Junction City will need creative options to fund the millions of dollars in needed repairs and upgrades at its water treatment plant and two wastewater treatment plants. Following a lengthy discussion, the City Commission Tuesday voted 3-2 to select Raftelis Financial Consultants to perform a water and sewer rate analysis and devel-

City Manager Gerald Smith told commissioners it was important to select the most qualified firm, which city staff believed was Raftelis. There is no room for error here, he said.

m.editor@thedailyunion.net
Junction City police have confirmed the identity of a body found last week in rural Geary County as that of Amanda Clemons, who was reported missing late Feb. 7. According to a statement issued by Junction City Police Chief Tim Brown, an autopsy conducted Saturday determined the cause of death as sharp-force injury. Police are ruling her death a homicide. Clemons was reported missing Feb. 10, after she was last seen leaving room 112 of the Budget Host Hotel, 820 S. Washington St. in Junction City on Feb. 7. Police received information stating Clemons was observed being placed in a silver vehicle occupied by two males and two females. Last week, Junction City detectives and Federal Bureau of Investigation agents developed information leading them to execute a search warrant on Fort Riley involving the investigation. Afterward, detectives and agents conducted interviews, which then directed law enforcement Please see Body Found, 8A

GRANDVIEW PLAZA Due to the crunch of environmental regulations, Grandview Plaza officials will most likely have to add to their lagoon system. Currently, the city is not meeting state regulations for its lagoon system due to factors such as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and population. BOD is the amount of dissolved oxygen that must be present in water in order for microorganisms to decompose the organic matter in water, used as a measure of the degree of pollution. Engineer Stuart Porter of Schwab Eaton made a presentation to the council about the problem. To help combat it, Eaton suggested the city add 8.8 acres to its existing lagoon system, which is made up 15.3 acres. Its not that the city isnt doing a good job, Porter said. The reality is that with finite-sized lagoons, there comes a point when something has to be done.

Business Ethics Case Competition
MANHATTAN Six university teams from the region will get the chance to compete for a grand prize of $2,000 in the Phillips 66-Enactus Business Ethics Case Competition, Feb. 20-22, hosted by Kansas State University and sponsored by the Phillips 66 Excellence in Business Ethics Initiative. Teams competing are from the University of Kansas, Iowa State University, Texas A&M University, Truman State University, University of Northern Colorado and University of Oklahoma. Enactus is a nonprofit, global organization that uses entrepreneurial action to create and implement community outreach projects around the world. Enactus teams get to decide how many projects and what type of projects they do. Enactus is open to all majors. At the competition, the four-member student teams will have 36 hours to analyze a problem, plan a solution and present a professional PowerPoint for the judges. Teams will be judged on three different components: the application of the ethical principles, business consideration and presentation skills. The competition allows students to demonstrate their understanding of ethical leadership when faced with realistic business ethics dilemma. Students also will get the chance to improve their presentation skills and network. In addition, the competition lets students apply knowledge acquired through their college courses; network with other students, schools and business advocates; and explore future career strategies. The winning team will receive $2,000; second place earns $1,500; third place, $1,000; and fourth, fifth and sixth places, $500. The competition will take place at the Holiday Inn Manhattan at the Campus, 1641 Anderson Ave., which is across the street from the university campus.

Research helps felines feel fine by understanding deadly zoonotic disease

MANHATTAN A Kansas State University epidemiologist is helping cats, pet owners and soldiers stay healthy by studying feline tularemia and the factors that influence its prevalence. Ram Raghavan, assistant professor of diagnostic medicine and pathobiology, and collaborative researchers have found that a certain combination of climate, physical environment and socio-ecologic conditions are behind tularemia infections among cats in the region. More than 50 percent of all tularemia cases in the U.S. occur in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas, Raghavan said. Francisella tularensis, a bacterium that causes tularemia, commonly circulates among ticks, rabbits and rodents in the wild, but also frequently infects domestic cats. Tularemia is a zoonotic disease that can spread to humans through ticks or insect bites, eating undercooked rabbit meat, close contact with infected animals or even through airborne means. If left untreated, it can cause death in humans and animals, Raghavan said. While it is not known exactly how many human tularemia cases are caused by exposure to infected cats, it is possible for cats to transmit the disease to owners through bites and scratches. Cats also can be reliable sentinels for recognizing disease activity in the environment. If cats hunt outdoors or come into contact with an infected rabbit or animal, they can bring tularemia back to their owners. Raghavans research so far has found that tularemia is more likely to appear: In newly urbanized areas. In residential locations surrounded by grassland. In high-humidity environments. Raghavan found that locations where tularemia was confirmed had highhumidity conditions about eight weeks before the disease appeared. For the research, Raghavan is partnering with the universitys geography department and the Public Health Department of Fort Riley Medical Activity. Raghavan maps tularemia cases confirmed by the Kansas State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory and then collaborates with John Harrington Jr. and Doug Goodin both professors of geography to compile geospatial data for tularemia locations. By bringing in layers of data the researchers are determining how different influential factors -- such as climate, land cover, landscape and pet owners economic conditions -- can lead to feline tularemia. Taking a multidisciplinary and computational approach helps us quickly understand the disease and make new discoveries, Raghavan said. We use diagnostic information collected over time at the Kansas State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory and a wealth of extremely useful information from NASA and other agencies. We can then put all these data in a framework where it is useful for public health and animal health. While tularemia is more common in young children and men, people also can get the disease when mowing lawns in a contaminated area, Raghavan said. Both human and feline tularemia cases peak through late spring and summer when the weather is warmer, more ticks are present and more people are outside.

University now offering online minors in grain science

MANHATTAN Kansas State University is now offering bakery science and management, feed science and management and grain handling operations as stand-alone minors through distance education. The stand-alone minors are not only available to current K-State undergraduate and postbaccalaureate students, but also to graduates of other accredited fouryear universities who need educational instruction in grain science disciplines. We have been approached by industry companies, associations and trade groups about making these minors available to non-K-State graduates so that hires without a grain-based background may learn basic information to help them better understand the industry in which they are working while also allowing employees to get college credit for a minor, said Huseyin Dogan, instructor of grain science at Kansas State University. Helping individuals earn these stand-alone minors will help increase the number of educated professionals in the grain science industry, Dogan said.

Board of Health seeks to help locals kick tobacco habit

B Y C HASE JORDAN

Health Department officials want residents to kick the tobacco habit. We talk about tobacco and some people just see it as a choice, Administrator Patricia Hunter said. No, its not a choice, its very addictive. During a Wednesday meeting for the Junction City-Geary County Joint Board of Health, Hunter discussed deterring tobacco use. One way to accomplish that is through the Chronic Disease Risk Reduction (CDRR) program. Its purpose is to provide the department with multiple opportunities to provide outreach and health communication in the community. Although the department is working to educate the public about the health risks of obesity, Hunter said they also want to focus on tobacco. According to the Center for Dis-

ease Control and Prevention, smoking risks include cancer, stroke, heart disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which causes airflow blockage and breathing-related problems. Considering now that we have more evidence on the impact of tobacco, we feel strongly from a public health standpoint that we need to focus heavily on the tobacco prevention component, Hunter said. The department is currently working to obtain CDRR grant money to raise awareness. The possible amount is unknown. Were going to focus more on students and, if possible, combine it with some existing youth programs, Hunter said. When they see commercials, we want them to dissect it so they dont get influenced by the glamour aspect and to understand that their health is a lifetime thing that they need to take care of.

According to annual reports, the Community Health Assessment Group Evaluation (CHANGE) tool was established in 2012 to improve health. Some of the ongoing activities included working with Geary County schools and the promotion of Kansas Quitline, a counseling service.

Board members discussed the current policy for treating minors.

Department improving policy for treating minors

One of the main issues with that policy is pregnancy. Hunter would like to reinforce that pregnant girls should have parental involvement while receiving services at the department. The medical community could see them, but on our side it was perceived that we can do the same thing, Hunter said. As new employees come in, sometimes that education diminishes. Now we need to put it in a policy format. Hunter said theyll continue to work with the minors on lifechanging issues such as pregnancy. We go through the process with them and tell them that their parents must know at some point, Hunter said. Its better to be early so we can provide good prenatal care, so the outcome is a healthy baby.

Heritage Park will see new memorial

Heritage Park could soon be home to another memorial honoring military veterans. The Junction City Commission accepted the planned memorial as a gift from the Flint Hills Rotary Club Tuesday night. The club is working to raise about $30,000 to fund the construction and installation of the memorial. Club member Steve Pringle told commissioners veterans in the community wanted to see a memorial that encompassed more of those who served. They would really like to see a small memorial for the veterans that actually sacrificed for our freedom, he said. Other area veterans and motorcycle organizations are helping the club raise the needed funds. The project will be privately funded with no cost to the city. Once funds have been raised, the memorial will be mounted on a concrete base measuring about seven feet wide and five feet tall. It will be placed north of the current Kansas Vietnam Memorial along the Washington Street side of the park. The planned memorial depicts engraved seals in remembrance of all Prisoners of War-Missing in

Action, Killed in Action and Wounded in Action veterans. The memorials rear would be engraved with two poems honoring veterans and brotherhood. Pringle said the memorial would be a welcomed addition to the parks current memorials. Through the year, that area they use for weddings, re-enlistments, he said. The veterans use that area a lot. The Flint Hills Rotary Club, Pringle said, has taken care of the area of the park near the Vietnam memorial since 1998. The organization has been working on the new memorial project for six months. Pringle, who said hes had people already asking about making donations, believes the memorial could be installed later this year. I see it done this fall, he said. Any leftover donations the club receives will be used for continuing maintenance in that area of the park. Vice Mayor Pat Landes told Pringle he appreciates the club keeping that area beautiful. Your group does a great job of maintaining that area, Landes said. For information on how to donate to the new memorial, call (785) 7615740 or visit the JC Memorial Facebook page.

Canadian writer Gallant dies at 91

By The Associated Press
TORONTO Mavis Gallant, the Montreal-born writer who carved out an international reputation as a master short-story author while living in Paris for decades, died Tuesday at age 91, her publisher said. The bilingual Quebecoise started out as a journalist and went on to publish well over 100 short stories in her lauded career, many of them in The New Yorker magazine and in collections such as The Other Paris, Across the Bridge and In Transit. Random House in Canada confirmed the death, saying she died in her Paris apartment Tuesday morning. American author Joyce Carol Oates compared Gallant to another Canadian short story master, Alice Munro, who captured the 2013 Nobel Prize for literature.

Homeland Security warns airlines of new threat

WASHINGTON The Homeland Security has warned airlines that terrorists could try to hide explosives in shoes. Its the second time in less than three weeks that the government has issued a warning about possible attempts to smuggle explosives on a commercial jetliner. Homeland Security said Wednesday it regularly shares relevant information with domestic and international partners, but it declined to discuss specifics of a warning sent to airlines. Our security apparatus includes a number of measures, both seen and unseen, informed by the latest intelligence and as always DHS continues to adjust security measures to fit an ever evolving threat environment, the department said in a statement. A U.S. intelligence official told The Associated Press that DHS released a notice to airlines reiterating that liquids, shoes and certain cosmetics were of concern, all of which are covered under existing Transportation Security Administration security policies. The latest warning was focused on flights headed to the United States from abroad. The official said something caused DHS concern, but its a very low threshold to trigger a warning like this. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the issue publicly. Earlier this month Homeland Security warned airlines with flights to Russia to be on the lookout for explosive devices possibly hidden inside toothpaste. The Transportation Security Administration then banned passengers from bringing any liquids in their carry-on luggage on nonstop flights from the U.S. to Russia. That warning became public just days before the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics in Sochi. It is unclear if the latest warning, first reported Wednesday by NBC News, is related to the earlier threats to Russia-bound flights.

bound flight in late 2001. Reid pleaded guilty to terrorism charges and is serving a life sentence. The traveling public has grown increasingly impatient with expanding security checks at airports. TSA in recent years has changed some security procedures to allow young children and passengers 75 and older to keep their shoes on. The security agency has also launched a fee-based program that allows willing flyers to submit to background checks and avoid having to remove their shoes, jackets and small amounts of liquids packed in carry-on luggage.

Taliban say they discussed prison swap with US

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan Washington has held indirect talks with the Taliban over the possible transfer of five senior Taliban prisoners from Guantanamo Bay in exchange for a U.S. soldier captured nearly five years ago, a senior Taliban official told The Associated Press. Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, 27, of Hailey, Idaho, was last seen in a video released in December, footage seen as proof of life demanded by the United States. Bergdahl is believed to be held in the border regions between Afghanistan and Pakistan. He is the only U.S. soldier to be captured in Americas longest war, which began with the U.S.-led ouster of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan for sheltering al-Qaida in 2001 in the wake of the Sept. 11 terror attacks. The talks, which the Taliban official said took place sometime over the past two months in a Middle East country, would be the first significant movement toward an exchange since it was last discussed by the U.S. and the Taliban in June 2013. That earlier initiative, along with the overall peace efforts, lost steam after Afghan President Hamid Karzai argued over the name of a Taliban political office that opened in the Gulf nation of Qatar. The office was eventually closed but several Taliban have remained behind in Qatar. A U.S. official said the Americans are considering a prisoner exchange but would not comment

on whether any new talks have taken place. The official, who has been closely involved with this issue and has knowledge of previous talks with the Taliban, refused to give more details. State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf would not confirm the efforts. We are not currently involved in active negotiations with the Taliban, Harf said Wednesday. Clearly if negotiations do resume at some point with the Taliban, then we would want to talk with them about the safe return of Sergeant Bergdahl. In Kabul, a senior Afghan official said the U.S. has recently been in touch with Karzais government over a possible exchange involving Berdahl, who was captured on June 30, 2009. Time might be ripe for a swap. Karzai has refused to sign a bilateral security agreement that would allow the U.S. to leave a residual force in Afghanistan after the NATO-led combat mission formally ends at the end of this year. Karzai says he must first see movement on reconciliation with the Taliban. He maintains that Washington has connections with the Taliban that can help with this process. But there are potential roadblocks. The five Taliban detainees currently are not among those Guantanamo Bay prisoners who have been approved for transfer once their home countries provide security guarantees. The Obama administration, which wants to close the facility, has argued that many approved transfers effectively have been blocked by rigid restrictions imposed by Congress. Recently, Congress eased the restrictions, including the toughest one, requiring the secretary of defense to personally certify that there would be no recidivism for any detainee he certified, according to Pentagon spokesman, Army Lt. Col. Todd Breasseale. The transfer process, once it has begun, would take about two months, a senior U.S. official said, also speaking on condition of anonymity. Both U.S. officials and the Afghan official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss

the issue publicly. It was not clear where the five Taliban prisoners would go if released from Guantanamo Bay. Karzai has demanded that they be transferred to Afghanistan. The Taliban want them released to Qatar, suggesting they could be helpful with the peace process. The senior Taliban official said leaders of the movement are serious about the prisoners issue. He said the talks were held through an intermediary and did not involve direct discussions with U.S. officials. He refused to give more details and spoke on condition of anonymity because he did not have Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omars permission to talk to the media. The five Taliban detainees at the heart of the proposal are the most senior Afghans still held at the prison at the U.S. base in Cuba. Each has been held since 2002. They include: Mohammad Fazl, whom Human Rights Watch says could be prosecuted for war crimes for presiding over the mass killing of Shiite Muslims in Afghanistan in 2000 and 2001 as the Taliban sought to consolidate its control over the country. Abdul Haq Wasiq, who served as the Taliban deputy minister of intelligence and was in direct contact with supreme leader Mullah Omar as well as other senior Taliban figures, according to military documents. Under Wasiq, there were widespread accounts of killings, torture and mistreatment. Mullah Norullah Nori, who was a senior Taliban commander in the northern city of Mazar-eSharif when the Taliban fought U.S. forces in late 2001. He previously served as a Taliban governor in two northern provinces, where he has been accused of ordering the massacre of thousands of Shiites. Khairullah Khairkhwa, who served in various Taliban positions including interior minister and a military commander and had direct ties to Mullah Omar and Osama bin Laden, according to U.S. military documents. His U.S. lawyers have argued in court papers that his affiliation with the Taliban was a matter of circumstance, rather than ideolo-

gy, and that he had backed away from them by the time of his capture. His lawyers also have argued that he was merely a civil servant and had no military role, though a judge found otherwise and said there was enough evidence to justify holding him at Guantanamo. His lawyers have appealed. Mohammed Nabi, who served as chief of security for the Taliban in Qalat, Afghanistan and later worked as a radio operator for the Talibans communications office in Kabul and as an office manager in the border department, according to U.S. military documents. In the spring of 2002, he told interrogators that he received about $500 from a CIA operative as part of the unsuccessful effort to track down Mullah Omar. When that didnt pan out, he says he ended up helping the agency locate al-Qaida members.

Body found believed to be missing Missouri girls

ST. LOUIS A middle-school football coach has been jailed on suspicion of first-degree murder in the abduction and death of a 10-year-old girl in southwest Missouri, police said Wednesday. A body believed to be that of Hailey Owens was found Wednesday at a Springfield home owned by the suspect, Police Chief Paul Williams said at a news conference. Official confirmation wont occur until after an autopsy, but the chief said police have a high degree of confidence in the preliminary identification. He did not disclose the childs cause of death. Police say Craig Michael Wood, 45, is jailed on suspicion of firstdegree murder but formal charges have not been filed. The Greene County prosecutor is reviewing the case and scheduled a news conference for late Wednesday afternoon. Hailey was walking to a friends home in Springfield just before 5 p.m. Tuesday. Witnesses told investigators that a man in a gold 2008 Ford Ranger pickup truck drove down the street several times before abducting the child, who was just several blocks from her own home. Wood was arrested late Tuesday inside the truck parked outside his small, single-story home.

Our view Maintenance funding a must for future city plans

alk about sticker shock. The Junction City Commission was handed a doozie during a Monday work session when members were told repairs and upgrades to the citys water and wastewater facilities could cost $63 million over the next seven years. For a city that still owes $150 million it has been struggling and sacrificing to pay down over the past four years or so, that is not welcome news. As citizens become aware of the situation, there will be finger-pointing. Clearly the water and wastewater plants have not been properly maintained and upgraded, so the city is now at a juncture where the situation has become critical. Veolia Water has operated the citys three treatment plants since 1989. Now as City Manager Gerald Smith said, these expensive upgrades must be done to keep the plants running. The city Tuesday night hired a consultant to figure out the next steps, which will include rate hikes, borrowing money, and determining the true capital and maintenance needs. It is going to be an expensive proposition, even if the $63 million price tag provided by HDR Engineering proves overly pessimistic. It is hard to see where city officials have any choice but to move forward. One thing is clear, however. Future plans must include adequate funding and manpower for proper maintenance. We agree that the chamber should have consulted with the economic development commission before agreeing to pursue a capital campaign feasibility study, as some members have indicated. The commission is one of the umbrella agencies under the chamber, and as it name implies, economic development is its primary focus. The community development fundraising campaign, if it takes place, would doubtlessly include economic development as one of its goals. Members of the economic development committee have voiced support for the study, even if they werent included in the decision. The focus now should be on the study itself, while remembering in the future that including all stakeholders best ensures success.

Animal quality of life becoming hot topic

B Y JOHN S CHLAGECK

Kansas Farm Bureau

The importance of working together

armers and ranchers have always adhered to sound principles of animal care for their livestock. Societys views on animal welfare, on the other hand, continue to evolve. Today, people are becoming more concerned for the animals quality of life. While there are fringe groups, activists if you will, many people have honest questions and concerns about the quality of life for food animals. Who are these people? Some are like you. Others may be like me. They are not opposed to eating meat. They just want to know that while that sow is going through the production cycle, she has a reasonable quality of life. Consumers want to know animals

are not abused or subjected to inhumane conditions. They believe animals should be well cared for and the people who care for them honestly care for them. Farmers and ranchers cannot single out anyone and place blame for these changing societal views. Instead, the agricultural sector must view this as our culture and society coming to terms with new types of social issues. It just so happens animals have become integrated into this process. One reason for this new interest in animal welfare may be that Western European, Japanese and U.S. consumers do not have to worry about where their next meal comes from. U.S. citizens have time to contemplate the quality of life for animals in this country, but few of us want to change our own lifestyles. Farmers and ranchers those people who provide our food will have to continue to accept and use sound ani-

mal husbandry practices. If agricultural producers honestly show they are putting effort into meeting a standard of care thats beneficial and conducive to a healthy living standard, the public will accept and embrace those who raise and care for livestock. Agricultural producers must stay tuned to societal and consumer concerns and be responsive industry-wide while enhancing the well-being of their livestock. That said, todays consumers will continue to regard agriculture highly and embrace a food which they enjoy and feel good about.

Another view US-French ties get a boost at the White House

The following editorial appeared in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Monday, Feb. 17:
The three-day visit of French President Francois Hollande to the United States last week, once the fluff about his love life was brushed away, underlined the importance of the relationship between America and France. France has had particular value to the United States as an ally, starting in Americas revolutionary period. Perhaps its most useful characteristic as an ally across the years is that it wields credible military power and is willing and able to use it. The French president is able to send troops into difficult situations at the drop of a hat, generally without even grumbling from the parliament. France and Mr. Hollande have done so, most recently in two of Frances former African colonies, Mali and the Central African Republic. France, with the United Kingdom, also signed on to President Barack Obamas intervention in support of rebels fighting against Moammar Gadhafis regime in Libya. The Fezzan, Libyas third region after coastal Cyrenaica and Tripolitania, was also part of Frances colonial domain. Frances other value as an ally in 2014 is the fact that it is the strongest country, after Germany, in the 28-nation European Union and, after the United Kingdom, Americas most important partner in NATO, the trans-Atlantic military alliance. Its governments do not always agree with Washington, notably over the Iraq War, but are always an important interlocutor. This visit, apart from the fussing over who at the White House state dinner sat in the place that was to have been occupied by Mr. Hollandes former significant other, Valerie Trierweiler _ the Obamas put him between them _ permitted discussion between the two presidents of a range of important issues. These included the problems presented by the continuing Syria conflict, progress in the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations and growing pressure for boycotts against Israel, and the discussions with Iran on curtailing its nuclear ambitions in return for easing the economic sanctions against it. Top-level U.S.-French contacts are always useful. These were particularly timely, given the critical issues on the tables at which both countries sit.

s a child growing up in Detroit and Boston, I had many opportunities to experience the ugly face of racism and witnessed the devastating toll exacted by its mean-spirited nature. I was a victim of the racism of low expectations for black children, but in retrospect, I can see that many of those attitudes were based on ignorance. Large numbers of white people actually believed that blacks were intellectually inferior, and there was a host of other inaccurate beliefs that whites held about blacks and that blacks held about whites. Many of those misperceptions probably would have persisted if measures had not been taken to abolish the separation of the races. One of those measures was affirmative action, which was based on the admirable concept that we should take into consideration inherent difficulties faced by minorities growing up in a racist society. I believe that I benefited from affirmative action. When I applied to Yale University, I thought my chances of being accepted were favorable only because I was somewhat naive about admissions requirements for a high-powered Ivy League institution. I graduated third in my high school class rather than at the top, largely because my sophomore year was a total waste after I got caught up in the negative aspects of peer pressure and abandoned my studies for the sake of social acceptance. I had a healthy grade-point average by the time I graduated, and one of the Detroit newspapers printed an article that stated I had the highest SAT scores of any student graduating from the Detroit public schools in 20 years. I was also the city executive officer for the ROTC program and had a long list of extracurricular activities.

In my mind, I was pretty hot stuff. Only after I got to Yale and became cognizant of my classmates many accomplishments did I realize that the admissions committee had taken a substantial risk on me and that I had been extended special consideration. My early academic experiences were traumatic, and but for the grace of God, I would have flunked out. Fortunately, I was able to adjust to the academic rigors necessary to qualify for medical school admission at the University of Michigan. Medical school was transformative, and I was subsequently accepted into the selective neurosurgical residency at Johns Hopkins. By that time, no special considerations were expected or needed. Today, there are many young people from a variety of racial backgrounds who are severely deprived economically and could benefit from the extension of a helping hand in education, employment and other endeavors. Such extra consideration is actually helpful to all of us as a society. For each individual we prevent from going down the path of underachievement, there is one less person who will need support from governmental entitlement programs. More importantly, there is one more person who may make substantial contributions that benefit mankind. The real question is this: Who should receive extra consideration from a nation that has a tradition of cheering for the underdog? My answer to that question may surprise many, but I dont believe race determines underdog status today. Rather, it is the circumstances of ones life that should be considered. For example, lets take a child who is a member of a racial minority with parents who are successful professionals who have given their child every imaginable advantage.The child applies to a prestigious university with a 3.95 grade-point average, excellent SAT scores and a great record of communi-

ty service. This child would obviously be an excellent candidate for admission. Lets take another child who is white, but whose father is incarcerated and whose mother is an alcoholic. Despite these disadvantages, the child still has a 3.7 grade-point average, very good SAT scores and a resume that includes several low-paying jobs. Without taking any other factors into consideration, the choice is clear: The first student would be admitted over the second. However, I think extra consideration should go to the second child, who has clearly demonstrated the tenacity and determination to succeed in the face of daunting odds. If that second child happens to be a member of a racial minority, obviously he would receive the extra consideration, as well. I call this compassionate action. Such a strategy demonstrates sensitivity and compassion, as well as recognition of substantial achievement in the face of difficult obstacles. The groups who benefit from compassionate action will probably change over time, depending on which ones have the greatest number of obstacles to overcome. The point is, its time to be more concerned about the content of character than the color of skin when extending extra consideration. Some people are still willfully ignorant and wish to look at external physical characteristics in determining a persons abilities. These people are unlikely to change even when equipped with information, because they already think they possess superior knowledge and wisdom. All we can do is pray that someday, they will have a change of heart.

Kansas GOP pushes for changes in local elections

TOPEKA The Kansas Republican Party is pushing legislators to change the dates of local elections and make them partisan, but a GOP-dominated state Senate committee rejected the second part of that plan Wednesday. The Senate Ethics and Elections Committee debated a bill to hold city, local school board and community college board elections on the same schedule as legislative, congressional and statewide contests. Primaries would be in August of even-numbered years and general elections in November. The committee rewrote parts of the measure extensively and doesnt expect to take final action on it until at least next week. Kansas holds nonpartisan local elections in the spring of odd-numbered years, with the general elections in early April. Voter turnout percentages can dip into the single digits, and Republican Party officials point out that having local elections coincide with state, congressional and presidential ones is certain to boost turnout. The intent of trying to move these elections is really to drive voter turnout, state GOP Chairman Kelly Arnold said after the committees meeting. Part of it is taking the elections and moving them to where the voters are. But the committee removed language making local elections partisan. Sen. Steve Fitzgerald, a Leavenworth Republican whose district includes Fort Leavenworth, noted federal law prevents military personnel and federal workers from running for partisan office. A number of them have served in city commissions or on school boards, and this would deprive us of some very good people, said Fitzgerald, a retired Army lieutenant colonel. Arnold and other Republiinduce an immigrant to reside unlawfully in the United States. The U.S. Attorneys office says a federal judge on Wednesday granted Tians request to be released to a halfway house. The judge also ordered her to obtain lawful employment. Tian has agreed to testify against her two former employers, who are awaiting trial. In her plea deal, she admitted moving to Wichita to work for the pair and said they encouraged her to perform sex acts for patrons of two massage parlors where she worked. the Senate. The bill creates a state refund for the sales taxes paid on textbooks required for classes at state and private universities, community colleges and technical colleges. Students would apply to the Department of Revenue for the refund. The proposal comes from Wichita Democrat Brandon Whipple, who said its a way to help students and their families. State officials dont know how much the break would save taxpayers. The states sales tax is 6.15 percent.

House approves college textbook tax break

Kansas Republican Party officials confer during a state Senate committee debate on the GOPs proposal to change local elections, Wednesday at the Statehouse in Topeka. They are, right to left, Chairman Kelly Arnold, Political Director Heath Kohl and Executive Director Clay Barker.
can Party officials argued that making the elections partisan would help voters pick candidates by at least letting party affiliation act as a rough guide to their philosophies in low-key races in which voters sometimes dont see much campaign advertising. Arnold said parties also can help candidates disseminate their messages. But some critics of the legislation see a push for partisan elections as an attempt by conservatives to use their clout within the GOP, the dominant political party in most of the state, to assert more control over cities and school districts. And the rewritten measure is still drawing opposition from local officials, who acknowledge the low turnout in their elections but contend down-ballot races will get lost amid other contests in even-numbered years. Theyre trying to change things that dont need to be changed, said Mike Taylor, a lobbyist for the Unified Government of Kansas City, and Wyandotte County. reading.

Cast member of the Junction City Little Theater Show, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Rick Munson, presented information about the show and told about the cast. The show was presented Feb. 14, 15 and 16. The program was presented by Charlotte Grelk, who is the Geary County representative to the Barn Quilt Tour committee. She explained barn quilts and stated there are 22 counties of the Flint Hills involved, and a map is available where barn quilts are displayed. A display is featured at the Geary County Historical Society Museum, and a barn quilt will soon be on display at the Spring Valley site. The moment in history was presented by Nellie Stone, as she read the minutes from Feb. 15, 1940, when Laura Rohrer told about her experiences of seeing the William Tell play in Switzerland.

So, she got the bug for teaching naturally, she said. Her bio-chemistry professor also noticed her skills and recommended Allen-Atkinson enroll in the education department of the university to become a teacher, and she did. When she interviewed for a position in USD 475, she was interviewed by 13 different principals and was selected to teach at Westwood. Allen-Atkinson believes it is important to teach all children, no matter their family or cultural backgrounds. She teaches her students to value order, paying attention in class, having respect for themselves, respect for others and their environment. We all make choices and with those choices come consequences, she said. Allen-Atkinson believes in talking through situations when her students are not meeting expectations. She tells them when someone disrupts the learning environment, someone is not learning and she is about learning in her classroom. She shared the story told from one of her students parents: I used to think I was high on my childs list (when it came to the child seeking advice or information), but it is what you say that matters to my child, she said. Allen-Atkinson has taught for 30 years and is a National Board Certified Teacher, and serves on the Kansas Association of Teachers of English and the State Board of the National Board of Certified Teachers. She plans to retire in May 2016. Next weeks program will be presented by Margaret Kilpatrick, a teacher at Junction City Middle School. She will share her experiences in USD 475.

Alex introduced Mark Karman, the Junction CityGeary County Building and Codes Administrator. He is a native and has been employed by the city for 19 years. Blight seems to be his biggest challenge right now with 520 blight letters sent out already this year (thats like a month and a half folks) and has about 50 cars waiting to be towed once the weather clears. They have already towed 24 this year. He explained that blight can be any public nuisance, like cars too inoperable, grass too high, trees too low and snow too deep. The city had 118 singlefamily permits in 2012 and 43 in 2013. This has eased his workload but now his duties have expanded to include the blight and sign ordinances. His territory includes not only JC but all of Geary County on the code inspection and enforcement side. Snow has been a challenge recently and he said property owners are required to clean their sidewalk. However, they are researching just how to issue tickets. He also said that your snow must be discarded on your property and off sidewalks. In response to a question about the citys responsibility to clear alleys, the short answer is yes. After all the other main roads, side roads, semi side roads, and cul-de-sacs and parking lots are completely done. they should. But normally the snow is gone by then.

The Walla Walla EEU met on a chilly day in February, with Karen Baldwin, president, opening the meeting with a saying, Seven days of inspiration. Take care of one day at a time, and you will feel good all week. Minutes were read by Kathryn Rogers, after which roll call was answered by sharing a special Valentine memory, which was quite entertaining.

Councilmember Jackie Breeze reported our barn tour and lunch at the Hayes House might be changed to May 29, instead of May 28, depending on what day our presenter will be available. Also, the Fall Festival will be on making tote bags out of plastic bags. There was a discussion on material for our stuffed animals at the hospital. It was decided if we have flannel pieces at home or get it on sale, we should take advantage of it. The club voted to donate money to the 4-H fundraiser on March 29, which is a worthwhile project. Margaret Hildebrand asked for Ag Day volunteers on May 2. We are pleased to say, of our nine members, seven volunteered. We will all be bringing items for the Crisis Center next month. It was mentioned coloring books would be nice for the children. Margaret gave a most interesting and informative lesson on A Presidents Day Presentation. Abraham Lincoln, who was born in 1809 and would be celebrating his 205th birthday this year, was our 16th president. He came from a humble beginning. His family lived on the land. When living in Illinois, he was elected president, and was such for five years, until he was assassinated. He was honest, communicated with others, and was a hard worker. He enjoyed reading, especially the Bible. George Washington was the first president who did not represent a political party. Margaret presented a fact about our first 43 presidents. It was most informative. Kansas Tidbits were given by Katheryn on Joe Monaham and his interesting life. The hostess prize was won by Katheryn. Karen closed the meeting by reading, Dress with a sunny twist. Dress with yellow, and it will brighten your day. Our host, Barb Armstrong, served a lovely lunch.

Milford to be included in Metropolitan Planning Commission

B Y C HASE JORDAN

FROM PAGE ONE/NEWS

c.jordan@thedailyunion.net
Geary County and Junction City officials approved a revised local interlocal agreement, which now includes Milford. The interlocal agreement, which forms the Metropolitan Planning Commission, provides building code enforcement between Junction City, Geary County and Milford. To date no one has expressed disagreement about how things are set up and arranged, Commission Chair Larry Hicks said. Its something that was long overdue. It was reorganized in 2009 and only covered Junction City and Geary County. An offer was extended to Milford and Grandview Plaza, but both cities declined. In 2013, Milford decided to join the organization, and that decision was officially approved Jan. 30 during their city council meeting. Weve kicked this can around a lot, said David Yearout, Director of Planning and Zoning. The plan also includes involvement in planning

The plan also includes involvement in planning commission meetings and allows them to utilize the services of inspection officers. Milford will have to make ordinances for their city to fully implement action desired by the community.

The agreement will be sent to the Attorney General for final approval. Next, Milford will select a representative to sit on the Metropolitan Planning Commission. Code enforcement steps will begin soon and the new agreement will not require any funding from Geary County or Junction City. Milford is contributing $1,200 for their involvement. is an issue of qualifications. The other bidders, Smith added, didnt specify a business plan, only a rate analysis. The business plan is whats going to help Junction City pay for the projects. Though reasonable water and sewer rate increases are likely, McCaffery said, the city will need other funding options, too. Were truly not looking at substantial rate increases, McCaffery said, adding the city is looking for Raftelis to get creative. Raftelis has a track record of working with communities both similar in size and larger than Junction City. The firm has offices across the nation. In Kansas, it has completed similar studies for Wichita this Anderson, 25, of Manhattan, was arrested and charged with first degree murder, aggravated kidnapping and conspiracy.

February snowstorm costs county more than $75K

B Y C HASE JORDAN

c.jordan@thedailyunion.net
Due to higher temperatures, the abundance of snow is disappearing. Through the work of local road crews, much of it left the streets before temperatures rose. But it was not cheap. The Geary County Public Works Department spent more than $76,000 and a total of 825 man hours clearing roads after the snowstorm stuck the

area two weeks ago. A lot of folks tend not to know or believe these efforts are extremely costly whenever the county incurs any type of inclement weather conditions, Commissioner Larry Hicks said. Taxpayers need to know exactly what their dollars are going towards. The work of the employees began Feb. 4 and continued through Feb. 7. Its road and bridge division maintains 125 miles of asphalt roadway and 255 miles of rock roadway.

Administrator Dennis Cox said it was a routine storm, but wind was the biggest factor. The wind was really worse for us in the rural areas, Cox said. That interfered with our snow removal process quite a bit. Cox said it was also costly. The storm was during the work week, which helped to limit the amount of overtime, Cox said. Money for the removal came out of the countys

road and bridge fund. Were fortunate that we have not had a lot to date, Hicks said about storms. Weve had an ample supply of salt to meet the needs required to treat the roads in Geary County. Cox said officials usually budget and prepare for weather-related events throughout the year. According to the county, 800 tons of a salt/sand mixture were used to treat roads. The total cost of salt was more than $18,000.

base selection process to review the received proposals. Under that process, a selection committee of department heads reviewed the qualifications of three submissions, ranking each firm on its ability to address the overall scope of work and services. The firms then were ranked again based on costs. Our intent was to review applications of firms and then find the most qualified firm first, McCaffery said. City officials didnt focus primarily on cost when reviewing proposals, though, Smith said. This is not an issue of bottom line, he said. This

and Topeka. Id rather be hiring someone who has experience working with larger systems, Commissioner Mike Ryan said. However, the decision didnt come without concerns over price raised from the commission. Commissioners Jim Sands and Mick McCallister voted against approving the contract. Sands said he had trouble picking Raftelis because it was by far the most expensive of the bidders by more than $21,000. The lowest bid was almost $16,000. That firm also is a one-man operation, according to McCaffery. Its just hard for me to spend that much money, Sands said. But both Smith and ing the case, and anyone with information is asked to call the Junction City Police Department at (785) 762-5912, or Crime Stoppers at (785) 762-TIPS (8477). Tips may be anonymous and could be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.

McCaffery noted Raftelis was the only proposal that met the citys desired qualifications. Commissioner Pat Landes agreed with their recommendation. You dont want your family doctor performing a heart surgery, he said. The timetable moving forward will be aggressive, McCaffery said, with the rate study and business plan hopefully prepared by April. The amount of time

likely played a factor in why more bids werent received, he said. McCallister said he was concerned the time factor may have influenced more than just the amount of bids received. I guess my only hangup is this aggressive timetable may have cost us $10,000 to $15,000, he said. City staff and consultants, including HDR, felt the timetable was realistic

and were comfortable recommending Raftelis. We felt we did our work, McCaffery said. We feel that were giving you an honest, probably the best recommendation. Once the analysis and plan are complete, theyll be brought back to the commission for review. Theyll give us a list of options that we can pick and choose from that will work for us, Smith said.

He projected that the city would grow to more than 2,000 residents in the near future. Along with the expansion, other suggestions included working with Junction City longterm on wastewater or building a wastewater treatment plant, which would cost more than $2 million. Porter said an expansion project could include several stages and could involve grant funding to assist the city. The city has about eight months to begin looking at the process.

Bunbury was the fourth overall pick in the 2010 draft and has scored 21 goals with seven assists in 94 MLS games. Bunbury tore his ACL two years ago and returned to the field last season, helping Sporting KC win its first MLS Cup championship since 2000. The 23-year-old Bunbury also has made four appearances with the U.S. mens national team. Sporting KC now has two first-round picks in next years draft. The allocation money can be used to sign players new to MLS, re-signing an existing MLS player or buy down a players salary budget charge below the league maximum of $368,750.

MANHATTAN After enduring a defensive slugfest in the first meeting between the Junction City boys basketball team and Manhattan, Blue Jays coach Pat Battle expected the second contest to be different. But he didnt expect Manhattan to light up the scoreboard quite the way it did. The Indians scored 29 points in the first quarter before sending the Blue Jays traveling back home following a 94-65 defeat.

NCAA Basketball

Indiana University officials say an inspection of the Assembly Hall roof revealed more loose steel plates on the ceiling but no imminent danger of them falling. One day after the Hoosiers postponed a mens basketball game against No. 15 Iowa because an eight-foot, 50-pound steel plate fell into some empty seats, athletic director Fred Glass said workers were trying to determine whether those plates were structurally necessary. If not, they will likely be removed. The inspection, Glass said, confirmed that melting snow and ice from the harsh winter caused the plate to pop off Tuesday. School officials then cordoned off the buildings four corners. But Wednesday nights womens game was still expected to be played. Glass also said that the school was trying to reschedule the Iowa game.

We had to speed up the game, which wasnt exactly what we wanted to do, Battle said. There were too many possessions in this game. Falling behind early hurt us, we just have to pick it up and be better.

TCU (9-16, 0-13) away with a 65-53 win. Weber said the stretch of three emotional games against Texas, Kansas and Baylor made it hard for his team to come out firing. No matter what we say, were probably not going to come out with great emotion and focus, he said. I think one of the worst things to happen was the 11-2 (start) because even if there was some fear I put into them, now its 11-2 and then we just went real flat. Not even the spectacular could ignite K-State. With just under five minutes left in the first half, senior Will Spradling poked the ball loose. It bounced toward the boundary near midcourt. Spradling grabbed the ball before it crossed out of bounds and threw it back over his shoulder toward midcourt, where freshman Marcus Foster caught it mid-stride and raced the rest of the way, Please see Wildcats, 2B

LUBBOCK, Texas Kansas coach Bill Self felt more than a little fortunate that his No. 8 Jayhawks pulled out a 64-63 win against a very tough Texas Tech team. Andrew Wiggins layup with 2 seconds left lifted Kansas to victory on Tuesday night. I think sometimes you could say they were a little lucky, he said of the Red Raiders. They threw some in at the end of the shot clock that maybe werent the highest percentage shots, and we were a little lucky that the ball just happened to bounce to Wigs there at the end. Thats part of it. Please see KU, 2B

Weve been unlucky and weve been lucky before, and they usually balance out over time. The freshman finished with 19 points, and Joel Embiid matched his career high with 18 to lead the Jayhawks (20-6, 11-2). Kansas reached 20 wins for the 25th consecutive season, and 11 conference victories for the 20th straight year. Texas Techs Robert Turner sank two free throws with 16 seconds left to put the Red Raiders up 63-62, but Kansas brought the ball up and got it inside to Wiggins for the win. Jordan Tolbert scored 16 points and Dejan Kravic added 13 to lead Texas Tech (13-13, 5-8). The Jayhawks own a two-game lead in the Big 12 after Texas fell 85-76 at Iowa State on Tuesday night. Its big, its big, but it doesnt mean anything unless we win Saturday, Self said of Kansas home game against the Longhorns. Thats the game that would give us some serious breathing room, although weve got a little bit now, and it was big tonight. I wasnt banking on them losing, all I wanted to do was win two games this week, and if we were able to do that then it would be a great week. The score was tied nine times and the lead changed 13 times. I was impressed with Tubby (Smiths) team and how hard they played and how well they defended, how well they rebounded, Self said. Theyre going to get better. The guy knows how to win. Hes a proven winner. Those kids played hard. Kansas held an early 10-point lead but Texas Tech started hammering the ball inside to make the game tight. There wasnt much to say, Smith said of his team. Theyre down, theyre despondent because its a tough loss. They felt like they played well enough to get the win, but youve always have to finish the game the right way. Tolbert made a bucket as the shot clock expired with 2:51 left to put the Red Raiders up 59-55. But Wayne Seldon, Jr. hit a clutch 3-pointer to pull within 59-58. Turner answered with a basket, and Embiid sank two free throws to make it 61-60 with 1:22 remaining. On the Red Raiders next possession, a

capping it with a one-handed slam, giving K-State a 23-18 lead. Normally, that type of hustle play capped with crowd-raising flair sparks a run. Instead, TCUs Kyan Anderson continued to hit shots and the Wildcats entered the half clinging to a one-point, 27-26 lead. (It was) not a great crowd, Weber said. You couldnt play off the crowd and we couldnt get excited when we got a run. So you have to bring your own energy, just like on the road and thats probably why we struggled on the road. Weber thought part of the inability to create energy comes from relying on

scrum led to Kansas getting the ball. Embiid dunked it to put the Jayhawks up 62-61. Turner then made his free throws, and Kansas called a timeout to draw up the play to Wiggins. Kansas scored 22 points from the free throw line, and Texas Tech netted only nine. Texas Tech came out after halftime and hit four of its first five shots. Kansas made only one basket in four attempts, allowing the Red Raiders to take their first lead since early in the game, 37-32. Jordan Tolbert capped Texas Techs 8-2 run. But the Red Raiders effective defense also created foul trouble. With more than 13 minutes remaining, Jaye Crockett, Kravic and Kader Tapsoba each had three fouls. Texas Tech sent the Jayhawks to the line often in the second half. Five free throws by Jamari Traylor and Wiggins on three possessions pulled Kansas within 46-45 with about 11 minutes remaining. But the Jayhawks regained the lead for the first time in 11 minutes, 52-51, on a pair of free throws by Naadir Tharpe with 7:14 remaining. But with Kravic back in, and after a turnover by Tharpe, the 7-foot senior tied the game at 53 on a layup with 5:34 left.

so many younger players. In the first half, Anderson torched the Wildcats for 17 of his game-high 23 points. But K-State couldnt stay in front of him. We just did a great job of helping, Spradling said. Hes a great one-onone player but the bigs did a great job of hedging and the guards did a great job of shrinking the gaps and making him give it up. K-State held a distinct size advantage down low, outrebounding the Horned Frogs 47-24. Junior forward Thomas Gipson used his strength to lead the Wildcats with 16 points. Junior Nino Williams grabbed four offensive rebounds, all in the second half, as his team finally found some breathing room. First half, our defen-

sive energy wasnt like how we played against Texas and Kansas and our intensity wasnt there, Gipson said. We were losing on our play hard chart and in the second half, we just got it together and started playing better team defense K-State heads to Norman, Okla. Saturday for a game against Oklahoma (19-7, 8-5) in a game that will impact the final conference standings. The Wildcats are 1-5 in true road games this season, with the only win coming at TCU on Jan. 7. It would be nice to get (a road win), Weber said. Obviously, the whole thing is building a resume. We have some great wins at home, some neutral wins, it would be nice to get a nice win on the road, theres no doubt.

Kansas State forward Ryan Schultz (24) dives after the ball with TCU center Karviar Shepherd (1) during the first half of the Wildcats 65-53 win Wednesday.

when one of their defenseman, Ryan McDonagh, tried to clear the puck away from the front of the crease and it went off the left skate of Ryan Suter and got past Jonathan Quick. The Czechs were not as successful scoring on their own against Quick, who started ahead of 2010 silver-medal winning goaltender Ryan Miller and had 21 saves. Ales Hemsky was credited with a goal that two Americans touched after he did. Hemsky legitimately scored his second one, skating to the slot and snapping off a wrist shot that got past Quicks blocker with 7 minutes left in the game. Brown put the U.S. up 2-1 at the 14:38 mark of the first, and David Backes made it 3-1 with 1.8 seconds in the period. Zach Parise piled on, pushing the Americans lead to 4-1 midway through the second period to chase goalie Ondrej Pavelec after he made just eight saves. He was replaced by Alexander Salak. The Americans shaped their roster with players who skate fast, hit hard, share the puck and score. It starts off the ice, Pacioretty said.

SOCHI, Russia Dustin Brown banged in a go-ahead goal late in the first period and the United States went on to dominate the Czech Republic 5-2 Wednesday, earning a spot in the Olympic hockey semifinals for the second straight time. On Friday, the U.S. will play Canada a rematch of the 2010 gold-medal game for a shot to become an Olympic champion. The Canadians held off Latvia

2-1, and they beat the Americans in overtime four years ago. Its a great opportunity, American forward Max Pacioretty said. Theyre obviously the favorite coming into the tournament, and weve opened up a lot of eyes with our play, but we have more in the tank to give and to show. We keep getting better every game and hopefully well keep getting better after this one. James van Riemsdyk gave the Americans a lead 1:39 into the game. They lost it a few minutes later

You see everyone in the room, willing to go to the dirty areas, block shots, make hits. Its nice to see when you see a guy like Patty Kane backchecking as hard as he can across the ice. It kind of puts things in perspective. The U.S. has been tested only once in a 3-2, eight-round shootout against the host Russians in the preliminary round. The Americans have crushed the

While the Czechs had to play for a second straight day because they had to beat Slovakia in the qualification round just to reach the quarterfinals, the rested Americans were ready to roll after having two days off. The U.S. seemed to take advantage of having fresh legs, beating the Czech Republic to loose pucks all night long. They had more energy, Pavelec said. Its not an excuse, its just the way it is.

Canada holds off Latvia 2-1 in thriller

B Y G RE G B EACHAM

SOCHI, Russia Canada put shots by the dozens on Kristers Gudlevskis, and Latvias kid goalie stopped nearly everything in a performance that grew from sensational to a bit supernatural. Late in the third period, Canada finally replaced all that quantity with quality. Shea Webers slap shot is widely considered the best in hockey, and it put the defending Olympic champions past the lively underdogs and into a rematch with their neighbors. Weber scored a tiebreaking powerplay goal with 6:54 to play, and Canada survived an enormous scare from Latvia to advance to the Olympic mens hockey semifinals with a 2-1 victory Wednesday night. Carey Price made 15 saves for the Canadians, who were stretched to the limit by Gudlevskis. The 21-year-old Tampa Bay Lightning prospect made 55 saves in a spectacular performance, nearly pulling off one of the biggest upsets in hockey history largely by himself. That was one of the best goaltending performances Ive ever seen, said Price, the Montreal Canadiens threetime NHL All-Star goalie. Weber unleashed his peerless slapper late in a power play, and Canada finally took the lead on its 54th shot. An entire hockey-worshipping nation exhaled, and Canada advanced to a semifinal meeting with the similarly

unbeaten United States on Friday in a rematch of the gold-medal game in Vancouver four years ago. We had a lot of chances, but we knew it was going to be tough, said Weber, who injured Latvia defenseman Oskars Bartulis with his slap shot earlier in the third. You saw how many shots we had to take. You just have to stay focused and patient and stick to what you do well. Eventually, finally, it paid off for us. One night after 11th-seeded Latvia recorded its first Olympic victory in 12 years to reach its first quarterfinals, Buffalo Sabres coach Ted Nolans team improbably tested the champs. I play for my teammates, because they play so good every game, said Gudlevskis, who has played mostly

for the Lightnings AHL affiliate in Syracuse lately. They did everything tonight and I just wanted to give them the opportunity to win this game. ... You start to believe and then you just work hard. Lauris Darzins scored a breakaway goal in the first period for Latvia, which lost all three of its preliminaryround games before surprising Switzerland 3-1 on Tuesday. The Baltic nation of 2 million people has been in the last four Olympic fields after a 66-year absence, but hadnt won a game since 2002. It doesnt matter how many shots you get, its how many go in the net, Nolan said. So to play them tough the way we did, Im extremely proud.

Last weekends goal was Johannssons team-leading 14th of the season in Eredivisie action, which ranks third in the league. It was also his 22nd goal in 35 matches in all competitions. Johannsson is relatively new to the U.S. national team. The 23-year-old was born in Alabama to Icelandic parents, but moved back to Iceland in his youth and was a member of that nations under-21 national side. He missed out on his first opportunity to play for Icelands senior national team in late 2012 because of a groin injury and last year filed to make himself eligible to compete for the United States.

Klinsmann, who wants U.S. players honing their skills in Europe, had this to say on the USSF website a few months ago, as Johannsson started making his mark as AZ Alkmaars premier scoring threat: Seeing Aron Johannsson breaking through and scoring goals at AZ Alkmaar, especially the way he scores goals, is really

Julian Green will be joining the (hash)USMNT Senior National Team training camp for two days in Frankfurt. Its too early to tell whether the decision by Green, who was previously on Germanys under-19 roster, has any significance for the U.S. World Cup squad. While Green would be unlikely to take playing time from Altidore, Johannsson and Eddie Johnson up front, he is versatile enough to slide into one of the outside midfield. GOALS ABROAD: Johannsson wasnt the only American to find the back of the net last weekend. Boyd, Sacha Kljestan and Daniel Williams also scored in European action. Boyd scored for Rapid Vienna as a late substitute in a 2-1 loss at Admira Wacker Moedling in the Austrian Bundesliga. Williams scored a 10th minute goal for Reading in a 3-1 victory over Queens Park Rangers in the English League Championship, that nations second-tier professional league. Kljestan scored for Anderlecht of the Belgian Pro League in a 2-0 triumph over Mons. He found the net with a leaping header in the 37th minute, directing the ball downward and inside the left post. He used another deft header in the 18-yard box to assist on Venezuelan Ronald Vargas 49th-minute goal.

Russian fans lament hockey teams loss

B Y L EONID C HIZHOV

Associated Press
SOCHI, Russia When it was all over, when the mighty Russian mens hockey team with the big stars and the massive expectations failed to earn a medal for the third straight Winter Olympics, thousands of their demanding fans streamed out of the shiny new arena and squinted as their eyes caught the setting sun. Many had no words to express the disappointment that came with Russias 3-1 loss to Finland on Wednesday. This was supposed be the team to end a 22-year gold medal drought and provide a hopeful nation with the defining moment of an Olympics on home turf. Instead, they were a massive flop, and the fans in attendance had difficulty reconciling the failure. For seven years we have been waiting and preparing for the Olympics and most of all we waited for the ice hockey and today it was a catastrophe and shame for Russia, said Sergey Kazakov, a 58-year-old retiree from Moscow. Alex Ovechkin. Pavel Datsyuk. Ilya Kovalchuk. Evgeni Malkin. The stars all seemed to be aligning this time around in Russia, where hockey is a national treasure and the fans yearn for the dominant days of the old Soviet Red Army teams. And they were aligning at home, in this resort town on the Black Sea, in an arena built to show off the nations hockey prowess. With all this in mind, the fans were certain that the glory days were returning. They packed the Bolshoy Ice Dome, painted their faces in the national colors and blew horns as they walked the steps into the arena to cheer on their heroes.

Kids have Trichotillomania

Dear Annie: One of our darling granddaughters started to pull out her eyelashes at around age 9. We expressed our concern to our son. Shortly after, we were told that our granddaughter was seeing a counselor to address this behavior. We were so relieved when she stopped. But about a year later, she started again. Now her 9-year-old brother is pulling hair out of his head. He has a bald spot about two inches in diameter. Our son and his wife have education degrees. The marriage and family appear OK. The kids seem happy, and they do well in school. I recently brought up the counseling to our son, but he said, We tried that. He indicated that the kids will stop on their own. Is stress causing this? How involved should we get? Right now, we feel like its the elephant in the room. Blue-Collar Grandparents Dear Grandparents: Trichotillomania is a disorder that results in compulsive hair pulling. It is currently considered to be a body-focused repetitive behavior. There also may be a genetic predisposition, which would explain why both of your grandchildren suffer from it. Sometimes stress, anxiety or fatigue can trigger the hair pulling, but not always. Doctors do not know the underlying cause but believe it may develop due to a combination of genetic, hormonal, emotional and environmental factors. Appropriate treatment involves cognitive behavioral therapy, sometimes in combination with medication, hypnosis and relaxation techniques. Your son and his wife may already be taking the necessary steps, but either way, you can get more information through the Trichotillomania Learning Center at trich.org. Dear Annie: I recently learned that a friends son died from a heart attack. He was relatively young. I was both saddened and shocked. I was more despondent that my friend and his current (third) wife did not attend his sons funeral. They live in another state, but still. It was his son. Weve been friends for more than 50 years, but it makes me realize he wouldnt bother attending my funeral, either. Annie, should I dissolve our friendship? Should I tell him how shocked and disappointed I am? Or should I simply over-

look it? Sensitive, Caring Person Dear Sensitive: While not attending his sons funeral seems callous, is it possible that your friend has health issues that prevented him from traveling? Might he and his son have been estranged and his presence at the funeral unwelcome? You can let him know that you were surprised he didnt attend the funeral, but he is under no obligation to satisfy your curiosity. Limiting the friendship because you believe he no longer cares enough about you is a legitimate concern, but cutting off a 50-year friendship because he might not attend your funeral is excessive. How your friend treats you while you are alive is what counts Dear Annie: This is in response to those individuals who invite family, friends and neighbors to their home for dinner and then feel slighted because the invitation is not reciprocated. Many years ago, when invited to someones home, I did return the invitation. But it always made me nervous to entertain. Id lose sleep, worry about what to serve, wonder whether Id have enough food or whether my dinner would turn out well. I finally decided that it just was not worth the anxiety to keep having people over. I will occasionally host an informal gathering at my home, nothing fancy. Thank goodness I have friends who know that entertaining makes me anxious. They still invite me to their homes and ask me to bring a salad, a dessert or a bottle of wine. Some of us just arent meant to host parties. Im Not

ARIES (March 21April 19). The person who has the best ideas isnt necessarily the one who should be in charge. Leadership and creativity are two different strengths something to consider as you assemble your team. TAURUS (April 20May 20). Rarely do the circumstances of a project coalesce in a manner as serendipitous as todays events. As you recognize the element of magic at work here, you will attract more of it. GEMINI (May 21June 21). You find a certain persons proximity to be agreeable. That doesnt mean youre in love, and it doesnt mean youre not. For now, youre willing to enjoy the relationship without labels. CANCER (June 22July 22). The powerful effects of habit will save the day, keeping you on the straight and narrow, doing the things that are good for your health, work, relationships and life. LEO (July 23Aug. 22). Youll find other peoples opinions interesting, although you are not likely to agree with many of them. Because youre willing to listen to many points of view, youll come up with better solutions. VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22). Belly up to the banquet! Lifes offerings are all-youcan-eat style today. Therefore, if youre hungry, youre in for a treat. But self-governing will be necessary to avoid overindulgence. LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 23). With something time consuming now behind you, you may wonder what to do next. Pick a goal, any goal. Every goal comes with an automatic guidance system. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Makeovers and do-overs are favored today, and both will happen with a minimal amount of effort. Tonight, those who say they dont care usually care the most. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). An unusual circumstance is indicated. A battle can be won before it is even fought. Think your way through this. Theres a way to succeed with minimal sacrifice on both sides. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Youre in tune with everyone, not just the popular and powerful people. Theres someone the others are discounting. Listen carefully to what he or she has to say, and take the message seriously. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). The old saying goes that the apple doesnt fall far from the tree. These days, many apples dont want to leave the tree at all, a trend that will affect you in one way or another. PISCES (Feb. 19March 20). Recognize the limits of the people youre dealing with. Fairweather friends are still friends. They are best enjoyed for what they can do. Problems only come if you expect more from them.

out of sync, not focused from the first drive. But Junction City didnt lie down. The aggressive play, attacking the Manhattan ballhandlers as they attempted to bring the ball up the court, proved especially effective. Senior JaMale Morrow routinely punched the ball loose in the back court, giving the Blue Jays another chance as they closed the gap to eight-points, 42-34 at halftime. He plays so hard, Battle said. JaMale just plays so hard. Thats the number one thing, you can have all the talent in the world but effort always trumps talent when talent doesnt work hard. At the outset of the third quarter, senior Jonathan Wilds delivered a crisp bounce pass on a fast break to Johnson for a bucket. Then, after Wilds forced a turnover, Johnson grabbed an offensive rebound and put it back to bring the Blue Jays within four, 42-38. But that was as close as Junction City would get. Manhattan stretched the lead first to double-digits and then it kept growing. They just knocked down shots and we turned the ball over too much, Wilds said.

ing it 33-7 and splitting up the Indians daunting run. But outside of that, the Blue Jays couldnt get anything going. We started trying to run offense without running our plays and it got us in a lot of trouble and a lot of turnovers, Kamm said. Junction City struggled to get open looks near the basket and instead was forced to settle for longer jump shots. But the Jays couldnt sink them. Parks said Manhattans softer man defense, which collapses on the basket, made second-chance opportunities nearly impossible to come by. When any teams not knocking down shots and all youre getting is one shot and theyre going the other way, thats going to hurt quite a bit and thats what they did to us, he said. We had no confidence to knock down a shot and no one to grab the offensive rebound. In the third quarter, Rains hit another

trey and Kamm found the twine again, but it wasnt enough to keep pace with the Indians. Rains finished with nine points and Kamm scored eight in the contest. Junction City had its best offensive output in the fourth but still could not post a double-digit quarter. Senior Bre Waterman and freshman Darja Russel each scored a basket in the final period. Parks believes his team could learn something from how Manhattan plays. That team is disciplined, but its definitely not the best team in state, he said. But they believe they are and thats what its all about. If you have the confidence and you believe youre the best, a lot of times thats going to help. Junction City falls to 3-14 on the season. The Blue Jays travel to Topeka High Friday. Its Manhattan, so its always a little more of a slap in the face. I think it showed us we need to put in extra time out of season to keep up in the Centennial League.

We didnt play good defense all game, thats why the score was the way it was. Wilds led Junction City with 17 points and Johnson scored 16 in the contest. Junior Jordan Lawrence scored seven points and guards Danny Thornton and Tanner Lueker each scored six points. But the pace was just too fast for Junction City, which is more comfortable in halfcourt contests. Everyone just has to pitch in, Wilds said. I cant make somebody want it, coach cant make somebody want it. Everyone on the team just has to come on board. Junction City (5-11) travels to Topeka High Friday. Morrow said the effort was there, but the players werent focused enough in the practices leading up to the game. I think we took the game lightly, he said. Yeah, its a really big game for us, but Monday, it was probably one of our worst practices of the year. We couldve done a lot better.

Celebrating Those Who Broke the Barriers
A tradition that dates back to the mid-1920s, Black History Month was started nearly 90 years ago by an academic named Dr. Carter G. Woodson. In his studies, Dr. Woodson realized the glaring lack of black history in textbooks. When blacks were mentioned, it was frequently only in passing or in explaining individual examples of infamy. What Black History Month has grown into today is an American celebration of a storied history, one that is littered with an influential and, in many cases, world-altering cast. In celebration of Black History Month, here is a list of trailblazing African-Americans, each of whom broke down a barrier and made what was once only a dream into a reality for many African-Americans. John Mercer Langston. Langston was the first black elected official in the United States. Though Langston was the son of a white plantation owner and a former slave, he is still considered to be the first black elected official, having been elected as the town clerk in Brownhelm Township, Ohio, in 1855. That was not the lone office Langston would hold, as he was later appointed inspector general of the Freedmens Bureau and a U.S. minister to Haiti. Carl Stokes. Elected to the office of mayor of Cleveland in 1967, Stokes became the first black mayor of a major city. While Robert C. Henry actually was the first African-American mayor in the U.S., Henry was appointed mayor of Springfield, Ohio, a few months before Stokes was elected in Cleveland. After serving two terms as mayor, Stokes eventually moved to New York City, where he blazed yet another trail, becoming the first black anchorman in that citys history when he began working for WNBC-TV. Joseph Rainey. Born in Georgetown, South Carolina, Rainey was the first African-American elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. The son of slaves, Rainey escaped to the West Indies in 1862 shortly after being drafted into the Confederate army. Rainey returned to South Carolina once the war had ended and, in 1871, was elected to the House as a Republican. Robert C. Weaver. In 1966, Weaver became the first African-American to hold a cabinet post when he was appointed Secretary of the Department of Urban Housing and Development (HUD) by then-President Lyndon John701 West Sixth son. In 2000, three years after his death, Weaver was Junction City 120 N. East St. honored when the HUD headquarters was renamed the (785)238-3742 762-4200 Robert C. Weaver Federal Building.
