Commissioners Pass Hospital
No Fund Warrant Resolution
by Marcus Ashlock
New Funding Will Not Raise Taxes
Editor
At the request the Hamilton
County Hospital Board of Trustees
and Carter Professional Care,
the Hamilton County Board of
Commissioners passed a resolution at their regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, May
10, to issue No Fund Warrants
in the amount not to exceed
$2.4 million. The funding will
not raise the county tax levy.
The commissioners also made
a motion to require the hospital
board to draft a resolution stating the hospital would use their
yearly tax appropriation dollars to
pay for the No Fund Warrants. In
layman’s terms, the hospital will
be getting an advance on their
yearly tax appropriations for the
budget years from 2017 to 2020,
and using each year’s dollars to
pay one-quarter of the debt instead
of using it for operating dollars.
Therefore, the issuance of the new
$2.4 million will neither increase
the current mil levy nor will it extend the current No Fund Warrant
mil levy any additional time.
“I want people to know, because there will be questions,
the No Fund Warrants are not a
tax increase, it will be repaid by
the hospital appropriation fund,”
Commissioner John Simon said.
According to hospital board
president Ron Munyan, the board
will hold a special meeting on
Friday, May 13, at noon in the east
dining room at the hospital to sign
a resolution to allow the county to
use the yearly appropriations to
pay for the No Fund Warrant debt.
The request of the No Fund
Warrants came after the management team of Carter Professional
Care (CPC) dug into the hospital’s
finances and found the situation
was worse than expected in addition to the hesitation of medical
funding by Oklahoma banks.
Additionally, Dr. Carter stressed,
under the Affordable Care Act
(ACA) of 2010, it is against
the law for a physician-owned
company to have ownership in a
hospital. While CPC could loan
money to the hospital in lieu of
No Fund Warrants, such a loan
would be considered ownership.
The commissioners discussed
the agenda item for two hours,
which included a 20-minute ex-

voted to issue the resolution this

process. Dr. Carter discussed his
company’s business plan needs
from 6 to 18-months to execute
properly before revenue begins
to kick-in, so this current situation is not delaying the inevitable.
It was expressed several times,
while the law allows a petition
for a vote to be submitted within
the sixty day period, seeing how
this new funding will not raise
any taxes, it was hoped no petition will be filed. According to
Hamilton County Clerk Angie
Moser, if a petition was filed the
vote is too late for the August ballot and would need to be placed
on the November ballot. This
timeline would definitely be too
long to wait for funding and the
hospital would close its doors.

LLG Diaper Drive a Success
During the month of April, the High School Library Leadership
Group (LLG) held a Diaper Drive to benefit the Southwest
Kansas Diaper Bank. Thanks to several generous donations,
over 340 diapers were collected of various sizes. In addition,
the diapers will be staying here in Hamilton County. When the
diapers are repackaged the drive will benefit 28 local families.
Are you aware of the consequences of diaper need? When there
is a shortage of diapers, babies spend more time in dirty diapers.
Families in need may be reusing soiled diapers. Children cannot attend daycare without a full day’s supply of diapers (8-12). Families
are cutting back on other basic needs like food, clothing, and utilities. There is an emotional toll for both the baby and the parent.
If you would like to find out more about the diaper need or the

Happenings at the Capitol
J. Russell Jennings
State Representative – 122nd Dist.
The 2016 session of the Kansas
Legislature came to an end in the
early morning hours of May 2nd.
The “Veto Session” lasted less than
one week. During that week the
legislature addressed many bills but
two of the bills that were addressed
have received the greatest amount
of attention from advocates and the
media, a tax proposal and a bill to
make adjustments to the budget.
Taxes
Once again there was an effort to close the LLC-business so
called “tax loophole”. The proposal
sought to restore taxes on small
businesses, sole proprietorships and
pass through income from business
ventures. The proposal that was
presented would have provided $60
million in state revenue for the state
budget year that begins on July 1st
and approximately $200 million for
each year thereafter. The proposal
received 44 votes. 63 votes are
required in order for a bill to pass
the House. The proposal was put
into a conference committee report
for consideration with only three
members of the House and three
members of the Senate having any
input on the content. Normally, bills
are passed through a committee and
come to the floor for debate and
possible amendment. The normal
process allows for members to offer
amendments and for a robust debate.
Time and time again leadership has
attempted to ram through legislation with no opportunity for debate
or amendment. This bill failed to
provide adequate revenue to meet
the revenue needs of the state and
failed to meet other inequities in
our tax structure. Our current tax
structure is wildly out of balance and
protects the highest income earners
from paying their fair share. It will
be important to consider business
taxes as a part of a comprehensive
tax package going forward but this
proposal was nothing more than an
election year ploy that had no possibility of passing the senate or gaining the approval of the governor.
Our state, schools and economy
are facing very real challenges.
These challenges require real revenue reform from the legislature.
The Governor’s 2012 tax reform
bill eliminated most business taxes
and provided significant reductions
to personal income tax rates for
the wealthy. Since then individual
deductions for mortgage interest
expense were reduced by 50%,
medical expenses were entirely removed as a deduction from income
and sales taxes were increased to
the extent that Kansas has one of
the highest tax rates in the nation
on food purchases. All of these
tax issues place a significant additional tax burden on seniors and
our families. These all need to be
considered as a part of a comprehensive tax reform plan. The plan
that was offered simply kicks the can
down the road, leaving our state to
face the same financial crisis next
year and for many years to follow.
Make no mistake: this proposal
had nothing to do with stabilizing
the state budget. It had everything
to do with election year political
stunts by those who do not wish
to have a serious discussion about
needs of the state and only wish to
create the illusion of solving our
revenue problem. I did not support
this bill. I believe it is imperative
to have a serious discussion about
our current tax structure and make
adjustments that can rebalance our
taxes to assure tax fairness and also
provide an adequate revenue stream
to meet the needs in supporting education, public safety and highways
of the state. I fully expect this debate
will occur during the 2017 session.
Budget
During the 2015 session a two
year budget was adopted to provide
for funding education and state
government operations. Inadequate
revenues to the state resulted in
the need for budget adjustments
this year. The Governor offered
three options that included further
transfers for the state highway fund,
sale of the proceeds from a tobacco
settlement agreement that funds
early childhood programs, cuts to
higher education and public education as well as other state agency
budget cuts and extended the date
for repayment of delayed KPERS
contribution by the state. If no budget adjustment was passed I am sure
the Governor would have delivered
on a cut to public education. The
final proposal for balancing the
budget protects K-12 education
from any budget cuts, protects early
childhood programs by not granting
the governor authority to sell future

to catch him in a moral trap. In
the end it was the saints, not the
sinners, who arrested Jesus.”
It is this old preacher’s belief that the church must once
again become a family of “Jesus
Freaks.” Every person who enters into our church buildings
need to feel total acceptance and
unconditional love and grace.

grow, it will bring glory to God
and be a positive witness to the
community to whom it ministers. Let’s really restore the
church – not just talk about it.

Opinions and editorials
Ramblings and Ruminations
In Step with the Editor
I have friends in the media
business who write columns on
a weekly or bi-weekly basis. One
uses music to set the mood if a
particular type of article is humorous and another type of music if it will be serious. I have others who write before the deadline
and then one or two, who like
me, are more deadline-driven.
Mostly, I spend the weekend scouring the headlines
and websites of the happenings in our country and abroad
looking for subjects that incite
me to write. I found one this
morning and I hope it bothers you as much as it did me.
Syracuse and Hamilton
County may have a few needy
families, those who have
fallen on hard times and get
food from the Food Pantry or
some of the church programs.
One thing we do not have is
beggars and people panning
for money from pedestrians.
Like most around this area
of the country, I was not born
in a metropolitan area and I
did not grow up with street
beggars. I have been to places
like Chicago, Nashville, Tenn.,
Washington, D.C. and even
London, England, and have been
asked if I can spare some change.
Once, I was walking with
a group of people in Chicago
and one mode of getting money
there is to “sell” people these local street newspapers. They sell
them for your pocket change.
The person I was with said to
give the guy whatever was in my
BAXTER
BLACK
pocket, I did and it was probably
about $1.50. This obviously was
not enough and I got a nasty stare
from the guy and I gave in and
tossed another $1 into the mix.
It is charity and it is also best
not to care what they do with
the money after parting with it.
The story I found on the
Internet was a video news piece
about a guy in Lexington, Ky.,
who was fraudulently scamming the public as he panhandled for money. The news researchers did truthfully discern
he was in a wheelchair from
an accident when he was a
kid. So, at least he was not lying about that part of his act.
The man did admit his mother
sued Honda of America and
won $2.4 million dollars form
the accident he was in, but
the money had run out. He
was out begging for change
by Marcus Ashlock
Editor
and money from passers-by.
The part of his act the news
reporters were exposing was
his speech impediment and
broken syntax to gain sympathy by acting like he also had
a mental disorder or injury, or
some type of mental dysfunction. Video clips of the guy
showed him speaking in some
broken language and slurring
words to appear simple-minded.
Once he knew the reporters
were on to him, he laughed and
spoke in an untrammeled and
unimpeded voice. He said he
was glad they caught onto his
act and he bragged about how
good he was at the ruse. He
went on to make a claim that he

How to Replace Vital Documents that are Lost or Stolen
Dear Savvy Senior,
Can you tell me how to go about replacing important lost
documents? My wife and I recently downsized to a retirement
community, and somewhere in the move we lost our Social Security
and Medicare cards, birth certificates, marriage license and passports.
Worried Ron
The Story of Little Chip
BAXTER BLACK
saw the video it did make me
feel like not giving people like
this my time or money. While
I do not give money to beggars on a regular basis, it still
made my blood boil somewhat.
I suppose desperate times
make men desperate. People will
do things they may have thought
themselves incapable of doing if
the circumstances are dire. People
steal and embezzle everyday.
While it is not a problem
in small-town America, like
Syracuse, I would rather give my
money to some guy down on his
luck than to the fat cats on Wall
Street who steal with impunity.
Then again, $60,000 per year
does not meet my standards
of being down on one’s luck.

On the Edge of Common Sense
Most of us, rural or urban can get attached to an animal. Our barn cat
Jay Jay has a special place in my mind. Somebody dumped a litter of
kittens on the church grounds. I took three of the little tomcats. We got
them situated and when the time came I castrated them in the tack room.
Within six months only one was left. The others had been victims
of coyotes or other predators that fly, crawl, slither or pounce. Jay Jay
staked his claim and learned to move around the corrals and outbuildings “up high”. He travels from the shop to the tack room on the rock
walls, pole fence, shed roofs, cross beams, feeders and hay stacks.
During his reign our leather tack has remained free of pack rat damage.
As a lad I had many dogs, cats and horses that still remain in my
mind. Our neighbors weren’t farmers but they, too, had a string of
pets, real and unreal. Young Ty expanded on his herd by adding
turtles, gerbils, canaries, fish, reptiles and an invisible pet named
Chip. The family didn’t have any photos of Chip but he became
a real part of the family. And it was fun for all of them to pretend.
“ H o w ’s C h i p t h i s m o r n i n g ? ” t h e y w o u l d a s k Ty,
five years old at the time, “Did he eat his breakfast?”
Ty would solemnly recite how Chip was feeling, i.e., …he slept okay but
the dogs’barking woke him up. And he doesn’t want Grape Nuts ‘cause they
stick in his teeth, he wants to go for a walk and see the crawdads in the ditch…”
It was humorous and touching how Ty took care of Chip and the
family played along. But his invisible pet began to complicate things.
When they drove to town, Chip had to have his own baby seat, complete
with seat belts. Taking Chip into the restaurant required a high chair.
The family began to worry that Ty’s little invisible friend would eventually divert his embryonic cerebrum to
the point where the human instincts meld into virtual reality. Is
he dreaming when he’s awake or dreaming when he’s asleep?
There came a point when they began to take it seriously. It
happened when Dad walked across the wood floor, slipped and
fell on his elbow! Ty started scolding Chip while simultaneously rubbing the floor with a paper towel. “Sawy Dad,” he
said, “I’m twaining him but he dint make it to da poddy. Sawy.”
On that fateful day they had taken the family to the carnival at the
county fair. Chip went with them, of course. He played the games, ate
the cotton candy and looked at the exhibits, with Ty explaining to Chip as
they walked along. Finally Dad said it was time to go. Well, Chip threw
a fit! He didn’t want to go…No, No, No! Mother tried coaxing Chip. He
finally agreed to go if he just could take one more ride on the Big Tea Cup.
OK. Afterward they loaded in the car and headed home. As they hit the
tarmac Ty suddenly cried, “We left Chip on the ride!” Dad glanced out
the window and said, “There he is!” With that he swerved sharply. All
the passengers were slammed to the driver’s side! “Got him,” said Dad.
The car straightened out and continued down the road. Nobody said a word.
It was the last time Ty ever mentioned Chip. That evening Mom
commented to Dad that the lesson was maybe a little too harsh. Then
she asked him what he would have done if Ty had raised a ruckus?
“Oh,” answered Dad, ever the wise and practical man, “I would have
said, “I missed him!” and gone back to retrieve the invisible Chip.

makes anywhere from $60,000
to $100,000 per year at his panhandling with the speech impediment added to the act. The Texas
man said he also had a degree
in speech language pathology
and has combined his education
with his wheelchair begging and
it pays off across the country.
I have never begged on the
street. I have been down on my
luck before, but I have never
been homeless or wondered
from where my next meal was

Dear Ron,
Replacing important documents that are lost, stolen or damaged is pretty
easy if you know where to turn. Here are the replacement resources for each
document you mentioned, along with some tips to protect you from identity
theft, which can happen if your documents end up in the wrong hands.
Birth certificate: If you were born in the United States, contact the
vital records office in the state where you were born (see cdc.gov/nchs/
w2w.htm for contact information). This office will give you specific
instructions on what you need to do to order a certified copy and
what it will cost you. Birth certificate fees range between $9 and $30.
Social Security card: You can replace a lost or stolen Social Security card
for free, and if you live in the District of Columbia, Michigan, Nebraska,
Washington or Wisconsin, you can do it online at ssa.gov/ssnumber.
If, however, you live outside these areas, you’ll need to fill out
Form SS-5 (see ssa.gov/forms/ss-5.pdf to print a copy) and take
it in or mail it to your nearby Social Security office, along with
your U.S. driver’s license, or a state-issued non-driver ID card or a
U.S. passport (photocopies are not accepted). Any documents you
mail in will be returned to you. To find the Social Security office
that serves your area, call 800-772-1213 or see ssa.gov/locator.
You also need to be aware that losing your Social Security card
puts you at risk for identity theft. If you find that someone uses your
Social Security number to obtain credit, loans, telephone accounts, or
other goods and services, report it immediately to the Federal Trade
Commission at IdentityTheft.gov (or 877-438-4338). This site will
also give you specific steps you’ll need to take to handle this problem.
Medicare card: To replace your Medicare card for free, just
call Social Security 800-772-1213 or contact your local Social
Security office. You can also request one online at ssa.gov/
myaccount. Your card will arrive in the mail in about 30 days.
By losing your Medicare card, you also need to watch out
for Medicare fraud. So check your Medicare Summary Notice
for services you did not receive and, if you spot any, call the
Inspector General’s fraud hotline at 800-447-8477 to report them.
Marriage certificate: Contact your state’s vital records office to order
a copy (see cdc.gov/nchs/w2w.htm). You’ll need to provide your full
names for you and your spouse, the date of your wedding, and the city
or town where the wedding was performed. Fees range from $10 to $30.
Note: Divorce certificates can also be ordered from your state’s
vital records office (fees range from $5 to $30), and divorce
decree documents can be obtained from the county clerk’s
office for the city or county in which the divorce was granted.
Passport: A lost passport also puts you at risk for identity theft, so
you need to report this as soon as possible to the U.S. State Department.
Go to travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/passports/lost-stolen.html
and fill out Form DS-64. You’ll receive an e-mail acknowledging
that your report was received. Within a couple of days, you’ll receive
another e-mail (or letter, if you request that option) confirming that your
passport has been entered into the Consular Lost or Stolen Database.
You can apply for a replacement passport at a Passport Application
Acceptance Facility. Many post offices, public libraries and local government
offices serve as such facilities. You can search for the nearest authorized
facility at iafdb.travel.state.gov. The fee for a replacement passport is $135.

County Commissioners Meet
Commissioner Puckett called
the May 3, 2016 meeting of the
Hamilton County Commissioners
to order at 8:30 a.m. with all
Commissioners present. After a
motion and a second the Agenda
was adopted as presented. The
Minutes of the April 19, 2016
were approved as presented
after a motion and a second.
PUBLIC CONCERNS: None.
Attorney Gale joined
the meeting at 8:33 a.m.
Next, Mr. Rich Lynam, Road
Foreman, gave his monthly update to the Commissioners as
follows: 1) The crew is blading
roads and putting up the new road
signs; 2) Discussed the patching
of paved roads. Will need close
to five loads of hot mix to patch
holes before B & H Paving does
the chip and seal; 3) Mr. Lynam
informed he needed to hire part
time seasonal help to do the mowing. It was decided to hire two
seasonal staff and have one of
the road crew run the third mower
when time permits; 4) Discussed
making the field road beginning
at the corner of Road 31 & Road
U south to Road 35 passable.
The current field road is not on
the section line and has wheat
planted on both sides. Road 33
on the south end of the field road
is an open County Road that is
an alternative route for farmers to
use to access their ground. This
will be discussed further with
the surrounding land owners/tenants; 5) Discussed having Foley
Equipment mechanic vs. Road
Department mechanic service the
two road graders the County owns.
Next was Huber Sand. Mitch
Huber with Huber Sand discussed
back filling the pond on the
County’s property by the river
with clean wash sand and asked
for some kind of contract in writing to release Huber Sand from
any liability. The County Clerk
will check with the County’s
liability insurance company
(KCAMP) regarding any liability
associated with Huber Sand on
this issue. Also, Commissioner
April 2016 Recorded
Deeds
Lewis will check with the local
game warden on regulations of
removing the fish from the pond.
Next, Mark Hinde with
Southwest Developmental
Services, Inc. discussed the
services available to Hamilton
County through SDSI, Inc. and
presented his organization’s
request for a 2017 appropri-
ation to the Commissioners.
Next, Jill Reagle with Russell
Child Development Center
presented the Commissioners
her organization’s request for
a 2017 appropriation. RCDC
provided services to 154 children
in Hamilton County last year.

Impact is for Real!
By Daryl Buchholz
In these times of uncertainty
with respect to the support we
should anticipate from Kansas
legislature and the taxpayers
of this state, I had the pleasure of attending a retirement
seminar of one of our faculty
as he characterized what had
happened in his career through
the advances of the work with
colleagues, students, and staff.
While he didn’t characterize the sum total of the impact
of his work, it gave me total
confidence in the information
we provided to the Kansas
legislature back in January
2016 when they asked for
the collective benefit of the
work of K-State Research
and Extension. And, I remind
you that the response to the
legislature document can be
found at our advocacy and
government relations website
with KSRE. Following are a
couple paragraphs out of that
document that I believe to be
accurate, if not conservative,
with respect to the true longterm impact of the work we
do across K-State Research
and Extension in the inter-

by Jenifer Sexson
County Extension Director
est of the people of Kansas:
In FY 2015, the Kansas
legislature invested $46.8
million to provide foundational funding for Kansas
State University’s Agricultural
Experiment Station and
Cooperative Extension
Service. That investment, along
with additional funds from
competitive grants, contracts
and other extramural sources,
local governments and federal
agencies, main campus, and
other revenue sources, resulted
in a total budget of $165.9
million or a 254% increase.
Studies for Kansas have
shown a long-term benefitcost ratio of 33.6:1 for agricultural research, yielding a
10.2 percent average annual
rate of return to agricultural
productivity that can be directly correlated with in-state
investment and a total long
term benefit of $5.5 billion
to the state of Kansas (The
Economic Returns to U.S.

make any payment. The budget
now includes a method for retiring
at least part of the debt incurred
sooner than later. While there is
plenty to dislike about the budget
adjustment proposal, I voted for
the bill in order to protect public
education funding and early childhood programs. Assuring a funding
stream for repayment of the delayed
KPERS contribution was also an
important factor that I took into
consideration. The Governor will
have to make reductions in expenditures and seek efficiencies in order
to address any remaining shortfalls.

Wheat
a de-watering place, which has
been permitted and approved
by KDHE. Mr. Fullmer advised he does not believe there
is any danger of ground water
contamination and explained
the de-watering is usually done
a couple times a year with the
water dissipating within 72 hours.
Discussed concerns of the dewatering causing nitrates to contaminate the aquifer used for the
City’s drinking water. and options
of de-watering to the east in order
to decrease the risk of contaminating the aquifer. The Fullmers
asked if the Commissioners
would be willing to sign a right
of way permit for the de-watering, but the Commissioners
informed that the County cannot
sign a right of way permit since
there is record that only 500
feet of the road is an open road.
Next, Mr. Hanson, EMS
Director, discussed purchasing
a tablet based computer system to enable the EMS crew to
use in the ambulances to complete their run reports while on
the actual ambulance run. The
equipment would cost around
$3,300.00 to $4,400.00 as well
as an initial software purchase
in the amount of $2,300.00 and
an approximate $600.00 annual
maintenance cost. Mr. Hanson
is attending a meeting next week
regarding the software and will
report back to the Commission.
Following that, Ms. Mitchell,
Noxious Weed Director, informed the Commissioners that
the County has some Banvel
that was purchased two years
ago at a higher price than what
it can currently be purchased for.
The Commissioners gave Ms.
Mitchell permission to sell the
Banvel closer to the current price.
5-YEAR PLAN:
The
5-year plan was reviewed.
Use of the new landfill pit has
been permitted by KDHE.
ROAD PROJECT LIST: The
Road Project List was reviewed.
Next, Commissioner Lewis informed that he and Commissioner
Simon met with the Sunflower
Square residents and the VIP
personnel. Commissioner Lewis
also presented drafts of a Bid
Specification sheet for Operation
and Management of Sunflower
Square, a Schedule of Services,
and weekly/quarterly cleaning checklists for review. It
was decided to have a July 1,
2016 as a target date for the
County to take over operation
and management of Sunflower
Square. A bid request for the
operation and management will
be published in the near future.
Next, after review and discussion, a motion was made
to approve the Warrants in
the amount of $116,695.24.
Motion was seconded and it
was unanimously approved.
COMMISSIONER
REPORT:
None.
EXECUTIVE SESSION: None.
As there was no more business to come before the meeting, a motion was made for
adjournment. Motion was
seconded and the meeting
was adjourned at 11:40 a.m.
