Storefront windows of the Military Outlet were busted out and display items were left blackened after a fire ripped through the building late Wednes-day night.
The first floor of the building, located at 722 N. Washington St., was gutted by the blaze. The other floors received fire and smoke damage. Two neigh-boring businesses also were damage by smoke.
The building housed the Military Outlet store on its first floor and the Masonic Lodge on the second and third floors.
The Junction City Fire Department estimates a preliminary loss of more than $300,000 in damage.
Junction City firefighters were called to the fire at about 11:25 p.m. Wednesday

The Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce wants to help the commu-nity keep a clean, vibrant image and adopt a market-able brand.
Next week, chamber offi-cials, area government lead-ers and the public will gath-er to discuss how to accom-plish these goals at a com-munity forum.
The summer community forum event is scheduled for noon to 4 p.m. Aug. 29 on the second floor of the C.L. Hoover Opera House. Regis-tration is $15 and includes lunch.
The first major discus-sion of the forum will focus on the importance of main-taining a community image that’s attractive to potential

Board governance session new
this yearBefore the community forum
kicks off at noon Aug. 29, the cham-ber will host a free session at 10:30 a.m. specifically with governing bodies in mind.
The meeting, which will be held in the lower level lobby of the C.L. Hoover Opera House, will focus on ways to effectively operate a gov-erning body or board of directors.
Kansas State University Geary County Extension Agent Chuck Otte will facilitate the session.
Chamber Activities Director Nikki Davies said many people already have shown interest.
“We’ve actually had a lot of feed-back from folks that are just inter-ested in what they (the facilitators) have to say,” she said.
Though the session is focused on board governance, the event is open to the public.

While visiting the Smith-sonian National Air and Space Museum, William “Bill” Stahl was thanked for his service in the U.S. military. Shortly after the woman there spoke, he leaned toward his daugh-ter Marsha Mechtley.
“Do you think I should tell her what a poor shot I was,” Stahl said with smile.
Bill was one of several veterans who recently travelled to Washington D.C. for the Kansas Honor Flight program. The trip allows the vets to see memorials built in their honor.
“It was great,” Bill said during an interview earlier this week. “We had a real good time.”
Bill was nominated for the trip by Junction City Commissioner Jim Sands.
As a teenager, Bill fought for his country and for the freedom of others. But on a cold wintery day in Europe — his freedom was snatched from him.
Born in 1925, Bill was raised in Junction City by his father Edward Stahl, a Union Pacific railroader and his mother, Reta. He
was drafted immediately after high school at the age of 18 after receiving a let-ter.
“It was rough,” Bill said.
There was a war and Bill knew he was going to be shipped overseas. But Bill and his comrade-in-arms were ready. They knew what they were fighting for.
“We were very patriotic ...,” Bill said.
He received military training at Fort Carson in Colorado and became a machine gun operator for the 106th Division, carry-ing ammunition.
In World War II, Bill went behind enemy lines
to scout or spy. It was dan-gerous and Bill was by himself.
During that time, Bill had no idea he would be in the middle of “The Battle of the Bulge,” one of the costliest battles for the armed forces.
It started Dec. 16, 1944, when the German army attacked for Adolf Hitler’s last bid to reverse the vic-tory of D-Day and Ameri-ca’s allied forces invading northern France.
The Germans were try-ing to take St. Vith, Bel-gium, and its networks of roads. Bill and his com-rades were surrounded.
But they kept fighting.
A real honor

A recent discharge of water from the city’s south-west water treatment plant into the Smoky Hill River has caused some concerns for health officials.
On Friday morning, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment reported via Twitter the city issued a public health advisory for the Smoky Hill and Kansas rivers due to elevated levels of bacteria.
The advisory states that people, livestock and other animals should limit con-tact with the Smoky Hill River downstream of Junc-tion City and the Kansas River until further notice.
The advisory extends through the portion of the Smoky Hill River that com-bines to form the Kansas River and the Kansas River
to the Missouri line. Junction City Public
Works Director Greg McCaf-fery told The Daily Union Friday afternoon the dis-charge into the Smoky River on Thursday morning was partially-treated water.
McCaffery said the waste-water went through the pri-mary and secondary treat-ments, but was not treated in the final chlorination stage, which kills the rest of the bacteria in the water.
A pump malfunction in that part of the treatment plant resulted in the water being discharged without the remaining bacteria being removed.
McCaffery said the bacte-ria numbers are elevated and the health departments are very precautious when it comes to situations such as these.

Birth Announcements
Col. Jeffrey Broadwater is apologetic for “rattling the windows” every time his 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team heads out to train in the open spaces at Fort Riley.
But it is necessary.“That is what we have
to do to prepare for this global availability that we must be ready in the case the brigade is deployed for that,” Broadwater told those in attendance at Thursday’s Military Affairs Council break-fast.
Recent noise at Fort Riley as well as the win-dow rattling and explo-sions in winter also were courtesy of Broadwater’s soldiers. In the coming months, they will be out again firing the tanks and working the fighting vehi-cles.
However, Broadwater wasn’t there to talk about those booms and blasts in preparation for deploy-ment to fighting zones. Instead, Broadwater focused his discussion on his brigade’s mission in Africa.
United States Africa Command, in concert with interagency and international partners, builds defense capabili-ties, responds to crisis, and deters and defeats transnational threats in order to advance U.S. national interests and promote regional securi-ty, stability, and prosper-ity.
Broadwater talked about the brigade being “regionally alligned,” which he said is the first in the Army and means they have two missions — ones like AFRICOM, but also to be ready for any war fighting deploy-ment.
“We have to be ready to execute any mission,” he said.
Focusing on the AFRI-COM mission, Broadwa-ter said recently there was an operation in which 37 percent of his brigade was on the continent of Africa, a total of 1,500. He said that is the largest number that have been there from Fort Riley, but it is scaleable and differ-ent then when an entire brigade is typically deployed for war fight-ing.
During this operation, which also included the Navy, Air Force and Marines, Fort Riley’s con-tingency commanded some operations. Howev-er, Broadwater was quick to point out the South African Army took the lead in many facets.
He said all that is done by the US military and other countries on the continent must be in line with what the host nation desires.
Significant prepara-tions come into play before soldiers head to the continent of Africa. The training is called “Dagger University.”
That’s where the sol-diers receive information on the countries they are
going to and that is quite a challenge because there are 54 on the continent of Africa. They also learn about the culture, envi-ronmental concerns, situ-ational training and force protection in a different atmosphere.
He also talked about the challenges associated with
being on a continent that is four times the size of the United States.
Broadwater talked about it being winter on one end and 126 degrees on the other. Other issues include limited internet availability, except for in South Africa.
Broadwater talked about the overall mission in Africa and cited a statement made
by President Barack Obama.
“He said the United States is not there to solve the prob-lems,” he said. “We are there to partner. This is a great opportunity for us to do that.”
Broadwater said, “our sol-diers are making a differ-ence in executing these mis-sions.”

Mike Harris still is mov-ing forward in an effort to make a $7 million expan-sion at his Acorns Resort a reality.
During a Geary County Convention & Visitors Bureau Committee meet-ing this week, assistant director Rick Dykstra and Harris presented an update on the project, which would add a hotel, an indoor and outdoor restau-rant and other amenities.
Harris has obtained legal counsel, after Geary County officials made sug-gestions for him to do so. The business owner cur-rently is seeking a 10-year property tax abatement.
“It’s still not moving quite as quickly as I antici-pated or hoped for,” he said. “But I’m still trying to move forward, it just takes a little time to figure some things out.”
The request also includes a letter of sup-port for a grant to estab-lish a sewer system, request to the Kansas Department of Transpor-tation for additional high-way signage and “support-ing a change in legislation regarding resorts in state parks to include resorts on Federal lands.”
Other concerns involved not having a neighborhood revitalization plan or a tax increment financing (TIF) district for the county and the land, which is associ-ated with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
The update to the CVB committee also included a presentation about the Clinton Lake project near Lawrence, which is receiv-ing strong support from state officials and the Kan-sas Department of Wild-life, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT).
One bid from Lodgewell, LLC of Overland Park was submitted for that project so far. The deadline for submission was July 26. The business is led by developer Dave Mashburn and Dave Owen, a former state senator and lieuten-ant governor for Kansas.
His wife, Laura Owen, was the first woman appointed to the Secretary of Commerce (KDOC) for the State of Kansas.
According to informa-tion presented by Dykstra, Mashburn received rights to development 14 years ago, to develop a lake and selected Clinton. The proj-ect died in 2001, after the city of Lawrence rejected to subsidize water and sewer line cost.
Acorns expansion still a work in progress

Traci Scott’s plans for welcoming people into her recently-purchased house changed following last week’s storms.
“I should be planning a house warming party,” she said at Tuesday’s City Com-mission meeting. “Instead, I’m going to have my guests help me bail out water in the basement.”
Thanks to the Aug. 15 storms that pounded Junc-tion City with three to four inches of rain — more in other parts of town — Scott’s basement is flooded.
She’s not alone.“I don’t know what is
going on, but it sounds like there may be other people that may be dealing with something like this,” Scott said. “I’m just coming to you as a concerned resident to say maybe, hopefully, me speaking out today will pique other peoples’ inter-est and they may come and tell you what’s going on in their homes.”
Interim City Manager Cheryl Beatty acknowl-edged the recent rain has caused headaches for some homeowners in the city.
“There’s a lot of people having water issues in their basements right now for various reasons,” she told the commission.
Vice Mayor Pat Landes
said he’s had to face similar issues himself and can relate to the people dealing with flooded basements and water damage.
“I’ve had that happen twice at my house,” he said. “Unfortunately, sometimes those things happen.”
But, as Beatty said, many times there isn’t much the city can do for those folks.
“By the time it gets to my knowledge, they’re really upset because the city’s not going to pay for it,” she said. “What it boils down to is unless the city caused the backup, the city does not pay for repairs.”
In Scott’s case, Junction City Public Works Director Ray Ibarra came to her house to inspect the prob-lem.
“He told me it appeared to be my sewage pipe,” Scott said. “He said you’re going to have to have a plumber open it up, clean it out. There may be a blockage in there.”
Scott told the commission she’s OK with having to pay for that work, but hopes other people at least approach the city to see if anything can be done in their cases.
“If it turns out that there’s something that’s wrong (with city equipment), I hope that somebody will take care of it,” she said.
Bailing out their basements
By Chase Jordan
Every day thousands of travelers passing through the Flint Hills are exposed to many signs on Interstate 70.
The National Water Trails System for the Kansas River is one of them.
Rick Dykstra, assistant director of the Geary County Convention & Visitors Bureau, said those images are being stored in the minds of motorists on a conscious or subconscious level.
“Each day when we don’t have a sign signify-ing we’re the home of the Kansas River, we lose associations,” Dykstra said.
The issue of signs and the linkage of Junction City was presented to CVB committee members during a Tuesday meet-ing.
“It appears that some-times Junction City has to step out and let it be known that we want signs, too,” Dykstra said.
Kansas River signs, which include National Water Trail logos, are attached to Wamego and Manhattan, but Dykstra believes Junction City also should have one.
The river begins at the intersection of the Repub-lican and Smoky Hill riv-ers, just east of Junction City. It flows 173 miles eastward and joins the Missouri River and Kaw Point in Kansas City.
CVB Executive Direc-tor Connie Hall said the signs for the Kansas River are being put up gradually. She currently is a member of the Kan-sas River Development Committee.
Signage for the Free-dom’s Frontier National Heritage Area is another issue.
The National Park Ser-vice affiliate preserves, interprets and promotes stories of the Missouri Kansas Border War and the conflicts over slav-ery.
Geary County is one of 41 in the organization’s coverage area of Mis-souri and Kansas.
Their website, www.freedomsfrontier.org, includes a map with a Junction City marker. It leads to information about the Geary County Historical Society & Museum.
Dykstra said the his-toric organization is working on something which may take another six years to put up a sign with a logo.
To remedy the issue, Tom Weigand, Chief Executive Officer of the Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce, said the organization must involve local state representatives and the Kansas Department of Transportation.
The placement of the limestone, “Welcome To The Flint Hills” sign also was discussed by Dykstra during the meeting. He believes the current sign near Fort Riley should be placed closer to the begin-ning of the Flint Hills, near the border of Dick-inson and Saline counties.

A mold remediation com-pany’s findings published in a recent report after inspecting the Junction City Municipal Court building aren’t pretty.
A report from American Metropolitan Environmental states the company’s inspec-tion revealed both “active water intrusion though the roofing system” and “visible fungal growth identified on various building materials within the offices and rooms along the east side of the building.”
Municipal Court has been housed at 701 N. Jefferson St., the old Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce Offic-es, since Aug. 2. The current, 70-year-old facility, located at 225 W. Seventh was closed fol-lowing the discovery of a seri-ous mold problem.
The fungal growth, sus-pected to be some type of mold, could pose a health risk to courthouse employees and visitors.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Pre-vention (CDC), molds are very common in buildings and homes, growing where there is moisture. Mold expo-sure does not always cause health problems, though some people are more sensi-tive to molds.
Symptoms of mold expo-sure can include skin irrita-tion, nasal stuffiness, eye irri-tation and wheezing. Severe reactions among people exposed to large amounts of mold may include fever and shortness of breath.
Individuals with weakened immune systems and chronic lung diseases are at an increased risk for fungal infections.
The greenish-black Stachy-botrys chartarum, or black mold, is less common though not rare, according to the CDC.
Black mold grows where constant moisture is present. For the most part, the CDC advises black mold be treated and removed like any other mold, noting it’s not necessar-ily more dangerous.
Though the report doesn’t state what type of mold was found, it doesn’t mince words in describing its findings.
Upon entering the waiting room from the front of the building, the report notes a “strong, pungent, musty odor indicating the pre-existing fungal growth.”
The report also states there’s visible water damage in the waiting room and other parts of the building, includ-ing the judge’s offices, the main level hallway, restrooms, the court room, break room, public defender’s office, hold-ing cell area and basement — basically the majority of the courthouse.
JCMC building inspection
reveals mold problems
Future of building in limbo
Like the smell of mold in areas of the Municipal Court building, how much the facility’s remediation will cost still is up in the air.
No cost estimate is given in the report, but the city already is expect-ing to pay a boat load to either remediate the facility or remodel its temporary Jefferson Street location.
In the recently-approved 2014 budget, the city allotted $1.1 million in capital improvement, which Beat-ty said likely will go toward the municipal court project, which ever one the commission decides.
However, before the commission considers what step to take next, the city will review an architects cost estimate for both projects.
Those estimates are expected to be finalized soon, according to city staff.

Mexico officials ID bodies as 5 of
missing 12TLALMANALCO, Mexi-
co — Mexican authorities said Friday they have iden-tified five bodies pulled from a mass grave as some of the 12 people kidnapped three months ago from a Mexico City bar.
Assistant attorney gen-eral Renato Sales told reporters that 13 badly decomposed bodies have been pulled from a mass grave covered with cement, lime and asbestos discov-ered Thursday on a rural ranch east of Mexico City.
Officials said the remains are at federal labs, where experts are using DNA tests, and they expect to have all of them identified soon.
The young bar-goers van-ished from the Heaven club at midday May 26, just a block from the leafy Paseo de Reforma, the capital’s equivalent of the Champs-Elysees.
The bizarre disappear-ance resonated across the city of 9 million people because many had come to believe it was an oasis from the rampant drug violence that had led to discovery of mass graves elsewhere in the country.
Authorities set up a perimeter more than a mile from the excavation site on a hilly ranch known as La Negra, where federal police and attorney general’s trucks and large white vans were seen working the operation. The private property next to Rancho La Mesa Ecological Park is walled and surrounded by oak and pine trees.
The federal Attorney General’s Office said agents had received information about possible illegal weap-ons on the property and obtained a search warrant. When they started looking around, they discovered the grave.
“They found a home that looked like a safe house,” Murillo Karam told report-ers Thursday. “We were operating under the belief it was a weapons case.”
Prosecutors have said the abductions from the Heav-en bar were linked to a dis-pute between street gangs that control local drug sales in the capital’s nightclubs and bars. They say the gangs are based in Mexico City’s dangerous Tepito neighborhood, where most of the missing lived. The families insist the missing young people were not involved in drug traffick-ing.
Surveillance cameras showed several cars pulling up to the bar at midday and taking the victims away. A witness who escaped told authorities that a bar man-ager had ordered the music turned off, told patrons that authorities were about to raid the establishment and ordered those inside to
leave.Those detained in the
Heaven case include club owner Ernesto Espinosa Lobo, known as “The Wolf,” who has been charged with kidnapping, as well as another bar owner, a driver and a security guard. A fifth person, Jose de Jesus Carmona, 32, is under arrest pending charges and another is a fugitive.
In another element of the case that is reminiscent of cartel warfare, one of the owners of the Heaven bar, Dax Rodriguez Ledezma, fled authorities only to turn up dead, his body dumped and burned in a rural area with that of his girlfriend and another friend.
US: Won’t rush into Pacific trade pactWASHINGTON — The
Obama administration says it won’t sacrifice the quality of a proposed trans-Pacific trade pact in the drive to complete negotiations by year’s end.
The Trans-Pacific Part-nership, or TPP, is the key plank of a U.S. effort to boost exports to the fast-growing economies of the Asia-Pacific.
U.S. Trade Representa-tive Mike Froman spoke to reporters by phone Friday after TPP trade ministers met in Brunei.
Froman said the aim remains to complete nego-tiations by the end of 2013. But he added: “We are not rushing into an agreement to meet any particular deadline.”
The negotiations began more than 2 1/2 years ago and are said to be in their final stages. But much remains to be settled among the 12 participating nations, which account for 40 per-cent of world trade.
Haiti’s much-delayed
ice show is postponed
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Haiti’s on-again, off-again ice-skating show has been postponed again.
Organizer Francois Yrius said that half of the show’s dozen performers missed their flights to the Carib-bean nation for the show that was supposed to start
Friday. He says the per-formers are now due to arrive on Saturday, and the show should begin on Sun-day.
The four-day “Haiti on Ice” show aims to bring together several interna-tional figure skaters, including Russian-born fig-ure skater Elena Glebova and the French pair skater Yannick Bonheur.
But the performances have been postponed more than a dozen times since they were first planned for November. Young Haitians began using the ice rink this week to learn how to skate.
The delays have been blamed on problems includ-ing melting ice and a hur-ricane that brushed Haiti.
Panda gives birth to female cub at National Zoo
WASHINGTON — A giant panda at the Smithso-nian’s National Zoo in Washington has given birth to her third cub, a female.
The zoo said Mei Xiang (may-SHONG) gave birth at 5:32 p.m. Friday, two hours after her water broke. Zoo officials said panda team heard the cub vocalize and said Mei Xiang picked the cub up immediately and began cradling and caring for it.
“WE HAVE A CUB!! Born at 5:32 p.m. this evening,” the zoo tweeted.
Dennis Kelly, director of the National Zoo, said, “I’m glued to the new panda cams and thrilled to hear the squeals, which appear healthy, of our newborn cub.”
The zoo has been on round-the-clock panda watch since Aug. 7, when Mei Xiang began showing behavioral changes consis-tent with a pregnancy or pseudopregnancy.
A Chinese panda expert performed artificial insem-inations on Mei Xiang on March 30 after she failed to breed naturally with male panda Tian Tian (tee-YEN tee-YEN).
Mei Xiang had previously given birth to two cubs. Tai Shan was born in 2005 and a week-old cub died last September.
Ex-EPA official charged with
stealing nearly $900K
WASHINGTON — A for-mer high-ranking official with the Environmental Protection Agency was charged Friday with steal-ing nearly $900,000 from the agency over 13 years.
John C. Beale, a former deputy assistant adminis-trator in the Office of Air and Radiation, is accused of stealing a total of $886,186 between 2000 and April of this year.
A document filed by the Justice Department says Beale stole the money by collecting bonuses and extra salary.
Beale, 64, of Arlington, Va., faces a maximum of 10 years in prison and finan-cial penalties if convicted. He worked at the EPA for at least two decades under several presidents. He was a top deputy to EPA Admin-istrator Gina McCarthy, who headed the Air and
Radiation office from 2009 until taking over the agen-cy last month.
An agency spokeswoman said the EPA is coordinat-ing closely with its inspec-tor general and the Justice Department on the com-plaint.
Louisiana Sen. David Vit-ter, the top Republican on the Senate Environment Committee, called the accu-sations appalling.
“This fraud was occur-ring for many years at the EPA’s critical Air office, and during a period of time that Gina McCarthy was the administrator of the Air office,” Vitter said in a statement. “It’s clear that further investigations are necessary.”
A spokesman for U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen declined to comment.
A lawyer for Beale could not be reached Friday.
Manning’s gender transition sets up legal showdown
Bradley Manning is the first transgender military inmate to ask for hormone treatments, officials say, a request that could lead to a legal showdown over how — and if — the soldier con-victed in the WikiLeaks case will be allowed to live as a female behind bars.
Current Pentagon policy dictates that transgender soldiers are not allowed to serve, and Manning won’t be discharged until being released from prison and all appeals are exhausted. Furthermore, the military does not allow soldiers to undergo hormone treat-ments while in the all-male prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. — though this is the first time officials have heard of a request for such treatment, said Maria Tolle-son, a spokeswoman with the Army Medical Com-mand in Arlington, Va.
“We’re just now dealing with the issue,” she said, adding it would be prema-ture to say there has been any movement toward offering the care to all transgender inmates as a result of Manning’s case.
Manning also won’t be allowed to dress as a
woman, as wigs and bras are not allowed. The sol-dier’s gender dysphoria — the sense of being a woman in a man’s body — coupled with the military convic-tions could leave him to face an isolated future, shunned by fellow inmates and transgender veterans on the outside who believe the leaks put Manning’s comrades in danger.
It is not known whether Manning could be trans-ferred to a female prison, though defense attorney David Coombs has said that was not the motive behind the Army private’s statement Thursday ask-ing to be referred to by feminine pronouns, signed “Chelsea E. Manning.”
On NBC’s “Today” show on Thursday, Coombs vowed to “do everything in my power to make sure that they are forced” to ensure Manning is provid-ed with the hormone treat-ment, suggesting a lawsuit could be in the offing if the military doesn’t com-ply. The American Civil Liberties Union, the Human Rights Campaign, along with other advo-cates, also say Manning should get the treatment.
Coombs didn’t respond to telephone and email messages Friday from The Associated Press.
It’s not clear whether Manning directly request-ed the therapy, which typi-cally involves high doses of estrogen to promote breast development and other female characteris-tics, at Fort Leavenworth after arriving Thursday.
Fort Leavenworth spokeswoman Kimberly Lewis said Manning’s prison processing would include meeting with med-ical and mental health staff and determining where the inmate will be assigned in the popula-tion. Manning was diag-nosed with gender identity disorder by an Army clini-cal psychologist while serving in Iraq in 2010, and by a Navy psychiatrist who examined Manning last year, according to their court-martial testi-mony.

From the editor’s deskIt’s time to move
on brandingA
bout eight months ago, more than 40 Junction City and Geary County stake-holders and leaders headed to Over-
land Park for a Regional Retreat to — in part — talk about branding the community, how JC fits within the Flint Hills region and how to better communicate and work with sur-rounding municipalities.
That branding of Junction City piece, which involves deciding who we are as a city, was one of the main topics discussed during the community session that focused on Junc-
tion City only. Although there were no spe-
cific answers from that morn-ing session, there were some ideas and the intent to contin-ue the discussion upon arrival back in Junction City.
This upcoming Thursday, that branding discussion final-ly will be back on the table with community members, stakeholders and others for an
afternoon summer Community Forum held at the C.L. Hoover Opera House.
That will be part of group and roundtable discussions, which will start with a discus-sion about why it is important to brand a community.
The agenda also includes discussion on the importance of community image, which fits into those branding talks.
During the January retreat, some of the words used to describe Junction City and Geary County included “friendly, culturally-diverse, historic, growing, hidden gem, acces-sible, safe, neat, traffic friendly, small-town feel, affordable, changing, welcoming, alive, military-oriented and all-American.”
Attendees at that event agreed the area must be better at building an image and using those descriptive words is a start. From there, a brand and image must be created.
The important aspect to note is the process finally is moving forward and it must.
I am eager to hear the discussion and see the results from these talks at Thursday’s forum.
A facilitator from New Boston Creative Group will lead the discussion. It always is a good idea to bring in an outsider with no emotional stake in the community to guide these talks and keep them on track.
The key will be to not lose any momentum gained from Thursday and continue on a path to decide how to truly brand and market Junction City for growth potential.
In a January column, I suggested that meeting in Overland Park put the branding car in drive, but the brakes were still on. It’s time to let off the brakes Thursday and start rolling forward.
The future is now and Junction City lead-ers must take advantage of the opportunities by pressing down the accelerator on Thurs-day.

The old daysOne of the highlights of my sum-
mer experience was the 50th reunion of my graduating class
from St. Brigid elementary school on Long Island. Back in 1963, 60 children sat in a small classroom hoping for big things in the future. We had spent eight years together, but now high school beckoned, and all of our lives would change dramatically.
Back then, America was a far differ-ent place than it is today. John F. Ken-nedy was president but had fewer than six months to live. The Beatles were just emerging. Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds” was scaring everybody in the movie theaters. “The Andy Griffith Show” dominated on TV. There was no war, but civil unrest in the South was intense. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was making great strides in securing human rights for black Americans.
Twenty-two of my classmates made the reunion, and it was good to see all of them. Their lives have unfolded in mostly conventional ways. Most remain in the middle class and still believe in the fundamental goodness of their country and religion, although some are no longer practicing Catholics.
The reunion deal is the same all over. Folks who don’t succeed in life often don’t show up. The happy people usu-ally come armed with pictures of their
children and grandchildren. My reunion was very family focused.
Many of my classmates have led interesting lives, but unfortunately, I was the center of much attention. My visibility on television engendered much discussion, and I was happy to answer their questions. Since I was always a loudmouth, my classmates delighted in reminding me that I haven’t changed a bit and pointed out that only in America could I be well paid for doing something that got me a slap from Sister Thomas way back when.
The thing that is so different today is that children have little time to be inno-cent. We only had each other at St. Brigid. There were no cell phones, com-puters or video games. There was no Facebook. In fact, outside intrusions were rare. We played games like dodge-ball and keep away. We attended square dances and Christmas concerts. It was all so basic, so simple. And there was a
magic to it.Today, children are thrust into an
adult world at warp speed. I remember a kid named Billy McDermott explain-ing to me and the other 8th-graders that his older brother knew some girls who were “easy.” Easy? We were all confused. And so was Billy as he strug-gled to define the term.
Today, many 8th-graders are think-ing about tattoos and drugs. We all know how graphic the Internet is, and believe me, kids know how to access this stuff. So I ask you: Wasn’t it better to be a kid in 1963? By the way, the answer is yes.
I feel sorry for the urchins these days. Responsible parents can mitigate some of the cultural damage but not all. We are living in fast times, in an era of selfishness and narcissism in which lowbrow entertainment envelops chil-dren like the chilly fog of San Francis-co.
Good memories are forever. I had them back in 1963.

Young Americans have challenges — race not one of them
After half a century, the March on Washington has moved into the historical record as a coura-
geous but hardly radical event. It is widely remembered for Martin Luther King’s brilliant extemporaneous riffs on “I Have a Dream.” But even a peace-ful assembly by “Negroes,” as black Americans were then known, was a dangerous idea in a volatile era.
President John F. Kennedy was dead-set against it, and protest planners were careful about choosing their allies for fear of informants to the Kennedy administration and his Federal Bureau of Investigation. Civil rights leaders formally demoted their best strategist, Bayard Rustin — though he continued to do most of the work — because he was openly gay and a one-time Com-munist, either of which would have been ammunition for those who want-ed to derail the civil rights movement.
The march succeeded, though, per-haps beyond its organizers’ wildest dreams. A solemn demonstration of the power of black Americans’ simple plea for full citizenship, it proved to be one of the pivotal episodes of the civil rights movement. Its success in setting the stage for the Voting Rights Act shaped politics for the next 50 years, helping to propel President Barack Obama into office.
In the current political climate, it’s easy enough to minimize the remark-able progress toward full equality that the nation has made since 1963. It’s true that racism lives on, re-energized by pandering politicians and media demagogues. The criminal justice sys-tem is replete with discriminatory practices. Pernicious stereotypes still shadow the lives of black Americans.
Most damning, black workers have
come no closer to closing the economic gap than they had in 1963. The Wash-ington Post recently cited figures from the Economic Policy Institute showing that the unemployment rate was 5 per-cent for whites and 10.9 percent for blacks 50 years ago. The yawning gap remains today, with unemployment at 6.6 percent for whites and 12.6 percent for blacks, according to the Post. Fur-thermore, over the past 30 years, the average white family has gone from having five times as much wealth as the average black family to 6 1/2 times, the Post said.
Still, it’s disrespectful to those hardy and brave souls who stood on the Mall 50 years ago to suggest that little has changed. The nation has undergone a remarkable transformation in five decades, as the two elections of a black president attest.
Black men and women now hold positions of influence and authority throughout academia, business and the professions.
They lead the U.S. armed forces. They are cultural icons, some so popu-lar they are known simply by their first names.
The everyday interactions of Ameri-cans from different racial and ethnic groups have changed, as well. Interra-cial marriage is broadly accepted, and biracial children are a growing part of
the population. Schools may not be as well-integrated as King had dreamed, but they are much more diverse than they were 50 years ago. So are churches and civic clubs.
Even the angry backlash by tea par-tiers and other sectors of the far right is a sign of changing times. Much of the hysteria that is lathered up by right-wing talk show hosts such as Rush Limbaugh is a last surge of pro-test by an aging demographic: older whites who resent or fear the changes fostered by the civil rights movement.
The country is growing browner, and by mid-century, whites will no longer constitute a majority of the population. As a voting bloc and cultural influence, their power is waning. And they know it.
The good news is that younger whites are much more likely to embrace diver-sity, to accept cultural change, and to support the nation’s civic creed of full equality for all, regardless of race, reli-gion or sexual orientation. Polling data show they diverge from the views of their parents and grandparents on many social issues.
Of course, younger Americans will have their struggles, too — their bitter disagreements and their political chal-lenges. And they will have to tackle the economic injustices around which King planned his last crusade.
But they seem less likely to forge a future cleaved by color, and that’s worth celebrating.

A Geary County man was transported by Lifestar heli-copter to Stormont-Vail Hospital in Topeka Thurs-day after he was run over by a small tractor.
At about 1:18 p.m., the Geary County Sheriff’s Department responded to a call advising Lawrence Kientz, who officials said is in his 80s, suffered injuries after his tractor somehow ran over him.
The incident happened in the 3100 block of S. Dietrich Road, close to the intersec-tion of Dietrich Road and Old Highway 40.
On Friday, Geary County Sheriff Tony Wolf said
Kientz was found at his resi-dence, where he was “in some pain” but was alert and able to communicate with the responding depu-ty.
“We’re thinking that pos-sibly he had some broken ribs, possibly a broken ster-num,” Wolf said.
The Junction City Fire Department and EMS responded to the call.
Wolf said JCFD person-nel advised Kientz should be life flighted to Stormont-Vail because of the nature of his injuries, which could have been accompanied by internal injuries.
Stormont-Vail officials said Kientz was listed in “satisfactory condition” as of Friday morning.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — A northwest Missouri man has filed a lawsuit accusing Kansas City Power & Light of negligence in its over-sight of the solar-panel rebate program.
The lawsuit was filed in Buchanan County Circuit Court this month by St. Joseph resident Richard Sharp, listing KCP&L, St. Joseph-based U.S. Solar and its owner Trevor Dryden as defendants, The St. Joseph News-Press reported.
The lawsuit seeks dam-ages for breach of contract, negligence and other alleged violations.
KCP&L spokesman Chuck Caisley said utility officials “vigorously deny”
the allegations.“This was a transaction
between two private par-ties,” Caisley said. “This is a resident who chose U.S. Solar and is now unhappy with what happened between them and U.S. Solar. It has very little to do with KCP&L.”
A message left at a home listing under Dryden’s name was not immediately
returned, and calls to U.S. Solar seeking comment were not answered Friday.
The utility has offered residential and commercial customers in Missouri a $2.00 per watt rebate for using solar technology for their homes and business-es, according to its website.
In the 62-page complaint that was filed Aug. 15, Sharp says he took part in KCP&L’s
Solar Electric rebate pro-gram and chose U.S. Solar to install the systems. The complaint accuses U.S. Solar of installing inopera-ble systems that could not be connected to KCP&L’s electric system. Sharp also accuses KCP&L of breach of contract for failing to properly verify that the solar systems were opera-tional.

Hartland Hearing Care Center’s is excit-ed to announce that its owners and staff recently attended the Audibel Regional Advanced Fitting and Technology Seminar in Kansas City, Missouri.
The regional conference featured several topics including tinnitus treatment options, counseling and education tools for tinni-tus, techniques for optimizing patient satis-faction, advanced fitting techniques and new digital technology for Audibel devic-es.
Audibel believes that Hearing Health-care Professionals can best serve their patients if they are specialized in just one brand. As treatment technology has advanced, it is no longer enough to sell a superior device. Audibel believes that Pro-fessionals must also be masters of technol-ogy, fitting techniques and counseling
skills in order to improve a patient’s bene-fit. Therefore all Audibel dispensers are exclusive to Audibel and are offered several exclusive continuing education seminars.

Dear Annie: You fre-quently print the essay “Dead at Seventeen” by John Berrio, about the dan-gers of reckless driving by teenagers.
I’ve written a version of it that addresses the grow-ing danger posed by older drivers who should no lon-ger be driving.
For political reasons, I suspect the chance of any meaningful legislation being passed is slim.
The only hope is for peo-ple to read this and realize that, yes, unfortunately, it applies to them.
An unsafe driver is a dan-ger to everyone on the road, the sidewalk or in a restau-rant.
A few years ago, a senior driver plowed into a crowd at a farmers’ market, kill-ing 10 and injuring 70.
When I took Drivers’ Ed as a teenager, they gave us a copy of “Dead at Seven-teen” at the end of the course.
Perhaps the AARP could hand out this essay at their Driver Safety courses or adult children can give this to their parents. — Paul O. Ketro, M.D., Massachu-setts General Hospital, Instructor in Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston
Killed at Seven I am in agony. He is a sta-
tistic. He is one of many, many others whose bodies are as badly mangled as his — their category is called “Killed by Senior Drivers.”
The day I killed him was an ordinary day.
How I wish that I had taken the bus.
But I was too good for the bus.
I remember how I ignored my adult children, who begged me not to drive any-more. I said, “All of my friends drive. I want my independence. I want to be my own boss.”
I don’t remember how the accident happened.
The last thing I recall was that a younger adult passed me — he seemed to be going so fast. I guess I was just kidding myself by thinking that if I only drove slowly and on familiar streets, I could still drive safely.
Later on, I found out that a child had run out ahead of my car chasing a ball. I didn’t really see him. My vision isn’t that great any-more — but I can renew my driver’s license by mail, so my vision doesn’t get checked very often. I felt a bump on the car, and I heard a scream. Then the
boy hit my windshield, and I finally noticed him. Glass flew everywhere.
Suddenly it was very quiet. The boy was lying on the road, his body mangled. Pieces of jagged glass were sticking out all over. Then there were sirens. The ambulance arrived, and they pulled a sheet over the boy’s head.
Hey! Don’t pull that sheet over his head! He’s only 7! He has a ball game this afternoon. He was supposed to have a wonderful life ahead of him. He hasn’t lived yet. He can’t be dead.
His mother was there. She was heartbroken. His father came out, too — they’re my neighbors. He suddenly looked very old. I told the police officer that the gas pedal had gotten stuck — because that’s what older drivers often say when they hit someone.
It’s a small town, and everyone is in a daze.
People see me and look away.
No one can believe it.I can’t believe it, either.
I’ve read about older driv-ers who plow into crowds, but I never thought it would be me.
Please, somebody — wake him up! I can’t bear to see his mom and dad in such pain.
Please don’t bury him! He’s not dead! He has a lot of living to do! He wants to laugh and run again. Please don’t put him in the ground. I promise if you give me just one more chance, God, I won’t drive again. All I want is one more chance. Please, God, he was only 7.

ARIES (March 21—April 19). Do you know how to buy a car, negoti-ate interest rates or plan a party? You’ll pick up a new skill such as one of these if you say “yes” to today’s unusual request.
TAURUS (April 20—May 20). You’re still deciding whom you can trust. Take your time; there’s no rush. Furthermore, the one who tries to make you believe there is a rush is the least trustworthy of the group.
GEMINI (May 21—June 21). The one who limits questions is not being generous. There is too much infor-mation, and much of it will slip past if you don’t bother to inquire. So bother. Inquire.
CANCER (June 22—July 22). Keep-ing to yourself will be limiting. But do you dare to join that group of laughing, talking strangers? You have more in common with this group than you think, but you’ll never know until you break in.
LEO (July 23—Aug. 22). The skills you apply every day are so much a part of who you are that you don’t even recognize them as anything special. But someone will point out to you today that you have more skills than you think.
VIRGO (Aug. 23—Sept. 22). Peo-ple may act in thoughtless ways, but it only takes one strong leader to bring up the level of the whole group. Your example will have an effect, and you will truly be an asset to your community.
LIBRA (Sept. 23—Oct. 23). Just because it’s your nature to weigh all of the options doesn’t mean you always enjoy the process. Tell any-one who is trying to speed the pro-cess that you have a prodigious mind and won’t easily make it up.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24—Nov. 21). Deception is a strain on relation-ships. Those who deceive each other will not be satisfied in each other’s company. This is one of the many reasons why you’re in love with truth—telling even if it stings.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22—Dec. 21). Like an expert magician, you’ll take charge of directing people’s atten-tion toward the colorful distractions so you can handle the business that allows you to pull off the trick.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22—Jan. 19). While it’s important to have an intel-ligent plan, it’s more important to make your move. Thinkers may hesi-tate too long. It’s the person who acts who will make it to the goal.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20—Feb. 18). Today, attractive deals can be as infatuating as attractive people. Your interest will be piqued by the idea of raising your lifestyle to a new level. Take time with this decision.
PISCES (Feb. 19—March 20). You like to learn new things, but right now you feel like you don’t have space in your brain for anything you can’t apply to real life. Fortunately, you’ll come across knowledge that you can apply immediately.

Leave no Trace
NEW YORK — Emily Oster isn’t a baby doctor. She’s an economist and a mom who wanted to know more about all those rules handed down to women after the pregnancy stick goes pink.
Only two cups of coffee a day! No alcohol. Beware deli meats.
Being pregnant, she said, felt a lot like being a child, so she decided to take a deep dive into research covering everything from wine and weight gain to prenatal test-ing and epidurals. What she found was some of the main-stays of pregnancy advice are based on inconclusive or downright faulty science.
To this data-cruncher, an associate professor in the University of Chicago’s business school, those magi-cal nine months became a question of correlation and causation.
Some of her conclusions? Weight gain during preg-nancy is less important than a woman’s starting weight and not gaining enough may be more harmful. Light drinking is fine (up to two glasses of wine a week in the first trimester and up to a glass a day in the second and third trimesters). And much of the evidence sup-ports having three to four cups of coffee daily, which made Oster very, very happy.
There’s more, of course, and not all of it runs coun-ter to standard medical advice. And she happily reports in “Expecting Bet-ter,” her book corralling all the research for other women to share, that her 2-year-old daughter, Penelo-pe, is healthy and happy.
The book, from Penguin Press, is out this week. A conversation with Oster:
AP: Have you written the
“Freakonomics” of preg-nancy?
Oster: I think it’s right that it feels a little bit like ‘Freakonomics’ because Steve (Levitt) and I are both economists, but the goal here was really to write down an approach that was right for me. The approach being thinking carefully through all of these deci-sions, getting the best data that you can and then struc-turing the decision in a way that takes into account your personal preferences, toler-ance for risk and all the kinds of things that we should be thinking about every day.
AP: Do you anticipate blowback from women and doctors because you’re an economist and not a medi-cal professional who helps manage pregnancies?
Oster: For sure but I cer-tainly do not envision women reading this book and saying, ‘Oh, like, I can deliver my own baby now, right?’ I think that there’s a real sense in which preg-nancy should be something that you do with your doc-tor, but I think that for a lot of women the time you have with your doctors is limited and it can be difficult to get all of the answers to your questions.
AP: Are most pregnant women ill-informed? Are doctors and other pregnan-cy professionals lax in keep-ing up to date on research that might lead to more spe-cific recommendations?
Oster: I think we see sometimes where practice lags behind recommenda-tions. Not all practitioners, obviously. As an example, in the case of prenatal testing, even though more recent recommendations don’t favor the 35-year-old cutoff as much, that’s still a highly practiced thing, so I think there’s a sense in which there is some slow creep of knowledge.
I actually think pregnant women are really well-informed but I think that there’s a tremendous amount of confusing and conflicting information out there. You could read every pregnancy book and every pregnancy website and come away thinking on some topics I have no idea what the real facts are.
AP: Isn’t that what the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecol-ogists is for? They have committees to vet research and keep up to date.
Oster: Yeah, it is, and actually in a lot of cases I found that women would do quite well to read the ACOG opinions. There were a few cases where I thought per-haps they were overly cau-tious but actually there’s a lot of settings in which I think that would be a great place to start. There are certainly times in which practice hasn’t really caught up to those opinions.
A lot of the choices that women need to make in pregnancy, it’s sort of not possible for ACOG to tell them the right answer. For example, if you think about prenatal testing you’re thinking about a case in which you’re trading off more information about the baby for some small risk of miscarriage.

after police officers responded to a burglary alarm from the building but arrived to find flames and smoke emerging from the structure.
According to a report from the fire department, crews first entered the front of the building but encountered extreme heat conditions, forcing them to withdraw.
Firefighters then repo-sitioned behind the build-ing while additional crews performed search and res-cue and ventilation opera-tions.
No injuries to the public or firefighters were
reported.After releasing heat and
smoke from the flaming structure, crews were able to return to the front of the building and bring the fire under control in about two hours.
The JCFD was assisted by the Fort Riley and Geary County fire depart-ments, the Junction City Police Department and Junction City Public Works.
The cause of the fire remained unknown as of Friday morning.
Investigators from the State Fire Marshal’s Office in Topeka were called in to determine the cause.
Fire Marshall’s Office Investigator Lamar Shoe-maker said it’s common for the office to get
involved to determine whether the cause of a fire is criminal.
“We’re criminally based so, naturally, if we find there’s no incendiary evi-dence, then we’ll halt the investigation so other investigators can come in,” he said.
Shoemaker said the fire appears to have originated toward the rear of the building.
Late Thursday after-noon, Junction City Fire Chief Kevin Royse said the Fire Marshal’s Office had wrapped up its investiga-tion.
However, the cause of the fire still wasn’t known.
“As of now, we’re still working on some stuff,” Royse said.

After a while, there was no food or ammunition. When he heard the last clip click from his M-1, he became confused.
He remembers looking down a hill and shrapnel-injured hands as he hid behind a tree.
Bill was captured Dec. 19. “It was very humiliating,” Bill
said about surrendering. On that day Bill became a pris-
oner of war. With family members, he
reflected on some of the horrors he faced for about four months.
In the prison camp, the enemy broke his nose with the butt of a gun.
He was ridiculed and shamed for having a German last name.
Needles were stuck in his arm and he had no idea what was going into his body.
Along with other men, Bill was put on a boxcar. On Christmas Eve, it was strafed by ally forces. Bill recalls a soldier killed in the car next to him and others were wounded.
They were locked in the car for two or three more days.
After being freed and returning to America, he went on with life.
He attended Washburn Univer-sity and studied law. While attend-ing the school, he worked as a painter and a taxi driver. He also was the leader of a five-piece band.
Bill soon returned to Junction City and was an attorney for 60
years. He became active with several
organizations. Some of which include the local
American Legion and the NE Kansas Battle of the Bulge Veter-ans Organizations.
Throughout his trip in D.C.,
Bill was commended for his ser-vice, but his daughter Marsha and wife Mary Lou said it’s some-thing he doesn’t like to brag about.
“When you actually live with someone who made those brave sacrifices, you understand the
importance, even though he doesn’t feel like that,” Marsha said.
Family members often have to drag the stories out of him. Mar-sha recalled attending a veteran’s meeting with her father.
“When they began to talk about it, you can see the 18 and 19-year-old boys talking,” she said. “Some of their stories started to get to me.”
Going to the landlocked Euro-pean country of Luxembourg was probably the best gift she’s ever received.
Inside a famous chapel where Gen. George Patton gave his famous prayer, a medal of honor was pinned on Bill.
“Just seeing the Luxemburg people it almost makes you realize that we’re not very grateful for what these guys do every day,” she said.
Bill was also awarded the Purple Heart, ETO Ribbon, and three Bat-tle Stars, American Defense Ser-vice Ribbon and Good Conduct Medal.
Marsha said he continued to keep his sense of humor through-out the years.
“He never let horror define him,” Marsha said. “That’s some-thing we can all take a lesson from.”

new businesses.“We’re also going to present the new land-
scape ordinance proposal,” Chamber Activi-ties Director Nikki Davies said. “(Planning and Zoning Director) David Yearout has been working very hard on it with us.”
The next discussions topic will be how to develop a brand that everyone, including local government officials and the public, can buy into.
Chamber Economic Development Special-ist Susan Jagerson said a brand, like a good image, is beneficial to the community.
“A brand positions your community in the mind of your target audience and gives a con-sistent message from everyone,” she said.
The goal of the branding session, Davies
said, is to “open the doors” to begin a cam-paign and develop a strategy.
The community branding discussion also will lead into the annual regional chamber retreat, which is expected to be held in Janu-ary in Overland Park.
In the past, government and chamber offi-cials from Junction City, Manhattan and Wamego have attended the regional event.
Davies said one of the topics expected to be discussed at that retreat is how to develop a regional brand, which fits well with the local forum’s goal.
“This is a good time for us to have that dis-cussion before we go to the regional retreat,” she said.
Other topics expected to be discussed at next week’s forum include a Fort Riley update from Brig. Gen. Sean Swindell, a review of last year’s forum and a review of the previous regional chamber retreat.

McCaffery said the equipment has been repaired temporarily and he expects a per-manent repair to be made next week.
He said the chlorina-tion system is working and wastewater will be treated fully before it is discharged into the Smoky Hill River.
McCaffery said the part of the plant that malfunctioned is about
15 years old and it is part of the capital improve-ment plans that are
expected to be discussed next month by the City Commission.PumP

Rays obtain OF DeJesus from
NationalsThe Tampa Bay Rays have
acquired outfielder David DeJe-sus from Washington just four days after the Nationals picked him up from the Chicago Cubs.
Washington will receive a player or cash considerations in the deal announced on Friday.
DeJesus is expected to join the Rays before they host the New York Yankees on Friday night. He was acquired by the Nationals on Monday and played in three road games with Washington this week.
In 87 games overall this sea-son, DeJesus is batting .247 with six home runs and 27 RBIs.

ESPN drops out of PBS project on NFL
head injuriesESPN says it’s ending its col-
laboration with public TV in an investigation of the NFL and players’ head injuries.
ESPN said Friday its decision was based on a lack of editorial control over “League of Denial: The NFL’s Concussion Crisis,” air-ing in October on PBS’ “Front-line” public affairs series.
At ESPN’s request, its logo was being removed from web-sites related to the project and from the film itself.
In an online statement, the producers of “Frontline” said they regretted ESPN’s exit. The producers said the two-part “League of Denial” will air as scheduled on Oct. 8 and 15.
Meanwhile, both ESPN and the NFL on Friday denied a New York Times report that quotes unidentified sources saying the NFL had pressured ESPN to drop out of the project.
Steelers acquire RB Felix Jones from
EaglesThe Pittsburgh Steelers have
bolstered their injury-plagued backfield, acquiring running back Felix Jones from Philadel-phia for linebacker Adrian Rob-inson.
The deal, announced Friday, requires both players to pass a physical.
The 26-year-old Jones gives the Steelers needed depth at running back. Rookie Le’Veon Bell is out with a sprained right foot and is out indefinitely. Isaac Redman is dealing with a nerve injury and return special-ist LaRod Stephens-Howling sat out last Monday’s preseason game against Washington with a sprained knee.
Jones was the 22nd overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys but never stayed healthy enough to become the teams’ feature back. He has rushed for 2,728 yards and 11 touchdowns in 64 games.
Robinson made the Steelers as a undrafted rookie free agent last season, appearing in 12 games.

Blue Jays football straps on the pads for practiceEthan Padway
The familiar crunch of shoulder pads crashing togeth-er rang throughout Al Simpler Stadium Thursday afternoon.
For the first time this year, the Junction City football team practiced in full pads.
Players enthusiastically lined up, eager for their oppor-tunity to participate for the first time in the sport the way it was intended.
Junction City coach Randall Zimmerman said it was simi-lar to every other year’s first practice in pads.
“Everybody is incredibly excited,” He said. “Everybody
is all fired up and really going and then it kind of hit us. The extra 10, 12 pounds of equip-ment on us and it’s hot and humid, but overall I’m pleased with where we’re at.”
To try and counter the let-down, Zimmerman split the practice up into shorter peri-ods.

Breaking down Kansas State’s schedule Ethan Padway
In 2013, Kansas State will be fortunate enough to host eight games this season and only hit the road four times.
Add in the fact that one of the road games is just a short trip down I-70 to Lawrence only makes things even rosier as the team tries to defend its confer-ence title.
Here is a look at the schedule and which games should and shouldn’t pose threats to the Wildcats.
The non-consNorth Dakota State 8/30, Louisiana-Lafayette 9/7, UMass 9/14
Kansas State opens with North Dakota State, the defending Football Championship Series (formerly D-1AA) champs. But the Bison are better known in Kansas for knocking off the other division one team in the state in a 2010 visit to Lawrence.
While the game will be tougher than the typical FCS-cupcake game, and the last two seasons the Wildcats have gotten off to slow
starts against their FCS opponents sneaking past Eastern Kentucky 10-7 in the 2011 and only leading Missouri State 16-9 entering the fourth quarter last year, an upset is highly unlikely.
Snyder is a much better coach than Turner Gill and despite much turnover on the
roster for the defending Big 12 cham-pions, this is still a significantly more talented squad.
Any hopes the Bison have of repeating the success of their previ-
ous trip to the Sunflower State will be dashed, the only question is how long
they will stick around.Louisiana-Laffayette will bring a high-octane
offense to Manhattan in the second week of the season.
The Ragin’ Cajuns will not be a pushover by any means and will provide a good barometer to see how the Wildcats’ revamped defense will fare against the tough offenses it will face on a weekly basis in Big 12 play.
This will most likely be the toughest of Kan-sas State’s non-conference opponents.
The final tune-up game for Big 12 play comes against UMass, a program in its second year at the top level of college football.
The Minutemen slugged their way to a 1-11
record last season, with the lone victory com-ing against Akron. If the ‘Cats can’t take care of business against UMass, it will raise serious red flags around the program.
The Contendersat Texas 9/21, at Oklahoma State 10/5, Baylor 10/14
The back-to-back road games for the Wildcats to open Big 12 play could trouble the team and put the first blemish on the record.
On the positive side, Kansas State will have a bye week in between so it can put even more focus towards Oklahoma State.
Texas, the Wildcats’ first opponent on the road, once again enters the season as a ranked opponent despite some struggles in recent years. It’s been 10 years since the Wildcats last lost to the Longhorns, but that streak could be in jeop-ardy.
Texas hasn’t been the same powerhouse since the 2010 BCS National Championship game but since then have fallen short of preseason expec-tations every year.
Even so, Texas, like always, is loaded with tal-ent and it will take Snyder’s best game plan to leave Austin with a W.

The last limestone brick is in place. The final yard of concrete poured. The whirlwind work on a $75 million renova-tion to Bill Snyder Family Stadium is complete.
All that’s left is for fans to starting spinning the turnstiles.
Project supervisor AECOM announced Thursday that the renovation of the west side of the 45-year-old stadium in Man-hattan, Kan., finished on schedule. Con-struction had to be squeezed into eight months in order to be ready for the Wild-cats’ opener Aug. 30 against North Dako-ta State.
The renovation resulted in new premi-um seating, improved media and broad-cast facilities, the addition of the K-State Athletics Hall of Honor and other ameni-ties. It also doubled the amount of field lighting to meet NCAA national stan-dards for high-definition TV broadcasts.
“We want the game-day experience at K-State to be special,” associate athletics director Scott Garrett said. “Our goal is for fans to walk away from our stadium — regardless of whether the team won or lost and which team they are supporting — and feel that their return on invest-ment was well beyond the price of their ticket and that it was a very special expe-rience.”
The massive stadium project, which was announced in January 2012 and funded entirely through private dona-tions, is designed to go a long way toward improving the fan experience.
Where once a double-wide trailer served as the press box, and later a sim-ple structure to house the media and fans, there is now a 250,000 square-foot facility. It includes new suites and loge seating, retail locations and expansive concession and restroom facilities that also can be utilized by fans sitting in the preexisting bowl portion of the stadium.
“To see the facilities and what’s hap-pened here, it’s truly remarkable,” Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said after a recent tour of the construction. “I think a lot of people have had their hands on it, but I don’t think anybody has done as much as Coach Snyder.”
Indeed, the stadium had undergone a dramatic transformation since Snyder arrived on campus prior to the 1989 sea-son. There were high school stadiums that were nicer than KSU Stadium, as it was known back then, and the digs made it difficult for the program to attract recruits.
That should no longer be such a big problem.
“The vibrancy, the robustness that you have here, it’s a prosperous feeling,” Bowlsby said, “a feeling that comes with winning.”
The imposing structure clad in lime-stone stretches from one end zone to the other, opposite the upper level added to the east side of the stadium after the 1998 season. It gives off the feeling that the stadium is much larger, even though the listed capacity remains 50,000.

Royals comeback falls short
Orlin Wagner • The Associated PressKansas City Royals second baseman Chris Getz jumps away from Washington Nationals’ Ian Desmond after forcing him out during a game at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., Friday.

Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jayson Werth hit a two-run homer, Bryce Harper drove in three runs and the Washington Nationals rallied from a six-run hole before holding off the Kansas City Roy-als for an 11-10 victory Friday night.
Harper also made a terrific catch in the ninth for Washington, which scored seven times in the fourth inning of its fourth consecutive win. Ian Desmond had a pair of hits during the outburst.
Denard Span, Ryan Zimmerman, Tyler Moore and Anthony Rendon also had RBIs as the Nationals piled up 11 runs for the second time in three games — they beat the Cubs 11-6 on Tuesday night.
Just like in that one, Tyler Roark (4-0) came in to spell some sloppy starting pitching for the Nationals. He earned the win by allowing one hit and one walk in 4 2-3 innings.

Associated Press
NEW YORK — Joe Maddon manages one of the best teams in baseball. And the Tampa Bay Rays could wind up going home after one game this postseason.
Then again, winning just one game shouldn’t be too hard for the teams that survive the crowded wild card race. It’s getting there that’s going to be difficult in the second year of baseball’s new playoff format.
“Right now, you look at the American League East, and Boston and Tampa aren’t taking any days off because who wants to win 98 or 99 games and be in a one-game playoff ?” said former Red Sox manager Terry Francona, who now has the Cleveland Indians in the thick of the wild-card race. “They wanted to stress the importance of the season, which makes sense.”
The Rays are only a game behind Boston for the AL East lead, and if the season ended before Friday’s games, they would make it as one of the wild cards and play Oakland in a one-game, winner-take-all matchup.
With a little more than five weeks left in the regular season, though, the AL wild card race is jammed. The NL is slightly less crowded.
Lurking right behind Tampa Bay is Cleveland, 2 1/2 games back before Friday’s games. Baltimore was 3 games out of the playoffs and the Yankees were 3 1/2 games behind. Even the Royals might have an outside chance to get in. Kansas City is seven games behind Oakland for the second wild card spot and falling fast, having lost five straight and eight of 10.
“Now with the extra wild card, everyone has to be on their toes,” Cleveland’s Jason Giambi said. “GMs have to be into it because they may have to make a trade that can get you over the top, and a lot of teams that would be sell-ers become buyers.”
That’s five, maybe six, teams scratching and clawing to get the chance to play one extra game. And after all that,
one team will be ending its season only a day or two later than hopeless cases such as the Miami Marlins or Houston Astros.
“Is it fair? Of course not,” Orioles manager Buck Show-alter said. “But I’d rather play in a one-game playoff than not be involved in one at all.”
Showalter would know. His team beat Texas last season to face the Yankees in the AL Division Series. He also man-aged in the first wild card round, with the 1995 Yankees. They got to play a full series, though, and nearly upset the Mariners in a first round that went the full five games.
Since then, wild-card teams have outperformed expecta-tions by winning more than half of their series. Last year, St. Louis beat Atlanta (with some help from a dubious call) in the one-game wild card, then eliminated Washington before losing in the NLCS.
In fact, the World Series has been won by a wild card five times, most recently by the 2011 Cardinals. Four of the last 10 World Series champs have been wild card winners. Three more made it to the World Series and lost.
Whichever AL teams make the wild card will have spent plenty of time fighting to qualify at the end of the season. In the NL, it might work out easier. The Braves are run-ning away and hiding in the East, and the Dodgers began Friday with a 9 1/2-game lead on Arizona.
The Diamondbacks were 7 games out of the second wild-card spot, so that race could come down to the Pirates, Cardinals and Reds jockeying for the division title and to dodge the one-game playoff.
Two years ago, the stakes might have been a bit higher. With three teams that close, one would win the division, one would be the wild card and the third would get noth-ing. That could be everything to teams like the Pirates, whose last postseason appearance came before there was a wild card, in 1992.
The Royals, clinging to contention, have been waiting even longer. If they make it, it will almost certainly be as the second wild-card team.
“It’s the first time I can say we’ve had a shot,” Billy
Butler said. They would take it without reservation. As would any of
the dozen or so teams that can reasonably be considering postseason play at this point. Now it’s all about bridging September to get to October.
“If you get to the dance you have a chance,” Reds man-ager Dusty Baker said. “You just don’t know.”

Oklahoma State is a trendy pick to win the Big 12 and will enter the game with a polar opposite game plan from the Wildcats.
If the Cowboys can force a fast-paced shootout, they’ll have the advantage, but if the Wildcats can control the clock, they can leave Still-water victorious.
This two-game stretch will be cru-cial if K-State is able to defend its Big 12 crown.
Baylor presents the Wildcats with a chance to avenge its loss last season which ultimately kept them from the national title game.
The Bears feature one of the most exciting players in the conference in Lache Seastrunk and are a darkhorse for the Big 12 title.
Staying afloatWest Virginia 10/26, Iowa State 11/2, at Texas Tech
11/8If the Wildcats struggle in their
previous three contests, the tilts with West Virginia, Iowa State and Texas Tech should present an opportunity for Kansas State to raise its head back above water and get within striking distance (or even qualify for) a bowl game.
Both the Mountaineers and Red Raiders are making the transition to new quarterbacks and the Red Raid-ers are in the first year with new coach Kliff Kingsbury.
Iowa State has proven to be capable of knocking off top teams at Jack Trice stadium, but have yet to get a signature road victory which will be necessary if Paul Rhoads wants to take his team to the next level.
A win over K-State could provide that for his team and the Wildcats clearly have more to lose in the match-up.
If the Wildcats struggle or drop one of these games, it will be an indicator of how far from 2012 the team has fallen.
Proving groundTCU 11/16, Oklahoma 11/23
The toughest two-game home stretch will be when TCU and Okla-homa visit in consecutive weeks in mid-November. Winning these two and losing one or both could be the difference between an upper-echelon bowl game or being a team that is barely bowl eligible.
The Horned Frogs are trying to prove they belong in the Big 12 by competing for the conference title in just its second season as a member.
Gary Patterson said he’s not going to announce a starting QB until the first game, but the Frogs do have tal-ent at the position and whoever is taking snaps will be experienced.
Oklahoma recently named Trevor Knight the starting QB. While he has
yet to take a snap in competition, the redshirt freshman steps into a solid situation and the Sooners should con-tinue to be the model of consistency they’ve been under Bob Stoops.
The Wildcats will have home field advantage in both these games and will need to take advantage of it to contend for the title.
The contest formerly known as a rivalryat Kansas 11/30
The Sunflower Showdown has been extremely one-sided in favor of the Wildcats since Snyder’s return to the sidelines.
Depending on how the season unfolds for the Jayhawks, Kansas coach Charlie Weis could be feeling a lot of heat if his team is still failing to pick up wins — especially in confer-ence play.
Despite the game being played in Lawrence, if the Jayhawks don’t have a drastic turn-around, the atmosphere could be much more neutral than any other of the road games.
In conclusionThe Wildcats have a very favorable
schedule, which in a worst case sce-nario should lead the team to its fourth consecutive bowl game. With the Big 12 as wide open as it is this year, it might only take an upset or two for Kansas State to find itself in the thick of the title race.
But a more realistic finish would be somewhere in the upper-middle of the conference.

tor John Currie, who has spearheaded the project. “Weather-pending, we’ll have the most fans ever to come to the stadium this season, about 400,000, which would set the all-time attendance record.”
The opener against North Dakota State is sold out, including the standing-room only tickets, which should make for a festive atmosphere when the renovation is dedicated.
The project is the centerpiece of a master plan that was launched in August 2011. The next phase, which is already under development, will include a new strength and conditioning center, recruiting lounge and other aesthetic improvements.
“The stadium renovation is the largest construction project undertaken in the university’s history,” said Jon Niemuth, sports design director for AECOM, the architect of record for the project. “We knew it would require innovative and careful planning to deliver the new stadium to K-State fans with no interruption to the football schedule.”
They managed to do it with a week to spare.

Bruce Chen (5-2) was tagged for the second straight time for Kansas City. He allowed seven runs and six hits with five walks in 3 2-3 innings in his shortest outing of the year.
The Royals trailed 11-8 heading to the ninth, but Alex Gordon walked and Eric Hosmer doubled before Billy Butler’s RBI single. Justin Maxwell added a two-run single to make it 11-10, but closer Rafael Soriano induced a pair of fly balls to end the game.
The first flyout came on a dramatic sliding catch by Harper in right on a blooper by Emilio Bonifacio. The sec-ond came on the first pitch to Alcides Escobar, giving Soriano is 33rd save.
Hosmer and Maxwell each hom-ered and drove in three runs for the Royals, who have lost six straight. Salvador Perez drove in a pair of runs, and Gordon added three hits.
Royals manager Ned Yost convened a closed-door meeting before the game in the hopes of igniting an offense that scored five runs in a three-game sweep against the last-place White Sox.
It looks as if the message worked.Gordon hit a leadoff double in the
first and Hosmer followed with a drive to left, quickly staking Kansas City to a 2-0 lead. Maxwell added a solo shot later in the inning.
The Royals kept battering Gio Gon-zalez in the second. Jamey Carroll got his first hit in 17 at-bats since arriving in a trade from Minnesota.
Gordon hit an RBI double, Hosmer drove in a run with a single, and But-ler’s run-scoring base hit made it 6-0.
Then the Nationals started their comeback.
Denard Span’s triple in the third scored their first run. In a preview of the trouble to come, Chen loaded the bases before escaping the inning on Werth’s fly ball to center.
Chen’s nightmare finally came to pass in the fourth inning, when the veteran left-hander served up three singles to the first four batters he faced. Rendon’s sacrifice fly scored the first of what would turn into seven runs for Washington in the inning.
Span’s two-out walk loaded the bases, and Zimmerman walked to score a run. Harper’s double off the wall in center cleared the bases and tied it at 6, forcing Yost to trundle to the mound for a pitching change. Werth greeted Louis Coleman with his two-run homer.
The Royals cut the lead to 8-7 in the bottom half on Perez’s base hit, but the Nationals piled on three more runs in the seventh inning.
The first came on Moore’s RBI single, and the final two runs scored when second baseman Chris Getz threw the ball away trying to make a play at home — a fitting way to cap what turned out to be a circus-like night for the Kansas City defense.

Diamondbacks fall 4-3 to PhilliesBy AARON BRACy
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — The Diamond-backs caught a break. They just couldn’t do enough with it to slow their sinking playoff chances.
Arizona scored all three of its runs in the fourth inning when Philadel-phia left fielder Domonic Brown lost a routine fly ball in the lights as twi-light fell, but the Diamondbacks
wouldn’t score again in a 4-3 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night.
Chase Utley walked with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning, lifting the Phillies to their fifth win in six games. Four of those victories have come in their last at-bat, including the last three.
“Anytime you have walk-off (wins), it creates excitement and right now it’s carrying over to the next day,” Phillies interim manager Ryne Sand-
berg said.Matt Davidson had two hits and an
RBI for the Diamondbacks, who have dropped four of five, damaging their fleeting playoff hopes. Coming into the day, Arizona was 9 1/2 games behind the Dodgers in the NL West and seven back of the Reds for the second NL wild-card spot.
“They just got it done in the ninth,” Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. “We got a big break on the ball lost in the lights, but we couldn’t tack on.”

Instead of working through drills in 20-minute sets, he dou-bled the number of periods but cut the time down to 10-min-utes for each set.
“I wish we had 50 20-pound vests we could practice the first three days in, but we just don’t have them,” Zimmerman said. “It’s just the extra equipment.
You have the helmets on the first three days, you get accli-mated to that, then you add the shoulder pads and you’re putt-ting pants on instead of shorts. Everything’s more restricted and it’s mid-August and very humid.”
After being limited to the base defense the first day of practice, the Blue Jays defense has now caught up to the offense.
Players now have the ability to adjust out of the base to whatever the opponent throws
at them.“It was really tough tonight
for the offense to move the ball and I think kids got really frus-trated,” Zimmerman said. “But they’re very prideful kids and they’re going to work hard.”
The Blue Jays take their next step toward becoming game-ready with a Saturday morning practice, where the squad will play more game situations.
It also will be the first time the plays are live all the way to the ground.
Zimmerman said he’s look-ing for execution on the offen-sive side and making sure the defense knows how to line up properly depending on what look the offense shows.
“It’s all going to be situation-al,” Zimmerman said. “We’re not going to be moving the ball down the field, we’re going to be working on third downs and down and distance situations.”
Junction City won’t have offi-cials on the field, nor will there be game-style drives down the field.
That won’t happen until Thursday night’s Blue/White scrimmage.
But the addition of pads makes it easier for the coach-ing staff to evaluate the play-ers.
Zimmerman said it’s the kids who remain mentally tough, despite the fatigue brought on, that win the reps.
“It’s the kids that are out there on the first rep, every specialty, those are the ones that get your attention,” Zimmerman said.

Davis’ 2 HRs send Brewers over Reds
By JOE KAy
Associated Press
CINCINNATI — The Reds’ bull-pen finally had a bad day.
Khris Davis hit a pair of two-run homers in consecutive at-bats for the first multihomer game of his career, powering the Milwau-kee Brewers to a 6-4 victory over Cincinnati on Friday night.
The Reds lost for only the fifth time in their last 17 games, a surge that has tightened the NL Central race. They came in a sea-son-high 18 games over .500.
Davis connected in the sixth off Homer Bailey and again in the eighth off Alfredo Simon (5-4), who had a rough inning. He also gave up Gennett’s solo homer, which was upheld on review. Gen-nett also singled and doubled and scored twice.
The bullpen has pitched a lot of innings lately, which could have been a factor. Simon had been consistent lately, allowing only two runs in his last nine appear-ances.
“That was uncharacteristic of Simon,” manager Dusty Baker said. “I think you saw some signs of fatigue, and that Davis is the best young player I’ve seen come into the league this year.”
Scooter Gennett also homered for Milwaukee, which won at Great American Ball Park for only the second time in seven games this season.
Rob Wooten (2-0) hit a batter during his one inning in relief. Zack Cozart singled home a run in the eighth off Brandon Kint-zler. Jim Henderson gave up a hit in the ninth while getting his 20th save in 23 chances, leaving him with 14 straight scoreless appear-ances.
The Brewers played their first game since Ryan Braun acknowl-edged in a statement that he used performance-enhancing drugs while recovering from an injury in 2011, when he won the National League MVP award. Players called it a good first step for Braun, who is serving a 65-game suspension from Major League Baseball.
Davis rejoined the Brewers when Braun was suspended, his third stint of the season. He’s hit all eight of his homers in the 23 games since, including the two-run shot that put Milwaukee ahead 3-2 in the sixth. His next homer snapped a 3-all tie.
The rookie is batting .386 since Braun started his suspension.
“I don’t see any flaws in him right now,” manager Ron Roen-icke said. “He’s really doing a good job.”
Bailey repeatedly went deep in the count to batters and retired the side in order only once during his six innings. Baker considered letting him go another inning, but was concerned about his pitch count over his last two starts.

Special to the Daily Union
Money, money, money makes the world go ‘round.
Everyone has heard the phrase. But what a lot of people don’t know is that it wasn’t until the 1930s that the government was the exclusive printer of US paper currency.
In 1863 they developed a national currency with a standard design. Banks used the design to print and issue the money with the name and location of the bank printed on it. In the years before that money was sometimes only reli-able or usable if it was made of precious metal.
There have been many different types of paper currency over the years, some were legitimate and some weren’t. Some compa-nies like railroads would issue their own money which was only good local-ly.
There have been bills that were only worth 25¢ due to a lack of precious
metals during the Civil War. These bills were issued instead of coins and were called postage notes or postage currency because their design was based on the postage stamps. There have been Silver Certifi-cates and Gold Certificates as well.
Gold Certificates were gold in color and began cir-culating in 1865. Silver Cer-tificates were the same as Gold Certificates but were supported by the large sil-ver deposits mined begin-ning in the 1870s. Both of these certificates were redeemable for the amount of the certificate in that precious metal.
In the 1930s the redemp-tion of certificates for gold was outlawed for citizens and the US stopped redeem-ing paper currency for gold altogether in 1971.
Silver Certificates haven’t been redeemable for silver since 1968. Since the exchange of paper money for precious metal ended our money only has value because we accept that those colored pieces of
paper are worth what is printed on them.
The US government has always had an interest in regulating currency but became heavily invested in regulating paper currency during the chaos of the Civil War.
After 1863 most private banks issued their own money but when it was spent or exchanged there was an exchange rate much like when US dollars are exchanged for foreign money today.
According to the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing, “National Bank Notes were issued between 1863 and 1938.
Their design was the same regardless of place of issue, differing only in the name, location, and charter number of the bank.”
The bank note in the pic-ture was issued by Central National Bank with their name and location but notice the rest of the design is similar to five dollar bills prior to the year 2000.
Central National Bank was not the only bank in
Junction City to issue National Bank Notes.
First National Bank also issued currency bearing their name. To see an example of this visit the Museum’s banking exhibit.
The amount of money issued by private banks was not chump change. Don McWilliams stated in his
journals that “Central National Bank Charter No. 4284 issued national cur-rency totaling $980,400.” A complete list of these bills can be found in the Central National Bank Centennial Book.
After the US government began printing and issuing their own money, reports in
1935 stated that Central National Bank had $10,200 in large bills and $14,800 in small bills outstanding.
There is possibly still some in circulation today. So when you’re out shopping be sure to check your change because you may just have a valuable piece of Junction City’s his-tory in your hands.

PARIS — It’s a view of Paris that only a handful of people have seen in 500 years.
The Tour Saint-Jacques, a Gothic bell tower in cen-tral Paris, opened to the public last month for the first time since it was built in the early 16th century.
Only a limited number of lucky Parisians and tour-ists will get the chance to admire the vast panorama of the French capital’s sky-line from the 177-foot tow-er’s roof: It’s open for guid-ed tours only three days a week until Sept. 15.
The City of Paris com-pleted a $11 million, three-year renovation of the dilapidated limestone tower in 2009. It has remained closed until now as city architects debated how best to make the cramped, dizzy-ing space safe for visitors.
The tower once was part of a 13th-century church, S a i n t - J a c q u e s - d e - l a -Boucherie, which was torn down during the French Revolution. The tower was kept not only because of its architectural significance as one of the city’s best examples of the flamboyant Gothic style, but also because its great height made it the perfect spot to station observers who kept an eye out for fires, explained Laurence Fou-queray, a top architect in Paris’ cultural and historic buildings office.
Today picnickers lounge in the small square that surrounds the tower, on the rue de Rivoli, just steps from the Hotel de Ville and
across the Seine from Notre Dame cathedral.
Guided tours are held Friday through Sunday, every hour between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Visits are limited to 17 people at a time, and children under 10 are not allowed. Visitors must arrive by 9 a.m. on the day they want to see the tower and reserve a place for one of the eight daily tours, which cost 6 euros a person. They’ve been selling out since the tower opened on July 5, Fouqueray says.
Turning the tower into a year-round tourist attrac-tion would require addi-tional renovations, such as building higher safety rail-ings at the top, which would detract from the tower’s unique atmosphere. “It wouldn’t have the same feel-ing,” Fouqueray says. Open-ing the tower to only small groups for a few months of the year gets around this problem, but it has yet to be decided whether the experi-ence will be renewed in future years.
The climb to the tower’s roof is a strenuous hike up 300 steps in a dark, narrow spiraling staircase that can leave a visitor sweaty and dizzy.
But the view from up top is worth the effort.
Virtually every Paris monument can be spied in a stunning 360-degree pan-orama that takes in the Arc de Triomphe, Sacre Coeur, the Eiffel Tower and the Opera de Paris. The gray roofs of Paris stretch to the horizon, and boats slowly navigating the Seine look like toys.
“It’s a sparrow’s-eye view from up here,” Fouqueray says, pointing out the other
16th-century monuments nearby like the Saint Merri, Saint Eustache and Saint Germain l’Auxerrois churches.
The project was led by Jean-Francois Lagneau, a top architect of historic monuments in Paris. Around 30 people worked on the restoration, includ-ing stone cutters, sculptors, carpenters and glass mak-ers.
On the tower’s roof are numerous gargoyles and five large statues: Saint Jacques, the tallest, looks out over Paris to the north-west, while at the other cor-ners are a lion, a bull and an eagle, symbols of the gospels.
After the French Revolu-tion, the tower’s bells were melted down for their metal. They haven’t been replaced. The tower has been the site of a number of unusual occupations over the centu-ries: Renaissance mathema-tician and physicist Blaise Pascal used the tower for scientific experiments in the 17th century, an ammu-nition manufacturer set up inside in the early 19th cen-tury, and a national weather station occupied the tower’s heights from the late 19th century until early this cen-tury — making it off-limits to the public.
Fouqueray says one of the biggest difficulties restorers faced was evicting the hundreds of pigeons, and their waste, that had taken up residence in the tower’s lofty heights.
“I needed a mask the first time I came in here,” she says.
Fouqueray has been a city architect for over 25 years. She also worked on
the recently finished reno-vations of the Saint Paul church in the Marais. But she calls the Saint-Jacques
tower “the greatest restora-tion in my memory.”
“Each stone is a decision in a renovation like this,”
Fouqueray says, before starting the dizzying climb back down to the Paris street.

NEW YORK — Since Roger Federer and his wife, Mirka, had their twin daughters four years ago, the girls have become fixtures on the ten-nis circuit, traveling with Federer from tournament to tournament.
But their immersion in the tennis world hasn’t made Myla Rose and Charlene Riva eager to pick up tennis rack-ets. Federer says they haven’t shown any interest in follow-ing in the footsteps of their famous dad (or mom, who was also a professional ten-nis player).
“They’re not crazy about it. Either you like doing that or you don’t. And they’re in that part which they don’t,” Federer said in a recent inter-view. “They’d rather draw, listen to music, and dance, swim and do those kinds of things, which I’m really quite happy about. As long as they’re active and they do sports, which I think is good for them, then I’m all for it. I’m not pushing them in any way. But if they do it, I’m happy to help them out.”
Federer would be the ideal helper if that happens. He is the all-time Grand Slam champion with 17 titles under his belt.
Still, he hasn’t won a major title since Wimbledon in 2012, and at the U.S. Open, scheduled to start in the New York borough of Queens on Monday, he’s seeded seventh — the first time he’s been outside the top three at a Grand Slam tournament since 2003.
His goal, though, hasn’t changed: “Win the U.S. Open.”
“It’s fun chasing some-thing you want to win again like I did in 2008,” Federer said.
With his girls with him, though, he’s not as singular-ly focused as he used to be.
“Tennis still remains a big priority in my life, like it used to, it’s just that I’ve
adjusted to a new situation,” he said.
Federer’s face shows the contentment of family life — just the mention of his wife and children and his face beams with joy.“I didn’t have kids to have a reality check. I had kids because I love my wife and we wanted to start a
family,” Federer said. “It’s been challenging, but you learn more about yourself.”
Federer says that through-out his career, he has always tried to balance his time with “things other than tennis.” But instead of an active nightlife, the activities have gotten more family oriented.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Rapper 2 Chainz was one of 11 people arrested after refusing to get off a tour bus for almost nine hours following a traffic stop in Oklahoma City early Thursday morning, police said.
2 Chainz, whose real name is Tauheed Epps, and the others were arrested on a charge of obstructing a police officer and booked into the Oklahoma County Jail on Thursday morning, Sgt. Jennifer Wardlow said.
But by Thursday afternoon, all 11 had paid the $2,000 bail and were released from custody, Oklahoma County Sheriff’s spokes-man Mark Myers said.
The 35-year-old rapper performed with Lil Wayne and T.I. in Oklahoma City on Wednes-day night. Police stopped 2 Chainz’s tour bus around midnight near Interstate 40 because of an illegal taillight and noticed drug use,
though Wardlow wouldn’t go into specifics. The driver was arrested, “but as he got off
the bus, the interior door shut and locked and obviously our officers could not get in there,” she said.
The remaining people on the bus refused to leave the vehicle, so officers towed it to a nearby police training facility about four miles away, Wardlow said.
Investigators obtained a warrant and all 11 people came off the bus around 9 a.m., Wardlow said. They were then arrested on the charge and booked into jail.
Wardlow also said investigators found narcotics on the bus, but don’t know to whom those belonged. She said more charg-es could be filed later.
The Atlanta-based rapper, initially known as Tity Boi, was a member of the rap duo Playaz Circle before going solo. His 2012 debut album, “Based on a T.R.U. Story,” topped the Billboard charts. His new album, “B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time,” is set to be released next month.

It’s Storytime! Signup has begun for the fall Storytime programs at
Dorothy Bramlage Public Library. The first sessions of the season will take place Sept. 10, 11, and 12.
Storytime programs are designed to foster the love of books and reading, and encourage children on the path to becoming great readers.
Stories (told through pic-ture books, flannel boards, puppets or other mediums), songs, fingerplays, games, activities and crafts are centered around a weekly theme.
Our storytimes also re-enforce the six pre-reading skills important for helping children learn to read and write.
Those returning to the Storytime program may notice some changes in this session, beginning with the addition of a time for babies.
Classes are geared for different stages of develop-mental maturity based on age. Children should be the appropriate age before attending their first ses-sion.
Wiggles and Giggles Baby Time is designed as a time for parents and their chil-dren, 0 to 18 months, to interact one-on-one while listening to stories, and participating in songs, games, and activities. Each week parents will also be given take-home informa-tion concerning everything
from helping your child to identify letters to baby mas-sage.
Pre-registration is required for this session, as a limited number of spots are available.
Baby Time with Miss Pam will be held on Thurs-days at 10 a.m.
Toddler Time is for chil-dren 18 to 36 months. This interactive storytime is for children accompanied by parent or caregiver. Chil-dren will be exposed to short picture books along with songs, fingerplays, games, and interactive activities with their adult. Toddler Time with Miss Pam takes place on Wednes-days at 10 a.m.
Preschool Storytime is intended for children 36 months to 5 years without accompanying adults.
This independent class will expose children to lon-ger picture books with songs, flannel stories, activ-ities, games and more to help prepare them school. Parents can choose one of three sessions to attend each week. Preschool Sto-rytime takes place on Tues-days at 10 a.m. with Miss Pam, Wednesdays at 11 a.m.
with Miss Janene, and Thursdays at 11 a.m. with Miss Diedre and Miss Janene.
Evening Storytime is open to a wider range of ages to allow children
with multiple children to be able to attend together. Designed as an alternative to Preschool storytime, this session is designed for ages 3-8 with or without accom-panying parents or caregiv-ers. Evening Storytime with Miss Diedre and Miss Sarah takes place on Tues-days at 6 p.m.
Pre-registration is required only for Baby Time. For other sessions, adults accompanying chil-dren will be asked to com-plete an information form only. For all sessions, the storytellers request that only children in the appro-priate age group attend. Siblings and other children may stay in the YP Depart-ment with a caregiver. Each child is asked to attend only one storytime per week.
DBPL asks parents to keep these points in mind as they prepare to bring their children to storytime:
•We completely under-stand that for some chil-dren this will be their first group experience in the library, and that it may take a few visits for them to feel comfortable. If children are upset or not in the mood to attend storytime, it is okay to skip a day or leave the room, as it can be a distrac-tion for everyone. Children
who become upset during storytime may be asked to step out of the room (with an adult) to “regroup” before returning.
•Adults are asked to remain in the library while they let children attend Preschool Storytime alone. If the child is new to the library or not used to being alone, their adult may escort them until he/she feels comfortable. This not only gives the child a chance to practice their indepen-dence, but gives he/she the opportunity to proudly share what they have learned and/or made with their adult!
•Bring books home too: An important part of the storytime experience for children is checking out books to read or share at home. Children age four and older may have their own library card.
•Allow children to get nametags, go to the rest-room and get acclimated to
the library by arriving 5 or more minutes before story-time begins . If you arrive late, please do so as quietly as possible.
•Children are encouraged to use the restroom before storytime starts.
•Toys, stuffed animals, blankets, etc. are discour-aged in the storytime room. Storytellers will provide plenty of activity and enter-tainment for children.
We look forward to see-ing everyone for this sea-son’s storytimes!

Janene HillLibrarian’s report
By Hector toBar
Los Angeles Times
Americans have always feared secret cabals.
In three successive decades in the mid-20th century, a “Brown Scare” swept through this country, fol-lowed by a “Red Scare,” and finally a “Lavender Scare,” Jesse Walker tells us in his bold and thought-provoking new book, “The United States of Paranoia: A Conspiracy Theory.”
Americans heard so many stories that described Nazis, communists and homosexuals nefariously try-ing to take over our government, our minds and our bodies, they began to see them everywhere. In an earlier era, they feared murder-ous slaves and libidinous Native American kidnappers. And more recently: UFOs and satanic nursery schools.
“This is a book about America’s demons,” Walker writes. “Many of those demons are imaginary, but all of them have truths to tell us. A conspiracy story that catches on becomes a form of folklore. It says something true about the anxieties and experiences of the people who believe and repeat it ...”
Walker wrote “Rebels on the Air: An Alternative History of Radio in America” and is an editor at Reason magazine. He doesn’t debunk con-spiracy theories per se in this book. He doesn’t weigh in on the Kennedy assassination, for example, and he
takes it for granted that you believe President Obama’s birth certificate is genuine: “Birthers” make only the briefest of cameos in his book.
Giving the reader an “exhaus-tive” history of all conspiracy theo-ries is not Walker’s mission. Instead, “The United States of Paranoia” is an oddly entertaining exploration of the roots of “paranoid” thinking across several centuries of Ameri-can history.
Not only do Americans believe conspiracy theories, they also believe their fellow citizens are more susceptible to conspiracies and manipulation by “elites” than they really are, Walker writes. Take, for example, the myth surrounding Orson Welles’ 1938 radio broadcast of “The War of the Worlds.” In the years after Welles’ broadcast, a few writers spread the idea that it had induced a mass panic.
“The truth was more mundane but also more interesting,” Walker points out. In fact, only a few people truly believed aliens had invaded the East Coast. A famous Life mag-azine cover photo of a farmer with a pitchfork ready to fight the aliens was staged. Walker argues that the story of the purported “panic” fed the notion that Americans could easily be manipulated, that they were a many-headed “robot” easily controlled by skillful artists using the mass media.
Americans fear mobs: They are the dark force lurking inside “Enemy Below” conspiracy theo-ries, one of several categories of
“primal myths” Walker explores. Over time, blacks, immigrant labor-ers and Jewish radicals have all been the protagonists in imagined “Enemy Below” conspiracy theo-ries. A mythical group of black intellectuals called “The Organiza-tion” was said to be behind the 1965 Watts riots, Walker writes.
In his influential 1964 essay “The Paranoid Style in American Poli-tics,” historian Richard Hofstadter contended that it was social outsid-ers or “marginal” movements that most often embraced this kind of conspiratorial thinking. Walker quickly demolishes that argument. It wasn’t true in the 18th century, when Federalist leaders and their Jeffersonian rivals both spread con-spiracy theories, he says. And it certainly isn’t true in the modern age, when the mainstream media and political leaders in both parties have spread paranoid narratives.
The book argues convincingly that the mainstream media, follow-ing the lead of groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center, exag-gerated the threat of right-wing militias after the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 — even though neither bomber Timothy McVeigh nor his accomplice, Terry Nichols, was ever a member of a militia. Of course, with the radical right also embracing conspiracy theories of its own — “Enemy Above” myths about “the One-World Government” and the like — it became easier to portray them as dangerous wackos plotting a coup d’etat.
All those images of militia men began to seep into America’s collec-tive subconscious. Something simi-lar happened after the 9/11 attacks, when Americans were “semiotical-ly aroused,” Walker writes, quoting a phrase coined by historian Rich-ard Landes.
To be “semiotically aroused” is to fall under the influence of signs and symbols. A few weeks after the 9/11 attacks, the constant broadcast of images of Islamic extremists caused such a spell to overcome several otherwise rational people in Tyler, Texas, according to Walker. An object made with wires and duct tape was found in a mailbox. Believ-ing it was a weapon of mass destruc-tion, the authorities called in the bomb squad. An entire neighbor-hood was evacuated. The object turned out to be an 8-year-old boy’s homemade flashlight, built for his science class.
“The most prevalent form of paranoia after 9/11 was the mindset that allowed officials to mistake a harmless school project for a jihad,” writes Walker.
It’s all too rare to come upon a writer willing to attack the sacred cows of the right and left with equal amounts of intelligence and flair. Walker is, thankfully, that kind of writer and a tireless and thorough researcher to boot. He also states an obvious fact many skeptics are unwilling to accept: Behind just about every conspiracy theory there is also, more often than not, a grain of truth.

Voices of Faith: What do you say to those who say they pray and prey but never get any answer?
‘Persist in prayer’The Rev. Penny Ellwood, Blue
Springs, Mo., United Methodist Church of the Resurrection
My short answer is, “keep pray-ing.” Unfortunately, the short answer isn’t particularly motivat-ing nor helpful without a longer conversation.
Sometimes we treat God like a big vending machine in the sky. We plunk our perfunctory prayers into the slot and push a B4 or a C7 and wait, not very patiently, for God to drop our desire into the tray. But this isn’t the kind of relationship God wants with us. A
true relationship requires two-way communication and the free-dom to choose. It means we speak and we listen. The time we spend in prayer helps us to grow closer and become more intimately con-nected to God.
In this relationship, God has the full benefit of knowing what is best for us and how our requests might play out if we were to receive all that we ask for. He weeps when the choices of humanity lead to pain and suffer-ing and sometimes, albeit rarely, God grants a miracle.
Yet knowing all this, that we might not pray for the right things, at the right times, or for the right reasons, Jesus teaches his disciples to “persist in prayer.” (Romans 12:12) But I don’t think that Jesus’ point was to wear
down God to the point of capitula-tion.
I believe that what happens when we persist in prayer is that our relationship with God grows and our hearts become aligned with his heart. God begins to move from the periphery of our experience, from the big vending machine who supplies our needs, closer and closer to the center.
We begin to see how our requests affect others and wheth-er they align with God’s purposes. God is calling you to be in com-munion with him, to be his part-ner in prayer. So I say, “Keep praying!”
God answers, one way or another
The Rev. Raymond Davis Jr., founder and pastor emeritus,
Greater Corinthian Church of the Christ
One of the most difficult spiri-tual exercises is prayer and pray-ing. The most essential reason for the difficulty is that the human spirit is prone to doubt and lack of trust in God. When there is faith, commitment, then God gives a power to help us pray; he is the third person of the divine godhead.
Scripture lauds his help, con-sider: (Romans 8:26-28). “For we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us ...” This text gives us cause to know that not only does God answer prayer, but also that he provides for us the Holy Spirit, also called “the comforter,” who helps us in our praying.
We pray about something and some things. Prayer and praying directs us to Scripture answers. God answers prayer, in some instances, by directing us to Scrip-ture. Any person who is deep into Scripture, he or she will know when God is directing them to Scripture for the answer.
God weighs every prayer cir-cumstance we place before him.
Sometimes God’s answer is — “wait” (Psalm 27:14).
Sometimes his answer is — “Be still” (Psalm 46:10).
Whatever the prayer circum-stance, God will answer, one way or the other.
The negro praise hymn says: “He may not come when you want him, but he’s right on time.”
Voices of faith: Those who pray without answers
The Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — The number of Mormon mis-sionaries surpassed 75,000 worldwide in August, driv-en by the church’s decision to lower the minimum age for ambassadors of the Utah-based faith.
The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints reported the number of proselytizing missionaries has increased by 28 percent from about 58,000 a year ago.
The church expects the number to swell to 85,000 by year’s end.
Last October, the church announced men could begin
serving at 18, instead of 19, and women at 19, instead of 21.
Church leaders and out-side scholars expect the decision will lead to many more women serving mis-sions. Rather than having to leave at age 21 — when many women are about to start careers or perhaps are
contemplating marriage and starting families — Mormon women can now serve missions shortly after high school.
Young Mormon men are expected, but not required to serve missions. Histori-cally, women have faced far less pressure to serve. Men serve two years while
women go for 18 months.Church scholars say the
unprecedented number of missionaries gives Mor-mons an opportunity to bring in a higher number of converts, and perhaps more importantly, do a bet-ter job of keeping current members active.
The church reported hav-
ing 14.4 million members worldwide as of January 2012. Missionaries convert about five people per mis-sion, according to Matt Martinich, a member of the LDS church who analyzes membership and mission-ary numbers with the non-profit Cumorah Founda-tion.
Mormon missionary county hits 75,000
MAIDUGURI, Nigeria — Using every resource from psychologists to agriculture experts and security forces, the Nigerian state at the heart of an Islamic uprising hopes to reach a reservoir of angry and rootless young men easily recruited by Islamic extremists and trans-form them into productive members of society.
“We are trying to look inward at what is the imme-diate cause and who are these people” in the Islamic sect, Boko Haram, that has mor-phed into a terrorist network, Zanna Mustapha, deputy governor of Borno state, told The Associated Press.
Mustapha heads a high-ranking committee that is seeking to stem the root causes of extremism in Borno, one of three north-eastern states under a 3-month-old state of emer-gency.
One way to prevent further radicalization of the popula-tion is by “transforming” the lives of thousands of unem-ployed, restive young people disenchanted with life, the committee concluded.
“A hungry man is an angry
man,” Mustapha said. “The angriness of youth in society has made it easy for whoever wants to recruit them” espe-cially Boko Haram — the extremist group whose name means “Western education is forbidden” and which is blamed for the deaths of more than 1,700 people since 2010, according to a count by AP.
Mustapha said Boko Haram members “are living inside society.”
Ordinary residents of a typically poor neighborhood — a warren of mud brick buildings without running water or electricity — told a reporter that more than half the people living there before the military crackdown that began May 14 were members of Boko Haram.
In some areas of Maidug-uri, the birthplace of the extremist movement, up to 60 percent of residents belonged to Boko Haram, said an unemployed 40-year-old car-penter in the Moduganari neighborhood, where the stench of open drains filled with excrement and other filth is pervasive. He refused to give his name because he said he could be killed.
He said the Islamic extrem-ists have split families: In his neighborhood, he said every second family has a son or sons who have joined the extremists. Conversely, he added, the extremists have killed at least one member of virtually every family in the neighborhood.
A major problem Mus-tapha identified is the prac-tice among poor Muslim families of sending children as young as six to go to Islam-ic schools where they live with a Muslim cleric where they learn nothing but how to recite the Quran. They grow up with no skills and once they reach their teens are abandoned to fend for themselves on the streets, he said.
“Some have been here for 20 years and don’t remember where they are from or who their family is,” Mustapha said.
Using psychologists, agri-culturists, technicians, civil society leaders, security and other forces he hopes “to transform these youths ... to talk to them to change (their) minds.”
Mustapha said they plan to train some 15,000 young
people by the end of the year — an ambitious program in Nigeria where much state money is diverted to the pockets of politicians and contractors and many gran-diose schemes have come to nothing.
Opposition politician Babagana Musa cast doubt on Mustapha’s plan. He accused Mustapha’s All Nige-ria Peoples Party, or ANPP, of failing to bring projects to fruition which has contrib-uted to Boko Haram’s growth.
“The incompetence of the present government in Borno state leads to so many hard-ships; so many pledges made by the present ANPP are not fulfilled; and due to lapses of the ANPP government, they cannot show a single project that they have executed in the past two years.”
But Mustapha’s plan was praised as a “very good ini-tiative” by Michael Femi Sodipo of the Peace Initiative Network based in the north-ern city of Kano. Anything that will engage the youth and take them out of their
volatile and restive state” is positive, said Sodipo. He praised a similar plan in Kano, where he said the state government has taken hun-dreds of youths off the street and employed them as secu-rity guards.
Throughout the Nigeria, there are millions of margin-alized young people. Official statistics say 63 percent of Nigeria’s 160 million people are under 25 and about 37 percent of young people are unemployed. The poverty and unemployment much worse in Nigeria’s Muslim-dominated north than in the oil-producing and mainly Christian south. Some esti-mate that more than 50 per-cent of those aged 18 to 30 are unemployed in the north.
Christopher Benjamin, a 28-year-old Christian, said nearly half his friends are unemployed and the rest, like him, do menial work despite professional qualifications.
Benjamin helps support his five siblings as a hotel room cleaner on a salary of 16,000 naira ($100) a month that is barely enough to feed
himself. He said his girl-friend is getting angry because he cannot afford to marry.
“My friends are selling onions and kola nuts on the roadside. The lucky ones are taxi drivers and brick-layers,” says Benjamin, who earned a diploma in mar-keting in 2002 but has never got a job in that field.
It is the unemployed young that deputy governor Mustapha hopes to reach with the training program.
Mustapha said he plans this month to start training 800 young people to create community watchdog groups as paid civilian secu-rity guards.
Others among the young and unemployed can be trained to be part of the “agricultural revolution” — a federal government proj-ect to make this mass food importer return to self-suf-ficiency, he said, adding, “We want to convert them to become very usable to society, the community and the state.”

I´m a big believer and promoter of civic involvement.
This doesn’t mean that I expect everyone to run for political office.
But there are lots of opportunities for many of us to serve on the various boards and committees of organizations, groups, or entities that we all belong to.
It never ceases to amaze me, or perhaps disappoint me, that it seems like the same people serve on all the various boards around town.
I know it’s the same people because I keep see-ing them at board meet-ings.
Someone once said that the world is run by those who show up.
Organizations all over
the country seem to be struggling with maintain-ing members.
There’s so many groups, organizations and causes to belong to it’s easy to be overwhelmed.
Or you get involved in so many that you don’t spend very much time in any of them.
Then the people who feel most responsible agree to serve on the board of directors and before they know it they are overwhelmed.
After they become over-
whelmed the common next step is to resign from the board and it becomes a vicious cycle.
Entities are so desper-ate to fill vacancies on their board that they
start begging people to serve.
They’ll say things like, “Oh, we just meet once a month for an hour or so.” Or, “there’s not really much to it, show up and vote on a few things once a month.”
But sadly, this approach isn’t fair to the potential board member or to the organization.
New board members all of a sudden are being asked to make some tough financial decisions for the organization or they are being asked to do evalua-tions of paid staff and
they were never given the tools to know how to do this properly.
By virtue of my job and position, I serve on a lot of boards, often in an ex-officio capacity.
But I also have served on boards of organiza-tions that I belong to.
I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the ugly of boards from both sides of the table.
I’ve also had the plea-sure of helping boards learn how to be more effective in what they do.
To this end, I am team-ing up with the Junction City Chamber of Com-merce to teach a session on “Board Governance.”
This is going to be a 90 minute crash course on how to maximize your effectiveness on a board.
During the session I will help you learn how to determine your responsi-bilities.
I’ll talk about the impor-tance of separating your-self and your daily busi-ness from the role you serve on the board, which is sometimes a bit tricky.
We’ll briefly discuss lia-bility issues.
We’ll also discuss some of the dreaded mechanics of how to help make sure that your board has a quality meeting including how to plan out the meet-ing and set up a proper agenda before the meet-ing so everyone knows what to expect at your next meeting.
The session will be this coming Thursday, Aug. 29 from 10:30 until noon.
We will be meeting at the
Opera House and the cost is free.
But I will guarantee that even though it doesn’t cost anything, you will still learn a lot from it.
The only catch is that you need to call the Cham-ber of Commerce Office at 762-2632 ahead of time, at least the day before, to reg-ister.
This session is open to anyone who is serving or may be thinking about serving on a board of direc-tors, an advisory board, a not for profit board, region-al board, elected body, just about any kind of board where you have a meeting with an agenda.
Please take a couple hours out of your day to learn how to be a better board member and a more involved citizen
Boards are the life blood of organizations, they should be?

Whether it’s sneers or cheers, it seems that when the Affordable Care Act (aka PPACA, ACA, health reform law) enters a con-versation there seems to be a reaction from the group.
Regardless of where you stand on the legislation that has been commonly coined as ObamaCare, it is impor-tant that you understand what the law does and how that will impact you as a citizen.
The Affordable Care Act passed in March of 2010 and was upheld by the United State Supreme Court in July, 2012.
Its impact is far reaching and you may already, with-out realizing it, be utilizing the provisions of the law.
For example, many Amer-icans can now obtain vari-ous preventative care ser-vices with no co-pay or deductible.
Some of these services include: blood pressure and cholesterol screenings, vac-cinations, mammograms and other cancer screen-ings, depression screening, and birth control.
Another feature of the bill that has already been activated affects a parents’ ability to insure their child.
It is no longer legal to deny insurance coverage to children because of pre-existing conditions like dia-betes or asthma (as of Janu-ary 1, 2014 this rule applies to all people.)
Parents can insure their child on their own policy up to the age of 26, as well.
Families and individuals who have private insurance, insurance through their employer, through public programs, as well as those who currently have no insurance will be affected in a variety of ways.
Those who have insur-ance through the private market or through their employer will be able to remain in those plans or can utilize the Health Insur-ance Marketplace to com-pare their options begin-ning October 1. (I will have more information about the Marketplace in my next article.) For those who are insured through public pro-grams, children and adults will have continued service through their current Kan-Care policies.
Families and individuals who currently have no insurance will be eligible for financial assistance to help pay for insurance through the Marketplace.
They will be able to access the online Marketplace beginning Oct. 1 to deter-mine their eligibility, com-
pare plans, and enroll in an insurance policy. The insur-ance coverage would be effective Jan. 1, 2014. Undoc-umented residents are not eligible to access the Mar-ketplace for coverage and will likely remain unin-sured. Some of these indi-viduals and families may be able to obtain insurance through their employers or purchase insurance in the private market, outside of the Marketplace.
To assist families and indi-viduals in the process of exploring and selecting insurance, Kansas residents will have the opportunities to work with professionals who will be trained in ACA and the Marketplace sys-tem.
These individuals, called Navigators, will meet with families and residents to determine what their spe-cific health care needs are and assist residents in navi-gating the process of enroll-ing in insurance.
It is important to note the Affordable Care act requires that everyone who can afford health insurance must buy it, or may have to pay a tax fine.
During this first year of implementation, enrollment will remain open from Oct. 1 through March 31, 2014.
However, in subsequent years the enrollment time-frame will go from Oct. 1 through Dec. 31.
According to the Journal of Extension, research shows most Americans don’t understand the law, and they aren’t comfortable making health insurance purchase decisions.
K-State Research and Extension is gearing up with information and education to meet the need of our com-munity members to know more about ACA and how it impacts them.
This will allow individu-als and families to make more informed decisions about their health insurance options and the coverage they have available to them.
K-State Research and Extension is posting ACA news and developments on www.ksre.ksu.edu/issuein-healthreform/.
Because this topic has been so sensitive to many individuals, it is important to seek out unbiased sources of information so that you get the factual information without being influenced by any one side of the debate that continues to surround the Affordable Care Act.
To help you with the infor-mation—gathering process, this article serves as the first in a series on ACA that I will be offering over the next few weeks.
If you want to know more now, here are a couple of valuable, unbiased websites: http://consumersunion.org/research-policies and h t t p : / / w w w . k s i n s u r a n c e . o r g / consumers/healthreform/aca.htm
