Taxes dominate debate
Clear divide seen along
party lines on tax plan
at last weeks forum
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – It had all the elements of
a classic debate – snarky comments,
wild accusations, clear-cut differences along party lines, and blatant
disregard for time limits.
Sixteen candidates for political office duked it out on stage at
Anderson County High School
Wednesday, Oct. 10, at a forum sponsored by the Garnett Business and
Professional Women. A large crowd,
roughly estimated at about 100 people, turned out for the debate, making
it one of the better-attended forums
in recent years.
Gov. Sam Brownbacks controversial tax plan received the most
attention, with six state candidates
defending their positions. The plan
slashes state income taxes by about
$3.7 billion over five years, which
some analysts say will bring the
states deficit to $2.5 billion by 2018. It
reduces the tax brackets from three
to two, wipes out several tax credits,
and exempts taxes for limited liability companies and sole proprietors.
Proponents say the plan holds the
key for an economic resurgence in
Kansas as unencumbered funds are
reinvested to create jobs.
For the most part, where the candidates stood on the issue depended on political party affiliation.
Supporters, mostly Republicans, say

New curriculum could

scores, principal says
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Anderson County
High School seniors continue
to lag slightly behind the state
average on ACT test scores, but
school administrators hope a
shift in its curriculum will help
students boost scores in the
future.
A report presented to USD
365 school board members at
their Oct. 4 meeting shows a
five-year trend of average ACT
scores that puts Anderson
County High School below the
state average for each of the
past five years.
Its not much of a difference,
though, with a state average of
21.9 and ACHS seniors bringing
an average of 20.2. The difference is less than 2.5 points each
year since 2008.
The ACT consists of a series
of curriculum-based tests in
English, math, reading and science designed to measure skills
needed for success in first-year
college coursework. The test,

DEBATE…
FROM PAGE 1A
the plan will spur job growth
and encourage growth of small
businesses. Detractors, mostly
Democrats, say the plan wont
work and counties will be forced
to increase personal property
taxes to make up the difference.
The most intense – and longest – debate among state office
candidates came in the 12th
District Senate. Caryn Tyson,
a Republican and supporter of
the tax plan, said the plan will
lower taxes for every Kansan.
Its not perfect, granted.
Most bills arent, Tyson said.
We cant keep doing business
like we were. We have to aggressively lower taxes to bring jobs
to Kansans.
Her
opponent,
Denise
Cassels, a Democrat, disagreed.
She argued that not only did the
plan cut taxes, it also eliminates
revenue and the Legislature
has no plan to replace that
money, which will translate to
a reduction in services. She also
argued the plan would result
in increased property taxes as
counties sought ways to make
up for state budget cuts.
Kansas falls just below New
York on property taxes. When
you have a high property tax
rate, you have lower economic
development, Cassels said.
The debate over the state tax
plan continued with candidates
for the House. Incumbent Bill
Feuerborn, D-Garnett, called
the plan a property tax shift
while his opponent, Kevin
Jones, R-Wellsville, said the
state needs an economic revitalization and the plan would
help by putting money back into
peoples pockets.
On local issues, county commission candidates discussed
the loss of three industries with
70 jobs in the past 22 months,
but most agreed the losses
occurred because of elements
outside their control, such as
the drought, fire or relocation.
Candidate David Leitch said
the only way the commissioners can spur job creation is to
lower taxes; the county ranks
16th highest in property taxes
of the states 105 counties, much
higher than other area counties, he said. Its not surprising
businesses choose to locate in
area counties with lower taxes
than Anderson County, he said.
Commissioners also discussed a proposal to build a new
Anderson County Hospital, but
again all were roughly in agree-
ment by saying they would like
to see the issue brought to a
public vote and would honor the
publics wishes. However, some
candidates showed support for
the hospitals plans while some
raised concerns. Bill Craig said
he was a strong supporter of
the hospital, and warned that
there will still be costs associated with maintaining the hospital in its current condition.
His competitor, Jerry Howarter,
said he was concerned about
more than $3 million still owed
on a 1999 hospital renovation;
that money still needs to be
paid on top of the cost for any
new project. In the 3rd District,
David Leitch said he didnt think
the hospital could afford a new
facility because their average
census of patients last month
was just two. His competitor,
Gene Highberger, pointed out
that hospital revenue comes
from various sources, such as
a bustling outpatient clinic program.
The county attorney debate
covered a variety of questions
over law enforcement issues
such as capital murder and how
candidates, specifically Osage
County Attorney Brandon
Jones, who is vying for both
offices, would manage the
office.
Sheriff candidates also
weighed in on law enforcement
issues like underage drinking
and drugs. Incumbent Jeff Hupp
said he worked to keep a school
resource officer available even
after a grant for the position
ran out. His challenger, Vern
Valentine, said he would be a
working sheriff who was more
involved in the community.
Candidates in attendance
included:
Federal: Dennis Hawver,
Libertarian candidate for U.S.
2nd District House seat.
State: Bill Feuerborn, DGarnett, and Kevin Jones,
R-Wellsville, candidates for
Kansas 5th District House
of Representatives; Shirley
Palmer, D-Fort Scott and Marty
Read, R-Mound City, candidates
for Kansas 4th District House
of Representatives; and Denise
Cassels, D-Mound City and
Caryn Tyson, R-Parker, candidates for Kansas 12th District
Senate.
Local: Jeff Hupp, D-Garnett,

candidates for sheriff; Kathleen

SCORES…
FROM PAGE 1A
like the SAT, is used for college
entrance and scholarships. The
ACT is more common in the
Midwest than the SAT.
ACHS staff, including principal Kenny Kellstadt and
assistant principal Stacey
Hedges said they expect scores
to improve in coming years
because of an overall shift to
a different type of curriculum.
The curriculum, referred to as
the Common Core Standards
because it more clearly defines
a set of expectations coordinated by the National Governors
Association, will focus on grammar more than ACHSs English
classes did previously.
Were developing a road
map in our common core with
the ACT standards, Kellstadt
said.
Students can take the ACT
multiple times over multiple
years. Most take the test toward
the end of their junior year or
early senior year because test
scores are used to determine
college admittance and scholar-
ships. Some take the tests as
sophomores. Colleges and scholarships use the highest score,
even if the student has taken
the test several times. However,
the report USD 365 gets shows
the results of the last test the
student took. That means a student may have scored better at
an earlier time. The report only
counts the test for that years
senior class. For example, the
2012 report shows test scores
only for seniors who graduated
in 2012. If the student took the
ACT as a sophomore and did
not take the test again, the score
was banked until 2012, Hedges
said.
The report shows 53 students
in the Class of 2012 took the
ACT with a composite, or total,
average of 20.2. Students scored
highest in science, 21.1 compared to the state science average of 21.7. Students scored lowest in English, 19.4, compared to
the state English average of 21.3.
ACHS math average was 19.5
compared to the state average
of 21.8; in reading, ACHS students averaged 20.1 compared to
the state average of 22.3.

Who knows how many there were

And those so-called Kansas City
Chiefs fans who cheered their own
quarterback being knocked nearly

a big hit during the Baltimore Ravens

City.
One would like to believe that such
conduct would be more befitting to the
brash and in your face attitudes of
sports fans on either coast. But its time
to call game the way it really is: that
some KC Chiefs fans try to make an
obnoxious spectacle out of every home
game. The Cassel incident was just the
worst.
At a pre-season game with Seattle
a large – very audible – segment of the
KC fans booed the introduction of the
visiting team. They also defiled, as they
have done for years now, the end of The
National Anthem by yelling at the end
of the song. The conduct was enough
to make at least one teenager attending
her first ever Chiefs game say she never
cared whether or not she saw another
one.
Most Chiefs fans have more class.
And we have to wonder if the callous,
selfish lunkheads who take part in
these displays would look any differently upon it if they observed it happening at a high school football or
volleyball game in which their child
or family member was participating.
Maybe, maybe not. If winning is the
only important thing, maybe were
only kidding ourselves trying to teach
our young athletes sportsmanship
and honor along with a little common
decency.
Sure, pro athletes make a lot of
money and enjoy a lot of cush in
their lifestyles. They get it because we
pay them with expensive game tickets
and ridiculous ($8.25 for a beer?) concession prices, plus tons of dollars for
corporate sponsorships and advertising
revenues.
But to use their short-term opulence
and our jealousy of it as an excuse to
lose ones dignity over a football game
is a true travesty.

The Romney Lied defense
BY RICH LOWRY
NATIONAL REVIEW
Credit President Barack Obamas
aides with discernment. Even before
the first presidential debate was over,
they knew they needed to come up with
an excuse, and fast. They settled on one
that they havent stopped repeating:
Mitt Romney lied his way to victory.
The president would have rebutted Romneys gross deceptions, except
he was too focused on
answering questions
about the countrys
future and too taken
aback by Romneys brazenness to answer the
former governor in real
time. Although once he
had a day or two and his
Lowry
witty rejoinders were
cued up in a teleprompter, he was absolute hell on Romney.
The case that Romney lied so brazenly that it undid the president who prides
himself on his rhetorical genius rests,
first, on the idea that the Republican
misrepresented his own tax-reform
plan. The president said that Romney
proposes to cut taxes by $5 trillion over
10 years. Romney denied it. The presidents team responded, with its customary civility and nuance: Liar!
But this isnt even a close call.
Romney wants to cut income-tax rates
20 percent across the board and make
up the revenue by closing loopholes and
deductions. This isnt a tax cut; its a
wash. Its been Romneys plan ever since
he proposed it during the Republican
primaries. Its such a simple concept
that only willful obtuseness keeps the
president or his team from understanding it.
Its true that Romney hasnt specified which deductions hed cut, leaving that for a future negotiation with
Congress. The Obama team takes this as
license to accuse Romney of proposing
to raise taxes on the middle class, a pure
fabrication. When Obama made this
charge in Denver, Romney proved that
it is possible to reply to falsehoods oneon-one during a live debate. Romney
firmly said he wouldnt raise taxes on
When Obama aides say that
the real Romney didnt show up in
Denver, what they really mean is
that he failed ot live down to their
rank caricature of him.
the middle class and patiently explained
why not.
Romneys other whopping deception
allegedly was his contention that his
health-care plan covers people with preexisting conditions. On this, too, he was
on solid ground. To simplify, he wants to
extend the current legal protection that
exists in the employer-based insurance
market to the individual market, and
make it easier for people to buy insurance in that individual market. Again,
this is nothing new, but has been an element in his health-care policy from the
beginning.
When Obama aides say that the real
Romney didnt show up in Denver, what
they really mean is that he failed to live
down to their rank caricature of him.
As Romney showed during an hour and
a half of high-pressure television, he
is a capable and intelligent man who is
ready to be president and has a substantial reform agenda. The Obama campaigns response to his debate victory
basically was, Dont believe your lying
eyes — believe our super PAC ads.
The presidents team evidently
underestimated Romney once already.
If it really believes this lying liar
interpretation of the debate — rather
than pushing it in the media for lack
of anything else to say — it will underestimate him yet again. Mitt Romney
bested President Obama on the merits
in Denver. Anyone insisting otherwise
simply cant handle the truth.

Review.
Yes, the Armistice was signed on November
11, 11 oclock in 1918. As far as the 10:30 am
start time, that is when the program begins.
At 11:00 a.m. we celebrate the Armistice
as part of the program. The Veterans Day
program will be on November 9 at 10:30 a.m.
at the high school and if that hurts your
feelings Im sorry. We do it this way so the
students can attend.
The ACJSHS choir concert was wonderful. Students and faculty did a great job as
always. But do we really need to continue
with the lecture about children and cell
phones? It has become more of an irritant
and distraction as the aforementioned. We
are well aware of our responsibilities as
spectators and parents. Lets truly let the
students be the stars without the distraction
of insulting instructions.
I know that as a city we have a problem with
the cat population. But I was thinking that if
as a city we would help all these people out
with stray cats to catch them and get them
spayed and neutered that would cut down
on the population. The vet said if we had 20
cats we could get a pretty good discount on
getting them spayed and neutered. I think
that would help with the population instead
of dumping them off at the reservoir which
is illegal and inhumane.
I am appalled at the toilets displayed in
several yards in Garnett. I have seen a KU,
K-State and now a pink Wings toilet in the
last week. Its embarrassing to see a team or
organization that I support proudly having
a toilet representing them. I dont care how
cute they are painted up it is still a trashy
display. Thank you.
Im calling in regard to the persons who
put the article in the paper about the school
district nurses giving the abortion pill to the
students in New York. Youre just as bad as
they are. Shame on you for even suggesting
they do that all around the country and
Garnett. If theyre old enough to have sex
and they know what theyre doing and they
dont use protection, then let me tell you
something, theyre old enough to learn to
take care of babies.
Dear super soldier, every time I think your
BS has no bounds, you surprise me. What
another load of bushido. And how dare you
desecrate the honor of real veterans with
your lies about being such a super soldier.
Worse than claiming to be a KBI agent. Lets
hope they super size your jail sentence.
Hi, I just want to say what a great job the
teachers and helpers do at the new school
in getting the little kids loaded after school.
Whether it is mothers, fathers, grandmas,
aunts or uncles they all seem to get them
loaded safely and quickly. They do a great
job. Thanks.
There is not a more mean, stupid, dastardly,
pitiful, selfish, spiteful, envious, ungrateful
animal than the public. It is the greatest of
cowards for it is afraid of itself.
Consolidation is the new c word
Things get very simple and very complicated when state government officials
use what some are now calling the C
word. That C, of course, stands for consolidation of school districts.
School districts, essentially governments all to themselves with elected
board members, are each little islands
inside the state financed by state and
local tax dollars. Each is fiercely proud
of its schools, its sports teams, its debaters, and…well you get the idea.
But next legislative session, were
likely to see different versions of the C
word, some worth a capital letter, some
that are just as worthy of a lower-case
c.
For Gov. Sam Brownback, the C word
means closing schools, taking the heart
out of many small towns in Kansas. Hes
from a small town, Parker, and is protective of those small schools.
But for some looking at how to save
money on schools, there are steps a lot
smaller than tearing down a schoolhouse
or drowning a high school mascot that
are going to get a look next session.
Kansans are going to get a look at
choices that likely shrinking state aid
and the threat of higher property taxes
are going to trigger.
Some might be un-noticeable. As long
as your football team is doing well, do
you care where the district buys its trash
by Martin Hawver
KANSAS STATEHOUSE COLUMNIST
bags or whether the payroll checks are
sent out from the local school district
administration building or…maybe one
statewide central bookkeeping office?
Or…is that just a step to dissolving
local control of schools and leaving the
locally elected boards to just pass judgment on the length of cheerleaders
skirts?
Does it matter whether your school
board joins up with a statewide purchasing contract to buy papermaybe not
buying it from a local supplierif it
saves money?
Those are among the little things that
dont show up in the classroom, and will
probably be in small type in the local
newspaper if they are reported, that save
a dollar here or a thousand dollars there
and eventually add up.
But…its the difference between a
locally owned caf and a franchise fastfood outlet owned by a local guy. Its a
little different feel and legislators next
session are going to have to consider
whether its worth the political risk to
support.
Does it sound a little like consolidation
can be done at a level that doesnt really
impact local control decisionsexcept
when they cost tax dollars or turn up in
someones power point charts comparing
costs for this or that among the states
school districts?
Or, is local control simply local control and once basics are met, its up to the
local school board members and their
constituents to decide just how efficient
or locally sourced are the components of
the school districts spending.
That C word has lots of different levels, some worth a capital letter, some just
fine lower-case…depending, of course,
on the people who vote for school board
members…

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, October 16, 2012
LOCAL
2012 Election: Candidate Comparison
Anderson County Sheriff
Jeff Hupp, D
Vern Valentine, R
What do you see as the most important law enforcement issue
facing Anderson County and what is your solution?
HUPP: The #1 issue facing this small county
would be the usage & addiction to illegal drugs
& alcohol. The most prevalent drugs of choice
would be marijuana & methamphetamine, which
the ways to manufacture it change constantly.
The use & abuse of these drugs in combination with the tough economic times, has led to
other crimes such as thefts, burglaries, DUIs &
domestic violence.
SOLUTIONS:
Education & enforcement would be & have
been the way to try to combat these issues.
Education not only for the violators, but also
for law enforcement officers thru training to
educate both on the dangers of such behavior &
the criminal outcome if those choices are made.
The D.A.R.E. program & the School Resource
Officer (SRO) program have been utilized for
years to educate the children & teenagers on
the issues drug use/abuse & how devastating
an impact they make on the lives of not only
the individual, but the family unit & society as a
whole.
I believe that citizen involvement in the
reporting of crime(s) & reporting it when it is
observed can be & has been of benefit to law
enforcement in dealing with those issues. Such
programs as the Neighborhood Watch involves
the citizens to self-protect themselves, their
neighborhoods, & their community from being
victimized of crime(s) are crucial.
VALENTINE: One of the most important issues
of Anderson County right now is lack of officer
presence in the County.
We need to get County Officers out of
Garnett and back into the rural areas and do a
better job of scheduling officers, which can be
done with a working Sheriff and Undersheriff.
We usually only have one officer out at night for
the entire county so we need less supervisors.
Go back to Sheriff Vaughns rule. The only time
Deputies should be in Garnett is for Meals,
Court, Report writing and to assist the Garnett
Police if asked. Garnett has a full-time working
Police Department
Explain how you would handle allegations of violations of
the open meetings and open records laws.
HUPP: Local Law Enforcement Agencies per
se do not enforce these laws, as they pertain
to certain government entities. The enforcement of the KOMA & KORA falls upon the local
County Attorney & the office of the Kansas State
Attorney General, when suspected violations
occur. It is their responsibility to investigate &
then assign the proper punishment for such
violations.
The Anderson County Sheriffs Office complies with providing any & all information to the
public, media, or any other law enforcement
agency(s) that are mandated by statute to
receive such information. It also important that
certain information obtained by law enforcement
concerning criminal investigations of juveniles,
sexual assaults, or other crimes be kept private
& withheld per state statute for privacy, investigative, & prosecutorial purposes.
VALENTINE: If someone is disrupting a lawful
meeting we would ask that person or persons
to leave. If that person should refuse or continue to disrupt the meeting he or she would
be removed, possibly go to jail and charges of
disorderly conduct would be sent to the C.A.
for review.
Violation of open records act.
We cannot force a person to give a person
their records without the courts permission. It
would be handled like any other violation of law
and that is in accordance with the law. Deputies
would get witness, defendant and victim statements, complete their report and turn it over to
the County Attorney as only he can decide on
whether or not to prosecute.
Where do you see opportunities for cost reduction or enhanced efciency of the jail and sheriffs department?
HUPP: As Sheriff, I have looked for ways
to upgrade much needed equipment for the
Office. One of the ways to save money was by
purchasing newer (used) patrol vehicles from
the Kansas State/Federal Surplus & the KHP
Fleet sales to rid the Sheriffs Office fleet of high
mile patrol vehicles. It was found that going this
way, it was possible to obtain (2) vehicles for the
price of (1) brand new patrol vehicle & still have
money to upgrade old or outdated emergency
equipment.
I replaced the aging (6) AR carbine rifles by
trading straight across for (6) brand new patrol
rifles. That savings alone allowed for the purchase of additional equipment needed for those
weapons.
I have utilized money obtained by doing
VIN inspections for much needed training for
Sheriffs Office personnel. This money not being
from taxpayer dollars. I developed & instituted a
Field Training Officer (FTO) program to create
a standard of training for current & new hired
deputies. Grants are being looked at to obtain
new ballistic vests for the soon to be outdated
vests currently worn by the deputies.
A computer records management system
was purchased that saves on paper & office
supplies in 2011.
I have utilized the skills & knowledge of in
house employees to handle computer IT issues,
thus saving thousands of dollars from outsourcing the repairs or issues to an outside company.
Have set procedures in motion for standardization, expectations & responsibility to the public
as well as the Sheriffs Office. I also kept the
much needed School Resource Officer (SRO)
program after the Federal Grant for that position
expired, by incorporating that duty as part of
investigations.
JAIL:
The mechanics of the jail operation is a day
to day event. Such things as medical expenses
for the prisoners are unforeseen. The sporadic
electrical repairs since jail construction has been
a cost issue, however is close to being totally
fixed.
Some solutions for cost effectiveness & efficiency would be thru training & education for the
correctional officers, thus minimizing potential
law suits. Buying jail products in larger bulk to
cut down on monthly expenses.
The Anderson County Jail since its conception has been utilized to bring in Farm In
prisoners from surrounding counties that do not
have the jail space due to overcrowding, has
generated revenue for the county. By hiring an
independent food service company (CBM) to
feed the prisoners, this has saved money, as
they are solely responsible for the feeding of &
food service preparation for the prisoners, thus
taking sole responsibility that would arise of any
food service liability issues and food service
codes established by health department regulations. The kitchen staff is hired by CBM, thus
saving personnel payroll money & benefits.
Future ways of saving & generating additional revenue are being looked at by expanding to additional counties to accept & house
their prisoners, which would possibly lead to
the planned expansion of the second floor of
the Anderson County Jail to accommodate a
larger farm in jail population, thus generating
additional revenue for the county. Utilization of
inmate commissary money can be & has sparingly been used to purchase worn out items for
the jail such as uniforms, mattresses, towels,
shoes etc., this money having been generated
by the inmates themselves.
VALENTINE: We need to go to the other county
jails and ask why they are passing us up since
we are $10.00 cheaper a day for holding other
county inmates. If we are not meeting their
requirements we need to. We use to charge
40 a day we dropped to 35, and still they pass
us up. We have 9 officers and 5 of them are
supervisors. If there were no road Sgts it would
cut the supervisors down to three, Sheriff,
Undersheriff and Detective which would save
money in the future and add productive officers.
We can save money by not buying things that
are not needed to run the Office. Sheriff Hupp
spent approximately $2,500.00 in 10 months
on pencils, pens, keys chains. wall calendars,
trick or treat bags and other non essential items.
Most of the items he had his name printed on so
he could get his name out in the public. What if
every An. Co. elected official did this? He has
already purchased a case of 2013 calendars
with his name on them, what if he does not win
the election? He has traded semi auto rifles
(AR-15) that had only been used once a year
for qualification reasons, for fully auto rifles. I
have been told by S.O. personal; that he plans
now to place 500 rounds of rifle ammo in each
patrol vehicle. That is 4,500 rounds of ammo
that technically should be traded out or shot
every six months to a year. Have you bought
ammunition lately? Dont try to replace all the
patrol vehicles at once. Mr. Hupp has purchased
three vehicles in 11 months. We usually average
one a year. I have always been taught, if it is not
broke dont fix it.
Anderson County Attorney
Kathleen Neff, D
Fred Campbell, L
Brandon Jones, R
What do you see as the most important law enforcement issue facing Anderson County and what is
your solution?
NEFF: From my information and experience, the
three issues most in need of improvement in
the County Attorneys office are the number of
unfiled cases, the strained working relationship
with the Sheriffs Department and the Garnett
Police, and the treatment of victims of crime. I
would concentrate my efforts on prosecuting many
more cases, improving communications with the
Sheriffs Department and the Garnett City Police
Department, and hold my office open as a resource
for both departments. It is important that law
enforcement officers be told when a case needs
further investigation, when prosecution of a case
is being declined, and that officers be prepared for
testimony at trial. Too often, these key functions
of a County Attorney are not being carried out as
things now stand.
Crime victims should be shown great consideration, and their input in criminal proceedings should
always be sought and respected. I would see that
crime victims were always notified of all court dates
and plea proposals, and would give careful consideration to their opinions and feelings. Restitution for
property damages should also be sought whenever
appropriate.
CAMPBELL: Alcohol use among teenagers is
the most important law enforcement issue facing
Anderson County today and throughout the time I
have been here. Alcohol is the number one gateway
drug among youth and the root cause of much of
the crime and drug abuse in the county. The State
(e.g.: law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and
courts) cannot do anything about the problem without community involvement, and the most important
members of the community to get involved are the
parents. The only solution to the most important law
enforcement issue facing Anderson County is for
parents to stop excusing their own poor parenting
by saying theyre going to do it anyway and start
treating the issue as the major problem that it truly
is. It is the nature of children to test the boundaries
that are set by their parents. If parents dont want
their children to do any worse than they themselves
did, they must set their childrens boundaries where
their own parents set them. Saying that theyre
going to do it anyway is the same as saying the
boundaries for my children are so wide and weak
that they will have to go very far astray to even find
a boundary to test. Many children die before they
even encounter the boundaries their parents have
set for them.
JONES: If elected, I will focus on three primary
areas: DUIs, domestic violence, and burglaries.
Drunk driving is a big concern in any community as
it occurs far too often and puts so many innocent
lives in danger. I will aggressively prosecute DUI
cases to keep the roads safe. I also believe that
people should feel safe and secure in their homes.
That cannot happen if there is domestic violence in
the home, or if people break-in to your home to steal
your hard earned possessions. I will aggressively
prosecute these crimes, and the criminals who
commit them, so that Anderson County residents
will feel safe and secure in their homes.
Law enforcement agencies, including prosecutors, are in charge of enforcing open meetings and
open records laws. Explain how you would handle allegations of violations of the open meetings and
open records laws.
NEFF: KOMA and KORA are intended to support
integrity and transparency in government decisions
and actions, with civil penalties for violations of
each. I have 25 years experience with civil cases.
As County Attorney, I would take all complaints
of violations of both KOMA and KORA seriously,
and investigate each fully and quickly, taking such
further steps as the facts of each case indicate. It is
also important that public officials be educated on
the law in this area, especially KOMA, as the statute
is really more complex than it sounds.
CAMPBELL: I will continue to handle open meetings and open records laws as I have in the past.
When complaints are made to my office, I will obtain
the necessary information and, if necessary, will file
the appropriate cases as I did against the City of
Garnett Planning Commission in 2007.
JONES: By state statute, the County Attorney is the
one responsible for investigating and prosecuting
alleged violations of the Kansas Open Meetings
and Records Acts. I have investigated these types
of violations for the past five years in Osage County.
When a complaint is made to me, I thoroughly
investigate the complaint by talking to all of the
parties involved. I then determine if a violation has,
in fact, occurred. If so, I work with the offending
organization to make sure they are aware of the
laws and how they apply to their organization. I
thoroughly explain to them, both orally and in
writing, how they violated the act. I will then usually require that they get some training to educate
themselves on the law so there will be no future
violations. I will always report my findings to the
reporting party as well. In my experience, most of
these violations are accidents and are due to lack
of training or understanding of the law. If violations
are persistent or found to be intentional, I would
certainly considering fining the offending parties as
allowed under the law.
Two candidates for this ofce have led in multiple counties. Explain your views on a part-time
approach vs. a full-time approach. Explain how you would effectively prosecute cases in Anderson
County if you served more than one county.
NEFF: I am the only candidate who feels Anderson
County needs and deserves its own County
Attorney, for several reasons. First, as previously
mentioned, I do feel the County Attorneys office has
not been prosecuting cases as actively as it should
be, given the countys crime rate, which means its
not all that part-time. There is much more out of
Court work time to prosecution than in-court time.
Secondly, I strongly feel that a County Attorney
should be part of the community, living and working
with the people one serves and working closely with
law enforcement, in order to function effectively.
Lastly, a prosecutor trying to work in two counties at once will face constant conflicts with each
Courts docket, as the Judges days in each county
overlap with the other. No prosecutor can be in two
places at once.
CAMPBELL: I believe that the people of Anderson
County deserve a full-time Attorney in the County
Attorneys Office. As I told the attorney who was
appointed to the office before me, who hired me as
his assistant, and who would only come to Garnett
once or twice a week, these people deserve better
than this. The conversation was rather heated and
occurred shortly before he too abandoned the position that I have held for more than a decade.
In the unlikely event that I find myself in the position of serving more than one county, I believe that
it would be only fair to use the combined salaries of
the two offices to hire a part-time assistant to insure
that both offices provide full-time service to the
people of the counties who rely on the them.
HUPP…
FROM PAGE 1
Anderson County as per state
statute. He kept their home in
Franklin County pending the
outcome of the election, as it
was deemed foolish to uproot
the family for 1 12 years &
due to tough economic times.
His commitment to Anderson
County is to establish a residence in Anderson County for
his future term(s) as Sheriff.
Jeff graduated from Kearney
State College of Kearney,
Nebraska (now the University
of Nebraska at Kearney) with
a Bachelor of Science Degree
in 1975. He worked locally
in Kearney at the Youth
Development Center in Kearney
which began his career in law
enforcement (corrections) &
then the Buffalo County Jail.
JONES: In most Kansas counties, the County
Attorney position is considered a part-time position,
meaning the elected county attorney usually has a
private practice, in addition, to their county attorney
position. In several Kansas counties, the county
attorney serves as the elected county attorney in
more than one county, and some still maintain a
private practice.
When I was appointed Osage County Attorney,
the position was considered a part-time position.
The previous Osage County Attorney, now District
Court Judge Eric Godderz, maintained a private
practice with his father in addition to his county
attorney duties.
The Osage County Attorneys Office typically
files more than twice as many criminal, traffic, and
juvenile cases than the Anderson County Attorneys
Office.
Before filing for both of these offices, I looked
at the case filing statistics, spoke with local law
enforcement, spoke with all of the Osage and
Anderson county judges, and talked to local defense
attorneys about being county attorney in both counties. I received nothing but positive feedback.
I feel that I have the experience, work ethic,
time, and ability to handle both offices effectively.
The judges have indicated that they are willing to
work with me to make the court schedule work in
both counties. I live in a perfect location that puts
me just 30 minutes away from each office.
If elected to both positions, I plan to split my
time between the two offices. Further, with modern
technology such as smart phones, iPads, lap tops,
etc. I will be able to get my work done from either
office, my home, or anywhere else I may be.
I would not run for both offices if I did not feel
100% confident that I could effectively do both jobs.
I am confident that I can provide top quality public
service to both counties if elected to both positions.

What do you see as the most important issue facing Anderson County?
What do you see as the most important issue facing Anderson County?
HOWARTER: The economy is struggling toward recovery.
Whether it is on the national or local level, it seems to affect us
somehow. Every cost of living item from child care, groceries,
clothing, entertainment, etc., is affected. Individually, we must
operate within our family budget. I believe Anderson County
should do the same. Everyone agrees that taxes are too high,
but most also agree that they do not want to give up services,
maintenance of roads and facilities that we have grown to appreciate. Keeping current proven programs in place should be a
priority. We also need to constantly reevaluate and question what
is being done in every facet of county operations. We all need to
be accountable for our actions.
HIGHBERGER: I believe the economy is probably the most
important issue facing Anderson County. Fuel cost, groceries
and living cost are out of proportion with the value of the dollar.
In addition, the heat and drought have really put a crunch on local
farmers and cattlemen. The economy has also made it tough to
CRAIG: Maintaining an ever-increasing valuation for the county.
An increasing valuation will spread the mill levy over a larger
base, allowing a lower tax burden for the necessary goods
and services, which much be purchased. If the total valuation
declines, a higher mill levy must be charged to continue the
necessary base of goods and services. The only way we can
accomplish this balance is to attract more residences and/or
business building to increase our county valuation.
Where do you stand on proposed construction of a new facility for Anderson
County Hospital?
HOWARTER: Everyone would agree that having and maintaining
a hospital in our community is of the upmost importance. Quality
health care and education should rank at t he top of a must-have
list. If or when a proposal for a new hospital facility is brought
before the county commissioners, my stand is to let the people
decide, put it on a ballot and let the chips fall where they may.
CRAIG: Much more information will have to be made available
before anybody can make an informed decision. Such information will need to address the cost and effect issues of staying
with the present facility. It may be that we cant afford to take that
option. If that is true, then we must evaluate what we can afford
and pay for in the way of a new facility after we have a complete
package of financial information. I strongly feel that anything that
is done must be done by a vote of county citizens.
Some governmental organizations have lobbied against the publication of budgets,
ordinances and other government actions in local newspapers as presently required
by law. Describe your views on public notice issues and on governmental openness
in general.
HOWARTER: The question is about government organizations
that have lobbied against publication of budgets, ordinances and
other government actions in local newspapers as required by law.
That should be answered right there. If its the law then its final.
We must follow the legal path or leave ourselves open to all kinds
of legal issues. As far as openness in government, Im al for it.
Withholding information, covering up issues, for example, only
builds doubt about how we conduct business. If we are to help
build a stronger more cohesive community then we must move
forward together. We have all seen what happens at the national
level when members of congress simply refuse to get along.
HOWARTER: The county has lost three manufacturing plants in
the past 24 months. The ethanol plant (East Kansas Agri Energy)
has been hit by the drought, just like very other agricultural business in this region. According to news releases, their shutdown
is temporary. With the onset of a new year and hopefully a much
better growing season, they will be back in production and the
jobs will return as well.
Kids Creations was purchased by a company from out of
state. If that was their plan from the beginning, then maybe our
local owners would not have sold out to them. Anyway, they are
gone and so are the jobs that we so desperately need.
Astro Truck Covers was destroyed by fire. A lot of effort was
made to help them stay in our community. It is my understanding
that they had contracts to fill and needed immediate facilities
to restart their manufacturing. Research was done, whether to
rebuild a new plant or relocate to neighboring Ottawa. We lost
again, because buildings were available to move into and production time would be much quicker with not having to rebuild.
These jobs are also gone to another location.
The good news is that we have an animal bedding manufacturing company that has purchased part of the Astro property, a
pipelining company that also purchased part of the Astro property. It is my understanding that these two companies will be hiring. As far as numbers, I have not heard. Lastly, nearby property
has been purchased to open a wrecker business. Im sure more
about all of these businesses will be made known when the
information is available.
As near as I can tell, there is no magic wand for job creation
and economic development. I know we have an economic
development committee that has and will continue to work very
hard toward any employment producing entity that would show
interest in our community. I believe the best idea is to never give
up and just keep trying.

Where do you stand on proposed construction of a new facility for Anderson
County Hospital?
HIGHBERGER: Every community has their public image and
their strong points. The citizens of Anderson County are our
strongest asset. Our public schools and the hospital are two more
of the many assets Anderson County holds. St. Lukes Health
System leases the Anderson County Hospital. St. Lukes should
come up with a workable plan to present to the Anderson County
Commissioners. If accepted, the plan should be put on the ballot so every registered voter in Anderson County would have a
chance to vote on it.
CRAIG: I think the way we have been administering our economic development efforts through a combination of city/county
funding has been effective. In a period of nine months in 2012 we
were able to acquire through an exchange of tax credits for real
estate, the former Astro Cap acreage. This property has been
platted and resold to three new businesses, which will provide
approximately 40 new jobs and a new building on the former
Astro sight. After these transactions we have the former Warner
Manufacturing building. No public funds were involved with these
transactions. The Warner building with a new roof is now offered
for sale. This is the type of activity that can be generated due
to the wealth of knowledge of programs of our director, Dennis
Arnold, working two days per week.
HIGHBERGER: Without a doubt the public has a right to know
whats happening in government, whether it be local, state and
nationally. I see no need to change the current law.

of Columbus.
I have and always will be a strong supporter
of the community. I am proud to have been a
commissioner during the 911 sign installation,
the hospital renovation, the Welda Sewer District
formation, employment of a county engineer
and county investigator, the construction of the
annex building, railroad crossing arms at key
locations, approving a new hazardous waste site
and a new radio system which covers the entire
county plus the highway patrol.
We strive to make Anderson County a safe and
friendly place to live. We need to ensure proper
support for medical services, law enforcement
and road improvements, placing safety first.
I am very proud to be your county commissioner, and feel like I have the ability to work with
people to get the job done. Together we can make
a difference. I would appreciate your vote on Nov.
6.
LEITCH: Representative government is rule of the people, by
the people, and for the people, which cannot occur if the people
do not know what is going on. To inform the people we need to
have honest people publishing the true facts promptly in a manner which the people can access before action is taken by their
elected representatives. To this end I have been campaigning to
use the Internet and the Anderson County website (andersoncountyks.org) to make available the agenda for issues coming
before the county commission, at least two days before the
commission meetings, to allow county residents time to either
arrange to be present for the hearing, or to contact their elected
commissioner and inform him/her of their wishes in the matter
by email with the email addresses posted on the agenda. This
can be done without any further expenditure of county funds.
I can do this with the help of one other commissioner. I think
the law should be followed and public notice should take place.
In addition, I think closed meetings are overused and misused
(the closed meetings with Robert Perry, JD, recently is a prime
example and I protested at the time and since to no avail). Maybe
we need a new county counselor?
The county has lost three manufacturing plants and 70 jobs in the past 24 months.
What is your approach to economic development and job creation?
HIGHBERGER: There is no easy fix to this dilemma. The City of
Garnett and Anderson County share an economic development
director who is our contact for anyone interested in Anderson
County. One of the problems is that every small town in the country is looking for new industry. I will do my very best to maintain
what we already have.
LEITCH…
FROM PAGE 1A
CRAIG…
LEITCH: The idea of a new hospital needs to be voted on by the
taxpayers in this county and their wishes followed. That means
when the bond issue fails there will not be a jailhouse end run
attempted by a public building commission (PBC). The voting
public needs to elect commissioners who will follow the voting
wishes of the taxpayers, commissioners who have publicly stated
they will not bypass the will of the people. I will not bypass the
will of the voters!
Some governmental organizations have lobbied against the publication of budgets,
ordinances and other government actions in local newspapers as presently required
by law. Describe your views on public notice issues and on governmental openness
in general.
CRAIG: I have no problem with requirements for publications of
budgets, ordinances and other actions of governments. These
are very necessary to keep citizens informed. I also have no
problem with the Kansas Open Meetings Act and its enforcement. It also is very necessary in controlling unscheduled meetings of commissions, boards and committees in Kansas.
The county has lost three manufacturing plants and 70 jobs in the past 24 months.
What is your approach to economic development and job creation?
LEITCH: The most important issue is taxes and their cause!

raised cattle until 2003 when I
retired.
I served the Republican
party in many ways and was the
vice chairperson in Anderson
County for many years. Other
organizations I have belonged
to include the Jaycees (secretary), Lake Garnett Racing
LEITCH: The county cannot hope to attract new business and
housing development with a tax base as high as Anderson
County and the City of Garnett now has. The surrounding counties tax levy is way below ours and this is a prime decider of
location of new construction. I was on the economic board in the
1970s when Iola got about 14 new industries and the reasons
given by prospective businesses for not coming to Garnett
included the tax base. The county commissioners function is to
set policy for the county and to set the budget, which decides
the mill levy. The only way I, as a commissioner, can influence
economic development and job creation is to try and manage the
budget, which now exceeds $7 million.

RICHMOND- Saturdays torrential rain brought relief to
even the Vikings dry spell
when Central Heights capitalized on their progress
from Tuesday and collected
a win against Kansas City
Christian. Unfortunately, the
rally ended there, with the
Vikings losing subsequent
games to both Uniontown
and Girard.
Slow starts have plagued
Central Heights all season.
Once again, they started
out sluggish against Kansas
City Christian. Luckily, the
offense was able to spring
to life and the Vikings came
away with a win. The first
set was a close 25-23, but with
the confidence gained after
that success, Central Heights
came out fierce in the second match, winning 25-12.
I thought Alexis Dryden
started to really hit hard, she
is approaching the ball better and Shannon Goldring
was hitting well, asserted
Central Heights Coach Ann
Bowen. I think we struggle
with confidence and we need
to start going into matches
expecting to win.
Vs. KCC
Brianna Erhart: 2 kills, 9 digs, 7
assists
Sydney Meyer: 3 kills
Kenzie Hayward: 7 kills, 3 blocks
(2stuff)
Alexis Dryden: 7 kills
Whitney Kraus: 5 kills, 3 digs
Shannon Goldring: 5 kills
Lexi Griffin: 2 digs
Emily Miller: 4 digs
Tami Schaefer: 3 assists
The Vikings immediately
moved on to face Uniontown.
They were not able to capitalize on the momentum
from the KCC win, and fell
to Uniontown 11-25, 14-25.
Bowen noted, I think that we
played better than the score
showed. But again, we need
the confidence going into the
match.

The Lady Bulldog golf
team competed in 4A regional play at Girard, KS on
Monday, Oct. 8th.
The conditions were less
than favorable with early
temperatures in the 30s and
winds gusting. The grass
was wet and the greens were
fast at the Crawford Hills
golf course.
The four members of the
team, Darissa Maley, Carolyn
Hermreck, Bailey Rockers
and Samantha McCullough,
set out to play their best
games in order to advance
as a team to the state tournament.
Though they competed
well, their combined score
was too high to qualify as
a team. Two members of
the team were able to
qualify individually and
advance to the state tournament. Carolyn Hermreck
and Bailey Rockers both
traveled to Hesston, KS to
compete individually at the
KSHSAA state golf tournament on Monday, October
15th. Rockers had a good
outing and came in third
place overall with a score of

still battling shoulder problems, persevered and was
able to finish 10th with a 117.
Darissa Maley, a senior, finished her season with a 132

twice and Central Heights in
Osawatomie on Oct. 6.
AC won both matches at
Prairie View beating the home
team 25-20, 26-24 and Central
Heights 25-14, 25-18.
Coach Samantha Overstreet
commented, Two great road
wins. Great serving night by
Tori (Cunningham) with 9 aces.
On October 6th AC competed
in the Osawatomie Invitational.
The Bulldogs were 1-2 in pool
play, beating Jayhawk Linn 2521, 25-17, but losing to Wellsville
23-25, 25-17, 14-16 and West
Franklin 25-25, 20-25.
In bracket play AC reeled in
2 more victories to capture 5th
place beating Central Heights
for the 2nd time in 4 days, 25-18,
25-18 and Jayhawk Linn the 2nd
time that day, 25-19, 25-19.
We came home in 5th which
was disappointing because we
all know we could have done
better, commented Coach
Overstreet. Our serving overall was better than it has been!
Kinlee (Jones) had 10 aces on
the day. The first match against
Wellsville was a heartbreaking
loss. Our passing and defense
was a major struggle all day
and we allowed too many balls
to drop. Alexis had 19 kills and
Tori (Cunningham) had 10.
Lancers level Chetopa for homecoming win
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY – The Lancers made
the most of a district matchup
during the Crest homecoming
Friday night and took a 78-36
victory from Chetopa.
Crest hammered out a total
of 536 yards on offense – 397 on
the ground and 139 in the air
assault. Chetopa snapped up a
small lead in the first quarter
and was up 16-10 at the end of
the first period, but the Crest
running machine came alive
and smashed in six unanswered
touchdowns beginning early in
the 2nd period to secure the win
after a 48-16 halftime score.
We played with lots of emotion and were determined to be
successful tonight, said head
coach Brent Smith. Offensively
we did a good job of attacking
and taking advantage of turnovers created by our offense.
Lancer QB Kyle Hammond
connected 6 of 9 passes for 58
yards. Jordan Morton hit three
of 9 for 81. Hammond led receiving as well with 3 catches for 81
yards, while Brock Ellis caught
5 for 15 and Sedlak caught one
for 43.
Hammond massed 220 yards
on the night on 25 rushing plays
with 5 TDs and two PATs. Sedlak
had 126 yards on 10 carries with
two TDs. Morgan rushed for 51
yards and scored one PAT.
Miller topped the Lancer
defensive stats with 12 tackles on the night. Boone had 8,
Sedlak 7 and Hammond and
Ellis both had 6. Morton picked
off 4 interceptions in the Crest
backfield as Chetopa tried in
vain to rally an air assault.
The win brings the Lancers
to 4-3 overall and 2-1 in district
play. Chetopa fell to 4-3 and 1-1
in district.

Vs. Girard
Brianna Erhart: 5 kills, 7 digs, 5 assists
Sydney Meyer: 1 kill, 3 blocks
The tournament results
bring the Vikings record to
5-20. It almost seems like we
always need a one set warmup and then we are good to go.
But by that time, its too hard
to come back and win if we
have lost the first set, suggested Bowen. We need to
finish the season by coming
out strong from point one.
Central Heights will get a
chance to face the tournament winners, Osawatomie,
at home Tuesday night.

Local youth celebrate
Red Ribbon Week
Red Ribbon Week is October
23rd through October 31st, 2012.
It was started when drug traffickers in Mexico City killed
DEA agent, Kiki Camarena, in
1985. This began the continuing tradition of displaying Red
Ribbons as a symbol of intolerance towards the use of drugs.
Local elementary schools have
taken part in this for the past
four years and we want to make
this year even better. The goal
is to strengthen life skills and
drug resistance techniques,
while keeping children in a safe,
healthy and drug free environment.
The Anderson County Family
Coalition will help celebrate Red
Ribbon Week with the National
Plant the Promise Campaign.
The goal of this campaign is
to plant 500 red tulip bulbs at
Garnett Elementary School
GARNETT: From now until
Oct. 26, the City of Garnett
city employees are having several toilets traveling around
town to raise money to support W.I.N.G.S. (www.wingsathome.com) during this month
of October, Breast Cancer
Awareness Month. All proceeds
of this project will be donated to
this local organization.
Persons interested in having
some fun may call City Hall
at (785) 448-5496 to ask to have
a decorated toilet placed in a
friend or neighbors yard. The
cost is a $10 donation for delivery and the donation can be
dropped off or mailed to Garnett
City Hall, 131 W. 5th Avenue,
Garnett, KS, 66032. The friend
or neighbor can then request
(GES) during this years celebration. The tulips will represent each of the 500 children
attending GES. The Anderson
County Family Coalition is partnering with the school in this
effort. GES has been selected as
the site for the tulips this year,
with hopes to expand to other
schools in the county and other
community sites. The bulbs
should bloom in April, which
is Alcohol Awareness month.
This will remind the kids of
the materials they learned in
October, and give a continuing
lesson on staying drug and alcohol free.
Donations are needed in order
to make this event a success! If
you would like to donate bulbs,
a small shovel, or help cover the
costs of these purchases, please
contact Amy Wettstein, School
Counselor at 785-448-3177.

Chores have changed over years 2002: Mothers say investigation botched
In these times of store-bought
food, automatic heat and cool
air, and automotive transportation, life on the farm or in a
town home is very different for
a youngster than it was 50 or 100
years ago. The difference consists principally of the greatly
lessened number of chores to be
done by young boys and girls.
Chores are defined as the
regular or daily light work to
be done on a farm or in a home,
but some of them were none
too light. On the farm, as soon
as he was able to assume any
responsibility, a young boy was
given such jobs as going out to
fetch the horses and cows in
from the fields in the morning,
In wintertime, the air could be
mighty frosty at the beginning
of the day and this chore was
no cinch, but in summer the air
often was clear and fresh and
the only drawback to being out
working was the earliness of
the hour. Farm chores usually
started right at or even before
daybreak, especially in the
planting, cultivating and harvest seasons.
Then the various animals
had to be fed their grain and hay
the horses, mules, oxen, cows,
calves, sheep, pigs, chickens,
ducks, geese and other fowl.
And that meant shelling and
grinding corn. Some, usually
a boy or girl, also had to gather
the eggs from nests in the barn,
chicken house and other odd
places where the hens may have
wandered.
In addition to being fed, the

animals also had to be watered,
which meant laboriously pumping water into troughs, tanks,
and pails, unless the windmill
happened to be working at
the time. And when the stock
had been watered, there was
water to be pumped and carried into the kitchen for cooking, cleaning and washing, and
the Saturday night bath. Since
the used water had to be carried
back out, the same way it came
in in pails it is no wonder
that water was used sparingly
in those days. The farm boy
also was expected to help milk
the cows twice a day when he
became old enough, and sister
joined in, too, at the proper age.
When a boy was big enough,
he cleaned out the stalls occupied by the cows and horses
and brought fresh straw for the
animals.
When all those chores had
been tended to, the male youngster turned his attention to the
woodpile, where he sawed logs
with his bucksaw, split them
with his axe, and carried the
firewood to the pile, the wood-
shed, the wood closet, or the
wood box in the kitchen next to
the stove.
And if he was found with
time on his hands, the farm boy
was assigned to such special
chores as gathering nuts, picking and paring apples, gathering berries, shelling peas, splitting shoe pegs, and collecting
hog bristles. When there were
no chores to be done at the
moment, he could slip away for
some hunting, trapping, fishing,
or swimming in the ole swimming hole.
Youngsters who lived in town
also had their chores, some
of which existed on the farm.
Young girls were expected to
help with carding wool, setting
dye, scouring pewter, hatcheling flax, spinning thread and
yard, and weaving such items as
suspenders, garters, and candlewicks, watch bands, and tapers.
They helped clean and fill the
kerosene lamps and trim the
wicks, assisted in making candles, stirred batter and icing,
and so on, in addition to such
modern tasks as bed making,
dusting, and dish washing.
Chores for the town boy consisted of shoveling coal into the
furnace, shaking the grates, carrying out ashes, beating carpets,
emptying slop jars, grinding coffee, shining shoes for the family,
and helping with other chores
which his sister performed.
There never was a dull moment,
nor an idle one, if it could be
helped.

The mothers of two teenage
girls killed last May in a threecar wreck near Scipio delivered
a scathing attack on Anderson
County Sheriff Darin Dalsing
and County attorney Fred
Campbell at Mondays county
commission meeting, saying
the elected officials incompetence and lack of action had
allowed the woman responsible
for their deaths to escape criminal charges. Though Dalsing
admitted his department erred
the night of the accident investigation by not having a camera available to photograph the
scene, he said the investigation
had been conducted and the
report turned over to the county attorneys office. Campbell
told the women he is still waiting for the return of an accident
reconstruction report from the
Kansas Highway Patrol before
he can determine what, if any,
charges can be filed.
While the additional onecent sales tax vote coming up in
November may seem like a relatively painless way for Anderson
County residents to fund construction of a new county jail,
Ray Beckman says the new tax
would deliver a solid blow to
his auto dealership in Garnett.
Beckman Motors new and used
car sales and service amount to
the largest collection of sales
tax in Anderson County some
$217,000 last year and totaling a
full third of the countys entire
sales tax collection. Beckman
says the new tax would give bigticket shoppers enough incentive to buy from his neighboring
competitors in other counties.

W. H. Manners says he
doesnt pretend to be much of
a farmer just a retired merchant, still, he has his ideas
about how farming ought to be
done and he put those ideas into
practice. Sometimes, the ideas
prove good ones and sometimes,
he makes mistakes, just like
other folks. Well, last season, he
bought a hundred-ton silo. Last
season he had to scratch around
pretty lively for stuff to put in
the silo, and then only put up 35
tons, part of it oats that hadnt
done very well. That 35 tons of
silage lasted 35 head of stock up
to May 10, when pastures were
fine. Mr. Manners was so well
pleased that he made sure of
enough stuff to fill his silo this
season. He figured 12 acres of
kaffir corn would fill it. When
the proper time came, he could
only get into it six acres of the
kaffir corn and found that he
needed another silo to the same
capacity. He got to figuring the
money value of his six acres
of silage and found that his six
acres are worth $1,000. What
crop can a farmer raise in this
country that will make him that
much money? The experience
has proven to him the value of
the silo.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, October 16, 2012
A question
to answer?
In Matthew 16, Jesus asks
the disciples a general question. Who do people say the
Son of Man is? They replied,
Some say John the Baptist;
others say Elijah; and still
others Jeremiah or one of the
prophets. Jesus then asks a
very specific question. Who
do you say I am? Simon Peter
answered, You are the Christ
the Son of the Living God.
Each of us has to answer
this question for ourselves.
I know personally there are
times when I feel much closer
to Christ than at other times.
In those times when I dont feel
his presence as much, I believe
he uses those times to grow
me up in the faith. He allows
situations, circumstances and
people to affect our lives. The
way we handle these situations,
circumstances and people goes
a long way toward answering
the question he asked of the
disciples. In Matthew 5:14-16;
Jesus says, You are the light
of the world. A city on a hill
cannot be hidden. Neither do
people light a lamp and put
it under a bowl. Instead they
put it on its stand, and it gives
light to everyone in the house.
In the same way let your light
shine before men that they may
Weekly
Devotional
by David Bilderback
see your good deeds and praise
your Father in heaven.
If Jesus truly is our Lord and
Savior we put out light, others
see that light and are affected
by it. I certainly was affected
by the life my grandmother
Bilderback lived. I remember
her reading the Bible with a
lighted magnifying glass. I saw
how much she loved the Lord.
There can only be one
answer to the question Jesus
asks. John the Baptist refers to
Jesus as the lamb who takes
away the sin of the world.
John the Apostle stated that,
the Word became flesh and
made his dwelling among us.
My answer to Jesus would be
You are the Christ the Son of
the Living God. What would
your answer be if Jesus ask
you the question, Who do you
say I am?
