Fund set up for man who
lost arm in farm mishap
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A financial assistance
effort has been initiated for a local
farmer who lost a portion of his left
arm in a combine accident Oct. 28 as
he was harvesting soybeans northwest of Garnett.
Leslie Keim, 43, had pulled his
combine into the driveway near
his shop building to oil its drive
chain when his coat apparently was
snagged by the running machine
and his arm pulled into its works,
according to family friend Devon
Yoder. The accident severed his
left arm below the elbow, and he
received a laceration near his right
shoulder which Yoder said may
have been caused by Keims clothing
as part of it was torn from his body.
The accident occurred on Keims
property about 8 miles northwest of
Garnett off Kansas Highway 31.
Yoder said Saturday Keim had
been released from a Kansas Cityarea hospital and that doctors
believed his left elbow was relatively uninjured and would be functional. He said family and neighbors
finished Keims bean harvest and
planted his wheat crop for him.

Officials, parents address
shooter threat at ACHS
Police say threat was
exagerated by rumor,
parents say fear justified
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Garnett police say the
threats of a school shooting that
kept some Anderson County High
School kids home from classes on
Wednesday were nothing more than
an inappropriate joke run amok in
the student rumor mill. But nervewracked parents say theyre concerned they didnt get enough infor-
mation to be convinced of their kids
safety.
School officials circulated an
electronic message to some parents
after school on October 25 that a
student may have made a statement to other students that could/
was perceived as a threat.The message went on to say the incident was
being taken very seriouslyand had
been investigated by school administration, and that disciplinary action
would be taken. It also assured parents the situation was being handled
thoroughly and efficientlyand that
officials believed the campus to be
safe and secure.
School officials did not reply to
emails from the Review last week
asking for more details.
Garnett Police Chief Kurt King
confirmed the department was notified regarding the incident, which
he said involved a student threatening to bring a gun to school and
asserting the individual planned to
instigate a school shooting.
King said the departments investigation determined the threats were
made as a joke, but the comments
were exacerbated by other students
at school and interpreted as a legitimate threat. A family member of

Local dispatch now
geared for 911 texts
ACSO launches
service for cases when
voice calls dont work
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Call if you can,
text if you cant, is the message the Anderson County
Sheriffs Department is trying
to get across to local residents
in announcing that local emergency dispatchers can now
receive texted 911 calls.
To text 911, just punch in
911 in the phone number field
of your phones texting application, where you would normally place a saved contact or
a phone number youre texting to. The ACSO, which runs
local emergency dispatch for
police, fire, weather and medical responders, unveiled the
new service in a press release
Nov. 1.
The release said the service
is available with cell phone
plans from AT&T, Sprint,
T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, US
Cellular and other cell phone
plans. Text-To-911 might not be
available outside of Anderson
County. If a text is sent in
those areas, a message will be
returned informing the texter
to make a voice call.
The service fills a need in
events in which callers are
unable to make a voice call or
where voice calls might threaten their safety. Examples are
in cases involving deaf or hardof-hearing callers, a caller who
cant speak due to a medical or
other condition or emergency
situations what would put the
caller at risk such as abductions, domestic violence or

County.
Corn has hit as high as 150
bushels per acre and beans as
high as 65 bushels per acre,
said Schaub. Its been a really, really good year. Weve had
a lot of good moisture and that
has helped a lot.
That moisture seems to have
missed some of the southern
and western areas of Anderson
county though, according to
Schaub. In the south and west
there seems to be a bit of a
drop off, he said. Those areas
are getting around 80-85 bushels per acre for corn and 30-40
bushels per acre for beans, but
thats still average.
Mechnig says at Valley R
hes seen and heard farmers
talk about 45-50 bushels an
acre for beans, and around 120125 bushels per acre for corn.
Average prices for beans has
been getting close to $9.00 per
bushel with the most recent
reports showing $8.92 per
bushel. Reports show that corn
is selling for $3.03 per bushel
on average.
really, really

Great crop year yields
corn at 150 bushel per
acre in some locations
BY MELISSA HOBBS THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY The optimism that
many local farmers held for
this years corn and soybean
harvest appears to be coming
to fruition, with corn yields as
high as 150 bushel per acre and
soybeans as high as 65 in this
falls harvest.
Ample rains in most parts
of Anderson County led to
fears too much moisture might
cause problems for this years
crop. Some 30,000 acres of land
are planted to corn and roughly 75,000 acres planted to soybeans each year in Anderson
County making harvest a busy
time of year for area farmers
and the elevators that buy,
store, resell and ship those
crops.
Id say were about 95
percent done with beans and
about 98 percent done with
corn, said Jim Mechnig, manager at Valley R Agri Service.
Mechnig says that this years
harvest has been pretty good
for around here for both corn
and soybeans.
The average production
for corn in most of Anderson
county is approximately 80-100
bushels per acre according to
Anderson County Research &
Extension Agent Ryan Schaub,
with most harvests coming in
at the mid 80s level. Soybeans
tend to average in the mid 40s
per acre.
Health insurance may
be one way city, county
can combine to save $
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Garnett and
Anderson County commissioners last week discussed the
possibility of grouping local
public employees under one
umbrella to try to bring down
the ever-increasing costs of
health insurance.
The topic was broached by
Garnett City Manager Chris
Weiner during an Oct. 30 meeting of the governmental commissions for both Anderson
County and Garnett and other
key officials and personnel.
The joint meetings are held
periodically to give county
and city of Garnett officials a
chance to coordinate on issues
and projects of mutual concern.
Health insurance as part
of employee benefit packages
has been a particular issue
for city and county governments for more than a decade,
with both jurisdictions seeing
sharp increases in various
years. Anderson County just
weeks ago opened a health
care savings account and made
the savings plan optional for
employees who wanted to take
advantage of it, after the latest
round of health carrier plan
premium hikes.
The discussion was a breakout from a broader topic
Weiner introduced, which
proposed broadening the occasional city/county meetings
to include school districts
and other taxing entities to
bring in more players in local
decision making and also network with additional possible
resources. Weiner said the
group could explore a direct
healthcare alliance with
Anderson County Hospital, for
instance, as a means to benefit both the hospital and local
public employees.
Maybe there are ways that
we can all work together,
Weiner said. You know how
can we keep costs down for all
of us?
First District Anderson
County Commissioner Les
McGhee said commissioners
had previously figured the premium for one of the countys
health plan offerings came out
to about $6 per hour cost on
an employees pay period. The
discussion centered around
the possibility of getting lower
health insurance rates if the
city, county and possibly
school district could group
their employees into a single
plan.

for the department. Lester received
a road permit from Kansas Fiber Net

The
Department
of
Veterans Affairs (VA) recently announced that it will
launch the Rapid Appeals
Modernization Program, or
RAMP, with the goal of providing Veterans with the earliest possible resolution of their
disagreement with VAs decision on their benefit claims.
RAMP will provide expanded opportunities for Veterans
to enter the new, more efficient claims review process
outlined in the Veterans
Appeals Improvement and
Modernization Act of 2017,
which was signed into law by
President Donald J. Trump on
Aug. 23.
At its core, VAs mission
is to provide Veterans with
the highest quality of service, said VA Secretary Dr.
David J. Shulkin. The new
process under the RAMP initiative reflects major steps in
not only VAs effort of continuous improvement, but also in
providing greater choice for
Veterans and their families.
VA began its 18-month
implementation of the new process immediately after the bill
became law.
By February 2019, all
requests for review of VA decisions will be processed under
the new, multi-lane process.
VAs legacy appeals process
was slow and complex. The
new law streamlines the process and includes safeguards
ensuring claimants receive the
earliest effective date possible
for their claims.

Farmers and ranchers and
their families are particularly at risk for work-related
accidents because many live
at the same places they work.
Information from Kansas
State Universitys Biological
and Agricultural Engineering
department said seven Kansans
died in farm-related accidents
in 2014, and some 700 farmers
and ranchers die each year in
work-related accidents nationwide. Another 120,000 ag workers suffer disabling injuries
from work-related accidents,
and an estimated 104 children
are killed annually in farm
accidents nationwide.
Sources say tractor rollovers
cause the most farm fatalities.

can expect to receive a review
of VAs initial decision on their
claim faster in RAMP than in
the legacy appeals process.
The initiative allows participants to have their decisions
reviewed in the Higher-Level
or Supplemental Claim review
lanes outlined in the law.
The reviewer can overturn
previous decisions based on a
difference of opinion, or return
it for correction. Participants
who select the Supplemental
Claim Lane may submit new
evidence and may receive VAs
assistance in developing evidence in support of their claim.
Veterans who disagree with
the decisions they receive in
RAMP can appeal to the Board
of Veterans Appeals in the new
process and have their appeal
decided by the Board when the
new law becomes effective in
February 2019. Veterans who
participate in RAMP will not
be able to return to the legacy
appeals process.
VA encourages eligible
Veterans with pending appeals
to participate in RAMP and the
benefits of the new review process. VA will begin sending eligible Veterans an invitation to
participate in early November
and continue the program until
February 2019.
VA will continue working with Congress, Veterans
Service Organizations and
other Veteran advocates to
implement the new appeals
process over the next several months as VA continues to
make bold, positive change on
behalf of Veterans, their families and survivors.

Miller
17, 1925, in
Richmond,
Kansas, the
daughter of Christopher and
Elizabeth (Pickert) Hermreck.
She grew up in the Richmond
area and attended West Scipio
School.
Eileen married Clyde V.
Miller on February 3, 1945, in
Bastrop, Texas. This union was
blessed with two children, Ron

Eileens life was a dedication of hard work and being
there for others. She worked at
the sewing factory in Garnett
for many years. She was also
a member of Holy Angels
Church and Altar Society.
Most importantly she was a
homemaker and farmers wife,
which meant many hours of
hard work inside as well as
outside. Her greatest joy was
her family. Spending time with
her kids and grandkids were
her favorite times. She always
made complete meals with
homemade rolls and pies look
easy. She was there for anyone,
family and friends, to lend a
helping hand and to be a comfort. She never thought about
herself.
She was preceded in death
by her parents, Christopher
and Elizabeth Hermreck; her
husband, Clyde Miller on
September 27, 2008; her son,
Ron Miller on April 2, 2011; four
brothers, Mike, Don, Conrad,

Kansas gas prices jump last week
TOPEKA, Kan. Nov. 6, 2017
The average gasoline price in
Kansas rose seven cents per gallon this week to $2.40, according
to AAA Kansas. Among other
factors, the recent price increases at the pump are being driven,
both locally and nationally, by
more motorists out on the roads,
enjoying favorable fall weather.
October has seen strong
demand numbers across the
country and here in Kansas,
likely, in part, due to consumers taking advantage of the relatively nice and warm weather rather than spending time
indoors, said Shawn Steward
AAA Kansas spokesman. As
consumers fill up their tanks
more frequently, we are seeing
supply levels tighten and gas
prices increase. However, we
dont expect this increase to be
long-term.

What will it take for us to find the faith required?
In Mark 5:21-43; we read
the account of Jesus interacting with two individuals. One directly, who had
made a request of him and
one who merely wanted to
touch his garment for healing. The man who came to
Jesus with the request said
to him, My little daughter is
dying. Please come and put
your hands on her so that she
will be healed and live. We
are told in the narrative Jesus
got up and went with him, and
so did his disciples along with
the crowd of people.
As he went on his way a
woman who had suffered from
uncontrolled bleeding for twelve
years joined the large crowd.
Since she could find no help and
continued to get worse she had
sought Jesus out and thought,
If I just touch his clothes I will
be healed. When she touched
his cloak she was immediately
freed from her suffering. At
the same moment she touched
Jesus and was healed Jesus
turned around to the crowd and
ask, Who touched my clothes?

Garnett needs to throw a party
Garnett City Manager Chris Weiner struck
on a grand idea last week when he proposed the
idea of uniting with county government and
with the local school district to meet occasionally to investigate problems and opportunities of
mutual consequence, but his suggestion doesnt
go quite far enough.
It needs to be a bigger party.
Its a plan that only sounds unique because
its been so long since the idea was broached
here. But 28 years ago the city, county and
school district along with local businesses,
churches and civic groups came together to
coordinate for civic improvement that really
worked.
At least, for a while.
Business and government veterans in
Garnett will remember the CITYMARK conference in Garnett back in 1989. It featured Howard
McHenry, a car dealer-turned community development activist from Harrisonville, Mo., along
with Bill Grigsby The Voice of the Kansas
City Chiefs from another
era; and Del Morgano, an
industrial plant locator from
Chicago. Together, they
were a three-man Come To
Jesus team, swooping into
small towns that wanted to
rise above what they were
and preserve what they had
left. CITYMARK delivered a Sermon On The
Mount that every struggling town needs to hear
from someone from the outside not tainted by
local prejudices and offering criticism in the
realm of constructive planning.
Their approach was pretty simple: 1) Give an
outsiders perspective on the towns appearance,
because appearance reveals what level of pride
communities have and also is a primary selling
point to new residents or businesses, good or
bad; 2) identify the best leaders in the town as
selected by the rest of those attending the conference, and 3) come up with a short list of projects
needed immediately on which the town can
focus to win some quick, motivational success.
The plan worked. Garnett business and government leaders worked in tandem to clean
up eyesore properties and formed a four-man
sales team which became our lead recruiters for new industries and business interests.
The private committee members elected by the
broader conference became the decision makers
for the communitys overall development effort,
utilizing network connections to civic groups,

churches, Boy Scout troops you name it to
make positive things happen.
How did it all go south?
Money was always an issue, and as the committee found itself begging for funds from government, the city and county wanted more and
more authority. Pretty soon membership and vacancy appointments
to the committee started being
made not with effective leadership
in mind, but instead with the idea
of representing certain communities or interests. We fell to the
idea of hiring a series of executive
directors because the volunteers
became less and less effective and motivated
which meant we lost the drive and initiative we
got from a corps of people with true skin in the
game. From there, things pretty much fizzled.
Happily in its absence some new efforts
sprang up, like the effort that built the EKAE
ethanol plant, the Cornstock Festival and more
recently the Lake Garnett Grand Prix Revival.
But weve been hard pressed to create significant jobs, and weve lost more than weve gained
in that 28 year period as local companies have
failed or moved. Now, more than half our countys workforce commutes outside the county for
employment.
Its time we used Weiners idea and convened
a major community meeting of local leadership
in government, schools and the private sector
with an eye toward a hard-ball assessment of
our communitys successes and failures, as well
as a tick list of projects to be approached by an
extra-governmental effort.
It worked once, it can work again. Its time to
throw the party.
Together, they were
a three-man Come
To Jesus team…

Like it or not, Trump is GOP mainstream
The showdown between President Donald
Trump and Sen. Jeff Flake turned out to be no
contest. It wasnt Trump who was out of the
GOP mainstream, but Flake.
The Arizona senator supported Gang of
Eight-style immigration reform, when immigration restriction is becoming a litmus-test
issue in the party. He is a Goldwaterite, libertarian-inflected conservative, when the market for libertarianism within the party is
limited and diminishing by the day.
He is frankly anti-Trump, when Trump
owns the party. Many Republican voters are
fully aware of the presidents flaws, but they
dont want to hear about them constantly from
Republican officeholders.
Flakes criticisms of the president were
honest, sincere and principled. If hes not a
finalist for a Profile in Courage Award, the
John F. Kennedy Library Foundation is falling down on the job.
They also were malpractice. The most likely outcome was to make it more difficult to
defeat the Trumpite insurgent Kelli Ward in
a primary next year, which one would have
thought was a paramount political goal.
Worse, Flake apparently rendered himself
unelectable. Perhaps he considered speaking
out more important than serving, a personal
choice that no one can gainsay. But if the
party isnt going to be overrun by Trump sycophants, it will need working politicians who
are willing and able to better navigate these
waters.
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
There are a few, more sensible approaches
in the Senate.
Theres the Ben Sasse model — speak your
mind without fear or favor, knowing that
you arent facing a tough primary in a matter
of months and, if you decide to run again, it
wont be until 2020, when the mood might have
shifted.
Theres the Mitch McConnell model — hold
your cards as close to the vest as possible and
try to keep things from running completely off
the rails so the partys congressional majorities arent destroyed.
Theres the Lindsey Graham model — criticize Trump when hes wrong and never abase
yourself in his defense, but develop a relationship with the president to maximize your
intensify the Republican civil war rather than
end it.
Its also a mistake to treat the Trump phenomenon as a fluke from which Republicans
need learn no lessons. Establishment
Republicans seem to believe Trumps rise
says more about the inadequacies of their voters than about the inadequacies of their own,
shopworn politics.
The great advantage Trump has in
Republican politics is that hes a Republican
president, and partisanship is an awesome
political force. So is the cult of personality
that inheres in the presidency, augmented
by Trumps celebrity. He has the right enemies, and his culture-war fights coupled with
his traditional GOP legislative agenda offer
something for everyone in the party, from the
populists to the Chamber of Commerce.
All of this means that, until further notice,
he occupies the commanding heights of the
GOP. Full-frontal assaults may be bold and
brave, but they will likely be ineffectual, if not
wholly counterproductive.

The National Review
Brownback exit puts spotlight focus on Colyer
Chances are considered good that mostly
along party lines, Gov. Sam Brownback will
be confirmed as President Donald Trumps
Ambassador for International Religious
Freedom, resign his office and Lt. Gov. for
seven years Jeff Colyer will ascend to the
governorship.
When that will happen, after the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee approved on
an 11-10 party-line vote last week forwarding
Brownbacks nomination to the full Senate,
isnt known. Could be this week, could be
later. Brownback could be part of a long list
of appointments bulked together to save time
so his former colleagues in the Senate can get
an early lunch.
But whenever it is, we know that Brownback
will officially resign as governorand the face
of Kansas government will change.
Whenever Brownback is officially off the
state payrollwere doubting that he will
keep the governorship through the end of a
pay periodat 11 a.m. some day in the future,
Colyer officially will be sworn-in as governor
in Hays, his hometown.
Thats always good, because hes a local
boy who honors his home town and the water
he grew up drinking. Oh, and its also a big
official event that will take place in western
Kansas, where the now-Johnson County plastic surgeon can get photos snapped during the
ceremony. Never hurts to bring the press to
Hays, does it?
And, should GOP gubernatorial candidate
and Secretary of State Kris Kobach decide to
perform the swearing-in, its probably better
STATE COMMENTARY
MARTIN HAWVER, At The Rail
for Colyer to be in the same photo as Kobach
somewhere out west, where maybe fewer people statewide will see it.
Then, we know that at 4 p.m., whenever
that day comes, theres going to an inaugural
ceremony, probably a speech, and Colyers
first time to address most of the state and its
government in Topeka. Itll be a not-quite
inaugural festival like when a new governor
takes office after an election victory, but a
good chance for legions of Statehouse regulars
to be presentand be seen to be presentand
maybe sponsor some related social events.
Look for that to be the chance for Colyer
to at least loosely describe what he wants to
do with the state that he will run for at least
another year, depending on how he does in the
GOP gubernatorial primary, and if successful
there, maybe the next four years.
Remember, as lieutenant governor, his
major job has been to support his boss, the governor, whether it requires biting his tongue or
not.
First issue, of course, will be who becomes
Colyers lieutenant governor. Thats been
quiet, but he may choose a short-termer who
will get a fairly minimal state paycheck for
a year, or it could be his chance to unveil the
Colyer-XXXX ticket for governor next year.
Hed be the first candidate to announce a
teamand well see how he characterizes his
new hire.
After a lieutenant governor is on board,
well see whether Cabinet secretaries keep
their jobs or move on to other opportunities,
which sounds so much better on a resume
than being fired.
And well see Colyers visionlook at
KanCare and its operationbecome more
prominent as it is presented by state officials.
Move into Cedar Crest, the governors mansion? Maybe, if Brownback has collected all
his stuff and left it in move-in condition, but it
might just be a weekday sleeping convenience
for Colyer who commutes to Topeka.
Lots of things are likely to change at 11
a.m. in Hays and 4 p.m. in Topeka some day
in the next few weeks. Were not sure itll be
earth-shaking enough that youll spill your
drink, but it could

Crest school officials were
notified last Monday morning
that a middle school student
was diagnosed with a confirmed case of the antibiotic
resistant Methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus
Aureus
(MRSA) skin infection. MRSA
has been in the news lately
because of the closing of a
Kansas City-area elementary school due to an outbreak
there, and its resistance to
antibiotics. The student who
tested positive is under the
care of doctors and has been
released to return to school,
but Crest administrators are
taking steps to prevent the
spread of the potentially deadly infection.

Garnetts Western Auto
store will close early next
year to make way for the new
Country Mart grocery store,
the stores owner said last
week. Dave Branton, owner
of the Western Auto affiliate
store near the grocers future
location, said he plans to
close his store by the end of
January 1998 to make way for
Country Marts construction.

the new Country Mart store
will eventually be constructed, and Branton and company
officials came to an agreement
earlier in October which gave
Branton an incentive to give
up the 5-year lease he had on
the property.

The search for three juveniles who were reporting
missing from their homes in
Colony was called off Tuesday,
when the youths were taken
into custody by the Neosho,
Mo., police department. The
juveniles have been returned
to Anderson County and face
possible charges on two counts
of burglary and three counts of
theft as a result of their esca-
pade.
40 years ago…
The Kansas Bureau of
Investigation has completed an investigation conducted at the request of Terry
Solander, county attorney,
into allegations made by
Vickie Carey, an employee of
the Anderson County Sheriff/
Police Dispatcher, that Police
Chief Lawrence Kellerman
demonstrated certain acts of
misconduct towards her at
the jail. The investigation did
not reveal sufficient evidence
on which to file any charges
against Kellerman.

At the present time, water
is the most important thing
to be considered by the people
of Garnett. While we are not
out of water entirely, it is getting low, and the conservation
of water is a great deal more
important than the conservation of food. It will probably be
necessary soon to cut off the
water for all purposes except
for protection against fire.
This is a matter that comes up
nearly every year, and now it
is more important than ever
before.
Kansas Traffic
Deaths Up
Drastically
in 2017
According
to
the
Kansas
Department
of
Transportation, 384 people
had been killed on Kansas
roadways as of Oct. 23, 2107.
This is a 20.7 percent
increase compared with Jan.
1, 2016 through Oct. 17, 2016.
The 384 traffic fatalities so far
this year matches the 384 for
the entire year of 2014 and
exceeds the totals from 2013
(350) and 2015 (354).
In 2016, 429 people died in
Kansas traffic crashes. No
single factor is responsible for
the increased fatality rates,
but excessive speed, driving
while texting/distracted, failure to wear seat belts and
drunk/drugged driving all
play a role.

the student at the center of the
investigation told the Review,
via a Facebook message, officers reviewed his electronic
devices as part of the investigation.
While there is no law in
place for telling an inappropriate joke, there is school
policy regarding student conduct,King said. The student
who told the joke was dealt
with accordingly as per school
policy.
Emails from the Review
to principal Matt Self and
assistant principal Marshall
Nienstedt inquiring what disciplinary action was taken
went unanswered as of presstime yesterday.
King said on Wednesday,
Nov. 1, the local PD was
made aware of more threats
of a school shooting at the
Anderson County Jr/Sr High
School. King said that investigation as well yielded no
evidence of any threats to the
school.
This threat was tracked
to one particular student
who played a part in the first
rumor starting, King said.
He said the investigation by
the department and by school
administration led to the conclusion the threats began as
a fictitious story exacerbated
through the local rumor mill.
Even though there was
no evidence of any validated threat to the school, officers from the Garnett Police
Department and deputies of
the Anderson County Sheriff
Office were at the school
throughout the school day on
Wednesday, King said.
While at the school
Wednesday, King said it was
reported to administration
that another student, not associated with either prior threat,
was making gestures of having a gun on him. Through
that investigation, the student stated he was messing aroundwhen he made a
pump-action motion and placing a pencil in his hand as if
it were a gun barrel and saying bangwhile pointing it at
another students head. That
student was dealt with according to school policy, King said.
Throughout the investigations, it has been determined
no legitimate threat was ever
made to any student of the
school, but rather inappropriate jokes were developed into
threats through rumors.King
said. He said the safety of students is paramount both to
local law officers and to the
school district.
Though the reality of the
actual investigation yielded little substance, the lack
of details conveyed directly
to students and parents built
on fears founded by national events in recent decads of
school shootings. Many parents commenting both privately and in public comments to
a query for information the

Review posted on its Facebook
page said they were still scared
and confused.
My child did not go to
school yesterday and she came
home early last week because
of the threat,said one students mother. There abso-
lutely needs to be more done
in regards to the safety of the
kids. I cant explain the feeling
you get when your child messages you they dont feel safe
because they heard someone
had a gun and plans to shoot
up the school.
ANDERSON
Kim Gabauer commented in
the Reviews FB discussion
information was too slow in
coming to parents.
The letter from the school
was dated the 25 of October.
Today is the 2 of November.
Why are we just hearing about
it? I would think if this really happened the school would
be on lock down and parents
notified. We would have heard
about it before now, seven
days later. Better plan needs to
be put together for situations
like this,she said.

ACHS musical Nov. 10 &
11 – 25th Annual Putnam
County Spelling Bee
The 25th Annual Putnam
County Spelling Bee is a hilarious tale of middle-school-aged
overachievers, their hopes,
their dreams, and their angst
as they compete for a slot in
the National Spelling Bee.
Overseen by adults still stuck
in adolescence themselves,
they sing their stories, utilize
unique spelling techniques and
learn that losing doesnt necessarily make you a loser. It
also teaches us to not judge; we
have no idea what others are
going through.
This has truly been a
fun production to do, said
Director Vicki Markham, and
we hope to fill the auditorium both nights. The songs
are catchy and fun to sing,
adds Gessica Tastove, Musical
Director.
Freshman Carly Hicks
makes her ACHS debut as the
long-time spelling bee hostess
and former champion, Rona
Lisa Peretti.
Nate Gainer plays Chip
Tolentino, a champion of
the Twenty-Fourth Annual
Putnam County Spelling Bee
hoping to defend his title.
Aaron Kubacka plays Mitch
Mahoney, the Official Comfort
Counselor. Although he has
sung onstage many times, this
is his first time acting.
Spencer Hermann plays
William Barfe who with his
magic spelling foot, hopes
2×5
AD
to vindicate himself after his
early elimination the previous
year. As a Freshman, Hermann
is new to the ACHS Stage.
Senior Owen Lutz returns
to the stage as frustrated Vice
Principal Douglas Panch.
Playing the ultimate overachiever Marcy Park, Bethany
Powls returns to the stage for
her last musical production.
Jenna Schmit, playing Olive
Ostrovsky, the quiet only child
with the absent father, makes
her return to stage.
Hayden Hermann plays Leaf
Coneybear, a very interesting
child who just cant seem to sit
still.
April Powls debuts on
the ACHS stage as the child
of a pushy parent. She is a
Freshman.
Other characters include Carl
Dad (Garrett Bures), Dan Dad
(Zach Barnes), Leafs Mom
and Dad (Averi Wilson, Blake
Hess), Marigold (Paige Rupp),
Olives Mom and Dad (Torey
Rogers, Blake Hess) and Jesus

Historical Society hosted
by Borntrager family
The Anderson County
Historical Society met at the
country home of Mr. and
Mrs. Jonas Borntrager on
November 2, 2017 at 6:00 p.m.
President Kristie Kinney led
the Lords Prayer, followed by
a bountiful dinner prepared by
the Borntrager family. It was
enjoyed by 55 members and
guests.
Dorothy Lickteig gave an
informational and humorous
review of her recently published book about the history of
Richmond. Kansas was opened
for settlement in 1854, following passage of The Kansas
Nebraska Act.
Dorothy
descends from John Wolken,
who staked a claim in 1855 in
the area that would become
Scipio. He was the father of
the first white child born in
Anderson County and gave the
land for the first Scipio church
in 1857.
In December 1869, a new
townsite is named Richmond,
after early day Franklin County
settler, John C. Richmond. The
tracks of the LL&G railroad
were being laid into the area
from Ottawa. Area settlers
sold timber to the railroad and
used their horse teams and
wagons with the construction.
John Wolkens sawmill cut
lumber for the project. The
trains arrived in January 1870,
and construction of track continued into Garnett.
Richmond boomed, and by
1885 it boasted of 3 hotels, 10
general stores, a blacksmith, 2
drug stores, a grocery, a millinery and hardware, furniture
store, provision and feed store,
2 meat markets, a harness and
shoe store, lumberyard, barber, tin shop, 2 express offices,
a new school, 3 churches, 2
doctors, 2 livery stables, bank,
bakery, race track, steam millpaint shop, newspaper, brick
factory, molasses mill, creamery, cheese factory, marble
shop, and a canning factory.
By 1904 the population was 500.
A new rural high school was
built in 1921. It remained the
community educational center
until closing in 1964. After the
building was converted to a
factory, it burned in the 1970s.
From its earliest days, community residents socialized at picnics, fairs, races, and dances.
The Davis Sisler ranch, pond,
and grove, at the northwest
edge of town hosted many celebrations. The Pottawatomie
Dry Branch was a popular picnic site. Richmond
Community Band, led by John
Roeckers, performed at community events for many years.
Dorothy shared humorous stories about early day settlers
experiences. Anyone interested in purchasing one of the
Richmond history books may
contact Dorothy Lickteig at
Greeley.
Monthly dinner meetings and museum hours will
resume in May 2018. The society welcomes all residents
interested in the preservation
of Anderson County history.
