County drought status
upgraded as more
precipitation falls
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The first few days
of spring brought with them a
little more winter. More snow.
More snow days for local school
children. More overtime for road
crews and emergency responders. And more headaches for
area commuters.
About 6.8 inches of snow
fell Saturday and Sunday, the
third snowstorm to hit the area
since late February. The snow
amounts to 0.68 inches of precipitation, bringing the total

This architectural drawing shows the conceptual design of the front of a proposed new Anderson County Hospital. The onestory building essentially would be built at the back or behind the current hospital. Voters will decide Tuesday, April 2, whether
to approve more than $25 million in bonds for the new facility.
New hospital will be big issue
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
The biggest decision for
Anderson County voters
on the April 2 ballot will
be whether to fund a new
Anderson County Hospital.
At stake is a decision to
build a new hospital facility
and long term care unit for
more than $25 million.
Supporters say the new
facility is needed to replace
an outdated 1949 building
that no longer meets hospital building codes and
needs significant structural updates in all areas
plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, and roofing.
Studies have shown it would
cost millions of dollars to
make improvements to the
current facility, and some
upgrades may not be possible.
Sweetening the deal for
voters is an agreement with
St. Lukes Heath System that
would pay part of the costs
of a new building. While the
county owns the hospital
building, St. Lukes manages hospital operations and
provides staff and health
care services. St. Lukes has
agreed to increase its lease
payments from $440,000 to
more than $1 million per
year. The lease agreement is
for 10 years but likely would
be extended after that.
Advocates for the new facil-

ity say St. Lukes will pay
more than two-thirds of the
costs of the new building.
The cost to taxpayers is estimated at about $31 a year for
the owner of a $50,000 home
or $12 a year in property
taxes for the owner of 80
acres of cropland, according
to their figures.
But the new hospital proposal has some opposition.

precipitation so far for March
to 1.44. Thats still only about
half of Marchs normal precipitation, which is 3.01 inches.
The recent snow and rain has
been good news for improving
the two-year old drought. Most
of the state has been upgraded
by the U.S. Drought Monitor,
although Anderson County
remains in severe drought
status, upgraded from exceptional drought. The Drought
Monitor reports drought conditions may improve in April
through June, especially in the
eastern part of the state where
normal rainfall is heavier and
would have more immediate impact on conditions. The

Plea deal expected
in steroid case
New court date set
for April, plea deal
expected to be made
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT
– A former
Garnett business owner
accused of
providing
steroids from
his martial
arts studio is
Moody
expected to
make a plea
in the case next month.
Lee Brock Moody, 40, is due
in court at 1:30 p.m. April 8 in
what appears to be some type of
plea arrangement with the state.
A similar court hearing last
week was postponed because
Moodys lawyer had another
commitment. Anderson County
Attorney Brandon Jones said
details of the plea deal are still
being worked out, but he expects
Moody will make a plea.
Moody is facing more than
40 felony drug charges related
to steroid manufacture and distribution, and a misdemeanor
child endangerment charge, the
latter alleging he administered
steroids to his son under the
guise that the substance was a
vitamin.

Westphalia, Kincaid to see contested city races
Garnett mayor runs
unopposed, as do
many candidates
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
Voters in at least two cities will see some of the most
contested races on the April
2 ballot.
Voters in area cities will
elect new commissioners or
council members next week.
In most cases, the races are
uncontested and in some
places, some seats will be
filled by write-in candidates.
In Garnett, for example,
Mayor Greg Gwin is running unopposed and likely
will keep the city commission seat he has held since
2007.
In other cities, however,
voters will pick between
several candidates.
Westphalia will see contests for its mayor and city
council seats. Two people,
Merlin Carpenter and
Samuel VanPatton, are
running for mayor. The
city councils five seats will
be sought by six people:
Dorothy Cameron, James
Nolan, Robert Ratzlaff,
Angela
HighbergerGardner, Carol Mechnig and
Kim VanPatton.
Kincaid voters will have
choices to make as well,
with seven people vying for
five seats. The top 5 people
will win the seats. The contestants include: Carolyn
Whitcomb,
Marjorie
Stephens, Judith Lenon,
Brandon Gates, Darlene
Stewart, William Starr
Sr. and Tammie Neudeck.
Voters also will select a

School board contests bring new faces, little drama
Unopposed races
in most school
district contests
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
New faces will join both
Anderson County school
districts after the April 2
election.
In USD 365, two longtime
board members decided not
to seek re-election, opening
their seats to newcomers. A
third position up for election
next week is likely to remain
with Deanna Wolken, who
is running unopposed. The
other races also are unopposed, and barring a suc-
cessful last-minute write-in
campaign, will be filled by
Michael Richards and Sonya
Martin. Richards is seeking Position 4, a seat held
by Pat Rockers, who did not
file for re-election. Martin is
running for Position 5, currently held by Mike Barnes,
who also did not file for reelection.
USD 479 will have a contested race for at least one
position. Frank Stewart is
being challenged by Travis
Church for Position 4 on the
Crest School Board. Two
incumbents, Jeff Strickler
and Bryan Miller, are running unopposed to keep their

MOODY…
WEATHER…
FROM PAGE 1A
county was more than 11 inches below normal at the end of
2012, and snow and rain since
then have pushed that number
to a deficit of about 9 inches.
Snow storms in February
dropped about 19 inches of
snow in total, and kept crews
busy with snow removal. The
City of Garnett expects to spend
about $10,000 on snow management a number that likely will
increase slightly after this past
weekends storm is added to
the total. City Manager Joyce
Martin said the city spent
about $3,000 in overtime and
about $3,500 to replace its salt
supplies, plus other expenses
directly related to the previous
storm. However, the city budgets for events like the snowstorms, so the costs wont take
away from other city needs.
The snows have helped ease
water worries for city leaders as
well. All city lakes the Cedar
Valley Reservoir, Lake Garnett
and Crystal Lake are back to
full levels. Although the city
will continue to monitor water
supplies, Martin said she feels
confident the city is in a good
position with water headed into
spring and summer.
School was canceled at area
districts yesterday and for the
previous snowfalls, and those
days will need to be made up
at some point. USD 365 board
members earlier this month
voted to add make-up days to
the end of the school year. With
no school on Monday, the district has taken five snow days
two will not be made up, and
two already were added to the
end of the school year. Its likely a third make-up day will be
added to the end of the school
year, making the last day of
school May 28. That means students would return to school
the Tuesday after Memorial
Day for the last day of school.
At Crest, board members
voted recently to make up two
of its four snow days within
the existing school calendar.
The calendar called for days
off on March 29 and April 22,
but students now will attend
school on those days. Two of
the snow days will not be made
up. The district will have to
decide whether to extend its
school year as well, to make up
for Mondays snow day.
The weather caused many
problems
for

A caller to the Phone Forum in recent

the obvious financial benefits of

PUBLISHER
It is right and
admirable that people who feel connected
to a community should want the best for
it and be willing to contribute for its well
being. In this case, with St. Lukes paying
the lions share of the hospital construction, the reality of that sacrifice by county
taxpayers will be greatly minimized. But
Anderson County residents have a tendency to do the right thing, to contribute
to efforts to keep the community vibrant,
and there are a lot of examples.
Last weekend the local Grand Finale
Auction was held to support the Grand
Finale Beef Show which is now in its 19th
year. Despite recent recessions as well as
good and bad farm and livestock years
in the past, local donors and contributors have always been generous in their
donation of auction items and in their
purchases. That is a community effort
that extends far past the local livestock
industry, but local businesses and individuals who support the Grand Finale view
it as a benefit to the entire community of
interconnected interests. In the long run,
whats good for farmers and cattlemen in
Anderson County is good for us all.
So too with the efforts which recently
rallied support to build a new elementary school in Garnett and fund upgrade
projects at other elementary schools in
USD 365. Local voters from many different backgrounds found they agreed on
something: That education is a benefit to
society both locally and globally, that good
facilities are one of the keys to educational success, and that our kids deserved
better than they had. We looked to the
future, even beyond the passage of our
own youngsters through its doors, and
voted for the future of local education.
Its hard to be selfish when it comes
to our kids just look at the tens of thousands of dollars we contribute locally and
access from state and national sources
each year to fund scholarships for students at Crest and Garnett. Those dollars
send kids to college to become doctors
and lawyers and business people and
transmission mechanics and carpenters
and welders. If our scholarship contributions dont speak to our desire for a better
future, what does?
If there is a common link that binds
our entire community, regardless of
income or background, race or status, it
is the desire that when were ill or someone in our family is injured or sick, that
premium health care exists close by to
treat us. St. Lukes has proven to be an
outstanding health care provider and a
loyal member and contributor in our community. This time, theyre willing to pay
2/3 of the cost to build us a new hospital if
well only give a nod of general approval
to the value of that partnership.
That is why our community should
galvanize behind a yes vote in next
Tuesdays election. We are a community
that believes in our own future and in our
ability to build it. Tuesdays vote count
should bear out a resounding confidence
that Anderson County is striding into the
new century, and a future where excellent
health care is something we will continue
to offer ourselves and our grandchildren.
School Board needs to get with it and
start adding more snow days so that
we dont have to make them up at
the end of the year. Its going to be a
struggle. Some of us have already got
plans. Some of us have got wedding
plans, cruises, vacations and now we
are going to have to make them up.
Well, I know the city roads were fine,
but the country roads werent good.
But, maybe we can go ten minutes
extra each day.
Commissioners ask for
yes vote on hospital
Dear Editor,
We are writing this letter on behalf of
the Anderson County Commissioners.
We believe it is very crucial at this time
for the citizens of our county to have
a clear understanding of the situation
with our hospital. We have been talking
with the hospital
boards on an ongoing basis as we work
together to ensure
the well-being of
the hospital and
provide local access
to health care for our citizens. The most
recent facility needs assessment study
conducted by an independent architectural and engineering firm identified
issues that require immediate attention
by the county to ensure that the hospital
will continue to remain operational into
the future.
The four studies that were completed
by different firms over the past few
years all recommended that a replacement facility be built. None of the firms
recommended investing in a renovation
of the hospital due to the age and failing
infrastructure of the current facility.
The most recent facility assessment
has identified significant issues to be
addressed at the hospital within the
next year with the goal of fixing the
most pressing problems first. The estimated cost of the first years expenditures is 3 million dollars. The question
then becomes, knowing that we have
many more issues that will have to
be addressed in the following years,
do we want to invest 3 million dollars
in the next year to keep our hospital
functional? The 3 million is only an
estimate based upon the identified problems as top priorities for the first year.
We understand that the eventual cost
to repair and renovate the hospital is
approximately 21 million dollars over a
seven-year period. We have reviewed all
the studies as of this date and believe
that a new hospital is by far the best
option for our county.
A new hospital will cost taxpayers
far less than repairing the current facil-
ity. We have had an operating agreement with Saint Lukes for the past
18 years. Saint Lukes has offered to
help our county obtain a new facility
by increasing the lease payment from
$450,000 to $1,024,000 annually for a new
hospital. They have also offered to pay
for the upkeep of
the new facility and the equipment needs in
the future. They
have offered to
invest 2-million
dollars initially to equip a new hospital. The overall cost to county taxpayers is approximately one-third of the
proposed 25-million dollars for a new
facility over the term of the bond. The
estimated 21-million dollars to renovate
and repair the current facility would be
the sole responsibility of the county and
its taxpayers.
Our hospital is a valuable county
asset providing important emergency,
acute, primary, specialty and long term
care for our residents. The hospital
employs 195 staff members and is the
largest employer in the county. The hospital has a tremendous impact for our
economy and future vitality.
We encourage everyone to become
well-informed about the current state of
the hospital. On April 2, the citizens of
Anderson County have the opportunity
to decide if they would like a new facility by approving (Voting YES) a 25-million dollar bond issue. If the bond issue
does not pass a decision will need to be
made on how to keep our hospital operational. Eventual closure is a possibility.
Our job, as your commissioners, is
to ensure the future viability of our
county and to present our citizens with
relevant issues. Please feel free to contact any of us regarding your concerns.
Now is the time to be proactive on this
issue.
County Commissioners:
Jim Johnson – District No. 1
Jerry Howarter – District No. 2
Gene Highberger – District No. 3
Purcell: Rec center offers
numerous benefits for all
Most people read an article and take
it as is. Some people read into an article
what they want it to say, then gripe
about it and try to convince others of its
authenticity. Its time to set the record
straight.
City of Garnett employs 55 full-time
employees and 12 part-time employees.
Each month approximately 15 employees take advantage of our facility
(Garnett Recreation Center and Goppert
Wellness Center). Some employees work
out 1 or 2 times and some 10 to 15. The
number 94 that keeps popping up refers
to the number of visits that month, not
the number of employees.
For over 30 years, companies have
recognized that employees who exercise
are healthier, work better, have less sick
days, and their insurance rates are less.
As a result, the companies pay the gym
memberships. Even some Medicare
supplement policies pay for memberships for the same reason. Its called
progress.
We have police officers, sheriff deputies, EMTs, and firemen working out
here regularly. Yesterday we had over
75 people using this facility, both young
and old. There were 24 young men and
women playing basketball at the same
time. One day earlier this week, over 100
people worked out. That doesnt count
the 20-plus kids that come to our after
school program or the 20 to 40 youngsters that practice basketball or soccer
each night.
Tell you what, I invite you to come
out. Ill pay for your workout and if need
be provide instruction. You could very
well find one of your friends here.
-Howard Purcell,
Garnett
The city manager was taught well by
her predecessor. She already knew
how to get around the system. I wonder if any house cleaning will start.
Probably not. Seems the standard of
city government is lying, cheating
and favoritism. Maybe there should
be more investigation. This probably
was not the first time and wont be the
last. Thank you.
If youre a city leader with a clear
conscience, why would you be afraid
to say a prayer. Think about it.
Hey, all the convenience stores, grocery stores, anyone who sells rolling
papers and incense, youre breaking
the law. Cause Ive seen in the paper
where the police arrested somebody
for having incense, rolling papers and
they charged him with it. So you
people that are selling it, are breaking
the law. Beware, youre next, the city
needs some money, so theyll make up
some charges. You better hide.
I feel that prayer should be said before
any city or county meetings. If prayer
had not been taken out of the schools,
I think our children would be developing better morals and kindness
towards others. The constitution was
based on prayer, and so therefore I
feel like that we need to continue to
pray not just for our leaders of our
nation, but for the leaders in our community. Thank you.
I cant believe that anybody would
be against saying a prayer before the
city commissioners meeting. Theres
nothing wrong with the Lords prayer
or the our father, you might say. Are
we getting to the point where were
having atheists in this here small
town? It sure does sound like it.
Future resident wants
new hospital, too
To the editor:
I am not (yet) a resident of Anderson
County but will be as soon as my Ozark
home sells. With an interest in the future
of Anderson County and Garnett I have
taken time to review the proposal for the
construction of a new hospital versus
remodeling the existing facility. Although
I will not be able to vote in favor of the
new hospital I would encourage a yes
vote on the proposal.
On March 10th I had the opportunity
to tour the existing hospital and extended
care facilities. I am more convinced now
than before the tour that a new hospital
is the right way to go. Anyone with the
slightest notion to oppose the new hospital should arrange for a tour of the existing facility.
Remember, when you spend a lot of
money to remodel a 1949 automobile you
end up with a nice looking 1949 model.
Lets send the 49 model to the crusher
and purchase a new hospital.

City Council
The March meeting has been
moved up to tonight (March 20)
at 7 p.m. at the City Hall community room due to the Kansas
Rural Water Association conference. Mayor Neal Wallace
and all five council members
attended the Feb. 27 meeting.
Minutes accepted as read by
LaNell Knoll, clerk. Kansas
Water Office (KWO) states we
are still under a watch. Past
due water bills and hearings
were presented. Shut-offs to be
handled per usual procedure.
Discussions were presented for
the citys easement requests to
be able to move forward with
the Phase I grant on the north
side of town. Two of four have
been accepted with conditions
being agreed upon. City is looking into the cost of putting the
matching lights up on the north
side of Broad Street.
Water Supply
Colony has always had water
problems. Small rains and two
snowstorms have helped with
the drought, but the drought
period remains. Perhaps not all
residents are aware of this. We
must continue to be conservative of water usage as spring
and summer will arrive soon.
We hope for ample rains but we
must think forward and conserve.
Appearing in an item Dec.
8, 1980 was the followingColonys residents appear to
show little regard for the citys
urgent requests to conserve
water. A month ago the water
superintendent urged water
users to cut their consumption down to 25,000 gallons a
day, a reduction of 7,000 gallons. Pleas seem to fall on deaf
ears for water is used at the
rate of 30,000 gal. daily. Colony
has nearly exhausted its primary water source, Deer Creek.
Water pockets upstream are
being drained as well as 6,000
gal. of water each day from
city wells. This is an attempt
to delay the time when Colony
will have to purchase its water
from Rural Water District No.
5. Colony will pay considerably
more for water then.
Today our water supply is
from the same source as the
Rural Water District No. 5 – the
Neosho River through Public
Wholesale Water Supply, Iola.
The Neosho River remains low;
water is supplied upstream
from the John Redmond Dam
Reservoir, which is low.

Chapter Y PEO plans
Daddy-Daughter Prom
Chapter Y PEO has chosen Butterfly Kisses as the
theme of its first annual DaddyDaughter Prom, planned for
April 6 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the
community building. The event
promises to treat little girls to an
evening in a fairy tale world of
music, dancing, refreshments,
favors and a souvenir photograph. Girls from 2 years old
through the sixth grade may be
escorted by dads, grandfathers,
uncles or family friends.
Admission is $15 per family. All event proceeds will be
applied to Chapter Ys scholarship projects. PEO is a philanthropic educational organization that supports educational
advancements for women,
at all levels of higher education. The local chapter is offering two $1,000 scholarships to
2013 graduates from Anderson
County High School who will be
enrolled in college this fall.
Chapter Y is also quietly
active in assisting with numerous community needs. Members
are found walking as a team of
Sassy Sisters in the Heeling
for Health Anderson County
Hospital Foundation event,
donating items to ECKAN,
participating as readers in the
Kansas Reads event, donating
books to the library reading
program and collecting eyeglasses for donation.
Date night at the DaddyDaughter Prom can make two
dreams come true. One is the
dream of a special little girl
being treated to an evening as a
princess. Another is the dream
of a student in need of financial
support.

During a very crucial
time in my life,
Anderson County
Hospital was there for
me. In 2009, not only
did I work for ACH but
I became a regular
patient. After I was
diagnosed with
Hodgkins lymphoma,
I needed several
diagnostic radiology and laboratory tests. I was
able to have nearly all of those done at ACH, as
well as chemotherapy port care and postchemotherapy injections. I was able to see
caregivers that I knew had my healing as their
goal. I hope I never need these particular services
again but if I do, I would choose the New
Anderson County Hospital. Im proud and thankful
to walk into ACH as an employee every day!
My two boys had
the first surgeries at
Anderson County
Hospital back in
1961. Good health
care was important
then, its important
now, and 60 years
from now. I encourage you to vote YES
for a new hospital
on April 2. The time is now, its well worth it!

ter Mary born in Germany,
and the other 10 children born
in Iowa and Scipio, Kansas.
(From these 12 descendants, the
Lickteig family line now has
over 60 priests and nuns that
have served all over the U.S.)
Walter Bernard Lickteig was
born at the Lickteig home place
at Greeley, Kansas on July
4, 1934 to William J. & Essie
Raitinger Lickteig, the 7th of
10 children to be born into the
family. He attended St. Johns
Grade School and Greeley High
School, then began working for
Fluor Corporation at Paola,
which becomes Taylor Forge.
On July 14, 1955, Walter and
Dorothy Lee Kipper were married at St. Boniface Catholic
Church, Scipio, with his brother
Fr. Anthony Lickteig officiating
at his first marriage after being
ordained a priest in Rome, Italy
and holding his first Mass two
days before on July 12, 1955 at
St. Johns Church in Greeley.
They resided on their farm
just southeast of Greeley, where
they lived for 9 years, and where
all 6 of their children were born
at the Garnett Hospital while
they lived there. In 1964 they
moved to his parents farm at
the east edge of Greeley along
Hwy 169.
Their children are: Nancy
Ann (Mrs. Fred) Katzer of
Greeley, KS-born June 3, 1956;
Elaine Marie (Mrs. David) Bones
of Princeton, KS-born June
26, 1958; Constance Jean (Mrs.
Martin) Breland of Clarksville,
Maryland-born Sept. 16, 1959;
Marjorie Lynn Thompson of
Louisburg, KS-born Oct. 31,
1960; Kenneth Lee Lickteig of
Centerville, KS-born Dec. 18,
1961; and Marilyn Kay Peine of
Garnett, KS-born Feb. 6, 1963.
From these 6 children they
now enjoy 24 grandchildren
and 29 great grandchildren.
Walter worked as a pipefitter/welder at Paola for 11 years,
and at Greeley plant and field
jobs for a total of 46 years. His
community activities include:
Fourth Degree Knight of
Columbus, past Grand Knight,
past 4th Degree K. of C. treasurer, past president of Greeley
Town & Country Club, president of Greeley Alumni 4 times,
St. Johns Church Council
and Usher, and financial and
rebuilding supporter of Gerth
Cabin through its completion,
and help on many community
projects and activities.
Dorothys proud ancestry
descends down from great
grandfather John Herman
& Maria Elizabeth Rollings
Wolken who came from Twist,
Germany in 1848 to New
Orleans and up the Mississippi
to Louisville, KY. in 1849; and in
1850 John operated a grist mill
making flour at Jefferson City,
MO., then at Taos, Missouri; and
on to Scipio, Kansas in 1855
where they were the parents
of the first white boy born in
Anderson County. Their home
was also one of three election
sites at the first election ever
held in Anderson County.
John Wolken is credited as
being the first white settler in
Reeder Township, near where
Central City later was located. Because of Indians in the
Central City area yet, and hearing of the Roeckers families
being in the Scipio area, they
moved to Scipio in 1855.
Mr. Wolken was also given
the distinction of bringing
about the organization of St.
Boniface Catholic Church and
donated the 20 acres of land for
the church and cemetery.
Dorothys other great grandparents were Theodore & Mary
Elizabeth Helmick Mersman,
both born in Germany and
came to Leavenworth, Kansas
area sometime before 1860 as
they are listed as living just
north of Leavenworth in
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, March 26, 2013
LOCAL
Kickapoo township records
at that time. Theodore was
killed by Quantrills Raiders
there on Feb. 21, 1865 while
hiding in a corn shuck stack.
Mary then married Anderson
Countys returning Civil War
soldier Christopher Witcop at
Leavenworth on Sept. 3, 1865
and they came to Chris farm
in Monroe Township to raise
her two sons, Joseph (Dorothys
grandfather, and Frank.) Mr.
Witcop had come to Anderson
County in 1854.
Dorothy was born on March
27, 1937 at Ottawa, KS Hospital,
while her parents lived at
Scipiothe 9th of 10 children
born to Albert Herman &
Theresa Mersman Kipperthe
only child of theirs being born
in a hospitaland being a medical problem to her parents even
before she was born!! But she
survived!
She attended East Scipio
Grade School and Richmond
High School. After their children were born, for a short while
they co-owned the grocery store
in Greeley and Dorothy worked
there a few years, then she
worked for her sister in Greeley
Caf for a few years before taking over the Insurance Agency
for Patrons & Columbia companies for 22 years.
Dorothy began her historical work back in 1978 when her
mother wanted her to find her
great grandfather Theodore
Mersmans grave so she could
be sure it was marked. This
included a trip to the archives in
Washington, D.C. to get solved,
and it was found he was buried
at Leavenworth in the cemetery
on the Fort grounds, then in
1869 when the cemetery was
moved off the Fort grounds and
south of town, he either did not
have a marker, or the wooden
marker had deteriorated and he
wasnt listed in the move.
By 1980, St. Johns Church
wanted a 100th anniversary
book compiled, so Dorothy
researched and worked on this
project. While researching here,
she found so much Greeley history that in 1981 she completed
that book, and 1,000 books were
sold.
Gilma Rogers and Elsie
Brown approached Dorothy
after seeing these other projects and asked if she would
start from the first newspapers
published in the county and
gather items as they felt there
was a whole lot of history missing yet. Walter was working
evenings, so this sounded like a
way to pass that time while he
was gone.
After 7-8 years of piling up history papers, and the Historical
Society not then wanting the
work, Walter bought Dorothy
a computer, and her son-in-law
David Bones helped with the
learning stages, and she was on
her way!
Over these years Dorothy
has completed all the town
newspapers (except finishing
up on 2nd Volume of Colony
right now). These include 49
current historical works of: 6
Garnett Volumes, 2 Greeley, 3
Westphalia, 3 Kincaid, 1 Colony,
1 Harris, Scipio, Lone Elm
papers, Anderson Co. Cemetery
Book, 12 yearly cemetery booklets, Anderson Co. Courthouse

Dorothy was the only survivor of a mid-air plane crash 8001,000 feet in the air on March 19,
1969 over Kansas City, Kansas;
which has inspired her drive
and thankfulness for the many
blessings which have passed
her way.
And thank you to everyone
who has helped me, stood by
me, lifted me up, and shared
your history with me over these
years, Dorothy said.
Puritans were absorbed in religion
Here are a few more early
day religious practices.
The preacher, who sometimes boarded with members
of the church, just as school
teachers boarded with parents
of school children, frequently
held another job during the
week. Some of the secondary occupations on record
are butcher, merchant, judge,
physician, school teacher,
surveyor, tavern keeper, and
constable. Donation parties
were held to supplement the
parsons modest pay, and sewing bees were held by the good
ladies of the congregation to
provide garments for his family.
In the days before hymnals
were generally available, it
was customary for a preacher
to line the hymns; that is, he
would read or sing one or two
lines and then the congregation would repeat them. To
make sure that everyone could
hear the preacher, sounding

boards were installed back of
the pulpit in some churches to
amplify his voice.
So important was religion in
the early days that members of
the church used to make notes
of what the preacher said in
his sermon and then discuss
the pros and cons during the
ensuing week. Thus, his utterances received through analysis, and the preacher whose
beliefs and arguments stood
up week after week became a
real force and influence in the
community.

Many local residents spent
much of the past week paying
homage to courage and watching
world events unfold on television. They commemorated the
life of a decorated hero from
World War II Co. Edson D. Raff,
U.S. Army (Ret.), and watched
television coverage of the war in

further toward the capitol city of
Baghdad, taking the first combat

Opponents of a dog kennel

Rabies was confirmed in a
raccoon that was shot in the 500
block of East Sixth Avenue in
Garnett last Tuesday. The animal had been sent to Manhattan
for testing, and the results were
received recently that the animal
was rabid. Residents are cautioned to be on the lookout for
any animal displaying unusual
behavior and to report such incidents immediately.
In 1878, Rutherford Hayes
was U.S. president, the first commercial telephone exchange was
opened in New Haven, Conn., and
it was two years after General
George A. Custer battled the
Indians and lost at Little Big

Yesterday, Bobby Ecclefield
discovered a leather mail sack
lying against the fence about fifty
rods west of the M.E. church at
Welda. Remembering that a mail
sack had been stolen from the
Santa Fe Depot last December,
he took it to the depot, and the
agent there took charge of it and
notified the proper authorities.
The thief had broken the lock
and evidently rifled the sack.
There were several letters and
some papers in the sack, besides
a little woolen hood and number
of rings Christmas presents,
no doubt but there was nothing
in the sack to indicate to whom
they belonged.

the Sabbath. A man wasnt
even permitted to do important chores on his farm until
the day was over. Gods time
was not to be fritted away,
either, on visiting shops, window shopping, strolling down
the street, or sitting under the
apple or cherry tree. There
was to be no cooking, bed making, sweeping or traveling.
However, it was permissible to
drink perry, quince, claret and
mum, as well as rum, beer and
ale on the Sabbath.
The Puritans also were
fanatically opposed to celebrating Christmas because it
meant of loss of time from

Have you met God Fann, Kerr recovering from surgeries
on His terms?
In our Bible study class at
church we have been studying
The Irresistible Invitation:
Responding to the Extravagant
Heart of God. In this study
Maxie Dunnam authored a
study about drawing people
into a richer, deeper relationship with God. One of
the topics he discusses is the
experience of a monk, Brother
Lawrence, who lived in the
seventeenth century. Brother
Lawrence was so moved by
his encounter with God that
even the simple task of cooking for the monastery resulted
in him experiencing the presence of God. Dunnam states,
Its too easy to fall into the
trap of thinking that, if weve
had a life changing encounter
with God, our circumstances
will also change dramatically
when in fact our circumstances dont change- we do.
When we meet God on his
terms we do change. We begin
to see ourselves as God sees
us. I think we need to reflect
on that. What does God want
to see when he looks at us?
First I believe he wants to see
a repentant person. One who
has changed from the old self.
You might say well Im a good
person. That is goodness in the
eyes of the world. In Romans
3:23 Paul says, For all have
sinned and fall short of the
glory of God. God requires
Weekly
Devotional

more than human goodness.
John the Baptist said, Repent
for the kingdom of God is at
hand.
Second God wants to see a
person who is committed to
serving him. Committed in
terms of our giving, our church
attendance, our prayers and
service. That means what it
says. If we are committed to
something then we will make
sacrifices of our own time and
resources to see a successful
outcome. The word sacrifice
implies a giving up of something in hopes of achieving a
better end. Jesus did just that
when he died for you and for
me. When God looks at us to
see if we are a changed person will he see repentance and
commitment. If not maybe
youve never met God on his
terms.

Committees keep Jones hopping in House
BY KEVIN JONES
KANSAS HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Committees are meeting
non-stop to get out the most
important issues to our State
this session. This being the last
week to get bills out of committee, I have found myself in
one committee, needing to get
to another, with another overlapping that one. The danger
is that a bill could be heard
with a few legislators not there,
or there could be a committee
bill vote without all of the legislators there; not to mention
possibly not getting all of the
pertinent information to make
a wise & discerning decision.
Rushing the process when we
are dealing with all that we
value most could undermine
the democratic process of our
state.
While in Pensions & Benefits
committee this week, I voted
with an almost unanimous
committee to table a last minute bill that would change
the Kansas Public Employees
Retirement System (KPERS)
pension plan from a defined
benefit/cash balance hybrid
that was passed last session
(and will go into effect this
year) to a defined contribution
401K hybrid plan. Although I do
not want to wait on this issue,
the best explanation I heard
when describing a change to
our current KPERS system is
this: Imagine a very complex
mobile like one that would be
above a childs crib. Take one
piece of that mobile tap it
and what happens? Every
other piece is impacted in some
way. This makes it very hard
to predict what could happen
overall without prudent study
of the plan so that a discerning
& wise decision can be made.
This will be first up next year.
We did pass out of committee (by a 7-6 vote) a bill that will
allow our State to create bonds
for the purpose of chipping
away at our State 10 billion
dollar unfunded liability to our
current retirement system. It
is yet to be seen if this will pass
the House or Senate, so stay
tuned.
There are a few other debates
that are hot right now. One
is whether Kansas should go
along with the Common Core
standard in education coming
down from the Federal level or
whether we should do our own.
Another is the 2nd Amendment
Protection Act that has not
been worked by the Senate yet,
but was passed out of the House
last week. What is a fixture
or not affixed concerning
property taxes is also hot right
now. This topic could impact
our districts tax base in a substantial way.
As always it is my pleasure to
serve you. With session being
such a busy time, I was feeling
a little disconnected from those
in the South half of the 5th
District. I set up some listening sessions to make myself
available to you, so if it is not
too much trouble I would love
to meet you at one of these:
30 March 13, Ottawa, KS at
City Hall from 10-11 a.m.
6 April 13, Colony, KS at the
Country Diner, 214 W. Broad St,
from 8-9 a.m.
13 April 13, Parker, KS at
the One Stop, 301 E. Woodward
St, from 7:30-8:30 a.m.
I had the pleasure to host six
pages on March 13th: Katelyn
Alley and Zane Phelps from
Anderson County Jr High,
James Harrison and Rance
Waddle from Osawatomie
Middle School, and Ethan
Blevins and Marisa Carman
from Wellsville Middle School.
I was very impressed with their
work ethic and the fact that
some of them gave up some
Spring Break time to come help
me in Topeka! We were on the
floor of the House for 4-5 hours
that day and they were busy.
In fact, I am proud to say that
it was our 5th district pages
that stayed later than required
of their own volition. We took
over Governor Brownbacks
office for our picture, because
he was gone that day.

studies, constituents, chatting,
stairs to climb, articles to write,

Tyson: Tax bill will keep money in your pocket
BY CARYN TYSON
KANSAS SENATE
The Senate passed a tax bill
(HB 2059) that would continue
to ratchet down Kansas income
tax rates, while still providing
the necessary services. The
bill needs some work but it is
a step towards keeping taxpayer money in your pocket–not
sending it to Topeka.
While decreasing income
taxes, the bill also decreases
the amount of deductions available. Several of us worked to
create an equation that would
decrease all deductions proportionally as income taxes
are decreased, instead of just
removing the mortgage interest deduction. The charitable
contribution deduction was not
included in the equation. We
were successful in making this
change to the bill.
Last year, the tax plan signed
into law reduced Kansas income
tax for individuals by reducing
the three income tax brackets
to two, and lowered income tax
rates to 3.0 percent for the lowest income tax earners and 4.9
percent for the highest income
tax earners.
HB 2059 would reduce the
lowest tax bracket to 2.5 percent
and by 2016, would reduce it to
1.9 percent. Individuals making more than $50,000 a year
would see a reduction of their
tax rates from 4.9 percent to
3.5 percent by 2017. After 2017,
any state general fund growth
over 4 percent would be used to
further buy down the income
tax rates for filers.
HB 2059 freezes the current
sales tax rate at 6.3 percent.
The Senate is committed to
providing further tax relief
for Kansans and to creating a
competitive business environment in our state. The private
market is where true job cre-
ation is made and, in order for
Kansas to be competitive, state
government must leave more of
Kansans hard-earned money
in their pockets.
HB 2022, also known as the
paycheck protection act, would
stop the use of taxpayer money
to make payroll deductions
for members of public sector
unions. Our taxpayer money
should not be used to collect
money for third party groups.
The more we can streamline our
accounting and the burden on
the system, the more successful
we become at smaller government. Individuals can setup
direct deposit, write a check,
have automatic withdrawal, or
many other options to spend
their paycheck. While the bill
would eliminate the option
for the payroll deduction, it is
important to note members are
not prohibited from contributing to their unions PAC.
The bill also includes amendments to the wage payment act
which allows employers to withhold a portion of an employees
wages if they have loaned them
money, overpaid their salary or
purchased any merchandise or
uniforms used by the employee. The provision also allows
employers to withhold a portion of an employees final
wages if the employee does not
return property belonging to
the employer; to repay a loan
or advance the employer made
to the employee; to recoup an
overpayment for payroll; or,
to replace an employers merchandise, uniforms or equipment lost or damaged by the
employee.
The bill further revises
the current Professional
Negotiations Act and Public
Employer-Employee Relations
Act (PEERA) by redefining and
restricting all partisan or political employee organizations
(PEOs). Additionally, HB 2022
prohibits PEOs from negotiating with boards of education
regarding the terms and conditions of professional services,
or from deducting dues from
members paychecks for partisan or political activities. If
a public employee wanted to
spend money for partisan or
political purposes, then they
would need to ensure members
contributions were voluntary.
The bill passed the Senate on a
vote of 24 to 16.
A few weeks ago, the Senate
passed SCR 1601–a measure
that would amend the process
of how Kansas Supreme Court
Justices and Kansas Court of
Appeal judges are selected. The
House sent us their version for
changes in judicial selection,
HB 2019. HB 2019 includes
the same provisions as SCR
1601 except it would amend the
Kansas Constitution.
HB 2019 would allow for the
gubernatorial appointment and
Senate confirmation of judges.
The bill is now on its way to
the governors office and will
be the first bill signed into law
this session. The bill passed on
a vote of 28 to 12.
SB 45, if signed by the governor, prohibits the use of state
appropriated money to lobby
the federal, state, or local units
of government for increased
gun control measures. The bill
protects the rights of taxpayers
and enforces that public funds
are not used to pursue a political
agenda against legal products,
including guns. SB 45 passed
the Senate by a vote of 32 to 8,
and now advances to the Kansas
House of Representatives for
further action.
HB 2252, is a bill that
eliminates the statutes of limitation for the prosecution of
rape or aggravated criminal
sodomy. The bill also allows

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, March 26, 2013
HEALTH
Aging agency to provide free
legal services to senior citizens
April 16 is National
Healthcare Decisions Day and
the East Central Kansas Area
Agency on Aging (ECKAAA)
has teamed up with Kansas
Legal Services to provide Living
Wills and General Durable
Healthcare Powers of Attorney
to senior citizens age 60 and
over at no cost. The event will
be held at the ECKAAA office at
117 S Main St., Ottawa, from 10
a.m. to 2 p.m. that day. Kansas
Legal Services will have staff
and pro bono attorneys on site
to meet with clients and the
documents will be executed and
notarized before you leave.
A Living Will, also known as
a Healthcare Directive, is a declaration of your wishes whether or not to receive life sustaining procedures in the event you
have a terminal condition. It is
only effective if two physicians
have declared you to be termi-
nally ill. It can be revoked by
you at any time, either orally or
in writing.
A General Durable Power of
Attorney for Healthcare is a
legal document giving another
individual or individuals the
ability to make healthcare decisions on your behalf in the
event you cannot make those
decisions yourself. These decisions can include whether to
consent to or withhold treatment, selecting physicians and
treatment centers for your care,
and other medical decisions
ranging from routine care to
decisions about life-sustaining
treatment.
This event is a great opportunity for you to make some
of those healthcare decisions
that you have been putting
off for awhile. By having a
Living Will and/or a General
Durable Power of Attorney for
Healthcare, you are taking care
of your affairs early, and in the
manner you wish.
The event runs from 10:00AM
until 2:00PM. Call to make an
appointment as there are a limited number of appointments.
Every attempt will be made to
work walk-in appointments
into the day but an appointment guarantees your spot
for help. Call Leslea to make
your appointment and be sure
to mention it is for National
Healthcare Decisions Day at
785-242-7200 or 1-800-633-5621.
If you are not ready to make
these decisions just yet, but
would like more information
about these documents, or need
legal advice about a different
matter, you can contact Kansas
Legal Services assistance line
at 1-800-723-6953.
Hospital looks to widen access
to primary, specialty care
GARNETT Anderson
County Hospital announced
today its ongoing strategic
efforts to expand services in
Anderson County through
various options including
exploration of outreach primary care clinics in smaller
communities in the county.
According to CEO Dennis
Hachenberg, Outreach services continue to be a top
priority for us. We have
recently added a provider to
the Family Care Center and
have an additional provider
joining us this fall. We can
now begin to explore more
definitive options to expand
primary care services in the
county.
Saint Lukes Health
System is a leader in telemedicine solutions providing
specialty services through
its eHealth connection at
Anderson County Hospital.
Through live audio and
video, clinicians and patients
at Anderson County Hospital
have direct access to specialists at other Saint Lukes
locations. eHealth telemedicine addresses many of the
challenges patients face in
rural areas, including access
to care and expenses, travel
time, and anxiety associated with medical visits to
the city. Anderson County
Hospital currently offers a
tele-health clinic for psychiatry and continues to work
with the Saint Lukes Health
System to provide additional
needed clinics for the community.
We continue to look for
opportunities to bring highly
valued services to the community, said Hachenberg.
We recently added Saturday
hours for our Family Care
Center and have a new
surgeon joining us this
spring. We are excited about
the opportunity to offer
added convenience for our
patients.
Anderson County Hospital
is a member of Saint Lukes
Health System, which consists of 10 area hospitals and
several primary and specialty care practices, and provides a range of inpatient,
outpatient and home care
services. Founded as a faithbased, not-for-profit organization, our mission includes
a commitment to the highest
levels of excellence in health
care and the advancement of
medical research and education. The health system is
an aligned organization in
which the physicians and
hospitals assume responsibility for enhancing the
physical, mental and spiritual health of people in the
metropolitan Kansas City
area and the surrounding
region.

to appear in print.
Fewer than one out of every
five nursing homes got an overall rating of five stars, said
Avery Comarow, U.S. News
health rankings editor. All
seniors deserve the best nursing care available, and these are
homes that merit their consideration by demonstrating such
high quality.
Anderson County Hospital
is a member of Saint Lukes
Health System, which consists
of 10 area hospitals and several primary and specialty care
practices, and provides a range
of inpatient, outpatient and
home care services.
