Watch out for deer
Vehicle-deer wrecks
on the increase as
deer look for a mate
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Around this time
of year, a deer has one thing
on its mind and it isnt a car.
But even if deer arent thinking
about you or your speeding car,
local emergency and wildlife
officials warn you should be
thinking about them.
Motorists need to be mindful about deer darting into the
roadways during the mating
season now underway, especially at dawn and dusk. Anderson
County Sheriffs deputies are
seeing vehicle-deer collisions
increase already this fall, and
Undersheriff Tom Laiter warns
that starting in the next week
or so, even more deer will roam
about the area. Its all thanks
to deer breeding season, a time
when deer are more concerned
with finding a mate than avoiding traffic.
The increase in deer-vehicle crashes is strongly influenced by the deer mating season, called rut, said Kansas
Department of Wildlife biologist Lloyd Fox. During rut, deer
focus on mating; they travel
more than in other seasons,
and pay less attention to hazards such as vehicles. Also during the fall, many deer move
to new locations as crops are
harvested and leaves fall from
trees and shrubs, so they are
less secure than in their summer habitats.
Local deer populations took a
hit during two years of drought

answer is the majority of

who continue this broken system that caters
to special interests and the extremists in their
own parties rather than solving problems.
Unfortunately, all thats led to is a Congress

Carnival Friday, Oct. 24.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
KINCAID – The future of a small library
began by community volunteers will be
left to the voters of Rich Township on
Nov. 4.
The Kincaid Community Library was
established earlier this year by volunteers
at the Kincaid High School Community
Center, formerly the Kincaid High School
and Crest Junior High School building.
Now, organizers want to make it a legitimate library recognized by the state. To
do that, voters will need to give the Rich
Township Board the authority to appoint
a library board, levy taxes and submit
a budget. In a press release, organizers
said the tax levy would amount to less
than three dollars each year for each
property owner. The township board
would appoint a five-member library
board.
If approved, the library would offer
high speed Internet with free Wi-Fi for
patrons and public-access computers.
The library could offer reading programs,
and would participate in the Southeast
Kansas Library Systems inter-library
loan program to share books between
several libraries in the region.
Organizers said the library would
seek out grants and other programs to
improve services without increasing the
tax levy.

in 2011 and 2012, but rebounded
the past couple of years because
of good weather and growing
conditions, Anderson Countys
Natural Resource Office Josh
DeHoux said previously.
Deer breeding season peaks
in mid-November, and this
marks the period when deervehicle collisions are highest.
Not only are deer more
active during the fall, shorter days mean dusk and dawn
when deer are more likely
to be on the move occur
when commuter traffic is
highest. According to Kansas
Department of Transportation
spokesperson Steve Swartz, 14
percent, or 8,104, of all traffic
crashes in 2013 involved deer.
Six people were killed and 286
were injured in these crashes.
The Kansas Department
of Wildlife and Parks, Kansas
Highway Patrol and Kansas
diebolt
2×2
Department of Transportation
have compiled a list of tips that
motorists should observe to
avoid deer collisions:
Be especially watchful at
dawn and dusk when deer are
particularly active;
. Watch for more than one deer,
as they seldom travel alone;
. Reduce speed and be alert near
wooded areas or green spaces
such as parks or golf courses
and near water sources such as
streams or ponds;
Dont swerve to avoid hitting a deer – the most serious
accidents sometimes occur
when motorists swerve and
collide with another vehicle or
run off the road and hit an
obstacle;
Heed deer crossing signs;
Always wear a seat belt and
use appropriate child safety
seats; and
Use bright lights and slow
down whenever the reflective
eyes of deer are spotted.

Chris Clemmons, Libertarian
Weve all heard the phrase, the definition of insanity is doing
the same thing continuously and expecting different results. Yet,
Americans continue to vote the same way, election after election. At this point in American history, colonoscopies have a higher approval rating
than congress, but we continue vote for the same
people from the same parties. Meanwhile, weve
watched the Bill of Rights be torn to pieces from
both sides of the isle, the war machine perpetuated by presidents from supposed opposing philosophies and the middle class taxed out of existence. The federal reserve is printing close to
Clemmons
$1 trillion a year to pay for 7 illegal wars all over
the world, devaluing our currency at an alarming rate and making
it harder and harder for Americans to make it through each week.
The question becomes, when will Americans realize that the choice
between 2 evils is still evil and that the only wasted vote is the one
for the candidate that you dont truly believe in?
If youre tired of the status quo, tired of watching your tax dollars funneled into multi-national corporations and tired of watching
your Constitutional rights be stripped from you without so much as
a discussion by either side of the political isle, then know that there
is someone out there running FOR your views, FOR your wellbeing,
FOR the Constitution. On November 4, show congress that you are
done with the games, the gridlock and the corporate cronyism. On
November 4th, Vote Chris Clemmons.

EDITORIAL
The teachers from the Black Lagoon
Poor Willie Dove, the Republican running
for re-election to the Kansas House in the 38th
District, learned first-hand last week about the
wrath that can be dealt by the eduocracy of
Kansas.
An apple for the teachers union, it seems,
just isnt good enough any more.
Dove is one of the legislators who voted
last spring for the new state education bill
that granted $129 million in new funding to
Kansas schools but did so with a number of
provisions, one of which ended the guarantee
of tenure for teachers in public schools. But
if a lawsuit from the states biggest teachers
union and Doves experience at a meeting of
retired teachers in DeSoto last week is any
indicator the eduocracy seems to have forgotten all about the extra money for education.
If youre not familiar with tenure, here
it is in a nutshell: Tenure protects a teacher
from being fired after he or she has been in a
district for some minimum number of years. It
was guaranteed under Kansas law and as such
was never really an issue in local teacher salary/benefit negotiations with school districts.
Now, school districts may continue to offer
tenure or make it part of their negotiations,
but its no longer a guarantee under state law.
Tenure was seen by teachers as job security
a way to keep your job if even if you gave the
mayors kid a D in algebra but the down
side was that it made bad teachers extremely
hard and very expensive for districts to fire.
And if youre trying to run an operation in
which youre responsible to other people say
for educating their kids and you cant fire
bad teachers, youre in trouble.
Fast forward to last Thursday night, when
Dove accepted an invitation to JTs Sports Bar
& Grill for what was apparently an informal
meeting of local retired teachers. Dove had
been asked to come by one of his supporters (or apparently former supporters) in the
group so Dove could explain his support of the
education bill.
By the time Dove came in after this groups
business meeting, the hornets nest was
already askew. He barely even had time to sit
down before the missives were rolling.
Im not listening to some (GD) politician
lie to us about what you did to teachers, hollered one elderly man. Nobody here wants to
hear from you- why dont you just go?, yelled
a silver-haird woman from the back. Dove
tried to reason with them and asked them for
a minute to explain his side of the issue.
If you dont believe me, will you believe
the state school board about the tenure issue?,
he offered.
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
We dont believe them or you, not get
out of here!, someone yelled. Eventually an
F bomb or two was even dropped as they
attempted to throw Dove and his assistant out
of a meeting room in a building they didnt
own.
It was like Quentin Tarantino remade
Cocoon, and replaced all the sweet, gentle
old people with some bile-spewing mob, with
their swimming pool morphed into something
like The Black Lagoon. Worse yet, the folks out
in the restaurant waiting for the World Series
game to start thought they were going to have
to defibrillate somebody.
It wasnt exactly in keeping with the austere, thankless image which is presented so
often of public school teachers. But it does
illustrate the amnesia so common among
organized labor these days the teachers
union and its retired cohorts were so upset
about the loss of a tenure guarantee that they
forgot about 129 million in new education dollars. Maybe the kids and their parents the
taxpayers will be a little more appreciative.
***
Speaking of politics, Ive come up with
a striking similarity between Independent
candidate for District I Anderson County
Commissioner Les McGhee and Greg Orman,
another Independent running for U.S. Senate
in Kansas: Neither of them has been to an
Anderson County Commission meeting during this election cycle.
Everybodys busy, and its true that
McGhees opponent, Jim Johnson, already
has the job and is supposed to be at all or most
of the meetings. Pat Callahan, who ran unsuccessfully for the commission a few years ago,
attended their meetings for several months
prior to the election and told me he was
amazed at the things he learned from sitting
in those meetings. Theres far more to being a
county commissioner that most of us realize,
and theres no substitute for being there.

The self-indulgent triviality of the Ferguson protests
It wasnt so long ago that Ferguson, MO.,
was supposed to be an American morality
tale of racism, the militarization of police
and all manner of other evil. For a few
weeks in August, the attention of the national
media focused on the suburb of St. Louis, and
MSNBC practically broadcast nothing else.
While the media long ago moved on, the
protests have persisted, entering their late,
decadent phase of self-indulgent triviality.
Cornel West got arrested last week, and Al
Sharpton is heading back to Ferguson at the
end of the month to pump up attention for
what styles itself a movement, although it is
more tinny by the day.
A hallmark of August was pointlessly
destructive civil disorder, and its only gotten more pointless. In late September, the
makeshift memorial to Michael Brown on the
street in Ferguson burned down. This set off
minor rioting, including the vandalizing of a
beauty salon that has been hit multiple times
for the offense of operating a business in a
town where protesters are so committed to
justice.
In nearby St. Louis a few weeks later, an
off-duty cop working as a private security
guard shot to death a teen who had fired at
him with a Ruger 9 mm. It turned out the gun
had been stolen two weeks earlier, and the
teen, monitored with an ankle bracelet, had

been awaiting trial on a felony concealedweapon charge. Protesters took the streets to
demonstrate against what would strike most
people as a legitimate act of self-defense,
chanting the inapt Hands up, dont shoot!
A grand jury is still considering the evidence in the shooting of Michael Brown,
which protesters long ago concluded is a case
of murder in the first degree. Its not possible
for anyone who wasnt there to know what
happened on that day, when Browns friend
said Brown was attacked by Officer Darren
Wilson and shot while running away.
An anonymous witness who saw the entire
incident from beginning to end told the St.
Louis Post-Dispatch that after an initial scuf-
fle in the car, Officer Wilson didnt shoot
Brown until he turned back toward him.
Brown kept coming toward Wilson despite
orders to stop, and was 20-25 feet away when
the last shots were fired. According to the
witness, Brown did not raise his arms in
the gesture of surrender that is the iconic
symbol of the Ferguson protests. Although
the witness believes Wilson didnt have to kill
Brown, his version is more complicated than
the one taken as a given by the protesters.
The New York Times has reported that
Darren Wilson told investigators that Brown
pinned him in his vehicle and there was a
struggle over his gun, and he feared for his
life. FBI forensics show that the gun was
indeed fired twice in the car, and Browns
blood was on the gun and Officer Wilsons
uniform.
Sharpton and protesters maintain that
all they want is justice. It may well be what
justice demands in this case is no indictment
of a cop who fired in self-defense. Although,
sadly, that is unlikely to be a formula for
peace.

Not just Nov. 4; Nov. 10 will be a big day, too
Less than a week after Election Day, when
the neighbors are starting to get a little terse
in their questions about when you will take
down the campaign signs, the real business
of government starts.
That real business is the job of either
Republican Gov. Sam Brownback or Democrat
challenger Paul Davis to put together a budget for the fiscal year which starts July 1,
2015, and which will probably also involve the
current fiscal years spending plans.
The Nov. 10 report of the states Consensus
Revenue Estimating Group (CREG) will be
the official estimate of the revenues coming
into the state which whoever is governor then
will have to use to craft a budget for the fiscal
year which starts July 1, 2015and get us out
of the current fiscal year with the lights still
on.
Because the CREG group of economists
and fiscal experts is nonpartisan, it generally
looks at just the hard numbers, which politicians then get to characterize however they
want. But the CREG number is the basis on
which the budget must be written, and the
budget has to add up.
All this is quite a way removed from the
campaign rhetoric well be hearing this week.
Whatever we have been told about school
spending or highways or social service programs or nearly anything else during the
campaign just fades away, and Kansans live
with the programs and spending that the
CREG-estimated budget will afford.
A couple numbers are already floating
STATE COMMENTARY
MARTIN HAWVER, At The Rail
around. In April, CREGwhich meets twice
a yearfigured that state revenues would
be $5.96 billion, about 6 percent below last
year, but up about $100 million from last
Novembers estimate. Already, revenues
within this fiscal year are down about $20
million from that April estimate. And, that
slippage may be accounted for on Nov. 10.
But the real issue may be whether this
years April estimate of 6 percent slippage
is the bottom of the well, or whether there is
more significant year-to-year revenue dropping to be done.
If state revenues have hit rock bottom,
thats good news. Its a base to start from
while the state adjusts to massive income
tax cuts and sees whether that discretionary spending which produces sales tax and
liquor tax and all other sorts of specialized taxes tied to discretionary spending will
rise. Remember, the theory is that as income
taxes drop, businesses and people will spend
the money they are saving on income taxes
on other things, paying taxes on those purchases.
But were at the point in the state budget
that if there arent some new revenues coming in, things get a little bleak. Programs
are reduced, state employment continues to
fall, and at some point, the state just doesnt
have enough money barring a tax increase or
something similar to do much for Kansans.
Thats when the state starts looking for
programs that local units of government
like cities and countieshave to fund, and
likely increase property taxes to accomplish.
So, its really going to be the CREG estimate that most of us can use as a predictor of
whether our property taxes are going up.
Almost a shame that the estimate wont be
made before the election, but then, it would
just get portrayed however each candidate
wants to spin it. What might be the most
important announcement for the next couple
years about where our government is headed
would become unclear.
For whomever is governor or governorelect Nov. 10, the spin cycle will be over.

about it.
Im calling about the person complaining about the city employees
mowing at the cemetery. Every time
I go out to the cemetery it looks very,
very nice. I give them credit for what
they do. Now if you dont like the way
theyre doing it maybe you ought to
do your own familys plots. I think
they do a wonderful job for what they
have and those guys would not do
anything to harm anything at a plot.
I think you ought to call them and tell
them what a good job they do instead
of putting them down.
Some people have no respect for other
peoples property. Out here on the
north side when we finally got sidewalks in people fixed up their yards,
and then here comes people walking
their dogs and letting them do their
thing on your lawn, now they got
brown spots. Homeowners ought to
have the right to either shoot the dog
or sue the dog owners for destruction of property. I know its illegal
to shoot a firearm in the city but Im
pretty good with a bow and arrow. If
they want to destroy our property we
should have the right to destroy some
of theirs. Thank you.
A number of people from Parkside
Place have called to complain to the
city that the new bridge to the Prairie
Spirit Trail needs to be painted. Hasnt
been done. The woods going to rot out
and for a $30 gallons of paint its going
to end up costing $2,000 to replace it
when it rots out and somebody falls
through it.
Whoever owns the white dog around
the West Third Avenue area, please
keep your dog penned up. I have
caught it tearing up trash more than
once and it makes a big mess to clean
up. Thank you.
The Democrats and the liberal media
love to use the term economic fairness when they talk about raising
the minimum wage and other ways
to give money and benefits to people
who havent earned it. I ask this question: Why is it any more moral to take
money away from a rich person than
it is to take money away from a poor
person? Thank you.

Hicks lends points to state gymnastics title
OLATHE Callie Hicks boosted
the Lawrence Free State Firebird
gymnastics team to a razor-thin
first place finish Saturday at the
Kansas 6A Gymnastics meet at
Olathe West High School.
Firebird gymnasts totaled
107.125 points to rival Olathe
Easts 106.65 a difference of .47
hundredths of one point.
Hicks, a junior from Greeley,
scored a 9.025 on the uneven bars
for a 4th place finish which led
the Firebird contenders in that
event, and another team-leading score in vault at 9.2 for third
place overall. Senior Firebird
standout Grace Bartle scored a
9.45 to win the floor competition
for the second year in a row,
and took fifth in the all around
competition totaling scores in
all four events at 35.625. Haley
Johnson landed a 6th place finish on the balance beam with a
9.075 in her final senior year performance. Carrie Howland, also
a senior, scored a 9.075 and tied
for 6th in the floor competition.
It was a particularly sweet
championship win for seniors
Bartle, Johnson and Howland,
who add the 2014 title to their
previous 6A state meet wins
in 2011 and 2013. Junior Becca
Moran and sophomore Landon
Prideaux rounded out the Free
State squad.
Hicks was a former level 8
USAG gymnast who had hung
up her leotard last year in favor
of a start-up pole vaulting run
on the Free State Track team
this past spring. That effort led
her to qualify for the 6A state
track meet in May and eventually to be recruited to the Firebird
gymnastics team this fall. She is
the daughter of Dane and Barb
Hicks of Greeley.
Darby Gertsema of Olathe
East earned first all around
across the four events with a
9.650 in vault, 8.950 in bars, 9.250
on the beam and 8.925 floor for
an individual score of 36.775.
Thirty-one 6A gymnasts competed in the meet from Free State,
Newton, Olathe East, Olathe
Northwest, Shawnee Mission
East, Shawnee Mission North,
Shawnee Mission Northwest
and Shawnee Mission West.
Bulldogs tumble at Iola sub state
IOLA The Fillies came back
from earlier week loses with a
gusto in Saturdays 4A sub state
tournament, stripping ACs
chances of moving into the 4A
state volleyball tournament.
It all came down to Saturdays
rematch between AC and Iola,
after the Bulldogs had beaten
Central Heights and the Fillies
on the final night of league play
Tuesday.
The Bulldogs had already
dumped Prairie View 25-17, 2516 in Saturdays sub state, and
Iola had won 25-21 in the first
match before AC came back
with a 25-22 win in the second.
We needed the last set to
get to the state tournament in
Salina, said AC coach Glenn
Suderman, but that wasnt to
be.
It seemed we won on
defense too much, Suderman
said. Emery Driskel had her
hitting going well. I must give
Iola credit they out hit and out
blocked us.
Iola dominated the final set
Bulldogs thwarted by Iola 42-13
GARNETT It looked promising for the Bulldogs in Fridays
Senior Night matchup against
the Iola Broncos when ACs
Chase Ratliff scampered away
on a 67-yard run to score the
first touchdown of the night
early in the first period.
But with a first quarter tied
score of 7-all, Iola dominated
the rest of the game and went
home with a 42-13 win.
It was another tough night
for the Bulldogs, who with
only a single 2014 season win
have struggled with execution
against their remaining opponents. AC heads to Burlington
Friday for its final game.
The Bulldogs problems were
apparent on both sides of the
ball. The defense allowed Iola
over 400 yards. Ratliff led the
defense with 19 tackles followed
by Kyle Lamb with 11 and Tyler
Wolken with 10.
Ratliff also headed up the
offensive effort with some
solid runs and a total of 143
yards rushing on the night.
Quarterback Jacob Rundle
had 80 yards on the ground

Crest falls to SCC 54-20
LEROY The Southern Coffey
County Titans came out strong
in the first period of Fridays
game with Crest to score the
first four TDs of the game. By
the time the Lancers recovered
it was too late to stop the 54-20
loss.
Crests defense slowed but
couldnt stop the SCC rushers in the following quarters,
although they managed to hold
SCC scoreless during the third
period while Austin Green
punched in the quarters only
TD. He also put Crests first
points on the board in the second period. Kyler Bowen scored
last in the fourth period. Crest
failed to convert any of their
point after attempts.
Crest massed 272 yards on
offense, 146 in the air on connections. Bowen caught for 60,
Brallier 42 and Green 35 yards
respectively. Green led the
rushing attack with 66 yards.
Vermillion and McGhee led
Crests defense with 7 tackles
each.

The art of the freebie
The old business saying that
everybody likes something for
free, should be revised to say
everybody like something for
free if they like it.
It comes into play if youre
doing free giveaways either as a
sales promotion, a public relations campaign or as a sales
lead generating method at an
exhibitor booth, tradeshow, etc.
The general gist is this: Your
freebie should speak to your
target and whisper something
like, hey, this is pretty cool
who are these guys!
After all your freebie has an
objective, and thats to help reinforce or establish your brand
with prospective customers
and eventually generate sales.
But note: not all customers
are created equally because
they dont all spend the same
amount of money. Dont be shy
about qualifying your higher
value customers and reserving
a higher-value, more impacting freebie for them as opposed
to the collectors who simply
grab anything from your counter or your exhibit booth if its
free.
Candy Adams at exhibitoronline.com recounts a client whos slogan was Isnt it
time, who had $1 stopwatches
as giveaways for the general
booth browsers at a tradeshow,
but kept $12 gift clocks hidden away for sales leads that
shed chatted with and qualified according to her premium
criteria.
Here are some general tips
on freebies:
1) Have in mind where your
HOW TO SELL STUFF
Dane Hicks
Review Publisher
freebie has to end up in order to
be effective. Printed pens are a
staple, but they can oftentimes
be stuck in a desk drawer or
tossed, half or fully obscured,
in a pencil cup on someones
desk. A notepad, however, often
lands on a flat surface in clear
view (desk or counter) where
its accessible to scratch down a
phone number or message.
2) Unless youre a rock
band or a tattoo parlor, forget
edgy in your freebies. Your
giveaways should reflect your
brand, and your brand probably doesnt entail controversy.
For most of us that means no
printed condoms or t-shirts or
boxer shorts with suggestive
slogans or messages.
3) It sounds basic, but remember your logo and some type
of contact info web address,
email address or phone. Youd
be surprised how many dont
include them.

Nautilus considered living fossil
If you guessed these to be
Chambered Nautilus fossils,
youre absolutely correct!
This fossil and its imprint
were found in a small
dried-up stream bed on the
University of Georgetown
Campus
Golf
Course,
Georgetown,Texas.
The curious looking chambered nautilus, also known
simply as the nautilus,is
considered by many to be
a living fossil. Nautilus
pompilius is the largest and
most common of about six
species known to exist. It
has remained unchanged
for over 400 million years.
During prehistoric times
there were about 10,000
different species of nautilus, but only a handful are
known to survive today. The
nautilus is a mollusk and a
member of the Cephalopod
family. It is closely related
to other Cephalopoda such
as the squid,cuttlefish,and
octopus.
Like most
Cephalopoda, it can use jet
propulsion to attain speeds
over two knots.
The nautilus reproduces
by laying eggs. The eggs
are usually attached to rocks
in shallow water, out of the
site of predators. These
eggs require between 8 & 12
months to fully develop. The
average life span of the nautilus is believed to be about
20 years.
The nautilus spend their
daylight hours in depths of
about 1,800 feet. At night
they migrate to shallower
waters to feed among the
coral reefs. The shell of the
nautilus cannot withstand
the pressure of depths greater than 2,600 feet.
Unfortunately,

STATE REPRESENTATIVE, DISTRICT 4
Marty Read, Republican
STATE REPRESENTATIVE, DISTRICT 4
Lucas B. Cosens, Democrat
I appreciate and am humbled to be serving as your Kansas
District #4 Representative. If reelected, I will continue to work for
conservative values including scaling back government intrusion on
small business, protecting state sovereignty, protecting the unborn
and traditional marriage, supporting our 2nd Amendment Rights,
protecting local control of schools and continued support of job placing Vo Tech Programs.
Southeast Kansas has been the home of
my family for five generations. I am a conservative who respects hard work and common sense.
I have never sought to be a poliltician. When
the new congressional district was formed, I
was approached by a number of value-minded
families within our community who believed my
background as a business owner and family man
would bring the values we need to our governRead
ment in Topeka.
Endorsed by Kansans for Life, National Rifle Association, A
Rating, National Federation of Independent Business, 100 % voting
for small business, Kansas Rifle Association, Kansas Chamber of
Commerce
Even at a young age Dr. Cosens had an interest in public
service and helping others. During his college years at K-State he
discovered his passion for public service as intern in the Kansas
House of Representatives. In his private practice Dr. Cosens is routinely helping patients to become healthier and functional individuals to our society.
Already an elected official as a Fort Scott
City Commissioner Dr. Cosens knows how important the decisions coming down from Topeka can
make on small and rural communities, such as
those in the 4th House district. He understands
Kansas is about middle of the road common
sense solutions not far flung philosophical ideology on either extreme. This is how he solves
problems for his patients and for the citizens of
Fort Scott, moderate approaches with progresCosens
sive visioning. This is common sense, this is
Kansas.
Kansas has historically been governed in the center, the common sense approach. Perhaps what was once common is not so
for what we see in Topeka is anything but centered politics, let alone
common sense.
STATE REPRESENTATIVE, DISTRICT 5
Kevin Jones, Republican
STATE REPRESENTATIVE, DISTRICT 5
Cleon Rickel, Democrat
I decided to run for the Kansas House of Representatives 5th District Seat
for two reasons. First, I believe that the greatest thing I can do here on this earth
is to serve others. Having been a pastor, I am inspired by the words of Jesus
in Matt 20:26-28, Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great
among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to
be first must be your slave just as the Son of Man did
not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as
a ransom for many. It would be my pleasure to serve the
people of our great state in this capacity. Secondly, I care
deeply about my home State and about its future. I have
a vision to see Kansas become a model for our nation. I
deserve your vote for 3 reasons. One, when considering
this opportunity, I found that a majority of the people in
the 5th District share my values & principles. Second, I
know this place; it is my home. I was raised and graduJones
ated from high-school & college while living in Wellsville.
Keeping my residency in Kansas while in the military &
abroad, I gained experience and knowledge that have made me competent &
confident for the tasks Kansas is currently facing. Third, with the relationships
& insight of an eventful two year term in Topeka, I feel I am without-a-doubt the
best choice for the 5th District. I am durable, energetic, passionate, easy to talk
to, reasonable and realistic with proven leadership.
I am compelled to run for election so that my children (our children) appreciate & love our home (Kansas) for the foundation & platform it is to chase the
American dream. I am a pro-life, pro-2nd amendment, pro-business, pro-family, traditional values, pro-security fiscal conservative. My platform is simple…
1) Protect our Kansas Sovereignty from incredulous Federal over-reach and
ignorance, 2) encourage personal, business, and economic growth while living within our means, and 3) protect and defend family values & education
that define our Kansas Heritage. Key issues that are important to me include
De-incentivizing illegal immigration, an Article 5 Convention of the States for
purpose of a balance budget amendment, continuing to help local business
creation and growth, and creating life-long learners within a education funding
system that works.
Im Cleon Rickel, Garnett, and Im the Democratic candidate for
the 5th District of the House of Representatives.
My wife Debra and I have four children, college
age and older, Andrew, David and twins John
and Miranda. Weve lived in Garnett 13 years.
Ive been a long time newspaper guy at several
small-town Kansas newspapers. Now, Im the
news director for KOFO Radio, Ottawa, and contributor to the Anderson County Advocate.
Ive been a member of the Anderson County
USD 365 school board for six years and a
Rickel
Garnett Library trustee for five. As a member of
those boards, weve ensured that the important
things got done.
I prefer say what Im for: education, community health and mental
health, and more solar and wind energy. But unfortunately, theres
only one big issue this year the states finances and Ive been
more negative than Ive wanted.
Because of Gov. Brownback and the Legislatures reckless
income-tax cuts, we face a financial and budgetary train wreck. The
Kansas Constitution orders that the state cant end the year in the
red. That means that by June 30th, the state has to have at least
one penny in the bank.
However, because of the income tax cuts and because Brownback
and the Legislature approved a budget that was already in the red,
state finances wont be close to even one cent by June 30 (well
likely be short by a half-billion dollars).
SECRETARY OF STATE
Kris Kobach, Republican
SECRETARY OF STATE
Jean Kurtis Schodorf, Democrat
Kris W. Kobach is the Secretary of State for Kansas, sworn in on
January 10, 2011. Kansas voters elected him by a wide margin on a platform focused on stopping voter fraud. With that goal in mind, Secretary
Kobach began his term by introducing the Secure and Fair Elections
(SAFE) Act in the Kansas House of Representatives.
Kobach previously was a Professor of Constitutional Law at the
University of Missouri Kansas City from 1996 to
2011. He is also a nationally-recognized litigator who
represents US citizens, cities, and states in cases
involving illegal immigration across the country.
Secretary Kobach grew up in Topeka, Kansas, and
graduated co-valedictorian from Washburn Rural
High School in 1984. He received his Bachelor of
Arts degree with highest distinction from Harvard
University in 1988, graduating at the top of his class
in the Harvard Government Department. In 1988,
Kobach
the British government awarded him a Marshall
Scholarship, which took him to England for post-graduate study. In 1992,
he received his doctorate in Political Science from Oxford University. In
1995, he received his Juris Doctorate from Yale Law School, where he
served as notes development editor on the Yale Law Journal.
In 2001, Secretary Kobach was awarded a White House Fellowship,
which took him to Washington, DC, to work for the Bush Administration
in the personal office of United States Attorney General John Ashcroft.
Secretary Kobach served as the Attorney Generals chief advisor on
immigration law and border security. After his fellowship year ended,
the Attorney General appointed Kobach as his Counsel. After the 9/11
attacks, Secretary Kobach was put in charge of Department of Justice
efforts to prevent terrorists from exploiting gaps in U.S. immigration controls
Secretary Kobach and his wife Heather have four daughters: Lilly,
Reagan, Molly and Charlotte. They reside in Piper, Kansas, and attend
Open Door Baptist Church.
ATTORNEY GENERAL
Derek Schmidt, Republican
For the past 10 years six as your state senator and the past
four as your attorney general I have been grateful for the opportunity to serve Anderson County. This year, Im a candidate for
reelection and would like to continue serving to remain focused on
three priorities:
First, we are providing leadership for public safety. Key
accomplishments include construction of a muchneeded new KBI crime lab, toughening the Hard
50 sentence for premeditated first degree murder, prosecuting methamphetamine crimes, and
focusing on crimes against children.
Second, we have focused on consumer
protection and recovering money defrauded from
the state treasury. In the first three years,
we recovered a record-setting $350 million for
Schmidt
Kansas consumers and taxpayers.
Third, we have pushed back hard against
federal agencies that overreach their authority to the detriment of
Kansas. We are fighting against the EPAs proposed Waters of the
U.S. rule that would extend federal regulation to every pond and
ditch in Kansas. We also are fighting EPA regulations that threaten
to drive up Kansans electric bills.
At your attorney generals office, we have worked hard to provide professional legal services for Kansas and to deliver efficiently
those services required of us by law from processing concealed
carry permit applications, to supporting crime victims, to administering grants that support local criminal justice agencies.
Thank you for your consideration. It would be an honor to continue serving as your Kansas attorney general, and I ask for your
vote on November 4th.
Born on a Marine Corps base in North Carolina, Jean Kurtis
Schodorf grew up knowing the sacrifice and the service that comes
with preserving our freedoms and protecting the American dream.
Jeans father, Brigadier General William Kurtis, was one of the
Marine Corps first 1,000 aviators. His initial assignment was to
search for fellow Kansan Amelia Earhart. After serving in World
War II, Brigadier General Kurtis retired from the
Marines, moving his family back to Kansas.
Jean and her brother, Bill, spent their
childhood on the family farm in Independence,
Kansas, and graduated from Independence High
School. After earning a bachelors degree and a
masters degree in communicative disorders from
the University of New Mexico, Jean returned to
Southeast Kansas where she worked as a
speech and language pathologist in the local
Schodorf
schools. For the past 36 years, Jean has lived in
Wichita where she raised her family and worked as a speech and
language pathologist. After going back to school at WSU to earn a
doctorate degree in communicative disorders, Jean continues to
work as a speech and language pathologist with children and senior
citizens in the Wichita area. For 12 years, she served on the Wichita
School Board, including three years as board president.
Jean represented the 25th District in the Kansas Senate for
over a decade. In the Senate, Jean earned positions as the Chair
of both the Education committee and the Legislative Educational
Planning Committee. She also served as Vice Chair of the Joint
Committee on Arts and Cultural Resources and as a member of the

ATTORNEY GENERAL
A.J. Kotich, Democrat
A.J is engaged in the private practice of law, focusing on labor
and employment law issues.
A.J. is a graduate of Northwestern Oklahoma State University.
He received his Juris Doctorate from Washburn University School of
Law, Topeka, KS. He additionally graduated from the Basic School
for Marine Corps Officers at Quantico, VA; the Naval Justice School,
Newport, RI; and the Prosecutors School at
Northwestern University, Chicago, IL.
I am a Marine Corps Veteran (JAG) and
a 44-year resident of the state.
I have
served seven Governors and thirteen Cabinet
Secretaries of both political parties. A.J. served
as Chief Attorney for three major state agencies, Kansas Department of Human Resources,
Department of Labor, and the Department of
Administration. I have served as a Special
Kotich
Assistant Attorney General for every Attorney
General beginning with Bob Stephan. This illustrates my ability to bridge political differences.
The three most important priorities I would face if elected:
Utilizing the principles of economy of management and efficiency within the Attorney Generals office. The present Attorney
General has spent in excess of 8.1 million dollars of taxpayer
money on outside attorneys to do his work. I would reduce that
cost.
As Attorney General, I will monitor legislative initiatives to give
timely advice to prevent passage of laws that will create unneeded
litigation at taxpayer expense.
There needs to be more transparency in the AGs office,
including regarding tobacco settlement money, and consistent
speed in processing concealed-carry permits.

God said, I will never
leave you or forsake you
Now Naaman was commander of the army of the
king of Aram. He was a great
man in the sight of his master
and highly regarded because
through him the Lord had given
victory Aram. He was a valiant
soldier but he had leprosy. Now
bands from Aram had gone out
and had taken captive a young
girl from Israel, and she served
Naamans wife. She said to her
mistress, If only my master
would see the prophet who is in
Samaria! He would cure him of
his leprosy. (2 Kings 5:13)
Naaman went to his master
the king of Aram and told him
what the girl had said. The
king bid him go and be cured.
So Naaman left taking with
him a letter from the king, ten
talents of silver, six thousands
shekels of gold and ten sets
of clothing. His intent was to
pay for his healing. Naaman
went with his horses and chariots and stopped at the door of
Elisha the prophet. He was in
no way prepared for the kind of
reception he received. Elisha
sent a message to say to him,
Go wash yourself seven times
in the Jordan and your flesh
will be restored and you will
be cleansed. (2 Kings 5:10)
This informal cure was not
what Naaman expected and
he became angry. He felt he
deserved a face to face meeting
with Elisha and that some type
of ritual or ceremony would
be required. Not only that but
the idea of washing in a foreign
river insulted him. He left in a
rage.
Naamans servants went to

him and ask him this question?
If the prophet had told you to
do some great thing would you
not have done it? (2 Kings 5:13)
So he went down and dipped
himself in the Jordan seven
times as the man of God had
told him and was healed.
All of us sometimes find
ourselves in Naamans situation, we hear Gods clear direction but it just cant be right.
Naaman learned there are
things that money and power
cannot buy. He also learned
a greater lesson than that.
God often asks us to swallow
our pride. We learn that the
best way to accomplish things
sometimes results in a lesson
in humility for us. If we could
accomplish things ourselves
how would God ever receive the
glory he deserves. Over time
money, power and pride will
eventually let us down which
leaves us with but one thing to
hold on to, the person of Jesus
Christ. God made a promise
to Joshua which is applicable
to each of us. As I was with
Moses so I will be with you; I
will never leave you or forsake
you. (Joshua 1:5)

Home Edition A semi-annual supplement
Tuesday, October 28, 2014
2 HOME EDITION Special to The Anderson County Review – October 28, 2014
How to give your home an annual checkup
(BPT) – Theres no better time than
now to give your home the attention it deserves. Give it an annual
checkup before cold weather arrives
to help add comfort, save energy and
cut home maintenance in the longrun.
When inspecting your homes
windows and doors, heres what to
check:
Inspect interior and exterior finishes: Over time, paint and stain can
weather away. Flaking or peeling
may mean that its time to refinish
or replace the unit. When replacing windows or doors, consider factory prefinished wood or fiberglass
options, or vinyl options that dont
need painting or staining, to save
time and money.
Look for damaged exterior surfaces or signs of leaks: Check your
sprinkler system to make sure its
watering your lawn and landscape,
not soaking your windows or doors.
Cracked or deteriorated wood may
be a sign of water penetration. Leaks
can linger and affect interior walls,
floors or ceilings, so look closely
for discoloration or other moisture
signs.
If you spot a problem, track its
trail. For example, discolored trim
around a window might actually be
caused by moisture entering a ways
away. With a leaky roof, water may
run down inside the wall and appear
at the window. Contact a professional for help in making home repairs.
Clear windowsills and tracks of
dirt and debris: Sand, leaves, insects
or pine needles stuck in weatherstripping can affect the performance
of your windows and doors. Open
the windows and clean the opening
with a soft brush, like a dry paint
brush or vacuum attachment. Do the
same for sliding patio doors.
Try opening and closing: Open
your windows and doors to make
sure moving parts work, and units
close properly. Replace worn or broken parts.
Inspect weather-stripping: Reattach loose weather-stripping
around windows or doors, and
replace material thats ripped or
torn.
Replace or repair broken locks:
If locks feel loose or dont work
smoothly, replace them. Keep windows and doors locked when not in
use. Locks help hold doors and windows tightly, to lock out rain, wind,
snow and insects.
Inspect weep and breather holes:
Weep holes in the exterior of windows, allow excess moisture to
escape, while breather holes allow
air exchange within certain components. Clear blocked holes of dirt or
debris with a wire or toothpick.
Check exterior sealants and caulk
on and around windows and doors.
Pay attention to areas susceptible
to rain, water and extreme sunlight.
Remove damaged material and reapply sealant.
In coastal locations, rinse exterior
metal like exterior aluminum trim
or cladding: Rinsing exterior metal
parts three or four times a year can
help extend the life of your windows
and doors by minimizing corrosion
from salt spray or fog.
Feel for signs of air leakage around
the window or door: Improperly
installed windows or doors can be
drafty, decrease energy efficiency,
and allow unwanted moisture into
your home. To help save on utility
bills and keep your home more comfortable year-round, replace drafty
old, leaky windows with new, energy
efficient windows installed properly.

Now's the time to inspect your home's windows and doors to make sure you're getting
the most energy efficiency.
3 home improvement upgrades that will
save you money this winter, next summer
(BPT) – If youve sweltered throughout summer and have noticed your
cooling bills increase every month,
now may be the opportune time to
consider some home improvement
upgrades that will let you better manage your HVAC equipment while lowering your monthly expenses.
Building industry experts suggest
that creating a comfortable home
shouldnt mean homeowners have
to compromise on which upgrades
they complete or the materials used.
Smart home improvement investments can mean homeowners are better protected from the elements while
creating a greater level of comfort.
There are three key home improvement upgrades that homeowners can
do to improve the quality and comfort
of their home.
1. Windows and doorways can
account for up to 20 percent of
the air escaping from the average
American home, according to the
U.S. Department of Energy. This significant amount of air leakage can
often mean HVAC equipment will
work overtime to compensate – meaning an increase in monthly expenses.
Replacing your existing windows and
doors with newer Energy Star-rated
options can mean better energy efficiency resulting in lower bills as well
as increased comfort. If your budget
is tight, energy efficiency improvements such as weather-stripping and
caulking to existing windows can also
help reduce air leakage.
2. One of the easiest ways to optimize overall home performance is
researching and selecting high efficiency, green materials. Low-flush
water systems, solar hot water systems and even small-scale geothermal
energy systems along with Energy
Star-rated appliances can significantly slash energy consumption and
your overall carbon footprint while
maintaining a comfortable, enjoyable
living space for you and your family.
3. Although many homeowners
might not realize it, a finished basement can make a noticeable impact
on the overall performance of a home.
The majority of basements in older
homes, and even in some newer homes,
are often just poured concrete with
bare walls and floors creating a cold,
unwelcoming space that moisture
can seep into very easily. Investing
in spray foam insulation, like that
from Icynene, in an unfinished basement as well as throughout the entire
home, ensures a greater level of comfort, moisture management and cost
control.
Spray foam insulation provides
thermal insulating value as well as
air sealing, meaning air leakage is
significantly reduced allowing your
HVAC equipment to perform optimally. Spray foam insulation both airseals and insulates to stop air leakage
from occurring, allowing homeowners to reduce energy consumption,
effectively control their indoor environments and live greener.
When installed, spray foam insulation expands to completely seal a
homes walls, floors and ceilings to
prevent air leakage. Insulation experts
from Icynene note that quality spray
foam insulation can noticeably reduce
heating and cooling costs, in some
cases by up to 50 percent. More information on how spray foam insulation
can help improve household energy
efficiency and reduce air leakage is
available at icynene.com.

Special to The Anderson County Review – October 28, 2014 3
Preparing for fall and winter pests: How to
keep wildlife and insects out of your home
(BPT) – For many pests, including
rodents, spiders and cockroaches, the
change in season indicates the need to
find shelter from the colder temperatures ahead. In some cases, this shelter
is the same place that keeps your family warm and dry.
The National Pest Management
Association (NPMA) reminds homeowners that fall pest-proofing is important to prevent pests from making their
home in yours.
Unwanted pests are more than just
a nuisance in the home. They pose
serious health and property threats as
well. Rodents can gnaw through wires
causing structural damage, putting
homes at risk for fire. Rodents also can
carry diseases such as salmonella and
hantavirus. Rodents can also cause secondary infestations by bringing fleas,
mites or ticks into homes.
Other pests like cockroaches are
known to trigger allergies and asthma
symptoms – especially in young children – and some species of spiders, if
disturbed, will bite in defense.
Pest prevention is a year-round
process, and in anticipation of cooler weather, its time for a change in
the ways you protect your home from
unwanted intruders, says Missy
Henriksen, vice president of public
affairs for the NPMA. Besides being
a nuisance, pests can also pose health
and property threats. Homeowners
must take proactive measures to prevent pests from coming indoors.
The NPMA recommends these fall
pest-proofing tips for homeowners:
* Screen attic vents and openings to
chimneys and any other areas where
homes may be open to the outdoors.
* Keep basements, attics and crawl
spaces well ventilated and dry. Pests
are attracted to areas of moisture,
something they need to survive. Using
dehumidifiers in basements and garages will help keep these areas dry.
* Seal cracks and crevices. Dont
forget about the outside of the home.
Use caulk and steel wool to seal any
potential entryways for pests. Pay close
attention to where utility pipes enter
the structure. Mice can fit through
holes as small as the circumference of
a dime.
* Replace loose mortar and weather
stripping around the home. These are
easy ways to keep out not only pests,
but also cold air.
* Store firewood at least 20 feet away
from the house and keep shrubbery in
the yard trimmed back. Eliminating
areas where pests can hide near your
home can reduce the chance of them
finding a way inside.
* Have a proper outdoor drainage
system. Installing gutters or repairing
an existing system will help draw water
and moisture away from your home,
preventing any leaks or build up that
might attract pests.
* Work with a pest professional. The
best way to protect against a pest infestation in your home is early prevention
by following these pest-proofing tips.
However, if you suspect an infestation
in your home, contact a licensed pest
professional to treat the problem.

your area. For information about common pests and how to prevent them,

Fall pest-proofing is important to prevent pests from moving in and taking over your
home.
Prevent frozen water pipes from flooding your home
(BPT) – If you think water damage isnt
a real threat for millions of Americans,
consider this: water damage caused $9.1
billion in annual homeowner property
losses over a three-year period, according
to a 2011 ACE Insurance Underwriters
study. Despite that, many people dont
worry about protecting their home
against water damage because they
believe their home is safe so long as it
isnt located on a flood plain.
This couldnt be further from the
truth.
In fact, flooding grabs the headlines,
but the majority of water damage home
insurance claims actually come from
leaky or burst pipes.
The primary cause for concern is
your water heater. Approximately 10
million water heaters were sold in 2009
according to The US Department of
Energy. Appliance Magazine estimates
that 69 percent of those will develop a
slow water leak or a sudden water burst
when they reach their life expectancy
– anywhere from five to 25 years, depending on the model. An estimated 5 to 7 million water heaters fail ever year, and all
failures carry with them the possibility
of causing water damage. Experts estimate the average cost for repairs after
a water heater fails can exceed $20,000
according to the Insurance Information
Institute.
Another common household appliance that has the potential to create
significant water damage when it fails
is the washing machine. A washing
machines potential for water spillage
does not always come from the machine
itself but from the hot and cold-water
hoses connected to it. As the machine
ages, so too does the risk that a rupture
of one of the hoses will cause a major
flooding event.
The average cost to repair water
damage related to a washing-machine
hose rupture is $5,308, according to the
Insurance Institute for Business and
Home Safety.
Finally, homeowners face threats
from winter temperatures that can
cause water lines to freeze and rupture, spilling water. In fact, frozen and
broken water pipes rank No. 2 behind
hurricanes in terms of both the number
of homes damaged and the amount of
claim costs. According to the Insurance
Information Network of California,
repair costs of around $50,000 due to
flooding from frozen and broken water
pipes are common.
Courtesy of Brandpoint Content
Don't let frozen water pipes turn your home into a flood plain.
So what you can do to minimize these
potential risks and avoid these catastrophes?
Early detection of flooding or leakage
can mean the difference between a simple do-it-yourself clean-up project and
an insurance claim amounting to thousands of dollars. Uncontrolled flooding
can cause catastrophic damage within
minutes or hours; in just the time that
youre away at work an undetected flood
can cause tens of thousands of dollars
of damage to the interior of a dwelling.
Modern technology, can interrupt the
source of flooding or water when a rupture occurs. Inexpensive water sensors
placed near the water heater, washing
machine or other appliances – like a sink
and toilet – alert the system when they
sense water. The system then shuts off
the water at its source, mitigating any
damage.

Keep them home, happy and studying:
Creating a kid-friendly space
(BPT) – Would a great study space ease
your childs transition from summer
to school? Perhaps an awesome lounge
area could convince your teens – and
all their friends – that your house is the
best hangout spot ever. Whatever your
objectives, a few design and decorating
tricks can help you create a kid-friendly space in your home.
The basics of good design that make
grown-up spaces appealing also work
for childrens spaces. When designing a kid-friendly room, however, its
important to keep in mind not only the
purpose of the room (study, fun, sleep,
etc.) but the age of the occupant, his or
her interests as well as incorporating
fun into the design. Here are some tips
to get you started:
* Consider creating a theme. Kids of
all ages love themes. To decide which
one might be right for your project,
consider things your child has shown
an enduring interest in. For example,
she may be into princesses right now
and hate the theme next year. On the
other hand, if shes always loved the
color pink and has a passion for animals, those elements could be worked
into a theme that shell appreciate for
years to come.
* Choose flooring that fulfills multiple needs. Carpeting absorbs sound
(for when kids play loud video games
or music) and is comfortable for young-
sters who like to sit or lie on the floor
while they do homework, read, watch
TV or socialize. Whats more, its available in virtually every hue and pattern
imaginable, ensuring youll find something that appeals to both your design
sense and your childs tastes. Stainresistant formulas and durable fibers
ensure modern carpeting can stand up
to the rigors of use in a childs room.
And, according to the Carpet & Rug
Institute, properly cleaned carpet can
maintain indoor air quality, making it
a viable choice for families impacted by
asthma and allergies.
* A childs space needs layers of
lighting, just as adult spaces do. As
youre choosing lighting, keep in mind
how your child will use the room. If he
will be doing homework, task lighting
and desk lights will illuminate study
areas. Will the room be a movie room or
a hangout for older teens? Recessed
and dimmable lighting may be appropriate. Dont forget to include natural
light in your illumination plans. Avoid
heavy drapery. Instead, opt for bright
colors and lightweight materials for
window treatments so windows admit
ample light. If you have a larger budget, consider adding a skylight to provide light while preserving privacy.
* Organization is key in a childs
room, and ample storage facilitates
good organization. Depending on the
Don't forget to give the kids a fun place to study.
size of the room and how it will be
used, shelving, portable cubes, book
cases and other furnishings can provide plenty of storage space. For desks,
look for desktop organizers that will
keep important papers and supplies
tidy and close at hand. By helping kids
stay organized now, youll be laying the
foundation for a lifetime of good organizational skills.
* Remember the fun factor. Whatever
the purpose of a childs room, fun
should be a universal ingredient. You
can infuse fun in a room in many ways,
from creating a video game center for
lounge rooms to choosing colorful, texturally appealing carpeting for a bedroom. A touch of whimsy, such as a
swing hung from the ceiling or a wall
mural of your childs favorite cartoon
character, can produce smiles every
time kids see them.
With some creativity and the right
decorating materials, its possible to
create a space that will make children
comfortable, happy and ready to tackle
the new school year.

Fall projects to make your home sensational
(BPT) – There still is time to complete
your unfinished outdoor projects. Sixty
percent of homeowners will accomplish
a home improvement project this year,
according to survey data from the Zillow
Digs Summer Home Improvement Trend
and Spending Survey.
Follow these tips to make your homes
exterior shine.
* Smooth over concrete surfaces. In
order to prevent trips or falls, now is a
good time to fix and patch those cracks
in the driveway or garage. Be sure to fix
them now before they get larger and you
could incur larger repair costs. It will
also help prevent any future accidents.
Small cracks can be fixed with concrete
caulk while large cracks require a patch.
Make sure to clean out the crack before
applying either of these substances.
* Repaint the deck. Improving your
deck, patio or porch is the seventh most
popular home improvement project
according to RE/MAX and its easy to
see why. When you picture yourself outside, you probably picture yourself sitting on the deck. So, make your deck
stand out with a fresh coat of paint.
Decorating outside of your home is
now all the rage, says Matthew Mead,
author of Backyard Style. Your deck
neednt be brown and sullen. Infuse
your backyard space by selecting whatever color you want and spray the floor
of your deck. Your deck will be the toast
of the neighborhood.
* Give your old patio furniture a new
look. If youre going to reinvent your
deck, why stop there? Why not refresh
your patio furniture to complement
your decks new color, too? Revive any
outdoor furniture with an easy spray,
says Mead. With a simple coat of paint
you can transform tables, chairs, and
anything wicker in any hue or shade
you desire. In my new book Backyard
Style, I show how to take simple fleamarket finds and, with some paint and
very little effort, transform them into
show-stopping decorative accessories.
* Caulk around windows and any
exterior joints, including doors. Many
people think of this as a preventative
project for winter, but a fresh application of caulk will protect cool air conditioning from escaping when you need it
most.
* Make your homes exterior sparkle.
If your home suffered any damage during the winter, now is the perfect time
for repairs that will make your home
look great again. Walk around your
home and look for damaged or missing
siding. Replace these pieces and then
use a pressure washer to clean and wash
away excess dirt and grime. Using a special detergent appropriate for cleaning
your home will give you better results.
Once youre done with the siding, dont
forget to grab the window cleaner and
make those windows sparkle.
Each of these projects can return
between 67 and 112 percent of their
value to your home, not to mention the
added joy youll receive from these home
improvements. So get out there and get
to work. The sooner you finish your
project, the sooner youll be able to enjoy
the rest of the year in style.

5 home improvements that boost safety,
comfort and the value of your home
(BPT) – Home improvement season is
in full swing, and homeowners across
the country are deciding which projects to tackle this year. By taking a
strategic approach to selecting home
improvements, you can go beyond
adding value to your property – you
can also boost your comfort and safety as well.
Many homeowners select stylistic
updates when deciding which projects
[they want] for their house, but some
of the most valuable home improvements arent visual, says Ed Del
Grande, home improvement expert,
author, TV host and spokesperson
for Kohler. Things that add comfort
and safety to a home typically have
the best return on investment, as well
as the most pull with todays savvy
homebuyers come resale time.
Del Grande recommends five home
improvements to enhance the value,
safety and comfort of your home:
1) Standby Home Generator
A standby generator is installed
outside your house (like a central airconditioning unit) and comes on automatically within seconds of a utility power outage to keep your property up-and-running whether youre
home or away. Standby generators
are connected to existing gas lines in
your home (propane or natural gas),
so theres no refueling necessary. A
standby generator can power critical
appliances and systems in a home,
including lights, heating/cooling systems, refrigerators/freezers, sump
pumps, security systems, office equipment and sophisticated electronics.
Adding a standby generator not only
increases your comfort and safety, its
a sound investment. In addition to preventing losses due to power outages, a
backup power generator recoups 67.5
percent of its cost at resale, according
to Remodeling magazines 2014 Cost
vs. Value Report.
2) Lighting
Updating lighting can have a dramatic effect on a homes aesthetic, but
beauty is just one benefit of redoing
light fixtures inside and out. Lights
highlight architectural features plus
add a safety element to the property. Properly lit paths, stairs and
entranceways make it easy to navigate throughout the home. Use solar
light to brighten pathways, stair lights
to illuminate steps, wall sconces to
light functional areas within the living room or bathroom, and undercabinet lighting to illuminate kitchen
surfaces for safer cooking.
3) Front door
In addition to properly lighting
your entrance, there is another simple and affordable update you can
make to boost curb appeal and home
security: a new steel front door. Doors

look nice, but they make it easy for
criminals to break into your home.
Give your homes facade a facelift
and added security by replacing your
entry door with a steel option. With
a 96.6 percent recouped cost, it is the
number one remodeling project for
resale value, according to the Cost vs.
Value Report. Plus, steel front doors
can be purchased in a variety of colors or easily painted to match your
homes existing color palette.
4) Security system
A security system assures owners
that their family and property are
secure day and night. Whether you
hire a company to install it or you
go the DIY route, there are numerous options. Smart security systems
go beyond cameras, fire alarms and
motion detectors; they allow homeowners to monitor their homes
online so they can see when children
come home, packages are delivered,
or whether they forgot to shut the
garage door. Adjustments to locks,
lighting and temperature can all be
made remotely. Plus, adding a security system often qualifies for a discount on homeowners insurance, so
ask your agent.
5) Sump pump
With the recent storms in the
Northeast and across the country,
flooding has become a major concern. If your home has a basement,
it should have a functioning sump
pump. Often located under stairways or in basement utility spaces, a
sump pump is a special pump that is
only activated when water reaches a
certain level in a basin that collects
water and enables proper drainage
around the home. Sump pumps are
critical to prevent basement flooding,
and they reduce dampness around a
homes foundation. The upfront cost
of a sump pump is easily justified
when you think about the thousands
of dollars in damages it prevents: the
average cost of a flooded basement
is $21,000 according to FloodSmart.

Curb energy loss with smart
home renovation investments
(BPT) – While homeowners may not
immediately think of their attic as
a major source of energy loss, the
reality is that as much as 25 percent of the energy lost in the average
American home occurs there. As the
weather begins to get cooler, you may
be inclined to increase the thermostat to maintain a warm and comfortable home. However, air leakage,
caused by numerous gaps and cracks
throughout your homes infrastructure, particularly the attic, can cause
your HVAC equipment to work overtime and place a strain on your wallet
every month.
The U.S Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) says the attic is one of
the easiest places within the home to
address energy loss. There are several smart home renovation investments that homeowners can make to
reduce excessive energy loss through
the attic.
Ensuring your home has a polyolefin plastic house wrap is one common
method to minimize air leakage. This
type of wrap is commonly installed
during the construction process as
part of an integrated, whole building
envelope system. Having your home
professionally caulked and sealed is
another simple and quick investment
that addresses energy loss within the
home. Another consideration is having whole house fans installed. These
fans help by pulling air through the
house and are particularly effective
during warmer months.
One of the most effective methods to
eliminate air leakage and live greener
is ensuring that your attic is insulated with a high performance insulation solution. Traditional insulation
is prone to sagging, leaving gaps and
absorbing moisture which can have
significant health impacts on occupants while allowing for significant
energy loss. Replacing your homes
insulation with a high-performance
material such as spray foam insulation will both insulate and air seal the
entire attic space leading to immediate cost savings. Insulation experts
from Icynene suggest that quality
spray foam insulation can noticeably
reduce heating and cooling costs, in
some cases by up to 50 percent. These
savings will continue over the longterm.
A growing number of building professionals are recommending spray
foam insulation as a valuable, costeffective solution. Suitable for any
climate, spray foam insulation helps
retain the conditioned air within the
building, allowing the heating and
cooling equipment to work more efficiently rather than compensating
for energy losses through the attic
space. As a result of the improved
energy consumption, heating and
cooling costs are kept down and air
leaks become a thing of the past.
Homeowners can learn the five easy
steps of selecting the right insulation
for their home on icynene.com.

DIY projects to help you whip winter
(BPT) – The leaves are starting to
fall off the trees, the birds are flying
south and you can feel the temperature dropping. Winter is on its way
and while squirrels pack away food
before the first snow fall, youll be
relieved to know that you still have
time to finish some projects listed
below to get your home ready for
winter.
* Tackle the yard. Your yard will
fall into dormancy during the winter, but a little prep now can help
your green space bounce back in the
spring. Fertilize your lawn using a
lawn spreader from your local rental
store to turn this all-day chore into
a task that takes just a couple of
hours. And dont waste the rest of
your day raking the yard; instead,
rent a leaf blower to finish this task
in a fraction of the time.
* Seal the gaps. Find the places
where cold air sneaks into your home
and you will drastically reduce your
heating bills throughout winter.
Feel along your windows and doors
for any drafts. Seal larger cracks
with caulk and cover your windows
in plastic wrap for comprehensive
protection. If you have a real chimney, dont forget to close the damper
to prevent cold air from billowing
down the chimney.
* Clean the carpets. The winter
season can be hard on your carpets
as snow, salt and dirt get tracked in
from outside. Cleaning them before
winter begins puts them in the best
possible shape for the colder months
ahead. You may think you need to
hire professional carpet cleaners,
but you can actually handle this
project yourself by renting a carpet
cleaner to conquer the task. You
can visit RentalHQ.com to find your
local rental store and for tips on
renting a carpet cleaner.
* Protect pipes from freezing. A
ruptured pipe can ruin your home
and everything in it. Ruptured pipes
occur during winter when the pipes
freeze and the frozen water inside
expands. You can protect against
this by never letting your homes
temperature fall below 65 degrees.

Falling leaves and other debris will clog your gutters and downspots, which can cause ice dams in the winter.
Wrap pipes running along the exterior walls in heat tape, and be sure to
check on your pipes on those bitterly
cold nights.
* Empty the gutters. If left
unchecked, falling leaves and other
debris will clog your gutters and
downspouts, which can cause ice
dams in the winter. Start by trimming or removing trees and hedges
near the gutters. If you lack the tools
to complete this project, you can
rent a brush cutter, tree trimmer or
ladder to do the job. Once obstructions have been removed, clear the
gutters to prevent a future home
disaster.

Trendy bathroom upgrades that dont cost a bundle
(BPT) – No one ever said trendy
translates to cheap. Yet when it
comes to on-trend, luxury upgrades,
you dont have to spend like a diva to
make your bathroom look and function like a designers dream. From
skylights to shower seats, some of
the hottest bathroom trends of 2014
are surprisingly affordable to accomplish.
Home website Houzz polled users
and asked what bathroom upgrades
they most desired. Many of the
answers were both luxurious and
affordable (like skylights and doubleflush toilets). Others were downright
easy, such as towel warmers and foot
rests in the shower. Here are five hot
bathroom improvement trends and
some ideas for incorporating them
into your home:
1. Skylights
Many Houzz respondents said they
would like a skylight in their bathroom. Theyre definitely on to something. In rooms where privacy is a
concern, skylights can provide both
natural light and ventilation without
exposing your personal business to
the neighbors. Theyre both beautiful
– endowing bathrooms with a major
wow factor – and practical; Energy
Star-qualified no-leak, solar-powered
fresh-air skylights can help trim electricity costs by providing natural light
and passively venting moist, warm air
from the room. Install solar-powered
skylights and blinds, and the cost of
the products, as well as the installation, can qualify for a 30 percent
federal tax credit. And for 10 weeks
during the summer theres also a $200
cash rebate from Velux on solar skylights. You can create a big impact
for a small price with a makeover
that only takes a couple of days. Visit
www.whyskylights.com to learn more
and to locate the closest certified
installer.
2. Lighted vanity mirror
In keeping with the lighting
theme, 41 percent said they would
like a lighted vanity mirror. Home
improvement stores, design studios
and online retailers carry a wide variety of options in shapes, sizes, styles
and light sources (LED, CFL or incandescent) to suit virtually every taste.
Because installing a lighted vanity
mirror is a simple do-it-yourself job,
benjamin realty
2×3
its also a very low-cost improvement
that has a big impact on a bathrooms
appearance and usability. With such
a huge variety, its possible to find
a mirror that will fit your budget,
whether its less than $100 or more
than $1,000.
3. Double-flush toilet
The ongoing trend of making
homes greener may have helped
inspire the 23 percent of Houzz fans
who said they want a double-flush toilet. Dual-flush toilets allow you to use
only the water you need to get the job
done – less for liquid waste, more for
solids – so they contribute to a homes
overall footprint and can help trim
water bills. Its possible to find dualflush options for less than $250, so
theyre a lower-cost upgrade to begin
with. Theyre even more cost-effective
when installed by a savvy DIYer.
4. Towel warmers
Who doesnt love the comforting
warmth of a towel fresh out of the
dryer? Towel warmers deliver that
effect without the hassle and expense
of running the dryer. Wall-mounted
or free-standing, plug-in or hardwired, all towel warmers work the
same way; heated bars warm towels
hung on the rack, providing a cozy,
warm towel every time you bathe.
Plug-in versions install easily, while
hard-wired ones may require professional installation. Prices can range
from less than $100 to more than $600,
depending on the style and features
you choose.
5. Shower foot rest
Clearly, this is one improvement
that most benefits the women in a
home, but 10 percent of those polled
by Houzz said they wanted a foot rest
in the shower. This one is such an economical improvement, you may wonder why anyone wouldnt do it. Some
suction-cup styles cost under $20. For
a more refined look or enhanced sturdiness, its possible to find one that
anchors into the wall through screws,
or a style built into shower surrounds.
If youre redoing your shower stall,
its the perfect time to add a stylish,
sturdy foot rest.

Enjoy abundant natural light from above, plus privacy, and have usable wall space
where you no longer need a window. Skylights provide not only daylighting but fresh air

Tips on how to prepare your windows
and doors for winter and save energy
(BPT) – How much do you spend on utilities? Are
you looking for ways to save? A typical American
household spends about $2,100 on energy bills each
year, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA). Most of that expense comes from a
homes energy use during the winter heating season.
But a quick home checkup can help you can reduce
these costs, prepare for winter and enjoy energy
savings.
Properly installed and maintained windows and
doors can help keep your home more comfortable
year-round. Save on heating costs by preparing your
windows and doors for winter with these tips:
* Clear sills and moving parts of dirt and debris.
Debris like sand, dirt or leaves can get caught in
windowsills and moving parts of windows or doors.
Clean these areas with a dry paintbrush to create a
tighter seal and enhance window and door performance.
* Check weather stripping. Re-attach or replace
missing or worn weather stripping around windows
and doors. Loose weather stripping can let cold air in
during the winter and out in the summer, reducing
energy efficiency.
* Reapply caulk or sealant around windows and
doors. Reseal areas around windows and doors that
may have been exposed to heavy weather or extreme
sunlight – creating breaks in caulk or sealant – to
help reduce potential drafts and leaks.
* Installing snap-in blinds or shades. Install snapin blinds or shades to help insulate your home
from cold outdoor temperatures. Pella Designer
Series windows and patio doors feature convenient
between-the-glass options to add energy efficiency
and privacy.
* Repair or replace damaged exterior surfaces.
Cracked or deteriorated wood associated with water
penetration may allow moisture or cold air to leak
into your home. Look closely for signs of moisture
leakage and replace damaged wood. Consult a professional to help correct any roof or drainage problems around your home.
* Install storm doors. Storm doors add an extra
layer of protection and help reduce air and moisture
leakage. Adding a Pella storm door to your exterior
doors can reduce energy loss through the entryway
by up to 45 percent.
* Replace old windows and doors with energy-efficient ones. If you have single-pane glass, clear glass,

Three tips for converting an attic into living space
BPT) – Moving up – vacating your current, smallish home for a larger, roomier abode – was the American way before
the Great Recession. Now that the economy is humming again, at least some of
the people who stayed put during those
lean years will be looking to move into
larger, nicer homes this summer. High
demand and low inventory, however,
may leave many with nowhere to go.
Some will rediscover a time-honored
space-gaining technique: attic conversion.
As home improvements go, converting an attic into usable living space has
a high return on investment – about 84
percent at the time of resale, according to Remodeling Magazines Cost vs.
Value Report. Thats if you use your
unfinished attic to create a 15-by-15-foot
bedroom and a modest 5-by-7-foot bathroom with shower. Create a larger, more
luxurious and more elaborate space and
the ROI could be even greater. If your
family is bursting at the seams, the
value of added space will be measured
in comfort, convenience and peace of
mind, rather than resale dollars.
As with any renovation project,
achieving an attic conversion requires
you to balance numerous factors, from
budget and objective to space and architectural limitations. Some of your mostdesired features – such as ample natural
light or a full bathroom – may seem out
of reach. They dont have to be, though,
if you rely on some time-tested techniques to maximize the space.
Lighting the natural way
Typically, attics arent built with a
lot of windows, and adding them may
be difficult if the ceiling is sloped. Yet
natural light is a highly prized feature in virtually any room, especially if
youre converting your attic into a bedroom, family room or other public area.
Traditional solutions include adding
dormers, which can be costly and timeconsuming. Whats more, windows and
dormers can eat up wall space, which is
often at a premium in attics.
Skylights or roof windows can be
a better option in an attic space. They
require less time and cost to install than
dormers and can easily live on slanted
ceilings. Choose Energy Star-qualified
no-leak, solar-powered fresh-air skylights add solar-powered blinds, and you
can achieve a light-filled attic room that
is both beautiful and energy efficient.
Roof windows, which are less expen-

Skylights with decor-enhancing designer blinds bring much more natural light and fresh air to an attic conversion, at less expense
and with more style, than traditional dormers or windows. Solar powered fresh air skylights and blinds, along with installation costs,
are eligible for a 30 percent federal tax credit.
sive than dormers, are another costeffective attic conversion option. Roof
windows offer maximum ventilation
plus the added advantage of meeting
building code requirements as points of
emergency escape and egress.
Heating and cooling
Attics are often the hottest or coldest
room in the house, depending on the
time of year and the quality of your
homes insulation. Creating a comfortable atmosphere in a converted attic
requires expert planning.
You may need to increase insulation.
Because insulation has such a significant impact on a homes overall comfort
and energy efficiency, it makes sense
to invest in the best you can afford.
Spray foam is often a good option for
converted attics because it can go easily between existing joists and create
gerken

a tight air barrier without losing the
inches of space required for thick fiberglass batt insulation.
Youll also need to consider how you
will heat and cool the space. A heating,
ventilation and air-conditioning system
expert can help you determine the best
approach.
Skylights and roof windows can also
play an important role in your heating
and cooling conversion plan due to the
chimney effect they utilize to exhaust
rising hot air from an attic space while
providing abundant daylight and fresh
air.
Plumbing made easier
Adding a bathroom anywhere in a
home is usually a good investment.
Bathroom additions return about 60
percent of your investment at the time
of resale, according to the Cost vs. Value
Report. Creating an attic bathroom can
be simple – if pipes are already present
– or challenging if no plumbing exists in
the space.
One alternative to traditional plumbing is up-flush, which allows you to
install sinks, toilets, showers and even
bath tubs without engaging in major
construction to accommodate traditional plumbing pipes. Up-flush plumbing cost less than traditional plumbing
methods and is easier to fit into tight
spaces – like the odd nooks that often
occur in attics.
With planning and the right materials, its possible to convert an attic into
a living space that makes your home
even more livable for your family while
youre staying in place. Plus, it will
enhance your homes value down the
road when youre ready to move up.
