Group home operator

to pay $7.2M in
wrongful-death case
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) A jury has found
that the operator of an Oklahoma City group home
acted recklessly in connection to a man who died
soon after he was relocated to the home.
Mitchell Boles, 52, lived at a state-run center for
the developmentally disabled in Pauls Valley for 40
years, The Oklahoman reported.
Boles was relocated to the group home in January
2014 and died from pneumonia in March 2014.
Attorneys for Boles` estate argued that Renaissance
Management Group Inc. knew it didn`t have the
ability to provide the care Boles needed and that he
was improperly fed, medicated and supervised.

published in Seismological Research

Letters in November, shows scientists
believe the earthquake was caused by
wastewater injection for several
reasons, including that there hadnt
previously been similar earthquakes in
the area and the earthquake activity
started after the amount of water
injected in the wells increased
WICHITA, (AP) The largest recorded earthquake in
Kansas history was likely the result of wastewater injected into
the ground by one or two nearby wells, according to a new
study from the U.S. Geological Survey found.
The 4.9 magnitude earthquake happened in November
2014 about 40 miles southwest of Wichita.
The USGS report, which will be published in Seismological
Research Letters in November, shows scientists believe the

Vol. 131 Iss. 159 20 Pa ges

earthquake was caused by wastewater injection for several

reasons, including that there hadnt previously been similar
earthquakes in the area and the earthquake activity started
after the amount of water injected in the wells increased.
USGS geologist George Choy said its hard for scientists to
predict high-magnitude earthquakes ahead of time because
there isnt a lot of historical data on earthquakes smaller than
3.5, the Wichita Eagle reported (http://bit.ly/2efBLe2 ). This
resulted in scientists being unable to tell whether smaller
earthquakes were natural or induced.
Before 2014, there had been fewer than one earthquake per
year. In 2014, there were more than 125 earthquakes at a 2.5
magnitude or higher.
Some things you cant recognize until hindsight, Choy
said.
Since the 4.9 earthquake, the USGS has increased the
number of seismic stations in the area from five to eight and
the state of Kansas added six more.
Aftershocks usually occur in adjacent rock that was
dislodged by the original earthquake. By mapping these aftershocks, scientists were able to figure out the size, shape and
location of the large earthquake.
One of the two wells operated by SandRidge Energy is still
injecting water at the same level as when the earthquake
occurred.
If the well is in the right place next to a fault and the fault
is oriented the right way, a little change in stress could cause
(an earthquake) to occur, Choy said.

TOPEKA (AP) Kansas transportation officials say more than

300 people have died in traffic
accidents this year, a 16 percent
increase over the same period in
2015.
Kansas Department of Transportation traffic safety manager
Chris Bortz said there was a 7
percent decrease in traffic fatalities
from 2014 to 2015. There were 385
traffic fatalities in 2014 and 355 in
2015. As of Monday, 307 people
have died in traffic accidents so far
this year.
Bortz said the increase is a
national phenomenon and that
distracted driving is likely one of the
causes. About a third of traffic
fatalities involve people driving
while distracted, and about a third
involve people driving while drunk
or otherwise impaired.
Fifty percent of traffic fatalities in
Kansas involve people who werent
wearing a seatbelt, according to the
Topeka Capital-Journal.
Interim transportation secretary
Richard Carlson said that even
looking down at ones cellphone for
what seems like a short amount of
time is dangerous.
At 70 miles an hour, four
seconds is a lifetime, Carlson said
at a news conference.
State
officials
and
law
enforcement gathered at the Statehouse to send the message that
simple actions can reduce fatalities.
Some include using a seatbelt on
oneself and ones children, putting
the cellphone away when driving
and refraining from drinking under
the influence.
The Kansas Department of
Insurance unveiled a campaign last
month to gather #ItCanWait
pledges from 40,000 to 50,000
Kansans saying they will not text
and drive.

Plot ...
O Continued from Page 1A

Attorney Tom Beall and FBI

Special Agent in Charge Eric
Jackson at the Epic Center in
Wichita. The alleged plan was to
carry out the attack the day after
Election Day, according to Beall.
Were here today to announce
three Southwest Kansas men,
Curtis Allen, Patrick Stein and
Gavin Wright, were charged in
federal court here today on
domestic terrorism charges, Beall
said. The government alleges the
defendants conspired to detonate a
bomb at an apartment complex in
Garden City, where Muslim
immigrants from Somalia live and
worship, the apartment was located
at 312 W. Mary. These charges are
based on eight months of investigation by the FBI, and is alleged to
have taken investigators deep into a
hidden culture of hatred and
violence. Many Kansans may find
this startling, as I have, that such
things could happen here. Its
alleged the defendants conducted
surveillance to size up potential
targets. They stockpiled firearms
and ammunition, and explosive
components. They even prepared a
manifesto describing their beliefs to
be published after the bombing.
One of them said the bombing
would wake people up.
The defendants, Beall continued,
were unaware of the investigation
into their alleged activities began in
February. The defendants were
members of a small group that
called themselves The Crusaders.
They formed a plan for a violent
attack, they considered a variety of
potential
targets,
including
churches and public officials that
expressed support for Somalis, as
well as landlords who rented to
Somalis, Beall said. They finally
settled on an apartment complex in
Garden City, where a number of
Somalis lived, maintained apartments, and served as a mosque. The
defendants discussed obtaining
four vehicles, filling them with
explosives, and parking them at the
four corners of the apartment
complex to create a large
explosion.
Wednesday, Oct. 12, Beall
continued, Stein met with a confidential FBI source in Finney
County, who showed him

said Boles` sister Shannon Adams.
The company said it is not a

doctors, a nurse and the hospital
responsible for Boles` medical care
acted in negligence. While jurors
found that medical providers were
20 percent to blame for the death,
Boles` estate did not sue them,
resulting in the providers staying
financially unaffected.

Stein took the source to the

apartment complex in Garden City
the defendants were allegedly
targeting.
Defendant Stein also talked with
the source about Defendant Allens
arrest in a domestic violence case in
Liberal the previous day, Oct. 11,
Beall said. Stein said he was
concerned Allens girlfriend would
give the Liberal police information
about the defendants plans. The
defendants were arrested this
morning in the Liberal area. These
are very serious allegations, and the
defendants are innocent until
proven guilty. But if convicted, they
could face life in federal prison.
Beall then expressed thanks to
the FBI, the LPD, the Seward
County Sheriffs Office, the Ford
County Sherriffs Office, the
Garden City Police Department,
the Finney County Sherriffs
Office, the Dodge City Police
Department, the Kansas Highway
Patrol, and the Kansas Bureau of
Investigation for their assistance
with the case.
After Beall spoke, Jackson also
gave some remarks, beginning by
echoing Bealls sentiments and
thanks to the various departments
for their work.
I would also like to express the
FBIs greatest gratitude to our local,
state and federal departments for
their unwavering and continuing
support of the FBI, Jackson said.
Additionally, I would like to thank
the employees of the Kansas City
Field Office, as well as our assets
who worked tirelessly in this investigation. Todays law enforcement
action culminated in the arrest of
three individuals, individuals who
posed a significant and credible
threat to our community, and were
planning to take imminent action.
These individuals had desire,
means, and the capability, and were
committed to carrying out this act
of domestic terrorism.
After Jacksons remarks, Beall
came back and both he and Jackson
took some extra questions. Both
said there are still parts of the investigation that are ongoing.
We feel as though the
individuals involved in this plot
have been stopped, and this plot
has been stopped, Beall said. This
is an isolated group called the
Crusaders, and we dont have any
information about any other threats
in the community right now.

making plans for the 2017 edition

of the event.
Part of that process will take
place this Thursday as the Five
State Fair Association hosts its
annual meeting, and the group is
looking for new members to help
with the decision making that goes
into putting on a fair.
At 6 p.m. Thursday at the
Activity Center, a pot luck dinner
will be served, and following the
meal, four new board members
will be nominated and chosen
during the meeting.
The fair board is made up of 13
board members six of which are
appointed by application through
the Seward County Commission
and seven elected from the association membership during the
annual meeting.
Current fair board president Ty
Lewick and treasurer Rosa Conley
said the board is seeking
individuals with strong leadership
communication skills and the
willingness and ability to share
resources and contacts for fair
operations and program activities.
All fair board members perform
board
responsibilities
and
complete committee assignments
including
attending
board
meetings and being onsite during
the fair in August. Lewick said
while much of the work during the
Five State Fair requires board
members to be at the fair almost
around the clock, the rest of a
members service does not require
as much of an input of time.
Theres a certain period of time
it does, but most of the year, its
one meeting a month on the third
Thursday, he said. That meeting
can last anywhere from an hour to
three hours, but its one day a
month that it takes. As we get
closer to the fair during the
summer, it takes some more time.
A lot of people say they dont have
the time to put into it.
Lewick did admit that the time
board members take on at fair
time is a sacrifice, and Conley said
being an association member is a
full-time volunteer position.
We do have some people on the
board, they work during the day,
and as soon as they get off work,
they come out and help with the
evening activities so the people
that have been there all day can
take a little bit of a break, Lewick
said.
While four new board members
are being sought, Lewick said the
group is likewise looking for new
association members.
Historically, we have had a
large association, and those people
also volunteered and helped with
events and activities, whether it be
taking tickets at a race or helping
with judging at the open class and
4-H, he said. They play a smaller
role, but we rely on them heavily.
Right now, our association has
dwindled down to where they are
not involved.
Lewick said having more fair
association members likewise
allows the group to keep up its
connections with the community
to get things such as sponsorships
or equipment.
It just makes it easier the more
connections we have to the
community to get the fair put on,
he said.
Though they would not divulge
any items that are for sure will be a
part of the 2017 Five State Fair,
Conley and Lewick did say they
are looking into some potential
events.
Were looking into potentially a

monster truck show, Lewick said.

Right now, were actually talking
to the first promoter to see if we
can get that going. Were looking
to do a lot more of the free stage
local talent type things. That was
really successful this last year. We
had some kids that came. I think
they were all high schoolers. They
came out one evening and played
on our free stage. They had a
pretty good crowd, and everyone
really liked that. We really want to
try to promote that and promote
local talent.
While many fair goers would like
to see things such as concerts from
well-known artists, Lewick said
with the money the fair association
has in place, those are just not a
possibility at this time.
When they want concerts, they
want big names, and right now

with the budget we have, we just

cant afford that, he said.
Lewick said many venues that
play hosts to those acts are likely
doing so at a higher cost to the
consumer.
A lot of these other venues will
charge quite a bit to help pay for
the events that are going on, and
were trying to make the fair as
family friendly and affordable as
possible, he said. Were charging
$5 a ticket. When Styx is in
Garden City, you may be paying
$40 a ticket, and we know thats
just not family friendly.
Conley and Lewick said above
all else, they are simply looking for
people who want to make the fair
an enjoyable event for everyone in
the community.
A lot of people go, I dont
know how to put on the fair. I

dont know anything about the fair.

Ive been to it, but I dont know
anything about putting on a fair, so
I wouldnt be a good board
member, Lewick said. We had
no clue what we were getting into
when we joined. Ive been on this
board for three years. Theyve been
on two years. You learn as you go.
Conley said people are also
being sought who are ready to
have fun putting on an event
which Liberal and surrounding
communities can be proud of.
Come out to the association, to
our annual meeting, join the
association, come to the meetings,
see what it is like, she said. If at
one time you would love to get on
the board, that would be awesome,
but joining the association is what
we would really like to see more
community members do.

Here you are, in the

remote Southwest
corner of Kansas, in a
community small
enough that referring to
it as a city requires
sunny optimism. This
week, optimism is in
short supply: as if the
rancor of an uncivil
election season is not
enough to navigate, you
Rachel Coleman

Be kind, starting with yourself.

COLUMN

Actions of a few not

representative of all of us
Mayor: All
lives matter
As the Mayor of Liberal,
I am as shocked and
horrified as is everyone
else, by the events of the
past few days, that has
culminated an 8 month
investigation, with the
arrests of two Liberal men
and one from Wright
Kansas.
I could not be more proud, and
have a even deeper respect of our
Liberal Police Department in the way
they conducted themselves
throughout the investigation, and the
way they cooperatively worked with
the other law enforcement agencies,
to bring and end to such a terrible
plot of hatred. It is these men and
women who continue to go above
and beyond the call of duty, putting
their own lives on the line, to serve
and protect every citizen in this
community. In these tumultuous
times we live in, our brave Liberal
police officers, look beyond race,
creed, and color and only seek to do
their jobs, to the best of their ability,
to ensure the safety, and well being of
everyone who calls Liberal home.
Dedication, Service, Courage, Honor,
and Valor, are not just words, but a
way of life for these men and women
in blue! Job well done officers!
Let me assure those that are now
looking at Liberal, and are wondering,
what is going on there? In my honest
opinion, this was an isolated incident,
planned by a group of radicals, whose
only only goal was destroy lives with
hate and terror. This is NOT the
norm in our community! We are a
loving, caring community, where we
treat each other with respect. We are
a diverse community, one that has
worked, and continues to work
together to not only provide a better
life for our own families, but to also
make a better community for all to
live, work, and raise a family in an
environment that we can all feel safe.
We build on the strengths of each
individual, and offer a hand up in
each others time of need. Every
citizen in our community is a vital,
contributing member of the
community, and a valued human
being.
Here in OUR Community, we
stand by the premise that"ALL
LIVES MATTER!" I am proud to call
Liberal Home,
Again, thank you to the Liberal
Police Department, Seward County
Sheriffs Office, Kansas Bureau of
Investigation, Kansas Highway Patrol,
and the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.

A short list of what

to do this weekend

Before I met
my husband,
Id never
fallen in love,
though Id
stepped in it
a few times.

Joe Denoyer
Liberal Mayor

L&T

Theres a reason many immigrants

find their way to Southwest Kansas,
and its the same reason that has
been a cornerstone of America for
more than 200 years opportunity.
Whether it is the types of jobs offered or the
friendly, welcoming spirit that can
only be seen on the prairie,
Southwest Kansas is a cultural
crossroads with a blend of
established pioneering families
alongside first-wave immigrants
mostly from Mexico and Central
America.
Lately, there has been an influx of Somalis, and
they, too, are finding work in meat packing plants
and elsewhere on the high plains.
While elected officials may talk about
immigration policy, we live it every day. When
established agricultural communities have become
majority minority communities, we dont need
lectures from those seeking public office about the
impact of decisions made in Washington or
elsewhere. They could do well to visit Southwest
Kansas and maybe learn how to actually address
these issues rather than pontificating on topics
they dont understand.
While many may disagree with some of these
policies, the core value of Southwest Kansas shines
above all others, and it is a story taught to us in
every Sunday school class: Jesus loves the little
children, all the children of the world. Red, brown,
yellow, black and white, theyre all precious in His
sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world.
Every person, every soul is important.
In Southwest Kansas, we still make eye contact
with complete strangers, we greet them with a
smile and a handshake.
When a suspected plot to attack Somalis at a
Garden City apartment was exposed yesterday,
there will be some that only see national media
coverage who have propagated an idea that those
in rural communities cling to their guns and

religion and are xenophobic, racist bigots.

They dont know us at all.
When we differ on policy, we vote our
conscience.
And after the ballots have been counted, we
accept the results.
We may disagree with policy, but we have also
created an education program that addresses more
than 10 different languages in a
community of 20,000 people.
We have provided free athletic
programs to children in third
through sixth grades so that any
child from any background can
be a part of a team.
Yes, we have outstanding Christian-based
churches. And we have mosques and Buddhist
temples as well.
We have a business district that includes a
diverse mix of Asian, Mexican, Central American
and domestic shopping options.
We responsibly exercise the right to keep and
bear arms with open carry policies, and peace is
maintained throughout our community.
The revelation of hatred and bigotry exposed
yesterday is a shameful display of prejudice and
cowardice that does not represent who we are as a
community.
The Leader&Times strongly condemns any act
that seeks to target any group based on their faith,
ethnicity, or sexual preference.
Much like extreme Islamic terrorists do not
represent all Muslims, these three individuals do
not represent the rest of us, either.
Ours is a family first community, and we do not
condone prejudice.
We are also grateful that our law enforcement
community took the appropriate steps to secure
the public safety in this case.
We call out to the global community to resist
the same bigotry in trying to place judgment on
who we are based on the thwarted actions of a
few. To do so would be just as bigoted and wrong.
We have a friendly, welcoming community, and
this attempted terrorist plot will not change that.

LETTERS POLICY

The Daily Leader & Times

provides a regular forum for readers
ideas and opinions.
Letters should be sent to the High
Plains Daily Leader, 16 S. Kansas,
Liberal, Kansas 67901.They may also
be faxed to the office at (620) 6269854; or use our e-mail address:
news@hpleader.com
Letters may endorse individual
candidates if the writer is an area
resident but must stay within the
bounds of good taste. Candidates
cannot use the Op-Ed Page to

promote their campaign.

Letters may address any topic or
area of interest, but cannot be
libelous or contain specific consumer
complaints against a private business.
No more than one letter from
the same individual will be
published within 7 days of a
previous letter on the same
topic unless it is a response
to a rebuttal from another
writer.
These items should be legibly
printed or typewritten and should

contain the writers signature, correct

address and telephone number. Only
the writers name and town of
residence will be published.We
reserve the right to edit for length
and request that letters not exceed
500 words.
Letters to the editor are
expressions of our readers opinions.
Letters, op-ed columns and political
cartoons do not necessarily reflect
the editorial positions or opinions of
the Leader&Times or its employees.

You find out that what seemed

like a traffic inconvenience, or
maybe evidence of how gossipy a
town this size can be was instead
the loose thread that prevented a
bombing.
The details dont serve to make
sense out of chaos. People
formed a citizen militia and aired
their grievances and fears in a
closed environment that fed
those dark emotions rather than
giving them a chance to
dissipate. Somehow, the presence
of Somali immigrants fueled the
anger of these militia members,
who contemplated ways to wake
people up presumably to the
dangers of welcoming refugees
whove finally escaped a war zone
and hope for a better future in
the land of the free, home of the
brave known as the United
States of America.
You look at your neighbors and
wonder, What happened to
peace and quiet in the smalltown Midwest?
You wonder, What is the
world coming to?
You ask, How could this
happen?
You flail a bit inside your own
mind: What am I supposed to
do?
Asking questions is the best
possible start. Turning your
attention to something you can
control yourself is the best
kind of social and moral
responsibility. It also does
wonders to soothe anxiety and
keep a person on track for good
mental health.
So heres your to-do list for
today, and tomorrow, and every
morning you wake up for the rest
of your life:
Smile. It doesnt matter if the
person you smile at has learned
to speak English yet, or if you
dont know a single word of
Spanish or Amharic or Burmese.
Smiles cross language barriers,
open doors, make the heart glad.
It will help you as much as the
other person, especially if she
smiles back.
Say hello. It doesnt matter if
the person you greet does not
understand the words, if he is
dressed oddly, if you dont get a
word in return. You are the
American who is at home in this
country, the person with the
know-how and the permanent
address. Be nice, the way you
learned in kindergarten.
Remember we all have a back
story. Perhaps the recipient of
your smile and greeting ducks his
head or deflects. It could be hes
never had a proper neighbor,
someone who lived a simple life
and had no agenda. It could be
the last time she had to talk to
strangers, they wanted to rob or

Life, as my mother often notes,

is rarely ideal. That reality
check should take away some of
the pressure. Perfection is not
only the enemy, its also plain
impossible. Do the best you can,
accept you are human, and let
the stress of falling short dissolve.
People who are wound up too
tight cannot think of solutions or
find joy.
Avoid worry. We are all scared
sometimes. We all get tired. Its
OK. Maybe you are uncertain
how you will pay the daunting
bill that showed up in your mail
last Thursday. Or the groceries
have run out before the month
ended. What the heck will
happen after November 8? Well,
not a bombing as some would
have liked. Things change.
Todays problems are not the end
of the story, but if you want to
get to the end of that story, you
have to make it through.
Laugh. Children laugh 50
times a day. Grown-ups?
Sometimes never. Yet laughter
acknowledges the absurdity of
the world, its difficulties, and our
dogged persistence. Laughter
levels the playing field. Laughter
lets the pressure escape. Did you
lose your sense of humor? Good
thing it doesnt come in dollars.
Youll be able to afford replacing
it.
Pray, or meditate, or take a
deep breath. You dont have to
be super-religious to know that
moments of silence (and
adequate oxygen) clear
confusion. Unwilling to bet on an
all-knowing, omnipresent creator
who cares about humanity? Fine.
Count to 10, inhale, exhale,
maybe mutter Help! You never
know: in the silence that follows,
you might find your own still,
small voice of guidance or
comfort.
Cry. As my wise and
kindhearted son observed at age
6, Crying is good because it lets
the sadness leak out. Some
things in life death,
destruction, human hatred,
stupidity require proper
mourning. Its OK to unravel a
bit at the edges this weekend.
The place we call home just
dodged a bullet.
Eat breakfast, sit on the front
steps, notice the leaves turning to
gold. Watch the sunrise or the
sunset or both, and give the
people in your house extra hugs.
Tell the cashier at the store
thank you, and wave at the
guys working on the street
improvements instead of
scowling about traffic cones that
confuse us all.
Remember we are all in it
together, and be thankful that we
are all here to register that fact.

Obama administration: Budget deficit increases to $587B

By ANDREWTAYLOR
Associated Press

WASHINGTON

The
government ran a $587 billion
budget deficit for the justcompleted fiscal year, a 34 percent
spike over last year after significant
improvement from the record
deficits of President Barack
Obamas first years in office.
Fridays deficit news, while
sobering, does not appear bad
enough to jolt a gridlocked
Washington into action to stem the
flow of red ink. It came in an
annual report by the Treasury
Department and the White House
budget office.
In the presidential campaign,
intractable budget deficits and
growing debt have been mostly
neglected by Democrat Hillary
Clinton and Republican Donald
Trump.
The latest figures show that the
government is borrowing 15 cents
of every dollar it spends.
Government spending went up
almost 5 percent to $3.9 trillion in
fiscal 2016, but revenues stayed flat
at $3.3 trillion.

Obama came to power after the

2008 financial crisis and as the
economy was still emerging from a
deep recession, and the deficit
spiked to $1.4 trillion, which
required Treasury to borrow 40
cents for every dollar spent by the
government. It remained above $1
trillion for three more years before
declining to $439 billion last year as
the U.S. economy continues to
slowly grow.
The Obama Administrations
agenda has spurred durable
economic growth and the longest
streak of job growth on record,
while sharply reducing the deficit
to a sustainable level, said Treasury
Secretary Jacob Lew said in a
statement. We have built a solid
foundation
for
continued
investment in economic growth
and opportunity for all, while
maintaining fiscal discipline and
using fiscal space appropriately to
grow the economy.
Now, the Congressional Budget
Office is predicting deficits will,
more or less, remain in the $600
billion range for the next several
years. Those are eye-popping
numbers to the average person, but

they represent about 3 percent of

the size of the economy, a level
many economists say is bearable.
Trump is promising tax cuts
estimated to cost $6 trillion or so in
the coming decade and has criticized congressional Republicans,
including House Speaker Paul
Ryan of Wisconsin, for proposing
to cut Medicare and other
government programs. Clinton
promises to increase taxes on the
wealthy and spend the money on
college tuition subsidies, infrastructure and expansion of
President Barack Obamas health
care law.
Theres no leadership on the
campaign trail. What both Clinton
and Trump have said, essentially, is,
Here are the new things that I
want to do, said Douglas HoltzEakin, a GOP economist and
president of the American Action
Forum think tank. What thats
really saying is: I have no play to fix
the existing problem. None. So
they have no plan.
If Clinton wins, many
Washington observers believe the
chronically gridlocked capital city
will remain unable to act on major

issues such as the deficit, taxes or

weaknesses in Obamas 2010
health care law.
We just have big philosophical
differences, Ryan told a homestate group of college Republicans
on Friday, adding that a Clinton
victory would mean having more
of the same stalemate.
The deficit issue has largely fallen
in prominence in Washington in
recent years, due in large part to its
fall from record highs and a sense
of resignation that Obama and
congressional Republicans simply
cant agree on ways to cut it after
some failed attempts in recent
years. Most economists dont

believe the deficit is very worrisome

in the short term.
Its totally manageable. Theres
literally nothing there to worry
about, said left-leaning economist
Dean Baker of the Center for
Economic and Policy Research.
Whats the interest rate on 10-year
bonds or the 30-year bond? If
actors in the financial markets
thought there was any plausible
probability of this sort of fiscal
crisis ... wed be looking at 10-year
rates of maybe 5, 6, 7 (percent).
But the picture over the long run
is more problematic, at least under
a conventional view that if deficits
continue to rise the national debt

grows, government borrowing

would crowd out private lending
and force up interest rates. And if
interest rates go up, the
government would have to pay
much more to finance the more
than $14 trillion in Treasury debt
held by investors.
Were going into a debt spiral
and, depending how far down you
get in that spiral you have a
sovereign debt crisis, said HoltzEakin, a former GOP-appointed
CBO director. Thats just running
a big risk for the budget and the
economy.

Yellen: Slow recovery confounds

economists expectations
By PAULWISEMAN
AP EconomicsWriter

WASHINGTON Federal
Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said
Friday that the slow recovery from
the Great Recession has surprised
economists, confounding long-held
beliefs about growth and inflation.
Her remarks could help explain
why the Fed has been reluctant to
raise U.S. interest rates.
Speaking to an economic
conference at the Federal Reserve
Bank of Boston, Yellen did not
address the Feds timetable for
rates. The central bank is widely
expected to resume raising rates in
December, a reflection of an
improved economy.
Yellen said sluggish worldwide
growth would likely keep global
interest rates low, making it harder
for central banks to combat the
next recession with rate cuts.
As with the aftermath of the
Great Recession, Yellen noted that
economists have at times been
baffled by the economys refusal to
comply with their expectations
during the Great Depression of the

1930s, for example, and the

stagflation of the 1970s when
high unemployment co-existed
with high inflation.
The aftermath of the 2007-2009
crisis has revealed limits in economists understanding of the
economy, the Fed chair suggested.
Tumbling home prices reduced
consumers willingness to spend
more than economists had
envisioned. And a steady decline in
the unemployment rate has failed
to lift wages and inflation as much
as economic models would
indicate.
Yellens comments amounted to
an implicit defense of the Feds
aggressive efforts to boost the
American economy in the
aftermath of the recession. The Fed
kept short-term rates near zero for
seven years and launched three
bond-buying programs to try to
shrink longer-term rates, too, to
stimulate borrowing and spending.
Yellen said the sluggish recovery
suggests that it is even more
important for policymakers to act
quickly and aggressively in
response to a recession and that

policymakers might need to

provide more stimulus during
recoveries than would be called for
under the traditional view.
After raising its benchmark
short-term rate in December, the
Fed had been expected to increase
rates again several times this year.
But it has instead left rates alone,
citing persistent uncertainty about
the economic outlook.

LFD celebrates centennial

By ELLY GRIMM
Leader & Times

Liberal Fire and Rescue, we need you to respond

to...
At these words, which can come over the pager at
the Liberal Fire Department at any moment during
the day, the departments firefighters are ready to
spring into action and take care of the emergency at
hand.
The things firefighters on shift need to know now,
they dont just need to know it, they need to be good
at it, because when someone needs the fire
department, they dont get to look in the phone book
and decide which one to use, they dial 911 and were
what they get, LFD Chief Kelly Kirk said. So were
required to respond, and respond well, to any calls we
get. Its almost overwhelming the amount of things our
guys have to be good at.
The department, whose charter was filed with the
Kansas Secretary of States office Oct. 6, 1916, is
currently celebrating its centennial anniversary of
being part of the Liberal community. The department
started small, with only 14 volunteers back in 1916,
and now currently 30 firefighters on the roster.
Theyd never had an organized department prior to
then, it was all volunteers and basically it was anyone
who showed up, Kirk said of the departments beginnings. It started out with 14, and then it went up to
16, and over the years its changed. I believe it was
1968 when they went to full-time, they appointed the
first full-time fire chief in Sept. 1968, and that was R.L.
Riney, and the chief before him actually stayed on as an
assistant fire chief to the department.
Milton Rice was quite an integral part of the LFD,
and the changes he has seen throughout his tenure
were astounding, he said. As a matter of fact, Rice was
on staff for nearly one-quarter of the 100 years the
department celebrates today.
I got on the department in 1969, when they
changed the department from all volunteer to some full
time, Rice said. They only hired six full-time guys.
The rest was still volunteer.
It was four years I was on the department, then in
1974 I became chief, up until 1993, he added. They
have had a lot of good leadership. It started out from
near nothing to what it is now, so that is pretty
amazing.
Years ago, Rice had a young man who likely idolized
him and followed him everywhere he went. That man
is now an adult. He is Lieutenant Tyson Rice with none
other than the Liberal Fire Department. And his
grandfather couldnt be more proud of his accomplishments.
I am so proud of him, Rice said of his grandson.

This is a group photo of the Liberal Fire Department in 1973. Milton Rice, who would become Fire Chief
the following year, is pictured on the back back row on the far right. Courtesy photo
Rice discussed how firefighters do their jobs, and
they do that job without a second thought. The safety
of others is the goal these men and women face
fearlessly.
All firefighters are that way, they dont think of
themselves, Rice said. They do their job.
When asked if he loved the work he did while he was
with the LFD, former Chief Milton Rice was adamant
about his love of his work.
Oh yes, he said of the love he felt for his work. I
wouldnt have stayed there the last 24 years if I didnt.
I worked with a lot of good people. And they still work
well together.
Now, the department staffs six firefighters for each
24-hour shift, and has three administrative positions,
making for 21 full-time personnel. The LFD is
classified as a combination of full-time and volunteer
firefighters, and right now, the department has 10
volunteers on the roster, and is short one on the fulltime staff, according to Kirk. Kirk also said the
department relies on the on-duty personnel to respond
to calls, along with the dedication and loyalty of the
off-duty and volunteer people to show up and help at
the scene when there is a call.
Weve come a long way from 14 volunteers who had
purchased a new truck from New York City for
$3,000, Kirk acknowledged.
Even though Kirk has only been with the
department for 25 (with eight and a half of those as
Chief) of the departments 100 years, he said there

have been several changes to how the department

works, and how much the department has to learn
about and master.
The biggest change, to me, is the equipment we
use, technologically speaking, and the mind set we
have when we go to fight fires. Firefightings a
dangerous profession no matter how you put it, but we
do things to minimize those dangers now, and weve
learned new things, Kirk said. Things we thought
were dangerous to people who might have been
trapped in a fire before, we realize now we were wrong
about that, and we were able to do some things to help
weaken the fire or darken the fire down before we go
in and put it out, we have different tactics now. More
than anything, were not just a fire department, were
what I would consider an all hazards department.
There are so many things our guys have to be ready for
and respond to every day.
Fire emergencies are the departments primary
concern, and that is what the department is chartered
for. Oddly enough, however, Kirk said, probably 70 to
80 percent of calls are medical emergencies alongside
the EMS, as the department can be called to be there
as extra manpower and technical rescue.
While it is a rare occurrence, the department can
also be called to another city in the nearby area to
assist with an emergency there. Or, if the Liberal
firefighters get overwhelmed with a situation, they can
also call for assistance. A prime example of this
teamwork is the mill fire that occurred on Memorial

Day weekend a few years ago, which saw nearly 70

emergency responders helping out.
Our guys also have to be trained in rope rescue,
vehicle extrication, hazardous materials, trench rescue,
confined space rescue, the list goes on and on, Kirk
said. So many times, we find when someone dials 911
with a problem, a lot of times its fairly obvious its a
police matter, or maybe they need an ambulance, but
if it falls into any other category, the fire department
goes and handles it.
So what does Kirk attribute the departments
longevity to? Simply being there for the community.
As the citys grown, so has the need for a fully
functioning full-time fire department, Kirk said. The
pager that goes off, thats an occurrence of three to
four times a day, and well do probably more than
1,300 calls this year and between 900 to 1,000 of those
will be medical and rescue, and the rest will be fire
emergencies or hazardous condition responses. Just
the way Liberal has grown and continues to grow, the
need for the fire department to be staffed full time is
crucial.
Even with all the positive things the department is
able to do, there are also some challenges the
department faces, the most prominent being staffing.
For me, the biggest challenges are maintaining
adequate staffing levels in the stations on a day-to-day
basis, and Im sure thats something we could accomplish, but at the same time we have to be careful of
forecasting the future as far as allowing vacations and
things like that, Kirk said. We get great support, were
a tax-funded entity out of the general fund of the City
of Liberal, and through good planning and capital
improvements, we have some top-of-the-line
equipment, and were also able to get equipment
through grants and that kind of thing so we dont have
to use just tax dollars. And I think all of that is a credit
to the chiefs who came before me, and the strategic
and capital planning weve had in place for Liberal.
Overall, Kirk said he is pleased to be part of the
departments centennial anniversary.
Im happy Im able to be a part of it and be here for
it. If you were to go around and talk to some of the
guys who work here today ... emergency response is
our primary responsibility, but we try to be as valuable
a department as we can be, Kirk said. We help out
with a lot of things that might seem to fall outside the
scope of what were chartered to do. But because we
have the manpower and because we can still be ready
to respond and still lend a helping hand to other cities
departments or other organizations to make Liberal a
better place to work, we try and be as valuable as we
possibly can, which is a big part of our success.

Sleep time; autism risk from prenatal exposure to banned

chemicals
Q: Im not a big sleeper, just four to
five hours a night. Been that way for
the past 40 years, and it doesnt cause
me any trouble. So, why does everyone
insist that you have to get seven to nine
hours? Terrance G., Minneapolis
A: Around 30 percent of working
adults get six or fewer hours of sleep
nightly, and while a minuscule fraction of
those folks may be able to stay healthy
and alert on less sleep than recommended, almost all short-duration sleepers who deny that it causes them any dysfunction are more exhausted than they
realize.
In fact, according a study by University of Utah researchers, functional MRIs
of those short sleepers brains show they
have cerebral functioning similar to
someone whos been drinking. The study
says they demonstrate: diminished
wakefulness, potentially indicating inaccurate perception of functionality. And
this reinforces an earlier study that characterized short-duration sleepers as having subclinical hypomanic symptoms.
Another drawback: When short-duration sleepers are in low-stimulation environments (driving on an empty road, sitting alone in a quiet work cubicle), they
often find it difficult to stay awake. That
may be why, say the researchers, those
folks crave relentless stimulation.
Our advice: Increase your daily exercise. It will dispel stress and increase
sleepiness. Then gradually increase your
sleep time (it may take several months).
Head to bed 15 to 30 minutes earlier than
usual; keep all blue light and digital
screens out of the bedroom, and keep the
room dark and quiet.
Once you can sleep 30 minutes longer
than usual, repeat for a couple weeks.
Then head for bed another 15 minutes
earlier. Once that becomes habit, you
should notice a difference in how you
feel during the day: less restless, more
focused, more patient. See if you can get
to seven hours a night over time. Your
body and brain will thank you!
Q: My sister has a 6-year-old son
whos on the autism spectrum. When
she was pregnant she ate right, took
prenatal vitamins, exercised and never
went near alcohol. So how did this
happen? Adele F., Fresno, California
A: Having a child with autism spectrum disorder can be very challenging.
Fortunately, early intervention can make

a huge difference in how the child develops, but timely treatment doesnt change
the confusion families feel when they try
to figure out WHY this happened to their
child.
So whats the cause? We do know its
not because of vaccines, despite the mistaken adherence to that theory by celebrities and politicians. But evidence is accumulating that environmental triggers play
a huge role.
Drexel University researchers recently
investigated whether prenatal exposure
to two banned chemicals, DDT (the pesticide) and polychlorinated biphenyl or
PCB (a compound once widely used in
electronics and in heat-transfer fluids),
are responsible for the huge spike in
autism, from one in 150 children in 2000,
to one in 68 in 2010.
The researchers found that out of 1,144
children born in Southern California
between 2000 and 2003 to moms whod
been exposed to PCBs and DDT (second
trimester blood tests showed that), 545
were diagnosed with autism and 181 had
intellectual disabilities!
But how did the moms get exposed to
chemicals that were banned in the 1970s?
Seems the chemicals are still widespread
in water and soil and bioaccumulate in
the food chain. And, says the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention: Currently, the primary source of exposure to
the general population is through the
consumption of fatty foods. Levels are
still measurable in blood samples today,
including those from pregnant women, as
well as in breast milk samples.
Another great reason to go veggie
strong and avoid red meats! And, wed
like to add: Only about 1 percent of the
85,000 chemicals in use today, including
GMO-friendly pesticides and fracking
chemicals, have been verified as safe! So
write to your representatives; ask for legislation that would protect future generations from the mistakes we may be making today.

Road to recovery could test patience of Matthew victims

By MICHAEL KUNZELMAN
and JONATHAN DREW
Associated Press

TARBORO, N.C. Tiajuana

Williams lives in a one-story
apartment building in Princeville,
North Carolina, that was flooded
by a river bulging with rainwater
from Hurricane Matthew. Before
driving out of town in her Honda
Civic ahead of the storm, she
hurriedly packed a small bag with
little more than a change of
clothes.
Now, even while seeking aid to
replace her belongings and arrange
long-term housing, she has more
pressing needs: I aint got no
clothes. I left my clothes in there!
If other recent floods in
Louisiana and elsewhere are any
indication, she could face a long
road to recovery. She filled out a
FEMA application online and
signed paperwork Thursday with an
agency representative who met
with people in Tarboro, just across
the Tar River from Princeville.
But Williams was told that it
could take a week or more to get to
the next step, which will be a phone
call from another representative
who will go over her information
again. She doesnt have renters
insurance and fears her stuff has
been ruined. Making matters
worse, she hasnt been able to get
to her job as a home health nurse
and doesnt expect a paycheck this
week.

Full autopsy: Oklahoma

State player had an
enlarged heart
ByTIMTALLEY
Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY The

Oklahoma State University
basketball player who died in July
following an outdoor team workout
suffered from an enlarged heart
and died of natural causes, the state
medical examiners office said
Friday.
Forward Tyrek Coger, 22,
collapsed on July 21 following a 40minute team workout on the
football stadium stairs when the
temperature was 99 degrees.
The Office of the Chief Medical
Examiners autopsy report states
that Coger died due to
cardiomegaly, or an enlarged heart,
and that his hearts left ventricle
had become abnormally thick. It
also says an abnormal accumulation of spinal fluid in the brain
was a contributing factor to his
death.
The autopsy report does not list
weather conditions at the time he
collapsed as a contributing factor to
Cogers death. Medical Examiners
Office spokeswoman Amy Elliott
did not immediately respond to an
email seeking comment.
Coger transferred from Cape
Fear Community College in North
Carolina and arrived at OSU on
July 5. All mens basketball players
at OSU undergo a baseline electrocardiogram and echocardiogram,
and Coger had been cleared for
basketball activity, said Gavin
Lang, assistant athletic director for
media relations at OSU.
Oklahoma State University,
OSU Athletics and Cowboy
Basketball once again send the
deepest sympathies to Tyrek
Cogers family and friends, Lang
said in an email to The Associated

Press.
In an interview with the Stillwater NewsPress before his death,
Coger spoke of frequent headaches
during high school and said he had
surgery several years ago to drain
fluid from around his brain.
The team noticed Coger was
having issues after hed sat down
after the drills, and called 911 at
about 5 p.m. Officials say Coger
was pronounced dead at a hospital
at 6:23 p.m.

A book youll run through Its bigger

You ran into someone from your
past the other day.
He didnt recognize you, but you
remembered him: same hair, same
walk, same irksome laugh and
swagger. He breezed right past you
and you didnt say a word,
preferring to keep everything
behind you. As in the new novel,
Without Mercy by Bill Bass, if
only it could stay that way.
The boxes of bones pressed upon
him.
Dr. Bill Brockton knew that hed
have to get to them sooner, rather
than later. Once he was finished
studying them, though, he wasnt
sure what to do with the remains of
a long-decimated tribe of Native
Americans; the government had
laws, but no provisions for that kind
of thing.
The bones whispered to him, but
Brockton had other issues on his
mind for one, his research
assistant, Miranda, was nearly done
with her dissertation and would be
leaving soon. That would leave a
hole in Brockton s department.
Then there was the body up in
Cooke County , and the way the
victim died gave Brockton the
chills.
With a fifty-pound logging chain,
the naked man had been attached
by the neck to a tree in the woods.
Someone fed him and kept him
alive long enough to make him
miserable and then the killer
smeared bear bait and raw bacon
on the victim, set a camera in the
branches, and left him to die.
It had been a horrible way to go.
Brockton knew what criminals
were capable of doing, but this
murder left him with nightmares
and too many questions. It
reminded him of how his family
had once been targets of serial
killer Nick Satterfield, who likewise

BOOKWORM SEZ

had a sadistic nasty streak.
But Satterfield was in a maxsecurity prison now, some of
Brocktons Tennessee Bureau of
Investigation colleagues were
helping Brockton identify the
victim of a murder that mightve
been racially motivated, and there
was a pile of Native American
bones to study. Brockton didnt
have time to overthink until
Satterfield escaped from prison,
and he couldnt think about
anything else
In Without Mercy, the tenth
installment of the Body Farm
series, there are some notable

surprises that may rattle fans of Dr.

Brockton.
First, Brockton is aging: authors
Bill Bass and Jon Jefferson give him
a lot more aches and insomnia than
hes had in the past, and he seems
more impatient than ever. Hes not
as self-assured as he was in previous
books, either, and hes increasingly
introspective. Most alarming:
Brockton is bothered by a crime
that he mightve been more
detached from before.
That may be because this book is

more gruesome than all the other

books with Brockton as character.
Theres more blood and (literally)
more guts in this novel, and the
thrills have ratcheted up to tripledigits.
Dont take this book to bed with
you; thats all Im sayin. But if you
do, well, good luck sleeping
tonight. Your heart will pound, your
pulse will race, youll see blood
behind your eyelids, as Without
Mercy is a book youll run
through.

Japanese battleship flag donated at Pearl Harbor

Dianne Hall of Salisbury,
North Carolina, handed over
the flag in a ceremony nearly
75 years after the Dec. 7, 1941,
attack that launched the U.S.
into World War II. Hall's
father, Robert Hartman, was
a U.S. Navy sailor who got
the red and white flag
showing the sun's rays from
the Battleship Nagato after
Japan surrendered.
By AUDREY McAVOY
Associated Press
PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii A

Japanese navy flag that flew on the

battleship of the man who planned
the attack on Pearl Harbor was
donated Thursday to the National
Park Service.
Dianne Hall of Salisbury, North
Carolina, handed over the flag in a
ceremony nearly 75 years after the
Dec. 7, 1941, attack that launched
the U.S. into World War II.
Halls father, Robert Hartman,
was a U.S. Navy sailor who got the
red and white flag showing the
suns rays from the Battleship
Nagato after Japan surrendered.
The Nagato was Admiral Isoroku
Yamamotos flagship during the
bombing of Hawaii. Yamamoto is
credited
with
being
the
mastermind of the attack.
Hall said the flag made of red

and white pieces of wool is deteriorating. It already has a few holes.

It feels good in my heart that its
going somewhere where its going
to be taken care of and where
children, adults different
countries can see this, Hall said.
Her father took the flag on Aug.
30, 1945, when U.S. sailors were
allowed to take memorabilia from
the ship.
Hall remembers using it as a
blanket when she was about 5 and
her family using it as a bedspread
when she was a child. After that, it
was stored away, she said.
She didnt hear the story behind
it until the 1970s when her father
started talking more about World
War II.
Scott Pawlowski, the National

Park Services chief of cultural and

natural resources for the museum
and visitors center at Pearl Harbor,
said officials havent decided how
the flag will be displayed.
He said its not clear whether the
flag was flying on the Nagato when
Yamamoto ordered the attack. But
he said its likely it was on board the
ship, which at the time was in port
in southern Japan.
Pawlowski said its a significant
donation.
Its a witness to both the
message that Yamamoto sent out
for the Japanese to proceed with
the attack on Dec. 7 and it participated in the attack from a distance,
providing cover screening as the
fleet was returning from Hawaiian
waters, he said.

Thus is spoken a phrase

familiar to all Doctor Who fans.
If you are not familiar with
Doctor Who, it is quite understandable, the show has only
within the past 10 years become
insanely popular in the United
States.
Globally however, the show has
been broadcast by the British
Broadcasting Company since
1963. Around the world, the
Doctor is a recognized television
character.
It is very much a part of British
culture, much like long running
shows Gunsmoke and The
Simpsons are to us in the United
States.
I first was introduced to the
Doctor in 1977 when it ran after
school on PBS (the Public Broadcasting Station.) It was so weird
and British that it took me a
while to figure out what was
going on, but when I did I was
hooked. Almost 40 years later, I
am now a full-fledged Whovian,
the name given to fans of the
show.
The show centers around a
character referred to as The
Doctor (his real name always a
mystery) who travels around the
Universe and through time with
many adventures along the way.
The Doctor is never quite sure
where he will end up due to his
time machine, The TARDIS
(Time and Relative Dimension in
Space) being slightly broken.
The TARDIS is the most recognizable icon of the show. It is
shaped like an old British phone
booth and has a mind of its own.
When you enter the TARDIS the
first thing most people say is Its
bigger on the inside.
The Doctor travels with a
companion from Earth, usually
England. With a show being on
for 50 plus years, there have been
quite a number of actors who
have played the role of the
Doctor and his companion.
We are currently on the 12th
Doctor (13th if you count the
War Doctor, but that is a rabbit
hole for another day).
Doctor Who has a huge
fandom now thanks to places like
Hot Topic, Hastings, and now
even large box stores carrying
Doctor Who merchandise.
If you are familiar with how
people geek out over Star Trek
and Star Wars, you will begin to
understand how people feel
about the Doctor.
Fandoms are huge at the
library and a great way to get
people hooked on reading, which
is always my goal.
There are only so many new
episodes or movies out of your
favorite shows, but thanks to
fandoms we also have books that
feature your favorite characters
and Doctor Who is no different
in this regard.
The first question Doctor Who
fans ask each other is Who is
your favorite Doctor? This
question leads us fans into all the
reasons one is better than the
other.
The best responses I have
heard to that question are It
depends on who was the Doctor
when you first started watching
and They are all good! (By the
way, the 10th Doctor is the best.
Allons-y!)
My favorite part of the show
has to be the villains. Since the
Doctor travels the Universe he
has piled up quite a few enemies,
the most recognizable being the
Daleks.
They look a lot like big trash
container robots with bumps all
over them. They are known for
the memorable catchphrases
they spit out in robotic
monotone.
Phrases like: Exterminate!
Exterminate! and You are an
enemy of the Daleks! You must
be destroyed
We also get to meet my second

LIBRARY DIRECTOR

ROYCE KITTS
favorite villains the Cybermen.
Cybermen travel the Universe
turning everyone they meet into
robots who will join them in
converting all intelligent beings
into Cybermen.
The phrase they use is You
must be upgraded. The campy
nature of both of these villains
adds to the humor and
excitement of the show. Things
get a little scary from time to
time, but it is never blood, guts,
and gore type scary. More like
someone jumping from behind a
tree to say Boo!
Hopefully, I gave you enough
information to check it out, or to
decide if this is your type of
entertainment. For those of you
who are interested in getting
some materials from the library
based on the show, I wanted to
highlight just four of the media
types we have here at the library.
With the Doctor Who show
being such a huge hit on
television, it is good to know that
if you are not able to watch it on
cable or satellite, that the library
has quite a few seasons of the
show on DVD.
One of the unique aspects of
the show is that they dont make
a lot of episodes each year, but
they always do a Christmas
themed show and one of my
favorites is the newest one The
Husbands of River Song. River
Song being a recurring character
in the latest reboot of the show.
The library also has quite a few
graphic novels based on the
show. These are my favorites as
they feature Doctors from the
past 50 years. Whether you like
the 1st, 3rd, 10th, 11th, or 12th,
we have a book with him in it.
I know not everyone likes
graphic novels and there are also
people who want to engage in the
character for a longer period of
time than just a television
episode or graphic novel.
For those fans, we also have
novels that feature the Doctor
and his adventures over the
course of a whole book.
And finally, you cant be a show
on for 50 plus years and not have
people write non-fiction books
about all different aspects of the
show.
We have a character encyclopedia and a book of facts about
the show. Truly fun stuff for the
new and old Whovian.
My current favorite is the book
The Doctors are In: The
Essential and Unofficial Guide to
Doctor Whos Greatest Time
Lord. As I stated earlier, some
people take the discussion on
who is the best Doctor very
seriously and this book presents
arguments for all of them.
Well. I hope you stop in and
check this stuff out. As you can
see, I am a huge fan of the show.
And if you want to come in and
talk about it, please do.
See you at your library.

Bear with him Hatcher talks about Bright

Futures at Eta Beta meeting

Eta Beta Chapter of Epsilon Sigma Alpha

In this Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2016 photo, Jim Kowalczik plays with Jimbo, a
1500-pound Kodiak bear, at the Orphaned Wildlife Center in Otisville,
N.Y. (AP Photo/Mike Groll)

Man grabs attention for hugging big bears

By MICHAEL HILL
Associated Press
OTISVILLE, N.Y. Bear hugs
are nothing. Jim Kowalczik hugs
bears.
Kowalczik lies on the ground as
his 1,500-pound bear buddy,
Jimbo, rests a heavy paw on his
waist. He feeds Jimbo a marshmallow from his mouth and laughs
as a big bear tongue slobbers on
his ear.
If that sounds suicidal, consider
that Kowalczik and his wife,
Susan, have cared for Jimbo for
almost 23 years, since the Kodiak
bear first came to the couples
upstate New York haven for
injured or unwanted animals as a
bottle-feeding cub.
Hell play with you all day if
you have the time, Kowalczik says
after a recent horseplay session,
adding that its fortunate the bear
doesnt throw his weight around
casually. If he lays on you, youve
got a problem.
Jimbo is among the 11 bears
living at the couples nonprofit
Orphaned Wildlife Center 60
miles northwest of New York City.
One of them, a black bear named
Frankie, was born in the wild and
found his way here in 2012 after
being hit by a car. The rest of the
bears here were born in captivity,
eight of them Syrian brown bears
or mixes that came from a
breeding program. Jimbo came
from a West Coast game farm
with an injured leg.
There are plenty of wildlife
rehabilitators and other centers
that care for bears. But Kowalczik
has grabbed attention for his
hands-on
approach.
One
Facebook video of him playing
with Jimbo has received more than
16 million views. Kowalczik
describes it as if it was something
as natural as petting your dog. The
bears are like his children, he says,
and they have never injured him.

Theres no false pretenses like

there are with people and stuff,
Kowalczik says. What you see is
what you get.
The couple has been rehabilitating squirrels, ducks, deer, mink
and other animals together since
the early 1990s. The main goal is
to release animals, but the bears
here cannot be released because
of injuries or because they are too
accustomed to captivity.
Bears are in 57-year-old Susan
Kowalcziks bloodline. Her father,
Albert Rix, was a well-known
circus veteran from Germany who
raised Syrian brown bears. Jim, 60,
is a retired corrections officer.
The Kowalcziks funded the
venture out of their own pockets
until creating the nonprofit last
year, which allows them to take
donations. Its still just them, plus
director Kerry Clair, who handles
administrative duties.
The videos help with exposure.
But experts are pretty clear: Do
not get up close with bears, like
Kowalczik does.
Even with captive bears, theres
a chance their instincts will take
over, says Matt Merchant, senior
wildlife biologist with New Yorks
Department of Environmental
Conservation. Plus, there are
inherent dangers of rolling around
with an animal thats threequarters of a ton.
I dont think people get a lot of
good information or education
from that kind of behavior,
Merchant says. Theyd be better
off watching a naturalist show off
bears in the wild, or just going out
and hiking around and seeing
them on their own.
Sitting on the ground next to
Jimbo, Kowalczik shrugs at the
thought of personal danger from
his bear buddies.
Theyre content, theyre happy.
If they werent, Kowalczik pauses
as Jimbo licks him, you would
know it.

Roswell to get new

park near UFO museum
ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) The
city of Roswell is set to get new
$100,000 city park near the International UFO Museum and
Research Center.
UFO Museum Executive
Director Jim Hill told the Roswell
Daily Record this week that work
began a few weeks ago on the
improvement project.
The park will be adjacent to the
museum building, which is one of
the city's major tourist attractions.
Officials say the unfenced park
will use the flowering plant vinca

as ground cover because it

requires relatively little water and
is hearty enough to survive
winters.
The park also will have
walkways for people to travel
through the area.
The museum also has plans to
redesign the interior of the
museum.
Museum
president
Jack
Swickard says UFO Museum is
paying for the park and owns the
property.

Lifelong genealogy researcher

to speak at annual meeting
Kansas Genealogical Society
Kansas Genealogical Society is sponsoring
Scandinavian Genealogy, a program being
presented by Julie (Rilsoe) Ackerman from
Offerle.
Julie has been a teacher, school librarian, a
volunteer member of many groups which deal
with historical significance such as the Edwards
County Historical Society and serves on the
Windhorst Church board and catalogs their
artifacts.
She has been a lifelong genealogy researcher
concentrating on her Norwegian and German
lines. Julie has done extensive research with her
husbands family lines also. As she said, Digging
into history is her life.
Julie will concentrate her presentation on the

Norwegian Rilsoe heritage. In the process of her

research, she and her husband traveled to visit
relatives in Norway.
She will be sharing information on her
research and travels. This will present a unique
opportunity for KGS members and the public to
hear from someone from Southwest Kansas,
who has extensively developed her genealogical
tree in the Scandinavian area.
The meeting will be Thursday, Oct. 13, from 2
to 4 p.m. at the Learning Center in Dodge City.
Address is 310 W. Frontview. This will be the
annual meeting of the Kansas Genealogical
Society with a short business meeting leading
into the main presentation.
All interested members of the public are
invited to attend and share in Julies presentation.

Hints from
Heloise

Pointers for walking your dog

Sudoku Answers

Dear Readers: The weather is cooler

and the leaves are changing. Now is
the perfect time to hit the trails, or the
park, or the neighborhood ... with your
dog. Here are some hints for you when
WALKING YOUR DOG:
* Dogs crave exercise and attention.
Combine the two with a walk. Make
sure the dog has a secure harness or
collar and leash. Find a smooth and
well-lit walking path.
* Clean up after the dog, and dispose
of the waste properly.
* Teach the dog to walk by your side
and not out in front of you. This is
called heel. The dog needs to know
that you are in charge.
* Walk briskly. The dog will learn
that you are the leader.
A routine is critical, too. Keeping the
dog on a schedule will keep him happy,
anticipating spending time with you.
Heloise
PET PAL

Dear Readers: Dave D. in Gibsonia,

Pa., sent a picture of his adorable tricolored beagle, Buddy, looking
earnestly out the window from the
comfy sofa. Dogs crave human companionship. Or is Buddy watching the
squirrels?
To see Buddy and our other Pet Pals,
visit www.Heloise.com and click on
Pet of the Week. To share your funny
and furry friend, send us a picture! We
would love to use it. If you mail a snapshot, we will be happy to scan it and
return the picture to you. Heloise
PRETTY JEWELRY

Dear Readers: Some of you may

have received beautiful jewelry or
P

bought some yourself. Im reprinting

my Heloise Homemade Jewelry
Cleaner formula so you can keep your
jewelry looking new.
Work in a ventilated area. Mix equal
parts ammonia and water in a small
bowl. Immerse pieces in the solution
and leave for a few minutes. Remove
and gently loosen any debris from
prongs, etc., with a soft toothbrush.
Rinse with warm water, and dry with a
hand towel or microfiber cloth.
Caveats: The solution is only for
genuine GOLD and DIAMOND jewelry. It is NOT for jewelry with pearls,
opals or other soft stones.
I have compiled into a pamphlet a
collection of my favorite homemade
cleaning solutions using everyday
common household staples. If youd
like to order one, visit my website,
www.Heloise.com, or send a long,
stamped (68 cents), self-addressed,
envelope, along with $5, to: Heloises
Homemade Cleaning Solutions, P.O.
Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 782795001. NEVER mix ammonia with
bleach! This will form toxic fumes.

SCOOTING IS NOT CUTE

Hi, Heloise: When a dog scoots

across the carpet, this is not funny. The
dog needs to go to the veterinarian and
have its anal glands drained. Grace
G., Ventura, Calif.
This is an important reminder. Dogs
normally empty the anal glands when
they have a bowel movement. Ask
your dogs doctor about this at your
pets annual exam. Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Oct.

17, 2016:
This year you have a lot going on, and
you possess a strong drive to achieve
your goals. Your domestic life could witness some changes, possibly a new addition or a change of residence. Some of
you might find that your perspective also
experiences a transformation. If you are
single, someone you see every day could
become quite desirable. Explore that possibility. If you are attached, you could
find your home life to be somewhat
volatile. Issues will be resolved if you
and your sweetie can learn to speak to
each other as you once did. TAURUS can
be quite stubborn.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day Youll
Have:
5-Dynamic;
4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

#### Your active dream life often
energizes you, as it will today. Others
appreciate your ability to understand,
integrate and come up with winning
ideas. Be a friends cheerleader, as he or
she seems to lack the confidence to head
in a new direction. Tonight: Run errands
on the way home.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
##### Listen to a friend who can be
somewhat flaky. You might have a difficult time embracing everything this person says. Ask questions, if need be.
Detach, and you will be able to open up
to a different yet successful approach.
Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks

off.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
### Be open to new information, even
if it does not compute at first. You often
make snap judgments. Sit on what you
hear for now, and keep that information
to yourself. A business relationship might
be changing because the other party is
evolving. Tonight: Opt for quiet.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
##### Youll get past a problem as
long as you remain sensitive to other
points of view. Once you detach, you can
see the validity of different ideas. A partner or loved one might intimidate you at
times. Build your self-confidence.
Tonight: Favorite person, favorite place.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
#### Tension builds as you realize
how important your actions are to others,
be it at work or in some other area of
your life. Use your imagination, and tap
into a loved ones ideas as well. Be willing to push a project to completion.
Expect changes. Tonight: Burn the candle at both ends.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
#### You could feel that kicking back
and allowing others to play a more dominant role suits you perfectly. Your creativity might push you to detach. Worry
less and listen more. Recognize how
much passion you have for a certain key
matter. Tonight: In the swing of things.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
#### One-on-one relating continues
to be instrumental in achieving an important financial goal. A family member
might be too determined to get what he
or she wants. On one hand, you could
feel boxed in, yet on the other hand, you
might feel relieved. Tonight: Go along
with plans.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
#### Bending to others will is not
easy for you, but today youll see the
validity and importance of letting someone else take the lead. You might not like
being behind the scenes, but youll

accept it. Touch base with your inner self

and deal with your feelings. Tonight:
Hang out.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
#### Reach out to someone at a distance; his or her perspective always
enlightens you and allows you to move
past a problem. Finances play an important role in making any decisions right
now. Accept a changeable situation.
Tonight: Choose a preferred stressbuster.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
##### Allow more spontaneity and
creativity into your life. Your perspective
can change if you make an effort to act
more impulsively. Trust your inner voice,
and you are more likely to make positive
choices. Your personality might be transforming. Tonight: Make time for fun.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
### Stay centered despite what is happening. You might have a difficult time
holding back right now. You could discover that your instincts are off or that
your feelings are related to something
else. Understand where others are coming from. Tonight: Head home. Get some
extra R and R.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
##### Your words mean a lot to
those around you; they inspire people to
get past their self-imposed limitations.
You know what is possible, and you
might not understand why others dont
see what you see. A friend could be
unusually demanding. Tonight: Return
calls and emails first.

Whatever the date will be for the 2017 game between

Great bend and Liberal, Redskins might already he circling
it after a chippy game that had Great Bend coach Erin Beck
on the field questioning the spotting of the ball by the
officials, Liberal coach Caleb Cline on the field questioning
the end zone live video feed on the Panther sideline, and an
ejection of Great Bend standout quarterback Jacob Murray
after having an altercation with Liberal defenders after a
sack Friday night at Redskin Field.
Great Bend came away with the 49-7 win, but until a late
92-yard pass play by back-up Panther quarterback Koy
Brack to Brayden Smith, the yardage difference between
Liberal and Great Bend was only 40 yards.
For the Redskins, the strategy was to control the ball and
the clock, and they did that. But their drive stalled without
scoring points, and the fast-strike Panthers were able to use
mid-field position to move the ball into the end zone.
Great Bend ran a total of 38 plays while the Redskins ran
65.
But mistakes by the Redskins that led to negative yards
either by missed blocks or penalties killed drives.
Great Bend senior quarterback Murray was able to
maintain drives for the Panthers.
Liberals first drive of the game took 16 plays and eightand-a-half minutes to move the ball 38 yards and included
two fourth-down conversions.
But when the drive stalled at the Panther 42 yard line,
Great Bend put together a seven-play drive that also
included a fourth-and-9 conversion, and a 37-yard pass form
Murray to Bryce Lytle was just out of the reach of Liberals
Tyrique Chandler at the goal line, and Great Bend took a 70 lead.
The Panthers quickly jumped out to 14-0 when a threeand-out by the Redskins and a punt return to the redskins 23
yard line led to back-to-back runs by Murray that landed him
in the end zone.
Liberal put together another sustained drive, this time a
40-yard drive on 15 plays.
But it again stalled at the Panther 40 yard line, and Great
bend only needed eight plays to march 60 yards that
included a 17-yard touchdown run by Cal Marshall, and
Great Bend led 21-0 with 1:16 remaining in the half.
The Panthers onsided the kick-off and recovered at the
Redskin 46.
Five plays later, they tacked on another touchdown with a
21-yard run by Marshall to take a 28-0 lead.
With only 41 seconds in the half, the redskins pushed the
ball inside the Panther 10 yard line on a 31-yard run by
Cesar Burciaga, but time expired on the first half.

Liberals Syris Dunlap runs out of bounds while Great Bends Mason YellowWolf attempts to strip the ball Friday night at
Redskin Field.After back-to-back rushing games of 200-plus yards, Dunlap was held to 34 yards on 19 carries against the
Panthers in a 49-7 loss. L&T photo/Earl Watt
Great Bend opened the second half with a six-play, 65yard drive that included a 43-yard scramble for a touchdown
by Murray, and Great Bend had a 35-0 lead.
Another failed fourth-down conversion by the Redskins at

the 50 yard line allowed Great Bend to take advantage of

another short field, and tow plays later, the Panthers were

back in the end zone on a 25-yard

pass from Murray to Marshall for a
42-0 Panther lead.
After a seven-play redskin drive
stalled, they punted and forced the
Panthers to start at their own 20
yard line for the first time all game.
On the second play of the drive,
Murray attempted to scramble but
was met by several Redskin
defenders for a two-yard sack. As
the pile was filing off, the official
threw a penalty flag, and Murray
was given an unsportsmanlike
conduct penalty and ejected from
the game.
The Panthers punted, and
Liberal put together a 17-play
drive, but again, it stalled at the
Panther 7 yard line.
After shutting down two straight
Panther runs, back-up quarterback
Koy Brack threw a seam pass to
Brayden Smith who broke free for a
92-yard touchdown and a 49-0
Panther lead.
Liberal answered with a nineplay, 65-yard scoring drive that
included a 23-yard sweep run by
Tyrique Chandler and a three-yard

touchdown plunge by Zach

Mansell, and Liberal avoided the
shutout, 49-7.
We knew what their quarterback
was, and they had an explosive
offense, Cline said. We wanted to
milk the clock and make long drives
to the end zone. First drive was
nice, we just didnt punch it in or
get any scores out of it. If we could
have completed some of those
drives with scores, it would have
been a better night.
Cline gave Great Bend credit for
their talent.
We had our hands full, he said.
They have a lot of weapons. The
mismatches caught us. We have to
do a better job of gang tackling and
not making mistakes. The blown
coverages came back to bite us.
Mansell rushed for 104 yards
against the Panthers, almost exclusively up the middle.
We were alright between the
tackles, Cline said. It was
offtackle that we had breakdowns.
We were not getting to linebackers,
not maintaining our blocks and not
sealing the backside off. Bottom
line is you have to win all of those
for a play to hit.

Great Bend, Liberal always chippy

GOAL

EARL WATT

Before the lights were even turned out

at Redskin Field on Great Bends
thrashing of Liberal, social media was
already buzzing, with pro-Great Bend
folks taking shots at the officials, the
Redskins and the Liberal coaches.
For the record, there were 10 penalties Friday night,
four on the Panthers for 49 yards and six on the
Redskins for 40 yards. Doesnt really seem like a very
one-sided effort.
High school athletes can say things they shouldnt, or
fail to stop on the whistle, and for some reason, the
game with Great Bend has become one of those games
where emotions are heightened.
Im sure Liberal fans or players have had a hand in
this over the years, but it certainly isnt a one-way street.
I have had my car Vaselined in Great Bend, and often
Panther fans sit alongside Redskin fans in the visitor
section when the game is in Great Bend, and words are
shared.
Great Bend also had a pre-game ritual a few years

back of bringing a pirate flag and sticking it in the

middle of their opponents field. That ended after a
bench-clearing altercation in Dodge City when the Red
Demons took offense to the provocation.
With Liberal and Great Bend, each side has had long
runs of success against the other.
Liberal dominated the 1990s and early 2000s during a
run of winning four state championships and making
deep runs into the playoffs on an annual basis, and the
Panthers have had Liberals number for the past 10
years.
The Panthers have great senior talent and are having a
great season at 7-0. Liberal (4-3) is a younger squad,
and both Liberal middle schools dominated Great
Bend, a sign that the tide will likely be changing soon.
Not being regional rivals, Ive never understood why
the Panthers and Redskins have bad blood.
As far as Friday, Great Bend took the day. For some
to go to social media to take shots is exactly what you
can expect from the Facebook crowd.
But there is no denying theres something there,
something that gets close to being personal. Lets
remember this is high school football.

No. 2 Laverne clobbers Cardinals

By JASON EPP
Leader &Times
LAVERNE, Okla.- For the
second straight week the Turpin
Cardinals faced an undefeated and
top-ranked opponent, and faced
the same fate. This time is was the
second-ranked Laverne Tigers who
dominated
the
Cardinals
throughout, on their way to a 50-0
mercy rule win.
Turpin was held to just 80 yards
of total offense on 41 plays, and
averaged just 1.4 yards per rush
throughout the game. Meanwhile,

Laverne scored on all seven

offensive possessions and racked
up 292 yards of offense on just 24
plays in the first half.
Turpin did threaten to score on
two drives. After a lost fumble on
their first drive, Turpin moved the

ball from their own 35 to the

Laverne 19, where they faced a
third and four. But a bad shotgun
snap when over quarterback Trevor
Motes head, and ended the scoring
threat.
On the Cardinals final drive of
the first half, a good kickoff return
had Turpin starting their drive at
the 45. Turpin moved the ball
converting a 4th and 4, then a 3rd
and 2. Turpin then faced a 4th and
1 at the Laverne 2-yard line on the
twelfth play of the drive, but were
stonewalled and dropped for a twoyard loss on the play.

Trevor Mote finished the game 5

of 9 passing for 35 yards, but only
rushed for 19 yards on 19 carries.
Alex Jimenez fran 9 times for 20
yards, and caught two passes for
five yards.. Isaiah Villalobos caught
2 passes for 12 yards.
Turpins three losses have come
at the hands of three teams ranked
second, third, and fourth in the
state and have a combined record
of 20-0. The road does not get
much easier this week when Turpin
takes on 6-1 Seiling.

Cubs, Indians, Dodgers, Jays aim to end decades-old droughts

Wherever he goes these days,
Dodgers outfielder Andre Ethier
runs into friends, neighbors and
total strangers who want to talk.
Mostly, they want to ask
questions. Very similar questions.
I cant tell you how many people
from the regular haunts I go
through LA now my restaurants,
my places I get coffee that know
me that for the last five, six years in
the neighborhood I live in are
always, Hey, when are we going to
win the World Series? How is Vin
doing?
Cleveland hasnt won it all since
1948 thats two years before Vin
Scully began calling Dodgers
games. And the Cubs have been
waiting since 1908 thats before
there even was a commercial radio
station.
Among the four teams still in the
playoffs, Toronto most recently
won the World Series. The Blue

Jays took two in row, capped by Joe

Carters game-ending homer in
1993 against Phillies reliever Mitch
Williams.
That makes it 23 years since any
of the final four clubs won the title.
Since baseball went to a League
Championship Series format, never
before have all four remaining
teams waited so long.
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons
is eager to bring this years trophy
to Toronto.
Id always heard the stories of
back in the heyday when they won
the back-to-back World Series and
when the new stadium opened up,
there wasnt a better baseball town
out there, he said Friday before
Game 1 of the AL Championship
Series at Cleveland.
Cubs shortstop Addison Russell
preferred to focus on the present,
rather than the Billy Goat Curse
and things in the past.

We dont care about the goat.

We dont care about the last time
that the Cubs won, he said at
Wrigley Field, a day Chicago

hosted the Dodgers in the NLCS

opener.
Nah. Thats like the least thing
on our mind, he said.
