city.beat@thedailyunion.net City manager finalist Gerald Smith has turned down a position from an Ohio town reportedly because Junction City has made him a better offer. Smith is one of four finalists vying to fill the Junction City manager position that’s been vacant since Gerry Vernon resigned in May to accept a similar job in Mission. On Thursday, The Intelligencer C ecil (Wheeling, W.V.) A ska reported Smith turned down the city manager position offered by Steubenville, Ohio, because Junction City offered Smith a better benefits package. Steubenville Councilman Greg Metcalf told The Intelligencer that Junction City and Smith “are still negotiating the details of the full offer, but Mr. Smith said he was going to accept the Kansas offer.” On Thursday, Junction City Mayor Cecil Aska confirmed the commission is considering Smith as one of two frontrunners for the position. “We have had some conversation with him,” Aska said. “At this point, I haven’t heard anything back.” Aska added the Austin Peters Group, the search firm hired by the city, still is working to finalize some information.

A new plaza for the historic water wheel at Rock Springs 4-H Center is one of the upcoming projects for the Kansas 4-H Foundation’s campaign project.

uring the weekend, Mel Borst begins his bicycle journey by pedaling up J Hill Road. His destination is the Rock Springs 4-H Center’s Water Wheel Ranch House and the peaceful sound of a flowing stream. When he stands near the house, Borst can feel the cool breeze from the water and turning wheel. In the near future, that may no longer exist. It’s something Borst ponders about during his ride. “I’m an advocate for saving the Ranch House for current and future generations to enjoy,” Borst said. “It would be a great loss. It’s a tangible piece

built in the 1870. The purpose of the upcoming Water Wheel Plaza project is to create a gathering place to allow campers and visitors to interact with the water through educational programming and play. But for Rock Springs officials, the house is preventing them from doing that. Foundation President Gordon Hibbard said the structure is deteriorating due to damage from water and currently has no purpose. “We think there is a bigger story to tell with natural history, Native American history and the highlights of the geographical history,” Hibbard said. “It’ll be like an outdoor classroom so people can appreciate the natu-

of history by so many generations.” With its stone foundation and rustic porch, the white painted house sits near an active water wheel. Although the house was used for many purposes over the years, it’s currently uninhabitable. The Kansas 4-H Foundation, which oversees Rock Springs, has plans to demolish the house for other educational and recreational purposes. It’s a part of their $10 million Growing Kansas Leaders Campaign to improve facilities and other projects. Foundation officials want to replace the house with more attractions associated with the spring and the 20-foot water wheel, which was

ral phenomenon of the spring.” When it comes to keeping the Ranch House, others have the same sentiments as Borst. A Facebook page was established to save the house. It currently has 27 likes. “I appreciate the concern Mel has for it,” Hibbard said. “It’s just one of those things that just isn’t going to work.” If the foundation wanted to restore the house, it would cost $500,000. But Borst and other advocates believe it would cost about $240,000. As the operator of Borst Restoration, he would like to offer his services on a volunteer basis. “I would be happy to help any Please see Ranch, 9A

Protest at Dillons not really about Dillons

Not quite what it seems

Tim Weideman • The Daily Union

Protesters hold a sign that says “Shame on Dillions.” The labor dispute is not quite what it seems.

We’re social

People driving past Dillons on West Sixth Street this week may have noticed several people standing next to a sign with the words “Shame on Dillons” and “labor dispute” printed in large, block letters. With interest piqued, The Daily Union earlier this week approached the protestors — at that time two men and a woman — to ask questions about their “labor dispute.” Without saying a word, one of the men pointed to the woman, nonverbally designating her as the official spokesperson for the group. However, the woman wouldn’t answer any questions, either. She handed out a sheet of paper that, like the sign they were standing next to, boldly stated, “Shame on Dillons.” The flyer stated Carpenters Local 918, a chapter of The United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners out of Manhattan, is protesting outside Dillons because The Law Company, the general contractor for the store’s remodeling project, has subcontracted with Drywall Systems. As a Dillons’ spokesperson pointed

out on Thursday, Drywall Systems is the main target of the protest, not Dillons. The flyer states Drywall Systems doesn’t “meet area labor standards for all their carpenter craft workers, including fully paying for family health benefits and pension. On Friday, Scott Ludwick, the director of operations for the company’s Wichita office, said that’s not true. “We have a very good benefits package for our employees, something we’re very proud of,” he said. “We’ve always prided ourselves on taking care of their (employees’) families.” Ludwick added Drywall Systems is a nonunion company. These protests are nothing new, Ludwick said. Several online news reports, especially in the Wichita area, show carpenters unions repeatedly have protested customers who hire Drywall Systems, including Wichita State University in 2012 and a Lawrence Dillons in 2008. Drywall Systems isn’t the only company the unions have protested. Other companies’ protested projects include a Wichita church in 2012 and the Derby Please see Dillons, 9A

The Region No. 4 National Crown Victoria Association was in the Junction City area yesterday and today with their 1954 to 1956 Crown Victorias. Some of those with these collector cars came from as far as Colorado, Arkansas and Oklahoma. This 1956 ‘Ute” also known as a utility pickup is an especially rare vehicle. They were only built in Australia. Salina’s Melvin Bergkamp is the owner of this one. He called it ‘unique and different.’ Jim Gattis drove his 1956 all the way from Arkansas and was taking a look at the engine to make sure all was good upon arriving in JC Friday afternoon. He said he had just driven 500 miles and was checking things out. Attendees also came from as close as Junction City and Manhattan. On Friday afternoon, they had just visited Abilene. On Saturday, they were headed to Fort Riley for a tour of the post.

Writing Your Family History

Special to The Daily Union Known together as The BBQ Queens, fun-loving culinarians and friends Karen Adler and Judith Fertig have a lot of fun with a topic they take seriously — barbecue. They’re spreading the word about slow-smoked barbecue and hot-and-fast grilling throughout the country via magazine and newspaper articles, cooking c l a s s e s, t e l ev i sion and radio guest appearances and special events. The BBQ Queens will demonstrate their talents onstage at the C.L. Hoover Opera House at 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 22. This unique event, “BBQ Queens: Top 10 Secrets of Barbecue” is sponsored by the Dorothy Bramlage Public Library as part of their Frank Talk lecture series. The BBQ Queens will prepare 10 different recipes and invite audience members to assist and taste their creations. At intermission, everyone will be able to sample one of the BBQ Queens’ signature dishes. From a simple gas or charcoal grill to a stainless steel outdoor kitchen and everything in between, Karen and Judith show how grilling is done without chipping a manicured fingernail. As culinary instructors they’ve taught more than 75,000 students, but still get a thrill out of encouraging someone to try cooking something new in the kitchen or outside on the grill. Between them, they have authored more than 20 cookbooks, nine of which focus on the subject of barbecue and grilling. Some of those include “Fish & Shellfish, Grilled & Smoked,” “The BBQ Queens’ Big Book of Barbecue,” and “Weeknight Grilling with the Barbecue Queens.” Both women are members of the prestigious culinary organizations Les Dames d’Escoffier and the International Association of Culinary Professionals. As grilling and smoking experts with a broad appeal, they’ve written for and appeared in magazines including Food & Wine; Better Homes and Gardens; Country Home; and Midwest Living. Judith is a former columnist for the

Beefing up security Infant dies, couple arrested C hase Jordan

c.jordan@thedailyunion.net GRANDVIEW PLAZA — The police department is working to beef up security for the office located on State Street. During a Tuesday evening board meeting, the council approved more than $12,000 in improvements for the area. The funds will be used for a new secured door and a surveillance system to monitor the entrance of the department and portions of city hall. Police Chief Shawn Pierano called it a proactive approach. “With the recent attacks on officers, we want to make sure officers are safe doing their jobs,” Pierano said. “We want to ensure they’re safe coming in and out of

the building.” The upgrade will allow officers to see who’s coming to the door and the parking lot of the community building.

Nintendo’s Yamauchi dies at 85 Associated Press TOKYO — Hiroshi Yamauchi, who ran Nintendo for more than 50 years and led the Japanese company’s transition from traditional playing-card maker to video game giant, has died. He was 85. Kyoto-based Nintendo said Yamauchi, who was also known for owning the Seattle Mariners major league baseball club, died Thursday of pneumonia at a hospital in central Japan. Yamauchi was Nintendo president from 1949 to 2002, and engineered the company’s global growth, including developing the early Family Computer consoles and Game Boy portables. Nintendo, which makes Super Mario and Pokemon games as well as the Wii U home console, was founded in 1889. Reputed as a visionary and among the richest men in Japan, Yamauchi made key moves such as employing the talents of

NEWS TO KNOW

Kansas voter rule hits unaffiliated TOPEKA — A majority of the prospective Kansas voters whose registrations were put on hold after the state began enforcing a proof-of-citizenship law — preventing them from legally casting ballots — claim no political affiliation, an Associated Press computer analysis shows. The computer analysis shows that 57 percent of the registrations put on hold since the law took effect in January were from people listing themselves as unaffiliated, even though such residents make up only 30 percent of the state’s 1.7 million registered voters. Thousands of Kansas residents have registrations on hold because they have yet to provide a birth certificate, passport or other document proving U.S. citizenship. Election officials accept people’s forms without those papers, but until people produce them, any ballots they cast at the polls would be set aside and not counted. The analysis of data from the Kansas secretary of state’s office also discloses that since the rule took effect, flawed or incomplete registrations have remained on hold on average for close to four months. Through an open records request, AP obtained an electronic copy of the statewide list of voter registrations on hold as of Aug. 28, containing about 16,300 entries. While the secretary of state’s office declined to disclose the reasons for each individual’s inclusion on the list, it confirmed that the vast majority were there because they’d not yet complied with the proofof-citizenship rule. Nearly 45 percent of all registered voters are Republicans, but GOP-affiliated residents accounted for only 23 percent of the registrations on hold. Democrats accounted for 18 percent of the registrations in limbo, but they’re almost 25 percent of registered voters. Election officials in multiple counties have reported relatively little success in getting people whose registrations are on hold to provide citizenship documents after the fact. Some worry that election offices will face a rush of people with citizenship papers close to the state’s August 2014 primary and its November 2014 general election. “Sometimes, people don’t do things until they’re up on the deadline,” Geary County Clerk Rebecca Bossemeyer, a Republican, said Friday. “I think that we will be seeing more administrative issues.” Republican Secretary of State Kris Kobach championed the proof-of-citizenship law as a way to prevent non-citizens — particularly those in the U.S. illegally — from voting, and he has said the state had at least 15 non-citizens registered at

Shigeru Miyamoto, a global star of game design and the brainchild of Nintendo hits such as Super Mario and Donkey Kong. A dropout of the prestigious Waseda University in Tokyo, Yamauchi’s raspy voice and tendency to speak informally in his native Kyoto dialect was a kind of disarming spontaneity rare among Japanese executives. Yamauchi had little interest in baseball, but was approached to buy the Mariners, who may have had to move out of Washington state where Nintendo of America Inc. was headquartered to Florida without a new backer. The acquisition in 1992 made the Seattle club the first in the major leagues to have foreign ownership. “Hiroshi Yamauchi is the reason that Seattle has the Mariners,” then-Sen. Slade Gorton said Thursday from his home in Bellevue, Wash. “When no one else would stand up and purchase them and they were about to leave to go to Florida, he did, simply as a civic gesture.”

the end of 2012. The secretary of state’s office says more than 80 percent of the people whose registrations are on hold for failing to meeting the proof-of-citizenship requirement filled out registration forms at a driver’s license office. Federal law requires states to allow voter registration at such offices, and Kobach contends the result is potentially thousands of “casual” registrants who don’t really intend to vote.

“Our children only grow up once. They only get one chance to get a good education,” Jindal said. Louisiana’s school voucher program has become a political flashpoint, with congressional Republicans this week joining critics of the Justice Department’s lawsuit, which seeks to block Louisiana from issuing new tuition vouchers in some districts still under desegregation orders. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, a Republican who has championed educa-

tion reform efforts, joined Jindal in demanding the Justice Department back down. “This is purely political,” said Bush, the son or brother to two U.S. presidents who is being urged to run in 2016. “I have no idea why they made this decision.” About 8,000 Louisiana students are attending private or parochial schools through the voucher program, costing the state an estimated $45 million this budget year.

Louisiana governor demands feds drop suit against state

September 22, 2012

We became one… Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Alexander Bowers Jr.

WASHINGTON — Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal on Wednesday demanded that federal officials abandon their challenge of his state’s voucher system, accusing the Justice Department of being more interested in doing favors for teacher unions than helping students, In an appearance blocks from the Justice Department that was just as much about politics as policy, Jindal said President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder would not send their children to failing schools but are fighting against a program that helps students from low-income families attend better schools. Jindal, a Republican considering a 2016 presidential bid, said Obama and Holder are denying students in his state the same opportunities their own children enjoy.

From the Editor’s desk

Casino good for JC

few weeks ago, about 60 people met in the Walmart parking lot early on a Sunday morning and hopped on a bus. As part of a JC Breakfast Optimist Club fundraiser, we were all headed for several hours of fun at Prairie Band Casino and a few of us were headed to the golf course there. What I didn’t realize at the time was that another bus also took more people from Junction City on the same day to the same place. That bus trip is a regular occurrence. So that started me thinking ... on a weekend, we have people from this area leaving to spend their money and enjoy themselves elsewhere, at an entertainment facility more than an hour away. This past week, when people around Junction City, including our state representative, talked about the possibility of allowing a casino, it’s difficult to not become excited about that. After living in a tourist area for nearly 20 years before coming here, it is difficult to imagine a city not wanting a draw of people and money to the community the way a casino would. Junction City seems like the perL isa fect spot for a facility like this. We S eiser have the land here. We are located right off of I-70 for easy access and visibility. We also have other activities — Milford Lake, Fort Riley, the Opera House, all the statues and parks — to see during the time when people want to do something other than hang around in the casino. According to www.americangaming.org, the Kansas City area is ranked 11 in U.S. casino markets based on annual revenue. For KC, that annual gross revenue for 2012 was nearly $800 million. Just for comparison purposes, Las Vegas’ gross revenues are more than $6.2 billion. A casino would bring jobs to this area, outside people and their money, more hotel room tax revenue and other additional tax revenues that are generated from the additional people here. Not to mention, it is likely we would keep some more of that money in the city that now is leaving regularly on weekends. There is little doubt, a casino facility can bring some problems — people spending money they don’t have on gambling and the possibility of additional crime in the area. But the financial benefits can outweigh the concerns that can only be controlled by individuallyresponsible gaming and policing matters. A casino could be exactly what Junction City needs to jump start an economic and development boom. It’s time to make those in Topeka and across the state know that allowing the possibility of a casino here in Junction City could be the start of something big for the Flint Hills and central Kansas areas.

Letter to the Editor Great memories

To the Editor:

e held our reunion Sept. 13, 14 and 15 in Junction City. We had meetings at the hotel Marriott, also had our dinner on Saturday, Sept. 15 at the C.L. Hoover Opera House and also attended the musical “Annie,” which was one of the highlights of our weekend. Our classmates were impressed with the Opera House and the services they provide. We have a lot of history in that old Colonial Theater building. They were also impressed how the town had grown. The Chamber of Commerce bent over backwards to help us. We are proud of our hometown. Our special honored guests for the weekend were two of our last living teachers, Patricia (Platt) Montgomery, the typing teacher, and her husband, John Montgomery, a coach. We will be meeting again in three years for our 68th reunion. We are getting older and thought we should meet every three years. Sincerely,

Tom Holder Chairman, Class of 1953, 60th reunion Manhattan

No restraints W e live in a vicious world. It took about one hour before the Russians started gloating about the Washington Navy Yard massacre. Alexei Pushkov, chairman of a foreign affairs committee in the Russian parliament, tweeted: “A new shootout at Navy headquarters in Washington — a lone gunman. ... Nobody’s even surprised anymore. A clear confirmation of American exceptionalism.” The last paragraph of Vladimir Putin’s New York Times op-ed from last week claimed there is no such thing as “American exceptionalism.” Russia remains a bad country, full of internal corruption and, in its foreign policy, supportive of the worst elements on Earth. Folks like the Syrian tyrant Bashar al-Assad and the murderous mullahs in Iran can expect the full cooperation of Russia along with all the arms they can buy. Outrageous? You bet. But the sad truth is that the United States has largely lost the moral authority to call Russia out, and the world knows it. Much of America’s problem lies within. We are living in a narcissistic age in which millions of folks have withdrawn from life as we used to know it and have fabricated a false world for themselves on the Internet. Instead of experiencing life in its many natural forms, folks are now rejecting

Bill O’reilly Commentary face-to-face social interaction, preferring to spend their time on machines. According to his friends, the Navy Yard killer, 34-year-old Aaron Alexis, spent almost every night playing violent video games, isolating himself from reality. Then he apparently snapped. It will happen again. With its emphasis on abundance, the United States has become a target of intense jealousy from all over the world. Even poor Americans have conveniences many people overseas will never have. A recent study by the Census Bureau says the poorest Americans have color TVs, air conditioners, computers, cell phones — almost every modern convenience. Poverty is a serious situation, and I don’t mean to belittle it, but here in the USA, the poor are better off than in most other places on the planet, proving that democracy and capitalism do work. But you’ll never convince the antiAmerican people of that. And they will

seize any excuse to diminish this country. We the people are giving our foes tons of ammunition, so to speak. We continue to be a violent society, with much of the carnage fueled by angry young men who lacked a father while growing up. The only solution to the violence problem in America is a return to traditional parental involvement. Every elected official should encourage this. Also, the abandonment and neglect of children by their parents should have civil consequences. Who exactly is looking out for children who are ignored? The answer right now: No one. America remains a great country, a place where most people have a decent chance at a successful life if they’re honest and work hard. But we have lost our way when it comes to family matters. The bullets prove it.

Reasonable laws could curb shootings L ast week’s horror at the Washington Navy Yard barely interrupted the stale political chatter, the dueling poll-tested messages, the sensational reports on the latest celebrity divorce or stint in rehab. While the newest mass shooting did preoccupy reporters for a couple of days, its import — at least judged in headlines and cable hours — quickly faded. It was just another day of horrifying gun violence in America. The public has grown inured to the death toll, complacent about the destruction. If 20 dead babies at Sandy Hook didn’t move us to act, well, what will? When will the United States recover from this insanity — this sense that we cannot or should not rein in guns? The “rampage” shooting has become a feature of contemporary culture, a peculiarly American perversion. It occurs in a few other countries, but not with the frequency with which it strikes here. This sort of crime — this kind of atrocity — generally stars an angry and deranged man determined to take out his wrath on strangers before going out in a blaze of glory. And there has been a troubling uptick in bloodbaths like this over the last decade. The gun lobby would no doubt point out that, overall, gun violence has declined over the last several years. That’s true. As crime of all kinds has decreased, so have murders and assaults with firearms. But the “rampage” mass shooting has become more deadly even as more routine gun violence, the sort associated with monetary gain or personal revenge, has decreased. Earlier this year, the Congressional

cynthia tucker Commentary Research Service issued a report, “Public Mass Shootings in the United States,” that catalogued 78 mass shootings between 1983 and 2012. They accounted for 547 deaths and an additional 476 injuries. The Washington Post has pointed out that half of the deadliest of those — Virginia Tech, Aurora, Sandy Hook, Binghamton, Fort Hood and the Navy Yard — have occurred since 2007. Experts have begun to focus, appropriately, on missed signals about the mental state of accused shooter Aaron Alexis, who told Rhode Island police officers that he was hearing voices. Certainly, the United States needs to do much better in providing mental health care to every citizen who needs it. But it would be much more practical to focus on reining in guns. As any therapist would tell you, it’s very difficult to predict which patients may turn to violence. Alexis reportedly saw doctors at the Veterans Administration, but he told them he didn’t present a danger to anyone. Sensible firearms measures would fill in the gap that our mental health system can’t straddle. Such limits would curb the bloodshed without infringing on the rights of any citizen who wants to hunt wild game or defend his home. Shouldn’t it be at least as dif-

ficult to get a firearm as it is for me to get a prescription for a sinus infection? Take the simple matter of a waiting period. Alexis apparently purchased his pump-action shotgun two days before the massacre. With a few more days, various law enforcement and military entities may have pieced together his arrests for firearms violations and a report of his auditory hallucinations, which was apparently forwarded to naval authorities. Other sensible measures — including a ban on high-capacity magazines — might not have deterred Alexis, but they would have curbed the violence from other shootings. And they would not infringe on the rights of the average gun owner. The Second Amendment does not espouse unlimited freedom to own the most dangerous firearms on the market. Is the mass shooter the biggest crime problem remaining in America? By no means. But gun deaths are still a huge public health concern. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. will see more deaths from firearms than from car accidents by 2015. Since the 1960s, we’ve made a series of law and policy changes that have reduced the carnage on our highways. We’ve done the opposite with firearms as various states have approved laws allowing guns in bars, parks and even churches. That’s a recipe for more bloody rampages.

KU professor takes heat over Twitter comment

Kansas Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce, R-Hutchinson, said Thursday he was “appalled” by the tweet and called for the university to remove from Guth from the faculty. “Wishing death and damnation upon parents and their children is reprehensible and not befitting an employee of such a distinguished university,” Bruce said in an emailed statement. Rep. Brett Hildabrand, a Shawnee Republican, urged via Twitter that the university to take “appropriate action” against Guth. Bruce has received $2,500 in campaign contributions from the NRA since 2004, including $750 in 2012,

according to the online database maintained by the state Governmental Ethics Commission. Hildabrand received a $500 contribution last year from the Kansas State Rifle Association.

WICHITA — A University of Kansas journalism professor was placed on indefinite administrative leave Friday for a tweet he wrote about the Navy Yard shootings which said, “blood is on the hands of the (hash)NRA. Next time, let it be YOUR sons and daughters.” David W. Guth, an associate professor of journalism, made the comment on Twitter after Monday’s shootings in Washington, D.C., in which 13 people died, including the gunman. The tweet didn’t attract much attention until Campus Reform.org posted a story Thursday, sparking a social media backlash that’s spilled over into some state lawmakers calling for his dismissal. The university also responded, as Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little issued a statement Friday saying that “in order to prevent disruptions to the learning environment,” Guth was placed on indefinite administrative leave pending a review. His classes will be taught by other faculty members. Guth, who on Thursday told The Associated Press in a phone interview that his tweet “got a conversation going — that was exactly what I wanted to do,” agreed Friday that the university’s action was appropriate in light of email threats he and others at the university had received. “It is in the best interests and peace of mind of our students that I remove myself from the situation and let cooler heads prevail,” Guth wrote. “I know what I meant. Unfortunately, this is a topic that generates more heat than light.” He may have gotten more than he bargained for, however.

The new building will be three stories high and will include social lounges, study areas, large TV viewing areas and laundry facilities in each wing of the hall. Beverly Temaat, dean of student services, says the decision to build the new structure came from

increased housing demand as well as demand for newer facilities. The building will be entirely paid with money from student fees.

Longtime friend calls to have phone sex with husband’s wife Dear Annie: My wife of 50 years told me that a longtime friend has called her twice trying to have phone sex. I exploded! She told me not to say anything because it would ruin our friendship with this couple. I confronted him anyway and told him he disrespected my wife, me and all women in general. He did not deny what he had done. Frankly, I can’t blame him too much, considering his wife of 50 years. Still, as far as I’m concerned, he totally crossed the line, and our friendship is over. My wife, however, continues to associate with both of them. What do you think? — Mad in the Bluegrass Dear Mad: We think you threw out quite a zinger about the man’s wife. We don’t care what she is like. It doesn’t justify his hitting on another woman, especially one who is married to a good friend. That’s a double betrayal. We will give him one possible excuse, however. If he’s been married for 50 years, he is probably in his 70s or older, and it’s possible he is displaying early signs of dementia, which include loss of inhibition and personality changes. Please suggest he see his doctor for a checkup. As long as your wife has no interest in this fellow and wants to remain friends with his wife, it’s probably OK. If you notice changes in that direction, however, don’t hesitate to address it. Dear Annie: I’d like to add my two cents about whether parents treat their children the same. Mom, Sis and I live equidistant from one another. Sis still lives near the place where we grew up. Mom moved to a warmer climate. We call each other every weekend to catch up and stay in touch. Sis and I fly to visit Mom about once a year. Mom visits Sis and her family a few times a year. But despite the many invitations I have extended, she will not visit me. When I had heart surgery five years ago, Mom did not come. When I was hospitalized for pancreatitis, Mom did not come. Of the 25 stage plays I’ve appeared in, Mom came to see exactly one. She will never see the home my wife and I remodeled. It seems the things that are important to me don’t matter much to her. I suppose there is a cer-

tain amount of validity in her excuse that there’s nothing that interests her in my city, but when we visit our son and his family, we don’t care whether there is anything to do. We are simply glad to be with them. Does Mom love me? Certainly. Does she love me as much as my sister? Probably. Does she treat us the same? Judge for yourself. — That’s My Lot in Life Dear Lot: We wish your mother could better appreciate what you are offering. So many parents write us saying their kids have no interest in being close. We suspect Mom simply feels more comfortable around her daughter than her son and daughter-inlaw. It’s not uncommon. But it is unfair of her to penalize you for it. Keep in mind, traveling may become more difficult for Mom as time goes on. But until then, please tell her how you feel and ask her to make a greater effort to participate in your life. We hope she will. Dear Annie: Tell “Lonely for Friends” to check the women’s clubs in her area. These are national philanthropic organizations that contribute time and money to various worthy community causes. The more involved I became the more people I met. It is an opportunity to do good while making friends. I am sure “Lonely” would be welcomed into her local club. She can check online at www.gfwc.org to locate one in her area. — Been There, California

Horoscope ARIES (March 21—April 19). The moon gives you an energetic boost that’s better than anything you could buy in a bottle, mug or to—go cup. You’re physically stronger than yesterday, and the odds are with you for winning at sports. TAURUS (April 20—May 20). The philosopher Cosino DeGregrio said, “Beware the flatterer: He feeds you with an empty spoon.” Of course, if you’re very hungry, you’ll accept the placebo effect and eat it right up. GEMINI (May 21—June 21). If there’s one thing you do not lack, it’s complexity. You’re multidimensional and will interest others on many different levels. No one, not even you, knows all of you. CANCER (June 22—July 22). Being overly concerned with what’s appropriate only makes everyone feel uptight. If you’re too agreeable, you’ll shortchange all the zippy fun that happens when you’re edgy. LEO (July 23—Aug. 22). As if saying the right thing at the right time weren’t tricky enough, saying nothing at the moment that tempts you to state the obvious truth of the matter takes superhuman good taste. VIRGO (Aug. 23—Sept. 22). People think highly of you and will seem to have overblown opinions of your abilities. Don’t modestly disqualify what they think and say, because they could be right. LIBRA (Sept. 23—Oct. 23). You’re in a competitive mood, but if you compete

with a partner, you’ll either lose for winning or lose for losing. It will be better to play games with acquaintances or strangers. SCORPIO (Oct. 24—Nov. 21). You’re sensitive to different environments and will match your conversation accordingly. Some people aren’t as good at this as you are, which is why you’ll be the guardian of social flow. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22—Dec. 21). Your fire—sign tendencies will be amplified at the start of the day when emotions will run hot. But the evening hours cool things down with a breezy sense of detachment and a playful mood. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22—Jan. 19). You’ll be encouraged to air some of your strong opinions. Loved ones don’t expect or want you to agree on every point, but they will be hurt if you don’t at least listen to their views. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20—Feb. 18). Someone is thinking about the future while you’re still trying to figure out the moment —— it’s a relationship out of sync. To get back into a relationship groove, either you need to speed up or the other person needs to slow down. PISCES (Feb. 19—March 20). You want to connect with successful people, but their success doesn’t matter nearly as much to you as how they interact with you. When it comes to relationships, it’s your personal evaluation, not the world’s, that matters.

City contract negotiations cost $100K Police contract settled for three years B y T im Weideman

city.beat@thedailyunion.net Members of the Junction City Police Officers Association over the next three years will receive 12-percent raises, which officials say J im makes up for S ands 2011 and 2012 when union members didn’t see any increases. Earlier this week, the City Commission approved the contract, 4-1. A lengthy and costly negotiation period led up to the agreement.

Ranch Continued from Page 1A way I can with my expertise and skills,” Borst said. Advocates also believe the house has value as a historical landmark and can receive tax credits and grants for that reason. According to a Kansas Historical Society web page, it’s potentially eligible to be placed on the National Register. The Kansas Preservation Alliance has added the Water Wheel Ranch House to the Kansas Endangered Landmarks list. According to the Facebook page, it can be used as a location for guest and group leaders and bike tours as well. Mike Spohn, the operations manager for Rock Springs, said the house was established in the 1880s and was not the original settlement on the property. When a committee purchased the site for a 4-H camp in the 1940s, the house was used for a variety of purposes over the years. Some of those include administrative offices, housing for staff members and a dairy which used the water wheel for

The negotiations came in at an estimated cost of more than $100,000 to the city, according to interim City Manager Cheryl Beatty. That figure included attorney fees of $46,000, she said. The cost was one of the reasons why Commissioner Jim Sands voted against the contract agreement. “It could have been done a whole lot better at a whole lot less money for both sides,” Sands said. He added another problem he had with the negotiations was how the process was handled. “There’s a process where you don’t go full force,” Sands said. “You test the

water, then you kind of go from there. We jumped way into the deep end right from the start and it cost both sides. We didn’t have to spend this much money and it was done improperly.” Representatives from both sides shared their thoughts before commissioners approved the contract agreement. “We came to an agreement with the city and I believe it’s a win-win for both the city and the police officers represented under this agreement,” union president Todd Godfrey told commissioners. “There were a lot of issues that were dealt with that had been a problem in the past.” The Junction City Police Association (JCPOA) represents officers with the rank of sergeant and below.

production. The last time it was functional, it was a museum with artifacts inside. Educational tours also were given. “We’ve come to the point where we’ve had to lock it up and not allow anyone inside that actual structure,” Spohn said. “We still provide programming at the water wheel and the spring, but we don’t use the structure of the house itself for programming at this point due to safety concerns with our guests.” Spohn said the house is a part of Rock Spring’s history, but the big attraction is the spring itself and the waterwheel. “When people come back to reminisce about camp, they ask about the waterwheel,” Spohn said. “They remember standing at the spring and sticking their hands in the cold water and watching the waterwheel turn over and over again.” Spohn said Rock Springs receive calls about people wanting factual information about the house. “When we explain the challenges and the vision we have, they’re on board with it and understand why we need to move in that direction,”

Spohn said. The Foundation has a concept, but plans and a demolition timeframe have not been finalized. But Spohn said it would allow more access to the spring and flumes. “The setup down there is not exactly user-friendly for those who may have physical limitations,” Spohn said. “We want to allow that access, so folks of all ages and physical abilities can access the waterwheel and the spring area.” The vision also includes ways to show how alternative energy can be used from the water and the wheel and displays about historical information associated with the spring. Spohn said the spring water is used for operations at the camp. “For us, that water is life,” Spohn said. “That’s why it’s important to celebrate it.” Spohn said children like to relax and put their legs in the 56 degree water and race small boats in the flume. The demolition would also allow more space for those activities. As a staff worker in the late 1960s and ’70s, Borst lived in the house and has many memories. One of them included a fire started

In December 2012, the city and JCPOA reached an impasse during negotiations. This summer, an arbitrator was brought in to help the sides reach an agreement on key issues. Junction City Police Chief Tim Brown said officers gained some ground after they didn’t receive salary increases in recent years. “This did put the officers back to where what they lost in the 2011 and 2012 contract,” Brown said. “There were no increases for any officers in 2011 and 2012 — none. And this helps them get back almost to where they were and that’s a positive.” Brown said a city-union agreement before he was chief determined the union would have some say in a few other topics during negotiations.

“The agreement was the union would have a say in promotional, internal affairs slash disciplinary affairs that were a part of the Junction City Police Department procedural orders that we make out at the police department,” Brown said. “We came to an agreement on all three of these particular procedures.” Both sides acknowledged those issues were partially responsible for the lengthy negotiations and were a reason why attorneys were necessary. “A lot of the language is straightened out by those attorneys for the city and police officers,” Godfrey said. “So hopefully this handles a lot of the issues that we’ve had.” This is the first time the city and JCPOA have agreed to a three-year contract.

He also enjoyed his time working with maintenance, in the kitchen and as a carpenter at the facility. “I had my memories

“Because of the cost of attorney fees and negotiations, we extended it to a three-year contract because it was too expensive to continue to go back year after year to achieve what we know we can likely afford and likely be able to handle,” Beatty said. Several commissioners shared their concern about the expense to the city and the amount of time spent on negotiating. “I would hope that a lot of things have been worked out so that they won’t take as much effort in the future,” Vice Mayor Pat Landes said. Brown said this round of negotiations should help in the future. “We hope that with these policies in place, the negotiations for the 2016 contract will be more streamlined,” he said.

Hernandez friend arraigned on accessory charge

An associate of former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to an accessory charge in the case in which Hernandez is charged with murder. Ernest Wallace of Bristol, Conn., appeared Thursday afternoon in Bristol Superior Court. He was indicted last month on a charge of being an accessory to murder after the fact. He will continue to be held on $500,000 bail until a bail hearing Sept. 26. His defense attorney asked for time to review the grand jury’s minutes. Police have said Wallace and another man were with Hernandez when 27-year-old Odin Lloyd of Boston was killed June 18. Lloyd’s body was found in North Attleborough, not far from Hernandez’s home. Wallace went to Florida after Lloyd’s death. Hernandez is being held without bail after pleading not guilty to murder.

Finding room to run

Maya Moore has been one of the most celebrated women’s basketball players to ever take the court. She was a star in high school and a star at UConn before the Minnesota Lynx drafted her No. 1 overall in 2011. Now in her third season in the WNBA, Moore has become the virtuoso in the pro game that everyone expected. She averaged a career-high 18.5 points per game in the regular season and became the first player in WNBA history to lead the league in both 3-point percentage and 3-pointers made. She was named Western Conference player of the month in August and September. Moore’s Lynx open the postseason with a game against Seattle on Friday night.

Mahut upsets Seppi to reach Metz quarterfinals

Nicolas Mahut of France upset third-seeded Andreas Seppi of Italy 6-4, 6-4 to reach the Moselle Open quarterfinals on Thursday. Mahut broke last year’s runner-up twice in each set. The Frenchman won two titles in the summer and is enjoying his best season. Florian Mayer and Benjamin Becker of Germany also advanced to the last eight. The eighth-seeded Mayer did not face a break point in his 6-3, 6-2 victory over Lukas Lacko of Slovakia, while Becker outlasted French wild card Albano Olivetti 6-7 (8), 6-3, 6-1. Olivetti rallied from 6-2 down in the tiebreaker to win the first set. But Becker broke Olivetti twice in the next set to even the match. The German took leads of 3-0 and 5-1 in the third set.

Blue Jays hold on to defeat Shawnee Heights 21-12 E than P adway

sports.beat@thedailyunion.net With less than a minute remaining, Junction City clung on to a 9-point lead as Shawnee Heights quarterback Camden Wheatley franticly tried to drive his team down the field. Wheatley had already torched the Junction City defense for 215 yards passing on the night. After leading the Thunderbirds across midfield on a hook-and-

ladder play, he dropped back once again, this time looking to send a pass deep over the middle, which is where he had done most of his damage in the game. But Junction City defensive back Christian Ozores dropped back into his coverage and read Wheatley’s throw. Ozores jumped in front of the receiver, snatching the ball out of the air and sealed a 21-12 Blue Jay victory at Al Simpler Stadium Friday night. “Defensively, we’ve been in

pretty good position all year long,” Junction City coach Randall Zimmerman said. “We haven’t always done everything right, but they played really well again tonight.” It was one of four turnovers forced by the Blue Jays on the night. On the previous drive, Wheatley led his team all the way into the red zone. Then he lofted an endzone fade Please see Blue

Jays struggle in Topeka Triangular D aily U nion S taf f

sports.beat@thedailyunion.net After watching her team struggle through a triangular hosted by Topeka High Thursday night, Junction City volleyball coach Megan Parks decided to make some changes with her coaching style. A year after experiencing the high of making it to State, the Blue Jays are now dealing with the trials of replacing the majority of the varsity roster from a year ago. Parks has come to the realization that this season will be a rebuilding one for her squad. “I still think that we can do great things,” she said. “But we’re going to approach practice from now on day-by-day and week-by-week and not looking anywhere into the future, not worrying about games that are coming up. We are going to focus on us. We’re not going to worry about who the other team has, who their big hitter (is). We’re going to work on our side of the net.” In thursday’s opening match, Junction City lost to Topeka High in consecutive sets, 25-14 and 25-17. It was the first time the Blue Jays have lost to the Trojans in Parks’ tenure as coach. Please see Volleyball, 2B

Great Bend hands Junction City soccer 10-0 loss D aily U nion S taf f

sports.beat@thedailyunion.net The Junction City boys soccer team took the field at Great Bend hoping to wash the awful taste of its previous loss out of its mouth. Instead, the squad left the pitch early, before the final seconds even ticked off the clock, as Great Bend mercy-ruled the Blue Jays in a 10-0 win. “We took a really big step back (Thursday),” Proctor said. “Like I’ve mentioned every single time, and I’m going to keep mentioning it, it’s the little things. Until we can figure out how to do the little things correctly every single time, it’s going to end not well. We took a step back.” Throughout the game, the Blue Jays struggled defending the 1-2 wall pass where a Great Bend player passed the ball up then immediately made a run. The player receiving the ball fired it right back to the original player and the bang-bang action caught Junction City off guard. “It’s something that we can do because it means all we’re doing is turning and watching the ball go past us,” Proctor said. “And if we’re just turning and watching it means we’re not playing the game and we’re not using our heads. That’s an important thing we’re going to go over a lot, recognizing the 1-2 and realizing how they can benefit us in the game as well.” Proctor tried to counter the Great Bend attack by dropping a center midfielder back into more of a defensive position. The Jays didn’t receive much of a boost from the formation tweak and entered the half down 4-0. Meanwhile, Junction City managed just three shots on net all game. Proctor said those four goals made a huge difference “We’ve got to be able to limit the amount of goals that we allow and obviously you have to score more goals than the other team and when Please see Soccer, 2B

We’re really just playing against ourselves right now. We’re our own worst enemy and we just have to get past that.

Yankees LHP Andy Pettitte to retire after season B y MIKE FITZPATRICK

Associated Press NEW YORK — Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte will retire after this season. The team announced Pettitte’s decision in a news release Friday, hours before opening its final homestand. The 41-year-old left-hander initially retired after the 2010 season, but he sat out only one year before returning to the Yankees. “I’ve reached the point where I know that I’ve left everything I have out there on that field,” Pettitte said in the statement. “The time is right. I’ve exhausted myself, mentally and physically, and that’s exactly how I want to leave this game.” In a nice bit of symmetry, Pettitte is scheduled to make two more starts this season — one at Yankee Stadium and the other in his hometown of Houston. Pettitte is set to pitch against the San Francisco Giants on Sunday, when the Yankees will honor longtime closer Mariano Rivera. Baseball’s career saves leader also is retiring. “One of the things I struggled with in making this announcement now was doing anything to take away from Mariano’s day on Sunday,” Pettitte said. “It is his day. He means so much to me, and has meant so much to my career that I would just hate to somehow take the attention away from him.” Rivera has saved 72 of Pettitte’s 255 career wins, the most for any set of

teammates in major league history. Pettitte holds MLB records for postseason wins (19) and starts (44), but it would take quite a surge by the Yankees for him to get an opportunity to add to those marks. They began the day 3 1/2 games behind Tampa Bay and Texas for the second AL wild card, with three other teams in between. A three-time All-Star, Pettitte has helped New York to seven AL pennants and five World Series championships during 15 seasons in pinstripes. He was the MVP of the 2001 AL championship series and is the franchise leader in career strikeouts with 2,009. He joined old buddies Rivera, Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada to make up the “Core Four” that has led the Yankees to more than a decade and a half of sustained success. Jeter, limited by injuries to just 17 games this season, will be the only one left next year. “I’m announcing my retirement prior to the conclusion of our season because I want all of our fans to know now — while I’m still wearing this uniform — how grateful I am for their support throughout my career,” Pettitte said. “I want to have the opportunity to tip my cap to them during these remaining days and thank them for making my time here with the Yankees so special.” Pettitte is 10-10 with a 3.93 ERA in 28 starts this season. After a rough patch, he has pitched particularly well down the stretch with New York desperately chasing a playoff berth.

Parks said it was nice to see her grow offensively on the evening. “We were trying to get the ball to her in the middle,” she said. “We’re still working on her blocking and being a consistent blocker and playing at the varsity pace, that’s new to her.” Courtney Maury, who is returning from a knee injury, also showed she is returning to form. Maury is one of the few returning varsity players from last season. “We’re using her on the right side and she had some nice blocks (Thursday),” Parks said. “We’re trying to rebuild her confidence, using her on the right side, she’s not ready to move on the net yet but she got us some nice blocks and nice hits.” Junction City has a week off before traveling to a tournament at Topeka Seaman on Saturday, Sept. 28.

The Shawnee Heights receiver misplayed the ball, over committing deep and then tripping on the ball which Wheatley put too much air under.

Defensive lineman Immanuel Cason, who recovered the first Thunderbirds’ fumble of the night, said the defensive effort was due to the unit coming together. “We finally just came together,” Cason said. “The selfishness went out the window. All that went on it weeks past, we threw it out of our heads and we did work, we did what we

you let in goals and can’t score goals, that’s a struggle,” He said. Proctor feels part of the problem is the large quantity of games his team has played over a short period of time. The Jays have already completed nine contests, while their opponent Thursday, Great Bend, just finished its sixth. “It’s tough to get better when you don’t have the opportunity to practice,” Proctor said. “And when we don’t practice, we can’t get any better so I think the biggest thing with us is now had to do.” Junction City opened up the game with a 13-point, first quarter lead. The Blue Jays’ offense focused on the thunder-andlightning rushing duo of seniors Jerma’l Campbell and Dequon Davis. All evening long, Campbell pounded the ball up the middle and punished defenders with his powerful running while Davis used his patience to wait for holes to open up in the defense and then attack them with his speed. Davis finished the day with 21 rushing attempts for 168 yards, including a 50-yard touchdown run in the second half to give the Blue Jays some insurance. Campbell then came in and bruised his way into the endzone for the 2-point conversion to make it a two-possession game. Senior center Nick Zimmermann said the line’s focus helped them open up the running game for their backs. Nick moved to center from defensive line because of an injury to regular center Dave

Graham’s hand. Graham shifted to guard. “I was a little nervous knowing that I hadn’t played center in a couple of years,” Nick said. “From Junior Jays until freshman year, I had played center my whole life but coming back to offense, it just feels like home to me. I just like the feeling of protecting my quarterback.” Quarterback Tanner Lueker only needed to complete two passes in the game to keep the Jays’ moving the chains. Instead, he utilized his feet to scramble for 75 yards in the game. “I feel like whenever Tanner scrambles, he’s improvising to find the best hole and find the best way to run the ball,” Nick said. The win improves Junction City’s record to 1-2 on the season. The Jays season continues next week at Hayden. “We’re getting the momentum up,” Nick said. We’ve got to keep it going. We’ve got to stick to our assignments and keep going hard.’

Royals beat Rangers 2-1 Associated Press KANSAS CITY — Alcides Escobar was going to take the first pitch that Neftali Feliz threw him, no matter what. After that, the Royals shortstop decided to keep taking pitches until he saw a strike. Turns out he never got to see one. Escobar walked on four pitches with the bases loaded and two outs in the eighth inning Friday night, giving Kansas City a 2-1 victory over the Texas Rangers in the opener of an important three-game series between teams in the playoff race. “We had the utmost confidence he was going to get it done right there and he had a great at-bat,” said Royals manager Ned Yost, who chose to stick with Escobar despite his .238 batting average and the fact that he had walked just 18 times in more than 600 plate appearances. Make that 19 times. “I’m frustrated that I wasn’t able to

locate where I wanted to, but I understand that’s part of the game,” Feliz said. “I need to keep my head up and try it again tomorrow.” The Rangers dropped a half-game behind the Indians, which beat Houston 2-1 in a rain-shortened game, for the second AL wild-card spot. The Royals were three games behind the leading Rays, who were locked in an extrainning game with the Orioles. “These games are all going to be like this,” said Yost, whose Royals (81-72) are already assured of their first non-losing season since 2003. “They’re all going to be nail-biters. They’re all going to be close.” This one was so close the Rangers and Royals scored matching runs in the second inning, and then started tossing up zeros the rest of the way. The Royals finally broke through when Lorenzo Cain and Mike Moustakas hit consecutive two-out singles off the Rangers’ Jason Frasor (4-3) in the eighth. Pinch-hitter David Lough drew

a walk on a full-count pitch, and Rangers manager Ron Washington brought in Feliz. He promptly walked Escobar as a crowd of 30,000 roared. Luke Hochevar (5-2) earned the win in relief of Ervin Santana, who allowed one run on five hits in 7 1-3 innings. Greg Holland worked the ninth for his 44th save. “It stinks when you get taken out and you’ve got to rely on someone else. It’s hard to sit there and watch,” Frasor said. “It’s a tough spot for Neftali.” The Rangers actually jumped out to an early lead when Adrian Beltre, whose .374 average coming into the game was the best of any current player at Kauffman Stadium, roped a single to lead off the second. It was followed by a double by A.J. Pierzynski for a 1-0 advantage. The Royals answered in the bottom half when Salvador Perez led off with a Charlie Riedel • The Associated Press double and Justin Maxwell, getting the Kansas City Royals’ Justin Maxwell is caught stealing third by Texas start in right field, hit a two-out double Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre to end the sixth inning of a to tie the game. baseball game Friday, in Kansas City, Mo.

Reid’s return a success as Chiefs top Eagles 26-16

B y BARRY WILNER

Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — The look was strange: Andy Reid in all red on the visitors’ sideline. The result was similar to what he gave Philadelphia in his 14 years in charge of the Eagles. Reid’s homecoming was a smashing success for the new Kansas City coach thanks to a dynamic defense that forced five turnovers and sacked a harried Michael Vick five times in the Chiefs’ 26-16 victory Thursday night. “Yeah, it was different,” Reid said. “I was on the opposite side of the field than I normally am at. But I can’t tell you that I was caught up in that part of it.” Vick even limped off with 1:07 to go after fumbling, but stayed around to hug Reid following the final play — just after Donnie Avery gave Reid a Gatorade shower on the sideline. “It was great to see the players that are here,” Reid admitted. “I had a chance to talk to them after the game.” Kansas City, which has not had a giveaway in opening 3-0, has won one more game already than it did in 2012 — when it earned the first overall draft pick, then hired Reid

days after he was fired on the heels of Philly’s 4-12 finish. The usually stoic Reid showed some fire to match his bright red outfit late in the first half when he thought the Chiefs got a bad spot. He came out to the hash mark to yell at the officials, then walked off at halftime still gesturing his displeasure. That was far more emotion than he displayed when he entered the stadium with the Chiefs just before kickoff. Although the Philly fans gave him a warm ovation, some standing in tribute to the man who won 140 games and six division titles for them, Reid walked briskly along the sideline, never turning his gaze toward the stands. But he later said he recognized the tribute. “I appreciate the fans and the support they gave me,” he said. “That was kind of them.” He certainly had to like much of what he saw on the field from his defense, particularly Houston. It was offensive master Reid’s defense and special teams that set the tone and put his team ahead early, silencing the sea of green at the Linc. The Chiefs forced four first-half turnovers and Houston had three of their four sacks. He had another half-sack to start the second

half, off a bad snap to Vick, and forced Vick to fumble with 1:34 remaining. Houston has 6 1/2 sacks in three games. “We got the push from the guys inside and that made it easier for the guys outside to get in there and get after him,” Houston said. Damaris Johnson’s muffed punt return gave Kansas City the ball at the Eagles 8, leading to Ryan Succop’s 33-yard field goal for a quick 3-0 lead. Derrick Johnson then deflected Vick’s ill-advised throw into the flat and Eric Berry picked it off, going 38 yards with the first interception of the year for the Philly quarterback. There would be more mistakes as Philadelphia (1-2) lost its eighth straight home game. But first, after falling behind 10-0, Vick got the Eagles’ no-huddle, fast-tempo offense going with the longest run of his 12-year career. He burst up the middle, shook off two attempted tackles and sped 61 yards. Two plays later, it was his arm doing the damage. Under a heavy rush, he stood in and led Jason Avant perfectly in the left corner of the end zone for a 22-yard score.

Manhattan Shoe RepaiR

LAWRENCE — Kansas quarterback Jake Heaps could be forgiven if he experienced a “here we go again” moment when he arrived home last Saturday night. After beating a lower-division team in their season opener, the Jayhawks were leading Rice in the second half when things went haywire. Just like last year, the result was a stinging defeat that left Kansas sitting at 1-1 as it heads into Week 3 of the season. Then again, Heaps was redshirting during last season’s disappointment. So maybe he’s not quite ready to acknowledge the season already bears an eerie resemblance to last year. “You’re looking for a team that is motivated,” he said. “That’s how these guys are. We’re all (ticked) off about how Saturday went and we’re looking out here to improve and get a win here on Saturday, and to show everybody that’s not the type of team we plan on being.” Here are important factors that could decide who is successful: SHAKING IT UP: Kansas coach Charlie Weis shook up his depth chart this week in an attempt to get the offense on track. Junior college transfer Rodriguez Coleman jumped over Oklahoma transfer Justin McCay at one of the wide receiver positions, and Trent Smiley moved ahead of Jimmay Mundine at tight end. “Even though Rodriguez is probably getting force fed before he’s really ready to be number one, we need to get better and we can’t win games scoring 14 points,” Weis said. “That just isn’t going to be good enough.” TONY, TONY, TONY! There is perhaps no more dynamic playmaker on the Jay-

hawks than Tony Pierson, who has moved from running back to wide receiver. The speedy Pierson still has six carries for 50 yards, but he also has six catches for 127 yards and a touchdown. “Tony’s one of the one guys on our team that can take a six yard gain and turn it into a big play,” Weis said. PRESSURE HEAPS: Louisiana Tech has shown an ability to get into the offensive backfield this season. The Bulldogs are second in the nation in tackles for loss and third nationally in sacks, led by IK Enemkpali, who has 4 1/2 sacks and five tackles for loss. “They have like, 12 sacks, and they’re way up there in tackles for loss, both categories. They live off of big plays and one of the guys that you know you have to be concerned with right off the bat is Enemkpali at their defensive end,” Weis said. “He’s a pretty dynamic pass rusher.” WIN ONE FOR COACH: The Jayhawks are still trying to break through for Weis, who won just once during his first season in Lawrence. The Bulldogs are in their first season under Holtz, who won games at UConn and East Carolina before things ended badly for him in South Florida. The two coaches know each other well, too. Weis got friendly with Holtz’s father, Lou, when he was the coach at Notre Dame. “One of the first things I did when I got there was talk to Lou and talk to Ara (Parseghian),” Weis said. “I thought they would be great people to talk to. They were great to me the whole time I was there. They were good confidants; they tell you the good and the bad. They would say the good doesn’t last very long, so let’s spend more time talking about the bad. I’ve heard his jokes a few times, seen his card tricks a few time. But he was really good to me.”

Generations Together — through I.C.A.R.E.

(front, left to right) Certificates were awarded to: Nita Miller, Shelley Kite, Inita Barton, Kristopher Jones, Junnae Campbell, Kelly Carmody, Elizabeth Nelson, Tonya Bobbitt, SPC Bruce Beadle, Becky Willis, Lorraine Walker. (back) Tim Stuck, James Russell.

Volunteers make a difference, gift to community Special to the Daily Union The mission of The I.C.A.R.E. Center is to “build positive relationships between youth and older adults.” The organization was established as a 501 ( c ) (3) in 2009. Our goal is to build ongoing relationships between two generations, rather than have a single in-and out encounter. The goal will be met by capitalizing on the strengths and assets of both generations through innovative intergenerational programs and activities. The interaction between generations will result in sharing and developing knowledge, education, social development, and volunteer services with each other and the community. Some examples of our intergenerational activities are Wii games, board games, art, crafts, socialization, reading, singing, outings, and older adults attending on-site school programs and Opera Plays. Fort Riley military soldiers and local youth receive community service hours by providing community clean-up and minor repair services to older adults.

Statistics • 2009-2010 — (pilot) There were 11 scheduled intergenerational activities in Geary County. There were 133 school age students, 40 senior care residents, and 12 volunteers • 2010-2011 — There were 28 scheduled intergenerational activities in Geary County. There were 197 school age students, 59 senior care residents, and 35 volunteers • 2011-2012 — There were 32 scheduled intergenerational activities in Geary County.

There were 246 school age students 6-12 years old, 78 senior care residents, one K-State Interim Student, and seven young adult volunteers who benefited from the intergenerational activities. On Aug. 27, 2013, The I.C.A.R.E. Center Organization celebrated their 3rd

Annual Volunteer Recognition Dinner, with the compliments of Valley View Senior Life. There were 58 in attendance and 30 Certificates Of Appreciation presented.

Certificates were awarded to: Valley View Senior Life, Bicentennial Manor, Via Christi Village Senior Care, USD 475, School District, USD 383 Riley County School District, Manhattan Boys & Girls Club, Ft. Riley Army Volunteer Corp, and individual I.C.A.R.E. Volunteers. Door prizes were donated by individuals, K-State, and Junction City Businesses. The JC Troubadours provided entertainment. Three speakers spoke at the annual volunteer rec-

ognition dinner. Their topic — “Personal intergenerational experiences with I.C.A.R.E. and within the local community.” The speakers were, Davonte King, Second Missionary Baptist Church Youth, SPC Bruce Beadle, A-234 AR, Fort Riley, and Manny Pasquil, Director of the JC Troubadours.

Monopoly helped World War II soldiers escape Germany H eather H agedor n

GCHS Curator

he Game of Monopoly was first mass marketed by Parker Brothers in 1935 and Rich Uncle Pennybags (today Mr. Monopoly) made his debut in Britain shortly after, becoming a hit on both sides of the Atlantic. By 1940, Rich Uncle Pennybags was helping Allied POWs escape German camps. Yes, you heard me right, that game that we play on rainy days helped allied prisoners from America, Britain, and France escape from the Nazis during World War II. The idea was first devel-

oped by MI-9, the British equivalent to the Secret Service, who was looking for a way to make maps that could be easily hidden in their soldiers’ uniforms in case of capture. Maps printed on paper would make noise every time they were unfolded, alerting prison guards to their presence. Paper maps also had the distinct negative aspect of falling apart or bleeding when wet. So, the British Intelligence group went to John Waddington, a game maker who had perfected the art of printing on silk, a material that held up under poor conditions and which could be folded neatly into the hollow heel of a boot, or sewn into the

lining of a uniform. John Waddington Ltd. also happened to be the British manufacturer of the popular American board game, Monopoly. And, luckily for the Allied POWs, “games and pastimes” was one of the categories of items the Germans allowed aid groups, like the Red Cross, to send in their CARE packages to the prisoners. The Nazis had realized that prisoners that were content were much easier to control than those who were bored and looking for trouble. So, under false aid groups, such as the “Prisoners’ Leisure Hours Fund,” the Allies began sneaking escape aids to the soldiers inside the camps.

MI-9 used this to their advantage and with a secret committee branch of Waddington Ltd., began producing Monopoly games which had maps cleverly hidden in depressions in the board beneath the paper playing surface. Because the games were sent to specific prison camps, the maps could be personalized to help orchestrate escape from specific regions. Game pieces were actually cleverly disguised miniature compasses and files. The organization even added real highdenomination German, French and Italian currency hidden beneath the fake monopoly money. As the escape system

developed, American and British soldiers were trained to identify these special monopoly boards. The method of identification was simple enough, but easily overlooked: a small red dot, almost like a printing mistake, in the Free Parking square. Once escape was accomplished, the soldiers were directed to destroy the board, so that no German soldier could discover this clever means of escape. By the end of the war, an estimated 35,000 Allied POWs successfully escaped and returned home safely. It is estimated that of these 35,000 soldiers, onethird of them were aided by maps hidden in Monopoly boards, chess sets and

other diversions sent through CARE packages. Versions of Monopoly change every decade. During World War II, games on the home front had to substitute wooden playing pieces for metal ones in order to aid the war effort. Today, store shelves are lined with hundreds of different versions, for hundreds of different interests. Junction City even made a version of the popular game to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Sundown Salute. But, during World War II there was one very important version of Monopoly, and Rich Uncle Pennybags was always a welcome visitor for the imprisoned soldier.

Canals run dry at Venetian in Vegas for 1st time Hawking

on hand for premiere of biopic

B y H annah D reier

Associated Press LAS VEGAS — It’s not often you can use the word “dry” to describe a Las Vegas landmark, but tourists hoping to cruise along the Venetian hotel-casino’s indoor canals are finding them tapped out. The waterways were emptied earlier this month for the first time since the casino opened in 2001. When the canals reopen in mid-October, the water will once again appear to sparkle below the hotel’s trompe-l’oeil sky. On Thursday, piped-in Italian music echoed off cement mixers and construction tools strewn around the bottom of the canals that meander through the hotel’s shopping mall. Tourists leaned over ornate stone and iron railings, frowning at the gray concrete. Normally, the waterways course with 280,000 gallons of water. It would take a garden hose 65 days to fill them. British honeymooners Will and Ann Marie Husbands had booked the hotel in part because of its canals. They were debating whether they could brave the 90-degree-plus heat to take their planned gondola ride in the canal in front of the hotel, which was still flowing but provides a much shorter ride, and is more obviously in Las Vegas, not Italy. “It’s one of the things that it’s most famous for, isn’t it?” Will said, still smarting a little from the disappointment. A steady stream of tourists stopped by a ticket

Three-year-old Luna Tasaki, of Tokyo, plays on a rail while walking along the water-drained canal with her parents Thursday at the Venetian hotel-casino in Las Vegas. kiosk to ask about the waterways. One couple said they had come to Las Vegas exclusively to ride a gondola in air-conditioned splendor. The man behind the counter, whose job is to sell people on shows and activities outside the hotel, has been responding to inquiries with shock and telling tourists that he still sees water flowing through the hotel. The gag didn’t go over too well with a Frenchman who spoke limited English. The nightshift kiosk clerk has been keeping a tally of people who ask about the canals. One

night’s list had 90 check marks. More than 500,000 visitors ride the gondolas each year, either paying $18.95 for a 10-minute group ride, or $75.80 for a romantic couple’s ride. Tourists who aren’t staying at the hotel seem to have a better attitude about the surprise. Before heading to the Venetian’s luxury shops, Patricia Giles of northern England joked to her traveling companion that the canals had sprung a leak. Workers who labor in the canals at night are hiding hoses, tools and big orange buckets under blue tarps

beneath ersatz cobblestone bridges during the day. The costumed gondoliers’ whose baritone serenading provides a soundtrack to shopping and eating are gone for the month, either moved outside or temporarily laid off. The white “wedding gondola” decked out with an officiant is also out of commission. Las Vegas Sands, which owns the Venetian, is aware of the tourist grumblings. After all, it is Las Vegas, where adults are supposed to be able to regress to a boozy infancy, with every need and desire accommodated.

For property management, the repainting connects with another quintessential Las Vegas theme: the promise of perpetual renewal. “There’s a very specific sparkling blue color that we’re trying to achieve,” spokesman Keith Salwoski said. “It dulls over time. This is our opportunity to start fresh and have the canal be as bright as the day it opened.” The argument was lost on California resident John Rob as he discovered the dry waterways. “Oh man,” he said, hitting his wife’s arm. “I wanted to go on a ride.”

New Jersey ‘joking judge’ resigns after losing ruling Comedy Central audiences. He was also a part-time municipal judge in South Hackensack, where he handled things like traffic ticket cases and disorderly persons offenses. Several justices had questioned whether the public could separate Sicari’s position as a judge from roles he has played on the ABC hidden camera show “What Would You Do?” in which he has portrayed homophobic and racist characters. That dilemma played a central role in Thursday’s ruling, as the justices noted that someone tuning into the show might not know that actors were used in the sketches. They applied the same standard for Sicari’s stand-up performances. “In the course of his routines, Sicari has demeaned certain people based on national origin and religion and has revealed his political leanings,” according to the court’s opinion. “The court cannot ignore the distinct possibility that a person who has heard a routine founded on humor disparaging certain ethnic groups

Associated Press NEWARK, N.J. — Vince Sicari can tell all the lawyer jokes he wants — he just can’t play a judge in real life. The New Jersey municipal judge, who is also an established stand-up comedian and actor, resigned Thursday after the state Supreme Court ruled he can’t moonlight as an entertainer. Sicari told The Associated Press he tendered his resignation after the high court released a unanimous opinion that said his acting and comedy career is “incompatible” with judicial conduct codes and essentially gave him the choice of doing one or the other. “I’m not surprised by the result, but I’m very disappointed,” Sicari said. “I take great pride in being a judge and to give that up is disappointing.” The 44-year-old lawyer, whose stage name is Vince August, has carved out a career as a comic and actor, appearing on network television, in New York City comedy clubs and as a warm-up for

and religions will not be able to readily accept that the judge before whom he or she appears can maintain the objectivity and impartiality that must govern all municipal court proceedings.” A state ethics board recommended in 2008 that Sicari quit his comedy work, expressing concern over his character depictions on the ABC reality show and the potential content of his sketches. Sicari appealed the ruling to the state’s highest court, which heard arguments in February. Sicari’s attorney, E. Drew Britcher, insisted at the time that his client never cracked wise on the bench and never let on that he moonlighted as a comic. In his comedy routine, Britcher added, Sicari refrained from jokes about the legal profession and never divulged his judicial job. An attorney for the state attorney general’s office, Kim D. Ringler, argued against Sicari being allowed to hold both jobs, saying municipal judges represent the most frequent contact the public

has with the justice system. Some of the characters Sicari has depicted could confuse the public and reflect badly on the judiciary, she argued. Sicari, who is a member of the Screen Actors Guild and other professional performers’ unions, has said his entertainment work entitles him to health benefits and earns him more than his $13,000-a-year part-time judge salary. He said during the Supreme Court arguments in February that he was equally passionate about both his jobs and reiterated that Thursday. “I’ve been balancing these professions my entire career,” he said. “I have a passion for all of them. If I didn’t have a passion, this wouldn’t be a Supreme Court case.” Sicari said he would continue practicing law, which the Supreme Court said in its opinion he is entitled to do and which he has done during the time he was a judge.

LONDON — He’s famous for his brainy but accessible exploration of the cosmos in “A Brief History of Time.” Now, renowned physicist Stephen Hawking has his own brief history, a biopic which traces a life marked by disability and stubbornness. Stephen Hawking was on hand Thursday for the British premiere of “Hawking,” which follows the 71-year-old from his early days as an eccentric young student to one of the world’s most recognizable scientists. Hawking was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis when he was 21 and told he had only a few years to live, but has gone on to become one of the world’s leading authorities on the study of the universe. In a trailer for the film, Hawking’s is heard saying that humor “has been vital to my survival.”

Cranston books a post ‘Breaking Bad’ movie role Associated Press

NEW YORK — Bryan Cranston will star as blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo in a film that’s to be his first after wrapping “Breaking Bad.” A publicist for Cranston confirmed the casting Thursday. The film, “Trumbo,” will be directed by “Meet the Parents” filmmaker Jay Roach from a script by John McNamara. As a member of the Communist Party, Trumbo was among the Hollywood 10: screenwriters and directors blacklisted in 1947 after refusing to testify before the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Trumbo won two Oscars, one for the script to “The Brave One,” written under the name Robert Rich, and another awarded posthumously for “Roman Holiday.” Cranston also stars in the upcoming “Godzilla,” due out in May. The 57-year-old actor is nominated for an Emmy for his performance in “Breaking Bad” at Sunday’s awards.

Here are a few books to read from the DBPL Fiction on the Library Calendar A “New York Times” re you looking for reading suggestions — something from a new and upcoming author, a newly anticipated release from a beloved writer, or just a recommended good read? If so, check out some of the books that members of our library staff are currently reading. Many of the books on this list are also available in large print, as an audiobook, and in ebook format. A couple of the books that we are reading are debut books an author’s first published novel. There have been an abundance of well written debuts published this year. One of these, “The Yonahlosse Riding Camp for Girls” by Anton Disclafani, was called the “summer’s first romantic page tuner” by a “New York Times” book reviewer and chosen as a most anticipated book for the summer of 2013 by staff at “Publishers Weekly”, “USA Today”, and “NPR.” Discalfani’s book is a novel of family secrets and girls-school rituals, set in the 1930s South. Thea Atwell, age fifteen, has been cast out of her home and sent to an equestrienne boarding school after her mysterious role in a family tragedy. There she struggles with her responsibilities for the events that led her to the school. Part scandalous love story, part heartbreaking family drama, “The Yonahlossee Riding Camp for Girls” is a page turning novel that

have to be made after the couple discovers a boat that came to shore carrying a dead man and a live baby. This is a story that explores situations in which there are no right answers, and where justice for one person is another’s tragic loss. Reviewers describe the book as “exquisite and unforgettable.” Members of the Ladies of the Night Book Discussion group wholeheartedly agree. “The Son” by Philipp Meyer is not a debut, but was released to rave reviews this year. Kidnapped by the Comanche after his mother and sister are murdered, thirteen year-old Eli McCullough quickly adapts to Comanche life. When the tribe is decimated by disease, starvation, and armed Americans, Eli is left alone in a world where he is neither white nor Indian. This is a “masterful achievement from a sublime young author.” Ken Follett’s “World Without End” is the first novel in the Century Trilogy. It follows the fates of five interrelated families — American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh – as they live through the

world changing events of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women’s suffrage. Bestselling author Follett always produces “brilliantly researched, fast-moving” stories with richly created characters. Each day, Rusty feeds a dog that’s left chained in frigid weather with no shelter, food or water. When he realizes that the dog has been injured, Rusty and his friend Andrew take the dog. Are they stealing, or are they rescuing a dog in need? This is the premise for Peg Kehret’s book for young readers, “Ghost Dog Secrets,” a fast-paced suspense with a surprising conclusion. Other titles that we are currently reading (or listening to) include “The Clash of Kings” by George R.R. Martin, “Ready Player One” by Ernest Cline, “The Longest Ride” by Nicholas Sparks, “The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak, and “The Silver Linings Playbook” by Matthew Quick.

Pynchon, Lahiri among book award finalists Associated Press NEW YORK — Publishers hope that the new rules in place for the National Book Awards, for which the first-ever long-lists were announced this week, will lead to the kind of sales enjoyed by winners of Britain’s Man Booker Prize. With fiction finalists announced Thursday including Thomas Pynchon, George Saunders and Jhumpa Lahiri, the long list features the kind of highprofile choices major publishers have been advocating for years, extends the nominating period by a month and doubles the pool of possible winners. But publishers would surely settle for the success of the last work of fiction to win the National Book Award under the old rules: Louise Erdrich’s “The Round House.” Erdrich’s novel about a sexual assault on an Indian reservation has sold more than 300,000 copies over the past year, by far the highest numbers during Erdrich’s three decades as a published author and likely to grow much more when the paper-

back comes out this fall. Erdrich’s editor at HarperCollins, Terry Karten, cites some print and online advertising, but gives much of the credit to the award itself. “I do think her work is sometimes seen as inaccessible,” Karten says. “And one of the good things a prize like the National Book Award will do is that it encourages people to actually buy the book and read it. People seem to have discovered that she was not too difficult and they loved the book.” Major New York publishers, several of whom are represented on the board of the National Book Foundation, which presents the awards, had complained that in recent years the fiction picks were too obscure and that sales suffered. With the Booker as a model, a long-list of 10 was introduced this year for each of the four competitive categories — fiction, nonfiction, young people’s literature and poetry — and judges were expanded beyond fellow writers to representatives from journalism, bookselling and libraries.

According to her editor at Bloomsbury, Kathy Belden, sales for “Salvage the Bones” increased tenfold after Ward’s victory, to more than 100,000 copies. And Ward has benefited in other ways: Colleges have added “Salvage the Bones” to their reading lists; the novel will be published in China in January and is already out in Germany; her new book, the memoir “Men We Reaped,” has been widely reviewed. “The national recognition from winning the prize has also helped create a demand for Jesmyn to give talks, signings and lectures,” added Ward’s literary agent, Jennifer Lyons. “In addition, she has been receiving numerous requests to write stories, articles and opinion pieces.” Publishers are unlikely

to object to this year’s National Book Award fiction long-list, which also features Alice McDermott, James McBride and Rachel Kushner. Pynchon and McDermott are former National Book Award winners, Lahiri has won the Pulitzer Prize and Saunders is virtually the only short story writer whose books appear on best seller lists. McBride is already known for “The Color of Water” and Kushner’s “The Flamethrowers” was widely praised and publicized this year. While some nominees in recent years had come from such smaller publishers as Wayne State University Press and McPherson and Co., all 10 fiction finalists announced Thursday came from New York City-based publishers.

“We’re constantly thinking about how we can develop a larger audience,” said the foundation’s executive director, Harold Augenbraum. The Bookers, meanwhile, are changing, too. Organizers announced this week that U.S. authors would be eligible for the prize, starting in 2014. The National Book Awards have not had the consistent commercial power of the Bookers or the Pulitzer Prize, both of which typically generate hundreds of thousands of sales. But they have greatly helped established authors such as Erdrich and lesser known ones — authors whom publishers worry the public won’t care about — such as the 2011 fiction winner, “Salvage the Bones” novelist Jesmyn Ward.

Christians gather in Kansas to discuss homosexuality M aria S udekum

Associated Press PRAIRIE VILLAGE — A Kansas man, whose online lecture about the Bible and same-sex relationships gained considerable attention, has gathered about 50 Christians from around the country to delve into his belief that the Scriptures do not condemn homosexuality as a sexual orientation. Matthew Vines, of Wichita, grew up attending a conservative evangelical Presbyterian church in the city and relies heavily on intensive study of the Bible for his presentations. He said liberal and moderate Christian churches have adopted more gay friendly stances, but conservative churches remain steadfast in their opposition to homosexuality. The 23-year-old Vines wants to bring change with his message that the Bible doesn’t actually say samesex orientation is a sin or condemn loving gay relationships. Out of 100 applicants, Vines selected 50 people with ties to conservative churches to participate in his three-day conference, which started Wednesday in Prairie Village and ends Saturday. “This conference is important because it really represents the next frontier of the LGBT movement, which is working to change the minds of conservative Christians about same-sex relationships,” Vines said. “Because I’m a gay Christian who grew up in a conservative church and still have a lot of friends and family in conservative churches, I’m trying to empower people to be able to stay in their churches that are not yet supportive.” Vines delivered an hourlong lecture on the topic at a Wichita church and posted it to YouTube in March 2012. Since then, the video has garnered more than 600,000 views and 15,000 responses. And it has been translated into several languages.

Attendees are seated for a conference and a speech about the Bible and homosexuality in Thursday in Prairie Village. professor of ethics at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, wrote an extensive rebuttal on his blog about Vines’ online lecture and said Wednesday in a phone interview that Vines’ take on the Bible is not a faithful reading of the text. “It seems to me he is attempting to read Scripture through his presupposition that homosexuality is not a sin,” Lenow said. “... Every time (Scripture) speaks of homosexuality it speaks of homosexuality in terms of sin.” Jane Clementi, whose son, Tyler, killed himself in 2010 after his roommate at Rutgers University made a

Matthew Vines speaks on the Bible and homosexuality “A lot of conservative Christians are willing to listen, but they don’t want to do it with someone who isn’t educated about Scripture,” said Vines, who has

started a new organization, The Reformation Project, and written a book on the topic that will be published in March. Evan Lenow, assistant

webcast of him kissing another man, is among the conference participants. She’s giving a keynote address Friday evening. Her family has started a foundation to increase acceptance of gays in communities and their schools and churches. She said before Tyler died, the family attended a conservative Christian church that “was not affirming.” She is no longer a member of that church, though she has friends who still go there and were supportive after Tyler’s death. “But there is a discord, and I felt I couldn’t stay,” said Clementi, who lives in Ridgewood, N.J. “Even

though there wasn’t great amounts of time spent on preaching, the message was completely understood. ... Even within Christian communities if they’re preaching this, straight kids are hearing the message, too, that this group is worthless and broken and we have power over them. And that’s what a bullying situation is. ... “So that’s one of the things we want to speak to to make sure that no other youth feels that, and also so no other straight youth feels that they can do that. And no other parent should have to grieve the senseless loss. It’s not a reason to lose a child.”

Spiders are abundant, but fear not

very autumn, as the first frost approaches, I have an increase in the number of phone calls from homeowners concerning spiders. Some of the calls are simply from fascination as they encounter one of the large colorful orb weavers or garden spiders. Some of the calls are filled with terror or panic as the homeowner encounters a large wolf spider or suddenly sees their front lawn on a dewy morning covered in spider webs. Spiders are amazing predators. They primarily feed on other insects and arthropods. The bigger the spider, the bigger the prey they can capture and feed on. Some spiders overwinter

Chuck Otte Field & Garden as adults, but many start out each spring hatching from an egg sac that survived the winter. Early in the season there may be a lot of spiders, but they are small. But as summer progresses and then becomes autumn, the spiders get larger and far more noticeable. In a year with lots of insects we will have higher survival percentage of spiders. Some species will even go through multiple

generations during the summer when food is abundant. Food was abundant this year and the spiders did well, so we can expect to be seeing a lot of spiders this fall. Many spiders have venom that they use to paralyze prey so they can more easily turn it into food. All spiders have fangs. The venom of several spiders is poisonous to humans, but many of these species have fangs far too short or fragile to penetrate human skin, so they aren’t a problem. Other spiders have fangs long enough and strong enough to penetrate human skin, but their venom is not particularly toxic to humans. In Kansas there are two

species of spiders that have the right combination of venom and fangs that they are a risk to us. Those are the Black Widow and the Brown Recluse. The Black Widow is rare in our region and the Brown Recluse is common. But both of these spiders are unlikely to be found in the outdoors. We’ll discuss dealing with these two species, especially the Brown Recluse, in a future installment. There are three groups of spiders that tend to capture people’s attention this time of year. The first is the garden spiders or orb weavers. These are large spiders, often measuring a couple of inches from leg tip to leg tip. They make large webs and are often

found in the center of the web, head down. They are often brightly colored, frequently with yellow and white stripes on their body or legs. Wolf spiders are large stocky spiders with stout legs. They don’t spin extensive webs and usually capture prey by ambush. As autumn progresses they sometimes will enter homes looking to avoid winter. Like tarantulas, wolf spiders actually make fairly good pets, if you want a spider for a pet! The final group of spiders we see frequently are the funnel weavers. Funnel weavers make the extensive webbing in lawns that often looks like a webby funnel that leads to the throat at the base where the spider

hides. When an insect gets caught in the web, the spider feels the vibrations and runs out to capture it. While the Australian Funnel Weaver is highly poisonous, the funnel weavers that we have here in the states are not a threat. While an encounter with any of these groups of spiders can be surprising or unsettling, none of these should be considered a threat. As colder weather moves in, they will slowly disappear for another year. In the meantime, enjoy the beauty and variety of these insect predators.

Spending time with kids at a young age is important

ometimes life gets so crazy that we lose our focus on the important things in life. As we juggle our work, school activities, appointments, and home responsibilities, we often leave our families in the dust. Our meals together are few and far between. Recognizing the many challenges families face, the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) created Family Day – A Day to Eat Dinner with Your Children. This day, celebrated Sept. 23rd this year, specifically aims to promote family meal time while reducing substance abuse among children. According the Kansas Family Partnership, “children and youth who eat dinner with their families 5-7 times per week are more likely to be drugfree.” Meal times spent together promote communication among family members and provide an opportunity for parents to connect with their children about the daily events of the family members. The earlier these patterns of communication are set, the more lasting effect they will have as the children mature. I was fortunate to have great role models from both my parents in this area. I grew up the youngest of four chil-

Deb Andres Living Resourcefully dren who learned how to cook from my Army veteran dad. Dad served as a cook in the United States Army in Germany during the Korean War. The standard “recipe” he used in the kitchen was one-part inspiration, onepart creation, and twoparts of “whatever’s in the pantry!” It is from this foundation that I have been intentional in my own family to find activities that replicate the example I was raised with. In light of Family Day this week, I thought I would share a couple specific ideas about what we do in my family to help promote communication and make our time together more meaningful. Interestingly enough, they both center on meal time spent together, similar to what mom and dad did — but with our own twist. Because we have 3 busy boys in our family, my husband and I have a deep and personal understanding of the challenges families face in trying to make sure we share as many meals as we can together. To help

promote communication at my own dinner table, we play “thumbs up, thumbs down.” The purpose of this game is to make sure everyone at the table shares the things about their day that weren’t so good (thumbs down) and the things that were great about their day (thumbs up.) Each person takes their turn sharing a “thumbs down” until everyone has shared at least one thing. We continue around the table until all the “thumbs down” things have been shared. Then, to make sure we end the game on the positive side, we each take our turn sharing the “thumbs up” events from the day. We continue around the table until everyone has shared their “thumbs up” moments. One of the key rules is that you can share only one thing at a time. This helps promote communication through most of the meal rather than “dumping” everything out at once. Playing the game was a bit shaky, at first. My kids were concerned about what was safe to talk about and what was off limits, but they soon found out that there are few, if any, limitations. If there is a “thumbs down” comment that stirs my maternal defenses up, I will ask “Is there any-

K-STATE

Tropical treatment MANHATTAN — A Kansas State University microbiologist has found a breakthrough herbal medicine treatment for a common human fungal pathogen that lives in almost 80 percent of people. Govindsamy Vediyappan, assistant professor of biology, noticed that diabetic people in developing countries use a medicinal herb called Gymnema slyvestre to help control sugar levels. He decided to study the microbiological use of Gymnema slyvestre — a tropical vine plant found in India, China and Australia — to see if it could treat a common human fungal pathogen called Candida albicans. The investigation was successful on two levels: Vediyappan’s research team found the medicinal compound is both nontoxic and blocks the virulence properties of the fungus so that it is more treatable. The results are important for human health, biomedical applications and potential drug development. “We have shown that this compound is safe to use because it doesn’t hurt our body cells, yet it blocks the virulence of this fungus under in vitro conditions,” Vediyappan said. “Taking the medicine could poten-

tially help patients control the invasive growth of the fungus and also help bring their sugar levels down.” Candida albicans is one of the major fungal pathogens in humans because it lives in oral and intestinal areas as a normal flora, Vediyappan said. But the fungus can overgrow and can cause oral, intestinal and genital infections. The fungus kills almost 30 percent of people who have it and it is a concern among cancer patients -especially patients with neck or oral cancer -- HIV patients, organ transplant patients and other people with compromised immune systems. The fungus can grow in two forms: a treatable yeast and a difficult-to-treat hyphal form. Once the fungus transforms from a yeast to a hyphal growth it becomes difficult to treat because the hyphal growth has long filament-like structures that can spread into various organs. Vediyappan’s study aimed to block the hyphal growth form. “Once it gets into the tissue, it spreads like roots and is difficult to contain by our immune system,” Vediyappan said. If the fungus remains in yeast form, it is easy to manage and does not invade tissues. Vediyappan’s research

team purified gymnemic acid compounds that prevented the transition stage from occurring and stopped the fungus spread. The gymnemic acids come from the leaves of Gymnema sylvestre, a traditional medicinal plant. The research appears in the peer-reviewed journal PLOS ONE in an article titled “Gymnemic acids inhibit hyphal growth and virulence in Candida albicans.” Gymnema extract is commonly used to treat diabetes and other ailments because it is a cost-effective treatment, Vediyappan said. Often, people drink the extract to control their sugar levels or to lose weight. Although Vediyappan’s research team is not the first to discover gymnemic acid compounds, the team is the first to discover that the compounds block the fungal transition. The researchers found that the compounds work quickly, too, which was an important characteristic. The treatable fungal yeast can transition to a hyphal growth within 30 minutes of an infection. When the hyphal transition has occurred, it will grow into branched filaments.

thing you want me to help you with about this, or were you just wanting to share?” This helps me know how involved my son wants me to be in helping them deal with the situation. Sometimes, kids just need to vent and we need to be their listening post rather than their defender. We are in our third year of playing this game and I am happy to report that, if I forget to initiate the game, my kids will remind me or ask if we can play it. Another thing we try to do once a week is “Date Night.” However, instead of going out to eat, we save the expense and I will plan a meal that my kids can help me prepare. I try to

think of things that they can manage with their individual abilities. For example, my youngest is small for his age, so I need to make sure he gets to do something at the table — like buttering bread to be toasted. My oldest is fairly tall, so he typically gets to work more at the stove top like cooking pasta and stirring sauces. My middle son is the risk taker. He usually gets to put on the oven mitts to put food in or take it out of the oven. Just like my dad, I use some creativity combined with bona fide recipes to make sure I am teaching my kids how to read measurements as well as encouraging them to be creative.

A favorite meal is spaghetti with meat sauce, tossed salad, sliced applies and toasted garlic bread. Although my husband doesn’t usually participate in the cooking (too many cooks in the kitchen can be a bit chaotic.), he does come in when it is time to set the table to help the kids with that task.
