THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 8-16-2016 / Vickie Moss

Workers with Pro-Clean Utility of El Dorado clean sewer pipe that runs in the middle of U.S. 59 in preparation of the installation of “insituform,” a non-evasive method of sewer repair. The City of Garnett has invested in a multi-year sewer system improvement project. The work under U.S. 59 is one of the earliest phases of the project and is aimed at improving sewer services to businesses along the highway, as well as some of the worst areas a few blocks from the highway. In addition to cleaning the lines, crews are identifying and capping old lines from structures that no longer exist or need to be relocated.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 8-16-2016 / Vickie MossThe road around Lake Garnett was expected to close Monday, Aug. 15, for about two weeks as crews replaced this aging culvert under a bridge just south of Garnett Country Club golf course entrance. Those who need to access the lake can head west where the road splits near the tractor pull site. After the culvert is replaced, crews will overlay new asphalt covering about 1,037 feet of the lake road. Repairs to the lake road have been an issue for about two years, as participants of the Lake Garnett Grand Prix Revival said the poor condition of parts of the road were rough on expensive sports cars that traverse the track in a throwback event to celebrate historic races at the track in the 1950s-1970s.

Fair still struggles to support carnival

GARNETT - After losing more than $4,000, an Anderson County Fair official said some-thing may need to change for future fairs to support a car-nival. It appears the fair board lost about $4,150 on the carnival last week. The fair actually

made $100 more from the carni-val than last year, but the car-nival company had increased its costs to $30,000 this year, up from $25,000 the two previ-ous years. Ticket prices also had increased in an attempt to make up the difference. “It wasn’t a failure, but we’re not going to be able to put that much money into it every year,” Jess Rockers, fair board president, said Monday, Aug. 15. The annual county fair took place Aug. 1-6, with the carni-val open in the evenings Aug.

2-6. Attendance at the carnival and other events appeared to be consistent with previous years, although temperatures in the mid-to-upper 90s may have kept some potential fairgoers at home. The busiest nights at the carnival were Tuesday and Thursday, just as they were the busiest nights last year. The fair parade on Tuesday night typically draws the larg-est crowds. Thursday events including a beef show and free youth rodeo, are events that are likely to bring out fans of

agriculture and 4-H members. The slowest night was Friday, which lacks a signature event to draw crowds. Rockers said that is typical, but it always surprises him because parents generally don’t have to work the next day so kids may be able to stay out later than usual. A free concert Friday night with music group “Just Passin’ Through” attracted a small-er crowd than anticipated, Rockers said. Between 100 and 150 people came for the con-

Pickup rolls into reservoir

GARNETT - A Garnett man attempting to put a small boat in the water Sunday morning ended up sinking his pickup truck instead. Buddy Rist Jr., 34 of Garnett, was attempt-ing to unload a row boat from a trailer attached to a 2007 Dodge 1500 pickup Sunday morning at Cedar Valley Reservoir when the truck rolled into the water, according to a report from the Garnett Police Department. Rist told police he exited the vehicle with-out putting it in park. He had one foot on the ground when he realized the problem and attempted to pull the emergency brake as the pickup began to roll, Garnett Police Chief Kevin Pekarek said. The truck’s open door struck Rist as the vehicle rolled and knocked him to the ground; the door then closed as the truck rolled down the boat ramp. It floated about 40 yards before it sank, Pekarek said. The Anderson County Dive Team was called to the scene. Divers were able to find the truck and assisted in having it pulled from the water. Rist was not injured in the incident.

USD 365 to partner with Ottawa school district for tech support

GARNETT - The departure of USD 365’s technology director earlier this summer forced school board officials to con-sider a cooperative solution they hope will benefit not only the local district but the entire region. The board agreed to join a technology cooperative with

USD 290 in Ottawa that will provide tech support to the Anderson County, Ottawa and West Franklin school districts. USD 365 will pay $60,000 annu-ally for the service. Under the agreement, the cooperative should be able to handle much of the district’s tech support needs remotely. It will send someone to Anderson County twice a week at the beginning of the school year during an adjustment period, and eventu-ally will determine how much on-site time is needed. Two USD 365 employees will have expanded technology responsi-

bilities. “Until you do something like this, there is uncertainty how it will work and if it will be bene-ficial,” USD 365 Superintendent Don Blome said in notes to the board before the meeting Thursday, Aug. 11. State education officials have recommended districts consider cooperative agree-ments for various services, such as technology, in order to improve efficiency, Blome noted. USD 365’s former technology

ACHS to get new greenhouse

GARNETT - Years of wind dam-age and disuse led to the recent demolition of a greenhouse at Anderson County High School, but USD 365 Board of Education members last week voted to hire a Richmond business to replace the structure.

A new greenhouse is expect-ed to be built at the site of the former one by Richmond-based QSI at a cost of about $14,500. QSI has built similar green-houses in other districts in the region, and Superintendent Don Blome said the greenhouse would add to the “appearance, educational environment and efficiency” of the school. It was not immediately known when the greenhouse would be con-structed, but ACHS principal Kenny Kellstadt estimated it likely would be completed by

late fall. The previous greenhouse was used for a variety of science projects years ago, and science teachers were excited about the potential projects that could be introduced for science classes as well as agriculture and FFA programs, Kellstadt said. Board member Gary Teel asked if it would be possible to use the greenhouse to grow fresh fruits and vegetables as part of the school’s lunch

At-home bus pickup policy under review

GARNETT - When USD 365 jumped into the bus business

a couple of years ago, it kept a policy set by former trans-portation provider Apple Bus that some school board mem-bers now say unfairly punishes a handful of Garnett families with multiple children who attend schools at Greeley and Westphalia. Board members say they plan to study the issue

and recommend a different pricing structure, although they still want those families to pay for the privilege of home pickup. Some families that live in Garnett choose to send their children to smaller, rural ele-mentary schools at Greeley and

BLAKENOVEMBER 18, 1937-JULY 31, 2016

Carolyn Kay (Wenthe) Blake passed away on July 31, 2016 at the Olathe Medical Center. She was born on November 18, 1937 in Topeka, Kansas to Helen (McAlexander) S n o d g r a s s and William (Bill) Wenthe. As a young child, her family moved to Ottawa where she a t t e n d e d school and was graduat-ed from Ottawa High with the Class of 1955. Carolyn attended Washburn University for a year, but put her education on hold and married Joseph (Joe) Sheldon Blake, SR. on October 4, 1957. Together they raised three children, Joe Blake, Jr (Dottie) of Garnett, KS, Bill Blake of Ottawa, KS, and Linda Price (Ed) of Huntsville, UT. She is the proud grandmother of six children, James Price, Kansas City, MO, Elizabeth Alcantara (Bogar), Washington, DC, Jesse Blake, Garnett, KS, Sheldon Price, Tinker AFB, OK, Austin Price, Huntsville, UT and Leslie

Price, Huntsville, UT and one great granddaughter, Natalie Alcantara of Washington DC. Carolyn was always actively involved in community events and volunteer work. She was a 4-H leader for over 25 years. More recently, she volunteered at Ransom Memorial Hospital for over 10 years and for AARP Tax Assistance for Franklin County. She also served as President and Secretary of Sunflower Plaza’s Resident Association. Carolyn enjoyed wagon rides with her husband Joe behind his team of Belgains. After his death, she spent countless hours knitting, crocheting and sewing. Most of her creations became treasured gifts for fam-ily members and close friends. Funeral services were at the Trinity United Methodist Church in Ottawa, on Friday, Aug. 5. Burial was at Richmond cemetery, Richmond. In lieu of flowers memori-al contributions are suggest-ed to the Franklin County 4-H Development Fund.

director Adam Caylor recently resigned in order to take a job with Ottawa University. After his resignation, the district considered hiring a private company that also would have relied on remote support for most of the district’s needs. The cooperative agreement with USD 290 is expected to save USD 365 a small smount of money, Blome said, and Anderson County schools could benefit from the larger and more experienced tech staff at USD 290. The disadvan-

tage is not having someone on site in the event of an emergen-cy, he said. “The main thing is keeping the network running, and they can do most of that remotely,” Blome told board members. The board gave President Deanna Wolken authority to sign the agreement, pending a few minor details that still needed to be worked out like who would be responsible for paying mileage for travel with-in the district. Once approved, the agreement would take effect immediately.

menu options. Board member Gaylene Comfort said grants may be available for such a pro-gram. Kellstadt said that was something to look into. The new 37 foot by 17 foot building likely will utilize an existing concrete slab with util-ities like gas, electric and water. The previous greenhouse suf-fered significant damage from wind, and replacement pan-

els had to be special-ordered from Canada, Kellstadt said. Eventually, it was abandoned for science projects and instead used for storage. Board member Dwight Nelson wanted assurances the new greenhouse would be used as a greenhouse and not stor-age. Kellstadt and Comfort said teachers were excited about the possibilities offered by a green-house, and they felt confident about its potential.

Westphalia instead of Garnett Elementary School. The dis-trict provides bus transpor-tation for those students, and until several years ago the buses picked up and dropped off students at their homes. Apple Bus Service, the district’s for-mer transportation provider, changed that policy and desig-nated one location in Garnett where students to the rural schools would be picked up and dropped off. However, students still could get front-door ser-vice at their homes for a fee of $75 per student, per quarter. USD 365 Superintendent Don Blome said only a small num-ber of families - maybe four or five, he estimated - actually take advantage of that option. After the district took over transportation services, it maintained the policy. But board member Gaylene Comfort, who represents the Westphalia area, said the pol-icy unfairly punishes families with multiple children. A bus stop with multiple children isn’t any more expensive than a stop with just one child, she argued. She also argued the $75 fee per quarter was excessive, and recommended a more reason-able rate of $75 per family per semester. Under the current policy, for example, a family with two children would pay $600 per year for the privilege of being picked up at home, although they may qualify for a discount by paying in advance. Most of the families affect-ed live in Garnett but attend school at Westphalia. One

family lives “on the way” to Westphalia, and prefers to pay for the convenience of a home stop rather than transport their children several blocks to the Ray Meyer Gymnasium on Oak Street in Garnett, which is the general pickup location. “I think the fee is puni-tive,” Comfort said, because it could discourage families from sending students to the smaller, rural schools. Some parents prefer to send students to those schools under the the-ory they could have a lower teacher-to-student ratio. Parents who choose the convenience of home pickup should pay something for it, Comfort and other board mem-bers agreed. Most board mem-bers said they would support a different fee structure, and recommended more study on the matter. The home pickup option applies only to families who choose to send their children to a school other than the one designated by their address, such as Garnett students who attend Greeley or Westphalia. Most children who live within the Garnett city limits do not have the option of home pickup by bus, and must be driven to school, or walk, ride a bike or find some other mode of trans-portation. There isn’t a transporta-tion fee for rural students who live more than 2.5 miles from school. The district also doesn’t charge to transport students to St. Rose Philippine Duchesne School, a private Catholic school in Garnett.

cert, which Rockers said was a much smaller number than the fair board expected. The board paid about $1,000 to present the free concert. Wednesday evening’s Merchant Tent appeared to have fewer booths compared to previous years, attendees said, and entries for the pie auction that night were about half as much as a typical year. But Saturday’s demolition derby fared well considering it competed with six other demolition derbies in eastern Kansas the same night with one as close as Mound City, Rockers said. Attendance was good, although the number of participating cars and drivers was lower than usual. Local civic clubs that pro-vide food booths for fund-raising events reported good results, such as the Garnett Lions Club that reported 2016 gross sales at a three-year high. The fair board likely will take a hard look at next year’s events to determine what changes can be made to boost attendance on slower nights, Rockers said. That could mean moving events to different nights to try to balance atten-dance. And as for the carnival attendance, Rockers said com-munity support remains key to keeping a carnival. Now that the county fair has offered a carnival for the past three years after several years with-out them, it’s easier to see trends and patterns. That could help the board negotiate for a better deal if it decides to seek a different carnival company to supply rides and staff, he said. But that also could mean changing the dates of the fair - again.

Years ago, when the fair board made a concerted effort to bring a carnival back to the fair, it was difficult to find an affordable company with an opening in its schedule. Most counties have their fairs between late-July and mid-Au-gust, competing for a limited number of carnival companies. When the Anderson County Fair board hired Fun Time Shows three years ago, it had to move the dates of the fair from the last week of July to the first week of August. Rockers said it could be difficult to change the dates again. In addition to the money paid by the fair board, the City of Garnett and Anderson County commissions also pitch in another $5,000 to help cover the costs of the carnival. Between the city, county and fair board, ticket sales make up about two-thirds of the guar-anteed payment to Fun Time Shows. The fair board and the com-munity seem to like the rides, staff and services provided by Fun Time Shows, Rockers said. But if the county can’t afford the carnival, the board may have to look at other options, he said. It’s also important for the community to do its part, Rockers added. The past three years have shown a base-level of support, so attendance likely needs to expand outside the local area if the carnival can be successful. “We need to encourage peo-ple to invite their friends and family from out-of-town. Invite your kids’ cousins to come and enjoy a night out,” Rockers said. “Evidently, our city and county can’t support it by our-selves.”

Obama’s parting shot on nuclear weapons The Obama administration is entering its final months, but it’s never too late to further diminish U.S. influence and discomfit our allies. President Barack Obama is consider-ing adopting a policy of “no first use,” i.e., declaring that the United States would never use nuclear weapons except after a nuclear attack on itself or its allies. From Obama’s perspective, this change would have the dual advantage of being something he can legit-imately do on his own and representing a radical departure in the country’s nuclear doctrine. For 70 years, presidents of both parties have maintained a posture of nuclear ambi-guity. We wanted enemies to have to con-template the possibility of a U.S. nuclear response to acts of aggression. This added an extra element of uncertainty and risk to potential attacks on us or our friends, in the hopes of deterring them in the first place. Advocates of no first use urge that we get beyond “Cold War thinking,” a favorite line of President Obama’s as well. The end of the Cold War indeed changed the strategic envi-ronment, but it didn’t make nuclear weap-ons obsolete, or render age-old concepts like deterrence inoperative, or eliminate interna-tional conflict. Declaring no first use would kick away an element of our nuclear deterrent. Yes, we no longer have to worry about deterring a mas-

sive Soviet army facing west. But Vladimir Putin has already changed the borders of Europe through force, and there’s no reason to think he’s necessarily done. A RAND Corporation study says that Russian forces could reach the capitals of the Baltic States in less than 60 hours. Why would we make Putin’s calculation any easier, or ease the minds of other poten-tial aggressors like China and North Korea? We might never use nuclear weapons in response to a conventional attack, no matter how brazen. Obviously the risks in resorting to nuclear weapons would be mind-boggling, but taking the possibility off the table serves no purpose. If we are going to have nuclear

weapons, we should take advantage of their deterrent effect. Relying entirely on conventional forces for deterrence would require more military spending and more forward-deployed assets by us and our allies. Of course, the analysts and activists who argue for no first use tend to be the same ones who think we spend too much on defense. One of these things does not go along with the other. Our allies are freaked out about the pros-pect of no first use. They have long relied on our nuclear umbrella, and if it is being pulled back, countries like South Korea and Japan will need to reconsider their deci-sions to forswear nuclear weapons. This is why no first use would contradict President Obama’s opposition to nuclear proliferation, and make Global Zero -- the disarmament movement’s goal of a world free of nuclear weapons -- even more of a pipe dream. In short, there is nothing to recommend no first use unless you are a lame-duck presi-dent heedless of strategic reality and looking to make a gesture of anti-nuclear righteous-ness. No first use would make the world, at the margins, a more dangerous place -- and be a perfect parting shot for President Obama.

Next Kansas experiment? A 5% budget cut We’re about to see an interesting econom-ic/management/political experiment play out in the dusky, complicated business of assembling a two-year budget plan for the next two fiscal years of Kansas government. The director of the budget has told state agencies under the governor’s control to find ways to cut their budgets by 5%. Hmmm….5% doesn’t sound like a lot of money, does it? It’s the difference between leather seats and maybe a sunroof on your next new car, or chicken rather than trout at the restau-rant. Reason for the request is, of course, that the state is losing money; its taxes aren’t bringing in the amount of money that the governor wishes it would and costs for near-ly everything are rising. And…of course, Gov. Sam Brownback would like to spend the last two years of his second and last term in the governor’s office providing Kansans with the services that they want, so they’ll think good of him in case he wants to look for a job when he leaves the state-provided housing at Cedar Crest. But that 5% is a rough one, and most of us would like that sunroof and trout if we could have it. The procedure for asking for that budget cut from state agencies isn’t new…but the 5% is higher than in previous requests for agencies to pare their spending. That’s where the under-the-covers swap-ping of spreadsheets, paring of expenses and such become interesting. Practically, agencies might take a big view and assess what they do and for whom and how to do it most economically. That makes

sense. But it puts the Cabinet secretaries—and their accountants and budget minions—in the gunsights of lobbyists, unions and those who work with their agencies who will be fighting for more money for their clients and members and the public who uses those services. Take for example, highways. A 5% budget cut to an already pretty well scoured budget means that lobbyists for highway contrac-tors, contractors’ employees and drivers will be watching that proposed budget cut and probably not liking it. Same for those who depend on state aid to public schools, community colleges and high-er education, and for state assistance to farm-ing, to parks and recreation and tourism, and nearly every other enterprise on which the state spends money. Of course, there’s some logic to asking those agencies to come up with their own budget-cutting plans. Those agencies know

what services they provide are most import-ant to Kansans, and probably know where there’s a little extra money being spent, or where the qualifications for state assistance are a little loose and such. So they’re the best people to look for that 5%. But, they are also the people who know best where a 5% cut can become political-ly and socially dangerous. Don’t want the budget cut? Suggest that the cut comes from school lunches, or “yield” signs on highways or those signs that tell you the maximum weight that a bridge is likely to be able to support. Get it? Propose cuts that the agency chiefs know that the governor won’t want to put in his budget that he hands to the Legislature in January. Yes, it’s an internal administration game that can be played several ways…either to reduce state spending to the level that no new taxes are needed, or to make the “other Cabinet secretary” take cuts that will make new taxes unnecessary—at least until the Kansas Supreme Court decision on the ade-quacy of state aid to public schools… No telling whether we’ll ever see the indi-vidual agency give-ups to get to that 5% cut, or whether we’ll have to gauge which agen-cies made the cuts internally and which were imposed on them by the governor. It’ll be worth watching…

Garnett needs housing solution The City of Garnett is doing its part to reduce blight in the city’s residential areas by knocking down dilapidated houses, but city commissioners should also be putting pressure on the city’s economic development agency to come up with a plan to encourage private development to replace those lost res-idences. Unfortunately there is no shortage of fail-ing houses in town, but the city only has funds to demolish and haul off three or four such eyesores per year. Others stand ready to demolish, and some are on the critical brink of becoming lost causes but are tied up in disputed ownership or held by absentee owners who simply don’t feel any pressure to do anything with them. As any homeowner knows, the work to maintain a home is never ending even for those that are still inhabited. A standing structure left vacant for years at a time is even worse in terms of its steady degrada-tion. The problem is an indicator of a broader issue, but determining exactly what that issue is and what its solution might be is a tougher endeavor. The city has issued only a handful of new home construction permits in the past 10 years – for whatever reason, very few people seem to want to build new homes in town, even though more building lots with easily available utilities are available every year due to city efforts to clear previous abandoned structures. Yet in the rural areas of Anderson County, a striking figure of more than 200 such per-mits have been issued for home construc-tion since the county instituted rural zoning in 1999. People may not want to build in Garnett, but they certainly have been willing to take advantage of continued low mortgage rates to pepper the surrounding countryside with new construction. That construction has been good for population retention and good for the county’s property valuation. The good news is that homebuilders with means are recognizing our area’s advantag-es and amenities and investing in homes to continue our community. The bad news is that while these investors take advantage of services paid for by city taxpayers and utility customers, they don’t pay the city property tax levy. So, for some reason, people who want to

live in the area don’t want to live in Garnett. But the city needs more than redevelop its tax base and restock its housing supply; there is morale and momentum in being a place that attracts home builders instead of the opposite. City leaders have leaned toward a solution in seeking to expand the city’s Neighborhood Revitalization Program city wide instead of only in traditionally blighted areas. That program allows 90 percent rebates for a num-ber of years on improvements that would follow a new home’s construction, but county commissioners don’t want to give those taxes back to builders who can afford to build in the town’s more affluent areas. But Garnett needs upscale housing as much as it needs modest domiciles. Are “spec” house investment opportunities a solution with the right organization and lead-ership? Maybe Habitat For Humanity-style efforts to construct basic, affordable housing for those on leaner budgets? Both are targets worth analyzing. It’s an economic problem and a communi-ty sustainability problem – vacant lots lead to declining valuation, which leads to higher taxes on the remaining property owners to fund government services, which makes the area even less palatable to prospective resi-dents. More than that, it is decline – and no community wants that. The situation is justification for city com-missioners to direct the city’s jointly-funded Anderson County Development Agency to set in-town housing as a priority issue in the city and to determine a course of action that can stave off further decline.

PHONE FORUMOn the train whistles through town, didn’t that guy read the paper? It’s where they have all the intersections blocked where they don’t have railroad signals anymore. That’s what they’re talking about. There’s only two inter-sections where they have to blow their horns at. So they’re not talking about those, they’re talking about when they blow their horns all the way through town which they don’t need to do.

I can’t believe the idiots who want to keep train noise in Garnett and hate the fundraisers once a year. Everybody we know hates the trains and the honking all night and every morning. Most won’t buy a home here because they can’t stand the noise. Sure hope the quiet

zones get here soon, and you folks get a shack by the railroad tracks.

The only way to get ahead of the Democrats for when they win the next election is to take your money out of the bank and bury it.

To the person that thinks we’re going to let all these illegal people in. Well, illegals have been on the decline for the last 10 years and Trump is nothing but a racist, a bigot, a hate monger and liar. I could go on and on. Don’t even think about voting for Trump, he’s a loser.

I’m calling about the trains in Garnett. I’m reading all kinds of complaints about them. Trains have been around since the beginning of time and train whistles have saved many people’s lives. Myself, I love the sound of the train whistles. I’ve lived around where I can hear train whistles all of my life, and I’m an elderly person. So not everybody hates them.

I was reading the paper in the Garnett police report where a person reported that they had 26 valium tablets stolen that were valued at $234. Well, I have a pre-scription for valium for 30 per month and it’s only $10. The police should check that out because they’re not worth that much unless it’s the street value and they’re selling them.

What will God look for? In my studies I came across the following quote from an unknown source. “God will not look you over for medals, degrees, or diplomas but for scars.” This is certainly a bib-lical principle. In 2 nd Corinthians 11:24-25 the apostle Paul relates the hardships he faced for being a follower of Jesus Christ. “Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked. I spent a night and a day in the open sea, I have been constant-ly on the move.” Paul goes on to explain the other dangers he faced which included hunger, thirst and nakedness. Paul was not alone in his suffering. King Herod had James, the brother of John put to death with the sword. John the Baptist was beheaded and John the Apostle was exiled to the island of Patmos and later died in Ephesus. Down through the centuries thousands of people have been put to death or made to suffer because of their discipleship with Christ, Discipleship with Christ leads to self-denial and suffering. Isn’t it interesting that the gift of salvation is free but being a Christian is very costly. All of this suffering and cost began at the cross. Thus one can only know and confess Jesus as God’s Son from the

vantage point of the cross. It is only through the Son of God who suffers and dies that we may see into the heart of God and enter into fellowship with him. In Mark 8:34-35 Jesus called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gos-pel will save it.” There is certainly a place for medals, degrees, and diplomas. We need to be recognized for achievements. We need to be educated but we also need some scars. In the hour of his death, Christ offered his life to God on behalf of mankind. The per-fect life which he offered was acceptable to God. The salva-tion secured through the giving up of that life is God’s free gift to mankind in Christ. When we stand before God in the next life will we be decorated with medals, degrees and diplomas from personal achievement or will we have scars from doing the work of God?

Share with care: Know the risks before you share a home, ride The sharing economy is rap-idly gaining popularity. Within the next eight years projections show that sharing rides, homes and equipment will be a $335 billion global industry. But before you jump in on peer-to-peer transactions, understand how they work and how to avoid financial pit-falls, according to Ken Selzer, CPA, Kansas Commissioner of Insurance. “Knowing the insurance considerations involved in sharing economy transactions is especially important as these business and personal ventures move forward,” Commissioner Selzer said. “Sorting out the main points now can save you possible frustration later.” The following tips may help consumers and entrepreneurs in their sharing activities.

Don’t be taken for a ride Ridesharing companies such as Uber and Lyft connect individual drivers with people who need rides. Passengers and drivers can screen each other, schedule rides and col-lect payment electronically. Consider these tips to stay safe on the roads while using a ridesharing service: Before contracting as an Uber or Lyft driver, know if your personal auto insurance

policy typically excludes cov-erage for business use or when drivers are “available for hire.” Several insurers offer prod-ucts to fill coverage gaps for ride-share drivers. Premiums, type of coverage, limits and availability vary by state. Ask your insurance agent to find out what is and is not covered. Before accepting a shared ride, know the extent that you are protected in the event of an accident. Most ridesharing companies have liability pol-icies to cover any passenger injuries. If you are injured while riding, report a claim with the driver’s insurer and the ride-sharing company’s insurer.Home is where the “smart” is Home-sharing or peer-to-peer rentals offer people the opportunity to rent out rooms or entire homes to guests for extra income. Guests find a property online and pay for the stay like a hotel. The difference is that the property is often a privately-owned apartment, condo or house, and anyone can register as a host or guest. The following facts will improve your home-sharing

smarts: If you regularly rent out rooms for a profit, that venture could be considered a home-based business. Because some homeowners policies won’t cover property damage caused by or injuries to a paying guest, talk to the home-sharing ser-vice and your own insurance agent to determine if addition-al liability coverage or special landlord insurance is needed.If you plan to stay in accommo-dations secured through a ser-vice such as Airbnb or VRBO, confirm that your own home-owners, renters or personal lia-bility insurance policies offer protection for potential damag-es to the rental property. If not, make adjustments as needed.Home-sharing user agreements change often. Read the fine print every time you book a stay.

Personally speaking…. A smaller segment of the sharing economy involves the lending of personal items for a fee. Lenders and bor-rows advertise and rent items like power tools, golf clubs or designer dresses online. This also occurs when someone

seeks help online from another individual to help with tasks like packing boxes or house-cleaning. Check out the following tips to help protect yourself and your items: When lending goods such as a designer dress or bicycle, get a security deposit to help cover any losses. Capture photos and other information in your own home inventory. You could be liable for rent-ing out items that you know don’t work properly. Your homeowners policy may not cover the transaction because you were paid in exchange for the rented goods. If you hire a stranger to help with home cleaning, moving or other tasks through sites such as TaskRabbit, find out the insurance coverage. The service may offer a guarantee, but often it is secondary to any insurance or policies you may already have in place. “Life can be more connect-ed when working within the sharing economy, but you need to prepare yourself first so you are not surprised later,” Commissioner Selzer said.

Add ‘insurance’ to your college list Many Kansas families have students going to college this month. With the necessities of college life—clothing, electron-ic equipment, more clothing, more electronic equipment… remembering to pack every-thing is always a challenge. But in the rush to pack, don’t forget to add “insurance” to the list of necessary items. The following insurance tips for both parents and col-lege students originate from information compiled by the Kansas Insurance Department and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.

Auto Insurance Check for details with your agent. If your student is taking a vehicle to school, check with your local agent about the cur-rent vehicle insurance policy. If you ask about the rates for the college’s city that may help you decide whether to keep the student’s car on the family’s auto policy. Look for the good student discount. Make sure your insurance company is notified each semester if your student maintains good grades. Getting a good student discount on the vehicle’s premium saves money. Make it easier to report an accident. Installing the WreckCheck mobile smart-phone application from the NAIC gives both the student and parents an outline of what to do immediately following any vehicle accident. The free app helps you create an acci-dent report.

Renters Insurance Know your landlord doesn’t protect your personal proper-ty. You should realize that a landlord’s insurance policy doesn’t cover a renter’s per-sonal belongings. Also, make sure to take photos or video of the possessions, and store an inventory list in a secure loca-tion. To print an easy-to-use home inventory checklist and get more tips about disaster preparedness, visit www.ksin-surance.org. Smartphone users can complete an electronic property inventory by using the myHOMEScr.APP.book application from the NAIC. Finally, ask if your home-owners insurance policy will cover the belongings in the student’s car or rental trailer before he/she gets to campus.

Identity Theft Know the limits of identity theft insurance. With constant cybersecurity concerns, iden-tity theft coverage is certainly a consideration. Identity theft insurance is limited, however.

It can’t protect parents or stu-dents from becoming victims of identity theft, and it doesn’t cover your direct financial losses. It does provide cover-age for the cost of reclaiming a person’s financial identity —making phone calls, making copies, mailing documents, tak-ing time off from work without pay, and hiring an attorney. The primary policyholder of your homeowners policy should check first to see if the policy includes identity theft insurance while the student is away from the family home. If a student is renting an apart-ment, ask if his/her renters insurance covers identity theft, or if that could be added to the policy.

Health Insurance Realize health insurance options. Nearly all young adults up to age 26 can now stay on their parents’ health insur-ance plans because of federal health laws. At school, students should have copies of their insurance cards and know how/where to seek medical treatment. If the student is insured through a network of medical providers, check to see if he/she will be in or out of the network service area while at school. That will make a differ-ence in how much you or your student will have to pay for out-of-pocket charges.

Dental and Eye Care Routine dental care and eye care generally are not includ-ed as part of a health insur-ance plan. Also, most health insurance plans do not cover expenses related to periodic eye examinations, glasses or contact lenses, but most will cover medical care as a result of an eye disease or injury. Preparing to go to college can be stressful for both stu-dents and parents. However, knowing that the student and his/her belongings have prop-er insurance coverage relieves some of that stress.

There were 220 people in attendance.

Parents encouraged to talk to kids about pedestrian safety, more before class begins Back to school is a busy time for children and families. Between school supplies, new clothes, and sports tryouts, parents may not think about safety issues. During back to school time, Safe Kids Kansas, the Kansas Department of Transportation, and the Kansas Highway Patrol want to remind parents to talk to their children about how to stay safe. Pedestrian safety is very important this time of year, as more than 19,200 children seek medical attention for injuries sustained while walking, and almost 500 children die every year in pedestrian accidents. According to a 2012 report by Safe Kids, pedestrian injuries among 16-19 year olds increased 25 percent over the previous five years. Teens now account for half of all pedestrian deaths among children 19 and under. “Distraction is a problem for both drivers and pedestri-ans,” said Cherie Sage, Safe Kids Kansas coordinator. “As students head off to school, we urge you to talk to your kids, including teenagers, about the importance of putting electron-ic devices away before crossing busy streets or negotiating traf-fic in places such as parking lots. And, adults need to follow our own advice. Give the road your full attention so you can watch for school zones and kids biking and walking to school.” Safe Kids Kansas recom-mends the following tips for back to school. 1. Put devices down while crossing the street and getting onto or off of the bus. One in five high school students cross the street while distracted by technology. Teach your kids to put devices down, look up, listen, and make eye contact

with drivers before crossing the street. If your kids ride a bus, teach them only to use devices while on bus, and not while waiting on, or exiting the bus. 2. Walk with your kids to the bus stop and wait with them until it arrives. Tell kids to stand at least three giant steps back from the curb, and to line up away from the street, as the bus approaches and board the bus one at a time. 3. Make sure your carpool is safe. Carpooling is a great way to save time for busy families. Make sure each child in the car-pool has a car seat, booster seat, or safety belt, based on individ-ual age, weight, and height. If there isn’t, find an alternative way for your child to get to and from school. 4. Receive a pre-participation physical exam. Before playing organized sports, make sure your child receives a pre-par-ticipation physical exam, or PPE, by a doctor. This can help rule out any potential medical conditions that may place your young athlete at risk. 5. Drink enough water. To keep kids in top shape for sports or gym class, it’s import-ant for them to stay hydrat-ed. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends 5 oz. for an 88-pound child every 20 minutes or 9 oz. for a 132-pound adolescent every 20 min-utes. 6. Check playgrounds where your children play. Look for age-appropriate equipment and hazards, such as rusted or bro-ken equipment and dangerous surfaces. Report any hazards to the school. 7. Whether walking or driv-ing, obey all traffic signals. Kids should cross the street at the corner or crosswalk if there is

one, but it’s also important for drivers to watch out for young people who may be thinking about getting to school. Back to school safety is not only critical for students and their families, but for all of those who travel on our roads. KDOT and KHP remind motor-ists they must be alert as they share the road with kids headed back to school. 1. Be alert. Children arriving late for the bus may dart into the street without looking for traffic. 2. If you see a bus ahead, slowdown in preparation for its stop. It’s easy to misjudge the speed at which you can over-take a bus, and they make fre-quent stops. 3. Know that it is illegal to pass a school bus stopped for loading/unloading. In Kansas, the fine for this potentially deadly violation is $315, plus court costs. 4. Learn the flashing signal light system that school bus drivers use to alert motorists of pending actions. Never pass a bus when flashing lights are displayed. • Yellow flashing lights indicate the bus is preparing to stop. Motorists should slow down and prepare to stop. • Red flashing lights and an extended stop arm indicate the bus is stopped and children are getting on or off. Motorists must stop and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extend-ed sign is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving before start-ing to drive again. 5. While stopped behind a bus, motorists should put all distractions away and give their full attention to the road, and what is going on in and around the bus.

Head back to school with good food With school starting across Kansas this unfortunately can mean the return of unhealthy lunches which can certainly be labeled as fast food, most of which come to schools shipped in already prepared pack-aging. If you have or have had children in school, you know what I mean. Beanie weenies, chicken nuggets, high-carb mac and cheese, fried snacks and sugary soft drinks are popular fare served at school cafeterias across the Wheat State. Still, school lunch programs can play a key role in teaching and rein-forcing healthy eating behaviors by inte-grating activities like on-site gardens, nutrition education, locally sourced foods and endeavors that affirm the value of mealtimes. You don’t have to have eagle eyes to see this nation has a problem with obesity and that challenge has spread to this country’s youngsters. Did you know approximately 17 percent of U.S. chil-dren and adolescents aged 2-19 are obese, according to the U.S. Center for Disease Control? That’s nearly triple the amount in 1980. It’s time we turn this train around. Initiatives that connect our youth to fresh, healthy foods, a healthy lifestyle with plenty of exercise and healthy eat-ing habits will go a long way toward changing this obesity endemic. What’s happening here may seem more difficult than it really is. Looking back in our not too distant past, many

Americans ate a balanced diet consisting of plenty of fruits, vegetables, grains and protein. Eating healthy isn’t easy, but it isn’t impossible either. It does take discipline, restraint and the willingness to make life-altering changes in what have become bad-choice, unhealthy eat-ing habits. What better place to begin than with the future of our youngsters? Talk about an idealistic endeavor. Let’s begin with one of the most important steps – connecting local farm-ers to schools. In communities across Kansas, local food producers provide beef, lamb, pork, poultry, fruits, grains and vegetables at local markets or direct-ly from their farms. Why can’t they provide farm-fresh foods for our school children? Well this is happening – and right here

in Kansas. In Clark County, in south-western Kansas, local stockmen donate cattle to help feed students at Ashland High School. This generous contribution is known as the USD 220 beef program. Between 15 and 20 livestock producers pledged to provide beef for this new pro-gram. With this many contributors, each producer donates one animal every two years. This new strategy, allows the school district hopes to significantly reduce its food costs, engage the community, reward livestock producers and provide for its students. Another program I recently read about includes the state of Vermont. Here a successful farm to school movement throughout the last 10 years has aided school lunch programs from state money. Nearly 60 percent of the schools have participated. Children of Vermont have benefited with farm-fresh foods and local farmers have expanded their business into a market worth more than $40 mil-lion. School gardens can provide hands-on opportunities for children to cultivate and grow their own food. In high pov-erty areas of north Texas, school gar-dens not only nurture healthy lifestyles and respect for the environment, they can also provide academic achievement through the primary experiences of gar-dening. Nutritional education should be a part

of every public school in this country. So funding is tight. That’s a given. What if we engaged professional volunteers to run a broad range of topics that address nutrition? You know, farmers and ranchers, agri-business types and maybe even peo-ple with nutritional backgrounds. Our goal should be to feed our chil-dren while they are in school, but feed them with nutritious meals that will help them grow up to be healthy, well-adjusted adults. It’s time to cut back on a diet that focuses on processed foods delivered in boxes. Children spend seven to eight hours nine to 10 months out of every year in schools across our nation. These same schools have our children under their wing more time than we as parents and grandparents during each day school is in session. Let’s reverse this trend of snacking and eating less than nutritious foods in our school systems. Your children, grandchildren and mine deserve the best and healthiest foods available – fresh, locally produced and made from scratch served up at their schools.

Plan ahead to keep food safe with Prepare KansasMANHATTAN, Kan. – Ice storms, tornadoes, and flooding – Kansas has them all and more. Do you real-ly know how long food will stay safe in the refrigera-tor if your power is out? Or what foods and supplies you should have on hand in case of emergencies? Starting Sept. 1, Prepare Kansas 2016 will provide tips on keeping food safe in emergency situations. This year’s program will be con-ducted through the K-State Research and Extension Facebook page. No reg-istration is required, so Kansans and anyone inter-ested in planning ahead for emergencies can follow on Facebook at any time during September, pick up handy information and interact with K-State extension spe-cialists and agents. Throughout 2015, a total of 126 tornadoes occurred across the state, which made it the fourth highest year for tornados since 1950, according to the Kansas Department of Emergency Management. “Kansas has its share of disasters, whether it’s a homeowner’s basement flooding or a fire affecting a whole block in a community. We’re committed to working with people across the state to help them be prepared for anything that comes their way,” said Kansas State University associate profes-sor Elizabeth Kiss. “We can’t always keep disasters from happening, but we know that being as prepared as possible, whether it’s mak-

ing an emergency kit or hav-ing copies of your financial and personal information in a separate, safe place, aids in the recovery from disasters. Kiss, a K-State Research and Extension financial management specialist pro-duces the Prepare Kansas blog, which provides tips and resources on a range of emergency preparedness topics, including this year’s focus on food safety during September. “It is very important to keep food safety in mind before, during and after emergencies such as power outages and floods, to help to reduce the likelihood of people getting sick from eat-ing contaminated food. That would make a challenging situation even worse,” said Londa Nwadike, consum-er food safety specialist with K-State Research and Extension. “Some of the food safety practices that are important in emergency situations are good practices to help prevent people from getting sick at any time.” Kiss and Nwadike, along with several K-State col-leagues, are delegates to the Extension Disaster Education Network, a net-work of extension profes-sionals across the country working to mitigate the effects of disasters through education. More information on Prepare Kansas will be available in September at https://www.facebook.com/KStateRE and any time at https://blogs.k-state.edu/preparekansas/.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, August 16, 20162B BUSINESS

BUSINESS BEATWhen you’re hot, you’re hot The 22 year-old refrigerator in my office has finally gone kaput, so I’m now in the mar-ket for a refrigerator. I have become my own study for sales and most importantly, timing. Some lucky refrigerator owner is going to make a sale! Note: Yesterday, I was not in the market for a refrigerator, but today I am. Very simply, in one final mechanical gasp of what is probably by now ille-gal liquid coolant, I’ve literally “moved” into the “market” for a refrigerator. That’s important to any of us in business, because depending on a whole range of factors, our customers move into and out of the market for our prod-ucts and services every day. Anticipating the best time to “meet” them with our selling message means anticipating when they are moving into the market for what we sell, and how to make sure they find us when they do. Think of it this way: People buy baby food…when? If you said “when they have a baby” give yourself a $1. Do they always buy baby food? Of course not- we hope by the time the kid’s 21 or so he can feed himself. So they’re in the mar-ket for baby food for a relative-ly short time – but when they need it, they really need it. It’s the same with your prod-uct or service. Certain times of the year; certain life circum-stances; certain emergencies, etc., move people into and out of your market. A just-retired person may be in the market for ceramics classes; a high

school freshman’s mom may be in the market for basketball shoes; a 45 year-old balding guy may be in the market for a Corvette. Customers move into and out of various markets all the time. They may not always have been there and they may not always be there, but at any particular time, someone undoubtedly is. That’s why the “idea” of sell-ing should be foremost in your mind as a business person all the time. If you are not in the midst of selling something at this period in time, you should be constantly establishing your brand as top-of-mind aware-ness for the time when cus-tomers start moving into your market. Understanding how and why people move into and out of the market for your product is one of the fundamental keys in sell-ing to them.

Why are Kansas wheat futures and cash prices so far apart? COLBY – This year’s abun-dant hard red winter wheat crop, slow export demand and ample supplies of low-priced feed grains available to com-pete with wheat for livestock feeding have combined to pull Kansas wheat prices lower this summer. Anticipated large har-vests of corn, grain sorghum, soybeans and other crops this fall are likely to further clog the state’s grain storage and handling systems, according to Kansas State University associ-ate professor Dan O’Brien. One apparent result of the tight grain storage situation is that the Chicago Mercantile Exchange July Kansas hard red winter wheat futures con-tract did not converge with the actual cash price being paid for wheat at designated delivery elevator locations in central Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri as it normally would. The disconnect between futures and cash prices could have implications for crop insurance programs, O’Brien said.. For example, on July 1, at the beginning of the delivery period for Chicago Mercantile Exchange July 2016 Kansas hard red winter wheat futures, the contract closed at $3.94 a bushel, down from $4.61 on May 2 – the price of May 2016 wheat futures at the beginning of its delivery period. Also on July 1, cash prices for wheat truck bids in Kansas City, Missouri were $3.66 per bushel. On Aug. 8, cash basis levels had fallen further to $0.58 per bushel under Sept. 2016 CME Kansas HRW wheat futures. Basis levels had fallen $0.80-$0.85 per bushel under des-ignated delivery locations in Salina/Abilene, Hutchinson, and Wichita, Kansas. “The current wide wheat basis situation in Kansas seems to be the result of large inventories of wheat in combi-nation with other grains accu-mulating in Kansas grain ele-vators across the state in gen-eral, and at designated delivery elevators in particular,” said O’Brien, an agricultural econ-omist with K-State Research and Extension. Basis is the dif-ference between a local cash price for a commodity and the price of a specific futures con-tract of the same commodity and any given point in time. “These large inventories have resulted in greater demand for grain storage, and raised the true value of physical grain storage space above the rates of storage written into the CME Kansas hard red winter wheat

contract for delivered wheat. As a result, a positive ‘wedge’ has formed between the true value or “price” of physical grain storage space and the futures contract storage rate on delivered hard red winter wheat.” Because of this, long futures position holders who have been delivered upon by short posi-tion holders have an incentive to continue to pay storage and “store” the warehouse receipts they have been forced to take rather than to “load out” or actually sell the wheat in the cash market, he said. This incentive to hold and store the delivered wheat rather than move it into the cash market is a major contributing factor in the widening of wheat basis levels during delivery periods for CME Kansas HRW wheat at delivery locations in Kansas and at Kansas City, Missouri. The impact on wheat basis lev-els at these key locations fil-ter out to other grain elevators across the state. One solution to the forma-tion of such positive “wedges” between the value of physical storage space and lower futures contractual storage rates on delivered wheat, O’Brien said, would be to raise the contrac-tual storage rates to a level as high as the value of physical storage space is likely to ever be in the foreseeable future. Such action by the CME on the Kansas HRW wheat futures contract would help to solve the problem of non-convergence between cash wheat prices and wheat futures in Kansas wheat markets that occurs at desig-nated grain elevator delivery locations, and that affects grain elevators across the state “If these periods of non-con-vergence for CME Kansas HRW wheat were eliminated, it would benefit Kansas farmers in terms of more effective and efficient crop revenue insur-ance programs and wheat mar-keting strategies,” he said. “It would also help Kansas farmers and agribusinesses make more accurate and profitable deci-sions in regards to crop enter-prise selection, as in making profit maximizing decisions in regards to use of farm assets.” More information about this topic and others in agricul-tural economics are available on the K-State Research and Extension Ag Manager website at www.agmanager.info. This topic will also be discussed at the upcoming KSU Risk and Profit Conference on Aug.18-19 in Manhattan, Kansas (http://www.agmanager.info/risk-and-profit-conference).

1986: WWII grenade found in deceased soldier’s belongings

August 8, 2006 With only some 13 percent of Anderson County’s regis-tered voters turning out for last Tuesday’s primary election, the big news from the election may have been that there actually was an election. The low num-ber of voters, however, turned out to be a blessing when coun-ty election workers struggled in operating new touch-screen voting machines for the first time. Working the bugs out of the machines revealed some inaccurate initial totals from Tuesday night’s official count, which were revised later in the week. The erroneous counts didn’t have a determining impact in any race. Crest School District has been making some chang-es since school let out at the end of the 2005-06 school year - primarily in new school board officials, a change in adminis-trative duties and a new high school principal. School board members voted to accept the resignation of last year’s ele-mentary principal after only one year, and voted in a new board president and a new vice president. The biggest change might be that Superintendent Doug Spillman will be reigning over the elementary grades as principal this year and Keith Higgins will take over duties as the new high school principal. A local organization formed of certified handgun instruc-tors and other enthusiasts hopes to be available in early September to provide the eight-hour training course required for those seeking permits to carry concealed weapons. The law authorizing concealed carry was passed last session by the Kansas Legislature and went into effect July 1, but per-mits won’t be issued by the state until January of next year.

August 12, 1996 Riding a trend of develop-ment in the region over the past five years, Anderson County has recorded 162 new housing construction starts since 1990 with increasing numbers in the last three years. A report last week showed 32 new res-idential construction permits granted in the City of Garnett between 1990 and 1995 at a valuation of $2.5 million, and additional city records show five permits granted since January 1996. Records from the Anderson County Appraiser’s Office show 125 more residen-tial construction projects have been undertaken in the coun-ty over the same time period. They include 40 double-wide trailer projects since 1990. The increases might be tied to movements in commercial mortgage interest rates. Anderson County voters

may have the opportunity this November to vote for the sec-ond time in a decade whether or not to allow county night spots and eateries to sell alco-holic drinks without forcing customers to join private clubs, but only if a petition tendered to the county’s election offi-cer last week is found to be viable. Known as “Liquor By the Drink,” the question will appear on the Nov. 5 general election ballot if 277 signatures on the petition are found to be legitimate.

August 11, 1986 A U.S. Army hand grenade, packed away with a soldier’s belongings since 1944 and still active, was found in an outdoor shed at a Garnett residence last week. The grenade was found by an Olathe man at his moth-er-in-law’s home. The man

was cleaning an outbuilding at the residence at 134 N. Oak when he found the explosive. A relative said the grenade belonged to Duane Graves, an Army paratrooper who died in Europe in World War II. The Army sent home a box of Graves’ personal effects short-ly after they received word of his death, and that the grenade apparently was hidden beneath other items in the box. The gre-nade was rusted and corroded but stable and still dangerous. It was picked up for disposal. Anderson County Sheriff Tom Hermreck announced plans for the formation of a county sheriff’s reserve unit to serve towns and rural areas of the county that do not have law enforcement. The move is a result of a growing problem with crime in the rural towns

and areas of the county. The plan would have one reservist from each of the areas to be served and would be paid by his respective town.

July 27, 1916 The principal business cor-ner of Kincaid was destroyed by fire Friday morning. The fire originated in a one-story brick building owned by I.N. Roe and occupied with a gro-cery and meat market. The fire quickly spread to the next door south, where Gibbs and McClasin’s big stock of mer-chandise was located, and then to the bank building on the corner. These last were both two-story buildings and in two hours were reduced to a mass of debris. The loss totals about $25,000 with about two-thirds covered by insurance.

‘Summer Spree’ means a day of cleaning artifacts Summer Spree Time! On 23July2016, I attend-ed the all day 2016 Kansas Archaeological Association (KAA) Summer Spree held at the Kansas State Historical Museum in Topeka, Ks. Twenty-one of us volun-teers donated a total of 168 volunteer hours working in the Laboratory. Our project was cleaning artifacts discov-ered during the 2016 Kansas Archaeological Training School held in Council Grove, Ks. There were two methods of cleaning that we were involved in. Dry cleaning under the direction of Chris Garst and Wet cleaning direct-ed by Mary Conrad. At 8:00am roll call was called and our instructions for the day were given. Shortly we were divided into two groups (wet room-dry room). My morning assignment was in the dry cleaning room. We each had our own cleaning stations and all the neces-sary equipment to properly dry clean iron, copper, brass, etc., artifacts. Before actual-ly starting to clean, we were shown the proper procedures to use in cleaning by our lead-er Chris Garst. At noon most of us joined up in the lounge area to eat our lunches we had brought

and had lots of conversation. At 1:00pm everyone switched rooms. This means I spent my afternoon in the Wet room. Just as in the Dry room we had our own cleaning sta-tions and all the equipment to perform wet artifact cleaning of glass, dish ware, beads, but-tons, etc. Once again before starting to wet clean our lead-er Mary Conrad demonstrated proper cleaning procedures. It seemed the day passed so quickly and we accomplished so much. I almost forgot a very important part of our day. Yes! We had two breaks during the day, 10:00am-3:00pm and during these breaks we snacked on a whole table of goodies.... Now, I’m waiting to attend the next big KAA event, the annual Fall Fling held in October.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 8-16-2016 / File Photo

A small crowd gathers around a sized-down version of a Ferris wheel at the Richmond Free Fair in August of 1986.

Roberts host of Four Winds Chapter meeting A scheduled meeting of the Four Winds Chapter of National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution convened at 1:30pm on June 23, 2016. Regent Donna Roberts presided. Regent Donna then welcomed 15 members and 12 guests, then led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America. She turned the meeting to Flag Chair Connie Becker for the program. Connie told of learning of a local family whose two of three children had been tested and diagnosed with Stargardt’s Disease, which leads to blind-ness at any given time. Connie had researched to find Braille flags for the children to have as their own. Connie then consulted with another DAR member to locate a complete set of the Books of the Bible of the Lutheran Church trans-lated to Braille. Presentation of the Braille flags and Books of the Bible to the afflicted children were made with the family and their guests in attendance along with chapter members. The Braille trans-lated Books require significant space so will be stored in a custom built bookshelf in the church where the children and their family worship. Brogan Falls expressed his thanks and amazement of the gifts and shared about his challenges and courage in dealing with this disease. He has written a book Through Ty’s Eyes and has been requested to write a sequel as stages of the disease progress. Braelyn Falls shared her thanks. Refreshments served on a beautifully dec-orated table of patriotic red, white, and blue were enjoyed by guests and members. Business meeting followed refreshments and opened with the welcoming and pinning of new members, Bridgette Brecheisen-Huss and Peggy Brecheisen. Installation of new officers for the following year was led by Juanita Kellerman. Juanita is officially the only living Charter Member of the Four Winds Chapter. Juanita then gave the oath of member-ship to officers and members. New officers are Regent, Donna Roberts; Vice Regent, Alice Walker; Chaplin, Agnes Carr; Recording Secretary, Ginger Baird; Treasurer, Louise Stites; Registrar, Connie Becker; and Historian, Carla Ewart. President General’s message was read by Linda Coffman. Judy Carr read the National Defense Report. Minutes of the previous meeting were then approved as read by Connie

Becker. Louise Stites gave Treasurer’s Report. Correspondence from Shelly Powers of Okinawa Coupon Program was read, thanking members for coupons and tes-tifying to their importance and value to those who receive them. A Postcard from the State of Kansas with new rules on limits of raffles for non prof-its was read by Louise Stites. Minute Reports were made by Peggy Brecheisen, Indian Chair; DAR Schools report by Linda Kaufman; Conservation Minute, Carla Ewart reported on the Eastern Bluebird, then drew two names from all pres-ent and presented two mem-bers with blue bird houses which she had made. Women’s issues was also presented by Carla Ewart. Unfinished Business was military coupons, Wreaths Across America Project, Fund Raiser at the Dinner Theatre on August 20, and a Winter Tea in December. New Business Donna Roberts and Connie Becker reported on the 125th Continental Congress which they had just attended in Washington DC. Donna also reported new business that she had been approached about the chapter serving the 2nd time on December 11, at the Dinner Theater as a money maker for the chapter.
