THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Health care plays
a critical role in rural commu-
efforts to make people aware of
the need for a new hospital. But
the report itself includes a variety of information about how
health services interact with
rural communities, specifically
in Anderson County.
For example, people who
work in health services add
about $19.9 million to the local
economy, either directly or indirectly, through their salaries.
Another $4.9 million is added to
the economy from retail sales
related to health care.

building, primarily because the
report specifically addresses
the economic impact of health
care in Anderson County and
compares it to the state and
nation.
Changes in health care
impact rural communities
differently than larger cities,
according to the report. Rural
communities have larger populations of older adults and
children, both groups that have
greater need for health care.
Rural communities also tend
to have larger segments of the
populations who are poor or
low-income, making it more

about a report he prepared
for the district to examine its
finances and trends.
The study is particularly
important in light of recent
state budget cuts that have
reduced the amount of money
provided for education. Parsons
said it does not appear as if
things are going to get better for
districts, so it helps to have an
examination of areas where a
district can use its money more
efficiently.

March 7. ACJSHS principal
Kenny Kellstadt met with board
members to discuss the pros
and cons of block scheduling.
Under the current block system,
adopted around 2005, students
attend four 87 minute classes
each day, alternating classes
every other day on red and
white days. In a seven-hour
schedule, students will attend
seven classes about 50 minutes
long, Monday through Friday.
But block scheduling is more
expensive because it requires
more teachers than a traditional seven-hour class schedule.

Kansas Highway Patrol officers arrested two Missouri men after an attempted bank robbery that led to a vehicle chase and
shootout that ended on K-7 Highway north of Mound City Wednesday, March 6.
Bank robbery attempt ends with shootout, arrest
Good Samaritan
helped officers
catch up to men
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
KINCAID The efforts of an
unnamed Good Samaritan
likely was instrumental in
the arrest of two would-be
bank robbers last week, but
Sheriff Vern Valentine cautioned that following criminal suspects can be very
dangerous.
Two men were arrested
Wednesday, March 6, after
a failed robbery attempt at
Citizens National Bank in
Kincaid – the second failed
robbery attempt on the bank
in about two years. Last
weeks attempt ended with
a shootout between the suspects and law enforcement,
and the men were arrested
in Linn County after one of
them was slightly injured.
The man who was identified
as the passenger suspected
of shooting at officers was
identified by law enforcement Daniel Lee Waddell,
28 of LaRussell, Mo. Also
arrested was the man suspected of driving the vehicle,
Stephen Michael Hudson,
32, Webb City. Mo.
The Kincaid bank was
robbed in 2007, and the suspects were never captured.
But after the 2007 robbery,
the bank installed security
measures that prevented a
robbery in December 2011,
when a man wearing a skeleton mask attempted to break
into the bank. The man fled
and was not captured.
On Wednesday, someone
tried to break into the bank
again. The man was seen
shaking the door, trying to
get into the bank, and someone saw he had a gun. The
man fled in a white Dodge
Durango.
A bank customer, identified only as a Good
Samaritan, saw what happened, left the bank and
followed the Durango north
from Kincaid. The Good
Samaritan stayed on the
phone with dispatchers,
relaying the Durangos position so law officers could
catch up to the vehicle.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 03-12-2013 / Vickie Moss
presented a report to the district Thursday, March 7.
When voters approved a new
elementary school in November
2010, they also approved a
laundry list of improvements
to each school in the district.
Last on the list to be completed:
Another driveway out of the
back parking lot at Anderson
County Jr./Sr. High School.
Administrators have been
looking at options to make the
driveway proposal a reality and
have faced several stumbling
blocks, Superintendent Don
Blome told board members at
the boards regular meeting
Thursday, March 7. The district
will need to finish the driveway project by next December
in order to meet qualifications
from the voter-approved bond
issue.
The most likely option now
will be to build a perpendicular
road on district-owned property on the northeast side of the
school, connecting to Cleveland
Street. A civil engineer will
need to review the property and
present options to the district,
but its likely the access road
will be a one-way drive that
could include additional parking. Blome said it is too early
to know what the project may
entail.

met with the commission. Discussion
was held on the money that is to be
paid by St. Lukes to the county if the
bond election passes. There is nothing
to say the county has to use that money
to make the bond payment. James suggested that money from the hospital be
put into an account that is created for the
bond payment. The state could pull the
payment directly from that account. He
is working on the tax sale and several

use. He is needing to order about $900
of ammunition in the next week as the
supply is about completely depleted. He

about half of them do. Brandon Jones,
County Attorney, reported court is going
well and they are changing the way a lot
of things are done.

similarly sized districts. Parsons
outlined a few key areas where
the district could potentially
save money:
Transportation. Districts
that use contracted bus services
tend to pay more than districts
that manage their own service.
Parsons data came from several
years leading up to last year,
the 2011-2012 school year. USD
365 voted recently to take over
its own transportation service,
anticipating about $100,000 in
savings.
Student-teacher ratio. USD
365 schools have a much lower
student-teacher ratio than districts that are similarly sized.
While that is a strong point to
attract students to the district,
it also shows that the district
has a significantly higher payroll than similarly sized districts, Parsons said. Its kind
of a Catch-22, he said. Districts
need to increase enrollment in
order to get more money from
the state, and low studentteacher ratios are appealing to
families that may want to join
the district. On the other hand,
it costs more to maintain a low
student-teacher ratio. The new
elementary school at Garnett,
however, may make a difference
in that area, he said.
Declining enrollment.
Enrollment in USD 365 peaked
in 2006-2007 with a high of
1130.7 students. It has fallen
since then, down to 1046.8 in
2011-2012. That is a significant

difficult to afford health insurance and pay for services. At the
same time, quality health care
options are not as readily available in smaller communities,
adding more pressure on people
who cannot travel to seek health
care or cannot afford the cost of
traveling for health care.
Even among people who
can afford quality health care,
such as some retirees, 60 percent said health services were a
must have when considering
a retirement location.
Anderson County, like
many rural communities, has
a significant older population.
People age 65 and older make
up about 18.5 percent of the
population. At the other end of
the spectrum, people age 19 and
younger make up the largest
portion of the population, with
28.1 percent. That means nearly
half of the countys population,
or 46.6 percent, are the most in
need of health care and least
able to actively participate in
the workforce.
The county also has a higher percentage of people who
receive government assistance
through food stamps, cash
assistance or Medicare. About
21.9 percent of the countys residents were eligible for Medicare
in 2007, significantly higher
than the state average of 14.8.
About 9.3 percent of families
receive food stamps, more than
the state average of 7.4, and
another 1.7 percent receive cash
assistance, also more than the
state average of 1.1.
In addition to the need for
health care services, the report
also examined the economic
impact of health care on the
community. About 10 percent
of the countys available work
force have jobs in health care
services ranging from hospital employees to doctors, dentists and veterinarians. Again,
Anderson County relies more
heavily on health care than
other areas of the state. While
the county employees 10.1 percent in health care, the state
average is 8.7. Health services
ranks fifth in county employment, behind general services
(26 percent), agriculture (17
percent), trade (15 percent) and
government (14 percent).
The impact of health care on
the economy creates a ripple
effectas dollars that are spent
locally are re-spent for other
goods and services. The report
says that, in general, for every
dollar spent in the health care
industry, another 66 cents of
economic activity is created.
Nationally, the changes in
health care are expected to
make it one of the fastest growing sectors in the economy.
Health costs, however, could
continue to escalate and government funding could be reduced,
which could make rural health
care markets less attractive to
providers, the report said. The
end result likely will be restructuring of health care services in
rural communities.
If a community wants to
maintain the benefits associated with accessible and affordable health care, it must actively
work to meet these challenges,
the report said. The challenges cannot be met by those
directly responsible for health
care administration alone. They
require a community-wide
response involving government,
business and civic leaders, and
they frequently incorporate
outside assistance from professional resource providers …

President Obamas recent closing of

famed sequester expense reductions should

Houses written correspondence – that their

to the White
House tours while
the behemoth of
ridiculous federal
spending remains
unscathed under
the sequester is yet
another should-be
bellwether moment
to be ignored by
the bulk of lowinformation voters
by Dane Hicks,
who elected him.
PUBLISHER
But the sun may be
rising, as now even the liberals in the media
who coddled him through two elections
are questioning the veracity of his sky is
falling drama in the waning days of the
sequester deadline and the fact that after it,
nothing much seems to have changed.
Could it be despite the Presidents wailing
to the contrary, that there is fat – layers and
layers of unneeded federal spending – without which the nation can… survive?
In fact, hand wringing over ending the
tours of the White House was about the
only way to illustrate to the country that
the sequester had happened at all. Warnings
of huge delays at the nations airports due
to a reduction in control tower staff were
loud and ominous… and never happened. No
slow down in federal hiring was discernible
either; in fact on March 4, the first business
day after sequestration, no fewer than 606
new federal jobs were posted on usajobs.
com. Are all those jobs critical to the mission of the federal government? How about
a position as director of history and museums policies program for the U.S. Air Force,
at a salary of between $143,000 and $163,000
per year? How about the hiring of a social
media management service (yes, someone
actually makes a living teaching the government how to use Facebook and Twitter) for
the Food and Drug Administration? Or a
pair of West Coast conferences for mangers
within the U.S. Department of Agriculture
that include, among other things, wine and
food tastings?
Yet one of the primary areas President
Obama can find to satisfy the sequestration
expense reductions is to cease public tours
of the White House? His theatrical poppycock may have finally backfired.
What has not yet been widely discussed
is the fact that this initial round of expense
cuts is only the beginning. The law that
mandates sequestration is a 10-year program of automatic expense cuts that get
deeper each year. Yes, well be hearing
about this for years hence, unless Obama
convinces House Republicans to repeal the
legislation.
And thats something that, despite being
pegged by Change-drunk spenders as the
party of no, the GOP House should never
do.
Indeed, the forced cuts through sequestration may be the only way to arrive at substantial spending reductions within the federal government – something U.S. markets
and the rest of the world need desperately
to see in order to regain confidence in the
U.S. economy. Without a resumption of that
confidence long term, there is no way out
of the economic malaise that still plagues
the country as the very real U.S. Great
Recession crawls on through its fifth year.
The contrast is clear between the new
America of Change in which few pay and
many receive, and the financial realities
that hamper the U.S. economys ability to
support that nanny state. The budget fat of
the ominous federal government runs deep,
and the liposuction of sequestration may
in the end be the only way to reduce the
immensity of its girth.
I was just reading in this past weeks Review
where the city manager was bragging about
the rec center and saying there was 94 city
employees going to it which were paying
for. So how many employees does the city
really have? Wasnt it just five years ago that
we had 62 employees? This 93 is a 52 percent
increase over that. Whats going on? Is all of
our money going to employees who arent
doing anyting? Because you cant see an
increase of improvements here in Garnett
from the 62. Id like to know just exactly how
many employees we got, you can probably
cut out a bunch of them too.
The unpopular party
BY RICH LOWRY
NATIONAL REVIEW
It is not just the winter of Republican discontent. It will in all likelihood be the spring,
summer and fall, as well.
The national party is leaderless and nearly
issueless, but besides that, is thriving and in
fine fighting trim.
Once, taxes and national
security were the partys
pillars, supplemented by
domestic issues like welfare reform and crime and
by symbolic issues like the
Pledge of Allegiance and
flag burning. Now, the pillars are in disrepair.
Lowry
Cuts in income taxes
dont have the same resonance because rates are so much lower than
30 years ago. Republicans formerly had success with across-the-board tax cuts that
reduced rates at the top and for everyone
else. By focusing on raising rates on the top,
Obama has forced them into almost exclusively defending tax cuts for the rich.
In theory, national security is still a
Republican strength, but it doesnt have as
much resonance as in the years after Sept.
11.
The latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal
poll has Democrats leading on: looking out
for the middle class, Medicare, health care,
reducing gun violence, Social Security, immigration, taxes and the economy. The good
news for Republicans is that they lead on
everything else. The bad news is that everything else is only spending, the deficit and
national security.
The problem with the deficit as an issue
is that people care about economic growth
more, and the problem with spending cuts
is that people like them more in the abstract
than in reality.
At times, we have a $16 trillion debt
seems the sum total of the partys argumentation. When party leaders say that they have
to become the party of growth again, the
policy they invariably advance to that end …
is reducing the $16 trillion debt.
This necessary, but hardly sufficient message is almost all we hear from Republicans in
Congress, where their majority in the House
gives them responsibility without decisive
influence. The House Republicans mainly
have blocking power. Woe to the republic if
they didnt. But if you block things, youre
easily labeled an obstructionist, and wouldnt
you know it, people dont like obstructionists.
Their only hope to deflect the nation from
its profligate budgetary path is confrontations
coinciding with key fiscal inflection points,
like the March 1 deadline for the sequester.
They always ride into these fights badly outgunned.
This wont change soon. It is too early
to have a presidential candidate or even a
presidential field, so the GOP lacks a head and
therefore a unified voice.
Of course, it wasnt long ago that Democrats
seemed to be in dire straits. The party agonized over appealing to values voters after
2004. Little did they know that eight years
later, they would run a successful re-election
campaign on limitless abortion and free contraception.
Events will again take a hand, as they
always do. And since last falls election, top
Republicans from Bobby Jindal to Marco
Rubio have been talking about a more breadand-butter economic agenda. Fleshing that
out, though, is a longer-term proposition. In
the meantime, Republicans should prepare
themselves for more discontent.

I want to talk about the Anderson County
Hospital. When I was 15 my grandmother
Mymie had a stroke. It happened in the summer so I had the privilege of going to the
hospital in the afternoon and sitting with
her, my beloved Mymie. I vividly remember
thinking what a nice place for Mymie to
spend her last days. Fast forward to 1950,
when my babies were born. I still think
about what a great place it was for me to
have and stay with my babies. Fast forward
to 2010 when I had reason to visit the hospital. Folks the hospital and I have had a
long relationship but now we are very tired.
Someone provided a hospital for you and me.
Now its our turn. Thank you.
Comments on the hospital. We keep hearing
and seeing how much it will cost to repair
our 60 year-old facility. Why was it worth
remodeling a few years ago and where do
you get this repair information? Who is telling you what it will cost for repairs? Is this
a local, qualified repairman or somebody
from Timbuktu who doesnt know what hes
talking about but just guessing?
The igloo on Oak Street is awesome. Thanks
for building it. You made my day.
Hi, I wanted to say I was very proud of the
Anderson County student section and crowd
tonight at the 4A substate tournament at
Fort Scott which Anderson County won.
They exemplified outstanding sportsmanship by being silent while Fort Scott was
shooting their free throws, as opposed to
the Fort Scott student section who yelled
and screamed during the shooting of all of
Anderson County players free throws. Its
clear to see we have quality kids. So great job
Anderson County Bulldogs. Well see you at
the state tournament while Fort Scott stays
home and sits on their butts.
Why do we have to pay for Mrs. Obama
traveling to all these places, plus bodyguards
and all extras and we have to pinch every
penny we get? Does that sound fair to you?
Id like for her to walk in my run-down shoes
for a day.
(Editors note: The Phone Forum will institute a moratorium on comments pro or con
regarding the Anderson County Hospital
facility vote after the March 12 edition of the
paper. Supporters or opponents can contact
our advertising department after that edition at (785) 448-3121 to purchase political
advertising if they so choose.)
There is absolutely no question on the hospital vote. The Anderson County Hospital is
vital to this entire county. Not only the biggest employer but a big utility user and the
best health care. We are grateful to be a part
of Saint Lukes Health System. What a great
partnership, they are offering to pay 2/3 of
the cost of a new building, plus money for
equipment, and maintenance. Anyone with
business sense at all would say no brainer.
What a great investment for the taxpayers
of this county. We must keep our hospital,
doctors and 195 jobs. Our hospital draws out
of county persons that spend money while
in town, putting money in our coffers. If this
does not happen, it will be a sad day. You
will be driving out of town for all doctor
appointments, and I dont want to do that
and neither do you. As we get older we will
be dependent on others for those drives. The
physical condition has been studied by four
companies since 2008 with the same results,
its on its last leg. It will cost the taxpayers 3
times more to repair, plus down time at the
hospital, Thanks to Saint Lukes for offering their big help in building a new facility
that last us and our kids for a long time. If
you would like to tour, call the hospital and
they will let you see the shocking problems.
Please vote yes and help us move into the
next 60 years.
Theres such a thing called the Sunset Law
which means when a certain project is paid
for then the tax would stop. I dont recall
reading a anything about a sunset law for
the jail, the school or the hospital. Does
that mean were going to continue to pay
the taxes once those are built? I dont recall
reading that. Thank you.

assault that do not rise to the
level of rape until the victim
turns 28. SB 167 increases the
statute of limitations for such
sexual assault on adult victims
from five to ten years. The bill
preserves current law, which
enables the prosecution of sex
offenders any time law enforcement uncovers new DNA evidence linking a suspect to the
sexual assault.
SB 149 would require recipients of Temporary Assistance
for Needy Families (TANF commonly referred to as welfare benefits) and unemployment payments to undergo drug
testing if there is reasonable
suspicion they are using illegal
substances. The bill prohibits
individuals who fail a drug test
from receiving state TANF benefits or unemployment benefits
until they have completed drug
treatment and job skill training programs provided by the
Kansas Department of Family
and Children (DCF, formally
Kansas Department of SRS). A
second failed drug test would
result in additional treatment
and training, and prohibit the
recipient from receiving benefits for one year. Recipients
who fail a third drug test are
permanently suspended from
receiving state taxpayer assistance. Existing federal TANF
funds would cover the treatment programs required for
recipients in SB 149. Although
individuals who fail the drug
test would not qualify to receive
state government assistance, a
drug-free third-party would be
able to receive and administer
TANF funds for qualifying children. SB 149 would require
potential employers who drug
test to report job applicants to
the Department of Labor who
fail or refuse to take a drug test
as part of the hiring process.
Sub for SB 57 was proposed
by the Kansas Department of
Agriculture which included
a number of changes impacting the Department of Animal
Health. After consideration
of each competent of the bill,
the Senate Committee on
Agriculture removed several
of the provisions to discuss
at a later date, including the
inspection of dog kennels and
trainers. The bill, as amended,
would require all tests of chronic waste to be conducted in laboratories in a method approved
by the U.S. Department of
Agricultures (USDA) Animal
Plant Health Inspection Service.
The bill would amend existing
law regarding domesticated
deer to state it is unlawful for
any person to possess domesticated deer without a permit
issued by the Animal Health
Commissioner.
SB 171 would amend the
Kansas Uniform Financial
Accounting and Reporting Act.
The bill would require each
school district and the Kansas
Department of Education
to report, on their respective
websites, a budget summary
for the current school year,
as well as actual expenditures
for the immediately preceding two school years to illustrate amounts spent per pupil
and to show per-pupil revenue
amounts received by the school
district from local, state, and
federal tax dollars. The bill
passed 40 to 0.
The Senate worked SB 63 that
would change existing crimes
and create new crimes relating
to elections. The bill includes:
Making it a crime in the state of
Kansas to vote more than once;
Granting the Kansas Secretary
of State prosecutorial authority
for election crimes; Amending
current statue to prohibit or
require certain actions regarding to voter fraud with advance
voting; Amending election bribery laws to add exemption for a
business or organization that
provides a product worth less
than $3 to any person who has
voted, such as a I voted sticker; Increasing the severity level
of the crime of election tampering; Clarifying the crime of
false impersonation of a voter
can occur by representing oneself as another person whether
real or factious; Amending
the declaration signed by voters to read …in the election
held on this date, in this or
any other jurisdiction in the
United States, for any offices
or ballot issues.; Prohibits
the Office of the Secretary of
State from operating a Political
Action Committee (PAC) that
contributes to candidates for
office. The bill passed on a vote
of 31 to 9.
The Senate debated SB
199 that would establish the
Midwest Stem Cell Therapy
Center at the University of
Kansas Medical Center. After
compelling testimony from the
Senate President in support of
the bill, herself and her son
being cancer survivors, the
debate quickly ended. The
Center would focus on scientific

My ways, thoughts without
Gods guidance are wrong
In the past few articles we
have examined the characteristics and attributes of God.
There are characteristics and
attributes that God has communicated to his creatures
and there are those which God
retains.
In Isaiah 55:8-9 the LORD
declares; For my thoughts
are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my
ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your
thoughts.
Isaiah chapter 55 puts forth
the compassion of God. In this
chapter God uses the human
desires for food and water as a
paradox illustrating that what
he (God) offers is more satisfying than food and water
and is free. We certainly cannot deny the desire and need
for food and water. They are
fundamental to our existence.
What God is saying is our
Weekly
Devotional
by David Bilderback
mind understands the need
for food and water but we lack
understanding of our need for
spiritual food and water. God
addresses this in Isaiah 55:23 when he says, Listen diligently to me, and eat what is
good, and delight yourselves
in rich food. Incline your ear
and come to me; hear that
your soul may live and I will
make with you an everlasting
covenant.
If we do not incline our ear
to God we will never get the
spiritual food he offers. We
will continue to try and satisfy
our human desire for food and
water only. Our lives can come
down to the point where we
only live to satisfy our fleshly desires. At this point our
ways do not resemble Gods
ways and our thoughts do not
resemble Gods thoughts.
God issues an invitation
in Isaiah 55:1 when he says;
Come. God does not require
we get special permission or
we meet certain criteria. He
simply issues the invitation. I
could never say I understand
Gods thoughts and ways. I
can say however God has
shown me how misguided and
shortsighted my thoughts are
and how wrong my ways are.
It is comforting to me that God
knows everything about me
and will never overlook anything that concerns me. It is
enough to know that my ways
and thoughts without the
guidance of God are wrong.

History Sketches
In 1870 the L.L.& G.
Railroad was finished to
the south line of Anderson
County, the town of Welda
was located on its north line.
Another station was located
and called Divide. Later it was
changed to Colony as a colony
of people was organized back
east, settled at Divide, changing the name to Colony. It
happens that Colony marks
the highest point upon this
line of railroad.
The first house in Colony
was built by J. J. Fairbanks in
the winter of 1872.
In April 1884 there were
twenty firms engaged in business in Colony, beginning
with T. L. Elliott, general
merchandise and ending with
Colony Free Press.
In 1881 the U.S. Census
gives the following population
in Anderson County: Ozark
Township, 2,144, of which
Colony had 142. Total population of Anderson County was
8,574.

KOFO 1220 AM
KANSAS HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Your legislators have been
working hard and fast over
the last couple of weeks to get
as many needed bills passed
before turn-around.
Turnaround is when all of the bills
passed by the House go to the
Senate and all of the bills from
the Senate come to be worked
by the House. I am writing
this update during our turnaround recess which is a break
to allow support staff to work
through and process the bills
passed this past week. It has
afforded a good breather
before I go back to Topeka and
begin work on the bills passed
out by the Senate.
Here are a couple of bills
that the house passed out last
week:
One is HB 2221, referred to
as the Equal Access Act, passed
the House by a vote of 71 to 53
and modifies the Professional
Negotiations Act. The bill
requires all local school boards
of education to give equal access
for all professional employees
physical or electronic mailboxes, and allows equal access
for all professional employees
associations to attend new
teacher or employee school orientations and other meetings.
Local school boards would also
not be allowed to designate any
day or breaks in a school year by
naming or referring to the name
of any professional employees
association. Additionally, current law would be amended by
the bill to expand the definition of professional employees organizations to include
those existing for the purpose
of professional development or
liability protection.
Essentially, this bill serves
to ensure that all organizations
that offer services for teachers are afforded equal access
to the teachers in Kansas. A
school board would not be able
to give exclusive access to its
teachers to one organization or
another. This will better provide that teachers are aware of
all the resources available to
them, particularly with regards
to professional development
and liability protection. This
bill is now headed to the Senate
for further consideration and
action.
The second is HB 2025
which passed the House by a
vote of 123 to 0 establishing
the Robert G. (Bob) Bethell
Joint Committee on Home and
Community Based Services and
KanCare Oversight. The committee would be made up of
eleven members of the legislature and would be required to
AD
1×2
meet at least three times when
the legislature is in session and
at least once during each of the
second, third, and fourth calendar quarters. This committee
would provide oversight of the
administration of KanCare by
those accountable to the people,
elected members of the legislature.
According to this bill, state
agencies would be required to
provide to the committee data
and information on KanCare
programs, including pay for
performance measures, quality
measures and enrollment and
disenrollment in specific plans,
KanCare provider network date,
and appeals and grievances
made to the KanCare ombudsman. The committee would
then be required to submit
its own report to President of
the Senate, the Speaker of the
House, the House Committee
on Health and Human Services,
and the Senate Committee on
Public Health and Welfare. It
would also be able to introduce
legislation as deemed necessary
in performing its function. The
bill is now headed to the Senate
for further consideration and
action
A bill to be watching for is HB
2271. It would move all city and
school board elections from the
spring of odd-numbered years
to the fall of even-numbered
years to coincide with national,
state, and county elections and
it would make school board
elections all at-large rather
than by member districts. The
intention of this bill is to get
more voters out to the local and
county elections. The trouble
is that it could be confusing,
make all races partisan, and
could actually cost more money
rather than save.
I have to admit the last couple of weeks have been an eyeopener. The House is working hard to keep this session
within the allotted 90 days (80
if possible) by quickly putting
out as much good work as possible, but we were not counting
on snow days. Things should
slow down a little as the House
begins working the bills that
the Senate is sending over, but
I would suspect it will not slow
down much.
I will be available for
Listening Sessions to visit
with constituents on these dates
at these locations:
March 23, Garnett, at the
Coffee Loft from 730-830am.
(Tentatively)
March 30, Ottawa, at City
Hall from 1000-1100am.
April 6, Colony, at the
Country Diner from 800-900am.
April 13, Parker, at the One
Stop from 730-830am.
Please come and join me,
and have a conversation on
the issues! If you have a concern, question, or just want to
know your Kansas Legislature
Representative better, my intention is to be available to you.
Kevin Jones represents
District 5 in the Kansas House
of Representatives.

LOCAL
AC, Crest fall in
first rounds at state
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
SALINA – Hopes were high
for Anderson County High
School and Crest boys basketball squads last week for their
performances in their respective state tournaments, but
first-round losses for both the
Bulldogs and Lancers sent
everyone home before the
champions were crowned on
Saturday.
Anderson County faced second-ranked Ottawa in 4A and
fell 76-44 in the opening round
matchup on Wednesday. Ottawa
went on to waltz through a 73-49
win over Andale and upset firstseeded Topeka-Highland Park
in the 54-45 final. The Cyclones
finished the season undefeated
at 25-0. Anderson County was
17-6 going into the state tournament.
The 5th-seed Crest Lancers
took a tumble as well in their
first-round 1A Division II contest with Sharon Springs. Crest
was 17-6 coming into the tournament and 4th-seeded Sharon
Springs was 18-5. Sharon
Springs topped the Lancers 7262 but fell to first-seeded Fowler
(23-0) 75-63 on Saturday. Fowler
was dumped 65-56 in the championship upset by Axtell, which
was ranked 7th and came to the
tournament 16-8.
In girls 4A Wamego beat
McPherson for the state title
60-53. Girls 3A saw Burlington
come out over Garden Plain 5242, while in the boys division
Scott City topped Humboldt
74-55. In girls 1A DII Ingalls
defeated Norwich 37-22.

SHOOTOUT…
FROM PAGE 1A
At one point, one of the suspects
fired a gun at the Samaritan.
He backed off, and law enforcement officers caught up to the
Durango in Linn County. At
one point, a suspect fired at
the pursuing officers, striking a
Kansas Highway Patrol vehicle
in the center of the front windshield. The vehicle eventually
stopped on K-7 Highway north
of Mound City, and the suspects
had a short gunfire exchange
with officers. One of the men
was hit with what likely was
shrapnel or glass, ending the
gunfire. The men were arrested
and taken to Linn County after
the injured suspect was treated
for minor injuries. A representative from the sheriffs department refused to provide identification for the suspects.
Valentine said the case will be
handled by the Federal Bureau
of Investigation because of the
many complicated factors it
involved two counties, involved
a potential bank robbery, and it
involved someone shooting at a
citizen and at law enforcement.
Because the case was turned
over to the FBI, Valentine said
he has few details about any
potential charges or suspect
information.
When they were arrested,
the men were found to be armed
with a handgun, a shotgun and
an assault rifle, Valentine said.
The work of the Good
Samaritan helped law enforcement find the suspects, but
Valentine said it is very dangerous to follow someone who
has committed or is attempting
to commit a crime. After all,
the Samaritan did get shot at,
Valentine said.
Instead of following the
vehicle, Valentine recommends
someone who witnesses a crime
should take note of the surroundings, especially paying
attention to a physical descrip-
BLOCK…
FROM PAGE 1A
Most schools have abandoned
the block system, Kellstadt said.
If USD 365 is forced to cut teachers because of financial issues,
it will be forced to go back to a
seven-hour schedule. The district had seen a trend toward
declining enrollment, although
enrollment was stable for the
2012-2013 year. But if enrollment continues to decline and
the state continues to make cuts
to education, USD 365 very likely will face significant financial
pressure in the coming years.
Kellstadt said its likely the
high school will switch to a
seven-hour schedule. The question was whether to do that next
year, or wait another year and
better prepare for the transition. In the end, the board decided to wait until the 2014-2015
school year to make the switch.
Block scheduling has been
controversial since board members first adopted it several
years ago. Some students and
teachers like it, some dont. It
gives students the opportunity
to take more classes eight
instead of seven and gives
them more time to complete
homework since classes meet
every other day. On the other
hand, some teachers and stu-
dents prefer the opportunity to
reinforce lessons by having the
same class every day.
Switching to a seven-hour
day will bring its own set of
challenges, Kellstadt said. For
example, students now must
pass a minimum of 29 credit
hours to graduate. With a sevenhour system, they can only take
28 credit hours. Administrators
will need to adjust that requirement.
School administrators also
will need to figure out a way to
schedule passing time between
classes so that junior high students and high school students
are not in the halls at the same
time. Under the block schedule,
that wasnt an issue because
junior high students were on a
seven-hour system and classes
never overlapped. But parents
have an expectation that the
school should limit the amount
of time junior high and high
school students interact, and it
is important to continue to do
so, Kellstadt said.
It also is unknown how a new
vocational training program for
welding through Neosho County
Community College will fit into
the schedule. That program
begins in the fall of 2013.

Those security features have

Hey you dummies. How smart
do you have to be to vote yes
for a new hospital when somebody else is going to pay for twothirds of it? This may be the
easiest question and the best
deal you ever get.
Where are the storm shelters
located at in Garnett?
This about the hospital. While
people here in Garnett are pushing so hard to get a new hospital
I wonder if people know that
with the Medicaid switch to
Kancare is not being accepted at
the Anderson County Hospital?
They are refusing to take all
three of the Kancare insurances. What does this mean? It
means as an older woman on
a fixed income I have to leave
Garnett and my local doctor
and drive to Paola and use their
hospital because they will take
my insurance. Check it out. Its
the truth and most people arent
even aware of it.
Id like to know how this family on 7th Street, kids are not
in school, how are they getting
away with this when if it was
somebodys elses family theyd
be in trouble? Does this mean
I can keep my kids home next
year and not enroll them in
school. To me this is kind of
messed up. Somebody needs to
check into it.
If were going to build a new
hospital in Anderson County,
why dont we build a no frills
hospital without the fancy exterior? Why are we building a
nursing home at taxpayers cost?
Shouldnt that be built by a private industry that would put it
on the tax roll? Why should me
as (deleted) resident pay for a
nursing home for other people
to live in. Let the city richie-rich
or the hospital administrator
build that nursing home. Put it
on the tax roll. Lets build a no
frills hospital. Geter done.
I totally agree with the person
who would like to see a sales
tax and therefore everyone will
help pay for the new hospital.
There are people in Anderson
County who are first in line
for anything free, from meals
to hospital care, that have no
intention of working or paying
for anything. Thank you.

ACHS wrestlers wrap up season, state
BY JASON BROWN
ACHS HEAD WRESTLING COACH
On Thursday, February 21,
the AC Bulldogs wrestling team
left for a treacherous trip to
Salina in the face of the snowstorm hoping to be ahead of the
storm, we made it safely and
spent two days snowed in the
Ramada Inn before the wrestling began. Lee Koch, Blade
Marmon, and Dallas Cox all
had dreams of standing on the
podium after the end of the
weekend, unfortunately that
would not be the case as all
three fell short of their goals.
Wrestling at 106lbs for the
Bulldogs was Blade Marmon, a
freshman with a record of 25-15
heading into the tournament;
Blade was paired against Jake
Goldstein of Augusta (39-0).
Goldstein scored a quick takedown and put Blade on his back
for a fall, pushing Marmon to
the backside of the bracket.
Blade then faced Caleb Sare
of Smokey-Valley, falling once
again by pin. Blade finished
the year 25-17 overall, an outstanding record for a ninth
grader, the coaching staff is
very excited about this young
mans potential. He is one of
the toughest kids on the mat,
assistant Coach Mike Belshe
stated, he is only going to get
tougher!
Dallas Cox headed into the
tourney with a 27-17 record and
was paired against the eventual State Champion Trevor
Whittaker of Smokey-Valley
(40-1). In a tough match Dallas
fought till the third period
before being pinned. Dallas fell
to the backside of the bracket to
face Mark Harman of Baldwin
(31-22) where he jumped out
to a quick takedown near the
edge of the mat. Picking neutral in the second period Cox
once again took Harman to
the mat for a quick two-points,
but was quickly reversed to his
back ending his season by fall.
Dallas will be back again next
year for his senior season, having this season and the experience of qualifying for state will
only bring success next year.
Dallas will bring leadership
in practice just by example,
he is a spark-plug in the wrestling room, said Coach Belshe,
qualifying will only make him
more determined next year to
place.
Finishing out the Bulldog
state wrestlers was Lee Koch at
182lbs wrapping up an impressive season breaking the ACHS
single-season wins record
finishing with 43-9 record as
well as breaking the single-season points record with 226.5
points. Koch faced off against
Wright Bosley of August (23-8).
After a scoreless first period
Lee took Bosley down twice in
the second period as scoring
near-fall points at the end of
the period winning the match
7-3. Eventually State Runnerup, Colton Cooper of Goodland
(33-14) was next for Koch, again
it was a scoreless first period
and a second period with Koch
being unable to escape from
Cooper. In the third Cooper
escaped and took Koch down
to win the match 3-0, knocking Lee to the backside of the
bracket. On Saturday it was
Luke Carey of Tonganoxie (2815) who jumped on a takedown
in the first period on Koch to
lead 2-0 going into the second.
Koch then put Carey on his
back three times to score 7
points before pinning him in
the third. Beau Brown of Colby
(32-14) eventually knocked Lee
out of the tournament in the
next round defeating him 11-

practice. Stated Coach Belshe.

Garnett library to discuss The Secret Keeper March 27
The Garnett Public Library

Wednesday, March 27th at 2
p.m. The Secret Keeper by
Kate Morton will be discussed.
Because of snowy conditions,
Februarys discussion of Katie

until March as well. The discussion will be led by Paulabeth
Henderson. Please take note of
the time change. For the month
As a husband, father, pastor and a
nurse for the Anderson County
Hospital Specialty Care Clinic, I see
how important health is to every
single person. I am proud to be a
part of the faith based Saint Lukes

their current and proposed
commitment to the physical, spiritual,
and financial well being of Anderson
County. This is a great opportunity
for our community.

of March we will have the discussion in the afternoon.
For families and animal lovers everywhere, Katie Up and
Down the Hall is the transcendent tale of how three
generations of strangers and
an astutely intelligent dog create their own little family in a
waterside community along the
Hudson river.
The Secret Keeper is a
spellbinding novel filled with
mystery, thievery, murder and
enduring love. During a summer party at the family farm
in the English countryside, sixteen-year-old Laurel Nicolson
has escaped to her childhood
tree house and is happily dreaming of the future. She spies a
stranger coming up the long
road to the farm and watches
as her mother speaks to him.
Before the afternoon is over,
Laurel will witness a shocking
crime. A crime that challenges
everything she knows about
her family and especially her
mother, Dorothy-her vivacious,
loving, nearly perfect mother.
Dorothys story takes the
reader from pre-WWII England
through the blitz, to the 60s and
beyond. It is the secret history
of three strangers from vastly different worlds – Dorothy,
Vivien and Jimmy – who meet
by chance in wartime London
Having so many specialists
available at our local hospital
saves me hours on the road and
valuable time away from my
work. High quality health care
and convenience are important
to me. I place great value in
having the Anderson County
Hospital there for me and my
family when we need it. I
encourage you to vote YES for
a new hospital on April 2. I will,
because its well worth it!

Early dining etiquette full of contradictions
It was customary in the early
days to place a dinner roll on
the napkin of each guest to be
munched on while waiting for
the first course or, if preferred,
the roll could be replaced by a
piece of bread two and onehalf inches long and one and
one-half inches thick. It was
considered ill-bred to wait for
others to be served, so each
guest was advised to start eating as soon as served.
To make sure that no guest
was slighted, it was the practice for the hostess to talk first
with the guest on her right
and then to the one on her left.
When she shifted her attention, known as the turn of the
table, other guests were supposed to follow her example.
Anyone who did not do so ran
the risk of causing the hostess
to remind him of his error by
suspending the conversation
and looking his way.
When food came with seeds,
the diner was advised to cover
his or her lips with his or her
hand, drop the seeds unseen
into the palm, and then deposit
them on the side of the plate.

for local archeology information.
Rather than place a finger
bowl and napkin at each place,
some hostesses provided one
bowl which was passed from
person to person by a servant
or by the guests themselves.
Those who used the bowl first
naturally enjoyed the clearest
water.
Before women began to
smoke cigarettes, it was customary for the men to withdraw to the smoking room for
a half hour after dinner. There,
cigars and brandy were passed
to the male guests.
Dinners used to last up to
three hours, which led to much
over-eating, because, as one
observer put it, You had to
keep on eating to stay awake.
The introduction of the fork
and spoon to supplement the
knife in eating required, or at
least led to, new emphasis on
table etiquette and new set of
table manners, some of them
contradictory. For example,
some people held to the idea
that one should never leave
a spoon in a cup or glass
because of the likelihood that
an arm and elbow would hit
the spoon and knock over the
container. But some authorities advised that the right way
to turn down a second cup
of tea or coffee was to leave
the spoon in the cup as a signal that no more was wanted.
Others recommended turning
the cup upside down. To reject
a second helping of food, one
approved method was to cross
ones knife and fork on the
plate.
It was perfectly proper to
offer to share a large pear with
a lady at the table, but a man
did not pare an apple or pear
for a lady unless requested
to do so, and then he used
his fork to hold the fruit. One

School board members in USD

Anderson County Junior-Senior
High School, pushing ahead on
a controversial project which
has hovered on the districts
agenda for more than a year.
Board members Mike Rockers
and Norman Ellis voted no on
the question, which superintendent Gordon Myers said could
yield plans and specific costs as
soon as May, with construction
possibly completed in time for
classes in September or October
of next year. Rockers questioned
repeatedly in discussions over
the course of the past months
whether the expenditure of up
to $750,000 on a track facility
should be a priority in the district, considering the districts
limited capital outlay funds,
lower interested rates being paid
on those funds and voter rejection of a school question.

eating of peas with a knife, in
the absence of a fork, was to
put honey on the knife. And
if one felt impelled to pick his
or her teeth at the table, they
were told to hold a napkin
before their mouth with their
free hand. Another authority
said a person should never use
their knife or fork for picking their teeth. Some more
thoughtful hostesses provided
special toothpick holders on
the table.
It is interesting to note that
before the introduction of the
fork, hostesses were obliged
to keep a much larger stock
of napkins than is required
today, because the hands came
in contact with food much
more often.
Never throw bones under
the dinner table, one authority advised, adding that when
sending a plate for a second
helping, one should retain
the knife and fork and place
them on a piece of bread until
the plate was returned. Those
were the days. Many customs
still exist today.

The Story of Little Bobby Joe
Kylee Rogers
Garnett – 6th Grade
Reading 2
Honorable Mention
Once upon a time, in 2004, a small
little grey mouse named Bobby Joe
had a dream that he could read just one
book. He asked his father if he could
go to the Mouse Library. Nonsense!
said his father. After that Bobby Joe
had to get back to work. I just want
to do something fun, and out of Home
Rat Hole, said Bobby Joe. Trust me,
Bobby Joe, we all do! said another
worker.
Since Bobby Joe wanted to have an
adventure, he snuck out in the middle
of the night, with no one knowing
hed left. Bobby Joe went to the Mouse
Library. He looked for a really good,
but easy book to read. Tims Fun
Adventure the title read. Bobby Joe
tried to read the title, but he couldnt.
The mouse librarian told him that the
Reading Wizard could help all animals
that cant read, read.
The next day he decided that that
night he would go find the Reading
Wizard. That night he packed all the
things that he would need. When he
was ready, he was on his way!
Bobby Joe went to the Mouse
Library to get a map of where the
southern star
2×5
Reading Wizard is. The mouse librarian gave him a map. First, he had to go
to the forest. Then, he had to find New
York City. Finally, he had to find The
Secret Reading Hall for Animals.
Bobby Joe said thank you and he was
out the door!
Bobby Joe was following the map
the librarian gave him, and he was lost
in the middle of the woods! When he
was trying to figure out where he was,
a monkey jumped right in front of
him. Bobby Joe knew that he wanted
some of his bananas. Bobby Joe got
some of his bananas and the monkey
got excited. When Bobby Joe gave him
some bananas, the monkey was gone!
Bobby Joe didnt know where he was,
so he kept on walking until he got out
of the woods. Bobby Joe now knew
where he was…. New York City.
Bobby Joe needed some water, so he
went up to another mouse to ask him
where a fountain was. When he got to
a fountain, he took a couple of slurps,
and when he looked up, he saw a big
green statue. The Statue of Liberty.
On his way to the Statue of Liberty
to get a better look, he found his way
to come across The Secret Reading
Hall for Animals. Bobby Joe smiled.
With a big grin on Bobby Joes face, he
walked into the building. As he walked
into the lobby, he asked the counter
mouse where and if he could see the
Reading Wizard. When the counter
mouse told Bobby Joe where he was,
he ran as fast as he could through the
hall.
When Bobby Joe knocked on his
door, it opened. He walked in and was
aksing if the Wizard was there. The
Reading Wizard would not show himself, but when Bobby Joe explained
why he wanted to learn how to read,
then spell, and his wish was granted.
When Bobby Joe got home, he went
straight to the Library. He took out a
book, and grinned. He started yelling
out, I CAN READ!!! He felt like the
happiest mouse on earth.
The Little Bunny
Remi Kennard
Greeley – 4th Grade
Mrs. Miller
Honorable Mention
Once there was a little
bunny. His name was Snow
because he was a snow bunny.
One day Snow was so happy
because it was his friends
birthday. He bought her very
first star because her name was
Starlight.
But when Snow heard that
Bunny was going to give her the
same thing, Snow was so sad.
At 4:30 a.m. all the little bunnies watched Starlight open
her presents. But someone was
missing. It was Snow. Starlight
went to look for him and all her
friends looked too.
Then Starlight fell into a hole
and she was super scared and
yelled and yelled. Then Snow
heard her. He found her, but
Starlight had broken her leg.
Snow took Starlight to the doctor.
She sure did break her
leg, said the doctor. You have
to keep your cast on for five
weeks.
Five weeks later and Starlight
is out of her cast now. Snow
got Starlight a present and
gave it to her. Starlight loved
it so much she kissed Snow.
Now Snow was so happy he
jumped up and he landed in
Starlights garden. Starlight
helped Snow up. Thank you,
Snow said. Youre welcome,
said Starlight.

Makenzie Kueser Fourth Grade Mrs. Self
Once upon a time one day in
a dark castle lived a princess. It
was dark and cloudy out today
and all of a sudden a horrible
screeching noise came from
outside. The princess went to
the window to see what it was.
She didnt see a thing.
That night she heard the
noise again. She went to the
window and saw something flying in the sky! What could it be,
she thought?
She went back to bed and
got up the next morning and
told her parents about it. They
didnt believe her. She went outside to explore and went past
the pond and into the forest.
She found a dragon nest and
she finally knew what it was.

The Strange Camping Trip
Sylvia Keim
Mont Ida – 5th Grade
Mrs. Rockers
Honorable Mention
One warm summer day when
everything was still, my two best
friends, Teresa and Amanda, asked
me if I wanted to go with them camping. I did, so we started packing and
I aksed my mom if she could take us
and she did.
Then we sat up the tent and started a
fire for supper. Teresa, Amanda and I
got into the boat and pushed us down
the river to fish. When we had at least
20 big fish we started back to cook the
fish. When we got back we cooked the
fish and were finished at 6:00 p.m. So
we had an hour still to do anything.
We went swimming and splashing in the water. I was swimming
when all of a sudden I saw a bright
golden medallion. So I called Teresa
and Amanda and all at the same time
we touched it and when we got out of
the water we werent at our campsite,
we were back in the olden days with
the western cowboys.
It wasnt common to wear shorts
and t-shirts back then, so we asked a
woman for some dresses to wear. Her
name was Polly. Polly wasnt married
yet. Polly gave us a room and clothes
to wear. Polly said it was a dance
tonight and we can go with her if we
want to. We went, but we just watched
because we didnt know how to dance
their way.
A couple of days later, Teresa,
Amanda and I were helping Polly
wash our clothes in the river when I
saw the bright golden medallion so I
called to Teresa and Amanda again
and we all touched it again and we
were back in the river just as we had
left it and it was that night still and
we knew better now to never touch a
bright golden medallion.
The Mysterious Vacation
Amanda Miller
Mont Ida – 5th Grade
Mrs. Rockers
Honorable Mention
Dad announced that we were not
going to go on our annual camping
trip so I asked him if I could have my
own little camping trip in the woods.
He said that I could. So that night, I
packed up and went into the woods.
I set up my tent and fried some trout
for supper. Then I went to bed. That
night I was a little tense, as though
something eerie was outside the tent.
I unzipped the tent flap and Ill be a
four-eyed bullfrog if it wasnt a ghost
like thing running around in front of
my tent! I was so flabbergasted that
I just sat there and looked at it. But I
got over my shock pretty quick. Now
Ill inform you Im no scaredy cat, but
I was scared then.
I leaped out of the tent and landed
a few feet away from the ghost. The
thing disappeared in midair. Then I
heard footsteps, but nobody came.
Right then and there I knew that there
was something peculiar happening in
our woods. I went to bed.
Dad and I had agreed that I could
stay for a week on my camping trip,
Deer hunting
Teresa Yoder
Mont Ida – 4th Grade
Mrs. Johnson
Honorable Mention
The first time I went deer
hunting I got a 12 point deer.
But theres more to it. I was sitting in a tree when a deer came
in sight. I waited until it came
right under the tree. I jumped
out of the tree and landed on
the deer. I didnt have a gun.
I had a wild ride for a while.
Then I finally got him down.
He was so worn out that I
was sure he couldnt move. I
ran up to the house and got a
gun and went back to the deer
and then I shot him. My family had deer for supper for five
weeks.
so that meant I was going to have a
week to solve this mystery. The next
morning I ate breakfast then set out
to see where this ghost was headed
to. I had walked ten miles and was
resting when I heard a rustle. I saw a
head stick out of a nearby bush. It was
a man I had never seen. We stared at
each other and then the chase was on!
I sprang up like a rabbit and landed
right on the man! He slipped from
under me and ran as though he was
being chased by a mountain lion. I
knew he could outrun me easily so I
tried to watch where he was headed.
Then I heard a loud bang behind
me. I turned around just in time to see
a figure disappear through the trees.
I was walking back to camp when
something caught my eye. It was a
black horse with a star on its forehead.
I named it Star and took it to camp.
That night I rode Star to the riverbank. Soon I saw the same ghost as
the night before. I took the lasso that
I had found on Star and lassoed the
goose and rode up to it. I jumped
off the horse and looked at the thing
on the end of the rope. Ill be a twotailed ape if it wasnt the same man
as before! You might as well tell me
what this is all about, I told him.
Well, Im working for a secret spy.
His name is the Black Pepper and he
has a big gang, said the man.
So why are you supposed to act as
a ghost? I asked.
Because the gang is making counterfeit money while I keep people away
from the woods by my ghostly act, he
said.
So thats how I got the gang arrested. I held the man prisoner on Star as I
rode home and got dad to call 911. Then
the police arrested all of the men who
had been making counterfeit money
for the Black Pepper. Well folks, thats
the story of the Mysterious Vacation.

Control wind erosion before spring winds blow
MANHATTAN Even with
recent precipitation here and
there throughout the midsection of the country, drought
conditions persist through several states, which could heighten prospects for wind erosion
once springtime winds kick in.
There are several things
farmers can do to mitigate damage from wind erosion and its
best to do them before the wind
really starts blowing, said
Kansas State University assistant professor DeAnn Presley.
Often, wind erosion will start
in a small area of a field where
soil texture, aggregation, or
vegetation conditions are more
vulnerable to wind than other
parts of the field.
The vulnerable areas,
or hot spots are the areas
that need control first, said
Presley, who is a soil management specialist with K-State
Research and Extension. She,
along with U.S. Department
of Agriculture soil scientist,
John Tatarko, authored a publication Principles of Wind
Erosion and its Control, avail-
able through K-State Research
and Extension offices or online
at the Bookstore. Search for
MF2860.
Emergency tillage is tillage
performed on an actively blowing field to provide a rough,
ridged, cloddy surface. The
idea, Presley said, is to reduce
wind velocity and trap windblown soil particles.
Emergency tillage is only
a temporary measure, however, she added. First, because
clods can disintegrate rapidly
under saltating conditions and
second, because a change in
wind direction can mean soil
loss from untilled strips.
Saltating is sort of a chain
reaction, where under the
influence of wind, small particles bounce or hop along the
soil surface, she said. As they
bounce, they strike other particles, causing them to move. The
higher the particles jump, the
more energy they derive from
the wind. Because of this windderived energy, the impact of
saltating particles initiates
movement of other grains and
smaller dust particles that can
be suspended in the air and carried long distances.
An implement used for emergency wind erosion control
should gently lift the soil, creating as many large stable clods
as possible. Implements such as
listers and chisels do a good job
of roughening the soil surface
and creating clods. Each has its
own benefits, depending on soil
type.
Adding crop residue to the
surface reduces wind velocity
and traps moving soil particles,
Presley said. Almost any kind
of residue, including straw,
hay or corn stalks can be used.
Approximately 2,000 to 4,000
pounds of residue per acre is
required, however, to control
erosion in areas that already
have begun to erode. Normally
the residue must be anchored
in place with a stubble puncher
or disk, although long-stemmed
residues such as corn stalks
might not require anchoring.
Livestock manure also can
reduce wind erosion, she said,
particularly in growing wheat,
Forests bring surprising
value to Kansas economy
MANHATTAN — It may surprise many that a state forestry
agency has served Kansans for
more than 125 years, or that
there are 5.2 million acres of
forestland, agroforests and
trees in the state that provide
important environmental benefits.
However, it is probably
the economic benefits of the
forest industry that are most
often overlooked by Kansans,
according to Bob Atchison,
rural forestry coordinator with
the Kansas Forest Service.
A recent analysis by Tom
Treiman, natural resource
economist with the Missouri
Department of Conservation,
showed that the Kansas forest
products industry contributed
$1.5 billion annually to the
states economy.
The industry supports more
than 6,700 jobs at a payroll
of about $360 million and is
responsible for more than $43
million in taxes that help to
run our state and country and
another $69 million in federal
taxes.
These numbers include not
only the direct effect of jobs in
the primary wood processing
industry, such as logging and
sawmill operations, but also the
indirect and induced effects in
the secondary wood products
industry, such as cabinet shops,
pallet manufacturing and so
on, Atchison said. This is
especially true since loggers,
saw mill operators, and carpen-
ters, after all, buy groceries and
gas just like the rest of us.
Sources of Treimans data
come from the U.S. Bureau of
Economic Analysis, the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, the
U.S. Department of Agriculture,
the Minnesota IMPLAN Group
and the Kansas Forest Service
at Kansas State University.
And that $1.5 billion doesnt
even include the value of a
day spent walking in Kansass
woods with your family trying to spot a migrating warbler or next seasons big buck,
Atchison said.
More information is available at the Kansas Forest
Service website at Kansas
Forest Service.
fallow fields and row crops.
Typically, six to eight tons of
manure per acre controls wind
erosion on vulnerable spots, but
care should be taken when storing and apply manure, so as not
to contaminate water sources.
Irrigation to control erosion
is generally impractical and
wastes water because the surface tends to dry rapidly under
high wind conditions. However,
if a high-value cash crop is
at stake, irrigation might be
a practical solution if enough
water can be applied to keep
the surface sufficiently moist.
Temporary, artificial wind
barriers, such as board or snow
fences or hay bales can be used
if the eroding area is relatively
small, such as stock watering
areas or knolls. Protection can
be expected for a downwind
distance approximately 10 to 15
times the height of the barrier.
Soil stabilizers are soil
additives or spray-on adhesives, which bind soil particles
together, Presley said. They are
generally expensive, temporary
and used only for high-value
cash crops such as vegetables.
While there are a number of
materials available, they are
not compatible with all soils
and often made ineffective by
rainfall, cultivation, or abrasion from untreated areas.
In addition to the wind erosion publication, information
is available at Wind Erosion
Research and from three
videos. The videos were produced by the U.S. Department
of Agriculture-Agricultural
Research Service Engineering
and Wind Erosion Research Unit
and USDA-Natural Resource
Conservation Service in conjunction with the Educational
Communications Center at
Kansas State University.
