Little immediate relief in Kellys reopening plan
Phase 1 of plan still
filled with restrictions
on public, business
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA Employees and
owners of many small businesses were disappointed last
week to find out a long-awaited
May 4 end to Kansas Governor
Laura Kellys statewide Covid19 shutdown order was to be
replaced by a new executive
order that initially offered few
real changes to the previous
shutdown.
Perhaps the most notable change is an allowance
for restaurants to reopen for
inside dining
as long as
they can meet
6-foot social
distancing,
group limits
no more than
10,
physical barriers
between seatKelly
ed groups of
customers
and cleaning regulations. Most
restaurants in the local area
were making plans to reopen
tihs week under those provisions.
Kellys new order set in place
a three-phase plan that extends
the reopening of Kansas
through a final phase-out June
15. The meat of the plan basically stair-steps allowable crowd
gathering sizes and allowable
events and business activities
while continuing to monitor
infection rates in the state.
The plan allows for tougher
restrictions to be implemented
by local units of government
if they choose, but restrictions
cant be less than those specified in the Governors plan.
Kellys plan is uniform for all
counties in Kansas, although
Anderson and 23 other counties
have recorded no cases since
the beginning of the pandemic,
and as of Friday 57 counties
had logged less than 10 cases.
Statewide cases numbered
4,449 on Friday, primarily in
more populace counties and
those hosting large meat packing operations, with 130 deaths.
A task force formed in
Anderson County from the
local government, emergency
services, business and health
care sectors opted not to impose
any stricter mandates on top of
Kellys plan, since Anderson
County had no record of live
Covid-19 cases.
The initial phase of Kellys
plan, which will remain in
effect through at least May
18, varies little from the existing shutdown order and still
restricts gatherings of more
than 10 people and the opening
of most public facilities and
venues. Recommendations to
wear face masks and to limit
non-essential travel were still
in place.
The order specifies Phase 2
of the plan to begin not before
May 18 with Phase 3 start-
ing not before June 1, and a
presumptive phase-out of the
order by June 15.
Moving forward, we will
measure our progress by monitoring our testing rates, COVID19 hospitalizations, ability to
contact trace, and availability
of personal protective equipment, Kelly said. Our testing
rate needs to increase, and we
will work diligently to improve
it. We will do all we can to
avoid setbacks in our reopening process.

You still
gotta pay
Covid or no Covid,
real estate, personal
property taxes due Mon.
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA Covid-19 may have
brought area residents a break
in the filing deadline for their
federal income taxes last month,
but the virus will bring no such
bonus for real estate taxpayers
looking at the impending Kansas
deadline to pay their second half
property taxes.
Those taxes are still due to be
paid next Monday, May 11.
Anderson County Treasurer
Dena McDaniel said last week
no delay or moratorium on
those second-half taxes had been
authorized by Kansas law, and
all applicable deadlines and penalties were still in effect.
Unfortunately, property tax
extensions cannot be granted due
to the various funding streams,
budgets and multiple jurisdictions impacted by tax revenues
many of which are critical for
funding public safety, McDaniel

Deadline June 1 to run for elected office
If youve ever wanted to run
for political office, you have to
sign up by June deadline
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The deadline to file for elected office in the November 2020 general
election is 12 noon June 1, and a host of
local incumbents have filed to retain their
seats so far with no
opposition in any race.
If two or more candidates of either the
Democrat or Republican
parties file for the same
office, they face each
other in an August primary election to determine which candidate
Oliver
proceeds to the general
election in November. If
only one party member files for any particular seat, that candidate moves through
the primary election and onto the general
election with the possibility of facing no
opposition at all.
Primaries in local races have traditionally been rare. Often, candidates for city,
county, school district and state legislative offices face no opposition.
The only new face so far among those
local office filings is Elizabeth Oliver,
assistant Montgomery County Attorney,
who filed to run for the office of Anderson
County. Oliver worked at Kansas Legal
Services and as a public defender and has
worked in private practice in Franklin
and Anderson County. She also has
served as assistant county attorney for
Sumner County. Oliver teaches as an
adjunct instructor at Ottawa University
and Neosho County Community College,
and in addition to her law degree holds
a bachelors in public administration, a
masters in library science and a masters
in English.
Oliver, a Republican, is to date the
only filing for the office. Incumbent county
attorney
Brandon Jones
accepted
an
appointment
in October 2018
as
Franklin
C o u n t y
Attorney and
announced at
the time he
would not seek
re-election

County.
Other local
office
filings
include incumbents Sandra Baugher for
county register of deeds, Vern Valentine
for county sheriff, Dena McDaniel at county treasurer, Jerry Howarter at county
commissioner District II and Dave Pracht
at county commissioner District III.
Fifth District Representative Mark
Samsel, a Republican, filed for re-election in April after serving his first term.
Twelfth District State Senator Caryn
Tyson, a Republican, also filed for office
Friday. Parts of Anderson County fall in
both Tyson and Samsels districts.
Members of the public interested in
filing for elected office may do so in a number of different capacities:

As we read through the creation story at the end of every
day, days one through six, there
is one common thread. We
read, And there was evening
and there was morning. This
statement however is not mentioned at the end of the seventh
day.
Genesis 2:2-3 tells us, By the
seventh day God had finished
the work he had been doing; so
on the seventh day he rested
from all his work. And God
blessed the seventh day and
made it holy, because on it he
rested from all the work of creating he had done. There is no
mention of a seventh evening
and morning as in the prior
six days of creation. Matthew
Henry in his commentary on
Genesis summarizes creation
as follows. The heavens and
the earth are finished pieces

and so are all the creatures in
them. So perfect is Gods work
that nothing can be added to or
taken from it.
The Lord has not stopped
working, he continues to sustain his creation. Hebrews
1:3 tells us. The Son is the
radiance of Gods glory and
the exact representation of his
being, sustaining all things by
his powerful word. The Lord
is still working to redeem his
people. He cannot rest from
that until all the elect have been
glorified.
In Romans 13:11 Paul tells
us, And do this, understanding the present time. The hour
has come for you to wake up
from your slumber, because our
salvation is nearer now than
when we first believed. Gods

Sabbath day rest is a true rest
but there is a greater rest to
come. Romans 16:20 identifies
the one who robs our rest. The
God of peace will soon crush
Satan under your feet. It is
because of Satan that the perfection of the Garden of Eden was
destroyed. When God invoked
the curse on the land and on
mankind in Genesis 3 the perfect relationship between God
and his creation was broken.
We now wait for our greater
rest to be consummated in the
new heaven and the new earth.
We anticipate the final rest to
come on a weekly basis, the
Lords day Sabbath remembering what Christ has done and
what we have in the consummation of this rest. By observing the Sabbath day we prepare
ourselves to enjoy Gods final
rest. That is why Jesus can say
in Matthew 11:28, Come to me
all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.

so strong as gentleness; nothing so gentle as real strength.
The 23rd Psalm was a favorite of Anns and was her promise.
The Lord is my shepherd, I
lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in
green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet
waters, he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right
paths for his names sake.
Even though I walk through
the darkest valley, I will fear no
evil,
For you are with me; Your
rod and your staff comfort me.
You prepare a table before
me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and
love will follow me all the days
of my life,
And I will dwell in the house
of the Lord FOREVER.

SEPTEMBER 18, 1947 – APRIL 16, 2020
Clara Ann Bunnel-Hornstra,
72, was born September 18,
1947 in Iola, Kansas to Ralph
and Evelyn (Neuenswander)
Bunnel.
She passed away
April 16, 2020
from complications of a
rare autoimmune disease
at her home
in Coburg,
Oregon.
Ann graduated from

Colony High
S c h o o l ,
Colony, Kansas in 1965. She
earned her Bachelors degree
from John Brown University,
Siloam Springs, Arkansas in
1969. During her time at JBU
she met and fell in love with
Herb Hornstra. They were
married August 16, 1980 in
Coburg, Oregon.
In February 1970, Ann began
her career as a Flight Attendant
for TWA and flew with them
until 1992. She began with
Southwest Airlines July 1995
and was still an employee. She
loved to fly but it also allowed
her to visit siblings, nieces and
nephews and friends around
the country. She made it a
point to be at graduations, weddings and special gatherings.
Ann and Herb had many, many
friends from their church family at University Fellowship in
Eugene, Oregon.
Her mission in life was to
serve God through serving
others in a selfless kind way
by encouragement and recognition through the lost art of
handwritten all occasion notes
and letters including birthday,
anniversary, sympathy, thinking of you and thank you notes.
She had a gift of never missing
a birthday or anniversary card
for friends, family and co-workers numbering well in the 100s.
Forty-five years ago, she added
the art of crocheting baby booties, making hundreds for gifts.
For the last eight years,
Ann and Herb volunteered at
Camp Agape (the highest form
of love) which is a four day
camp of sharing Gods love
to 200 children ages 7-17 who
have one or both incarcerated
parents. Ann could not wait
for that camp each summer.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, May 5, 2020
OPINION
Kelly continues needless agony
Governor Laura Kellys one-size-fits-all
approach to the reopening of Kansas after the
Covid-19 shutdown further damages the bureaucracy-hammered Kansas economy, and puts
her in the running with her friend and former
governor Kathleen Sebelius for the dubious title
of most economically damaging governor in
Kansas state history.
Last week Kelly laid out a three-phase blanket plan for the reopening of Kansas that leaned
fully on top-down administration and centralized authorization. Its mandates were based on
the assumption that every county, city, neighborhood, nook and cranny of the state was at
equal risk from a resurgence of Covid-19. Every
restaurant, car dealership, hair salon, bank,
livestock sales and auction company, insurance
office, and other potential commercial or recreational gathering place was ladled with another
helping of state-mandated restrictions, which
in reality varied only slightly from the rules
in place prior to May 3 and which will extend
through at least May 18.
That, despite a continuing confirmation of
the ratio between infections and population
which has chronicled the outbreak from the
beginning: heavier concentrations of population have shown themselves to be consistently
more at risk.
Case in point from Saturdays Covid-10
report from Kansas Department of Health and
Environment: of Kansas 105 counties, 23 had
recorded no cases of people sick with the virus
since public health officials began counting,
and 57 counties had fewer than 10 cases. Those
case counts began when the beginning of the
crisis was broadly recognized in mid-March
and they dont account for the individuals who
have since recovered from the bug.
Still, under both the initial shutdown mandate and even the reopening order from the
Governors office, the Cactus Club Restaurant in
Ness County where no cases were ever recorded
was torpedoed with the same executive order as
was J. Gilberts in Johnson County, where nearly 600 residents tested positive.
Kellys carpet bombing order of the Kansas
economy is evidenced by state tax revenue figures for April which are less than half the $1.18
billion Kansas took in during April 2019. March
unemployment claims skyrocketed as well in
the state to more than 20 times the most recent
weekly average.
Whats worse, Kellys phasing in of a reopening plan that treats the whole state with the
same precautions needed where the virus is
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
more present Johnson and Wyandotte counties for instance ensures a continuing erosion
of the states economic might.
This level of damage wasnt necessary.
Had Kelly the foresight to see past the need
for government to seize the roll as sole protector
of the populace, she might have judged the legitimate but measured health concerns in view
of the more global damage to be done by such
all-encompassing orders. Governors of states
like South Dakota, Nebraska, Arkansas and others made recommendations and set guidelines
for their populations and their commercial
sectors, then trusted in the logic and judgment
of their citizenry. They were never under shutdown orders, and their economies saw less damage and have better prospects moving forward.
By population, demographics and geography,
they are greatly similar to Kansas.
In Kansas the tally of the carnage is yet
incomplete, but Kellys debacle will most certainly approach that of her friend and cohort
Kathleen Sebelius in the latters derailing of a $3
billion private investment to expand a coal-fired
electric generating plant at Holcomb some years
back. Sebelius embrace of green principles
was intended to put her on President Obamas
political short list for bigger things. Indeed, her
appointment to the cabinet post of director of
Health and Human Services during the roll out
of Obamacare left much to be desired. For her
floundering ambition, the Kansas economy paid
the price.
Kellys reopening plan should have stairstepped its phase restrictions based on the
historic impact to date of Covid-19 in individual
counties, instead of stamping all of Kansas
communities like the same bottle cap. Her
over-governance has hurt Kansas through the
days of Covid-19, and will make a longer road
back than need be. ###

It is sure too bad we did not have the governor
of South Dakota as our governor in Kansas. She
is very logical and reasonable and has handled
her state so much better than the governor of
the State of Kansas. Everything has been overblown and blown out of proportion and things
could have been handled a whole lot better. The
representatives and senators need to put some
controls on that governor because shes going
to send us into socialism.
Thank you to the Review for continuing to

we know which newspaper is really here for the

Kansas revenue damage will force decisions
Friday was shocking in the Statehouse.
Yes, government and us folks who hang
out under the Dome had heard the group of
university economists called the Consensus
Revenue Estimate Group (CRE) estimate just
what the states revenues are going to be for
the next 14 months, the end of this fiscal year
and the year that starts July 1.
And when those CRE estimates predict millions of dollars of revenue shortfalls they are
usually due to tax cuts, but not often a change
in the entire landscape of the state, businesses
shutting down, Kansans ordered to stay at
their homes unless they had to grocery shop
or pick up prescriptions or something essential.
Those CRE estimates were just that estimates.
Well, Friday at about noon the Kansas
Department of Revenue released its report
on just how much in taxes the state received
in April first month of the real social and
economic thunderstorm caused by the coronavirus pandemic and those economists
were right with their April 20, semi-annual
estimate. Chillingly right.
Nearly every tax source that the state
depends on to provide the services we all want
from our state, ranging from highways to law
enforcement to prisons to education for our
children and the relatively grown-up university students, and social services so the poor
have the food and housing and health-care
that we want them to have, was shaken.
STATE COMMENTARY
MARTIN HAWVER, At The Rail
That Friday shockwave showed that the
state took in $574.8 million in taxes in April.
Last year in April, before all the economic
effects of the pandemic, Kansas took in $1.18
billion. Yes, billion. Thats $612 million less
this April than last. That shook the building.
It meant that the economists, who we suppose
spend most of their time reading the small
type in the Wall Street Journal and economic
newsletters, actually had the clear view of
just what Kansans staying at home, closing
nonessential businesses, seeing thousands of
layoffs, having their tax payments delayed,
would cause.
That put a whole new dollars-and-cents
face on the coronavirus, and its effect on the
economy and the state budget that is now law
that is likely to be about $1.2 billion short of
what it was based on when it was passed by
lawmakers and signed into law by Gov. Laura
Kelly in March. Again, before the fiscal effects
of the virus had been translated into dollars
and cents.
Now, its waiting to see just how the
Legislature responds to that shockwave, which
has both fiscal and political fallout for Kansas
where every member of the Legislature stands
for re-election this year.
The
GOP-controlled
Legislative
Coordinating Council will meet this week to
decide whether to reconvene lawmakers
with a myriad of social-distancing issues that
will probably make it as uncomfortable as a
bad prom date to deal with the real dollars
and cents of the budget.
And you gotta wonder how many Kansas
voters are going to see the real numbers and
decide if the people who dont want to fix it
now will be going back to the Legislature next
session.
Will legislative leaders decide in the wake
of those hard-dollar April revenue losses that
they cant delay until next January the fiscal
problems that will lead to an unconstitutional
budget deficit? Or will they decide it is still
too dangerous to convene a mass of legislators
from across the state? Or will voters want this
budget fire controlled now, before a possible
second-round of economic damage to the state
if the pandemic spikes this fall?

Enduring the shame: Social distancing isnt a religion
Forgive Jacksonville, Florida, for it has
sinned.
`The largest city in Florida partly reopened
its beaches, and it became something of a
national scandal. CNN ran a disapproving
segment, and the hashtag #FloridaMorons
trended on Twitter.
As the CNN report put it: The scene at
Jacksonville Beach wasnt one of caution in
the middle of a worldwide pandemic. Crowds
cheered and flooded the beach when police
took the barriers down. People were seen
swimming, biking, surfing, running and fishing.
None of these activities has been shown to
be a vector for the spread of COVID-19; in fact,
no outdoors activities have been shown to be
dangerous at all. A recent study examined
hundreds of outbreaks and traced only one to
an outdoor environment.
Surfers and bikers are the least of our
worries. Yet, there is a segment of American
opinion that takes it as its responsibility to
scold and shame anyone who dares go out and
get a little fresh air.
Early on in the crisis, CNN anchors spent
20 minutes inveighing against people walking,
running, biking and rollerblading along San
Franciscos Embarcadero. Noting that some
people were holding hands, Jake Tapper called
it enraging. Of course, random strangers
dont hold hands, but people who are likely in
close proximity whether they are enjoying a

stroll or not.
Despite there being no indication that outdoor spaces abet the spread of the disease,
parks have been shut down throughout the
United States, and the closures are at times
enforced with rigor. No less than Tom Brady
was chased from a closed Tampa Bay park
after he was discovered working out, apparently alone. A father in Colorado was briefly
detained by police for the alleged offense of
playing T-ball with his 6-year-old daughter on
a softball field.
A sure sign of fanaticism is the inability to
make distinctions, in this instance between
risky and non-risky activities and between
places hard hit and places not. Its one thing
to hold a day-long, 100-person family reunion
in a public park, quite another to jog through
one. Its one thing to begin opening up in New
York City, where there have been more than
10,000 deaths, and another to begin opening in
Montana, where there have been 14.
Jacksonville, Florida is the seat of Duval
County. With a population of nearly a million people, the county has had 17 COVID-19
deaths. It is hardly a hot spot.
At least some of the spleen would be
taken out of the coronavirus debate if people
acknowledged that we live in a vast continental country, with radically different ways of
life. Not only are not all states the same, not all
counties within states are the same.
But such is the lockdown zealotry that any
thought that these kinds of places should be
treated differently is considered heresy sure
to get people killed. It seems indisputable that
the lockdowns have slowed the spread of the
disease, but at an enormous economic cost. We
are going to have to show some flexibility and
be willing to adopt a patchwork approach to
opening up around the country.
We cant be beholden to public officials
and commentators who, to paraphrase H.L.
Mencken, have the haunting fear that someone, somewhere may be rollerblading.
Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.
America and everyone has a right and the freedoms to voice their opinion, even your uneducated opinion. Americans have a right to protest
and disagree with elected officials. You must be
a leftist liberal Democrat if you think Kelly has
done a good job for the State of Kansas. By the
way if you are so concerned about people dying,
how about all the babies that die in the womb
and people that die of the flu? You liberals love
to use caring about people not dying when it
suits your purposes. If you havent noticed as
humans death is a part of life. I do not want to
give up my freedoms and liberties. If thats what
you want you can go to any number of other
counties that will take your freedoms from you.
I am so proud of all the workers here in Garnett.
At the (store name) store especially, they always
have a smile on their face and they have done so
much work and theyre so helpful even before
the pandemic. I appreciate (store name) and I
appreciate the food places. Everybody has been
trying to work together and I want to do a shout
out to all the workers who have put themselves
in the face of this pandemic. I also appreciate
Meals on Wheels and the people who deliver our
meals for them. Thank you so much Garnett.
If mowing grass and putting clippings out in the
street is illegal and against the law, why arent
people getting tickets for that? Feeding cats is
against the law and you can get tickets for that.
Those other people should be getting tickets.
First off I want to thank Nancy Pelosi for my
stimulus check. If not for her who knows what
Trump would have did with our money. Second,
I want to thank Governor Kelly for trying to
keep us safe. I know there are a lot of nuts out
there, saw one on the front page of the Garnett
paper last week. I thought maybe he was taliban, he kind of looks like one. Third, Mr. Hicks,
enough of Rich Lowry. We know which way he
leans. Hes just the same old same old, and hes
boring. Thank you.
Gods blessings to the lady who paid for my groceries last Friday. Im so grateful for you. You
are an angel for sure.

Sen. Moran announces $400 million to
Kansas hospitals impacted by COVID-19
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator
Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) today
announced $400 million to
Kansas Hospitals from the
Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) delivered through the Provider
Relief Fund established in the
Phase III Coronavirus Aid,
Relief, and Economic Security
(CARES) Act.
Hospitals across Kansas
are hurting financially due to
COVID-19, some because of the
number of cases they are treating and others because they are
having to cancel non-emergency procedures and surgeries to
prevent the spread of COVID19, said Sen. Moran. Our hospital and health care providers are on the frontline of this
pandemic, and these grants
will help provide them with
resources to continue fighting
COVID-19 and keep their doors
open to help patients when this
crisis has passed.
The first grant is for $18
million that will be distributed to a high-impact hospital in
Kansas that has treated a large
number of COVID-19 cases. The
additional $382 million will be
distributed among 201 rural
health care providers that are
impacted by COVID-19.

The Kansas Department of

remain safe and open to the
public.
In counties with local Stay
At Home mandates, KDWPT
will work with local officials
regarding any other restrictions. State parks, state fishing
lakes and wildlife areas remain
open.
License Fees
KDWPT is not currently
considering waiving fishing
license fees. KDWPT is funded
solely from the sale of licenses
and permits, and that funding
is crucial to keeping gates and
facilities open and law enforcement in place.
During this time of unprec-
edented changes, there is value
in those things that can stay
consistent, said Secretary
Brad Loveless. Were committed to keeping Kansas state
parks, state fishing lakes and
wildlife areas open so that
Kansans can continue to safely
enjoy the outdoors. To achieve
this, we must keep game wardens, public land managers,
and park staff working in the
field.

Mothers Day – Sunday, May 10th
The history of Mothers Day and its beginning in the United States
History of Mothers Day
Celebrations of mothers and
motherhood can be traced back to
the ancient Greeks and Romans,
who held festivals in honor of
the mother goddesses Rhea and
Cybele, but the clearest modern precedent for Mothers Day
is the early Christian festival
known as Mothering Sunday.
Once a major tradition in the
United Kingdom and parts of
Europe, this celebration fell on
the fourth Sunday in Lent and
was originally seen as a time
when the faithful would return
to their mother churchthe
main church in the vicinity of
their homefor a special service.
Over time the Mothering
Sunday tradition shifted into
a more secular holiday, and
children would present their
mothers with flowers and other
tokens of appreciation. This custom eventually faded in popularity before merging with the
American Mothers Day in the
1930s and 1940s.
Did you know? More phone
calls are made on Mothers Day
than any other day of the year.
These holiday chats with Mom
often cause phone traffic to spike
by as much as 37 percent.
Ann Reeves Jarvis and
Julia Ward Howe
The origins of Mothers Day
as celebrated in the United
States date back to the 19th century. In the years before the Civil
War, Ann Reeves Jarvis of West
Virginia helped start Mothers
Day Work Clubs to teach local
women how to properly care for
their children.
These clubs later became a

unifying force in a region of
the country still divided over
the Civil War. In 1868 Jarvis
organized Mothers Friendship
Day, at which mothers gathered with former Union and
Confederate soldiers to promote
reconciliation.
Another precursor to Mothers
Day came from the abolitionist and suffragette Julia Ward
Howe. In 1870 Howe wrote the
Mothers Day Proclamation,
a call to action that asked mothers to unite in promoting world
peace. In 1873 Howe campaigned
for a Mothers Peace Day to be
celebrated every June 2.
Other early Mothers Day
pioneers include Juliet Calhoun
Blakely, a temperance activist
who inspired a local Mothers
Day in Albion, Michigan, in the
1870s. The duo of Mary Towles
Sasseen and Frank Hering,
meanwhile, both worked to organize a Mothers Day in the late
19th and early 20th centuries.
Some have even called Hering
the father of Mothers Day.
Anna Jarvis
The official Mothers Day holiday arose in the 1900s as a result
of the efforts of Anna Jarvis,
daughter of Ann Reeves Jarvis.
Following her mothers 1905
death, Anna Jarvis conceived of
Mothers Day as a way of honoring the sacrifices mothers made
for their children.
After gaining financial
backing from a Philadelphia
department store owner named
John Wanamaker, in May 1908
she organized the first official
Mothers Day celebration at a
Methodist church in Grafton,
West Virginia. That same day
also saw thousands of people
attend a Mothers Day event at
one of Wanamakers retail stores
in Philadelphia.
Following the success of her
first Mothers Day, Jarviswho
remained unmarried and childless her whole liferesolved
to see her holiday added to the
national calendar. Arguing that
American holidays were biased
toward male achievements, she
started a massive letter writing
campaign to newspapers and
prominent politicians urging the
adoption of a special day honoring motherhood.
By 1912 many states, towns
and churches had adopted
Mothers Day as an annual holiday, and Jarvis had established
the Mothers Day International
Association to help promote her
cause. Her persistence paid off in
1914 when President Woodrow
Wilson signed a measure officially establishing the second
Sunday in May as Mothers Day.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 5-5-2020 / SUBMITTED
A 2018 graduate of Anderson County High School, Lexee Feuerborn,
made the 2020-2021 Rock Chalk Dance team at Kansas University.
Lexee was a nine-time letterwinner in cheerleading, dance, volleyball, basketball, track and field and softball at ACHS. She is the
daughter of Reuben and Moria Feuerborn.
Department for Children
and Families Secretary Laura
Howard announced that DCF
service centers will remain
closed to the public until further notice. The offices have
been closed since March 23.
My first priority is the
health and safety of both our clients and employees, Howard
said. I am committed to implementing a reopening plan that
ensures social distancing and
other safety requirements set
forward by Governor Kelly.
Well reopen when we can
ensure these requirements can
be met.
To help ensure clients have
access to services, the agency
has implemented a series of
new public facing communication channels.
On April 29, the agency
opened a virtual call center to
answer client questions about
agency assistance programs
including cash, food and child
care assistance. Kansans can
call 1-888-369-477 from anywhere in the state to speak
with a DCF representative or
connect with their local service
center.
DCF also added a chat
function to its public website.
Visitors can use the chat to get
basic information about programs and application processes. DCF encourages Kansans
to visit www.dcf.ks.gov for
information about programs
and to apply for services. Paper
applications also are available
outside each DCF service center across the state. Completed
applications can be left in drop
boxes outside each service center.
Additionally, visitors to the
DCF website can review guidance from the agency related
to the COVID-19 pandemic.

DCF to reopen Low Income Energy Assistance Program
Department for Children
and Families Secretary Laura
Howard announced the agency is adding a second opportunity for Kansans to apply
for the Low-Income Energy
Assistance Program (LIEAP).
The new application period
begins May 1 and runs through
May 29.
Given the current circumstances we want to be responsive to the needs of low-income
households, Howard said. I
urge anyone who may have
missed the original application
deadline or who may be having
financial difficulty because of
the COVID-19 pandemic to take
advantage of this opportunity.
LIEAP provides an annual benefit to help qualifying
households pay winter heat-
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, May 5, 2020
ing bills. Persons with disabilities, older adults and families
with children are the primary
groups assisted. In 2019, about
33,000 households received an
average benefit of $576.
To qualify, applicants must be
responsible for direct payment
of their heating bills. Income
eligibility requirements are set
at 130 percent of the federal
poverty level. The level of benefit varies according to household income, number of people living in the home, type of
residence, type of heating fuel
and utility rates. Eligibility is
based on an applicants heating bill. If an applicant needs
assistance covering electric
costs, they need to request the
benefit be split between the two
utilities.
Applicants need to have
made payments on their heating bill two out of the last three
months. Those payments must
be equal to or exceed $80 or the
total balance due on their energy bills, whichever is less.
If an applicant has already
received a LIEAP benefit
during the 2020 LIEAP season
they are not eligible to receive
another payment.
The application will be
available beginning May 1.

emergency and the fact that many
Review readers are sequestering to varying degrees in their
homes and looking for reading
materials among ways to pass the
time, we are publishing segments
of Review publisher Dane Hicks
2003 novel The Skinning Tree
(Began March 24) over the course
of the next several weeks.
Chapter 3 Cont
*picking up from where left on from
April 28th edition
But sixteen hours in a firefight with artillery and tanks
against two Iraqi Republican
Guard Divisions does more for
a rookie war correspondents
understanding of fear than for
his career hopes. He remembered watching the dusty brown
landscape from a Humvee as he
hitched a ride with some lieutenant through the tail of the
battle as it advanced. Those were
real bodies, some charred and
all looking small as they lay
on the desert floor, the smell of
death mixed with fumes from
burning rubber and fuel. This
was the reality of war that you
couldnt send home, McKane
remembered, and no amount of
video tape or gigs on news talk
shows could ever bring this point
across to people.
Susan was one of them.
Shed come on board at WNN
four years after him, a Harvard
beauty with a bang-up collegiate
resume and an authoritative
look and delivery that begged to
sit at an anchor desk. He fell for
her, and the thrill of her pursuit
blinded him to the fact that she
didnt view the world as he did.
He resented how to her Iraq
was just another assignment.
Just another story. He criticized
her for being elitist nobody
in her branch of the Templeton
family, with the Connecticut
summer house and the condos in
Dallas, Ft. Lauderdale, Vail and
LA, and the yacht in which they
cruised up and down the eastern
seaboard had served in the military since colonial times. She
was an educated colleague, and
McKane expected her to understand the dire reality of the war,
regardless which of numerous
opinions on it one tended to support. But she just read the copy,
and looked earnestly, beautifully, into the camera, and then
went home to call her friends and
talk about what color she wanted
to do the bathroom.
The following years in the
90s were good ones a great
economy, great assignments
and both he and Susan had
risen into the upper salary ranks
at WNN. Their marriage back
east had even gotten a blurb on
Entertainment Tonight, even
though their celebrity status was
really more limited to those faces
the public recognizes from somewhere but can never quite place.
They settled into their married but childless lives. A beautiful restored loft in downtown
Atlanta; Bill Clinton assuring a
breaking story just about every
night. Wars in the decaying former Soviet republics drew little
audience, arguably because the
networks sent their junior staffers to cover them until prevailed
upon by some sense of national
conscience to treat post-Soviet
Euro politics more importantly.
September 11 changed everything, or so theyd said that first
year, but before long Susan was
business as usual. It amazed and
disgusted her husband.
McKane blamed the bean
counters and the souring economy for WNN missing the lead
in Afghanistan. By the time the
sabers began to rattle toward
Iraq hed positioned all his corporate political capital to land an
assignment embedded with the
3rd Battalion, Second Marines.
It was the hardest job of his life,
but he didnt know it would be
the high point of his career.
WNN continued to look for
ways to pinch pennies when
he got back, and less than six
months after he returned to the
states the buyout offer came.
Theyd take the money and run,
he and Susan decided; turn fortune to the wind and see where
they landed. Theyd put off kids
now until Susan was nearly too
old, and the next chapter in their
lives would be their own, not the
suits at the network.
The point was clear that
they had no intention of raising
their kids in the city, and Susan
had become enamored with
McKanes tales of growing up in
Brookville, Indiana, with its population of a hefty 2,700. Theyd
visited friends in Kansas City
over Memorial Day weekend
soon after they left WNN, took
a tour of the nearby small towns
in Missouri and Kansas, and a
newspaper association classified
ad for a managing editor job at
the Sentinel brought them the
discovery of Henrysville. They
stuck their buy-out booty from
WNN away in a mutual fund,
found an old two-story frame
farm house on a seven-acre piece
of land west of town for a steal
compared to the price of a house
in any metro, and vowed to fix it
up. Even though he toted a journalism degree from an eastern
university and a resume filled
with WNN experience which
could have served as a liability
more so than an asset, McKane
acclimated quickly to the conservative Kansas farming community. Susan lasted almost a year.
McKane had thought about it
almost constantly: what it was
that ended with Susan heading
to Chicago to take a position in a
sorority sisters public relations
firm. The isolation, the fact that
to be a non-working woman in
a farm community left little to
do if one didnt garden or quilt
or have kids to run to and from
ball games or have any real local
interests at all. The idea of staying at home to make babies and
raise them seemed to become her
totality, and the more she examined the limits of this life shed
chosen to undertake with him,
the more she resented it.
At first she said she could use
the isolation to write, like shed
always wanted to, but her distraction with what she increasingly saw as her predicament
kept her from it. She began to
spend hours on the phone with
friends from somewhere else
back home in Connecticut,
Brenda in LA, Elise up in
Chicago. She was angry about
something, it seemed, most of the
time, and the bitterness affected
everything from their sex life to
their dinner table conversations.
She went off the pill but they had
no luck getting pregnant, and
the opportunities to attempt it
seemed to be mutually attractive
less and less often.
And while the storm brewed
at home, McKane tended the
ship at the Sentinel, a 4,200 circulation weekly paper with a
historic reputation that dated
to just before the Civil War in
1856. Emerson Knaule was legendary; the founding free-state
editor who was once shot in the
forearm at the newspaper office
by a Missouri pro-slaver before
Knaule caught him at the local
butcher shop and beat the man
to death with a mallet. His legacy
was four generations of family
publishing and yielded not only a
nationally-known media empire
but an unsuccessful Republican
presidential candidate in the
1930s, a four-term United States
senator, and a Kansas governor
elected in the 1950s to boot. The
Knaule family grew to be synonymous with power and position in Kansas for a century, and
its now beleaguered flagship,
the Sentinel, served as a type
of museum to that heritage, its
front office walls covered with
framed, hand-written personal
notes from the likes of Presidents
Theodore Roosevelt and Dwight
Eisenhower, William Allen
White of the Emporia Gazette,
even Sir Winston Churchill.
Henrysville was hard hit by the
declining rural economy and the
Sentinel struggled to make its
own ends meet, mostly now with
the aid of the corporations subsidies, but it was the celebrated
soul of Knaule Media.
The paper and the town
thrived in the heyday of print
back in those early years.
There was talk before statehood
of Henrysville being the state
capital, but Topeka was judged
to be more central and further
removed from the Missouri borders friction over slavery. The
Knaules grew their wealth and
their holdings first statewide and
then across the nation, buying
up daily papers, farm and special-interest magazines and even
radio and eventually television
stations in smaller markets. A
Knaule paper in Nebraska was
the first in the chain to win a
Pulitzer, to be followed by another in Oklahoma and yet another
in Illinois. While the name and
the fortune grew, Sharon County
and the Sentinel withered after
World War II, and the ensuing
decades of farm crisis hammered
the local economy even more.
The paper, long since having
become nothing more than a
novelty in the Overland Park
boardroom of Knaule Media,
was, among the newest generation of corporate executives, held
up for public relations value as
a core of the companys hometown values, and at the same
time hidden away so as not to
stain the company with too much
Beverly Hillbillies, as one vice
president put it.
It didnt take McKane long to
realize that hed been hired to
baby-sit the family pet. His interview consisted of an hour lunch
with two junior assistants
and Benjamin Benny
Knaule, Jr., Knaule Media
CEO, whose only role at
the meeting seemed to be
checking his watch, smiling now and then, and
leaving the table to make
calls on his cell phone.
Bennys brother and the
other half of the Knaule
empire was Jamison,
who hadnt attended and
whom McKane to this day
had never actually met.
McKane detected a smug
undertone that day from
these Kansas newspaper
hot shots about hiring
anybody from television
to edit the fabled Sentinel,
and McKane had choked
back a giggle a time or
two at how self-absorbed
the Knaule boys apparently were with their monumental
achievements. The WNN parent
company execs left more in tips
than Knaule Media grossed in a
year, and yet the Knaules, supported by some solid journalism
by the people who worked for
them across the country, were
still legends in their own minds.
The job offer came with
the dessert and coffee, much
to McKanes surprise, and he
accepted before Benny Knaule,
with a flourish, picked up the
tab.
The salary was good for a
small town newspaper, but still
nothing like McKane made
at WNN. He figured he could
at least earn their house payment and living expenses and
let interest from their invested
buyout money cover any luxuries in which they periodically
wanted to indulge themselves.
Small town atmosphere, raise
your kids, live close enough to a
decent metro area for a few amenities it seemed like the perfect
mix, hed thought. He didnt plan
to let the paper get such a hold
over him, and though its history meant a lot more to someone from Kansas than to a guy
from Indiana with a degree from
Columbia, he quickly became
less concerned with protecting
the Knaule family heritage and
addicted to covering city council and school board meetings
and car wrecks. It was front line
stuff, and even in a small town
like Henrysville something,
somewhere, was churning all the
time, even though nobody outside Sharon County would probably ever give a damn. It hooked
him, like a tiny but virgin dose
of drug mainlined in a vein,
straight to the part of his brain
that sensed its highest pleasure
and reward.
There was an immediacy with
the paper, and a connection it
had to its tiny readership that
couldnt be found doing a story
from Istanbul or Tokyo. You had
to look these people in the face
after you did a story about them.
It was brutal and honest, and it
forced a reporter to connect to
his audience and with his sense
of right and wrong and defend
it, whether he was looking eye
to eye with some drunk in a bar
or with some adorable little bluehaired woman at the grocery
store. This was face to face and
the sense of it engulfed him. He
tried a few times to explain it to
her, to make Susan understand
the connection they had here
with the people for whom they
wrote as opposed to the insulated remoteness of their old jobs.
He credited her with making an
initial effort, early on, but in the
end she just couldnt buy in.
Every week he got to hold his
work in his hands, ink smudges
and all, for better or worse. He got
to see women with kids buying it
off the rack at the restaurants
and convenience stores where
stacks of papers sat, copy upon
copy upon copy close to the cash
register, yearning at the passing
public with promises to relay
their neighbors court and traffic reports, pictures of their kid
scoring a touchdown at Fridays
football game, and the run-down
on the county buying a chunk of
land next to the industrial park.
He got to watch the handful of
oldsters waiting on benches out
in front of Docs Snooker Center
across the street from the newspaper office, or parked in front of
the Sentinel on Thursday afternoon, their car engines running,
their eyes peeled, ready as soon
as someone waved the green
flag by turning a big white sign
around in the Sentinels front
window that said simply YES.
Theyd bitch and piss and moan
about the paper, that there aint
nothin in it since that new guy
came, but theyd nearly get run
over crossing the street to get
the first office copies, fresh and
crisp from the press, opening
with a wafting aroma of clean
newsprint and fresh ink, ready to
be consumed like the nectar from
a tiny flower of knowledge. The
gratification for McKane came
with the attention, good or bad,
like being on stage in a small,
intimately crowded theater. On
WNN his broadcasts were seen
by millions even billions of people, but by the end of the story
his face and name evaporated
from the short-term collective
mind, nothing but another fiber
in the electronic mish-mash that
resulted from the informational
pummeling of the world. But in
Henrysville the newspaperman
was someone who was known,
if not necessarily universally
liked, and to be known for the
craft, even among so comparatively few, was absorbing and
intoxicating. Sometimes McKane
even felt surrounded by it, the
times when the worst of small
town America raised its head,
and in those times he yearned
for a little obscurity like a drunk
yearns for a little sobriety. The
more he became entwined with
it, the more Susan unraveled.
She had been even more quiet
than usual a few days prior.
Then it came. Elise had a place
for her with the PR agency, and
she was going to Chicago. She
had to leave, before she started
to hate the man she loved as
much as she hated everything
else here. They would solve this,
she promised, but they couldnt
solve it right now.
McKane would have given up
the Sentinel grudgingly, but the
toughest part was understanding that Susan wasnt just giving up on country life, she was
giving up on the kids, the plan
of raising them in a wholesome
place; giving up on a family and
a life like theyd planned and
spent the untold hours talking
about as they lay naked in bed
in that converted loft apartment
in downtown Atlanta those years
ago. McKanes bitterness led him
to believe the woman he loved
lacked the depth to grasp the
roots and the reality and the really important things, in life, in
war, or in love.
She was gone now nearly four
months, the longest theyd been
apart since the last time he was
in Iraq. Theyd exchanged a cou-
ple of long e-mails about what
theyd wanted and what theyd
expected of each other. They
were better conversations than
theyd had the last six months
theyd lived together, but so far
there had been no hint of resolution. It was a friendly standoff of sorts, with a visit planned
always sometime soon, but not
yet arriving. Four months was a
long time, McKane told himself
in just about every quiet moment
that approached him. He felt like
a child flying a kite, letting out
more and more and more string.
Alice set the scotch and water
on the table with a tiny clunk as
the full glass met the old oak bar.
McKane ditched the little brown
straw and grasped the glass with
his thumb and middle finger,
taking a less than dainty sip.
They mixed a good drink here.
On the television, Carey Ann
Davis had closed her piece to go
to commercial, and WNN was
airing some ten second promo
for an upcoming news story.
Never failed. There was always
another story.
Stephs tennis shoes padded quickly along the uneven
sidewalk of Birch Street in the
dead black of the early Sunday
morning. It was a cool morning,
and the breeze from her bodys
own velocity rolled across her
sweat-moistened skin as she
stepped over raised portions of
the sidewalk where tree roots
were winning a years-old battle
against the old cement.
Her heart rate was still
advanced, her blood pressure
still running high, and the
euphoric buzz that hit her with
the methamphetamine some six
hours ago had subsided slightly
into a constant exhaustive anxiety. Her eyes were wide and
oddly alert, and she scanned the
street up and down, as the lights
from the tired convenience store
up on the highway slowly faded
behind her.
She was pissed at herself and
she was pissed at Sasha, and the
more she thought about it the
faster her steps became. Spin
The Bottle had progressed into
a crank smoking circle, with Jeff
more than happy to share his
contraband and shepherd the
new disciples back to a dingy
trailer in the old section of town.
According to plan Jeff had finished early, the product of a good
degree of Stephs hand work and
her own secret strategy to avoid
actually having to do it with him.
Sasha and that guy Marc had
reappeared from a room in the
dingy trailer, and Jeff wanted
cigarettes and more beer. They
loaded up again, Jeffs faded fourdoor Ford LTD dropping them at
the Two-Four Spot, Henrysvilles
only all-night convenience store
and bus station.
Numbed by the alcohol but
still zooming from the crank,
the quartet had lumbered zombie-like out of the car, Sasha
clinging to Marcs arm like a
wrung-out prom queen, clothes
rumpled and makeup smeared
from her face, oblivious to the
look of non-interest and occasional disgust Marc carried.
Inside, Steph pulled her into the
smelly bathroom and tried to
convince her that it was time to
leave that they needed to come
up with some kind of excuse to
ditch these guys and get back to
her car. But Sasha would have
none of it; she was at the center
of something wicked and sexual and fun, and her demeanor

FROM PAGE 2B
and her own meth buzz made
her impervious to the merits of
Stephs argument.
Sitting a few minutes later
at a booth in the tiny dining
area of the store, Steph watched
Marc and Jeff as they cut their
glances to each other, smirked
and laughed weakly, secretly,
obviously in contempt of the two
chicks whod just gotten them
off. They had bought a 12-pack
of beer and stealthily held their
cans under the table so they
could sip them out of the sight
of the night clerk, a fat, bleach
blond tattooed woman who sat
behind the counter watching a
tiny color TV. She wasnt paying attention, and who the hell
would care at a quarter after
three in the morning.
Anger welled up in her as
Steph watched these two morons.
The hard florescent lights of the
store showed the pock marks in
Jeffs face and his big, watery red
eyes. His stringy hair, unbound
from its pony tail from earlier in
the night, hung down across the
side of his face, and he pushed
the strands back now and then
with a cigarette burning between
his fingers. Marc was a frumpy
kid, with a tight coiffeur, a lot
more clean cut than Jeff, his
fat face and his smart mouth
lending to his overall smug
demeanor. Steph figured him for
some college kid whose dad was
paying his bills and who was
hanging with a bad boy for the
drugs and the thrill. Sasha had
been a passing, stoned piece for
him, and now she was annoying
him by her crank-buzzed talking
and cow-eyed looks at him. She
giggled at his every joke, hung
on his every word. The meth
and the sex had convinced her
that she was in love and Marc
was prince charming. Steph was
embarrassed for her, and more
and more it gave way to anger.
Steph went silent, holed-up
in her own fortress of disgust
with herself, her friend and
what theyd done with these two
losers. Jeff barely noticed her
silence, but soon started to show
some confused concern for why
she wasnt talking. Steph just
stared straight ahead, and soon
stood up and walked out, not
knowing if the two louts even
noticed and not caring if they
didnt. But Sasha never said a
word. She didnt come running
out of the store after her. Not a
word. That was our pact, shed
said earlier to leave together.
Stephs house was clear
across town, and even though
shed drunk all that beer, the
buzz from the meth kept her feeling hazy but energized even after
shed walked almost a mile. The
chipped paint of the white frame
house became visible over the
top of a big bulldozer parked in
the construction companys lot
next door. The house was dark.
Inside, Steph put the cap back
on an open bottle of vodka on the
kitchen table, and turned down
the hallway to check her mothers room. The bed was made
and the room empty. Out in the
living room only the television
was on, casting blue flickering
light across the room from the
images from some all-night channels infomercial. She walked
passed her mothers bedroom
and upstairs to her own, kicked
off her shoes and lay on the bed
for a minute. She wondered how
many other sixteen year-old girls
got home at 4 a.m. and beat their
3B
LOCAL
mothers home from their own
dates. Sashas folks would be
livid. Theyd probably call the
cops out to look for her. Steph
hoped they did, and she hoped
they stormed into the Two-Four
Spot, cuffed Marc and snatched
Jeff up by his scraggily hair and
his sperm-soaked blue jeans, discovered the meth and put both
of them in jail, and sent Sasha
home to face her mom and dad.
The fantasy came together in her
minds eye as she saw Marc, with
his fat, soft hands cuffed behind
his back, bent over the convenience store table as the cops
searched him. It would be too
cool.
The vivid pictures swept back
and forth in front of her closed
eyes like previews on a movie
screen, in full color with sound
and dialogue and even theme
music. There was no option for
sleep. A stitch of tension rose up
her back as she thought about
Jeff, how he sort of smelled a
little and how he had selfishly
soaked up her sexual attention,
and how she had so stupidly
bestowed it upon him out of boredom and for something to do.
But even as her mind still
raced over the nights events,
the still forceful pump from the
meth left her half yearning for
yet another adventure before the
sun came up. She wondered what
Danny James was doing right
now, how hed been so friendly
last week after the track meet
when a mid-week party erupted
out by a low-water bridge somewhere in Nack Township. Shed
hoped to see him tonight, but
instead she got Jeff. So buzzed,
so high, and she got gypped in
the end. She fought back the urge
to call Dannys house right now.
This night was just like every
other one.
Laying in the bed agitated
her, so she jumped up and went
downstairs into the living room,
collapsing into a recliner in
front of the television on which
a guy wearing a headset microphone and a tie and no suit coat
gestured wide with his arms to
an audience of average looking
folks. She rummaged through a
stack of magazines in a wooden
end table, looking for anything
that seemed remotely interesting. She settled on a People, and
read almost frantically back and
forth about celebrities and fashion while watching the easiest
way to become a millionaire by
selling real estate.
Chapter 4
The following Sunday morning fell on Henrysville moist and
quiet, with the sun rising on a
heavy dew, sparkling with reflections like glitter spilled on the
ground. Cars crawled along at a
snails pace down the main drag
of the business district, like they
too were lounging on this last
day before the work week began
again. People were sleeping in.
People were going to church.
Neither made for much bravado.
The voices were low and the
waitresses sleepy at eight minutes after seven in the morning
Sunday at Margies Dinner Bell.
The regulars were there, a handful of men and a few women
seated at the back of the dining
room near the restrooms where
three tables were pushed together, their group all crowned by
swatches of gray hair or bald
patches or a recent dye job
from a Saturday morning hair
appointment in town, topping off
their various choices in church
clothes. Young folks rarely got
up this early on a Sunday, and
preferred to park in front of the
television when they arose rather than get out into the town to
socialize, much less go to church.
In the kitchen, the help was clamoring around in the process of
filling the breakfast buffet in the
dining room. But where the customers were slowly gathering,
some as a stop before church and
some just to while away a few
hours of a Sunday which retirement had made seem as long as
most other days, the conversations were low and split here and
there by silverware clinking off
plates, cups and saucers.
Mary Parker, dressed in her
blue Sunday suit whose pantlegs rose high enough to reveal
the large varicose veins that spidered across the backs of her
legs and visible even through
her stockings, rested her elbow
on the table and held a cigarette
straight up in the air. It had little
time to rest, as she took pulls
off the filter at the end of almost
every sentence she interjected
into the three-table conversation. Shed been smoking like
that for almost fifty years. The
conversation had already turned
to yesterdays events.
Well does anybody know
where that girl was supposed to
be from?, Mary asked with a
look of concern on her wrinkled
face.
Jack Grogan swallowed his
coffee. I never heard where she
was from. Somebody said Lonnie
Stahm down at the funeral home
said she was a teenager, but that
he didnt know her and they
hadnt identified her yet.
Did they seem to think it was
an accident?, Bernie Becker
asked.
I heard somebody said one of
the deputies said she had piece
of ski rope wrapped around her
neck- that they strangled her
with a piece of ski rope, Mary
said. You know, them kids come
over to the lake in Linn County
all the time and they do their
partying and their fartn aroundIm not surprised one of them
wouldnt of got hurt.
And you know, Missy
Grogan, Jacks second wife,
chimed in, these kids are a step
away from trouble all the time
now. My God, we got in late last
week from Kansas City we
went up to the hospital to see
Grace Beller Id say it was a little after two in the morning, and
there was kids still hanging out
down at the Texaco parking lot.
Missy was a little woman, and
her mixture of gray and brown
hair shook as she nodded her
head during her tale. Now, you
tell me what a kids got to do
in Henrysville until two in the
morning that doesnt have to do
with getting into trouble.
Hell, we havent had a murder around here in a long time,
Floyd Casper said. At least it
wasnt nobody from around here,
sounds like.
Traffic was picking up in the
dining room as it edged toward
nine oclock. Otis Purvey slipped
in the front door and stopped
by the newspaper rack with his
hands in his pockets, rattling
a few coins against keys deep
down in his baggy khaki pants,
his head bent down and stuck
far up under his Sharon County
Sheriffs Department ball cap.
He looked at the headlines and
frowned at nothing particular,
then glanced up and around the
dining room, still jingling his
change, and still not convinced
The Kansas City Star was worth
$1.25 on Sunday.
Hey Otis- come over here a
second, Jack Grogan rose out
of his seat a little and motioned
to Purvey across the restaurant.
A few tables of individuals and
groups looked up from their
coffee and hash browns first at
Grogan, then at Purvey, because
Grogans summons was fairly loud. Purvey winced a little,
startled to hear anyone call his
name, and looked around him a
couple of times to be sure Grogan
was really talking to him. He
didnt often get invited to someones table.
Come on over here a second,
Grogan said again, this time a
little softer, still motioning to
Purvey. Purveys smallish body
moved toward the table with a
half-suspicious look on his face,
still jingling his change.
Say, Grogan said as Purvey
neared, what was all this out at
Pod Tuckers yesterday? Some
girl found dead in a well?
Yep, she was dead all right,
Otis replied shortly, glancing
around the table, like he was
about to tell a ghost story.
Well, what in the heck happened, Cal Beauchamps face
contorted with concern.
Medical examiner said she
was murdered. Strangled,
Purvey said, trying to hide that
he was enjoying the limelight.
Probably by one of them serial killers, because she had her
mouth stuffed full of roses, and
she was strangulated- he said
probably molested too. Some
kind of weird somethin, huh.
You mean theres some
kind of a madman loose around
Henrysville?, Mary Parker
asked, eyes wide, palm open but
still holding onto her cigarette.
Good heavens, Missy
Grogan exclaimed, glancing
back and forth from her husband
to Purvey.
Its pretty weird, aint it?
Purvey said, an odd grin coming
over his face as he watched the
story build within his audience.
Something like this hardly ever
happens around here.
Knute Fredock and his livein Emma never saw the sun
on Sunday morning until near
noon at their little old farmhouse
down in the southeast part of
the county, and the dogs had
been barking a good minute or so
before Emmas eyes spread apart
enough to tell the sun was up.
One of the barking dogs let out a
yelp and was silent, and Emma
forced herself up in bed and had
just nudged her snoring boyfriend when smashing glass and
wood from the front and back
doors signaled an explosive, dual
entrance into the house.
The sound of breaking glass
pulled Knute out of his slumber. He could hear the hustle of
heavy feet across the old floor, up
the short hallway and to each of
the other two tiny bedrooms, the
kitchen, small living room, and
utility room porch on the back
of the house where the methamphetamine rig was set up. Emma
caught her breath and moaned
shortly and fearfully, but before
she could get Knute out of bed,
four men were standing in their
small bedroom, and four silencer-tipped pistols pointed at them.
Holy…! Knute pushed himself up against the bare wall
behind the headboardless bed.
His hands were outstretched in
front of him, and his heart raced
under his bare chest. Emma,
who was nude except for a pair
of panties, clutched one of the
bed sheets up to her chin and was
now crying, her eyes clamped
tightly shut.
Oh God, dont man. Please.
God, please, Knute, his thinning brown hair in a tussle over
his balding head and part of his
ponytail mussed around the side
of his face and shoulder, was
pawing at the air in front of him
with his hands, but turning his
face away from looking directly
at the men or the gun barrels
pointed at the two of them.
Each of the men wore sunglasses and dark-colored utility
jackets, pants, gloves and boots.
One of them slipped his weapon into a shoulder holster and
stepped forward to sit on the
edge of the bed next to Knute.
Emma was still beside herself,
already having urinated in the
bed, and was unable to make
anything but sobbing noises.
Knute, my name is Ollie.
Im here to make a business
deal with you on behalf of some
friends. His voice was level and
casual and well appointed, and
he sounded more like a lawyer or
an accountant than a gunman.
Just dont kill us, man,
please Knute was still having
trouble looking the man in the
face.
Oh no, no-no, were only
going to kill you if you dont do
what we say you have to do,
Ollie said matter-of-factly, gesturing with his hands in what
was apparently a conciliatory
manner.
You guys arent cops?,
Knute managed to force his
glance onto Ollies face. The sunglasses obscured Ollies eyes,
which made it impossible to
engage him completely.
No, were not the police.
Were businessmen who want to
make a deal with you.
What kind of deal, Knute
looked at Ollie. It was only then
that he seemed to notice the ter-
rified woman next to him in the
bed, and placed his hand over
her drawn up knees in an effort
to console her. She was still
nearly catatonic with fear.
Ollie reached into his inside
jacket pocket and pulled out and
envelope. He flapped it open with
a gloved finger and retrieved a
stack of bills.
This is a very simple deal,
Ollie told Knute, still matter-of-factly. This is one hundred $100 bills $10,000. Im going
to give it to you, and youre going
to pack a few things and drive
away from here in the next ten
minutes or so and not come
back.
What?
Very simple: we give you
$10,000 and you leave. Or we
burn your house down with you
in it, Ollie nodded at the end of
the statement almost apologetically.
And we want the names of
anyone else you know whos
cooking.
No way!, Knute startled at
the statement. In a single step
one of the gunmen from behind
Ollie smashed his face with an
elbow, and now pinned his head
face down against the spot where
the bed met the wall. Emma
screamed and tried to go to the
aid of her man, but another gunman in a tight, blonde crewcut
backhanded her across the head
and shoulder, grabbed her by
her short, nappy red hair and
threw her to the floor beside the
bed. His foot rested on her throat,
the gun pointed again at her eye.
She lay there with tears washing
over her reddened face, gagging
under the pressure of the gunmans boot. The other gunman
held Knutes head down hard
against the bed, and reaching
toward his gun holster came out
with a small hunting knife. In
a split second and before Knute
could muster much of a scream,
the storm trooper had inserted
the blade into the top curve of
Knutes ear and given his wrist
a quick twist, slicing a half-inch
diagonal cut completely through
the ear. Blood seeped from the
wound, and Ollie, who had calmly stepped away from the fray
near the bed, now bent down and
placed the barrel of his weapon
in Knutes mouth.
Knute, this will be the last
offer I make you, Ollies voice
was quick and businesslike.
Liquid welled up in Knutes eye,
which faced upward under the
pressure of the gunmans hand at
the base of his neck and puddled
against his nose until it streamed
off. His mouth, nearly completely mashed against the bedding,
whimpered the word, okay.

Phase 1 of the order which
began yesterday includes:
GENERAL PROVISIONS
The previous statewide
Stay-at-Home and mass gatherings orders are lifted and
mass gatherings of more than
10 individuals are prohibited.
Mass gatherings are defined
as instances in which individuals are in one location and
are unable to maintain 6 feet
of distance between individuals (not including individuals who reside together) with
only infrequent or incidental
moments of closer proximity.
Industries or functions that
are already in operation pursuant to KEFF may continue
to function while, if possible,
avoiding gatherings of more
than 10 individuals where
social distancing measures are
difficult to maintain.
Any local government that
decides to impose equal or
more stringent restrictions
during this phase is permitted
to do so, except with regards to
essential functions in KEFF.
Any federal restrictions
imposed and still in effect must
be followed.
INDIVIDUALS:

with only infrequent or incidental moments of closer proximity.
Social Gatherings: Avoid

groups of 10 or more individuals in both indoor and outdoor
settings, especially in circumstances that do not allow for
a physical distance of 6 feet
or more between individuals
or groups with only infrequent
or incidental moments of closer proximity. (e.g., receptions,
trade shows).
High-Risk
Individuals*:
High-risk individuals are
advised to continue to stay
home except when conducting

to strict protocols regarding
hygiene and screening.
BUSINESS:
All businesses not prohibited may open if:

consumers (individuals or
groups). Restaurants or dining
establishments may meet this
requirement by using physical
barriers sufficient to prevent
virus spread between seated
customers or groups of seated
customers.
AND fundamental cleaning

followed. Businesses should
follow industry-specific guidelines as provided on covid.

Eugene Gonzales
by Reed Compton
Mrs. Riemers Class
5th Grade Central Heights
There was a homeless man
named Eugene. Eugene lives
under a bridge, in a city. One
day he was walking down the
street when he saw a gas station, so he walked towards
it and sat down. A very rich
looking man showed up, he
started to get gas. Then he
noticed Eugene so he walked
up to him and said, My name
is Drew and youve caught
my eye so I want to give you
my watch, Drew said. No,
I cant, its yours to take,
he said as he handed him
the watch but before Eugene
could give it back to Drew, he
was gone.
Since Eugene thought
he had no use for a watch
he took it to a pawn shop.
Hello, said the store clerk.
How can I help you?
How much can I get for
this watch, Eugene said in
s small, quiet and mumbling
voice.
About $25, said the store
clerk.
Ok then, said Eugene.
The store clerk hand-
ed Eugene his money. As
Eugene was on his way back,
he passes two people talking
about the Powerball lottery
has risen to $10,000,000
so Eugene hurried to the
gas station and bought
one ticket.
Two weeks later Eugene
waited in front of a glass container with 12 TVs as the
numbers were being read off.
The man on the TV read,
The first number 3, the
second number 7, the third
number 5, the fourth number
1 and the fifth and final number is 9.
There were several signs
of sadness but Eugene
could
barely
control his excitement.
He had won!
With a smile on his
face, he walked to the gas
station. He handed his ticket to the cashier and lived
the rest of his life in comfort.
