Community divided over boys suspension
Family insists teen was
targeted; letter from
school cites disrespect
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The furor over a
13-year-old Anderson County
Junior High School students
suspension last week shined a
national spotlight on the school,
and divided a community into
two sides. Team Skyler supporters say Skyler Davis, an
eighth grader at ACJH, was
unfairly targeted because of
his gender after refusing a
teachers request that he take
off his purse. On the other side
Origin of the no-bag rule
Tara Reid was an eighth grader during the 1999-2000 school
when teachers announced students could no longer carry
purses, backpacks or any type
of bag into the classroom.
Its been 13 years since the
rule was put in place, and many
students and administrators
have forgotten the real reasons
why it was established. Some
is Team Hilliard, and those
supporters say Davis is a disrespectful rule-breaker who
Stolen property found
at Garnett residence
Truckloads of stolen
property recovered;
no arrests made yet
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT What was
described as truckloads of
stolen property was recovered
from a Garnett residence last
week.
No one has yet been arrested
in the case and the investigation is continuing, Anderson
County Sheriff Vern Valentine
said Friday, Nov. 8.
The case is expected to wrap
up several reports of theft and
burglary in Anderson County
and the City of Garnett. At least
one of those burglaries was
from the Welda Flea Market
about six months ago, the business owners daughter reported
last week via Facebook. Katrina
Tucker Winters said her father
was called by officers after
some merchandise that he had
reported stolen had been discovered at a home in the 900
block of West Fourth Avenue
last week.
Valentine did not say what
brought officers to the home,
but said a search warrant was
obtained and executed by his
office and the Garnett Police
believe it was because of the
possibility that students could
carry weapons, or because the
bags create a distraction. Some
say students use their bags to
sneak cell phones or snacks
into the classroom.
But Reid clearly remembers
the reason behind the rule. In
SEE RULE ON PAGE 3A
brought unfair criticism on the
school.
The true story behind Davis
Davis
suspension, however, likely
falls somewhere in the middle.
A student who was in the same
class as Davis during the dispute says Davis knew the rules
and followed them in the past,
but she refutes rumors that
Davis threw a fit and cursed
at a teacher. And a letter sent
from school officials to Davis
mother shows he was suspended for demonstrating disrespect
and using inappropriate language.
The incident began around
noon Wednesday, Nov. 6, during third-period science class.
Teacher Mary Schneiders
reportedly asked Davis to
take his purse to his locker,
but instead Davis went to the
principals office. Assistant
Principal Don Hilliard also
asked Davis to remove his
purse, but Davis refused. Davis
was then suspended for 24
hours and asked to leave the
school, and expected to return
at noon Thursday. When Davis
mother, Leslie Willis, learned
about the incident, she became
upset and contacted a Kansas
City television station. The station ran the story that night,
and other news stations picked
up the story. Soon, the report
went viral, and by Thursday
it was listed as a top story on
Yahoo News and ran on Fox
News.
Were not trying to go
against authority, Willis said.

Leavenworth talks to a crowd of veterans, students and others during the Veterans Day program at to next years calendar. Board
members at their regular meetAnderson County High School Monday, Nov. 11.
ing Thursday, Nov. 7, got their
first look at a proposed calendar
for the 2014-2015 school year.
The calendar is a first draft,
and changes are expected, USD
365 Superintendent Don Blome
said, although he did not elaborate on what parts of the calendar could change.
The year is expected to play
out much like this years schedule, and much of the calendar
is dictated by when Christmas
and New Years fall in the week.
A mid-week holiday typically
means longer breaks, because
board members typically dont
like to ask students to come to
class for just one day in a week,
like a Monday or Friday.
This year, students will begin
winter break on Friday, Dec.
20, although teachers will be at
school for a work day. Classes
wont resume until Jan. 6, 2014,
for a total of 17 days in a row
without school. In the 2012-2013
school year, students had just
11 days for the winter break.
Christmas and New Years Day
will be on Wednesdays this
year.
Next year will be similar
to this year. Winter break will
begin for students after school
ends Friday, Dec. 19, although
teachers will be expected
to work on Monday, Dec. 22.
Classes resume Monday, Jan.
5, 2015. That makes next years
winter break 16 days long.
Students and staff must
attend school a specific number
of hours in order to qualify for
state funding. In order to meet
the required hours, next years
school term is expected to begin
Aug. 15, 2014, and end May 21,
2015. That is similar to this year;

REMEMBRANCES
SUSPENSION…
FROM PAGE 1A
Were just trying to do whats
right. Taking a childs education away for one day over a bag
is the most ridiculous thing Ive
ever heard.
Davis has received kudos
from people across the world
for standing up to school administrators. Meanwhile, some
students and school staff cried
foul, claiming theres more to
the story than the television
reports showed. They say Davis
willfully violated a longtime
classroom rule that prohibits
purses or any type of bag in the
room during class. Davis said
he didnt know about the rule,
and female students often carry
purses in class.
Other ACJSHS students contacted for this article reported
mixed viewpoints on the rule.
Some said the rule is wellknown and strictly enforced.
Others, like 2012 graduate Sara
Karl, said she always carried a
purse in all junior high classes.
Witness recounts incident
One of Davis classmates,
who asked the Review to withhold her name for fear of retaliation, said she was in the same
third-period science class when
Schneiders asked Davis to take
off his purse. The student, who
will be called Jane for this article, said the rule against purses
is well-known, although teachers enforce it differently. Some
teachers allow bags but require
them to be stacked against a
wall, out of reach. Typically,
teachers allow students to bring
bags to the last class of the day
so bus students dont have to
rush to their lockers at the end
of the day, she said.
But Schneiders is known as
a strict enforcer of the no-bag
rule, Jane said. Any student
seen with a purse or bag in the
classroom is asked to take it
back to his or her locker. Jane
said Davis brought the purse
into the classroom on multiple
occasions, and each time was
asked to take it back to his locker. He complied without complaining each time, she said.
Davis said he didnt know
about the rule. He initially said
he has been wearing his purse
to school and carried it in the
classroom since August. He
said until last week, he was
asked to remove it only one
other time, for English class
when students were working on
a project that required them to
move about the room. After he
was told what Jane said, Davis
said he recalled one other time
when Schneiders asked him to
remove the purse, and he complied. He said he felt the rule
was unfair, however, and maintained that girls were allowed to
carry their purses in the same
classroom.
After Schneiders asked
Davis to remove his purse on
Nov. 8, he left the classroom
and didnt return, Jane said.
She thought she heard him say
the f-word in the hallway, but
he did not curse at the teacher.
Jane said she thought Davis
went to his locker, but soon
Schneiders receive a phone call
from the office. Jane could hear
someone ask Schneiders if she
sent Davis to the office, and the
teacher said no. Jane didnt see
Davis again until Friday morning.
Schneiders could not be
reached for comment for this
article. No one could be found
who could verify what happened after Davis went to the
office. Because of privacy laws,
the school district is prohibited
from discussing disciplinary
action against a student.
The suspension and fallout
Davis said he met with
Hilliard, who asked him to
remove his purse. He refused
because he thought it was unfair
that he was expected to follow
an unwritten rule that wasnt
equally enforced on everyone.
I told him, No, Im not
going to take it off. He (Hilliard)
paused and said, You have to.
Its a rule, Davis said.
Davis said he did not curse at
anyone, despite rumors to the
contrary and despite a letter
from Hilliard that cites inappropriate language.
Davis mother, Leslie Willis,
said she spoke to Hilliard at
about 12:30 p.m., and he told her
Davis was suspended because
he refused to take off the purse.
She said Hilliard told her he
would need to discuss the matter with his colleagues because
he wasnt familiar with the nobag rule. She didnt hear from
any school administrator again
until Friday morning, when she
received a letter from Hilliard
that outlined Skylers offense
and the districts disciplinary
policy.
Students can be suspended
for a variety of reasons, subject
to the severity of an offense.
In most cases, administrators
assign points to offenses. If
a student accumulates a high
number of points, he or she
could face long-term suspension or expulsion. A minor
violation like skipping class
can earn a student one point
and/or detention. More serious
offenses like insubordination,
harassing other students or
fighting earn more points and
are subject to in-school or outof-school suspension from one
to five days. Very serious violations like drug use or assaulting staff members can result in
immediate long-term suspension or expulsion.
Hilliards letter, which Willis
provided to The Review, said
that Davis earned 2 points for
demonstration of disrespect,
including inappropriate language toward another (i.e. inappropriate language toward a
school administrator). Those
points were added to an existing disciplinary tally of 5
points, bringing his total to 7.
Willis said the 5 points came
earlier this year when Davis
and a female friend got into
a fight that spilled over into
school from Facebook. She
believes, however, that the 2
points Davis earned from the
purse incident and the suspension were unfairly given. She
said Hilliard and administrators are claiming Davis was disrespectful because they dont
want to look bad.
Immediately, I thought,
This is war, Willis said.
Theyre not going to bully a
13-year-old.
After talking to Hilliard,
Willis contacted KCTV5 and
told them about the suspension. Within hours, the incident
was broadcast on television and
soon spread to other networks.
By Thursday morning, social
media sites like Facebook and
Twitter were flooded with comments, about equally divided
between support and condemnation for Davis.
By the time Davis returned
to school Thursday afternoon
and Friday morning, he faced
classmates who either saw him
as a hero or a villain. Davis
said most of his friends were
supportive, but he also received
negative feedback and lost at
least one friend. Willis said she
and her family have received
hurtful and negative comments
from strangers, but overall the
comments have been very supportive. The family continues
to stand behind Davis, and she
said she is proud of her son
because she raised him to stand
up to authority if he feels his
morals are being compromised.
Jane, his classmate, said she
saw other students glaring at
Davis in the hallway Friday
and she felt uncomfortable
because of tension between the
two sides. She said Davis did
not wear his purse into science
class Friday, but he wore it at
other times that day.
Kyle Tate, a junior at ACHS
who is gay, said he considers
Davis a friend, but he disagrees
with the way Davis handled the
situation. Tate said during his
freshmen year he faced bullying
and discrimination from other
students because of his sexuality, but school administrators
always took such incidents seriously when he reported them.
They immediately stepped
in and took care of the situation, Tate said. Our school
and town of Garnett is in no
way a discriminatory place.
Despite the controversy,
Davis said he still believes he
was targeted because of his
gender and was discriminated against because he wears
clothes that typically are considered feminine. Although
television stations reported
Davis is openly gay, his mother
stopped short of describing him
as gay or straight.
At 13, do you really know?
she asked.
She said it was more important that her son was being
treated differently because
of his choices in clothing and
accessories. Davis and Willis
said they believe the district is
using the no-bag rule as an
excuse to cover up their discrimination.
If its a rule thats been
around for 10 years, why isnt
it in the handbook? Its not consistently enforced, Willis said.
Davis said he is proud that
he stood up for what he believed
to be right, but disappointed
that the matter has degenerated into a Team Skyler vs. Team
Hilliard controversy.
I dont think it should be
team anything, he said. Just
treat people like you want to be
treated.
to carry bags and backpacks
unless they were arriving or
leaving school.
Students were to put their
bags in their locker as soon
as the first bell rang. Small
pencil bags were allowed to be
carried all day so long as it
wasnt causing a distraction in
class, Reid said. Some teachers would allow small purses;
others would say to go put it
in your locker. If you tried to
argue about putting your purse
in your locker you were simply
told you dont need it right now
so it can be put away until you
do need it.
Reid said the rule applied to
everyone, even a male student
in her class who sometimes carried a purse.
Just like anyone else, he
would get told to put it away
and he did so without argument, she said.
Reid protested the rule
change, arguing that students
were given a limited time to
get to class and couldnt always
make it to and from lockers,
among other points. As a result
of her paper, she and her fellow
eighth graders were granted an
exception for the rest of the
school year. Seventh graders
and incoming students from
then on were required to fol-
low the rule. The rule does not
apply to high school students.
USD 365 superintendent Don
Blome said the rule is enforced
by teachers at the junior high
level, in core subjects like
English, science and math. The
rule is not included in the written handbook because it is a
classroom rule, not a district
policy, he said. Teachers are
allowed to establish classroom
rules such as no chewing gum
and bringing certain materials
to class, he said. Students are
expected to follow classroom
rules and can be subject to disciplinary action if they dont
obey those rules, Blome said.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, November 12, 2013
EDITORIAL
Fundraisers: Consider local business
A caller to the Phone Forum last week
brings up a point that gets broached now
and again that so much lip service is
paid to shopping local businesses first but
school, civic and church groups continue to
contract with out-of-area providers to sell
their fund raising items.
To add insult to injury, those school and
civic groups often times solicit the local
businesses that they skipped over in seeking suppliers and ask them to purchase the
goodies theyre ordering from some out-ofstate company. And even more ironic, most
of us in local businesses probably buy, just
because we dont want to say no to our
groups or kids.
So you can kind of see whats wrong
with that picture, right?
Its not new and its been that way for
a long, long time, but the new realities of
our spend-less economy particularly in
smaller communities like ours make every
single sale to every single business matter
even more.
Not only does the sale of non-local
fundraising items send thousands of local
dollars out of our local economy, it also
contributes to the disconnect between local
residents and the basic understanding of
what businesses, products and services
make up our local business community.
For instance you cant buy a new Lexus
in Anderson County, but you can buy a
pizza, donuts, welding rod, a pair of pliers,
a water pump for an 86 Dodge Caravan,
schedule an auction, higher a lawyer or
a cabinet maker, etc. Negative attitudes
among some of our customers and a lack of
rudimentary marketing skills among some
of our business people has given customers
a clear picture, at least in their heads, of
whats not available to purchase locally. A
full picture of what is for sale around here,
well, thats a different story.
Clearly, local businesses and local customers need to connect with each other
at every opportunity, and that includes
sourcing opportunities for fundraisers.
Commercial fundraising companies make
it hard though they pepper organizations
with tons of snappy color brochures with
luscious looking popcorns, gourmet cookies, cookie doughs, etc., with even more
luscious looking 50% profit offers for the
sponsoring organization. The sales materials, order forms, etc., are already prepared
and can be received overnight why, with
all the organizing already done these products nearly sell themselves and you can

turn around your profit in no time. Those
companies make it easy, and in these timepressed days that means a lot indeed.
But those groups have local options.
They can buy ingredients and make food
items and probably enjoy a far higher profit
margin. They can buy items from local merchants (with a fair discount) to resell. They
can ask for local donated items in exchange
for publicity in auctions or coupon books.
So why cant local businesses sell
themselves to local organizations for these
fundraisers the same way some company
in New Jersey does? The simple answer is:
Of course they can- they just have to think
up a pitch and do it; think of a product they
sell that works for local groups, find a way
to give those groups a comparable profit
margin with as little risk as possible, and
take that message to schools, churches,
civic groups, etc. Marketing ourselves is the
responsibility of every local business and
some of us have traditionally done a very
poor job of it.
And businesses and their supporters
can be more direct about presenting our
case for consideration. The next time a local
civic group comes to your door selling a
non-local fundraising item, make a donation of $5 to the cause but tell them youd
prefer to purchase fundraising items made
locally or through a local business so more
of the purchase benefits others in the community. Thats a very fair approach. And
when someone finally does come to you
with a local fundraising option, participate
heartfully.
Civic organizations expect the support
of their community to do the good things
they do but they have to earn it. So too do
local businesses have to earn the support
of customers whether they be civic groups
or individuals. If everyone offers up a little
consideration, the deal can work for everyone.

I was just listening to the news tonight,
Nov. 6, and I could not believe it showed
about a Anderson County kid that was
carrying they said a purse, its a man
bag. Its no shame for a man to be carrying something that he keeps stuff
in. I just cant believe they put that on
the news. I cannot believe that. Why
is people talking about this? They can
carry anything they want. The women
and girls do. Whatever.
The incident that happened at the
school is unfortunate. Should he carry
a purse, should he not? What matters
is the school is not consistent on anything, they might punish one but not
punish another. They might say 7th-8th
graders cant carry purses and book
bags but they have, so why are the high
school allowed to? Some people say
some mother with connections complained because his books were too
heavy on his back, but he has an option
to put it in a locker but he doesnt. Why
arent rules district wide instead of
by teacher. If he carries a purse, who
cares? Its not hurting anyone, is it?
More noise from the Obamacare whiners
Henry Waxman made a plea at the end of
a House hearing grilling Health and Human
Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. The
California Democrat asked Republicans to
reach across the aisle to work with Democrats
to improve Obamacare.
Yes, Henry Waxman, who has made a
career of ideological witch hunts and smashmouth partisanship, wants a cease-fire over
Obamacare, or so he says.
He was picking up a common liberal
theme: Its not fair that Republicans continue
to oppose the presidents eponymous healthcare law and pick at its failures, deceits and
irrationalities. If only they were more reasonable, Obamacare could be tightened up
with a few technocratic fixes and go on to its
glorious destiny.
Its a little late to get Republican buy-in,
though. That would have required serious
compromise back in 2009, when Democrats,
at the high tide of their power in the Obama
era, saw no reason to make any.
They insisted on this particular law, at this
particular time. They own it. They own every
canceled policy, every rate increase, every
unintended consequence and every unpopular intended consequence. It is theirs, lock,
stock and two smoking barrels.
But they cant stop whining. They complain that Republicans arent as cooperative
as Democrats were when the Medicare Part
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
D prescription-drug plan had a rocky start.
This is absurd. The Part D website experienced what could be accurately described
as glitches, rather than the meltdown of
HealthCare.gov. And Democrats supported
the basic idea of the prescription-drug benefit.
They complain that what they really wanted was single-payer, but had to settle for the
unsatisfying second-best of Obamacare. Paul
Krugman calls the health-care law a clumsy,
ugly structure that more or less deals with a
problem, but in an inefficient way. The reason they couldnt get single-payer, though, is
that there werent enough Democratic votes
for it.
The White House is loath to give up the
falsity about everyone keeping their current
insurance. White House aide Valerie Jarrett
tweeted that it is a FACT that nothing in
#Obamacare forces people out of their health
plans. Never mind that the entire architecture of the law is based on forcing people in
the individual insurance market out of their
existing plans and onto the exchanges.
In a health-care speech in Boston, President
Barack Obama didnt say anything about
how his prior declarations had been misleading. Instead, he tweaked his dishonesty for a
different positive spin: For the fewer than 5
percent of Americans who buy insurance on
your own, you will be getting a better deal.
Not if they are forced — as many of them will
be — to buy benefits they dont need at a price
they dont want to pay.
From the beginning, Obamacare has
depended on a political ethic of doing and
saying whatever is necessary. The falsehood
about people keeping their coverage was
essential to selling the legislation. So the
president repeated it relentlessly.
The president got his law, and its possible
more people will be uninsured in 2014 than if
it had never passed. Thats on him, no matter how much he and his supporters want to
evade responsibility for their own achievement.
Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.
A couple of bright spots revealed after Brownbacks tax plans
Nobodys talking very loudly about it, but
if you squint just right…we actually may be
seeing the initial sprouts of what Gov. Sam
Brownback believes will be a surge in economic activity despite the re-engineering of
his tax cut idea by the Legislature.
Remember, two years ago when Brownback
wanted big income tax cuts, and wanted to
keep the state alive by cutting back on deductions and exemptions? The Legislature liked
the tax cuts but didnt like most of the payfors Brownback proposed.
Well, it didnt turn out the way the governor
hoped, but projections from the Consensus
Revenue Estimating Group just might have
pumped a little oxygen to his hopes of what
his tax cuts would bring. Maybe.
The two bright spots among the rows of
figures that Brownback hopes will sprout are
projections of individual income tax receipts
growing by just 1 percentbut growingin
the fiscal year that starts next July 1. Thats
compared to this fiscal year (the one were five
months into) that projects individual income
taxes will drop by 14.7 percent because of the
tax cuts.
Its not big, but…possible that a year from
now, that 1 percent growth may just rise.
The second bright spot is in retail sales and
compensating use taxes. Compensating use?
Think of sales taxes you pay on some, but not
STATE COMMENTARY
MARTIN HAWVER, At The Rail
all, of those Internet purchases you make.
The numbers: Sales tax receipts up 2.9
percent next year, and compensating use tax
up 3.8 percent that year. Not a big deal, but
it presumes that Kansans are going to have
more money, because of income tax cuts, to
spend on things that they pay sales taxes on.
Its a glimmer of light, frankly, one very few
were looking for.
A lot of Kansans believe this cut taxes/
increase prosperity gambit just wont work.
Theres a fair chance they are right. But there
is also this glimmer of light for the governor….
The immediate problem is how long the
state can hold its breath to see whether this
Brownback plan will work. The experiment
could be cut short by the Kansas Supreme
Court ordering hundreds of millions of dollars for increased funding of public schools,
or the Legislature further cutting higher education budgets, with Kansas graduates leaving the state to make their livings and spend
their money somewhere else.
This upcoming legislative session, when
nobodys going to be talking about tax increases in an election year for the Kansas House
and the governor, provides a year to see how
this tax plan works, because there is…barring
a massive spending order from the Supreme
court…enough money for the state to wait
another year for relatively solid evidence that
the tax plan does or doesnt work.
Theres enough money in the projected
State General Fund balances to skate by for
at least a couple years of conservative spending. That ending balance probably defines
how long we can expect the state to hold its
breath.
So, next year, we may find out if this tax
plan works.
Take a gulp…

I would like to put in the Phone Forum
what really is happening with the entire
controversy over the bag is that the young
man who thinks he was suspended over
sexual discrimination being a boy with
a bag. He was suspended because its a
junior high rule that you cannot have
a bag in class and its been that way
for years. And also hes been suspended
multiple times from this school and that
when he went to go to the office he was
cussing at the principal, which got him
more points which got him suspended.
He was not suspended because of his
sexuality. It is not fair to Mr. Hilliard.
He is not allowed to legally say anything
due to confidentially reasons of a student
without parental consent. I just want to
say this in the Phone Fourum that Mr.
Hilliard is doing his job, not discrimination.
Dude, nice purse.
A history lesson for our friends the
Democrats. In 2008 our nation voted and
elected a Democrat president, a Democrat
House and a Democrat U.S. Senate. They
wrote the Obamacare law and passed
it with the majorities they had in each
house. Not a single Republican voted for
Obamacare. You masters of the universe
carry this one solidly around your neck.
Hate to say we told you so. Thank you.
This thing about the kid and the purse,
well, heres some information you dont
know about the lockers at the high school.
Most of them dont lock right. Theyre
easy to pick or jimmy open and the little maggots get in each others lockers
and steal food, money, personal items,
whatever. Nobody tells the teachers or
administrators because nobody wants to
be a rat and have retribution from their
schoolmates. You could do a whole lot to
help the high school if you gave the kids
a secure place to keep their belongings
so they didnt have to carry purses and
backpacks all over the school all day.
Im commenting on how poor the administration is at the high school and the
superintendent in our district. They
should be investigated by the state board
of education. This is ridiculous. You dont
learn nothing from this school district.
The kids are being let down and I think
there should be a full investigation by the
state. This is embarrassing to our school
district and our kids.
The reality of the Anderson County male
student being suspended for a purse
makes me ashamed of Garnett. I am currently in college and I used to love my
hometown, but now I am ashamed. Get
your act together and start representing
Anderson County and Jesus the right
way.
It is easier to fight for ones principles than
to live up to them.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, November 12, 2013

LOCAL
Tax levies published for county, cities
(First published in The Anderson County Review, October 29, 2013)
In which direction are you running?
The book of Jonah begins
with Gods call to Jonah to
preach to the great city of
Nineveh. The word of the
LORD came to Jonah son
of Amittal: Go to the great
city of Nineveh and preach
against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.
(Jonah 1:2) The people of
Nineveh were hated enemies
of the Israelites and were
worshipers of false Gods.
Gods call to Jonah clearly
shows that he had not given
up on Assyria. The prophet
was to call Nineveh to repentance, warning of impending
doom unless Nineveh turned
to God. Jonah had no desire
to preach to the Ninevites
so instead of obeying Gods
command and heading to
Nineveh Jonah bought a ticket to Tarshish and headed in
the opposite direction.
Jonahs attempt to flee
from God was short lived.
For God sent a great wind and
such a violent storm arose
that the ship threatened to
break up. Jonah confessed to
Weekly
Devotional
by David Bilderback
the sailors that he was fleeing
from God and in an attempt to
save the ship Jonah, upon his
own request was thrown over
board and the sea became
calm. In Jonah 1:17 we read.
But the LORD prepared a
great fish to swallow Jonah
and Jonah was inside the fish
three days and three nights.
In chapter two we read
the prayer of Jonah. Jonah
laments his situation saying
in 2:4; I (Jonah) said I have
been banished from your
(Gods) sight; yet I will look
again toward your holy temple. For the prophet the ultimate horror of death was separation or banishment from
the presence of the LORD.
He remembered the temple,
which was the earthly loca-
tion of the divine presence
of God. Jonah longed for the
communion with God that
the temple provided. Jonah
now laments the same divine
presence that he earlier had
sought to flee from.
Jonahs life went down hill
from the time he tried to flee
from God. So far that he
ended up in the bottom of
the sea. Jonah prayed to God
and God spared him to deliver his message to Nineveh.
Jonah did not realize how
bad he needed the presence
of God until he wasnt there.
Does God have a presence
in your life and mine? Do
we run from Gods presence
or to God. The answer to
that question will ultimately
determine whether we spend
eternity with God or banished
from his sight.

Ministry on the Holiness of
God.

Garnett youth football team wins league championship
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The outlook for
Garnett football is looking
bright following an undefeated
8-0 season for the 5th and 6th
grade youth football team.
The team squared a 25-6 victory over Iola for the league
championship on Tuesday
November 5. These two teams
met up to open the season as
Garnett cruised to a 34-7 victory in the earlier win.
Garnett was led offensively by Tank Spencer. Spencer
rushed for 133 yards and had
3 touchdowns on the ground
and also threw for a score.
Spencer connected with Jayden
Jarrett in the 4th quarter for
a 20 yard touchdown pass
and catch. Defensively, Dallas
Higginbotham and Raven
Maley led the way with 5 and
4 tackles respectively. Chance
Cobb chipped in as well defensively with an interception in
the 3rd quarter. Garnett was
able to convert the turnover
into a touchdown on their ensuing possession.
This was just the icing on
the cake to an overall dominating season by Garnett. Garnett
outscored their opponents 24038 for the season. Spencer led
the offense with 1,228 yards
rushing. Higginbotham led the
team with 28 tackles on the
defensive side of the ball. The
defense forced 10 interceptions
and recovered 9 fumbles while
allowing just 6 touchdowns in
the 8 games.
The parents seem to agree
that this was a great learning
experience, both off and on the
field. It not only teaches them
how to be better football players, but teaches them to work
as a team.
It was awesome to see such
young kids come together and
work as a team. The kids realized that football is about a
team and not about one or two
people, Lacey Coyer, a parent
of one of the players, said. Traci
Hill, also a parent of one of the
players stated, The whole season was beyond great. There
was great team work and the
coaches were great also.

Nunsense is fall
musical at ACHS
Anderson County High
School opens its theatrical season this year with Nunsense:
The Mega-Musical.
The show is a fundraiser put
on by Reverend Mother Mary
Regina (Isabel Sibley) and the
other Little Sisters of Hoboken
(Eliza Sibley, Melissa Kropf,
Tana Benton, Kaylen Peine).
Sister Julia, Child of God (Kori
Pitts), is the convent cook and
she has made some vichyssoise
soup which turns out to be poisonous. 52 sisters die. Believe
it or not, this is a comedy…it
really is funny. They bury 48 of
the 52 sisters and then Reverend
Mother buys a Plasma TV for
the convent thinking theres
enough money to bury the
last four and there isnt. Now
theyre putting on this fundraiser which makes it a show
within a show so they can raise
the money to bury the rest of
the dead sisters. Its a really
funny show.
Other cast members include
Gwendolyn
Sibley,
Hope
Theisman, Lillian Richardson,
Asa Young, Alisha Gettler, Bobbi
Jo Rockers, Brandy Grimes,
Grace Urquhart, Katelyn Alley,
Kristen Simpson, Mackenzie
Lutz, Rachel Gilbert, and Remi
Hedges.
Directors Vicki Markham
and Allison Russell, even
after sitting through all of the
rehearsals, still have a good
time watching and laughing as
the actors bring the characters
to life in this musical comedy.
Cost of admission tonight is
$5 for adults and $3 for students. It begins at 7 p.m. Friday,
November 15, and Saturday,
November 16. Friends of the
Arts will provide a free-will
donation dessert bar during
intermission.
ACH offers on-call chaplain
GARNETT Patients at
Anderson County Hospital now
have 24/7 access to spiritual
support and guidance through
the new on-call chaplaincy program. The program ensures
that patients and families are
provided with additional, inperson support from a member
of the clergy during hospitalization or in the event of an
emergency.
Our goal is to be available to
all patients and family members
in time of crisis, Ron Jones,
Anderson County Hospital
chaplain coordinator said. We
want to recognize the importance of meeting the spiritual
needs of our patients as part of
the healing process.
The new program is comprehensive and inclusive of all
faiths. Patients will be offered
the service upon admission
and asked if they have a reli-
gious preference. Developed in
partnership with the Garnett
Area Ministerial Alliance, the
program provides access to
chaplaincy support 24 hours a
day, seven days a week. The
on-call chaplain will be called
in case of emergent events to
ensure patients and families
have spiritual support during
a crisis. Seven local chaplains
have attended the on-call chaplaincy program orientation at
Anderson County Hospital.
We continue to look for
opportunities to provide the

2003: Judge throws out vehicular homicide case
Nov. 18, 2003
District Court Judge James
Smith last week put an end to
some 18 months of court action
in the May 2002 traffic deaths of
two Central Heights students,
declaring in effect that glancing
at a cell phone while driving
didnt constitute enough negligence to convict a woman of
vehicular homicide. The girls
died on graduation day last
year when their vehicle was
struck from behind as they were
stopped waiting to turn at the
Scipio Schoolhouse on U.S. 59
north of Garnett. The woman
said she was looking at her cell
phone when her car slammed
into the other car, smashing it
into another vehicle.
Garnett City Commissioners
are considering an offer of
gift deeds from a Garnett man
whose three Oak Street properties were recently found to be
unsafe and may soon be condemned. The owner made it
known that he did not plan to
fix the dilapidated structures at
522, 524 and 526 South Oak. Now
city commissioners must decide
whether to accept the gift deeds
and how the city might use the
properties or whether to allow
the condemnation process to
continue.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 11-12-2013 / Photo Submitted
These are four of many grinding stones found during collection
surveys in Anderson County. The Mano, or milling or grinding
stone, was a popular tool of Native Americans.
Manos are Native
American grinding stones
These are just four of the
many grinding stones I have
found during my surface
collecting surveys here in
Anderson County.
The Mano, otherwise
known as a milling or grinding stone was a popular stone
tool of the Native Americans.
The grinding stone was hardly
ever made from flint material,
probably because of the hardness and sharp edges of flint.
A far more suitable stone for
grinding was a smooth, wellworn river rock, generally
granite or similar material.
The smooth river rock was
more comfortable to the palm
of the hand and could be used
for several hours with very
little discomfort. Many grinding stones when flattened on
both sides will often resemble
a new bar of soap.
Although the grinding
stone is commonly found, its
not very easily found, especially that most of our farm-

ing has gone to no till.
Most grinding stones are
4 to 6 inches in length, 3 to
4 inches in width and 2 to
3 inches in thickness and
oblong or round in shape.
Many times at a campsite,
several broken manos and
perhaps a broken metate may
be found.
Some authorities feel that
any time the Native Americans
abandoned a campsite, they
would intentionally break
their manos and metates(
grinding slabs) perhaps as a
ritual.
