‘Letters to heaven’
Ag secretary seeks waiver for illegal immigrants
Community comes together to pay tribute to Savoy family
TOPEKA (AP) — Facing pressure from large dairies and feedlots desperate for workers, Kansas Agriculture Secretary Dale Rodman is seeking a federal waiver that would allow companies to hire illegal immigrants. Rodman has met several times with officials at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security about launching a pilot program that would place employers and illegal immigrants in a special state-organized network. The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that the goal is to create a legal, straightforward manner of organizing existing immigrant labor. So far, Homeland Security has neither approved nor closed the door on the idea. “I need a waiver,” Rodman

Dozens of pink and white balloons with messages like “We will never forget you,” and “Your smiles will live on forever” written on them, took high into the blue skies Saturday afternoon. The words were “letters to heaven” written to and in memory of Nichole, Bryn and Madelyn Savoy, a mother and her two young daughters who were killed in an accidental fire at their home, 4220 E. Nancy Ave., Lot 1108, on Jan. 8. Volunteers, friends, family and even many acquaintances came together Saturday at the Knights of Columbus, 205 N. Eighth St., to remember and pay tribute to the 26-year-old mother and her 6- and 1-year-old daughters. At the gathering, balloons of white and pink shades filled the room and small sweet and salty treats tied in bags with pink ribbon decorated the tables. Pink was the girls’ favorite color, and to see the gathering take shape and so many people attend caused mixed emotions for at least one family member. “It feels really good, but it also really hurts,” Kurtis Savoy, Nichole Savoy’s brother-in-law, said during Saturday’s program. “I really appreciate all the work the volunteers have put in.” The benefit, aimed at raising funds for the Savoy Memorial Fund, in care of Price & Sons Funeral Home, featured a silent auction with donated items from individuals and businesses, a bake sale, chili feed and six bands, in addition to four hip-hop artists and an acoustic set. The benefit also featured face painting for balloon animals for the kids, in addition to fire safety information and fire alarms handed out by local fire officials.

Dairy gets a reprieve for its efforts By Amy Bickel
Special to The Telegram
The state has reversed its intent to terminate the operations of a southwest Kansas dairy with officials saying the owners are getting the facility into compliance with state and federal regulations. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment announced this week that CAG Cimarron Dairy has made considerable improvements this month and that the state is withdrawing its notice of intent to terminate the dairy’s water pollution control permit, which the dairy needs to keep running. “The past two weeks, they have accomplished a lot that we asked them to do,” said Terry

Charles Skilling is something of a jack-of-all-trades. The Garden City resident has had more than 50 jobs in his life, few of which have been in the same field. Despite the fact that his experiences have not translated into a defined set of job skills in one particular field, they have made him something of an expert at not only job hunting, but also people in general. “I can identify with almost anybody. I know where most people are coming from,” Skilling said. For more than 25 years, Skilling has been compiling his job hunting experiences, which resulted in him writing a book, “Job Hunting Techniques for Everyone,” published in 2011. “I was teaching at an Indian Reservation in New Mexico and had a lot of free time on my hands, so I wrote the inventory at the back of the book, and then I added more and finally had it published last year,” he said. “I’m going to call them and try to get them distrib-

uted to the school systems and things like that. It’s a really good book to use in a career development class.” The book outlines the do’s and don’ts of landing a job. The topics he covers in the book include everything from handling difficult questions during an interview to filling out applications properly. “The best thing is get up in the morning and get out and hunt for a job. You can’t hunt for a job like you’re on vacation,” he said. “That and master a job application. You have all that information right there. If you’re at home, you can gather up this information very easily. Remember the things you’ve done, the tools you’ve used, that sort of thing.” Vantage Press out of New York pub-

He said it cost him $10,000 to have it published. “I should get a royalty check every six months. I don’t think I’ll ever get my purchase price back, but I had a lot of fun with it,” he said. Skilling began work as a high school counselor, which he says is his favorite of all the positions he has held. He also has worked as a job developer, which translates well into the book.

Program aimed at making kids healthier WASHINGTON, Mo. (AP) — An online program provided at no cost by a churchrun health care system in four states is helping school districts promote health education. The program called HealthTeacher is being provided to districts in Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and Oklahoma — the four states in which the St. Louisbased Sisters of Mercy Health System operates. The Washington Missourian reports that 214 schools have already signed up to use the program. The partnership with an entire health system is a first for HealthTeacher. Its curriculum focuses on physical and mental health, nutrition, injury prevention, anatomy and the dangers of tobacco, alcohol and drug use. Educators decide which lessons to use, and how to use them. Providing the program is part of a $5 million, fiveyear commitment by Sisters of Mercy for health education. “While our children must have a knowledge of the basics, it’s critical we also educate them on how to lead healthy lives,� said Lynn Britton, Mercy president and chief executive officer. At Fifth Street Elementary School in Washington, Mo., first-graders in Erin Bauer’s class came back in from morning recess. Rather than immediately starting a lesson plan, their next assignment was a minute of deep breathing. The image of a blue ball was projected on the classroom’s White Board. As the ball grew larger, the children inhaled; as it grew smaller, they let the air out. Bauer said the HealthTeacher deep breathing app seemed to be paying off.

Suu Kyi galvanizes Myanmar politics DAWEI, Myanmar (AP) — Euphoric seas of supporters waved opposition party flags and offered yellow garlands. They lined crumbling roads for miles and climbed atop trees, cars and roofs as Aung San Suu Kyi spoke at impromptu rallies. Some cried as her convoy passed. Cheered by tens of thousands, the 66-year-old opposition leader electrified Myanmar’s repressive political landscape everywhere she traveled Sunday on her first political tour of the countryside since her party registered to run in a historic ballot that could see her elected to parliament for the first time. “We will bring democracy to the country,� Suu Kyi said to roaring applause as her voice boomed through loudspeakers from the balcony of a National League for Democracy office in the southern coastal district of Dawei. “We will bring rule of law ... and we will see to it that repressive laws are repealed.� As huge crowds screamed “Long Live Daw Aung San Suu Kyi!� and others held banners saying “You Are Our Heart,� she said: “We can overcome any obstacle with unity and perseverance, however difficult it may be.� Suu Kyi’s campaign and by-elections due April 1 are being watched closely by the international community, which sees the vote as a crucial test of whether the military-backed government is really committed to reform. The mere fact that Suu Kyi was able to speak openly in public in Dawei — and her supporters were able to greet her en masse without
Associated Press
Myanmar pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, center, receives flowers from supporters on her arrival in Dawei, south of Yangon, Myanmar, Sunday. fear of reprisal — was proof of dramatic progress itself. Such scenes would have been unthinkable just a year ago, when the long-ruling junta was still in power and demonstrations were all but banned. Suu Kyi’s visit was equivalent to waking a sleeping dragon, said environmental activist Aung Zaw Hein. “People had been afraid to discuss politics for so long,� he said. “Now that she’s visiting, the political spirit of people has been awakened.� Looking into the giant crowds, Hein added: “I’ve never seen people’s faces look like this before. For the first time, they have hope in their eyes.� Businesman Ko Ye said he was ecstatic that Suu Kyi came, and like most people here, he welcomed the recent dramatic changes that made her trip possible. “We are all hoping for democracy,� the 49-year-old said, “but we’re
afraid these reforms can be reversed at anytime.� After nearly half a century of iron-fisted military rule, a nominally civilian government took office last March. The new government has surprised even some of its toughest critics by releasing hundreds of political prisoners, signing cease-fire deals with ethnic rebels, increasing media freedoms and easing censorship laws. Suu Kyi’s party boycotted the 2010 election as neither free nor fair. It sought to have its legal status restored after the government amended electoral laws. Her party has been cleared to offer candidates in the April vote, and an Election Commission ruling on Suu Kyi’s candidacy is expected in February. Some critics are concerned the government is using its opening with Suu Kyi to show it’s committed to reform. The government needs her support to
get years of harsh Western sanctions lifted. On Sunday, Suu Kyi said the opposition had struggled for democracy for decades, but the best way to do that now was to fight “from within parliament.� But she also expressed caution over the challenges ahead. “It’s easy to make problems, but it’s not easy to implement them,� she said. “We have a lot to do.� An NLD victory would be highly symbolic, but her party would have limited power since the legislature is overwhelmingly dominated by the military and the ruling pro-military party. Up for grabs are 48 seats vacated by lawmakers who were appointed to the Cabinet and other posts. Suu Kyi has spent 15 of the past 23 years under house arrest, and as a result, has rarely traveled outside Yangon. Although she conducted one successful day of rallies north of Yangon last year, a previous political tour to greet supporters in 2003 sparked a bloody ambush of her convoy that saw her forcibly confined at her lakeside home. She was finally released from house arrest in late 2010, just days after the elections that installed the current government and led to the junta’s official disbandment. Suu Kyi met with party members in Dawei, including one running for a parliament seat. She will make similar political trips to other areas, including the country’s second-largest city, Mandalay, in early February before officially campaigning for her own seat, party spokesman Nyan Win said.

Vienna Lee reckons there hasn’t been a new home built in Rolla in at least a decade. “It may have been 15 years ago,� she says of the town of 400, which is in the semiarid plains of Morton County in the far southwestern corner of Kansas. Rolla is about a 45-minute drive from the closest “big� city of Guymon, Okla., which has a population of more than 10,000 people. And it’s in these parts that the blowing dirt of the 1930s caused some in the heart of the Dust Bowl to move away. On Black Sunday in 1935, a man climbed to the top of the Rolla water tower and took a picture of the billowing cloud of dust that was heading toward town. He then sent it to the president of the United States, according to the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library and Museum. “Dear Mr. Roosevelt, Darkness came when it hit us. Picture taken from the water tower one hundred feet high. Yours Truly, Chas P. Williams.� That, however, was more than 75 years ago. There are few dark days in Rolla, except when an occasional storm cloud rolls in. Moreover, folks here are investing in growth, says Lee, the county’s economic development director. Morton County resident David Light donated 10 lots inside the Rolla city limits a few years back to give away free to anyone who would build a home there. Then he went to the bank and asked officials to set aside $1 million in financing. Meanwhile, the county commission extended its tax increment financing to include new homes, Lee said. The effort is comparable to what a few other communities across
Kansas are trying — luring residents to town with free land if they build and maintain their property. It also, in essence, echoes the Homestead Act of 1862, which offered pioneers ownership of a quarter section if they improved the land. The goal is to attract residents and businesses to rural communities in an effort to boost population and support smalltown businesses and schools. City officials now have one taker, Lee said. The new home being built by Jason Larue, a Kansas Bureau of Investigation agent, and his family, is 30 days from completion. “We have nine lots left,� Lee said. “It has been so exciting. I know other small communities have given away land, but I didn’t know how successful it would be for us.� The venture could also help sustain the town’s Class 1A school, she added. Rolla is not the only town in the county benefiting from rural reinvestment. Morton County took advantage of Gov. Sam Brownback’s Rural Opportunity Zone program that helps repay student loans to those who
Grilled
move into a designated county. Elkhart, the county seat town with a population of 2,200, now has a new physical therapist at the county hospital, Lee said. “This definitely helps� rural Kansas, Lee said. “Any incentives we can offer that people can take advantage of are an asset.� Those interested in the free lot program can call the city at (620) 593-4777 or visit www.rollakansas. com.
Community efforts across Kansas Across Kansas, other towns are finding ways to stop decline and stay viable. Here are a few of the efforts: • ď Žâ€œCheck out the Neighborhood Nook,â€? says Mark Goehring, executive vice president of the Farmers State Bank in Oakley, population 2,000, of a new eatery in his city, noting it has good eats as well as homemade pie and ice cream. Those stopping by the city also should see the student-run theater, Goehring said. The Palace
Theatre closed in 2001 and remained closed until 2003, when community members purchased it. Each year, a new group of seniors takes over the theater management. This year, 11 students are involved in accounting, ordering supplies, advertising, paying bills, and employment. They are learning the skills it takes to run a business. In 2009, the Palace switched to digital and can now play 3D movies. • In the Graham County town of Morland, population 160, the Morland Community Foundation is in the process of reopening a closed rural grocery store. The old store building has been renovated. The original hardwood floors and tin ceilings are still in place. Morland lost its grocery store in 2006 when its owners retired and closed the store. Morland Community Foundation President Faye Minium said volunteers are still working to get refrigeration equipment installed in the building. Then they will begin to look for a manager. “We’re in hopes we can be open sometime in the second quarterâ€? this year, she said.

THE GARDEN CITY TELEGRAM
Woman forms club to help bullying victims PRAIRIE VILLAGE (AP) — A different kind of fight is going on at the Fight Club in a Kansas City suburb in northeast Kansas, where teenagers are hitting back at bad emotions caused by bullies and working to build self-confidence instead of slugging each other. The Fight Club classes at the Title Boxing Club in Prairie Village are offered free to teens who have been bullied, who want to help their friends stand up to bullies, or who just need to let off some steam in a safe way, The Kansas City Star reported. Holly Reynolds, who started the program, said she can’t call it a selfdefense class for legal reasons. But the club isn’t even about fighting, she said. Instead, it concentrates on getting people fit and feeling strong. “People tried to get me to change the name to make it more accessible, but I was very determined,” Reynolds told The Star. “That was the name that came to my head, because growing up is a fight. You’ve got to fight to be heard, you’ve got to fight to be understood. Some of these kids have to fight to get themselves out of bed in the morning and drag themselves to school. It’s a constant struggle. “The metaphor went well with what we’re doing. We’re not necessarily telling these kids go out and fight. We’re giving them the mindbody connection that comes from boxing and kickboxing.” Kelli Beurman, a grade school teacher from Olathe, hoped her 14-year-old daughter would learn some self-confidence from the classes. She said Annie, now a freshman, has been bullied since fourth grade. “I thought it would give her a sense of empowerment in case she would ever need to defend herself,” Beurman said. “Because part of dealing with someone who is bothering you is just knowing that you can.” Reynolds, an aesthetician, said she was bullied in high school because of her weight and also had a gay friend who was harassed because of his sexual orientation. She said she got thick-skinned and hardened by the experience. “So I know from experience that there’s a better way to go rather than internalizing those emotions. It makes you mad at the world, really. And it doesn’t have to be that way. There are people who care,” she said. Two years ago, Reynolds signed up for boxing classes at Title Boxing while she was experiencing postpartum depression and said it “was the best thing I ever did for my confidence, for my power.” So she asked her instructor and trainer at Title Boxing, to help her organize a program with an antibullying message for teens. The owner of the Prairie Village location donated the space, while other members volunteered to help. Reynolds also lined up such speakers as the CEO of the YMCA of Greater Kansas City and women from the Kansas City Roller Warriors. DaRon Lash, a 15-year-old freshman at Shawnee Mission West, joined up after having run-ins with school bullies. “I didn’t know what to do,” he told the newspaper. “I just stood there and took it. I was afraid I was going to get my face punched in.” The teen is determined to help other kids in the same situation. “He said, ‘Grandpa, I really don’t put up with that,”’ said his grandfather, Dan Lash of Overland Park. “That’s the reason he wanted to join.”

Issues sign of doubt about Kobach’s plan TOPEKA (AP) — Secretary of State Kris Kobach is tired of excuses. He says educational television ads are ready, free copies of birth certificates are available, and a state computer upgrade should be done in time to require that all new Kansas voters show proof of U.S. citizenship — ahead of the presidential elections. Kobach and his supporters, mostly fellow conservative Republicans, have been fighting to get the new law to take effect in June instead of next January, and this week he’ll take his case to the Legislature. Citing the usual surge in voter registration ahead of presidential elections, Kobach says it is counterproductive — and increases the chances of voter fraud — to wait until next year. Critics have been fighting back, initially against the overall law but now honing on its implementation: How will new voters learn about the changes? Who should pay for newly required documents? And will a $40 million state computer upgrade be finished in time to allow for the electronic transfer of passports, birth certificates and other vital documents? “They keep coming up with excuses,” Kobach said during an interview with The Associated Press. “If one excuse is proven false, they come up with another.” But some questions — especially whether the Division of Vehicles’ statewide computer system upgrade will be done by June
NEWS ANALYSIS — are raising concerns among new critics, including moderate Republicans. Last week, as legislators dug into details of the law, questions also surfaced about whether poor residents would be required to pay for copies of their vital records. And some lawmakers, both Democrats and Republicans, are simply irritated that Kobach is crossing into their business. Many considered the debate settled last year, when the Legislature resisted putting the proof-of-citizenship law in place until Jan. 1, 2013, but consented to Kobach’s other request of requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls. “We pass the laws. His job is to implement them,” said Sen. Kelly Kultala, a Kansas City Democrat who serves on the Senate Ethics and Elections Committee. “He’s insulted that we changed his proposal. That’s what it sounds like.” The House Elections Committee plans to hold a hearing Wednesday on Kobach’s proposal to make June 15 the effective date when people who register to vote for the first time in Kansas must provide proof of their citizenship. There’s a good chance the plan will ultimately be approved by the House, where conservative Republicans hold a majority, but there could be enough opposition in the Senate to block the plan. Kobach argues that the
requirement will keep illegal immigrants from registering to vote as part of a broader effort to combat election fraud. A former University of Missouri-Kansas City law professor, Kobach is known nationally for advising officials in other states about cracking down on illegal immigration, and he helped draft tough laws in Alabama and Arizona. But, in addition to the ongoing debate about the true extent of voter fraud in Kansas — state reports have shown few cases — Kobach faces skepticism about whether Kansas can adequately educate voters if the proof-ofcitizenship rule takes effect six months ahead of schedule. He said television ads and printed materials are ready now. Some lawmakers are skeptical that the $300,000 set aside for the campaign is enough, but Kobach said broadcasters are agreeing to provide one public-service announcement slot for every paid ad. But it is the Division of Vehicles’ ongoing computer upgrade that has most legislators on edge. Part of the project comes in response to a federal law pushing states to verify that residents are living in the U.S. legally before issuing them driver’s licenses. Kansas already requires proof of legal status when it issues a new license, but with the computer upgrade, the same proof will be required the next time anyone in Kansas renews a license. By 2019, every Kansas license is supposed to indicate whether some-
one is a citizen and the Division of Vehicles must store the supporting documents electronically. Officials in the Department of Revenue, which oversees the Division of Vehicles, have told legislators the agency would be ready to transfer its files to election officials if the proof-of-citizenship rule took effect in June. But some lawmakers and critics of Kobach’s plan aren’t as confident and question whether other state agencies could be prepared by June. Legislators asked whether the state Department of Health and Environment was ready to issue free birth certificates to poor Kansas residents who need the document to register to vote. Officials acknowledged some confusion about whether the new law requires the free documents had to be offered now or next year, but they’ve settled the issue in favor of now. The health department believes the necessary request forms will be ready and online this week. Still, Democrats and moderate Republicans are resisting moving up the enforcement of the proofof-citizenship rule. However, Kobach won his job as secretary of state in 2010 by a 59 percent margin with a central campaign theme of combatting election fraud — so it’s unlikely he’ll back down and, chances are, his critics will center their fight on poking holes in his plan.

Dairies have their day Dairy summit takes center stage at final day of Farm and Ranch Show. By SHAJIA AHMAD sahmad@gctelegram.com
The Garden City Farm and Ranch Show came to a close Saturday, following a successful run for vendors, speakers and other attendees alike, many said. The three-day program that started Thursday at the Finney County Exhibition Building featured more than 60 exhibitors, country music and related programs to showcase the agricultural industry. Specific to Saturday, the show highlighted a new venture this year: a dairy summit, featuring experts from Kansas State University and others vested in the industry. One of those experts was Mike Brouk, a KSU professor of animal sciences, who spoke to Saturday’s crowd, affirming that the dairy industry is one of the mainstays of the state’s economy. Brouk, who has been studying the dairy industry for 12 years, said the population of dairy cows in Kansas has grown by about 25 percent in the last decade and a half, primarily due to expansions in western Kansas. “There’s a real significant and real steep growth curve,” Brouk said, adding that the state now

According to the Dairy Research 2010 Report of Progress, a KSU publication, Kansas has about 118,000 dairy cows statewide. Brouk attributed some of the successes to the dairy industry’s expansion in this part of the state not only to the vast and empty expanses quite suited for dairy farms to grow, but also to what he assessed has been the enthusiasm of locales to aggressively pursue and support their dairies. “Communities here are very interested in it,” Brouk said. “Western Kansas is used to large-
scale agriculture, and we also have avid feed resources. (But) in my time at KSU, I’ve learned that communities are interested in dairymen and their families. The dairy industry is still largely a family business. ... It is really a partnership between the families and the community.” The dairy summit featured presentations by other KSU professors, including Jeff Stevenson and Barry Bradford, both from the animal sciences and industry department at KSU; and Gregg Hanzlicek, a KSU professor of veterinary medicine. The many dozens of vendors who came to sell their products and
meet existing clients or make new ones at this year’s show included farm equipment companies, irrigation services, seed and feed and chemical businesses and even home improvement groups. Angie Ragsdale, representing Heinrichs Harvesting from Davenport, Neb., said this was the third year the custom wheat-cutting company has attended the local farm show to gauge new business. “We try to see if anyone needs help. ... We meet a lot of friendly farmers, Amish, and mainly those involved with farming and irrigation,” she said. “We like the people we meet here, and for us, it’s almost like a vacation.” Other vendors echoed similar sentiments about time spent at the farm show. “We work up here a lot, but we’ve never been to this show before,” said Sherry Nash, a representative of Production Plus Irrigation Well Rejuvenation who helps run the Portales N.M.-based business with Dave Nash. “We use a chemical cleaning process, and we’re unique and have been in business 30 years. With people involved in agriculture, this is our customer base. We’ve enjoyed meeting and visiting with people here.” This was the fourth year for the farm and ranch show. The multiday program is sponsored by the Mid America Ag Network through its parent company, Steckline Communications, which owns several area radio stations, including KGGS, KGYN, KYUL and KIUL.

government building in her town. Another’s body was hung on the street. There are words I have come to better understand besides femicidio. One is “impunity.” It is a horrible concept that is reduced to this: You want to beat up a stranger, your wife or girlfriend, murder her, torture her, kidnap her, slice her up or sell her. You can do it, and chances are nothing will ever happen to you. Sick minds, macho minds, have free rein because the government does little to stop the violence against women. So there is another word, “simulacion,” or in English “simulation”: A government says it is doing one thing when in fact it is doing nothing. Sound familiar? And finally there is “invisibilizar,” the verb to make something invisible. The women who speak up are dismissed, told they are locas, told that all of their daughters were part of the narcotics business or wanted to run away. You don’t say that when the numbers show your country, and therefore your government, has a human-rights crisis on its hands, this time one specifically affecting one gender. Mexico, you have un grande problema. It’s time to do something about it.
his Kansas Day, Jan. 29, marked the end of our sesquicentennial year. To celebrate, Gov. Sam Brownback’s office released a list of 12 notable events and developments that have shaped us. The list includes the development of overland trails in the 1820s, which facilitated the westward movement of pioneers; the Indian Removal Act of 1838, which forcibly moved Native American tribes from the east to Kansas; and the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which turned the Kansas Territory into “bloody Kansas,” as abolitionists and pro-slavery forces battled for control. Brownback’s historians also listed several major economic developments, including the expansion of railroads, and the introduction of wheat and cattle in the early years of statehood. The 1920s emergence of the aviation industry in Wichita helped turn a cow town into urban area. Rural electrification (government did something right?) in the late 1930s brought modernity to rural areas. Also listed is the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, which for many rural areas of Kansas represents the starting point of a long-term trend toward depopulation. Properly included in Brownback’s list are the impacts of Kansans on the reform movements of the late 1800s and early 1900s, including prohibition, populism and progressivism. Even though Kansas was not the center of the Civil Rights movement, Brown vs. Topeka Board of Education in 1954 is the hallmark case in the epic struggle against segregation and represents the modern beginning of the long, slow process of the United States providing equal rights to all historically oppressed groups. Last but certainly not least is the inclusion of women’s rights in the 1859 Wyandotte Constitution, which became the Kansas constitution upon admission to the union in 1861. This list provides Kansans some food for thought, because within each of these movements and events are individuals who stepped up to provide us with examples of true leadership: profiles of courage, to be sure. For example, take Clarina Irene Howard Nichols. She and her family were Vermont abolitionists, who packed up their belongings in 1857 to settle in the Kansas Territory, a territory rife with violence. Moving here, she sought to assure that Kansas would be a “Free State.” Nichols and the many other abolitionists who settled the Kansas Territory were people of conviction. They matched words and principle with action. Nichols is important for Kansas history for another reason. In 1859, she was one of the few women allowed to participate, but not vote, in drafting of the Wyandotte Constitution. She used an Abolitionist’s emphasis on Christianity, combined with a focus on motherhood, to successfully promote women’s rights. As a consequence, the Wyandotte Constitution granted women the right to own property and a homestead exemption, naming them as equal partners. Women also won the right to control their earnings, divorce men if they were abusive, child custody and the right to vote in local school board elections. The convention might have granted women the right to vote in all elections, but delegates feared that Congress would reject the constitution if it included this provision. Even so, the Wyandotte Constitution placed Kansas at the vanguard of the women’s rights movement in the 1860s. In the lower chamber of the Kansas Capitol, the names of famous men associated with the founding of the state can be read above the windows of that renovated space. Perhaps we should make room for one more name: Clarina Irene Howard Nichols. She is a leader who is deserving of this honor and recognition. Happy Kansas Day!

s wind whipped through southwest Kansas Friday, it brought with it a report that was no surprise in singling out Kansas for strides in one area of energy development. The American Wind Energy Association report showed the Sunflower State leading the nation in the number of wind turbines under construction. The wind industry’s fourth-quarter report had Kansas with 663 turbines under construction, and the state atop the Should the federal governnationwide ment do more to subsidize construction wind energy development? list with more Add your comments at the end of the online than 1,188 version of this editorial at megawatts of GCTelegram.com/opinion. wind power scheduled to come on line this year. Kansas also ranked 14th in installed wind power generation — with plenty of momentum to climb that list. The ample supply of wind in Kansas — ranked second among windiest states, with Texas first — wasn’t the only driving force in new turbines, however, as a federal production tax credit helped fuel those projects here and beyond. Companies receive a 2.2-cent per kilowatt-hour benefit for the first 10 years of a renewable energy facility’s operation. A $2.5 billion annual investment through those tax credits may sound pricey, but still makes sense as a way to help diversify the nation’s energy portfolio and create jobs the country needs. The tax credit is set to expire at the end of 2012, and Congress shouldn’t let the gridlock of partisan politics stand in the way of its renewal. That said, we know that even as Kansas took the lead in wind turbines under construction, some Kansans — in this region in particular — have remained lukewarm to wind energy development as a Sunflower Electric Power Corp. plant fueled by coal stands ready for expansion in Holcomb. But pursuing wind doesn’t have to mean downplaying coal-fired energy. It’s worth noting that the proposed project at Holcomb also includes provisions for wind, biomass and transmission development that would help promote renewable energy development in western and central Kansas. This state needs a diversified energy strategy that incorporates wind and other renewable sources, without shortchanging plans to build on existing reliable and affordable sources of power — all of which promise to create jobs, fuel local economies and help meet the growing demand for energy.

Giffords shows power of empathy T
he better angels of our national nature sometimes seem to take more time off than we can collectively stand. The assumed breaking up of the country into ideological opponents has created legislative constipation in Washington, and promotes an animus and a hostility that discourage seeing through ideology to the human beings who are thought to be either red or blue. Gabrielle Giffords was elected to Congress and nearly murdered in one of the Southwestern states, good old dusty Arizona, a desert made into a state almost against its will. Today, even with all that has happened since the winning of the West, many think that Arizona should be lived in and governed the way it was back in the supposedly good old days. The good old days were when a man and his gun, a woman and her gun or a child with his or her gun were a couple essential to individual survival and the ability to defend oneself against savages and murderous criminals. Those considered savages were once called Indians but are now called Native Americans, yet the criminals, like all criminals, now obviously come in all colors, all religions and both sexes. At the worst moments, civilization seems under threat. When a woman like Giffords, while delivering a political address in a Tucson parking lot, can be shot as six others were killed and a number wounded by a murderer as swift and ruthless as Geronimo was, the question of what constitutes an actual savage is much more obvious. Because there was so much easily documented racism faced by American Indians, so much corruption imposed upon them, along with disease and almost anything one could do to the members of a supposedly contemptible group, such victims of wrong-
COMMENTARY Stanley Crouch King Features Syndicate
ful power are sentimentalized to the point of having no more than a different world view. Were there Indian savages? Sure. But the fact is that they were not all Indians, and those who were so willing to do them in usually had other objectives, like land, water and resources. Those objectives made them as savage as anybody else at whom they could point. Sometimes, savages are so loose between the ears that they can only be described as insane. But we are too often guilty of sleeping throughout troubles until awakened by the horrified screams that follow slaughter. We now know the Tucson massacre was committed by a man mad at the world and as savage in his conspiracy theories as anyone committing gruesome acts in Darfur, in Eastern Europe, in Asia, in Latin America. The facts now tell us that savagery is an equal-opportunity force that will push whichever individuals it can across the line of civilized action to gruesomely savage actions against those whom they feel are threatening them. The gunman charged with intending to kill Giffords was in his early 20s and was identified as Jared Lee Loughner. The men and women who disarmed and subdued Loughner when he paused to reload were all selfless and filled with a spontaneous response of the highest and bravest quality. Perhaps the most ironic American was Daniel Hernandez, the 20-year-old intern who moved through all of the hysteria and went to help Giffords, not pausing because of the risk. Hernandez was ironi-
cally American because he is as far from the stereotypes about people with Spanish surnames as one could get in a state that has been struggling with the xenophobia that always comes in hard economic times. Though a young man, he is obviously not a child of the narcissistic self-obsession promoted by our popular culture. He is a superb realization of American possibility, some of which is about empathy, courage and discipline. This week of the State of the Union address by President Barack Obama, many were deeply touched by the presence of Giffords and the announcement sent to YouTube in which she explained that resigning from Congress was important so that she could work on her health. The health we continue to improve in our society is a profound motion away from bigotry, hysteric or calm hostility, and the willingness to never address problems such as gun control, which Giffords understood quite well long before she was almost murdered by a man whose brain had been rotted away by conspiracy theories, a far-toocommon national disease. The apparently intense grateful emotion expressed in support of Giffords actually crossed party lines, colors, classes, religions and so on. This level of gratitude for her willingness to fight against what would have been destruction had she not had herself, her husband and all of the human energy provided by those who knew her personally or only heard of her through the news did something we should never forget. In all, it said easily penetrating things about the empathy at the root of civilization anywhere in the entire world.

Women, words, violence in Mexico F
emicidio. Femicide. The female counterpart to homicide. It is a concept our country has been less exposed to than, for example, Mexico, Honduras or Guatemala, where the word femicidio is seen on the front pages of newspapers much too often. The phenomenon of gender-based murder, rape and violence is so massive in these parts of the world that the Nobel Women’s Initiative, a project based in Canada and led by women who have won the Nobel Peace Prize, undertook an all-women fact-finding delegation to get firsthand accounts and investigate. I was asked to join the delegation as an embedded journalist. The delegation was led in Mexico by Jody Williams, who won the Peace Prize in 1997 for her campaign against land mines. In Mexico, the delegates spent two days listening to dozens of horrible stories about women who had been murdered, raped, tortured, disappeared or threatened. Women came from all over the country to tell their stories to 11 Canadian and American women, among them singer Sarah Harmer, human-rights expert Lisa VeneKlasen, journalist Paula Todd and activist-blogger Veronica Arreola. The fact that working women with kids would travel 15 hours to speak to us for about seven minutes each touched the delegates. Mariusa Lopez, a long-

time women’s human-rights activist, said: “They have knocked on so many doors, and they have been closed. You came to hear them. They will do what they can to tell their stories to the world, a world that wants to listen.” On the second day, we traveled to the state of Guerrero, one of the poorest in Mexico, where one-third of the population is indigenous. There continues to be an institutional racism toward indigenous people. In Chilpancingo, we heard stories about young and middle-aged women treated like dirt by hospitals or ambulance services, resulting in deaths and stillborn births. Another woman was kidnapped two months ago for being a human-rights activist. Left behind are her two daughters, 21 and 26 years old. “I am not afraid to die. I just want to see my mother free before that happens,” said the 21-year-old, who is having to negotiate for her mother’s freedom with shadowy people of the criminal underworld, along with government officials who may know her whereabouts. The female journalists who tell these stories also have been murdered. One was beheaded, with her head thrown onto the steps of a

Davis, Dujardin win lead honors at SAG awards LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Deep South drama “The Help” won three prizes Sunday at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, including best actress for Viola Davis and supporting actress for Octavia Spencer. “The Help” also claimed the guild’s ensemble award, the show’s equivalent of a best-picture prize. Davis and Spencer won as black maids going public with uneasy truths about their white employers in 1960s Mississippi. Jean Dujardin won the lead-actor honor for “The Artist” as a silent-film superstar whose career crumbles when the sound era arrives. Christopher Plummer won for supporting actor as an elderly dad who comes out as gay in “Beginners.” The wins boost the actors’ prospects for the
same honors at the Feb. 26 Academy Awards. Plummer would become the oldest actor ever to win an Oscar at age 82, two years older than Jessica Tandy when she won best actress for “Driving Miss Daisy.” Backstage, Plummer joked about whether he would like to win an Oscar, an honor so elusive during his esteemed 60-year career that he did not even receive his first Academy Award nomination until two years ago, for “The Last Station.” “No, I think it’s frightfully boring,” Plummer said. “That’s an awful question. Listen, we don’t go into this business preoccupied by awards. If we did, we wouldn’t last five minutes.” Spencer, a veteran actress who had toiled in small TV and movie parts previously, had a breakout role in “The Help” as a brassy maid
whose mouth continually gets her in trouble. “I’m going to dedicate this to the downtrodden, the under-served, the underprivileged, overtaxed — whether emotionally, physically or financially,” Spencer said. On the television side, comedy series awards went to “Modern Family” for best ensemble; Alec Baldwin as best actor for “30 Rock”; and Betty White as best actress for “Hot in Cleveland.” “You can’t name me, without naming those other wonderful women on ‘Hot in Cleveland,”’ the 90-yearold White said. “This nomination belongs to four of us. Please, please know that I’m dealing them right in with this. I’m not going to let them keep this, but I’ll let them see it.” The TV drama show winners were: Jessica Lange as
best actress for “American Horror Story”; and Steve Buscemi as best actor for “Boardwalk Empire,” which also won the ensemble prize. For TV movie or miniseries, Kate Winslet won as best actress for “Mildred Pierce,” while Paul Giamatti was named best actor for “Too Big to Fail.” Before the official ceremony, the Screen Actors Guild presented its honor for best film stunt ensemble to “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.” The TV stunt award went to “Game of Thrones.” The winners at the SAG ceremony typically go on to earn Oscars. All four acting recipients at SAG last year later took home Oscars — Colin Firth for “The King’s Speech,” Natalie Portman for “Black Swan” and Christian Bale and Melissa
Leo for “The Fighter.” The same generally holds true for the weekend’s other big Hollywood honors, the Directors Guild of America Awards, where Michel Hazanavicius won the feature-film prize Saturday for “The Artist.” The Directors Guild winner has gone on to earn the best-director Oscar 57 times in the 63-year history of the union’s awards show. The guild’s ensemble prize, considered the ceremony’s equivalent of a bestpicture honor, has a spotty record at predicting what will win the top award at the Oscars. While “The King’s Speech” won both honors a year ago, the SAG cast recipient has gone on to claim the top Oscar only eight times in the 16 years since the guild added the category.

job hunting experiences has been more about learning from mistakes than from successes. “A lot of people limit their options to unemployment centers or newspapers, but there are a lot more places to find leads than that,” he said. “If you get an interview, you have a pretty good chance of getting hired, but in one
instance, I kept on talking and I think I talked myself right out of the job.” He also believes that younger people should find a career path and stay on it. “That’s the reason I say early on, get your education and training and then follow it on up. Get in your job. Don’t just bounce around from place to place. The person who has had 10 jobs in 10 years isn’t worth
much. The guy who has had one job in 10 years is a pretty valuable employee,” he said. There have been several positives to his varied career path, however. Born in Garden City, he also has had the opportunity to live in Texas, Illinois, Colorado, New Mexico and Nebraska. “Every time you go somewhere, you learn something about their
culture. I lived in Lincoln, Neb., and became a Nebraska football fan. Wherever you go, they have their own culture,” he said. “As far as the geography goes, Anna, Ill., was the most beautiful. ... My favorite place is Garden City, though.” Skilling has a bachelor of science in education and psychology from Emporia State University and a master’s degree in
education and counseling from Fort Hays State University. He also served in the Army. Although Skilling, in his mid-60s, is currently unemployed, it is by choice. “I get military compensation, so I decided I’m just going to sit back and enjoy it for a while,” he said In the meantime, he is writing another book and has ideas for several more, even if it is just for fun.
Kansas tops in new wind power construction By Dan Voorhis The Wichita Eagle
(MCT) — Kansas has been an underperformer in wind energy compared to some other states, but that’s about to change. Kansas, ranked 14th among states in installed wind generation, is sched-

uled to see an increase this year of 1,188 megawatts of wind generating capacity -- the most of any state, according to the American Wind Energy Association. That will nearly double the state’s existing 1,277 megawatts of installed wind power generation. Much of the wind
power generated in the state remains here because of the aggressive role of Westar Energy in developing or buying wind farms. Dorothy Barnett, executive director of the Climate and Energy Project, said wind power supplies 7 percent of Kansas’ electrical demand. Nationwide, the wind
industry is set to install more than 8,300 megawatts this year, up from the 6,810 megawatts installed in 2011. This will be a big year for wind farm openings as developers race to cash in before a key tax credit expires at end of the year. “If the production tax credit isn’t extended, much
of that will stop next year,” Barnett said. “That is what we are hearing from the industry. “For us in Kansas, that not only impacts jobs, but because we have such a growing supply base, with Siemens and the other companies, we could get a double whammy.”
Memory: Paying tribute Continued from Page A1
Kent Williams, from Fiz Gig, one of the bands that performed Saturday night, said the idea behind Saturday’s fundraiser started as a plan to offer the proceeds of a show they originally planned to do that night at another venue. “After that, people got behind us, and the tiny little rock show turned into a huge concert,” Williams said. Though the drummer admitted he never knew the Savoys, he’s done his part over the past three weeks to spearhead Saturday’s event in their memory. About 40 volunteers helped serve food, run raffles and the auction, in addition to nearly 100 businesses that donated items for the event. “It’s just beautiful, really. The community has done so much to make this happen. ... We went from a zerodollar budget, and with the zero dollars we’ve been able to put together this amazing event,” Williams said. “We’re a community, but Garden City is also a family community. We want to show our support and love for Mike’s girls.” Mike Savoy is Nichole’s husband and father to the girls, Nichole Savoy was born Dec. 16, 1985, in McCook, Neb., the daughter of Rudy C. Overton and Patricia M. Kincaid. She was a receptionist at Mid-west Body Shop in Garden City. Bryn Savoy was born Aug. 15, 2005, in Wichita. She was a firstgrader at Jennie Barker Elementary School. Madelyn Rae “Sissy” Savoy was born June 26, 2010, in Garden City. The family members attended Cornerstone Church in Garden City.

said. “It would be good for Kansas agriculture.” Now, a coalition of business interests is preparing to push the idea in Topeka. Details are expected to emerge this week about a bill establishing the outline of a state-managed worker program. Operating in cooperation with the federal government, it would link sponsor companies with illegal immigrants who have been in Kansas a minimum of five years
and have no criminal background. One potential candidate would be a person who entered Kansas on a visa that expired years ago. The employees and employers would pay fees that would support the program, ensuring the state incurred no oversight cost. Mike Beam, senior vice president of the Kansas Livestock Association, said the objective was to secure a reliable, regulated labor pool to the state’s businesses. Despite the recession, there are counties in rural
Kansas with unemployment rates half the state average. “This will be very limited,” Beam said. “It would be an agreement between the state of Kansas and Homeland Security.” Other groups backing the idea include the Kansas Chamber of Commerce and local chamber affiliates, the Kansas Farm Bureau and building industry organizations. This is the same coalition that contributed in the 2011 session to blocking a version of

and was founded by Jacob Koopman. In 1995, because of limited expansion possibilities and the drive for long-term growth, Jack Koopman, the third-generation dairyman, and his wife, Angeline, immigrated to Germany. In 2006, the dairy company expanded into Russia and into the United States when it acquired Cimarron Dairy. In 2007, it leased West Plains Dairy in Scott County. That dairy also had health violations at that facility, Medley said, but CAG no longer operates that dairy. Medley said that the Koopmans said there were some internal communication issues that resulted in the noncompliance.
away with it, fewer illegal aliens would come to Kansas,” he said. Sen. Mark Taddiken, a Clifton Republican and chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, said the state’s labor force needed to be solid to allow agricultural production to expand. “They’re having trouble finding people,” Taddiken said. “The agricultural sector is looking for reliability.” Rodman, the state’s agriculture secretary, said he
would leave promotion of state legislation to others and would focus on making his case to Homeland Security. “I told them to let me do something out in western Kansas,” said Rodman, who has traveled as secretary to the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico in an attempt to recruit people interested in agricultural careers in Kansas. That shows promise, but the payoff would be slow. “Let me fix the system a little bit,” he said.

Medley, KDHE’s Livestock Waste Management Section chief. “They have a lot of the initial stuff cleaned up.” According to a document filed in the Kansas Register, dairy owner Jack Koopman is permitted to operate a 9,050-head facility in Gray County. The dairy has four lagoons, three retention structures, three basins and 19 drying beds to control waste generated at the facility. KDHE’s initial intent was published Jan. 5 in the Kansas Register. The notice stated that the dairy had failed to comply with the current permit, state and federal requirements and a consent agreement and final order that the dairy entered in October 2009. Medley said earlier this month that the dairy had several violations since the Koopmans purchased it in 2006. KDHE issued an administrative order in April 2009 for numerous violations, according to the notice. At that time, the dairy paid $40,000 for its violations, Medley said. The dairy, however, never fixed the problems cited. “The permittee has had
a long and continuing history of permit violations; therefore, KDHE is public noticing its intent to terminate the permit,” the Jan. 5 document stated. Medley said he and others met on the issue Wednesday. He said CAG already has fixed more than half of its problems, which helped spur the agency to reverse its decision. The Koopmans must have a majority of the remaining issues resolved by March 15, he said. The Koopmans’ other dairy, in Deerfield, doesn’t have any current violations, he said.

Oil spill brings attention to delicate Gulf coast TIVOLI, Texas (AP) — For decades, farmers and fishermen along the Gulf of Mexico watched as their sensitive ecosystem’s waters slowly got dirtier and islands eroded, all while the country largely ignored the destruction. It took BP PLC’s well blowing out in the Gulf — and the resulting environmental catastrophe when millions of gallons of oil spewed into the ocean and washed ashore — for the nation to turn its attention to the slow, methodical ruin of an ecosystem vital to the U.S. economy. Last month, more than a year and a half after the spill began, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced a three-year, $50 million initiative designed to improve water quality along the coast. “I’m not going to say that it’s the silver lining,” Will Blackwell, a district conservationist with the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Services, said of the oil spill. Blackwell is one of many regional officials who have long worked with farmers and ranchers to fence cattle, reseed native grasses and take on other seemingly inane projects that go a long way toward preventing pollu-

Time short for Gingrich to close gap in Florida MIAMI (AP) — Newt Gingrich slammed GOP rival Mitt Romney on Sunday for the steady stream of attacks he likened to “carpet-bombing,” trying to cut into the resurgent front-runner’s lead in Florida in the dwindling hours before Tuesday’s pivotal presidential primary. Surging ahead in polls, Romney kept the pressure on Gingrich, casting him at an appearance in south Florida as an influence peddler and continuing his heavy advertising blitz questions the former House speaker’s ethics. In what has become a wildly unpredictable race, the momentum has swung back to Romney, staggered last weekend by Gingrich’s victory in South Carolina. Romney has begun advertising in Nevada ahead of that state’s caucuses next Saturday, illustrating the challenges ahead for Gingrich, who has pledged to push ahead no matter what happens in Florida. An NBC News/Marist poll published Sunday showed Romney with support from 42 percent of likely Florida primary voters, compared with 27 percent for Gingrich. Romney’s campaign has dogged Gingrich at his own campaign stops, sending surrogates to remind reporters of Gingrich’s House ethics probe in the 1990s and other episodes in his career. Gingrich reacted defensively, accusing the former Massachusetts governor and a political committee that supports him of lying, and the GOP’s establishment of allowing it. “I don’t know how you debate a person with civility if they’re prepared to say things that are just plain factually false,” Gingrich said during appearances on Sunday talk shows. “I think the Republican establishment believes it’s OK to say and do virtually anything to stop a genuine insurgency from winning because they are very afraid of losing control of the old order.” Gingrich objected specifically to a Romney campaign ad that includes a 1997 NBC News report on the House’s decision to discipline Gingrich, then speaker, for ethics charges. Romney continued to paint Gingrich as part of the very Washington establishment he condemns and someone who had a role in the nation’s economic problems. “Your problem in Florida is that you worked for Freddie Mac at a time when Freddie Mac was not doing the right thing for the
American people, and that you’re selling influence in Washington at a time when we need people who will stand up for the truth in Washington,” Romney told an audience in Naples. Gingrich’s consulting firm was paid more than $1.5 million by the federallybacked mortgage company over a period after he left Congress in 1999. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, trailing in Florida by a wide margin, stayed in his home state, where his 3-year-old daughter, Bella, was hospitalized. She has a genetic condition caused by the presence of all or part of an extra 18th chromosome. Aides said he would resume campaigning as soon as possible. Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who has invested little in Florida, looked ahead to Nevada. The libertarian-leaning Paul is focusing more on gathering delegates in caucus states, where it’s less expensive to campaign. But securing the nomination only through caucus states is a hard task. The race began moving toward a two-person fight in South Carolina, and has grown more bitter and personal in Florida. The intense effort by Romney to slow Gingrich is comparable his strategy against Gingrich in the closing month before Iowa’s leadoff caucuses Jan. 3. Gingrich led in Iowa polls, lifted by what were hailed as strong performances in televised debates, only to drop in the face of withering attacks by Romney, aided immensely by ads sponsored by a “super” political action committee run by former Romney aides. Gingrich has responded by criticizing Romney’s conservative credentials. Outside an evangelical Christian church in Lutz, Gingrich said he was the more loyal conservative on key social issues. “This party is not going to nominate somebody who is a pro-abortion, pro-guncontrol, pro-tax-increase liberal,” Gingrich said. “It isn’t going to happen.” But Gingrich, in appearances on Sunday news programs, returned to complaining about Romney’s tactics, rather than emphasizing his own message as that of a conservative with a record of action in Congress. “When we get to a positive idea campaign, I consistently win,” Gingrich said. “It’s only when he can mass money to focus on carpetbombing with negative ads that he gains any traction at all.”
ranchers in the five Gulf states. Now, they are getting an eleven-fold increase in funding, money that will allow them to build on low-profile programs that already have had modest success in cleaning crucial waterways by working with farmers and ranchers to improve land use practices.
The nation’s focus turned sharply to the Gulf when the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig blew up in April 2010. Images of oil-coated birds and wetlands were splashed across newspapers and cable news networks. Coastal wetlands that are habitat to all sorts of wildlife were soiled and oyster beds were
wiped out, underscoring the Gulf’s ecological and economic importance. The project is called the Gulf of Mexico Initiative, the first concrete step from a year’s worth of meetings, studies and talking by the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Task Force, a committee formed by President Barack Obama in the spill’s wake. Sometimes, the money is spent on simple projects, such as building fences and installing troughs to keep cattle away from rivers and creeks that flow into the Gulf. The minerals in cow manure can pollute those upstream waters and then flow into the ocean. Those minerals can deplete oxygen in the Gulf, creating “dead zones” where wildlife can’t thrive. Other times, the program pays for expensive farming equipment that turns soil more effectively and creates straighter rows. That helps keep fertilizers on the farm — where it helps crops — and out of the Gulf, where the nutrients choke oxygen from the water. This equipment also decreases erosion, which has eaten up hundreds of miles of Gulf Coast habitat in the past century.
Until now, most counties in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Texas got right around $100,000 apiece to spend annually on these programs. The demand was far greater in many areas, but money was hard to come by, Blackwell said, highlighting the popularity of the program in Refugio County, Texas — the rural area of Southeast Texas he oversees. The influx of money has many farmers and ranchers — especially those who have reaped the program’s benefits in the past — eager for more opportunities to improve the environment they rely upon for their livelihood. Now, they are hurriedly filling out applications and waiting for officials to rank the paperwork — those considered to have the greatest possible impact are the most likely to be approved. “Fifty million dollars sounds like a lot. But when you consider — Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida and Texas, it’s not going to be enough,” said Glen Wiggins, a Florida farmer applying for help buying new farming equipment. “But it’ll help.”

A well-versed Valentine’s Day card What’s the problem Dear Readers: Want to add something special to a Valentine’s Day card? Since 1947, “The Sweetheart City,” Loveland, Colo., has been hand-stamping cards with a special Valentine’sthemed verse and then sending them on. More than 50 volunteers stamp 150,000-plus cards sent to the town from all 50 states and more than 100 countries! That’s a lot of work! To have your cards specially stamped, address and stamp (45 cents for U.S. postage) each card. (Make sure to add one for yourself !) Place all of these in a large envelope and mail to: Postmaster, Attention: Valentine ReMailing, 446 E. 29th St., Loveland, CO 80538. To be sure your card is delivered by Valentine’s Day, it must be received in Loveland no later than Feb. 9. For destinations outside the United States, cards must be received by Feb. 4 at the latest. — Heloise

Fixing fingernails Dear Readers: Hate finding a chip in the nail polish you’re wearing? I do! Here is a handy hint for how to fix this little problem. I call it “tipping.” First, use a little clear polish to fill in the dent, and let dry. Then use the colored polish and paint a thin layer over your nail. Your nail will be as good as
D ear Heloise: I often receive or buy a beautiful floral arrangement. Instead of leaving as one arrangement, I take the flowers and make several smaller ones. I place one or two flowers in several vases. To add fullness, I search my house for any greenery I might be able to add. For example, I trim my ivy and add that to the vase. I then place the vases in different rooms, or for a different look, put several small ones next to each other. This is one way to really spread the beauty of flowers all through my house. — K.M.C., Rosebud, Texas What a blooming beautiful idea, and one I do myself. One small

Reader weighs interfering in relationship DEAR ANNIE: I have loved a gay man all my life, and I am now 64, so I know a little something about the problem. I work in an office where a 35-year-old man is dating a female co-worker who is 50. I believe they both care for each other, but he is concealing his sexual orientation. I happen to know he has a boyfriend in another city. I have not mentioned this to anyone not only because it could hurt his position in our conservative company, but also because it’s not my business. However, I’ve begun to wonder whether I ought to say something to his girlfriend. She is going through hell. He’s nice to her and takes her out to lunch often, and she reports their doings with stars in her eyes. Then they will fight, and she avoids him while he waits to get back in her good graces. She doesn’t understand what’s going on, and she’s miserable. I don’t think he’s going to tell her the truth, and at this point, she would be furious if she knew he has been leading her on. What would you
ANNIE’S MAILBOX KATHY MITCHELL MARCY SUGAR
suggest? Should I butt in to save her? I still have to work with both of them. — No Name, No City Dear No Name: We strongly urge you to stay out of this. Your female co-worker realizes she is miserable in this relationship, but is still unwilling to break it off. Unless there is physical abuse, relationship issues between coworkers are not your business. It’s very likely that your comments would be resented, and this could damage your work environment. DEAR ANNIE: I am a psychologist with a heartfelt piece of advice for those whose teenage children are struggling with addictions or other issues, and who aren’t facing the situation squarely. Many parents hope their teen will “grow out of it.” The problem is, most don’t. When the child is under age
18, parents still have lots of power. They can sign their child into a treatment center and communicate with the doctors. This power is lost once the child reaches 18. Doctors are not allowed to talk with family members of legal adults unless the child signs consent. And an angry young adult who resists treatment is not likely to sign (or attend treatment, for that matter). Yes, parents can tell the child that treatment is a condition of financial support, but this can backfire because parents are understandably hesitant to force a mentally ill or addicted child onto the street. It breaks my heart to see parents of young adults wringing their hands over their child’s substance abuse, bipolar disorder or whatever, when that child could have been forced into treatment years earlier. Please, parents, recognize this window of opportunity when you have it. — A Concerned Psychologist Dear Concerned: Unfortunately, it can be difficult to recognize the severity of the problem at the time, and some things,
like schizophrenia, are not apparent until the child is older. Parents do the best they can, but those who fear their child is slipping away should make sure to seek help while they still have the opportunity. DEAR ANNIE: I agree with your advice to “LeftOut Sister,” but why does she wait for her older sister to tell her what the Sunday plans are? Why doesn’t she initiate a chat so they can make plans together? Or she could make her own plans with Dad if she wants. She knows that Sunday comes around every week. There’s no reason for her to always be left hanging. She sounds too passive. She needs to get involved and ask what’s up for the weekend and become part of the decision-making. — P.J.

with plastic goods? DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I refill plastic water bottles with regular tap water. When the bottle is empty, I wash it and the cap, and refill it with water. I hear that toxins are released from plastics after reusing them. Reusing is cost-efficient and saves the planet from more trash, but it’s not worth the risk if it endangers health. What’s the potential harm in reusing these bottles? — P.G. The plastic story is complicated and has no unimpeachable, authoritative answer. Most of the attention focuses on bisphenol A, BPA, an ingredient in many plastic containers and in the lining of many cans used in canned foods. A relationship between BPA and heart disease, type 2 diabetes and liver damage has been suggested. It might affect the fetus. And BPA is a weak estrogenlike substance. Some European countries and Canada have banned the use of BPA in baby bottles as a safety precaution. One good aspect of BPA is its quick exit from the body. The American Chemical Council views it as safe. The World Health Organization feels it’s premature to ban it. Our Food and Drug Administration hasn’t issued proceedings to take it off the market. The decision to use BPA plastics is up to the user at the present time. Some safety tips are worth passing along. Don’t use plastics in the microwave or to reheat foods. Heat increases the release of BPA. Limit consumption of foods contained in cans lined with BPA plastics, or look for canned goods in containers without this material. Don’t put BPA-containing plastics in the dishwasher. Look for labels that say “BPA-free.” A “7” on the bottom of plastics indicates BPA. The six major U.S. companies producing baby bottles and infant feeding/ drinking cups have not marketed BPA-containing materials since January 2009. How great the BPA threat is can’t be determined cur-
rently. It has been used in plastic products for more than 40 years, which is somewhat of a testimonial to it. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Do 40 years of so-called social drinking have any effect on your muscles or strength? By “social drinking,” I mean three to four drinks at dinnertime. I play a lot of golf and am losing distance on driving the ball. I am 80 years old and in good shape. I swim, exercise and am very active. Should I cut down on alcohol? The safe alcohol intake for a healthy male is two drinks a day; for women, it’s one. A drink is 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of distilled alcohol (whiskey, hard liquor, whatever you call it). I would advise you to cut back to one drink, partly because of your age. Are you doing any strength-enhancing exercises with weights? They can keep your muscles strong. You don’t have to use heavy weights. Aging probably has more to do with your strength loss than has alcohol, but cut back all the same. TO READERS: The booklet on peripheral artery disease explains this common condition that strikes so many older people. To order a copy, write: Dr. Donohue — No. 109, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My question is: Do physicians other than urologists prescribe Viagra, Levitra and Cialis? — S.C. All licensed physicians prescribe all medicines, including Viagra, Levitra and Cialis. There are fewer urologists than all the other kinds of doctors. Urologists, I’m sure, write prescriptions for these medicines, but since they are in a minority, the majority of prescriptions for erectile dysfunction have to be written by other doctors.

Protesters shout slogans as they carry pictures of Syrian President Bashar Assad and Syrian flags during a demonstration Sunday in front of the Russian Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, to express gratitude for the Russian position in support of Syria. Russia has said it will use its Security Council veto to block any resolution threatening Syria with sanctions or lacking a clear ban on any foreign military interference. Damascus, and the regime’s rising concern about the situation. Although the tightly controlled capital has been relatively quiet since the uprising began, its outskirts have witnessed intense antiregime protests and army defectors have become more visible and active in the past few months. The military has responded with a withering assault on a string of Damascus suburbs in a bid to stamp out the resistance, leading to a spike in violence has killed nearly 100 people since Thursday. The rising bloodshed has added urgency to new attempts by Arab and Western countries to find a resolution to the 10 months of violence, which according to the United Nations has killed at least 5,400 people as Assad seeks to crush persistent protests demanding an end to his rule.
The U.N. is holding talks on a new resolution on Syria and next week will discuss an Arab League peace plan aimed at ending the crisis. But the initiatives face two major obstacles: Damascus’ rejection of an Arab plan that it says impinges on its sovereignty, and Russia’s willingness to use its U.N. Security Council veto to protect Syria from sanctions. Arab League SecretaryGeneral Nabil Elaraby told reporters in Egypt on Sunday that contacts were under way with China and Russia. “I hope that their stand will be adjusted in line with the final drafting of the draft resolution,� he told reporters at before leaving for New York with Qatari Prime Minister Hamad bin Jassim. The two will seek U.N. support for the latest Arab plan to end Syria’s crisis.
The plan calls for a twomonth transition to a unity government, with Assad giving his vice president full powers to work with the proposed government. The Arab League on Saturday halted the work of its observer mission in Syria because of the escalating violence, until the League’s council can meet to decide the mission’s fate. Arab foreign ministers were to meet Sunday in Cairo to discuss the Syrian crisis in light of the suspension of the observers’ work and Damascus’ refusal to agree to the transition timetable, the League said. U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon said he was “concerned� about the League’s decision to suspend its monitoring mission and called on Assad to “immediately stop the bloodshed.� He spoke at an African Union summit in Addis Ababa Sunday.
FBI targets more suspects in Connecticut police scandal EAST HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — The arrests of four police officers accused of tyrannizing Latinos could mark the start of a bigger scandal in this workingclass suburb, where the FBI is targeting additional suspects. The state is preparing for the possibility of widespread arrests that could cripple the town’s police department. Federal prosecutors have urged witnesses to come forward with details of abuses in East Haven, which was rocked by last week’s arrests of the officers. The FBI described them as a “cancerous cadre� that subjected Hispanics to beatings and false arrests. In a community that saw many Hispanics move away at the height of the abuse complaints, one obstacle for investigators is finding victims who are not deterred by fear of police or, in some cases, concerns about their residency status. The officers preyed on illegal immigrants who were unlikely to report abuse, according to the indictment. “Many people are afraid to talk. We have to be careful,� said Wilfrido Matute, the owner of My Country Store, the site of many incidents of alleged harassment of its largely Hispanic clientele. The case adds to a history of friction between police and minorities in East Haven, an increasingly diverse community of 28,000 people that was nearly all white a generation ago. A separate civil rights investigation released last month found a deep-rooted pattern of discriminatory policing, and the town is under pressure from the U.S. Justice Department to make reforms. For the police department, a more immediate concern is the prospect of more arrests.

Lady Buffs drop final test to Bishop Miege at Newton Invitational By BRETT MARSHALL
bmarshall@gctelegram.com
For the second straight year, the Garden City High School girls basketball team headed home from the Newton Invitational with a 1-2 record in the alwaystough mid-season tournament. In the consolation fifth-place game on Saturday, the Lady Buffaloes put together two solid quarters, but struggled offensively in the other two, resulting in a 40-33 loss to traditional powerhouse Shawnee Mission Bishop Miege. For coach David Upton, the three days of seeing different teams, the tournament provided
a mixed review. “Overall, I thought we played pretty well at times, especially in the second game (a 49-36 victory over Rose Hill),” Upton said. “I don’t necessarily like going 1-2, I would have preferred 2-1, but I think we saw a lot of encouraging things from the girls, especially the effort that they gave.” Saturday’s game saw the Lady Buffs jump to an early lead, holding a slender 12-10 margin after one quarter. Then, as they have in other games this season, the offense stalled, scoring just eight points in the middle two periods to fall behind 23-14 at the half and 31-20 after three quarters. “It was one of those days
where we were hit and miss on a number of things,” Upton said. “We had some good shots that normally would fall, and they just didn’t.” Facing that 11-point deficit heading to the final eight minutes, the Lady Buffs rallied with a strong defensive effort. Taryn Tempel scored five points during the early fourth quarter while Abbey Campbell came up with a 3-point play and Casey Curran chipped in with a pair of free throws to cut into the Lady Stags’ lead. With three minutes left, the Lady Buffs were down just two, 33-31. Then, as it has happened before, they couldn’t score again
until just 17 seconds were left in the game. By then, however, Miege had made 8-of-9 free throws to ice the game. Miege’s leading scorer, point guard Alexis Hughes, who had been held in check most of the game, knocked down all eight of her free throws. Illund Shurn, the Stags’ 5-10 center, scored a game-high 14 points, including an 8-of-12 free throw performance. The charity stripe proved to be the difference as Miege was 18-of-24 compared to 9-of-11 for the Lady Buffs. In other final day games, Rose Hill defeated Dodge City for seventh place, 58-50; Andover Central downed Wichita Kapaun-
Mt. Carmel, 51-43, for third place; and Olathe Northwest captured the championship game with a 46-42 win over host Newton. Tempel finished with 11 points to pace Garden City. The Lady Buffs are now 8-6 and will be idle until Friday, when they travel to Winfield for a 6 p.m. contest.

Scott City’s Hayes grabs heavyweight crown at 54th Welton Invitational By BRETT MARSHALL
bmarshall@gctelegram.com
Luke Hayes had waited all Saturday to meet up with Clay Wilcox of Chaparral for the 285pound championship match at the 54th Annual Rocky Welton Wrestling Invitational at The Garden. The wait was worth it for the 6-foot-5-inch Scott City wrestler as he came up with the narrowest of wins, 1-0, over Wilcox, and walked off the mat with his unbeaten record intact at 21-0. Hayes’ triumph was the lone title garnered by area high schools at the prestigious Welton tournament. Only one other area wrestler — Hugoton’s Colten Lissolo at 220 pounds — reached the finals. Lissolo was handed a tough, 42, decision by Hays’ Cash Drylie. For the host Garden City Buffaloes, Saturday was once again a day with mixed results as the Buffs moved up the team scoring ladder, going from 12th to finishing ninth. Of the four wrestlers who advanced to the consolation finals, not one of them could come up with a victory and thus ended with fourthplace finishes. And for historical purposes, it was the final day, final year for the Invitational, once known as the Garden City Invitational, to be held at The Garden. The 2013 edition will debut at the new Garden City High School gymnasium, with a number of exciting additions and changes that will be announced later. Arkansas City claimed the team title with 194.5 points while Newton (169.5), Pine Creek, Colo. (160.5), Andale (144) and Ponderosa, Colo. (123) rounded out the top five. Garden City moved from 12th on Friday to finish ninth in the team chase with 99.5 points. Other area teams
were Scott City in 13th (69.5), Hugoton at 15th (63.5), Ulysses in 17th (49) and Holcomb 27th (8). Western Athletic Conference rivals Hays (95.5), Dodge City (80.5), Great Bend (44) and Liberal (32) finished in 11th, 12th, 18th and 20th. For Hayes, however, in the final match of the night, his anticipation of going against the No. 1-ranked wrestler in Class 3-2-1A, the same class as the Beavers, was every bit as gratifying as the buildup to facing Wilcox. “He’s really a hard one to get in on,” Hayes said of Wilcox after his triumph. “When I knew Chaparral was coming to the tournament, I got pretty excited. It gives me a chance to see how I match up with some of the best.” The two heavyweights battled to a scoreless first period. When Hayes won the flip to decide whether he would take the up or down position for the second period, he didn’t hesitate. “It was my first choice because I think at the heavyweight level, who gets the first escape will always have the edge,” Hayes said. The decision worked as he managed to get the 1-point escape just 20 seconds into the period. From there, it was both wrestlers trying to figure out a way to get a takedown, and neither one could. In the third period, with Wilcox in the down position, Hayes was able to use his superior height to leverage against the Roadrunner wrestler. He managed to to keep the shorter Wilcox from slipping away to tie the score, or to earn any semblance of a 2-point reversal. “I’ve just really been getting into the wrestling the last couple of weeks,” said Hayes, who indicated he will sign a football letter-of-intent on Wednesday with Butler Community College

Scott City’s Luke Hayes, top, grabs the arm of Chaparral’s Clay Wilcox for leverage Saturday in the 285pound championship match of the Rocky Welton Wrestling Invitational at Garden City High School. Hayes took the title with a 1-0 win. in El Dorado. “This builds up my confidence, and it shows I can wrestle with the top ones in Class 3-2-1A.” For Garden City coach Monte Moser, the Buffs’ performance provides him with the knowledge that many of his team’s losses came against top-ranked opponents from other states, as well as other classifications. “We’ll not see this depth of quality, even at the state meet,” Moser said at the conclusion of the meet. “We’ve learned a lot from the two days. We’ve got some things to work on, but I feel like if we’ve got everyone ready to go, we’ll do well at regional and state.” Fourth-place finishers included freshman Tevin Briscoe at 113 See Welton, Page B3

Williams’ 3-point barrage lifts GCCC men past Dodge By ADAM HOLT
aholt@gctelegram.com
Chauncy Williams got to the Perryman Athletic Complex early on Saturday. To get his mind right, he said. Williams might have to start arriving early to all the Broncbusters’ home games now. The Milwaukee, Wis., native scored a game-high 29 points, including seven 3-pointers, as the Garden City Community College men’s basketball team beat rival Dodge City, 77-69. It was the Busters’ first home win during conference play, and combined with Wednesday’s win over No. 9 Seward County on Wednesday, gave Garden City back-to-back wins for the first time since winning three
straight from Dec. 2 to Jan. 4. There was no hiding the relief in winning at home for the first time since Nov. 26. “We weren’t trying to scare our fans away,” Williams said with a laugh. “It felt great.” Williams helped make sure the Busters, who led by doubledigits for much of the game, would reach the .500 mark in conference play, with a 4-4 record (16-6 overall). The sophomore was 10-of-18 from the field and 7-of-14 from 3-point range, managing to find himself open in the corner often and rarely missing. “I thought Chauncy was outstanding, GCCC coach Kris Baumann said. “In fact, their coach gave them high praise, he said, ‘Boy, I’ll be happy when Chauncy’s gone because he kills
us every year.’ And that’s what I told Chauncy, I said that shows how much he’s got respect for you, that says a lot about you. I thought he was outstanding tonight, making seven 3s was good. So I was very happy with him tonight.” The Busters led by as much as 15 in the second half and the last of Williams’ seven treys made it 66-53 with 3:12 to play. With this Garden City squad, no lead is to be taken for granted, but the Busters showed a small improvement in their late-game play — and how much further they have to go. “We practice it, we work on it. We work on late-game situations, and as you can see, we’re not very good at it, even in practice yet,” Baumann said. “And I’ve been trying to get it
through their heads. But that team that won the region wasn’t very good at this point in the year either, and they got a lot better at it in the end. We’ve got to continue to get better at it.” And while they got the win and a dominant performance from Williams, the Busters were not as crisp as they were on Wednesday, in what was their best performance of 2012. Early on, Dodge City (15-6, 3-4) was able to move the ball quickly around Garden City’s zone and hit some open shots. The defense tightened up, but the Busters didn’t quite look in control like they did against the Saints. Baumann said the team may have regressed a bit, and Williams agreed. “I would say we took one
step back,” he said. “But the only thing I can say is, we keep going hard in practice, listening to coach, making sure our minds stay clear and just keep winning games. And everything will be good. But I would say we took a step back.” The positive thing is, the Busters took a step back with a win. Garden City weathered a 22-point game from Dodge City’s Tyshaun Pickett and 18-point performance by R.J. McGhee. Geron Johnson had 22 points for the Busters, and Carl Porter had 11 points for the second straight game. Garden City gets a bye on Wednesday and will host lastplace Butler at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday.

pounds, Anthony Calderon at 120 pounds, Tyson Phillis at 138 pounds and Jon Heiman at 160 pounds. Heiman was returning from a knee injury sustained in the Buffs’ final football playoff game in early November. After reaching the quarterfinals on Friday and losing to Emporia’s Noel Torres, Heiman then won three matches on Saturday to reach the consolation final, again meeting up with Torres, falling by a slim 3-2 decision. “I’m disappointed to lose this one, but it’s been an awesome weekend to get back on the mat,” said Heiman, a fifth-place state finisher his junior year. “Considering what I’ve gone through and that I had the flu earlier in the week, I’m surprised at how good I’ve felt, and I’m satisfied that I could place.” Briscoe’s two losses in the tournament came at
the hands of Alex Garcia of Dodge City, the last one by a 2-1 decision in the third-place bout. Ulysses’ Jason Perez was fifth at 113 with a 5-1 decision over Chris Cos of Pine Creek, Colo. Calderon dropped his consolation final in another close match, a 1-0 decision to Great Bend’s Chris Burley. Scott City’s Clay Mulligan repeated as a third-place finisher, this time at 132 pounds, when he claimed a 6-4 decision over Anthony Monares of Newton. The Buffs’ Phillis dropped a 10-3 decision to Wyatt Villers of Arkansas City in his consolation final match. Hugoton’s Lawson Fiss (145 pounds) and Patrick Weaver (152) both earned third-place medals. Fiss notched his win by virtue of a 3-2 decision over Derrik Ortiz of Pine Creek, Colo. Weaver grabbed his highest finish at the Welton with a 3-2 decision over rival Razzy Morales

Lady Busters get back on track with rout of Lady Conqs By ADAM HOLT

After absorbing a lopsided loss on Wednesday at Seward County, the Garden City Community College women’s basketball team returned home Saturday and laid its own 23-point beatdown on rival Dodge City. The Lady Broncbusters got a balanced scoring attack early before Tamara Jones took over in a 71-48 win over the Lady Conquistadors at the Perryman Athletic Complex. Garden City (13-9, 53 Jayhawk Conference) opened the second half with a 13-point lead and never let it shrink below double-figures, as Jones
scored almost all of her game-high 25 points in the second half. Still, a glance over at the Busters’ bench partway through the second half would show Garden City head coach Alaura Sharp looking less than thrilled, even given her team’s lead. “I still thought our energy was a bit low,” Sharp said. “That’s been our focus since we left Seward, finding a way to keep yourself energized. I guess I’m just frustrated with that right now.” Even with the energy issues, the Busters kept a smaller Conquistadors lineup relatively cold from the floor, as Dodge City shot just 35.3 percent from the field despite hitting 6-
of-12 3-pointers. Dodge City (8-13, 0-7) had a difficult time getting the ball inside on offense, and its guards seemed hesitant to shoot from outside, even when open in the first half. Part of that may have been the Busters’ size advantage; just four players on the Conquistadors’ roster are taller than 5foot-7, while Garden City has six players in its rotation who are 5-foot-10 or taller. “We passed up a few open shots in the first half at times, which is not normal for us. I don’t have to beg us to shoot,” Dodge City coach Lucas McDonald said. “I don’t know about frustrated, but we just had some opportu-
nities where we set some good screens, we got some good looks and we didn’t take advantage of those times.” For the most part, Dodge City’s attempts to get into the lane were thwarted, which meant for the fourth-straight game, the Conquistadors would not reach 50 points. “I thought we did a nice job keeping the ball out of the lane,” Sharp said. “Early on, they were able to get some post touches and go to work on the block. Once we tightened up defensively — we were just a little soft, defensively right away — once we got that tightened up, I thought that’s when we were able to open it up a little bit, once we started
getting some nice stops.” Garden City also got some balance on offense, with Carly Schmale scoring the Busters’ first six points of the game and Breanna Gottschalk — known more for her outside shooting — taking the ball to the rim. Both finished with 10 points. “It was good to see that balanced attack from us, we have not seen that in quite a while, so I am really proud of that,” Sharp said. The Busters found themselves down 11-4 less than four minutes into the game. From that point on in the half, Garden City outscored Dodge City 32-12, capped by a 3pointer by Gottschalk as time expired.
The game was tied at 17 with just less than seven minutes to play in the half. In that last 6:49, Garden City went to the line 16 times, making 12. Dodge City’s Kalyn Williams did most of the damage for the Conquistadors, with 23 points. No other Conquistador topped double figures, although Jazmin Villa added nine points. The Busters are in third place in the division, behind Hutchinson and Seward County, which are both 7-0 in conference play. Garden City will host Butler at 5:30 p.m. Saturday at Perryman.

Ingalls girls fall in SPIAA finals; Greeley Co. sweeps Rolla teams By The Telegram At Dodge City on Saturday night, the Ingalls Lady Bulldogs lost for just the second time this season as they came up short in a 48-45 overtime decision to the Spearville Lady Royal Lancers in the championship game of the Southern Plains/Iroquois League tournament. It was a close game throughout as Spearville led just 12-11 and 24-22 in the first half, before extending it to 31-27 after three quarters. Ingalls rallied with a 13-9 fourth quarter to tie the game at 40 at the
end of regulation. Tara Whipple and Taylor Bleumer had nine points each, and Maria Galaviz and Rebecca Wyatt added eight apiece. Sarae Kistler had a game-high 17 points, including three 3pointers, while Katie Rabe added 13 for Spearville.

Kansas gambles on Weis to rebuild faltering football program build a winning program, and that five mediocre seasons at Notre Dame would not define his legacy. “Anyone who is goaldriven in anything, whether it was starting up a business that was doing bad and turning it into something good — it’s no different,” he said. “It’s what I do.” He’s wasted little time getting started. In the hours after Kansas athletic director Sheahon Zenger hired him to replace Turner Gill, Weis set about constructing a coaching staff heavy on NFL experience. He reeled in a trio of high-profile transfers and embarked on the recruiting trail with the passion of a man decades younger. The fruits of those labors will be revealed Wednesday, when high school prospects make their intentions official on national signing day. The school has followed Weis’ lead, putting together a marketing program with him as the new face of Kansas football. Advertisements in newspapers, billboards scattered across the Midwest and TV and radio spots remind fans that even in the heart of basketball season, football has become a priority for a school that’s had a mere three winning seasons in the past 16 years. “As I look back over 25 years in this business, the few things I know about football are: It begins with
hard work, tireless hard work and attention to detail,” said Zenger, who spent time as an assistant coach at several colleges before getting into athletic administration. “That’s what I found first and foremost in Coach Weis,” Zenger said, “that relentless pursuit of excellence and a passion for the game and for the kids. If you talk to people who know his teams, he’s a disciplinarian, and they love him. To me, there’s a magic in that.” Mark Mangino took over a moribund program and

LAWRENCE (AP) — Charlie Weis could have spent the rest of his career basking in the Florida sun, then ambled off into retirement with a bunch of Super Bowl rings and a reputation burnished over two decades as one of football’s great offensive minds. Instead, he ambled to a lectern on a crisp December day, using a cane to help him along as he awaited hip replacement surgery. He smiled and grimaced, sometimes simultaneously. “I am not the greatest coach in the world,” he said. “I’ve made a lot of mistakes, but I have learned how to show humility and I have never lost my passion and drive to win.” With that, Weis set about the monumental rebuilding task at Kansas. There’s no aura of Notre Dame’s golden dome in Lawrence. Touchdown Jesus doesn’t stand with arms outstretched over Memorial Stadium, one of the smallest venues in the Big 12. Fans don’t pack Allen Fieldhouse before home football games like they do the Joyce Center on campus in South Bend, where Weis was once feted as a native son and then run out of town with equal zeal. But it’s on the hilly campus of Kansas, one of college football’s wayward outposts, where Weis has chosen to make one more stand. He wants to prove he can
returned it to respectability, going to a pair of bowl games in his first four seasons. Then a breakthrough in 2007, when Kansas went 12-1 and won the Orange Bowl, the lone loss coming against Missouri in its regular-season finale. The program regressed the following year, and went 5-7 in what turned out to be Mangino’s final season. After an investigation was launched into allegations that he physically and verbally abused players, Mangino agreed to a $3 million buyout.
Gill was brought on and given a five-year, $10 million deal, all of it guaranteed. But when he managed just five wins over two seasons, Zenger decided it was a better investment to fire Gill and pay his remaining salary than watch ticket sales and fan interest continue to wane. Several high-profile candidates rose to the forefront when Zenger sets out on his coaching search, but one by one they fell to the wayside. Finally, after clutching his cards closely to his vest, Zenger let it slip that Weis
was his guy. The 55-year-old Weis will receive $2.5 million annually over the course of his five-year deal, with incentives that could push the total to over $3 million. “I don’t think it’s realistic to think we can compete on a regular basis for a national championship or go to a BCS bowl, but I’d like to think we can finish in the upper 50 percent of the league,” said Dana Anderson, a real estate executive and perhaps the school’s biggest donor.

Cyclones stun No. 5 Jayhawks, 72-64 AMES, Iowa (AP) — Royce White has been so bad from the free throw line lately that his struggles have literally turned into nightmares. A few hours after waking up from a dream in which he couldn’t hit anything from the line, White sank the two biggest freebies of his career to give Iowa State a landmark win for coach Fred Hoiberg. White had 18 points and nine rebounds as the Cyclones upset fifth-ranked Kansas 72-64 on Saturday, snapping the Jayhawks’ winning streak at 10 games. White, the versatile big man who entered shooting an abysmal 39 percent from the line in Big 12 games, hit a pair that rattled in to put Iowa State up 64-59 with 1:47 left. Kansas then threw the ball away and Chris Babb drained a backbreaking 3 to give the Cyclones an eightpoint lead with 55.6 seconds left. “I woke up this morning dreaming about missing free throws. So I was in the gym this morning and

Big 12 player of the year favorite Thomas Robinson had 13 points, but he committed five turnovers and the Jayhawks were out-
rebounded 36-23. “I thought we got stops, but I didn’t think we cleaned up. How many times did they miss a shot and the ball go off of us and us not secure or whatever?” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “Obviously, we didn’t do a good last 3 minutes defensively at all.” Melvin Ejim had 15 points and Scott Christopherson added 14 for the Cyclones (15-6, 5-3), who had lost 13 straight to Kansas since their last victory in 2005.
Becker’s Bridge
Iowa State students celebrated the program’s biggest win in years — and first over Kansas at home since 2004 — by storming the floor. “It was a great win for our program. But like I told our guys, you know, you’ve got to expect to win your home games,” Hoiberg said. “I told the guys to enjoy it and get refocused.” This was Kansas’ toughest true road test of the year so far — and it ended with the Jayhawks’ first true road loss of the season. But Kansas caught the Cyclones napping to start the second half and took its biggest lead to that point, 45-39, thanks to an 11-0 run. Big man Anthony Booker brought Iowa State back, sinking a rare 3-pointer to put the Cyclones ahead 50-49 with 12:13 left. Neither team could get much going over the next 6 minutes, but Tyrus McGee’s three-point play gave Iowa State a 56-53 lead with just over 6 minutes left. Robinson then blew an open dunk and White hit two layups — one a reverse he spun off the glass — to make it 60-55.
Wildcats stub toe at home vs. Sooners Special to The Telegram
MANHATTAN — What disappointed Frank Martin most was not losing to Oklahoma for the second time. It was the way his Kansas State Wildcats lost. The Sooners harassed No. 22-ranked K-State defensively and the Wildcats wilted, going 3 of 17 from 3point range and turning the ball over 20 times Saturday night as OU escaped sold-out Bramlage Coliseum with a 63-60 victory. “When you’ve only got one guy that makes perimeter shots, it’s hard to win against a good team,” said Martin, whose Wildcats still had a last shot at forcing overtime, only to see Rodney McGruder’s last-second 3pointer rim out. “They dug up and got after us – give them credit – and made it a real physical game. “Obviously we didn’t respond and we turned it over 20 times.” The victory, in K-State alum Lon Kruger’s first visit to Bramlage as an opposing coach, was Oklahoma’s second against the Wildcats in two weeks and completed a sweep of the season series. The Sooners improved to 13-
7 with a 3-5 Big 12 record while K-State fell to 15-5 and 4-4. “It sucks to lose and it sucks to lose twice,” said McGruder, one of the few offensive bright spots for KState after finishing with 19 points. “It’s not a good feeling. “It’s not a good feeling to lose at all, but to lose to a team that came to your house and celebrated is not a pleasant sight to see.” While McGruder kept KState in the game, scoring 13 of his points in the second half, the Wildcats had no answer for Oklahoma guard Steven Pledger at the other end. Pledger, who finished with 30 points, knocked down back-to-back 3-pointers to give the Sooners the lead for good, 52-51, with 5:23 left and stretched it to four at the 4:37 mark. “He was just catching the ball wherever he wanted to and getting open looks,” McGruder said. “You can’t let a shooter do that.” Pledger, who also hit two big free throws down the stretch – the Sooners were 6 of 6 from the line in the last 1:07 – played the last 6 minutes, 48 seconds with four fouls. He picked up two quick ones to start the sec-
ond half, then was whistled for his fourth at the 10:55 mark and returning with OU trailing by three. “We went in at halftime and I only had one fouls, so I tried to pick it up defensively, and then it cost me and my team,” Pledger said. “(After the return) it was just a matter of getting to the right spots and helping my team out.” K-State trailed just 59-58 when Will Spradling scored on a hard drive to the basket with 45.4 seconds left, then got a defensive stop. But after Jordan Henriquez grabbed the defensive rebound, OU point guard Sam Grooms stepped in to strip the ball. Romero Osby hit two free throws with 9.3 seconds left and the Sooners fouled Henriquez on purpose at 5.2 seconds. Henriquez made both foul shots and K-State immediately fouled, sending Grooms to the line. Grooms made both shots and Kruger said the Sooners were trying to foul again, preventing the 3-point attempt, but K-State was able to get it to McGruder on the right wing. “I had a clean look,” McGruder said. “It just came up short.”
The Wildcats did not have a timeout left to diagram the play, but Martin had no complaints about the execution. “We got the shot we asked to get,” he said. “That is the shot we wanted. “I’d rather Will Spradling have gotten open higher up on the floor, but I give them credit. “They guarded; the made him catch it further away.” Oklahoma scored the last five points of the first half to lead 34-28, but K-State used an eight-point run to tie it at 40 on McGruder’s long jumper with 13:03 left. After OU stopped the bleeding with a Sam Grooms tip-in, McGruder scored again and Will Spradling hit two free throws to put the Wildcats in front. They led 48-45 on two McGruder free throws when Pledger and Andrew Fitzgerald, who also had four fouls, returned for OU. In addition to Pledger, Oklahoma got 11 points and six rebounds from Cameron Clark. Angel Rodriguez fouled out with 10 points for K-State, while Jamar Samuels had nine points and eight rebounds as the Wildcats enjoyed a 33-29 advantage on the boards.

MONDAY January 30, 2012 HAPPY BIRTHDAY The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Curb a need to be overly possessive and touchy. You’ll see situations differently from day to day. You gain constant new insights. Don’t fight the inevitable process. Accept a helpful hand from a respected friend. Tonight: Treat yourself. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You could be quite tired with everything that is happening around you. Step out and start manifesting your vision of how life needs to flow. Though you are strong, you are sensitive, too. Approach someone who is fearful of change. Tonight: Whatever makes you happy. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Your smiling style takes you to a new level of understanding. However, you might not want to express everything that you are feeling. You are processing as usual, but the end results could be very different from what you anticipated. Tonight: Shhhhh ... you don’t need to tell. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Others can be challenging, but they don’t realize that you are used to their act. You don’t need to react, especially if you want to end this constant grandstanding. Be sensitive to a friend who needs to get feedback. Ultimately, you might change your opinion on this situation. Tonight: Go with the flow. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Others always wish they had what you have. What they don’t realize is that you really work on the qualities they admire. If you can, help a key person understand it is simply a matter of addressing what he or she wants. Then this person might feel more empowered. Tonight: Wherever you are, you are noticed. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Push yourself to detach, even if you are feeling overly emotional. You simply need to do something differently. You will gain a unique perspective and find a more applicable solution. Be open to the possibilities swirling around you. Tonight: Allow your mind to drift.
DAY IN THE STARS

Jacquelline Bigar King Features
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You could be challenging and working very hard to make a difference. Your sense of direction emerges and could cause a problem, as it could be different from a partner’s. You made an assumption and it backfired. Touch base with a family member. Tonight: Let another person take the lead. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Defer to others, making sure you see life through renewed eyes. How you handle a personal matter could make a difference. You need to listen more to those around you and respect their opinions. Remember, they witness what you witness, too. Tonight: A discussion could floor you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Give 100 percent in your life, and you will feel good no matter what happens. That kind of security is important. Confusion surrounds what you hear or what you say. The distortion in how the words were intended becomes obvious. Know how much effort you are willing to put into a project. Tonight: Make it easy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Others note your smile, energy and extra effort (actually, you might not even be aware of your demeanor). Creativity, animal magnetism and a lightness of heart braid well together. Let go of demanding such strict behavior from yourself. Tonight: Sometimes silliness is appropriate. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH If you can work from home, do. Your mind is on overtime working through a security-related issue. Clear out confusion with a child or loved one. No one needs to feel badly. Tonight: Play it like a Monday night. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Your unusual communication skills emerge, allowing many people to pull in closer or ask questions they have been putting on the back burner. You laugh, and others open up. Stay more in touch with a recently determined goal. Tonight: Enjoying the moment.

Australian Open
Djokovic defends title; Azarenka claims first Slam crown Rout of Sharapova brings No. 1 ranking to champ.
Associated Press
Novak Djokovic of Serbia celebrates after defeating Rafael Nadal of Spain during the men’s singles final at the Australian Open in Melbourne, Australia, early today.
Djokovic downs Nadal in marathon final M E L B O U R N E , Australia (AP) — Novak Djokovic wore down Rafael Nadal in the longest Grand Slam singles final in the history of professional tennis, winning 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 67 (5), 7-5 after 5 hours, 53 minutes to claim his third Australian Open title. Djokovic wrapped it up at 1:37 a.m. local time on Monday, becoming the fifth man since the Open Era began in 1968 to win three straight Grand Slam finals. The 24-year-old Djokovic tore off his shirt in celebration after the riveting final. He went to his support camp and repeatedly thumped the side of the arena in front of them in delight and relief. Nadal leaned on the net, while Djokovic sat on his haunches before the trophy presentation. Eventually, an official brought them chairs and a bottle of water each. “We made history tonight and unfortunately there couldn’t be two winners,” Djokovic said. Djokovic maintained his mastery of Nadal, who has lost seven straight finals against the Serb since March last year. The Spaniard became the first man in the Open Era to lose three straight major finals. He lost in four sets to Djokovic at last year’s Wimbledon and U.S. Open. Having reduced Roger Federer to tears when he won the title over five sets in 2009, Nadal maintained his composure during the on-court speeches — and even managed a joke. “Good morning, everybody,” Nadal said, earning laughs and loud applause from the crowd. “Congratulations to Novak and his team. They deserve it. They are doing something fantastic, so congratulations.” After coming back from 5-3 down to win the fourthset tiebreaker, Nadal was up a break at 4-2 in the fifth set against Djokovic, who
seemed to be tiring. But the No. 1-ranked Djokovic, who needed almost five hours to win his semifinal against Andy Murray, somehow responded. He broke for a 6-5 lead and saved a break point before finally claiming the win. The previous longest major singles final was Mats Wilander’s win over Ivan Lendl at the U.S. Open in 1988, which lasted 4 hours, 54 minutes. The longest Australian Open final also involved Wilander in 1988, when the Swede beat Pat Cash. Sunday’s match was also the longest in the tournament’s history. A tense, error-strewn opening set offered no indication of the high drama to follow. In hot, humid conditions, both players struggled for consistency. After an exchange of breaks, Nadal took it after 80 minutes — two minutes short of the entire women’s final the previous day. Nadal had only lost one match of his previous 134 in Grand Slams after winning the first set, but he found his serve coming under increasing pressure as the match wore on. As if to demonstrate the pervading tension of the occasion, Djokovic double-faulted at break point down while serving for the second set at 5-3 before Nadal returned the favor by double-faulting in the next game to give the Serb the second set. By the time Djokovic took a 3-1 lead in the third set, Nadal’s shoulders were visibly slumping and he was talking to himself more often, unable to stop his opponent from peppering the baseline with his returns to take control of the points. At 5-2, his uncle and coach Toni Nadal moved to the front row of the players’ box to try to get some positive messages to his nephew.
M E L B O U R N E , Australia (AP) — Victoria Azarenka started celebrating, then suddenly did a double-take to ask her coach, “What happened?” The answer: She had just produced one of the most lopsided Australian Open final victories to capture a Grand Slam title and the No. 1 ranking for the first time. Azarenka routed threetime Grand Slam winner Maria Sharapova 6-3, 6-0 in 1 hour, 22 minutes on Saturday night, winning 12 of the last 13 games after dropping her first service game and falling behind 20. “It’s a dream come true,” she said. “I have been dreaming and working so hard to win the Grand Slam, and being No. 1 is pretty good bonus. Just the perfect ending and the perfect position to be in.” Azarenka had won 11 straight matches, including a run to the Sydney International title, and reached her first Grand Slam final. Her previous best performance at a major was a semifinal loss to Petra Kvitova at Wimbledon last year. Sharapova had all the experience, being in her sixth major final and having won three — dating to her 2004 Wimbledon title. But it didn’t unnerve the 22-year-old Azarenka, the first woman from Belarus to win a singles major. She’s also the seventh different woman to win a Grand Slam since Francesca Schiavone won the 2010 French Open, and the fifth different winner in as many majors.
Victoria Azarenka of Belarus celebrates after defeating Maria Sharapova of Russia during the women’s singles final at the Australian Open in Melbourne, Australia, on Saturday. Azarenka became only the third woman to earn the No. 1 spot after winning her first major title. She moved from No. 3 to No. 1 in the rankings, helped by Caroline Wozniacki’s loss in the quarterfinals. The third-seeded Azarenka set up championship point with a stunning forehand, her 14th clean winner, and sealed it when Sharapova netted a backhand. She dropped to her knees at the baseline with her hands over her face. She got up, held her hands up and jogged over to her coach, Sam Sumyk, in the stands to celebrate. “The best feeling, for sure,” Azarenka said. “I don’t know about the game. I don’t know what I was doing out there. It’s just pure joy what happened. I
can’t believe it’s over.” And she paid special credit to her grandmother, “the person who inspires me the most in my life.” Azarenka has been a distinctive presence at Melbourne Park as much for her shrieks and hoots with each shot and seemingly boundless energy as for her white shorts, blue singlet and lime green head and wrist bands. Against Sharapova, she maintained the frenetic movement that has been the hallmark of her performance in Australia, her 25th consecutive major. She won the Sydney International title last weekend and is on a 12match winning streak — the first player since 2004 to win a WTA tour event the week before winning a major.
“She did everything better than I did today. I had a good first couple of games, and that was about it,” Sharapova said. “Then she was the one that was taking the first ball and hitting it deep and aggressive. I was always the one running around like a rabbit, you know, trying to play catch-up all the time.” Sharapova also won only three games in a 2007 final loss to Serena Williams, who also conceded only three games in the 2009 final against Dinara Safina. When Sharapova won the first two games, there was no indication of how lopsided the match would be. Azarenka took control after holding for the first time, breaking Sharapova at love and then holding again on a three-game roll.
Brady, Belichick in good mood as Pats arrive INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Even the usually dour Bill Belichick was joking around as the New England Patriots arrived in Indianapolis for Super Bowl week. At his opening news conference Sunday night, Belichick was asked if he expected some Hoosier hospitality. “I never had too much hospitality here,” he said, noting that the Patriots aren’t exactly popular in Colts country, “until I went for it on fourth-and-2.” His gamble on that play at the New England 28 with 2:08 to go failed and led to the Colts’ winning field goal in a 2009 regular-season game. “Fans greeted us lots more and were awfully friendly” after that, he added. All-Pro receiver Wes Welker wasn’t familiar with the term when asked the same question. “What is Hoosier hospitality? What does that consist of ?” Welker asked to laughs before getting a full explanation from a local television reporter. “I think it will be a little strange practicing at the Colts’ facility. I don’t know how many people like that, but we’ll be calm and polite and not try to rub it in, so I hope everyone is appreciative of it.” Belichick, dressed in a suit — no hoodie for the coach this time — also

Gronkowski has been wearing a walking boot since being injured in the AFC title game. “You’ve got to prepare for every one of these situations that come up,” quarterback Tom Brady said of the possibility Gronkowski will be limited or sidelined. “You always have to have some contingency plans.” Brady knows the Giants will bring lots of heat with their pass rush, but for now he was more comforted by not having to face a local rival who frequently has put Brady on his back. “I see Dwight Freeney’s picture up there (on the stadium),” Brady said. The Patriots drew about 25,000 fans to Gillette Stadium earlier Sunday for what Brady termed “a pep rally.” Team owner Robert Kraft, who has had an emotional year — his wife passed away last July and he was instrumental in resolving the NFL’s lockout of the players — was thrilled by the turnout. “We had 25,000 people
come to our stadium today to send the team off,” Kraft said. “At the stadium today it was so special, the time we are in now, to have 25,000 of our fans cheer our team is a very emotional experience.” This is Kraft’s sixth Super Bowl as owner, and he vividly recalled the days
when the team was lucky to draw 25,000 for a game. “I sat with those crowds. I sat in the stands for 34 years and we had one home playoff game, in 1978, which we lost to Houston,” Kraft said. “And last Sunday, we were privileged to host our 15th playoff game.”
