The felony theft case against former Junction City-Geary County Animal Shelter Director Lisa Junghans was dismissed last week in Geary County District Court.

However, the case was dismissed without prejudice, leaving open the possibility of another case being filed against Junghans should prosecutors choose to do so.

Junghans was accused of stealing $40,000 from the shelter where she worked since 2006. She resigned with-out explanation on July 9.

Court records show an order of dis-missal was submitted Dec. 23 and filed Jan. 7. The document stated the case would be dismissed upon motion of the prosecution.

“We just needed to conduct some further investigation,” Geary County Deputy Attorney John Taylor said Tuesday.

Kirsty Waller really loves animals. It’s the reason she bravely jumped out of an airplane on Memorial

Day. The skydiving activity is something she always

wanted to do, but moments leading up to the jump were not easy.

“When you see these people jumping out of a per-fectly good plane, it clogs your brain,” Waller said with a smile.

The purpose of Waller’s trip through the sky was to raise money for the animal shelter in Colonial Heights, Va. That activity raised a few hundred dollars.

“Even if one person had given five bucks, I still would have felt obliged to jump out of the plane,” Waller said.

It’s something the new assistant director of the Junction City-Geary County Animal Shelter wants to do again with Director Jennifer Gfeller.

So far, she is enjoying her time at the shelter. Waller said she shares the same philosophy of Gfell-

er about the purpose of the shelter.“It’s not just a city pound to take in strays,” Waller

said. “We actually want to get these animals out to other homes.”

Waller said every animal that comes to the shelter already has been put through the wringer.

“They’re either being picked up as strays or being neglected and abused,” Waller said.

They also work to find homes for animals who once

had a home. “Some of the owner surrenders are in the shelter

with the other barking dogs and they’re thinking ‘what did I do to deserve this,’” she said. “We kind of understand both sides of the coin.”

The shelter is working on modifying the application review process to make sure the personalities of the pets and owners match.

Other future plans are to improve relations with the Junction City community and find programs to bene-fit the shelter.

The shelter recently received an extra microchip scanner from a company specializing in the scanning process.

Waller has a background in animal behavior, a sub-ject she taught at Michigan State. It’s one of the rea-sons the Scotland native came to the United States.

She attended the University of Edinburgh in Scot-land and earned a degree in zoology, with a focus on animal behavior. She later earned her Ph.D in animal science with an emphasis on behavior and welfare from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom.

Her husband, Command Sgt. Maj. Mike Waller, was recently transferred to Fort Riley. Their family con-sists of three rescued animals.

The Australian cattle dog is her favorite breed, but she enjoys all types of dogs that come to the shelter.

“You can’t help falling in love with the dogs that come through here because they all have different per-sonalities,” Waller said.

MILFORD — A new policy is becom-ing a drag for long-term campers at Milford Lake.

One of those residents feeling the pinch of a policy from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is Teres-ita Mondick. The Army wife and mother is one of many RV campers at Acorns Resort who are packing up and moving away.

“It’s so unexpected that I’m actually thinking about relocating to Tennes-see while my husband is gone,” Mondick said.

The USACE is requiring the majori-ty of sites must stay empty for the winter months. USACE officials believe that camping sites should be used for recreation and not for home-stead purposes. Because of this, sev-eral residents are forced to find a new place to stay.

In previous years, state and local officials discussed their concerns about the policy, but it’s getting closer to the tipping point. Although her rent is paid through the end of the month, Mondick said she’ll have to leave before Jan. 31.

“Why not start it next year so we can be better prepared to make arrangements?” Mondick questioned.

Mondick is currently searching for another local site to call home, but enjoys the family-friendly atmosphere of Acorns Resort. She said it’s the ideal location for her children because of security.

Her husband, Master Sgt. Jeremy Mondick, currently is deployed in Afghanistan and works as a Black Hawk helicopter mechanic. Together, they have three children.

If push comes to shove, Mondick will have to relocate to Tennessee and pull her three children out of the Geary County School District.

An Evening with Bernadette Peters

MANHATTAN — A new endowment established by Dale C. Olson and his wife Marceline Dandurand Olson, who died in 2012, will provide scholarships for around 32 students in Kansas State University’s College of Engineering.

Each recipient of the Dale C. and Marceline L. Dandurand Olson Engi-neering Scholarship will receive about $5,000. The scholarships will have an emphasis on helping mechanical engineering students and students from Saline County, where the Olsons both attended high school.

Following Marceline Olson’s death, Dale Olson, Midland, Texas, continued working with staff at the Kansas State University Foundation to finalize the endowment provided ear-lier in the couple’s indi-vidual wills. He used a combination of current gifts, estate planning and matching funds from Cono-coPhillips, where he retired

in 1988 as one of four senior engineering professionals. The Olsons contributed a majority of their estate — an undisclosed public amount — to higher educa-tion, divided between Kan-sas State University and Kansas Wesleyan Univer-sity, Salina.

The Olsons were both raised in the Salina area, and Dale Olson graduated from Kansas State Univer-sity in 1951 with a bache-lor’s degree in mechanical engineering with a petro-leum option. Following graduation, Olson’s nearly 50-year career in the engi-neering field took the cou-ple around the United States, Canada and the world. He credits much of his financial success to support from Marceline, his wife of 61 years.

Olson is a member of Pi Tau Sigma and Sigma Tau engineering honor societ-ies. He also is a member of the KSU Foundation’s President’s Club, a philan-thropic leadership organi-

zation for friends and alumni of the university, and the Land Grant Lega-cy Society, an organization for those who have includ-ed the university in their estate plans.

Raised during the Great Depression, Olson earned his degree with tuition assistance through the GI Bill after serving with the U.S. Naval Reserve during World War II. Now Olson hopes to extend similar help to those who need it.

The Olsons placed high value on education, and always felt compelled to help make college a reality for students with financial need.

“A college degree might not make you smarter than anybody else but it gets your foot in the door,” Olson said. “Then it’s going to depend on ability to a degree, but it’s a shame if people have the ability but can’t get their foot in the door because they don’t have a degree. Maybe this will help.”

Former residents’ endowment aims to make difference

MANHATTAN — M.M. Chengappa has been named the 2013 Distinguished Veteri-nary Microbiologist of the Year by the American College of Veterinary Microbi-ologists. He is a university distinguished professor and head of the diagnostic medi-cine and pathobiology department in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State University.

“It’s a great honor to be recognized with such a prestigious award, being the only award of this kind given to an individual in the U.S. and Canada,” Chengappa said. “I’m honored and humbled by this recog-nition, and I’m quite thankful to the orga-nization for recognizing me. I’m also thankful to the College of Veterinary Med-icine at Kansas State and to Dean Ralph Richardson for giving me the opportunity to lead and work with a fine group of peo-ple in the college. I’m also thankful to Dr. T.G. Nagaraja for nominating me for this award.”

“We’re very proud of Dr. Chengappa in being recognized with this national award,” Richardson said. “While he has been an excellent administrator for our college, it’s easy to overlook the fact that he is a prominent international scientist who has made immeasurable contribu-tions to the field of veterinary microbiol-ogy.”

Chengappa is a diplomate to the Ameri-can College of Veterinary Microbiolo-gists.

“Distinguished Veterinary Microbiolo-

gist is the highest recognition accorded to an individual by the American College of Veterinary Microbiologists,” said Nagara-ja, university distinguished professor of microbiology in the diagnostic medicine and pathobiology department. “I nomi-nated Dr. Chengappa for this prestigious award not just because he has had a dis-tinguished career and has made signifi-cant contributions in all aspects of veteri-nary microbiology-research, teaching and diagnostic services, but more importantly, because of the profound impact he has had in the academic careers and lives of a number of veterinary students, graduate students and faculty in the department.”

Chengappa’s primary research interests are studying and understanding the patho-genesis of important infectious diseases of animals, and developing strategies to protect animals from these diseases

Identification, molecular characteriza-tion and functional analysis of antigens/toxins of Streptococcus suis, Mannheimia haemolytica and Fusobacterium necro-phorum are his primary research focus-es.

He also coordinates and teaches a course in veterinary microbiology for sophomore veterinary students.

Chengappa received his Doctor of Vet-erinary Medicine and Master of Veteri-nary Science at Mysore Veterinary Col-lege in Bangalore, India. He received his master of science and his doctorate from Michigan State University.

Bob and Gloria Gox, both Geary County residents, will be honored for their work in creating a wild-life-friendly habitat by the Geary County Conservation District Jan. 23 during the district’s annual meeting.

After retiring from the Army, Bob and Gloria chose to settle in Manhattan. They bought a home in town, but Bob was always look-ing for a little slice of county heav-en to call his own. After a few years of searching, they came across 100 acres of land on Clarks

Creek Road in Geary County. That land contained a pasture

overgrown with eastern red cedar trees, a decrepit pole barn and many foreign plants. Bob saw the future in this place; Gloria saw an overgrown mess.

It took a little convincing, but they purchased the property in August of 2009.

Working closely with Clint Thornton, wildlife biologist for Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism, Bob set out to restore the pasture and convert

other parts of the property to a wildlife habitat. Bob applied for the USDA Wildlife Habitat Incen-tives Program (WHIP), which offers technical and financial assistance to protect, restore, develop and enhance fish and wild-life habitat.

It was a five-year contract, but as a result of Bob’s enthusiasm, it only took two years to complete the work.

Many hours were devoted to brush clearing and burning in the pasture. Other wildlife-friendly

practices completed on the farm include converting a brome field to native warm season grass and forbs, planting pollinator habitat, planting food plots, and planting shrubs.

Through hard work and dedica-tion, Bob and Gloria were able to create a place for wildlife to enjoy and share with others.

Family members who helped included Chantal, Michelle and son-in-law Trevor, and their dog, Bentley.

WASHINGTON — Legis-lation has been approved by the U.S. Senate that, if approved by the U.S. House of Representatives and signed by the president, would rename the Junc-tion City Community-Based Outpatient Clinic after Junction City native Lt. Gen. Richard J. Seitz.

The Senate approved the bill Tuesday by unanimous consent without amend-

ment, and will now go to the U.S. House of Repre-sentatives for a vote.

No timetable was imme-diately available for when the House of Representa-tives would consider the bill.

The bill was introduced in August of 2013 by Sen. Jerry Moran and Sen. Pat Roberts and would rename the Junction City CBOC as the Lt. Gen. Richard J.

Seitz Community-Based Outpatient Clinic.

Seitz was a World War II veteran and served nearly 37 years in active duty.

His decorations include the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars and the Purple Heart; the Gen. Richard J. Seitz Elementary School at Fort Riley was named in his honor in 2012. Seitz passed away in 2013 at the age of 95.

A Junction City man was sentenced Monday to 57 months in prison in a sex trafficking case involving a then-17-year-old woman that dates back to last spring.

Court records show Paul Goodman III, of Junction City, was sen-tenced after having signed a plea agreement in September.

Goodman agreed to plead “no contest” to three counts of sexual exploitation of a child.

During a preliminary hearing in August, it was revealed the victim had run away from her Junction City home and

met Goodman a few days later. The victim testified that Goodman and Trisha Smith, a co-defendant in the case who was living with Goodman at the time, hooked her into prostitution.

The offenses in the case happened from April to May, according to court records.

A criminal complaint states the sexual exploi-tation charges stem from Goodman’s possession of

sexually-explicit images of the victim.

Upon his release from prison, Goodman will face lifetime post-release supervision.

In November, Smith agreed to plead no con-test to one count of sexu-al exploitation of a child, for which she’ll serve three years of proba-tion.

A sentencing hearing for Smith is scheduled for Feb. 28.

Gary HankinsJuly 20, 1951 — Jan. 10, 2014

LaMoyne RiffelJune 4, 1921 — Jan. 13, 2014

Gary L. Hankins, 62, of Junction City, passed away on Jan. 10, 2014 at Mercy Health Center in Manhattan. Visita-tion will be held Jan. 16 from 5-7 p.m. at Penwell-Gabel Johnson Chapel, 203 N. Washington St.

Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Jan. 17 at the Johnson Chapel, Junction City.

Gary was born July 20, 1951, to parents Fred Sr. and Bev-erly (Lambert) Hankins at Fort Riley.

Gary was an avid fan of motorcycles and corvettes, and was a member of the Harley Owner’s Group. He worked for several area car dealerships over the years, including McKenna’s, Brigg’s, and City Cycle Sales. Most recently, he was employed at Kansas State University as a custodial specialist.

He leaves behind to cherish his memory his mother, Bev-erly Hankins of Junction City; a brother, Fred Hankins of Manhattan; and an uncle, Michael Lambert of Jackson, Miss. He also leaves behind a host of cousins, other rela-tives, friends and loved ones.

In lieu of flowers, the family would like to encourage friends and loved ones to make a donation in Gary’s mem-ory to one of the following organizations: The American Kidney Fund, The American Cancer Association, or Friends of Animals of Geary County.

LaMoyne A. Riffel, 92, of Manhattan, passed away Jan. 13, 2014 at the Good Shepherd Hospice House.

She was born June 4, 1921 at White City, the daughter of William G. Frohn and Julia A. Kniebel. She grew up on a farm west of White City and attended District No. 10 Baxter School, St. John’s Lutheran Parochial School and graduated from Woodbine High School in 1939.

She was united in marriage to Emery J. Riffel on Nov. 15, 1942. Emery served in the U.S. Army for 20 years; they lived in several different states and in Germany.

They moved to Manhattan in 1958 and she worked for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, retiring after 21 years.

She was an active member of the St. Luke’s Lutheran Church and taught Sunday school.

Other activities included PTA, Den Mother for Brown-ies, Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts; she valued her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, her family heritage and her friendships.

She supported the Kansas State University Alumni Association, the KSU Foundation and the American Legion Auxiliary.

She enjoyed 5 o’clock, traveling, K-State basketball

and football games.Preceding her in death was her husband, Emery; her

daughter, Jalaine A. White and companion, Merle Miller. Survivors include a son, Gwyn E. Riffel and his wife Gina of Manhattan; a daughter, Lynne J. Lundberg and her husband, Jim of Manhattan; grandchildren, Heather (Rob) Rogers, Jeff (Lindsay) White, Jami (Chris) Cole, Tara (Justin) Shelton, Brannan (Jill) Riffel, Alanna (Josh) Vinyard, Drew (Tessie) Riffel, Brent (Elizabeth Hicks) Riffel, Chloe Riffel and Megan (Shane) Lamb; 17 great-grandchildren; and companion, Leland Moshier.

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Jan. 17 at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, 330 Sunset Ave. in Manhattan, with Pastor Michael J. Schmidt officiating.

The family will receive relatives and friends from 6-7 p.m. Jan. 16 at Irvin-Parkview Funeral Home.

NEWS TO KNOW

Headlines from around the worldMexico faces

vigilante monster it created

APATZINGAN, Mexico — Vigilantes who have chal-lenged the government’s authority in lawless Micho-acan state held onto their guns on Wednesday as fed-eral authorities struggled to rein in a monster they helped create: citizen mili-tias that rose among farm-ers and lime-pickers to fight a drug cartel.

Interior Minister Miguel Angel Osorio Chong called Monday for the vigilantes to drop their arms and go home. But a new agreement with the so-called self-defense groups left them holding onto their territory and their guns, including high-caliber assault rifles that can only be used by the military under Mexican law.

The fact they had the weapons at all grew from toleration, perhaps even encouragement, of a move-ment that spread across Michoacan’s Tierra Cali-ente in recent months.

Citizens have challenged the dominance of a pseudo-religious drug cartel that officials themselves have been unable to uproot.

“What they created was a Frankenstein that got out of control,” said Erubiel Tirado, a specialist in civil-military relations at the Iberoamerican University. He called it a schizophrenic strategy that allows civil-ians to do the government’s “dirty work.”

The government sent in its forces, vowing Monday to reassert order, after vio-lent days of repeated clash-es between the Knights Templar cartel and vigilan-tes who were advancing, town by town, on the car-

tel’s stronghold in the farm-ing hub of Apatzingan.

But many residents sim-ply shrugged at the show of force. They’ve seen federal forces come and go since the previous administra-tion launched a war on car-tels in Michoacan in 2006 that failed to uproot the drug cartels.

Nor does the government of President Enrique Pena Nieto want to repeat the full-on attack strategy of his predecessor Felipe Cal-deron, which that only got bloodier and less popular as time went on.

With no clear rules gov-erning the use of the mili-tary in civilian law enforce-ment, soldiers have been slow to respond as the car-tel has gone about its busi-ness in Michoacan, includ-ing taking over some min-

ing exports to China, forc-ing civilians to demonstrate against police and extort-ing payments on a wide range of activities.

Authorities have arrested few senior leaders of the Knights Templar over the past year even as the cartel has come increasingly under attack by vigilantes, who are often accompanied by local residents who point out the thugs who have extorted money, stolen homes and cars, or kid-napped relatives. They kill without qualms and take enemies into improvised jails.

The number of deaths in the yearlong vigilante-car-tel conflict is unclear, but the state’s homicide count has roughly doubled to more than 100 a month since September compared

to earlier in the year.Cartel gunmen usually

flee before the vigilantes arrive in towns, burning vehicles to cover their escape. And in each new town the vigilantes take over, they are greeted by dozens of eager young men who want to join the move-ment and “liberate” more towns.

The Knights Templar apparently tried to reassert its authority Wednesday following the federal show of force by ordering all businesses to close, burn-ing a downtown pharmacy that didn’t comply just blocks from where federal police had paraded in an impressive display of force the day before.

While the vigilantes have the support of locals for

now, many warn that they could simply replace the cartel as a new outlaw authority.

The Knights Templar itself emerged from local people fighting outside drug gangs.

It initially told citizens it wouldn’t bother them and would only focus on drug trafficking. But it soon veered into widespread extortion.

State and federal govern-ment authorities have said that some self-defense groups have been infiltrat-ed by the rival New Genera-tion cartel from neighbor-ing Jalisco state, which is warring with the Knights Templar. The vigilante leaders vehemently deny this.

They say they finance

their battle with money that citizens formerly paid in extortion to the cartel, money given voluntarily — at least for now.

Vigilante leaders also say wealthy landowners in the rich farm country, a major producer of limes, avoca-dos and mangos, have been financing their cause.

Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam told local media Tuesday that the Mexican government is investigating the vigilantes’ financing. “Formal author-ity has made itself felt, and that is the main aim of all of this operation.”

But few believe that order has been restored, or will be anytime soon.

“They made a big error that we’re all going to pay for,” Salvador Vega, an opposition senator from Apatzingan, said of the fed-eral government. “They thought they could leave things alone and it would take care of itself, that these groups would keep fighting until they killed each other.”

Official: Politics behind deadly

Nigeria bombingMAIDUGURI, Nigeria —

A former state governor says a car bomb that killed at least 43 people in a north-east Nigerian city is the work of political opponents and not Islamic militants.

Nigeria’s military blamed Tuesday’s blast in Maidug-uri city on Muslim extrem-ists.

A mortuary official said Wednesday that 43 corpses were brought to the hospi-tal, many burnt beyond rec-ognition in the blast in a busy commercial center on a Muslim holiday.

Our viewTime to deal with

registration feeThe Kansas Legislature is back in session, and

one of the issues it faces is a move to elimi-nate the mortgage registration fee.

The move to end the fee, which is based on the amount of the mortgage, is backed by two of the state’s most powerful business groups — bankers and realtors. They argue, correctly, that the filing fee means that people who purchase a high-end house pay a much higher fee than someone who buys a more modest home — even though it costs the same amount of money to file the paperwork in the courthouse.

The mortgage registration fee is 26 cents for every $100 borrowed. Each county where the mort-gage is registered keeps all but a penny of that fee, with one cent going to the Heritage Trust Fund, which provides matching grants to preserve his-toric structures.

Geary County commissioners this week approved a resolution joining the Kansas Association of Counties in opposing the move to abolish the mort-gage registration fees. Commissioner Florence Whitebread said that doing so locally would force the county to raise property taxes by 2 mils to replace the lost revenue, which brought in more than a half-million dollars in 2012. Statewide approximately $47 million would vanish and likely have to be replaced by local taxes if the fee is elimi-nated.

Eliminating the fee simply shifts the tax burden from being a one-time fee only paid when someone buys a house — an event that does not occur that often. That depends on how often someone is trans-ferred, or decides to buy a larger house, or down-sizes. Regardless, most people stay in their homes at least several years if not longer.

If the fee is replaced with an increase in property taxes, all property owners will pay that every year. That hardly seems like an improvement.

Folks buying a house are highly unlikely to be slowed down by the prospect of paying a one-time fee that averages $300 in this county, according to the registrar of deeds — especially if it is replaced with a continuing 2-mil increase in property taxes.

We urge legislators to oppose the elimination of the mortgage registration fee. Governments have to get money from somewhere, and a one-time fee sure beats a near-certain hike in property taxes.

Do organically produced foods have higher nutritional value?

According to international, national and regional research studies the nutritional value of organic crops compared to conventional crops reveals little if any differences.

Colorado State University (CSU) researchers compared vitamin content of organically and conventionally grown vegetables (carrots and brocco-li). They found no statistically signifi-cant differences.

Other research from CSU focused on growing potatoes using four different farming techniques under the same growing conditions: an intensive high-chemical system; a moderate conven-tional system; customary organic farm-ing and virgin organic production. Nine minerals and seven vitamins were analyzed and no clear differences were discovered.

Another U.S. study found more solu-ble iron in conventionally grown spin-ach but the proportion of the soluble iron available to consumer’s system was somewhat higher for both spinach and peppers grown with compost and manure.

In overseas studies, Norwegian

research found conventionally grown carrots contained more beta-carotene, more magnesium and more manga-nese. The organic carrots had more aluminum. When carrots of the same variety were compared, the only differ-ence was a higher level of carotenoids in the conventionally grown carrots.

A German study discovered lower levels of nitrate in carrots, beets and potatoes grown with manure but the differences were minute under good storage conditions. Stressful storage conditions enhanced the difference.

Consumers can conclude from such findings that people who do not buy organically grown fruits and vegeta-bles can find equally good products with equal nutrition at supermarkets and roadside stands. It also means peo-ple who wish to eat organically grown fruits and vegetables should do so.

Bottom line — differing farming sys-tems produce virtually no difference in the nutritional value of the crops. The variety, or strain, of the carrots and potatoes grown appears to have a big-ger impact on their nutrient value than organic production methods.

It’s no secret, plant breeders have long advocated that fruits, vegetables and grains require three main nutri-ents — nitrogen, phosphate potash and trace minerals in varying amounts according to the plant species. If a

plant is sorely lacking in one of these nutrients, it will not grow. If it has access to these nutrients, it will grow into the crop its heredity determines and will pass along the nutrients its heredity intends.

Translation — for a healthy diet eat plenty of fruit and vegetables each day, regardless of how they were grown. Doing so will probably mean a person eats more fiber and that is healthy. It also means less room for fatty foods that are one of the major contributions to poor health.

Eating five fruits and vegetables per day reduces our risk for heart disease and cancer. Researchers tell us this health-enhancing effect is derived from the high levels of antioxidant chemi-cals in the fruits and vegetables.

So much of this research on conven-tional versus organically grown food has demonstrated little nutritional dif-ferences. In our society consumers have a choice. It is an individual deci-sion.

The choice is yours.

Letters to the EditorAmericans need

to wake upTo the Editor:

We are getting closer and closer to becoming a socialist country and most Americans do not even

realize it. The more the government gives to people the more they do not want to do anything for themselves.

As the saying goes, give a man a fish and he will be dependent on you forever, teach a man to fish and they will provide for themselves.

Do we want to become a nation of gov-ernment money takers or do we want to bring back the days when people took pride in taking care of themselves? There is a time and a place for govern-ment assistance, but not forever.

The government wants everyone to become so dependent on them for every-thing that all our freedoms will disap-pear. It is already starting and it will only continue to get worse if we, the people, do not step up and take back the control of our country.

In order for the USA to continue as a free nation we must stop the government from interfering so drastically in our lives and take responsibility for our-

selves. If we continue down the path that we are on there will be no freedoms left.

You will be unable to practice the reli-gion that you prefer, you will not be able to speak against anyone, especially those in power, and every aspect of our per-sonal lives will be controlled by the gov-ernment.

The government will take most of your hard-earned money, and dole it back to you a little at a time, while the President and Congress will become the rich fat cats that they are trying to destroy. It is a well known fact that jobs are created because of private enter-prise, which the government is trying to destroy.

For instance, if the President would sign the pipeline agreement with Canada there would be an abundance of jobs, not only working on the pipeline, but in all other revenues as well. That is only one instance, and I am sure there are many others.

All we need is for the government to step out of our personal lives, cut back on the frivolous spending on unneces-sary projects and foreign bail outs and let the American people get on with their lives. It is the responsibility of every American voter to select the correct can-didate that will bring our nation back to the way it used to be.

Thanking the community

To the Editor:

December is a special time for us to reflect on the true meaning of Christ-mas, and it is a time to give hope to

some that aren’t so fortunate. Each year, the Junction City Harley

Owners Group, along with City Cycle Sales, sponsors the annual Toy Run. Enthusiastic motorcycle riders come from up to 70 miles away to bring a toy or donation. The toys go to children from age 1 month to 17 years who live in the Junction City, Fort Riley, and Grandview Plaza area.

After the Toy Run, refreshments are served while riders recall the excitement of the day. We don’t stop there — we collect donations of toys and money up to Dec. 24.

As you may know, there are several churches, the Salvation Army, and Opera-tion Santa Claus on Fort Riley that help the children in our area also. These are our special group of helpers and we couldn’t do it without them. Bob Cervera and Sarah Moppin from the Geary County Historical Museum were great helps.

To the Grandview Plaza fire chief, Jerome Thomas; Grandview Plaza Chief of Police Shawn Pierano; Mrs. Young; Patty Jo and all the volunteer firemen and their wives,

along with staff, thank you. Thank you for being the angels that made sure the fami-lies had a wonderful Christmas. We have exceptional groups who help with dona-tions so we can buy those special gifts.

Thanks to the members of the Flint Hills Morning Rotary; the Noon Kiwanis Club; Bryon Spurlock; Vonda and Jay Copeland; Ron and Carla Scheller; and the American Legion Riders and Combat Vets. A special thanks to Allan Rothlisburg; the Wads-worth family; Rosie Kane at St. Xavier; and Wayne A. Jaecke, owner of City Cycle Sales. Mike Rhodes, director of our Harley Owners Group, kicks the Toy Run off each year.

Lynda Costello, thank you for who you are and always being willing to lend a help-ing hand. This year, we provided gifts for 99 families, with three to four children in each family.

Lots of love went into each gift and we couldn’t have done it without volunteers like Sue Gwaltney and her staff at Parents as Teachers, the Geary County Infant/Tod-dler Services and Stacey Mayberry and your staff. These are the true angels. They made sure all the Christmas toys went to the families in time for Christmas. God Bless all of you.

Headlines from around KansasNEWS TO KNOW

Teen accused of planning school

shootingTOPEKA — A Topeka

teenager is charged with soliciting first-degree mur-der as part of an alleged plan to shoot two Topeka West High School adminis-trators, a city police officer and an officer at the school, a prosecutor said Wednes-day.

The 17-year-old is accused of trying to encourage three other individuals to help with the plot but he had no co-conspirators, Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor said at a news conference to announce the charges.

The boy, who was arrest-ed Tuesday, had a brief detention hearing Wednes-day afternoon

It was closed to the pub-lic, but a court administra-

tor said afterward that the boy’s bond is set at $1 mil-lion, and another hearing to set a schedule in the case will be held Jan. 23.

The boy was charged as a juvenile but Taylor said he would try to have him charged as an adult.

A telephone message seeking comment left for the boy’s mother at her home was not immediately returned.

Taylor declined to release many other details of the alleged plot.

He said the investigation began in mid-December after authorities received a tip and the plot was stopped early in the investigation.

“Make no mistake about it, this was a crisis averted,” Taylor said.

The suspect was not in Topeka during most of the investigation and was arrested while he was out of the city, although Taylor would not say where.

Two concerned parents of Topeka West students who attended the news con-ference said they had not heard about the alleged plot from either school adminis-trators or their children and became aware of it only after seeing online reports Wednesday.

Man missing since Dec. 31

ATCHISON — Police in northeast Kansas are ask-ing the public’s help in find-ing a 70-year-old man miss-ing since Dec. 31.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told KAIR-FM on Wednesday his depart-ment has received several leads since a Silver Alert for Garry Clyde Sandy was issued Jan. 10.

Wilson said there was a possible sighting of San-dy’s gold-colored 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup

truck early Saturday in Newton, about 160 miles southwest of Atchison.

Investigators are follow-ing that lead, among others, while also watching for any financial transactions.

Sandy is described as 5 feet 8 inches tall and weigh-ing 200 pounds, with thin-ning brown hair.

Senate panel takes up tougher crime

measuresTOPEKA — Top prose-

cutors are urging a Kan-sas Senate committee to take a harder stance on certain murder sentences, including increasing the penalty for premeditated first-degree murder to a mandatory 50 years to life

in prison.The proposed changes

heard Wednesday by the Senate Judiciary Commit-tee continued debates held in September when legis-lators met in special ses-sion to rewrite the state’s “Hard 50” prison term.

Legislators are consider-ing other changes, such as making the minimum 50 years to life in prison the presumptive sentence.

Currently the sentence is 25 years to life and prosecu-tors must convince juries to impose a 50-year mini-mum.

The committee also heard testimony on changing the sentence for attempted cap-ital murder to life without parole eligibility for 25 years, an increase from the current 12-year term.

By The Associated Press

WICHITA — After a 14-year battle, Kansas offi-cials have persuaded the federal government to redeem almost $862,000 in abandoned U.S. savings bonds and are seeking about $151 million more.

The redemption marks the first time that any state has been able to get the U.S. Treasury to cash out abandoned bonds, said Brett Milbourn, a private lawyer representing the state treasurer’s office.

The 1,447 redeemed bonds include some that date back to World War I and had gone unclaimed for at least eight years, , The Wichita Eagle report-ed. The bonds — the new-est that were redeemed had been purchased in January 1974 — were recovered from abandoned safe-deposit boxes once rented by Kansas resi-dents.

Until now, the govern-ment has refused to redeem the bonds without approv-al from the original owner or legitimate heir, state Treasurer Ron Estes said.

The bonds had reached final maturity and were no longer were drawing inter-est, he said, sitting in a safe at the treasurer’s office with other unclaimed property.

In addition to trying to contact the owners through their last known addresses and maintain-ing an unclaimed property database on the Internet, the state treasurer’s office also has advertised in newspapers across the state.

FORT RILEY — Keeping up with the rapidly increasing number of TRICARE beneficiaries who most often turn to a laptop or cell phone when they have ques-tions, walk-in service at the Fort Riley Irwin Army Community Hospital TRI-CARE Service Center (TSC) will no lon-ger be available as of April 1.

When walk-in service ends April 1, beneficiaries who want personal assis-tance can call UnitedHealthcare Military & Veterans at 1-877-988-WEST (1-877-988-9378) for enrollment and benefit help.

All health care, pharmacy, dental and claims contact information is located at www.tricare.mil/contactus.

Beneficiaries can get 24/7 TRICARE

benefit information at www.tricare.mil, and make enrollment and primary care manager changes, and more online at www.tricare.mil/enrollment.

Officials at IACH said that by eliminat-ing walk-in customer service at TSCs, the Department of Defense estimates saving $250 million over five years.

Transitioning to a digital customer ser-vice portal will allow customers to down-load health care forms online and send them by mail at a cost of less than 50 cents, combining high-tech with low-tech, the hospital said.

More information can be found at www.tricare.mil/TSC.

Dear Annie: Three months ago, I was put in charge of collecting money for a group contribution.

I put it in an envelope in my house

I then had to go on a trip.When I returned, I

searched high and low for the envelope, and for the life of me, I can’t find it.

Some were checks that may expire soon.

I made good on the contri-bution, so if I find the enve-lope, I can deposit the cash into my own account as reim-bursement.

But I don’t know what to do about the checks.

Should I call those folks and tell them I misplaced the money and suggest they stop payment, or should I just let them expire?

I am really embarrassed about this. — Upset and Frustrated

Dear Frustrated: You must call and inform these people that the checks were misplaced.

They can then decide whether they want to stop payment (for which there is generally a bank charge) or simply let the checks expire.

They may even choose to reissue them in order to reimburse you (provided they trust that you won’t find and cash the checks).

Either way, be sure to apologize for hiding them so well that you can no longer find them.

If the checks turn up later, return them to the givers.

Those people who have not already done so should then reimburse you, because you covered their costs out of your own pocket.

Dear Annie: In the past five years, my parents, in-laws and an uncle passed away.

My uncle lived in the same house for 40 years and kept everything.

I took off a lot of time from work to go through his moun-tains of paperwork and paid a lot of money to have his place cleaned out.

I’d like to offer some advice:

If you are over 55 or in poor health, please start decluttering your home now.

Even if you are in good health, you could have an accident or suddenly become ill.

Start with one hour per week and work on one closet or room.

Many charities will pick up your unused, serviceable things.

Organizations like Habitat for Humanity desperately need clean, decent furniture and household items.

Trust me, your children don’t want your old knick-knacks.

Save the family photos, and get your kids and grand-kids to come over and pick out a few things they will truly treasure.

Make sure you have a will

and a list somewhere of life insurance policies, bank accounts and so forth, and give a copy to your lawyer or a trusted relative.

If there are family heir-looms, include in your will who gets what.

Stop collecting stuff and collect memories instead. Visit your friends and rela-tives while you can.

Take that special trip you’ve always dreamed of.

Don’t leave a mess for those who care about you the most. — No Clutter Nancy

Dear Nancy: Most people find it overwhelming to go through 40 years’ worth of clutter, papers, knickknacks, old clothing and what have you.

Your advice to start with one hour in one closet or room is smart, and we hope people (of all ages) will add it to their resolutions for the year.

They won’t regret it.Dear Annie: I read the let-

ter from “The Bride,” whose soon-to-be sister-in-law, “Jes-sie,” sounds like my young-est sister.

She has disrupted the lives of her family since she was 12.

She caused such a scene at our father’s funeral that she stopped the service.

In her early 20s, she was diagnosed as bipolar.

She refuses counseling and medication.

I sympathize with Jessie’s family, but if she’s like my sister, her behavior at the wedding will depend on her unpredictable mental state.

The best course of action is to exclude her from public events.

She won’t be happy about it, but she will never be happy until her disorder is controlled. — Sad but True

ARIES (March 21—April 19). Worrying about every little thing you are given and whether or not you have contributed enough to earn it is a waste of energy. If you’re given something, it’s probably for a good reason. Enjoy it.

TAURUS (April 20—May 20). You have big talents and little affinity for publicizing them. That’s fine — stay modest. There are people around you now who will do all the marketing for you.

GEMINI (May 21—June 21). You won’t feel like leaving the thing that’s working well, but this is no time to get too com-fortable at home. Your best source of luck and love is miles away from your front door.

CANCER (June 22—July 22). To find your own identity, you sometimes have to try others on for size. By the way, iden-tity quests are not strictly for very young people. You’ve had many incarnations thus far, and you’ll have many more.

LEO (July 23—Aug. 22). There is dan-ger in every life. You know better than to expose yourself to it unnecessarily, even though this may be a particularly slow time danger-wise. Seek other kinds of excitement.

VIRGO (Aug. 23—Sept. 22). Your active mind will latch on to an idea and spin it every which way. Every question leads to another. You’re curious, and this is why you’ll learn, do and be more suc-cessful.

LIBRA (Sept. 23—Oct. 23). Do you remember your dreams? There’s infor-

mation there that will shed light on a relationship. Increased spiritual aware-ness and intuitive ability are part of your cosmic gift now through the weekend.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24—Nov. 21). Other people’s organized efforts will interest you and inspire you to start a program of your own. Physical activities are favored, as is participation in the arts, music and entertainment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22—Dec. 21). You and your siblings or neighbors will get together for a group venture. This will be remembered later by the youngest and eldest of the group, so be sure to include them in a meaningful way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22—Jan. 19). Dis-cussion ensues, first in person and then through email and text messages. Take care that the version of your thoughts that makes it into writing is full of sensitiv-ity and humanity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20—Feb. 18). You can’t predict how a project will turn out because there are too many variables involved now. Narrow down the vari-ables, and you’ll have more control over the outcome.

PISCES (Feb. 19—March 20). There’s something valuable to be gained from relating to someone who thinks very dif-ferently than you. Be bold. Talk to people you don’t know about what you’re doing. Male relationships are favored.

Optimist ClubThe JC Breakfast Opti-

mist Club Board met Wednesday, in the Hamp-ton Inn Meeting Room.

The meeting was called to order by the club’s Trea-surer, Luise Mathes. Mem-bers recited the Pledge of Allegiance, The Optimist Creed, and Rev. Nikki Wool-sey offered a morning prayer.

Lawrence Long was thanked for contributing pop tops as was Duane Blaske, who works at Wal-mart, but is not an Optimist Club member.

Pop tops are collected by the club and shared with local schools, who donate the tops as a service project to the Ronald McDonald House.

Anais Lopez, Affordable Care Act (ACA) Navigator, presented information about the ACA.

She works in the Konza Prairie CHC office in Junc-tion City, but also serves Herington, Clay Center, and Marysvi l le. Lopez shared the ACA has actually been in place since 2010 and has been a signifi-cant move towards provid-ing people with preventa-tive care.

“No one is turned away from getting care,” she said. As of 2014 insurance com-panies cannot exclude or charge higher amounts for pre-existing conditions for anyone and premium rates will be based only on age, tobacco use, geography, and family structure.”

There has been a signifi-cant impact on 58,000 adults and children who would have been eligible for health care coverage.

“It is not working the way it should,” she said. “Those who need it can’t get it and some leave my office cry-ing,” because they need help.

The role of the navigator is to help people work through the application. The navigator does not keep files or take personal information.

They guide and direct the person seeking health care insurance.

Her reminder is that “everyone does not have to sign up for the ACA, but everyone has to have insur-ance.”

Lopez is a licensed law-yer who is willing to do what she can to help people work through the process of getting insurance and is available at Konza Prairie CHC 361 Grant Ave. The number is (785) 238-4711 ext. 233.

Programs for the remain-ing Wednesdays in January will include: Jeff Hoss will perform on his bass and talk about the “Blues,” and the club will continue with the theme of “Getting To Know Your Optimist Club Members,” as Red Dunham and Lawrence Long, will share their reasons for being long-time members.

The Optimists meet at 6:30 a.m. on Wednesdays at the Hampton Inn, 1039 S. Washington.

Come and enjoy your first breakfast on us and learn more about this grow-ing civic organization, which is a “Friend of Youth.”

We support many youth programs in our communi-ty.

The Optimistic quote for the week is, “You create your own reality.”

Lyon Creek 4-HThe meeting was called

to order at 2:45 p.m. by President Josh Haynes.

As a club we said the Pledge of Allegiance, 4-H Pledge and also the 4-H motto.

it with the addition that Josie adjourned the meet-ing.

Sam Shefelton gave the treasurer’s report. We have $370.75 in our savings account.

Adult Leader Barb Thom-as gave a leader report

She went over that 4-H Days is Feb. 15; we are going to participate by doing the club cheer and gavel games.

For old business, we had all our committees give reports.

The Errington’s said that the Flint Hills Discovery Center is $150 to get in for 20 people and a conference room.

If we decide to do this, then we need to raise funds.

Hayden gave the sugges-tion the we go to the Kolling Pharms or Stan and Betty Lewis gardens.

Haynes also suggested Rolling Hills.

As new business, our club officer training was at p.m. Dec. 8.

Barb liked all the ideas we had about our club and how to improve.

We had all officers show up.

Errington shared that the Kansas 4-H foundation was raising money for the Rock Springs pool.

We discussed that we would do the swimmers, which is $5 per member.

In the end it would be a total of $90.

As a club we approved it.We had a potluck after we

sang Christmas carols at the Chapman Valley Manor.

Rebekah adjourned the meeting and Pierce second-ed it.

The meeting was adjourned at 3 p.m.

Geary County Landlords

AssociationThe monthly meeting of

the Geary County Land-lords Association took place at 7 p.m. Monday at the Dorothy Bramlage Public Library.

Gary Olds was elected president and Jeff Hodge vice president. Greg Fedo-rchuk was re-elected as treasurer, and Marie-Anne Eickholt was re-elected as secretary.

Richard Pinaire, from the Hoover Law Firm, was the guest speaker.

As both a lawyer and a landlord, his presentation on the eviction process was very informative.

He explained the roles of lawyer, landlord and law enforcement official from a legal standpoint.

Olds asked input from the membership regarding the proposed multi-use trail on the north side of Eighth Street.

He also announced the responsibility of dealing with blight problems has been transferred from the police department to the Building and Codes Depart-ment.

Doris Nelson, the TALK representative from Geary County, reported legisla-tors are talking about re-opening the Kansas Land-lord/Tenant Act.

Announcements focused on the Country Living Expo, which will take place Jan. 25 at the Geary County 4-H/Senior Citizen Center, where Brian Hanson will talk about Radon in Kan-sas Homes.

The place, date and time of the next meeting will be announced at a later date.

Walla Walla EHUThe Walla Wala EHU

started the New Year out on the right foot. We all enjoyed the lesson given by Jackie Breese, “let’s live a little for fun and fitness.”

Many people grow up believing older people

become weak, and should slow down and stop doing things they once did.

People are often weak because they are inactive.

There are some circum-stances where this can be true.

Jackie led us in several different exercises, which we all enjoyed and believe we will continue them. Choose to put physical activity into your day.

The meeting was called to order by Vice President Lois Strauss.

A communication was read from the hospital, thanking us for the 190 stuffed animals the club presented them for children entering the hospital.

Kathryn Rogers gave the Kansas Tidbits on an arti-cle written Jan. 7 by Bob Honeymon about the 1912 snowbound train in Skiddy in a 12-inch snowbank for 24 hours.

There were 15 passengers on board, eight from Junc-tion City. Passengers had lots of stories to tell.

When the train was in trouble, it was to blow the whistle; no one in Skiddy heard it, but a farmer did, and brought them biscuits and eggs to eat.

The unit will be taking a quilt barn tour on May 28, ending up at Council Grove and eating at the Hayes House.

Deb Andres, our Co-Fam-ily and Consumer Science Agent, will be having many interesting lessons this coming month, so watch for them.

Jackie served a delicious lunch, and we all enjoyed the fun and fellowship.

Kiwanis NotesBoard members in atten-

dance included Ken Mortensen, Mike Rhodes,

Patty Maycroft, Mike Good-win, Paul Arjona, Maureen Gustafson, Harold Marion, Keith Fine, Trish Giordano, and Ray Schmidt.

Gale Cynova was absent.Maycroft declared a quo-

rum and called the meeting to order.

Gustafson presented the treasurer’s report.

Fine moved to accept, Schmidt seconded, and the motion carried. Mortensen read the minutes from Dec. 4.

Gustafson moved to accept, Mike Rhodes sec-onded, motion carried.

Maycroft mentioned that our annual pancake break-fast is coming up on March 1.

Mortensen will print the tickets, Mike Rhodes will check on the Knights of Columbus hall for avail-ability, Arjona has the sup-plies and will get an inven-tory to Maycroft, Charlie has the grills and Garry will ask Swift Armour for a link sausage donation.

Last year we obtained patty sausage, syrup, but-ter, and other supplies from Coach’s. Gustafson said if she had a list she would contact Adam at Coach’s.

Maycroft handed out the new speaker list and mem-bership roster.

Mortensen introduced Larry Hicks, a Junction City native and presently serving as one of three Geary County Commission-ers.

Hicks is a self-described Army brat and graduated from JCHS in 1967.

He feels that growing up here gave him an enriched and engaged environment that taught him to respect all people.

He attended Kansas State University and Arkansas A&M College.

After graduation, he

moved to Atlantic City to work as a radio talk host and was able to interview many in the entertain-ment and sports fields.

He helped start a pri-vate lending program to help businesses find fund-ing.

Hicks also started his own public relations busi-ness before moving to Washington to work at the Pentagon business devel-opment area for 16 years.

He was there on 9/11 and it deeply affected him.

He suffered a cardiac arrest in 2007 and was in a coma for three days.

Later that year he moved back to Geary County.

He ran for County Com-missioner and won by 24 votes.

He feels the county faces challenges of how to man-age the growth and keep-ing the mill level low.

He feels the county’s fis-cal health is strong.

Since the state is taking away funds, we need to think of other ways to obtain new funding sourc-es other than raising the mill levy.

Increasing the transient guest tax is one avenue.

It is now at five percent and has been there since 1990. The Sports Complex needs a private/public solution and should not impact the mill levy.

The area also needs to diversify away from Fort Riley and not have it as the sole source of econom-ics of the area.

He mentioned that the county is going to take over the health depart-ment sometime in 2014.

Speaker chair next week is Jack Murrison.

else’s hospitality,” Mondick said. “Moving there would be my immediate end-all solution, as opposed to leav-ing it to chance.”

Along with Acorns Resort, other affected sites include Flagstop Resort and RV Park and Thunderbird Marina and Campground.

The USACE policy is requiring resort owners offer 75 percent of their spots for nine months. For the remaining months, those sites must be com-pletely vacated.

Therefore, the remaining 25 percent must remain open for rental camping, which requires users to move every two weeks.

A lottery system is also in place for each person who wishes to have a long-term site.

Acorns Resort has 31 campers, but only 12 can stay for the wintertime camping months.

That leaves 19 campers moving out. According to the resort, the majority of those campers are active duty military personnel or contractors associated with Fort Riley.

For an occupant with the first name of Debbie, it’s overwhelming.

“There are no words that can explain it,” Debbie said about the feeling. “I’ve never been evicted before.”

Like Mondick, Debbie also is scrambling to find a place to live.

“I don’t think it’s right that we have to move with-in a short notice,” Debbie said. “At the moment, we don’t know what we’re going to do.”

Debbie said her family chose to stay in a camper to

have a little bit of freedom. “We bought the camper

to live on our own because there’s always a six-month waiting list on military housing,” Debbie said.

Their home in Neal is more than two hours away. That means her husband would have to travel that distance everyday for work.

Debbie is also upset about paying for rent, but having to leave before the end of the month.

“As far as I know we’re losing money,” Debbie said. “We have a nice cozy place to stay, and here it is, win-tertime, and we’re pretty much out on the street try-ing to find a new home.”

Local officials from the

Junction City-Geary Coun-ty Convention and Visitors Bureau believe the policy will result in a loss of reve-nue for area.

They also stated it does not make sense to kick them out for three months.

“It’s unfortunate that the military families who reside at Acorns Resort now face uncertainty about their housing situation,” U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran’s office said in a statement. “(We) have worked to prevent a disruption through numer-ous conversations with local stakeholders includ-ing Junction City officials, the Geary County CVB and the Junction City Chamber of Commerce. Additional-ly, we have made requests

for information and had discussions with Depart-ment of Defense personnel at the Pentagon and Fort Riley. (We) will continue to pursue ways to be support-ive of the families poten-tially impacted.”

USACE officials were unavailable for comment.

AcornsContinued from Page 1A

Taylor didn’t say whether another case would be filed, only that one could be refiled.

As of Wednesday afternoon, Jung-hans’s attorney, John Thurston, hadn’t yet returned The Daily Union’s message requesting a comment. In December, Junghans pleaded not guilty to felony theft. A criminal complaint filed in

court alleged the theft occurred “in two or more acts or transactions.”

Thurston later told The Daily Union he believed prosecutors would have a tough time proving their case. City and county officials have not stated the source of the funds in question. How-ever, an animal code recently approved by the City Commission makes changes to how pet license fees are handled.

The change was recommended by the city’s auditors last year after they raised red flags about the apparent absence of a process for tracking taxpayers’ dollars

for those fees, Assistant City Manager Cheryl Beatty said Sept. 4 during a City Commission meeting. The new code makes the pet licensing and fee collec-tions the city treasurer’s responsibility. In the past, vets and the Junction City-Geary County Animal Shelter were responsible for those collections. Geary County court records show Junghans has a number of civil court cases relat-ed to finances. U.S. Bankruptcy Court records show Junghans has filed for bankruptcy three times. She was grant-ed a discharge each time.

Junction City Manager Gerald Smith wants to focus on finding ways to cre-ate new revenue streams for the city without placing more burden on tax-payers.

At Tuesday’s Leaders Retreat Junc-tion City session, hosted by the Junc-tion City Area Chamber of Commerce and the Flint Hills Regional Council, Smith told an audience in the C.L. Hoover Opera House Montgomery Rehearsal Hall the city currently is too reliant on sales tax revenue.

“It’s pretty close to say our sales tax funds our general fund operations,” Smith said.

Figures Smith shared showed an estimated $3.4 million in city sales tax revenue for 2013 through November. Smith said December revenue could bump the total to about $3.8 million.

Relying on sales tax revenue for operation costs isn’t sustainable, Smith said, especially if Junction City is hit with an economic crisis. Junction City already is facing a debt load of about $150 million.

“That is a challenge,” Smith said of paying off the debt. “It’s not undoable, but it’s a challenge and a burden.”

Smith said city staff, in 45 to 60 days, will begin to present to the City Com-mission new initiatives with recom-mended user fees to increase revenue streams for the city.

Those streams will support “under-funded city services,” while slowly reducing the reliance on sales tax rev-enue, increasing the city’s reserves to a “responsible” level and not placing the burden on the “overburdened” taxpay-er. More revenue also will help the city to keep up with its obligations to a growing community.

In 2006, Junction City had a popula-tion of 16,804. In 2012, that number grew to 25,817, due largely in part to more troops being stationed at Fort Riley. But an increase in population means an increase in obligations the city must meet, Smith said, such as providing law enforcement, fire and

EMS services, and maintaining city streets.

“We’re looking to work with all groups — the chamber, the EDC — to find how we move forward,” Smith said.

Smith said he’ll be attending this weekend’s Leaders Retreat in Overland Park — a regional event conducted by the Junction City, Manhattan and Wamego chambers of commerce.

“This is a group effort,” Smith said of identifying opportunities for the community.

Meanwhile, Geary County Commis-sioner Ben Bennett believes the key to success is the city and county working together, he said Tuesday during the session.

Bennett, who was first elected eight years ago, did indicate government cooperation has come a long way since he started.

“There was a lot of ‘this is mine and this is yours’ in the governing agencies in this community,” he said. “I’ve seen that disappear.”

As an example, Bennett pointed to the monthly meetings between city and county officials.

“That has been a strong point, I think, and something we’ve been look-ing for,” he said.

Bennett added that while Junction City and Geary County’s working rela-tionship has improved, so must rela-tionships with regional neighbors.

“We can’t lose our personal identity, but we’ve got to expand that to work with our neighbors,” Bennett said.

Bennett said the county must con-tinue to work toward regionalism, focus on economic development and develop a regional public transit sys-tem. Locally, Bennett said the county must find a balance between providing expanded services to citizens and not increasing property taxes.

“We can’t continue to tax the people of this county on their property” for the level of services some people want, he said.

Leaders Retreat sessionOfficials provide outlooks for 2014

FROM PAGE ONE/NEWS

When the movers and shak-ers from Junction City and Geary County head to Over-land Park Friday and Saturday for the Leaders Retreat, they’ll be taking with them a more solidified idea of how their communities would like to be viewed as part of the Flint Hills region.

That was the purpose of a Leaders Retreat local session held Tuesday in the C.L. Hoover Opera House’s Montgomery Rehearsal Hall.

The event was held by the Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce and the Flint Hills Regional Council.

Regional Council Executive Director William Clark, who helped facilitate discussions, told about 50 people gathered in the room he was excited for this weekend’s retreat.

Clark also explained that people living in the region often experience several of its com-munities as part of their daily routines.

For example, he said a per-son could live in one commu-nity, work in a second and rec-reate in a third.

“The populous that we serve, they don’t see the governmen-tal lines the way we tend to look at them on a map,” Clark said.

As part of the local session, participants put their heads together to prepare for the regional session’s four main topics — land use, transporta-tion, workforce and branding.

Land useWhile the Junction City Area

Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Com-mission have had discussions on use of local land, it’s also weighing on the minds of regional officials.

Jeff Adams, regional plan-

ner for the Flint Hills Regional Council, said his organization is working to help industries locate available land through-out the region.

“We’re developing a regional site selection tool,” Adams said.

The finished product will be similar to the Economic Devel-opment Commission’s website, which features land available in Junction City and Geary County.

TransportationAs the region grows, officials

must begin to think about how its communities will be con-nected, Clark said.

“When we think about trans-portation, we need to think much broader than getting in our vehicles and driving down Main Street,” he said. “Trans-portation is a much broader topic. Think public transporta-tion, think air, think rail, think bike and pedestrian.”

Though connections to the rest of the region were dis-cussed, several ideas for how Junction City can address its transportation needs also sur-faced.

One example was improving rail service for a larger indus-try that may want to establish itself in the city or county.

The local discussion also included better sidewalks and more carpooling opportunities.

WorkforceRecent discussions among

Junction City chamber and economic development officials have centered on preparing the community for possible jobs related to the National Bio- and Agro-Defense Facility in Man-hattan.

Regionally, the job growth

outlook is focused on other areas.

Adams said while govern-ment jobs will remain steady, it’s not going to be growing.

“Education will continue to grow, construction, social ser-vices, healthcare, personal care,” he said. “A lot of this is kind of national-type growth. It’s that aging demographic.”

Adams asked session partici-pants to consider whether Junction City’s educational institutions were preparing a workforce that could meet its needs and the region’s needs.

After returning from dis-cussing in small groups, a point was made that perhaps Junc-tion City isn’t prepared to answer that question.

“We’ve got to have that dis-cussion,” Clark said.

BrandingThe final topic covered Tues-

day was how Junction City views itself and how that could tie in with how the region is viewed.

Geary County Convention and Visitors Bureau Assistant Director Rick Dykstra asked everyone to brainstorm ideas for how they’d like Junction City to be perceived.

“Too often, other people out-side our community set our brand image,” Dykstra said.

Some of the brand ideas shared included diversity, friendly people, gateway to the animal health corridor and a small town with a big heart.

Regional cooperationThe ideas shared Tuesday

will be brought to the Over-land Park retreat, where they’ll be thrown into the regional mix.

The Junction City girls basketball team came close to finally taking control of the game against Topeka High all evening.

But whenever it seemed the Blue Jays finally stole the momentum from the visitors, the Trojans snatched it right back.

Late in the fourth quarter, Junction City sophomore Kealee Rains knocked down a 3-pointer to bring Topeka High’s lead down to 39-36.

But the Blue Jays just couldn’t finish the comeback.

Topeka High made a free throw to extend its lead to four on free throws before the Blue Jays sent three shots from down-town on the basket on their next trip down the court, but the ball never managed to drop in.

Junction City (3-4, 1-2) didn’t score again, losing 43-36.

“We ran the play to try and get the three off because I thought that we were starting to get into a groove,” Junction City coach Nate Parks said. “But it wasn’t set. It was take a three if it’s open, if not, take it to the basket.”

At the outset of the game, both teams

focused on defense, restricting the scoring.Topeka High’s Maddy Madden, a destruc-

tive force in the center, broke through the Blue Jays’ defense to give the Trojans an early lead.

The Blue Jays didn’t respond until midway through the first quarter.

Senior Kori Kamm knocked an inlet pass out to freshman Darja Russell.

She raced down the court, beating the Tro-jan defender for the layup.

Russell continued to steady her team, scor-ing six points in the first half.

“I just wanted to provide for the team and make sure my team was going to be up there and needed to do what I needed to do,” Russell said.

However, Russell cooled off in the second half, finishing the game with eight points.

“She’s an up-and-comer,” Parks said. “She’s going to do some special things in this program throughout her years. I think her penetration

The Junction City boys basketball team was down one point with less than 15 seconds remaining against Topeka High Tuesday.

It was the exact same situation the Blue Jays faced when they hosted Hays on Dec. 17 in the

t e a m ’ s previous

home game.

On that cold, December night, the Hays defense trapped Junction City in a corner and the team failed to make an attempt on the basket.

This time, the locals were prepared.

Junction City senior Jonathan Wilds received junior Tanner Lueker’s pass on the wing and drove to the basket. After scooting around his man, Wilds pulled up and daft-ly sent the ball toward the hoop.

It bounced off the upper left cor-ner of the box etched on the backboard, down to the inside front edge of the rim and fell back through the net to give Junction City (4-3, 2-1) a 60-59 win

against Topeka High (2-4, 1-2).

“Composure-wise, it was just ‘yes sir, we’re going to go execute,’” Junction City senior for-ward Semaj Johnson said. “Everyone had the mind-set of don’t worry about the scoreboard, don’t worry about the shot clock, none of that. You work on the situation in practice and we went out and executed.”

Junction City built a 54-40 lead in the fourth quarter after senior Danny Thornton and Wilds knocked down 3-pointers in the third quarter and junior Jordan Lawrence decimat-ed the Trojans with his midrange jump-er.

Lawrence finished 13 points to lead the Blue Jays in scoring.

“My teammates really push me in practice and

(Topeka) gave me a little bit of space so I just stepped back and felt comfortable,” Lawrence said.

In that stretch, Junc-tion City prevented Tope-ka from getting second chances on offense.

On back-to-back third quarter trips, Thornton, a guard, crashed the

defensive glass and out-hustled the Topeka big men for rebounds.

“We really believe that winning basketball is three things, it’s defend-ing, it’s rebounding and then it’s protecting the basketball,” Junction City coach Pat Battle said. “And we were pretty solid in that rebounding phase

tonight, I think that was enough for us to win.”

But then, in the fourth quarter, Topeka roared back by hitting treys on three of its next four trips down the court.

The one time the Tro-jans didn’t hit a shot from downtown, Topeka High’s Tyrece Parker scored a

NFL

Vikings hire Mike Zimmer as coachThe Minnesota Vikings will

hire Cincinnati Bengals defen-sive coordinator Mike Zimmer as their new head coach, accord-ing to multiple media reports.

Zimmer will replace Leslie Frazier, who was fired after the team finished 5-10-1 this sea-son. Zimmer will be the ninth head coach in the franchise’s 54-year history, according to reports that emerged Wednes-day.

General manager Rick Spiel-man interviewed at least seven candidates for the job including Zimmer, who spent Tuesday at Vikings headquarters talking with team officials. Zimmer has been an NFL defensive coordi-nator for the last 14 seasons, six with the Bengals. He has 20 years as an NFL assistant on his resume.

Lacy replaces Peterson in Pro Bowl

Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy will replace Adrian Peterson at the Pro Bowl later this month.

The Minnesota Vikings run-ning back can’t participate because of an injury.

Lacy set franchise rookie records this season for rushing yards (1,178), rushing touch-downs (11) and rushing attempts (284). He tied the team’s rookie mark for 100-yard rushing games at four.

Lacy is the first Packers run-ning back since Ahman Green in 2004 to go to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii and the first Green Bay rookie running back since John Brockington in 1971.

Lacy says he sees the Pro Bowl as an opportunity to thank his teammates and coaches for helping with his accomplish-ments on the field this past sea-son.

NBA

Warriors acquire Crawford, BrooksA person familiar with the

situation says the Boston Celtics have traded guards Jordan Crawford and MarShon Brooks to the Golden State Warriors as part of a three-team deal.

The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity Wednes-day because the trade was awaiting NBA approval, said the Warriors sent guard Toney Douglas to the Miami Heat. The Heat moved center Joel Anthony and future draft picks to the Celtics in a move that creates more financial flexibility.

Yahoo Sports first reported the trade.

The deal gives Golden State a more suitable backup to point guard Stephen Curry after Doug-las had struggled most of the season. Crawford is averaging 13.7 points and 5.6 assists this season.

MANHATTAN — They say good things come in threes.

For the Wildcats, there were plenty of threes Tues-day night.

Kansas State (13-4, 3-1) hit 11 3-pointers, including eight in the first half, as the Wildcats upset No. 25 Okla-homa (13-4, 2-2), 72-66, at Bramlage Coliseum.

The win not only was K-State’s third Big 12 win, it was head coach Bruce Weber’s third win over Oklahoma. It helped the Wildcats rebound from a tough 80-69 loss to No. 18 Kansas Saturday.

“One of the things I talk-ed about last night was that we watched West Virginia just get hammered by

Texas, and they lost a heart-breaking game to Oklaho-ma State on Saturday,” Weber said. “You can’t let one loss make two.”

For part of the second half, it looked like the Wild-cats were in danger of los-ing two in a row. After squandering a nine-point lead in the first half, K-State led by one at halftime. But the teams traded baskets for most of the first 12 min-utes of the second half, Oklahoma Ryan Spangler’s and-one play with 6:56 remaining put his team ahead 58-56, and with 5:37 left, Spangler’s two free throws gave Oklahoma a six-point lead.

But then, an unlikely hero stepped up for the Wildcats. On the ensuing possession, Wesley Iwundu hit a three-pointer from the

corner to bring K-State within three. For Iwundu, it was his third three-pointer of the game, two more than he made this season to date.

After Oklahoma couldn’t convert on its next posses-sion, Marcus Foster hit a jumper to cut the lead to one.

Oklahoma’s Isaiah Cous-

ins hit one of two free throws, Thomas Gipson scored his first basket of the game with 2:59 remain-ing to knot the score at 63. Oklahoma failed to hit a three, Foster responded with a three of his own to give the Wildcats a 66-63 lead, one they would not relinquish for the remain-der of the game. K-State ended on an 11-3 run, scor-ing their final six points on free throws.

“We just got in the hud-dle, and said, we need a stop,” Shane Southwell said about the final six minutes. “And then we needed to execute. Then Wes (Iwun-du) hit a big three…and we just had to not make a stop and just outrebound them, because Spangler killed us on the boards.”

Seahawks don’t see problems with offense

By Tim BooTh

Associated Press

RENTON, Wash. — Rus-sell Wilson and the Sea-hawks offense haven’t exactly produced impres-sive numbers during the past month.

But ask Wilson and coach Pete Carroll if there are worries heading into Sun-day’s NFC championship game against San Francisco and, while they say they would like to see more con-sistency, they say the num-bers aren’t the important thing.

“We’re always looking for more and he is too and all that,” Carroll said. “But as long as our football team is playing well and we’re play-ing within the formula and we’re playing good defense, we’re running the football, we’re playing on (special) teams, and we’re taking care of the ball and getting it, we’re going to have a really good chance to win. And that’s what’s most important to us. It’s not about the stats and all that.”

Seattle advanced to the NFC championship game despite getting a career-low passing performance from Wilson, who threw for 103 yards in the Seahawks’ 23-15 win over the Saints. It was the fourth time in the past five games that Wilson failed to top 200 yards pass-ing and the Seahawks had less than 300 yards of total offense.

The Seahawks were helped by a huge day from Marshawn Lynch, running

for 140 yards and two touch-downs in his best game since Week 10. And the passing numbers against New Orleans were skewed by the awful weather condi-tions with strong winds and heavy rain making throw-ing the football a challenge.

But the lack of consis-tency by the passing game versus New Orleans, against a team Wilson had carved up earlier in the sea-son, only heightened fan worries heading into Sun-day.

“We’ve played some real-ly good defenses and they’ve made some plays. There’s definitely room for improve-ment, especially on my part and that’s the thing I look forward to every week,” Wilson said. “I always think I can get better and there’s tons of throws in there that I can make and I know I will make. So I have no worry about that. I think the ulti-mate goal is for us to win football games and to be explosive and make the clutch play when we need

to make the clutch play.”Ultimately, it’s Wilson’s

job to be a caretaker of the ball and not take undue risks in the passing game. That’s what Carroll wants from his quarterback, and Wilson follows, sometimes to the point of frustration by fans. Carroll was asked this week if he thought Wil-son was being too conserva-tive.

“No, I really haven’t,” he said.

Carroll believes that because being too aggres-sive can sometimes lead to turnovers and no one val-ues possession more than Seattle. That’s why the Sea-hawks led the NFL this sea-son with a plus-20 turnover differential — they were extremely aggressive on defense and cautious on offense.

“I never play scared. I never have, I never will,” Wilson said. “I think that for me, in terms of decision-making, I always try to make the smart decision.”

49ers must deal with noiseBy Janie mccauley

Associated Press

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Jim Harbaugh will turn to lip reading, motioning and even sign language if he has to in order to communicate with Colin Kaepernick to keep things running smoothly in the deaf-ening noise of Seattle’s home stadium.

Kaepernick plans to repeat his calls as many times as necessary in the huddle during the NFC championship game Sun-day to make sure his teammates hear him.

“He just has to be louder,” center Jona-than Goodwin said. “There’s really no spe-cial tricks. You’ve just got to be as loud as possible and hope everybody hears it.”

Solid communication through the chaos at CenturyLink Field will be paramount for Kaepernick, who had one of his worst performances as a pro in a 29-3 Week 2 loss to the Seahawks.

In preparation, music blared across San Francisco’s practice field Wednesday. The 49ers regularly practice with the sound system at full blast, but it is that much more important this week as they head to what is considered the NFL’s loudest venue.

“Other teams may approach it different-

ly,” Harbaugh said. “You’ve got to be able to communicate without being able to hear very well. You can simulate that somewhat in practice. Signals, hand signals, verbal signals, body language, reading lips, differ-ent ways. But, we’ll practice that. We’ve been in some of those environments.”

While Kaepernick blames poor execu-tion, and not noise issues, for two disap-pointing defeats in Seattle over the past 13 months, he realizes he will have to holler at the top of his lungs to avoid further prob-lems getting the snap off in time.

“You stick to the basics,” wideout Anquan Boldin said Wednesday.

The 49ers (14-4) had the second-most delay of game penalties in the NFL during the regular season with eight and have frequently struggled to get plays off on time, forcing them to waste timeouts.

And that’s in the best of circumstances, not in the Seattle noise. In the first meeting with the Seahawks, the Niners committed two false starts, one delay of game and needed to use two timeouts on one third-quarter drive as they fought the play clock. Last year, they had two delays and were again forced to use two timeouts on offense when they couldn’t get the play off.

Foster led the team in scoring with 18 points and fellow freshman Nino Wil-liams added 10 points and nine rebounds.

“I feel like the end of the game is just like the first five minutes of the game,” Williams said. “I’m just relaxed.”

Weber said Williams has stepped up since Big 12 play started.

“Five of the last six (games), he’s been impor-tant for us,” he said.

Weber said earlier this week he told his squad that Oklahoma “was the team of runs,” and in the first half, both teams jumped out to big leads via long periods of scoring. The Sooners stormed back from and early 6-3 deficit with an 11-2 run to take a 14-8 lead with 14:13 left to play in the first half.

Then, the Wildcats began their 3-pointer barrage. Foster hit three straight three pointers to tie the game at 17, and Will Spra-dling and Iwundu followed with three-pointers to give

K-State a 23-17 lead. With 8:47 remaining in the half, the Wildcats led 28-19, but Oklahoma went on an 18-5 run to take a four-point lead with one minute remaining.

Southwell hit a three to cut the deficit to one with 30 seconds remaining. Spradling attempted a three — his fourth of the half — with 0.8 seconds remaining, which fell short of the rim. But Oklahoma’s Jordan Woodard was called for a foul, and Spradling converted all three shots to give K-State a 39-38 lead at halftime.

Weber said the next two weeks will have “the same routine” for his squad. He’s looking for his experienced players to continue to be leaders.

“It’s important for these guys to keep the attention of our young guys, and keep them energized and motivated if we’re going to have success in these next few weeks,” Weber said.

K-State hosts West Vir-ginia University (10-7, 2-2) Saturday; the Mountain-eers are coming off an 80-69 loss to Texas Monday evening.

Iowa St DL coach Curtis Bray dies at 43

By Luke Meredith

Associated Press

AMES, Iowa — Iowa State defensive line coach Curtis Bray died Wednesday, the team said. He was 43.

Cyclones spokesman Mike Green confirmed Bray’s death to The Associ-ated Press, but said no addi-tional details were immedi-ately available.

“Curtis Bray was a dear friend to me and to all he ever came in contact with,” Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said. “He was a trusted and loyal assistant coach who always put the kids and the team in front of his work. He was as gen-uine in his approach to rela-tionships, coaching and life as anyone I have ever been associated with. We will miss him dearly.”

Bray grew up in Monro-eville, Pa. and became the first defensive player to be honored as the Gatorade national player of the year for Gateway High in 1987.

Bray graduated from Pitt in 1992 after a stellar career as a linebacker for the Pan-thers. He also coached at Duquesne, Western Ken-tucky and Villanova and later worked with Rhoads at Pittsburgh, where Bray spent seven seasons.

Bray was the linebackers coach when Rhoads was Pitt’s defensive coordinator. Bray followed Rhoads to Ames when he was named

Iowa State’s head coach in 2009 after working on the staff at Temple.

“Curtis made indelible contributions as both a player and assistant coach at Pitt. His competitive nature on the field was only surpassed by his kind and gentle demeanor off of it ,” the University of Pitts-burgh athletic department said in a statement. “Our deepest sympathies go out to his family and many loved ones. While Curtis will be greatly missed, he will not be forgotten by the many people he touched at Pitt.”

Bray spent the past five seasons working at Iowa State and was known for his work with the defensive ends. The Cyclones reached three bowls games during Bray’s time on the staff.

“He was so much fun to be around,” Iowa State defensive end Cory Morris-sey said. “He could joke around with you and make a tense situation better with his personality. I am really going to remember the way he coached me and the way he coached my position group. I really didn’t know the defensive end position very well com-ing into Iowa State. I credit everything to coach Bray and his coaching skills.”

Bray is survived by his wife, Heather, a daughter, Sydney, and a son, Colden Charles.

layup despite being fouled and scored the ensuing free throw.

“I really think we just got comfortable, a little relaxed,” Lawrence said. “And when you get relaxed, good teams will knock down shots on you and I think that’s what let them back into the game. They executed really well, knocked down their open shots and before you knew it, they were back in it.”

With the score tied at 56, Wilds aggressively attacked the hoop. But his shot bounced harshly off the rim.

Junction City senior Ja’Male Morrow appeared out of nowhere, his head high above any Trojan in the area.

He caught the ball in midair and redirected it back toward the hoop where it floated through

the net.“My role in this game is to

crash the boards, that’s what my coaches always tell me,” Morrow said. “And they came through and gave me good advice today. I crashed the boards and it happened to put us in a tie and we end up winning the game.”

The Trojans sank a 3-pointer on their next trip to set up Wilds’ last second hero-ics.

will be in for a much more physical tilt.“They’re big,

they’re wide, they’re long, (and)

they’re strong,” Bat-tle said about Man-hattan. “It won’t be

60-59, I think it’s a game that’s going to play right in the 40s

and quite honestly, I’m okay with that, that’s where I want to live with this team.”

The Indians (5-2, 2-1) lost at Hayden (2-4, 2-2) Tuesday night 54-46.

But the Blue Jays still know it will take their best to top their bitter rivals.

“Since it’s the majority of us older guys (on the team), we’re going to come out with our hearts out, leave it all out on the court and whatever hap-pens, happens,” Johnson said. “It’s definitely going to be an emotional game. Going into it, we’re definitely very, very mentally prepared.”

and she has a pretty good basketball IQ for only being a freshman. But when you’re trying to close out a game, that’s when a fresh-man shows her true colors also, so that’s why I think she kind of went away in the second half.”

Junction City played most of the game in a 2-3 zone to prevent the 5’11” Madden from creating too much damage inside.

With 15 points, Madden proved while she can be contained, she couldn’t be stopped.

While the team collapsed on Madden, it left Topeka’s Ashanti Smith open on the perimeter. Smith hit three shots from downtown to stretch the Blue Jays zone.

“I think what they need as a team is we always want to try and make the players who haven’t proven them-selves, prove themselves,” Parks said. “So it kind of shot us in the foot because Smith did knock some shots down. I’ll try to take her not having a career night over letting their proven scorers get to the basket.”

Rains, along with senior Kori Kamm, shouldered the Blue Jays the rest of the game.

Kamm scored nine points in the second half and Rains drained a pair of 3-pointers in the final period as they

tied for the team lead with 10 points apiece.

“I think we realized we had a chance to win this and if we didn’t take it to them, then it wasn’t going to happen,” Kamm said.

Junction City hosts Man-hattan (6-1, 3-0) Friday.

The Indians slipped past Hayden (5-1, 3-1) 51-49 Tuesday night.

Parks said the key to upsetting Manhattan will be a fast start.

“We definitely have a chance to beat Manhat-tan,” Kamm said. “We match up with them better this year than we have in a long time. We just have to come in hard and not have a slow start like we did tonight. We have to come out of the gates ready.”

Greg Oden returnsAssociated Press

WASHINGTON — Greg Oden played in his first NBA regular-season game in more than four years Wednesday night, coming off the bench in the second quarter of the Miami Heat’s game against the Washington Wizards.

Wearing No. 20 and with both knees heavily wrapped, Oden entered with 6:03 remaining in the first half and made an immediate impact: He had an offensive rebound, a dunk and a foul in his first 30 seconds.

By halftime, Oden had two dunks, two free throws and a pair of rebounds. The Heat were getting blown out when he stepped on the floor, but he helped trim a 34-point deficit

to 21 at halftime.Oden started the second

half — he said it was to keep him from getting stiff — and played four more minutes before sitting for good. His final line: eight minutes, six points, two rebounds, 2 for 3 from the field and 2 for 2 from the free-throw line in a 114-97 loss.

“I had no idea he was play-ing, actually, until he was getting dressed and I saw he had his knee brace on,” teammate LeBron James said. “I was like, ‘Oh, you active?’ And he was like, ‘Yeah,’ so I was very excited.” ... Obviously in a short amount of minutes tonight he was pretty good for us.”
