50 Cents Junction City, Kansas

Water, sewer repairs could reach $63 million

city.beat@thedailyunion.net
Junction Citys water and wastewater facilities are in a sorry state that will require millions of dollars in repairs and upgrades. The Junction City Commission was given a rundown of the facilities Monday during a work session led by Municipal Services Director Greg McCaffery and Don Lindeman, a project manager with HDR Engineering. The city entered a contract with HDR in June 2013 to complete a water and wastewater analysis and preliminary engineering summary. Lindeman presented the results and HDRs preliminary recommendations for how Junction City can repair and improve its systems, focusing on the citys water treatment plant and two wastewater treatment plants. Though the work would be completed in phases, the cost of recommended projects at all three facilities could be about $63 million. Some of the work must be done, City Manager Gerald Smith said during the session, because the equipment has outlived its lifespan. Its not a choice of do it or not do it, he said. The reality is it has to be done in order to keep our (facilities) operational. Commissioner Mick McCallister said the city must relay to citizens the message that some of the projects cant be skipped. Everybody needs to know that, he said. Our citizenry has to know that. The recommendations for all three facilities came in three phases 2014 to 2015, 2016 to 2017 and 2019 to 2021 for the water treatment plant and 2014 to 2015, 2015 to 2017 and 2019 to 2021 for the wastewater treatment plants. McCaffery explained the city would aim to complete the projects over the course of several years, but yet finance them over an even longer period of time, which is very common in the water-wastewater industry. McCaffery said the financing would be completed over about 20 to 25 years. LindePlease see Water, 8A

Commission to discuss interlocal agreements

B Y T IM WEIDEMAN

city.beat@thedailyunion.net
Cooperation with neighboring communities will be a common theme during tonights Junction City Commission meeting. On the agenda tonight are three interlocal agreements for the commissioners consideration. The meeting begins at 7 p.m. in the City Commission room of the municipal building, at 700 N. Jefferson St.

Commissioners first are expected to consider an interlocal agreement for planning, zoning and code enforcement between Junction City, Geary County and Milford. Junction City already has an agreement with Geary County, which in 2009 reorganized the Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC) to cover the city and rural areas of the county. At that time, offers were extended to both Milford and Grandview Plaza, but those cities elected to maintain their

own planning commissions. Last year, Milford decided to pursue joining the current interlocal agreement. A memo to commissioners from David Yearout, director of planning and zoning for the city and county, states Milford approved a revised agreement last month. The memo also states the Geary County Commission would be reviewing the agreement this week. If approved by the county and city commissions, the

agreement will be submitted to the Kansas Attorney Generals Office for final approval. Milford then will need to name a person to the MPC board. Milford also will need to enact several ordinances for their jurisdiction to fully implement all actions desired by that community for code enforcement operations, Yearouts memo states. Code enforcement operations for Milfords enacted ordinances will be self-supporting and Please see Commission, 8A

After wild adventure, abandoned dog finds home

During a busy day, Maren Thompson took a moment to caress Akiko while working at the Junction CityGeary County Animal Shelter. She bonded with me quickly, Thompson said with a smile about the Shiba Inu dog. For a while, Akiko has enjoyed living in a cozy home with Thompson, a shelter employee, and her husband, Trevor. But there was a time when life was not so easy. Animal Control Officer James Butler has firsthand knowledge about her struggle on the streets of Junction City for a year. She is a precious little animal, he said. During the 2012 winter season, Butler noticed Akiko in the Grant Avenue area. Ive got to get this animal off the street before it gets cold, he once thought. I did not know if it could last through the winter. He pursued it through some trees and to a riverbend. I chased it out there a couple of times, and the second time I was up to

Its a great outcome, compared to what could have happened.

my knees in quicksand, Butler said. A couple of months later, Butler caught another glimpse of Akiko, but he was unsuccessful in catching her. He asked residents in the vicinity and came to a conclusion that Akiko was abandoned by previous owners. No one wanted to take responsibility. As an animal control officer, Butler has to chase the animals for a long time to figure out their pattern. Butler discovered Akiko would hang around a fenced yard occupied by a black Labrador Retriever. Thats where he set a trap using a different approach food. I stopped by one of our restaurants and bought two cheeseburgers, Butler said. After I came back from my lunch hour, she was in the trap. Akiko was finally off the streets. Sometimes it takes me a little while when these animals are streetsmart, Butler said. She lived on her own for almost a year. Akikos story is one of many at the local animal shelter. Each year, the shelter receives an abundance of animals like her. Its stories like these that make this job worth it, said Jennifer Gfeller, shelter director. Its a great outcome, compared to what could have happened.

Although Akiko has found a new home, she still suffers from emotional scars from living on the streets. Its going to take a while for that animal to get back her confidence because her owners abandoned her, Butler said. But I think shes going to turn out really good. The Thompsons wanted a Shiba Inu a couple of years ago, but their apartment living conditions in Germany prevented them from doing so. When Akiko arrived, Thompson filled out the paperwork and jumped on the opportunity. After saying goodbye to a life on abandonment, Akiko caught up on much needed sleep at the shelter and in Thompsons home. Shes now warming up to people and gaining their trust. But now, the challenge is to make her less timid. The other day, I dropped a soda can and she just took off, Thompson said. Gfeller said the hardships pets like Akiko have is a problem across the globe. People are not taking the appropriate steps before they get the animal, she said. Once they get the animal, they need to make a commitment for life, regardless of what happens to Please see Dog, 8A

Fort Riley honors employees at installation awards ceremony

B Y JESSICA H EALEY

1st Infantry Public Affairs

Several Fort Riley garrison employees were honored during an installation awards ceremony for the first quarter of the fiscal year Jan. 27 at Barlow Theater. Staff with the Custer Hill Golf Course accepted a team award on behalf of the facility. This team award is given to the personnel of the Custer Hill Golf Course for the Custer Hill Last Stand golf tournament, said Casey Houghton, operations specialist, Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security and narrator at the event. This event had 91 players, which was the most attended tournament in 2013. It included players from the command group; Jeff Bostic, a retired player from the Washington Redskins; and players from the surrounding area. Without their tireless effort and true dedication, this event would not have been a big success. Five employees were honored as IMCOM Heroes of the Day. Gabriel Gonzalez, Terry Hogan, Galen Davis, Rebekah Zawadski and Ronald Roedel, DPTMS, received the honor. All five employees work at Marshall Army Airfield. Their quick-thinking efforts to reroute a medical evacuation helicopter effectively demonstrated team-

Firefighters need to be able to respond to a wide variety of emergency situations, including getting injured or trapped individuals out of vehicles. On posts like Fort Riley, that means emergency personnel will not only need to save individuals from normal vehicles, but also armored, combat-locked vehicles like HUMVEEs. To that end, soldiers from the Division Headquarters and Headquarters Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, worked with firefighters from the Fort Riley Fire Department Jan. 31 to review how to work with military vehicles in the case of an accident. We have military vehicles and the knowledge on how to do extrication with them, said Sgt. Daniel Cummins, health care noncommissioned officer with the DHHB who led the demonstration in the DHHB motor pool. The fire department doesnt have an opportunity to be able to do this all the time, so we set up some training going around some of the different types of military vehicles, getting some hands-on refresher training so that if anything ever happens out on the tank trails or with one of the military vehicles, they have a good idea of how to do things so we can get people taken care of.

work and commitment to excellence, Houghton said. Ron Stewart, DPTMS, and Herb Abel, environment division, Directorate of Public Works, received the Composite Risk Management award during a special presentation. They have made a large contribution to Army safety, and with the exceptional application of risk management, helped to create an accident-free work environment, Houghton said. Employee of the Quarter went to Hogan. Hogan previously won Employee of the Month for November for his involvement in rerouting the medevac helicopter to land at Marshall Army Airfield. The helicopter was on its way to pick up a patient headed to Kansas City, when it couldnt land at Manhattan Regional Airport due to bad weather. Tony Davis, DPTMS, also was a nominee for Employee of the Quarter. Davis was selected as Employee of the Month for October for his efforts to find creative alternatives in the face of budgets cuts, saving the Army about $83,000. Keith Bruce, DPTMS, also was nominated for Employee of the Quarter, and was previously selected for Employee of the Month for December for his efforts to successfully supply water to Range 18 during a threemonth period of sustainment conflict.

Daggers discuss mission lessons

2nd ABCT Public Affairs

Increasing training flexibility to better suit host nation security forces and being able to build on previous training are some of the key lessons learned by Soldiers with the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat

Team, 1st Infantry Division, as they prepare to hand off their regional alignment mission in Africa to the 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 1st Inf. Div., later this year. More than 30 noncommissioned officers and officers with the Dagger Brigade, ranging from sergeants to the brigade commander, took part in a dis-

cussion Jan. 31 with U.S. Army Africa commander Maj. Gen. Patrick Donahue and U.S. Army Africa top senior enlisted Command Sgt. Maj. Jeffrey Stitzel. The discussion focused on what can be done to improve the training of partnered forces on the continent. A lot of key topics were brought up today on issues

that we had on these missions, said Sgt. Colt Johnson, infantryman, Company B, 1st Battalion, 63rd Armor Regiment, 2nd ABCT, and an Amarillo, Tex., native. Things like follow-up engagements, funding (and) language barriers were key issues, and, hopefully, we get those worked out for the next unit that replaces us.

As the Armys first brigade to be assigned the regional alignment mission, the 2nd ABCT has served as a guinea pig of sorts, learning what has worked and what doesnt work, by conducting more than 100 missions of varying scales in more than 30 countries. The stuff youre doing is very important to the whole

Army, and its very important to Africa, Donahue said. I just cant emphasize that enough. You are doing a great job in being pioneers in this. This is a pilot (program), and it was not a done deal that this RAF concept would work. One of the main topics of discussion was the amount of flexibility in training plans.

Special to the Daily Union

MANHATTAN There are 591 entries from 27 colleges entered in the 58th annual Kansas State University Rodeo. There will be four performances Friday through Sunday at the Weber Arena in Manhattan, according to Doug Muller, K-State University rodeo team coach. Sponsored by the 40-member strong K-State Rodeo Club, rodeo action kicks off at 7:30 Friday evening, designated as a Tough Enough To Wear Pink performance, in order to benefit cancer awareness and research. The Saturday matinee starts at 1 p.m. and has been designated as Kids Day, with children getting in free by bringing one non-perishable food item for the Flint Hills Breadbasket. A K-State Rodeo Queen Pageant, led by 2013 K-State Rodeo Queen Lindy Singular and her court, starts the Saturday evening performance at 6:45 p.m. From the first three performances, the 10 contestants in each of the nine college events, sanctioned by the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA), will compete in the Sunday afternoon short goround finals at 1 p.m. Sunday will be Military Appreciation Day with complimentary rodeo tickets for those serving in the military, and sharp ticket price discounts for their family members, Muller said.

To me, religious freedom is under attack in this country, Rothlisberg said. The bill has been approved by the Kansas House of Representatives, and is now referred to the Senate Committee on Judiciary. The bill does not apply to corporations, he said. According to the bill, HB 2453, individuals or religious entities would be able to refuse to provide any services, accommodations, advantages, facilities, goods, or privileges; provide counseling, adoption, foster care, and other social services; or provide employment or employment benefits, related to, or related to the celebration of, any marriage, domestic partnership, civil union or similar arrangement. It would also allow churches to refuse to perform same-sex marriages, if against their religious beliefs.

Special to the Daily Union

The bulls were the winners, percentage-wise. That was the final analysis after the recent 2014 Kansas State University Invitational Bull Bash, sponsored by the K-State Rodeo Club at Weber Arena on the north end campus. But five cowboys did more than their share to bring the cowboys versus bulls average up. There were 16 quali-

fied bull rides in three go rounds for a 22.85 percent riding average, said scorekeeper Kelly Forell, of Alva, Okla. That makes for a good show for the audience, but also shows the high caliber of livestock. Thirty contestants from seven states rode in the competition. Six cowboys made the

eight-second whistle in the first go-round, and eight qualified in the second goround. Three cowboys made the whistle on both of their bulls in the first two gorounds. But, the top 10 scores from both rounds, including seven riders with just one scored ride, came back for the final go-round.

Scott Grover, also a professional rodeo announcer and K-State alumnus, will be in a return engagement calling the western action. Several additional attractions are planned in conjunction with the rodeo, according to Muller. A rodeo kickoff party is set Wednesday evening, featuring a concert by Aaron Watson, with special guest Cody Johnson, at RC McGraws in Manhattan. On Thursday evening, a jackpot team roping benefitting the K-State Rodeo Club, and open to all college rodeo contestants, is planned by Cindy Browns JC Rodeo Livestock at the Hatcher Indoor Arena, north of Strong City. Rodeo dances are also scheduled at RC McGraws following both the Friday and Saturday evening performances. Because there are so many contestants, some of the slack, especially in barrel racing and breakaway roping, will be on Friday and Saturday mornings. We have 112 contestants in barrels, 110 in breakaway and 98 teams in team roping, Muller said.

Venezuela leader expels US officials amid protests

CARACAS, Venezuela President Nicolas Maduros government on Monday gave three U.S. Embassy officials 48 hours to leave the country, accusing the Obama administration of siding with student protesters who Venezuela accuses of inciting violence. The announcement by Foreign Minister Elias Jaua came amid fears that renewed clashes could erupt Tuesday when both pro- and anti-government activists have announced plans for demonstrations in the capital. Foreign Minister Elias Jaua said that the senior U.S. consular officers were trying to infiltrate Venezuelan universities, the hotbed of the recent unrest, under the cover of doing visa outreach. Repeating charges by Maduro, who has expelled American diplomats twice before, Jaua said that the U.S. is conspiring with opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez and student activists in an attempt to oust the socialist president. The U.S. has denied the charges but is expressing concern about rising violence that led to three deaths last week during anti-government demonstrations, and about the governments attempts to block peaceful protests. Secretary of State John Kerry said Saturday that Lopezs arrest would have a chilling effect on Venezuelans right to free expression. More than 1,000 students, who have spent the past week on the streets alternating between peaceful protests by day and battles with police at night, marched on Monday to Venezuelas telecommunications regulator to demand it lift all restrictions on the news medias coverage of the unfolding political crisis. There were no reports of new disturbances. Several journalists were harassed and detained, and Colombias news channel NTN24 was taken off cable television, while covering protests Wednesday that ended in a battle between student demonstrators and security forces backed by armed pro-government militias. Three people were killed two students and a progovernment demonstrator. News videos and photographs taken at the time indicate that at least one of the students was killed when militias fired directly at protesters. Maduro accuses Lopez of being behind the violence and the head of a fascist plot to overthrow him two months after his partys candidates won mayoral elections by a landslide. In a rally with thousands of supporters Saturday Maduro dared Lopez, a Harvard-trained former mayor, to turn himself in after a court ordered his arrest on charges ranging from vandalism of public property to homicide. Lopez said that he doesnt fear going to jail to defend his beliefs. In a video message Sunday, he called on supporters to march with him in white shirts to the Interior Ministry, where hell deliver a petition demanding the government protect citizens rights to peacefully protest. I havent committed any crime, said Lopez, who hasnt been seen in public since a Wednesday night news conference after the bloodshed. If there is a decision to legally throw me in jail Ill submit myself to this persecution. To avoid another violent clash, Lopez aides on Monday rerouted their upcoming protest away from the central plaza in Caracas monopolies in Argentina. Clarin now has 30 days to present separate buyers that meet government approval for each of the groups six parts. Sabbatella said in a statement that the government will defend Clarins right to inform and make opinions, but not its capacity to impose itself like an economic and monopolistic giant to manipulate public opinion and put conditions on the democracy. Grupo Clarin said in a statement that it will follow the 2009 law, which was upheld by Argentinas Supreme Court last year. The group currently has a dominant position among inde pendent Argentine media through its cable TV systems, broadcast television and radio stations and Internet access providers as well as its flagship Clarin newspaper and many other publications.

where a competing march of pro-government oil workers will talk place. Maduro called for the Tuesday march in a televised address Sunday in which he blasted the U.S. for trying to stir unrest to regain dominance of South Americas largest oil producer. As evidence to support those claims, Jaua on Monday presented what he said was a series of e-mails from embassy officials from 20092011 soliciting funding from Washington to support student groups in Venezuela. He said more recent communications also exist, but are under wraps during an ongoing investigation. The three expelled officials Breeann Marie McCusker, Jeffrey Gordon Elsen and Kristofer Lee Clark all enjoyed the rank of second secretary, and two of them were vice consuls, Jaua said. In Washington, the State Department said it hadnt received any formal notification of the expulsions. It said reports that the U.S. is helping to organize protests are baseless and false and called on the Venezuelan government to engage the opposition in meaningful dialogue.

Teen girl located safe in home county

GALLATIN, Mo. Authorities have canceled an endangered-person for a 14-year-old girl after finding her safe in her northwest Missouri home county. The Daviess (DAY-vihs) County Sheriffs Office issued the alert late Sunday, believing the teen might have been headed to Wichita, Kan., with a 17-year-old boy. The advisory was issued when the pair failed to return to Daviess County after traveling to neighboring Grundy County on Saturday. No further details about the case were released Monday afternoon.

Another view Americas drone program needs to keep flying

The following editorial appeared in the Chicago Tribune on Friday, Feb. 14.
here is much we dont know about the American citizen who is the target of a potential U.S. drone strike in Pakistan. He is believed to be associated with al-Qaida. He reportedly has been involved in plotting attacks against the United States. His name hasnt been revealed, but we imagine he is avoiding rooftops and other open-air venues that have proven fatal to other terror chiefs. What we know is that U.S. government officials have been debating since last summer whether to authorize a strike against the man. Whats taking so long? If he poses an imminent threat, this debate should take hours or days, not months. Theres a lot of speculation about this saunter to judgment. It could be that the United States still is deciding whether it is lawful to target this American citizen on foreign soil. Under a new drone policy announced by President Barack Obama last year, the Justice Department now reviews decisions to add Americans to overseas drone target lists. Officials still may be building a convincing case that the suspect is a serious threat to American security, even though one former U.S. official told The Wall Street Journal that the CIA already has concluded that he meets the criteria for a drone strike. Another possible reason for delay: The strike would need to be launched by the CIA, not the Pentagon as U.S. leaders prefer, because Pakistan refuses to allow open American military action on its territory. The danger: One of Americas most effective anti-terrorist programs may be strangled by red tape. At a congressional hearing last week, U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, the Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said: Individuals who would have been previously removed from the battlefield by U.S. counterterrorism operations for attacking or plotting to attack against U.S. interests remain free because of self-imposed red tape. The new rules, Rogers said, are endangering the lives of Americans at home and our military overseas in a way that is frustrating to our allies and frustrating to those of us who engage in the oversight of our classified activities. We cant think of a more dangerous prospect than U.S. drones tangled in bureaucracy and political second-guessing, missing the chance to eliminate al-Qaida and Taliban terrorists. Last May, Obama defended the extraordinarily effective drone program while promising to narrow its scope and increase oversight and transparency. We supported that decision. But we also warned: The United States risks losing the advantage of surprise if individual drone strikes become entangled in slow-motion bureaucracy back home. We fear U.S. warriors shrinking from what in effect are battlefield decisions because they have one eye on Congress, or judges, or some other overseer who is not their commander in chief. Granted, American officials need to choose targets carefully in Afghanistan and Pakistan because drone strikes are politically unpopular and pols arent keen on allowing bases for American drones. Pakistans top leaders have loudly denounced drone strikes as a violation of their countrys sovereignty. When a U.S. drone strike killed Pakistans Public Enemy No. 1 terrorist last year, Pakistans interior minister official called it _ astonishingly _ the murder of all efforts at peace. Never mind that the Taliban used those alleged peace negotiations to rearm and launch even deadlier attacks against Pakistan security forces and citizens. Afghan President Hamid Karzai also has spoken out against drone strikes. Karzai has refused to sign a security agreement negotiated last year by the U.S. and his government. Obama has threatened to yank all American troops by the end of the year, including a counterterrorism force, if Karzai doesnt sign. Better strategy: Wait until a new president is elected in April. Hell sign. If the U.S pulled its forces from Afghanistan, drone bases in that country likely would have to be shuttered. Al-Qaida and Taliban terrorists across a wide expanse of mountainous territory on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border could stop nervously glancing at the skies. Thats why the drones need to keep flying. If theyre in the cross hairs, so is the security of America and its allies.

ReFresh Friday new pastime among insiders

B Y M AR TIN H AWVER

heres a new pastime among Kansas Statehouse insiders were calling it ReFresh Friday. Huh? Yes, its the act of hitting the refresh button on your computer to see whether the Kansas Supreme Court has issued at about 9:30 a.m. on any Friday, along with its other decisions, the Gannon v. Kansas school finance case decision. Because the 9:30 a.m. release time is not precise (thats why you have to ReFresh the court website frequently, and we figured the odd capitalization might give someone an idea for a T-shirt, plus ReFresh Friday makes a nice companion day to Throwback Thursday, the day you post old photos on social media), you hit the button over and over again to check. Catching the first glimpse of the decision that might order the state to spend upwards of $440 million on school finance is something that will carry bragging rights no matter which way the decision goes. A decision that the state has underfunded its support for K-12 education sets off a battle between the Legislature, the governor and the courts over who is responsible for financing educa-

MARTIN HAWVER
Commentary tion and whether the court can order the state to actually pay a judgment handed down by the court. It gets into tricky constitutional law, whether the Supreme Court can order the Legislature to make an appropriation. A no-harm, no-foul ruling? A possibility, too. But the legislative anxiety over the decision and being the first to know it has apparently spurred a couple of bills that target the Kansas Supreme Court and specifically its Chief Justice, Lawton Nuss, for a trim of his authority. One of those bills flatly orders that no court in Kansas can spend any money on hiring lobbyists. Not a lot of court-hired lobbyists around the Statehouse, lobbying, for, say, nicer robes, or maybe softer chairs, but its a little tug on the leash for the Kansas judiciary. Another takes from the chief justice the authority to designate the chief judge of each of the states 31 judicial

districts. Thats a little perk of being chief justice, designating the district court chiefs. The bill would have the judges in each district vote among themselves for the job of being in charge, and making an extra $1,000 a year. The bill would also have the 14-member Court of Appeals elect its own chief judge just another diminution of the chief justices authority that might lead to some interesting little campaigns that the general public will never hear about. And, of course there are the resolutions that would let the governor choose his own Supreme Court justices without any nomination commission in the way and another that would elect those justices. Oh, and did we mention that the Supreme Court needs a little extra money in its budget to avoid furloughs for its non-judge staff ? Makes you wonder how hard some legislators are hitting that ReFresh button, doesnt it?

My Take

and throughout much of the state had scheduled public hearings in the proverbial ditch this past week. In the coming weeks of the legislature we will see crowded hearing rooms and tight scheduling to bring the winter legislative session to a close within the allocated 90 days. This pause does allow legislators to work on bills and other government activities that are important to our constituents. What I have noticed over time is that most laws and regulations do not need to be tampered with, but rather, some agencies need to be more responsive and logical. If you have an issue with how state government is working for you, I hope you will contact me for assistance. My recent personal work has been on helping Kansas Watershed districts work through an obstacle with the U.S. Corps of Engineers, checking that the Smoke Management Plan is working for Flint Hills ranchers, helping the Kansas Horse Council get their own personalized license plate, meeting with Kansas Department of Transportation leaders about road issues, working through a volume of fixes to

our statutes to help public safety, studying the future of net metering for home produced renewable energy and in building relationships with my colleagues to further good public policy going forward.

The one significant legislation that has completed the hurdles in the House of Representatives is a relook at a law that allows doctors to have access to affordable malpractice coverage. Kansas in 1976 developed the Health Care Stabilization Fund, which helps bring certainty to the malpractice insurance market. The fund brings together a group of high risk insures to help reduce the cost of claims. Without protections like this, the high cost of malpractice insurance could force health workers to leave Kansas. The fund collects a portion of premiums paid and uses these to help stabilize the insurance market. In

Healthcare Stabilization Fund

1988 the state placed malpractice caps on noneconomic damages at $250,000. The new law increases the cap to $300,000 and expands the program to change the definition of health care providers to include nurse assistants, advanced nurse practitioners, and charitable health care providers such as nursing homes. It also addresses tail coverage, which protects doctors against claims after they have retired and given up their license. The ice behind you is not what will hurt you. I remain committed to looking after the interests of Herington, Chase, Geary and Morris counties, the state and all my constituents. It is an honor to serve as your Representative. If you have any questions or concerns, budget or otherwise, please contact me my Topeka office at (785) 296-7689 or by email at tom. moxley@house.ks.gov.

Bills shift Kansas investment policy on Sudan, Iran

TOPEKA Kansas would lift restrictions on investments by its largest public pension fund in companies that do business in Sudan but impose new limits on investments in companies that do business with Iran under proposals reviewed by a legislative committee Monday. The House Pensions and Benefits Committee has two separate bills dealing with investments by the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System, the pension system for teachers, state workers and many local government employees. KPERS has about $4.5 billion in international investments. The panel took no action on either measure. One bill repeals a 2007 state law preventing KPERS from investing in companies that have oil, mining or energy interests in Sudan, have supplied military equipment in Sudan or have a demonstrated complicity in widespread killing in the Darfur region. Kansas enacted the law in response to violence in Darfur. Chairman Steve Johnson, an Assaria Republican, said the bill gives the House committee a chance to consider whether the policy is still appropriate, given the creation of South Sudan in an independence vote in 2011. However, the new African nation has been wracked by violence between pro- and anti-government forces since December. KPERS officials said investment restrictions come both with small administrative costs and the potential for losses as the pension system divests. Alan Conroy, the systems executive director, said KPERS already follows rules imposed by U.S. economic sanctions involving various nations, including Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Sudan and Syria. We think the federal government is in the best position to set foreign policy, Conroy said after the committees meeting. The bill on investments in Iran is being pushed by Rep. Scott Schwab, an Olathe Republican. It would require KPERS to divest from companies that have invested more than $20 million a year in Irans oil industry since 1996, if those firms decline to lessen their presence in the Islamic republic. Schwab said Kansas should do what it can to pressure Iran into abandoning its nuclear program. The U.S. and its allies believe the program is designed to produce a nuclear weapon, something Iranian leaders deny. Also, Schwab said the bill is in line with policies advocated by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and is meant as a strong pro-Israel statement. The Kansas House last week unanimously approved a non-binding resolution declaring Israel the greatest friend and ally of the United States in the Middle East. The resolution also said peace will not come to the region without a whole and united Israel. We use what we can use to, one, make sure funds are not being used in Iran to threaten Israel and, also, to threaten our troops across seas, because Iran will fund attacks on U.S. interests, Schwab said.

Students lobby against sex ed bills

TOPEKA College students lobbied Kansas legislators on Monday to reject bills that would change the way parents approve student access to sex education courses and materials. The bills would require school districts to receive parental or guardian consent before students would receive sex education instruction or access to materials. Currently, consent requirements are left to local districts. Students from the University of Kansas, Emporia State University and Wichita State University were lobbying Monday to encourage legislators to reject the changes, arguing they would ignore the wishes of local communities. The students are members of campus Choice USA, a national abortionrights organization that speaks out on reproductive rights issues. The students lobby in Topeka each session and chose the sex education bill

as their focus this year. We feel like its a legislative overreach to put a statewide mandate on this, said Paul Brink, a Wichita State senior majoring in economics and political science. The House bill will be heard Tuesday in the education committee. The Senate bill awaits a hearing. Both bills were introduced by Sen. Mary Pilcher-Cook, a Shawnee Republican, who was concerned about what materials are put in front of students. Legislators say theyve heard reports of classroom and hallway posters suggesting sexual ways individuals could express their love for someone else. The materials, Pilcher-Cook said, were put up with parents knowledge. The bill would put parents back in control of what their children are being taught and the manner that it is being taught, she said. Brink said districts should retain control over the issue based on

community norms. A lot of families really dont talk about that and we dont want students to fall through the cracks, Brink said. Brink, who graduated from Jefferson West High School, described his upbringing as very conservative in which sexuality wasnt a frequent topic at home. His school had an opt-out policy, meaning parents had to notify the school that their student wouldnt be receiving sex education.

The task force will study whether human activity is causing an increase in minor earthquakes in Kansas. Kansas has seen increased fracking for oil and gas extraction in recent years in southern counties. The region is also seeing an increase in the number of small earthquakes that scientists have said could be caused by the returning of waste fluids back into the ground during the process.

Governor creates panel to study seismology

TOPEKA Gov. Sam Brownback has asked the director of the Kansas Geological Survey to lead a task force to develop a plan for increased earthquake activity possibly related to Kansas oil and gas activities. The Republican governor on Monday named Rex Buchanan to lead the task force, which will meet in April in Wichita.

Common Core foe: Get feds out of education

TOPEKA An eastern Kansas Republican who is the main proponent of a House measure that would nullify Common Core reading and math standards in the state admits he hasnt read whats in them. Rep. Willie Dove said told the Lawrence JournalWorld that the real impetus for House Bill 2621 is his belief that the federal government shouldnt be involved in education.

Sexual assailant still accepted

The Daily Union. Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2014

Dennis the Menace

Marmaduke

Dear Annie: My sisters husband sexually assaulted my 18-year-old daughter while she slept on their sofa. We kept this a secret for three years, and then it finally came out. When my sister heard, she decided to protect her children from the truth about their father by divorcing my family so we would not reveal the secret. She claimed her husband was blacked-out drunk and therefore not responsible for the assault. Because there was no intent (presumably), he wasnt at fault. That was four years ago. My sisters sons are the same age as mine, and they used to spend many nights together. To add salt to our wounds, the rest of my family supports her decision. They no longer take my kids to her house or to her childrens birthday parties. They never tell us when my sister is at their home. They celebrate holidays with her family before visiting us. My kids and I are completely torn up over all of this and so deeply wounded, not only by the loss of my sisters family, but also by the lack of support from the rest of them. I dont understand how my parents and my other siblings could possibly support her decision. Are we wrong to feel betrayed and abandoned? We are about ready to wash our hands of the lot of them, although it isnt what we want. My parents and siblings have told me that this is the new normal and that my family should be grateful for the times they see us instead of focusing on the times when we arent included. It feels as if we are being punished because my daughters assault was not that bad and she wasnt willing to shove it under the rug for the rest of her life. Open for Input Dear Open: We understand that your parents and siblings dont want to lose contact with your sister by openly supporting you. They know she would cut all of them off. Instead, this is the accommodation they have made in order to have a relationship with everyone. The real problem is that your sister and her husband refuse to address the assault, never apologized or tried to make amends, and blamed you and your daughter for bringing it up. We also dont know whether her husband has ever dealt with his drinking, which is no excuse for attacking another person. You will not get the sup-

Annies mailbox
port you deserve from your family. Either accept what they offer or dont. But please make sure your daughter is dealing with this in a healthy way. Contact RAINN (rainn.org) for information and help. Dear Annie: My in-laws, whom I adore, do not have soap in their bathrooms. My husband and I take soap when we go to visit, but that doesnt change the fact that no one else washes their hands after using the restroom. They then proceed to prepare meals that we are supposed to eat. We have tried sending decorative soap dispensers and asking Wheres the soap? but nothing changes. Clean Freak Dear Clean: Everyone should wash with soap and water after using the bathroom and especially before preparing food. It helps prevent the spread of germs, some of which can be quite harmful. Have you asked your inlaws why they dont wash properly? If nothing changes, send them this letter and tell them that Annie says they need to use soap before someone gets sick, fer cryin out loud. Dear Annie: Kudos to Tapped Out for complaining about checkout line panhandling. Its happening nearly everywhere. Why should I have to deal with solicitors when I just want to buy a hamburger? Management may think it makes their companies look good, but it causes me to go elsewhere until the campaign is over. Already Give 15 Percent to Charity

ARIES (March 21April 19). If you like your work quite a bit, increased responsibility and longer hours will bring more enjoyment to your life. Before you take on anything new, consider how much you are enjoying what you already do. TAURUS (April 20May 20). An informal approach to a formal situation will prove a mistake and could be taken as a sign of disrespect. Whereas, a formal approach to an informal situation will be seen as an interesting stylistic choice. GEMINI (May 21June 21). Start by choosing your focus. Family, work, relationships or finance are all favored focuses, but you have to choose only one. Thats the right number to get settled into a groove and move quickly forward. CANCER (June 22July 22). Holding too many negative thoughts in your mind is like too much water in a boat: It will sink you. Start bailing out some of the less than buoyant ideas and replacing them with hope. Hope floats! LEO (July 23Aug. 22). Friends make bad situations bearable and good situations even better. Whether your plan is for work or play, you stand to make it better by getting friends in on the action. VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22). Youre changing, and your social needs will change right along with the transformation. No matter how many friends you already have, its worthwhile to seek good company.

Listen for the little voice inside that tells you what that thing is. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Strangers will find you intriguing, attractive and perhaps even cool. You may decide to make it difficult for them to get to know you, and this strategy will serve to make them even more eager to do so. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Consider reading about a famous person who has had similar ambitions to your own. Youll learn much from the triumphs and errors of public personalities. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Your appreciation for and care of nature is a highly attractive quality. A lover of animals, they will gravitate to you now, and you could even find yourself taking responsibility for a stray. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Those who assume they are doing you a favor by instructing you will get a surprise. You dont like to be told what to do unless you asked for the advice.

man added the city likely would seek a water and sewer rate analysis, revenue bonds, low-interest loans and grants. Junction City residents could see reasonable increases in their water bills as the projects begin to unfold. We are not looking to bring before the commission, or before the citizens, substantial rate increases, McCaffery said. Smith said no other city obligations would be cut to help pay for the projects. Responses to the sticker shock some citizens may see when looking at the millions of dollars in recommended work were the first reactions from commissioners. For a city with a $150 million debt load, how to pay for projects is a reason for concern. At its regular meeting Tuesday, the commission will consider whether to hire a professional consultant to complete a water and sewer rate analysis to function as a financial business plan for about $45,000. The plan will guide the city through completing the recommended projects, addressing continued maintenance needs, debt obligations and capital needs of the water and wastewater systems. It has to be done in a way that is very methodical and very correct way, Smith said of the plan. If approved, McCaffery said, the hope would be to have a business plan in place in April, followed by recommendations for engineering and design in May or June, and the start of construction in early 2015. Were looking at a very aggressive schedule, McCaffery said. After the sticker shock came frustration and some anger over how the facilities deteriorated to this point in the first place. The facilities, Lindeman said, were constructed at separate times and upgraded separately if at all. The water treatment facility never was upgraded, though it was built in 1989.

A closer look at costs
HDR considered phase one projects top priorities, phase two were projects needs and phase three were projects the city likely should complete. The firm provided cost estimates for projects during each phase. The initial phase at the water treatment plant called for $13.86 million in projects. Phase twos price tag came in at $4.73 million and phase three at about $5.71 million. At the southwest wastewater treatment plant, phase one projects could cost an estimated $8.29 million, phase two could cost $11.32 million and phase three could cost $6.63 million. As for the east wastewater treatment plant, phase one projects could cost $4.1 million, phase two projects could cost $3.59 million and phase three projects could cost $4.68 million. The city also began outsourcing its water and wastewater operations in 1989. (The city) didnt have the labor or the skill set, Lindeman said. Veolia Water currently is contracted to operate the citys three treatment plants. Somewhere along the line, timely maintenance and proper upgrades were left undone. The blame game, McCaffery said, wont get anyone anywhere. You can point the finger all you want, he said. The fact of the matter is were here today. However, Commissioner Jim Sands said he was upset because the facilities hadnt been properly cared for and didnt get like this overnight. Im pointing a finger, he said. Somebodys done some crappy inspection. Sands added the future projects should include a maintenance plan moving forward. Though the process doesnt get easier from here, at least the ball is rolling. We now have the information and we can start the conversation, Mayor Cecil Aska said. The informations just the tip of the iceberg. The training also could relate to shared equipment, if that agreement is approved by the parties.

First night a hit for Tonight host Fallon

By The Associated Press
Will Smith and the rock group U2. But all that was ahead. First, his viewers beheld his new set, boasting burnished-wood paneling and panoramic blue curtains. They had seen his filmed opening Jimmy as the New York nightcrawler shot by director Spike Lee. They discovered that his band, the Roots, had grown by two from its already husky eight pieces. Then out he came, to thunderous applause, and planted himself on his mark (a four-leaf clover) to deliver his first monologue. Im Jimmy Fallon, he began, and, with a nod to past late-night turbulence that most recently saw his Tonight predecessor, Jay Leno, make an unsought exit, he added, Ill be your host for now. He expressed gratitude for his new gig, introduced his parents in the studio audience, and dispensed love in every direction and made it sound authentic. He had a few Olympics jokes, one offering sympathy to NBC sportscaster Bob Costas, who was sidelined from several days of Olympics coverage with a blinding bout of pinkeye. You could tell he was having trouble when he spent half-an-hour interviewing a mop he thought was Shaun White, Fallon cracked. Back at his desk, he voiced what seemed like an aside: To my buddy who said that Id never be the host of The Tonight Show and you know who you are you owe me a hundred bucks, buddy. With that, Robert De Niro burst through the curtain and plunked a hundred dollars on Fallons desk. But that wasnt all. In rapid succession, a parade of other celebs circled through right behind him. They included Joe Namath, Rudolph Giuliani, Lindsay Lohan, Lady Gaga, Mike Tyson, Stephen Colbert and Sarah Jessica Parker. Joan Rivers was also among them, repaying her debt and making a bit of history in the bargain: 49 years earlier to the day, the veteran comedian had made her first appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in that very studio, and had not appeared on Tonight since 1987, when she was banned by Carson after jumping to Fox to host her own short-lived show.

NEW YORK If Jimmy Fallon had already proven he was a natural hosting NBCs Late Night, he left no doubt Monday that The Tonight Show now fits him like a glove. As promised during the much-promoted run-up to his Tonight Show debut, Fallon made no drastic changes to the Late Night formula that had served him for five years. He remained funny, gracious, bubbly and, above all, comfortable presiding over a show that was different mostly for its earlier time slot, its classier production values and legendary brand name. We can book people from the West Coast?! he joked at his newfound status. He did pretty well with his bookings on opening night:

Unknown subject flees from police

B Y D AILY U NION S TAF F

An unknown subject who led Junction City police on a brief chase in a reportedly stolen vehicle remains at large after escaping on foot at about 12 a.m. Monday. The incident occurred in the 1900 block of Deer Trail where an officer

attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a speeding vehicle, a police report stated. Following a pursuit, the unidentified subject eventually stopped the vehicle. Police stated the vehicle sustained minor damage upon hitting a curb. The subject then fled the area on foot and remained at large as of late Monday evening.

Police later received a call from the vehicles owner, who wanted to report the vehicle as stolen. The owner responded to the police station to file a motor vehicle theft report. The vehicle was towed to the Junction City Police Departments warehouse. No further information was released.

Chapman offering free pet registration through March

CHAPMAN Police Chief Emil Halfhill is working to make registration a habit for pet owners in town by offering free tags for a limited time. I intend to flood the market with information, Halfhill said. It hasnt been addressed in so many years. The Chapman City Council approved to waive pet licensing fees until April 1. If I can entice people to come get their animals registered, maybe we can get this process started and get people into the habit to

that animal. If a pet owner has to give up the animal, Gfeller said the streets should not be an option. These are not wild animals, Gfeller said. These are domesticated animals who cannot survive for long on their own. These are companion animals and they want to be around people and bond with people. They should never feel like they should have to fend for themselves.

The other two interlocal agreements expected to be considered tonight are a training cooperation agreement and a equipment sharing agreement. Both would be between Junction City, Geary County, Fort Riley, Manhattan and Riley County. A memo from city attorney Katie Logan to the commission states the agreements have been discussed by attorneys for each party, although issues concerning insurance still need to be ironed out. However, the attorneys have agreed on a form of an interlocal mutual training agreement, Logan states in the memo. The agreement would be for five years, but would allow any party to withdraw at any time. The parties could provide training opportunities on a space available basis, the memo states, but wouldnt be required to do so. If training is made available, it would be at no cost.

The Flint Hills Rotary Club has requested permission from the city to place a permanent stone memorial honoring all veterans of past wars in Heritage Park. Should the commission approve the request, the club plans to raise funds with other area veterans organizations to pay for the installation of a $30,000 memorial. The proposed memorial would be mounted on a concrete base measuring about seven feet wide and five feet tall. It would be placed north of the current Vietnam Memorial along the Washington Street side of the park. A description provided to city commissioners states the memorial would depict engraved seals in remembrance of all Prisoners of War-Missing in Action, Killed in Action and Wounded in Action veterans. The memorials rear would be engraved with two poems honoring veterans and brotherhood. The project would be privately funded with no cost to the city.

get their tags, Halfhill said. Last year, Halfhill said the city had 116 animal complaints. In 2012, 79 tags were issued, and 68 were issued in 2013. So far in 2014, 13 have been issued. To help promote awareness, Mills Veterinary Service LLC is offering reduced vaccinations March 8 at the Chapman City Fire Department, 402 N. Marshall St. According to the city pet ordinance, cats and dogs will be registered and owners shall be charged $2 for each animal spayed or neutered. It also states owners of animals not spayed or neutered will be charged $5 per pet.

Halfhill said its not about the city making a profit off of registration. Rather, the problem is the time and money city officials spend on housing animals in Abilene. I dont think citizens realize how costly it is, per day, for those animals being housed, City Council member Luan Sparks said. Its more expensive than if we had someone in a hotel in Junction City overnight. During the meeting, city officials said a three-day stay in Abilene could cost the city about $300, plus other fees for processes such as euthanasia. The ordinance also states each animal not registered

by March 1 each year will be charged an additional late fee of $2. Currently, the fees have been waived until April 1. After April 1, residents violating the ordinance will be charged both the regular and late fees. In addition, possible charges through the Chapman Police Department may be filed for failing to register the animal. Those charges could include a possible fine of $25 and a court cost of $95. Residents should bring a current rabies vaccination during the registration process at the Chapman Municipal Building at 402 N. Marshall St.

In brief
MLB
The Kansas City Royals claimed switch-hitting outfielder Jimmy Paredes off waivers Monday from the Baltimore Orioles. Paredes, 25, has played in 118 games in the majors for the Houston Astros since 2011. He hit .192 with four doubles, a home run and 10 RBIs in 125 at-bats last season with the Astros. Paredes, who was originally signed by the New York Yankees in 2007, is with his third organization this offseason. He was claimed off waivers by the Miami Marlins in November and the Orioles on Saturday. To make room for Paredes on the 40-man roster, the Royals designated for assignment righthanded pitcher Maikel Cleto, who was 1-2 with a 3.55 ERA in 19 appearances in 2013 with Triple-A Omaha.

The celebration surrounding the Junction City boys basketball teams win last Friday against Washburn Rural was short lived. It broke the Blue Jays eight-game losing streak, but as relief washed across the Shenk gym, the focus quickly shifted to the next task arguably the biggest of the regular season a matchup with rival Manhattan. The Indians got the best when the two teams met on Jan. 17 in Junction City, when the Blue Jays game-winning shot fell off target. Today, Junction City (5-1, 3-5) travels up to Manhattan (9-6, 4-4) in search of a different result. We have momentum, senior Jonathan Wilds said after practice Monday. We just beat Washburn and that just makes the game even better. It makes the game more intense just because its Manhattan and Junction City. Thats the big game of the year. Everyone is going to be out there and its going to be a show. The first game marked the start of the Blue Jays mid-season slump.

The 27-year-old Yoon had a 73-59 record with a 3.19 ERA in nine seasons with the KIA Tigers in the Korean Baseball Organization. Yoon is expected to compete for a spot in Baltimores starting rotation. The deal was announced on Monday. To make room on the 40-man roster, the Orioles waived outfielder Jimmy Paredes, who was claimed by Kansas City. Baltimore claimed Paredes on Saturday.

fan support, he said. Leave it to his teammates to describe the best game of his career. He takes good shots in a rhythm, and he always looks for his teammates, said Andrew Wiggins, who added 17 points. He was aggressive all game, attacking the hoop, making 3s. He did everything. Ellis also had eight rebounds and five assists while shooting 13 of 15 from the field. Fantastic game, said Wayne Selden Jr., who scored 15 for the Jayhawks. Playing without injured center Joel Embiid and suspended forward Brannen Greene, Kansas (19-6, 10-2 Big 12) got off to a slow start but still managed to take a 47-40 lead into the break. The Jayhawks then used a 13-1 charge out of the locker room to put away the Horned Frogs. TCU (9-15, 0-12) still has not won since knocking off Texas Southern on Dec. 29. Kyan Anderson did all he could, scoring 21 of his 25 points in the

first half. Amric Fields added 12 points, but otherwise a team thats been depleted by injuries much of the season wasnt able to hang with the impressive depth of the Jayhawks. You know what? I thought we competed as well as we have for a while, TCU coach Trent Johnson said. Kyan did a really, really good job of keeping us in the game in the first half, but theyre really good. Theyre really good. Embiid, who has emerged as one of the nations top NBA prospects, has been dealing with ankle and back injuries that have limited his floor time the last several weeks. He didnt practice in the run-up to TCU and wound up watching from the bench, though he routinely leaped out of his seat to celebrate the myriad of alleyoop dunks that highlighted the Jayhawks second half. Self said he should be available Tuesday at Texas Tech. Greene, a freshman swingman, also is expected back after sitting out for what Self called a slippage from a responsibility standpoint. Reserve forward Jamari Traylor got back on the court for Kansas and finished with a career-

high 10 points and eight rebounds. The sophomore was held out of Monday nights overtime loss to Kansas State for what Self also had described as irresponsible behavior. The two of them spoke Thursday and Self decided to let Traylor play. Self turned to Traylor when Tarik Black, who started in Embiids place, picked up two fouls in the opening 2 minutes. It was part of a miserable early

stretch for Kansas that included a 1-for-7 performance from the foul line and very little defense. Of course, the Horned Frogs had a hand in that performance. Anderson was 7 of 8 from the field and 5 for 5 from the foul line in the first half, and TCU which came in shooting a Big 12-worst 40.9 percent was hitting at a 56.5-percent clip. Its all rhythm, Anderson

said. We put pretty good pressure on them in the first half. Then the second half started, and the Jayhawks began playing above the rim. Black, Wiggins and Selden each were on the finishing end of alley-oop passes during what turned into a 23-5 run, giving Kansas a 70-45 lead midway through the second half. Johnson burned through a series of timeouts, but none seemed to quiet a star-studded crowd that included several NBA stars and Barbara Eden of I Dream of Jeannie fame. The Jayhawks started to empty the bench with about five minutes left, shortly after Ellis knocked down a 3-pointer from the corner and the crowd started chanting his name. He was great, Self said. He made shots, stretched it, then made mid-range shots, took the ball strong to the hole. I think one of his two misses he got back. He was without question our best player today. Other guys played well offensively, but certainly nobody played like Perry.

SURPRISE, Ariz. Jeremy Guthrie toured Spain with catcher Salvador Perez and climbed Chinas Great Wall before reporting to the Kansas City Royals camp. Guthrie, who led the Royals with 15 victories last season, said he has been to 18 countries, but this was his initial trip to China. He was with several other players representing Major League Baseball in giving clinics and promoting the game. I saw a few players that are very talented and would have a chance to come over here and play professionally and I think sooner than later, Guthrie said Monday. Thats the whole goal of the Major League Baseball center to have the game grow. It certainly takes a native player of that country to really spark interest in the sport. China is even more like that any country, like Li Na, the tennis player. The country is crazy for tennis now because of her. A baseball player in the Major Leagues, a native to China, will send shock waves through that country and excite them even more for baseball. Its in its infancy over there for sure, the game of baseball. Guthrie walked on the Great Wall. That really for me was No. 1 on my list, Guthrie said. It was something I always wanted to do was go to China and go on the Great Wall, so I was very excited. Guthrie has gone the past four years to Spain, where he spent a two-year missionary trip when he was 19-to21 for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I invited Salvy to come over with me, which was great to see the country and teach baseball. I have a great affection for the Spanish culture and the people there. I think Salvy really loved it. He had never been to Europe before and so it a real awesome experience. We were together at a hotel in Barcelona when they announced he won the Gold Glove.

Kansas City Royals Jeremy Guthrie throws to first during spring training Saturday in Surprise, Ariz.
Guthrie established career highs in victories and innings, 211 2-3, while posting a 4.04 ERA last season. It was the first time Guthrie played on a club with a winning record. Overall it was satisfying because the way the team played, he said. It was a very interesting year. I had some of the better games of my career, two shutouts which I had never done before, and obviously, the most wins, the most innings. But at the same time, I had a number of games where I gave up six earned runs. But I still had a chance to have an ERA south of four. Guthrie yielded an American League-high 236 hits, but he stranded a career high 78.2 percent of his runners. He had more hits than innings pitched, but with a good defense and confidence in your ability to make a pitch and not worry about the hitter hitting it, while relying on your defense, thats what he does so well,

Tony Gutierrez The Associated Press

Royals manager Ned Yost said. He had a great year. Theres no reason to think hes not going to do it again this year. Guthrie went 9-0 with a 2.25 ERA in 17 straight starts from Aug. 8, 2012 to May 9, 2013 breaking Paul Splittorffs club record of 16 starts without a defeat set in 1977-78. Guthrie began last season 5-0 with a 2.40 ERA before losing May 9 at Baltimore. I didnt know much about the record until it was broken, Guthrie said. It was a huge honor to be able to do something that a Royals legend had done years ago. That streak had little to do with me and more to do with the team. A pitcher only avoids losses if a team hits and plays defense behind you. I guess the pitcher is the third part in that type of streak.

week. Id like to think weve gotten better at a lot of things, Im sure they have too, Junction City coach Pat Battle said. If youre looking at records and scoreboards, theyve won on the scoreboard a lot more than we have, but weve competed with the exception of a couple of games, so Id expect us to come out and compete. Junction City moved junior forward Jordan Lawrence into the starting lineup to give the team added size up front, pairing him with senior Semaj Johnson. Battle also inserted sophomore Raye Wilson on the perimeter as a lock down defender and a player who can feed the ball to the size inside. Weve got to score inside first of all, Battle said. We cant rely on shooting the ball over the top. We have to get the ball inside, we have to do a great job on the boards, we have to fight through their screens and I think weve just got to be a better team on the offensive rebounds. Manhattan has experienced its own share of bumps as the season progressed. The teams coach, Tim Brooks, resigned Friday in the midst of a two-week suspension. The Indians are coming off a 69-58 loss to Shawnee Heights last Friday. But the added drama should only incite the local crowd. Junction City is preparing for a packed house. Its big and emotional game, Johnson said. But we still have to focus like its a regular game and not get too wrapped up in the crowd or anything but ourselves. We just need to play our game. Battle said his team experienced a similar environment when the teams met in Junction City. I think we worry about executing, he said. As far as the noise, weve got flip cards were going to go with. That will help our guys too. A lot more hand signals, but I thought the environment here was pretty wild too. Weve just got to enjoy it, to tell you the truth. There are only so many times in your life that hundreds of people are paying attention to you. Your wedding and certain sporting events and outside of that I cant think of too much where everyone is paying attention (to you). Wilds said the key will be the same as its been all year for the Blue Jays focusing first on defense. There was no shortage of defense last time when the teams slowed the pace to a halt, combining for 67 points. Junction City is confident they can bring back a different result this time. Yes, indeed (were excited), Wilds said. And were going to beat them too.

UNC beats Florida State

Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) Roy Williams earned his 300th win at North Carolina with an 81-75 win against Florida State as the Tar Heels rallied from a 15-point first-half deficit to record its seventh consecutive victory. The win was North Carolinas biggest comeback of the year. Freshman Kennedy Meeks scored a career-high 23 points for North Carolina (18-7, 8-4 ACC), while Marcus Paige chipped in 20. James Michael McAdoo, who had scored double figures in 17 consecutive games, fouled out without a point. That was about as bizarre of a game Ive ever been involved with early, nothing we did was very good, Williams said. But our guys just sort of hung in there. Florida State (15-11, 6-8) switched up the starting lineup with its NCAA Tournament chances dwindling after losing 6 of 9. Ian Miller made his first start of the season and led the Seminoles with 22 points, including five 3-pointers. His hot shooting out of the gate helped give Florida State a 21-6 lead. Montay Brandon finished with 18 points and Aaron Thomas added 16. North Carolina started just 2 for 13 from the field, but closed the first half with a 27-15 run with Meeks taking over inside. Florida States size, Okaro White, Michael Ojo, Boris Bojanovsky, played a combined 17 minutes in the first half because of foul trouble and Meeks stayed aggressive. He scored 13 points in the first half, including the last eight North Carolina points before the half.

held a 10-4 first quarter lead before letting the game slip away. Junction City is not the same team as the last time the two schools met a month ago. The Blue Jays prominently feature several younger players in the rotation who did not factor into the last game. Weve lost some people but weve gained some people, Parks said. Were starting to understand more of what we need to do in order to be successful. The process is a little slower than I want it to be but we think were moving in the right direction. Kamm said the teams ability to operate at a fast pace, despite its youth, will play into the result. With young players, theyre always more cautious with the ball, cautious with how they play the game, she said. It causes more errors throughout the game and a slower paced game, which can hurt you. The environment will be the harshest one the Blue Jays will encounter all season. So execution will take on even greater importance. We have to be disciplined, Parks said. We have to take good shots. We have to stay under control and handle their press, only give them one shot and make sure that were rebounding solid at the other end. Manhattan enters the contest 15-1 on the season with a perfect 9-0 record in league play. The Indians are coming off a 43-31 win at Shawnee Heights on Friday. But Parks believes in his teams ability to pull off the upset. Its going to be the confidence factor, he said. We have to know that (Manhattan) is a very beatable team, and we have to believe that. We cant let the pressure and the crowd get to them, we have to drown that out by being confident. While confidence is gained through experience on the court, Parks believes the energy level should be high from the get-go. It should be a game they get up for very easily, he said. Thats one of the things Im trying to incorporate in this program is when were playing against our rivals, theres no stops that were taking, were going to play as hard as we can and be successful.

Associated Press
LAWRENCE No. 8 Kansas should have its full complement of players for the first time in a couple of weeks when it visits Texas Tech on Tuesday night. Jayhawks coach Bill Self said Monday that center Joel Embiid, whos been dealing with back pain and the lingering effects of a sprained knee, and sophomore forward Brannen Greene, who was benched one game for disciplinary reasons, would be available against the Red Raiders. Self said Embiid practiced at full speed after missing Saturdays blowout victory over TCU. He played just 18 minutes in an overtime loss to Kansas State on Feb. 10 in his last game. Hes fine, Self told a small group of reporters. We didnt practice long we only practiced 40 minutes but he did everything, full contact, so well see how he feels today. I certainly anticipate him playing. Embiid has emerged as one of the top prospects for the NBA draft assuming he leaves after his freshman season thanks to his 7-foot frame, impressive footwork and the fact that hes still raw. The native of Cameroon only picked up the game a few years ago. In fact, his biggest challenge lately has been staying on the court. If it isnt the back and knee pain putting him on the bench, its his frequent foul trouble. When asked how much he expects Embiid to play in his return Tuesday night, Self replied: If we can get 25 minutes out of him, thatd be pretty good. That means he wouldnt have mauled everybody in the first half, which hes capable of doing. Self also said Greene would be available after missing the Horned Frogs game for what the coach called a pattern of irresponsible behavior. It was the second straight game that Self had benched a player for disciplinary reasons sophomore forward Jamari Traylor missed the Kansas State game before returning against TCU over the weekend. Earlier this season, junior point guard Naadir Tharpe was forced to sit out a game against Louisiana-Monroe for playing in an unauthorized summer league game.

Baylor hands Smart-less Oklahoma St. another loss

B Y S CHULYER D IXON

Associated Press
WACO, Texas Cory Jefferson and Baylor won another game in overtime to continue a turnaround that the Bears hope will end with an NCAA tournament berth. Oklahoma State is just waiting for something good to happen again, perhaps starting this weekend when suspended preseason All-America guard Marcus Smart returns. Jefferson scored 25 points and th e Bears overcame a buzzer-beater that forced overtime Monday night, handing the Cowboys their seventh straight loss 70-64 in the last of three games without Smart. The Bears (17-9, 5-8 Big 12) won in overtime at home for the second time in three days. Baylors Brady Heslip hit a tying 3-pointer at the buzzer in regulation in a double-overtime victory against Kansas State on Saturday. We just did two of them the other day so it was nothing new to us, said Jefferson, who also had a game-high 13 rebounds. We had plenty of practice for it. The Cowboys (16-10, 4-9) can finish no better than .500 in conference but will get Smart back from his three-game suspension for pushing a heckling fan late in a loss at Texas Tech. He returns Saturday at home in the rematch with the Red Raiders. Markel Brown and Phil Brown tried to make up for Smarts absence. Brown scored 26 points and Forte, Smarts high school

teammate in the Dallas area, added 20. Weve been playing tough the last two games and Marcus is a tough guy and hes ready to get back on this court, Brown said. Hes been watching the games on TV. Hes been seeing how hard weve been working. Im sure hes wanting to come back and

join us. Isaiah Austin had 12 points and 12 rebounds for the Bears, who won for the fourth time in six games in a run that started with a win at Oklahoma State that snapped a five-game skid. This was supposed to be a high-profile Monday matchup between a pair of teams that were 12-1 and ranked in the top 10 nationally when Big 12 play started. Instead, it was a battle for postseason survival, and played out that way. Baylor, which trailed by 10 early in the second half, went ahead 56-55 on a dunk by Jefferson after a missed free throw by Austin and was up by three and had the ball with 3.5 seconds left. But Gary Franklins inbound pass was intercepted by Leyton Hammonds, who dribbled around a defender and hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to force overtime at 58-all. It was Hammonds first 3 since the season opener. It was almost like the basketball gods wanted us to win, Brown said. Then they took it back away from us. Jefferson made a 3-pointer from the left wing to start overtime and put Baylor ahead for good. The Bears missed some free throws early in the extra period to give the Cowboys a chance to stay close, and they got within two on a 3-pointer by Brown. But Kenny Chery made a driving layup for a four-point lead with less a minute left, and Brown missed a 3 at the other end. The Bears shot 38 percent but made

three of four shots and outscored Oklahoma State 12-6 in overtime. They had a 19-5 edge in the second extra period against Kansas State. I was really, really proud of how our guys came out in the overtime because when you do something like that, its devastating, Baylor coach Scott Drew said. Thats like getting punched in the gut. Youre hunched over and for us to refocus ... I thought it was tremendous. The Cowboys went up 10 early in the second half on a 3-pointer by Forte, who was scoreless in a home loss to Baylor earlier in the month. The Bears rallied and went ahead on a dunk by Austin with 5 minutes remaining. Forte put Oklahoma State ahead 55-54 on a 3-pointer, but Hammonds tying shot was the only basket for the Cowboys in the final 3 minutes of regulation and the first 3 1/2 minutes of overtime. Brown and Forte were the only Oklahoma State players with more than six points. Theres no reason we should have been in the game other than fight, other than effort, other than will, Cowboys coach Travis Ford said. Weve got two players out there that were scoring. Baylor stayed close in regulation with a huge edge in offensive rebounding and some tenacious defense that included consecutive shot-clock violations by the Cowboys, who shot 37 percent.

in a tiebreaking 3-pointer in the second overtime, and had a three-point play on a dunk to put Baylor up by 11 with a minute remaining. Prince had seven of his 12 points in the second extra period. Nino Williams had a career-high 20 points for the Wildcats (17-8, 7-5), who led by 10 points in both halves but ended up losing their fifth straight on the road after consecutive wins over ranked opponents, including an upset of No. 7 Kansas, also in overtime. Weve been in position to win the last four road games, Williams said. I think last year around this time we were winning these games and I think this year were losing these games. Chery had the sixth triple-double in school history and first in a conference game with 20 points and career highs of 12 assists and 10 rebounds. Baylors last triple-double was by Ekpe Udoh on Jan. 6, 2010. My teammates have been pushing me really hard in practice and that kept me in shape, said Chery, who played a seasonhigh 44 minutes after being limited in recent games by turf toe. I was probably a little tired at the end of that last overtime. But my teammates kept me on my feet. Marcus Foster, the hot Kansas State freshman playing 200 miles from his Texas home, had 18 points and 10 assists but missed a free throw late in regulation before Heslips tying shot. He also missed one with the game tied in the final minute of the first overtime. It definitely hurts me a little when I had two chances to put the game away, said Foster. Ive just got to keep getting better. I cant

get down about this. Heslips swish from well beyond the arc for a 57-all tie came after a wild sequence of three missed shots before Austin came up with a loose ball and passed to Heslip, who let the ball go with the clock inside 2 seconds. The Bears were 2 of 20 from 3-point range before Heslips tying shot. He ended up 1 of 8 from long range and scored seven points. Youve just got to hope and pray it bounces to you, Kansas State coach Bruce Weber said. If it goes out of bounds, I call timeout and we tell them to foul. But it didnt. Youve got to give their kids credit for having the savvy to throw it out. Cory Jefferson had 21 points and 11 rebounds for Baylor before fouling out on a play that led to the tying free throw from Foster in the first overtime. The Bears held for the last shot at 68-all after Foster missed the second of two free throws, but Chery missed a jumper. Prince put Baylor ahead for good early in the second overtime when his 3-pointer from the right wing with the shot clock about to expire banked in. After Williams lost the ball near midcourt, Heslip drove for a layup and a five-point lead. Prince later scored five points in an 8-0 run that put the game away. Chery had the other three. Two of Austins blocks came at the start of the second half and sparked an 8-0 run to get Baylor within a point after the Bears scored a season-low 21 in the first half. The Bears were down 10 again before Chery finished a 10-0 run with consecutive layups for a 51-all tie.
