4 churches agree to
offer public shelter
from severe weather
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Area residents
were reminded this weekend
that its still spring, and severe
weather including tornadoes is
a possible threat at this time of
year. Now, for the first time in
recent memory, residents will
be able to seek public shelter
if a tornado does threaten the
area.
A committee of emergency
response professionals and others announced last week that
four Garnett churches have
agreed to serve as a public

storm shelter. The committee
has been working since last
summer to establish such shelters in Garnett.
The churches include: First
United Methodist Church, 205
S. Oak St.; Holy Angels Church,
514 E. Fourth Ave.; First Baptist
Church, 417 S. Walnut St.; and
the Dunkard Brethren Church,
1020 S. Westgate Road.
In the event of imminent
severe weather, emergency
management officials will
notify a representative of the
church that the shelter needs to
be opened.
The four chosen shelters
likely will be sufficient for the
citys emergency shelter needs
because they are spread out

Effort to clean up
city sparks debate
Proposed law could
target outdoor living
spaces, not just junk
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Its back to the
drawing board for a city ordinance that would make it a
crime for people to keep some
types of furniture including
televisions and air conditioners
– on their porches and in their
yards.
Commissioners asked City
Attorney Terry Solander to
rework the ordinance amid
concerns its language was too
broad, and people could violate
the law if they have outdoor
living areas or even central air
conditioner units. A popular
fundraiser that places decorated toilets in peoples yards
also would be against the law if
Solanders initial version was
passed.
Solander said the ordinance
was an effort to clean up the

Airport plans get new look after nearly a decade
Financial help could be
available when city
tackles runway project
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Sometimes, it pays
to be patient.
City leaders hope changes in
federal airport financing will
allow them to finish airport
improvement plans that began
nearly a decade ago.
When city commissioners
and staff first looked at airport
improvements, they estimated
it would cost anywhere from
$2.7 million to $3.5 million to
extend the main runway from
2,600 to 3,400 feet. Some of that
cost would have come from the
cost of buying 100 additional
acres, in addition to construction costs for a runway and
taxiways.
Since
then,
however, the Federal Aviation
Administration recently began
offering grants to pay for 90
percent of the cost to acquire
land for airport improvements;
the city would be responsible
for just 10 percent of the cost.
City manager Joyce Martin
said the new federal reimburse-
ment would save the city quite
a bit of money for the project,
but exact figures and timelines
were not readily available.
The runway extension is the
final major project needed at
the airport, Martin told commissioners at their regular
meeting May 14. She provided a summary of the Airport
Master Plan at the request of
Commissioner Preston Peine,
who said he wanted to review
the plans to give himself and
other commissioners a better
idea of where they were at with
the project and what still needs
to be done.
Work began on the Airport
Master Plan in March 2004, but
the plan wasnt completed until
March 2007. A major focus of
the plan was to change the primary focus of the airport from
municipal use to industrial use,
including the development of
land and utilities for an industrial park nearby.
Much work has been done
at the airport that has led to
increased use, Martin said.
The city last year completed
purchase of a property near
the airport, and is working to

project officials announced last
week.
Hospital representatives
are working with architects to
design plans for the new hospital building, after voters in
April approved about $25 million in bonds for the facilitys
construction. Although initial
drawings helped voters visualize what a new facility would
look like, those plans were just
the beginning. Now, a design
team will draw more specific
plans.
The design team includes
ACH Board of Trustees members, hospital administrators, department managers
and employees in addition to
architects. The architectural
firm of Hoefer, Wysockie and
Associates of Kansas City, Mo.,
is leading the design.
The design team will define
space needs, discuss ways to
improve efficiency, and work
toward finalizing the new facility plan, according to a press
release from the hospital.
The team is looking for
design solutions that will serve
patients far into the future,

Thomas Foster Snouffer, 89,
died Saturday, April 20, 2013, of
Alzheimers
at Monticello
Assisted Living
Center in Idaho
Falls.
He was born
Oct. 14, 1923,
in Deercreek,
Okla., to H.O.
and
Lela
Snouffer
Snouffer.
He served
his country in WWII and completed
16 missions in B-14 and B-17 aircraft, being shot down near the end
of the European War, where he and
his crew survived being held in a
German prisoner of war camp for
a brief time. During his combat
service, Tom received medals such
as the Bronze Star, Oak Clusters,
an Air Medal and a Presidential
Citation. He retired from active
service to inactive service in 1958.
He was an unabashed patriot from
his early years to the time of his
death.
Thereafter, Tom was briefly
employed as a crop-duster and
later turned his love of flying into
a position as executive pilot for the
natural gas industry. It was a trip
to Idaho Falls involving that position when he decided the beauty of
Idaho and its surrounding area was
where he wanted to live.
He moved his wife and family
from Ottawa, Kan., in 1957, where
he owned and operated his electrical contracting business, Snouffer
Electric. In 1979, after suffering a
heart attack, he retired from his
electrical business and worked
briefly in real estate.
During his lifetime in Idaho,
Tom was active in the Civitan
Club, where he was honored with
the Civitan of the Year Award in
1968-1969. He was also active in the
Bonneville County Sheriffs Jeep
Patrol for many years.
He was an avid fisherman and
enjoyed golf and flying remote control model airplanes. He enjoyed
life in general.
Tom is survived by his wife of
62 years, Donna; a son, Thomas
Snouffer Jr. of Idaho Falls; and
a daughter, Jann (Tom) NeiersSquires of Boise; two grandchildren, Scott (Traci) Snouffer of
Thornton, Colo., and Brindon
Neiers of Boise; and four greatgrandchildren, Easton, Quinton,
Blake and Arianna.
He was preceded in death by his
parents; his brother, Mike; and his
sister, Izetta.
His family wishes to thank the
staff of Monticello Assisted Living
for their loving attention to Tom
during his stay at their facility.
Per Toms wishes, graveside services will be in Colony, Kan., at a
later date.
We have no doubt that he would
wish his friends to simply remember him.

demolish a house that sits on
the property. The demo has
been a slow process in order to
meet FAA guidelines to qualify
for reimbursement of expenses,
Martin said.
After the house demolition
is completed, it would be a
good time for city leaders to
thoroughly review the Airport
Master Plan and decide how
they want to proceed with the
final project, the runway extension, Martin said.
Peine said he and other commissioners would need to take
time to comb through a great
deal of material associated with
the Airport Master Plan, but he
was looking forward to learning
more about the projects.

town by making it illegal to
store furniture outside. He said
some people store furniture and
appliances outside, on porches
and in yards, giving the property a shabby look.
This is an effort to address
what is an eyesore to a lot of
people, he said.
But all three city commissioners said they were concerned
that the language of Solanders
ordinance was too broad. The
ordinance also does not say how
long something could be outside
before it would violate the law,
which could mean that someone
who was moving could be in
violation if any item was left on
a porch or in a yard even for a
short period of time.
The ordinance would prohibit
any furniture, except patio furniture that was constructed and
intended for outside use. It also
would prohibit any appliances,
any air conditioning units, and
any plumbing fixtures like toilet
bowls and sinks. It also would
prohibit any television receiver,
radio, speaker, camera or video
equipment including tripods
and stands. It would apply to
items inside an open garage or
shed.
A violation would be considered a misdemeanor crime, and
could be punishable by jail time
and/or a fine of up to $2,500.
We have an opportunity to
wear them down before their
pocketbook runs dry. Each day
they have it out is a separate
violation, Solander said.
Commissoners said they
were concerned that the ordinance would target such things
as central air conditioner units
and satellite television receivers, among other things that
could be legitimate working
items on a property. Outdoor
living areas are becoming more
popular, but under Solanders
ordinance it would be illegal to
keep a refrigerator, sink or television in an outdoor living area,
Commissioner Preston Peine
said. He said some people repurpose old furniture and appliances as yard art or planters,
and they would be in violation.
He also said he was concerned
that anyone who uses a tripod to
hold a satellite receiver would
no longer be allowed to do so
if they passed Solanders ordinance.
Solander said the intent is to
clean up the town, not to target
people who are making responsible use of such products. He
said enforcement would be up
to city staff, including zoning
and police officers.
Its my decision whats prosecuted, Solander said.
Commissioner
Gordon
Blackie objected, saying that
the law would remain on the
books long after current staff
had retired or moved on to
other employment. A future law
enforcement officer or prosecutor may not see the law the same
way.
Solander and City Manager
Joyce Martin said the ordinance
was needed to allow city leaders to force people to clean up
properties. Similar ordinances
prohibit trash and weeds, but do
not address furniture and appliances. Solander said the ordinance was written so it could
be expanded to include more
items.
We need something with
teeth, Martin said.
Commissioners said they
support the idea behind the
ordinance, and agree it is important to keep properties tidy and
appealing within the city limits.
They asked Solander to rework
the ordinance so that it targets
people who are storing junk,
and not those who make appropriate use of items outside.

The goal is to plan for
the future of health care in
Anderson County by designing a modern facility that will
meet the communitys needs
for the next 60 years, Pigott
said. The design team has put
a lot of time and thought into
this process and we are working
collaboratively with all departments to ensure every detail
is considered as we design the
new facility.
We expect that the design
and development phase to take
approximately five more weeks
and then the team will move
into the final construction document phase, Jim Stearman,
architect, added, discussing
next steps and ongoing plans to
share with local residents. The
final renderings will be drawn

sees no harm in seizing phone records
of the Associated Press in order to
find out who leaked information to the
news bureau for a story. What might be
thought daunting manacles will prove
no match for the easy-going, slip-free
Chief Executive of Style.
Back in the 80s they used to call
Ronald Reagan the Teflon Coated
President, because try as they might,
the press that detested him so couldnt
get any of his foibles to stick to him in
the public eye not a ballooning budget
deficit, not the Iran-Contra affair, not
the murder of 241 Marines in Lebanon,
not his apparent dreamy disconnect
with the day-to-day aspects of governing. But the recent three-punch which
has finally awoken the American media
to President Obamas utter inability to
lead has reminded us that Teflon lives.
The chorus is not a recent one.
There were those who warned early on
that a politician who had not even completed his first term in the U.S. Senate
and whos primary career had been as
a law school lecturer and a community
organizer was too green to be considered for the presidency. The voting public disagreed. Twice.
But while ignoring the presidents
failings up to this point a pull out plan
that assures failure in Afghanistan,
broken promises to close the terrorist
detention camp at Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba, and a lingering five-year recession in most parts of the economy the
mainstream media seems to have now
finally awakened. Even Obamas fans
in the mainstream press cannot ignore
the unleashing of the true American
Godzilla the Internal Revenue Service
against conservative political groups
who oppose the liberal manifesto. So to
for the Department of Justice in seizing
phone records without a court action
to ascertain who might have leaked
information to the Associated Press
regarding a successful counter terrorism effort. Despite the medias finally
paying attention to the largesse of a
governmental philosophy built on governmental largesse, the criticism will
fall on deaf ears.
While it was a general public agreement in philosophy and his natural
likeability that shielded Reagan from
his failings, Obama will escape harm
largely because the modern electorate
fails to understand the gravity of the
emerging firestorm of stories, much
less the criticism that followed the
president to this point. There was a
time when having a U.S. Ambassador
dragged into a foreign street and sodomized and murdered by criminal
thugs incited the U.S. Government and
its citizens to action, but the Obama
electorate is too busy texting its bffs
to care.
If our country cant overcome its
lethargy in what Tennyson describes
in Ulysses as a savage race that hoard,
and sleep, and feed, and know not me,
then we have much to fear.
I would like to comment on the local
schools dropping the optional finals
policy. I really have to wonder who
the any number of students are who
contacted the school board to complain that they were poorly prepared
for college. From my experience the
students who do this are the same students who God blessed with natural
scholastic talent and so they put forth
very little effort in high school. They
dont do anything that would tax or
stretch that talent (the remainder of
this message was cut off).
Patriot games at the IRS
BY RICH LOWRY
NATIONAL REVIEW
It sounds like the plot from a dystopian
libertarian novel. The word patriot and
the phrase educating on the Constitution
and Bill of Rights triggered heightened
scrutiny from the most
intrusive agency in the
federal government.
We now know that the
Internal Revenue Service
did indeed target conservative groups, as had long
been rumored and oftdenied. The news is a perLowry
verse confirmation of the
groups worldview, and a
challenge to President Barack Obamas. He
always harangues us about putting more
trust in government, and then you find out
that the IRS has been singling out his political enemies.
This isnt an unaccustomed role for
the IRS. It was notoriously used as a partisan bludgeon by Franklin D. Roosevelt
and Richard Nixon, an abuse that was a
Watergate impeachment count. In this case,
the IRS gave special scrutiny to conservative groups filing for tax-exempt status
as so-called 501(c)(4) organizations. Their
applications would be flagged if an offending
phrase or issue popped up, say, tea party,
or statements criticizing how the country
is being run, or concern about the federal
debt. Then, the group might be hit with massive document requests and queries about
the activities of family members of board
members and key officers.
No one defends the propriety of any
of this. President Obama says it is outrageous, and even the IRS calls it, drawing on
that elastic Washington word, inappropriate. So how did it happen? The IRS explana-
tion is that it was an innocent mistake by
the rubes out in the Cincinnati office, who
apparently lack an appreciation for objectivity and the rule of law, not to mention common sense.
We will learn soon enough how this holds
up. But Ken Vogel, a reporter at Politico who
has covered the IRS, says via twitter that
the Cincinnati office has little autonomy
and mostly just follows DCs instructions.
Certainly, if the IRS had a rogue operation on its hands, it didnt act like it. An
agency vigilant in defense of the rights of
citizens and of its own reputation would
have exposed and shut down the misconduct
immediately.
Reports say that the IRS targeting of
conservatives began as early as 2010, and
senior IRS officials learned of the practice
two years ago. In March 2012 congressional
testimony, then-IRS Commissioner Douglas
Shulman repeatedly denied any targeting of
conservatives. Evidently, no one who knew
about it did his or her boss the favor of telling him he had misled Congress.
There are two steps toward making it
right. One is a thorough congressional investigation and the firing of anyone involved in
the harassment or in looking the other way
or covering it up.
The other is, as much as possible, to
remove political regulation from agencies
like the IRS that can become the tool of one
party and its partisan agenda. The Federal
Election Commission has its faults, but it is
designed to be bipartisan and is better-suited
to making politically sensitive judgments.
Needless to say, ours should be a country
where you can start a group with the word
patriot in the title and not incur the hostility of the American government.

Review.
Where the Legislature stalls
We are now at the point of the 2013
Kansas legislative session where the street
of Responsible Public Policymaking intersects with another street, this one named
Crowd Management.
And, were at the point where we really
dont know which of those streets has the
right-of-way.
Responsible Public Policymaking
involves putting together a budget, and
possibly a tax plan that will allow the state
to take care of its people, to provide education, public services, social welfare and
such.
The street named Crowd Management?
Thats very basically keeping legislators
most of the 165 lawmakers arent involved
in the actual assembly of budgets and
taxesbusy, or, at least out of trouble.
As simple as that sounds, by this time
of the session, were down to the leadership and the six members of the two
key conference committeesTax and
Budgetwho are producing the product
to keep the rest of the members occupied.
Its the three House and three Senate
members on the conference committees
a dozen legislatorswho are working or
not working on reports that will be sent to
the House and Senate for yes or no votes.
Theres no amending a conference committee report under legislative rules. So,
its up or down.
Reject a report, and it goes back to
the conference committee for adjustments
that will pick up the votes to approve it.
Its bargaining and negotiating by each
chambers confereeswhat each team
believes its chamber will approve. It takes
time, lots of staff work, and meanwhile,
lawmakers not involved in the deal-making are…well, at loose ends.
Theyre generally not learning crafts,
say embroidery or small engine repair.
Theyre sitting around, either on the
House and Senate floors or in their offices
and hallways until theyve told everyone
by Martin Hawver
KANSAS STATEHOUSE COLUMNIST
the same joke at least twice.
This is part of the job that most legislators earned by sending out mail, going
to coffees and public meetings and sweating on your doorstep last fall to win. Not
exactly what you tend to think about when
you vote for a senator or representative, is
it?
But thats how it happens, and while
legislators are waiting for a chance to vote
on those reports that will wrap up the
session, and hopefully make public policy
that works for the state and for their constituents, there are critics out there who
dont know how the Legislature actually
works, griping about dragging out the session and getting paid while theres not a
lot of result to show every day.
Not a real pretty picture of democracy
in action. But thats how it plays out in the
last few days of the Legislature. Theres
waiting, and then theres balancing the
boredom of waiting for getting the states
business done, even when you can hear
the sound of a lawmaker jangling his/her
car keys in their pockets.
Thats how it goes.

Whoever came up with the new ordinance about what cannot be in our
own yards, porches or carports: we
dont live in a gated, private community. This is just a small town. We own
our small piece of land and we all have
the need to store items. Most storage
places are not on the front porch or
in the front yard. Some places have
boats, trailers, campers, rabbit hutches, chickens and so on. Do you want
anyone to live here? Just keep this up
and people will be afraid to live in this
town. This is ridiculous.
Hey, Andy and Barney down at the
jail. Thats why they have architects
and engineer blueprints so you can
follow the blueprints. The blueprints
youre following dont sound like its
working too good. Thats because it
dont.
I saw the thing in the paper this week
and I cant believe theyve got this
bunch of lame brains still working
for the county. They dont get sufficient feasibility studies if they get a
feasibility study at all, and if they get
it, its usually when its too late and
already theyve committed the money.
Then they find out its not going to
work and were stuck for the money.
I think theyd be better off to draw
lots instead of having elections. If you
go to the right church or righ social
group or the right club and keep your
mouth shut, youre a shoe-in.
Just found out Greeley has a new
landfill dump at the end of Main
Street just before you go over the
tracks. Congratulations, Greeley.
I paid my taxes, I voted yes on the new
school, then I go to the Play Day and
some of the helpers there were rude
as could be to my kids and some of
the other kids. Some of those helpers
need to be trained how to deal with
these children because there were
pushing and shoving on them.
The posted speed limit along Park
Road is 30 mph, and maybe one out
of 10 drive that and the rest are doing
50-55. It wont be long til the kids are
out walking there to go to the pool.
If the cops would patrol that area we
could probably could have had the jail
paid for, the school paid for and the
upcoming hospital and maybe part of
the national debt, but theyd rather
advertise for tourism and then give
them tickets coming through town
really showing that were just here to
invite them in then give them tickets.
Thank you.
Id like to thank Allison Russell
for the great job she had done this
year with the vocal department at
ACJSHS. It has been such a pleasure
to go there this year and hear and see
the students instead of listening to
the pianist and the piano. We go there
to hear our children and our grand
children and our neighbors, not to
hear the pianist. Thank you, thank
you, thank you.

Crest teachers retire
Christ is Gods
living word
At the very end of the
account of Jesus and the
Samaritan woman in John
chapter 4 we read that the disciples returned from town with
food and they urged Jesus to
eat something. But he (Jesus)
said to them, I have food to eat
that you know nothing about.
The disciples then began to
talk among themselves and
wondered if someone could
have brought him food. Jesus
then responds to them. My
food, said Jesus, is to do the
will of him who sent me and to
accomplish his work.
Corporations pay thousands of dollars to consultants
to develop mission statements
like this. In these few words
Jesus set forth his purpose.
This does not mean that the
Lord Jesus refrained from eating actual food but rather it
means that the great aim and
object of his life was not to
cater to the body but to do the
will of God.
Because of their earthly
outlook the disciples failed to
understand the meaning of
the Lords words. They did
not appreciate the fact that the
joy and happiness that Jesus
experienced temporarily lifted
him above the bodily wants for
food and drink.
It is difficult for the
human mind to understand
this Jesus. One of the best
explanations I ever heard is
as follows. Taking the very
nature of a servant and being
made in human likeness he

never been before (human),
without ceasing to be what he

Johns gospel begins by
speaking about the Word.
In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with
God and the Word was God.
He was with God in the beginning. (John 1:1-2)
Jesus
(the Word ) did not have a
beginning himself but existed
from all eternity. as far as the
human mind can go back the
Lord Jesus was there. A real
person who lived with God.
In John 1:14 we read; The
Word became flesh and dwelt
among us. The Believers Bible
Commentary explains. By
coming into the world, Christ
has perfectly revealed to us
what God is like. By dying
on the cross, he has told us
how much God loves us. Thus
Christ is Gods living Word to
man, the expression of Gods
thoughts. That should give
each of us pause for thought.

of digital timing equipment at
the league meet. Campbell was
credited with the league win.

Schmidt praises legislature on new ID theft law
TOPEKA Kansas Attorney
General Derek Schmidt today
praised the Legislature for
approving a tough new law to
combat identity theft.
Identity theft is one of the
fastest growing crimes in the
United States, Schmidt said.
Our law needs to keep up with
the problem, and this aggressive new approach approved by
the Legislature will strengthen
our hand in fighting identity
thieves.
The new law makes identity theft a violation of the
Kansas Consumer Protection
Act, which allows the Attorney
Generals office to receive and
investigate complaints about
identity theft. It also allows
the Attorney General to seek
injunctions and impose fines on
identity thieves. The new law is
in addition to the previous law,
which remains in effect, under
which identity theft is a crime.
There are times when a
criminal investigation and
a prison term are the right
response to identity theft,
Schmidt said. But there also
are times when the greater agility available to law enforcement
under the Consumer Protection
Act will be a more effective way
of obtaining justice for victims
of identity theft.
The new law was approved
last month in the Senate 39 to
1 and was approved today in

Avenue of Flags dates back to Bicentennial
As the year 1976 was approaching and Americans were making
plans to observe and celebrate
its United States Bicentennial,
those then holding positions in
Garnetts City Hall wanted our
citizens to be included in such
events. A committee of about a
dozen area residents was named
to serve in that capacity. Many
ideas were suggested with the
final vote being an Avenue of
Flags at Garnett Cemetery.
People would be asked to contribute the casket flags, which
the United States military had
presented to those survivors
of deceased persons who had
served our country. Flags came
from far and wide from family members of persons from
Anderson County who had
served in all branches of the
military. Such generosity there
was! And what a fantastic site
those flags have been over the
years, so very impressive!
For their part in the Avenue
of Flags, members of Garnetts
Four Winds Chapter Daughters
of the American Revolution
wanted to be participants.
Members of the then-small chapter had to show positive proof
of service in the Revolutionary
War for an ancestor enabling
them to become DAR members. The members made replicas of the Betsy Ross flags of
that time period to honor and
recognize the part their ancestors had played in gaining the
freedoms 237 years ago, which
American citizens have enjoyed.
Those flags, with their field of
blue with a circle of 13 white
stars, have flown for 37 years.
Sadly, they have become ragged.
Four Winds Chapter members
voted to replace those Betsy Ross
flags.
Visitors to Garnett Cemetery
where these patriotic flags are
flown each Memorial Day can see
those new, bright flags this year
during the Memorial Day weekend. Members of the Four Winds
Chapter have chosen to replace
eight of those Betsy Ross flags.
Those flags are for the Soldier
or Patriot and by whom originally contributed: John Tate,
Laura (Mrs. Larry) Cox and her
mother the late Mrs. Nina Sailor;
Edward Tyler and his son Robert
Tyler (one flag), Juanita (Tyler)
Kellerman; Jacob Loesch/Lesh;
the late Gilma Lesh (Mrs. Guy)
Rogers; Daniel Newton; the late
Mrs. Pauline Benjamin; Martin
B. Dreibelis, the late Mrs.
Arlene Hiner; Israel Hils, the
late Mrs. Margaret Kennedy;
Ebenezer Snow, the late Mrs.
Bernice (Don) Stith; Frederick
Kellerman, Juanita for her late
husband Lawrence Kellerman.
Any female aged 18 or older
who would like to join Four
Winds Chapter is most welcome
to contact any of the Chapter
members, or most expressly Iona
Sweers, or Juanita Kellerman,
who co-chairs as Registrars, for

The benefits of exercise
are both social and physical.
Exercise and physical activity help you to stay active and
independent while helping to
increase muscle mass to assist
in mobility. Exercise has also
been proven to increase mental
cognition in older adults. Older
adults do better when they
continue to maintain relationships within the community and
their relationships with family,
friends and neighbors tend to
flourish as wellexercising the
body and mind helps achieve
both of these. Older adults who
stay active are also more likely
to volunteer and be involved in
civic and social groups, which,
allows them the opportunity to
share their wisdom and experience while making valuable contributions to their community.
Older adults have a variety of
options for exercise and physical activity. Exercise should
be focused on helping improve
balance, range of motion and
flexibility and increasing muscle strength without putting
too much strain on the body.
Exercise that is too strenuous
can increase the risks of falling
and broken bones. Below is a
list of common exercises proven
beneficial to older adults:
Walking
Biking
Gardening
Stretching programs
Swimming programs
Choreographed fitness such
as dancing, yoga, water aerobics
or tai chi
Structured games such as
Wii bowling or miniature golf
Brain games including cards,
puzzles, trivia and board games
Volunteering with community based groups
Joining a local fitness center
or senior center exercise program
There are many ways to get
physical exercise and to stay
active so reaching into the cabinet, taking a short walk or buttoning your favorite shirt remain
things you can do more easily
and without assistance. Contact
the Area Agency on Aging for a
list of exercise programs in the
community and at local senior
centers at 785-242-7200 or 1-800633-5621.

Rep. Jones returns for veto session
BY KEVIN JONES
KANSAS HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Were back. After a month
break from the Topeka whirlwind, we returned Monday May
8th for veto session. During
this time we will vote on bills
that have passed out of either
the House or the Senate that
are now within conference committees made up of House and
Senate members, to work for
agreements to any differences
that both sides of the Capitol
may have. When the conference committees come to agree
on a particular bill, it is then
brought before the Senate and
the House again for a final vote.
If it passes both, it goes before
the governor to be signed.
Veto session is notorious for
taking an excessive amount of
time doing last minute work to
pass legislation (and sometimes
force legislation). The goal this
session was to get done in 80
days having a more effective
session with less spending. The
trouble is that any disagreement can cause us to miss our
goal.
Currently, there is a disagreement that has set the
stage for this veto session. Of
the tax plans put forward by
the Governor, by the Senate,
and by the House, the main
sticking point is retaining the
current sales tax rate of 6.3%
that is supposed to sunset to
5.7% as of 2014. The Governors
original tax plan included this
sales tax being retained permanently and it removed the
opportunity for you to write off
your Mortgage Interest during
tax season. Both the Senate and
the House passed a tax plan
that still allows the Mortgage
interest to be written off at a
decreasing rate in proportion to
the increasing income tax savings, but the House wants the
sales tax increase to fall off and
the Senate wants to keep it on.
So far I have not heard of a
compromise. It will come. It has
to come. It is a waiting game for
most of us outside of the conference committee. When finally a compromise is reached, it
will come to the Senate and
the House and we will vote to
concur or not, and then send it
on to the Governor or back to
conference committee.
It is a little frustrating being
in Topeka and just waiting
for the House and Senate and
Governors office to come to
agreements. There have been
activist groups for both the developmentally disabled carve out
and for the Education Common
Core Curriculum unrest this
week. As I met with, listened
to, and watched these groups,
I could not help but think that
at this point in session there
is not much that can be done
on these issues until next year
unless a conference committee
does something drastic. These
are both issues for all of us
to become more aware of and
knowledgeable on.
I do know the House is interested in common sense reductions in the size of government.
This week demonstrated that
some of the best people to
identify those savings are state
employees. A state employee
was awarded $1,025 because of
a suggestion to install motion
activated paper towel dispensers that saved the state $10,025
last year. The state has an
Employee Suggestion Program
that rewards employees who
suggest an idea that saves the
state money over a documented
12-month period. The employee
receives 10% of the savings, the
agency receives 10% and the
rest goes into the State General
Fund. Making the best use of
tax payer funds is extremely
important, and we are eager to
find more savings and efficiencies. Any ideas for savings can
be submitted to the Department
of Administration.
I was present for the official signing of both SB136 and
HB2066 both of which I carried
in the House. It was a pleasure
to carry these bills this session.
SB136 is the bill that will allow
Veterans to have VETERAN
put on their drivers license if
desired.
HB2066 allows a patient to
self-refer to a Physical Therapist
for evaluation and treatment.

Just thought I would let
you know that deer ticks are
out and very active. So far Ive
only found two crawling on my
clothes and none attached to
my body anywhere.
The loathsome deer tick,
now known as the black-legged
tick, is defined more by the disease it spreads than by its own
characteristics.
Deer ticks are blood-sucking members of the arachnid
family and were vaulted into
the public consciousness in the
mid-1970s when it was discovered that they are the primary
(and possibly only) transmitters or vectors, for Lyme disease.
Lyme disease is a debilitory, though rarely fatal,
infection that is often misdiagnosed because early symptoms closely resemble the flu.
Victims usually have a slowly
spreading bulls eye-shaped
rash where the tick attached,
but not always. If untreated
by antibiotics, patients can
develop a variety of health
problems, including facial
paralysis, heart palpitations,
arthritis, severe headaches,
and neurological disorders.
Associated mainly with
the northeast, deer ticks live

for local archeology information.
throughout the central and
eastern United States, wherever their favorite hosts, deer and
rodents, are present. Western
black-legged ticks live west of
the Rocky Mountains and are
vectors for Lyme disease.
Significantly smaller than
the more commonly encountered dog tick, adult female
deer ticks are about as big as a
sesame seed and have reddish
hind bodies with black dorsal
markings. Males are slightly
smaller than females and are
solid dark brown.
Deer ticks live about two
years and go through four life
phases: egg, larva, nymph and
adult. They feed exclusively on
animal blood and eat only three
times during their lives: once
to molt from larva to nymph,
once from nymph to adult, and
once as adults lay eggs. They
can contract the bacteria that
causes Lyme disease from an
infected host at any of these
feedings, but transmit it only
during the second or third.
They must remain attached
for at least 24 hours for the
bacteria to transmit.
Larvae are miniscule, no bigger than the period at the end
of this sentence, and feed only
on birds or mice. Nymphs are
about as big as a poppy seed,
but like adults, will seek larger
hosts, including deer, dogs and
humans. Adult females mate
on and off a host, then feed
for several days, swelling to
twice their normal size. Once
engorged, they drop off, lay
their eggs amid the leaves and
die.
Lyme disease is currently
one of the fastest-growing
vector-borne diseases in the
United States. More than
14,000 cases are reported annually, but because symptoms so
closely resemble the flu and
usually go away without treatment, scientists estimate as
many as nine out of every 10
cases go unreported.

Four Winds DAR attends state conference
Three members of Four
Winds Chapter Daughters
of the American Revolution
attended the three day, 115th
State Conference of the Kansas
Society DAR, which was held
at the Capital Plaza Hotel in
Topeka the weekend of April
26.
Attending
were
Alice
Walker, Chapter Regent as well
as Honorary Kansas State DAR
Regent; Caitlin Jackson a delegate as well as a Page; and
Gretchen Jackson Magee, who
also Paged. She is an associate
member, having been a 10-year
Four Winds member before
moving to Arkansas where she
is now a full member.
The DAR has three main
goals: Historic Preservation,
Education and Patriotism.
Among the several very interesting speakers there were three of
each whom talked on one of the
goals. The Regent of District of
Columbia told of her project for
Historic Preservation had been
to find, replace and restore the
Boundary Stones that marked
the 10-mile area that George

Washington had chosen for the
new federal government. These
40 markers were one square foot
and set in the ground to protrude 2 feet. Since these were
all set by 1793, some were missing, some badly damaged and
some well-covered with grass
and sod. The DC chapters now
have the help of the National
Park Service to maintain them.
Another speaker was Lt. Col.
Jennifer Minus, a West Point
Graduate, a history professor
there, and who had recently
returned from a tour of duty
in Iraq, having done two tours
in Bosnia. She combined
Freedom and Patriotism in her
talk, which brought tears to
many eyes. The Kansas Society
had given $3,000 to Landstull
Medical Hospital for personal
needs of the severely wounded
as they arrive by air from the
battlefield with nothing, and
$1,000 each for San Antonio
Base, for Camp Attebury and
for Walter Reed Hospital for the
personal needs of the service
men and women who arrive for
continued hospital care or for
those who are deploying.
The Assistant Director
of Crossnore School, which
is one of the five schools in
Appalachia that DAR support
mainly for students in intolerable home situations, spoke
about the school and the new
director. She introduced the
young woman with her who
was given a $6,000 college scholarship from KSDAR as well a
shower of items for her college
dorm room.
Since we are small in number
of members, we often feel that
we do not accomplish much,
but as we get state awards for
the amount and quality of the
work that we do, we have to be
pleased. This year we received
13 awards: For outstanding
work in the American History
Essay Contests; For outstanding
print coverage of the History
Essay contest (thank you to the
two Anderson County newspapers – you are the greatest);
For Americanism (our flag
project); For Constitution Week
work; For excellence in DAR
school programs; For Historic
McDonald 40th anniversary
Preservation; For exceptional
support for Juniors (who are
full members age 18-35); For
outstanding achievement in
Project Patriot; For assisting an
Arizona Chapter prospective
member by two members going
to Eureka and finally finding
the needed proof and learned
how to access county records,
which have been sent to the Salt
Mines at Hutchinson for storage; and lastly for donations
to the state regents projects
at Crossnore School and to the
President Generals project of
national building repair. Alice
Walker received an individual
award for her work on the State
Library Committee.

from a person, man or woman,
who gave service, military or
civilian, during the American

Memorial Day was officially
proclaimed on May 5, 1868 by
General John Logan, national commander of the Grand
Army of the Republic The
holiday was first observed on
May 30, 1868 when flowers were
placed on the graves of Union
and Confederate soldiers at
Arlington National Cemetery.
New York was the first state to
officially recognize the holiday.
By 1890 it was recognized by
all of the northern states. It
was after World War I when
the South acknowledged the
day. This was when the holiday changed from honoring
just those who died fighting
in the Civil War to honoring
Americans who died fighting in
any war.

Initially the Allison family
considered fostering because
they were interested in adopting. They ended up choosing
to become a licensed TFI foster
home because of two resource
family workers who opened
their eyes to the struggle that
foster children face.
We chose TFI because of
the resource family workers
we met, Amanda said. They
taught us about strengths and
needs and they showed us the
love that they felt for the foster
children that they worked with.
It was not just a job to them.
They truly cared about the kids
and they wanted to make a difference for them. They taught
us that there was a need for
loving forever families as well
as foster families.
There is a great need for foster families in every community in Kansas. Thousands of
Kansas children are in need of

Local foster family makes a difference diebolt
Making a difference for even
one child….can mean everything. This is the mantra that
TFI Family Services, Inc. (TFI)
foster parents Amanda and
Davy Allison of Garnett, Kan.
have adopted in their tenure as
a foster family. They say their
favorite part of being foster parents is seeing the children in
their home succeed.
You cannot change their
past, but you can give them
hope for tomorrow, TFI foster
parent Amanda Allison said.
To be able to give them hope
and to teach them to believe
in their self is one of the best
rewards. Foster children come
with so little, yet they bring
so much to your home. They
want what every child wants, a
chance.
Similar to many other soonto-be foster families, Amanda
and Davy began their journey in
a PS-MAPP class (Partnering for
Safety and Permanence Model
Approach to Partnerships in
Parenting), a 10-week foster
parent training course designed
to educate prospective families
about the children they may
have placed in their home. In
their course, they were asked to
take an imaginary journey and
step into the shoes of a foster
child.
They asked us to imagine
the fear, the heart ache, the
bewilderment that the children
in foster care face, Amanda
said. It made me realize how
strong these kids had to be at
such a young age, and it scared
me because I could not imagine
that kind of loss in my life. It
made me realize how much of
a difference a wonderful foster family could make for those
children. A family that could
take them into their home,
wrap their arms around them
and help them through one of
the most difficult times in their
about a mission project dear
to the heart of Garnet resident
Reva Sparks. She makes little
girls dresses out of pillowcases and sends them to children
in Libya and the Ivory Coast.
Although she could not attend
the meeting, Reva sent some of
the dresses she has made. They
are sew simple and cute.
Hundreds of little girls have
been truly blessed to receive a
dress sewn with love just for
them.
