Helping out one of their own

My Christmas wish is ...
Just the clich peace on earth and good will to all. But if I listen closely to my wish, then I know that I have to be the change that I want to see in the world. I have to advocate for peace; I have to model good will. I have to do everything I can to make a difference here and now.

That we reach out to family, friends, those in need, and particularly, those who are lonely and depressed during the holiday season. Vickie Bobbitt Executive Director, I.C.A.R.E.

Shadd Snyder is known to his fellow Junction City firefighters as a selfless, dedicated person. So when 70 percent of his familys home in Enterprise was lost in a fire Dec. 19, the 16-year Junction City Fire Department veteran didnt have to wait long before receiving offers to help in any way possible. Just 30 minutes after the fire started, JCFD Lt. Matt Raub drove from his home in Abilene to pick up the Snyders four adopted children to provide them a place to stay for the night. For Raub, the 20-minute drive was nothing to help his friend. Id have driven further if I had to, he said Sunday. As firemen, thats what we do we go help people. That night, Raub texted others who gladly wanted to lend a hand. I knew if I contacted a couple people, I could get things rolling a little faster, he said. The Snyders need was clear. Nobody was injured in the fire, but the kids and Shadds mother lost almost all of their belongings. The JCFD and others have come together to help the Snyders through the holiday season. Its been an overwhelming blessing, Snyder said. The brotherhood from the fire department has been amazing. Raub said the firefighters consider themselves family. The guys who are on our shift, were all like brothers here, he said. Snyders department brothers now have begun organizing citywide support for the family. Because of Snyders insurance, the family has a place to stay. Please see Helping, 9A

For all of us to take pause and remember the five Fort Riley soldiers we lost last week. Their supreme sacrifice reminds us that freedom isnt free. My heart is with the families. A brother, dad, husband, will not be coming home. This Christmas will be forever in the minds of their families and not for the joyous occasion it should have been. I thank those soldiers and their families for your supreme sacrifice so I can enjoy my freedom and celebrate the holidays with my family.

Sunset Motel running out of daylight

GRANDVIEW PLAZA The drama regarding the fate of the Sunset Motel continues. Last month, Pamela Hamilton was given 30 days to demolish the property. Grandview Plaza City Council members approved a res-
olution to do so because its deemed as a unsafe or dangerous structure. But the building still is standing. Last week, Hamilton expressed the snags she has run into with trying to find the right contractor to receive a permit from the city. Im asking for an extension to find out what Im not doing right,
Hamilton said. She recently was given another 60 days and permission to knock it down. It should be done in a timely manner, City Councilman Robert Rodney said of the razing. To receive a permit, Fire Chief and Public Works Director Jerome Thomas said she has to show the city proof of licensed contractor
for insurance purposes, related to liability and safety. If a cat runs in there and someone goes in to get it, and it falls down on top of them, someone is going to get sued, Thomas said as an example. That request also includes providing large containers to haul off the debris. The next step would involve
taking her to court for owning a public nuisance. City Attorney Roger Unruh said it would benefit the city if Hamilton handles the task to tear the facility down, because a resolution states that the city would have to act, if she does not reply. City council members discussed two bids. Both were for Please see Motel, 9A

SFL regional director promotes program

B Y JESSICA H EALEY
1st Infantry Division Public Affairs

Once a soldier, always a soldier is the heart of the Soldier For Life initiative, which transitioning soldiers and members of command teams learned about during a Dec. 11 visit from the regional director of the program. Lt. Col. Allan H. Lanceta, director, U.S. Central Region, Soldier for Life, spoke about the program Dec. 10 and 11 at Fort Riley. The reality is that soldiers are going to transition out of the Army, and we have to take care of those soldiers, Lanceta said. The purpose of the Soldier for Life program is to enable the Army, government and local communities to facilitate the successful reintegration of soldiers, veterans and family members to keep them Army strong and instill what the Army has taught them into their new communities. The primary goal of the program is to make sure soldiers who are separating from the Army have a job to go to right away. The Army has taught you a skill, Lanceta told the audience. We want to make sure you use that skill and stay a soldier for life. The need for such a program became evident when unemployment rates for separated soldiers began to rise sharply, he said. We want them to have stability in the long term, not just for the two years they can collect unemployment. If they can get a job right off the bat, then they will have that stability for life. Thats what were trying to give back to them, Lanceta said. One company commander in attendance said he was excited to learn about what the program has to offer.
Members of the Flint Hills Regional Leadership Program class of 2013-2014 visited Fort Riley Dec. 19 to get an overview of the installation, learn about the Regionally Aligned Forces mission with Africa Command and tour the Regional Training Campus.

Soldiers take plunge at Scuba with Santa event

B Y JULIE F IEDLER

Whether flying high above rooftops in the chill of winter or swimming underwater, Santa Claus is comfortable just about anywhere, or so it seemed as Old St. Nick posed for photos with Soldiers and Families during Scuba with Santa Dec. 14 at Eyster Pool. This is so neat, said Fawn Sternberg, military spouse, who brought her three children to the event to get their photo taken with Santa. Its really unique. For Sternberg, the event provided her family with something fun to do while her husband is deployed, she said.
Photos taken during the event were emailed to family members, and Sternberg said she was looking forward to sending the photo along to her husband as a way to share the holidays with him, even from afar. Photos were taken above and below water, depending on each familys preference. Spc. Chane Nohr, Special Troops Battalion, 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, said he liked having the option to pose for a photo above water to accommodate his 2-year-old son, Connor. Were trying to teach him (to swim), Chane said. Hes been in (the water) before.
Connors mother, Sarah, said they wanted to have a fun, funny photo for the holidays. For those wishing to get underwater photos, timing the plunge on the count of one and smiling on three could get tricky. Several families had to do more than one take to get that special shot, as it was difficult for some to coordinate having everyone submerged at one time before resurfacing. Families also could try out scuba gear alongside scuba instructors, certified by the Professional Association of Diving Instructors, and enjoy cookies and other refreshments during the event. Hedy Noveroske, event organizer and swimming program manager,
Fort Riley Aquatics, Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation, said she was very appreciative of all of the volunteers who helped make the event happen. We would definitely like to give a huge shout out and thank you to Jeff Freeborn and Trey Green from Flatland Divers, out of Abilene, Karl Ryan from Salina, and Tammy Hawk from Kansas City, for donating their time and services for making this special and unique (DFMWR) event a wonderful underwater experience for our Fort Riley family members and Fort Riley Aquatics program, Noveroske said.
ACS Lending Closet gives a helping dish

B Y JESSICA H EALEY

Army Families often move many times. Making that transition from one post to the next can be a challenge, but there is a service at Fort Riley that helps makes the process a little easier to bear. Army Community Services Lending Closet can provide temporary house-
hold items Soldiers and families might need while their household goods are being packed up or awaiting arrival at their new duty station. This is a cost-savings benefit. Without it, you would have to go buy new stuff until your household goods arrive, and why do that if you have good dishes coming? said Becky Willis, Army Volunteer Corps coordinator, ACS, Directorate of
Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation. The Lending Closet is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays and is located at ACS, 7264 Normandy Drive. No appointment is necessary. ACS staff does prefer for Lending Closet customers to arrive by 3:30 p.m. in order to complete the necessary paperwork, she said, which includes an agreement form to return or replace bor-
rowed items. Although the lending closet was created with moving in mind, Willis said, it can be utilized for just about any reason household items are needed on a shortterm basis, like family or friends visiting for the holidays or if the toaster suddenly breaks. Additionally, dish packs are kept ready to go by ACS staff. The packs include dishes and eating utensils for six
people, as well as baking dishes, pots and pans, cooking utensils and basic kitchen items needed for food preparation. Pack-and-Play portable cribs, high chairs and car seats also are available for babies and toddlers, as well as toasters, crock pots, coffee makers, irons and ironing boards. Sleeping cots and folding tables can be checked out as well.

Indonesia warns local chief who blocked airport

By The Associated Press
JAKARTA, Indonesia The Indonesian government has warned a district chief after he forced an eastern airport to close temporarily because he failed to get a ticket on a fully booked flight, officials said Monday. Marianus Sae, chief of Ngada district in East Nusatenggara province, ordered dozens of city security officers to block the runway of Turarelo airport on Flores island on Saturday, forcing a Merpati Nusantara Airlines plane to fly back to Kupang, the provincial capital. Sae, who was in Kupang and intended to return home, had been denied a ticket for the fully booked flight, said Bambang Ervan, the Transport Ministrys spokesman. Ervan said officers blocked the runway for more than two hours by parking their vehicles on the runway. His act was unlawful and could harm the safety of flight and passengers, he said, Airport is a vital facility that should not be disturbed for any reason. Ervan said the issue has been resolved amicably. Sae admitted Monday in an interview with TVOne that he ordered the blockade because of disappointment at the airlines service when he was in a hurry to attend an urgent session on the budget with the local council. The airline has hampered my state duty as the government official, it should be a lesson for its management, he said.
Kenyans arrive back home after being evacuated from Juba Sunday in South Sudan by the Kenyan Air Force, at Wilson Airport in Nairobi, Kenya.
Associated Press
Canadians, Brits still in South Sudan city

that have literally walked into the bush and are communicating from there. Thats where they say they are safest. Bor is the city where rebel forces fired on three U.S. military aircraft on Saturday, forcing the Ospreys advanced helicopter-airplane hybrids to abort their evacuation mission. On Sunday the U.S. evacuated Americans by civilian U.S. and U.N. helicopters. The U.S. over the last week has evacuated 380 Americans and 300 others from South Sudan, which has seen vicious, ethnically targeted violence pulse through the nation. Lanzer, who spent the weekend in Bor, said the city is experiencing tense, sporadic clashes and fairly consistent gunfire and heavy machine gunfire. South Sudan forces are advancing toward Bor, the capital of Jonglei state, but have not yet confronted forces that defected and pledged allegiance to the former vice president, said South Sudan military spokesman Col. Philip Aguer. The violence began late on Dec. 15. South Sudan President Salva Kiir, an ethnic Dinka, has said an attempted military coup triggered the violence, and the blame was placed on former Vice President Riek Machar, an ethnic Nuer. Other officials have since said a fight between Dinka and Nuer presidential guards triggered the fighting. New fighting was reported Sunday night in Upper Nile, one of South Sudans two oil-rich states. Warrior Security, a private company, reported on Monday the deaths of 20 people in Nasir County in a dispute involving Machar supporters. Doctors Without Borders said it received 24 gunshot victims at its medical facility. Col. Philip Aguer, South Sudans military spokesman, said elsewhere in the state that civilians who had been told their relatives were killed in Juba tried to mete out mob justice. Warrior Security said ethnic Dinkas were attacked and killed. Aguer said he did not have a death toll. Analysts have suggested that a tribal militia known as the White Army from the Lou Nuer ethnic group is moving toward Bor, which is populated by Dinkas. Lanzer said he couldnt say anything with precision about those reports. Aguer said he has no confirmation on militia movements but that community leaders are trying to persuade the Lou Nuer not to become involved. Everybody knows that Bor is a strategic location, Lanzer said. It would be difficult for me to imagine a scenario in which Bor is completely calm and safe over the coming days, he said, adding that he thinks violence could become very heavy, the reason the U.N. is fortifying its position there. The U.S. over the weekend deployed about 46 troops to help evacuate American citizens. That was in addition to 45 troops sent to the capital, Juba, last week to protect the U.S. Embassy. Four U.S. troops were wounded in the evacuation attempt Saturday. Obama over the weekend sent a letter to congressional leaders letting them know he may take further military action in South Sudan to protect U.S. citizens, personnel and property. The central government acknowledged on Sunday it has lost control of Bentiu, the capital of Unity, and the surrounding oil fields. Oil fields in the countrys Upper Nile state are still controlled by the central government, Aguer said. East African leaders are pushing diplomatic efforts to avoid a full-blown civil war. Obamas U.S. envoy is also headed toward the region. South Sudan experienced decades of war with Sudan, which it peacefully broke away from in 2011.
NAIROBI, Kenya British, Canadian and Kenyan citizens are among 3,000 foreigners trapped in a South Sudan city experiencing bouts of heavy machine gun fire, one of the most violent areas of a weeklong conflict that has likely killed more than 1,000 people, a top U.N. official said Monday. Australians, Ugandans and Ethiopians are also among 17,000 people seeking protection at a U.N. base in Bor, a city that could see increased violence in coming days, said Toby Lanzer, the U.N.s humanitarian coordinator. The death toll from a week of violence in South Sudan has likely surpassed 1,000 people, though there are no firm numbers available, he said. The number of internal refugees is probably more than 100,000, said Lanzer, who is seeking urgent financial assistance from the U.S., Britain and other European countries. I know there are many thousands of people seeking protection in churches, Lanzer said. I know that we have our own staff

From the editors desk

They are vivid memories ones I wont ever forget. It was Christmas Eve in 2011, just weeks after Lake Genevas Sal Dimiceli was so deservingly honored as a CNN Hero finalist. For years, I had known this amazing man and the tremendous work he and his organization, The Time is Now to Help, did to aid children, elderly and others all year round. However, I wanted to see firsthand his efforts. So, that day, we traveled around the county, making stops along the way. At every turn, there were families telling Sal of their troubles and sad stories. Since I was there, L ISA I heard them, too. S EISER They knew by the tears in Sals eyes that his heart was full of compassion. In his hand, he had a check that helped them pay the rent, buy groceries, keep the heat on or some gift cards for the kids. After hugs and warm wishes, we left their homes. While on the way to the next stop, he and I talked more about that familys battle. It was an eye-opening experience and a reminder that when you have the opportunity to help someone, dont let it slip away. We may never know when that sad story is ours and we need the help. That afternoon with Sal was an inspiration on so many levels. In his CNN Hero speech, he said, this award is for the true heroes, the hungry children, the forgotten elderly, the neglected veterans and handicapped and the working poor I meet every day. He helps more than 500 people each year and during the speech, he asked that we all help him, too. Between the Daily Union, several of our readers and the Junction City Chamber of Commerce, we were able to help four singlemother families this holiday season. My Christmas wish is for those struggling families to forget for one day their troubles and enjoy the magic of the holiday season. By the looks on their faces Saturday, upon delivery of the wrapped toys for the kids and gift cards for the mothers, that wish already has come true.
Compassion to help others an inspiration

More security at statehouse

MARTIN HAWVER
Commentary for security breaches. So, thats a group that didnt get what it wanted for Christmas ... and probably wont until House Speaker Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell, takes over as Coordinating Council chairman in 2014. We dont know what will happen if lobbyists dont get an express lane for clearing security in a hurry. They might not have time to take legislators to lunch ... But the Christmas surprise that most of us are waiting to observe will be the red sport coats that ultra-conservative Tea Party members are likely to get for Christmas and wear to the Statehouse. The concept is fairly simple, as expressed at a Tea Party meeting last month: If political conservatives wear red sport coats, legislators will be looking out at the audience in committee rooms and see that if they dont vote conservative ... those red blazer wearers are going to notice and report them back to their home districts. The ultra-conservatives have a relatively novel idea: Make legislators know that they are being watched. Were guessing those who get red sport coats under the holiday tree know the Christmas song: We know when youve been sleeping, we know when youre awake, we know if youve been bad or good, so vote conservative, for goodness sake! Us Statehouse folk whose coats tend to be camel or blue or even a few wayward plaids will be watching Christmas-fresh red sport coats to show up here when the Legislature convenes and to see which legislators tend to vote more conservatively when the room is awash with those eyecatching coats. What we dont know for sure and are anxious to see is whether those folks who get red sport coats for Christmas will get the red slacks to go with them

Union.
e folk who inhabit the Statehouse even when theres not much going on are wondering what well see in the post-Christmas holiday hallways of the newly refurbished State Capitol. Were figuring that lobbyists who are Statehouse regulars already are aware that they didnt get the gift theyve been wanting: The privilege of scooching past the security gates to save time when they whistle into the building to do their lobbying duties. Theyll stand in line like nearly everyone else to get their packages and brief cases inspected and walk through the metal detectors to go about their business. The Legislative Coordinating Council, which manages about everything that goes on in the Statehouse, didnt last week go for a proposal for some special ID tag for registered lobbyists so they dont have to stand behind the visiting third-grade class as its members are put through the security check or the delegates from the American Association of Retired Persons as they are checked. Were figuring, though, that many of the in-a-hurry lobbyists the boys at leastwill not grouse about delays if they are in line behind the visiting college cheerleaders as they are inspected

Letter to the editor
To the Editor:
Resident expresses concerns
d like to express a couple of concerns. Like many others, I am very disappointed that we will not have the beautiful light display in our city park. People from many other Kansas cities have made so many compliments and positive comments on our beautiful light display. A bunch of Christmas displays just doesnt project that magical feeling which those sparking lights do. Bringing new businesses to our town would be great, but it isnt the only thing that will improve our city. Other things bring people to our fair city. We need exposure from other cities, but its difficult to measure how much those places do that. We often go to Abilene. They have a lot of neat stories, especially antique stores and specialty shops. Clay Center also has neat stores and Wamego, Alma and many more. We need that here. It would be great if some entity
like the Chamber of Commerce or the Convention and Visitors Bureau could do this for our community. Heres hoping that someone will be our Santa Claus. Another concern is the Opera House. Im happy our new city manager has seen the potential that the Opera House has. I know Junction City is buried in debt, but the financial manager, city manager and city commission have done an excellent job at managing funds and reducing the debt. If we allow Junction City to just dry up, it could end up a ghost town. We need attractions here and the Opera House is a great one. Last, but not least, Im concerned about Junction Citys Animal Shelter. The Friends of the Animals have done and outstanding job in saving dogs to include finding them homes. They even transport them to places out of state. This is wonderful. However, there seems not to be as much concern for cats and kittens. I have heard that the kill rate is fairly high. We need to do our best to save them. A cat can be as faithful as a dog and they are much more self sufficient. What day we do to save the cats that have been dumped, ignored and abused?
Let airlines decide on cell phone use

A
The following editorial appeared in Newsday on Wednesday, Dec. 18:
s if bawling babies, sardine-tin seating and jammed overhead bins arent enough, modern air travel may soon include the joys of incessant, inane prattle of passengers on cell phones. The Federal Communications Commission is poised to change its rules to clear the way for airlines to allow fliers to talk on cell phones above 10,000 feet. If theres no safety or technical reason to continue the ban, then the FCC should end it. But air carriers should tread carefully in deciding whether to allow cell conversations; the public opposes them 2 to 1, according to recent polling. Air travelers already can use Wi-Fi devices above 10,000 feet to surf, text and check email. And in October the Federal Aviation Administration lifted its ban on tablets, e-readers and smart phones used in airplane mode during takeoffs and landings to read, play games, watch movies or listen to music. Voice calls are the final frontier. Theyve been banned because phones trying to connect to cell towers on the ground while hurtling through the sky could strain cellular networks and interfere with terrestrial transmissions. Technology on planes to prevent interference is in use in other countries. So there may be no reason to continue the ban. If its lifted, the Federal Aviation Administration could decide to continue banning calls. If not, then airlines would be freed to decide whether to allow them. Thats the right approach. Air carriers should try various approaches and let consumers decide which they prefer. Some could allow unrestricted voice calls. Others might limit calls to 30 minutes before landing, or after announcements of flight delays, so fliers could call people meeting the flight. Segregated seating (chatterboxes in back, please) is another possibility. So is banning all calls. Any carrier that greenlights calls should offer noise-canceling headphones for fliers looking to escape the din. If not, theres a market solution for that, too. Psst ... headphones! Getcher headphones here!

Convicted Kansas child molester gets new trial
From around Kansas

reporter failed, records said. We simply cannot ascertain what the basis of the trial courts ruling was, and we therefore cannot ascertain whether the trial court abused its discretion, Justice Eric Rosen wrote for the unanimous court. This is not the fault of the trial court or the parties; it is the consequence of a rare breakdown in the transcription process coupled with the absence of any meaningful recollection of the motion arguments and, more importantly, the basis of the motions resolution. cate or credential or an associates or bachelors degree by 2020. Regent Ed McKechnie said he would prefer it if the Legislature were to adopt a state law along the lines of the Foresight 2020 plan. Such a law would have more force than a resolution, McKechnie said. Regent Chairman Fred Logan said he believes theres interest among some legislative leaders for a resolution, which expresses the sentiment of the Legislature although does not have the force of law. Conservative Republicans leaders in the Legislature and higher education officials have been battling over funding. Republicans approved $34.3 million in cuts to public universities and Gov. Sam Brownback signed those reductions into law.
KU researcher takes cancer fight to urban churches
TOPEKA The Kansas Supreme Court has ordered a retrial for a man serving a life sentence for abusing a child. The Supreme Court ruled Friday that Derek John Holt, who was convicted of indecent liberties with a child in Bourbon County in southeast Kansas five years ago, will get the new trial because a court reporter failed to record critical parts of his first trial, The Wichita Eagle reported. Holt is serving a sentence of life without the possibility of parole for 25 years under a 2006 Kansas statute that toughened penalties for sex offenders whose victims are children. Richard Ney, the Wichita defense lawyer who argued Holts appeal, said that in more than three decades practicing criminal law he cant remember seeing a case where the trial record was so spotty that it had to be retried. Something of this nature is almost unheard of, he said. Ney said while its not unusual for bits of testimony to be missed in a transcript, Holts was missing all of the lawyers arguments and judges ruling on key issues in the case, including the denial of a defense request to have the alleged victim undergo a psychological evaluation. Holts defense sought the evaluation because of inconsistencies in the girls statements and concern that her testimony may have either been coached or part of a dream. The girl was 3 when the crime is alleged to have occurred and 5 when it went to trial. The Supreme Court ruled that Holts request was critical to the defense. But the justices said they didnt have enough transcript to decide if the judge erred in denying the request. Efforts by the court to track down the
Two dead at Shawnee home

SHAWNEE Police in suburban Kansas City say two people have been found dead in an apparent murder-suicide. The Kansas City Star reports police called to the home in Shawnee on Sunday night found the two bodies inside the house. Police said both people had been shot and that one persons wounds appeared to be self-inflicted. Both people lived at the residence. Their names were being withheld until family could be notified.
Labor chief to be wind group spokeswoman

OLATHE Former Kansas Labor Secretary Karin Brownlee has been named by a group of business and civic leaders as the spokeswoman for its efforts to promote wind energy. Kansans for Wind Energy says Brownlee will travel across the state to meet with grassroots supporters. The groups director, Richard Martin, praised Brownlee as a conservative with a reputation for bridge-building. Brownlee served in Gov. Sam Brownbacks Cabinet in 2011 and 2012, and the administration touted her efforts to streamline the Department of Labor. But she left shortly after that, saying she was forced out in a disagreement over how to measure the agencys performance. Brownlee, an Olathe (ohLAY-thuh) Republican, served in the state Senate from 1997 through 2010. She was chairing the Senate Commerce Committee when she joined Brownbacks administration.
LAWRENCE A University of Kansas researcher is studying the effectiveness of using urban churches to fight colorectal cancer. Assistant professor Crystal Lumpkins and her colleagues have met with more than 130 pastors and congregants of urban churches in Kansas City, Kan., and Kansas City, Mo., as part of a five-year, $600,000 National Cancer Institute grant. They found that pastors were willing to include health information as part of their mission. But they indicated that they hadnt thought about becoming the primary source of colorectal cancer prevention information for their congregation before the study. The mortality rate for colorectal cancer among African-Americans is disproportionately high, and many participants in the study were unaware of its risks and symptoms. Participants also reported distrust of the medical profession and barriers to health care.
ing the school fostered a culture of abuse. Lawyers for St. Johns Military School in Salina argue in a recent filing the defense would be harmed by failure to hold 11 separate trials. The motion contends each ex-cadets claims are unique, and that a jury weighing all the claims in a single trial could get confused. Attorneys for the plaintiffs say the schools attempt to pursue 11 trials would result in protracted litigation, with similar witnesses and documents throughout. They argue a jury must hear about all of the alleged abuse to decide on punitive damages. The lawsuit alleges the school encouraged higherranking students to discipline younger ones, leading to abuse. Trial is set for March.

Winter weather and icy road conditions on Interstate 70 caused a series of accidents Saturday afternoon, the first of which resulting in injuries. The Geary County Sheriffs Department responded to the first accident at 2:56 p.m. near I-70 westbound mile marker 293 after a 2002 Jeep driven by Ryan Cook of Parker, Colo., slid on a patch of ice, went off the road and rolled over in the median. Junction City Fire Department and EMS personnel transported Cook and passenger Josh Cook to Geary Community Hospital. At about the same time as the first accident, a three-car accident occurred with no injuries in the same area on I-70. Sheriffs Department deputies reported a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee driven by Megan Copher of Andover was stopped in the inside lane because of the first accident. A 2012 Ford Fusion driven by Chirage Rovelia of Colby was stopped behind Cophers Jeep. While those vehicles were stopped, a 2008 Honda Accord driven by Jessica Fredrickson was unable to stop in time and struck Rovelias vehicle, which then struck Cophers. All three drivers were able to remove their cars from the scene. The third accident occurred when a 2009 Pontiac G6 driven by Kelsie Corbet was unable to stop and struck a 2006 Lincoln LS driven by Jack Ronen of Olathe. Ronens vehicle was stopped in the inside lanes for the two previous accidents. Both vehicles had to be towed from the scene.

Drunk dancer gets dumped
7A
Dennis the Menace
Marmaduke
Dear Annie: Im a 26-yearold female and have been engaged to a wonderful man for the past year. We had plans to marry after he graduates in June with his masters degree. The problem started when on several occasions my girlfriends and I went out to the bars and danced until the wee hours. During one of those nights, I had a few too many drinks and ended up kissing one of the guys I was dancing with. My fiance found out about it from a mutual friend, and now he wants to break off our engagement. He feels this was cheating and that I have betrayed his trust. Is this cheating, or is he being unreasonable? Heartbroken Dear Heartbroken: While it may not be as serious as sleeping with another guy, that kiss was still a betrayal. And if you enjoy going out to bars in order to dance with other guys and drink so much that you cannot control your behavior, it doesnt sound as if you are ready to get married. Imagine how you would feel if your fiance behaved this way. You owe him a sincere apology and a promise to curtail your drinking. We hope he is willing to give you another chance. But if you cannot understand or admit that your behavior was inappropriate, please let him find someone else who shares his values. Dear Annie: I am a woman in my 60s and have been married to my second husband for more than a year. We are both widowed. I have one married daughter, and my husband has two sons, one of whom is married. Our marriage is wonderful. The problem is my husbands 28-year-old daughterin-law. She is overweight, and her skin sags everywhere. You can see her backside, and her pants are very low in the front, so her stomach hangs over. You can tell her to pull up her pants, but she claims she is in style. She apparently doesnt dress like this in front of her parents. What should be done? Patty in Peoria Dear Patty: By you? Nothing. She is not your child and apparently is disinclined to listen to your opinion about her appearance. If you invite her to a place with a dress code, inform her what that is. But if you criticize the way she dresses, she could start

avoiding you, creating all sorts of problems between your husband and his son. Please tolerate what you can. Dear Annie: I feel moved to respond to the letter from Betrayed, whose husband refuses to have sex but watches plenty of porn. There are always two sides to every story. My wife and I have been married for 16 years. While we were dating, she was sexually aggressive, experimental, provocative and playful. Now the story is different. Of course, with the children around, sex requires planning. But when I began going to bed early, she started going to bed late. When I went to bed late, as instructed, she went to bed early and wasnt in the mood. Sessions with three different psychologists ended the same way. In each case, she said, I dont want to go back. I am being picked on. Ive tried asking what I can do differently to make her happy, but she has no suggestions. Now she finds fault with everything I do. Two years ago, I developed erectile dysfunction. The prescription drugs work fine, but her lack of interest means the last bottle of Viagra remains untouched. Pornography is evil and disgusting and is certainly no answer. But I have no other answers. Life is complex, and sometimes you limp along as best you can. T.

Horoscope
ARIES (March 21April 19). When you think of an event as large and important, you show up looking as you want to be seen. Its the nonevents that show you exactly as you are, and thats the way they love you most. TAURUS (April 20May 20). As the sign of the bull, you know that those who take life by the horns put themselves in a dangerous position. You respond best to those who lead with enticements instead of trying to use force. GEMINI (May 21June 21). Youre certain, confident and unlikely to make mistakes. What you do, you do with purpose. Your first order of business is to make someone very, very happy. CANCER (June 22July 22). Anyone who is as good of a listener as you are is bound to get mixed messages from time to time. Youll unify information into one crystalclear intention thats best for all involved. LEO (July 23Aug. 22). Dont worry about coming up with some positive thoughts and ideas to guide you into an enhanced experience. Getting the old ideas out is the real challenge. Once you do that, new ideas come rushing in. VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22). The day may feel like a train ride its going 50 mph, and when it stops, youll be at your destination. As for the ride itself, it feels very similar to the experience of sitting still. LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 23). Avoid overthinking the many details involved now, as this only will serve to diminish your enjoyment. To stay merry, focus on the bigger picture, continuing to think in terms of what youve done and can do for others. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Youll see your opportunity and know at a deep and basic level that you have to go for it. You have a healthy respect for the dangers involved, but that wont keep you from taking a risk. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). The person you think of as a friend or relation thinks of you as competition. You can still have a healthy relationship, but first you may have to make it clear that youre not interested in the game. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Before you declare something damaged beyond repair, try again to make it right. Start by assuming its not broken to begin with and that it just needs to be put together the right way. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Loved ones need your wisdom. Tell them that being aware of a problem is the first step toward making it better, but not if theyre just going to complain about it. Urge them to work together. PISCES (Feb. 19March 20). It may seem that your goals are slipping away, but this is just a matter of perspective. Have faith that all is on track and inching slowly forward. Youll notice the progress days from now.

Heavy snow hits the city US consumer spending

FROM PAGE ONE/NEWS
rose 0.5 percent in November

est wage gains have boosted consumer confidence and given Americans more money to spend. At the same time, higher stock and home prices have driven up household wealth and made some people more comfortable about spending. The big rise in spending and smaller income gain meant that the personal saving rate slipped a bit to 4.2 percent of after-tax income in November. That was down from 4.5 percent in October. An inflation gauge tied to consumer spending that is closely followed by the Federal Reserve showed that inflation is still running well below the Feds target. Prices were unchanged in November and have risen just 0.9 percent over the past 12 months. The Feds target for annual inflation is 2 percent. The economy, as measured by the gross domestic product, grew at an annual rate of 4.1 percent in the July-September quarter, the government said Friday in its third and

WASHINGTON Americans increased their spending in November by the most in five months, and their income edged up modestly. Consumer spending rose 0.5 percent from October, when spending had risen 0.4 percent, the Commerce Department said Monday. It was the best showing since June. The gain was driven by a jump in spending on long-lasting durable goods such as autos. Consumers income rose 0.2 percent, an improvement from a 0.1 percent decline in October. Wages and salaries, the most important component of income, rose a solid 0.4 percent. That gain reflected strength in the private sector and a modest gain in government pay. Consumer spending is closely followed because it accounts for about 70 percent of economic activity. The strong November showing suggests solid economic growth this quarter. Steady hiring and mod-
final estimate. The governments figure was up from its previous estimate of a 3.6 percent annual growth rate for the third quarter. Nearly all of the upward revision reflected faster spending for consumers, a possible sign of momentum entering the final three months of the year. The 4.1 percent growth rate in the third quarter was the best performance in nearly two years. It was only the second time since the economic recovery began in mid-2009 that annual growth in any quarter has topped 4 percent. Economists caution that growth will likely slow in the October-December period. Thats because two-fifths of last quarters gain came from an unusually large buildup in business stockpiles something not likely to be repeated this quarter. Analysts were encouraged by the acceleration in spending in the third quarter and say rising job growth could fuel more spending in the months ahead.
Grant would help fund pedestrian path

B Y T IM WEIDEMAN
city.beat@thedailyunion.net
State funds could help construct a $2 million, 10-foot wide bicycle and pedestrian pathway along K-18 from Wildcat Lane to Rucker Road. The Junction City Commission is hopeful that project would piggyback on the Kansas Department of Transportations US-77 improvements, which include work on the K-18 interchange and the Spring Valley Road intersection. Earlier this week, the commission approved another attempt to receive state funds through a grant. The citys application for the grant in 2012 and 2013 was unsuccessful. The grant program is
very competitive, Municipal Services Director Greg McCaffery said during the meeting. KDOT officials didnt believe there was enough public support for the project. That was one of the primary criteria that we were graded poorly on when we submitted the project (application), McCaffery said. City staff members have taken up a grassroots effort to increase support for the project among residents. A petition started by staff now has signatures from about 200 citizens. Residents who would see the most immediate benefits would be students walking on the path from Junction City Middle School.
Some students currently walk along K-18 before and after school, which Vice Mayor Pat Landes said must be considered. There may not be a lot of them, because it is very dangerous, but it is extremely unsafe, he said. The path also would make Helland Park more accessible to pedestrians and bicyclists. Were really trying to tire some rather unique facilities in the city together, McCaffery said. The cost to construct the path is estimated to be $2 million. If the city receives the grant, it would be responsible for 20 percent ($404,781) of those costs. The city also would have to pay for all design costs, which have been estimated at $252,988.
Commissioner Mick McCallister said the path would be worth the cost. Were going to spend a lot of money for a dozen pedestrians going up and down that road, he said. And thats OK because its a safety issue. The project would be
broken up into phases. If approved, design work could begin next year and construction could finish by 2017. Junction City would pay for the phases separately. In 2014, the citys share would be about $138,000. The city could know if it
will be awarded the grant in June or July. McCaffery told the commission there still would be additional steps to take if the city receives the grant. Itll come back to you many times before the projects phases begin, he said.

more than $9,000. Prior to November, Hamilton received a 30-day extension to come up with a financial plan to rehabilitate the building. Originally, Hamilton wanted to turn the
building into a nonprofit organization and shelter called Pamelas Helping Hands. Hamilton was unable to satisfy the City Councils request, which included upgrades to the building. A few of them were an integrated fire alarm system and sprinkler system and carpentry. The building was damaged by a fire in the summer. they have received from all who have helped.

Much of his and his wifes belongings were salvageable. However, the children three boys and a girl whose ages range from seven to 12 years old lost all their toys, clothes and beds. One of the firefighters Raub texted the night of the fire, Nick Nutter, is working to help gather toys for the children to open on Christmas morning. I figured that was one of the quick things I could do to help, Nutter said. The worst parts the timing and hes done so much for those kids. Shadds mothers room was where much of the fire was located. She, too, lost everything she had to her name. Since the Snyders need much more than toys, both JCFD fire stations still are accepting donations of clothes and cash. Many people have supported the effort, not just those at the fire department. A lot of the guys at the police department have donated stuff, Nutter
said. A lot of the other tight-knit groups. The Junction City-area community also is welcome to help. Snyder said he and his family are humbled and grateful for all the support

I try not to be a Grinch when it comes to the holiday season, but I freely admit that I think Christmas has become over-commercialized. Christmas music should not be played before Thanksgiving (there are approximately five songsand they get repetitive extremely fast). The same ame rules apply for house and office decorations, advertisements or holiday movies on television. This doesnt mean I hate the holiday season, as a matter of fact I really appreciate it because it is a chance to get together as a family. But here Im going E THAN to be the selfish jerk P ADWAY I so-much loathe and say these are my main hopes for the sports realm in 2014. Call it a wish list or whatever we want but at the end of the day, this list is about me. Selfish, right? First, be it Santa, Oden, Clthutu or wherever you, the reader, send your list too (theres no need to be exclusive during the holidays), I would really appreciate the United States mens soccer team advancing out of its group at this summers World Cup. I know, the Yanks drew the dreaded group of death, but it seemed destined since they were the strongest team in their pot. Germany is one of the best teams in the world one of the few legit contenders for the title and Portugal features arguably the worlds best, if not most recognized, player in Cristiano Ronaldo. Now why would I be asking for a modest accomplishment. This is my list, why not shoot for the stars and ask for a chhampionship or even a semifinal appearance? Especially since this will be quite possibly the most complete and most talented roster the U.S. has ever brought to the competition. Realism. I dont want to raise the bar so high that it is destined for failure. No matter when the U.S. gets knocked out of the competition, I will be saddened. But making it out of the group would be a clear message to the world that the U.S. has made it to the top level and is here to stay. What can I say other than my feelings of patriotism soar at these international competitions that only come around once every few years. And while soccer may lag behind other major sports in terms of popularity in this nation, in the world it is the most popular by far. In America, we love the underdog story.

Wichita State holds off NC Central 77-66
Darius Carter scored 19 points to help No. 11 Wichita State survive Jeremy Ingrams 37-point night in a 77-66 win over North Carolina Central on Sunday. Cleanthony Early had 16 points and 10 rebounds as the Shockers (12-0) extended the best start in school history. Ron Baker scored 15 points for Wichita State and Fred VanVleet added 14. North Carolina Central (7-3) was outrebounded 37-22, including a 15-3 disparity on the offensive glass. Ingram was 12 of 21 from the floor and 7 of 13 from the 3-point line. He scored 27 points in the second half. While there certainly wasnt panic, there was some concern for Wichita State a few minutes into that second half. It wasnt just that Ingram, one of the nations leading scorers, was heating up, its that he was doing it against Tekele Cotton, the Shockers top defender.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. After a haphazard performance filled with penalties and turnovers, the Kansas City Chiefs had every reason to feel glum about a potential playoff rematch with the Indianapolis Colts. Veteran linebacker Derrick
Johnson was taking a decidedly different approach. Theyve got the upper hand on us right now because in their minds, they think they can beat us, he said after the Chiefs 23-7 loss to Indianapolis on Sunday. If we go down there, it will be a different story. But weve got to fight our way back. Jamaal Charles ran for 106 yards and the games first score,
but the Chiefs (11-4) didnt do much the rest of the way. Instead, Andrew Luck threw for 241 yards, and Donald Brown had TDs on the ground and through the air as the Colts (10-5) scored the games final 23 points. Alex Smith threw for 153 yards, but he fumbled once and was picked off twice after throwing just six interceptions his first 14 Please see Chiefs, 6B

Brazilian prosecutors want FIFA and local World Cup organizers to pay nearly $2 million in damages for alleged ticket irregularities at a Confederations Cup venue. Prosecutors in the northeastern state of Pernambuco say organizers did not provide the services that fans paid for at the Arena Pernambuco during the warm-up tournament this year, especially in relation to seating location. Many fans complained that their seats were not as good as shown when they made the purchases. The unhappy fans included some who bought the most expensive tickets for the matches at the Arena Pernambuco. FIFAs agent in tickets sales, MATCH Services, has also been included in the court action. FIFA and MATCH this month were fined more than $200,000 each by consumer rights officials because of the problems at the Arena Pernambuco.

If anything, once he was relegated to the bench, Black did all of that stuff even better. His positive attitude paid off on Saturday. Black got a chance to play extended minutes for the first time in weeks against Georgetown, and the Memphis transfer responded by plowing through a physical bunch of Hoyas for 17 points in the 18th-ranked Jayhawks 86-64 victory.

SPORTS JAYHAWKS
Continued from Page 1B
before fouling out. Moses Ayegba and Nate Lubick also fouled out for Georgetown. They did a good job of getting us in foul trouble, Hoyas coach John Thompson III said. I think particularly Black played very well today. Whenever we felt like we were making a step toward cutting into the lead, hed get a rebound or make a three-point play. The game was so physical that Jayhawks forward Perry Ellis left early in the second half after taking an elbow to the back of his head. Ellis tried to stay in the game but missed a free throw so badly that he took himself out. He never returned from the locker room. If he had a concussion, its very, very slight, Self said. He did bruise the nerve in his neck, ing a zone defense in the first half. The only problem was the Hoyas were so mired in foul trouble that they didnt have anybody to occupy the inside. Kansas built its 44-34 lead thanks in part to a 14-3 run fueled by its defense. Georgetown at one point went more than 10 1/2 minutes without a field goal, missing five straight attempts, turning the ball over and even getting hit with a shot-clock violation. All the credit goes to them, Lubick said. We didnt come ready to fight. Ayegba and Lubick had three fouls each by halftime, and three other Hoyas who spent time guarding the paint had picked up two fouls. That included Smith, who picked up his third in the opening minute of the second half and had to spend long stretches on the bench. Embiid and Black took advantage of his absence. When the Jayhawks two post players werent scoring on an array of layups and dunks, they were getting hacked. Embiid wound up 9 of 12 from the free throw line, while Black was 7 of 9. Georgetown tried to get back into the game midway through the second half, trimming its deficit to 59-47 on Jabil Trawicks basket. But frustration boiled over for the Hoyas when Trawick clobbered Wiggins on the way to the basket, and the teams nearly came to blows. Wiggins responded by knocking down a 3-pointer in Trawicks face from the wing, and in a matter of minutes, the Jayhawks had built a comfortable lead. Embiid put an exclamation mark on it when he followed up a miss by Wiggins with a thunderous jam that left the entire goal shaking. It set off a festive celebration of the Jayhawks first game at the Phog in 29 days. The last couple practices before this game, I told the guys it would be a fun game to come back home, Tharp said. I knew it was going to be exciting. I knew it was going to be turned up in there. It was just a good game.

and that caused the problem. Its something hell be able to come back from in a short time. Just as every other team has done this season, Georgetown tried to combat the Jayhawks length and athleticism by employ-

line were huge for us. Kansas State was 19 of 25 from the foul line while the Bulldogs were 7 of 15. Gonzaga played the second half without secondleading scorer Sam Dower, who took a hard fall late in the first half and did not return. He was in a lot of pain in his lower back, Few said. (The doctors) were so concerned, they took him for an X-ray. Southwell kept his teams momentum going right after halftime, scoring five straight to give the Wildcats a 33-24 lead with 18:46 to play. Then Foster, a freshman among the top 10 scorers in the Big 12, had his stretch, going on a personal 7-3 run with a 3-pointer, a layup and monster slam over Stockton. The Wildcats led 40-32 and the crowd was buzzing. Marcus is so athletic, said Southwell, who made the pass to Foster on the play for one of his six assists. As soon as he got it and could get up, I knew it was over for Stockton. But the Bulldogs answered as Gary Bells 3-pointer capped a 7-0 run that pulled the Bulldogs within 40-39 with 14:48 to play. After that, the teams exchanged the lead eight times in six minutes. The tempo had been at their tempo, but we were able to finally get it up and down a little and get back in the game, Few said. We
were in position. But then they made all the plays from that moment forward. Gipson was the key. Twice then 6-foot-7 Gipson posted up the tiring Karnowski, a 7-footer forced into extended minutes by Dowers injury, for baskets. The second one gave Kansas State a 60-54 lead with 3:39 remaining. Karnowski entered the game averaging 23 minutes but played 30 Saturday, 17 of them in the second half. He was definitely tired, Few said. Gipsons putback with 1:59 to play pushed the lead to eight, and the Wildcats could milk out a victory from there. I just wanted to be active ball screen, roll and get posted up down low, Gipson said. I knew I could get offensive rebounds or easy hook shots. Gonzaga, among the top 20 nationally in scoring, had real difficulties finding its offense in the first half. The Bulldogs had just 19 points in the games first 17 minutes and trailed by five. But Kyle Dranginis followed a driving layup with a 3-pointer, making the score 24-24 with 1:49 remaining in the half. Kansas State scored the halfs final five points on a 3 by Nigel Johnson and a layup by Nino Williams for a 29-24 lead. Gonzaga had not scored fewer than 31 points in a first half this season.

SPORTS CHIEFS
games. Knile Davis also fumbled the ball away for Kansas City. I think it was a team effort in not a very good way, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. You cant pull your foot off the accelerator when you go out that quick. You have to keep going. The Chiefs vowed to do that if the teams meet again in two weeks. Kansas City is assured of the No. 5 seed in the playoffs after Denver beat Houston earlier Sunday to wrap up the AFC West and the No. 1 seed. That means the Chiefs would head to Lucas Oil Stadium for a wild-card game if the Colts end up as the No. 4 seed. I know well have some motivation. Definitely, Chiefs offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz said. They might think were one team, but well be back in a couple of weeks. Early on, the Chiefs appeared as if they were going to pick up right where they left off last week, when they hung 56 points on the Raiders. They marched downfield on the opening drive, and Charles took a carry around the right side 31 yards for a touchdown. The Colts defense stiffened after that, though, and the closest Kansas City came to scoring again in the first half came when Ryan Succop yanked a 47-yard field goal wide left. Anytime you can play the type of game we played today, against a playoff team in a hostile environment, it speaks to the character of our football team, Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. They stick to the process and stay focused on the process. Indianapolis kept taking advantage of breakdowns in the Kansas City pass defense, the most glaring one coming after Davis fumbled in the second quarter. Brown leaked out of the backfield unnoticed by the Kansas City defense, Luck hit him with a dumpoff pass that he took virtually untouched 33 yards for a score. I think they busted the coverage, Brown said, so that made my job a lot easier. Browns job wasnt a whole lot tougher when the Colts got the ball back in the third quarter off Smiths interception. He raced through a gaping hole, then tight-rope walked down the sideline 51 yards for a score a video review showed that he somehow stayed inbounds. Adam Vinatieri added to the Colts cushion with his third field goal, capping a drive kept alive by a defensive hold and a taunting penalty after the Chiefs had already held on third down. I cant tell you why we came out here and performed the way we did today, we just did, Chiefs cornerback Brandon Flowers said. We should have come out and matched their intensity. Smith was picked off again by Jerrell Freeman in the end zone midway through the fourth quarter, and then the quarterback fumbled the ball away with 3:24 left to seal the game.

the few athletic endeavors the Yanks remain David instead of the Goliath. Next, I want to see an end to the SECs college football title run. I am sick and tired of hearing the SEC championed as the best conference ever. Yes, Alabama has had an amazing string of success since Nick Saban took over the program. But one team does not a conference make. Some of the lower tiered SEC teams have been awful over this same stretch. Most SEC teams have boasted impressive defenses the past few years, it also must be taken into consideration that the offenses these teams face are not topnotch. Meanwhile, SEC fans have become increasingly obnoxious over the recent run of good fortune. Apparently these fans forget that college football is equally popular north of the Mason-Dixon line. I am not a huge Florida State fan and in a vacuum would probably end up backing Auburn. Unfortunately, this is the real world. Not every choice is clear cut.

The way we opened up, marching down the way we did, it felt like things were going to be the way theyve been, Smith said. We really didnt get into a rhythm after that, didnt execute in any area, and then the turnovers. The turnovers hurt you. NOTES: Vinatieri has now scored 1,993 points, passing fellow kicker Jason Elam for seventh on the NFLs career list. ... Three of the Chiefs four losses have come at Arrowhead Stadium. ... Kansas City had scored 101 points the last two weeks.

Florida State might not be the champion we want, but it is the champion we need right now. So on what hopefully wont be a snowy or cold Jan. 6 night, you might hear me utter a Go Noles. Finally, let this be the year I finally follow my dream of becoming an Olympic Curler. If youve never watched curling, then you wont understand the intricacy of the sport. Im also fascinated by the strategy and of how even the smallest of mistakes can prove costly. For those who have spent half an afternoon engrossed in the Olympic Curling competition, Im sure youre already hooked. Given my lack of any other athletic prospects, I feel this is my last (and best) chance at earning an Olympic Medal which has long been a dream of mine. Check it out when the Olympics come around in a few months. And for you, dear reader who has slugged through my selfishnees, while Im sure there will be highs and lows in your upcoming sports years, perhaps you can try something new. Take a chance, watch a new sport, learn the obscure rules. Youre never too old for fun.
