Case against former shelter director continues

m.editor@thedailyunion.net
An arraignment hearing for former Junction City-Geary County Animal Shelter Director Lisa Junghans last week was postponed a month. The hearing, during which Junghans would have entered a plea, was continued to Dec. 23 in Geary County District Court. Junghans is accused of taking at least $25,000 from the animal shelter, according to court documents. On July 9, Junghans resigned as shelter director without an explanation for her decision. She had worked at the shelter since 2006. Junction City police arrested Junghans on Aug. 30. She was released on a $5,000 bond that evening. A criminal complaint filed in court charges Junghans with one count of theft, but states the theft occurred in two or more acts or transactions.

Though county and city officials have yet to confirm what funds were stolen, an animal code recently-approved by the City Commission makes changes to how pet fee licenses are handled.

Greek Heroes is out of business for the time being after the restaurant suffered significant structural damage in a fire Sunday afternoon. At about 1:45 p.m. Sunday, Junction City firefighters responded to the restaurant, located at 1032 S. Washington St., for a reported fire. On Monday, Fire Chief Kevin Royse said the esti-

mated loss is $150,000. He said the cause of the fire at this time is undetermined. Its still under investigation, Royse said. We did ask for assistance from the State Fire Marshal, just due to the fact it was a commercial building. Royse said the damage to the building was substantial. The fire left a large hole in the roof. Greek Heroes was closed Sunday when the fire broke out. The department respond-

ed with 13 firefighters. Royse said one firefighter suffered a back injury while battling the blaze. The firefighter was treated at Geary Community Hospital and released. On Monday, restaurant owner Bill Herr said his renters insurance will cover his losses. The building is owned by Herington residents Joe and Mary Ann Maggard, according to Geary County Appraisers Office records. Please see Blaze, 8A

Theater ready to re-open by December

FORT RILEY Barlow Theater, Building 7866 Normandy Drive on Custer Hill, will be re-opening with regular weekend show times. The theater is tentatively scheduled to reopen Dec. 6, after an extended closure. You dont have to get away to see a good movie. You can stay right at home at Fort Riley, said Lucinda Trotter, manager, Barlow Theater, Army and Air Force Exchange Service. Since its closure, the theater has seen upgrades from film projection to digital projection. The theater closed its doors March 3 because of low attendance, combined with an outdated film projector. At that time, the costs associated with upgrading the theaters film equipment were determined to be too high, so the theater closed its doors, according to Trotter. AAFES officials reconsidered the decision a few months later and decided to go ahead and make the necessary upgrades and re-open the theater. The theater will be able to show movies in 3-D with the new projector and has 3,000 pairs of 3-D glasses to accommodate patrons, she said. Additionally, a new silver screen is in place, as well as a new sound system. The upgrades have been costly, Trotter said, but the entire movie experience will be of much higher quality than before. I really hope people utilize the theater, since its been given a second chance, Trotter said. The theater will have four showings each weekend. Friday evening show times will be at 7 p.m. Saturday show times will include a 2 p.m. matinee and an evening show time at 7 p.m., and Sunday show times will be at 5 p.m.

The 1st Infantry Division announced the winners of the Soldier and Noncommissioned Officer of the Quarter competition on Nov. 26 at division headquarters at Fort Riley. The winners were Cpl. Benjamin McPherson, 84th Explosive Ordnance Disposal Battalion, 1st Sustainment Brigade, and Sgt. Steven Salas, Special Troops Battalion, 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team. The winners edged out 10 other soldiers in a three-day competition that included a physical training test, soldier skills testing, a written exam and a land navigation test. Salas and McPherson also had the opportunity to be interviewed by the 101.5 K-ROCK morning show in Manhattan, the following morning. Both will move on to compete for the division Soldier and NCO of the Year in the fall of 2014.

FORT RILEY The annual Holiday Tree-Lighting ceremony will be at 5:30 p.m. Dec. 5 outside of Garrison Headquarters, Building 500 Huebner Road on Main Post. The lighting of the holiday tree kicks off the holiday season every year at Fort Riley. The ceremony is open to the public. In addition to the lighting of the tree, the event will feature singing, remarks, refreshments and a visit from Santa Claus. My favorite part is the arrival of Santa. The kids love him, and he likes to work the crowd, said Steven Balderrama, operations

specialist, Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security. The event is fun and family friendly, he said, with blankets and hot chocolate available, free of charge, while supplies last. A warming tent also is available for attendees. A section of Huebner Road, located in front of Garrison headquarters, will be closed during the ceremony, from about 5 to 6 p.m. Parking will be available behind the building, which can be accessed via Carpenter Avenue. A childrens group will sing Christmas carols, and the 1st Infantry Division Band and Fort Riley Army Spouses Choir also will perform. Its exciting to have the spouses choir performing

for the first time this year, Balderrama said. Maj. Gen. Paul E. Funk II, commanding general, 1st Infantry Division and Fort Riley, will be the guest speaker for the event. The 1st Infantry Division Family of the Year is the Tubbs family, which includes Sgt. Dean A. Tubbs, 2nd Battalion 16th Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, his wife, Kelli, and three children, Cody, 22, Kelsie, 21, and McKenzie, 13. The family will assist Funk with lighting the community holiday tree. After the tree is lit and the ceremony is complete, Santa will move into the foyer of the Garrison headquarters building for pictures with children.

FORT RILEY Fort Rileys Alcohol and Substance Abuse Program is coordinating events in observance of 3-D Month. During the holiday season, its especially important to remind Soldiers and civilians of some of the dangers that can lurk with so many parties and activities going on, said Chris Bowman, prevention coordinator, ASAP, Directorate of Human Resources. A highlight of the monthlong observance will be a performance by comedian Bernie McGrenahan. Show times are set for 10 to 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 to 3 p.m. Dec. 11 at Barlow Theater on

Custer Hill. Performances are open to Soldiers, Department of Defense employees and family members. No reservations are necessary. Instead of a typical briefing about drugged and drunk driving or drugs and alcohol, (Bernies approach is) kind of a back-door approach, Bowman said. He comes at (the audience) with a little bit of humor, and I think that the humor gets people more engaged. As a result, they listen more carefully, and its just better received. Another event being offered by ASAP in observance of 3-D Month is a class called Cracking the Code, which educates parents about current drugs being used by youth.

Should all five commissioners be in attendance, Junction City could have a new animal code effective in the near future. Two attempts were made on Nov. 19 to approve an animal code, but when it came down to votes, the commission tied 2-2. Vice Mayor Pat Landes was unable to attend the meeting. Tonight at 7 p.m., commissioners will attempt to move forward on the animal code. Last months debate centered around whether the city should place a limit on the number of pets allowed per property. Proponents of a limit have suggested allowing up to five of each type of licensable animal dogs, cats, ferrets, domesticated rodents and hedgehogs. Each property would be allowed 10 total pets. The limit was placed in the new ordinance language because some felt there was a need for a limit. That perceived need was brought up during the course of a year-long process in which a committee of stakeholders worked to create an updated animal code. Veterinarians, city commissioners, city staff, citizens and an animal control officer took part in those discussions. Opponents believe the pet limit is unreasonable. Theyve argued Junction City doesnt have a problem with people keeping too many pets to the point where it could become a nuisance. As part of an effort to recruit Ventria Bioscience to Junction City, the city entered into an agreement with Kansas Bioscience Authority (KBA) that called for the body to pay the city $1 million in grants. But since the City Commission tonight is expected to approve a new agreement with Ventria, KBA also wants to adjust its agreement with the city. Tonight, the commission is expected to vote on a letter of understanding that spells out the new agreement with KBA. The new agreement would release KBA from $600,000 in grant milestones, which primarily relate to how many people Ventria employs. Most of the payments would be made when Ventria reached a certain number of employees. Under KBAs proposal, the $400,000 in other grants wouldnt have to be paid until February 2018. At its last meeting, the City Commission granted agreement amendments to give Ventria a similar extension to meet its milestones. Essentially, the new agreement with Ventria gives the company more time before it must begin making payments to an escrow account for unmet milestones established in its agreement with the city. Those milestones set marks for number of employees and total acres used for production by a certain year.

Lebanese army taking over in second-largest city


B Y B ASSEM M ROUE

Gray to seek second term as DC mayor


B Y B EN N UCKOLS

Associated Press
WASHINGTON Vincent Gray will seek a second term as District of Columbia mayor, settling a question that had hung over city politics for months. Grays decision Monday sets up a campaign that will force voters to weigh the prosperity achieved during the Democrats nearly three years in office against the crimes several close associates committed to help get him elected in 2010. A federal investigation of the 2010 campaign has been ongoing for most of Grays term. Four people who worked on the campaign have pleaded guilty to felonies, two of them for helping to arrange and spend $653,000 in illicit funds on Grays behalf. Prosecutors called the effort a shadow campaign that tainted Grays victory over then-Mayor Adrian Fenty. Gray maintains he did nothing wrong, although he has declined to discuss the case in detail. His attorney, Robert Bennett, declined to say whether he gave the mayor any advice about running for re-election. Gray arrived late Monday afternoon at the D.C. Board of Elections to pick up nominating petitions. He has one month to collect 2,000 signatures to get his name on the ballot. The mayor said he waited until four months before the primary to declare his candidacy because he wanted to give U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen as much time as possible to wrap up the investigation. I was hoping that all the 2010 stuff would be over, Gray said. It isnt and it will continue on however long the U.S. attorney chooses to investigate it. We have 30 more days to get our petition in and I wanted to make sure at least I had that opportunity. The mayor spoke only briefly to reporters after filling out his paperwork and said he would formally launch his campaign early next year. There are lots of people who have prevailed on me to do this, Gray said. I really think that people feel the city is going in the right direction. Supporters maintain that after a rocky first few months in office, Gray has

Associated Press
TRIPOLI, Lebanon The government authorized the army Monday to take charge of security in Lebanons second-largest city of Tripoli for six months following deadly sectarian clashes by rival sides stemming from the civil war in neighboring Syria. Many fear that the violence in Tripoli only 18 miles (30 kilometers) from the Syrian border could tip the rest of Lebanon back toward chaos. At least 12 people were killed and more than 100 wounded in the latest fighting that broke out Saturday. The decision by caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati after a high-level security meeting at the presidential palace is meant to allay fears that the fighting was spreading out of control in the northern port city. But the army is weak and has been largely unable to stop the violence. Dozens of soldiers have been killed and wounded in Tripoli this year, often caught in the crossfire between rival gunmen. Sectarian clashes linked to the war in Syria often flare in Tripoli between supporters and opponents of Syrian President Bashar Assad. Lebanon is divided into a patchwork of sects, including Sunnis, Shiites and Christians. Syrias rebels are dominated by its Sunni Muslim majority, and Lebanese Sunnis mostly support their brethren across the border, while Lebanese Shiites have staked their future with the Assad regime. The Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah has played a critical role in recent battlefield victories for forces loyal to

Assad. The fighting in Tripoli is concentrated between two impoverished, rival neighborhoods. The Bab Tabbaneh district is largely Sunni Muslim, as are most of the Syrian rebels fighting Assads rule. Residents of Jabal Mohsen, a neighborhood perched on a hill, are mostly from his Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam. But the violence in recent days has taken a more ominous turn, spreading to include other parts of Tripoli as snipers took up positions on rooftops, and gunbattles and rocket fire raged out of control. On Monday, schools, universities and some businesses were mostly closed as occasional gunfire rang out. Tripolis landmark Abu Ali Square usually packed with cars, pedestrians and shoppers was largely deserted as ambulances took casualties to hospitals. Lebanese military armored vehicles patrolled, sometimes helping carry terrified civilians to safe places. At one point, a brown BMW sped toward an army checkpoint near the square and screeched to a halt. The shaken driver jumped out and shouted to the troops, I have two soldiers who were shot in the neck. The officers ran toward him, looked at the wounded soldiers in the car and said, Take them straight to the hospital. The car sped away. A soldier said the two wounded officers had been off duty and were going home in the northern region of Akkar when they were hit by sniper fire. On Sunday night, announcements were made through mosque loudspeakers for people to move to lower floors to avoid being hit by bullets or shells. I am worried about Tripoli, said Khaled Tutunji, who works at a construction material shop near Abu Ali Square. In the past, we did not know who is a Sunni and who is Alawite, he said as he stood beside an armored personnel carrier as cracks of gunfire echoed from a distance. Tensions soared in the city in August, following twin bombings outside Sunni mosques that killed 47 people and wounded scores. Authorities arrested several members of the proAssad Arab Democratic Party on suspicion they were involved and they summoned the groups leader, Ali Eid, for questioning. He has refused to go to the police intelligence office, saying he did not trust them to be impartial. His son, Rifaat, said his father is ready to go to any security agency other than the police intelligence office, which many pro-Syrians accuse of being dominated by anti-Assad officers.

Gunman killed in rare Iceland police shooting


By The Associated Press
LONDON Police in Iceland said Monday they shot dead a gunman the first time armed police have killed someone in the nation. Iceland, which has a tiny population of around 320,000, has a low crime rate and gun violence is extremely rare. Its regular police force does not carry firearms. Haraldur Johannessen, National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, said Mondays incident was unprecedented. Police said officers were called to an apartment in the Reykjavik suburb of Arbaer early Monday when a man fired a shotgun from inside the flat. Two policemen, who were not armed, were shot at when trying to enter the gunmans apartment. Witnesses told local media that a smoke bomb was thrown into the apartment through a broken window in efforts to sub-

Year-end signups crucial test for site


By The Associated Press

WASHINGTON President Barack Obamas new and improved health care website faces yet another test in just a couple of weeks, its biggest yet. If HealthCare.gov becomes overwhelmed by an expected year-end crunch, many Americans will be left facing a break in their insurance coverage. Until now, the main damage from the websites technology woes has been to Obamas poll ratings. But if

it chokes again, it will be everyday people feeling the consequences. Some of those at risk are among the more than 4 million consumers whose individual policies have been canceled because the coverage didnt comply with requirements of the new health care law. A smaller number, several hundred thousand, are in federal and state programs for people whose health problems already were a barrier to getting private insurance before the overhaul.

due the man. A special armed unit then entered and fired at the man, who was rushed to the hospital, where he died. No one else has been injured. All available members of the police force were deployed, and they tried to subdue him, but it was not successful, Reykjavik Metropolitan Police Commissioner Stefan Eiriksson told a press conference, according to local media website Visir. The man began to shoot out the window of the apartment and it was decided to take action. The motives of the man, who has not been named, are unclear. According to RUV, Icelands national television station, the gunman was a man in his fifties and had been making threats to his neighbors. Shotguns for hunting are legal in Iceland. Many Icelanders believe that the country rarely sees gun violence in part because handguns are banned.

been a conscientious leader for a city thats enjoyed declining violent crime, soaring property values, a rising population and improving schools. The mayor contends he has fulfilled his promises to shore up the citys finances and make strides in education, public safety, economic development and environmental stewardship. Hes also been a forceful advocate for greater autonomy for the city, whose laws and policies are subject to review by Congress. Gray is a late entry into the race, with the Democratic primary scheduled for April 1. Some of his opponents have been running for the better part of a year. The mayor remained coy about his intentions for so long that many observers including some of his supporters and potential rivals assumed he had no intention of running. As the incumbent mayor of a thriving city, Gray should have no trouble raising enough money to compete, but many of his influential 2010 backers have abandoned him, and he will have to rebuild a campaign organization from scratch. His approval ratings tanked amid revelations of the shadow campaign and a scandal involving minor candidate Sulaimon Brown, who was paid by Gray campaign workers to stay in the race and make negative comments about Fenty. Brown was rewarded with a $110,000-a-year job in the Gray administration but was fired in early 2011 after less than a month in the position. He then came forward with his allegations, which led to the federal probe. Two people pleaded guilty to paying Brown with Gray campaign funds and trying to cover up the transactions. A Washington Poll in July 2012 put Grays approval rating at 29 percent and his disapproval rating at 59 percent. Gray enters a crowded field of candidates from which no obvious frontrunner has emerged. Four D.C. councilmembers Muriel Bowser, Jack Evans, Vincent Orange and Tommy Wells are seeking the citys highest office. Other Democratic candidates include former State Department official Reta Lewis and Iraqi-born restaurateur Andy Shallal.

Another view Lets stop buying, giving stuff people dont want or need
B Y D ANIEL F INK

Los Angeles Times

ome celebrate Christmas, some Hanukkah and some Kwanzaa, but to me the coming holiday time is potlatch season, and its starting earlier every year. A potlatch was a festival of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest during which the host distributed property and gifts as a way to demonstrate wealth, generosity and social standing. Guests would reciprocate at a later time with items that matched or exceeded the value of the original gifts, or risk being humiliated. Although births and marriages were sometimes acknowledged at a potlatch, the main purpose was the reciprocal redistribution of wealth. The more one gave away, the greater ones power. In some tribes celebrations, the goods were destroyed, in what might be called the ultimate act of conspicuous consumption. In the late 1800s, Canada and the United States banned potlatch ceremonies at the urging of Christian missionaries and government agents, who saw the custom as wasteful, unproductive and contrary to civilized values. These bans were clearly discriminatory, but were also a way of assimilating the native peoples into Western traditions of displaying power by accumulating and keeping wealth rather than by giving it away. The potlatch bans were eventually repealed. Fast-forward 125 years, and one wonders whether modern American society has adopted the potlatch traditions. As Black Friday morphs in one direction to interfere with the celebration of Thanksgiving and in the other toward Cyber Monday, people continue to buy one another things just because they have to get someone a gift, even if it may be re-gifted, returned or never used. Our societys barely restrained annual celebration of blatant commercialism approaches the seemingly needless exchanges and even destructiveness of the potlatch. Judging from news reports and holiday sales that began before kids were done trick-or-treating, retailers are very concerned that business will be down from last year. They have reason to be concerned. Aside from the shorter shopping period between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the economy is still a shambles, the economic impact of Obamacare is unclear and there are no really must have consumer electronics, books or toys. Unfortunately, in these hard economic times, when jobs are still scarce, there is great need and even food insecurity, especially among younger people and families with children. But in most parts of middle- and upper-class Southern California, nobody appears to need much more than what they already have. My wife says that if everyone thought as I do, the economy would be in even worse shape. Shes probably right. The malls would be emptier and business would be down for sweatshops in China, unsafe factories in Bangladesh and makers of gift cards and wrap. But here in the Los Angeles area, cars are parked in driveways or on the street because garages are full of stuff. And when Angelenos run out of space there, they rent storage lockers, where from time to time they visit their extra things. Maybe this year, we can work toward ending the potlatch season. Lets stop buying and giving things people dont want and dont need. If you feel a need to give, give food to the hungry, clothes and toys to those in need, or donations to victims of storms, violence or conflict. A plate of homemade cookies or some other delicacy delivered personally is a much better way to remember friends and family than a meaningless generic gift, a dustable to sit on the shelf or yet another illfitting sweater in the wrong color. And most older people need even fewer things. Unfortunately, what they really want youth, vigor, health are things we cant give them. But they, and Im sure many others, would appreciate a call, a card or a visit from family, neighbors and friends. So will you.

Impact of securing water rights


MARTIN HAWVER
Commentary Weve preserved the aquifer as best we can with laws regulating use of that vital resource, but practically the aquifer is drying out. It could be recharged with water from the Missouri River taken gingerly so as not to hinder barge traffic on the Mississippi, but with authority by the state claiming ownership rights to parts of that Missouri flow. Boy, this idea goes a lot of ways ... securing the water rights to the giant multi-billion dollar construction project crossing more than a dozen counties. But, can you imagine the impact of securing water for western Kansas, where water is the life blood of the region? And, can you imagine more than a dozen county commissions planning for rights-of-way for the aqueduct, the county roads and state highways that will need bridges, and how school buses get to the children and back to schools? How about ... would those miles of aqueduct banks (edges?) be the place youd like a home, or will the aqueduct be deep enough that you could boat, or maybe just kayak or canoe on it? Will eastern Kansans, and their legislators, see the advantage of keeping western Kansas and its ag and meatprocessing and dairy industries growing? Or, are we pretty sure that if Johnson County residents can get enough water for their lattes that they wont worry much if western Kansas farmers have to fetch bottled water for their livestock? Do you want the aqueduct to go through your field, or beside the highway? Will someone decide to put up a restaurant or strip joint beside the aqueduct? Lots of things to think about. Lots of ways for this idea to go. It just better be decided before the Legislature is reapportioned again ... oh, and watch the grill, please

ver have one of those ideas so big and complicated and distracting that you dont notice the hamburgers burning on the grill? Well, weve got one running around the Statehouse: The concept of securing the rights to millions of gallons of water from the Missouri River that is the ragged northeast border of Kansas and building a 340-mile long aqueduct with more than a dozen pumping stations to move the water to western Kansas to inject into the shrinking Ogallala Aquifer. Hows that for a project? First getting the rights to the water, and then constructing a gigantic aqueduct that would have most of the world rethinking what great means. Thats great as in the Great Pyramids, which would become pretty nice pyramids, or the Great Wall of China, which would be demoted to a pretty cool wall those Chinese guys built. Almost too big to get your mind around ... if you spend most of your time in the Statehouse. But the concept is one that ought to at least be talked about. Western Kansas, always dry, is seeing the seminal underground water pool shrink ... which means less, and at some point, no water for crops, for livestock, for drinking and for flushing. Not right away, but in the foreseeable future.

Milford Council business as usual?


B Y R AYMONd C HENAULT

Special to The Daily Union

D ANIEL F INK wrote this for the Los Angeles


Times.

gg on their faces is one way to put it. Over the last four months, I have attended the Milford City Council meetings. A big item at the meetings was the insurance payments made by the city, which were not supposed to be made for the superintendent. Why didnt the City Council know from the start that insurance payments for a part time employee against their own rules? Some on the council at that time had been in office for several terms. Seems like the superintendent knew, but let it go after all it was in his favor. When the council was told by a member a few months later the insurance payments were wrong, why didnt the mayor stop the payments? Only when it was told to the public did anything happen. The superintendent was given a week to decide on his employment. Why not a day. Doesnt matter because he waited weeks to get back to the council and got his insurance wrongly paid for a couple more months. A whole year of insurance payments were wrongly paid. Anytime someone complains about something in the city, it is almost a sure thing that instead of looking into

it, some of the council or mayor goes after whoever complained. Worst case of this a couple of months ago when a citizen and council member had a long shouting match and the problem in question got set aside and the argument seemed more important. A couple on the council start wanting to circle the wagons when anybody says the slightest thing about the government. Blight has been a big issue for a couple of months and some progress has happened. A new council member has taken an interest and the mayor and city staff are doing a better job, but there is a long way to go. I suggested that the height of grass limit be dropped from 12 inches to eight inches and more or less got hooted down by some on the council. We live by a lake and next to farmland or unimproved land. This makes it more important to eliminate blight and unkept properties. We need to have things maintained so not to attract vermin. Already rats are causing damage to cars. We need to make sure vermin are not comfortable in the city. Biggest problem we have is those in the government appear to want to protect each other rather than protect those who elected them. Last month a councilman complained about another councilman giving an interview to a Daily Union reporter

and a letter printed in the paper. He said more or less that problems should have been settled in private. We all know that didnt work. In fact it encourages not playing by the rules and keeping secrets that should be public. We are supposed to have an open government without secret handshakes or problems kept in hiding. Councilmen and the mayor should tell all the truth even if the guy sitting next to him doesnt like it. Then we have an honest and open government. Several people told me that they wont attend council meetings because the council wont listen and do what they want. That is a problem that only all the taxpayers can solve. Taxpayers should come to council meetings, give their opinions, and take notes on who to vote for or at least not to vote for. Council members and the mayor are not paid and it is not an easy job. If they cant do the right thing representing all the taxpayers they shouldnt have run or be on the council. I hope the issue of the wrongly paid insurance payments which amounts to thousands of dollars will not result in the taxpayers just sucking it up and business just going on as usual.

TOPEKA Gov. Sam Brownback has named a deputy Kansas secretary of agriculture to lead the department. Brownback said in a release Monday that Jackie McClaskey will succeed Dale Rodman as secretary of the states Agriculture Department after Rodman steps down Dec. 10. McClaskey has been with the department since January 2011, when she became an assistant secretary. She was named deputy secretary of the department in July. McClaskey, who grew up on a family farm in Girard, was assistant dean of the Kansas State University College of Agriculture before joining the Agriculture

Eric Rosol, 38, of Black Creek, Wis., was sentenced in U.S. District Court for taking part in the cyber-attack on Koch Industries. He pleaded guilty earlier to a misdemeanor count of accessing a protected computer. Prosecutors agreed in Rosols plea deal to recommend a sentence at the low end of federal guidelines. Kochs website was offline for about 15 minutes during the 2011 attack organized by the hacking collective Anonymous. The parties agreed that the direct loss from the attack was less than $5,000. But Koch Industries, one of the largest private companies in the U.S., contends that when it learned of the planned attack, it hired a consulting group at a cost of $183,000 to protect its websites and, if any attack was successful, to minimize its effects, according to the plea deal. In his plea agreement, Rosol admitted that on Feb. 28, 2011, he participated for about one minute in the Dedicated Denial of Service Internet attack on the web server for Kochind.com. The indictment alleges that Anonymous asked conspirators in February 2011 to launch a cyberattack that sent a high volume of repeated requests to a Koch website. Numerous conspirators complied, and the companys website crashed. As part of his agreement with prosecutors, Rosol also agreed to forfeit the computer used in the cyberattack. He also agreed that as part of any probation he would not contact the victim or any website hosted by Koch Industries, Angel Soft or Georgia Pacific.

Family drama with the children

Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our early 80s. We have four children. John and Susan are from my first marriage. They were very young when my first husband died and I remarried. I then had Jane and Alice. On my most recent birthday, Jane took my husband and me to our favorite restaurant. Jane also invited Alice, who lives in a rental on our property. (Susan lives in another state.) Alice posted on Facebook what a nice dinner we had. The next morning, Susan called Alice at 4 a.m., screaming, Why didnt you invite John? She then proceeded to call me and scream. I was shocked. I sent her an email later and asked why she was so upset. I love John, but he has made a mess of his life. He is a bully and has had confrontations with everyone in the family. We recently found out that John molested Alice when she was 5 years old. Alice is cordial when she is forced to be around him, but John has never admitted or apologized for his actions. My older kids are not terribly reliable. We named Jane executor of our estate because Susan is a heavy pot smoker and quick-tempered, and John cannot be trusted. It breaks my heart, but thats the way it is. Susan hasnt spoken to me in months. I now believe she and John have always been jealous of my younger daughters. Even though my husband raised them all, Susan has said hurtful things about him. She also says I never wanted her. This is completely untrue. I pine for Susan every day, but I refuse to phone her because of the awful things she says to me. My husband says we only have a few years left and we should enjoy them. What do you think? Heartbroken Dear Heartbroken: It is not unusual for children, even grown ones, to harbor resentments and jealousies against younger siblings, particularly when those siblings are from a different marriage. While your older kids could have benefited from family counseling at the time, theres not much you can do about that now. We suggest you send Susan a letter or an email, simply saying that you love her and always will, that you are sorry for the rift, and that you hope someday her anger will pass. Meanwhile, please have

Alice contact RAINN (rainn. org) at 1-800-656-HOPE. Being cordial to her molester may be harder on her than you think. Dear Annie: I was taught that RSVP stands for please respond. But these days, huge organizations (often charities) send mass-mailed invitations to hundreds of people, some of whom have little connection to the group and may live so far away that it would be extraordinary if they attended. I always write a note sending my regrets, because this has been ingrained in me. But I also worry that the functionary who receives my note wonders, Who is this anachronism living in the past century? Do the charities really expect the non-attendees to RSVP that they will not be there, or do they merely seek a head count? Dont Want To Be Old-Fashioned Dear Dont: They want a head count, but an RSVP saying no is equally appropriate. And we are certain they appreciate (and marvel at) an actual handwritten response by someone who is well-mannered enough to send one. Bless your heart. Dear Annie: Please tell Polly Positive that she and her husband should attend a cancer support group. After my husband was diagnosed with cancer, we joined two cancer support groups. We get a lot of information from the survivors and are able to give advice to the newly diagnosed. I cant stress strongly enough how important support groups are. Big Cancer Support Group Advocate

Horoscope
ARIES (March 21April 19). You have mixed feelings about ceremonies. Sometimes you feel they are boring, stiff and contrived. Then again, that is precisely what makes them so memorable. So plan a bit of ceremony into your next big gathering. TAURUS (April 20May 20). You think you know right from wrong, but when you get into some of the gray areas today, youll discover that its not as clear as you thought. Your intentions are pure, but is that enough? GEMINI (May 21June 21). In the morning, youre all pleasantries and loving words, but there may be something a bit heavier to impart in the evening. Think about what you want to say first. Practice it on paper if you have to, but dont let it go unsaid! CANCER (June 22July 22). Dont let the afternoon lull hurt your overall productivity. A brisk walk is the best thing to clear the fog in your head. And if you go for longer than 20 minutes, you may even experience a spiritual high. LEO (July 23Aug. 22). You will be asked to do a job you are not yet qualified to do. This is a sign that you should consider getting new training. Investigate the need. How likely are you to get more requests like this one? VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22). Most people will do something about the suffering of others when they know it exists. But most people wont seek that kind of knowledge. You have a sixth sense about where the problems are and how you can help. LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 23). Youll feel better when things look better. The disorder in your living environment is largely the mess of other people. Even though your mess is small in comparison, clean it up, and the others will follow suit. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Through the ages, average people have experienced works of sheer brilliance and laughed. But that doesnt mean that every misunderstood work is brilliant. Interpret todays presentation with caution. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Knowing is not enough. The person who knows the path but doesnt walk it is no better off than the person who doesnt know the path. Walk the path. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You dont want to be the kind of person who avoids confrontation, so you actively seek it. For some interactions, electronic correspondence can seem cowardly. Important news is best delivered in person. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Our memories may change and fail, but for the most part, its easier to recall what really happened than it is to recall a story about what happened. Because of this, someone who lied will be caught. PISCES (Feb. 19March 20). Lead with your integrity, and youll receive hints as to the character of others. Pretty packages are not always filled with goodness. Being tasteful is not the same thing as being right or intelligent.

In addition, an anonymous shoe company is donating 200 pairs to needy children and students in the district. Superintendent Ronald Walker said he was proud of Rombolds work and believes its nice to have community support from programs such as United Way of Junction CityGeary County. Im not sure if theres a community wide effort to help homeless people, Walker said. We have a shelter, but theres far more families in need than what we have space for. According to USD 475, the numbers consist of eight pre-kindergarten students (8 percent), 49 elementary children (76 percent), 30 middle school students (19 percent) and 37 attending Junction City High School (24 percent). Rombold reported the Junction City homeless rate is 4.5 percent. Throughout the year, Rombold said she will continue her work to make sure the children have everything they need to be successful. It a very rewarding job to work with these families, because theyre always so grateful for anything that you do. at Greek Heroes. The restaurant opened about three months ago.

The district receives $18,000 annually from the McKinneyVento grant, to help these students. Rombold said that amount may increase slightly or decrease by a few hundred, in some years. But that is not enough. Rombold said the district also has to rely on Title I, federal money to meet the school-related needs of students. Board Member Brian Field said its a difficult task. Im glad to see that our district is addressing this, he said. This time of year is very difficult. For the holiday season, the district is trying to match families with social service agencies, to assist with Christmas. There are school staff people that always step up and always want to adopt families, Rombold said. Churches and programs like Shop with a Cop, have been a tremendous help for the district.

A meat smoker placed too close to a house caused significant damage to the home Wednesday evening. At about 8 p.m. Wednesday, the Junction City Fire and Police departments responded to a single-family residence at 414 W. 15th St. for a structure fire call. Junction City Fire Chief Kevin Royse said wind played a factor in starting the fire. Though there were no injuries, the house received heavy damage. It was pretty substantial, Royse said. It was estimated at about $30,000 to the structure. been looking into changing the fee collection process since last year when the auditors voiced concerns, long before the recent events surrounding Junghans were revealed.

Junction City cross country coach Becca Steiger was named Centennial League girls cross country coach of the year Monday. The award was voted on by the cross country coaches in the league. I have to give it all to the girls that ran this year because they are really the ones that ran hard and gained recognition by the public, Steiger said Monday over the phone. Its because of the girls that I was recognized. Steigers Blue Jays finished second in the Centennial League meet, where three runners, Rosie Hollis, Deisjambra Bisio and Autumn Sifuentes earned medals. Junction City then sent three runners, Hollis, Bisio and Myrissa Humphreys as individuals to the state meet. I think it brings some recognition to the efforts of our team, that were doing some really good things as a cross country program, Steiger said. And I hope that helps some new recruits see that and we keep growing and stay strong and do great next year.

The Junction City wrestling team couldve been staring at its reflection Monday night. When the Blue Jays looked across the solitary mat which sat at the center of the Shenk Gymnasium, the opponent was itself. The team held its Blue/ White meet three days before the first meet of the season for one last chance to evaluate where each wrestler is before the matches count. One of the reasons we do the blue and white is to see in real life situations how the guys are reacting, Junction City coach Bob Laster said.

LAWRENCE After the way that Kansas State ran the ball a week ago, Bill Snyder decided to make every effort to prove that the Wildcats were still a ground-andpound kind of team. No better opponent to ground and pound than its closest rival. John Hubert ran for a career-high 220 yards, Jake Waters accounted for three touchdowns and the Wildcats beat turnover-prone Kansas 31-10 on Saturday for

Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said nothing during his weekly press conference on Monday to indicate he wouldnt start Trevor Knight at quarterback Saturday at No. 6 Oklahoma State. Blake Bell started eight games this season for Oklahoma (9-2, 6-2 Big 12, but he left the Iowa State game after suffering a concussion. Stoops says he assumes Bell will be cleared for action if needed against Oklahoma State (101, 7-1). Stoops also says he feels good about how well the Sooners have moved the ball offensively with Knight at quarterback for most of the past two games. Knight played well in relief in the 48-10 win over Iowa State and as the starter in a 41-31 win at Kansas State two weeks ago.

Sooners weigh QBs for Bedlam showdown

their fifth straight win in the series. I just got through with John, and I told him how proud I was, Snyder said. Sometimes he gets caught dancing a bit, but today he didnt do that. He kept his pad level low and ran hard. Unlike last week, when the senior running back had 17 yards in a loss to Oklahoma. Last week we didnt rush the ball as well as we should of, Hubert said, so we wanted to come out and prove were still a hard-nosed team. We came out and got the job done. Hubert also had a touch-

down run for the Wildcats (7-5, 5-4), who will become the fourth school in Big 12 history to start 2-4 and reach a bowl game when it learns its destination in the coming weeks. The most likely bet is the Holiday Bowl, where Snyder has never lost. Meanwhile, Kansas (3-9, 1-8) stumbles into the offseason with its fifth straight losing record and few signs that coach Charlie Weis had made much progress in two years in charge.

A baseball official with knowledge of the deal says the Seattle Mariners are on the verge of bringing back utility man Willie Bloomquist. The person spoke on condition of anonymity on Monday because the deal is still pending a physical expected to take place later this week. Bloomquist is the Mariners first offseason signing and provides them a utility player who can play both infield and outfield positions.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. The line of demarcation might as well be the Kansas City Chiefs bye week. In the nine weeks prior to taking some time off, the Chiefs rolled to a 9-0 record, an unimaginable turnaround from a 2-14 finish a year ago. The defense was holding opponents to just 13.3 points per game, and the offense was playing nearly mistake-free football. Everything has changed in the last three weeks. After a pair of losses to the Broncos sandwiched around a heartbreaking defeat to the Chargers, the Chiefs not only have watched the AFC West lead slip away, theyve also become the first team in NFL to win its first nine games

and then lose three in a row. Its safe to say it is gutcheck time for the suddenly stumbling Chiefs. I told the team this isnt college football. This isnt the end of the season, coach Andy Reid said. Now its important that we get ourselves back and ready to go, and finish the season like were capable of doing, and our guys, coaches and players, will do that. Thats the kind of confidence that the Chiefs exuded prior to their bye week. Its the kind of confidence thats been lacking of late. Part of the reason for the abrupt turnaround in fortunes has been the schedule, which went from one of the easiest in the NFL to one of the most difficult. The Chiefs first nine games were against teams that have

a combined record of 41-67, while the Broncos and Chargers have a combined record of 25-11. That stretch earlier in the season included four straight games against lastplace teams, and six straight against teams third or fourth in their respective divisions. Only the Cowboys (7-5) and Eagles (7-5) have winning records. Kansas City has swapped out the Bills, which were quarterbacked by Jeff Tuel, for the Broncos, who are led by Peyton Manning. The Texans and quarterback Case Keenum have given way to the Chargers and Philip Rivers, who is having arguably the finest year of his career. Theyve been coming out with game plans and theyre making plays when it counts, Chiefs safety Kendrick Lewis Please see Chiefs, 3B

KANSAS CITY, Mo. It could take four to six weeks before authorities can determine how a man died after an altercation in the parking lot of Arrowhead Stadium during Kansas Citys game against Denver, police said Monday. The man was identified as Kyle A. Vanwinkle, 30, of Smithville. An examination of Vanwinkles body did not show obvious signs of trauma, Kansas City police spokesman Darin Snapp said in an emailed statement. Snapp said a man who owned a Jeep and his son returned to the vehicle during Sundays game and found a man who did not belong inside, which led to a fight between the owner and Vanwinkle. Police responded to a disturbance call in Lot A at Truman Sports Complex, where Arrowhead Stadium is located, and

Snapp said investigators are awaiting autopsy and toxicology reports before deciding whether Vanwinkles death was the result of a crime. We dont know if the person had a health condition, had a heart attack. We dont know, Snapp said Sunday. Were going to investigate this as a homicide until we hear differently.

SPORTS BAHAMAS
Continued from Page 1B
Battle 4 Atlantis. Joel Embiid came off the bench to add nine points, seven blocked shots all in the second half, and the most in a game by a Kansas reserve since at least 1995 and six rebounds. We have a long ways to go to become a good basketball team, Self said. And thats not all bad, either. We rarely have great teams in November. But were not as good as we were 17, 18 days ago. So thats a little frustrating that weve gone backwards. We didnt play well at all over here. Naadir Tharpe added 11 for the Jayhawks (6-1), who never trailed. The Jayhawks won despite Andrew Wiggins being held to six points, nearly 10 below the freshmans season average. McKenzie Moore scored 15 for UTEP (4-4), including three free throws with 6.8 seconds remaining to get the Miners within three. Justin Crosgile scored 14 points and Vince Hunter added 10 the Miners, who held Kansas to 39 percent shooting. Let me just say that we got beat by a fine team tonight, UTEP coach Tim Floyd said. And theyre going to do a lot of things, I think, in the NCAA tournament this year. It was the second straight night where Kansas saw a big early lead, 11-2 against Villanova and 15-2 against UTEP, evaporate and the game turn into a struggle. The finish was frantic, with UTEP scoring 13 points in just over a minute and carving away most of a late 14-point Jayhawk lead, but Kansas had enough. Barely, but enough. And if UTEP had been better from the line, it might have been a different story the Miners missed 10 of 24 tries from the stripe. I was real pleased with the effort, Floyd said. Kansas led by 15 in the second half, and after a series of UTEP rallies, the

Kansas Wayne Selden Jr. dribbles past UTEPs Justin Crogile in the Bahamas, Saturday.
Jayhawks were still up by 14 following Ellis jumper from the right wing with 2:21 left. It was 59-45 at that point. It was 18-8 UTEP the rest of the way, a far cry from how the Miners started the night. On UTEPs first possession, Floyd who isnt exactly shy about going against convention, with his box-andone and triangle-and-two defenses on display often in the Bahamas did something hardly ever seen anymore, especially at the start of games. He stalled, though said afterward that it wasnt a true stall, just a set with hopes of creating 3-on-2 mismatches or open drives. Think the old North Carolina four corners, or something akin to it, anyway. Thats what the Miners did in the opening minutes, running an average of 30.1 seconds off the 35-second shot clock on their first nine possessions. Simple logic, really the fewer possessions Kansas had, the fewer chances it would have to score. It only sort of worked. After 5 1/2 minutes, Kansas had only two points.

Tim Aylen Bahamas Visual Services/The Associated Press In that same span, the Miners had zero points. It was different ... but I thought we adjusted well, Ellis said. The Miners missed their first six shots and didnt get on the board until 12:35 remained in the half, a drive by C.J. Cooper snapping an 0 for 6 start by UTEP and cutting Kansas lead to 7-2. By the time UTEP scored again, Kansas had already pushed the lead out to 15-2, running off eight straight. And along the way, UTEP ditched the ploy and just started playing. Thats when it became a game, for really the first time. UTEP went on an 18-11 spurt, getting within 26-20 late in the half. Wiggins who had been scoreless until then scored six straight to give Kansas a 12-point lead with 1:30 left, and Seldens acrobatic drive gave the Jayhawks a 34-25 lead at the break. But UTEP hung around, all the way to the end. We didnt want to leave here without getting better for the rest of the season, Hunter said. I believe we did. I believe we got better, playing the No. 2 team in the country.

said. When the game is on the line, theyre making it count. That also has been true. Six of those first nine games were decided by 10 points or fewer, and the Chiefs won all of them. The last three have also been decided by 10 points or fewer, and theyve lost all of them. First came a 27-17 defeat in Denver that ruined the Chiefs perfect season, and then came a length-of-thefield drive by Rivers in the final minute to give San Diego a 41-38 victory in a game that Kansas City thought it had won after a late touchdown of its own. On Sunday, the Broncos scored 28 straight points spanning halftime to seize control, and then held on when Alex Smiths pass on fourth down into the end zone with 1:46 left fell incomplete. We just have to play ball, Chiefs safety Eric Berry said. Nobody can have their head down. It was a tough game and they happen when you play against a good football team. We just have to go in with a sense of urgency and get some things done. They might want to start with reassessing their

defense. A team that was once on pace to set an NFL record for sacks in a season with 35 through the first seven games has gotten to the quarterback just twice in the last five games. That lack of pressure has exposed a secondary that has been torched by Manning and Rivers the past few weeks. The Chiefs allowed an average of 208.3 pass yards and 326.9 total yards during their nine-game win streak, and the result was 13.3 points per game. Theyre allowing an average of 371 pass yards and 484.3 total yards during their skid, and 34.3 points per game. You know, earlier in the year we were coming out the other end of it, Smith said.

some talent, but there were things we couldve done better, said Deam, who qualified for state last season. There are things, fundamentally, we can develop. After placing second in state last season, the Blue Jays enter the 2013-14 campaign ranked second in class 6A. But the team feels positive about its prospects. Practice has been really good, said Felton. Everybodys been doing what theyre supposed to be doing, working hard, doing the conditioning right, its going good. Felton, a senior, is another state qualifier returning to the team. He said he was surprised how quickly his final year in the Blue Jay wrestling program has snuck up on him. Last year, Junction City finished undefeated in dual meets. It gets its first shot to repeat that feat Thursday.

Kansas State overpowers Central Arkansas 87-54


B Y A DaM S UDER MaN

Associated Press
MANHATTAN Bruce Weber understood his team lacked a legitimate scoring option coming into the season. Most of all, he didnt want to depend on his freshmen for production. After seeing freshmen lead in scoring in four of the first six games, Weber received a welcomed performance in which five returning players scored at least eight points. Shane Southwell scored a season-high 19 points and Thomas Gipson added 17 as Kansas State defeated Central Arkansas 87-54 in the first ever meetings between the schools. We got the ball into Thomas right away and took advantage of our size and we made some more shots, Kansas State coach Bruce Weber said. Im happy for Shane because he came into the gym and put some time in. After struggling in Puerto Rico, he got rewarded and knocked some shots down. DeShone McClure and Jalen Jackson both scored 12 points to pace the Bears (2-4), who are eligible for postseason play for the first time since their 2006 admission to the Division I ranks. It was Kansas States (4-3) best offensive performance of the season, with a seasonhigh in points and rebounds (52). The performance on the glass was the best for the Wildcats since its Nov. 18, 2012 matchup against North Florida where they tallied 54 rebounds. We have put a lot of time in rebounding since the beginning of the year, Weber said. Weve probably put even more emphasis the last couple weeks since weve been a little bullied on

cess, the Blue Jay wrestlers know the team is a long way from achieving its goals for the season. We have potential and all, but potential doesnt mean nothing, Deam said. Weve got to practice hard, stay together and live up to that potential.

the boards. Hopefully its paying off a little bit. In its first home game after a seventh-place finish in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off, momentum was never in question for Kansas State. After opening on a 12-2 run, the Wildcats never saw their lead fall underneath double digits and pushed it to as many as 23 points in the first half. We expected a run and I thought theyd shoot the ball a little bit better than theyve been shooting it, Central Arkansas coach Clarence Finley said. Theyve been struggling with their outside shot and I should have probably started zone. Kansas States undersized frontline dominated the Bears on the boards by holding a 27-13 advantage 14 on the offensive end. Southwell paced the Wildcats with 10 first half points while DJ Johnson added eight of his 10 total rebounds. Second-half adjustments werent effective for the Bears as the Wildcats opened on an 11-4 run by scoring 10 of those points in the paint. We know they were going to get second and third shots because we dont block out as well in the zone, Finley said. In the man-to-man, we tried to double down on the post, Gipson. He got it off quick before we could get into our double down.

also threw a pick. The Jayhawks also fumbled twice for a season-high six turnovers. When you turn it over 100 times the chance you have to come back in a game like that just goes out the window, said Weis, who only allowed two players seniors Dexter Linton and Gavin Howard to speak to reporters after the game. Waters finished with 160 yards passing, including touchdown throws to Zach TrujilloandGlennGronkowski. Waters also ran for a TD while playing almost the entire way, even in a stiff breeze, as run-first quarterback Daniel Sams watched from the Kansas State sideline. Dante Barnett had two interceptions and recovered a fumble for the Wildcats, while Dylan Schellenberg had a pick and also recovered a fumble while playing for injured safety Ty Zimmerman. James Sims had 22 carries for 82 yards in his final game for Kansas. Last week, the senior became the first player in school history with back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons. Hes probably one of the better running backs to ever come through, and because the team hasnt won many games hell be underappreciated, Weis said. I feel bad for him. The 112th edition of the Sunflower Showdown went very much like the last four editions. Kansas State needed just three plays to get on the board first. Waters found Trujillo down the seam on an option-pass, and the big tight end rumbled untouched 35 yards for the touchdown. After the Wildcats forced a punt, it took four more plays to score again. This time, it was Hubert finding a crease and running nearly untouched 21 yards for the

score. Kansas State made it 21-0 moments later when Waters hit his big fullback, Gronkowski, on a 29-yard catch-and-run that closely resembled Trujillos touchdown catch. If there was any electricity in Memorial Stadium, it was gone by that point.

Heaps, took over for the ineffective Cozart, finally got Kansas going when he threw an 11-yard TD pass to Jimmay Mundine on fourthand-2 in the second quarter. Then the Jayhawks took advantage of a fumble on the ensuing kickoff to tack on a short field goal.
