Public sequester means
different way of operating
for public entities, business
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The public sequester
period that began last week for
Kansas residents has meant a number of changes for Anderson County
residents, as government officials
and businesses discourage groups
of people from congregating in otherwise public areas to thwart the
spread of the Covid19 virus.
As of yesterday 82 Kansas residents had been diagnosed with the
flu-like sickness, most of those in
Johnson and Wyandotte counties,
with two fatalities.
Kansas Department of Health
and Environment officials reported
running more than 400 tests on individuals showing symptoms through
Tuesday of last week, but stopped
reporting negative test results on
Wednesday because so many more
private tests were being conducted.
At KDHEs last report of negative
tests on March 17, the 16 positive
diagnoses reflected about 3.6 percent of those tested.
County offices:
County government buildings
including the Anderson County
Courthouse are closed to the public
until further notice, though county office staff are still available to
serve customers via phone and
Internet.

Pros give tips to keep you from
going mental over Covid19
Kansas News Service
Theres a lot of uncertainty
surrounding the current coronavirus outbreak, and the disruptions to daily life can take
a toll on someones mental
health.
Mental Health Association
of South-Central Kansas
spokesman Eric Littwiler says
clinicians there are, understandably, seeing a lot of cases
of anxiety and depression.
I think people are feeling
like the world theyre used to is
just shifting underneath their
feet, he says, and that creates that anxiety and creates
that depression even for people
who havent dealt with it in the
past.
He says the organization is
still doing in-person appointments and recently introduced
a video therapy option for people staying home.
Littwiler says one of the
best things you can do when
so much is changing is to try to
maintain your routines as best
you can.
This is not the time to
deprive yourself of whatever
tools you might need to take
care of yourself.
Here are some of his other
tips for staying healthy:
Keep up the self-care
Anything you possibly
need from a self-care standpoint, you need to continue
doing that, Littwiler says.
That means keeping your regular counseling appointments;
if you normally go to the gym,
find ways to work out at home.
If you cant go to work
anymore, theres nothing you
can do about that. What other
things can you do? Littwiler
says. Try to hold on to those
pieces of your routine that
youre able to.

Ads that work, ads that dont
Ive seen advertising that
works and advertising that doesnt
work. But as a business owner or
manager how do you start out with
a better-than average bet that the
advertising youre getting ready to
do is going to work?
It doesnt matter where you
advertise Facebook, local radio,
the newspaper, billboards, a sign
stuck in your yard the success of
your advertising depends on how
you approach a handful of basic
business principles.
What do you want? What do you
want your advertising to do? Do
you want customers to flock into
your store to a heavy discount
clearance sale? Do you want your
advertising to establish a brand
identity for your business to build
long-term, generational customers
(like McDonalds)? Do you want
to create good will? Do you want
some kind of combination of the
above? Prioritize your expectations and understand your own
objectives.
The market: Whos the customer for your product or service and
why do they want it? Is it a big general market with lots of customers
in it like for groceries or gasoline,
or is it a narrow market with few
customers like the one for prosthetics? In short, who buys what
youre selling, and why?
The competition: Who is your
competition and what is their
approach? What advantage do you
have over your competitor (price,
expertise, location, convenience,
testimonials from satisfied customers) that you can maximize,
and what disadvantages do you
have that you need to minimize?
Budget: Whats it worth to capture the customers and sales you
want your advertising to generate? A new customer for an auto
mechanic, for instance, will be
worth hundreds, probably even
thousands of dollars in service
work over time if the relationship
stays positive. Is that worth $50 in

advertising? $1,000? Your budget
is obviously contingent on what
you can afford, but you also need
to consider what you realistically
expect the investment to return in
terms of dollars/profit.
Attention: So you know your
objectives and your budget and
your customers and you know
where you rank with the competition now, what gets the attention
of your target customers? Are they
driving down the highway passing billboards and listening to the
radio? Are they sitting down with
a cup of coffee reading the paper?
Are they 16 years old with their
noses stuck in their smart phones?
Wherever your customer has his/
her attention thats where your
ad should be.
Benefit: Craft your ad with a
benefit for the customer in mind.
If youre a lawyer, simply putting
your name or your firm name
on a billboard is a snoozer but
a headline that says Learn the
three biggest mistakes men make
in divorce call Joe Blow attorney that has more impact to a
defined market.
Once you work through those
foundational aspects, youll have

Howard Reiter gave the
Communion Meditation over
Fretting. We must remember
that God is always in control,
and fretting is a waste of time.
It is easy to get sidetracked
by issues that wont matter at
lifes end. Feed on Gods word,
make it your goal to meet God
with a heart of wisdom, not a
heart of care. Psalm 90:10-17
Pastor Chase Riebel gave
the sermon on Protect the
Family – Marriage. Marriage
was the first institution that
God created. In Genesis 2:118,
God made a helper that was
just right for the man. To get
more out of our marriages, we
must feed our spouse with
words of love and affirmation,
take care of, etc. God tells
Adam and Eve to multiply and
fill the earth. This is also his
plan for the church. We are to

our faith to the test
Every once in awhile something happens to change the
landscape of our country.
Both world wars did that, the
flu epidemic in 1918 was a contributor, and the 911 disaster
was the last thing until we
were introduced to the coronavirus. The difficult part of the
latest intruder is it threatens to
force isolation on our country,
so it becomes very difficult to
bring any sanity to the situation. Isolation creates fear and
a dependence on the media for
information which can in some
instances create more fear.
When you interrupt community within a group of people they
begin to feel abandoned. For
instance part of the solution
to 911 was the coming together of the country all through
the aftermath and cleanup. A
sense of need was felt and soon
this manifested itself in people standing together to rectify
the situation. This situation
is quite different and as good
of source as social media is
we may finally again realize it
would be nice to reach out and
touch someone. There is an element in that exchange that we
as human beings need. God did
not leave Adam in the garden
alone.
Certainly there is much to
fear with this virus. Even if one
escapes the threat and does not
get ill we have seen our equity
erode one third due to market
fears. So what is the solution
we need to be pointing toward
going forward. The only basis
I can present occurred to my
family in 1918. My grandparents had eight children. Within
two days during the flu epidemic in 1918 three of the girls (my
aunts) died. I have an old newspaper which on the front page
gives the following information. Three young Bilderback
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
girls, Eva (13) Esther (11) and
Ruth (8) died of the flu. The
funerals were held at the home.
There was no music as the rest
of the house was down with the
flu. Not only did my grandmother live through this she
had another child and lived
within a few weeks of being
100 years old passing away in
1980. Her religious convictions
were rooted deeper than anyone I have known. I will never
know but Im sure those two
days in 1918 changed her life in
many ways. The subject was
never one for much discussion.
Perhaps the greatest attribute
she possessed was her ability
to remain calm, never panic,
never look for or dwell on the
negative, always in control of
the situation.
God makes a statement in
Joshua 1:5 that will provide us
some comfort. Moses has died
and God is annointing Joshua
to lead the people into the promised land. He says to Joshua,
As I was with Moses I will be
with you; I will never leave you
or forsake you. We might lose
everything even our life but at
the end of the road we will see
God standing and waiting for
us. It takes a rock solid faith to
stand thru adversity. Ours is
about to be tested.
Ministry on the Holiness of God.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, March 24, 2020
OPINION
Lessons these times will teach
One thing for certain, some things are going
to be different now.
Regardless of the assessment of the real
threat of Covid19 and the debate over whether
the cure in the short run is actually worse than
the disease, the nation has been thrust into an
emergency and lessons will be learned from it.
There will be lessons in the health care
system and in the nations level of preparation
and response to such threats. In much the same
way as the United States was surprised by the
Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941, the
U.S. was clearly caught napping in some ways
with regard to this virus and its true level of
threat. This subject of debate has been overshadowed at this time by citizens and leaders
attempts to cope with what may yet turn out to
be a mostly hollow biological crisis, but it will
be fodder for discourse in the future.
It is notable that much of the stoppage in
the U.S. economy currently has nothing to do
with the health threat presented by the virus;
instead more immediately with the actions
of government to protect us from it. As other
countries harder and earlier hit by the sickness
now start to relay recovery data, the question
will be prompted as to whether the U.S. governmental response was a needless over reaction
or a justified precaution. There will no doubt
be differing schools of thought for years to
come, and the resulting summations will forever affect U.S. domestic policy.
Justified or not, what is clear is that a number of aspects of the emergency have forced
both the citizenry and its leaders to find new
ways to confront issues of distance. Social
Distancing has presented certain problems
even for a population that increasingly avoids
proximity by virtue of our reliance on social
media. Still, the remaining aspects of personal
interaction may be a casualty of this emergency, and no doubt well all be looking for other
means to do business and conduct life outside
of the immediate venue of our neighbors and
neighborhoods.
When the public shock phase has concluded,
and it hasnt yet as of this point, it seems a fair
prediction that business and institutions will
seek more in the way of online and electronic
REVIEW COMMENTARY

connectivity as a means to bridge physical distance, which has now proven to be more fluid
that we previously imagined. The precursor
being online shopping and increased levels of
delivery services, main street businesses and
service providers will be more attuned to online
commerce as a means of regular operation a
product of being unprepared for it or simply
unwilling prior to Covid19.
It may be that one of the biggest transformations will be in local schools. While college and
other advanced courses have extended online
learning options for years, our cultural and
societal mindset has still focused on the neighborhood school as the locus for elementary and
secondary education. When the local school
districts we talked to in preparation for todays
publication are finished hammering out their
online plans to connect with their students
during this extended distancing period, educators may have inadvertently found the adaptation to a new spatial paradigm which doesnt
limit them to geography. It may be that other
factors, like course offerings, specific teachers
and school reputations become the defining
factors impacting non-geographic enrollment,
instead of whether or not students reside in a
certain geographic district.
We can be thankful so far that these lessons
will have been learned not by tragedy, as is so
often the case, but by consternation and inconvenience. Given the choice, this is the way we
would have hoped.

I would really appreciate it if someone would
take the time to inform we taxpayers of how the
Emergency Management Department is funded. Before someone gets testy and responds that
they hope my house burns down, I hope as a taxpayer we have a legitimate right to an answer.
I know that my tax assessment shows a levy
for the fire district. What I do not understand
is why there are continual requests for more
funding for various expensive items during
the commission meetings. These requests are
almost always approved also. Does Emergency
Management submit a budget yearly? Are they
not requesting enough in their budget? Are
they lacking enough to do that they just sit
around thinking up new ways to spend our taxpayer dollars? The latest request for a new fire
station blows my mind. Water leaks? Really?
Some choose animals over Covid19 research
Top U.S. health officials recently delivered
a sobering message: Americans must prepare
for the inevitable spread of the coronavirus
within the United States. So far in the U.S., 11
people have died. The virus has claimed the
lives of more than 3,200 people and infected
over 95,000 worldwide.
Fortunately, the worlds top medical
researchers are working on a vaccine for the
coronavirus, or COVID-19. That vaccine is
poised to be the product of animal research. Its
a case study in how crucial animal research is
to improving pubThats why animal lic health.

They
hope to discover
how much of the coronavirus enters the body,
where it infects the lungs, and how immune
systems respond to it.
Scientists at New York-based biotechnology
company Regeneron are working with mice to
see how they respond after being infected with
the coronavirus. Researchers have modified
the mices genetic code to mimic a humans
immune system. They hope to use antibodies
the mice generate following infection to develop an effective treatment.
Meanwhile, the National Institutes of
Health is investigating whether an existing

antiviral drug, remdesivir might work
against COVID-19. Originally developed
using rhesus macaques, remdesivir is effective against Nipah virus, Ebola, and MERS,
another coronavirus strain that has killed
over 800 people since first emerging in 2012.
The initial results have been promising.
A 35-year-old American coronavirus patient
recently used Washingtons compassionate
use laws, which allow critically ill patients
to access unlicensed drugs, to gain access to
remdesivir. He quickly recovered, but its too
early to definitively attribute his recovery to
the drug.
Researchers working on vaccines or treatments for threats like COVID-19 depend on
animal models because they provide the closest approximation of how a potential therapy
will operate in the human body.
The interaction between a promising vaccine or treatment and a living organism is too
complex to replicate in a petri dish or computer simulation. For this work, theres simply no
substitute for a live animal model.
Thats why animal research is the basis for
so many medical advances, including vaccines
for measles and polio as well as life-saving diabetes drugs.
Consider the progress against HIV/AIDS.
A few decades ago, the virus killed more
people between the ages of 25 and 44 than any
other disease in a number of communities
nationwide. An HIV diagnosis was effectively
a death sentence.
No more. Powerful drug cocktails have rendered HIV/AIDS a manageable disease. Those
medicines were developed using macaque
monkeys and humanized mice genetically
modified to have compromised immune systems that more closely approximate human
patients with HIV. Animal research yielded
AZT, the breakthrough HIV/AIDS drug cocktail approved by the FDA in 1987.
Despite the medical progress animal
research has enabled, some activists are trying to restrict its use by arguing that its
inhumane. But animal research is tightly
regulated by the federal government. Just like
in hospitals, researchers are required to use
appropriate anesthetic and analgesic drugs to
ensure animals dont experience pain. Those
responsible for overseeing research must certify that use of animals is necessary. Even
then, scientists are required to use as few as
possible.
Yet according to a Pew survey, slightly less
than half of Americans — 46 percent — favor
animal research. Once animal research yields
a treatment for the coronavirus, perhaps the
remainder will change their minds.
Matthew R. Bailey is president of the
Foundation for Biomedical Research. This
piece originally ran in the Detroit News.
No dictatorship in handling virus crisis
What happens when the supposed dictator
wont dictate? This is the conundrum confronted by the harshest critics of President
Donald Trump who have gone from warning
he is a budding despot to complaining he
hasnt done enough to impose his will during
the coronavirus crisis.
They cant believe that he didnt urge sports
leagues to cancel their seasons, call for school
systems to close, or tell bars and restaurants
to shutter before this wave of closures began.
As a New York Times report put it, Trump
has essentially become a bystander as school
superintendents, sports commissioners, college presidents, governors and business owners across the country take it upon themselves
to shut down much of American life.
Ordinarily, tyrants arent bystanders. They
dont give other political players and civic
institutions wide latitude to make their own
decisions. They dont have to be pushed to
declare a national emergency unlocking various powers. They dont have to be lobbied to
call out the military to deal with a domestic
problem.
Trump has now declared an emergency and
issued national guidelines against gatherings
of more than 10 people, but his initial instinct
was to urge people to stay calm and carry on.
The problem with Trumps mode of governance isnt that hes a would-be authoritarian. Rather, he has a highly personalized
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
view of the presidency and an abiding belief
that he can talk his way out of any difficulty
— including, initially, a public-health crisis
not susceptible to spin. This deeply flawed
approach contributed to his early stumbles in
the coronavirus response, but it doesnt make
him a falangist.
What were likely to find is that Trump
ends up leading a characteristically American
effort against the outbreak. As Yuval Levin of
the American Enterprise Institute points out,
we usually fumble around in the early stages
of a national crisis before bringing to bear
massive resources to wrestle it to the ground.
For better or worse, the Great Depression
prompted the creation of the most far-reaching
economic programs in our history after a period of passivity and drift. We responded to the
perceived crisis of the Soviet Sputnik launch
with the Apollo program that soaked up 4%
of GDP. Hurricane Katrina overwhelmed New
Orleans and initially FEMA, before we put an
army general in charge of the relief.
The initial indications of a financial crisis
in 2008 were greeted with denial and half-measures. Then, the federal government responded with a historic bailout of the banks and the
Federal Reserve undertook an unprecedented
program to pump liquidity into the economy.
The outlines of a similar response to the coronavirus are already evident. The move from
relative normality to large parts of the country being shut down was remarkably swift — it
happened in the space of about a week. Testing
has been slow to come online, but is ramping
up now. If hospitals are overwhelmed, we will
see the rapid retrofitting of additional space.
The Federal Reserve and the federal government are embarking on major stimulus and
relief programs.
Such is our robust, multi-layered society
and system of government that much of this
doesnt depend on the president, let alone a
dictator.

Im sure the leaks can be fixed for less than the
cost of a new station. As a taxpayer in Anderson
County I am continually horrified at the waste
I see. Come on commissioners, learn to distinguish what is necessary and what isnt.

Federal Use Tax Stamps from the 40s
What?!? More paper collectibles. Yes, these three items
belonged to my father.
They are Federal Use Tax
Stamps on his motor vehicle
(car) for the years 1943-19441946. All three stamps read
the same: Stamp Transferable
With Vehicle – Federal Use
Tax On Motor Vehicle $5.00
– This Stamp Expires June 30— Keep This Stamp Posted On
Vehicle. United States Internal
Revenue.
Note: Two of the stamps
have Registeration numbers
in black along one side.
U.S. Revenue stamps for
the motor vehicle use tax
were used from February 1942
through June 1946. During
WWII, there were serious wartime shortages, including gasoline, The U.S. Government
imposed the motor vehicle tax
to encourage people to use public transportation and to help
pay for the war effort.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, March 24, 2020
Cody Gettler has joined
Scott Schulte in the local office
of Baker Group Mergers and

and Sho-More Financial.
Gettler is a 2018 graduate of
the University of Kansas and
a 2014 graduate of Anderson
County High School.
Baker Group Mergers and
Acquisitions, Inc. is based in
Overland Park and was started
by Garnett High School graduate Jerry Baker. The Baker
Group consults and connects
buyers and sellers of large
companies throughout the U.S.
that are looking at selling or
expanding. Jerry has hired
many Garnettians over the
years to join his hard-working
team.
Sho-More Financial Group

specializes in secure retirement planning. Also, due to the
high interest in Medicare locally, the company has expand-
ed services into the Medicare
market. The local office is at
505 S. Oak in Garnett, and can
be reached at (785)-448-6191.
GARNETT Area school districts are battening down in
preparation to offer remote
education programs for students and to continue their
federally-subsidized
meal
programs during the Covid19
Sequester period.
District superintendents in
USD 365, USD 288 and USD 479
all said yesterday they were
using this week as a planning
week with faculty and staff to
lay out their operational plan
while classroom gatherings
are shut down due to Governor
Laura Kellys mandate. Central
Heights Superintendent Brian
Spencer said his staff was set
to meet today.
I really dont know exactly
City meeting goes online to follow KOMA
GARNETT City staff plans
to use the online meeting software Zoom to conduct tonights
city commission meeting, and
the public will be able to monitor and participate in the meeting online from whatever their
physical location might be.
Its important to maintain that transparency, said
Garnett City Manager Chris
Weiner. Its the citys intent
to continue to follow the open
meetings law according to
the directives the AG (Kansas
Attorney General Derek
Schmidt) announced over the
weekend.
A press release from
Schmidts office noted public
elected bodies were still subject
to the Kansas Open Meetings
act regardless of social distancing directives now underway
due to the Covid19 sequester.
Schmidts memo said if the
members of the public body
themselves are not physically gathered in one place for
example, if the meeting itself
is conducted by telephone
or videoconferencing then
members of the public must
be able to join in the electronic
conferencing in order to listen to or observe the meeting.
If the members of the public
body are physically gathered
for a meeting but cannot allow
members of the public to be
present because of emergency
limitations, then the public
body must take steps to allow
members of the public to listen
to or observe the meeting by
telephone, videoconferencing,
television broadcast, or similar
method.
Weiner said city commissioners and staff would meet
at the city meeting chambers
Tuesday night according to the
standard meeting schedule,
but the closing of city hall as
of Monday meant the meeting
chambers would not be open to
the public.
Members of the public who
want to attend the meeting via
Zoom can go to www.zoom.com
to register on their computer,
or download the app to their
smartphone or tablet device.
The software is free, and the
meeting will be designated by a
meeting number which will be
posted on both the city and the
Reviews Facebook pages and
other online platforms.
Weiner said the appearance
of the meeting would include a
photo window for all attendees
as well as city commissioners
and staff, and that attendees
would be able to communicate
with commissioners during the
public comment segment via
the software.
Weiner said city halls
closure meant employees
would be at work but that the
main lobby would be closed.
Residents were still able to pay
fees and utilities online, he
said, and that the city would
suspend any additional online
payment charges during the
emergency. The citys drive
up window in the north alley
would still be manned, he said,
and drop boxes at the front and
back of the building would still
be checked.
Open meetings BBB Alert: Watch out for stimulus check fraud
statement
from Garnett
City Manager
Chris Weiner:
In an effort to slow the spread
of COVID-19, the Centers for
Disease Control (CDC) has
issued a recommendation not
to gather in groups of more
than ten people. In response
to the close geographical proximity of confirmed COVID-19
cases (still none in Anderson
County), in conjunction with
the CDCs recommendation,
the City of Garnett has suspended public access to City
facilities.
While the City has taken
this step to limit exposure of
our staff and the community
to this virus, we still continue to provide all essential City
services as normal. We have
been in consistent communication with Anderson County
Emergency Management and
continue to monitor new developments. It is our main priority to keep our Garnett community members healthy and safe.
In compliance with the CDCs
recommendation, the City
Commission meeting scheduled for Tuesday, March 24th,
2020 will be held via the Zoom
videoconferencing platform.
This is a website (or app on a
smartphone) from which you

could soon start issuing relief
checks to American families
and businesses. Right now – the
proposal includes
sending two large
checks to many
Americans and
devoting $300 billion toward helping small businesses avoid mass
layoffs.
As we wait for word on
how this will all work BBB
has a warning. Scammers are
already using the relief money
to find new ways to trick you
into giving it to them.
If you receive a text, e-mail
or even a phone call from some-
3×10
one claiming to be from the
government with a check for
you. BEWARE.
People are already reporting
this. These fake messages will
claim to be able
to deposit $1,000
or more directly
into your bank
account and will
likely ask for
your
banking
information. Do
not, under any circumstance,
give away your personal information via text, e-mail, or
phone.
This is all a scam. None of
its true. Whats going to happen is, as soon as you open
that text or email or give them
information, youre in a world
of hurt for months and years
to come, because its a rip-off
and a scam," said Jim Hegarty,
president and CEO of the Better
Business Bureau (BBB) serving
Nebraska, South Dakota, The
Kansas Plains and Southwest

If you see this scam make
sure you report it to your State

what we will do yet, Spencer
said. It is highly likely there
are many families that will
not want their children to be
served face to face at all no
matter the size of the group.
I have teachers that live in
Johnson County and are basically confined to their homes.
USD 365 Superintendent
Don Blome said his district was
working on a continuous learning plan for
the remainder of the
school year,
and
that
instruction
would be
in various
delivery
methods.
Secondary level students
will probably be some type
of online communications,
Blome said. Elementary will
probably be more send home
packets.
Shane Walter at Crest said
his teachers and staff were
meeting in small groups to
build their plan. He said they
would collaborate with parents
to find solutions and troubleshoot technology options that
suit individual families.
As of Monday (yesterday),
we are looking at incorporating online learning components and learning packets.
Well work with each family
and do our best to maintain the
communication and interaction with
students,
only in a
different
format.
Walter
said the
district
would start reaching out to
families later this week.
Each of the three districts
were set to implement GrabN-Go meals according to their
federally-subsidized school
lunch and breakfast programs
this week as well, serving from
school locations and in some
cases delivering meals to the
various communities they
serve. For more information on
those meal distributions, contact Garnett USD 365 at (785)

The Skinning Tree A novel by G. Dane Hicks
*Ever wondered why those
athletic lace-ups on your feet are
called sneakers? The moniker
came about in the late 1800s, from
their rubber soles that allowed
people to walk or "sneak" around
without a sound.
*Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little
House" books were once used as
post-World War II propaganda.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's occupation headquarters chose "The
Long Winter" as one of the first
American books to be translated into Japanese, in an effort
to boost the morale of defeated,
starving citizens. German translations soon followed, with a similar goal.
*During the mid-1970s, author
Anne Fine walked by a shop selling jewelry and old furs, the proprietor of which was a Madame
Doubtfire. Fine recalled the
name in 1986 when she wrote
her novel "Madame Doubtfire."
Her one request to makers of the
film starring Robin Williams and
Sally Field was that they "not
make the children bratty, and
they did indulge me in that."
*Believing he had been cursed
for killing two canines, a man in
India married a third as an act of
atonement.
*Michelangelo, renowned
painter of the Sistine Chapel and
brilliant sculptor to boot, was
surprisingly averse to personal
hygiene. He also rarely changed
his clothes. One of his servants
remarked that the artist would
spend so much time in his shoes
that when he finally did take
them off, "the skin came away,
like a snake's, with the boots."
*You might experience "optophobia" while watching a terrifying scene in a horror flick — it's
the fear of opening one's eyes!
*Zebras are responsible for
more injuries to U.S. zookeepers
than any other animal.
*Your left lung is smaller than
your right to make room for your
heart.

Due to "social distancing"
directives in view of the present
Covid19 emergency and the fact
that many Review readers are
sequestering to varying degrees
in their homes and looking for
reading materials among ways

Skinning Tree" over the course
of the next several weeks.
Preface
June 18, 1856
Drops from the cool drizzle
hung from his low-brimmed hat
as Phineas Blagg pulled hard
on the whiskey flask, the bite
of the bourbon slipping easier down his throat now than
when hed tasted his last drop
an hour ago. The general store
and post office was dark, and
from its shadowy corner facing
the street he could hear his
horse pawing the mud behind
the building where he was
tied, aggravated to be standing in the rain and the dark
and tired from the days ride.
Blagg hadnt planned on the
rain either, but he had the flask
to warm him, and the cylinder
of the Colt Dragoon under his
coat was dry and able.
Across the muddy street he
could see inside one of the two
windows of the Sentinel, and
the oil lamps upstairs where
the Knaules lived had been
turned down moments ago.
Blagg watched before that, as
the wife and two little boys
appeared through the upstairs
window getting a kiss from
their father before they lay
down for the night. Knaule was
thin faced, with dark eyebrows
and a trimmed beard and moustache and a certain look of arrogance, just as he was described.
If Blagg hadnt known the poison Emerson Knaule spread
through the damn pages of his
bulletin, it might have seemed
a shame. But fifty dollars, paid
him by men in Missouri whod
thrown in the whiskey for
good measure, was fifty dollars. Blagg hadnt ridden the
last half of the days trip in the
rain to back out from a wisp of
conscience over a wife and two
boys.
Theyd remember it, Blagg
figured. The message would
be clear to the self righteous
abolitionists and the likes of
the bastard Brown, whod led
his men and his own sons to
chop up the bodies of those
five men on the Pottawatomie
only weeks ago. Knaule had the
loudest beak in the countryside
with his damnable publication,
and hed hardly scolded the
madman for the cold-blooded
murders while decrying with
ferocity the ills of the freedom
fight against lies, liars and saboteurs at Lawrence. The lesson
would be plain. Mud sloshed
from under his feet as Blagg
made his way across the dark,
soggy street toward the glowing
window.
destined by moral righteousness and by the due course
of legislation of this land,
Emerson Knaule read his piece
from the tiny metal type backward, looking for error, his
eyes itching with fatigue at the
late hour and the dim lantern
light.
Those of us who first broke
this ground, those who built
their homes and birthed their
first sons and cast their first
seeds and gathered their crops
here did so not for the sway
of heathen politics, but for the
right of men to earn their lives
as they would anywhere in the
east if space and providence
allowed. But now come those
who work not, who sow and
who reap not, except for the
spoils of influence which sent
them here as robber barons to
the voting polls, intent on casting the majority public voice
for ownership of the negro. It
is undeniable that no federal authority under which we
submit intended the KansasNebraska Act to be so manipulated by those whose pockets will brim with the profits
brought by slave labor. It is
they who have sent the least
of themselves here to take root
long enough to await the vote.
While no law can or ought to
displace a man from seeking
his lot in this country, these
puppets of illegitimacy reside
among us for the sole purpose
of casting their wretched vote
when that time comes, and in
the meantime to rid the countryside of those righteous
frontiersmen who came here
for just pursuits and who will
not align themselves with nor
remain silent about the sin of
the pharaohs. Bid them take
their whiskey and their whores
and their disdain for the teachings of God Almighty back to
Missouri, where such depravities are held in high esteem.
We who came for just reason
will not be bullied to vacate. We
stand in Kansas.
He was tired, but the passion of his words warmed him
even on the fifth reading. They
must be made to understand,
and they must be given courage
to face the pro-slave ruffians
whose design was to scare them
us away, and secure the
majority vote on the slave question. Knaule prayed that his
words would find their mark
in the hearts of just men now
strained, worn and ragged from
the assaults of pro-slave contempt.
Knaule adjusted the strap
on his suspenders as he ran
his ink-stained hand across the
lines and columns of tiny steel
letters, searching for edges and
protrusions that would keep
the paper from connecting
uniformly with the type when
the crank on his pride-and-joy
Washington Hand Press was
turned. With the type finally
cast tonight theyd begin the
printing tomorrow, a family
affair, with the boys folding,
Isabelle handwriting addresses, and the boys setting about
town with the papers arranged
in their leather bags. Just a
little more, he told himself,
and he could go lay himself
down. His sense of touch found
a set of lines riding higher than
the others, and with his
mallet he gently tapped
them into compliance.
The sound of a boot on
the wooden step outside
pulled his weary attention.
Evening. My apologies for the hour, the
heavy set man said as he
stepped inside the small,
cluttered office and eyed
the black iron of the
press. Hed never seen
one before. Bigger than
hed imagined. The floor
behind him was speckled
with moisture from his
boots, the door left hanging open behind him.
The slow falling rain
pushed in to fall on the
rough wood floor inside
the open doorway. The
man took only one step inside.
They were details not neglected
by the editor.
How may I help you, sir?
Knaule offered, stepping forward.
Would you be Emerson
Knaule, the editor?, his voice
broke a bit from his jumping
nerves.
I would sir. May I be of
some service?, Knaule said,
his suspicion hidden under his
articulation.
The Dragoon appeared from
a spray of mist and a clumsy
rustle of Blaggs wet coat, and
a scowl fell over Blaggs face.
Knaule startled, stepping back
and raising his arms out of surprise more than surrender.
James Doyle sends his
regards!, shouted Blagg.
Youll see John Brown in
Hell! The barrel roared, leaping upwards as it did so and
filling the tiny room with the
thick belch of powder smoke.
The .44 caliber ball ripped
into and out of the underside
of Knaules meaty left forearm,
pulling him from his feet to
land square on his back with
his damaged appendage still
elevated in the air. The pain
was excruciating but half
covered by shock, as Knaule
looked to the arm and to his
rolled sleeve now soaking with
blood. He stared in pain and
disbelief.
Blagg was shaken by the
incredible noise the gun made
when fired indoors, and for
a second couldnt hear the
wounded mans cries of pain
because of the ringing in his
own ears. He stepped forward,
peering through the smoke,
and saw the editor lying on the
floor. He stared a full second,
amazed to see the man downed
and amazed that he was not
yet dead. The latter half of that
very second would cost him his
life.
A rumble above his head
told Knaule his children and
wife had bolted out of bed at the
commotion below them. A masterful fear engulfed him, and
in a glance he saw the mallet
which hed dropped when the
gun was fired. He locked his
right hand on the handle of the
wooden object, and with all his
might hurled it at his attacker.
Blagg had aimed the pistol
but then saw a bright flash
behind his eyelids as the mallet
cracked full force into his teeth
and nose. He staggered backward, still holding the Dragoon
but raising his arms toward his
broken face. He wheezed and
sniffled, and blood poured from
his nose.
Knaule watched the shocked
man stagger backward in a
daze, and leaped to his feet as
his face reddened with rage.
He stooped again for the mallet
and this time flung it overhand.
The missile connected with
Blaggs ribcage under his arm
as he held his hands still to his
face. The impact was deadened
by the coat, but not so much
as to keep from knocking the
wind out of him. He groaned
and became aware that he was
now the defender and not the
attacker. His eyes filled with
tears and his nose and mouth
with blood, he reeled and fired
again, the ball this time smashing through the wall behind
the press, barely in Knaules
direction. The editors left arm
dangled like a broken twig, but
he charged the assassin and
smashed headlong into him,
wrapping his right arm around
the mans head and burying his
own deep into Blaggs cheek.
His growling attack landed part
of the mans face near his ear
in Knaules grimacing mouth,
and the editor bit down with
all his might, trying to tear the
flesh away. Blagg screamed and
swept the air with his forearms
to defend himself.
The two vaulted from the
single step outside and tumbled
into the muddy street. Knaule
grabbed for the weapon, which
knocked it and Blaggs hand
into the muck, but a firm punch
from Blaggs left struck Knaule
across the face and knocked
him from position. The editor
staggered to his feet, his arm
now throbbing and leaking
more blood, and spied the mallet just inside the door. As he
snatched it the air was pierced
immediately by the scream of
his wife, who stood at the base
of the back stairs with her arms
wrapped around the two boys.
Knaule turned and saw the
barrel of the gun pointed at
him. Blagg had regained his
feet and stood in the street, not
a dozen feet away. He pulled the
trigger.
There was a hiss and spark
from the hammer, but nothing
more. The mud and water had
penetrated the cylinder, fouling at least some of the other
three shots. Knaule flinched at
the sound of the hammer, realized the misfire, and flung the
mallet, this time striking Blagg
in the chest with a heavy and
resounding thud.
The man groaned and gasped
for air as he stumbled backward and began to take step
after step away from the scene.
Knaule spit some of Blaggs
blood from his mouth, and felt
a primal and undeniable desire
to pursue the fleeing man. He
picked up the muddy wooden
piece and followed.
Another well-placed shot
with the missile struck Blagg
between the shoulder blades
and knocked him to the ground.
This time the Dragoon flailed
uselessly into the night. The
would-be assassin crawled as
quickly as he could, struggling
to regain his footing as he
glanced back at his crazed pursuer. He stumbled through the
street, unsure where he was,
disoriented in the drizzle and
the darkness. Ahead lanterns
turned up in two buildings as
people awoke to the commotion, and men carrying long
guns were beginning to appear
at the front of their shops and
around the corner from several of the frame houses at the
end of the block. Before long
the chatter of the townspeople
followed Knaule as he trailed
Blagg, the air singing every
now and then with the sound
of the airborne mallet, which
never failed to find its mark.
Blaggs face took on the look
of a frightened, exhausted,
half-dead animal as he tried to
flee, his steps becoming slower
with each impact of the wooden
weapon.
Henrysville was only two
blocks deep to the north, and
Blagg passed the last house
and made his haphazard way
toward a large barn and corral with an adjacent ice house.
With the predominant south
wind and the towns layout
it was the best location for a
butcher shop, its stench and
gore out of sight and mostly out
of sensory range of the townsfolk. Its ugliness required that
this was so, but at the same
time it had to be close by a
place where death and blood
and entrails and carcass were
turned into nourishment and
strength. A town needed its
butcher shop, it just didnt
want to look at it.
Blagg stumbled past the barn
and around to the back lot, the
mob behind him growing now
larger. Knaule, now tired of
throwing and retrieving the
mallet, simply trailed the fleeing man a few feet behind and
kicked him now and then as he
stumbled to the crowds great
approval.
Blagg collapsed at the base
of a large oak tree the skinning tree at the back of the
property its low, long bough
head high and extending ten
or twelve feet before it arched
upwards into a feathering of
leaves. The bark on the lower
limb was worn to a shine from
ropes used to hoist the rear
feet of animals high enough
so the blade could find easy
work. The ground around the
tree was bare of grass, stained
dark and smelling of old death.
Knaule went to his knees and
rolled the mud-soaked, sobbing man to his back, forcing
the mallet squarely under his
throat where it pushed his jaw
too high and too hard to allow
speech. Knaules left arm hung
limp at his side
If I believed there was a
chance, Knaule heaved out the
words, his own head light from
loss of blood, a slimmest sliver
of chance that your heart could
be cleansed of blackness by
even the Lord God Almighty,
and that you might see the
darkness of your deeds and of
your following, Id cut off your
ear and send you home to your
killers and cousins. The crowd
fell silent around them. The
man blubbered and gagged.
But you and yours live as a
beacon of hatred and greed and
oppression, and by the grace of
God and the force of freedom,
your light will fail.
He pulled the mallet from
Blaggs throat and lifted it high
into the air, and looked for a
moment into the mans terrified eyes.
Over the years some would
say Emerson Knaule struck
ten blows on Phineas Blaggs
head that night. Some would
say it was fifty. Some would
say he had to be pulled from
the corpse when it no longer
flinched from the thick impact
of wood on pulp.
Such rude details, lost to
time and the passing of the witnesses, are of little real concern.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, March 24, 2020
BBB Alert: Coronavirus Scams Increase
March 19, 2020 COVID19, the disease caused by the
novel coronavirus, is affecting
people, businesses and communities around the world. Better
Business Bureau (BBB) is
reminding everyone to remain
vigilant to avoid scams related to the virus, use necessary,
common-sense precautions if
you absolutely need to travel, and find reliable sources
to stay informed about what
to do as the virus continues to
spread.
Unfortunately,
Better
Business Bureaus (BBBs)
across the U.S. are receiving
reports from consumers who
are finding instances where
the cost of high-demand items
such as hand sanitizers, tissues, toilet paper, face masks
and other products are skyrocketing. These complaints
are about price-gouging – a dust
mask was selling for $10, a case
of water was priced at $35 and
hand sanitizer was $60!
Price-gouging is a term
referring to sellers who spike
up the prices of goods, services
or commodities to a level much
higher than is considered reasonable or fair and is considered exploitative, potentially
to an unethical extent. BBB is
warning businesses to avoid
the temptation to raise prices
during this pandemic or any
other disaster because it erodes
marketplace trust. Both consumers and businesses need to
treat each other ethically and
compassionately–especially
now. Consumers and businesses need to consider that when
the dust settles after this crisis
we all will remember how we
were treated. The way consumers and businesses treat
each other today will certainly impact how they move forward after the crisis, stated
BBB President and CEO Jim
Hegarty.
Besides receiving reports
about price-gouging, BBB has
also been hearing about fake
cures, phony prevention measures, deceiving ads, government grant scams and other
cons exploiting the publics
fear of the coronavirus," said
Hegarty. There are no cures
for COVID-19 at this time, and
a preventative vaccine is at
least a year or more away from
being developed.
Another scam that has
resurfaced is the government
grant scam with a coronavirus twist. Scammers are hacking into peoples Facebook
accounts and are messaging
their friends claiming they
are eligible for a coronavirus
government grant. Victims are
told that the grant is being provided to seniors to pay their
bills and buy medicine and
supplies during this pandemic. All the victims are asked
to do is supply their personal
information and payment for
processing fees. Dont fall for
it, is BBBs advice.
"Suspected price-gouging,
scams and phony ads should
always be reported. BBB is
particularly concerned about
the exploitation of consumers
during a declared emergency," stated Hegarty. Victims
of price gouging and deceptive
ads should report them at BBB.
org/AdTruth. Other scams
should be reported to BBB.org/
Scamtracker or to your states
Attorney Generals office.
BBB has adapted its
Standards for Marketplace
Trust (BBB.org/Standards-forTrust) for the coronavirus pandemic:
Build TrustRefrain from
taking unfair advantage of
a public emergency such as
the coronavirus situation. As
much as possible, keep prices
at a reasonable level. Consider
your daily operations as business-as-usual but with the
adjustments required to help
prevent the virus from spreading.
Advertise HonestlyDo not
fuel fears. More than anything,
you need to act as a calming
and reassuring partner to your
customers. Continue with standard ethical advertising practices but add a reference that
youre following public health
protocols to stem the transmission of the virus.
Tell the TruthThe virus
may impact deliverables. Be
honest with your customers
regarding timelines and product availability. Set realistic
expectations if your delivery
or service is impacted by illness or precautions. Set clear
expectations with your customers. They will respect that
you are thinking about them
and taking this seriously.
Be
Transparent/Honor
PromisesIf you are unable to
fulfill commitments, communicate immediately with your
customers, rather than disappointing them and having to
rationalize the reasons after
the fact. Work with your customers to find solutions.
Be Responsive/Embody
IntegrityDemonstrate purpose and support for your community. Businesses can play
a vital role in maintaining
strong communities, even in
challenging times.
To help you stay informed, BBB
has created a designated page
at BBB.org/coronavirus that
offers resources and important updates for both businesses and consumers impacted by
the virus. It will help you learn
fact from fiction.

County sheriff:
For most interactions with
the Anderson County Sheriffs
Department, itll be business
as usual through the end of the
season of Covid19.
County
sheriff
Vern
Valentine said over the weekend his departments response
protocol for in-progress crimes,
violent offenses, and general
risks to the public will be handled as usual.
However, our dispatchers
will be asking for additional
information from the reporting party in order to assess
the risk of COVID-19 exposure
for responding personnel,
Valentine said. It is important
that the general public understands that these questions are
to enable emergency personnel
to serve the needs of the public, while ensuring appropriate
safety precautions are in place
to limit and mitigate possible
COVID-19 exposure.
Valentine said the department lobby will remain open
to the public but will be limited
to a small number of people at
a time. Business will be con-
ducted through the main lobby
and dispatch lobby windows.
Citizens are welcome to communicate via the intercom system located near the front door
in the foyer.
We are temporarily suspending fingerprinting services (ink and live-scan), concealed carry applications, and
inmate visitation, Valentine
said. Inmate visitation will
be re-evaluated April 17th. We
would like to thank the public
in advance for your cooperation and understanding during
this challenging time.
He said the department will
send out additional information and updates to these protocols as they become available.
PRATT
The
Kansas
Department
of
Wildlife,
Parks and Tourism (KDWPT)
has developed a plan to keep
Kansas 28 state parks, 63 state
fishing lakes, and more than
100 wildlife areas open to the
public during the COVID-19
crisis. In addition, KDWPTs
online and mobile sales options
allow Kansans to purchase the
licenses, permits and reservations they need without risk of
exposure to the COVID-19 coronavirus.
Were committed to ensuring Kansas outdoors remain
accessible to all, and that
Kansans have safe and healthy
recreation
opportunities
during this unprecedented crisis, KDWPT Secretary Brad
Loveless said. Theres no better place to be right now than
out in nature, where social distancing is a breeze. We encourage families across the state to
get outside, get fresh air, go fishing or for a hike, and enjoy our
natural spaces.
Beginning March 23, 2020,
KDWPT will temporarily close
regional and district offices for
two weeks; however, state park
staff will work in limited capacities to ensure Kansas state
parks remain open to the public,
and that park facilities are regularly cleaned and disinfected.
Though often adjoined, KDWPT
state parks are separate from
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) facilities, which will
be closed. Visitors can locate an
open KDWPT state park nearest them by visiting ksoutdoors.
com/State-Parks/Locations.
Thanks to the advent of
KDWPTs mobile apps CampIt
KS and HuntFish KS visitors
can reserve campsites, purchase
fishing licenses, renew boat
registrations and check rules
and regulations all from their
mobile devices, removing the
need for in-person transactions
at KDWPT offices. Licenses can
be printed on home desktop
printers or most can be stored
as PDFs within the apps on
mobile devices.
Kansas state parks offer
10,000 campsites and hundreds
of miles of trails open to hiking, biking and horseback riding. Parks offer convenient
access for boating and fishing,
and some parks have shooting
ranges. Small, family-friendly
state fishing lakes are scattered
across the state and provide
more than 5,000 total surface
acres of fishing opportunities
close to home.
All public land regulations
and license requirements
remain in effect. Check with
local governments for access
restrictions to community lakes
and USACE-operated parks.

parks, and other outdoor recreation opportunities in Kansas,

and Environment website at

Do things you enjoy
A silver lining of being
homebound? More time to
indulge in our hobbies.
If youve been talking
about some recipe youe been
wanting to try for weeks
because you really enjoy cooking and never had the chance,
maybe now is a good time, he
says. At least find something
you enjoy doing and do it.
Even if its outside that
routine, at least youre doing
something you enjoy, something youve been wanting to
do, and now you finally have
the time.
Social distancing doesnt
have to mean social isolation
Whether its through social
media, a text, a phone call,
email, or Skype, its vital to
stay connected with friends
and family.
Hold on to the distancing
part because its there for a
reason, but the isolation part
we need to offset by staying
connected to people who are
within our support system,
Littwiler says.
Even if you arent feeling
lonely, someone else might be
and theyll appreciate the
check-in.
Seek help if you need it
Littwiler says an estimated quarter of Americans will
need mental health care in a
given year but most wont,
or wont know how to, seek it
out.
Either theyre simply
not aware of mental health
resources that are available
to them, he says, or else
the stigma is just such that
theyre too afraid to raise
their hand and acknowledge
they need help.
He urges anyone experiencing anxiety or depression to
reach out to either the Mental
Health Association of SouthCentral Kansas or another
community organization:
The
Mental
Health
Association of South-Central
Kansas counseling center: 316652-2590.
