What began as a relaxing summer day for Army Capt. Derek Curtis and his family at a Milford Lake beach quickly turned to a day he and a Junction City teen will remember forever. The Fort Riley soldier, his wife and his kids were enjoying the East Rolling Hills Area beach when he realized a teenage girl in the water, who he later learned was 16-year-old Mikaela Nesbitt of Junction City, needed his help. Nesbitt had blacked out, but Curtis was able to swim out to her and bring her back to shore.

As images of a brain appeared on a computer screen, radiologic technologist Eric Loeb prepared for another patient visit while curious community members observed one of the newest developments at the hospital an MRI scanner. This is very encouraging that weve had this now, Loeb said. Geary Community Hospital (GCH) celebrated the installation of the MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and new CT (computed tomography) scanner for its Rago Radiology Department Thursday morning, as part of a JC Chamber of Commerce-sponsored event. According to hospital officials, the MRI is the newest and quietest full-body scanner on the market and improves the comfort level of patients. It replaced the previous unit, which sat outside in a trailer.
Eric Loeb works with the new MRI scanner at Geary Community Hospital
Chief Radiologist Dr. Pat Landes said the old MRI was a great system for its time, but its time to take a step forward. There were some people who had a claustrophobic experience going outside into a semitrailer, Landes said. Back in 1997, a CAT scan would take about 45 minutes. Now it takes less than 30 seconds to do one run. The technology is fascinating, Landes said. Thats what kind of drove me to go into radiology because things just change all the time. Chief Executive Officer Joe Stratton said the GCH developments are equal to, or in some cases better, than other area hospitals. From that standpoint weve taken a big step forward and were pleased with it, he said. Stratton said the hospital is not going to sit on the sidelines when it comes to providing technology for patients. Were going to compete, Stratton said. Please see Hospital, 10A

Land of milk and honey becomes Matfield Green

B Y F RANK J. B UCHMAN
Special to the Daily Union

When David Washington Mercer left England in 1858, his journey took him to a place in the Kansas Flint Hills he considered the land of milk and honey. So taken by the countryside, Mercer named his new hometown after a place near his former home in England: Matfield on the Green. Thus was the beginning of Matfield Green, Kansas, according to Lynn Smith, executive director of Pioneer Bluffs near Matfield Green, which will host another Pioneer Bluffs Ranching Heritage Prairie Talk Series program about

the history of the Mercer family at 1:30 p.m. today. Pioneer Bluffs, on the National Register of Historic Places, is the original homestead of the Rogler Ranch and now a nonprofit organization with a mission to respect the land, preserve history, and engage community, Smith said. After serving in the Civil War, forming Matfield Green and becoming its first postmaster, David Mercer operated a general store. He provided funding for his brother Alfred, and Alfreds wife and their 10 children, to join him in America, and that family homesteaded one days travel west of Matfield Green, Smith said. Nancy M. Griffin of
Cedar Point, James A. Mercer of Kansas City, Mo., and Marilyn M. Rowley of Valley Center are the greatgrandchildren of Alfred Mercer. The great-grandchildren along with Nancys husband, Richard, will lead a discussion on Flint Hills ranching and their rich family history, complete with photos from six generations, Smith said. Driving through the open range, I am in awe of the hills and thankful to our ancestors who made this lifestyle possible, Nancy Griffin said. I do not take it for granted, and we have committed to keep the ranch and homestead a viable working legacy. The Mercer familys voyages across the ocean
on wooden ships, the Homestead Act of 1861, and a charming green for playing cricket intertwine in the Mercer story of ranching heritage, Smith said. They became farmers and ranchers at a time when ranchers grew the feed they needed for cattle and horses, she said. Through the years, the Mercers adapted operations using modern technology and a tradition of conservation. Matfield Green has evolved from a spot on the prairie with a one-room schoolhouse, to a booming railroad community with six grocery stores and a brick school built in 1919, to the charismatic, active community of today, Smith said.
At this Prairie Talk program, open and free to the public, the family panel will also discuss how the culture of agriculture has changed, while it holds tight to basic values necessary for the continuance of a rural community, Smith said. Pioneer Bluffs is located one mile north of Matfield Green, or 15 miles south of Cottonwood Falls on the Flint Hills National Scenic Byway K-177. Information is available from Smith at (620) 7533484, or lynn@pioneerbluffs.org. The next unique storyprogram in the Pioneer Bluffs Ranching Heritage Prairie Talk Series will feature the Moxley family on March 1.

With daubers held aloft, players young and old watched the bingo screen as call after call was made during Family Bingo Jan. 19 at Rally Point Bingo. The thrill of anticipation is what Jenna Judd, 10, said she likes most about playing bingo. I like that the chances of getting something big, like (the prizes), are very slim, and when you get close to it, you feel very excited, Jenna said. Jenna had just won a gaming chair with built-in speakers and ergonomic features. Shes got the headphones she can plug into her chair, so shes

excited, said her mother, Bobbi. Immediately after winning, Jenna texted her older sister, Samantha, 16, to share the news. Well, I suppose that brings a new meaning to the musical chair, her sister replied via text. Jenna said she looks forward to using the chair with her Wii game system, but when asked if she was going to let her sister try the chair, she added playfully, I dont know. Ill have to think about it. Despite competing with unseasonably warm weather, NFL playoffs and a four-day weekend, the event seemed to be well attended. Weve got a lot of new people, too, which is nice, said Dave Kennedy, bingo manager, Rally Point. Its something that we can do for the whole family, and thats a
big thing. As children hung out with their parents and played with one another, the family-friendly event seemed to provide a welcoming atmosphere for the community. We use it as family time. Its nice to get out of the house and do something different, said Stella Gibson, Department of Defense employee. I like that the concession stand is inexpensive. That way, everybody can have (a snack). Stellas daughter Raeanne, 14, who won a Loopz game, said she likes coming because she and her siblings get the opportunity to win prizes. The kids have fun doing this, said Mike Steffens, business manager, Rally Point.
Ten games were played during the event. Each game had two winners one child and one adult. Children were awarded prizes like a karaoke machine, digital camera, gaming chair, handheld gaming device and other games. Adults were awarded cash payouts, ranging from $25 to $200. Family Bingo is offered monthly at Rally Point. We try to do the Family Bingo every month, Bobbi said. This is the only time that (Jenna) can come because shes under 16. The next Family Bingo will be at 2 p.m. Feb. 16 at Rally Point. Tickets are $5 for children and $10 for adults. Doors open at 12:30 p.m. For more information, visit rileymwr.com/rallypoint.

Plea negotiations could soon be in the works for Glen Irwin, the man accused of stealing funds raised by the Geary County Childrens Choir. Irwin appeared in District Court Thursday for a status hearing. The hearing was continued because he apparently would like to discuss entering plea negotiations with prosecutors. Following the hearing, Geary County Deputy Attorney John Taylor said hes sure Irwin would like to negotiate an agreement, but that route hasnt yet been determined. I dont know, Taylor said. Its entirely possible. Irwin faces one count of felony theft.

Court documents state the alleged theft occurred between Jan. 1, 2012 and June 8, 2013. Last week, choir director Greg Gooden told The Daily Union Irwin, the organizations former business manager, embezzled $10,000. The choir was raising the funds for a $35,000 trip to Colorado Springs this summer for a performance tour. The money would have been used for transportation, snacks and meals. The choir now is trying to replace the funds, but
earlier this month missed its first payment of more than $8,000. The next payment is due in February. Gooden said Irwin lied to choir leaders, saying he needed the money because he had liver cancer. The leaders reported Irwin to police after finding out he wasnt sick. Police arrested Irwin Jan. 21. He currently is out on bond. Irwin is scheduled to appear in court Feb. 13 for a status hearing.
some of the different candidates who have expressed interest in running for different positions in 2014, not only for those directly affecting Geary County such as the U.S. Representative for the 1st Congressional District but also for other state positions as well. Wagnon said the Democratic party has targeted 10 races where we think we can pick up seats. The Geary County Democratic Women also welcomed three potential candidates for area races this fall one, Tom Brunghart, who will be running for state representative, and two, Debbie Wharton and Jim Sherow, who are considering running for the position in the 1st Congressional District. Each was invited to speak for three minutes about their upcoming campaign.

United Nations official dismayed at failure of Syria aid deal

UNITED NATIONS U.N. humanitarian chief Valerie Amos deplored the failure of Syrian peace talks to produce a plan for getting aid to besieged communities, while momentum built for Security Council action to pressure the warring sides to allow access. The situation is totally unacceptable, Amos said. We need urgent action now. Sieges must be lifted. Ceasefire agreements must be agreed and convoys allowed to proceed immediately and safely. The Geneva negotiations ended Friday with no concrete results. An agreement to allow aid convoys into the central city of Homs remains stalled, with Syrian officials demanding assurances that U.S. aid will not go to armed and terrorist groups. The government and opposition have accused each other of holding up the aid delivery into Homs, which has been under siege for nearly two years. British Foreign Secretary William Hague said Friday his country believes that there is a compelling case for bringing the humanitarian situation back under discussion in the Security Council. We will discuss urgently with our partners what steps can be taken to ensure that aid reaches all those in Syria who need it, he said. Diplomats say Arab and Western countries have been working together on a Security Council resolution to pressure Syrias sides to allow humanitarian access into the blockaded areas. The diplomats had been waiting to see if the Geneva talks produced an agreement on Homs before moving ahead on a resolution.
WASHINGTON Roman Polanski. Edward Snowden. Manuel Noriega. Over the years, the famous and the infamous have been caught up in the legal process called extradition, which governs whether one country will turn over fugitives from justice to another country. It may ultimately be the turn of Amanda Knox, whose murder conviction in the stabbing of her roommate has been reinstated by an Italian court, raising the specter of a long extradition fight. She says shell never willingly go back to Italy. The Knox case is special because it raises the question of whether the U.S. government would send one of its own citizens to a foreign country to face a long prison term. The answer: Its been done before, though in less high-profile cases involving the governments of Canada, Mexico and other nations. The U.S. has extradition treaties with more than 100 countries, including Italy, providing what would appear to be a strong legal foundation in favor of a request for Knoxs return to Italy. Its absolutely not the case that an individual will not be extradited just because they are a U.S. citizen, says Douglas McNabb, an international criminal defense attorney and an expert in international extradition law. Time is on the side of Knoxs lawyers. Proceedings could take up to a year to play out in the Italian courts. If Italy were to file a provisional arrest warrant after the Italian proceedings end, Knoxs lawyers could take the U.S. government through a judicial process in the courts and an administrative process at the State Department, which would make the decision. State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf declined comment Friday when asked wheth-
Amanda Knox prepares to leave the set following a television interview on Friday in New York.
er the U.S. has received an extradition request for Knox from Italian authorities, saying that information is private and confidential. She said the State Department is monitoring the case as it works its way through the Italian legal system but refused to provide further details, such as whether Secretary of State John Kerry would make the final decision on Knox if Italy asks for her to be returned. The U.S. has had an extradition treaty with Italy since 1984 and has denied at least several requests since then. Mary Fan, a former federal prosecutor, suggested that any decision by the State Department on whether to return Knox to Italy is a matter of both law and politics. From a U.S. standpoint, the case at first seems to raise questions about double jeopardy being tried twice for the same offense, something thats barred by the U.S. Constitution. Knox was first convicted, then acquitted, then, on Thursday, the initial conviction was reinstated. Some observers dismiss the double-jeopardy argument because Knoxs acquittal was not finalized by Italys highest court. Questions also have been raised about whether the State Department might conduct a review of the evidence and ultimately decide it doesnt support extradition. The treaty says the country requesting extradition shall provide a summary of the facts and evidence in the case that establish a reasonable basis to believe that the person sought committed the offense. But Christopher Jenks, a former Army attorney who served as a State Department legal adviser and now teaches at Southern Methodist Universitys law school, said thats a low bar, and that theres no reason why Italy wouldnt be able to put together a sufficient extradition request. He also noted that although any request would wind up before a U.S. federal judge, the courts role would largely be to ensure the paperwork is in order and that basic requirements are met. Shes not going to be able to relitigate did she do it in a federal court, he said. Your chances of anything coming of that are slim to none. Some of the best-known extradition battles have been the reverse of what the Knox case would be. Filmmaking legend Polanski, leaker Snowden and
Associated Press
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange have been the targets of U.S. efforts to bring them back to this country. Polanski, a French citizen, fled to France before he was to be sentenced in the U.S. for having sex with a minor. France does not extradite its own citizens. Snowden fled from Hong Kong, which has an extradition treaty with the U.S., to Russia, which doesnt. Noriega, once the strongman who ran Panama, was extradited from the U.S. to France to Panama to face various drugrelated criminal charges. Assange fled to the Ecuadorean Embassy in London. Ecuadors modern leftist government is having difficult relations with the U.S., even though the two countries have an extradition treaty. Granted asylum, Assange was avoiding extradition to Sweden where he would face allegations by two women of sexual assault, which he denies. On Thursday, Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., said she is very concerned and disappointed by this verdict in the Italian court case. I will continue to closely monitor this case as it moves forward through the Italian legal system. Knox is from Seattle.
Keystone XL oil pipeline clears significant hurdle

WASHINGTON The long-delayed Keystone XL oil pipeline cleared a major hurdle Friday as the State Department raised no major environmental objections to the controversial pipeline from Canada through the heart of the U.S. Republicans and some oil- and gas-producing states cheered, but the report further rankled environmentalists already at odds with President Barack Obama. The department report stops short of recommending approval of the $7 billion pipeline, which has become a major symbol of the political debate over climate change. But the review gives Obama new cover if he chooses to endorse the pipeline in spite of opposition from many Democrats and environmental groups. Foes say the pipeline would carry dirty oil that contributes to global warming. They also worry about a spill. Republicans and business and labor groups have urged Obama to approve the pipeline to create thousands of jobs and move toward North American energy independence. The pipeline is also strongly supported by Democrats in oil and gas-producing states, including Sens. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Mark Begich of Alaska and Mark Pryor of Arkansas. All face re-election this year and could be politically damaged by rejection of the pipeline. Republican Mitt Romney carried all three states in the 2012 presidential election. The 1,179-mile pipeline would travel through the heart of the United States, carrying oil derived from tar sands in western Canada to a hub in Nebraska, where it would connect with existing pipelines to carry more than 800,000 barrels of crude oil a day to refineries in Texas. Canadian tar sands are likely to be developed regardless of U.S. action on the pipeline, the report said, and other options to get the oil from Canada to Gulf Coast refineries including rail, trucks and barges would be worse for climate change. Approval or denial of any one crude oil transport project ... is unlikely to significantly impact the rate of extraction in the oil sands or the continued demand for heavy crude oil at refineries in the United States, the report states. State Department approval is needed because the pipeline crosses a U.S. border. The Environmental Protection Agency and other departments will have 90 days to comment before State makes a recommendation to Obama on whether the project is in the national interest. A final decision by the government is not expected before summer. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the report once again confirms that there is no reason for the White House to continue stalling construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. Addressing Obama, McConnell said: Mr. President, no more stalling, no more excuses. Please pick up that pen youve been talking so much about and make this happen. Americans need these jobs. However, a top official at the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group, said the report gives Obama all the information he needs to reject the pipeline. Piping the dirtiest oil on the planet through the heart of America would endanger our farms, our communities, our fresh water and our climate. That is absolutely not in our national interest, said Susan Casey-Lefkowitz, the NRDCs international program director. The new report comes only days after Obamas State of the Union address, in which he reiterated his support for an all-of-the-above energy strategy that embraces a wide range of sources, from oil and natural gas to renewables such as wind and solar power. The remarks were a rebuff to some of his environmental allies who argued that Obamas support of expanded oil and gas production doesnt make sense for a president who wants to reduce pollution linked to global warming. Obama blocked the Keystone XL pipeline in January 2012, saying he did not have enough time for a fair review before a looming deadline forced on him by congressional Republicans. That delayed the choice for him until after his re-election. Obamas initial rejection of the pipeline went over badly in Canada, which relies on the U.S. for 97 percent of its energy exports. The pipeline is critical to Canada, which needs infrastructure in place to export its growing oil sands production.

very American needs to save more money. Millions of Americans are struggling in retirement part-time jobs to keep food on the table. Fast food restaurants are filled with American seniors working for minimum wage in order to survive. Every dollar put toward retirement will eventually be needed for shelter, food and medical expenses. Each year millions of people live longer than the money they had saved for retirement lasts. President Obama has an idea with a new government backed IRA account called MyRA that will encourage all Americans to contribute up to 15,000 a year. The contributions would not be tax deductible but like a Roth IRA the interest would be taxfree. Contributions can be as low as $25 to start and people earning up to $191,000 a year may contribute through their employers. Savings can last as long as 30 years before being transferred to a private Roth IRA. Earnings on the savings will be the same as the federal employees Thrift Savings Plan Government Securities Investment Fund. This fund earned 1.74 percent last year. Im glad for any safe and inexpensive way for Americans to save money. Some things make me nervous. Our government handles our Social Security. Aging Americans are now waiting longer and longer to collect earned benefits. The funds really do not even exist. Every month our government robs Peter to pay Paul in order to keep the Social Security checks coming. Our government has mismanaged Social Security. Do we feel secure about this government run supplemental retirement plan? Our government is handling our medical coverage through Medicare, Medicaid and now the Affordable Care Act. Each year the government will need more and more of your money through taxes to keep all of this solvent. Our infrastructure is hurting. Funds for American interstates, bridges, our national parks, research to find cures for cancer and other diseases is lean. Will this new savings plan and other ideas eventually eliminate the current military retirement plan? Is this a slick new way to eventually cut out the Federal retirement plan? Could this idea and other ideas eliminate our current Social Security? We need to at least beware. Our government is struggling to keep Federal, military and Social security checks moving. I agree that all Americans need safe and accessible ways to save money. However, dont be blindsided by easy new programs that could eliminate what millions of Americans have already spent 20 to 30 years working toward.
Farm subsidies reveal double standard C

ongress has left me confused. Stunned, actually, as well as bewildered, chagrined and slightly depressed. The GOP-dominated House has passed a bill that defies compassion, mathematics and common sense. OK, so theres nothing unusual about that. Point taken. But the recent passage of a farm bill, after months of delay, is an especially sharp example of congressional priorities protect the rich and punish the poor, comfort the comfortable while brutalizing the afflicted. The bill will cut the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), usually known as food stamps, while preserving subsidies for farmers, most of whom could get by quite nicely without help. By contrast, many Americans are struggling with a globalized, roboticized economy that has devalued the average worker. The new economy has forced down wages, eliminated job security and abandoned traditional perks such as pensions. It is quite possible to work 40 or 50 hours a week and still need help to put food on the table, as the managers of food pantries around the country will attest. Yet, congressional observers are predicting that the farm bill will pass the Senate and get President Obamas signature. While most Democrats dont like the cuts, the current bill, they figure, is the best they can do. It takes about 1 percent from SNAP around $800 million a year in the $80 billion-ayear program but thats less than conservatives had initially sought. Still, if Republicans really care about deficits, if they really want to rein in government, if they believe people ought to stand on their own two feet and refuse the welfare state, why are they preserving welfare for those who

Commentary need it least? Do they not see the glaring hypocrisy in their insistence on farm subsidies? The bill does end the least politically defensible part of farm welfare: direct payments, paid to farmers whether they plant or not. But it continues a host of other unnecessary programs that cost billions including crop subsidies and crop insurance. Indeed, the bill increases some crop subsidies, such as those to Southern peanut farmers. And the remaining programs are just as bad as the direct payments. Take crop insurance, which has its roots in the Dust Bowl era. Though conditions have changed substantially since then the small family farmer has virtually disappeared crop insurance has mushroomed. In 2012, according to The Insurance Journal, taxpayers spent $14 billion insuring farmers against a loss of income. Is there any other business in America that gets that sort of benefit? Arent farmers supposed to be entrepreneurs willing to take risks? This farm welfare comes at a time when agricultural income is soaring. Last year, farm income was expected to top $120 billion, its highest mark, adjusted for inflation, since 1973, the Insurance Journal said. Lots of millionaires and billionaires are on the list of those receiving the assistance. One case of mind-boggling hypocrisy is that of U.S. Rep. Stephen Fincher, a
Republican and a farmer from Frog Jump, Tenn., who collected nearly $3.5 million in subsidies from 1999 to 2012, according to the Environmental Working Group. In 2012, he received $70,000 in direct payments alone again, money paid to farmers whether they plant or not. (Can anyone say moochers and takers?) Fincher, however, supports draconian cuts to food stamps. During a congressional debate over the SNAP program, he said, without apparent irony: We have to remember there is not a big printing press in Washington that continually prints money over and over. This is other peoples money that Washington is appropriating and spending. I dont know why the cognitive dissonance doesnt make his brain explode. Fraud, by the way, is rampant in farm subsidies, although youre unlikely to hear anything about it. While the occasional welfare cheat or food stamp grifter is held up as an example of widespread abuse, neither politicians nor reporters talk much about the fraud involved in agricultural programs. You have to burrow into reports from the Government Accountability Office for that. They point to millions stolen by farm cheats. Its enough to make you wonder what the food stamp critics are really upset about. Government spending? Or giving the working poor a little more to eat?

Re-state of the Union

B Y JOHN S TOssEL
Special to The Daily Union
resident Barack Obamas State of the Union address Tuesday wasnt what I wanted to hear. This is what the president should have said: I cannot imagine what I was thinking when I pushed Obamacare. I now see it is folly to entrust government, which cannot balance its books and routinely loses track of billions of dollars, with even greater power over health care. If something as simple as a website is too much for government to get right, imagine what government will do to complicated medical pricing and insurance plans. Foolishly, my plan destroyed many sensible insurance plans some offering catastrophic-only coverage for a lower price exactly the insurance so many people need. I see my fellow Democrat, Rep. Jim Moran of Virginia, seated nearby. I take to heart his comments, which he can safely make now that hes retiring from Congress, about how Obamacare is economi-
cally doomed, with few young people signing up but sick old people taking money out. The math doesnt add up. Now that I think about it, it would be better to end government involvement in health care altogether and let people shop around for the best free-market plans, including catastrophe-only plans, depending on individual needs. Lets try that. In fact, lets see if I can revise other items in my agenda so they work better for consumers ... Minimum wage laws, for example. Although a higher minimum is popular with people from both parties, minimums make no sense. The law cannot make an employee who a company values at $5 an hour become worth $10. Minimum wage laws just increase unemployment by eliminating some jobs. They dont do the poor any favors. Lets repeal them. And lets get the feds out of the preschool business! Government does a bad job with K-12 education. Why would we think our central planning should expand? My education department funded studies of Head Start, and we were all astounded to learn that they have no effect. Its insane
to do more of something that our own research shows does not work. Education should be left to local governments and parents. Immigration: Its odd that Im seen as a friend to immigrants, given that Ive deported more of them than the previous president did. But if we dont want people breaking immigration laws, the best thing to do is simplify the law. Conservatives worry that people will come here to mooch off the welfare state or commit crimes. So how about letting people in with quick and simple procedures focused on checking for crime and terrorism, but saying no immigrant is eligible for welfare? That compromise makes sense. National Security Agency surveillance: After all the outrage over the Patriot Act, you must have been surprised, America, to discover that the NSA does even more snooping under my presidency. I will not abandon the basic governmental duty to keep citizens safe, but we should limit snooping to people whom we have probable cause to suspect might be terrorists. Climate: I think the greenhouse effect is real, but the evidence that humanitys
contribution to it will cause dire problems is debatable. Better to reduce Environmental Protection Agency micromanagement and let America get as rich as possible. This will help us cope with environmental side effects and afford the research necessary to find better sources of energy. Global warming is a theoretical problem. We have real problems, like reducing our debt and getting clean water to the worlds poor. Drugs: I used marijuana and cocaine, and I understand that some people are harmed by drugs. But adults should have the right to decide what to put in their own bodies. If people struggle with addiction as Ive struggled to give up cigarettes putting them in prison isnt a smart way to help. Lets legalize all drugs. End the futile and violent drug war. After all, you own your own body and mind. If more of our policies respected that fact, our union truly would be strong.

Emergency services shut down at Topeka VA Hospital

TOPEKA The Veterans Health Administration has ordered emergency medical services suspended at a Topeka VA hospital. The federal agency on Friday announced the suspension for ColmeryONeil VA Medical Center, which will continue to operate as an urgent care clinic while federal officials review its policies, procedures and staffing, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported. Further reasons for the closure were not immediately released. Veterans reporting to the hospital will be given appropriate care but officials are advising those with major medical emergencies to call 911. VA officials said in a news release that contacts have been made with Topeka hospitals and ambulance services to ensure veterans can get emergency care when needed. Sen. Jerry Moran, a member of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, criticized the decision, saying the Veterans Administration has failed to address a long-standing shortage of medical personnel at its hospitals. Many veterans who live in rural Kansas already have to travel long distances to a VA hospital. Now, Topeka veterans are losing access to the emergency care services they could need at any moment, Moran said in a statement. This is outrageous. He said it is far past time for Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki and the VA to do their job. I have asked time and again about their failure to address the tremendous shortage of VA physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants, Moran said. It is causing a new VA backlog a backlog of our nations heroes who are not receiving the health care they need. The Capital-Journal reported that Moran in November 2013 introduced legislation to expand eligibility for emergency care treatment reimbursement for veterans. Current law prohibits the Veterans Administration from reimbursing emergency room care at non-VA hospitals for veterans who havent received care at a VA clinic or hospital within the past two years. Morans bill would waive the two-year requirement and allow veterans to be reimbursed for emergency care at non-VA facilities. The measure is awaiting a vote in the full Senate.

Judge delays ruling on request to record DNA tests

WICHITA A Sedgwick County judge says he will wait two more weeks before decide whether to order the video recording of DNA testing in the deaths of a southern Kansas couple late last year. The Wichita Eagle reports District Judge Jeff Goering said Friday he would resume a hearing Feb. 14 after defense attorneys consult with their DNA experts to determine what needs to be recorded. Fo r t y - e i g h t - ye a r- o l d Roger Bluml and 53-yearold Melissa Bluml were shot in the head Nov. 15 at their home near Valley Center. Melissa Bluml died the next day, and her husband died Dec. 21. Testing is expected to consume all the DNA evidence. Defense lawyers say taping the procedure would at least provide some oversight. Four defendants, including the victims son, are charged with capital murder.

Goodland police turn death case over to prosecutor

GOODLAND A western Kansas police department has finished its investigation into the death of a 58-year-old Kansas City, Mo., woman two days after she was jailed for possessing marijuana. The Kansas City Star reports Goodland police have turned the case over to the Sherman County prosecutors office to determine what action should be taken. Brenda Sewell and her sister were pulled over for speeding by the Kansas Highway Patrol in Goodland on Jan. 20. A trooper arrested them after finding marijuana, and they were taken to jail. Sewells relatives say jailers didnt give her medication and were slow to help when she became ill and began to foam at the mouth on Jan. 22. She was pronounced dead at Goodland Regional Medical Center.
Kansas chief justice establishes advisory council

TOPEKA Kansas Supreme Court Chief Justice Lawton Nuss has created an advisory council of state district court chief judges to provide insights into matters facing the court system. Nuss announced Friday that he had signed an order Jan. 10 to create the seven-member council The intent is to get feedback from the 31 district courts in Kansas on matters relating to court procedures and administration, including funding. The chief justice said the diverse group of judg-
es will provide him with their insight on issues, as well as suggestions for matters the Supreme Court should consider. It will allow me to provide informed leadership on topics that affect our local courts in different ways based on caseloads, staffing and community needs, Nuss said in a statement. Chief judges manage their courts with general oversight from Supreme Court justices, so I expect this to be, for the most part, a selfdirected group. The council selected David Ricke, chief judge of the 13th Judicial District of Butler, Elk and Greenwood counties, to serve as chairman. Two of the members, including Ricke, will serve one-year terms expiring Dec. 31 while the other five will serve two-year terms ending Dec. 31, 2015. The formation comes as Nuss and the judicial branch negotiate with the Legislature over how to address a projected $8.25 million shortfall in the judicial branch budget for the upcoming fiscal year. Nuss has suggested that absent an increase in state funding he would be forced to furlough court employees and close courthouses for a number of days sometime after July 1. Nuss has exchanged a series of letters about judicial funding with Senate Vice President Jeff King, who is also chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. King served on a 2011 commission formed by Nuss to look at judicial funding and make recommendations for statutory changes in how the courts operate. King, and Independence Republican, has indicated a desire to revisit recommendations that have yet to be enacted, including
better management of case filings through an electronic system for all Kansas courts. He disagrees with Nuss over how much additional funding the judicial branch needs and how the gap could be closed. Both Nuss and King have talked about keeping lines of communications open during the legislative session. Judge Patrick McAnany, who was chairman of the 2011 commission, is scheduled to testify Monday before Kings committee.
Clyde man plans to run against Huelskamp

SALINA A Republican from Clyde is planning to run against incumbent U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp, a Kansas congressman who faced no opposition in seeking re-election two years ago. Alan LaPolice, who grew up on a dairy farm in north-central Kansas, is planning to kick off his campaign for the 1st Congressional District on Feb. 22 in Concordia, The Salina Journal reported. Huelskamp, a conservative Republican, won the seat in the strongly GOP district in 2010. He faced no opposition in seeking re-election in 2012. Others who have said theyre running include Republican Kent Roth, an attorney in Ellinwood; independent David Joyce, an Abilene truck driver; and Democrats Jim Sherow, a history professor at Kansas State University, and Bryan Whitney, a student at Wichita State University from Syracuse. Only Whitney has officially filed as a candidate, according to the Kansas
Secretary of States office. LaPolice joined the Army after graduating from Clifton-Clyde High School, according to his website. After serving in the Army, LaPolice attended the University of California-Berkeley, worked as an actor and taught English in Los Angeles for 10 years before being named high school principal. He and his family moved back to Kansas about a year ago and live in a house they bought 10 years ago. Huelskamps campaign office didnt immediately return an email seeking comment Friday.
Man gets probation for killing girlfriends cat

JUNCTION CITY A Junction City man was sentenced to one year of probation for killing his girlfriends cat by stuffing cigarettes and cotton swabs down its throat. KMAN reports William Lemieux Jr., who had pleaded no contest to animal cruelty in November, was sentenced Friday in Geary County District Court. Lemieux also was ordered to pay costs and not to contact his girlfriend. He also is not allowed to have pets and must follow all recommendations from a domestic violence assessment and a drug and alcohol evaluation. Lemieuxs girlfriend found her cat dead in a bag in a trash can near her home. Assistant County Attorney Michelle Brown said a veterinarian later found three cigarettes and a cotton swab jammed in the cats throat.

Man does not love older woman

Dear Annie: I am 53 and am in love with a 33-year-old man. Weve been together for three years, but the problem is that he says he just wants to be friends. I care about him a lot. I think there may be someone else, but Im not sure. I dont want to lose him from my life. What should I do? Should I tell him how I feel? Should I ask him whether hes seeing another woman? I need answers. Dee Dear Dee: When a man tells you he just wants to be friends, please believe him. He is no longer interested in you romantically. Whether or not he has someone else is irrelevant. If you want him in your life, it will have to be on his terms as a friend and nothing more. If that is not possible for you, please say goodbye altogether, no matter how difficult. Theres no point moping around when its over. Youll only make yourself more miserable. We recommend hot cocoa with your favorite movie, followed by a luxurious bath and commiserating with good friends. Dear Annie: You have helped perpetuate an erroneous but widely held belief by printing a letter that referred to an ostrich burying its head in the sand. The misconception exists because an ostrich sleeps with its head resting on the ground. Viewed from a distance, the head may appear to be buried, but it most definitely is not. If an ostrich really did bury its head, it would suffocate. La Crescenta, Calif. Dear La Crescenta: Thanks for providing an opportunity to get into an obscure but charming subject. According to the American Ostrich Association, a male ostrich will dig a hole for the nest that can be up to 8 feet wide and 3 feet deep, so that predators cannot see the eggs from a distance. Male and female ostriches take turns sitting on the eggs in that lowered position and blend into the horizon. When the birds periodically turn the eggs over with their beaks, it can appear as if their heads are buried in the sand. Now we know. Dear Annie: This is in response to Joining the Letting Go Club. My father was Mr. Charming. What wasnt seen was the physical, verbal and emotional abuse. He expected to continue the control even after we were grown and then with

our children. He worked hard to pit the siblings against each other. It was horrible. I have nothing to do with him. My in-laws are blatantly biased toward my husbands sister. She was involved with drugs, has a criminal record and treats her parents terribly. Yet they think the sun rises and sets on her. They have totally enabled her and given her tons of money. My husband never caused them trouble, paid his own way for college and visits them regularly. They cant seem to bother with him. My husband has gotten to the point where he is done with them. And finally, there is this perspective. We are in our mid-40s with three kids. We have a difficult time understanding todays parenting style, unless it is to copy the way they were raised: the idea that their kids can do no wrong and never need be held accountable, and that kids should only do whatever makes them happy. I actually heard a friend tell her daughters not to worry about anyone elses feelings, and they should care only about their own happiness and doing whatever they want. Its no wonder this makes for selfish, self-centered people. These kids have trouble maintaining relationships. Once things dont go their way, they walk. I heard a person say about his family, They dont bring anything to the table for me, so why bother? Parents have created these selfish kids. They should not be surprised by the outcome.

Horoscope
ARIES (March 21April 19). You wont be able to teach someone a lesson. Sure your methods are sound and your capabilities mighty. But unfortunately, people dont generally learn lessons they dont want to learn. Save your energy; focus elsewhere. TAURUS (April 20May 20). If the signals you send are mixed by design, youll be most charismatic and intriguing. If they are mixed because you dont yet know yourself or what you want, the effect will be off-putting. GEMINI (May 21June 21). You can seldom detect what is going on inside a house from the outside. There could be a three-ring circus inside or the place could be vacant. People are like that, too. You have to knock on the door to find out the situation. CANCER (June 22July 22). Its better to have many people speaking kindly of you among themselves than it is to have one person speaking kindly of you to many. People like to discover your good qualities for themselves. LEO (July 23Aug. 22). The Swedish proverb suggests, Dont let your sorrow come higher than your knees, and yet, your sorrow doesnt tend to start in your toes. It starts in your mind, and can be stopped there, too. VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22). Stubbornness and determination are essentially the same force a will at full throttle, which can be applied to slamming on the breaks or pressing on the gas. LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 23). Because others have seen you be polite and calm in stressful situations, you will be entrusted with an important role. You dont have to know everything about this job going in. Youll learn as you go. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Your life will be made easier if there is at least one person who will do as you request without much hassle. Youve earned this respect and should use it to your advantage instead of modestly declining as you usually do. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Youre likely to be generous by mistake today because you just happen to be where there are people in need, and willing and able to give what is needed. Generosity, even by mistake, still counts. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). The acquisition of facts does not make a person educated. So if you cant remember all of the data thrown at you today, dont worry. Its the practical application of but a few key facts that will matter. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). A technique you might use to forge friendly bonds is to compliment the unique accomplishment of another. In doing so, you will raise this persons opinion of you and quickly bond as part of the same team. PISCES (Feb. 19March 20). You tend not to want the attention of people who make you have to prove yourself before they will let you in their club. These people are simply not keen or observant enough to warrant your attention.

FHRC wants more information on casino

B Y T IM WEIDEMAN
FROM PAGE ONE/NEWS
Local officials appear to be supportive of efforts to bring a casino to Geary County, but some Flint Hills Regional Council representatives seem more cautious. During the councils monthly meeting, held Friday at the C.L. Hoover Opera House in Junction City, several representatives said they want more information before the council comes out as supportive of the casino goal. I definitely would want to know the impact economically and the management structure (of a casino), Morris County Com-
missioner Vernon Hay said. The council decided it would be best to have a presentation on the impacts of the proposed casino at its February meeting, which will be held in Manhattan. State Rep. Allan Rothlisberg (R-Grandview Plaza) is sponsoring a bill that, if approved, would create a fifth Kansas casino district. The state currently has four established districts where casinos could be built. A casino has yet to be built in a district in southeast Kansas. Grandview Plaza City Council member Honey Grant, the towns representative to the council, said
she supports Rothlisbergs efforts. To Junction City, its going to, I feel, help our economy, she said. Were struggling to get something going. Grant said a person doesnt have to be a gambler to appreciate possible economic benefits a casino would bring to the area, such as property tax income and profit sharing. The Junction City Commission and the Grandview Plaza City Council have approved resolutions supporting the casino. The Geary County Commission hasnt yet taken such an action. Ben Bennett, council chair and Geary County

Commissioner, said the council has a lot to consider about a casino in the area. Theres the practical side of economics, then theres the practical side of (sociological effects), he said. Some discussions also have suggested a location near Council Grove in Morris County for a casino, though Rothlisbergs bill includes only Geary County. Rothlisberg has said he
expects a hearing for his bill to take place early this session in front of the House Federal and State Affairs Committee, of which hes a member. The bill has been introduced but a hearing has yet to be scheduled. Attempts to allow a casino to be built in Geary County are nothing new. However, no discussions have ever been held beyond the committee level. Bennett said Rothlis-
bergs bill may never come to fruition, either. It may not ever come out of committee, he said. Though the bill may soon come before the committee, it appeared most of the council still wanted more information before formally supporting the casino. I dont want us to chase short-term economic benefit for a long-term development, Riley County Commissioner Robert Boyd said.

As the districts financial agent, the regional council could use some of those funds to help secure a more sustainable financial future. Gary Stith, council associate planner, said the FHEDD primarily would collaborate between area municipalities and institutions to brand the region, sustain its existing businesses, recruit new businesses and educate the population. Stith said the FHEDD would look at both regional and individual communities needs. One-size-fits-all solutions will not address the issues of the entire region, he said. If approved by the state

We want to be a proud group of supporting the Flint Hills, supporting the council and supporting each other, Bennett said, adding its better for new businesses to locate somewhere within the region than in another state or another part of Kansas. The regional council focuses on promoting the goals of the Flint Hills region. Its members include governments from Chase, Clay, Dickinson, Geary, Lyon, Morris, Riley, Pottawatomie and Wabaunsee counties and municipalities and unincorporated areas within those counties.

The C.L. Hoover Opera House will have a new interim executive director starting later this month. Junction City officials announced Friday evening the appointment of Randal K. West, who is expected to begin by the middle of this month. West brings over 30 years of experience in musical theater production, creative, artistic and executive direction in the fields of advertising and theatrical administration. Most recently, West has served as the Executive/Artistic Director of Way Off Broadway, Iowas only professional musical theater company. In all, he was chosen out of 34 possible candidates, according to a release from R ANDAL the city. W EST He will take over for Mary Louise Stahl, who chose not to renew her contract when it expired at the end of 2013. His duties will include directing all fundraising efforts and programming for the Opera House, and supporting ongoing partnerships between the Opera House and all of Junction Citys arts agencies. West has also been a Theater Co-Coordinator for the city of Phoenix, and a professor at the University of Redlands. He also directed, choreographed and conducted for a variety of theaters in Northern California, winning several awards in the process. He began work at Way Off Broadway in 2007. what had happened. The deputy then went to the beach to talk to the teenagers and filed an incident report. Eventually, Curtis told his commander what had happened. He pushed Curtis to apply for the Soldiers Medal. Curtis still is a month or two away from learning whether hell receive the medal. Sheriff Tony Wolf later wrote a statement in support of Curtis. I feel that due to the actions of Capt. Curtis, a tragedy was avoided, Wolf said in the statement. I would request that he be considered for the Army Soldiers Medal. Nesbitt and her family also are grateful.

MLS Cup champion Sporting Kansas City signed Chance Myers to a new contract, and the talented defender joined the club in Arizona on Thursday to begin training camp. Myers will be entering his seventh season with the club, making him the second-longest tenured player on the roster. Hes been Sporting KCs starting right back the last three seasons. Terms of the new deal were not disclosed. Myers teamed with Matt Besler, Aurelien Collin and Seth Sinovic to form a back line that led MLS in fewest goals the past two seasons. Sporting KC is 29-7-8 when those four are in the starting lineup. Earlier this month, Myers was called up for the U.S. mens national teams training camp for the first time.

Throw out the records. Discard the fact that Junction City failed to make a bucket in the first quarter or that Highland Park entered the game as one of the top teams in the state. The chances of the Blue Jays pulling off the upset were always long. But that didnt stop the locals from trying, even if it ended in a 56-39 loss Friday night. Because for a little more than six minutes in the second quarter, Junction City was the better team. We wanted to see that effort and that heart and that spark that we saw in those first eight games of the year, Junction City coach Pat Battle said. And I think we found that a little bit. It all started with the play of junior guard Tanner Lueker. Normally resigned to a passfirst mentality, he was tired of his teams inability to finish at the basket.

Infielder Michael Young is retiring after a 13-year major league career, nearly all of it with the Texas Rangers. The Rangers have scheduled a Friday afternoon news conference where the 37-year-old Young is to formally announce his retirement. The seven-time All-Star retires with a .300 career average and as Texas hits leader with 2,230. He was the 2008 AL Gold Glove at shortstop. In 12 seasons as a Rangers infielder and designated hitter, Young batted .301 with 415 doubles and 55 triples in 1,823 games and 7,399 at-bats, all franchise records. He also had 177 home runs and 984 RBI. Young was traded to Philadelphia during the 2012 season, and split last year with the Phillies and Dodgers. He hit .279 with eight homers, 26 doubles and 45 RBIs. He is a free agent. Overall, he had 185 homers and 1030 RBIs.

Junction City put up its share of shots in the first quarter, but most were contested by Highland Parks long defenders inside, and rattled on the rim before rolling out. So trailing 14-0, Lueker drove. Under the net, he was met by the Scots 6-foot, 7-inch forward Eddie Hunt. Lueker reached out with his left hand and sent it underhand up around Hunts outstretched arms and toward the glass. It bounced back down, barely shifting the net as it fell through. At 14-2, the basket was just a raindrop in a hurricane, but the Blue Jays were finally on the board. He just sets it in his mind Please see Boys, 2B

Buster Posey wants all players protected from hard collisions at home plate and serious injuries, baserunners and catchers alike. Whether Major League Baseball implements a new rule banning home-plate collisions in time for the 2014 season, dont expect San Franciscos star catcher to be at the forefront to speak up on such topics. Even if his frightening, season-ending leg injury from May 2011 is still plenty fresh in peoples minds. Posey, the 2010 NL Rookie of the Year, tore three ligaments in his left ankle and broke a bone in his lower leg in a collision with the Marlins Scott Cousins on May 25, 2011. He made a remarkable comeback to win the 2012 batting crown and NL MVP honors while leading the Giants to another World Series championship.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Royals ace James Shields is open to staying in Kansas City beyond this season. That news should make the thousands of fans, already flying high over the teams strong finish a year ago, feel even better as they turned out for their annual FanFest on Friday. The Royals exercised their $13.5 million option on Shieldss contract shortly after going 86-76 last season, their best finish since 1989. The durable right-hander was a big reason behind the success, going 13-9 with a 3.15 ERA in an American League-leading 228.2 innings. Shields told a small group of reporters at Bartle Hall that he was willing to discuss an extension, but he said those talks with general manager Dayton Moore have not taken place. Id definitely be openminded to it, Shields said. A player in my position,

where I have one more year left before free agency, I mean, Im definitely open to it. I like Kansas City. I like the organization and I like the direction were going. If Shields went to the open market, its unlikely that the Royals would be a player in the chase. There were reports this offseason that he would seek a contract similar to that of former Royals star Zack Greinke, who signed a $147 million, six-year deal with the Dodgers last season. Thats absolutely not true at all, Shields said. I have no clue where he got that from, to be honest with you. Ive had no discussions with Dayton at all. If Dayton wants to talk about it, Im more than willing to sit and talk about it. But during the season, my main focus is trying to win games and get some wins for this team.

No. 6 Kansas riding sevengame win streak into Austin

BY DAVE SKRETTA
Associated Press
LAWRENCE There were moments of frustration for Kansas coach Bill Self, moments where hed angrily call a timeout or attend a post-game news conference and glumly bemoan another uneven performance. There never was a moment where he lost faith in his team. Now, after enduring the nations most brutal non-conference schedule, the sixth-ranked Jayhawks are proving to be exactly what the pundits thought theyd be: The Big 12s premier team, one that already has a substantial lead in the conference as the race nears its midway point. We have grown, but were just now to the middle of the season. Thats whats so strange, Self said. The big thing is that were playing with more energy and were starting to understand how were going to score not just running an offense to run an offense. Were not a tough team by any stretch, but are playing tougher than we did earlier in the season. Thats certainly been evident in the results. After a loss to fifth-ranked San Diego State ended the Jayhawks 68-game non-conference winning streak at Allen Fieldhouse, Kansas has ripped off seven straight wins through arguably the toughest part of its league schedule. It began with a win at No. 23 Oklahoma, and continued with wins over four straight teams that were ranked in the Top 25 Kansas State, Iowa State, Oklahoma State and Baylor. After a blowout win at TCU, the Jayhawks beat the No. 16 Cyclones for a second time on Wednesday night. Now, theyll head to No. 25 Texas
Kansas guard Andrew Wiggins is covered by Iowa State guard DeAndre Kane at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Wednesday.
with essentially a two-game lead in the Big 12. Im not surprised at all, junior guard Naadir Tharpe said. I knew it was going to be a matter of time until everybody just let water run off their back and start going out there and just playing. That is what I feel like dudes are doing right now. The most important of them may be Andrew Wiggins, the highly touted freshman. After fits and starts to begin his college career, the 6-foot-8 swingman and projected lottery pick in the June draft has gone on a tear. Wiggins scored a career-high 27 points in the win over the Horned Frogs, and then bested it with 29 points against the Cyclones earlier this week. Hes averaging more than 24 points over his past three games. I would say I feel more comfortable on the court, Wiggins said this week. A lot of things are slowing down for me and my teammates are looking for me. Hes also starting to create his own shot, something that he was reticent to do early in the season, prompting Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg to say hes oozing with confidence. Thats scary, Hoiberg said. With that athleticism, that length and that speed, the kids got it all. When hes knocking down shots, not too many better. There arent many teams better than the Jayhawks right now. Since the start of league play, the nine-time defending champions are putting up a Big 12-leading 84 points per game. Theyre just a half-point out of second place in scoring defense, and their scoring margin of 12 points per game is seven better than second-place Oklahoma State.

that hes going to go score, senior Semaj Johnson said. He and I talk about it all the time. Usually hes not standoffish, he likes to pass a lot but when he needs to score he tells me, Im going to go score. So thats what he did, he did a good job of it too. On the Blue Jays next venture into Highland Park territory, Johnson found himself alone at the top of the key, the nearest defender caught down low. The separation allowed the forward to rise up and unleash something opponents had yet to see from him a long-range jumper. Johnson buried it. He said hes been building his confidence in the shot all year long. I might as well shoot if theyre going to leave me open, might as well knock it down, he said. Also, Ive been working on it, coach has been telling me if youre open, you can shoot, because usually I wont shoot. Then Lueker continued to run the floor. He scored seven of his teamhigh 15 points in the six and one-
half minute stretch as Junction City outscored Highland Park 12-9 to close out the half. I was just being aggressive, trying to get something going for the rest of the team and it worked out a little bit, Lueker said. Sophomore Reggie Summerall hit two 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, but by that point, Highland Parks talent proved too much. But for a team coming off its worst stretch of basketball of the season, the loss to Highland Park was nothing to force the Blue Jay players heads into a shrug as they left the locker room after the game. Because for six and one-half minutes, Junction City showed it can hang with the best Kansas has to offer. These Blue Jays can ball. And theyre beginning to realize it. Next, Junction City (4-8) wants to play like it did over that single stretch for a whole game when it travels to Emporia Tuesday. Tonight I thought we had really good effort and we played hard, Lueker said. If shots just wouldve fallen, I think we wouldve had a lot better chance in our game. We found our soul, who we were in the previous couple games, not this (last) tournament, and that will help us.

GIRLS
time again have been okay with losing and Im trying to change that culture. Weve got girls that want to and were going to get there. For the second game of the tournament, the Blue Jays got off to a slow start. Hutchinson jumped ahead 6-0 before freshman Darja Russell put Junction City on the board. The Salthawks stretched a firstquarter lead to seven, 11-4, before Rains knocked down a 3-point shot and then a deep two to tie the game. Russell led Junction City with
SPORTS
13 points and Rains scored 11 in the game. The third quarter proved disastrous for the Blue Jays. First, Kamm committed her fourth foul of the game early in the period shortly after scoring a bucket to reduce Hutchinsons lead to 34-26. Less than a minute later, Kamm fouled out of the game. Thats the stuff where I told the girls they play with heart, Parks said. They play with effort but they need to play a little smarter. With Junction City missing key players, the Salthawks lead spun out of control. In the fourth, younger Blue Jays who were placed into action stepped up as they managed 14 points in the final quarter. Freshman Allison McKenzie scored six points and sophomores Grace Craft and Jamia Bell added two points apiece. One of the things I told them in the locker room was that some of these girls need to be fighting for more playing time in practice, Parks said. Thats where youre going to earn it at because once they get on the floor, they dont look much different than our starters. Junction City (3-9) will play in the seventh-place game at 10:30 a.m. today. It doesnt matter who we play against because I think right now, were our own biggest enemy, Parks said. resting my arm, said Ventura, who had a 3.52 ERA in three lateseason starts in Kansas City. Ive just been getting ready because I want to get out there and make the team. That doesnt figure to be an easy task given the glut of competition. Its a competitive game anyway, Davis said. Why not do it from within a little bit? Davis said that he spent the offseason in the weight room, and pronounced himself more ready for this season than any previous year. He also said that hes already been throwing some bullpen sessions, giving him a head start on reporting for spring training. Im definitely going in to start, said Davis, who began last season in the rotation but was demoted to the bullpen when he proved ineffective. Hopefully I get that opportunity.
Royals, Chen agree to $4.25M deal with 2015 option

Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Lefthander Bruce Chen got his wish Thursday, agreeing to a $4.25 million, one-year contract to return to the Kansas City Royals, where hes spent the past five seasons. Chen became a free agent after last season, but he made it clear that he wanted to return to the Royals. Hell do so on a deal that pays $3.25 million this season with a mutual option at $5.5 million for 2015 with a $1 million buyout. The deal is subject to a physical, likely to take place Friday. Hell also be eligible for performance bonuses this season of $125,000 for each start from 16 through 25, a sign the Royals may view him primarily as a long-reliever with the ability to step in as a spot starter in the case of injuries or ineffectiveness. Thats similar to the role Chen had last season, arguably the best of his 15-year career. He went 9-4 with a 3.27 ERA while making 15 starts and 19 appearances out of the bullpen. One of the most popular players in the clubhouse, the 36-yearold Chen has seemingly gotten better with age. He won 35 games for the Royals from 2010-12, when he was almost exclusively a starter, and then helped stabilize the rotation the last 2 1/2 months of last season. Chens been successful despite a fastball that rarely breaks 85 mph. He instead relies on a beguiling mix of sliders, curveballs and cutters, and often jokes about his lack of velocity. The front end of the Royals rotation is set with James Shields, Jeremy Guthrie and recently signed Jason Vargas. Talented left-hander Danny Duffy, who came back from Tommy John surgery last season, is in line for one of the remaining spots, leaving the fifth job up for grabs. Hard-throwing youngster Yordano Ventura pitched well during a September call-up and is widely expected to join the rotation at some point this season. Its possible that Chen could serve as a stopgap out of spring training if Ventura isnt quite ready to step into the rotation. Former starter Luke Hochevar, who flourished in the bullpen last season, and Wade Davis, who has also been much better as a reliever than a starter, could also compete for the job.
ROYALS
full-squad workout is Feb. 20. Most of the Royals key pieces return from last season, when they contended into September for the first time in a decade. Their two biggest holes were filled by trading reliever Will Smith to Milwaukee for right field Norichika Aoki and signing Omar Infante to solidify second base. I didnt think our defense could get any better, Shields said, but theyre definitely filling some holes that we had. And theyre great additions to our lineup. Then theres the starting rotation, where Ervin Santana has become a free agent. While the right-hander has yet to sign elsewhere, the Royals appeared to move on when they signed lefthander Jason Vargas to a contract Sait Serkan Gurbuz The St. Joseph NewsPress/Associated Press

early in the offseason. Along with Jeremy Guthrie, the first three spots in the rotation are set. That leaves two up for grabs among a handful of candidates, including starters-turned-relievers Wade Davis and Luke Hochevar, veteran Bruce Chen, lefthander Danny Duffy and flamethrower Yordano Ventura.

Polio reaches Junction City in the 1950s

HEAThER HAGEDORN
Museum Musings ONeill hid part of her face in her pillow as two nurses administered the shot. Jimmy, who lived at on West Eighth Street at the time of the vaccinations, didnt hide his face, but he did not look too happy about the whole ordeal as Dr. Bunker is seen injecting him with the vaccine. The immunization required multiple doses and Jimmy was one of 413 children to receive the second shot. Dr. H.L. Bunker Jr. and Mrs. Jackie Hammer were among the health officials to administer the shots to the countys children. Nearly four million shots were administered across the nation in 1955. Cases of polio in the U.S. dropped from 14,647 in 1955 to 5,894 in 1956, and by 1959 some 90 other countries were using Salks vaccine. For the children of Geary County, the shot they received was an unpleasant experience, only slightly sweetened by the lollipop they received for their pain, but because of the immunizations of the 1950s, polio is considered an eradicated disease in the Western Hemisphere today. Were you one of the 700 children in the Geary County area to receive a polio vaccination in 1955? If so, the Geary County Historical Society would love to hear your story. Interested in learning more about early medical procedures? Stop into the museum this February to explore a new display, Healing Geary County, to discover more about medicine in 20th Century Geary County. Open Tuesday to Sunday 1-4 p.m.
n 1894, the first polio epidemic swept through America. In the following decades outbreaks cropped up every few years, usually during the warm summer months. Polio, which affected the nervous and muscular system, was particularly dangerous for children. In the early 1900s, thousands of children were crippled by the disease; others were placed in Iron Lungs to help them breathe after the disease paralyzed their lungs. One of the most famous victims of polio was President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who became paralyzed after the disease spread to the muscles in his legs. In the 1950s, a vaccine for the disease was discovered by Jonas Salk. And in 1955, the government mandated polio vaccinations across the nation. So, along with children across the country, nearly 700 first and second grade children from Junction City and the rural county schools were immunized with the Salk Anti-Polio Vaccine at the City-County Health Center. And boy, they were not happy about it. Each child received an unpleasant shot which made it difficult to sit for the next few days and the Daily Union was there to capture it on camera. Along with a photograph of children lined up to register for their immunization with their mothers, the Daily Union also published a photograph of two children in the middle of the trying ordeal. As if getting the shot wasnt enough, Jimmy Donahoo and Janet Marie ONeill both had their pictures taken while receiving the vaccination, which would later be printed in the local paper. Janet Marie ONeill, a second grader at St. Xaviers school, had her photo taken during her first dose of the shot. The poor little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin

Mirren honored with Harvards Hasty Pudding award

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Helen Mirren has been honored as woman of the year by Harvard Universitys Hasty Pudding Theatricals, twerking as part of the traditional spoof roast on Thursday. Mirren at first tried to sign the word twerk, then let slip a curse word and danced. She said shes tried to twerk privately in her bedroom and having to do it in public was humiliating. She also joked that being honored by Prince Charles as Dame of the British Empire at Buckingham Palace didnt come anywhere close to getting the ceremonial Hasting Pudding pot at Harvard. The festivities also included a parade. Mirren, 68, won the 2007 best actress Oscar for her role as Queen Elizabeth II in The Queen and has been nominated on three other occasions. She also appeared in Age of Consent, Gosford Park and The Madness of King George. She said shed still like to play the powerful 18th century Russian monarch, Catherine The Great. Mirren said shes rooting for 12 Years A Slave at this years Oscars. Hasty Pudding Theatricals is Americas oldest undergraduate drama troupe. It annually honors performers who have made a lasting and impressive contribution to entertainment. Emmy Award-winning actor Neil Patrick Harris will be honored as man of the year Feb. 7. Last years winners were Marion Cotillard and Kiefer Sutherland.

... Canadas favorite bad boys

TORONTO Pop star Justin Bieber is giving Toronto Mayor Rob Ford a brief respite as Canadas favorite bad boy and butt of all jokes. Ford has admitted smoking crack while in a drunken stupor and is being sued for supposedly orchestrating the jailhouse beating of his sisters ex-boyfriend. The 19-year-old teen idol is facing the equivalent of a misdemeanor assault charge. Its a change from the Rob Ford show, said 14-year-old Jon Bullock, who braved glacial temperatures to catch a glimpse of the star as he turned himself in at a Toronto police station Wednesday evening to face charges over an altercation with a limousine driver in late December. The incident, which comes on the heels of Biebers Miami arrest while apparently drag racing and driving under the influence of alcohol, marijuana and prescription drugs, is the latest to sully the image of the singer who has been drawing more attention for his brushes with the law than for his music. For now at least, Bieber has eclipsed Ford as fodder for late-night comedy talkshows on both sides of the border. He had to fly to Toronto to turn himself in. Boy, this kid is really on a crime spree. Hes become a menace to society. I liked him better when he was just a menace to music, said TV comedian Jimmy Kimmel. By the way, when you have Justin Bieber and Rob Ford together in the same place its like Gotham City got attacked by the Joker and the Penguin at once. Others feel a comparison with Laurel and Hardy more appropriate. On Wednesday, former Globe and Mail reporter Steve Ladurantaye tweeted an image of Bieber and Ford decked out to resemble the classic comedy duo. Seems as good a time as ever to look at this picture again, Ladurantaye, who now works for Twitter Canada, said in the tweet. Even some members of the Toronto city council all too familiar with Mayor Fords foibles were compelled to weigh-in on the battle of the countrys bad boys. Both Justin Bieber and Mayor Ford need to get their lives together, said Toronto City Councilor Joe Mihevc on Thursday on the sidelines of a council meeting. Amidst all the hullabaloo, its perhaps not surprising the Toronto mayor has rushed to Biebers defense. Hes a young guy. I wish I was as successful as he was. Hes 19 years old. Think about when you were 19, Ford opined during one of his regular call-in appearances on a Washington D.C. radio show called The Sports Junkies. Beyond the jokes, however, theres a sense of embarrassment, damaged pride and the feeling that Bieber and Ford are behaving in way thats just not Canadian. Canada has always been considered this polite place. People like Sarah McLachlan and Shania Twain have fulfilled that stereotype as seemingly nice, friendly people who dont get into a lot of trouble, said Joshua Ostroff, the Huffington Post Canadas pop culture columnist and senior editor. Ostroff said the Canadian rapper Drake got it right when he joked a couple of weeks ago on Saturday Night Live that Toronto is the kind of place where rappers are nice and the mayor smokes crack. It was a great joke because its absolutely true. Drake is the kind of rapper you expect Canada to produce and Bieber is acting counter to our stereotypes, Ostroff said. But Ostroff worries that lumping Ford and Bieber together threatens to trivialize the mayors actions. The people Ford has been associated with have been accused of murder. Bieber has been an idiot like many 19-year-old boys. He egged a house. He maybe drag raced after having a beer, they are all dumb things and he deserves to be pilloried for it but comparatively, hes not an adult, hes not the mayor of North Americas fourth largest city and hes not actually hanging out with gangsters and the mayor of Toronto is, he said. A side-effect of Biebers scuffles with the law has been to remind Americans that the teen idol is not a U.S. citizen. Advocacy groups, acutely aware of how less famous immigrants are treated upon arrest in the United States, have started an online petition with over 100,000 signatures demanding that the Obama administration deport Justin Bieber and revoke his green card. They point out that were Bieber an American citizen, a conviction for driving under the influence or assault would be enough to get him deemed inadmissible to Canada. Errol Nazareth, a pop culture commentator for the Canadian Broadcast Corporation, says he thinks deportation is a bit much and that the whole comparison is probably being blown out of proportion. Its really just an imperfect storm of two people who seem to be up to no good at the same time. Its really just more of a circus than a statement on our reputation, Nazareth said. Bieber is trying to project this bad boy image. They (Bieber and Ford) are both projecting weird images and its not surprising they become the butt of jokes. Theyre easy targets.
Fleming plans to sing national anthem live

NEW YORK Renee Fleming says she only knows how to sing the national anthem one way: live. The 53-year-old opera singer will perform The Star-Spangled Banner at Sundays Super Bowl. She said in an interview Thursday she wont sing to a prerecorded track and that she wouldnt know how to lipsync if you paid me. It would be a disaster. I only know how to sing live, said the singer, known as The Peoples Diva. Some artists choose to lip-sync, especially in cold weather. Whitney Houstons unforgettable performance of the
national anthem in 1991 at the Super Bowl was sung to a track, and Beyonce did the same at President Barack Obamas Inauguration last year. But Fleming promises it will be entirely real when she walks onto the field at MetLife Stadium, where the Seattle Seahawks will play the Denver Broncos. Shell be singing along to an arrangement from the New Jersey Symphony and have 32 military singers from all the service branches as backup. Fleming, who has performed around the world and serenaded Queen Elizabeth and President Barack Obama, will be the first opera singer to sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl.

Too young for Super Bowl? Mars calls it an honor

NEW YORK Bruno Mars says he feels honored the NFL is letting him perform at the Super Bowl halftime show even though hes still a budding artist. I feel like a new artist, Mars said at a press conference Thursday. The NFL is such a prestigious stage ... and Im so grateful for that. Mars will hit the field Sunday when the Seattle Seahawks play the Denver Broncos at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. The pop crooner debuted on the mainstream music scene in 2010 when he released his friendly pop debut, Doo-Wops & Hooligans, which featured the No. 1 hits Grenade and the Grammy-winning Just the Way You Are. Mars, 28, said he started rehearsing at the stadium two days ago and cold weather will be an issue. Its like the microphone turns into a Popsicle, he said. Were getting some heaters on everything. T-shirts away after the show. When a reporter asked if he would sing in Spanish, Mars who is half Puerto Rican dramatically turned his head and shoulder and in an erotic voice said, Si! Mars is one of the youngest artists to perform during the halftime show, following recent performances from Beyonce, Madonna and the Black Eyed Peas, who flopped in 2011. He says while theres pressure, I aint scared! Mars was named Billboards top artist of 2013, and his latest album, Unorthodox Jukebox, won the best pop vocal album Grammy Award this week. He has connected with fans of all ages, his R&B-pop sound has become a staple on radios around the world, and his live shows are critically acclaimed. Mars has written and produced songs for artists including Alicia Keys, Justin Bieber and CeeLo Green. The singer, who grew up in Hawaii, said chasing his dream wasnt always easy.

wice a year, the library participates in the Kansas Humanities sponsored program TALK (Talk About Literature in Kansas). The first book in the spring semester Civil War series, The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane, is available for checkout. The discussion on this book will be held on Feb. 13 at 7 p.m. at the Geary County Campus of Cloud Community College, 631 Caroline Ave. in room C1. TALK is a program for adult readers; Kansans who love to read and discuss books. The program is free to the public and you do not need to have a library card to check out a TALK book or come to the discussion. A TALK series has three titles relateing to the theme, with the discussions held approximately a month apart. The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane is considered a Civil War classic. For the books main character, Henry Fleming, the fundamental contrast between his anticipation of war and his experience of battle frames his growing consciousness of the realities of war. This new consciousness brings into question the heros initial idealized quest for a red badge of courage, the wound that would prove his manhood. The discussion on this title will be led by a TALK favorite, Tom Prasch from Washburn University. The remaining books in the series will now take place on Sunday afternoons, a change in sched-

Librarians report ule for those who have been attending the evening discussions in the past. March by Geraldine Brooks will be talked about on Sunday, March 9 at 1:30 p.m. The March of Brooks tale is not Shermans, but Alcotts. In Louisa May Alcotts classic Little Women, the father of the girls of the March family is absent for much of the novel, serving as a chaplain for Union forces during the Civil War. Brooks Pulitzer Prizewinning novel reimagines the absent March as an abolitionist with utopian inclinations, testing his ideological commitments in the theatre of war. Linda Lewis from Bethany College will facilitate this discussion. A Diary from Dixie by Mary Boykin Chesnut will be the final title discussed in our spring series. Nancy Hope from the University of Kansas will lead the discussion on April 13 at 1:30 p.m. Mary Chesnut (18231886) was a woman of the Southern elite, well connected, and passionately committed to the Confederacys cause. Through the course of the war, she worked in hospitals and witnessed the social costs of the Civil War and the slow destruction of her way of life. In many ways, the Amer-

ican Civil War was an unprecedented conflict. No other dispute came close to destroying the country. It touched the majority of Americans as its battles were fought across the country, from the east coast to Missouri and Kansas. So even after the wars sesquicentennial, it is still appropriate to reflect on its continuing legacy. Books selected for this series help us continue the discussion. Also, as a reminder the Kansas Reads Book Discussion of Bleeding Kansas by Sara Paretsky will take place in the Community Room of the Library on Feb. 11 beginning at 6:30 p.m. Kansas Reads is a onebook/one-state reading and discussion project for adult readers.

Review: That Awkward Moment average at best

As Zac Efron tears up and professes his love to a pert blonde who gave it up on the first night, its clear the story line of romantic comedy That Awkward Moment has gone too far. This is not because Efrons leading lady isnt captivating or that a fella cant fall in love swiftly. But this revelatory moment required a compelling buildup and an actor who could carry it out believably. For his first film, writer-director Tom Gormican attempts a chick flick from a male point of view. But unlike successful films of this kind, such as High Fidelity, Awkward Moment unfolds like a college thesis with a big budget. Jason (Efron) is a Manhattan pretty boy who designs book covers. He believes in having a roster of women and picks them up at bars and takes them home that night. Though he occasionally calls for round two, he keeps women at a safe, commitment-free distance. Miles Teller plays Jasons quirky best friend, co-worker and fellow Poots); Daniel realizes he wants to lothario, Daniel. be more than friends with ChelThough hes not as handsome as sea; and Mikey begins sleeping Jason, he has no problem hooking with his wife again. ladies with his wit and with the Though Awkward Moment is help of wing-woman Chelsea predictable, its not a complete dis(Mackenzie Davis). appointment.

Set against lofty talents like Jordan and Teller (fresh off the top Sundance award for his Whiplash), Efron comes off as little more than a pretty face. Luckily, his comedic timing is on target, though most of the jokes here are unnecessarily crass and forced. Each emerging actress possesses a refreshing charm and onscreen easiness. But Davis grace and lure, though she wasnt completely believable as a romantic match for Tellers Daniel, make her the one to watch. With much of the soundtrack consisting of 1980s new wave that would make John Hughes proud, the tunes are the only potential cult classic trait here. Well, that and tying everything up with a neat love conquers all bow. That Awkward Moment, a Focus Features release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for sexual content and language throughout. Running time: 94 minutes. Two stars out of four.

Chicago archdiocese settles suit claiming abuse

CHICAGO The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago and a lawyer for an alleged sexual abuse victim of a former priest announced Thursday that they have reached a $3.2 million settlement. The lawsuit by the plaintiff, who hasnt been identified, accused the archdiocese of failing to promptly remove Daniel McCormack after claims he abused children had emerged. Plaintiff attorneys say their client was abused as a boy between the eighth and 11th grades. We are pleased to have reached this settlement because it marks one more step toward bringing justice to the victim and his family, attorney William F. Martin said in a statement. The archdiocese noted the settlement was reached with help from a mediator. The Archdiocese continues to encourage the use of alternatives to litigation to resolve claims of sexual misconduct in a just, fair and compassionate manner, it said. The Archdiocese encourages anyone who has been sexually abused by a priest, deacon, religious or lay employee, to come forward. McCormack pleaded guilty in 2007 to abusing five children. He was sentenced to five years in prison and removed from priesthood. Hes currently confined to a state mental health facility. Thousands of pages of internal documents recently released by the archdiocese showed it helped hide the sexual abuse of children to contain a growing crisis. The documents, released through settlements between attorneys for the archdiocese and victims, describe how priests for decades were moved from parish to parish while the archdiocese hid the clerics histories from the public, often with the approval of the late Cardinals John Cody and Joseph Bernardin.

Wyoming Catholic groups buck feds on birth control

CHEYENNE, Wyo. Catholic organizations in Wyoming filed a federal lawsuit Thursday challenging the birth-control coverage requirement in federal governments health care overhaul. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Cheyenne, which covers the entire state, together with a number of Catholic schools and charities, filed the lawsuit Thursday in Cheyenne. The lawsuit names U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and several other federal officials and agencies. It charges that the requirement violates constitutional principles of religious freedom for the groups to be forced to pay for insurance coverage for non-ministerial workers that covers contraception and abortion services. The lawsuit states that religious schools and charities wouldnt meet the governments definition of religious employers and, accordingly, would have to provide the insurance coverage. The lawsuit was posted on the courts Internet site shortly before 5 p.m. An attempt to reach the press office with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services after business hours Thursday was not immediately successful. The Rev. Carl Gallinger, vicar general of the Cheyenne diocese, said Thursday that hes not aware of any similar legal action by the diocese in the past. Its incredibly unfortunate that the federal government has decided to challenge religious freedom, Gallinger said. And thats what we want to try to address through the complaint, that the guarantee of religious freedom is certainly enshrined in the First Amendment. Gallinger said the case is not only about the right to worship, but also about the right to contribute through acts of faith to the common good of society. And prior to the mandate, the federal government honored that right. Faith-affiliated charities, hospitals and universities have filed dozens of similar lawsuits around the nation. Federal courts have issued differing interpretations, and the issue appears to be headed to the U.S. Supreme Court for a resolution. Its possible the Supreme Court could resolve the issue before the Wyoming case is resolved, Gallinger said. However, he said, it certainly doesnt preclude us from making the filing. In a prepared statement released on Thursday, Bishop Paul D. Etienne said he had hoped that legislative efforts to resolve the issue would be successful. The requirements of the HHS mandate that these religious organizations, through our group health plan or through a third-party administrator, provide access to these morally objectionable services is morally unacceptable, Etienne said.
Teen molested by priest sues archdiocese

ST. PAUL, Minn. A teenage boy who was molested by the Rev. Curtis Wehmeyer from 2008 through 2011 sued the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis on Thursday, alleging it conspired to pro3x5.5 8/13/02 4:41 PM Page 1 tect the priest from criminal prosecution and conceal his history of sexual misconduct from the public.

The lawsuit comes one day after Ramsey County prosecutors said they wouldnt charge members of the archdiocese for the way they handled allegations against Wehmeyer because there was insufficient evidence to prove anyone failed to immediately report the abuse. Wehmeyer pleaded guilty in 2012 and is serving a five-year prison sentence.
However, a document obtained Wednesday by Minnesota Public Radio News raised questions about when church leaders knew about the accusations against Wehmeyer and about the timing of the report to police. St. Paul police and prosecutors said Thursday they didnt have that document in their initial investigation, but they are now reviewing it to see
if it warrants reopening the case. At this point, we are not reopening anything, said police spokesman Howie Padilla. The archdiocese said in a statement that it acted appropriately in reporting the accusation to police. The information was first provided to a priest in the context of a pastoral relationship, which would
make it privileged information and exempt from reporting, the statement said. The archdiocese then sought to waive that privilege so it could be reported. In addition, the statement said, the date referenced in the document obtained by MPR was inaccurate. The latest lawsuit also names Wehmeyer as a defendant.

The power of the wind

CHUcK OTTE
Field & Garden But our parents, grandparents and great-grandparents werent so lucky. Their homes were a little bit draftier and when the wind howled, the house got drafty. They learned that planting windbreaks on the north and west sides of their houses really slowed down the wind, protected them from blizzards and helped keep their homes warmer in the winter. Even though we may not notice it as much inside our modern homes, windbreaks still reduce energy costs. Ranchers know that when a winter storm is howling in, cattle will instinctively move to areas sheltered from the wind. By utilizing this instinct and providing windbreaks for livestock they can keep cattle healthier with less feed. Every 1 degree drop in wind chill requires 1 percent more energy for the cattle to keep warm. Giving the cattle a place to get out of the wind can cut feed requirements by 30 to 40 percent, compared to cattle out in the open. For many of us, the most obvious impact on the wind is on the trees and plants we try to grow in our yards and gardens. Trees exposed to the full force of the prevailing southwest summer winds will tend to grow away from that wind. Branches on the southwest side of the tree will be shorter than those on the northeast side of the tree Trees often bend towards the north as they grow. Homeowners will try to pull the tree back with guy wires, ropes and stakes. Ultimately, this simply wont help and the best thing to do is to let the tree grow with this wonderful characteristic. As wind blows across the leaves of plants, it increases the amount of water the leaf and the plants loses from transpiration. When its calm, these leaves build up a micro layer of humidity that helps regulate water transpiration. The wind blows this micro layer away so more water is lost out of the leaf. In warm and windy weather, a plant can lose more water through its leaves than it is capable of moving from the soil and roots up to the leaves. The leaves dry out and can start to die from the edge inward, a situation we call scorch. Trees like maples are more prone to this than oaks. It becomes critical to recognize different parts of our yards need different plants. A heat-sensitive plant like boxwood will do better on the damper and cooler north and east sides of the house compared to the sunny, windy and hot southwest side of the house. Whether you are planting flowers, perennials, a vegetable garden or trees, you need to know the microclimates around your house and what plants will work best in each of those locations. The wind in Kansas isnt going to go away. Calm days are going to be few and far between. The wind can cause us a lot of problems, and at times it can be a blessing. So dont fight it, just accept it, acknowledge it and learn to work with it in your yards and gardens.
ast Sunday, just about sunset, the cold front blew through and rattled homes, and sent leaves and dust flying as well as anything else that wasnt fastened down. The truth of the matter is, this isnt uncommon. This is the Great Plains, folks, the wind blows here, regularly and occasionally quite hard. The wind is one of the most dominant factors of our weather and homeowners, gardeners and farmers must learn to accept it and deal with it because you arent going to stop it. We dont notice the wind so much with modern houses that are well sealed up. Modern home construction is pretty air-tight.

Take time to take care

DEB ANdRES
Living Resourcefully
s a child growing up, my parents would both reprimand me if I said the word hate. They said it was too strong of a word to use recklessly and too many people have been hurt or have died because of hate. Over time, I began to understand the danger in feeling that way about anything or anybody. That being said, I have to say I nearly hate getting a shot that is until March of 2012 when I nearly died from contracting the flu. I began my downhill spiral with a headache and fever, but it quickly overtook my body and the pain from my body aches was beyond comprehension. I ended up at the emergency room where they gave me IV fluids, took blood, and yes, gave me a shot. However, I was so terribly sick at that point that I simply didnt care what they did to me. After a few hours, I started to bounce back and feel like I might make it through the day. The next day was even better, and I navely thought I could simply tough it out enough to go back to work. However, I broke every rule I know about what NOT to do when you are sick. Six days later, I was in my doctors office in the middle of a work day wondering how I would ever be able to drive myself home. My doctor knows me well and has always been candid and supportive while meeting my health care needs. Ill never forget what she said to me. Deb, you cant tough your way through this, if you dont go on complete bed rest, you can die from the flu virus you have! What she didnt say was I told you so! After all, she had recommended that I get a flu shot earlier that winter and I politely declined as I very nearly hate getting shots! The flu is a very serious contagious disease that can lead to hospitalization or even death. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the month of February consistently has had the highest number of reported cases of flu over any other month out of the year. The CDC goes on to recommend that each of us take action to protect ourselves and others from this hardhitting illness. Our first line of defense is by getting the flu vaccination. This is first and most important step in protecting against the flu. The vaccine administered protects against the three viruses that are expected to be most common during the flu season. Everyone age 6 months and older should get vaccinated. You can choose between
the flu shot or a flu mist. I got my flu shot (yes, a shot!) the first week of January after being worried I had missed my window of opportunity. An earlier shot wasnt an option due to other normal winter illnesses running through my family. My doctor suggested I wait until we were sure I was healthy. If you havent had your flu vaccination its not too late for you to get one. As I prepared to write this column, I called the Geary County Health Department and they assured me they had an ample supply of the flu vaccine. Our second line of defense against the flu virus is active preventative steps. Wash your hands with soap and water. The general rule is that you should scrub with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds every time you wash your hands and you should wash your hands often. You dont have to use antibacterial soap. In a Dec. 16, 2013 press release the U.S. Food and Drug Administration stated, Although consumers generally view these products as effective tools to help prevent the spread of germs, there is currently no evidence that they are any more effective at preventing illness than washing with plain soap and water. Further, some data suggest that long-term exposure to certain active ingredients used in antibacterial products for example, triclosan (liquid soaps) and triclocarban (bar soaps) could pose health risks such as bacterial resistance or hormonal effects. Avoid being around sick people. If you know someone who has been sick and would like to visit them, use the old-fashioned way of communicating by calling them on the phone. If you are feeling ill, stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone (unless you need to seek medical help). While you are ill, stay away from other people as much as possible. With the flu, you often feel so miserable you dont want to be around anyone anyhow. Wash your hands often so you dont accidently spread the illness to your family. Cover your nose and mouth with a disposable tissue when you sneeze. This is much better than coughing into your hand or elbow, both of which spread the germs out into the air. Always wash your hands with soap and water (for 20 seconds) after you dispose of the tissue. All of us need to be aware of the risks we take when we are not proactive about our health and wellness during flu season and year round. I still nearly hate getting a shot, but I am committed in believing I hate the flu. Take time to take care of yourself and until next time, Keep living resourcefully.
