Blue Rapids City Budget Will
Increase Water And Mill Rate
By Jon A. Brake
The Budget Committee of the
Blue Rapids City Council met
with Chad Parker of Sink,
Gillmore & Gordon LLP to talk
about the 2010 City Budget.
It was pointed out that no one
wants to raise taxes but the City
cash balance was down and not
getting better. The committee
agreed they would recommend a
2 mill increase for 2010. They
also will be looking at raising the
minimum amount residents pay
for water from $15 to $20.
The unencumbered cash in
2008 was $95,401, in 2009 the
City started with $147,022 but
they think the figure will be back
to $98,211for the 2010 year. In
most years that would by a good
figure to start but next year the
Water Reservoir project will start
and they will need extra cash.
The City has a $230,000 grant
John Schwartz (center) President of the bank talks with Lee
Bigham about the construction.
State Bank Of Blue Rapids
To Get A New Ceiling
There is a lot of interest at
the Blue Rapids State Bank.
Mike Bailey, owner of
Bailey
Construction
of
Frankfort spent sometime last
Sunday removing the ceiling.
The bank had a problem
with one of the light fixtures
and decided to replace all of
the electrical work. Next the
electrician will rewire the
front and then Bailey will
come back to put in the new
ceiling.
But what a find. In removing the ceiling the ceiling joist
were exposed and the wonderful construction work of long
ago is apparent.
The ceiling joists are made
of complete two inch by
twelve inch lumber. That is
something you do not see
today.
The building was built in
1870 and opened in 1871. The
contractor was J.L. Freeland
and D. Fairbanks. The bank
was owned by Carlos E.
Olmstead, his nephew H.B.
Olmstead and J.S. Freeland.
According to the Blue Rapids
Centennial book of 1970
Carlos Olmstead “made a fortune in the flour milling business in New York State and as
the head of a brokerage firm in
Chicago that dealt in grain,
flour and feeds on commission.” Carlos was said to be
worth a quarter of a million
dollars.
“In addition to becoming the
head of the banking firm, he
built the first mill at the dam,
in later years erected the
Masonic Building, the Public
Library and at his own personal expense installed the water
system works.”
for the water project but will need
to get a loan of $230,000 from the
Kansas Department of Health and
Environment to make the project
work. Payments will not kick in
until the 2011 Budget.
The Committee also talked
about taking money from the
Sewer System Reserve Fund to
lower the amount they need from
KDHE. This would lower the
payments over the next 10 years.
The mill levy has been at
72.581 but the new figure will be
74.581. This can be changed
when the full Council votes on
the Budget in August. After the
Budget is published in August the
amount will be set.
In 2008 the City of Blue Rapids
spent $924,255. In 2009 they feel
the amount will be around
$801,902. The new Budget will
call for spending authority of
about $1,300,000. At the end of
the year they will spend a little
more than last year but they will
also have more cash for 2011.
The new items the Committee
was looking at to purchase in
2010 are:
1. $4,000 for the Clerk’s office
for a new computer.
2. A new dump truck for Street
Department costing $30,000. The
Council will need to look at funding the truck by lease-purchase
over about three or four years.
3. The Police Department
wants a Patrol Rifle for
$1,780.00; 2 Glock sidearms at
$308.00; 2 Kenwood portable
radios for $1,000; and new software for Court management at
$1,247.50.
The Sewer Department wants
to clean the ductile iron pipe for
$6,000.
Waterville Mill Rate The Same
But Watch The Electric Bill
By Jon A. Brake
The Waterville City Council
held a 2010 Budget meeting
Monday afternoon.
If you live in Waterville your
mill rate will stay the same as last
year. That means that if the
County Appraiser did not
increase your valuation your
taxes will be the same.
The 2009 Levy was 60.654 and
in 2010 it will be 60.487, just a
tad lower.
But, one of the problems with
the 2010 Budget for the
Councilmen is the cost of electricity. The City of Waterville
purchases electricity from the
Nemaha-Marshall Electric Co-op
of Axtell and then they sell the
electricity to the residents.
Waterville has received word
from NEMAR that their contract
may be going up by 25%.
NEMAR purchases the electricity
from Westar and they have not
concluded the process to raise
rates.
The Council members were
told by their accountant Chad
Parker of Sink, Gillmore &
Gordon LLP that they will need
to monitor the Lights Fund if the
increase comes through.
The Lights Fund has been having expenditures of around
$500,000 a year. The Council
budget shows $800,638 for 2010
but that is a little misleading
because the $800,000 includes
$235,288
in
savings
or
“Unencumbered Cash” to start
the year. The Council must put
that into the budget in case they
need to spend more next year.
In the past they have been running $145,000 to $240,000
unspent monies in the account.
Another fund that Parker told
the Council to watch is the Water
Utility Fund. The Water Fund has
been bringing in $564,000 to
$597,000. That is the money the
residents of Waterville pays the
City for water. Expenditures have
been running from $504,000 to
$569,000 a year. They are keeping about $240,000 in saving
from one year to the next.
Parker told the Council that a
Rural Water Report showed
Waterville’s $8.50 for the minimum users was the lowest in the
area and may need to be
increased.
The
preliminary
Budget
Summary shows the 2010 Net
Expenditures to be $1,934,418
but again $500,000 to $600,000
will not be spent and transferred
over to the 2011 Budget. But if
something major were to come
along they have the spending
authority and the money in the
budget to take care of it.
City Debt is at $40,635. The
City has leased-purchased three
items in the past and they will be
ending in 2010 and 2011.
The items leased were a street
sweeper in 2006, a JD Wheel
Loader in 2007 and a GMC
Pickup in 2008. Half of the debt
will be paid off in 2010 and the
rest in 2011.

Kansas Wheat Report
This is day 15 of the Kansas
Wheat Harvest Reports, brought
to you by the Kansas City Board
of Trade, DeBruce Grain, the
Kansas Grain & Feed Association
and Kansas Wheat.
It appears that Kansas wheat
farmers have saved the best
wheat for last during the 2009
wheat harvest. Some northwest
Kansas farmers are enjoying the
best wheat of their farming
careers with yields in excess of
90, even 100 bushels per acre.
At the St. Francis Mercantile
Equity Exchange, test weights
and yields are unbelievable in the
second big day of harvest.
Although many farmers are
thrilled with 100-bushel-per-acre
wheat, other areas of Cheyenne
County were severely damaged
by hail, preventing some producers from enjoying what could
have been a banner harvest.
Brian Linin, a Kansas Wheat
Commissioner from Goodland,
says harvest in Sherman County
is probably only 30% complete,
but with excellent harvest weather forecasted, the 2009 harvest
will be wrapped up by July 15.
Test weights and yields are excellent, but the all-important protein
level is below average, he reports.
KAWG Director Richard
Kvasnicka, Winona, finished cutting Wednesday afternoon. This
was a better than average harvest
for Kvasnicka, with good yields
and test weights but protein levels
below normal. Much of Logan
County is wrapping up harvest.

Things You Should Know
Alice In Medical Care
By Thomas Sowell
JewishWorldReview.com
Most political and media discussions of medical care have an
air of unreality reminiscent of
Alice in Wonderland. There is an
abundance of catch-phrases but
remarkably few coherent arguments.
Let's start at square one. Why is
there alarm about American medical care? The most usual reason
given is because its cost is high
and rising.
That is certainly true. We were
not spending nearly as much on
high-tech medical procedures in
the past because there were not
nearly as many of them, and we
were not spending anything at all
on some of the new pharmaceutical drugs because they didn't
exist.
This general pattern is not
peculiar to medical care. Cars
didn't cost nearly as much in the
past, when they didn't have airconditioning, power steering and
high-tech safety features. Homes
were cheaper when they were
smaller, had fewer bathrooms and
lacked such conveniences as
built-in microwave ovens.
We would like to have all these
things without the rising costs
that come with them. But only
with medical care is such wishful
thinking taken seriously, with
government regarded as a sort of
fairy godmother who will give us
the benefits without the costs.
A cynic is said to be someone
who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. If
so, then it is political cynicism to
point to other countries that spend
less on medical care, including
some countries where there is
"universal health care" provided
"free" by their governments.
Just as medical care, houses
and cars were all cheaper when
they lacked things that they have
today, so medical care in other
countries is cheaper when they
lack many things that are more
readily available in the United
States.
There are more than four times
as many Magnetic Resonance
Imaging units (MRIs) per capita
in the United States as in Britain
or Canada, where there are government-run medical systems.
There are more than twice as
many CT scanners per capita in
the United States as in Canada
and more than four times as many
per capita as in Britain.
Is it surprising that such things
cost money?
The cost of developing a new
pharmaceutical drug is now about
a billion dollars. Neither political
rhetoric nor government bureaucracies will make those costs go
away.
We can, of course, refuse to pay
these and other medical costs, just
as we can refuse to buy air-conditioned homes with built-in
microwave ovens. But that just
means we pay attention only to
prices and not to the value of
what we get for those prices.
We can even refuse to pay for
so many doctors. But that just
means that we will have to wait
longer to see a doctor — as people do in countries with government-run medical systems.
In Canada, 27 percent of the
people who have surgery wait
four months or more. In Britain,
38 percent wait that long. But
only 5 percent of Americans wait
that long for surgery.
Surgery may well cost less in
countries with government-run
medical systems — if you count
only the money cost, and not the
time the patients have to endure
the ailments that require surgery,
or the fact that some conditions
become worse, or even fatal,
while waiting.
A recent report from the Fraser
Institute in Canada shows that
patients there wait an average of
ten weeks to get an MRI, just to
find out what is wrong with them.
A lot of bad things can happen in
10 weeks, ranging from suffering
to death.
Politicians may talk about
"bringing down the cost of medical care," but they seldom even
attempt to bring down the costs.
What they bring down is the price
— which is to say, they refuse to
pay the costs.
Anybody can refuse to pay any
cost. But don't be surprised if you
get less when you pay less. None
of this is rocket science. But it
does require us to stop and think
before jumping on a bandwagon.
The great haste with which the
latest government expansion into
medical care is being rushed
through Congress suggests that
the politicians don't want us to
stop and think. That makes sense,
from their point of view, but not
from ours.
Attorney General Six Goes After Mortgage Fraud And Scams
Attorney General Steve Six is
taking legal action to stop those
who are preying on Kansans facing
foreclosure or other financial difficulties. Today Six launched
Operation Homestead by filing five
law suits, extending help to
Countrywide customers, and
increasing educational resources
available to consumers.
The lawsuits are aimed at businesses the attorney general alleges
are defrauding Kansans by running
redemption rights and loan modification scams. In several of the
cases, the consumers lost their
homes and ended up much worse
financially than they were before.
Six said the lawsuits send a strong
message that his office will not tolerate mortgage fraud in Kansas.
“During these tough economic
times when more Kansans face
foreclosure, unscrupulous people
are trying to take advantage of
homeowners under the guise of
offering assistance,” Six said.
“With these lawsuits, we are working to stop the exploitation of
Kansas homeowners already in difficult financial situations.”
Two of the defendants operate
“Redemption Rights Scam,” Six
said. The companies buy a homeowner’s redemption rights, lease
the house back to the homeowner,
and then when the homeowner
can’t afford to buy the house back
they sells the house for a profit of
more than $20,000. The companies
Apple Asset, LLC, in Overland
Park, and Rush Properties, LLC, in
Olathe.
Three defendants allegedly operate loan modification scams, Six
said. The companies offer to negotiate modifications to the homeowner’s mortgage for a sizable fee.
However, the extent of the service
that the company provides is to
mail in documents on behalf of the
consumer. The companies are
Kirkland Young in Florida, ABS
Saveco in Georgia, and Helping
Hands Support Services in
California.
As part of Operation Homestead,
the Attorney General’s Office will
also be assisting consumers with
certain Countrywide mortgages. A
letter will be sent to those consumers identified as eligible to participate in the settlement. Once
consumers respond to the letter,
cash payments will be sent. The
payments will be calculated based
on the number of consumers who
respond.
“I’m pleased to help these consumers directly who were taken
advantage of by subprime loans
and other deceptive mortgage
schemes,” Six said.
Also as part of the new effort,
Six is adding significant resources
to www.ksag.org to educate consumers about their rights in foreclosure. In the new Mortgage Fraud
section of the website, consumers
can find information about redemption rights, the foreclosure timeline,
prevention tips and more.
“Foreclosure can be a lengthy
and difficult process for homeowners. It can be confusing and intimidating to talk with lenders and
financial institutions, especially if
one does not know their rights and
options,” Six said. “It is important
for Kansans to learn their rights and
ask questions before it’s too late.”
Six said consumers - especially if
they are already facing financial
difficulties - should be extremely
cautious when dealing with individuals or companies they are unfamiliar with in regard to home-
financing issues:
• Beware of anyone who asks
you for a deed to your home in
exchange for fixing your mortgage
problem;
• Be leery of any company that
urges you to go ahead and sign confusing or unfavorable loan papers
on the premise that you can always
refinance later. This is a common
tactic that usually traps consumers
in undesirable loans which they
cannot refinance;
• Remember that it is illegal to
require you to pay a fee in advance
in order to obtain a loan;
• Ask questions about any fees
that appear in paperwork that you
don’t understand or didn’t agree to
pay;
• Take your time to read the fine
print. Don’t let anyone pressure
you into signing quickly; and
• If someone attempts to lure you
into one of these scams, or if you
have questions about certain practices, contact the Attorney
General’s Office online at
www.ksag.org or by calling the
Consumer Protection Division at
1(800) 432-2310.
