City Commission tables casino resolution

Junction City Commissioners tabled a resolution on Tuesday that would support the efforts to bring a casino to the area. City Manager Gerald Smith said another conversation needs to be had, but the resolution will be discussed again Dec. 3. We have another party that wed like to have a conversation with, City Manager Gerald Smith told commissioners. State Rep. Allan Rothlisberg attended the meeting. During public comments, Rothlisberg reminded people to make known their opinions on a casino. I started a folder of people who are for or against the casino, he said. I just want to put that out there that whether you are for or against it, your voice will be heard in Topeka.

Pet code changes on hold

city.beat@thedailyunion.net
Twice the Junction City Commission attempted to approve an updated animal code Tuesday night. Twice it reached an impasse with 2-2 votes. Eventually, the commission decided to table the new code, which includes several key changes to the citys current ordinance. One of those changes a limit on the number of pets per property turned out to be the dividing line J IM between commissioners. S ANDs Under the proposed code, no person would be allowed to possess on a property more than five of each of the licensable animals specified in the code. Animals required to be licensed are dogs, cats, domesticated rodents, ferrets and hedgehogs. Each property would be allowed to have up to 10 of those animals. Vice Mayor Pat Landes wasnt present Tuesday night due to a personal reason. He would have been a fifth vote to break the ties. Commissioners Mick McCallister and Mike Ryan supported approving the ordinance without the pet limit, even though both said they didnt know why someone would want more than that number. I dont know what the right number is, McCallister said. It doesnt make much sense to me. I cant fathom someone having six, eight, 10 animals in a household. Still, McCallister said he was opposed to city government imposing a limit. The state limit is 19 animals per property. There also doesnt appear to be a demonstrated need C EcIl for a limit in Junction City, A sKA McCallister said. McCallister motioned to approve the ordinance and exclude the limit. Ryan seconded and voted in favor of that motion. However, Mayor Cecil Aska and Commissioner Jim Sands were opposed to removing the limit. Aska and Sands both felt the document Please see Pet, 9A

Hes offered a job thats outside of teaching for more money, so he struggles with that, too, JCHS play Director Brian Hagemeister said while taking a break from supervising. Overall its a breeze through his first year of teaching. Auditions for the production began after labor day and work began the following week. Joshua, a JCHS senior enjoys working with the cast. We have a great cast with a lot of talented people and a lot of people returning next year, he said. For Joshua, theatre provides him an opportunity to step into the shoes of another character.

recognized Howard Hahn, assistant professor in the department of landscape architecture/regional and community planning, as one of the 30 Most Admired Educators for 2014. Hahn joined Kansas State University in 2008 after working more than 20 years at design firms. He was recognized for his dedication to understanding what his students will be asked to do as professionals, whether its a computer program or evidencebased design. Our consistently high rankings over the years have boosted our ability to recruit students from across the country as they realize the incredible value of the accredited professional programs in architecture, landscape architecture, interior architecture and product design, and regional and community planning offered at Kansas State University, de Noble said. De Noble takes particular pride in both the architecture and landscape architecture graduate programs being ranked No. 2 ranking for cross-disciplinary teamwork, second only to Harvard. Revitalization and expansion is planned for the colleges home, Seaton Complex, to meet the needs of the growing class sizes and accommodate student and faculty collaborations across disciplines. The revitalized complex will feature new studios, a 300-seat auditorium, an outdoor amphitheater and more energy efficiency. The project has received a $4 million lead gift from the Regnier family foundation. In the interconnected world in which we live, cross-disciplinary teamwork is critical to addressing our most pressing challenges, de Noble said. What were trying to do with our new buildings design is capitalize on the interdisciplinary nature of our college.

Professionals rank College of Architecture among best

MANHATTAN With three design programs ranked among the nations Top 10, Kansas State Universitys College of Architecture, Planning & Design is among the nations highest ranked. Kansas State Universitys graduate program in landscape architecture is No. 2 in the nation, second only to Harvard, according to the latest rankings from DesignIntelligence. The magazine, whose rankings are considered the primary source for comparison in the industry, also named the architecture graduate program No. 8 and the interior architecture and product design graduate program No. 7 in the interior design category. Among Midwest schools, Kansas State Universitys graduate programs rank No. 1 in landscape architecture, No. 1 in interior design and No. 2 in architecture. The rankings are derived from asking firms to consider their hiring experiences in the past five years and to name the schools whose graduates have been best-prepared for the profession. This years survey involved 693 architecture practices and corporations, 303 landscape architecture firms and 152 interior architecture firms. The state and the region benefit from the caliber of design professionals we produce at Kansas State University, said President Kirk Schulz. To be not only the best in the state, but also in the ranks of Yale, MIT and Cornell, shows that becoming a Top 50 public research university by 2025 is within our reach. The College of Architecture, Planning & Designs programs have been very high in the rankings year after year, and once again we are seeing the incredible national reputation of our programs, said Tim de Noble, dean.

Senate approves bill to name CBOC after Seitz

WASHINGTON, D.C. Tuesday, the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs passed legislation offered by U.S. Senators Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) and Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) to honor WWII Veteran and Kansan Lieutenant General Richard Dick Seitz. The legislation would designate the Junction City Community-Based Outpatient Clinic as the Lieutenant General Richard J. Seitz Community-Based Outpatient Clinic, and was included in the Veterans Programs Improvements Act, S. 1581, the committees omnibus bill. Our country lost a great man, a dedicated soldier, and an American hero when Lieutenant General Dick Seitz passed away, Sen. Moran said. Dick was a mentor, a friend, and someone I hold in extremely high regard. As a native Kansan who settled in Junction City following his military retirement, he never retired from serving. Im grateful for his commitment to serving Junction City and am delighted to honor him by working to name the community-based outpatient clinic in his honor. General Dick Seitz is an American icon. He was at Anzio, the Black Forest, and the Battle of the Bulge. When Hitlers troops almost broke out, it was Dick Seitzs paratroopers that stopped them, said Sen. Roberts. Over his lifetime, General Seitzs honor and valor were only out shown by his commitment to his fellow men and women who bravely serve in our nations armed forces. I can think of no more fitting tribute to this great American hero than naming a facility dedicated to the service of his fellow soldiers in his honor. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs facility provides primary care, behavioral health, personal care, laboratory, prescriptions and psychiatry services for veterans. Seitz was a WWII Veteran who successfully led his battalion through the Battle of the Bulge. During his Army career, which included nearly 37 years of active duty, Seitz received numerous awards including the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars and the Purple Heart. Following his military retirement, Lt. Gen. Seitz settled in Junction City, where he frequently visited Fort Riley to greet deploying and returning units from Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as mentor young and noncommissioned officers. He was also involved with the Coronado Council of the Boy Scouts, served on the Board of the Eisenhower Presidential Library, and was named an Outstanding Citizen of Kansas. In 2012, the General Richard J. Seitz Elementary School at Fort Riley was named in his honor.

The Great American Smokeout

Today, the third Thursday of November, is The Great American Smokeout, a day the American Cancer Society uses to encourage smokers to quit. Some of the health concerns of smoking, such as cancer and heart disease, are well known while others are not. Surgeons are particularly aware of the effects of smoking. Smokers have a much higher risk of complications following surgery than non-smokers. Studies have shown that smokers have a higher rate of heart attacks, strokes, and infections following surgery than non- smokers. According to Dr. Allan Holiday, orthopaedic surgeon at GCH, common surgeries where there is a lot of tissue healing involved, such as those on rotator cuffs, have a 95% failure rate when the patient is smoking. Many surgeries wont be scheduled until the smoker has quit or at least greatly reduced their habit. Smoking is also tied to many pregnancyrelated issues. According to the CDC, smoking makes it harder to get pregnant, makes it more likely that there is a miscarriage, have birth defects, be born too early, and have low birth weight.

Young people say online slurs common but not OK

Headlines from around the world

NEWS TO KNOW

WASHINGTON Most young people say they arent very offended about the slurs and mean-spirited videos mocking overweight people or gays or blacks that they encounter on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. You cant let those things get to you, says 15-year-old Vito Calli, an immigrant from Argentina whose online friends tease him with jokes about Hispanics. In a notable shift, however, young people are coming around to the idea that its wrong to contribute to this ugly side of the Internet free-for-all, a poll released Wednesday shows. A bare majority, 52 percent, of people ages 14 to 24 now say its never OK to engage in discriminatory language, even when its just among friends who dont really mean it. Thats up from 44 percent in 2011. A stronger majority nearly 6 in 10 say using slurs is wrong, even if you say youre just kidding. Only about half were so disapproving two years ago. Meanwhile, the share of young people who come across slurs online has held steady, according to the new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and MTV. More than half of young users of YouTube, Facebook and gaming communities such as Xbox Live and Steam say they sometimes or often encounter biased messages. Teens and twentysomethings say these slurs and taunting images they see online are mostly meant as jokes. The majority say they arent very offended when they see foul words online for women or gays or even the N-word for

African-Americans. Sometimes I make a couple of jokes that might be offensive to someone and I dont even realize it, said Calli of Reading, Pa. You forget theres a person behind the computer with actual feelings. Because a friend chastised him, the high school sophomore has tried to stop labeling anything uncool either gay or retarded. Hes finding that a difficult habit to break. Young people say derogatory stuff is most often posted online or texted on cellphones to be funny or cool. Less than a third believe a major reason people use slurs is because they actually harbor hateful feelings toward the groups they are maligning. Most do see hateful thoughts as at least a minor reason, however. Some slurs are taken more seriously than others. Racial insults are not that likely to be seen as hurtful, yet a strong majority 6 in 10 felt comments and images targeting transgender people or Muslims are. Almost as likely to be viewed as mean-spirited are slurs against gays, lesbians and bisexual people, and those aimed at people who are overweight. Maria Caprigno, who has struggled with obesity since childhood, said seeing mean images on Facebook stings. But she thinks the online world reflects the rest of U.S. society. Its still socially acceptable to comment on someones weight and what someone is eating, said Caprigno, 18, of Norwood, Mass. We need to change that about our culture before people realize posting stuff like that online is going to be offensive to someone. Erick Fernandez of West New York, N.J., says what people share online reflects the influence of song lyrics and music videos and movies. He doesnt approve but feels resigned to it. I try to call some of my friends out on it, but its really to no avail, said Fernandez, 22. They brush it off and five minutes later something else will come out. Why even bother? In the poll, young people said they were less likely to ask someone to stop using hurtful language on a social networking site than face to face. Alexandria Washington said shes accustomed to seeing men who wouldnt say offensive things to her in person post pictures of half-naked women in sexual positions, followed by demeaning comments and slurs like whore and ratchet. Theyll post anything online, but in person its a whole different story, said Washington, 22, a graduate student in Tallahassee, Fla. There seems to be a desensitizing effect. Those who report more exposure to discriminatory images and words online are less likely to say its wrong than those who rarely or never encounter it. Context is crucial, too. Demeaned groups sometimes reclaim slurs as a way of stripping the words of their power like the feminist Bitch magazine or gay rights activists chanting Were here, were queer, get used to it! Washington, who is African-American, said on most days she doesnt come across racial slurs on social media. But she stumbles upon bigoted words when race is in the news, such as surrounding President Barack Obamas re-election, and finds them hurtful in that serious context. Likewise, Calli, the high school student originally

Associated Press

from Argentina, said he could stomach almost any name-calling but gets upset when someone uses a falsehood to denigrate immigrants. Jeffrey Bakken, 23, a producer at a video game company in Chicago, said the bad stuff online, especially slurs posted anonymously, doesnt define todays young people. He says they actually are more committed to equal rights for minorities and gays than previous generations. Kids were horrible before the Internet existed, Bakken said. Its just that now its more accessible to the public eye. The AP-NORC Center/ MTV poll was conducted online Sept. 27-Oct. 7 among a random national sample of 1,297 people between the ages of 14 and 24. Results for the full sample have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points. Funding for the study was provided by MTV as part of A Thin Line campaign to stop digital abuse. The survey was conducted by GfK using KnowledgePanel, a probabilitybased online panel. Respondents are recruited randomly, using traditional telephone and mail sampling methods. People selected who had no Internet access were given it for free.

Bolivias leader decrees special Christmas bonus

LA PAZ, Bolivia President Evo Morales decreed Wednesday that an extra months wages should be paid as a special Christmas bonus to all salaried workers in Bolivia, at state agencies, in the military and police and in the private sector. Bolivian law already requires that salaried workers get a months pay as a December bonus, so they will now get triple their pay for that month.

The leftist president said he made the surprise announcement because his governments goal is to reduce poverty and more equally distribute the wealth in one of South Americas poorest nations. The economy is good and the countrys growth should return to the workers with a double Christmas bonus, Morales said during a meeting with union leaders. Bolivias Federation of Private Companies vehemently objected, calling the decree politicking in a statement that said it bodes terrible for future investment. Morales, Bolivias first indigenous president and a coca growers union leader, first won office in December 2005 and is expected to seek re-election next year. He has nationalized public services, including telecommunications and the electrical grid, and renegotiated natural resource extraction deals, but he has largely left the private sector intact. Morales has, however, mandated annual wage increases to keep pace with inflation, which is now at 6.4 percent annually. Opposition Sen. Marcelo Antezana called the Christmas bonus decree demagogic and predicted it would aggravate inflation. Bolivia is among countries that oblige all employers to pay workers an extra monthly wage in December. The new decree means Bolivias salaried workers will get a third monthly wage for the month. Those affected include some 300,000 state employees, who have doubled in number since Morales took office. Their median salary is a little more than $500 a month. Bolivias government is the single biggest employer in the country of 10 million people. Most Bolivians work in the informal economy and Morales has sought to extend a social safety net to them.

Our view Seitz, scams and statehouse

unction Citys Community-Based Outpatient Clinic could soon be named in honor of an American military hero who retired to Junction City after a distinguished career that included leading his troops at the Battle of the Bulge in World War II. Lieutenant General Richard J. Seitz, who died in June at the age of 95, received numerous awards during his 37-year military stint, including the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars and the Purple Heart. After settling in Junction City, he was active in the community in mentoring young officers at Fort Riley, serving on the Coronado Council of the Boy Scouts, and on the board of the Eisenhower Library. Now the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs has passed legislation attached to an omnibus bill to name the local clinic after Seitz, who already has an elementary school at Fort Riley named in his honor. Since the clinic provides outpatient medical care to veterans, it is certainly fitting that it be named in memory of Seitz, who gave so much both to his country and to this community. The holiday season is practically upon us. While scammers rarely take a break, it is likely they are increasing their efforts as Christmas approaches in hopes of making some extra money off the gullibility of unsuspecting citizens. A recent phone scam targeting subscribers to TV Guide didnt fool one local resident, who knew better than to give out a credit card number over the phone to the caller. The caller claimed TV Guide wanted to refund money to the subscriber for overpaying. In this case, the scammers called five times in a day-and-a-half, indicating this fraud is probably pretty widespread. TV Guide when contacted by the subscriber said it doesnt do any business over the phone. Common sense dictates one should never give out personal information such as credit card or bank account numbers to anyone over the phone, unless you initiate the contact and only if you are certain that you are talking to a legitimate party. The adage if it sounds too good to be true it usually is applies nearly all the time. Use common sense and dont let a con artist fleece you this holiday season or any other time, for that matter. Finally, it is worth noting that after 13 years renovation of the Kansas statehouse is nearly complete. A party is planned for the week leading up to the Jan. 29 dedication of the building. That is the anniversary of the states admission to the United States. After $330 million and more than a decade, Kansas citizens certainly have a statehouse of which they can be proud. It now includes a visitors center and an underground parking garage. The entire complex has been overhauled from the top of the dome to the basement, as the Associated Press noted. The statehouse is a symbol of democracy and representative government that belongs to all of regardless of our political persuasion. All Kansans should rightly take pride in our refurbished statehouse.

GMOs look to the future

B Y JOHN S CHLAGECK

Kansas Farm Bureau

Dont be scammed

he challenge for farmers and ranchers will be to double food production by 2050 to help feed an estimated 9 billion people. GMOs or genetically modified organisms have the potential to dramatically increase the worlds output in coming decades without causing significant environmental hazards. This new technology is affording us ways to improve plant characteristics to lower production costs and increase yields on existing farmland. Today a wide variety of plants are products of genetically modified science. Some are being developed with the ability to withstand certain herbicides while yielding higher productivity with lower costs and less environmental impact. Contrary to what you may have read or heard, the use of GMOs can be a win-win situation for everyone. Farmers can realize higher yields producing a more economical crop and consumers wind up with a safer, better tasting and healthier food.

In spite of these advances, some environmental groups in this country and some members of the European Union have resisted the use of GMOs because they fear genetic manipulation is unnatural. They believe the food it produces is dangerous and this technology is bad for the environment. GMOs have already been tested, and field trials are being conducted. All indications are that GMOs present no danger, but this will need to continue to be proven in tests with sound science. The future of agriculture will remain bright as long as technology is allowed to progress without being hampered by unfounded fears. GMOs are an important production tool for the American farmer and rancher. We must continue to talk openly with the public about this safe scientific procedure to promote complete understanding of the issue. It would be a major blow to production agriculture if GMO research were slowed or stopped. Scientific information must be readily available to all consumers so they too can understand this vital issue. Biotechnology has the ability to rev-

olutionize medicine as well as agriculture. Already there have been significant medical breakthroughs. Examples include gene therapy to build blood vessels that bypass clogged arteries; destruction of cancerous tumors by cutting off their blood supply; vaccines for AIDS, malaria and ear infections; an anticancer booster shot that could stimulate immune systems; tissue engineering that helps the body regenerate itself; lab-grown bone, cartilage and skin or even organs such as the heart are in the works. Our future can be enhanced with GMOs and biotechnology if these advances are allowed to progress. Its important we learn and inform others as much as possible about these upcoming advances.

he Geary County Food Pantry partnered with ABATE District 15 for an area food drive. ABATE is a not-forprofit organization which promotes and encourages motorcycle safety for riders and drivers to share the road. The goal was to collect 500 pounds of nonperishable food. Those who participated more than met the goal. Total collection was 840 pounds of food for the Geary County Food Pantry. ABATE also gave a monetary donation to help the food bank buy perishable items. A special thanks goes to several businesses as well as the Fraternal Order of Eagles.

About this page

To the Editor:

would like to express my thoughts about a casino here in Junction City. Were trying very hard to change how those around us see our community. I recall over the years different things JC has been called the one that sticks out is Junktown among

others. My objection is for all the reasons already stated by others Ive talked with, and that is, what it will bring to the community. Not good thoughts. And the hundreds of jobs, I question the validity of that statement, as well as the revenue the city/county will gain by having a casino here. (Questioning, what kind of jobs, full time, with benefits, wages that would truly support a family). Seems to me were looking to make a name with a casino by playing off the weaknesses of those who would like to

win big, not realizing how big the losses could be before any kind of a win. For some people this isnt just fun, its an addiction. If we truly want to change our reputation and be a community concerned with the well being of our community and our fellowman, lets skip the casino and bring something with more value and self worth to our community. Just my thoughts, thank you.

The Associated Press is not naming the suspects because they have not been charged. The Sedgwick County district attorneys office said it expected law enforcement officials to present later this week their case to determine if charges will be filed. Authorities dont expect any more arrests, but the investigation is ongoing, Pollock said.

He asked the Kansas Board for Discipline of Attorneys to order him to not handle any more murder cases but allow him to practice other forms of law in his Jefferson County practice. Deputy disciplinary administrator Alexander Walczak recommended that the board disbar Hawver if he knowingly violated ethics laws, or that his license be suspended if it was a case of negligently violating the rules. Walczak told the panel that Hawver accepted a one-year diversion agreement in April 2003 for his representation of a woman in an equal employment rights case, which the woman lost. He took the Cheatham case just months later. The panel asked Hawver if he thought he should have taken the Cheatham case based on the results of the employment case. I didnt know at that time that (a capital case) would be handled any differently than any other murder cases, Hawver said. Walczak said the two cases indicated that Hawver wasnt well versed in either type of law and not qualified to represent clients. Hawver said he never took continuing education courses regarding death penalty cases and that he wasnt aware of American Bar Association standards for handling capital cases. I understand now that my defense of Mr. Cheatham could be viewed as being deficient. I agree, Hawver said.

Alida community holds 50th reunion

Club News
viewing old pictures and treasures including two official Alida school satin basketball jackets from the 1950s. There were eight students attending the school when it closed in May 1963. Three of those last students attended the reunion; Larry Avery, Karen Facklam-Jameson and Bert Facklam. A highlight of the reunion was a humorous presentation of the train station skit first performed at the school in the late 1930s during a monthly Alida community meeting. The response the 1930s cast received was overwhelming and they were asked to perform the skit at community meetings in surrounding areas. The 2013 cast were Bob Baer, Lois Thompson-Curry, Opal Thompson-Dalton, Phyllis ThompsonSerrault, Mike Fasse, Bill Steinford, Loren Thorp and Harold Facklam. The Alida community still is alive in the hearts of its former residence and they unanimously agreed to hold their 51st annual Alida community reunion on Sunday Nov. 2, 2014 at the Geary County 4-H/SCC. they were planning on doing in the following months. Special guests Kim Kummer and Pat Josey updated the members on Judy Ahrens convention in 2014 and Sandi White state St. Jude chair spoke to the group about the upcoming St Judes walk on Nov. 23 at Legends in Kansas City. She also reminded us of the ESA Memphis marathon Dec. 6 and 7 in Memphis. 2nd Vice President Angie Fairbanks reminded everyone that our next state board meeting will be Nov. 1 to 3 in Wichita and that she is planning a tailgate party along with HCI Enterprises as the fund raiser for the weekend. 1st Vice President Bonnie Templeton told the group that she has plenty of willing to serve and willing to nominate forms available. President Judy Ahrens said that she still had charms available for sale. She also has registration forms for Heartspring weekend available. She invited everyone to celebrate her mothers 90th birthday on Oct. 26. Refreshments were served before the meeting was open so members could visit before we got down to business. Our next meeting will be on Nov. 17 in Manhattan at the Meadowlark Estates for an ice cream social. The meeting was ended with all members reciting the closing ritual.

Brookside 4-H Club

On a Sunday afternoon in June of 1963 residence of the Alida community gathered at the old Alida stone school for the last time. The Corp of Engineers had purchased their farms, homes, and land for the purpose of building Milford Reservoir. The school and grain elevators were to be torn down. With the filling of the lake all signs of a community were going to be gone. Everyone realized that was the future for Alida. Tears were shed, hugs were given, and promises were made to stay in touch. The Alida community residence kept their word to stay in touch. On Nov. 3 they gathered at the Geary County 4-H/ Senior Citizen Center for their 50th annual reunion. Approximately 60 former Alida community neighbors and classmates traveled from South Dakota, Colorado, Texas, and all areas of Kansas to attend the reunion. They enjoyed a potluck dinner and an afternoon of sharing memories while

Special to the Daily Union
That makes us count our blessings for having Cowboy so much more. A year ago early in the summer, Cowboy came down with serious colic, and required surgery at the vet college, Marlene gravely reflected. While displacement of the large intestine over the spleen preventing proper digestion is not a completely uncommon disorder in horses, it is a most serious one, sometimes fatal. We are so fortunate that surgery was completely successful, and the long recovery went quite well. Today, Cowboy is the best ever, and seems to be more consistent in every event, Marlene thankfully credited. Interesting how a tight knit horse-loving, enthusiastic horseshow family can acquire such a unique and important horse as Cowboy has become. With four children, along with Josh and I wanting to ride, too, we need lots of horses. Finding the right ones to be successful with different aged children each with their own abilities isnt really very easy, Marlene admitted. There was a constant search to fill that need when Josh seemingly coincidentally inquired of rancher Bud Higgs at Cedar Point if he knew of a horse that might meet a horseshow familys all-around event needs. Bud knew about Cowboy, a ranch horse, who the previous owner insisted was too slow. So, we bought Cowboy five-and-half years ago, and I rode him in pleasure events the first year to get him more collected. Cowboy was just a natural at changing leads and has taken to everything weve asked him to do, said Marlene, who noted that the bay gelding is also used for gathering and roping cattle when the occasion arises. All four Patry children collected year-end awards in most events during the EKHA banquet, with Nichole, highpoint all-around 10 to 13; Michelle, highpoint allaround 7 to 9 and Jayden, fourth highpoint all-around 7 to 9. Qualifying to compete in many events at the 4-H horse show during the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson, the two oldest Patry girls placed in majority of the divisions there as well. To qualify for the state fair really isnt a small feat. But, to get there and be called back to the Finals makes us tickled. Placing in the Top 10 in a class, and sometimes a number of them, is frosting on the cake, Marlene admitted. The children have recently competed as a team, and with other kids their age, successfully in Youth Ranch Rodeos, with that participation likely more frequent on the horizon. Horse family deepest roots came from Marlene (Hill), who competed in Paint Horse and 4-H horse events extensively while growing up. Attending high school at Valley Center, Marlene was a freshman when Josh was a senior, but the couple married a year after her graduation. Josh went to work for a cattle operation at Willowdale. Josh was more into the cattle and farming, and we didnt have any horses for a time after we got married 16 years ago, Marlene commented. Three years into their marriage, when Josh became herdsman for the Oleen Brothers Hereford-Black Angus, Foundation Quarter Horses operations in Morris County, the Patry family soon again acquired their own horses. Josh started riding on the ranch, and it was natural for us to get horses for our

Cowboy survives bout to continue familys ride

B Y F RANK J. B UCHMAN This Cowboy is a Super Horse. This horse is a survivor thanks to modern medicine. Little Cowboy Lane is the Horse of a Lifetime for the Josh Patry family of Dwight. We are so privileged to own Cowboy. He is truly an all-around horse, and our children have been able to accomplish so much with him, Marlene Patry said. Cowboy is such a pleasure to own, enjoys what he does and is getting better all of the time. Thats so important to us with four children, and Josh and I liking and wanting to ride, too, Marlene added. It is official, Little Cowboy Lane, a bay 13-year-old Poco Pine-Bert bred registered Quarter Horse gelding, was presented the Super Horse Award at the recent Eastern Kansas Horsemans Association (EKHA) yearend awards banquet in Salina. Awarded an embroidered body-blanket signifying the recognition, Little Cowboy Lane was ridden by Nichole, 13; Heather, 12; Michelle, 10; and Jayden, eight, throughout the year at 14 EKHA shows to earn the prestigious honor. I ride him, too, but mostly Nichole and Heather have ridden Cowboy at the shows this year. Heather generally uses him in showmanship, horsemanship and pleasure, while Nichole rides Cowboy in the speed events. He definitely knows the difference whos on his back, and will perform accordingly, Marlene credited. As proud and privileged as all of the Patry family feels about their great Cowboy, the honor to own such an outstanding horse has even added importance and significance since they easily could have lost him last year from serious ailment.

Little Cowboy Lane, typically called Cowboy, is an important part of the Josh Patry family at Dwight. Recipient of the Super Horse Award at the recent Eastern Kansas Horsemans Association year-end banquet in Abilene, the 13-year-old bay all-around quarter horse gelding is with his proud owners in front of their trailer and a sampling of his awards including an embroidered Super Horse blanket. The family includes Nichole, Michelle, Heather, Josh, Jayden and Marlene.
family, Marlene contended. Both Marlene and Josh competed successfully in horse shows along with their children for several years. Now, it keeps us busy making sure the kids are ready for all of their classes, said Marlene, who along with her husband, are frequently seen tuning on family horses before and during horseshows. I want to start competing in horse shows again in the future, and I suspect Josh will, too. As a member of the Oleen Brothers team, Josh has competed in lots of ranch rodeos over the past several years. Theyve won a number of them, Marlene credited. In addition to Joshs herdsman position, the Patry family has their own Patry Farms purebred Angus and commercial cattle operations. Our children have started showing cattle and enjoy doing that as well, Marlene noted. We have a few mares, and a stallion to raise our own horses now, too. We have 15 horses on the place today, Marlene counted. Going down the horseshow road is no small matter, so the Patry family has acquired a larger trailer so they have a home away from home every weekend. It is a five-horse slant in order to accommodate all of the horses our family needs at every show, and there are also nice living quarters for us, Marlene insisted. Verifying the positive influence horses have had on the family, Marlene explained, All of our children just love riding horses and going to the shows. Weve given them all the opportunity to be involved in other sports, but theyve always wanted to continue riding in horseshows. Other sports would take away from their practice time in the evenings. Now, theyre anxious to ride after supper, and have their own horses saddled and ready by the time I get outside, Marlene said. While consideration has been given to competing in junior rodeos, the Patry children have preferred to continue participating in mostly EKHA and 4-H events, with an occasional youth ranch rodeo. Again, weve left it up to them, and theyve made the decision.

nonprofit organization and shelter called Pamela Helping Hands, to assist people in need. Although Hamilton provided a few documents, it was not enough to satisfy the councils request. Im trying to accommodate whatever the city wants ... , Hamilton said. I dont want to fight the place I live and pay my taxes. Thats insanity. According to city officials, the owner has been in court several times for blight ordinance violations since 2003. Fire Chief Jerome Thomas said Hamilton would have to comply with codes and make major upgrades. A few of them included an integrated fire alarm system and sprinkler system and carpentry. Hamilton said she could not develop a financial plan since no one was allowed to go inside. Thomas said he recently denied a permit for a contractor because he wanted to start work right away. With legal action pending, I had to deny the permit, Thomas said. As far as going in and saying she needs this and that, he had ample time to do that. He said the contractor could not provide an exact estimate because Hamilton was unsure about her plans. Other plans included a hotel, shelter for veterans or a residence for herself. When he told me that, I had to deny it because she has not followed what the council said, Thomas said. You dont need a building permit right away to get an estimate of what you want to do. City Attorney Roger Unruh said its not the citys job to determine what she should do with the building. City officials wanted to see some sort of a blueprint from an architect or contractor with a time frame. The bottom line is that we dont know if were talking 90 days, six months or 45 days because we dont have an architect and a contractor telling us what needs to be done to bring it up to code, Unruh said. The ballpark figure to demolish the building is about $10,000, but it was recently stated that it could cost about $500,000 to restore.

Phil Diestelkamp looks at maps of Junction City showing past and future street maintenance plans late Wednesday afternoon at a street maintenance program open house at the municipal building. The maps were on display and city engineering and public works department employees were on hand to answer questions on what repairs are in store for city streets. In 2014, Junction City could spend up to more than $900,000 on street maintenance. Many street segments around town will see crack sealing repairs, while some are expected to receive complete mill and overlay or concrete makeovers. City staff also provided information on planned Kansas Department of Transportation projects and an updated snow emergency route for this winter.

GRANDVIEW PLAZA When Pamela Hamilton stepped to the podium Tuesday night, she hoped the City Council would change their minds on tearing down the Sunset Motel. After pleading for a second time with city leaders during an emotional Tuesday meeting, there was no change of heart. Hamilton has 30 days to demolish her property at 410 E. Flint Hills Blvd. If she does not comply, the city will do it for her. Council members approved a resolution to do so because its an unsafe or dangerous structure. One way or another, the building is not fit for anybody to live there, Council member Marvin Edison said. In October, Hamilton was granted a 30-day extension to come up with a financial plan to rehabilitate the building, which was damaged by a fire in the summer. Hamilton originally wanted to turn the building into a

was OK as proposed. Apparently, theres a need (for a pet limit) that we need to look at some type of regulation, Aska said. That perceived need was brought up over the course of a year-long process in which a committee of stakeholders worked to create an updated animal code. Veterinarians, city commissioners, city staff, citizens and an animal control officer took part in those discussions. After McCallisters motion failed because of the 2-2 vote, Sands motioned to approve the code with no changes. I think we have a fine document here and I like it

the way it is, Sands said earlier. Aska seconded the motion from Sands, but McCallister and Ryan voted no, resulting in another tie. Instead of forcing a third attempt, the commission tabled the code until the next meeting on Dec. 3. The animal code has been stuck now since the commission first discussed it in September. Since the first meeting, citizens have shown up to voice their concerns, mainly about the pet limit. Like many of the people who filled the municipal building boardroom Tuesday night, Linnea Alt is involved with programs that seek to provide foster homes for pets that the Junction City-Geary County Animal Shelter doesnt

have room to house. Alt is the president of Friends of Animals and also sits on the animal shelter board. Alt told the commission the pet limit was unreasonable, mainly because Junction City doesnt have a problem with people keeping too many pets to the point where it could become a nuisance. The majority of our households in the community are not going to have up to 19 (the state limit), she said. Theyre just not. The majority of our citizens, theyre not overboard, but they have more than five (of a licensable pet). Several commissioners stated they have received phone calls asking them not to approve the animal code with the pet limit.

They said nobody in favor of a limit has contacted them. But Assistant City Manager Cheryl Beatty said neighbors of properties with many animals likely would be in favor of a limit. A silent majority of the people are probably not going to want five dogs living next to them, she said. Beatty said she also recalled incidents of reported cat hoarding in the past. Not all households would be restricted to the animal limits under the new code. Animal foster homes would be allowed to partner with a local shelter and

keep additional animals for those facilities. Homes with foster licenses would have to follow state guidelines. The code also includes a grandfather clause for properties that currently have more than the allowed pets. Those owners would be allowed to keep those pets until the animals die. The police department would have to create a catalog of grandfathered animals, which opponents of the proposed code said would be time-consuming. Opponents also said the codes process for establishing a foster home was an unnecessary inconvenience

since the state already monitors those homes. It also could prevent some people from accepting animals into their homes, they said. But instead of pressing forward Tuesday, the commission decided to table the code until another vote can decide the outcome. At least one commission member will be glad when a decision is made. To tell ya, Id much rather be talking about a mill levy than this, Aska said, producing chuckles from the commission and crowd. A mill levy is much easier than this.

the discussion focused on the logistics of bringing jobs to Junction City, not just a casino. Yeah, I mean, it was looking at the economic development program and looking at model economic development programs across the state, across the nation and determining what are best practices and whats Junction City doing well, what could Junction City improve on, he said. Theres a number of avenues that could be looked at. Though its been happening for a while, the push for

a casino still is in its infancy, Longbine said. A casino has been talked about in the community for a long, long time, he said. I think theyre just beginning to look at what are the possibilities of a casino in Junction City, whats the realities, but also, more importantly, how does this region attract capital investment and jobs, whether thats industry or whether thats tourism. Talk of bringing a casino to the area isnt a new concept. Conversations within the community and in Topeka were held several years ago.

The Kansas City Chiefs have released defensive tackle Anthony Toribio and signed former New England Patriots defensive tackle Kyle Love. The Chiefs made the moves Tuesday, two days after a loss to the Denver Broncos. Toribio joined the Chiefs in 2010 and had hung around the past four seasons, despite having to impress three different head coaches. He was pressed into service against the Broncos on Sunday night when Mike DeVito had to leave a 27-17 loss with a leg injury. Its unknown how long DeVito will be out. Love started 25 games over the past three seasons in New England, but was waived in May after he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. He was claimed by the Jaguars and cut in September.

Top playmaker Tony Pierson will miss the rest of the season for Kansas because of recurring symptoms from a concussion that he sustained against Texas Tech last month. Jayhawks coach Charlie Weis said Tuesday that a healthy Tony is critical to the success of our program, but not at the risk of Tony. Pierson missed most of four games after he sustained a concussion while getting tackled Oct. 5. He returned Nov. 9 at Oklahoma State, but took another big hit in a win over West Virginia on Saturday that ended the Jayhawks 27-game Big 12 losing streak. Pierson is the Jayhawks leading receiver with 24 catches for 333 yards and a touchdown. Hes also run for 163 yards. Kansas (3-7, 1-6 Big 12) visits Iowa State on Saturday before hosting Kansas State to finish the season.

Chiefs offense struggling with slow starts

B Y DAVE SKRETTA

Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. It had to be a painful experience for Chiefs coach Andy Reid, someone who prides himself on being an offensive innovator, to relive the first quarter of last Sundays game in Denver. The first 19 plays included a false start penalty, a fumble in the red zone, another fumble on a snap, a dropped pass, a sack and a threeand-out. When it comes to lousy execution, that about covers it. It was the latest and most glaring evidence of a troubling trend in which the Chiefs offense struggles

Fred Chatmon scored 20 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to lead the University of Missouri-Kansas City to its first season win, a 79-67 victory over UT Martin on Wednesday night. Chatmon was 9 of 12 from the floor with two assists and three blocks. Martinez Harrison also had 20 points for the Kangaroos (1-3) and was 8 of 9 from the line. Frank Williams Jr. chipped in with 12 points and five assists. The teams were tied 19-19 at 9:38 in the first period but the Kangaroos (1-3) surged ahead on a Chapman dunk and pair of 3-pointers by Caleb Johnson and Nelson Kirksey to pull to a 42-30 halftime lead. Both teams scored 37 points in the second half. Terrence Smith led the Skyhawks (1-5) with 14 points and four assists. Myles Taylor was close behind with 13 points and a team-high eight rebounds.

LAWRENCE The gentleman dressed in the finely tailored suit, sitting among the teeming throng of Kansas fans inside Allen Fieldhouse, had never seen a real basketball game in person. He knew enough to cheer when Joel Embiid dunked the ball, and the 7-foot freshman did it plenty of times Tuesday night. Embiid finished with 16 points and 13 rebounds in a breakout performance, helping the second-ranked Jayhawks to an 86-66 victory over Iona one made all the sweeter by the centers father in the stands. I dont think I played good because he was there, Embiid said. I just felt

more confident, and Coach always gives me his trust, so I just felt more confident. Embiid grew up playing volleyball in Yaounde, Cameroon, and didnt start playing basketball until he attended a camp run by the Sacramento Kings Luc Mbah a Moute, who hails from the same town. Embiid was 16 years old, but his athleticism made him a natural. He wound up at The Rock School in Gainesville, Fla., to pursue his basketball career, and quickly developed into a five-star talent. Kansas coach Bill Self was on him early, recruiting the blossoming Embiid to the school that produced Wilt Chamberlain. Hell look good some

days, he wont look as good some days, Self said, but hes smart. He gets it. Hes figuring things out all the time. Im real pleased with his development. Embiid had plenty of support in this one. Perry Ellis scored 21 points, Andrew Wiggins added 13 and Naadir Tharpe had 10 assists for Kansas (3-0), which overcame a sluggish start after a highprofile triumph over Duke last week. The Gaels (1-2), using a maddening 2-2-1 zone and pouring in 3-pointers, managed to hang within single digits until midway through the second half. Thats when Kansas went on a 19-4 surge fueled by its freshmen to finally put the game Please see Jayhawks, 3B

Tigers trade Fielder to Rangers for Kinsler

B Y N OAH T RIStER

Associated Press
DETROIT Prince Fielder was traded to the Texas Rangers in a blockbuster deal Wednesday night that sent second baseman Ian Kinsler to the Detroit Tigers. Detroit gave the Rangers $30 million as part of the trade, according to a person with knowledge of the deal. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the amount of money exchanged was not revealed when the teams announced the move. Fielder had to consent to the trade before it could be completed. The big first baseman signed a $214 million, nine-year contract with the Tigers before the 2012 season that includes a limited no-trade provision. Kinsler just finished the first season of a $75 million, five-year contract. Its the first headlinegrabbing move of baseballs offseason, and it involves two of the American Leagues top teams. Detroit has won three consecutive AL Central titles and reached the World Series in 2012, while Texas won the AL pennant in 2010 and 2011. But neither team was about to stand pat. With stars like Fielder, Justin Verlander, Miguel Cabrera and Anibal Sanchez in the fold, Detroits payroll had become one of the games biggest. And although Fielder hit 55 home runs over the last two years for the Tigers, his numbers dipped this season and he struggled in the playoffs when Detroit lost to Boston in the AL championship series. Fielder hit .279 with 25 homers this year, his lowest home run total over a full season. He did not have a single RBI in the 2013 postseason and hit .182 in the ALCS. Kinsler batted .277 with 13 homers this year. He was limited to 136 games because of injuries to his

ribs and right side. The trade could give Detroit more financial flexibility, with Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer a year from free agency. Fielder, however, is still only 29, and the Rangers are set to add a big bat to the middle of their lineup while also resolving a logjam in the middle of their infield. Jurickson Profar, a highly touted 20-year-old prospect, appeared to be blocked by Kinsler and shortstop Elvis Andrus. Now, Profar should have a chance to play regularly. The Tigers signed Fielder to a huge contract shortly before spring training in 2012 after designated hitter Victor Martinez injured his knee. Martinez came back in 2013. With Fielder gone, Cabrera may move from third base back to first. Kinsler fills a need at second base for Detroit after Omar Infante became a free agent. Fielder is due $168 million through 2020, a salary of $24 million per season. Under his no-trade clause, he submits a list of 10 teams each year that he can be traded to without his approval. Texas was not on that list this year, but Fielder agreed to accept the trade and instructed agent Scott Boras to approve the deal. Kinsler is guaranteed $62 million through 2017: $16 million in each of the next two seasons, $14 million in 2016, $11 million in 2017 and a $5 million buyout of a $10 million option. Its already been an unpredictable offseason for the Tigers. Manager Jim Leyland stepped down after the season and was replaced by Brad Ausmus. Detroit could have come back with a similar roster and probably been favored to win the division again, but now more changes seem possible. If Cabrera moves back to first base, prospect Nick Castellanos might replace him at third. Previously, it

Wichita State tops Tulsa 77-54

Associated Press
TULSA, Okla. Tied at halftime with winless Tulsa, 14th-ranked Wichita State walked off the court to chants of overrated! Following an early season pattern, the Shockers found the offensive rhythm necessary to validate their ranking in the second half. Fred VanVleet and Ron Baker each scored 21 points and Wichita State finished with a 26-6 run to shake free of pesky Tulsa for a 77-54 win Wednesday night in its first road game of the season. The Shockers shot 53.6 percent from the field in the second half after hitting just 35.7 percent in a first half that ended 31-all. We want to change that and play the first half the way that we are playing the second half, VanVleet said. We know that our ranking can be a shot of energy for the other team at the start of the game. But we know that we can grind on the other team for a while and then we will bust it open. Leading 51-48 after an inside basket by Tulsas James Woodard, Wichita State scored the next eight points to force a Golden Hurricane timeout with 8:35 left. Wichita State (5-0) has outscored its opponents by a combined 71 points in the second half the past four games. Tulsa (0-3) was 13 for 30 from the free throw line. In its two home games this season, Tulsa is 30 for 66 from the line. We simply have to step up to the line and make shots, Tulsa head coach Danny Manning said. Were disappointed and upset that we lost this game.

Detroit Tigers Prince Fielder runs off the field during Game 2 of the American League championship series against the Boston Red Sox on Oct. 13, in Boston.
appeared Castellanos would have to play the outfield if both Cabrera and Fielder were still on the team. Andy Dirks is still available to play left field, but thats a spot the Tigers could still try to upgrade. They also have six capable starting pitchers Drew Smyly was used in the bullpen this year so thats a surplus that could come in handy in a possible trade. Detroits bullpen will likely undergo a makeover after struggling last season. The Rangers lost slugging outfielder Nelson Cruz to a late-season suspension as a result of MLBs investigation in the Biogenesis case. Hes now a free agent, and if Texas loses him, Fielder should help replace his production. Adrian Beltre and Alex Rios are among the dangerous hitters under contract next season in Texas. Beltre had an AL-high 199 hits and Rios, acquired from the Chicago White Sox in August after Cruz was suspended, has a year left on his deal. The Rangers lost a onegame tiebreaker to Tampa Bay for the second AL wild card this year. The trade agreement was first reported by CBSSports.com.

SPORTS LOW-DOWN ON PUERTO RICO TIp-OFF TEAMS

Charlotte: Kansas States first round opponent, the 49ers are coming off of a 21-12 season where they upset Richmond in the first round of the Atlantic 10 basketball tournament before falling to No. 1 seed St. Louis. Charlotte (2-1) recorded wins against Eastern Tennessee State and Elon, with its only loss coming by one point at College of Charleston. Four of the five projected 49er starters are averaging double-digit point totals through the first three games of the season and a fifth, Shawn Lester, is leading the team with 17.7 points off the bench. Georgetown: The Hoyas earned a No. 2 seed in last y e a r s N C A A tournamentbefore becoming tournament darling Florida Gulf Coasts first victim. Georgetown (1-1) opened the season with a loss in South Korea to No. 19 ranked Oregon before rebounding with a home win against Wright State. Through the early season, preseason All-Big East senior Markel Starks has paced the Hoyas averaging 19.5 points and 5 assists per game. Northeastern: The defending CAA regular season winners lost out on a birth in the NCAA tournament when the Huskies fell in the final round of the conference tournament. Northeastern (1-2) lost back-to-back games against Boston and Stoney Brook before rebounding with a win against Central Connecticut. The Huskies feature four juniors in the starting lineup with forward Scott Eatherton averaging of 14 points and 10 rebounds this season. Michigan: The 2013 NCAA runner-up Michigan entered this season with high expectations after returning three starters from last years squad. No. 14 Michigan (2-1) lost on the road at Iowa State in its first challenge of the year, and still has No. 6 Duke and No. 5 Arizona on its schedule. The Wolverines are trying to get as battle-tested as possible before entering Big Ten conference play. Michigan has two players currently projected to go in the first round of the 2014 NBA draft in Glenn Robinson III and Mitch McGary. Long Beach State: The 49ers are coming off a 71-58 loss to Kansas State. Long Beach State (1-3) has lost three consecutive games but already has played a top 10 team in then No. 6 Arizona on the road. Long Beach State coach Don Monson said following the K-State game that he likes scheduling a tough non-conference schedule as he views it as the best way to prepare his team for the conference schedule, as he knows the only way the 49ers have a realistic shot at the NCAA tournament is by winning the automatic bid. Virginia Commonwealth: No. 10 Virginia Commonwealth (3-0) enters the Puerto Rico tip-off undefeated and riding three consecutive seasons of advancing to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament including a 2011 final four appearance. In his fifth year at the helm, Rams coach Shaka Smart has fully implemented his havoc style of play. Three starters return from last-years squad that lost to Michigan in the sweet 16, including leading scorer and rebounder Treveon Graham (16.3 points and 6.3 rebounds per game). The Rams already knocked off then-No. 25 Virginia on the road and achieved a top-10 ranking for the first time in school history this week. Florida State: Florida State (3-0) took care of business in each of its first three games to open the season, including a road victory against Central Florida. The Seminoles feature four players currently averaging in the doubl e - d i g i t s, led by senior forward Okaro White with 16 per game. After missing the tournament last season, Florida State is trying to find its way back to 2011-12 form when the squad won the ACC tournament and earned a No. 3 seed in the big dance.

away. Our kids came out and competed their hearts out and did their best all night, Iona coach Tim Cluess said. It gives us a lot of measuring sticks for the rest of the season. A.J. English scored 21 points for Iona, and David Laury added 13 points and nine rebounds before fouling out. Sean Armand added 14 points, hitting three 3-pointers to move within three of matching the schools career record of 263. While the Gaels shot the ball well, they had no answer inside for Ellis and Embiid. The 6-foot-8 Ellis scored on a variety of nifty spin moves and soft floaters in the lane, while Embiid used his massive size advantage to go 7 for 7 from the field. Much to the delight of his father, Thomas Embiid. It was the first time weve met him in person, Self said. Thats the first basketball game hes ever seen. Hell be here til Saturday or Sunday, so itll be good to see Joel play again. But it has to be cool, youve come over here and your first experience is Allen Fieldhouse. After allowing the Blue Devils to shoot better than 50 percent last week in Chicago, Kansas again struggled on defense. The Gaels pumped in six 3-pointers in the first half and shot 45 percent from the field in closing to within 41-36 at the break.

first three possessions in their previous game against Buffalo. The result both times was a halftime deficit. Kansas City managed to overcome it against the Bills with a dominant second half, led by its defense. But it couldnt do the same against a much more talented team in the Broncos, who built on their advantage en route to a 27-17 victory and share of the AFC West lead. It was the seventh time in 10 games that Kansas City had managed one offensive touchdown or fewer in the first half of a game. Three times the Chiefs havent scored any. The last time they scored a touchdown on their first series? Against the Cowboys on Sept. 15. Since then, the Chiefs have had to punt on their first offensive series in every game except a win over the Browns, when they settled for field goals on their first two possessions. I think the biggest thing is getting into a rhythm, quarterback Alex Smith said, moving some chains, getting consecutive plays ran, getting into the flow of the game, changing field position at a minimum. I think thats where it starts. The Broncos took advantage of prime field position to jump out to a 10-point lead on Sunday. When you change some field position and get some first downs, that carries into, Lets get into field-goal range. Lets get into the red zone. Lets score a touchdown, Smith said. Those are the steps I look at, but offensively it starts with a first down. Lets get a first down, he said, lets

move the chains and put a chunk of plays together. When you have a few three-andouts, its tough. You never get in a flow. Part of the problem with stringing together drives has been the costly miscues that have resulted in third-and-long situations. Brandon Alberts false start on the first play Sunday eventually put the Chiefs in third-and-12, while a drop by Donnie Avery and an incomplete pass to tight end Sean McGrath left the Chiefs facing thirdand-10 on their ensuing possession. Its not like were not trying, it just so happens thats the way the games have gone, McGrath said. You want to start fast and finish faster. Thats the idea. But sometimes it just doesnt work out that way. The Chiefs have tried different tactics to get going early. While theyve ridden running back Jamaal Charles most of the season, they have yet to be able to break many big plays, so they tried to take some shots down field against the Broncos. A couple of drops by wide receivers and a couple missed throws by Smith scuttled those chances. We did take more shots down the field, and well continue to work on that, Reid said. That hasnt necessarily been our strength in this offense up to this point, but were continuing to get better at the things we need to get better at, and thats one of them. Reid certainly wasnt going to divulge his game plan for the Chargers, but Smith acknowledged that theres an emphasis on executing in the first quarter this Sunday. I look back at myself and how I played Sunday night and didnt play very well 3x5.5 8/13/02 4:41 PM Page 1 early, he said. You turn on the tape, little thing here, little thing there, we all had our Orlin Wagner The Associated Press share, and thats what results in inexecuKansas guard Frank Mason passes to a teammate while covered by Iona forward Daniel Robinson tion. Is that a word? An inability to move in Lawrence, Tuesday. the football.

In fact, the Jayhawks might have found themselves behind to the MAAC school if not for the play of Ellis, who was 6 of 8 from the field and scored 13 points in the opening half. I feel a lot more confident, Ellis said, just trusting myself now. The Gaels kept within striking distance with their perimeter shooting early in the second half, much to the chagrin of Self, who kept burning timeouts. But once the outside shots stopped dropping, the Jayhawks were able to start running and use their superior athleticism. Tharpe served as the conductor orchestrating the Kansas offense, delivering crisp passes to set up easy baskets. The sophomore guard threw a pretty alleyoop pass to Wiggins to start the second half, and then tossed up another to Embiid on the next possession. Kansas finally buried the Gaels with its big run later in the half. Embiid and Ellis did most of the work, but the highlight came when Tharpe threw up another lob this time to 5-foot-11 freshman Frank Mason, who showed enough hops to slam it down. By the time Wayne Selden, another of the Jayhawks sensational freshmen, scored on a nifty reverse layup with just over 4 minutes to play, the lead had grown to 80-59. Of course, watching Kansas for plenty of years, thats what they do, English said. Their whole team is great. I know they have a lot of freshmen, but I feel like one through however many players they have, the whole team is great.

SPORTS ZIMMERMAN
Continued from Page 1B
He really was very motivational on the sideline, just like he wouldve been if he had been playing and didnt skip a beat in terms of his attitude toward the game, junior linebacker Jonathan Truman said. He just got right back out there saying encouraging things like he would have if he had been out there. Zimmerman relayed what he saw to his teammates, trying to pick up anything he could from his new vantage point that might possibly give his team the edge. Sophomore defensive back Dante Barnett said Zimmerman morphed into another coach when he was on the sideline. Kansas State coach Bill Snyder remained mum on Zimmermans status at his weekly press conference on Tuesday. Instead of breaking his code of silence on injured players, he joked that Ty would parachute into the stadium. Earning a starting job his freshman year, the Junction City High School alumn has emerged as the elder statesman of the secondary. His 13 career interceptions
place him in a tie with Dyshod Carter for third all-time in K-State history. And his 221 interception return yards rank second in Wildcat history. Tys a guy that always knows what hes doing out on the field, Truman said. Hes great out there, just confident but not arrogant. He knows not only his position but all the other positions out there and I could go on and on about the great things he does. I just have a lot of respect for him. But his contributions to the defense go deeper than individual statistics. As Kansas State came together for its four-game win streak it will take into this weekend, Zimmerman played a key role in bringing along the an inexperienced defense. Hes a leader to the defense, freshman fullback Glenn Gronkowski said. Not just with his plays but he puts everyone in the right spot and he knows what hes doing. With the silence surrounding his injury, its impossible to know whether or not Zimmerman will suit up Saturday. But one thing will be certain, he will impact the game and do everything in his ability to help his team. Ty is a guy that doesnt talk as much, hes not one that talks a whole lot out loud, hes kind of a quiet reserved guy, Truman said. But the words he does say are always important to the team, they always mean a lot and theyre always genuine.

Dear Annie: Over the past 10 years, I have noticed that my sisters memory has become very confused. She often has false memories, believing something that happened to a friend or celebrity actually happened to her. She also says hurtful things and doesnt remember saying them. My husband and I decided it was best just to let it go, as she gets upset quite easily. Recently, she said something that really hurt my feelings, and I decided to talk to her about it and clear the air. However, when I mentioned it, she became terribly agitated and insisted she would never say any such thing. She actually got her family involved, and they agreed that I was imagining things. I love my sister and dont want to upset her, but this really bothers me. She has mentioned that her friends joke about her memory, and she doesnt like it. But Im surprised that her children and husband are not aware of the problem. Should I just let it go? Massachusetts Dear Massachusetts: We suspect her husband and children are well aware of the problem, but have chosen not to deal with it. Please encourage your sister to talk to her doctor. Say that you are worried about her. Memory problems are common, but if she is substituting others experiences for her own, it could be more serious. Ask if she is scheduled for a regular checkup and see whether you can accompany her, alerting the doctor if she neglects to do so. Also mention your concerns to her husband and children. Your sister may be too embarrassed to address this, so they need to be more proactive. Dear Annie: A year ago, my husband, who is very financially savvy, set up an investment account for his 2-year-old niece. Because she didnt need any more toys and the family lives quite a distance from us, we thought this would be a nice way for us to recognize birthdays, holidays and special events. Our plan was to make small investments into this account for her in the years to come. Soon after the parents received the information on the account, they cashed it out and reinvested it in a different type of account. They recently offered to share the details with us so we could invest for their daughter. Annie, what would have been a fun way for us to

honor her is no longer of interest to us. We will of course still send gifts to the child, but we feel the parents action was extremely tacky. What do you think? Boston Aunt Dear Boston: We understand why you have lost your enthusiasm, and we agree that the parents should have been grateful and left things alone. But it might assuage your annoyance to look at it another way: If you had purchased the child an outfit and the parents had exchanged it for something they preferred, would you be as upset? Probably not. The account was a gift, meaning she could do with it what she wished. It was still a thoughtful present from you and undoubtedly appreciated. If the goal is to provide the niece with a college fund, it really doesnt matter which account receives the funds. Your contribution is the same. Dear Annie: Thank you for printing the letter from Finally at Peace, who has endured three of her five children cutting off contact with her. It gives my husband and me hope and comfort. We are experiencing rejection from our oldest daughter, who has cut off contact except to send birth announcements of her children. We will be grandparents again because of our youngest daughter, who makes up for, over and above, what we are living without. But I am comforted from your writers sage advice on coming to peace with the situation and knowing that other factors helped shape our older girl. Grateful for What We Have

Horoscope
ARIES (March 21April 19). A gleaming prize gets you interested in learning, but once youre in the process of education, youll realize that the end result isnt even the best part. The gold is in the small steps that grow your skills and mind. TAURUS (April 20May 20). These gifts you were given are meant to be shared, not hoarded. Its time to use your talent. Give it away, sell it, publicize it, adapt it, and use it again in different ways. GEMINI (May 21June 21). Powerful people can do more good in the world than people without power. The trouble is that most people dont recognize just how powerful they really are. Do the good you can do, and youll start to see it. CANCER (June 22July 22). Its not fun to go without when those around you have plenty. And yet, youre better for having done this in your lifetime. You trust your instincts, and your character is strong. LEO (July 23Aug. 22). Changing ones mind doesnt automatically make a person a flip-flopper. It may instead be a sign of growth and intelligence. However, if the change was made to please another person, thats not a good sign. VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22). You are not afraid to make an unusual choice. Thats because you accept yourself, and thats more important to you than knowing that other people accept you. They come and go. Youre with yourself all of the time. LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 23). You dont like to be flattered with words that are obviously not specific to you. But today someone will notice what you value and give you props for your choices, and that will feel terrific. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). With buying comes risk, especially when youre buying into a belief. Believing can provide comfort in the moment, and yet it can also block you from the wide array of possibilities that comes with an open mind. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Many people are more concerned with living well than with living nobly. But you cannot feel satisfied with the trappings unless you know youve come by them through noble means. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Be orderly. This probably means youll have to cut something out. You may have to cut out 80 percent of it. The remaining 20 percent should be much easier to organize. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Theres a lot of fantasy going on in your personal life. Youre imagining, the other person is imagining... Those fantasies will connect at some points and be completely different at others. PISCES (Feb. 19March 20). You are usually so generous in your approach to groups, but what you are dealing with today is not a group effort. Youre in charge, and the success or failure of this project has everything to do with your choices.
