Snow x 2 =
More school
USD 365 plans to
add days at end
of school year
BY VICKIE MOSS THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Some say
everything comes with
a cost. For area school
children who enjoyed an
unexpected five days off
school because of late
February snow storms,
the price likely will be a
longer school year.
School boards in USD
365 and USD 479 will have
to decide how to make up
four or five snow days, all
occurring within a twoweek period thanks to
two separate snow storms
that dumped a total of
16.9 inches on Anderson
County between Feb. 20
and Feb. 27.
USD 365 board members will meet at 7 p.m.
Thursday, March 7, at
Anderson County High
School, to decide how to
make up two days. Even
though classes were called
off for five days, the district typically has a couple
of extra days built in to
the calendar to cover such
situations. But five days
exceeds the extra padding,
and students must make
up at least two days. If
school is called off again,
those days will be added
as well.
Superintendent Don
Blome is expected to ask
the board to make up the
extra days at the end of
the school year. The district typically has some
options, like using holidays, but because of its
labor contract agreement
with teachers, the district
cannot use spring break
and Good Friday as make
up days. The most logical
option is extending the end
of the school year, Blome
said. That would mean
the last day of school is
May 24, rather than the
originally
scheduled
May 22. Teachers would
check out on Tuesday,
May 28. The district typically ends its school year
before Memorial Day, and
the new plan still ends
the school year for stu-
of rain, almost an inch more
than normal. In a typical year,
the area receives 1.21 inches
of precipitation in January.
February also exceeded its
typical precipitation levels by
more than an inch, with a total
of 3.07 inches of precipitation
compared to an average of 1.85.
Most of the wet stuff came at
the end of February, when two
snowstorms between Feb. 20
and Feb. 27 dropped 16.9 inches
of snow. Even though it looked
like a lot of snow, the precipitation level translates to just 2.07
inches.
The area was 11.20 inches
below normal at the end of
2012. Even with higher precipitation levels in January and
February, the county remains
9.03 inches below normal. The
entire state remains in extreme
or exceptional drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Efforts to bring a
certified welding program to
Garnett likely will get tentative
USD 365 board members
are expected to give tentative
approval to a plan to bring a
welding program to Garnett
through the Neosho County
Community College. The pro-
gram would begin next fall and
would be open to high school
juniors and seniors, so that by
graduation the student would
be fully certified. It would meet
qualifications for a 2012 law that
provides free tuition to Kansas
high school students who take
technical education courses.
The agreement calls for USD
365 to provide facilities, and
NCCC would administer the
program. The program could
be expanded to include a construction trades program, in
addition to welding, by the second semester or following fall
semester.
Some of the details of the
program continue to be worked

Teachers, however, could return
after the holiday on a flex day
unless they have work completed and checked out.
Officials with USD 479, the
Crest district in the southern
part of the county, havent yet
decided how to handle their
snow days. Students missed four
days because of snow. The Crest
calendar this year included three
days that were scheduled as days
off but could be used as make-up
days. One of those opportunities
(a day off for Presidents Day)
already has passed. That means
Crest students likely will need
to add a couple of days to the
school year at some point, but
officials have not yet discussed
its snow days.
The Crest board will have its
next meeting at 7 p.m. March 11

out, but board members are
expected to consider a memorandum of understanding to
develop a framework for getting
the program off the ground.
The welding program would
be housed in the Sam Harris
Vocational Building at 315 N.
Walnut St., located behind the
Ray Meyer Gym. The building
currently is used for maintenance, food service and technology. The district will need
to move the maintenance and
food service warehouse, with
some potential costs. The food
service warehouse likely would
move to the high school, while a
car shed on the grounds could
be converted to a maintenance
building. Staff offices and the
technology department could
be moved to the Ray Meyer gym,
which also houses the district
office.
Efforts to bring a vo-ag program to USD 365 began spring,
after the Kansas legislature
approved a law providing free
tuition for career and technical
education (also known as CTE).
The state would provide free

with cancer.
Jerry was

23, 1965 at
Minneola,
Kansas, the

Webb
Webb
and
Virginia Lee
(Dean) Webb.
The family lived in Engelwood,
Kansas until moving to Burlingame,
Kansas in 1966. In 1978 they moved

Jerry was a generous person
and liked to help others. He vol-
unteered in Greensburg, Kansas
following the tornado; he also provided transportation for several of
the local Amish. He was member
of the Garnett Jaycees and was a
past president. He enjoyed attending NASCAR races.

In all, about 60 homes are
expected to benefit from the
project, with a projected value
of about $81,000 in labor hours.
The volunteers will stay in
Anderson County, providing
economic benefit to the area.
Local organizers have spent
much of the past year collecting
donations for the camp. Now,
its time to find area residents
who need help. People who are
elderly, handicapped or have
some other need will be given
priority.
There comes a point for
some where homes get beyond
our ability to care for them as
physically or financially, some
hardships make it near impossible to handle. Our desire and
mission is to meet this need
in our community, organizer
Chris Goetz, with the First
Christian Church of Garnett,
said in a press release.
The project is a positive way
to improve lives and homes,
Goetz said. Not only will it
benefit the community, it will
touch the lives of the volunteers
who will stay in Garnett for one
week this summer, he said.

FROM PAGE 1A
The outlook for March is equal
chances that precipitation will
either be above or below normal, although temperatures
are expected to be cooler than
normal.
Even though the snowstorms
dumped much-needed precipitation on the area, the storms did
not come without some problems. The thick, heavy snow
from the second storm wreaked
havoc on trees and power
lines, bringing down branches
across the region. Numerous
power outages were reported.
At one point, KCP&L reported
7,200 customers in the region
were without power, and Lyon
Coffey Electric reported about
1,000 outages with about 800
customers without power from
the Welda substation from the
Feb. 26 storm. The Welda substation was shut down because
of low voltage on KCP&Ls
side, a report from Lyon Coffey
Electric said. Some Welda customers remained without power
through Friday.
The City of Garnett also had
some power outages because of
problems with KCP&L. The connection point at the Centerville
substation went down during
both snow storms. The longest
outage, a couple of hours early
Thursday morning, prompted
the city to start up its own electrical engines. The last engine
was just going online when
KCP&L was able to get power
restored, city manager Joyce
Martin said.
Martin said she is working
on a report that will include
cost estimates related to the
snowstorms and cleanup, but it
was not ready by The Reviews
presstime Monday. Martin said
runoff from the melting snow
has been very helpful for the
citys water supplies, which had
been down because of drought.
The National Weather Service
calls for warmer temperatures
this week with rain by the weekend. Temperatures today are
expected to reach a high of 39,
although it will be a very windy
day. Wednesday, temperatures
will warm to about 43 and up to
53 on Thursday. By Friday, temperatures could reach about 59,
with a 30 percent chance of rain
Friday night. Showers are likely
Saturday and Sunday, with high
temperatures in the mid-50s.

New hospital will preserve
local economy, health care at
bargain basement price
Its hard to find a good reason to
vote against a new Anderson County
Hospital, but lets analyze the reasons
for voting no.
High taxes: The cost to taxpayers of
the county is a little over 5 mills. Apply
it to your present property value to
figure out what it will cost you. When
you consider that
St. Lukes lease
EDITORIAL
payments over
the term of the
bonds will pay
70 percent of the
bond and interest costs, your
out-of-pocket cost
for the new $25
million facility is
an awesome deal.
Pity we cant buy
homes, cars or
by Dane Hicks,
college educaPUBLISHER
tions for our kids
and have somebody else pay 70 percent
of the tab.
The $3.8 million renovation of 1999:
True, the county still owes over $3 million (after the refinance of those bonds
in 2005 which built the new ambulance
facility) for the ACH faade renovation
more than a decade ago. Its a shame
to tear down the 14 year-old exterior.
Still, the fact that St. Lukes will pay for
70 percent of the new facility trumps
money lost in the 1999 renovation.
Radiology and other new equipment
from past projects and upgrades will be
loaded out the back door right into the
new facility.
We can just fix what weve got: A
Plan B exists, with an estimate made
by an engineering firm of $21 million to
fix the infrastructure and other issues
at ACH. That means jack hammering
up concrete floors to get at embedded
heating, cooling and sewer pipe and
ductwork, closing services at the hospital several times over the 7 years of the
entire project and the loss of hospital
revenue from those closures. Under
Plan B, your taxes are higher than Plan
A because St. Lukes doesnt kick in
as much for a repaired as opposed to a
replaced facility. Plan B also has to be
voted on as well. If it doesnt pass, code
violation issues as well as all the other
heating/cooling, age and deterioration
issues have to be addressed.
When you analyze the negatives,
the answer becomes pretty clear. If
you have not done so, attend any of the
upcoming public forums and ask your
questions. Go to the website at www.
newandersoncountyhospital.com and
learn about the problems and the solutions.
A new hospital will help ensure a
future for premium health care for us
and our families – and that is crucial
for the survival of our community. It
will preserve 200 health care jobs and
some $9 million in salaries and benefits pumped into our local economy.
It advances clinic offerings so we dont
have to drive to the city for clinics and
builds a better Long Term Care facility for our elderly. It makes us safer in
case of accident or emergency. It gives
Anderson County an important bargaining chip to find another health system partnership in case things ever go
bad with St. Lukes. In short, it strengthens our community at 30 on the dollar.
And thats why you should vote
yes.

The talented Mr. Lew
BY RICH LOWRY
NATIONAL REVIEW
Some guys have it, and some dont. Im
referring to that special quality that makes
powerful institutions want to throw fistfuls of
dollars at them in senseless acts of high-priced
beneficence.
Jack Lew has it like
nobodys business. You
might think the bespectacled
treasury secretary nominee
is just another brainy budget
wonk and miss the animal
magnetism that makes his
employers lose all sense of
financial proportion around
him, paying him astronomiLowry
cal sums, forgiving his loans
and granting him generous
golden parachutes.
Yes, Jack Lew is a rare talent — at the art of
getting paid.
He left the Clinton administration, where he
served as director of the Office of Management
and Budget, for what turned out to be the
extremely lucrative field of nonprofit education. At New York University, he made more
than $800,000 in 2002. According to his W-2,
examined by staff on Capitol Hill, he made $1.2
million in total compensation in 2006.
Even for Jack Lew, housing in New York
City can be expensive. Not to worry. New York
University provided him a loan for housing.
The trouble with loans is that they have to be
paid back. Not to worry. All is forgiven if you
are Jack Lew, especially your loans. According
to Lew, the university forgave the loan of some
$1.4 million in equal installments over five
years.
Upon leaving NYU, Lew received what he
describes as a one-time severance payment
upon my departure. He wasnt fired, usually
the occasion for severances. He simply left and
got paid for the act of leaving. Hey, thats Jack
Lew — he gets paid when he stays and gets paid
when he goes.
He went to Citigroup, which NYU had made
its primary private lender for student loans in
exchange for a cut of those loans. (Coincidences
happen to everyone, including Jack Lew.) In
2008, as the bank nearly blew up and laid
off one-seventh of its employees, Lew ran its
disastrous Alternative Investments unit — and
got paid $1.1 million.
The bank had to be bailed out by the federal government, but it couldnt stop paying Jack Lew. The journalist Jonathan Weil
of Bloomberg has unearthed Lews contract
at Citi. It said, reasonably enough, that he
wouldnt get his guaranteed incentive and
retention award if he left the company. It
made an exception, though, if Lew left to get
a full-time high level position with the United
States government or regulatory body.
Jack Lew being Jack Lew, he left Citi to
become deputy secretary of state, on his way
to resuming his duties at OMB, then becoming
the chief of staff to the president, and now
secretary of the treasury. And, of course, he
got paid.
The cynics talk of crony capitalism. The
scoffers hint of special favors for the politically
connected. The good-government types worry
about the unseemliness of a too-big-to-fail Wall
Street bank giving one of its executives an
incentive to become a high-ranking government official. Maybe they should give it a rest
and simply stand back and marvel at the moneymaking machine that is Jack Lew. Lesser
mortals criticize and cavil. He gets paid.

Meals on Wheels means
more than just a hot meal
BY SHARON GEISS
MID AMERICA NUTRITION PROGRAM
Whats a simpler idea than Meals on Wheels?
Home bound, frail people who are struggling to
remain independent sign up with Mid-America
Nutrition Program. A brief assessment is
done to gather pertinent information. Each
day, volunteers or paid staff come by and drop
off a hot lunch. Donations, added to some federal and state dollars, cover the cost.
At Mid-America Nutritions kitchens each
morning 800+ meals are prepared to be served
to 800+ individuals across a 3600 square mile
area! More than half of those meals will be
delivered to someones home by a friendly volunteer.
Now some statistics: A recent survey tells
us that for 80% of those receiving Meals on
Wheels, it is their most important meal of the
day often the only meal. 50% report they
dont see anyone else most days!
Meals on Wheels is so much more than a
hot meal. Just as important is that face-to-face
social interaction. On that occasion when they
dont open the door, a series of phone calls
ensues. Weve had people yell that they cant
get out of their chair or that they are on the
floor and cant get up. It doesnt happen just
in commercials, said Sharon Geiss, Executive
Director of Mid-America Nutrition.
Meals on Wheels advocates have always
believed that something this fundamental
a hot meal, a greeting, another set of eyes
can help keep people in their homes longer. Recently a couple of Brown University
health researchers crunched the numbersfrom Medicare, states and counties, the federal
Administration on Aging and more than 16,000
nursing homes- from 2000 to 2009, publishing
their findings in the journal of Health Services
Research.
The connection they discovered between
home-delivered meals and the nursing home
population will come as welcome news to
Meals on Wheels supporters: States that spent
more than the average to be sure meals are
available, showed a greater reduction in the
proportion of nursing home residents who
didnt need to be there. The researchers call
these people low-care residents. Most people
living in nursing homes require around-theclock skilled care, and policymakers have been
pushing to find other ways to care for those
who dont. Still, in2010, about 12 percent of
long-term nursing home patients didnt need
this level of care.
Vincent Mor, co-author of the study
explained, Theyre not fully dependent. They
could be cared for in a community setting,
whether thats assisted living or with a few
hours of home care.
Thats how most seniors want to live. We
need to reserve nursing homes for those who
cant survive any other way. Sadly, political
budget cutters dont seem to love Meals on
Wheels as they should. For an each $25 a state
spends on home-delivered meals each year
per person over 65, the low-care nursing home
population decreases by a percentage point,
the researchers calculated. Thats a pretty
amazing return on investment!!
We spend a lot on crazy medical interventions that dont have as much effect as a $5
meal, Dr. Mor concluded. With this data,
were able to see this relationship for the first
time.
Sadly, though, appropriations for homedelivered meals are not increasing. Across
the nation more than 868,000 people in 2010
received meals (the latest numbers available).
Federal funding through the Older Americans
Act has been flat for most of the decade, while
food and gas cost and the number of people
in need have risen!
Given current budget pressures, program
directors hope they can just hold the line (the
sequester cuts to the federal budget are still
looming unless Congress and the White House
can reach an agreement on the debt limit and a
spending plan). In 2012 Mid-America Nutrition
Program saw an increase in demand for homedelivered meals but a decline in donations for
those meals. Costs continue to climb. Without
more federal or state money, we need to accept
that we will have to provide less meals and that
means seniors going without.
March is the month the Older Americans
Act was signed into action. All across the
nation Meals on Wheels providers will celebrate March for Meals to raise awareness
of this valuable service. Locally Mid-America
Nutrition Program has invited our county
commissioners to deliver Meals on Wheels on
March 20th. In addition, on March 23rd MidAmerica Nutrition Program will host a dinner
and pie auction to benefit Meals on Wheels.
Money raised will help end senior hunger here
in East Central Kansas! For more information
or to purchase tickets, call 785-242-8341.
As a property owner I believe I speak for many
when I say that I cannot continue to subsidize
all of our countys improvements. I will be the
first to say that we are in desperate need of
a new hospital, but I will be voting against it
because my taxes will increase approximately
$650 per year. You see I do not own just a $50,000
home and I do have more than 80 acres. My
taxes are already exorbitant and I must budget
now to pay my tax bill. Do I want a new hospital? Yes. Can I afford it? No. If there were a vote
for a county sales tax increase I would vote yes
in a heartbeat. A sales tax increase would at
least spread the burden to all residents and not
just property owners. Our hospital is utilized by
all and should be paid for by all, not just a few.
Thank you.
Im calling in regard to the fellow griping about
the city and the snow. You know, if you had to
go to the doctor all you had to do was call them
and they would have opened up your drive.
Besides that theyre doing the best they can in
that snow, and think back when we didnt have
this equipment. Thank you.
I recall a major renovation project of the
Anderson County Hospital occurred about 10
years ago at a cost of approximately $3.8 million. I also remember an update of the radiology
unit and the construction of a new ambulance
building was constructed. Now we are told the
building is essentially worthless with many
code violations mechanical system failures and
the list of stated deficiencies goes on and on. If
that is the case, what happened to the last 10
years or so to let the facility deteriorate to such
a state that it is now a crisis? They indicate it
is only fit for demolition and built back at the
taxpayers expense. A homeowner in Anderson
County doesnt have that luxury. They must
spend time and money regularly so as to prevent a similar situation. Hopefully those looking after our tax subsidized properties would be
held to an equal standard of regular property
maintenance.
I have a crystal ball, and Im looking into it to
see what happens if voters refuse the new hospital bond. Old run down hospital, like an old car,
more expensive to fix than keeping it is worth.
Pretty soon St. Lukes wont want to run it nor
will anybody else because of financial and legal
liability. Soon it closes because nobody wants
it, and we will be carrying on because we lost
200 good-paying jobs and $7 million in salaries
from our community. Will make losing Astro
and the ethanol plant jobs look like nothing.
Then people start moving away because they
dont want to live somewhere with no hospital,
property devalues and your taxes go up anyway. When theres a car wreck and you have to
take your injured children or grandchildren to
Ottawa or Kansas City instead of a local emergency room, what will you do then? Same thing
when grandpa or grandma has a heart attack
or a stroke. Then we will say, wow, all it would
have cost me to keep my local hospital was 5
more mills in taxes and St. Lukes was going to
pay the other 70 percent? Who could vote no
knowing what will happen if they do?
Hi Dane, heres an example of what other
people only think. I admit Ive never received
training in search and investigation. Ive been
completely frustrated while attempting to find
the required feasibility study regarding the proposed new hospital facility in our community.
Surely the responsible officials have not repeated the stupid mistake of again plunging our city
in another back breaking debt with no advance
assurance that the plan is workable. Remember
the Alamo? Also the trash filled walls and leaky
roof of the new high school and the disastrous
drainage problems due to building of the superdeluxe jail where added income was supposed
to alleviate our current tax situation? Then the
location of the new grammar school has caused
traffic problems with our main artery route 59.
A final note to responsible politicians: Before
diving in to the debt pool, please check for the
presence of water, okay?
I just wanted to say thank you to the city, state
and county guys for the job they did clearing
roads during the big snow storm this week.
And I dont think its too much trouble to ask
for somebody to go out with a shovel and clear
their own driveway opening after the graders
come by and kick up a little snow blocking it. Id
a whole lot rather have them do that than not be
out there at all. Thank you.
I would like to thank all the city workers who
worked countless hours and who worked very
hard the past two weeks to clear the streets of
snow, to keep the utilities on and keep the city
safe. Thank you also to all the good Samaritans
who did the very same thing out of the goodness
of their hearts. Your efforts to keep Garnett a
good and friendly town have not gone unnoticed.

Kansas FSA announces 45th CRP sign-up
Anderson Farm Service
Agency (FSA) County Executive
Director Doug Peine announced
today that the Kansas FSA
offices will conduct a four-week
Conservation Reserve Program
(CRP) general sign-up beginning May 20 and ending on
June 14.
Adrian J. Polansky, State
Executive Director for Kansas
FSA said; It continues to be
our goal to ensure that we use
CRP to address our most critical resource issues. Polanksy
added that in 2012, Kansas
experienced the worst drought
in 60 years. CRP protected environmentally sensitive lands
from washing or blowing away.
It gave ranchers extra grazing
land when they needed it. I
expect there will be strong competition to enroll or re-enroll
acres into CRP, so I urge Kansas
producers to maximize their
environmental benefits and
make sure their offers are costeffective.
In addition to erosion control, CRP provides significant
water quality benefits including reduced nutrients and
sediment loadings and adverse
consequences associated with
floods as well as expanded and
enhanced wildlife habitat.
Currently, about 27 million acres are enrolled in CRP
nationwide, 2.4 million acres in
Kansas. CRP is a voluntary program available to agricultural
Friends of the Prairie Spirit producers to help them safeTrail for those that would like guard environmentally sensito be more involved helping the tive land. Producers enrolled in
trail.
CRP plant long-term, resource-
conserving covers to improve
the quality of water, control
soil erosion and enhance wildlife habitat. Contracts on an
estimated 3.3 million acres of
CRP are set to expire on Sept.
30, 2013, 212,541.8 of those acres
in Kansas. Producers with
expiring contracts or producers
with environmentally sensitive
land are encouraged to evalu-
ate their options under CRP.
Producers that are accepted
in the sign-up can receive costshare assistance for planting
covers and receive an annual
rental payment for the length
of the contract (10-15 years).
Producers also are encouraged
to look into CRPs other enrollment opportunities offered on

This week is Agricultural
Safety Awareness Week
Across the nation, county
and state Farm Bureaus have
committed to making safety a top priority this spring
through the Agricultural
Safety Awareness Program.
Participants have designated
March 3-9 Agricultural Safety
Awareness Week.
This years theme is
Agricultural Safety: Your Best
Investment, and the emphasis
of the week is on encouraging
farmers to make safety a priority as they prepare to plant
crops this spring.
Making safety a priority on
the farm and ranch can save
both lives and resources by preventing accidents, injuries and
lost time.
Its important to take the
time to do farm tasks in a safe
manner. Each one of us can
make a difference in the health
and safety of loved ones and
employees on the farm, said
[name, title and organization].
The physical, emotional and
financial consequences of
a serious safety incident on
the farm and ranch are welldocumented. Investing time in
advance to ensure safety recommendations are followed
can prevent many incidents.
According to the latest figures
from the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention:
Every day, 243 agricultural
workers suffer lost-work-time
injury. Five percent of these
injuries result in permanent
impairment. That equates to
12 workers daily who sustain
injuries resulting in permanent
disabilities. Approximately
1,783,000 full-time workers were
employed in production agriculture in the U.S. in 2009. During
this same year, 440 farmers and
farm workers died from a workrelated injury for a fatality rate
of 24.7 deaths per 100,000 workers. Although the total number
of youth fatalities on farms and
ranches is declining, according
to industry experts when fatal
injuries do occur among youths
ller
2×5
on farms, 23 percent involved
machinery (including tractors),
19 percent involved motor vehicles (including ATVs) and 16
percent were due to drowning.
Between 1992 and 2009, 9,003
farmers and farm workers died
from work-related injuries in
the U.S. The leading cause of
death for these workers was
tractor overturns, accounting
for more than 90 deaths annually. The most effective way
to prevent tractor-overturn
deaths is the use of a Roll-Over
Protective Structure (ROPS)
with a seatbelt. In 2006, only
59 percent of tractors used on
U.S. farms were equipped with
ROPS.
Further, ag safety statistics
compiled by National Institute
for Occupational Safety &
Health indicate:
Over the eleven years from
1998 to 2009, the rate of childhood agricultural injuries per
1,000 farms (includes youth
who live on, visit, and are hired
to work on farms) declined by
57 percent (from 16.6 to 7.2).
The rate of injuries per 1,000
household youth (those living
on farms) declined by 60 percent (from 18.8 to 7.5) during
that same period.
On average, 113 youth less
than 20 years of age die annually from farm-related injuries
(1995-2002), with most of these
deaths occurring among youth
16-19 years of age (34 percent).
These statistics emphasize why,
during Ag Safety Awareness
Week and throughout the year,
state Farm Bureaus focus on
making farms and ranches
safer for farmers, their family
members and employees.

Bureau Safety and Health
Network of professionals who

Tyson talks about legislation
BY CARYN TYSON
KS SENATE
The legislature was delayed
due to snow throughout the
state. Thursday, the legislature
canceled all orders of business
for the safety of legislators,
visitors and all those who participate in making the process
work.
Senate
Concur rent
Resolution (SCR 1608) passed
the Senate with 27 votes, as
required for a Constitutional
Amendment, and now goes to
the House of Representatives
for further debate. SCR 1608
would allow voters the final
decision in determining to
amend Article 6, Section 6 of
the Kansas Constitution by
adding the following sentence:
The financing of the educational interests of the state
is exclusively a legislative
power. SCR 1608 is not aimed
at reducing education funding.
Our Constitution defines the
legislature s exclusive right
to appropriate funds and this
amendment would clarify that
this includes education finance.
When the court defines a spending amount, the funds have to
come from somewhere, either
cut from other programs, or a
possible tax increase. Voters
deserve the ability to have the
final say as to who makes the
spending and taxation decisions.
We have a duty to properly
fund schools, and we also have a
duty to support public safety, to
provide for the developmentally
and physically disabled, and to
support higher education. For
47 years education funding
has been in an unending cycle
of litigation. The litigation is
costly, uses taxpayer dollars
for lawsuits – instead of in the
classroom, and contributes to
education funding uncertainty.
If approved by a two-thirds
majority in both chambers, the
question would appear on the
August 2014 ballot, the earliest
ballot possible.
This week the Senate passed
a bill that updates the American
Medical Association (AMA)
Guide edition. Currently, in
Kansas statute, we reference the
AMA guide. The changes will
update the information from
the fourth edition to the sixth
edition. Primarily, the bill will
clarify that workers who are
not US citizens or who are not
authorized to work in the US
are not eligible to make wage
loss claims under the workers
compensation program. The
bill will also modify the process for requesting recusal of
an administrative law judge in
workers compensations cases.
The Senate passed Senate Bill
(SB 73) by a vote of 32-8.
SB 141 prohibits abortions
that are performed solely
on account of the sex of the
unborn child. The woman, the
father, or parents of the woman
may seek relief in a civil action
if found that an abortion was
preformed due to the sex of the
child. The bill passed by a vote
37-2.
In
2007,
the
Kansas
Legislature established the
Technical Education Authority.
The authority consists of 12
members, appointed under
specified geographic, party and
career representation guidelines. The Technical Education
Authority is delegated the task
of coordinating statewide planning for postsecondary technical education, new postsecondary technical education programs, and contract training.
SB 22 would extend the authority by three years, to June 30,
2017.
Senate Resolution (SR) 1711
addresses the problems Kansas
land-owners are having with
the federal governments safe
harbor agreement. The safe
harbor agreement was drafted
by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS) to encourage non-federal landowners to
voluntarily allow reintroduction of black-footed ferrets on
their properties. In December
2007, the USFWS reintroduced
black-footed ferrets into Logan
County, Kansas as part of a
recovery effort. The resolution states, on behalf of Kansas
landowners, a number of reasons we oppose the program.
The resolution further requests
the USFWS to exclude Kansas
from the territory contained in
the safe harbor agreement and
the USFWS refrain from releasing any more black-footed ferrets in Kansas.
SB 27 is a proposal that would
provide veterans the opportunity to take part in the Military
Service Scholarship Program.
Currently the scholarship is
only available to veterans who
served in specifically named
countries. SB27 amended the
definition of qualified student
to include future students who
may be in combat operations in
countries that are not listed in
current law. Our Military service men and women deserve to
have the opportunity to qualify
for this scholarship regardless of where they served. The
Senate passed the legislation
unanimously.
As the Affordable Care
Act is set for implementation
next January, the Health and
Welfare Committee introduced
SB 163, also known as mandate
lite legislation. The measure
would allow insurance companies to provide products for
healthy individuals and families who plan on resisting the
ACAs requirement. Insurance
companies would be able to sell
medical policies that exclude
coverage of mental health,
pharmacy, or chiropractic
treatments to individuals who
wouldnt use them and dont
want to pay for them. The legislation will bring more certainty
to the marketplace and provide
Kansans with a safety net if
their employer decides to drop
their coverage. The legislation
passed the Senate 38-1.

Freshman rep gives legislative update
BY KEVIN JONES
KS HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
The way our Kansas Court
of Appeals and Supreme Court
judges are selected has become
an item of spirited discussion.
We are the only state in the
nation that essentially allows
a relatively small group of lawyers – not chosen by the people
– to nominate these positions of
authority. There is a movement
in the legislature to change this
to a more democratic selection
process which would follow the
model used at the Federal level
in which the President nominates a person and there is an
approval by the Senate.
The mortgage interest
deduction is another hot topic.
Removal of this is part of the
Governors strategy to continue
on the path to 0% income tax
for us. His intention is to no
longer offer that deduction as
an option, and to use that revenue to help off-set the incometax revenue reduction that will
affect our budget this year. His
argument is that only 30% of
us Kansans even itemize our
tax returns, and of those even
fewer would be affected by this
change. He pleads that we look
at the overall tax reduction on
each Kansan and not focus on
this one as an increase.
Gun control laws have been
another hot topic because of
what is going on at a federal
level. As I write this there is
another 2nd Amendment rally
going on outside the south window of the House. Who would
have guessed that our Federal
government would try to dictate
our God given right to protect
our families here in Kansas?
Measures have been drafted
and introduced here that intend
to protect and solidify the 2nd
Amendment rights of Kansans.
Personally, I am doing well
as a freshman legislator in
Topeka. I have downsized to a
gas-sipping car for the commute
home each day, I have settled
into my office in 512-N, and I am
working hard in my committee
assignments as well as learning
the ropes. The question many
of you have asked: Is it everything you thought it would be?
To that I must admit, Yes and
no. I did not fully comprehend
the degree of political posturing that takes place, but being
able to represent and serve my
neighbors, friends, and family
by being a positive influence
at the State level is an absolute
honor.

bill idea, or you want to honor
someone, please do not hesitate
to contact me. If you are interested in receiving news from
me, please send your contact
information to my office. Email:

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 03-05-2013 / Judy Kinder
Gov. Sam Brownback meets with Parker Elementary School administration and students Wednesday,
Feb. 20. The school has been named one of the top achieving schools in the state based on state
assessment scores. Brownback is from Parker.
Governor honors Parker school
BY JUDY KINDER
PARKER/CENTERVILLE CORRESPONDENT
For the past several weeks
Parker/Fontana
Principal
Mark Staab has been working
diligently in making sure that
his students received notoriety
for their hard work this past
year and on Wednesday, that
due diligence paid off.
In December, Mr. Staab
received word that in addition to
both facilities being recognized
for their Standard of Excellence
commitments; Parker had been
recognized as one of the topachieving schools in the state of
Kansas, and as a result, being
one of a select few to receive the
prestigious Kansas Governors
Award.
With that acknowledgement,
the principal began formulating a plan that would not only
credit the students, but would
also recognize the kids in a very
special way.
Principal Staab stated, In
addition to students at both
schools receiving recognition
for their achievements in reading and math, Parker receiving
the Governors Award means
something a little special.
He goes on to explain, The
state of Kansas has a total of
782 elementary schools and of
those schools, 41 were singled
out this past year as being
among the very best in terms of
academic excellence. With that
said and the fact that Parker
has been recognized as one of
those top 41 schools is of itself,
a noted accomplishment that I
believed should be shared with
the community.
And while the other 40
schools are proud as punch;
Parker may just have one up
for this special recognition that
gives them a little extra bragging rights.
Mr. Staab says, As many
know, Parker Kansas is the
hometown to our governor,
Sam Brownback, so with that
in mind, I thought what a special treat it would be if we could
invite Governor Brownback to
a special awards ceremony and
ask him to personally present
the award in person.
So began Mr. Staabs mission
to make that special presentation a reality.
After a few calls to Topeka,
the Governor graciously scheduled time on Wednesday to visit
the school and perhaps leave a
special memory for those students that will stay with them a
lifetime.
The fanfare began with the
Prairie View Band performing in top form along with the
cheer squad getting the audience geared up to welcome the
governor.
As parents, students and
special guests (including
Superintendent Chris Kleidosty,
Parker Mayor, Wayne Burk and
the governors parents, Bob and
Nancy Brownback), arrived,
the atmosphere was electric as
Governor Brownback made the
presentation.
His expression of pride for
his hometown and the schools
he attended while growing up
in Parker was quite evident
as he mentioned former classmates (who were in attendance)
and teachers that would remain
in his childhood memories and
how all those attributed to his
many accomplishments over
the years.
As the program concluded,
it was quite obvious that that
pride expressed by the governor carried over to the students
and audience as well.
Later, Mayor Burk commented, I think that Principal
Staab along with the school district did an outstanding job this
morning in recognizing a bunch
of great students and teachers
for their combined efforts that
resulted in this acknowledgement. I believe everyone in this
community has a little extra
something to smile about; not
only the opportunity to visit
with Governor Brownback, but
to know that our kids our truly
among the best of the best in
the entire state!

Decorate your menu card for dinner Richmond Museum sets
annual meeting March 18
Lets take another look back
at early day eating habits, etc.
Young folks and women
often ate at a second table if
there were too many important men for the first sitting. In
some families, children even
stood at meals, behind adults
or at a separate table. Dogs
often roamed about the room,
scavenging under the table for
dropped bones or other morsels.
In some homes, family members and servants ate together,
with the latter sitting at the
far end of the table, below the
large salt or boat or salt cellar
which was kept in the center,
sometimes in a caster which
also held pepper, vinegar, mustard and nutmeg.
Anyone having dinner
before 8 oclock p.m. ran the
risk of being thought stodgy,
because, as one authority put
it, only quiet folks eat before
8.
To prevent boredom at the
table, families were urged to
select a special topic of conversation at each meal, announcing the subject in advance so
that even the youngest family
member would have the opportunity to prepare themselves.
Even in the early days, there
was concern about the feeding
by Henry Roeckers
Contact (785) 448-6244
for local archeology information.
of children. In one old cook
book, we can read that the
cow selected to provide the
milk for an infant should be
between the ages of four and
10 and should be of mild disposition. She should be fed
on good, clean grain and hay,
free from must or mildew. She
should be cleaned and cared
for like a carriage horse and
milked twice a day, preferably
by the same person at the same
time.
In formal dining as elsewhere, customs change with
the times. Today, for example,
we no longer see the little
menu that was recommended
for the formal dinner back
around 1880. It appeared either
on small porcelain slates, one
between each two diners, or
on hand-printed cards. Listed
were the principal foods to be
served, but it was not deemed
necessary to include such
obvious items as celery, radishes, olives, bread and butter,
or mints.
The hand-made menu card
offered much opportunity for
adding attraction to a company dinner, according to one
etiquette book, if the hostess
possessed the necessary artistic skill. She was advised to
paint a floral decoration or tiny
sketch with an appropriate
quotation on each card, along
with the guests name and the
date of the dinner. Such a card
made a very pleasing souvenir. A proper quotation printed
after each dish was described
as being much in vogue as a
means of stimulating conversation between guests, and it
was best if the quotations were
all taken from one author.
Ladies were advised to keep
their fan and gloves in their
laps when sitting down at the
table, and the hostess was told
that a foot stool under the table
for each lady would add greatly to their comfort and make it
easier for them to keep the fan
and gloves from slipping to the
floor.
Next column I will cover a
few more early formal dining
customs.
1993: County sheriff dies
March 4, 2003
The lights are finally out in
Greeley at the building that
used to house Mow Mowz,
an adult entertainment club.
Thought he business closed in
early 2002, a large number of
security lights around he building remained ablaze until just
last week. The clubs former
owner said the lights stayed
on because he wanted to honor
his commitment to Kansas City
Power and Light. Area residents had complained about
the bright parking lot lights
since before the club opened
in 2001. The club closed in less
than a year but the lights burning gave off a glow that could
be seen for more than a half
mile in all directions.
Anderson County commissioners approved a controversial special use permit last
week for a dog kennel near
Bush City, which nearby landowners say was started before
the owners investigated proper
county zoning channels. The
owners heard some support
from some area residents at
the Feb. 20 zoning meeting,
who said the Missouri couple
had been treated rudely by the
kennel opponents and that the
kennel operation appeared to
be clean, well-run and humane.
Opponents argued that seven
out of eight nearby landowners who protest the operation
werent being heard by county
commissioners.

Anderson County Sheriff
Franz Aubry, 54, died early
Wednesday morning in Topeka
due to complications brought
on by pneumonia and fungal
meningitis. Aubry had been
in the hsoptial for about two
months. He was admitted in
mid-January after being diagnosed with fungal meningitis.
Aubry, who beat former sheriff
Fred Litsch in the November
1992 election for the seat, had
been in office about one week
before he became ill. During
that time no undersheriff was
in office.

Overruling a decision by the
Kansas State Historical Society,
the Garnett City Commission
decided to press forward with
the demolition of the Hotel
Richart on the northwest corner of the county square. The
state historical society denied
the citys request to condemn
and demolish the three-story
building because of its proximity to the Anderson County
Courthouse, which is on the
states register of historic
places, and because of what
the society deemed would be a
negative historic impact on the
environment surrounding the
courthouse.

The welcome news comes
from New York that the pretty
feminine curves are coming
back; that the ladies are kissing their ugly straight corsets
goodbye; that all the newest
gowns are being made to fit the
form, and a woman will no longer look like a clothespin or a
lead pencil, with a rag wrapped
around it. The newest models
shown present a figure that
shows graceful curves. The
skirts are longer and flat feet
are not so much in evidence as
with the short, skimpy skirts
now worn. Of course, men are
not supposed to see the ladies
feet, but how can they help it
while the ladies wear the present mode of dresses? Well, the
news is a relief to admirers of
the form divine, and we believe
the ladies will adopt the graceful sensible fashion of dress
with a sigh of relief.

All are invited to come see
the newly redecorated Museum,
some new display cases and artifacts. The floor has been reinforced, said Dennis Peters who
headed the project. Supplies
were purchased from Garnett

carpet from Baumans.
Peters was assisted by Lester

Mickael and Jan Peters who
live in Arizona but return to
Richmond once a month. Its a

members and leaders helped
box and store items prior to the
floor work and unbox after the
floor was finished. This included James and Amanda Raby;
Jim, Julia, Scooter and Jake
Kice; Molly and Anna Farris.
These five Central Heights
students helped lay the plywood

Milliken, Dillon Schwab,
Keith Shrimpton and Alex
Shrimpton.
Others who have worked
on the project include Janice
McIntosh, Gene and Pat Vining,
Kevin and Mary Tooley, Mary
Wiederholt and Pat Mason.
Two major artifacts added are
a large Phillips 66 sign that was
used at the Richmond station
for years and donated by Ed
Wolken of Garnett, and a cream
separator donated by Leon
Wiederholt of Princeton. The
Phillips 66 sign was featured on
the Museums first place float at
last years Richmond Free Fair
parade.
Military medals, including
his German Prisoner of War
medal, that belonged to the late
Leon Akin were given to the
Museum recently. Akin is the
only known World War II POW
from the Richmond area, said
Prue who researched the veterans career.
After the March 18th meeting, the Museum will next be
open Saturday, April 13, while
the group serves a potato bar
fundraiser supper next door
at the Richmond Community
Bldg.
The 6th season will start
Memorial Day weekend and run
through Labor Day weekend,
open Saturday and Sunday, 1-4
pm, with no admission charge.
So, mark your calendars
for Monday, March 18, and
Saturday, April 13, for Richmond

A look at the active lives of Anderson County's mature adults
Community Correspondents: News close to home
Colony column keeps Luedke involved in community
COLONY – Allene Luedke isnt a native
of Colony. She married into the community in 1957 when she and her husband,
Morris Luedke, moved to his hometown.
Soon after arriving in her new community, Allene Luedke wanted to get to know
people. She joined clubs like the extension homemakers unit. In the early 1960s,
she saw an advertisement in the Garnett
newspaper for a community correspondent from the Colony area. It seemed like
a perfect opportunity – a chance to get to
know more people in the community, and
a chance to write.
Luedke always enjoyed writing. She was
born and raised in northwest Missouri,
and started writing to penpals she found
in a Kansas City magazine when she was
in grade school. At one time, she had as
many as 21 penpals. Some of the penpals
lasted through high school. She became
particularly close to one girl and continued to write to her until Luedke was in
her 20s, when she learned the girl had
become ill and passed away. That was her
last penpal.
After Luedke began writing for the
Garnett newspaper, she developed her
own style as a community correspondent.
She didnt want to be a gossip columnist,
just reporting on the personal lives of
Colony residents. Instead, she focuses
more on whats happening to develop the
community. She reports whats happening with Colony businesses, any interesting action at the city council, projects by
local clubs and organizations, and follows
the Crest school district. Of course, birthdays and family gatherings will make the
column, too.
I dont know everything, of course,
Luedke said. I hope I know the most
important things. I try to keep people
informed of upcoming events and what
Mrs. Morris Luedke

with Colony news.
goes on in our school.
Luedke asks Colony residents to submit interesting news items for her column. Over the years, that has become
both easier and more difficult at the same
time.
Technology makes it much easier to
collect and submit her column. Luedke
was the first Review correspondent to
embrace email, asking people to send
news items via email and sending her
completed column to the paper in a digital format. She learned how to use a computer through a nephew and took a beginning computer class at Allen Community
College in Iola.
But modern society also has made
it more difficult for community correspondents. Some clubs, like the extension
homemakers unit Luedke first joined
when she moved to Colony, no longer
exist. Those clubs that remain often suffer from low membership, or members
who are so busy that they dont have time
to submit their club news to the local correspondent.
Even community correspondents are
a fading breed. While The Review once
had correspondents in every community
it covered, now there are only two.
It kind of concerns me, Luedke said.
You dont see many people care about
writing like that.
The goal of a community correspondent is to provide a forum for people in a
community to share news of their activities and the important happenings in the
community. A community correspondent
can tailor the column to suit the unique
needs and personality of the community
in a way traditional news reporters cannot match.
I used to know everybody in town and
where they lived, Luedke said. A lot of
people have been here as many or more
years as me. Now they come and go so
much, I dont know everyone anymore.
Since she began writing for The Review
in the early 1960s, Luedke has continued
to expand her column. She has been writing for the Iola Register since the early
1970s. Except for a short break when she
worked other jobs between the late 1960s
and early 1970s, Luedkes column has
been a regular feature in newspapers in
Iola and Garnett. Even when she goes
on vacation, Luedke prepares a column
in advance. She hasnt missed a week.
At some point, she realizes the column
will come to an end, like it has for most
of the communities in Anderson County.
Keeping track of the activities in Colony
and submitting a weekly column isnt an
easy thing to do.
You have to like it to do it, she said.
You have to like to feel like youre more
of a part of the community. It lets people
keep Colony on the map.

PARKER Judy Kinder was tired of the

Becoming a community correspondent
for local newspapers seemed like the perfect solution.
Kinder worked for GE Capital as a

years when the company decided to close

City to Atlanta. It wasnt practical for
Kinder, a longtime Parker resident, to
relocate. Her husband is from Parker, and
their daughter and grandchildren live
nearby.
As her job ended because of relocation
in 1998, Kinder learned from a friend that
a community correspondent position was
available with the Linn County newspaper.
Eventually, she began to send the column
to the Osawatomie newspaper as well, but
that paper stopped using community correspondents. Several years ago, Kinder
asked The Review if the paper was interested in having a correspondent from the
Parker and Centerville area. Many of
her neighbors have family in Anderson
County, and the Parker and Centerville

Kinder is just one of two remaining community correspondents.
Kinder is sad to see people turn away
from community news in favor of online
social networking and texting.

Dangerous driving distractions that may surprise you
(BPT) – By now, almost everyone
knows the dangers of texting or talking on a cellphone while driving. But
phones arent the only distractions drivers should be aware of. Experts say that
anything that draws your attention away
from the road can be a potential cause
of an accident. That includes actions
and situations as innocuous as snacking
behind the wheel or postponing a bathroom break.
Most adults who drive regularly
admit to engaging in distracting behaviors while behind the wheel, according
to a Harris Interactive/HealthDay poll.
Eighty-six percent eat or drink while
driving, 59 percent use a hand-held cellphone, 41 percent fiddle with their GPS
device, 37 percent text and 14 percent
apply makeup, according to the poll.
Distracted driving can be deadly
driving, says Julie Lee, vice president
and national director of AARP Driver
Safety. Researchers are finding that any
type of distraction is risky, not just the
ones we typically think of as dangerous,
like texting or talking on the phone.
In fact, a study led by Dr. Peter Snyder,
vice president of research for Lifespan, a
Rhode Island-based health system, found
that a strong urge to urinate can impair
your functioning as effectively as drinking alcohol or being sleep deprived. And
the effects of hunger, thirst and tiredness on attention spans and reflex times
have been well known for years.
Here are three other potentially distracting behaviors and situations that
you might not view as risky:
Eating and/or drinking – We all do
it, especially when were in a hurry to
make an appointment, have skipped a
meal or just cant make it through the
rest of the drive without a cup of joe. But
eating or drinking while driving involves
taking at least one hand – and part of
your attention – off the wheel. Consider
the 2011 case of a woman in Croton-onHudson, N.Y. Police said she hit a guardrail and flipped her Subaru when she
spilled hot coffee during her morning
drive. Fortunately, she sustained only
minor injuries.
Unrestrained pets – Many pet owners
think of their dogs as their children. But
while theyre diligent about buckling
up the kids and grandkids, they dont
always secure their dogs while in the car.
Allowing your pet to ride unrestrained in your lap, beside you or in the backseat
– is dangerous for you and him. A survey
by AAA and Kurgo Pet Products found
that 65 percent of respondents had participated in at least one dog-related distracting behavior while driving, such as
petting (52 percent) or allowing the dog to
sit in their lap (17 percent). Restraining

Unrestrained pets are one of the most dangerous driving distractions, according to the AARP.
your pet can help minimize driver distractions, restrict the pets movement
in case of a crash, and protect pets from
potentially being harmed by inflating
airbags.
Rubbernecking – Slowing down or
pulling over to get a better look at an
accident not only displays a lack of tact,
it could also cause another accident.
If your eyes are on the crash youre
approaching – or passing – theyre not
on the road ahead of you. As recently
as August 2012, police in Greenbelt, Md.,
cited rubbernecking as the probable
cause of a double accident that shut
down a major highway during morning rush hour. A Maryland State Police
spokesperson told the Greenbelt Patch
that police see rubbernecking accidents
all the time.
Although drivers age 50 and older
are less likely to engage in distracting behaviors like texting or using a
hand-held cellphone behind the wheel,
they may face other challenges, such as
natural changes in vision, hearing and
reaction times, says Lee.
Brushing up on driving skills can
help older drivers manage health-related changes that may come with age.

Retirement planning? Tips for getting
the most out of Social Security
(BPT) – The majority of Americans support continuing the Social Security program, even if they are decades away from
drawing benefits, a 2010 survey by AARP
found. Nevertheless, with the programs
future financial viability an ongoing subject of political debate, many people may
undervalue the role Social Security can
play in their retirement planning.
For years, financial services companies have downplayed the role of Social
Security in bolstering financial security
in retirement, writes James Mahaney,
vice president of Strategic Initiatives for
Prudential, in the white paper Innovative
Strategies to Help Maximize Social
Security Benefits. However, considering the increased financial risks retirees
now shoulder, the tax preferences that
Social Security receives, and the income
options that Social Security now offers, a
strong argument can be made that Social
Security should play a greater role in a
retirees financial planning.
Each day, 10,000 Americans reach
retirement age. With people living longer
and fewer companies offering pensions,
saving for retirement has become even
more important for todays workers. Yet,
retirement savings rates remain low.
Social Security offers regular income
that is guaranteed to increase over time
and continue for as long as you live,
Mahaney writes. No other (retirement)
vehicle can match the combination of
inflation-fighting increases, longevity
protection, investment risk elimination,
and spousal coverage that Social Security
can (offer).
With Social Security accounting for
approximately 40 percent of income for
the average retiree, according to the
Employee Benefit Research Institute,
it makes sense to take steps to maximize potential Social Security benefits,
Mahaney advises.
While most Americans realize they
accrue Social Security benefits throughout their careers, many may be unaware
that they can influence the amount they
will receive upon retirement. Retirees
can help maximize their Social Security
benefits by avoiding four costly – and common – mistakes:
Dont underestimate the real value of
Social Security.
Dont rush to collect Social Security
– and then regret the reduced benefits for
the rest of your life.
Dont overlook the various ways married couples can integrate their benefits.
Dont get blindsided by taxes.
Claiming benefits as soon as theyre
eligible is a common mistake that can
cost retirees tens of thousands of dollars
over their lifetime. Although most everyone becomes eligible for benefits at age
62, delaying benefits until you reach Full
Retirement Age (which varies depending
on your birth year) or later may help
ensure you receive the maximum amount
you qualify for.
Retirees often apply for Social
Security benefits early, Mahaney writes.
Most certainly didnt stop to think that
… they could have potentially doubled
their initial payments if only they had
waited until age 70.
Another common mistake is forgetting
that when you retire, the income received
from IRA withdrawals often causes Social
Security benefits to become taxed as well.
Since Social Security income is taxed differently than IRA income, you can often
reduce your taxes by choosing higher
Social Security income and lower IRA
withdrawals.
Its never too early – or too late – to plan
for retirement, experts agree. Talk to
your financial advisor about your retirement strategy and how Social Security

The aging population: A benefit, not burden
(BPT) – With life expectancy increasing, the percentage of population
over age 60 is booming. By 2030, the
population over 60 will be growing 3.5
times as rapidly as the total population, according to the United Nations
Population Fund (UNFPA).
While some look at this as a potential burden on the health care industry and society, Greg Sebasky, chairman of Philips North America, looks
at this trend as an opportunity. He
says this is a time to connect with
well-rounded, productive and intelligent people and reap what the Philips
Center for Health and Well-Being
calls, the longevity dividend.
All citizens have an important role
to play to ensure everyone has the
opportunity to receive this longevity
dividend. Here are five steps to take
to help shift a perceived burden into
a lasting, positive benefit for society:
1. Appreciate the contributions of
older citizens. Saying thank you to
a family member for sharing a traditional family recipe or to a neighbor
for keeping a watchful eye on your
home is an easy way to bring to light
the every-day dividends.
2. Learn from history. Older citizens have seen more of societys ups
and downs, from a macro world view
to a micro family perspective. They
have the benefit of experience that can
help everyone shape new approaches
to challenges faced – whether in the
home, at work or around town. Ask
for advice and listen to the input.
3. Plug in. Help keep citizens
engaged with family and friends by
showing them technologies such as
email or social media, or bookmark
links to helpful websites. Doing so
will keep elderly residents connected
while maintaining independence.
4. Offer employment. Many newlyretired citizens would benefit from
the ongoing mental and social stimulation provided by a workplace, even
for a few hours a week. Consider posting jobs at senior community centers

so active residents can easily learn
about new opportunities.
5. Be an advocate. Speak up at
town meetings and keep an ongoing dialog with local officials to consider the aging population in town
planning, budgeting and support services. Remind officials of the social
capital provided by these important
residents, and how considering their
needs will help the community as a
whole.
By changing perceptions of the
elderlys contributions to the community, society can take the important
first step to reaping these positive
impacts of the longevity dividend.
