Jammin’ in JC continues
As the sun began to crest the horizon,
Rev. Nikki Woolsey began her day at Zion United Church of Christ and was blown away with what she saw next.
“The sun was hitting those stained glass win-dows and it was just beautiful,” Woolsey said.
She began taking pictures of the Cross reflection, which brightened the entrance of the sanctuary.
“It was incredi-ble,” she said with a smile while flipping through her smart-phone.
“We just started a Facebook page, so I needed a cover photo,” Woolsey said.
After taking pic-tures, Woolsey went straight to work.
Woolsey became the church’s leader in the summer and is preparing for a big celebra-tion next week.
She was ordained in June and Zion United Church of Christ is her first journey as a minister.
“I feel very prepared to step into this role,” she said.
The church is commemorat-ing 10 years in a new building and her official installation.
But some people believe she should not spread the word of God.
“I grew up in a pretty conser-vative part of the world,” Wool-sey said. “There were not a lot of women in leadership posi-
tions in mainline churches.”She spent the majority of her
life growing up in Follett, a small town located in the Texas panhandle.
“It was something I was drawn to throughout my grow-ing up years,” Woolsey said about spreading God’s word. “I was active in church as a child, as a youth and throughout col-lege.”
During her career exploration years at West Texas A&M Uni-versity, ministry spoke to her the most.
“I started out in teacher edu-cation and then I did liberal arts, but really, preparing for ministry is what I wanted to do,” Woolsey said.
Back home, peo-ple in her commu-nity loved her, sup-ported her and even helped her pay for school.
“They said ‘we support you, but our church will
never call a female minister,’” Woolsey said. “It was very disheartening, particularly as a young woman. I was 20 when I heard that.”
It’s one of the reasons she travelled to the Midwest to expand her education.
“That kind of opened the door for me to say there’s other plac-es and other ways of thinking,” she said. “There’s a much broader church out there, than the one I grew up in.”
After graduating with a bach-elor’s degree in general studies, she attended St. Paul School of
Theology in Kansas City, Mo., where she earned a master’s in divinity.
Shortly after, she began work-ing for the seminary and opted not to become ordained as a
minister. The result of that decision
was working in the higher edu-cation field for 15 years. It gave her a lot of time to ponder the
Her true calling
The Rev. Nikki Woolsey will celebrate her installation with the congregation of Zion United Methodist Church on Sunday, Oct. 6. That same day, the church will celebrate 10 years in its current location. See page 12A for more informa-tion on that event.

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

The proposal for a resort on Clinton Lake that had received support from state officials has tanked.
A notice sent out by the U.S. Army Corps of Engi-neers and provided to The Daily Union states devel-opers, the evaluation team and Gov. Sam Brownback concluded in a recent meeting the resort on Clin-ton Lake near Lawrence “would not be/could not be financially feasible for the state of Kansas.”
The project, the Corps of Engineers’ notice stat-ed, will be cancelled and the bid received from LodgeWell, will be reject-ed.
That rejection could open the door for a $7 mil-lion expansion to Acorns Resort on Milford Lake to be a one-of-a-kind attrac-tion in the state — if it ever gets off the ground.
Acorns owner Mike
Harris has said he’d like to see his current facili-ties, located on Milford Lake at 3710 Farnum Creek Road, become a true lakeside resort.
Calls to Harris were not returned as of press time Friday.
LodgeWell was the only developer to submit a bid in July for the Clinton Lake resort. The plans could have included a 175-room hotel, resort and conference facility.
Officials from the state, Lawrence and Douglas County had been working to determine the feasibili-ty of the project.
Preliminary plans for Acorns — a mostly private venture, unlike the Clin-ton Lake resort — would add a hotel, an indoor and outdoor restaurant and other amenities to its cur-rent lodging and water activities offerings.
But Harris has met mixed responses from Geary County officials.
Resort no-go could open door for Acorns

For Philip Orr, travel-ing to Junction City from across the pond was an “epic journey.”
With a smile, the Irish businessman talked about his long travel schedule and the warmth of Kansas, while sitting inside his UPU Industries, Inc. building.
“It’s starting to feel like winter is about to arrive,” Orr said about Ireland. “I like the sunshine because it make you feel good, even though it was a long jour-ney to get here.”
For the Chief Executive Officer, it also felt good to
recognize his employees, who worked half a decade at the local facility, which pro-duces bale netting and pal-let wrap for agricultural and industrial purposes.
Orr makes the trip to Kansas annually to honor the workers.
The four employees rec-ognized Thursday morning for five years of service included, Josh Loehr, Tom Miller, Felix Meran and Der-rell Wilmer.
“It’s very pleasing,” Orr
said. “It gives us the oppor-tunity to recognize those individuals for the length of time they’ve been here.”
The employees received a plaque, coat and a check for $750.
Miller enjoys working for the company and with his current supervisor Alec Hayes because of his people skills.
“That make it a pleas-ant work environment,” Miller said.

Anyone who has spent five minutes in Junction City knows during the workweek, you can’t go anywhere without seeing soldiers from Fort Riley in their battle dress uni-forms.
However, when they are seen in Junction City, soldiers are typically on their way to Fort Riley, on their lunch break, hav-ing dinner or heading home at night.
That often leaves the question open of what are all these soldiers doing during the workday on Fort Riley.
Command Sergeant Major Christopher Gilpin tried to provide some insight and answer that very question during Thursday morning’s Mil-itary Affairs Council breakfast.
Six enlisted soldiers introduced themselves to about 100 in attendance at the monthly gather-ing.
“These are the exam-ples of some of our junior enlisted soldiers,” Gilpin said. “They are motivat-ed, intelligent, articulate and they are the reason we are successful as an army. Their hard work accomplishing assigned
missions is how we are successful today.”
Everything starts when soldiers reach their duty station of Fort Riley.
Gilpin said in any given week, 120 new soldiers arrive at Fort Riley. They then spend five days at the welcome center fill-ing out paperwork, go through briefings and ensuring their transition to the installation is smooth
They then head to their assigned housing, wheth-er that is for single or married soldiers. There are a total of about 19,000 soldiers and 26,000 family members to accommo-date.
Single soldiers live in barracks that include a private area for individu-al soldiers with shared areas also. That is much different than years ago, where four or six soldiers would live in an area with little privacy.

6:30 to 7:30 a.m. — phys-ical training on post
7:30 to 9 a.m. — hygiene and breakfast
9 a.m. — report for for-mation and duty, training
11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. — lunch
1:30 p.m. — on duty5 p.m. — duty day ends
TrainingThis will depend on
where the soldier is and the soldier’s Military Occupation Specialty (MOS).
Varieties of regular training include simula-tions, weapons qualifica-tions, land navigation,
mechanical inspections and field exercises.
Gunnery in the field is key as soldiers prepare for war time missions, Gilpin said.
“In order to go on a war time mission, the crews have to be qualified on the weapon systems,” he said. “That’s where they demonstrate the ability to destroy targets.”
Live fire training also is occurring on Fort Riley. Gilpin said that starts at the lowest levels, includ-ing dry runs, blanks, live fire and then night fire. It also includes mortar fire, building clearing and infantry squad maneu-vers.
If a unit is not in the training cycle, soldiers
are detailed out around post, including working in the gym, performing services, cleaning up training areas and cut-ting the grass on post.
Schools and education also are key to a soldier’s regular development and includes equipment train-ing, noncommissioned officers school and driv-ers training.
During the time when the soldiers are out train-ing, support soldiers, such as those focused on financial, legal, supplies, administrative and intel-ligence also are working alongside those soldiers training.
“All this is geared toward the end result to prepare out soldiers on a
daily basis systematically to serve their unit and nation when asked to deploy,” Gilpin said. “It is a structured process to ensure they are all fit and ready to serve.”

NatioNal News4A The Daily Union. Saturday, Sept. 28, 2013
MARINGA, Brazil — Dan slurped desperately on his pink nursing bottle and spilled milk all over the place, while his brother Tom patiently waited to take a swim in the family pool.
It would be a typical fam-ily scene if not for the fact that Dan and Tom tip the scales at 700 pounds, have claws that could slice a man in two and were raised along with seven other tigers sleeping in the beds of Ary Borges’ three daugh-ters.
The big cats still amble about his humble home in the middle of an industrial neighborhood in this south-ern Brazil city, even if experts say the situation is “crazy” and sure to eventu-ally lead to a mauling, though one has yet to occur.
Borges also has two lions, a monkey, and a pet Chi-huahua named Little inside his makeshift animal sanc-tuary, where man and beast live together in his spacious red-dirt compound, sepa-rated from the outside world by tall metal fences and high wooden walls.
The Brazilian family is now locked in a legal dis-pute for the cats, with fed-eral wildlife officials work-ing to take them away. While Borges does have a license to raise the animals, Brazilian wildlife officials say he illegally bred the tigers, creating a public danger.
Borges says it all started in 2005 when he first res-cued two abused tigers from a traveling circus. He defends his right to breed the animals and argues he gives them a better home than they might find else-where in Brazil.
“Sadly there are so many animals dying in zoos that have no oversight. My ani-mals are treated extremely
well ... we’re preserving and conserving the spe-cies,” he said. “We have a great team of veterinari-ans. We give them only the best, but we’re being perse-cuted.”
Ibama, Brazil’s environ-mental protection agency that also oversees wildlife, declined repeated requests for comment.
The agency is working through courts to force Borges to have the male tigers undergo vasectomies so they can’t reproduce. It also wants his caretaker license confiscated and to obtain the cats. Borges appealed and the matter is pending before a federal court.
Borges has strong sup-port in Maringa for his cause, and earlier this year the city council passed a measure that banned vasec-tomies on wild animals within city limits.
Next door to the tiger compound, Marli Mendes can see the big cats from
her office window. “I have nothing against them, they really don’t bother,” she says.
So far, there have been no incidents with the tigers turning aggressive, which the Borges family attributes to cats being raised in such close proximity with humans.
Ary’s daughter Nayara Borges, 20, who grew up with the tiger cubs sleeping in her bed until they became too big, says she thinks the big cats would be mistreat-ed if taken away, “and our family would go into a severe depression.”
Her sister Uyara, 23, agreed, saying the cats are family after spending so many years with the Borg-es.
“At first we were scared of them, but as time went on, we saw them every day, fed them, gave them baths and water, and we started to fall in love with them,” Uyara said. “We never thought we could live with
such ferocious animals.”Uyara trusts the cats so
much, she even allows her 2-year-old daughter Rayara to sit atop them.
Experts, however, sharp-ly question the Borges fam-ily’s efforts.
“It’s crazy,” said Patty Finch, executive director of the Washington-based Global Federation of Ani-mal Sanctuaries. “It’s a very dangerous situation, especially if there are young children around, they easily trigger a tiger’s hunting instinct.”
Finch said that “you will see people sometimes get lucky for a while, but soon-er or later an accident is going to happen. You never know what’s going to set these animals off because they’re wild.”
Instead of promoting the animal’s welfare, Finch said the Borges have done the opposite.
“Breeding in captivity doesn’t help conserve the tigers unless they’re bred
in their native habitat and there is a plan to release them,” she said. “They can’t get habituated to people. They’re condemning these tigers to a life of captivity.”
Upkeep for the tigers and lions costs about $9,000 per month. Borges pays for it by renting the tigers out for movie and commercial shoots, charging $9,000 a day, and with the money he makes in running a dog kennel within his com-pound.
Inside a high fenced-in area where the tigers now sleep, Borges roughhoused with the animals, playfully slapping one on the flank and then leapt atop him, holding onto the animal’s fur with both fists and grin-ning widely as the cat growled.
“My father would die or kill himself if these tigers are taken away,” Uyara said. “They’re everything to us, they’re my brothers. We’ve lived with them day and night for eight years.”

WASHINGTON — This time, President Barack Obama says, he’s not budging. This is the confronta-tional Obama, the “Make my day” president, betting Republicans blink to avoid a government shut-down or a first-ever default of the nation’s debts.
It’s a proposition not without risk and one with a history of last-minute accommodations on both sides. Brinkmanship between Obama and congressional Repub-licans has often stopped at the precipice’s edge.
In this round, however, the pres-ident and his aides maintain that when it comes to raising the gov-ernment’s borrowing authority and meeting its debt obligations, there’s no bargaining. To conser-vatives wishing to undo the 3-year-
old health care law in exchange for an increase in the nation’s credit, Obama on Friday said bluntly: “That’s not going to happen.”
“I don’t know how I can be more clear about this: Nobody gets to threaten the full faith and credit of the United States just to extract political concessions,” Obama said in a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room.
Still, House Speaker John Boeh-ner says a debt hike must be linked to budget cuts and other program-matic changes.
“The president says, ‘I’m not going to negotiate,”’ Boehner said. “Well, I’m sorry, but it just doesn’t work that way.”
Obama’s stance is rooted in experience, politics and a desire to protect himself from similar demands in the remaining three years of his presidency.
Obama advisers note that past negotiations have not yielded grand bargains and that the mere threat of default in 2011 rattled the economy, causing a downgrade in U.S. credit. Talks earlier this year to avoid automatic spending cuts known as sequestration also failed.
Obama aides also note that Boehner himself eight months ago declared an end to negotiations with Obama, favoring the regular legislative process instead.
That process has proved messy for the GOP, and senior White House aides insist that in a stand-off, Republicans will be perceived as the unreasonable party. And the White House is convinced any concession would place the presi-dent in the position of having to bargain again and again when the next debt ceiling looms.
“I’m not going to start setting a precedent, not just for me, but for future presidents, where one chamber in Congress can basically say each time there needs to be a vote to make sure Treasury pays its bills, we’re not going to sign it unless our particular hobby horse gets advanced,” Obama said Fri-day.
His advisers only see a downside if Obama doesn’t stand his ground.
“Every poll I’ve seen suggests that while no one escapes cleanly from a shutdown, the GOP would bear the brunt,” former senior White House counselor and Obama adviser David Axelrod said. “The bigger danger for the president is to put himself in a position to be constantly held hostage. First they want an arm. Then they want a leg. It’s unsustainable.”
Obama’s no-negotiation stance setting new tone
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Breaking a third-of-a-cen-tury diplomatic freeze, President Barack Obama and new Iranian Presi-dent Hassan Rouhani spoke by telephone on Friday and, in a historic shift from years of unwav-ering animosity, agreed to work toward resolving their deep dispute over Tehran’s nuclear efforts.
Rouhani, who earlier in the day called the United States a “great” nation, reached out to arrange the call. The White House said an encouraging meeting between Secre-tary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Min-ister Mohammad Javad Zarif this week was a cru-cial factor in the thaw.
“While there will sure-ly be important obstacles to moving forward, and success is by no means guaranteed, I believe we can reach a comprehen-sive solution,” Obama told reporters at the White House.
Rouhani, at a news con-ference in New York, linked the U.S. and Iran as “great nations,” a remarkable reversal from the anti-American rheto-ric of his predecessors, and he expressed hope that at the very least the two governments can stop the escalation of ten-sions.
Rouhani has repeatedly stressed that he has ‘’full authority” in his outreach to the U.S., a reference to the apparent backing by Iran’s ultimate decision-maker: Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Such support would give Rouhani a political man-date that could extend beyond the nuclear issue to possible broader efforts at ending the long estrangement between Washington and Tehran.
It remains unclear, how-ever, whether obstacles will be raised by Iran’s hard-line forces such the powerful Revolutionary Guard, which had warned Rouhani about moving too fast with his overtures with the West.
Friday’s telephone call — Obama at the White House, Rouhani in a lim-ousine on the way to the airport after diplomatic meetings at the United Nations — marked per-haps the most hopeful steps toward reconcilia-tion in decades.

Letter to the Editor
Betting it allWorking in a newspaper office has to be one
of the best atmospheres anywhere. I can’t imagine anything better than being in the
newsroom when reporters are on deadline or dis-cussions about how to cover a story or what’s going on the world get passionate and even sometimes heated.
But there’s something even better about a news-room and those who work at a paper. It feels more like a family most of the time than a workplace.
So, with that, comes interesting dynamics, friend-ships and situations. Having so many people from
different areas of the country here makes it even more interesting.
I can’t lie, it’s especially fun dur-ing the college and pro football sea-sons. I love those K-State people wearing their purple every Friday before game day and loving their team no matter what. The battle between KU and K-State fans is intriguing. It’s also interesting to watch folks from other areas and states give them both the business every chance they can.
With Wisconsin being in the Big 10, I don’t catch much grief. Well, that was until this week.
A bet to go back on?I am a person of my word, so there will be no
dumping out of this wager. However, I am con-cerned I will have to “pay up.”
On Monday, I walked into the office and was immediately greeted by our circulation manager Matt Bailey with a question about whether we should “bet” on the football game between the 24th-ranked Wisconsin Badgers and the No. 4 Ohio State Buckeyes.
Let’s just say I’m not a morning person and wasn’t fully functioning. OK, so he caught me off guard big time. Also, I am just a little competitive and certainly wasn’t about to let this relatively new guy intimidate me.
So the “bet” is on. No, there’s not a single penny in it for either of us.
Instead, it’s about bragging rights and embar-rassment for the fan of the losing squad.
Here’s the situation. I am asking all you K-State fans whose team is not playing this weekend to cheer for the underdog Badgers in this Saturday night matchup. I need all the help I can get.
On Monday morning, the loser will “pay up.” Make sure you go to our Facebook page to find out the stakes of the bet. One of us is going to be look-ing very sad.
If only the bet was to provide some beer and cheese.

Going to hell (without a handbasket)While writing my latest book,
“Killing Jesus,” I knew I would catch hell once it hit the mar-
ketplace. Your mom was right when she told you never to discuss politics and religion, because emotions run so high in those arenas. Especially reli-gion.
Even before “Killing Jesus” was released, the mail began pouring in. And some of it was very nasty.
Brent in Texas opined: “O’Reilly, you are not someone who has the right to write a book about Jesus.”
Eric in South Carolina: “You are helping to deceive people with your ignorance about Jesus.”
Al in Louisiana: “Bill, what do you know about Jesus? You are Catholic, and they don’t know anything about the Bible.”
And Raleigh in California really let loose with some disturbing stuff: “Bill, please repent before it is too late. You seem to be angry at God because he put a black man in the White House.”
Of course, none of these folks had actually read “Killing Jesus,” because it had not been released. The book is pure history; there is no religion in it.
The people lashing out at me for daring to address their savior in any capacity are so intense in their beliefs that they have lost all sight of reality.
Now, a sad fact of life in America is that there are some very unstable folks running around, and they have always been with us. But from my perch as a national TV commentator, I can tell you with certainty that the level of fanaticism is rising not only here, but all over the world.
The reason is the Internet. In the past, kooks were kind of isolated. But now they can find other loons in cyber-space with whom to commiserate. That encourages bizarre behavior, as dis-turbed people think their outlook is acceptable because others are saying the same thing on their machines.
The chief al-Qaida recruiting tool is the Internet. Neo-Nazis campaign heav-ily in cyberspace. NAMBLA, the child rape club, has a worldwide presence on the ‘Net.
There is little anyone can do with fanatics. Reasoning with them is a fool’s errand. Avoiding them is manda-tory. These people are dangerous. They spread poison and could not care less who they hurt. Thus, the Internet has become a hate-filled town square with no limits put on destructive verbal behavior.
And millions of children have access to all the vitriol.
Freedom has always had a downside. With technology allowing for instant communication, hate groups, perverts and killers now have many more oppor-tunities to cause harm than ever before. Again, there’s little anyone can do about it.
But everyone should be aware of it.

Conservatives oppose Obamacare because it may succeed
Even acknowledging that our national politics have become increasingly contentious, here’s
a development that is really odd: Two billionaire brothers are spending mil-lions of dollars to try to persuade young Americans not to buy health insur-ance. What’s up with that?
The industrialist Koch brothers, David and Charles, are among the very richest Americans — indeed, among the very richest people on the planet. They are not merely members of the 1 percent; they’re in the topmost fraction of the 1 percent.
That means that they not only can afford to buy health insurance for themselves, but they can also buy phy-sicians, hospitals, medical labs and pharmacies if they choose to do so. They have access to the very best medi-cal care that money can buy -- and, in America, that’s the difference between life and death.
But unlike, say, Bill Gates, the found-er of Microsoft, the Koch brothers have not concerned themselves with trying to make life a bit more comfortable and pleasant for others. Oh, no. The Koch brothers are the very stereotype of the greedy and selfish hyper-rich, the post-er boys for self-interested plutocracy. They want to control the country’s politics — no matter who gets hurt in their grab for power.
That’s why they’ve funded ultracon-servative candidates and political causes over the past couple of decades. Their to-do list includes aiding the effort to torpedo the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, popularly known as Obamacare. Among the polit-ical groups they fund is an outfit called Generation Opportunity, which is run-ning a creepy ad to persuade young women of a lie: that Obamacare comes
between a patient and her physician.The Koch brothers know that the
new health care paradigm depends on enlisting healthy young adults — peo-ple who tend to take the risk that they don’t need health insurance — into the system.
If they don’t sign up, the new exchanges won’t have enough vigorous and youthful Americans to help pay the way for the sick and frail. Insur-ance companies need to be able to spread the costs around so they don’t go bankrupt trying to care for the ail-ing.
But the Koch brothers, like most con-servatives, want Obamacare to fail. They are not concerned that the new health care law, which would extend insurance to the vast majority for the first time in history, is a “government takeover” of medicine or a “jobs-killer” or a ruinous new entitlement. None of that is true. (See factcheck.org or Poli-tifact.com for actual facts about Obam-acare.)
Nope, the real concern of most con-servatives is that Obamacare will work, proving popular over the long run. Think about it: If they are so certain that the law will collapse under its own weight, why not step aside and allow it to do so? Why do they need to try to defund it and create creepy ads trying to persuade young people not to buy in? Why did they warn the National Foot-
ball League not to promote the new health care exchanges?
If Obamacare succeeds, the genera-tions-long conservative war against activist government would have lost another major battle, and more voters would be persuaded to vote for progres-sives. That’s the reason conservatives went all-out to defeat President Clin-ton’s similar health care proposal dur-ing his first term.
As Weekly Standard editor William Kristol, then fresh off his stint as Vice President Dan Quayle’s chief of staff, wrote in 1993: “... the long-term politi-cal effects of a successful Clinton health care bill will ... relegitimize mid-dle-class dependence for ‘security’ on government spending and regulation. It will revive the reputation of the party that spends and regulates, the Democrats, as the generous protector of middle-class interests.”
There you have it. They don’t dare allow Obamacare to proceed unimped-ed because Americans might come to like it and depend on it, as the elderly like and depend on Medicare. Indeed, conservatives, including Ronald Rea-gan, fought the creation of Medicare, claiming it was pure socialism.
Meanwhile, the Americans who would suffer most if Obamacare doesn’t succeed are those without health insur-ance or the promise of decent medical care. That includes the young adults who could be victims of terrible acci-dents or unforeseen diseases. Not that the Koch brothers care about them.

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

News from around KansasMissouri man gets life sentence for robbing banks
JEFFERSON CITY — A 40-year-old man with a his-tory of robbing banks in Kansas and Missouri has been sentenced to life in prison for two holdups he was convicted of commit-ting last year.
The U.S. Attorney’s office says Eddie Prince Roberts, of Columbia, won’t be eli-gible for parole under the sentence he received Fri-day in federal court.
Roberts was convicted earlier of robbing Boone County National Bank in Columbia of more than $4,400 in April 2012, and Landmark Bank in Colum-bia of roughly $8,200 the following month.
He was arrested after the Landmark robbery follow-ing a foot chase in which he fought with an officer and was shot during the encoun-ter.
Roberts was convicted in 1993 of robbing five banks in Kansas. He was also con-victed of robbing a Mis-souri bank in 2000.
Washburn celebrates
namesake’s 215th birthday
TOPEKA— Washburn University is celebrating
the 215th birthday of its namesake and mascot Sat-urday in the Memorial Union.
The Topeka school start-ed in 1865 as Lincoln College but changed its name three years later after receiving $25,000 from Ichabod Wash-burn. He developed a machine and technique that made wire stronger and eas-ier to produce. The company he and his son-in-law ran was the primary domestic producer of piano wire and the crinoline wire used in hoop skirts.
As an abolitionist, Wash-burn liked what the fledg-ing Kansas school was doing. The school included men, women and an Afri-can-American in its first enrolled class. The college also offered scholarships to honorably discharged Union soldiers among oth-ers.
Washburn lived in Mas-sachusetts and died before getting a chance to visit the campus.
Kansas seeks federal aid for
summer stormsTOPEKA — Kansas Gov.
Sam Brownback has request-ed a federal disaster declara-tion for 47 of the state’s 105 counties to help residents and local governments recov-er from a string of severe storms and flooding.
The Kansas Division of
Emergency Management said Friday that Brownback requested the declaration in a letter to President Barack Obama sent through the Kansas City, Mo., regional office of the Federal Emer-gency Management Agency. The letter was dated Wednes-day.
A series of storms hit Kan-sas between July 22 and Aug. 16, producing significant
damage from high winds and flooding. The storms were blamed on four deaths.
Brownback said in his let-ter that some of the areas received as much as 500 per-cent of their normal rainfall total for that time of year, resulting in many roads, bridges and other infrastruc-ture being damaged.
“For those families that lost loved ones, life can never
return to what it was and to them I extend my sincere condolences,” Brownback said. “This federal assistance will at least help the affected counties restore their dam-aged infrastructure so their residents can resume their normal routines.”
Brownback is seeking a declaration for Barber, Bar-ton, Bourbon, Butler, Chase, Cherokee, Clark, Clay, Cloud,
Coffey, Comanche, Cowley, Crawford, Dickinson, Edwards, Elk, Ellsworth, Ford, Geary, Greenwood, Hamilton, Harper, Harvey, Hodgeman, Kingman, Kiowa, Labette, Lane, Linn, Lyon, Marion, McPherson, Meade, Montgomery, Morris, Ness, Ottawa, Pawnee, Pratt, Reno, Republic, Rice, Saline, Sum-ner, Washington, Wilson, Woodson counties.

Central National Bank has announced a new fea-ture within their smart phone app.
Mobile deposit allows customers to deposit checks to their account simply by taking photos of their checks.
To use Mobile Deposit, customers must be signed up for online banking and have the Android, iPhone or iPad app.
The app uploads check images securely to the bank for processing and funds appear in the account after processing at the end of the business day. Check data is encrypted using SSL
(Secure Socket Layer) data encryption.
In the event that a mobile device is lost, customers should note that no account data is stored on the device itself, which offers another layer of protection.
“We’re very excited to offer this convenience to our customers,” said Scott Rock, Product Development Specialist. “We focus on innovation and services that make banking simpler and save our customers’ time.”
For more details about the program, or to sign up, visit the bank website at www.centralnational.com/
convenience/mobiledepsit.asp.

MANHATTAN — The architect team of Ebert Mayo/PGAV has been selected for the new Col-lege of Business Admin-istration building at Kan-sas State University. The team was chosen through a national competition conducted this summer.
Construction is expect-ed to start in September 2014 and be completed in July 2016.
The new home of the College of Business Administration will have 140,000 square feet of space featuring tiered classrooms, a large show-case lecture hall, comput-er labs, a financial
research lab and an exec-utive conference room. The plans include dedi-cated space for entrepre-neurship and sales edu-cation, as well as space for study, collaboration and networking through-out the building. The goal is to deliver the brightest future possible for busi-ness students, including collaboration with indus-try and networking opportunities from the start of their college careers.
“We are delighted with the selection of Ebert Mayo/PGAV for this proj-ect,” said Ali Malekzadeh, Edgerley family dean of
the college. “Their exper-tise in designing academ-ic buildings and experi-ence with the Kansas State campus will greatly benefit the college.”
The Ebert Mayo Design Group is a full-service architecture and design firm based in Manhattan that has an established relationship with Kansas State University. The firm’s work at the univer-sity includes the parking garage; renovations to the K-State Student Union, Seaton Hall and Calvin Hall; and the addi-tion to the Chester E. Peters Recreation Com-plex.

Dear Annie: I am a 64-year-old male with decent looks and of average height.
I’m a few pounds over-weight, but I am not sloppy. I was married before, but have not had very much luck when it comes to the fairer sex.
What sets me apart are two very obvious facts: One, I am disabled. When a woman looks at me, she focuses on my cane.
Two, I live in a senior complex on a limited income from social securi-ty.
It doesn’t matter that I can offer a woman warmth, tenderness, kindness and love.
Once more, I have been used and dumped by anoth-er woman who promised the moon and then shat-tered my lonely heart.
I have had enough.I am tired. I just wanted
you to know that there is one nice guy left out here. — Jay
Dear Jay: We are certain you aren’t the only one, and we sympathize. It is hard to be alone when you crave intimacy.
We are undoubtedly going to be inundated with letters from equally lonely women who want to meet you. They, too, are looking for companionship, warmth, tenderness, kindness and love.
However, even with your disability and your living situation, you apparently have been able to attract women.
Why they keep breaking your heart is not explained by those issues. It might be enormously helpful to ask one of them to give you an honest critique of why she left.
Listen with an open mind instead of a wounded heart, and you may learn some-thing about yourself.
It might help.Dear Annie: I never
understood why my mother didn’t like me.
I did everything possible to get her to love me, but it never happened.
She even helped my ex-husband kidnap my son. I forgave each hurt but learned not to trust her.
Finally, at the age of 56, I looked up her personality traits on the Internet, and there she was: a “narcissis-tic parent.”
I recently was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
When I explained the bone pain, my mother sud-denly complained of simi-lar pain and insisted on numerous tests that showed nothing.
She could not tolerate the attention I was receiving. She even told me she “had to” put down her dog a month earlier than neces-sary because, of course, she
“needed” to be with me. This is the kind of love I get from her.
When I was a child, she convinced everyone that I was evil.
Now my mother has started forgetting her lies, and people have figured her out. Several family mem-bers have apologized to me for not seeing through her.
I don’t blame them. She is very good at what she does.
But I am finally free of her. I also know I am a good person.
I only wish I had had this information years ago. I hope this helps some other adult child learn how to deal with a nasty, vindic-tive parent — Not an Evil Child Anymore
Dear Not: We are so sorry that you’ve had such a stressful relationship with your difficult mother, and that at a time in your life when you could use the comfort of a loving parent, you cannot turn to her. Please know our thoughts are with you.
Dear Annie: This is in response to “Begging for Mummy and Daddy.”
I am a heroin addict who has been clean for 20 years. Going to Narcotics Anony-mous meetings is the best thing he can do.
I went to six meetings a week and met the nicest and most caring people.
These people will help you get clean if you want it.
Please don’t give up because your parents don’t understand.
When you do get clean, look better and start to work, your parents will realize the mistake they made.
Living clean has been nothing but a blessing.
I have a great wife and two beautiful children, so anything is possible. — Twenty Years Clean

ARIES (March 21—April 19). Regard-ing social interaction, you can just relax. You don’t have to create interest or intrigue, because someone is already naturally interested in you and intrigued about what you’ll do next.
TAURUS (April 20—May 20). With your personality being amplified now, you’ll be in no mood to deal with the obvious questions. There is an opportu-nity in this. You can have fun by answering them in not so obvious ways.
GEMINI (May 21—June 21). Because you’re game to join people in their adven-tures, you’ll experience something you wouldn’t have thought of on your own. Bonus: Your mind will be freed by laugh-ter, and your heart will be healed with hugs.
CANCER (June 22—July 22). It won’t matter whether you win or lose today. What will matter is how much you want to win. There’s a magical power that will be released in your wanting something dearly.
LEO (July 23—Aug. 22). First encoun-ters will deliver a strong message. If someone is not there for what you need the first time around, chances are you won’t be needing that person again.
VIRGO (Aug. 23—Sept. 22). You’ll be involved in a highly creative process. Only you can decide which flaws are really mistakes and which are the imperfections that make real art.
LIBRA (Sept. 23—Oct. 23). There’s no such thing as a general change that doesn’t affect you personally. That’s why you’ll stay aware of all that’s going on. Your big—picture thinking will be an asset to your team.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24—Nov. 21). You have no desire for social rank, and that’s pre-cisely what fuels the esteem others have for you. Your lack of a personal agenda makes you comfortable to be around.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22—Dec. 21). Why wait until things aren’t going your way to ask for spiritual guidance? The work you do to increase your intuitive abilities and spiritual awareness will make a good time even better.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22—Jan. 19). Even though you’re very casual and understat-ed, there’s something in your energy that invites people to share their passions with you and talk about what they find mean-ingful.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20—Feb. 18). It seems the universe is intent on posing interesting questions for you to answer. But even when the questions are dull, your witty answers will delight your audi-ence.
PISCES (Feb. 19—March 20). Just because people laugh doesn’t mean it’s funny. You’ll be the moral compass of a group. You’re not swayed by what every-one else is doing —— you make your own decisions.

MANHATTAN — Anoth-er enrollment record has fallen at Kansas State Uni-versity. This fall, 24,581 stu-dents make up the largest enrollment in the universi-ty’s 150-year history.
The Manhattan campus welcomed 302 more stu-dents this fall compared to a year ago.
“Manhattan is a growing, vibrant, classic college town that students want to be a part of, no matter where they’re from,” said Pat Bosco, vice president for student life and dean of stu-dents. “We’re the No. 1 choice for Kansas high school seniors. We have a student body that’s larger and more diverse than ever. Among Kansas public uni-versities, we have the high-est percentage of freshmen who return their sopho-more year because K-State continually strives to pro-vide students the best undergraduate experi-ence.”
The most diverse student body in university history includes 3,458 who identify
as black, Hispanic, Asian, American Indian, Hawai-ian/Pacific islander or multiracial. In fall 2012 that number was 3,379.
“Of course, I am very pleased — year after year of record multicultural student enrollments,” said Myra Gordon, associate provost for diversity. “Last year we had more African-American students than any other Kansas Board of Regents institution. This year we have more Hispan-ic students. We are realiz-ing our goal of being the university of choice for multicultural students in the region and beyond. I thank everyone for their hard work.”
This fall 2,106 students came to K-State from more than 100 countries. That’s a one-year increase of 61 international students.
“When students and par-ents see that we aspire to become a Top 50 public research university by 2025, they realize that this is a place where students can set their own big goals and find the encourage-ment and support to achieve them,” said Presi-dent Kirk Schulz.

Charles Plumb was a Navy jet pilot. On his 76th combat
mission, he was shot down and parachuted into enemy territory. He was captured and spent six years in prison. He survived and went on to lecture about his experi-ences.
One day, a man approached Plumb at a restaurant and asked, “Are you Plumb the Navy pilot?” “Yes, how did you know?” answered Plumb. “I packed your parachute,” the man replied. Plumb was taken back, but grate-ful. “If the chute you packed hadn’t worked, I wouldn’t be here today.”
Plumb realized that the anonymous sailors who packed the parachutes held the pilots’ lives in their hands, and yet the pilots never gave these sailors a second thought, never even said hello, let alone say thanks.
Now, Plumb asks his audiences, “Who packs your parachutes? Who helps and supports you
physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritu-ally? It’s important to think about who helps you and recognize them and say thanks,” he said.
Geary Community Hospital will thank its “parachute packers” who have reached service mile-stones in five-year incre-ments at the 14th annual GCH Recognition Banquet on Oct. 29, at the Geary County Convention Cen-ter. In all, these 40 employ-ees have 440 years of ser-vice at GCH.
Topping the list of hon-orees this year is Tami Love, Rago Radiology, with 30 years.
Next with 25 years are
Karen Connell, Surgery Center, and Valerie Dar-land, Rago Radiology.
Celebrating 15 years of service are Debra Blocker and Jody Hittle, Surgery Center; Collett Campbell, Med/Surg Unit; Carolyn Dasher, General Account-ing; Rey Dela Cruz, Envi-ronmental Services; Jolyn-da Ernst, Health Informa-tion Management; Jody Jenkins and Jennifer Kirk-patrick, Practice Manage-ment; Mark Leonard, Fegan ICU; and Gloria Meyer, Patient Financial Services.
Those with 10 years include Karl DeArmond, Information Systems; Les-lie Fetters, Obstetrics;
Christina Gantenbein, Kourtni Rapp and Christi-na Reed, Health Informa-tion Management; Lydia Harrel, Environmental Services; Lanenisa McGowan, Med/Surg Unit; Brad Meier, Practice Man-agement; Lori Miller, Patient Financial Servic-es; Tammy Moser, Rago Cardiopulmonary; Darren Rumford, Administration; Kathy Schwartz, Nursing Administration; Shari Steadham, Patient Access; Latesha Tooley, Nutrition Services; and Helenn Walsh, Hospice.
Tapping in with 5 years are Chad Bennett, Infor-mation Systems; Brandon and Chelsea Douthit, Envi-
ronmental Services; Jamee Edmonson, Home Health; Julie Hatesohl, Patient Financial Services; Gar-rett Heath, Maintenance; Jennifer Heller and Amy Perta, Practice Manage-ment; Teto Henderson, Human Resources; Bonnie McMillan, Environmental Services; Suzann Pryor-Smith, Rago Radiology; and Jamie Woodward, Sur-gery Center.
To these and all of our dedicated and talented employees — thanks for packing our parachutes.

The “Its About Me” Breast Cancer Awareness Association has received a grant from Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Their promise is to save lives and end breast can-cer forever by empower-ing people, ensuring qual-ity care for all and ener-gizing science to fine the cures. The Association is pleased to sponsor, in cooperation with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure an opportunity to offer a Women’s Breast Cancer Health Expo & Luncheon in the Geary County area from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 12, at the Courtyard by the Marriott/Geary County Convention Cen-ter located at 310 Ham-mons Drive.
Our sub-title is “ Fol-low the Pink Brick Road”. This event has been offered to women and men in the Geary County and the surrounding areas for the past eleven years, promoting health education to all individu-als interested in or impacted by breast can-cer.
The purpose of our Women’s Breast Cancer Health & Luncheon Expo is to also empower the community by promoting prevention, awareness and making healthy choices for a healthy body. Guest speakers, participants, exhibitors, door prizes, and fun activ-ities.
Come and join us in co-
creating a positive atmo-sphere.
What makes this Wom-en’s Breast Cancer Health Expo & Luncheon unique from other Breast Cancer Health Events is that it is held during the month of October which is the month for National Cam-paign for Breast Cancer Awareness. It is joining with many leading orga-nizations in the commu-nity and surrounding areas to kick it off.
We all know that women can spend time year round caring for their families, their spouses, and even their friends. We are focusing on women
to remind them not to neglect their own health and encourage them to start on the path to healthier living.
Each participating organization in the Wom-en’s Breast Cancer Health Expo & Luncheon will host a “health booth” with information, stories and resources about a range of conditions and issues that affect women. In addition, there will be feature articles on health issues, tools to help track nutrition, physical activ-ity, medications and mood, and a robust of information to discuss how to tackle some of the
most pressing health challenges women face.
To provide further assistance, the workshops will feature expert-led groups to help women meet breast health and wellness goals, such as prevention, losing weight, survivorship, quitting smoking and drinking, decreasing stress and improving their relation-ships. Participants and exhibitors will complete an evaluation at the end of the program. Oct. 4 is the deadline for registra-tion.
The registration forms are located at: Central National Banks, Bram-
lage Public Library, Konza Prairie Communi-ty Health & Dental Cen-ter, Geary County Health Department, Geary Rehab 7 Fitness Center, Mercy Regional Health Center, Geary Community Hospi-tal, Junction City munici-pal Building, YMCA, Curves, Sunflower Bank, First National Bank, Daily Union Newspaper, iambcaa.org and by call-ing the office at (785) 238-8179.

LITTLE ROCK — Arkan-sas became the first state on Friday to win federal approval to use Medicaid funding to purchase private insurance for thousands of low-income residents under the federal health care law, clearing the way for a model that several other states are eyeing.
The Centers for Medi-care and Medicaid Services approved the state’s request to implement the “private option” plan as an alterna-tive to expanding Medic-aid’s enrollment. Arkansas formally submitted its request to the federal gov-ernment last month after the plan was approved in April by the state’s Repub-lican-controlled Legisla-ture and Democratic gover-
nor.Supporters of the presi-
dent’s health care overhaul have pointed to Arkansas as an example of a Republi-can-trending state that is still implementing a key part of the 2010 law, and several states have expressed interest in a similar approach. Penn-sylvania Gov. Tom Cor-bett, a Republican, earlier this month submitted to the federal government a proposal inspired by Arkansas’ plan.
“Arkansas and CMS worked together to find flexibilities that gave the state the tools to build a program that worked for them and their residents,” CMS spokeswoman Emma Sandoe said in an email. “We appreciate the collaboration with Arkan-
sas throughout the process and applaud their commit-ment to providing Arkan-sans with access to high, quality health coverage.”
Under the private-option law approved in Arkansas earlier this year, the state will accept the federal
money allocated for Medic-aid expansion under the federal health care over-haul but will use it to buy private insurance for about 250,000 eligible low-income residents. Those individu-als who earn up to 138 per-cent of the poverty line —
or $15,415 per year — would purchase subsidized pri-vate insurance through the state’s insurance exchange.
Open enrollment for the exchange begins Tuesday, with coverage to begin Jan. 1.

expires February 2015, the council must show how it’s using those dollars. It also needs to come up with a match of about $1.2 mil-lion.
“We are behind meeting the match requirements by HUD and HUD’s taking a hard look at that right now,” Clark said. “So we have some work to do.”
To address that issue, Clark said the FHRC is planning to seek out those who pledged to help fund the match portion of the grant and request addition-al assistance.
Clark also is hoping he and FHRC staff members can negotiate an extension of the grant, which has reached about 58 percent of its lifespan.
However, the council only has spent about 37 percent of its grants funds, so far, according to figures shared by Clark.
Fast forward to a year
from now and the HUD grant will have reached 86 percent of its lifespan. The council is projected to have spent about 80 percent of the funds.
“That tells me we have some capacity if we can extend the life of the grant,” Clark said.
Clark is hopeful he and staff members can per-suade HUD officials to give the FHRC a couple more months to spend the grant funds.
Even that’s a temporary fix, though.
“We have 15 months to figure out how to become self-sustaining over time,”
Clark said.He and staff also are
busy working on locating other possible sources of revenue.
One funding option would be to seek federal urban transportation funds, for which the Kan-sas Department of Trans-portation (KDOT) looks for a recipient.
That option requires the FHRC to make changes to its articles of incorpora-tion to allow it to deliver public transit services in the area with the funds.
Some of those funds could then be used for FHRC staff salary, which
Clark said would help make up part of the budget defi-cit.
“If we decide to do that, then we can go through and receive those funds from KDOT,” Clark said.
The council later voted to make the necessary changes, which now allows staff to look further into that option.
T h e F H R C ’ s Flint Hills F r o n t i e r s P r o j e c t , w h i c h relies on the HUD funds, also represents an option for future funding.
The project’s goal is to develop a strategy to make Flint Hills communities more vibrant by focusing on the common issues of economic vitality, national defense and cultural and natural resource preserva-tion.
Clark said the Frontiers
Project, when complete, could be eligible for a $60,000 federal grant.
Another potential source of revenue is a new Office of Economic Adjustment Grant that allows the mili-tary to “partner check-books” with local commu-nities, Clark said.
“Fort Riley is really lead-ing the Army when it comes to this initia-tive,” he said.
U n t i l more of t h o s e options are e x p l o r e d f u r t h e r , Clark said
he would keep his promise of transparency when it concerns money.
“My pledge to you is I will come back probably quarterly and present to you the board options (for funds),” Clark said.
The Flint Hills Regional Council was launched in
2010 to address the com-mon opportunities and threats facing the central Flint Hills of Kansas.
Its volunteer board is comprised mostly of elect-ed officials representing its members municipalities. Advisory members include representatives from Fort Riley, Kansas State Univer-sity and the Governor’s Military Council.

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

Celebrating 10 years
at the churchNext week, Zion United Church of
Christ will celebrate 10 years of wor-shiping at its current location at 1811 McFarland Road.
The celebration is scheduled for 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 6.
It also will include the installation of Rev. Nikki Woolsey.
“She’s wonderful,” said Janette Vogelsang, president of the consistory. “What I think is so encouraging is that she has good ideas and is full of life.”
David Rankin, organist and director of music at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Salina, is scheduled to perform a recital. The church also is celebrating its 10-year-old organ.
A special offering for the ongoing support of the building fund will be held and a reception will follow in the Fel-lowship Hall.
Zion United Church of Christ was established in 1884 and has deep roots in the community.
It originally stood on Ninth Street, but burned down after a lightning strike in 2001. The congregation moved into the current building on McFarland Road in 2003.
“We worked hard and everybody pulled together,” Vogelsang said.
When the fire occurred, Vogelsang was in Canada with her husband Doug, visiting their daughter. She received a call from her sister.
“Are you sitting down,” Vogelsang recalled. “Our church is gone. I was dev-astated because that’s all I knew.”
Vogelsang was baptized and married at the church. She also watched the majority of her children exchange wed-ding vows at the church as well.
Discussion followed about remaining on Ninth Street, near the Freshman Suc-cess Academy.
“It was a good place to be because we were in the center of town,” Vogelsang said.
With the new location, they struggled and questioned if it would be more dif-ficult to help people in need.
“When that church went, we were devastated,” Vogelsang said. “There was a fraction of people who wanted to remain in the location, but there were others who said there’s not a lot of room ...”
Finally the majority of people agreed to move because of space.
“A lot of my history went with the fire, but this is wonderful and a good location,” Vogelsang said.
Like Vogelsang, Woolsey is looking forward to the celebration.
“I think it’s pretty exciting,” Woolsey said. “The community is welcome to come and it’s an open event.”
concept of stepping behind the pulpit and leading a congregation.
Some scriptures in the Bible say Woolsey should not be there. But Woolsey said it was written in a different time period.
“If you interpret them literally, it does say women should not have leadership roles in the church,” Woolsey said.
She said the challenge with that interpretation is taking every word in the Bible literally as well.
“There’s some pretty scary stuff buried in the Old Testament,” Woolsey said. “You have the sacri-ficing of the animals and all that kind of stuff.”
But Woolsey is leaving all doubts behind and is ready to lead the church into the future. One of her goals is to expand outreach and make Zion have more of an impact in the community through focus groups and strategic planning.
While discussing her new role Wednesday morn-ing, Woolsey talked about a Jesus action figure sit-ting on the shelf of her office, a gift she received after leaving the seminary.
“Church is supposed to be fun,” she said. “It’s not a guilt trip, it’s not about shame, it’s about enjoying who we are as God’s people.”

The Flint Hills Regional Council will be able to fund itself in 2014.
In that year, the FHRC has a budget of about $820,000 and revenue of $840,000.
However, future budget figures provided by executive director William Clark show a budget shortfall of
about $200,000.Clark and FHRC staff are working to find other revenue
sources that would erase the deficit.“I think we’re OK for 2014. I personally, as your director, have no concerns at this time.”

Rivera may make 1st outfield appearance
in HoustonMariano Rivera may make a
debut on his final weekend before retirement: as a center-fielder.
The 43-year-old closer, in his 19th and final big league sea-son, has said he’d like to play the outfield.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi says he’s thinking about allow-ing Rivera to do it this weekend, when the Yankees finish their season with a three-game series at the Houston Astros.
Says Girardi: “In my mind, thinking that he’s going to want to pitch, it would be a situation that I might bring him in (in) the eighth to play the outfield and close him out in the ninth if we have that opportunity.”
Rivera missed most of the 2012 season after hurting his knee while shagging fly balls during pregame practice at Kansas City.
NFL
Cassel to start at QB against Steelers at
WembleyMatt Cassel will start at quar-
terback for the Minnesota Vikings in place of injured Chris-tian Ponder against the Pitts-burgh Steelers at Wembley Sta-dium on Sunday.
The Vikings said Friday that Cassel will replace Ponder, who sustained a fractured rib in last weekend’s 31-27 loss to the Cleveland Browns.
“We just felt like it was, from a medical standpoint, too risky to put him out there to take a hit,” coach Leslie Frazier said Friday at the team’s practice facility. “He’s a tough guy but it probably wouldn’t be wise to put him out in that situation.”
Cassel hasn’t played a down since last season at Kansas City, where he threw for six touch-downs and 12 interceptions in nine games for the 2-14 Chiefs.
“I’ve been preparing for this and I feel like I’m ready to go,” Cassel said Friday. “I feel com-fortable with this offense. I’m excited about it. That’s what you prepare for as a backup.”
Frazier said the Vikings made the decision with a bye week coming up to give Ponder more time to recuperate. He didn’t foresee any quarterback con-troversy.

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

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

Winning tough
Junction City defeats Hayden on the road 28-21
Daily Union Staff
TOPEKA — It all depended on the push.
If the Junction City football team’s offensive line could muscle its counterparts from Hayden just a half-yard for-ward, it would give senior Jerma’l Campbell enough room to pick up the first down.
However, if the Hayden defense could penetrate into the Blue Jays’ backfield and prevent a gain, it would give its offense one last shot to tie the game.
The Wildcats loaded up the box, bringing 10 players within a yard of the line of scrim-
mage, which sat around mid-field with a little more than a minute left in the game.
Campbell took the handoff and ran left into his offensive line, churning his legs desper-ately trying to gain any last inch.
When the officials brought out the chains and finally stretched them as far as they’d go, the football sat out front. Campbell had picked up just enough for the first and with Hayden out of time outs, Junc-tion City quarterback Tanner Lueker only needed to take a knee to run out the clock and give Junction City a 28-21 vic-tory at Hayden Friday night.

McGrath helping Chiefs survive banged-up TEsBy DaVE SkrEtta
Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — He’s not a member of ZZ Top. Nor is he a reincarnated Karl Marx.
Sean McGrath could probably play Santa Claus, though, provided he took a few minutes to bleach his brown facial hair stark white. Then again, perhaps the result would be more along the lines of a young Charles Darwin than the jolly fat man wearing red.
The fellows from “Duck Dynasty” have a rival in the facial hair department from the Kansas City Chiefs’ backup tight end, who is becoming known for his gnarly whiskers and a hero to fans for the way he’s filled in for banged-up starters Anthony Fasano and Travis Kelce.
“I mean, girls that wear short-shorts want to flaunt their legs, right?” McGrath told The Asso-ciated Press. “I have this beautiful beard here. Why not grow it out.”
Indeed, why keep such splendor hidden? After all, this is no five
o’clock shadow sticking out of his chinstrap. This is a 10 o’clock toupee glued to his face. The hair along the upper lip is long enough that it’s starting to turn up at the cor-ners, a la longtime big league pitcher Rollie Fingers. The mass of bristles hanging off his jaw seem dense enough that a sparrow could flutter out of there at any moment.
“It’s like a pillow on my chin. I groom it. I shampoo, conditioner. I take care of it. I mean, I can’t grow it on my head,” McGrath said, run-ning his big right hand over the closely mown dome, “so I might as well grow it on my face.”
McGrath started to grow the beard around St. Patrick’s Day — incidentally, the patron saint of Ireland is often depicted with a bushy beard of his own. At the time, McGrath was still a member of the Seahawks, and was coming off a rookie season in which he saw action in just two games.
He remained with them throughout the sum-mer but was cut this fall, shortly before the start of the season. The Chiefs snatched him up to provide some depth when Tony Moeaki went down with a fractured shoulder, and he’s only proven to be more invaluable as Fasano tries to return from ankle and knee injuries and Kelce deals with a micro fracture in his knee.

With the 49ers, Falcons, Sea-hawks, Packers, resurgent Saints and promising Redskins, the NFC looked to have it all over the AFC.
Three weeks into the season, it’s the AFC that has been domi-nant.
AFC clubs have won 11 of 14 meetings with the NFC. Most con-
founding have been the early flops by five of the six NFC playoff teams from 2012; only Seattle has a winning record.
Meanwhile, all six AFC playoff qualifiers from last year are win-ners, while the Dolphins and Chiefs have been revelations. The Colts seem even stronger than they were in their turnaround 2012 season, and even the Jets and Titans look good.
Sure, it’s early — and the Saints and Bears certainly look promis-ing — but there’s no question the NFC is struggling with abysmal 0-3 starts by the Redskins, Vikings and Giants and disappointing showings by the Packers and Fal-cons, both 1-2.
“I think a lot of it is personnel,” says 2002 league MVP Rich Gan-non, now an analyst for CBS Sports and SiriusXM. “Indianap-olis went out and got new starters on defense after they got bullied in the running game last year, and added an intimidator at safe-ty in LaRon Landry. So much of the talk is about Andrew Luck and getting Trent Richardson, but take a look at what they did to the 49ers in San Francisco. They are getting better.”
“Look at Miami, and I think it goes back to last year. Joe Philbin has done an outstanding job with that program. The defense has gotten better on the back end. The quarterback (Ryan Tannehill) has really benefited from the coach-ing and matured.”
Of the 14 interconference meet-ings, two NFC victories were by the unbeaten Bears, 24-21 over Cincinnati, 40-23 over reeling Pittsburgh. The other was Seat-tle’s 45-17 rout of Jacksonville, the consensus worst team in the league in the AP Pro32 rankings.
Far more impressive: Indy’s 27-7 victory at Candlestick Park; the Bengals’ 34-30 decision against Green Bay; the Dolphins’ beating Atlanta 27-23.
Kansas City, which has inter-conference wins over the Cow-boys and Eagles — huge because Andy Reid returned to win in Philly — might be the biggest surprise. Shouldn’t be, but maybe the Chiefs epitomize what’s going on through three weeks.
The better AFC teams are pro-tecting the ball and getting take-aways. They are rushing the pass-er successfully. And, in many cases — Chiefs over Cowboys, Bears over Bengals, Browns over Vikings — they are outcoaching the opposition.
“I believed that would be a quick fix in Kansas City,” Gannon says. “I did some Chiefs games last year, knew there was talent there. You’re looking at a team that turned it over 37 times last year. But Alex Smith might be the best quarterback at ball security. Look at his won-loss percentage recently. You can label him any way you want. He’s a good leader, makes great decisions and takes care of the football.
“Combine that with a defense that can harass the quarterback and they now have some stability where they had not had it, at the two crucial positions of head coach and quarterback, that has made a world of difference.”
Everything could change in the AFC-NFC series as early as, well, this week. There are seven inter-conference matchups and NFC teams are favored in four of them.
Then again, the Giants can’t protect Eli Manning or run the ball, and the Chiefs’ defense leads the league in sacks — and physi-cality. New England should never be counted out against anyone,
and is 13-2 in its past 15 road games against the NFC.
Other than the Saints, not one of the NFC teams playing this week is close to peak efficiency. The Giants, Vikings and Redskins are a combined 0-9, the Eagles can’t stop anybody on defense, and the Cowboys are inconsis-tent.
“Sometimes you fall into the trap as players and coaches, thinking, ‘We are better than this, we will get this thing turned around,’ ‘’ Gannon said. “Maybe you are not all that talented. Those teams all have major con-cerns and issues.”

for him. Afterwards I would ask my dad how much longer I had until I could wres-tle.”
Finally the day came when Simpson took part in his first competition.
“I was in the sixth grade when I had my first match,” he said. “I went into the match more experienced and so I had much success. The thrill, excitement and full body exhaustion from my first match set the stage for me, from that point on, I knew I wanted to do this as long as I could.”
Simpson continued to wrestle through junior high and high school with the goal of one day becoming an elite freestyle wrestler, but he had an even bigger dream in mind, becoming a soldier.
“When my big brother said he was join-ing the military, I was excited,” he said. “On top of that, he received a wrestling scholarship from West Point. After wit-nessing this, I knew what my plans were going to be.”
Simpson was accepted into the United States Military Academy Preparatory School at West Point in 2004 on a wrestling scholarship. After finishing West Point Prep in 2005 he went on to graduate from West Point in 2009.
Simpson competed in more than 80 matches during his time at the military academy, but one match sticks out to him.
“My most unforgettable fight was during my sophomore year at West Point, he said.
“I entered into the New York State Tourna-ment as an unranked competitor but I made it to the finals where I was to wrestle the No. 10 ranked wrestler in the coun-try.”
Simpson described the final minutes of the match, in which he was considered a major underdog.
“I knew I was going to have to give it my all, plus more, to beat this guy,” he said. “At about 30 seconds left in the match, I realized we were tied but I was on top of him. I decided to risk the competition by letting him up in the hopes of bringing him back down before the clock ran out.”
The match went down to the wire.“We were going back and forth until we
went out of bounds with eight seconds left on the clock,” Simpson said. “When we came back in the circle, I took him down at the last second and won the match.”
Simpson was named the outstanding wrestler of that tournament, but the wider world awaited.
Upon graduating from West Point as a field artillery officer in 2009, Simpson received orders for the 1st Bn., 7th F.A. Regt., 2nd ABCT, 1st Inf. Div. He deployed November 2010 for a year long mission to Baghdad, Iraq in support of Operation New Dawn.
A year after returning from deployment, Simpson decided he was ready to start wrestling again.
“I was a little bit hesitant at first but I spoke with my battery commander in Octo-ber 2012 about competing again,” Simpson said. “I expressed to him how I have been dreaming for an opportunity like this. Before I could blink he turned to me and asked me if I felt I had a chance at winning
it and I quickly replied, ‘Yes, I do.’”With the support of his battery com-
mander, Capt. Ritchie Rhodes Jr., and his battalion commander, Lt. Col. John Mount-ford, Simpson applied and was accepted to the 2013 All Army Freestyle Wrestling Team. He eventually walked away as the 2013 All Army Freestyle Wrestling Cham-pion.
After competing and winning the All Army title, Simpson went back to his chain of command with one last request.
“Capt. Simpson came to me and men-tioned that he wanted to take his wrestling career to the next level,” Rhodes said. “He told me he wanted to pursue the WCAP program and so we filled out a list of pros and cons to fully evaluate the opportuni-ty.”
The solution did not immediately pres-ent itself.
“When we compiled the list and it came out 50/50 split, the only two questions I had left for Simpson to answer were quite sim-ple: ‘Would you regret passing on this opportunity when you get older’ and ‘would you tell your grandkids?’”
The answer to both? Yes. Immediately after receiving notification
of his acceptance into the program, Simp-son received permanent orders to the WCAP unit at Fort Carson, Colo., until 2016. Through Army funding, he will receive the best possible coaching, access to training venues, and state-of-the-art sports medicine. He will also participate in top national and international competi-tions including the Olympic Games and national governing body amateur champi-onships.
Simpson said the opportunity would not have been possible without the support of his chain of command. For their support, he will continue to represent “First Light-ning” by wearing the battalion T-shirts as much as he can.
“There is no greater opportunity than to be able to do what I love,” Simpson said. “The Army has given me the opportunity to remain a soldier all while training to be a professional wrestler and hopefully rep-resent them in the Olympics.”

Contributed PhotoCapt. William Simpson, a field artillery officer with 1st Bn., 7th F.A. Regt., 2nd ABCT, 1st Inf. Div., competed in his first Armed Forces Free-style Wrestling Tournament, March 16-17, at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J..
State, had the first two catches of his NFL career two weeks ago against Dallas. He had four catch-es for 31 yards last week in Phila-delphia.
Along with Kevin Brock, he’s keeping the tight ends relevant in the Chiefs’ offense.
“It’s the next guy — the next-guy-steps-up mentality,” offensive coordinator Doug Pederson said. “McGrath coming in and doing what he’s done my hat’s off to him.”
The Chiefs planned to use their tight ends extensively this season, a big reason why they gave Fasa-no a four-year, $16 million deal and drafted Kelce in the third round. But neither of them was practicing this week because of their injuries, which means the Chiefs head into Sunday’s game with the New York Giants hoping their bearded wonder can have another big afternoon.
“I mean, I’m going to tell you all like I tell everyone, I’m going to prepare the same every single week, whether I’m going to be out there a lot or I’m not,” McGrath said. “I’m going to be out there getting ready for the game on Sunday.”
With that, McGrath twirls a couple strands of his moustache between his fingers.
There have been some good beards in recent sports history. The lumberjack look of the Steel-ers’ Brett Keisel stands out, as does the Rockets’ James Harden. The mass of ink-blank hair Dodg-ers reliever Brian Wilson sports has been impressing baseball afi-cionados for years.
“You won’t see me growing any-thing out like that any time soon,” said Kelce, who has some scruff of his own. “There’s not going to be any competition with me.”
McGrath and his ilk seem to be onto something, though.
Researchers in Australia pub-lished a study in the journal “Evo-lution & Human Behavior” earlier this year that found that women prefer men with heavy stubble over clean-shaven guys. Further-more, it found that full beards are more popular than the clean-shaven look among straight guys.
Then there’s the success of shows such as “Duck Dynasty” on A&E, with a cast that has some epic frontal locks, and “Whisker Wars” on IFC, which delves into the world of competitive beard-ing.
“It’s definitely trending right now,” McGrath said with a good-natured laugh, rows of white teeth peeking out from his brown-ish bush. “I might be on the roll-er-coaster, but as long as it is on the way up. When it starts coming back down, I might have to jump off.”

Best friends become foes as Dolphins meet Saints
By BRETT MARTEL
Associated Press
METAIRIE, La. — Just across the Mississippi River from the world-famous French Quarter is neighborhood called Algiers, where Dolphins receiver Mike Wallace and Saints cornerback Keenan Lewis became playmates around age 5.
Their friendship went beyond sports. Wallace didn’t even play football until Lewis persuaded him to go out for their high school team at O. Perry Walker. A decade later, they’ll go head-to-head for the first time in the most fitting place of all — the Superdome — this Monday night.
It has been a strange week of unfamiliar tension between the longtime friends, who’ve long known each other as teammates, but never opponents.
“That’s my brother. That’s someone I’ve been knowing since the age of 5, so we did everything together,” Lewis said. “It’s feel-ing kind of weird having to go up against him.”
They never played against each other in college. Wallace was at Mississippi and Lewis at Oregon State. When they turned pro, both wound up on the same NFL team — the Pittsburgh Steelers — growing even closer as young adults. They were house mates and usually sat next to each other on the team plane to road games. They still talk by phone nearly every day.
Last weekend, Wallace delight-ed in Lewis’ first interception with New Orleans, but couldn’t stop himself from delivering a little ribbing when they next spoke.
“As soon as he called me after the game, he said he caught an interception,” Wallace recalled. “I told him that he dropped two.”
Lewis expected nothing less.“You know you’re always hard
on each other because we want each other to be the best,” Lewis said. “I knew he was going to have a comeback, but I watched film on him this week, so I tell him he missed some of those balls last week as well.”
Lewis said the trash-talking would continue in the Super-dome, where the two players could be matched up one-on-one on numerous plays. Lewis gener-ally plays on the same side of the field where Wallace lines up.
“We’ve been looking forward to this,” Lewis said. “This is a guy who talked the whole sum-mer, trash-talking how he was going to do this and how he was going to do that. So I’m pretty sure he’s heated up right now — and I’m heated up.”
The story line only gets richer when considering that both teams are 3-0 and the game is on national television.
Whether Wallace wins out or not, he’ll always be grateful that Lewis encouraged him to come
out for football in the first place.“Ever since we were younger
we always knew I could play,” Wallace said. “I just never want-ed to play.”
Added Lewis: “I basically forced him to come out there. I saw the talent that he had and we needed it, so he joined us and he’s been successful ever since.”
Lewis might want to consider a career in scouting when he’s done playing.
As a high school senior, Wal-lace had 60 catches for 1,039 yards and 19 touchdowns, according to Louisiana high school football analyst and historian Ken Trah-an, who also hosts a high school football radio show on fall Friday nights. Wallace also returned four punts and four kickoffs for touchdowns.
Lewis said that he and Wallace, both being free agents last offsea-son, had offers from some of the same teams, but understood they had to take the offers that suited them most as individual profes-sionals.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Craig Colquitt, who won two Super Bowls with the Pitts-burgh Steelers in the 1970s, feels like he handed down a family business to his sons Dustin and Britton.
The brothers each signed offseason deals with the Chiefs and Broncos, respectively, that made them the highest-paid punters in the NFL at nearly $4 million a year — about 45 times as much as their father ever earned in the pros.
The Colquitts are to punting what the Mannings are to passing, and this first family of punters had an inauspicious start — a safety on the patriarch’s very
first punt at the University of Tennessee in 1975.
Craig was 21, having worked at a depart-ment store for two years after high school, and the Volunteers were playing Mary-land.
Punting from his end zone, “I was so nervous, the ball hit my hands, hit my face-mask and went straight up,” Craig recount-ed. “And just as I grabbed it I could see this guy coming off my right side. So, I fell down and he fell on top of me.”
Time to go back to stocking shelves, he thought.
“I really wanted to run out the back of the stadium because I fig-ured this is the end for me,” Craig said.
George Cafego, Tennessee’s renowned kicking coach, instead greeted him with a hearty, “Great job!”
Those two words would be repeated many times over the next three seasons as Craig, driven by Cafego’s vote of confidence, rewrote the school record book, averaging 42.5 yards per punt — a mark that would be bested by three more Colquitts.
His nephew, Jimmy, averaged 43.9 yards from 1981-84. Dustin averaged 42.567 from 2001-04 and Britton, 42.569 from 2005-08.
After Craig’s senior year in 1977, Chuck Noll personally worked him out before drafting him in the third round.
By 1979, he had two Super Bowl rings.He averaged 41.3 yards in six seasons in
the pros, earning $85,000 in his final year in 1984, before settling down with his wife, Anne, to raise a family in Tennessee.
He made a brief return to the NFL in 1987 when the players went on strike. He was in financial straits at the time and the chance to get back into the game — and more importantly, to earn an $8,000 weekly paycheck — spurred him to cross the pick-et line.
In his one game with the Indianapolis Colts, he had the only blocked punt of his pro career.
That was the low point of an otherwise joyful journey across America’s football fields.
Looking back, Craig, who’s now a sales rep for a janitorial company in Nashville, said that safety he took as a sophomore in college was the turning point in his life.
“This was my opportunity to get a schol-arship and take the financial burden off my parents,” he said. “So, I really saw a lot of things go through my head that were all negative. It could have been a calamity and
it wasn’t. It was a great experi-ence.”
Had he been benched, he doubts he would have passed punting onto his sons.
He didn’t push them, though.After his playing career, Craig
ran a punting and kicking camp and Britton helped him out but Dustin didn’t.
“I was swimming in the pool when they were punting,” Dustin said. “He wanted us to be two things, holy
and happy, and that was good enough for him.”
Two weeks before Dustin’s senior year in high school, the football coach told him his kicker had gotten hurt and he also needed a punter.
“And he knew nothing about punting,” Craig said.
So, Dad and baby brother gave him a crash course, and Dustin, who’s left-footed and right-handed, which complicated mat-ters, quickly caught on.
Craig was always a mixture of Coach and Dad to his boys.
“When the kid’s trying to get up the steps, you’ve got to push them a little bit. Yeah, there was a little bit of that, a little parenting, but nothing like if you don’t do this, you’re not eating today,” Craig said. “We did not live through our children. We lived with our children.”
Britton said his father never pressured them to follow in his footsteps.
“It was the opposite. He didn’t let us play football until high school. That was the
rule. He taught us before that, and so it might look like it but I think he was just preparing us,” Britton said, “and I think he knew that soccer was going to train us up, too.”
Britton, who always wanted to play foot-ball, said Dustin’s real reason for shunning the sport was “he didn’t like tight pants. And then at his very first game, some girl whistled at him and said, ‘Nice butt.’ And after the game, he told my dad, ‘OK, I think I can do this.”’
Good thing, because Dad was surrepti-tiously preparing him all along.
“The way we grew up he was always put-ting us in crazy situations where we had to kick a ball over a tree, so we’d already been in those situations,” Dustin said.
It paid off this year when Dustin signed an $18.75 million deal and Britton got an $11.7 million extension.
“People tell me you must be proud,” Craig said. “I’m glad they have jobs. They just happen to have exceptional jobs.”
Colquitts are NFL’s first family of punting

on rookie offensive tackles this season.He abused No. 2 overall pick Luke Joeckel in
the season opener at Jacksonville, piling up his first three sacks. In Philadelphia, it was No. 4 pick Lane Johnson who was doing his best bull-fighter imitation as Houston breezed by on the outside.
Houston could get another rookie tackle Sun-day, too. Justin Pugh, the 19th overall pick, will start on the right side for the Giants if David Diehl still isn’t back from thumb surgery.
Pugh was part of a group that allowed Eli Manning to get sacked seven times last Sunday.
“He’s got a good motor, so it’s a good challenge for me,” Pugh said of Houston.
It’s hard to mimic what Houston can do, though, because there are very few players like him.
He stands an imposing 6-foot-3, 258 pounds yet has speed that could rival many running backs in the NFL. His upper body strength allows him to shed would-be blockers like he’s shrugging off a sack of potatoes, while his tree trunk legs pro-vide him leverage on bull rushes.
Then there are his hands, which stood out to
Richt most of all.“He had hands about that big,” Richt said,
holding up his own and outlining a much bigger hand around it. “For whatever reason, they mea-sure the hand size. They probably went crazy when they measured his hands: ‘Draft that guy. He’s got big hands.”’
All the better to wrestle down opposing quar-terbacks.
Houston was considered a first-round talent coming out of Georgia, but he slid to the third round when questions arose about his maturity. Houston reportedly tested positive for marijua-na at the NFL’s scouting combine, and that gave plenty of teams across the league pause.
Former Chiefs GM Scott Pioli took the risk on Houston, gambling that he would quickly grow up, and so far it’s paid off. Houston has been a model teammate since he arrived.
“He gets on the field and gets mad and makes plays,” Hali said. “He wants to be recognized as one of the top rushers to ever play here, or play in the league.”
He’s certainly off to quite the start.“He’s got to continue to work,” coach Andy
Reid said. “We’re early in the season here, and the better you do, the better teams know who you are. So you’re going to get everybody’s ‘A’ game when they play against you. You have to prepare that way, take care of your business and continue to get better.”

MANHATTAN — An earlier start to practice sounded just fine to Kan-sas State coach Bruce Weber.
The Wildcats, who won a share of the Big 12 title last sea-son, have to replace their top two scorers in graduated senior Rodney McGruder and point guard Angel Rodriguez, who transferred to Miami. So it’s safe to say that Weber will take every minute he can get.
“I don’t think there could be for us a better timing of it with the early practices” he said Thursday, on the eve of practices starting. “I looked at it and I figured out we have seven extra days of practice than we did a year ago. With half your team being new people, we can use all the days we can get.”
In the past, practice began rough-ly four weeks before the season. Now, men’s basketball teams get to conduct 30 days of practice in the six weeks prior to their first regu-lar-season game.
Weber hopes he’s able to ease the duration of the practice schedule prior to the season in order to keep his players fresh.
“My goal is to go a couple days then a day off, three days and then a day off,” Weber said. “You’ve got to give them 12 days off before the start of the season. If we have a stretch where we get some injuries or something, I’ll give them two days off.”
The Wildcats play their first exhi-bition game Nov. 1 against Pitts-burg State. They begin the regular season the following week against Northern Colorado.
Extra weight will fall on the shoulders of Thomas Gipson, Will Spradling and Shane Southwell as the top three returning scorers this season.
It’s a message that Weber and staff have communicated thorough-ly.
“Since last spring, that’s all we’ve talked to them about,” Weber said. “Their experience is going to be so valuable.”
Durability and conditioning has been a long-standing question for Gipson. Now looking at a signifi-
cant role on the younger squad, the junior big man lost 35 pounds over the offseason.
“I’m lighter on my feet,” Gipson said. “I jump quicker, I’m jumping higher and I’m not as winded as I used to be running up and down the court. I just feel lighter and a lot better about myself. It’s just boost-ing my confidence.”
As practice begins, being able to put together a rotation in the front-court will be a priority for Weber and his staff. Gipson and 6-foot-9 forward D.J. Johnson played most of the minutes in the paint last sea-son, but 6-5 junior Nino Williams will also have to help out.
Kansas State would love to have the services of 6-foot-11 Brandon Bolden, a transfer from George-town. But he’ll sit alongside Maine transfer Justin Edwards, last year’s leading scorer in the America East, as they fulfill their NCAA transfer requirements.
In the backcourt, the Wildcats will rely heavily upon Spradling, but they welcome a pair of fresh-men in Nigel Johnson and Marcus Foster. Jevon Thomas will factor into the mix, but he’s not eligible to hit the court until the end of the first semester.
“Marcus Foster is good,” Weber said. “He’s strong, he’s solid and he works very hard — very consistent. We were very fortunate to get him.
Weber said a newfound sense of athleticism is credit to his freshman class. Height will be the downside since most of those players work on
the perimeter.“We’re way more
athletic and those guys are athletic,” Weber said. “We’re a lot quicker than we were last year. We definitely replaced that. We didn’t replace JO’s (Jordan Henriquez) height and length and that’s
one that we’re a little bit leery about. There’s no doubt.”
With a new year comes a new identity, and Southwell believes the Wildcats will be ready.
“It’s a new year and I don’t know who wouldn’t be excited,” South-well said. “Hopefully, we can get another banner because we’ve got a big chance to prove ourselves. A lot of people are kind of doubting us, so it’s another big year for us.”

Howard healthy, talking titles in Houston
By KRISTIE RIEKEN
Associated Press
HOUSTON — New Rocket Dwight Howard is healthy and talking about bringing a champion-ship to Houston.
“We have an opportunity to do something spe-cial if we stay together and stay focused,” How-ard said Friday on the eve of Houston’s training camp.
He was slowed last year after offseason back surgery, which played a part in a disappointing and difficult season with the Lakers. The cen-ter’s signing propelled the James Harden-led Rockets from a young and talented group to immediate contenders.
“For me, being healthy, I think it’s going to bring back a lot of the things that I’ve done in the past,” Howard said. “I’m very excited about it.”
The Rockets gave him a four-year deal worth about $88 million, a year less and far below the $118 million the Lakers could have offered. But Howard was ready for a fresh start after a tumul-tuous time in Los Angeles, which included an admission that there were times that he wasn’t having fun and what many believed to be a strained relationship with Kobe Bryant.
He wasn’t interested in talking too much about last season, but acknowledged the difficulties of the year.
“It happened,” he said. “It’s over with. It didn’t work out on both sides, so we have to move on.”
Then he raved about the relationships he’s already built with his new teammates and his excitement about playing on such a young, ener-getic team.
“I’m in a better place mentally, spiritually and physically,” Howard said.
Howard, point guard Jeremy Lin and Harden were among several players who spent time in Aspen, Colo. in the offseason working with Hous-
ton great Hakeem Olajuwon. Howard and Lin separately relayed a story about a time during the workouts where Lin lobbed a bad and high pass intended for Howard.
Lin immediately began to apologize for the errant throw, but there was no need. Howard jumped up to grab it and dunked it with ease.
“I was like: ‘Oh, wow. OK, that’s good for me,”’ Lin said of that moment. “He makes my job easi-er.”
Howard chuckled as he recalled the play.“He was in shock that I actually caught it
because he hasn’t seen that and it’s been a while since I was able to do that kind of stuff,” Howard said. “So I think my health is coming back. I’m getting some of the bounce back in my legs. It takes a while to recover from back surgery.”
The Rockets reached the playoffs for the first time since 2009 last season and battled back from a 3-0 deficit before being eliminated by the Okla-homa City Thunder in Game 6.

Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — Seth Curry was walking around the Golden State Warriors practice court during media day festivi-ties Friday when a stranger struck up a conversation.
A few minutes later, the rookie realized he had been mistaken for somebody else — older brother Stephen Curry. He quickly corrected their mistake.
“Sometimes I let them keep going,” he joked.
Seth has spent most of his life being compared to Ste-
phen. He wouldn’t mind look-ing like his brother on the court starting Saturday, when the Warriors open training camp with both on the roster.
The sons of former NBA player Dell Curry competed at everything from basketball to video games growing up. Born two years apart, their careers are far removed from each other now.
Stephen, 25, elevated his game to star status by leading the Warriors to the second round of the playoffs last sea-son. Seth, 23, went undrafted out of Duke after undergoing surgery on his right knee/shin and is competing for a spot
backing up his brother at point guard, which might be the most intriguing competition in camp if he can be anywhere near the level he played at in college.
Even if it’s for only a few weeks, playing on the same NBA team is a unique opportu-nity for both. They haven’t played together since Seth’s sophomore year at Charlotte Christian School.
Stephen moved on to David-son the following year and turned heads in the NCAA tournament. Seth played one season at Liberty before trans-ferring to Duke, where he daz-zled for two years and disap-peared at times during his senior season because of inju-ries, which sidelined him for predraft workouts.
While it might seem like a long shot, both believe Seth has a great chance to make the roster.
“I don’t think the Warriors would sign him if they didn’t think so either,” Stephen said. “Maybe they paid more atten-tion to him because he’s my brother, but nobody’s going to throw money and an opportu-nity at somebody if they don’t think he’s got an opportunity to make the team out of camp and help the team down the road.”
Curry brothers carry rivalry into Warriors camp
Marcio Jose Sanchez • The Associated PressGolden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry (right) jokes with teammate Kent Bazemore during media day on Friday in Oakland, Calif.
“It’s a really big win because this team is really good,” Junction City coach Randall Zimmerman said on the postgame radio show. “This is a good, physical, strong team that plays very hard and it’s a big win for us. And the way we won, there was noth-ing pretty about it.”
Junction City fell into an early 13-0 deficit before finally finding its rhythm on both sides of the ball.
Lueker had a first quarter scram-ble of 19 yards to put the Jays in the redzone before Campbell finished the drive with a 3-yard touchdown plunge.
Then, the defense solidified itself and promptly fended off Hayden, giv-ing the ball back to the offense.
“Micah is really playing hard (on the defensive line) and he’s just doing a great job there,” Zimmerman said. “And then Trevor Dailey, when you watch (him) he’s kind of an under-sized, not strength kid, but he’s undersized and knows every spot up front. Tonight he had to go out and play our quick because of a situation where our starter wasn’t able to start and he played it really well.”
Lueker led a two minute drive before capping it off with a 20-yard touchdown pass to senior Semaj Johnson.
Campbell didn’t let the delay slow him down, busting off a 49-yard touchdown run at the outset of the second half as the Jays’ scored 21 unanswered points.
He finished the game with 13 rush-es for 87 yards and two touchdowns.
Lueker ended the day completing seven of 12 passing attempts for 95 yards, a touchdown and an intercep-tion.
But Hayden wouldn’t go quietly into the night.
The Wildcats responded with a touchdown of their own and con-verted the 2-point try to level the score at 21-21.
Meanwhile, Junction City senior running back Dequan Davis strug-gled to get himself going on offense for much of the night.
But with the score tied in the fourth, he dropped back to field a punt after the defense came through with a big stop with three minutes left.
He fielded the punt on a bounce and took off, following his blocks and weaving in and out of defenders before breaking free and outrunning every Hayden player for an 83-yard return for a touchdown.
“We thought it was there all night,” Zimmerman said. “We thought we could block a few of them and we forced them to pull it down a couple of times and couldn’t make the tackle and we had a couple of guys who did their own thing. But on that last one he punted it to the wide side of the field where we had our return set so that helped. Kids made good blocks and Dequan (Davis) stayed on his feet and got into the endzone.”
The win lifts the Blue Jays record to 2-2 on the season.
Junction City returns home next week for its homecoming game against Highland Park.
Zimmerman said his team needs to learn from its first four games.
“We’ve been about as poor as you can be in certain situations and some of that was tonight and then we can be very good,” Zimmerman said. “If we can go be all-in for the team, be very unselfish and not make excuses, roll our sleeves up every day and go to work and pre-pare the best we can prepare, then there can be some special things for this group.”

Long before social reforms and govern-ment programs such
as welfare there were people that needed assistance.
Some of the people who might need this assistance would be the elderly, widows, orphans, and the mentally insane. Individual counties often shouldered the respon-sibility of these individuals.
An individual in need of help often went to their church first. If the church could not provide enough assistance then the person could ask for help from the Overseer of the Poor. This was an elected position that worked within a budget to help with basic needs. They might provide food, fuel, clothing, or medical assis-tance. This was short term assistance.
A longer form of assis-tance was that the care of the pauper would be auctioned off. It seems strange but the pauper was sold to the lowest bidder (that person agreed to provide room and board for the lowest price) for a specif-ic period of time. That per-son received a payment every month to provide food, cloth-ing, housing, and health care for the pauper.
In addition to a monthly payment they also received the pauper’s labor for free. The welfare of the pauper depended entirely upon the kindness of the bidder. There were few options for justice for the pauper if they were mistreated. A third option for the county was to estab-lish a house for the poor. These went by many differ-ent names depending on what part of the country you were in.
In New England you might hear them referred at as “almshouses”, in Maryland they are called “county homes” in Indiana they are called “county asylums”. Throughout the Midwest they are often referred to as
“poor farms” or “county farms.”
These were popular options for counties because it was believed to be the most efficient and cost effective way to house the needy.
An article from the Union newspaper, April 23, 1870, reports that the Davis Coun-ty is accepting proposals for suitable land on which to build a poor farm. On Dec. 10, 1870 the Union reported that “Work is being prosecut-ed vigorously on the county poor house building. It is located about two and a half west of town and is being built by Payn Bros.” Building was going well and when fin-ished would be two stories. At the time of the article there were “two rooms in the
cellar are already sufficient-ly comfortable for loafers. The commissioners are look-ing about for some light as to the management of the farm, for if there should be any paupers on hand in the spring, they propose to make them serviceable.”
Early newspaper accounts show that there was an urgent need for this facility. Some of the earliest reports show 10 paupers living at the poor farm. If there was room the county would also house paupers from other counties. Reports show a family sent here from Douglas County. Davis County housed them until there was room for them in Douglas County and in the meantime Douglas County paid for their keep. It
is interesting to note that every effort was made to “find a situation” for able-bodied workers so that they could learn skills to better themselves.
Also, funds were made available for clothing and books for children at the poor farm so that they could attend school. The majority of the paupers in Davis County were elderly, infirmed, or orphans. The poor farm was an active farm run by a superintendent. In 1874 there are numerous articles about the 21,000 trees planted at the poor farm.
A large number of them are fruit trees with many popular and maples planted for protection. The farm har-vested the fruit and produced
jams and preserves for the winter. At that time the farm was producing peaches, apples, apricots, plums, pears, nectarines, and cher-ries. In 1876 a report shows that the farm had expanded to include grapes, blackber-ries, and strawberries. They were also farming wheat, rye, corn, and potatoes. The farm was producing enough bread stuffs, meat, and milk to feed the residents of the house.
In 1878 the Union newspa-per reports that the cost to the county to fund the poor farm was; $622.05 in 1872, $676.28 in 1873, $906.30 in 1874, $1097.50 in 1875, $931.60 in 1876 and $1178.60 in 1877. Major Wilson received $3.15 per week for each resident in
addition five cents a day for clothing. It was predicted by the newspaper that “the farm will be self-sustaining in the course of a few years.”
Union newspaper reports describe the poor farm in glowing detail as a comfort-able and homey place. It is a place to look forward to living in if one’s fortunes ever disappear. Next week we will continue with the poor farm as the Junction City Tribune breaks a scan-dalous story of abuse and corruption at the county poor farm.

Last year the National Retail Federation estimated that
Americans would shell out around $8 billion on Halloween-related pur-chases, with the average consumer spending about $80.
I guess the days of home-made ghosts hanging from trees, and dummies made with old jeans and flannel shirts stuffed with old newspaper and grass, have given way to electronic ani-mations that will screech and scream as the unsus-pecting visitors steps with-
in a few feet of its sensors.Although I seriously have
never been a huge fan of Halloween, I did kind of like making costumes when I was younger for myself, and later for my son.
There certainly are many interesting costumes on
department or specialty store shelves, but I really think something gets lost by just buying a cheap costume. With thrift store finds (or even a quick scrounge around in the
back of the closet) there are tons of creative and fun costumes that one can come up with, and the best part is that it’s a whole lot more fun to make one than to just buy one.
With just a little over a month — it’s time now to start fishing around for some ideas. Browsing through the McCalls and
Simplicity patterns, a trip to the DAV thrift store on South Washington St., and of course a few hours Pin-trest and other fun Web sites should put me in the mood for Halloween.
Inspiration for this or any project can come from the most unlikely sources.
I recently joined a paint-ers group with some accom-plished regional artists. Intimidated is the word that comes to mind — these ladies are really good, and all of their work is in real-ism. They can take a photo-graph and pretty much
duplicate it with paints.I on the other hand —
give me a canvas, paints, a brush, and plenty of water and let me simply have at it.
I have no clue what a piece will look like until it is done. I thought long and hard about what project I would want to start with at these group meetings and thought that a nice piece taken from a photograph of a recent trip to the Blue Ridge Parkway would be nice.
I thought about it, I planned it, I syked myself
up for the stepping out of my comfort zone and was ready to go — then Skyped with my grandbaby. She asked what I was going to do that day and I told her I was going to paint. Her next words would change my carefully laid out plans. She directed me to paint some-thing for her — a purple painting.
Whether it is beautiful mountains that reach the sky or words from a little one — inspiration is out there — it’s just a matter of putting doubt aside and paint to the canvas.

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

NEW YORK — Amber Tamblyn plays Charlie Harper’s previously unknown daughter, Jenny, on the 11th season of CBS’ “Two and a Half Men,” premiering Thursday night.
Jenny and her father (who was played by Charlie Sheen) have something in common: a love for women. She’s a hard-partying bisexual.
Tamblyn, whose TV credits include the dramas “General Hospital,” “Joan of Arcadia” and “House M.D.,” said she wasn’t sure if she was interested in appearing on “Two and a Half Men.”
She said her agent told her, “Well,
hang on. It’s a genius role. ... She’s very into alcohol and women.”
Tamblyn, who has yet to see an epi-sode of the show, said she’s amazed by its bawdy, sexual humor.
“It is very fun to play,” the 30-year-old actress said of her character. “I am shocked at what they get away with on the show. It’s kind of incredible. Just the jokes and the language and the euphemisms for genitalia. There’s a lot of that happening. I think I had more sex in the first episode than I’ve ever had in the 20 years in my career on any film or television. So it’s pretty awe-some.”
Tamblyn appears on season 11 of CBS’ ‘Two and Half Men
Ron Howard admits he was no racing aficionado when he set out to make the Formula One thriller “Rush,” chronicling the tense 1976 world champion-ship battle between playboy James Hunt and calculat-ing Niki Lauda.
Racing movies don’t have the best track record, after all.
The driving has usually been unrealistic and too many directors cheated on details that insiders found offensive.
“I love sports, too, and I don’t know much about Formula One, but I just kept thinking, ‘If somebody made a baseball movie and if they cut to the center fielder and the center field-er was standing there with a catcher’s glove on, I’d feel disrespected,”’ Howard said in a recent phone interview with The Associated Press. “I didn’t want those kinds of gaffes. When talking to people who really love motorsports, they’d talk about movies that weren’t documentaries and they’d cite mistakes, the kind of mistakes that would really just take them out of the movie.
“While you can never be 1,000 percent authentic, it was important that we get it right.”
Howard was understand-ably nervous when he screened “Rush” for the F1 community, with Lauda himself in the audience, during the German Grand Prix weekend in July.
“It was tense for me, and I think they were gracious but skeptical going into the screening,” Howard said. “When it was over, I think they were surprised at how much care had been given. People who had lived through it were palpably moved.”
Howard’s understating the response he received: Lauda led the room in a standing ovation and the overwhelming reaction so far has been that Howard has made one of the most realistic and true racing movies to date.
“Everybody says that the racing scenes are really incredibly filmed and done. So you have to ask normal people, not us. Normal peo-ple, they really liked the whole thing,” Lauda told AP. “I can only judge the way the public is judging. The public seems to like it, in America, here, every-where.”
Lauda has praised the Peter Morgan script, How-ard’s directing and Daniel Bruhl, who plays Lauda in the film. Although Lauda did not spend many days on set, Howard said the former racer was available in pre-production and gracious with his time. Bruhl had the Austrian on speed dial during filming.
“When something came up with the language or expressions, or a question in sequence like did Niki put his gloves on first or his
helmet on first, Daniel would just take a moment and go over and be on the phone, and I’d know he’d be on the phone with Niki,” Howard recalled.
It’s a complicated story featuring two very different heroes.
Hunt, the hard-partying, womanizing Englishman who succeeds despite him-self, and the cold and social-ly inept Lauda, who has no time or patience for any-thing but winning.
They race during a dan-gerous period in Formula One, when technology rap-idly outpaced safety advancements, and each driver faces it differently.
“The closer you are to death, the more alive you feel,” Hunt says. “The risk of death turns people on.”
Lauda, more sensible and safety conscious, pays the price in a horrific accident that left him badly burned. He resumed their champi-onship fight 42 days after the near-fatal crash.
“Watching you win those races while I was fighting for my life, you were equal-ly responsible for getting me back in the car,” Lauda tells Hunt in the film.
While Chris Hemsworth plays Hunt, who died of a heart attack at 45 in 1993, Lauda believes Bruhl may have had the hardest role in the film because Lauda was able to critique the perfor-mance.
“The most difficult part for him is that I’m alive, I’m in television, everybody knows how I talk,” Lauda said. “So he had a real ter-rible job to do and he did a really good job. Because when I saw him I thought it was me.”
But it was Howard who actually had the toughest job because he was tasked with making a convincing movie about racing that would not be dismissed by the racing community while also appealing to a wide audience.
Why would Howard
even bother? The appeal was Morgan’s
script, which Howard felt offered an original film-making opportunity and a fresh story for audiences.
The story itself, a dynam-ic rivalry with a bit of romance set in the unfet-tered ‘70s, was the sell.
“It had great characters and was set in a period that I do know something about — a period that was unusu-ally chaotic, reckless, and somewhat dangerous and sort of glamorous,” Howard said. “And this sport that I didn’t know much about, but I knew just enough that I knew it was dangerous. I thought it was just very, very cinematic.”
Four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon pri-vately screened the movie for his Hendrick Motor-sports team over the sum-mer as a bonding experi-ence for his crew.
He praised Howard, who Gordon knows personally, for concentrating on the story.
“It’s hard to portray rac-ing on camera,” said Gor-don. “By them building this movie around this great story and these rich charac-ters, I thought was fantas-tic. My favorite thing was that I expected to be a huge James Hunt fan when I left and not really like Lauda. But when I left, I was a huge Niki Lauda fan, and to me, that’s how you’ve got to do a racing movie. It has to be more about the charac-ters than the racing.”
That’s the feedback How-ard was hoping to hear, not just from the racing com-munity, but from an audi-ence that loves rich sto-ries.
“It’s not an American story, it’s not about charac-ters who are household names for us,” he said. “But there is something that is relatable and sur-prising about the story that it entertains and is worth going to the movie theater to see.”

Junction City and Geary County boast a number of organi-
zations that hold distinc-tions as the first or lon-gest running entity of its kind in the state and, in some cases, beyond.
One of these is the Ladies Reading Club which is the oldest Kansas affiliate of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs as well as the holder of the oldest clubhouse west of the Mis-sissippi that is still in oper-ation.
The club also holds the distinction of laying the foundation for public library service in this com-munity.
The Ladies Reading Club grew from an aid society that formed in the latter portion of the 1800’s when a small group of women met to sew, roll bandages, etc. to assist with the crises of their day.
To help pass the time and make their work more enjoyable, one of their cir-cle was often designated to read aloud to the group as they worked.
In addition to providing entertainment, this voice also helped to bring liter-ary offerings to women who otherwise had little access to them.
Opportunities for educa-tion beyond the early grades were few and far between for most people of that era and particularly so for women.
This served as motiva-tion for the aid group to start a formal club in 1875
with the vision of provid-ing its members with access to literature and educational programs. Through it, they explored Shakespeare and classical literature and talked about the issues of the day.
A year later they also launched a small lending library for their members. Stocked with donations, some of which were likely given by friends and family living “back east,” these items were used by the ladies to prepare for their meetings lessons and for their own enjoyment.
By 1891 their collection had grown to almost seven hundred titles so they opted to broaden the ser-vice to include other mem-bers of the community which helped them to ful-fill another part of their mission, to ensure that the entire citizenry could also appreciate learning and culture.
This lending collection and reading room provided the first semblance of library service in Junction City. It also laid the foun-dation for the George Smith Library that followed in 1908 and the current library which opened in 1983.
Providing access to mate-rials was then and contin-
ues to be a major role that libraries play. Leveling the playing field to help ensure that resources of all types are available to people regardless of their income level or geographic loca-tion is a key component of library service. In today’s environment, that also often includes advocating for affordable, high-speed internet service in all areas of the state and country, including those where cows and deer sometimes out-number the people.
The library is also still an education center for lifelong learning, provid-ing classes for all ages.
This includes curricu-lum-based efforts toward early childhood literacy to help prepare preschool children for success in their school careers. This continues well into adult-hood where students pur-sue college degrees from the library carrels through online classes.
It also includes informal classes for all ages that provide the know-how to do almost anything.
The Learning Is for Everyone community edu-cation program provides this in Junction City and the public library offers many classes for it each semester. The library also compiles and produces the LIFE directory that holds all of the class offerings from each of the partici-pating partners.
Borrowing and lending also remain at the heart of library service, though
much has changed since those early days. The ladies of 1891 could likely not have imagined checking out books that they could not see or touch until they landed in an e-reader or some other computer-based device. The e-reading trend has also come to include issues of maga-zines. And, audio books, movies, and music are also regularly downloaded today through a library-sponsored service or sub-scription.
While they may not have envisioned e-books and i-tunes, the women of the Ladies Reading Club did have great foresight in rec-ognizing the need for library service in Junction City and each of us owes them a thank you for their efforts.
The current member-ship continues that sup-port through their patron-age and through the mate-rials they provide for the collection in memory of their members. They are
part of a long and distin-guished tradition that will always include a link to your public library.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
ST. LOUIS — Rumors always swirled around the Ozarks tragedy. Four or five plausible scenarios suggest-ed it was an accident. But at least that many pointed toward more “nefarious” causes, author Daniel Woo-drell says.
“All the rumors were so rampant, you couldn’t even discuss it,” he says about the mysterious explosion that killed 39 people in 1928 at a West Plains dance hall. The cause was never deter-mined.
Not spreading rumors about neighbors has “always been a good rule for living down here: Don’t say any-thing about somebody named ‘whatever’ because someone related by mar-riage might be standing nearby.”
That Ozarks rule was in full effect in Woodrell’s last novel, “Winter’s Bone,” about a poor but heroic teen-ager who suffers a crippling beatdown after asking ques-tions of some meth-dealing neighbors, the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch reports.And even though his new
novel, “The Maid’s Version,” largely leaves the scrubby backwoods for a town set-ting, the rule still applies in Woodrell’s West Table, a fic-tional portrait of his home.
He’ll be in St. Louis on Sept. 30 to talk about the heralded slim new book, which cuts a new path for Woodrell while traveling some of the same creeks, hills and cemeteries.
At age 60, Woodrell says he’s ready to be a “little more generous to some people than I would have been 15 or 20 years ago.”
Known for characters familiar with shotguns, hand-me-downs and squir-rel potpie, Woodrell “writes about violence and dark deeds better than almost anyone in America today, in compact, musical prose that doesn’t dwell on visceral detail,” author Donald Ray Pollack wrote in a 2011 New York Times review of the short story collection “The Outlaw Album.”
But even if “The Maid’s Version” is no portrait of Park Avenue, it at least
includes characters who can employ a maid.
“Mainly I didn’t focus on just one group of people,” Woodrell says in a phone interview. “It basically includes the whole cross-section of economic circum-stances.”
He even has a touch of sympathy for a carousing banker, whose wealth would previously have drawn only scorn: “He’s not by instinct a terrible guy.”
Besides using a historic event for inspiration, Woo-
drell’s novel draws directly from his family and life. The “maid” of the title evokes his grandmothers, one of whom worked as a maid and cook. The other had long hair similar to his character Alma DeGeer Dunahew, whom, he writes, “couldn’t walk when her hair was not woven into dense braids and pinned around and atop her head.”
Alma “was the big red heart of our family, the true heart, the one we keep secret and that sustains us.”
One of Woodrell’s grand-fathers ran to see the cata-strophic explosion that lit up West Plains’ night sky. (For the novel, the author changed the year to 1929 and added a few fatalities.)
DeGeer and Dunahew are names found in the author’s family tree, and Alma’s boys in the novel share traits with Woodrell’s father and uncle, who both served in the Navy in World War II.
Like one character, his father went to Washington University at night on the G.I. Bill.
Tragedy, Woodrell’s family converge in new novel

TOPEKA — An anti-evo-lution group filed a federal lawsuit Thursday to block Kansas from using new, multistate science stan-dards in its public schools, arguing the guidelines pro-mote atheism and violate students’ and parents’ reli-gious freedom.
The group, Citizens for Objective Public Education, had criticized the standards developed by Kansas, 25 other states and the Nation-al Research Council for treating both evolution and climate change as key sci-entific concepts to be taught from kindergarten through
12th grade.The Kansas State Board
of Education adopted them in June to replace evolu-tion-friendly standards that had been in place since 2007.
The new standards, like the ones they replaced, reflect the mainstream sci-entific view that evolution is well-established.
Most board members believed the guidelines will improve science education by shifting the emphasis in science classes to doing hands-on projects and experiments.
The group, a nonprofit organization based in the small community of Peck, south of Wichita, was joined in its lawsuit by parents of
public school students across the state. They’re suing the board, its 10 mem-bers, Education Commis-sioner Diane DeBacker and the state Department of Education.
The case is the latest chapter in a long-running debate in Kansas over what to teach students about 19th century naturalist Charles Darwin’s theories on evolu-tion and scientific develop-ments since. Kansas has had six different sets of sci-ence standards in the past 15 years, as conservative Republicans skeptical of evolution gained and lost board majorities.
The lawsuit argues that the new standards will cause Kansas public schools
to promote a “non-theistic religious worldview” by allowing only “materialis-tic” or “atheistic” explana-tions to scientific questions, particularly about the ori-gins of life and the universe. The suit further argues that state would be “indoctrinat-ing” impressionable stu-dents in violation of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution’s protec-tions for religious freedom.
John Calvert, a Lake Qui-vira attorney representing the group and the parents, said the new standards are particularly troubling because students would start learning evolutionary concepts in kindergarten. Calvert was a key figure in past Kansas evolution
debates and helped found the Intelligent Design Net-work, which contends that life is too complex to have developed through unguid-ed evolution.
“By the time you get into the third grade, you learn all the essential elements of Darwinian evolution,” Calvert said in an interview with The Associated Press before the filing. “By the time you’re in middle school, you’re a Darwin-ist.”
Kansas uses its standards to develop statewide tests given to students each year to judge how well schools are teaching, which in turn influence what happens in classrooms.
New tests could take up
to four years to develop.The lawsuit suggests that
if the federal court won’t block the standards com-pletely, it could bar the state from implementing standards dealing with the origins of life and the uni-verse until high school and require schools to incorpo-rate “adequate and reason-ably complete information” about those topics after-ward.
The information included in the lawsuit is reminis-cent of material skeptical of evolution inserted at the urging of Calvert and other intelligent design propo-nents in science guidelines adopted by a conservative-led State Board of Educa-tion in 2005.

FLOWOOD, Miss. — Mis-sissippi Gov. Phil Bryant told a group of students Thursday that Christianity shapes his world view and he’s not apologetic about opposing abortion or put-ting Nativity scenes on pub-lic property.
The Republican spoke at Hartfield Academy, a Chris-tian school in the Jackson suburb Flowood. The school is starting a series of pro-grams for political and business leaders to talk about their faith. Bryant, who is Methodist, was the first speaker, and about 300 students from Hartfield Academy and Christ Cove-nant School of Ridgeland
gathered in the Hartfield gymnasium to hear him.
Wandering back and forth with a wireless micro-phone, Bryant told the mid-dle school and high school students: “Sometimes, as a Christian, when you try your very best and take a particular position, some people can be very critical of that — maybe not because of a religious standpoint, but some secular beliefs they have. Like, I’m very pro-life. I just believe that that child has a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And I don’t believe you ought to go about destroying those lives.”
Bryant signed a 2012 law that threatens to close Mis-
sissippi’s only abortion clinic. It requires every OB-GYN who works there to have admitting privileges to a local hospital — but privileges can be difficult to obtain because hospitals often won’t give them to out-of-state physicians.
The clinic filed a federal lawsuit challenging the requirement, and a judge put the law on hold to give the clinic time to try to comply. So far, the clinic has been unable to get priv-ileges for its out-of-state doctors.
Bryant said he knows people might post bad things about him on social media.
“But, you know, if I didn’t stand for that, then what
would I have to do?” he said. “And as a Christian, I say, ‘Lord, Lord, I think I under-stand what you would like me to do as governor when it comes to the sanctity of life.’ In fact, I think it’s best I can, to interject myself and to try and stop that horrible procedure when-ever I can.”
Bryant became governor in January 2012. He said Thursday that he put a Nativity scene on the lawn of the Governor’s Mansion last year because it reflects his faith.
A Nativity scene also has been inside the state Capi-tol in recent years.
“I remember a young lady came into the Capitol, there were reporters gath-
ered around me and she said, ‘Why is this Nativity scene so important?’” Bry-ant said. “I said, ‘You know, Christmas is not about hav-ing sales and it’s not only about putting up trees and seeing who can put the most lights on your house. We wouldn’t have this sea-son if it wasn’t for that baby, if it wasn’t for that child.’
“And so I think, I just have this wild, radical idea that in government, we have the right, I have the right and we all have the right to express that belief that Christmas began when a child was born unto a vir-gin. He came to us as the son of God,” Bryant said.
Some critics said the
Nativity scene was inappro-priate because it mingled church and state. Nobody filed a legal challenge, but Bryant said he wouldn’t be bothered if they did.
“A court may say, ‘You can’t put that Nativity scene in a public school, you can’t do certain things in a pub-lic building.’ And so they will send some type of injunction and order me not to do it,” Bryant said.
He noted that early Chris-tians could’ve faced stoning or crucifixion. “So it’s a lot better,” Bryant said. “Injunctions are better than being crucified.”

Every year I am asked numerous times whether this critter
or that plant can predict the weather.
Everybody has heard about the Wooly Bear cat-erpillar’s weather predict-ing ability, but that is just the tip of the iceberg.
White frost flowers start to bloom six weeks before the first frost, according to legend. Large hay crops as well as large nut (acorn or walnut crops) are said to indicate a hard winter approaching. Squirrels that seem extra busy caching nuts is another indicator, according to legend, of a harsh winter.
Thick skins on onions or extra heavy husks on corn are also supposed to indi-
cate a cold winter approach-ing as does a lot of mice trying to get into your house. So how about it? Do critters or plants have the ability to predict the weath-er? Well, no matter what I say, the believers will say yes and the nay-sayers will say no! Do I believe that critters and plants can pre-dict the weather? No. Is the action of critters or heavy nut crops, etc. in response to the weather? Absolutely. But let’s not get the cart
before the horse.Everything in nature is
cause and effect, but let’s get the right cause with the right effect. How a plant grows, and subsequently what it is doing this year, this fall or even right now, is a factor of the weather that we have had all year as well as last year and the years before that. If an oak tree has a lot of acorns, it means that the tree had a good growing season.
There were no late frosts to kill the blossoms, it was good weather for pollinat-ing and then good tempera-tures and precipitation to make sure that the small acorns continued to devel-op to maturity. That’s all it means. Let’s also realize that daily, monthly and
annual weather can follow in patterns. Patterns may last for weeks, months or years. A year with a mild winter can be followed by a year with a cold and snowy winter.
A mild winter could mean good acorn produc-tion conditions. So that mild winter created a situa-tion that allowed a good acorn crop. People will always remember when the folk lore comes true, but rarely do they remember when it was a bust! You could have two mild win-ters in a row. Or you could have a bad summer with no acorn production and a severe winter that follows.
You also have to keep in mind that a bit of forecast-ing folklore may have been
fairly accurate in New Eng-land, but just doesn’t work here in Kansas! The folk-lore migrated with the set-tlers, but the weather pat-terns did not. What about the Wooly Bear caterpil-lars. Does the width of the brown section have any predictive ability for the upcoming winter weather? Legend has it that the wider the brown middle section, the milder the winter. In reality, it appears that the width of the brown band, or rather the number of brown hairs is directly related to how early the cat-erpillar hatched out of it’s egg.
A late spring hatch will result in caterpillars with a different number of brown hairs than an early
spring hatch.It’s weather related alright,
but weather that has already been. As for squirrels busy caching nuts, they’ll only cache them if there are acorns. Again, a function of what has been, not what’s going to be! Weather folklore is fun. White frost flower does in fact bloom about six weeks before our first freeze, assuming our freeze occurs at about the standard time. Seem people swear by these legends, others scoff at them. As for me, they are fun to observe, but when you get right down to it, I don’t even trust the weatherman, so I’m not about to trust a caterpil-lar.

Fall is officially here and for many folks, this is the season
when they “fall” back in to old habits that they worked so hard to break during the fair weather of spring and the warm sun-shine of summer.
Some of the more com-mon areas of relapse are making healthy food choic-es and maintaining physi-cal activity. It seems that spring and summer are the seasons that lend them-selves to activity and healthy eating while fall and winter are the seasons when we tend to slow down, if not halt, that forward momentum. Before you fully turn that corner into relapse, I have a few simple ideas to help you fall in to healthy living instead of falling back into bad hab-its.
My first suggestion is to make sure each meal you have is focused on healthy eating. You can do this in several ways. Make at least half of your plate at each meal full of fruits and veg-etables.
Fresh fruits and vegeta-bles add color and crunch to the meal, but you can use frozen and canned products as good alternatives (watch sugar and salt content, though.) Try adding variety
to your protein choices by changing up your cooking method. Grilling is certain-ly a great option in the cool-er evenings the fall season offers us, but you can bring it back inside and broil or roast your meats.
All three of these meth-ods keep you from adding extra fat to the food you are preparing. Make sure at least half of the breads, pasta and cereal products you are consuming are whole-grain. Reduce the amount of food you eat that is high in fat, sugar, and salt. If you aren’t already drinking skim or 1% milk, consider making the change so that you are still getting the same nutritive value without the higher calories of whole milk.
Another recommenda-tion is to monitor the por-tion size and the calorie content of what you con-sume. Many restaurants offer their nutritional infor-mation online or identify the lower calorie meal choices on their menu for
their customers. I am a strong advocate for eating at home as much as pos-sible. Not only is it less expensive to prepare your own food, you have more control over the food
preparation methods and ingredients you use in your meal. You have the ability to limit the portion size and calorie content of the foods you prepare for yourself and your family.
A third action you could take would be to maintain, if not increase, your daily physical activity level by finding activities you like to do. I have to admit that I am a fair-weather walker, but there are other activities I like that keep me moving.
With 3 young kids at home, going for a bicycle ride always moves me to “#1 Mom” status.” Although I could ask my kids to trek up and down the stairs on laundry days, often times I will choose to do this task instead, just to make sure I am getting my exercise in for the day. If you have an office job where you tend to sit for the majority of the day, make sure you get up from your desk at least once an hour to get your body moving.As sugges-tions, walk down to the water fountain or out to the parking lot and back.
Finally, drinking plenty of water is foundational to maintaining a healthy bal-ance. Even in the fall and winter months when the cooler weather reduces our rate of perspiration, our body needs water to main-tain its functions.
Our body uses water for the following functions: regulate body temperature; lubricate and cushion our joints; protect our body — specifically the spinal cord and other sensitive tissue; and keep our body regular by ridding it of waste.
Keep your water balance at an adequate level by car-rying a water bottle with you at work or home. Keep the water cool to make it more appealing. You can also add a slice of lemon or lime to jazz up the flavor a bit. Choose water over sug-
ar-sweetened beverages. As added benefits, water has no calories and usually costs nothing when you are dining out. (Sources: CDC, USDA)
If you find yourself want-ing to avoid the loss of momentum during the fall season, I am offering a cou-ple of Healthy Living pro-grams on Oct. 3 that will give you some ideas of what you can do to start or main-tain a healthy balance in your daily living.
The first program is tar-geted for adults who are 50 and older that are interest-ed in increasing their phys-ical activity. The one hour program begins at 4 p.m. at the Geary County Senior Center. The program will explain the impact an active lifestyle has on health and well-being and explore
types of activities that can keep you active.
Another program later the same day at 6 p.m. is for adults of any age. This hour-long program will help participants consider their food choices and cre-ate a personal plan to get themselves motivated to eat healthy and be physically active.
Both programs are free, but require that you call the Geary County office to register so that we can make sure we have enough resources for everyone.
Contact Donna at the Geary County Extension office at 238-4161 to reserve your space.
