County officials take oath of office

Bennett new commission chair B y C hase Jordan

c.jordan@thedailyunion.net For the most part, the Geary County Commission chambers are usually empty, but around noon Monday, the room was packed. They were there to witness the swearing in ceremony of several

county officials who took oaths for their current positions. There was one new kid on the block — the person several were there to see. Wearing a sun-faded Geary County Sheriff’s hat, Tony Wolf stood near a wall and waited to raise his hand in front of Geary County Clerk Rebecca Bossemeyer. After being sworn in to become the new Geary County Sheriff, he turned to the crowd and said “Thank you,” after a large applause. Please see County, 10A

t’s a relatively quick and painless process to buy a gun in Junction City — and it seems to be happening more often now than ever. In less than 30 minutes Monday afternoon, Mallory Allgor, the assistant manager at Godfrey’s Indoor Shooting and Archery Ranges, sold two guns to separate customers — one a brand new small handgun and the other a used semi-automatic rifle. As the man who purchased the handgun waited for his background check to wrap up, he told the man examining the rifle he wouldn’t have bought a gun today, but did so because he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to in six months. His fears are shared by many gun owners who believe state and federal legislators may make serious pushes to restrict access to certain types of firearms. Gun control advocates have received even more motivation from recent events, such as the Dec. 14 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., that took the lives of 20 children and six staff members. In Kansas, gun control debates grew even more fierce after two Topeka police officers were shot and killed Dec. 16.

... with Chris Mathis, co-owner of Jack and Dick’s Pawn Shop How have recent events (Connecticut school shooting, Topeka police officers) affected gun sales at Jack and Dick’s?

Our gun sales are up 30 percent in store and on our website. I believe that the interest in guns has increased after recent tragedies due in part to our customers’ concern for their own personal safety but mainly from worry that lawmakers might ban certain firearms.

Are recent events a topic of conversation with customers buying guns at the store? What comments are heard or discussed?

There is major concern surrounding Sen. Feinstein’s bill and what it means for our gun rights. While everyone agrees that the recent events are grievous, there is much discussion over how any law can stop a disturbed individual who is hell-bent on committing a violent act. Please see Q&A, 10A

JUNCTION CITY COMMISSION

Closer to saving Gatherings? Commission also to address Helland Park path, pit bull ban B y T im Weideman

city.beat@thedailyunion.net The Junction City Commission is ringing in the new year with a full plate of items on the agenda for its first meeting of 2013. At the top of the list Tuesday night is a public hearing to consider submission of a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) that, if awarded, would provide a maximum of $250,000 to help Gatherings on the Prairie expand and remain in Junction City. The grant, which is through the Kansas Department of Commerce, would provide some funds to repair the cityowned building located at 617 N. Washington St., which neighbors the popular home decoration and accessory store. On Dec. 18, the commission approved an option contract for the sale of the building to Gatherings for $10. Commis-

sioners also will consider approval of the contract, which states the sale will proceed if the grant is awarded and the city determines Gatherings has enough funds, including the grant, to repair the building.

City seeking grant for pathway

City staff hopes commissioners will support a Kansas Department of Transportation grant to help fund the construction of a bicycle and pedestrian pathway along K-18 from Rucker Road to Spring Valley Road and Wildcat Lane. The need for a pathway in that area coincides with the overall KDOT-funded US-77 improvements, according to a memo from staff to commissioners. The pathway would provide a “much-needed” non-motorized link between the residential areas of the city, Junction City Middle School, parks and

The Transportation Enhancement Grant program (TEG) would help fund the project, which would be conducted in three phases. Separate TEG grants would be used for each project phase and applications would be timed for pathway construction to follow KDOT construction, which is scheduled to begin in 2014. Through the grant program, the city would be required to pay all engineering design costs and 20 percent of construction costs for the pathway. KDOT has estimated the pathway’s first phase — construction on the north side of K-18 from the US-77 and K-18 interchange to Rucker Road — could cost $1.2 million because of the steep terrain. However, the city is working with engineers from BG Consultants to evaluate other options, such as alternate routes through Helland Park, to bring that cost down to a Please see City, 10A

Headlines from the weekend

Massive corruption case going to trial B y L inda D eutsch

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Six former officials of the scandalridden city of Bell go on trial this week in a massive corruption case that nearly bankrupted the Los Angeles suburb. The former mayor and vice mayor and four former City Council members are charged with misappropriation of public funds in a 20-count felony complaint. Prosecutors claim they looted the city’s treasury in order to pay themselves exorbitant salaries. The complaint says sham commissions were created to enrich the defendants. Two major figures in the scam are not part of this trial. Former City Manager Robert Rizzo and Assistant City Manager Angela Spaccia are scheduled to be tried separately. They have been accused of making millions while hiking taxes and fees for residents in the modest, blue-collar suburb where many live in poverty. Jury selection begins Tuesday and the trial is scheduled to last seven weeks. Key witnesses are expected to be former city employees and officials who discovered the shady dealings and were granted immunity from prosecution for their testimony. A judge who presided at a preliminary hearing for the officials concluded they had shirked their responsibili-

ties and sold out their constituents for financial gain. “These people were elected to be the voice of the people, to be a safeguard,” said Superior Court Judge Henry Hall, who ordered them held for trial. “And they basically sold that off.” Defense attorneys had argued that the council members earned their salaries, working full time on the city’s behalf, not only attending monthly council meetings but taking part in community projects that benefited low-income people, the aged and numerous others. Prosecutors contend that Rizzo had an annual salary and compensation package worth $1.5 million and masterminded a scheme to loot the city of Bell of more than $6 million. His assistant city manager, Spaccia, was paid $376,288 a year Council members drew salaries of about $100,000 a year, which Hall said was about 20 times more than they were entitled to make. The six defendants are expected to claim they worked hard for the city and were unaware of Rizzo’s financial manipulations.

Newtown weighs fate of Sandy Hook Elementary School B y D ave C ollins

The Associated Press NEWTOWN, Conn. — Newtown residents are divided on what to do with the school building where

26 people were killed, with some favoring demolition and construction of a memorial and others encouraging renovations. Many passionately gave their opinions at an emotional public meeting Sunday about the fate of Sandy Hook Elementary. “I have two children who had everything taken from them,” said Audrey Bart, whose children attend the school but weren’t injured in the shooting. “The Sandy Hook Elementary School is their school. It is not the world’s school. It is not Newtown’s school. We cannot pretend it never happened, but I am not prepared to ask my children to run and hide. You can’t take away their school.” But fellow Sandy Hook parent Stephanie Carson said she can’t imagine ever sending her son back to the building. “I know there are children who were there who want to go back,” Carson said. “But the reality is, I’ve been to the new school where the kids are now, and we have to be so careful just walking through the halls. They are still so scared.” The meeting at Newtown High School drew about 200 people. A second meeting is set for Friday. Town officials also are planning private meetings with the victims’ families to get their input. Police say Adam Lanza, 20, killed 20 first-graders and six adults in the Dec. 14 massacre at Sandy Hook. They say he killed his moth-

Lawmakers mulling ballot measure on schools

B y J ohn H anna

The Associated Press TOPEKA — Conservative Republicans who control the Kansas Legislature want to revise the state constitution to rein in the courts following a ruling that the state must boost its spending on public schools, several GOP leaders confirmed Monday. The leaders told The Associated Press that interest among Republican legislators in a constitutional amendment has been high since the ruling Friday by a three-judge panel in Shawnee County District Court. The leaders aren’t sure yet what form the proposal will take but said it would clarify that only the Legislature — and not the courts — can determine school funding levels. “There’s been a whole lot of discussion about what the response should be,” said new Senate Vice President Jeff King, a conservative Independence Republican who is also Judiciary Committee chairman. “Submitting that question to the people of Kansas to decide seems like a pretty good idea to me.”

A constitutional change must be adopted by a twothirds majorities in both chambers — which Republicans have — and be approved by a simple majority of voters in a statewide election. Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce, a conservative Hutchinson Republican, said the goal is to put a measure to a vote as quickly as possible, perhaps even in a special election. The three-judge panel declared that the state must boost aid to public schools by at least $440 million a year to meet its obligations under the state constitution to provide a suitable education to every child. And, in a move particularly irritating to conservatives, the judges criticized legislators for claiming the state couldn’t afford to spend more on schools while enacting massive income tax cuts last year to stimulate the economy. The attorney general’s office already has promised to appeal, but it’s not clear how quickly the Kansas Supreme Court could issue a final ruling. GOP leaders continued to denounce the decision Monday and said they’ll

pursue initiatives to make schools more accountable and give parents more choice in schooling. “Money is not the only part of the equation,” House Speaker Ray Merrick, a conservative Stilwell Republican, said during a Statehouse news conference. Democrats, moderate Republicans and education groups are likely to resist any proposed constitutional change, arguing that the Legislature has a duty to comply with the court order. “There’s a purpose for the three branches of the government, and I would hate to see a particular Legislature that we have in office right now usurp that balance,” Karen Godfrey, president of the Kansas National Education Association, the state’s largest teachers’ union, said during an interview. “It’s clear that we have a constitutional mandate to fund our schools suitably.” The education article of the state constitution commands legislators to “make suitable provision for finance of the educational interests of the state.” The Supreme Court has said in

rulings in 2005 and 2006 that lawmakers must finance an adequate education for every child, keep up with rising educational costs and ensure that schools continually improve. But House Majority Leader Jene Vickrey, a conservative Louisburg Republican, said lawmakers are frustrated because they believe the courts have exceeded their constitutional authority in weighing in on school funding. He said GOP lawmakers see any constitutional changes as merely clarifying the issue. “We have the purse strings,” he said in an interview. “Most of us believe that it’s already black and white.” Conservative lawmakers pushed for constitutional changes after the earlier Supreme Court rulings, but such measures were blocked by Democrats and GOP moderates. The Senate had been controlled by GOP moderates, who often worked with centrist and liberal Democrats, but conservatives have a strong majority after last year’s elections.

Husband may be overcompensating Dear Annie: I used to travel a fair amount for my job. These trips included lunches and dinners with my co-workers, sometimes in groups, sometimes not. At no time did I ever have the faintest interest in having an affair. But my husband thinks otherwise. During the entire time I traveled, he constantly accused me of sleeping with “somebody.” I never once gave him a reason to think I was cheating. I recognized that this was just his way of dealing with his own insecurities and poor self-image. I have not worked for a number of years, but on occasion, he stills insinuates that I had affairs. Instead of being supportive of my hard work then and now, he thinks it’s more important to keep suggesting that I’m always looking for someone else to sleep with. How do I get him to stop? — Not a Cheater Dear Not: Your husband sounds overly suspicious. We don’t mean to add to the problem, but sometimes those who are having affairs accuse the spouse of the same offense. Tell your husband that his continuing accusations undermine your trust and make you wonder what is really going on. Counseling could help get to the bottom of it. If he is unwilling, you can choose to turn a deaf ear or get counseling on your own. However, if his accusations become more strident or more frequent, this could indicate mental health or medical issues, and he should see his doctor. Dear Annie: I recently made a new friend at work. We have known each other for three months, and we get along great. However, imagine my surprise last week when she told me she used my first name on an online dating site. At first I just thought it was a little weird, but now I feel really uncomfortable about it and don’t know what to do. How can I get her to change her online profile without ruining our work relationship? — Miffed Dear Miffed: This was presumptuous but not disastrous. If she used only your first name and the rest of her information is her own, it’s annoying but not compromising. However, the fact that she would do this without consulting you indicates that she could easily take other liberties down the road, so you are smart to nip this in the bud. Be nice but honest. Say, “Dottie, remember when

you said you used my first name on your dating profile? It really made me uncomfortable. And prospective dates don’t like that sort of thing, either. Please change it immediately.” If she is the type who would end a friendship over this, consider it a bullet dodged. Dear Annie: Hats off to you for printing the letter about World Suicide Prevention Day and bringing awareness to one of the most difficult events that happens in life. Only when you walk in these shoes do you understand what a person is going through when they become a survivor of a suicide. I lost my nephew to suicide in 2008. As difficult as it was, I sought the support of our local Survivors of Suicide support group. They understood exactly what our family was going through. Through their love, support and compassion, I was able to hold myself together. It has now been four years, and my life has gone on, but not without difficult days and sadness. Without the support group, it would have been much more difficult. I continue with the support group so that the incoming folks can see that life goes beyond their present grief. Please, if you find yourself in this situation, seek out S.O.S. through a national hotline, your local family services or on the Internet, for they understand your pain, and they give you hope when such darkness shadows your life. — S.O.S.

Obama: Debt limit fight imperils elderly’s checks By and

J im Kuhnhenn A ndrew T aylor

The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Declaring “we are not a deadbeat nation,” President Obama warned on Monday that Social Security checks and veterans’ benefits will be delayed if congressional Republicans fail to increase the government’s borrowing authority in a looming showdown over the nation’s debt and spending. Obama said he was willing to negotiate deficit reduction with GOP leaders but insisted that those talks be separate from decisions to raise the $16.4 trillion debt ceiling and avert a possible first-ever national default.

As some legislators weigh gun control possibilities, many people, including Junction City residents, are flocking to firearms dealers. However, before Allgor could close both sales, she had to go through FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). After answering several phone calls and questions from people in the busy store, Allgor explained the relatively quick process. “I just have to wait until they say you’re OK,” she said about the time each check takes. “It just depends.” A background check could result in one of three outcomes: proceed, delay or deny. Allgor said she’s never had to deny a purchase. A quick look at the numbers shows Allgor and stores like Godfrey’s are as busy as ever. The FBI reported a record 2.8 million NICS firearm background checks in December. More than 35,000 of those background check requests came from Kansas. That compares to October 2012 numbers totaling 1.6 million nationwide and 16,000 in Kansas. In December of 2011, the number of FBI background checks was 1.8 million, including 21,000 in Kansas. For Allgor, the two checks Monday afternoon simply were short phone conversations. At Godfrey’s, it’s not just the guns that are flying off the shelves at a rate well above average. Owner Todd Godfrey said his business also is seeing increases in Kansas concealed carry class registrations and demand for the facility’s shooting range. “We’ve been extremely busy,” Godfrey said of the past month. “Part of it was the holiday season. The other part was the fear the government was going to take your guns away.” Quantico Tactical, which is located next to Godfrey’s on Washington Street, also has seen a rise in sales. Quantico owner and retired Marine David Hensley said what Junction City is seeing is on par with the rest of the nation.

Q&A Continued from Page 1A

Are you concerned about federal, state or local legislation being put in place that would make it harder to purchase guns or completely restrict access to more powerful guns such as assault rifles? Why are you or why are you not concerned?

I am concerned with any antiConstitutional legislation that takes away our gun rights. Millions of Americans own so-called “assault rifles” and “high-capacity” magazines for their rifles and handguns for selfdefense, target shooting and hunting. These are law-abiding citizens. Many are law enforcement, and many are veterans. According to Sen. Feinstein’s bill, if these gun owners are to keep their semi-automatic rifles deemed as “assault rifles,” they will have to register each one with the federal government, be fingerprinted and photographed, and must pay a $200 tax on each rifle. Also included in the bill is

“They will not collect a ransom in exchange for not crashing the American economy,” Obama said in a news conference one week before he is sworn in for a second term. “What I will not do is to have that negotiation with a gun at the head of the American people.” Bitter brinkmanship between the White House and congressional Republicans over spending has become a defining event over the past four years, testing both Obama’s leverage and his resolve at different moments of his presidency. House Speaker John Boehner brushed off Obama’s insistence on separating the debt ceiling from negotiations over spending cuts.

“Obviously, there’s been a significant increase in business,” Hensley said. “Because citizens are afraid that they’re going to lose their right to purchase certain items.” Hensley started Quantico in 2004 after retiring from the Marines. Headquartered in North Carolina, his business establishes locations near military bases. Hensley said gun sales are rising across the nation. “There’s increased demand for these items everywhere,” he said. “It’s unprecedented in demand. I’ve been loosely or tightly connected with the industry for 14 or 15 years now, and I’ve never seen anything like it.” As to what has caused people to buy more guns and ammunition, Hensley said he only can speculate. “I don’t know what’s driving this,” he said. “I can speculate, but rational or not, obviously, people feel that there’s going to be some sort of restrictions put on their right to purchase and possess certain types of firearms.” The surge in firearms sales at Godfrey’s started before recent tragedies, although those events further boosted sales, according to Godfrey. “We’ve seen a huge increase in firearms sales in the last three months, most particularly in the last 30 to 45 days since (the recent shootings),” he said. With his sales increasing, Godfrey said he also tells customers the importance of taking the safety and concealed carry courses his business offers. Godfrey, who also is a sergeant at the Junction City Police Department, has other JCPD officers teach some of the safety courses. “I think it’s very important to go through a safety course or a Kansas concealed carry course,” he said. “Our class goes more in-depth on situations you might encounter. You may not be familiar with all the aspects of the liability or responsibility of carrying a firearm.” Practice also is essential in developing respect for and proper usage of guns, Godfrey said. “We recommend people who own firearms shoot through one box of ammo a month,” he said. “It builds muscle memory.”

the prohibition of transfer. If the Feinstein bill becomes law, the rifle would remain with the current owner until their death, at which point the rifle will be forfeited to the federal government and not permitted to be passed down to their heirs. None of this sits well with my customers.

“The American people do not support raising the debt ceiling without reducing government spending at the same time,” Boehner said. “The consequences of failing to increase the debt ceiling are real, but so, too, are the consequences of allowing our spending problem to go unresolved. Underscoring the urgency, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said in a letter to Boehner on Monday that the government will exhaust its borrowing limit as soon as mid-February, earlier than expected. The Treasury has been using bookkeeping maneuvers to keep from surpassing the debt ceiling, but Geithner said those measures will be exhausted by mid-February to early March.

limit of $600,000. If commissioners approve the KDOT grant for Phase I, the city would fund about $53,000 for design and $106,000 for the construction in 2014 through the city’s special highway fund. On Tuesday, commissioners will consider supporting a grant only for Phase I of the project. The grant submission deadline is Feb. 15. The memo states KDOT intends to provide the earthwork for the trail along the west side of Spring Valley Road and on the north side of K-18 from Spring Valley Road to the east side of the US-77 and K-18 interchange. Staff believes this will help limit costs during the second and third phases.

Wolf was elected to the position in November. Jim Jensen retired from being sheriff effective yesterday. “I just can’t express enough how important and how proud I am to be in this position,” Wolf said after taking the oath. Some of his future plans include to upgrade computer equipment to fight cybercrime. “That’s probably my biggest goal right now,” Wolf said to local media outlets. One of his objectives is to keep cooperating with the Junction City Police Department and build upon that relationship. He said it was something his former boss did well. “I want to build upon that and make it better,” Wolf said. His undersheriff Brad Clark is scheduled to begin work in the position today. Clark served as Grandview

In addition to noting possible effects on older Americans and veterans, Obama recited a litany of possible consequences if Congress fails to raise the debt ceiling, including sending the economy back into recession. “We might not be able to pay our troops, or honor our contracts with small business owners,” he said. “Food inspectors, air traffic controllers, specialists who track down loose nuclear materials wouldn’t get their paychecks. Investors around the world will ask if the United States of America is in fact a safe bet. Markets could go haywire, interest rates would spike for anybody who borrows money. Every homeowner with a mortgage, every student

with a college loan, every small business owner who wants to grow and hire.” At this moment, the government faces three looming deadlines: The debt limit must be raised soon to meet spending obligations and prevent a first-ever default, a series of across-theboard spending cuts is to kick in on March 1, and funding for most government programs will run out on March 27. After Obama won tax rate increases for wealthier Americans during budget negotiations last month, Republicans became doubly determined to win spending cuts. They see the confluence of events ahead of April 1 as their best opportunity.

Proponents of the Flint Hills Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) have said it will lead cohesive transportation improvements that benefit every community in the region. Opponents, on the other hand, aren’t sold on whether it will benefit Junction City and Geary County. City commissioners last week discussed the agreements that organize the MPO. “I think it makes good, long-term sense for Junction City to be part of this organization,” Landes said after last week’s workshop. “We’ve got to make sure these traffic patterns and this planning works for everyone in the long term.” An MPO’s primary responsibility is to carry

out transportation planning processes so, ideally, state transportation investments and improvements are used to benefit the overall area. But some, such as Johnson, aren’t so sure jumping on board is the best route. “I’m kind of always wondering why you always need another group telling you how you need to spend your money,” Johnson said last week. The MPO would not determine what projects are conducted in those jurisdictions. It could, however, provide better planning to ensure long-term and future projects complement one another. Funds from each jurisdiction would go toward these planning operations. City commissioners will consider signing designation and fiscal agreements that determine decisionmaking power and financial responsibility. In April, the U.S. Census Bureau notified Manhattan it was classified as an urbanized area, which requires the establishment of an MPO. The MPO area includes Manhattan, Junction City and Ogden, and Geary, Riley and Pottawatomie Counties. Should all municipalities involved approve the designation agreement, a commissioner from each local government and a

representative from the Kansas Department of Transportation would be voting members. Representatives from Fort Riley, the Federal Highway Administration Kansas Division Office, the Federal Transit Administration Region 7 Office and another representative from one of the voting jurisdictions will act as nonvoting board members. The designation agreement gives Manhattan’s representative the most power when it comes to voting matters. Its representative would have three votes. Junction City’s representative will have two votes. All other representatives have one vote. Manhattan’s representative has the most votes because the city represents the highest percentage of the MPO area’s population. For that reason, Manhattan also has the most financial responsibility. Under the proposed fiscal agreement, Manhattan would pay an average of $59,918 per year for five years. During that same period, the proposal calls for Junction City to pay an average of $26,764 each year. Geary County would pay an average of $3,564 per year.

Plaza’s police chief for nine years. “Brad brings with him a lot of experience,” Wolf said about his service, which began in the early 1980s. “It should be a very smooth transition into the office.” The long-time Geary County resident said it was a honor to serve those he grew up with. “This is something I wanted to do every since I was in school,” Wolf said. Others who took oaths included Larry Hicks and Florence Whitebread, county commissioners; Bossemeyer, county clerk; Kathy Tremont, treasurer; Diane Briestensky Leonard, register of deeds; and Steven Opat, county attorney. Later during the day, county commissioner Ben Bennett was selected for the chair position, which was previously occupied by Whitebread. As chair, one of his goals is to solidify regional con-

cerns and to continue work with the Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce. “Economic development has to rise, and they’re working on it as region and what we can attract,” Bennett said. “If we get it in the region, it’s going to help everybody.” In addition, he also wants to continue a solid relationship with Fort Riley. Hicks, who was selected for the vice chair position, said he was honored to serve another four years. “It will give me some time to pursue some other issues that I didn’t have quite enough time to do so in a way in which I thought would be effective,” Hicks said. “I’m looking forward to even greater outreach to the general community as whole and District Two.” Hicks also mentioned financial challenges from the state. “Given the fact that the governor is making tax

cuts a major priority, it’s going to have an impact on counties across the state,” Hicks said. “It’s going to come down to what services are eliminated, if not minimized. I think it’s going to be a detriment to the general public.” In 2013, Whitebread said she would like to see the service area for the Flint Hills Area Transportation Agency increase. “I continually hear it from the public that they are so pleased with what we have now, that they need more ridership availability,” Whitebread said. Geary County will receive a second bus in late summer and Whitebread is anxious to see how it’s going to workout. “The need is there,” Whitebread said. Whitebread will serve as secretary for the commission. The commissioners decided to keep their same positions on advisory boards as representatives.

in Junction City has been a “significant point of contention,” according to a staff memo. At the committee’s last meeting, members discussed putting the issue before citizens in the upcoming city election in April. City staff has requested guidance from commissioners on the topic. That is expected tonight.

Commission to consider MPO agreements

What is the store’s policy for buying or selling guns?

When a customer wants to pawn or sell a firearm, they must produce a valid state or military identification card and sign a contract stating that the firearm has been legally acquired. A copy of that contract is sent to local law enforcement. When a customer redeems or purchases a firearm, they must undergo an FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check (NICS) before the firearm may be transferred. Any felony or domestic violence conviction will result in the denial of transfer. Federal Firearms Licensees are strictly regulated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and undergo periodic inspections to ensure that we are in compliance with all regulations. Jack and Dick’s Pawn Shop has been a firearms dealer since 1958. We are proud to be the oldest gun store in Geary County.

Nike announces deal with McIlroy

Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods are on the same team now — at least when it comes to sponsorship. McIlroy officially made the switch to the swoosh on Monday as Nike confirmed one of the worst-kept secrets in golf, announcing it had signed a multi-year deal with the topranked Northern Irishman. The deal means Nike now has golf’s two biggest names representing its brand, as Woods has been with the sportswear company since turning pro in 1996. Nike did not disclose any financial details of the deal, but industry observers have estimated that McIlroy will be paid up to $20 million a year to use the company’s equipment and apparel. The partnership with McIlroy was announced in a lavish ceremony in the United Arab Emirates ahead of this week’s Abu Dhabi Golf Championship, where he will use the company’s equipment for the first time. The event opened with a hologram of McIlroy swinging a club and included a video showing Woods, Roger Federer and Wayne Rooney welcoming him to Nike.

Special to the Daily Union Ten members of the Junction City wrestling team traveled to Basehor, Kan., this past Saturday to take part in the annual Basehor-Linwood Tournament. The tournament is said to be harder than the state tournament, partly because this event also hosts schools from Colorado, Iowa, Missouri, and Oklahoma. Out of the 10 students who participated, six Blue Jay wrestlers placed in the tournament. All who traveled, however were able to contribute points to the team, helping the wrestlers place sixth out of 36 teams.

Louisville jumps to No. 1

Rick Pitino is guessing his Louisville Cardinals won’t be the last team to be No. 1 this season. The Cardinals took advantage of losses by Duke and Michigan to move up two spots to No. 1 on Monday in The Associated Press’ Top 25 poll. This is just the second time in school history they’re on top. The other time was the final poll of 2008-09, a season in which they reached the final eight of the NCAA tournament. Louisville (15-1) was one of five teams to receive a firstplace vote this week, and that backs Pitino’s point. “I think the top teams will play musical chairs for No. 1 for the next two months and it will be really significant at the end of the year,” Pitino said Monday, hours before the Cardinals took their No. 1 ranking into a game at Connecticut. “We played a tough nonconference schedule and I’m really happy the way our guys have battled through injuries. We’ll try to hold the musical top as long as we can.”

Chiefs introduce Dorsey as new GM B y D ave S kretta

The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs introduced longtime Packers executive John Dorsey as their new general manager Monday, turning over a team that was 2-14 to one of the men responsible for building Green Bay into a consistent winner. Dorsey moves into the front office after the firing of Scott Pioli, who helped the Chiefs achieve one winning record in four tumultu-

ous seasons. He will have final say over all personnel decisions, including the draft, and will report to Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt. Dorsey played for the Packers and later was a scout and director of scouting while new Chiefs coach Andy Reid was an assistant in Green Bay. Dorsey left to spend a year in Seattle, but returned to the Packers and rose to director of football operations. “This has been a six-day journey, and it’s been awesome,” said Dorsey, whose hiring was announced while the Packers were

playing the 49ers in the NFC playoffs Saturday night. “We would like to be consistently competitive in this division, this conference and ultimately the Super Bowl. That’s why we’re here, to do the job,” Dorsey said. “I’m going to do everything within my God-given ability to make sure we have a competitive team in the NFL.” Hunt has moved quickly to restructure the Chiefs since the end of the season, when he dismissed coach Romeo Crennel and Please see Dorsey, 6B

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Shane Southwell saw to it that No. 18 Kansas State’s winning streak would reach six games. The junior made two free throws with 21 seconds left, then blocked Gary Browne’s layup attempt with 1 second to go to preserve the Wildcats’ 65-64 win over West Virginia on Saturday. “We fought too hard for that game,” Southwell said. “We just needed to find a way to win.” Southwell and Rodney McGruder both had 17 points for the Wildcats (13-2, 2-0 Big 12). For Southwell, it was a career high and marked only the second time in double figures over a stretch of a dozen games. “He did a tremendous job of stepping up,” McGruder said. Jabarie Hinds had a career-high 15 points for West Virginia, (8-7, 1-2). Aaric Murray added 11 points and Terry Henderson scored 10. The lead changed hands six times over the final eight minutes. After Southwell’s free throws, West Virginia had two chances to retake the lead. But Hinds missed a wild jumper from 16 feet with 12 seconds left. Please see Wildcats, 6B

LAWRENCE — Ben McLemore scored 17 points before leaving in the final minutes with a right ankle injury, and fourthranked Kansas rolled to a 61-44 victory over Baylor on Monday night. McLemore hit a 3-pointer and then scored an alley-oop dunk off a feed from Elijah Johnson to make it 61-42 with 2:44 remaining. The Jayhawks were back on offense when the freshman appeared to turn his ankle, lying on the court for several minutes while a trainer examined it. McLemore eventually stood up and was helped to the Kansas locker room. The injury was just about the only thing that didn’t go right for Kansas (15-1, 3-0 Big 12), which won its 14th straight game to match the fourth-longest streak in the Bill Self era. Johnson added 12 points and Travis Releford had 10, while the Jayhawks’ defense held the Bears (11-5, 3-1) to 23.2 percent shooting and just 9 of 42 from inside the 3-point arc.

Before he was done, several members were in tears when he urged them to continue the charity’s mission, helping cancer patients and their families. “Heartfelt and sincere,” is how Livestrong spokesman Katherine McLane described his speech. Armstrong later huddled with almost a dozen people before stepping into a room set up at a downtown Austin hotel for the interview. The group included close friends and advisers, two of his lawyers and Bill Stapleton, his agent, manager and business partner. They exchanged handshakes and smiles, but declined comment when approached by a reporter. Most members of that group left the hotel through the front entrance around 5 p.m., although Armstrong was not with them. No further details about the interview were available immediately because of confidentiality agreements signed by both camps. But Winfrey promoted it as a “no-holds barred” session, and after the voluminous USADA report — which included testimony from 11 former teammates — she had plenty of material for questions. USADA chief executive Travis Tygart, a longtime critic of Armstrong’s, called the drug regimen practiced while Armstrong led the U.S. Postal Service team, “The most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program

The confession was a stunning reversal, after years of public statements, interviews and court battles in which he denied doping and zealously protected his reputation. Winfrey tweeted afterward, “Just wrapped with (at)lancearmstrong More than 2 1/2 hours. He came READY!” She was scheduled to appear on “CBS This Morning” on Tuesday to discuss the interview. Even before the taping session with Winfrey began around 1 p.m. Armstrong’s apology suggested he would carry through on promises over the weekend to answer her questions “directly, honestly and candidly.” The cyclist was stripped of his Tour de France titles, lost most of his endorsements and was forced to leave the foundation last year after the U.S. AntiDoping Agency issued a damning, 1,000-page report that accused him of masterminding a long-running doping scheme. About 100 staff members of the charity Armstrong founded in 1997 gathered in a conference room as Armstrong arrived with a simple message: “I’m sorry.” He choked up during a 20-minute talk, expressing regret for the long-running controversy tied to performance-enhancers had caused, but stopped short of admitting he used them.

that sport has ever seen.” Armstrong also went after his critics ruthlessly during his reign as cycling champion. He scolded some in public and didn’t hesitate to punish outspoken riders during the race itself. He waged legal battles against still others in court. Betsy Andreu, the wife of former Armstrong teammate Frankie Andreu, was one of the first to publicly accuse Armstrong of using performance-enhancing drugs. She called news of Armstrong’s confession “very emotional and very sad,” and got choked up as well when asked to comment. “He used to be one of my husband’s best friends and because he wouldn’t go along with the doping, he got kicked to the side. Lance could have a positive impact if he tells the truth on

everything. He’s got to be completely honest,” she said. At least one of his opponents, the London-based Sunday Times, has already filed a lawsuit to recover about $500,000 it paid him to settle a libel case, and Dallas-based SCA Promotions, which tried to deny Armstrong a promised bonus for a Tour de France win, has threatened to bring yet another lawsuit seeking to recover more than $7.5 million an arbitration panel awarded the cyclist in that dispute. In addition, former teammate Floyd Landis, who was stripped of the 2006 Tour de France title for doping, has filed a federal whistle-blower lawsuit that accused Armstrong of defrauding the U.S. Postal Service.

whether it will join the suit as a plaintiff. The lawsuit most likely to be influenced by a confession might be the Sunday Times case. Potential perjury charges stemming from Armstrong’s sworn testimony in the 2005 arbitration fight would not apply because of the statute of limitations. Armstrong was not deposed during the federal investigation that was closed last year. Armstrong is said to be worth around $100 million. But most sponsors dropped him after USADA’s scathing report — at the cost of tens of millions of dollars — and soon after, he left the board of Livestrong. After the USADA findings, he was also barred from competing in the elite triathlon or running events he participated in after his

cycling career. World AntiDoping Code rules state his lifetime ban cannot be reduced to less than eight years. WADA and U.S. AntiDoping officials could agree to reduce the ban further depending on what information Armstrong provides and his level of cooperation. Whether his confession would begin to heal those ruptures and restore that reputation remains to be seen. Diagnosed with testicular cancer in October 1996, the disease soon spread to his lungs and brains. Armstrong’s doctors gave him a 40 percent chance of survival at the time and never expected he’d compete at anything more strenuous than gin rummy. Winning the demanding race less than three years later made Armstrong a hero.

Ravens-Pats, 49ers-Falcons on tap for titles B y E ddie P ells

The Associated Press One game is a rematch. The other might feel like one — at least to one of the teams. For the second straight year in the AFC, the New England Patriots will host the Baltimore Ravens with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. In the NFC, it will be San Francisco traveling to Atlanta, with the Falcons defense trying to stop a versatile, running quarterback for the second straight week. “Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick are mobile quarterbacks who throw the ball at extremely accurate levels,” Falcons safety Thomas DeCoud said. “We can use this game as a cheat sheet to prepare for next week.” On Sunday, the Falcons barely got past Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks, who overcame a 20-point deficit to take a one-point lead, but gave it up after Matt Ryan drove Atlanta into field goal range and Matt Bryant made a 49-yard kick with 8 seconds left. Atlanta is the only team not making a repeat appearance in the NFL’s final four. Last year, it was the Giants playing, and beating, the 49ers for the NFC title. On Saturday, Kaepernick passed for 263 yards and rushed for 181 — a playoff record for a quarterback — to defeat Green Bay 45-31. “We’re one step closer to where we want to be,” said Kaepernick. San Francisco hasn’t been to the Super Bowl since 1995, when Steve Young led the 49ers to their fifth Lombardi Trophy. Though the Niners must travel cross country for the game, they opened as 3-point favorites in a meeting of teams that played twice a year until 2003, when Atlanta was moved from the NFC West to the NFC South. Their only previous playoff meeting was a 20-18 win for the Falcons in the 1998 divisional playoffs. Atlanta won at Minnesota the next week to make its only Super Bowl. San Francisco’s 20-17 overtime loss last year to the Giants was part of a tense day of football that began with New England’s 23-20 victory over the Ravens in the AFC title

game. In that game, Billy Cundiff missed a 32-yard field goal that would have tied the game with 11 seconds left. This season, Justin Tucker beat out Cundiff for the kicker’s job. Tucker hit a 47-yarder against Denver on Saturday to lift the Ravens to a 38-35 win in double overtime, extending Ray Lewis’ career for at least one more week and putting the 17-year veteran one win away from his second Super Bowl. “We fought hard to get back to this point and we’re definitely proud of being here,” Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco said. “We feel like it’s going to take a lot for somebody to come and kick us off that field come the AFC championship game.” Lewis and the Ravens will have to stop the NFL’s most potent offense. The Patriots put up 457 yards in a 41-28 victory over Houston, which left them one win away from their sixth Super Bowl in the 2000s. “I think the two best teams are in the final,” Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said. “Baltimore certainly deserve to be here and so do we.” The Patriots were made early 9 1/2-point favorites against the Ravens. These teams met in the regular season and that game was also decided by a kick — Tucker’s 27-yard field goal that sneaked through the right upright for a 31-30 victory. Or did it? While the Ravens were celebrating, Pats coach Bill Belichick ran to midfield and grabbed a replacement official’s arm as he tried to exit the field. The NFL fined Belichick $50,000 for the gesture. New England is the evenmoney favorite in Vegas to win the Super Bowl. San Francisco is next at 2-1, followed by Atlanta (5-1) and Baltimore (8-1). Among the possible Super Bowl story lines: • The Harbaugh Bowl. Jim Harbaugh coaches the 49ers and John Harbaugh coaches the Ravens. • A rematch of San Francisco’s 41-34 win at New England on Dec. 16 — one of the most entertaining games of the regular season.

The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher had a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit when he shot his girlfriend nine times and then killed himself in front of his coach and general manager, an autopsy released Monday showed. The Jackson County Medical Examiner report on Belcher, 25, raised new questions about whether police should have done more before the Dec. 1 murder-suicide. Officers found Belcher sleeping in his idling car about five hours earlier, but let him go inside a nearby apartment to sleep it off. At the time of the autopsy, Belcher’s BAC was 0.17, more than twice the limit of 0.08 percent for Missouri drivers, and it was likely higher when he shot girlfriend Kasandra Perkins, 22, at the couple’s Kansas City home. A police report released previously said Belcher had gone out the night before with a woman he was dating on the side while Perkins attended a concert with her friends. Police who found Belcher sleeping in his Bentley outside the woman’s apartment

told him to turn off the ignition and he complied, the report said. The report said Belcher “initially displayed possible signs of being under the influence (asleep and disoriented).” But the report added that after a few minutes of being awake his “demeanor and communication became more fluid and coherent.” The report added that officers didn’t smell alcohol on Belcher, and that there were no signs of him being “violent or emotionally unstable.” Under both city ordinance and state law, it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle while intoxicated, city prosecutor Lowell C. Gard said in an email. He said a vehicle doesn’t need to be in motion for it to be determined that the person behind the wheel was operating it. “Operation has been defined in Missouri courts to include a wide range of activity, including sitting behind the wheel of a parked car with the engine running, and sitting alone behind the wheel of a parked car with a warm, but shut off, engine,” Gard wrote. “However, problems of proof arise when the arresting officer must provide evidence of that operation contemporaneous with intoxication.”

Jayhawks Continued from Page 1B

offensive struggles from Saturday, when they trudged their way to a 51-40 win over TCU. They committed nine first-half turnovers — 16 for the game — against one of the nation’s premier defenses, and only had a single assist to show for six made field goals. Still, they were within 23-18 on Austin’s 3-pointer with 5:26 left before Kansas went on a 10-2 run to

finish the half. Five different players scored during the spurt. The run was nearly derailed when Releford was called for a flagrant offensive foul, much to Self ’s chagrin. But the Bears’ Deuce Bello badly missed two free throws, and Jackson was stuffed on a drive to the basket to leave Kansas ahead 33-20 at the break. The Jayhawks stretched the lead to 42-23 early in the second half before Baylor trimmed it to 47-34 with 10:32 remaining on a

run of free throws by Gary Franklin and A.J. Walton. It was the closest the Bears had been since halftime. Kansas again stretched the lead on a couple baskets by McLemore sandwiched around an easy inside look from Jeff Withey. And when Austin hit from 15 feet with 6:51 left to trim the deficit to 15, Johnson drove the lane and converted a threepoint play as the shot-clock was expiring. Austin’s 3-pointer got Baylor within 56-42 with

4:18 left, but McLemore poured in his own from the top of the key and then threw down his signature dunk in transition. It would have been the exclamation mark on a blowout win. Instead, his injury left a sellout crowd inside Allen Fieldhouse quiet as the final seconds ticked off the clock on the Jayhawks’ fourth win in their last five games against Baylor. There was no immediate word on the severity of the injury.

Wildcats Continued from Page 1B

The Mountaineers got the rebound and called timeout. Kansas State’s Angel Rodriguez knocked the inbounds pass into the backcourt. Browne grabbed the loose ball, dribbled the length of the court and attempted a layup, which Southwell swatted away just before the final buzzer. It was only the 6-foot-6 Southwell’s third block of the season and his biggest so far. “I know (Browne) likes to get a lot of body contact and everything, so I just gave him a little room,” Southwell said. “And once he tried to get the body contact, I stepped back and then I used my length on him.” Kansas State coach Bruce Weber has been looking for such an effort from Southwell, who entered the game averaging 6.3 points. “Shane is talented. I think anyone that’s watched him will have no doubt about that,” Weber said. He’s got very good skills. He’s got length. If we can get him to go a lot harder more consistently, and him be more consistent, he’s as talented as anyone we have in our program.” West Virginia, coming off an overtime win at Texas, could have used a win over Kansas State to improve its standing for a postseason berth. Instead, the Mountaineers fell to 0-3 this season against ranked teams. Both teams shot 51 percent from the floor for the game. Weber shuffled his lineup down the stretch because four players had at least three fouls. But West Virginia couldn’t capitalize from the free-throw line, making just 12 of 22 free throws. The Mountaineers played without second-leading scorer Juwan Staten, who was benched in a disciplinary move by coach Bob Huggins for the second straight game. “He has to get on the same page

promised more changers were ahead. He flew to Philadelphia a couple days later and wooed Reid, who had just been dismissed by the Eagles. After a marathon interview, Hunt convinced Reid to try a fresh start in Kansas City. Once his coach was in place, Hunt targeted Dorsey to fill the GM position. Hunt interviewed Dorsey for about six hours last Tuesday, one day after Reid was introduced at Arrowhead Stadium. The discussions continued for several days before Dorsey, who had bypassed other GM openings in the past, finally decided to move into the hot seat in Kansas City. “In his interview, although it went on for a while, he showed a high degree of enthusiasm the whole way,” Hunt said, “which showed to me that Kansas City was a priority for him.” Dorsey said he spent an hour with the personnel staff Monday, and that his next order of business is to evaluate the current roster. He wants to meet with the coaching staff to discuss their philosophy, and then outline a plan for free agency and begin meeting about the NFL draft — the Chiefs have the No. 1 pick for the first time. The draft, of course, is where Dorsey burnished his reputation. He began his career as a college scout in Green Bay, and later rose to director of college scouting. During his years in Green Bay, Dorsey helped to scout and draft quarterback Aaron Rodgers, defensive tackle B.J. Raji, tight end Jermichael Finley, linebackers Clay Matthews and A.J. Hawk, and wide receivers Jordy Nelson, Greg Jennings and Randall Cobb. Those players have played

Kansas State’s Shane Southwell (1) reacts after blocking a West Virginia shot in the final second of agame at WVU Coliseum in Morgantown, W.Va., on Saturday. Kansas State defeated West Virginia 65-64. as me or he is not going to play anymore,” Huggins said. Browne got his first start of the season in Staten’s place and got a tough assignment — guarding McGruder, who was coming off a season-high 28 points in a Jan. 5 win over Oklahoma State. McGruder, who finished 7 of 16 from the floor, has scored in double figures in every game during Kansas State’s winning streak. “I thought during the second half that Rodney got tired and he missed a couple (of shots),” Weber said. “You have to have other people make plays. We have eight guys that are pretty much eight starters, and they can all play.” After a first half in which Kansas State nearly the entire way, it was a streaky second half for both teams. West Virginia went on an 8-0 run in the first two minutes after halftime, with Hinds’ layup giving the Mountaineers their largest lead, 41-36. Kansas State responded with 12 straight points — seven from

a role in two decades of success, including nine division titles, three conference championships and Super Bowl titles in 1996 and 2010. “John has been a loyal member of the Packers family and the Green Bay community for more than half of his life,” Packers GM Ted Thompson said in a statement. “The Chiefs have hired a good man, and John has earned this opportunity.” Dorsey didn’t get into details about what the next few months will hold for the Chiefs, though there are several personnel decisions that must be made soon. Wide receiver Dwayne

McGruder — to go ahead 48-41, but the Wildcats couldn’t put away the Mountaineers. Kansas State scored just one basket — on a goaltending call — over a stretch of nearly eight minutes. Freshman Eron Harris put West Virginia ahead 64-63 lead with an off-balanced jumper from the baseline with 26 seconds left, and the Mountaineers quickly fouled Southwell, who made both free throws for the final margin. “What was going through my mind was that this is something that you’ve been dreaming about as a kid,” Southwell said. “But it’s just free throws. You follow your routine and you’re going to make them. Since I came to college, I’ve been waiting to be in moments like that, in big-time pressure situations.” Kansas State shot 68 percent (15 of 22) from the floor in the first half and the Mountaineers shot 65 percent (11 of 17). Most baskets made by either team were either layups or dunks.

Bowe and left tackle Branden Albert are among several key players who can become free agents, and could potentially be franchised. Other players will also be available on the freeagent market, though Dorsey warned about the flaws of building a team in that way. “I like to be selective in free agency,” he said. “I always believe you can still get value within that philosophy, and you can still acquire players.” The Chiefs are also in desperate need of an upgrade at quarterback, where Matt Cassel was benched last season and Brady Quinn fared

little better. Kansas City has only drafted one quarterback in the past six seasons — Ricky Stanzi in the fifth round. The Chiefs also haven’t picked a quarterback higher than the third round since 1992, and in the first round since choosing Todd Blackledge in ’83. “Any time when you begin to build a franchise, let’s be real, the quarterback is a very important part,” Dorsey said. “As you note the last couple weeks in the playoffs, the quarterback position is a very important position to the long-term success of the organization.”

One of his two losses on the day came against Cain Salas the top ranked 152 pound wrestler in Kansas. Jeryl Denton took fourth place. “Jeryl is always focused,” Laster said. “He wrestles until the very last seconds of any match, no matter what.” Senior James Denton had an excellent weekend placing fourth in the 195 pound weight class. Junior Micah Felton earned a sixth place finish. Laster was pleased with the improvements that his team has made to this point in the season. “I had six guys place last

year, and these are higher placers than last year,” Laster remarked about his team. “If these guys are able to do the same at state, it could result in a state trophy for our team.” Topeka Seaman won the tournament with 177.5 points, followed by Blue Spring, Mo. with 172 points and third place St. James Academy with 168.5 points. Junction City scored 131 points, which put them in sixth place. The season continues next Saturday at Washburn Rural in a dual tournament. The Blue Jays will be competing against Centennial League opponents Emporia, Washburn Rural, and the Basehor Linwood champion Topeka Seaman. Action begins at 9 a.m.
