feels are descriptive of him, Dr. Anderson went with “optimis-tic” and “persistent”. “I believe that there is always a solution and it’s difficult for me to stop working on something once I identify it as a priority,” he said in elaborating on his choices. Away from the office, Dr. An-derson likes to “run recreation-ally” and hike trails. He also is “an avid reader,” often reading two books at the same time, one so that he can “learn something new” and the other simply to relax. Dr. Anderson and his wife, Becky, have been married for 28 years. He described her as “an outstanding physician as-sistant” and said she is “look-ing forward to working in the area.” The Andersons have a son, Matthew, and a daughter, Mag-gie. Having earned a Master of Science in Percussion Per-formance from the University of Illinois, Matthew is begin-ning doctoral work at KU in the School of Music. Maggie is a sophomore at KU, where she is enrolled in the School of Journalism. She also has a dog, Dwight, who, according to Dr. Anderson, apparently was named after the character in the television series “The Office” with the same name. The Anderson family attends St. Theresa Catholic Church in Topeka. Dr. Anderson has a sister in Lawrence and a brother in Den-ver, Colo. Another brother and his mother still live in Salina.

Perry Reservoir Fishing Report Zebra Mussels, Invasive!, upto3/4".Sincetheinfesta-tion was discovered in October 2007 these mussels have spread throughout the lake. Mussels start spawning as the water temperature rises to around 54degrees.Donotmovewaterfrom Perry Reservoir. Channel Catfish, Good, up to 10 lbs. Channel Catfish bite has been pretty slow, that or anglers haven’t been targeting them. Some fish could be found in the creek and river chan-nels. Sauger, Slow, up to 2.6 lbs.There are good numbers in the reservoir but are difficult to target. Try trolling crankbaits or lindy rigs along the dam. Casting a jig or crankbait in areas under a light may produce some fish during the night. Largemouth and Small-mouth Bass,Fair,upto5.0lbs. Lots of small 8-10 inch bass wereseenthisspring.Fishingshould be great as these fish continue to grow. Try casting crankbaits and spinner jigs near any of the newly fallen trees along the shoreline. White Bass,Fair,upto1.5lbs. White Bass can be caught using any bait resembling a shad or even from crappie jigs. Try casting around rocks or look for schools of fish breaking up the balls of shad. There are a lot of6-to9-inchfishouttherebutsomelarger14-to16-inchfishcan still be found. White Crappie, Slow to Fair,upto1.5lbs.Fishhavemoved back to deeper cover. They can be found around 8 ft. deep in 16 to 20 ft. of water. Blue Catfish,Fair,upto25lbs. We have been sampling good numbers of fish in the mid-lake area, over old channels or near drop offs. A few nice fish in the 35-inch length limit range can be caught. Many fish are below the length limit, with a few blue catfish over the 35-inch mini-mum length limit. Remember blue cats look similar to chan-nel catfish, so be careful with identification. All boat ramps are open with the exception of Devil’s Gap.

Secretary of State Scott Schwab has provided guidance to county election officials on local mask requirements ahead oftheAug.4PrimaryElection. “Our priority has been, and continues to be, ensuring every Kansan has the opportunity to exercise their right to vote in the 2020 elections,” said Schwab. “Kansas voters who choose to vote in-person will be allowed to vote, regardless of whether or not they wear a mask.” A memo from Schwab’s of-fice to county election officials states that no individual, who is otherwise qualified to vote, shall be turned away from a polling location for wearing or not wearing a mask. Schwab reminded officials that Article 5, Section 1 of the Kansas Constitution states there are only three criteria to be qualified to vote in Kansas: age, citizenship, and residence. If a properly registered voter, state law dictates the individual be allowed to cast a ballot. “Exercisingone’s funda-mental right to vote is not, and should not be, contingent upon whether or not they choose to wear a mask. Voter intimidation or suppression based on the use or non-use of a face mask will not be tolerated and is subject to litigation,” the secretary said. The Office of Secretary of

In addition, voters will be given disposable stylus pens to use on paper ballots or election machinery.
