Garnett Country Club golf course has
helped local charities raise big money
now it needs a little help from its friends
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Charity golf
tournaments at the Garnett
Country Club Golf Course
help raise tens of thousands
of dollars annually for local
organizations, and golf
course management hopes
that resource will motivate local businesses and
civic groups to chip in for
a major irrigation system
replacement at the course.
Management of the
Garnett Golf Club hopes
to know by its March 13
annual meeting if an effort
to enlist community support from businesses and
civic organizations will help
raise part of an estimated
$200,000 to replace its 50 yearold irrigation system.
A letter received by businesses and local organizations last week detailed the
project and laid out the financial challenge.
To kick off our campaign, Garnett Country Club
has received about $5,000
in memorial contributions
and (has) added an additional $5,000 from the (clubs)
general account, the letter
read. To date, we have also
received $5,000 in pledges
for this project, bringing
our initial total to $15,000.
Organizers hope to access
grant funding to round out a

portion of the costs.

project and the fundraising
effort at the clubs annual
meeting set for March 13 at 2

EKAE set to appeal
decision on taxes
BY DANE HICKS THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA Oral arguments
for the Kansas Court of
Appeals may be scheduled as
early as April or May in the
ongoing litigation between
Anderson County and the
East Kansas Agri Energy
ethanol plant over the classification of the plants property for assessment of taxes.
Mike Montoya, the Salina
attorney representing the
county, told county commissioners last week briefs in
the case had been filed by
both parties in December
and that even with scheduling delays due to Covid-19
and hearings rescheduled to
Zoom hearings, he looked for
the arguments to be taken up
sometime within the next 60
days.
The timeline and the resolution are important to local
units of government as well
as the plant and its shareholders, since taxes EKAE
has paid under protest since
2016 have in most cases not
been accessed by county, city
and school board budgets
because of uncertainty that
portions might have to be
returned if EKAE wins the
case.
The appeals court in
October said no oral argu-
ments would be scheduled
in the case, but EKAE convinced the court to allow
that open debate and set it
for November 17. Briefs in
preparation for those arguments werent finalized and
filed with the court until
December according to the
courts docket.
The issue revolves around
the property tax value
assessed to EKAEs plant,
built in 2005 but financed
under an Industrial Revenue
Bond issue by the City of
Garnett which delayed any
property tax payments for
a decade until the bonds
matured in 2015. The debate
that eventually brought the
matter to court involves how
much of the plant should be
valued as personal property and how much should be
assessed as real estate. State
law allows personal property
for commercial businesses to
be assed at a value allowing
for depreciation on that property acquired up through
June 30, 2006. After that, personal property isnt taxable.
The plant, which cost in
excess of $40 million to build,
was valued at $32 million
when it was initially placed
on the tax rolls for the 2016

Covid decline prompts county fair,
other local events to move forward
Better virus numbers,
vaccinations pave way
to open gatherings
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Buoyed by
increasing numbers of Covid19 vaccinations and decreasing numbers of infections and
deaths nationwide, Anderson
County Fair Association
board members last week
finalized plans for the complete reopening of the county
fair planned for this COMING
July.
Fair board members confirmed the kickoff parade
set for Tuesday, July 27. The
Demolition Derby event is set
for Saturday, March 27.
Fair board member Jess
Rockers said some details
were yet to be finalized such
as a formal contract with a
carinval provider for the fair
midway, but that those details
would be completed soon.
Covid concerns as well
as fears over Vesicular
Stomatitius Virus, a non-lethal virus that mimics
hoof and mouth disease and
makes hoof and mouth harder
to detect, brought about the
cancellation of public events
at last years fair and other
restrictions on livestock
exhibits.
The county fair is
the second major community
event to announce its plans to
pursue regular operations so
far this spring. Organizers of
the local chapter of Business
and Professional Women
announced in late February
that its annual Square Fair
event on the lawn of the
Anderson County Courthouse
would go on as scheduled in
May after being cancelled
in 2020. Local high school
proms in Garnett, Crest and
Central Heights school districts were also scheduled to
proceed this spring according to district officials, and
the Garnett Lions Club has
announced plans to proceed
with its Kansas Dual Sport
Safari motorcycle rally in
June.
Organizers
o
f
the Cornstock Concert On
The Hill, previously set for
a September date, pulled the
plug on that event last month
saying there was no
way to ensure a normal event this year.
Constock was Covidcancelled last year as
well, and 2021 makes
the third year in a
row the events been
scuttled after it fell
prey to a weather
event in 2019.
Public health
officials conducted the second vaccination clinic in
Garnett February
24 and announced
March 2 that vaccine would be
available
to
county
residents age 65 and
over as well
as workers in the
agriculture, healthcare and
in-person education industries at AuBurn Pharmacy in
Garnett.
As of last week according
to the Kansas Department
of Health & Environment,
Kansas logged 295,861 Covid
cases with 9,387 hospitalizations and 4,812 deaths
for a survival
rate of 98.4 percent. Anderson
County
had
recorded
816
cases as of last
week with 36
hospitalizations and 2,341
negative tests.
The
county
had six active
cases of the
virus
last
week, up
from four
the prior
week.

He could be
your best friend
Dr. Adrian Rogers made the
following statement.
What
Jesus does with you will depend
on what you do with him. In
other words developing a relationship with Jesus is no different than with anyone else.
Relationships that last are
forged over time. You didnt just
meet your best friend yesterday.
You may have met them years
ago. There are many reasons you
are friends but the reason the
relationship has lasted is primarily due to the fact that it is balanced. When you need someone
to come alongside of you who is
there? Your best friend, and why
is that? Because you have been
there for them. Lasting relationships require equal effort on both
sides.
In his time here Jesus put
forth tireless effort to try and
build relationships. In Matthew
11:28 Jesus says, Come to me
all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn
from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find
rest for your souls. For my yoke
is easy and my burden is light.
Here Jesus offers rest and service to all who are in need of his
help, the gesture of a friend. Yet
how many of us have responded
to this invitation? If you dont
make some kind of change in
your life is your situation going
to improve?
Throughout the scriptures it

BY DAVID BILDERBACK
is made very clear. If we come to
Jesus he will meet us with open
arms. King David was a good
example of this. David had many
high points in his life which
occurred when he was walking
with God. The defeat of Goliath
the giant, and his leadership that
took Israel to the highest point
of their existence were accomplished by working through God.
Yet at other times, an adulterous
affair with Bathsheba, and the
census which God forbade were
times when he and Israel suffered
the most.
David composed the 23rd
Psalm most likely as an old king
who was looking back at his life.
In this Psalm we see how David
had become totally dependent
upon God. Maybe that is why
God was able to call David a man
after his own heart. In other
words a friend of Jesus.

Colony Christian Church
– Make Your Move
Darren McGhee gave the
Communion Meditation on
leadership. Nehemiah chose
to leave the king's service and
return home to help rebuild
Jerusalem. He led the people to
rebuild the walls and gates of
the city, and it only took them
52 days. When you pray to God
and ask him, "Lord, where do
you want me to lead?", be ready
to accept his answer. With an
attitude of dependence on God,
he will use us. He has a purpose
for each of us. Recognize God
as the sovereign leader of the
universe, rely on him and let
him be your strength.
Pastor Chase Riebel gave
the sermon "Make Your
Move" over Nehemiah 2.
We looked at 4 things with
this passage: 1. Timing, 2.
Preparation, 3: Evaluation/
Inspection, 4. Implementation/
Communication. We need to be
sure to wait on God and recognize that his timing is perfect.
It's not always our timing, so
we should pray for patience.
And we should also pray before
beginning any kind of preparation. When the king asked
Nehemiah how he could help,
Nehemiah had already been
speaking to God and knew
what he would need in order
to travel back to Jerusalem
to rebuild. He also anticipated any road blocks that might
hinder his progress, and had
a plan to work around them.
Identify the strengths and
weaknesses, and prioritize and
allocate any resources that you
may need (supplies, time, manpower, etc). Then communicate
your plan to others and implement it. God specifically called
Nehemiah for this project, and
Nehemiah answered that call.

move to answer God's call? You

BOSE
AUGUST 24, 1937 – FEBRUARY 20, 2021
FEBRUARY 8, 1930 – FEBRUARY 25, 2021
Floyd Henry Bose, 91, passed
away Thursday, February
25, 2021 in
Richmond,
KS.
F l o y d
was
born
February 8,
1930 on the
family farm
in
Athol,
KS, the son
Bose
of
Henry
and Sophia
(Suchsland) Bose. Floyd graduated from Athol High School in
1948 and enlisted in the United
States Marine Corps. Floyd
would tell everyone that he and
his friend Duane Hooper signed
up for the USMC because the
line was the shortest. He went
on to say, Now I know why
the line was so short. Floyd
was a charter member of Mt.
Suribachi Det. 105 Marine
Corps League which is the oldest detachment in the state of
Kansas. Shortly after enlisting, Floyd married Bernetta
Jane Bonnett of Smith Center
in 1949. They went on to have
three children, Kenton Duane,
Dion, and Vicki. They later
separated in 2003.
Floyd Spent his life working
on the farm and working with
a custom cutting crew that
would cut wheat. They would
start in Texas and travel up
to South Dakota all summer
long. Floyd then went into law
enforcement where he was a
deputy for many years. He
then became the Sheriff of
Smith County, Kansas for 14
years and continued his law
enforcement career as Chief of
Police in Osborne, Kansas.
Floyd had a passion for
many things, but a few of his
favorites were hunting, fishing, collecting guns and spending time with his great grandchildren. Floyd loved fishing
so much that he would travel
across the U.S. just to search
for that trophy fish. His daughter Vicki has always been his
fishing buddy. They would go
to Colorado for trout, Arkansas
for bass, and South Dakota for
Walleye. They even went to
California to go deep sea fishing. If Floyd wasnt fishing,
he was hunting or teaching his
grandchildren how to shoot.
He even taught his grandchildren about snipe hunting.
Floyd loved to prank people
to get a good laugh. When
describing Floyd, one of the
main words that would come
up would be ornery. Floyd had
two sidekicks to help with that.
He was always getting into
trouble with Aaron Meyer and
Dale Bonnett. Floyd will be
remembered by his family and
friends for his practical jokes,
golden heart, and the love and
honor he had for his family and
his country.
He was preceded in death
by this parents, two brothers,
Emil and Elmer Bose, two sisters, Alma and Mary, a son
Kenton Duane Bose, and two
grandchildren, Linda Urbanek
and Scott Smith.
Floyd is survived by two
daughters, Dion Bose of
Salina, and her grandchildren,
Michael, Jessalyn, Tristan
and Damien, Vicki (Anthony)
Mersman of Greeley; granddaughter Sarah (Jeremy)
Roberts of Garnett and three
great-grandsons, Alex, Aiden
and Ashton Roberts, grandson
Thomas Mersman of Lawrence,
granddaughter Lauren (Cody)
Purney of Topeka and two
great-granddaughters, Athena
and Raylynn Purney.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, March 9, 2021
OPINION
The Great Unarmed Insurrection
Like dastardly James Bond villains, Trump
supporters continued last week to use their
secret mind control weapon against President
Joe Biden and Democrat leadership in Congress
to further the January 6 insurrection, and no
amount of razor fencing or tired, sleep-deprived,
poorly-fed National Guard troops can stop them.
Guns? They dont need no stinking guns.
Thats why of the untold thousands of better
judgment-challenged election protestors who
flooded the capitol on January 6, the FBI recovered not a single weapon. Capitol police and D.C.
officers only found
three guns in some
500 arrests.
Thats three;
Roman Numeral
III; as in Threes
Company; The
Three Amigos;
The
Three
Stooges.
Yes,
it
will go down as
the least-armed
insurrection
in
American history
but then again who
needs guns to push
some South American-style junta when youre
already this deep in your adversarys head?
Famously, the only shot fired during the
January 6 incident was from the sidearm of a
still unidentified Capitol Policeman. Unlike
Derek Chauvin or Darren Wilson, the capitol
cops anonymous status is presumably yet preserved only because his now dead target was an
unarmed white conservative female in other
words a person of little political importance.
But think of the mess that doesnt have to be
cleaned up when insurrectionists dispense with
firearms and use only psychological warfare.
If those Whiskey Rebellion tax protestors in
Pittsburgh on July 16, 1794, had been as able to
intimidate tax collector John Neville as deftly as
Trump supporters have freaked out Joe Biden,
they might not have felt compelled to burn down
Nevilles house. Rebellion leader Major James
McFarlane might not have been killed in the
ensuing firefight and might have instead lived
to a ripe old age.
If only business and property owners in
Minneapolis, Atlanta, Portland, Boston, Chicago
and other cities plagued by riots last summer
could have faced foes commited to such levels of
mind control instead of Molotov cocktails.
… the capitol cops anonymous status is presumably yet preserved only
because his now dead
target was an unarmed
white conservative
female in other words
a person of little political
importance.
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
Yet, here we are, two full months after the
January 6 three-gun insurrection, and Biden
and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are still girding for a frontal assault at the capitol behind
razor wire and National Guardsmen, who
should have more rightly been dispersed across
the country to transport Covid-19 vaccine and
operate vaccination stations. Of course, the concerns of a worldwide pandemic can wait when
an insurrection is at hand.
The second wave was coming March 4, top
intelligence officials determined. March 4 came
and went. It was 55 degrees and sunny. The
sound of joggers footsteps on the Capitol Mall
was deafening.
Now, crack investigative reporters at the
Washington Post have it on really good authority from someone well-placed in the Qanon movement a guy they call Ken that Trump will
be inaugurated as President in D.C. on March 20
and that the attack will happen then. Millions of
dollars a day in security and the nations capitol
looking like a prison? Well, okay. If Ken says
so
Its unknown how long Biden and Pelosi
think they can bolster their hairs width political majority by presenting the capitol as an
armed camp prepared for some onslaught of
rabid Trumpites. What is certain is the longer it
goes on and the more they try to fan the feeble
embers of that January 6 dumbassery into a fullfledged national emergency worth the imagery,
the sillier they look. Americans know a ruse
when its being played, even with razor wire.
Bidens presidency is underway, but theres
no doubt Trump still casts a shadow in his head.
Democrats are going to have to ask Ken what to
do about that. ###

Biden inherited a record-high stock market,
good economy (positive GDP), low gas prices,
and a vaccine to end the virus. In a matter of
a few weeks, the market is tanking, millions of
jobs lost, gas prices skyrocketing, and vaccine
shortages and a crisis. Trump 2024!
I think Ill spend my next stimulus check on
testosterone for my daughter so she can better
arm herself to compete against the transgender
males in sports.
A wolf in sheeps clothing is still a wolf. A biological male in womens sports is still a male.
You need to fix this Biden.
Female vice president, one step forward.
Transgender males competing against female
athletes, 10 steps backwards. Equality for
women is in poor hands with this president.

Biden brought new disaster to Mexican border
This column first appeared on FoxNews.com
It was not long ago that illegal crossings
at our southern border were at historic
lows. This was during the Trump administration.
The president accomplished this in part
by obtaining agreements with Mexico,
Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
President Trump also did it by building
the wall that he promised to build to protect
America and slow illegal entry into the United
States. This is a wall that the data clearly
shows works and a wall that the experts on the
border will attest works.
The historic low in illegal border crossings was also due to the Remain in Mexico
Program along with the Title 42 designation
that would require most illegal aliens to be
immediately returned to Mexico because of
the COVID pandemic.
But it doesnt stop there. President
Trump also succeeded by ending catch and
release and removing the enticements that
cause vulnerable people to put themselves in
harms way.
In a little over 40 days, the Biden administration has taken almost every one of these
accomplishments and ended them.
The legal tools and programs that made
our border the most secure I have seen were
systematically destroyed by President Biden
and his administration in an effort to appease
the open borders progressive left.
Once again politics overruled public safety
FOX NEWS COMMENTARY
THOMAS HOMAN FMR. ACTING DIRECTOR ICE
and broader security concerns.
In July 2020, I wrote an op-ed for Fox
News where I predicted that if Biden
became president we would lose control of
our southern border.
I was attacked by many critics who said
that I was using scare tactics to get President
Trump reelected. Those same critics ignored
my almost 35 years spent enforcing immigration law as a Border Patrol agent, special agent
and acting ICE director. My experience meant
nothing. I was just fear-mongering, according
to many.
I have said many things about immigration
and the border since I retired in 2018 and I
challenge anyone to find anything I have said
that hasnt come true.
There is a surge of illegal immigrants at our
border right now and we have already lost
control.
There are over 4,000 apprehensions a
day and an additional 700 to 1,000 gotaways, according to the Border Patrol.
When Jeh Johnson was Homeland Security
secretary under President Obama, he made
the statement that 1,000 arrests a day along the
border is a bad day. Well, we are at four times
that number right now and will soon be at
least five times that when Title 42 ends and
probably much worse.
I believe we will see a surge of illegal immigrants at our southern border that will be
unprecedented.
We must ask ourselves how we went from
an historic low in crossings just a few weeks
ago to a surge of this magnitude. Its simple
and I laid it out in that June 2020 op-ed.
When you make promises and create enticements such as ending the Remain in Mexico
Program and allow people to enter the country
to claim asylum and release them before a
determination is made by a court knowing
that based on the data from DOJ that 88-90%
of Central Americans that claim asylum at
the border never get relief from the courts
because they simply dont qualify or dont
show up in court and you chose to release
them anyway they will begin to surge.
When you allow thousands of unaccompanied children to stream across the border and

Cancel the whiteness out of the Great Classics
It was only a matter of time before Cicero
got canceled.
The New York Times recently profiled
Princeton classicist Dan-el Padilla Peralta,
who wants to destroy the study of classics as a
blow for racial justice.
The critique of classics as stultifying and
privileged isnt new, but in the woke era this
attack is more potent than ever and has a
better chance of demolishing a foundation of
Western education.
At a time when Abraham Lincoln doesnt
pass muster in the progressive precincts
of America, poor benighted Homer, whose
chief subject was toxic masculinity, probably
doesnt stand a chance.
In its report, The Times writes that the critics believe that the study of classics has been
instrumental to the invention of whiteness
and its continued domination. Or as Padilla
himself puts it, Systemic racism is foundational to those institutions that incubate classics and classics as a field itself.
It is rare to find other instances of scholars so consumed with hatred for their own
disciplines that they literally want to destroy
them within. Presumably if an ultra-progressive astrophysicist concludes that his field is
desperately out of touch with social justice
concerns, he simply goes and does something
else for a living rather than agitating to have
students stop learning about space.
One would think Padillas own amazing
personal journey would, in itself, make the
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
case for the wonders of the classics. He came
here as a child from the Dominican Republic,
lived in a homeless shelter in New York City,
discovered a book on Ancient Greece and
Rome — and with help from a mentor, got into
a prep school and went on to get degrees from
Princeton, Oxford and Stanford.
For him, evidently, the classics werent
very exclusionary, and indeed theres no reason that they should be.
The rigors of Greek and Latin, the timeless
questions raised by Plato and Aristotle, the
literary value of some of the most compelling poems, plays and tracts ever written,
the insights of early historians Herodotus
and Thucydides, the oratory of Pericles and
Cicero, the awe-inspiring beauty of the archi-
tecture, sculpture and pottery — all of this is
available to anyone of any race, ethnicity or
creed.
To look at all these marvels and see only
whiteness speaks to a reductive obsession
with race that is destructive, self-defeating
and, in the end, profoundly depressing.
The Times complains that, paraphrasing
critics, Enlightenment thinkers created a
hierarchy with Greece and Rome, coded as
white, on top, and everything else below.
Theres quite a simple reason, though, that
Greece and Rome have been subjects of study
and fascination for so long — their cultural,
political and legal contributions are so vast
and enduring.
The Greeks gave us the example — flawed
and incomplete to be sure — of democracy, and
the Roman stamp is still discernible on our
legal system and institutions.
Western thought and literature have proceeded throughout their history in dialogue
with the classics, constantly interacting with
the arguments, themes and characters of those
long-ago forebears.
This isnt true of other ancient societies.
Of course, the Greeks and Romans were
blinkered, exclusionary, repressive and violent, but who wasnt? Where in the ancient
world did slavery not exist? What society
afforded women equal status with men? Where
did any ruler respect the dignity of all people?

I have a message for Governor Kelly and
President Biden. Me and all the patriots from
January 6 are not anti government. Were anti
bad government. Thank you.
Let me get this straight. When Trump was president and Kamala Harris said she wasnt going to
get the vaccine if Trump told her to, the vaccine
was bad. Now Bidens president, the vaccines
supposed to be good? They say they have a problem distributing the vaccine. They dont have
problems distributing the vaccine. The problem
they have is that all the Democrats (deleted)
on it when it was on Trumps watch. They got
people to actually believe them. This hesitance
to get the vaccine, this is all on the Democrats.
I know things have gone down hill in New York
here the last several years, but how many people do you have to murder up there these days

Toy tractors match men
who owned the real ones
After growing up on
a farm near Richmond,
working for several farmers in the area, and then
being a John Deere parts
man for 30 years, Marvin
Gretencord of Olathe knows
a lot about tractors. Several
years ago, as he looked over
his extensive collection of
toy tractors, he realized he
had numerous ones that are
models of real tractors he
once drove or at least knew
about.
Most important are a
1949 JD A like his father,
Antone Lank Gretencord,
farmed with, and a Case
that was his fatherin-laws, Lee Martin.
He could easily pair
a model tractor with
Frank Cox, Kenneth
Cunningham, Preston
Stockard, Leonard
and Allen DeGarmo
and Sandy Sims.
Marvin worked for all
of these men at one
time and knew their
tractors well.
There are other
models matched with
the farmers who
owned them, about 30 of
them, that will be the new
display at the Richmond.
PHOTO…
FROM PAGE 1
on the NOAAs Photo Collections website as a bogus photo from South Dakota
around the same period.
But still, the photo remains one of
Garnetts true claims to fame.
The photo, taken by A.A. Adams of
Garnett, was taken in Garnett April
26, 1884, and shows a tornado that
was about 14 miles away. Adams was
standing near the United Presbyterian
Church in Garnett, at the intersection
of Fifth and Walnut, which is now the
site of the Thelma Moore Community
Playhouse.
An inspection of the photo shows
its image was enhanced by a process
known as dodging over exposing
parts of the picture to make it look darker and stand out more. But the image
itself is held to be legitimate and backed
up by historical accounts of a long, slow
buildup to a major storm on that day.
Area residents had plenty of time
to prepare for the storm, according to
the article on the Kansas Historical
Societys website, written by Rebecca
Martin in July 2011. Weather officials
watched a massive but slow-moving
storm roll into Kansas from Colorado.
At about 5:30 p.m. April 26, Garnett residents saw a funnel cloud in the western
sky, near Westphalia.
Adams, a farmer and amateur photographer, was able to assemble his box
camera and capture the long, rope-like
funnel. He later sold souvenir cabinet
cards and stereographs of the image,
but a photographer in South Dakota
took a more dramatic photograph of
three cyclones just four months later.
That more dramatic photo was advertised as the first photographed cyclone,
and experts now believe it may have
been altered, according to Martins article.
Modern meteorologists have corroborated claims that Adams photo is
actually the first known photograph of
a tornado, Martins story says.

Platt, and other new pieces.
The Museum wants to
add family hand-me-downs
and copies of funeral folders, obituaries, pictures and
newspaper clippings of all

Program about Richmond
Buildings
Many hours of research
and picture editing by
Dennis Peters went into
producing a Show and
Tell program about 70 or
so Richmond Buildings.
However, then came COVID
and the program has not yet
been presented.
However, that will
change over Memorial Day
weekend. Peters will present the Richmond Buildings
program Sunday, May 30th,
at 3 p.m. The Museum will
open that afternoon at 1
oclock. With no admission
charge.
The program may be
given a couple of times
5A
LOCAL
during the Richmond Free
Fair July 8-10 and perhaps
another time or two during
the summer in hopes those
attending will not number
more than allowed for the
space.
This Power Point program is possible because
of the gift of digital equipment from Beachner Grain.
After reading the Museum
needed these pieces, Gary
Beachner quickly responded to help the Museum. A
new, large screen was purchased with a grant from
Franklin Co. Visitors
Center, so the show can now
take place. The Richmond
Museum is grateful for all
the donations and help.
Plan to attend the
Richmond Main Street program sometime this summer. Show times will be
publicized.

FROM PAGE 4A
A key difference between
the Greeks and Romans and
the rest was that their writers
critiqued and lampooned their
own societies. This willingness to engage in self-criticism
became one of the hallmarks,
and strengths, of Western culture.
The critics give the Greeks
and the Romans the same treatment as the American project,
ignoring what was exceptional
about them for a monomaniacal focus on their failings, even
if the failings were commonplace everywhere else.
They want to impoverish
American college students and
ultimately the Western mind
in an act of ideological destruction. This is galling enough;
its even worse that they call it
progress.

HISTORY
2001: Feasibility study
determines prospects
of ethanol plant
March 2011
Chris Ripper, new general manager for Astro Truck
Covers, came about a month
ago with the goal of improving employee turnover and
morale, and instead finds himself tasked with keeping the
company going in light of an
overnight fire that destroyed
the business main manufacturing building in Garnett.
Officials and employees expect
to begin modified levels of production as early as this week,
using a smaller building on the
property. The cause of the fire
has not yet been determined,
but investigators have ruled
out arson.
March 2001
A prefeasibility study
designed to determine whether
a closer look is warranted for
the prospects of a local ethanol
plant has shown that a full
feasibility study should be pursued, and a private local organization has already formed
with hopes to shepherd that
effort. A preliminary report
gives a theoretical plant site in
Garnett a score of 108 according to an evaluation matrix
for aspects deemed by industry
analysis. Scores over 100 are
deemed to be excellent.

in getting through one wall of

and ran through the back door
with nothing.

LOCAL
A chance meeting leads to local living life Somewhere Over the Rainbow
When Sheryl (Neblock)
Bauchwitz
of
Eiserfey,
Germany, was growing up in
this area of Kansas, she loved
the song Somewhere Over the
Rainbow, as
did many others. But back
then, she had
no idea just
how meaningful
the
song would
become to her
Bauchwitz
many years
later. Now,
from
her
adopted home in Germany, she
considers herself a true embodiment of the song.
Sheryl spent her middle and
high school years living on a
farm between Princeton and
Richmond, attending Central
Heights School, and living the
life of a girl from . . . Over
the Rainbow. It fit her perfectly. Now, 43 years after her
1977 high school graduation,
with two degrees from Kansas
State University, and 21 years
of teaching school in Germany,
this Rainbow Girl loves to
return and soak up as much
of Kansas and Missouri as she
can.
Drawing on wonderful experiences in 4-H and FFA, Sheryl
knew she wanted to attend
Kansas State and become a
vocational agriculture instructor. She did her Student
Teaching in Erie, KS under the
watchful eye of Wilbur Buntin.
That was quite a change from
her elementary school years
in Johnson County, but Sheryl
was the energetic, high-energy country girl through and
through.
It was while she was in the
K-State Pride Marching Band
that she met Peter Bauchwitz,
a young man who played guitar and sang in a band from
Germany that was visiting Ft.
Riley. Band members from
both bands had a great time
socializing in Aggieville! How
Sheryl's life changed after that
evening is an adventure that
led her "over the rainbow".
With a wedding soon after
receiving her BS in agricultural education, it was then off
to Germany to live. She knew
there were no vocational ag
classes or anything similar
to the K-State Research and
Extension Service in Germany,
so she taught international
high school students, mainly
children of Embassy personnel
at the Dept. of Defense School
at Bonn from 1982-88, completing a masters degree in adult
education on the K-State campus in 1985.
When her two sons were
the right age, she returned to
teaching in 2005 and has been
at a comprehensive school
in nearby Mechernich, a city
about the size of Ottawa ever
since. I love the village of
Eiserfey where I live, and the
whole area, said Sheryl. I call
it the German Ozarks because
it is so similar to that part of
Missouri. The main crops are
wheat, barley and sugar beets
(for cattle feed) and there are
lots of dairy cattle.
Although her younger years
were spent in Overland Park,
Sheryl truly loved living in
Franklin County. She still talks
about her 4-H steer projects,
playing softball at Princeton,
attending 4-H and FFA activities at local clubs, even going
to Rock Springs Ranch near
Junction City for State FFA
Camp in 1977. During high
school she often visited the
K-State campus when in FFA,
and most important, she still
enjoys visiting all the wonderful people here in her "old
neighborhood".
Though her father, Vaughn
Neblock, passed away in 2003,
she has returned almost every
year to visit her mother, Wilma
Neblock, now 92, in Lees
Summit, MO. Theres also her
sister and husband, Rebecca
and John Fisher, nieces, cousins, aunts and uncles and dear
friends of many years. Vaughn
worked for many years as a
coffee taster for Folger's Coffee
and later founded his own coffee trading company, which
now a days is being run by
the second generation of family
cousins.
A visit back to Kansas
City always includes a trip to
Franklin County to see people shes known since middle school, the older generation such as Martha Yancey
of Ottawa and Dorothy
Cunningham, until Dorothy
passed away a few years ago.
Several high school friends
are still in the area: Calvin
Pearson, Rita Regan, Jim
Wakeman, and others. Sheryl
has driven to Wichita to see
Kem Strobel, to Topeka to visit
with Donna (Knight) MathenaMenke, and this year to Fargo,
ND, to see Becky (Vining)
Koch. En route she visited her
high school ag instructor Don
Benjamin who now lives near
Omaha and works for the U. S.
Dept. of Agriculture.
She kept in touch with her
much-loved Central Heights
music teacher Maurice Bottom
in Kansas City until he passed
away in 2013, and there are
others, too. Several times shes
visited Central Heights School
where she found Bud Welch
and Tom Horstick, both now
retired, and usually others she
remembers.
Theres always a trip to
Manhattan to drive around the
campus and see how it and
Aggieville have changed, and
to visit her advisor, mentor
and friend Dr. Richard Welton.
Many of the family summer
vacations with her sons took
place at Table Rock Lake, in
the rolling Ozark hills, where
her parents lived, lakeside, for
18 years.
At her mothers home this
past summer, Sheryl collected
numerous pictures and keepsakes from her school years
and farm life. Theres one of
the softball team with her dad
and the late Bud Schaub as
coaches, one showing tears
running down her cheeks as
she sold her Franklin County
4-H champion Shorthorn steer
in 1973, of high school proms,
and many other good times.
Ill always miss the States,
said Sheryl, but Germany is
my home now and where my
sons are. After all, shes lived
there nearly 40 years.
She added she lives about
45 minutes from Cologne, a
city much like Kansas City,
full of historical, cultural
and interesting places and
events that can fill ones life
for many years. And home
to the breathtaking Cologne
Cathedral "It's 773 years old
and one of the most beautiful and inspiring medieval
churches I have even been in!"
The architecture is similar to
the Bremen Cathedral, where
Sheryl and her family spent
many Christmas Eve services.
Taking a six-month sabbatical from teaching in 2020,
Sheryl had much more time
on her last visit home to see
people and places, to explore
and get to know the Kansas
City area, seeing and learning much she had not known
before. Some new experiences included outdoor concerts
by the Kansas City Symphony
Orchestra, organized across
the parks in the Greater
Kansas City area because of
covid. And KC barbeque is
always a must!
Though much is different
in Germany, there are a few
things that are similar to the
States, she said. People love to
travel and they love to eat
and drink their locally-brewed
beer.
Life with COVID, though, is
being handled differently and
even though the country has
had its low marks and spikes,
the attitude towards wearing
masks and maintaining distance according to regulations
is taken very seriously. For
example, schools in Germany
were open in the fall, but with
increasing numbers of covid
cases, lockdown came in late
December with all the schools
currently in Online Learning.
Sheryl has taught nearly
every grade level in her school,
changing at times to meet the
needs, just as teachers here do.
School is from 7:30 am to 3
pm. There are no more than 28
students in each class and the
classwork is fairly demanding.
I always teach an English
class or two, some biology, and
many different shop classes
including woodworking, metalwork, and renewable energy,
which is taught starting in 5th
grade, she explained. Three
out of seven technology teachers at the school are women.
I love teaching, just as I
always loved learning, and still
do, is her motto.
Sons David and Lucas chose
the vocational paths in school
and have successful careers.
David, 32, is a caregiver for
handicapped adults and Lucas,
30, is a chef who has worked
in restaurants all over Europe
and in Australia. Sheryl has
been fortunate to travel with
him to some fantastic locations, including New Zealand.

Osawatomie pulls away late – ends Bulldogs season
WELLSVILLE – The Anderson
County Lady Bulldogs opened
their sub-state play with an
opening round win over West
Franklin, then a second round
victory over upset-minded
Wellsville before bowing out
in the sub-state championship game as Osawatomie put
Anderson County away with
a dominating performance in
the fourth quarter.
In round 1, the #3 seed
Bulldogs downed #6 seed West
Franklin 62-30 at home.
Anderson County took control early and never looked
back. The Bulldogs outscored
West Franklin 17-5 in the first
quarter and led 32-19 at halftime.
They would completely
blow the game wide open in
the second half outpacing West
Franklin 19-8 in the third quarter and 11-3 in the fourth.
As has been the story for
much of the season, Anderson
County controlled the inside
game outscoring their opponent 34-8 inside the paint.
Cali Foltz connected for 24
points and Rayna Jasper added
23 to go along with 6 steals.
Foltz joined Jasper in the
1,000 point club in the substate
opener.
In their second round game
against Wellsville, Anderson
County scored a 48-37 come
from behind win over the seventh seeded squad. Wellsville
(3-16) knocked off #2 seed
Bishop Ward (11-3) in the opening round.
Anderson County held a
slim 10-9 lead after the first
quarter and were in for a real
dog fight as they trailed 23-17
heading into the locker room at
halftime.
The Bulldogs chipped away
at the Wellsville lead, but still
found themselves trailing
entering the fourth.
Wellsville struggled in
the final frame, as Anderson
County pulled away for a 46-37
victory.
Foltz led the way again with
16 points, Jasper chipped in
with 12.

Hey Mr. Hicks, you should

point how the season ended,
Coach Amy Disbrow was proud
of her team.
Disbrow said, We finished
the season 18-4, with only one
loss of a scheduled game (normal year we would be at 23
games) and we are very grateful
for that in this turbulent year.
We secured the league title
with our win at home against
Osawatomie (11-1 in league)
and for the second year in a
row were the Substate championship runners-up. Having two
Seniors, Rayna Jasper and Cali
Foltz hit the 1,000 point mark
was really something special.
It has not been accomplished
in the last 19 years. These two
hard-working, athletic ladies
will be incredibly missed both
as leaders on the offensive
and defensive sides. Katie
Schmit, Senior, played a versatile role with us playing both
forward and guard. MaKenzie
Kueser, Senior, also provided
quick and aggressive defense.
Marah Lutz, Senior, also provided versatility playing both
forward and guard positions.
We also had Seniors Kameron
Simpson, Hailey Gillespie and
Madolyn Honn contributing
throughout the season in various roles in the team that made
us better every day. We had
three freshman that stepped up
in a big way making varsity
contributions, starters Caitlyn
Foltz and Kylie Disbrow. Both
had tremendous growth this
season making huge impacts
in rebounding and defense.
Addie Fudge also was put in
some difficult positions this
year playing guard, primarily
backing up our point guard.
She stepped up every time we
asked her without hesitation.
We cant wait to see the growth
as these three freshman roles
evolve into next season.
You name it, we print it.

Now Mississippi, Alabama,
Iowa and all those other states

you for standing up for freedom.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 3-9-2021 / SUBMITTED
Cali Foltz (left) and Rayna Jasper both scored their 1,000th point in
their Anderson County careers recently. They are the first Bulldogs
to reach the milestone since Lexee McDonnell, who graduated in
2002, did it.
Bulldog boys win opener
in OT, lose in 2nd round
WELLSVILLE – Anderson
County (4th seed, 10-8) knocked
off Osawatomie (5th seed, 9-10)
in the opening round before
losing in lopsided fashion to
Wellsville in round 2.
Anderson County opened up
with a 58-57 overtime thriller.
The score was knotted at 50
heading into overtime before
the Bulldogs stretched the lead
out to 58-53 with just over a
minute left before Osawatomie
rallied. They had a chance to
tie it back up in the final sec-
onds but a missed free throw
sealed the win for Anderson
County.
The second round against
Wellsville was a struggle all
night. Anderson County trailed
10-5 after the first, but things
would only get worse from that
point.
Wellsville outscored AC 20-4
in the second quarter and 20-11
in the third quarter to open
up a commanding 50-20 lead
enroute to a 57-29 win.

2016 budget year. It was later
revised to $18.3 million based
on the then selling price of ethanol product and determining
a sale price per gallon for the
plants output. EKAE officials
maintained early on that certain assets of the plant assessed
as real property by the county
should instead be taxed as personal property, which brought
the plants value more toward
the $7 million mark.
EKAE has paid its taxes
under protest since 2016, but
the taxing districts that have
received the money by virtue of
their property tax levies have
predominantly held the funds
in reserve to pay all or a portion of it back should the eventual appeal go in EKAEs favor.

How to influence the influencers
I got an oversized postcard
in the mail the other day from
a roofing contractor who obviously wanted to sell me a new
roof. I threw the card away.
Why?
I threw it away for a couple of reasons, and if youre
a small business looking for
ways to sell more of your
products and services (which
I assume is why youre reading this) I want you to explore
those reasons with me.
For starters the roof on my
house and the one on my office
building are both just a few
years old, so Im not in the market. Secondly, I didnt know the
company never heard of them
before. Roofing companies can
be dubious, and I wasnt about
to spend $20,000 based just on
a postcard. In short, they had
little or no influence on me.
Everything you buy is a
result of influence of one kind
or another. Youre hungry, so
you buy a hamburger; but you
dont go to the place where you
found the hair in your French
fries that one time. Theres a
new burger place youve seen
coupons for in the paper and
your buddy told you was really
good.
Hunger is an influencer. The
hair in the French fries was an
influencer. The coupons for the
new place and your buddys
recommendation were both
influencers. But probably the
biggest influencers were your
buddy and well that hair.
We all know negativity carries
more weight than positivity. A
bad experience at your business is hard to get over, and

pivotal points along the way.
Just remember two things:
Avoid bad influence by making
great customer experiences;
and generate good influence
by building relationships with
critical people. By understanding influence and its effect on
your business, you can sell
more stuff.
many customers never will.
Likewise, a referral from someone you trust, for that business
he referred, is worth its weight
in gold.
So the key to developing
your sales is to influence the
influencer.
If I owned a restaurant, Id
have a drawing every week
among all the convenience
store clerks within a 5-block
area for a free meal. Why? How
many times do you think someone passing through your town
has stopped at a convenience
store and asked the clerk do
you know of a good restaurant in town? There may be
a number of places to eat in
your town, but I want mine to
be top-of-mind among those
clerks who influence that traffic.
Influencers by definition
always have the assumption of
credibility, and theres something about them that puts
them in the position of influence over your product or your
customers. To identify them,
you sort of have to walk backwards along the path of one of
your sales and examine who

Enrollment ends March 15 for Agriculture Risk
Coverage, Price Loss Coverage Programs
Agricultural producers who
have not yet enrolled in the
Agriculture Risk Coverage
(ARC) or Price Loss Coverage
(PLC) programs for 2021 must
do so by March 15. Producers
who have not yet signed a
2021 enrollment contract or
who want to make an election
change should contact their
local USDA Farm Service
Agency (FSA) office to make
an appointment. Program
enrollment for 2021 is required
in order to participate in the
programs, but elections for the
2021 crop year are optional and
otherwise remain the same as
elections made for 2020.
FSA offices have multiple
programs competing for the
time and attention of our staff.
Because of the importance and
complexities of the ARC and
PLC programs, and to ensure
we meet your program delivery expectations, please do not
wait to start the enrollment
process, said FSA Acting
Administrator Steve Peterson.
I cannot emphasize enough
the need to begin the program
election and enrollment process now. This process can be
completed when applying for
other FSA programs as well.
ARC and PLC provide
income support to farmers
from substantial drops in crop
prices or revenues and are vital
economic safety nets for most
American farms.
Although 1,033,310 contracts
have been completed to date,
this represents less than 59%
of the more than 1.7 million
contracts anticipated by the
Agency. By enrolling soon, producers can beat the rush as the
deadline nears.
Producers who do not complete enrollment by close of
business local time on Monday,
March 15 will not be enrolled
in ARC or PLC for the 2021 crop
year and will be ineligible to
receive a payment should one
trigger for an eligible crop.
ARC and PLC contracts can
be emailed, faxed or physically
signed and mailed back to FSA.
Producers with level 2 eauthentication access can electronically sign contracts. Service
Center staff can also work with
producers to sign and securely
transmit contracts electronically through two commercially available tools: Box and
OneSpan. You can learn more
about these solutions at farmers.gov/mydocs. Producers
may also make arrangements
to drop off signed contracts at
the FSA county office. Please
call ahead for local mailing
or drop off information and
options for submitting signed
contracts electronically.
Producers are eligible to
enroll farms with base acres
for the following commodities:
barley, canola, large and small
chickpeas, corn, crambe, flaxseed, grain sorghum, lentils,
mustard seed, oats, peanuts,
dry peas, rapeseed, long grain
rice, medium- and short-grain
rice, safflower seed, seed cotton, sesame, soybeans, sunflower seed and wheat.
Yield Data and Web-Based
Decision Tools Available
FSA recently updated the
annual and benchmark yields
for ARC/PLC program years
2019, 2020 and 2021. This data is
useful to producers in choosing
to participate in either ARC or
PLC.
For added assistance with
ARC and PLC decisions, USDA
partnered with the University
of Illinois and Texas A&M
University to offer web-based
decision tools to assist producers in making informed,
educated decisions using crop
data specific to their respective farming operations. Tools
include:
Gardner-farmdoc Payment
Calculator, the University of
Illinois tool that offers farmers
the ability to run payment estimate modeling for their farms
and counties for ARC-County
and PLC.
ARC and PLC Decision Tool,
the Texas A&M tool that allow
producers to analyze payment
yield updates and expected
payments for 2019 and 2020.
Producers who have used the
tool in the past should see their
username and much of their
farm data will already be available in the system.
Crop Insurance Considerations
Producers are reminded that enrolling in ARC or
PLC programs can impact eligibility for some crop insurance products. Producers who
elect and enroll in PLC also
have the option of purchasing
Supplemental Coverage Option
(SCO) through their Approved
Insurance Provider. Producers
of covered commodities who
elect ARC are ineligible for
SCO on their planted acres.
Unlike
SCO,
RMAs
Enhanced Coverage Option
(ECO) is unaffected by participating in ARC for the same
crop, on the same acres. You
may elect ECO regardless of
your farm program election.
Upland cotton farmers who
choose to enroll seed cotton
base acres in ARC or PLC
are ineligible for the stacked
income protection plan (STAX)
on their planted cotton acres.
More Information
For more information on
ARC and PLC including webbased decision tools, visit farmers.gov/arc-plc.
All USDA Service Centers
are open for business, including those that restrict in-person visits or require appointments. All Service Center visitors wishing to conduct business with NRCS, Farm Service

open for appointments will prescreen visitors based on health
concerns or recent travel, and
visitors must adhere to social

Americans will not get asylum

a few hundred thousand, actually left as ordered by a federal
judge.
What happens to them now?
They will all get amnesty
based on the new Biden amnesty bill despite the fact they
entered the country illegally, lost their case, were order

order and becoming a fugitive?
Amnesty.
Yes, this email is all about
processing people as quickly
as possible and releasing them
into the interior of the United
States.
The email was all about assisting those who will commit
immigration fraud and defy a
court order.
This is about the U.S. government completing the criminal conspiracy of smuggling
by delivering children to those
who conspire with criminal
cartels to have their children
smuggled here which is a felony.
The
result?
Its
an
unsecured southern border, with cartels making millions a day and
lives are being put at
risk in some cases being
lost making that dangerous
journey, all because of those
promises made by the Biden
administration.
Tragedy
already struck in California
when an SUV carrying over
25 recently smuggled people
crashed and killed 13. This is
just the beginning.
Whats missing in this
leaked email? There is no mention of consequence and no
deterrence even talked about
to gain control of the border, even though it is written
by and for Immigration and
Customs ENFORCEMENT, a
law enforcement agency.
There
is
absolutely no talk about enforcing our laws and ensuring that those who entered illegally are held accountable.
Illegal aliens will continue
to put themselves in harms
way to cross into our country because they know if they
break our laws and hide out
long enough, they will be
rewarded.
They know that the Biden
administration does not
enforce our immigration laws
and that ICE has been ordered
to not arrest those who are just
here illegally.
They know they can work
here in the U.S. illegally
because ICE can no longer conduct worksite investigations.
Remember this: When the
Border Patrol is tied up with
an unprecedented humanitarian crisis on the border it quickly becomes a national security
issue.
During the last surge, when
almost half of the Border Patrol
was no longer on the border
because they were taking care
of thousands of family units,
enough opioids came across
the border to kill over 62,000
Americans.
When the border is half
protected that is when gang
members, criminals and those
who want to harm this country
escape apprehension.
This is not just an immigration issue and a humanitarian
issue, but also a national security issue.

When you can no longer

release them as soon as possible, they will come.
When you promise mass

of DACA with citizenship, they

An email that was written
by Tim Perry, chief of staff at
ICE, to leadership at the agency
was leaked on Feb. 12.
Ive seen the email. It gave
instructions to ICE leadership
that included what Perry
called DHS Secretary Alejand
ro Mayorkas vision. The
19 bullet points contained in
the email are self-explanatory.
However, let me summarize
them.
The current leadership of
ICE is actively planning for an
out-of-control situation at the
border and already calling it a
surge.
There are instructions to
leaders to spend whatever
money is needed to transport
those who cross into the U.S.
illegally into the interior of the
country and release them as
soon as possible.
They are instructed to end
contracts for detention that
actually have detention standards and try to contract with
Target to get detention capacity
at man camps that are typically
used to house oil field workers and have no ICE detention
standards at all.
Perry also instructs the leadership team that sworn officers
and fences are to be avoided.
After all, we cant have anything that look like it is an
enforcement operation because
the progressives think that is
bad.
The
leadership
team
instructs that they want social
services and mass release
on ATD (Alternatives to
Detention), even though the
ICE website clearly shows
about one-third of the people
on ATD quickly abscond and
only about 3% of people actual-

Shots of Spring – A welcome sight after a blast of winter and a year of the virus
Greg Doering, Kansas Farm
Bureau
A perfect spring day has a
bright blue sky, just the right
amount of heat, a light breeze
and an almost unnoticeable
humidity. Its always a welcome sight after winter, but
especially after Mother Nature
treats everyone to two weeks of
below-freezing temperatures.
All of that is on top of months
of pandemic-induced cabin
fever.
Yes, its safe to say Im ready
for spring for all the usual reasons: green grass, blooming
flowers and trees, longer days
and anticipation of summer.
But this year the normal sense
of renewal that comes with a
dose of spring is heightened by
the widespread distribution of
vaccines that will let us return
to living our lives in a more
normal fashion.
At this point, all of this will
happen sooner rather than
later. Somethings are never
going back the way they were
before. Thats good for some
things, like remote work or
more people buying their food
directly from farmers and
ranchers. These are the benefits that will stay with us long
after everyone has had their
chance to get a shot.
For everything else to
return, however, getting needles in every willing arm as fast
as possible is the ticket back to
the good life. I understand why
some people are wary of taking
one of these shots. Two of the
three vaccines are based on a
relatively new technology, and
they were developed four times
faster than any previous inoculation.
Again, I understand wanting to be cautious, but I believe
the rapid development of these
vaccines is an achievement to
be celebrated. A combination
of government incentives and
private enterprise combined to
deliver doses of a safe and effective antidote to a modern-day
plague in less than a year.
It will take more time to
see the full benefits of these
vaccines, but early results in
reducing the risk of death and
hospitalizations are encouraging. Anecdotal reports from
friends and family whove
received their shots have also
been positive. This is a rev-
olutionary development in
humans fight against disease.
That message has been
somewhat muddled because
caution and mitigation efforts
are still necessary. Vaccine
supply constraints and the
lead time needed before theyre
fully effective require continued vigilance. But production
is ramping up, and so is the
pace of doses going into arms.
But with each passing day
were getting closer to reaching
critical mass, closer to the end
of this pandemic.
Closer to hearing the hum
of a crowded restaurant on a
Friday night. Closer to watching the latest movie in a theater. Closer to boarding airplanes and collecting passport
stamps. Closer to concerts,
sporting events and celebrations disrupted over the past
year.
Just as a good dose of spring
makes us quickly forget the
chill of winter, a shot or two
this season will get us to the
other side of the pandemic by
summer. And I expect it will
be as glorious as feeling a shot
of sunshine during a perfect
spring day.

The history behind Richmonds 3 grain elevators Hendersons 100th birthday
by Dennis Peters
The best way to start
is to give some history
leading to the need of an
elevator. The Richmond
Enterprise in 1936 published the history of the
Richmond
Farmers
Cooperative, Assn. Here
is part of what it had to
say.
In 1911 a particularly
dry year, with very little grain or vegetables
raised, the farmers of the
Richmond territory conceived the idea of buying in carload lots, each
one taking his share,
and in that way getting
advantage of the quantity
price.
Thus, the foundation
was laid for the Farmers
Co-operative Mercantile
Society. The practice
grew to such an extent
that it soon became evident that a warehouse or
storage building would
be required to handle the
business of the group, so
on Feb. 14, 1914 a stock
company was formed. A
warehouse was built with
trackage on the Santa Fe
right of way.
The business of the
Society continued to
increase steadily. In 1919
a grain elevator was
built for the storage end
of the business. In 1920
the present store building
was erected and in 1922
an addition was built to the
elevator. 1924 saw the addition
of a granary at the elevator and
an additional warehouse was
built. In 1930 the D. R. Sisler
elevator was acquired rounding out the elevator facilities.
These two elevators continued to take care of the area
farmers for the next twenty
years. The need arose for a larger more modern facility, in 1950
the large concrete elevator was
Leola Henderson will celebrate her 100th Birthday on
March 11, 2021.
Leola was born in
Ringwood, OK to Elmer and
Ida (Volz) McDermeit on
March 11, 1921.
She attended Northwestern
State College in Alva, OK.
She has had an active life
including working at North
America Aviation in Kansas
City, MO, which produced
the B-25 Bomber, a key weapon in World War II that
launched the first attack on
Main Land Imperial Japan.
After the war, Leola and her
father owned and operated
a restaurant in Colony, KS
called the Chuck Wagon.
She

Paul
V.
Henderson, himself a World
War II Normandy survivor,
in 1947. From that union,
came one child, Dr. David
V. Henderson, who along
with his wife Edna StarkHenderson, owned and operated a private medical practice in Garnett, KS for 28
years. Leola and Paul resided
in Iola, KS where she worked
at Maloneys Greenhouse
for years as well as being a
homemaker active in many
church, school, and community functions.
erected. As it came into use
the other two changed uses the
first mostly just storage and
the second became a feed mill.
I do want to add a little on the
second elevators beginnings.
The article only mentioned that
it was acquired in 1930 from D.
R. Sisler. He had moved that
elevator to that location in 1928
to be closer to the railroad. In
1920 he had purchased 8 acres
north of South Street and west
of 59 Highway and
built a feed lot. That is
the area the elevator
was moved from.
By 1992 the railroad had abandoned
the line through
Richmond. The elevators were
purchased by Beachner Grain
that year. As the first elevator
served no real purpose and in
bad repair it was taken down
several years later. As times

change, so do the needs, and the
second was no longer needed as
a feed mill. It still stands, but is
not in use. Today only the third
is still being used.
Richmond Fair back to traditional format for 2021
The Richmond
Free Fair, set
for July 8-10,
will return to
its usual format
of competition,
afternoon games,
the parade and
everything as
usual, said Fair
board president
Sarah
Peters.
Last years fair
was 4-H competition only with no
extra activities
of any kind, due to COVID.
Unless state requirements
change, this year will be back
to the traditional fair, continued Peters.
The theme for the parade
will be Keeping the Dream
Alive, referring to the contin-
uation of this, the 97th annual fair. Parade marshals, who
were selected last year but
there was no parade, will be
Dean and Pat Kueser. Their
yard is used yearly by hundreds of folks who watch the
parade go up and down main
street.
The fair
book is in the
process
of
being printed, using the
book that did
not happen
last
year.
Without additional advertising being
added, contributions to
help with fair
premiums
will be especially appreciated,
said fair officers.
Questions should be directed
to Sarah Peters or Laurinda
Sobba who is livestock superintendent. Watch for fair books
at distribution points or ask at
your county Extension office
which will have fair books as
soon as they are available.
Getting back to normal is the
goal of everyone everywhere,
and the Richmond Free Fair is
glad to be part of that community scene.
