While voters are deciding the future of the country through Election Day, another voting process close to home could have a big impact on one local school. Buffalo Jones Elementary School is in the running for a $45,000 Healthy School Makeover grant. This vote is open to everyone who has access to a computer or smart phone and will be open until Nov. 14. “We have a lot of competition,” third-grade teacher Kerri Steelman said, adding that more than 300 other schools are competing for the prize. To participate, Steelman put together a video and submitted it to the 2012 Healthy School Makeover Contest, in which the $45,000 prize will translate into fitness programming and equipment for the school. Steelman said that the school’s best shot at winning is getting people to vote every day until Nov. 14. “People can vote once a day — and the computers won’t let you vote more than once a day — so if people want to help, all they need to do is go to the website, www.healthyschoolmakeover.com, and then search for the video called, ‘Buffalo Jones wants a Healthy School Makeover,’ by Kerri Steelman,” she said. Steelman put the video together after hearing about the nationwide contest. “I spent a couple of weeks collecting video footage of people in the community, school employees and different people who have worked with the students and families in the Buffalo Jones community and talked to them about what $45,000 worth of fitness equipment could do for our students, and after that, Casey put together the video and did all the editing and we got it in,” Steelman said, referring to Casey Wise, head of USD 457’s instruc-

WEST CHESTER, Ohio (AP) — Down to a fierce finish, President Barack Obama accused Mitt Romney of scaring voters with lies on Friday, while the Republican challenger warned grimly of political paralysis and another recession if Obama reclaims the White House. Heading into the final weekend, the race’s last big report on the economy showed hiring picking up but millions still out of work. “Four more days!” Romney supporters bellowed at a rally in Wisconsin. “Four more years!” Obama backers shouted as the president campaigned in Ohio. With Ohio at the center of it all, the candidates sharpened their closing lines, both clutch-

Marisela Caraveo has been in her share of rocky relationships. She admits she’s made the mistake of getting involved with men who turned out to be verbally abusive. She doesn’t want it to happen again. Through the Catholic Social Services Marriage for Keeps program, the Garden City single mother says she is learning communication, problem-solving and self-awareness skills that she hopes will better prepare her to enter into and maintain a healthier, more satisfying relationship in the future.

“Now, I’m more aware of who I am and what I want in a relationship,” Caraveo said. Caraveo is one of 77 individuals who this past year have been involved in the CSS Marriage for Keeps Within My Reach program, which focuses on providing individuals who are single or in a relationship “the necessary tools to lead more satisfying relationships,” according to an overview of the Marriage for Keeps program. Another 91 people this year have taken part locally in Marriage for Keeps’ original marriage enrichment program, Within Our Reach, which is open to engaged and married couples.

The program provides 10 weeks of marriage education classes covering topics such as communication, problem solving, stress management and commitment, according to the CSS website. Both the Within Our Reach and Within My Reach classes meet weekly. In its most recent attempt to expand the reach of Marriage for Keeps, CSS also is offering the relationship enrichment program to prisoners in the Finney County Jail. CSS currently is in its second year of receiving funds through a three-year, $150,000 federal grant that pays for the agency to provide free relationship education workshops and services.

Solid job growth in last reading before election WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States added a solid 171,000 jobs in October, and more than a half-million Americans joined the work force, the latest signs that the uneven economic recovery is gaining strength once again. In addition, more jobs were added in August and September than believed. But the unemployment rate inched up to 7.9 percent because not all those joining the work force found work, the government said Friday. The report was the final snapshot of the economy before the presidential election. “The economy is in a lot better shape than most people believe,� said Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors. “That sets us up for stronger growth next year no matter
who is elected on Tuesday.� A government survey of households found that 578,000 Americans joined the work force in October, the Labor Department said. Of those, 470,000 found work. The difference is why the unemployment rate rose from 7.8 percent in September. Home prices are finally rising, and retailers and car companies this week reported stronger sales. Consumer confidence in October reached its highest point in almost five years, and stocks are within reach of record highs. Big businesses are still cautious, partly because of slowing global demand for their goods. But the report found that they continued to add jobs in greater numbers than they did last spring. A second government survey, of large companies

and government agencies, yielded the 171,000 number. Companies added 184,000 jobs, the most since February, and federal, state and local governments cut 13,000. The report was compiled before Superstorm Sandy struck the East Coast earlier this week and devastated many businesses. Some economists think the rebuilding in the Northeast will add to construction jobs in the months ahead. The government also revised its data to show that 84,000 more jobs were added in August and September than previously estimated. August’s job gain was revised to 192,000 from

142,000, and September’s to 148,000 from 114,000. For the third time since the recovery from the Great Recession began in June 2009, the economy appears to be picking up momentum. Since July, the economy has created an average of 173,000 jobs a month. That is up from an average of 67,000 a month from April through June. The pickup in hiring suggests that businesses aren’t as worried as many analysts thought about the package of tax increases and spending cuts known as the “fiscal cliff� that will take effect unless Congress acts by Jan. 1.

City to consider presentation on new apartments By SCOTT AUST
saust@gctelegram.com
The Garden City Commission will meet at 1 p.m. Tuesday at the City Administrative Center, 301 N. Eighth St. Under old business, the commission will hear a presentation from CSS Properties, LLC, concerning its proposal to create an apartment complex out of the former American Legion building at 125 Pine St. In early October, Candace Gamino told the commission she wants to convert the building into at least four three-bedroom, two bath apartments, to be
financed through a loan and private savings. Renovation could take about six months after site plan approval, according to an Oct. 3 Telegram article. According to City Manager Matt Allen, Tuesday’s hearing will allow the commission to hear more specifics about the plan and flesh out more of the details before possibly signing off on a development agreement for the project. The commission also will consider approving the plat for Pioneer Road Estates, an 11-acre subdivision located at roughly 3002 N. Campus Drive near the new Garden City High School.
The development is planned for the east side of North Campus Drive, near Campus Drive and Pioneer Road. Additionally, the commission will consider approving a $300,000 grant agreement for the property secured through the Kansas Moderate Income Housing program, which requires part of the housing in the development to be priced for those with moderate incomes. Vogel Properties, a development company from Missouri, submitted a site plan to the city for 13 duplex units on about 4.4 acres on the south side of the site and 17 single-family homes
on 6.6 acres on the north side. Other items on Tuesday’s agenda include potential projects to include for the 2013 transportation enhancement requests from the Kansas Department of Transportation; discussion of possible projects to take advantage of walking trail grants through the Sunflower Foundation; a discussion of changing the 2013 workers’ compensation insurance coverage from self-funded to participating in the Kansas Municipal Insurance Trust; and discussion of potential irrigation system improvements at Buffalo Dunes Golf Course.
Commission to discuss county employee wage study By SCOTT AUST
saust@gctelegram.com
It’s been six years since Finney County last studied how the wages it pays employees compete with other public entities. During Monday’s Finney County Commission meeting, Darlene Lucas, human resources coordinator, will ask the commission to send out a request for proposals to perform a new wage study. “Six years is a pretty lengthy time,” Lucas said. “Many times
when it goes on that long, we become less competitive and recruitment becomes more difficult.” Lucas said a request for proposal will cost nothing. She is only asking permission from the commission to ask vendors to tell the county how much they would charge to conduct a study. The county will be under no obligation to choose a vendor or spend money on a study. “Prices are all over the board as to what one costs,” Lucas said. “This is more to let the com-
mission know I’d like to (have a wage study done). They may not be interested, but I’m hopeful.” Lucas said a study, if the commission does approve one, would compare Finney County’s wages to similar counties or city governments. “We don’t look at the private sector because it’s generally going to have higher pay than the public sector,” she said. “There’s all kinds of analysis that go into it, but submitting the RFP is just the beginning of it.” In other business, the com-
mission will hear an insurance review from Doug Keller and Diane Rose of Keller Leopold Insurance Agency and will review county health insurance rates; review the county’s legislative policy and hear a report about a revised commission meeting policy; review an amended budget for Sewer District No. 2; and hear a planning and zoning report. The county commission meets at 8:30 a.m. Monday at the Finney County Administrative Center, 311 N. Ninth St.

Pushes by Kansas chamber, Dem groups mark final days TOPEKA (AP) — Seven groups spent nearly $167,000 over seven days to boost Democratic candidates heading into the final days of campaigns for the Kansas Legislature, but the state’s largest business group also was active in helping conservative Republicans aligned with Gov. Sam Brownback. Finance reports filed through Friday showed political party groups and political action committees pouring money into mailings, phone banks and get-out-the-vote efforts. The powerful Kansas Chamber of Commerce’s PAC, backing GOP conservatives, spent more than $96,000 in the last three days of October. Top Democrats accused Brownback’s administration of trying to help its favored candidates through brochures mailed by the state Department of Revenue to 146,000 business owners about coming income tax cuts. House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat, called on Brownback to use his campaign funds to reimburse the department for the $52,000 it spent on printing and postage, but Brownback’s office ignored the jibe and said the brochures were educational. The late-spending by party groups and PACs underscored that legislative races are the hottest contests on the ballot in Kansas this year as Brownback’s allies try to ensure that his fellow conservatives gain control of
both legislative chambers. Republicans go into Tuesday’s election with majorities of 328 in the Senate and 92-33 in the House, but GOP moderates have controlled the Senate and worked with Democrats to stall Brownback initiatives. Democrats have said spending by their candidates and sympathetic groups is necessary to overcome efforts from the chamber, the tea party movement and other anti-tax, small-government groups. “We knew that they were going to flood money in there,” said Kansas Democratic Party Chairwoman Joan Wagnon. The chamber has been a strong advocate for the tax reductions Brownback signed into law earlier this year, which will exempt the owners of 191,000 partnerships, sole proprietorships and other businesses from state income taxes. A report the PAC filed this week with the Kansas secretary of state’s office showed that it spent nearly $52,000 this week on radio ads for two GOP conservatives seeking state Senate seats, Steve Fitzgerald of Leavenworth and Bob Reader of Manhattan. Fitzgerald is trying to unseat Democratic Sen. Kelly Kultala of Kansas City, while Reader is running for an open seat after ousting moderate GOP Sen. Roger Reitz of Manhattan in the primary. The chamber PAC also spent $44,000 on Wednesday on mailings for six Senate can-
didates, including Fitzgerald and Reader, and 26 House candidates. But Democrats had resources, too. One PAC, the Bluestem Fund, spent nearly $72,000 during the weeklong period ending Thursday on mailings, phone banks and other get-out-the-vote initiatives. Another PAC, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, spent $31,000 on get-out-the-vote activities, and the Kansas Democratic Party helped candidates with $28,000 worth of mailers. Three other groups tied to the Democratic Party and the PAC operated by the Kansas National Education Association, the state’s largest teachers’ union, also joined the effort to help seven state Senate candidates, 10 state House candidates and even one candidate for the Jackson County Commission. Jeff Glendening, the Kansas Chamber’s vice president for political affairs, said its PAC has been active to counter the potential clout of Democraticleaning groups. “Job creators should be able to enjoy the same freedom-ofspeech rights,” he said. Democrats have attempted to make legislative races a referendum on the income tax cuts, portraying them as reckless. Brownback and his allies believe they’ll boost the economy. Legislative researchers have estimated that the cuts will be worth $4.5 billion over the next six years but
also project collective budget shortfalls approaching $2.5 billion. Davis argued during a Statehouse news conference Friday that Brownback’s administration is trying to undercut Democrats’ arguments by mailing the blue, white and gold pieces on slick paper only days before the election. The Department of Revenue began mailing them Wednesday. The department said it wanted to give business owners as much time as possible to consult with their accountants and tax advisers before the cuts take in January. The brochure lists questions about the tax cuts and answers them. “For income tax cuts to work businesses particularly have to reinvest the money in their companies and employees. How can they do this if they don’t know about the changes?” Brownback said in an email statement. “The mailing, which answers questions about the new tax law, is a reasonable expense for the Department of Revenue. “ But the brochure also quotes a complimentary Wall Street Journal editorial and the cuts will “provide a jolt of adrenaline” to the state’s economy. “Someone could easily mistake this for a political mailing,” Davis said, holding up a brochure for a Democratic legislative candidate to emphasize his point.

County seat Fort would know to place emphasis on collaboration.
V
oters in Finney County’s Third District have a choice when it comes to filling a position on the county commission. Veteran educator Patsy Fort, a Democrat, is on the ballot against local farmer and Republican Duane Drees in the race for the commission seat to be vacated by Don Doll. Fort has had an uphill battle because she’s a Democrat, which always is a Who do you think will win the challenge Finney County commission in heavily seat? Add your comments at Republican the end of the online version of this editorial at GCTelegram. Kansas. com/opinion. But the hope is when voters make their choice Tuesday, they’ll consider more than party affiliations. They should know Fort would approach her post on the commission as a creative problem solver — a skill she’s honed over the years thanks to a notable variety of accomplishments. Fort’s background includes achievements beyond her work as a family and consumer sciences teacher. She’s also been a small business owner, state director for Odyssey of the Mind (a creative problem-solving competition for students) and an adviser for Problem Solvers, a student group that solves such school-related problems as graffiti and trash generated by other students. Considering her experience, it’s no surprise to know Fort wants to do more to recognize and build on existing strengths in the county as a way to boost community pride. Fort also knows the benefit of individuals and groups working together. One big issue before the county commission — sufficient funding for economic development — would be a situation in which collaboration would be key to ensuring the best outcome, she said. Fort did acknowledge the potential benefit of allocating a portion of significant funding brought in via a bed tax in the county — and now used to bring visitors to town — for economic development incentives, She also rightly cited the need for any agency given those sales tax receipts to spell out specifics on how they’re spent, and to not let those public dollars simply accumulate in a fund. On that issue and others, Fort would push for collaboration and creative problem solving by a county commission that would benefit from as much. Voters in Finney County’s Third District should embrace such an approach, and give Fort the nod on Tuesday.

am retiring from my 20year career as Finney County Attorney. To the people of Finney County, I thank you for the trust you have placed in me. This Tuesday the voters will be picking my successor, a very important decision. Before deciding, consider a few points. Brian Sherwood has 22 years of experience in the Finney County Attorney’s Office with vast jury trial experience, including many of the most serious crimes. Mr. Sherwood knows the criminal elements of Finney County, those who commonly commit the crimes. He knows the street gangs of Finney County and the persons who are members of those street gangs and the crimes they commit. He knows and regularly works closely with the many law enforcement agencies here in Finney County, across the state of Kansas and the federal government agencies. He is a highly experienced prosecutor. Susan Richmeier alludes to having experience but, when pressed, will admit that she has no jury trial experience. Though she gives a myriad of reasons why she has never tried a jury trial, the fact is she lacks the experience. In the criminal justice field, Susan has limited herself to handling only minor misdemeanor crimes and juvenile offenses and has not accepted felony appointments. However, with Susan’s present level of experience, if she were appointed to defend a person charged with a felony offense, she could only defend a person charged with the least serious felony crimes. The reason is because she has no jury trial experience. The State Board of Indigent Defense Services, the agency that pays attorneys who accept court appointments to represent felony defendants, knows the importance of experience. The State of Kansas will not allow inexperienced attorneys to represent persons charged with more serious felony offenses without first obtaining the necessary jury trial experience. Do you want your County Attorney to be a person who is not even qualified to represent many of the criminals she will be prosecuting? Do you want your safety left to the least experienced lawyer in the courtroom? I hope not. I am prepared to turn over reins of this office to whomever the electors decide and I will do everything I can do to make as smooth a transition as is possible. However, I hope to remain in Finney County for as long as God allows me. I have no vested interest in my successor, but I do have a vested interest in maintaining the continuing public safety of our Finney County communities. Finney County is being offered a choice of candidates to take over as the new County Attorney. When offered a choice, it is wise to vote for experience over inexperience. Brian Sherwood has served the people of Finney County well over the past 22 years. I encourage you to vote for Brian Sherwood as your County Attorney. You will not see his name on the ballot. Vote wisely and write in Brian Sherwood for County Attorney. JOHN P. WHEELER JR., Garden City
Confident vote for Richmeier
F
inney County residents, I am so incredibly thankful for our country and for the freedom we have to elect those who will be in leadership and authority over us. I take the privilege of voting very seriously. On our local level in the race for county attorney, I am confident in my decision to support Susan Richmeier to serve our county in that capacity. She is a skilled attorney with great insight and judgment. I highly value and appreciate her personal and professional integrity, her range of life experiences and maturity, and her strong work ethic. Please support her as your county attorney when
you vote on Nov. 6. Thank you. CALLIE REMSCHNER, Garden City

Reasons not to vote for Romney
unique experience
T
o all voters of Finney County: On Tuesday, our ballots will contain an opportunity to extend a 1/4 cent sales tax earmarked for repair and maintenance of our buildings and roads. While any tax is of concern, this sales tax helps to keep our local property taxes in check. We, as the retail and business hub of our region, can benefit from sales to those who come from other areas to shop, eat and do business. As our retail opportunities expand, and they are obviously expanding, the draw from the entire western region of our state, eastern Colorado and the panhandle of Oklahoma, will also increase. This means an increase in sales tax revenue that will help us maintain our infrastructure at a lower cost to Finney County residents. Please join me in supporting this sales tax. RICHARD TAYLOR, Garden City Taylor serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Garden City Area Chamber of Commerce.
he Mormon Church believes Satan and Jesus are brothers. They also believe that God lives on a planet called Kolub? The Mormon Church “rebaptises” people of different religions, after they have died. I’m still trying to figure that out. Mitt Romney has constantly lied, flip-flopped, changed his beliefs on everything. He reminds me of a snowflake, in a blizzard, with shifting winds. He’s here (for two seconds), then he’s there, for one minute, and then he changes his mind again. The reason the USA is (where) we are today is because Bush and Cheney believed in no rules, no regulations, no accountability. Funny how the Republicans get total Alzheimer’s about Bush and Cheney, isn’t it? My mom was the president of the KFRW during the late 1960s and early 1970s. That’s the Kansas Federation of Republican Women. I asked her, in 2007, what she thought of the new Republican Party. She said she was “sickened and disgusted.” I totally agree. I find it funny how Tim Huelskamp “claims” that he “voted against” that voucher system for Medicare that Paul Ryan supports. The Republican Party is really conservative. They can’t help but rob the poor, so the billionaires get another free corporate welfare check. (After all, there are all those stories on Fake-Fox, about how bad it is to be a billionaire.) Yes, I sure feel sorry for the billionaires, it’s so terrible, they actually want them (billionaires) to pay a fair share? Rupert Murdoch, who owns Fox, the Wall Street Journal and hundreds of other companies, is the world’s biggest liar. The phone-hacking scandal in England last year should sicken and disgust every American citizen. His News of the World newspaper (illegally) listened to a little girl who had been murdered, phone calls. Family values? They also listened to British soldiers’ phone calls of troops who had died. Also listened to were terrorist subway bombing victims’ phones. I listened to Bill O’Reilly in 2006. Bill O’Reilly said, “During World War II, at Malmedy, American troops massacred German soldiers.” So, what’s wrong with that? Oh, nothing (except) it was 87 American soldiers, shot down while trying to surrender. (That’s why Bill O’Reilly is also known as Bill O’Lielly.) The same can be said about all of Fox-not-News reporting. The lies remind me of a more stupid version of the National Enquirer. Glenn Beck is another example of the lying scammers who talk total trash, every day. His Gold Line ads are a total rip-off and Gold Line has been sued by the California Attorney General for this scam. I want to thank Mr. Dailey and all the others who, like me, believe that all this Republican nonsense, just nonsense, line needs to stop. Kris Kobach should be worrying about all the (Republican) voter fraud, in Florida, North Carolina and Virginia. CASEY KUHLMANN, Garden City

his dedication
e endorse Duane Drees for County Commissioner in the upcoming election. We have known Duane for the last 30-plus years and believe him to be a quality candidate. He will dedicate the time necessary to study the issues and make wellinformed decisions. Duane is a lifelong resident of Finney County and has demonstrated his experience in working on boards in a leadership role. He is a past member and chairman of the local coop board and he currently serves as a member of the Finney County Planning Commission. Please consider voting
nfortunately it appears that Leonard Hitz is as easily confused as he is humored. His letter of Oct. 13 reveals some basic knowledge of baseball and golf, however, his understanding of our electoral process seems woefully inadequate. The successful candidate in a primary election wins only his or her party’s nomination — period. That candidate must then be duly elected in the general election, whether opposed or unopposed. To suggest that “the people” have spoken, as Mr. Hitz opined, is just factually incorrect. Of the 15,914 voters eligible to vote in the Aug. 7 primary, only 3,752 ballots were cast. This represents a mere 23.58 per-
F
or many reasons, Susan Richmeier stands alone in the race for Finney County Attorney. She is the only candidate on the ballot and earned that spot deservedly by working hard and earning the respect of the voter to be placed on the ballot as the Republican candidate. There is not another choice. But, if you think there is another choice, I encourage you to look at not only the résumés of the candidates, but the integrity, character, education and involvement of the candidates. Susan and her family represent generations of Finney County residents who have toiled the land and invested in this community almost from its inception. Susan and her husband have chosen to continue investing in Finney County by remaining here, raising a family here and running their businesses here. Not only do they invest personally within their family, but they invest in the future of Finney County through volunteerism, donations and through their church. Susan knows Finney County. As a lifetime resident of Finney County, I urge the voters to take a look at the big picture. With Susan you get a wealth of experience and knowledge of not only the law, but of our community, education, children and families. She has what it takes to protect us, prosecute for us and to help ensure the county continues to remain a safe place to live. She is the person we want representing us, not only in this community, but across the state and with other prosecutors in other counties. Susan will be a representative of our community we can be proud to say we know and support. Susan Richmeier is the choice for Finney County Attorney. NEOLA HUBER, Garden City

cent of all eligible registered voters. Furthermore, all three candidates who filed for the Finney County Attorney’s office filed as Republicans. Since the Republican Party holds a closed primary in Finney County, only registered Republicans and those nonaffiliated independent voters who choose a Republican ballot could actually vote for any of the three candidates. Mr. Sherwood’s campaign is clearly not a case of a poor loser whining or “sour grapes.” Quite to the contrary as Mr. Sherwood is a dedicated public servant who has invested his entire professional career in that service to the people of Finney County — all the people. Whether choosing to writein vote for Mr. Sherwood or not, he nevertheless deserves our respect and appreciation for his effort. As for this voter, I will cast my write-in vote for Brian Sherwood for our next Finney County Attorney on Nov. 6. JOY ANSTAETT, Garden City
Dismiss Romney, support Fort
T
his is in regard to the editorial by Ronald Dailey printed on Oct. 31. Ron, you are absolutely correct about the middle class voting for Romney and Ryan. They will be the first to complain about their insurance, taxes and etc., if Romney gets elected. All their promises are false, can’t believe anything they say. One day it’s one way, next day it’s different. While I’m on the voting subject, you people that are fortunate to live in Patsy Fort’s district, as she is running for county commissioner. She is a very intelligent person and I’ll bet come time to decide July 4 as to how to handle the fireworks, she’ll have the right answer, also many other issues. Since the present county commissioners and the city commissioners can’t decide what to do and never listen to Allen Shelton. Thank you, go vote. ELEANOR KREUTZER, Garden City
Give Richmeier support at polls
T
he Kansas Bureau of Investigation’s most recent crime statistics, which are available online, show that Finney County and Ford County have quite comparable crime rates (3.6 violent crimes per 1,000 of population in Finney County and 3.7 violent crimes per 1,000 of population in Ford County). In the race for Ford County Attorney this year, the incumbent proudly pointed to his stewardship of taxpayer money, noting that his office operated on less than half the budget of the Finney County Attorney’s office. Susan Richmeier will be able to bring a new perspective to the operation of the Finney County Attorney’s Office. Susan’s business background, her willingness to be accountable to the taxpayers and her dedication to a team approach are why I encourage Finney County voters to elect Susan Richmeier as our next County Attorney. MARC KLIEWER, Garden City

F
inney County Attorney candidate Susan Richmeier is worthy of our votes on election day. In addition to her legal experience and personal strengths, she will bring creative insight on budgeting challenges. Moreover, she will emphasize transparency to the public on non-confidential matters. Clearly, Richmeier is poised to effectively lead the County Attorney’s office. TRISH KELLER, Garden City

said. The winner of the $45,000 prize will be announced on Dec. 10. The voting opened on Nov. 1, and Steelman said that she already has had positive feedback after sending an email to USD 457 staff asking for both their and their students’ votes. “We’ve had students coming in after school to vote in our computer lab and kids are excited so they’re getting their family members involved and I’ve gotten responses from teachers at the middle schools, intermediate centers and high school saying they’re going to have their classes vote for us every day. It’s an amazing feeling to have such amazing support from the community,” Steelman said. “I’m hoping we have enough people vote for us, it’s going to
make a really strong statement to the committee. If we blow everyone out of the water with votes, they’re going to know that we have a community that’s dedicated to using the resources and materials that we get.” Steelman also is a part of the Wellness Champion Group at Buffalo Jones, along with fellow thirdgrade teachers Diane Smith and Dawn Graham. “We plan fitness activities for the staff and we have our fitness club for students and so our part of the video is basically saying that we’re dedicated to making a difference, whether we win the grant or not. We’re going to try to make that change for our staff and students,” she said. “Unfortunately, we don’t have a budget, so anything we want to buy for the club or the program has to come out of our pocket.”

Campaign: Romney, Obama sharpen their closing lines Continued from Page A1
ing to the mainstream middle while lashing out at one another. Virtually all of the nine homestretch battleground states were getting personal attention from the contenders or top members of their teams, and Romney was pressing hard to add Pennsylvania to the last-minute mix. Romney drew the largest crowd of his years-long quest for the presidency at an Ohio rally attended by 18,000 people on a cold Friday night. “We’re almost home,” a confident Romney, surrounded by family and more than a dozen Republican officials, told a sea of supporters. “One final push will get us there.” Urgency could be felt all across the campaign, from the big and boisterous crowds to the running
count that roughly 24 million people already have voted. Outside the White House, workers were setting the foundation for the inaugural viewing stand for Jan. 20. Lawyers from both camps girded for a fight should the election end up too close to call. Obama, for the first time, personally assailed Romney over ads suggesting that automakers General Motors and Chrysler are adding jobs in China at the expense of auto-industry dependent Ohio. Both companies have called the ads untrue. The matter is sensitive in Ohio, perhaps the linchpin state of the election. “I know we’re close to an election, but this isn’t a game,” Obama said from Hilliard, Ohio, a heavily Republican suburb of the capital city of Columbus. “These are people’s jobs.
These are people’s lives. ... You don’t scare hardworking Americans just to scare up some votes.” For once, the intensely scrutinized monthly jobs report seemed overshadowed by the pace of the presidential race. It was unlikely to affect the outcome. Employers added a better-than-expected 171,000 jobs in October, underscoring that the economy is improving. But the rate is still short of what will be needed to seriously shrink unemployment. The jobless rate ticked up to 7.9 percent from 7.8 percent — mainly because more people jumped back into the search for work. No issue matters more to voters than the economy, the centerpiece of a Romney message called the closing case of his campaign.
He said an Obama presidency would mean more broken relations with Congress, showdowns over government shutdowns, a chilling effect on the economy and perhaps “another recession.” “He has never led, never worked across the aisle, never truly understood how jobs are created in the economy,” said Romney, a former private equity firm executive, in a campaign stop in Wisconsin. Later in Ohio, he declared: “I will not represent one party. I will represent one nation.” Democrats sought to kick the legs out of Romney’s late-campaign theme of bipartisanship. “Mitt Romney’s fantasy that Senate Democrats will work with him to pass his ‘severely conservative’ agenda is laughable,” said Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid. Obama claimed he loved working with Republicans — when they agreed with him. His tone was scrappy. “I don’t get tired,” he said in the longest days of the campaign. When Romney’s name drew boos, Obama blurted out: “Vote! Voting is the best revenge.” While the politics intensified, real-life misery played out in the Northeast. The death toll and anger kept climbing in the aftermath of the massive storm Sandy. Millions were without power, and many drivers could find no gasoline. Obama noted at the top of his campaign speeches that he was still commanding the federal storm response. He also managed to tie it to the theme of his political bid. “We rise or fall as one nation and as one people,” he said, before
launching directly to the economic recovery under his watch. Polling shows the race remains a legitimate tossup heading into the final days. But Romney still has the tougher path to victory because he must win more of the nine most-contested states to reach 270 electoral votes: Ohio, Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Colorado, Nevada, Wisconsin, Iowa and New Hampshire. The dash for cash continued to the end. A fundraising email under Romney’s name asked for money to expand operations into other states and “redefine the landscape of this election.” An Obama fundraising pitch said final decisions were being made Saturday on where to direct the last campaign money. “It’s not too late,” it said.

to United Way and other outside funding to help continue expanding the Within My Reach and jail programs. “Because of United Way money, we were able to expand those programs,” said Rhonda Goodloe, regional coordinator for CSS. CSS has asked for $9,000 from the Finney County United Way in 2013, the same amount the agency was allocated in 2012. “It probably wouldn’t have much of a future,” Deborah Snapp, executive director of CSS in the Diocese of Dodge City, said about how Marriage
for Keeps’ growth relies on United Way and other funding to supplement the federal grant. “We need to have community resources to continue it at any level.” While Marriage for Keeps originally was geared toward strengthening couples’ relationships, the scope has grown and changed to where it now also teaches participants how to foster and maintain healthy parent/child relationships and relationships in the workplace and everyday life. “These skills can improve all areas of your life because so much of your life involves relationships,” Goodloe said. Caraveo found out
about the Within My Reach program when she began volunteering at CSS. In the Within My Reach program, participants take part in discussions that center on problem-solving, relationship expectations and teamwork, according to CSS. Caraveo said the program has taught her how to set and manage her expectations for relationships, whether they be romantic, with family and friends or even in the workplace. “A lot of self-awareness, getting to know yourself, to avoid conflicts with people,” Caraveo said about what she has learned through the program. For Goodloe, the pro-
gram is all about promoting the power of healthy relationships. For more information about the Marriage for Keeps programs, call 2720010. Or, come by the CSS office in Garden City, 603 N.

Obama’s strategy: Grind Romney’s path: Win indies, it out, get out the vote stoke base, avoid mistakes WASHINGTON (AP) — For President Barack Obama, winning re-election rests on a workmanlike, get-out-the-vote strategy aimed at protecting key territory in the Midwest, ramping up minority turnout and building early voting leads that could protect against a late surge by Republican challenger Mitt Romney. It’s a far cry from the lofty rhetoric and gauzy closing argument advertisements that defined Obama’s final push in 2008. And it’s a reflection of a race that remains tight in its final days, and an outcome that could hinge on little more than battleground state turnout. “We have two jobs: One, persuade the undecideds, and two, to turn our voters out,” said Jim Messina, Obama’s data-driven campaign manager. Obama himself has gotten deeply involved in those efforts. He made a personal appeal to 9,000 undecided voters on a conference call from Air Force One, promoted early voting by casting his own ballot before Election Day and offered encouragement to staff and volunteers during numerous stops to battleground state campaign offices. “I hate to put the burden of the entire world on you, but basically it’s all up to you,” Obama told volunteers this week in Orlando, Fla. His comments were meant to be light-hearted, but they spoke to the degree to which his campaign is counting on its massive ground game to carry Obama to re-election. The campaign relied heavily on that operation this week when Superstorm Sandy forced Obama off the campaign trail and back to Washington for three days to oversee the federal response. The Democratic get-out-the-vote effort kept churning, allowing Obama to project presidential leadership and offer comfort in a crisis — intangibles his campaign knows could be beneficial in persuading late-breaking voters. They helped him win over at least one person: New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, an independent, who said Obama’s

President Barack Obama speaks at a campaign event at Lima Senior High School, Friday in Lima, Ohio, before heading back to Washington. handling of the storm was key his decision to endorse the president. Obama, in his closing argument to voters, is trying to burnish his bipartisan credentials, seeking to convince voters he’s the same man who burst into the political spotlight eschewing the notion of red states or blue states. Polls show Obama and Romney tied nationally. But the president’s advisers say the map of competitive states tilts in their favor. The president started the race with more pathways than Romney for reaching the required 270 Electoral College votes, and aides say all of those options are still within reach. Romney’s campaign, on the other hand, is still grappling for a clear roadmap to 270. Nine states are up for grabs: Ohio, Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Iowa, Wisconsin, Colorado and Nevada. Key to Obama’s electoral strategy is protecting a Midwestern firewall: Ohio, Iowa and Wisconsin, a three-state combination that would put him over the necessary threshold. The president will visit those states multiple times in the campaign’s final stretch, including four straight days of travel to Ohio. Obama can win without Ohio. But if he does carry the state’s 18 electoral votes, it would make Romney’s path to victory far more difficult, requiring the Republican to win nearly every other competi-
tive state or pull off upsets in traditionally Democratic states. Private polling from both parties has Obama leading Romney in Ohio, where the president’s bailout of the auto industry is popular. And more Democrats than Republicans in the state have cast early votes. Romney’s campaign is looking to expand the battleground map by making a late play for a trio of left-leaning states: Pennsylvania, Michigan and Minnesota. That’s forced Obama’s team to buy television advertising time in states where it had hoped to avoid spending money. Obama aides insist it’s not in trouble in those states and aides say there are no plans for Obama or Vice President Joe Biden to travel there in the campaign’s closing days. Instead, they say their strong fundraising efforts have given them the financial means to defend against Romney’s criticism wherever he decides to run ads. But aides say turnout, not ads, will determine the election. Obama’s team has put particular emphasis on ramping up turnout during early voting periods, especially among “sporadic” voters who may be less likely to go to the polls on Election Day. Their efforts appear to be bearing fruit. Democrats have an edge in votes cast in Florida, Iowa, Nevada, North Carolina and Ohio. Republicans have an advantage in Colorado.
training, education, infrastructure and new energy sources. On the other side are Romney’s ideas for getting the government out of the way of growth by streamlining the tax code, lowering taxes and regulations on businesses, reducing federal deficits, and curbing environmental regulations to encourage oil and gas production. • At heart, it’s a choice between bigger or smaller government. Are welfare and food stamps a hand-up for those in need or a handout on the road to dependency? Are Americans better served by consistent national programs or giving control to the states? Do environmental regulations and Wall Street rules protect citizens or hold back businesses from creating jobs? How much of the work of government should be turned over to private enterprise? • Obamacare is on the line. Keeping the president’s program in place means expanding coverage for the low-income and the uninsured and keeping costs down for patients with pre-existing conditions. Romney would repeal Obama’s health care law to get rid of its new costs and taxes and the mandate that almost everyone have health coverage. He doesn’t say what he’d do instead. • Voters are choosing what to do about the runaway national debt, which already tops $16 trillion. Obama wants to slow spending gradually to avoid sending the economy back into recession, and raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans. Romney wants quick, more dramatic spending cuts across government, exempting
the military. • It’s a judgment about what the world needs next from the leader of the United States as America eases out of the war in Afghanistan. A more aggressive stance against Iran’s nuclear ambitions? A measured response to turmoil in Libya and the Middle East and civil war in Syria? Does success in ridding the world of Osama bin Laden equal strength against terrorists? Would pushing harder against China’s trade policies help U.S. workers or spark a trade war? • And it’s not just the White House. The tilt of the Supreme Court for decades to come may be at stake. Four justices are in their 70s; whoever is president will probably get to choose one or more replacements. • With Social Security and Medicare on shaky ground, Election Day may shape the future of American retirement. Romney wants to gradually raise the Social Security age and hold down benefits for wealthier retirees; Obama says he wants to protect Social Security but hasn’t offered a plan. Obama wants to keep today’s Medicare but rein in its costs; Romney proposes giving future retirees payments to help buy private insurance as an alternative to Medicare. • Maybe it’s a matter of deciding who is best for the groups each voter identifies with most: women, Hispanics, small-business owners, union members, gun owners, middle-class families, rural residents, seniors, immigrants, Christian conservatives, gays and lesbians. • Or choosing which way
WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitt Romney’s plan for victory boils down to this: Convince independent voters he’ll change Washington, stoke Republican enthusiasm and avoid unforced errors. The Republican nominee’s path to reaching the necessary 270 electoral votes cuts straight through Rust Belt states. He must stop President Barack Obama from sweeping Ohio, Iowa and Wisconsin — or win Democratic-tilting Pennsylvania, where he’s making a last-ditch effort while prevailing in most other competitive states. “President Obama promised change, but he could not deliver it. I promise change, and I have a record of achieving it,” the former Massachusetts governor told the cheering crowd of thousands Friday, making his closing argument — that he can do what he argues Obama didn’t: change the tone in hyperpartisan Washington. In the final days, Romney is employing a three-pronged approach designed to take advantage of anti-Obama sentiment coursing through the GOP and a general national malaise about where the country is heading at a time of economic sluggishness. The goal: boost turn out Tuesday in a race that polls show is tight both nationally and in the nine states considered the most competitive. Romney’s team is publicly confident. “We believe Mitt Romney will be the next president of the United States. We feel we are in a very, very good place,” Romney strategist Russ Schriefer says, arguing that momentum is on his candidate’s side. Obama’s team disagrees, arguing that Romney is running a desperate campaign as he hunts for a state-by-state path toward the magic number of Electoral College votes. Over the past few days, it’s become clear that Romney is trying to build a winning path with or without Ohio’s 18 electoral votes. Obama has had a slight but persistent edge
Associated Press
Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, gestures Friday as he campaigns at Screen Machine Industries, in Etna, Ohio. in most polls in a state that no Republican president has lost. Aides say they’re focused on two routes. Both make the big assumption that Romney will sweep North Carolina, Virginia and Florida, three states Republicans argue are most likely to go Romney’s way and the Republican seemingly must win to have a shot at the White House. Beyond that, one path calls for winning Ohio and either Colorado or Iowa; the other calls for winning Colorado and Iowa, and then either New Hampshire or Wisconsin or Pennsylvania, where he holds a last-minute rally Sunday in the vote-rich southeastern part of the state. As he travels to most of those states as the campaign wanes, Romney is making a pitch aimed primarily at the sliver of undecided and independent voters who could tip the balance in a tight race. He’s casting himself as the candidate who will change the status quo and work across the aisle to get things done. Aides said polling during the debates showed independents responding favorably to Romney’s comments of bipartisanship. Aides say the pitch is working, citing polls showing Romney gaining ground with independent voters. Romney’s also working to further rile up a Republican base that’s
already energized by the notion of beating Obama in hopes of turning out conservatives in droves Tuesday. The candidate is arguing he has momentum. Advisers say a perception that Romney is heading to victory is critical to maximizing GOP interest in the race. But while Romney gained ground in polls after the first presidential debate, Republicans and Democrats alike say that surge has slowed if not abated. Superstorm Sandy also drew attention away from the presidential race, raising questions about whether it froze a tight race in place, benefiting Obama more than Romney. Romney also is trying to fire up his base by running carefully targeted TV ads in key states aimed at stoking anti-Obama sentiment. In northwestern Ohio, working-class white voters were the target of TV and radio ads suggesting Chrysler is moving jobs to China at the expense of Ohio. The spots triggered withering criticism from state newspaper editorial boards, U.S. automakers and Obama’s campaign, with Vice President Joe Biden calling the claim an “outrageous lie.” In Miami, Romney is running an ad — intended for conservative Cuban American voters — that tied Obama to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Cuban President Raul Castro’s daughter, Mariela.
Two candidates, one choice that affects us all WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s a choice sure to touch the lives of all 315 million Americans, some in profound ways — their livelihoods, their health, their sense of freedom or confidence in the future, maybe even whether they go to war or live in peace. On Tuesday, voters will pick a man, a philosophy and a portfolio of plans to shape the United States and influence the world for four years. In days to follow, the winner will be tested by events — perhaps momentous ones — that no one can foresee. Voters can only go by what they know now: what Republican nominee Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama say they’ll do for the country, and what’s been revealed about each man along the way. After six days of political conventions, six hours of debates and a monthslong barrage of 30-second TV spots, plenty of people have heard enough. All that talk, talk, talk makes even mammoth issues — 7.9 percent unemployment, Obamacare, income tax rates, Social Security — sound like abstractions. Yet each affects real people, every day. The voters’ decision is concrete and powerful and, once made, we’ll all live with it. Some ways to look at that choice: • Four years after the U.S. financial system nearly imploded, we’re still figuring out how to heal the economy and help 12 million people find work. On one side is Obama’s plan to tax the wealthy more, end tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas, and spend more on job
Washington should lean on social issues like abortion, gay marriage, women in combat, and making exceptions to federal rules for religious institutions that are also employers. • For many voters, it’s as simple as Democrat vs.
Republican. But the choice is also law professor vs. venture capitalist. Illinois senator vs. Massachusetts governor. Stay the course vs. a new direction. Mr. You Didn’t Build that vs. Mr. 47 percent. Is a candidate the sum
of all his policies? Would either man be able to keep his promises if stymied by recalcitrant Congress members? Maybe, in an uncertain world, character trumps everything. The choice belongs to the voters.

his weekend, in Spearfish S.D., a National Guard unit will return from their Afghanistan Deployment. And family, friends, supporters and a ribeye steak courtesy of the All American Beef Battalion will be there to greet them. Since its first feed on April 26, 2008, the All American Beef Battalion has served more than 160,000 troops deploying or returning from serving overseas. In 2012 alone, the organization is estimating it will have cooked steaks for 62,000 U.S. service men and women. “Part of what is so nice is that you get to shake hands and you actually get to say ‘thank you’ face to face,” said Jon
Fort, Garden City resident and senior vice chairman of the orginization. The Beef Battalion was formed in 2008 with a mission statement to, “Promote American Beef and to support the troops and their families fighting the war on terror.” Its founder, Bill Broady, is a fourth generation cattleman from Ashland who served with the 3rd Marine Division in Vietnam in 1967. Fort, who was at the time a member of the Beef Empire Days board of directors, was recruited by the Beef Battalion before its first feed in 2008, and he and his family have been involved ever since. “I’ve always had a tremendous respect for our service men and women, and I didn’t like the way the service men and women were treated. I had lots of friends when I was in college that had been in the service and saw some bad stuff, and nobody ever said ‘thank you,’” Fort said. Through the years, the Beef Battalion has served a meal featuring an 18- to 20See Beef, Page B3

Arm troubles throw curve at son’s college baseball dreams S
ometimes dreams change without warning. I can’t remember a time when my son, Alek, did not play baseball. He was the kid who would move our vehicles out of the garage in the middle of winter so he could hit off a tee and throw into an old blanket we hung from the garage ceiling to get ready for the upcoming season. He was the kid his high school coach said should have his mail delivered to the batting cage because that’s where he spent all his time. He was the kid who played catch in between snow drifts to get his arm in shape. Now, he is the kid who returned his college scholarship because his arm has rebelled. Last summer he became the left-handed pitcher who turned into a right-handed outfielder. He could not pitch, but he
played the outfield, fielding the ball, flipping his glove off and throwing with his “off” hand. Alek has always been able to use his right hand. He has always bowled or tossed a football with his right, and for a time took guitar lessons, playing right-handed. He wanted to play righthanded because it kept him on the field. But college is different. Although he could have remained on the team, the pain prevented him from being a complete player, and the mental and emotional toll was too much. This week, we travel to Lincoln for a second opinion. For months, Alek rehabbed his arm for a growth plate that had not closed and caused inflammation in his rotator cuff and labrum. As unusual as it was for someone to have an open
growth plate at his age, it appears the problem persists. An MRI revealed no structural damage. At this time, it is only conjecture as to what the problem is. Maybe it’s serious, maybe not. The only thing I am certain is that no one knew how much Alek was suffering. Despite the attention he got from other teams, local and state media, he showed little interest in it. He accepted — but didn’t like — not being able to pitch for his American Legion team because he knew he had to get healthy
for college. When that didn’t happen, he was devastated. The night he told me he was quitting baseball, he told me he never expected this to happen. He couldn’t lift his arm to the top of his head without pain. He still wakes up some morning with an arm that hurts, and he hasn’t tossed a baseball in months. He doesn’t use the arm for any kind of activity. When his roommate and him shot hoops in their dorm on a Nerf hoop, he plays one-handed. I never understood how hurt he was emotionally until that night. Subsequent talks with Alek have revealed how upsetting it was for him. He also has mentioned maybe he should have stuck it out, but Alek is a perfectionist, and he new how good he had been on the mound. Athletes have a short win-
dow, and we all know about the ones whose careers have been shortened by injuries. At this point, it is important to get Alek’s arm healthy again so he can use it normally. I am optimistic. I have to be. This isn’t a tragedy in the sense of what a true tragedy is. This is a curve ball life has tossed Alek, much like the ones he used to snap off. Whatever the second opinion reveals, Alek will deal with it. He’s now handling the situation extremely well. Maybe the arm just needs more time to rehab and heal. Maybe Alek will find himself back on the mound again. Or maybe he gave it his all, and it’s time to move in another direction and make new dreams.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The act of Congress is in the books, the bills are paid, the sculptures are being cast, and one of the biggest parades in the world will start a glory tour and countdown to dedication. The first national monument to pay tribute to military dogs will be unveiled in California in just two months. The U.S. Working Dog Teams National Monument will honor every dog that has served in combat since World War II. Some cities, cemeteries and military bases across the country already have such memorials. But none has been elevated to national monument level, where it will be in the company of the Statue of Liberty, Yosemite National Park and Mount Rushmore National Memorial. In 2000, John Burnam, a 65-year-old veteran military dog handler, wrote a book called “Dog Tags of Courage.” A year later, he got an email from a reader wondering why there were no national monuments to the dogs of war. In “Dog Tags” and a 2008 book, “A Soldier’s Best Friend,” Burnam wrote about his time with the Army’s 44th Scout Dog Platoon when he was in Vietnam in 1967 and 1968. His first dog, Timber, was injured in an ambush a few months after they teamed up, so he spent most of his tour with a German shepherd named Clipper. “He saved my life and saved the lives of others by alerting on ambushes, snipers and booby traps. I wanted to give something back to these animals that have done so much and asked for so little, except for food and water and the love of their handlers,” said Burnam, who received the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star and Purple Heart. Back then, handlers were not able to adopt their dogs when they were retired. “I always worried about them but I know they died over there and they died as

It is the first national monument ever to pay tribute to dogs and honors every dog who has served in combat since World War II. heroes,” he said. In 2004, Burnam and two other dog handler veterans pursued the idea in earnest, forming the John Burnam Monument Foundation Inc. But it took two more years, until he met Rep. Walter B. Jones, R-N.C., that the monument project started to take shape. In 2007, Jones introduced legislation authorizing establishment of the monument. Passed unanimously by Congress, it was signed the next year by President George W. Bush, then amended and signed by President Barack Obama. Burnam designed the monument, which depicts the modern military handler and four dogs — a Doberman, German shepherd, Labrador retriever and Belgian Malinois, all breeds used in wars. The silicon bronze handler stands more than 9 feet tall and weighs 1,500 pounds. Each dog is about 5 feet tall and weighs 550 pounds. Burnam called them “hero-sized.” The figures will stand on a pedestal, in front of a large granite wall. One side of the wall will have
photos etched in black marble veneer showing dog teams in combat from the different wars. The other side will have an inscription written by Burnam. The sculptor, Paula Slater, said it was the largest and most complex monument she had ever done. She worked for thousands of hours, saying that finishing a project of that size “is like giving birth to a baby — five of them.” The money for the monument came slowly. Burnam made one of many fundraising pitches on the reality TV show “Who Let the Dogs Out,” featuring Tillman, the skateboarding, surfing and snowboarding bulldog. The president of New Balance Pet Foods Inc., the company that Tillman represents, attended the show taping and volunteered to pitch in more than $1 million. “Don’t do a thing. Natural Balance and Petco (Animal Supplies Inc.) will take care of it,” Joey Herrick said. To raise funds for the monument and its maintenance, Natural Balance created a jerky bark treat sold by Petco. Maddie’s Fund, a
family-funded pet rescue foundation, also signed on as a corporate sponsor. The public will get a sneak peak of the monument at the Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena on Jan. 1, when a floral replica will be used as Natural Balance’s float. Burnam, dogs and handlers from every military service branch will ride on it. When the float goes on display afterward at Victory Park, the real bronze monument will make its public debut next to it, Herrick said. Then the bronze monument will go on tour as it heads to Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio. The location was chosen as the site for the monument because that’s where most of the nation’s military’s dogs are trained. Meanwhile, Tillman, the dog that helped get Burnam the monument funding, is also getting personal recognition for his military service. For his work entertaining troops at bases and for going through a mini Marine boot camp, the athletic bulldog has been made an honorary private 1st class.

ounce ribeye steak and all the sides free of cost to deploying or returning troops. “The reaction is very, very positive. The young men and women are truly appreciative,� Fort said. “Some of the stuff we have seen is heart-wrenching because you see little ones with their parents, one of their parents is deploying and you see wives that are pregnant and you know that while they’re gone their son or daughter will be born, and so a lot of those predeployment are interesting and heart-wrenching to be honest, but they’re
very, very grateful.� The nonprofit organization, consisting only of volunteers, has traveled to 24 states and fed as many as 4,000 people at a time. “It’s 100 percent volunteer. Nobody gets paid, nobody draws a wage, everybody donates their time and all the money’s donated,� Fort said. “We are very, very fortunate and very blessed to have a great group of volunteers that are willing to dedicate time, take time from their jobs and their families and go do this.� “It’s more fun than ought to be allowed,� Tim Joyce of Garden City, a longtime volunteer, said. Fort and Joyce worked
together Friday morning to load food and supplies into the Beef Battalion trailer with the phrase “Feeding our Troops one Steak at a Time� stenciled on the back. The duo, along with several other volunteers, will make the 11-hour trek to South Dakota and serve nearly 400 meals to returning troops and their families. “This all boils down to ‘thank you.’ No strings attached, just ‘thank you,’� Joyce said.

The Sandy 15? Superstorm comfort-eating on menu By SAMANTHA CRITCHELL Associated Press
Jamie Sanders went to the grocery store in the aftermath of superstorm Sandy with good intentions. Cucumbers and apples were on her list. But her local supermarket hadn’t gotten any new supplies — and with the prospect of working at home for several days ahead, she joined the hordes of East Coast residents holed up in their homes who found comfort in the bottom of a crinkly bag, a brightly colored box or a perfect pint-sized cardboard container. “There was some canned food left and some Oreos,� the copywriter and beauty blogger said. “I do like Oreos, but these were an impulse buy. I saw they were Winter Oreos with red cream and a snowman on top and I had to try them.� Chips and salsa also went into the cart, although she would have preferred Doritos if any were left, and she sheepishly admitted to making a meal of some boxed
Associated Press
This image shows packages of cookies, donuts and chips in a cabinet in Wilmington, Vt. With residents of much of the East Coast holed up in their homes over the past few days as superstorm Sandy roared through, they found great company in foods they normally don’t eat. macaroni and cheese, too. Facebook and Twitter were full of similar miniconfessions of calories consumed while people were either left in the dark and trying to eat up what was deep in their freezer before it thawed, or making due with the shelf-stable, packaged foods that were in the grocery store after the meat and produce
were gone. Others turned to baking as a rainy day family activity. Add to that the Halloween candy that many people bought for trick-or-treaters and it really was “the perfect storm,� said New Yorkbased registered dietician Keri Glassman. Glassman, author of the upcoming book “The
New You and Improved Diet,� said stress and boredom make it hard to fight off temptation. Her advice: don’t eat it all in one sitting. “If you have that candy in the house, make it one treat a day for the next few days.� Oreos were also on the menu at Jill Nawrocki’s home in Brooklyn, although hers are of the Double Stuf variety. She is preparing to run in Sunday’s New York Marathon and had been expecting to be eating protein and leafy greens this week, but it wasn’t meant to be. “I usually do my grocery shopping on Sunday, which didn’t happen this week, so my cupboards were pretty bare,� she said via email. She had stocked up last year on “pretty gross� non-perishable foods during Hurricane Irene and didn’t want to make that same mistake. Even fitness trainer Simone de la Rue gave into a burger, french fries and margarita on Tuesday — for lunch, no less. “I’m going stir crazy myself. I have a little cabin
fever,� de la Rue said. “I never do this, but it helped me pass the time.� Nancy Yates, a retired United Nations development officer who lives in desolate lower Manhattan, where thousands of people are still living without power, went shopping with neighbor Norma Fontane for comfort food at a bodega lit by flashlight and candlelight. They picked up canned chicken noodle soup and crackers, chocolate bars, chips and cookies — “to help the depression,� Fontane joked. Extra time prompted Matthew Bautista, a publicist in Harlem, to go really far in the other direction: Instead of junk food, he has spent the last four days concocting gourmet meals. “I’ve been homebound, so I used my Dutch oven for the first time,� he said. His lights stayed on, so one night it was spare ribs braised in red wine, another it was butternut squash soup, and there’s still a pork loin to cook. He has invited neighbors and friends who are with-
out power or affected by flooding to join him. But now he knows that his local gym is open, so he is planning on squeezing that in between meals. Still without power at her apartment or West Chelsea studio on Wednesday, de la Rue was making up for her indulgences with a few extra workout videos streamed on her iPad. For fellow storm bingeeaters, she suggests candlelight yoga or any sort of household cleaning that requires scrubbing. If you’re home with the kids, ask them to put on their favorite music — maybe you’ll become hip to a little Carly Rae Jepsen or One Direction — and just dance around together. Next time, Glassman said, plan ahead and make things such as low-sodium, bean-based soups, frozen vegetables, peanut butter, canned tuna and salmon, green tea and oatmeal the pantry “staples.� It’s not too late to get on the bandwagon now, she added: “Every meal is a Monday morning.�
Central Kansas keyboardest never far from his tunes SALINA (AP) — Take music out of Big Joe Eddie’s life and he’d be just another Joe. Joe Komlofske, to be exact. Komlofske plays keyboards and other instruments for Gabby and the Guys, the membership of which fluctuates depending on the gig. “We never know how many will show up,� Komlofske said, explaining the “Guys� part of the Salina band, which entertains at area nursing homes and at other venues. Komlofske is never far from his tunes. Like his father, Komlofske has harmonicas stashed here and there. “I’ve got one in my pocket,� he said. “You never know when somebody will want some music.� Komlofske comes by his love of music genetically. His family, particularly on his mother’s side, is musi-
cal. It was his mother who introduced him to the keyboards. “Mom made each of us seven kids take a year of piano lessons,� Komlofske said, who grew up in Garden City. That led to playing organ in his church at age 12. He sang in his high school choir and went on to Garden City Community College to study music. But the chance to make some money struck a more harmonious chord than did more school, so he dropped out and landed a job at Beech Aircraft. “I wish I would have kept it up,� Komlofske said of his music major. He still works in the aviation industry, commuting from Salina to the Hawker-Beechcraft plant in Wichita, and plays music in the evenings and on weekends. “I read some music but play by ear,� he said. He obtained his profes-

A woman’s prayer is answered By DOT BEAMS There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers. — Saint Teresa of Avila ••• heard the rumbling, loud noises of my station wagon as I drove into my employer’s parking lot. Several employees turned their heads. I am not a mechanic, but I knew it did not sound good. The noises had started several days before, but there was nothing I could do about it. I was broke. That morning my boss called me into his office and asked me to close the door. This only happened once a year, during my annual appraisal. I’d already had that. I tried to recall if I had done something wrong. Nothing came to mind. “I’ve been noticing your car’s loud noises lately,â€?
I
Chicken Soup for the Soul my boss said. “My wife and I know you are going through a divorce. Every few years we donate one of our vehicles to a charity organization. This year we wondered if your church would allow us to donate one of our cars so you would receive it.� Shocked, I stammered, “I don’t know, but I’ll be happy to check with the church office.� “We have a newer model Mercury station wagon we would like to donate. It is in excellent condition, with a burgundy leather interior. It will be a great car for you. You’ll enjoy it.� I walked back to my desk in a stupor. Just one week earlier I had been teaching a
Christian women’s support group for single mothers. Each week I told them to be specific in their prayers. Whatever need they had, they were to tell God specifically. Prayers they had prayed for years were finally answered. Miracles happened weekly. That night I added my personal prayer request: “I desperately need a car, and there is no money for it. I’m really stepping out on faith and asking specifically. I need a station wagon, and I would love for it to be white.� All the ladies had laughed and giggled at the request. No one had ever heard a prayer like this before. I knew it was going to be a real test of faith. The next week, after work, my boss and I walked to the parking lot. He pointed: “This is your new car.� Wouldn’t you know it? It was a beautiful white station wagon.
“‘You need a stage name,’� the friend said. Komlofske thought
“Komlofske� sounded just fine, but his friend prevailed, so he used his
middle name of Edward to concoct Big Joe Eddie. By whatever name, Komlofske invites musicians of all skill levels to the jam session he organizes the third Sunday of the month at the Knights of Columbus Hall. “Anybody who wants can come and play or sing,� he said. “Some will get up and sing, but most will sit and listen.� He gets enjoyment from his music but also from the reaction of his audience, particularly nursing home residents. “My biggest joy is playing for people and seeing their smiles,� Komlofske said. Often they’ll sing along or start tapping their toes. For some, he said, a particular song will bring a few nursing home residents to tears. “They remember dancing with their spouse, and it brings back old memories,� he said.

Mom wants to reconnect with son DEAR ANNIE: My son’s father, “Joe,” and I divorced when “Bobby” was very young. Joe remarried and moved to another state. When Bobby was 11, I thought it best for him to go live with his dad so he could have a male role model. Joe was always a good father, just a lousy husband. Despite financial hardship, I eventually moved to the same state. The problem was Joe’s wife. She did everything possible to interfere with my relationship with Bobby, including intercepting phone messages and opening his mail, not giving my name to the school as an emergency contact, giving me false information about Bobby’s schedule, and blatantly lying to Joe about everything she and I discussed. Worse, she told Bobby I didn’t care about him. The last time I heard Bobby’s voice was a message he left on Mother’s Day five years ago. The last time I saw him was at his high school graduation, after which he and his father and stepmother moved to another state where Bobby started col-

lege. I have tried to contact him multiple times, to no avail. I believe he has since discovered the truth, but has not yet called me. At this point, I think he’s just embarrassed. But I need him to know something: There is nothing he could do or say that would make me love him less. He is my son. I love him and I miss him. There will be no blame. All he has to do is walk through the front door and say, “Mom, what’s for dinner?” — Waiting Patiently Dear Waiting: We hope he sees this and will do just that. Meanwhile, please call Joe directly and ask him to tell Bobby that you love him and miss him. DEAR ANNIE: For anyone who is having difficulty with their student loans, please tell them to check the website ibrinfo. org. It lets you know your rights and explains the
ways to lower payments. It also informs debtors about legislation that affects them. — Jacksonville, Fla. D ear Jacksonville: Thank you for this useful information. It’s not for everyone, but it’s worth looking into. DEAR ANNIE: “Tired in Toutle” was frustrated with dinner guests who stay too long. The best line I’ve ever heard to get guests to leave is: “Come on, Mother, let’s go to bed so these nice folks can go home” — Sarasota, Fla. Dear Sarasota: That line was the one the vast majority of our readers suggested. We like it. Here’s more: From Florida: Years ago, we had a party, and a few guests were still hanging around at 4 a.m. My husband and I kept looking at each other wondering how to get them to leave. He disappeared and came out brushing his teeth. Hint taken and they left. We laughed about it for a long time. Boston: Perhaps instead of two hours of conversation before dinner, she should try a half-hour of pre-dinner
Becker’s Bridge
talk, allowing time for a relaxed and enjoyable conversation afterward. Most people are not inclined to “eat and run.” In fact, the guests may want to leave as badly as the hostess seems to want them to, but leaving immediately after dinner seems rude. New York: We have a friend who, when it’s time to leave, takes off her earrings. This has always been a joke among her friends, but it’s effective. Texas: She should do like my late grandfather. If someone stayed past Grandpa’s bedtime, he would take off his shoes and tell my grandmother, “If they’re gonna be here all night, better make up a pallet for them on the floor.” That usually made the guests leave within a few minutes.

Stocking up on supplies for the next stage of life Dear Heloise: When my nephew graduated from high school and I knew he was going to college, I showed up at the party with a a fishing tackle box. (He did not like to fish.) In the tackle box, I had a hammer, several sizes of nails, a pair of pliers, a multihead screwdriver, a measuring tape and lots of screws and stick-up hangers. I also had paper clips and various paper fasteners. I threw in a few sewing supplies from my sewing room, too. When I know there is a graduation coming up, I look for items to put in the next fishing tackle box. It’s a hit every time. — Diane S., Toronto, Ohio
Pet pal Dear Readers: Dave and Denise Harner
of Swea City, Iowa, sent a photo of their female yellow Labrador retriever, Nuggie. In the photo, Nuggie looks like she is winking at the camera. To see Nuggie, visit w w w. H e l o i s e . com and click on “Pets.” — Heloise
Dirt versus soil D ear Heloise: Regarding your tips on starting seedlings: You don’t plant seeds in dirt; you plant them in soil. Dirt is the stuff you get on your hands or clothes, and that you use soap and water to get rid of ! — Julian H., via email This is a great point,
Julian! Most of us refer to them as one and the same, but technically there is a difference. Soil is the earth and what we walk on. Dirt is what’s scooped up, or all that stuff on our shoes and hands. When planting seedlings, it is best to first place the small sprouts in planters or peat pots filled with nutrient-rich “dirt” before transplanting them into the ground or soil. Happy gardening! — Heloise
Makeup foundation Dear Heloise: I use a foundation that is dispensed with a pump. When
it won’t pump anymore, there’s still a lot of product in the bottle. I remove the pump tube and instead reach in with a cotton swab and apply with my fingertips from that. I get at least another week of makeup from the “empty” container. — Cheryl B., via email
Extra bags at hand Dear Heloise: You have saved me many, many miles with the suggestion that we put our new trash bags in the bottom of our kitchen trash container. I usually put at least 10 new bags in the bottom of the container. Just think of the many steps I have saved. I have been doing this for many years. Thank you for this simple idea. — Peggy R., Sudan, Texas
Transforming instant gratification into lifelong happiness W
hen The Black Eyed Peas sing “Someday,” they’re crooning an anthem for immediate gratification: “I don’t want it someday; I don’t want it one day; Gotta have it somehow; I want it right now.” Our fast-food, living-off-credit culture has turned up the volume on what-I-want-I-want-now! And kids and adults who opt for immediate gratification often are obese and have to deal with what that leads to: diabetes, heart dis-
ease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and more. But you don’t have to get hooked on that feeling, or suffer the health repercussions that go along with it. So here’s our step-bystep guide to taking the long view — and dodging the health problems of immediate gratification. You’ll be surprised how much willpower you can exert and how the rewards will last a lifetime. 1. Choose a mantra that moves you. To stop your-
self from automatically grabbing a cookie, or opting for couch-potato land, come up with an inspiring motto to say out loud when temptation hits. Try: “I can feel better,” or “I am not going to do that today; instead, I’ll take a walk.” Then take a walk outdoors — 30-60 minutes will transform your attitude and banish cravings. 2. Set a realistic goal that will make you happy. Maybe it’s to lose 10 pounds; stop smoking; or

Saturday November 3, 2012 HAPPY BIRTHDAY The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Tension builds because someone has an expectation that you might not be able to meet. Starting a conversation could feel rather uncomfortable, but it is the first step. Walk away from a demanding person ... for now. Tonight: Entertain from home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Keep conversations moving, and do not get caught up in someone’s intense need for control. You can’t change this person, but you also don’t need to get involved in his or her power plays, either. You’ll gain a great deal of insight if you say less and listen more. Tonight: Breeze into a favorite place for a meal. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Your expenses could add up to more than you anticipated. Complete an important errand or finish up a key project. A friend or a group of friends are full of surprises. Stay centered. An older loved one demands your time and attention. Tonight: Indulge a little. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Follow through on what is important to you. You currently are in the position to realize an important goal. You might feel intimidated by a friend or loved one who has a tendency to be pushy. Be understanding and choose to say little. Tonight: Back out with grace. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Everyone needs a day off, no matter who he or she is. You push yourself to give 110 percent, no matter what you do. Needing some time just to rejuvenate is normal. Make time for what suits you. As an affectionate sign, you will make plenty of time for a loved one. Tonight: Not to be found. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You will want to stretch your legs and get out of the house. Surround yourself with friends or crowds. You enjoy the chatter in the background, even when you’re by yourself. Evaluate a challenging situation where the other party is trying to gain control; just do not play into

it. Tonight: Where you want to be. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You might feel pressured by a parent or older relative. Meet your responsibilities now in order to feel liberated later. Indulge a special person in your life. You don’t have to worry about anything else except having a good time. Tonight: Out on the town. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH If your mind keeps drifting to yonder lands, why not plan to take off in the near future? A call might feel appropriate and very fulfilling to all parties involved. Revise your plans so you can enjoy yourself, too. Tonight: Put on a great piece of music. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You will relate well to one person and enjoy the intensity of your interaction. Being around crowds generally makes you smile, but not now. Use care with your funds. You do not want to spend too much, as it could make someone feel uncomfortable. Tame your impulsive side. Tonight: Share with a dear friend or loved one. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might not know which way to turn or which invitation to accept. Slow down and prioritize. Choose what you want to do and the company you would most enjoy yourself with. A family member or roommate does the unexpected. Tonight: Go along with someone’s suggestion. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You are mellower than you have been in a while. Free yourself up for a spontaneous get-together. Whether you are pitching in or throwing the party, what pleases you is bringing your friends together. Tonight: As late as you can go. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Whether you are single or attached, you enjoy a new friend or loved one as you decide to go off and indulge in a mutual favorite pastime. Do not let a friend’s request change your plans or the current mood. Use care with your money. Tonight: Love the one you are with.

Fitness for the holidays By MELISSA KOSSLER DUTTON Associated Press
For the Kent family of Amherst, N.H., getting dressed for the holidays often means lacing up hiking boots or buckling a helmet. For the last 11 years, they have made a tradition of spending many Thanksgivings, Christmases and Easters at a national park doing something active. Many Americans find
holiday breaks an ideal time to pursue fitness-oriented activities, from holidaythemed races to just exercising together. “More communities are offering family-oriented events. It just creates another opportunity to create lasting memories,� said Cheryl Richardson, senior director of programs for the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance, in Reston, Va.
The Kents’ children — Tanner, 18, and Peyton, 16 — have explored caves in Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico, hiked glaciers in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park in Alaska and rock-climbed in Yosemite National Park in California. “People associate holidays with a sit-down meal like Easter ham or Thanksgiving turkey,� said their mom, Lisa Kent. “We were replacing it with hiking or an outdoor adventure.�

FOUND SPACE
BY DEBBIE TRAVIS You are looking for space to pile up books and magazines that doesn’t look cluttered or junky. You’d like to tuck in a desk for your computer that doesn’t need to be cleared off when you decide to eat. A comfy chair would be lovely to curl up in and read in a quiet corner. But where? Finding a precious few feet of livable or storable space is a constant challenge, but it is there for you if you do a bit of investigating, and yes, sorting through what you have. If you’ve lived in a home for a few years, it’s a given that there is stuff in boxes, cupboards and under the beds that won’t be missed. Tidy up and declutter, and empty spaces will emerge. Clean out the attic, paint the walls, throw down a carpet, and there’s a quiet retreat for work, relaxing, playing an instrument or crafting. Design along with the particular shape and dimensions of the area. Dormers cut off head room, but a bed or desk or row of storage cabinets fits perfectly in the nooks. Maximize bedroom closet space with organizers, rods on two levels, built-in shelves and shoe racks. Separate out-of-season clothing, pack into clothing bags and store under the bed. (Do this twice a year and edit while you are at it for more space next season.) Sometimes more space simply means more accessible space. In the kitchen, pare down to essentials and look for kitchen cabinet organizers such as spinning shelves for awkward corner cabinets, sliding shelves and built-in spice racks. Furniture, too, can be recycled and replaced with pieces that are more versatile. Switch up the lumpy sofa bed for a modern sectional that has built-in storage. Opt for a nest of tables that offers you three usable surfaces when needed yet takes up minimum space. Stretch bookshelves to the ceiling so that your collections are visible and close at hand with no wasted space. Special purpose appliances bring practical versatility to kitchens and bar areas. Electrolux offers a tantalizing variety of design options and models

Dripping with style: looks for chandeliers By MELISSA KOSSLER DUTTON Associated Press
Some interior designers tout paint as the best way to change the look of a room. For Lisa Roberts, “It’s lighting. ... It’s more bang for the buck.” With the holidays approaching, a new chandelier could be a fun and affordable way to make over the dining room, said Roberts, a Minneapolis designer who organized a chandelier fashion show at the home and garden show in that city earlier this year. Michelle Jennings Wiebe, president of Studio M Interior Design in Tampa, Fla., agreed, saying a dining room should be about more than the table and chairs. “You really need that piece that caps it off and makes it special,” she said. “It’s almost like a piece of artwork.” Chandelier shoppers have plenty of choices these days. Chandeliers come in a variety of styles, and can range in price from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands. “We have a lot of fun picking them out,” Wiebe said. “It’s a way to make a special impression.” New manufacturing techniques have led to the creation of designs and shapes that previously were not possible, said Joseph ReyBarreau, an architect and lighting designer and a professor at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. Trends include jewel tones, geometric-inspired pieces, retro fixtures and the use of lamp shades, these lighting experts said. Roberts included several colorful chandeliers at her show. She favors deep jewel tones, and showed one piece made out of black cut crystal. A chandelier can add sophistication or whimsy to a home, she said. The decor featured on the television show “Mad Men” has created more interest in Mid-century Modern, said Wiebe, and many of her clients are choosing slim, sleek pieces reminiscent of the 1950s and ’60s. In Florida, shell, coral or other nature-inspired lighting also is a common choice, she said. Shannon Cantor so appreciates the seashellinspired chandelier in her condo in Redington Beach, Fla., that she put a variation of it in her second home, in Tampa. She said she and her husband wanted something they would enjoy looking at every day. “We walk by it a lot,” said. “You want something that grabs your attention. It’s going to be there for a long while.” Rey-Barreau called lamp shades on chandeliers “a very, very fashionable trend,” from lights surrounded by a single, round drum shade (a little like a hanging table lamp) to a group of mini drum shades covering each bulb. Some chandeliers have removable shades, so you can use them or not. When helping clients choose a chandelier, Wiebe considers the size of the room and the style of the home. But she also reminds them that the fixtures have a job to do. “First and foremost it’s for lighting,” she said. For instance, will a table with lighting overhead be used mostly for eating or will children be doing homework there? “You really need to think about what you are going to do with the fixture,” said Rey-Barreau. He offered these chandelier tips: • Always put chandeliers on a dimmer switch. This makes them more functional and can help set a mood in the dining room. • To determine what size chandelier is needed, add the width of the room to the length of the room in feet, and then convert that number to inches for a chandelier’s diameter. A 10-by20-foot room, for instance, would require a chandelier with a diameter of about 30 inches.

Give roots elbow room by pruning By LEE REICH
To root prune, take a sharp knife, grit your teeth, and slice a one-half to 2-inch layer of soil from all around and underneath the root ball. The larger
the root ball, the more soil and roots can be removed. Then go over the whole root ball again, this time with a pronged hand cultivator or a stick, loosening soil and roots on the outside. Also prune back any lanky or damaged roots. With roots pruned, the plant is ready to return to its pot. Put a stone or screen over any drainage holes, then shovel in enough soil so that the base of the plant’s stem sits one-half to 1 inch below the rim. Gradually fill the space between the root ball and the pot with potting soil, tamping it in place with your finger tips or a blunt stick. Watering is important during the couple of weeks or more that a plant is recovering from root pruning. Right after pruning, give the plant a thorough soaking. When new growth begins, make sure all the soil stays moist — the old soil because even with its reduced size it must still support the plant, and the new soil to encourage new root growth there. (Cactii and other succulents are an exception: Let their soil thoroughly dry between waterings, even after root pruning.) Finally, prune the stems so the reduced root system has fewer leaves to support. Besides, the whole purpose of root pruning has been to keep the plant from growing larger. Rest assured that plants tolerate all this pruning. Just look at bonsai trees, whose heights can still be measured in inches after hundreds of years. They are kept that way with regular root and shoot pruning. For more about all types of pruning, see my “The Pruning Book” (Taunton Press, 2010).
mits in four years, a sign that many are confident that home sales gains will continue. Home building is still far below the pace that economists say is consistent with a healthy housing market.
New home sales jumped last month to the highest annual pace in the past two and a half years. Sales of previouslyoccupied homes dipped in September but have risen steadily in the past year.
Associated Press
“Root pruning” sounds like such a brutal way to treat a plant. Yet it’s a periodic necessity once any potted plant has grown as large as you want it to. Potted plants — like other plants — grow, and while a 50-foot-tall weeping fig is a glorious sight on a Caribbean island, my living room ceiling won’t allow it. Root pruning slows stem growth, and makes room for new soil and new roots. How often to root prune any potted plant depends on how fast that plant grows, and any quirks it has about being root-pruned. Angel’s trumpet, for example, gets one severe root and stem pruning every year, in fall. Root and stem pruning are needed to stimulate new stem growth, on which is borne those eerily beautiful, pale-apricot-colored trumpets. Potted fig plants can fruit in pots as long as they get root pruned every year or two so that roots find new soil to promote vigorous, annual stem growth. In contrast, after 19 years, I have yet to root prune my pony tail palm.

Plants have subtle ways of indicating that their roots need new soil in which to roam. Keep an eye out for plants that dry out too rapidly or send roots creeping out drainage holes. My ponytail palm burst its pot; perhaps it’s time to root prune or give it a larger pot. Root prune any plant that’s beginning to look too tall or too crowded in
This undated photo shows root surgery being performed on a kumquat (Fortunella japonica) plant in New Paltz, New York. To root prune, take a sharp knife, grit your teeth, and slice a one-half to two inch layer of soil from all around and underneath the root ball. The larger the root ball, the more soil and roots can be removed. its pot — or give it a larger pot. Exceptions include clivia, which thrives cramped for years in the same pot until eventually bursting it. The best way to tell whether a plant needs
root pruning is to slide the root ball out of the pot and examine it. Thick roots pressed right to the edge of a root ball, or circling its outside, indicate that the time to operate has come.

U.S. home prices rise in August at faster pace WASHINGTON (AP) — Home prices rose in August in nearly all U.S. cities, and many of the markets hit hardest during the crisis are starting to show sustained gains. The increases are the latest evidence of a steady housing recovery. The Standard & Poor’s/ Case Shiller index reported Tuesday that national home prices increased 2 percent in August compared with the same month a year ago. That’s the third straight increase and a faster pace than in July. The report also said that prices rose in August from July in 19 of the 20 cities tracked by the index. Prices had risen in all 20 cities in the previous three months. Cities that had suffered some of the worst price declines during the housing crisis are starting to come back. Prices in Las Vegas rose 0.9 percent, the first year-over-year gain since January 2007. Prices in Phoenix are 18.8 percent higher in August than a year ago. Home values in Tampa and Miami have also posted solid increases
over the period. Seattle was the only city to report a monthly decline. Still, prices there fell just 0.1 percent in August from July and are 3.4 percent higher than a year ago. Prices in Atlanta have fallen 6.1 percent over the 12 months that ended in August, the largest yearover-year decline. But Atlanta has posted the largest price gain among the 20 cities over the past three months, according to Trulia, a housing data analysis firm. “The sustained good news in home prices over the past five months makes us optimistic for continued recovery in the housing market,” David Blitzer, chairman of the Case-Shiller index, said. The steady increase in prices, along with the lowest mortgage rates in decades, has helped many home markets slowly rebound nearly six years after the housing bubble burst. Rising home prices encourage more people to put their homes on the market. They may also entice would-be buyers
to purchase homes before prices rise further. The S&P/Case-Shiller index covers roughly half of U.S. homes. It measures prices compared with those in January 2000 and creates a threemonth moving average. The August figures are the latest available. The figures aren’t seasonally adjusted, so some of the gains in August reflect the benefit of the summer buying season. Stan Humphries, chief economist at the housing website Zillow, expects the monthly price figures will decline in the fall and winter. “This doesn’t mean the housing recovery has been derailed,” he said. “This is exactly what bouncing along bottom looks like.” Other recent reports show that the housing market is improving, albeit from depressed levels. Home builders started construction on new homes and apartments at the fastest pace in more than four years last month. They also requested the most building per-

GCCC men’s, women’s basketball both pick up wins By ADAM HOLT
aholt@gctelegram.com
Becky Malewitz/Telegram
Garden City Community College women’s basketball head coach Alaura Sharp talks to her team during a timeout during the first half of Thursday’s game at the Perryman Athletic Complex.
Progress not measured in wins, losses for Hill B
efore the 2012 football season kicked off for the Garden City Buffaloes, head coach Brian Hill said the team’s progression in his third year at the helm might not be measured in wins and losses. He said it would be more in how the team would compete week-in, week-out. Hill couldn’t have been more prophetic in his preseason comments. With the exception of the opening blowout to Bixby, Okla. and the humbling loss to Hutchinson, this year’s Buffs were in the thick of every game they played — wins and losses. Only a last-minute loss to Hays and a dismal performance in the season-ending Hatchet Game at Dodge City prevented this year’s Garden City team from being 7-2 rather than 5-4. It was just that type of season. Whereas the 2011 season was a season of making the plays that produced a pivotal win, this year’s squad was tagged with inconsistency and fumbling away potential wins. There are reasons for the Buffs’ 2012 slightly better-thanaverage record. First, they had to replace See Marshall, Page D3
The Garden City Community College women’s basketball team kept rolling in its second game of the season, beating Brown Mackie 84-57 Friday at the Pepsi Classic, hosted by Seward County Community College in Liberal. “We came on the floor and we did what we were supposed to do,” GCCC head coach Alaura Sharp said in a phone interview. Five Lady Broncbusters scored in double figures for Garden City, led by Shicole Watts with 18 points. Tamara Jones added 16, Jessica Goble had 13, and Deni Jacobs and Kenee Green each had 10 points. Sharp said the Busters were able to work the ball inside early, which opened up chances shoot-
ing from the outside. GCCC hit nine 3-pointers, shot 45 percent from behind the arc, and 55 percent from the field. Brown Mackie didn’t have much of a post presence, and at times ran lineups with essentially all guards, which Sharp said gave Garden City a bit of trouble at times. Sharp said she liked the defense the Busters played, and after getting in foul trouble Thursday against Midland (Texas) — about the only blemish in that 88-50 win — GCCC did a better job in that area on Friday. “It got a little bit better, but I’m not sure how much we were challenged, as far as Tamara’s play, just because she really wasn’t defending a back-to-thebasket player,” she said. “I do think we made a conscious effort
to do a better job there.” The 2-0 Busters play Oklahoma Baptist’s junior varsity today at 2 p.m., also in Liberal. Oklahoma Baptist lost, 120-59 to Seward County. “It’s one of those games where we have to go in and focus on ourselves,” Sharp said. “Seward had them down really big, we left just before half. They were about to be up 25 or so. So, just gotta focus on ourselves and gotta really challenge ourselves to play hard, and keep improving and getting better as a basketball team.”

State of the Buffs
Garden City football coach Brian Hill looks back at the 2012 season. By BRETT MARSHALL
bmarshall@gctelegram.com
One of the big question marks that faced the 2012 Garden City Buffaloes football team was who would be the starting quarterback. That was answered just before the seasonopening game at the new Buffalo Stadium when coach Brian Hill tabbed junior Greyson Tempel to be his new signal caller, replacing the graduated Jake Curran. Other questions abounded as well. Who would be the top receivers? Who would start on both sides of the line? Untested and unproven, many of the answers were realized during the Buffs’ 5-4 season. Many of those answers were never realized, too. It was, in essence, a roller-coaster ride for Hill, finishing his third season at the helm of the Buffs’ gridiron program. “I definitely think the season had some positive moments,” Hill said in an interview to discuss the state of the Buffs’ football program. “The number of players who stepped into roles, especially with the injuries we had, that showed we had some depth. The way the kids reacted, they came to practice every day, every week and worked as hard as they could. We were building with young kids and we just could be who we had to be.” The Buffs, indeed, had to battle the old injury bug. At times, Hill would rarely know who was going to be available to play on the offensive and defensive line until game day. He estimates that nine or 10 players saw starting duties on the offensive side of the ball while about 12 to 14 played on the defensive side. “A lot of young kids gained experience, but we certainly didn’t have a lot of continuity up front,” Hill said. “I think that’s why you saw inconsistency in our performance. I’m not trying to blame anybody, but it’s difficult to have consistency when you’re continually putting in new players.” That lack of consistency saw the Buffs get blown out in the season opener against Bixby, Okla., 42-7, when six plays for the Sooner state school produced six touchdowns and 253 yards.
Stanton Co. loses, 14-12, Hatchet Game’s weird play makes ESPN, YouTube to Oakley See State, Page D3

OAKLEY — It was just that close. Two measley points. That was the miniscule difference between the Oakley Plainsmen’s 14-12 Class 2A regional victory and the heartbreaking loss suffered by the Stanton County Trojans on Friday night. These two teams were oh-so evenly matched, and the narrow two point margin was just the final exclamation point. “Our kids played with a lot of heart tonight,” Oakley coach Randall Rath said afterward. “It was a tough, tough game. They’re really fast, but I thought one of the keys was our ability to not let them get outside the tackles much.” The Plainsmen held Trojan quarterback Quinn Kendrick in check most of the night, limiting him to 44 yards on 18 carries. Bret Gum picked up the slack, gaining 118 yards on 16 attempts. See Heartbreaker, Page D3
The play that may well go down as the strangest in the 75-year history of the Hatchet Game between Garden City and Dodge City High Schools has gone viral on the Internet. Also, it has made its way to the television screen on ESPN, where the unlikely fumble recovery by Immanuel Galloway of Dodge City made the No. 5 play on ESPN’s Top 10 plays of the week.
Brad Nading/Telegram
Garden City High School head football coach Brian Hill gives instructions to his offense during a game this season at Buffalo Stadium.
Mitch Moore’s snap to center hit his rear end and skyrocketed off to the right where Galloway grabbed it in mid-air, stepped out of a shoestring tackle by Garden City quarterback Greyson Tempel, and raced 78 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter that would prove to be the deciding points in the Red Demons’ 24-20 victory a week ago. “It just hit him dead in stride and I’ve never seen anything like it in my whole coaching, playing career,” Hill said earlier this week. “Mitch said he kind
of lost track of being in the shotgun formation. It’s something he nor I can explain. Nobody has done more for our program than Mitch, nobody feels any worse about it than Mitch. But I will say one thing, we don’t have the kind of seasons we’ve had the last couple of years without Mitch Moore and his leadership.” About the only thing the video folks did get right was the fact that it was Dodge City’s Galloway who plucked the ball out of the air.
They called Greyson Tempel, Mason Tempel, and they called Moore, Morris. Unfortunately, it’s the kind of publicity that the Buffs would rather not see. It was a painful end to the 2012 season, and to see it on the Internet only keeps the agony around. No doubt, it likely was Dodge City that sent the play in. It was certainly a strange one, no doubt. And you can bet when the teams return to Dodge City for the 2014 game, it will make its way onto the video jumbotron.
Busters believe they can beat Butler in rematch By ADAM HOLT
aholt@gctelegram.com
It’s all about belief this week for the Garden City Community College football team. The belief is that the Broncbusters can beat the undefeated No. 2 Butler Grizzlies in the first round of the Region VI playoffs. The realities are two-fold: One, that Butler pounded Garden City in an 81-13 game
last month; two, that game doesn’t really have any bearing on what happens at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, at the BG Products Veterans Sports Complex in El Dorado. “Gotta believe,” GCCC head coach Jeff Tatum said. “You can see that the attitude’s changed,” sophomore defensive end Keith Curran said. “I see a lot of players, they don’t believe that they’re (the Grizzlies) 71 points better.”
That was the case on Oct. 6, when the Busters were in a 21-13 game with 9 minutes, 47 seconds to go in the second quarter, then found themselves down by 22 four minutes later. Since the game’s being played on a Sunday, the Busters (6-3) got an extra day of prep, which Tatum said helped. In a post-practice huddle Friday, Tatum called out individual players and told them to visualize success — whether it
was coaxing cornerback Earnest Butts to imagine returning an interception for a touchdown, or telling running back Jamal Tyler to see himself breaking a long run. “Michael Jordan used to talk about, that he had played in his head 1,000 times before doing it,” Tatum said later. “I think it’s part of being focused. If you sit there and you dream about See Belief, Page D2

Belief: Busters face Butler in Region VI playoff game Continued from Page D1
something you’re doing, and you’re thinking about football, it helps you focus on what’s going on.” Focus will be important for Garden City, which aside from some drops on thirddown, looked all right on offense early in the first Butler (9-0) matchup. Once they were down big though, the Busters struggled — gaining just 82 second-half yards. “That’s something that I’ve stressed with the guys, is we can’t lose our identity and what we are on offense, and just start playing — basically what I call street ball, is what we started playing once we got down by 30 or something last game,” offensive coordinator Matt
Miller said. “Guys were inventing their own routes. We can’t do that; we’ve got to stay within the framework of the offense. If we do that, we can get those points back, if we do get down.” Garden City showed it can launch a comeback last week, scoring 17 points in the final 5:27 of a 54-47 loss to Coffeyville. Down by 24, quarterback Nick Marshall led the Busters on three scoring drives, and the defense forced a fumble and a three-and-out to at least give GCCC a shot at tying the game. “It was a positive thing that we took out of the game the other day, was the fact that we never quit,” Tatum said. “We got a lot of confidence from it. That we can come from behind, the defense can make a stop
when they want to.” Miller said the Busters have looked good in practice this week, and that they’ve got a good handle on picking up pass rushers, something they struggled with at times in the first game. Marshall was hit hard by the Grizzlies, and was sacked seven times. Having running back Jamal Tyler, who missed the last Butler game with a hamstring injury, should help. Tyler is the Busters’ best runner between the tackles, and having another threat in the rushing game should keep the blitz-happy Grizzlies honest, Tatum said. “Is he the reason we’re gonna win? No, it’ll be a team thing,” Tatum said of Tyler. “But he may be the difference from us losing
last time and winning this time.” Tatum also stressed the importance of keeping the game close — a tall task, considering Butler scores 58.1 points per game and gives up just 9.1. Part of that will be ball security. Garden City lost six turnovers in the loss to Coffeyville, and four in the loss to Butler. Tatum said the Busters can’t afford to get “bored,” if the same play has success, and that sometimes, Marshall tries too hard to get everyone involved in the passing game, sometimes at the expense of hitting open receivers. Again, keeping disciplined and not trying to force things — even if Garden City is down big — will be paramount. Defensively, the key will

84-63, Friday at the Saddler Farms Classic in Colby. “I thought we had a good opening-night performance,” Chappell said in a phone interview. “Played an athletic team, and shot the 3-point shot well.” The Busters opened up
a big lead in the second half, and Chappell was able to get 11 players into the game. He credited the team’s defense for helping to pull away from the Indians in the second. “Mainly, our defense,” he said. “The first two minutes of the second half, we guarded well. That allowed
us to push the lead out.” Sophomore guard Frank Agholor, who scored 15 points, was one of five Busters in double figures, and Chappell said he figured about 10 players had at least 10 minutes of time on the court. Chappell said the Busters moved and distrib-
uted the ball well, and got better as the game went on. While he said everyone played well, Chappell did note that Kyle Hall did a nice job coming off the bench. Garden City plays Sterling College’s junior varsity today at 5:30 p.m., also in Colby.
again be to limit big plays, which have hurt the Busters all year. Eight of Butler’s 11 offensive touchdowns in the first matchup were on plays of at least 20 yards. Tatum said GCCC has worked on a lot of the “little things,” like running to the ball, tackling angles and backside pursuit. A close game is what Tatum wants. Butler hasn’t played in any of them this season, and Tatum wants to know how the Grizzlies
would react. Whether the game actually can stay close or not? It’s a matter of belief. “I think the guys believe we can beat them,” Tatum said. “But at the same time, we’ll need some success early to really get our confidence going.” NOTES: Quintavious Harrow will start at free safety in place of Ian Stone, who suffered a concussion last week’s game against Coffeyville.

Thunder beat Trail Blazers, 106-92, in home opener OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — So far, Kevin Martin considers it an easy transition into James Harden’s old role as the Oklahoma City Thunder’s top bench player. Having two All-Stars to work with can make it look that way. Russell Westbrook scored 32 points, Kevin Durant had 23 points and 17 rebounds, and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Portland Trail Blazers 106-92 on Friday night to win their fourth straight home opener. Martin added 19 points, hitting a 3-pointer and a runner during an 112 spurt that extended the Thunder’s lead to 95-81 with 4:05 remaining. Durant had the assist on both baskets. “They have to pick their poison when it comes to us,” Martin said. “We’re both used to putting up numbers in this league, so they’re going to take him and he’s going to make the easy pass to me or ... they took me and then I made the pass to him. “We can read off each
other very well.” LaMarcus Aldridge led Portland with 22 points and 15 rebounds and first-round pick Damian Lillard followed a sizzling debut with 21 points and seven assists. The Trail Blazers shot 36 percent and were unable to follow up their surprising opening win against the Los Angeles Lakers. “We competed for most of the game,” first-year Blazers coach Terry Stotts said. “We had a hard time putting the ball in the basket.” Oklahoma City bounced back from an opening loss at San Antonio that at least temporarily shifted the focus off Harden’s departure. The NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year was traded to Houston last Saturday night, shaking up the Thunder’s second line before they could even play a game after making it to the NBA Finals. He wasn’t missed as much in this one. Oklahoma City led throughout the second half, but twice allowed

most of their skill position players. Second, they had to survive a plethora of injuries to both offensive and defensive linemen. Third, they had a new placekicker and punter. It was all on a graduated learning curve for this year’s edition of the Buffs. When one looks back on the 2012 campaign, you couldn’t really expect the Buffs to stay with Bixby. The Oklahoma school had the advantage of three preseason scrimmages against other teams while the Buffs didn’t even get their own intrasquad scrimmage played due to weather. They beat the teams they were supposed to beat, with the lone exception coming in the startling, heartbreaking loss to Dodge City in the Hatchet Game, the one that kept them from making the playoffs for the third straight season. In an assessment of what ifs, the 29-21 loss to Hays was one of those games that could have ended with the Buffs on top. And if you don’t turn the ball over six times, if you don’t miss an extra point, if you don’t miss a field goal, if Dodge City doesn’t recover its own fumble in the end zone for a touchdown, if you don’t fumble deep in your own territory to set up a short TD run by Dodge, and if you don’t have the weirdest center snap and defensive pickoff of a ball in mid-air for an 82-yard TD return — all of those “ifs” — then the Buffs win this game going away. But that’s not what happened. This edition of the Buffs could have caused a coach, and certainly fans, to have all sorts of stomach disorders. At the same time, there were plenty of exhilirating moments. I’ll always remember the 276yard rushing effort by Greyson Tempel in the 45-28 romp at Great Bend. He added in a pair of TD passes for good measure in one of the best offensive shows ever displayed by a Garden City football player. Three years into his program construction project of GCHS football, one could say that Hill and his staff have a solid foundation in place. They’ve gone 5-4, 7-2 and 5-4 in regular season play, they’ve made the playoffs two of the three years and just barely missed a third venture into the postseason. They’ve won a playoff game, too, with both playoff losses com-
ing to 6A power Wichita Heights on the road. They still have a ways to go to become the power that Hill envisions. That was never more evident than the spanking they got at Hutchinson. The Salthawks have won seven of eight 5A and 6A state championships and are the standard by which Kansas high school programs today are measured. The last time the Buffs had three consecutive regular-season winning campaigns was in 1999 (technically, 2000, Jim Mireles’ first year at 7-2), the year they won the school’s only state championship in Class 6A. That was the end of the Dave Meadows tenure, when the controversial coach resigned under pressure for off-field actions. But he did build the Buffs into a state power, recording an 87-34 (.719 percentage) record during 12 seasons. He, too, never had a losing season and produced perennial playoff contenders on a regular basis. When Hill took the reins for the 2010 season, the Buffs had not had a better than .500 record in four seasons. Under Mike Smith, the Buffs were respectable and competitive, the 2005 season being the highlight, when a 4-5 regular season turned into magic when they went all the way to the 6A sub-state championship game before losing to Hutchinson. Hill would be the first to tell you that he is happy with the progress the program has made, but at the same less than satisfied with what has been the result. Still, there’s much to like about what he’s doing with the Buffs’ football program. And, knowing that he isn’t satisfied, people have to realize that he’s working his tail off to bring the program into the elite level it once enjoyed. They’ve seen what it takes to be on the mountaintop (see Heights and Hutchinson). They know what it is like to face a team such as Bixby, Okla. There are no surprises looming on the horizon for the 2013 schedule. Hill will do everything he can to make sure the Buffs are ready for that challenge. Time will tell how much more Hill’s program construction project has progressed.

Lillard’s right-handed floater got the Trail Blazers within 64-63 with 3:04 left in the period, before Durant hit a free throw and Nick Collison got free for a twohanded dunk. The Thunder never looked back, finishing with a 44-24 scoring advantage in the paint and a 23-6 edge on the fast break. “We just ran the floor better. A lot of guys finished a lot better around the basket. That got us easy points,” said Westbrook, who was 13 for 24 from the field and had six assists. Durant ended up with a full stat line, finishing one shy of his career best in rebounds to go with seven assists and six of the Thunder’s 12 turnovers while dabbling at the point guard. Collison was Oklahoma City’s only other player in double figures, with 12 points. He dived to save a ball from going out of bounds on one baseline, getting it to Westbrook,
who whipped it ahead to help Durant earn two free throws. “I saw the ball and was able to get after it quick,” Collison said. “I feel good. I feel like I’m reacting well. I feel like I’m really locked into the game. “Those are the type of plays you can make if you’re really locked in mentally, where you can just go get it and react.” The sequence finished off the Thunder’s big fourth-quarter run and effectively put the game away. “We got enough stops. That was big. We finally were getting some stops and created some separation,” Collison said. Wesley Matthews chipped in 17 points and J.J. Hickson contributed 14 points and 12 rebounds, seven on the offensive end, for Portland. Lillard, who joined Oscar Robertson and Isiah Thomas as the only players with at least 20 points and 10 assists in an NBA debut, had seven assists and two turnovers.

State: Buffs had up-and-down season Continued from Page D1
An ugly 17-7 win at Woodward, Okla. followed, but running back Zach Finch, a promising sophomore, and defensive back Emilio Parr were both injured in that game and never fully recovered. The Buffs followed that with perhaps their most complete game of the season — a 45-28 demolition of Great Bend — when Tempel rushed for 276 yards and four touchdowns and passed for an additional two TDs. It was the second-best rushing performance in GCHS history. Then came perhaps one of the toughest losses of the year, a 29-21 loss to Hays, when the Indians intercepted Tempel with just 1:10 left in the game and the score tied at 21. Hays would score the winning TD with 31 seconds to go, and the Buffs didn’t have enough time on the clock to march down the field for a potential tying score. A rebound 37-14 win at home over Liberal was then followed by a strong effort on the road in a 34-13 victory at Wichita East. A hard-fought 31-26 victory over Maize in the Class 6A district opener left the Buffs at 5-2. But with the new district in place and adding perennial power Hutchinson into the mix, the Buffs faced the daunting task of heading east to play the Salthawks in their backyard. It wasn’t pretty. A 56-14 shellacking by the seven-time state championship program left the Buffs wounded and injured. Preparing for the regualrseason finale with rival Dodge City, playing for the coveted Hatchet and the run-
ner-up district spot for postseason play, kept the Buffs motivated. But the Buffs came unglued in the most important game of the season. Six turnovers, including one of the strangest players Hill has ever seen, doomed the Buffs to a 24-20 loss to the Red Demons. And because of the marginal point tiebreaker system, the Red Demons earned the runnerup spot, keeping the Buffs home from the postseason for the first time in Hill’s three years. It’s a taste in his mouth Hill would like to avoid. “It’s a tough pill to swallow when they (Dodge) scored 14 points off of seven yards of offense,” Hill said. “We just didn’t do the things necessary to win that game. I can’t remember a game where we did so many things wrong to lose, and yet had chances to win the game.” It will be difficult to forget the botched center snap by three-year veteran senior Mitch Moore in the third quarter. By all accounts, Moore’s snap back to Tempel in the shotgun formation hit his rear and went up in the air and about 5 yards to the right. Dodge’s Immanuel Galloway plucked the ball in mid-air and raced 78 yards untouched for what would prove to be the winning points. In fact, in the finale with Dodge, Moore was thrust into playing on the defensive line, something he had not done in his three-year varsity career. “He stepped up big for us, did what we asked of him,” Hill said. “That’s all you can ask of a young man and I couldn’t be more proud of a player.” A look at some of the
stats explains just how much of an up-and-down season it was for the Buffs. In their five wins, they had a plus-1 in the turnover department; in their four losses they were a minus10. Penalties proved to be an issue, too, with the Buffs being flagged 68 times compared to 44 for their opponents. They fumbled the ball 28 times, losing 19 of them. And while Tempel accounted for 23 touchdowns with his legs and arm, he also was guilty of 18 turnovers (nine lost fumbles and nine interceptions). All part of the painful growing process. Still, he had one of the most productive seasons in school history with his 2,477 total yards. When discussing his junior quarterback’s season, Hill, himself a former high school and college quarterback, said Tempel grew as the season progressed. Simply, the good far outweighed the not-so-good. “First, he was able to gain varsity experience and then he started to grow up from game to game,” Hill said of Tempel, who finished the season with 13 TD passes and 10 rushing TDs. He accounted for 1,531 passing yards and 946 yards rushing. “He got better and had a better understanding of what a quarterback needs to do. We had to learn how to make him more productive once people knew how he could impact the game.” While the Buffs do lose tight end Taylor Foley and wideout Bo Banner, they return Dusty Tempel and Hunter Delgado to the receiving slots. Finch, Akil Love and Jared Koster all saw action at running back and they also return. Unlike this past season, next year
the Buffs will be looking at re-loading on the line. “We seem to have one year where we’re replacing the skill positions and the next we’re replacing the line positions,” Hill said. “We got a lot of kids some experience, so it will be interesting to see where we are when we lineup next year.” Three years into his rebuilding program, Hill sees much progress from the ground floor up for the Buffs. His junior varsity went 5-2 and the freshmen were 6-2. Both middle schools produced strong seasons. “I’m very pleased with where things are,” Hill said. “It’s taken some time, but I think we’re changing the culture, changing the attitude. The coaches we have in place are doing a great job. The middle school teams are running the playbook that we want, but it has taken more time. “Anytime you’re trying to build a program, I think it takes at least four years, and it’s been that way here. We’re working with the third through 12th grade now and it’s a high priority for us. A lot of factors are involved, and change never happens as quickly as you’d like.” When he looks back on the just completed season, Hill said he saw a group that accomplished perhaps more than most people might have expected. “I think we got every ounce of potential out of these kids,” Hill said. “I said all along, that the further you go into building the program, the steps to move up are steeper. We’re attempting to push this forward. That’s what the future holds and I think there’s a lot of positives that we have in place.”
Heartbreaker: Trojans drop a 2-point game Continued from Page D1
The 7-2 Plainsmen reached the red zone twice — getting to the end zone once on a 2-yard sneak midway through the first quarter by Key Keller, following a shanked punt off the foot of the Trojans’ Angel Molina. They fumbled the ball away on their other venture into scoring territory late in the second quarter. Oakley got its second touchdown at the 4:24 mark of the first on a 35-yard burst off left tackle by Oscar Macias. The Plainsmen, who had missed their first 2-point conversion, were successful on their second, when quarterback Darius Herl found Ethan Plummer on a swing pass just outside the end zone, with Plummer diving in for the PAT. Little did anyone guess that the conversion pass would eventually be the difference in the game. After that, the Plainsmen didn’t see much of the Stanton County end of the field. But then, the Trojans couldn’t find their big-play offense for most of the night.
The only exception came when Bret Gum raced 55 yards to put the Trojans on the board on the first play of the second quarter. But the Trojans misfired on the 2-point conversion, leaving them down 14-6. That’s the way it was at halftime when the Plainsmen fumbled deep in Stanton County territory with 1:37 left before the break. Whatever Stanton County coach Bret Kendrick said to his team at halftime, it must have worked, as the Trojans came out and shut down the Plainsmen offense. Oakley managed just 31 yards on the ground in the final two quarters and completed one pass for 43 yards, but had a drive stalled late in the third quarter. Stanton County, meanwhile, had its opportunities but couldn’t cash in. The biggest missed scoring chance came on the Trojans’ first possession of the third, when they drove 59 yards to the Plainsmen’s 3-yard line but then saw Kendrick intercepted by Eric Rucker on a fourth-and-goal play. “We just couldn’t get the ball in when we were
down there to score,” coach Kendrick said. “We just shot ourselves in the foot too many times. We had penalties, we had people running wrong plays and it just cost us. Oakley’s got a good, gutsy team and their kids played hard.” Stanton County scored its final TD with 6:17 left in the game, when Molina tumbled his way in from the 5-yard line, but their second 2-point conversion attempt to tie the game also failed when Kendrick’s swing pass fell incomplete. The Trojans would have the ball two more times in the closing minutes, but couldn’t come up with the big play either time. The last time was on a fourthand-four at the Oakley 45 and another pass fell incomplete with just 19 seconds on the clock. Oakley’s Rath said his team’s defense had to play to its strength because his offense sputtered for most of the night. “We were able to control things up front, it’s about the line play tonight,” Rath said. “We got into the right alignments against them and managed to keep them from breaking
the big play, except for the one. These kids got stung early in the season, but they keep fighting. We’ll get back to work and get ready for the next one.” Stanton County finishes its season at 8-2, while Oakley heads on to face unbeaten LaCrosse in the sectionals on Friday.

Peyton Manning tries to stay perfect vs. Cincinnati CINCINNATI (AP) — Bengals coach Marvin Lewis spent the last day of his bye weekend watching NFL games on television and getting a read on how the rest of the league is doing. His conclusion? “You have to play good at quarterback in order to win,� Lewis said. “That stands out if you look at each and every game. You have to take care of the ball on offense and play efficient at quarterback. Turnovers beat you and if you don’t make plays from that position, you have a hard time.� It wasn’t so much an epiphany as a foretelling. On Sunday, the Bengals (3-4) bring a struggling quarterback — Andy Dalton and his interception streak — into a pivotal game against one of the NFL’s best of all time. Peyton Manning is back to playing at a bestever level, leading the Denver Broncos (4-3) to the top of the AFC West. Manning has passed for at least 300 yards and three touchdowns in each of his last four games, the first to do so since Steve Young in 1998. He’s thrown for at least 300 yards in his last five games, matching his personal best from 2009 with Indianapolis. The Colts cut their ties with Manning after a

Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (88), celebrates a touchdown with quarterback Peyton Manning. Broncos head to Cincinnati, one of seven teams that have never beaten each other. neck injury raised doubts about whether he could ever play at the same level again. No questioning that now. “It’s hard to say that he’s not,� said Bengals cornerback Leon Hall, who watched the Broncos beat the Saints 34-14 on Sunday night. “He’s been doing well, putting up a lot of good numbers, spreading the ball around
to receivers and tight ends, I don’t know how the numbers compare, but as far as how he looks on film, I think he’s pretty damn close.� The Broncos have scored 37, 21, 35 and 34 points in their last four games, getting a little more comfortable with Manning’s way of directing things at the line of scrimmage. And Manning
has been rounding into form, too, after recovering from his neck problems. “Well, certainly, it was a lot of unknown before this season,� Manning said. “I think there still is. This is a new team and nobody knew how this team would form chemistry-wise. I didn’t know what my situation would be. I mentioned early on that I’m feeling my way
out. We’re finding out our identity. I think we are still doing that.� Everyone in Cincinnati knows his identity against the Bengals: Perfect. Manning is 7-0 career against the Bengals with 17 touchdowns, only three interceptions and a 107 passer rating. He’s thrown for at least three touchdowns in four of the seven games, including a four-TD game in 2006. Cincinnati is one of seven teams that have never beaten him. The Bengals are getting him at close to his best again. “I think what he’s done has been remarkable,� coach John Fox said. “He’s continuing to rehab every day. I don’t know that he’s all the way back, but he’s well on his way for sure.� The Bengals have concerns about their own quarterback. Dalton has thrown an interception in every game this season and in eight straight overall, including a playoff loss to the Texans last season. He’s avoided sacks by getting rid of the ball quickly, but the coaches have stresses holding onto it a bit longer to extend plays. And, three days after watching other NFL quarterbacks on television, Lewis challenged his own to become more of a leader, along with middle
linebacker Rey Maualuga. As a rookie last season, Dalton let the veterans and the coaches handle issues with the offense. Lewis wants his quarterback to start asserting himself. “We want Andy to take control of the football team,� Lewis said. “That’s the thing. A year ago everything was new, and now he has an understanding of everything he needs to do. Now, let’s go do it and let’s be great at it and let’s get the other guys to do their jobs even better.� It was an out-of-character comment for Lewis, who prefers to handle things quietly and internally. It underscored the sense that the Bengals’ season is in jeopardy at the midpoint. They’ve lost three in a row and are 13 against the rest of the AFC North. “What it comes down to is me being and hopefully doing enough that it is going to satisfy him,� Dalton said. “I don’t have any doubt that I have everything that will please him in whatever was said. He’s expecting a lot out of me and Rey and a lot of the leaders on this team. It wouldn’t have been said if we weren’t where we were. “Maybe this is the fire that we need.�
Disheveled Chiefs have a week to regroup after yet another loss KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs have played nearly 500 minutes over eight games and overtime, and so far they have yet to hold the lead in regulation for a single second. That’s the startling reality for a team picked by some to win the AFC West this season. There have been devastating injuries to key players, including concussions to both quarterbacks. Their top wide receiver held out during training camp, their star running back has had games where he’s only received five carries, and a defensiveminded head coach can’t seem to get a defense full of first-round draft picks to stop much of anything. The result is a 1-7 record that has led to fans paying for banners to fly over the stadium pleading for the general manager to be fired, and an organized protest on tap for an upcoming home game in which fans are planning to come dressed in black. “It’s tough, because I don’t think I’ve ever have been part of this exact scenario,� said Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel, who got his first NFL job with the New York Giants in 1981. Crennel compared this year’s version of the Chiefs to the 1983 Giants, who went 3-13. “That was no fun, because we were doing some of the things that
cause you to lose,� Crennel said on a conference call Friday. “This team is doing some of those things.� The most obvious one is turning over the ball. Matt Cassel threw his 11th interception on Thursday night, which was returned 59 yards for a touchdown by former teammate Demorrio Williams, and the Chiefs also lost three more fumbles. One of those was a strip-sack in the end zone that resulted in another San Diego touchdown. All told, the Chiefs have turned it over 29 times this season. “What we have to do is eliminate the situations we put ourselves in where negative plays occur,� Crennel said, “and we have to do a better job of protecting ourselves when we’re in bad situations to prevent those negative plays. On the fumble in the end zone, we didn’t block a guy, and the guy runs free and he’s able to hit us and make the play. If we block the guy, maybe we don’t fumble the ball, we get the pass off and we’re still in the game.� Or at least, the offense still has the ball. Even that’s no certainty of success, though. Kansas City had touchdowns on just two of its previous 43 offensive series before a late score against the Chargers.
Associated Press
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel is brought down by San Diego Chargers inside linebacker Donald Butler, below, in the Chiefs’ loss to the Chargers on Thursday night. The Chiefs’ only win came on a game-ending field goal by Ryan Succop in overtime. Making matters worse, the Chiefs sustained another round of injuries to key players on offense Thursday night. Running back Jamaal Charles left with a neck injury, though Crennel believes he’ll be OK, while rookie guard Jeff Allen sustained a blow to his head. That pressed into service Russ Hochstein, who was signed just a few
weeks ago. Crennel is also unsure what his quarterback situation will be like when the Chiefs return to the field for another prime-time game a week from Monday night at Pittsburgh. Cassel lost his job during the bye week, but got it back when Brady Quinn sustained a head injury against Oakland. Crennel had said Quinn would be the starter whenever he’s cleared — he hasn’t been yet — but seemed to backtrack a bit Friday.
“When he gets cleared, we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it,� Crennel said. “Any time a player gets injured, you have to look at the injury and see what’s going to happen with it.� Defensive end Glenn Dorsey, who hadn’t played in weeks, only made it a few series against San Diego before hurting his calf again. Nickel back Javier Arenas also left with a head injury. Even the few bright spots for the Chiefs
this season turned sour Thursday night. Succop had made 14 consecutive field goals before banking a 39-yard try off the upright in the third quarter. It was the start of a cascade of problems that turned a relatively close game — the Chiefs still trailed 10-6 at the start of the fourth quarter — into another blowout. “We’re working to fight our way out of this situation we’re in,� Crennel said. The challenge now is to figure out a way to do it. Crennel has already swapped quarterbacks. Offensive coordinator Brian Daboll has run the gamut from throwing just about every down to running every down. The defense has tried every exotic blitz in Crennel’s arsenal yet failed to come up with the sort of gamechanging plays that San Diego used to score two defensive touchdowns and put the game away. Perhaps the most apropos image from the game was a screen shot from the NFL Network that showed Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, his right hand on his head, with about two minutes remaining and an expression on his face that looked as if he had a severe case of indigestion. Everyone in the organization was probably feeling the same way.
Facing opposition, NYC Marathon is canceled following storm damage NEW YORK (AP) — Under growing pressure with thousands still shivering from Sandy, the New York City Marathon was canceled Friday by Mayor Michael Bloomberg after mounting criticism that this was not the time for a race. With the death toll in the city at 41 and power not yet fully restored, many New Yorkers had recoiled at the prospect of police officers being assigned to protect a marathon, storm victims being evicted from hotels to make way for runners, and big generators humming along at the finishline tents in Central Park. Around 47,500 runners — 30,000 of them from outside New York — had been expected to take part in the 26.2-mile event Sunday, with more than 1 million spectators usually lining the route. The world’s largest marathon had been scheduled to start in Staten Island, one of the storm’s hardest-hit places. Bloomberg had pressed ahead with plans to run the marathon on schedule, but opposition intensified quickly Friday afternoon from the city comptroller, the Manhattan borough
president and sanitation workers unhappy that they had volunteered to help storm victims but were assigned to the race instead. Finally, about three hours later, the mayor relented. “We would not want a cloud to hang over the race or its participants, and so we have decided to cancel it,� Bloomberg said in a statement. “We cannot allow a controversy over an athletic event — even one as meaningful as this — to distract attention away from all the critically important work that is being done to recover from the storm and get our city back on track.� City and race officials considered several alternatives: a modified course, postponement or an elite runners-only race. But they decided cancellation was the best option. Organizers will donate various items that had been brought in for the race to relief efforts, from food, blankets and portable toilets to generators already set up on Staten Island. The cancellation means there won’t be another
NYC Marathon until next year. “I understand why it cannot be held under the current circumstances,� Meb Keflezighi, the 2009 men’s champion and a former Olympic silver medalist, said in a statement. “Any inconveniences the cancellation causes me or the thousands of runners who trained and traveled for this race pales in comparison to the challenges faced by people in NYC and its vicinity.� Bloomberg called the marathon an “integral part of New York City’s life for 40 years� and “an event tens of thousands of New Yorkers participate in and millions more watch.� He still insisted that holding the race would not have required diverting resources from the recovery effort. But he said he understood the level of friction. “It is clear it that it has become the source of controversy and division,� Bloomberg said. “The marathon has always brought our city together and inspired us with stories of courage and determination. Bloomberg’s decision
came just a day after he appealed to the grit and resiliency of New Yorkers, saying, “This city is a city where we have to go on.� The nationally televised race winds through the city’s five boroughs and has been held annually since 1970, including 2001, about two months after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Mary Wittenberg, president of the organizing New York Road Runners, said it was the right move to cancel. “This is what we need to do and the right thing at this time,� she said. “It’s been a week where we worked very closely with the mayor’s office and felt very strongly, both of us together, that on Tuesday it seemed that the best thing for New York on Sunday would be moving forward. As the days went on, just today it got to the point where that was no longer the case.� Wittenberg said she sensed an animosity toward runners in general as the week wore on. About 10,000 runners were expected to drop out after the storm arrived, she said. Howard Wolfson, depu-
ty mayor for government affairs and communications, said the mayor’s office consulted with officials in all levels of government during the week. There was no one tipping point, he said. Wolfson acknowledged that local businesses won’t take in all of the $340 million the marathon was estimated to attract. But because many runners had already traveled to the city, money will still pour in. Wittenberg said the relief fund announced Thursday had already raised $2.6 million. Patrick Lynch, president of the Patrolmen’s
Benevolent Association — the police department’s largest union — called the decision to cancel the marathon “a wise choice.� ING, the financial company that is the title sponsor of the marathon, said it supported the decision to cancel. The firm’s charitable giving arm has made a $500,000 contribution to help with relief and recovery efforts, and is matching employee donations. As of now, NYRR is sticking to its policy of no refunds for the runners, but will guarantee entry to next year’s marathon. But Wittenberg said that stance will be reviewed.

No. 2 K-State looking to keep rolling vs. Oklahoma State By ARNE GREEN
Special to The Telegram
MANHATTAN — Amid all the talk of BCS standings and national championship games, the No. 2-ranked Kansas State Wildcats have more immediate concerns. They can thank Oklahoma State for keeping it real. Not only do the Cowboys, who visit Snyder Family Stadium at 7 p.m., stand between No. 2-ranked K-State and continued perfection. Quarterback Collin Klein also reminded the Wildcats about some unfinished business. “Collin stated that nobody on our team has beaten Oklahoma State that’s here right now,� fullback Braden Wilson said. “That’s a big deal. “Especially after the heartbreaker last year. This is a game that we really want.� It’s also a game the Wildcats, 8-0 overall and 5-0 in the Big 12, need in order to maintain their one-game conference lead. Defending champion OSU (5-2, 3-1) is the only other team that currently controls its own destiny in the league race. More than avenging last year’s disappointing 52-45 loss to the then-No. 3 Cowboys, staying on track for its first league championship in nine years is a driving force for K-State.
Associated Press
Second-ranked Kansas State looks to keep its one-game lead in the Big 12 standings against defending champion Oklahoma State, at 7 p.m. tonight at Snyder Family Stadium. “That’s something that’s very important to us, but in this conference there is no easy game,� sophomore wide receiver Curry Sexton said. “We’ve still got four huge tests left. “I think that’s what’s so special about this team, that you don’t have a bunch of guys talking about that. You don’t really hear that a whole lot in our locker room because we realize that that we have a long ways to go.� Even Klein’s reminder that Oklahoma State has
won the last three meetings between the teams was a momentary distraction. “It’s something that took everyone aback because obviously you want to beat every team,� Sexton said. “I think that just kind of adds maybe a little bit of extra incentive to this week. “(But) I don’t know if people really care about that or think about that. It’s just another game we’ve got to go out and perform our best and try to get a win.�
A year ago it was Oklahoma State that was in K-State’s position with an identical record and also front and center in the national championship conversation. “There’s some similarities to where they are now compared to where we were,� Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said. “They’re a really good football team and they deserve to be ranked where they are and we’ll have to do the best we can to hang around until the fourth quarter.�
That’s what the Wildcats did a year ago, briefly leading by a point in the fourth period but unable to slow a potent OSU attack down the stretch. Even so, they were five yards away from tying the game when it ended on an incomplete pass into the end zone. Disappointing as that loss was, it was a vast improvement over the previous week when the Wildcats were blown out at home by Oklahoma for their first loss of 2011. “I think coming off the Oklahoma loss the week before that we were maybe a little unsure of where we stood,� Sexton said. “I think being able to go down there and play the No. 3 team in the country to the wire like that showed us that we were capable of playing with anyone on any given night. “Even though we did lose, I think that kind of added to our confidence a little bit and showed us that we were one of the best teams in the country, and that’s helped us with our confidence and how it’s gone since then.� Oklahoma State comes in with a pair of losses — an early blowout at Arizona and a 41-36 heartbreaker to then-No. 12 Texas in the league opener — but has been impressive the last three weeks. The Cowboys have not allowed more than 14 points since the Texas game.
“They’ve been good against the run and they’ve been good against the pass,� K-State coach Bill Snyder said of the Cowboys, who rank 42nd nationally in total defense and 32nd against the run. “The thing about Oklahoma State is they’re a tremendously balanced football team. “They’re up in the rankings in our conference in defense. Their specialist (kicker/punter Quinn Sharp) is as good as you can get. They rank high nationally in all aspects on offense.� Though injuries knocked out both of their quarterbacks at different times, the Cowboys rank No. 1 nationally in total offense with 586 yards a game and sixth in passing with a 347-yard average. True freshman Wes Lunt, who started the first three games, came back to replace redshirt freshman J.W. Walsh last week in a 36-14 victory over TCU, throwing for 324 yards and a touchdown. OSU also has the league’s rushing leader in Joseph Randle, who averages 127.3 yards a game with nine touchdowns. K-State’s John Hubert is second at 90.2 yards and Klein fourth with a 79.2yard average. The Cowboys’ leading receiver is Josh Stewart with 48 catches for 574 yards and three touchdowns.
Under D-coordinator Campo, Kansas starting to play defense again LAWRENCE (AP) — Dave Campo has a national championship, three Super Bowl rings and 23 years of NFL experience. So what’s he doing at Kansas? Taking on the challenge of his life. A year ago, the Jayhawks were ranked 120th nationally in total defense. Eight games into this season, Campo’s defense has climbed to 81st and is ranked 58th against the pass. “As bad as it is being the head coach, I think the worst job in the Big 12 is to be a defensive coordinator,� said Kansas coach Charlie Weis, who made hiring the former Cowboys coach one of his priorities when he took over a program that had won just twice last year. “I mean, you should just sign up for gray hair, you know, because it’s a tough job.� Perhaps the biggest
improvement under Campo has been in the red zone. While the Jayhawks are still just 1-7, and 0-5 in the Big 12 heading into today’s game at Baylor, they’ve been in a handful of games into the fourth quarter due in large part to a defense that is only allowing teams to score 69 percent of the time. That statistic is a conference best and ranks 13th in the nation. Kansas held Oklahoma State, the No. 1 offense at the time, to 20 points. Last Saturday, the plucky Jayhawks held Texas to 21 points — less than half of its season average. “We’ve improved in a lot of areas on this defense and I think we have a lot more we can improve on,� said linebacker Toben Opurum, one of the team’s top defenders. This is the third coaching staff for Opurum and the rest of the Jayhawks’ seniors. And judging by the
fact the defense already has come up with nine interceptions and forced eight fumbles, it appears to be the most effective. “His knowledge of the game has earned respect from the players,� Weis said of Campo, with whom he shares a long history dating to their days in the NFL. “He is a good teacher.� Campo said he realizes how much Kansas has struggled in the past, and he also knows that he’s basically starting from scratch after working with polished professional players. But he’s also keen on tackling the challenge of making the Jayhawks relevant again. “I only know how to do it one way: Make sure we’re grinding on our guys and making sure that they know we have to be disciplined and do the things we are doing,� he said, “and not throwing in the towel and saying, ‘We’re not good
enough.�’ The next step is for those improved defensive numbers to add up to victories. “I don’t know that our guys really understand what it takes to win right now, and that’s what we’re pushing and that’s what’s got to happen,� Campo said. “It is still a process.� It sounds easy enough to change the atmosphere, but competing in the Big 12 comes with challenges, even for someone with Campo’s resume. “This league is a unique league from the standpoint of the firepower offensively,� he said, “and I think that’s an area where we have to get good athletes and better athletes as we go and put the best athletes on the field.� With wide-open offenses, four ranked teams and Heisman Trophy candidates in Kansas State’s Collin Klein and West Virginia’s Geno Smith, there are no breaks for a

defensive coordinator. “He really loves the game of football and I can’t say that he has enjoyed going against these defenses every week,� Weis said, “but it really challenges you to try to take your players and what they can do and try to figure out the best way to minimize what they do.� Since Campo arrived in January, players appear to
have bought into his style. Weis lets him completely control the defense, and so far the system has been working — or at least, has Kansas moving in the right direction. “You’ve got to do whatever it takes to win whether it’s drawing up some new things on the board or calling different plays, you’ve got to be willing to do whatever,� he said.

Barber shop aims for blend of classic, modern style By DEREK THOMPSON
dthompson@gctelegram.com
The barbers at Exclusive Barber Shop and Spa know that men, too, need to be groomed, and want to bring a classic feel with a modern twist to their new business at 218 N. Main St. The shop is owned by Joshua Hinde, Miguel Saldana and Chad Yardley, and combines the trio’s various expertise in the hair care industry. Isaac Esquivel also works at the new shop, which opened Thursday. For example, Saldana offers hair designs, using a person’s hair as a sort of canvas to create a variety of images, ranging from faces to words and more. “That’s Miguel’s specialty,” Hinde, 35, said. “He can draw your face in your hair.” The barbers have worked together at City Cuts, and when the Main Street location that formerly housed Illusions Hair Salon became available, they decided to jump on the opportunity to open

EPA: Hyundai, Kia overstated gas mileage DETROIT (AP) — Hyundai and Kia overstated the gas mileage on 900,000 vehicles in the past three years, a discovery that could result in sanctions from the U.S. government and millions of dollars in payments to car owners. The inflated figures were uncovered by the Environmental Protection Agency in an audit of gas mileage tests by the two South Korean automakers. The agency, which monitors fuel economy, said Friday that it’s investigating how the companies came up with their numbers. The EPA found inflated gas mileage on 13 models from the 2011 through 2013 model years, including Hyundai’s Elantra and Tucson, and Kia’s Sportage and Rio. The window sticker mileages were overstated on about one-third of the cars sold by the companies during the three years. As a result, Hyundai and Kia will have to knock one or two miles per gallon off the vehicle stickers of most of their models. Some models will lose three or four miles per gallon. The Kia Soul, a funky-looking boxy small SUV, will lose six from its highway figure, lowering it from 34 mpg to 28 mpg. “Consumers rely on the window sticker to help make informed choices about the cars they buy,” said Gina McCarthy, assistant administrator of the EPA’s air-quality office. “EPA’s investigation will help protect consumers and ensure a level playing field among automakers.” The agency would not comment when asked if the companies will be fined or if a criminal investigation is under way. Hyundai and Kia are owned by the same company and share factories and research, but they sell different vehicles and market them separately. The reduced mileage figures are a black eye for the companies, which have seen explosive sales growth in the U.S. partly because of advertising campaigns
that touted gas mileage. Hyundai even poked fun at competitors who promoted special high-mileage versions of their cars, claiming that its cars had high mileage across the model lineup. The EPA said it’s the first case in which erroneous test results were uncovered in such a large number of vehicles from the same manufacturer. Only two similar cases have been discovered since 2000, and those involved single models. Company executives apologized for the discrepancies and promised to compensate customers because they’re using more gasoline than expected. The executives said the higher mileage figures were unintentional, caused by errors in following EPA mileage test procedures. The customer payments are likely to cost Hyundai and Kia millions of dollars. The EPA testing requirements are specific enough
so the companies should have been able to come up with accurate results, said Naeim Henein, director of the Center for Automotive Research at Wayne State University in Detroit. “This might have been a mistake or intentional,” he said. “Nobody knows until the investigation.” An examination of test results should show the EPA if the figures were raised intentionally or by errors, Henein said. Intentionally boosting mileage figures is a crime, he said. Intentional or not, overstating the mileage could cut into Hyundai and Kia sales, especially with people who are deciding between brands and ready to buy soon, said Jesse Toprak, vice president of market intelligence for the TrueCar.com auto pricing website. But in the long run, the brands still offer good value for the money, even with lower mileage numbers, he said.

the area. “You got your business cuts to your younger kids who want the new trendy
styles, from classic taper cuts, shaves, hair designs,” Hinde said. Hoping to set themselves apart from other salons and barber shops in town, Exclusive Barber Shop also offers spa services, such as manicures and pedicures for men, and waxing. “We thought that we would throw another aspect into the barber shop so that we could offer gentlemen’s manicures and pedicures,” Hinde said. Hinde knows that some men may have reservations about getting a manicure or pedicure. That’s why they will have two female nail technicians who will work in a back room, outside of the view of other customers, to provide a bit of privacy. “Men need to be groomed, as well. From my understanding, it’s more comfortable for them to be in a secluded area rather than out in the open. Working in a salon previously, guys would come in and want it done, but they would be right there out in the open,” he said.
“When you’re sitting in a board room or you’re at a business meeting and you’re just sitting at a table, everybody notices your hair and your hands. If you’ve got hangnails and dirty nails, that sticks out like a sore thumb,” Hinde said. The spa services aren’t relegated to the businessman, either, Saldana, 27, said, adding that “the new era of kids coming up want to get their eyebrows done, so we’re also going to offer that, and waxing.” The barbers have a simple goal with Exclusive Barber Shop. “We’re trying to bring back the old, traditional barbering ... with our own modern feel to it,” Hinde said, adding that they all owe a lot of credit to their wives. “We don’t see that around here.” Exclusive Barber Shop and Spa will be open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday.
