Emergency officials are taking steps toward improving surveillance at Geary Countys courthouse and office building. Geary County Sheriff Tony Wolf said Monday the department is submitting bid estimates to three companies for the installation of a camera system. The companies are from Junction City, Manhattan and Salina. Its really hard to locate places like this for commercial things, Wolf said. Most of them do residential properties. Wolf expects the offers to be competitive in the coming days ahead. T ONY The process was W OLF sparked as a result of a bill allowing people with conceal-andcarry permits to carry guns into public buildings, if security plans are not in place. After deliberations with local officials, security at the courthouse now includes armed guards and metal detectors. All no guns allowed signs were removed Jan. 1. In addition to the security and camera discussion, Human Resources Director Lisa Eickholt discussed the gun policy and county employees. Please see GCSD, 8A

how to work with military vehicles in the event of an accident. We have military vehicles and the knowledge on how to do extrication with them, said Sgt. Daniel Cummins, health care noncommissioned officer, DHHB, 1st Inf. Div., who led the demonstration last week in the DHHB motor pool. The fire department doesnt have an opportunity to be able to do this all the time, so we set up some training going around some of the different types of military vehicles, getting some hands-on refresher training, so that if anything ever happens out on the tank trails or with one of the military vehicles, they have a good idea of how to do things, so we can get people taken care of. Firefighters present received a
rundown on the major differences between civilian and military vehicles and how to quickly enter humvees and Light Medium Tactical Vehicles. Cummins said vehicles like these present a unique problem because of their combat locks. With the military vehicles, its a lot harder to get in if you dont know what youre doing, Cummins said. With the combat locks, if you dont have the right tools, it can take up to 10, 15 minutes, to reach trapped or injured soldiers. The health care NCO said the firefighters were excited to work with the military vehicles. Just something new, something different, he said. Please see Training, 8A

leaders, Capt. Kenneth OReilly, commander, Co. A, 1st Bn. 28th Inf. Regt., coordinated with Whalen and six other master resiliency trainer and performance experts at the CSF2 to develop a program to enhance his leaders abilities through a series of practical exercises, obstacle courses, team building and critical-thinking tasks that can be implemented and shared before the unit conducts movement to the Joint Readiness Training Center, Fort Polk, La., in the near future. For four days, the leaders had the opportunity to learn vital practices to help them get in the positive mindset to approach situations as challenges, instead of threats. Research shows by adopting this mindset, one can build confidence and maintain the necessary persistence to overcome situations. Another factor of the class was attention control. The techniques taught during that portion of the class were used during the obstacle course and practicalexercise session. The leadership conducted a series of calisthenics and completed puzzles, muscle control and focus-driven scenarios. One of the scenarios was trying to thread a needle after completing 10 pullups. You have to concentrate on your breathing, which will steady your hand and help you thread the needle, said Sgt. Kyle Davis, infantryman and school noncommissioned officer, Co. A, 1st Bn. 28th Inf. Regt. The more and more you do resiliency training, you find more ways to improve things you have already been doing, said Davis, who also is a master resiliency trainer. They all give you different ways to think about things and different approaches through critical thinking to help develop a better plan, whether its (physical training) or developing an (operational order).

Weather summary for January was 6 below zero on the Jan. 5-6. There were no temperature records set or tied during the month. This was noticeably colder than January of 2013, when we had a monthly mean temperature of 32.2. The warmest January on record was in 2006 when we had an incredibly warm monthly mean temperature of 43.9.
The coldest January on record was in 1979 when we had a bone chilling average temperature for the month of only 12.9. January is traditionally our driest month of the year and January 2014 held true to that statistic. While we had slightly above-normal snowfall, 4.8 inches 4.7 is the long term average the liquid precipitation totals just didnt follow suit. Normal precipitation for January is only 0.65 inches. Junction City recorded 0.29 inches and Milford Lake tallied 0.33 inches of liquid precipitation. The 4.8 inches of snow brought the seasonal snow-
fall total (since Oct. 1) up to 13.8 inches. Normal through January is 9.4 inches. The average annual snowfall is 18 inches. The snowiest January was in 1979, also our coldest January, when 18.6 inches was recorded nearby in Manhattan. The wettest January (liquid precipitation) was in 1949 when 4.28 inches were recorded. The driest January was in 1986 when no precipitation was recorded for the month. February is our shortest month of the year but also starts to give us a glimmer of spring.
Average daytime highs start the month at 39 and by the end of the month rise to nearly 50. Overnight lows start the month around 17 degrees and rise to 26 by months end. January and December are our two driest months of the year and February isnt much better at only 1.12 inches of precipitation expected. February is tied with January for our snowiest month of the year. Normal February snowfall is 4.7 inches. Those two months normally account for half of our average seasonal snow.

State University climatologist, who has been a regular commentator at Farm Profit conferences for at least a half-dozen years, was introduced by longtime 580 Farm Director Kelly Lenz, coordinator and moderator of the program.

In her opening remarks, Knapp clarified the difference in a weatherman and a climatologist. A weather forecaster is often also a meteorologist who is a specialist studying processes in the earths atmosphere that cause weather conditions, she said. They apply the application of science and technology to predict the state of the atmosphere for a given location. Climatologists study climate change, climate variability, and the effects of climate on the biosphere, basing longtime weather outlooks on history, Knapp said. It sometimes gets blurry, the difference, but
Im a climatologist, she said. We have been having hotter and drier conditions than normal during the past several summers, so neutral is positive, Knapp said in justifying her neutral summer outlook. It could be wetter and cooler. With an in-depth colored slide presentation, Knapp informed the farm crowd of what the weather has been, is and might be during the next several
weeks and months. Statewide temperatures last year were about normal, with the western third of Kansas warmer than normal. But, precipitation was again especially low in the western fifth of the state, ranging from 10 to 14 inches total in the far western tier of counties. However, eastern Kansas had precipitation averaging from 32 inches to 61 inches in far southeast Kansas, Knapp said.

attacks against them that would use improvised explosive devices. The officials said the suspected terrorist is wellguarded and in a fairly remote location, so any unilateral attempt by U.S. troops to capture him would be risky and even more politically explosive than a U.S. missile strike. White House press secretary Jay Carney said Monday he would not comment on specific operations and pointed to Obamas comments in the major counterterrorism speech last May about drone policy. When a U.S. citizen goes abroad to wage war against America and is actively plotting to kill U.S. citizens, and when neither the United States, nor our partners are in a position to capture him before he carries out a plot, his citizenship should no more serve as a shield than a sniper shooting down on an innocent crowd should be protected from a SWAT team, Carney said, quoting from Obamas speech last year. Under new guidelines Obama addressed in the speech made to calm anger overseas at the extent of the U.S. drone campaign, lethal force must only be used to prevent or stop attacks against U.S. persons, and even then, only when capture is not feasible

and no other reasonable alternatives exist to address the threat effectively. The target must also pose a continuing, imminent threat to U.S. persons the legal definition of catching someone in the act of plotting a lethal attack. The Associated Press has agreed to the governments request to withhold the name of the country where the suspected terrorist is believed to be because officials said publishing it could interrupt ongoing counterterror operations. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the classified drone targeting program publicly. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich., complained last week that a number of terrorist suspects were all but out of reach under the administrations new rules that limit drone strikes based on the targets nationality or location. Two of the U.S. officials said the Justice Department review of the American suspected terrorist started last fall.

The following editorial appeared in the Dallas Morning News on Friday, Feb. 7
he news from Capitol Hill on Thursday was sobering: House Speaker John Boehner threw cold water on hopes for immigration reform this year. But those who long for smart bipartisanship in Washington need not despair. There is still the Smarter Sentencing Act. The bill, which cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, would cut minimum sentences in half for many drug offenses. And, important, it would make the reduced crack sentences passed in 2010 retroactive, allowing for the release of thousands now languishing in federal prison under outdated, racially unjust guidelines. This is not just about fairness. The mandatoryminimum laws passed in the 1980s, at the height of the crack epidemic, are having serious economic consequences today. The federal inmate population has grown eightfold since 1980 to 218,000 today; half are drug offenders. Federal prisons consume about a quarter of the Justice Department budget. That dual sense of moral obligation and fiscal responsibility is why the Smarter Sentencing Act has such an ideologically diverse base of support. It was introduced last summer by an unlikely pair (always a good sign): tea party stalwart Mike Lee, R-Utah, and liberal Dick Durbin, D-Ill. A disparate group of senators are supporting it, including Republicans Rand Paul and Ted Cruz and Democrats Patrick Leahy and Carl Levin. The bill is one of several sentencing and prison reforms that could reverse the upward trend in federal incarcerations. In December, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, introduced the Federal Prison Reform Act, which aims to increase efficiencies in prisons and reduce recidivism. Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., and Rob Portman, R-Ohio, have proposed a bill aimed at reducing recidivism, And Reps. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, and Bobby Scott, D-Va., are co-sponsoring the House version of the Smarter Sentencing Act. Note the commingling of Ds and Rs in these lists. The return of bipartisanship in the name of common-sense reform is both welcome and overdue.
Legislature looking at gay marriage bill ... but not what you think G
ay marriage opponents some churches and apparently wedding cake bakers have stirred one of the strangest bills that Kansas legislators have dealt with in years. The issue is relatively simple. Gay marriage is not recognized in Kansas, even if the couple has gone to a state that allows gay marriage, wed, and returned to Kansas. When that couple returns to Kansas to live and work, and presumably do that consumption spending that will balance the state budget, they wont necessarily get the same government services that boy/ girl married couples get under terms of the bill. Now, if a private firm doesnt want to deal with same-sex married couples sell them those wedding, or probably more accurately, anniversary party cakes thats one thing. But if an employee of a governmental entity thats the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of state government, and any and all agencies, boards, commissions, departments, districts, authorities, or other entities, subdivisions or parts whatsoever of state and local government doesnt care to deal with gay married couples for whatever reason, thats something else.
MARTIN HAWVER
Commentary Key to the bill that the House is considering is that gay marrieds cant sue the government or its agents for discrimination. Theres no state law, apparently only an ordinance in Lawrence, of course, that prohibits discrimination against gays single or married which would give rise to lawsuits for discrimination. So, cakes aside, it really appears to come down to the simple issue that Kansas doesnt recognize gay marriage, and isnt likely to unless or until the states constitutional prohibition of gay marriage is repealed or overridden by the U.S. Supreme Court. Thats the landscape. The bill says that if a government employee, who has sincere religious or other convictions against gay marriage, refuses to perform his/her job if it involves dealing with gay marrieds, the agency is supposed to find someone
in the agency who will, as long as it doesnt cause undue hardship. Governmental agencies, of course, cant ask employees religion or whether they have convictions that would prevent them from doing the job they were hired for if it involves dealing with gay marriage, domestic partnership, civil union or similar arrangements. And we doubt whether a governmental employer can require those workers to wear a tag or maybe just one of those colorful plastic wrist bracelets so gay marrieds can move to the next window to pay their property taxes without a fuss. Wonder what happens if the manager of a governmental agency has those sincerely held convictions? Hmmm ... Now, this isnt going to come up a lot, we presume. But when it does, well, could it be impossible in some places for gay marrieds to get their dog licensed or the water turned on at their home?

To the Editor:
he term transparency, when used in the same sentence with the term government, usually involves some degree of opaqueness or murkiness. Rarely does it ever involve a truly clear picture. Even when some level of clarity occurs, the governments tendency is to return to the norm, which is everything but clarity. Two city administrations back from our current city management team, discrepancies were identified between what had been posted in two budget reports and official statements made about how monies were spent, and city employees supported, on the opera house (our jewel on the prairie). When the anomalies were pointed out, the city manager moved the opera house line item from an enterprise fund to the general fund. That budget adjustment makes it very difficult to track the actual costs to operate that venue by the taxpayer. One city administration back the financial chaos left by the previous administration was straightened out, efforts were made to create a city website and it was announced that transparency was in effect. It was not perfect, but was a big step forward for citizens to see how the city was spending their money. (However, the opera house was still hiding in the general fund. Transparency is, after all, a relative term.) I recently looked at the finance portion of the citys website. It seems some spreadsheets are missing data, some have data posted but with reduced information and some not even posted at all. The 2011 Monthly Budget Report does not contain any financial data for December. The 2012 Monthly Budget Report and 2013s Monthly Budget Report are not posted. Line item #17 (Rolling Meadows Golf Fund Financial Summary) appears to have gone missing since January 2012. The municipal airport does not have a fund financial summary either. In short, the finance section of the website seems to have become less useful when someone looks for information. One cannot speak intelligently to a potential problem if the collection of information becomes elusive or expensive to acquire and difficult to interpret. Could it be that we are observing the natural drift back to the norm in action? Standard government checklist: 1.) Refill the smoke generator; 2.) Adjust mirrors one degree to the left or right.
o you like to cook? Throw dinner parties? Many people enjoy that, but paying for the food, plus accessories, is expensive. Would you host more often if you could get your guests to cover the costs? Or suppose youd like to go to a dinner party to meet new people in your neighborhood. Or maybe when you travel, instead of eating at restaurants, youd like to see how the locals live. Good news! Today both cooks and diners can get what they want. A new Internet business brings them together. Bad news: Bureaucrats and the media worry that the dinner parties are not regulated. Heres how the business works. On the website EatWith.com, people who want to throw parties post pictures of their homes and the kinds of things they like to cook. I really reminisce back to the days when friends would get together for a dinner party and then, maybe meet new friends, said a hostess who let us watch one of her events. Magical things happen around the table when you sit people with food and alcohol ... Eight people were eager to try her hospitality. Each chipped in $39 (other hosts charge as little as $23 for a simple pizza gathering or as much as $150 for an elegant dinner with wine). All her guests said they had a wonderful time. Some exchanged phone numbers with new friends.
EatWith.com founder Guy Michlin got the idea for this business after an experience he had on a trip to Greece. After many tourist traps, I happened to be invited to a local family. It was such a profound and amazing experience. And when Im back home, I said, OK, lets share this moment with millions around the world. And just build this platform called EatWith. Now, Michlin takes a 15 percent cut of the cost of every dinner party. What makes such businesses work is the power of reputation. Guests use the EatWith platform to rate homes and cooks. Hosts can decline guests if they dont feel comfortable with their profiles. Government, always slow on the uptake, barely knows services like this exist. But when it finds out, odds are it will panic and regulate them. Fools in my profession will encourage that. WCBS-TV in New York, the TV station that gave me my first consumer-reporting job, aired a breathless report on underground dinner parties with ominous narration about strangers and a meal that was completely unregulated! Oh, my goodness. Completely unregulated. Strangers in a home. The TV investigators brought in a hidden camera! Like this was a crime? Restaurants are regulated, say the nannies. Caterers, too. True. But most of the regulation is useless. Its the need to maintain ones reputation that does most to keep us safe especially today, with instant feedback from the Internet. No clumsy
government regulation is needed. Government (so far) doesnt micromanage private dinner parties. Charging a fee shouldnt make a difference. EatWith guests dont just count on reviews for their safety. The website vets each host in hopes of excluding any who might embarrass the company. Businesses like EatWith protect their investments by buying insurance in case someone sues. In fact, the precautions encouraged or dictated by insurance companies are usually more rational than the ones cobbled together by the political bureaucracy because private insurance companies really have to avoid losing money. They set rational rules that encourage clean kitchens and proper food handling. The main reason businesses must do things well is to maintain their reputations. The hope of repeat business for EatWith and for hosts using it means its important to be hospitable and crucial not to poison your guests. Word gets out if you poison the guests. EatWith continues to grow. Prospective hosts from more than a hundred companies have applied for listings. Its a new and terrific part of whats called the sharing economy. Government pretends it must have a place at the table, but free people ought to be able to eat without government permission.

Dear Annie: A few years ago, my wife went out of town for a conference. A month after she returned, I was on our computer and noticed that she hadnt logged out of her email. My curiosity got the best of me, and I saw that she had traded emails with an old boyfriend. I then discovered that the two of them had met while she was at the conference. One of her last emails to him said, I still have feelings for you. On the advice of a marriage counselor, I was direct with her about it. She claimed nothing happened and that they only met for dinner and said she would never contact him again. She also was angry that I had invaded her privacy. Last year, my wife and I hit a rough patch. I got suspicious of her behavior and checked her cellphone. I saw that she had exchanged multiple texts with this same guy. Again, she claims nothing happened, the texts were innocent and I had no right to snoop. My wife knows the password to my email, and I never lock my cellphone. All of my communication is an open book. Meanwhile, she now locks her phone and has multiple email accounts. I understand the need for a little privacy, but I dont believe you should be hiding things in a committed relationship. My wife is angry that I dont trust her, and Im having trouble dealing with this. Any advice? Broken Up Dear Broken: We dont trust your wife, either. She promised not to contact this man again and then did so and hid it from you. She locks her phone and has multiple email accounts to which you apparently do not have the passwords. Worse, to deflect blame, she accuses you of snooping. There may not have been a sexual affair, but it definitely sounds like an emotional attachment. Please go back to your counselor and ask your wife to come with you. The two of you need a refresher course on how to make your marriage work and regain trust. Dear Annie: I own a small casual restaurant in a small town. People order at the counter and then take their food to a table to eat. In the past couple of years, Ive noticed more people bringing in food from other establishments and eating at our place.

Horoscope
ARIES (March 21April 19). Youre not afraid of working hard. Youve done it before, and you know that its worse in your mind than it is in reality. Yes, the idea of hard work is scarier than the work itself. TAURUS (April 20May 20). It feels strange to be praised for something you did so long ago that you can hardly identify with it anymore. And yet, you cant expect everyone to be up-to-the-minute with your life, so youll gladly accept the good will. GEMINI (May 21June 21). The most important task of the day looms large in your mind, and yet theres something youd rather be doing. Well, who said it was the most important, anyway? If it wasnt you, your resistance may be warranted. CANCER (June 22July 22). True, planning will be key to the final execution of your project. But too much planning is a danger, too, as the plan takes up so much energy that theres little left to take action. LEO (July 23Aug. 22). Love is distracting, especially if its new and unexplored. Your heart, body and mind are eager for discovery. How far to take this and when to rein it in will be the main questions of the day. VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22). You can work solo for hours and hours and never get lonely. In fact, you prefer to work alone now. A deep and abiding respect and love for yourself will carry you through. LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 23). The role you play in a persons life will be greatly amplified if that person happens to be a child. The young, inexperienced and impressionable need a positive example, and today youre it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). The fearlessness you show through your physical body is experienced in your emotional body as excitement and flow. Youll make several decisions very quickly. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). The job on the table is mysterious; it involves unknown elements and a different skill set from the one you currently possess. Dont let that stop you, and dont wait until you know what its about to get started. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Whats the use of doing good work if nobody sees it? You dont like to promote yourself, but now youll be doing the world a disservice if you dont show people what youve been doing. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). People only lie when they are afraid. Theres someone who isnt being totally truthful with you. Think about what this person is afraid of. If you can address that fear and reduce it, youll get the truth. PISCES (Feb. 19March 20). Are the lines in the road rules or guidelines? Your opinion on this matter is reflected in the way you navigate the road of a relationship. Under what circumstances would you dare to cross the lines?

Eickholt reported the Kansas Attorney General has noted workers with permits are allowed to have a weapon in their personal vehicles. That was a development that wasnt really surprising to us, Commission Chair Larry Hicks said. To know that some people will have weapons in their own personal vehicles while they carry out official duties is a little troubling. Commissioner Ben Bennett said he appreciates the protection aspect, but its a liability issue. If bystanders get shot and

Crawford is a reminder to get those tax returns filed. Many taxpayers will either prepare their own taxes or head to one of the more widely-known service providers to help them file. Yet for some who qualify, volunteers are ready to offer the same service for free. Through the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, tax preparation is available at no cost to people who make $52,000 a year or less and need assistance in filing their tax returns. In Junction City, volunteers are set up at Junction City High School, 900 N. Eisenhower Drive, and the Junction City-Geary County United Way office, 139 E. Eighth St. While the high schools services began last week, volunteers at the United Way office held their first appointments last night. Ailleen Cray, Director of the Junction City-Geary County United Way, said people already had begun calling ahead to see if the service would be available this year. If they have had their taxes prepared this way

Appointments for the VITA program can be made at the Junction City-Geary County United Way or Junction City High School. Appointments can be made at the United Way office by calling (785) 2382117, and at the high school by calling (785) 717-4265.
before, theyre very likely to do it again, she said. Appointments at the United Way office are available Monday and Wednesday evenings. Those interested in the service can schedule themselves for one of the 13, 30-minute sessions held those days from 5 to 8 p.m. by calling (785) 238-2117. Appointments at the high school also must be scheduled ahead of time by calling (785) 717-4265. Theres no shortage of people who will take advantage of the service. We generally fill up our schedule, Cray said of the United Ways appointments. At both VITA locations, trained volunteers are on hand to help people file returns and be on the lookout for possible refunds. The preparers file electronically, Cray said. It makes it very simple for people. Because VITA is designed to help with simple returns,
people with more complicated taxes probably should look at other tax service providers, Cray said. Not everyone would be able to use this service,

Basically, get away from the house and have some fun. Fort Riley firefighters spent more than one hour learning about the vehicles and practicing extrication with a dummy. This is excellent, said Capt. Michael Kendall, training officer, FES. Our outreach to the community partners is something we strive to do, and we have great partners out there. Kendall said the department often conducts training with agencies on-post and beyond, including a recent training session with hazardous materials handlers. Accidents with military vehicles are more common than he would like, Kendall said. Its something we deal with quite a bit, he said. With all the troop movements we have, and how much op tempo we do here, its amazing that really more people arent hurt. The safety department really does a great job. Kendall said on-post firefighters deal with a unique set of obstacles. It keeps you working, and it keeps you thinking every time something like this happens, he said. We did some military vehicle extrication training, said Capt. Andre Ebaben, FES. General one-on-one training. Figured out how theyre configured, put together. How to dissemble them, get them apart if we need to perform any extrication. Ebaben said this wasnt new information to each firefighter. We went through it when they first started armoring up these humvees around five years ago, he said, adding the training was a good refresher. We have a lot of new guys who havent seen it before, so itll be new to them. DHHB soldiers were glad to have the opportunity to work with the post fire department. Were very thankful for the fire department coming up here and giving us the opportunity, Cummins said. I just want to thank all of the people who have helped me get it set up.

It was unclear Friday if Yan had been released. A lawyer for Yan didnt immediately respond to messages seeking comment. Zhang, who remained in custody Friday, hadnt been able to make the $50,000 bond because a bank wouldnt give his wife a second mortgage on their home in northeast Kansas, according to court documents. In a motion filed Friday, Zhangs public defender,
Thomas Bartee, said Zhangs wife was turned down for the loan due to concerns about Mr. Zhangs creditworthiness. The motion, which asked the judge to modify the original order to allow Zhang to post bond with money from something other than a second mortgage, said Zhang has other sources who can provide the $50,000 appearance bond, including a brotherin-law in China and a friend at Purdue University. Zhang and Yan, who have pleaded not guilty, each face up to 10 years in prison and fines up to $250,000 on each count. Theyre scheduled for a next appearance in federal court in Kansas City on Feb. 18.

Kansas coach Charlie Weis is still tinkering with his coaching staff, moving Rob Ianello to director of research and adding the title of recruiting coordinator to running backs coach Reggie Mitchell. Ianello had previously been in charge of the Jayhawks wide receivers, who struggled mightily during a 3-9 season a year ago. Weis said Monday that he will handle wide receivers and Ianello will spend most of his time on recruiting. The moves came after the Jayhawks wrapped up this years recruiting class last week, and after new offensive coordinator John Reagan had a chance to review the coaching staff. Kansas begins spring practice March 4. The annual spring game is April 12.

Quinton Pippen scored a career-high 28 points, including five 3-pointers, to lead Chicago State to an 81-74 win over Missouri-Kansas City on Saturday. Chicago State (10-12, 5-3 Western Athletic Conference) took the lead midway through the first half on a Matt Ross dunk that made it 10-9 and never trailed again, though the Cougars had to quell a secondhalf UMKC rally to cement the win. Pippen, nephew of NBA hall of famer Scottie Pippen, was 7 of 10 from the field and a perfect 9 of 9 from the free throw line. Clarke Rosenberg contributed 19 points, Nate Duhon added 11 and Eddie Denard 10. UMKC (7-15, 4-5) rallied in the second half with a 19-4 run that tied the game at 52 on a Martez Harrison jumper but couldnt capture the lead as the Cougars then pulled away. Harrison led the Kangaroos with 27 points.

MANHATTAN For the second consecutive year, at the end of the day it was the Blue Jay wrestlers lifting the Centennial League trophy above their heads in triumph. It feels real good, Junction City coach Bob Laster said. It says a lot about my team, with all the adversity we had to go through, even in this tournament. Im confident with how guys stepped up. I like this teams work ethic and their desire to be the best. For most of the year, Junction City has dealt with injuries to key players. Once again, Laster had to make an adjustment after he lost his 160pound wrestler for the season. But a crop of underclassmen,
including three freshmen who qualified for the championship of their divisions, stepped up to help retain the trophies. Gary Joint (113 pounds) and Kayne Hutchinson (220 pounds) won their divisions and Aryus Jones took second in the 145-pound division. I was really impressed with was Kayne Hutchins, only a ninth grader, went through the whole field where it was all pins, Laster said. I was really pleased with the way the guys in the finals wrestled. Junction City sent 10 wrestlers to either the consolation or championship finals, including seven on the front side of the bracket. Six of those wrestlers, Joint, Jake Bazan (138 pounds), Andrew Millsap (152 pounds), Micah Felton (170 pounds), Devonte Wilson (182
pounds) and Hutchinson, won their divisions as Junction City won handily with 196.5 points. Manhattan was the closest with 179.5 points. In his first-ever league tournament, Joint impressed in his first two matches before edging Seamans Khamin Crow 6-4 in the final. Joint recently moved up from the 106-pound division but said he didnt notice too much of a difference in the competition. I was calm because if you get intimidated, thats when you lock yourself down to only using a few moves, he said. Youve got to open up and use what youve learned, thats how you win matches. For some, it was a chance at redemption. Last year, Felton and Bazan each
fell short of winning their divisions. Bazan was facing a familiar opponent in Emporias Max Detwiler, who he dispatched for the second time. Ive wrestled that kid before and I pinned him in a headlock, Bazan said. So I knew I couldnt throw another headlock because hes going to look for it so I knew I had to work my leg attack. So first 20 seconds, I hit my leg attack, got two and from there I controlled the rest of the match. Felton left no room for chance in his matches. He won his first two matches by pin before taking the title with a 14-0 major decision. I went out there and I attacked, Felton said. I attacked and I kept Please see Wrestling, 2B

Jim Bob Cooter has been hired as quarterbacks coach for the Detroit Lions. Detroit officially announced the move Monday. Cooter was an offensive assistant for the staff that led Denver to an AFC championship last season. He had previously worked for the Kansas City Chiefs and Indianapolis Colts. Detroit has been putting together a new staff under Jim Caldwell, who replaced fired coach Jim Schwartz. With Cooter on the staff, the Broncos ranked first last season in total offensive yards per game (465.3), total touchdowns (76) and points per game (37.9). Cooter was on Caldwells staff in Indianapolis when the Colts reached the 2010 Super Bowl.

MANHATTAN Kansas State freshman Wesley Iwundu was first. For a moment Monday night, he stood alone on the scorers table, flashing the K-State written across his chest to the stream of students and fans standing below on the court. Quickly, his teammates joined him overlooking the festivities. After seeing No. 7 Kansas scramble to tie the game 69-69 at the end of regulation, senior Will Spradling hit a 3-point shot on the Wildcats first possession of overtime to give his team a 72-71 lead. Kansas State (17-7, 7-4 in the Big 12) never relinquished the lead, earning a 85-82 win, the Wildcats first over Kansas (18-6, 9-2) since 2011. Its something that I grew up thinking about, Spradling said after the game. Obviously playing in the game makes it more important and more fun. Everyone gets excited about it, the fans the family. Its fun. It started with hustle. Please see K-State, 2B

attacking. I went out with the mindset that I was going to win this match and nobody is going to beat me. Jones placed second and Gabe Padilla (120 pounds), Gavin Kroeger (132 pounds) and Kamari Smith (160 pounds) took third. Jones entered the meet unranked but scored valuable points for Junction City by making it to the finals. But winning the Centennial League is just the first step for the Blue Jays on their way to a bigger goal. Junction City has a week off before heading to Washburn Rural for the regional meet. (We need to) keep working, keep sawing wood, keep getting after it in the wrestling room, Millsap said. Weve got a bye week next weekend so weve got two weeks to get ready with practices and then its go time man. The celebration didnt last long. But winning helped set the foundation for the postseason. I feel really confident because I know how hard Ive been working since I started wrestling, Joint said. And its all just been leading up to this moment for high school. Freshman year, you just want to get it out of the way and be successful, my goal at the end of the year is to be Junction Citys first freshman state champion.

After a rebound on the defensive end was knocked off junior Thomas Gipson and headed out of bounds, Spradling lept over the row of cameramen sitting along the baseline to save the ball, keeping possession with the home team. Spradling finished with 15 points. K-State head coach Bruce Weber said Spradlings performance should help cement his legacy at the school. He does so many little things nobody appreciates, Weber said. Like the other day Marcus got 34, on the plus-minus chart, Will was plus 30, Marcus was plus 19. With a 68-59 lead and less than two minutes remaining, K-State seemed to have

finally wrapped up the elusive win against their rival. But when Kansas Andrew Wiggins closed the gap to seven, 68-61, the sense of doubt that surrounds a team when theyve lost 48 of 51 to an opponent began to creep in. Junior Nino Williams chased down a long inbounds pass down the court. But instead of circling back to kill some clock, he attempted a contested layup. It didnt fall. Kansas raced back up the court, where Brennan Greene put it in.
Then, Greene stole the pass and scored again. The walls were caving. I thought Brennan did some good things, Kansas coach Bill Self said. But we shot 3-17 and especially on the road you have to make free throws. Kansas State would only score one more point as the Jayhawks sent the game to overtime. For a moment, it look like it would make it to the extra period. The whistle blew shortly after Wiggins half-court heave went awry. And 0.01 second remained on the clock. But the officials waved it off and the teams played an extra five minutes. In overtime, Kansas won the tip and senior Tarik Black, who saw extensive action with heralded freshman Joel Embiid hampered by injury, put it in to give Kansas a lead.
Then K-State freshman Marcus Foster, who led the Wildcats with 20 points, including four big 3-pointers, did a little thing of his own to open up Spradling. He charged the lane, forcing the Jayhawks to collapse, and waited until the last moment to dish it outside to Spradling. I thought Foster made a great play to Sprading for the 3, Self said. He put his shoulder down and didnt give his tell. For Spradling, it was the cap to a resurgence hes experienced the second half of the season.
He traces it back to a phone call he had with his father before the Iowa State game. His father asked him what he wanted his legacy at K-State to be. Thats when he decided to be more aggressive. But the Wildcats arent satisfied capping their season with this win. They want more, with their second road win when the team heads to Baylor Saturday. This has to be a stepping stone, not to where were going back down, Weber said.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) Remi Dibo scored a career-high 20 points to lead West Virginia to a 10277 victory over No. 11 Iowa State on Monday night, the Cyclones most lopsided loss of the season. Juwan Staten added 19 points and Eron Harris and Terry Henderson each had 16 points for the Mountaineers (15-10, 7-5 Big 12). Iowa State (18-5, 6-5) had
five players in double figures, led by Georges Niangs 17 points. But Melvin Ejim, coming off a Big 12-record 48 points and a career-high 18 rebounds against TCU, was held to six points on 1-of-9 shooting. The Cyclones fell behind by double digits midway through the first half and trailed by as many as 32 points late in the game. West Virginia hit a season-high for points and improved to 2-1 amid a stretch of four straight games against ranked oppo-
nents heading into a matchup Saturday at No. 19 Texas. West Virginia shot 54 percent (35 of 65) from the field, including 13 of 22 from 3-point range. Iowa States outside scoring was virtually nonexistent until it was too late. The Cyclones were held to 37 percent shooting (26 of 71) in losing their fourth road conference game. Dustin Hogue added 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Cyclones while Deandre Kane had 14 points,
Matt Thomas 13 and Monte Morris 10. Kane, a Pittsburgh native, had more than 50 relatives and friends in attendance. He went 1-2 against the Mountaineers while he played at instate rival Marshall and was booed and taunted whenever he touched the ball.

that theres familiarity with the things that we do that makes it easier for us to get ready, he said. I think on the negative side, you can fall into the sense of familiarity and they can bite you if youre not alert. The game presents an opportunity for Junction City to get back on the winning track. Junction City is in the midst of a 7-game slide. Weve got to play more physically, Battle said. Weve got to get to the free throw line and on the other hand weve got to stop fouling. We need to stop being overly aggressive 48 feet from the basket and fouling kids. Those things add up to put people in the bonus situation. I really think we need to be more aggressive at passing it to our big guys inside or our guards getting to the rim. In the second meeting, Seaman outshot the Blue Jays 39-12 from the free throw line. At the start of the season, the third quarter was a strong point for Junction City. Lately, things have changed, as the Blue Jays have struggled after the intermission. But the Blue Jays arent going to switch up their routine too much. Theres not a Knute Rockne speech I can deliver at halftime that would switch up our third quarter, he said. And if there is, I wish someone would send it to me. Battle also said his teams fundamental strategy and philosophy will stay the same. However, he said there will be changes to the teams lineup. Junction City had back-to-back games Friday and Saturday, limiting prep time for the game. But the Blue Jays are well aware of their opponent. Battle said while hed always like more prep time, it shouldnt drastically affect his teams performance. I think the big focus is being enthusiastic for the full 32 minutes and being able to handle the valleys that the game has, he said. And those valleys cant be as low as theyve been. We cant have stretches where

Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Royals pitchers and catchers report to Arizona for the start of spring training on Friday, and that presumably means All-Star closer Greg Holland will be there. Of course, theres a little business that still needs to be finished. Holland is eligible for arbitration and the two sides have yet to reach an agreement. He asked for $5.2 million after going 2-1 with a 1.21 ERA and 47 saves, while the Royals offered $4.1 million. Either way, its a big bump from the $539,000 he made last season. The Royals would not disclose when his arbitration hearing will take place. Hearings run through Feb. 21. Every negotiation is different, said general manager Dayton Moore, who has never gone to arbitration with a player since joining the Royals in 2006. Its a reflection of a player, what theyve accomplished at that stage of their career, what kind of leverage they have. The last Royals player to go to arbitration was outfielder Emil Brown, who won his case in 2006, before Moore was hired. In 2005, pitcher Jeremy Affeldt lost his case with Kansas City. We dont mind going to a hearing. We havent experienced that since weve been here together, but its not by design, Moore said. Getting a deal done prior to a hearing is going to be more challenging for us going forward as long as we have players excelling and doing well. The Royals had little trouble reaching deals with their other arbitration-eligible players: outfielder Justin Maxwell, first baseman Eric Hosmer, catcher Brett Hayes and relief pitchers Tim Collins, Luke Hochevar and Aaron Crow. They also agreed to a deal with Emilio Bonifacio, who was designated for assignment when the club re-signed veteran pitcher Bruce Chen. The club requested unconditional release waivers on Bonifacio on Monday. Moore has already signed several of what he considers the cornerstones of the Royals future to long-term deals. Holland said hed be open to such a contract, but hed rather stay out of the negotiations. I think everybody in our clubhouse would like a longterm contract, he said. Being here in Kansas City, I love the town. I love the fans. Id really take a lot of pride in being here when we took the next step, making the playoffs and eventually winning a championship. But its a business, Holland added, and you never know. You just stay in the moment, prepare, throw every pitch like it may be your last one. And the fact of the matter is people move around, especially nowadays. Its hard to stay in the same place for a long time. While its just as rare to find a shut-down closer, they tend to come with risk. Most of them are hard-throwing Holland certainly qualifies and prone to injury, something he has yet to experience. The Royals went down that road with Joakim Soria, whom they wound up paying $6 million in 2012 for doing nothing the twotime All-Star was recovering from Tommy John surgery. Kansas City wound up declining Sorias options and he now pitches for the Texas Rangers. As for discussions of a long-term deal, Im letting my agents take care of that, Holland said. Would everyone in that room like to be here for their whole career? Yeah, but its probably not going to happen. And this season? Well, the Royals and Holland will get together on a number eventually. Otherwise, an arbitrator will be on hand to help them out.
