BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Whatever steps
city and county leaders need to
take towards economic development, theres one key area that
Garnett City Commissioner
Preston Peine wants to see
Anderson County Development
Agency (ACDA). Some specific
projects, some of us could help
you but not unless we know
where youre at.
Arnold met with city commissioners Tuesday, Aug. 28,
to report on economic develop-
ment activities. Commissioners
had asked for the report, and
asked Arnold to present regular, detailed reports in the
future. Arnold said he would
try to attend city commission
meetings at least once every
two months.
The request comes in the
wake of news that the East
Kansas Agri-Energy ethanol
plant the citys largest industrial employer and top utilities
customer will shut down Oct.
1 and remain closed until ethanol market conditions improve.
Its a big blow to the community, made worse by the loss of
two other industrial companies
in the past year and a half.
The Astro truck cover manufacturing facility burned in a
fire in early 2011 and moved
to Ottawa, and Kids Creations
moved to another state after a
change in ownership.
Those changes in the citys
industrial sector happened
through no fault of economic
development leaders, Arnold
said. Mother Nature caused
two of them drought in the
case of the ethanol plant, and
fire in the case of Astro.
What hurts Garnett and
Anderson County the most, he
said, is lack of available space
for industry. The city has only
one available industrial build-
ing, and it can be very difficult
to convince a company to settle
in a city with a good-sized building and infrastructure already
in place.
Instead, Arnold said, city and
county leaders need to think
outside the box. Perhaps they
could use technology to lure
companies. He said economic
development leaders are working on several ideas, such as

CA: Previous cases
allow consecutive
sentences for crime
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT An Anderson
County judge sentenced convicted child molestor Michael
Stevens to an effective 50 year
prison sentence Friday, after
a motion by County Attorney
Fred Campbell that potential
sentences be served on Stevens
consecutively instead of concurrently.
Stevens
was convicted in July of
two counts
of aggravated criminal
sodomy and
one count of

with a 7 year-old boy who was
apparently his son. Judge Eric

A crew with Killough Construction replaces asphalt on Fourth Avenue near U.S. 59 Thursday. Street crews began repair work
on Home Run Drive, Fourth Avenue and First Avenue last week as part of a city street improvement project. Those streets
were identified as some of the streets most in need of repair.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Ken Amaya never
thought hed take on City Hall.
He just wanted to give a dog a
good home.
But Amayas quest to educate
people about pit bull-type dogs
eventually led to an overhaul of
the citys aggressive dog laws.
Garnett City Commissioners
last week approved sweeping
changes to the citys rules on
keeping aggressive dogs, removing breed-specific restrictions
and giving authorities more
power to penalize owners if
dogs attack.
The issue arose earlier this
summer, when Amaya and his
wife decided they wanted to
adopt a dog. Their daughter,
Ashlyn Lickteig, works for a
dog care center and was serving as a foster family for an
American Staffordshire terrier

Greeley school earns honor
School named to top
10 percent for state
assessments score
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GREELEY A new system
created when Kansas was
granted a waiver on No Child
Left Behind will put Greeley
Elementary School at the top of
the class.
USD 365 school officials
learned last week that Greeley
was identified as a Title I Reward
School. That means the school
is among the top 10 percent of
Title I schools in the state. Title
I is a federal program focused
on improving reading skills of
young students, especially atrisk students.
Details are not quite clear
yet about what it means to be a
Reward School or another classification under the new system, USD 365 Superintendent
Don Blome said. There are no
tangible rewards for the honor.

Unemployment better than last year
Private sector job
growth encouraging,
labor officials say
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Unemployment
across the region continued to
increase this summer, although
state labor officials say they see
positive long-term trends.
A report from the Kansas
Department of Labor, released
Aug. 17 and reporting on unemployment figures from July,
shows private sector employment and nonfarm jobs both
showed increases since one
year ago.
Locally, unemployment continues to increase compared to
the previous month but is sig-
nificantly lower than last year.
Private sector job growth
is the encouraging note in this
report. Contraction of the labor
force and its impact on the
unemployment rate is worthy of
our attention, stated Secretary
of Labor Karin Brownlee.
Seven of the 11 major industries reported job gains since

REMEMBRANCES
SENTENCE…
FROM PAGE 1A
under Jessicas Law, consecutively after Campbell showed
additional case law in support
of his motion for consecutive
sentencing.
I had a lot of case law that
said the judge can do this in a
case like this, Campbell said.
Its been done in similar cases
because theyre considered very
heinous crimes and they have a
high rate of recidivism.
Godderz sentenced the single
count of indecent liberties to
run concurrently, effectively
meaning the 31 year-old Stevens
will be 81 before hes considered
for parole under the present
sentence.
Stevens was found guilty by a
local jury in a July 16 single day
trial after the jury at a previous
trial failed to arrive at a verdict. That trial was hampered
by a botched video interview
of Stevens at the Anderson
RECORDS…
County Jail during the initial
investigation which resulted in
no audio being recorded on the
videotape. Jurors at that first
trial were unable to arrive at a
verdict, some said due to that
lack of audio evidence. State
investigators also provided
clearer photos at the second
trial of pictures drawn by the
child depicting his allegations
against Stevens.
The childs mother had testified she was raped by Stevens,
and that the child was a product
of that rape. In the spring of
2011, she decided her 7-year-old
son needed to know his father
and brought Stevens into the
home. Stevens stayed at the
home for a couple of weeks
between late March and early
April, 2011. Sometime after he
left, the boy came forward and
said Stevens sexually abused
him. The boy testified Stevens
told him he would kill him if he
told anyone.
UNEMPLOYED…

July 2011. Healthcare and social
assistance gained 5,300 jobs,
a 3.2 percent increase, while
heavy and civil engineering
construction increased by 2,500
jobs, a 24.3 percent growth
In Anderson County, unemployment increased to 7.3 percent in July. Thats up from 6.5
percent in June but down one
percentage point compared to
last year, when unemployment
was 8.3 percent. The report
translates to 321 people without jobs in Anderson County in
July, out of an available workforce of 4,384.
In other area counties:
Allen: 7.3 in July, 6.9 in
June, 7.8 in July 2011.

Discussion of city-sponsored
Internet service lacks
one critical aspect
Last weeks Garnett City
Commission meeting offered a couple
of brief forays into the idea surrounding advanced high-speed Internet service in the local area; what it might
mean as a business recruitment tool
and whether or not it would be best
explored as a city-owned utility or as a
private enterprise.
What the discussion lacked most,
however, was a reason to discuss the
topic at all. To justify it, we need a
company or companies promising to
bring their operations and their jobs to
our community
if only we had
EDITORIAL
super-Internet
services available
by either means.
The problem is
those companies
arent exactly
knocking on our
door. Until they
are or until we
have a recruitment process
by Dane Hicks,
underway to
PUBLISHER
make systematic
sales pitches to
prospects, the discussion is pretty moot.
Broadband Internet has been available in Garnett from a number of
sources for years. It was a huge benefit
compared to the old days of dial-up,
and one thats no doubt already taken
for granted by residential and business customers. One thing for certain
however, without broad band service,
just about every facet of the modern
Internet from Facebook to browsing
web pages to digital photography is
practically useless. Larger pipelines
of bandwidth from T1 lines and other
sources are available commercially but
at higher cost and typically for more
specialized and high-density Internet
uses like video conferencing and large
data transfer.
No doubt broadband service has
developed into a basic need for just
about every community, and to that
extent were wired. To invest a lot of
energy to push that dicussion further,
at least at this point, begs a resounding
why?
Regardless it seems hard to justify
developing another government utility where the market is already aptly
served by private companies. A technology-based utility would require
more staff and more training for an
ever-changing industry and obviously
higher budget costs, during a period
when austerity will be the theme for
local governments more so than development spending.
In view of recent job losses and new
losses with the closing of the EKAE
ethanol plant after October 1, it seems
like wed be better off fishing right now
instead of heating the frying pan.
Shut the front door! You mean to tell me that
the students at GES received two shirts to
wear to school the first two days of classes? My children attend GES and they only
received one. Now I am mad. Okay, actually,
that couldnt be further from the truth. The
idea to have our children and staff wear
t-shirts in different colors to match their
pod was brilliant. I believe all students at
GES received only one shirt that was to be
worn the first day of class and then again on
the second day of class. Hopefully the shirts
were washed over the weekend. Maybe before
assuming things and asking why Mont Ida,
Westphalia and Greeley were not included in
the t-shirts, people should walk through this
beautiful facility and see for themselves why
this was hugely beneficial to the students
and staff at GES. Also, GES has a different
principal than Mont Ida, Westphalia and
Greeley. If this is that big of a deal, ask the
principal of those schools to get local sponsors to sponsor new shirts for their school.
Honestly, I cant help but shake my head at
that last statement. To me it would be like
the Olympian that earned the gold medal in
swimming has to see all the other Olympians
wearing a gold medal too all because they
share one thing in common- they were all a
part of the Olympics. As a community, lets be
grateful for our new facility, GES. Mont Ida,
Westphalia, Greeley and GES are all a part
of USD 365. Lets not live in a community
where we raise our children to covet their
neighbors.
Spending? What spending?
BY RICH LOWRY
NATIONAL REVIEW
Franklin Delano Roosevelt never denied
that he created Social Security. Lyndon Baines
Johnson didnt forswear any responsibility for
Medicaid. Ronald Reagan never argued that his
defense buildup didnt happen.
The Obama White House, in contrast, wants
to wish away the historic federal spending
that is one of its signature
accomplishments.
White House press secretary Jay Carney has urged
reporters to steer clear of
the BS that you hear about
spending and fiscal constraint with regard to this
Lowry
administration. Not one to
be outclassed by his press
secretary, President Barack Obama kept up
the edifying livestock theme by calling Mitt
Romneys attacks on his deficit spending a
cow pie of distortion.
The White House has a deeply conflicted
relationship to its own record. It is saddled with
a bad case of spenders denial, a rare psychological disorder afflicting committed Keynesians
facing re-election at a time of record debt.
On the one hand, spending is the lifeblood
of Forward. It saved us from another Great
Depression. It is forging a glorious new future
of green energy. It is the only thing standing
between the American public and the untold
devastation of the Paul Ryan budget. How do
we know? Because President Obama says so.
On the other hand, the deficits and the debt
that come with all this spending are alarming
and unpopular. So Obama calls himself the
most fiscally conservative president in more
than half a century. When the president isnt
extolling his transformative expenditures, he
has a Walter Mitty life as the second coming
of Dwight Eisenhower. He needs to consult an
accountant and a therapist, and not necessarily
in that order.
Andrew Taylor of The Associated Press
writes that Obama bears the chief responsibility for an 11 percent, $59 billion increase
in non-defense spending in 2009. Then theres
a 9 percent, $109 billion increase in combined
defense and non-defense appropriated outlays
in 2010, a year for which Obama is wholly
responsible. Spending growth slowed after
that, under the influence of the very same congressional Republicans that President Obama
excoriates for not allowing him to spend more.
Theres no doubt that the president inherited a
fiscal nightmare. Spending spiked as the economy tanked. His response has been to spend
yet more every single year. As a percentage of
GDP, spending has been at post-World War II
highs throughout his term. If fiscal probity is
truly his aim, President Obama is a miserable
failure of a skinflint.
The laughable claim to fiscal restraint is
meant to recapture some of Obamas former
ideological indistinctness. Back in 2008, he
could say that he wanted a net cut in federal
spending, in his guise as a post-partisan pragmatist. That was several $1 trillion deficits ago.
Now, the president can say whatever he wants,
but his budgets are a matter of public record.
He should embrace those budgets in all their
Keynesian majesty. They are one of his most
consequential contributions to our national
life, and a true expression of his philosophical
core and that of his party. In his tawdry denials, the president almost acts as if $5.5 trillion
in new debt is something to be ashamed of.
I was wanting to give a comment about the
ethanol plant closing and how Im looking
forward to the water quality improving in
town now. If anybody can remember how
sweet that water used to be, and I just cant
wait for it to start sweetening up again.
A comment to the person talking about the
new shirts for the kids in the new school.
Well, if theyd close Greeley, Westphalia and
Mont Ida and send those kids to the new
school, theyd save the community a lot of
money and then those kids would have gotten
new shirts too. And they only got new shirts
so theyd know which way to go to their
classes inside the school.
(Editors note: a call this week regarding
the school bonus paid to teachers but not to
special education teachers was inadvertently
lost. Please call back and please make your
comments more brief.)
In case you missed it, Paul Ryan delivered
a line last night that should go on a T-shirt
this morning. College graduates should not
have to live out their 20s in their childhood
bedrooms, staring up at fading Obama posters and wondering when they can move out
and get going with life. That line perfectly
describes the meatheads from Gen X who
fell in love with that Hope and Change
nonsense four years ago and elected this
disgrace.

grandchildren, and great-great
grandchildren. Brother Bill
Kellerman was unable to attend
do to health reasons. We had a
total of 107 people attend this
year.
Tables were filled with food,
leaving no one to go away hungry. After everyone finished
eating, pictures were taken
as some hadnt been there for
awhile and family members discussed which children belonged
to which family. The children
enjoyed the big play ground
equipment at the park while
parents visited. This year 11
of the 13 granddaughters, were
present. Laura Cunningham
was absent and the late Shirley
Foster. Later everyone departed
to their destinations and looked

Specialist gives tips for applying anhydrous
ammonia to wheat fields in dry conditions
MANHATTAN. As producers
start thinking about anhydrous
application for wheat this fall,
extremely dry soils can be a
concern, said Dave Mengel, KState Research and Extension
soil fertility specialist. The
question often is, when the soil
is dry, will it hold anhydrous
ammonia or will some or most
of the ammonia be lost shortly
after application?
Three factors help determine
whether ammonia might be lost
after application under dry conditions, Mengel said.
The first is how quickly
the ammonia gas is converted
within the soil to a non-gaseous
form that will stay in the soil.
Ammonia gas needs to
react with water shortly after
application in order to convert
into ammonium, which is the
molecule that can attach to clay
and organic matter in the soil,
Mengel said.
Converting from gaseous
ammonia to the less-volatile
ammonium ion takes a little
time it does not occur immediately upon contact with the soil,
he explained.
The higher the soil temperature and the wetter the soil,
the more rapid the conversion
occurs. If the ammonia does not
react with water, it will remain
as a gas that could escape from
the soil. Also, a higher percentage of the ammonia will remain
unconverted in the soil longer
at higher application rates and
at higher soil pH levels, he
said.
The second factor to consider
is how rough and open the dry
soil is, Mengel said.
Dry soils may be cloddy,
with large air spaces where the
soil has cracked. This can allow
the gas to physically escape into
the air before it has a chance to
be converted into ammonium,
the agronomist said. Getting
the soil sealed properly above
the injection slot can also be a
problem in dry soils.
The third factor is the amount
of ammonia that might be lost,
which depends on application
depth, he said. The deeper the
ammonia is applied, the more
likely the ammonia will have
moisture to react with, and the
easier the sealing.
So, can anhydrous ammonia
be applied to dry soils?
Yes, the soil fertility specialist said, as long as the
ammonia is applied deep
enough to get it in some moisture and the soil is well sealed
above the injection slot. If the
soil is dry and cloddy, there
may be considerable losses of
ammonia within just a few days
of application if the soil is ot
well sealed above the injection
slot or the injection point is too
shallow.
Producers should be able to
tell if anhydrous is escaping
from the soil during application or if the ammonia isnt
being applied deeply enough.
If ammonia can be smelled, the
producer should either change
the equipment setup to get better sealing or deeper injection,
or wait until the soil has better
moisture conditions, he said.
Mengel said producers can
minimize loss of ammonia
when applied to dry soils by:
Applying the anhydrous
ammonia at the proper depth
(at least 6 to 8 inches in 30- to
40-inch spacings);
Using covering disks behind
the knives or sealing wings
(beaver tails) on the knives;
and
Applying the anhydrous
ammonia at least one to two
weeks before planting. This
waiting period should be even
longer if soils are very dry.
MANHATTAN
While it
seems simple, for many beef
producers, the secret to success
and profit lies in knowing the
operations objective and mapping out a plan to get there.
At the recent 2012 K-State
Beef Conference held at Kansas
State University, Chip Ramsay,
general manager of Rex Ranch
in western Nebraska, advised
producers to inventory their
resources and consider the end
goals of their operation before
making management decisions.
Seldom do beef producers
have the opportunity to create something from nothing,
Ramsay said at the conference.
Most of us inherit something
and we have to take inventory
to determine what we have,
because that makes a difference
in where we want to head, he
said.
Ramsay has taken his own
advice in managing Rex Ranch,
letting the inventory and business objectives shape decisions
related to grazing management,
feeding, culling, breeding, calving and more.
One of the ranchs overarching goals is to lower cost of production while producing a calf
that performs well for both the
feedyard and the packer. The
ranch manager tries to reach
this goal by selecting replacement females from cows that
produce desirable weaning
weights, pregnancy rates, have
low labor needs and make efficient use of range resources.
Bulls for the ranch are selected from cows that thrive in
their environment and exhibit
excellent post-weaning performance.
Ramsay also advised producers to do research on
their options and seek advice
from experts as they plan and
explore management options.
Ramsay emphasized to
producers the importance of
working from a ranch plan.
Producers should write down
their breeding objectives, inventory and research findings.
They should also keep record
of their inputs and outcomes,
as these become the basis for
building or modifying the plan
in successive years.
Its tough to write things
down, especially in our industry
because our biggest strength is
our flexibility, Ramsay said.
We dont know whats going to
be thrown at us each day. Weve
made our living because we are
able to adapt.
While it is difficult at times
for producers to identify and
nail down a direction they want
to go, it is essential to moving
forward. Just because a goal or
direction is written down does
not mean it cannot be changed,
Ramsay said. It will be crucial
to reevaluate and adapt along
the way.

Parents can help kids make their homework time more productive
MANHATTAN — Homework
may be the last thing your child
wants to do, but a Kansas State
University education expert
says encouraging the habit of
homework is important.
Laurie Curtis, assistant
professor of curriculum and
instruction at the College of
Education, said doing homework helps children learn how
to prioritize tasks and helps
develop self-discipline.
Homework leads children
toward a path of independence, said Curtis, a former
elementary school teacher.
The important thing to
remember is that the type of
work the child is doing must be
appropriate. Homework should
not require the child to struggle
through something brand new
with an expectation that a parent will teach a child a concept.
It should be a time for a child
to practice something he or
she understands conceptually
in order for it to be done with
more ease and accuracy.
To keep children on track
when doing homework, its
beneficial for them to find a
quiet place equipped with the
tools needed and to have access
to a parent or older sibling in
case questions arise. Curtis also
recommends parents attend
back-to-school orientations
where teachers often explain
their homework policy, and its
important to read classroom
newsletters for information
about work being done in the
class.
Curtis said many issues can
affect a childs ability to successfully complete homework,
including being tired, hungry,
frustrated by the difficulty of
the work, or being distracted
by the fun somebody may be
having in the next room.
It is really critical that
homework is not seen as punishment or something that you
have to do instead of having
fun, she said. Families may
even consider establishing a
quiet time where everybody is
reading or doing work of some
kind during a brief time each
evening.
But if a child continually
struggles with homework,
Curtis said parents should
never hesitate to talk to the
childs teacher.
Sometimes parents can provide too much help.
Its important that parents
do not do a childs project or
homework because the one
doing the work is the one learning, Curtis said. The only lesson learned by a parent doing
a childs work is that the child
loses confidence in his or her
own abilities to independently
complete the task assigned.
While the grade might be bet-
ter in the short term due to
a parents professional touch,
the child will know that that
grade was not earned through
his or her own efforts — even at
a young age.
If asked, giving suggestions
is fine, but Curtis said parents
shouldnt take over. Allowing
the child to maintain ownership of the work at all times is
important.
To maintain a childs positive attitude about homework,
parents might want to refrain
from questioning a child about
assigned homework first thing
each night.
I think its more important
that a parent first ask what
new ideas the child heard
about, what good book he or
she heard about in the library,
etc., before the homework question is asked, Curtis said. It
establishes a more positive tone
about school. Rather than ask-
ing that yes/no question about
having any homework, perhaps
asking, What do you need to
do to get ready for tomorrow
at school, might cause a child
to think about assigned homework bit more.
Many classroom teachers
and school districts use agendas or journals where children
can record necessary tasks to
be done at home. Curtis said
parents can use these as a way
to communicate back and forth
with the teacher as well.
These can facilitate good
home-school communication,
she said. Many districts today
also use parent portals or Webbased communication through
the school district that allow
parents to view grades, homework assignments, work that
has not been turned in and
upcoming events for students
to prepare for.
When it comes to older chil-
dren and homework, Curtis
said that parents shouldnt
be surprised if their kids are
spending more time online. She
said a growing trend is a model
of instruction called the flipped
classroom.
The flipped classroom is
the concept of students gaining
content information through
online or other forms of information acquisition while at
home prior to the classroom
period, and then using the
classroom period to have the
teacher expand on the information and do collaborative
activities when face-to-face,
she said. Much of the teaching
is done via technology in the
home environment. This could
certainly change the definition
we have of homework.
School meal program reforming to heighten nutritional standards
MANHATTAN — Schools
have resumed for many of the
nations youth and one change
parents may notice is healthier
meals offered in their childrens
school meals program.
The passage of the Healthy,
Hunger-Free Kids Act in
December 2010 helped usher in
more changes to what children
are served at school, according
to a Kansas State University
school nutrition expert.
There has been a real push
to increase the amount of fresh
fruits and vegetables served to
children and a move to purchase
local foods from local farmers,
said Jeannie Sneed, head of the
department of hospitality management and dietetics in the
universitys College of Human
Ecology. Many schools offer
lots of choices so that children can select foods that they
enjoy.
Congress reauthorizes child
nutrition programs every five
years, which precipitated passage of The Healthy, HungerFree Kids Act. The legislation
included many provisions that
improved access to nutrition
assistance programs, required
compliance to new meal pattern and nutrition standards,
emphasized school wellness
policies, provided grants and
instituted a series of other
reforms related to meal pricing
and food safety.
A new menu pattern will be
implemented this year for the
School Breakfast Program and
the National Lunch Program.
The reforms will be phased in
over the next 10 years. The new
meal pattern emphasizes the
consumption of fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and pro-
vides both minimum and maximum calorie levels for children
at various grades. Increasingly
lower sodium levels also will be
phased in.
During the 2012-201313 and
2013-2014 school years, half of
all grains served must be whole
grains. By 2014-2015, all must be
whole grain.
We wont see any traditional white bread in the school
meals program, Sneed said.
Fruit servings will increase
to five cups per week as part of
the new meal pattern. Another
requirement will be for five
cups of vegetables to be served
weekly. All flavored milks will
have to be fat-free and low-fat,
unflavored milk can be served.
The number of times starchy
vegetables such as corn and
potatoes can be served has also
been reduced substantially.
The importance of reforms
in meals programs cannot be
underestimated, according to
Sneed.
There has been a trend
toward increasing obesity in
children and an increase in
metabolic diseases such as diabetes, so it is important to provide healthy choices for children in schools, she said.
Despite
the
extensive
reforms, Sneed said many
schools have done a great job
at providing nutritional options
for children.
Many schools employ
dietitians who evaluate the
foods served to make sure
they meet nutritional requirements for children, she said.
Further, the U.S. Department
of Agriculture has made concerted efforts to improve programs.
In 2011 the USDA awarded
Kansas State University funding to establish a Center of
Excellence for Food Safety
Research in Child Nutrition
Programs. The center is working to provide the scientific
basis for decisions related to
food safety in the program.
But reforming school meals
programs is only part of a process that can help curtail child-
hood obesity, Sneed said.
Children only eat a small
percentage of their meals each
year at school, she said. Its
important for parents to take
responsibility to learn about
nutrition and provide their
children with healthy choices.
Parents also need to model
appropriate eating behaviors
for their children.

When do we do the work of the church?
In Acts 2 we read of the Holy
Spirit coming at Pentecost.
Suddenly a sound like the
blowing of a violent wind came
from heaven and filled the
whole house where they were
sitting. It is at this time that
the apostles are indwelt by the
Holy Spirit. After the filling
of the Holy Spirit Peter stands
up and preaches his famous
sermon on the resurrection of
Jesus Christ. The text indicates
that about three thousand were
baptized and added to their
number that day.
This is the beginning of the
church as we know it. We are
told five other times in the book
of Acts that more and more
men and women believed in the
Lord and were added to their
number. The church started
out well and even as persecution grew the saints scattered
and took the message to the
corners of their world at that
time.
Philip was one such believer
who left Jerusalem and went
to Samaria where we are told,
They all paid close attention
to what he said. In the middle
of his ministry in Samaria an
angel of the Lord said to Philip,
Go south to the road-the desert road-that goes down from
Jerusalem to Gaza. So he start-

ed out, and on his way he met
an Ethiopian eunuch, an important official in charge of all the
treasury of Candace, queen of
the Ethiopians. The man was
reading aloud from the book
of Isaiah the prophet. Philip
explained to the Ethiopian that
the prophet was talking about
Jesus Christ and he explained
the good news about Jesus to
him. The Ethiopian was baptized and went on his way
rejoicing. Such is the way the
church was spread.
The church today is very different from then. For one thing
now most congregations meet
in a church building. Some
churchs are large and are very
beautiful while others are small
and somewhat plain. God is
not influenced by the beauty or
lack there of in your church or
mine. The point I am trying to
make is God does not dwell in
that church when it is empty.
Some of us think we have to
go to church to meet with God.
DOGS…
FROM PAGE 1A
named Suzanna. The family
fell in love with the dog, and
the Amayas wanted to adopt
her. But an official with the
dog adoption agency told him
to check the citys rules on
pit bulls; the agency wouldnt
adopt a dog into a community
that bans pit bulls-type dogs,
and the American Staffordshire
terrier is considered a pit bulltype dog.
Amaya remembers the day he
first went to City Hall to check
into the citys aggressive dog
ordinance. The more he read,
the angrier he got. The ordinance defined an aggressive dog
as those that had caused harm
to humans or domestic animals,
or those dogs that were pit bulls
and rottweilers. The ordinance
didnt actually prohibit people
from owning those dogs; owners of pit bulls and rottweilers
had to meet a number of restrictions such as keeping insurance
that covers the dog and having a
five-sided pen.
It just vilified certain dogs,
Amaya said. I told them, people
need to be educated.
By July, city commissioners faced a packed meeting as
dog defenders argued against
targeting specific breeds. They
argued breed bans were outdated and based on fear and
media hype from the 1980s and
1990s. Plus, studies had shown it
is difficult to identify a specific
breed, short of a DNA test, and
breed bans rely on a veterinarians opinion to determine if
an animal fits a certain breed.
Two local veterinarians spoke
against the breed ban.
But in later meetings, commissioners heard from another
local veterinarian and others
who defended the breed ban.
They pointed to studies that
show most serious or fatal dog
attacks are caused by pit bulls
and rottweilers.
Commissioners were divided
on the issue. Mayor Greg Gwin
was strongly opposed, while
Preston Peine and Dan Morgan
were in favor of changing the
ordinance. City Attorney Terry
Solander spent weeks researching possible changes. He based
most of the citys new ordinance
on one from Topeka, adopted in
2010.
The result was an ordinance
that takes out any reference
to specific breeds. Instead, it
is based on a dogs behavior.
Dogs with bad behavior such
as threatening or attacking
humans or domestic animals
could be placed on a list of
aggressive dogs. But its the
owners of such dogs who must
take increased responsibility
for a dogs bad behavior.
You cant take a dog to court.
You can only take the owner
to court, Solander said at one
point.
If a dog has been placed on
the aggressive dog list, owners
must meet specific guidelines
like having insurance that covers the dog, having it microchipped, having it spayed or
neutered, and keeping it muzzled and on a short leash when
it is outside the home or pen,
among other restrictions.
If an aggressive dog attacks
someone, the owner will face
fines and possible jail time.
A judge can order the dog be
destroyed, although Solander
added language to the ordinance that gives a judge more
discretion to determine if the
attack was serious enough that
the dog should be destroyed.
The ordinance also gives owners an opportunity to defend
the dogs actions, such as if it
was protecting its property, its
owners or its offspring.
In the end, all three commissioners voted Tuesday, Aug. 28,
to approve the new ordinance.
Amaya said hes looking forward to bringing Suzanna home,
probably in a couple weeks. He
plans to call her Suze.
I really appreciate everybody who has given their time
and done their homework on
this, Amaya told commissioners. I always thought, What
good does it do to go to City Hall
and complain about something.
I learned something from this
too. It does make a difference.
God requires our faithful support of the church but you see
God walks out of the church
when the last believer leaves on
Sunday morning. The church
is where believers go to share
fellowship with other believers
or non-believers. The church
is where we go to receive the
encouragement and uplifting
other believers share with us.
The church should be a place
of activity, yet rest, a place of
compassion and caring, yet
faithful obedience to the word
of God. A place to reach out to
others a place of fellowship and
the breaking of bread.
I think we should remember one thing. When we walk
out of the church on Sunday
morning the church building
is empty. God is not there. He
walked out with each and every
one of us. That is when the real
work of the church begins.
He Giveth More Grace,
In Moments Like These, I
Surrender All and Only Trust
Him. Pastor Nancy SnyderKillingsworths sermon was
titled Falling Short and scripture was read from Joshua 9:127. Music accompaniment was

Hallelujah Cowboys with an Ice

bringing distance learning or
video conferencing opportunities to the city. Another suggestion would be for the city to
provide high-speed internet service, which it could use as sort
of a carrot in business negotiations: instead of offering tax
breaks to businesses, the city
could offer free Internet.
Economic development leaders have several plans in the
works, but Arnold said he wasnt
at liberty to discuss details of
some things. E-Community, a
private foundation for economic
commerce, has taken over some
projects. Because they are a private foundation rather than a
public one, they are not subject
to the same open meetings and
open records requirements.
I think its great that we
have the E-Community, but if
economic development is doing
less and less and E-Community
is doing more and more, thats
all the community is going to
hear about, Peine said.
Because of his employment
in the technology department at USD 365, Peine said
he has attended meetings about
improving Internet service in
small cities and rural areas. One
of the suggestions was whether
a city should take on Internet
service as a utility. Peine said
he personally isnt in favor of
that, but it was ironic that the

Blome said at a recent school
board meeting. Schools have
been working on a plan for the
new common core standards.
One of the most controversial parts of the new system is
using student performance to
evaluate teachers and principals. Some question how much
of a students performance can
be attributed to the teacher, as
opposed to factors outside a
teachers control.
Along those lines, USD 365
this year will implement a
reward system for teachers
based on student performance.
Teachers will receive a $100
bonus if students in the building, as a whole, perform well on
state assessments. Because the
reward is based on the entire
school buildings performance,
there are several variables such
as if a teacher travels to different buildings, the bonus will be
prorated based on the amount of
time at each building. There is a
delay between when students
take the tests in the spring
and when results are issued in
the fall. The reward will apply
to the school year when results
are released. That also could
affect how teachers receive a
bonus. The reward system was
part of teacher salary negotiations earlier this year.

road repair
to begin
Sept. 6
Thursday, Sept. 6, the Kansas
Department of Transportation
(KDOT) expects to begin a
project to mill and resurface a
13-mile section of U.S. 169 in
Anderson County. The project
starts at the roundabout south
of Garnett and continues northeast to the Anderson-Franklin
county line.
The contractor will mill five
inches off the surface of the
roadway and then apply a seveninch asphalt overlay. Traffic at
the work zone will be reduced to
one lane controlled by flaggers
and a pilot car during daylight
hours. Motorists should expect
delays of 15 minutes or less. The
entire project should be finished
by mid-November, weather permitting.
KDOT awarded the construction contract of $8.1 million to
Venture Corporation of Great
Bend. David Baldridge, construction engineer at the Garnett
KDOT office, reminds drivers to
obey the flaggers, reduce speed,
and Give Em a Brake! at the
work zone.
The preservation project is
funded under the T-WORKS
transportation program. Those
with questions concerning the
road work may contact Baldridge

Manager Priscilla Petersen, 1877-550-5368. For more information concerning T-WORKS

With the fate of an emerging

at Philadelphia State House for
four sweltering months in the
summer of 1787. They were to
create a government that would
stand the test of time.
The

Convention delegates came from
different backgrounds. They all
agreed on one thing: America
needed a strong framework to
remain a free democracy, to
form a central government with
branches. Those branches were

The designation is part of a
new three-tiered classification
for schools after the state was
granted a wavier from No Child
Left Behind. The federal waiver
gives Kansas the flexibility to
define its own criteria for how
to improve Kansas schools. As
part of the waiver agreement,
Kansas will adopt common
core standards and new student assessments in reading
in math; establish new performance targets to improve student achievement; and provide
teacher and principal evaluation.
As part of those changes,
Kansas will identify schools
as one of three classifications:
Reward, Focus or Priority.
Schools in the top 10 percent are
Reward Schools. Schools in the
bottom 5 percent are Priority
Schools. Focus Schools have the
largest gap between the lowest performing students and the
highest performing students; 10
percent of the states schools are
Focus Schools. The conditions
apply only to Title I schools.
To determine what category
schools fall into under the new
system, state officials use four
previous years of state assess
ment performance scores, and
compare that to the most recent
scores.

There was a good deal of wind

to its starting place and descended
without difficulty or mishap. The

Communication has changed a lot
Lets take a stroll back in
time this week. Often referred
to as the good-old days, but
Im still not convinced of that.
How about communications,
for example. When there was no
radio or telephone to disseminate news quickly, when newspapers appeared weekly if at
all, and before electricity came
along to ring bells and sound
sirens, other means of reaching
the public and attracting attention were required.
To gain the attention to the
public at large, large bells operated by long ropes were placed
on top of town halls, meeting
houses and churches. When
bells were not available, alarms
were given and attention was
attracted by firing cannons,
blowing horns, beating drums
and flashing lanterns from the
tops of buildings or observation
towers. In addition, bellmen,
heralds and town criers carried
hand bells to attract attention
when proclamations were to be
read or alarms sounded.
Out on farms, large bells
were placed on the top of tall

for local archeology information.
posts or out-buildings for use
in notifying workers that meals
were ready or that an emergency had arisen. Or an iron wheel
rim was hung from a tripod and
hit with a hammer to produce
the desired signal.
In place of a push-button at
the front door, homes had metal
knockers or twist bells, which
sounded when wound by the
caller (does anyone remember
these?).
Communication inside the
larger, more elegant homes was
facilitated by various means,
most of them now obsolete. For
one thing, there was the speaking tube with built-in whistles
at both ends, which carried
voices from one floor to another,
usually from an upstairs hall
or bedroom to the kitchen or
butlers pantry. From parlor
or sitting room to the kitchen
was a bell-pull, which served
to summon the maid or butler.
Various other kinds of small
bells also were utilized to call
servants in the days when they
were more numerous than they
are today.
Later, there sometimes was
an elaborate system of bells
leading from other rooms to
the kitchen plus a shadow box
showing which bell had rung.
From dining room to kitchen
was a buzzer to summon the
maid or cook when services
were needed.
Another old custom was
advising people to take a bell
on picnics for use in calling the
frolickers in from the woods
and by-paths when the time had
come to eat or when it was time
to start home.
Yes, over the years communications have really changed!

Kansas consumers who purchased liquid-crystal display

Veterans hope to put Bulldogs in the win column
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Its almost sort of
an accounting thing.
Every football team brings
its balance sheet with it to
the opening of a new season.
Anderson County head coach
Don Hilliards been reviewing
that balance sheet every year for
the past 14 years.
Each year there are pluses
and minuses, and they all point
toward the bottom line. But you
never know just how good or
bad business is until you throw
your bottom line up against your
rivals.
This year the Bulldogs return
eight starters from the 2011 season, a year that saw AC start
0-2 but then win four in a row
– including a three-game stretch
in which the first team defense
was not scored on. The regular
season record of 5-4 brought the
Bulldogs to the first game of the
playoffs – the third straight season theyd come that far and the
6th out of the last 8 years theyd
posted a net gain of wins against
losses.

GARNETT – The ACHS Bulldog
volleyball team mustered a19-16
season in 2011, and returns this
year with a corps of senior lettermen with lots of experience
and anxious to improve on last
years mark.
We have lots of experience, said Glenn Suderman as
he begins his 28th season at
the head of the Bulldog volleyball program. Were short

The 2011 team graduated
standout Jackie Horn who now

Graham returns as co-captain for her third varsity sea-

with 1,158 sets in 2011 and an
All Pioneer League selection.
Garbarino, at 59, returns as
ACs top blocker to be a blocking and attack threat on the
front row. At 510 Martin is
one of the tallest of the starting Bulldog lineup and will see
action on both the front and
back row. Mersman is a twotime all-league selection and
comes back to the 2012 season
with the teams top attack stats

Bulldogs top passer. Michaela
Stevenson will be the teams
Libero and also comes back

debut at 510 and with an 8-foot
reach as a blocking threat on
the front row.
Freshmen Reagan Jirak and

AC runners hustle as they
league finish in 2012 season compete for varsity spots
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – The AC boys cross
country team starts the 2012
season with some younger faces
and with dedication toward
improving on the 2011 squads
record.
Last year was highlighted by
a Pioneer League finish only
three points behind first place
and Brayden Millers landing
on the schools all-time record
board. This year, with Miller,
Arthur White and Garrett
Campbell lost to graduation,
the Bulldogs will be looking to
see what another year of matu-
rity has done to some veteran
runners and what sort of talent
and hustle resides in the younger elements of the roster.
Head coach Mike Sibley
says returning lettermen and
seniors Stephen Kaufman and
Star Carter will lead the 2012
squad with newcomer Tanner
Wilson expected to help pace
the squad. Sibley said the team
will be looking for breakout performances from veteran juniors
Ian Comfort and Storm Pracht,
freshman Tyler Jumet and
sophomore Vincent Trujillo.
Sibley said the team is excited
to compete but the lack of depth
is an issue.
Youth and excitement will
propel us, but low numbers will
make it so that everyone has
to contribute in order for us to
find success, he said.
Sibley said the boys team
goal will be to place well in
the Pioneer League overall. He
said he looks for Wellsville and
newly arrived Iola squads to
fight for the overall title.
Other runners making up
the AC boys roster include
senior Blaine Katzer and sophomores Jordan Null and Jacob
Andregg.
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – The past successes of the ACHS girls cross
country program has brought
out big numbers of athletes
for the 2012 season, and head
coach Mike Sibley hopes the
runners are prepared for the
ups and downs of the grueling sport as the team pursues
Garnetts first regional cross
country title since 1977.
We have huge numbers
and plenty of talent, Sibley
said of his womens squad
of 15 runners this year. But
they have to live up to their
own expectations and not
become disillusioned if we hit
some low points during the
season.
Fourteen of those runners will likely follow senior
Amanda Moody, the uncontested pace setter of the 2012
squad and the only member
of the 2011 team to make it to
state. She finished 21st, and
came within a second of the
ACHS all time best 4K time.
Most of the muscle from
the girls team that took its 5th
straight Pioneer League title
last year returns to the 2012
season with the exception of
Paige Porter. Returning lettermen include Eliza Sibley,
Tayler Porter, Hannah Steele,
Tana Benton, Jesse Blake,
Tiffany Gafford, Alyssa
Mikesell. Theyll be competing for the six spots on varsity
behind Moody.
My hope is the increased
competition will propel the
team to new heights and a
berth in the state championships, Sibley said.
Other runners on the roster for 2012 include freshmen
Morgan Egidy, Remi Hedges,
Paige Scheckel, Gwen Sibley,
Belle Sibley; and sophomores Tana Benton, Adriann
Garbarino, Bailey Wilson.
Be smart in preparing student-athletes for games
KANSAS CITY, Kan. The director of the Youth Sports Clinic at The
University of Kansas Hospital says
preparing student athletes properly
for game-day events can not only prevent injury but help them perform
better.
Dr. Randy Goldstein is director of
the Youth Sports Clinic, located on
the main campus of The University
of Kansas Hospital and on the Indian
Creek Campus at I-435 and Nall.
Dr. Goldstein offers these tips for
game days:
Hydration Starts the Night Before
the Game. Proper hydration is more
than drinking water during the game.
It should start the night before by
drinking plenty of water. Water is
the best hydration you can have, followed by the athletic drinks with electrolytes, Dr. Goldstein says. In all
cases avoid the energy drinks with
high caffeine and taurine. They will
dehydrate an athlete more quickly.
Rest Physically and Mentally
Before a Game. A good night of sleep
can help your body respond to the
princeton quick stop
2×2.5
stress of the game. It also helps keep
your mind fresh and active and able to
respond to game situations, says Dr.
Goldstein.
Get Nutrition through Food, Not
Supplements. The best way to get
energy for a big game is to eat foods
high in carbohydrates, says Dr.
Goldstein. Pasta dinners are very
popular on game days, often with
protein such as meats, fish and nuts.
If the athlete likes to eat something
before a game, some fruit about a
half hour before game time can help.
According to Dr. Goldstein, supplements, like protein shakes, are not as
good as food for growing bones and
muscles.
Do Light Stretching Before Games
and Practices, Do Major Stretching
Afterwards. Stretching when your
muscles are warmed up will do more to
prevent injury and retain flexibility,
says Dr. Goldstein. He recommends
light stretching or jogging before a
game.
Use Braces and Supports Only as
Needed. Putting on knee or ankle
ryans
pest control
2×2.5
supports when you dont need them
can actually lead to reduced strength
in your joints, warns Dr. Goldstein.
Playing Hurt Can Reduce
Performance, Careers and Enjoyment.
Dr. Goldstein says youth and school
coaches are much more aware now
of the long term effects of ignoring
injuries. Small injuries for young
athletes can turn into long term problems for adults if left unexamined
or untreated. It is best to put safety
first for the long term future of youth
sports, he says.

Small squad amps up the
pressure on AC girls golf
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – With only
four golfers making up the
Anderson County High
School girls golf squad this
season, the pressure to perform is going to be turned up
a notch.
When we compete we
take the top four scores out of
six, said 4th year head coach
Nicole Wiehl. Its great to
have a 5th or 6th man in case
your 3rd or 4th man comes in
with a bad score for the day. It
doesnt put as much pressure
on the team when you have
six girls at the tournament
instead of knowing the rest of
the team is counting on you to
come in with a good score.
The thin number will force
the returning lettermen from
last year – seniors Carolyn
Hermreck
and
Darissa
Maley, junior Bailey Rockers
and newcomer sophomore
Samantha McCullough – to
be constantly on top of their
game.
Last year the team set some
milestones, including two
first place finishes, a second
place in the AC tournament
and second in the Garnett
regional, beating Girard by a
single stroke. Lost to graduation were seniors Jessica
Holloran, Tori Blaufuss and
Preslee Fritz, all solid golfers
who could make up the backbone of a team score.
Wiehl said schedule changes this season will add some
flavor to ACs competitive
lineup.
Chanutes invitational is
always competitive, Wiehl
said. This year we have a new
tournament Im very excited
about – Basehor Linwood is
hosting at Falcon Lakes – we
will play some teams that we
usually dont get to play, so
well see some different competition.
The Bulldogs open their
schedule Sept. 4 at Fort Scott.

Vikings bring back 17 lettermen from 2011
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND – The Central
Heights Vikings bring back
a solid corps of experienced
returning lettermen to 2012 but
are green at the quarterback
position as the season begins.
The Vikings return 17 lettermen from last year, and though
both the teams quarterbacks
are solid performers, both Zach
McAfee and Jordan Horstick
are juniors whove had little
time in the executive seat.
Second year head coach
Kent Schulte however looks for
his team to be competitive in a
Pioneer League likely to be led
by Wellsville and Garnett. At
5-5 last year the Vikings held
on to a respectable record, and
moved another year into their
scrappy reputation by making
it into the 3A state playoffs for
a 5th straight year. The Vikes
lost seniors Dalton Schwab,
Cody Sluder, Wade Davis and
Jimmy Hoskins to graduation
last year.
Schulte said his team has
good depth at a number of positions. Senior Blake Anderson,
an all-Pioneer League pick
from 2011 who led the team
in quarterback pressure and
sacks last year returns to the
offensive and defensive line.
Drew Beckwith, also a senior
and the holder of the 2011 Vikes
yards per carry stat comes back
as running back and defensive
back. Dillon Schwab was second among the Vikes in tackles
last year and returns to his
final season at offensive line
and linebacker.
Other returning lettermen
include juniors Tristan Davis at

Viking VB seeks
to overcome losses
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND – The Viking volleyball team will be a little
younger this year, but head
coach Ann Bowen hopes what
the team lacks in experience
will be made up for in her players energy and enthusiasm for
the game.
We are going to be a young
team that hasnt had much varsity action, Bowen said. The
sophomore class is having to
step up.
Last year the Vikings posted a respectable 22-14 record,
which included third place in
their own pre-season tournament and a runner up spot in
the sub state tournament. The
team graduated off some talent
last year in Katelin Horstick,
Maggie Cotter, Jennifer Bell
and Cecillia Wuertz, and Bowen
says it will leave a void that
some younger players will have
to make up.
Kenzie Hayward (junior)
will have two full seasons of
varsity experience, but she will
step into a new role as a team
leader, Bowen said. The team
also returns junior Whitney
Kraus as its only other returning letterman from 2011.
Theyll be aided by sophomores Brianna Erhart and
Sydney Meyer, along with
senior Alexis Dryden.
Bowen said the Vikings 2012
schedule doesnt look quite as
foreboding as last year, but
tournament play may be stiff.
We have added Iola in the
(Pioneer) League this year, so
that will be different, Bowen
said. There are a couple tournaments where we have the
potential to see teams like
Burlington, Rossville and West
Franklin.

BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND – Although the
numbers are a little light on
the Viking Cross Country team
this fall, a crew of experienced
runners with another year of
maturity should help Central
Heights push to be competitive
in 2012.
Weve got some experienced
runners that should really push
our underclassmen, said coach
Phillip Pearson in his first year
at the helm of the Viking runners. We want to be toward
the top of our league all season. Were in some competitive
meets that should challenge us
all season.
The Vikes graduated no
seniors last year, but lost Trevor
Burkdoll this year to injury. The

Gone from the team is the

Lancers return experience, want play-off bid
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY – To oversimplify – at
least according to Crest head
football coach Brent Smith defense makes the world go
round.
And last year, the rotation was off-axis for the Crest
Lancers.
In 2011 the Lancers gave up
way too many points, which is
uncharacteristic of Lancer
teams, Smith said. This area
will be improved upon. On
defense, look for the Lancers
to be vastly improved.
Its become the rallying
call in southern Anderson
County this fall, as Crest
looks at the prospects of an 8man changeover in the Three
Rivers League from Divison I
to Division II, and at improving on a 2011 record that left
Crest 3-6 overall and 2-3 in the
Three Rivers League. It wasnt
the record coaches, students
or fans were expecting, particularly after a 2010 district
championship and TRL league
title.
This season? Look for the
Lancers 2012 season to be one
with lots of expectations,
Smith said.
Smith said he wants
defense – even though it will
be the basic 3-2 the Lancers
have always used in recent
years – to be the hallmark of
the team. Execution will be
key. But Smith said nobody
expects Crest to stack up wins
with defense alone.
On offense we should be
pretty multi-dimensional,
which is something we have
lacked, he said. We should
possess the ability to run
and pass which should keep
defenses on their toes. Well
have a couple of key holes to

fill but I think we have some
youngsters ready to step up
for the challenge.
The Lancers return their
most decorated offensive performer from last year in senior
quarterback Kyle Hammond,
who pegged 1,366 yards on 201
carries last year, scoring 22
touchdowns of his own and
tossing 820 yards passing for
14 touchdown connections.
He was a TRL 1st Team AllLeague selection from 2011
at quarterback and at defensive lineman, and a Topeka
Capital-Journal selection honorable mention All-State running back.
Seniors Jordan Morton and
Jesse Boone are also back in
2012. Morton was Hammonds
favorite passing target in 2011,
with 10 TDs and 608 yards
receiving. He was also TRL AllLeague Honorable Mention at
defensive back and picked up
an honorable mention from
the Wichita Eagles staff as
all-state receiver. Boone led
the Lancers on defense last
year with 72 tackles and 4
fumble recoveries, and was
honorable mention in both
the TRL and Wichita Eagles
picks for defensive lineman.
Junior Brock Ellis returns
at tight end this year after his
last season was cut short by
a broken ankle in game two.
Clayton Miller, also a junior,
returns after starting 9 games
from the Lancers last year
as a sophomore on the offensive line. Senior Dylan Sedlak
returns to his defensive back
position after notching 29
tackles and recovering two
fumbles in the 2011 season.
Other 2011 lettermen coming back this year include sophomores Austin Green, Braden
McGhee, Rene Rodriguez
and Codi Vermillion; junior
Landon Stephens and senior
David Womelsdorf.
Smith said the competition
in Division II looks to be pretty
balanced overall, but he likes
Baileyville and Ashland as
the top teams statewide in the
division. Uniontown comes
into the TRL as well, lending
to a league which will make
every game a tough contest.
We want to win the League,
place in the top two in district
and advance to the state playoffs, Smith said of his 2012
goals.

COLONY – The Crest Lancer
Volleyball team starts a new
season with a new head coach
in 2012, aimed at further developing a team which has been
in rebuilding mode for the past
several seasons.
The Lancers struggled with
a 4/30 record in 2011, leaving
a lot of room to improve and a
primarily younger squad to do
it.
Abbigail Hermreck coaches
middle school VB for Crest and
took over the reins of the high
school team this year for the
first time.
Though young, the team has
decent general height. Senior
Kurston Gilliland checks in at
just under 6 foot, sophomore
Emmalee Seabolt stands 58,
and senior Maley Sherman,
junior Emily Frank, senior
Brytton Strickler and sophomore Briannna Scovill all stand
