Flint Hills Regional Council restructuring to preserve funding

B Y T IM WEIDEMAN

city.beat@thedailyunion.net
In an effort to remain financially secure, the Flint Hills Regional Council is restructuring its staff leadership positions. During a special meeting Wednesday at the C.L. Hoover Opera House in Junction City, the Flint Hills Regional Council (FHRC) voted to create two part-time positions. Council executive director Bill Clark now will become part-time CEO of the council. Associate planner Gary Stiths new role will be part-time COO. The Regional Council is trying to restructure the organization so that we can stay afloat financially until the number of things that we are working on now can become a reality, Ben Bennett, council chair and Geary County representative, said after the meeting. As part of his CEO role, Clark will handle duties including budget, policy, procedures, project conception and project completion. Stith will take on duties including the day-to-day operations of the council, personnel management The Regional and priority execution.

The extension would not provide additional funds, only more time to spend the available grant money. The savings by Bill going part-time is whats going to allow us to get an extension on the HUD grant so that we can have that (money) available longer into next year, and it gives us more time to look for other ways of getting funding for keeping us going, Stith said after the meeting. Clark was unable to attend the meeting. Bennett said he was returning from a trip related to the councils financial circumstances.

... help students enjoy reading

very year, many teenagers enter the classroom of Lisa Torres-Wigton with criticism toward reading. Its a challenge Torres-Wigton enjoys taking on as a English and literature teacher at Junction City High School. I find it my task to make them see its not so horrible, she said about reading. Literature connects us to different times, places and experiences. Making the link between students and the subjects has resulted in Torres-Wigtons nomination for Kansas Teacher of the Year for secondary education. Torres-Wigton will represent Unified School District 475 when the 2015 Kansas Teacher of the Year will be announced in September. The program is sponsored by the Kansas State Department of Education. It recognizes teachers in elementary and secondary schools throughout Kansas. After the nomination was posted on her FacePlease see Reading, 8A

My recent nomination as USD 475 Secondary Teacher of the Year has been a very memorable moment, and the process has just begun. A colleague of mine had posted a congratulatory message on my Facebook page, and, before I knew it, I had received tons of comments from both colleagues and former students. To be supported by my peers means a lot, and to receive messages from students that I have taught these last 16 years has made me feel honored and humbled.

What has been a memorable moment in your teaching career, and why?

My high school biology teacher, Mrs. Leann Burroughs, always believed in me and challenged me to work harder. I wanted to be a teacher like her; someone who made learning fun but would not accept anything less than my best. As a teacher, Ms. Linda Powers, was a valuable mentor. Like many first-year teachers, I found myself struggling and it was her advice and counsel that made me push through that first year and return. She was my lifeline and friend.

Who is one person who has inspired you during your career, and why?

A rousingly authentic musical journey to Ireland

University police departments proactive DUI enforcement results in 15 arrests

MANHATTAN The amount of pedestrians and bicycles on and around the Kansas State University campus make enforcement of traffic safety laws a priority. Thats why the campus police department has been on the lookout for drunk drivers. So far in 2014, the department has arrested 15 drunk drivers on and around campus. Safety of our community is a priority, and it is commonly known that drunk driving takes so many lives unnecessarily, said Ronnie Grice, the universitys assistant vice president for public safety. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a person is killed by a drunk driver every 51 minutes, and in 2012 more than 10,000 lives were lost as a result of drunk driving. Thats why I am extremely proud of the proactive approach our officers have to stopping impaired drivers, Grice said. The Manhattan community has many options for those who choose not to drink and drive. The universitys Safe Ride is a service that provides a scheduled route Thursdays through Saturdays at no cost. Other services, such as taking a taxi, are also available for a fee. According to Don Stubbings, captain of the university police department, the cost of paying for a ride is worth it compared to the financial costs of being arrested for drunk driving or a more serious charge related to injuring or killing someone because a driver got behind the wheel while drunk. For more information about impaired driving please visit http://www. madd.org/drunk-driving/ about/drunk-driving-statistics.html or to visit the universitys Safe Ride page http://www.k-state.edu/ osas/saferide/.

At 7:30 p.m., March 7, a high-energy celebration of the Emerald Isle comes to K-State. The music of Dan offers an authentic Irish experience. Using traditional instruments, flute, tin whistle, fiddle, button accordion and bouzouki, the music is clever and fun. Dan mixes ancient Irish music with contemporary works to create an unforgettable evening. Hailing from historic County Waterford, Dan is one of the leading traditional Irish ensembles of today. Winners of numerous awards from the BBC and Irish Music Magazine, the group has toured throughout Europe, the Middle East and North America with stops at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, Symphony Space in New York City and major concert engagements in the United Kingdom, India, Israel and across Europe.

Two statewide forums feature graduate student research that helps Kansas
MANHATTAN Fifteen Kansas State University graduate students will present their Kansas-related research at two upcoming research forums: Masters Research Day was yesterday, and the Capitol Graduate Research Summit is today. Both events are on the second floor rotunda of the State Capitol Building in Topeka. These two research forums give our students opportunities to show how their research is addressing key issues in the state, said Carol Shanklin, dean of the Graduate School. Through their interaction with statewide leaders, these students will be able to show the value of graduate education and research. The Masters Research Day is an inaugural event that includes graduate students pursing masters degrees from all the Kansas Board of Regents universities, including Kansas State University, Fort Hays State University, Pittsburg State University, University of Kansas, Wichita State University. At the 11th annual Capitol Graduate Research Summit, 10 Kansas State University students will interact with legislators, the Kansas Board of Regents and the community. From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., students will present posters that feature their research on a variety of topics important to Kansas, including animal heath, engineering and grain science, among other topics. The 10 students were chosen based on their research presentations at Research and the State, an annual on-campus event that occurred in October 2013. The Capitol Graduate Research Summit is a statewide event that features current research of graduate students at Kansas State University, the University of Kansas, the University of Kansas Medical Center and Wichita State University. A university professor and an industry representative will judge the poster and student presentations. The top two presenters from each university will receive awards: One student will be chosen as a BioKansas winner and the other student will receive an award from his or her graduate school. Kansas State University students participating in the Masters Research Day or the Capitol Graduate Research Summit include: Tim Hoffman, doctoral student in chemical engineering, Ellsworth, who will present Growth of HBN using metallic boron: isotopically enriched 10BN for neutron detection at the Capitol Graduate Research Summit. Hoffmans faculty mentor is James Edgar, university distinguished professor and head of chemical engineering. Lance Noll, masters student in veterinary biomedical science, Greensburg, who will present A fourplex real-time PCR assay for the detection and quantification of Escherichia coli o157 in cattle feces at the Capitol Graduate Research Summit. Nolls faculty mentor is T.G. Nagaraja, university distinguished professor of diagnostic medicine and pathobiology. Andrew Dillon, masters student in agronomy, Hope, who will present at Masters Research Day. Hamad Alshetaiwi, masters student in biomedical science, Manhattan, who will present at Masters Research Day.

Deputy secretary of defense visits Fort Riley, speaks with Big Red One soldiers
B Y J. P ARKER RObER TS

Special to the Daily Union

FORT RILEY In her first visit to a domestic military installation as acting deputy secretary of defense, the Hon. Christine H. Fox spent time on Fort Riley Feb. 10, visiting with 1st Infantry Division soldiers and observing cutting-edge virtual and constructive training at the Mission Training Complex. Fox was appointed to the acting deputy position, which she described to a group of more than 100 Big Red One soldiers as the defense secretarys executive officer, Dec. 5. She last served as the Defense Departments director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation. Foxs December appointment makes her the second-most senior official at the Pentagon and the most senior-ranking woman in the history of the Defense Department. Todays another first for our great division, Maj. Gen. Paul E. Funk II, 1st Infantry Division and Fort Riley commanding general, told a group of soldiers who gathered at the MTC to hear from Fox. We get the opportunity to welcome the Hon. Fox What a great opportunity to learn from one of our great leaders. The deputy secretary gave the soldiers a behindthe-scenes look into her role in the Pentagon and took questions from the audience. What a pleasure it is to be here with all of you, Fox told the soldiers. She said her role as assistant

College Goal Sunday

The Kansas Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators will be holding a College Goal Sunday event from 2-4 p.m. Sunday at Manhattan High School, where students and parents can receive professional, one-on-one help in filling out the Free Application for Financial Student Aid (FAFSA). The event is free. One student will also win a $500 scholarship to the school of their choice. The scholarship recipient must be a first-semester freshman in the fall of 2014. For more information, visit www. collegegoal.org.

Chili and soup feed

The American Legion Riders of American Legion Post 45 will hold a chili and soup feed from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Feb. 21 at the American Legion, located at 201 E. Fourth St. Admission is $7, and includes chili, soup and cornbread; water and coffee are also available with meals. Music will be provided by Mended Wings. All proceeds will support the annual Run for the Wall.

Maj. Gen. Paul E. Funk II, 1st Infantry Division and Fort Riley commanding general, welcomed the Hon. Christine H. Fox, acting deputy secretary of defense, to Kansas on Feb. 10 after she arrived at Manhattan Regional Airport for a tour of the post and its training facilities. Fox and her staff visited a tactical operations center to observe 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, training and the Mission Training Complex to see how Big Red One soldiers use the latest technology to prepare them for deployments.
secretary of defense keeps her at her desk most days, but Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel let me out of the Pentagon today to come see you, and what a privilege it is. Fox thanked the 1st Inf. Div. soldiers and asked them to carry her thanks home to their families. Its a great nation, and its great because of people like you, she said. Your contributions are phenomenal. The deputy secretary of defense said while much attention has been directed at the militarys mission in Afghanistan, the 1st Inf. Div.s work as a regionally aligned force, as well as other complex tasks, represent the future of the Army. Its really our privilege to be here today to learn about how youre doing that, how youre focusing on these regionally aligned forces, the excitement of those missions and how youre doing that and keeping current on global operations and your ability to respond globally, Fox said. We face a lot of new challenges and we face a lot of new opportunities, both at home and abroad. Fox said she has complete confidence that the 1st Inf. Div. will continue to demonstrate that it places Duty First. I thought it went very well, said Timothy D. Livsey, director of Plans, Training, Mobilization, Security and Airfield for the 1st Inf. Div. and Fort Riley, who showed Fox around the MTC facility. I think the deputy secretary understands how critical all elements of training are for the Army, not just live training out in the field. Livsey said he feels Fox walked away from Fort Riley with a better understanding of how the systems of virtual and constructive training offered at the MTC build toward soldiers being able to train in a live environment. Its efficient, it saves money to train in these types of systems, he said. Moreover, it allows them to iterate their training many times make mistakes in here before they go out there and waste more money because it costs more when they actually go out there. From Foxs feedback, Livsey said it was clear the deputy secretary understands where the Army is going with the integrated training environment that he says will save soldiers time and money while getting them better trained.

CHAPMAN Blue Ridge Elementary School may be small, but it packs a mighty punch when it comes to receiving recognition. With the recent Governors Award, its no wonder families outside the district are contacting the school to ask if their students can transfer into Blue Ridge. The award is given to schools rated in the top five percent in the state of Kansas. Principal Luan Sparks said they plan to hang the award signed by Gov. Sam Brownback and affiliates from Kansas State Department of Education and Kansas Board of Education in their new display case at Blue Ridge. Sparks invited all of the Blue Ridge staff, along with a few students, to stand in front of the board and other attendees of the USD 473 Board of Education meeting Monday night. In contrast to the location of most USD 473 board meetings, which take place at the district office, this meeting was held in the Blue Ridge gym. They say that the sum of a group of people is far greater than one isolated act of a person, and the Governors Award certainly recognizes that achievement, Sparks said. Youve done an excellent job a job well done and Im very proud.

the parents of her students to express appreciation for their involvement, tears came to her eyes. For the parents thank you, she said. We couldnt do it by ourselves. Board President Rodney Anderson then reminded meeting attendees that Chapman High School also received the Blue Ribbon Award, and principal Kevin Suther received the Bell Award. Chapman Middle School is also experiencing a good problem to have, principal Bruce Hurford said. And this good problem was, in an indirect way, the result of a terrible problem: the tornado of 2008. The year prior to the tornado, the middle school had almost 200 students, and now we have 263, Hurford said. That seems to be really strong since we built back and started our new building. With the increase in enrollment, some teachers are seeing 160 students per day and trying to prepare and teach two curriculums. He said its much better to have one teacher teach one grade. The teachers have not complained about it at all, but when you look at whats best for kids, its not a good situation, Hurford said. Weve just gotten to the point where, we need to make a change.

Hurford requested to the board that CMS create a position for a 7th-grade social studies teacher to offer something better for middle school students. Superintendent Lacee Sell said her primary concern is how the doubling up hinders middle school teachers ability to team up with one another. From my perspective middle philosophy as teaming philosophy you have your 6th-grade teachers, your 7th-grade teachers and your 8th-grade teachers, but you also have the vertical, because this way a 6th-grade teacher can meet with a 7th-grade teacher, and a 7th-grade teacher can meet with an 8th-grade teacher, Sell said. When theyre not tied up in a class, they can speak with their colleagues. When we have this many students, its the right thing to do. The board voted unanimously to create that new position and work toward hiring another teacher for CMS. Since the middle school is growing, board member Mitch Langvardt asked Suther if he is starting to see any trickling up of those larger grades into the high school. I think next year, we can get by, Suther said. I think we could probably squeeze in and do what weve done, but in another

couple of years, well have to hire another teacher. Sell said the board will discuss next year whether or not to hire another social studies teacher for the high school for the 2015-16 school year. Anderson announced two resignations: Shane Sundahl, assistant principal of CMS, and Collette Erickson, CHS language arts teacher. Sundahl has been the assistant principal for seven years and has worked in the district for 10 years. When reached Tuesday morning, he said he was not yet sharing the reason for his resignation. Erickson resigned her duties directing the all school production and junior class play at CHS. She will continue to teach language arts.

Caesar, comic genius of 1950s television, dies

By The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES Sid Caesar, the prodigiously talented pioneer of TV comedy who paired with Imogene Coca in sketches that became classics and who inspired a generation of famous writers, died Wednesday. He was 91. Family spokesman Eddy Friedfeld said Caesar, who also played Coach Calhoun in the 1978 movie "Grease," died at his home in the Los Angeles area after a brief illness. "He had not been well for a while. He was getting weak," said Friedfeld, who lives in New York and last spoke to Caesar about 10 days ago. Friedfeld, a friend of Caesar's who wrote the 2003 biography "Caesar's Hour" learned of his death in an early morning call from Caesar's daughter, Karen.

Temple dies at 85
By The Associated Press
Any kid who ever tapdanced at a talent show or put on a curly wig and auditioned for Annie can only dream of being as beloved or as important as Shirley Temple. Temple, who died Monday night at 85, sang, danced, sobbed and grinned her way into the hearts of downcast Depression-era moviegoers and remains the ultimate child star decades later. Other pre-teens, from Macaulay Culkin to Miley Cyrus, have been as famous in their time. But none of them helped shape their time the way she did. Dimpled, precocious and oh-so-adorable, she was Americas top box office draw during Hollywoods golden age, and her image was free of the scandals that have plagued Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan and so many other child stars parental feuds, drugs, alcohol. Temple remains such a symbol of innocence that kids still know the drink named for her: a sweet, nonalcoholic cocktail of ginger ale and grenadine, topped with a maraschino cherry. Her hit movies which included Bright Eyes (1934), Curly Top (1935), Dimples (1936), Poor Little Rich Girl (1936) and Heidi (1937) featured sentimental themes and musical subplots, with stories of resilience and optimism that a struggling American public found appealing. She kept children singing On the Good Ship Lollipop for generations. She was also a tribute to the economic and inspirational power of movies, credited with helping to save 20th Century Fox from bankruptcy and praised by President Franklin D. Roosevelt himself for lifting Americas spirits during a gloomy time. She was just absolutely marvelous, greatest in the world, director Allan Dwan told filmmaker-author Peter Bogdanovich in his book Who the Devil Made It: Conversations With Legendary Film Directors. With Shirley, youd just tell her once and shed remember the rest of her life, said Dwan, who directed her in Heidi and Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. Whatever it was she was supposed to do shed do it. ... And if one of the actors got stuck, shed tell him what his line was she knew it better than he did. Her achievements did not end with movies. Retired from acting at 21, she went on to hold several diplomatic posts in Republican administrations, including ambassador to Czechoslovakia during the sudden collapse of communism in 1989. Former President George H.W. Bush, who appointed Black to the post in Prague, saluted her Tuesday for her selfless service to our country and her film career. In both roles, she truly lifted people up and earned not only a place in our hearts, but also our enduring respect, Bush said in a statement. Temple, known in private life as Shirley Temple Black, died at her home near San Francisco. The cause of death was not disclosed. From 1935 to 1938, she was the most popular screen actress in the country and a bigger draw than Clark Gable, Joan Crawford or Gary Cooper. In 1999, the American Film Institutes ranking of the greatest screen legends put Temple at No. 18 among the 25 actresses. I have one piece of advice for those of you who want to receive the lifetime achievement award: Start early, she quipped in 2006 as she was honored by the Screen Actors Guild. But she also said that evening that her greatest roles were as wife, mother and grandmother: Theres nothing like real love. Nothing. Her husband of more than 50 years, Charles Black, had died a few months earlier. In Bright Eyes, Temple introduced the song On the Good Ship Lollipop and did battle with a charmingly bratty Jane Withers, launching Withers as another major child star. As a bright-eyed orphan in Curly Top, she sang Animal Crackers in My Soup. She was teamed with the legendary dancer Bill Bojangles Robinson in two 1935 films with Civil War themes, The Little Colonel and The Littlest Rebel. Their tap dance up the steps in The Little Colonel (at a time when interracial teamings were rare in Hollywood) became a landmark in the history of dance on film. Known for a remarkable ability to cry on cue, she won a special Academy Award at age 6 and was presented with a miniature Oscar statuette for her outstanding contribution to screen entertainment. Temple and her movies were an escapist delight and a popular sensation.

Our view Tough snow job

While the area earlier this week found itself in the grips of another cold wave that has finally abated, at least it was not accompanied by another round of snowfall. Last weeks 10.5 inches in a single snow event send a record. All told, the city snow removal crews did a good job clearing major thoroughfares and connecting streets in a timely manner considering the amount of snow that fell in a relatively short period. Some folks complained about residential streets not being cleared quickly, but given the city has 150 miles of streets, and only a half-dozen trucks in operation, we believe crews handled it fairly well. There are always lessons to be learned, considering the city has operated the snow removal program for just two years. The city in the future should be able to improve its response, especially in getting to culs-de-sac and other less-traveled areas. The new state law allowing concealed carry permit holders to bring weapons into public places where they were previously banned continues to cause concern among public officials including locally. Sheriff Tom Wolf is seeking bids for surveillance cameras for the courthouse and office building, which comes as a result of weapons being allowed if adequate security plans are not in place. Security at the courthouse now includes metal detectors and armed security, which is long overdue. We are still skeptical that allowing folks to carry weapons into public buildings was a wise idea, but increasing security is needed in any event. We agree with the old saw that justice delay is justice denied, but a legislative proposal to set soft deadlines for district courts, the Court of Appeals and the Kansas Supreme Court strikes us as crossing the line between the legislative and executive branches of government. Self-regulation from within the judicial system seems more appropriate in this case. The bill would withhold pay from judges who are tardy in ruling. However, a study showed the Court of Appeals disposed of its cases in just 51 days on average after setting a self-imposed deadline of 60 days or less. The Supreme Court is the slowest at 288 days, but the cases that reach that level are the most complex. We would suggest a more judicious approach would be to continue efforts within the judiciary to speed cases along, from the highest court on down without resorting to legislative fiat.

Environmental concerns here to stay

ome people have the mistaken idea that farmers and ranchers are harming our environment. You hear it everywhere: at the coffee shop, church, public forums, even in the grocery store where people buy the food farmers and ranchers produce for us to eat. Children arrive home from school and tell parents about harmful practices farmers use. Its easy to understand why folks think the way they do about todays agriculture. Few businesses are as open to public scrutiny as a farm or ranch in the United States but the only picture many have of agriculture is what they read in newspapers or see on television. Even fewer people have set foot on a modern farm. The fondest wish of most farmers and ranchers is to pass their land on to their children. They work years to leave a legacy of good land stewardship. Most farmers learned about conservation and respect for the land from their parents. Todays farmer and ranchers are doing their part to protect and improve the environment. They use such practices as early planting, pest control, good soil fertility conservation tillage and many other innovations that help grow more food while protecting the

land, water and air. Farmers adjust practices to meet individual cropping conditions. Such practices can vary from farm to farm even from field to field. As in any other business, farmers and ranchers must manage their operations on a timely basis and use all the technology available to improve quality and productivity. If they dont they will not be able to stay in business for long. Todays farmer has drastically cut chemical use during the last couple of decades. Many no longer apply chemicals before planting. Instead, as the crop matures, farmers gauge potential weed growth and apply herbicides only if needed. Farmers handle chemicals with care and according to instructions on the label. They realize they can be toxic or harmful to people and the environment, and they are the first to come in contact with them. From planting through harvest, farmers battle weather, weeds, insects and disease. Efficiency is their best defense against unstable world markets, political barriers and fringe groups who may attack their farming methods. Yes, farmers and ranchers must live in the environment they create. They know all too well the importance of keeping the ground water clean. More often than not, farmers drink from

wells on their land. They understand that their family drinks from the water they pump from the ground every day. Farmers and ranchers can and will do more to improve their environment. They can continue to rely less on herbicides, insecticides and fertilizers. Agricultural producers can also conserve more water, plug abandoned wells, monitor grassland grazing and continue to implement environmentally sound techniques that will ensure preservation of the land. Production agriculture works, and will continue to work because it is flexible enough to accept and adapt to change. No agricultural system or any other system for that matter, is perfect. Farmers and ranchers will continue to search for better ways to farm and ranch through research and education. In the meantime, farmers and ranchers will continue to take their stewardship seriously. Theyve devoted their lives to safeguarding their farms and families, while providing us with the safest food in the world.

he USD 475 School Board should be commended for asking some very important questions about the Guaranteed Maximum Price for the construction of the new Fort Riley Elementary School. Commended for asking; 1) what Huttons fees are and 2) what about the lack of a landscaping plan. The School Board should be commended even though the answers to these questions left much to be desired. But with the retirement of Dr. Ron Walker as Superintendent of the 475 Schools we are about to start a new chapter in our community. In the last few years the 475 School Board has been a very closed group when it comes to making decisions of any importance. The 475 School Board has made it very hard to glean what they were thinking or why they made any type of a policy decision. As an example of this it seamed to be standard practice, until the last three or four meetings, that there were no questions asked, no comments given and a unanimous vote on each issue addressed by the School Board. I believe that the decision of choosing a new Superintendent of Schools is the most important decision that the 475 School Board will make in the next few years. With that in mind I do hope that the School Board will be much more forthcoming in picking the new Superintendent of Schools than the Junction City Commission was in picking a new city manager. That is, the Junction City Commission did not encourage or except any comments from the public. In fact, it was very hard to find out who was even being considered. I believe that the public should have information on the candidates for Superintendent of Schools (names, resumes and reasons for leaving last jobs, etc.). I believe the public should have a chance to express opinions on such an important decision. This most important decision of who will lead our schools on a daily basis. The administrator who will be the real working captain of the ship, so to speak. It should be remembered that all money spent by the 475 School Board and the school administration was provided by (taken from) a taxpayer. I believe the taxpayer (the person who pays the bills) has a say in how tax money is to be spent.

Special to The Daily Union

ve enjoyed the winter Olympics. So far as I write this there have not been any terror attacks and for this we are all glad. The Olympics are expensive. Russia has spent in the mega billions to host this world event. The competition of athletes from around the world is inspiring. Ive never been to Russia but after watching these events on television I believe I would like to go. Russia has been one of those places that seemed almost off the planet for modest travelers such as myself. I suspect that I have traveled abroad more than the average American. Beyond a doubt there are good people in every place Ive ever been. All over the world people are people. They are just like us. They need food to eat, some clothes to wear and shelter. Consider the hurting people of Syria. They just want some peace and rest. People have children and want the best for them. Throughout the planet people

try to get ahead as much as they are able. Most of the world population would simply like to better themselves with stronger incomes so they can purchase a little more of what the world offers for each of them. People have physical and emotional/spiritual needs all across the world. Many of us have looked at different parts of the world with much suspect and rightly so. There are terrorists that plot against our nation who have proven their hatred for the United States. We must keep strong defense and strong intelligence programs that are on the lookout for our safety. With this said I believe that most of the world, including Russia, is filled with good people. The Olympic games are expensive but cheaper than war. More than ever before we need the diplomacy and understanding that comes from International engagement such as these games. Too many times our world leaders sit in their ivory towers on different sides of the globe acting as if they are in a chess game with the people of the world as their pawns. Instead we need more inter-

action. I would like to see Vladimer Putin and other world leaders whom we have grown to fear, and even hate, playing basketball at the Presidents nice basketball court that we installed for him. Or maybe they could sip some tea in the rose garden. The world is becoming smaller every day. We need to help each other as a people who basically need and want the same things. There are hatemongers who will never rest until they have intimidated the free world into living behind closed doors and cringing in fear. However, the world will only benefit if the good people of this world get to know each other better and work together to accomplish what most everybody wants, which is simply peace, fulfillment of some personal goals, and an opportunity to live long, safe and healthy lives.

Kansas House panel expands gun-rights measure

TOPEKA Kansas residents could carry loaded handguns in their vehicles, even without a concealed carry permit, under a bill that cleared a legislative committee Wednesday. The House Federal and State Affairs Committee expanded the gun-rights legislation before approving it. The measure strips cities, counties and townships of the power to regulate guns and voids local gun ordinances, guaranteeing that the open carrying of firearms will be legal across Kansas. The National and Kansas State rifle associations are pushing the bill, and the committees unanimous vote sends it to the entire House for debate, possibly as early as next week. Supporters and opponents expect the measure to be enacted because the House and Senate have gun-rights majorities. Supporters argue that a patchwork of local gun ordinances confuses gun owners and infringes upon rights to own guns protected by the federal and state constitutions. Language about carrying loaded firearms in vehicles was not included in the original bill, and Rep. Michael Houser, a Columbus Republican, successfully pushed for the amendment. I do not have a concealed carry license myself. I open carry at home all the time, Houser said. This is striving for uniformity across the state. For me to be legal in some jurisdictions, I would have to unload my rounds before I put it in the car. Houser said his amendment mirrors policy in more than a dozen other states, including Missouri and Colorado. And Rep. Larry Campbell, an Olathe Republican, said people should enjoy the same expectation of privacy in their cars that they have in their homes, where its clear they can keep loaded guns. prisons budget.

Judge puts off trial in Kansas bomb plot case

WICHITA A federal judge has put off this months scheduled trial in the case of an avionics technician accused in a suicide bomb plot at a Wichita airport. The courts docket included a notation Wednesday indicating the Feb. 18 trial for Terry L. Loewen has been canceled with no new trial date set. Such delays are routine given the amount of evidence and the difficulties in a case involving national security information. A status hearing has been scheduled for March 24. Loewen was arrested Dec. 13 after he allegedly tried to drive a van filled with inert explosives onto the airport tarmac. He pleaded not guilty to charges of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction, attempting to use an explosive device to damage property and attempting to support alQaida.

Members of the Kansas House Federal and State Affairs Committee review proposed language for gun-rights legislation Wednesday at the Statehouse in Topeka.
Law enforcement groups back the bill and have worked with gun-rights organizations on its language. It wasnt clear after Wednesdays committee meeting how much heartburn theyll have over Housers amendment. Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe, at the Statehouse for other meetings, said he hasnt had time to review the new language, but that the concept worries him. That creates a huge safety issue, and I think most law enforcement officers are concerned about those kinds of issues, Howe said. But Johnson County Sheriff Frank Denning said he and his deputies assume people in rural areas already can carry loaded guns in their cars, and that cities restrict the practice. Attorney General Derek Schmidt said he was keeping an eye on the bigger picture. Im not as focused on these debates, where people can carry or in what manner they can carry, as I am on trying to make sure the dangerous people, who have proven their dangerousness, dont have ready access to firearms, Schmidt said. Local government groups oppose the measure, arguing that city and county officials know their communities best. Mike Taylor, a lobbyist for the Unified Government of Kansas City, Kan., and Wyandotte County, which bans the open carrying of firearms, said its more of an issue in urban areas than in small towns. Cities should have the right, community by community, to make that decision for what fits their city the best, Taylor said after the committees meeting.

Kansas orders Derby firm to stop securities sales

WICHITA Kansas Securities Commissioner Josh Ney has ordered Derby-based Proud Veterans and its chief executive officer to stop selling securities in violation of state laws. The agency on Monday announced preliminary findings that the company and CEO Nick Gnemi (guhNEHM-ee) committed securities fraud by selling an unregistered security, making untrue statements and omitting material statements about the security. At issue are investments toward stock and commodities of grain and milk that would be delivered to foreign countries. Gnemi says Proud Veterans is primarily an agricultural, engineering and construction company that had solicited a couple of investors to work with it. He says the service-disabled veterans company did not understand the states requirements and acknowledged that as a business it would do whatever is required to comply.

judged in competitions under a bill approved by the state House. House members approved the measure Monday on a 111-7 vote, sending the measure to the Senate. The bill eases restrictions on home brewing. Kansas law permits home brewing if the beer, wine or cider is made only for the brewer or the brewers family. That means the product cant be shared unless the brewer obtains state licenses for manufacturing or distributing alcoholic beverages. The bill would permit home brewers to provide their products to guests or to judges at competitions, provided the brewer isnt paid. The measure is being pushed by brewing clubs.

Child deaths subject of bill in Kansas Senate

TOPEKA Supporters of a bill before the Kansas Senate say it could help improve research on the cause of childrens deaths. Kansas collects information on child deaths through the State Child Death Review Board, which publishes statistics each year on deaths and causes, seeking to pinpoint trends and develop prevention strategies. The board reviewed 391 deaths in 2011, most of which resulted from natural causes. Researchers arent allowed to get more detailed information about the deaths because of privacy concerns, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported. Under the proposed bill, researchers would still not have direct access to information on child deaths. But academics, research organizations, nonprofit groups and governmental agencies would be able to apply to the review board for nonpersonally identifiable, aggregate data.

JC Breakfast Optimist Club

The JC Breakfast Optimist Club Board met Wednesday in the Hampton Inn Meeting Room. The meeting was called to order by President Tom Brungardt. Members recited the Pledge of Allegiance, and The Optimist Creed, and Jim Sands offered a morning prayer. Jose Saenz was a guest of Luise Mathes. As a tribute to Abraham Lincoln on the anniversary of his 205th birthday, the program was about him. Tom Brungardt shared there are about 16,000 books written on Lincoln. Its also interesting to note books that influenced Lincoln were the King James Version of the Bible and works of Shakespeare. Even though there are no biblical quotes in the Gettysburg Address, there are themes common in both. The same commonalities may be found in Lincolns Inaugural speech. Brungardt also stated Lincoln frequently read text aloud so he could see it, hear it and remember it better. Unlike many politicians today, Lincoln did not have a speech writer, but he did have staff members who answered letters for him. Brungardt shared there are those who ask questions about history in the form of what ifs? To learn more about what if Lincoln had not been the person he was in our history? or what if the South had won the Civil War?

Troop 41 scouts earn engineering merit badge

Last Saturday, scouts from Troop 41 traveled to the Kansas Cosmosphere to earn their engineering merit badge. Its part of a program from Boy Scouts of America that wants Scouts to emphasize STEM Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. These core subjects will produce the bulk of jobs available in the future. They are not easy subjects, but Scouts are never afraid of taking on any (Watertown)_P41333_BW 2/8/14badge, 2:37 PM Page 1 challenge.

book page, the messages from former students began to roll in. As a teacher you dont get to see the impact youve had on a student, TorresWigton said. Its been kind of fun to see that Ive had that kind of impact on my kids. Its something TorresWigton knows firsthand. As the daughter of Edgar and Maria Torres, the military brat bounced around to different places, something that helped shaped her career path. The only thing that you have consistent in the Army is your family and schools, she said. It was the teachers who made me want to be in that place and feel comfortable at home. A lot of my role models were teachers. She said good teachers can have a positive influence on students. I noticed the power that you have as a teacher to make a kid see what theyre capable of doing and what possibilities they have inside, Torres-Wigton said. I wanted to do that. While moving to different places, books allowed her to escape. I share that love with them and hopefully theyll open up a book a little more, Torres-Wigton said. But sometimes sharing that appreciation comes with challenges because of the fear of failure and making mistakes. Thats what learning and life is about, she said. What happens when you come across struggle and who are you when you face struggle? Some students are afraid of writing. But Torres-Wigton said its like riding a bike. I tell them they just have to get on the bike, she said. If you dont attempt something then youll never live. After graduating from high school in Fort Knox, Ky., Torres-Wigton attended Kansas State University and received her bachelors in education and a masters in English. She has been teaching for 17 years. Twelve of those years have been at JCHS. Prior to her tenure in Junction City, she taught in Topeka at Highland Park High School and at K-State as a graduate teaching assistant. Her husband is Jay Wigton, a Junction City Police officer and DARE instructor. Together they have two children, Miranda, 11 and Jayden, 5. Torres-Wigtons father was a sergeant major in the U.S. Army and taught ROTC at the high school. She began taking courses to be come a librarian in the future. But currently, the classroom is where her heart is. I always see myself in the classroom, she said. I like having the daily contact with kids and being a part of their lives.

said. The other funding options the FHRC currently is exploring are the Flint Hills Economic Development District and the Regional Transit Administration. Through those programs, the council would be able to operate as a fiscal agent for federal grants and funds. It would help to get us

in the right direction (financially), Bennett said. Bennett added the staffing changes wont be permanent. This is a Band-Aid, he said. Its not the way were going to operate forever. As soon as we can get things in place, we will look back at hiring a fulltime CEO. Bennett said Clark has been offered another position in the area. Clark still will work with the council on a part-

time basis, Bennett said, should he accept another position. Stith filled in as interim executive director before Clark was hired. He then continued as part-time associate planner. Bennett said the current staff structure could last a couple years, at the most, before different funding options could kick in. The council also will start marketing its current staffs skills, such as grant writing, which could be

hired by smaller communities in the region. The council now will have four full-time and two part-time staff members. The regional council focuses on promoting the goals of the Flint Hills region. Its members include governments from Chase, Clay, Dickinson, Geary, Lyon, Morris, Riley, Pottawatomie and Wabaunsee counties and municipalities and unincorporated areas within those counties.

fit into those cliques. I was a victim of bullying and I can tell firsthand at how it damages somebody. To deter bullies, she advised the students to tell a parent or a teacher if theyre harming others. Tim Stuck, the schools student support monitor, invited her to address the message. Stuck indicated the lesson of anti-bullying would resonate better if presented by a famous person. Were really big teaching the kids not to be bullies, Stuck said. I thought that she could deliver a good message that some of us couldnt deliver to the kids. The problem, which occurs in schools throughout the world, became her secondary platform after the Miss America pageant. Her primary was empowering women. After her story about bullying came out during the pageant, schools began calling her to speak. Im so happy that it turned out that way because kids need to know that it happens, Vail said. Just because youre going through it, doesnt mean that you cant go anywhere in life. You can become very successful if you overcome it.

Gregg Williams is returning to the Rams as defensive coordinator for the first time since he lost his job in New Orleans as fallout from the bounty scandal. The Rams announced the hiring Wednesday. A news conference introducing Williams will be Thursday. He will replace Tim Walton, who was fired in January after just one season. Williams has led five top-five defenses. He was defensive coordinator for the Saints when he was suspended for the entire 2012 season for the scandal. He was reinstated by the NFL in February 2013 and served as a senior defensive assistant for the Titans last season. Rams coach Jeff Fisher originally hired Williams in January 2012, but dropped him after the scandal broke.

Rutgers will pay $11.5 million to the American Athletic Conference as part of an agreement that will allow the school to enter the Big Ten this summer. The school and the conference announced the deal Wednesday. Rutgers has also agreed to drop a lawsuit challenging the conferences $10 million exit fee. The conference was asking for that plus more from the school because Rutgers was breaking league bylaws by exiting before a required 27-month notification period. Rutgers officially withdrew from what was then called the Big East on Nov. 21, 2012, when it accepted an invitation to join the Big Ten. Louisville is also leaving the American Athletic Conference after this school year. Louisville negotiated an $11 million early exit fee with the American to join the Atlantic Coast Conference.

ometime between the third and fourth quarter, Topeka Seamans score jumped from 46 to 49. When Junction City coach Pat Battle noticed, shortly after junior Jordan Lawrence grabbed an offensive rebound and put off the glass and in to close the gap to 52-45, he notified the officials. After checking with the scorekeeper, the referees instead took three points away from the Blue Jays, resulting in a sixpoint swing. The deficit proved too much to overcome as Junction City lost 68-56. I thought we were going on a run, Junction City junior Tanner Lueker said. And all of the sudden, coach Battle was trying to get three points off of their score and we ended up losing three points and they gained them. I have no idea how that happens, but we still couldve came back, we had enough time. Lueker said it forced Junction City to change the approach down the stretch. Instead of trailing by four

points 49-45, the Blue Jays faced a double-digit deficit. We had to pick up the tempo and try and get more steals, Lueker said. Which we ended up giving up more open layups and had to foul more. The scoring mishap overshadowed a new wrinkle in the Junction City attack. Lawrence, along with sophomore Ray Wilson, were inserted into the starting lineup. The aim was for Lawrence and senior Semaj Johnson to use their size advantage to take the ball to the basket. Johnson and Lawrence combined to score the Blue Jays first eight points of the contest. We worked hard in (Mondays) practice of attacking the basket and emphasized that, Johnson said. We had success. We struggled defensively, but I feel he and I played pretty well. The duo each scored in double digits, with Lawrence netting 12 points and Johnson notching 10 points. Still, Junction City trailed 20-13 after the first quarter. Please see Controversy, 8B

Royals, Holland agree at $4,675,000

B Y D AVE S KRETTA

Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. AllStar closer Greg Holland agreed Wednesday with the Royals to a one-year contract worth $4,675,000, the final player to reach a deal among Kansas Citys players in arbitration. Holland had asked for $5.2 million in arbitration last month and the Royals had offered $4.1 million. They settled just over the midpoint rather than allow a threeperson panel to pick one figure or the other, something that has never happened since general manager Dayton Moore took over the Royals baseball operations in 2006. Holland, who went 2-1 with a 1.21 ERA and a franchiserecord 47 saves last season, will also earn a $50,000 bonus if hes selected for his second All-Star game. Moore said Monday that

NCAA Basketball

Wednesday nights rivalry game between No. 8 Duke and North Carolina has been postponed due to a storm that brought enough snow and ice to paralyze many area roads. A makeup date hasnt been set yet. The decision came about 3 1/2 hours before the teams were scheduled to tip at 9:10 p.m. UNC athletic director Bubba Cunningham said in a statement that Dukes bus wasnt able to make it to the Durham campus to pick up the Blue Devils for the 11-mile drive to Chapel Hill. He called the postponement the best decision to make at this time due to safety concerns. Atlantic Coast Conference policy states that games will go on during bad weather if teams, officials and operations staffers can make it to the venue.

he was confident a deal would get done with Holland, who was eligible for arbitration for the first time, but that he wasnt against going to a hearing. We havent experienced that since weve been here, but its not by design, Moore said. Moore also considered it a good sign the Royals had numerous players eligible for arbitration this year. They had previously reached one-year deals with first baseman Eric Hosmer, outfielder Justin Maxwell, catcher Brett Hayes and relief pitchers Tim Collins, Luke Hochevar and Aaron Crow. They also agreed to a deal with Emilio Bonifacio, who has since been waived. I think its a reflection of a player, what theyve accomplished at this stage of their career, what kind of leverage they have, Moore said. Getting a deal prior to a hearing Please see Royals, 3B

Kansas freshman Joel Embiid dealing with ailments

B Y D AVE S K R E T T A

Associated Press
MANHATTAN Kansas freshman Joel Embiid could miss time with back and knee injuries, and just how much might determine whether the seventhranked Jayhawks still have a shot at landing a No. 1 seed in next months NCAA tournament. The 7-footer has been dealing with a sprained knee and back trouble over the last few weeks, and he only played 18 minutes in an 85-82 overtime loss at rival Kansas State on Monday night. Joel is beat up. Hes beat up, Kansas coach Bill Self said. Im not going to make an excuse for him because you have to perform. But hes going to need some time off. I dont know how much time, but hes going to need some time off. Self said the Jayhawks were hoping to nurse Embiid through the game against Kansas State knowing that theyd have a break before Saturdays game against Big 12 bottom-dweller TCU. Whether Embiid even suits up for that game is unknown. The Jayhawks (18-6, 9-2 Big 12) hold a narrow lead over Texas (18-5, 7-3) in the league race. The Longhorns, who beat Kansas last week in Austin, visit Allen Fieldhouse on Feb. 22. Despite having six losses, the Jayhawks are still in the running for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament thanks mostly to their strength of schedule, by far the best in the country. Each loss has

come against a team that was ranked at some point this season. I think sometimes fans dont understand how hard it is to win away from home, said Self, who had won 22 of his first 25 games against in-state rival Kansas State. One of the seasons breakout stars, Embiid is averaging nearly 11 points and eight rebounds while positioning himself as a potential No. 1 draft pick if he leaves school early. But he only had six points and six rebounds against the

Wildcats, often grabbing at the compression sleeves on his balky knee and holding his ailing side and back. Embiid wasnt available to reporters after the game, but he said in a recent

interview with The Associated Press that he believes he needs to get stronger before entering the NBA, leaving many Jayhawks fans with hope that hell be back for a second season in Lawrence. When I see those guys, Embiid said, man, theyre really big. His limitations Monday night caused even more problems for Kansas when reserve forward Tarik Black turned his ankle fighting for a rebound. Even though he returned to the game, Black whos been dealing with his own nagging injuries played only 22 minutes. Both teams were beat up, Self said after the game. Self also decided to sit another reserve forward, Jamari Traylor, for what the Jayhawks coach deemed irresponsible behavior. Traylor had been averaging nearly 15 minutes, and often provided a big boost of energy off the bench this season. It was a lift the Jayhawks could have needed down the stretch against Kansas State. I think the world of him, but he needed to sit, Self said, declining to say whether the suspension would last more than one game. Ill re-evaluate it and well see.

is going to be more challenging going forward as long as we have players excelling and doing well. Pitchers and catchers are due to report to Surprise, Ariz., on Friday. The Royals first full-squad workout is Feb. 20 with their exhibition opener against Texas on Feb. 27. Holland assumed the closers role in Kansas City late in 2012, and he flourished last season, unleashing an overpowering fastball on an unsuspecting AL Central. He finished third in the majors in saves, and his strikeout rate of 13.84 per nine innings was among the best in baseball. While hes under club control through arbitration for two more years, Holland said during a recent interview that he would be open to discussing a long-term deal with Kansas City. I love the town. I love the fans, he said. Id really take a lot of pride in being here when we took the next step, making the playoffs and eventually winning a championship. Holland should once again serve as the bookend to one of the most dominant bullpens in the American League this season. Most of the key pieces are back from a group that went 33-24 with an AL-best 2.55 ERA and held opponents to a .217 batting average last season. Greg is obviously one of the best closers in all of baseball, Crow said. Whatever we have to do to get the ball to him in the ninth inning, well do. Doesnt matter whether you pitch the second inning or the eighth inning. We just want to give Greg an opportunity to get a save.

No. 4 Wichita St. beats So. Illinois 78-67

B Y D AVE S KRETTA

Associated Press
WICHITA Wichita State funneled into the locker room for some sage advice from coach Gregg Marshall, and wound up getting a little wisdom from Emmy Awardwinner Kirstie Alley instead. She said to the guys, Dont read the reviews, the positive ones and the negative ones. Just play the game, Marshall said after a 78-67 victory over Southern Illinois that ran the No. 4 Shockers record to 26-0. So youre getting it from a Hollywood star. The reviews of this one arent going to be very positive. The Shockers threw the ball away at an uncharacteristic rate. They shot poorly from the perimeter, struggled to defend Salukis star Anthony Beane and found themselves in a four-point hole with very little going right in the early minutes of the second half. But behind 19 points from Ron Baker and 18 from Cleanthony Early, the Shockers (13-0 Missouri Valley Conference) still managed to put Southern Illinois away, becoming the first team since Memphis in 2008 to start 26-0. All that stands in the way of becoming the first team since Saint Josephs in 2004 to have a perfect regular season are five more games. Its cool, you know? Early said. But we take it game by game, day by day. I dont think were looking at an undefeated season because you have to beat the team thats in front of you. Beane scored 25 points for the Salukis (1016, 6-7), getting to the rim at will until late in the game, when the Shockers finally started to double- and triple-team him. Desmar Jackson and Jalen Pendleton added 13 points as Southern Illinois had its

first four-game winning streak in more than four years come to a crashing end. Salukis coach Barry Hinson said the crowd, raucous throughout, was a big factor. Kudos to them, seriously, he said of another sellout at Koch Arena in Alleys hometown. High-five to 10,505 and Kirstie Alley, because I love her. I think shes great. The Shockers trailed at halftime for the ninth time during their unbeaten run, though the 33-32 deficit could have been a whole lot worse the way they were shooting the ball.

Wichita State was just 2 of 14 from 3-point range in the first half, most of them missing just about everything. In fact, the only shots the Shockers seemed to make outside of 3 feet were a series of free throws that Early made to keep them within striking distance. It didnt help that the Shockers were in foul trouble, too. Baker, Early and Fred VanVleet their top three scorers were on the bench with two fouls apiece late in the half. Once they returned after the break, the Shockers started to pick up steam. Early converted a three-point play with 15:47 to put them ahead 44-43, the seventh lead change in the game. Baker added a silky-smooth jumper, then knocked down his first 3 moments later as Wichita State took control and Koch Arena suddenly got rocking. Beane refused to let the Salukis wilt under the pressure. The sophomore guard kept slicing through Wichita States man-to-man defense for baskets near the rim, more than once drawing contact along the way. When the Shockers finally clamped down on him, he deftly found the open teammate for wide-open looks. Pendletons three-point play pulled the Salukis to 69-64 with 2 1/2 minutes left, but Baker answered with his third 3-pointer at the other end. The Shockers turned up the pressure and forced Sean OBrien into a turnover, and that led to a run-out by Baker, who was fouled and calmly made both free throws. Still with a chance to make it a game, Southern Illinois promptly turned it over again, and this time the Salukis allowed VanVleet to go for an uncontested layup that made it 76-64.

Derek Jeter to retire after season Classified

No. 1 Days Day

NEW YORK To Derek Jeter, it was just another day to get ready for spring training. On a minor league field at the New York Yankees complex in Florida, he took batting practice, fielded grounders and chatted with teammates. And then he drove away in his Mercedes, offering no hint that the countdown to his retirement had already begun. Hours later, Jeter alerted the sports world: This will be his final season. I know it in my heart. The 2014 season will be my last year playing professional baseball, Jeter posted Wednesday in a long letter on his Facebook page. I have gotten the very most out of my life playing baseball, and I have absolutely no regrets, the shortstop wrote. While it was no secret the team captain was getting close to the end of his brilliant career as he neared 40 especially after injuries wrecked him last season Jeters announcement caught many by surprise. In fact, some people wondered whether his account had been hacked. But it was quickly confirmed that one of the greatest players in the history of baseballs most storied franchise was serious. A 13-time All-Star shortstop who led the Yankees to five World Series championships, Jeter was the last link to the powerful Yankees teams that won three straight crowns from 1998-2000. Longtime teammates Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte retired after last year. Derek Jeter is Mr. Yankee of his era, Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner told The Associated Press. He was the face of one of the greatest teams ever. Jeter was limited to 17 games last season while trying to recover from a broken left ankle sustained during the 2012 playoffs. He hit only .190 with one homer and seven RBIs. Last year was a tough one for me. As I suffered through a bunch of injuries, I realized that some of the things that always came easily to me and were always fun had started to become a struggle, Jeter wrote. The one thing I always said to myself was that when baseball started to feel more like a job, it

would be time to move forward. So really it was months ago when I realized that this season would likely be my last. As I came to this conclusion and shared it with my friends and family, they all told me to hold off saying anything until I was absolutely 100 percent sure, he wrote. And the thing is, I could not be more sure, he wrote. His agent, Casey Close, said Jeter wanted to declare his intentions before the Yankees start spring training later this week so that his future status wouldnt be a distraction. The Yankees open camp for pitchers and catchers on Friday. Jeter has said hes healthy and ready to go at 39, his next birthday is in June. Derek called me this morning to tell me that he planned to retire following the season, Yankees Managing General Partner Hal Steinbrenner said. Said Los Angeles Dodgers manager Don Mattingly, a former Jeter teammate: Im excited for him. Its kind of nice to see him go out on his own terms. Jeter is the Yankees career hits leader with 3,316. Hes ninth on the all-time list; a 200-hit season would put him in fifth place. Jeter is a lifetime .312 hitter in 19 seasons, with 256 home runs and 1,261 RBIs. He has scored 1,876 runs, stolen 348 bases and is a five-time Gold Glove winner. Added up, his numbers put him among the greats in Yankees history, with fans often invoking the names of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle when mentioning Jeters legacy. But No. 2 is defined by so much more than his numbers. His backhanded flip in the playoffs, his diving catch into the stands, his speech to close old Yankee Stadium and his home run for career hit No. 3,000. An October presence for so many years Jeter is a career .321 hitter in seven World Series he also became Mr. November in 2001. His winning, 10th-inning homer came shortly after midnight in a Game 4 that began on Halloween. Jeter was the AL Rookie of the Year in 1996, the season the Yankees won their first World Series since 1978 and re-established themselves as a major force. He was the MVP of the 2000 World Series. He made me a better player and a better person, longtime teammate Jorge Posada said. Im so proud of our friendship and I love him like a brother. Derek was a true champion. Commissioner Bud Selig said that during his tenure, Major League Baseball has had no finer ambassador than Derek Jeter. A staple for so long in the Yankees lineup, Jeter missed the first 91 games last year. He felt pain in his right quadriceps when he returned July 11 and again went on the disabled list. Jeter came back for three games but strained his right calf. In early September, he was done for the year. The Yankees will open the 2014 regular season on April 1 in Houston. Their final game is scheduled to be at Fenway Park, against the longtime rival Boston Red Sox. New Yorks final regular-season home game is set for Sept. 25 against Baltimore. After Jeters announcement, StubHub said the ticket demand zoomed to make that night the highest-selling game of the 2014 season. Before Wednesday, it wasnt among the top 50 in sales. Rivera said a year in advance that he would retire, and was saluted everywhere he played last season. Jeter is sure to get a similar farewell tour. I wish everybody does it like that, Rivera told ESPN radio. I think that would be the right thing for him to do.

75-year-old brutally beaten by intruder

The Daily Union. Thursday, Feb. 13, 2014

Dennis the Menace

Marmaduke

Dear Annie: I have a 75-year-old friend who was brutally beaten by an intruder. Jim allowed the stranger to enter his home when he claimed he needed to use the telephone. Jim suffered broken bones and a head trauma and spent time in a rehab facility. He still hasnt fully recovered and is mostly confined to bed. Jim has no close family. He abandoned his wife 38 years ago, and his daughter met him for the first time in October. She is his next of kin, and when Jim was in a coma, she had to make some tough decisions about his care. She is not able to be involved as much now because she lives far away. Im in touch with her often, so she is aware of her fathers condition and says he is capable of making informed decisions. The police concur. Jim is alone, depressed and alcoholic. I check on him daily. Hes promised not to kill himself, but he has given up on living. He has very little energy and barely eats despite the fact that food is provided. He just wants to lie in bed, smoke and drink vodka. And thats my problem. I have been meeting his requests for alcohol, but I feel guilty about it. I dont want to contribute to his death by facilitating his drinking, but I fear that depriving him only condemns him to an even more protracted demise. Jim refuses to be hospitalized or return to rehab, because he will not be allowed to smoke or drink, and he wants to die at home. If Jim is to recover, he needs to stop drinking, eat well and exercise, and it would be such a long and arduous road that he does not believe he can do it. Am I right to make him comfortable? Is this compassion or wrongdoing? His Friend Dear Friend: Were going to side with compassion, but please know what you are getting into. While Jim may tell you he is not suicidal, he is doing exactly that by a slower route. You cannot force him to choose life, but you dont want to be overcome with guilt and remorse, either. (And frankly, drinking and smoking in bed is a fire waiting to happen.) Dear Annie: Every gathering of my husbands family means my mother-in-law has to control the day, the conversation, everything. It sucks the life out of me. Not once does she listen to anyone else or ask how they are. She never inquires wheth-

er Im OK. There is never a sincere two-sided conversation. Somehow, everything reverts back to her and her need for attention. She does not get along with her in-laws and refuses to visit them. My father-in-law sees his side of the family on his own. All I can say to every person considering marriage is: Open your eyes. If I had recognized this pattern earlier, as much as I love my husband, I wouldnt have married into this family. Glad the Holidays Are Over Dear Glad: We understand that she is difficult, but we feel sorry for your mother-in-law. She has no idea how to make friends or get people to like her. She must be a terribly unhappy person. Dear Annie: You were dead wrong in your response to N., who asked about helping his mother financially once her money runs out. He is under no obligation to support his mother after Mom blew through all of the money her husband left. This child has worked hard his whole life and owes his mother nothing. I would not pay that lady a dime. Mom chose to spend stupidly, and so now she has to live with that. He needs to just tell her, Sorry, Mom, I am not a bank! Cathy in Michigan Dear Cathy: N. did not ask whether to give money to Mom, only that he wanted to provide for her, within reason. Setting up a limited monthly allowance (and no additional funds) would work and would be a kindness.

ARIES (March 21April 19). The hype around Valentines Day is something youre not entirely fine with, and yet if you dont do a bit of planning now, youre likely to regret it. It will take you less than an hour to get this together. TAURUS (April 20May 20). Who needs your attention? Who deserves it? These may be two different people, and today youll have to choose between them. Youll do the honorable thing, as long as you take the time to consider what that is. GEMINI (May 21June 21). Its your day to generate ideas, brainstorm and participate in other peoples ideas not to the point of making promises, but just to the point of feeling kinship. CANCER (June 22July 22). Retain hours of your life by casting the right person for the job. What takes one experienced person but a few minutes will take a newbie days, if not weeks and months. LEO (July 23Aug. 22). Days of doing nothing at all are extremely valuable, especially during a Mercury retrograde such as this. Such days are a luxury to most people. If you are lucky enough to have this luxury, youll feel the value of it today. VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22). The current cosmic backdrop highlights the dichotomies of your personality. You are becoming kinder and gentler, though you will fight ferociously for the circumstances that allow you to be that way. LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 23). Youll meet with people. A good close is the sign of a good meeting. Recap the information that has come to light, and confirm the agreements that have been made. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Dysfunction within a group may be the norm. Each person has their strengths and weaknesses, and those do not always mesh well in a group setting. Luckily, minimizing dysfunction is a talent of yours. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Make sure you know what people really want before you give your opinion. Most people who ask for feedback are actually seeking attention and praise. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Is there someone who stands to lose if your venture is successful? If so, this is best rooted out and dealt with immediately so it doesnt foul you up when youre closer to victory. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Youll be interacting in a group. It will benefit you to address certain members privately first. Ask about issues that might possibly arise and address them preemptively. PISCES (Feb. 19March 20). Complaining is useless. Youd rather spend your time finding ways to make things better. However, it may feel necessary to note problems privately to yourself so you can address them in an organized way.

But that was all the offense in the opening quarter, when the locals fell behind 10-6. Were trying to play with a lot more urgency, Junction City coach Nate Parks said. Were getting it out of some but were getting it at the wrong times. We need to have it throughout the whole game and were just getting it in spurts. Part of the offensive issues came from Seamans ability to force Junction City to travel and turn the ball over. There was a stretch where the Blue Jays turned the ball over on five consecutive possessions as they tried to work the ball down the court against the Vikings zone defense. They play a style of basketball where theyre playing in a zone and theyve got bigs underneath so theyre going to make you make decisions, Parks said. And our team was not playing as aggressive as they should. So a lot of times when theyre second guessing, its going to turn into turnovers where were mishandling it or travels. In the second quarter, Rains forced a steal and threw it ahead to freshman Darja Russell for the easy layup. Russell scored again shortly before halftime and Junction City entered the break down 21-13. But the Blue Jays spent most of the first half trying to navigate without the inside scoring prowess of Kamm, who was limited to three points early due to foul trouble. Its always going to affect us, Parks said about playing without Kamm. Shes one of our main scorers and one of our leaders, and if she keeps getting in foul trouble it really hurts us and how the game plays out. Kamm found her stride in the second half, scoring eight points on her way to 10 total in the game. Rains led Junction City with 13 points, including knocking down three shots from beyond the arc. Junction City (3-11) hosts Washburn Rural Friday night. Thats something that has to come within, Kamm said. Its something that we each have to find within ourselves. We each have to find our own passion for the game.

CONTROVERSY

Then, Lueker ignited the Blue Jays. The point guard, who has stepped up his scoring in recent weeks, attacked the basket to keep his team in the game. He went on a mini-run of his own, slashing to the rim for a bucket then draining a three on the next possession to bring Junction City within a single bucket, 24-22. Hes trying to be that step-up leader that he can be, Johnson said. And I think hes doing a good job of going up and scoring and get the team going. Lueker added seven points in the final period to score a team-high 14 points. But down the stretch, Seaman sank its free-throw opportunities. Sophomore Reggie Summerall scored all five of his points in the final quarter. Senior Danny Thornton knocked down two 3-point shots in the game, although his second trey, which he made right before the end of the third quarter, is the one in question that sparked the controversy. The loss extends Junction Citys losing streak to eight games. The Blue Jays (4-11) host Washburn Rural on Friday. Mistakes happen, senior Danny Thornton said. It couldnt have come at a worse time, it ruined our momentum but sometimes adversity strikes. But were going to catch a break one of these games, its just bound to happen, a positive will come eventually and it will be huge when it happens.

Larry Brown turning around SMU

BY STEPHEN HAWKINs

Associated Press
DALLAS Larry Brown knows his quick turnaround at SMU is much different than anything the Hall of Fame coach has done in the past. Less than two years after Brown returned to college, a quarter-century after he won a national title at Kansas and with a record nine NBA head jobs to his credit, the No. 23 Mustangs (19-5) are in The Associated Press poll for the first time since March 1985. They are undefeated at home, with three wins over ranked teams in only five weeks. At Kansas and UCLA, I didnt establish those programs. The traditions at North Carolina, Kansas, UCLA, Ive been lucky enough to be part of that, but theres so many people that have done great things there, Brown said. This program was highly thought of, but it was a long time ago. We were hopeful coming here we could be a really terrific program that played at a high level. Only 56 games into Browns tenure, the Mustangs certainly seem to be on a fast track. Im not surprised how quick he turned it around, but I know he has something bigger than just basketball in this moment, point guard Nic Moore said. Hes trying to make us become great men in life. ... That is how hes getting me to be a better player. The Mustangs went more than 10 years without a win over a ranked team before opening the renovated Moody Coliseum with a win over then-No. 17 UConn. They have since posted double-digit wins over Top 25 teams Memphis and Cincinnati, the latter 76-55 on Saturday night for their first on-campus victory over a Top 10 team since 1967. SMU last had multiple victories over ranked teams in 1984-85, the same season they were ranked as high as No. 2 before being No. 20 in the final poll before the NCAA tournament. I never imagined it could be like this for me at (age) 73. I mean, this is

NCAA proposes rule change to slow up-tempo offense

BY RALPH D. RUssO

Associated Press
Not so fast, college football offenses. A proposed change by the NCAA rules committee would prohibit offenses from snapping the ball until at least 10 seconds had run off the 40-second play clock, slowing down the up-tempo, no-huddle attacks that have been making defenses dizzy. The rule allows defenses time to make a substitution without the offense changing players as is currently required and with no fear the ball will be snapped before 29 seconds are left on the play clock. An exception will be made for the final two minutes of each half, when the offense can snap the ball as quickly as it wants. This rules change is being made to enhance student-athlete safety by guaranteeing a small window for both teams to substitute, Air Force coach Troy Calhoun, chair of the football rules committee, said in a statement Wednesday. As the average number of plays per game has increased, this issue has been discussed with greater frequency by the committee in recent years and we felt like it was time to act in the interests of protecting our student-athletes. The committee also proposed a change to the targeting rule that would eliminate the 15-yard penalty when instant replay officials overturn an ejection. Last year, when a targeting penalty was called, the 15-yard penalty stood even if the replay official determined the player should be allowed to stay in the game. Both proposals need approval from the playing rules oversight

SMU coach Larry Brown yells from the sideline against Cincinnati on Saturday in Dallas.
like going back to when I was freshman coach at North Carolina. I feel exactly the same way until I look in the mirror, Brown said. But I still have the same passion. I love coming to practice, I love being around our coaches. I dont think anybody at my age deserves this, and I love it, and I feel real fortunate. Even before the new poll with SMU was released Monday, students were camped out to get tickets for the last three sold-out home games. Brown showed up with doughnuts and coffee, calling that interaction far more meaningful than being ranked. Talk about Moody Madness, all for a team that last went to the NCAA tournament in 1993 and hasnt won a tourney game since 1988, the same year Brown and Kansas won the national title. SMU basketball is suddenly a hot ticket in Dallas. Before the Connecticut game Jan. 4, SMU hadnt sold out a home game since 2001. The Mustangs will have sellouts their last six home games, the next Feb. 19 against Houston after games this week at Rutgers and Temple. When I first got here, it seemed like it was just our parents were here, said senior forward Shawn Williams, who now gets noticed off the court. I was pumping my gas and somebody actually knew who I was. That had never happened before. And it used to be the only reason classmates figured he was a basketball player was his 6-foot-7 frame. Now its crazy, he said. SMU was 15-17 in Browns first season, when five starters played more than 32 minutes a game. That was with Moore and starting big man Markus Kennedy sitting out after transferring and before the addition of three freshmen now making significant contributions. The schools great, Dallas is great. ... Theres great talent around here, were in a great conference, so all the things were in place, Brown said. But I didnt know we could assemble a group like this, the transfers we got, the recruits we have, and the kids we retained. You look at the contribution of the freshmen and the transfers, its given us a chance to be pretty good.

panel, which is schedule to consider them on March 6. The proposal to slow down offenses will have a hard time passing if the many coaches who run up-tempo these days have anything to say about it. Its ridiculous, said Arizonas Rich Rodriguez, who has been at the forefront of the fast football trend. For me it goes back to the fundamental rules of football. The offense knows where they are going and when they are going to snap the ball. Thats their advantage. The defense is allowed to move all 11 guys before the ball is snapped. Thats their advantage. Whats next? You can only have three downs? If you play that extra down you have more chance of injury. Mississippi coach Hugh Freeze said he found about the proposal when he got a phone call from Auburns Gus Malzahn, a fellow advocate of up-tempo offense. I said, Yall are kidding me. Thats not true, Freeze told Malzahn. This is a non-rules change year for the NCAA, but exceptions can be made for rules that affect player safety. There was much discussion about the pace of the game last season, with some coaches most notably Alabamas Nick Saban and Arkansas Bret Bielema questioning whether something needed to be done to slow down offenses. Safety concerns were cited because of the increased number of plays. The fastest-moving teams such as Arizona and Ole Miss average more than 80 plays per game. Texas Tech led the country with 90.3 plays per game last season.
