Traffic was limited to one lane in each direction through most of the week as crews worked in the area. After the water main was repaired Tuesday morning, utility crews spent most of Tuesday repairing two service lines, and Wednesday, crews spent the day making temporary repairs to Sixth Street. Permanent repairs will be made in the spring, according to officials.

Junction City received about $10.05 million in sales tax revenue in 2013, which is up slightly compared to 2012, Assistant City Manager Cheryl Beatty reported Tuesday. In 2012, the city received about $10.03 million in sales tax revenue. The totals from the last two years include the portion the city receives from Geary County. Sales tax is a significant source of revenue for cities. Of Junction Citys $15 million general fund budget, sales tax covers for $6 million. Beatty said the city is

comfortable with the revenue received in 2013. Weve held it steady now for two years, she said. But the city always is seeking to identify additional ways to increase sales tax revenue. We always have that goal, Beatty said. We always are trying to develop new business and new sales tax revenue. That goal is no different in other cities, she said. One of the primary focuses is to seek increased revenues to support ongoing increased costs and the services that we offer, Beatty said. The focus is not just only on sales tax, though. We are always are looking for new revenue sources. As a whole, Geary County received about $5.68 million in sales tax revenue in 2013, about $40,000 more than in 2012. From that total, Junction City received about $2.46 million, Grandview Plaza received about $144,300 and Milford received about $44,600.

Architects, designers and engineers use 3-D printers to make research come to life
MANHATTAN Researchers and students at Kansas State University are thinking in three dimensions. University engineers and designers are developing ideas from concept to prototype using some of the latest 3-D printers. The layer by layer printing process has helped professors and students explore new possibilities for creating prototypes, formula car parts, models, tools, and on a less conventional note eyeglasses, custom-made clothes and intricately designed puzzles. In the College of Architecture, Planning & Design, two professors Dustin Headley, assistant professor of interior architecture and product design, and Nathan Howe, assistant professor of architecture are using 3-D printers to help students explore the limits of gravity and to challenge themselves as designers. The college has two 3-D printers: a uPrint that uses strings of ABS plastic and a Form1 printer that uses liquid resin and lasers. Students in Howes architecture classes have 3-D printed model pieces for projects while students in Headleys product design classes have printed tiles and product prototypes. The printers get students to operate at a scale where they can actually touch things, Headley said. If they arent engaging in that, then everything becomes kind of pie in the sky. When they are forced to make things more reasonable, students discover holes in the design that the computer fails to highlight in its gravity free environment. The architects also say that using 3-D printers helps students learn important job-related skills and makes them more marketable. In architecture, we are designing in an age where it is possible to build more complex forms, Howe said. However if you can design it in a computer, it doesnt necessarily make it right. The best tools the students have are their eyes. 3-D printers allow the students to make complex forms physical, allowing them to get a lot more information out of their design process, he said. The printer provides a mechanism to strive for more complexity that can still be rationalized. As the college obtains more 3-D printers, it becomes quicker and more cost-effective for students to use the technology. Headley and Howe already plan to integrate the printers in spring semester classes. Headley plans to have students use the Xbox Kinect to create body scans and design and print their own custom-fit apparel or action figures of themselves. He also plans to have students in product design courses print childrens toys. The architects also have used 3-D printers for their own research projects. Howe printed a model chair to better understand the manufacturing process and create a mold for the chair. Headley used a 3-D body scan to create an elaborate customfit armband. Both researchers earned awards for their work. In the College of Engineering, a large 3-D printer uses multicolored ABS plastic to create parts, tools and prototypes for research and student projects. Another 3-D printer in the Electronics Design Laboratory also is used for research projects and prototypes. In mechatronics classes, engineering students design robots and 3-D print the pieces. Several laboratories and the colleges competitive design teams such as the SAE formula car and the SAE aero team use the large printer. Several laboratories, including the materials testing laboratory, also use the printer.

Wilson plans to give Kites shot in the arm

B Y T IM WEIDEMAN
Kites Grille and Bar in Junction City likely will have to shut its doors soon, but the closure wont be permanent. Thanks to a badly deteriorated area of flooring in the restaurants kitchen, owner Rusty Wilson on Tuesday told the Junction City-Geary County Economic Development Commission hell need to make repairs and give the restaurant the shot in the arm it needs to get it back to where it was. Wilson applied for a $35,000 loan from the citys revolving loan fund to help pay for the project. The Economic Development Commission (EDC) voted unanimously to recommend the loan be approved. The Junction City Commission will vote whether to approve the loan at a later date.
A photo of Kites in downtown JC. The store may close for days.
Several EDC members voiced their support of Wilson during Tuesdays meeting. Theyve demonstrated by virtue of their success how theyve been a service to the community, EDC board member and Geary County Commissioner Larry Hicks said. Wilson also is seeking a

loan from Millennium Bank. If the funding comes through, Wilson said the plan is to temporarily close the restaurant for about nine days, fix the kitchen floor, clean the interior, hire some new managers and tweak the menu. Were going to try and get creative some differ-
ent type of entertainment, some different specials, he said. A year-long disagreement between Wilson and building owners, Homestead Affordable Housing, forced the problem to be dealt with. Wilson said he doesnt believe its his responsibility to fix the floor because it wasnt installed with a proper moisture-absorbing layer. However, the buildings owners dont think the responsibility is theirs, either. Now, the damaged floor has taken a tole on the business, especially employee morale, Wilson said. Add the opening of Warrior Zone, a sports bar on Fort Riley, and Kites has seen foot traffic decrease. NFL Sundays are huge for us, he said. Theyre a third of what they were. The hope is the improvements could help bring the
restaurant back to the success it was used to seeing. At one point it was great, Wilson said. I love it. I love Junction City. Its very different from Manhattan. Wilson also owns Kites Grille and Bar and Rustys, both located in Manhattans Aggieville district. The difference between his restaurants locations is part of the problem Wilson said hes encountered. The Junction City restaurant hasnt seen the latenight traffic Wilson relies on in Manhattan. He said residents of Bartell Place, a senior housing community located above Kites, have complained before because of noise levels. Wilson suggested the restaurant will seek the bar crowd as part of its future plans. My point is, dont buy a house close to the train tracks if you dont want to hear the train, he said.

This is going to be a very interesting school year, Superintendent Ronald Walker said during his first press conference of 2014. Some of the intriguing topics on the horizon for the Geary County School District include construction at Fort Riley, finances and a statewide lawsuit. Like others around the state, Unified School District 475 is waiting for a decision from the state Supreme Court regarding education funding. A decision is expected in the upcoming weeks. The case is a conflict between the Schools For Fair Funding (SFFF), Inc. and the state of Kansas. SFFF, a nonprofit organization, is composed of several districts. Its currently sponsoring the Gannon v. State of Kansas school finance lawsuit. The case was filed against the state and alleges that the state violated the Kansas Constitution by not adequately funding public education. The district is not sure how much Geary County could receive, but the lawsuit is for more than $400 million. Walker said districts were told not to budget based on a quick settlement. Ive been told not to expect the full amount next year, Walker said. Itll probably take some time to work through the current budget situation to resolve some issues. The district will await for the budget analysis to see what funds are coming to USD 475. Walker said its widely known that the district has lived off multi-million dollar grants during difficult financial times. Were able to survive

off those, but a lot of those are coming to an end now, Walker said. So any financial injection would be very welcomed by our school district. If SFFF does not win the case, itll put the district in a difficult position, which may include cutting non-certified staff positions and adjusting class sizes. Weve had already made adjustments with certified staff to the point where I dont think we can do it anymore, Walker said. Infrastructure and building improvements may also be effected. While weve done a lot of renovation in the district, theres still a lot which needs to be done at the high school level, Walker said. The infrastructure there is aging fast.
Morris Ave.
Walker said the district is working on the assessment piece of the Kansas College and Career Ready Standards (KCCR). KCCR was developed to establish a single set of educational standards for kindergarten through 12th grade in English, language arts, math and science. In December, the state decided not to go with the Common Core-associated Smarter Balance tests, which was developed with the federal Race to the Top Grant. State officials made a decision to let the University of Kansas develop the evaluation. The reason behind the decision was to save money and have more control over the test. Walker believes that
Common Core, KCCR
decision will put Kansas behind the rest of the nation, since it will not begin until the 2015-16 school year. While I have all the confidence in the world that KU will develop a really strong assessment, it still puts Kansas two years behind other states and thats a concern for me, Walker said. He also said it was bittersweet. Its difficult in the fact that teachers have to adjust to instruction, but its also good in the fact that it gives us more time to understand the KCCRs well and perfect our instruction as much as we can, Walker said.

Music will be provided by Mended Wings.
Due to recent inclement weather, construction of the new Fort Riley Middle School is about a week behind schedule. Most of the facility was covered and heated so they can work on the inside, so a lot of that work is still taking place, Walker said. The outside work is at a virtual standstill right now. In 2012, the district received $35.2 million from the U.S. Department of Defense to address overcrowding at the current school on post. My hope is to have that facility delivered to us in July, Walker said. The district also plans to break ground in the spring for a new Fort Riley Elementary School after receiving $16 million from the Department of Defense. The 500-student school will help reduce overcrowding an will replace the current school at 104

Actress Zapata dies after long career

By The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES Emmynominated actress Carmen Zapata, who started a foundation to promote Hispanic writers because jobs were so scarce, has died of heart problems, colleagues say. She was 86. Zapata died Sunday at her Van Nuys-area home, said Luis Vela, marketing manager for the Bilingual Foundation of the Arts in Los Angeles. Zapata started her career in 1945 in the Broadway musical Oklahoma and went on to perform in Bells Are Ringing, Guys and Dolls and many plays. She was an inspiration for me, Vela said. She taught me that art is the key to resolving differences in the community. He said Zapata was once asked how she wanted to be remembered as an artist, producer or founder. I prefer people remember us as educators, Vela recalled her saying. Her movie credits included Sister Act, Gang Boys and Carola. She also appeared in dozens of television series, including nine seasons on the PBS bilingual childrens show, Villa Alegre.

Jury vindicates London police over riots killing
Headlines from around the world

gun, and whether he was holding it, when he was killed by police was one of the central questions in Duggans case. A pistol was recovered a few meters (yards) from the scene, and the officer who shot Duggan said he was sure the gun was in Duggans hand as he opened fire. Duggans supporters insist he was unarmed. Crucially, jurors it found that officers at the scene genuinely believed Duggan was armed when they killed him. Reicher said the judgment risked reinforcing the sense in Londons black community that the justice system was weighted against them. Police and other officials have already been criticized over their response to the killing. Police didnt properly notify Duggans family of the death and press briefings led journalists to wrongly believe Duggan had shot at officers before being killed. In a statement made almost inaudible by shouts of scum and liars, Londons Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley acknowledged outside the courthouse that trust in the police is not shared by everyone and pledged to rebuild relations. After allegations of cover-up and foot-dragging, the inquest was finally opened on Sept. 16, hearing testimony from roughly 100 people, including witnesses, pathologists and police officers. Inquests are held in Britain to investigate violent or unexplained deaths, and even though they dont rule on guilt or innocence, they often play an important role in establishing the facts surrounding controversial cases. Authorities said policing in the capital was proceeding as usual following the decision.
Haiti police: killers targeted moto-taxi drivers
LONDON An inquest jury Wednesday largely vindicated London police over the fatal shooting that set off a wave of rioting across England more than two years ago, finding that officers acted lawfully when they shot 29-year-old gang member Mark Duggan. The jury found that the mixed-race father of two did not have a gun in his hand when he was shot, but said it was likely hed thrown the weapon away in the seconds before he was confronted by police. Officers truly believed he was armed, they found. The jurors decision drew outrage from Duggans family, who spoke to reporters outside the courthouse and insisted justice had not been done. One family member shouted an obscenity at jurors as they left the court. Supporters chanted no justice, no peace and nearly drowned out a police press statement. The family are in a state of shock ... They cant believe that this has been the outcome, family lawyer Marcia Willis Stewart said. No gun in his hand and yet he was killed murdered as they have said no gun in his hand. The unrest that followed the Aug. 4, 2011, shooting spread across days, causing hundreds of millions in property damage and killing five people three of whom were run over by a car while trying to protect their shops. Images of masked youths raiding department stores, of massive fires, and of police skirmishes shocked the country a year ahead of the Olympic Games. One academic said Wednesdays decision could play an important role in shaping the nations understanding of the riots if it could get people talking about why police blundered, and why Duggans death prompted such fury. It could be a very important move if it could start a debate, said Stephen Reicher, an expert on crowd psychology at Scotlands University of

Duggan had a criminal record and police suspected him of involvement in gun crime something treated especially seriously in Britain, where handguns are outlawed and shootings are rare. When intelligence suggested Duggan had picked up a firearm from a gang associate on Aug. 4, 2011, his taxi was intercepted by police in the gritty north London neighborhood of Tottenham. He ran out, and was shot by police. Whether Duggan had a

THOMAZEAU, Haiti Haitian and U.N. authorities are searching a remote area for the remains of moto-taxi drivers who were apparently targeted by a robbery gang. A local police commissioner says the bodies of nine drivers have been found so far and the search is continuing for additional victims. Commissioner Pierre Lesley Charles says three suspects are in custody. The suspects are believed to have lured drivers to the rugged area and killed them with machetes or by strangulation. A 20-year-old suspect led police and an investigative magistrate to the site on Wednesday to search to help locate and identify remains. U.N. police were also assisting the search.

Our view
he Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce is kicking off its third year as a consolidated organization formed from several disparate groups, including the old chamber, Economic Development Commission, Geary County Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Military Affairs Council. CEO Tim Weigand Tuesday outlined his vision of the chambers goals beginning this year. Those goals include: Pursuing a private capital funding campaign. Supporting legislation permitting a casino in Geary County. Recruiting companies in the bioscience and animal health industries, in advance of completion of the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility in Manhattan. Establishing where property is available for development in the county when industry is interested in locating here. As Weigand pointed out, our neighboring counties have completed similar capital campaigns to have funding available in order to attract potential businesses through possible incentives. Longer-term goals include attempting to attract a mega-grocery store on the west side of town, an eight-screen cinema, a sports complex and an outdoors specialty store. Success will require a lot of hard work, and yes, money. Junction City and Geary County as always are competing with other cities to attract retail businesses, many of which are offering incentives. The chamber is moving in the right direction, in our view. These efforts take time and perseverance. Private fundraising efforts are going to be critical to the cause, and we urge the business community to support those efforts. The good news is that Junction City sales tax revenues rose every-so-slightly last year, up about a tenth of a percent from the previous year. Sales tax revenue is an indication of retail growth, and certainly a positive number beats a drop in revenue. But for the city to show real retail growth, 2014 sales tax revenue numbers need to show a more substantial increase. With the opening of CVS Pharmacy and other new businesses this year, there is renewed hope that the retail economy is on the rise. That should bring in more sales tax money, which means more revenue to the city, which means more money for the services it provides. It also means more jobs are available locally as well. We are optimistic that the future is bright economically in 2014.

Continued agriculture success depends on change

B Y JOHN S CHLAGECK
Kansas Farm Bureau
ith the advent of the New Year, Kansas farmers and ranchers must once again look to the future with an open mind and the flexibility to develop new ways of marketing their products. Customers and consumers are driven by changes in personal preferences and increased income levels. Give consumers what they want will never ring truer than it will in 2014. Todays consumers have money and they want to spend it on what they want. Convenience also is very important, and while price is less important, it will still be a major piece of the buying equation. Our future agricultural economy will continue to be driven by consumer demand. Consumers become wiser, and savvier every day. Tomorrows wellinformed shopper will want, and demand, more information about how and where their food is produced. It will be up to the producer to help provide such information. Consumers must never be viewed as adversaries. They are the folks who
buy agricultural products and keep farmers in the business of producing food, fiber and fuel. We can never discount consumers intelligence. Rather, we must seek input from them, and, once we understand what their needs are, provide for them. Along with giving customers what they want, agricultural producers will once again be called upon to become better risk managers, especially as they continue moving into a marketoriented world arena. The successful farmer in 2014 and beyond will be the one who manages yield and price risks by knowing exactly what break-even costs of each crop will be. They will incorporate specific goals that ensure profits and include prudent risk-management strategies. Flexibility will also key future success on the farm and in the market place. One day soon farmers will no longer be able to rely on government disaster relief. Farmers must examine sound, new marketing techniques and the latest crop insurance options coming down the pike. One attribute many farmers share is common sense. Dont forget to use this vital tool during the upcoming year.
Remember, that past performance never guarantees future success. Avoid greed when marketing. Never wait to sell at the top of the market because you rarely will. If something sounds too good to be true it generally is. Always, and this means all the time, explain risk strategies you are considering to your spouse or partner. If they cannot reiterate what you have said and have it make sense, then you may want to reconsider. While relying on common sense is helpful, it will not always make you a successful farmer. Being thought of as a good farmer will not always ensure profitability either. But, becoming a keener business specialist is a prerequisite to continuing in the profession of farming in the New Year while providing customers what they want.

Best Republican new idea yet

B Y G EORGE N IXON S HULER
Special to The Daily Union
The Daily Union
To the Editor:
Letter to the Editor Correcting the problem
ilford Lake has been here since the late 60s. Over the years we have had numerous drownings. With the largest lake in Kansas within less that 5 miles from Junction City, I find it ironic that those in charge of this county have done nothing to attain equipment and train responders to use for this purpose. This last drowning in the freezing icy waters in a cove might have been prevented if we would have had this equipment before this happened. So, those responders watched a man die from the shore. I have to wonder why we have a SWAT mobile that they use in the parade every year to show how we are equipped to handle terrorist attacks in Junction City. How many thousands of dollars were spent on that. How many times has it been used to justify that expense? There are also plenty of new high dollar trucks at the Sheriffs department now. There was money for that also. The county commissioners have now found it in the budget to get a banana boat at the cost of $4,000, and another $6,000 will be used for training those to use this equipment. This is the best use of tax dollars that has been spent in years. As usual it seems like to little is done to late. I feel sorry for the family of that soldier that had to wait days for the body to be recovered. I hope those on City and County Commissions can look at ways to protect those in Geary County so that something like this does not happen again.
onder of wonders, a Republican running for the U.S. Senate from nearby Nebraska (you know, that place north of Kansas with the tallest state capitol that they nickname something I cant say here, and a state college whose football team has raucous fans that come here when they play K-State and get drunk and spend money) actually has an innovative, if not completely thought out, plan to do something different. His name is Ben Sasse (pronounced with a silent e) and hes highly conservative with Tea Party connections. Of course, hes a University President, albeit one Ive never heard of before (Midland University, which is affiliated with the liberal Lutheran denomination, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, or ELCA) so he might be a double agent. But maybe not every denomination has liberal and conservative wings, but some are just smaller than others. While Midland does indeed have ELCA roots, its interesting that one click on its website to its About Us page includes its nondiscrimination policy which specifically does not include the category sexual orientation like most Methodist and Catholic Universities do. So it may just be a more conservative college tied to a liberal denomination through a quirk of history.
Anyhow, heres Sasses idea. He wants to move the nations capital to Nebraska. Beyond that hes not specific, but, wow, what a wonderful idea. Get those lawmakers, bureaucrats, media players, diplomats, hostesses, lobbyists, rent girls and boys, and earnest young aides out of the D.C. swamp and stick em right out here in the middle of the prairie! Pretty soon the Tandoori Indian restaurants that deliver till midnight, trendy clubs in basements of office complexes, cruising taxis, and cigar boutiques will be popping up everywhere. Now, Sasse doesnt say where in Cornhusker Land hed put it after all, hes running for office for the whole state so he has to be prudent about such things. One gets the impression he means someplace out in the flatlands like Lodge Pole or Kearney, but, remember back to Midlands website again, which says the college is 25 minutes from Omaha hes from the more urbanized eastern part of Nebraska, so ... That got me thinking. Where hes talking about is just over three hours away from us. Maybe instead of near Omaha or Lincoln, itd be better situated on this side of the 40th parallel (the line of latitude which includes the Kansas-Nebraska border). After all, the geographic center of the contiguous 48 states is at Lebanon, just west of Clay Center.
We have interstates. We have airports. We have a military base ... say, why not put the Capitol right at Fort Riley? The Old Post is full of historic buildings. Some could be sold to the Danes and the Thais and the Colombians for embassies and so on. We could be like the Virginia suburbs of D.C. and Manhattan like the Maryland ones. And, best of all, we could put in Metro Lines right under the streets in the esoteric patterns like Pierre LEnfant and Benjamin Banneker laid out in the Potomac delta back east. As for D.C., we could maintain it as is, mostly as museums. We could keep the Pentagon there but relocate the real military power here. We could leave the Supreme Court there. Other nations have more than one capital. The Netherlands has Amsterdam and The Hague; South Africa has Johannesburg and Capetown; Bolivia has three, La Paz, Sucre, and Cochabamba. The growth and massive infusion of government largesse right here would be the best possible boon to the local economy we could ever hope to get. If Sasse wins which seems likely at this point, but who knows Kansas Moran and Roberts ought to take him aside after hes sworn in and be like, Yo, Dude, about that idea you had? Were going with it, but with one little change.

NEWS TO KNOW
Unemployment benefits briefly delayed in Kansas
News from around Kansas

from 175 communities in 65 of the states 105 counties, with the majority of donors contributing $200 or less. The campaign said its fundraising shows that Davis has support among unaffiliated and Republican voters something he needs in a state in which Democrats make up fewer than 25 percent of the 1.7 million registered voters. Kansans in every corner of the state are concerned about the direction we are headed under Sam Brownback, Davis said in a statement announcing the figures. Kensinger said Brownback has 10,000 donors three times as many as Davis reported and has collected contributions from every county in Kansas. Forty Kansas counties didnt give them a dime, Kensinger said. So much for being governor of the entire state. Davis donors included former Lt. Gov. Gary Sherrer and former state Senate Majority Leader Tim Emert, both moderate Republicans. Sherrer contributed $500 and Emert, $250; the maximum allowed is $2,000. The Democrat is trying to appeal to unaffiliated voters and moderate and liberal Republicans unhappy with the conservative GOP governor by making funding for public schools a major issue. Brownback successfully pushed for massive personal income tax cuts and expects them to stimulate the economy, but critics, including Davis and many educators, believe the reductions will starve schools and state programs of money. But Kensinger said it would be unprecedented for a challenger to overcome a 2.5-to-1 deficit in cash on hand at the beginning of an election year. He noted that Kansas law prevents candidates from accepting contributions from corporations or political action committees during the Legislatures annual, 90-day session, which begins next week. Beatty acknowledged that Davis campaign will have to sustain its fundraising to keep its campaign viable but said last years figures represent a good start.
TOPEKA The Kansas Department of Labor says some technical difficulties have delayed unemployment benefits. Department spokeswoman Barbara Hersh told WIBW that full unemployment payments should be on recipients debit cards by 2 p.m. Wednesday. The labor department said on its website that the technical difficulties occurred at the Unemployment Insurance Contact Center but it provided no further explanation.
Topeka motel death now called homicide

TOPEKA The death of a Topeka woman found in a motel room in November has officially been classified as a homicide. The Topeka Capital-Journal reports police confirmed the classification Wednesday but would not say how 39-year-old Lee Ann Keithley died, citing the continuing investigation. A worker found Keithleys body the afternoon Nov. 16 in a room at the Country Club Motel on the citys south side. No arrests have been made, and police Maj. Jerry Stanley declined to say if any suspects had been identified. Investigators had treated the case as a possible homicide from the start but awaited the coroners report before classifying the death as a homicide. The confirmation brings Topekas 2013 homicide count to 12, including four related and still unsolved killings that occurred Dec. 1.
Democrat raises $1M for Kansas governors race

TOPEKA Democratic candidate Paul Davis raised a little more than $1 million in cash contributions in less than five months for his bid to unseat Republican incumbent Sam Brownback in the Kansas governors race, Davis campaign reported Wednesday. Davis team touted the fundraising as unprecedented for a challenger in the GOP-leaning state, but close Brownback ally David Kensinger said he was unimpressed because the Republicans re-election campaign had more than twice as much cash on hand at the end of 2013 as Davis did. The Democrats campaign filed a finance report with the secretary of states office Wednesday showing it finished last year with nearly $771,000 in cash after raising its $1 million. Kensinger, who managed Brownbacks 2010 campaign, served as the governors chief of staff and is now acting informally as his re-election spokesman, confirmed Tuesday that Brownback ended 2013 with almost $2 million in campaign cash after raising more than $1.6 million during the year. Brownbacks campaign has not filed its report, but the deadline isnt until Friday. Davis, from Lawrence, is the Kansas House minority leader, and he formed his campaign committee for the governors race in early August. Bob Beatty, a political science professor at Washburn University of Topeka, said it was important for Davis to hit the $1 million mark in fundraising to show potential donors and others that he can run a credible campaign. Doing so was impressive in the relatively short amount of time he had, Beatty said. Hes a legitimate challenger and a strong challenger, Beatty said. He passed his first test. Davis campaign said it had more than 3,300 donors
Justices seek more briefs in Hard 50 cases

TOPEKA Kansas Supreme Court justices on Tuesday asked attorneys
for the state and four inmates to file additional legal briefs regarding the states Hard 50 prison sentence. The state has made changes to its Hard 50 law since a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last June in which it said that juries, not judges, must determine whether to impose mandatory minimum sentences. Defendants who receive the Hard 50 are sentenced to life in prison and arent eligible for parole for at least 50 years. Previously, Kansas had judges hand down such sentences. The Kansas Supreme Court is looking at four cases decided after lawmakers amended the state law. Each case involves a defendant convicted of premeditated first-degree murder. Legislators met in September in special session to make it so that juries, instead of judges, determine Hard 50 sentences. The new law specifically says it would apply to cases still at trial or on appeal. Tuesdays two-page order from the Kansas Supreme Court, signed by Chief Justice Lawton Nuss, asks attorneys to address whether failure to have a jury decide the sentence amounted to a harmless error at trial. Among the nuances to consider is whether the evidence would have been sufficient to support the harsher sentence beyond a reasonable doubt. If the errors arent harmless, the justices are asking whether the appropriate recourse is the send the cases back to district court for resentencing. The order applies to the appeals of defendants Matthew Astorga, Dustin Hilt, Jonell Lloyd and Eldier Molina. Astorgas case was one that was sent back to
Kansas by the U.S. Supreme Court following its June ruling. Attorneys for the state have argued that the changes made by legislators in September were procedural in nature and that the sentences should stand, or at the least, be sent back for a jury to consider, with the Hard 50 still an option. Defense attorneys argue that changes made to the law amount to a new crime and punishment that didnt exist until September and thus couldnt be applied to cases that were decided as much as a decade ago. If the justices agree with defense attorneys that the changes violate the U.S. Constitution, the sentences would be set aside and the penalty would revert to a mandatory 25-year sentence before parole consideration. In Kansas, the only penalties tougher than the Hard 50 are capital punishment and life without parole, the alternative to death in a capital case and a sentence also possible for some habitual sex offenders.
Prosecutors say Beck also tried to strangle Staggs teenage son but he was able to lock himself and an 11-year-old sister in another room. Beck turned himself in shortly after the deaths in Texas County, Mo. The Wichita Eagle reports he is being held in the Sedgwick County Jail on a $1 million bond.
Hutchinson might host longer Smallville festival

HUTCHINSONHutchinson is considering a stronger effort to promote its claim of being the hometown of Supermans alter ego, Clark Kent. Last year, the city renamed itself Smallville for one day. But a promoter asked the City Council Tuesday to consider expanding the designation to four days to coincide with a festival celebrating the fictional character and other superheroes. Supermans hometown has often been depicted as being somewhere in Kansas, although no specific city was ever named and some Superman fans claim he was born in different states. Organizer Christopher Wietrick asked the council to support the larger festival, which would coincide with a Smallville Comic-Con on June 21-22 at the Kansas State Fairgrounds, The Hutchinson News reported. We can build a big festival that will draw tourism into town, he told the council. Mayor Bob Bush said he didnt think anyone would object to proclaiming Hutchinson Smallville for June 19-22. As the first mayor of Smallville, youve increased my whimsy factor, Bush said.
Suspect in Derby homicide waives prelim hearing

Beck is charged in the Sept. 1 strangulation of 44-year-old Lonnie Staggs at her Derby home.

Work still to be done

Tom Weigand delivered a presentation reflecting on the past and outlining the future. I think from here on, youll start seeing some more accomplishments than you have in the last year or two, Weigand said during the meeting. In early 2012, the Chamber Activities Division, Economic Development Commission, Geary County Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Military Affairs Council combined to form the Chamber of Commerce. Weigand came on as CEO in May that year. Weigand said he believes Junction City needs to grow from relying exclusively on Fort Riley as our base of economic development. In 2014, Weigand said the chamber would like to create a common theme for Junction City, pursue a private capital funding campaign, continue to support the Geary County casino concept and recruit compa-

nies in the bioscience and animal health industries. Hopefully we can check some of those (goals) off, Junction City Mayor Cecil Aska said. To complete those tasks, Weigand said the chamber first needs to take care of a few items. We need shovel-ready land, he said. We do need capital. Weigand said the chamber recognizes the need to reach out to local landowners. As for the capital, Weigand said hes going to approach the chamber board of directors about beginning a fiveyear, private fundraising campaign. The money raised could be used to attract businesses through various incentives. Pottawatomie County recently completed a similar campaign that raised about $1 million. Manhattan also ran a campaign that raised about $2.7 million, Weigand said. I would have a goal of a couple million bucks over five years, he said. Those funds could come in handy to help the chamber accomplish some of its long-term goals. A list of goals for 2020 provided by Weigand states the organization would like to have brought to Junction City a game-changer industrial business, a mega grocery store on the west side of town, a new eightscreen cinema on Ash Street, an outdoors specialty store on Ash Street and a completed sports complex that would be recognized as the top-rated complex in Kansas. Weigand said none of those goals will be accomplished quickly. It doesnt happen overnight, he said. It takes money.
The Junction City Commission is pleased with the work the Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce has accomplished in its nearly two years as a consolidated organization. Commissioners shared that sentiment Tuesday night after Chamber CEO

Americans and instead have phone companies or a third party hold the records. The NSA would be able to access the records only by obtaining separate court approval for each search, though exceptions could be made for emergency national security matters. Its unclear whether Obama will ultimately back the proposal or how quickly it could be carried out if he does. Before making his final decisions, the president was supposed to receive a separate report from a semi-independent commission known as the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, which was created by Congress. However, that panels report has been delayed without explanation until at least late January, meaning it wont reach the president until after he makes his decisions public. Members of that oversight board did meet with Obama on Wednesday and have briefed other administration officials on some of their preliminary findings. In a statement, the five-member panel said its meeting with the president focused on the NSA phone collection prober of Commerce, is set for Jan. 30. After the meal, guests
gram and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which oversees the data sweeps. White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden called it a good opportunity for Obama to hear the groups views directly as we begin to finalize our internal review. Its unclear why Obama will announce his recommendations before receiving the report from the privacy and civil liberties board. One official familiar with the review process said that some White House officials were puzzled by the boards delay. But the official said the report probably would still have strong weight in Congress, where legislators are grappling with several bills aimed at dismantling or preserving the NSAs authority. That official and those familiar with the White House review insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the process by name. Obama and Vice President Joe Biden also met at the White House with Attorney General Eric Holder and members of the U.S. intelligence community, the White House said, including Director of National Intelligence can take a look at the new MRI and tour the building.
James Clapper and the heads of the NSA, FBI and CIA. The intelligence community largely supports keeping the NSA surveillance programs intact. On Thursday, the president will meet with members of Congress, while his top lawyer, Kathryn Ruemmler, will meet with representatives from privacy groups. Shortly after receiving the review board recommendations last month, Obama signaled that he could be open to significant surveillance changes, including to the bulk collecting of phone records. There are ways we can do it, potentially, that gives people greater assurance that there are checks and balances that theres sufficient oversight and sufficient transparency, Obama said during a Dec. 20 news conference. He added that programs like the bulk collection could be redesigned in ways that give you the same information when you need it without creating these potentials for abuse. The president also has backed the idea of adding a public advocate position to
the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court which rules on many of the domestic surveillance decisions. The court typically hears only from the government as it decides cases and the advocate would be added to represent privacy and civil liberties concerns. That review followed disclosures from Snowden, the former government contractor, who leaked details of several secret government programs. Snowden faces espionage charges in the U.S., but has been granted temporary asylum in Russia. While Obama has said he welcomes the review, its unlikely it would have occurred without Snowdens disclosures. Added pressure came last month from a court decision by a federal judge in Washington who questioned the phone surveillance programs constitutionality and called it almost Orwellian in scope. In his December ruling, U.S. District Judge Richard Leon said the NSA program appeared to violate 4th Amendment protections against unreasonable searches.

a strategic plan. Were going to continue to use our strategic plan as our road map, Stratton said. Also, a new MRI system currently is up and running. We will be utilizing it with patients and it will help with the diagnosis being more thorough, exact and quicker, Stratton said. That has been a really big commitment going into 2014 and beyond so we can provide the best care to people in Geary County and the surrounding area. It also keeps us in a very
competitive situation in that regard. During the summer, the hospitals board of advisors agreed to lease the new magnetic resonance system. The total cost to lease the machine is more than $1.4 million. Magnetic resonance imaging measures the response of the atomic nuclei of body tissues to high-frequency radio waves when placed in a strong magnetic field, which results in the imaging of internal organs. The previous system was about 13 years old and sat outside in a mobile trailer. As a celebration for the unit, a breakfast with the Junction City Area Cham-

Husband and wife split after 20 years
Dennis the Menace
Marmaduke
Dear Annie: I am writing to you with a heavy heart. I have been married to my second wife for 20 years. We dated for two years, and she became impatient with my reluctance to get married. We both wanted kids, but her timetable was different than mine. Even though I was old enough to know better (46), I married her because she got pregnant. I am positive that she did it intentionally. We are different. I am clean and organized, and I work hard. She is messy to the point of dirty, stubborn, disorganized, lazy and vindictive. She has tried to sabotage my relationship with our two children who are now in their late teens. In spite of her efforts, I have created a good relationship with my son. But my younger daughter is another story. She is like her mother: a spoiled brat. I know I am partly responsible for the way shes turned out. I would like to create a loving relationship before she goes to college in August. I know its late to fix this, but do you have any suggestions? Getting This Off My Chest Dear Getting: Its never too late to try to mend relationships. The first one should be with your wife. You are terribly resentful, and its obvious that you dont actually like her. Although you may have good reason, your children undoubtedly see it and react accordingly. It also fuels your wifes desire to get back at you. And finally, how you relate to your wife affects how you relate to your daughter, who has a similar personality. She identifies with Mom and may believe you resent and dislike her, as well. Get counseling alone, with your wife or with your daughter. Whatever you can arrange. Dear Annie: My 67-yearold mother is an alcoholic. Two years ago, she was diagnosed with dementia. Mom is now on medication for depression and high blood pressure and is living with my sister Shannon. I have seven siblings. When Shannon needs a break, my brothers and I take turns with Mom on the weekends. Mom wanders off during the day while Shannon is at work and catches a ride with strangers to get alcohol. My sister is tired and stressed and says she is fed up because we are not helping her. Its true that we all could do more, but no one really wants to. Mom is a handful.
Annies mailbox
Mom is capable of taking care of herself only when she is not drinking. Otherwise, she has outbursts and tantrums. Shannon has decided to place Mom in a facility. Mom is on a low fixed income. Where could she go? Worried Sis Dear Worried: First, take your mother to her physician and have her evaluated to see whether she can manage at an independent senior residence or requires an assisted-living facility. Then call the Eldercare Locator (eldercare.gov) at 1-800-677-1116 for information about available places, and take the time to visit those that seem appropriate. Please do not make Shannon do this on her own. Surely, eight children can do this for one mother, no matter how difficult she is. Dear Annie: I read the letter from Drowning in Junk, whose wife is a hoarder. He asked whether he could toss stuff while she is out of town. You were right to tell him not to do that. Cleaning out (throwing everything away without the hoarders involvement) can actually exacerbate the problem. Please ask Drowning to reach out to his local police, fire and health departments and ask whether there is a Hoarding Task Force in his area. Hoarding Task Forces are being organized nationwide. Often the task force will offer direct assistance or referrals to resources including cleaners, organizers and mental health organizations. We have a Hording Task Force here that consults all over the state. Burlington, Vt.

Horoscope
ARIES (March 21 April 19). Good fortune will depend on how people react to your deeds. Ponder the best approach. If youre bold, youll earn the publics support. If youre meek, youll earn their adoration and love. TAURUS (April 20 May 20). Even those who dont appear to hear the call of the wild will heed it. They may deny their animal nature, but that wont make it go away. You will embrace your animal nature, hear the call and heed it. GEMINI (May 21 June 21). Someone youre trying to help is being difficult a sign that he or she does not in fact need the help so desperately. The old saying goes that a drowning man isnt picky about who throws him a rope. CANCER (June 22 July 22). Youre not feeling completely enamored with a partnership, but it could still work out brilliantly, as many marriages of convenience do. This likely has to do with something other than a romantic relationship. LEO (July 23 Aug. 22). In regard to sand castles and domino mazes, futility is the whole point. Some games are made for destruction, and you have a more satisfying experience with them when you keep this in mind. VIRGO (Aug. 23 Sept. 22). You can fake applause more easily than you can fake laughter, and you may have to do both to get through todays little show. But the good news is, when you come home, its genuine joy all around! LIBRA (Sept. 23 Oct. 23). The person who is being greedy is really afraid that people wont think enough of him or her to provide for deep-seated needs. Allay this persons fear, and the greed will go away, too. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 Nov. 21). Youll have fun doing away with the formalities. Start a conversation in the middle or, even better, about three-quarters of the way through. Make a positive presumption and go from there. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 Dec. 21). Your intention changes an interaction. Instead of being concerned with what you can get out of a relationship, youll think only about enjoying the other person, who in turn will become most enjoyable. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 Jan. 19). Youll receive psychic information and know what a person is feeling or, more likely, hiding. This doesnt mean you have to call the person out. The kind thing would be to quietly make note and keep it to yourself. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 Feb. 18). Youre happy to help loved ones, but not when youre doing about 20 other things at the same time. Maybe you need more help than the people who are asking for it! PISCES (Feb. 19 March 20). Persevere. You dont have to change a thing about what youre doing; you just have to do it for a longer period of time. The resistance you are encountering eventually will wear down.

JC Breakfast Optimist Club

The Junction City Breakfast Optimist Club Board met Jan. 8 in the Hampton Inn Meeting Room. The meeting was called to order by President Tom Brungardt. Members recited the Pledge of Allegiance and The Optimist Creed. Members discussed possible fundraising activities. One of those may include a garage sale in the spring. Discussion will continue at a future meeting. The Kansas Governor of Optimist Clubs, Jane Harris, sent a check to the Junction City Breakfast Optimist Club as a shared incentive for the growth of Optimist Clubs in Zone 4, which the local club is designated. There has been significant membership growth across the state and in Zone 4 in particular. The incentive program is designed to continue that growth. Comments were made about the successful social gathering at the museum in December. There was good food, an opportunity to visit the galleries in the museum and good fellowship enjoyed by all. A thank you was received from the museums executive director and the curator for including them in the celebration. Programs for the month of January will include: Anais Lopez sharing information about the Affordable Care Act, Jeff Hoss performing on his bass and talking about the Blues, and continuing with the theme of Getting To Know Your Optimist Club Members, Red Dunham and Lawrence Long will share their reasons for being long-time members.

He told of his many experiences as Santa in the parade, and at his workshop in the park as he talked with the children. He also told the story of the significance of the candy cane and its red marking. He encouraged everyone to share what they had with others. Nellie Stone presented the moment in history from Dec. 7, 1939. The history of St. Nicholas was presented, and the club voted to enter a contest on international relations. Mrs. McShay told of her trip on the Rhine. Annette Ray thanked all the club members who donated cookies for the bloodmobile.

This time, Gipson had three dunks and was a key cog in the middle. I dont think we did handle him for the most part he had his way with us, TCU forward Amric Fields said of Gipson. We had problems with him all night. The Wildcats (12-3, 2-0 Big 12), who made their way into the Top 25 for the first time this season on Monday, played their first true road game of the season. But it didnt seem to faze them. Kansas State had its highest shooting percentage of the season both overall (52.5 percent) and from 3-point range (46.7 percent). When we were patient, we were able to exploit them and get it to Thomas (Gipson) and then Marcus Foster in the second half, Kansas State coach Bruce Weber said.

FORT WORTH, Texas Thomas Gipson knew he didnt play very well last season when he traveled home for Kansas States game at TCU, and he admits he was a little anxious for Tuesday nights game, too.

The University of Illinois and University of Kansas will play each other during both the 2023 and 2024 football seasons. The Illini and Jayhawks announced the home-and-home series on Tuesday. The Illini will travel to Lawrence, Kan., to play the Jayhawks on Sept. 9, 2023. The Jayhawks will come to Champaign to play the Illini on Sept. 7, 2024. Illinois and Kansas have played each other five times in the past. The Illini hold a 3-2 series edge over the Jayhawks. But Kansas won the last time the teams played. That was in 1968. The other games were all played before 1930.

The Junction City boys basketball team (3-2, 1-0) entered winter break riding one of its hottest streaks in recent memory, winning three of the final four games in December. The Blue Jays are hoping the three-week break doesnt chill the team lower than the recent temperature drop when they return to action against No 1 ranked Highland Park (5-0, 2-0) Friday night. Junction City coach Pat Battle said any coach who can successfully come up with a strategy to circumvent a long lay-off will be able to make a lot of money with a book deal. I think the best way to do it, Im hoping were successful, is weve just done a lot of competing in practice, a lot of competition things the last three weeks, he said. I really think that is the number one ingredient so that now when we have a competitive situation, weve been competing, weve been putting it on the clock, weve been keeping score J ORDAN so to speak.

A minor uproar broke out in the sports community Wednesday afternoon when it was revealed that ESPNs Dan Le Betard turned over his vote for the Baseball Hall of Fame to the readers of Deadspin.com. The revelation came after the Hall announced Greg Maddux, Frank Thomas and Tom Glavine were selected for enshrinement into Cooperstown. I have no qualms with any of the selections because while each of those three began their professional careers while E THAN I was still in diaP ADWAY pers (Glavine and Maddux actually debuted before my birth), each played at a high level for a long enough period of time that I remember their impact. Despite having no connection to any team Maddux played for, I still once drew a picture of him when I was a kid. While definitely not the most aweinspiring piece of art, it is still proudly displayed in my moms office all these years later. As a youngster trying to rise through the little league ranks, I could tell he was a special talent. But Deadspin obtaining a vote and passing it along to its readers is really intriguing. The website has gained notoriety for its propensity and unabashed dedication to showing an unfiltered look at the underside of athletics. This time, the website used its reach to give a vote to the fans. On the whole, the selections made by the Deadpin readers seem legitimate, since its top three were the ones selected. Le Betard said in a statement released by Deadspin he felt his vote has gotten pretty worthless in the avalanche of sanctimony that has swallowed it. Much of Le Betards criticism concentrates on the current issue as to whether players suspected of using steroids, or simply those who played in the steroid heyday, should be allowed access to the Hall. The one thing Im sure of is that I dont have near enough years walking this earth to decide the fate of those men. But Im not opposed to letting the fans have a say in the decision.

Nemanja Djurisic had 16 points and hit the tying 3-pointer with 1:39 to go, and Kenny Gaines and Brandon Morris hit a pair of free throws apiece in the final half-minute. The Bulldogs (7-6, 1-0) had lost consecutive road games by double digits at Georgia Washington and Colorado and was a double-digit underdog before ending Missouris 26-game home winning streak, which had been the longest in the nation. Jabari Brown had 19 points and Earnest Ross added 15 for Missouri (12-1, 1-1). Jordan Clarkson, who missed from the top of the key at the end of regulation, had 12 points.

WICHITA After his team won its 14th straight game, Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall challenged his players to make vast improvements on defense. Two games later, he will need to find something else to harp on. The sixthranked Shockers cruised past Illinois State 66-47 Wednesday night, holding the Redbirds to 32.7 percent shooting (18 of 55). Wichita State (16-0, 3-0 Missouri Valley Conference) managed to improve on the 33.9 percent shooting it limited Northern Iowa to on Sunday. We are just more engaged as a group on that end, Marshall said. We didnt have many individual breakdowns. Cleanthony Early and Ron Baker each scored 11 points for the Shockers, who extended both the longest winning streak and best start to a season in program history. Bobby Hunter came off the bench to score a team-high 11 points for Illinois State (8-7, 1-2), but the Redbirds starters were a combined 10 of 42 from the floor. Its something we talked about every day, Baker said. We have to improve defensively. We have to improve defensively. We have to improve defensively. It was more than once daily, really. Already up by 13 at halftime, Wichita State started the second half with seven straight points. Chadrack Lufile scored the first four down low, and Tekele Cotton hit a 3-pointer for a 44-24 lead. Thats a stretch when I dont think we competed as hard as we could, Illinois State coach Dan Muller said. We dropped our heads a little bit. They hit big shots.

an alley-oop slam pushed their advantage to 54-30 with 10:53 remaining. The spurt also contained the worst moments of the night for Wichita State. Starting point guard Fred VanVleet had his left leg bent awkwardly in a fight for a rebound. VanVleet immediately fell to the floor before walking to the locker room to be checked by doctors. It was a scary kind of thing, VanVleet said. I dont even remember what happened. I had the ball, and I think he went for it, too, and my knee pushed inward. VanVleet has been Wichita States best player lately. In the previous four games, he averaged 18.3 points while compiling 21 assists and just one turnover. So the crowd was subdued until Baker motioned for noise after throwing the alley-oop pass to Wiggins. VanVleet soon returned to the bench and played much of the final 10 minutes, finishing the game with six points, 10 assists, seven rebounds and no turnovers. Wichita State cruised upon his return. Darius Carters layup off VanVleets alleyoop gave the Shockers a 63-40 lead with 3:54 remaining, and Marshall started calling for walk-ons to enter the game. It was one of many lob passes for the Shockers. They start four guards and a big in that 2-3 zone, VanVleet said. So when we have 6-8 and 6-9 guys who can jump up to the square, we wanted to take advantage of that as much as we can. The Shockers started taking control midway through the first half. After a 3-pointer from Illinois States Paris Lee made the score 14-12 Shockers, Baker answered with a deep 3 to beat the shot clock buzzer. That started a 17-4 Wichita State run that featured 3-pointers from Baker and Cotton. The Shockers first-half advantage grew to as many as 15 after two free throws by Baker made it 31-16 with 4:14 to play in the half.
always make the best decisions. Often they will select a popular player over a more qualified selection when given the opportunity (see any All-Star game). But, to some extent, their voices should be heard. While many try to deny it, or even wipe its memory from the face of the earth, the steroid era existed. Users infiltrated every major league clubhouse. Now is the time we all must acknowledge and accept it. And, most importantly, learn from it. If people used even an
ounce of the time they spend debating whether suspected users belong in the Hall instead explaining to the kids why steroids and other performance enhancing drugs are detrimental to their growing bodies, change could actually be seen. After all, steroids are banned because of the health risks, not because they werent available when Babe Ruth played, right? If not, how are they different than any of the other modern luxuries and advances in technology available to players today?

Maddux, Glavine, Thomas elected to Hall of Fame

B Y RONALD B LUM
SPORTS
Associated Press
NEW YORK Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and Frank Thomas were elected to baseballs Hall of Fame on Wednesday, while Craig Biggio fell two votes short and tainted stars of the Steroids Era remained a long way from Cooperstown. Maddux was picked on 555 of 571 ballots by senior members of the Baseball Writers Association of America. His 97.2 percentage was the eighth-highest in the history of voting. Glavine, Madduxs longtime teammate in the Atlanta rotation, appeared on 525 ballots and received 91.9 percent. Thomas, the first Hall of Famer who spent the majority of his career as a designated hitter, was at 483 and 83.7 percent. Thomas said he accepts the view of many Hall of Famers that players whose accomplishments are muddied by accusations of steroid use, such as Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, dont belong in the Hall. Ive got to take the right stance, too. No, they shouldnt get in, he said. There shouldnt be cheating allowed to get into the Hall of Fame. The trio will be inducted July 27 along with manag-

ers Bobby Cox, Joe Torre and Tony La Russa, elected last month by the expansion-era committee. Maddux and Glavine, who played under Cox for most of their careers, will become the first pair of 300-game winners to be inducted in the same year. Its exciting for me to go in with my teammate, Maddux said. The only other time three players were elected together in their first appearances was in 1999 with Nolan Ryan, George Brett and Robin Yount. Biggio received 427 votes and 74.8 percent, matching Nellie Fox in 1985 and Pie Traynor in 1947 for the smallest margin to just miss. Traynor made it the following year, and Fox was elected by the old Veterans Committee in 1997. Biggio, who spent his entire career with the Houston Astros, appeared on 388 ballots last year in his initial appearance when writers failed to elect anyone and appears to be on track to gain election next year. Obviously, Im disappointed to come that close, he said in a statement. I feel for my family, the organization and the fans. Hopefully, next year. Mike Piazza was next with 62.2 percent, up from 57.8 last year. Jack Morris
was 78 votes short at 61.5 percent in his 15th and final appearance on the writers ballot, a drop from 67.7 percent. Morris replaces Gil Hodges (63 percent in 1983) as the player with the highest-percentage of the vote not in the Hall. Jeff Bagwell dropped to 54.3 percent from 59.6, and Tim Raines to 46.1 from 52.2. Controversy over how to evaluate stars tainted by the Steroids Era continued to impact the vote totals of players with stellar statistics. In their second appearances on the ballot, Roger Clemens dropped from 37.6 percent to 35.4, Barry Bonds from 36.2 to 34.7 and Sammy Sosa from 12.5 to 7.2. Bonds, baseballs career home run leader, is the only seven-time MVP in major league history. Clemens is the lone seven-time Cy Young Award winner. As for what they did, I dont think any of us will ever really know, Thomas said. But I can just tell you, what I did was real and thats why Ive got this smile on my face right now because the writers, they definitely got it right. Mark McGwire, appearing for the eighth time, fell from 16.9 to 11 percent down from a peak of 25.6 in 2008. Rafael Palmeiro will be dropped from future ballots after falling to 25 votes

and 4.4 percent below the 5 percent threshold necessary to remain eligible. One voter submitted a blank ballot. I can go home and sleep at night and rest, Thomas said, so I dont have to worry about all the nonsense that the other people are going through, because I know I wont be getting a call in the middle of the night from someone saying, oh, he did this or he did that. Deadspin.com announced Miami Herald columnist Dan Le Batard had turned his ballot over to the web-
Rex Arbogast The Associated Press
site, which allowed readers to vote on how it should be cast. I hate all the moralizing we do in sports in general, but I especially hate the hypocrisy in this, Le Batard said in remarks posted by Deadspin. I always like a little anarchy inside the cathedral weve made of sports. BBWAA Secretary-Treasurer Jack OConnell declined comment. Maddux reached the major leagues in 1986 and Glavine a year later. They become the first primarily starting pitchers to enter the Hall whose careers began after Bert Blyleven, who debuted in 1970. Eighth on the wins list with a 355-227 record and a 3.16 ERA over 23 seasons, Maddux won four consecutive Cy Young Awards from 1992-95 and a record 18 Gold Gloves with the Chicago Cubs, Atlanta, the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego. An eight-time AllStar, he won at least 13 games in 20 straight seasons.

win in the series could be especially important, considering the difficult stretch they face to start the Big 12 campaign. After Oklahoma, Kansas will host No. 25 Kansas State, visit No. 9 Iowa State, then host No. 11 Oklahoma State and No. 7 Baylor, all in succession. Its going to be a monster, Self said. Our league is great. When you think about OU and they go down and they win at Texas, and Texas wins at North Carolina. K-State is playing as well as anybody right now. Iowa State is obviously terrific, and Baylor. Weve probably been, nonconference-wise, one of the bigger disappointments in the league, based on our preseason expectations. I think its going to be a fabulous league. Cameron Clark had a career high-tying 32 points for Oklahoma (12-3, 1-1), which lost for the second time in three games. In losses to Louisiana Tech and Kansas, the Sooners gave up 102 and 90 points, respectively. It is very frustrating, Clark said. We just have to go back to the drawing board. It all starts on defense. We just have to come together as a group and figured out what it is we are not doing and get better at it. The annual visit to Lloyd Noble Center by the Jayhawks who have won or shared nine straight Big 12 titles drew fans including country music star Toby Keith, Oklahoma City Thunder chairman Clay Bennett, and Thunder general manager Sam Presti. Before the game, Oklahoma football player Sterling Shepard who scored two touchdowns in the Sooners win over Alabama in the Sugar Bowl appeared in a video in which he said, OK, basketball, we got our big win. Now its time to get yours. But the Sooners never really slowed Kansas and struggled to deal with the Jayhawks size advantage inside. Kansas had a 36-22 edge in rebounding and didnt seem bothered by a

subpar game by Andrew Wiggins. The star freshman went 2 of 9 from the field and scored only nine points, only the second time this season he failed to reach double digits. Kansas is awfully good and did a good job dictating a lot of it, for a majority of the minutes, Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger said. I thought our guys battled hard. There were maybe a couple of stretches in there when we didnt quite compete like we have to against a club like that to have a chance that wed like to have. Kansas led 50-44 at halftime and two free throws by Joel Embild made it 74-62 with 10:39 left. Oklahoma stayed within striking distance and pulled within four points four times, the last time at 87-83 after a turnover by Wiggins and steal by Ryan Spangler led to a dunk by Buddy Hield with 39.9 seconds left. Naadir Tharpe made two free throws moments later to push Kansas lead to six points and, after Clark missed a 3 at the other end, Ellis made the back end of a two-shot free-throw opportunity to make it 90-83 with 29.2 seconds left. Wiggins blocked another 3-point attempt, by Frank Booker, and the Jayhawks eventually were able to run out the clock. Tharpe scored 17 points for Kansas on 5-for-7 shooting. Hield had 18 points and eight rebounds for the Sooners, while Tyler Neal and Jordan Woodard had 10 points each. Woodard got all his scoring at the free-throw line, going 10 for 10 as Oklahoma made 29 of 36. Kansas went 24 for 30 from the line. Kansas shot 64.3 percent from the field in the first half, led by Selden Jr., who matched his previous career scoring high of 15 a little more than 8 minutes into the game. We were a team that lacked confidence coming in, so it was nice to see a freshman step up and basically give us confidence early on, because thats about as well as weve executed half-court offense, probably, all year, in the first half, Self said.
BLUE JAYS
to show them that were not to be messed with and they cant take it easy against us.
In his first year as the Junction City girls basketball coach, Nate Parks was only able to partially install his new up-tempo offense and defense before the season started. So Parks used the three-week winter break as a chance to finish moving his Blue Jays (2-3, 0-1) up to full speed before the team resumes its season at Highland Park (1-5, 0-2) Friday. Parks said he specifically focused on his teams movement on both offense and defense over the break. I think confidence and underEthan Padway The Daily Union Junction Citys Jonathan Wilds dribbles the standing what were trying to do on ball against Hays in the Shenk Gym at Junc- offense and defense has improved the most, he said. tion City High School on Dec. 17.

T:6.75"
Parks is familiar with Highland Park after spending four years as Junction Citys assistant coach before stepping into the head role this season. The Blue Jays defeated the Scots in both meetings last season. I think theyre probably going to try and play us like they did last year when they tried to press us then fell back into a zone, Parks said. Im guessing theyre going to do the same thing again so thats what Ive been preparing for. The dedication ceremony which will proceed both varsity games, pushed the girls contest after the boys, with an estimated 8:30 p.m. start time. Parks isnt worried about the time change affecting his teams play. One of the things weve always talked about is we try to prepare for our toughest opponent, he said. And if were prepared for our toughest opponent, were going to be okay with anybody.

Kansas State forward Thomas Gipson shoots against TCU center Karviar Shepherd in Fort Worth, Texas on Tuesday.
LM Otero The Associated Press
WILDCATS
about 120 miles from his hometown of Wichita Falls, Texas, added 16 points for the Wildcats. The reigning Big 12 newcomer of the week hit two 3-pointers in a one-minute span late in the second half that helped put the game out of reach. Hes so consistent and hes so focused for a young guy, Weber said. He made big shots for us where we were dying there in the second half. Fields scored 14 points and Kyan Anderson added 12 for TCU (9-5, 0-2), which trailed 31-21 at halftime. The Horned Frogs used a 10-2 run to get within 36-33 with 13:45 to play, but Kansas State responded with a 9-3 run keyed by a wideopen 3-pointer by Shane Southwell and the Wildcats lead wouldnt dip below seven points for the rest of the game.
TCU, which is 6-1 this season when out-rebounding its opponent, were pounded on the glass with Kansas State finishing with a 37-21 advantage. We had shots, TCU coach Trent Johnson said. When the ball doesnt go down it shouldnt affect the way you play on the other end. They had 18 turnovers but it didnt affect the way they played on the other end. What does that say? Theyre a mentally tough team. Powerful dunks by Gipson and Wesley Iwundu gave Kansas State a 20-10 lead with less than 6 minutes to play in the first half. TCUs next possession ended with a layup by Jarvis Ray and that ended a span of just three points in nearly 11 minutes for the Horned Frogs. The Wildcats went ahead 31-17 with 1:12 to play on a dunk by Gipson, but Andersons layup made it 31-21 as time expired in the first half.
