Dont miss breaking news on our website and Facebook page. If you didnt go to www.YourDU. net, you missed this story posted Friday afternoon, just minutes after learning of the death of a prominent Junction City resident. Former Central National Bank of Junction City President Larry Paquette died Thursday night after suffering from recent health problems. Larry was very active in the community, Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce Activities Director Nikki Davies said. He was an Old Trooper. He was very, very active with the Military Affairs Council, I believe the United Way and a lot of civic boards. Military Affairs Council Director and retired Col. John Seitz said Paquette was a legitimate supporter of the community, Fort Riley soldiers and military families. Seitz said few people still devote as much time as Paquette did to supporting their communities. Were running out of those people, he said. Paquette retired from Central National Bank about a year ago.

Creating a comprehensive plan is a long and detailed process. When finished, the plan will be a guide for the Junction City and Geary County commissions as they develop policies with community priorities for land zoning, growth and development improvements in mind. Area stakeholders, Junction City officials, Geary County officials and several members of the public met Wednesday and Thursday in the basement of the municipal building to discuss the ongoing process of putting together the Junction City-Geary County Comprehensive Plan. The meetings were a workshop
for residents to share their opinions and ideas on what the plan should include. On Friday, Junction City-Geary County Planning and Zoning Director David Yearout said the workshop sessions went very well and had good turnouts. It achieved what it was intended to do, which was to give the opportunity for the larger community to not only see what is being discussed, but also to share their thoughts and comments on what they believe are issues (in community development), he said. One of the issues brought up was what the city should do about the many vacant lots and lots with unoccupied housing on Junction Citys west side, which Yearout said wasnt a surprise.
Other ideas that were shared included how Junction City can focus on creating more job opportunities and how more development is needed in specific areas. Those things were discussed, identified, included in what was processed and are clearly a part of the plan and will be included in what we do going forward, Yearout said. At Wednesdays session, people put their heads together and made their suggestions to RDG Planning and Design, the company coordinating the effort, for what theyd like to see included in the plan. During Thursdays session, RDG presented where they were in the plan design process and invited more feedback and direcPlease see Plan, 10A

MILFORD Officials may have heard for the last time from former City Council member Jim Talley on the issue of a part-time city employee receiving health insurance benefits for which he didnt qualify. On Thursday, Talley spoke to current council members about city superintendent Randy Colp receiving about $12,000 in benefits from September 2012 to September 2013. Talley said hes grown tired of speaking about what he calls misappropriated funds only to receive what in his view are unsatisfying responses from Mayor Brad Roether and some council members. Im sure most of you are tired of listening, Talley said to the council. But Talley continB RAD ued with several quesR OEtHER tions. He asked Roether why steps werent taken to stop Colps benefits from being paid in February when the situation first was brought to light. I consulted the City Council (at the time), Roether said. They approve all the bills every month. Thats true, Talley said. We were stupid. Heck, it was right before our eyes and we all overlooked it. Roether declined to comment further on the issue following Thursdays meeting. Milford policy states only employees working more than 37.5 hours per week which is full-time status for a city employee qualify for insurance. Talley has said he should have followed up after the issue was addressed in February. But he figured it would have been addressed. Talley again mentioned Colps health insurance benefits at the City Councils May meeting. City Councilman Doug Kneisl Please see Milford, 10A

As people seldom get to sing in a public setting anymore the age-old carols and traditional songs that tell about the true meaning of the Christmas season, on Friday evening, Dec. 20, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The Junction City/Fort Riley congregation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) will host a family
and community fellowship. The Carol Fest will begin at 6:30 p.m. with a performance by a costumed group of traditional 19th Century carolers. They will present a selection of favorite Christmas songs along with the history behind them. Following this a childrens chorus from the church and/ or
other interested groups can perform interspersed with carol-singing together by the crowd. Plenty of hot cocoa and Christmas cookies will be provided free of charge to help ward off the evenings chill. However, all who attend do need to dress warmly and perhaps blankets or lawn chairs would assure warm seating also.
In case of serious stormy weather the event will be cancelled. Should this be necessary, it will be announced that day on KJCK radio. For more information, or if you have additional questions please do not hesitate to contact Gaylynn Childs, Carol Fest program coordinator, at (785) 762-5188.

He covered civil rights marches, political campaigns and conventions, and the Watergate scandal that destroyed Nixons presidency.
NEWS TO KNOW
CENTENNIAL, Colo. A suburban Denver student shot two other students at a high school Friday before he apparently killed himself, authorities said. Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson said the shooter entered Arapahoe High School in Centennial armed with a shotgun and looking for a teacher he identified by name. The teacher immediately left the school when he learned the student was looking for him, Robinson said. The shooter then shot two students, one of whom is in serious condition at a hospital. The other is also hospitalized, with a minor gunshot wound. It was initially believed the student in serious condition confronted the shooter, but Robinson now says that wasnt clear. Robinson said the student is believed to have acted alone. Authorities also found a possible Molotov cocktail at the scene and are examining the device. The school is about 8 miles east of Columbine High School in Littleton, where two teenage shooters killed 12 classmates and a teacher before killing themselves in 1999. The shooting also came a day before the first anniversary of the school massacre in Newtown, where a gunman killed 20 children and

six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Tracy Monroe, who had step-siblings who attended Columbine, was standing outside the high school looking at her phone, reading text messages from her 15-yearold daughter inside. Monroe said she got the first text from her daughter, sophomore Jade Stanton, at 12:41 p.m. The text read, theres sirens. Its real. I love you A few minutes later, Jade texted shots were fired in our school. Monroe rushed to the school and was relieved when Jade texted that a police officer entered her classroom and that she was safe. Monroe was family friends with a teacher killed in the Columbine shooting, Dave Carpenter. We didnt think it could happen in Colorado then, either, Monroe said. Police were outside the school, and students were seen walking toward the schools running track with their hands in the air. Television footage showed students being patted down. More than 2,100 students attend Arapahoe High School where nine out of 10 graduates go on to college, according to the Littleton Public Schools website. that Malian soldiers did shoot, that is absolutely unacceptable, Ladsous said. Residents of the troubled northern city of Kidal have said soldiers fired on a demonstration at the local airfield Nov. 28. The demonstrators had gathered to protest the arrival of Prime Minister Oumar Tatam Ly on an official visit. The residents said five people were hurt. Ladsous said U.N. police and French troops had ordered the crowd to disperse. A Malian army commander last month disputed residents accounts of the shooting.

nity amounts to encouragement for more attacks. Deloire said 88 journalists were killed in connection with their work last year a record since the organization started keeping count in 1995. The British ambassador to the U.N., Mark Lyall Grant, told the chamber, This is not just an issue for media, its an issue for all of us. The proposal to have deliberate attacks on journalists defined as war crimes was one of the most striking brought up Friday especially with the prosecutor of the ICC, Fatou Bensouda, as one of the speakers. Deloire spoke after her, however. One of the meetings hosts, the Guatemalan ambassador, said the war crimes idea has merit, especially with many attacks on journalists occurring in states where the judicial system has collapsed. Its very interesting, which we probably would support if it were put on the table, Gert Rosenthal said. Guatemala this year ranks 95th on Reporters Without Borders Press Freedom Index, four spots above Mali. France ranks 37th, the United Kingdom 29th and the United States 32nd. Participants in Fridays meeting asked what more the Security Council could do to not only protect journalists but condemn rights abuses against them.

uiet, unassuming, intelligent, pensive, observant, strong and giving. Those are just some of the descriptive words that come to mind upon hearing the name Larry Paquette. He also was a cancer survivor, a former local bank leader, a huge supporter of soldiers and Fort Riley and a champion of Geary Community Hospital among many other things. Larry, who had battling many health issues the past several months, died Thursday night. There is no doubt his death is a great loss to the Junction City area community. Larry was a regular attendee at Military Affairs Council breakfasts, which is where many of us saw him the most. With his wife Ligia by his side, the pair was welcoming to all. There was never a time I saw them that they didnt ask how things were going and making sure I was enjoying my time in Junction City. While not shocking due to his recent health problems, hearing of his passing yesterday morning was saddening. Upon hearing of the loss, I immediately remembered a golf fundraising event this past summer in L ISA which was held in his honor as a S EISER cancer survivor. It was a small event, but it was very special to meet most of the Paquette family that day. Ligia and Larry treated us all as though we were part of their family, too. As always, Larry was quiet and appeared humbled by the fact that the tournament was named for him. He was brief in his comments, thanking those in attendance, but also reminding people there are so many people who have battled cancer and continue to do so. His comments that day to me were 100 percent Larry quiet, unassuming, intelligent, pensive, observant, strong and giving. We here at The Daily Union thank Larry for all his efforts to make Junction City a better place. His contributions will not be forgotten.
ne hundred years ago in America, Christmas was a mighty different situation. Based on newspaper reports, MyHeritage.com recently put together a list of the most-askedfor gifts by children who lived back then. Here are the top five requests: Candy. Nuts. Rocking Horse. Doll. Mittens. Its a modest list, to say the least, but reflective of a time that was far less complicated than society is today. Now, kids rule in many homes. And Santa is under siege. This year, the top five kid-wants according to retailers are: Furby Boom. Teksta Robotic Puppy. LeapPad Ultra. Flutterbye Flying Fairy. Big Hugs Elmo. Lets begin with Furby. This is a robot toy that resembles an owl. The all new Furby has a mind of his own and can interact with the tykes. Lets hope Furby isnt a member of the Hells Angels. The Teksta puppy is allegedly just like a real dog except there is no bathroom component. Teksta will dance and respond to your hand gestures not including the middle finger. The puppy can even perform back flips that will amuse and amaze. I guess.

he Geary Community Hospital staff is deeply saddened by the death of our champion and friend Larry Paquette. Larry, more than any other trustee in the last 20 years, has had the biggest leadership role and influence on Geary Community Hospital. He served as a trustee for 16 years: 1993-2001 and 2002-2010. He was chairman of the board from 2003-2008, and again from 2009-2010, when he retired for the second time. While he was chairman, he influenced and supported all the major building projects, most of them under the leadership of CEO David Bradley (tenure 1995-2012), which included the $4.5 million ER and Outpatient Expansion in 1994; a new $2.5 million Martha K. Hoover Womens Health Center in 1996; the remodeling for the new Fred C. Bramlage Inpatient Rehab Unit and the new Senior Health Center in 1997; a surgery expansion in 1997; the purchase of 1310 W. Ash and the start-up of the Home Medical Equipment store; the new Medical Arts II in 2004; the center core remodeling and addition of the fourth floor to the Medical Arts II in 2006; and his proudest achievement the building of the new $34 million Western Addition in 2009. Larry brought a great deal of financial expertise to the table. He had an excellent understanding of hospital financials. Staff remembers him as always being open to new ideas, a kind and sympathetic man, and for attending every hospital event, open house, physician recruitment dinner and anything else asked of him. He will always be remembered as our champion. This is indeed a very sad day.
ewt Gingrich has been right about very few things during a long political career of hypocrisy, duplicity, narcissism and devotion to the no-holds-barred tactics of bombthrowing and hyper-partisanship. But ever alert to political trends, he was right about this much: He openly opposed South Africas apartheid government back in the 1980s, and he tried to persuade Ronald Reagan to support the stiff sanctions that finally helped to topple the hateful regime. Gingrich understood that the Republican Party would not be well served if it continued to be identified as a defender of South Africas pariah government. When Reagan vetoed legislation that imposed harsh economic penalties against the Pretoria regime, Gingrich helped to lead an effort to override the veto and impose sanctions. Still, Gingrich has been as guilty as any Republican of using the 21st-century version of the Southern strategy to appeal to the least progressive members of the GOP base. So he shouldnt be surprised that his recent praise of Nelson Mandela was met with harsh responses by so many of his fans on the right. The Republican Party has a huge race problem one that once again broke into the open in the aftermath of the extraordinary South Africans death. American conservatives still find it difficult to celebrate the life of a man who stood against white supremacy. While several Republican politicians were laudatory when reflecting on Mandelas life, other conservatives were ambivalent. Bill OReilly claimed that Mandela was a great man but also insisted he was a communist. (South Africas

Boy Scouts from Troop 41, recently participated as victims in a recent emergency readiness exercise held at Fort Riley. The scouts who volunteered to be victims, were made up using moulage kits by emergency responders to look like badly injured victims. Some had fake blood or broken bones sticking out of horrific wounds. The scouts provided the emergency responders with realistic training in providing first aid while the scouts had a great time moaning, and calling out for help as victims.

tion from the public. We are addressing what the community is feeling needs to be discussed, Yearout said. RDG also felt the sessions went well, Yearout said. They were very happy with both the turnout and with the responses and participation of everyone, he said. The entire purpose behind the exercise and what was done was to reach out to the community and try to be a little more visible of what it is that weve got going on and, to that end, I think we achieved what we were after. RDG began working with the city and county on the plan this summer. Yearout said the process should be completed in about a year. This is one part of a long process, he said. appears to be similar to a string of investigations conducted by the FBI since the Sept. 11, 2001, attack. The FBI sting operations have prompted controversy over whether the law enforcement tactics involved entrapment of suspects and intruded on civil liberties.

CHAPMAN Hang in there and stay hungry, Doug Thompson said after discussing his new grocery store. Well get it sooner or later. Thompson, the stores developer, provided a brief update on the new facility, which will probably save residents trips from leaving town to fill up their refrigerators. So far, all of the heating
and air conditioning units are purchased and ready to be installed. Thompson said a lease agreement has been sent to the company set to operate the store. I dont want to tell you their name yet because the lease has not been signed, Thompson told the Chapman City Council and audience Wednesday night. But he revealed that the Chapman store would be their 12th operation in small towns across Kansas didnt qualify for the benefits because of his parttime status. However, he said he had initiated a conversation with Roether when the issue first came up and never heard an answer. In August, Colp signed paperwork to end his city benefits.

Junction Citys JaMale Morrow (25) shoots over Lawrence Highs Fred Brou on Dec. 6.
Wide receiver Chad Hall and defensive tackle Jerrell Powe are probably getting used to signing and getting released by the Kansas City Chiefs. Hall was signed by the Chiefs again on Friday after recently being let go. He was claimed off waivers from San Francisco on Sept. 1 and played in eight games, catching one pass for nine yards, before he was released. Powe, the Chiefs sixth-round pick in the 2011 draft, was released to make room for Hall. Powe also was released before the start of this season, and then rejoined the team on Dec. 3. Hes played in only 10 games and made six tackles in roughly two seasons in the league.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. The Kansas City Chiefs will be missing their starting left tackle, top tight end, leading pass rusher and now potentially their most dangerous punt returner for Sundays game at Oakland. Dexter McCluster, who has already brought back two punts for touchdowns this season, was listed as questionable Friday for the Raiders game after a small cut on his ankle that he picked up in the mud and snow last week against Washington got infected. The Chiefs were already preparing to play without left tackle Branden Albert (hyperextended knee), tight end Anthony Fasano (concussion) and linebacker Justin Houston (dislocated elbow). Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder said Friday that an MRI and X-rays on McClusters ankle showed no structural damage. But swabs taken at the infection site have not been analyzed, and Burkholder said the big question is Does he have MRSA? and we dont know that yet. MRSA is a potentially deadly strain of staph infection that is resistant to antibiotics and recently generated headlines when an infection hit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers locker room earlier this season. Offensive lineman Carl Nicks, kicker Lawrence Tynes and cornerback Johnthan Banks all were diagnosed with it. After initially treating his infection with antibiotics, Nicks developed a recurrence and needed surgery. Tynes was put on the non-football injury list, while Banks was not sidelined. He had a very minor procedure where they opened up the wound, cleaned it out, got him on IV antibiotics and he was released today, Burkholder said. He still has a chance to play on Sunday because it is basically a laceration that he had an infection in. Burkholder acknowledged, though, that we dont have all Please see McCluster, 3B

Kansas Wesleyan officials say a new athletic complex will be built in phases over several years, with the first phase scheduled to begin Jan. 9 with demolition of the universitys current stadium. Wesleyan president Matthew Thompson said Wednesday that funds raised so far will cover more than half of the estimated $7.5 million project, including all the first phase, which will include construction of turf football and soccer fields, a running track, lights for the fields and resurfacing tennis courts. Temporary seating and other amenities will be built for the 2014 football season. The first phase is expected to cost from $4 million to $5 million, Thompson said. The new stadium will be constructed during the second phase, which is scheduled to begin next November. The field house will be constructed during the third phase, The Salina Journal reported (http://bit. ly/1jWOpfa ). The executive committee of the universitys board of trustees recently approved the phased approach, based on timing and funding, Thompson said. Wesleyan has been raising funds for the project for about five years. It initially was conceived as a $12 million project, but was scaled back to $7.5 million when Thompson was named president in the spring. University officials dont want to borrow money to complete the project, Thompson said. We thought that wasnt the prudent thing to do, he said. We thought it was more responsible to get back to using the fields and then finish the fundraising and build the stadium next year. Wesleyan has until October 2014 to finish raising the funds needed to get a matching grant from the Mabee Foundation, which in early November pledged $750,000 if the university could raise $6.75 million by Oct. 8, 2014.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. The Kansas City Royals might have found their answer at second base. The Royals and veteran Omar Infante reached a tentative agreement on a fouryear contract Friday night, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the contract. The deal was first reported by Fox Sports. Royals general manager Dayton Moore has said throughout the offseason that upgrading at second base was a priority. Kansas City used six players at the position last season, though none

did enough to make the Royals feel comfortable moving forward. Infante, who turns 32 on Dec. 26, would stabilize second base in Kansas City for the first time in years. He hit .318 with 10 homers and 51 RBIs in 118 games for Detroit last season. Infante received substantial interest from the New York Yankees, who were seeking a replacement for Robinson Cano. But the Yankees were hesitant to give Infante more than three years, and the Royals decided to give the versatile infielder an extra year to help consummate the deal. The Royals signed left-hander Jason Vargas to a $32 million, four-year deal in November to help replace Ervin Santana, who is likely to sign elsewhere in free agency. The deals for Vargas and Please see Royals, 4B

the cultures back. McCluster is the Chiefs thirdleading receiver with 46 catches for 438 yards and a touchdown, but his real value comes on special teams. He set a franchise record with 177 yards in punt returns last week against the Redskins, including a 74-yard return for a touchdown. He needs just 10 yards in punt returns to break Tamarick Vanovers franchise record of 640 yards set during the 1999 season. His 54 returns this season are also second-most in Chiefs history. Chiefs coach Andy Reid said that Chad Hall, who was signed on Friday after recently getting released, could return punts if McCluster is unable to play against Oakland. Defensive back Quintin Demps, who also returns kicks, could be another option.
Well, Dexter is not out, but Chad can do that, yes, Reid said. You have Chad and Quintin that can do it. Chad has been working it the whole time as has Quintin so well just see how that goes. Albert, who is the Chiefs franchise player, will miss his second straight game after hurting his left knee two weeks ago against Denver. Donald Stephenson will start at left tackle in his place. Fasano will also miss his second straight game after his head slammed into the turf against while trying to make a catch against the Broncos. Houston will be sidelined for the third straight week after he dislocated his right elbow in the first half against San Diego on Nov. 24. Theyre making progress, in particular the last two, Reid said of the three other injured starters. They worked out all week and did a pretty good job during the workouts, working with the scout team, but theyre not quite ready yet.

part that I liked, Junction City coach Nate Parks said on his radio spot following the game. The second and third quarter is what hurt us. Sophomore Kealee Rains sank a big three-point shot as the third period wound down before knocking down a pair of free throws to bring the deficit to 48-37 early in the fourth. Rains finished the game with 10 points. Sophomore AKia Fain then went to work. She scored nine of her 10 points in the fourth quarter after deferring for most of the game. Were all trying to establish our roles and shes trying to learn that shes one of the leaders on the team,

Parks said. So before the fourth quarter she might have to start looking to shoot first and pass second. The scoring drought from Fain early in the game came as a surprise as she scored 21 in the Blue Jays previous outing. Junction City opened the game on a 6-2 run fueled by the of strong play by senior Kori Kamm. She led the Blue Jays with 17 points on the night. But Great Bend came back with an 8-2 run of its own to close the first quarter and never relinquished the lead. Meanwhile, foul trouble dogged Junction City for the second consecutive game. Four Blue Jays picked up at least four fouls by the end of the game. Parks said it was one of those things where you arent going to always receive the calls playing on the road. Were trying a defense where were being more aggressive and the girls havent had a lot of experience doing that, He said. Were trying just for now to play aggressive, just not with our hands. Senior Shadaja Gamble scored six and junior Cassidy Meadows added five points in the game. Parks said once his team gains more experience playing his aggressive defense, its offense will feed off of it. Junction City (1-1) travels to Dodge City today for its second game of the weekend. One of the things I told the girls to do is not let this loss carry over, Parks said.

ROYALS
Continued from Page 1B
Infante push the notoriously frugal Royals beyond $90 million in payroll for next season a club record, assuming they dont make any moves to trim salary. Moore has said he expects payroll to be about the same as last season, which was roughly $82 million. But hes also said the Royals can be flexible if the right opportunity arises. Infante played all of his games at second base for
Detroit last season, but the former All-Star also has logged significant time at shortstop and third base while playing a bit in the outfield. Hell play the majority of his time at second base in Kansas City, where Emilio Bonifacio, Jamey Carroll, Chris Getz, Johnny Giavotella, Elliot Johnson and Miguel Tejada each tried to fill in last season. They combined to hit .243 with just four home runs. The fallback plan for the Royals was to go into next season with Bonifacio as
their primary second baseman, but hell likely become a utilityman now. The Royals are certainly familiar with Infante from having watched him play for their AL Central rival Detroit. Infante came up with the Tigers in 2002, and then was traded to the Cubs and Braves before landing back in Detroit two years ago, when he helped the Tigers win an American League pennant. Infante is batting .279 with 74 homers and 421 RBIs over his 12-year career. Hes never played more than 149 games in a season,
and missed more than a month last year with an ankle injury that occurred when the Blue Jays Colby Rasmus slid aggressively into his leg.

Dear Annie: Frustrated in South Dakota was concerned about the dearth of sex in his marriage, saying his wife has no sex drive. You rightfully suggested she talk to her doctor to see whether there is something they could do to remedy the problem. However, when you write that intimacy is important, but it isnt everything, I think youve missed the point about sexless marriage: Its entirely possible to be in a committed relationship without sex, but its incredibly important to keep the intimacy alive in other ways. People sometimes identify the act of sex as the only validation of love and caring between a couple, but there are other love acts that have a bigger impact on a relationship, like hugging and touching and kissing. My husbands libido took a nosedive several years ago, and it was a rough period for me because I am 13 years younger and had just hit my sexual prime. It took some adjusting of mindset, but when I realized that the other good stuff wasnt going out the window, things suddenly werent as bad as I thought. I do miss the incredible intimacy that sex brings, but I also love the fact that I get sweet, sometimes passionate kisses. Then theres the romantic act of hand-holding (even in public!) and hugging. And that makes all the difference. So, Frustrated, find different ways to enjoy that intimacy with your wife. Learning Curve Dear Learning: We agree that there are many ways to show intimacy, but it requires the cooperation of both partners. Our readers had a lot to say on this subject. Read on for more: From New York: Perhaps Frustrated could suggest to his wife that oneway pleasure is a possible, if occasional, solution to their mismatched libidos. If you love someone, you can enjoy giving pleasure without expecting anything in return. Boston: My wife and I were experiencing the lack of desire for frequent intimacy until we went to a homeopathic practitioner and received supplements to her diet that corrected some hormone levels. Happily, one of the benefits was improved libido, and we are now happy, happy, happy. Florida: Frustrated complains that he has sex with his extremely attractive wife maybe once every two weeks.

I say: What are you complaining about? There are far too many of us on the opposite end of the spectrum who would gladly trade places with him. Im 45, shes 43 and still hot, but its been years since weve had sex. Ive tried everything except couples counseling (she wont go). Im in decent physical shape, have a well-paying job and do my share in taking care of the children and the house. However, all romance, intimacy, handholding, kissing and physical contact are initiated by me and are rebuffed too often for me to make further attempts. Apparently, watching 15 hours of television every week is more important to her than an hour of intimacy once a month. Texas: Agreed, intimacy isnt everything. However, I believe intimacy is the foundation of a marriage and should not be minimized. I feel his pain. My relationship with my wife of 30 years is very similar. My advice is: If this is a deal breaker, then divorce is the only real answer. Rejection from the wife you love and cherish is beyond painful. You can concentrate on the many other good qualities in your relationship, but the sad reality is, it can be empty and unfulfilling without intimacy. Intimacy starts at the kitchen table or maybe with a phone conversation. A connection must be made. Counting how many times in a month you have sex is not intimacy.

Horoscope
ARIES (March 21 April 19). Misery may love company, but it also will slowly devour it if given the chance. Stay away from miserable people, and if you feel low, be sure to hang around someone more upbeat. TAURUS (April 20 May 20). You cant always choose your neighbors, but you can get in the ballpark by choosing your neighborhood. Use this as a metaphoric guideline as you move into a new area of interest today. GEMINI (May 21 June 21). Some people enjoy talking about subjects they know little about. Humor them if you can. It may help to think of them as performance artists working for your casual acceptance, which means more than you know. CANCER (June 22 July 22). Is it still awkward for you to tell people what you do? Thats because youve been through so many incarnations that youre always catching up to who you are now. LEO (July 23 Aug. 22). Its good that your friends arent all like you. A diverse team helps you get through life gracefully. Often the best solution to your problem comes from a lazy person who doesnt want to work so hard for results. VIRGO (Aug. 23 Sept. 22). Youll be meeting new people, some of whom youre not so sure about. Once you laugh honestly and truly laugh the relationship is on. You love a person who can make you laugh. LIBRA (Sept. 23 Oct. 23). Youre good at loving but are not always as good at letting yourself be loved. Instead of wasting time trying to figure out why this is, challenge yourself to accept someones adoration. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 Nov. 21). Find fast-talking company, and get into the mix. How will you keep your tongue sharp and your wit quick if you dont work it out every once in a while by sparring with a worthy partner? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 Dec. 21). Shakespeare wrote that the course of true love never did run smooth, and yet if he could see your experience on this day, he might rethink the notion. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 Jan. 19). Youll be attuned to the energy that people put out, and youll understand much about them by quietly taking in what they project. But at the end of the day, youll make a deal in terms quite tangible. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 Feb. 18). There is some tricky business ahead of you. Ask your friends whether they think you need more input. Their answers will surprise you. PISCES (Feb. 19 March 20). Infatuation is blind, but not love. Love sees the whole array of good, bad, beautiful and ugly. It knows the spectrum and out of sheer grace chooses to focus on the good and beautiful.

Museum Musings
Tis the Season words we all hear frequently during the Holidays. This too familiar phrase is applied to snow, shopping, the holiday spirit, the flu, and sometimes, as any police officer will tell you, crime. During the holidays the rate of theft and other crimes rises because the level of desperation people feel increases with the pressure to buy, buy, buy. Littered across the papers from previous Christmases are articles on the crime that increases this time of year. While searching our news scrapbooks for interesting articles I came across several that just made me shake my head and sigh. On Dec. 14, 1959 a leather bag containing $600 to $700 was stolen from the Flame Club. Right below that is an article from Dec. 15, 1959. This one stated that someone broke into the pool hall and pried open the back of the music box then the coin box within stealing all the quarters. Next to those is an article also from the 15th about four teens who stole ten cases of Ice Cream Bars, something I know we all want in December. These same youths admitted to stealing a blinker light owned by the state highway commission, and admitted to two separate thefts of beer. After being thoroughly depressed by these articles I turned the page only to discover more articles of the crimes committed during the 1959 holiday season. After reading about multiple fires, not all crimes but still equally depressing, I came across an encouraging story.
Toys which Junction City firemen have repaired and repainted were being distributed by the Salvation Army to the parents of children who will receive them as Christmas gifts. Capt. Carl Amick, Salvation Army officer, said approximately 250 children will receive gifts because of the generous response of the community and the efforts of the city firemens services. At the left is Heath Howery, assistant chief, and Delbert Johnson, chairman of the Salvation Army Advisory board is at the right.
Couched at the bottom of the page amidst the stories of burglary, fires, arrests, and stolen hubcaps was the article that caught my attention. Wallet is Returned, is the simple, small headline of this article. It seems on Dec. 21 a woman shopping downtown for Christmas lost her wallet. According to the article, the wallet contained $19 and some papers. While this may not seem like a major loss to some of us now, $19 bought a lot more in 1959 and the woman was distressed to discover it missing. Luckily for the owner, the wallet was quickly recovered. It seems that Leslie Chaves discovered the wallet while shopping downtown, and being an honest young man of seven he gave it to his mother who turned it in. The police returned the wallet to its owner that afternoon. The paper commented on this charity stating, Its the Christmas season and its appropriate that ones faith in his fellow man should be restored. After reading only one charitable article in two pages for Dec. 1959 I was starting to feel like maybe kindness is appropriate but rarely shown. I turned the page again and instead of depressing articles about fires and robberies was a large, front page picture about the Salvation Army Christmas toy drive. The photo shows a row of bicycles restored and painted by the firemen of Junction City with four men in the background behind a table piled with toys. This is what Tis the season should refer to. For years now the Salvation Army and other community groups have collected toys for the needy families in Geary County and beyond. This picture is repeated over the next several years as the generosity of people and the fire department was documented. Back then it wasnt only new toys that were collected; toys and bikes that had already had one child love and use them were repaired and painted by the fire department and made new for another child to cherish. This tradition continues today in Geary County. While the toys are usually brand new the sentiment hasnt changed. This is the time of year, the season, when people give generously to others by providing toys and food for those that cannot supply it themselves. So the lesson from going through the scrapbooks is that while crime may rise this time of year it is thankfully balanced out by the good deeds people do for each other. Note: dont forget you can accomplish your good deed this year by donating a toy for the Annual Toy Run. There are drop offs for these toys at the Geary County Historical Society and City Cycle Sales.

AP Television Writer
NEW YORK Netflix, which didnt exist as an original television programming source until last year, snagged six Golden Globe nominations on Thursday more than stalwarts ABC, CBS and NBC. HBO led all TV networks with nine nominations. Starz and Showtime joined Netflix with six each while CBS and NBC each had five and ABC had four. Netflixs political series House of Cards earned a nomination for best TV drama, while Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright were nominated for their acting in the series. With the release of its inaugural season in February, House of Cards represented Netflixs first major foray into TV programming. It also earned an Emmy nomination earlier this year, but Netflix is still searching for its first award. Another Netflix series, Orange is the New Black, earned Taylor Schilling a nomination for best drama actress. Finally, Jason Bateman earned a comedy nomina-

tion for the Netflix remake of Arrested Development. (The first Netflix original series, Lilyhammer, debuted in 2012.) Starting with HBO a decade ago and continuing with AMC and now non-network programming services, the industry is learning that reputations can be built quickly on the basis of one or two strong shows, said David Bianculli, a former TV critic and professor of television at New Jerseys Rowan University. Everyone thinks they can get in the game now, Bianculli said. Everyone thinks they can win the World Series of Poker. The true measure for Netflix will be if they can sustain the initial success with additional programs and also if they can show what kind of impact their shows have had beyond critics; you cant find out how many people watched House of Cards like you can know how many people see Scandal each week, for example, he said. The Golden Globes set up a potential victory lap for the well-regarded final season of Breaking Bad, which was nominated for best drama series and earned Bryan Cranston a nod for best actor.

Nearly three years after its debut, DC Comics is pushing its New 52 five years into the future with writers Jeff Lemire, Keith Giffen, Brian Azzarello and Dan Jurgens to examine how heroes change with the passing of time and technology. The weekly title, The New 52: Futures End, debuts on Free Comic Book Day in May with a free zero issue, with the first issue of series hitting shelves and digital storefronts later that month. It is the second such weekly book for DC in 2014. The other, Batman: Eternal, launches in the spring as DC celebrates Batmans 75th anniversary. Just look at the talent roster thats been gathered. 3x5.5 8/13/02 4:41 PM Page 1 How could you not want to be a part of that? asked Giffen, who did layouts for DCs weekly comic series 52 in 2006.

Hints about the series have been dropped by DC in recent weeks, with images of Batman Beyond online as well as a mention in the DC All Access web series that saw a pair of logo designs dubbed Five Years Later. Lemire calls the new weekly series an exploration of DCs past, present and its future. Really, what were trying to do with this book is to explore the nature of what a hero is and were doing that, obviously by playing with the future of the New 52 timeline, he said. Past present and future all colliding in this story line. That means exploring the past with a character like Frankenstein, the present with Firestorm and the future with Batman Beyond who is, Lemire said, making what is his first incontinuity appearance. Hell become part of the New 52. Those three, however, are not the only characters who
will have a place in the series. Thats definitely one of our mandates, too, Lemire said. To create new characters and new concepts that will hopefully have a life beyond the series. Artists on the series include Ethan Van Sciver, drawing the zero issue, along with Jesus Merino, Aaron Lopresti and Jurgens, among others who will be added as the series goes from one issue to the next, every week. The writers, all of whom have deep and historical ties to DC Entertainment and its roster of heroes and villains, have been working to craft a story that focuses on the past, present and future that will have implications across the DC universe, says Lemire, calling it a high concept work. The cast is quite large, he said. They are three of many that are getting a significant amount of time in the series.

ur annual Winter Reading Program for Adults will begin on Jan. 6. This will be a great opportunity to read those books youve been putting off because of hectic holiday preparations, or it will be the perfect time to delve into books that youve received as gifts. You will have until March 2 to read, record, and then receive prizes for the number of books that you complete. The rules for Winter Reading are simple. Any book that you read (print or ebook) or listen to (audiobooks) counts toward your reading goals. Prizes will be awarded to you after you have read and recorded four, six, and eight titles. Those who record eight titles will also have their names entered into a drawing for either a Kindle eReader or a basket with gift cards from local restaurants and businesses. In addition, random drawings will be held every two weeks for those enrolled in the program. We will provide each reader with a suggested reading list, but reading from it is not required.

viewers tuned in. Was it Carrie Underwood who served as the big draw? Was the main attraction The Sound of Music itself, a Rodgers and Hammerstein classic that, largely thanks to its 1965 film version, is one of the most recognized and popular family entertainments in the world? Or did the audience simply rally to the anything-could-happen unpredictability of live TV, something no viewer had experienced with a musical since Eisenhower was president? Odds are, all three reasons help explain why The Sound of Music Live! made such a splash. But a year from now, can NBCs follow-up strike a similar chord? What manner of star could equal Underwoods drawing power? And, maybe most important of all, is there any other musical that could grab the attention The Sound of Music automatically claims? Although NBC isnt saying which musicals may be under consideration, its easy enough to play a guessing game. Maybe Peter Pan or The Music Man (though both have been revived as filmed TV productions). Perhaps mega-star Hugh

Jackman could reprise his triumphant performance in a TV revival of Rodgers and Hammersteins Oklahoma! (Except his 1998 Royal National Theatre appearance was filmed and has previously aired.) What about Mame with Cher? Bette Midler in Hello Dolly? Reba McEntire in The Unsinkable Molly Brown? But do any of these projects come close to The Sound of Music Live! and its provocative appeal, as it dared to reimagine and, in the minds of some fans, tamper with the film version held sacred by so many? In short, is there another filmed musical everyone has seen and has such deep feelings for? Of course. Its time for NBCs star-studded staging of The Wizard of Oz Live!

the light of the world. During the time of Jesus birth (4 to 8 B.C.), the world was dark, filled with much evil. Hope was scarce. Then in the midst of it all a great light came from the heavens where God sent His Only Son to earth. Then He hung a bright star in the sky above his birthplace announcing to the world that hope had come. Jesus once said of Himself, I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness (John 12:46.) From Jesus birth, death, burial and resurrection His light never dimmed, shining brightly always. To some His light was praised as it guided them out of darkness into a living hope. To others His light was offensive exposing their evil deeds and corrupt ways. The greatest gifts you can give this Christmas season are two-fold.
5C
One, give yourself wholly to Jesus, letting His light dwell in you. Secondly, give yourself to others letting them see the light of Christ within you. This Christmas may the Light of the world be your hope for today.

Field & Garden of the driveway, you need to have it prepared for the trip, including adverse weather that you may well encounter. We always assume, when we start on a trip of any length, that we will get where we are headed, and return, without any weather or vehicle delays. But what happens if we do encounter bad weather. Do you have emergency supplies in the car? Do you have extra coats, hats, gloves and blankets in
case you get stranded along the way? Do you make sure that you always have at least one half tank of gas in your car? The last thing you want to do is to be stranded in cold weather with an empty gas tank. Make sure that you have some bottled water, energy bars, canned nuts and chocolate bars along for emergency rations. A flashlight, with extra batteries, as well as a whistle can be helpful for signaling would be rescuers. Get yourself an old fashioned three pound coffee can, a lighter or matches and some candles. A lit candle in a coffee can gives off enough heat to melt snow for emergency drinking water. It can also give off enough heat to keep frostbite away from
your fingers. The one thing that none of us can control, is the weather If really bad weather is approaching, dont start out on that trip unless it is emergency. Sometimes a 24 hour delay can mean the difference between a successful trip and a frustrating trip. When you are out on the road, and you should do it anytime, but especially at the holidays with high traffic volumes, drive with your headlights on. It doesnt matter what time of day it is, your headlights make you much more visible, even more so than driving lights. Additionally, most vehicles dont have tail lights lit when driving lights are on. In cloudy weather and cer-
tainly in snowy weather, you want people in front of you and behind you to see you. Make yourself visible. When you are driving on roads that arent clear and dry, please slow down. Just because you can get that SUV or front wheel drive vehicle up to the speed limit, doesnt mean you can safely stop it in an emergency. The bigger the vehicle, the further it takes to stop once the wheels start sliding. Anti-lock brakes may help, but itll still take you a lot further to stop. So you also want to increase following distance from other vehicles, and allow more time for crossing streets and roads. Never assume that road deicers are going to work 100% effectively. If the temperature is below
freezing and there is any kind of precipitation, the road surface is losing traction. And if it gets too bad, just stop and find a motel. Remember you need more time to stop, turns need to be made slower and you have to assume the other person is liable to be out of control. As long as we have winter weather, we will have bad driving conditions. As long as we have holidays, well have high traffic volume. Take your time, be extra patient, be defensive in your driving, and lets make sure were all here to celebrate the New Year.

Shopping tips
DEB ANdRES
Living Resourcefully Dont overstay everyone needs his or her own space and time for self. No family nearby? Call a local chamber of commerce or community service organization and volunteer to help serve a community dinner or give time to a food or toy drive. (In fact, there is a community Christmas Day Dinner being served by the Junction City Church of the Nazarene on Dec. 25. If you want to volunteer your time, donate money, or food to help with the Christmas Day Dinner, call their office at 762-4402 by Dec. 20 to let them know how you can help.) Focus on others, rather than yourself by inviting others to join in a potluck, watch a movie or sports event to share the day. You could spend some time with residents at the nursing home who, like you, are without their family around them during the holiday season. Calling family and friends also can help those who are alone stay connected. And, if you like and can treat yourself to an afternoon off, new book, video or craft project. After a challenging trip to go shopping, find a way to spend more quality time with your children. I love to cook and bake and my children always enjoy the chance to be in the kitchen with me. We often gift food to our friends and neighbors. Homemade baked goods or vegetable trays are some of our favorites to share. Some other ideas for destressing with your family could include coloring together or taking a walk together. Talk about the traditions in your family that have been passed down from year to year. Children mirror the emotions and tone their parents display as well as mimic what they see their parents and other influential adults in their lives do. Being aware of this can help each of us make an extra effort to make the holiday season a time of gratitude, not attitude and model what the song says peace on earth, good will toward men. For more ideas on activities you can do with your children that promote quality time, feel free to contact me at the Geary County Extension office (785) 2384161.
ast night I decided it was time to just tough it out and finish my Christmas shopping. With my list of family and friends, as yes, my budget in tow, I set out on my mission. The stores were buzzing with activity and many of the people I saw had their children with them. I am glad to report that many of them seemed happy and at ease, but there were several who were struggling to find the merriment in shopping with the family. I saw parents struggling to get their kids to put on coats, to leave items in the shopping cart or to give up possession of the toy clutched in their hand long enough to let the clerk scan the coded tag. Parents are also tired, financially stretched, grumpy about parking, all while dealing with the everyday challenges of balance work, family, and relationships. In the midst of all this shopping excitement, I could hear the end of the song playing overhead and peace on earth, good will toward men. The irony of that moment makes me smile yet today and reminds me of one of the many quotes I can remember from my own upbringing: You can be part of the problem, or part of the solution. With solutions in mind, I share with you an article I recently read written by Nancy B. Peterson, and Dr. Charlotte Shoup Olsen, both of whom are K-State Research and Extension colleagues. Few families will match the idyllic images captured in the holiday advertisements, but most can find joy during the holiday season. Everyone is encouraged to extend the thankfulness typically associate with Thanksgiving celebrations throughout the holiday season and into the new year. Feeling grateful for home, family, friends and life in general spills over into other activities and to others who sense your gratitude. Gratitude itself can have a calming influence. A little planning also can go a long way in relieving family stress holiday stresses. The following time and stress management tips are offered: Start early to plan family and other gatherings. Involve others, so everyone will be informed. Surprises can add stress unnecessarily. Be responsible. If the family is planning a potluck and you promised to bring the main dish, be on time, with enough food to serve everyone expected. Ask adult children what they would like to bring, rather than making arbitrary assignments. Leave disciplining others children to the childrens parents. Plan age-appropriate activities, such as soccer or touch football, table or board games. Keep the peace try not to bring up touchy topics.
