Storms pack wallop
Social distancing
means curb service for
fresh market goods
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The Garnett
Farmers Market opened for
its season of regular Thursday
night events last week with
a new drive-thru motif due to
Covid-19.
Garnett
Community
Development Director Susan
Wettstein said organizers set
up the plan to coincide with
the Phase 1 state reopening
plan ordered May 3 by Kansas
Governor Laura Kelly. The
plan, which extends at least
through May 18, prohibits
gatherings of more than 10 people and maintains previously
adopted policies of social distancing of at least six feet.
Wettstein said customer
vehicles can enter the market
by turning onto Main Street
at 4th Avenue on the east side
of the Prairie Spirit Rail Trail.
The farmers market vendors
will be set up in the vacant
lot south of Dons Automotive.
Visitors to the farmers market
will need to stay in their vehicles and vendors will come to
them.
The governors plan calls
for continued prohibition of
larger crowds and maintaining social distancing through
at least June 1.
Like years past, market
items will include locally
grown fruits and vegetables,
freshly baked breads, cookies
and pies, homemade jams, salsas and sauces, meat, poultry
and eggs, bedding plants, flowers and more.
Operating hours will be 4:30
p.m.- 7 p.m. each Thursday
through October 8. For more

the Garnett Farmers Market,

Numerous reports of
property damage
follow first spring storm
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GREELEY Some residents
in the northern areas of
Anderson County were cleaning up debris and flipping vehicles and trailers back upright
after rain, high winds and an
extensive hail storm battered
the area early last week.
Weather service analysts
said the black storm formed
in the Reading area and swept
southwest through Richmond,
Greeley and Harris around 9:30
a.m. Monday morning May 4
and continued south and east.
Anderson County Emergency
Preparedness Director J.D.
Mersman said the storm damage focused north of 1700 Road
and that no injuries were
reported locally.
The same system however
killed a 71 year-old woman in
Adrian, Mo., when it buffeted
the Bates County town shortly after hammering Anderson
County.
Parts of the Greeley area
reported rainfall totals of 2.252.5 inches within the storm
period which lasted a little
more than an hour. The system included a sweeping hail
storm lasting several minutes
that peppered homes, vehicles
and outbuildings with persimmon-sized hail stones.
What we found during our
survey was basically a strip
of wind and hail from roughly 1700 road north from near
Harris all the way to the Linn
County line, Mersman said.
Multiple homes with hail
damage and wind damage. A
couple shop style buildings
with major wind damage near
Harris.
The storm shut down a
15-mile stretch of I-70 from
Manhattan to Wamego after
downed power lines and utility poles made the roadway
impassable. The storm pushed
through the Kansas City area
with an 80 mph gust recorded at
the Johnson County Executive
Airport between Olathe and
Overland Park. Baseball tennis ball sized hail was reported
in Abilene and Lincoln and
parts of Coffey County. More
than 50,000 power outages
were reported in the Kansas
City area.
The system pushed southeast and eventually caused
havoc near the Arkansas/
Missouri border, blowing
semis off the road and damaging numerous structures.
Kansas logged 85 tornadoes
in 2019, none of which resulted
in loss of life. Governor Laura
Kelly said in a March address
Popularity of biking spikes with good weather
Kansas Baseball League (EKBL) and
the Twin Rivers Softball League
(TRSL) held an online meeting with
WICHITA Just like residents all over the state,
Kansas stay-at-home order had Garnett residents largely home-bound until last week and
schools closed through the rest of the school year.
However, people have been allowed to engage
in outdoor activities, as long as proper physical
distancing is practiced.
This new reality finds individuals, children,
parents and families dusting off bicycles and
lacing up walking shoes to head outside for fresh
air and exercise. It is important for all bicyclists
and pedestrians to review proper safety tips and
take necessary precautions to make these outdoor
activities as safe as possible.
According to the Kansas Department of
Transportation (KDOT), there were 356 bicyclists
involved in crashes in the state in 2018, resulting
in 5 deaths and 314 injuries. Nationally, there
were 857 bicyclists killed in motor vehicle crashes
in 2018, a more than six percent increase from the
previous year, according to the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

ACHS sets graduation
GARNETT With the governors reopening plan for
Kansas now underway after
a forced state shutdown in
March, area school board
members and school administrations are broaching the
rescheduling of local high
school graduations later this
summer.
USD 365 in Garnett announced
Friday its plan to conduct the Class
of 2020 graduation at 8 p.m. June 26

Managment Agency lists the
following reminders for those
of us living in tornado-prone
areas:
Prepare NOW
Know your areas tornado
risk. In the U.S., the Midwest
and the Southeast have a greater risk for tornadoes.
Know the signs of a tornado, including a rotating, funnel-shaped cloud; an approaching cloud of debris; or a loud
roarsimilar to a freight train.
Sign up for your communitys warning system. The
Emergency Alert System (EAS)
and National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) Weather Radio also
provide emergency alerts. If
your community has sirens,
then become familiar with the
warning tone.
Pay attention to weather
reports. Meteorologists can
predict when conditions might
be right for a tornado.
Identify and practice going
to a safe shelter, while following the latest social and
physical-distancing and other
health safety guidelines from
the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention and your local
health authorities, in the event
of high winds, such as a safe
room built using FEMA criteria or a storm shelter built to
ICC 500 standards. The next
best protection is a small, interior, windowless room on the
lowest level of a sturdy building.
If you must go to a community or group shelter during
severe weather, take hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes to
clean, disinfect, deodorize and
remove allergens from surfaces.
Try to keep a safe distance
away from others in the shelter
if at all possible.
Survive DURING
Immediately go to a safe
location that you identified.
Take additional cover by
shielding your head and neck
with your arms and putting
materials such as furniture
and blankets around you.
Listen to EAS, NOAA
Weather Radio, or local alert-
ing systems for current emergency information and instructions.
Do not try to outrun a tornado in a vehicle.
If you are in a car or outdoors and cannot get to a building, cover your head and neck
with your arms and cover your
body with a coat or blanket, if
possible.

BIKING…
FROM PAGE 1
Spring is here and bicycles
are back, more than ever, especially with schools closed and
Kansas residents staying at
home much more, says Shawn
Steward, manager of Public
and Government Affairs for
AAA Kansas. Outdoor exercise has always been permitted and encouraged, making
bike riding an option for many
while practicing proper physical distancing. AAA urges
all bicyclists to review Kansas
bike laws and review basic
safety tips to avoid injury.
AAA Bike Safety Reminders
Always wear a helmet.
For guidance on fitting a helmet, see the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administrations
Fitting Your Bike Helmet.
Maintain your bike. Before
riding, inflate tires properly and check that the brakes
work.
Make yourself visible. No
matter the time of day, make
yourself visible to others. Wear
neon, fluorescent or other
bright colors when riding, to be
most easily seen. Wear something that reflects light, such as
reflective tape or markings, or
flashing lights.
Look for hazards such as
potholes, broken glass, gravel, puddles, leaves, and dogs.
All these hazards can cause a
crash.
Use verbal and non-verbal communication. This
includes eye contact with
drivers, turn signals, pointing to road hazards for bicyclists behind you, and stating
passing on your left, or on
your left. Your bike should be
equipped with a bell or horn to
alert other cyclists, pedestrians
and motorists of your presence.
Be predictable. Ride in a
straight line, not in and out of
cars. Signal your moves to others.
Look before turning.
When turning left or right,
always look behind you for a
break in traffic, and then signal
before making the turn. Watch
for left- or right-turning traffic.
Children should not ride
alone. Children younger than
10 years old are not able to
make necessary safely decisions and should ride with an
adult. Utilize safer routes such
as sidewalks when available.
Many people are pedestrians at some point in the day.
Unfortunately pedestrian fatalities remain high. In 2018, there
were 6,283 pedestrians killed in
traffic crashes, a three percent
increase from the previous
year and the most since 1990,
according to NHTSA.
In Kansas, there were 474
pedestrians involved in vehicle
crashes in 2018, resulting in 29
deaths and 417 injuries, according to KDOT.
As more walkers take to
the sidewalks and streets, we
are all responsible for making
safety a priority, noted AAA
Kansas Steward. Pedestrians
and drivers alike should
remain alert and be aware of
each others movements on the
roadways.
AAA Pedestrian Safety
Reminders
Walk on sidewalks whenever possible.
If no sidewalk is available,
walk on the left side of the road,
facing traffic
Cross at crosswalks. Keep
to the right in the crosswalk.
Look both ways before
crossing the street.
At signalized intersections,
cross only on the proper signal.
Avoid crossing the street
between parked cars.
Watch for cars. Be sure that
the way is clear before you start
crossing. Continue looking and
checking while crossing.
Never assume a driver sees
you. Make eye contact with
drivers as they approach you
to make sure you are seen.
Motorists must yield to
pedestrians crossing the street
at marked and unmarked
intersections BUT the pedestrian must either be within
the crosswalk or affirmatively
indicate an intent to cross.
Wear or carry retro-reflective material or carry a flashlight at night to help drivers
see you.
Avoid distractions. Limit
phone use, loud music, and
other distractions while walking.
Unemployment insurance benefits expanded
TOPEKA Kansas Secretary of
Labor Dela Garca confirmed
today that the expansion to up
to 26 weeks of unemployment
benefits passed by the Kansas
Legislature and signed into law
by Governor Laura Kelly in
March is operative.
In mid-March, the Legislature
passed a temporary extension to
increase the number of weeks
an individual would be eligible
for unemployment benefits to
up to 26 weeks for all claims
filed after January 1, 2020. The
extension will apply automatically; no application or process
is required other than to file
weekly claims. Those impacted will receive new monetary
determinations that include the
additional 10 weeks worth of
benefits.
If you are eligible, you will

Bruce Symes gave the
Communion
Meditation,
reminding us that our Father
in in control, and that nothing
is a surprise to him. God created everything, and he holds all
of creation together. And Jesus
took part in all of it, taking part
in every detail of our lives, and
that should give us comfort.
We will face more trials to our
faith when we follow Jesus. We
need to be diligent and pray,
shut out those that mock God,
and stay close to our church
family. (Ref: Ephesians 1:11,
Colossians 1:16-17, Psalm 46:10,
Matthew 26:27-29)
Pastor Chase Riebel gave the
sermon on the 2nd condition
that science gives for life: The
ability to grow and respond to
the environment. The condition of our heart is the environment in which the seed of God's
word will be planted. How open
is your heart to receive and
respond to God's word. In the
parable about the farmer scattering seed, Jesus tells about
the different environments in
which the seed falls: falling
on the footpath, shallow soil,
seeds that fell in the thorns,
and those that fell in fertile
soil. To have a fruitful harvest, God wants his word to
take root in your heart. To take
root, it must be fertile soil that
his word falls on. He wants you
to respond to his word every
day. When we fill ourselves
with God, there is no room for
evil. Evil gets pushed out. Hear
this sermon in its entirety on
your favorite podcast. (Ref:
John 3 & 15:8; Matthew 13:3-23;
James 1:21; Ephesians 3 & 5:8;
Colossians 2:6-7; Psalm 1:1)

much discussion about the pros
and cons of having a season
due to Kansas State Executive
Order 20-29 (relating to COVID19 guidelines), it was put to a
vote whether or not to have a
season. The result of the vote
was 7-4 against playing this season. Those voting to play were
Louisburg, Paola, Ottawa and
Richmond. With this vote the
City of Garnett will cancel the
2020 summer baseball season.

was morning – the sixth day.
Thus the heavens and the earth
were completed in all their vast
array.
In order to appreciate what
God meant when he called his
creation good I think we need
to identify what was not there.
Im sure there was no pollution or smog and for those of
us in agriculture no thistles or
weeds that we do our best to
destroy every year. There were
no landfills or roadside trash.
Unfortunately all this was created by man.
So what happened to Gods
creation? Adam and Eve chose
their course of action, disobedience to God, then God chose his.
God could only respond in a
way consistent with his perfect
moral nature. He could not
and did not allow sin to go on
unchecked. When Adam and
Eve disobeyed God they broke
fellowship with God. Part of
the punishment that God issued
upon man is found in Genesis
3:17, God tells Adam, Cursed
is the ground because of you;
through painful toil you will eat
of it all the days of your life.
Life in the Garden of Eden
was like living in heaven and if
Adam and Eve had obeyed God
they could have lived forever.
But after they sinned they no
longer deserved paradise and
God forced them to leave. They
were separated from God. Like
Adam and Eve all of us have
sinned and separated ourselves
from God. However God is preparing a new heaven and a new
earth as an eternal paradise for
his people.
In Revelation 21;1 we read,
Then I saw a new heaven and
ANDERSON
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
a new earth, for the first heaven
and the first earth had passed
away, and there was no longer
any sea. As a loving earthly
father will give his son a second chance so will our heavenly
Father. In Revelation 22:3 we
read, No longer will there be
any curse. God will lift the
curse he put on the earth in
Genesis 3:17.

When John the apostle
received this revelation he was
a political prisoner on the isle
of Patmos. John wrote down
all the events revealed to him
and there will be a new heaven
and a new earth where God will
reign.
The Bible begins with the
majestic story of Gods creation
of the universe and it concludes
with his creation of a new heaven and a new earth. This is a
tremendous hope and encouragement for the believer. When
we are with God, with our sins
forgiven and our future secure,
we will be like Christ. We will
be made perfect like him.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, May 12, 2020
OPINION
Why did Tara (and others) tarry?
Why did Tara Reade wait 27 years to publicly
charge Joe Biden with sexual assault? Shes just
the latest to claim abuse at the hands of a prominent political figure decades after the incident
allegedly occurred.
Im not a Biden fan, but Im suspicious of these
Joanie-Come-Latelys, and question their motivation, years after statutes-of-limitations expire.
Is it a call for justice, or a plea for public victimhood?
In the last generation or so, Clarence Thomas,
Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Brett Kavanaugh,
and now Biden have been accused of sexual
impropriety, decades after the offenses allegedly
occurred.
The timing of these bombshells follows a
similar pattern. The act is committed, the perpetrator rises in prominence, and just as he is taking a career-defining step: BOOM, the He Said/
She Said Game, with the Media as a questionable
arbiter, commences.
Im not questioning whether these offenses
occurred. But as bad as a sexual assault was in,
say, 1993; it didnt get any easier to handle in 2000,
2005, or later. So why wait until 2020, Ms. Reade?
Biden was in the Senate when Reade says he
attacked her. He ran for re-election several times,
ran for president twice, and served as vice-president for eight years after the alleged crime. Was
there no right time in the intervening years to
damage or end his career with these charges?
Bill Clinton as governor of Arkansas was
apparently not big enough to take down, but as
a candidate for president, he was? He was finally
undone, but from an action taken while he was
president.
Same with Trump. As a boorish, egomaniacal real estate developer-turned-Reality TV star,
he was not a threat worthy of unmasking as a
adulterer, but as a candidate for president, the
cameras and the stories started rolling.
Thomas and Kavanaugh each faced Senate confirmations numerous times before their Supreme
Court nominations introduced the world to their
deviance. Thomas Accuser Anita Hill even followed him to another job AFTER he had allegedly harassed her, further reducing the credibility
of her charges.
Is it fear of reprisal? Public humiliation? The
end of a career? All valid reasons for the accusers
to stay quiet. But, just as valid today as in the 90s,
truth is always the best defense. Proof is effective, too. We all remember the Blue Dress. NonDisclosure Agreements and settlements are indications the man wants to keep something secret;
but also that a womans dignity has a price
GUEST EDITORIAL
DAVID HICKS, Guest Writer
attached. For once, how about a real-time police
report, or signed complaint, copies of which are
kept by the woman? Why did Reade not keep
hers, the one she reportedly gave Bidens chief
of staff? Because you can bet it has disappeared
from Bidens records, and not even a mothers
call-in to Larry King would be better evidence.
Were assured the #metoo movement is a
game-changer; now women have an advocate.
It did succeed in unhorsing Harvey Weinstein
and his decades of tyranny in Hollywood. Those
who kept their careers and their secrets for
years finally decided to stop him from terrorizing future generations. They also succeeded in
dethroning Media reprobates Roger Ailes, Matt
Laurer, Les Moonves, and Charlie Rose.
However, their recent reluctance to come to
the defense of Reade is troubling. They nearly
built a statue of Christine Blasey Ford when
she pointed the finger at Kavanaugh during his
Supreme Court confirmation. That effort failed,
and now her charges are not #metoos concern.
She is lost to history. Our next recollection of
her will likely be the first line of her obituary,
recounting her 15 Minutes of Fame. #metoo risks
its credibility if it defends only those accusing
Republicans. Ironically, Reade is a liberal Bernie
Sanders-supporting Democrat.
So, maybe we are in a new era. Maybe well
be made aware of such an issue today, instead
of trying to recollect what we were doing when
this-or-that allegedly happened then. But it has
to start with a victim seeking justice, and how
important that is to them.
I dont personally know any woman who
would sit on such degradation for decades. I
know scalp-hunters those who would settle for
nothing less than the collection of male anatomy
in their immediate pursuit of justice. ###

Trump-hate media coddles Biden
With six months to go until the 2020 presidential election, 77-year-old former Vice
President Joe Biden is campaigning in his
basement and loving life.
Sleepy Joe lets his consultants tell him
what to think and what to tweet, limits his
gaffes and tries to control his message. And
since he cant hold campaign rallies due to the
coronavirus pandemic, the world cant see the
energy vacuum he creates during the largely
incomprehensible rambling speeches he used
to give in half-empty high school cafeterias.
Yes, other than seeing New York Gov.
Andrew Cuomo grabbing a lot more news coverage than he is getting, these are easy days
for Joe Biden. Hes got the luxury of being able
to sit back and criticize President Trump from
the cheap seats as the president deals with
the enormous challenges associated with the
unprecedented COVID-19 crisis.
If nothing else, Biden is demonstrating that
hes an extremely talented Monday morning
quarterback, which is not a redeeming quality
for a real leader.
Biden is practicing what I call the Tahiti
strategy staying off the grid until Election
Day so you dont make any unforced errors. In
other circles, its called the prevent defense.
But as we all know, sometimes choosing this
minimalist approach prevents you from winning the game.
The coronavirus pandemic has created for
Biden something of a forced Tahiti strate-
COMMENTARY
DAVID BOSSIE, CITIZENS UNITED
gy and at the moment its buoying him in
the polls a bit. Although just a snapshot in
time, recent survey data is indicating that
the Trump-Biden match-up will make for yet
another highly competitive presidential election contest.
For instance, even in the midst of extreme
economic hardship created by the COVID-19
pandemic, the latest Reuters-Ipsos poll found
that Americans believe that the president
was better suited to create jobs by a margin
of 45 percent to just 32 percent for Biden.
In an election that will likely come down to
a virtual coin flip in many battleground states,
these numbers showing a sizeable advantage
for President Trump in the all-important category of job creation are telling.
As President Trump gets brutalized by
Bidens allies in the Trump-hating media
who criticize his every move for purely political purposes Biden is instead treated with
kid gloves. His media supporters know that
one good punch would put him on the canvas.
As evidence, look no further than the brewing Tara Reade scandal. The mainstream
media went out of its way not to ask Biden
about her serious, credible, and corroborated
claims of sexual assault against him. It was
only when the situation reached critical mass
that Biden was forced to do an interview
to answer questions about the alleged 1993
assault.
The interview with MSNBCs Mika
Brzezinski made it clear why Biden hasnt
held a press conference in 34 days. When left
to his own devices, Sleepy Joe is a disaster
waiting to happen.
In light of the Reade allegations, we can
only imagine how Biden would handle tough
questions on topics such as the new Title IX
sexual misconduct standards and due process
protections for campuses that the Education
Department released this week.
Mr. Vice President, does the Democratic
Party support due process in sexual assault
cases or not? Why in your case and not now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaughs?
The only positive thing for Biden coming
out of the interview with Brzezinski is that
he was able to deny the charges on the record

Science isnt the only issue in Covid-19
If you thought the coronavirus presented
difficult policy questions, dont worry — we
have science.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom tweeted the
other day, The West Coast is — and will continue to be — guided by SCIENCE.
Joe Biden has urged President Trump,
Follow the science, listen to the experts, do
what they tell you.
Neil DeGrasse Tyson calls the crisis a
giant experiment in whether the world will
listen to scientists, now and going forward.
The invocation of science as the ultimate
authority capable of settling questions of how
we should govern ourselves is a persistent feature of modern Western life going back several
centuries, and has always been a mistake. It
is especially so in this crisis, when so much
is still unknown about the coronavirus and
immensely complicated and consequential
public policy questions are in play.
Modern science is obviously one of the
wonders of our age. We owe it an unimaginable debt — for technological advancements
in medicine, transportation, industry, communication, computing and more. All honor
to Newton, Turing, Curie and Einstein.
The world was slow to react to the coronavirus, and yet the genetic code of the virus
was publicly posted by China on Jan. 20, and
South Korea had deployed a test kit by early
February. Its possible well have a vaccine by
the end of the year.
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
Science has a limited competency, though.
Once you are outside a lab setting and dealing
with matters of public policy, questions of
values and how to strike a balance between
competing priorities come into play, and they
simply cant be settled by people in white lab
coats.
Science can make the atom bomb; it doesnt
tell us whether we should drop it. Science can
tell us how to get to the moon; it doesnt tell
us whether we should go. Science can build
nuclear reactors; it doesnt tell us whether we
should deploy them.
If we are going to unquestioningly accept
expert opinion, wed better prepare for whiplash. At first, the elite consensus was that
wearing masks was unnecessary. Now, we are
told its an essential piece of getting out of this
mess.
We worried about running out of ventilators, but in recent weeks some doctors have
been wondering whether they have been overused.
Then, there are the big questions. Science
cant tell us how we should think about the
trade-off between economic misery caused
by shutdowns and the public health risks of
reopenings. It cant determine the balance
between shutting down a hospitals elective
surgeries so it can prepare for a COVID-19
surge, and tanking its business.
The people in our political debate who most
volubly insist that they are simply following
the science tend also to be most resistant
to nuance and prone to unscientific fervency.
They are using science as a bludgeon and
conversation stopper.
Obviously, science already has made an
enormous contribution to our fight against the
coronavirus, and may — through therapies or a
vaccine — go a long way to solving this crisis.
But life is not an equation, and neither is politics or policy.
We as a free people will have to decide the
important questions raised by this crisis, not
the doctors on TV or the researchers in the
labs.
Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.
Calling people names just like hes telling people not to do. What a hypocrite. I bet hes one
of those phony Christians that calls theirselves
Republicans. They back Donald Trump, the
liar, the conman, the adulturer. I like Governor
Kelly because she wanted to save lives. If you
get Covid dont go to the hospital you just stay
home and make yourself well.
I wonder what is considered a local business?
Just among the restaurants in town one is
owned by a guy that lives in Wichita, the company is based out of Plano, Tx., and the entire
corporation is owned by an investment firm out
of Louisville, Ky. Another is owned by an out-oftown owner, the chain is based in Connecticut.
Another restaurant is owned by a consortium of
people scattered all around Eastern Kansas. The
chain is based in Oklahoma City and the entire
company is owned by an investment company
in Atlanta, Ga. When you spend money at one of
these places, how much really stays in Garnett?
They all like to wave the shop local flag though.
Thank you.
Sue the killers
Dear Editor,
The debate is on. Were steps taken to stop
the corona virus too extensive and damaging to
America? What about the trillions of dollars in
damage and all the deaths? There seems to be no
doubt that the biggest problem was the failure of
Communist China to warn the world of the disease, but what do you do now? The first Covid
19 death occurred on February 29. Since that
date, about 70,000 Americans have died. To save
innocent lives, should innocent businesses be
shut down and is there a recourse for the losses
and deaths?
S h o u l d
Readers Letters C o n g r e s s
a l l o w
Americans
to sue the
Chinese, who hold about 1.1 trillion in US debt?
Suppose that the Corona virus had been
caused by an American business. Suppose
THAT business asked for and got hundreds of
millions of dollars in taxpayer funding to continue the killing. Would they get the money?
Welcome to America. Would you believe a
business that causes twice that many deaths,
i.e., 2,500 deaths per DAY, 160,000 every two
months, almost 1,000,000 every year, year after
year, does exactly that. We the people give
them hundreds of millions in government funding each year to kill perfectly healthy American
citizens. Welcome to the abortion business
in America. Abortion businesses however will
not have to worry about being sued. They dont
kill us. They just kill our children and our
grand children. That could be corrected, just as
Congress could allow us to sue the Chinese. The
Bible tells us to honor our father and mother
and respect our elders, We are to protect the
elderly. When Christ chided the Apostles and
said Let the children come unto me he did not
mean kill them quick so they could go to heaven.

These must have been the
only small towns to have their
own newspapers in 1915.
ment is the epitome of Joe
Biden the out-of-touch career
politician straight from the
swamp. Does he really think
the American people arent
paying attention?
Biden makes a habit of bragging about his career in the
Senate and uses his 36 years
there as one of the reasons he
should be elected president.
He is essentially asking voters to just take his word for it
when it comes to his record
in the Senate. Unfortunately
for Biden, the American people want proof. So his records
at the University of Delaware
must be opened.
During his interview with
Brzezinski, Biden tried his
best to convince her that any
complaint filed against him
by Reade wouldnt be stored
in Delaware, but more likely
in the U.S. Senate or National
Archives. While this may turn
out to be true, what about notes,
letters, photos, or memos-to-file
concerning Reade? This is why
Biden must allow a search.
However, opening the vault
in Delaware is not just about
records relating to Tara Reade.
Biden is interviewing to be
president of the United States
and the American people are
entitled to see the body of his
work during the three-plus
decades he spent in the Senate.
If Biden keeps the vault
sealed, the chants of whats
Biden hiding will grow louder
every day.
Is Biden hiding his record on
busing? His relationships with
segregationist senators? His
papers in support of the Iraq
War? His treatment of Anita
Hill? His support for cutting
Social Security? His beliefs
about criminal justice reform?
His meeting with Russian
President Vladimir Putin?
These questions are not
going away.
At some point, Biden is
going to have to come out of the
basement and face the music.
No one is handed the presidency; you have to earn it.
We know President Trump
the ferocious campaigner will
be asking these questions in
every battleground state and at
all three presidential debates
– where Biden will have no
place to hide and no one to lean
on. Hopefully, the mainstream
media will do its job and ask
Biden the tough questions as
well.

without blowing himself up on
national television. The downside is much more plentiful.
For reasons that dont pass
the smell test, Biden is refusing
to open all of his records during
his career in the U.S. Senate
for public inspection. He says
a review of those papers held

Section
GARNETT, KS: Due to COVID19, subsequent Phase 2 guidelines as directed by Kansas
Governor Kellys Executive
Order 20-29, the following
changes in future events are
necessary:
The Celebration of Service,
recognizing the Garnett
Remembers – Patriotic Pole
Banner Project, has been
postponed from just prior to
Memorial Day Weekend, on
Thursday, May 21 to be held
in conjunction with Libertyfest
on Saturday, July 11 at 7:00
p.m. The celebration will be
held in the soccer field adjacent
the East Shelter House at 7 p.m.
The name of the banner honorees will be announced, and
musical entertainment is being

Anderson County COVID19 Task Force releases plan
The Anderson County
COVID-19 Task Force recently met to address the countys
approach regarding phase one
of the Governors Ad Astra: A
Plan to Reopen Kansas.
Although the committee
does not feel it is necessary
to impose stricter restrictions
from the Governors plan, it is
recommended, until further
notice, that residents and
businesses discontinue operations of buffets and self-service beverage stations that
require customers to use common utensils or dispensers.
These areas are high traffic
and are very difficult to clean
and sanitize after every customer. Customers of businesses who may offer self-service
stations are strongly encouraged to avoid those areas as a
precaution for their own safety.
The Task Force highly recommends for all residents to
continue to follow the CDC
guidelines for hygiene and
social distancing protocols,
such as:
Washing hands frequently, while avoiding contact
with ones face;
Remaining home when
sick or running a fever;
Staying at least 6 feet from
other people;
Following isolation and
quarantine orders issued by
state or local health officers;
Working remotely, if possible.
The committee is dedicated to providing Anderson
County residents with the
best direction to reopening
our county in the safest manner.

Cont – The Skinning Tree A novel by G. Dane Hicks
The phone let out a tiny
beep as Ollie ended the
call. Glancing down, he
dialed another number
and pressed the send
button. In unison, he and
the driver both looked
back over their shoulders in the direction of
Knutes former abode.
A quarter mile away,
the LED face on the new
clock radio dimmed suddenly, and the trailing
wire so painstakingly fed
into its underside flashed
into smoke and a smoldering flame from the
base of the clock all the
way to its end, like a puff
of smoke in a magic trick.
The flame ignited the
fuel in the clothes, which
ignited the fuel spilled
on the cracked linoleum
floor of the utility room. Flames
danced across the utility room
and Knutes cooking apparatus,
engulfing everything in seconds
and covering the ceiling with
thick, gray smoke. If they bothered to look at all, investigators
might find the melted carcass of
a clock radio next to the debris of
the cooking rig, probably used to
time the procedures, they would
surmise, and theyd never think
to crack the little appliance open
to find out what additional electronics were inside it. Cooking
meth was a risky business using
all sorts of explosive and volatile
chemicals. Accidents happen.
From their vantage point on
the hilltop, Ollie and the blond
man watched as fingers of smoke
began to lift into the still Sunday
morning air over Knutes house.
They grew blacker and more
voluminous, and Ollie motioned
for the driver to proceed.
Very well done, Adrian
Ollie said in a professional and
admiring tone. Thats five hits
without a single misfire since
you came to work for us. A little
convincing surgery on our reluctant friend. Very impressive.
Thank you, Ollie. Adrians
voice was appreciative of the
compliment, but his face was
dull and expressionless. The
Explorer eased forward and disappeared down the dusty gravel
road.
Piano music ebbed faintly from within the century-old
timbers of the Church as Israel
Tender quick-hopped the front
steps to the front door, glancing
back behind him and around as
he laid his hand slowly and quietly on the door handle.
The service had begun several minutes ago, and the foyer
was empty as Tender held both
hands behind his back, palms
out, easing the door into its position to make as little sound as
possible. The piano was louder
now, echoing off the stately but
worn woodwork inside the foyer,
and the muffled voices of the
flock, inaudible from outside a
second ago, followed the melody
of the instrument through the
open door to the sanctuary and
into the foyer as Tenders keen
eyes glanced about for company. He quickly side-stepped away
from in front of the wide doorway to the sanctuary, through
which he could see a mosaic of
the backs of suit coats and dress
fabrics topped by mostly gray
salon hairdos and balding heads,
as the bulk of Henrysvilles aging
Presbyterians stood facing forward and worshipped through
song.
To his left was a set of stairs,
probably leading to a balcony,
he surmised. He passed a small
wooden stand on which sat a
guest book with an ink pen
stamped with the imprint of a
local bank, and headed toward a
coat closet built into the wall at

His brow wrinkled a little with
consternation at the object, so he
pressed harder. Still nothing.
What the hell? Had he locked
the damn thing? Eyes trailing
back to the sanctuary for assurance he was still undetected,
his hand grappled around the
handle for a lock or a switch or
some device he might have accidentally tripped upon his entry
moments ago. Nothing but a keyhole. He pushed again, this time
placing his back square into the
door. The heavy, old oak door
still didnt budge.
This was ridiculous, Tender
thought. Stealing from a church
and now locked inside it. Hed
have to get a run at it or kick it
open if he wanted to execute the
simplest part of this plan. Voices
his left. He glanced back again
and trained his ears hard, trying to filter out the sound of the
music in favor of a creaking of
the old wood floor under the carpet; anything that would give
warning to someone approaching. Hearing none, he slipped
into the coat closet.
The faint smell of mothballs
and old fabric met his nose as
Tender began to pilfer through
the hanging coats. The inside
pocket of the second coat he
checked had a mans wallet
inside, containing a couple of
twenties and other assorted bills.
Tender liberated a twenty and
a five before putting the wallet
back. A purse or two also sat
at the bottom of the closet, and
Tender made his way along those
as well, removing a few bills as he
went from those that had them.
The piano and the voices still
behind him, he moved quickly,
stealthily, avoiding the wallets
with only a few bills; theyd be
the first to realize something
was amiss. Take from those who
wont miss it or wholl wonder if
they spent it elsewhere, and you
can often come back to milk that
cow again.
Content that hed pressed
his luck as far as he should, he
slipped back to the door. Just
nudge it a bit, he thought, just
open far enough that its closing could be heard in the first
few pews inside the sanctuary.
Then look out of breath, like hed
hurried in to find a seat. Tender
grasped the old door handle and
pushed, but the door was stuck.

2003 novel The Skinning Tree

Chapter 4 Cont
*picking up from where left on from
May 5th edition
In a few minutes, Knute had
spieled off names and locations
of a half dozen other crank makers around the county and nearby in other counties, holding
a bloody wash rag to his ear.
Emma moved frantically from
room to room under watch from
two of the intruders, gathering a
few belongings and putting them
into a piece of oddly new-looking
luggage. She filled another smaller case with other items, and one
of the gunmen took the bags and
put them in the back of the old
blue Camaro out front.
The blond gunman whod
notched Knutes ear busied himself with a small red tool box in
the utility room next to Knutes
cooking rig. Fumes from the
open containers of camp stove
fuel wafted about the sink area
as the blond man poured the liquid around the sink and a pile of
towels and clothes hed gathered.
From the tool box he pulled a
small clock radio, flipped it over
to check the batteries inside it,
and inserted a shiny piece of
wire from a spool into a hole
in the clocks plastic base. He
pushed the wire into the little
appliance until it wouldnt go
any further, and strung a section
of it a foot or so from the clock
before snipping it off with a tiny
pair of wire cutters. He plugged
the clock into the wall, and as
its flashing red LED numbers
blinked 12:00, he laid the clock
and the trailing wire across the
pile of fuel-soaked clothes.
Outside, a dirty black Chevy
Suburban with two of the gunmen inside was following Knutes
Camaro as it headed east down
the dirt road. Ollie had made
it clear to them, in a tone that
invited their full attention. They
would stop on I-35 near Olathe
to get gas, with the assistance of
the two men who trailed them in
the Suburban. Stop again before
they reach the Nebraska state
line, and it would be the last stop
they ever made.
Ollie and the blond man headed the opposite direction in a
green Ford Explorer. Its brake
lights lit up about a quarter mile
away at the top of a gently rolling hill as the blond man slowed
the vehicle, and the two looked
in all directions for any movement. Ollie dialed his cell phone
and held it to his ear, looking
back across the narrow strip of
dirt road again, watching for any
movement.
Everything all right?, he
said, pushing his sunglasses to
the top of his head, a look of concern on his face as he scanned up
and down the road yet again.
Yeah. Hes doing exactly
like you said, came the voice
of the man riding shotgun in the
Suburban trailing Knute. Well
be at the highway in about five
minutes.
Any traffic back your way?,
Ollie asked with the business-like
monotone of an air traffic controller.
Pickup passed behind us at
an intersection headed north.
Theres a Ford LTD, looks like
early 80s model, following us at
about a hundred yards. Nothing
weve seen headed back your
way.
All right. Have a good trip.
still poured forth from the sanctuary.
Presbyterians must sing louder than other church folks, he
thought for a second. Theyd
probably never hear the thing
close anyway. He glided toward
the sanctuary, slipped inside,
and took a position standing at
a pew next to an old man in a
dark gray suit and tie, his mouth
open but not singing, a hearing
aid bulging from his left ear.
He never even heard Tenders
approach, and his aging vision
hadnt allowed him to see it,
either.
Tenders eyes scanned the
room and locked on Lara, far forward and to the right, seated at
the piano in a yellow dress with
long sleeves, her long auburn
hair hanging in loose curls about
her shoulders and back. Her
arms were fluid and her hands
moved effortlessly as the music
issued forth, her eyes following
the page but not really reading
the notes, the luxury of having
played the song who knows how
many times. Even seated as far
back as he was, Tender could
make out the soft, slim form of
her neck and shoulders as she
sat, eyes straying from time to
time, but with perfect posture
at the instrument. The singing
stopped on cue, and a rustle
rose from the room as bodies
settled back into the wooden
pews. Reverend Tinney suddenly
arose, from where Tender wasnt

back. He placed a hand on each
side of the podium and raised
his head, the full measure of his
giant frame broadcast in front of
the flock. He assumed immediate command of the room, and
those who sat before him surrendered willingly, expectantly
to Tinneys presence. He was
enough even to gather the attention of Israel Tender, who only
moments prior was leering at the
pastors own wife.
We gather this day to rejoice
in his name, and we read from the
book of Isaiah. Tinneys voice
was deep and baritone, solid but
not oppressive. In these April
days in our farm community,
we busy ourselves with the business of planting, and with these
days of sweat and toil we hold
the expectation of a harvest. We
know this is a true and a worthy expectation, because we have
been taught by our fathers and
our grandfathers and by the seasons of the earth itself. We have
been taught that spring follows
winter, winter fall, and fall summer. Weve been taught through
the marvelous development of
tools and technology that where
we plant wheat, wheat will arise;
where we plant corn, corn will
grow up, and with the right rain
and the right care it will tower
high above us and yield up greatly.
We know this because this
is the plan. It is Gods plan. The
plan works. Season after season,
year after year, good rain or bad,
blistering heat or frigid cold. The
plan is already in motion, and
though the crop may not be preordained, the plan always is.
This plan of the cycle of
growth is not unlike Gods plan
for us. We wonder at it, especially when our crops fail; when
the rain is too heavy or the heat
too intense. But we must remember: God has a plan. When Isaiah
spoke of the sureness of Gods
plan in relation to the Assyrian
siege of Jerusalem, he spoke in
terms of farming and of growth:
Give ear, and hear my voice;
listen, and hear my speech. Does
the plowman plow all day to
sow? Does he open and break
the clods of his ground? When
he has made plain the face thereof, does he not cast abroad the
fitches, and scatter the cummin,
and cast in the principal wheat
and the appointed barley and
the rye in their place? For his
God does instruct him to discretion, and teaches him. For as the
fitches are not threshed with a
threshing instrument, nor is a
cart wheel turned about upon the
cummin; but fitches are beaten
out with a staff, and cummin
with a rod, and bread corn is
crushed; so that he will not constantly be threshing it, he breaks
it with the wheel of his cart, his
horsemen do not crush it. This
also comes forth from the LORD
of hosts, which is wonderful in
counsel, and excellent in working. Let us pray.
Tender watched from the field
of gray heads, and looked occasionally from side to side to see
them nodding in agreement, or
their faces flashed by a quick
smile of realization or understanding. Oddly, he could feel the
pull of this preacher himself, but
he had other things on his mind.
By the conclusion of the service, the smell of baked casseroles, fresh rolls and meat filtered up from the basement, and
Rev. Tinney asked those who
could to join the congregation for
a farewell dinner for a younger
couple, the Carswells, who would
be leaving the church for one in
Wichita due to Jack Carswells

transfer with the gas company.
The aroma was delightful to
Tender, but hed have headed
back to the parsonage to finish
packing his things if he hadnt
seen Lara stepping down the
basement stairs amid the crowd
of people. The murmur of voices
echoed up from the stairwell as
he followed the church members
to the basement, joined by people
who smiled at him, but behind
their smiles wondered who this
new man was.
A line of folding tables was
arranged on one end of the basement and served as a staging
area for the bounty, with a big
orange plastic cooler at the far
end filled with tea. Other tables
with chairs were arranged
throughout the basement to
serve as seating, and the line at
the food table filled up while others stood around talking to each
other or to the Carswells.
Lara was on the other side of
the room when Tender reached
the foot of the basement stairs,
and her eyes found him as he
worked his way through the
crowd toward her. Having met
his eyes, she looked back toward
an older couple with whom she
was conversing, and subconsciously brushed a strand of
errant hair back behind her ear.
Her eyes darted back in short,
unintending glances to be sure
Tender was still coming her way.
They were looks which didnt
go unnoticed by him, and by
the time he reached the trio in
conversation, a slight smile had
crept onto his face and a confident look had overtaken him. She
was a stately looking woman, her
flawless neck adorned by a set of
beautiful pearls over the lace of
the yellow dress. He stood next
to the conversation, moving his
eyes first from Laras to those of
the couple, pleasantly smiling.
Bathed and shaved, and wearing a faded but clean yellow button front shirt and a clean pair
of blue jeans, Lara considered
the difference in his appearance
from when theyd been introduced just last night. His graying,
sandy blond hair was thick and
wavy, slicked back and combed
this morning, and his face thin
and sharp featured. There was a
scar, hidden before by his days of
beard growth, about a half inch
or so long just to the right of his
chin and another similar one on
his neck just above his collar.
His eyes were dark and his face
lined, like a man who has slept
little and worried much.
Tender spoke quietly and
sparingly last night as the three
of them ate dinner, though he
seemed to respond well to the
Reverend almost everybody
did. Lara had said little, hospitable but uneasy at having
a stranger in the house. That
was it, she was sure. It was just
that there was a stranger in the
house.
Jess, this is Israel Tender.
Hes our house guest, Lara said,
pausing to introduce him. The
older man stuck out his hand
and shook Tenders, who quietly
nodded to the mans wife. Israel,
this is Jess and Ida Simmons.
My pleasure, Tender said.
The old man was a sizeable gent
with a pot belly, mostly bald and
bright blue eyes.
What brings you to town, Mr.
Tender?, Jess asked, squinting
matter-of-factly.
Im really sort of just passing
through, Tender looked back at
Lara, who was following the conversation intently even this far.
Well, where ya headed?
Simmons asked, cocking his
head a little to one side. It was a
habit when he was interested in
something someone was saying.
Detroit. Tender answered
softly, watching for some hint
of recognition in Jesss eyes
that might scuttle the lie which
was rapidly assembling itself.
He had to make sure it sounded
like the one he told the Tinneys
last night. Ive got a brother up
there that works in tool and die. I
finally gave up on the shrimping
down at Corpus Corpus Christi,
Texas, I mean I finally gave up
on it, and thought Id head up
north and see if I could find work
with him. Jess nodded his head
and squinted his eyes a little,
interested.
My old truck only made it to
Dallas, so Ive been thumbing it
ever since. Mr. and Mrs. Tinney
were good enough to take me in
a night and feed me and let me
wash up some.
Great lands! Jess head lifted
slightly in amazement. Ida stood
mesmerized as well, but quietly.
You mean you hitch-hiked clear
from Dallas?
Well, really I junked the
truck for a few bucks and got
me some money for bus fare
to Oklahoma City. I just been
hitchin from there.
Still, thats a dad-gummed
long way. I hitched back in 43
from Topeka to San Diego. I
remember what its like. Dadgummed long way.
Sounds like quite an adventure, Lara interjected, a little
drawn in to the story, though
not as much as she had been the
night before.
Now, how are you set, son?
Do you have any money?, Jess
asked.
Im looking for some day
labor, if I can find it, Tender
answered.
Okay, okay, Jess nodded,
grasping the deal in his mind
before it ever left his mouth.
Well now, my boys are tearing
out the inside of the old Bakers
Clothing Store building Arthur
Knodel bought it and hes gonna
rebuild it into offices for the
USDA folks, he said aside to
Lara, who nodded. Were probably looking at a weeks work.
Week, ten days maybe. Its eleven dollars an hour. We could use
an extra set of hands.
That sounds very appealing, Tender said, his hands in
his pockets and staring at the
ground, noticing Jess shoes
looked nearly brand new.
Suddenly it was as though a
shadow covered them.
Brother Jess, youre not
preaching one of your basement
sermons again, are you?, Pastor
Tinneys low baritone covered

the conversation, as his presence
seemed to flow into the scene
from somewhere else in the
room. Jess laughed and sidled
toward the pastor warmly.
Aw dang-it, you caught me
again, the older man laughed,
throwing one arm up around the
reverends back and grasping
Tinneys broad biceps with his
other hand. Alls I need is one
of them cloaks, he laughed, not
knowing the word he was looking for was frock.
Jess was setting Israel up
with some work, Lara offered to
her husband. A building theyre
doing downtown.
Excellent, excellent. Tinney
smiled at Tender. I didnt think
about Jess when you mentioned
last night youd like to earn a little road money. What a splendid
idea.
Is there a place in town I can
stay a boarding house maybe
some place that would rent
by the week, or maybe a couple
weeks?, he said looking at Jess.
The words left Tenders mouth
like a signal flare, and he hoped
the right rescuer would take
notice. It worked.
Nonsense. Youre more than
welcome to stay in your room
at our house, Tinney turned
toward him, gently demanding.
Tenders eyes met the reverends,
then quickly averted to the floor.
From their corners he could
detect Laras body language; the
slight expanding of her lungs and
elevation of her shoulders as she
caught her breath; the quick and
almost indiscernible movement
of her head as her eyes darted to
and from the principle decision
makers. One way or the other,
Tender thought, the pastors wife
was very interested in this topic.
I really cant impose on you
any more, Tender said. Youve
all been
Its no imposition at all,
Lara said, her hands gently
clasped in front of her, her voice
earnest.
Someday, Israel, youll be
able to return the favor to someone else, Tinneys strong hand
reached forward and gripped
Tender warmly on the shoulder.
Tender stood, gently nodding
his head, looking away as if in
thought, watching Lara from the
corner of his eye.

Kansas receives grant
to transform the Kansas
early childhood system
Governor Laura Kelly and
other early childhood leaders
from across Kansas announced
today that an $8.9 million grant
from the Administration for
Children and Families has been
awarded to continue efforts to
strengthen the early childhood
system in Kansas. The funding is the first installment of
a 3-year renewal of Kansass
Preschool Development Grant
Birth Through Five (PDG B-5)
initiative.
These funds will be imperative in helping to keep up our
current momentum as we work
to improve our states early
childhood system, Governor
Kelly said. This grant is particularly welcome now, as
the COVID-19 pandemic has
caused an additional degree of
stress on early childhood in
Kansas. With it, we will continue to fight for the health and
safety of children and families
in our state.
Leaders from the Kansas
Childrens
Cabinet
and
Trust Fund, the Kansas State
Department of Education,
the Kansas Department of
Health and Environment and
the Kansas Department of
Children and Families began
this collaborative work with
a PDG B-5 planning grant in
January 2019. The initial grant
funded a comprehensive statewide needs assessment, which
illuminated what Kansans
need and want from their early
childhood care and education
system.
Over 6,100 parents, early
childcare and education professionals, civic and business leaders, and community members
provided input. Addressing the
findings from these efforts is
the foundation of a new statewide strategic plan for early
childhood, which was finalized
earlier this month.
After touring the state
throughout 2019, its clear that
although Kansans recognize
the importance of high-quality
early childhood programs and
services, we have work to do,
said Melissa Rooker, Executive
Director of the Kansas
Childrens Cabinet and Trust
Fund. This grant will allow us
to focus on implementation of
our strategic plan as we work
to strengthen our system and
achieve our vision that every
Kansas child has the best possible start in life.
Funding from this grant will
support systems-alignment,
infrastructure, and innovation
at the local and state level.
Kansans can expect to see
investments in activities that
build a sustainable infrastructure for the early childhood
system.
Visit the Systems Building
tab at www.kschildrenscabinet.org for more information
and to stay engaged in the work
to strengthen the early childhood system in the coming
years.
Funds for this project are provided through the Department
of Health and Human Services
(HSS), Administration for
Children and Families (ACF)
Every Student Succeeds
Act (ESSA). The Preschool
Development Grant Birth
through Five 90TP0016-01-00
($4,482,305) was awarded to the
Kansas State Department of
Education (KSDE). The Kansas
Childrens Cabinet and Trust
Fund, the Kansas Department
for Children and Families,
and the Kansas Department of
Health and Environment are
leading this work with KSDE.

are an important element in
the pollination of crops and
other types of plants.
NRCS is providing funding through the Conservation
Stewardship
Program
(CStP). There will be a fiscal
year 2020 CStP application
evaluation period for this
RCPP project. The application
evaluation period will be for

Rockers Marriage Announcement Hardwick earns
Governors
Scholar Award
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 5-12-2020 / SUBMITTED
Ryan Maye Handy and
Patrick Rockers were married in Gould, Colorado on
February 29, 2020. They married themselves by signing
their marriage license at the
finish line of a cross-country
ski race, in which they both
medaled.
Patrick and Ryan Maye met
in 2012 in Salida, Colorado
while training to become wildland firefighters. They reconnected years later, fell in love
and have been living together
in Fort Collins, Colorado since
2018.
Patrick is the son of Ben
and Katie Rockers of Scipio.
Patrick grew up on his family farm, went to high school
in Anderson County and
received biology and philosophy degrees from Ottawa
University in Ottawa, Kansas.
He became an EMT and firefighter in high school and
served in both roles for many
years in the county. He has
been a wildland firefighter
since 2012 and has worked in
Idaho, Texas, Kansas, Arizona
and Colorado. In February
2020, he accepted a permanent
job with the National Park
Service as an assistant engine
captain in Colorados Mesa
Verde National Park. Patricks
parents, Ben and Katie, run
the Scipio-based Rockers
Photography studio, ranch cat-
tle and elk on their farm and
run hunter education classes
for hundreds of local youth
every year.
Ryan Maye, who is keeping
her maiden name (Handy), is
the daughter of Dianne DeLayo
and Grey Handy of Santa Fe,
New Mexico. She received
degrees in comparative literature and Russian language
from Georgetown University in
Washington D.C. and a masters
in journalism from Columbia
University in New York City.
For nearly 10 years, she worked
as a newspaper reporter in
Colorado and Texas, where she
covered many beats, including
crime, wildfires, floods, hurricanes and oil and gas drilling.
She is a passionate outdoors
woman, speaks French and
Russian and loves to travel.
Recently, she left journalism to pursue a career as an
urban planner and is halfway
through a masters degree in
planning. Ryan Mayes parents, Dianne and Grey, are
small business owners and
lawyers in New Mexico, and
are avid cyclists, backcountry
skiers and world-travelers.
Patrick and Ryan Maye still
live in Fort Collins, where they
love to ski, bike, rock climb,
garden and cook. They look forward to a life of adventure and
celebrating their anniversary
every leap year.

Little Legacies
Greg Doering, Kansas Farm
Bureau
Over the past few weeks,
my colleagues at Kansas
Farm Bureau have seen
more of my basement than
either I or they ever envisioned they would. Their
riveting view consists
of two doors, one to the
laundry room and one to
a spare bedroom. Between
the two hangs a painting
from my grandmother.
Its a fall scene of a barn
with hay bales stacked
next to it. The sky is blue
with fluffy, white clouds.
Autumn has turned the
grass reddish brown and
yellowed the leaves on the
oak trees. Its a scene taken
from countless farms
across the country. Its
also one of several family
heirlooms surrounding me
in my new workspace.
Most of my work is done
at a desk that once belonged
to my great-grandfather.
According to family lore, it
resided in the office of the
movie theatre he owned
and operated through the
Great Depression until he
died in the early 70s. My
father used it in his office
at my childhood home
until I took possession of
it.
The desk has been in
my basement for just shy

of a decade now, mostly
accumulating the junk flat
surfaces tend to attract.
Built of solid red oak, its
still plenty capable of serving its intended function,
even though a laptop has
replaced the inkwell and
typewriter.
Ive also rediscovered
an open-faced Waltham
pocket watch. Ive kept it
nearby, winding it periodically to hear the rhythmic
ticking. Its older than the
desk, dating to at least my
great-great-grandfather,
Artemas L. Barton. Theres
an outside chance the
watch originally belonged
to his father who had the
same initials.
The case is made of
brass and is engraved
with ALB in the center of
the back cover, which is
dented in a couple of spots.
A semi-circle of polished
metal is evidence it slid in
and out of its owners pocket. Its missing the second
hand and the face is a little faded, but it still keeps
time.
All of these are amusing
distractions that allow my
mind to wander.
I
ponder
if
my
great-grandfather leaned
back in his chair and
propped his feet up on the
same corner I do. I wonder if Artemas checked the
watch before an important
meeting. And I ask myself
what item of mine might
one day spark such questions from my descendants.
My grandmother probably didnt set out to create an heirloom when she
crafted her painting. My
great-grand-father would
have never envisioned his
office desk from a cinema
holding a computer capable
of streaming endless movies and TV shows. I doubt
my great-great-grandfather imagined his everyday watch becoming an
inheritance spanning generations.
These items are connections to just a fraction
of my ancestors. Others
include a Lutheran minister in Germany at the
beginning of the European
Reformation
and
an
accused witch in Salem,
Massachusetts. She eventually fled to Framingham,
which is just west of
Boston. Between the two is
Waltham, birthplace of the
pocket watch now ticking
away on my desk.
Everyone comes from
somewhere, and thats
why I find these items
fascinating. I think about
what small items of mine
might find their way to my
descendants long after Im
gone.
Its also a reminder that
life will continue without
you. And the most inconsequential decisions creating a painting, choosing
a desk, buying a pocket
watch become the little
legacies we leave.
