Inmate wont need liver transplant
County spared high
health costs, while
woman stays in jail
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A Chanute woman
who claimed she needed to get
out of jail or force the county
to pay for a liver transplant will
serve the last half of her oneyear jail sentence with manage-
able health
care
costs,
Anderson
C o u n t y
Attorney Fred
Campbell said
last week.
An attorney for Connie
McCormick
McCormick
last
week
withdrew a request for early
release for medical reasons.
Campbell said it appears
McCormick has undergone
many tests and her medical
condition was not as severe as
McCormick claimed. Instead,
her health care expenses likely
will be manageable, Campbell
said.
McCormick is mid-way
through serving a one-year sentence for vehicular homicide
in the death of her 13-year-old
niece in May 2010. McCormick
was driving south on U.S. 169
near 700 Road when her Ford
Explorer entered a ditch and
rolled end-over-end, according to a highway patrol report.
Her teenage niece, Mary Jane
Robertson, was ejected from the
rear hatch of the vehicle and
pronounced dead at the scene.
She pleaded guilty as part of
a plea deal and was sentenced
in March to the maximum oneyear in county jail.
But in June, McCormick
claimed she needed a liver
transplant. That sparked
a debate over whether she
should be released, because if
she remained in jail the county would be responsible for
costs of the transplant. Those
costs could have been between
$100,000 to $200,000, not including pre- and post-operation
expenses, and some $10,000 in
first-year anti-rejection drugs.
An attorney for McCormick
said she had been diagnosed
with liver cancer, that her own
insurance would pay for her
treatments if she was out of
jail, and that it would be in the
best interests of the inmate and
of Anderson County if her sentence was remanded to house
arrest with electronic monitoring and she be released to seek
her own treatment.

City
lowers
tax rate
No frills budget passed
but utility rate increase
could be coming
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – It wasnt an easy
task.
Garnett city commissioners
told City Manager Joyce Martin
they wanted to lower taxes – or
at least hold the line – in 2013. It
was a difficult demand, in light
of a struggling economy, lower
property values and the loss of
some of Garnetts biggest industrial customers in the past two
years.
And, for the most part, city
staff and officials managed to
meet those challenges – at least
for now – by curtailing capital
equipment purchases.
City commissioners last week
approved a 2013 budget with a
miniscule tax reduction, and a
bottom line that will look quite
similar to 2012.
Theres a chance, however, that the city may consider
a utility rate increase before
years end. That will depend
on a few factors, such as if the
citys biggest water customer East Kansas Agri Energy plant
– reopens next summer. The
increasing cost of gas also could

ATVs wont join golf carts, Gators on streets
City approves alternative
vehicles, but theres no
interest in adding ATVs
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT- Golf carts and
Gators have been granted special privileges for use on some
city streets in Garnett. But
ATVs arent likely to join that
list anytime soon.
Garnett city commissioners last week approved the use
of work-site utility vehicles
small, rugged vehicles like
the popular Gator or Mule vehicles on city streets with some
restrictions. The vehicles join
golf carts as a type of alternative vehicle people can use on
city streets to help reduce their
motor fuel costs. Golf carts
were approved in March.
In discussing the issue, city
commissioners said they had
been asked about allowing ATVs
as well. Commissioners were
reluctant to seriously consider
that topic, after city attorney
Terry Solander told commis-
sioners there are several classifications of alternative vehicles,
including micro utility trucks
called MUTs. Solander asked
commissioners if they wanted
a broader discussion on those
vehicles, and ATVs came up in
the discussion.
Lets open this can of
worms very slowly, commissioner Dan Morgan cautioned
his fellow commissioners.
Commissioner Preston Peine
cited safety considerations.
Golf carts are designed to move
slowly, and Gators have safety
features like seat belts.
They seem to be high powered toys, Solander said.
Allowing alternative vehicles like golf carts and Gators
followed requests from city
residents who wanted to travel
short distances and save fuel
costs. In the case of golf carts,
some golfers argued it made
more sense to allow them to
drive carts to and from the golf
course, rather than having to
load the carts onto a trailer.

Heather Quinn, Garnett, and daughter Tiffany Mills look for bargains Ambulance Service is seeking
at a garage sale Saturday during citywide garage sales. Quinn said bids for a new ambulance as
part of a budget deal reached
she wasnt shopping for anything in particular, just good deals.
by county commissioners and
hospital officials earlier this
summer.
County commissioners targeted the ambulance service
earlier this summer in an effort
to cut costs in the 2013 budget. Commissioners said they
felt the ambulance budget was
too high and wanted to shop
around and see if they could
find a better deal with a differ-
ent service. The hospital, which
is part of the St. Lukes health
system, has provided ambulance services for the county
since St. Lukes took over hospital management in the 1990s.
Before that, both the hospital
and its ambulance service were
managed by the county.
In July, commissioners asked
the hospital and two other companies to give presentations
about costs and the type of services offered. Commissioners
called it a fact-finding mission rather than actually seeking bids for the service. After
the presentations, the county
decided to stick with the current system but re-evaluate the
ambulance service again next
year.

Also as part of that discussion, the commissioners agreed
to pay up to $70,000 for half the
cost of a new ambulance, with
the hospitals board of trustees
pitching in for the other half.
That allowed the ambulance
service to submit a lower budget for 2013 because it would
reduce repair and maintenance
costs of existing ambulances,
Vicki Mills, Anderson County
Hospitals finance director, said.
The ambulance department
submitted a budget of $530,000
for 2013. That was lower than
2012, which was budgeted at
about $585,000.
Mills said the ambulance
department currently is seeking bids for the new ambulance,
and expects to have all the bids
soon.
With the recent request for
work-site utility vehicles, USD

Quaintance said he wanted to

The use of golf carts and
work-site utility vehicles comes
with several restrictions. State
law prohibits driving such
vehicles on state and federal
highways, which means the
vehicles could not be driven on
K-31, U.S. 59 Highway or U.S.
169 through the city limits. City
commissioners added additional restrictions, such as requiring insurance and limiting use
only by licensed drivers. Golf

City looks at concussion awareness
program for youth tackle football
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – A program that
measures concussion danger
for football players could be
extended to the citys new tackle football program for fifth and
sixth graders.
The program, called ImPACT
(Immediate Post-Concussion
Assessment and Cognitive
Testing), already is in place at
Anderson County High School.
It tests players at the beginning
of the season to determine their
cognitive skills and provide a
baseline. If a player suffers a
significant hit or possible concussion, the test can be given
to see if there has been any
change in those cognitive skills.
The program tracks a players
condition and helps physicians,
coaches and parents determine
if the player can safely return
to play.
The program recently was
introduced to Anderson County
High School. Now, city recreation officials and Anderson
County Hospital are discussing possibly offering it to
youth tackle football players.
Anderson County Ambulance
director Robert Robbins has led
the charge in introducing the
program at the high school, and
is working with the city as well.
Local physician Dr. Lindsey
Westberg has received the
required training for the program and conducts the tests.
The discussion still is in
the early stages, but city com-

Robertson argued the health
claim was merely a ploy to get
out of jail one they said she
had used before as an excuse to
avoid penalties and jail for other
crimes, including a crash that
killed her boyfriend in 1999.
Campbell argued McCormick
should serve her jail sentence,
and demanded proof of her
medical problems.
My opinion was she was
just trying to do whatever she
could not to do her year in jail,
Campbell said.
McCormick underwent sev-
eral tests and it appears she
does not need a liver transplant.
Campbell had to cut through red
tape in order to have access to
McCormicks medical records,
and that access was granted late
last week. By that time, however, McCormicks lawyer, Forrest
Lowry of Ottawa, already had
withdrawn the motion for early
release.
McCormick still will need
some medical care while in jail.
However, it appears those costs
will be reasonable, Campbell
said. He did not have the figures
readily available, but estimated
the countys cost could be about
$80 per month.

BUDGET…
FROM PAGE 1A
be a factor – Martin said she has
been negotiating with suppliers
to lower transportation costs,
but so far those negotiations
have not worked. If the citys
water and gas costs go up significantly because of those and
other factors, utility customers
could see the first rate increase
in three years.
Martin promised the 2013
budget would have no frills,
but cautioned commissioners
that the citys budget in recent
years already had been pared
down to just salaries and services.
Theres just not that much
difference this year to next
year, Martin said.
Commissioners asked city
staff to go even further with
cuts. As a result, the city will
have virtually no capital outlay expenses this year. The city
had been replacing one police
patrol car each year; now, the
police department will replace
one patrol car every other year.
Because the police department
purchased a patrol car in 2012,
the department will not buy a
new car in 2013. Purchasing a
new patrol car this year would
have resulted in a mill levy
AD
2×2
increase.
The city likely will need to
purchase a mower in 2013, but
that is expected to be the only
big-ticket item bought next
year.
The citys total budget for
2013 will be about $11.44 million. Of that, $774,336- or about
7 percent- will come from property taxes. The 2013 mill levy,
from which property taxes are
assessed, will be 42.870. Thats
down from 42.914 in 2012.
Next years budget will be
lower than the authorized
2012 budget of $11.57 million.
However, city officials expect to
be able to hold spending at about
$11.067 by the end of 2012.
It helped that the city was
able to refinance its debt earlier
this year, Martin said. Garnett
paid off its bonded interest during the refinance and likely will
pay off more debt in 2013. The
city has about $9.4 million in its
reserve funds, and its total debt
is about $8.76 million. The city
generally has a Triple A credit
rating, Martin said.
I hope the citizens are
pleased. We have less taxes,
more money in the bank than
what we owe, and we still have
the same services and a Triple
A credit rating, Commissioner
Preston Peine said.

missioners expressed interest
and support for the program.
Commissioner Dan Morgan,
who has children involved in
the citys new tackle football
program, said he hopes the city
can make ImPACT testing mandatory for participants.
Watching these kids, they
deliver some real hits. Or at
least they hit the ground with
some force, he said about the
citys youth tackle football program.
City recreation director Brad
Yeubanks said he still is learning about the program, but is
excited about possibly offering
it at the youth level. Concussion
awareness and prevention is
important, he said.
Its very rare to come across
an injury like that at this level,
but you never know, he said.
The ImPACT program
includes software that allows
a trained professional to test a
players cognitive skills at the
start of the season. The test
takes about 20 minutes and
looks at such areas as attention
span, memory, reaction time
and non-verbal problem solving. If a player is injured, the
player is tested again to help
physicians determine if the
player can safely return to play.
Such tests are becoming more
common, especially in the local
region after a Spring Hill football player died after returning
to play following a concussion
in 2010.

Murder of ambassador
Stevens again reveals
contrasts of culture
Imagine, if you will, that a few days
after 9/11, Americans in Washington
and New York mobbed together and
attacked the embassies of Saudi Arabia,
Lebanon, United Arab Emirates and
Egypt the home countries of the 19
hijackers murdering the ambassador
and some of the embassy staff of some
of those nations, lowering and burning
their flags and setting fire to their properties.
Imagine

if marauding

taping the events
and posting them
online for their
families and countrymen to view.
Using the
mindset of the
by Dane Hicks,
PUBLISHER
Islamic extremists who last week
attacked two U.S. embassies in Libya
and Cairo and killed a U.S. ambassador, such a move in the hours post-9/11
would have been completely understandable.
Except of course that local police
and probably National Guard troops
would have been used to protect foreign
embassies and diplomatic presence in
the U.S., with the likelihood greater
that American aggressors would have
been injured or killed than any foreign
emissary.
Thats the way civilized nations
who embrace diplomacy handle things.
Savages, like the Islamists who murdered ambassador Christopher Stevens,
react differently, and give us once more
an illustration of the depth of depravity we deal with in the culture war
between the West and radical Islam.
And what fueled the attack?
Whether it was the pathetic hate-speech
of an American anti-Islamist posted on
Youtube or a tantrum, most likely Al
Quaeda inspired, to commemorate the
attacks of 9/11 is really immaterial.
As if the West needed another example
of Islamic extremist barbarism.
But the why may be deeper than
we consider. Assume for a moment
those attacks werent simple examples
of ignorant passion; imagine someone
had something to gain by provoking
those mobs to plunder and murder
Americans- someone hoping a response
from America might endear President
Obama to more of his eroding constituency and help win him another term?
Or perhaps a U.S. response could be
used to prop up sagging support for
Islamic militantism within their own
ranks? Maybe all this gives too much
credit to the enemy.
But we know this: No amount of
apologizing or sympathizing with radical Islam is going to make the movement less heinous, less lawless or less
murderous.
What we learned is what we already
knew: the language and the actions
of hate which are arrayed against us
respect no law, no concept of Freedom
of Speech; our enemy is inflamed by
religious vigor, holding dear to his ignorance which is more and more at odds
with an evolving world that embraces
education and tolerance.
The difference, and the obvious
destruction to ensue for the West if civilized societies stop combating this lawless hatred, couldnt be more clear.

The lost ethic of
Fraser Robinson
BY RICH LOWRY
NATIONAL REVIEW
After all the oratory at both political
conventions, one line stands out. It was
from Michelle Obama, talking about her
late father, Fraser Robinson, and his
insistence on paying his small portion
of her college tuition bills on time. You
see, for my dad, she said, thats what
it meant to be a man.
In one moving sentence,
she opened a vista on a
life of self-sacrifice. The
narrative arc of her rendition of his life bent
upward, and understandably so. He was
Lowry
a working-class father
who raised two
Princeton University graduates. But she
could just as easily have invoked a sense
of the countrys loss.
Because we dont really make Fraser
Robinsons anymore. He was a highschool-educated man who married and
stayed married, who worked and kept
working despite considerable adversity.
Whatever his relative lack of education
and skills, he was a hero of character,
shaped by mores that have been eroding
for decades.
According to Michelles convention
speech and to published accounts, her
father was a pump operator at the city
water plant in Chicago. He was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis as a young
man, and still got up to work every day.
When he came home, hed reach down
to lift one leg after another to make it up
the stairs and greet his kids.
Its difficult to imagine a more affecting depiction of everyday dutifulness
than that. With his wife of 31 years,
Marian, Robinson built a family deeply
invested in his childrens future.
Too few men in his position now
do the same. The 2010 study When
Marriage Disappears, a publication of
the National Marriage Project at the
University of Virginia and the Institute
for American Values, tells the story. In
the 1970s, 73 percent of adults with a
high-school degree or some college were
in intact first marriages. In the 2000s, 45
percent were.
As recently as 1982, just 13 percent of
births to people with this level of education were out-of-wedlock. In the late
2000s, 44 percent were. Among blacks
with a high-school degree or some college, the figure was 75 percent.
Males with a high-school education
have been dropping out of the labor
force for decades. One flip side is a
drastic increase in the rolls of Social
Security Disability Insurance, despite
better medical care and less-strenuous
jobs. Forty years ago, Fraser Robinson
left for work in pain every day — walking
on two canes — and now a small army
of his fellow Americans schemes to get
paid for doing nothing.
The tectonic plates of the culture
and economy shifted since the 1960s to
squeeze the likes of Fraser Robinson, at
the same time the government has been
subsidizing a version of the family -single-mother households — that makes
him superfluous. The new norm that
dispenses with duty-bound fathers is
not good for families, and it is not good
for men.
Michelle Obama powerfully described
her fathers pride. For him, to be a man
was to be responsible, day after day.
His quotidian courage was her windfall;
that it is becoming increasingly rare is
our tragedy.
Rich Lowry is editor of the National
Review.
Man, I just crawled out of the shower and I smelled like I just been in
a sewer line. This water is tasting
and smelling like its coming out of
the sewer. Did the water tower fill
up with fungus or something in this
hot weather or are we still sucking
it out of Crystal Lake? Theres really something wrong here. Thank
you.
Im surprised to hear someone in
the Phone Forum making a connection between long overdue street
repairs in Garnett and then saying
we shouldnt have a new hospital
because it would raise the taxes
and wed have more people on the
delinquent tax list in the paper. I
wonder sometimes if people really
understand how many millions of
dollars the hospital pays out in salaries? I dont recall the number off
the top of my head but I know they
had it in the paper and I know the
hospital is the largest employer in
the county bar none. I wonder how
many of the dollars of that payroll
end up paying taxes on local properties people who pay their taxes
and are not on the delinquent tax
list in the Review? Wise up people
and start paying attention to the
local economy. If something happens and we lose our hospital and
those jobs and the health care it
provides, were sunk. Thank you.
To the young fellow dressed in his
tutu at the game in Greeley- how
funny. What a great personality you
have. Keep up the laughter honey,
we need more of that.

How will small businesses use the tax break?
Remember those days at high school,
when you saw girls, hands guarding
their mouths, whispering to other girls
about whose boyfriend was seen holding
hands with another girl? Yes you do,
even if you dont want to admit it now.
Well, at least at the Statehouse, thats
starting to happen…but the secret that
you pass with whispers is about who
is going to pay Kansas income tax next
year and who isnt.
Yes, if you have a Limited Liability
Company, or a Subchapter S corporation or even a sole proprietorship, last
sessions massive tax bill rewrite means
that you wont pay any Kansas income
tax on non-wage income.
That means, essentially, that small
business owners wont pay taxes on
their income. And, if its one of those
typical small businesses where essentially you eat what you killyou live
off the profits of the businessyou
wont pay Kansas income taxes on the
money you live on.
The concept, of course, is that many
small businesses will use that tax break
to hire more workers to produce more
goods and services and create more jobs
and those workers, of course, will pay
Kansas income taxjust not the people
who hired them. New jobs, thats gotta
be good.
In the small world of those who hang
around the Statehouse who arent on
by Martin Hawver
KANSAS STATEHOUSE COLUMNIST
the state payroll, many wont be paying state income taxes next year. And,
were betting that this fall, as neighbors
gather for the end-of-summer block parties before winter, there are going to be
quiet little discussions going on about
whether the guy down the street who
has an LLC or who has his/her own
little businessor is a doctor of a lawyer or accountantis going to be paying
Kansas income tax next year.
Nothing obnoxious, we hope, but look
up and down your block and youll see
the homes of neighbors who work for
themselves who wont pay income taxes,
and the homes of neighbors who work
for someone else…who will pay taxes.
Now, the top rate is down to just
4.9 percent next year, but if your selfemployed neighbor drives, say, a Buick
or better, chances are good that the
neighbor will save several thousand dol-
lars a year on Kansas income taxes that
you will pay while driving your Chevy.
The concept: That money that the
self-employed small business owners
wont pay in taxes, theyll expand their
businesses or maybe just eat out more
often, or buy bigger cars or start sending their shirts out to be laundered.
Except for those who selfishly choose
to save that tax money under their mattresses, that money theyre not paying
in Kansas income taxes will be spent
creating sales tax revenuesand jobs
for waiters and car dealers and laundry
workers.
Of course, Gov. Sam Brownbacks
concept is that in a few years there will
be no state income taxes and that new
businesses will spring up and everyone
can spend the money they save on taxes
on Kansas-made things that spur the
economy and make Kansans prosperous. That might work.
But in the meantime, maybe well
just suggest that at next springs neighborhood party…the self-employed folks
will bring the burgers…and maybe the
beer.

Headed home!
I have a passion for collecting western
calendars. Not all the pictures are real
meaningful to me but once in awhile I find
one that is. On one of the 2012 calendars in
the house there is a picture of a couple of
riders crossing a shallow stream and heading to a cabin in the woods.
The cabin is set back among the trees and
by all appearances it appears to be late fall.
There is smoke rising from the chimney and
the caption simply reads Heart and Home.
Two simple words yet they speak volumes. In my case the two cannot be separated for where my home is you will find my
heart. So what makes a home special? First
and foremost it is having someone special to
share my home with. In fact it is our home.
When the boys left home I relented on my
long time stand against pets in the house
and a dog and cat moved in.
Also a home needs to be a place of rest.
Everyone who owns and maintains a home
knows of the responsibilities that go along
with that privilege. Yet for me Ill take
those responsibilities for the times of quiet
secluded rest I get.
A home is also a place to build memories. I remember as a boy my grandfathers
house. For me it was as special as the home
I grew up in. It was a place of love and
encouragement. As time passes so do all
our special treasures. Grandfathers house
still stands but it has been changed and so
many of the people who brought that love
and encouragement have passed on.
Weekly
Devotional
by David Bilderback
And so will go my home someday. Even
though our homes are classified as real
property our occupation of them is only
temporary. That is what makes Jesus comment in John 14:2-3 so relevant. Jesus is
talking to his disciples and he says. In my
Fathers house are many rooms; if it were
not so I would have told you. I am going
there to prepare a place for you. And if I
go and prepare a place for you, I will come
back and take you to be with me that you
also may be where I am.
This is the most important promise Jesus
makes in the bible. As believers some day
we will be like the riders in the picture. We
will see our eternal home. We will be going
home not just returning from some journey.
Jesus removes all doubt about our eternal
existence and says we will be with him for
eternity. When Jesus takes us home it will
not be to an empty home but to a home
filled with love and encouragement from
our loved ones who passed on before us.

Annual event promotes farm family in 2012 VALLEY R AGRI
This years theme for
National Farm Safety & Health
Week (NFSHW) has a focus on
the foundation of agriculture
throughout the world the
farm family. Although farming in many regions is moving
toward large operations and
corporate endeavors, a great
percentage of the agrarian
industry is still based in the
family unit. The International
Society for Agricultural Safety
& Health (ISASH) continues to
have the protection and wellbeing of farm family members
as one of its guiding principles.
Each year, since 1944, the
third week in September has
been recognized as National
Farm Safety & Health Week.
For 2012, National Farm Safety
& Health Week is September 16
22; the theme is Agricultural
Safety & HealthA Family
Affair. This recognition began
as an annual promotion by
the National Safety Council
(NSC) and has been proclaimed
as such by each sitting U.S.
President since Franklin D.
Roosevelt who signed the first
document. This proclamation
appears on the White House
web site the first week in
September. A partner of the
NSC, the National Education
Center for Agricultural Safety
(NECAS), continues this tradition. NECAS has assumed the
development and dissemination of informational and educational materials.
For the past few years, we
have invited leaders and students in the field of agricultural health and safety to contribute articles, papers and
other informative materials.
Documents will be posted on
the NECAS web site, www.

Garnett youth tackle
football team debuts
at home tonight
BY DAN MORGAN
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Over the last three
years several different groups
of parents in the Garnett area
have discussed the need to get
local kids started at an earlier
age playing football, but for
whatever reasons, it never happened – until now.
So the Garnett Bulldogs 5th
and 6th grade tackle football
team makes its home opening
debut tonight, Sept. 18 at 7:15
at Lake Garnett Park football
field.
The City of Garnett, Parks
and Rec Department and its
director, Brad Yeubanks along
with several interested families
have been instrumental in getting a new youth tackle football
program started as part of the
citys recreation department.
Garnett resident Ryan
Disbrow is the head coach of the
newly formed Garnett Bulldogs.
Assistant coaches are Matt
Foltz, Kevin Holloran, Kenny
Jarett, Dave Lybarger, Jeremy
McAdam and Brandon Palmer.
We are extremely fortunate
to have a great group of kids that
are eager and excited to learn
how to play the game, Disbrow
said. Obviously, behind a great
group of kids is a very supportive group of parents that we are
very grateful for.
Garnett has adopted the
Georgia Bulldogs G logo for
their team, reminiscent of the
Garnett High School Bulldogs
logo from the 1970s. They will
play in the Allen County league
where there is good competition
from Iola, Humboldt, Mound
City, Uniontown and Yates
Center.
The kids are working very
hard and are picking up things
quickly, Disbrow said. We
want a team that is tough and
plays a fast and physical style
of football. We want the kids
to learn how to play the game,
understand the importance of
being a team, develop a winning
culture and have a lot of fun in
the process.
There are 30 kids on the
team with 19 6th graders and
11 5th graders. The team roster includes Austin Adams,
Austin Allen, Logan Allen,
C.J. Andregg, Chance Cobbs,
Matthew Cubit, Lane Freeman,
Jacob Holloran, Jayden Jarett,
Damone Kueser, Nick Lybarger,
Harley Maley, Raven Maley,
Will Mechnig, Jake Morgan,
Aaron Morrill, Kyler Nilges,
Kass OBrien, Lane Palmer,
Walker Pedrow, Russ Peterson,
Ridge Pracht, Justin Rockers,
Ryan Schmitz, Tank Spencer,
Tucker Tush, Zachary Wilper,
Gavin Wolken, Ryland Wright
and Guy Young.

IOLA – The young Central
Heights volleyball team got
off to a slow start at the Iola
Invitational Saturday losing to Anderson County and
Burlington before coming back
against Caney Valley.
The first match we came out
cold. It always takes us a while
to get started and that needs
to change. Anderson County
is a great team, but we should
have been more competitive

said after losing to Anderson
County in two tough sets 7-25,
12-25. Brianna Erhart finished
with seven assists and five digs.
Shannon Goldring and Kenzie
Hayward added two kills a

Central Heights went on to

game improve, especially in the

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND-The crisp, cool,
feel to the Friday night air
was nothing compared to the
chilly reception Osawatomie
received at Central Heights
as the Vikings handed the
Pioneer League rival Trojans
a 38-0 defeat. Friday night.
The Vikings got off to a
quick start with senior RB
Drew Beckwith taking their
second offensive play for a 75
yard ride ending in a touchdown. Beckwith later drove
in a 16 yard run for a score,
before tacking on a two point
conversion. Central Heights
finished their first half scoring with another Beckwith
romp, this time for 10 yards
and 6 more points. Due to
2 missed conversions, the
Vikings led at the half 20-0.
During the second half,
Central Heights picked up
right where they left off.
Getting things started, junior
RB Tristan Davis crossed the
goal line after a 4 yard jaunt.
Senior Keith Shrimpton got
free for a 32 yard touchdown
run. Freshman RB Jacob
Pryor completed the Vikings
scoring with a 25 yard dash
late in the fourth quarter.

well all year. Our defense
has been the cornerstone of
our football team. Vikings
RB Drew Beckwith echoed
Schultes comments, calling
the defense amazing. He
added, The offensive line was
great all night. Great team
effort from everyone. The
shutout was led by senior DB
Kyle Miller with seven tackles. Dakota Snow and Blake
Anderson added six tackles
a piece. Jordan Horstick
chipped in five. Horstick,
Snow, and Anderson each
recorded a sack and senior
DL Adam Pryor nabbed an
interception.
The Trojans were unable
to get anything going offensively from the start. Central
Heights was able to close the
gaps and seal the edge virtually all night. The passing game
was ineffective as well. They
got in a few quick slants, but
were never able to get loose
for a big gain.
The
Vikings
record
improves to 2-1 overall, and 10 in the Pioneer League. Next
week they travel to Garnett
to face Anderson County.
Osawatomie falls to 0-3 overall, 0-2 league. They will

looking forward to the game
with Garnett next week.
Describing his senior RB,
Schulte says, He is a gamer
who wants to be on the field.
I expect Drew will give everything hes got throughout the
course of the season.
The Viking offense finished with an impressive 287
yards on the ground, easily
topping last weeks total of
196. Beckwith had 17 carries
for 158 yards on the night.
Davis ran the ball seven times
for 33 yards and Shrimpton
added 32 yards on five carries.

held on the south and west end
of the museum sidewalk issues
and improvements we will be
working on in the near future
at the Harris House. Dorothy
Lickteig announced her decision to not run for reelection and will retire from the
Presidency of the Historical
Society on December 31, 2012.
Shirley Roeckers thanked Mike
and Jean Johns for hosting the
meeting.
Several residents of the Lone
Elm area shared items and stories related to the history of
Lone Elm.
Neil Holloway
shared pictures and clippings
from Lone Elm, illustrating
numerous businesses and
homes. Tom Herynk shared
about reviewing his fathers
business records, many from
the 1930s. One invoice revealed
that he had trucked steers to
Kansas City in 1936, selling for
3 cents per pound. They also
shared stories about the actual
lone elm tree, southeast of
the town site that is the towns
namesake. Mike Johns also
showed a gold wrench that had
been manufactured in Kansas
as a corporate presentation
gift.
Jean Johns presented a
fascinating program about
wool, from shearing the sheep,
through carding and combing
the fibers, spinning the yarn,
wrapping skeins, dying the
yarn, and weaving garments.
She explained several methods of spinning and related
the history of the different
types of spinning wheels. Jean
answered the question about
the difference between woolen
and worsted garments. Woolen
fabric is made from wool that
has been carded and the fibers
are going in different directions, which make the yarn
and fabric scratchy. Worsted
fabric is made from wool that
is carded, and then combed,
making all of the fibers go
in the same direction, which
results in a soft fabric that is
not scratchy.
The Johns family raises
sheep and she explained the
history and current operation of the sheep industry in
Kansas. Today a commercial ewe will produce about
10 pounds of wool. They sell
their sheared wool through
a market in Hutchinson, and
fine wool currently sells for
about $1 per pound.
Dorothy Lickteig will
host the next potluck dinner
meeting at the museum on
September 13, 2012, at 6:30 p.m.
We will begin historical stories, as presented by several
guests.

The grand and reserve steers,
hogs, lambs and goats will be
sold during the KJLS Auction
of Champions, September 24 at
7:00pm. The public is welcome
and encouraged to support the
event by bidding on livestock
in the live auction. In many
cases, exhibitors of the winning
animals use the money earned
from the auction to help fund
their college educations and
buy next years livestock projects.
Prior to the premium sale,
KJLS will present a number of
scholarships ranging from $750
to $2,500 to exhibitors who have
excelled academically, in community service and in 4-H/FFA.
A total of $305,100 in scholarships have been presented to
243 KJLS exhibitors since the
programs inception in 1993.
Last year, a total of $21,500 was
awarded to 11 exhibitors. The
scholarship program is funded
primarily through private contributions and income generated by the Beefeaters Barbecue
held in the Sam Fulco Pavilion
prior to the auction.
The responsibility of preparing for and showing at this
event provides a great learning
experience for Kansas youth,
said KJLS President Ed Frey
of Wichita. We invite individuals and businesses to help
reward these young people for
their hard work by attending
the Beefeaters Barbecue, participating in the sale or contributing to the scholarship fund.
Separate from the selection
of species champions, a showmanship contest will be held.
The top showman in both the
junior and senior divisions of
each species will receive a silver belt buckle. Prizes also will
be awarded for second through

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, September 18, 2012
Garnett businessman liked pranks
Are you ready to read another tall tale about a few Garnett
businessmen?
Many years ago the Holcomb
Drug Store stood on the Garnett
town square. A.T. Holcomb
owned the drug store and he
walked past my Grandpas
General Merchandise store
each morning from his home
on East 4th Street when going
to open his store.
A.T. would often stop and
visit with a group of old timers
who gathered each morning in
Grandpas store to tell or listen
to the latest happenings around
the area. Many lies, folk tales
and stories were told at these
gatherings.
It seems that on one particular morning, A.T. saw several
men gathered at the entrance
of my Grandpas store and he
knew they would ask him to
join them as he passed on his
way to open his store. He was
running late and would not
have time to stop and visit with
them, so he devised a plan.
Walking down the street
almost at a trot, he hurried
by Henry Roeckers
Contact (785) 448-6244
for local archeology information.
right past the men and showed
no sign of slowing down to talk
with them. One man called
to him, Hey, A.T., how about
stopping and telling us a lie?
A.T. increased his pace and
called back, I havent got the
time. Ive got to call Kansas
City to get some divers to come
up and try to find those six men
who just drove off the North
Fork Bridge.
As he entered his drug store,
he turned to look back at the
men. They were all leaving in a
hurry. They were on their way
to the North Fork Bridge.
For over an hour, A.T.
watched for their return and he
told others in the store of the
trick he has played on them.
After finding that nothing
had happened at the bridge, the
men returned and went into the
drug store to find out what A.T.
had meant by telling them such
a story. One said, We didnt
see a thing. Who told you there
was an accident anyway?
A.T. took a long draw on
his cigar and blew the smoke
upward out of the corner of his
mouth. He said, You asked me
to stop and tell you a lie this
morning when I passed you by.
I couldnt stop, so I told you one
as I walked past.
A.T. bought them all a Coke
from his fountain and they
laughed and hung around for
some time talking and recalling
other stories of other times. Its
been told, all that day and for
several more, A.T. wore a warm
glow of satisfaction from the
joke hed played.
There are numerous legends
centered on the lovable and colorful A.T. Holcomb who owned
and operated a drug store in
Garnett.
2002: Drought hurts corn crop
Sept. 24, 2002
Besides assurances that none of
the 21 local employees of Williams
Pipeline will end up losing their
jobs after the announced sale of
the companys Central Pipeline
to a New York-based investment
group last week, Anderson County
residents and local governments
can breath a sigh of relief that
some $480,000 in annual tax revenues will be safe as well. Hard
assets of the company that lay in
Anderson County the pipelines
and machinery that pump the gas
to and from storage fields here
along the pipeline to customers
in the Midwest were worth a
$555 million purchase package.
That includes $480,516 in taxes
paid locally in 2001. Those figures make the Williams Pipeline
soon to be Southern Star Central
Corporation the largest single
taxpayer in Anderson County.
Anderson County officials
have requested an emergency
declaration from state officials
to make aid available for local
farmers and ranchers hammered
by drought-stricken pasture and
cropland. The county might have
lost as much as 40 percent of its
corn and 24 percent of its milo
crop.
Sept. 24, 1992
The Garnett City Commission
moved Tuesday night to issue
$500,000 in industrial revenue
bonds for Taylor-Forge Engineered
Systems, Inc., of Paola, to assist
in the companys acquisition of
HUMCO Steel of Garnett. While
helping to preserve and create
jobs at the beleaguered local
by Vickie Moss
Staff Writer
industry, the citys acquisition
will also effectively strike $10,000
per year from city, county and
state in tax revenues for the 10year term of the bonds.
In view of continued decline
in dues paying members and a
failure to pay employee withholding taxes since 1987, the board
of directors for the Garnett Area
Chamber of Commerce has decided to close its downtown office
effective Sept. 30, 1992. The board
is studying various options in
hopes of coming up with a way
to reopen the office in the near
future. The chamber has been
operating at a loss for the last five
or six years.
Sept. 20, 1982
With the 125th anniversary
of the founding of Greeley this
month, a book detailing the towns
history has been released.
Untied Telephone Company
services now available at The
Phone Shop at 311 S. Oak are
being moved Sept. 24 to the United
Telephone Service Center at the
Garnett Industrial Park.
Sept. 18, 1912
The fire bell rang early this
morning about 1:15 oclock and
called a number of people, including members of the fire company,
to the premises of Jesse Wright,
where his glove and mitten factory was located. Andy Farris was
the first to discover the fire and
he aroused Jesse. The two carried
water in buckets, but the distance
was too great they accomplished
little. When they saw that the fire
was beyond their control, Mr.
Farris turned in the alarm. The
fire boys soon arrived, but the
building was of pine and it contained a good deal of cotton glove
stock, so in a very short time the
building was a mass of fire and
the contents of the building were
destroyed, and the building itself
was a wreck.
What can the horseless farmer
of Kansas do, now, to provide for
next years crops? How can they
help one another? These questions have been discussed by
department heads at the Kansas
Agricultural College ever since
the epidemic of cerebro-spinal
meningitis began. No such situation ever has confronted the
college or the farmers. In many
communities there are one or two
traction engines. Behind one of
these engines three or four drills
can be attached and if the land
still needs preparation, a disc may
be attached ahead of the drills.
Where there are no engines and
only a few horses, these horses
should be put to work at once.
Many farmers are now keeping
their remaining horses in the
stables, but this is no safeguard
against disease.

Tips for spotting that
sweepstakes scam
AD
My office receives calls and
complaints from consumers
who have been told they have
won a prize such as cash, or a
cruise, television or electronic
device. These folks have been
surprised to learn this because
they do not recall entering
the sweepstakes. Sadly, they
are likely being scammed. If
you receive a letter, email or
phone call saying youve won,
be cautious. Scammers often
use the lure of prizes to steal
your money and your personal
financial information.
I often am asked how to
know if a prize youre offered
is a scam. Scammers will follow
the exciting news that youve
won with a request that you
first send them money to cover
taxes, fees, shipping or other
costs even though its illegal in most places, including
Kansas, to require purchases
or the payment of fees and
taxes upfront before you can
receive a prize. Also, remember, the Kansas Lottery is the
only legally operating lottery
in Kansas. Anyone claiming
you have won a foreign lottery
is in violation of Kansas law.
In some cases, the scammers
may send you a legitimate looking check that is supposed to
cover those so-called taxes
and fees. But once you deposit
the check in your account and
then wire the money back to
them, the check turns out to
be fake and any amount you
advance the scammer will be
lost. Additionally, your bank
may charge you overdraft fees.
Our Consumer Protection
Division staff works hard to
crack down on these phony
checks and fraudulent wire
transfers. People are getting
wiser about avoiding them, so
fraud artists are coming up
with other ways to get you to
send them money. For example, they may ask you to order
expensive items online, such as
computers and big screen televisions, and have them delivered directly to the scammer.
Many of these sweepstakes and
Consumer
Corner
by Derek Schmidt
Kansas Attorney General
lottery scams originate in other
countries.
Suggestions to identify a
scam:
Never give personal information, such as your social
security number or bank
account number, to someone
you dont know who calls you
or sends you an email or letter.
Never agree to wire or send
money in order to claim a prize.
Its illegal to require an upfront
fee for a prize, so anyone who
asks you to pay one is a scam
artist.
Be very skeptical. If you
dont remember entering the
contest, its probably a scam.
Never deposit legitimate
looking checks that come with
a letter telling you that you
have won.
Report possible scams to
the Attorney Generals Office
by calling our Consumer
Hotline at 1-800-432-2310 or go
to our web site at www.ag.ks.
gov.
To reduce the number of
sweepstakes offers and solicitations you receive:
Sign up for the Do Not Call
Registry, by calling 1-888-3821222 or by going to www.donotcall.gov.
Dont enter any sweepstakes or buy anything through
a sweepstakes.
Have your name taken off of
mail marketing lists. Write to:
Direct Marketing Association
Mail Preference Service, PO
Box 64, Carmel, NY 10512.
Use a reliable spam filter
to cut down on phony emails
about sweepstakes and lotteries.

Look for them at that time.
The Fire Department held
their regular meeting Sept. 5.

would be
used to purchase swift water
rescue equipment and to finish cabinet purchase for the
kitchen area. A new member
joining and welcomed is Shane
Jones. Remainder of evening
was spent in training. Thirteen
members attended. It is hoped
that EMR classes will begin in
January.
Sept. 6 lightning struck an oil
tank on Iowa Road. Colony only
received a trace of rain, but
the forecast that followed the
lightning strike was for strong
winds, hail and ground lightning. On the 7th over an inch of
rain was welcomed, but there
were high winds; several limbs
and some trees were downed.
Eleven members attended
the Lions Club meeting Sept.
5. Following the good meal
served by the United Methodist
Women, Colony Day was discussed. President A.J. Silvey
thanked all members for their
help in making the Lions breakfast and taco stand a success.
Money from the raffle tickets
will go toward good causes for
the community. The next big
event is the Kincaid Fair. Next
meeting is Sept. 19. Visitors are
always welcome.
Shirley Ulrich fell the morning of Colony Day injuring a
leg. She was dismissed from
Allen County Hospital Sept. 7.
We wish her well in recovery.

undergone a very serious major
surgery. Her birthday was Sept.
11. She is 37. She needs uplifting
