Citys frugality questioned
during recent budget hearing
Question: Is it right to
subsidize city tax payers
with utility reserves?
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The citys recent budget hearing turned into a fiscal
soul-searching discussion for commissioners and city staff over the
funding of city government, and
whether Garnett raises enough in
property taxes to properly run the
city with an eye toward the future.
The discussion came as the
city finalized its 2018 budget after
numerous discussions over several months regarding the citys
previous practice of drafting funds
from its utility reserves to subsidize the general budget, enabling
commissioners to keep property
taxes lower.
Newly-hired city manager Chris
Weiner noted that practice as he
worked his way into the citys
finances in his early weeks on the
job, and told city commissioners at
the time hed prefer to reorganize
the spending plan so that real costs
to run certain departments were
assessed to those departments and
not to utility funds.
Budget figures for the city ended
up at net expenses of $10,650,000 for
2018, with $988,355 of that amount
to be raised in local property
taxes. The 2017 numbers netted
$10,169,648 in expenses on $984,985
from the city mill levy. The citys
assessed valuation increased lightly to $22,994,979 from $22,916,134.
But the general discussion over
spending practices was brought

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Lee Miller was
remembered by friends, fellow
firemen and civic cohorts last
week for his commitment to local
emergency services, his involvement with veterans groups and his
passion for youth baseball.
Miller passed away Tuesday
after a lingering illness at the age
of 79.
Miller served for decades in
a number of capacities with the
Garnett Fire Department, both as
chief and as a vocal advocate for
developing, training and equipping the local department. In a 2005
presentation
to the Garnett
Rotary
Club,
Miller lauded
the
resourcefulness of his
department
volunteers and
noted how much
their efforts in
Miller
constructing
some of their
own equipment, like a trailer for
the underwater search and rescue
team, lended to the budgets they
were allowed and grants and other
funding they were able to acquire.
Anderson County Emergency
No time for a fire
Holidays pose more
fire risk, need more
attention to safety
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT It seems like barely a holiday season goes by in
the local area without a home
damaged or consumed and the
family tragically affected by a
house fire.
J.D. Mersman, head of
Anderson County Emergency
Management, said attention
to fire safety even in modern
homes needs to go up as temperatures start down.
I cant stress enough how
important it is to make sure
wood burning stoves and fireplaces are installed properly
and maintained, Mersman
said. Make sure the flue pipes
are clear of debris and obstructions that can prevent many
of the structure fire calls we
get every winter. He said
those inspections are best handled by a certified chimney
sweep/inspector or an HVAC
technician.
The American Red Cross
says some 47,000 fires occur
during the winter holidays,
claiming more than 500 lives
annually and more than a half
billion in property damage.
Children playing cause an
average of 40 home fires a day
during the holiday season.
Mersman said its also
important to keep anything
flammable or ignitable away
from the fire box of a stove or
fireplace is a good idea also.
Newspaper, carpet, and
furniture are all things weve
seen ignite because they were
too close to the heat source,
Mersman said. This is important not only in homes but also
shops, barns, and garages.
Space heaters can be
extremely dangerous, they
must be kept a safe distance
from anything ignitable and
Mersman said fire isnt the
only threat.
Carbon Monoxide can also
occur in homes and buildings
when heat sources are not
operating properly or ventilated correctly, he said. Thats
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 11-28-2017 / ARCHIVE PHOTO
another reason why annual
inspections need to be done on
heat sources including whole
house, forced air heating systems.
Mersman said its vitally
important every home should
have working smoke detectors
and carbon monoxide detectors.
The Red Cross lists a number of prevention measures on
its website, including keeping
oven mits, wooden utensils,
food packaging and anything
else that might catch fire away
from your stovetop. Never use
lit candles to decorate a tree,

County, local cities experience
percentage bump in retail sales
By proportion, local
gains lead the region
BY DANE HICKS
Home fire risks increase during the holidays and require extra
safety precautions and inspections by residents.
Management
Director
J.D.
Mersman remembered how
Miller, a local mechanic for many
years, always seemed to be ready
with the right tool for the right job.
I remember he always had this
small set of pliers in his pocket,
Mersman said, and whether we
were on a fire scene or he was
doing mechanic work at his shop,
it seemed like he could fix anything with those pliers.
Lee always had the ability
to stay calm, even during some
major fires, Mersman said. His
demeanor and calmness were reassuring to those firefighters under
him.
That sentiment was echoed by
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA November sales
tax distributions to Anderson
County and local cities showed
solid percentage increases so
far in 2017 as well as month-tomonth comparisons.
The November distributions were from October collections from sales by local
retailers made during the
month of October. Sales tax is
one indicator in assessing the
health of the local retail community, although that analysis
can be skewed in small towns
and areas with comparatively
few retailers because a single
big-ticket retailer can substantially affect the numbers.
Anderson County showed a
year-to-date increase of 5 percent over the same period in
2016, from $499,429 to $524,235
for the year. The countys
increase was 37 percent from
November 2016 to November
2017, from $100,655 to $134,621.
Anderson County has a sales
tax of 1.5 percent on purchases.
Garnetts .5 percent sales
tax garnered a 37 percent
gain for November over the
same month a year ago from
$23,187 to $31,768. The citys
year-to-date numbers through
November were up 3.4 percent
from $117,914 to $121,933.
The City of Kincaids taxable sales also saw substantial percentage increases, up
37 percent month over month
from $397 to $546, with YTD figures up 32 percent from $2,029
to $2,694. Kincaid, population
120, is the only other city in
Anderson County with a city
sales tax besides Garnett.
Figures for the local area
led other cities and counties
in the region by percentage.
Allen County shows a 2.4 percent deficit YTD from $894,302
to $873,229. Franklin Countys
sales taxes climbed .8 percent
YTD from $1.971 million last
year to $1.988 million this year.
Miami County gained 3.5 percent from $2.224 million in
2016 to $2.302 million through
November of this year.
Statewide, Kansas figures
were up 4.1 percent YTD from
$395 million in 2016 to $412 million this year.

up during the hearing by community development director
Susan Wettstein, who told
commissioners placing so
much emphasis on holding
down taxes forced unrealistic
expectations on the rest of city
finance.
I have concerns that if we
keep trying to hold the line
or go less than at some point
were going to use up all of our
utility reserves and well have
no money, Wettstein told commissioners during the budget
hearing. Im not saying you
have to spend a lot of money- I
feel like our utility funds are
subsidizing the municipal side
of our government.
Commissioner Greg Gwin
had previously circulated a
table comparing mill levies
over the past decade among
the City of Garnett, Anderson
County and Unified School
District 365 to show the citys
success at keeping the mill
levy in check. The citys actual
spending continued to increase
over that period however, based
on increases in local property
valuation and transfers from
the citys utility funds.
Gwin noted that a single mill
tax increase built into the budget amounted to a 25 percent
increase over 10 years.
Im proud of this trend,
Gwin said. We dont need to
follow the other guys on the
block and raise taxes so people
cant afford a home.
Wettstein recounted discussions with another city
staffer whose service truck
was deemed unreliable to the
point he didnt like to drive it
out of town. She said that was
the mindset that city employees had developed stretching
resources beyond their capacity to save money.
I feel like as a city employee we keep getting asked to

MILLER…
Fat rats get cancer
Its holiday time with
Thanksgiving this Thursday
and Christmas and New
Years Day just around the
corner. This means all sorts of
good tasting food ham, roast
turkey, bread stuffing, green
beans, cranberry sauce, sweet
potatoes, wine and pumpkin
pie.
What better time than
during this festive period
to give thanks for the most
wholesome food supply in the
world. Yes, Americans enjoy
one of the best food supplies
on this planet not only in
terms of abundance, variety
and cost, but also in terms of
safety.
A closer look at a typical
dinner menu reveals that
Mother Nature and her chemicals will be joining all of us
who partake of the traditional
holiday fare in this country. In
a typical soup-to-nuts holiday
menu, here are some of the
natural chemicals, which in
large quantities could be hazardous to a persons health,
according to the American
Council on Science and Health
(ACSH). Such effects would
occur only if the concentrated
substances were consumed in
excess.
Saying this is not intended to frighten some who are
already chemical phobic. For
centuries, humans have eaten
potentially toxic substances
that occur naturally in food.
The natural and man-made
toxins, carcinogens and mutagens in the U.S. food supply
remain so small they pose
no known health hazard, the
ACSH reports. A toxic dose
of caffeine requires 96 cups of
INSIGHT
JOHN SCHLAGECK, Kansas Farm Bureau
coffee and you would have to
eat 3.8 tons of turkey this holiday season to deliver a toxic
dose of malonaldehyde.
Mushroom soup, for example, contains hydrazines,
which are potent animal carcinogens. A fresh vegetable
tray is chalked full of nitrates.
The main entre, roast turkey
with stuffing and cranberry
sauce, contains heterocyclic
amines and malonaldehyde,
eugenol and furan derivatives, according to the ACSH.
Its way past time for the
American public to stop acting
on the presumption that natural is safe and manmade
is always suspect. While both
can be toxic in excess, present
scientific knowledge indicates
neither natural nor man-made
food chemicals are hazardous
in the quantities we consume
on a daily, monthly or yearly
basis.
Toxins, carcinogens and
mutagens are everywhere in
Mother Natures food supply.
It is unwise to panic over minute levels of man-made chemicals such as the traces of pesticide residues occasionally
detected.
If there is a health problem
ANDERSON
we should be concerned about
during this upcoming holiday
season, it may be overeating.
If you dont watch yourself,
you can gobble down more
than 2,000 calories easily at
one sitting. It doesnt take a
food scientist from ACSH to
tell you youll wind up stuffed
like a turkey if you eat like
that during the holiday season.
As most of us know, excessive eating has been called the
most striking carcinogen
ever discovered in rodent carcinogenicity studies. In other
words, fat rats get cancer.
Remember, when you sit
down at the holiday table this
season, leave that last leg
of turkey or piece of pie for
someone else. You dont have
to eat every last roll on the
plate, and yes, Fido, the family dog, might enjoy those last
three or four spoons of gravy.
Eat moderate quantities of
a wide variety of foods this
holiday season and throughout the entire year. Despite
the presence of Mother
Natures toxins, they are not
dangerous when consumed in
moderation as part of a balanced, varied diet.

others.
He was cool-headed, said
fellow volunteer fireman Gary
Benjamin. He had good organizational skills and he was
always good about following
through with things he said he
was going to do.
One of Millers other passions was his work in the local
American Legion Post. Miller,
a U.S. Air Force veteran, along
with a handful of others, were
credited with revitalizing the
local post after a period in the
early 1980s when membership
dropped and the organization struggled. As Adjutant of
the post for many years and
later under different leadership, Miller worked to recruit
younger members and to raise
the public profile of the organization with various activities.
He was pretty instrumental in getting the Legion revitalized, said local Legion
and VFW activist Clarence
Hermann. They had lost members but they still had their
charter and they were able to
turn it around.
One of those Legion activities close to Millers heart was
the Legion Baseball Program,
3A
REMEMBRANCES
with which he assisted for
many years and eventually
served as State Commissioner
of Baseball, helping run the
organization and arrange local
and regional tournaments.
Baseball was his big thing,
said fellow Legion member
Charlie Foltz. This is what
really got him involved. He
worked hard to get a team
together every year for a number of years.
As a member of the Garnett
Optimist Club, Miller also was
instrumental in the development of additional baseball diamonds on the west side of Lake
Garnett.
Millers local service efforts
and his work in the Legion won
him an invitation and eventual
membership to the exclusive
40 & 8, an invitation-only
elite veterans organization
that promotes the well-being
of veterans and their widows
and orphans, and actively participates in selected charitable
endeavors with a focus on programs that promote child welfare and nurses training.
Services for Miller were
held Saturday, Nov. 25.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, November 28, 2017
OPINION
The price we pay for not growing
How ironic is it that the same week the U.S.
Senate will consider (and then end up fumbling, Im betting) important tax cut legislation for every earner in the country, Garnett
city government is mid-stride in discussion
about the long-standing practice of tapping its
utility reserves to subsidize what would otherwise be property tax-supported government
services?
Im cynical that anything substantial will
come out of Washington as far as tax cuts
go everyones too immersed right now in
their Twitter announcements about some
important, aging white guy patting them on
the bottom 40 years ago. The Democrats hate
the idea of tax cuts because they dont want
the Republicans to take a win into the 2018
elections and half the Republicans hate the
idea because theyre terrified of coming down
on one side or another of an actual decision.
But in Garnett its a different story. The
information has always been there, albeit
in sort of a jumble of budget numbers
but every city commissioner who worked
through a budget workshop in Garnett in the
last 15-20 years has known that the city was
tapping substantial amounts of money from
its utility reserve funds. The objective was
always the same keep the property tax levy
down, so property owners dont complain
and you can do that as long as you have other
revenues with which to subsidize those taxpayers.
Thats a luxury Anderson County, for
instance, doesnt have besides revenues
from farm-out services at the Anderson
County Jail (which help but dont come close
to covering jail costs) Anderson County has
no other major revenue source. The same for
area school districts, if you dont count the
stringy bureaucratic entanglements of various state and federal programs.
So Garnetts unique locally with that ability, and city commissioners over the decades
have taken full advantage of it.
But while weve tried to take it easy on
property owners, weve failed in a broader
objective of developing the town. Keeping
the mill level low has not resulted in a slew
of new building in Garnett since Anderson
County began keeping zoning records in 2000,
its recorded more than 200 construction per-
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
mits for residential homes and other structures in rural areas of the county. The City of
Garnett, on the other hand, has issued only
a handful of permits for new home construction inside the city limits. The number of
homes/business buildings abandoned has far
outpaced the number constructed in the past
25 years.
Carrying that line of thought forward
while those residential properties and their
utility hookups have been falling into ruin
and not being replaced with new home construction, the citys been relying more and
more on utility revenues to supplement the
budget so we can keep property taxes lower.
This is the price we pay for not growing.
Were not alone most small towns in
rural areas arent growing. Most small towns
have the same problems we have trying to
maintain infrastructure and services in a
shrinking local economy and population base
in a way that doesnt financially consume the
people who are left. Theres no shame in it,
but its something that a forward-thinking
community should have a managed plan to
fix. We need a managed, accountable plan
with targeted objectives to attract industry
and home-building/occupying residents we
we want to expand our tax base and replace
abandoned home utility hook-ups with new
ones that serve families.
Thats the element thats been missing
from the discussion on city finances. Unlike
failures in the Congress in Washington, this
isnt one we should accept as a foregone conclusion.

Alabamas Roy Moore is pure Steve Bannon
Roy Moore is the Steve Bannon project in a
nutshell.
For the former Trump operative, the
Alabama Senate candidates tattered credibility is a feature, not a bug. If Moore had
well-considered political and legal views,
good judgment and a sterling reputation, hed
almost by definition be part of the establishment that Bannon so loathes. Since Moore
has none of those things, hes nearly an ideal
representative of the Bannon insurgency.
Events in Alabama make it clear that
Bannons dime-store Leninism — burn everything down, including perhaps the Republican
Senate majority — comes at a considerable
cost. In this enterprise, the truth and standards dont matter. Being anti-establishment
is an escape clause from personal responsibility, and #war means proudly defending the
indefensible.
Its no accident that Bannon ended up
joined at the hip to the one Republican in the
state of Alabama who might be capable of losing a Senate race. Bannon went out of his way
to associate himself with Moore, and to make
the former judge — twice jettisoned from the
states highest court — a poster boy for his style
of politics.
There are two options in terms of Bannons
role in Alabama.
If hes the Svengali he portrays himself as,
hes falling down on the job. It appears Bannon
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
didnt do thorough opposition research on his
own candidate, a standard professional practice, and couldnt prevail on Moore to get his
story straight before talking to the media.
Then theres the option that Bannon is simply a glorified bystander in Alabama, which
is consistent with the fact that Moore would
have almost certainly won the primary with or
without Bannons support. Donald Trump was
Donald Trump long before Bannon showed
up, and, sure enough, hes been Donald Trump
since Bannon left the White House.
Ultimately, Bannon is a barnacle on the
Trump brand, although one that cant get his
story straight. Sometimes he says the Trump
administration is effectively over, in which
case hes implicitly saying that his erstwhile
boss abandoned his voters within a year of
taking office.
Bannon doesnt dare follow this thought
through to its logical conclusion. Instead,
he inveighs against Senate Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell.
Bannons argument that a globalist cabal
has coalesced to thwart Trumps agenda
in Washington is contemptible nonsense.
Obamacare repeal and replace failed in the
Senate, not because McConnell wasnt determined to pass it, but because three Senate
Republicans went their own way despite
McConnells good-faith efforts.
If Moore were in the Senate, hed presumably be a reliable Republican vote like any
other Alabama senator. The only difference
is that he hates McConnell. Is that worth the
reputational risk to the party of being associated with such a compromised figure? If there
is a new Republican Senate leader in the next
Congress, he sure as hell isnt going to be a
bomb thrower (Senate leaders never are). So
whats the point?
Apparently to find an unbelievably checkered collection of Senate candidates, and to
put Senate seats at risk by nominating them,
no matter what their electoral appeal or vulnerabilities. Steve Bannon wants as many Roy
Moores as possible.
Brownbacks lagging appointment forces questions

What happens if by Jan. 8, when the hes just managing the state. If he can come up
with just two or three differences from the outgoing Brownback budget, he has something to
sell to voters, doesnt he?
But the fewer changes he proposes, the
more loudly and believably Democrats can
maintain that Colyer and Brownback have virtually the same policies, and that Kansas voters dont want four more years of Brownbackstyle government. Thats not a bad tack to
take, is it?
What most of us were thinking would be
a relatively quick confirmation, or refusal to
confirmBrownback would have little real
effect on the mechanics of getting through the
upcoming session of the Legislaturehas now
become a little less certain (either way).
If Brownback isnt confirmedand some,
with two Senate seats possibly up in the air, are
looking to Alabamas senatorial election next
month and whatever happens to Minnesota
Democrat Sen. Al Franken as important to
that confirmation votewell, then everything
Brownback might propose loses most of its
gubernatorial-endorsed value.
The result? A legislature that doesnt have
a governor to battle in debate or a legislature
that must come up with its own agenda for
this election year session which is likely to be
more politically attractive than workmanlike.
Makes you wonder what the chatter is
going to be at Kansans Thanksgiving dinnersand whether the person at the head of
the table can order no political talk during
dinner.

Christmas giveaway
The Central Heights Middle School has
celebrated Christmas with their students the
last day of school before Christmas for 20
years. With the economy the way it is some
of our students struggle this time of year. We
try to make sure our students feel appreciated
during the holidays.
What we try to do is create opportunities for
students that would not come their way without this giveaway. We get KU, KSU, Chiefs,
and concert tickets for the giveaway. Last year
we had a supporter charter a bus to KSU for
our students to attend the KU vs. KSU basketball game.
We receive donations from businesses and
community members in our district.
Some of the other items we purchase are
shoes, winter coats, sports apparel and many
other items.
People ask why we have our giveaway. I
enjoy the look on some of our students faces
when they get an opportunity to attend some
activity that wouldnt come their way without
our giveaway. I like that the students leave
school with a positive feeling.
In the past, weve had students say this is
the only gift they receive for Christmas. Ive
had alumni tell me this is the only time theyve
ever been to a Chiefs, KU, or KSU game. If you
would like to help in our giveaway contact

that has supported us.

The Chamber Players latest offering,
Authors Anonymous opens Nov. 30
You cant judge a book by
its cover. But can you judge its
author? The Chamber Players
latest offering, Authors
Anonymous, says Maybe.
The second installment of
their 27th dinner theatre season runs November 30 Dec.
3 & Dec. 7-10 at the Thelma
Moore Community Playhouse
in Garnett.
Dennis Richards (Greeley)
directs the comedy by Carl L.
Williams. It won the Robert
J. Pickering Award for
Playwriting Excellence in 2006,
the same year that the Chamber
Players produced the playwrights When Bullfrogs Sing
Opera. The show is sponsored
by Brummel Farm Service,
Miller Hardware, Rockers
Photography and is a beneficiary of the City of Garnetts
tourism fund.
Doris Downweaver (Shanna
Richards, Greeley) is a reclusive heiress who loves to read
and who has a soft spot for
struggling writers. She invites
four of them to her home for a
weekend competition to determine which of them has what it
takes to earn a $100,000 grant to
boost their careers. Her assistant Meredith (Jeri Troyer,
Garnett) coordinates the details
and recruits Times literary
critic Porter Rembert (Jordan
Garcia, Iola) to assist in the
evaluations.
Roscoe Drake (Les Thomas,
Garnett) is first to arrive. He
writes crime novels reminiscent of Mickey Spillane. It
appears that he lives the character, too, arriving with a swagger and a hardboiled chip on his
shoulder. Hell compete with
a buttoned-down, no-nonsense
mystery writer, T.Y. Myers
(Katy Holloran, Garnett);
Crandall (Dave Schwarzer,
Garnett), writer of high-brow,
fine literature that no one
reads; and Charlotte Ascot
(Cindy McCullough, Ottawa),
whose steamy romance novels
seem to have been pulled from
her own experience.
But everyone here is hiding something that, if revealed,
could mean winning or losing
– $100,000. No one here neither
the host judges nor the competitors are who they say. One
thing is certain, however: Their
secrets are far more entertaining than their fiction!
Dinner Theatre tickets are $24
for adults, $20 for K-12 students.

Nov. 30-Dec. 2 & Dec. 7-8 and

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, November 28, 2017
Rick and Peggy Tholen chosen as Honorary
Grand Marshalls of 2017 Christmas Parade
BY KYLE AND CARA THOLEN
Rick and Peggy Tholen
have become well known in
the Garnett community over
the 43 years they have called
Garnett home.
They have
both recently passed away,
however, the Garnett Chamber
of Commerce has chosen to
honor them as the Honorary
Grand Marshalls of the 2017
Christmas Parade.
Rick and Peggy both grew
up in Allen County Kansas.
Rick was raised outside of
Moran and began helping on
the farm at an early age. He
was driving a tractor at age
7 when he had to use both
feet to jump on the clutch to
shift gears. He was the oldest of four brothers and two
sisters. Peggy was the second
of 3 sisters and 1 brother and
was raised in Iola. She and her
siblings spent much of their
time on their aunt and uncles
farm and working on their 4-H
projects.
Rick and Peggy first met
in second grade when Rick
and other children from the
public schools spent a week at
St. Johns School with Peggys
class undergoing catechism
lessons as they all prepared to
receive their first communion.
They liked each other even
then, as Peggy gave Rick a ring
made out of dandelions at the
end of the week. They reconnected after high school at a
church Thanksgiving dinner
and began dating a few months
before Rick left for basic training. They continued a long distance relationship while Rick
was in the Navy and Peggy
was still in college in Kansas.
Rick proposed to Peggy in a
letter and they were married
the next year shortly after she
graduated from Kansas State
Teachers College, Emporia,
Kansas. Peggy was the first
in her family to graduate from
college. After their wedding
they lived for a year in Rota,
Spain, where Rick was stationed. They liked to refer to
that year as their year-long
honeymoon. They traveled
through Europe after Rick was
discharged from the Navy.
That trip was the only time
Rick was able to get Peggy to
camp with him.
When they returned to the
U.S. in 1973 they settled on
a rented farm just south of
Garnett where Rick farmed
and began working as an
apprentice plumber. Peggy
took a position teaching math
at Garnett High School and
began her long career as an
algebra and calculus teacher.
Not long after, they began their
family when their daughters
Kyle and Kara were born in
1976 and 1981. They launched
their business, Plumbing and
Heating Unlimited, together in
1982. They sank deeper roots
in Garnett when they bought
their home on west Fourth
Street. Here they continued to
raise their family, grow their
business and increase their
involvement in the Garnett
community.
Peggy was a woman of
many talents and wore many
different hats in our community. She invested a great deal
of her energies in the youth
of Garnett. If you grew up in
Garnett in the 80s and 90s it
is likely that Peggy was either
your 4-H Club Leader, softball
coach, bible school teacher or
possibly all three. She was the
KAY Club and National Honor
Society Sponsor, the Scholars
Bowl Coach, and taught thousands of students math at
Garnett/Anderson County
High School. She earned local
fame for her creativity. Most
people who had her as a teacher still remember how to sing
the square of the hypotenuse,
the quadratic equation, and
the distance formula, and
these songs likely helped them
get through college algebra
or even calculus. Former students may also remember that
if you got a note from the office
while in her class, she would
give you a singing telegram.
Also, if you answered a question correctly you may have
been the recipient of a worthless prize. She liked to tell
about how when the principal
audited her class one year, he
told her that it was the first
time he had seen sarcasm used
as an effective teaching tool.
She truly enjoyed teaching.
She always made time for students who asked for help, even
after she retired she continued to tutor any student who
asked. For many years she
and her good friend Phyllis
Cobbs kept score for JV football games together, were volleyball referees, and held an
annual football caravan to an
away game where everyone
got a chance to win fantastic
prizes.
Peggy was the person you
went to if you needed to think
of a clever team name, set anything to music, come up with
games for a birthday party, or
skits for homecoming. Faculty
homecoming skits were where
her wit and humor were truly
showcased.
Peggy loved to sing and play
her guitar. She led the sing-
4B
CLASSIFIEDS
ing at Mass and sang in the
choir for Holy Angels Catholic
Church for many years.
Peggy was also a very supportive wife and business
partner for Rick. They spent
endless hours writing up statements, paying bills and placing orders. They both worked
very hard to make Plumbing
and Heating Unlimited a success. Plumbing and Heating
Unlimited was a fixture of the
community for 35 years. Rick
used their business to do what
he loved doing more than anything else, helping others.
Rick grew up in a family
where everyone pitched in.
The whole family would come
together to work on different
projects. When his parents
house burned down, the family came together to help build
the new house. When Rick
re-roofed his own house, the
family showed up to help. Rick
embodied this spirit and if
someone needed help, he was
always there.
He would always fix peoples heat, water, or A/C even
if he knew they didnt have
enough money to pay for it. It
didnt matter the day. If someone needed their furnace fixed
and he was available, he would
show up to try to get their
heat back on. He was the definition of leading by example.
His faith helped to shape his
core values. He treated others
how he wished to be treated.
He was always active in the
Catholic Church, and even
attended seminary for a while
before joining the Navy. Later
in life, he became a Eucharistic
minister and helped to install
and maintain the HVAC systems and plumbing in Holy
Angels Church and School. As
his daughters Kyle and Kara
got older, they both spent time
working with Rick, shoveling
gravel, plumbing houses, and
cabling sewers. They learned
first-hand how hard it was
to squeeze into a crawl space
beneath a house and install
ductwork when you couldnt
even turn over or turn around;
or spend hours in an attic in
the summer. He taught them
how to plumb houses, solder
pipes, and service air conditioners; but most importantly
he taught them the importance
of hard work, determination
and of taking pride in your
work.
Rick and Peggy were loving and supporting parents.
They were both very involved
in their daughters activities.
They helped them with 4-H
projects, coached and sponsored their softball teams,
showed up to watch every
sports game, play, musical,
and singing competition. They
took time to attend parents
weekends at college, helped
with DIY home improvement
projects and were there when
each grandchild entered the
world. While Kyle and Kara
were hiking the Appalachian
trail Peggy sent care packages
to post offices along the trail
and Rick hiked over 200 miles
with his daughters.
Rick and Peggy loved each
other very much and their
relationship was a truly beautiful love story. They respected, supported and cared for
each other. Peggy cared for
Rick as he recovered from a
stroke in 2005. She would go
with him on calls, armed with
a lawn chair, and make him
takes breaks when she saw
that he needed rest. She was
also able to help him with electrical wiring before the dexterity returned to his hand. Most
recently Rick spent the majority of his time caring for Peggy
as her health declined due to
multiple systems atrophy. He
was so patient with her, allowing her to do as much as she
could by herself. Peggy never
complained and tried her best
to keep doing the things she
loved and always wanted to
feel useful and helpful. Rick
always tried to stay upbeat
even at the end. He would wake
her by saying Good morning,
Lover! He would kiss her and
stroke her hair. Losing Peggy
to multiple systems atrophy
truly broke Ricks heart. Peggy
passed away on December 31st
2016. Rick followed her shortly
when he unexpectedly suffered
a lethal brain hemorrhage
March 7th, 2017. We all could
see the love that they had for
each other and couldnt help
but wish for same kind of love
in our own lives.
While Rick and Peggy gave
so very much of themselves to
the Garnett community, they
were blessed beyond measure
when they chose Garnett as
their home. When they needed help, especially over the
past few years, the community
showed up in force.
Many
friends stepped in to help:
cleaning house, driving Peggy
places, bringing food, mowing the lawn, shoveling snow,
and just being there. These
actions are a testament to the
kindness, love and support
that lives in this community. Calling Garnett home is a
blessing we can all be thankful
for.

New tool is available to farmers to help
understand when temperature inversions occur
usually happen at night or
on cloudy days, the risk that
dicamba can drift onto nearby
fields and damage other crops
is heightened.
The new information is available on the Kansas Mesonet
website. Kansas Mesonet is
a network of 58 weather stations situated around the state,
which measure such weather
this photo.
Inversions can form very
rapidly. You could look at it
and it will change five minutes later. Its the weather in
Kansas, its always changing.
The weather stations measure the temperature at 6 feet
and 30 feet from the ground,
which helps develop a vertical
view of the lower atmosphere,
where these surface inversions
occur. The Mesonet aims to
also develop a climatology of
frequency, depth, occurrence
and what kind of weather scenarios come together to develop inversions.
What were finding is that
temperature inversions often
develop one to two hours
before sunset. They are often
strongest just after sunset, persisting throughout the night
varying in strength. Typically,
surface inversions disperse
an hour or two after sunrise,
when the sun begins to warm
the surface, Redmond added.
He encourages producers
to start monitoring inversions
in their area to obtain a feel
for dominant wind directions
under inversions. If the air
were completely still, there
wouldnt be a problem, but
winds average 2 to 4 miles per
hour in an inversion those
winds can transport the herbicide spray molecules a fairly
long distance.
This tool can help with
determining dominant wind
flows in your area under an
inversion, which may provide
some indication where drifting
could occur, Redmond said.

or
parameters as temperature,
wind speed, precipitation and
humidity. The data is recorded
at the Kansas Weather Data
Library, based at K-State.
That (temperature inversion) typically develops due to
the lack of soil radiation. As
soon as you lose that sunshine
in the afternoon or if it gets
cloudy, the surface starts to
cool off, Redmond said.
In response to the dicamba problem, Redmond and
K-State agronomy professors
Dallas Peterson and Curtis
Thompson developed the tool
which Redmond said should be
used to determine trends in
particular areas rather than as
a decision-making tool regarding exactly when or when not
to spray.
Application of the new
dicamba products approved for
use on Xtend soybeans and cotton is prohibited during temperature inversions, Peterson
said.
Unfortunately, many folks
arent that familiar with temperature inversions and intuitively think that when the wind
dies down in the evening or
early morning, that is the best
time to spray, Redmond said.
However, if they spray during
a temperature inversion, there
actually may be much greater risk of off-target herbicide
injury than when there is a 3
to 10 mile-per-hour wind blowing away from the direction
of susceptible crops and species. Its (inversion data) not
something to look at and say
theres an inversion in place
so I shouldnt spray right now
or that theres not an inversion
in place so I can spray.

MANHATTAN, Kan.
Kansas State University is
offering a new tool to help
farmers assess when temperature inversions occur in their
region. The information can
be useful in assessing the risk
for herbicide drift when applying products such as dicamba, an herbicide used to kill
weeds in genetically modified
soybean and cotton
crops. Accidental drift
of dicamba into neighboring fields damaged
millions of acres of
crops this year.
According to a Nov.
1, 2017, Environmental
Protection
Agency
report, more than
3.6 million acres of
soybeans,
including 100,000 acres in
Kansas were damaged
by dicamba this year.
Other crops including tomatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe,
vegetables, plus trees
and shrubs were also
adversely affected. The
EPA listed temperature inversion as a
factor that contributes
to the unintentional
spread of dicamba into
areas that werent targeted.
Temperature inversion is a weather phenomenon in which the
air at the earths surface is
cooler than the air above it
a situation different than the
norm, said Christopher Chip

30 years ago: A man dies by a single
gunshot wound at a Greeley residence
10 years ago…
Criminal charges were filed
last week against a Garnett
woman stemming from a car
crash that killed an Ottawa
woman north of Garnett last
July. Lisa Brummel, 42 of
Garnett, has been charged
with involuntary manslaughter, aggravated battery, passing on the left with insufficient
clearance, and basic rule governing the speed of vehicles.
Northbound on Highway 59,
Brummel tried to pass a pickup
driven by Alvin Dennison, 69
of Garnett, that had slowed and
was attempting to turn off the
highway. Brummel struck the
drivers side rear of Dennisons
truck then struck a southbound
vehicle head on that was driven by Mendi Lavender, 34 of
Ottawa.
20 years ago…
A rural Greeley couple was
killed late Tuesday night when
the pickup in which they were
riding overturned in a wet
weather creek north of Scipio.
76-year-old Lawrence Seifert
and his 71-year-old wife Betty
died sometime between 6 p.m.
and midnight Tuesday, when
their eastbound pickup truck
went off the road near a small
bridge. The truck apparently
traveled some distance in the

the plan now being considered
THAT WAS THEN
by the Kansas legislature, the
federal plan would have much
the same effect. Both would do
away with arrests and jail sentences while reducing fines for
possessing one ounce or less of
pot. The Kansas plan calls for a
maximum $100 fine for possessing up to one ounce on the first
two violations, called unclassified misdemeanors. After that,
youre back in the old system,
with a maximum penalty of a
year in jail and a $2,500 fine.

The other day the road master on the eastern division of
the Union Pacific Railroad, was
accidentally killed by a cook on
a troop train who threw a bone
from the train just as it passed
the road master and a number
of other men who stood near
the track. Weve read of the
man who slew thousands with
the jaw bone of an ass, but this
is the first time weve read of
a man being killed by a soup
bone. It might not be a bad idea
to equip the allied armies with
soup bones.

BBB – Wise Giving
Alliance urges donors to
research before giving
November 27, 2017Each
year, American charities
receive one-third of their
annual donations during the
holiday giving season. With
Dec. 1 marking this years
#GivingTuesday, BBB Wise
Giving Alliance (http://www.
give.org/) (BBB WGA) urges
donors to research charities
before giving to ensure their
generous contributions are
going to trustworthy organizations.
The evaluations we provide give donors insight into
charity
trustworthiness,
helping them make wiser giving decisions, remarks Art
Taylor, president and CEO
of BBB WGA. Holiday donations can make a real impact.
Therefore, its critical that
donors hard-earned dollars go
to charities that operate ethically.
BBB WGA is sharing five
tips to help donors give wisely
and make the most of their
generosity this holiday season.
Watch out for name similarities. When charities seek
support for the same cause,
their names are often similar.
Before you give, be sure you
have the exact name of the
charity to avoid a case of mistaken identity.
Avoid on-the-spot donation decisions from unfamiliar organizations. The holidays bring a higher frequency
of donation requests outside
public locations. Dont succumb to pressure to make an
immediate giving decision.
Responsible organizations
will welcome your gift tomorrow as much as they do today.
Be wary of emotional
appeals. Marketers have been
known to exploit the holidays
to make emotional pleas to
donors. Always research to
verify that your selected charity operates ethically.
Avoid charities that dont
disclose. Although participation is voluntary, charities
that dont disclose any of the
requested information to BBB
WGA raise a critical red flag
for donors. Visit Give.org to
find out if your selected charity is nondisclosure.
Rely on standards-based
evaluations. Charities can
demonstrate they are trustworthy by agreeing to in-depth
evaluations such as the 20
BBB Standards for Charity
Accountability. Get free
access to charity reports at
Give.org (http://give.org/) .
#GivingTuesday
celebrates the generosity of people around the world during
the holiday season, says
Henry Timms, co-founder of
#GivingTuesday and executive director of 92nd Street
Y, where the movement was
born. To make sure this
generosity has the greatest
impact, we hope donors take
time to evaluate charities
before donating.

In the 35 seconds it takes to
sing one verse of Jingle Bells, 170
patients will need blood!
Holiday schedules and travels plans make it more challenging for regular donors to
give. And many businesses and
organizations postpone holding
blood drives during the holiday
season. Unfortunately, patients
dont get a holiday from needing
blood. The need for volunteer
donors is CONSTANT and the
gratification INSTANT!
Make an appointment today
to donate blood at the American
Red Cross Garnett Leaders Save
Lives Blood Drive on Tuesday,
Dec. 19 from 10 am 3 pm,
Anderson County Community
Building,709 N. Lake Rd.
Garnett, Kan. 66032
This is a Leaders Save Lives
Blood Drive (LSL) organized by
Garnett High School graduate
and Emporia State University
Bailee Wilson. Wilsons goal is to
collect 25 units of blood.
LSL is a program for students wanting to help save lives
with the American Red Cross.
By hosting a blood drive while
school is out of session, students
have the opportunity to win a
scholarship, gain a meaningful
leadership experience, receive a
gift card award and the accomplishment of helping ensure a
reliable blood supply.
We hope donors take the time
to show Garnetts spirit of giving
while also helping Wilson further her education. She is hoping to collect 25 donations at this
drive. Appointments are still
available, walk-ins are welcome.
To schedule your life-saving
holiday blood donation, simply
download the Red Cross Blood
Donor App, visit redcrossblood.
org or call 1-800-RED-CROSS.
All blood types are needed
to ensure a reliable supply for
patients. A blood donor card
or drivers license or two other
forms of identification are
required at check-in. Individuals
who are 17 years of age (16 with
parental consent), weigh at least
110 pounds and are in generally
good health may be eligible to
donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years
of age and younger also have to
meet certain height and weight
requirements.
Voting begins for
2017 FSA county
committee elections
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) began
mailing ballots to eligible
farmers and ranchers across
the country for the 2017 Farm
Service Agency (FSA) county committee elections on
Monday, Nov. 6, 2017.
County committee members play an indispensable role
in our efforts to provide assistance to producers, said FSA
Acting Administrator Steve
Peterson. They provide local
input as decisions are made
about the services we provide,
including disaster and emergency programs. I strongly
encourage all eligible producers to cast a vote for a candidate that brings expertise and
a diverse perspective to their
local committee.
To ensure their votes are
counted, producers must
return ballots to their local FSA
offices by Dec. 4, 2017. Nearly
7,700 FSA county committee
members serve FSA offices
nationwide. Each committee
has three to eleven elected
members who serve three-year
terms of office. One-third of
county committee seats are up
for election each year. County
committee members apply
their knowledge and judgment
to help FSA make important
decisions on its commodity
support programs, conservation programs, indemnity and

elected committee members
will take office Jan. 1, 2018.
