Seeking financial stability

Clark takes over in first meeting as head of Flint Hills Regional Council

COUNCIL GROVE The Flint Hills Regional Council is running out of money. During its board meeting Friday, the councils new executive director, William Clark, said his top priority is figuring out how to make the organization financially sustainable. At the end of (2014), the Flint Hills Regional Council as we know it is no longer funded, Clark said during his first meeting as acting director. The Flint Hills Regional Council (FHRC) is a self-described convening agent of local Kansas governments from Clay, Dickinson, Geary, Morris, Riley and Pottawatomie counties and respective municipalities in those areas. Its goals focus on mutual benefits for area communities through applying for grants, sharing resources and planning for the regions future. No funds for the FHRC would mean none of those benefits for its member communities. It was announced Clark would become the FHRCs new director in July during his retirement ceremony on Fort Riley. The organization had been searching for a new director since Ty Warner left in December. But Clark took over an organization facing financial uncertainty. Currently, about 80 percent of the FHRCs expenses are covered by a $2 million grant from United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Clark, a retired colonel and former Fort Riley garrison commander, in his three weeks with the FHRC already has made the councils sustainability his top priority. Hes also promised to keep the council updated on his mission to find new funding sources. What you can expect from me as your director is brutal honesty, Clark said as board members gathered around tables in the basement of the Hays House restaurant turned to listen. I will tell you every fact that I know. The first fact is the FHRC will be OK through 2014. In 2014, well be able to pay our bills, Clark said. The organization will be solvent in 2014. But after that, the future is uncertain for the organization. To continue to receive funds from the HUD grant, which Please see Flint

The proposal for a resort on Clinton Lake that had received support from state officials has tanked. A notice sent out by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and provided to The Daily Union states developers, the evaluation team and Gov. Sam Brownback concluded in a recent meeting the resort on Clinton Lake near Lawrence would not be/could not be financially feasible for the state of Kansas. The project, the Corps of Engineers notice stated, will be cancelled and the bid received from LodgeWell, will be rejected. That rejection could open the door for a $7 million expansion to Acorns Resort on Milford Lake to be a one-of-a-kind attraction in the state if it ever gets off the ground. Acorns owner Mike

Harris has said hed like to see his current facilities, located on Milford Lake at 3710 Farnum Creek Road, become a true lakeside resort. Calls to Harris were not returned as of press time Friday. LodgeWell was the only developer to submit a bid in July for the Clinton Lake resort. The plans could have included a 175room hotel, resort and conference facility. Officials from the state, Lawrence and Douglas County had been working to determine the feasibility of the project. Preliminary plans for Acorns a mostly private venture, unlike the Clinton Lake resort would add a hotel, an indoor and outdoor restaurant and other amenities to its current lodging and water activities offerings. But Harris has met mixed responses from Geary County officials. Please see Resort, 12A

Anyone who has spent five minutes in Junction City knows during the workweek, you cant go anywhere without seeing soldiers from Fort Riley in their battle dress uniforms. However, when they are seen in Junction City, soldiers are typically on their way to Fort Riley, on their lunch break, having dinner or heading home at night. That often leaves the question open of what are all these soldiers doing during the workday on Fort Riley. Command Sergeant Major Christopher Gilpin tried to provide some insight and answer that very question during Thursday mornings Military Affairs Council breakfast. Six enlisted soldiers introduced themselves to about 100 in attendance at the monthly gathering. These are the examples of some of our junior enlisted soldiers, Gilpin said. They are motivated, intelligent, articulate and they are the reason we are successful as an army. Their hard work accomplishing assigned

missions is how we are successful today. Everything starts when soldiers reach their duty station of Fort Riley. Gilpin said in any given week, 120 new soldiers arrive at Fort Riley. They then spend five days at the welcome center filling out paperwork, go through briefings and ensuring their transition to the installation is smooth They then head to their assigned housing, whether that is for single or married soldiers. There are a total of about 19,000 soldiers and 26,000 family members to accommodate. Single soldiers live in barracks that include a private area for individual soldiers with shared areas also. That is much different than years ago, where four or six soldiers would live in an area with little privacy.

Command Sergeant Major Christopher Gilpin speaks to those in attendance at the MAC breakfast.
mechanical inspections and field exercises. Gunnery in the field is key as soldiers prepare for war time missions, Gilpin said. In order to go on a war time mission, the crews have to be qualified on the weapon systems, he said. Thats where they demonstrate the ability to destroy targets. Live fire training also is occurring on Fort Riley. Gilpin said that starts at the lowest levels, including dry runs, blanks, live fire and then night fire. It also includes mortar fire, building clearing and infantry squad maneuvers. If a unit is not in the training cycle, soldiers are detailed out around post, including working in the gym, performing services, cleaning up training areas and cutting the grass on post. Schools and education also are key to a soldiers regular development and includes equipment training, noncommissioned officers school and drivers training. During the time when the soldiers are out training, support soldiers, such as those focused on financial, legal, supplies, administrative and intelligence also are working alongside those soldiers training. All this is geared toward the end result to prepare out soldiers on a

For Philip Orr, traveling to Junction City from across the pond was an epic journey. With a smile, the Irish businessman talked about his long travel schedule and the warmth of Kansas, while sitting inside his UPU Industries, Inc. building. Its starting to feel like winter is about to arrive, Orr said about Ireland. I like the sunshine because it make you feel good, even though it was a long journey to get here. For the Chief Executive Officer, it also felt good to

recognize his employees, who worked half a decade at the local facility, which produces bale netting and pallet wrap for agricultural and industrial purposes. Orr makes the trip to Kansas annually to honor the workers. The four employees recognized Thursday morning for five years of service included, Josh Loehr, Tom Miller, Felix Meran and Derrell Wilmer. Its very pleasing, Orr

said. It gives us the opportunity to recognize those individuals for the length of time theyve been here. The employees received a plaque, coat and a check for $750. Miller enjoys working for the company and with his current supervisor Alec Hayes because of his people skills. That make it a pleasant work environment, Miller said.

Brazil family fights to keep house-trained tigers US, Iran

Associated Press
MARINGA, Brazil Dan slurped desperately on his pink nursing bottle and spilled milk all over the place, while his brother Tom patiently waited to take a swim in the family pool. It would be a typical family scene if not for the fact that Dan and Tom tip the scales at 700 pounds, have claws that could slice a man in two and were raised along with seven other tigers sleeping in the beds of Ary Borges three daughters. The big cats still amble about his humble home in the middle of an industrial neighborhood in this southern Brazil city, even if experts say the situation is crazy and sure to eventually lead to a mauling, though one has yet to occur. Borges also has two lions, a monkey, and a pet Chihuahua named Little inside his makeshift animal sanctuary, where man and beast live together in his spacious red-dirt compound, separated from the outside world by tall metal fences and high wooden walls. The Brazilian family is now locked in a legal dispute for the cats, with federal wildlife officials working to take them away. While Borges does have a license to raise the animals, Brazilian wildlife officials say he illegally bred the tigers, creating a public danger. Borges says it all started in 2005 when he first rescued two abused tigers from a traveling circus. He defends his right to breed the animals and argues he gives them a better home than they might find elsewhere in Brazil. Sadly there are so many animals dying in zoos that have no oversight. My animals are treated extremely

leaders talk for first time since 1979

One of the tigers gets fed. The family is fighting to keep the tigers.
well ... were preserving and conserving the species, he said. We have a great team of veterinarians. We give them only the best, but were being persecuted. Ibama, Brazils environmental protection agency that also oversees wildlife, declined repeated requests for comment. The agency is working through courts to force Borges to have the male tigers undergo vasectomies so they cant reproduce. It also wants his caretaker license confiscated and to obtain the cats. Borges appealed and the matter is pending before a federal court. Borges has strong support in Maringa for his cause, and earlier this year the city council passed a measure that banned vasectomies on wild animals within city limits. Next door to the tiger compound, Marli Mendes can see the big cats from her office window. I have nothing against them, they really dont bother, she says. So far, there have been no incidents with the tigers turning aggressive, which the Borges family attributes to cats being raised in such close proximity with humans. Arys daughter Nayara Borges, 20, who grew up with the tiger cubs sleeping in her bed until they became too big, says she thinks the big cats would be mistreated if taken away, and our family would go into a severe depression. Her sister Uyara, 23, agreed, saying the cats are family after spending so many years with the Borges. At first we were scared of them, but as time went on, we saw them every day, fed them, gave them baths and water, and we started to fall in love with them, Uyara said. We never thought we could live with such ferocious animals. Uyara trusts the cats so much, she even allows her 2-year-old daughter Rayara to sit atop them. Experts, however, sharply question the Borges familys efforts. Its crazy, said Patty Finch, executive director of the Washington-based Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries. Its a very dangerous situation, especially if there are young children around, they easily trigger a tigers hunting instinct. Finch said that you will see people sometimes get lucky for a while, but sooner or later an accident is going to happen. You never know whats going to set these animals off because theyre wild. Instead of promoting the animals welfare, Finch said the Borges have done the opposite. Breeding in captivity doesnt help conserve the tigers unless theyre bred

Associated Press in their native habitat and there is a plan to release them, she said. They cant get habituated to people. Theyre condemning these tigers to a life of captivity. Upkeep for the tigers and lions costs about $9,000 per month. Borges pays for it by renting the tigers out for movie and commercial shoots, charging $9,000 a day, and with the money he makes in running a dog kennel within his compound. Inside a high fenced-in area where the tigers now sleep, Borges roughhoused with the animals, playfully slapping one on the flank and then leapt atop him, holding onto the animals fur with both fists and grinning widely as the cat growled. My father would die or kill himself if these tigers are taken away, Uyara said. Theyre everything to us, theyre my brothers. Weve lived with them day and night for eight years.

Obamas no-negotiation stance setting new tone

Associated Press
WASHINGTON This time, President Barack Obama says, hes not budging. This is the confrontational Obama, the Make my day president, betting Republicans blink to avoid a government shutdown or a first-ever default of the nations debts. Its a proposition not without risk and one with a history of lastminute accommodations on both sides. Brinkmanship between Obama and congressional Republicans has often stopped at the precipices edge. In this round, however, the president and his aides maintain that when it comes to raising the governments borrowing authority and meeting its debt obligations, theres no bargaining. To conservatives wishing to undo the 3-yearold health care law in exchange for an increase in the nations credit, Obama on Friday said bluntly: Thats not going to happen. I dont know how I can be more clear about this: Nobody gets to threaten the full faith and credit of the United States just to extract political concessions, Obama said in a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room. Still, House Speaker John Boehner says a debt hike must be linked to budget cuts and other programmatic changes. The president says, Im not going to negotiate, Boehner said. Well, Im sorry, but it just doesnt work that way. Obamas stance is rooted in experience, politics and a desire to protect himself from similar demands in the remaining three years of his presidency. Obama advisers note that past negotiations have not yielded grand bargains and that the mere threat of default in 2011 rattled the economy, causing a downgrade in U.S. credit. Talks earlier this year to avoid automatic spending cuts known as sequestration also failed. Obama aides also note that Boehner himself eight months ago declared an end to negotiations with Obama, favoring the regular legislative process instead. That process has proved messy for the GOP, and senior White House aides insist that in a standoff, Republicans will be perceived as the unreasonable party. And the White House is convinced any concession would place the president in the position of having to bargain again and again when the next debt ceiling looms. Im not going to start setting a precedent, not just for me, but for future presidents, where one chamber in Congress can basically say each time there needs to be a vote to make sure Treasury pays its bills, were not going to sign it unless our particular hobby horse gets advanced, Obama said Friday. His advisers only see a downside if Obama doesnt stand his ground. Every poll Ive seen suggests that while no one escapes cleanly from a shutdown, the GOP would bear the brunt, former senior White House counselor and Obama adviser David Axelrod said. The bigger danger for the president is to put himself in a position to be constantly held hostage. First they want an arm. Then they want a leg. Its unsustainable.

WASHINGTON Breaking a third-of-a-century diplomatic freeze, President Barack Obama and new Iranian President Hassan Rouhani spoke by telephone on Friday and, in a historic shift from years of unwavering animosity, agreed to work toward resolving their deep dispute over Tehrans nuclear efforts. Rouhani, who earlier in the day called the United States a great nation, reached out to arrange the call. The White House said an encouraging meeting between Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif this week was a crucial factor in the thaw. While there will surely be important obstacles to moving forward, and success is by no means guaranteed, I believe we can reach a comprehensive solution, Obama told reporters at the White House. Rouhani, at a news conference in New York, linked the U.S. and Iran as great nations, a remarkable reversal from the anti-American rhetoric of his predecessors, and he expressed hope that at the very least the two governments can stop the escalation of tensions. Rouhani has repeatedly stressed that he has full authority in his outreach to the U.S., a reference to the apparent backing by Irans ultimate decisionmaker: Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Such support would give Rouhani a political mandate that could extend beyond the nuclear issue to possible broader efforts at ending the long estrangement between Washington and Tehran. It remains unclear, however, whether obstacles will be raised by Irans hard-line forces such the powerful Revolutionary Guard, which had warned Rouhani about moving too fast with his overtures with the West. Fridays telephone call Obama at the White House, Rouhani in a limousine on the way to the airport after diplomatic meetings at the United Nations marked perhaps the most hopeful steps toward reconciliation in decades.

From the Editors desk Betting it all

orking in a newspaper office has to be one of the best atmospheres anywhere. I cant imagine anything better than being in the newsroom when reporters are on deadline or discussions about how to cover a story or whats going on the world get passionate and even sometimes heated. But theres something even better about a newsroom and those who work at a paper. It feels more like a family most of the time than a workplace. So, with that, comes interesting dynamics, friendships and situations. Having so many people from different areas of the country here makes it even more interesting. I cant lie, its especially fun during the college and pro football seasons. I love those K-State people wearing their purple every Friday before game day and loving their team no matter what. The battle between KU and K-State fans is intriguing. Its also interesting to L isa watch folks from other areas and S eiser states give them both the business every chance they can. With Wisconsin being in the Big 10, I dont catch much grief. Well, that was until this week. I am a person of my word, so there will be no dumping out of this wager. However, I am concerned I will have to pay up. On Monday, I walked into the office and was immediately greeted by our circulation manager Matt Bailey with a question about whether we should bet on the football game between the 24thranked Wisconsin Badgers and the No. 4 Ohio State Buckeyes. Lets just say Im not a morning person and wasnt fully functioning. OK, so he caught me off guard big time. Also, I am just a little competitive and certainly wasnt about to let this relatively new guy intimidate me. So the bet is on. No, theres not a single penny in it for either of us. Instead, its about bragging rights and embarrassment for the fan of the losing squad. Heres the situation. I am asking all you K-State fans whose team is not playing this weekend to cheer for the underdog Badgers in this Saturday night matchup. I need all the help I can get. On Monday morning, the loser will pay up. Make sure you go to our Facebook page to find out the stakes of the bet. One of us is going to be looking very sad. If only the bet was to provide some beer and cheese.

Going to hell (without a handbasket) W

hile writing my latest book, Killing Jesus, I knew I would catch hell once it hit the marketplace. Your mom was right when she told you never to discuss politics and religion, because emotions run so high in those arenas. Especially religion. Even before Killing Jesus was released, the mail began pouring in. And some of it was very nasty. Brent in Texas opined: OReilly, you are not someone who has the right to write a book about Jesus. Eric in South Carolina: You are helping to deceive people with your ignorance about Jesus. Al in Louisiana: Bill, what do you know about Jesus? You are Catholic, and they dont know anything about the Bible. And Raleigh in California really let loose with some disturbing stuff: Bill, please repent before it is too late. You seem to be angry at God because he put a black man in the White House. Of course, none of these folks had actually read Killing Jesus, because it had not been released. The book is pure history; there is no religion in it.

A bet to go back on?

Bill Oreilly
Commentary The people lashing out at me for daring to address their savior in any capacity are so intense in their beliefs that they have lost all sight of reality. Now, a sad fact of life in America is that there are some very unstable folks running around, and they have always been with us. But from my perch as a national TV commentator, I can tell you with certainty that the level of fanaticism is rising not only here, but all over the world. The reason is the Internet. In the past, kooks were kind of isolated. But now they can find other loons in cyberspace with whom to commiserate. That encourages bizarre behavior, as disturbed people think their outlook is acceptable because others are saying the same thing on their machines.

The chief al-Qaida recruiting tool is the Internet. Neo-Nazis campaign heavily in cyberspace. NAMBLA, the child rape club, has a worldwide presence on the Net. There is little anyone can do with fanatics. Reasoning with them is a fools errand. Avoiding them is mandatory. These people are dangerous. They spread poison and could not care less who they hurt. Thus, the Internet has become a hate-filled town square with no limits put on destructive verbal behavior. And millions of children have access to all the vitriol. Freedom has always had a downside. With technology allowing for instant communication, hate groups, perverts and killers now have many more opportunities to cause harm than ever before. Again, theres little anyone can do about it. But everyone should be aware of it.

Letter to the Editor Resident against casino

To the Editor:

Conservatives oppose Obamacare because it may succeed E

ven acknowledging that our national politics have become increasingly contentious, heres a development that is really odd: Two billionaire brothers are spending millions of dollars to try to persuade young Americans not to buy health insurance. Whats up with that? The industrialist Koch brothers, David and Charles, are among the very richest Americans indeed, among the very richest people on the planet. They are not merely members of the 1 percent; theyre in the topmost fraction of the 1 percent. That means that they not only can afford to buy health insurance for themselves, but they can also buy physicians, hospitals, medical labs and pharmacies if they choose to do so. They have access to the very best medical care that money can buy -- and, in America, thats the difference between life and death. But unlike, say, Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, the Koch brothers have not concerned themselves with trying to make life a bit more comfortable and pleasant for others. Oh, no. The Koch brothers are the very stereotype of the greedy and selfish hyper-rich, the poster boys for self-interested plutocracy. They want to control the countrys politics no matter who gets hurt in their grab for power. Thats why theyve funded ultraconservative candidates and political causes over the past couple of decades. Their to-do list includes aiding the effort to torpedo the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, popularly known as Obamacare. Among the political groups they fund is an outfit called Generation Opportunity, which is running a creepy ad to persuade young women of a lie: that Obamacare comes

our article penned by Mr. Weideman prompted me to say that I am against a casino being operated in Geary County. You can rest assured that I am not alone in my opposition, whether publicly said or not. The Chamber of Commerce should stay out of this debate. There is nothing to be gained by taking a position and much could be lost. Mr. Weigand and the Chamber Board members would be wise to stop investing any time, effort, or energy on this. Finally Mr. Rothlisberg should be ashamed. This man was elected as a Republican, yet he has opposed Governor Brownback all too often. As an advocate for the casino idea at the legislative level, one would expect him to be knowledgeable and have some facts and figures to demonstrate the reasons he supports it. Unless the Unions reporting was lacking he didnt have any hard numbers to share at the meeting. Shame on you Allan Rothlisberg.

cynthia tucker
Commentary between a patient and her physician. The Koch brothers know that the new health care paradigm depends on enlisting healthy young adults people who tend to take the risk that they dont need health insurance into the system. If they dont sign up, the new exchanges wont have enough vigorous and youthful Americans to help pay the way for the sick and frail. Insurance companies need to be able to spread the costs around so they dont go bankrupt trying to care for the ailing. But the Koch brothers, like most conservatives, want Obamacare to fail. They are not concerned that the new health care law, which would extend insurance to the vast majority for the first time in history, is a government takeover of medicine or a jobs-killer or a ruinous new entitlement. None of that is true. (See factcheck.org or Politifact.com for actual facts about Obamacare.) Nope, the real concern of most conservatives is that Obamacare will work, proving popular over the long run. Think about it: If they are so certain that the law will collapse under its own weight, why not step aside and allow it to do so? Why do they need to try to defund it and create creepy ads trying to persuade young people not to buy in? Why did they warn the National Foot-

ball League not to promote the new health care exchanges? If Obamacare succeeds, the generations-long conservative war against activist government would have lost another major battle, and more voters would be persuaded to vote for progressives. Thats the reason conservatives went all-out to defeat President Clintons similar health care proposal during his first term. As Weekly Standard editor William Kristol, then fresh off his stint as Vice President Dan Quayles chief of staff, wrote in 1993: ... the long-term political effects of a successful Clinton health care bill will ... relegitimize middle-class dependence for security on government spending and regulation. It will revive the reputation of the party that spends and regulates, the Democrats, as the generous protector of middle-class interests. There you have it. They dont dare allow Obamacare to proceed unimpeded because Americans might come to like it and depend on it, as the elderly like and depend on Medicare. Indeed, conservatives, including Ronald Reagan, fought the creation of Medicare, claiming it was pure socialism. Meanwhile, the Americans who would suffer most if Obamacare doesnt succeed are those without health insurance or the promise of decent medical care. That includes the young adults who could be victims of terrible accidents or unforeseen diseases. Not that the Koch brothers care about them.

Missouri man gets life sentence for robbing banks

JEFFERSON CITY A 40-year-old man with a history of robbing banks in Kansas and Missouri has been sentenced to life in prison for two holdups he was convicted of committing last year. The U.S. Attorneys office says Eddie Prince Roberts, of Columbia, wont be eligible for parole under the sentence he received Friday in federal court. Roberts was convicted earlier of robbing Boone County National Bank in Columbia of more than $4,400 in April 2012, and Landmark Bank in Columbia of roughly $8,200 the following month. He was arrested after the Landmark robbery following a foot chase in which he fought with an officer and was shot during the encounter. Roberts was convicted in 1993 of robbing five banks in Kansas. He was also convicted of robbing a Missouri bank in 2000.

News from around Kansas

the 215th birthday of its namesake and mascot Saturday in the Memorial Union. The Topeka school started in 1865 as Lincoln College but changed its name three years later after receiving $25,000 from Ichabod Washburn. He developed a machine and technique that made wire stronger and easier to produce. The company he and his son-in-law ran was the primary domestic producer of piano wire and the crinoline wire used in hoop skirts. As an abolitionist, Washburn liked what the fledging Kansas school was doing. The school included men, women and an African-American in its first enrolled class. The college also offered scholarships to honorably discharged Union soldiers among others. Washburn lived in Massachusetts and died before getting a chance to visit the campus. Emergency Management said Friday that Brownback requested the declaration in a letter to President Barack Obama sent through the Kansas City, Mo., regional office of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The letter was dated Wednesday. A series of storms hit Kansas between July 22 and Aug. 16, producing significant damage from high winds and flooding. The storms were blamed on four deaths. Brownback said in his letter that some of the areas received as much as 500 percent of their normal rainfall total for that time of year, resulting in many roads, bridges and other infrastructure being damaged. For those families that lost loved ones, life can never return to what it was and to them I extend my sincere condolences, Brownback said. This federal assistance will at least help the affected counties restore their damaged infrastructure so their residents can resume their normal routines. Brownback is seeking a declaration for Barber, Barton, Bourbon, Butler, Chase, Cherokee, Clark, Clay, Cloud, Coffey, Comanche, Cowley, Crawford, Dickinson, Edwards, Elk, Ellsworth, Ford, Geary, Greenwood, Hamilton, Harper, Harvey, Hodgeman, Kingman, Kiowa, Labette, Lane, Linn, Lyon, Marion, McPherson, Meade, Montgomery, Morris, Ness, Ottawa, Pawnee, Pratt, Reno, Republic, Rice, Saline, Sumner, Washington, Wilson, Woodson counties.

Architect team for Business Central National Bank introduces mobile deposit Administration building selected
Central National Bank has announced a new feature within their smart phone app. Mobile deposit allows customers to deposit checks to their account simply by taking photos of their checks. To use Mobile Deposit, customers must be signed up for online banking and have the Android, iPhone or iPad app. The app uploads check images securely to the bank for processing and funds appear in the account after processing at the end of the business day. Check data is encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) data encryption. In the event that a mobile device is lost, customers should note that no account data is stored on the device itself, which offers another layer of protection. Were very excited to offer this convenience to our customers, said Scott Rock, Product Development Specialist. We focus on innovation and services that make banking simpler and save our customers time. For more details about the program, or to sign up, visit the bank website at www.centralnational.com/ convenience/mobiledepsit. asp. Central National Bank is a family and employeeowned bank based out of Junction City, Kansas. Founded in 1884, Central National Bank has bank locations in 21 communities across Kansas and Nebraska. Their mission has always been to support and strengthen local communities through employee involvement, corporate citizenship and technological innovation.

Dear Annie: I am a 64-year-old male with decent looks and of average height. Im a few pounds overweight, but I am not sloppy. I was married before, but have not had very much luck when it comes to the fairer sex. What sets me apart are two very obvious facts: One, I am disabled. When a woman looks at me, she focuses on my cane. Two, I live in a senior complex on a limited income from social security. It doesnt matter that I can offer a woman warmth, tenderness, kindness and love. Once more, I have been used and dumped by another woman who promised the moon and then shattered my lonely heart. I have had enough. I am tired. I just wanted you to know that there is one nice guy left out here. Jay Dear Jay: We are certain you arent the only one, and we sympathize. It is hard to be alone when you crave intimacy. We are undoubtedly going to be inundated with letters from equally lonely women who want to meet you. They, too, are looking for companionship, warmth, tenderness, kindness and love. However, even with your disability and your living situation, you apparently have been able to attract women. Why they keep breaking your heart is not explained by those issues. It might be enormously helpful to ask one of them to give you an honest critique of why she left. Listen with an open mind instead of a wounded heart, and you may learn something about yourself. It might help. Dear Annie: I never understood why my mother didnt like me. I did everything possible to get her to love me, but it never happened. She even helped my exhusband kidnap my son. I forgave each hurt but learned not to trust her. Finally, at the age of 56, I looked up her personality traits on the Internet, and there she was: a narcissistic parent. I recently was diagnosed with terminal cancer. When I explained the bone pain, my mother suddenly complained of similar pain and insisted on numerous tests that showed nothing. She could not tolerate the attention I was receiving. She even told me she had to put down her dog a month earlier than necessary because, of course, she

needed to be with me. This is the kind of love I get from her. When I was a child, she convinced everyone that I was evil. Now my mother has started forgetting her lies, and people have figured her out. Several family members have apologized to me for not seeing through her. I dont blame them. She is very good at what she does. But I am finally free of her. I also know I am a good person. I only wish I had had this information years ago. I hope this helps some other adult child learn how to deal with a nasty, vindictive parent Not an Evil Child Anymore Dear Not: We are so sorry that youve had such a stressful relationship with your difficult mother, and that at a time in your life when you could use the comfort of a loving parent, you cannot turn to her. Please know our thoughts are with you. Dear Annie: This is in response to Begging for Mummy and Daddy. I am a heroin addict who has been clean for 20 years. Going to Narcotics Anonymous meetings is the best thing he can do. I went to six meetings a week and met the nicest and most caring people. These people will help you get clean if you want it. Please dont give up because your parents dont understand. When you do get clean, look better and start to work, your parents will realize the mistake they made. Living clean has been nothing but a blessing. I have a great wife and two beautiful children, so anything is possible. Twenty Years Clean

Horoscope
ARIES (March 21April 19). Regarding social interaction, you can just relax. You dont have to create interest or intrigue, because someone is already naturally interested in you and intrigued about what youll do next. TAURUS (April 20May 20). With your personality being amplified now, youll be in no mood to deal with the obvious questions. There is an opportunity in this. You can have fun by answering them in not so obvious ways. GEMINI (May 21June 21). Because youre game to join people in their adventures, youll experience something you wouldnt have thought of on your own. Bonus: Your mind will be freed by laughter, and your heart will be healed with hugs. CANCER (June 22July 22). It wont matter whether you win or lose today. What will matter is how much you want to win. Theres a magical power that will be released in your wanting something dearly. LEO (July 23Aug. 22). First encounters will deliver a strong message. If someone is not there for what you need the first time around, chances are you wont be needing that person again. VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22). Youll be involved in a highly creative process. Only you can decide which flaws are really mistakes and which are the imperfections that make real art. LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 23). Theres no such thing as a general change that doesnt affect you personally. Thats why youll stay aware of all thats going on. Your bigpicture thinking will be an asset to your team. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). You have no desire for social rank, and thats precisely what fuels the esteem others have for you. Your lack of a personal agenda makes you comfortable to be around. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Why wait until things arent going your way to ask for spiritual guidance? The work you do to increase your intuitive abilities and spiritual awareness will make a good time even better. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Even though youre very casual and understated, theres something in your energy that invites people to share their passions with you and talk about what they find meaningful. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). It seems the universe is intent on posing interesting questions for you to answer. But even when the questions are dull, your witty answers will delight your audience. PISCES (Feb. 19March 20). Just because people laugh doesnt mean its funny. Youll be the moral compass of a group. Youre not swayed by what everyone else is doing you make your own decisions.

Geary Community Hospital asks who packs your parachute?

Cyndy Platt
Geary Community hospital Public Relations Plumb realized that the anonymous sailors who packed the parachutes held the pilots lives in their hands, and yet the pilots never gave these sailors a second thought, never even said hello, let alone say thanks. Now, Plumb asks his audiences, Who packs your parachutes? Who helps and supports you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually? Its important to think about who helps you and recognize them and say thanks, he said. Geary Community Hospital will thank its parachute packers who have reached service milestones in five-year increments at the 14th annual GCH Recognition Banquet on Oct. 29, at the Geary County Convention Center. In all, these 40 employees have 440 years of service at GCH. Topping the list of honorees this year is Tami Love, Rago Radiology, with 30 years.

Those with 10 years include Karl DeArmond, Information Systems; Leslie Fetters, Obstetrics; Christina Gantenbein, Kourtni Rapp and Christina Reed, Health Information Management; Lydia Harrel, Environmental Services; Lanenisa McGowan, Med/Surg Unit; Brad Meier, Practice Management; Lori Miller, Patient Financial Services; Tammy Moser, Rago Cardiopulmonary; Darren Rumford, Administration; Kathy Schwartz, Nursing Administration; Shari Steadham, Patient Access; Latesha Tooley, Nutrition Services; and Helenn Walsh, Hospice.

harles Plumb was a Navy jet pilot. On his 76th combat mission, he was shot down and parachuted into enemy territory. He was captured and spent six years in prison. He survived and went on to lecture about his experiences. One day, a man approached Plumb at a restaurant and asked, Are you Plumb the Navy pilot? Yes, how did you know? answered Plumb. I packed your parachute, the man replied. Plumb was taken back, but grateful. If the chute you packed hadnt worked, I wouldnt be here today.

creating a positive atmosphere. What makes this Womens Breast Cancer Health Expo & Luncheon unique from other Breast Cancer Health Events is that it is held during the month of October which is the month for National Campaign for Breast Cancer Awareness. It is joining with many leading organizations in the community and surrounding areas to kick it off. We all know that women can spend time year round caring for their families, their spouses, and even their friends. We are focusing on women to remind them not to neglect their own health and encourage them to start on the path to healthier living. Each participating organization in the Womens Breast Cancer Health Expo & Luncheon will host a health booth with information, stories and resources about a range of conditions and issues that affect women. In addition, there will be feature articles on health issues, tools to help track nutrition, physical activity, medications and mood, and a robust of information to discuss how to tackle some of the most pressing health challenges women face. To provide further assistance, the workshops will feature expert-led groups to help women meet breast health and wellness goals, such as prevention, losing weight, survivorship, quitting smoking and drinking, decreasing stress and improving their relationships. Participants and exhibitors will complete an evaluation at the end of the program. Oct. 4 is the deadline for registration. The registration forms are located at: Central National Banks, Bram-

Feds approve Arkansas private-option Medicaid plan

Associated Press
LITTLE ROCK Arkansas became the first state on Friday to win federal approval to use Medicaid funding to purchase private insurance for thousands of low-income residents under the federal health care law, clearing the way for a model that several other states are eyeing. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services approved the states request to implement the private option plan as an alternative to expanding Medicaids enrollment.

FROM PAGE ONE/NEWS Dont miss out on the Blues at Jammin today

Resort
Continued from Page 1A
The Geary County Convention and Visitors Bureau has come out in support of an Acorns expansion. The plans also have been supported by the Junction City-Geary County Economic Development Commission, which in July presented a letter to the Geary County Commission politely but strongly recommending Acorns be granted a 10-year property tax abatement. However, the County Commission has been hesitant to do anything but verbally support an Acorns expansion. On March 11, Harris approached the County Commission with four requests, including a 10-year, 95 percent property tax abatement similar to Junction Citys NRP rebate offered to businesses. The request also included a letter of support for a grant to establish a sewer system, a request to the Kansas Department of Transportation for additional highway signage and support for a change in (state) legislation regarding resorts in state parks to include resorts in Federal lands. Harris has said hes not asking for any county tax dollars to be spent on his business. The tax rebate would be key to the expansion becoming a reality, Harris has said. At a meeting in July, county commissioners told Harris they need more information and details on the legal aspects of his request.

concept of stepping behind the pulpit and leading a congregation. Some scriptures in the Bible say Woolsey should not be there. But Woolsey said it was written in a different time period. If you interpret them literally, it does say women should not have leadership roles in the church, Woolsey said. She said the challenge with that interpretation is taking every word in the Bible literally as well. Theres some pretty scary stuff buried in the Old Testament, Woolsey said. You have the sacrificing of the animals and all that kind of stuff. But Woolsey is leaving all doubts behind and is ready to lead the church into the future. One of her goals is to expand outreach and make Zion have more of an impact in the community through focus groups and strategic planning. While discussing her new role Wednesday morning, Woolsey talked about a Jesus action figure sitting on the shelf of her office, a gift she received after leaving the seminary. Church is supposed to be fun, she said. Its not a guilt trip, its not about shame, its about enjoying who we are as Gods people.

A special offering for the ongoing support of the building fund will be held and a reception will follow in the Fellowship Hall.

Celebrating 10 years at the church

Discussion followed about remaining on Ninth Street, near the Freshman Success Academy. It was a good place to be because we were in the center of town, Vogelsang said. With the new location, they struggled and questioned if it would be more difficult to help people in need. When that church went, we were devastated, Vogelsang said. There was a fraction of people who wanted to remain in the location, but there were others who said theres not a lot of room ... Finally the majority of people agreed to move because of space. A lot of my history went with the fire, but this is wonderful and a good location, Vogelsang said. Like Vogelsang, Woolsey is looking forward to the celebration. I think its pretty exciting, Woolsey said. The community is welcome to come and its an open event.

expires February 2015, the council must show how its using those dollars. It also needs to come up with a match of about $1.2 million. We are behind meeting the match requirements by HUD and HUDs taking a hard look at that right now, Clark said. So we have some work to do. To address that issue, Clark said the FHRC is planning to seek out those who pledged to help fund the match portion of the grant and request additional assistance. Clark also is hoping he and FHRC staff members can negotiate an extension of the grant, which has reached about 58 percent of its lifespan. However, the council only has spent about 37 percent of its grants funds, so far, according to figures shared by Clark. Fast forward to a year

The Flint Hills Regional Council will be able to fund itself in 2014. In that year, the FHRC has a budget of about $820,000 and revenue of $840,000. However, future budget figures provided by executive director William Clark show a budget shortfall of about $200,000. Clark and FHRC staff are working to find other revenue sources that would erase the deficit.
from now and the HUD grant will have reached 86 percent of its lifespan. The council is projected to have spent about 80 percent of the funds. That tells me we have some capacity if we can extend the life of the grant, Clark said. Clark is hopeful he and staff members can persuade HUD officials to give the FHRC a couple more months to spend the grant funds. Even thats a temporary fix, though. We have 15 months to figure out how to become self-sustaining over time, Clark said. He and staff also are busy working on locating other possible sources of revenue. One funding option would be to seek federal urban transportation funds, for which the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) looks for a recipient. That option requires the FHRC to make changes to its articles of incorporation to allow it to deliver public transit services in the area with the funds. Some of those funds could then be used for FHRC staff salary, which

If the Junction City football teams offensive line could muscle its counterparts from Hayden just a half-yard forward, it would give senior Jermal Campbell enough room to pick up the first down. However, if the Hayden defense could penetrate into the Blue Jays backfield and prevent a gain, it would give its offense one last shot to tie the game.

Campbell took the handoff and ran left into his offensive line, churning his legs desperately trying to gain any last inch. When the officials brought out the chains and finally stretched them as far as theyd go, the football sat out front.

Mariano Rivera may make a debut on his final weekend before retirement: as a centerfielder. The 43-year-old closer, in his 19th and final big league season, has said hed like to play the outfield. Yankees manager Joe Girardi says hes thinking about allowing Rivera to do it this weekend, when the Yankees finish their season with a three-game series at the Houston Astros. Says Girardi: In my mind, thinking that hes going to want to pitch, it would be a situation that I might bring him in (in) the eighth to play the outfield and close him out in the ninth if we have that opportunity. Rivera missed most of the 2012 season after hurting his knee while shagging fly balls during pregame practice at Kansas City.

FORT RILEY Capt. William Billy Simpson learned from an early age to never give up on his dreams. With that always on his mind, his dream to become a soldier and a world-class wrestler is now a reality. Simpson, a field artillery officer with 1st Battalion, 7th Field Artillery Regiment, 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division recently was accepted into the U.S. Armys World Class Athlete Program. He will receive the support and training to compete and succeed in national and international competitions including the Olympic Games, while maintaining a professional military career and promoting the U.S. Army to the world. Simpson worked toward this his whole life. My dad was a wrestling coach, Simpson, a native of Belleview, Tenn., said. He made sure my brothers and I could wrestle by the time we could walk. Every time we would play a game or a sport around the house, it always turned into a wrestling match. As Simpson got older, his love for wrestling grew to the point he begged his father to let him compete. When my brother reached the age where he could wrestle, my father became his coach, he said. I would be there for every match, just screaming and yelling Please see Wrestling

Chiefs linebacker Houston off to sackfilled start

B y DAVE SKRETTA

Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Georgia coach Mark Richt knew that Justin Houston had all the physical tools to be a smashing NFL success. The young linebacker just needed to screw his head on straight. Well, now its bolted on in such a way that his eyes are focused right on the quarterback. The never-stop motor of the Kansas City defense, Houston has already piled up 7 1/2 sacks through the first three weeks. That freakish pace puts him on track to have 40 by the end of the season. Nobody expects him to keep up that rate, of course, but the notion that Houston could at least approach the NFL record of 22 1/2 set by the Giants Michael Strahan in 2001 is a possibilJ ustin ity. H ouston Justin had the body type; he had the work ethic. Im not surprised at all to see him do well, Richt said this week. The guy had 4 1/2 sacks in a game, so what are you going to say? Houston piled up that total last Thursday night in Philadelphia. Hes had four games of three-plus sacks already in his career and a total of 23 in 35 games. I think it takes a team effort, said Houston, who made his first Pro Bowl last season. When youve got guys covering the whole time, and the big guys inside pushing the pocket, and Tamba Hali rushing from the other side, its very easy to make plays. It helps that Houston has been feasting Please see Houston, 4B

Matt Cassel will start at quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings in place of injured Christian Ponder against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Wembley Stadium on Sunday. The Vikings said Friday that Cassel will replace Ponder, who sustained a fractured rib in last weekends 31-27 loss to the Cleveland Browns. We just felt like it was, from a medical standpoint, too risky to put him out there to take a hit, coach Leslie Frazier said Friday at the teams practice facility. Hes a tough guy but it probably wouldnt be wise to put him out in that situation. Cassel hasnt played a down since last season at Kansas City, where he threw for six touchdowns and 12 interceptions in nine games for the 2-14 Chiefs. Ive been preparing for this and I feel like Im ready to go, Cassel said Friday. I feel comfortable with this offense. Im excited about it. Thats what you prepare for as a backup. Frazier said the Vikings made the decision with a bye week coming up to give Ponder more time to recuperate. He didnt foresee any quarterback controversy.

McGrath helping Chiefs survive banged-up TEs

B y DAVE SKRETTA

Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Hes not a member of ZZ Top. Nor is he a reincarnated Karl Marx. Sean McGrath could probably play Santa Claus, though, provided he took a few minutes to bleach his brown facial hair stark white. Then again, perhaps the result would be more along the lines of a young Charles Darwin than the jolly fat man wearing red. The fellows from Duck Dynasty have a rival in the facial hair department from the Kansas City Chiefs backup tight end, who is becoming known for his gnarly whiskers and a hero to fans for the way hes filled in for banged-up starters Anthony Fasano and Travis Kelce.

I mean, girls that wear short-shorts want to flaunt their legs, right? McGrath told The Associated Press. I have this beautiful beard here. Why not grow it out. Indeed, why keep such splendor hidden? After all, this is no five oclock shadow sticking out of his chinstrap. This is a 10 oclock toupee glued to his face. The hair along the upper lip is long enough that its starting to turn up at the corners, a la longtime big league pitcher Rollie Fingers. The mass of bristles hanging off S ean his jaw seem dense enough M c G rath that a sparrow could flutter out of there at any moment. Its like a pillow on my chin. I groom it. I shampoo, conditioner. I take care of it. I mean, I cant grow it on my head, McGrath said, running his big right hand over the closely mown dome, so I might as well grow it on my face. McGrath started to grow the beard around St. Patricks Day incidentally, the patron saint of Ireland is often depicted with a bushy beard of his own. At the time, McGrath was still a member of the Seahawks, and was coming off a rookie season in which he saw action in just two games. He remained with them throughout the summer but was cut this fall, shortly before the start of the season. The Chiefs snatched him up to provide some depth when Tony Moeaki went down with a fractured shoulder, and hes only proven to be more invaluable as Fasano tries to return from ankle and knee injuries and Kelce deals with a micro fracture in his knee.

Powerhouse conference turns out to be AFC

B y BARRY WILNER

Associated Press
With the 49ers, Falcons, Seahawks, Packers, resurgent Saints and promising Redskins, the NFC looked to have it all over the AFC. Three weeks into the season, its the AFC that has been dominant. AFC clubs have won 11 of 14 meetings with the NFC. Most con-

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill holds up his helmet to fans as he runs off the field after the Dolphins defeated the Atlanta Falcons 27-23 on Sept. 22 in Miami Gardens, Fla.

Wilfredo Lee The Associated Press

founding have been the early flops by five of the six NFC playoff teams from 2012; only Seattle has a winning record. Meanwhile, all six AFC playoff qualifiers from last year are winners, while the Dolphins and Chiefs have been revelations. The Colts seem even stronger than they were in their turnaround 2012 season, and even the Jets and Titans look good. Sure, its early and the Saints and Bears certainly look promising but theres no question the NFC is struggling with abysmal 0-3 starts by the Redskins, Vikings and Giants and disappointing showings by the Packers and Falcons, both 1-2. I think a lot of it is personnel, says 2002 league MVP Rich Gannon, now an analyst for CBS Sports and SiriusXM. Indianapolis went out and got new starters on defense after they got bullied in the running game last year, and added an intimidator at safety in LaRon Landry. So much of the talk is about Andrew Luck and getting Trent Richardson, but take a look at what they did to the 49ers in San Francisco. They are getting better. Look at Miami, and I think it goes back to last year. Joe Philbin has done an outstanding job with that program. The defense has gotten better on the back end. The quarterback (Ryan Tannehill) has really benefited from the coaching and matured.

Of the 14 interconference meetings, two NFC victories were by the unbeaten Bears, 24-21 over Cincinnati, 40-23 over reeling Pittsburgh. The other was Seattles 45-17 rout of Jacksonville, the consensus worst team in the league in the AP Pro32 rankings. Far more impressive: Indys 27-7 victory at Candlestick Park; the Bengals 34-30 decision against Green Bay; the Dolphins beating Atlanta 27-23. Kansas City, which has interconference wins over the Cowboys and Eagles huge because Andy Reid returned to win in Philly might be the biggest surprise. Shouldnt be, but maybe the Chiefs epitomize whats going on through three weeks. The better AFC teams are protecting the ball and getting takeaways. They are rushing the passer successfully. And, in many cases Chiefs over Cowboys, Bears over Bengals, Browns over Vikings they are outcoaching the opposition. I believed that would be a quick fix in Kansas City, Gannon says. I did some Chiefs games last year, knew there was talent there. Youre looking at a team that turned it over 37 times last year. But Alex Smith might be the best quarterback at ball security. Look at his won-loss percentage recently. You can label him any way you want. Hes a good leader, makes great decisions and takes care of the football.

Indianapolis Colts running back Ahmad Bradshaw runs against the San Francisco 49ers in San Francisco on Sept. 22.
Combine that with a defense that can harass the quarterback and they now have some stability where they had not had it, at the two crucial positions of head coach and quarterback, that has made a world of difference. Everything could change in the AFC-NFC series as early as, well, this week. There are seven interconference matchups and NFC teams are favored in four of them. Then again, the Giants cant protect Eli Manning or run the ball, and the Chiefs defense leads the league in sacks and physicality. New England should never be counted out against anyone, and is 13-2 in its past 15 road games against the NFC. Other than the Saints, not one of the NFC teams playing this week is close to peak efficiency. The Giants, Vikings and Redskins are a combined 0-9, the Eagles cant stop anybody on defense, and the Cowboys are inconsistent. Sometimes you fall into the trap as players and coaches, thinking, We are better than this, we will get this thing turned around, Gannon said. Maybe you are not all that talented. Those teams all have major concerns and issues.

for him. Afterwards I would ask my dad how much longer I had until I could wrestle. Finally the day came when Simpson took part in his first competition. I was in the sixth grade when I had my first match, he said. I went into the match more experienced and so I had much success. The thrill, excitement and full body exhaustion from my first match set the stage for me, from that point on, I knew I wanted to do this as long as I could. Simpson continued to wrestle through junior high and high school with the goal of one day becoming an elite freestyle wrestler, but he had an even bigger dream in mind, becoming a soldier. When my big brother said he was joining the military, I was excited, he said. On top of that, he received a wrestling scholarship from West Point. After witnessing this, I knew what my plans were going to be. Simpson was accepted into the United States Military Academy Preparatory School at West Point in 2004 on a wrestling scholarship. After finishing West Point Prep in 2005 he went on to graduate from West Point in 2009. Simpson competed in more than 80 matches during his time at the military academy, but one match sticks out to him. My most unforgettable fight was during my sophomore year at West Point, he said.

SPORTS
I entered into the New York State Tournament as an unranked competitor but I made it to the finals where I was to wrestle the No. 10 ranked wrestler in the country. Simpson described the final minutes of the match, in which he was considered a major underdog. I knew I was going to have to give it my all, plus more, to beat this guy, he said. At about 30 seconds left in the match, I realized we were tied but I was on top of him. I decided to risk the competition by letting him up in the hopes of bringing him back down before the clock ran out. The match went down to the wire. We were going back and forth until we went out of bounds with eight seconds left on the clock, Simpson said. When we came back in the circle, I took him down at the last second and won the match. Simpson was named the outstanding wrestler of that tournament, but the wider world awaited. Upon graduating from West Point as a field artillery officer in 2009, Simpson received orders for the 1st Bn., 7th F.A. Regt., 2nd ABCT, 1st Inf. Div. He deployed November 2010 for a year long mission to Baghdad, Iraq in support of Operation New Dawn. A year after returning from deployment, Simpson decided he was ready to start wrestling again. I was a little bit hesitant at first but I spoke with my battery commander in October 2012 about competing again, Simpson said. I expressed to him how I have been dreaming for an opportunity like this. Before I could blink he turned to me and asked me if I felt I had a chance at winning After competing and winning the All Army title, Simpson went back to his chain of command with one last request. Capt. Simpson came to me and mentioned that he wanted to take his wrestling career to the next level, Rhodes said. He told me he wanted to pursue the WCAP program and so we filled out a list of pros and cons to fully evaluate the opportunity. The solution did not immediately present itself. When we compiled the list and it came out 50/50 split, the only two questions I had left for Simpson to answer were quite simple: Would you regret passing on this opportunity when you get older and would you tell your grandkids? The answer to both? Yes. Immediately after receiving notification of his acceptance into the program, Simpson received permanent orders to the WCAP unit at Fort Carson, Colo., until 2016. Through Army funding, he will receive the best possible coaching, access to training venues, and state-of-the-art sports medicine. He will also participate in top national and international competitions including the Olympic Games and national governing body amateur championships. Simpson said the opportunity would not have been possible without the support of his chain of command. For their support, he will continue to represent First Lightning by wearing the battalion T-shirts as much as he can. There is no greater opportunity than to be able to do what I love, Simpson said. The Army has given me the opportunity to remain a soldier all while training to be a professional wrestler and hopefully represent them in the Olympics. There have been some good beards in recent sports history. The lumberjack look of the Steelers Brett Keisel stands out, as does the Rockets James Harden. The mass of ink-blank hair Dodgers reliever Brian Wilson sports has been impressing baseball aficionados for years. You wont see me growing anything out like that any time soon, said Kelce, who has some scruff of his own. Theres not going to be any competition with me. McGrath and his ilk seem to be onto something, though. Researchers in Australia published a study in the journal Evolution & Human Behavior earlier this year that found that women prefer men with heavy stubble over clean-shaven guys. Furthermore, it found that full beards are more popular than the cleanshaven look among straight guys. Then theres the success of shows such as Duck Dynasty on A&E, with a cast that has some epic frontal locks, and Whisker Wars on IFC, which delves into the world of competitive bearding. Its definitely trending right now, McGrath said with a goodnatured laugh, rows of white teeth peeking out from his brownish bush. I might be on the roller-coaster, but as long as it is on the way up. When it starts coming back down, I might have to jump off.

Capt. William Simpson, a field artillery officer with 1st Bn., 7th F.A. Regt., 2nd ABCT, 1st Inf. Div., competed in his first Armed Forces Freestyle Wrestling Tournament, March 16-17, at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J..
it and I quickly replied, Yes, I do. With the support of his battery commander, Capt. Ritchie Rhodes Jr., and his battalion commander, Lt. Col. John Mountford, Simpson applied and was accepted to the 2013 All Army Freestyle Wrestling Team. He eventually walked away as the 2013 All Army Freestyle Wrestling Champion.

METAIRIE, La. Just across the Mississippi River from the world-famous French Quarter is neighborhood called Algiers, where Dolphins receiver Mike Wallace and Saints cornerback Keenan Lewis became playmates around age 5. Their friendship went beyond sports. Wallace didnt even play football until Lewis persuaded him to go out for their high school team at O. Perry Walker. A decade later, theyll go head-to-head for the first time in the most fitting place of all the Superdome this Monday night. It has been a strange week of unfamiliar tension between the longtime friends, whove long known each other as teammates, but never opponents. Thats my brother. Thats someone Ive been knowing since the age of 5, so we did everything together, Lewis said. Its feeling kind of weird having to go up against him. They never played against each other in college. Wallace was at Mississippi and Lewis at Oregon State. When they turned pro, both wound up on the same NFL team the Pittsburgh Steelers growing even closer as young adults. They were house mates and usually sat next to each other on the team plane to road games. They still talk by phone nearly every day. Last weekend, Wallace delighted in Lewis first interception with New Orleans, but couldnt stop himself from delivering a little ribbing when they next spoke. As soon as he called me after the game, he said he caught an interception, Wallace recalled. I told him that he dropped two.

Lewis expected nothing less. You know youre always hard on each other because we want each other to be the best, Lewis said. I knew he was going to have a comeback, but I watched film on him this week, so I tell him he missed some of those balls last week as well. Lewis said the trash-talking would continue in the Superdome, where the two players could be matched up one-on-one on numerous plays. Lewis generally plays on the same side of the field where Wallace lines up. Weve been looking forward to this, Lewis said. This is a guy who talked the whole summer, trash-talking how he was going to do this and how he was going to do that. So Im pretty sure hes heated up right now and Im heated up. The story line only gets richer when considering that both teams are 3-0 and the game is on national television. Whether Wallace wins out or not, hell always be grateful that Lewis encouraged him to come out for football in the first place. Ever since we were younger we always knew I could play, Wallace said. I just never wanted to play. Added Lewis: I basically forced him to come out there. I saw the talent that he had and we needed it, so he joined us and hes been successful ever since. Lewis might want to consider a career in scouting when hes done playing. As a high school senior, Wallace had 60 catches for 1,039 yards and 19 touchdowns, according to Louisiana high school football analyst and historian Ken Trahan, who also hosts a high school football radio show on fall Friday nights. Wallace also returned four punts and four kickoffs for touchdowns. Lewis said that he and Wallace, both being free agents last offseason, had offers from some of the same teams, but understood they had to take the offers that suited them most as individual professionals.

Colquitts are NFLs first family of punting

B y ARNIE STAPLETON

Associated Press
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Craig Colquitt, who won two Super Bowls with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 1970s, feels like he handed down a family business to his sons Dustin and Britton. The brothers each signed offseason deals with the Chiefs and Broncos, respectively, that made them the highest-paid punters in the NFL at nearly $4 million a year about 45 times as much as their father ever earned in the pros. The Colquitts are to punting what the Mannings are to passing, and this first family of punters had an inauspicious start a safety on the patriarchs very

Good thing, because Dad was surreptitiously preparing him all along. The way we grew up he was always putting us in crazy situations where we had to kick a ball over a tree, so wed already been in those situations, Dustin said.

on rookie offensive tackles this season. He abused No. 2 overall pick Luke Joeckel in the season opener at Jacksonville, piling up his first three sacks. In Philadelphia, it was No. 4 pick Lane Johnson who was doing his best bullfighter imitation as Houston breezed by on the outside. Houston could get another rookie tackle Sunday, too. Justin Pugh, the 19th overall pick, will start on the right side for the Giants if David Diehl still isnt back from thumb surgery. Pugh was part of a group that allowed Eli Manning to get sacked seven times last Sunday. Hes got a good motor, so its a good challenge for me, Pugh said of Houston. Its hard to mimic what Houston can do, though, because there are very few players like him. He stands an imposing 6-foot-3, 258 pounds yet has speed that could rival many running backs in the NFL. His upper body strength allows him to shed would-be blockers like hes shrugging off a sack of potatoes, while his tree trunk legs provide him leverage on bull rushes. Then there are his hands, which stood out to

Richt most of all. He had hands about that big, Richt said, holding up his own and outlining a much bigger hand around it. For whatever reason, they measure the hand size. They probably went crazy when they measured his hands: Draft that guy. Hes got big hands. All the better to wrestle down opposing quarterbacks. Houston was considered a first-round talent coming out of Georgia, but he slid to the third round when questions arose about his maturity. Houston reportedly tested positive for marijuana at the NFLs scouting combine, and that gave plenty of teams across the league pause. Former Chiefs GM Scott Pioli took the risk on Houston, gambling that he would quickly grow up, and so far its paid off. Houston has been a model teammate since he arrived. He gets on the field and gets mad and makes plays, Hali said. He wants to be recognized as one of the top rushers to ever play here, or play in the league. Hes certainly off to quite the start.

Kansas State ready to defend title, begin mens hoops practices

MANHATTAN An earlier start to practice sounded just fine to Kansas State coach Bruce Weber. The Wildcats, who won a share of the Big 12 title last season, have to replace their top two scorers in graduated senior Rodney McGruder and point guard Angel Rodriguez, B ruce who transferred to W eber Miami. So its safe to say that Weber will take every minute he can get. I dont think there could be for us a better timing of it with the early practices he said Thursday, on the eve of practices starting. I looked at it and I figured out we have seven extra days of practice than we did a year ago. With half your team being new people, we can use all the days we can get. In the past, practice began roughly four weeks before the season. Now, mens basketball teams get to conduct 30 days of practice in the six weeks prior to their first regular-season game. Weber hopes hes able to ease the duration of the practice schedule prior to the season in order to keep his players fresh. My goal is to go a couple days then a day off, three days and then a day off, Weber said. Youve got to give them 12 days off before the start of the season. If we have a stretch where we get some injuries or something, Ill give them two days off. The Wildcats play their first exhibition game Nov. 1 against Pittsburg State. They begin the regular season the following week against Northern Colorado. Extra weight will fall on the shoulders of Thomas Gipson, Will Spradling and Shane Southwell as the top three returning scorers this season. Its a message that Weber and staff have communicated thoroughly. Since last spring, thats all weve talked to them about, Weber said. Their experience is going to be so valuable. Durability and conditioning has been a long-standing question for Gipson. Now looking at a signifi-

Howard healthy, talking titles in Houston

B y KRISTIE RIEKEN

HOUSTON New Rocket Dwight Howard is healthy and talking about bringing a championship to Houston. We have an opportunity to do something special if we stay together and stay focused, Howard said Friday on the eve of Houstons training camp. He was slowed last year after offseason back surgery, which played a part in a disappointing and difficult season with the Lakers. The centers signing propelled the James Harden-led Rockets from a young and talented group to immediate contenders. For me, being healthy, I think its going to bring back a lot of the things that Ive done in the past, Howard said. Im very excited about it. The Rockets gave him a four-year deal worth about $88 million, a year less and far below the $118 million the Lakers could have offered. But Howard was ready for a fresh start after a tumultuous time in Los Angeles, which included an admission that there were times that he wasnt having fun and what many believed to be a strained relationship with Kobe Bryant. He wasnt interested in talking too much about last season, but acknowledged the difficulties of the year. It happened, he said. Its over with. It didnt work out on both sides, so we have to move on. Then he raved about the relationships hes already built with his new teammates and his excitement about playing on such a young, energetic team. Im in a better place mentally, spiritually and physically, Howard said. Howard, point guard Jeremy Lin and Harden were among several players who spent time in Aspen, Colo. in the offseason working with Hous-

ton great Hakeem Olajuwon. Howard and Lin separately relayed a story about a time during the workouts where Lin lobbed a bad and high pass intended for Howard. Lin immediately began to apologize for the errant throw, but there was no need. Howard jumped up to grab it and dunked it with ease. I was like: Oh, wow. OK, thats good for me, Lin said of that moment. He makes my job easier. Howard chuckled as he recalled the play. He was in shock that I actually caught it because he hasnt seen that and its been a while since I was able to do that kind of stuff, Howard said. So I think my health is coming back. Im getting some of the bounce back in my legs. It takes a while to recover from back surgery. The Rockets reached the playoffs for the first time since 2009 last season and battled back from a 3-0 deficit before being eliminated by the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 6.

cant role on the younger squad, the junior big man lost 35 pounds over the offseason. Im lighter on my feet, Gipson said. I jump quicker, Im jumping higher and Im not as winded as I used to be running up and down the court. I just feel lighter and a lot better about myself. Its just boosting my confidence. As practice begins, being able to put together a rotation in the frontcourt will be a priority for Weber and his staff. Gipson and 6-foot-9 forward D.J. Johnson played most of the minutes in the paint last season, but 6-5 junior Nino Williams will also have to help out. Kansas State would love to have the services of 6-foot-11 Brandon Bolden, a transfer from Georgetown. But hell sit alongside Maine transfer Justin Edwards, last years leading scorer in the America East, as they fulfill their NCAA transfer requirements. In the backcourt, the Wildcats will rely heavily upon Spradling, but they welcome a pair of freshmen in Nigel Johnson and Marcus Foster. Jevon Thomas will factor into the mix, but hes not eligible to hit the court until the end of the first semester. Marcus Foster is good, Weber said. Hes strong, hes solid and he works very hard very consistent. We were very fortunate to get him. Weber said a newfound sense of athleticism is credit to his freshman class. Height will be the downside since most of those players work on the perimeter. Were way more athletic and those guys are athletic, Weber said. Were a lot quicker than we were last year. We definitely replaced that. We didnt replace JOs (Jordan T homas G ipson Henriquez) height and length and thats one that were a little bit leery about. Theres no doubt. With a new year comes a new identity, and Southwell believes the Wildcats will be ready. Its a new year and I dont know who wouldnt be excited, Southwell said. Hopefully, we can get another banner because weve got a big chance to prove ourselves. A lot of people are kind of doubting us, so its another big year for us.

Blue Jays
Continued from Page 1B
Its a really big win because this team is really good, Junction City coach Randall Zimmerman said on the postgame radio show. This is a good, physical, strong team that plays very hard and its a big win for us. And the way we won, there was nothing pretty about it. Junction City fell into an early 13-0 deficit before finally finding its rhythm on both sides of the ball. Lueker had a first quarter scramble of 19 yards to put the Jays in the redzone before Campbell finished the drive with a 3-yard touchdown plunge. Then, the defense solidified itself and promptly fended off Hayden, giving the ball back to the offense. Micah is really playing hard (on the defensive line) and hes just doing a great job there, Zimmerman said. And then Trevor Dailey, when you watch (him) hes kind of an undersized, not strength kid, but hes undersized and knows every spot up front. Tonight he had to go out and play our quick because of a situation where our starter wasnt able to start and he played it really well. Lueker led a two minute drive before capping it off with a 20-yard touchdown pass to senior Semaj Johnson. Campbell didnt let the delay slow him down, busting off a 49-yard touchdown run at the outset of the second half as the Jays scored 21 unanswered points. He finished the game with 13 rushes for 87 yards and two touchdowns. Lueker ended the day completing seven of 12 passing attempts for 95 yards, a touchdown and an interception.

But Hayden wouldnt go quietly into the night. The Wildcats responded with a touchdown of their own and converted the 2-point try to level the score at 21-21. Meanwhile, Junction City senior running back Dequan Davis struggled to get himself going on offense for much of the night. But with the score tied in the fourth, he dropped back to field a punt after the defense came through with a big stop with three minutes left. He fielded the punt on a bounce and took off, following his blocks and weaving in and out of defenders before breaking free and outrunning every Hayden player for an 83-yard return for a touchdown. We thought it was there all night, Zimmerman said. We thought we could block a few of them and we forced them to pull it down a couple of times and couldnt make the tackle and we had a couple of guys who did their own thing. But on that last one he punted it to the wide side of the field where we had our return set so that helped. Kids made good blocks and Dequan (Davis) stayed on his feet and got into the endzone. The win lifts the Blue Jays record to 2-2 on the season. Junction City returns home next week for its homecoming game against Highland Park. Zimmerman said his team needs to learn from its first four games. Weve been about as poor as you can be in certain situations and some of that was tonight and then we can be very good, Zimmerman said. If we can go be all-in for the team, be very unselfish and not make excuses, roll our sleeves up every day and go to work and prepare the best we can prepare, then there can be some special things for this group.

Curry brothers carry rivalry into Warriors camp

B y ANTONIO GONZALEZ

Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. Seth Curry was walking around the Golden State Warriors practice court during media day festivities Friday when a stranger struck up a conversation. A few minutes later, the rookie realized he had been mistaken for somebody else older brother Stephen Curry. He quickly corrected their mistake. Sometimes I let them keep going, he joked. Seth has spent most of his life being compared to Ste-

phen. He wouldnt mind looking like his brother on the court starting Saturday, when the Warriors open training camp with both on the roster. The sons of former NBA player Dell Curry competed at everything from basketball to video games growing up. Born two years apart, their careers are far removed from each other now. Stephen, 25, elevated his game to star status by leading the Warriors to the second round of the playoffs last season. Seth, 23, went undrafted out of Duke after undergoing surgery on his right knee/shin and is competing for a spot

backing up his brother at point guard, which might be the most intriguing competition in camp if he can be anywhere near the level he played at in college. Even if its for only a few weeks, playing on the same NBA team is a unique opportunity for both. They havent played together since Seths sophomore year at Charlotte Christian School. Stephen moved on to Davidson the following year and turned heads in the NCAA tournament. Seth played one season at Liberty before transferring to Duke, where he dazzled for two years and disappeared at times during his senior season because of injuries, which sidelined him for predraft workouts. While it might seem like a long shot, both believe Seth has a great chance to make the roster. I dont think the Warriors would sign him if they didnt think so either, Stephen said. Maybe they paid more attention to him because hes my brother, but nobodys going to throw money and an opportunity at somebody if they dont think hes got an opportunity to make the team out of camp and help the team down the road.

Poor farms
Jamie Martin

Museum Musings

ong before social reforms and government programs such as welfare there were people that needed assistance. Some of the people who might need this assistance would be the elderly, widows, orphans, and the mentally insane. Individual counties often shouldered the responsibility of these individuals. An individual in need of help often went to their church first. If the church could not provide enough assistance then the person could ask for help from the Overseer of the Poor. This was an elected position that worked within a budget to help with basic needs. They might provide food, fuel, clothing, or medical assistance. This was short term assistance. A longer form of assistance was that the care of the pauper would be auctioned off. It seems strange but the pauper was sold to the lowest bidder (that person agreed to provide room and board for the lowest price) for a specific period of time. That person received a payment every month to provide food, clothing, housing, and health care for the pauper. In addition to a monthly payment they also received the paupers labor for free. The welfare of the pauper depended entirely upon the kindness of the bidder. There were few options for justice for the pauper if they were mistreated. A third option for the county was to establish a house for the poor. These went by many different names depending on what part of the country you were in. In New England you might hear them referred at as almshouses, in Maryland they are called county homes in Indiana they are called county asylums. Throughout the Midwest they are often referred to as

The Poor Farm was an active farm located on 160 acres. The county housed orphans, the elderly and infirmed at the house.
poor farms or county farms. These were popular options for counties because it was believed to be the most efficient and cost effective way to house the needy. An article from the Union newspaper, April 23, 1870, reports that the Davis County is accepting proposals for suitable land on which to build a poor farm. On Dec. 10, 1870 the Union reported that Work is being prosecuted vigorously on the county poor house building. It is located about two and a half west of town and is being built by Payn Bros. Building was going well and when finished would be two stories. At the time of the article there were two rooms in the cellar are already sufficiently comfortable for loafers. The commissioners are looking about for some light as to the management of the farm, for if there should be any paupers on hand in the spring, they propose to make them serviceable. Early newspaper accounts show that there was an urgent need for this facility. Some of the earliest reports show 10 paupers living at the poor farm. If there was room the county would also house paupers from other counties. Reports show a family sent here from Douglas County. Davis County housed them until there was room for them in Douglas County and in the meantime Douglas County paid for their keep. It is interesting to note that every effort was made to find a situation for ablebodied workers so that they could learn skills to better themselves. Also, funds were made available for clothing and books for children at the poor farm so that they could attend school. The majority of the paupers in Davis County were elderly, infirmed, or orphans. The poor farm was an active farm run by a superintendent. In 1874 there are numerous articles about the 21,000 trees planted at the poor farm. A large number of them are fruit trees with many popular and maples planted for protection. The farm harvested the fruit and produced jams and preserves for the winter. At that time the farm was producing peaches, apples, apricots, plums, pears, nectarines, and cherries. In 1876 a report shows that the farm had expanded to include grapes, blackberries, and strawberries. They were also farming wheat, rye, corn, and potatoes. The farm was producing enough bread stuffs, meat, and milk to feed the residents of the house. In 1878 the Union newspaper reports that the cost to the county to fund the poor farm was; $622.05 in 1872, $676.28 in 1873, $906.30 in 1874, $1097.50 in 1875, $931.60 in 1876 and $1178.60 in 1877. Major Wilson received $3.15 per week for each resident in

Submitted photo addition five cents a day for clothing. It was predicted by the newspaper that the farm will be self-sustaining in the course of a few years. Union newspaper reports describe the poor farm in glowing detail as a comfortable and homey place. It is a place to look forward to living in if ones fortunes ever disappear. Next week we will continue with the poor farm as the Junction City Tribune breaks a scandalous story of abuse and corruption at the county poor farm.

Consumers spent $8 billion on Halloween

Gail Parsons
Commentary in a few feet of its sensors. Although I seriously have never been a huge fan of Halloween, I did kind of like making costumes when I was younger for myself, and later for my son. There certainly are many interesting costumes on department or specialty store shelves, but I really think something gets lost by just buying a cheap costume. With thrift store finds (or even a quick scrounge around in the back of the closet) there are tons of creative and fun costumes that one can come up with, and the best part is that its a whole lot more fun to make one than to just buy one. With just a little over a month its time now to start fishing around for some ideas. Browsing through the McCalls and Simplicity patterns, a trip to the DAV thrift store on South Washington St., and of course a few hours Pintrest and other fun Web sites should put me in the mood for Halloween. Inspiration for this or any project can come from the most unlikely sources. I recently joined a painters group with some accomplished regional artists. Intimidated is the word that comes to mind these ladies are really good, and all of their work is in realism. They can take a photograph and pretty much duplicate it with paints. I on the other hand give me a canvas, paints, a brush, and plenty of water and let me simply have at it. I have no clue what a piece will look like until it is done. I thought long and hard about what project I would want to start with at these group meetings and thought that a nice piece taken from a photograph of a recent trip to the Blue Ridge Parkway would be nice. I thought about it, I planned it, I syked myself up for the stepping out of my comfort zone and was ready to go then Skyped with my grandbaby. She asked what I was going to do that day and I told her I was going to paint. Her next words would change my carefully laid out plans. She directed me to paint something for her a purple painting. Whether it is beautiful mountains that reach the sky or words from a little one inspiration is out there its just a matter of putting doubt aside and paint to the canvas.

ast year the National Retail Federation estimated that Americans would shell out around $8 billion on Halloween-related purchases, with the average consumer spending about $80. I guess the days of homemade ghosts hanging from trees, and dummies made with old jeans and flannel shirts stuffed with old newspaper and grass, have given way to electronic animations that will screech and scream as the unsuspecting visitors steps with-

Howard makes a believable Big Bang Theory racing film with Rush actress Cuoco is engaged
B y Jenna F ryer

AP Auto Racing Writer

Ron Howard admits he was no racing aficionado when he set out to make the Formula One thriller Rush, chronicling the tense 1976 world championship battle between playboy James Hunt and calculating Niki Lauda. Racing movies dont have the best track record, after all. The driving has usually been unrealistic and too many directors cheated on details that insiders found offensive. I love sports, too, and I dont know much about Formula One, but I just kept thinking, If somebody made a baseball movie and if they cut to the center fielder and the center fielder was standing there with a catchers glove on, Id feel disrespected, Howard said in a recent phone interview with The Associated Press. I didnt want those kinds of gaffes. When talking to people who really love motorsports, theyd talk about movies that werent documentaries and theyd cite mistakes, the kind of mistakes that would really just take them out of the movie. While you can never be 1,000 percent authentic, it was important that we get it right. Howard was understandably nervous when he screened Rush for the F1 community, with Lauda himself in the audience, during the German Grand Prix weekend in July. It was tense for me, and I think they were gracious but skeptical going into the screening, Howard said. When it was over, I think they were surprised at how much care had been given. People who had lived through it were palpably moved. Howards understating the response he received: Lauda led the room in a standing ovation and the overwhelming reaction so far has been that Howard has made one of the most realistic and true racing movies to date. Everybody says that the racing scenes are really incredibly filmed and done. So you have to ask normal people, not us. Normal people, they really liked the whole thing, Lauda told AP. I can only judge the way the public is judging. The public seems to like it, in America, here, everywhere. Lauda has praised the Peter Morgan script, Howards directing and Daniel Bruhl, who plays Lauda in the film. Although Lauda did not spend many days on set, Howard said the former racer was available in preproduction and gracious with his time. Bruhl had the Austrian on speed dial during filming. When something came up with the language or expressions, or a question in sequence like did Niki put his gloves on first or his

helmet on first, Daniel would just take a moment and go over and be on the phone, and Id know hed be on the phone with Niki, Howard recalled. Its a complicated story featuring two very different heroes. Hunt, the hard-partying, womanizing Englishman who succeeds despite himself, and the cold and socially inept Lauda, who has no time or patience for anything but winning. They race during a dangerous period in Formula One, when technology rapidly outpaced safety advancements, and each driver faces it differently. The closer you are to death, the more alive you feel, Hunt says. The risk of death turns people on. Lauda, more sensible and safety conscious, pays the price in a horrific accident that left him badly burned. He resumed their championship fight 42 days after the near-fatal crash. Watching you win those races while I was fighting for my life, you were equally responsible for getting me back in the car, Lauda tells Hunt in the film. While Chris Hemsworth plays Hunt, who died of a heart attack at 45 in 1993, Lauda believes Bruhl may have had the hardest role in the film because Lauda was able to critique the performance. The most difficult part for him is that Im alive, Im in television, everybody knows how I talk, Lauda said. So he had a real terrible job to do and he did a really good job. Because when I saw him I thought it was me. But it was Howard who actually had the toughest job because he was tasked with making a convincing movie about racing that would not be dismissed by the racing community while also appealing to a wide audience. Why would Howard

even bother? The appeal was Morgans script, which Howard felt offered an original filmmaking opportunity and a fresh story for audiences. The story itself, a dynamic rivalry with a bit of romance set in the unfettered 70s, was the sell. It had great characters and was set in a period that I do know something about a period that was unusually chaotic, reckless, and somewhat dangerous and sort of glamorous, Howard said. And this sport that I didnt know much about, but I knew just enough that I knew it was dangerous. I thought it was just very, very cinematic. Four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon privately screened the movie for his Hendrick Motorsports team over the summer as a bonding experience for his crew. He praised Howard, who Gordon knows personally, for concentrating on the story. Its hard to portray racing on camera, said Gordon. By them building this movie around this great story and these rich characters, I thought was fantastic. My favorite thing was that I expected to be a huge James Hunt fan when I left and not really like Lauda. But when I left, I was a huge Niki Lauda fan, and to me, thats how youve got to do a racing movie. It has to be more about the characters than the racing. Thats the feedback Howard was hoping to hear, not just from the racing community, but from an audience that loves rich stories. Its not an American story, its not about characters who are household names for us, he said. But there is something that is relatable and surprising about the story that it entertains and is worth going to the movie theater to see.

NEW YORK The Big Bang Theory actress Kaley Cuoco is off the market. After a quick courtship, Cuoco is engaged to tennis pro Ryan Sweeting, her rep confirms. The 27-year-old actress and 26-year-old Sweeting began dating about three months ago. The engagement comes a few days after Cuoco took Sweeting as her date to the Emmy Awards. At a preEmmy event, Cuoco called Sweeting the greatest date ever on a photo posted to her official Twitter and Instagram accounts. News of the proposal was first reported by Us Weekly. It will be the first marriage for both.

Ladies reading club of Kansas

Susan Moyer
Librarians report with the vision of providing its members with access to literature and educational programs. Through it, they explored Shakespeare and classical literature and talked about the issues of the day. A year later they also launched a small lending library for their members. Stocked with donations, some of which were likely given by friends and family living back east, these items were used by the ladies to prepare for their meetings lessons and for their own enjoyment. By 1891 their collection had grown to almost seven hundred titles so they opted to broaden the service to include other members of the community which helped them to fulfill another part of their mission, to ensure that the entire citizenry could also appreciate learning and culture. This lending collection and reading room provided the first semblance of library service in Junction City. It also laid the foundation for the George Smith Library that followed in 1908 and the current library which opened in 1983. Providing access to materials was then and continues to be a major role that libraries play. Leveling the playing field to help ensure that resources of all types are available to people regardless of their income level or geographic location is a key component of library service. In todays environment, that also often includes advocating for affordable, high-speed internet service in all areas of the state and country, including those where cows and deer sometimes outnumber the people. The library is also still an education center for lifelong learning, providing classes for all ages. This includes curriculum-based efforts toward early childhood literacy to help prepare preschool children for success in their school careers. This continues well into adulthood where students pursue college degrees from the library carrels through online classes. It also includes informal classes for all ages that provide the know-how to do almost anything. The Learning Is for Everyone community education program provides this in Junction City and the public library offers many classes for it each semester. The library also compiles and produces the LIFE directory that holds all of the class offerings from each of the participating partners. Borrowing and lending also remain at the heart of library service, though

unction City and Geary County boast a number of organizations that hold distinctions as the first or longest running entity of its kind in the state and, in some cases, beyond. One of these is the Ladies Reading Club which is the oldest Kansas affiliate of the General Federation of Womens Clubs as well as the holder of the oldest clubhouse west of the Mississippi that is still in operation. The club also holds the distinction of laying the foundation for public library service in this community. The Ladies Reading Club grew from an aid society that formed in the latter portion of the 1800s when a small group of women met to sew, roll bandages, etc. to assist with the crises of their day. To help pass the time and make their work more enjoyable, one of their circle was often designated to read aloud to the group as they worked. In addition to providing entertainment, this voice also helped to bring literary offerings to women who otherwise had little access to them. Opportunities for education beyond the early grades were few and far between for most people of that era and particularly so for women. This served as motivation for the aid group to start a formal club in 1875

The e-reading trend has also come to include issues of magazines. And, audio books, movies, and music are also regularly downloaded today through a librarysponsored service or subscription. While they may not have envisioned e-books and i-tunes, the women of the Ladies Reading Club did have great foresight in recognizing the need for library service in Junction City and each of us owes them a thank you for their efforts.

Tragedy, Woodrells family converge in new novel

J ane H enderson

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

ST. LOUIS Rumors always swirled around the Ozarks tragedy. Four or five plausible scenarios suggested it was an accident. But at least that many pointed toward more nefarious causes, author Daniel Woodrell says. All the rumors were so rampant, you couldnt even discuss it, he says about the mysterious explosion that killed 39 people in 1928 at a West Plains dance hall. The cause was never determined. Not spreading rumors about neighbors has always been a good rule for living down here: Dont say anything about somebody named whatever because someone related by marriage might be standing nearby. That Ozarks rule was in full effect in Woodrells last novel, Winters Bone, about a poor but heroic teenager who suffers a crippling beatdown after asking questions of some meth-dealing neighbors, the St. Louis

Post-Dispatch reports. And even though his new novel, The Maids Version, largely leaves the scrubby backwoods for a town setting, the rule still applies in Woodrells West Table, a fictional portrait of his home. Hell be in St. Louis on Sept. 30 to talk about the heralded slim new book, which cuts a new path for Woodrell while traveling some of the same creeks, hills and cemeteries. At age 60, Woodrell says hes ready to be a little more generous to some people than I would have been 15 or 20 years ago. Known for characters familiar with shotguns, hand-me-downs and squirrel potpie, Woodrell writes about violence and dark deeds better than almost anyone in America today, in compact, musical prose that doesnt dwell on visceral detail, author Donald Ray Pollack wrote in a 2011 New York Times review of the short story collection The Outlaw Album. But even if The Maids Version is no portrait of Park Avenue, it at least

includes characters who can employ a maid. Mainly I didnt focus on just one group of people, Woodrell says in a phone interview. It basically includes the whole crosssection of economic circumstances. He even has a touch of sympathy for a carousing banker, whose wealth would previously have drawn only scorn: Hes not by instinct a terrible guy. Besides using a historic event for inspiration, Woo-

drells novel draws directly from his family and life. The maid of the title evokes his grandmothers, one of whom worked as a maid and cook. The other had long hair similar to his character Alma DeGeer Dunahew, whom, he writes, couldnt walk when her hair was not woven into dense braids and pinned around and atop her head. Alma was the big red heart of our family, the true heart, the one we keep secret and that sustains us.

One of Woodrells grandfathers ran to see the catastrophic explosion that lit up West Plains night sky. (For the novel, the author changed the year to 1929 and added a few fatalities.) DeGeer and Dunahew are names found in the authors family tree, and Almas boys in the novel share traits with Woodrells father and uncle, who both served in the Navy in World War II. Like one character, his father went to Washington University at night on the G.I. Bill.

Lawsuit filed to block science standards

Associated Press
12th grade. The Kansas State Board of Education adopted them in June to replace evolution-friendly standards that had been in place since 2007. The new standards, like the ones they replaced, reflect the mainstream scientific view that evolution is well-established. Most board members believed the guidelines will improve science education by shifting the emphasis in science classes to doing hands-on projects and experiments. The group, a nonprofit organization based in the small community of Peck, south of Wichita, was joined in its lawsuit by parents of public school students across the state. Theyre suing the board, its 10 members, Education Commissioner Diane DeBacker and the state Department of Education. The case is the latest chapter in a long-running debate in Kansas over what to teach students about 19th century naturalist Charles Darwins theories on evolution and scientific developments since. Kansas has had six different sets of science standards in the past 15 years, as conservative Republicans skeptical of evolution gained and lost board majorities. The lawsuit argues that the new standards will cause Kansas public schools to promote a non-theistic religious worldview by allowing only materialistic or atheistic explanations to scientific questions, particularly about the origins of life and the universe. The suit further argues that state would be indoctrinating impressionable students in violation of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitutions protections for religious freedom. John Calvert, a Lake Quivira attorney representing the group and the parents, said the new standards are particularly troubling because students would start learning evolutionary concepts in kindergarten. Calvert was a key figure in past Kansas evolution debates and helped found the Intelligent Design Network, which contends that life is too complex to have developed through unguided evolution. By the time you get into the third grade, you learn all the essential elements of Darwinian evolution, Calvert said in an interview with The Associated Press before the filing. By the time youre in middle school, youre a Darwinist. Kansas uses its standards to develop statewide tests given to students each year to judge how well schools are teaching, which in turn influence what happens in classrooms. New tests could take up

TOPEKA An anti-evolution group filed a federal lawsuit Thursday to block Kansas from using new, multistate science standards in its public schools, arguing the guidelines promote atheism and violate students and parents religious freedom. The group, Citizens for Objective Public Education, had criticized the standards developed by Kansas, 25 other states and the National Research Council for treating both evolution and climate change as key scientific concepts to be taught from kindergarten through

to four years to develop. The lawsuit suggests that if the federal court wont block the standards completely, it could bar the state from implementing standards dealing with the origins of life and the universe until high school and require schools to incorporate adequate and reasonably complete information about those topics afterward. The information included in the lawsuit is reminiscent of material skeptical of evolution inserted at the urging of Calvert and other intelligent design proponents in science guidelines adopted by a conservativeled State Board of Education in 2005.

Mississippi Gov. says Christianity shapes his world view

Associated Press
FLOWOOD, Miss. Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant told a group of students Thursday that Christianity shapes his world view and hes not apologetic about opposing abortion or putting Nativity scenes on public property. The Republican spoke at Hartfield Academy, a Christian school in the Jackson suburb Flowood. The school is starting a series of programs for political and business leaders to talk about their faith. Bryant, who is Methodist, was the first speaker, and about 300 students from Hartfield Academy and Christ Covenant School of Ridgeland gathered in the Hartfield gymnasium to hear him. Wandering back and forth with a wireless microphone, Bryant told the middle school and high school students: Sometimes, as a Christian, when you try your very best and take a particular position, some people can be very critical of that maybe not because of a religious standpoint, but some secular beliefs they have. Like, Im very pro-life. I just believe that that child has a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And I dont believe you ought to go about destroying those lives. Bryant signed a 2012 law that threatens to close Mississippis only abortion clinic. It requires every OBGYN who works there to have admitting privileges to a local hospital but privileges can be difficult to obtain because hospitals often wont give them to out-of-state physicians. The clinic filed a federal lawsuit challenging the requirement, and a judge put the law on hold to give the clinic time to try to comply. So far, the clinic has been unable to get privileges for its out-of-state doctors. Bryant said he knows people might post bad things about him on social media. But, you know, if I didnt stand for that, then what would I have to do? he said. And as a Christian, I say, Lord, Lord, I think I understand what you would like me to do as governor when it comes to the sanctity of life. In fact, I think its best I can, to interject myself and to try and stop that horrible procedure whenever I can. Bryant became governor in January 2012. He said Thursday that he put a Nativity scene on the lawn of the Governors Mansion last year because it reflects his faith. A Nativity scene also has been inside the state Capitol in recent years. I remember a young lady came into the Capitol, there were reporters gathered around me and she said, Why is this Nativity scene so important? Bryant said. I said, You know, Christmas is not about having sales and its not only about putting up trees and seeing who can put the most lights on your house. We wouldnt have this season if it wasnt for that baby, if it wasnt for that child. And so I think, I just have this wild, radical idea that in government, we have the right, I have the right and we all have the right to express that belief that Christmas began when a child was born unto a virgin. He came to us as the son of God, Bryant said. Some critics said the Nativity scene was inappropriate because it mingled church and state. Nobody filed a legal challenge, but Bryant said he wouldnt be bothered if they did. A court may say, You cant put that Nativity scene in a public school, you cant do certain things in a public building. And so they will send some type of injunction and order me not to do it, Bryant said. He noted that early Christians couldve faced stoning or crucifixion. So its a lot better, Bryant said. Injunctions are better than being crucified.

Can critters or plants predict the weather?

Chuck Otte
Field & Garden cate a cold winter approaching as does a lot of mice trying to get into your house. So how about it? Do critters or plants have the ability to predict the weather? Well, no matter what I say, the believers will say yes and the nay-sayers will say no! Do I believe that critters and plants can predict the weather? No. Is the action of critters or heavy nut crops, etc. in response to the weather? Absolutely. But lets not get the cart before the horse. Everything in nature is cause and effect, but lets get the right cause with the right effect. How a plant grows, and subsequently what it is doing this year, this fall or even right now, is a factor of the weather that we have had all year as well as last year and the years before that. If an oak tree has a lot of acorns, it means that the tree had a good growing season. There were no late frosts to kill the blossoms, it was good weather for pollinating and then good temperatures and precipitation to make sure that the small acorns continued to develop to maturity. Thats all it means. Lets also realize that daily, monthly and annual weather can follow in patterns. Patterns may last for weeks, months or years. A year with a mild winter can be followed by a year with a cold and snowy winter. A mild winter could mean good acorn production conditions. So that mild winter created a situation that allowed a good acorn crop. People will always remember when the folk lore comes true, but rarely do they remember when it was a bust! You could have two mild winters in a row. Or you could have a bad summer with no acorn production and a severe winter that follows. You also have to keep in mind that a bit of forecasting folklore may have been fairly accurate in New England, but just doesnt work here in Kansas! The folklore migrated with the settlers, but the weather patterns did not. What about the Wooly Bear caterpillars. Does the width of the brown section have any predictive ability for the upcoming winter weather? Legend has it that the wider the brown middle section, the milder the winter. In reality, it appears that the width of the brown band, or rather the number of brown hairs is directly related to how early the caterpillar hatched out of its egg. A late spring hatch will result in caterpillars with a different number of brown hairs than an early spring hatch. Its weather related alright, but weather that has already been. As for squirrels busy caching nuts, theyll only cache them if there are acorns. Again, a function of what has been, not whats going to be! Weather folklore is fun. White frost flower does in fact bloom about six weeks before our first freeze, assuming our freeze occurs at about the standard time. Seem people swear by these legends, others scoff at them. As for me, they are fun to observe, but when you get right down to it, I dont even trust the weatherman, so Im not about to trust a caterpillar.

very year I am asked numerous times whether this critter or that plant can predict the weather. Everybody has heard about the Wooly Bear caterpillars weather predicting ability, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. White frost flowers start to bloom six weeks before the first frost, according to legend. Large hay crops as well as large nut (acorn or walnut crops) are said to indicate a hard winter approaching. Squirrels that seem extra busy caching nuts is another indicator, according to legend, of a harsh winter. Thick skins on onions or extra heavy husks on corn are also supposed to indi-

Fall into healthy living F

all is officially here and for many folks, this is the season when they fall back in to old habits that they worked so hard to break during the fair weather of spring and the warm sunshine of summer. Some of the more common areas of relapse are making healthy food choices and maintaining physical activity. It seems that spring and summer are the seasons that lend themselves to activity and healthy eating while fall and winter are the seasons when we tend to slow down, if not halt, that forward momentum. Before you fully turn that corner into relapse, I have a few simple ideas to help you fall in to healthy living instead of falling back into bad habits. My first suggestion is to make sure each meal you have is focused on healthy eating. You can do this in several ways. Make at least half of your plate at each meal full of fruits and vegetables. Fresh fruits and vegetables add color and crunch to the meal, but you can use frozen and canned products as good alternatives (watch sugar and salt content, though.) Try adding variety

Deb Andres
Living Resourcefully to your protein choices by changing up your cooking method. Grilling is certainly a great option in the cooler evenings the fall season offers us, but you can bring it back inside and broil or roast your meats. All three of these methods keep you from adding extra fat to the food you are preparing. Make sure at least half of the breads, pasta and cereal products you are consuming are whole-grain. Reduce the amount of food you eat that is high in fat, sugar, and salt. If you arent already drinking skim or 1% milk, consider making the change so that you are still getting the same nutritive value without the higher calories of whole milk. Another recommendation is to monitor the portion size and the calorie content of what you consume. Many restaurants offer their nutritional information online or identify the lower calorie meal choices on their menu for

their customers. I am a strong advocate for eating at home as much as possible. Not only is it less expensive to prepare your own food, you have more control over the food preparation methods and ingredients you use in your meal. You have the ability to limit the portion size and calorie content of the foods you prepare for yourself and your family. A third action you could take would be to maintain, if not increase, your daily physical activity level by finding activities you like to do. I have to admit that I am a fair-weather walker, but there are other activities I like that keep me moving. With 3 young kids at home, going for a bicycle ride always moves me to #1 Mom status. Although I could ask my kids to trek up and down the stairs on laundry days, often times I will choose to do this task instead, just to make sure I am getting my exercise in for the day. If you have an office job where you tend to sit for the majority of the day, make sure you get up from your desk at least once an hour to get your body moving.As suggestions, walk down to the water fountain or out to the parking lot and back.

Finally, drinking plenty of water is foundational to maintaining a healthy balance. Even in the fall and winter months when the cooler weather reduces our rate of perspiration, our body needs water to maintain its functions. Our body uses water for the following functions: regulate body temperature; lubricate and cushion our joints; protect our body specifically the spinal cord and other sensitive tissue; and keep our body regular by ridding it of waste. Keep your water balance at an adequate level by carrying a water bottle with you at work or home. Keep the water cool to make it more appealing. You can also add a slice of lemon or lime to jazz up the flavor a bit. Choose water over sug-

ar-sweetened beverages. As added benefits, water has no calories and usually costs nothing when you are dining out. (Sources: CDC, USDA) If you find yourself wanting to avoid the loss of momentum during the fall season, I am offering a couple of Healthy Living programs on Oct. 3 that will give you some ideas of what you can do to start or maintain a healthy balance in your daily living. The first program is targeted for adults who are 50 and older that are interested in increasing their physical activity. The one hour program begins at 4 p.m. at the Geary County Senior Center. The program will explain the impact an active lifestyle has on health and well-being and explore

types of activities that can keep you active. Another program later the same day at 6 p.m. is for adults of any age. This hour-long program will help participants consider their food choices and create a personal plan to get themselves motivated to eat healthy and be physically active. Both programs are free, but require that you call the Geary County office to register so that we can make sure we have enough resources for everyone. Contact Donna at the Geary County Extension office at 238-4161 to reserve your space.
