Buzzing about Fort Riley soldier sentenced to life for murder A Fort Riley private has been convicted in the stabbing death of another soldier and sentenced to life in prison without parole. A court martial panel at Fort Riley sentenced Pvt. John Hughes Tuesday for the death of 21-year-old Pvt. Thomas Lavrey, of West Seneca, N.Y. Lavrey was found unresponsive in his barracks room at the fort in May 2012. Hughes also will be dishonorably discharged, will forfeit all pay and allowances, and have his rank reduced. Hughes was convicted of murder, resisting arrest, false official statements, larceny, wrongful appropriation and going AWOL. KMAN reports that authorities said Hughes stabbed Lavrey in the back of the neck, stole a military vehicle and resisted arrest. Hughes will be confined in the U. S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth.

Local school children learn about attacks, heroes Chase Jordan • The Daily Union

c.jordan@thedailyunion.net While walking through a neighborhood Wednesday morning, Eisenhower Elementary School students proudly held up miniature flags and brightly-decorated signs. As the children chanted “U-SA!,” some people came outside as the pack passed their homes. Motorist slowed down and smiled. Eisenhower was one of many Unified School District 475 schools that participated in the annual America Supports You Freedom Walk. The purpose of the activity is to reflect on the lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001, remember those who responded and to honor veterans. Firefighters from the Junction City Fire Department and parents also participated with Eisenhower students. Susan Kamphaus, principal of Eisenhower Elementary, reflected
on the tragic d a y , which occurred 12 years ago, before the students in the school were even born. Kamphaus was in a faculty meeting when she heard the news of the attacks. “When I first heard about it, I did not know the magnitude of what had happened,” Kamphaus said. “I just knew about the one plane.” Two hijacked commercial airliners were flown in the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan. A third hijacked airliner was crashed into the Pentagon, and a fourth went down in a Pennsylvania field. After having a meeting, Kam-

ednesday morning was a time to honor heroes.
For Maj. Gen. Paul E. Funk and those in attendance at the post’s 9/11 commemoration ceremony at the Global War on Terrorism monument yesterday, it was a tribute to more than just those who lost their lives 12 years ago. The ceremony, a tradition at Fort Riley since the 2001 terrorist attacks, serves to honor and
remember those who were killed Sept. 11, 2001, and to recognize the bravery and heroism of those who answered the nation’s call to defend America in the aftermath of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The monument is a small replica of the twin towers on a pentagon-shaped granite base. It bears the names of Fort Riley soldiers who have given their lives in Afghanistan and Iraq.

phaus and others felt it was best to let the student’s parents explain what occurred in the East. “They needed to be in the comfort of being with their parents when they shared that with them,” Kamphaus said. “So we didn’t talk about it that day.” Prior to the walk Wednesday, inside a packed gymnasium, Kamphaus discussed what occurred on 9/11 by using a book and a projector.
“I think it’s important for them to know about it, so they can understand throughout history when anyone tries to cut down America or harm us, we unite and we fight back,” Kamphaus said. “We have a strong belief in our freedom and what’s best for us in America.” During the afternoon, students from Westwood Elementary proudly marched with their parents and Fort Riley soldiers. Like Kamphaus, Westwood’s principal Shelly Kite felt the same way. “I think the freedom walk is a great opportunity for us to celebrate all of the heroes that serve us in this country,” Kite said about military personnel and emergency officials. “I think it’s great for the kids to recognize, particularly living in a military community.”

Square dancers welcome The Buckles and Bows Square Dance Club is sponsoring a special annual dance Sunday, Sept. 15, at the 4-H/Senior Center, 1107 S. Spring Valley Road. The callers are well known from Nebraska — Mike Hogan and Lanny Weaklend. The Plus starts at 2:30 and the dance runs from 3 to 5 p.m. Those who don’t dance are welcome to
watch. Buckles and Bows have a history of 57 years of dancing. In October, 1956, four couples — Bill and Lois Strauss, Willidean and Shirley Janke, John and Kreta Schultz and Bob and Ella Mae Dickson — decided that Junction City needed a second square dance club, which they named
Buckles and Bows. In the beginning, the Buckles and Bows danced on the top floor of the Odd Fellows Hall. To reach the dance hall, people had to climb a very narrow, steep staircase. Once the staircase was navigated, the dancing was on a hardwood floor. However, there were problems with the Old Fel-
lows Hall, including a leaking roof and lack of air conditioning. To continue dancing, the Buckles and Bows held their dances outside in parking lots or on tennis courts. The group soon moved their dance location to the 4-H/Senior Center. Until the 1980s, the cover charge was $2 and refresh-
ments included coffee and water with cookies for special events. Now, the cost is $8, but members provide a variety of hors d’oeuvres and desserts. Buckles and Bows dance on the third Saturdays. They are now a mainstream club with a little plus, round and line dancing mixed in.

Syrian opposition forces feel let down by Obama B y B arBara S urk and Z eina k aram
Associated Press BEIRUT — Syrian opposition forces feel let down and more divided than ever because of President Barack Obama’s decision to seek a diplomatic path to disarming Damascus of its chemical weapons. Many rebels who had held out hopes that U.S.-led strikes on President Bashar Assad’s government would help tip the scales as the two sides faced a deadly stalemate said America has indirectly given the embattled leader a second wind as a statesman negotiating with world powers. “We’re on our own,” Mohammad Joud, an opposition fighter in the warshattered northern city of Aleppo, said via Skype. “I always knew that, but thanks to Obama’s shameful conduct, others are waking up to this reality as well.” Rebels who have been fighting for 2 1/2 years to topple Assad say the U.S. has repeatedly reneged on promises to assist their rebellion, offering only rhetoric. In June, Obama announced he would provide lethal aid to the rebels, but so far none of that assistance has gotten to the opposition and the Syrian leader’s forces have gained the advantage. Violence continued Wednesday when government warplanes hit a field hospital in the town of alBab near Aleppo, killing 11 people and wounding dozens more, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The group, which relies on reports from activists on the ground, said a Yemeni doctor was among those killed in the airstrike. After a feverish campaign to win over Congress and the American people to support military strikes against Syria, Obama said Tuesday he would give diplomacy more time to rid the country of its chemical weapons arsenal that Washington says was used to gas and kill more than 1,400 people on Aug. 21 in rebel-held parts of the Ghouta area outside Damascus. The death toll has not been confirmed, but even conservative estimates from international organizations put it as at

The president did not say how long he would wait. Although Obama had said the attacks would be limited in time and scope with no intention of dislodging Assad, rebel commanders had planned to try to exploit them to shift the momentum in their favor after months of being on the defensive in what has become a war of attrition. Several rebels said they were opposed “in principle” to U.S. intervention but saw it as a necessity to change the situation on the ground. However, Assad, who has denied his forces were responsible for the attack and instead blamed rebels, fended off the threat of military action, at least for now, by agreeing to relinquish his chemical weapon stocks under a plan initiat-
ed by Russia. “Assad’s regime is going to be stronger because while they’ve agreed to give up their chemical weapons, they get to keep everything else to fight the opposition that has lost territory in the past year and has now suffered a big blow,” said Ayham Kamel, a Middle East analyst at the Eurasia Group in London. “The opposition will struggle with morale and sense of purpose.” Moreover, the opposition has been hobbled by increasing infighting between al-Qaida-affiliated militants and more moderate rebels as well as between militants and ethnic Kurds in the country’s northeast. An influx of more sophisticated weapons from Saudi Arabia earlier this year does not appear to have made a sig-
nificant mark on the ground, where Assad’s forces are on the offensive. Underscoring the government’s resiliency, hundreds of people drove through streets in the capital, Damascus, honking their car horns to celebrate Assad’s birthday on Wednesday. The Syrian leader, who turned 48, still retains popularity among some segments of Syrian society, particularly members of his Alawite sect and other minorities, including Christians. “People were hoping for America to strike to bring about some kind of solution, but we also expected that nothing would happen because nobody has a solution for Syria,” said Bissan, a resident of Damascus, who spoke to The Associated Press during her visit to Beirut Wednesday. She
insisted her full name not be used for fear of reprisals. “We are all tired of bombs and we don’t care about Assad and the opposition army (rebels), if they go or stay, because they are all responsible for crimes,” she added. “People just want some food, some peace and their relatives released from prisons.” Loay al-Mikdad, spokesman for the Free Syrian Army, a loose-knit alliance of rebel factions that is backed by the West, said the regime is just buying more time and trying to fool the international community. “We don’t believe that this delay for any kind of intervention will stop the regime from killing Syrian people or be for the Syrian people’s benefit. It will give Assad more time, and every minute, every day, every hour that passes will cost us more blood and Bashar will continue killing and nothing will change,” he said. The disappointment was also felt by many of the refugees scattered across neighboring countries in Turkey, Jordan and in Lebanon. “I think that Obama is the most cowardly American president,” asked Rabie Mahameed, a Syrian refugee from the southern town of Daraa, now living at the sprawling refugee camp of Zaatari, in Jordan. “What is he waiting for, another two years of killing until all the Syrians get killed? There is no peaceful solution. If there is no military strike, the crisis will never be solved.” Abdul Hameed Abu Mohammad, another Syrian refugee, said he was disappointed. “Postponing the strike is a game, because no one trusts the regime,” he said. The process of disarming Syria promises to be a lengthy, complicated process rife with challenges and, many are skeptical the regime would follow through on its commitments and fear it will continue its crackdown against the opposition with more traditional weapons. “Warplanes have killed far more people than the chemical weapons,” said Yasser, a fighter in Ghouta who would only give his first name for fear of reprisals.
Catalans form human chain in Spain separation bid B y JoSe ph WilSon
Associated Press BARCELONA, Spain — More than 1 million people showed their support for Catalan independence Wednesday by joining hands to form a 250-mile human chain across the northeastern region of Spain. The demonstration on the region’s annual public holiday aimed to illustrate the strength of local backing for political efforts to break away from Spain. The Catalan regional government estimated 1.6 million people in the region of 7.5 million residents took part in the human chain, many of them with
red, yellow and blue proindependence flags draped around their shoulders. “Today is a historic day. The Catalan people have reaffirmed their determination to be a free state,” said Carme Forcadell, president of the Catalan National Assembly, which organized the human chain. The protest in Catalonia was peaceful, but a small group of Spanish fascists in Madrid stormed their way into the office of the Catalan government’s delegation building in the capital. Television images showed about 10 men with Spanish fascist flags shouting, pushing people, knocking over furniture and hitting a jour-

nalist’s TV camera. They yelled “Catalonia is Spain!” and quickly left, but reportedly opened a tear gas container, forcing the 100 or so people gathered there to evacuate. During Francisco Franco’s fascist dictatorship from 1939-1975, the Catalan language was banned in schools, publishing and from public use. Despite sharing many cultural traits with the rest of Spain, many Catalans claim
a deep cultural difference based on their language, which is spoken side-by-side with Spanish in the wealthy region. Catalonia’s regional leader Artur Mas has promised to hold a referendum on independence in 2014, but the Madrid-based government has said that such a vote would be unconstitutional. Polls indicate that the majority of Catalans agree on holding a referendum,
though surveys indicate support among residents for independence is around 50 percent. It falls to less than that when those questioned are asked whether they would want a separate Catalan state outside the European Union. The Spanish government’s
More people are living abroad Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS — More people than ever are living abroad and the United States remains the most popular destination. That’s one of the key findings in new data released by the United Nations Population Division on Wednesday. According to the new statistics, 232 million people, or 3.2 percent of the world’s population, were living outside their homeland in 2013 compared with 175 million in 2000 and 154 million in 1990. The U.N. report released Wednesday said Europe and Asia combined host nearly two-thirds of all international migrants worldwide — with 72 million living in Europe and 71 million in Asia in 2013. But international migration remains highly concentrated, with half of all international migrants living in 10 countries this year. The United States hosts the largest number, 45.8 million, the report said.
First lady makes visit to Virginia center B y d arlene S uperville
Associated Press WASHINGTON — Michelle Obama drew a pair of construction paper hands for a project with military children during a 9/11 visit to a USO center at the Army’s Fort Belvoir.

Our view Marking a century at GCH
G
eary County Community Hospital turned 100 years old this month, an event that was marked with the sealing of a time capsule to be opened a century from now. While none of us obviously will be around to witness that unsealing, it is hard to imagine the changes that will take place to the local facility in the coming century will rival the progress made since the hospital’s founding by Dr. W. A. Carr, in a small house on the corner of Second and Adams streets. From those humble origins, the hospital has moved twice and grown through expansion to its current size — with 92 beds, more than 25 full-time and part-time physicians and 400 employees. With that level of employment, besides offering quality health care to the citizens of Geary County, the hospital continues to be a major economic force. We congratulate the administration, board and staff of Geary County Community Hospital on reaching this historic milestone and wish them well as they embark on its second century of service.
New ID law stickier The mess created by a new state law requiring new voters to prove their U.S. citizenship just keeps getting stickier. The state’s Department of Revenue still doesn’t have a timetable in place for putting in place a computer upgrade that would allow driver’s license offices to efficiently process those proof of citizenship documents. During a hearing on the subject, it was revealed the number of prospective Kansas voters whose registration is now on hold because they haven’t produced a birth certificate or other citizenship document has now risen to nearly 17,000. These are folks who attempted to register to vote while getting a driver’s license. The federal government says states must allow people to do so, because that is a convenient venue to do so. Most folks don’t bring their birth certificate or passport with them when they get their driver’s license. They bring their old driver’s license, figuring that is sufficient. Secretary of State Kris Kobach spearheaded this bill as another attempt to stop what experts agree is largely non-existent voter fraud. He downplayed the possible disenfranchisement of these nearly 17,000 people who have attempted to register to vote by saying many people who fill out voter registration forms in driver’s license offices don’t plan to go to the polls anyway. That is an outrageous remark, especially coming from someone who is charged in part with encouraging voter turnout. But Kobach seems far more interested in keeping people from voting than ensuring the heaviest turnout possible. That is the message that consistently emanates from the secretary of state’s office since he took office more than two years ago.

More moisture needed B y John S chlageck
R
Kansas Farm Bureau
ainfall during the end of July and the first week of August has provided hope for farmers and cattlemen across Kansas — even in the farm western corners of the state. As southwestern Kansas farmers prepare for fall wheat seeding, there are more happy faces than during the last couple years, but that’s not to say some areas don’t need moisture. “I don’t believe we’re out of the drought by any means,” says Stevens County farmer Ben McClure. “I know we haven’t gone back to a wet period. We were just blessed to have rain when we needed it badly.” McClure received five inches of rain on his farm during the first week of August. Stevens County averages 17 inches of moisture annually. Most farmers in this county are still at least 12 inches shy and in many cases more. The rains that fell in early August were spotty. A couple miles south of McClure’s fields, thirsty crops received half about two inches. Two miles north, even less. For those dry-land wheat farmers in this region of Kansas, the rains have given them the prospect of planting wheat this fall. Many haven’t harvested a crop here in three years.
“Maybe we can get it up,” McClure says. “That wasn’t the case before the rain.” If, and this is a big if, these wheat growers receive another half, threequarters or even a full inch of rain between now and the end of October, dry-land wheat will have a good chance of getting up and going heading into the winter. “Just the possibility of planting, growing and harvesting a dry-land wheat crop would be great,” McClure says. “After three years of little, if any moisture, the early August rains allowed everything out here to take a deep breath.” From a soil conservation point of view, these summer rains were a real “life saver.” Farmers like McClure were able to go into fields that hadn’t grown a crop for three years and plant a crop to cover the bare soil. Watching the precious top soil blow during this three year drought has been especially painful with no residue to hold the soil in place.. Last winter the Stevens County farmer watched the soil blow down to the hardpan – a layer of soil so compacted that neither plant roots nor water can penetrate. That’s gut-wrenching. It leaves a scar on a farmer and the land. This year will be different, thanks to
the summer rain. “We planted some feed on some of our land after we received the moisture,” McClure says. “If we hadn’t received the rain, the crop wouldn’t have grown.” Instead, the feed crop covers the land and stands between three and four feet high. The pheasants are enjoying the feed and cover, McClure says. He’s hoping for a couple good hunts in November. This year even the road sides sport green weeds. Last year was totally brown. “The pigweed and kochia are doing well since the rain,” McClure says. “It’s even been nice to see some weeds grow in places.” When’s the last time you heard a farmer talk about “liking” the looks of weeds on his land? Troubled times and conditions lend themselves to unlikely conversation, especially in western Kansas during a prolonged drought. Let’s just hope and pray these farmers receive the much needed rain they are desperate for.

In support of new animal control ordinance
B y S cott JohnSon
I
Former City Commission member
want to clear up a few things regarding the new Animal Control Ordinance that will be voted on at the next City Commission meeting. During my four years on the City Commission I was on the County Animal Control Board twice. During my first year I was not happy with the way things were handled and had been handled in the past. When I came back on the board after being on the EDC for a year I found that nothing had changed. In my opinion those on the board with the exception of Captain Breci were not interested in suggestions that would S cott save the taxpayers J ohnSon money and give the animals a better life with more protection. At that point I had quite a loud argument with the board and informed the City Commission that this board was a waste of time and I would not be attending anymore meetings but that something would need to be done to make up for their lack of action. At that point Mayor Landes formed a Committee made up of Himself, Cheryl Beatty, Myself, Casey Thomas, Jennifer Arneson, Captain Breci, Captain Leithoff, Animal Control Officer James Butler and City Prosecuter Krista Blaisdell. Lisa Junghans represented
the shelter and several other concerned citizens took part at different times. The meetings were held over the period of a year and the public had every opportunity to attend and give suggestions. Those involved spent a lot of time and effort coming up with an ordinance that will save money and protect animals. Cheryl Beatty did a great job of researching ordinances from other towns and Krista and the police officers involved made it clear that the laws could be enforced and had lots of good input as did the two local veterinarians on the committee. As most of you know I am very conservative when it comes to how the government spends money and don’t like them getting too involved in our personal business. As a result I am getting some criticism from my conservative friends that this animal ordinance is just another tax and another ordinance that can’t or won’t be enforced. I understand their concerns, our local government has wasted a lot of money over the years and as a result taxpayers have a reason to be suspicious. The new ordinance is designed to issue licenses to pet owners for a small fee, make sure dogs do not live their lives on a chain, keep dogs and cats from running wild, and a few other restrictions as to the types and number of animals that can be kept in town and under what conditions. The ordinance will also fine those
that don’t care of their animals and think that they can just dump their animals off somewhere when they are tired of them. The ordinance can be enforced and it is up to everyone to make sure that it is. Most of the problems in this town are the result of a population that sat by and watched our local government spend us into over $200 million in debt. The city audit dated Dec. 31, 2012 shows a total Governmental Activities Debt for city, county, and USD 475 at $215,358,982. If you are a city resident our share is $200,490,682. I think all normal people care about animals and their protection and I think this new ordinance can serve as a starting point for people to get involved. Don’t think of this ordinance as a new tax. Think of it as a way for those of us that care about animals to contribute to their care through license fees and hold those accountable that break the law. If everyone gets involved maybe in a few years we won’t be spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on an animal shelter that is forced to kill hundreds of animals each year. This ordinance will work if the public gets involved and can also serve as a starting point to solve other problems. If we can’t do something simple like getting people to care for their own pets, there is no chance that we can solve other problems like blight, litter, crime, and wasteful government spending.

Kansas appeals judge to take seat in January TOPEKA — Budget constraints and the need to remodel office space will keep newly confirmed Kansas Court of Appeals appointee Caleb Stegall from taking his seat for another three months, state officials said Wednesday. Court of Appeals Chief Judge Thomas Malone announced Wednesday that Stegall will be sworn in Jan. 3 during a ceremony to be webcast live from the Kansas Supreme Court chamber in Topeka. Stegall’s nomination by Gov. Sam Brownback received an unusual amount of attention, partly because Stegall is the governor’s chief counsel. It was also the first Court of Appeals appointment under a new law that took effect in July that has the governor appoint the judges, subject to Senate confirmation. Previously, an attorney-led commission screened applicants and named three finalists, with no role for lawmakers after the governor’s appointment. Stegall is filling a new, 14th seat on the state’s second-highest court. The total annual cost of the new judge’s office — which will include an assistant and two research attorneys — is expected to be $420,000. When lawmakers finished their annual session in June, they and court officials didn’t anticipate the new judge’s confirmation by the Senate until January, and they budgeted that way. But the Legislature had a special session last week to repair a murder sentencing law, and senators were legally obligated to consider Stegall’s
appointment then. “We had no idea there would be a special session,” said Ron Keefover, a spokesman for the state court system. Keefover said the judicial branch also must remodel several small, vacant offices at the Kansas Judicial Center near the Statehouse to create a new Court of Appeals judge’s suite. The renovated space won’t be available until January. “We knew this was going to happen,” Brownback spokeswoman Sara Belfry said of the delay.
Audit finds commerce department mishandled PEAK TOPEKA — A state audit says that the Kansas Department of Commerce mishandled an economic development program and violated state law by extending tax breaks above a statutory cap. Auditors said Wednesday that the commerce department authorized $7.5 million in incentives through the Promoting Employment Across Kansas, or PEAK, program in the current fiscal year. State law caps those incentives at $6 million annually. Republicans on the Legislative Post Audit Committee defended the handling of the program, saying it was being used to develop jobs. The Legislative Post Audit also said it was difficult to assess the benefits of PEAK because the commerce department has not compiled meaningful information on the program. Commerce department officials said they believed the cap was a cumulative amount that increased by $6 million each year.

More DUI check lanes coming B y D aily U nion S taf f
m.editor@thedailyunion.net Law enforcement agencies next weekend will be devoting a few more officers to detecting and deterring drunk driving in the Junction City area. Members of the Junction City Police Department, Geary County Sheriff’s Office and the Kansas Highway Patrol plan to conduct DUI check lanes Sept. 20 and 21. The check lanes are a part of “Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest.,” a national campaign that focuses on combining high-visibility enforcement with heightened public awareness of the dangers and consequences of drunk driving. The nationwide legal limit of Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) while operating a vehicle is 0.08. Any BAC of 0.08 or higher will result in a trip to jail. The public is reminded that DUI convictions stay on driving records for life. Convictions can show up on all background checks and employment screenings.

At about 1:20 p.m., officers arrested 32-year-old Melissa M. Butler, aka Melissa Culler, while she was at CD Tradepost, 329 E. Chestnut St., where she is an assistant store manager, according to her Facebook page. Junction City police Sgt. Trish Giordano said there were multiple victims. The alleged crimes have been occurring for a couple months.
It isn’t yet clear how much money allegedly was stolen. “I think we’re still trying to figure that out,” Giordano said. Butler was arrested on suspicion of 27 counts of forgery, 27 counts of identity theft, 27 counts of making a false information, 23 counts of theft, interference with a law enforcement officer and unlawful acts regarding a computer. Giordano declined to comment on how the alleged thefts happened, but said each occurred at the store and multiple victims were involved. “It was an internal theft,” she said. The investigation is ongoing.

TOPEKA — Recent changes in post-release supervision of convicted offenders should help control growth in Kansas’ prison population and stave off the prospect of building a new facility, the state’s corrections secretary said Wednesday. Roberts said in an interview with The Associated Press that the changes could result in 100 fewer people being returned to prison in each of the next two years for technical violations. He also said the savings would be reinvested in programs to treat substance abuse and mental health problems among prison inmates. “We should get some relief,” Roberts said. “It will be less than capacity.” As of Wednesday, Kansas’ male prison population was 8,877 — 78 people over capacity, Roberts said. The female population was 761, or 34 below capacity. The Kansas Sentencing Commission is expected to issue new forecasts for prison populations in the coming weeks. Roberts said the total prison population has increased by nearly 900 inmates over the past decade. The last time the system was below capacity was in December 2009. “A lot of that is due to legislation to keep sex offenders and violent offenders in prison longer,” he said, adding that there have been 99 changes in sentencing guidelines since 2005. Rep. John Rubin, a Shawnee Republican and chairman of the House Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee, said the initiatives to keep offenders from going to prison for technical probation violations will give lawmakers a short reprieve from having to consider construction of a new prison. “We’re eventually going to have to start talking about building a new prison,” he said. “We can never stop thinking about it.” He noted California’s problems with prison overcrowding and federal court orders to release prisoners. He said such situations not only endanger public safety but stress prison staff. “That’s where we do not want to go,” he said. Rubin said if the state lets the prison system get to that point, it could encourage federal lawsuits forcing Kansas to take action, as it had in the past. An inmate had filed a federal lawsuit in 1977 that led to a scathing report on conditions in state prisons a decade later, prompting federal court orders for the early release of prisoners. The prison system was almost 60 percent above capacity at the time. Facing yet more potential releases, legislators approved construction of the state’s maximum-security prison at El Dorado. Department of Corrections operations remained under federal court over-

I.C.A.R.E’s mission is “to build positive relationships between youth and older adults. The program was presented by Laurie McCauley with the Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) at Fort Riley. The Optimist Club supported the Special Needs Rodeo at EFMP’s most recent event by providing t-shirts for the children. Approximately 50 special needs children got to experience a horse and carriage ride driven by Ben Bennett from Munson’s Black Horse Hitch, ride a real horse led by the Rodeo Queens, experience roping a stationary mock steer, and many other rodeo type activities designed for children. Laurie also explained the Exceptional Family Member program at Fort Riley as a program that assists active duty and full-time National Guard Service members under Title 10 to ensure required medical, mental health and/or educational services are available to the family members. These family members may have special needs that limit their ability to function on a daily basis and/or requires ongoing counseling, training, education, therapy, treatment or care that requires a specialist even if it is only once a year. Laurie shared that the most common referrals are for those with asthma, Attention Deficit Disorder and/or behavioral issues,

Along with the soldiers who have lost their lives in Afghanistan and Iraq, Funk talked about more heroes, including everyday heroes. “As we gather together today I am awestruck by the memories and stories of those who dared greatly, rose to the challenge with-

He talked about character and resilience. “It is what drives the rest of the world to expect our heroes to always respond to the call of others less fortunate, and less capable,” he said. “We have done it since Washington put shoes on soldiers’ feet at Valley Forge ... for 238 years our nation has risen to every challenge with an intangible character not found anywhere else in the world.” Funk told stories of those heroes and their undeniable character.

Putin says American exceptionalism is ’dangerous’ Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Russian President Vladimir Putin is no fan of the idea of American exceptionalism. He suggests that God isn’t either. “It is extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional, whatever the motivation,” Putin wrote in an opinion piece posted Wednesday on the website of The New York Times. “There are big countries
and small countries, rich and poor, those with long democratic traditions and those still finding their way to democracy. Their policies differ, too,” he wrote. “We are all different, but when we ask for the Lord’s blessings, we must not forget that God created us equal.” Putin’s remarks concluded a plea to Americans for caution in dealing with Syria, a Russian ally. He cited President Barack
Tw e n t y - f o u r / S e v e n
Obama’s speech Tuesday night in which he asserted that American ideals and principles “are at stake in Syria” as he made his case for holding the Assad government accountable for a deadly chemical weapons attack near Damascus. “That’s what makes America different,” Obama said. “That’s what makes us exceptional. With humility, but with resolve, let us never lose sight of that essential truth.”

Pinkel says Kansas Missouri rivalry should resume
Missouri football coach Gary Pinkel says he would like to resume playing rival Kansas in the future, with the games played at Arrowhead Stadium. During a meeting Tuesday at The Kansas City Star, Pinkel suggested the game could be played in the first or second week of the season. The rivalry ended after Missouri moved from the Big 12 Conference to the Southeastern Conference in 2012. Missouri officials have generally favored resuming the rivalry in football and basketball, while Kansas officials have shown little interest. Pinkel says the game would make money for both schools and he would like the schools to bring the rivalry back for their fans.

Kansas City Royals’ Mike Moustakas hits an RBI-single off Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Matt Albers Wednesday in Cleveland.
CLEVELAND — The Kansas City Royals believe they are in the American League playoff chase to stay. They might start convincing others, too. The Royals gained ground in the wild card race on Wednesday with a 6-2 win over the Cleveland Indians. Kansas City took two of three in the series between clubs that are in contention for the second wild card spot in the AL. The Royals, who entered Wednesday trailing Tampa Bay by three games, moved a game closer to the Indians. Cleveland came in 1 1/2 games behind the Rays. “To come in here and win a series against a tough Cleveland team was huge for us,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “Especially considering where we are at this point of the

A post on the University of Alabama athletics Facebook page drew ire from fans for asking them to change their profile pictures to an image of late coach Bear Bryant’s houndstooth hat.
sports.beat@thedailyunion.net
The request was to celebrate what would have been Bryant’s 100th birthday Wednesday. Most of the hundreds of comments criticized the timing because it also marked the 12th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. One response stated it’s “not a good day to remember a football coach. We need to honor our fallen heroes.”
The post asked fans to change their pictures “to celebrate Coach Bryant’s life and legacy.”

Trial delayed again in slaying of Redskins’ Taylor
A trial has been delayed again for the man accused of shooting to death Washington Redskins star safety Sean Taylor. A Miami-Dade County courts spokeswoman said Tuesday the trial of 23-year-old Eric Rivera Jr. will not begin Monday because of scheduling conflicts and availability of witnesses. A new trial date will be set Monday. There have been numerous delays. Rivera and four others from the Fort Myers area were charged with killing Taylor in 2007 during a botched robbery at the player’s home near Miami. One suspect pleaded guilty to murder and burglary charges. Rivera and the others pleaded not guilty and are being tried separately. Each faces a possible life sentence if convicted. Before the NFL, Taylor starred at the University of Miami.

These guys know what it takes. They know how to win.” The Royals had a home run, a triple and a single within the game’s first seven pitches to take a 2-0 lead.

Pierre Cherubin (9) jumps into the air and puts his head on a corner kick, directing it towards goal against Highland Park at Al Simpler Stadium Wednesday.
For the first 20 minutes of the Junction City soccer team’s game against Highland Park, the home team’s attack kept it’s pace up, but the visiting Scots wouldn’t relent. But when Junction City junior forward Hever Gutierrez found the back of the net for the first goal of the game, the floodgates opened. The Blue Jay’s offense began piling on the goals en route to a 5-0 win at Al Simpler Stadium Wednesday night. “Our intensity just picked up,” junior forward Eric Artemis said. “They got tired, we didn’t.” Shortly after Gutierrez’s goal, Eric Artemis received a pass at his feet in the box with his back to the goal. He spun around to face up with the goal before putting a low shot into the left corner of the net for the Jay’s second score. All game long, Junction City put its decisive speed advantage on display. The locals launched run after run, hitting through balls to beat the defense and put pressure on the goal. Please see Soccer, 8B

Cowboys, Chiefs renewing rivalry at Arrowhead B y DAVE SKRETTA
Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — One of the first things Cowboys owner Jerry Jones did when he awoke Wednesday was to take a good look at the little wooden trophy topped by an odd street sign sitting among the many awards and memorabilia in his Dallas-area home. It’s called the “Preston Road Trophy,” dreamed up by his longtime friend and the late Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt, and named after the street on which they once lived just 300 yards apart. Ever since 1998, the tro-
phy has been presented to the winning side on the rare occasions that Dallas plays Kansas City — as is the case this Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. Jones has had the trophy since 2005, but the Hunt family had it the seven years prior to that. And ‘ol Lamar made sure to tweak Jones with it, too. “I was visiting with him and I said, ‘You know, it’s been so long since I’ve seen it. I wonder if I could come by and get it and kind of show it to some folks that I’m going to have over at my house,” Jones told The Associated Press. “And he
said, ‘You know, I’d be a little uneasy with that.’ He said, ‘I’ll set it up in the window. ... You can drive by and look at it.”’ It was all in good fun, though — the plaque on the front of the trophy even reads “Created in friendship.” And Jones always was happy to return the barbs anyway. One time, he recalled the Hunts being honored at Texas Stadium. The Cowboys had won back the trophy and Hunt asked if he could borrow it to show off Ed Zurga • The Associated Press at a dinner.

Chiefs Continued from Page 1B that I’m that comfortable with you — but his wife, Norma, I said, ‘I have a little trust in Norma, so I’m going to draw up an agreement and as long as Norma will have it back by midnight, have her sign it,”’ Jones said. “I prepared this elaborate legal agreement and they could pick it up earlier in the day and have it back by midnight.” Jones laughed as he finished the story, enjoying the fond memory of his friend. The curious rivalry between the Cowboys and Chiefs didn’t start with Jones and Hunt, but rather with the formation of the Texans during the heady days of the NFL and AFL. The Texans and Cowboys both played at the Cotton Bowl in the early 1960s, and Hunt once referred to their games as “a holy war” as the competed for the city’s sports fans. The Texans slowly became more popular as they began to win, but they eventually moved to Kansas City and became the Chiefs. Since 1970, the teams have only played nine times. “Now most of our rivals are in the AFC, especially in the AFC West,” said Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt, who took over the franchise when his father Lamar passed away in 2006. “If we have an NFC rival,” Hunt added quickly, “it would be the Cowboys.” The younger Hunt is just as passionate about winning back the Preston Road Trophy, too, even making sure Chiefs coach Andy Reid was aware of it after a season-opening win over Jacksonville. “It’s the smallest and ugliest trophy in sports,” Hunt told the AP, laughing. “Andy knows its importance. Coming from Philadelphia, he’s used to a rivalry with the Cowboys.” Indeed, Reid is well aware of the significance attached to the odd little trophy. “Clark’s very competitive. It doesn’t matter who we’re playing,” he said, “but I’m sure there’s probably that little extra bit. I think he and Jerry are very close, so they probably get up and needle each other when they have an oppor-

The Cowboys had just won the trophy, and Lamar decided that a board meeting was the right time to turn it over. “So he explained the trophy to the other members of the board and presented it because we had won it,” Jones said with a smile. “He presented it to me there at
that board meeting.” Jones compared the trophy to a birdhouse in the way it looks — rarely has it been seen in public. And it won’t accompany the Cowboys to Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, either. Jones prefers to turn it over to the Hunt family privately should the Cowboys lose. “I don’t think either one of us will be in the mood,” Jones said of a grand presentation. “I wouldn’t ask him to present the trophy again to me right after the game, and I wouldn’t be in the mood to present to him if the circumstances are reversed.”

MANHATTAN — Gerald Leonard remembers watching Daniel Sams perform on the high school fields along the Gulf Coast of Louisiana. There were times when the coach would stand back and simply marvel at his talented young star. Plays would break down and Sams would make something out of nothing. It was just like magic. “That’s a unique quality to have,” Leonard told The Associated Press this week. “The improvisation stuff that he was able to do on the field for us when things broke down and didn’t go as designed, they were a lot of times highlight roll material.” Sams only threw for 577 yards his senior year at Salmen High School near New Orleans, but he piled up more than 3,000 all-purpose yards while also playing wide receiver, running back, kick returner and, yes, even the punter. That got the attention of schools such as Oklahoma and LSU, many of which wanted him to play just about anything except quarterback. But when Kansas State coach Bill Snyder gave Sams a shot to play the game’s marquee position, he jumped at the opportunity. Now, Sams is the Wildcats’ leading rusher while coming off the bench in a two-QB system, and he’s making it hard for Snyder to keep him off the field headed into Saturday’s game against Massachusetts. “I’m just thinking about making the most of my opportunities,” Sams said. “If I’m successful, I’ll see my playing time increase.” Sams backed up Heisman Trophy finalist Collin Klein last season, and was in a heated race with junior college transfer Jake Waters to start this season. Waters
won out for an opening loss to North Dakota State and a 48-27 win over Louisiana-Lafayette last Saturday night, but with every hip-swiveling run, Sams is making his mark on the Wildcats. Snyder even compared him to another Heisman Trophy finalist, Michael Bishop, who had offers to play other positions coming out of junior college but chose the Wildcats to play quarterback. “It was kind of like sandlot football because they were talented, “Snyder said. “They could just go out and play the game and have success with it regardless of whether they were doing the right things or not. Their athletic ability made up for a lack of understanding of things. “That’s the way Michael came,” Snyder said, “and that’s the way Daniel came.” Sams showed off that elusiveness last season, when he ran for 235 yards as a backup. But he threw just eight passes all season, and questions remain about his passing ability. “Daniel has the ability to accurately distribute the football either down field or in a short controlled passing game,” Leonard said. “As he grows and improves on his reads in that offense, he has plenty of capabilities to be a great throwing quarterback.” In the meantime, the Wildcats are rolling with a two quarterback system. Waters is completing more than 70 percent of his passes for 279 yards per game, while Sams has run for 80 yards on just 10 carries — including two electrifying touchdown runs. “Jake is a good young quarterback and Daniel is a good young quarterback,” Snyder said. “You’ve got two guys who need to be on the field and we have to find ways or continue to find and cultivate ways in order to utilize both of them. I think it’s to our advantage to be able to do so as long as we do it the right way.”

Test for Klinsmann will be at the World Cup B y RONALD BLUM
backs and went to the old soccer method of changing numbers from game to game and assigning the starters Nos. 1-11 based on position. He wanted to encourage competition. “It’s a pretty good system. It’s the way it works in Europe, like nothing is yours forever,” goalkeeper Tim Howard said then. “I don’t think some of the younger guys quite get it.” Klinsmann’s methods seem more suited to the U.S. at times than to Germany, which has an entrenched soccer tradition and resistance to change. He was hired to coach Bayern Munich, one of his old clubs, in July 2008 but was fired the following April. Bayern President Uli Hoeness complained Klinsmann made the club purchase computers to develop PowerPoint presentations used to inform players of game strategy and compared him unfavorably with Jupp Heynckes, who led
Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — Jurgen Klinsmann sat on a podium and smiled after guiding the United States into its seventh straight World Cup. Not to minimize the accomplishment, but the former German star player and coach will be judged not on reaching soccer’s elite tournament, but on how well the United States performs in Brazil next year. “The team’s success, especially in official competitions and difficult games in Europe has been very good,” U.S. Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati said Wednesday, “but I think everyone understands that the World Cup is a different level.” Beating Mexico by the now traditional “dos a cero” score at Columbus Crew Stadium on Tuesday night, the Americans have now won four straight home qualifiers against El Tri by 2-0. Klinsmann helped Germany win the 1990 World Cup and the 1996 European Championship, then retired as a player two years later and moved to California with his American wife. He commuted from Orange County to Germany for a two-year stint as coach, leading his nation to the semifinals of the World Cup it hosted in 2006, then quit. Gulati recruited him later that year to succeed Bruce Arena but couldn’t reach an agreement on his authority. But after the U.S. played listlessly during the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup, Gulati ended Klinsmann’s five-year stretch as coach-in-waiting and hired him at a $2.5 million annual salary to replace Bob Bradley. Results have been impressive: 25 wins, nine losses and six ties, including the Americans’ first victory over fourtime world champion Italy, their triumph at Mexico City’s Azteca Stadium and their first Gold Cup title since 2007. He’s already fifth on the U.S. career wins list, trailing only Arena (71), Bradley (43), Bora Milutinovic (30) and Steve Sampson (26). “The best thing he’s done is created lots of competition, and so every time you step on the field you have to perform or you’re not going to step on the field the next time,” star attacker Landon Donovan said. “It’s not in a pressure way, but it’s in an accountability way.” In his first weeks, he stripped players’ names off jersey

the team to this year’s Champions League title. “With Heynckes, we win games for 12.50 (euros), while we spent a lot of money under Klinsmann and had little success,” Hoeness told the Donaukurier newspaper two years ago. Klinsmann hired Phoenix-based Athletes Performance, a company he worked with during his time with Germany and Bayern. The company develops training and nutritional plans for each player. And players’ time on the practice field lengthened considerably. “Maybe two years ago they wondered, ‘What is this all about? All this extra work, all this extra here, extra there.’ Now it’s just normal,” he said. “The players come in, they know there are double sessions waiting for them. The players know what we expect tactically. The players know that there’s another guy behind them in every position, that if he doesn’t give everything he has, the next one steps in and steals him his spot.” Players buy in, knowing the 49-year-old was a winner during 17 years with top-level clubs. After the U.S. opened the final round of qualifying with a loss at Honduras, Sporting News ran a story headlined “Klinsmann’s methods, leadership, acumen in question.” Eleven players and 11 others with ties to players or the national team — all unidentified — portrayed a team hampered by sniping and critical of Klinsmann’s tactics. Then the U.S. followed with a 4-0-1 streak in qualifying and a team-record 12-game winning streak this summer. “He’s a super positive guy. He never lets it show when the chips are down,” Howard said. “And I think we’ve answered the bell a bunch of times: Guatemala in Kansas City, the snow game (against Costa Rica in Colorado), when there was all this internal strife and we hated each other.” America spent 40 years in soccer’s wilderness, failing to reach the World Cup between 1950 and 1990. Now the nation is much more attuned to the world game, boosted by changes in technology that allow most top European matches to be available live on U.S. television and even mobile telephones. There would be an outcry if the U.S. failed to qualify for a World Cup. “I think now it’s expected of us,” Howard said, “but it’s never a guarantee.”

Dad’s cousin gives family medicine
Dear Annie: My dad’s cousin, “John,” is an internist from another state. During my younger sister’s wedding weekend, Dr. John stayed with us. Two days before the wedding, my sister was stressed and couldn’t sleep. John offered her Ambien. The pill was blue and in a blister pack. He gave her two, even though the label states you shouldn’t take them unless you can get six hours of sleep. My sister absolutely didn’t have time for that. I have a prescription for Ambien, and it’s white. I have no idea what John gave my sister. At the hairdresser’s the next day, she was totally zoned out. Isn’t it wrong for physicians to dispense such medications without a prescription? There have been several incidents in the past where John has given prescription medications to my family members without seeing them. He once sent my dad expired ointments for a rash that turned out to be shingles. When my mother had pneumonia, he told her to take flu medication. He didn’t examine them, nor did he write a prescription. What do you think I should do? — Furious and Concerned Dear Furious: First of all, Ambien can come in different colors, depending on the dosage. We assume these are sample drugs that John happens to have handy. The real issue is that your family is eager to take advantage of John’s ability to provide such medication for free and without needing to see their regular physician. They have the option not to follow his advice or take what he offers, but they prefer the convenience. Dear Annie: You’ve printed letters about theater and concert patrons who stand up or squash you in your seat. I have a better one. I sat in the worst seat on Broadway. I understand “obstructed view.” This was NO view. I was in the front row. All I could see was a staircase and the backs of actors who were seated in chairs on stage. I was brokenhearted. I found an usher at intermission and demanded to be seated elsewhere. She told me this is what happens when you buy discount tickets at the

last minute. But she took me to the last row of the theater and said, “This way you can see the terrific part with the mirror.” I gasped, “There’s a mirror?!” The second act was great, although I had to ask the people next to me to stop texting during the performance. Afterward, I found the usher and thanked her. Then I wrote the box office manager and the theater owners and asked that they please stop selling this seat. I haven’t heard back. — Don’t Stick a Broadway Baby in a Corner Dear Baby: Most theaters have at least one horrible seat, but it’s hard to know that when you purchase at the last minute, especially when those tickets are discounted. There’s a reason those are the seats that are left. Good for you for speaking up and finding a kind usher willing (and able) to seat you elsewhere. Dear Annie: “Still Waiting” complained that few people reciprocate dinner invitations anymore. Since moving to an active senior community two years ago, my husband and I have hosted about 18 dinners in our home, everything from casual suppers to large parties. Reciprocation in these friends’ homes has been rare, but we don’t care. We’ve enjoyed every one of the meals. We don’t have special cooking skills, and hosting a dinner takes time and effort, but it’s fun and has the added advantage of cozy chats that don’t happen in a noisy restaurant. — W.

Horoscope ARIES (March 21—April 19). Everything has its time. The object that is coveted, revered and utterly reflective of this moment will lose value after this moment has passed. It’s something to think about before you take out your wallet. TAURUS (April 20—May 20). Your cells regenerate, and your spirit restores. It’s like you’re becoming younger with every hour today, and you don’t have to make any kind of effort to do so. You’re naturally optimistic. GEMINI (May 21—June 21). People who aren’t sure whether they can help you or not will be reserved until they determine exactly how they can be of service. Make it easy. Talk about what will move you forward. CANCER (June 22—July 22). Your weaknesses are offset by your considerable strengths. But just think about what you could do in a partnership with someone who is strong in the areas where you are weak. Seek collaboration. LEO (July 23—Aug. 22). Giving is not always a sacrifice. Being generous has a way of exhilarating you, especially when you see the difference your contributions make in the lives of others. VIRGO (Aug. 23—Sept. 22). Strip away some of what you were taught. It’s not that the lessons were wrong or inferior; it’s just that they were given to you from someone else’s experience. Work from your own experience instead.
The Daily Union. Thursday, Sept. 12, 2013
LIBRA (Sept. 23—Oct. 23). No one can give you more time, but people can sure help you waste the time you have. Actively guard against distractions. Anticipate what could happen to knock you off your game, and prepare a defense. SCORPIO (Oct. 24—Nov. 21). You’ll be working by yourself. This scenario makes it challenging to know how you compare to others in the marketplace. Ask both insiders and outsiders their opinion. Get another point of view. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22—Dec. 21). If you follow your whimsy, it might be considered lollygagging. It might also lead to enormous joy. If you have fun with what you’re doing, you’ll find success. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22—Jan. 19). You don’t want to put your signature on your work; you want your work to be your signature. When people can tell it’s your work by the work itself, you’ll have reached the level of originality you desire. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20—Feb. 18). Love is a bit of an obstacle course these days, and you may find yourself tunneling under or scaling over enormous barriers to emotional intimacy. It makes jumping through the hoops seem like child’s play. PISCES (Feb. 19—March 20). Lie detectors are designed on the premise that dishonesty causes bodily stress. You’ll take some of the pressure off by getting rid of the expectation or rule that is keeping people from telling the truth.

SPORTS Soccer Continued from Page 1B It was an advantage the team didn’t realize it would have until after the first whistle blew. “To be honest that’s a thing our guys figured out,” Junction City coach Drew Proctor said. “And that’s one thing that was different this year than last year is we’re getting smarter. We have the ability to adapt. And that’s good because we struggled a little bit last year with our ability to adapt in the game. With soccer, you can only coach at halftime and there’s only so much you can say from the sideline.” Once the team realized its advantage, junior striker Pierre Cherubin took over the game. In the 34th minute, he aggressively attacked a Highland Park defender who recovered the ball in his own box. After quickly taking back possession, Cherubin took one touch to switch the ball from his right foot to his left, creating space between himself and the defender. Then, with his off, left foot, He sent the
ball sailing past the keeper into the upper left corner of the net. “He had the ball, but I wanted the ball so bad so I put my foot on it,” Cherubin said. “Then I was going to shoot and he put his feet there so I switched it and I just kicked it. And I was surprised it went in. I was like ‘Oh my!” Cherubin’s day wasn’t finished. Three minutes later, Artemis sent the ball across the box to an open Cherubin who buried it for the goal as halftime approached. Cherubin, who finished the night with two goals and two assists, then put the game on ice when he beat the last defender early in the second half. With just the keeper to beat, he saw Gutierrez streaking down the left and crisply sent the ball on the turf to him. The Highland Park goalkeeper was caught out of position and Gutierrez finished it for the easy goal. “(Cherubin) had opportunities to finish all last week and the one thing he was doing wrong was once he beat a defender, he’d try to beat another defender and basically just dribble the ball in,” Proctor said. “And we talked about it yesterday, with either shooting too early or dribbling the
ball when he had an open shot. And today, he figured out.” With the game firmly in the Blue Jays’ hands, Proctor was able to make some subs to get some of his younger, lesser-used players on the field. He pulled keeper Amir McFarthing and then put him at forward. The athletic McFarthing almost knocked one in himself.
The Blue Jays (2-4) travel to Leavenworth Saturday for their next game. “We’re still doing well, still getting better, but we’re struggling a little bit with consistency,” Proctor said. “I think if we can be more consistent we’d be even better. And if we can play like we did yesterday with the attack we did today, we would be over .500, I guarantee it. But it’s figuring those things out and being consistent that will make us better.”
Emporia tops Junction City 3-0

Eric Artemis puts a shot on goal against Highland Park Wednesday at Al Simpler Stadium.
T:6.75"
The Junction City soccer team gave one of its best performances of the season Tuesday at Emporia. But late in the first half, an Emporia forward found some space turned and put a good shot on net to score the first goal of the game. Trailing in the second half, Junction City switched to a 3-4-3 offense to apply more pressure and build a stronger attack. This move also left the back line vulnerable, as it meant they had to play three-onthree. Emporia scored twice more to close out the game with a 3-0 win.

two hits, and hit a batter in the bottom half before he took control. Michael Brantley had a two-run single in the first, but Shields didn’t allow another hit until Jason Kipnis’ leadoff single in the ninth. He retired 16 of 17 going into the ninth, but was removed after allowing singles to Kipnis and Carlos Santana. Shields allowed four hits, struck out seven and walked one. Greg Holland retired the last three hitters for his 42nd save. Gordon jumped on a 90 mph fastball from Scott Kazmir (8-8) and lined it into the seats in right field for his 13th career leadoff homer. “It’s not my first rodeo, so I’ve done it before,” Gordon said. “Sometimes y ou’ve just got to mix it up, especially with Kazmir with his electric stuff.” “He said he was going to do it,” Yost said. “He picks his spots.” Eric Hosmer and Lorenzo Cain added RBI singles. The Indians won the first game of the series and finished 5-4 on their homestand, but failed to gain ground in the playoff chase for the second straight day. Cleveland will begin a seven-game trip in Chicago on Thursday. The Indians and Royals meet again in Kansas City next week for a three-game series. “They’re a good team,” Indians manager Terry Francona said. “They’re right where we are. They’re a real good team.” Kansas City went 26-18 in a stretch of 44 games in 44 days. Emilio Bonifacio followed Gordon’s homer with a triple, and Hosmer singled to center to make it 2-0. Kazmir retired the next two hitters, but Justin Maxwell singled, and Cain lined a single to center for the third run. Shields also struggled in the first. Michael Bourn walked and Mike Aviles was hit by a pitch. The runners moved up on a groundout,
and Brantley singled to center with two outs. Shields got the start following his shortest outing of the season, a start against Detroit on Friday in which he matched career worsts by allowing 10 runs and 14 hits in 3 2-3 innings in a 16-2 loss. He bounced back Wednesday and improved to 2-5 in 13 career starts against Cleveland. After the first, Shields pitched like the ace the Royals envisioned he would be when they acquired him from the Rays for outfielder Wil Myers, one of baseball’s top prospects. The right-hander leads the AL with 207 2-3 innings pitched. “James comes off his arguably worst start of the year and has arguably his best start of the year,” Yost said. “He just put us on his back today and carried us.” Shields’ biggest problem came with his own defense when he made two errors in the third. He dropped a throw from Hosmer at first base, allowing Kipnis to reach safely. He then threw wildly to first trying to pick off Kipnis, but retired Santana to end the inning. Kazmir allowed four runs and nine hits in four innings. He struck out a season-high 12 over six scoreless innings in an 8-1 victory over the New York Mets in his last outing. NOTES: The Royals will skip LHP Danny Duffy’s next start, which was scheduled to be Friday in Detroit. LHP Bruce Chen will pitch that game instead. Right-handers Ervin Santana and Jeremy Guthrie will pitch Saturday and Sunday, respectively. ... Indians 1B Nick Swisher wasn’t in the lineup. He is batting .167 (8 for 48) with 15 strikeouts against Shields, including three hits in his last 25 atbats. ... SS Asdrubal Cabrera, in a 3-for-27 slump, was also out of the lineup. He pinch-hit in the ninth and struck out. ... Kansas City’s off day on Thursday is its first since Aug. 19. ... Indians RHP Corey Kluber (8-5) faces LHP John Danks (4-12) in the series opener against the White Sox.
