Change in healthcare
saves county money
Jail reaps $18K savings
after 7 months with new
inmate healthcare service
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A change in inmate
healthcare already has paid off for
Anderson County, according to
a new report issued last week by
Sheriff Vernon Valentine.
In June 2014, Valentine changed
the way healthcare services are handled at the jail by hiring an Illinois
company that specializes in providing healthcare to correctional institutions. Valentine predicted the
change would save the county about
$30,000 per year while improving the
standard of care to inmates.
Advanced Correctional Healthcare
began providing services to the county jail in June 2014, with a bid of
$38,131 to provide those services for
one year. Advanced Correctional
Healthcare beat out a slightly higher
bid by Anderson County Hospital
because the Advanced bid also
included pharmaceutical expenses.
Valentine said at the time he would
have preferred to hire a local vendor,
but the cost savings were too significant with Advanced.
Even though the service began
almost halfway through 2014, it
resulted in significant savings
compared to the previous year,
Valentines report showed.
In 2014, the sheriffs department spend $55,889.77 in healthSEE HEALTHCARE ON PAGE 3A

Firefighters prepare to topple the burning remains of a shed at a property along U.S. 169 near Sixth Avenue, just outside
Garnett, Thursday, March 12. The structure burned when a controlled grass fire got out of control. Firefighters in the area have
kept busy in recent weeks as dry conditions make it easy for fires to spread. As farmers enter their prescribed burning season,
firefighters likely will continue to battle such fires if they get out of control.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Comparatively speaking, 2014 looked a lot like 2013 at
the Anderson County Sheriffs
Department. Officers responded to
about the same number of calls and
issued roughly the same number of
tickets. The biggest differences were
financial, as revenue
was down slightly, while
expenses were up.
Sheriff
Vernon
Valentine last week
released a statistical
report on activities and
expenses at the sheriffs
department in 2014. Its
the second year he has
compiled the statistical report; when
he was elected in 2012, Valentine
promised to compile and release such
reports in order to track essential
activities and increase transparency
between the office and the public.
Because this is only the second
year such a report has been issued,
comparisons can be made only
between 2013 and 2014.
The biggest change at the jail
between the two years was implementation of a new healthcare system, which is addressed in another
article in this newspaper. Other than
that, the disparity between increased
expenses and decreased revenue was
notable.
The departments budget has
increased by more than $100,000
between 2013 and 2015 in 2013, the
budget was $1,411,500 and 100 percent
of the budget was used; in 2014, the

care costs. Before the contract
with Advanced Correctional
Healthcare
began
(from
January to June 12, 2014), the
county paid $20,828.54 for doctor and hospital visits, and
$7,076.49 for pharmacy expenses for a total of $28,005.03. The
average cost per month was
$5,601.
After
the
Advanced
Correctional Healthcare contract began in June, the county
paid $6,574.30 for doctor and
hospital visits, $232.03 for pharmacy expenses and $21,078.41
for services through Advanced
for a total of $27,884.74. The
average cost per month was
$3,983.53.
Overall, the county saved
$18,441.82 in healthcare costs
compared to 2013 (healthcare expenses that year were
$71,331.59) and $49,811.94
compared to 2012 (healthcare expenses that year were
$105,701.71).
Valentine noted the figures
may not be exact, or could
change, because the new agreement now requires inmates
to have a co-pay for services.
Healthcare costs for out-ofcounty inmates also will be
reimbursed by the inmates
home county. That also could
change the financial picture
when those counties send their
REPORT…
payments.
Valentine said previously one of the advantages of
contracted services would be
the ability to better stabilize
healthcare expenses. In previous years, inmates apparently
took advantage of lax rules to
take care of long-standing medical issues. At one point, an
inmate claimed she needed an
organ transplant and expected
the county to pick up the tab;
her condition later was found
to be significantly less dire, but
still resulted in hefty medical
bills. Another elderly man also
required expensive healthcare
during his stay at the jail.
Under
Advanced
Correctional Healthcare, a
nurse and a doctor make regular visits to the jail, and a
physician is on call to advise
staff if an inmates condition
requires a trip to the hospital,
which comes with additional
costs. Advanced also provides
training and insurance, as well
as medicine and programs to
manage chronic conditions like
diabetes.
Advanced
Correctional
Healthcare offers services to
245 correctional facilities in 17
states and is the largest provider of inmate medical services
for county jails in the United
States.
PROFESSIONAL TAX PREPARATION
FROM PAGE 1A
budget was $1,481,010 and 94.3
percent of the budget was used;
in 2015, the budget is $1,530,501.
Valentine said those increases
primarily are because of costof-living raises for staff and
increasing costs for supplies
like inmate uniforms, bedding,
laundry, technology, food and
utilities. The jails electric bill
alone often exceeds $8,000 per
month, he said.
At the same time, revenue has decreased slightly. Although county tax dollars support most of the jails
expenses, the sheriffs department also collects revenue
through fees and costs assessed
to inmates, and the department
collects money from people
who need things like incident
and accident reports or vehicle inspections. In 2013, the
sheriffs department collected
$239,185.88. In 2014, the department collected $204,459.60.
Most of the difference can be
attributed to a decrease in collections from inmates.
Valentine pointed out those
figures represent a ballpark
figure for general comparison
and may not be exact. For example, his figures do not include
some sources of revenue, like a
$35 charge for fingerprints.
As far as general activities
by the sheriffs department,
2014 roughly mirrored 2013.
All law enforcement
(including the sheriff, Garnett
police department and Kansas
Department of Wildlife and
Parks, as well as fire fighters
and first responders) received
8,248 calls for service in 2013,
compared to 8,201 calls in 2014.
Deputies issued 401 traffic
citations or tickets in 2013, and
441 in 2014. They issued 18 DUIs
in 2013, compared to 12 in 2014.
In 2013, deputies attempted to serve 1,930 civil process
papers; they successfully
served 1,132 of those papers.
In 2014, deputies attempted to
serve 1,949 civil process papers;
they were successful with 1,102
of those.

EDITORIAL
Let the Sunshine in!
March 15-21, 2015, marks the 10th anniversary of the nationally commemorated
Sunshine Week in which open government
proponents throughout our nation point with
pride at transparency breakthroughs, but are
equally alarmed about setbacks to the peoples right to know what their government is
up to.
A review by the Kansas Sunshine
Coalition for Open Government shows the
Kansas experience over the past 10 years is
no different. While sunshine victories can be
proclaimed in some areas of our state governmentthe legislative enactment of a media
shield law, for example, there have been
serious setbacks, including the expansion of
exceptions to the states Open Records Act
from 10 or so initially to now 57 and counting. Meanwhile, the cost of gaining access to
these open government records has mushroomed to the point that pressing access in
many instances simply isnt worth the effort
to the citizenry.
Kansas media representatives who track
open government legislation could describe
their job as whack-a-mole because, as
Gilda Radner was wont to say, Theres
always somethin! This year is no different.
Currently, organizations representing cities,
counties, and other governmental entities
are pushing to end the practice of publicizing their legally required notices, including
budgets, in print, opting instead to restrict
them to websites, particularly if the website
is operated by the very entity charged with
making their work available to the general
public.
On another front, the current gubernatorial administration has taken the position
that government business may be discussedtransacted?in secrecy via email if
it transpired using a private internet service
provider. Object lesson: accomplish the deed
by gmail, making sure only the agency good
news is transmitted through government
email accounts. Case in point: an email
detailing what should be the most public of
any public document, the state budget directors proposal to close budget shortfalls totaling more than $710 million. It was secretly
emailed to two lobbyist confidantes prior to
it being unveiled even to the Legislature, let
alone Kansans, many of whom are struggling
with their own budget woes brought about by
a burgeoning tax load.
Adding salt to the wound is news that the
Wichita Eagle, which broke the budget proposal story, was advised that a request to the
governors office for access to emails between
that office and one of the lobbyists would
cost $1,235. So, if one as a government official
needs to accomplish a deed in secret, do so
on a home computer using a private email
account, but if that isnt possible make the
cost of accessing the public record prohibitively high for most citizens.
That same secret mindset has now been
extended to state judiciary appointments,
which had been transparent by Supreme
Court rule since 1981. Now, no one knows
who has applied for a judge vacancy until
the governor makes his appointment.
Confirmation of that appointee now rests
with the same entitythe Legislature
which voted to make the process opaque in
the first place.
Secrecy in government is not the exclusive domain of the executive and legislative
branches of government, however, as an
ongoing case study at the University of
Kansas demonstrates. There, a student group
seeks to determine the extent of the influence

have in its donations totaling at least $1.4
million to the KU School of Business. The
students records request for any restrictions
on Koch funding was approved by the universitybut with a price tag of $1,800. (Read: if
a public document must be made available,
make the cost of obtaining it prohibitive.)
So, what does secrecy in government
mean to us as citizens? Last year, legislators
needed only to hear from a Leawood couple
to learn what a travesty secret records could
unleash. That case involved an innocent
family whose personal nightmare began
when a totally unfounded drug raid was promulgated on their suburban Johnson County
home. Despite the horrors of the morning
raid, to the couples dismay, they found that
the information on which the bogus raid was
based was secret per a 1979 law. Though the
record detailing probable cause, or in this
case, lack of probable cause for the search,
could have been opened, it was kept secret.
Given the baseless grounds for the drug
raid in the first place, it is unsurprising
that someone wanted to keep the family in
the dark to protect an exposed backsideor
several. Thanks to efforts by the couple and
other proponents of open government, the
affidavit for the search warrant eventually
was opened to the couple, and legislation
opening future affidavits in search and
arrests has been enacted to bring a little additional sunshine into Kansas government.
Kansans fear and mistrust the unknown.
We must, in fact and in deed, let the sunshine
in!

Clintons public secrets
The cover-up often is worse than the crime.
How many times have we heard variations
of that quote? Usually, its trotted out in the
context of a political scandal, one that wouldnt
really be a scandal if the principal had just
gotten past an obsession with secrecy so severe
that he or she acted suspiciously.
In this case, its a she were talking about,
Hillary Clinton, who repeatedly gets entangled
in her fetish for privacy. Its impossible when
living such a high-profile life, with all the attendant perks, financed by the taxpayers.
She is about to embark on that most public
endeavor, running for president, trying to get
elected to enter the White House bubble. Of
course, shes been in the fishbowl before, as
wife of, and never could get used to the idea
that her life, to a large degree, belonged to
everyone.
Thats what makes the matter of her conducting business as secretary of state on a
camouflaged, private email account such a big
story. Its true, as her enforcers have fanned out
to argue, that others have done the same thing
— Secretary of State Colin Powell, for example.
And there is no real evidence that her behindthe-cloak communications were hiding anything improper or illegal. But we dont really

know. We can only suspect. She makes it so easy.
Her problem is that this clandestine approach
is nothing new. As someone who covered all the
Clinton scandals, and even nonscandals like
Whitewater, I got used to the daily parsing of
words to try to avoid simply coming out and
dealing with the embarrassment of the moment.
The nearly covert way that Hillary conducted
the effort to reform health care ultimately had a
lot to do with the final plan going down in flames.
SEE FRANKEN ON PAGE 8A
The return of the Clinton scandals
The grim forced march to a Hillary Clinton
coronation just got a little grimmer. The
Hillary email scandal — on top of the revelation of continuing foreign donations to the
Clinton Foundation while she was secretary
of state — is a nice reminder for Democrats
about what they are signing up for.
The Clinton Restoration will require routinely defending the indefensible. It will
require recalibrating all legal and ethical
standards to suit the personal and financial
interests of the Clintons. It will require a willingness to use these phrases with a shameless abandon: old news, everybody does
it and not technically illegal.
Usually the advantage of having been
around national politics forever is that there
are no surprises lurking in the background.
But what should be the most vetted couple
in the world always needs just a little more
vetting.
The Clintons come from the Frank
Underwood school of politics. What unites
Bills roguish charm and Hillarys relentless
determination is an eye for the main chance,
with adherence to the rules optional.
Hillary Clintons self-serving email
arrangement is not the worst example, but
it is textbook. Pretty much anyone in government knew that if you used your private
account for official business, you had to copy
your government account for record-keeping
purposes. But Hillary didnt even have a government account.
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
For this to have been an innocent oversight, wed have to believe that Hillary — intimately familiar with the workings of government since at least 1979, when Bill became
governor of Arkansas, and with the federal
government since at least 1993 — didnt know
how government email worked.
And that she happened to set up her own private email account with a server in her own
house, registered under a pseudonym, in a fit
of technological absent-mindedness.
As The Associated Press notes, homemade
servers are inferior to professional facilities
that provide monitoring for viruses or hacking attempts, regulated temperatures, off-site
backups, generators in case of power outages,
fire-suppression systems and redundant com-
munications lines.
All of these were mere details compared
with the one overwhelming advantage of her
own server that clearly trumped every other
consideration: impressive control over limiting access to her message archives, in the
words of the AP.
Recently, Clinton turned over to the State
Department 55,000 pages of emails, and now
she says she wants them released. But it is
her flunkies who decided what to give the
department. This is transparency Clintonstyle.
The defense from Clinton world has been
that everyone conducts official business on
private email, so whats the big deal? But
her predecessor, Condoleezza Rice, and her
successor, John Kerry, both managed to use
government accounts.
The legal debate is now whether she merely violated the spirit of the law or actually
broke it, the perpetual question with the
Clintons.
If Democrats have liked what theyve seen
from Hillary the past couple of weeks, they
should relish the prospect of the next two
years, when any revelation can instantly put
them back in Clinton scandal-defense mode.
This is the future they are choosing, apparently without even bothering to consider an
alternative with less baggage or higher standards.

School finance, taxes dominate Statehouse
Well, its fast-and-furious at the Statehouse,
with financing of public schools mesmerizing
most of the legislators and hangers-on who
either have an interest in public schools or
are wondering what happens to the issues
they care about while the school issue boils.
The school issue? How does the state distribute the roughly $3 billion a year for the
next two years that Gov. Sam Brownback proposes to spend (or more, apparently, if a court
demands it) to help finance schools? Is that
enough money to finance the public schools
adequately as the Kansas Constitution
calls for?
Thats the big fight, but theres another
one waiting to enter the ring: Taxes.
While whatever happens with school
finance plays out, remember that the
Legislature cant clock out and go home until
it has adopted a balanced budget.
That balanced budget is sure to require
more taxeseven the governor proposed
raising taxes (on cigarettes and liquor) to
make his budget pencil outand when the
school business is finally settled, its still
going to take more taxes to make things balance.
***
Surprisingly, the conservative school
finance talking point that seems to be the
most popular is that the 23-year-old school
finance formula is complicated. Maybe
complicated is a tragic flaw in the current
formula, which if fully funded would require
a boost of state spending on K-12. But then,
cell phones are complicated and nobodys
tossing them aside in favor of simpler-to-un-

derstand black dial telephones.
***
So, whether it sticks or not, lawmakers
may this week have a number to plug into
the budget for K-12, and so far both House and
Senate budget committees have tentatively
adopted most of the rest of the spending
recommendations of the governorwhich
remember, require increased revenues. Oh,
the Statehouse crowd tends to use the phrase
revenue enhancement. Regular people say
taxes.
At this point, while the budget folks are
assembling this week their Mega appropriations bill which will determine how much the
state will spend in the next two fiscal years,
the tax mavens are assembling options to
finance that budget.
There is a lot on the table. Theres a bill to
eliminate that first $20,000 of value of your
home from the states 20-mill school levy
which is worth $47 per homeowner, to putting
the sales tax back on your utility bills, worth
more than $140 million. And, of course, those
cigarette and liquor tax increases which few
around the Statehouse take seriously.
Mess with income taxes? Thats more complicated. Remember, those 190,000 Kansas
businesses that we thought were not paying Kansas income taxes due to the 2012/13
tax breaks? That number is now more than
300,000. And boost their taxes to more than
zero and you are singling them out, arent
you?
Theres no way to know, because it isnt
one of those check-offs on the income tax
form, but there is a suspicion that most of
those now-300,000-plus Kansans who dont
pay state income taxesjust might be registered Republicans, who are wondering about
who to support in 2016.
Now, if there was just a way to check in
with that non-income tax crowdby party
affiliationto see whether they are a little
embarrassed by their status and might not
mind a littlejust a little…income tax liability. Hmmm.
Well see whether the tax committees have
made their own assessment of the politics of
tax increases that focuses on folks who arent
now taxpayers. Wont we?

media and intellectual thinkers. But in the end when he
began to issue harsh rebukes
and difficult teaching his following would dwindle just as it
did in that day. On hearing it
(the teaching) many of his disciples said, This is hard teaching. Who can accept it ? (John
6:60)
These were disciples who
took offense at Jesus words,
refused to listen to Jesus explanations and were unwilling to
accept the message of salvation
by grace. This is a crucial point
in this gospel. Many of the disciples together with the crowds
rejected Christ in unbelief.
Jesus then asks the twelve a
question. Do you want to go
away as well?Jesus question
brings forth Peters great confession. Lord to whom shall we
go? You have the words of eternal life and we have believed,
and have come to know you are
the Holy One of God. (John
7:68-69)
Peters confession gets to
the heart of the earlier statement, The reason the world
does not know us is that it did
not know him. People do not
want to believe and therefore
they cannot worship God. That
is the reason there is such a
great chasm or gulf between
God and man. God requires
our worship. There is only one
way to bridge this gulf and that
is through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The
world can provide momentary
pleasures but God can provide
eternal life.

City officials likely will ask
for a mill increase in the citys
sales tax in coming months in
order to make up for a steady
reduction in revenues over the
past three years, but the local
business that accounts for some
34 percent of the countys sales
tax collections says hell stand
against the increase. The loss
of revenue from investments
and state demand transfers has
been an issue in the city budget for the past three years,
as officials continue to have to
dip into what was once some
$800,000 in city cash reserves
in order to make the citys ends
meet without a tax increase.
But those reserves total only
about $200,000 now.

Two men who escaped
from Anderson County Jail in
Garnett last week and the jailer who is charged with helping them have been arrested
in Arkansas and are awating
extradition proceedings. The
jailer is thought to have accompanied the two men to Little
Rock and may have been staying in the same house as the
escaped convicts. All three men
are charged with aggravated
escape in Garnett. The jailers
relatives in Westphalia do not
believe he would have assisted in the escape. Sheriff David

More than 7,000 real estate

Thursday and right about now,
most county residents should

Anderson County Appraiser
Gary Stapp is expecting more
than a few complaints. He said
last week that valuations have
increased dramatically in the
past year. Countywide, 56 percent of parcels have increased
in value over 1994. Only 5 percent decreased in valuation
and 39 percent stayed the same.
Erratic sales data and limited
commercial construction cost
data did not allow the appraisers department to identify
trends in commercial property
values in 1992, 1993 and 1994.

A suspect in the Westphalia
burglary over the weekend of
March 8-10 was apprehended
in Johnson county Thursday,

arrested when he tried to

checks that were allegedly
stolen from Nolan Grain Inc.,
Westphalia.
The Great Houdini appeared
in Garnett on Nov. 26, 1897,
according to the Garnett
Journal. From extract records
concerning Houdinis visit, it
is clear that he had signed up
with Dr. Hills traveling medicine show after losing $60,000
in a crap game in Milwaukee
and joined the traveling show
at a salary of $25 per week
(which n those days wasnt
bad pay, either). Velma West
Sykes, Fort Collins, Colo., who
had done research into the part
of Houdinis life that involved
spiritualism and seances, supplied information concerning
his visit to Garnett. Houdini,
the famous escape artist, carried on a crusade in his last
years against fake mediums.
Yet during his early career, he
himself gave a sance a sensational one in Garnett. Later
he wrote an abject apology to
a bereaved father to whom he
had given a supposed message
from his recently buried son.
Old residents of Garnett still
recall that sance.

Notice to control weeds Notice of city/school elections April 7
(First published in The Anderson County
Review, Tuesday, March 3, 2015)
GENERAL NOTICE TO CONTROL NOXIOUS
WEEDS
The Kansas Noxious Weed Law K.S.A.
2-1314 et seq requires all persons who own or
supervise land in Kansas to control and eradicate all weeds declared noxious by legislative
action. The weeds declared noxious are: Field
Bindweed, Musk Thistle, Sericea Lespedeza,
Johnson Grass, Bur Ragweed, Canada Thistle
Leafy Spurge, Hoary Cress, Quack Grass,
Russian Knapweed, Kudzu and Pignut.
Notice is hereby given pursuant to Kansas
Noxious Weed Law to every person who owns
or supervises land in Anderson County that noxious weeds growing or found on such land shall
be controlled and eradicated. Control is defined
as preventing the production of viable seed and
the vegetative spread of the plant. Failure to
observe this notice may result in the County:
1: Serving a legal notice requiring control
of the noxious weeds within a minimum of five
days. Failure to control the noxious weeds
within the time period allowed may result in
the county treating the noxious weed at the
landowners expense and placing a lien on the
property if the bill is not paid within 30 days.
2: Filing criminal charges for non-compliance. Conviction for non-compliance may
result in a fine of $100 per day of non-compliance with a maximum fine of $1500.
The public is also hereby notified that it is
a violation of the Kansas Noxious Weed Law
to barter, sell or give away infested nursery
stock or livestock feed unless the feed is fed
on the farm where grown or sold to a commercial processor that will destroy the viability of
the noxious weed seed. Custom harvesting
machines must be labeled with a label provided
by the Kansas Dept. of Agriculture and must be
free of all weed seed and litter when entering
the State and when leaving a field infested with
noxious weed. Additional information may be
obtained from the Anderson County Noxious
Weed Department or by contacting the Kansas

In that position, she worked
with businesses and promoted

from the Garnett Chamber.
Later, Brummel worked for
the City of Howard as deputy

She has been actively

The Anderson County High School
Cheerleaders attended their second Elite
Cheerleading Competition at Baldwin High
School on February 14th. They came home with a
trophy, several medals and ribbons, and received
2 & 3 overall ratings. Tavia, Adriann, Jasmine,
Tiffany, Lexee and McKenzi entered the small
group stunt routine portion of the competition
and received a 2 overall rating. Tavia, Adriann,
Jasmine, Audrie, Samantha, and Tiffany also
entered this portion of the competition with a
second routine and received a 3 overall rating.
The routines were choreographed by Tavia and
were performed to cheer mixes of some of the
girls favorite songs.
This was the first year the ACHS Cheerleaders
have competed in the Elite Competitions. The
girls have worked very hard and really stepped
up and have been competitive at these competitions. Both competitions had 15 to 18 teams
competing. There were schools from Topeka,
Lawrence, Salina and Olathe to name a few. The
girls held their own among these larger schools. I
am so proud of all these girls have accomplished,
their hard work and dedication has been amazing.
The girls will be performing one of their competition routines on March 12th at the 8:15 game
in Topeka at the State Basketball Tournament. If
you are in the area stop in and watch them.
This years season is coming to a close, and
now it is time for tryouts once again. The ACHS
Cheerleading tryouts were March 10th, 11th,
and 12th. The cheerleaders are coached by Trish
Wittman.

Civil War Sesquicentennial event planned March 21
The Anderson County
Historical Society commemorates the 150th anniversary of
the Civil War conflict.
The Civil War began on
April 12, 1861, at 4:30 a.m.,
when Confederate Gen. Pierre
Beauregard opened fire with
50 cannons upon Fort Sumter
in Charleston, S. Carolina.
On April 9, 1865, Gen.
Robert E. Lee surrenders his
Confederate Army to Gen.
Ulysses S. Grant at the village
of Appomattox courthouse in
Virginia. In May, the remaining Confederate soldiers surrender. The nation is reunited
as the Civil War ends. Over
620,000 Americans died in the
war, with disease killing twice
as many as those lost in battle. 50,000 survivors returned
home as amputees.

Prairie Bloom list of recommended perennial flowers.
Flowers that make the list
have exhibited superior performance for three to five years
or more in K-States bedding
plant research trials in several locations around the state.
The Prairie Bloom list is available online at Prairie Bloom
Perennial Flowers.
New this year are cultivars
of peonies, crepe myrtle and
forsythia, said Robin Ruether,
coordinator of the Prairie
Bloom (perennial) and Prairie
Star (annual) programs.
The new list is separated by
those that grow best in the sun
and those that prefer shade.
Such flowers as asters, carnations, daylilies, irises, and
ornamental grasses are included, as are hostas, shrub roses,
and others. Each cultivars
color, average height, width,
and first week of bloom are also
noted.
Prairie Bloom is not a commercial brand or product line,
Ruether said. Its a list made
up of flowering plant varieties submitted for testing in
the sometimes harsh prairie
climate. Those that grow well
and not all of them do make
the list.
Ruether encourages gardeners to use the list to shop
for specific varieties not a
generic daylily, but the daylily variety Rosy Returns, for
example.
More information about the
Prairie Bloom and Prairie Star
Flower programs is available
at Prairie Star Flowers.

Advertising: Life
after Facebook
A lot of businesses, bands
and non-profit organizations
have been hustling the past
several years to develop their
fan base on Facebook just to
find out in recent months the
Zuckerberg crew has ratcheted
down free FB posts to reach
only 1-2% of your followers.
What the?
Yes, the free sample of
Facebook advertising has
ended.
Now, unless you can convince private page users to
share your business post,
youll only have a micron of the
audience you had before. Under
the new FB policy, if you had
1,000 fans, you would only reach
the news feeds of 10-20 of them.
What FB wants you to do
is hit that boost post button,
which will charge you $5-$100 to
send your post to more peoples
news feeds fans, friends of
fans, etc.
That was probably the plan
all along Facebook is a business after all, and its only right
that the company should expect
a return on its investment,
especially when people trying
to make money on it are taking
what has been up until now a
free ride. Its a rude awakening
to some business people who
have come to the conclusion
that their advertising should
always be free. Not so. The next
FB targets will probably be
those community swap & talk
pages where people sell their
old baby clothes, etc. Facebook
intends to make money, and
nobodys going to get a free
ride.
But there are options to free
Facebook the keys are 1)
finding the option that reaches
your core buyers and produces results in multiples of what
you can afford to invest; and
2) remembering that if youre
going to advertise, you MUST
make a significant offer to generate response.
1) Stay with FB and pay
the posting fee. Try it and see
if it works. If it doesnt, it may
be that it never really did. If
it does, you should be able to
justify your FB generated sales
directly against the cost of the
BUSINESS BEAT

Review Publisher
posting fees.
2) Convince your friends and
fans that do get reached by your
message to share the post. This
kicks your post into another FB
dimension and gets more audience, though you really have no
control whether those who see
it will be in your target market.
3) Start gathering email
addresses again remember,
we all did this before FB and
we probably should never have
stopped. When you have an
offer, shoot out an email that
contains your FB page link.
Fans, etc., can still see your
page if they go directly to it (the
FB limitations are so far only
on organic posts that come
through on their news feeds) so
you can still generate FB traffic
through email.
4) Dont forget conventional
media options. Despite years
of forecasts that newspapers
and radio would dry up due to
the Internet, local and national
companies still spend billions
on conventional advertising
and for only one reason it
still has an audience usually
even a more affluent one than
traditional free social media
consumers. Determine if your
customers are readers or listeners, and then go where they are.
And keep your eyes and ears
open for other alternatives. If
this is as big an online marketing rift as some say it is, it wont
be long until somebody comes
up with another idea.

Tyson reviews bills
passed by Senate
There were several bills of
interest that passed the Senate
at the half-way point of the 2015
legislative session.
But first a quick update on
Senate Bill (SB) 178, the bill that
would be a massive property
tax increase on agriculture by
increasing valuations between
400% and over 650%. The hearing on SB 178 was canceled and
the bill has been stalled in committee. This is good news and
satisfying to know our efforts to
fight the bill were successful so
far. Since we are on a two-year
cycle, the bill is not dead, just
on hold. Hopefully, we will not
hear of this bill again.
The Senate passed Substitute
(Sub) SB 18, a bill that would
keep audio and video recordings made by law enforcement
using a body cameras or vehicle cameras confidential and
exempt from the Kansas Open
Records Act (KORA). The bill
also would allow anyone who
is in a recording, or a parent or
guardian of anyone in a recording under 18, or an attorney for
a person in a recording to view
the video for a reasonable fee.
Sub SB 18 passed unanimously
40 to 0.
KPERS is currently 60%
funded, which is the most it has
been funded in 23 years. The
Governor has proposed issuing
up to $1.5 billion in pension
obligation bonds for KPERS
unfunded liability. As a result,
SB 168 was introduced, which
would authorize the State to
bond $1 billion for KPERS. One
positive is the bill would lower
the States current interest rate
from 8% to 3.5%. However, the
bill increases the amount and
lengthens the time of the States
indebtedness. The bill passed
in the Senate 21 to 17. I voted
No because it increases the
States debt. Interestingly, in
2013, the House passed a similar
bill to issue $1.5 billion pension
obligations, HB 2403. The bill
passed the House but the Senate
did not act on the bill and it died
in committee.
The Senate passed Sub SB

LEGISLATURE
By CARYN TYSON,
Kansas Senate
12th District
60 on a vote of 30 to 9. The
bill would allow homeschooled
or private schooled students to
participate in extracurricular
activities in the public school
district in which they live. The
students would be required to
meet the qualifications same
as public school students to be
eligible to participate, including but not limited to medical immunizations, proof of
insurance, Kansas State High
School Activities Association
(KSHSAA) rules, and any fees.
As these students are residents
of the school district and pay
property taxes to support our
public schools, I voted Yes.
Bills were introduced in the
House (HB 2403) and Senate (SB
273) regarding a block grant to
fund K-12. The bill would give a
specified amount (block grant)
to each school district and
remove all spending restrictions, allowing local control. I
have not had an opportunity to
study the bill.
Every two years the bill
numbers are started over. The
Senate starts at 1, while the
house begins at 2000. It is quite
a coincidence the 2013 HB 2403
is the $1.5 billion bond bill and
the 2015 HB 2403 is the K-12
block grant bill amounting to
around $3 billion.

A trucking safety seminar took place Wednesday, February 18, 2015 at the Community Building, Garnett. Anderson County Farm
Bureau Association sponsored the event. Forty people were in attendance. There were two presenters- Gary Davenport is the
Deputy Director of the Transportation Division, Kansas Corporation Commission and Sgt. Pauline Ferguson, Kansas Highway Patrol,
Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Division. Not only were Anderson County Farm Bureau members invited but it was open to the public. Very good information provided and the people that attended were very happy with what they learned from this. Also, President
Jake Strobel talked briefly about being a member of Farm Bureau. He explained the many benefits they receive as a member & to
contact Cindy at the Farm Bureau office in Garnett for further information. Refreshments were served.
Student volunteers make a difference at Crest
The students at Crest High
School are giving back to their
community, in a BIG way.
During the 2014-15 school year,
seven high school sophomores,
juniors and seniors have
served as volunteer mentors to
elementary students in their
school. This is the second year
that Big Brothers Big Sisters
has served the children of Crest
Elementary School through
the Bigs in Schools program.
During this time, many of the
Bigs and Littles have developed
friendships that will last a lifetime!
The school-based mentoring
program is a popular option
at Big Brothers Big Sisters
because of its simplicity. Bigs
and Littles in this program
meet one on one, once a week
at the school during lunch or
recess. Volunteers can help
with school work, play games
or just be there to listen. Crest
High School students have
stepped up to volunteer each
year, however, adult community members are also encouraged to get involved!
Research shows that the
mentoring program has positive academic, socio-emotional and behavioral outcomes
for youth who face adversity.
Reports show improvements
for youth during the first
year of enrollment in the Big
Brothers Big Sisters program
in the areas of educational success, avoidance of risky behaviors and social-emotional competency.
We have been fortunate to
work with such a great group
of volunteers, kids, and staff
at Crest School, said Jennifer
Keith, Match Specialist. The
smiles on the kids faces let us
know that our volunteers really do make a difference!
Kansas Big Brothers Big
Sisters serves both Crest (USD
479) and Garnett (USD 365)
and also offers a community
based program for school aged
children in Anderson County.
For more information on how
you can get involved with mentoring, call Big Brothers Big
Sisters at (785) 304-1811.

Nutritional guidelines recommendations: Less meat, more veggies
MANHATTAN Despite the
ability to make personal food
choices, many know the Dietary
Guidelines for Americans
as the gold standard model
that focuses on the foods and
beverages that help maintain
a healthy weight and prevent
chronic disease, such as obesity.
The guidelines are developed and published by the
Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) and the
U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) every five years. The
current guidelines were introduced in 2010 and are currently
under review and revision for
2015.
The guidelines recommendations for 2015 were developed
and released recently by the
Dietary Guidelines Advisory
Committee. The recommendations include changes beyond
the familiar MyPlate icon,
used since 2010, that visually
depicts the current guidelines
and helps consumers see how
to balance their food choices for
good health.
Some of those changes for
2015 include recommending
limited amounts of meat, particularly red and processed
meat products, and more plantbased foods in a persons diet.
Currently, these are strictly recommendations to be reviewed
by HHS and USDA, which will
also take into account input
from other agencies and the
public before releasing the
finalized guidelines.
What do these new dietary
guidelines recommendations
actually mean?
Although Americans make
personal food choices, the
guidelines are used to create
menus and food standards for
governmental programs, such
as the school lunch program.
The recommendations could
affect all involved in food production to some degree, including but not limited to industries
related to meat, poultry, dairy,
seafood, grains, fruits and vegetables.
As research continues
to examine the role of diet in
health, the dietary guidance
evolves, said Sandy Procter,
human nutrition specialist for K-State Research and
Extension. While some might
view the changing information as a concern, I believe we
should be encouraged by the
dietary guidance revisions
reminding us that nutrition is
a relatively young science supported by ongoing research.
Travis OQuinn, fresh meat
specialist for K-State Research
and Extension, said while he
acknowledges the nutritional
advantages of various foods,
the proposed recommendations
could affect the meat industry
to a greater extent.
People should know that
meat is a nutrient-dense product, he said, probably one of the
most nutrient-dense food products available. At an appropriate serving size, it can be beneficial to a persons diet.
For example, in a typical
3-ounce serving of lean beef,
a person would eat more than
10 percent of his or her daily
value for nine essential nutrients, including protein, zinc
phosphorus, iron and many
B-vitamins, OQuinn said. That
person would get these nutrients at most likely less than 200
calories in that serving.
Procter, who also is a registered dietitian, agrees that a
3-ounce portion provides great
nutrition, but the issue for most
Americans is that they seldom
stop at 3 ounces.
MyPlate currently shows
about one-fourth of the plate
as a protein source, which can
certainly be lean red meat, she
said. We work with consumers to consider the economic,
nutrition and health benefits of
a variety of protein foods, keeping an eye on portion size.
Why do the recommendations change over time?
The Dietary Guidelines
Advisory Committee includes
many physicians, dietitians
and nutritionists. According
to HHSs Office of Disease
Prevention
and
Health
Promotion, these experts are
nationally recognized in the
field of nutrition and health
and are charged with reviewing recent scientific literature
related to human nutrition
and discussing how to use the
research to make recommendations for the next guidelines
version.
Its not uncommon for the
guidelines to change somewhat
every five years. For example,
the guidelines have previously
recommended Americans limit
cholesterol intake to less than
300 milligrams per dayfound
in less than two eggs or about
four pieces of fried chickenfor
heart health. While the latest
recommendations made by the
committee said to restrict meat
intake, they also said to scrap
the cholesterol limit, based on
evidence it is not a nutrient of
concern for overconsumption.
This again points to evolving science, Procter said. In
the past, cholesterol was considered a factor in the development of heart disease particularly, and since eggs contain cholesterol, we were urged
to avoid over-consumption of
eggs. Now we know that dietary
cholesterol from eggs and other
foods has less effect than was
thought on cholesterol formation in the body.

Poultry owners should be vigilant in watching for signs of avian influenza
MANHATTAN — Poultry owners should be aware that there
is currently an outbreak of the
H5N2 highly pathogenic avian
influenza (HPAI) associated
with the migratory bird flyways in the United States, said
Kansas State University animal
scientist Scott Beyer.
The first problems were
observed with small poultry
flocks on the upper west coast,
which were soon followed by
infections on larger commercial
poultry farms on the southern
west coast. Recently, infections
have occurred in the central flyway, a migratory route which
encompasses three provinces
in Canada and 14 U.S. states,
including Minnesota, Missouri
and Arkansas, where the disease has been confirmed in turkey flocks.
Migratory fowl move north
and south all over the earth
through flyways as they move
from nesting and feeding
grounds, said Beyer, who is a
poultry specialist with K-State
Research and Extension.
When they comingle in these
areas, the avian influenza
virus can sometimes be shared
between the birds, which then
return to their respective flyways bringing new variants of
the virus which may have originated from other continents.
Although this particular variant of the avian virus (H5N2) is
more pathogenic than others,
there have been no incidences
of the virus spreading to other
species or people. As is often
the case, this virus has so far
not been associated with actual
disease symptoms in the migratory fowl so they should be considered potential carriers of
the virus that is pathogenic to
domesticated poultry.
The safety of poultry meat
and eggs is not an issue, Beyer
said. This variant is the H5N2
strain of avian influenza and
although it is harmful to birds,
it has not been associated with
a threat to people or the food
supply. The commercial poultry industry in the U.S. routinely screens for all types of
the avian flu in flocks and any
positive flocks, even those with
variants that are not harmful
to birds or people, are not processed for food.
U.S. poultry industry
routinely monitors for
diseases
Since viruses continually
change form to avoid an animals immune system, the U.S.
poultry industry does not allow
any form of the virus to persist in commercial flocks unlike
some other countries which
allow the non-pathogenic viruses to persist in their flocks, he
said. This reduces the risk of
any virus from becoming more

feed in crop residues and farm
ponds, they leave behind feathers and fecal matter that could
carry the virus. Keeping yourself and pets away from these
areas is crucial to reduce the
chance of carrying the virus
into your facilities, the K-State
specialist said. Do what you
can to encourage these birds to
move away from your facilities
so that you widen the clean
zone around your farm as much
as possible.
Gamebird operations with
birds in netted flight pens
are more vulnerable because
migratory birds flying over
pens could drop fecal matter
and feather dander directly
into the pens. Efforts to reduce
anything that attracts feeding and movement of these
birds around pens should be
implemented. Nets should be
repaired to prevent birds and
animals from entering as much
as possible.
Starlings and sparrows
should be considered vectors
as well, at least until proven
otherwise, Beyer said. With
the spring season now here in
Kansas, these birds are looking
for nesting and feeding areas
and may be persistent in trying
to enter your facilities. Nests
should be removed as they try
to build them and you should
work to keep them from entering as much as possible. Clean
up all spilled feed indoors and
out so they are not attracted.
Move or eliminate bird feeders away from domestic poultry
areas. Netting areas where they
like to nest will also discourage them. If you have roosting
pigeons and starlings in your
barns, these birds will always
be potential sources of all
kinds of avian disease and they
should be eliminated from the
facilities.

pathogenic thus harming birds
and people or affecting our food
supply.
Small poultry flocks, gamebirds enterprises and commercial farms should be wary of
potential exposure. Because
it is thought that the virus
has originated from migratory waterfowl as they move
through their flyway, keeping
them away from domestic poultry is most important. Many
of these waterfowl likely visit
local ponds for rest and feeding.
If you have poultry near
these ponds, you must eliminate all contact between them
and your birds, Beyer said.
This is especially important if
you have your own waterfowl
which could infect your poultry
flock, but could also remain on
the pond as other wild migratory birds stop by and then
become infected by your birds.

look at utility systems to determine what improvements needed to be made for the future.
Electrical, water and sewer
systems will be reviewed and
improved as needed. The examinations will be partly routine maintenance, and partly
because of improvement projects like an upgrade to electrical systems to support the new
Anderson County Hospital.
City leaders are expected to
review bids for a major electric
improvement March 24. That
project will upgrade electric
lines and poles from the citys
power plant, along Walnut
Street to an alley between
Fourth and Fifth avenues, and
to the new hospital on U.S. 59.
Commissioners
heard
a presentation from Mike
Schmaderer, President of
Mid-States Energy Works of
Salina, at their Feb. 24 meeting. Schmaderer told commissioners the electric lines and
poles near the hospital were
built before 1945, and had outlived their design. Most electric
poles have a lifespan of about 30
years, he said. The citys poles
near the hospital are more than
70 years old.
The current poles and power
lines risk imminent failure
to the citys power system,
Schmaderer said. Many poles
show burn marks caused by
fires, and a failure in the circuit
could disrupt electrical service
not only to the hospital but to
about a third of the city, including downtown businesses.
Under his proposal, MidStates Energy Works would
install taller, stronger poles
with more space between them
and a stronger conductor. Old
copper wire would be replaced
with lighter, more powerful
aluminum lines. A new circuit would provide a dedicated
power source to the hospital.
In addition to avoiding
major disruptions in power and
improving safety, the new system will be more efficient, he
said.
City crews have spent the
past few months preparing for
the new power poles by remov-

And here we are roughly 20 years later, Martin said.
That really impressed me.
She said the city sells much
more water than it did in the
1990s because of water needs
for businesses like the ethanol
plant and an oilfield service
company. The citys water plant
manager is worried about the

It was a magical afternoon at Greeley when the father/son duo, Percussion Magic performed for the
students from Greeley and Mont Ida. Johnny Pierce and his son, Adam, teach the art of group drumming for all ages. Students were given tambourines, maracas, claves and colorful drums and allowed
to play, make noise and have fun while learning about rhythms, beats and tempo.
Below: Fourth grade student, Lane Richards leads the group with feet to beat as his fellow drummers
try to follow the beat.
