County road
lawsuit continues
2015 road debacle
appears headed for
October jury trial
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Legal action
between Anderson County and
a Utah-based road contractor
that sprung from a dispute over
a 2015 road repair is entering
its fourth year and headed
toward an October jury trial.
County
commissioners
met earlier this month with
David Green, the attorney with
Foulston-Siefkin, whos representing Anderson County in its
legal claim against Coughlin
Company of St. George, Utah.
The meeting was in executive
session with commissioners
and county road department
head Lester Welsh and county
counselor James Campbell. No
related action was taken after
the executive session.
The case is set for a
September pre-trial conference
in Anderson County District
Court, but its unknown if
theres a possibility of a settlement prior to the October 29
scheduled jury trial.
Theyre still investigating
on both sides, said county
clerk Julie Heck. Theyre moving along, but I think theyre
still a long way from the end of
it.
At issue is a roughly 9-mile
section of 1600 Road west of
Garnett which the county hired
Coughlin to resurface in the
summer of 2015. Coughlin was
the only company to bid the
project prior to its startup, and
the county initially hired the
company under the belief that
its cold in place recycling
method would save about half
the cost of standard hot-mix
paving for the hard surface
road. West Seventh Street in
Garnett becomes 1700 Road and
later 1600 Road as it merges
south into the countys primary central-west paved route

A little fatter, but we smoke less Veterans memorial aims
Health factors measured in
study show Anderson Countys
comparison to state, nation
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
MADISON, WI A new national health
study says Anderson County residents are
a little fatter but smoke a little less than
Kansans on the average. Overall we rank
about average in health compared to other
Kansas counties.
The study ranked health factors of
every county in the United States based
on publically available health data. The
County Health Rankings & Roadmaps
program is a collaboration between the
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and
the University of Wisconsin Population
Health Institute. The goals of the program are to provide compiled data to
local communities so they can improve
health infrastruction and improve awareness and engagement of healthy lifestyles
among local residents.
Overall, Anderson County ranked a
little below the mid-range of Kansas counties, 60th in health outcomes, but 74th
in length of life, among the states 105
counties. Cancer and heart disease were
the primary causes of premature death,
defined as deaths of individuals under 75
years of age.
The countys quality of life ranking
was above the mid-range at 45, and general health behaviors ranked 55th among
counties in the state.
Among numerous health factors measured for the report, Anderson County
ranked at 16 percent in adult smoking
compared to 17 for the state compared to
all counties in the nation, and at 35 percent in adult obesity compared to 33 percent in the state. The county came in at 30
percent in physical inactivity compared
to 24 percent in Kansas. It ranked at 15
percent in excessive drinking compared
to a 17 percent ranking for the state.
Anderson Countys widest disparity
in the survey was in citizens access to
exercise opportunities 55 percent of the
countys population compared to 80 percent statewide.
Johnson County ranked highest
in Kansas in overall health outcomes.

for Spring 2020 unveiling
GARNETT The county
committee charged with
designing and building a veterans memorial on the courtyard of the Anderson County
Courthouse has set a revised
target of Spring 2020 for its
completion.
County clerk Julie Heck
said the committee spent its
March 20 meeting working
on the design for the project, which earlier this year
was revised from a traditional granite etched monument
to a technology-based kiosk
capable of more diverse and
updatable photos, audio and
video additions to its individual veteran records.
The project has taken
years to get off the ground.
Originally proposed by members of the local American
Legion and Veterans of
Foreign Wars posts in 2012,
committee members became
entangled in concerns over
mechanics of participation
and in fears for correct name
spellings, since the original

Spring has sprung, but April may be cooler, wetter Two
join Anderson, others
Were still not done
with moisture; planting
window may be narrow
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
MANHATTAN Spring has
finally sprung, but state weather officials say locals may be
looking at a cooler and wetter
than normal April.
That might make it a tight
window for area farmers planning on planting corn early
next month.
Unfortunately,
April
favors cooler than normal
temperature and greater than
normal precipitation, said
Mary Knapp with the Kansas
State University Weather Data
Library. Soil temperatures
have begun to warm, but that
kind of pattern will be a double
whammy slow warm up on
the soils and saturated ground
that prevents field work.
Knapp said the immediate
forecast through this weekend
was for above average temperatures and possibly wetter
than normal conditions.
Still, some sun and warmer temperatures is a welcome
reprieve for local residents,
particularly local farmers,
whove slogged through water
saturated ground inbetween
freezes that brought snow and
ice storms intermittently all
winter.

WEATHER…
FROM PAGE 1
week Anderson County had
recorded 5.03 inches of precipitation since Jan. 1, ahead
of the 3.78 inches recorded
over the same period in 2018.
Last year heavy rains in
the fall and a drenching 11
inches of rainfall recorded
in October netted the county
nearly 49 inches of rain over
the year more than 8 inches
above average.
Setting the stage
By Kim Baldwin, McPherson
County farmer
As in life, sometimes things
dont go as planned on the
farm. A prime example is when
my husband and 6-year-old
son recently brought home an
orphaned heifer from a family friends herd. The calf was
just a few hours old when she
moved into our barn and started receiving care. It was during
one of the bitter-cold weeks
when farmers were working
around the clock to ensure — to
the best of their abilities — the
health and safety of their animals. The mother didnt make
it, and without stepping in, the
calf would not have survived
either.
When the calf was in the
barn, the boys immediately fed
her, and put a heat lamp on her.
Over the next few days my son,
husband and I taught that calf
how to drink from a bottle.
It wasnt easy. It was cold. It
required putting on extra layers and leaving the comforts
of our home to trudge to the
barn in the dark at times. It
required waking up earlier or
stepping away from a favorite cartoon or waiting to eat a
meal. It required patience and
strength while the calf was held
and slowly, but surely, learned
how to get its milk. During this
time the calf was not the only
one learning.
At first, my son was quite
apprehensive about holding the
bottle while a squirmy, hungry
calf made her best efforts to fill
her belly. Besides, holding four
pints of milk replacer in a large
bottle can be tough for a kindergartener.
Soon the calf figured out how
to nurse, and my son became
comfortable with feeding.
Were at the point now that
our son can take the bottle out
to the barn before he leaves
for school in the morning and
when he gets home at night.
He feeds his calf without our
help. Yes, we still assist him on
occasion, but our kindergartner is the one making sure the
calf is fed and cared for every
day. (My husband and I keep
a watchful eye on him from a
distance.)
When I mentioned my sons
chores and newly assigned
responsibilities to a coworker recently, the response I
received was, Wow! Thats a
lot for a little boy his age.
I thought about that comment for perhaps a little too
long and began to question

whether our expectations of
our son are set too high. In the
end, I came to the same conclusion Im sure my parents and
my husbands parents came to
when we were children: its an
appropriate age, especially for
our child.
Lady Bird Johnson once said
children are apt to live up to
what you believe of them.
My son is capable of this
responsibility because I know
he can do it.
Even though the initial days
with that little calf were trying, and tears were shed, and
the I cant do it statements
were made, and the feedings
took an extremely long time
to complete, my husband and
I assured our son that he was
capable of handling this situation.
My husband and I are setting the stage for our son to
experience grit, determination,
hard work and the ability to
persevere. And while living on
a farm requires all of the above
plus more, life in general does
as well. Were doing our part
to prepare our son to face and
respond to challenges in the
future.
While a lot of things dont
go as planned for us on the
farm, one thing will remain a
constant: our children will be
accountable and held responsible for tasks on our farm -even if they seem daunting for
a child — because we believe
our children can and will meet
the expectations set for them. I
have found when things dont
go as planned, we too learn new
ways of doing things and find
out what is possible to accomplish within the farm and within ourselves. Our son is finding
this out with his calf.
Chores that once seemed
daunting are now fun, he has a
sense of purpose and an understanding that his calf depends
on him for its wellbeing. The
lessons learned in the barn
on these cold mornings before
school will be ones we as parents feel will help him succeed
in school and life, whether he
chooses to follow us on the
farm or make his own path in
the world.

Is it more important to influence people than to impress
them? I believe that is the theory that Jesus embraced. In our
world today there seems to be
a disturbing trend for the need
to impress people. I believe in
some cases we have gotten to
the point where we prefer style
over substance. Political offices are often won because a certain individual may have more
appeal than someone else.
I doubt Abraham Lincoln
could be elected to any office
today. Yet Lincoln provides
us with a suitable comparison
of style and substance. Both
President Lincoln and the venerable Edward Everett were
asked by Pennsylvania judge
David Willis to make speeches
at the dedication of a union cemetery. Lincoln was President of
the United States at the time
and Everett the nations foremost rhetorician.
History
records that Lincolns presence
was requested as almost an
afterthought. Lincolns speech
despite its brevity, as opposed
to Everetts long-forgotten two
hour oration, has become one
of the most memorable of all
time. It is commonly referred
to as the Gettysburg Address.
Christs character was full
of substance. He wept over
Jerusalem, and over the death
of his friend Lazarus. Jesus
healed the disabled man at
the pool, sat on the mountain
side and taught the people,
and prayed specifically for
Peter prior to the crucifixion.
What kind of person does this
describe? Some people might
say that describes someone
who would not be a very good
leader. But yet what is the
primary characteristic a leader
must possess. He must be able

to influence people. Anyone in
a true leadership position who
cannot influence people by his
character will ultimately fail.
As Christ hung on that cross
much was revealed about his
character. Jesus proved he
loved the Father and was obedient to him even unto death.
With that in mind maybe we
should examine our own character. What kind of influence
are we having on our own family, friends, and co-workers?
Are we living our lives to
please God or to please others?
Let me ask a question? If you
were brought a court of law
and put on trial to prove you
were a Christian would there
be enough evidence to convict
you or would it be unclear you
were a Christian? That may
sound far fetched but it really
isnt because some day we will
be judged on whether we are
Christian or not. In John 5:2627, we read, For as the Father
has life in himself, so has he
granted to the Son to have
life in himself. And he has
been given authority to judge
because he (Jesus) is the Son of
Man. You and I will be judged
by the One who died for us.
That leaves one question. Are
you innocent or guilty of being
a Christian?

OPINION
Rural Opportunity Zones
good for Kansas populations
One program that actually has helped hold
some people and bind them to rural Kansas has
been the Rural Opportunity Zones plan adopted
by the state a few years ago and supported by
many Kansas counties.
The state program offers a five-year exemption from state income taxes to those who will
live and work in one of 77 designated rural
Kansas counties. In partnership with participating counties, the state will pay off up to
$15,000 in student
loan debt for

and
many new setstrong water lines.
tlers have taken
advantage of both
the tax forgiveness and the student-loan payments, but oddly
enough, the program often is not what drew
them to our counties.
County officials say most of these young
people say they heard about the opportunity
program only after they moved to an eligible
county.
What that means is that the program is
working, but it could do a lot more. It obviously hasnt been promoted enough by the state,
by the counties involved and by the economic
development agencies.
Everyone even thinking about moving to
rural Kansas should be told about this program
before its too late.
And unfortunately, that day may be coming.
Gov. Laura Kelly has been quoted as wanting
to end the program. She says shed like to focus
on infrastructure, housing, downtown renewal
and other programs.
We hope it isnt just that former Gov. Sam
Brownback and his administration conceived

the Opportunity Zone program, because among
all the efforts made to attract and keep people
out here, this one makes sense.
Infrastructure roads, water and sewer
lines, hard stuff like that is nice. Its vital to
any communitys economic life. But not very
sexy. Few people will be attracted to a town
because it has strong water lines.
Good schools, yes. Those are important.
Housing is vital, and we need more. And downtown renewal is nice, but its been done again
and again.
Its good to have a spiffy downtown, but beautification wont do much for us if there are no
stores and offices to fill the buildings. Good
streets and water lines are important, but no
one ever chose a town based on those.
Pay peoples student loans and forgive their
taxes for a while, people like that kind of thing.
Its direct and tangible.
Gov. Kelly, give us a chance here. This program, properly promoted, could be a real winner for rural Kansas. This is not the time to pull
the plug.

Progressives dont fully appreciate Socialism
BY DAN WEBER
ASSOCIATION OF MATURE AMERICAN CITIZENS
Vice President Mike Pence says the
left uses euphemisms and catchphrases to
describe their progressive agendas. Pence told
the recent CPAC gathering in the nations
capital: Bernie [Sanders] has been joined by
a chorus of candidates and newly elected officials who have papered over the failed policies
of socialism with bumper-sticker slogans and
slick social-media campaigns.
The reason they use shorthand to describe
socialism is that it would scare the pants off
of those millennial Democrats and even some
seasoned party apparatchiks if the truth be
told.
Perhaps it is because progressive Young
Turks those millennials — are too young to
appreciate the scope of the evil empire that
was the USSR, the Union of the Soviet Socialist
Republics. They think those countries that
were captives of the Soviet Union joined up
because it was an opportunity to provide better lives for their citizens. They think Poland,
Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and all
the others wanted to be part of a way of life
that was uplifting, forward looking and fair
to each and every citizen whether they were
members of government or just your average
Joe.
A little more than a year ago, Victims
of Communism Memorial Foundation, an
organization created by a unanimous Act of
Congress in 1993, conducted a survey that
showed an alarming 44% of millennials say
they would rather live in a socialist country
than in a capitalist state. Meanwhile, a Gallup
poll showed that Democrats, in general, have
a positive view of socialism
Pravda was the official mouthpiece of the
Soviets. The newspapers sole mission was,
not to inform, but to mislead gullible subscribers in the free world and the inmates of
the Soviet-controlled homelands into thinking that the Central Committee had only
good intentions. Since the so-called fall of
Communism in Russia, Pravda has modeled
itself in the fashion of traditional Western
media as a true source of information.
Not long ago, Pravda published an article
describing what it was like to live in a Socialist
state, noting that just like our own millennials, the younger generations in cities such as
Moscow and St. Petersburg have a delusional
view of the Soviet system. They actually think
that life was better under the likes of Lenin,
Stalin, Khrushchev and Brezhnev and their
NKVD and KGB thugs [think Gestapo on steroids] who kept the citizenry in check. But,
the older folk, those who lived in fear during
those good old days, know better.
Life in the USSR was bad, Pravda reported. Everyone was living in poverty throughout Soviet history, not only during the period
of perestroika. In large cities, a customer in
a food store could buy canned cod liver and
smoked sausage, and that would be possible
on a good day. Food stores in smaller towns
and villages were empty. At the same time,
radio and television would report record high
milk yield and amazing achievements in the
poultry industry. Food stores were selling
liquid (diluted) sour cream out of huge dirty
aluminum cans, as well as bitter herring
(wrapped in newspaper), thin bluish whole
chickens, brick-like bread and tasteless birchtree juice.
As Mr. Pence put it at the CPAC gathering,
Freedom encourages investments; socialism
stifles growth. Socialism demands conformity. America was founded on liberty and inde-
pendence, not government coercion.
Pences message is a far cry from the notion
former president, Barack Obama, offered up
to youngsters at the Young Leaders of the
Americas Initiative in Buenos Aires in 2016.
President Obama told that gathering that
there really is no difference between our way
of life and that of a socialist or communist.
In Barack Obamas own words: so often
in the past theres been a sharp division
between left and right, between capitalist and
communist or socialist. And especially in the
Americas, thats been a big debate, right? Oh,
you know, youre a capitalist Yankee dog,
and oh, you know, youre some crazy communist thats going to take away everybodys
property. And I mean, those are interesting
intellectual arguments, but I think for your
generation, you should be practical and just
choose from what works. You dont have to
worry about whether it neatly fits into socialist theory or capitalist theory — you should
just decide what works.
Cuba is no intellectual argument, neither is Venezuela or North Korea. Life in
those countries is the reality of what is the
kind of existence we can expect if we capitalist Yankee dogs allow the crazy communists
among us to prevail.
The USSR was the cradle of communism
and its newspaper of record finally had to
admit that life in the USSR under communism or socialism, if you prefer was bad.

Southern Poverty Law Center designates itself
The Southern Poverty Law Center has
designated itself an organization hostile to
women and people of color.
It fired its co-founder Morris Dees for unexplained reasons and removed his bio from its
website at the same time it pledged to train its
management in racial equity, inclusion and
results.
Simultaneous with the cashiering of Dees
after nearly 50 years at the SPLC, roughly two
dozen employees wrote a letter warning allegations of mistreatment, sexual harassment,
gender discrimination, and racism threaten
the moral authority of this organization and
our integrity along with it.
The missive is touching in its assumption that the SPLC still has moral authority
or integrity. The scandal is, nonetheless, a
remarkable comeuppance for an organization
that has weaponized political correctness for
its own money-grubbing.
Over the decades, the SPLC basically made
the philosopher Eric Hoffers famous line
about organizational degeneracy its strategic
plan: Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually
degenerates into a racket.
Originally founded as a civil-rights group
in 1971 and gaining fame for its campaign to
bankrupt the Ku Klux Klan, the SPLC shifted
to a catchall anti-hate group that widened
its definition of hate to encompass more and
more people as the Klan faded as a threat.
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
It used the complicity or credulousness
of the media in repeating its designations to
punish its ideological enemies and engage in
prodigious fundraising. It raised $50 million
a year and built an endowment of more than
$300 million.
Imagine a left-wing outfit with the same
shoddy standards as Joe McCarthy, but with a
better business sense.
Usually, being named by the SPLC means
having the designation routinely noted by the
press whatever its merits, but occasionally
theres recourse.
True to form, the SPLC somehow deemed
Maajid Nawaz and his Quilliam Foundation -devoted to pushing back against radical Islam
— anti-Muslim even though Nawaz is himself a
Muslim. He sued for defamation.
The SPLC steadily climbed down. First, it
withdrew the Field Guide to Anti-Muslim
Extremists that included him, then settled
for $3.375 million. We would like, the SPLC
said, to extend our sincerest apologies to
Mr. Nawaz, Quilliam, and our readers for the
error.
The error? This makes it sound like the
SPLC misspelled his name rather than going
out of its way to include him in a research
report meant to put a blot on his reputation
forevermore.
Theres a lot of talk of the need for more
civility in our public life. Any journalist who
believes this should shun the SPLC. Its business model is based on an elaborate form of
name-calling. It lumps together people who
have legitimate, good-faith opinions the SPLC
finds uncongenial with hideous racists, using
revulsion with the latter to discredit the former.
This is a poisonous form of public argument. Not to mention that many of the groups
the SPLC smears have never had its employees complain about its hostile workplace culture. If the SPLC is going to engage in a period
of self-reflection, it should think about what
its become — and recoil in shame.

should have to run for re-election like anyone
else. What Gwin is doing is unethical, but Huss
and Gwin are constantly doing what is best for
them and not the citizens they are elected to
represent. Bringing in three new commissioners
couldnt possibly be any worse than what Gwin
has been doing to the city for years.
In our last election we voted 537 to 483, a difference of 54 votes, to go to a five member city commission. This was a non-binding referendum.
Garnett is a small community with a population
of 3,253. We have 2,279 registered voters. Our city
taxpayer base would be less than that. We have
hired a city manager at the salary of $85,000 plus
perqs and travel expenses. We have three elected
city commissioners at $5,400 apiece a year and
travel expenses. The mayor makes an extra $600
yearly. So we are paying four people at the cost of
$101,800 in salary plus perqs every year to speak
for us. It is hard to find qualified candidates to
run for office. Do we really need the cost and
confusion of two more pepole? Sometimes more
create more turmoil. Look at Washington, D.C.
We have 100 senators and 435 representatives.
The only thing they can agree on is to give themselves a raise and they do that in the middle of
the night. We all want what is best for our city.
Is two new faces on city payroll going to help? I
hope everyone will look at this issue very seriously and get out and vote.
I have a solution for those people in Kincaid that
a dog runs loose in. Why dont all the dog owners
in Kincaid let their dog run loose, since the City
of Kincaid does nothing about that dog running
loose?
For you young people that think that socialism
will get rid of all those filthy rich people and
make you better off, think again. Under socialism there will still be rich people and poor people. The difference is that under the capitalist
system we have now the ones who have money
are those ones that are smart, hard working, athletic blessed by God or sometimes lucky. Under
socialism, the government will pick the rich and
the poor. If you dont like how the rich and poor
are picked, it will turn into communism which is
social enforced with guns. You probly wont have
guns at that time to fight back, because they will
have convinced you that you didnt need them.

HISTORY
Signs of spring keep
popping up all over
What?!? Has Spring actually
arrived in Garnett, Ks.?
On a trip outside this morning, I noticed two things that
are truly signs of Spring.
First of all I noticed how
the grass is beginning to really green up and starting to
show thru the brown grass
and leaves of last fall. Now, we
all know what thats a sign of
yardwork which includes raking and mowing.
Secondly, I noticed our
spring bulb plants poking
their heads up in our flower
beds, etc. By the way have you
noticed all the robins coming
back from their wintering
homes and hopping all around
looking for those early worms
and bugs?
A week ago Saturday March
the 16th, the afternoon was so
nice that I decided to adventure
outside with my metal detector.
No, I didnt hunt for gold
or even for any lost artifacts,
but what I did was, hunt for a
friend of mines property line

stakes. Im sorry to report, it
didnt turn out to be a very
profitable detecting adventure.
Oh well, at least it got me outside, doing what I love to do.
If and when it ever dries out
and a couple of my hunting
sites just happen to get burned
off, Ill be a very busy and
happy guy.
My wife Kay always reminds
me: Take it one day at a time
and enjoy it.
I plan on doing just that.

One of the most sensational tragedies in the history of
this community occurred last
Sunday morning when A.J.
(Nan) King was killed by a ball
from a revolver in the hands of
his wife. It appears that the husband and wife were engaged in
a quarrel, the nature of which
is unknown by anyone but Mrs.
King, as they were the only persons in the house at the time.
Numerous stories of the affair
have been circulated, but they
are mere speculation, only Mrs.
King knows and she has made
no statement to anybody.

County Commissioners to
learn if the facility could be
leased by the commissioners
as an adult nursing facility.
The commissioners have been
searching for a solution concerning the care facility since
the Anderson County Hospital
Board announced that the Long
Term Care Unit would close on
May 1. The survey said that the
facility could be licensed as an
adult care home on the condition that a certificate of need
is issued and that the environmental deficiencies cited in the
report are corrected prior to the

Lady Bulldogs swept ACHS winter sports
to open the season award winners announced
RIVERTON – The Anderson
County Bulldogs softball team
made the two hour trip south to
Riverton last Tuesday to take
on a team that has made it to
state the past 3 seasons, winning state in 2016 and 2017.
It was a rough start to a
new era as new head coach
Doug Archer has not only had
to implement his teachings
but also has had to deal with
an unusual year weather wise
that has kept his team practicing indoors instead of getting
valuable experience out on the
softball diamond.
Riverton put the Bulldogs
in an early 4-0 hole after the
second inning as they would go
on to win 6-4.
They scored one run in the
first. A one out error, a passed
ball with two outs and then a
single to center plated the first
run for Riverton.
In the second inning, the
Bulldogs opened with backto-back strikeouts by pitcher Allison Brown before the
wheels fell off.
Brown went on to walk two
straight batters before allowing a single and a double that
would score 3 runs with two
outs.
The Bulldogs were on the
receiving end of a third inning
miscue that plated their first
run. Two ground outs to open
the third before Cali Foltz singled followed by a Brown double to put runners on 2nd and
3rd base.
Holli Miller hit the ensuing ball to the first baseman
who committed an error allowing the Bulldogs to get on the
board, 4-1.
It would stay that way until
the 6th inning when Riverton
would lead off with a homerun and then score another run
that reached via a wild pitch on
a strikeout to make the score
6-1.
Anderson County showed
they werent going down without a fight. After a lead off
ground out in the 7th, three
straight singles loaded the
bases.
The Bulldogs would cut the
lead to 6-2 on a Ashley Lickteig
sacrifice fly.
Ellie Pedrow would then
double to score two more runs
before the rally would end.
The Bulldogs pounded out
11 hits in the opener. Two hits
by Foltz, Brown, Miller and
Pedrow led the way.
Brown pitched all 6 innings,
allowing 8 hits and 5 of the runs
were earned. Brown struck out
17 batters in the game.
The second game didnt go
nearly as well. The Bulldogs
dropped the contest 14-3.
Riverton plated 6 runs in the
AC girls
basketball
to host
fundraiser
The Anderson County Lady
Bulldogs basketball team will
be hosting a dodgeball event
Saturday, May 4th in the
Anderson County High School
gym.
Do you have what it takes?
Grab your sports team, neighborhood kids, band members
or make it a family outing. All
are welcome and it will be a
friendly competition.
A n d e r s o n
County High School
had their annual Winter Sports
Awards ceremony
last Wednesday.
Its a night to
recognize the teams
for their hard work
and dedication as
well as coachs to
give praise to the
deserving athletes
that work so hard
to represent the
Anderson County
Bulldogs.
The big awards on the evening are for the Bulldog of the
Year for each sport.
Winning the Bulldog of
the year for cheerleading was
Samantha Nelson.
Bulldog of the Year for
the dance team was Caitlin
Weirich.
Dominic Sutton won Bulldog
second and then 3 in the fourth
and fifth innings and 2 more in
the sixth. The Bulldogs picked
up two runs in the fourth and
one more in the fifth.
The two runs in the fourth
came after Miller walked to
open the inning followed by a
Pedrow single. Miller would
score following an error and
Pedrow would score off a
Lickteig single.
Miller would score the
Bulldogs run in the fifth inning
as well. She doubled with one
out and would go on to score on
a Pedrow double.
Anderson County would
only muster 6 hits while committing 5 errors in the late
game. Riverton scored 14 runs
on just 10 hits.
Amelia Cubit allowed 8 hits
and 5 earned runs through 4
innings and Lilly Spring closed
out the game pitching the last 1
inning. Spring allowed 5 runs
on 2 hits, but none of them
were earned as the defense let
her down.
Top Dog
of the
Week!
Alison
Brown
of the year for wrestling.
Jenna Schmit, girls basketball, and Justin Rockers, boys
basketball, were Bulldog of the
Year winners for their respective teams.
To close out the night,

Alison Brown reached base 3
out of 4 times, scored one run,
pitched 6 innings and struck
out 17 batters. AC lost 6-4 to
Riverton in their season opener.

AAA: Nearly 100 million Americans will
embark on family vacations this year
From coast to coast, families are gearing up for another
year of exciting travel adventures with their loved ones.
According to a recent AAA
Travel survey, nearly 100 million Americans 4 in 10 U.S.
adults are planning to take a
family vacation in 2019, slightly more than last year. Spring
and summer road trips will top
many of these families vacation plans.
Two-thirds of all family travelers (68 percent) will
embark on a summer getaway,
while just under half (45 percent) are making plans to travel as a family this spring.
Regardless of the season,
the great American road trip
remains a major draw for these
families; about half of traveling
families (53 percent) expect to
pack up their cars for a road
trip this year.
Travelers in the South are
more likely to be making plans
for a family trip this year (62
percent) than travelers in the
Northeast (35 percent).
A welcome gift to road trippers, gas prices have averaged
more than a quarter cheaper
so far in 2019 compared with
the first few months of last
year. Another recent AAA survey found that 33 percent of
Americans would go on at least
one additional summer road
trip if gas prices remain low.
The great American road
trip is still one of the best ways
for families to relax and recon-
nect with one another, said
Stacey Barber, executive director, AAA Travel Information &
Content. This is quickly shaping up to be another busy year
for family travelers, both on
the roadways, as well as other
popular travel destinations
and attractions. To make the
most of their vacations, AAA
recommends families plan and
research as far ahead as possible to avoid missing out on
popular activities and fun.
To help inspire would-be
road trippers, AAAs travel editors have curated more
than 450 pre-planned road
trips, including several drives
through Kansas, available at
AAA.com/RoadTrips. The top
five routes for summer travel according to AAA member
road trip routing data are as
follows:
1. Las Vegas to National
Parks Any road trip through
the desert southwest is full
of unique twists and turns,
regardless of whether you
remain on the interstate or
head off along enticing back
roads. Long the destination
for gold prospectors and other
dreamers, the mountains and
valleys of the Arizona, Nevada
and Utah deserts today provide
a glimpse of mankinds historical interaction with the areas
fantastic natural landscapes.
2. Northern California and
Southern Oregon Coast The
trip begins in Californias
Central Valley, meanders
5×5 Beckman
through high elevation forests and snakes up the awe-inspiring Pacific coast. Not to
be rushed, this extraordinary
route is winding, narrow and
flanked by the ocean and majestic redwood trees. As you make
your way past beach towns and
shifting sand dunes, youll find
constant stops are necessary to
photograph the stunning terrain.
3. Northern New England
Youll travel the backroads
of New England on this trek
through the Berkshires of
Massachusetts and the Green
Mountains of Vermont. Quaint
country inns, steepled churches and weathered barnssome
predating the Revolutionary
Wardot the roadside.
4. Blue Ridge Parkway in
North Carolina If any drive
merited the term scenic, its
the Blue Ridge Parkway. Begun
in 1935 to create a transportation link between Shenandoah
National Park and Great
Smoky Mountains National
Park, it was finally completed
in 1983. This winding road was
designed to maximize enjoyment of the mountainous terrain, so heed the posted speed
limit.
5. Black Hills, South Dakota
This picturesque route winds
through South Dakotas Black
Hills, taking you from one of
Americas best-known landmarks, Mount Rushmore, past
granite spires and into historic mining towns nestled in
valleys thick with Ponderosa
pine. The area packs so much
scenery into a small area that
its become a mecca for motorcyclists and anyone else who
loves the outdoors.
For more destination recommendations, travel tips
and expert advice from AAA
inspectors and travel editors,
visit AAA.com/TravelTips.
AAAs travel experts offer
these top tips for a perfect family road trip:
Be prepared For passengers, pack books, games, or
music for the ride, and a pillow. Bring information on your
destination to keep kids and
other passengers entertained.
Pack healthy snacks for kids,
especially if you cant stop for a
full meal while traveling.
Safety first Drivers should
plan frequent stops, about
every 100 miles or two hours,
to remain alert. Make sure
everyone is restrained by seat
belts or a child safety seat to
prevent injury in case of a sudden stop, swerve or crash. AAA
members who are renting a car
through Hertz can request a
complimentary infant car seat
or toddler booster seat.
Pack your patience Be
prepared for busy roads and
long airport security lines
throughout the summer. If hitting the road during a holiday
weekend, consider leaving earlier or later than the typical
holiday travel times to avoid
heavy traffic. Same goes for air
travel, and be sure to arrive at
the airport at least two hours
before scheduled take-off.
Do your research To make
the most of your trip, map out
your route in advance, using a
tool like AAAs TripTik Travel
Planner. For extra guidance,
seek the advice of a knowledgeable travel agent. And be sure
to download the AAA Mobile
app to find AAA Diamond
Rated hotels and restaurants,
gas prices and fun stops along
the way.
Be road trip ready Take
your vehicle to a trusted repair
facility to perform any needed
maintenance before heading
out on a road trip. In case of
an emergency, always carry
a flashlight, extra batteries,
warning devices such as flares
or reflective triangles, jumper cables, a first-aid kit and
extra water. To locate a AAA
Approved Auto Repair shop
in your area, visit AAA.com/
AutoRepair.
Passengers are one of the
most precious cargo on a trip,
be it 5 or 50 miles down the
road. AAA recommends drivers keep their attention on the
road by pre-programing GPS
devices and adjusting seats and
mirrors before driving. So a
driver can remain focused safely on driving, enlist the help of
passengers and dont use handheld or hands-free cell phones
while driving.

Chapter Y PEO holds January Westphalia PTO to host
& February meetings
Bingo Night April 12
Chapter Y PEO met on January 21,
2019, at Parkview Heights with Sonya
Martin and Jessica Klein as hostesses.
Twenty-one members were present.
The meeting was conducted by
President, Connie Fagg.
Denise Weber was initiated as a
new member. Joyce Malone gave the
program on Founders Day. She gave
a short history of PEO since it is 150
years old this year. There are 225,000
members in the U.S. and Canada.
Joyce talked about each of the seven
founders in an interesting, informative and humorous manner.
Chapter Y, PEO met on February
4, 2019, at the home of Becky Solander
with Diane Doran serving as co-hostess.
The meeting was conducted by president, Connie Fagg. There were 20
members present.
Dues were accepted for the following year. Minutes were read from the
Spring Fling held in Iola last April.
Becky King reported on the DaddyDaughter Dance to be held April 27th
at the Knights Hall. The theme is Rock

design intended to etch service
members names in stone as
apart of the construction. Costs
for the conventional stone project ranged from some $200,000
initially up to $400,000 in recent
years, and was funded by $100
contributions from veterans
or their families for engraved
bricks in a walking plaza, and
later a small tax levy. The fund
now holds in excess of $480,000.
As of February 2018, organizers had collected some 5,000
names to be included in the
memorial.
After numerous delays,
county commissioners pressed
the idea of adapting the kiosk
addition to the plan in order to
avoid issues over stone etchings of erroneously spelled
names and save costs involved
in those etchings.
Electronic kiosks provide
technological
advantages
in presenting their content
because theyre programed digitally with information stored
on operating hard drives and
include redundant backups.
Some kiosks used for veterans memorials include service
honors like medals won or ribbons received, rank, photos
and some can include audio
and video clips.
Heck said the memorial was
presently planned to be located
on the north side of the courthouse on the east side of the
sidewalk entrance facing 4th
Avenue.

extending toward New Strawn
and Burlington.
The project was beset by
weather issues early on when
it began in 2015. Workers had
stripped the old hard surface road in many places but
werent able to replace the
blacktop before big rains hit.
Coughlin contended in earlier arguments over the project
that the road base of 1600 Road
was never meant to handle the
weight and frequency of truck
traffic it now endures since
the East Kansas Agri Energy
Ethanol plant started taking
corn shipments 24 hours a day.
That constant pounding was
part of the problem with this
companys insufficient repair,
Coughlin maintained.
Welsh said core samples
of the roadbed and the repair
conducted by an engineering
company revealed the problem
was due to an improper mix of
concrete in the hard surface
compound used by the company. Coughlin has denied the
veracity of that report.
Anderson County filed a
claim on the companys performance bond in the spring of
2017, after Coughlin attempted to repair the section and
petitioned the county for an
extra $56,000 for the added
work. Problems however
remained with the segment,
and Coughlin denied the claim
when Anderson County called
its performance bond. The
county filed its lawsuit early in
2018.

Fermented foods such as sauerkraut are good for you. Probiotics provide good bacteria for the digestive
system. The informative program was
very interesting to the members.
Chapter Y PEO met on February
18, 2019, at the Library with Michelle
Miller and Becky King as hostesses.
Twenty-one members were present.
Connie Fagg, President conducted the
meeting. She read the annual presidents letter that is sent to the state
president. It highlights the activities
of the year for Chapter Y.
Becky King reported that plans are
underway and decorations ordered for
the Daddy-Daughter Dance on April
27th.
Louann Shmidl gave an update on
the congratulatory notes sent to senior
girls.
The Scholarship Committee will
pick up the applications from the
school, and the membership will vote
on the recipient.
The chapter voted to purchase the
book, We Who Are Sisters in honor of
the 150th anniversary of PEO.
The sign-up sheet was available to
pick committees for the next year.
There was no program.
Refreshments were served by the hostesses, and everyone enjoyed visiting.

Colony Christian
Church news
Larry Wittmer gave the
Communion Meditation on
how some people view Jesus as
a roadside attraction, going out
of their way to check him out
to determine if he is the worlds
greatest teacher or the biggest
fraud. But Jesus changed their
lives; the blind could see, the
soldiers hearts were changed
by watching the crucifixion,
etc. Jesus is not a roadside
attraction, but is THE destination. Pastor Chase Riebel gave
the sermon on Sharing My
Faith (week 20 of the Believe
series). Many times, sharing
our faith includes how we live
and what we say, along with
verbally sharing with others.
We should share our faith
because God commands us to
go out into the nations to make
disciples, and we should share
that faith with passion. Paul
in Acts 20 says that his life is
worth nothing unless he uses it
to finish the work that God sent
him to do. We must remember that others eternal lives
depend on us sharing our faith.
Mens Bible study will be
Tuesday morning at 7:00 am.
Wednesdays at 5:30 pm will
be a meal and prayer time at
the parsonage, with the youth
group at 7:00 pm (kids are
welcome to come hang out at
4:30). Small Groups are held
on Tues/Wed/Thurs evenings
at 7:00 pm. We will start a trial
run for a Sunday evening service beginning Sunday, March

Thompson, a native of
Burlington, said his presentation is based off his years of
study and a hard look at the
scientific irregularities that
pervade the wind industry.
Basically its a fairly comprehensive look at how wind
power is very problematic
from a number of standpoints,
Thompson said. What I speak
about is the inefficiencies of
wind power and how much
more our electrical bills are
each year as a result of the
increasing number of wind
farms going up.
Thompson was a member
of the Kansas City television
media for decades and was
the meteorologist and on-air
weatherman at Fox 4 Kansas
City from 1992 until he retired
in a contract buy-out last
December.
Thompson said federal subsidies to wind farms had hurt
base power plants by driving
down the wholesale price of
electricity when it floods the
grid with unneeded power.
That forces rate increases to
customers because companies
still have to pay for the consistent, base power production we
all rely on.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, March 26, 2019
LOCAL
Santa Fe enthusiast to speak at Historical Society
Banquet April 4 at Anderson County High School
David Calwell, an active
member of the National
Railway Historic Society,
Topeka Chapter, was instrumental in the restoration of the
Welda Santa Fe Depot. He will
speak about his work at the
Anderson County Historical
Society Banquet on April 4th,
at 6:30 p.m. in the commons
area of Anderson County High
School.
The Welda Santa Fe Depot,
built in 1880, served the Welda
community into the 1960s. In
2011, the depot was acquired
after the death of Marvin
Robertson, a rail fan and collector from Lawrence. As part
of his estate, it was donated
to the Great Overland Station
in North Topeka. David was
asked to head up the restoration of the depot and work
to refurbish it to its original
state. The depot was moved to
the Ward/Meade Park in North
Topeka. Currently this is an
on going project and continues as funds permit and period accurate furnishings are
found. He continues to provide
tours of the Pauline depot, the
Great Overland Station and the
Welda depot at the park.
Mr. Calwell was born in
Topeka, KS and grew up in
Wichita, KS, graduating from
East High School. He attended Wichita University before
joining the U.S. Army, being
honorably discharged in 1962.
Davids dad was employed by
the Rock Island Railroad and
later was with the Railroad
Retirement Board.
Since
David came from a railroad
background, he became a
Claim Agent Investigator for
the Eastern Kansas Division
of the Santa Fe Railroad. A
major part of this work was
the investigation of car/train
crossing accidents and dealing
with farmers and ranchers for
the loss of cattle and right of
way fires that damaged crops.
With the merger of Santa Fe
and Burlington Northern railroads, David took early retirement in 1997, after 34 years of
service with the railroad.
After retirement, David
developed several railroad
related hobbies and became a
member of North American
Railcar Operators Association.
He operated motor cars on
many short line railroads as a
member of this organization.
Thirty-five years ago, David
was approached to find a depot
that could be moved to Ward/
Meade Park in Topeka. The
Pauline depot was moved to
the park and David headed
up the full restoration of this
building. He has volunteered
at the park for the last 35 years.
Tickets for the ACHS
Banquet are available from
board
members

Kellstadt, Richard Miller, Ruth
Lee Hastert, Terry Solander,
Kristie Kinney, Zella Teter,
Ivan Mader, Paul Phares, and

Be a lifesaver: Give blood with the HEALTH…
Red Cross locally March 26 & 27
Eligible blood donors of all
blood types especially type
O are urged to give blood
through the American Red
Cross now to help ensure a
sufficient supply for hospital
patients this spring.
By giving blood, donors may
be helping someone like 5-yearold Emery Twehues, who was
diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia last spring.
During her intense cancer
treatments, Emery has needed both blood and platelets.
Cancers, such as leukemia and
lymphoma, and certain types
of chemotherapy drugs and
radiation can damage the bone
marrow, where red blood cells
and platelets are produced.
Emery would not be able
to recover from chemotherapy without lifesaving transfusions, said her mom, Morgan
Twehues. Every time they
hang a bag of platelets or blood
up on her IV pole, I wish whoever donated that could see
who its going to. There would
be no chance for her to live,
taking that chemotherapy, if
it werent for the blood products.
In order to meet the needs
of patients like Emery, the Red
Cross must collect about 13,000
blood and more than 2,500
platelet donations every day.
Make an appointment to
help save lives now by downloading the free Red Cross
Blood Donor App, visiting
RedCrossBlood.org or calling
1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-7332767).
Blood can be given today,
March 26, in Colony from 12
p.m. – 7 p.m. at the Crest High
School located at 603 E. Broad
and tomorrow, March 27, in
Garnett from 8:30 a.m. – 2:30
p.m. at the Anderson County
High School located at 1100 W.

Many impacts on commodities still with
pricing opportunities for grains and beef
By Frank J. Buchman
Just shoot up here amongst
us, one of us has to have some
relief.
Seemingly an odd title for a
Farm Profit Seminar presentation, yet several in the crowd
recognized the quote.
Its from country comedian
Jerry Clowers recording of a
raccoon hunting tale.
Darrell Holaday of Country
Futures at Frankfort memorized the line from frequent listening as a farm boy.
Semblance of todays agriculture producers seeking
reprieve from all of the industrys pressures any way it can
be found.
In his energetic yet straightforward honest always entertaining manner, Holaday analyzed those dilemmas at the
meeting in Baldwin City.
The viral comedy video nut
milking brought smiles making obvious how consumers
are easily misled. Plant-based
beverages called milk burden
dairy industry merchandizing,
the speaker inferred.
No
prejudicial
opinion, Holaday posted a slide
of President Trump, Vice
President Pence and House
Speaker Peosli noting leadership incompatibility. It is a
real problem, he said emphatically.
The United States has major
exports to China yet there is
a huge trade deficit with the
communist country.
China has not lived up to
their commitments of trade
since joining the World Trade
Organization in 2001, Holaday
emphasized. China was supposed to reduce tariffs, but
thats not been the case.
World
competition
is
increasing in grain and protein
production. South America
has really gained market share
with China, Holaday said.
World supplies of all proteins
are increasing.
Faced with African Swine
Fever, Chinese consumers are
reducing pork consumption.
That will reduce Chinas need
for soymeal, Holaday said.
Beef consumption in China
is expected to increase with
imports from South America.
The United States will eventually get some Chinese beef
business, Holaday predicted.
The number of births in
China last year hit its lowest
level since 1961. With 1.395 billion people, food consumption
still will be lower, although
the one child policy is being
relaxed. Population trends will
again move upward.
Concerning soybean prices,
the speaker said, The $10 soybeans long term were not realistic. Too much profit is creating too much world production.
It would have been worse if
Argentina had not suffered a
drought last year.
With farmers highly concerned about trade talks,
Holaday said, If there is settlement of the trade issue, U.S.
soybean values would increase
and Brazilian values would
tank.
The longer it goes before
settlement, the net result for
improving U.S. values decreases, he added. If China does
not increase their total soybean purchases, then world
prices will decrease.
Looking to soybean plantings this year, Holaday said, I
do not expect a big decrease in
U.S. soybean acreage. However,
a significant number of winter
wheat acres could end up in
soybeans.
With the president indicating there will be no Market
Facilitation Payment (MFP),
Holaday see no significant
increase in exports. The world
soybean market has too much
inventory, he evaluated. I
still anticipate a very good
chance of new lows before the
end of the crop year.
Use any price rallies as
selling opportunities for soybeans, Holaday urged farmers.
Turning to the corn picture,
Holaday said, It has a short
story to tell, related to exports.
While corn is off to a great start
due to Argentina production
decreases last year, that business is front loaded.
There is strong domestic
demand due to record hog,
cattle and poultry numbers,
but ethanol margins have collapsed, Holiday evaluated.
Near term upside in corn,
the economist said, is $3.95,
with a narrow trading range
not below $3.70. On-farm corn
in Kansas should continue to
be valued in terms of basis
improvement, he said. A battle for acreage should favor a
corn rally this spring.
Hugh supplies of wheat
nationwide point to lower
exports, stifled prices and
reduced national acreage, the
economist quickly summarized.
While inclement weather has
eliminated market premiums,
high quality has kept domestic and export demand for beef
high, Holaday critiqued.
Beef producers have such
a great product that demand
has remained strong, he said.
With a 2-3 percent production
increase, prices are still above
a year ago.
Some of that is due to reduced
pork demand, especially for
loins, which have decreased in
quality.
While beef demand is quite
a story, supply can still overwhelm demand, Holaday recognized. Strength of the U.S.
economy is critical to beef
prices. The current rally offers
some pricing opportunities.
Noting that winter weather
has reduced beef consumption,
it has also trimmed cattle numbers and weights.
Consumption will get better, but supplies will surge in
the summer and through the
fall, he predicted.
Use the weather market
strength to get price protection
for summer and fall, Holaday
advised.

Ag Focus
An Annual Publication By
Tuesday, March 26, 2019
2 AG FOCUS
Special to The Anderson County Review – March 26, 2019
Creation of the Commercial Industrial Hemp Program
TOPEKA A Kansas law last year that
authorized a research program investigating the farming of industrial hemp
would be thrown out and replaced by a
new law authorizing the plants commercial production, if a bill recently passed
by the House Committee on Agriculture
becomes law later in the legialtive session.
The bill would establish a program for
the management of industrial hemp production statewide, establish permit fees
and set up penalties for violaters.
Industrial hemp is a cousin of the marijuana plant, except it contains legal levels
of the psychoactive drug THC, and was
removed from the U.S. Governments list
of illegal narcotics a few years ago.
Following is the version of the present
bill as recently amended and passed by
the committee on March 19.
HB 2173, as further amended, would
require the Kansas Department of
Agriculture (KDA), in consultation with
the Governor and Attorney General, to
submit a plan to the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) regarding how the
KDA will monitor and regulate the commercial production of industrial hemp
within the state, in accordance with federal law. In addition, the bill would establish the Commercial Industrial Hemp
Program, make changes to the Industrial
Hemp Research Program, create the
Industrial Hemp Regulatory Commission,
create the Hemp Processor License, establish prohibitions on specific products,
establish sentencing guidelines, and
establish waste disposal requirements.
Legislative Intent (New Sec. 1)
The bill would declare it is the intent of
the Legislature that KDAs implementation of the Commercial Industrial Hemp
Act (Act) will be conducted in the least
restrictive manner allowed under federal
law.
Commercial Plan Requirements
(New Sec. 2(a)-(b))
The bill would require the KDA, in
consultation with the Attorney General
and the Governor, to submit a plan to
the USDA under which the KDA would
monitor and regulate the commercial production of industrial hemp within Kansas
in accordance with federal law and any
adopted rules and regulations. The plan
would be required to include the following:
A procedure to maintain relevant
information regarding land on which
industrial hemp is produced, including a
legal description of the land, for a period
of no less than three calendar years;
A procedure for testing the delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration
levels of industrial hemp produced by
using postdecarboxylation or other similarly reliable methods;
A procedure for the effective disposal
of industrial hemp and hemp products
found to be in violation of the Act;
Any licensing requirements or other
rules and regulations the KDA deems
necessary for the proper monitoring and
regulation of industrial hemp cultivation
and production for commercial purposes,
including, but not limited to, license fees,
license renewals, and other necessary
expenses to defray the cost of implementing and operating the plan on an ongoing
basis;
A procedure for creating documen-
tation
that
all
persons
in possession
of industrial
hemp before
being
processed may
use to prove
to law enforcement officers
the industrial
hemp was lawfully grown
under this section of the bill;
A procedure
for
conducting
annual inspections of, at a
minimum, a
random sample of hemp
producers to
verify hemp is
not produced

checks.
Rules and Regulations (Sec. 8(e))
The bill would require rules and regulations promulgated by the KDA to include,
but not be limited to, a requirement that
all license holders always have a current license in their possession if they
are engaged in activities allowed under
the provisions relating to the Industrial
Hemp Research Program.
The bill would also prohibit the KDA
from promulgating rules and regulations
concerning the recording of license plates.
Discontinuing the Program

effective disposal, hemp producer,
hemp processor, person, and authorized seed or clone plants;
Delete the definitions of certified
seed and department; and
Amend the existing definitions of
hemp products and industrial hemp.
Crimes and Controlled Substances
Exceptions (Sec. 12(aa), Sec. 13(h)(1))
The bill would include industrial
hemp as an exception to the definition
of marijuana in the current definition
sections of crimes involving controlled
substances.
The bill would also exclude from the
schedule I controlled substances list any
THC in:
Industrial hemp, as defined by the
Act;
Solid waste and hazardous waste,
as defined in continuing law, that is the
result of the cultivation, production, or
processing of industrial hemp, as defined
in the Act, and the waste contains a THC
concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis; or
Hemp products as defined in the Act,
unless otherwise considered unlawful.
Industrial Hemp
Regulatory Commission
The bill would create the Industrial
Hemp
Regulatory
Commission
(Commission) within the Kansas
Department of Revenue (KDOR).
Administration (New Sec. 4(a))
The Commission would be administered by the Director of the Commission
(Director), who would be appointed by
and serve at the pleasure of the Secretary
of Revenue. The Director would be in the
unclassified service and would receive an
annual salary fixed by the Secretary of
Revenue and approved by the Governor.
The Director would be responsible for all
powers, duties, and functions assigned to
KDOR under the Act.
In addition, the bill would require
the Commission to adopt rules and regulations as necessary to implement and
administer the provisions of the Act relating to the licensing and regulation of
hemp processor. The bill would allow the
Commission to advise and consult with
the Kansas Department of Health and
Environment (KDHE) and KDA on the
rules and regulations.
The bill would apply the provisions
of this section and rules and regulations
promulgated by the Commission to any
individual licensed by the KDA to process, manufacture, produce, or distribute industrial hemp under the Industrial
Hemp Research Program, except the individual would not be subject to license
application or renewal fees established by
the Commission.
Electronic Database (New Sec. 4(b))
The bill would require the Commission
to establish an electronic database to
store information regarding each license
issued to a hemp processor; each individual working as an employee, agent, or
unpaid worker of a hemp processor; and
other information deemed necessary or
appropriate by the Director. In addition,
information in the database would be
shared with law enforcement in a manner
prescribed by the KBI for the purpose of
verifying the validity of any identification
card or license issued or the location of
any operations authorized by the Act.
Hemp Processor License
Hemp Processor Application
Requirements (New Sec. 4(c))
The bill would allow a person to apply
to the Commission for initial or renewed
licensure as a hemp processor in a manner prescribed by the Commission and
accompanied by a fee not to exceed $5,000.
An applicant would be required to submit
information and documentation for the
licensure, as specified in the bill. Under
the bill, the hemp processor license would
authorize the licensee to process industrial hemp into hemp products and to
perform other acts deemed necessary and
incidental to by the Commission, as established in rules and regulations adopted by
the Commission. (New Sec. 4(c)(1))
The bill would prohibit a person not
in current compliance with any Kansas
tax law administered by the Director of
Taxation, KDOR; tax, fee, or payment
administered by the Department of Labor;
or any charge administered by any other
state agency, from having an ownership
interest in a hemp processor. (New Sec.
4(c)(2))
An applicant would be required to provide information and documentation on
an application for licensure as a hemp
processor, as specified in the bill. (New
Sec. 4(c)(3))
Within 60 calendar days of receiving
any hemp processor application, the
Commission would be required to issue a
decision to grant or deny licensure to the
applicant. If the Commission denies licensure to a hemp processor, the bill would
require the Commission to refund half of
the applicants application or renewal fee.
(New Sec. 4(c)(5)-(6))
Fingerprinting and Background
Checks (New Sec. 4(c)(4))
The bill would mandate the
Commission to require all individuals
working as employees, agents, or unpaid
workers of a hemp processor to be fingerprinted and submit to a state and national
criminal history background check. The
Commission would be authorized to submit the fingerprints to the KBI and FBI for
the background checks.
The Commission would be allowed to
use the information obtained from fingerprinting and the background checks for
verifying the identification of the individual and for making a determination of
the qualifications for initial or continuing
licensing as a hemp processor. Disclosure
or use of any information received by
the Commission for any purpose other
than provided for in the Act would be a
class A misdemeanor and would constitute grounds for removal from office or
termination of employment.
The bill would disqualify an individual
who has been convicted of a controlled
substances felony violation or a substantially similar offense in another jurisdiction within the preceding ten years from
initial or continuing licensure as a hemp
processor.
The KBI would be authorized to charge
a reasonable fee for the background check
and the individual seeking a license or
license renewal as a hemp processor
would be required to pay the costs of
fingerprinting and the state and national
background checks.
Hemp Processor License
(New Sec. 4(c))
Under the bill, a hemp processor license
would be effective for a two-year period.
If the Commission grants licensure, the
Commission would require the applicant
or licensee to:
Pay a licensure fee not exceeding
$5,000; and
Provide satisfactory evidence the
hemp processor has obtained a surety bond in an amount required by the
Commission based on the size and actual
and projected yield of the hemp processor
operations, the number of facilities operated by the hemp processor, and other
factors established by the Commission
through rules and regulations.
The Commission would be required to
remit all moneys from any fees to the
State Treasurer, who would deposit the
amount into the State Treasury to the
credit of the Commercial Industrial Hemp
Processor Fund (Processor Fund). (New
Sec. 4(c)(7))
Documentation (New Sec. 4(c)(8))
The bill would mandate the
Commission to require all individuals
working as employees, agents, or unpaid
workers of a hemp processor to have
documentation in their possession at all
times they are engaged in the processing,
manufacturing, or distribution of industrial hemp or hemp products that would
prove to any law enforcement officer the
individual is authorized to engage in such
activities.
The bill would require all actions by
the Commission be in accordance with
the Kansas Administrative Procedure Act
and reviewable in accordance with the
Kansas Judicial Review Act.
Violations (New Sec. 4(d))
The bill would make it unlawful for a
person to process, manufacture, or distribute industrial hemp or hemp products
in violation of this section. The bill would
state:
Upon first conviction for violation of
the section, a person would be guilty of a
class A nonperson misdemeanor and sentenced to not more than one year confinement and fined between $1,000 to $2,500;
Upon second conviction, a person
would be guilty of a severity level 9, non-
person felony and fined a sum between
$10,000 to $100,000 and sentenced according to continuing law; and

Background
The bill was introduced by the House
Committee on Agriculture upon the
request of the Chief Legal Counsel of the
KDA.
At the House Committee hearing on
February 13, 2019, proponent testimony
was provided by the Chief Legal Counsel
of the KDA and representatives of the
Kansas Sierra Club and KMC Brands.
Written-only proponent testimony was
provided by a representative of the
Kansas Farm Bureau. No opponent or
neutral testimony was provided.
Staff of the Office of the Revisor
of Statutes explained to the House
Committee the bill would repeal KSA
21-5701a, 65-4101c, and 65-4105b, which
were created after the 2018 Legislative
Session. The three statutes are duplicate versions of KSA 21-5701, 65-4101, and
65-4105, as conflicting amendments to the
statutes could not be reconciled. The bill
would make the necessary adjustments to
allow for repealing the duplicate versions.
The House Committee amended the bill
by:
Renaming the Alternative Crop Act
Licensing Fee Fund to the Commercial
Industrial Hemp Act Licensing Fee Fund
and the Alternative Crop Act to the
Commercial Industrial Hemp Act (Act);
Adding the Legislatures intent that
the KDA implement the Act in the least
restrictive manner allowed under federal
law;
Requiring the KDA to submit a plan
to monitor and regulate the commercial
production of industrial hemp;
Requiring the KDA to include in the
plan submitted to the USDA a procedure
for creating documentation a hemp producer could use to prove the hemp producer is engaged in commercial industrial
hemp production;
Adding a cap of $50 on any modification fee established by the KDA for a
change to a license previously issued by
the KDA;
Requiring the Secretary of Agriculture
to continue to accept applications for the
Industrial Hemp Research Program from
March 1, 2019, to June 1, 2019;
Removing the definition for department;
Amending the definition of industrial hemp;
Adding a definition of commercial,

Hemp a potential gold rush for Kansas farmers but questions linger
By Carrie Rengers / Wichita Eagle
As changes are about to take effect with
state and federal laws regarding industrial hemp, most people involved agree that
there are more questions than answers so
far.
But thats hardly keeping farmers, processors and distributors from jumping in.
This is like the new gold rush, said
Russell County wheat farmer Marty
Radke.
He first learned about industrial hemp
which is different than marijuana but
part of the same cannabis family when
he sold combines to Colorado farmers
who were growing it.
Read more here: https://www.kansas.
com/news/business/biz-columns-blogs/
carrie-rengers/article223051050.html#storylink=cpy
Radke said one of those farmers spent
about $14,000 per acre to grow hemp that
yielded about $115,000 per acre in CBD oil,
a cannabis compound that some people
think has medicinal qualities
Thats why its such a sought-after
thing.
He said there are a lot of concerns,
though, including over-regulation,
expense and accidental production of
hemp with higher levels of THC or
tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive
part of cannabis than the legal limit of
0.3 percent.
Things can go wrong real fast.
Congress finalized the 2018 farm bill
this month, and President Trump is
expected to sign it. The bill declassifies
hemp as a controlled substance.
It has a lot of major ramifications for
the industry, said Erica Stark, executive
director of the National Hemp Association
in Washington, D.C.
For instance, she said, It will allow for
legal banking.
The nonprofit does not physically do
anything with hemp, but Stark said, We
had our bank account shut down just
because we had the word hemp in our
name.
She said thats the level of insanity we
were looking at.
The bill also will allow for crop insurance. It will allow for all types of federal
grants. . . . And it will also allow for full
commercial activity without the research
component.
Until now, 40 states have allowed industrial hemp production through research
programs.
In April, Gov. Jeff Colyer signed a
bill to allow research-based production of
industrial hemp in Kansas.
On Jan. 9, there will be a final public hearing at the Kansas Department of
Agriculture in Manhattan to discuss proposed regulations for the research, which
will begin in time for the spring growing
season.
Were starting from zero with a brand
new program, said Heather Lansdowne,
the departments communications director.
Its important to keep in mind that
this is a research program, and thats
why there are so many questions. . . . The
function of research is to answer those
questions.
Even though the program is a research
project, its also a commercial venture for
those who participate in that they can use
any legal, commercially viable options to
process and distribute the hemp.
Stark said the new federal law wont
automatically change hemp regulations at
the state level. That happens only through
legislation.
I dont think were going to see the full
benefit of the passage of this until 2020.
Lansdowne said passage of the farm bill
means states wont have to have research
programs for hemp production.
We are already working on what kind
of state legislation will be necessary . . .
now with a change in the farm bill, she
said.
It wont affect what we have in place.
. . . It presents the possibility of change in
the future.
Excruciating pain
Rick Gash grew up on a farm but never
intended to be a farmer. Then last year, he
had a head-on collision.
It just about killed me.
Three months later, he was still on
Oxycodone for a shattered femur and
excruciating bone pain.
His wife searched for something natural to help alleviate his pain.
CBD took that away, Gash said. We
came to the decision to grow it ourselves.
Theyre going to use 69 acres of their
Augusta property to grow hemp, and
theyre going to build a processing facility
as well.
Gash, who also is in sales for a custom
compounding pharmacy, has started the
Hemp Development Group to help himself
and others navigate the states research
program and the hemp industry.
Theres a need for leadership and
organization of this . . . at a local level,
he said. There is a lot of unknown in the
industry. . . . That farm bill will change a
lot of things.
The Hemp Development group meets
at 7 p.m. every Thursday in room 2-H of
St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in
Andover.
Dana Ladner, the state Department of
Agricultures compliance education coordinator, is speaking to the group on Jan.
31 to discuss regulations.
Were following the leads of other
states that have gone before us.
She and Lansdowne say potential
licensees need to do their homework.
Anyone can still apply, Lansdowne
said.
However, she said if someone wants a
license for this spring and is just starting
to look into it, Its going to be really hard
for them. . . . Most people have been spending a lot of time already working on it.
There were 75 pre-applications for
licenses by a Dec. 1 deadline.
That was just an informal process
where people could get some early feedback, Lansdowne said.
The Jan. 9 meeting is the final step
before the official application process
begins.
Lansdowne said applications could
take up to a month to process.
It depends on how many applications
we get.
Application fees are $200. Licenses
for growing, distributing and processing range from $1,000 to $6,000 annually.
There are other fees associated with hemp
production as well, such as a $45-per-hour
sampling fee, a $250 laboratory testing fee
and a $47 fingerprint-based background
check through the Kansas Bureau of
Investigation.
Everyone who is going to come into
contact with a licensees hemp production must have a background check and
be included on the license. Each time a
licensee hires someone new who will be
working in any capacity with the hemp,
theres a $750 license modification fee.
Its not chump change, said Mike
Reed, who has a southeast Wichita farm
and applied for a pre-application.
Its more of an investigative stage
right now, but we feel like were foolish if
we dont investigate it, Reed said.
He wants hemp as a rotational crop.
Theres supposed to be benefits to the
soil.
Also, Reed said, hemp doesnt require
pesticides or a lot of water.
Thats the main reason were looking
at it.
He called the regulations, licensing and
background checks bothersome when
other crops dont require them. Reed said
its not as if farmers are going to be growing marijuana.
It is a different strain of the plant.
He and others describe marijuana and
hemp in terms of wolves and dogs. Theyre
both members of the canine family, but
theyre two different breeds.
Reed said there are issues surrounding
hemp production that the Department of
Agriculture isnt answering.
You cant just take this to a normal
elevator, he said. None of that infrastructure is in place right now. . . . In my
opinion, they may have gotten the cart
before the horse a little bit.
He said he doesnt know how hemp can
be sold as a wholesale product or if it can
cross state lines with the new federal law.
Lansdowne said the departments
jurisdiction extends only to the industrial
hemp plant parts and whatever products
are produced would be regulated by the
industries that cover them.
Limitless potential
Stark, with the National Hemp
Association, said there are 25,000 products that can be made from hemp.
It kind of sounds like thats a gross
exaggeration, but its not.
Others call the potential limitless.
Stark said the seed is used for nutritional products because it is heart-healthy
and has a high protein content.
Fiber products made from hemp
include things as diverse as traditional
2×4 Yutzy
textiles, car parts, bioplastics and biofuel.
You can actually build an entire structure with it, Stark said.
She said hemp can conduct electricity
and create new technologies.
Then, of course, theres the CBD
extract, which Stark said is the dominant portion of the industry now.
She said hemp also can make existing
products stronger or more sustainable.
In 2017, Stark said there were about
25,000 acres of hemp production nationally. In 2018, the total will reach about 50,000
acres. The acreage is set to exponentially
expand.
Overall, our policy is supportive of
industrial hemp, said Mark Nelson,
director of commodities for the Kansas
Farm Bureau.
He calls some of the fees related to the
program a necessary evil.
I understand the frustration with
some of the fees and things like that,
Nelson said. The program needed to pay
for itself.
While there could be great potential
with hemp, Nelson said he believes that
theres no guarantee.
Theres more that we dont know than
we do know, he said. I sure think that
people need to go at this cautiously.
Radke, the Russell County farmer,
thinks about the risks, such as successfully growing a crop of hemp only to discover
the THC level is accidentally too high. It
could cost thousands if not more.
Something like this could have such a
negative effect . . . if things go wrong.
To him, hemp farming shouldnt be
considered different than other farming.
I mean, you put a seed in the ground,
and you do all the same techniques. . . .
The end result is still the same. You want
to sprout the seed and make the most use
out of the plant. . . . You want to get the
highest yield.
The difference, he said, is it may be a
bit over-regulated, especially, I guess, if
you have nothing to hide.
Even so, Radke said hes still interested.
Its kind of like going to the casino and
gambling, he said. Theres a big return
at the end if it all goes right.

Tough winter leads to challenging spring for states cattlemen
Kansas cattle producers are coming off
what one Kansas State University official
calls one of the roughest winters in
recent memory, adding that the situation
has created the need for extra attention
this spring.
Justin Waggoner, a beef systems
specialist with K-State Research and
Extensions Southwest Area Extension
office in Garden City, said abundant moisture early in the winter and bitter cold
late was tough on cows and their calves.
One of the reports were hearing a lot
of people talk about is that our cows are
a little thinner than we typically would
be coming into calving, Waggoner said.
A lot of that we can attribute to mud and
cold temperatures; both of those increase
the energy requirements of the cows.
Waggoner notes that it takes extra
energy for cows to get up from muddy
pens to move to the feed bunk. Cold
basically has the same effect, he said.
When those temperatures drop below
18 degrees, we can see a pretty dramatic
increase in energy requirements.
If we didnt make adjustments for that
in our supplementation or feeding program throughout the winter, we tend to
draw body condition reserves off the cow.
That kind of explains the situation we are
in. We are seeing some cows where their
condition might be lacking right now.
Waggoner said the best strategy for
moving forward is to maintain whatever
condition the cow is in right now, rather
than to let her slip further. He is working
with producers to help them understand
their herds energy requirements and
what their current feeding strategy is
providing.
We need to pay attention to both the
protein and the energy need, Waggoner
said. A lot of times we
do a good job of covering our protein need;
thats really what most
of our supplementation
protocols are geared
toward. But we dont
always do a good job
thinking about energy.
He suggests providing high quality hay, if
available, as well as concentrated forms of protein and energy, such as
corn blends, dried distillers grains or a commercial range cube.
We need to be looking for supplements
that are going to provide energy in the form
of a high fiber source,
Waggoner said. If that
isnt necessarily an
option, we can go to concentrates like corn, or
even some by-products can work well in
that situation.
He is encouraging producers to provide
dry areas for cows, which may require
using a box blade to clean up wet areas.
We really start to see a performance
impact in the feedlot when cattle dont
have a dry place to lie down, Waggoner
said. The same thing is true of cow-calf
type systems. There are immense benefits
to creating a dry place, either by spreading cattle out or giving them access to a
new area where they have a dry place to
get out of the mud.
For more information or help in managing the cow herd, producers are encouraged to contact their local extension agent.

Drier period increases chances of wildfires
A Kansas Forest Service official is urging caution for homeowners and landowners as the state nears a point in the year
that is typically high-risk for wildfires.
Jason Hartman, the assistant fire management officer with KFS, said that the
states abundant rains last fall were good
for the growth of grasses and other vegetation. But as the state moves into a drier
part of the year, those same plants become
potential fuel for fires.
Weve had that scenario play out for
several years now where pretty good
growing season rains lead to a lot of
potential fuel during the dormant season, Hartman said. We had that once
again this year coming into what is our
traditional fire season time.
Recent snow and rain in parts of Kansas
is helping to keep the risk low currently,
but Hartman notes that it can take as little
as two or three days for wetter areas to
dry, and once it dries, it can burn just
like anything else.
In urban and rural areas, homeowners
should look right outside their front door
for ways to protect their property from
potential fires.
Check your home right where the
foundation walls meet the landscape,
Hartman said. Make sure that is a
2×4
AD
well-maintained area, and that there is
not a lot of loose material such as leaves,
litter, loose grasses and loose gardening
debris that can be a receptor for a wind
blown ember.
When youre getting out for a good
basic spring cleaning, think of all the
things that can receive an ember, even up
above the ground level, such as gutters
and valleys in the roof. Clean the leaves
from those areas.
Hartman said homeowners also should
move wood piles from a back door or patio
to a safer spot at least 30 feet away from
the home. If possible, keep grassed areas a
minimum 5 feet away from the foundation
of the home.
In terms of keeping distance of landscapes from the home, always go for as
much as youre comfortable doing while
still maintaining the aesthetic look of
your home. Thats what is best for fire
safety, Hartman said.
He also urged caution for those who
weld, or use grinders or torches. If possible, avoid that work on days when there
are high winds or low humidity.
