Adabag: 90 arrests in unprecedented drug bust

The official name, “Operation Adabag,” didn’t have any significant meaning according to Junction City Police Chief Tim Brown. The results, however, are unprecedented locally. The operation with a funny name became well known Thursday when it was revealed a “massive” and “complex” drug bust resulted in 90 drug-related arrests over two days in Junction City, Grandview Plaza, Manhattan and Ogden. The operation involved law enforcement personnel from the city, county and state level working in cooperation to serve 54 search and arrest warrants. In addition to the dozens of arrests, crack cocaine, 18 vehicles, 16 firearms other drugs and drug paraphernalia were seized. Three stories were published on the operation on our website Thursday. The demand for information on the busts, which many people in the area witnessed around Junction City on Wednesday, overwhelmed our server and made the site slow to load. By mid-morning, traffic to the site reached an 11-month high.

Greyhound Lines looking for Junction City location

Local Greyhound Lines passengers could be hitching a ride on the popular bus service at a new location. The company’s current stop, located at 126 W. Flint Hills Blvd., in Grandview Plaza, provides limited schedule service to a number of locations but does not support a full-service terminal. Owners of the current facility where Greyhound operates have asked the bus line to leave, promting a search for a new location in Junction City. So far, Greyhound hasn’t found another location according to Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Specialist Susan Jagerson. A story on the bus stop was published Thursday morning and was a distant second to coverage of “Operation Adabag.”

Milford playground talks put on hold

Debate about the Sunset Shore Playground project will continue, but discussion of Milford’s involvement in the project was tabled during the Milford City County meeting Thursday evening. At issue is a request from the Milford Community improvement Steering Committee for the city to contribute $20,000 for a new playground at Milford Elementary School. Council members on Thursday told committee representatives they wanted proof that USD 475 supported the project, either financially or with its blessing. So far, the steering committee has raised about $15,000 of money needed for the $120,000 project. A story on the Milford City Council was published late Thursday evening and was Friday’s most read story.

Bringing business to JC

NBAF may be opportunity for growth B y T im Weideman

city.beat@thedailyunion.net The Junction CityGeary County Economic Development Commission is putting its money where its mouth is in terms of recruiting businesses related to the proposed National Bio and AgroDefense Facility (NBAF) in Manhattan. On Thursday, the EDC board approved re-allocating $15,000 of the organization’s 2014 budget to NBAF-related business recruitment. EDC Board Chair Ben

Kitchens called NBAF a “lifetime opportunity” to bring jobs to Junction City by communicating with employers who may relocate closer to Manhattan and the facility. “It’s our opportunity to diversify our economy and to lessen our reliance on Fort Riley,” Kitchens said. “That is a huge facility being built that will draw a lot of ancillary businesses that support it.” The funds were re-allocated after Susan Jagerson, Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Specialist, told the board $25,000 previously budgeted for Spirit of ‘76 and Neighborhood Revitalization Program expenses now will be paid for out of the city’s economic devel-

opment reserve pool. The other $10,000 will be used to market the old call center building, which in the past has been connected to talks of bioscience recruitment. Another $5,000 already had been budgeted for site consultants, which also could be used for NBAF recruitment purposes. “I don’t think that we can do too much, in terms of the future, as it pertains to NBAF,” Kitchens said. “All we need to do is land two or three businesses and that (money) is chicken feed.” A solid timeline has yet to be set for the facility’s construction, however, recent events have hinted at progress. Gov. Sam Brownback recently has pressed Kan-

Economic Development

sas legislators to approved $202 million in new bonds for NBAF. The state already has issued $105 million in bonds, but President Barack Obama’s proposed budget, which includes $714 million for the lab, requires the additional funds. Though NBAF will call Manhattan home, Kitchens said Junction City stands to benefit. “We struggle to get national franchise retail outlets in here because they claim we don’t have the traffic numbers,” he said. “If you get more people living here, working in Manhattan, our numbers get better. If we have more businesses located in Junction City that have jobs, it’s more room for retail to come.”

Relay for Life

Bus line searching for JC stop Greyhound Lines is looking for a new bus stop near Junction City to replace its Grandview Plaza location. The current bus stop, located at 126 W. Flint Hills Blvd., provides limited schedule service to a number of locations but does not support a full-service terminal or agency. Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Specialist Susan Jagerson said the owners of the current facility, which serves as a stop and an information kiosk, want Greyhound to leave, which has prompted the search. But according to Jagerson, Greyhound still offers a vital service for area residents. “It’s a service people need,” she said at Thursday’s Economic Development Commission meeting. “They said a lot of military people use it. They have four or five pick-ups a day.” So far, Greyhound hasn’t found other options, Jagerson said. “They’ve called several people and haven’t gotten any response,” she said.

City to save, spend Street maintenance bid awarded

Street improvements continue to be a high priority for Junction City. Earlier this week, the Junction City Commission awarded a bid for the concrete patching portion of this year’s street maintenance program to T & M Concrete Construction of Junction City for $109,600. T & M’s bid was the lowest of two received. Municipal Services Director Greg McCaffery told the commission city staff is looking at other areas it could improve because T & M’s bid is lower than what was originally estimated for the budget. Work is scheduled begin after school is out and is expected to be completed within a 60-day period.

City to save on new insurance policy

Junction City is switching its general liability and property insurance provider to save money in the short term. With its current provider, Traveler’s Insurance, hinting at a 17 percent increase in rates upon renewal, the commission earlier this week approved selected Midwest Public Risk (MPR). Traveler’s and MPR were the only companies to submit bids to the city. MPR’s policy comes with an annual premium of $164,469, while Traveler’s bid was for a $202,100 annual premium. MPR’s policy covers the city for one year. The city requested bids after three years with Travelers, which is city

policy for contract services.

Commission supports school routes grant

The commission also declared its support of a Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) Safe Routes to Schools Grant (SRTS). The city implemented an SRTS plan in 2008. Under that plan, new sidewalks, safety ramps, signs and crosswalk striping were completed in 2012 near six of the city’s 11 public schools. The city this time is looking to make the same improvements in other areas. City staff has proposed asking for $200,000, the maximum grant amount. The city would be responsible for engineering design, right-of-way

acquisition and inspection costs (about $46,000, according to a staff memo) and a 20 percent local match, which would come from the city covering costs of signs and striping. Funds for design and inspection are available in the special highway fund, according to city staff. McCaffery told the commission grant awards will be notified this summer. Construction would begin in 2014, he said.

INTO THE FUTURE

Junction City will contribute $10,000 to the Governor’s Military Council this year straight out of the Economic Development Commission’s pockets. GMC Director John Armbrust has reached out to Kansas communities that benefit from the military to make up for when Office of Economic Adjustment budget cuts kick in. When that happens, the Governor’s Military Council (GMC) will lose $169,000 of its $369,000 budget. The other $200,000 is expected to be split evenly between the state and local communities. EDC Board Chair Ben Kitchens said Junction City should help because the community benefits so much from Fort Riley. “I think that it’s a nobrainer,” he said at Thursday’s meeting. “If we were not to do it, (our absence) would be very conspicuous.” Many of the other involved communities — Wichita, Topeka, Manhattan, Salina and Leavenworth — have pledged to offer their support via organizations similar to the EDC. The GMC, which then Gov. Kathleen Sebelius started in 2006, works to promote military affairs in Kansas to federal authorities.

Kansas City barista brews up a winning reputation Joyce S mith

The Kansas City Star KANSAS CITY, Mo. — In back of a plain brick building on bustling Southwest Boulevard, Pete Licata is deep in training to become the best in the world. His training tools? Coffee beans, a grinder and an espresso machine. Licata, 34, is a quality assurance manager at Parisi Artisan Coffee in Kansas City. He is also now considered the best barista in the nation after snagging the 2013 U.S. Barista Championship in Boston in midApril. Licata won a large trophy and an all-expenses-paid trip to the world matchup in Australia later this month. There he will represent the United States against coffee competitors from at least 50 countries, The Kansas City Star reported. The Specialty Coffee Association of America, a trade group that lists 9,000 members, including producers, farmers, retailers and baristas, has put on the U.S. championship annually since 2003. In this year’s event, 47 baristas from across the country went coffee cup to coffee cup in the competition. They each gave a 15-minute performance, chatting about their drinks with music playing in the background while preparing four espressos, four cappuccinos and four servings of an original signature drink for the four “sensory” judges. Two “technical” judges and a head judge

In this Thursday, April 13, 2013 photo, one of the judges tests the aroma of a brewed entry at the annual United States Barista Championship in Boston. Participants have 15 minutes to prepare and serve four espressos, four cappuccinos and four signature beverages, as they compete for a chance to go to the world championship in Melbourne, Australia. looked on. The baristas were judged on their technical expertise, the consistency of their drinks and the presentation, which should come off as a five-star performance, Licata said. And of course there’s the taste of their coffees. On the last day of the competition, when Licata was selected tops from the final six competitors, it was standing room only in the trade show hall. “You are giving the biggest speech you ever gave in your life while you are making the best coffee you ever made in your life,” Licata said. “It’s pretty intensive for the competi-

tor.” For his specialty drink, Licata created a petite nonalcoholic coffee cocktail. He used chilled palm sugar triple syrup combined with an espresso shot over ice and two-and-a-half droppers of non-alcoholic bitters with orange peel and lemongrass. “You want to highlight and elevate the flavor of the coffee you are serving,” he said. Licata has honed his presentation skills through seven competitions. He twice finished second in the national event and then took home the first place trophy in 2011. At the time he was working in Hawaii.

He hand-selected his coffee beans, roasted them himself and made his own espresso blend.

It’s about a passion to inform

have always said most journalists don’t write stories about local people, cover the events of the day and take photos to win awards. We do it because we have a passion to inform, educate, entertain and document the history of the local communities in which we work and live. Some would suggest my comments about not performing this job to win awards was probably made because I hadn’t won any at that point. That would be true. But now, after receiving some of the top state journalism awards here in Kansas and in Wisconsin, I know my original words were truthful, even if there was a touch of bitterness at the time they were said. Last weekend, The Daily Union brought back to Junction City some of the top awards handed out at the Kansas Press Association annual conference. Personally, after receiving top individual awards in Wisconsin for writing, I have always felt the overall newspaper awards were more important. With those honors, all staff is involved and it also shows a depth of quality, talent and skills of an editorial staff — not just one person winning an award for one story or photo. That’s why I’m so proud of our first place in news and writing excellence, the honor I believe all newspapers should strive to attain. That award was topped off by the honor of having the best front page. Basically, with two awards, our L isa entire Daily Union editorial staff, s eiser recent past and present, was recognized for their efforts. Of course the others are nice and we garnered our share of awards in all three places in our circulation size daily category. We received a total of 12 editorial awards and 10 more for advertising. It was quite a night and it is always nice to be recognized by your peers for the quality work we try to provide each and every day. However, while we are excited about our success in the KPA awards of excellence contest, believe me, we never go into a story or head to an event with the idea in mind that “this is going to win an award.” This week’s drug raid in Junction City, is one of the bigger stories we’ve covered since my arrival here more than a year ago. It’s been the main topic of discussion in the office and seemingly around town as many witnessed the SWAT vehicles and police all around the area. Our website had some of the biggest numbers we’ve seen in about 11 months and our Facebook page “likes” took off. This was all because we focused on that passion to inform. Nothing else crossed our minds. We posted updates on our site as we received them and posted items on Facebook. Not once did we think about anything but providing the best and most timely coverage of what’s going on to the people of the community and those interested in what’s going on in their neighborhoods. That’s our job. I’m certainly not going to say the honors aren’t nice and we are going to make sure we let people know that peers in the newspaper business see the Daily Union as a quality publication. But receiving awards doesn’t show the day-to-day work — the long hours and sometimes blood, sweat and tears — that occurs at a newspaper to attain the goal of informing and ultimately being the first documentors of history of a community or area. Years from now, it won’t be the awards we won the community and our readers remember. Instead, it will be that story on the adored retiring teacher, pictures of the Christmas Parade floats, the state championship sports team or an editorial that changed people’s minds to the benefit of the community. That’s how it should be.

Freedom under fire

very time there’s a horrendous story about kidnapping or child molestation, America loses another ounce of freedom. The Cleveland situation in which three young girls were held in sexual slavery for 10 years is a perfect example of my statement. Although kidnapping by strangers is rare in the USA, the shocking media accounts of stories like Cleveland make a deep public impression. According to the FBI, 411 Americans were abducted by strangers in 2012. The primary motive for the abductions was sexual assault, and in the case of missing children, 89 percent of them are murdered by their kidnappers, according to the Washington State Attorney General’s Office. So the numbers are very small, but the outcomes are very severe. Twenty years ago in America, children could play unsupervised in most neighborhoods. I grew up on Long Island about 30 miles from New York City and was out of my house more than I was in it. I had a gang of junior hoodlums, and we played sports and games constantly. My mother and father were actually relieved when I went out to play, knowing that I would be annoying people other than them. As far as I know, nobody was ever abducted in Levittown back in the 1960s, and it was teeming with kids. The Lindbergh baby kidnapping in 1932

A

Bill O’reilly Commentary pierced the national consciousness, but up until about 20 years ago, most suburban and rural streets were considered safe. Now nobody’s safe, or so it seems. Parents rarely let children play on their own. Playdates and organized activities rule. The urchins are deprived of creating their own playtime agendas, problem solving without adult supervision, and thinking up crazy, fun games. Playtime in Levittown usually consisted of dodging, kicking, batting or shooting a ball. Plus, there were games of running around smashing into each other. That was called ring-alevio. It is important for children to feel secure, to grow up safe. So it is not unwise to keep close track of kids these days. Kidnapping and molestation may be rare, but it happens, and it’s a lifealtering experience. The cliche goes “better to be safe than sorry.” And it’s true. It is also true that we were a much freer nation back when stories like Cleveland were not driven by the news

media 24/7. The evildoers have robbed us of security and have created massive apprehension. Many schools now have armed guards, cameras are everywhere, and children are suspicious. The predators have forced us to guard the kids. And so they stay inside far more than I did. They become addicted to machines that provide them with easy stimulation via games in which they never lose or get bruised. The urchins sit there and stare at a screen full of high-tech opium that quickly overwhelms their senses. Rain or shine, the Net is always there. Fear and high-tech mania have changed our country in ways most of us can’t even comprehend. And every time there is a story like Cleveland, our independence takes a hit. We are living in a brave new world, for sure. But I liked it better back when.

Make gun use among kids a child safety issue

fter a rural Kentucky family suffered an unspeakable gun tragedy late last month, that sad story, unfortunately, became new fuel for the scorching debate over gun control. When news broke that 5-year-old Kristian Sparks had shot his 2-year-old sister with a rifle he had been given as a gift, opposing factions latched on to either defend rural America’s gun culture or to denounce it. Having grown up in Alabama, steeped in the Deep South’s gun culture, I feel nothing but sympathy for the Sparks family. One child is dead; another will be scarred for life by his horrible mistake. And Caroline Sparks is just one of many: The careless handling of guns sends Americans to their graves with mind-numbing frequency. Indeed, in the days since she died, other children have been wounded or killed in accidental shootings. On May 1, 3-year-old Darrien Nez shot himself dead with his grandmother’s handgun in Yuma, Ariz. On May 4, a 13-year-old boy in Oakland Park, Fla., accidentally shot his 6-year-old sister in the chest, injuring her critically. That, by the way, is just a partial list. According to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, an average of eight Americans under the age of 20 are killed by firearms every day. While urban children are more likely to be homicide victims, Brady says, rural children are more likely to be suicides or victims of accidental shootings. But the mindless political punches and counter-punches, finger-pointing and blame-assessing do little to curb the death toll. If concerned grown-ups really want to save children from accidental gun discharges, we ought to separate those gun accidents from the

cynthia tucker Commentary broader debate over gun control, which is hopelessly mired in partisan madness. Instead, let’s discuss this as a child safety issue. There are plenty of precedents in American cultural history for focusing on child safety even if it impinges on the convenience of adults. One of the best examples is the decadeslong crusade to make child safety seats a familiar part of child care. That doesn’t mean it will be easy to bring some commonsense child safety measures — legally enforceable measures — to routine gun use. There are many factions who are eager to keep any discussion of guns locked into a doctrinaire set of talking points. And, of course, the most ferocious and fanatical factions of the gun lobby — notably the National Rifle Association — will have no use for even the mildest reforms aimed at stemming the carnage. For years now, the NRA has insisted that children ought to be armed for sport shooting right alongside their parents; it offers firearms safety courses as the surefire way to protect them from injury. However, while gun safety courses are a good idea, they are no substitute for age-appropriate gun handling, adult supervision or safe storage of firearms. The availability of firearms courses may have lured some parents into a false sense of security, leading them to

believe that preschool or elementaryaged children can handle weapons prudently without supervision. That’s just ridiculous. To reinforce that, we need an all-out crusade with an emphasis on proper supervision of the youngest sport shooters, as well as safe storage of weapons when they are not in use. Adults who fail in their responsibilities, allowing children to be hurt or killed, should face criminal sanctions in each and every case. That won’t be an easy cultural shift: In homes already facing a tragedy, as the Sparkses do, local law enforcement officials will be reluctant to press charges. While national efforts to reinforce the shift can help, the best results will come from persistent and courageous efforts by local leaders, including state legislators, police, prosecutors and physicians. My own father was a nut about gun safety — my brother didn’t get his first rifle until he was about 11, and he was closely supervised — but Dad’s conscientiousness didn’t extend to all my relatives. When I was 11, I picked up a loaded handgun off a bedside table at an uncle’s house and aimed it at my brother, then 2. I thought it was a toy. I don’t know why I didn’t pull the trigger. My brother was saved by fate or caprice or the grace of God. Too many children don’t get that lucky.

Man held in three Kansas deaths, child ‘presumed’ dead H eatHer

The suspect pleaded no contest in August 2005 to a reduced charge of attempted second-degree murder in Free’s shooting and was sentenced to five years in prison. He also was ordered to pay about $78,000 in restitution. The Kansas Department of Corrections said the suspect was placed on parole in July 2009 and released from parole in April 2012. Free’s sister, Stephanie Ingram, said Free fired the suspect from a $10-an-hourjob tearing down mobile homes because he would “kick rocks around, sit down, and he wouldn’t do what Steve told him.” The next day, Free was playing pool with Ingram’s son in a detached garage, left to use the bathroom and was shot five times. Ingram recalled that the gunfire sounded like fireworks. Although Free survived, he was never able to work again, Ingram said. She said her brother died of lung cancer in December 2011 at the age of 53. Ingram said her brother mistook the initial symptoms of cancer for side effects from the shooting, which left him with bullet fragments in his lung. “I think somebody needs to answer for them not doing their job the first time,” said Ingram, 51, of Ottawa, referring to the five-year sentence. “If they would have done their jobs when he unloaded a full gun on my brother, he wouldn’t have been out to do it. Basically they slapped him on the wrist and said, ‘OK, do it again.’ That’s really how it feels.”

Global network of hackers steals $45M from ATMs

Greenhouse gas reaches milestone S Eth B OrENStEiN

COLLEEN LONG

AP Science Writer

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Worldwide levels of the chief greenhouse gas that causes global warming have hit a milestone, reaching an amount never before encountered by humans, federal scientists said Friday. Carbon dioxide was measured at 400 parts per million at the oldest monitoring station in Hawaii which sets the global benchmark. The last time the worldwide carbon level was probably that high was about 2 million years ago, said Pieter Tans of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The measurement was recorded Thursday. The number 400 has been anticipated by climate scientists and environmental activists for years as a notable indicator, in part because it’s a round number — not because any changes in man-made global warming happen by reaching it. When measurements of this chief greenhouse gas were first taken in 1958, carbon dioxide was measured at 315. Levels are now growing about 2 parts per million per year. That’s 100 times faster than at the end of the Ice Age. Before the Industrial Revolution, carbon dioxide levels were around 280 ppm, and they were closer to 200 during the Ice Age. There are natural ups and

NEW YORK — The sophistication of a global network of thieves who drained cash machines around the globe of an astonishing $45 million in mere hours sent ripples through the security world, not merely for the size of the operation and ease with which it was carried out, but also for the threat that more such thefts may be in store. Seven people were arrested in the U.S., accused of operating the New York cell of what prosecutors said was a network that carried out thefts at ATMs in 27 countries from Canada to Russia. Law enforcement agencies from more than a dozen nations were involved in the investigation, U.S. prosecutors in New York said Thursday. “Unfortunately these types of cybercrimes involving ATMs, where you’ve got U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York • AP Photo a flash mob going out across In this undated photo provided by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New the globe, are becoming York, Elvis Rafael Rodriguez, left, and Emir Yasser Yeje, pose with bundles of cash allegedly stolen using more and more common,” bogus magnetic swipe cards at cash machines throughout New York.

downs of this greenhouse gas, which comes from volcanoes and decomposing plants and animals. But that’s not what has driven current levels so high, Tans said. He said the amount should be even higher, but the world’s oceans are absorbing quite a bit, keeping it out of the air. “What we see today is 100 percent due to human activity,” said Tans, a NOAA senior scientist. The burning of fossil fuels, such as coal for electricity and oil for gasoline, has caused the overwhelming bulk of the man-made increase in carbon in the air, scientists say. Because of burning of fossil fuels, such as oil and coal, carbon dioxide levels have gone up in just 55 years. Carbon dioxide traps heat just like in a greenhouse and most of it stays in the air for a century, some lasts for thousands of years scientists say. The speed of the change is the big worry, said Pennsylvania State University climate scientist Michael Mann. If carbon dioxide levels go up 100 parts per million over thousands or millions of years, plants and animals can adapt. But that can’t be done at the speed it is now happening. Last year, regional monitors briefly hit 400 ppm in the Arctic. But those monitoring stations aren’t seen as a world mark like the one at Mauna Loa, Hawaii.

The students would then use these skills during the service project the following week, building water crossings at Linear Park Sunset Spur, a trail adjacent to the zoo that was originally established in the 1930s and is undergoing restoration. Students were divided into two teams to complete tasks like transporting lumber along the trail and installing decking to complete two water crossings. DeAndre Ramsey, freshman, JCHS, was among student participants. DeAndre, who is a student athlete, volunteered to lead one of the student teams. “Our teachers have seen who has potential to be leaders but need more skills to be developed. The program here gives you a variety of ways to help show your teamwork and how to lead in a group and how to perform tasks that you need to get done,” DeAndre said. The workshop was put on by graduates of the 20122013 class of the Flint Hills

But opponents of the law, including many of the nation’s biggest banks, have mounted an aggressive effort to overturn key provisions that target some of the most influential institutions. The regulatory overhaul adopted tougher requirements for these institutions that are considered “too big to fail.” Their collapse could put the entire financial system at risk. Many of the rules are still being finalized. For example, banks are being asked to hold larger amounts of capital to cushion against risk. And regulators could seize a compa-

A man talking on a mobile phone walks by the electronic stock board of a securities firm in Tokyo, Wednesday, April 24, 2013. An increase in new U.S. home sales and strong corporate earnings across a range of industries lifted investment sentiment in Asia, where most stock markets rose Wednesday. The dollar soared above 100 yen for the first time in more than four years on Friday. The U.S. dollar rose as high as 101.30 yen, the first time since April 2009 that the greenback has traded above 100 yen. The move lifted Japanese stocks to their highest level in more than five years. Japan’s Nikkei 225 index jumped 1.8 percent to 13,772.98, trading above 13,700 for the first time in nearly five years. South Korea’s Kospi rose 1 percent to 1,936.83. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 added 1.4 percent to 5,087.90.

ny that is threatening the system, dismantle it and sell off the pieces. Asked about these efforts Friday, Bernanke said that the Fed and other banking regulators were working hard to put in place the regulations needed to implement the too-big-tofail provisions. “Too big to fail is partly a credibility issue on the part of the government,” Bernanke said. “Will the markets believe the government will go through with its commitment to wind down an institution?” Bernanke said that if the regulatory overhaul has not adequately addressed this issue, regulators may need to increase the capital requirements further for banks. He said that could be preferable to “arbitrarily saying banks can be no larger than a certain size.” Bernanke was also asked about regulators’ ability to detect asset bubbles, such as the surge in home prices that contributed to the financial crisis. Bernanke said that’s difficult to do. He suggested strengthening the broader financial system so that it is not as vulnerable to such triggers.

Cocaine at a glance Cocaine is an intense, euphoria-producing stimulant drug with strong addictive potential. Street names include Coca, Coke, Crack, Flake, Snow, Soda Cot Looks like: Cocaine is usually distributed as a white, crystalline powder. Cocaine is often diluted (“cut”) with a variety of substances, the most common of which are sugars and local anesthetics. It is “cut” to stretch the amount of the product and increase profits for dealers. In contrast, cocaine base (crack) looks like small, irregularly shaped chunks (or “rocks”) of a whitish solid. Methods of abuse: Powdered cocaine can be snorted or injected into the veins after dissolving in water. Cocaine base (crack) is smoked, either alone or on marijuana or tobacco. Cocaine is also abused in combination with an opiate, like heroin, a practice known as “speedballing.” Although injecting into veins or muscles, snorting, and smoking are the common ways of using cocaine, all mucous membranes readily absorb cocaine. Cocaine users typically binge on the drug until they are exhausted or run out of cocaine. Affect on mind: The intensity of cocaine’s euphoric effects depends on how quickly the drug reaches the brain, which depends on the dose and method of abuse. Following smoking or intravenous injection, cocaine reaches the brain in seconds, with a rapid buildup in levels. This results in a rapid-onset, intense euphoric effect known as a “rush.” By contrast, the euphoria caused by snorting cocaine is less intense and does not happen as quickly due to the slower build-up of the drug in the brain. Tolerance to cocaine’s effects develops rapidly, causing users to take higher and higher doses. Affect on body: Physiological effects of cocaine include increased blood pressure and heart rate, dilated pupils, insomnia, and loss of appetite. The widespread abuse of highly pure street cocaine has led to many severe adverse health consequences such as: cardiac arrhythmias, ischemic heart conditions, sudden cardiac arrest, convulsions, strokes, and death.

high-quality amenity for Milford as benefits of the playground. Others in the community would rather the city contribute to other community improvements, such as Milford City Park’s playground. Both sides presented their arguments last week during a town hall meeting which more than 50 people attended. The council continued that discussion Thursday.

The 180-plus law enforcement agents participating in the two-day, joint operation removed from the streets 90 people in Junction City, Manhattan and Ogden in connection to a crack distribution ring. That wasn’t all. Officers also executed search and arrest warrants without major incidents or injuries. In many of Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s raids, tactical teams were brought in and officers were prepared, Junction City Police Chief Tim Brown said Thursday at a press conference. “That’s our first and foremost concern is the public’s safety and, obviously, our officers’ safety during this,” Brown said. “Streets were blocked off to ensure that gunfire, if it did erupt, that we would do the best we could to keep citizens from getting injured.” One Junction City detective did suffer a minor hand injury during an arrest, Brown said, but no other incidents or injuries were reported.

At a press conference Thursday, Junction City Police Chief Tim Brown said the searches were concluded by about 10 p.m. Wednesday. The operation was headquartered out of the old call center building on South Spring Valley Road in Junction City, where even Kansas Bureau of Investigations agents said they had “never seen anything like it,” according to Brown. “I’ve been at the JCPD for 35 years — I’ve never seen anything like this,” Brown said. “I’ve never been part of anything like this at all.” Brown noted the operation did not go unnoticed by community members, though police released few specifics until Thursday. “Many people in the community saw tactical trucks going up and down the streets all over town with 12 to 14 SWAT officers hanging off those,” he

said. “There were three tactical teams actually involved in the operation.” No major incidents or injuries were reported as a result of the investigation, however, one JCPD detective received a slight hand injury during an arrest on Lacy Drive near the command post. Brown said the investigation began last year with drug units from Riley and Geary counties w o r k i n g together. “I think about October, as I recall, was when we really started to identify that this was a significant ring that was operating in our area that was distributing crack cocaine,” Brown said. “I think at that time was when we really started to look very hard at this organization.” Brown declined to comment wheth-

Council member Jim Talley, who finished the old business portion of his last meeting on the council, said he believed the city eventually should support the project and the people who took the initiative to improve a part of Milford. “This group that got together that created the initiative, has gone through a lot of work, a lot of energy — not my energy, their energy — to raise all this money,” Talley said. “It’s brought life back to this town, at least I think it has.”

er a ring leader had been arrested. Brown said intelligence and data put together by detectives and the KBI helped the case develop into the raids Tuesday and Wednesday. He said undercover agents, informants and surveillance also were used. Representatives of the agencies involved said cooperation was key to t h e investigation. “This has really been a big undertaking,” Geary County Sheriff Tony Wolf said. “We worked well together, we worked very well together. A lot of late hours and long hours were put into doing this.” Complete case details could not be provided because the investigation is ongoing, Brown said.

Energy and life like that in Milford appears to come and go in cycles, Talley said. “I think one of the reasons for that, these people that expended all their energy and have done all this, done everything they could, they soon found out that they’re rowing the boat by themselves and they can only row it so far.” According to committee representatives at Thursday’s meeting, the committee already has been paying engineering costs to design firm Leathers and Associ-

ates. There also is a timetable that requires some payments to be made later this summer and strides to be made in project progress later this year. Cox said he doubted the committee could raise enough money to cover the remaining amount in time to meet its “aggressive” deadline. “There are about 500 people in this town,” Cox said. “If every man, woman and child gave $200, you’d still be short of the mark. That’s about $100,000 right there.”

Overbay, Suzuki power Yankees past Royals, 11-6

The Kansas City Chiefs have signed offensive lineman Eric Kush and linebacker Mike Catapano, leaving six of their draft picks unsigned as they begin a rookie minicamp. Kush was the first of the Chiefs’ two sixth-round picks out of California (Pa.), while Catapano was their seventh-round selection out of Princeton. The Chiefs announced the signings Friday. No terms were disclosed. The Chiefs also signed 13 college free agents, including former Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray, Florida wide receiver Frankie Hammond Jr. and UWMilwaukee hoops player Demetrius Harris. The Chiefs were scheduled to work out their rookies Friday, Saturday and Sunday before the rest of the team joins them for the start of organized team activities on Tuesday.

Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Lyle Overbay hit a two-run homer and finished with five RBIs, Ichiro Suzuki also hit a two-run shot and the New York Yankees opened their only series in Kansas City with an 11-6 rout of the Royals on Friday night. Overbay finished with a career-high four hits, Suzuki had three hits and Chris Nelson drove in a pair of runs for the Yankees, who gave manager Joe Girardi his 500th win in pinstripes. Girardi reached the milestone in his 844th game, one fewer than Billy Martin. The only Yankees managers to reach the mark faster were Casey Stengel, Joe McCarthy, Joe Torre and Miller Huggins. Phil Hughes (2-2) allowed six runs in 5 2-3 innings but still earned the victory, thanks to a slumbering offense that awoke against Royals starter Wade Davis and reliever Bruce Chen. Davis (2-3) allowed seven runs in five-plus innings.

Wigan aims to pull off shock FA Cup final victory

The FA Cup final on Saturday features two teams apparently heading in different directions. There’s Manchester City, confirmed for another season in the ritzy Champions League. And Wigan, happy to forget for one day an impending fall into anonymity in the League Championship. Wigan, three points from avoiding relegation in the English Premier League with two games to go, still believes it can stay up. In its pursuit for survival, Wigan says the FA Cup has been a driving force, and not a distraction. And in reaching the final for the first time, it’s driven to pull off an almighty upset of the fivetime cup champions at Wembley.

Hansen increases bid for Kings to $625 million

Chris Hansen has increased his total valuation of the Sacramento Kings from $550 million to $625 million in another attempt to sway NBA owners to allow him to buy the franchise and move it to Seattle. Hansen also announced on his website Friday that he has guaranteed owners that the franchise would pay into the league’s revenue-sharing system in Seattle and not collect money as it has in Sacramento. Hansen has had a deal since January to buy a 65 percent controlling interest in the Kings from the Maloof family. He originally offered a total valuation of $525 million, then increased that offer to $550 million after a competing Sacramento group matched his deal. The NBA’s relocation committee voted 7-0 last week to recommend that the NBA Board of Governors — which consists of all 30 owners — reject the Seattle move. The board is expected to vote on the issue at its meeting in Dallas on Wednesday.

Judge: No auction yet of Kobe Bryant’s stuff

A judge has ruled an auction house cannot sell Kobe Bryant memorabilia offered by the NBA star’s mother while courts sort out where the case should be decided. Pamela Bryant struck a deal in January to auction off belongings of her son through Berlin, N.J.based Goldin Auctions. When Kobe Bryant found out about it last month, his lawyers told the auction house not to go through with the sale.

Top pick Fisher moves to right side of Chiefs B y daVE SKREtta

Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The biggest question surrounding the Kansas City Chiefs, and one that had the potential to drag on for several more weeks, was answered after the first practice of rookie minicamp. Offensive tackle Eric Fisher, the first overall pick in the NFL draft, will slide to the right side of the line, and longtime left tackle Branden Albert — the Chiefs’ franchise player — will report to practice next week and resume his position protecting the blind side. The Chiefs drafted Fisher with their first-round pick while publicly stating that they were discussing a trade of Albert to the Miami Dolphins, and it was widely assumed that Fisher would be the new left tackle for quarterback Alex Smith this season. Those trade talks died down, though, and Albert appears to be back in the fold. “Branden will play the left side for now and Eric will play the right side,” Chiefs

coach Andy Reid said Friday, “and I think that gives you two pretty good book-ends right there.” The Chiefs began a three-day minicamp for their rookies that will last through the weekend, and organized team activities — voluntary workouts for the entire squad — will start next week. Still, Albert wouldn’t have been required to attend until a mandatory minicamp in June. Albert has already signed his franchise tender, which guarantees him about $9.3 million this season, but has expressed his displeasure with not having a long-term deal. The two sides talked during the offseason, but it didn’t appear that they were close to an agreement. Reid said that Albert’s decision to report for the voluntary workouts shouldn’t come as a sign that they’re any closer to a deal, either. “Right now,” Reid said, “that’s an onOrlin Wagner • The Associated Press going thing.” Kansas City Chiefs tackle Eric Fisher, the No.1 overall pick in the NFL Albert was the Chiefs’ first-round pick in Please see Chiefs, 2B

British sailor dies during America’s Cup practice B y SUDHIN THANAWALA

AND

TERRy COLLINS

Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — A 72-foot-long Swedish sailboat capsized Thursday in San Francisco Bay while practicing for the upcoming America’s Cup races, killing an Olympic gold medalist from the United Kingdom and injuring another sailor, authorities said. Artemis Racing said Andrew “Bart” Simpson died after the capsized boat’s platform trapped him underwater for about 10 minutes around 1 p.m. PDT. Simpson served as the Swedish team’s strategist and had won one Olympic gold medal and one silver medal. He was 36 years old, according to San Francisco Fire Department officials. Artemis said doctors “afloat” with the team and on shore couldn’t revive Simpson after he was freed from the wreckage. “The entire Artemis team is devastated by what happened,” CEO Paul Canyard said in a statement posted on the team’s website. “Our heartfelt condolences are with Andrew’s wife and family.” Simpson and another sailor were injured when the Artemis Racing catamaran capsized near Treasure Island, a former naval station in the bay, Fire Department spokeswoman Mindy Talmadge said. Both were brought to shore and taken to the St. Francis Yacht Club, where paramedics performed CPR on Simpson. He was pronounced dead a short time later, fire officials said. The other sailor suffered minor injuries, and the rest of the crew of 13 was accounted for and taken back to their

dock in Alameda in a boat operated by Oracle Racing, which is defending its 2010 America’s Cup title in San Francisco this summer. The Swedish-based team and two other yacht clubs are scheduled to compete with each other for the honor of challenging Team Oracle for the America’s Cup, sailing’s most prestigious trophy. The boat that capsized is a specially built catamaran that can reach speeds of 45 mph. Coast Guard Lt. Jeannie Crump said the agency did not know the extent of the damage to the boat. She said a commercial salvage boat was at the scene and would tow the vessel to Clipper Cove, between Yerba Buena Island and Treasure Island. Crump added that Coast Guard officials weren’t sure what caused the boat to capsize. The Swedish team has two boats, she added. The America’s Cup race is scheduled to run from July through September, and the teams are training in the bay. The Louis Vuitton Cup for challengers starts July 4, with the winner facing Oracle in the 34th America’s Cup beginning Sept. 7. This is the second time a sailor has died during training for the America’s Cup. In 1999, Martin Wizner of the Spanish Challenge died almost instantly when he was hit in the head by a broken piece of equipment. Artemis has had its share of upheaval in the buildup to the 34th America’s Cup. Late last year, skipper Terry Huthinson of Annapolis, Md., was released. He was replaced by Nathan Outteridge of Australia, who won a

Artemis has had technical problems, as well. Last fall, Artemis said the front beam of its AC72 catamaran was damaged during structural tests, delaying the boat’s christening. A year ago, Artemis’ AC72 wing sail sustained serious damage while it was being tested on a modified trimaran in Valencia, Spain.

Chiefs Continued from Page 1B 2008, and has been the starting left tackle ever since then. But he was limited to 13 games and 11 starts last season because of back problems, and even though he’s passed a physical, his long-term physical condition could be a question mark. That’s one of the reasons the Chiefs used their firstround pick on Fisher. He’s played the past couple seasons on the left side for Central Michigan, but did play right tackle his sophomore year. He was on the right side during the first day of the Chiefs’ rookie minicamp, too, getting started on his transition back to that side of the line. “It didn’t really surprise me. I sort of expected it,” Fisher said. “Albert’s a great tackle and somebody I can learn from, so I’m really looking forward to getting through this rookie minicamp and then learning from the veterans.” Most of the eyes during the Chiefs’ rookie minicamp were focused on the 6-foot-6, 306-pounder wearing No. 72. Kansas City had never before had the first overall pick in the NFL draft, so it’s clear that expectations will be high for the straight-forward, plain-speaking tackle. Not that Fisher’s worried about those expectations, of course. “I just try to play football,” he said. “I know how to play football, and I’m going to do what I’ve done the last four years, because that’s what has gotten me here.” Reid said that a few players turned heads during the first rookie workout, even though players wore shorts and jerseys and the level of activity was limited. One of them was Fisher. “He really looked like he felt comfortable there. It was new for him and he stepped right in. He had a heck of a day,” Reid said. “Again, we look forward to getting everybody up here. At the end of OTAs, we’ll have a final minicamp to put the rest of them together.” Notes: Former Tennessee QB Tyler Bray is getting his chance with the Chiefs after going undrafted. “I knew I was going to have to earn my way, regardless of if I got drafted or not,” he said. “I’m just looking forward to playing and hopefully learning the system.” ... The Chiefs signed OL Eric Kush, one of their two sixth-round picks, and LB Mike Catapano, their seventh-round selection. They also signed 13 undrafted free agents, including Bray.

Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — Manny Machado had a tiebreaking RBI single in Baltimore’s three-run 10th inning as the Orioles rallied for a 9-6 win over the Minnesota Twins on Friday night. Machado — who stayed in the game after fouling a ball off his ankle in the fifth — rolled a single into right field that scored Chris Dickerson and broke a 6-all tie. Nick Markakis added a sacrifice fly and Adam Jones an RBI double to cap the scoring in the 10th. Tommy Hunter (3-1) didn’t allow a run in 2 1-3 innings. Jim Johnson pitched a scoreless bottom of the 10th for his 35th consecutive save — dating back to last season — to set an Orioles franchise record. Anthony Swarzak (1-1) allowed all three runs in the 10th. Twins starter Mike Pelfrey had a 6-0 lead in the sixth inning and appeared to be cruising to his second straight win before Baltimore started smacking doubles all over the field. The Orioles hit four doubles off Pelfrey in the sixth to make it 6-3 and added two more off reliever Josh Roenicke in the seventh to tie the score. Chris Davis’s two-bagger off the scoreboard wall in right-center field scored Nick Markakis and made it 6-6. Roenicke started the seventh and allowed three runs and four hits and only recorded one out. Markakis — a career .512 hitter against the Twins — started the barrage of doubles with a leadoff double in the sixth and finished with two hits and two RBIs. Joe Mauer had three hits and two RBIs for Minnesota, which had won four of its previous five. Adam Jones and Davis each had three hits for Baltimore. Orioles starter Jason Hammel allowed six runs over four innings and failed to win on the road for the first time this season.

Matt Kenseth pleased with appeal outcome B y JENNA FRyER

Associated Press DARLINGTON, S.C. — Matt Kenseth was in Canada when J.D. Gibbs sent him the results of their appeal to NASCAR to reduce sweeping penalties against Joe Gibbs Racing. “J.D. kept texting me and the texts just kept getting longer and longer,” Kenseth said Friday. “I’m like, ‘Wait a minute. They did what? They gave us that back?”’ They sure did. Aside from crew chief Jason Ratcliff’s absence Friday at Darlington Raceway, it was almost like nothing ever happened after a three-member appeal panel dramatically reduced the penalties for having an illegal part in Kenseth’s race-winning engine at Kansas. Among the key changes: Ratcliff’s suspension was reduced from six races to one, Kenseth lost only 12 points instead of 50, a six-race suspension against team owner Joe Gibbs was wiped out and Kenseth had his three bonus points from the Kansas victory restored. The decision came a day after NASCAR chief appellate officer John Middlebrook reduced the suspensions of seven key Penske Racing employees from six points races to two, plus next week’s All-Star race. Middlebrook upheld the rest of the sanctions against Penske, but the team still viewed his decision as a victory. NASCAR President Mike Helton on Friday was not discouraged with the two-prong appeals process, despite the

mixed decisions that seemingly undermined NASCAR’s authority. “We are content with our appeal process. It’s designed to be independent, it’s designed to have layers to it, and the personalities involved are those we chose to be involved in it,” Helton said outside the NASCAR hauler. “I think the members that are involved in the sport understand our responsibility and how serious we take it, and I don’t feel like this in any way undermines what we do and in most cases the process doesn’t come back with anything that really changes our mind much. We do our job and the due process exists.” Helton admitted NASCAR doesn’t know the reasoning behind either decision issued this week. Middlebrook issued a two-sentence statement through NASCAR that shed no light on how he came to the conclusion he did in the Penske case. The three members who heard the Gibbs appeal said nothing after their decision. Understanding why a decision was made helps NASCAR change the language of its rules to avoid penalties being overturned in the future. “I don’t know that we know exactly what the appeal members were thinking,” Helton said. “But from the experience, if there’s a way for us to be more precise and changing wording or adding wording to a rule, so that the clarity of what we feel like our responsibility is translated to the member and is obvious to anybody from the outside looking at it.” Five-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson, who has been through his share of appeals with Hendrick Motor-

Drivers don’t typically attend the appeals, and are only told later how they went. “You don’t expect these reductions,” he said. “I get phone calls about what the vibe was like inside the meeting, what the meeting was like, and they are never optimistic. It’s a tough thing to live through. I know that NASCAR can never hand out a penalty that’s less than, we know it’s always going to be more than a previous penalty.”

Garcia goes 1 up on Tiger New Rutgers basketball at Players Championship coach doesn’t have degree B y RALPH D. RUSSO

B y DOUG FERGUSON

Associated Press

Associated Press PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — The Players Championship already provides plenty of theater because of its thrill-a-minute golf course. Making it even more compelling is the star attraction of Sergio Garcia and Tiger Woods, playing in the final group on the weekend for the first time in nearly seven years. Garcia made seven straight putts — six of them for birdie — on his way to a 7-under 65 to match his best score on the TPC Sawgrass. That gave him a one-shot lead over Woods, who again made short work of the par 5s and posted his second straight 67. Woods broke his own 36-hole record at Sawgrass by six shots and can’t find much wrong with his game at the moment. It’s hard to call it a rivalry because it’s so one-sided. Not only does Woods have a 77-8 margin in PGA Tour victories (and 14-0 in the majors), in the previous five times they were in the final group on the weekend on the PGA Tour, Woods has gone on to win all five times. Asked about the possibility of playing with Woods on Saturday, Garcia said he wouldn’t see it as anything but another round of golf. “I don’t have to measure myself against anybody,” Garcia said. “I know what I want to try to do, and any given day I can shoot a round like this and any other day he can shoot a good round and beat me. Like we always say, it’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon. So there are going to be good days and not so good days, so just got to enjoy the good ones as much as possible.” This was a good day. Garcia ran off five straight birdies, ending the streak with putts from 20 feet and 25 feet, and then he added a 40-foot birdie putt on the par-3 eighth. Garcia, who won The Players in 2008, was at 11-under 133. Woods looks like he’s having a good time on the course that has vexed him more than any other on the PGA Tour, and he could be the greater threat on the weekend. He now is 8-under on the par 5s this week, including a 20-foot eagle putt on No. 2 that gave him a share of lead. Woods took the outright lead with a short birdie putt on No. 4 until Garcia blazed by him with his string of birdies. Woods was asked if there was any part of his game that made him unhappy. “No, I’m pretty pleased with where it’s at right now,” Woods replied. The reporter looked at him, waiting for more. Woods looked back and finally added with a grin, “Did I answer that?” Woods and Garcia have played together on big stages — Bethpage Black, Royal Liverpool — with a big edge for Woods. They first were linked when the Spaniard was 19 and gave Woods all he could handle at Medinah in the 1999 PGA Championship. They were paired in the final round of the 2002 U.S. Open and 2006 British Open, the year Garcia dressed all in yellow. But with the tournament only halfway over, this is far more than a duel between Woods and Garcia. The 18 players within five shots of the lead include three current major champions — Adam Scott, Webb Simpson and Rory McIlroy — along with Lee Westwood, Henrik Stenson, Steve Stricker, Hunter Mahan and Zach Johnson. Westwood chipped in from 100 feet for eagle on the 11th hole and was atop the leaderboard until making pars on his last eight holes. He had a 66 and was two shots behind, along with Kevin Chappell (66)

John Raoux • The Associated Press

Sergio Garcia, of Spain, pumps his fist after making birdie on the eighth green during the second round of The Players championship golf tournament at TPC Sawgrass, Friday, in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. Garcia shot 7-under par for the round, for a two-day score of 11-under par. and Stenson, who had two eagles on the front nine in his round of 67. Ryan Palmer, who learned Thursday night that one of his best friends died in a car accident in San Antonio, had two eagles in a round of 69 and was three shots behind. Defending champion Matt Kuchar birdied three of his last four holes for a 66 and was at 7-under 137, along with Scott, Mahan and Johnson. McIlroy was coming off back-to-back bogeys when he chose to go for the green in two at the par-5 ninth — he had planned to lay up each day. He hit the trees and got into a mess, and McIlroy made his third straight bogey. He rallied on the back for a 72 and was in the group at 6-under 138.

“I’ve made the cut, which I’m delighted about,” said McIlroy, who had missed the weekend his three previous times. “But I am in there with a chance.” Woods won The Players in 2001, highlighted by that 60-foot putt on the island green described by NBC Sports analyst Gary Koch as “better than most.” But he has only seriously contended twice, and he has failed to crack the top 20 eight times in 15 appearances. Woods is accentuating only the positive. “Even though I haven’t played well in the past, I’ve still won here,” he said. “Actually, I’ve won here twice, technically.” He was referring to the U.S. Amateur in 1994, the first of his three straight titles.

New Rutgers basketball coach Eddie Jordan is not a graduate of the university as the school had claimed, another embarrassment for an athletic program still smarting from the firing of previous coach Mike Rice. Jordan’s biography on the athletic department’s website says he earned a degree in health and physical education in 1977. But the registrar’s office at the university says the former NBA player and coach never graduated from Rutgers, though he earned 103 credit hours from 1973 to 1985. The degree discrepancy was first reported Friday by the sports website Deadspin, resulting in an admission of error later in the day. A statement released by the athletic communications office said: “While Rutgers was in error when it reported that Eddie Jordan had earned a degree from Rutgers University, neither Rutgers nor the NCAA requires a head coach to hold a baccalaureate degree.” A second statement from the university also defended the Scarlet Knights’ new coach. “His athletic skills and leadership and his professional accomplishments have been a source of pride for Rutgers for more than three decades,” it said. “We are excited to have him as our men’s basket-

ball coach, and we look forward to many winning seasons.” A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press the mistake was made by members of the university communications department while doing research for Jordan’s bio, who never verified the information with the coach. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the error. Jordan was hired last month to replace Rice, who was fired after video was made public showing him kicking and shoving players and yelling obscenities and antigay slurs at them. Two university administrators resigned over the scandal. In an interview with ESPN, Jordan said he failed to get his diploma when he did not register properly, but he maintained that he completed his degree after his NBA career ended in 1984. “Some of the professors are still around and some are gone but they all know I was in class and did my work,” Jordan said. “There was arrogance on my part when I was told I didn’t register right and then I left to (coach at) Old Dominion. I was told my classes were never recorded. I saw a transcript. I will have to find it. I was there and I completed the work. My professors that are still there know that. That’s it.” Jordan is Rutgers’ career leader in both assists (585) and steals (220), and scored 1,632 points. He was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round in 1978.

“We don’t always have to be serious,” Proctor said. “And I wish the girls would be more lighthearted sometimes. They try to take everything so seriously and are trying to be so serious about ‘we got to score, got to score’ that they didn’t just settle down and take their minds out of the game and just play.” Junior forward Grace Gradnigo, who scored twice in the second half,

said the team was still tired and sore from the Manhattan game. Proctor gave the team a pep talk at halftime which brought the team back to the here and now. The refocused Jays adjusted to a more possession oriented style. Senior Erika Goodwin fired a cross into the center and Gradnigo out-jumped the defender, putting her head on it and popping the ball high into the air. It went past the keeper and bounced on the turf en route to popping back up into the net. “I was just trying to get it in,” Gradnigo said. “I was flailing my body around. I just wanted to get a goal.” The goal visually loosened up the Jays. From that moment on, the team eliminated any doubt they would leave with a victory to capture the best regular season record in school history at 12-3. With 10 minutes remaining and the game in hand, Proctor went even further to foster the spirit of fun. He switched Goodwin into net and played senior keeper Lily Thornberg up top for the first time in her career. Now the slate is wiped clean. Junction City hosts its first regional game 6 p.m. Tuesday at Al Simpler Stadium. The Jays will find out the opponent Saturday. And the team is determined to win in order to set up a redemption game against rival Manhattan. “It still hurts,” Meadows said. “But hopefully we’ll play them again so we can redeem ourselves.”

Along with the dominant performance by Zimmermann, the Blue Jays defense has turned the corner and stepped up its game. When Zimmermann did occasionally stumble into trouble, solid fielding and an excellent pick-off throw by Denton neutralized the threat. “(Our) communication has been way better,” Denton said about why the defense has improved. “Early in the season we weren’t really communicating real well and bad communication equals bad plays. Communication really stepped up and it looks a lot better.” In the bottom of the seventh, Zimmermann once again found himself in a pickle, with two on. But he kept throwing strikes, giving his defense the opportunity to make plays behind him. “I thought our defense was great all day,” Gerstner said. “Our defense gave us a chance to win and I thought multiple guys — Nate Funk — made plays to help us secure a win.” Consistency at the plate continues to plague the Blue Jays. The team totalled just two runs the entire day. Denton said the key to turning the bats around will be players taking better at-bats by swinging at better pitches. Gerstner said the simple answer is his team is just plain struggling at the plate. “The nice thing about bats is they come and go,” He said. “We want our defense and pitching to be consistent. That’s part of baseball, bats come and go. Even the big league guys, they go in slumps and they come back. So we think they will come back.” Junction City could not get the sweep, dropping the second game 12-1. The contest was tight until the big inning reared

its ugly head again. The Blue Jays allowed six runs in the fourth to fall behind 7-1 and couldn’t recover. The split means the locals end the regular season with 6-14 record. The regional matchups will be released this morning and the Jays will travel either to Manhattan or Lawrence Free State Wednesday. “We’re very confident,” Denton said. “We have, to me, an all-state pitcher in Nick Zimmermann. He’s great, he throws a lot of strikes, keeps hitters off balance. So I think we’re really confident. It only takes two wins to go to state so I think we can pull off two and maybe get a chance at state.”

Thanks mom, dad for raising me right Dear Annie: I am writing a long overdue thankyou note to my parents. They are faithful readers of your column. Mom and Dad, I am thankful that: You stood your ground and did not give in to me, even when I threw fits and demanded my way. You supported me in school and gave me the tools to succeed, instead of letting me waste my potential. You made me honor the commitments I had made, instead of allowing me to quit when it became hard or boring. You took me to church on Sundays, rather than allowing me to sleep in. You insisted that I respect authority, not thinking it was cute when I defied adults. You made me speak using clean language, not tolerating profanity even though “everyone else talked that way.” You checked my Facebook page and other social media, making me remove anything inappropriate or insulting to others. You explained the dark and dangerous path I was choosing when I was tempted to dabble in alcohol and drugs, instead of turning a blind eye. You encouraged and persuaded me to wait when I considered having sex as a teen, rather than buying me birth control. You showed me how to forgive others and overlook offenses, instead of letting me develop a bitter spirit. You taught me the value of teamwork, not a “Me First” attitude. You guided me to develop goals and not live for immediate self-gratification. You helped me choose friends carefully and wisely, instead of welcoming everyone into my life under the guise of being nonjudgmental. You insisted that I apologize when I was wrong and make efforts at reconciliation, rather than create unnecessary enemies. You lectured me often, instead of biting your tongue. You were the authority figures in the home, and I knew it. Even though I yelled that you hated me, I didn’t really believe that. I knew that every word and action from you came from a giant heart of love. Here’s to you, Mom and Dad. Thank you for your coura-

geous parenting. — Young Adult Who Is Better for It Dear Young Adult: We can only imagine how proud your parents will be to see this. We hope every parent who reads your letter will make a copy to keep by their bedside and believe that their own child wrote it. Thank you. Dear Annie: “California” asked about the gifts for a young man entering boot camp. Unless they do it differently now, you can’t just change your mind. You sign a contract. Leaving would be “going AWOL,” and they will come looking for you. — Been There Dear Been: Actually, this is not so. You can change your mind about enlisting, as long as you go through the proper procedures to do so. Dear Annie: Your response to “Iowa” was a little short of information. She questioned why toilet paper dispensers were so low. According to the Americans with Disabilities Act, they are required to be at that height. Requirements also include heights for side and rear grab bars, as well as minimum stall sizes and clearances. Did you know that a 5-foot circle is required as a clear dim within a handicapped stall? There is more, but you get the point. — Christian in Aptos

Horoscope The Gemini moon is a happygo-lucky hipster, mingling and mixing jovially with the other planetary influences. Is any of this discourse to be taken seriously? Actually, yes. As you go about your friendly, merry way, you’ll find that truths come through in their most amusing forms. As Freud contended: There are no jokes. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Carefully phrase your compliments and be thoughtful with your praise. Loved ones want to be recognized for their unique qualities, not for how well they suit your needs. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). With so many planetary influences rooting for you these days, it’s a wonderful time for you, if you know what to do with it. Don’t be afraid to go for what you really want! GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Morality and honor are virtues not to be confused. “The difference between a moral man and a man of honor is that the latter regrets a discreditable act, even when it has worked and he has not been caught.” — H. L. Mencken CANCER (June 22-July 22). The best gift you could give another now is your kindness. It will trump anything you could buy today. Your sincere words of comfort and support would not be possible without your inherently good heart. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You want to partner with someone who will carry out mundane processes and handle the details so you will be free to create. You may not find this person, but look anyway, because you’re unlikely to find

that which you don’t seek. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t need approval, but you will benefit from gaining trust. Bonus: The work you do to gain someone’s trust will also build your confidence and skills. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are two kinds of stress: destructive stress and helpful stress. Cut out destructive stress by biting off slightly more than you can chew but not enough to choke you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The intensity of your life will be dialed up today. Though you may not be certain of exactly how you feel, you’re absolutely certain that you do feel something. Take all the time you need to process. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The day features so much speculation, argument, writing and opinion sharing that by evening you’ll long for silence and perhaps some mindless entertainment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A casual relationship is becoming more important to you. The rhythm of it suits your life nicely. The exchanges you share may be lighthearted, but they are also meaningful and filled with feeling. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll prepare yourself well, anticipating potential problems and making sure that the solutions are close at hand. Brilliance occurs in the planning and setup stages of a project. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you start to lose steam or develop a less than enthusiastic attitude, being around a happy person, even if it’s only for a few minutes, will put you in a positive mood.

Caring for quilts preserves unique heirlooms

Q

uilts are unique heirlooms passed from generation to generation. Part of the beauty of quilts is the history and age. No two are exactly alike and the little mistakes give the quilt its character. They are often handmade by a family member and passed down or given as a gift at special occasions. Whether your quilt is an antique or contemporary it will have special needs when it comes to preserving it for future generations. Quilts need to be aired on a regular basis to get rid of the musty smell they sometimes get from being stored. This can easily be done by putting them on display. The best way to display a quilt is on an unused bed. The bed fully supports the quilt so that there is less strain on the stitches or fabric. Often quilts are displayed by hanging. If you display your quilts by hanging rotate

Jamie Martin Commentary them out every six months. If you display by hanging the quilt it needs to have an even support where it is attached to the hanger. A washed unbleached muslin sleeve can be made and attached to the top of the quilt. Then use a heavy dowel rod through the sleeve to hang the quilt. Racks are another popular way to display quilts, but make sure that the quilt is well supported on the rack. Cover any part of the rack that touches the quilt with unbleached muslin or acid free paper. Wood releases acids over time that can harm or discolor

fibers so you want to keep your quilt from touching any wood surfaces. Exposure to light fades textile dyes and deteriorates fibers. Silk is especially susceptible to light but all fabrics can be damaged. Damage is caused by any light but especially ultraviolet. Keep quilts out of direct sunlight and away from fluorescent lights. Close blinds or shutters and keep the lights off in the room when not in use. Before deciding how to clean stains from a quilt you may want to consult a textile expert who can tell you more about the fabric and the care that it requires. The American Institute for Conservation offers a free referral service, visit their website www.conservation-us.org to learn more. First, consider if the quilt really needs to be cleaned. Cleaning puts stress on the fabric and

makes it break down faster. Quilts should never be dry cleaned or put in a washer — these machines agitate and spin the contents putting stress on the fabric and the stitching. Check that your fabric is color safe before spot cleaning. Use a mild detergent and water to remove stains when spot cleaning. In some cases you may have to accept the stain as part of the history of a quilt in order not to further damage the quilt. You will eventually want to store your quilts. Change the way you fold your quilt and refold often. This prevents permanent creases, redistribution of the batting and moves the strain put on fabric at the fold. Pad the folds with acid free tissue paper. Wrap the quilt in acid free paper or washed unbleached muslin to protect it on the shelf. Do not store quilts in cedar chests or plastic bags. They limit the air

circulation and can produce harmful byproducts as they age. Also, mold and mildew can grow if moisture is trapped. If you store your quilts in boxes make sure that they are acid free. Store in an area of your house that stays about the same temperature year round and where there is little humidity. Finally, don’t be nervous to use your quilts. Remember the person that made the quilt crafted it with love and care to be used on a daily basis. Displaying it lets others enjoy and admire the craftsmanship and hard work that went into it. When properly cared for quilts will carry their meaning and memories into the future for others to enjoy.

JC art events abound in May B y K imberly S caler

JC Arts Council

his month at the Junction City Arts Council is going to be pretty busy. Not only do we have our planned move at the end of the month, but we still have our regular classes, our fundraiser and lots more. The cast for our Murder Mystery fundraiser has begun meeting and practicing for the big night on May 25. Our Godfather is ready to welcome his most honored guests, but only those who are on the list may attend. If you aren’t sure you are on the list, call to make your reservations and receive your password before the spaces fill up. This speakeasy at the Marriott has to stick to fire code. Due to our move at the end of the month, and because our current location at 107 W. Seventh St., has been our face for such a long time, we’d like to invite everyone —

artists and art lovers alike — to stop by one last time for a casual get-together surrounded by our current displays of local art. Meet the new administrator for the Arts Council, ask any questions you may have about the move or future endeavors of the Arts Council, and enjoy a cup of coffee from Bob’s Coffee Shop. This event will be on May 17 from 5 to 8 p.m., so stop by after work even if only for a few minutes and strike up a conversation about art. Once our Farewell Mingle is finished, things will be a little more chaotic at the Arts Council as we prepare to move art and furniture from our current building to the C.L. Hoover Opera House. During this transition, it’s inevitable that we will find things we can’t move or no longer need. It is our hope that some of these things find a better home when we hold a moving sale the morning of May 25. Some of our framed prints will also be on sale during this time as we transition away from pre-purchased merchandise to pri-

marily original, local art. We’ll have more details about this moving sale soon. Finally, our Brown Bag Concerts have not had very favorable weather this year. We had to cancel two out of three concerts due to rainy and wet conditions. It is our hope that our last concert of this year will go smoothly, and the JCMS Jazz Band and St. Xavier Choir will be able to perform without a hitch. Assuming the weather cooperates, come out to Heritage Park at noon May 15 to enjoy this final Brown Bag Concert of 2013. Next year we hope to work again with Lincoln, Franklin, Sheridan and Washington Elementary schools — without the rain. Keep up with the JC Arts Council and all of our upcoming events and classes online or on several social media platforms.

Wyoming” starring Maureen O’Hara. Other film credits include 1968’s “The Boston Strangler” with Tony Curtis and 1967’s “Tony Rome” with Frank Sinatra. She had a parallel career in TV, with shows including “The Adventures of Kit Carson” in 1953 and “The Pepsi-Cola Playhouse” in 1954 and “Bracken’s World” in 1969-70. In a recurring role on “L.A. Law,” she played the mother to Bernsen’s character, Arnie, and received a 1987 Emmy nomination for best guest actress in a drama. Bernsen later joined his mother on her series, making several appearances as a priest, Father Todd. But it was her role on “The Young and the Restless” that made her a TV star intimately familiar to viewers. In 1984, Cooper’s real-life facelift was televised on the show as her character underwent the surgery at the same time, and had no regrets about it. “It opened up reconstructive surgery for so many people, youngsters getting things done,” she said. “To this day, people will come up to me and say, ‘Thank you so much for doing that. My mom or I had something done, and not just cosmetic surgery.’ That was an incredible experience in my life.” “The Young and the Restless” has topped the daytime serial ratings for more than 24 years, in part because of the continuity provided by Cooper and its other long-time stars including Eric Braeden. It held its ground as the genre diminished in popularity and the majority of soaps vanished. Cooper’s 30-year marriage to Harry Bernsen ended in divorce. The couple have three children, Corbin, Caren and Collin, and eight grandchildren.

Read-aloud time important during summer Storytime themes Events calendar A s the school year comes to an end, at the public library, we are hitting the overdrive gear in our summer reading preparations. During the next few months kids and parents alike will be looking for ways to fill their time. The public library offers many ways to help fill those hot summer afternoons, but there are a few suggestions we have for helping children read at home. During the summer months, it is important children do not lose all of the reading and comprehension skills they have learned throughout the year, or that they may need to get ready for the next school year. One way parents can encourage those reading skills is for families to take part in reading aloud, known as “read-aloud” time. What is a read-aloud you may ask? Well, many parents probably already do read-alouds without realizing. Just as it implies, a read-aloud is when someone reads a story aloud to others. At home, this can be done by parents, older siblings or caretakers. This can also take place in child care and daycare facilities. This time can even be counted toward summer reading log time! Some of the best read alouds for young children are those that allow them to interact with the story. Whether that is through actions, sounds or just being able to react, it makes it more fun for the listener. With children, good read-alouds allow them to picture the scene and the action in the story. These stories use good description and

Janene Hill Librarian’s report detail. In all cases, the best read-alouds include expression, emotion and appropriate reactions by the reader. This may include stopping to ask questions of the listener to help engage them in what is going on in the story. Reading aloud can be daunting and may not come naturally to some people, but practice will make one more comfortable. Besides, many children are not worried if you mispronounce a word, skim over unimportant details, or re-read a section. If the reader shows excitement and interest in the story, so will the listener. Experts in reading and education point out that the most important thing adults can do in preparing children for school success is to read with them. In doing so, they build listening, comprehension, vocabulary and language skills, and increase their awareness of the world, all while developing imagination and creativity. Our efforts to help in the readaloud realm start with storytimes and other events for children. Monday, May 13, will mark an important point in the summer prep calendar as we open registration for Storytime and special

events for the summer. Preschoolers ages 3 and up can take part in the six-week Summer Storytime program. Summer Storytime takes place on Tuesdays with sessions at 10:15 and 11:15 a.m. and 1:15 p.m. with Miss Pam. Parents can choose one of these times for their child to attend. Also available is Family Storytime with Miss Diedre. Family Storytime is open for all ages and encourages parents and children to take part in Storytime together. This program takes place on Tuesdays at 6 p.m. All storytimes include a variety of stories around a chosen topic. Also included are various extension activities such as puppets, flannel board stories, action plays, songs, or other activities. Children also get to do a craft and take home a coloring page. Children ages 8 to 12 can sign up for the annual Super Sleuths program. This is a four-week program which takes place on Wednesdays at 1:30 p.m. Experts from the Milford Nature Center lead children in lessons about nature and the world around us. Participants will create various projects and get an up-close view of some of the creatures who live at the Nature Cen-

used in training volunteer hospice workers to get a sense of what Joanna’s duties would be. “She’s able to take a subject that most writers could not find the wonder in and find wonder in that world, a world of people who are slowly losing themselves,” says novelist, short story writer and fellow North Carolinian Ron Rash, author of the novels “Serena” and “The Cove” and the story collection “Nothing Gold Can Stay.” “When I read it, it struck me how incredible it was for a writer to do this. I don’t think I could do it. But she has the talent. ... it’s a book that my one fear would be people saying, ‘I can’t read that,’ but I would argue that anybody who reads it, if they’ve been through this situation, it will make them feel better in a real deep sense.” McCorkle, who lives in Hillsborough, N.C., and teaches writing at North Carolina State University, feels that way, too. Her mother has dementia, and she’s a believer in finding reasons to laugh in hard circumstances. “You have to be able to do that in order to get through it,” she says. “I would even argue that the ability to find humor

enables you to step closer to what is sad and heartbreaking. “When my dad died, it was a life-changing moment. One minute you’re sitting there, and this person is in the room. The next, they’re gone. As a young person, you imagine life will yield to difficult situations, and it doesn’t at all. The bills keep coming. My kids were little then, and I still had to fix lunch. You have to go to work. I was amazed I could grieve and continue all of life’s activities at the same time. But mostly, I could not stop imagining what was going through my dad’s mind.” Still drawn to that line between life and death, McCorkle says she’d like to go through the volunteer training for hospice work someday. “I think the thing that struck me when I was reading one of the books is where you’re trying to engage memories, when a patient is still able to talk, and you’re trying to engage them in a way that keeps them front and center,” she says. “It’s the art of trying to be there and supportive without imposing anything. It struck me that that is what a good writer should do as well.”

‘Charlie Brown’ actor to serve sentence in rehab E lliot S pagat

Associated Press SAN DIEGO — The man who was the original voice of Charlie Brown in “Peanuts” television specials was sentenced Wednesday to a year in jail for threatening his former girlfriend and stalking her plastic surgeon, then immediately released to a residential drug treatment center. A judge warned Peter Robbins that he could be sent to prison for

nearly four years if he violates the terms of his probation. “Don’t be a blockhead,” Superior Court Judge Dwayne Moring told Robbins, borrowing a line from Charlie Brown’s friend Lucy. Robbins, 56, choked back tears as he told the judge that treatment for alcoholism and addiction to prescription medications would be a first step toward becoming “the fun-loving person” he was. He said he loved his former girlfriend, and he apologized

to her and her plastic surgeon “for any fear that I caused.” Robbins, who has been in jail since his arrest in January and pleaded guilty in April, received five years’ probation and must undergo treatment for domestic violence and stalking. He was ordered to pay the plastic surgeon $15,082 in restitution and to avoid contacting her for 10 years. Prosecutors have said Robbins called the former girlfriend as many as 37 times over 24 hours, threatening to kill her and her

son if she didn’t return his dog and car. He allegedly followed the plastic surgeon, calling her office so frequently that she moved to a hotel and hired an armed guard. Prosecutors said he demanded a refund for his ex-girlfriend’s breast enhancement. The plastic surgeon wrote to the judge that Robbins wrote a note on her office door, threatening to break her “in half.” Robbins starred as Charlie Brown in the 1965 debut “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and held

the role in five other television specials, including “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” in 1966. Scott McGuire, who helps run a Peanuts history website called FiveCentsPlease.org, said every “Peanuts” producer since Robbins’ final television special in 1969 has sought actors who can match his voice. McGuire said they have generally succeeded, but Robbins “remains the definitive version of Charlie Brown.”

National Nurses Week pays tribute to thousands of nurses every year from May 6th through May 12th. National Nurses Week concludes on May 12th with the celebration of International Nurses Day and the birthday of Florence Nightingale. Nightingale (1820 - 1910), is considered the founder of modern nursing and still serves as a model for nurses today.

PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING Public Health Nursing was established in 1893 in New York City under the leadership of Lillian Wald, a nurse and founder of the Henry Street Settlement and the Visiting Nurse Service. Ms. Wald advocated for healthy living by educating the community on disease prevention through proper sanitation by promoting cleanliness and personal hygiene, nutrition, food and water safety. Public Health Nurses played a significant role in the early fight against childhood diseases and other communicable diseases. Today we continue the tradition which has expanded to include bioterrorism, teen pregnancy, chronic diseases and HIV/AIDS to name a few. Public health nurses care for the community population by responding to priority health needs of the community and is an advocate for targeted interventions. Services offered in our community local Public Health Department focuses on services and programs that improved health and disease prevention. v Women, Infant and Children v Mother and Infant v Family Planning v Early Detection Works for Early Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening v Testing and Outreach for Communicable Diseases such as an STI/HIV v Immunization v Preventative Health Screenings/Wellness Exams v Community Active Disease Surveillance v Family Health Kansas v Health Education Outreach v Environmental Services

As we celebrate National Nurses Week, these sponsors salute the men and women so committed to caring, they’ve made it their life’s work.

Clearing air on cicada confusion

Anniversaries Smalls to mark 50th anniversary

R

Frank and Henrietta Small are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. The couple was married on May 26, 1963, at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Junction City. They have two children and five grandchildren. Their daughter, Kris Tomlinson, resides in Harvest, Ala., with her husband, Mike, and their two children Haley and Aron. Their son, Mike Small, resides in Augusta, with his wife, Maggie Small, and their three children, Corey, Mariah and Ashley. The couple spends their time regularly attending plays at the C.L Hoover Opera House and working on various projects around the house. They are also very active in their church. The family would like to invite the public to join in their celebration on May 25 at immanuel Lutheran Church from 2 to 4 p.m.

ecent popular press articles, and even an article in The Daily Union, has led to many questions and some confusion about cicadas. So let’s clear the air about cicadas. What are they, where are they and when can we expect them to be here? Cicadas are insects of the order Homoptera, which includes other insects like aphids and leaf hoppers. There are many species of cicadas. At least five species are well known to Kansas. There are annual cicadas like the dog day cicadas that serenade us from late June through September. There are also periodical cicadas, sometimes known as 17 year cicadas or 17 year locusts, which are making the news right now. All cicadas have piercing sucking mouthparts. Eggs are laid on woody plants. Upon hatching the nymphs fall to the ground, burrow into the soil and feed on roots of trees and shrubs. When they mature they crawl out of the ground and up onto trees or other support and molt out of their skins leaving the well known hollow shell behind. The males have well developed sound producing organs that they use to attract mates. As their name implies, annual cicadas are around every year. The dog days cicada, bush cicada and small prairie cicada are present every year. The periodical cicadas are split into the 17 year cicadas and the 13 year cicadas. While many people have historically called them locusts, this is incorrect

ChuCk Otte Field & Garden as locusts are actually grasshoppers and are in a totally different order. The periodical cicadas are separated into geographically distinct groups or broods. There are 12 different broods of the 17 year cicadas and 3 broods of the 13 year cicadas. Kansas and the eastern Great Plains, are about as far west as any of the periodical cicadas go, probably because they feed on tree roots. While we can expect about the same number of annual cicadas every year, those numbers are dwarfed by the number of periodical cicadas that emerge during a brood year. The brood currently getting ready to emerge is Brood II. Brood II is limited to northern North Carolina up through southeastern New York and Connecticut. It is hundreds of miles away from here. So let’s clear that bit of confusion up right now. Everything that you are reading about the periodical cicadas simply isn’t going to occur here. All we’ll be dealing with this year is our

good old regular annual cicadas. But hang on, because our turn is coming in just two years and I’m excited about that. What we have here is Brood IV. Brood IV last emerged in 1998 and will emerge again in 2015. Some entomologists feel that the 13 year broods don’t get this far west. Brood XIX of the 13 year cicadas also emerged in 1998 so it was difficult to differentiate between them and Brood IV. If we did have Brood XIX here it would have showed up again in 2011 and we simply didn’t see any around. Periodical cicadas emerge in May and early June, earlier than annual cicadas. They are smaller and bizarre looking with orangish coloration and wild red eyes. They tend to occur in very high numbers and they are loud. I measured them at 90 decibels, which can cause hearing damage with prolonged exposure. So, we do have periodical cicadas, but we won’t have them this year. I’ll be talking about them in 2015 and encouraging you to go out and look at them. When they do occur, their time is short, so you need to act fast to get out and enjoy this once-every-17-year phenomenon. Stay tuned.

Birthday parties for kids can be creative without the cost

B y K im m c m ahan

Akron Beacon Journal AKRON, Ohio — If Junior wants a birthday party with a dozen of his closest friends, it might mean breaking into his piggy bank. Busy parents who don’t have time to host a party at their home often count on places that cater to children to help them out with the big day. And that’s great if Mom and Dad can afford up to $22 a person to celebrate at popular party places. But some are opting instead to throw bashes themselves for Junior and his pals. Lindsay and C.J. Lyons of Springfield Township, Ohio, recently held a party at home for their son’s third birthday. Total price for about 50 guests, including kids, their parents and four generations of relatives — less than $200, including food. C.J. admitted having to clean up isn’t a pleasant chore, but he thinks such events are more personal when family and friends are guests in someone’s home. “We are super family-oriented,” C.J. explained. “I was taught that the best thing you can do is cook a meal for somebody.” C.J. made finger foods, like sloppy joes and pigs in a blanket hors d’oeuvres, for his son Davin’s big day. “This is great,” said the party boy’s grandmother, Lori Lyons. “It teaches the children that it’s OK to be at home. You don’t have to go to theaters or restaurants or to game rooms to have a good time.” As a sales associate at Karen’s Hallmark in Ellet, Ohio, Lindsay Lyons is in the habit of thinking creatively. She maintains parties don’t have to cost much if parents search around the house or ask friends for materials needed to make decorations. Davin’s party, which took place on a recent spring afternoon, featured a Peter Pan theme. The little boy dressed as Peter Pan, his dad was Captain Hook, Mom was Tinker Bell and other guests made up the Disney characters. “I think having a themed party is more exciting for the children — especially if you can find people who look like the characters. It brings the story to life,” said Davin’s grandfather, Jack Lyons, who was dressed as Smee, Captain Hook’s righthand man. The party invitations were stuffed inside a “spy-

glass,” made from paper towel and toilet paper rolls. Parents were warned that their children, who would play the parts of Neverland’s lost boys and girls, should dress in old clothes as they would be getting dirty. C.J. cut out daggers and swords from foam that were used in a vociferous brawl between the adults and kids. Other features for the party included a teepee

made with half-inch dowel rods. The children painted the sheet that covered the rods. In keeping with the story in which Peter Pan lost his shadow, Lindsay borrowed a floodlight and chalk was used to catch children’s shadows on black paper, hung on a wall. The silhouettes were given to parents as favors. One of the highlights was a pirate ship that was large enough for the children to

play inside. C.J. cut out the pieces in advance and instructed the children to put it together. Horsing around inside the ship with his son, someone called to the proud father, who had been in the U.S. Navy for four years. “Are you seasick yet, Captain Hook?” C.J. grinned and shook his head. “Never did get seasick.” Karen Schiely • Akron Beacon Journal In a ship of cardboard — Davin Lyons, 3 years old, blows out a candle on his treasure chest or that of steel.
