Milford Lake’s blue-green algae caused by phosphorus levels B y T im Weideman

city.beat@thedailyunion.net WAKEFIELD — State officials are diving into Milford Lake’s blue-green algae problem, trying to figure out how to lessen its impact. On Thursday, officials from several Milford Lake stakeholder agencies addressed a small gathering of about 30 people in Wakefield to share information about their efforts to improve water quality in the lake and the Republican River watershed. Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) officials said Milford Lake’s problem is an excess of nutrients and not enough dissolved oxygen in the water. Both factors lead to increased plant growth. In Milford Lake’s case — blue-green algae blooms. “For Milford, this is a fairly recent event,” Tom Stiles of the KDHE said. “Of course, in 2011, all of a sudden, the lake just blew up (with blue-green algae).” Milford Lake became a state priority and was added to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Kansas impaired bodies of water list after the summer of 2011, when the lake was plagued by a major blue-green algae bloom. During that summer, the KDHE confirmed a harmful algae bloom on July 18 and lifted the notice on Oct. 13. The lake spent 28 days under a blue-green algae advisory and 63 days under a warning. In warning conditions, contact with the water is highly discouraged. However, conditions became so bad in 2011 that the United States Army Corps of Engineers had to barricade access points to the water. The KDHE becomes involved when blue-green algae blooms are considered harmful. Humans potentially can see side effects — including vomiting, diarrhea and rashes — from coming into contact with the algae. “The real impact that people have seen is to their pets,” Tom Stiles with the KDHE said. Stiles said dogs and livestock can become sick and even die if they ingest blue-green algae. KDHE’s first plan of attack to combat blue-green algae is to bring down the phosphorus levels in the lake. “We view phosphorous as the main fuel in what drives these algal blooms,” Stiles said. “The Republican (River) is chock full of phosphorus.” By reducing phosphorous levels, and later nitrogen levels, Milford Lake’s blue-green algae problem could be lessened. “We want to strive to reduce how big they are, how long (lasting) they are here and how often they occur,” Stiles said. Stiles did note Milford hasn’t had a similar blue-green outbreak since the one in the 2011. “This year, for the most part, Milford behaved quite well,” he said. “Ever since 2011, we’ve had little spot problems.” Stiles said land use in the Republican River watershed, which extends northwest into Nebraska and even further, is adding to the high phosphorus levels in Milford Lake. Much of the watershed is used for farming and livestock. That’s where Kansas State University Research and Extension enters the equation. Runoff from heavy rains in the watershed send a high amount of Please see Lake, 10A

utside the shelter, Jennifer Gfeller smiled and laughed as Hamlet and Furgy moved around in her arms. Gfeller enjoyed cuddling and spending time with the small dogs. But Gfeller hopes someone else can hold them soon, too. “My favorite aspect of the job is finding homeless animals new and loving homes,” Gfeller said about her role as the new director of the Junction City-

Geary County Animal Shelter. “Each individual animal has a personality and each day is different.” Gfeller officially began in the position Tuesday and was intrigued by the job opportunity which became available in July. The shelter’s board announced her hiring in September. “I’m super excited to take on this position and I’m looking forward to working with the community,” Gfeller said. After becoming more acquainted with the staff and

shelter, she would like to provide more education to the public on topics such as having animals spayed or neutered, to deter population problems. Gfeller will receive aid from shelter employees and Assistant Director Forshia Poole.

Three families to be honored Sunday WALKER FAMILY David Walker wasn’t expecting to be honored when he and his wife, Sylvia, donated the East Chestnut Street roundabout statue and funds to the C.L. Hoover Opera House. “Those are the things that add the quality of life emphasis in the community,” David said in an interview. “I think it’s important for those who can to support the arts and the facilities that produce the arts.” On Sunday, the Walkers and two other families — the Waters and Rolfs families — will be honored by the Opera House Foundation for their contributions to the arts in Junction City. Walker said his family made their donations because “it’s important to give back to the community where you live.” When he donated the bronze Native American statue standing tall Please see Walker, 10A

Without many people in Junction City, the C.L. Hoover Opera House wouldn’t be the community’s center for the arts it is today. EJ and Eunice Rolfs had a large hand in the Opera House’s transformation. When those dreaming of the grand renovation realized they would encounter a space issue, the Rolfs donated the neighboring building. “For the thing to work, the project to work, there just weren’t enough square feet in the Opera House building to make it work,” EJ said in an interview with The Daily Union. So, the Rolfs made it work with their donation. “It’s all like one structure now,” Eunice said. To honor the Rolfs and their contribution, the Opera House Foundation will hold a ceremony and reception Sunday for the Rolfs and two other families — Please see Rolfs, 10A

Local businessman receives state honor B y T im Weideman

city.beat@thedailyunion.net Rico Steele’s quick success as a business owner has been noticed locally and now it has opened eyes on the state level. Since starting in September 2012, Rico Steele’s Martial Arts Academy, located at 908 Grant Ave., has grown from 20 students to more than 200. For that effort, the Kansas Department of Commerce Office of Minority and Women Business Development recently named Steele’s academy a Minority-Owned Business of the Year. Steele attended a ceremony in Topeka to receive his award, where his business and 15 others were recognized. “First of all, I’m just humbled by this,” Steele said in an interview with The Daily Union. “While my name is on everything, I don’t take full credit. I do give credit to my team.” Steele and his four employees teach a variety of martial arts styles, including Muay Thai and

Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Other programs include fitness circuit training and a program that focuses on child development, which Steele said he’s excited about. “It’s all about physical, intellectual, emotional and social development,” he said about the children’s program. Steele said his program differs from what children would learn from most other martial arts programs. “In some dojos, you learn a form, break a board, get a belt,” he said. “That may be OK for development inside the dojo, but that’s not necessarily creating leaders.” A former soldier stationed at Fort Riley, Steele said he’s received plenty of support from his connections made at the installation. Soldiers stationed at Fort Riley also have taken advantage of what the academy offers. “A lot of people express to me how much their PT score came up,” Steele said. “That’s how much better they feel, how much health-

invites individuals and organizations to nominate minority and women owned businesses in Kansas who exhibit outstanding achievements in their respective industries. Nominations are accepted in the spring through midsummer and winners are recognized at an awards luncheon in the fall.

Steele said he’s proud to have been one of the business owners recognized with an award. Most of the other award winners were from cities larger than Junction City. “For me, to compete with Topeka, Kansas City, Wichita, Salina — the bigger cities — I was just so blessed and honored,” Steele said.

A tactical game B y T im Weideman

city.beat@thedailyunion.net Instead of sending an officer to handle a suspicious package or approach a barricaded subject, Junction City police soon will have a tactical robot available for those types of situations. Earlier this week, the Junction City Commission approved the Junction City Police Department’s request to use $59,500 from Homeland Security Northeast Region to purchase the robot and other gear. “There is no cost to the Junction City taxpayer for the purchase of this,” Police Chief Tim Brown told commissioners. The Homeland Security Northeast Region Council allocated the funds for the department to purchase a tactical robot, WallBanger breaching system, and a full set of tactical body armor for a medic.

Police to receive robot to handle certain situations The JCPD, in cooperation with the Geary County Emergency Services Department, applied for the funding earlier this year. The robot, which could be used by the Junction City-Geary County SWAT Team in events involv-

ing hostage situations, barricaded subjects and suspicious packages, is the most expensive item at an estimated $51,000. The equipment would come at no cost to the city and the JCPD would have full ownership.

However, while the JCPD would own the equipment, it also would have to enter an agreement to provide the items to other Kansas law enforcement agencies if requested. The JCPD then would have to pay for transportation and officer overtime if another agency requests to use the equipment. “If we had to respond, one of our officers is trained on this device, so yes we would (cover that cost),” Brown said. But Brown added the purchase still will benefit Junction City because the department will rely on the new technology in future situations. He said the robot and other items would have been useful in recent events, including a domestic incident several weeks ago involving a barricaded subject. “Overall, I think this is a winwin situation for the county-wide area,” he said.

Hiring fair Tuesday Manhattan man dies in crash FORT RILEY — Job seekers in the Fort Riley community will have the opportunity to attend a fall hiring fair from 2 to 6 p.m. Oct. 22 at Riley’s Conference Center, 446 Seitz Dr. on Main Post. “This is a golden opportunity for somebody who is looking to make a face-toface connection with an employer,” said Jeff Reade, program manager, Employment Readiness Program, Army Community Service, Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation. More than 50 employers are expected to be available during the event, Reade said, including several of which will be prepared to conduct on-site interviews and possibly hire the right candidate on the spot. Big Lakes Developmental Center, Inc., Century Link, Wildcat Constructions Co.,

Reade recommended that attendees dress in business casual attire and bring many versions of their resume with them to the hiring fair. “The wise (hiring) fair attendee is going to preview the list of who will be there, visit their websites, perhaps target or tweak their resume to showcase how their skills are a match to a particular opening or company and have that version of their resume ready for that particular employer,” he said. “Job seekers should plan on spending some time networking.

Obama, Congress at odds over Iran sanctions relief

B y B radley K lapper and M atthew L ee

Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is weighing whether to offer Iran the chance to recoup billions of dollars in frozen overseas assets if it takes steps to scale back its nuclear program, U.S. officials and congressional aides said Friday. The proposal would face a skeptical Congress determined to make the end of Tehran’s uranium enrichment activity the condition for any sanctions relief. The brainstorming comes after two days of nuclear negotiations between Iran and world powers ended this week in Geneva. The talks — the first since Iranian President Hassan Rouhani took office — ended on an upbeat note although it fell short of specific and concrete commitments by Iran to stop enriching uranium or ship out its stockpiles of higher-enriched uranium. The proposal is one of several under consideration to spur negotiations to ensure Tehran can’t produce atomic weapons. Enriching uranium can produce material for peaceful energy purposes or nuclear arms. Under the plan being weighed, Iran would be able to access money from oil sales overseas that it currently can only barter with because of U.S. and international sanctions. Senate aides put the total between $50 billion and $75 billion. It’s not clear what Iran would have to do in return to prompt the Obama administration to allow banks to release the money. The premise behind providing Iran with cold cash is that opening and shutting such a valve would be far easier than beginning to take apart years of complicated, international financial and oil sanctions that would also be difficult to put back together if Iran failed to live up to the bargain. Finding a formula for sanctions relief is important if President Barack Obama is going to be able to offer the Iranians good reason to be open about their nuclear program before they reach the point of nuclear weapons capability. A nucleararmed Iran could prompt a U.S. or Israeli military intervention. “Iran will have to agree to meaningful, transparent and verifiable actions before we can seriously consider taking steps to ease sanctions,” White House spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan said. Meehan and State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki declined to comment on specific types of sanctions relief, calling such questions “premature and speculative.” Officials who confirmed the cash reserves approach weren’t authorized to speak publicly on the matter and demanded anonymity.

Associated Press

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif briefs the media Wednesday after the two days of closed-door nuclear talks, during a press conference at the CICG, in Geneva, Switzerland. Congress is already weighing in. Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois, a key proponent of Iran sanctions, plans to introduce an amendment to a new package of international restrictions on commerce with Iran that would seek to provide the administration with more sticks and carrots for talks through Iran’s cash reserves, a Senate aide said. Kirk’s plan would freeze any remaining assets overseas that Iran can still access by threatening to cut off from the U.S. market any foreign banks that continue doing business with Iran. At the same time, it would also give Obama the flexibility to allow Iran to access some of the money it can only use for limited purposes today, said the Senate aide, who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly on the pending legislation and demanded anonymity. There’s a catch, however. Kirk’s legislation would allow Iran to get the money only if it agrees to end all uranium enrichment and reprocessing, activities that even Rouhani’s new reformist government has vowed to continue. Iran insists its program is solely for peaceful energy production and appears unlikely to accept such an offer. Thus, the proposed legislation may actually constrict the administration’s negotiating ability rather than give it more leeway.

“Now is a time to strengthen, not weaken, U.S. and international sanctions,” Kirk and fellow Republican Sens. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said in a statement. “The U.S. should not suspend new sanctions, nor consider releasing limited frozen assets, before Tehran suspends its nuclear enrichment activities.” The strategy to leverage Iran’s cash reserves is the brainchild of Mark Dubowitz, executive director of the hawkish Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. Dubowitz, who often advises Congress and the administration on sanctions policy, said the strategy offers the administration an easy way to raise or ease pressure on Iran. “If Iran were to cheat in fulfilling any of its obligations, the quarantine would be re-imposed,” Dubowitz said. He contrasted his idea with the tactics employed earlier this year by the Obama administration, which, he said, offered Iran a major concession allowing Iran to sell petroleum abroad in exchange for gold. “It ended up permitting Iran to earn billions of dollars in gold in exchange for no nuclear concessions,” Dubowtiz said.

day, demands in Congress grew for a speedy escalation in sanctions. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., introduced a Senate resolution calling for more pressure, echoing a statement by six Democratic and four Republican senators insisting that Iran end all uranium enrichment activity. That demand could put them at odds with Obama, who has recognized Iran’s right to nuclear energy as recently as September, when he spoke to Rouhani by phone. Obama, however, hasn’t said enrichment is acceptable in Iran, as Tehran demands. The issue remains a key one for international negotiators to resolve. The sanctions debate is likely to continue between Congress and the administration ahead of another round of Iranian nuclear talks in November and in the months ahead. The Senate Banking Committee is expected to take up a new sanctions package soon, largely mirroring a House bill that passed by a 400-20 vote in July. It seeks to blacklist Iran’s mining and construction sectors and calls for all Iranian oil sales to end by 2015. The Senate’s bill may narrow that timeframe, block international investment in more economic sectors, try to close off Iran’s foreign accounts and tighten Obama’s ability to waive requirements for allies and key trading partners who continue to do business with Iran, according to an aide involved in the process.

Nigeria’s military killing thousands of detainees Associated Press

LAGOS, Nigeria — Shedding stark light on Nigeria’s escalating war with Islamic militants, mortuary records from a single Nigerian hospital show the number of detainees who died in military custody more than tripled in June, the first month of a state of emergency in the troubled northeast region. Overall, the records obtained by The Associated Press for the nine months from Oct. 5 to July 5 indicate that the military is killing thousands in its crackdown on the uprising in northeast Nigeria. The records cover just one hospital, Sani Abacha Specialist Teaching Hospital in Maiduguri, the birthplace of Boko Haram, the movement fighting to uproot Western cultural influences from a country shared almost equally by Muslims and Christians. In the 30 days before the state of emergency was declared on May 14, 380 bodies were delivered to the hospital by the military. In the 30 days after, the number was 1,321. For the whole of June, the number was 1,795, making it the worst month in the records seen by the AP, which has also witnessed many of the bodies being delivered to the hospital in military ambulances, escorted by armored cars.

The figure is much larger than the estimated number of Boko Haram fighters. Nigerian government and military officials have refused to comment, and it’s impossible to know how many of the dead had Boko Haram connections. But Nigerian law stipulates that even under a state of emergency, detainees are supposed to be brought before a magistrate within 48 hours and to have access to lawyers and family members. A pastor said he was held at Maiduguri’s Giwa Military Barracks after he and four other people were arrested because weapons were found hidden in the shoe factory where he works. He described hundreds of naked people crammed into a cell meant for a couple of dozen. Once a day, he said, a soldier would throw a loaf of moistened bread into the cell to be brawled over. Some died of torture, he said. He told the AP he was freed with the intervention of a Christian group, and his jailers’ recognizing his prayers for salvation as Christian. He requested anonymity fearing military retaliation. Amnesty International reported this week that hundreds are dying in detention: some taken from the cells and shot, some dying of suffocation or starvation.

From the Editor’s desk Failing us all, future in trouble

as it just me or did you all have a sickening feeling when Congress on Wednesday voted to end the federal government shutdown and raise the debt ceiling? As lawmakers shook each other’s hands, I wondered what type of reaction that was. Sure, it is important federal workers were headed back to work and would be paid. However, our “leaders” ultimately did nothing. They restarted a government they closed to begin with and then raised a debt ceiling that with real solutions shouldn’t require raising. They basically put a tiny band aid on a gushing wound and proceeded to act like they saved a life. As this was happening, all I could picture in my head was that huge ticking debt clock they show on some of the cable news networks, adding thousands of dollars every second heading to the $17 trillion national debt. L isa The thought of it right now makes S eiser me queasy again. Not that long ago, we were talking about exceeding the debt ceiling at $14 trillion. It seems we are riding on a runaway train toward a place that could be unrecoverable. What is that number we can’t recover from? $20,000,000,000,000? $30,000,000,000,000? Is our current $16,700,000,000,000, the number? None of us knows that, but we do know nothing is being done to stop it, slow it down or change the direction of that speeding train. It seems as though our “leaders” use Obamacare, the federal government shutdown and other fights about less important issues to fog our minds from the comprehension of these debt numbers and the importance of them. Maybe many Americans are just overwhelmed by the figures or now just numb to seeing and hearing them so often. But something must happen and it must occur soon. It’s difficult to not look at your own personal finances when gazing at the national debt. How many of you have had parties or celebrations when you paid off that mortgage, student loan or credit card? I have. It is a freeing feeling that is difficult to explain. Of course being debt free as a nation is an unattainable goal, but living within our means is not. Deficit and debt reduction should not be dirty words at our highest level of government. Just like in our households if there’s not enough money that month or year, spending must be reduced — sometimes significantly. It also means a second job or a part-time gig might be necessary to bring in more money. Our government leaders rarely work or think that way. But soon there will come a time when there is no choice, for the future of the Republic is at stake. That may be sooner than a lot of people think. Call it pessimism — I call it reality. All it takes is a glance at that scary ticking debt clock that never stops increasing in big chunks. So, the recent hand shaking and pats on the back in Washington should only happen when we have truly started on a path to solve our debt problem. Raising the ceiling to allow more debt was and is not an answer. I just hope all those in Washington realize our overall freedom as a nation and as individuals is in their hands. And continuing on the path from the other night won’t save us. It’s time for Congress to start really doing its job.

Subsidized cell phone service helps poor find work

irst, let’s start by laying to rest a myth: There is no such thing as an “Obama phone.” The federal program that provides free phone service to the nation’s poorest residents dates back to the administration of Ronald Reagan. Over the years, the biggest change has been to allow the program, called “Lifeline,” to provide limited-use cellphones as well as old-fashioned land lines. That update came in 2005, when Obama was serving in the U.S. Senate. And it makes sense to provide lowcost cellphones. Not only have mobile telephones become a ubiquitous and necessary feature of modern life, but the technology is now comparatively cheap. Lifeline pays for up to 250 minutes a month, and wireless carriers usually provide the beneficiary a barebones mobile phone — not an iPhone with apps. Still, some political conservatives have held on to the idea that giving poor and working-class people cellphones is not just wasteful and extravagant, but also downright morally suspect. In Georgia, the Public Service Commission has registered its disapproval by voting to charge beneficiaries $5 for Lifeline service even though it was designed to be free. When critics noted that the new rule will provide yet another budgetary hurdle for the financially strapped, PSC Commissioner Doug Everett, who sponsored the $5 fee, seethed with contempt: “You’re taking money now from some of the poorest people in the world and giving it to other people that have not worked for it,” he said, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. That neatly encapsulates the world view held by many ultraconservatives,

cynthia tucker Commentary who also view food stamps, the earnedincome tax credit and, of course, health care as a sop to the infamous “47 percent” who refuse to lift a finger to help themselves. Everett has also claimed that the $5 fee, which will go to telecom companies, is necessary to prevent fraud in the Lifeline program. But he has not said how it would do so. In fact, the Federal Communications Commission, which oversees the service, tightened requirements last year after investigations found that the program was rife with fraud. The scams were perpetrated not only by individual beneficiaries but also by giant telecom companies, who are paid a $9.25 monthly subsidy for each Lifeline customer. Among other remedies, the FCC ended a $30-a-month subsidy to phone companies for each new connection, saying it gave them a “perverse” incentive to sign up ineligible beneficiaries. The agency has also proposed millions in fines against five wireless carriers for allegedly cheating the Lifeline program. Additionally, it mandated stricter tests for income eligibility. Since the new rules were put in place, the number of beneficiaries has dropped dramatically. (Experts say an improving economy also contributed, rendering fewer people eligible.) So why not wait to see whether the FCC’s new rules prevent abuse? Could

Zombie nation W hen I first heard folks discussing “The Walking Dead,” I thought they were talking about Congress. But no, it was zombies. The undead. Flesh-eating creatures. Bodies that do harm. The nation of Haiti embraced the zombie legend a long time ago. In fact, there’s an old Bela Lugosi movie about that called “White Zombie.” Apparently, in the voodoo culture, you can get a curse put on you and rise from the dead. Or something. This voodoo stuff is not easy to assess. Way back in the late 1960s, a movie director named George Romero put out a film called “Night of the Living Dead.” I remember seeing it and thinking, “What the heck was that?” Romero set his zombie hordes in Pittsburgh, and they ran around cannibalizing Pirates fans. Nobody was quite sure how these zombies came to be — something about a comet — but they were nasty. They were also slow. If you were in shape, you could taunt the zombies and run away. Of course, there’s always the “I tripped over something” factor, and so many zombie-taunters got their “just desserts,” so to speak. Anyway, now we have a cable TV series that attracted more than 16 million viewers last Sunday: “The Walking Dead.” Most of the viewers were ages 18 to 49. Apparently, younger Americans love this zombie stuff. Earlier this year, they flocked to see Brad Pitt fight

Bill O’reilly Commentary the undead in “World War Z.” I missed the film, but heard it was so intense that Brad’s hair got mussed up on at least three occasions. Zombies generally have bad hair. In fact, their entire grooming routine is sorely lacking because they have no interest in anything other than eating the flesh of human beings. No, you don’t have to be a lawyer to be a zombie. Over the years, horror movies have become increasingly graphic, and the zombie surge exploits that. Vampires only bite you on the neck. Zombies are buffet people. No limits on the intake. Also, various monsters such as The Wolfman and Frankenstein’s creature often had a soft side. Before Lon Chaney Jr. became a hungry wolf, he confessed to a nice gypsy woman that the whole thing was not his fault, and he regretted ever having to see a full moon. You almost felt sorry for Lon — until, of course, he disassembled some guy walking through a mist-shrouded forest in the middle of nowhere. Zombies could never show a soft side

it be that animus toward those perceived as “undeserving” has more to do with Everett’s $5 fee than any real desire to quash fraud? After all, some forms of fraud seem to agitate conservatives more than others. Critics of the Lifeline program, which is funded by an average fee of $2.50 a month per household for most telephone customers, always target individual abusers, not the telephone companies who eagerly flouted the rules to make a profit. (Ironically, telecom companies don’t want Georgia’s PSC to initiate a $5 fee, fearing that it will drive off some poor customers. CTIA-The Wireless Association, a national trade group representing wireless companies, plans to appeal the PSC’s decision.) Here’s another irony: If conservatives want the able-bodied poor to work, they ought to be helping them to get cellphones, which they need for employment. Dominic Heard, a program director at Crossroads Community Ministries, an Atlanta charity, says his homeless clients need cellphones “greatly.” “The main thing is ... whenever a person applies for a job, they need a callback number. ... Five dollars may not seem like a lot, but a lot of our clients have no income,” he said. If the PSC meant to ensure that they will never have any income, it carried out its plan well.

to a gypsy woman. They would eat her before any conversation could start. There is no reasoning with zombies. As our cliche-ridden society says: They are what they are! But we Americans apparently like the zombie culture very much. Somehow, we identify with humans like Brad Pitt slaying as many zombies as possible. By the way, that’s legal. Zombies have no protections under the law. And liberal Americans do not object to using heavy weapons to kill the undead. Assault weapons are fine as long as you undergo a background check. But that policy can be waived if the zombies are actually rampaging through your house. As a positive person, I am not on the zombie bandwagon. Too much angst. I believe that when you die you go either to heaven or hell — not to cable TV. But that’s just me. Millions of my fellow citizens obviously see it differently. To them I say: Boo!

News from around Kansas Associated Press

Appeals court to allow MGP stockholders meeting ATCHISON — The fractured board of directors of MGP Ingredients in Atchison can hold a longdelayed stockholders meeting, which had been put off by a fight over the company’s future, the Kansas Court of Appeals ruled. The appeals court this week lifted a stay it had placed on the stockholders meeting in August. The meeting will be allowed as of Tuesday, although no meeting has been scheduled. The court did not set a deadline for scheduling the meeting. Six MGP board members and the company’s President and CEO, Tim Newkirk, are trying to sell at least part of the company. Two other board members, Cloud Cray Jr. and Karen Seaberg, who have ties to the company’s founders, want to remove Newkirk and replace two board members. Cray and Seaberg represent the Cray Voting Trust, which has more than 90 percent of preferred stock and almost 30 percent of common stock. That faction has started a proxy fight with the other six board members. They contend selling the company, or part of the company, would not be in stockholders’ best interest. A previous meeting scheduled for May 23 was adjourned for lack of a quorum. Atchison County District Court Judge Robert Bednar’s ruled in July that the company must schedule a board meeting and it was set for Aug. 23. The stay was granted on Aug. 22 so the appeals court could review the case. In unofficial results before the scheduled August meeting, nearly 80 percent of common stockholders supported the Cray Group on most issues, including the replacement of board chairman John Speirs. The stockholders can’t officially vote until a meeting is held.

Sheriff Jeff Easter says the plane split apart before hitting the ground Friday morning and pieces of human remains were found. He says it is not clear how many people were on the plane. The sheriff says witnesses saw pieces falling off the plane as it came down. The plane was headed to Wichita’s Mid-Continent Airport. Investigators with the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are on their way to the scene.

Lawrence JournalWorld to outsource its printing LAWRENCE — The Kansas City Star is taking over printing the Lawrence Journal-World.

The Lawrence newspaper reports that its parent company, The World Company, announced Thursday that the current production plant will close in January, eliminating 33 jobs. The World Company copresidents, Dan Simons and Dolph C. Simons III, said several factors led to the change. One is that The Gannett Company has notified The World Company it will end its 30-year USA Today printing relationship with the Journal-World in January. The statement says the changes aren’t expected to affect the newspaper’s delivery. The World Company’s four weekly newspapers — The Shawnee Dispatch, Tonganoxie Mirror, Baldwin City Signal and the Chieftain of Basehor and Bonner Springs — will be printed at The Examiner

FBI investigating threat to 4 cities’ water system WICHITA — The FBI is investigating a threat against water systems in four Midwestern cities, including Wichita, but a spokeswoman for the agency said none of the threats have been substantiated. The Wichita Eagle reported Friday that it had obtained an internal city email asking employ-

ees to be on the lookout over the next 30 days for anything hooked to a fire hydrant. A second email advised plumbers to call police if they see someone they don’t recognize “messing with a fire hydrant or vent pipe.” Citing the need to avoid causing a public panic over unsubstantiated threats, FBI spokeswoman Bridget Patton declined to confirm how many cities’ water supplies were threatened or to identify those that were, other than to say they were in the Midwest.

But she stressed that investigators had visited the cities’ water supply facilities as a precaution. “Whenever threats of this nature come in, the actions we’ve taken when made aware of the threat, we’ve reached out to area law enforcement and notified them of the threat,” Patton said. Van Williams, a spokesman for the city of Wichita, told the newspaper that security in the city’s water system is being increased after an unspecified terrorist threat. He added that the city’s water is safe to drink.

Workouts against Breast Cancer Curves, the largest fitness club chain in the world for women and a leader in the weight management category, recently announced that in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, residents in Junction City are invited to purchase a $10 punch card for 10 workouts at Curves with proceeds going to Breast Cancer Research. The 10 workouts can be done in honor of someone who has battled breast cancer and a poster will be up in the Club for each participant to sign as a way to show community support.

The famous 30-minute Curves Circuit features a full body workout with strength training and cardio. “The Curves mission is to strengthen women and this promotion helps us do just that,” says Rosemarie Norris, owner Curves of Junction City. “The punch card is a fun way for women to get involved and help punch out cancer, but it also gives us the opportunity to teach the importance of exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy weight. After all, 30 minutes of ’me’ time is always a good thing.”

“Women are always looking for new, unique ways to help make a difference in the fight against breast cancer. The Curves 10-Workout Punch Card is a great way to not only donate money to a special cause, but it is also a fun way to help improve your own personal health,” said Mike Raymond, vice president of marketing for Curves International, Inc. “Breast cancer continues to be among the most common cancer for women worldwide. We are honored to be aiding in the fight.” This offer is limited to one

Twitter said earlier this week that it had chosen to list with the NYSE over rival Nasdaq. The micro-blogging service is expected to go public sometime in November, possibly before Thanksgiving.

NEW YORK — The New York Stock Exchange isn’t taking any chances with Twitter’s initial public offering. The Big Board said Friday it would allow trading firms to conduct a dry run of their systems to prepare for Twitter’s IPO. The exchange seems to want to avoid the technical problems that marred Facebook’s debut on the Nasdaq Stock

Man dated ‘Carol,’ she now has kids Dear Annie: I dated “Carol” for more than eight years. I loved her and wanted to marry her. The problem was her children (now aged 37 and 42), who have not grown up to be mature adults. Carol knew from the beginning that if we ever broke up, it would be because of them. I spent every weekend with her. The kids had a tendency to go through my personal belongings when we were on a date and when we slept. I had to hide my checkbook, wallet, truck and house keys. Her kids still live there and put forth zero effort to make it on their own. They have no interest in facing the realities of life and simply sponge off their mother. They don’t realize that when Mom passes away (one of these days), they will have to face what they’ve been avoiding for years. Her kids are nothing more than liars and thieves. I loved Carol very much, and they destroyed our relationship. I am hoping she will see my letter. — Anonymous Dear Anonymous: We hope you realize that it is Carol who bears most of the responsibility for permitting this behavior from her children. If she truly wanted them out of the house, they would be out. Parents do a grave disservice to their children when they encourage such dependence. It is both selfish and lazy parenting. And Carol’s children seem particularly untrustworthy, as well. Yes, they will have difficulty when she can no longer provide for them, but we worry about what could happen to Carol should she become ill or infirm. Those kids are unlikely to put their mother’s welfare above their own interests. We recommend you give her the number for Adult Protective Services in your state (neac.aoa.gov or call the Eldercare Locator at 1-800-677-1116). She may need it someday. Dear Annie: My husband and I are very social and have several groups of friends. Lately, one of these friends has started to make every get-together a potluck. Even for special occasions such as birthdays, the hostess asks each guest to bring a food item. Many times, she actually assigns dishes. I’m starting to dread these invitations. What happened to throwing a party and providing

Most of these friends are in their 50s and 60s, and most live quite comfortably, so it’s not as if they cannot afford to host. I know I have the option of not accepting the invitations, but we enjoy the company, and I hate to miss the social activity. Am I being a scrooge, or is this trend rather tacky? — Fed Up with Potluck Dear Fed Up: Yes, it is tacky to “host” a party and expect others to provide the refreshments, unless this is agreed upon in advance. However, your friends’ financial situation may be less rosy than you think, and one way to hide this while still entertaining friends is to make everything potluck. If you enjoy these get-togethers, you may as well play along, although you might offer a dish you actually want to bring. Dear Annie: I’d like to say one more word in favor of adult children calling their parents daily. One size does not fit all. Three years ago, I found out I have terminal cancer, and at about the same time, my husband left me after 31 years of marriage. After my husband left, my father, for whom I’d been caregiver for four years, passed away. My adult daughter lives in the same city, and we speak daily. My married adult son lives about 1,000 miles away, and we speak, text or email every few days. My daughter’s daily calls became my saving grace. Without our conversations and constant closeness, I may not have had the drive to battle my disease and continue on as I have. — Jacksonville, Fla.

Horoscope ARIES (March 21—April 19). There are times when you patently disagree with the role that life is trying to cast you in. These are moments of choice. You can always politely decline. And don’t worry — life will find someone else to cast in that role! TAURUS (April 20—May 20). For every sweet, there’s a sour to balance out the taste and keep everyone from going into sugar shock. That’s why you take a bit of negativity in stride. Being too good all of the time is boring! GEMINI (May 21—June 21). Your energy level will be higher than usual, and you may find it difficult to control. If you find yourself feeling anxious with nothing to pin it on, consider taking it as a sign that you really need a break. CANCER (June 22—July 22). Deciding whom to befriend and/or love is one of the most impactful decisions you can make. Don’t go haphazardly into relationships. It’s best when your head and heart work in tandem. LEO (July 23—Aug. 22). A high profile comes with a high level of responsibility. Right now, it’s a burdensome reality. In the future, you may decide to slip under the radar so no one will bother you. VIRGO (Aug. 23—Sept. 22). You want to do work that contributes beauty to the world, but you also want to make money. The two desires may not seem to easily mesh, but work at it a bit longer. There is a way to fulfill both wants. LIBRA (Sept. 23—Oct. 23). You have a

joyful spirit, and therefore the world seems more interesting to you. Whatever you focus on, you awaken the joyful soul resting inside of that person, place or thing. SCORPIO (Oct. 24—Nov. 21). People say that time changes things. It seems to you that you’re the one changing things, and time is greedily taking all of the credit. That’s why you’re justified in pointing out exactly what you’ve done. Don’t forget to take a bow. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22—Dec. 21). Your instincts are good, so you need to trust them. Act when the impulse is fiery inside you —— and don’t wait for it to cool, or your action may as well not have been executed at all. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22—Jan. 19). One does not have to be experienced to possess a radiant intelligence. Today’s wisdom comes from the mouths of babes. Of course, it’s your expert interpretation that makes it especially relevant. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20—Feb. 18). When someone you don’t particularly respect becomes successful, it’s too easy to write it off as good luck. But look deeper into the methods and strategies, and you could become a serious competitor. PISCES (Feb. 19—March 20). Knowing what you believe can be limiting. Besides, how can you know for sure until you’re tested? You may prefer to leave your mind open to the possibilities, if only because it’s easier given your current circumstance.

Oct. 15 was designated “Pink Day” at St. Xavier School, and students and staff wore their pink proudly. As a service project, the girls wanted to help a local resident who has been battling breast cancer. Proceeds from the sale of the shirts were to help with some of the expenses involved when dealing with a major illness. The team was thrilled to have the recipient of the proceeds, Estre Lita Rogers, in attendance at their volleyball match on Oct. 15.

Troop 41 Boy Scouts attend Fall Camporee

Orchestra night

Submitted Photo

Thirteen Boy Scouts and two leaders of Troop 41 attended the Fall Camporee at Farnum Creek, on Milford Lake. The scouts in the photo had just finished hiking about three hours to their first station, which was emergency survival. Other events the scouts did was map reading, GPS and compass reading, first aid, ropes and knot tying, primitive fire building, trapping and snares, and wilderness lifesaving. The weather was cold and the Scouts experienced wind gusts of 40 mph, as well as plenty of rain Friday night. The theme of the three day campout was “Scouts vs. Wild,” and the title fit their experience. The scouts learned a tremendous amount of wilderness skills, as well as how to camp in very difficult weather. One of the purposes of scouting is to make scouts rugged individuals able to rely on themselves under all conditions, and to always “Be Prepared.” Pictured (from left}: Luke Craft, Chase Ruffley, Mike Ford, James Butler, Fernando Rivera, Beowulf Mitchell, Trent McKinney, Andrew Rich, Joseph Trussell, Victor Meijas, Charles Rich, Asa Englehardt, Griffin Powers, and Robert Webb.

Foundation event Sunday

Rolfs

The Junction City C.L. Hoover Opera House Foundation will hold a ceremony and reception Oct. 20 to honor the Waters, Rolfs, and Walker families for their contributions to the arts and the Junction City community. The ceremony will be held at the Opera House at 3 p.m., prior to a performance by award-winning follk musicians, Connie Dover and Kelly Werts. “The Opera House receives support from the city, county and the Geary County Convention and Visitors Bureau,” foundation board member Richard Pinaire said. “In addition, we receive private support from individuals and we wanted to recognize people from the community that have given private support both to the Opera House and other significant improvements to the community.” Following the performance, the foundation will host a reception for the families.

Continued from Page 1A the Waters and Walker families. The Rolfs have been involved with the Opera House and its associated organizations for years. “I’ve been a member of the Junction City Little Theater for many, many years,” Eunice said. “We do a lot to bring more art and productions to Junction City.” EJ was one of the people involved when discussions of renovating the Opera House gained traction in the community several years ago. At first, the repairs began with the clock that now has become one of Junction City’s identifying landmarks. “We made some emergency repairs (to the clock),” EJ said. “There were several of these little

quickies and it became quickly obvious that we had to have a complete renovation — big bucks. So it took more money, but as soon as you think about it taking more money, you wonder if there’s going to be a building under it to hold the clock up.” But, with the help from families like the Rolfs, the community was able to make its dreams of what the Opera House could be

EJ said the Opera House’s renovation represents Junction City’s strong passion for the arts. “I think the community’s always been interested in the arts,” he said. “The tastes of the community have changed, but there’s always been an emphasis on the arts of one type or another and it has changed from year to year.”

Maila Yang, co-chair of this year’s award and Marketing and Communication Manager for the Kansas City Kansas Convention & Visitors Bureau, Inc., said it’s a great way to recognize the efforts of various TIAK tourism organizations in Kansas. “We are proud of what Kansas has to offer to

tourist, and we are always looking for ways to learn from each other and highlight each other’s work as we attract visitors to Kansas,” Yang said.

WIC checks will be issued

TOPEKA — With the federal government shutdown ended, the local WIC clinics can resume normal check issuance. The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women Infants and Children (WIC) is a federally funded program administered in Kansas by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, through local health departments. WIC provides nutrition education, breastfeeding support and supplemental, nutritious foods to low-income families. About 1,500 clients are served in Geary County. Through the WIC system, local vendors Dilllons and Walmart received almost $1.5 million in 2012. While October WIC checks were not

Walker above traffic in the East Chestnut Street roundabout a couple years ago, Walker said he wanted the exit off Interstate 70 to look nice as people drive into Junction City. “When (the city) decided to put a roundabout in that area, I thought it would be a nice addition to one of the entrances of the city to have a quality piece of art in the roundabout,” Walker said. The statue is a spin-off of one Walker said he enjoyed visiting with his father. He said his father would take him around to see the sights

at several places in the Geary County countryside. “One of them was a concrete statue of an Indian overlooking the south hill of Logan Grove,” Walker said. “I always thought that was a neat idea.” Among other contributions they’ve made to arts in the area, the Walkers on Sunday will be recognized for one that’s helped make the Opera House the rejuvenated facility it’s become today. “We made a donation to the Opera House, so they named the reception area after us,” Walker said. “They asked me if I would allow my name to be put on the lobby area and we agreed that

would be OK.” But Walker pointed out his family wasn’t the only one that has helped restore the facility. “I’m sure there were people that gave a lot more than we did,” he said. Though Walker said he takes more of a backseat role, his wife Sylvia still is involved in Opera House functions and in the Junction City arts scene. They enjoy giving back to the community they love, David said. “It’s an interesting place to live — plus it’s halfway to everywhere,” he said. “I’ve traveled all over the world and I don’t think I’ve found a better place I’d want to live.”

Through the work of Administrative Assistant Dottie Kell, the CVB received the Speedy Gonzales award for placing their 2013 Kansas Travel Guide listings on the state’s website, www. travelks.com, faster than any other bureau. “It makes me very proud that I can have the Junction City-Geary Count Convention Visitors Bureau shine like that at a state conference,” Kell said about the award from Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks

and Tourism. Kell’s work consisted of placing hundreds of attractions and events on the website and learning the ins and out of the system, which had glitches at certain periods of time. “I didn’t know I was going that fast, I was just trying to get the work done,” Kell said. CVB Executive Director Connie Hall said it shows that the local tourism and visitors organization is a team.

“They recognize the CVB, but it truly goes to Dottie,” Hall said. Kell constantly updates five different websites throughout the state of Kansas. Hall said There’s not a day, where Dottie is not tracking websites. “She’s very dedicated to making sure the information is out and that it’s correct,” Hall said. “Visitors go to these website for attractions and they want accuracy.”

WR Roddy White to miss first game of his career

Atlanta Falcons receiver Roddy White will miss the first game of his nine-year career on Sunday. The four-time Pro Bowl selection was one of three starters listed as out on Friday’s injury report. White, Atlanta’s career-leading receiver, played the first five games with a sore left hamstring, catching only 14 passes for 129 yards. He hurt his right ankle in a Week 5 loss to the New York Jets and hasn’t practiced since. Atlanta (1-4) lost Pro Bowl wideout Julio Jones to seasonending foot surgery in the same game. Jones led the NFL in catches and ranked second in yards receiving at the time. Running back Steven Jackson (hamstring) and left tackle Sam Baker (knee) will not play against Tampa Bay (0-5). Starting middle linebacker Akeem Dent (knee) is questionable.

American midfielder Michael Bradley has recovered from a sprained left ankle and was dressed for Roma’s 2-0 win over Napoli in Serie A on Friday night. Bradley warmed up along the sideline during the second half but did not get into the game. He injured the ankle Sept. 6 during warmups before the United States’ 3-1 loss at Costa Rica in a World Cup qualifier. Roma (8-0) matched the longest winning streak at the start of a Serie A season, set by Juventus in 1930-31 and matched by the Bianconeri in 1985-86. Juventus won nine straight to start 200506, but its title was stripped in the “calciopoli” match-fixing scandal.

State title reunion

Five members of the 2008 Junction City football team that won the class 6A state championship game sat around a table in the high school cafeteria. It was just minutes after the current team’s win against Washburn Rural Friday night. Each player was clad in his home jersey, with Blue Jays written right across the chest and a gaudy championship ring on his finger. Much like the many lunches they ate in the cafeteria years earlier, laughter continuously erupted from the table when the subject of their

favorite memory from the season was brought up. Justin Irvine, Jeff Childs, Nathan Cozlowski, Jacob Wright and Brandon Martino kept insisting the moment that stands out most was when Delaney Cortez was trucked by Hayden’s T.J. McGreevy on an interception return. One of them shouted out to a passing Ty Zimmerman about the hit, to which he replied, “which one” as the table broke out in laughEthan Padway • The Daily Union’ ter once again.

Running roughshot over Rural Junction City scores 35 unanswered to top Washburn Rural in it’s first district game E than P adway

sports.beat@thedailyunion.net With time waning in the first half, Washburn Rural once again shamelessly moved down the field against the Junction City football team. The Blue Jays trailed 21-14, and Rural looked poised to punch it in again and go into the locker room with a 14-point lead. Junior Blues quarterback Blake Peterson threw a pass toward his tight end in the middle of the field deep in the red zone. But sophomore defensive back Raye Wilson undercut the route, stealing the ball away from Rural at the 6-yard line. Wilson then zipped upfield. Senior defensive back Eli Lamberty threw his body into a Rural player to clear the path for Wilson to out race everyone else on the field for a 94-yard touchdown. With that, the Junction City sideline erupted with life. The Blue Jays continued to ride the wave of momentum into the second half, ripping off

35 unanswered points before escaping with a 42-35 victory. “I knew I had to do it for the seniors,” Wilson said standing in the end zone following the game. “This is senior night, last home game. I played with these guys last year too as a freshman, I had to do it for them.” Junction City received a lucky bounce and recovered a muffed punt to open the second half. Then the Blue Jays’ threeheaded rushing attack of seniors Jerma’l Campbell, Dequan Davis and Sean Gustad went to work. The offensive line wore down Rural’s defense before quarterback Will Ervin faked a handoff to Campbell before giving it to Davis on the end around. Davis, who showed an excellent ability to run to daylight all evening, made one sharp cut before racing 25-yards for the touchdown to give Junction City its first lead of the night at 28-21. The Blue Jays’ defense followed it up by forcing Rural off the field in a three-and-out, Please see Football, 4B

Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Every time Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith is flushed from the pocket, it seems that one of two things happens: He uses his fleet feet to scramble for yards, or he throws the ball away.

I appreciate that,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “We’re winning football games and he’s doing a nice job of managing it, and everyone feeds off it, both sides of the ball, his ability to manage it.” The Chiefs knew they weren’t getting Peyton Manning or Tom Brady when they shipped a pair of draft picks to the 49ers to acquire Smith in the offsea-

son. But they also knew they were getting a quarterback who would value possessions and minimize mistakes. In short, they wanted a quarterback who was selfless. Smith is only under contract through next season. It would behoove him to start putting up the kind of gaudy statistics that might earn him a lucrative new contract. Instead, he’s content to throw the ball away at the expense of his own completion percentage, which is at Please see Chiefs, 3B

Cardinals rough up Kershaw, headed to World Series B y R.B. F allstrom

AP Sports Writer ST. LOUIS — Carlos Beltran, Michael Wacha and the St. Louis Cardinals are going to the World Series — not even Clayton Kershaw could stop them this year. Beltran and the Cardinals stunned the Dodgers’ ace with a four-run third inning, Wacha was again magnificent on the mound and St. Louis advanced to its second World Series in three seasons by roughing up the Los Angeles Dodgers 9-0 in Game 6 of the NL championship series Friday night. Wacha, a rookie, was selected MVP of the series after throwing 13 2-3 scoreless innings and beating Kershaw twice in the NLCS. Matt Carpenter sparked St. Louis’ big third inning with a one-out double on the 11th pitch of his at-bat. Beltran singled him home and the Cardinals quickly removed all the suspense surrounding a team that squandered a 3-1 series lead in the NLCS last fall against San Francisco. “I’m so happy right now. We did it as a team,” Beltran said. “We fought hard, we worked hard all season long and thank God we’re here.” Game 1 of the World Series is Wednesday at the winner of the ALCS between the Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers. The Cardinals won their 19th NL pennant and will be trying for their third title since 2006, last winning in 2011. The glamorous Dodgers, with the second-highest payroll in baseball at $220 million, failed to reach the World Series for the first time since winning it all in 1988. After losing Game 5 in Los Angeles, the Cardinals turned to Wacha once again. The right-hander was even better in outpitching Kershaw for the second time this series. It was 52 degrees at game

The top NL CY Young Award candidate was knocked out of a start for the first time this season without finishing the fifth. Beltran had three hits and drove in two runs while facing Kershaw and made a spectacular catch in right field, helping him advance to the World Series for the first time in his 16-year career. Perhaps showing the Cardinals weren’t stressed by the possibility of a second straight postseason meltdown, Games 1 and 5 starter Joe Kelly had a post-national anthem staredown against Dodgers reserve outfielder Scott Van Slyke that was broken up by a fed-up home plate umpire Greg Gibson after several minutes. Kelly blinked first, all in good fun but, when it counted, St. Louis wouldn’t budge. The Cardinals jumped on

Kershaw in the third, batting around. After Wacha grounded out, Carpenter doubled in a gritty at-bat. Beltran singled him home for the game’s first run. With two outs, Yadier Molina added an RBI single, Shane Robinson drove in two runs with a single in his first career postseason start after replacing slumping Jon Jay — and advanced to second base on Dodgers rookie Yasiel Puig’s first of two errors in the Cardinals’

starts, one of the gems in Game 4 of the division series to keep the Cardinals alive. In his last regular season start and the NL Central up for grabs, he no-hit the Nationals for 8 2-3 innings. “There’s not anything you can’t say about him,” Kelly said of Wacha. “He’s just going out there and pitching his butt off right now and as you can see he’s just a pretty damn good pitcher.” Beltran was the star of the Cardinals’ 3-2, 13-inning Game 1 victory, driving in all three runs plus making a throw to keep it tied in extra innings. Kershaw was charged with seven runs on 10 hits in fourplus innings. The lefty led the majors in ERA the last three years but has lost five straight starts against St. Louis. None of his starts this year were shorter than five innings and the most runs he allowed was five, on two occasions. The four-run fourth was his worst since July 24, 2012, at St. Louis, when Kershaw yielded eight runs in 5 2-3 innings. The Dodgers didn’t have much of a chance again Wacha.

Sooners aim to rebound against KU B y D ave S kretta

we’re doing, we’ll be able to make plays and hit some shots down the field.” BIG SLOWDOWN: Kansas went with an ultra-conservative game plan last week against TCU in an attempt to minimize risk. The result was a dreadfully boring affair, but one in which the Jayhawks were competitive until the fourth quarter. “You have to play to the strength of your team,” Weis explained. “That is the defense for us.” FLOTILLA OF RBS: Brennan Clay leads the Sooners with 476 yards rushing, but there are a bunch of guys fighting for carries. Damien Williams and Roy Finch have taken snaps, and speedy freshman Keith Ford recently joined the mix. “He’s fast,” Oklahoma co-offensive coordinator Josh Heupel said. “He has a chance to make a lot of explosive plays.” COACHING CHANGES: The Jayhawks shook up coaching staff responsibilities this week in an attempt to generate more offense. Quarterbacks coach Ron Powlus is handling the passing game and tight ends coach Jeff Blasko the running game while Weis oversees the whole thing. “Coach has always been open to ideas,” Powlus said. “It’s just the way we presented them was a little bit different. ... But we all work together and did no different this week.” BIG 12 HOPES: The Sooners still believe they can win the conference title, which they did after losses to Texas in 2006 and 2008. They still play league-unbeatens Texas Tech and Baylor, along with Oklahoma State. “We can still win the Big 12,” Sooners offensive lineman Daryl Williams said, “and possibly go to the championship if we win out.”

Associated Press

LAWRENCE — It doesn’t seem to matter how well Oklahoma fares in its annual Red River Rivalry with Texas. Whoever is next on the schedule had better watch out. For some reason, that often ends up being Kansas. The No. 18 Sooners have won 14 straight games played the week after tussling with the Longhorns, and that includes a 6-0 mark against the Jayhawks. Only five of those games came on the heels of a loss, as will be the case when Oklahoma plays Kansas on Saturday. “Our season, win or lose this game, isn’t the end all and it never is,” Sooners coach Bob Stoops said after a 36-20 loss to the Longhorns last weekend. “We go back to our work like we always do, and we have six more conference games to go, so that’s what you have to do.” Still, it will surely be an ornery bunch of Sooners (5-1, 2-1 Big 12) heading to Memorial Stadium. Their national title aspirations were likely dashed by the loss, and now they’re left wondering where they stack up in a wide-open conference race. “At the beginning of the season we had high hopes for ourselves,” Oklahoma defensive end Geneo Grissom said, “and this loss kind of changes that for us. We’re a little bit upset with ourselves and the way the game went. We will definitely have chips on our shoulders.” That doesn’t sound like good news for Kansas (2-3, 0-2), which is still trying to end a 23-game conference losing streak that predates second-year coach Charlie Weis. The Jayhawks were blown out by Texas Tech in their Big 12 opener, but fared better in a close loss to TCU last weekend. Still, Kansas hasn’t won a league game since topping Colorado — which is no longer in the Big 12 — under former coach Turner Gill during the 2010 season. “Statistically if you look at Coach Stoops’ record coming off the Red River Rivalry, especially coming off a loss, the numbers are almost astounding in the dominance they’ve shown coming off of that game,” Weis said. “We’re going to be ready for their ‘A’ game, because I’m sure they’re not in the happiest of spirits right now.” As the Sooners try to get back on track, and the Jayhawks try to deliver Weis his first Big 12 win, here are five things to keep in mind: BELLDOZER UNTRACKED: Sooners quarterback Blake Bell was just 12 of 26 for 133 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions against the Longhorns.

Still more are slowed by nagging ailments, most notably star receiver Roddy White. But Gonzalez refuses to believe that all hope is lost. “I’m not there yet,” he said. “Not even close.” The Falcons, who host winless Tampa Bay on Sunday, are coming off a bye week that gave everyone a chance to assess what they must do to turn things around. It also provided ample time for speculation about whether Gonzalez would really want to stick things out if the losing persisted, especially when the Chiefs are off to an 6-0 start. He spent a dozen years in Kansas City before signing off on a trade to Atlanta in 2009. Last season, Gonzalez finally got his first playoff win and nearly made it to the Super Bowl, the

Falcons coming up 10 yards short of beating San Francisco in the NFC championship game. The thrilling ride prompted a change on heart on his oftstated plans to retire, luring him back for a 17th season. Alas, it hasn’t gone as expected. “I know there’s trade rumors out there,” he said. “I would never go and ask them for a trade. If that’s something they want to do to help their franchise, that’s up to them. But it wouldn’t be coming from me. I came back to play with these guys. I have a great relationship with these guys, and the coaches too. These are guys I will call friends for the rest of my life, so I’m not going to jump ship.” There’s certainly been no drop-off in productivity for the 37-year-old Gonzalez. He ranks second on the Falcons and fourth among all NFL tight ends with 33 receptions, accounting for 339 yards and three touchdowns. At this pace, Gonzalez would end his career with a career-best 106 receptions, which is especially impressive when considering the lengths that opposing defenses have gone to in hopes of shutting him down.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith passes against the Oakland Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 13.

Most notably, both New England and the New York Jets employed tight double-teaming in an attempt to keep Gonzalez from even getting off the line, a tactic that is normally used to hold up a speedy player from covering punts. With Jones (41 receptions) done for the season because of a foot injury, Gonzalez can expect to draw even more attention from the other side of the line — especially with White still struggling to get up to speed after sustaining a high ankle sprain in the preseason. “If I get double-teamed or get that punt coverage-style gunner defense again, I would hope and expect my teammates to step up and make plays,” Gonzalez said. “We’ve still got some real good players on the offensive side of the football. We’ve still got Matt Ryan throwing the ball.” Those teammates are fully aware of why Gonzalez came back for one more season. They still hope to send him out in style. “Everybody is trying their hardest to make sure we get that done,” said rookie tight end Levine Toilolo, one of Gonzalez’s backups. “We still have a lot of football left to play.”

tion percentage a little bit, but that’s part of the game, and then you come back and get them on the next play.” Even his completion percentage doesn’t mean a whole lot to Smith, though. “I mean, that statistic, it’s not something I’m directly looking at. It’s what throws should I have made? What decisions should I have made differently?” he explained. “You look at things on a play-by-play basis. Could I make a better decision? Could I make a better throw?” In some cases, the answer is a resounding yes. Several times he’s missed an open receiver downfield, calling into question his ability to throw the deep ball. He’s also struggled to get the ball to wide receiver Dwayne Bowe, who has just 20 catches after signing a $56 million, five-year deal in the offseason. But there are a lot more reasons for those shortcomings than Smith not

doing his job. Bowe has received the majority of defensive attention this season, and an offensive line that features a rookie right tackle in Eric Fisher has had difficulty giving Smith time to scan the field. “Alex has a big arm, he controls the offense and he makes plays when he has to,” Bowe said. “If I’m taking two people, he’s going to get the check-down. We’re going to play conservative. We’re not going to make mistakes.” So far, that approach has been working. The Chiefs (6-0) lead the NFL at plus-12

Silfverberg scores in shootout, Ducks down Coyotes 3-2 Associated Press ANAHEIM — Nick Bonino scored the tying goal with 2:02 left in the third period, Jakob Silfverberg scored the deciding goal in the sixth round of the shootout and Jonas Hiller made 30 saves to lead the Anaheim Ducks to a 3-2 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes on Friday night. The defending Pacific Division champions are off to their best start in franchise history, winning six straight following a 6-1 loss at Colorado on opening night. It’s also the first time the club has started 4-0 at home. Rostislav Klesla got his first goal of the season, Antoine Vermette also scored and Mike Smith made 37 saves for the Coyotes. The Ducks were pressing for the equalizer in the Coyotes’ zone when Bonino threw the puck toward the net from the right point, and 6-foot-4 teammate Dustin Penner ducked his head in the low slot as it drifted last Mike Smith’s stick. Coyotes defenseman Keith Yandle received a doubleminor for cutting Daniel Winnik with a high stick 30 seconds before the first intermission with Anaheim leading 1-0 on Teemu Selanne’s goal, but Smith stopped all seven shots he faced during the ensuing four-minute power play. The Ducks finished 0 for 4 with the man advantage, and are a league-worst 1 for 27. Klesla gave the Coyotes a 2-1 lead 7:54 into the third period with a screened 50-foot slap shot from the left point against Hiller, who thwarted all six Phoenix power plays. The Ducks were playing keepaway in their own zone about 9 minutes into the second period when Francois Beauchemin passed the puck behind the net to defense partner Hampus Lindholm — and it ricocheted off Lindholm’s skate right to a Phoenix captain Shane Doan in the low slot. Hiller turned aside Doan’s quick wrist shot, but the Coyotes tied the score at 11:11 of the period. Yandle got the puck from Mike Ribeiro about 40 feet from the net and set up Vermette at the left of the crease. The Ducks didn’t get their second shot on net until the 6:38 mark, but Selanne made it count with his second goal of the season and 677th of his career. Mathieu Perreault intercepted an attempted clearing pass by Derek Morris and got the puck in the low slot to Selanne, who snuck behind Yandle and took a wrist shot that dribbled in off Smith’s pads. NOTES: Frederik Andersen served as Hiller’s backup after getting recalled from Norfolk of the AHL. Viktor Fasth, who made 33 saves in Wednesday’s 3-2 win over Calgary, did not dress because of a lower-body injury that occurred toward the end of Thursday’s practice. ... Anaheim is one of two teams in the league that has yet to get a goal from any of its defenseman — along with the New Jersey Devils. ... The crowd of 13,206 was only 199 more than the Ducks’ lowest turnout in the 24 home games they played during the lockout-delayed 20012-13 season. ... Sunday’s home game against Dallas will be the Ducks’ first meeting with their longtime Pacific Division rivals since the offseason realignment that reduced the league from six to four divisions and put the Stars in the Central Division. in turnover differential, one year after tying Philadelphia at a league-worst minus-24. A big reason for that: Smith has thrown just three interceptions. Only the Broncos’ Peyton Manning has thrown fewer picks while attempting more passes. “I’ve always been impressed by Alex,” said Texans coach Gary Kubiak, whose team faces Kansas City on Sunday, and who’d no doubt love to have a quarterback valuing possessions right now. “He’s brilliant, smart,”

Kubiak said. “I had a chance to visit with him when he was coming out. I think he fits exactly what Andy wants to do. He has the opportunity to make plays with his feet when things break down. I’ve always been a fan.” So is Reid, who tried to acquire Smith when he was coaching the Eagles. “He’s got things he needs to keep working on. The thing that’s most important right now is he continues to get reps with his receivers around him,” Reid said. “You’ve got to be sharp and on the same page with one another, and they’re work-

It was one of many big hits the Blue Jays delivered to the visitors all evening. “The harder you hit, the more impact you have on the game,” Wilson said. “The more everyone starts getting excited.” The running machine picked up right where it left off. Five plays into the drive, Campbell broke off a 25-yard touchdown run, his third of the night. “Our line was blocking, we came out and we busted them in the mouth,” Campbell said. “I heard that a lot of people couldn’t run on these guys and we just backed them up.” The Blue Jays capped off their run when sophomore defensive lineman Shelby Moffith recovered a fumble by Washburn Rural’s Michael Singer in the end zone to take a 42-21 lead. After being gashed in the first half, the Jays’ defense solidified itself as a unit in the third quarter, Rural’s offense looked confused, and struggled to get much going. “We had to get on our guys and we told them we had to come together,” senior linebacker Immanu-

el Cason said. “This was our last home game, guaranteed for the seniors, so we told them that, everybody did their part and they played.” After Junction City fell behind early in the game 7-0, Ervin found senior tight end Semaj Johnson over the middle for a 57-yard reception which set up a 10-yard Campbell run to tie the game. “Will did a nice job managing the game,” JC head coach Randall Zimmerman said about his quarterback Ervin. “And that’s all we asked him to do tonight. Just go get your hands under center, get the snap taken, make sure to secure the handoff, gave him two or three little reads to follow through with.” Junction City let off the gas at the end of the game, and Rural crawled back into it. With less than two minutes left, the Junior Blues closed the gap to 42-35 and were attempting a last ditch onside kick attempt. The ball took a high bounce, but JC senior receiver Danny Thornton jumped in front of the 10-yard mark the ball had to cross and snatched it out of the air and fell to the ground before any Rural player had a chance to grab it. “We just need to learn how to finish the game out,” Zimmerman said. “The ‘08 championship

And at halftime, the members walked out to midfield and were announced to the crowd.

Two people I haven’t seen since I graduated from high school and I saw them for the first time today, all these years and it’s been wonderful.” The ‘69 team won the first ever 4A playoff, finishing with a 10-1 regular season record before defeating Bishop Carrol in the title game. The year before, the Blue Jays went undefeated, but with no playoff system in place, Junction City had to settle for a mythical title. Al Simpler’s son, Dee, who ran some summer workouts for the ‘69 team, was one of the speakers at the gathering before the game. “It’s just been wonderful connecting with everybody and meeting the 2008 team has been wonderful too,” Poole said. “A bunch of great guys, young people that are continuing the tradition of carrying what they learned from coaches, friends and neighbors and they’re carrying it on into life.” Poole was joined by teammates Les Chaves, Steve Miles, Billy Boughman and Richard Wilhite for the festivities. “It was just a good time catching up with some of these guys and meeting the guys from the ‘69 team,” Zimmerman said. “Just being back in front of the fans and this place where we made so many memories.”

Horrific crime happened in Junction City 95 years ago Jamie Martin Museum Musings

n Friday, January 11, 1918 Camp Funston was the site of one of the most horrific crimes ever seen in this area. It was a horribly cold winter that year. That night was the coldest yet with temperatures reaching 22 degrees below zero, outdoor activities were kept short and the number of guards and sentries were reduced to the bare minimum. The only areas of the camp where any major activity could be seen were the Funston banks which were preparing for the million dollar Army payday. On that Friday at the Funston Branch of the National Army Bank the payroll had arrived and four employees were working late to process the funds in anticipation of the high volume of business expected the next day. The men working that night were C. Fuller Winters, vice president of the National Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Mo., the casher Kearney Wornall, and two clerks Carl Ohleson and O.M. Hill. John W. Jewell, a friend of Wornall’s and the editor of the Camp Funston Trench and Field, was also at the bank. He was staying in Manhattan and had stopped to give Wornall a ride home.

This post card of Camp Funston shows us what the camp would have looked like around the time of the robbery and murders. Around 8:30 p.m. there was an insistent knock on the door. The men opened the door to find Captain Whisler, a friend of Vice President Winter. In his hand he carried a grip. It is unknown why the men allowed him to enter the bank that night but this late night visit did not seem out of the ordinary as he had been in the previous night to alter a check. They became concerned when Captain Whisler produced a gun from his grip and announced that he was “short in his accounts” and thought that this was “the best bet to remedy it.” Their concern increased when he produced an ax from under his coat and struck Winter with the flat side of it. Just as the severity of the situation began to sink in there was a knock at the door. Andrew Ohleson, Carl’s father, was there to deliver a message that Winter’s wife was on the phone. Under Whisler’s direction Winter informed

Ohleson that he could not come to the phone at the moment but to tell her that he would call her back. As Ohleson departed they could tell by his hesitant footsteps that he thought something was not right. Wornall recalled that “If you ever heard doubt and mental confusion depicted with a man’s heels, this was it. Ohleson apparently turned around because ‘crunch!’ came the sound of the heel in the snow. He stepped, ‘crunch! crunch!’ and then he stopped. You could almost see him rub his chin. He started again and stopped. Then he walked slowly around the building and finally walked away fast.” Accounts differ in how Whisler obtained the money. One account states that the money was out on the counter being counted for the upcoming payday. Another account states that Whisler forced Winter to open the vault. Either way Whisler quickly filled his bag.

Whisler then produced several short pieces of rope showing that he had clearly thought his plan out. He ordered the men to lie on the ground and for Wornall to tie them up. Whisler then tied Wornall up. He checked the ropes and was unhappy to find that Wornall had not tied them tight enough. He ruthlessly tightened the ropes making escape impossible. With a manic gleam in his eye he then began to bash the men in the head with the hand ax. The newspaper accounts from 1918 reported that the bodies were “literally hacked to pieces.” The only survivor of the brutal massacre was Wornall who stated “I was the first man hit and was senseless on the first blow.” After the attack he was found by a sentry wandering around the camp covered in blood with a deep gash in his skull. The sentry sounded an alarm and the camp was placed on alert and surrounded. Wor-

nall was able to recount some memories of the attack as he lapsed in and out of consciousness on his way to the infirmary. Winter lived for just a short time and never regained conscious after being found by the guards. The base was immediately locked down. All civilians were placed under guard and soldiers were confined to quarters. Orders were given “to shoot to kill any persons who attempt to enter or leave the camp by stealth.” Guards were stationed at the depot with orders to “arrest any incoming person and take them before the authorities to explain their business there.” Searchers using dogs were able to follow a trail “to the Union Pacific track and then to the Golden Belt Highway” where the scent was lost. They did find a handkerchief soaked in blood, a canvas cap like those worn by soldiers, and thirty one dollar bills near the site

Submitted Photo where the trail was lost. Over the next couple of days Wornall improved and his memory became clearer. He was able to identify Captain Whisler’s name from the company account books. Before he could be arrested Whisler learned that there was a survivor and that an army captain was identified as being the perpetrator of this horrendous crime. Knowing that he would soon be arrested he immediately returned to his office where he killed himself with a gun shot. With the bank in such disarray it took several days for the investigators to determine an exact amount that was taken. After considerable searching a bookcase was moved and a hole was found in the wall of Whisler’s quarters. Inside the wall they found the banks missing $62,800.

New ‘Skylanders’ divide and conquer Bay attacked on

‘Transformers’ set

B y L ou Kesten

Associated Press As Activision’s Skylanders franchise has exploded in popularity, more parents have asked me: Is it as cool as it looks, or just an insidious plot to separate my kids from their allowances? Who says it can’t be both? Look, collectible toys have been around for most of our lifetimes, whether we’re talking about Barbie fashions, Matchbox cars or Beanie Babies. The genius of Skylanders is in bringing those toys to life through something else kids love: the video-game console. For the uninitiated: Skylanders are accompanied by a game disk and a “Portal of Power” that plugs into your Xbox, PlayStation or Wii. When you place a Skylander figurine on the portal, the character materializes in the video game. The wrinkle in the new “Skylanders Swap Force” is that some of the creatures snap in two, and you can freely replace their tops and bottoms. The most widely available starter kit (for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U, $74.99) comes with Wash Buckler, a sword-wielding octopus, and Blast Zone, a bombthrowing robot. Switch their parts and you get two new characters, Wash Zone and Blast Buckler. You can do this with all 16 Swap Force Skylanders, which means a total of 256 new characters. In addition, each of the Swap Force models has one

Associated Press

In this undated photo released by Activision, two robots, Boom Jet and Magna Charge, switch body parts in Skylanders Swap Force of eight skills, like climbing, bouncing or teleporting. Finally, there’s a whole new batch of one-piece Skylanders; the starter kit comes with Ninja Stealth Elf. The obsessive collector needs to start saving up; the Swap Force figurines cost $15 apiece and the regular Skylanders go for $10, so it’s pretty easy to crack $500. But you can survive the game’s story mode with just the three characters in the starter kit. You can also use any of the Skylanders that have been released since the franchise debuted in 2011. The game itself is the series’ best so far. The story is the usual silliness: Recurring villain Kaos is bent on destroying the Skylands and it’s up to you and your companions to stop him. The journey takes you across a series of well-

designed environments, from snow-covered mountains to the inside of a volcano. There are monsters to fight, puzzles to solve and treasures to collect, and you can spend all your loot on buying new powers for your favorite Skylanders. Vicarious Visions, the studio behind “Swap Force,” has given all the characters one new ability: They can now jump. That simple addition opens up a whole range of activity, seemingly drawn from every kid-friendly game since “Super Mario Bros.” Yes, there’s plenty of running and jumping, but you’ll also find yourself zipping along rails, manning turrets, navigating mazes and fishing. Certain areas, which you need particular Skylanders to unlock, provide some of the game’s toughest challeng-

es. Like the previous “Skylanders” games, “Swap Force” is a delight for parents and kids to play together. You can team up on the story levels or enjoy a robust collection of bonus challenges, both cooperative and competitive. Indeed, there’s so much to do in “Swap Force” that it should take months for even the most dedicated player to discover all its secrets. Sure, the brand has become a cash cow for Activision, but it doesn’t feel exploitive, thanks to the high quality of the games and the toys. I’ve even developed a bit of affection for some of the Skylanders who have taken over my living room, and I’m looking forward to seeing where they’ll go next. Three-and-a-half stars out of four.

HONG KONG — Hollywood director Michael Bay was attacked and slightly injured Thursday on the set of the fourth installment of the “Transformers” movie series currently filming in Hong Kong, police said. A Hong Kong police spokeswoman said two brothers surnamed Mak who own a shop near the movie set approached Bay and demanded $13,000. When Bay refused to pay, they assaulted him, she said. The brothers also allegedly assaulted three police officers who were called to the set. The spokeswoman said Bay suffered a minor injury to his face but declined medical treatment. She spoke on customary condition of anonymity. The two men, aged 27

and 28, were arrested and face charges of blackmail, assault and assaulting police officers, she said. Paramount Pictures gave a somewhat different account of the incident, which it said occurred on the film’s first day of production in Hong Kong. It said in a statement that a man allegedly under the influence of a narcotic substance rushed onto the set wielding an air conditioning unit and swung it at Bay’s head. It said Bay ducked and wrestled the air conditioning unit away from the man. Police arrested the man and two companions, and no one on the set was injured, Paramount said. “Transformers 4: Age of Extinction” is partly set in Hong Kong. It stars Mark Wahlberg and is to be released next June.

Flynt doesn’t want man executed Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Porn publisher Larry Flynt says he doesn’t want to see the man whose gunshots paralyzed him 35 years ago put to death for his crimes. In an essay published Thursday in The Hollywood Reporter Flynt says that while he’d love to take pliers and a pair of wire cutters to Joseph Paul Franklin, he doesn’t believe

in the death penalty. The Hustler magazine publisher says keeping Franklin locked in a tiny prison cell for the rest of his life is a greater punishment. Franklin has been in prison since 1980 for a string of shootings that left five people dead and others wounded. He is scheduled to be executed Nov. 20 in Missouri.

Live events proving worth for networks B y D avid B auder

AP Television Writer NEW YORK — Television executives are looking for more than hot actors these days. They’re searching for the next Nik Wallenda. With ratings for Wallenda’s tightrope walks across Niagara Falls and the Grand Canyon in mind, networks are taking meetings from people pitching programs about cars flipping over, or an attempt to set a record for simultaneous skydives. They’re all on the hunt for the next big event. Social media and television’s economic system have given rise to a counterintuitive trend: The more opportunities there are for people to watch TV on their own time with DVRs and video on demand, the more valuable programming that can deliver a big live audience has become. It’s not just stunts. Live sports, awards shows, singing competitions and the Olympics are all examples of programs that networks consider DVR-proof. “The larger the event, the more buzz-worthy it becomes, the more social it becomes and it breaks through the clutter,” said Andy Kubitz, ABC scheduling chief. Wallenda’s walk across Niagara Falls last year was a Top 10 show that week for ABC. An average of 10.7 million people saw him on a tightrope stretched over the Grand Canyon in June — the most-watched live event in Discovery’s history. Watching ruefully from his office was NBC executive Paul Telegdy, whose network partly paid for Wallenda’s tightrope. NBC had been planning to air it, but Telegdy said his bosses at the time got cold feet. “The Voice” and, in particular, the London summer Olympics taught TV executives that social media conversations about programs can create excitement and build a larger audience. That’s true of taped programs, but much more so with live events. Building a big live event was the idea behind “The Million Second Quiz,” which

Associated Press

Aerialist Nik Wallenda walks a 2-inch-thick steel cable taking him a quarter mile over the Little Colorado River, June 23 in Gorge, Ariz NBC aired over two weeks in September. The competition was live, and viewers were encouraged to play along on their tablets at home. The show was a critical failure and didn’t meet NBC’s commercial expectations, but it still reached more people than the reruns that would otherwise be shown. Telegdy said it’s important to take such risks, as NBC will do over the holidays with a live production of “The Sound of Music.” “If somebody has a big, crazy and ambitious idea, they’re going to call me before they call other places,” he said. Networks love programming that makes news — a stumbling celebrity on “Dancing With the Stars” or cringe-worthy audition on “American Idol” — to create the aura that people who don’t watch live are missing something. Awards shows are dependable draws, even more so in recent years. Networks try to stretch the experience by making red carpet shows or, in the case of the Grammys, a performance show built around the announcement of nominees. Sports are becoming more visible in prime-time. NBC’s fall schedule flows from its Sunday night NFL game. Saturday night, once the outpost for reruns or “America’s Most Wanted” on Fox, is now dominated by football

games. Fox is looking forward to airing World Cup soccer. Scripted dramas can become events of their own with cliffhangers, bold plot twists or special guests. A program that pushes its way into the national conversation — think of the brutal “red wedding” episode of

HBO’s “Game of Thrones” — is pure gold. AMC’s “Breaking Bad” series finale and “The Walking Dead” season premiere qualified as big events that many people had to see when they first aired. It’s ironic, then, that much of their popularity is attributable to delayed viewing by

people who discovered the shows on streaming services. “To be able to put on a program that week in and week out viewers must see that day — that is every broadcast networks’ goal,” said Dan Harrison, a planning and programming executive at Fox. Networks don’t dismiss people who record shows to watch later; it’s just that the business isn’t set up to reward that practice. If you record “The Blacklist” and watch Saturday night, the Nielsen company doesn’t count you in the calculations that are used to determine how much advertising revenue a show gets. Only people

who watch a playback or video file within three days of its airing are counted, and only if they don’t fast-forward through commercials. The surest way to be counted is to watch live. With the three-day limit in mind, CBS has even taken to advertising some programs the day AFTER they air, said David Poltrack, research chief. Some advertisers pay extra to reach live viewers because they’re considered more passionate consumers, or tailor advertising campaigns to live programs. All contribute to an inescapable fact: “The value of live viewing has gone up,” Poltrack said.

Book Lover’s Paradise sale

he holidays will soon be upon us and the Friends of the Library are prepared to help community members celebrate the season. This includes the opportunity to find great buys on next-to-new books at their annual fall book sale, the Book Lover’s Paradise. For members of the Friends, the sale will begin Thursday, Oct. 31 with the members-only preview that will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. Memberships will be available at the door and are $5 for primary and secondary school students and senior citizens, $10 for other individuals, and $20 for families, businesses and organizations. The sale will open to the public on Friday, Nov. 1 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and continue on Saturday, Nov. 2 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. After that, the remaining inventory will be shifted to the main room of the library where the sale will continue through the end of the year. Families who participate in Junction City’s All Treats Day will receive a little book sale shopping incentive in their treat bags this year. Staff from the Young

Susan Moyer Librarian’s report People’s Department will be handing out Halloween necklaces along with a book sale coupon worth fifty cents. This can be applied to the purchase of any item at the sale. The annual book sale and its companion daily sales are the Friends’ main sources of revenue. These moneys are used to provide financial support for the library whether that be matching funds for a technology grant, underwriting for the program budget, or assistance with a special project. The dollars spent also help to keep used books, CD’s and DVD’s circulating through the community so many can continue to enjoy them long after the first reader finished the last page. In addition to the opportunity to recycle their reading and to spend a little to take home a lot, this year’s book sale shoppers will also have the opportunity to say “count me in” and offer their support to the First

Book program. First Book provides new books to children in need, addressing one of the most important factors affecting literacy, the access to books. An innovative leader in social enterprise, First Book has distributed millions of free and low cost books in thousands of communities. Thanks to the efforts of the library, the Smart Start program, the Boys and Girls Club Board, and the Early Childhood Family Network, Junction City, Fort Riley, and Geary County are included among them. To help with this effort, book sale shoppers will be invited to make a donation at the cashier’s table. This will be used to add books to the home libraries of local families in need and will join the support that has already purchased and distributed more than 7,000 titles. An independent study of the First Book model found that 55 percent of the children involved showed an increased interest in reading after they began to receive books through the program. This factor is particularly significant when

compared to the fact that millions of children live below the poverty line and well over half of lowincome families have no books at all in their homes for their kids. Mark your calendars and make a date to launch the holiday season with a long-standing library and community tradition and attend the Friends of the Library’s fall book sale. At the same time, plan to add a little extra for the books you take home so that a Geary County child can begin to build their home library. It’s a shopping opportunity that everyone can afford as well as one that reflects the spirit of the season and it’s happening in just a few days at your public library.

At 19, Anderson teen is published author C har maine S mith - miles

Anderson Independent-Mail ANDERSON, S.C. — Tessa Emily Hall received copies of her first book, “Purple Moon,” a day after she signed a contract with an agent who is going to help her market her second and third book. Recently, she was on hand at the Anderson County Museum for her first book signing. All of this is remarkable because Tessa is 19 years old. She has already reached one of her top goals before the end of her teenage years: She is a professional writer. Maybe that is because she had an early start on her writing life. Hall, an Anderson native and graduate of Anderson Christian School, has been telling stories since she was three years old. “When she was a toddler, she would beg me to read to her,” her mother,

Tammy, said. “I thought it was neat that people could interpret marks on paper and turn that into a story,” Tessa added. She still remembers those books with the “golden spines” that were on the shelves in her parents’ house. Her mother remembers Tessa picking up those blue Bible story books that used to be commonplace in doctors’ offices. “She loved reading those stories, and looking at the pictures,” Tammy said. As a preschooler, she was typing in emails to family members and friends. When Tessa was in the third grade, she was writing her own stories and illustrating them. Before she could write, she would dictate stories to her willing family membersturned scribes. One of the first stories she wrote was, “The Colorful Dolphin,” a story of a girl who brought a colorful dolphin home from a

pet store and put in her backyard pond. “I wrote so many after that,” Tessa said. “That is all I did in my free time.” A stack of papers stapled together would keep Tessa busy for hours, her parents said. She wrote a series, which she still has, called “Rebecca’s Journal.” It was a chapter series, much like the Judy Blume books she was reading at the time. By the time Tessa was in the fourth and fifth grades at Midway Elementary School, she was winning awards for her essays that she wrote about her grandmother and her grandfather. Her stories were growing more complex. She was graduating from the stories of colorful dolphins and trips to the beach. Her stories were becoming about people and the issues they were facing.

One story that she wrote, called “Dear My Soon-toCome Baby Sister,” was about a couple’s struggle to have children. Tessa said she began to see stories as a way to entertain, but also as a way to change people — to minister to them. “I’ve always liked to create things,” Tessa said. “But I also like to use my imagination to create stories that people can relate to.” This is what she wants to do as a professional writer. It is her aim in her book, “Purple Moon.” She does not want to preach to people, but she wants to leave her readers with a story that helps them with their own struggles, and questions. She wants to help people, in her own generation, with their faith by telling them stories. In “Purple Moon,” Tessa

centers the story on a young lady — one that is about her age — named Selena, whose mother struggles with addictions and she is left to sort out life on her own. The story takes place during a summer that Selena spends with her “snobby cousin” in Lake Lure, N.C. The book has been published by Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas. Eddie Jones was at the Blue Ridge Writers’ Conference that Tessa attended at age 16. It was her first writing conference, and she was going to learn about the writing craft, and about how she could become a published author one day. Jones was curious about Tessa because she was one of the youngest in the class. He asked if she had any chapters available from her book.

pediatric ent issues

When it’s your child, it never feels like a small problem. We understand. When it comes to illness, including ear, nose & throat issues, we know that your child is not just a “mini-adult.” Kids often display different symptoms than grownup patients, and they definitely have their own language of complaints. It’s our job to be sensitive to that—and to be sensitive to the parents’ needs and worries as well. It’s just how we do things here. - Dr. Scot Hirschi, ENT Topeka Ear, Nose & Throat 785-233-0500

Praying for World Peace

You are not alone

B y C lint D ecker

You are not alone. That’s right. According to the National Association of Mental Illness there are 58 million Americans who battle these disorders. Though it feels like you walk your path alone — you are not. Though it feels like no one understands — they do. What is mental illness? The Mayo Clinic says it “Refers to a wide range of mental health conditions — disorders that affect your mood, thinking and behavior. Examples of mental illness include depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, eating disorders and addictive behaviors.” Even though it is normal to experience difficult days or seasons of life a clinically diagnosed mental illness is different. It is something that is ongoing where people cannot cope with daily life and no amount of self-discipline or will power can “fix it”. Chatter about mental illness rises every time there is a mass shooting like the recent Navy Yard incident, the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre or the Aurora, Colorado, theatre killings. But not everyone who has a mental condition is going to be the next mass shooter. Most are responsible, hardworking people, who are good neighbors, good employees and look perfectly fine on the surface. However, on the inside are conditions that nearly cripple their daily life. Most folks would be surprised to know who battles with mental illness. Often people silently cope with only their closest family or friends knowing. And the care-givers end up bearing a heavy load while trying to understand and care for them. It can be a lonely and frustrating time while dealing with a disorder. You may feel as if you are alone and no one understands. On this journey I believe God wants to send a message, “You are not alone”. God understands and is waiting for you to turn to Him. Yes, we may need to pursue medication, professional counseling or a treatment plan. Yet, we must not forget the world’s great Liberator. God, through His Son, Jesus, came from heaven to earth, died and rose again to set us free from the chains of sin and sorrows of this world. He stands ready to grant you an eternal hope in the face of your mental illness. The Scriptures say, “Seek the LORD while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near” (Isaiah 55:6). May Jesus be your hope for today.

On Saturday, Oct. 12, Saint Xavier Parish took part in their sixth America Needs Fatima Rosary Rally. The purpose of the rallies is to pray the Rosary in mass for world peace. Last year, the America Needs Fatima campaign organized over 9,077 Rosary Rallies. In 2013 over 11,000 rallies were held worldwide. The St. Xavier event was organized by the Living Water Ministry, Tuesday Rosary Group and Stewards of Hope committees with assistance from Boy Scout Pack 41, the Junction City Troubadors, and many others. The event was held in Heritage Park with bright sunshine and minimal wind. The event was a success with more than 50 in attendance. The group will plan another rally next year and will be looking forward to the opportunity to pray in mass once again for world peace.

Plans for Lake Michigan camp draws opposition Associated Press SAUGATUCK, Mich. — A plan to turn part of a lakeside camp in western Michigan into luxury home sites is being opposed by some nearby residents and past campers. More than 100 people appealed Wednesday to the Planning Commission in Saugatuck to reject a request from David Barker to establish eight home sites on a 22-acre portion of the 130-acre Presbyterian Camps property on Lake Michigan, The Grand Rapids Press reported. “This is a precious place. This is a place of quiet, a place for reflection. For some, it’s a place of refuge,” said Sue Goll, of Naperville, Ill., whose two sons were campers and later became counselors there. Barker agreed to buy the campground from the Presbytery of Chicago for $10 million and is asking for a special land use for the 22-acre section. After nearly three hours of

debate, commissioners postponed a vote on the request until Oct. 24. Barker initially proposed 12 single family home sites on 2 acres each that could sell for up to $2 million each. He later removed four of those sites from the application because they are under review by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. “The proposed use is far less intensive, from a land use perspective and environmental impact perspective, than what is there now,” said Matt Zimmerman, Barker’s attorney. The camp, which has cabins, platform tents, storage buildings and a dining hall, was founded in 1899. It typically houses about 200 campers a week. The Presbytery of Chicago owned it since 1921 and announced in 2009 that it planned to sell the site to help cover debts. In addition to eight proposed home sites, Barker wants to build private access roads to serve the home sites, as well as water, sewer

and utility services. He also has proposed a pedestrian pathway connecting the development to nearby Oval Beach. Some opponents of the project worry there may be additional future development on the site. “You have to look at the total package, not just those 22 acres and eight pieces of property,” nearby resident Kathy Sarkisian said. “I’m not against development, but I’m against development of this piece, because of its uniqueness — its wildlife, its flora and fauna.” Barker has made no decision on the remaining portion of the camp, Zimmerman said. The property is zoned for conservation, recreation and camp use, according to the city, but allows for single-family homes to be built under a special land use. “The applicant simply doesn’t know what he might do with the rest of the acreage,” Zimmerman said.

Controversy erupts over synagogue stop Associated Press NEW YORK — Democratic mayoral hopeful Bill de Blasio on Thursday criticized his Republican opponent, Joe Lhota, for campaigning in a Brooklyn synagogue that would not allow women to enter. Lhota was on a walking tour of the Borough Park neighborhood on Wednesday when he entered the ultra-Orthodox Shomer Shabbos synagogue, followed by an entourage of staffers and media members. Within moments, a synagogue official asked three women — a reporter, a Lhota campaign aide and a member of the candidate’s security team — to leave, but said the men could stay. The women stepped outside while Lhota remained inside. He emerged from the synagogue a minute later and defended it.

“Throughout the Orthodox world, the Orthodox Jewish world as well as the Orthodox Muslim world, there are certain places that women are not involved in,” he told reporters. “I will not, as mayor, violate their First Amendment constitutional rights for their religious practices.” De Blasio, who has a commanding lead in the polls, said Thursday that he believes such events should be held “in a space open to all.” “I find it perplexing that he would have organized an event in a situation women wouldn’t have access to,” de Blasio said outside a Manhattan rally. The New York Police Department 3x5.5 8/13/02 4:41 PM declined to comment about its officer being barred from the synagogue. The controversy erupted as the campaign seemingly enters a new, more contentious phase with less 3x5.5

than three weeks until the Nov. 5 election. The two men frequently sparred Tuesday night during their first debate, and the next day, de Blasio accused Lhota of releasing a “divisive” campaign commercial. The ad is centered on a dramatic video showing a Manhattan biker gang attack that left several people, including a young father, injured. It then segues into harrowing black-and-white images from the 1970s and ‘80s, including footage of an overturned police car, a man holding a gun and corpses sprawled on the ground. The 30-second spot, which is airing Page 1 on the city’s broadcast networks, warns that de Blasio has a “recklessly dangerous agenda on crime” because the public advocate suggested that he would meet with biker groups.

Will we have good fall color this year?

any people think of many different things when autumn rolls around. Invariably one´s thoughts of autumn hone in on the gorgeous colors of the natural world in a season of change. Those of us that grew up in the Great Plains associate fall colors more so with yellows and browns than with oranges and reds. That very simple fact comes back to the native trees and the colors that their leaves change to in the fall. Our native trees generally have fall leaf colors of brownish or yellow. Some plants will have splashes of red, generally smooth sumac, Virginia creeper and poison ivy. Our native white oaks generally go from green to

Chuck Otte Field & Garden brown. Walnuts, pecans, hickories, ash, elms and maples will often go to yellow, sometimes a dull yellow, sometimes a brilliant yellow. Other than the aforementioned plants with red leaves, if you want fall color in the reds or oranges, you’re going to have to go with non-natives. In the hardwood forests of the north and northeast, the brilliant color comes from maples. Sugar maple and red maple are the most com-

monly thought of but even some of these can end up with very unimpressive yellow leaves, partially because of the genetics and partially because of the weather. Oaks in the red oak family, like northern or southern red oak and scarlet oak can develop some very nice deep red color and will do well in most landscapes. Our native green ash has yellow leaves and the white ash of the eastern states will have deep purple leaves. The callary pear family, including Bradford pears, are also known for deep red leaves in the fall. But ultimately, the fall color is very dependent on the weather. The colors that we look forward to in the fall have

been present all summer long. But these colors are masked by the green of the chlorophyll. The leaf has to die and the chlorophyll has to start to go away so that the yellows, oranges and purples can start to show up. The best condition to have maximum color show up is warm sunny days and cool crisp nights. Extreme heat or drought can really mess up development of the color pigments as can cloudy days and warm nights in the fall. You don’t want a hard frost too soon because this will simply kill the leaves causing them to drop off before they can develop the desired color. Fortunately we’ve been in a stretch of good conditions for leaf color develop-

ment. Some folks think that fall may be running late, but really we’re right on schedule. I’m starting to see maples really changing fast as are the ashes and elms. (I really like this time of year with the American elms as they take on a very calico look with some leaves still wonderfully green and others bright yellow). The red oaks and the callary pears are still holding on to their green, but you can pick up a hint of color in parts of the tree. As the days grow shorter, the transition will happen ever faster. You can literally see changes daily in the trees. Once the colors really start to show up it won’t be long before the leaves are gone completely. The window of opportu-

nity is quite short once colors start to peak. But in the meantime, take note of trees you like. Snap a photo, especially close up of a leaf so if you ask me what it is, I can tell you. Also, take a weekend afternoon for a leisurely drive down one of our valley roads in the county. Not only are the trees getting beautiful, but the pastures themselves are exceptionally beautiful this fall. The natural world is getting ready for a long winter’s nap, so enjoy the colors of transition while you can.

Tis’ the season – clothing storage

he change in weather and temperature spurs nature and humans to change, as

well. For those in my house, fall weather tells us it’s time to change the spring and summer clothes out for our fall and winter ones. With a household of five, this task takes a bit of planning and considerable time. Through research and personal experience, I have acquired some tips and tricks that I thought others may be able to use in their own homes. Seasonal clothing storage is used for clothes that are not appropriate to the season of the year, such as the tank tops I am packing away for next summer. It could also be for those clothes that are not the right color or style, such as the Halloween sweatshirt that I will put away in a couple of weeks. Planning for this rotation of clothing helps me reduce my clothing expenses because I am able to determine what clothes I have ample amounts of and those that I have in limited number. With three boys as close in age as mine are, keeping track of sizes, quantities,

Deb Andres Living Resourcefully and condition is very important to my clothing budget. Using seasonal clothing storage practices helps me weed out the clothing that needs to be repaired or needs to be thrown away because it is beyond repair. It also helps me determine the quantities I have on hand that will still fit any one of the boys. At the beginning I have the boys help me with this process by trying clothes on, sorting their clothes out by size, and placing their clothes in one of four piles — ready to wear, ready to store, ready to pass down to younger brother, or ready to send on to their younger cousin. TIP: When we get to the point of placing the clothes we are keeping into storage, I usually tackle that task on my own. It’s a lot less stressful for

me and I can move more quickly in completing the job. On the weekends that I am changing clothes from one season to another, I make sure everything that I am putting in seasonal storage has been washed and repaired, if needed. This is why it is important to plan ahead for this process. You need to make sure you have enough time in your schedule to get most, if not all, of the process finished in a single day or weekend. You don’t want to risk losing all the work you have done by needing to move the piles before you are ready to store them. Research shows that it is best to thoroughly rinse the clothes after they are laundered and omit any use of fabric softener prior to placing clothes in storage. You also want to make sure that the clothes are thoroughly dry. Storing damp or wet clothing will invite mildew and mold to set in. With all the laundry done and sorted, I make sure I have collected all the clothing items that are going out of season and add those items to the piles the boys helped me with earlier in the day.

Next, I have to consider what storage area and method provides the best protection depending on the type of garment and the fabric it is made out of. Avoiding areas that are damp or may be exposed to excessive heat is important. Additionally, I need to make sure the storage area is free of fumes. Some areas that may have these concerns and thus, should be avoided include basements, attics, and garages. Most of my children’s clothes, with the exception of the few dress clothes they have, can be stored in large storage containers that have snap on lids or extra trunks or suitcases that are not in use. Clothes that are made from natural fiber such as cotton need to have room to breathe so I am careful not to pack the container too full. It’s also a good idea to layer white tissue paper or a clean sheet or pillowcase between the clothes for this purpose. The clothes that are heavier in weight, like jeans, are placed on the bottom with the lighter weight items, like tank tops, are placed near the top. This will put less stress on the light-weight clothes. I fold

them differently for storage than I would for their dresser drawer. Folding on the seamlines whenever possible will prevent unwanted creases from setting in the clothes while they are in storage. One of the final steps I take is to label the container before I put it in the back of their closet. I label the containers by size and season. Labeling the containers by size helps me determine which storage container to unpack for any one specific child. I also add any “special clothes” to the label. I find this very helpful for identifying where the swimsuits or winter gloves are as I am looking through the containers during the unpredictable temperature swings that Kansas is known for. Looking ahead to next week’s weather forecast, it appears that my weekend will be filled with laundry and storage containers – tis’ the season. Good luck with your own household tasks for the fall season and keep living resourcefully.

National bullying prevention month L a F ar ris R isby

ctober is National Bullying Prevention Month. Wow, is that an indictment of our society? Have we failed our children so much that we need a whole month to spotlight it? If you believe that bullying isn’t a problem, consider these facts: • More than 3.2 million students are victims of bullying each year. • Approx. 160,000 teens skip school daily because of bullying.

• 56 percent of students have personally witnessed some type of bullying. • 90 percent of 4th to 8th graders report being victims of bullying. • Harassment and bullying have been linked to 75 percent of school-shooting incidents. • Physical bullying increases in elementary school, peaks in middle school and declines in high school. Verbal abuse remains constant. For the last twenty years, parenting experts have promoted building our children’s self-esteem through positive parenting. Many of

us have attended seminars and read countless books on the topic. Bullying arises from a lack of empathy and respect for others. In the age of better technology and better education, have we missed an opportunity to teach our children some basic principles of living in a social setting? In our zealousness, did we teach them that their happiness and self-esteem is more important than everyone else’s? Bullying behaviors can begin early in our children’s life in most instances. Consider these tips to help pre-

When your kids leave home, they dont need extra baggage. Teens who drink face fines, loss of driver’s license and even jail time. Help them say no to alcohol.

vent raising a bully: • Address poor social behaviors early and often. It is normal for toddlers to bite when they are frustrated because they don’t have the words to express their feelings. Demonstrate the words for them consistently to discourage the behavior “You are upset because you can’t go outside.” Explain that their behavior hurts others. “It hurts when you bite your friends.” Read stories and talk to your child about their behavior. You will not only be surprised but amazed at what your child understands.

• Emphasize that words can hurt. • Establish early that hitting is unacceptable. • Keep an open line of communication with your child. Get to know their friends and the parents of their friends. Ask them how/ why they have chosen their friends. If your child’s friends are known as bullies, the friendship may be headed down the wrong path. Understand where friend’s parents stand on bullying and violence. • Take concerns brought to you about your child’s behavior seriously.

• Help your child to understand and appreciate differences in people. Many bullying behaviors are basedin ignorance of disabilities, cultures and religion. • Demonstrate the importance of showing respect for others in interactions, especially when you are having a difference of opinion. There may not be any one key to eliminating bullying, these are some positive first steps. Because this is such an important topic, I invite you to join the discussion and engage with other parents at www.lafarrisrisby.com.
