Cities, counties fear tax impact of state bill
Bill would exempt taxes
for some industries
equipment, machinery
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A controversial
bill now being considered by
the Kansas Legislature is just
another way for state government to say its reducing taxes
while passing the burden to cities and counties, city leaders
said last week.
But proponents of this and
other tax reduction measures
claim such efforts will put more
money into private hands and
help stimulate the Kansas economy.
The bill would change the
way the state taxes machinery
and equipment, and is expected
to have significant impact to
industrial businesses, particularly oil refineries and ethanol plants. Essentially, the bill
would exempt taxes on any
equipment and machinery that
manufactures a product. That
means, using ethanol plants as
an example, all machinery used
in the manufacture of ethanol
would be exempt from taxes.
Ethanol plants instead would
be taxed only for the shell of
the building and equipment
essential to the building, like a
boiler or air conditioner.
Critics say the bill would
shift heavy tax burdens onto
homeowners and other busi-
nesses if local governments
dont reduce expenses accordingly. The Kansas Association
of Counties estimated a similar
bill that died in committee last
year would have cost counties
$400 million.
Anderson County Economic
Development Director Dennis
Arnold said he is very concerned about the bill and the
tax burden it could place on
the counties and cities he
works for, including Garnett
and Anderson County. The
bill could potentially impact
the East Kansas Agri-Energy
Ethanol plant, although the
plant currently is shuttered
and reaps the benefit of a soonSEE TAX ON PAGE 6A
City: To pray
or not to pray?
Fair Time

Commissioner asks
for public input on
prayer question
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT City leaders want
to know where you stand with
prayer and government.
Gordon Blackie, Garnett city
commissioner, is asking members of the public to attend the
March 26 meeting to discuss the
issue of prayer at city meetings.
He would like commissioners
to open each meeting with a
prayer.
The question of prayer
actually began Feb. 12, when
Larry Peine, of Garnett, asked
commissioners to begin their
meetings by saying the Pledge
of Allegiance and a prayer.
Commissioners readily adopted
the first half of his request, and
have since opened meetings by
saying the Pledge of Allegiance.
But the question of prayer was
dropped amid concerns that
doing so could open the city up
to possible litigation over the
separation of church and state,
city attorney Terry Solander
advised.
Blackie wasnt satisfied that
the commission dropped the matter without further discussion.
He pointed out that prayers are
said at the Kansas Legislature
and the U.S. Congress. Fear of
litigation should not be the sole

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT City officials in
Garnett last week promised to
change the way they handle
sealed property bids, after a
recent debacle that ended with
an apology to a bidder and a
reversal on the sale of a piece of
city property.
Chuck Gettler, Garnett,
attended Tuesdays meeting to
complain about a bid he submitted in late 2011. The bid, for an
empty lot on West Sixth Street,
was never presented to commissioners. Instead, city manager
Joyce Martin gave commissioners a bid for the lot from the
Anderson County Historical
Society, and on Feb. 26 they
approved the sale of the lot for
$1,000 less than Gettlers bid.
But at the March 12 meeting,
commissioners learned how the
situation had developed. They
vowed to change the way bids
are handled in the future, and
apologized to Gettler. The historical society withdrew its bid,
and the property was sold to
Gettler.

411 W. Sixth Ave., came into the

Area unemployment improves,
despite seasonal job losses
Anderson County rate
drops over a year, but
higher month-to-month
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Seasonal layoffs bumped up the local and
state unemployment rates in
January compared to the previous December, but state officials say that Kansas and most
of its counties are showing
employment gains on the whole
compared to a year ago.
Locally, Kansas Department
of Labor statistics show unemployment in Anderson County
jumped to 7.3 percent in
January from 5.9 percent in
December 2012. But that change
likely is attributed to seasonal
jobs because of the Christmas
holiday and doesnt reflect the
full picture, state officials said.
Statewide, the unemployment rate was 6.2 percent, above
Decembers rate of 5.5 percent.
But compared to the same
month a year ago, Januarys
job picture looks quite a bit
brighter. The state added 19,300
private sector jobs and 16,900
nonfarm jobs since January
2012.
After seasonal factors are
accounted for, Kansas started
the year with healthy job growth
in the private sector, said
Tyler Tenbrink, Senior Labor
Economist. This is on top of
favorable annual revisions to
the 2011 and 2012 employment
estimates.
Eight of the 11 major industries showed job gains since
January 2012. Professional and
business services added 8,600
jobs. Leisure and hospitality gained 3,000 jobs. Financial
activities gained 2,400 jobs.
The Kansas labor market
has continued to improve adding more than 19,000 private
sector jobs this past year, said
Lana Gordon, Secretary of
Labor. This is a positive start
for 2013 that we hope to see continue.
In
Anderson
County,
Januarys employment picture
is better than it was a year ago.
This years January rate of 7.3

Citizen Concerns
Jim Cox met with the commission and
voiced his concern on the construction of
a new hospital. He is concerned that St.
Lukes will eventually leave the county
and leave the citizens with the whole bill
on the bonds.
Lake Region Solid Waste
Michelle Miller, Road Secretary, met
with the commission. She reported
they needed to appoint Scott Garrett to
the Solid Waste Board. Commissioner
Johnson moved to appoint Scott Garrett
to replace Jay Sloan on the Lake Region
Solid Authority Board of Directors and
the Lake Region Solid Waste Authority
Management Committee. Commissioner

reported Scott would like to have a lap
top computer at the landfill so they could
take on line classes for some of the programs at the landfill.
Road and Bridge
Lester Welsh, Road Supervisor, met
with the commission. Fuel bids for the
month of March were presented. Leroy
Co-op received the total fuel bids for
the month. He would like to sign minimum maintenance roads. Commission
approved to check on prices. George
Kellerman joined the meeting and voiced
concerns about the roads not being wide
enough last week and so he called in
to have it widened. When the grader
showed up and widened the road he
was rude when George went to thank
him. George also complimented the road
crew on the condition of the Bush City
Road by Thursday night. Discussion
was held on the different department
heads and which ones should be exempt
and not receive sick and vacation. The
county counselor will be questioned.
Commissioner Johnson moved to recess
into executive session for 10 minutes
to discuss non-elected personnel with
Lester Welsh, Road Supervisor, and
County Clerk Phyllis Gettler in attendance. Open meeting to resume at

onded. Approved 3-0.
Salary Review
Rebecca Crowder, Austin Peters
Group, met with the commission to
present a proposal for reviewing the
county job descriptions and pay ranges.
Commissioner Johnson stated he felt it
is needed to look at the job descriptions
since it has been 13 years however he is
concerned that if the company comes in
and reviews wages also there could be
a recommendation to increase wages
4-5%. Rebecca stated that they would
present recommendation, however, it
would be up to the commission on how
and if the recommendations are implemented. Commission would like a week
to look at the proposal.
Sheriff Valentine
Sheriff Valentine met with the commission. The commission questioned if
it would be possible to figure out how
much it costs per day to hold a prisoner.
The sheriff presented a report showing
how much it costs per prisoner, however,
the county prisoners do not create an
income. No matter how many prisoners
we have they will still have the same
number of jailers and certain other costs
that would remain the same.

Commissioner Johnson moved to
recess into executive session for 10
minutes to discuss non-elected personnel with Sheriff Valentine and County
Counselor James Campbell in attendance. Open meeting to resume at
11:00. Commissioner Howarter seconded. Approved 3-0. No action after executive session.

PRAYER…

reason the city avoids prayer,
he said.
Weve become frozen by
fear of what ifs, Blackie said.
Some things just arent worth
fighting for, but prayer is incredibly valuable. … We ask the question what will it cost if we pray?
I ask, what will it cost if we do
not pray?
Fellow commissioners Greg
Gwin and Preston Peine said
they wanted to take time to consider the issue and seek public
opinion. Blackie said he would
encourage people to attend the
March 26 meeting to discuss the
matter.

Moved to Garnett, KS as a child.
Graduated Garnett High School
May 1947.
Served in the Army (1948-
citys possession in 2010 after
the city condemned a house on
the property for disrepair. The
owners abandoned the property, and it was sold to the city at
a sheriffs sale. The city claimed
to have more than $7,700 in the
property with demolition costs,
property taxes and general
upkeep like mowing. Martin
said city leaders decided they
needed at least $5,000 for the
property to recoup most of the
expense.
In December 2011, Gettler
submitted a sealed bid for the
property, offering to buy it for
$3,100. He asked Martin how
long the city would take bids,
and she told him probably forever. Gettler said it was his
first time submitting a sealed
bid to the city, and he expected Martin would contact him
if they city decided to sell the
property. Martin said because
the bid was below the citys target of $5,000, she did not present
it to commissioners. As time
passed, she assumed Gettler
was no longer interested.
More than a year later, Martin
and staff members decided it
was time to unload some of the
citys property. The city owns
several pieces of property it
acquired in a similar manner,
Martin said, and those properties come with costs for maintenance and taxes. Because of difficult economic times, it made
more sense for the city to sell
off some of its unused property, even at a loss, rather than
continue to pay for taxes and
maintenance, Martin said.
A city employee connected
with the historical society
apparently learned of the citys
intentions to offload property. The lot at 411 W. Sixth
is across from the historical
societys museum, and the society thought it could be used
for parking. Historical society
members were not aware of
Gettlers bid, and offered the
city $2,002.
At the Feb. 26 meeting,
Martin recommended the city
accept the historical societys
offer. She told commissioners
there had been another bid for
the property, but said it was not
being considered and did not
provide details about Gettlers
bid. Commissioners accepted
Chapter 1901. Lou was on the St.
Johns School Board and St. Johns
Parish Council. His life was his
grandkids. He enjoyed gardening
and puttering in his shop.
Lou was preceded in death by
his parents and one grandson, Ryan
Campbell.
He is survived by his wife,

The public should wonder
how prepared candidates are
for public-ness of posts
In Garnett, seven locals apply for an
appointment to fill a vacancy on the city
commission via a secret interview process with the remaining commissioners,
but none of them run for the office a few
months later in an open election to the same
body.
In Linn County, a newly-elected sheriff
initially violates
the Kansas Open
EDITORIAL
Records Act in
refusing to release
the identities of
those arrested in
the attempted holdup of a bank at
Kincaid.
Both examples
are fodder for the
suspicion that
sometimes those
seeking public
by Dane Hicks,
office dont realPUBLISHER
ize how public
public service is supposed to be. There is
no doubt an understandable learning curve
for those who opt to seek public office, but
there is also the justifiable expectation from
the public that those in such leadership
positions are ready to be accountable the
day they take the oath. This isnt just the
fault of unseasoned or unprepared candidates, its also the fault of the system and
the means by which they get the job.
In the case of the Garnett commissioner
appointment, interviews with the seven
applicants last December were held in
secret under some guise of protecting their
private communications. It seems odd to
evaluate those seeking a policy-making position outside the view of the public; it would
appear the rights of the public to know the
stands of those candidates on issues would
outweigh their right to keep those opinions
secret. Even national posts like the recent
appointments of Secretary of State and
Secretary of Defense are done after public hearings, and neither of those is even
elected. The process used in Garnett may be
legal, but it is arguably flawed.
Maybe commissioner Greg Gwin, whose
post it is thats up for election in two weeks,
is popular to the point that none of those
applicants wanted to run against him or
maybe hes viewed as unbeatable. But the
fact remains that given the opportunity to
run for election, most of the applicants for
the vacant post last December opted not to
undergo the scrutiny of the public process;
only former commissioner Mike Norman
and Ken Miller, who ran unsuccessfully
for county commissioner the previous
November, had subjected themselves to public campaigns in the past.
Campaigns for city commissioner typically are neither expensive nor rigorous
but do allow the public a chance to pick the
brain of the candidate. That process is a
good one; it many times brings candidates
to Lions Club, to Rotary, to Optimists or the
local Senior Citizens Center to hear and
be heard by facets of the community they
may never have experienced. They have to
answer questions and be analyzed by the
public. Still and for whatever reason, seven
people wanted Dan Morgans old commissioner post and no one seemed to want
Gwins except Gwin.
Linn County Sheriff Paul Fillas denial
of the public trust was particularly notable considering that, as a lawman, he is
responsible for upholding the Kansas Open
Records Act the same as he is any other
state law. We still dont know why jailers
under Fillas command refused our request
for public booking information. Those
answering the phone said they werent
authorized to release the public records
of the two Missouri men arrested in connection with the attempted robbery of the bank
at Kincaid and subsequent shoot-out with
law officers. Only after the Review initiated
an investigation by the Kansas Attorney
Generals office – and issued press releases
to that effect – did Filla acknowledge the law
and provide the information.
The clich is worn but poignant: people
in this country have a right to know. Those
seeking public office by whatever means
should know and respect that going in.
This here large increase in city
employees, I dont know, but being
we had to give everybody a big name
title and an increase they probably
had to have an assistant and then
the assistant probably had to have an
assistant. Extra costs going into buying a bunch of extra desks and extra
shovels so theyd all have something
to lean on. But it is kind of silly that
we got to have that many employees
and nothing is improving.
Gettler: City manager
mishandled property bid
I would like to let the public know
how a sealed bid works with the city
manager.
I hand-delivered my sealed bid to her
for a vacant lot that the city owned and
were trying to sell. I asked her how long
will she be taking sealed bids and she
said probably forever. That was on
December 29, 2011.
During the city
commission meeting 02/26/12, she
told the city commissioners there was no interest in the
property and the city has to pay taxes
on it. We need to do what is best for
the city and sell it. She recommended
selling the lot to the Anderson County
Historic Society for $2002.75. My bid was
for $3100, $1,097.25 higher than theirs.
The city manager stated that there
was one other bid besides the historical societys which was not accepted.
Come to find out, my bid never made it
to the city commission to be accepted or
denied. The city manager went beyond
her powers and denied it. The city manager had also talked the commission
into starting the 2/26/13 meeting at 5pm
instead of the usual 6pm. Discussion
on the recommendation to sell the lot
ended 10 minutes before 6pm according
to the minutes and I, nor was anyone
else, notified.
I attended the next commission meeting and got to listen to a long story from
her why my bid was not accepted.
When I first put
my bid in, a committee composed
of city staff and
the city manager,
denied my bid in
the office and I
was never notified. So a little more than
a year later they accept a low bid.
During the city commissioner meeting that I attended, the commissioners
corrected the matter and accepted my
bid. They said that they will change the
way bids are to be handled in the future
and improve policies to create more
oversight.
It is hard for the city manager to earn
trust and respect when information is
withheld from the commissioners when
she makes her recommendations.
Sincerely,
Chuck Gettler,
Garnett
Building a new hospital is
not the only option available
Dear Editor:
On April 2, 2013, the voters of
Anderson County will be asked to vote
on a $25,365,000 bond issue for a new
hospital to be located in Garnett. This
bond election has been brought forth
by St. Lukes who currently leases the
hospital and is being pitched as the
solution for keeping healthcare in
Anderson County at the most reasonable cost. It has been deemed that the
current building has outlived its useful life and people St. Lukes has hired
determined it would cost $21 million to
repair it. Forgive me for being skeptical, but why has the operational board
not been talking about the maintenance
costs and needs before we have reached
these dire straits with the current facility? Theres been no mention of these
needs until its supposedly too late and
were staring down the proverbial barrel of the gun. What role does this operational board serve? Do they merely do
what St. Lukes asks and forward it on to
the taxpayers? This bond issue is almost
being presented as a vote yes or else
proposition which seems silly. The people of Anderson County own Anderson
County Hospital. Please remember that
when you go to the polls on April 2.
If you watch the news or read the
newspaper, now would not seem to be a
very good time to be asking taxpayers to
commit to $25 million of increased taxes
over the next 30 years with no guarantees. The local economy has been affected by weather and loss of industry; a
whole new healthcare system is set to be
phased in which I believe no one knows
the exact consequences that could have
on rural healthcare; and we still owe on
the previous re-model/update.
I feel that the voters of the coun-
ty have been left short their options,
especially if you do some research and
look at exactly the amount of business
Anderson County Hospital does. In consulting the Kansas Hospital Association
Annual STAT Report for 2011, it shows
that 1-25% of the residents in Anderson
County remain in the county for hospital care. The other 75%, if they need
hospital care, are admitted to facilities
outside our county borders. These numbers were the same for 2009 and 2010.
Are these the types of numbers that
require a $25 million facility with 30
years of debt for taxpayers? Especially
considering when our neighbors down
the road in Allen County only spent $25
million to construct their hospital.
Utilization data for FY 2009-10 shows
that there was an average of 8 ER visits
per day and only 450 surgical procedures performed for the year. However,
comparatively speaking, Allen County
has a population one and a half the size
of Anderson County and performs twice
the number of surgical procedures per
year. Obviously, people utilize the facility and the services, but perhaps its time
for the people of Anderson County to
lead the dialog about what the next step
should be for health care in Anderson
County rather than St. Lukes leading
the charge at our expense.
I urge everyone to look at BOTH sides
of this issue and realize that healthcare
is not going away in Anderson County if
you vote NO on April 2, we will merely
be able to examine a more reasonable
and hopefully affordable option for the
residents of this county.
Sincerely,
Dana Spencer,
Colony
I want to comment on the person that
called about the 92 or 94 employees. I
think its wrong that they get to use
the rec center for free. That is my tax
money plus I have to pay to use? Its
not right. They lied to us. Not gonna
use no tax money on it, and look here,
Im paying for them to go out there
and fool around. Thank you.
On the person that wrote about Mrs.
Obama traveling and all that stuff.
White guys, just get over it. Shes
not doing anything every other presidents wife has done. Its nothing different. I get so sick of hearing people
say everythings Obamas fault. Guess
what, all the presidents wives traveled. Get over yourself. Try to support
your president for once. Im sure if
this was a white lady there wouldnt
be a word said. Get over it.
I read the new part-time county attorney is discussing the purchase of a
$10,000 desk. It is difficult for me to
picture a desk of that value. Times are
tough in Anderson County. Gasoline
prices are sky high. The number of
home foreclosures published in this
newspaper the past year is almost
unbelievable. The local employment
situation is very bad. Many people
are trying to hang on and meet their
ever increasing daily living expenses.
It appears its going to get worse. I
would hope our local governments
will live within our citizens means.
We cant print money like the federal
government.
This is in reference to the person
complaining about our lawmen. We
complain when we think they arent
doing their job, and then we complain
when they are doing their jobs. If you
dont break the law you dont have to
worry about getting a ticket. They are
trying to protect our town and county.
Let them do their job.
We need to be really appreciative of
our first responders and our firemen.
They devote a lot of their time for
meetings and training and then they
volunteer their time to trying to save
our lives and our property. We owe
them a big thank you and we hope
they will always be there for us.
Anderson County and particularly
Garnett looks more like a junkyard
everyday. The south lake has so much
trash around it, particularly along
the rail trail, that Im afraid to drink
the water. The city is paying so that
their employees can get some exercise
and I think that they should put them
to work cleaning up the trash.
I got the privilege to sit in on the City
of Garnett Municipal Court Thursday.
The attending police officer on duty
in the courtroom sat the entire time
drinking from a large Styrofoam cup
and texting on his cell phone. Cant
the City of Garnett demand a little
more professionalism and courtesy
than that from that officer? Thanks.

FROM PAGE 1A
to-expire 10-year tax exemption
through its initial Industrial
Revenue Bond funding. The
bill now under consideration,
House Bill 2285, would significantly reduce the plants tax
burden if and when it comes
onto the tax roll. Other local
industries also could see their
taxes reduced.
Arnold said he is concerned
about the impact of the bill,
especially because it could set a
precedent for tax exemptions.
That would be such a huge
can of worms. Can you imagine
McDonalds saying all you can
tax is the shell of the building?
Arnold said.
The bill is supported by the
Kansas Chamber of Commerce
and is backed by key Republican
leaders. Sen. Caryn Tyson, who
represents Anderson County in
Dist. 12, was invited to meet
with city and county leaders at
a joint meeting tonight to discuss the bill and other issues.
The bill came about primarily after two industrial businesses protested high tax bills. CVR,
a nitrogen fertilizer plant in
Montgomery County, appealed
an $11 million tax bill after its
10-year tax abatement ended,
saying another fertilizer plant
in another county benefited
from its appraisal as personal
property, giving it a lower tax
bill and a competitive advantage. In Neosho County, Ash
Grove Cement Co. appealed on
similar grounds, protesting its
$7 million tax bill. Both companies lost their cases in court,
and instead focused on lobby
efforts to change the law. The
bill under consideration would
not be retroactive.
The Kansas House taxation committee passed the bill
March 12, sending it to the
general House for consideration. Governor Brownback
and Republican leaders have
argued in general that tax cuts,
to employees via reduction or
abolition of state income taxes
and to business and industry
by similar tax decreases, would
stimulate the economy by sending more money into private
hands and less into government.
Arnold and city leaders said
they were concerned that lost
tax revenue from the machinery and equipment bill, if
passed, would make it even
more challenging for cities and
counties to provide adequate
services. Even larger municipalities, like governments in
Wyandotte and Johnson counties, have spoken against the
bill. In Johnson County, for
example, an appraiser said residential property taxes could
increase by 10 to 15 percent.
I think sitting idly by, even
as a small rural community,
would be a disservice, Garnett
commissioner Preston Peine
said, adding that he would be
willing to sign a letter stating
his disproval of the bill.

I would not be here today if
it were not for the great care
that I received at Anderson
County Hospital! In 1996, I had
a heart attack with a 98
percent blockage. I went to
Anderson County Hospital and
was immediately life- flighted
to Saint Lukes Hospital and my
life was saved.
I recently had a surgery out
of town and requested that
I be transferred home to
Anderson County Hospital
to continue my recovery.
We are lucky to have a hospital
right here. My wife and I have used Anderson County Hospital
for many years now, and the care has always been great! If
you care about your own health, and your neighbors, you
should vote YES for a new hospital on April 2.
It makes a big difference
when youre a patient, to be
cared for by your friends and
family. I encourage you to
vote YES for a new hospital
on April 2. Excellent care
locally is definitely well worth it!

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, March 19, 2013
Remember old-time religion?
How about that old-time
religion? That the early colonists, especially the Puritans
and Pilgrims, were extremely
devout is obvious from the fact
that they regularly sat through
two-to-three hour services and
60-minute prayers in unheated
churches in the middle of winter. The small metal foot warmers some of them brought
along helped a little, but the
coals always burned out before
the service ended.
People were summoned to
the church twice each Sunday
and on other occasions by various methods, since few owned
clocks or pocket watches. The
call was given by raising a flag,
ringing a bell, firing a gun
or cannon, blowing a bugle
or conch shell, or beating a
drum.
There was a tendency to fall
asleep or at least to doze off
during long services, especially in warmer weather, but that
was not as easy as it sounds in
pews consisting of hard plank
benches with straight backs
and moldings at the top of the
backs to discourage slouching.
In addition, there was the
tithing man, armed with a long
tithing rod that had a knob
on one end to awaken sleep-

for local archeology information.
ing men and a gentler hares
foot or feather on the other to
arouse the women. He also was
charged with the job of keeping
order among the younger children who accompanied their
elders to church. If the church
was large enough, there were
dog pelters and dog whippers
to cope with the canines who
came along to help warm the
feet of their masters in cold
weather and were known to
bay and moan during the musical intervals.
The tithing man also had the
responsibility for seeing that
all nearby taverns were closed
during services, although the
innkeepers themselves were
required to clear their houses.
In one place in Virginia, the
Captain of the Guard searched
private homes looking for
church dodgers. Anyone failing to appear in church would
be forcibly carried there by the
tithing man or constable or a
squad of soldiers.
There is a record of one
individual who fell asleep so
soundly and so often during
services that he was fined as
a common sleeper. At least
one woman was fined for sitting in another persons pew.
Taverns could not be
closed entirely on the Sabbath
because they were needed as
places to rest and sources of
food and liquid refreshments
between services in the cold,
damp churches by members
of the congregation who had
come some distance and had
no other place to go on inclement days. Those families that
brought their lunch to eat
between services ate in sheds
called noon houses that had
a fireplace on one end. Traffic
usually was stopped in front of
churches while services were
in progress. Quite different
than most of us do it today.
One thing a lot of us practice
or look forward to is eating out
after our church services.
1983: Abandoned baby found
March 18, 2003
A Wellsville woman will have
her first appearance in Anderson
County District Court today on
charges of vehicular homicide
in connection with the deaths of
two Central Heights High School
students in May. The woman
faces the charges in connection
with the May 19, 20002, deaths
of two 17 year old girls who died
when the car in which they were
riding was struck in the rear by
the womans SUV while the girls
were stopped at the Scipio turnoff on U.S. 59, waiting for a car in
front of them to turn.
A Garnett housing developer
is seeking city assistance with
the cost of storm water drainage on a tract of land he hopes
to turn into a 22-home residential development east of Maple
Street. The developer bought an
option on the Bell Addition in
Garnett almost two years ago
for a historic themed neighborhood of Victorianesque homes,
but told city staff the $34,0000 in
drainage work the site needed
shouldnt be his responsibility.

City residents who take part
in Garnett city recreation programs will most likely see higher
fees this summer and next year,
as the City of Garnett tries to
narrow the difference between
costs for some city programs and
the revenues generated by participants to help pay for them.
Though no official action has yet
been taken by the city commission, it will most likely act in the
near future on recommendations
of the citys parks and recreation
advisory board, which will raise
fees this summer of the municipal swimming pool and summer
baseball program. Fees for camping, boating, and fishing permits
are expected to be reviewed next
year.

A baby was found abandoned
Thursday afternoon in a cardboard box beside a tree southwest
of the Anderson County Hospital
in Garnett. The baby was clothed
in a diaper, pajamas and a blanket, and a note was left in the box
with the baby. The handwritten
note in the box with the baby
said that the mother was 16 years
old, unable to care for the child,
and would like to have someone
found who could love the child as
much as she did. The child was
suffering from low body temperature when found, but quickly
recovered and was healthy by
Thursday evening. The baby was
four to five days old when found,
and the umbilical cord was tied
with what appeared to be fishing
cord about six inches from the
abdomen. The baby appeared to
be a home delivery. The child is
a white male that the hospital
named Patrick Doe, since he was

Last evening, between 5 and 6
oclock, a terrible looking cloud
came up in the west, and all the
indications pointed to a severe
windstorm; many persons especially women were frightened.
About 6 oclock, rain began to
fall, and continued some time.
Very little wind accompanied
the rain here. It was reported
here that Welda and Colony suffered from the wind, but upon
inquiry, we learned that this was
a mistake. Indeed, we have not
been able to learn of any damage from wind in this county.
However, this mornings Kansas
City papers report a serious
windstorm in various parts of
the state. At Alta Vista, there
was a tornado.

A humble shepherd with Community helps celebrate anniversary
a message from God
Amos was the shepherdprophet of the Old Testament
who denounced the people
of the Northern Kingdom of
Israel for their idol worship,
graft and corruption, and
oppression of the poor.
Although he prophesied to
the Northern Kingdom Amos
was from Judah which was
in the Southern Kingdom.
He came from the village of
Tekoa which was ten miles
south of Jerusalem. Amoss
background is listed in Amos
7:14-15 when he (Amos)
answers Amaziah the priest of
Bethel who questions Amoss
authority in Israel. Then
Amos answered and said to
Amaziah, I was no prophet,
nor a prophets son, but was
a herdsman and a dresser of
sycamore figs. But the LORD
took me from following the
flock and the LORD said to
me, Go prophesy to my people
Israel.
Amos began his ministry by issuing harsh words
of judgment against the six
nations surrounding the lands
of Judah and Israel. He then
announces Gods judgment
against Judah Israels sister
nation to the south. Since
Israel was bitter toward all
of her neighboring nations as
well as Judah her sister nation
this forecast of doom was well
accepted. However Israel had
broken her covenant with God
and judgment awaited. Amos
carried the message.
Amos then begins a vivid
description of Gods judgment
against Israel. Amos says
Israel will be judged because
of her oppression of the poor,
worship of idols, their rejection of Gods salvation and the
defilement of the Lords holy
Family, friends and neighbors gathered at One-Stop on
Wednesday evening for a special anniversary celebration
to honor Bill and Jan Page for
54 years of wedded bliss.
Happy Birthday wishes go
out to Jo Hampton on March
16, Donna Nickell on March 18

19.
Janice Stahl traveled to
Topeka this past week, where
she enjoyed several days as

name. Amos made it plain that
Israel would be judged severely unless the people turned
from their sin and looked to
the one true God for strength
and guidance.
God through the prophesying of Amos tells the people
in Amos 4:12, Therefore
this I will do to you, O Israel;
because I will do this to you,
prepare to meet your God, O
Israel. Israel was not ready
to meet her God and even after
the prophesy of Amos there
is no record that Israel ever
changed its ways. About 40
years after Amos prophesied
Israel collapsed when the
Assyrians overran their capital city of Samaria and carried
away many of the leading citizens into captivity.
The book of Amos underlines the princpal that religion
demands righteous behavior.
Authentic worship results
in changed behavior, seeking Gods will, treating others with justice and following
Gods commands. Perhaps
Amos most famous words
were, Let justice run down
like water, and righteousness
like a mighty stream, (Amos
5:24) Are we ready for that?
