Anti-windmill Kids shouldnt worry about losing their moms
group targets
zoning laws
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Proposal would ban
all commercial wind
farms from county
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – A group opposed
to building wind farms in
Anderson County has asked
county officials to adopt zoning rules that would specifically prohibit commercial wind
farm development.
A large group of supporters of Landowners Against
Windmills (LAW) converged
on the Anderson County
Planning Commission meeting Monday, Oct. 17, to support
the zoning proposal. The plan
asks the county to adopt zoning regulations similar to those
in Wabaunsee County, which
places restrictions on development of commercial-scale wind
farms and was upheld by the
Kansas Supreme Court. Other
counties in other states have
enacted similar bans on wind
development, or have targeted
specific developments through
restrictive zoning.
The Anderson County
Planning Commission is
expected to take up the matter
at its Nov. 21 meeting. LAW
members Mike Burns and Burt
Peterson said they are confident planning committee members and Anderson County
commissioners will adopt some
or all of their proposal, based
on the number of landowners
who oppose wind energy development in the county. They
estimated more than 200 property owners support LAW, and
between 75 to 100 people attended last weeks planning committee meeting. About 30 LAW
supporters filled the commission chambers, with at least
that many more people waiting
in the hallway and even more

Soybean harvest
off to late start
Recent rains soaked
fields, delayed access
for soybean harvest
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Farmers, delayed
by rain, are rushing to harvest
this years soybean crop before
the sensitive pods shatter.
Its still very early in the
soybean harvest. Shannon
Blocker, with the Frontier
Extension District in Anderson
County, offering what she
called a glorified guesstimate
that farmers so far have harvested roughly 15 percent of
the countys soybean fields.
Because of the early nature
of the harvest, it was difficult
to find estimates on the yield
qualities and quantities.
Rain storms dumped more
than 4 inches of rain over
Anderson County during the
first 10 days of October, making it impossible for farmers to
get into the fields when the soybean plants matured. Soybeans
are not the most patient of
crops, Blocker said, which
increases the risk that pods
will shatter or split.
Shatter is the process of soybean plants re-seeding themselves. The pods split open as
the seam attachment breaks
down.
Anderson Countys soybean
harvest started later than other
area counties because of the
rain. Although various areas

Girls pink lemonade stand supports WINGS
Trio turns fun into service
by expanding pink lemonade
stand, donating proceeds
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Many little girls like the
color pink. But for three Garnett girls,
pink means more than princesses and
pretty clothes. It means charity and
strength, health and support. And by
incorporating pink into an annual lemonade stand, the girls have raised more
than $1,000 this past year for WINGS, a
local group that supports women and
others who have fought cancer.
The girls – sisters Josie Miller, age
11, and Jordan Miller, age 9; and their
friend, Eva Bures, age 10 – donate the
proceeds from their annual Mothers
Day lemonade stand to WINGS. The
stand made $700 in May. The girls organized a second stand in conjunction with
the WINGS Walk A Mile In Her Shoes
5k event Oct. 1 in conjunction with
Breast Cancer Awareness Month in
October. That stand made $380.
The stand began a few years ago when
the Miller girls, who live in the country, wanted to have a lemonade stand
for fun. Their parents, Jason and Erin
Miller, own and operate Garnett Flowers
& Gifts in Garnett, which provided an
ideal highway location to attract customers.
The girls knew immediately they
wanted to donate any money raised from
the lemonade stand. The flower shop
sold items in support of WINGS, so it
seemed like the perfect option.
I think its important to help other
people, Jordan Miller said.
I like giving the money to WINGS. I
feel happy when I give it to them, Josie
Miller said.
Eva Bures joined the group the next
year. The girls sold pink lemonade and
baked goods like cookies and cupcakes,
all with a pink theme. Bures quickly
recognized the importance of good marketing: Customers couldnt resist little
girls sitting at their moms store in the
hot sun.
All three of the girls said theyve
been touched by the stories of people
theyve met through the lemonade stand.
Customers often share their stories, or
the story of a loved one who fought
cancer. Eva Bures knew her mom had
friends who battled breast cancer. She
saw how the devastating effects of cancer can hurt loved ones, too.
I realized it made my mom really
sad, Eva Bures said.
The significance of having their lemonade stand on Mothers Day is intentional, Eva Bures said: Moms, and all
women, are so important. Kids shouldnt
worry about losing their moms to cancer.
The first couple of years, the stands
brought in $72 and $100. But this past
year, Eva Bures mom, Stacey, advertised the stand via social media. The
customers and donations poured in, and
the girls raised about $700.

outside the building.
Wabaunsee Countys zoning
law targets the development
of wind projects on private
lands. Wind farm supporters
and industry representatives
say that could set a dangerous
precedent, as it could restrict
property owners rights.
But thats the purpose of zoning laws in general, Burns said.
Most people wouldnt question
a governing bodys right to
determine whether a commercial business or a power plant
should be built in the middle
of a residential area in the city
limits without considering the
needs of the neighboring property owners, he said. Rural
property owners have the same
rights, Burns argued.
I find it disturbing to think
someone can do anything they
want without consideration of
their neighbors, he said.
Wabaunsee Countys zoning
law, though, benefited from
having part of the area in the
Flint Hills, which is protected
by state law from wind energy development. Burns argued
Anderson Countys higher population density makes
zoning restrictions even more
essential, because more people
would be impacted.
The countys rules on
issuing special use permits
requires officials to consider
what Peterson called an acid
test: Under current zoning
laws, county officials need
to weigh the character of the
neighborhood, zoning and
uses of nearby properties, the
suitability of the property and
mitigation measures to minimize impacts on surrounding
properties or services.
Windmills cant ever pass
that test, Peterson argued. It
doesnt fit the neighborhood
and theres no way to mitigate the impact of a windmill.
(Farms are) used for agriculture, not a power plant.
Last weeks zoning proposal
is the latest volley in the battle
over wind energy development
in Anderson County. In the fall
of 2015, a Texas-based energy
company, Calpine Corporation,
announced plans to build a 200

FEBRUARY 7, 1955-OCTOBER 16, 2016
Christa Lynn Griffiths,
age 61, of Rawlins, Wyoming,
formerly of Garnett, Kansas,
passed away on Sunday,
October 16, 2016, at her home.
Christa was born February
7, 1955 at
Garnett,
Kansas. She
was the first
of five children
born
to
Omer
and Connie
(Holloran)
Hermreck.
Griffiths
C h r i s t a
grew
up
in Garnett, attending Holy
Angels School and graduating
from Garnett High School in
1973. Following high school,
she worked as a C.N.A. at the
Anderson County Hospital and
local nursing homes for several
years. Christa married Bobby
Griffiths, and they were blessed
with one son, R.J. They made
their home in Garnett before
moving to Salina, Kansas and
then eventually moving to
Rawlins, Wyoming. Christa
later returned to Garnett to
care for her mother until her
passing. In the years following
her mothers passing, Christa
spent time in Garnett and
Rawlins.
Christas life was guided by
her devotion to faith, family
and friends. She absolutely
loved her family and friends.
Her ability to recall birthdays,
special events and dates is a
resource that her family will
miss dearly. Christa was the

LAW formed quickly in opposition and attracted followers who started placing No
Windmills signs throughout
the county. Vandals targeted
both sides, destroying some of
those signs as well as Calpines
weather-monitoring equipment. A 300-foot tower was
destroyed in May, with damages in excess of $200,000. The
case was declared domestic
terrorism and is under investigation by the FBI.
Despite filing an application with the FAA in June to
rebuild the tower, construction
has not started and some say
theyve been told Calpine does
not intend to rebuild it. Calpine
officials have not returned multiple calls for updates from this
newspaper over the past month
and even supporters say they
have not heard from them,
leading to speculation that the
company may have abandoned
the project.
Regardless of Calpines
plans, Burns said its important for the county to decide its
stand on wind energy development. Calpine isnt the first
company to attempt to pursue a wind farm in Anderson
County. A Lenexa company in
2009 proposed a 200MW wind
farm in southeast Anderson
County but later abandoned its
plans.
At least 22 wind farms currently are operating in Kansas
and another six or so are under
construction, according to the
Kansas Energy Information
Network. About 60 other wind
energy projects have been proposed in Kansas in the past 15
or 20 years, although many of
those have been abandoned.

WINGS…

In Need Gaining Strength,
began through the efforts of
Deb McMahon and Michelle
Hermreck as a way to help
local people, particularly
women battling breast cancer,
although the group provides
support for people with a variety of health-related needs. The
group helps pay for mammograms, office visits and gas
cards to help people travel for
treatment. Anderson County
Hospital sends the group a bill
for the services it provides;
since August, WINGS has paid
for $5,400 worth of care.
The group has grown over
the years and receives donations from a variety of organizations, businesses and individuals. Some groups organize
special fundraising events.
WINGSs biggest fundraiser is
selling T-shirts in October.
Hermreck said she is
impressed by the dedication of
the Miller and Bures girls. She
witnessed them sit through
all kinds of weather to offer
their lemonade stand, including freezing cold temperatures.
She and McMahon have gotten
to know the girls well.
To have little kids do something like that is pretty awesome, and its a testament to
having the support of great parents, Hermreck said.
As the popularity of the
annual lemonade stand spread,
WINGS organizers invited the
girls to set up the booth at the
October WINGS Walk. With
the full support of WINGS
behind them, the girls went allout, wearing pink wigs, pink
tutus and pink jewelry to help
sell their pink cupcakes and
pink cookies and pink lemonade.
Their success has encouraged the girls to continue
and strive to set higher goals.
Jordan Miller said she wants
to see next years stand raise
even more money than they
raised this year. The girls have
asked their school principal to
include information about the
stand during announcements,
so that their friends and fellow students will support
their work, and they plan to
use social media again to help
spread the word. They know
theyll need to advertise their
efforts in order to reach their
goal.
Mom Stacey Bures said the
girls came to her and asked
for help to get the word out.
Otherwise, the girls are in
charge.
They knew this was something they could do to help,
Stacey Bures said. This hasnt
been a passing fancy for them.
This is something theyre dedicated to.
Josie and Jordans mom,
Erin Miller, said she also is
impressed with the girls commitment to an important cause.
Im very proud to see
theyre interested in helping
their community.

And although grain sorghum, or milo, isnt nearly as

farmers who need to harvest

complications of influenza.
Youre not getting the flu
shot just for you. You do it
to protect everyone around
you, Casey Smith, pharmacist at AuBurn Pharmacy in
Garnett, said. Dont think of
it as something you do just
for yourself. Youre doing it to
protect young kids and elderly
who werent able to get a flu
shot.
Although flu cases started
popping up in September, it
didnt turn into an outbreak,
Nathan Wiehl, Director of
Clinical Services for AuBurn,
said. Flu outbreaks in this area
typically start in January or
February, although its becoming more common to see outbreaks as late as March and
April, or as early as September
and October.
The most important thing
is to get vaccinated as soon as
possible, Wiehl said. I usually recommend getting vaccinated up to two weeks prior to
Thanksgiving. Holiday travel
can send outbreaks all over the
country.
The flu shot is offered at
various locations in the area.
It typically is covered by
insurance and Medicaid and
Medicare programs. Local providers include:
The Southeast Kansas
Multi-County
Health
Departments
Anderson
County Office at 301 S Vine
St, in Garnett. Call to set up
an appointment, (785) 448-6559.
Open Monday-Thursday, 7 a.m.
to 5:30 p.m.
The health department
offers a wide variety of immunizations, including flu shots.
The department offers The
Vaccines For Children (VFC)
program, a federally funded
program that provides vaccines at no cost to children who
might not otherwise be vaccinated because of inability to
pay. Contact the office to see if
you qualify.
Garnett Family Care
Center, 536 W 4th Ave, Garnett,
(785) 448-2674.
To obtain a flu shot, call
to set up an appointment.
Appointments typically are
available the day you call. Plan
to spend at least 15 minutes
because of a new CDC requirement to make sure the patient
does not have a bad reaction to
the shot.
The Family Care Center
will bill medical insurance, Medicare or Medicaid,
although only children on
Medicaid are covered at this
location. For those not covered
by insurance, the flu shot costs
$67 for ages 26 months to 64;
and $99 for ages 65 and older.
AuBurn Pharmacy, 429 N.
Maple St., Garnett, (785) 4486122. Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.
to 7 p.m., Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to
4 p.m.
The pharmacy offers a walkin clinic at any time during
business hours. The process
takes about 5 minutes per person. Several varieties of flu
vaccine are available, starting
at $37.99. Typically, there is no
charge for someone who is covered by Medicare.
The pharmacy also offers
other immunizations, such as
for pneumonia and shingles.

Smith, the pharmacist, recommends someone who comes in
for the flu shot should also get
any other needed immunizations at the same time.
Medicine Shoppe, 427 S
Oak St., Garnett, (785) 448-6650.
Does not offer flu shots
because the service requires
additional certification.
Why vaccinate?
It is important for everyone
6 months and older to get a
flu vaccine each year to help
prevent against the flu and to
protect from spreading it to
others. It is especially important for people at high risk of
developing a flu-related complication to get vaccinated.
This includes; children under
5; adults 65 years and older;
pregnant women, and up to two
weeks post-partum; and residents of nursing homes and
other long-term care facilities.
The seasonal flu vaccine
protects against influenza
viruses that research indicates
will be most common during
this season. It takes about two
weeks after vaccination for the
antibodies to provide protection against infection.
There are several flu vaccine options for the 2016-2017
flu season.
For more information about
influenza and the flu vaccine,
visit www.cdc.gov.
The flu (influenza) is caused
by a virus that is easily spread.
A flu vaccine protects you and
others from the flu. Its best to
get a flu shot each fall, as soon
as the vaccine is available in
your area. You can get it at your
healthcare providers office
or a health clinic. Drugstores,
senior centers, and workplaces
often offer flu shots, too. If you
want to know if your provider
has the flu vaccine available,
or if you have other questions,
ask your healthcare provider.
Flu facts
The flu shot will not give
you the flu.
The flu can be dangerous
even life-threatening. Every
year, about 36,000 people die
from complications from the
flu.
The flu is caused by a
virus. It cant be treated with
antibiotics.
Influenza is not the same
as stomach flu, the 24-hour
bug that causes vomiting and
diarrhea. This is most likely
because of a GI (gastrointestinal) infectionnot the flu.
You need to get a flu shot
each year.
Flu shot
The shot is available in a
few different forms. There is
a high-dose vaccine for those
over 65 and a vaccine for those
with egg allergies. It is safe for
most people.
Talk
with your provider if you have
had:
A severe allergic reaction
to a previous flu vaccine
Guillain-Barr syndrome.
This is a severe paralyzing condition.
Nasal spray
The nasal spray is not recommended for the 2016-2017 flu
season. The CDC says this is
because the nasal spray did not
seem to protect against the flu
over the last several flu seasons. In the past, it was meant
for people ages 2 to 49.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, October 25, 2016
OPINION
Cheating Democrats
kill elections integrity
With the release last week of undercover investigation videos that provide the details of the
Democrat partys mechanism for mass scale voting fraud, Kansans can take heart in the voter ID
initiatives undertaken by Secretary of State Kris
Kobach to protect the integrity of Kansas elections.
Similarly, those videos also provide an answer
as to why certain special interests, media and others both inside and outside Kansas borders have
attacked Kobachs and the Kansas Legislatures
efforts to strengthen voter identification. Indeed,
effective voter ID is a threat to those who bank on
rigging and stealing elections.
The Project Veritas video shows a lengthy conversation between the undercover reporter and
Scott Foval, who at the time was Deputy Director
at People For the American Way, a Democrat
political action organization funded by George
Soros. Foval explains in detail how the organization orchestrates voter fraud in states with lax
or no voter ID laws, even down to details about
having illegal voters drive their own cars or rented ones to elections as opposed to being bused en
masse. According to the plan, shell companies are
set up to funnel payments to those thugs and to
obtain vehicles for them. Foval was forthright as
well about the ultimate goal:
You implement a massive change in state
legislatures and in Congress, Foval says on the
video. So you aim higher for your goals and you
implement it across every Republican-held state.
At the time the video was shot the group was
planning its assault against Michigan and Indiana
voter precincts.
Foval was fired from Americans United For
Change, another liberal political action organization and his latest employer, a few days later.
The Foval footage is confirmed by additional
undercover video shot of Alan Schulkin, at the
time Commissioner of the Board of Elections in
New York City, during a holiday party sponsored
by the United Federation of Teachers in late 2015.
Schulkin discusses candidly how organizers bus
illegal voters into precincts to ensure wins for
selected candidates, particularly in minority precincts, and also how absentee ballots in the State
of New York which of course has no voter ID
laws are fertile grounds for tampering.
The skullduggery doesnt end with vote rigging. Other Veritas videos show Foval and Robert
Creamer, a Democrat operative whose organi-

zation assisted the Hillary Clinton campaign,
describing how they recruit, train, pay and position leg breakers at Trump rallies. The idea, like
the one that ended in the cancellation of Trumps
March 11 rally in Chicago, is to try to goad Trump
supporters into fights so the media cameras will
capture the violence and impugn the character of
the candidate and his followers. Creamer is the
husband of Illinois Democrat congresswoman Jan
Schakowsky, whose own re-election campaign
is now compromised because of what she may
have known of his actions. Creamer opted to step
back from Hillary Clintons campaign after the
video circulated, so as not to be a distraction.
Since the FBI refused to charge Hillary Clinton
for mishandling classified communications and
destroying public records, theres little chance
any of these players or the Democratic National
Committee will face racketeering charges for
inciting violence against Americans pursuing
their First Amendment rights. At least against
Democrats, enforcement of federal law these days
seem shakily applied.
But illegality at the polls is a crime pressed at
the state level. Defending against election thievery
is up to state legislators, secretaries of state, even
the election judges who work individual polls.
The American ideal is that elections must reflect
truth, honesty and the confidence of the people.
The Veritas videos show us those polls have been
and are under siege by Democrats more concerned
with winning than democracy.
Thank goodness in Kansas we have defended
those voting polls, and we have Kris Koback and
the legislature to thank for elections that are true.

Clintons insincere, arrogant campaign
The website PolitiFact jumped all over
Rudy Giuliani earlier this year when he said,
Hillary Clinton is for open borders.
It spent about 700 words sifting through
the evidence, and ended up rating the former
New York City mayors claim false. Now
we know that PolitiFact blew its call because
it lacked access to the most important datum
— Hillary Clintons real view.
For that, it would have had to be present
at one of her paid speeches at a major financial institution, in this case the Brazilian
bank Banco Itau. In May 2013, Clinton told
her audience at the bank, My dream is
a hemispheric common market, with open
trade and open borders. Ding, ding, ding
— theres the magic phrase, in Hillarys own
words.
The excerpt from Hillarys speech comes
courtesy of the massive WikiLeaks dump
of pilfered emails — probably by Russian
hackers — from the account of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta. The hack is
illuminating insofar as it illustrates how
progressives think and talk in private — i.e.,
about how youd expect.
The frank advocacy of open borders is
now so radioactive that even the editorial
page of The Wall Street Journal will no longer associate itself with it (once upon a time,
the paper routinely called for an open-borders amendment to the U.S. Constitution).
Talk of open borders has consequentially

retreated behind closed doors.
A faux cosmopolitanism is a thread running through the WikiLeaks emails. If you
think Clinton aides root for terrorist acts not
to be committed by Muslims, lest political
and policy complications ensue, youre right.
Hillary aide Karen Finney sent John
Podesta an email in December 2015 about the
San Bernardino shooting. She wrote damn,
and forwarded a tweet from MSNBC journalist Chris Hayes relating that one of the
shooters was named Syed Farook. Podesta
lamented that it wasnt instead a journalist
named Syed Farook reporting on a shooting
by Chris Hayes, who has a much more convenient, Irish surname.
A certain highhandedness and bad faith
pervades the entire Clinton campaign.
Hillary Clinton was perfectly comfortable
with the globe-trotting financiers throwing
six-figure speaking fees at her, but then
had to turn around and shovel boob bait
for Bubba at her partys inflamed left-wing
activists, who hate those very financiers
and their views on trade, among many other
things.
The Clinton campaigns predicament was
captured in microcosm by spokesman Brian
Fallon. In September 2015, he worried about
an op-ed attacking the Keystone Pipeline
that, he notes, had already been extensively
edited and re-edited. As secretary of state,
Clinton had, reasonably enough, indicated
shed likely support the pipeline, and now
she was coming out against it. Will her
newly aggressive opposition, Fallon wondered, be greeted cynically and perhaps as
part of some manufactured attempt to project sincerity?
Yeah, probably — like much of what she
says and does. Such was Clintons manifest
weakness in March 2016 that a friendly liberal columnist sent a worried email to John
Podesta. Right now, the columnist warned,
I am petrified that Hillary is almost totally dependent on Republicans nominating
Trump. Sounds right. It always pays to be
lucky, rather than good — or sincere.

Former gov has practical advice to candidates
Now, whether you are a fan of Democratic
former Kansas Gov. John Carlin or not, he
last week provided a little common-sense campaign advice that you have to hope all candidates for the Legislature are taking seriously.
Because while it is important for
Democrats, it is probably more important for
Republicans, especially those seeking seats in
the House.
His advice: Tell the voters you make your
pitch to for a vote for House or Senate that the
states budget/tax/education problems arent
going to be solved in just one or two sessions
of the Legislature.
Thats from a guy who has experience running a state as governor (1979-1987), as a House
member (1970-1979) and running the Kansas
House of Representatives as its Speaker for
two of those years. Oh, and hes been politically tumble-dried a time or two so he is also
very practical. He knows government from
the inside and outside.
His advice to candidatesespecially for
the Houseis that all of them, presumably
Democratic first, but also Republicans (though
he obviously favors the moderate Republicans
who vote along with Democrats on occasion)
tell voters that the states fiscal and other
problems arent going to be fixed in two years,
and that voters ought to realize that there are
going to be some uncomfortable votes ahead.
Hes undoubtedly right. The budget shortfalls, the taxation of Kansans, providing adequate state aid for public schools, providing
health care for poor Kansans and their childrenthese arent issues that can be wrapped
up quickly. Not during one two-year House
STATE COMMENTARY

term, and probably not in the first three, or
maybe even four, years of a State Senate term.
So, the newly elected lawmakers do their
best, changes tax rates that thousands of
Kansans (those LLCs, farmers and the self-employed) are going to wince aboutbut know
need to be raised or at least imposedand get
voted out of office after one term?
Thats a possibility, and one that Carlin
thought that candidates ought to explain to
their voters.
Now, lets see what needs to be done.
The tax experiment that Gov. Sam
Brownback supported apparently hasnt
worked. The state didnt see a dramatic economic boost through exempting more than
300,000 of us from state income tax. The school
finance issue has essentially frozen spending
on educating the kids. The highwayswell,
theyre apparently third-best in the nation,
but its hard to know how long that is going
to last. And, health care for the states poor is
going downstream, and hospitals in western
Kansas are in financial jeopardy.
Lots to fix, and theres probably more, but
the fixes arent going to be easy or politically
popular when for most Kansans and probably
most Americans politicians get graded on
what the tax bill adds up to.
The focus will, of course, be on those twoyear House terms, because about the time the
state starts seeing fiscal/governmental daylight, those newly elected members will stand
for re-election.
Anyone figure that were going to see
bumper stickers in 2018 reading Im nearly
done raising your taxes, so re-elect me to the
House? Probably not.
But its clear that fixing a government that
has been rolling downhill for the past four
years isnt going to be done quickly; there are
going to be good decisions and bad decisions
and anyone expecting a two-year fix is probably over-optimistic.
So, how does this work out? Hard to say
whether voters now are ready to see that their
newly elected House and Senate members are
going to inconvenience them for at least two
years and ought to get second terms.
After all, whens the last time you asked for
two dates?

Hey, guess what, our city manager has the
same fake smile as Hillary Clinton. What do
you think of that?
Is there any way to do a no confidence vote in
the city commissioners? Each and every one
of them for their hysterics and their betrayal?
Just wanted to know if anybodys thinking the
same thing I am.
I would like to apologize to the Amish community for the narrow minded comment made by
an Englisher whose culture wars are feeling
threatened. To the Amish basher I invite him
to volunteer a year of his time to go to the
Amazonian rain forest and attempt to explain
to the indigenous people there that a toddler
shouldnt play with a machete. I would also
want to warn you that they would say its part
of their way of life and that its necessary to
know how to handle a machete to survive.
They would also say you are crazy to protect
children every moment of their lives. How can
they learn to survive in the world? Also to the
basher I would like to state dont try to pass
blame onto someone else. It would seem to me
you are the one not paying attention while
driving. Just like the old school rhyme goes:
he who smelt it dealt it.
In a late-term abortion they cut the fetus into
pieces and crush its skull to kill it before they
take it out. The reason is that if they killed it
once it was outside the womb, it would be murder in any state. Hillary Clinton is in favor of
late-term abortion. I am heartsick to see my
neighbors who have Hillary Clinton signs in
their yards and to know they support this terrible thing. Thank you.

comes to an end
My latest archaeological project came to an end on 17 October,
2016. It was the site of an old
Hotel built in 1885 for railroad
workers and later became a private residence. All that remains
today are: three or four large
trees; the decayed stumps of two
old cedar trees that stood on each
side of the front sidewalk; an old
covered well; a few sections of the
front and back sidewalks and a
slight depression where the hotel
once stood.
No one seems to know when it
was torn down, moved to another location, or perhaps burned
down. I myself believe it was
burned, perhaps struck by lightening, accidental or intentionally
set on fire. Why do I think this?
Because of the amount of square
nails found and evidence of charcoal and ash. A few foundation
stones uncovered show signs of
being exposed to very intense
heat.
This project was not only a lot
of fun to do, but very exciting and
quite rewarding. A few exam-

boys make state
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COUNCIL GROVE – This past
Saturday, the Central Heights
Cross Country boys team qualified for the State Championship
for the first time since 2003 with
a runner-up finish at the Class
3A Regional Meet at Canning
Creek Cove in Council Bluffs.
As expected, head coach
Troy Prosser was ecstatic with
the boys making it to state in
what he considered one of the
toughest in all of 3A with what
he estimated 7 or more teams
being capable of making it to
state.
As it unfolded, I knew that
every single place by every one
of my runners would be crucial, Prosser stated.
That couldnt have been
more accurate as only one
point separated the Vikings
from the third place team and
only 6 points from finishing
fourth and missing state com-
pletely.
Prosser added, It feels like it
has been a long road, but this
team has accomplished a lot in
a short time this year.
The
3A
Boys
State
Championship will be at
Rim Rock Farm just north of
Lawrence. The boys will kick
off the action at 10:00 a.m.
Saturday morning, October
29th.

Girards power was a defining point in the match.
We had trouble with

ACH Auxiliary
offers Vials of Life
Being armed with
vital, perhaps life-saving
information, in a medical emergency in your
home is something we,
young and young-atheart, all must seriously
consider. To that end,
the Anderson County
Hospital Auxiliary is
conducting a campaign
to supply everyone, especially those with medical
issues, with Vials of Life.
The Vial of Life is
designed to speak for you
when you cant speak
for yourself, when you
are confused, in pain or
scared during an emergency medical situation.
The first thing emergency
responders want to know
is your list of medications. The Vial contains
that list of medications,
as well as other important medical information
that can assist emergency
responders in administering the proper treatment.
A Vial of Life kit con-
tains an empty pill bottle (the Vial) that holds
a medical information
sheet listing your medications, medical problems, etc; a window/door
cling to alert emergency
responders that there is
information to be found
inside the home; and
a magnet to put on the
refrigerator where the
Vial of Life kit is to be
placed. Extra medical
information sheets are
also available.
The Auxiliary was able
to put together the kits
through the cooperation
with Auburn Pharmacy,
who donated the pill bottles and labels, and Doug
Archer, who designed the
labels.
If you are interested
in obtaining a free Vial
of Life kit, contact Janice
Hodgson, 448-6118, Betty
Lybarger, 448-6673, Joen
Truhe, 448-3882, or Nancy
Horn, 448-6544.

Your birthday is
a selling event
Everybody has a birthday
use yours to help you sell stuff.
Your business birthday is
an important event think of it
this way if not for your business birth, you wouldnt be in
business right now!
Remember back when you
were 6 what was it that was so
cool about your birthday? The
answer is simple it was all
about you! Your birthday party
was your deal, and for at least a
few hours you were the center
of attention.
Follow that into adult life.
What does every company do
when some worker has a birthday? Obviously, we have cake
or cupcakes or ice cream or
something some kind of a
little party to make that person
feel special. Face it, we all love
a party especially if theres
cake!
Your business birthday is
an easy excuse to make yourself special for a day and to
make everyone else pay attention to you. The opportunities
to promote your birthday and
promote yourself to existing
customers and possible new
ones abound:
Offer a percent-off discount
for the number of years you are
old, or some derivative thereof; you can make it for existing customers to help reward
them;
Throw a cocktail party or
after hours event and invite
VIP customers;
Have a birthday breakfast at your location and be
sure to promote it in advance
with in-store signage, flyers,
and your Facebook, email, TV,
radio and newspaper ads;
Use the opportunity to talk

HOW TO SELL STUFF

about your history how your
business was founded, your
amazing success stories, interesting trivia, etc.;
Remember, if youre going
to have an open house type
event, its got to be interesting to visitors. A tour through
your barbershop will look like
any other barbershop; but if
you have a barbershop quartet
performance now thats different;
Entertainment can be
cheap and effective at the same
time. Dont forget your local
high school has bands, drama
classes, chorale groups, FFA
meat judging teams all kinds
of talent that will bring in a
crowd if you give them a venue
in which to perform;
Have vendor reps come in
to promote your product with
info, seminars and samples;
Have a birthday cookout
with free food if the weathers
good.
Let your birthday work for
you and help you sell stuff!

COUNTY
Kansas Tourism BUSINESS DIRECTORY
continues growth
4×12.5
Check your local area businesses first – keep your local dollars at home!
TOPEKA According to
research done for the Kansas
Department of Wildlife, Parks
and Tourism (KDWPT), travel
and tourism in the Sunflower
State continued a six-year
growth trend with solid gains
during calendar year 2015.
Visitation moved upward to
35.4 million, a gain of 900,000
over 2014 and equivalent to
everyone from Texas, Nebraska
and Missouri visiting Kansas
once a year.
Traveler spending increased
to $6.5 billion in 2015, about
what all Americans spent on
food for July 4th and $261 million more than 2014. Lodging
expenditures, food and beverage sales and retail spending
showed the strongest growths.
The figures are based on a
report by Tourism Economics,
a company that specializes in
analyzing and reporting on economic impacts of tourism.
The variety of attractions
and experiences in our state
increasingly have become destinations for non-residents
and visitors from many foreign countries, said Linda
Craghead, KDWPT Assistant
Secretary for Parks and
Tourism. Not only that,
Kansans themselves are awakening to our amazing opportunities to travel and enjoy
the many things the great
Sunflower State has to offer.
The benefits to our economy
are enormous. If our tourism
industry were a single business, it would rank #402 on the
Fortune 500 list.
When indirect and induced
impacts are included, Kansas
travelers in 2015 generated
$10.4 billion in total business
sales. The growth of travel
spending has averaged 5.5%
per year since 2009, a total
increase of $1.8 billion. Kansas
travelers directly and indirectly sustained 94,126 jobs in 2015,
with a combined income of $2.9
billion.
The benefits of tourism
extend to state and local governments, as well. Tourismsupported direct and indirect
tax revenues in 2015 surpassed
$1 billion and included $588
million in state and local governmental revenues. Of the
$272 million in state revenues,
$186 million accrued from sales
tax collections. Local governments received $316 million in
tax receipts from travel-generated activity. If the state and
local tax revenues from visitor activity were absent, each
Kansas household would need
to pay $525 to replace those revenues.

Will God turn his Guilfoyle 85th birthday DAR Junior American
Citizen Contest
face away from us?
In Isaiah 59:1-2, the prophet issues a stern warning.
Behold the Lords hand is not
shortened, that it cannot hear;
but your iniquities have made
a separation between you and
God, and your sins have hidden
his face from you so that he
does not hear. The prophet
is speaking to Israel concerning their irresponsible leaders,
idolatry, evil and oppression.
When Isaiah refers to irresponsible leadership he is criticizing the people for ignoring
the prophets, including himself, that God has sent. These
prophets were Gods spiritual watchman. Today as well
as then through irresponsible
leadership at all levels, including the church, we as a country have lost our way. What
was once crystal clear has now
become blurred.
Isaiah also issues a warning to Israel concerning idol
worship. Israel had ceased
worshipping God and began
worshipping idols, which were
a representation or symbol of
an object of worship. These
were wood, silver, gold or iron
man-made objects for worship.
They had no life or power, no
ability to do anything for the
holder. Perhaps the best definition of an idol is something
we ourselves make into a god.
It can be anything that stands
between us and God or something we substitute for God.
Idol worship is alive and well
today. It can be objects such
as houses, land, cars, people or

By David Bilderback
those we love. Objects of worship can even include things
like fame, reputation, hobbies,
pride and deeds done in the
honor of the Lord.
With the charge of evil and
oppression Isaiah points out to
Israel that they do not hesitate
to break Gods laws, they fail to
offer help to those in need and
the poor are oppressed.
As for this country we are
under attack from afar as well
as from within. Isaiah says
in 59:26; And your sins have
hidden his, (Gods) face from
you so that he does not hear.
Isaiah is presenting the people with the Lords complaint,
that they are faithless and
rebellious. They had lost the
vision of Gods kingdom of
righteousness, love and peace
and tried to establish their own
kingdom. When they separated
themselves from the face of God
they lost Gods blessing and
gained his curse. In the words
of Jonathan Edwards the bow
is bent and all that remains
is for God to let the arrow fly
across our great nation. If he
turns his face from us it will be
too late we will be like Israel,
under the curse.

Sewing club meets
The Zig Zag Sewing Club
had a carry-in luncheon meeting October 5, 2016 at the
Woodlands Estates Community
Room, hosted by Virginia
(Tootle) Russell and Jan
Ouderkirk. Ten Members were
present. October is our White
Elephant sale which produces
revenue for our club to use in
our funds to help the needy at
Christmas time. Lots of laughs
and fun was had by all as we
dispensed the items.
Birthdays recognized for the
month of October were Wilma
McIntosh, Laura Sutton and
Nancy Macnicki.
The meeting was conducted
by President, Grace Donham.
Roll call, minutes of last month
and treasurers report were
read by Sec/Treas, Jackie
Leach.
In old business, we discussed
our projects of walker bags,
winter scarves, hats and gloves
for the year 2016, reminding
members to bring them to the
next meeting in November.
Distribution of items will be
decided at that time. Judy
Wiederholt volunteered to call
Franklin Co. to check for need.
Others will check in their home
location for the need.
In new business, Mary Fagg
brought an idea for next years
project. She told us of the need
for pocket pouches for drain
bags for breast cancer patients.
More ideas will be presented
next month to add to this idea.
Door prize of a variety of
items was won by Margaret
Mumma.
Show and Tell was sparse
this month as most were concentrating on bringing items
for the white elephant sale. We
did however, have some beautiful pictures shown by Jan
Outerkirk from her stress
coloring book. Coloring books
for adults have become very
popular, recently and help
relieve stress as you contemplate the designs and colors
desired. They come in many
designs, but hers were of geometrical designs.
The next meeting will be
held at the First Presbyterian
Church in Osawatomie, hosted
by Grace Donham and Jackie
Leach on November 2, 2016.

Foreign ag land owners
need to report holdings
GARNETT Anderson County
USDA Farm Service Agency
(FSA) Executive Director Doug
Peine, reminds foreign persons
with an interest in agricultural lands in the United States
that they are required to report
their holdings and any transactions to the U.S. Secretary of
Agriculture.
Any foreign person who
acquires, transfers or holds any
interest, other than a security
interest, in agricultural land in
the United States is required by
law to report the transaction no
later than 90 days after the date
of the transaction, said Peine.
Foreign investors must
file Agricultural Foreign
Investment Disclosure Act
(AFIDA) reports with the FSA
county office that maintains
reports for the county where
the land is located.
Failure to file a report, filing a late report or filing an
inaccurate report can result in
a penalty with fines up to 25
percent of the fair market value
of the agricultural land, said
Peine.
For AFIDA purposes, agricultural land is defined as any
land used for farming, ranching or timber production, if the
tracts total 10 acres or more.
Disclosure reports are also
required when there are changes in land use. For example,
reports are required when land
use changes from nonagricultural to agricultural or from
agricultural to nonagricultural. Foreign investors must also
file a report when there is a
change in the status of ownership such as owner changes
from foreign to non-foreign,
from non-foreign to foreign or
from foreign to foreign.
Data gained from these disclosures is used to prepare an
annual report to the President
and Congress concerning the
effect of such holdings upon
family farms and rural communities in the United States.
For more information
regarding AFIDA and FSA programs, contact the Anderson
County FSA office at 785-4483128 or visit the USDA Web site

2 FALL EDITION
Special to The Anderson County Review – October 25, 2016
Conserve energy and save money this fall by
weatherizing your home with these easy tips
(BPT) – Cooler seasonal temperatures can have an impact on not only
your home, but also your wallet. Along
with adjusting your thermostat as the
cooler weather embraces much of the
country, weatherizing your home also
has a direct impact on the amount of
energy required to maintain a comfortable temperature indoors. Follow these
five easy DIY home weatherizing tips
to increase your homes energy efficiency and lower the utility bill each
month.
Turn on the humidifier. Increasing
the humidity in your home during
the cooler months adds moisture to
your living space. This raises the heat
index, making 68 degrees feel more
like 76 degrees. Be sure to maintain a
relative humidity in the home between
20 to 40 percent. As the temperature
outside drops, lower this percentage
so condensation does not form on the
windows.
Seal the gaps. Areas such as windows, doors, attic hatches, vents and
other seasonally-used areas are prime
sources for air leaks, which can cause
energy bills to skyrocket. To help
maintain a controlled climate inside
the home and prevent air from leaking
in or escaping, weatherize these areas
of your home by using a temporary
sealant.DAP Seal N Peel is an all-season, removable weather-stripping sealant you can easily apply to seal holes,
cracks and gaps where air can pass
through. Its also waterproof, low in
odor and dries to a clear finish. And
when spring comes and you want to
remove it, it peels away easily and
cleanly, leaving behind no residue.
Add extra insulation to all areas
of your home. Adding insulation to
your home reduces energy usage and
increases comfort. If your home uses
less than 12 inches of insulation, chances are heat is escaping. Add insulation
in the attic to prevent warm air from
escaping. Also consider adding insulation in crawl spaces, under floors
and against basement walls to stop the
transfer of cold through the house.
Run your fan in the proper direction. There are layers of air in every
living space that vary in degree of
temperature. Because the warmest
air is closest to the ceiling, running
your ceiling fan in a clockwise direction in the winter months pushes the
warm air up against the ceiling and
then down the walls. This recirculates
warm air through the room without a
cool breeze and offsets the workload of
the HVAC, lowering heat costs by as
much as 10 percent.
Get a home energy audit. If youve
completed the four tasks above and
your energy bill is still unusually high,
it might be time to request a home
energy audit to pinpoint problem areas
in your home. This will help identify
the problem areas and help you make
the necessary improvements for an
efficient home. In fact, you could save
5 to 30 percent on your energy bill
by repairing issues found in a home
energy audit, according to the U.S.
Department of Energy.
Bonus tip!
Invest in a programmable thermostat. Prevent working your heating
equipment overtime by installing a
programmable thermostat to automatically raise and lower the air temperature based on the time of day or
if youre away from home. By turning your thermostat back even eight
degrees for eight hours a day, you can
save as much as 10 percent on your
annual heating costs.
Why make your heating and cooling
systems work harder than they have to
each year? By taking steps to properly
weatherize your home and increase its
efficiency, youre able to maintain a
comfortable interior more easily, and
save money in the meantime.

Cozy, clean, comfortable: 5 steps for getting your home fall-ready
(BPT) – If cooler autumn weather makes you want to
get inside your home to redecorate, add new furnishings
or take other steps to settle in, youre not alone.
Rainy, snowy, cold or otherwise inclement weather
makes us more productive overall because were less
motivated to spend leisure time outside, according to
research from Harvard Business School. That helps
explain why we often get the urge to improve our surroundings, shop for new furniture or set out great-smelling candles for our homes this time of year.
Thats highly convenient, since its never too early to
start sprucing up your home and refreshing dcor for
the impending holiday season. And that nest-feathering
doesnt have to break the bank; there are plenty of ways
to make your home warm, cozy and beautiful that dont
require a huge budget. Here are a few suggestions:
1. A big fall cleaning actually makes more sense than
a spring cleaning, since youll be spending so much more
time inside. Before settling in, make an effort to wash
walls, clean floors and carpets, wipe down windows and
polish all woodwork with lemon- or orange-scented oil.
2. Start stocking your kitchen with ingredients for traditional cold-weather foods like soups, stews, casseroles,
fondue or homemade bread. For dessert, theres nothing
as comforting as the smell of warm baked goods like
cinnamon rolls or gingersnap or chocolate chip cookies.
Studies show were instinctively drawn to certain foods
during the colder months.
3. Update your dcor with a new living room, dining
room or bedroom set from Big Lots, enhancing your
familys comfort without putting you in debt. The stylish designs, rich finishes and up-to-date color palettes
of the brands new collections can help create a cozy
atmosphere that encourages your family to relax indoors
together this fall and winter.
4. Walk around your home and take a fresh look at
your wall hangings, artwork and accent pieces. Are they
being displayed to their best advantage, or are there bet-
ter arrangements that could complement your furniture
and color schemes? Seek a different perspective by taking
everything down and starting anew, or check Pinterest.
com for some inspiration. You might also browse home
furnishings stores like Big Lots to check out the newest
styles and colors.
5. Take an objective look at your interior lighting and
determine whether upgrades are in order. A wealth of
research points to how lighting directly affects mood,
and the last thing you want in the fall and winter months
is to struggle with under-lit rooms that make you tired or
less productive. These days, good lighting is available at
all price points.
Ready? Now that youve set the stage, get out your
calendar and start scheduling fun autumn get-togethers
with family and friends. Jump into the season by setting
up family game nights, beer and wine tasting parties,
football-viewing events and all kinds of other seasonal
celebrations.
FALL EDITION
Special to The Anderson County Review – October 25, 2016 3
Turn your empty attic into new living space
(BPT) – When your family outgrows
your homes available space, moving to
bigger digs isnt always the best option.
Maybe you really love your current home.
Perhaps you cant find a bigger home
in your price range in the area of your
choice. Whatever your reason for staying
in place, expanding the home you already
have can be a cost-effective option when
your family needs more room.
Converting an unused attic into a
usable living area is a reliable, cost-effective way to gain more space in a home. Its
also a good investment; when you add an
attic bedroom, you can expect to recoup
about 77 percent of the construction cost
when you resell the house, according to
Remodeling Magazines Cost vs. Value
Report.
Three time-tested techniques can help
you turn an empty attic into the extra
space you dream of:
1. Rely on natural light for beauty, visibility and cost savings.
Attics dont usually have many windows, and adding them can be difficult
if the ceiling is sloped. Adding dormers
– a typical solution – can be costly and
time-consuming, and eat up wall space
that is often at a premium in attics.
Skylights or roof windows can be a
better, more cost-effective way to bring
natural light and fresh air into an attic.
Installation is faster and cheaper than
adding dormers, and they work well on
slanted ceilings. Energy Star-qualified,
solar-powered, fresh-air skylights like
those from Velux America make it easy
and affordable to bring natural light and
fresh air into an attic space.
Add solar-powered blinds in designer colors and patterns, and the skylight
becomes an even more valuable piece of
the rooms overall decor. Solar-powered
skylights close automatically in case of
rain. They, and the blinds, are operated by
programmable remote control, making it
easy to adjust the amount of sunlight that
enters the space. Both products, plus the
installation costs, are eligible for a 30 percent federal tax credit to the homeowner.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 10-25-2016 / Brandpoint Content

2. Pay close attention to insulation.
In any home, the attic is often the hottest spot in the summer and the coldest
in the winter. The amount and quality of
insulation in the attic directly affects the
comfort level in the space – and the overall
energy efficiency of your home.
Have an insulation pro evaluate the
insulation in your homes attic before
you begin planning your conversion.
You may need to add insulation or even
replace older, inefficient types – a move
well worth the investment since insulation is so important to your homes over-
all comfort and energy efficiency. Many
insulation pros will recommend spray
insulation for attics because it goes easily
between existing joists. Plus, it can create
a tight air barrier without losing the inches of space required for thick fiberglass
batt insulation.
3. Get smart about plumbing.
If your attic conversion will incorporate a bathroom, good for you! Bathroom
additions return more than 56 percent of
your initial investment when you resell,
according to the Cost vs. Value Report.
If pipes are already present in your
attic, adding a bathroom can be simple.
If no plumbing exists, consider cost-effective alternatives that will have less
impact on the space, like up-flush plumbing. Because it fits into the kind of tight
spaces that often occur in attics, up-flush
plumbing can be an easy, cheaper way to
plumb a sink, toilet or shower stall in an
attic space.
Converting an unused attic into living
area can be a great way to expand your
space without moving. Plus, when you
finally are ready to move one day, that
attic renovation may end up paying for
itself by boosting the sale price of your
home.
Fall: Best season for planting trees to boost home, community
(BPT) – Planting a tree is an investment in the future,
according to a Greek proverb: A society grows great
when old men plant trees under whose shade they never
expect to sit. But did you know planting trees around
your home is also an investment in your real estate value
and the value of your neighborhood? Or, that its one best
made not in the season of new life, spring, but in the fall
as winter approaches?
Most Americans say they would – and in fact do – pay
more for a home with trees in the yard, according to a
Wakefield Research survey sponsored by the Alliance
for Community Trees, a program of the Arbor Day
Foundation. On average, Americans pay 18 percent more
for a house with trees in the yard, and 79 percent say they
feel trees define their neighborhoods character. Nearly
three quarters say they would never move to a neighborhood that didnt have trees.
The presence of trees in a neighborhood is as important to homebuyers as proximity to good schools, accessibility to shopping and entertainment, and commutability
to work, says Dana Karcher, Alliance for Community
Trees program manager. But the value of trees goes far
beyond beautifying a neighborhood. Planting trees helps
on a local and global scale by reducing air pollution, controlling stormwater runoff and even mitigating climate
change.
With 61 percent of Americans saying they would welcome more trees in their neighborhoods, planting one
in your home environment is good for your property
value and your community. Whats more, fall is a perfect time for planting trees and shrubs. The fall planting
season kicks off with NeighborWoods month in October,
the annual celebration of trees and green communities that supports local tree planting organizations and
their efforts to make neighborhoods cleaner, greener and
healthier. This initiative is made possible in part by like
minded companies including Mrs. Meyers Clean Day (R),
Double Tree by Hilton and the Aetna Foundation. Visit
arborday.org/neighborwoods to learn more.
If youre considering planting a tree or two this fall,
here are some things to keep in mind:
* While spring may be the best time to plant flowers
and vegetables, fall is the optimum season for planting
trees. In spring, trees dont have enough time to grow
deep roots before summer heat hits. Fall means warm
soil, wetter weather and cooler air that promote root
growth, helping a newly planted tree get established
before the weather turns cold and the ground freezes.
* Mid-August through mid-October is the best time to
plant a tree in northern and cooler locations. In warmer
areas, like the south, you may be able to plant well into
November. Talk to your local nursery or an arborist
to determine the best planting window where you live.
Planting these types of trees in fall means theyll be well
established when next springs growing season arrives.
* Some types of trees need longer to become established, while others need less time. Look for trees that
dont require a lengthy growing period before they can
withstand harsher temperatures. Options include ash,
crabapple, hawthorn, elm, linden, maple, sycamore, pines
and spruces. Not sure what to plant? The Arbor Day
Foundation offers an online tree selection tool to help you
understand what trees will grow best in your region.
* Trees are prepared for planting in three ways – bare
root, containerized and balled and burlap. The best
methods for planting trees will be based on how the roots
look. Bare root trees have completely exposed roots, and
youll need to soak the roots before planting. Bare root
trees tend to grow faster than those in containers. Plants
from nurseries often come in containers that need to be
removed before you plant the tree. Root balls are typically
wrapped in burlap, which must also be removed when
you plant the tree.

5 ways to prepare your outdoor living space for fall
(BPT) – While everyone eagerly waits for spring
each year and wishes summer could last a month or
two longer, when it comes down to it, fall just might
be Americas favorite season. Its warm but not hot,
the air has that clean crispness thats hard to describe
and perhaps the biggest draw, pumpkin-flavored
everything. And lets not forget about all those bright,
beautiful leaf colors that come with the change in
weather. So why start shutting down your outdoor
living space with the first sign of fall?
Packing it in early is something dynamic design
duo, Colin and Justin, would never consider. The
home improvement stars of Cabin Pressure and
Game of Homes make the most of their beautiful
Western Red Cedar deck all year around.
Oh my gosh every single day, were on the deck
– whether its summer, spring, fall, winter or whatever, says Justin. A deck isnt just for three months of
the year; a deck is what you want it to be. And if you
love the great outdoors as much as we do, you can
make it work.
Here, then, are Colin and Justins top five design
solutions to help extend your outdoor living well into
the autumn months:
Start with the right deck
Just because you procrastinated, doesnt mean you
need to wait until next spring to build or start designing a show-stopping deck. Whatever your plans,
though, one thing almost everyone agrees upon is
that theres nothing quite like the rich, textural
warmth of a Western Red Cedar deck to create a beautiful all-season outdoor living space. Low maintenance, surprisingly affordable and easy to work with,
Real Cedar cant be beat.
We recommend getting your big ticket items first,
around which you can seasonally adjust and tailor
your look with different smaller and more affordable
purchases, says Colin. And with decks, its worth
investing in a really good product to start with like
Western Red Cedar, which will last and last and last.
Honestly, it just gets better with age, improving as the
years pass, and it really is a showstopper.
Screen it in
Unless youve got a screened-in porch, you may
still have to shield your outdoor living space from the
occasional nippy breeze. For Colin and Justin, this
is easily rectified with movable wicker screens that
they store inside during the summer months.
Theyve got a lovely weighty bottom to them,
says Justin. The wind passes right through them
and thats a good tip for anyone using freestanding
screens on the outside. If theyre too solid, the wind
can catch them. But if theyre fretwork or open panels
or cutout work, theyre good.
Heat things up
Paradoxically, as the days grow shorter, youll

wish they would last longer. Theres no more perfect
way to cap off a perfect fall day than by sitting around
a fire with friends and family.
In the autumn, we have two propane operated fire
bowls that sit smack dab in the center of our Western
Red Cedar deck, says Colin. Their gas-powered fire is
safely contained in a stone bowl and leaves no ashes
or embers. And those fire bowls help us stretch out
our summer a little bit. We also have two big patio
heaters, which we can direct inward at either end of
our terrace and they really makes a big difference.

10 smart ideas to heat your home for less
(BPT) – As cooler temperatures begin to sweep the
nation, homeowners are turning on their heat for the
first time in months. With every degree increase on
the thermostat, utility bills follow suit.
A warm, comfortable home shouldnt cost you a
small fortune. Luckily, there are some simple strategies for combating the chill while lowering heating
costs at the same time.
Change the filters
The summer and fall months are a prime time
for airborne allergens and microbes, which can clog
furnace filters and inhibit airflow. This makes your
furnace work harder and in turn, costs you more.
Change your filters monthly to help open airflow and
save money.
Embrace the sun
Want to help heat your home for free during the
winter? Pay attention to the sun. Try opening curtains on south-facing windows and the radiant heat
from the sun will help naturally heat your home.
Just remember to close them at night to keep out the
evening chill.
Use a programmable thermostat
You can save up to 10 percent a year on heating
and cooling by simply adjusting your thermostat 7-10
degrees Fahrenheit for 8 hours a day, according to
the U.S. Department of Energy. Use a programmable thermostat to change the temperature for time
periods you are sleeping or away from home. Some
air conditioning systems can be controlled remotely
through a smartphone app like Smart AC, which
works seamlessly with LG duct-free systems, allowing the homeowners to wirelessly connect, control
and monitor the temperature through an easy-to-use
smartphone app.
Consider installing a duct-free mini-split system to provide zoned heating
Instead of moving air through ductwork as central
heating and air conditioning systems do, duct-free
systems deliver warm conditioned air directly into a
room. Duct-free systems like those from LG provide
high-performance zone heating, allowing homeowners to keep their bedrooms toasty warm at night
when its frigid outside, while turning the heat down
(or off!) in the rest of the home to help save energy.
Clear heat registers
One common mistake homeowners make is covering heat registers with furniture, toys or other
items that block the heat flow. To improve heating
efficiency, inspect all heat registers in your home
and remove anything thats blocking them.
Seal leaks and lock windows
Phantom heat loss is a huge energy drain. Test
for leaks by using a flashlight to see if light filters
through cracks or try pulling a dollar bill through.
Then, seal air leaks around utility cut-throughs,
chimneys and recessed lights with spray foam. Use

caulk and weather stripping to seal windows and
doorway drafts. Dont forget to close and lock windows and doors. Locking pulls the components tight
against the weather-stripping to block cold air from
entering the home.
Consider installing an Energy Star certified
heating system
Energy Star certified energy-efficient products
provide superior performance while saving energy
to help lessen the impact on the world around us.
The EPA Energy Star program identifies heating and
cooling products that are energy efficient and can
save you money.
Use your fireplace wisely
The warmth and ambiance of a wood-burning fireplace are hard to beat on a chilly day. But to ensure
you dont lose valuable heat when the fireplace is not
in use, always remember to close the damper when
the fire is completely out.
Fill attic insulation
When was the last time you checked your attics
insulation? Heat rises – so if you dont have proper
insulation in your attic, youre losing money. Start
by checking to make sure insulation is evenly spread

heater to a lower setting of 120 Fahrenheit and youll
still enjoy hot showers without a utility bill that will

10 smart steps for chainsaw safety
(BPT) – The buzzing, the crack,
the call of timber! Whether youre
trimming vegetation on your rural
property or updating the landscaping
by your suburban home, a chainsaw
helps you get the job done quickly and
efficiently.
Millions of homeowners safely use
chainsaws every year, however, its
important to recognize outdoor power
equipment is dangerous. Every person who uses a chainsaw must take
precautions to prevent accidents and
injuries.
Follow these 10 smart steps to help
keep you safe every time you use a
chainsaw, from the power equipment
experts at Husqvarna:
Pause before you begin
Before you start working, follow
these rules:
Tell someone where youll be
working.
Always carry a mobile phone.
Keep a first aid kit close at hand.
Park your vehicle so that you can
make a quick exit if necessary.
Wear a helmet
Whether a professional logger or
weekend DIY warrior, you should
always wear proper chainsaw safety
equipment. A helmet with earmuffs,
full-face visor and protective glasses
will help protect your entire head,
including your eyes and ears.
Dress to protect
The most common chainsaw injury
is a laceration, an injury that breaks
the skin. The right protective clothing minimizes the risk of laceration
and other injuries. When using a
chainsaw always wear:
Protective pants or chaps
Forestry jacket/shirt with proper
upper body coverage
Protective trousers
Anti-slip boots
Gloves
Get equipment checked
If you have a chainsaw, its important to have it regularly inspected. A
professional inspection will ensure
the chainsaws safety features are
functioning properly. If issues are
found, a simple tuneup can correct
any problems so you stay safe.
Handle with care
Using these proper chainsaw handling techniques will minimize the
risk of injury or strain:
Wrap thumbs and fingers completely around the handles and hold
your left-hand thumb under the front
handle to reduce the force of a kickback.
Dont fear the saw; be confident
and hold it close to your body to
achieve balance, control and accuracy.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 10-25-2016 / Brandpoint Content
A little bit of preparation and safety precautions can reduce the risk of chainsaw accidents.
The optimal working position is
with your left foot in front of your
right and with your knees bent rather
than your back.
Never rotate the chain when you
move to another spot.
Make sure no one is within 10 feet
when youre working with a chainsaw.
Never use a chainsaw while on
a ladder or around a downed power
line.
Secure site safety
If youre cutting down a whole tree,
study it to see if it has been damaged
by decay or cracks. Is the tree leaning? In which direction will the tree
or branch naturally fall? Create a
plan and always make sure nobody is
within the distance of at least twice
the tree height youre working on so
theyre not susceptible to injury from
the fall.
Storage
A chainsaw can still cause injury
even when not in use, so proper storage is essential. After use, clean the
equipment of any debris. Protect your
chainsaw from dust and sunlight by
using a hard case or protective storage bag. Always store in a location
out of the reach of children and other
people, ideally in a locked space. If
storing for the season, empty the fuel
tank and remove the chain to clean
and oil.
Refine your skills
If youre not an experienced
chainsaw user, practicing can mean
learning a host of dangerous habits.
Consider taking a class at your local
power equipment dealer.
October is chainsaw safety month.

Fire safety reminders to protect your home and family
(BPT) – With Fire Prevention Week
taking place during October, this
month is a great time to evaluate your
home for fire safety. According to the
National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) September 2015 Structure
Fires Report, U.S. fire departments
responded to an estimated average of
357,000 home fires per year between
2009-2013, causing $6.9 billion in damage and 2,470 deaths. The NFPA cites
cooking equipment, heating equipment
and electrical distribution systems as
the three leading causes of accidental
home fires, but there are steps homeowners can take to help prevent them.
To help protect your family in the
event of a home fire, there are several
safety tips and steps that you can take.
The NFPA recommends testing your
smoke alarms regularly and replacing
them every 10 years to best help protect your family and home, but there
are several safety tips and steps you
can take to further help prevent a fire
before it happens. Here are three to
consider:
Clear your cooking space. With hot
ovens and stovetops, some of which
even contain open flames, its not sur-
prising that cooking equipment is the
leading cause of accidental home fires.
Its important to be aware of your cooking area before, during and after food
preparation. Make sure that anything
flammable, such as dish towels, pot
holders or food containers are moved
away from hot surfaces or flames, and
that all cooking utensils, like pots,
pans, spoons or ladles, are removed
from ovens before preheating. Also,
take special care and read cooking
directions carefully when using flammable ingredients or equipment, such
as oils or deep fryers.
Understand your electrical system.
Although there are several ways to recognize potential risks of an electrical
fire in your home, most homeowners
are not aware of the signs or what to
look for. For example, keep an eye
out for discolored or warm outlets,
which are signs of an electrical failure or malfunction and a potential
electrical fire. Other signs of electrical issues are flickering or dimming
of lights, frequent issues with blowing fuses, or smelling a burning or
rubbery odor from appliances. Other
often overlooked electrical fire safety
tips include using extension cords for
temporary needs only, never running
cords under rugs or pinched beneath
furniture, and to not overload electrical outlets. Though convenient, these
common mistakes can result in serious
fire hazards.
Purchase and install safety products. In the chance a fire does occur in
your home, safety equipment such as
smoke detectors and fire extinguishers can mean the difference between
life and death, but homeowners should
also install devices that can help to
prevent fires. Given that 50 percent
of the electrical fires that occur each
year could be prevented with Arc Fault
Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) Outlets, it
seems logical that homeowners should
install them. AFCIs, like Levitons
SmartlockPro AFCI Outlet, detect a
wide range of arcing electrical faults,
which are dangerous and could lead to
electrical fires. Once an AFCI Outlet
detects an arcing fault, it immediately
shuts off power to help prevent potential ignition of a fire. These are important to have in living areas like bedrooms, living rooms and kitchens to
protect homeowners from unexpected
electrical hazards.

Helping first-time home buyers get from I cant to I can
(BPT) – Finally! The economy is
improving, interest rates are low and
many consumers now find themselves
in a great position financially to become
a first-time homeowner. Theres a
small problem though for some locations around the country – the booming
real estate market is resulting in rising
home prices and increased competition
for the most desirable properties.
The S&P/Case-Shiller national homeprice index recently estimated that 2016
prices are within four percent of the
peak in 2006. In some areas, low inventories around the country are making the
situation even more challenging.
These conditions are introducing
first-time buyers to common challenges and frustrations while searching for
their dream home. Dont get discouraged, says Travis Peace, executive
director of mortgage at USAA Bank.
Buying a home requires some fortitude
and the process intimidates many -not
just those doing it for the first time. As
a result, Peace says its easy to concentrate too much on home buying cants
rather than can-dos, and he offers this
advice on how to overcome some common barriers.
I Cant No. 1: I cant figure out
the home-buying process.
Peace notes that its essential to do
research and to be equipped with basic
information, but also be willing to ask
for help when needed. For example, an
experienced real estate agent can keep
a buyer apprised of everything from
area sales trends to the latest changes in
state and federal laws that could impact
a mortgage application.
This is where experienced, licensed
professionals can help, Peace says.
Real estate agents can be an advocate
for the buyer throughout the entire process.
I Cant No. 2: I cant find the
perfect home for my family.
Finding the perfect home may not be
realistic, but shoppers can find the right
home. Personal situations will dictate
buyers ability to wait for a home in a
particular neighborhood or design style
to come on the market, but not everything has to be left to chance.
Peace says the key is to set realistic
expectations and not fixate on negatives
that can be changed. Whether its the
number of bedrooms or distance
to work or school, its alright
to have some non-negotiables.
However, buyers should be willing to be flexible on things that
can be relatively easy to change,
like paint colors or landscaping.
I Cant No. 3:
I cant afford a 20 percent
down payment.
Putting 20 percent down on
a home has become more of a
guideline than a rule. Today, not
being able to put 20 percent down
does not mean buying a home
is out of reach. Peace notes that
depending on a buyers financial
situation, there may be a responsible way to get into your new
home without putting 20 percent
down.
Government-sponsored loan
programs from the Federal
Housing Authority, Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac provide loan
options that require down payments as low as three percent.
Veterans Affairs (VA) loans
dont require any down payment.
While those programs are often
great options for consumers who
qualify, Peace notes that buyers should keep an eye on their
potential total monthly payment.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 10-25-2016 / Brandpoint Content
Some of these loans include
fees and private mortgage insur- Theres nothing quite as exciting as the feeling of buying your first home. The process doesnt

Peace says.
Even private lenders are offering
more competitive loan options. For
example, USAA Banks Conventional
97 loan allows borrowers to acquire a
mortgage with only three percent down
and the bank pays the PMI costs.
Scott McEniry, a USAA member,
recently moved into his new home with
the help of the Conventional 97 loan. It
felt like a lifeline had been thrown to me
as suddenly a house purchase was within reach again, McEniry says.
Whether a house-hunting novice or
seasoned expert, Peace underscores that
being informed, getting the right help
and having a healthy dose of determination are the best ways to turn a dream
home into a reality.

Are you ready for a long power outage?
(BPT) – As winter storm season arrives, homeowners
should be ready for power outages that last for days or
even weeks.
In recent years, storms have become more intense and
frequent, resulting in extended power outages, which
is disruptive to daily life. A recent study by Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory and Stanford University
looked at 13 years of weather and utility data. The study
revealed power interruptions last 75 percent longer in
years that were both abnormally windy and had a major
weather event.
Blizzards, heavy snow, ice storms and strong winds
can all conspire to cut off the power supply to your home,
leaving your family in the dark and in the cold. It is
impossible to predict when an extended power outage
will impact your community, however, there are things
you can do today to keep your family safe and comfortable. Now is the time to prepare before the first winter
storms settle in.
An extended power loss in the winter can damage
your home and put your family at risk, says Ed Del
Grande, a home improvement TV host, author and syndicated columnist. Water pipes can freeze. Houses can
quickly fill up with dangerous levels of carbon monoxide
from alternative heating and cooking sources. And food
can spoil quickly in the refrigerator. Thats why its
smart to plan ahead for a power outage so you can get
through the days safely and comfortably.
Here are some tips to help homeowners prepare for an
extended power outage:
Have enough food and water.
Store enough to eat and drink for one week. Even if

Tips for preserving and creating meaningful wooden pieces
(BPT) – From your first meal as a married couple at
your oak dining table, to enjoying a glass of lemonade
with your grandchildren on your pine kitchen stools your most cherished memories are made at home.
Families have so many pieces of wooden furnishings in their homes that are meaningful to them, says
wood finishing expert Bruce Johnson, spokesperson for
Minwax. If you dont yet have a piece like this in your
family, its easy to make something unique out of wood,
whether it be a new item or upcycling something old.
If youre looking to protect a piece of your familys history or create something of your very own, its important
to take steps to care for your wooden furniture. Johnson
and the experts at Minwax offer some guidelines for preserving valued wooden pieces as well as creating your
own personal items with love
* If the clear finish on the piece is still in good shape,
you can preserve its beauty with a high-quality paste
wax like Minwax Paste Finishing Wax. At least once a
year, use a very soft cloth to apply the wax a little at a
time. Rub gently with the grain of the wood, spreading a
thin, even coat of wax to seal and protect the wood.
* To apply a new finish on an existing piece, youll
need to remove the old one first. Choose a well-ventilated
but low-traffic area in which to work. The temperature
in your work area should stay higher than 65 degrees,
and humidity should stay around 50 percent to help facilitate drying throughout the process. Consider using a
solvent that removes the finish and conditions the wood
at the same time, such as Minwax Antique Furniture
Refinisher. Wear rubber gloves and use fine steel wool to
gently rub in small circles until the old finish is removed.
Once the old finish is removed, its important to protect
the surface. Try using a one-step stain and finish such as
Minwax PolyShades. It combines beautiful rich color and
long-lasting polyurethane protection in one easy step.
You can apply it on top of an existing polyurethane finish
or on bare wood.
*If youre taking on your first wood-finishing project
and you want to create something to last for generations
to come, try using a beautiful traditional wood stain.
Minwax Wood Finish is an oil based stain that comes in
a variety of gorgeous colors, creating a rich, appealing
color in a single coat. For darker, richer hues, apply a
second coat, allowing the piece to dry completely between

coats, according to label directions. When youre done
staining and the piece is completely dry, dont forget to
protect it with a clear finish such as Minwax Fast-Drying
Polyurethane.

Prepare your home for winter with these projects
(BPT) – Fall is here, and with it, cooler
temperatures. Home renovation experts
suggest now is the ideal time for homeowners to prepare their home for winter and think about home improvement
plans that they can complete during the
fall months.
When it comes to home improvements, building experts recommend
homeowners carefully consider and
prioritize their plans by looking at
structural improvements over cosmetic
upgrades.
Fundamental for homeowners hoping
to invest smartly in their home is understanding what improvement is deemed
essential and what is considered purely
cosmetic. For example, a homes skin
is a key investment area during a renovation project. Hiring an energy inspector to examine your home will give a
better sense of the required work and
avoid any subsequent costly headaches.
If youre thinking of going green,
small changes such as using compact
fluorescent light bulbs can contribute to
reducing your homes carbon footprint.
Fluorescent light bulbs typically have a
longer life and use less energy thereby
reducing excessive energy waste as well
as monthly energy bills.
Investing in energy efficient appliances is another effective way to live
green and add value to your home.
Homeowners with an old central air
system can consider having a new, more
energy efficient HVAC system installed.
While these may come with an expensive up-front cost, the savings on energy
bills over the long-term will prove to
be a wise investment. Additionally, the
inclusion of other energy efficient appliances such as refrigerators, washing
machines and dryers will contribute to
lower energy bills.
Another significant way to reduce
energy consumption is to adequately
seal the home to stop any air leaks by
considering a smart insulation material.
Insulation experts homeowners should
survey their house from top to bottom,
and assess any trouble spots such as
drafty areas or cold zones which could
be caused by air leakage. Air leakage
can limit the effectiveness of heating
systems. According to spray foam insulation manufacturer Icynene, floors,
walls and ceilings can account for up
to 31 percent of air leakage in a home.
Spray foam insulation, which can help
combat air leakage, is growing in popularity among homeowners since it is an
energy-efficient material that delivers
year-round benefits. Spray foam insulation, like that available from Icynene,
works well in all types of homes across
the country, regardless of climate.
Spray foam insulation performs for
the life of the property, ensuring that
homeowners can enjoy comfortable
indoor temperatures year round without overrunning their heating and cooling equipment. According to Icynene,
high performance spray foam insulation
can noticeably reduce monthly heating
and cooling costs. Additionally, spray
foam insulation helps minimize random
airborne moisture and pollutants from
entering the home, which is ideal for
allergy sufferers.
Icynene recently released a comprehensive home insulation mobile app,
available on the Apple App Store and
Google Play Store, to allow homeowners
understand where air leaks can occur
in their home as well as how a modern
insulation material like spray foam can
help make a difference and why it is a
smart home improvement investment.
