Local community members have a vision to build a major sports complex with amenities for youth teams and events. But Manhattan is trying to do the same. On Tuesday, The Geary County Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) Committee received an update on the sports complex idea, which included a discussion of a similar project in Manhattan. In May, the CVB committee approved spending money for officials f r o m Sports Facilities Advisory (SFA) to visit the area to o f f e r advice for the complex idea. CVB Assistant Director Rick Dykstra said several conference calls have occurred between the committee and SFA. The committee also is working on a survey to submit to key stake holders as well. Were moving very slowly, patiently and carefully, Dykstra said Tuesday. Dykstra said Manhattan officials are working with SFA with hopes to also build a sports complex. CVB Vice Chair Ben Bennett and Dykstra said Manhattans action may result in the communities collaborating through the Flint Hills Regional Council on a complex. The council is a voluntary service association of local governments from Clay, Dickinson, Geary, Morris, Riley, Pottawatomie and Wabaunsee counties. Please see Complex, 8A

Geary County Sheriffs Department deputies were unable to stop an unidentified motorcycle during a high-speed chase Tuesday afternoon on US-77, marking the second time thats happened in as many months. Due to safety concerns, deputies, Kansas Highway Patrol (KHP) troopers and other state agencies had to cut off the chase, which started near US-77 milepost 150 and ended near milepost 162.

deputies attempted to pull over the motorcycle at about 4:25 p.m., resulting in the chase. Maj. Barb Smith of the Sheriffs Department said the motorcycle was fleeing law enforcement vehicles at speeds of more than 100 mph. The initial report released Wednesday did not include a description of the motorcycle. No other details were released. Deputies werent able to record any license plate information, Smith said. The department still is investigating the incident. Smith said it was not known as
of yet whether the motorcycle involved in Tuesdays pursuit was the same that on June 3 led department deputies and KHP troopers on a chase. In that incident, a white crotch rocket reportedly was speeding on Interstate 70, exited onto US-77 and headed northbound. Both the KHP and Sheriffs Department had to disengage from the chase because the motorcycle was traveling too fast. The motorcycle may have been heading to Fort Riley, according to police scanner reports. No arrests have been made in that case.

Residents on McFarland Road win battle against city sewer service

ments portion of the meeting, Debra Johnston, who lives on McFarland Road, handed the commission copies of a petition signed by her and nine of the other property owners that stated they highly object to any sewer expansion that mandates our homes be connected at our expense. On top of an increase in property taxes from the assessments, many of the homeowners would have to pay anywhere from $12,000 to $15,000 to connect. Johnston told the commission members they wouldnt be doing their jobs if they forced those costs onto homeowners. You all work for us, she said. You dont work for city staff. However, as Planning and Zoning Director David Yearout pointed out, the city would have been within its legal rights to establish a wastewater special improvement district that would have divided the cost by assessing against the properties within the district. Were following statutes that have been on the books for over 100 years, he said. Most of the home owners on that stretch of McFarland Road already have private sewer systems. The area was annexed by the city a couple years ago. Please see Sewer, 8A

Abilene fabric business a worldwide venture Chapman

Reflector-Chronicle
ABILENE It started as an extension of a hobby, but quickly grew into an online business with customers from all corners of the world. Marilyn Thurlow, owner of Picture This Plus, has a world map on the wall of her shop at the corner of Third and Broadway. Starshaped stickers cover such faraway places as Australia, Japan, Ukraine, Spain, Italy, Finland, Singapore, and Brunei marking locations where she has shipped her hand-dyed cross stitch fabrics. She hadnt entertained thoughts about a fabric dying business until one day, in 2002, she met someone who had one, and a few weeks later learned that person was trying to sell it. That got her thinking and dreaming. Unfortunately, before she and her business partner Shari Strauss could buy it, someone else did; but the seed was planted. She and Strauss, who has since retired and sold her portion of the business to Thurlow, decided to check into starting a similar business from scratch and add hand-dyed fabrics to their existing cross stitch and framing business. A visit with K-State professors in the textile department set them on the right track. The following year they took their first handdyed fabrics to a trade show.
We didnt have expectations or goals just that people would buy it. At three years all of a sudden we started getting orders.
Marilyn Thurlow
We didnt have expectations or goals just that people would buy it, she said. At three years all of a sudden we started getting orders. Once the orders started rolling in, they didnt stop, soon Thurlow learned that designers were using her fabrics, and Picture This Plus was being named in major cross stitch magazines across the country. Every pattern in a cross stitch magazine has that includes where the fabric can be purchased. Thurlow said the slow start was because many wholesalers and designers were leery about using fabric from a new company. We had to prove we were going to stay, she said. People dont realize how hard and expensive it can be. This (business) is extremely labor intensive, extremely low tech, and extremely precise. By 2006 they had proved their worth to the industry, and business started picking up.
It really started rolling in the last two years, she said. Once a year they have a 24-hour online sale, the last one netted 305 orders that ended up taking seven weeks to fill. They also sell to wholesale shops including some of the most well known in the industry, like Stony Creek, which released its new Halloween design on their Picture This Plus fabric. They have 117 colors that they make and add about five new colors a year. When deciding on new colors, Thurlow will experiment with a few, making light and dark samples of each color, then decide what will be that years new colors. Some are accidents, she admitted. Each one has a formula and a technique that is followed precisely every time. I have to be able to get the same thing every time. As her customers will pay as much as $118 a yard for her unique hand-dyed fabrics, quality control is her top priority. We send it out as quick as we can make it, she said. It amazes me that it continues to do so well. I keep thinking that at some point people will have all the fabric they want. It doesnt look as though that is going to happen anytime soon, as long as people keep stitching, Picture This Plus will continue to move yards of specialty fabric out to the basement of their 100-plus year old building in the heart of Abilenes downtown.
deals with Fourth debris
B y C hase Jordan
CHAPMAN Police Chief Thomas James and city officials are working to crackdown on debris from fireworks. If youre going to do it fine, but clean up your mess, James said. During a July 10 Chapman City Council meeting, James discussed creating a policy to make residents more responsible for their fireworks. James said he wants to charge violators in the future. The council and Mayor Philip Weishaar agreed with Thomas on the issue. Weishaar said fireworks have become larger and more explosive, compared to the past. He said residents should inform their neighbors if they plan to ignite fireworks. There was also a brief remark about banning fireworks altogether. A few bad eggs are going to end up ruining it for everybody, Weishaar said.
City workers cant carry guns into Chapman buildings

B y C hase J ordan
CHAPMAN A new law allows people to carry weapons into Chapmans public facilities, but city employees are not allowed to do the same. Kansas House Bill 2052, which went into effect July 1, allows people with conceal-and-carry permits to carry guns into buildings
such as the courthouse and county offices, if there are no metal detectors or security guards at entrances. Chapman City Council members approved an amendment to employee handbook which prohibits the carrying of conceal weapons while on the job. The amendment does not apply to law enforcement. In order to stop people from bringing weapons inside, city officials would
have to install metal detectors and have guards monitor them. Many municipalities filed for an exemption to prepare a security plan. City Attorney Doug Thompson said there are several reasons for the decision to stop employees from having weapons, which includes concerns from insurance companies. They think its a greater liability for an acciden-
tal discharge and either a coworker being injured, Thompson said. The insurance industry is pretty much pushing that point. He continued and said the flip side is whats going to happen if there was an incident and the employees were not in a position to defend themselves. The insurance has weighed whats going to be the greater risk and the
they believe the greater risk is the accidental discharge, Thompson said. City officials did not receive feedback from employees on the matter. The topic was previously discussed during a June meeting. City officials and council members discussed the cost of security upgrades, which is unaffordable for the municipality.
High school artists unveil skate park mural

B y T iffany Roney
Reflector-Chronicle
ABILENE After a semester and a half of persistent painting layering color up to six on some portions of the artwork a mural by Abilene High School students made its debut for the community at Abilene Skate Park last week. Its amazing, I think, that everybody got it pulled together, Shelby Nelson, AHS senior, said. All that hard work was put to good use. After installing the mural at the skate park, Denise Blehm, director of Arts Council of Dickinson County, began to wipe down the panels with a roll of paper towels to make them clean and shiny for the unveil-
ing. As she spruced up the mural, a skater called her out. One of the young men out here skating yelled from the other side of the park, Hey, Blehm said. I didnt realize he was speaking to me I thought he was yelling to one of the kids. And he came zipping across on his skateboard, and he goes, what are you doing? and I said, Im just cleaning the dirt. He goes, oh. he thought I was cleaning the paint off, like that it was graffiti. And its like, no, sweeties, Im just cleaning the dirt off, because it was really messy. And hes like, oh, Im sorry I didnt mean to be so rude, and I said, Youre fine; Im just thrilled that you like it, and youre taking ownership in it.
Last year, Toni Britt, art teacher at AHS, asked a couple of student skateboarders if they were interested in a project. Of course they were, so they came up with some design ideas, and they got real excited about it, Brit said. And then when we realized it was 64 feet, we needed some help, and so I got Dani Otten. I handed her a little skinny piece of paper and I said, Could you draw something on this? and 20 minutes later, we had the design, Britt said. Shes amazing. Since then, Otten has illustrated a childrens book, Cha-Cha, which is available at Rivendell Bookstore and the Abilene Public Library. Ward Otten, Danis father, said
she has been an artist as long as she has been alive. Shes been drawing since she was a baby, Ward said. She was talking and walking at a very young age. She had that artistic ability. Weve always just let her have free range of it. We never held her back, never took it away from her, punished her for it or anything. Shes always inspired. Dani, a student of the gifted program, said she decided quickly what sort of design to create. Mrs. Britt told me to make it look like stuff for a skate park, so I was assuming just mostly bold designs, not too complicated, just simple stuff, Dani said. I tried to make it look skate park-y. Karl Weissenbach, Abilene resi-
dent, said the final result lives up to that expectation. I think its great, Weissenbach said. Its very colorful. Itll be protected from vandalism and so forth theyll take ownership. Community involvement Weissenbach said the mural speaks not only to skateboarders but to the Abilene community as a whole. It shows the community does offer a variety of options for kids youve got the swimming pool. Youve got the community center, youve got the different sports going on here so having this just builds upon we already have in the community, Weissenbach said.

Native of Kenya, soldier dedicated to running, Army

FORT RILEY For some, running is a hobby to keep in shape. For others, its an escape. For Spc. Mathew Chesang, running is a way of life. When you are out there, you just run and communicate with nature, you just have fun, Chesang said. A native of Kenya, Chesang is a distance runner. And while his fellow soldiers agree he could devote his time in the Army solely to running, he instead turned his focus to the greater good. Just like logging miles upon miles running on the road, Chesang puts that same hard work and dedication into being a crew chief of the OH-58 Delta Romeo helicopters and making sure U.S Army aircraft remains safe and effective. You will get better Chesang was born and raised in Eldama Ravine, Kenya. After playing field hockey and soccer, Chesang started getting serious about running in 1998. Chesangs brother had a major influence on his running career. When we started running, I wasnt very good, Chesang said. My brother kept telling me, you will get better and told me to keep training harder. Chesangs brothers influence, paired with his dedication, earned him a scholarship to run at Kansas State University in 2001. While at Kansas State University, Chesang studied business management and was named an AllAmerican cross country runner. After graduation, Chesang worked in customer care for Garmin in the Kansas City metro area. He then joined the U.S. Army in March 2012. Chesang turned to the Army for the diverse and

Everything is free and open to the public. School supplies will be available while they last.
Spc. Mathew Chesang, 1st Squadron, 6th Cavalry Regiment, Combat Aviation Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, crosses the finish line first during the Big Red Ones Victory Week 10-Miler on June 12 at Fort Riley. The division hosts Victory Week each year to celebrate its and the Armys birthday. The Victory Week 10-Miler drew more than 300 runners, and was a qualifying event for the upcoming Army 10-Miler in Washington, D.C.
promising job opportunities. I wanted to have a career and the Army has good careers, Chesang said. Motivated on, off the track Chesang is a 15 Sierra, or crew chief, on OH-58 Delta Romeo helicopters. Sgt. John Culqui was impressed with what Chesang brought to the 1st Squadron, 6th Cavalry Regiment, Combat Aviation Brigade. He is a hard worker; he is learning at a good pace. He is motivated and very respectful with his NCOs and comrades, Culqui said. Chesang brought something special to the CAB motivation. A lot of the guys are trying to do the same thing (distance running), Culqui said. He has actually motivated a lot of the Soldiers. Personally, I want to do the same thing like him. I want to run as fast as he does. He actually motivates everyone in the troop. When asked if he could ever beat Chesang in a race, Culqui laughed. Of course, yes, Culqui joked. He is the fastest one in the troop, Culqui added. He will beat everyone. I see a lot of good stuff in the future for him, Culqui said. As a runner, if he keeps doing whatever he is doing right now, he will be one of the fastest in the country. Professionally, if keeps doing what hes doing right now, he can be a great mechanic and a great NCO. He is going to get promoted sometime in the future. Chief Warrant Officer 2 Nathan Smith, 1st Sqdn., 6th Cav. Regt., and Chesang ran against each other in college. Now the two work together in the CAB. I raced him when I was running for Missouri, Smith said of his time in college. Hes continued to run, Ive continued to get slower. Being a long distance runner, Smith can relate to Chesangs work ethic. Pretty common to distance runners is having that hard work, Smith said. Theyre a little bit crazy, very stubborn in work ethic. They put in hours a day in their running, and that carries over into their lifestyle and that type of effort and motivation is what he puts into the aircraft and into other aspects of the Army. Im happy he is ours.
Valuation error not so gloomy

B y C hase Jordan
After receiving gloomy news about valuation numbers, Geary County Commissioners are happy to know it was a mistake. On July 8, valuation numbers were released to the commission and while the amounts were correct, the method in which they were compared was not. The grand total valuation was compared to the tax incremental value, thereby resulting in a calculation showing a decrease in both real estate and overall valuation. It comes up that we have a slight edge in the valuations and not a decrease, said County Commission Chair Ben Bennett. Thats good news. The correct grand total real estate value increased by more than $2 million. In July 2012, the total was more than $203 million and $205 million in 2013. Overall valuations, which include personal property and state assessed utilities increased more than $2.2 million. In 2012, the amount was more than $227 million and $230,137,380 in 2013. Geary County Clerk Rebecca Bossemeyer said the budget worksheets that were mailed to the various taxing authorities were sent out correctly. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and encourage anyone with additional questions to contact me at (785) 238-3912, Bossemeyer stated in a news release.

He went home to be with the Lord July 12, 2013. Gilbert accepted Christ at a very young age and became an ordained deacon in The Church of God at the age of 16. He was a man of wisdom and great faith remaining active in the service of the Lord until his demise. Gilbert was the eldest deacon in the New Church of the Living God. Gilbert graduated from Junction City, High School in 1950. After graduation he became one of the first black carpenters in the Civil Service Carpenters Union at Fort Riley. Gilberts love for God was evident in his service to his local and national church association. He held the position of Deacon, Trustee, Sunday School Teacher and Superintendent for more than 60 years. Gilbert was the assistant campground manager, trustee and president for many years for the Interstate Association of the Church of God, Topeka, Kansas. Gilbert, a Master Carpenter was the contractor for building the Multipurpose building on the Interstate Campground in Topeka in the mid 1980s.

Heat blankets much of US as summer sizzles

NEW YORK Weather forecasters warned of potentially dangerous temperatures from Minnesota to Massachusetts on Wednesday, as the nations largest heat wave of the summer stretched out and stagnated, with relief in many places still days away. Most states in the U.S. were expected to have some areas where the temperature would hit 90 degrees or more, according to the National Weather Service. Humid air just made it all feel worse, with heat indexes in some places over 100. Parts of 19 states were under weather advisories. In New York City, where it was 95 degrees, sidewalk food vendor Ahmad Qayumi said that by 11 a.m., the cramped space inside his steel-walled cart got so hot, he had to turn off his grill and coffee machine. It was just too hot. I couldnt breathe, he said, turning away a customer who asked for a hamburger. Just cold drinks, he said. Amid the heat, officials in Washington D.C.s Maryland suburbs worked to keep a failing water main from cutting off hundreds of thousands of people, just when they needed it most. People in Prince Georges County were asked not to run their faucets, water their lawns or flush toilets to keep the water system from emptying during emergency repairs. Firefighters in southern California faced brutally hot but dangerously dry conditions as they battled a wildfire outside Palm Springs. Temperatures could go as high as 105 and humidity could go as low as 1 percent by the afternoon, said Tina Rose, a spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The fire has already consumed seven homes. At the World Trade Center reconstruction site in New York City, workers building a rail hub dripped under their hardhats, thick gloves and heavy-duty boots. Some wore towels around their necks to wipe away the sweat. Were drinking a lot of water, down under by the tracks, in and out of the sun all day very hot, said carpenter Elizabeth Fontanez, of the Bronx, who labored with 20 pounds of tools and safety equipment strapped to her waist. Since the heat wave began, she said she has been changing shirts several times during her shifts. Officials blamed hot weather for at least one death. A 78-year-old Alzheimers patient died of heat
Senate working through nominees, despite grumbling

WASHINGTON The Senate gave preliminary approval Wednesday to the latest of President Barack Obamas seven stalled nominees as a bipartisan pact over his picks to run federal agencies seemed to be holding, though Republican grumbling was mounting. Senators voted 82-18 on Wednesday to clear the way for confirmation of Fred Hochberg to serve a second four-year term as head of the Export-Import Bank, which provides financing for U.S. exporters. We have now started a new era, I hope, a new normal here in the Senate of increased bipartisan cooperation, said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. But a day after the agreement allowing votes on Obamas nominees was largely hailed by both parties, conservatives and other Republicans were bristling over one of the selections Thomas Perez, Obamas pick to lead the Labor Department. Republicans say that Perez, a top Justice Department official, mishandled a whistle-blower case against the city of St. Paul, Minn., and that he and Justice have ignored a House subpoena for his personal emails related to that case. What Im saying to my Republican colleagues is, I dont care what deal you cut, said Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. How could you possibly agree to move forward on a nomination when the nominee refuses to comply with a congressional subpoena? Why would you want somebody in the Cabinet thumbing their noses at the elected representatives of the people of this country, said Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, one of the chambers senior Republicans. Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., said Perez and the Justice Department had responded to all reasonable requests from Congress for information and said, Hes a professional, he listens and tries to make the right judgment. Despite the GOP criticism, it was not clear that the bipartisan agreement was in peril. In that deal, Republicans agreed to help Democrats get the 60 votes needed to end filibusters pro-
longed procedural delays against the seven nominees. It was possible that GOP opponents of Perez could vote to end the delays against Perez but then oppose his nomination, which would not violate the deal. One of the bipartisan deals chief architects, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said he would vote to end delays against Perezs nomination but added, I think its in some trouble, but I dont know how much.
Packs of young people cause chaos in Hollywood

Packs of young people rampaged through Hollywood, knocked down people and stole cellphones and other items before a police sweep halted the marauding and arrested a dozen people, police said Wednesday. Calls began coming in at around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday that youths possibly organized through social media were robbing people and stealing T-shirts and other goods from businesses, mainly on Hollywood Boulevard, Lt. Ray Valois said. Fifteen to 20 young men and women were attacking victims and taking property, he said. Some people may have been knocked down or punched. However, no serious injuries were reported. As many as 40 people may have been involved, splitting into smaller groups and reforming as they looted people nearby, Valois said. Surveillance video aired on
television showed youths roaming along the famed Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Police Department had redeployed numerous officers to the citys Crenshaw District after violence broke out the previous night during protests of the George Zimmerman acquittal in Florida. Cmdr. Andrew Smith said it was believed the youths took advantage of that and decided that this would be a good night to come up to Hollywood and act a little crazy. Several people told journalists that they were surrounded by groups of youths that forced them to hand over cellphones, a watch and other items. I was filming celebrities coming out and all of a sudden I was approached by this group of people and one got my phone, Lori Aceves told KNBC-TV. And all I know is this lady next to me I have no idea who she was but she grabbed me by the arm and she tucked me in and she moved me to a different store. Her iPhone and other stolen items were later found in a backpack, the station said.
Dead stars colliding forged gold on Earth

LOS ANGELES A strange glow in space has provided fresh evidence that all the gold on Earth was forged from ancient collisions of dead stars, researchers reported Wednesday. Astronomers have long known that fusion reactions in the cores of stars create lighter elements
such as carbon and oxygen, but such reactions cant produce heavier elements like gold. Instead, it was long thought that gold was created in a type of stellar explosion known as a supernova. But that doesnt fully explain the amount of the precious metal in the solar system. About a decade ago, a team from Europe using supercomputers suggested that gold, platinum and other heavy metals could be formed when two exotic stars neutron stars crash and merge. Neutron stars are essentially stellar relics collapsed cores of massive stars. Now telescopes have detected such an explosion, and the observation bolsters the notion that gold in our jewelry was made in such rare and violent collisions long before the birth of the solar system about 4 1/2 billion years ago. People walk around with a little tiny piece of the universe, said lead researcher Edo Berger of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. NASAs Swift telescope last month observed a gamma-ray burst that resulted from the crash of dead stars. The burst, in a distant galaxy, was some 3.9 billion light-years away. Each light-year is about 6 trillion miles. The burst lasted only a fraction of a second. Using ground telescopes and the Hubble Space Telescope, Bergers team noticed an odd glow that lasted for days. Infrared light in the glow could be evidence that heavy elements like gold had spewed out of the cosmic crash, the researchers said. The new work, which will appear in a future issue of Astro-
physical Journal Letters, suggests gold was produced in a similar fashion in the Milky Way. It doesnt delve into how Earth was sprinkled with riches, but previous studies have suggested that a meteor shower may have delivered gold and other precious metals to the planet. If the new studys interpretation is correct, this would be truly very exciting news, said Stockholm University astrophysicist Stephan Rosswog, who led the earlier supercomputing effort but didnt have a role in the latest study.
Colorado town considers drone hunting licenses

DEER TRAIL, Colo. The next potential target for hunters in one Colorado town might be flying above the birds. Town leaders in Deer Trail are considering an ordinance that would create aerial drone hunting licenses and offer bounties to anyone who shoots one down. They acknowledge theyve never seen a drone on the Eastern Plains but want to make a statement that using unmanned surveillance planes to spy on Americans is wrong. They say the ordinance is mostly symbolic and recognize its against the law to destroy federal property. According to KMGH-TV, the licenses would cost $25 a year and offer a $100 reward to anyone who provides identifiable pieces of a drone.

he refusal of a state regulatory board to accept Secretary of State Kris Kobachs proposed fix for 12,000 state residents further points out the clunkiness of the law passed in 2011. That law requires proof of citizenship before residents are allowed to register to vote. Kobach proposed allowing those residents who have not yet provided proof to cast provisional ballots in upcoming special elections, but they would have had to provide proof before the election was certified. As state Sen. Vicki Schmidt, R-Topeka, and a member of the state regulatory board that oversees election rules said, Kobachs proposal would have left those voters thinking their ballot was going to count without further action, which would not have been the case. Part of the problem is that the state still hasnt gotten its new computer system up and running, which is supposed to provide verification to local election officials. So when people go to register to vote, or change their address or name, if they dont bring in proof of citizenship then their registration is essentially held in abeyance. The bottom line is most folks going to register to vote are not going to bring in their birth certificate or passport, because they have not been required to do so in the past. We view that as an unnecessary obstacle that isnt doing anything to stop voter fraud a largely nonexistent problem in the first place. But as a result, there are 12,000 Kansas citizens who likely will not be able to vote in upcoming special elections unless something changes quickly. As we have written before, this state should be doing everything it can to encourage people to register to vote, and to show up at the polls. The state has failed by not implementing as promised a seamless computer system by which local offices could quickly verify citizenship by checking drivers license information, for example. As one League of Women Voter official put it, this is more evidence the citizenship registration law should be rolled back, that the state is putting up a barrier to voting that does not need to be there. We couldnt agree more.
Food innovation is progress

B y John S chlageck

eems like not a day goes by without a media story on our countrys food supply. Some folks have concluded that the best plate may be an empty plate. How else are they going to avoid killer popcorn, monster tomatoes, drug-treated cattle, radioactive chicken or toenail hotdogs? Some would argue we do not need GMOs. Others would say keep all antibiotics out of livestock. A few would even argue we have too much food and this is what has led to this this nations obesity problem. If you are overwhelmed by news reports that question the safety of your food, youre not alone. What can we do? To begin with, exercise common sense. Overconsumption and obesity are indeed health hazards, but generally speaking food scientists do not believe specific foods are health villains.
Most of us depend on advanced agricultural practices and food technology to give us an abundant, safe, reliable and affordable food supply. As the worlds population continues to increase, U.S. farmers and ranchers need to continue to find new ways to produce more food, more efficiently. Much of the world continues to face food shortages that our country can address. Why shouldnt we have access to delicious fruits and vegetables all year round, especially when the increased intake of such food items has been scientifically proven to be healthy and reduce the risk of disease? Technology critics have been around since the first caveman rounded off the square edges of a stone block and chiseled out the first wheel. People fought the coming of steam locomotives and buggy makers cried out against the coming of the Model T. Food irradiation and bioengineered foods can be summarized in one word progress. Food safety has always been an emo-
tional issue. Reactions to some of these food scares confirm the old adage that a rumor can travel half way around the world before the truth pulls on its boots. Too often today, most news translates to bad news. The prospect of sensationalism is often irresistible and easier than digging a bit deeper and finding the truth. If more scientists stepped forward to correct this misinformation we would all be better off. Until that occurs, be wary of food scares. On the other hand, dont forget to eat and drink from our food supply brought to you by this nations farmers and ranchers. It remains the safest, best tasting in the world.

Why U.S. should continue to keep hand in Afghanistan

The following editorial appeared in the Chicago Tribune on Monday, July 15:
t has just come to my attention that county and city have approved spending $70,000 to establish a long term comprehensive plan for JC. Allow me to save the city and county $70,000. These kinds of studies are generally just a way of putting off major decisions and then when they dont work, we can blame the study. Here is my comprehensive plan. No charge, on the house ... common sense costs nothing. Stop spending on so called quality of life items. There is no free lunch. Get people, now living off the city, off our payroll, everyone and everything must be cost effective. Pay down our debt. Get off our dependence on Fort Riley such as opening a casino. Take advantage and move heaven and earth to assist any new business wanting to start up in JC which includes not holding them hostage to foolish zoning laws. After all, JC is not Times Square NYC Where changes in the codes are needed, make them without delay or talking them to death. We could of course ask the graduates of our many leadership conferences for their advice and finally get our moneys worth out of those conferences, wouldnt that be a nice change? We are not Topeka, we are not Salina, we are not Manhattan. We are a small military town with ideas of grandeur way beyond our means and unfortunately dependent on a military post whos troop strength can change in a minute. In fact it already has. While we are at it, lets get rid of the egos, enough is enough. If you have to justify your job, that job should not exist. The time has come to get real in this town. In the end when it all falls apart because of poor government management at every level, it is always the minorities, the elderly, the poor that pay the real price. When are we going to learn this? I dont have exact figures but JC, with only 24,000 residents, owes more than $150 million. Per capita that may be one of, if not the highest per capita debt of any municipality in the U.S. Good work Junction City?
resident Hamid Karzais erratic behavior has President Barack Obama considering a complete withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan after 2014. The frustration with Karzai is understandable. Last month, peace talks between the U.S. and the Taliban collapsed before they even started. Karzai accused the U.S of trying to negotiate a separate peace with the Taliban and their enablers in Pakistan, leaving his government vulnerable to its foes. In retaliation, Karzai cut off negotiations with the U.S. over a security agreement that will govern American military forces after 2014. And so, the White House signaled through a New York Times story, the so-called zero option is gaining traction. The U.S. recently turned over complete security control to Afghanistan forces and has a timetable for withdrawal of troops by the end of 2014. The expectation is that the U.S. would keep a modest force of 3,000 to 9,000 troops
after that, focused on anti-terror operations and support for Afghan security forces. Afghanistan will need international assistance to keep the Taliban at bay and deny a safe haven to al-Qaida. But the U.S. wont be willing to risk an extended presence if it doesnt have an agreement with Afghanistan that legally protects U.S. soldiers. Without that agreement, the U.S. military will have to leave the country. Thats what happened in Iraq in 2011. Iraqi lawmakers refused to provide U.S. troops with legal protection from Iraqi courts. American soldiers would have been vulnerable to arrest and punishment under Iraqi laws. The U.S. wouldnt take that risk in Iraq, nor should it in Afghanistan. Most likely, Obama has floated the zero option as a reminder (read: threat) to Karzai that he has an option: Embrace an international security presence beyond 2014 or watch his government fall to the Taliban. Karzai shouldnt require such reminders. Just hours after the peace talks collapsed in Qatar, Taliban fighters launched a high-profile assault on the presidential place in Kabul. Yes, Karzai has a flair for the dra-
matic. He once threatened to join the Taliban himself. But he also has shown and instinct for survival. Hell come around to a troop agreement. After so many years of fighting, its easy to lose sight of just how much life has improved in Afghanistan. The country has undergone such extraordinary change since 9/11 that a return to the dark period of the Taliban is unfathomable, Saad Mohseni, chairman of MOBY Group, Afghanistans largest media group, wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed. One snapshot: There are more than 8 million children in Afghanistans schools now, including 2.6 million girls. In 2001, under Taliban rule, there were 900,000 boys and virtually no girls in school. The U.S. and its allies have pledged to spend billions of dollars after 2014 to continue building Afghanistans security forces. In a 2012 NATO summit in Chicago, world leaders declared that Afghanistan will not stand alone after 2014. More precisely, Afghanistan will not stand if it is alone.

began searching rooms. Police discovered evidence of the firecrackers shortly before the boy and his mother came inside the front entrance. The two then explained what had happened. Apparently, the boy was using electrical tape to connect several Black Cat firecrackers. He then tried to melt the tape and accidentally lit one of the fuses. When management didnt respond to the noise, the two and another juvenile decided to leave their first-floor room via a sliding door, leaving the main door locked. Police had to force their way into the room. It was not yet clear Wednesday afternoon whether criminal charges would be pressed as a result of the damage.

Tenants get first look at poststandoff damage

WICHITA Some Wichita apartment dwellers are getting their first look at the damage caused last week when their neighbor became engaged in a 32-hour standoff with police before being killed in a shootout. Justin Zoucha lives under the two units of the complex where police fired tear gas and a water cannon last Thursday in an attempt to get Jared Woosypiti to come out. The Wichita Eagle reports mold has grown on the walls of Zouchas living room and the smell is almost unbearable. Zoucha says almost all of his belongings were ruined, but he doesnt have renters insurance and isnt sure the city will pitch in to help. The standoff began July 10, shortly after Woosypiti fired multiple rounds inside a Wichita Kmart while trying to rob the pharmacy.

HAYS Railroad officials say a train derailment in Hays occurred when a freight train hit a standing train, causing a fire but no serious injuries. Union Pacific Railroad spokesman Mark Davis said all three crew members of the Salina-to-Denver freight train escaped injuries. The second train was unoccupied when it was hit about 1:25 a.m. Tuesday. The Hays Daily News reports three locomotives and 79 cars were part of the westbound train, which was carrying low-grade ethanol and general freight such as steel, wheat, beer and particle board. The 20 tankers carrying low-grade ethanol did not derail. Officials say fuel from two of the three locomotives was on fire. About 15 to 20 people who lived near the accident site were evacuated as a precaution.

City representatives to attend AUSA meeting

Junction City Mayor Cecil Aska and Commissioner Mike Ryan will join several city staff members in attending this years Association of the United States Army Annual Meeting and Exposition. The meeting will take place Oct. 21 to Oct. 23 in Washington, DC. While some Junction City residents have voiced their disapproval of spending money to send representatives to the meeting, interim City Manager Cheryl Beatty said attending is beneficial in many ways. Weve come back with some good results over the past few years and well work to continue that record, she said during Tuesdays city commission meeting. At the AUSA meeting, representatives from Junction City will meet with Kansas senators, representatives and other government officials to lobby for the citys needs. One recent benefit Beatty listed was the grant the Junction City Fire Department will receive to help fund most of the cost of a new aerial ladder truck.
House votes to delay parts of health care law

B y D onna C assata
Associated Press
WASHINGTON House Republicans voted on Wednesday to delay core provisions of President Barack Obamas health care law, emboldened by the administrations concession that requiring companies to provide coverage for their workers next year may be too complicated. After a day of heated rhetoric, the House voted largely along party lines, 264-161, to delay by one year the socalled employer mandate of the Affordable Care Act. It voted 251-174 to extend a similar grace period to virtually all Americans who will be required to obtain coverage beginning Jan. 1, the linchpin of the law. The dual political-show votes marked the 38th time the GOP majority has tried to eliminate, defund or scale back the unpopular law since Republicans took control of the House in January 2011. The House legislation stands no chance in the Democratic-run Senate. The goal of the health care law is to provide coverage to nearly 50 million Americans without health insurance and lower skyrocketing costs. But in the three years since Obama signed his signature law, the public remains highly skeptical and the administrations abrupt decision earlier this month to delay the employer provision only fueled more doubts. Republican foes welcomed it as a political gift, not only to assail Obama but to arrange votes that put House Democrats on record ahead of next years congressional elections. This administration cannot make its own law work, said Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, during House debate. Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said the decision was a clear signal that even the administration doesnt believe the country is ready to sustain the painful economic impact this law will have.
City domestic battery and sexual offenses laws tweaked

Junction City Commissioners on Tuesday approved changes to the citys ordinances on domestic battery and sexual offenses. According to city prosecutor Krista Blaisdell, the adjustments highlight the seriousness of domestic battery in Junction City and bring the local ordinances on sexual offenses more in line with the state. Under the previous local law, domestic battery was punished as a subcategory of battery. Domestic battery now will be a separate offense, making it easier to designate when reporting to the state, Blaisdell said. This change would put a stronger emphasis on recognizing domestic batterys detrimental effect on the community, according to Blaisdell. For sexual offenses, certain crimes committed in the city now will be charged as felonies rather than misdemeanors. Other adjustments to the sexual offense ordinances include terminology changes, such as now referring to prostitution as the sale of sexual relations.
Acoustic Junction Guitar Night returns to C.L. Hoover Opera House.

The free concert series is scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday. Organizer Bob Cervera said the event allows participants to enjoy an evening of music from regional musicians. Theres usually a pretty good crowd, Cervera said. Its a free family event and good entertainment. People need to come out and support it. More than 50 people usually attend Acoustic Junction. Cervera said a variety of music is usually played at the event. Some of the genres include country, folk, and classic rock. We try to keep it fresh, Cervera said about scheduling new performers. The Opera House is located at 135 W. Seventh St.
Eager to counter the Republican criticism, Obama plans to deliver remarks Thursday focusing on rebates that consumers are already receiving from insurance companies under the health care law. White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama will draw attention to the 8.5 million consumers who have received an average consumer rebate of about $100. Carney also highlighted reports that some states are already anticipating lower premiums under the Affordable Care Act. Competition and transparency in the marketplaces, plus the hard effort by those committed to making the law work, are leading to affordable, new and better choices for families, Carney said. The House vote delaying the employer requirement codified the administrations decision, but the White House insisted it was unnecessary and issued a tough veto threat. Democrats dismissed the entire GOP effort as just another fruitless attack on a law that has been upheld by the Supreme Court. Well, here we go again. Another repeal vote, another political side show, said Rep. Sander Levin, D-Mich. Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said it was nothing more than a waste of time as the health care issue has been settled in Congress, the courts and in last years presidential election when Obama won a second term. In a series of unconventional political arguments, Republicans faulted Obama, who taught courses in constitutional law, of selectively enforcing the law. They accused a Democratic president of siding with business while ignoring the needs of average Americans. Lets provide the same relief to American families that Obamas promised to big business, said Rep. Todd Young, R-Ind. Republicans also read aloud the complaints of union leaders about the unintended consequences of the law
on workers hours, with companies scaling back work time to avoid providing health coverage. They gleefully cited labors statement that it voted for Democrats and expected them to address the problem. The unions International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union and UNITE-HERE wrote to Democratic leaders last week that the laws requirements have created an incentive for employers to limit workers hours. The law created a new definition of full-time workers, those putting in 30 hours or more. Time is running out: Congress wrote this law; we voted for you. We have a problem; you need to fix it. The unintended consequences of the ACA (Affordable Care Act) are severe. Perverse incentives are already creating nightmare scenarios, the union leaders wrote. House Democrats argued that the criticisms ignore the immediate advantages of the law, millions of young people who are able to remain on their parents health care until age 26, preventives services and the millions of Americans who will have access to affordable care. After each Republican spoke during House debate, Democrats described the specific benefits of the law in the GOP lawmakers district. Under the health law, companies with 50 or more workers must provide affordable coverage to their full-time employees or risk a series of escalating tax penalties if just one worker ends up getting government-subsidized insurance. Originally, that requirement was supposed to take effect Jan. 1. It will now be delayed to 2015. The administration said businesses had raised concerns about the complexity of the requirements and pressed for more time for implementation. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 95 percent of employers with 50 or more workers already offer health benefits.

citys fire reserves for the 2014 budget due to major future expenses facing the fire department. Already down two of its trucks because of mechanical issues and planning to use a grant to fund most of the purchase of a new aerial ladder truck, the fire department is looking at close to $2 million in new engines. The recently-awarded FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant will cover $760,000 of that total, but the city is required to match at least $84,444 for the aerial truck. When any new engines will be purchased is not yet clear. Interim City Manager Cheryl Beatty has budgeted funds in 2014s fire reserve to plan for when the major purchases must be made. This is why you do long-term capital purchase planning, Beatty said during a recent City Commission budget work session.

Junction City firefighters at station one may have to sweat it out during the dog days of summer, but they should have two new heating and air conditioning units by late August or early September. The Junction City Commission this week approved spending $37,750 to replace the problematic, 20-year-old units currently at the station, which is located at 700 N. Jefferson St. Interim Fire Chief Rick Rook on Tuesday told commissioners one of the units has completely broken down. The other is having issues, too. Currently, we are limping along on one of the 20-year-old units and operating off a mobile unit thats been loaned to us, he said. United Heating, Cooling and Plumb-
ing will install the HVAC units and replace all of the stations duct work, which currently has a mold issue, according to city staff. The units will serve the stations upstairs living quarters. The only other bid submitted to the city was about $9,0000 more than Uniteds bid. I reviewed both bids that came in and its my recommendation that we go forward with the lowest bid, Rook said. The work is not a budgeted expense, which means the cost will be taken from the citys general fund budget reserve at the end of the fiscal year. Things happen, Vice Mayor Pat Landes said. The HVAC units add to what could be an expensive trend for the fire department. City staff has proposed devoting $341,000 or almost two mills to the

We dont have the money right now to get into this, Commissioner Jim Sands said. At its next meeting, the commission is expected to decline the plat of the new development because it was accepted by the MPC on the condition it would have city sewer service. I think that the MPC needs to re-look at this, Landes said.

At that time, several property owners requests to connect to city sewer service were denied. Vice Mayor Pat Landes, who was sitting in for an absent Mayor Cecil Aska, said he recently learned its common for residents of an annexed area to petition cities to install services that arent available when their properties are brought into city limits. This situations different, he
said. In this case, theres no one asking for anything, Landes said. Were talking about something that really nobody wants. The discussion was spurred by the proposed development on McFarland Road. The city sewer mains would have been extended out to those properties. Last year, the developer, David Alexander, requested to put in sewer systems for his properties. That request was denied by the Metropolitan Planning and Zoning Commission (MPC).
Yearout said extending the sewer mains and setting the special improvement district was the most cost efficient, the city would have been repaid and it was the cheapest option for the homeowners who would have faced special assessments. This is the least expensive as far as to provide a public sewer system, he said. Earlier this month, city commissioners directed staff to prepare the documents required to establish a benefit district for a sanitary sewer extension along
McFarland Road. But on Tuesday, commissioners no longer were in favor of seeing the project move forward. Commissioner Mick McCallister said he spent many hours talking to the homeowners on McFarland Road, who he said felt oppressed by the city. I certainly dont want to force anybody into something they dont want, McCallister said. To pay for the up-front cost of the project, the city would have issued bonds, which was a concern for some commissioners.
Complex
Bennett said the regional council was formed to bring people together and he discussed the possibility of working together on a proposal. Dykstra mentioned the idea of possibly having one facility in each community, with different amenities. But thats just from one side of the fence, Dykstra said about the idea. The idea to build the complex with soccer, baseball and softball fields dates back to the mid-1990s, but it has yet to come to fruition. A Committee was formed in 2012 after CVB Chair Adam Wilkey made a request to get the process rolling.

Alexanders walk-off leads Brigade past Hays

sports.beat@thedailyunion.net
It took Jake Alexander just one swing of the bat, but with it he did more than an entire bottle of ibuprofen couldve done for the reeling Junction City Brigade. The left-handed outfielder stroked a pitch to right field in the bottom of the ninth inning, solid enough to get past the first baseman but soft enough to land in the grass in front of the outfielder. Kyle Cromwell scooted home from second, crossing the plate to give the Brigade a 4-3 final inning win over the Hays Larks at Rathert Stadium Wednesday night. It was a low fastball I think, Alexander said about his walk-off single. I feel like I was on my front knee and I kind of just chipped it over, a little pull shot over the first baseman. Cromwell was hit by a wild pitch to open the inning. Jordan Hodges laid a bunt perfectly down the first base line to move him over to second. The bunt was so good Hodges almost reached first safely. That brought Alexander to the plate with a chance to end Junction Citys four-game losing streak. It also gave Alexander a chance to break out of his own hitting struggles, he was 0-1 with two sacrifice ground outs, a strikeout and a walk entering the ninth. Jakes a great hitter, Junction City coach Shane Sieben said. This game is tough, thats the thing you need to understand. Whether youre 0-4 with four strikeouts or 4-4 with four doubles, it doesnt do you any good for your next at-bat. Youve got to be able to have a short memory and go back out there and look for the next pitch. Alexander said he tried to keep his mind clear during his at-bat. The biggest thing was focusing, He said. Please see Brigade, 4B

NCAA to stop putting name, logo on video game
Comeback falls short
The NCAA said Wednesday it wont allow Electronic Arts Inc. to use its logo and name in video games while it fights a lawsuit that says the governing body owes billions of dollars to former players for allowing their likenesses to be used for free. The NCAA said it wont enter into a new contract with EA Sports beyond the current one that expires June 2014. That means NCAA Football 2014 will be the last edition of the popular game. However, it wont necessarily stop EA Sports from producing a college football video game depicting powerhouse schools such as Alabama, Ohio State and Oregon. Member colleges and universities license their own trademarks and other intellectual property for the video game, the NCAA said in a statement. They will have to independently decide whether to continue those business arrangements in the future.
Klinsmanns faith pays off in win over Costa Rica

B y BARRY WILNER
Associated Press
EAST HARTFORD, Conn. Jurgen Klinsmann is searching for a few good men. Nearly two dozen of them, actually. When the World Cup rolls around in Brazil next year, he hopes to have 22 interchangeable parts on the U.S. national team. In a 1-0 victory over Costa Rica on Tuesday night that gave the Americans their group title in the CONCACAF Gold Cup, Klinsmanns willingness to reserve judgment as well as his seemingly inexhaustible faith in most of his players paid off again. Brek Shea, who didnt expect to get off the bench after he struggled in an earlier Gold Cup appearance, scored his first international goal off a feed from Landon Donovan in the 82nd minute. Seconds before that, fourthstring goalkeeper Sean Johnson made a brilliant save off a corner kick and Joe Corona cleared the ball, setting up the winning sequence. Three youngsters and the wily veteran Donovan stepped up at the perfect time. Its good giving them a taste of these kind of battles, Klinsmann said of using multiple lineups. Well keep on building this and giving them opportunities whenever possible. I am happy for them, they deserve these opportunities. We have a lot of young players coming through the ranks. All these players, we need to carefully build them and support them when things go wrong. Eventually, it will pay off. Klinsmann is seeking to make his personnel decisions for Brazil 2014 as difficult as possible by developing unprecedented depth in the U.S. program. Already, his team has set a national mark with eight straight victories as it heads to Baltimore on Sunday for the knockout rounds. The Americans will play El Salvador, while Costa Rica gets Honduras. Donovan, trying to work his way back into a starring role on the national team after a self-imposed hiatus, showed why he has been the backbone of U.S. soccer with what Klinsmann and Shea both termed a perfect pass for the goal. Donovan took the ball on the right side and quickly spotted Shea, who came on just five minutes earlier, streaking down the middle. Donovans pass hit Shea in stride, and the Stoke City player sent a left-footed shot from 15 yards off goalkeeper Patrick Pemberton and in for the winner, the Americans eighth straight victory, a team record.

Olympics
A former Olympic and professional runner from Ethiopia who was more than eight months pregnant has died after collapsing at a Connecticut restaurant, but doctors were able to save her baby. Friends say 26-year-old Meskerem Legesse of Westport, Conn., was with her 2-year-old son when she collapsed in Hamden Monday. Hamden Fire Chief David Berardesca says CPR efforts in the restaurant and ambulance allowed doctors to save the baby. A friend, Fatima Sene, says the children are with their father and arrangements are being made to bring Legesses body to Ethiopia. Legesses death was first reported by WFSB-TV. The cause of death isnt clear. Sene said Legesse had heart problems. Legesse ran the 1,500 meter race for Ethiopia in the 2004 Athens Olympics.

Six-run ninth dooms Hawks in 16-7 loss to Salina

sports.beat@thedailyunion.net
With no official clock, a comeback in baseball lasts as long as the team which is down can keep its rally going. Tuseday night, the Junction City Post 45 Hawks scratched and clawed back, desperately trying to erase an early eight-run deficit against the Salina Falcons at Rathert Stadium.
But after holding the visitors to just one run in innings three through eight, the Hawks pitching suddenly couldnt find the strike zone, loading the bases and allowing six runs in the ninth inning. The blow was too much for Junction City to handle, and the team went three-up and threedown in the bottom of the ninth to fall 16-7. I was proud of our guys to battle back, compete, put up a bunch of zeros, Junction City Please see Hawks, 3B

Prepping for British Open unlike any other major

B y DOUG FERGUSON
Associated Press
GULLANE, Scotland The practice round schedule posted each day at Muirfield is not the only way to determine how players are getting ready for the British Open. Johnson Wagners name was on the tee sheet at St. Andrews over the weekend. Geoff Ogilvy could be found on the other side of the country, on links courses like Turnberry, Royal Troon and Western Gailes. Justin Rose was at North Berwick. So were Bubba Watson and Luke Donald, who got in plenty of golf along the Firth of Forth the week before the British Open. Its not unusual for players to take off from their regular tours a week before a major to prepare. Whats different about the British Open isnt everything? is that preparations arent limited to the course they will be playing. You can prepare for the U.S. Open on the range, Ogilvy said Wednesday. But you can only prepare for The Open on the course. And it doesnt necessarily have to be the course youre playing. The seaside courses here, theyre the only courses with turf like this, with sand like this. Theres something different about the seaside wind in Scotland. ... You can fly to Shanghai or Abu Dhabi and work on what you need at home. But you cant work on what you need at home until you get here. Tiger Woods, a three-time Open champion, arrived Sunday morning and has played nine holes a day. There was a time he would leave home a week early and head to Ireland with Mark OMeara and David Duval, both former Open champions, and play the links courses there. Woods loves to recall his first experience with links golf in 1995 as the U.S. Amateur champion. He played the Scottish Open at Carnoustie, and then drove down the North Sea shoreline to St. Andrews for the British Open. I absolutely fell in love with it, to be able to dink a 5-iron from 150 yards and bump it on the ground, or vice
versa have 260 out and hit a 4-iron and it bounces over the green. That, to me, is pretty neat. Because we play everywhere around the world an airborne game where you have to hit the ball straight up in the air and make it stop. Here its different. A draw will go one distance, a fade will go another, and theyre so dramatic. And I just absolutely love it. True, adjusting to links golf can just as easily take place at Muirfield, where the British Open starts Thursday. Defending champion Ernie Els came down from Castle Stuart and has stayed at Muirfield, wrapping up his final practice round Wednesday just after 6 p.m. But there are no tricks at Muirfield. There are hardly any blind shots. Most of the bunkers are in plain view from the tee. Thats one of the reasons that Muirfield is a favorite of so many players, who use words like fair and honest test, which arent always heard on other links courses. I think of all the Open venues, its probably one of the least quirky ones, Donald said Wednesday. Its quite straightforward. Obviously with the weather conditions, its playing firm and fast. Its going to be about controlling your golf ball this week. And the weather looks good. The course is set up just the way the R&A would like it. Its bouncy. Its a little bit of a breeze out there. Firm conditions are a good protector of the golf course, and we certainly have that this week. The forecast is dry for the week, with perhaps some mist on the weekend. Even though officials had the course just the way they wanted it early in the week, they have turned on a few sprinklers in the evening to keep it from getting overcooked. I think its no exaggeration to say that in my time at the R&A with direct involvement in The Open Championship, which goes back to 2000, factors have combined this year
Ernie Els of South Africa plays a shot on the 15th hole during a practice round ahead of the British Open Golf Championship at Muirfield, Scotland, Wednesday.
to make this the best course set up weve ever had in that period, R&A chief executive Peter Dawson said. The course is just as we want it. Its hard. Its fast. Its in wonderful condition. The rough is just right. I think the players are enjoying it. It all starts to unfold Thursday morning when Peter Senior of Australia hits the opening tee shot.

SPORTS Hawks
coach Heath Gerstner said after the game. I think all that effort and energy fell through late because we couldnt throw a strike. Our pitchers struggled a little bit and we stretched our arms but I waspleased we competed. Down 10-4 in the eighth, Cody Devin ripped a shot to the outfield wall for a triple, scoring Kemondre Taylor. The outfield throw to third sailed into foul territory and Devin astutely got up and raced home for a little league home run. James Denton powered a double to left, scoring Johnathan Feaster to cut the Salina lead to three. It was Dentons third RBI of the day, he scored Feaster and himself in the second inning when he connected with a pitch and sent it past

the center field wall in the third inning, but 10-7 was the closest the Hawks would get to evening the score. Post 45 struggled to find the strike zone early in the game, allowing four runs in the first and five in the second to dig itself the deep hole. (It was a) lack of focus, lack of energy, lack of preparation, Gerstner said of the slow start. We werent ready to play, I could see it. I challenged our guys and we tried to prevent it, but it does happen. Will Ervin settled down the teams pitching, entering in the second and allowing just two runs through five innings pitched on six hits and two walks while striking out six. The defense then settled in behind him, making plays to give the comeback a chance to develop. Thats just our leaders, Gerstner said. Im proud of that. Weve got some guys on our team who will never give up. We knew it was going to be a long night with it being a nine-inning game. We had to find a way to battle back and get a couple, chip away. The other coach was uneasy when we got it to a three-run ball game with runners on. The game was a nine inning set because Gerstner wanted to give his team a chance to prepare for zone play, where the games will be nine innings long. For most of the summer, the Hawks have played seven-inning double-headers. Its a learning experience, it is. Gerstner said of the longer game format. I dont like to have excuses, but its one of those things were going to have to get better at it. The loss drops Junction Citys record to 15-15 on the summer. Post 45 starts the Washburn team camp and tournament today in Topeka.

Cut husband a break with daughters chemo

Dear Annie: My daughter, Elizabeth, is a professional who is married to an older man. Ill call him Jacob. They have two children. Elizabeth recently was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and is going through intense chemotherapy. Early in her treatment, Jacob used to help a lot around the house with laundry and meals, and took good care of the kids. But she is halfway through her treatments, and although Jacob still looks after Elizabeth and the children, he expects her to do a lot more around the house. Of course, as soon as Elizabeth feels a little strong, she goes beyond her capacity and does too much. This aggravates me. Elizabeth never demands that Jacob help more. I had an argument with him over it. On the day of one of her treatments, I reminded him to be home in time to pick up the oldest child from school. He replied, I will see when I will be finished at my mothers. I told him that on the day of the chemo, he cannot leave his wife alone with two children, supper and homework time. It is very tiring for her. He said he does not need to be reminded. Then we got into an argument, and he said we do not love him, we only do things for our daughter, and we are lucky he does not close the door in our faces. Annie, I worry about Elizabeths strength. We help as much as we can by cooking some meals, picking up the oldest from school, helping him with homework and taking the youngest so Elizabeth can rest. But Jacob allows her to do the laundry, cooking and shopping while he cuts the bushes, cleans the gutters and prays (he is very religious). She is not going to get well if she is exhausted. My sweet daughter always takes her husbands side, and my husband tells me to look after my own health, because I had a mild heart attack a few months ago. How do we handle this? Distraught Mother Dear Distraught: We know you want Jacob to take over all of these chores, and we agree that he should do more on the days when Elizabeth has her chemo. But try to be more compassionate. Jacob is going through a difficult period, too, and also needs a break. Please do what you can for your daughters family.

It is a great help when you can cook a meal or take the kids. If you can afford to hire someone to assist on the days when Elizabeth has a chemo treatment, that would be an amazing gift. Otherwise, please back off a bit. You are not helping yourself or your daughter by getting into fights with her husband and adding stress to her life. Dear Annie: Iowa wrote to say that her mother suggested she put down her 13-year-old cat because he has diabetes. She was upset that Mom was so negative. But Mom may be wiser than you think. I cared for my 18-year-old diabetic cat, who needed insulin shots daily. While the shots are easy to administer, the main problem is having to schedule your entire life around those injections. If Iowa is still in school, has a boyfriend and perhaps a part-time job and a busy social calendar, she might discover the responsibility of daily shots at regular times is a lot to incorporate. I was unable to accept a job that required irregular shifts and had to forgo summer vacations that involved being out of town unless I could take my cat with me. Because I made significant sacrifices for my cat, she enjoyed a good quality of life for five years. But the commitment is far more than just poking the cat with a needle. It is a major responsibility she cannot shirk when something more interesting comes up. Lifetime Cat Lover

Wizard of Id
Horoscope
Every summer, someone is bound to say, Its not the heat; its the humidity. Before you roll your eyes, the Scorpio moon, void of course, urges us to apply this to our personal lives today: Its not that a loved one has a bad temper, but that the atmosphere lately has pushed some of us to the brink. Open a window or two and let in a fresh mood. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Work or school might feel like an albatross around your neck, but dont despair: An unexpected encounter will remind you that you have wings of your own, and youre just waiting for the right moment to take flight. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If youve ever actually sung the blues, you know how the things that make you sad can be the very same things that lift your spirits once expressed. Try it. If you dont sing, at least talk about whats troubling you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your network of far-flung friends and relations maybe doesnt feel exactly like a net, but rather more like an exhausting trap of obligations and duties. Let everyone know that youre taking a well-deserved break. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You dont need to have a thrilling time to have a good time. Youll be more reasonable than your friends in this regard. You have a charming way of projecting the voice of reason. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You hate to feel indebted to people. Youll return favors, give gratitude and contribute big. But theres a sense that you cant get even with some people who always want to give you more. Perhaps because they need the upper hand? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You strive for a pure heart, clear mind and devout soul. It doesnt always work out that way. On the bright side, vice in moderation can be a bonding agent between people. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Pleasant surprises are still surprises, and today youre just not in the mood to be startled in any way. Luckily, you will be able to control your environment to a large degree. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Good fortune is the result of good planning. Of course, for a plan to work, you have to follow it, which you will with a few exceptions. Today youre the perfect mix of being structured and in the moment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When it comes to the daily dance of juggling work and family, youve often felt as if you have two left feet and a bad case of vertigo. But others only see how well you can spin those plates without dropping them. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Older people tend to project an illusion of happiness onto younger people who may or may not feel that way. This moon helps you tune in to the truth of the matter, though, and reach out as needed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You love mischievous and playful people, but not dishonest people. The distinctions can get a bit murky. Dont be afraid to clear them up, though, and sooner rather than later. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Even when you are not among your true and sincere friends, you can still be yourself. In fact, thats the best person to be to attract new true and sincere friends.

SPORTS Rivera
Quiet, reserved and understated during nearly a quarter-century in a sport that took him from Panama to the pantheon of pinstriped pitchers, Rivera was being honored with that rarest of baseball tributes a solo bow. As he reached the brown circle in the center of the green diamond, Rivera realized he was the only person on the field. Sinatra. Springsteen. The Mick Jagger and Mantle. They all got to stand in the spotlight alone. And now it was Riveras turn. He took off his cap, waved it to all sides of the ballpark. He touched his hat to his heart. His AL All-Star teammates stood by the thirdbase dugout rail and applauded, just like the fans. So did his NL opponents on the first-base side. With no other players in fair territory, he finally started tossing his warmup pitches to catcher Salvador Perez. Like Ted Williams at Bostons Fenway Park in 1999 and Cal Ripken Jr. at Seattles Safeco Field two years later, one man transcended all the rest of the gathered talent. Youre supposed to know your team is behind you, Rivera said. I didnt know what to do. Just keep throwing the ball, I guess, because it was so weird. And then, after a 90-second standing ovation, eight AL position players came on the field. Normalcy resumed. Rivera threw 16 pitches all cutters and retired Jean Segura, Allen Craig and Carlos Gomez, sending the side down in order the way he has so many times before. He still can pitch for three or four more years. Hes the best, Gomez explained. After I got to the dugout, I say Im going to be history because Im the last guy Mariano got out in the All-Star game. Rivera then walked to the dugout to another standing ovation and was given a hug by Detroit ace Justin Verlander. Its kind of surreal for me, Verlander said. I just wanted to give him the respect and the respect that he deserved, I just happened to be standing out there and I was the first one he came to. Thats something that I will never forget. AL manager Jim Leyland decided to pitch Rivera in the eighth instead of the ninth, worried that if the NL somehow rallied Rivera might not get into the game. I just couldnt take any chance, Leyland said. You know, Im probably not the most popular manager in baseball. I wanted to make sure I got out of here alive. Rivera has never allowed an earned run in nine AllStar innings. The only older pitcher to appear in an AllStar game was 47-year-old Satchel Paige 60 years ago, according to STATS. At 43, Rivera was the oldest AllStar since Carlton Fisk in 1991. Of course, he was selected the All-Star MVP. Never having had a chance for a talk, Mets star David Wright pulled Rivera aside at baseballs red-carpet event before the game. Before it was too late, I had enough courage to kind of go grab him and just tell him how much I appreciate his body of work, the way he carries himself, how great of an ambassador he is to this game, Wright said. Forget about the numbers. Forget about being the greatest closer of all-time. The way he carries himself and the way he goes about his business is special. After the game, still smiling, sometimes laughing, Rivera spoke in the interview room as his family stood behind him.

Since 1861
American Leagues Mariano Rivera, of the New York Yankees, is congratulated by catcher Salvador Perez, right, of the Kansas City Royals, after the eighth inning of the MLB All-Star baseball game on Tuesday in New York.
Early in the second half, Costa Rica captain Pemberton came out of his net, collided with a teammate outside the area and then had the ball hit him squarely in the hands. He was given only a yellow card, however, then immediately made saves on Jose Torres curling free kick and Donovans shot off a rebound. That sequence opened up play for a while, but then it deteriorated into sloppiness and some roughness in midfield between teams with no love lost. U.S. captain DaMarcus Beasley took a nasty spill and was run over by Rodney Wallace early in the match. A woozy Beasley sat out three minutes before returning and almost immediately stripped the ball from Wallace. His teammates struggled to link up, showing their lack of familiarity with each other, through the first 20 minutes. Indeed, neither goalkeeper was particularly threatened until U.S. defender Clarence Goodson got free on the left side of the box late in the first half. His left-footed drive was deflected out of bounds by the defense. Costa Rica played a tightly packed defensive style for much of the match, but coach Jorge Luis Pinto felt his players handled themselves well. The only thing we lacked was getting the goal, Pinto said. The United States got the goal, we didnt. Notes: The other quarterfinals have Mexico vs. Trinidad and Tobago, and Cuba vs. Panama on Saturday in Atlanta. ... Costa Rica had won eight straight internationals. ... The shutout was the first against the Ticos in 12 Gold Cup matches. ... The United States is 13-12-6 all-time against Costa Rica. It was tough to see him go out the way he did with that two-run shot to tie it and him not get a decision in the matter. Tyler Clapper earned the win pitching one and twothirds innings of relief. The win improves the Brigades record to 19-11 on the season. The two teams meet again tonight in Hays. It feels good because we havent really been on a streak lately, Alexander said. Its good to get a W under our belt, thats for sure.

Brek made a great run, Donovan said. Sometimes when a team has their whole team behind the ball defensively, you have to make a special play. Thats absolutely the guy we want to have score that goal. Shea was grateful to Donovan for the feed, and thankful Klinsmann hadnt lost confidence in him. Its good, Shea said. First U.S. goal, only goal of the game, it wins the group. Really good. Sheas goal broke a 785-minute string without being scored upon for Costa Rica. It followed Johnson making a clutch stop on Carlos Johnson. Once I made the save, we just tried to get it out of there, Sean Johnson said. Then I saw it cleared and were breaking the other way. It created an opportunity and we finished it. The match was played in slightly different conditions than the last time the nations met. That was in a blizzard in Denver, with the United States edging Costa Rica 1-0 in a World Cup qualifier. Tuesday night, there was plenty of moisture on the pitch just before kickoff, but it came from sprinklers trying to keep the turf in shape during a northeastern heat wave. With both sides already having clinched moving on in the CONCACAF championship, not much happened offensively until late in the match in front of 25,432.

that point. He went five pitches the inning before that, Sieben said of Brandecker. The seventh inning, he only throws five pitches and he gets out the first two batters in the eighth. He just made one mistake. He was ahead of the guy 1-2. There was no reason to take him out of the game, he was cruising. Sieben was impressed with the way Brandecker handled a very good hitting Hays team. (Brandecker) was phenomenal and the one who really kept us in it, He said.

Wiggins, Andrews win national prep athlete awards

B y BETH HARRIS
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES Andrew Wiggins, headed to Kansas as one of the nations most highly recruited basketball players, and soccer player Morgan Andrews, a Notre Dame recruit, were honored as national prep athletes of the year on Tuesday night. Wiggins averaged a double-double in 25 minutes per game at Huntington St. Josephs Prep in West Virginia. The Toronto native has been a fixture on Canadas junior national team. He twice led bronze medal-winning teams at the international level. He received the silver trophy from Indiana Pacers All-Star Paul George, San Diego Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers and Olympic medal-winning sprinter Bryshon Nellum. Its just a blessing, Wiggins said after the presentation in Hollywood. I kind of dont realize at first its such a big deal. I think it will hit me more afterward. Wiggins joined such storied past winners as LeBron James, Dwight Howard and Kevin Love. Wiggins said his goal has been to play in the NBA ever since I was on earth. His father played professionally overseas, and Wiggins recalled watching him play when he was a small boy. At Kansas, Wiggins wants to help deliver the Jayhawks a national championship. I think I can give the fans what we want, he said. Andrews became just the second soccer player to win the national award in its 11-year history. The forward from Milford (N.H.) High scored 31 goals and had 18 assists while leading her team to a 16-3-1 record and the Division II state title. Andrews was captain of the national Under-17 womens team last year. Shes also an All-State placekicker for her
schools football team. Let me know your longest field goal and Ill put in a call for you, Rivers jokingly told Andrews. She received her award from U.S. national soccer team star Abby Wambach and three-time Olympic champion beach volleyball player Misty May-Treanor, who retired after the London Olympics. Its been an incredible experience, said Andrews, who thanked her small hometown for its support. This award means the world to me. Andrews said her goal is to make the U.S. roster for the 2015 Womens World Cup and the 2016 Olympics. My goal is to always do the best I can possibly do and to promote the game, she said, and hopefully win a couple of national championships. Wiggins beat out nominees Trayvon Bromell, a sprinter from Gibbs High in St. Petersburg, Fla.; USC-bound quarterback Max Browne of Skyline High in Sammamish, Wash.; cross country runner Edward Cheserek of St. Benedicts Prep in Newark, N.J.; and center fielder Clint Frazier of Loganville (Ga.) High, who was recently drafted No. 1 by the Cleveland Indians. Andrews won over nominees Sarah Baxter, a distance runner from Simi Valley (Calif.) High; volleyball setter Lauren Carlini of West Aurora High in Aurora, IIl.; softball pitcher Carley Hoover of D.W. Daniel High in Central, S.C.; basketball player Mercedes Russell of Springfield (Ore.) High; and heptathlete Kendell Williams of Kell High in Marietta, Ga. The winners were chosen by a nationwide panel of sports experts who took into account individual accomplishments during the academic year, athletic, academic and character excellence, impact on their teams success and their achievements during their prep career. The awards are sponsored by Gatorade.

Blatter: Brazil may have been wrong choice as host

Associated Press
GOING, Austria FIFA President Sepp Blatter said Brazil might have been the wrong choice as host of the 2014 World Cup if the tournament is affected by more social protests similar to those as at the Confederations Cup. Hundreds of thousands of Brazilians took to the streets during the warm-up tournament in June, demanding better public services and expressing their anger about the cost to stage the World Cup. If this happens again, we have to question whether we made the wrong decision awarding the hosting rights, Blatter told German press agency DPA on Wednesday. FIFA spoke with the Brazilian government after the Confederations Cup, and Blatter said hell discuss the issue again with Brazil President Dilma Rousseff in September. We didnt do a political debriefing, but we did emphasize the fact of this social unrest being there for the entire duration of the Confederations Cup, he said. The government is now aware that next year the World Cup shouldnt be disturbed. To me, these protests were like alarm bells for the government, the senate, the parliament. They should work on it so that this is not going to happen again. Though protests, if peaceful, are part of democracy and therefore have to be accepted ... we are convinced the government, and especially the president, will find the words and the actions to prevent a repeat. They have a year to do so. Blatter was speaking at the start of a twoday conference on sports, media and economy set up by German great Franz Beckenbauer in Austria. FIFA later verified the comments were accurate. The Confederations Cup, which was won by Brazil, angered citizens who are upset with the billions of dollars spent on the tournaments while they endure underfunded schools and hospitals. Protesters aired a variety of grievances, including the high cost of hosting the 2016 Rio Olympics. The protests were originally organized by university students before spreading across the country, including tournament host cities Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Fortaleza and Belo Horizonte. Its not we who have to learn lessons from the protests in Brazil politics in Brazil have to do that, said Blatter, adding that FIFA cannot be held responsible for social problems in the country. Without FIFAs executive committee having to vote, Brazil won the right to host the tournament in October 2007. That was six months after the only other candidate, Colombia, withdrew its bid. The decision for Brazil was the best decision we could make. It was the correct decision, we stick to this decision, Blatter said. Blatter said the success of next years tournament will be instrumental in his decision whether to stand for president for a fifth time in 2015, adding that not all of the governing bodys tasks have been fulfilled. First we have to complete the reforms, which are three-quarters done. Ill then have to deliver the World Cup ... the way the world looks now, Ill say yes or no (to standing again) at the next congress in Sao Paulo in 2014, he said. FIFA should be taken over by someone who can take over a FIFA which is not just financially healthy, which it is now, but which also has credibility.
