Signs of a plan take shape
City can expect to pay $15K

GARNETT – Taxpayers can expect the
City of Garnett to spend about $15,000
on street name signs, stop signs and
yield signs every seven years.
Thats a summary of a plan presented to city commissioners last week,

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – People who want
to get involved in local government will have an opportunity
to make their case for a job as
the City of Garnetts next commissioner.
The city is now accepting
applications to fill a vacancy
on the commission, after Dan
Morgan officially announced
his resignation at the Nov. 13
meeting. Applications will be
accepted until Nov. 26. People
who are interested should
submit an application or letter of intent by 5 p.m. Nov. 26,
at City Hall. Applicants must
be registered
to vote and

Morgan resigned to move

last month. His term expires
in April 2014, so whoever is
appointed to his position should

Prices of industrial
lots slashed by $11K
Economic development
key part of negotiation
for real estate deals
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Make me an
offer.
Thats how city officials are
encouraging developers who
are interested in two industrial
lots that have been for sale for
seven years.
Commissioners dropped the
asking price on the lots by about
$11,000 each, but left open the
possibility that the price could
be negotiated even further…
under the right conditions.
Those conditions could include
creation of a good number of
jobs or bringing in a considerable amount of sales tax or utility revenues.
The lots are in the Prairie
Plaza Business Park south of
the Garnett Inn off U.S. 169,
and were originally offered at
$50,000 and $30,000. Now, the
lots will be offered at $39,000
and $19,000. The city received a
handful of nibbles on the properties at those prices over the
years but no project ever came
to fruition there.
Prices for the lots were set
in 2005 or so, when the real
estate market was considerably
better. Economic development

ple to city attractions and replacing
two welcome signs – will come later.
Preliminary estimates put the cost of
the welcome signs at $7,000.
Replacement of street signs, stop
signs and yield signs is part of a federal mandate that requires uniformity for traffic control devices across
the country. The deadline to identify
which signs need to be replaced, and
to have those signs replaced as needed,
is May 14, 2014. City workers already
have taken steps toward compliance,
such as doing an inventory of signs.
Garnett police officers are testing the
reflectivity of existing signs.
City Manager Joyce Martin laid out
a schedule to replace signs in each of
the citys four wards between 2013 and
2016. The city has a total of 297 street
signs, expected to cost about $8,910.
The city has 100 stop signs, with a total
replacement cost of $4,695; and 27 yield
signs with a replacement cost of $737.
There are 45 other signs that will need
to be replaced at a cost of about $900.
The total cost to replace all signs is
$15,242, but that number could change
if sign companies offer discounts for
bulk orders, Martin said.
Because signs lose their reflectivity

New mapping system
will save time, money
in appraisal process
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
New technology that will cost
Anderson County nearly $50,000
will be worth the investment,
deputy appraiser and zoning
director Jay Velvick said.
Anderson
County
Commissioners recently agreed
to pay $48,978 to a company that
will convert property ownership
maps to a digital format. The
company, R&S Digital Services
of Great Bend, will convert the
maps into a digital format so
they can be integrated with
specialized appraisal software.
Eventually, the maps will be
included on a website where they
can be viewed by the public. The
website eventually will include
a variety of information, such as
maps and detailed descriptions
of the property.
The conversion will translate
into considerable time and cost
savings for the county, Velvick
said. Currently, county property ownership maps are handdrawn and inked on large sheets
of polyester film. The maps are
used by appraisal staff and are
important for a variety of professionals, such as real estate
agents and appraisers. Staff
frequently handle requests by
those professionals to look up
properties on the maps. By having the maps available online,

City could raise tax on visitors at local hotels, motels
Comparison shows
guest tax rate is
among lowest in area
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Visitors who stay
in a Garnett hotel, motel or bed
and breakfast may have to pay
a slightly higher tax rate if city
commissioners opt to raise it.
City Manager Joyce Martin
told commissioners Tuesday,
Nov. 13, that she was compiling
a study of transient guest tax
rates in cities across the region,
and could ask for an increase in
the local rate.
Kansas cities and counties
can charge an additional tax
on facilities that rent rooms
for sleeping accommodations,
called the transient guest tax.
Money collected by the tax can
only be spent to promote tourism and conventions.
Locally, the citys tourism
board takes requests and recommends how the city should
allocate the money. Most often,
groups such as Cornstock and
the Chamber Players ask for
money to help advertise an
event. A majority of the advertising must be outside Anderson
County, so the goal is to attract
visitors to Garnett who will
utilize local hotels and motels.
When that happens, the hotels
and motels collect more taxes
that can be used to promote
more events, in theory creating
a self-sustaining cycle.
If the tax were increased,
its possible the city could help
more groups and promote more
events. The city has collected
enough money that theyve
never had to turn down a
request because of a lack of
funds. Requests may be denied
for other reasons, or a group
may not receive as much money
as they requested. Still, its pos-
sible the time will come when
the citys fund cannot meet the
demand, tourism committee
member Scott Rogers said.
Were aware we need to
be cautious. Were being more
critical of requests, Rogers
said.
Commissioner Preston Peine
said he had several concerns,
but he had seen how successful groups could become with
help from the tax fund. The
Garnett Area Chamber Players,
for example, have been using
money from the transient guest
tax fund to promote theatrical
performances. As a result, the
groups last play quickly sold
out on all performances and
they scheduled more performances to meet demand. The
group is planning a new play
that starts Nov. 23, and had
to schedule additional performances because it sold out of

the city will have to repeat
the process about every seven
years, Martin said. In previous
years, the city budgeted about
$2,500 to replace signs that were
damaged or for other reasons.
Commissioners increased that
amount to $5,000 starting this
year, which should more than
cover the cost.
Commissioners asked Martin
for a detailed plan, schedule and
budget for signs after a discussion Oct. 30. The city has been
working to develop a new brand
for marketing and tourism, and
signs are a big part of that plan.
A study found the city has many
attractions but it can be difficult for visitors to find their
way around town.
A marketing consultant
and at least three advisory
groups have been working to
develop a plan for new signs.
A tourism committee member
asked city commissioners Oct.
30 to approve spending $7,000
to replace two welcome signs
at the north and south end of
the city, but commissioners
balked. Instead, they asked for
a detailed schedule and budget.
Martins proposal to replace
street signs was exactly what
they wanted, Commissioner
Preston Peine said, and he commended her quick response to
their request. Next, shell present a similar plan for signs to
help people navigate through
the city and gateway signs to
direct people off the highway
and into Garnett.
Its important for citizens to
see there is a plan here, theres
a vision in place and a set of criteria along the way. And, ultimately, there is an end, Peine
said.

The two remaining commissioners, Mayor Greg Gwin
and Preston Peine, will review
applications and interview candidates. In case of a tie, City
Attorney Terry Solander will
cast the deciding vote.
Peine said he would like to see
a new commissioner installed at
the Dec. 26 meeting. That could
be complicated by the holiday
season, Solander warned.
Morgan urged his fellow commissioners to consider appointing a woman to the post. Two
women have served on the city
commission in the past, Sandy
Peine and Janice Hodgson.
Hodgson was the last woman
to serve and her term ended in
April 2001.
Although Morgan said his
resignation was effective Dec.
1, there was some debate over
when exactly it would take
effect. Solander said when he
moves, he automatically vacates
the position. Morgan and his
family moved this past weekend, but he said he intends to
attend the next meeting Nov.
27 via conference call. Solander
said there could be some debate
if Morgan is not living in the

recently there was interest in

potential buyer wanted to know
if the city would come down in

they would be willing to make.
Martin asked if the city could
advertise not only the new price
but also a statement that prices
are negotiable depending on
the number of jobs created and
projected sales tax and utility
revenues.
Commissioner Preston Peine
questioned the need for such a
statement, saying it should be
understood that any real estate
deal offers room for negotiation.
If Im selling a car, you can
at least make me an offer. It
doesnt mean Im going to take
it, Peine said. I dont know
that we need to sit here today
and make those determinations.
Susan Wettstein, administrative assistant and public
relations manager for the city,
pointed out that it would be easier to market the properties if
potential buyers knew up front
they could get a lower price by
creating a good number of jobs.
In the end, commissioners
decided to lower the price but
leave any other conditions for
the negotiation process.
TAX…
FROM PAGE 1A
tickets almost immediately.
Commissioners were skeptical of possibly changing the tax
rate and had several questions,
such as if the need exceeds revenue and how well the tourism
committee examines the success or failure of groups who
benefit from the tax money.
Martin said it was too early in
the process to be able to answer
those questions, but those are
the types of things she will consider as she studies the issue.
Martin said the city could do
more with its tourism plans if
the transient guest tax fund was
increased. She plans to meet
with the tourism committee
next month to talk more about
the issue, and then will bring
recommendations from that
committee to the commission.
The citys transient guest tax
rate of 3 percent took effect in
1995 and collected about $13,556
in 2012 with just three facilities
collecting the tax. Thats lower
than the amount collected in
2011, which was $15,304. The
city collected $12,182 in 2010.
Not every city or county in
Kansas collects transient guest
tax. Of the cities and counties
that do, the tax varies between
1 percent to a high of 9 percent
in Overland Park and Mission.
Most cities in the Kansas City
metro area have a transient
guest tax of 6 percent or more.
In the local area, Osawatomie,
Paola and Franklin County each
collect 6 percent. Iola collects 4
percent, and Coffey County collects 3 percent.
Garnett has not changed the
transient guest tax rate since its
inception in 1995; most cities in
the area have modified their tax
rate since the mid or late 2000s.

Studied, firm-willed
individual needed to
meet trials for city seat
It will pay both Garnett City
Commissioners and the applicants who
seek the commission seat vacated by
Dan Morgan to do some serious thinking about the type of job that will confront his replacement on the commission. Contemplating and understanding
the challenges
that lay ahead
will go a long way EDITORIAL
toward defining
the characteristics of the best
pick.
From finance
to staff management to economic
development to

choices defined
either by them or foisted upon them by
circumstance. The ability to make clear,
well-considered decisions is and has
always been integral to the makeup of
a competent local official, and a challenging local economic landscape for at
least the next several years in our community makes that aspect of character
paramount in Morgans replacement.
The replacement will need to be
appointed as soon as prudently possible. Morgans relocation disqualifies
him from taking part in official votes
on the commission, and should a divisive issue arise, remaining commissioners Peine and Gwin could find themselves in a stalemate and worse yet, be
under the added pressure of selecting
a replacement whose first action would
entail being a controversial tie-breaker.
Its in the best interests of the city, the
existing commissioners and the eventual replacement to make the appointment as soon as possible.
The newly appointed commissioner
will sit down to a desk filled with immediate challenges, the biggest and most
daunting of which is coming up with a
strategy to try to replace an estimated
$2 million in salary as well as other
ancillary local revenues from the loss
of 70 jobs and three local companies
over the course of the past two years or
so. That particular challenge has not
yet been fully and directly embraced by
local leaders as the high-profile priority
which it warrants, but barring a major
winter weather disaster in our area it is
the single biggest recent impact on our
economy.
The challenge of maintaining city
services on reduced revenues will
most certainly continue for the next
couple of years. A still stagnant housing market is beginning to translate
into stagnant or lower property values
for homeowners, which means less tax
value to assess within a city budget and
less general equity held in the community. City leaders avoided capital
purchases almost entirely in the 2013
budget to hold down taxes, but equipment and infrastructure wears out and
eventually has to be replaced. Hiking
prices for natural gas, which the city
purchases for its municipal gas utility,
as well as the loss of revenues of a huge
water customer in East Kansas Agri
Energy and the continuing microscopic
yield of interest rates on the citys idle
funds all point toward tighter belts
and tough decisions to be made.
All that makes the right applicant
for Morgans replacement a person of
careful study, solid will, creative thinking and square-jawed decision-making
toughness. A time of challenges beckons.
Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever
achieve greatly.

The GOPs cold comfort
BY RICH LOWRY
NATIONAL REVIEW
No sooner had the electoral thundercloud arrived Nov. 6 than some
Republicans began searching it for a
silver lining. It is an understandable
impulse after a defeat to want to minimize its magnitude and rationalize away
its causes. But there are no comforting
augurs for Republicans
in President Barack
Obamas victory. It was
crushing and ominous,
and its pointless to try
to deny it. Republicans
are comforting themselves with a few arguments, none of which is
Lowry
persuasive.
It was a close election. Yes, but that
doesnt quite capture it. A better way to
think of it is as a narrow landslide. The
president won by more than two points
nationally, a big margin by contemporary standards. The Electoral College
magnified it into a 332-206 stomping.
While just 400,000 more votes in four
key states would have won the election for Mitt Romney, two can play that
game. John Kerry lost by about 120,000
votes in decisive Ohio in 2004, and Al
Gore by 500 votes in decisive Florida in
2000 (while he won the national popular
vote). These, by the way, are the only
two presidential elections Democrats
have lost in the past six.
This year, Republicans only managed to take back Indiana and North
Carolina from 2008. And Obama had
coattails. Democrats picked up two
Senate seats in a year when Republicans
dreamed of taking back the majority
because so many Democratic seats were
up. They picked up about seven House
seats despite re-districting that tilted
the playing field in the GOPs direction.
Republicans had better hope they dont
suffer defeats in many more such close
elections.
Mitt Romney was a weak candidate.
Sure, Romney was flawed. He was never
a natural politician, and his privateequity background amplified negative
perceptions of Republicans. But Romney
was clearly the strongest of the can-

a period of soul-searching. Well,
they might. On the other hand,
it could just as easily be a period
of divisiveness, folly and
self-delusion.
didates in the primary field in the
run-up to a winnable general election.
What does that say about the party?
The Washington Post points out that in
almost every important Senate race, the
Republican candidate actually underperformed Romney.
Romney was too moderate. No doubt,
Romney is ultimately a pragmatic problem-solver. But he ran on arguably the
most conservative platform since Barry
Goldwater. He won conservatives handily, 82 percent to 17 percent. But conservatives are only 35 percent of the
electorate. He lost moderates, who were
41 percent of the electorate, by 56-41.
Presumably, they werent voting against
him because they thought he wasnt
conservative enough.
The GOP has a strong bench. True
enough. The party has talented up-andcoming politicians, but no one can know
if any of them will make a compelling
presidential candidate. Or know that
Democrats wont have a compelling new
candidate of their own.
Republicans will benefit from a period of soul-searching. Well, they might.
On the other hand, it could just as easily be a period of divisiveness, folly and
self-delusion.
Denial is a natural stage of grief.
Its a psychological mechanism that is
of no use to a political party, though.
Republican clarity must begin with
a frank assessment of the Debacle of
2012.

Review.

Judge selection process in Brownbacks sights
We have just seen the start of a dramatic change in the independence of the
states three branches of government:
executive, legislative and judicial.
That change started with the takeover of the Kansas Senate (legislative
branch) by very conservative lawmakers
who were swept into office at the primary election and confirmed by the results
of the general election.
That tipping point was followed up by
the action of the Kansas Supreme Court
Nominating Commission last week.
That action? It was to leave the iconic conservatives out of the group of
three nominees from which Gov. Sam
Brownback will choose the successor
to fill the slot on the Kansas Court of
Appeals caused by the upcoming retirement of Judge Chrystal Marquardt.
The potential nominees who make
conservatives legs tingle were former
State Rep. Anthony Powell, R-Wichita,
who is now a Sedgwick County District
Court judge, and Caleb Stegall, a former
Jefferson County Attorney who grew up
to be Brownbacks chief legal counsel.
Those two applicants are out of
the mix, and its clear that the lawyer-heavy Supreme Court Nominating
Commissionwhich Brownback wants
taken out of the process of selecting
nominees to the states second highest
courtis seeing its last days.
by Martin Hawver
KANSAS STATEHOUSE COLUMNIST
Including either Powell or Stegall in the
list of names forwarded to Brownback
might have taken some of the conservative legislative pressure off of the nominating commission. But its unlikely that
would extend the commissions life.
So, it appears, that the nominating
commissionwhich soon will nominate to Brownback candidates to fill the
vacancy on the Appeals Court caused by
the Oct. 7 death of Chief Judge Richard
Greeneis likely to find three relatively
socially and legally moderate candidates
to send to Brownback. Its the point that
if the nominating commission role is
about to end, the panel likely will put all
the moderate judges on the bench possible before it is pulled out of the process.
Remember, two years ago, Brownback
campaigned on taking the nominating
commission out of the Appeals Court
process, letting him select his own judges, subject to Senate confirmation. The
bill passed the House, and the moderate
Senate didnt consider it.
This time around, look for the Senate
to pass that bill, and if the Senate passes
the bill, theres little reason to believe it
would reject any candidate Brownback
wants the Senate to confirm. Thats if the
House with about 50 new members is still
on board with the bill.
(The Kansas Supreme Court? The
state constitution requires the nominating panel procedure; it will take a constitutional amendment approved by twothirds of the House and Senate to send to
Kansas voters the proposed amendment
to let the governor name his/her own
Supreme Court justices.)
So, we could have a governor essentially controlling membership on the
court and the Legislature likely going
along with him/her.
Well just have to wait to see whether
Brownback proposes early retirement
buyouts for judges…

First Thanksgiving had familiar elements
This week we celebrate
Thanksgiving.
Are we truly a thankful
nation? I know Kay and I are
thankful for more things than
I can possibly write down in
this column. I recently had a
fella tell me, man our nations
really going to pot. Well, Im
not so sure of that, but, I certainly know that Mr. or Mrs.
Turkey are and very soon. The
two things I love most about
Thanksgiving dinner are cranberries and pumpkin pie.
The Pilgrims, after a four
month journey that began in
Holland, landed at Plymouth on
December 11, 1620. Confronted
with severe weather and a
plague that killed hundreds of
local Indians, they had by the
fall of 1621 lost 46 of their own
members, mainly to scurvy
and pneumonia. The survivors,
though, had something to be
thankful for. A new and bountiful crop had been harvested.
Food was abundant. And they
were alive, in large part thanks

to the assistance of one person:
an English speaking Pawtuxet
Indian named Squanto, who
was to stay by their side until
his death two years later.
The first Thanksgiving
Day had all the elements of
modern celebrations, only on
a smaller scale. A parade of
soldiers, blasting muskets and
trumpeting bugles, was staged
by Captain Myles Standish,
later to be immortalized in
Longfellows The Courtship of
Miles Standish. The 90 Indian
braves competed against the settlers in foot races and jumping

matches. And after the Indians
displayed their accuracy with
bow and arrow, the white men,
with guns, exhibited their own
marksmanship, Did you know,
after that first plentiful and
protracted meal, the Pilgrims
never regularly celebrated a
Thanksgiving Day.
Before I close this weeks
column, I want to share this
little Thanksgiving poem with
you: Oh, Valentine Day is well
enough, And Fourth of July
is jolly, And Christmas time
is beautiful, With its gifts and
wreaths of holly. New Years
calling is rather nice, And
Halloween sports are funny,
And a May Day party isnt bad,
When the weather is warm and
sunny. Oh, all of them are well
enough; But the day that is best
worth living, Is when we all go
to grandmammas, To a splendid, big Thanksgiving.
Kay and I want to wish everyone a beautiful, bountiful and
blessed Thanksgiving 2012.

1912: Marriage was just a joke The Anderson County Review online
Nov. 19, 2002
Anderson County commissioners last week opted to continue to pursue the prospects
for building a new Anderson
County Jail by other means
since voters rejected a sales tax
bond issue for the project nearly 2 to 1. County sheriff Darin
Dalsing told commissioners
hed discussed the possibilities
of a lease arrangement for the
project with architects in which
the county would find private
financing for the $5.2 million
facility and then lease it with
periodic payments composed of
its own operating revenues and
tax funding, but the payments
would have to be guaranteed
by tax funding. Dalsing said the
county was now on the record
with the present jails deficiencies, and as such was liable if
a prisoner or anyone else was
injured in the various problems
the aging jail might cause. That
fact made it all the more important to find some way to fix the
jails problems, he said.
The Kincaid-Selma United
Methodist Church held its
final services in the old church
building Sunday, Nov. 17. The
church building, which was
built in 1913, will likely be sold
later this year. The Methodist
Church in Kincaid was first
organized in 1886.

The Board of Education for

The session had been set so the
board members could discuss
and possibly vote on a proposal
being offered by IBM on a special computer program designed
to help teach writing and reading skills to kindergarteners
and first graders. However, no
motion was made to purchase
the $26,000 program, thereby
foregoing the needed approval
date before the Nov. 8 purchase
deadline. It was the consensus
that the board would rather see

computers at the junior high
and high school levels and then

A new water reservoir to provide for future water needs of
the city of Garnett and updating of the sewer system to correct an infiltration problem are
planned in the future of the
water and sewer systems of the
city. The Cedar Creek reservoir
will be located about three and
one-half miles west of the city
and is anticipated to provide up
to four million gallons per day
of water for the city. The project will cost up to $2.5 million to
build.
Plans for the future of the hospital kitchen were discussed by
the Anderson County Hospital
Board of Trustees and committees were appointed to consider
updating the radio communications system at the hospital and
renovation of patient rooms.
The present kitchen has ventilation and drainage problems and
the elevator to the basement
where the kitchen is located
does not work. The stairway is
inadequate as people that have
special diets go to the kitchen
for meals. Board members have
the option of renovating the
existing basement or moving
the kitchen to an addition on
the existing building.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 11-20-2012 / Photo Submitted
On Veterans Day, November 11, Steve Newland, Richard Singer and Tom Emerson, representing Garnett V.F.W. Post #6397
and Fuller-Thompson American Legion Post #48, presented American flags to individual veterans residing in Anderson County
Hospital Long Term Care (above photo), Golden Heights Nursing Home (below, left) and Guest Home Estates Assisted Living
(below, right) to honor and thank them for their service in the U.S. military.
Local law enforcement to take
part in Thanksgiving campaign
The
Garnett
Police
Department and the Anderson
County Sheriff Office, along
with many other police agencies across the state, including
the Kansas Highway Patrol,
will be participating in the
Kansas Thanksgiving Traffic
Enforcement Campaign, from
now through Sunday, November
25. A grant from the Kansas
Department of Transportation
KDOT) will underwrite overtime traffic enforcement especially targeted at impaired drivers and vehicle occupants who
are not properly restrained.
Sur prisingly,
the
Thanksgiving holiday weekend
(Wednesday-Sunday) commonly out ranks all other holidays
in its number of alcohol-related
crashes. Those driving under
the influence of alcohol or other
drugs endanger not only themselves, but also their passengers,
other motorists, bicyclists and
pedestrians. On average, across
Kansas, six persons are killed
or injured in alcohol-related
crashes each day. According to
KDOT, which tracks all crashes
in the state, vehicle occupants
in alcohol-related crashes are
over two and a half times more
likely to be injured or killed
than those involved in crashes
where alcohol or other drugs
were not a factor.
Failure to buckle up is also
responsible for needless death
and maiming. Kansans who
do not buckle up are nearly 12
times more likely to be killed
and almost twice as likely to
suffer injury as those who do
buckle up. Even worse is the fact
that injuries suffered by those
who are unbuckled are likely
to be much more severe and
disabling than those suffered by
those who are restrained.

Lickteigs
to serve
as parade
grand
marshals
The Garnett Area Chamber
of Commerce is pleased to
announce that Walter and
Dorothy Lickteig of Greeley
have been chosen as this years
Christmas
Parade
Grand
Marshalls. After many years
of service, Dorothy is resigning
as president of the Anderson
County Historical Society at the
end of this year. She has done so
much for the Historical Society,
the Museum, and for Anderson
County as a whole that it is very
fitting that she and her husband
should be chosen to lead this
years parade.
The 42nd annual GACC
Christmas Parade and Lighting
Ceremony is Saturday, November
24, at 6:30 pm on Garnetts historic downtown square. This
years theme is Christmas
Lights for Winter Nights. The
winning theme was submitted
by Todd Allen Crawford, a 4th
grader at Garnett Elementary
School. Todd will have the honor
of riding on the fire truck with
Santa in the parade.
Parade entry forms are still
available at the Chamber office
or can be faxed or e-mailed upon
request. This year the GACC is
selling red glow bracelets and
necklaces for only $1.00 each to
help light up the parade as well
as to help fund our Light Up
the Night project to replace
the worn Christmas decorations
along the Highway 59 corridor
through Garnett.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, November 20, 2012
Take time to be thankful
As I stood on the deck and
watched the sunset I couldnt
help but have a feeling of
thankfulness. In Psalm 100:4-5
the Psalmist says; Enter his
gates with thanksgiving and his
courts with praise; give thanks
to him and praise his name.
For the LORD is good and his
love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all
generations. Most of us dont
spend much time thinking of
all we have to be thankful for.
Yet the Psalmist states we are to
enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise.
I believe this means if we want
to come into Gods presence we
must do it willfully and joyfully.
This can be just as difficult
as it sounds because we live in a

most difficult time. Everything
is built for convenience yet
with all this convenience at our
fingertips never have we had
less time for our family, spouse
and ultimately God. The entire
globe is at our fingertips and
and the unlimited information
that goes with it. The problem
as I see it is maybe we have
too much information, to many
choices.
We must ask ourselves are
we spending too much time on
things that add little or no value
to our lives. What really adds
value to your life and mine?
What has added the most value
to my life is the personal relationship I have with Jesus. If we
build a relationship with Jesus
Christ we will learn of Gods
goodness and dependability. In
Psalm 100:5 we hear that God
is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues
through all generations.
In order to build a relationship it takes time and effort.
Building a relationship with
God is no different. We need
to study his word, we need to
spend time in prayer. This may
sound foreign or difficult but
as believers of Jesus Christ we
each have within us the Holy
Spirit, who knows the mind of

become actively involved in all
that they do to get the most out
of life. He emphasized enjoying
each day of your life not waiting
for tomorrow.
After the meeting was
adjourned members got the
opportunity to participate in
the District Community Service
project. The members made
dog toys out of recycled materials to take back to their local
animal shelter.
Officer Paige Tush, secretary, liked the presenter Mr.
Cordes the best; she said, He
was so funny! Maley Sherman,
publicity officer, also liked Mr.
Cordes the best, His dance
moves were great, I liked that
he taught them to us! – Kayla
Taylor, Crest FCCLA Advisor
Lions
President A.J. Silvey opened
the Nov. 7 meeting. Members
were happy to see President
Silvey residing in his chair following ill health. Nine members
were in attendance to discuss
the upcoming holiday events.
Christmas poinsettias will be
purchased from the Crest High
School nursery for the local
shut-ins and those in nursing
homes. The Lions are looking
forward to the Colony Christmas
tree lighting and the arrival
of Santa Claus in the parade
Dec. 1. Members will hold their
annual Christmas dinner for
members and spouses to be held
this year at the Colony Diner.
The Lions Club has added a new
aluminum can drop-off box in
the city located at the corner of
Broad and Cherry Streets. All
contributions are welcome and
proceeds will be used for good
causes. This civic organization
contributes many worthwhile
projects for our community.
Any one is welcome to join and
contribute to their great causes.
The next meeting will be held
Dec.5 at 7 p.m. at the Methodist
Church basement. The United
Methodist Women serves a supper at each meeting that is very
much appreciated by members.
Around Town:
Steve and
Sue Michael have purchased
the Delma French home in west
Colony.
Stever Rental Properties, LLC
have sold the home on 5th and
Oak Streets (many recall this
home as the Velma Whittaker
home) to Robert Cerruti and
Brandon Thomas Allen Cerruti.
Robert is the son of Olive Kresge
and brother of Gina Veerkamp.
Susan Luedke underwent
surgery Wednesday at Ransom
Memorial Hospital, Ottawa. She
is recuperating well.
Bonnie Rook celebrated
her birthday Nov. 9. Her sister Arlene Allen and daughter
Shirley Marsh, Emporia, Judy
Thyer, Dave Holman, Delores
Biship, Paula Decker, Mary
Decker and Bonnie all dined
for lunch at the Country Diner.
That evening a carry-in dinner was held at Bonnies home.
Attending were Connie and Rick
Thompson, Blake and Hannah
Thompson, Owen, Nora and
Molly, Kincaid, Justin and Erin

and Kamryn, Colony. An evening meal was held at the home
of Leonard, compliments of his
wife, Debbie.
The monthly fire meeting was
held Nov. 7 at the fire station.
Fourteen members attended. A
short meeting was held and a
new pump was installed on Unit
515.
The city of Colony had a water
leak repair job and notified several residents in the southwest
part of town the water would
be turned off from 8:45 a.m. to
around 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 7. The
leak was fixed in much shorter
time.
Working at the polls Tuesday
were Bonnie Vincent and
Kathryn Weldin for Indian
Creek Township, Charlotte
Wallace and Kloma Buckle for
Ozark Township.
Colony received 1.5-inch rain
Sunday morning that was very
much needed. Sunday was the
166th day of drought. To date
we are around 12 inches short
of normal moisture at this time
of year.
The Pilgrims set sail from
England on the Mayflower for
a three-month voyage to the
New World in 1620. The ship
departed with 102 passengers
and arrived in America with
the same number. Although two
passengers died en route, two
babies were born!
On Thanksgiving Day take
a few minutes to reflect upon
all the things for which you
are thankful. And have special
greetings to those in the military
and our eastern states that are
dealing with so much destruction from Hurricane Sandy, our
prayers are with them.
