W
hat does Annie Oakley have in common
with Wamego?
The first is a footnote to history, when Buffalo Bill’s Wild West,
of which Annie was a star, set up
across the street from the Chicago World’s Columbian Exposition
in 1893, drawing record crowds
and clearing over $1 million.
The second? Annie Get Your
Gun, the Irving Berlin musical
about Annie and her romance
with sharpshooter Frank Butler, is
opening on the Columbian Theatre stage this weekend.
“It truly is something special,”
said Clint Stueve, executive director. “You’re watching this incredible musical that has connections
to the 1893 World’s Fair, and
you’re surrounded by artwork
and other artifacts that used to
sit on the actual fairgrounds. It’s
just going to be an amazing
experience for the audience.”
The show premiered on Broadway in 1946 and has had long
runs ever since, even spinning off
several revivals and a film version.
“Annie is just a fun, fun show,”
The cast of Annie Get Your Gun is in rehearsal for opening night on Friday at The Columban Theatre in Wamego.
said John Steele, director. “It’s
also full of nice surprises. When I
first started reading the script, I
kept thinking ‘I forgot that song
was in there. I know that song, I
just didn’t know it was in this
musical.’ People coming to the
show will have lots of those sorts
of surprises.”
Steele is in his first director’s
job with The Columbian, but he
appeared on the stage as Fagan
in the theatre’s last production,

PTSO reports Kansas
River rescues
The high water on the Kansas River has led to several emergency situations, according to the Pottawatomie County Sherriff’s Office.
On Saturday, May 28, the PTSO received two
reports of individuals needing assistance on the Kansas River near the St. George boat ramp.
At around 4:24 p.m., deputies were dispatched by
a report of a female being swept down river. Deputies
were told there were three people upstream stranded
in trees and one was knocked off the raft. Two subjects were transported by EMS.
At approximately 7:10 p.m., deputies were again
dispatched to the St. George boat ramp for a capsized
boat with people in the water. Most got to shore. Lt.
Chris Schmidt was able to throw a rope line and help
pull one person from the water. No one was transported by EMS.
Manhattan drug bust
nets Wamego residents
Detectives with the Riley County Police Department Special Investigations Unit made several
arrests related to the distribution of methamphetamine and illegal substances on June 2 at approximately 6:15 p.m., according to an RCPD press release.
These arrests occurred in the 100 block of Blue
Earth Plaza in Manhattan and were related to a joint
investigation with the Geary County Sheriff’s Office,

intent to distribute, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia (felony
level), unlawful use of a telecommunication device,

offenses of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, possession of a controlled substance with
intent to distribute, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia (felony
level), unlawful use of a telecommunication device,

of $20,000.00.
Also arrested on drug and weapons charges as a
result of the investigation were Cory Kuhlman, 22,

Budget worries Wab. Co Commission
M. Mickey Cobb • The Smoke Signal
It was all about the budget and the annual parade of
requestors at Monday’s Wabaunsee County Commission meeting.
The history of the county budget process in
Wabaunsee is to make the proposal public and then
receive appropriation requests at commission meetings during the month of June with July 1 as the first
day of the new fiscal year.
However, this year there is an added woeful sentiment as state budget woes get passed down the line to
county governments, while at the same time facing the
challenge of “local” mil levy caps.
“I’m of the same party and I don’t agree with all
their doin’,” Commissioner James Suber commented,
regarding the current situation in Kansas.

presented itself and I said
yes.”
He arrived with a pre-cast
show, but isn’t unhappy
about the results. “When I
got pulled in, they had
already had the auditions,”
he said. “I walked in and
they said ‘Here’s your cast.
You get to work with them,
have fun.’ But it has worked
out wonderfully.”
He is really impressed
with his two leads – Dave
Glauner as Frank Butler and
Hannah Bear, from St. Marys,
as Annie Oakley. Dave is a
student at K-State and a
newcomer to the Columbian. Hannah had a smaller
role in Oliver, but this is her
first lead.
“The chemistry between
the two is amazing,” Steele
said. “You can see it. I’m so
excited and we still have a
week-and-a-half before the
show opens.”
Steele emphasized they
have tried to keep The
Columbian’s version of Annie
Get Your Gun a family affair.
“Some stuff in there is not too
great and we cut that out,” he
said. “Bring the whole family,
bring the kids. It’s toe tapping, good hick humor fun
and we’ve even thrown in
some goofy, vaudeville
things. Come for the music,
come for the fun, I think you’ll
have a great time.”
The two sharpshooters
will go head-to-head on The
Columbian Theatre stage
starting Friday night and
running June 10-12, 17-19
and 24-26.
Friday and Saturday performances will begin at 7:30
p.m., and the Sunday matinees will start at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 adults; $15 children and students.

There continues to be flooding on the Wells Creek
Road after recent rain falls.
“I would like for you all to consider placing signage
to block the road whenever it floods,” said Thayne
Bush, road and bridge supervisor. “It was flooded
again and people drive through there, so I think a sign
is necessary.”
“Well, can you go up on that land and help clean up
what’s causing the flooding?” Commissioner Suber
asked with a chuckle. “No, that’s private property and
we cannot do anything on that land,” said Bush. Commissioner’s agreed to support the additional signage
on Wells Creek Rd.
Three Rivers’ Appropriation Request
Extension budget. “Most of what the state is proposing
to cut would effectively make cuts to people and positions,” Kara Mayer said. “Tough times,” Suber said.
Sheriff ’s Salary
The Wabaunsee County Sheriff’s position is up for
election this year and the commissioners are interested in how to set a salary for 2017 that is lower in anticipation of a new person in that position.
“If we have a new sheriff, then we have not started
people at the same level that the previous person was
at, so is it possible to do that?” asked Commissioner
Ervan Stuewe. “It is best to talk to Doug (current
sheriff) about that I think,” Liesmann said.
“Did we start Tim at the same salary as Norbert?”
Stuewe asked. “We did and it was because Norbert had
talked to you all before hand,” said Jennifer Savage,
County Clerk.

Special to The Smoke Signal
A petition to pave interior roads in subdivisions
near the U.S. 24 and Flush
Rd. intersection was
tabled Monday by Pottawatomie County Commissioners.
Fifteen residents of the
subdivisions attended a
public hearing Monday to
determine whether or not
to form a benefit district to
pay for paving of John Scott
Rd., Grantham Rd., Blue
Run Rd. and Christi Lane.
To date, about 65 percent of the 51 property
owners in the area favor
the paving, although that’s
not normally a high
enough percentage to garner commission approval.
Both Commissioners Pat
Weixelman and Stan Hartwich said a favorable rating of closer to 75 or 80
percent would be required
for their approval. Commission Chairman Dee
McKee didn’t comment on
her criteria for approval.
The paving project, proposed by residents of the
subdivisions, would
include about two miles of
roadway at a total cost of
about $750,000. As proposed, the project would
cost each landowner a
lump sum of $14,597, or
about $1,755 in additional
property taxes annually
for 10 years.
Those opposed to the
project cited the financial
burden. Those in favor
said it would improve
safety and access to and
from the subdivisions.
“That’s more than I
want to spend on a road to
drive out on,” said George
Gardner. “Gravel’s good
enough for me.”
A high percentage of
those opposed to the proj-
ect reside along Blue Run
Rd. on the eastern edge of
the area and have lived in
the area the longest.
Commissioners were
receptive to a suggestion
of eliminating Blue Run
Rd. from the proposed
paving project, increasing
the percentage of favorable responses to a benefit
district petition.
“This is the third petition in the last 10 years
and this is as far as it’s
gotten,” said one citizen,
concerned that the project
would again stall. “It’s
been put on the back
burner before.”
Commissioners said they
would do further research
and address the issue again
in the near future.
In other business:
• Gregg Webster, zoning
administrator, reported a
dramatic increase in the
number of building permits issues last month,
compared to the same
period last year.
Thirty-five building permits with a value of nearly
$7.5 million were issued
last month, compared to
18 permits with a value of
about $1.9 million issued
in May of 2015.
Of the 35 permits issued
last month, 25 were for new
dwellings, while only nine
of the 18 permits issued last
year were for new dwellings, Webster said.
• The commission
approved improvements to
Pleasant Hill Cemetery, as
proposed by Tim Eisenbarth,
noxious weed director.
Eisenbarth said Susan
Hartwich and Loring
Kufahl had offered to
donate a total of about
one-half acre of land to
square up the boundaries
of the cemetery, and Gary
Burgess has offered to
donate and erect a decorative iron fence at the
entrance.
• The commission
approved the 2015 audit

“That’s what we called

Interestingly, both recount

Morton of Reese & Novelly, CPAs.
There were no significant deficiencies cited in

the county is “doing pretty

address the equity or “fairness” of what poor/rich
school districts are taxed for
their Capital Outlay and
Local Option Budgets (LOB).
The court ruled the legislature addressed their constitutional responsibility for Capital Outlay equity, but not for
LOB equity funding.
The Supreme Court cannot offer remedies; that
responsibility is up to our
Kansas legislators. The legislators have until June 30th to
prove the constitutionality of
their plan to meet LOB equity. Whatever plan the legislators decide upon must then
be approved by the Supreme
Court as meeting this
responsibility.
Potentially, starting July
5th our schools would be
“shut down”. The shutdown
is based upon the Supreme
Court not allowing money to
be raised, distributed or
spent in an unconstitutional
system.

What can we do? Contact

- Urge all parties to keep

remaining issue.
- Give examples of what
failure to resolve this issue

We must all
obey a Kansas
Supreme Court
Order
By Darrel Stufflebeam • Superintendent
On May 17, 1954, the U.S.
Supreme Court handed
down a decision which, at
the time, was extremely
controversial. In Brown
v. Board of Education, the
Court said separate educational facilities were inherently unequal and ordered
them to be integrated.
Subsequent orders created
expensive and extremely divisive solutions like busing
and magnet schools.
Darrel Stufflebeam
Was the U.S. Supreme
Superintendent
Court overstepping its authority or attempting to ap- “People can complain
propriate money? No, it was about court decisions
not. The Court was simply all they want but no
interpreting a part of the
person or governmental
U.S. Constitution. For over
200 years, under American body has a right to defy
law, that is what courts have a lawful court order.”
done.
There is some disagreement among scholars concerning President Eisenhower’s view of the Brown decision.
It is generally believed he opposed segregation but did
not think the U.S. Supreme Court should decide the issue. Nonetheless, when it came time for him to enforce
the Brown decision, which was required by his oath of
office, he sent the 101st Airborne Division to Little Rock,
Arkansas in order to make sure nine African-American
kids could attend a previously all-white high school.
What lessons about the Brown decision can we apply
Honest & Responsible
to the Kansas Supreme Court’s recent Gannon decision?
Like the Brown decision, this Court is not overstepping
its authority or trying to appropriate money. It (simply
and correctly) said inequitable funding for poorer school
districts violates the Kansas Constitution. Since courts
don’t just give advice about their respective constitutions, ordering schools shut down until the system is
fixed is their only way to enforce the decision. It’s about
time because the case has been going on for six years!
Right now, whether or not Kansas public schools will
be open in August is the battle. Maintaining Kansas
public education and American law is the war. If we
ignore the Kansas Supreme Court and go along with any
attempt by the legislature and governor to circumvent
this lawful order, Kansas public schools will have won
the battle but lost the war.
There is no need to rehash the issues and details of the
recent Gannon decision. Both sides of the arguments
and the Court’s legal analysis are laid out nicely by the
Court’s recent opinion.
The Court’s first three sentences in the Gannon decision are absolutely true and explain the legal aspects
quite well: ‘The Kansas Constitution receives its force from
the express will of the people and serves as the supreme
and paramount law of the state. Through Article 6 of
their constitution, the people of Kansas expressly assigned
duties to the legislature that both empower and obligate it
to make suitable provision for finance of the educational
interests of the state. The supreme court has the power
and duty to review legislative enactments and to ensure
the legislature’s compliance with its duty under Article 6
of the Kansas Constitution.” Somebody needs to explain
this basic U.S. Government lesson to our state officials.
When legislatures create laws they create statutory
law. When supreme courts interpret a constitution they
create constitutional law. In the U.S.A., constitutional
law is superior to statutory law. It is that simple. People
can complain about court decisions all they want but no
person or governmental body has a right to defy a lawful
court order. To do so would be a fundamental violation
of American law.
We are in constitutionally unchartered territory. No
state has ever closed its public schools due to a court
order and no state government has ever defied a state
supreme court order. If we are to set precedent here, let
us have the courage to make it the right one.
