KANSAS CITY — A federal judge has approved bond for two scien-tists from China accused of steal-ing trade secrets from Ventria Bio-science in Junction City.

A grand jury in December indict-ed Weiqiang Zhang and Wengui Yan on one count each of conspira-cy to steal trade secrets and theft of trade secrets. Zhang was an agri-cultural seed breeder at Ventria. Yan was a U.S. Department of Agri-

culture research geneticist at the Dale Bumpers National Rice Research Center in Stuttgart, Ark.

They’re accused of stealing Ven-tria rice seeds containing proteins used for therapeutic purposes.

Ventria was the only U.S. pro-ducer of those particular seeds and said if the seeds were stolen and the technology compromised, “its entire research and development investment would be compro-mised,” according to the federal complaint against the two men.

The company said its investment in developing the seeds ranged up to $18 million.

Yan and Zhang were denied bond at their initial detention hearings in December, but were later grant-ed new hearings last month in fed-eral court in Kansas City.

Prosecutors objected to bond for both men, saying there would be no way to “reasonably assure” their appearance at upcoming hearings, and that Zhang lied to investigators and had structured certain finan-cial transactions in an apparent effort to avoid reporting them.

In federal court in Arkansas, where Yan’s initial detention hear-ing was held, a magistrate initially declined Yan bond, saying Yan had “considerable and somewhat mys-

terious sources of income.” U.S. District Judge Carlos Mur-

guia, however, signed orders Jan. 31 for Zhang and Yan to be allowed release on $50,000 appearance bonds, according to online court

Emergency officials are taking steps toward improving surveillance at Geary County’s courthouse and office building.

Geary County Sheriff Tony Wolf said Monday the department is sub-mitting bid estimates to three compa-nies for the installation of a camera system.

The companies are from Junction City, Manhattan and Salina.

“It’s really hard to locate places like this for commercial things,” Wolf said. “Most of them do residential properties.”

Wolf expects the offers to be competitive in the coming days ahead.

The process was sparked as a result of a

bill allowing people with conceal-and-carry permits to carry guns into pub-lic buildings, if security plans are not in place.

After deliberations with local offi-cials, security at the courthouse now includes armed guards and metal detectors.

All “no guns allowed” signs were removed Jan. 1.

In addition to the security and cam-era discussion, Human Resources Director Lisa Eickholt discussed the gun policy and county employees.

1st Inf. Div. Public Affairs

FORT RILEY — Firefighters need to be able to respond to a wide variety of emergency situa-tions, including getting injured or trapped individuals out of vehicles.

On posts like Fort Riley, that means emergency personnel will not only need to save individuals from normal vehicles, but also armored, combat-locked vehicles, like humvees.

To that end, soldiers with Divi-sion Headquarters and Head-quarters Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, worked with firefight-ers from the Fort Riley Fire and Emergency Services to review

how to work with military vehi-cles in the event of an accident.

“We have military vehicles and the knowledge on how to do extri-cation with them,” said Sgt. Dan-iel Cummins, health care non-commissioned officer, DHHB, 1st Inf. Div., who led the demonstra-tion last week in the DHHB motor pool. “The fire department doesn’t have an opportunity to be able to do this all the time, so we set up some training going around some of the different types of military vehicles, getting some hands-on refresher training, so that if anything ever happens out on the tank trails or with one of the military vehicles, they have a good idea of how to do things, so we can get people taken care of.”

Firefighters present received a

rundown on the major differenc-es between civilian and military vehicles and how to quickly enter humvees and Light Medium Tac-tical Vehicles. Cummins said vehicles like these present a unique problem because of their combat locks.

“With the military vehicles, it’s a lot harder to get in if you don’t know what you’re doing,” Cum-mins said. “With the combat locks, if you don’t have the right tools, it can take up to 10, 15 min-utes,” to reach trapped or injured soldiers.

The health care NCO said the firefighters were excited to work with the military vehicles.

“Just something new, some-thing different,” he said.

When Kyra Crawford is in the zone, smiling and waving at cars passing by Liberty Tax Service on North Washington Street, she’s normally dancing to a playlist of Eminem, Drake and Rihanna.

“Dancing definitely does help me stay warm,” Craw-ford said on an 18-degree Monday afternoon as she stood outside, dressed in her Statue of Liberty cos-tume. “Especially if I’m lis-tening to the right type of

song, I’ll just start dancing for no reason.”

In her first year as a Lib-erty Tax employee, the 23-year-old woman has learned dancing helps in more ways than one. As part of her job, she’s tasked with attracting the atten-tion of potential customers.

“I think I bring in more customers because I’m more energetic and things like that,” Crawford said.

Military Saves

By J. Parker roBerts

1st Infantry Division Public Affairs

Students of all ages at St. Xavier Catholic School got a visit from several “Big Red One” soldiers Jan. 29, as the school celebrated its nation and its neighbors at Fort Riley.

Soldiers with Division Headquarters and Head-quarters Battalion, 1st Infantry Division — the school’s partner unit — as well as the 1st Infantry Division Band, gathered about 150 students in the school’s gymnasium for music and sharing infor-mation.

“I would like to thank you all for the opportunity to come and talk about some of the things we do in the military,” said Chief Warrant Officer 2 Rasheen Chatmon, DHHB, 1st Inf. Div. “One of the things that

we do is humanitarian aid.”

Chatmon described to the children the types of humanitarian efforts sol-diers take part in, as well as other details about the lives of soldiers.

He said Big Red One sol-diers do more in terms of helping people than partici-pating in warfighting efforts.

He used his experience in giving aid in Haiti to those affected by the major earth-quake there in January 2010.

“We had to go down there, and we had to make sure that nobody stole somebody else’s lunch,” he said. “We had to make sure that everybody had water to drink and had a place to stay.”

Sgt. Jordan Miculka told the students about his career path in the Army, from radio repair to infor-

mation technology.“Since I’ve been in, it’s

put my life in perspective,” Miculka said. “The Army is definitely something out there … It helps pay for your college, it helps teach you a job, and once you do 20 years, you can retire.”

He then took questions from the students and explained some of the vari-ous patches on his uni-form.

“I would like to encour-age all of you to always be strong and believe in your-self,” said Spc. Diamond Jones, DHHB, 1st Infantry Division “You can do it.”

Sgt. Larissa Young, the last of the featured speak-ers from DHHB, told the students they could be any-

thing they wanted, but making the wrong life choices only makes follow-ing one’s dreams harder.

“I joined the Army just three years ago, and because I had made some bad choic-es, things didn’t go like I wanted them to go,” she said. “You make bad deci-sions; you can’t be what you want to be. Drinking, drugs, bad friends, making bad choices – you cannot be what you want to be.”

Kayley Jones, a fourth-grader at St. Xavier, said she enjoyed the soldiers’ interaction with students at the school.

“I liked it,” the 9-year-old said, citing Young as her favorite speaker.

4th IBCT Public Affairs

The Army’s campaign of ready and resilient is com-ing to the forefront as oper-ational postures change and the reduction of forces continues.

As the 4th Infantry Bri-gade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division prepares for training, the operational stress on soldiers and fami-lies can build. To mitigate stressful situations and reactive decisions that could hinder operations for soldiers, the command team of Company A, 1st Battalion, 28th Infantry Regiment, 4th IBCT, 1st Inf. Div. saw a need that with the proper resources could be fixed with guidance and a plan. The plan was to build ready and resilient soldiers and leaders who could conquer any situa-tion with composure and focus.

Twenty soldiers, both enlisted and commissioned, completed a four-day course — from Jan. 27 to 30 — to enhance leader philosophy, mental-skills foundation, goal setting and attention-control skills to fortify their leader’s books.

“We’ve been running through a leader develop-ment course, and what that course is based on is a lot of the principles we know in sports psychology about really top-level performers, on what it takes for them to be the best, how they go about performing at their best and the elements of that we can take and teach others about,” said Sam Whalen, master resiliency trainer and performance expert, Comprehensive Sol-dier and Family Fitness Training Center. “We’re taking the leadership and teaching them these mental skills. The thought is by instilling these skills in them, they can take it back to their unit to impart their wisdom and share what they’ve learned with their guys.”

Seeing the need to expand on the acquired skills of his

leaders, Capt. Kenneth O’Reilly, commander, Co. A, 1st Bn. 28th Inf. Regt., coordinated with Whalen and six other master resil-iency trainer and perfor-mance experts at the CSF2 to develop a program to enhance his leaders’ abili-ties through a series of practical exercises, obstacle courses, team building and critical-thinking tasks that can be implemented and shared before the unit con-ducts movement to the Joint Readiness Training Center, Fort Polk, La., in the near future.

For four days, the leaders had the opportunity to learn vital practices to help them get in the positive mindset to approach situa-tions as challenges, instead of threats. Research shows by adopting this mindset, one can build confidence and maintain the necessary persistence to overcome situations.

Another factor of the class was attention control. The techniques taught dur-ing that portion of the class were used during the obsta-cle course and practical-exercise session. The lead-ership conducted a series of calisthenics and com-pleted puzzles, muscle con-trol and focus-driven sce-narios.

One of the scenarios was trying to thread a needle after completing 10 pull-ups.

“You have to concentrate on your breathing, which will steady your hand and help you thread the needle,” said Sgt. Kyle Davis, infan-tryman and school non-commissioned officer, Co. A, 1st Bn. 28th Inf. Regt.

“The more and more you do resiliency training, you find more ways to improve things you have already been doing,” said Davis, who also is a master resil-iency trainer. “They all give you different ways to think about things and different approaches through criti-cal thinking to help develop a better plan, whether its (physical training) or devel-oping an (operational order).”

Beach’s Jan. 27 performance, enti-tled “Kansas the 34th Star,” was part

For the fourth consecu-tive month, local tempera-tures fell below average.

Unfortunately we also had our fifth consecutive month with precipitation falling below average as well.

The average daily high in January was 38.5, 1 degree below average.

The average overnight low was 13.6 degrees, 4.7 degrees below average.

This gave us a monthly mean temperature of 26.0, 2.9 degrees below the long term average.

The highest temperature for the month was a very comfortable 60 on the Jan. 19.

The coldest temperature

for January was 6 below zero on the Jan. 5-6.

There were no tempera-ture records set or tied during the month.

This was noticeably colder than January of 2013, when we had a month-ly mean temperature of 32.2.

The warmest January on record was in 2006 when we had an incredibly warm monthly mean tempera-ture of 43.9.

The coldest January on record was in 1979 when we had a bone chilling average temperature for the month of only 12.9.

January is traditionally our driest month of the year and January 2014 held true to that statistic.

While we had slightly above-normal snowfall, 4.8 inches — 4.7 is the long term average — the liquid precipitation totals just didn’t follow suit.

Normal precipitation for January is only 0.65 inches. Junction City recorded 0.29 inches and Milford Lake tallied 0.33 inches of liquid precipitation.

The 4.8 inches of snow brought the seasonal snow-

fall total (since Oct. 1) up to 13.8 inches.

Normal through Janu-ary is 9.4 inches.

The average annual snowfall is 18 inches.

The snowiest January was in 1979, also our cold-est January, when 18.6 inches was recorded near-by in Manhattan.

The wettest January (liq-uid precipitation) was in 1949 when 4.28 inches were recorded.

The driest January was in 1986 when no precipita-tion was recorded for the month.

February is our shortest month of the year but also starts to give us a glimmer of spring.

Average daytime highs start the month at 39 and by the end of the month rise to nearly 50.

Overnight lows start the month around 17 degrees and rise to 26 by month’s end.

January and December are our two driest months of the year and February isn’t much better at only 1.12 inches of precipitation expected.

February is tied with January for our snowiest month of the year.

Normal February snow-fall is 4.7 inches.

Those two months nor-mally account for half of our average seasonal snow.

Special to the Daily Union

“The weather outlook for this summer is ‘neu-tral,’ and that’s good.”

While many question the logic of appeal in that state-ment, their disgust rises with the additional com-ments:

“Despite record snow-falls in many locales dur-ing the first week of Febru-ary, water content is really quite low. Much of the state of Kansas is still under drought conditions.”

Those three points were the meat of a highly antici-pated and closely-moni-tored presentation kicking off the first 2014 580 WIBW-hosted Farm Profit Con-ference Thursday eve-ning at Lyndon.

Mary Knapp, Kansas

State University climatolo-gist, who has been a regu-lar commentator at Farm Profit conferences for at least a half-dozen years, was introduced by long-time 580 Farm Director Kelly Lenz, coordinator and moderator of the pro-gram.

Nearly 150 farm people from eight counties were in attendance braving subze-ro temperatures and snow-drifts for the complimen-tary supper and education-al and entertaining pro-gram, rescheduled from two days earlier when weather conditions were such one couldn’t see to get out of the driveway, let alone into the Osage Coun-ty town seat.

In her opening remarks, Knapp clarified the differ-ence in a weatherman and a climatologist.

“A weather forecaster is often also a meteorologist who is a specialist studying processes in the earth’s atmosphere that cause weather conditions,” she said. “They apply the appli-cation of science and tech-nology to predict the state of the atmosphere for a given location.

“Climatologists study climate change, climate variability, and the effects of climate on the bio-sphere, basing longtime weather outlooks on his-tory,” Knapp said.

“It sometimes gets blurry, the difference, but

I’m a climatologist,” she said.

“We have been having hotter and drier conditions than normal during the past several summers, so neutral is positive,” Knapp said in justifying her neu-tral summer outlook. “It could be wetter and cool-er.”

With an in-depth colored slide presentation, Knapp informed the farm crowd of what the weather has been, is and “might be” during the next several

weeks and months.Statewide temperatures

last year were about nor-mal, with the western third of Kansas warmer than normal.

But, precipitation was again especially low in the western fifth of the state, ranging from 10 to 14 inch-es total in the far western tier of counties.

“However, eastern Kan-sas had precipitation aver-aging from 32 inches to 61 inches in far southeast Kansas,” Knapp said.

Sam AmunrudAug. 24, 1994 — Feb. 5, 2014

Judith Rae “Judy” Harvey, 59 of Pittsburg died Feb. 4, 2014 from injuries sustained in an automobile accident. She was born Aug. 24, 1954 in Junction City, the daughter of Francis and Betty (Bottorff) Schippert.

She graduated from Junction City High School with the class of 1972. She went on to study nursing at Pittsburg State University, where she received a Bachelors of Nurs-ing degree.

On Nov. 22, 1977 she was united in marriage to Glen Har-vey in Pittsburg; he survives her of the home.

She was employed at Via Christi Hospital Home Health Care.

She was a member of TOPS Chapter 0599 and was the treasurer.

Additional survivors include a daughter, Dedra Flemons of Wichita; two sons, Byron Harvey of Shawnee and Aaron Harvey of Overland Park; a brother, James Schippert of Lake Jackson, Texas; a half-sister, Linda Morgan of Topeka; along with seven grand-

children, Taelor and Stethen Flemons, BJ, Braylon, Brook-lynn Harvey, Brynnleigh Lamm and Tyler Harvey.

She was preceded in death by her parents and a half-sister, Sandy Screwes.

Memorial services were held at 11 a.m. Feb. 10 at the Bath-Naylor Funeral Home in Pittsburg with Rev. James Sukraw officiating.

Sam was a patriot in the true sense of the word. Born in La Crosse on Aug. 26, 1994, Samuel “Sam” Mark Amu-nrud, beloved son of Mark and Jo Amunrud, unexpect-edly and tragically died of a brain aneurysm on Feb. 5, 2014, at the University of Kansas Hospital, Kansas City, Kan.

Sam loved the outdoors and adventure. Accord-ing to Sam, “all great adventures begin by going west — 270 degrees due west.” He was active with the Company B, 2nd Wisconsin Volunteer Infan-try, “The Poor Boys.” Immediately prior to his passing, Sam was a member of the 1st Engineer Battalion, one of the oldest and most decorated Engineer Battalions in the United States Army.

He had a very special bond with his brothers in arms! He will surely watch over them in whatever the future holds for them.

He is survived by his parents, many loving family members, Army buddies and special friends. Sam’s gen-erosity continued after death.

His decision to be an organ donor restored life’s promise to many.

By The Associated Press

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Gabriel Axel, the first Dane to win an Oscar for best foreign film with “Babette’s Feast” which he directed, has died at the age of 95.

His daughter Karin Moerch said in a statement that he died Sunday “quietly and peacefully after a long

and eventful life.” She did not say where he died or give the cause of death.

Born April 18, 1918, in Denmark’s second city Aarhus, Axel divided his time between his homeland and France.

He grew up in Paris where his father owned a factory and at age 18 he returned to Denmark to work as

a carpenter making furniture.But the theater drew him, and he

enrolled in the Danish Royal The-ater Actors’ School, graduating in 1945.

Axel was born Gabriel Axel Moerch but he dropped his last name when he joined the theater troupe of French film and stage artist Louis Jouvet in Paris.

Danish film director Axel dies at 95

NATION/WORLD

CAIRO — Egypt’s state agency said Monday that judicial authorities have set Feb. 20 as the starting date for the trial of 20 people, including four foreigners, they say worked for the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera network.

Charges include joining a terrorist group, aiding a terrorist group, and endan-gering national security.

The Middle East News Agency said Cairo Appeals Court head Nabil Salib set the date for the trial before the Cairo Criminal Court.

It says eight are in deten-tion while 12 others will be tried in absentia.

Al-Jazeera has consis-tently denied the charges, saying its journalists were only doing their jobs. The network says only nine of those named were on its staff.

Defendants include Al Jazeera English acting bureau chief Mohammed Fahmy, a Canadian-Egyp-tian, award-winning corre-spondent Peter Greste of Australia and producer Baher Mohamed, an Egyp-tian.

The government claims the channel has helped Egypt’s largest Islamist group, the Muslim Brother-hood, which it has desig-nated terrorist. The Broth-erhood denies it practices violence.

The trial marks the first time Egypt prosecutes jour-nalists on terrorism-related charges. It comes amid an extensive crackdown on the Brotherhood as well as some secular dissidents.

Puerto Rico teacher arrested on

enticement chargesSAN JUAN, Puerto Rico

— A gym teacher in Puerto Rico faces federal charges for allegedly using social media to entice a 15-year-old girl into unlawful sexu-al conduct.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency on Monday identi-fied the man as 27-year-old Melvin Rivera Gonzalez. He works at an elementary school in the northern town of Toa Baja.

The agency is handling the case under an initiative to track down sex preda-tors.

U.S. agents say they began investigating Rivera after school officials report-ed he was using the popu-lar Kik application for mes-saging and sharing video on smartphones to sexually entice a student.

Agents allege he later engaged in sexually explicit

conversations with an undercover agent posing as a minor.

A judge ordered Rivera held. It wasn’t immediately clear if he has a lawyer.

Obama officials weigh drone attack

on US suspectWASHINGTON — The

case of an American citizen and suspected member of al-Qaida who is allegedly planning attacks on U.S. targets overseas under-scores the complexities of President Barack Obama’s new stricter targeting guidelines for the use of deadly drones.

The CIA drones watching him cannot strike because he’s a U.S. citizen. The Pen-tagon drones that could are barred from the country where he’s hiding, and the Justice Department has not yet finished building a case against him.

Four U.S. officials said the American suspected terrorist is in a country that refuses U.S. military action on its soil and that has proved unable to go after him. And Obama’s new policy says American suspected terrorists over-seas can only be killed by the military, not the CIA, creating a policy conun-drum for the White House.

Two of the officials described the man as an al-Qaida facilitator who has been directly responsible for deadly attacks against U.S. citizens overseas and who continues to plan

attacks against them that would use improvised explosive devices.

The officials said the sus-pected terrorist is well-guarded and in a fairly remote location, so any uni-lateral attempt by U.S. troops to capture him would be risky and even more politically explosive than a U.S. missile strike.

White House press secre-tary Jay Carney said Mon-day he would not comment on specific operations and pointed to Obama’s com-ments in the major coun-terterrorism speech last May about drone policy.

“When a U.S. citizen goes abroad to wage war against America and is actively plotting to kill U.S. citizens,

and when neither the Unit-ed States, nor our partners are in a position to capture him before he carries out a plot, his citizenship should no more serve as a shield than a sniper shooting down on an innocent crowd should be protected from a SWAT team,” Carney said, quoting from Obama’s

speech last year.Under new guidelines

Obama addressed in the speech made to calm anger overseas at the extent of the U.S. drone campaign, lethal force must only be used “to prevent or stop attacks against U.S. per-sons, and even then, only when capture is not feasible

and no other reasonable alternatives exist to address the threat effectively.” The target must also pose “a continuing, imminent threat to U.S. persons” — the legal definition of catch-ing someone in the act of plotting a lethal attack.

The Associated Press has agreed to the government’s request to withhold the name of the country where the suspected terrorist is believed to be because offi-cials said publishing it could interrupt ongoing counterterror operations.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the classified drone targeting program publicly.

House Intelligence Com-mittee Chairman Mike Rog-ers, R-Mich., complained last week that a number of terrorist suspects were all but out of reach under the administration’s new rules that limit drone strikes based on the target’s nation-ality or location. Two of the U.S. officials said the Jus-tice Department review of the American suspected terrorist started last fall.

Another viewEncouraging signs

The following editorial appeared in the Dallas Morning News on Friday, Feb. 7

The news from Capitol Hill on Thursday was sobering: House Speaker John Boehner threw cold water on hopes for immigration reform

this year. But those who long for smart bipartisan-ship in Washington need not despair. There is still the Smarter Sentencing Act.

The bill, which cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, would cut minimum sen-tences in half for many drug offenses. And, impor-tant, it would make the reduced crack sentences passed in 2010 retroactive, allowing for the release of thousands now languishing in federal prison under outdated, racially unjust guidelines.

This is not just about fairness. The mandatory-minimum laws passed in the 1980s, at the height of the crack epidemic, are having serious economic consequences today. The federal inmate population has grown eightfold since 1980 to 218,000 today; half are drug offenders. Federal prisons consume about a quarter of the Justice Department budget.

That dual sense of moral obligation and fiscal responsibility is why the Smarter Sentencing Act has such an ideologically diverse base of support.

It was introduced last summer by an unlikely pair (always a good sign): tea party stalwart Mike Lee, R-Utah, and liberal Dick Durbin, D-Ill. A dis-parate group of senators are supporting it, includ-ing Republicans Rand Paul and Ted Cruz and Democrats Patrick Leahy and Carl Levin.

The bill is one of several sentencing and prison reforms that could reverse the upward trend in federal incarcerations.

In December, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, intro-duced the Federal Prison Reform Act, which aims to increase efficiencies in prisons and reduce recid-ivism. Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., and Rob Portman, R-Ohio, have proposed a bill aimed at reducing recidivism, And Reps. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, and Bobby Scott, D-Va., are co-sponsoring the House version of the Smarter Sentencing Act.

Note the commingling of D’s and R’s in these lists. The return of bipartisanship in the name of common-sense reform is both welcome and over-due.

Legislature looking at gay marriage bill ... but not what you think

Gay marriage opponents — some churches and apparently wed-ding cake bakers — have stirred

one of the strangest bills that Kansas legislators have dealt with in years.

The issue is relatively simple. Gay marriage is not recognized in Kansas, even if the couple has gone to a state that allows gay marriage, wed, and returned to Kansas. When that couple returns to Kansas to live and work, and presumably do that “consumption spending” that will balance the state budget, they won’t necessarily get the same government services that boy/girl married couples get under terms of the bill.

Now, if a private firm doesn’t want to deal with same-sex married couples — sell them those wedding, or probably more accurately, anniversary party cakes — that’s one thing.

But if an employee of a governmen-tal entity — that’s the executive, legis-lative, and judicial branches of state government, and any and all agencies, boards, commissions, departments, districts, authorities, or other entities, subdivisions or parts whatsoever of state and local government — doesn’t care to deal with gay married couples for whatever reason, that’s something else.

Key to the bill that the House is con-sidering is that gay marrieds can’t sue the government or its agents for dis-crimination. There’s no state law, apparently only an ordinance in Law-rence, of course, that prohibits dis-crimination against gays — single or married — which would give rise to lawsuits for discrimination.

So, cakes aside, it really appears to come down to the simple issue that Kansas doesn’t recognize gay marriage, and isn’t likely to unless or until the state’s constitutional prohibition of gay marriage is repealed or overridden by the U.S. Supreme Court.

That’s the landscape.The bill says that if a government

employee, who has sincere religious or other convictions against gay mar-riage, refuses to perform his/her job if it involves dealing with gay marrieds, the agency is supposed to find someone

in the agency who will, “as long as it doesn’t cause undue hardship.”

Governmental agencies, of course, can’t ask employees’ religion or wheth-er they have convictions that would prevent them from doing the job they were hired for if it involves dealing with gay marriage, domestic partner-ship, civil union or similar arrange-ments.

And we doubt whether a governmen-tal employer can require those workers to wear a tag or maybe just one of those colorful plastic wrist bracelets so gay marrieds can move to the next window to pay their property taxes without a fuss. Wonder what happens if the man-ager of a governmental agency has those sincerely held convictions? Hmmm ...

Now, this isn’t going to come up a lot, we presume. But when it does, well, could it be impossible in some places for gay marrieds to get their dog licensed or the water turned on at their home?

Letter to the EditorTroubled with transparency

To the Editor:

The term “transparency,” when used in the same sentence with the term “government,” usually involves some degree of opaqueness

or murkiness. Rarely does it ever involve a truly clear picture. Even when some level of clarity occurs, the government’s tendency is to return to the norm, which is everything but clarity.

Two city administrations back from our current city management team, discrepancies were identi-fied between what had been posted in two budget reports and official statements made about how monies were spent, and city employees supported, on the opera house (our “jewel on the prairie”).

When the anomalies were pointed out, the city manager moved the opera house line item from an enterprise fund to the general fund. That “budget adjustment” makes it very difficult to track the actual costs to operate that venue by the taxpayer.

One city administration back the financial chaos left by the previous administration was straight-ened out, efforts were made to create a city website and it was announced that transparency was in effect.

It was not perfect, but was a big step forward for citizens to see how the city was spending their money. (However, the opera house was still hiding in the general fund. Transparency is, after all, a relative term.) I recently looked at the finance por-tion of the city’s website. It seems some spread-sheets are missing data, some have data posted but with reduced information and some not even post-ed at all.

The 2011 Monthly Budget Report does not con-tain any financial data for December. The 2012 Monthly Budget Report and 2013’s Monthly Budget Report are not posted. Line item #17 (Rolling Mead-ows Golf Fund Financial Summary) appears to have gone missing since January 2012. The munici-pal airport does not have a fund financial summary either.

In short, the finance section of the website seems to have become less useful when someone looks for information.

One cannot speak intelligently to a potential problem if the collection of information becomes elusive or expensive to acquire and difficult to interpret. Could it be that we are observing the natural drift back to the norm in action?

Standard government checklist: 1.) Refill the smoke generator; 2.) Adjust mirrors one degree to the left or right.

Reputation vs. regulationBy John StoSSel

Special to The Daily Union

Do you like to cook? Throw dinner parties? Many people enjoy that, but paying for the food, plus

accessories, is expensive. Would you host more often if you could get your guests to cover the costs?

Or suppose you’d like to go to a din-ner party to meet new people in your neighborhood. Or maybe when you travel, instead of eating at restaurants, you’d like to see how the locals live.

Good news! Today both cooks and diners can get what they want. A new Internet business brings them togeth-er.

Bad news: Bureaucrats and the media worry that the dinner parties are not regulated.

Here’s how the business works. On the website EatWith.com, people who want to throw parties post pictures of their homes and the kinds of things they like to cook. “I really reminisce back to the days when friends would get together for a dinner party and then, maybe meet new friends,” said a hostess who let us watch one of her events. “Magical things happen around the table when you sit people with food and alcohol ... “

Eight people were eager to try her hospitality. Each chipped in $39 (other hosts charge as little as $23 for a simple pizza gathering or as much as $150 for an elegant dinner with wine). All her guests said they had a wonderful time. Some exchanged phone numbers with new friends.

EatWith.com founder Guy Michlin got the idea for this business after an experience he had on a trip to Greece.

“After many tourist traps, I hap-pened to be invited to a local family. It was such a profound and amazing expe-rience. And when I’m back home, I said, OK, let’s share this moment with millions around the world. And just build this platform called EatWith.” Now, Michlin takes a 15 percent cut of the cost of every dinner party.

What makes such businesses work is the power of reputation. Guests use the EatWith platform to rate homes and cooks. Hosts can decline guests if they don’t feel comfortable with their pro-files.

Government, always slow on the uptake, barely knows services like this exist. But when it finds out, odds are it will panic and regulate them. Fools in my profession will encourage that. WCBS-TV in New York, the TV station that gave me my first consumer-report-ing job, aired a breathless report on “underground” dinner parties with ominous narration about “strangers” and a meal that was “completely unreg-ulated!”

Oh, my goodness. Completely unreg-ulated. Strangers in a home. The TV “investigators” brought in a hidden camera! Like this was a crime?

“Restaurants are regulated,” say the nannies. “Caterers, too.”

True. But most of the regulation is useless. It’s the need to maintain one’s reputation that does most to keep us safe — especially today, with instant feedback from the Internet. No clumsy

government regulation is needed. Gov-ernment (so far) doesn’t micromanage private dinner parties. Charging a fee shouldn’t make a difference.

EatWith guests don’t just count on reviews for their safety. The website vets each host in hopes of excluding any who might embarrass the compa-ny. Businesses like EatWith protect their investments by buying insurance in case someone sues.

In fact, the precautions encouraged or dictated by insurance companies are usually more rational than the ones cobbled together by the political bureaucracy because private insurance companies really have to avoid losing money. They set rational rules that encourage clean kitchens and proper food handling.

The main reason businesses must do things well is to maintain their reputa-tions. The hope of repeat business — for EatWith and for hosts using it — means it’s important to be hospitable and crucial not to poison your guests. Word gets out if you poison the guests.

EatWith continues to grow. Prospec-tive hosts from more than a hundred companies have applied for listings. It’s a new and terrific part of what’s called the “sharing economy.”

Government pretends it must have a place at the table, but free people ought to be able to eat without government permission.

KANSAS NEWS

KANSAS CITY — Miss Kansas traded evening gowns for camouflage when she went out on a deer bow hunt this winter in southeast Kansas.

Theresa Vail joined a December hunt in the Pratt area organized by the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tour-ism, JB Outfitters and Realtree Outdoors, which taped the hunt for a televi-sion show, The Kansas City Star reported.

“I like to hunt, and I’m not going to hide that. A woman can enjoy being out there bow hunting just as much as a man can,” said Vail, who was also the first Miss America contestant to reveal her tattoos during the nation-al pageant’s swimsuit competition.

Vail, 23 and a sergeant in the National Guard, has been a hunter since her dad introduced her to the sport when she was 10. She took part the hunt to get a chance to shoot a trophy buck.

“I think a lot of people have preconceived notions of what a beauty pageant queen will act like,” said Vail, who was scheduled to be the featured speaker at the Hunter’s Expo in Overland Park, which ended Sunday.

Vail bow hunted for three days in cold, wet conditions with Realtree’s David Blanton.

Vail got her shot at an 8-point buck in the final hour on the third day.

“I have only been bow hunting for a year,” she said. “I had taken a couple of does, but I wanted a big Kansas buck. This was a thrill.”

Vail majored in chemis-try and Chinese at Kansas State before she became

Miss Kansas.She said she probably

won’t immediately return to school after her reign as Miss Kansas is over. She’d like to get a job in the outdoors industry, possibly with her own TV show on hunting.

She also speaks to groups about bullying and her love of the outdoors and expects to be busy after she steps down as Miss Kansas.

“For one thing, I’m going to do a lot more hunting,” she said.

Agency says state slow to turn over

tobacco dataTOPEKA — Ten months

and $5,000 after it started trying to get records from the state attorney gener-al’s office on the amount of money Kansas is receiv-ing in tobacco settlement money, Kansas Action for Children said it still hasn’t received the information it seeks.

The nonprofit agency filed a request in May for information related to a settlement with tobacco companies that funnels millions of dollars into early childhood programs, the Topeka Capital Jour-nal reported.

Major tobacco compa-nies sued dozens of states, arguing they had not kept their end of the settlement — including assessing fees against smaller tobacco companies to prevent a competitive disadvantage.

Kansas and other states settled that suit last year. Terms of the deal could affect how much money continues to flow from the original “master settle-ment agreement.”

“Most parts” of the

accounting documents outlining how much Kan-sas is estimated to receive each year are “made con-fidential by court order,” Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt’s office said.

But that information is of clear public interest and critical to helping lawmakers and the Kan-sas Children’s Cabinet plan for the future of the Kansas Endowment for Youth and the Children’s Initiative Fund, said Shan-non Cotsoradis, president and CEO of Kansas Action for Children.

“These are questions they really should have been forthcoming about,” Cotsoradis said. “It’s a public settlement.”

Cotsoradis said her group filed an open records request to get a better idea of the estimat-ed payments, but that effort has been largely stymied.

She said in a blog post that the process of secur-ing open records is “not free,” “not easy” and can be hampered by signifi-cant delays.

“This process under-scores the challenges any organization or private citizen will face if they attempt to exercise their right to access documents that should be readily available to the public,” Cotsoradis wrote.

Most of the money her group has spent to obtain the documents was for the services of Topeka attor-ney Mike Merriam, an authority on Kansas’ open meetings and open records laws.

Now in its fifth version, the group’s open records request remains pending in Shawnee County Dis-trict Court.

Schmidt’s office has provided hundreds of pages of PriceWater-houseCoopers’ accounting documents, but many of them are heavily redact-ed.

On one page, Schmidt’s office chose to redact an email address of PriceWa-terhouseCoopers employ-ee Ida Thompson that is available online.

A spokesman for Schmidt’s office said he couldn’t speak on pending litigation.

In a letter to the chair of the Kansas Children’s Cabinet, though, Schmidt’s office said claims it has withheld information are “not true.”

“To the contrary, my office has made publicly available more informa-tion about this dispute, and now its likely resolu-tion, than any previous administration,” Schmidt wrote.

Weather service retools storm

spotter presentation

WICHITA — National Weather Service officials in Wichita have retooled their storm spotter train-ing classes as they pre-pare for presentations around the region.

The Wichita Eagle reports the weather ser-vice’s “Storm Fury on the Plains” presentations for this year will stress the importance of situational awareness.

The classes are being held in all 26 counties in the Wichita branch’s warning coverage area.

The first will be Mon-day night in Eureka, with March and April presen-tations scheduled for Wichita.

Meteorologist Chance Hayes says the weather service offers presenta-tions around the state because Kansans have a tendency to become com-placent around storms.

Hayes says people need to realize that tornadoes don’t always react in a typical fashion.

Kansas attorney general vetted ag

department’s moveTOPEKA — Acting Kan-

sas Agriculture Secretary Jackie McClaskey says the attorney general’s office vetted her department’s

plans to move more than 100 employees to Manhat-tan from the state capital of Topeka.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that McClaskey faced ques-tions about the move dur-ing a recent meeting of the Kansas House Agri-culture and Natural Resources Committee.

The department expects to move more than 100 of its 150 employees in Tope-ka to Manhattan by this summer so they’re close to Kansas State University and a new national biode-fense lab.

Republican Rep. Don Schroeder of Hesston noted that state law requires the Department of Agriculture to be head-quartered in Topeka.

McClaskey said the attorney general’s office told her the department is in compliance as long as it has a Topeka office.

Secrets to make your relationship stronger!

Dear Annie: A few years ago, my wife went out of town for a conference.

A month after she returned, I was on our com-puter and noticed that she hadn’t logged out of her email.

My curiosity got the best of me, and I saw that she had traded emails with an old boyfriend.

I then discovered that the two of them had met while she was at the conference.

One of her last emails to him said, “I still have feel-ings for you.”

On the advice of a mar-riage counselor, I was direct with her about it.

She claimed nothing hap-pened and that they only met for dinner and said she would never contact him again.

She also was angry that I had invaded her privacy.

Last year, my wife and I hit a rough patch.

I got suspicious of her behavior and checked her cellphone.

I saw that she had exchanged multiple texts with this same guy.

Again, she claims nothing happened, the texts were innocent and I had no right to snoop.

My wife knows the pass-word to my email, and I never lock my cellphone.

All of my communication is an open book. Meanwhile, she now locks her phone and has multiple email accounts. I understand the need for a little privacy, but I don’t believe you should be hiding things in a committed rela-tionship. My wife is angry that I don’t trust her, and I’m having trouble dealing with this. Any advice? — Broken Up

Dear Broken: We don’t trust your wife, either. She promised not to contact this man again and then did so and hid it from you.

She locks her phone and has multiple email accounts to which you apparently do not have the passwords. Worse, to deflect blame, she accuses you of snooping.

There may not have been a sexual affair, but it definitely sounds like an emotional attachment.

Please go back to your counselor and ask your wife to come with you.

The two of you need a refresher course on how to make your marriage work and regain trust.

Dear Annie: I own a small casual restaurant in a small town.

People order at the coun-ter and then take their food to a table to eat.

In the past couple of years, I’ve noticed more people bringing in food from other establishments and eating at our place.

I don’t understand why people think it’s OK to take advantage of an eating estab-lishment like this.

Don’t they realize that the owner is paying for the inci-dental items they use, such as napkins?

Don’t they see that they are taking up space that could be used by people who are actually helping to pay the bills incurred by the res-taurant?

Am I looking at the situa-tion in the wrong way? — No Free Lunch

Dear No: We suspect most people have no clue that this is an inconvenience to you. There are some establish-ments that allow people to sit for extended lengths of time without ordering, but we know of none that encour-age you to bring your own food.

Most restaurants require a minimum order to justify the use of the space.

We suggest you implement this policy with a sign at each table and at the cash regis-ter. You may have to approach flouters with a bill, but word will get around.

Dear Annie: This is for “Tired,” who does all the cooking for the holiday meals and then gets stuck with the cleanup, too.

I have a good friend in the same situation. She is on good terms with all of her family members, but they never helped or knew what to do.

So she wrote up duties, put them on little pieces of paper and placed the pieces into a nice dish.

When each guest arrived, they picked out a paper and read their duty for that meal. They loved it, and she was not so worn out. — DLT

ARIES (March 21—April 19). You’re not afraid of working hard. You’ve done it before, and you know that it’s worse in your mind than it is in reality. Yes, the idea of hard work is scarier than the work itself.

TAURUS (April 20—May 20). It feels strange to be praised for something you did so long ago that you can hardly iden-tify with it anymore. And yet, you can’t expect everyone to be up-to-the-minute with your life, so you’ll gladly accept the good will.

GEMINI (May 21—June 21). The most important task of the day looms large in your mind, and yet there’s something you’d rather be doing. Well, who said it was the most important, anyway? If it wasn’t you, your resistance may be war-ranted.

CANCER (June 22—July 22). True, planning will be key to the final execution of your project. But too much planning is a danger, too, as the plan takes up so much energy that there’s little left to take action.

LEO (July 23—Aug. 22). Love is dis-tracting, especially if it’s new and unex-plored. Your heart, body and mind are eager for discovery. How far to take this and when to rein it in will be the main questions of the day.

VIRGO (Aug. 23—Sept. 22). You can work solo for hours and hours and never get lonely. In fact, you prefer to work alone now. A deep and abiding respect and love for yourself will carry you

through. LIBRA (Sept. 23—Oct. 23). The role

you play in a person’s life will be greatly amplified if that person happens to be a child. The young, inexperienced and impressionable need a positive example, and today you’re it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24—Nov. 21). The fear-lessness you show through your physical body is experienced in your emotional body as excitement and flow. You’ll make several decisions very quickly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22—Dec. 21). The job on the table is mysterious; it involves unknown elements and a different skill set from the one you currently possess. Don’t let that stop you, and don’t wait until you know what it’s about to get started.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22—Jan. 19). What’s the use of doing good work if nobody sees it? You don’t like to promote yourself, but now you’ll be doing the world a disservice if you don’t show peo-ple what you’ve been doing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20—Feb. 18). People only lie when they are afraid. There’s someone who isn’t being totally truthful with you. Think about what this person is afraid of. If you can address that fear and reduce it, you’ll get the truth.

PISCES (Feb. 19—March 20). Are the lines in the road rules or guidelines? Your opinion on this matter is reflected in the way you navigate the road of a relation-ship. Under what circumstances would you dare to cross the lines?

records. Conditions of their release include handing over their passports, elec-tronic monitoring and can-celling of all credit cards except one with a $10,000 maximum.

It was unclear Friday if Yan had been released. A lawyer for Yan didn’t imme-diately respond to messages seeking comment.

Zhang, who remained in custody Friday, hadn’t been able to make the $50,000 bond because a bank wouldn’t give his wife a sec-ond mortgage on their home in northeast Kansas, accord-ing to court documents.

In a motion filed Friday, Zhang’s public defender,

Thomas Bartee, said Zhang’s wife was turned down for the loan “due to concerns about Mr. Zhang’s creditworthiness.”

The motion, which asked the judge to modify the original order to allow Zhang to post bond with money from something other than a second mort-gage, said Zhang has other sources who can provide the $50,000 appearance bond, including a brother-in-law in China and a friend at Purdue Universi-ty.

Zhang and Yan, who have pleaded not guilty, each face up to 10 years in prison and fines up to $250,000 on each count.

They’re scheduled for a next appearance in federal court in Kansas City on Feb. 18.

“Basically, get away from the house and have some fun.” Fort Riley firefighters spent more than one hour learning about the vehicles and practicing extrication with a dummy.

“This is excellent,” said Capt. Michael Kendall, training officer, FES. “Our outreach to the community partners is something we strive to do, and we have great partners out there.”

Kendall said the department often conducts training with agencies on-post and beyond, including a recent training session with hazardous materials handlers.

Accidents with military vehicles are more common than he would like, Kendall said.

“It’s something we deal with quite a bit,” he said. “With all the troop movements we have, and how much op tempo we do here, it’s amazing that really more people aren’t hurt. The safety department really does a great job.”

Kendall said on-post firefighters deal with a unique set of obstacles.

“It keeps you working, and it keeps you thinking every time something like this happens,” he said.

“We did some military vehicle extrication training,” said Capt. Andre Ebaben, FES. “General one-on-one train-ing. Figured out how they’re configured, put together. How to dissemble them, get them apart if we need to per-form any extrication.”

Ebaben said this wasn’t new information to each fire-fighter.

“We went through it when they first started armoring up these humvees around five years ago,” he said, adding the training was a good refresher. “We have a lot of new guys who haven’t seen it before, so it’ll be new to them.”

DHHB soldiers were glad to have the opportunity to work with the post fire department.

“We’re very thankful for the fire department coming up here and giving us the opportunity,” Cummins said. “I just want to thank all of the people who have helped me get it set up.”

Crawford is a reminder to get those tax returns filed.

Many taxpayers will either prepare their own taxes or head to one of the more widely-known service providers to help them file. Yet for some who qualify, volunteers are ready to offer the same service for free.

Through the IRS Volun-teer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, tax prepa-ration is available at no cost to people who make $52,000 a year or less and need assistance in filing their tax returns.

In Junction City, volun-teers are set up at Junction City High School, 900 N. Eisenhower Drive, and the Junction City-Geary Coun-ty United Way office, 139 E. Eighth St.

While the high school’s services began last week, volunteers at the United Way office held their first appointments last night.

Ailleen Cray, Director of the Junction City-Geary County United Way, said people already had begun calling ahead to see if the service would be available this year.

“If they have had their taxes prepared this way

before, they’re very likely to do it again,” she said.

Appointments at the United Way office are avail-able Monday and Wednes-day evenings. Those inter-ested in the service can schedule themselves for one of the 13, 30-minute sessions held those days from 5 to 8 p.m. by calling (785) 238-2117.

Appointments at the high school also must be scheduled ahead of time by calling (785) 717-4265.

There’s no shortage of people who will take advan-tage of the service.

“We generally fill up our schedule,” Cray said of the United Way’s appoint-ments.

At both VITA locations, trained volunteers are on hand to help people file returns and be on the look-out for possible refunds.

“The preparers file elec-tronically,” Cray said. “It makes it very simple for people.”

Because VITA is designed to help with simple returns,

people with more compli-cated taxes probably should look at other tax service providers, Cray said.

“Not everyone would be able to use this service,”

she said. Although VITA is geared toward straightfor-ward returns, to make the process as quick as possi-ble, Cray said people should come in with everything

they need.“You need to come in

well-prepared,” she said. “Have your paperwork ready to go.” Cray’s other tip — call as soon as possi-

ble. “The sooner they call, the sooner we can get them scheduled,” she said. “And if they have a refund com-ing, then they can get their refund sooner.”

Eickholt reported the Kansas Attorney General has noted work-ers with permits are allowed to have a weapon in their personal vehicles.

“That was a development that wasn’t really surprising to us,” Commission Chair Larry Hicks said. “To know that some people will have weapons in their own personal vehicles while they carry out official duties is a little troubling.”

Commissioner Ben Bennett said he appreciates the protection aspect, but it’s a liability issue.

“If bystanders get shot and

killed, that’s a serious liability,” he said.

Eickholt also said they’ll be asking employees practicing con-ceal-and-carry for permit copies.

During the weekly press con-ference, Hicks said controversy also surrounds permit carriers entering restricted areas with weapons.

“The attorney general has not been very clear with respect to dealing with that matter,” he said. “The board of commissioners have some concerns about it. It’s going to be something we’ll con-tinue to study and look into. We don’t want to create potential sit-uations that can result in some-thing unexpected to take place.”

Wolf provides post-snow report

After last week’s winter storm dumped 10 inches of snow on Geary County, Wolf reported he was pleased the county invested

in four-wheel drive vehicles.He also noted problems were

minimal as a result of schools and offices being closed.

The department was able to respond to incidents in a quick matter, compared to previous storms.

As a result of the weather, one law enforcement official injured his ankle during a drug bust.

The ankle was broken in three places.

Bennett makes FHRC presentation

Bennett also presented an offi-cial certificate of membership for the Flint Hills Regional Council (FHRC).

It was officially approved and signed Jan. 31 at the regional

council meeting. Bennett said there are concerns

about future funding.The issue will be discussed at

an upcoming gathering for the organization.

The FHRC is an association of local governments in the Flint Hills.

Its purpose is to collaborate on services and projects to benefit the region.

The participating members of the organization include Chase, Clay, Dickinson, Geary, Lyon, Morris, Riley, Pottawatomie and Wabaunsee counties, and munici-palities and unincorporated areas within those counties.

Kansas coach Weis shuffles coaching

staffKansas coach Charlie Weis is

still tinkering with his coaching staff, moving Rob Ianello to director of research and adding the title of recruiting coordina-tor to running backs coach Reg-gie Mitchell.

Ianello had previously been in charge of the Jayhawks’ wide receivers, who struggled might-ily during a 3-9 season a year ago. Weis said Monday that he will handle wide receivers and Ianello will spend most of his time on recruiting.

The moves came after the Jayhawks wrapped up this year’s recruiting class last week, and after new offensive coordinator John Reagan had a chance to review the coaching staff.

Kansas begins spring practice March 4. The annual spring game is April 12.

Chicago State holds off UMKC 81-74

Quinton Pippen scored a career-high 28 points, including five 3-pointers, to lead Chicago State to an 81-74 win over Mis-souri-Kansas City on Saturday.

Chicago State (10-12, 5-3 Western Athletic Conference) took the lead midway through the first half on a Matt Ross dunk that made it 10-9 and never trailed again, though the Cougars had to quell a second-half UMKC rally to cement the win.

Pippen, nephew of NBA hall of famer Scottie Pippen, was 7 of 10 from the field and a per-fect 9 of 9 from the free throw line. Clarke Rosenberg contrib-uted 19 points, Nate Duhon added 11 and Eddie Denard 10.

UMKC (7-15, 4-5) rallied in the second half with a 19-4 run that tied the game at 52 on a Martez Harrison jumper but couldn’t capture the lead as the Cougars then pulled away.

Harrison led the Kangaroos with 27 points.

Lions announce hiring of Cooter

Jim Bob Cooter has been hired as quarterbacks coach for the Detroit Lions.

Detroit officially announced the move Monday. Cooter was an offensive assistant for the staff that led Denver to an AFC championship last season. He had previously worked for the Kansas City Chiefs and India-napolis Colts.

Detroit has been putting together a new staff under Jim Caldwell, who replaced fired coach Jim Schwartz.

With Cooter on the staff, the Broncos ranked first last season in total offensive yards per game (465.3), total touchdowns (76) and points per game (37.9). Cooter was on Caldwell’s staff in Indianapolis when the Colts reached the 2010 Super Bowl.

The White House is applaud-ing a University of Missouri foot-ball player’s decision to announce that he is gay, with President Barack Obama’s spokesman, first lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden all portraying him as a courageous and inspirational athlete.

Biden and the first lady took to Twitter on Monday to com-ment on Michael Sam, the all-American college player who declared publicly on Sunday that he is gay. Mrs. Obama says she “couldn’t be prouder” of Sam’s courage, both on and off the field.

Centennial League takedown

Junction City wrestling wins its second consecutive league titleEthan Padway

sports.beat@thedailyunion.net

MANHATTAN — For the second consecutive year, at the end of the day it was the Blue Jay wrestlers lifting the Centennial League tro-phy above their heads in triumph.

“It feels real good,” Junction City coach Bob Laster said. “It says a lot about my team, with all the adver-sity we had to go through, even in this tournament. I’m confident with how guys stepped up. I like this team’s work ethic and their desire to be the best.”

For most of the year, Junction City has dealt with injuries to key players.

Once again, Laster had to make an adjustment after he lost his 160-pound wrestler for the season.

But a crop of underclassmen,

including three freshmen who qualified for the championship of their divisions, stepped up to help retain the trophies.

Gary Joint (113 pounds) and Kayne Hutchinson (220 pounds) won their divisions and Aryus Jones took second in the 145-pound division.

“I was really impressed with was Kayne Hutchins, only a ninth grad-er, went through the whole field where it was all pins,” Laster said. “I was really pleased with the way the guys in the finals wrestled.”

Junction City sent 10 wrestlers to either the consolation or champi-onship finals, including seven on the front side of the bracket.

Six of those wrestlers, Joint, Jake Bazan (138 pounds), Andrew Millsap (152 pounds), Micah Felton (170 pounds), Devonte Wilson (182

pounds) and Hutchinson, won their divisions as Junction City won handily with 196.5 points. Manhat-tan was the closest with 179.5 points.

In his first-ever league tourna-ment, Joint impressed in his first two matches before edging Sea-man’s Khamin Crow 6-4 in the final.

Joint recently moved up from the 106-pound division but said he didn’t notice too much of a differ-ence in the competition.

“I was calm because if you get intimidated, that’s when you lock yourself down to only using a few moves,” he said. “You’ve got to open up and use what you’ve learned, that’s how you win matches.”

For some, it was a chance at redemption.

Last year, Felton and Bazan each

fell short of winning their divi-sions.

Bazan was facing a familiar oppo-nent in Emporia’s Max Detwiler, who he dispatched for the second time.

“I’ve wrestled that kid before and I pinned him in a headlock,” Bazan said. “So I knew I couldn’t throw another headlock because he’s going to look for it so I knew I had to work my leg attack. So first 20 seconds, I hit my leg attack, got two and from there I controlled the rest of the match.”

Felton left no room for chance in his matches.

He won his first two matches by pin before taking the title with a 14-0 major decision.

“I went out there and I attacked,” Felton said. “I attacked and I kept

Jays set to face Topeka Seaman for third time

sports.beat@thedailyunion.net

The Junction City boys basketball team was scheduled to meet Topeka Seaman twice this season.

The Blue Jays won the first meeting 57-51 to finish December on a high note.

An unplanned meeting in the Janu-ary Jam tournament in Valley Center added an extra matchup to the sched-ule.

Seaman leveled the season series with a 65-62 overtime win.

The Blue Jays (4-10) have a chance to win the season series when they host the Vikings tonight.

Junction City coach Pat Battle said the familiarity between the teams is both good and bad.

K-State knocks off Jayhawks, 85-82

By Ethan Padway

sports.beat@thedailyunion.net

MANHATTAN — Kansas State freshman Wesley Iwundu was first.

For a moment Monday night, he stood alone on the scorer’s table, flashing the K-State written across his chest to the stream of students and fans standing below on the court.

Quickly, his teammates joined him overlooking the festivi-ties.

After seeing No. 7 Kansas scramble to tie the game 69-69 at the end of regulation, senior Will Spradling hit a 3-point shot on the Wildcats’ first possession of overtime to give his team a 72-71 lead.

Kansas State (17-7, 7-4 in the Big 12) never relinquished the lead, earning a 85-82 win, the Wildcats’ first over Kansas (18-6, 9-2) since 2011.

“It’s something that I grew up thinking about,” Spradling said after the game. “Obviously playing in the game makes it more important and more fun. Everyone gets excited about it, the fans the family. It’s fun.”

It started with hustle.

After a rebound on the defensive end was knocked off junior Thomas Gipson and headed out of bounds, Spradling lept over the row of cameramen sitting along the baseline to save the ball, keeping possession with the home team.

Spradling finished with 15 points.

K-State head coach Bruce Weber said Spradling’s per-formance should help cement his legacy at the school.

“He does so many little things nobody appreciates,” Weber said. “Like the other day Marcus got 34, on the plus-minus chart, Will was plus 30, Marcus was plus 19.”

With a 68-59 lead and less than two minutes remain-ing, K-State seemed to have

finally wrapped up the elu-sive win against their rival.

But when Kansas’ Andrew Wiggins closed the gap to seven, 68-61, the sense of doubt that sur-rounds a team when they’ve lost 48 of 51 to an opponent began to creep in.

chased down a long inbounds pass down the court. But instead of cir-cling back to kill some clock, he attempted a con-tested layup.

It didn’t fall.Kansas raced back up the

court, where Brennan Greene put it in.

Then, Greene stole the pass and scored again.

The walls were caving.“I thought Brennan did

some good things,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “But we shot 3-17 and especially on the road you have to make free throws.”

Kansas State would only score one more point as the Jayhawks sent the game to overtime.

For a moment, it look like it would make it to the extra period.

The whistle blew shortly after Wiggins’ half-court heave went awry. And 0.01 second remained on the clock.

But the officials waved it off and the teams played an extra five minutes.

In overtime, Kansas won the tip and senior Tarik Black, who saw extensive action with heralded fresh-man Joel Embiid hampered by injury, put it in to give Kansas a lead.

Then K-State freshman Marcus Foster, who led the Wildcats with 20 points, including four big 3-point-ers, did a little thing of his own to open up Spradling.

He charged the lane, forc-ing the Jayhawks to col-lapse, and waited until the last moment to dish it out-side to Spradling.

“I thought Foster made a great play to Sprading for the 3,” Self said. “He put his shoulder down and didn’t give his tell.”

For Spradling, it was the cap to a resurgence he’s experienced the second half of the season.

He traces it back to a phone call he had with his father before the Iowa State game. His father asked him what he wanted his legacy at K-State to be.

That’s when he decided to be more aggressive.

But the Wildcats aren’t satisfied capping their sea-son with this win.

They want more, with their second road win when the team heads to Baylor Saturday.

“This has to be a step-ping stone, not to where we’re going back down,” Weber said.

attacking. I went out with the mindset that I was going to win this match and nobody is going to beat me.”

Jones placed second and Gabe Padilla (120 pounds), Gavin Kroeger (132 pounds) and Kamari Smith (160 pounds) took third.

Jones entered the meet unranked but scored valuable points for Junction City by making it to the finals.

But winning the Centennial League is just the first step for the Blue Jays on their way to a bigger goal.

Junction City has a week off before head-ing to Washburn Rural for the regional meet.

“(We need to) keep working, keep sawing wood, keep getting after it in the wrestling room,” Millsap said. “We’ve got a bye week next weekend so we’ve got two weeks to get ready with practices and then it’s go time man.”

The celebration didn’t last long.But winning helped set the foundation

for the postseason.“I feel really confident because I know

how hard I’ve been working since I started wrestling,” Joint said. “And it’s all just been leading up to this moment for high school. Freshman year, you just want to get it out of the way and be successful, my goal at the end of the year is to be Junction City’s first freshman state champion.”

No. 11 Iowa State falls at West Virginia, 102-77By JOHN RABy

AP Sports Writer

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Remi Dibo scored a career-high 20 points to lead West Virginia to a 102-77 victory over No. 11 Iowa State on Monday night, the Cyclones’ most lopsided loss of the season.

Juwan Staten added 19 points and Eron Harris and Terry Henderson each had 16 points for the Mountain-eers (15-10, 7-5 Big 12).

Iowa State (18-5, 6-5) had

five players in double fig-ures, led by Georges Niang’s 17 points. But Melvin Ejim, coming off a Big 12-record 48 points and a career-high 18 rebounds against TCU, was held to six points on 1-of-9 shooting.

The Cyclones fell behind by double digits midway through the first half and trailed by as many as 32 points late in the game.

West Virginia hit a sea-son-high for points and improved to 2-1 amid a stretch of four straight games against ranked oppo-

nents heading into a match-up Saturday at No. 19 Texas.

West Virginia shot 54 per-cent (35 of 65) from the field, including 13 of 22 from 3-point range.

Iowa State’s outside scor-ing was virtually nonexis-tent until it was too late. The Cyclones were held to 37 percent shooting (26 of 71) in losing their fourth road conference game.

Dustin Hogue added 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Cyclones while Dean-dre Kane had 14 points,

Matt Thomas 13 and Monte Morris 10.

Kane, a Pittsburgh native, had more than 50 relatives and friends in attendance. He went 1-2 against the Mountaineers while he played at instate rival Marshall and was booed and taunted when-ever he touched the ball.

that there’s familiarity with the things that we do that makes it easier for us to get ready,” he said. “I think on the negative side, you can fall into the sense of famil-iarity and they can bite you if you’re not alert.”

The game presents an opportunity for Junction City to get back on the win-ning track.

Junction City is in the midst of a 7-game slide.

“We’ve got to play more physically,” Battle said. “We’ve got to get to the free throw line and on the other hand we’ve got to stop foul-ing. We need to stop being overly aggressive 48 feet from the basket and fouling kids. Those things add up to put people in the bonus sit-uation. I really think we need to be more aggressive at passing it to our big guys inside or our guards getting to the rim.”

In the second meeting, Seaman outshot the Blue Jays 39-12 from the free throw line.

At the start of the season, the third quarter was a strong point for Junction City.

Lately, things have

changed, as the Blue Jays have struggled after the intermission.

But the Blue Jays aren’t going to switch up their routine too much.

“There’s not a Knute Rockne speech I can deliver at halftime that would switch up our third quarter,” he said. “And if there is, I wish someone would send it to me.”

Battle also said his team’s fundamental strategy and philosophy will stay the same.

However, he said there will be changes to the team’s lineup.

Junction City had back-to-back games Fri-day and Saturday, limit-ing prep time for the game.

But the Blue Jays are well aware of their oppo-nent.

Battle said while he’d always like more prep time, it shouldn’t drasti-cally affect his team’s performance.

“I think the big focus is being enthusiastic for the full 32 minutes and being able to handle the valleys that the game has,” he said. “And those valleys can’t be as low as they’ve been. We can’t have stretches where

Royals’ Holland mum on con-

tract discussionsBy Dave Skretta

Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Royals pitchers and catchers report to Arizona for the start of spring training on Fri-day, and that presumably means All-Star closer Greg Holland will be there.

Of course, there’s a little business that still needs to be finished.

Holland is eligible for arbitration and the two sides have yet to reach an agreement. He asked for $5.2 mil-lion after going 2-1 with a 1.21 ERA and 47 saves, while the Royals offered $4.1 million. Either way, it’s a big bump from the $539,000 he made last season.

The Royals would not disclose when his arbitration hearing will take place. Hearings run through Feb. 21.

“Every negotiation is different,” said general manag-er Dayton Moore, who has never gone to arbitration with a player since joining the Royals in 2006. “It’s a reflection of a player, what they’ve accomplished at that stage of their career, what kind of leverage they have.”

The last Royals player to go to arbitration was out-fielder Emil Brown, who won his case in 2006, before Moore was hired. In 2005, pitcher Jeremy Affeldt lost his case with Kansas City.

“We don’t mind going to a hearing. We haven’t experi-enced that since we’ve been here together, but it’s not by design,” Moore said. “Getting a deal done prior to a hearing is going to be more challenging for us going forward as long as we have players excelling and doing well.”

The Royals had little trouble reaching deals with their other arbitration-eligible players: outfielder Justin Max-well, first baseman Eric Hosmer, catcher Brett Hayes and relief pitchers Tim Collins, Luke Hochevar and Aaron Crow. They also agreed to a deal with Emilio Bonifacio, who was designated for assignment when the club re-signed veteran pitcher Bruce Chen. The club requested unconditional release waivers on Bonifacio on Monday.

Moore has already signed several of what he consid-ers the cornerstones of the Royals’ future to long-term deals. Holland said he’d be open to such a contract, but he’d rather stay out of the negotiations.

“I think everybody in our clubhouse would like a long-term contract,” he said. “Being here in Kansas City, I love the town. I love the fans. I’d really take a lot of pride in being here when we took the next step, making the playoffs and eventually winning a championship.

“But it’s a business,” Holland added, “and you never know. You just stay in the moment, prepare, throw every pitch like it may be your last one. And the fact of the matter is people move around, especially nowadays. It’s hard to stay in the same place for a long time.”

While it’s just as rare to find a shut-down closer, they tend to come with risk. Most of them are hard-throwing — Holland certainly qualifies — and prone to injury, something he has yet to experience. The Royals went down that road with Joakim Soria, whom they wound up paying $6 million in 2012 for doing nothing — the two-time All-Star was recovering from Tommy John sur-gery.

Kansas City wound up declining Soria’s options and he now pitches for the Texas Rangers.

As for discussions of a long-term deal, “I’m letting my agents take care of that,” Holland said. “Would every-one in that room like to be here for their whole career? Yeah, but it’s probably not going to happen.”

And this season? Well, the Royals and Holland will get together on a number eventually. Otherwise, an arbi-trator will be on hand to help them out.
