Sen. Jerry Moran spends time with second-grader Shannon Robinson during the Rockin Readers program.
c.jordan@thedailyunion.net
The book No Mail for Mitchell was a fun page-turner for second grader Shannon Robinson and Sen. Jerry Moran. During Westwood Elementary Schools Rockin Readers, Moran sat by Shannon in the library as she pointed and read words in a colorful book. After a while, there were no more pages to turn. Thanks for reading to me, and I like this book too, Moran said. The purpose of his early Friday morning visit was to observe the program, which helps improve the reading skills of students. Im a fan of reading, Moran said to the children. When I was your age I loved to read and I still love to read today. His next visit was Washington Elementary School, which was recognized as a distinguished Title I School
by the National Title I Association for academic achievements. Schools in the category have a large lowincome population and receive federal funds. Its very useful for me to have an understanding and appreciation of what our educators face in Kansas, Moran said about his Friday tour. One of the things you learn about visiting schools in Junction City and across Kansas is what tremendous challenges our educators have. Moran said military families face obstacles with moving and parents deployed. Another challenge is teaching students learning English as a secondary language. The visit to Washington Elementary included a tour of the building and conversations with students and teachers. During the tour, Moran said he saw caring teachers. All Kansas families have the opportunity to pursue education, Moran said. The equalizing opportunity we have in this country for everybody to succeed is the chance to
have a good quality education in school districts around Kansas and around the country. Lorraine Walker, principal of Washington Elementary School, appreciated Morans visit. Its a wonderful opportunity to share what happens in USD 475, she said. Walker said the school emphasizes the Kansas College and Career Ready Standards, which are based on the Common Core Standards. The standards were developed to bring together a single set of educational standards in English, language arts, math and science. We want our students to be successful here, so it can happen anywhere, Walker said. Board of Education President Ferrell Miller said it was a good opportunity for Moran to see the work being done in the classroom. Any opportunity that elected officials have to come into the school to see whats being taught and learned is a good thing for all of us, Miller said.

FORT RILEY The physical and emotional strengths of a soldier are two important traits a soldier must have. But in order to be a balanced soldier, according to Chaplain Col. Harry Rauch, a soldiers connection to God is also key. The religious aspect, the spiritual resiliency, and their connection with God is very important in terms of everyones overall well being, Rauch said Thursday. Rauch joined Fort Riley officials in dedicating the installations Victory Chapel Thursday morning. The facility, a 22,500 square-foot building on Trooper Drive, will host the Fort Riley Catholic, Protestant and Jewish congregations, and will also serve as a meeting place for soldiers and families alike.

MILFORD City Council member Doug Kneisl has submitted a letter for other council members to review requesting city superintendent Randy Colp resign due to allegations of misconduct. The letter, which Kneisl provided to The Daily Union, lists numerous reasons why he believes Colp should step down. Those reasons include an ongoing issue
of Colp receiving about $12,000 in health insurance benefits for which he didnt qualify because of his part-time employment status, according to city code, from September 2012 to September 2013. Other reasons are allegations including improper building permit procedures, working on two city council members homes as a contractor and other incidents discussed during open meetings dating back to last year.

like this behavior is acceptable. It may happen at the end of a difficult day, or when you have a million things to get done, but stopping what you are doing and addressing the situation is worth the time. If your child is older and is not responding to discussing the situation, then move into appropriate consequences for their action. Make the crime fit the punishment, so to speak. For example, take away your teenagers driving privileges for 48 hours, but remember, only give conse-
quences you can live with as the adult. For a younger child, dont allow him or her to play with their favorite toy for the day. When deciding on a punishment, please remember to stay away from any action that will deprive your child their basic needs of food, clothing, and shelter. All children want positive guidance and direction. It gives them a feeling of security and structure. Children instinctively want to behave and please you, but any attention is better

CHAPMAN Inside the Chapman United Church, Mike VanCampen proudly held up a bright red shirt embedded with the bald eagle and American Flag before giving it to World War II veteran Ernie Wilkins. Along with his wife Kay, Wilkins organized a dinner with Valentines Day theme to help send hundreds of veterans to Washington D.C. for the Kansas Honor Flight program. The organization helps veteran from WWII and the Korean and Vietnam wars travel to the nations capital to visit their memorials. Wilkins reflected in his service in WWII, a war in which millions of veterans served. Many did not return and thats something that pops in your head when youre at the memorial, Wilkins said. They gave everything. With more than 100 tickets sold, the fundraiser collected $1,000 from the spaghetti dinner. Treasurer Lowell Downey said the organization began more than a year ago. Everything has been going well, Downey said. We got some really good volunteers. The organization is working to raise more than $200,000 to take more than 300 veterans to Washington, D.C. We need to raise the funds to accomplish that mission, Downey said. The trips for the veterans are completely paid for and cost between $600 and $700. VanCampen said the trips allow participants to bond and share comradeship. The biggest thing is to see how the public reacts to them for what they did for our country, he said. The public that happens to be there are over them like rock stars.
Rep. Tom Moxley (R-Council Grove) and Clark Shultz (R-McPherson) will speak during a legislative coffee today at the Methodist Church in Council Grove. The event is hosted by the Council Grove/Morris County Chamber of Commerce and Tourism, and the Morris County Farm Bureau Association. The Kansas Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators will be holding a College Goal Sunday event from 2-4 p.m. Sunday at Manhattan High School, where students and parents can receive professional, one-on-one help in filling out the Free Application for Financial Student Aid (FAFSA). The event is free. One student will also win a $500 scholarship to the school of their choice. The scholarship recipient must be a first-semester freshman in the fall of 2014. For more information, visit www.collegegoal.org
Couples dance during the Honor Flight Dinner in Chapman Thursday. The dinner helped raise money to send more than 300 veterans to Washington D.C.
Contrary to popular opinion, VanCampen said a lot of WWII veterans did not receive big parades after coming home because a lot were still serving in the unoccupied countries of Japan and Germany. They came back individually and didnt have a big welcome, he said. Seventy years later, when they come back from a Honor Flight as a group, they do get a huge welcome into Wichita. For more information visit www.kansashonorflight.org. Honor Flight donations can be sent to the Wilkins at 629 Glick, Chapman, KS 67431.

MILFORD As a community reliant on a volunteer fire department, Milford residents understand how vital those brave individuals are to protecting their homes, businesses and lives. This summer, the town has something special planned in hopes of supporting a similar community West, Texas. The town suffered a tragedy April 17, 2013, when a fertilizer plant explosion killed 15 people, including a dozen first responders, and injured more than 300 people. From Aug. 1 to 3, Milford will host Pulling for Heroes, an old-fashioned fire wagon pull tournament. Event organizers are aiming to bring 64 teams to Milfords baseball diamond to participate. The event will raise funds for the West Fire Department. This is going to be something thats going to help a fire department thats in a little town just like us, Milford Fire

The guest speaker will be Pastor William Ocean, of the Pentecostal Church of Jesus Christ in Junction City. For more information, call (785) 238-7434. The Immanual Lutheran Early Childhood Center will be holding a spaghetti dinner and silent auction starting at 5 p.m. March 1. Dinner will be held from 5 to 7 p.m., with a silent auction from 5:15 to 6:15 p.m. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for children under 12. Children under 3 eat free.
other tournament organizers hope crowds flock to Milford for the event, the real point is to support the city of West, which will receive all proceeds and all entry fees. This is all 100 percent donated back to the West, Texas, Fire Department, Roether said. The goal, Roether said, is to try and raise $15,000 to $20,000. Other attractions for non-competitors will include food, beer, bleachers for viewing the races and other forms of entertainment. Weve set this up in a way that were going to have a big community event, Roether said. Interest in the tournament already is building.
Were already getting a lot of donations for this, Roether said. Were not asking the city for anything, as of yet. To draw attention to the event, organizers have enlisted the help of officials in Topeka to send a flyer out to every fire department in Kansas to see if those departments would consider fielding teams. Roether said hes also been in contact with officials from West, who he said are excited about the event. Now that the event has been announced, a few details still need to be ironed out before August. Its going to get fun now with the planning committee, Roether said.

This April 4, 2013 file photo released by NBC shows Jimmy Fallon, host of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, in New York. Fallon will debut as host of his new show, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, on Feb. 17.
He is the most inclusive comic Ive ever known, adds Lieb, whose credits include The Daily Show With Jon Stewart and the sitcom NewsRadio. Some comics want to shut the audience out. Jimmy really wants to bring the whole world in on the joke. Fallon is also up for anything, and his guests seem chill about following his lead. Like when he and toughguy action-film star Jason Statham doused each other with pitchers of water during a card game called Water War. Im not afraid to get wet, says Fallon, chortling at the memory. Im not afraid to get messy. It seems to be paying off. Note that charter Late Night host David Letterman held that post for more than a decade before launching Late Show (now Fallons CBS rival at 11:35 p.m.). OBrien labored 15 long years before his short-lived promotion to Tonight. Now, after only a fiveyear internship, Fallon has graduated to whats repeatedly, momentously, hopefully described as his last job. Thats what it SHOULD be, he nods. Its a great job, and it should be the last job, if you do it right. Im looking forward to being here a long time!

The following editorial appeared in the Chicago Tribune on Thursday, Feb. 13:
re you saving yourself for the replay? Are you hoping, for example, to make it through your workday without finding out if Indianas Nick Goepper won Olympic gold in mens slopestyle skiing hours before you got out of bed this morning? Good luck with that. The people who were up at 3 a.m. to watch the event live to be fair, it wasnt 3 a.m. for all of them have been tweeting, texting, emailing and Facebooking about it ever since Goepper **SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!** just kidding; were not going to blab it here. Youre welcome. If youve managed to avoid all those other spoilers, from the news alerts on your phone to the babbling of fellow passengers on the train, then youve pulled off the spectators equivalent of a triple cork. But the day is young. On Wednesday, there was a palpable tension between the people who didnt yet know whether Chicagoan Shani Davis had won an unprecedented third gold medal in the 1,000-meter speedskating event and **STOP READING NOW IF YOU STILL DONT KNOW** the rest of us, who were buzzing about his disappointing eighth-place finish. Thanks to our many gadgets, weve gotten used to the idea that we can watch things at our convenience. We can witness a sporting event unfolding 10 time zones away. Or we can wait and watch it at a more civilized hour, through the miracle of digital replay. But we cant stop the people who know what happened from spoiling things for the ones who dont. This doesnt apply only to the Olympics, by the way. We were dismayed Tuesday night to learn via Twitter that the Westminster Kennel Club had awarded best in show to **SPOILER ALERT** a wire-haired fox terrier. So much for the DVR. But dodging the dog-show spoilers is a lot easier than avoiding Olympic updates. There are thousands of journalists in Sochi, after all, and their job is to relay the results as fast as they can. The race itself may be entertainment, but the winner is news. Its what we do. So what can you do if you want to watch the replay as if it were in real time? Not much. You can find many laughable suggestions by Googling how to avoid Olympic spoilers. You can filter your email. You can download spoiler-screening apps for all your gadgets. You can unplug, unfollow, unfriend, unsubscribe. But you cannot unhear. If you somehow pull off a total media blackout, you still run the risk of learning the results of the biathlon from some random loudmouth in Starbucks. If you want to watch the games without knowing the results, your choice, really, is to stay up all night watching the livestream _ or spend the next 10 days cursing your gadgets and your co-workers. The Olympics are the coolest thing happening in the world right now. Theres no way to keep that quiet.
CYNTHIA TUCKER
Commentary that during previous economic expansions for several reasons. The first is slower growth in the potential labor force ... resulting from long-term demographic trends, namely, the aging of the population and retirement of the baby boom generation. Thats about as clear a statement as you can get in a report written by demographers and economists. And if you consider the labor market, you can easily understand it: Pre-retirement age folks fuel the economy -- filling jobs, creating businesses, paying taxes. They are the ones who pay for Social Security and Medicare, the entitlement programs for the elderly (The tax payments of current retirees were spent on earlier generations). If you want to see what happens when a country begins to age, just take a look at Japan, which has been stuck with a moribund economy for more than a decade. Several factors converged to doom a onceenviable growth engine, but a birthrate that dropped below replacement level played a major role. Europe, too, has been hard hit by the demographic bust. While the fiscal misfortunes in Greece have been blamed on corruption, lavish pensions and cultural practices that include stiffing the tax man, one of that nations fundamental challenges is its
aging citizenry. According to government figures, 19 percent of the Greek population is 65 years of age or older, while about 14 percent is under 15. Meanwhile, its average retirement age is 61, and average life expectancy is 79 years. Thats a recipe for debt-driven disaster. There are simply not enough young workers to support that many retirees. No austerity program, no matter how severe, can save the country from its gloomy fate. The United States has been luckier than many industrialized nations. Because of a range of cultural factors, American women tend to have more children than their European counterparts. But immigrants have been our salvation; their birthrates tend to be higher than those of native-born women. That means we havent yet suffered the demographic fate of Japan and Greece. But we havent solved the problem of an aging America, either. We need more young workers to support the huge baby boom generation, whose retirement will overwhelm the system. Fiscal conservatives are right to argue for reforming Social Security and Medicare before they go bankrupt. But too many conservatives refuse to acknowledge the nations need for the children and adolescents born to those who crossed the borders without documents. We ought to welcome them.

To the Editor:
egarding the Feb. 6, 2014 article pertaining to Mr. Allan Rothlisbergs comment and Mrs. Jan Stowes reaction, I cant believe Mrs. Stowe went so far with this, especially with the title/name of her group. Mrs. Stowe says focusing on the accuracy of the quote isnt important and whether or not he said it was irrelevant at this point. Really? Seems to me that a man, oh about 2000 years ago, was in a similar situation and the people hunted him down and crucified him. All without probable cause. And what about the gentleman who started all this with the comment? Will Mrs. Stowe also bring him under scrutiny? Now I was not at the meeting when Mr. Rothlisberg made his comments, but seems to me that he should be presumed innocent first. I am anxiously awaiting the facts of this matter.

oliticians say, Were all equal, and pretend that they represent everyone. But, in fact, they constantly pick winners and losers. America is now like the place described in George Orwells book Animal Farm: All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others. Animal Farm was about Communism, but today the allegory applies to our bloated democracy, too. During the fiscal cliff negotiations that Congress and the media made sound so tough as if every last penny were pinched Congress still managed to slip in plenty of special deals for cronies. NASCAR got $70 million for new racetracks. Algae growers got $60 million. Hollywood film producers got a $430 million tax break. When Americas going broke, how do moviemakers get a special break? By lobbying for it. Movies are a sexy business, so 42 states offer film producers incentives to film there. (State legislatures are as shortsighted as Congress). Michigan offered the juiciest handouts until the state ran out of taxpayers money. Now Ohio, Louisiana and Georgia (thats why the latest Hunger Games movie was shot in Georgia) offer the biggest handouts. The mayor of Los Angeles recently declared a state of emergency not over an earthquake or storm, but because so much moviemaking has left California for states with bigger subsi-
dies. The U.S., which used to pride itself on being more free-market than Europe, is now hardly different from France, which crippled its economy by subsidizing all sorts of old industries, and even gives money to producers of American films that mention France. Politicians everywhere are always eager to help out people who helped get them elected. In the U.S., labor unions were big supporters of President Barack Obama, and presto unions got 451 waivers from Obamacare. Congressional staff got a special exception, too. Funny how many of these laws are supposed to be great for all of us but, once passed, look ugly to the privileged class. So they exempt themselves. Even the crusade to save the earth is captured by the special people. Subsidies for green energy were supposed to go to the best ideas. Yet somehow your money went to companies like Solyndra, whose biggest shareholder just happened to be an Obama backer who bundled money for the president. And somehow Al Gore, who had a modest income when he entered politics, reaped $200 million from brilliant investments after he left office. He must just be really smart. On my TV show this week, progressive commentator Ellis Henican says this cronyism is inevitable and doesnt really bother him: If we want roads and bridges and prisons and a military and a safety net, someone somewhere is going to benefit from that. But you cant use that as an excuse to not do important things for our society.
I say its one more reason to keep government small. Politicians doling out favors quietly shift where societys resources flow, who gets employed, what ideas are pursued. It distorts the economy and the culture and it turns us into a nation of favor-seekers instead of creators and producers. What about all the new businesses that would have gotten investment money but didnt have Gore on their boards? What new ideas might have thrived if old industries werent coddled? We dont know. We will never know the greatness of what might have existed had the state not sucked the oxygen out of the incubator. Because of governments favorgranting, Washington, D.C., is now the place where the well-connected go to get rich. For the first time in history, six of the richest counties in the U.S. surround D.C. When a small group of people gets to dispense $3.6 trillion and set rules that can help or kill your idea, you want to suck up to them. As long as government has the power to grant favors, cronies and their lobbyists will seek those favors out. The privileged win. The people lose.

KANSAS NEWS
TOPEKA A former Kansas Bureau of Investigation official was charged Thursday with sexual exploitation of a child and trying to destroy evidence. Shawnee County prosecutors said Kyle G. Smith, a former KBI deputy director, is charged with one count of sexual exploitation of a child for allegedly possessing a photo of a child engaged in sexually explicit conduct in November. He also faces two counts of interference with law enforcement, alleging he tried to destroy evidence on a telephone and on a computer. A local jail official said the 57-year-old Smith, who lives in Topeka, was released around 5:20 p.m. after posting a $15,000 surety bond. Smiths attorney, Thomas Haney, did not return a message from The Associated Press seeking comment. Smith doesnt have a listed phone number. The prosecutors office announced the charges in a news release but provided few details. KBI spokesman Mark Malick said in December that the agencys human resources office issued a notice Nov. 26 that Smith no longer worked for the KBI. The office would not provide details, calling it a personnel matter. We are saddened and disappointed that a past employee of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation is alleged to have committed the acts charged today by the Shawnee County District Attorney, KBI Director Kirk Thompson said in a brief statement released Thursday night. Thompson added that any further comment from the agency would be inappropriate because the case is now before a court. The Topeka CapitalJournal reported that Smith had 32 years of experience as a prosecutor, law enforcement officer and administrator. After receiving a law degree in 1981 from The University of Kansas, Smith spent six years as a prosecutor in the Lyon County Attorneys Office. In 1987, Smith was appointed assistant attorney general and general counsel to the KBI. Smith

gold, which has wider interest among investors, said Sterling Smith, a commodities analyst with Citigroup. So when gold rose earlier this week, it was expected that silver would have to play catch-up, Smith said. The silver market has been underperforming gold all year and that tends to correct itself over time, Smith said. Other metals also rose. March palladium futures rose $6.50, or 1 percent, to $737.60 an ounce. April platinum rose $13.50, also 1 percent, to $1,430.10 an ounce and high-grade copper futures rose a penny, or 0.4 percent, to $3.26 a pound.

Dr. Max Heim was happy to see some familiar faces as he stood in front of the Geary County Board of Education and other district professionals. As the senior consultant for the Kansas Association of School Boards (KASB), the purpose of his Tuesday visit at the Devin Center was to help begin the search process for the next superintendent for the school district. As a former leader of Unified School District 475, Heim knows how important that role is. In the upcoming months, Heim will be busy lending a hand assisting USD 475 with finding a superintendent. Its one of the greatest places Ive ever worked, Heim said about his tenure from 1980 to 1992. He was assisted by Gary

We are one of the leaders in the state of Kansas and have been for many years, Miller said. We want to remain a leader in the education profession. Were recognized in the nation for having some great accomplishments in our school district and we want to continue that. Miller indicated their decision will have an impact on the district for years to come.
Personally, Miller wants the next superintendent to have experience in administration and education. Miller said he wants someone with empathy for people working with children in school buildings. Thats very high on my list, Miller said. Im interested in somebody with a high degree of integrity and honesty. Miller said he also wants the next leader to carry on with technology and curriculum improvements. If the proper applicant is not found, KASB can extend the search, or assist with finding an interim and return in the fall. The fiscal year of a school district is July 1, so superintendents almost always have to start then, Heim said. For close to 40 years, KASB has conducted superintendent searches throughout Kansas. They tend to be experts at this and will lead us through the process, Miller said.

The Junction City-Geary County Economic Development Commission is taking baby steps toward preparing marketing solutions officials hope will attract bioscience companies to Junction City. Though a subgroup of the Economic Development Commission (EDC) was formed in November, progress on putting a marketing plan into action has been slow. During the EDC board of directors meeting Tuesday, Susan Jagerson, Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce economic development specialist, explained whats in the works. Weve done some followup things, she said. Weve contacted some site selectors. Those steps are part of a plan for recruiting or approaching companies interested in locating closer to the National Bio- and AgroDefense Facility in Manhattan. Currently under construction near Kansas State Universitys campus, NBAF likely wont be fully operational until 2021. Research at the $1.23 billion facility will focus on protecting livestock and food supplies in the United States from diseases that could spread accidentally or intentionally from other countries. Though theres still time, chamber and EDC officials want to get a jump on recruiting efforts. Previously, the EDC considered using a consultant to help with marketing. Jagerson told the board of directors Tuesday that likely would be too costly. Jagerson said theyre still looking into bringing a site selector to Junction City to assess the communitys preparedness. Were working on getting a proposal from them to get them to come in for a few days, she said. If that works out, Jagerson said, the selector would visit sometime in March. Other than the site selector, the EDC is looking into how much it would cost to place a sign advertising Junction City to bioscience businesses at the Manhattan Regional Airport. Chamber and EDC officials also have been attempting to stay in the know on NBAF-related legislative happenings. Jagerson said she and Chamber CEO Tom Weigand attended Bioscience Day Jan. 30 in Topeka. The trip was an opportunity to speak to legislators, telling them that Junction City is here and letting them know that we want to be involved in the (NBAF) conversations, Jagerson said. Jagerson added she hopes the EDC subgroup focused on NBAF can meet again soon to continue pushing its marketing goals.

A decision made two weeks ago by the Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors had one of its advisory committees questioning, to some degree, why it wasnt consulted. The Junction City-Geary County Economic Development Commission board Tuesday voiced concern over a decision to pursue a capital campaign feasibility study that appears to have much to do with its primary focus economic development. Though in general supportive of the study, some board members, including chairman Ben Kitchens, wondered whether the discussion should have been brought to the EDC. Kitchens, who also sits
on the chamber board, said he brought that up Jan. 29 before the study was approved. I raised the question whether or not it needed to come to these tables first, he said. But at the chamber boards meeting, the directors decided it was appropriate for them to make the decision. We just got circumvented, thats all, board member Gery Schoenrock said, later adding he too was supportive of the feasibility study. At the chamber boards meeting, the directors unanimously approved entering into a contract with Jerry Hinson and his company, Regional Development Associates (RDA), to determine the feasibility of a community development fundraising campaign.
As part of the study, RDA will spend about 45 days polling community stakeholders. The study itself will cost about $25,000. The total cost, after additional expenses, is not to exceed $30,000. Two weeks ago was the third time Hinson delivered his pitch to chamber or EDC officials. Hinsons second pitch was given to the EDC last year. We decided not to pursue the capital campaign at that time, Kitchens said Tuesday. Kitchens has said hes supported pursuing the campaign from the first time Hinson spoke, but thought maybe the EDC should have had more say. Hinson and RDA have a successful track record, having operated campaigns that exceeded fundraising goals for Manhattan, Topeka and Pottawatomie Coun-
ty. Hes never failed, if hes been hired, Kitchens said. The point of the campaign would be community growth. Hinson has mentioned economic development as a major part of that aim. As Kitchens pointed out, thats the EDC boards arena to make economic development recommendations to the chamber board. I still wonder what were in existence for if its not to discuss economic development, he said. But Schoenrock said the study could return with suggestions to focus community growth in other areas, not necessarily only economic development. We really dont know, at this point, what the responses will be, he said. County Commissioner Larry Hicks, a nonvoting
member of the EDC board, said the decision to pursue the feasibility study could begin the process of developing a path toward community growth. The lack of a plan is whats missing in terms of whether were going to have success, Hicks said. If the feasibility study suggests a capital campaign could be successful, a decision will need to be made on whether to have Hinson and RDA actually carry out the campaign. Hinsons campaigns typically run about nine to 10 months, with RDA and local representatives approaching potential donors about pledging a certain amount per year for five years. RDA would receive a monthly fee throughout the campaign.

Junction City police arrested a Minnesota man for transporting alleged drug proceeds and other charges Monday morning following a traffic stop on Interstate 70. Terry Wassather, 59, was arrested at about 8:31 a.m. after an officer stopped his vehicle at mile marker 304 of eastbound I-70 for fail-
ure to maintain a lane, according to a police incident report. On top of the traffic violation, Wassather was arrested for suspicion of transporting drug proceeds, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Police declined to release how much in proceeds or how much marijuana Wassather possessed at the time of the stop.

Models wear a design created by Mark Fast Friday during London Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2014.
Use a little imagination, and you can star in your own. The fashion world may be notoriously snooty and exclusive, but a thriving street style and fashion blogging scene can make anyone an Internet sensation - provided their outfit is eye-catching enough. Somerset House was crawling with eagle-eyed street photographers hunting down the bestdressed attendees, and at every corner dozens of students, bloggers and model wannabes were twirling and pouting for cameras in the rain. At fashion weeks, the show is
Associated Press
out here on the street, said Carmen Negoita, a blogger in a bright red floppy hat, spiky leopard Christian Louboutin heels and a red coat draped artfully over her shoulders. Suzanne Middlemass, a photographer, said most women relate to street fashion much more than catwalk styles because it showcases real women mixing and matching accessible clothes. Im looking for something different. A bag or a shoe can really help you stand out. It can also be something really simple but well thought-out, she said. The big no-no? Trying too hard. You can always spot those, she said. Not everyone gets it right. You need to have an eye for it.
Away from the glitz and glamor at Somerset House, a much more modest catwalk show was quietly catering to curvier women. But Hayley Hasselhoff, model and daughter of Baywatch star David The Hoff, theres no reason why plus-sized models
shouldnt get the same recognition as stick-thin ones. The 21-year-old was making her debut catwalk appearance at Londons Plus Size Fashion Weekend Friday. The showcase coincides with, but isnt related to, London Fashion Week, but organizers hope larger models like Hasselhoff could eventually be included on mainstream runways. Calling it plus size doesnt do it justice, she said after walking in a sneak-peek show for reporters. Its about women with curves, and women of all shapes and sizes. I just hope one day (events like this) will get the same respect. Hasselhoff, who says shes a U.S. size 12 to 14, has been modeling since she was 14. Shes recently returned to the catwalk after taking time off for acting classes. The showcase, only in its second year, features four catwalk showcases of bridal wear, swimsuits and lingerie over the weekend. Its still a small event, but is almost certainly going to grow the average British womans size is now a 14 to 16 (U.S. 10 to 12), after all.

remote location in rural Geary County where the body of a female was discovered Wednesday night, the press release stated. An evidence response team from the FBI was called in to help process the crime scene. Junction City police initially arrested Middleton Feb. 9 on a failure to appear warrant from Aurora, Colo. She was arrested on Fort Riley, though an address wasnt disclosed. Woody was arrested Wednesday night at the Geary County Sheriffs Department on a failure to appear warrant from Geary
County District Court in addition to the other charges. Woody, Middleton and Anderson had their first appearances Friday in Geary County District Court. Their bonds were set at $1 million, Geary County Attorney Steve Opat said. Junction City police still are investigating the case. The Geary County Sheriffs Department, Grandview Plaza Police Department, Fort Riley Military Police Investigations, Army CID, Fort Riley JAG Office, Riley County Police Department and the Geary County Attorneys Office are assisting the investigation.

NRP funding for enhancements are accomplished by tax incentives and fundraising by governments, non-profit groups and small businesses. After contracts are finalized, Bieker said its a done deal with an opening set for

But Bieker said it can help improve the marketplace in Chapman. He was told by the developer their goal is to have residents think twice before leaving town to shop at Walmart.

In September, Kneisl called for Colps termination, although his motion made during a city council meeting died for lack of a second. During Thursdays City Council meeting, Kneisl said hes had citizens come to his house several times with allegations of misconduct against Colp. As a city council member, I actually believe that a lot of these allegations are true, he said. And I believe that Randy has lied and manipulated the system to where he is what I call emotional blackmailing the mayor and some of the council members about some of this stuff. Colp declined to comment after the meeting. Kneisl said any additional complaints should be submitted to the city offices. I take these things to heart, and all that stuff, Kneisl said. I bring them up in front of the city. But if people want to start making these complaints, and all that stuff, just come down here, file a complaint and put it in (the city building) because allegations are just claims. Until weve got proof that these are (factual) allegations, I cant move forward with them. Kneisl suggested the allegations may need to be discussed in a separate city council session. Former City Council member James Talley
also spoke during Thursdays meeting about the health insurance issue. Hes spoken about the topic frequently since last fall. Talley has aimed questions at Milford Mayor Brad Roether, alleging he had a hand in allowing the insurance benefits to continue. Talley has said the council, including himself when he served, was negligent in its oversight of the matter. Talley suggested Thursday the incident was similar to Roether walking into a store, stealing a TV and giving it to Colp. The loss here has been directly born by all our friends and neighbors, and the loss is much more significant to our small town finances than the hypothetical loss of a flat screen TV stolen from Walmart, Talley said. Both Roether and Colp, Talley said, are bound by city codes that list their duties and ethics to follow while on the job. Do our codes and rules only apply to some and others are exempt? Talley asked. It seems that way to me. The city council discussed the issue in October during a closed session. City Council member Steven Lawson later said the council discussed the matter with its attorney, Rick James, and took an appropriate recourse. No further information was released. Talley hasnt been satisfied with that response. Its unfortunate that if theres to be any accountability or justice, it will have to come from the outside and not from ourselves, Talley said.

The U.S. speedskating team is dumping the suits that were touted as the fastest in the world. Under Armours senior vice president of innovation, Kevin Haley, tells The Associated Press that the American team has received permission from the International Skating Union to switch back to its previous suits, starting with the mens 1,500 meters Saturday. The U.S. came into the games confidently predicting that its new suits, developed with help from major defense contractor Lockheed Martin, would give it a technological edge. Instead, the Americans have yet to finish higher than seventh in the first six events, leading some athletes to grumble that the new suits were actually a hindrance. So, its back to the suits that were used previously in World Cups and the U.S. Olympic trials.

He lost his spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, his sponsor, and his job a trifecta of bad news that left him scrambling for a ride late in 2013. Truex hopes he found a home at Furniture Row, a onecar operation based in Denver, Colorado, far removed from NASCARs North Carolina hub. Truex made a couple of offseason trips to Denver to bond with his new crew. Hed like to help Furniture Row go back-toback with a Chase spot something he can do with a victory. True has only two career wins, including one last season at Sonoma. After the penalties, he was 16th in the standings.

The Junction City girls basketball team had the start it wanted. The Blue Jays jumped out to a 10-4 lead in the first quarter against Washburn Rural Friday, and it looked as if everything would go right for once. But then the turnovers that plague Junction City turned up, as the Junior Blues outscored the home team 18-5 in the second quarter on the way to handing the Blue Jays a 55-37 defeat. I think we were believing in ourselves and thats something that when we do that, were going to be a very tough team to beat, Junction City coach Nate Parks said. But we have a hard time with adversity and were not strong enough to get through those moments yet. The turnovers werent due to a high-pressure defense. Instead, they occurred once the ball was moved past half court. There, the Blue Jays would pick up the ball too soon or drive into traffic and lose the ball. I think its just a confidence thing and being more mentally strong, Parks said. I think sometimes we over-penetrate too, and thats where we get our turnovers but were working through that and were going to try to get better. But the difficulties didnt deter sophomores AKia Fain and Kealee Rains. In the third quarter, Fain continued to attack the paint.

SURPRISE, Ariz. Starting pitcher James Shields entered Royals camp on Friday wearing a shirt with the word propaganda on the front. The Royals begin spring training with hopes of ending a 29-year-old playoff drought since winning the 1985 World Series. The Royals propaganda, I think weve going to have a really good spring training, Shields said. Im real excited to be here and get going. Hopefully, we can continue doing what we did at the end of the year last year. Were in high spirits. Weve got a lot of work to do. I think spring training is where it all starts. Our main goal this year is to go to the playoffs and win the World Series, bottom line. We dont take anything for granted. The Royals went 86-76 in
2013, their first winning season since 2003 and their most victories since 1989 when John Wathan managed the club to a 92-70 record. They remained in the chase for a wild-card playoff berth until the final week of the season, but finished 5 1/2 games back of Tampa Bay for the final spot. I think our players were able to have some quality experience of being in a pennant race, general manager Dayton Moore said. Prior to that, battling through a real tough May when the expectations were high, they battled through it. The Royals lost 20 of 28 games in May and were six games below .500 at the All-Star game, but finished 43-27 after the break. Credit Ned (Yost) and the coaching staff getting through that tough time and got the ship righted and start very well, Moore
said. It was predicated primarily on our pitching and defense. I think that quality experience allowed them hopefully understand the rhythm of the Major Leagues, kind of the ups and downs. The Royals welcomed 31 pitchers and six catchers, including All-Star and Gold Glove winner Salvador Perez, to the opening of spring training on Friday, but several have been at the Surprise complex for several days for volunteer workouts. Although the reporting date for position players is not until Wednesday, several are already working out, including 2013 Gold Glove winners left fielder Alex Gordon and first baseman Eric Hosmer, designated hitter Billy Butler and newly acquired second baseman Omar Infante. Spring training is no longer a six-week period for players to get in condi-
tion. Everybody comes in in shape, Royals manager Ned Yost said. They like to work. It doesnt really get stale for them, so no need to really freshen up on anything. Theyll all been here for the most part. I told the position players not to come in tomorrow as theyve been working hard down here. As a player I didnt like standing around. I didnt like doing things that I didnt think helped us in anyway just to be doing things, so we try to eliminate all of that. Spring trainings have run really smoothly the last eight or nine years, do I dont have to tweak it much. Shields will be a big key to the Royals success this season. He went 0-4 last May, despite his 2.92 ERA for the month. He was 4-1 in September with a 3.18 ERA to finish 13-9 with a 3.15 ERA.
We know its a long season, 162 games in 181 days, thats a lot of games, Shields said. Shields, who pitched in the playoffs three years with Tampa Bay before being traded to the Royals after the 2012 season, believes this season could be longer, extended into October. Last year I compared
the two teams, Shields said. Im not going to do that. Were our own team now. Weve established ourselves as a good team. I think the dynamic of this team is from top to bottom, whether its defense, base running, pitching, our bullpen and our offense, I think overall were really good. We just need to be able to put it together.

if we want to finish in the top three, top two and if KU starts to lose, to have a chance at the conference. K-State has flirted with road wins on multiple occasions against, mounting second half comebacks against Texas, Iowa State and West Virginia before ultimately falling short. Part of the problem has been slow starts proving too big a hole to climb out of. Its been real frustrating because sometimes we play bad in the first half, or not as well as we should, but in the second half we get going and the other teams are already in their grooves so its difficult, senior Omari Lawrence said. Marcus Foster, the Wildcats leading scorer, said its an adjustment playing on the road. K-State is 3-6 in road or neutral court games. Its a different environment, Foster said. Im used to seeing purple everywhere and theres different colors, so its just something that when you get to the gym, youve got to get used to it. Baylor entered conference play with only one loss on its resume but since has experienced significant trouble. The Bears are desperate to turn their season around fast in order to qualify for postseason play. But the Wildcats are licking their chops at an opportunity to play against a team that plays predominantly in a zone defense. I definitely like when I hear teams play zone, Foster said. Spread them out, with Will, Shane and me, we can hit a lot of shots. Theyre going to have to come out on us and thats when (Thomas Gipson), Nino (Williams) and Wes (Iwundu) will get their shots. We have to be smart, we cant go crazy and just shoot up a bunch of shots. Weve got to keep playing how weve been playing. A road win not only keeps the Wildcats conference title hopes alive, but would provide a significant boost to the teams tournament seed. And after defeating two top-20 teams last week, a win could also vault the Wildcats back into the top-25. Right now, all the pieces are coming together, Foster said. This is the perfect time for it to come together with the end of the Big 12 Conference and the start of the Big 12 and NCAA tournament.

make the call along with Joel on him being honest with us and how hes feeling. Self said MRI exams came back negative, and Embiid is feeling better after missing practice all week. But he wont play Saturday. A lot of times theres no reason to hold guys out if theyre healthy, too. Well make that determination in the next few days, Self said. Embiid has gained attention this season while averaging nearly 11 points and eight rebounds for the Jayhawks. Those numbers may appear modest, but they have NBA scouts salivating because Embiid, a native of Cameroon, has only been playing for a few years. With footwork honed on soccer fields and timing developed on volleyball courts, Embiid has shown the kind of natural ability that has drawn comparisons to Hakeem Olajuwon. He was two blocks shy of a triple-double against Oklahoma
State, and he still managed 11 points and 12 rebounds last week against West Virginia despite dealing with pain. Embiid hasnt played more than 17 minutes in any of his last three games. Hes looking around to see if hes going to get hit as opposed to initiating contact because hes sore and hurts in different areas, so yeah, I think theres certainly some signs he hasnt been himself, Self said. But like I said before, it would be like to me if youre a running back and your high ankle sprain hasnt totally healed but you could go out there. In other news, Self said he planned to sit down with reserve forward Jamari Traylor on Thursday to discuss his status for Saturdays game. Traylor sat out Monday nights game for what Self called disciplinary reasons. Jamari and I are going to visit today, and Ill hold off on that until after we visit, Self said. But I certainly anticipate that visit going well.

NEW ORLEANS Andre Drummond grabbed everything in sight, even that MVP trophy that came apart. Drummond had 30 points and a Rising Stars Challenge-record 25 rebounds, leading Team Hill to a 142-136 victory over Team Webber on Friday night. Coach Nate McMillan said general manager Grant Hill talked to his team before the game about performing like Denvers Kenneth Faried, who had 40 points and 10 rebounds while winning MVP honors last year. The message got through to Drummond, who grabbed 14 offensive rebounds. Drummond had in his mind that he was going to go out and play the game hard, said McMillan, an assistant to Indiana coach Frank Vogel. Every rebound that came off the board, he wanted. A few of them he took from his teammates, but I liked his aggressiveness. Besides an impressive tally of dunks and rebounds, Drummond even managed to make his free throws. A 41 percent shooter during the regular season, the Detroit forward went 6 for 8, including a pair with 29 seconds left after chasing down Bradley Beals missed free throw to give his team a five-point lead.

TEMPE, Ariz. Jermaine Marshall scored eight of his 29 points in the second overtime and Jordan Bachynski blocked T.J. McConnells layup attempt with 6 seconds left, sending Arizona State to a 69-66 victory over No. 2 Arizona on Friday night. With both teams struggling offensively most of the night, Arizona State (19-6, 8-4 Pac-12) turned to Marshall when it counted. He went over 20 minutes without a field goal, but hit consecutive 3-pointers and scored on a drive with 14 seconds left to put the Sun Devils up 67-66. McConnell then tried to drive the lane, but Bachynski swatted his shot away, leading to Jahii Carsons breakaway dunk. Arizona States fans rushed the court, had to be cleared because there was 0.8 seconds left, then poured out of the stands again after Nick Johnson missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer. McConnell led Arizona (23-2, 10-2) with 17 points and five rebounds. Kaleb Tarczewski had 13 points and 13 rebounds, and Aaron Gordon had
13 points and 10 rebounds for the Wildcats, who shot 35 percent and went 4 of 14 from 3-point range. Carson finished with 17 points and six assists. Bachynski had 13 points, seven rebounds and blocked eight shots. Arizona turned the first desert rivalry game into a rout, racing away from the Sun Devils for a 91-68 win in Tucson on Jan. 16. A lot has changed in a month. Arizona lost one of its best players in its only loss of the season when forward Brandon Ashley injured his right foot against California two weeks ago. The Wildcats managed to win their first two games without the versatile sophomore, against the two Oregon schools last week, but had to rejigger their lineup to compensate for his absence. Arizona State has been on a roll since that loss, winning five of its past six games to get back into the NCAA tournament picture. The Sun Devils also had Marshall, their second-leading scorer, back in the lineup after he missed the first game with a groin injury and Bachynski has been playing better after missing all three of his shots in Tucson.

He eventually got to hoist the MVP trophy, though not before it fell to the court when a representative from game sponsor BBVA tried to hand it to him. It comes in two pieces, a star on top of the base, and the presenter was apparently unaware when he grabbed it by the top. It happened last year, too, so I wasnt expecting anything less, Drummond said. Usually a slip-up happens every year with the trophy. So I wasnt too shocked about that. Clevelands Dion Waiters had 31 points, mostly coming during a 1-on-1 duel with New Yorks Tim Hardaway Jr. in the second half. Beal finished with 21 for Team Hill, picked by former NBA star Hill. Hardaway scored 36 points and made seven 3-pointers for fellow former Michigan star Chris Webbers squad. Philadelphia rookie Michael Carter-Williams had 17 points, nine assists and six rebounds. Portlands Damian Lillard had 13 points, five rebounds and five assists in the victory, making him 1 for 1 during the busiest All-Star weekend ever. Last seasons NBA Rookie of the Year will take part in five events, three more on All-Star Saturday and the All-Star game on Sunday. All-Stars such as Kevin Durant, Dwight Howard and Kyrie Irving watched the game, with Irving leaping to his feet at one point after watching Waiters, his Cavaliers teammate, try to take over the game with about 8 minutes to play. Waiters had two baskets and then two 3-pointers, one of them when he stepped back after faking a move to the basket that made Hardaway lose his balance. Hardaway answered back with two 3-pointers of his own as the crowd roared. We were just trying to do a great job of just getting the fans involved, Hardaway said. It was kind of dead in there and we just wanted to just start something, a little 1-on-1 battle here and there, and it was great. Waiters then clinched the duel when he knocked the ball free for a rare defensive highlight in the game, nailing his second straight 3-pointer to give team Hill the lead for good at 126-124 with 2:44 left. Drummond followed with a dunk for a fourpoint advantage, and Team Webber could never catch up. The game that began as a matchup of top rookies and later turned into rookies against secondyear players now mixes the rosters. Thats probably a good thing, since this years crop of kids is so underwhelming. Only two of the top 10 picks in the 2013 draft, which has been hindered by injuries, were invited to this game, No. 2 Oladipo and No. 9 Trey Burke. Players were picked to play on Team Hill and Team Webber, which they wore under their numbers on the back of their jerseys. Drummond 16 points and 10 rebounds in his first 10 minutes and shot 12 of 21 for the game.

collectively, we were joyful. With the game knotted 10-10 in the first, senior Danny Thornton hit a 3-point shot on his first attempt of the day. The next trip down the court, he scored again. Junction City ripped off a 20-3 run that stretched into the second quarter as they took hold of the game. But Junction City coach Battle knew a quick start from Rural could cause trouble for his team. We basically said that we need to take the next few minutes of the third quarter and we need to end this thing, he said. Thats really what it was. We talked about the three things you need to do to defend your lead, defend, rebound and attack the basket. The message set in with sophomore Raye Wilson. He grabbed a defensive rebound from a block and scorched the Junior Blues defense down the court for an open layup to score the first points of the half. Then, junior Tanner Lueker stole the ball and on the fast break made a quick pass to senior Jonathan Wilds. Wilds instantly sent a pass across the lane to a hustling Wilson for the open bucket, giving the Blue Jays a 36-20 lead. And the Blue Jays defense locked down, holding Rural to just six points in the third quarter. We didnt feel like they could run with us and the scoreboard showed that, junior Jordan Lawrence said. Thornton and senior JaMale Morrow each came off the bench to lead Junction City with nine points. But both contributed much more. Morrow was a constant factor on the boards. In the second quarter, he grabbed an offensive rebound and went right back up with it for the score. Then, on the other end of the court, he took a charge. JaMale honestly is a leader, Johnson said. He speaks out, hes very independent and he might not get the minutes he wants, but he doesnt complain about it, he does his role very well. Coach told him to come off the bench and give us a spark and thats exactly what he does. Before the game, Junction City debuted a hype-up video featuring the basketball seniors. It was put together a few months ago by the faculty. Thornton thinks it contributed to the Blue Jays energetic start. The little video at the beginning of the game kind of got our minds right, he said. We were hyped at the beginning of the game and

period, on her way to 12 for the game. It was an important step for the sophomore, as she is working her way back from a knee injury. With AKia, weve had a lot of talks over the whole season, and getting her healthy and mentally strong thats helping her, Parks said. And I think were going to see good things from her the rest of the season. Rains, the Blue Jays deft shooter, finally found her rhythm. And once she gets rolling, its hard for her to stop. Rains knocked down three shots from downtown in the final frame as she led the Blue Jays with 14 points in the game. I think (Rains) is a fighter, Parks said.

playing music in the locker room, having a good time and came out focused, ready to play. Every member of the Blue Jays checked into the game. But more importantly, even when not on the court, the bench played a significant role in keeping the teams energy high. At every stoppage in play, they stood up and let their teammates hear their support. The bench is really our motivator, Wilds said. When theyre not hooping and hollering, its hard for us to get going. When were having a bad game and no ones talking to us, were still going to be stuck in that hole. But if our teammates on the bench get us going, forget about everything, lets just go have fun. Junction City (5-11) heads to Manhattan on Tuesday for the second leg of the rivalry. The Blue Jays will try and avenge the 35-32 loss the Indians delivered in January that began an eight game slide. (Im) very excited, Wilds said. All I can say is be ready, just be ready.
There were some certain things they were doing to her to make her put it on the floor and not get shots off so she had a tough time taking shots. But she just kept fighting and was eventually able to get some space to get some shots off. Junction City (3-11) hits the road to play Manhattan Tuesday. The Indians handed Junction City a 63-40 loss in January. Parks said his team knows what to expect from Manhattan and physically, they can match up. Theyre going to pressure us, theyre going to pound us inside, theyre going to push the ball down the floor, he said. We just have to get it out of our minds that we cant beat Manhattan. Were going to have to change mentally and understand we can play with these teams were losing too.

ding and shower gifts, regardless of the grooms prior marital history. Of course, shower invitations can be weighted toward her family and friends, but also may include close family members and friends on the grooms side. Guests who feel overburdened with shower gifts do not have to attend. And while wedding gifts are always appropriate, those who sent gifts for your sons first wedding may wish to give a more modest gift the second time around. The intention is to invite people to share the celebration. Dear Annie: I read the letter from Frustrated Son, whose mother was insisting that he be confirmed in the Catholic Church. As the director of religious education in a Catholic parish, I deal with this issue frequently. The choice to be confirmed is the sons. A good first step is for the son to talk to his parish priest, who might very well agree that he is not ready to receive the sacrament of confirmation. If that is the case, he absolutely should not be confirmed at this time. He cannot be forced, because any sacrament given against someones will is not valid. Both my children said early on in their confirmation training that they did not want to be confirmed. We compromised that they would go to the classes, do the volunteer work and go on the retreat. If, after completing the two-year training, they still felt that they did not want to be confirmed, it was their choice. Boston

Horoscope
ARIES (March 21April 19). When things are going well and the weather is fair, you will enjoy yourself, all the while cognizant that the mettle of mankind cant be tested in temperate conditions. Heroes are made in the heat of the moment. TAURUS (April 20May 20). Can you entertain a thought that you dont really believe? It doesnt make you foolish; it makes you intellectually versatile, educated or possibly in love. GEMINI (May 21June 21). If you felt like coming up with an excuse, it would take you no time to think of it. But such thinking could easily become a bad habit. Most people want to know why, but nobody wants to hear the excuse. CANCER (June 22July 22). Your need for attention is stronger than usual, and you may surprise yourself with what youre willing to do to get it. Promises could fly out of your mouth if youre not careful. When in doubt, hold back. Dont agree to anything. LEO (July 23Aug. 22). Youre not imagining things. Those who express their displeasure indirectly are still expressing their displeasure. This is dysfunctional, and you wont be able to move forward until you get to the root of it. VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22). Popular people can be powerful at times, but strictly speaking, popularity is not power. If you dont have group support or approval for what you want to do, but it feels right to you, do it anyway. Its likely to be your power move. LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 23). Give yourself a pat on the back for all that went right yesterday. Enjoy the sense of relief that comes. The hard part is over, and now you can relax into whatever the day brings. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Aim your ideas at people who seem like they have plenty of ideas of their own. An excitable, highenergy person is more likely to say yes than a cool, bored type of person. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You dont have to impress anyone. Be careful not to dangle a proverbial carrot on a stick in front of a person unless you really plan to give that person the carrot in the end. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You are highly influential in the lives of others today, even though you probably will be unaware of what they take away from the experience of knowing you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). You could get caught up in the spirit of competition. Channel it into work instead of relationships. Singles: Theres nothing to be gained from stealing a heart, so aim to win it fair and square. PISCES (Feb. 19March 20). Some urge not to sweat the small stuff, and others insist that the little things are what make the difference between an ordinary and an extraordinary existence. Happiness depends on finding your own balance in this.

alentines Day was yesterday and it brought to mind a pioneer love story. In 1854 it became known that Pawnee was to be the site of the Territorial Capitol and people began flocking there. The first legislative session was scheduled to take place there in July of 1855. The site was located near the edge of Fort Riley and almost overnight a town sprang up. There were workers who came to build the homes and buildings needed for the new town. There were also entrepreneurs and adventure seekers coming to see what new opportunities they would find. Many brought their families with them to this new territory. Among these were the Berry and Wallace families, emigrants from Juniata, Pa. They came to seek their fortunes in the newlyopened territory.

profile Holocaust deniers. She said some people wrongly assumed authorities considered the groups lyrics in imposing the ban. If we banned people who used swear words, we wouldnt have many people left in New Zealand, she said. In an official statement, Immigration New Zealand said: Odd Future has been deemed to be a potential threat to public order and the public interest for several reasons, including incidents at past performances in which they have incited violence. In the 2011 incident, Tyler, The Creator was signing autographs at a comic store when police were called because of the large number of fans. News reports at the time said some people climbed on the roof and shouted insults at the police, and some viewed that as inciting fans to attack. Urwin said an Odd Future group member in Australia also tweeted details of a woman campaigning to have the group banned, which resulted in her receiving threats. In 2012, New Zealand banned former heavyweight boxing champion and convicted rapist Mike Tyson from coming to a speaking engagement due to his criminal history. Last year it banned musician David Rovics, citing his blog posts on drug-taking and a Canadian ban for giving false information to immigration officials there. Clancy said the group also had trouble with protesters that led to the nixing of an appearance a Big Day Out in 2012. The group scheduled another show instead at a club, then toured the country, which he said they fell in love with. He said he wishes those who are protesting their visit could sit with them for a day. I live with these kids, Clancy said. They hang around my 6-year-old daughter. They hold her hand when they cross the street. ... All these kinds of judgments. The last time we were there they were homophobic. These are the least judgmental kids Ive been around in my life.

odern homesteading, growing your own crops and raising animals for food, is becoming more and more popular, and one aspect of this trend to be more selfsufficient is the raising of chickens. If this aspect interests you, plan to attend a series of free classes on raising chickens offered through the L.I.F.E. (Learning is for Everyone) program at the library. Raising Chickens I: Starting Off Right is a class for adults and families scheduled for Feb. 20 at 7 p.m. at the Library Corner, 238 W. Eighth Street. Whether you are looking at homesteading, wanting to raise meat for the family, or simply love eggs, there are many things that you should know in order to be successful. In other words, dont commit to poultry until you know the basics. And, if your future chicken project involves children, bring them along. This class will take you from the decision-making process to the baby chicks. The Raising Chickens I: Starting Off Right class will be repeated on April 20 at 7 p.m. at the library corner if you are unable to attend the February class.

seen together once, in a flashback to the beginning of their foursome, their intertwined friendships and long history are cleverly illustrated through Margulies trenchant dialogue in a series of brief, telling scenes. Thoughtful, straightforward direction of an expressive cast by Pam MacKinnon allows characters to silently reveal their reactions to disturbing epiphanies. Tom and Beth, (Darren Pettie and Heather Burns), getting unamicably divorced, seem immature and uncommunicative. Their happily settled, food-obsessed friends Gabe and Karen, (outstanding portraits by Jeremy Shamos and Marin Hinkle), are deeply concerned with their friends situations, but soon find themselves nervously examining the potential fragility of their own marriage.

SALT LAKE CITY The 13 finalists unveiled Thursday for a board that will oversee the redistribution of about 750 homes and parcels of property in Warren Jeffs polygamous sect on the Utah-Arizona border includes nine members of the community but no current followers of Jeffs. The list was announced by Utah Third District Court Judge Denise Lindberg, who made public the names of candidates who passed background checks and met minimum requirements set out by judicial order. There were 24 people who applied. The homes in the trust are part of a trust that has been tied up in the courts since it was seized by Utah in 2005 over allegations of mismanagement by Jeffs and other leaders of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The states goal has always been to return the homes and a scattering of property worth an estimated $118 million to community members. The creation of board is a key step toward a resolution. The public has seven days to send comments about the candidates. After that, Lindberg will meet with the finalists with a goal of picking a board of five, seven or nine people. There is no set time limit on making a decision. If she doesnt think she can put together a group of people who will act independently and in the best interests of everyone with a stake in the trust, Lindberg could scrap the idea of forming the board and keep the trust in the courts hands. Bruce Wisan, a Salt Lake City accountant who was put in charge of the trust and knows the community well, doesnt think that will happen. He said nine of them live in Colorado City, Ariz., or Hildale, Utah, collectively known as Short Creek. Three of the applicants have been members of an advisory board that has

MONTGOMERY, Ala. The Alabama Senate approved a bill Thursday that the sponsor said will keep education about Christmas and Hanukkah in public schools. The bill by Republican Sen. Gerald Allen of Tuscaloosa upset the Senates black members when the Senate refused by a two-vote margin to amend Allens bill to add the African-American celebration of Kwanza. I pray for the day when we can have an Alabama Legislature sensitive to all the people of Alabama, Senate Democratic Minority Leader Vivian Davis Figures of Mobile said. Allens bill allows schools to educate students about the history of traditional winter celebrations and allows student and staff to exchange traditional greetings. Schools are often mistaken that any reference to Christianity and religious activities are prohibited. This will brings clarity, Allen said. The Senate passed his bill 3x5.5 8/13/02 4:41 PM House Page 1 22-7 and sent it to the for consideration. A large religious lobbying group supported the bill. Joe Godfrey, executive director

ate blocked him on a voice vote. Then he tried to add only Kwanza and lost 10-12. Some Democratic opponents of Allens bill said it is an election-year gimmick for Republicans and is certain to get challenged in court. The ACLUs Watson said Allens bill and a similar bill introduced in the House by Republican Rep. April Weaver of Pelham run the risk of opening school districts up to costly and time-consuming litigation. In additional to traditional greetings, the bill allows public schools to display nativity scenes or menorahs, but any religious display must include either a symbol of another religion or a secular symbol, such as Santa Claus. Proponents said that is already done in some schools, but the bill will give comfort to school officials concerned about what might be permissible. Eric Mackey, executive director of School Superintendents of Alabama, said his group isnt taking a position on the bill, but school superintendents havent reported any problems to him. I dont think it is needed, he said. Mackey said hes also concerned about unintended consequences.

here are a lot of self-help books out there for gardening. There are dozens of gardening magazines, websites, blogs and other information. Naturally I have to also say that some of the best help available for local gardeners is going to be the information that we have for free at the Geary County Extension Office, 119 E. Ninth St. Lots of bulletins about flower gardening, vegetable gardening, lawns and ornamentals. But when you come right down to it, a lot of gardening is really all about the basics. But the basics here on the plains of Kansas are different than the basics in Texas, or Pennsylvania, or Chicago, or many other places where they publish gardening books and magazines. So following are some basic tips that I tell all vegetable and flower gardeners.
live for lists. Rather, I have a better life because I have lists to keep me on track. Most of us have standard lists we create. We make lists for groceries, errands, or bills to pay. I have even been known to keep paper by the bed so I can make a list of the tasks I keep thinking about that are keeping me awake at night. Did you notice I said we create lists and make lists while omitting the word use in my introduction about lists? The reason we create lists is typically because we have too much to do and have too little time to get it done. It is frustrating to get a late notice because we forgot to drop a check in the mail or because we neglected to take care of it through online bill paying. The service charges tacked on for late payments can add up fast. None of us have time to stare at the grocery store shelf trying to remember what else we were supposed to pick up (Okay, I am guilty
As I mentioned above, I keep a spreadsheet list of my monthly bills. Not only do I have this saved on my computers hard drive, I keep a printed copy with my checkbook register so that I have access to it when I am paying bills. Keep the list secure, though. You dont want to leave it out where someone might accidently throw it away or misplace it for you.
I really tried to keep a grocery list on my iPod, but it just didnt work for me. I like to write on my lists, and the iPod doesnt work
Not all tasks are tackled weekly or monthly. Some tasks are seasonal, such as winterizing the home or planning your garden. March 20 is the first day of spring, and it wont be long before you can get your spring home maintenance list out for spring cleaning. There is an excellent home maintenance list
