five grass fires
got out of control Sunday,
with volunteer firefighters called to help put out
fires all over the county.
Although a couple fires
came close to buildings,
firefighters were able to
keep the blazes from damaging any structures. No
one was injured in any of
the incidents. An estimate
of the amount of acreage
burned was not immediately available.
A combination of gusty
winds and dry conditions
likely contributed to the
situation, but experts say
the conditions initially
didnt appear to be dangerous. Anderson County
Emergency Management
Director JD Mersman said
burning was allowed this
past weekend, although
he may consider instituting a burn ban in the near
future.
The risk was high
(Sunday), but its high
most days this time of
year, he said.
Although grass and
brush are dry, conditions
are not abnormally dry for
this time of year, Shannon
Blocker, agriculture agent
with Anderson County
Extension Office, said.
Were dry, but were
not dry like we were the
last two years, Blocker
said. I dont know what
caused the fires to get out
of control (Sunday), but I
think that dry conditions
were the biggest factor.

wind may have made it

Smoke rises from an out-of-control grass fire between Garnett and Greeley near U.S. 169
Sunday afternoon. Area firefighters were kept busy Sunday, responding to at least five out-ofcontrol grass fires as farmers took advantage of warm temperatures to burn fields.
You cant give up on your
dreams, Eric Gordon, a 2005
graduate of Central Heights
High School and recent contestant on American Idol, said
from his home in Osseo, Minn.
Gordon, who made it
through most of the audition
rounds of the television show
but was sent home at the end
of Hollywood Week, said he has
struggled over the years in the
pursuit of his dreams to make
it in the music industry. But his
experience on American Idol
has reignited his passion for
music, and he has recommitted
himself to pursuing a lifelong
dream.
Gordon
I dont know why I grew up
afraid to dream big, he said.
I tell people all the time, dont
let anybody make you feel bad
for having a dream. Its advice
I have to repeat to myself again
and again.

ACJSHS will get tech

Board approves plans
to upgrade classes
with whiteboards

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT- Anderson County
Junior Senior High School
classrooms will jump into
the next generation of learning after USD 365 board members approved a plan to install
laptop-connected interactive
whiteboards in every classroom.
Starting next year, each
classroom at ACJSHS will have
an interactive whiteboard system as part of the Advanced
Connected Classroom through
Dell Computers. The system,
which included 50 laptop stations and 20 projectors, cost a
total of $102,039.20 in capital
outlay funds reserved for technology. The laptops are a tabletkeyboard system that will allow
teachers to be more mobile
when using the system.
The system will allow high
school and junior high classrooms to be outfitted with
technology similar to a system
already in place in Garnet,
Greeley and Westphalia. At
those schools, teachers use an
interactive dry-erase whiteboard and laptop with projectors to teach lessons, rather
than the traditional chalkboard.
The ACJSHS system takes the
technology to the next level

School funding decision leaves
more questions than answers
Fridays Supreme Court
decision may have
extended impact
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT While the full
impact of last weeks school
funding decision by the Kansas
Supreme Court may not be
known for some time, USD 365
Superintendent Don Blome said
districts like Garnett could benefit from changes in the way the
state disperses capital outlay
and the local option budget.
The Kansas Supreme Court
on Friday ruled the states current levels of school funding
are inadequate, and gave the
Legislature until July 1 to make
changes. But the court stopped
short of deciding exactly how
much the state should spend,
authorizing a lower court to
determine an adequate figure.
Some Republican leaders in
January said they might resist
an order for more spending,
leading to uncertainty about
how the Supreme Courts decision ultimately will play out.
State legislators reduced
school funding beginning in 2009
during the recession. Kansas is
spending 16.5 percent less per
student -about $950 per pupil
– on education in 2014 than it did
in 2008, according to the Center
on Budget and Policy Priorities.
Lawsuit supporters have said
the states cuts are particularly
unfair to poor districts, because
those districts get a smaller
piece of the financial pie.
Blome said its difficult to say
what could happen in USD 365
and other area districts because
of the uncertainty surrounding
the decision. Its possible legislators could find other ways
to cut aid, even if they made
changes as suggested by the

will be open from 6 p.m. to 10:30
p.m. Advance ticket sales begin
May 15. Wristbands purchased
at the carnival will cost $20.
In addition to selling advance
tickets, fair organizers hope to
draw more people to the fair
with a variety of free events.
The parade is set for Tuesday,
Aug. 5, and that event typically
brings the largest crowd to the
fair, Rockers said. The annual
Merchants Tent and pie baking contest and auction will
be on Wednesday, along with a
shodeo, or a fun rodeo event.
A unique and free petting
zoo will set up Thursday, featuring unusual animals like
kangaroos and camels. Friday
features the annual livestock
sale and buyers appreciation
dinner. More events could be
added in the meantime.
Were trying to get free
events while the kids are at the
carnival, Rockers said. You
need something for the parents
to do while the kids are having
fun.
Carnival rides will be provided by Fun Times Shows, an
amusement company based
in southeast Missouri. The
business features a variety of

difficult to control the fires. He
and Blocker said its important
for people who plan to burn off
pastures to make sure they have
enough help and enough water
to control the fire. Blocker suggested anyone who plans to
burn should have at least five
people available to help, and at
least 100 gallons of water available.
Its important to know your
limitations. Hire someone to do
it if you cant, Blocker said.
Mersman said if you have
any doubts about the conditions, dont burn.
If you feel like its too windy
or youre not comfortable burning, error on the side of caution, he said. It doesnt take
much for a grass fire to get
big.
This is the ideal time to burn
cool season grasses like fescue
in order to control weeds and
brush, Blocker said. Grass species like fescue and brome do
not benefit from burning, but
fire is the most cost-effective
and environmentally benefi-

cial way to control weeds, she
said. Those types of grasses are
most common in this area, and
burning is effective in the early
spring and fall.
Its a bad time to burn native
grass species, however, Blocker
said. Anderson County does
not have a lot of native grass,
but burning is a good way to
help improve native grass quality. Native grasses are warm
season grasses, which means
they should be burned between
April and August.
Blocker said its important
to know what type of grass you
have. If you burn the wrong
type at the wrong time, you
could have problems.
If you burn native grasses
in February and March, it will
cause fescue and other cool season grasses to creep in, and
vice versa. If you burn fescue
too late, it will kill it.
Both Blocker and Mersman
remind people that anyone who
wants to burn must first call
dispatchers at (785) 448-6823
and obtain a burn permit. If
conditions do not allow burning, dispatchers will not issue a
permit.

a week later, most seem to have
accepted the change, he said.
Finding a carnival company
that could attend the Anderson
County Fair was a challenge,
Rockers said. During his
research, he learned there were
about 1,200 carnival companies
in the U.S. in the early 1990s;
now, there are only about 200 as
increasing costs of insurance,
fuel and equipment maintenance took its toll on the industry. Meanwhile, the number of
county fairs and festivals that
feature carnivals has not drastically diminished. That translates to greater demand and
fewer suppliers.
It will cost $25,000 to bring
the carnival to Anderson
County, although Fun Times
Shows will count ticket sales
as part of the obligation. That
means if the fair board can sell
$25,000 worth of advance tickets, they will not have to pay the
company anything other than a
$5,000 deposit. City and county
leaders agreed to chip in $2,500
each to pay for the deposit, and
agreed to cover another $2,500
each if the fair doesnt raise
enough money in ticket sales.
In the event of poor ticket sales,
the fair board will need to cover
whatever is left.
Because of the financial risk,
the fate of next years fair rests
on this years success. Although
most carnival companies contract from three to five years,
Fun Times Shows agreed to a
one-year test run in Anderson
County, Rockers said.
In addition to the carnival
and traditional fair events that
week, the annual Tractor Pull
will be at 7 p.m. July 26.
The theme of the 2014 fair is
Country Pride County Wide.
Grand marshals are Mary and
Charles Holloran. More information about the fair can be

The purchase is the first half
of a two-phase approach. The
second phase will bring tablet
computers to every high school
student at a cost of about $350
per device. The students would
keep the tablet throughout the
course of their high school
careers. In addition to about
$142,000 in start-up costs, the
tablets would require about
$40,000 per year in maintenance
and upgrades as the devices
need to be replaced on a rotational basis.
School board members are
expected to decide whether to

some point later in the year.

court.
Theres no clear fix, he
said.
In theory, however, the decision could lead to increases
in capital outlay and the local
option budget. The states distribution of local option budget,
or LOB, funds has decreased
over the years, forcing districts
to increase taxes just to raise
the same amount of money
as previous years. If the state
restores its LOB distribution,
districts could lower their tax
rates yet still receive the same
amount of money.
Districts can only raise their
LOB to 30 percent of their general operating budget. In USD
365, that leaves about $150,000
in additional tax money the
district could collect before it
reaches the limit, Blome said.
He does not yet know if the
district will need to increase
its LOB. The states actions on
school finance wont change
how much money the district
can collect, but it could change
how much the district will need
to tax its residents in order to
collect the money.
If this plays out the way the
court ruling says, its possible
we could go up that amount of
money and still not increase
or possibly decrease our mill
levy, Blome said.

recalled putting on headphones
at age 6 and singing along to
music. When he was young, he
would only sing while wearing
headphones, he said.
In high school, Gordon found
the courage to pursue music
and tried out for Season 2 of
American Idol, when he was
just 16. He took the rejection
pretty hard, but recognizes that
fear played a big role in his first
audition. He battled crippling
anxiety and had to learn how to
work through the fear.
They said at the time I was
ready vocally but I lacked stage
presence. I didnt know what
kind of performer I wanted to
be, he said.
After that, Gordon auditioned for other music television shows, including a gospel
singing contest and X-Factor,
while he continued his education and worked. He was contacted to audition for The Voice
but became sick and couldnt
audition; the next season, he
didnt get a callback. At about
the same time, he was denied
admission into nursing school
and reached a crossroads in his
life. Thats when he decided to
refocus his energy on his music
instead of a career in the medical field.
I think that was God telling me, Thats not what you
want to do. Youll never be truly
happy, he said.
Gordons initial auditions for
Idol brought praise from judges
Harry Connick Jr., Jennifer
Lopez and Keith Urban, and he
sailed through with about 200
other contestants to Hollywood
Week. Thats when the intensity ramps up, with contestants
facing a grueling schedule and
the potential to be cut every
day.
The first challenge came
soon after contestants arrived
in Los Angeles, where they were
taken to an airplane hangar. If
the judges had doubts about a
contestant, they asked him or
her to sing and decided whether
to send that person back home
immediately. Gordon said he
wasnt asked to sing at the
time, and advanced to the next
round.
The next day, the judges
brought contestants to the
stage in groups of about 10 and
asked them to sing. Gordon
performed Perfectly Lonely
by John Mayer, which he sang
during his initial audition in
front of the judges. Because
of editing, the show made it
appear as if he was sent home
after that audition but in reality Gordon advanced much further in the competition. He also
made it past the grueling group
round, where he and a small
group sang Royals by Lorde.
In the final audition round, contestants picked a song from a
list. Gordon chose Up to the
Mountain by Patty Griffin.
Traditionally, American Idol
judges at that point separate the
contestants into three groups.
Each group is put into a room,
and the entire roomful of contestants are told whether they
made it through. Although the
television show didnt air that
part of the contest, Gordon was
put into a room of contestants
that were sent home.
I was a little disappointed, Gordon said of making it
through to nearly the end of the
audition process only to be cut
on the last day. But last years
winner won on her third try.
Gordon, who is 27, still has
one year left to audition before
he exceeds the age cutoff. He
said he plans to try out again,
and hopes his recent experience helps him next time.
I didnt want to lay everything out there and hit a peak
early on. I think that was my
mistake, he said. I would like
to set the bar a little higher, do
my best and grow from there.
The feedback and experience Gordon received from his
American Idol audition has
been overwhelming, he said.
He plans to capitalize on the
exposure, and plans to release a
single in the late spring or early
summer. Hes been busy doing
interviews about his Idol experience, and has scheduled performances in his area as well
as a performance at the Swan
Festival in Ottawa in June.
I dont know why a single
audition would establish credibility but it has, Gordon said.
People take you more seriously after youve been on TV.
Because of his experience
on the show, Gordon said he
has forged relationships with
people in the music industry,
and is working harder to make
his dreams come true.
Its a crazy ride, but its the
life I want.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, March 11, 2014
EDITORIAL
Why do we put up with cruddy Internet?
Its not just embarrassing that Americans
have to live with slower, more expensive Internet
service than the Japanese, South Koreans,
Swedes and most of Europe its also an act of
contrition to admit the U.S. Government worked
better 78 years ago than it does today.
It was 1935 when President Roosevelt signed
the Rural Electrification Act legislation that
authorized the federal government to make
favorable loans to local power companies if
theyd commit to extending electric lines out
into rural America. Anderson County was one
of innumerable beneficiaries across the lessertraveled parts of the country, and electricity in
rural homes and small towns literally changed
the profile of life in rural America.
Now Americans particularly those who
live and work in rural America live with substandard broadband service, overpriced limited
options and no competition in what is without
a doubt the next great game-changer of future
generations high-speed Internet access.
Have you considered, if you live in the rural
areas of Kincaid or Lone Elm or Greeley, why
you have a power line running to your house,
and a hard-wire telephone line running to your
house, but nothing that carries broadband
Internet service?
A book published last year by Susan Crawford,
Captive Audience: The Telecom Industry and
Monopoly Power in the New Gilded Age, explains
why Americans are now over-charged secondclass riders on the Information Superhighway;
why our subscription prices are the highest
in the developed world and why Westphalians
and Greeley-ites alike are stuck with expensive
bundles of Internet and satellite TV service or
even slower and more expensive wireless hot
spot access through cellular phone services.
Crawford focuses on the emerging oligopolies
of Comcast, Verizon and AT&T and dissects
the 2011 merger of Comcast and NBC Universal
(you know, the NBC peacock- they make programming like The Biggest Loser, 30 Rock,
Dateline, etc.) as the lock-down event curtailing competition in broadband Internet. Profits
from broadband sales among Comcast, Verizon
and AT&T have gone through the roof even during the recession, while service speeds within
their areas exponentially trail places like Hong
Kong.
In Sweden, for instance, cities and towns
floated bond issues and built their own local
fiber optic networks to carry broadband, telephone and television service, then opened them
to retailers who wanted to provide service on
those lines to subscribers. They charged fees
to the providers, paid off the bonds, and now
derive non-tax revenue from those franchise
fees.
A converse example is in Garnett, where
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
the city embraces a franchise agreement with
one cable TV company which hangs its own
cable lines on city poles, and is beholden to that
company because it holds the local monopoly.
Poor service and programming has chased tons
of Garnett customers to satellite service (drive
down local streets and look at the rooftops), but
theyre still paying through the nose due to deals
like Comcast/NBC Universal. Options, which
dont always include phone, TV or broadband
service, include DSL from the local monopoly
phone company or…
Well, thats about it.
Indeed, the United States, which invented
the Internet (under the direction of Al Gore, of
course) ranks 16th in speed and cost of its average broadband service. In the UK, customers get
phone, TV and broadband Internet for less than
$60 per month. Broadband service comparable
to what we have in the states can be had for less
than $6 per month. In the Netherlands, 100 mbps
broadband that uploads as fast as it downloads
comes with TV and phone service for under $100
per month.
Why? Because European regulators set policies to encourage competition, as opposed to U.S.
regulators actions that discouraged competition. Political contributions have kept it that
way.
Amazingly, while our country has suffered
through the economic anemia of the past six
years, neither our congress nor our president
has hammered out REA-like initiatives that
could have put Americans to work building fiberoptic networks in cities and rural areas, bringing the U.S. back into the current digital age for
broadband speed. Our Federal Communications
Commission has paved the way for less competition with mergers like Comcast/NBC, and U.S.
customers have paid the price.
As your congressional office-seekers crowd
our county fairs and July 4th parades and bowling alleys and pie suppers over the next two
years pressing flesh and looking for our votes,
we should be asking them for an explanation.

Ive been following the talk among the county commission about upgrading windows in
the Anderson County Courthouse and Im
sure they no doubt need to be insulated or
something to be more efficient especially
after a winter like weve had this winter.
But more importantly I think this discussion should lead us in another direction, and
thats the amount of fire protection we have
in the courthouse. Is it adequate? I confess
I have no idea, but I do know hundred yearold timbers and classic woodwork coated
with so many years of varnish and solvents
and all makes those old courthouses a tinderbox. Is there a sprinkler system? Smoke
alarms and heat sensors to alert the county
dispatcher and fire department? It would be
a shame if the historical peoples rules kept
us from having adequate protection against
fire. I have not seen an old courthouse go
President Obama and the marriage obstacle
There are few, if any, people who have
more moral authority in the black community than President Barack Obama. A
few weeks ago, he put it to good use.
The president launched the My
Brothers Keeper initiative, aimed at fostering achievement among minority young
men. He gathered black and Latino teenagers in the East Room of the White House to
exhort them in a highly personal speech.
He recounted visiting a program in
Chicago for promising kids who have gotten into some trouble. They sat in a circle
and shared their stories. I explained to
them, the president said, that when I
was their age I was a lot like them. I didnt
have a dad in the house. And I was angry
about it, even though I didnt necessarily
realize it at the time. I made bad choices.
I got high without always thinking about
the harm that it could do. I didnt always
take school as seriously as I should have.
I made excuses. Sometimes I sold myself
short.
This is a potent message from one of
the most powerful and famous men on the
planet to kids who find themselves growing up in exactly such tough circumstances. He coupled his message of encouragement with a call to reject excuses and to
realize youve got responsibilities, too.
At times, the president spoke in terms
you would expect to hear at the American
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
Enterprise Institute, the conservative
think tank. He cited the dismaying numbers of black and Latino kids who grow
up in fatherless households, before noting,
We know that boys who grow up without
a father are more likely to be poor, more
likely to underperform in school.
It may have been the most conservative
speech of his presidency (granted, a low
bar), in that it acknowledged contributions
of family that cant be replaced by government. When it comes to the lives of these
kids, government interventions cannot
play the only — or even the primary -role.
The building block of family is, of
course, marriage, a word that the president uttered only once, when he said we
should remove the barriers to marriage.
He didnt say that couples should marry
before they have kids and that fathers
should be married to the mothers of their
children. He said instead, in deliberately
hazy language, that we need to encourage
fathers to stick around.
But the absent-father crisis is almost
entirely a function of the breakdown of
marriage. For most men, marriage and
fatherhood are a package deal, University
of Virginia scholar Bradford Wilcox points
out. If you want one, you need the other.
President Obama has often said that he set
the goal for himself of being a better dad
than his own AWOL father. But its not just
that Obama is involved in his daughters
lives, its that hes married to Michelle.
The president doesnt want to outrage
elite left-wing sensibilities by forthrightly
advocating heterosexual marriage. So he
leaves out the one institution that can have
the biggest impact on the lives of children
he is passionate about. Until he is willing
to cross this cultural red line, his bully
pulpit can only be half-full.
Rich Lowry is editor of the National
Review.
State wants to give budget authority to judges
The Kansas Senate voted last week to
make a courthouse-shaking, or maybe a
ground-shaking, change in the way our
courts are run, bringing a new level of
power politics to the obscure culture of justice in Kansas.
The change? Allowing the chief judges
of the states 31 judicial districts to opt to
single-handedly allocate the budget of that
judicial district in which the chief judge
now generally agreed to by consensus of
the local judges and often rubber-stamped
by the Chief Justice of the Kansas Supreme
Courtsits.
Oh, and did we mention that another portion of the bill lets district court judges and
judges of the Kansas Court of Appeals elect
their own leaders?
There are many moving parts to that
legislation which is anchored by fully funding the Judicial Branch budget for the year
that starts July 1 and which avoids what
has been predicted to be as many as seven
weeks of furloughs of non-judge employees
of the states district courts.
That full-funding is the bright spot in the
bill, solves a major problem, not just for the
courts but for the Legislature and for the
businesses and law enforcement agencies
which like the certainty of knowing that the
courts are up and running.
Nothing firm yet, but chances are decent
STATE COMMENTARY
MARTIN HAWVER, At The Rail
that the House will buy into the Senate
product.
Now, lets see…if the chief judge of a judicial districtand those range from singlecounty districts with more than 30 judges
to small multicounty districts with just two
judgescontrols the local budget…thats a
big deal.
Oh, and yes, were figuring that a district
court judge can campaign for the chief
judgeship with budget promises to other
judges, along with the typical promises to
move a judge who has been assigned
sentenced?to hear just traffic or divorce
cases.
That budget authority? It also means
shuffling who gets the court reporters and
administrative assistants and what nonjudge employees are paid and probably who
gets the new office chair.
We will see some political power shifts
within courthouses that Republicans in the
Senate wantnicely decorated in a bill that
touts full funding for the court system.
Theres no better way for anyone to climb
to power than to control the budgetit
works in the Legislature, and it probably
works in your home, too.
And the bill also, by letting district court
judges just send a well take care of the
budget here note to Topeka, removes a
lot of top-down authority of the Kansas
Supreme Court, which the governor and an
apparent majority of the Legislature find
unseemly.
Pretty subtle way to chip away at the
power of the Supreme Court? Seems like to
some, diluting the top-down authority of the
Supreme Court and its chief justice.
Well have to see where this one goes…

they tell me a town is never the same after it
happens. Lets make sure our courthouse is

winter. Thank you.
Poor Kansas Republicans. They have nobody

Yes, I would just appreciate the people who

appreciate the dogs pooping in our yard and

your own yard that would be great, but please
dont do it on West 8th in our own yards.
Thank you.
Hi, I just wanted to say on behalf of a lot of
parents of kids in sports in that local schools
that I really appreciate Kevin Gaines articles
in the paper. Our kids spend a lot of time
and effort playing basketball and these other
sports and the parents spend a lot of time
going to games too and we really appreciate
their efforts being recognized in the paper.
Keep up the good work and thank you.
I think the investors in the ethanol plant
dodged a bullet with Mr. Brittenham. That
could well have been our plant and our money
and it wouldnt have been near as funny then.
Thank you.
I find it amazing that some people in this community can be so upset about a silly awning
being built over bleachers at a ball park.
Are you so stupid as to ignore the business
brought to this town because of those ball
fields? Would you rather have a dirt lot and a
couple of wooden benches to welcome out-oftown teams to our community with? We talk
about tourism in our town and we raise the
motel tax to pay for it, but how much money
do you think is brought to our town from
April through September from people traveling to Garnett because either they or their
kids play ball here? Those ball fields are nice
to be able to show off for our town and those
games are good for our businesses. You need
to wake up, get educated and get a life.

Dynamite 4-H Club wants to have fun event
The Dynamite 4-H club met
on February 9, 2014, under
the direction of President
Samantha Nickel. Samantha
led the club in reciting the
Pledge of Allegiance. The
song leader, Tristian Ewert,
led the group in singing a
song. The Secretary, Miranda
Akes, took roll call by asking
each member to state their
favorite color. Thirteen members, seven parents, and two
leaders were in attendance.
After roll call the minutes
of the January 19th meeting
were read. The President
approved the minutes with no
corrections or additions.
The meeting business started with reports from club officers and leaders. Treasurer,
Jo Dorrell, gave an update
on the monthly income and
expenses. All balances were
recorded and approved. Club
leader, Tanya Ewert, informed
club members of some upcoming events. She reminded the
group about County Club Day
on February 15th. The model

Bulldogs blow big first half lead at sub-state
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 03-11-2014 / Photo Submitted
ACHS Macy Ratliff tried to tighten up the Garnett defense against
Burlington in the later quarters of the weekend Bulldog/Wildcat
girls matchup, but AC was outgunned and Burlington advanced
to the Kansas 4A Division II tournament Wednesday at Park City.
Burlington sports a 21-1 and faces 8-14 Clay Center in the opening
round.
Bulldog girls season is over
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – The odds were
stacked against the Anderson
County (9-12) girls as they were
facing a daunting first round
4A Div. II Substate tournament
game against Burlington (19-1),
who is ranked first in state.
Burlington took control of
the game early by jumping
out to a 7-0 lead. The AC girls
didnt get on the scoreboard
until 1:54 remaining in the first.
Burlington led 10-2 heading into
the second quarter.
The second period was much
of the same. The Bulldogs
struggled against the pressure
of Burlington, leading to some
easy baskets. Burlington started the second half on a 12-2 run
to take a 22-4 lead.
After the Bulldogs scored a
layup with less than 10 seconds remaining in the half,
Burlington went the length of
the court and hit a buzzer beater to take a 24-6 lead into the
locker room.
Heading into the third quarter, realistically the Bulldogs
were just out to play a much
more competitive second half.
Despite the deficit, there
wasnt a lack of effort on the
part of the girls. Following
intermission, they put together
their best quarter.
Following a Paige Scheckel
three-pointer, the Bulldogs
scored trailed 28-11. Closing out
the quarter Burlington held a
slight 11-9 advantage for the
period.
Burlington seized control
again in the fourth quarter to
pull away for the convincing
victory after out pacing the
Bulldogs 15-4 for the period.
Box Score
Anderson County McCullough 7, Porter
4, Scheckel 4, Ratliff 2, Sutton 1
Burlington Bluma 15, Wagner 11,
Kirchner 8, Norton 7, Dorcas 4, Atkins 2,
Emiling 2, Stadel 1
GARNETT – The Bulldogs blew
a 30-15 second quarter lead on
their way to a heart breaking
56-46 defeat to the Iola Mustangs
in the weekends sub-state tournament.
With very few giving the
Bulldogs a real shot at returning to state if you looked at
how the season ended and who
was in their bracket you knew
there was still a legitimate possibility.
Through the first 5-plus
quarters of sub-state play, they
were playing like a team that
could compete with anyone in
Class 4A. But as well as they
play when they are hitting their
shots, they can struggle mightily on the offensive end when
shots arent dropping.
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
CHETOPA – Crest (#2 seed and
9-11) opened sub-state play by
taking on Argonia (#3 seed and
7-14) last Thursday in the second
round and came out on top 49-45.
Both teams had a bye in the first
round.
Argonia jumped out to an early,
hard fought 13-10 lead after the
first quarter. Crest answered the
challenge and kept the game tight
going into halftime by outpacing
Argonia 13-12 in the second.
Coming out of the locker room,
Argonia held a slim 25-23 lead.
Argonia extended the lead to 4
after holding a 9-7 lead in the
third period.
The Lancers finally got on
track offensively when it mat-
off for the Bulldogs. Iola would
hit two three-pointers down the
stretch and add a pair of baskets in the final 20 seconds of
the half to finish off a 12-0 run,
cutting the lead down to 30-27
heading into the locker room.
Halftime couldnt have come
soon enough for the Bulldogs.
Coming out after intermission,
they fell down for the first time
of the game, 31-30, just over a
minute into the period.
It appeared the Bulldogs
weathered the storm though.
They responded with a mini 7-2
run to take a 38-33 lead.
Iola was about to start another big run. The Mustangs would
score the next 11 points spanning the end of the third and
first half of the fourth quarter
to take a 44-38 lead.
Iola hit 12 of 17 free throws
in the fourth quarter to keep
AC just out of arms reach.
On the other end of the
court, the Bulldogs let the game
slip away in part to poor free
throw shooting. They hit just 3
of 8 free throws in the fourth,
including missing the front end
of a couple of one and ones at
key moments.
Hilliard was the only
Bulldog in double figures with
11 points.
Box Score
Iola (56) Latta 21, Mueller 2, Wallace

tered the most. Crest turned a 4point deficit into a 4-point victory
by putting up 19 fourth quarter
points.
Following the victory, Crest
advanced to the sub-state championship game and squared off
against host Chetopa High School.
Chetopa (17-4) was the top seed
and the only team at the site with
an above .500 record.
Crest fell 59-34 as Chetopa
advanced to State in Class 1A
Division II with the win.
The Crest (4-16) girls faced off
against Chetopa (7-13) and came
away with the victory in a 42-40
nail biter.
In the sub-state championship,
the Lancers couldnt have liked
their odds as their opponent was
Argonia (18-4), who cruised to an
easy 80-32 victory.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
OSAGE CITY Last Monday,
the 5th seeded Central Heights
Vikings (10-10) fell in the opening round of the sub-state tournament to 4th seeded Osage City
(16-4) by a final score of 47-46.
The Vikings were hot early on
and outscored Osage City 19-13
in the first period, but unfortunately that was far and away
their best quarter offensively.
Osage City clawed back in the
second quarter by limiting the
Vikings to just 7 points while
scoring 16 of their own to take a
29-26 lead into the locker room.
Central Heights wouldnt go
down without a fight though.
Following the third quarter, the
Vikings battled back to knot the
game at 37.
Osage City was able to win a
nail-biter by topping the Vikings
10-9 in the final period to hang
on for the one-point victory.
Osage City is good, Central
Heights coach Rusty Cannady
stated. (Its) not the way we
wanted it to end, but the kids
played well.
Its hard to say the right
things when the season is over,
especially to a group of young
men that are special in so many
ways, Cannaday said.
The loss was especially tough
because of the back and forth
nature of the game that led to
many ties and lead changes. The
team loses 6 Seniors and it was a
very difficult way for them to go
out.
We ask so much from these
kids during the games and lose
focus on the impact the kids will
have outside the lines, Cannady
said speaking of life after basketball.
There is not a bad apple on
the team and as coaches we are
blessed to have such great kids
to work with, he said.
Leading the way offensively
for the Vikings were seniors
Jordan Horstick with 19 points
and Tyler Hendron with 13
points.
Osage City went on to knock
off previously undefeated
Council Grove the following
game before falling in the SubState Championship game to
Wellsville.
Eric Small opened the game
for the Bulldogs by draining a
three-pointer just 30 seconds
into the game.
Iola quickly erased the early
deficit and led 6-3 before the
Bulldogs ended the first quarter on a 12-0 run to close out the
period leading 15-6. The final
six points of the run came on
back-to-back three-pointers by
Zach Hilliard to close out the
first.
The second quarter also
began with a bang for ACHS.
Spencer Walter joined the fun
by hitting a three of his own to
extend the lead to 18-6.
The lead ballooned to as
much as 30-15 after a pair of
free throws by Jacob Rundle
after he was run over setting a
screen.
This is when the wheels fell

GES goes Olympic
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 06-29-2010 / Photo Submitted
Garnett Elementary Schools physical education classes recently
completed a lesson on the Olympics, using some of the Olympic contests for inspiration. In these photos, students learned a version of the
bobsled competition.
Is your business game?
I bought a horse from a guy
once who had previously managed a restaurant and claimed
to have nearly doubled its sales
after he took over. How? One
of his biggest claims was he
made a game of the customers
check.
Ive remembered it for years
because it was an awesome
idea. When the customer came
up to the register to pay check,
Pete had a big roulette wheel
(think Wheel of Fortune
except standing upright) by
the register that the customer
got to pull. If it landed on the
free mark on the wheel, the
customer got his meal free.
He said it was a huge hit
immediately. People obviously
planned to pay their check
when they came to the restaurant in the first place, so no one
was really disappointed if they
didnt hit free. It wasnt like
they gambled off a mortgage
payment it was just a cool
game that cost nothing extra
and might pay off big.
On Petes end the odds of
someone hitting free were
clearly in his favor, so although
he occasionally had to pay off

with a free meal, the promotion more than paid for itself
in building renewal customers
and spreading word of mouth
advertising and good will.
Nowadays what Pete was
doing is called gamification
although the buzzword today
is aimed primarily at online
experience. You can still gamify
your business in the real world
though. A good example is a
player card which can be as
simple as a customized printed
business card punched for
every purchase. Ten purchases
gets you a free coffee, video
rental, oil change, etc.
If you have a computerized
point of sale system some of
them will track purchase promotions like this, and its a lot
better to remind the customer
at the time of purchase about
the coffee club benefit or
whatever who doesnt like
getting to the cash register and
realizing their purchase this
time is free?!
Customers love it, especially if you make it simple
and or handle it for them. They
remember you for it, and theyll
come visit you again.

discussion
The Garnett Public Library
will hold a book discussion
on Wednesday, March 26th
at 7 p.m. This months book
is After the Rain by Karen
White. Leading our discussion
will be Paulabeth Henderson.
From one of the best new
writers on the scene today
Karen White has written a
novel set in the picturesque
town of Walton, Georgia.
When photographer Suzanne
Paris lands in Walton, Georgia,
shes pretty sure shes never
seen a town so smallor quite
so disquieting. Its a far cry
from the life she left behind
and Joe Warner is nothing like
any man shes known in the
past. Hes the mayor, in the
first place, and in the second…
he has six children. Hardly a
picture-perfect boyfriend for a
woman whos on the run and
cant stick around.
The books are available for
checkout at the library. The
discussions are held the fourth
Wednesday of each month at 7
p.m. in the Archer Room at the
library. Notification is posted
in case of cancellation.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, March 11, 2014
1914: Boys find stolen goods
March 3, 2004
Construction will begin soon
on a $36 million ethanol plant
at the Golden Prairie Industrial
Park, but it may be 10 years
before local communities see
any property taxes from the
plant. Tax abatements for new
or relocating industries are
commonplace and often controversial. But the overriding
philosophy is that the economic
benefit of a new industry is
worth giving up the first several
years taxes as an incentive.
City and county officials hope
a plan to reconfigure a portion
of U.S. Highway 169 southeast of
Garnett as well as a city street
intersection can be negotiated
with the Kansas Department
of Transportation in time to be
ready when the EKAE ethanol
plant goes into production next
year. The overall aim would
be to reduce congestion on 169
near the entrance to Golden
Prairie Industrial Park. When
operational, the ethanol plant
will require a truckload of corn
or milo every hour around the
clock to meet its 25 million gallon production target.
March 10, 1994
After months of bureaucratic run-around involving
city zoning laws which eventually brought an amendment
on warehousing in certain
city areas, the developers of a
mini-storage unit on Garnetts
Fourth Avenue threw in the
towel Tuesday night and sold
the land to the city. Carla

Schulte, who with her brothers
Dan and Scott, originally hoped
to build a mini-storage facility on land she owns next to
her familys insurance and real
estate agency, sold the lot to the
city for $17,500. The lot is situated across the alley from city
government buildings, and has
been used in the past to park
some vehicles and machinery.

paraphernalia had been mandated to the Anderson County
District Court in December. The
charges stemmed from a search
of Walters property n July
1981, and subsequent conviction on the charges by a jury in
Anderson County District Court
in January 1982. On Jan. 13, a
sheriffs deputy testified that
he and Sheriff Don Hermreck,
who died in 1983, had crossed
a fence and conducted a search
of Walters property prior to
the issuance of the search warrant.
The snow storm that blanketed the southeastern portion

interruptions of electrical service in Colony, Lone Elm and
Kincaid.
March 6, 1914
This morning, three boys
Owen McMullin, Harold
Williams and Doard Murray
found a number of the artifacts stolen from the Clemans
Hardware Companys store
about a year ago. The boys were
playing about a culvert south of
West Eighth Avenue They were
under the culvert, on a tour of
investigation, and in prodding
about with sticks, found what
they first thought was a turtle,
but when they dug it out, they
found it was a package wrapped
in paper. Upon opening, the
package, the boys found a lot
of knives and scissors and a
razor. The boys notified Sheriff
Decker, who investigated the
package and found 56 knives,
a razor and 18 pairs of scissors.
Remembering that the Clemans
store had been burglarized
about a year ago, he took the
package to the store and Mr.
Clemans identified the articles
as part of the goods stolen from
the store. The price tags were
still on some of them. All of
the items were rusty, and all of
them unusable, though some of
the scissors are good as ever.

This so-called Monkey Wrench was found at a new dig site.
Dont monkey around with this
I would almost bet that the
majority of you can relate to
or identify this old antique.
This old wrench has
went by many names over
the years, the most popular being: pipe wrench, ford
wrench, monkey wrench and
often times as a knuckle
buster.
I have an 1897 Sears
Roebuck Catalog that identifies it as a Bemist & Calls
Pipe Wrench, combination
Nut and Pipe Wrench. You
could order one from this
catalog for $1.00 each and
an additional charge of $.05
for shipping and handling.
Actually for the year 1897
that was a lot of money.

A typical day for Rep. Jones Legistlators rush to pass bills during turnaround
Legislative
Legislative
Update
Update
by Rep. Kevin Jones
Feb. 26
A couple times this week I
have been asked what my typical
day is like while in session.
Well, session starts each mid
January and ends after the first
week of April, with a veto session which starts at the end of
April and takes about half of
May.
My schedule Monday was
pretty typical. I left the my house
in Wellsville by 6:45 a.m. and
arrived in Topeka just in time for
an 8:00 Calendar, which helps
each Representative know of, ask
questions about and discuss possible amendments and bills that
the Committee of the Whole
will consider that day.
Normally I go straight from
there to my first committee at
9:00Pensions and Benefits
and we will hear bills, and at a
later date, work bills
to pass to the floor. Many times
committee will
conclude by 10:30, and I will have
a lobbyist or a constituent to
meet with for 15 minutes before
I go on the floor of the House at
11:00.
After a prayer and the pledge
of allegiance, the House will
conduct the business of the day,
which can take as long or as
short as determined by the number of bills, amendments, discussion, and members stamina.
Most of the time we are done
by noon or 1:00 p.m., and we
get a lunch from a special interest group visiting the Capitol or
some place close by.
Health and Human Services
committee starts at 1:30 and
will normally be done around 33:30, giving just enough time for
another 15 minute meeting while
walking straight to my 3rd committee, Education Budget. The
committee chair tries to have
everything wrapped up there by
5:00, and if I do not need to finish
a newsletter or study for the next
day, Ill head home.
On that day, I left a little
late and headed straight to the
USD289 Board of Education meeting which lasted from 6:309:30
p.m. After that, I went straight
home, ate, packed eBay orders
until 12:50 a.m. and went to bed.
Mid-Way Point
This week the House and
Senate will spend a considerable amount of time on the floor
debating and voting on bills
introduced in their respective
chambers.
Bills, except exempt bills
(those in the Appropriations,
Taxation, and Federal and State
Affairs Committees), must have
passed the chamber of origin by
the end of Friday, February 28th,
which marks the official halfway
point of the 2014 session, or they
will not be considered this year.
After turnaround (the 28th),
legislation that has passed one
chamber will be sent to the other
chamber for consideration.
The long and difficult jour-
District 5
ney for a bill to become law is
by design. This process was
established a long time ago as an
effort to minimize the likelihood
that legislation that is not the
right thing for Kansas citizens,
or has unintended consequences, does not become law. Even
with the safeguards in place,
bills sometimes pass that need
to be repealed or tweaked in a
future session.
Giving College Students a
Tax Break (HB 2557)
Students enrolled in a public
or private postsecondary educational institution in Kansas
could get a sales tax refund on
purchases of required textbooks
if HB 2557 passes the Senate in
its current form. Under the measure, students would pay the tax
and then file for a refund for
the state portion of the sales tax
they paid. It is estimated that college students spent an average
of $660 per year on textbooks;
that would equate to a sales tax
refund of about $40.
Another provision in HB 2557
delays penalties for income tax
payers who mistakenly file an
incorrect tax return, provided
they filed the return on a timely basis and paid the indicated
tax liability in full. If they are
subsequently found to owe additional taxes, the taxpayer will
not be penalized so long as the
additional tax and interest are
paid within 30 days of receiving a notice from the Kansas
Department of Revenue of the
additional tax liability. HB 2557
passed the House 1220 and now
goes to the Senate.
A Note from Intern Nicholas
Allbritton
My intern this session,
Nicholas Nick Allbritton, had
his photo taken with Governor
Brownback last month.
Nicholas says: My experience
with Rep. Jones has been an
enjoyable one, going from the
House floor to committee rooms.
Life in the capital is a very fast
pace. There are a lot of things to
get accomplished in a very short
time.
Rep. Jones has given me a
front row seat on how the Kansas
Legislature and democracy
works. I thank him for the opportunity. The people of the 5th district of Kansas are fortunate to
have him representing them in
the Kansas Legislature.
Nicholas is a student at Kansas
State University in Manhattan
majoring in Political Science
and also serves in the Air Force
Reserve.
Feb. 28
This week in the legislature
was turnaround. During turnaround week, there is a push
to pass legislation. If in the
Senate if a bill is not from one of
three exempt committees in the
Senate, Federal and State Affairs,
Assessment and Taxation, or
Ways and Means, and it doesnt
pass the originating chamber, the
bill dies at turnaround. Several
bills died as a result of not being
passed by turnaround.
We heard some interesting
testimony regarding property
taxes. The statewide property
tax burden imposed by local governments has increased from
1997 to 2013 from $547.6 million to
$1.2 billion, which is an increase
of approximately 117%. If this
trend continues, the total property tax burden on Kansas families,
farmers and small businesses
will most likely double again over
the next decade.
Last year the legislature passed
into law a tax bill that would
allow county commissioners the
option to waive property taxes on
a property that was destroyed by
natural disaster. The law had a
one year sunset. This year, I was
a co-sponsor of Senate Bill (SB)
360 which would remove the sunset on the law passed last year.
This legislation would allow local
governments to provide relief on
property taxes in the event of
a disaster. The bill passed the
Senate on a vote of 40 to 0.
Senate Substitute for House
Bill (HB) 2070, establishes time
limits for decisions made by
district courts, Kansas Court of
Appeals, and the Kansas Supreme
Court. The bill would require
a decision on a trial be issued
within 120 days for district courts
and 180 days for the Court of
Appeals and the Supreme Court.
If a court does not issue a decision the court must give a reason
as to why a decision has not been
issued. I voted for the bill. It
passed 32-7.
There was consideration in
the Senate on a bill that would
increase the amount of campaign
contributions and lobbyist gifts
allowed to legislators. Many
senators, including myself, spoke
against the bill and as a result, it
was pulled from the calendar and
the bill did not come to the Senate
floor for debate.
In 2000, the state legislature
passed a measure prohibiting legislators from forming
Leadership PACs (Political Action
Committees). The intent of the
by Sen. Caryn Tyson
District 12
2000 legislature was to abolish all
existing leadership PACs, which
differ from standard PACs in that
they are able to raise unlimited
funds during the legislative ses-
sion, with no cap on the amounts.
The purpose of the original bill in
2000 was not fulfilled, as three of
these PACs were grandfathered
into current state ethic standards,
allowing them to remain in existence for over a decade. This
week the Senate passed SB 274,
which would uphold the intent of
the 2000 legislature and abolished
all existing Leadership PACs.
Currently, the States damages cap for medical malpractice
is at $250,000.
SB 311 would
increase the current damages
cap to $350,000 in an effort to
address concerns that the cap
has not been adjusted in several
years. The bill passed the senate
on a vote of 32-8. I supported the
increase.
SB 352 would require any new
appraiser to be fingerprinted.
The Federal government, Frank
Dodd legislation, requires new
appraisers to be fingerprinted. I
did not vote for this bill. It is just
another example of the Federal
government over-stepping into
State business. The final vote
was 28 Yes and 12 No votes.

Gods greatest gift
In a previous article I referred
to the woman who came to
Jesus while he was in a crowd
and from behind him touched
the edge of his cloak and was
healed.
In Romans 8:28 we read the
following words from the pen of
Paul the Apostle, And we know
that for those who love God all
things work together for good,
for those who are called according to his purpose. This is a
difficult text to separate from
the other verses around it but
I believe there is value in doing
that in this case.
First let me say I believe God
loves all people in spite of our
disobedience and sin. However
our text qualifies where God
works. He works for good in the
lives of those who love him.
This woman was called to
Jesus by virtue of her weakness through the Holy Spirit.
Contrary to the world view we
are actually the strongest when
we are the weakest. The woman
had exhausted all her resources
seeking a cure. She was at her
lowest point. The woman no
doubt had heard of Jesus and
perhaps listened to his teaching but to this point had effectively rejected him. Through
the power of the Holy Spirit
she receives the inner call from
God and is drawn to Jesus and
is healed when she touches the
edge of his cloak.
You see it is this inner call
that allows God through the
Holy Spirit to perform what
he intends. The pews in the
Weekly
Devotional
by David Bilderback
church are full of people who
receive the outer call from sermons and scriptures but reject
it for one reason or another.
They have a knowledge of God
but lack a love for God. This
is one of the main reasons the
church struggles.
So what does a love of God
which allows him to work in our
lives look like. It is a separation
of our life from the ungodly, the
unholy unto the Godly and the
Holy. In Isaiah 55:8 we read,
For my thoughts are not your
thoughts, neither are your ways
my ways declares the LORD.
What God is saying here is
in your natural state prior to
regeneration you cannot understand me. To attempt to do this
is to attempt to bring God out of
heaven down to our level.
We are called according to
the purpose of God not our purpose. God is at work in your
life and mine. Through the
regeneration of our heart God
works in our lives changing our
thoughts and ways to match
his. What greater gift could one
receive than the call of God.
