If youve got enough of it, Fri-day night is the night to let
your hair down.
One sure test is to participate in the Drag Race as a runup to
the Charlie Melvin Mad Bomber Run For Your Life race.
Men and women alike are en-couraged to dress in a cross-gen-der
manner and then compete in teams of four in a relay. Last
year a womans garter was trans-ferred from one participants leg
to another.
Its better than a baton, said David Toland, executive director
of Thrive Allen County and one of the organizers for Fridays
events.
If you dont have a thing to wear no worries.
Dresses, hats, purses, jewelry and other accoutrements will be
available at Elizabeth Donnellys
The Shirt Shop, 20 W. Jackson, where participants will have a
wide selection from which to choose. Doors open at 10 p.m.
Registration to participate in the drag race is $5. That also
gains participants entrance to a 9:30 p.m. pre-party at the Thrive
office, 12 W. Jackson. Tickets can be purchased in advance at the

LE ROY Unlike the mecha-nized behemoths of today, Ray Whiteleys
mowing outfit was considerably quieter.
His engine a pair of 1,200-pound mules needed only an occasional
break from the sti-fling summer heat as Whiteley traversed his way
around an 18-acre prairie hay meadow.
Its a little warm, so weve been taking it easy, Whiteley said.
Its our little hobby.
The mules were pulling White-leys antique sickle bar mower, a
small wagon with cutting bar
attached. The bar was triggered through a gear box engaged as
its wheels roll.
With no mechanical engine to speak of, the only noise emanat-ing
from his unit was from the teeth of the seven-foot cutting bar
rotating back and forth.
Joining Whiteley was neighbor and friend Greg Gleue, with his
own mowing outfit, another sick-le bar mower pulled by a pair of
Percheron draft horses.
Were having some fun with it, Whiteley joked. Gregs kind of a

Calls to the 911 dispatch center average one almost every 10
min-utes.
And while that may sound a lit-tle slow, played out over 24
hours a day and every day of the year, the total comes to
55,000.
Thats what we received last year, Angie Murphy, dispatch center
director, told Allen County commissioners Tuesday morn-ing.
The call total she figures half or more are for true
emer-gencies wasnt the point of her appearance, but the magnitude
of the number captivated commis-sioners.
Murphy was before commis-sioners to request a 20 percent
increase in the departments bud-get for 2012, up $126,000 over this
years $490,000.
The increase seemed pretty hefty. Murphy reasoned health
insurance will cost an additional $50,000 and another $6,000 was
expected for Kansas Public Em-

An anticipated field of a thou-sand runners and walkers, who
will flee Iolas downtown busi-ness district early Saturday as
Charley Melvin did in 1905, can be thankful that Melvin chose to do
his dastardly deed in the mid-dle of the night.
Had the event being commemo-rated occurred in mid-day,
par-ticipants would battle oppressive heat and humidity, with both
forecast at the upper end of the discomfort scale during daytime
Friday and Saturday. As is, they will run and walk in somewhat more
inviting temperatures pre-dicted for the low 70s by 12:26 a.m.
Saturday.
The race many walkers will be out for a stroll will cap
activ-ities that start late Friday after-noon and will go on
throughout the evening. Included will be the much-awaited drag
race, fea-turing some of the areas finest men and women dressed in
drag.
Chris Weiner at Thrive Allen County, co-sponsor with Allen
County Crimestoppers for The Charley Melvin Mad Bomber Run for your
Life, said total of partic-ipants was approaching 450, with about
200 signed on for the 5-kilo-meter run. The walk will follow a
3-kilometer course.
Registration, including prob-ably a fifth online, has really
picked up, Weiner said Tuesday afternoon. As in the past, we
ex-pect a lot of people to sign up Fri-day night.
Cost is $12 for the walk. Run-ners fees are $14 for youth to age
17, $20 for adults and $17 each for members of teams.
Runners in the third annual event will aim for best times of
15.40.06 for males and 20.44.78 for females, set last year.
Sticks of Melvin Dy-No-Mite will be awarded the first three
places for males and females in each of five ages groups, 15 and
under, 16-30, 31-45, 46-60 and 61 and over.

ATLANTA (AP) Former Atlanta schools Superintendent Beverly Hall
knew about cheat-ing allegations on standardized tests but either
ignored them or tried to hide them, according to a state
investigation.
An 800-page report released Tuesday to The Associated Press by
Gov. Nathan Deals office through an open records request shows
several educators report-ed cheating in their schools. But the
report says Hall, who won the national Superintendent of the Year
award in 2009, and other administrators ignored those re-ports and
sometimes retaliated against the whistleblowers.
The yearlong investigation shows educators at nearly four dozen
Atlanta elementary and middle schools cheated on stan-dardized
tests by helping stu-dents or changing the answers once exams were
handed in.
The investigators also found a culture of fear, intimidation and
retaliation in the school district over the cheating allegations,
which led to educators lying about the cheating or destroying

HAYS Morgan Murray is too young to have any idea who Doo-gie
Howser is, but the 16-year-old from Shawnee is cut from a cloth
similar to the prodigy doctor in the 90s TV show.
Even while finishing high school and getting a jump on college,
Murray finds time to be flown across the country sev-eral times a
year to help teach doctors twice her age how to perform challenging
tracheal intubations, a procedure to get oxygen to patients with
blocked airways.
Its a very high-stress, very time-oriented procedure, said
Murray. I am helping teach the doctors how to intubate us-ing
high-fidelity simulators. I act as their nurse, getting them
anything they need. Then I help debrief and tell them what they can
do better.
Murray came into the teach-
ing opportunity while sitting in on classes, which were taught
by her mother. Two years ago, the instructor in the nurse role was
out sick, and Murray seized the opportunity to fill in.
Now Murray is seizing anoth-er opportunity to get a jump on her
career at the Kansas Acade-my of Mathematics and Science.
The two-year program is a sort of fast-track boarding school at
Fort Hays State University. Each year, up to 40 high school juniors
from across the state move into a campus dorm and complete their
last two years of high school coursework while also taking college
math and science courses.
Murray said that the acad-emy often called KAMS by students
provides an envi-ronment where staff and other students drive each
other to set goals high.
Ive been wanting to pursue medicine since I was in third grade,
Murray said. KAMS has

Top photo, Kyler Thompson rolls off layers of protein-rich
alfalfa from a large bale to supplement prairie hay fed to cows in
the Thompson herd. Ice chips fly as Thompson opens a hole so cows
can drink from an iced-over pond.

Kyler Thompson rolled a 1,000-pound bale of alfalfa across a
pasture north of LaHarpe Wednesday. With each turn a lay-er of
protein-rich forage came off, prompting about 25 cows to come
quickly to indulge.
Cows find alfalfa tasty, but, be-ing an expensive commodity, it
is given in limited amounts as a supplement to prairie hay, basic
wintertime forage for cattle.
According to U.S. Department of Agriculture price tracking,
al-falfa is fetching upward of $250 a bale, prairie hay about half
that much.
When he finished the alfalfas distribution, Thompson cropped
through four inches of ice cover-ing a nearby pond to open a place
for the cows to drink.
The process of feeding and wa-tering is repeated several times
each morning in pastures hold-ing the Thompson herd of about 100
cows.
There are a lot of low ponds
this winter, said Kent Thomp-son, Kyles dad.
Adding to the problem are ponds that have wide muddy mar-gins,
and are so low water isnt found beneath ice near an edge. Cows dont
like to wade through mud and they dont like to walk on ice.
Nor do farmers want cattle tromping over ice trying to find
water.
Ive lost calves that broke through the ice, said Dale Dan-iels,
who farms southeast of Humboldt and also keeps cattle in several
pastures.
If one breaks through and gets its head down in the water theres
a good chance itll drown, he said. They try to fight out of it and
just get in more trouble.
Daniels placed plastic tanks in three pastures where layers of
rock near the surface prevent dig-ging ponds deep enough to hold
water in dry times.

WASHINGTON (AP) Law-makers are engaged in a play-ground game of
who goes first, daring each political par-ty to let the year end
without resolving a Jan. 1 confluence of higher taxes and deep
spending cuts that could rattle a recover-ing, but-still-fragile
economy.
President Barack Obama re-turns from Hawaii today to this
increasingly familiar deadline showdown in the nations capi-tal,
with even a stopgap solu-tion now in doubt.
Adding to the mix of devel-opments pushing toward a fis-cal
cliff, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner informed Congress on
Wednesday that the government was on track to hit its borrowing
limit on Monday and that he would take extraordinary measures as
authorized by law to postpone a government default.
Still, he added, uncertainty over the outcome of negotia-tions
over taxes and spending made it difficult to determine how much
time those measures would buy.
In recent days, Obamas aides have been consulting with Sen-ate
Democratic Leader Harry Reids office, but Republicans have not been
part of the dis-cussions, suggesting much still needs to be done if
a deal, even a small one, were to be struck and passed through
Congress by Monday.
At stake are current tax rates that expire on Dec. 31 and

Los Angeles TimesLOS ANGELES Mall park-
ing lots were packed with after-Christmas shoppers. But nowhere
were the lines longer than at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena
and the Van Nuys Masonic Temple, where thousands of peo-ple came to
exchange their guns for supermarket gift cards.
Cars queued up for blocks at the drive-through events, with the
city giving Ralphs cards worth up to $100 for handguns, shotguns
and rifles, and up to $200 for as-sault weapons. There was a bit of
haggling involved, but the guns were all taken.
What do you got? an officer in Van Nuys asked a man in his late
20s as he pulled up in a green Mazda.
Just one handgun, Ive had it since high school, the man
re-plied.
Will you take $50 for this?Sure.Many came bearing more than
one gun. They pulled 22 pistols from the trunk of one white
Hon-da, a haul that earned the driver $1,000.
Two men in a pickup truck with two children in the back seat
handed over a rifle, a pistol and a MAC-12, altered with a
silencer.
Organizers and some partici-pants credited collective outrage
and anguish over the gun ram-page in Newtown, Conn., for the
turnout. But motivations were of-ten a bit more complicated.
That young guy shot up all the kids and they blamed the mama
because the mama had the weap-ons in the house, Valerie But-ler
said, in explaining why she was waiting in line two hours in South
Los Angeles to get rid of an old handgun.
Yet Butler, 50, said she was not getting rid of both of her
guns.
Just one, she said, and laughed. Theres a bunch of nuts out
here, and theyre coming in when youre sleeping. You got to
protect yourself.Cities across the nation, grasp-
ing for ways to react to a series of mass shootings this year,
have organized gun buybacks to get weapons off the street.
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa pushed the citys annual
event from Mothers Day to Wednesday in reaction to the killing Dec.
14 of 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elemen-tary School
in Newtown. By the afternoon, the event had already surpassed the
1,673 guns collected last year, and officials were scram-bling to
get more gift cards, which were donated by Ralphs.
Many of the drivers said they were turning in their guns
be-cause they rarely used them and were eager to snag grocery
cards.
If I could get $100 of free gro-ceries, its worth it, said
Charles
Edwards, 60, waiting in line next to his old .22 revolver after
driv-ing to Los Angeles from Fontana. I wouldnt do it for $40.
Thats why people are here. They feel bad about all thats happening,
but times are tough.
He still has a shotgun at home. Thats all I need, he said.
Edwards said authorities need-ed to better organize the buyback
so the lines werent so long. He watched numerous people sit in line
for a spell, then just drive away, he said. I thought I could just
drop this thing off. They need to have this move faster.
Most of the weapons recovered were mom and pop guns, police said
hunting rifles, shotguns but they got a few dozen assault weapons
as well.
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa gazes at a trash can full
of assault weapons while the citys police chief, Charlie Beck,
right, holds an assault weapon, one of several turned in, during a
news conference. Hundreds of gun owners waited for hours to
exchange their weapons for gift cards on Wednesday at the Los
Angeles Memorial Sports Area. The mayors office as well as police
depart-ment officials see the program as part of a strategy that
has attrib-uted to a reduction in gun-related crimes in recent
years. Nearly 8,000 guns have been surrendered since the program
was initiated in 2009.

INDEPENDENCE In-dependence will continue to add fluoride to
drinking water, but city staff was ordered to research pros and
cons of the additive.
According to the Inde-pendence Reporter, Dr.
Scott Null, a chiropractor, told city commissioners adding
fluoride provided no medical benefit to the human body. However,
dental authorities say flu-oridation is important in prevention of
tooth decay.
Independence keeps fluoride
three inches of ice in each, he said.
Ponds elsewhere on Dan-iels farms hold water, but he fears that
if a long cold spell occurred, they might freeze dry. Also, he has
con-cerns about having to cut into mud to open water for
drinking.
Cows dont like to drink muddy water, he said.
Kent Thompson said he and his son cleaned out sev-eral ponds a
year ago, when drought also was a prob-lem. That work paid off this
summer and into fall when warm weather and wind speeded evaporation
of pond water.
He and all who tend cat-tle would love to see a rain substantial
enough to fill ponds, but they know the likelihood is remote.
They wouldnt turn down a snow, which would be a godsend for
wheat and fes-cue, as well as add some moisture in ponds and
sloughs that weave through most pastures.
WHEAT looks pretty good around here, said Dave Bedenbender, who
farms north of Neosho Falls, an observation also held by Marvin
Lynch, at Piqua Farmers Coopera-tive, and Daniels.
It was dry last fall and we had the best wheat ever, Bedenbender
said.
Daniels added snow would be helpful.
Its kind of like liquid nitrogen, he said. After it melts the
wheat always looks greener.
He thinks there is suf-ficient moisture for wheat to have
developed good root systems, but would prefer
his to be a tad further along, an outcome moisture would help
along.
We got in some late and it isnt up as much as wed like, he
said.
Daniels also has the nag-ging concern of what might occur if the
mercury drops into single digits and lin-gers. That could cause the
ground to heave and hurt young wheat.
But, wheats tough, he allowed. It can take a lot of cold and dry
weather and still do well.
The Thompsons are cattlemen, but did dip into farming in
August.
We planted wheat and rye in the dust, betting that rain would
come and the crops would grow enough to produce fall feed for their
cows, Thompson said.
Thats exactly what hap-pened.
We got a good rain in September, which brought up the wheat and
rye, and it was the only thing green anywhere, he said.
The rain Septembers total was 4.76 inches was also enough to
revive fes-cue.
It had been dormant for 70 to 75 days, Thomp-son said of the
cool-season grass.
Unseasonably warm weather in late fall also helped keep pasture
grass in the feeding cycle for cat-tle.
MOST AREA farmers have hay on hand, though in many cases not as
much as they would prefer.
I have enough, unless it gets awfully cold and stays cold, said
Daniels, noting that some area farmers al-ready were feeling a
pinch.
Ive had several calls about buying hay, including some from
farmers around here.
Thompson said his mead-ows produced about 50 per-cent of normal
rate, but he took advantage when the USDA released CRP grass in two
stages, in late August and early September.
It doesnt have as much nutrient value as prai-rie hay cut on
schedule, Thompson said, but its better than nothing.
That grass is more for filler, said Bedenbender, but it is a
component thats necessary in the life cycle of cattle. Especially
when temperatures turn frigid.
If it warms up a little, theyll nibble on pasture grass, but
when it gets cold they wont leave the feeder, regardless whats
there for them to eat, he said. Big cows will eat a third to 50
percent more when its cold, to keep up their body heat.
Bedenbender, too, said he had hay on hand, but has a bit of an
ill feeling going into what usually is the dead of winter.
We fed an awfully lot of hay in August when the pastures dried
up, he said.
If there is a silver lining to be found with the ongo-ing
drought, it is that feed-ing cattle isnt nearly as much of a chore
in dry con-ditions and cattle are more efficient in cleaning up hay
put out for them.
When hay gets wet and muddy, they wont eat it, said Daniels.
THIS IS the second straight year that the last six months have
been un-usually dry.
Since July 1 rainfall in Iola has totaled 12.77 inch-es, with
4.76 of that com-ing in September and 3.55 inches during three days
in mid-October.
Average annual rainfall in Iola is 37.74 inches.
Drier weather gave farm-ers ample opportunities to get fall
crops harvested, a process that was quickened by yields being less
than av-erage, though a little better than they had anticipated
during hot, dry spells in July and August. They also were able to
complete fall field work expeditiously.
Lynch figures about two-thirds of cornfields have re-ceived
anhydrous ammonia liquid nitrogen fertilizer in preparation for
spring planting. The rest, includ-ing some scheduled for dry
fertilizer, will be done in the weeks ahead.
Even though corn was hurt by the drought this year, Bedenbender
said it still is his, and most farm-ers, cash crop of choice. In a
year of normal yields, more than 100 bushels per acre can be
expected, and when the weather revolts, farmers have the advantage
of insurance.

In-deed, Congress could still act in January in time to
retroactively counter the effect on most taxpayers and government
agencies, but chances for a large deficit reduction package would
likely be put off.
House Republican lead-ers on Wednesday said they remain ready to
ne-gotiate, but urged the Sen-ate to consider or amend a
House-passed bill that extends all existing tax rates.
In a statement, the lead-ers said the House would consider
whatever the Senate passed. But the Senate first must act, they
said.
Aides said any decision to bring House members back to
Washington would be driven by what the Sen-ate does.

Heres how to know if youre happy
You feel well-rested. People treat you with respect. You smile a
lot and laugh in be-tween smiles. You learned or did something
interesting and had feelings of enjoyment yes-terday.
Making a list of the 10 hap-piest countries, Gallup asked 1,000
people in each of 148 countries if these character-istics applied
to them. They released their findings last week. Seven of the
happi-est countries were in Latin America. In Panama and Par-aguay
nations with high poverty rates and low public health statistics 85
percent of those polled said yes to all five questions, putting
them at the top of the list. Follow-ing close behind were El
Sal-vador, Venezuela, Trinidad, Tobago, Thailand, Guatemala, the
Philippines, Ecuador and Costa Rica.
What Gallup demonstrated again was that happiness is a state of
mind and can be part of a national culture.
Armenia which ranked close to the bottom is an example. A
sociologist there said, Armenians like being mournful, and, he
said, feel ashamed of being successful.
The United States came in
33rd on the happiness list, which brings up the question, How do
we get happier?
Gallup provided the answer: for goodness sake, count your
blessings.
Many of the people in those top 10 nations are miserable and
dont know it. Guatemala, to take one of them, has one of the
highest murder rates in the world. Thieves there steal everything
thats loose. The poverty rate is high, housing is awful, education
is worse and people there die earlier than they should because the
health care system is primi-tive. Similar criticisms can be made of
most of the nations of Latin America.
Without bad-mouthing the rest of them, the lesson Amer-icans
should take away from Gallups massive survey is that each of us is
in charge of our happiness quota.
If we have been spared ca-lamities, we can determine to be happy
and succeed. Look at those qualifications in the second paragraph
again. All are within reach of most of us.
Start by smiling a lot. Then work up to learning interest-ing
things and doing enjoyable activities. You wont get a bet-ter
present than the one you can give yourself.
Emerson Lynn, jr.
Make yourselfhappy; it reallyis within reach
Christmas has come and gone, but did you miss some-one on your
list? If so, theres time to make amends.
Here at the Register, the Bowlus Fine Arts Center tops every
list.
Maybe you went to one of the wonderful performances of the
Nutcracker ballet Fri-day or Saturday nights held on the Bowlus
magnificent stage.
Perhaps you will attend the next performance by a Chris-tian
singers troupe. No? Then you saw some Allen County 4-Hers
demonstrate what they have learned or achieved at a 4-H Day held on
the Bow-lus stage.
The Bowlus Center is Iolas crown jewel. But crown jewels need
cleaning, polishing and
tender care. Over the years, The Friends of the Bowlus have
given more than $700,000 to the Bowlus to keep it up to date and in
tip-top shape so that it can continue to be one of the highest
rated arts cen-ters in Kansas. All of the cen-ters needs are never
met.
Put the Friends on your year-end list. Write a check to-day
before you forget.
If youve already done your duty to the Friends, do like-wise for
your local community with a gift to the Allen County Community
Foundation. Call the Thrive Allen County office 365-8128 for more
details. And dont forget Hope Unlim-ited and the Food Pantry.
Dont give til it hurts; give until it feels good.
Emerson Lynn, jr.
Year-end giving
Do you ever get embarrassed by others actions? Whether it is
your kids, spouse, friends, etc? I am embarrassed by our two
Kan-sas senators, Jerry Moran and Pat Roberts. In December, the
U.S. Senate had the opportunity to join over 120 nations in
ratifying a treaty affirming the rights of people with
disabilities.
The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities aimed
to promote, protect and ensure the full and equal enjoy-ment of all
human rights and fun-damental freedoms by all persons with
disabilities. It was original-ly negotiated by President George
Bush and signed by President Obama. It had the support of for-mer
Kansas Senator Bob Dole, Ar-izona Senator John McCain, Utah Senator
Orin Hatch and Richard Thornburgh, who was President George H. W.
Bushs point man on the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990
(ADA).
All it needed was two-thirds approval from the Senate, but was
defeated by five votes. Both Senator Moran and Roberts vot-ed
against the treaty. All 36 votes against the treaty were from
Re-publican Senators.
This should have been a slam dunk vote because the treaty was
based upon the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990. The rea-sons for the no vote are
alarming to the point of ridiculous.
Those who opposed the treaty felt that it gave the United
Na-tions too much power, it would allow government inference in
home schooling and that it might allow new abortion rights. All the
treaty did was establish a UN advisory committee to oversee
disability concerns based upon the tenants of the ADA. Richard
Thornburgh said that the treaty would cede no authority to the UN
over the U.S. or any of its citi-zens. None. Zero.
It was quite amusing watching the Republican senators discuss
the issue on the Senate Floor. One senator claimed it gave the UN
too much power, while another claimed the treaty would not
ac-complish anything because the UN committee could only make
recommendations. Its funny that they would make these claims
be-cause the U.S. Senate has ratified similar treaties, most
notably the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial
Discrimi-nation, and American sovereign-ty is still alive and
well.
It was sad to see Bob Dole wheeled onto the Senate floor and
have to watch the proceedings. He was one of the champions of
the ADA in the late 1980s and has been a supporter of disability
rights since he was injured dur-ing World War II. He was prob-ably
thinking that he was glad the ADA passed when it did; the cur-rent
U.S. Senate would probably not have passed the bill.
I decided to look and see what other treaties dealing with
hu-man rights that the U.S. has failed to ratify and there were two
that stuck out, including the UN Con-vention to Eliminate All Forms
of Discrimination Against Wom-en.
We are one of six countries that have failed to ratify it; the
others include Iran, Palau, So-malia, Sudan, South Sudan, and
Tonga. Thats embarrassing. The Convention on the Rights of the
Child has been ratified by every country except two: Somalia and
the U.S. Thats even more embar-rassing.
At one time we were the leaders in spreading democracy and
free-dom throughout the world, now we take a back seat with Iran,
Sudan, and Somalia. The U.S. had the opportunity to retake the lead
in advocating worldwide for disability rights, a lead we once held
with the ADA, and now we are made to look the fool. Shame, shame,
shame.
Vote against disability act humiliating

It was sad to see former Sen. Bob Dole wheeled onto the Senate
floor and have to watch the proceedings. He was one of the
champions of the ADA in the late 1980s and has been a supporter of
disability rights since he was injured during World War II.
Underage drinking it some-times seems like the stuff of many
peoples good old days lore but it isnt harmless fun or a joking
matter. Its a serious problem that in the worst of cir-cumstances
can lead to deaths and lives changed in an instant.
Over the past five years, 196 people have been killed and 3,405
people have been injured in alco-hol-related crashes involving teen
drivers in Kansas, according to Kansas Department of
Transpor-tation figures cited in a recent re-port by the Kansas
Leadership to Keep Children Alcohol Free com-mittee, coordinated by
Kansas Family Partnership.
Thats why we have to remain tough when it comes to enforcing
laws to prevent minors from ob-taining and consuming alcohol. While
its true that young people intent on drinking often will find ways
to get their hands on alco-hol one way or another, we must make it
as difficult as possible. Too many bad decisions are made under the
influence.
The case currently in the news is sad for all involved, with one
young woman having lost her life, a young man now a paraple-gic and
another young man se-verely injured. Hunter Hillmer,
19, was convicted last week of reckless second-degree murder in
the death of 15-year-old Madison Maddie Naill, who was a pas-senger
in his car March 19 when it crashed into a utility pole and a tree
on S.E. 45th Street. Hillmer is now paraplegic, and another
pas-senger, Blake Hanvy, 20, was se-verely injured. Hillmer also
was convicted of aggravated battery (great bodily harm) in the
injury of Hanvy, driving while under the influence of alcohol,
possession or consumption of alcohol by a minor, and reckless
driving.
Hillmer testified during his trial that he had purchased a
bot-tle of whisky at Murphys liquor store, 400 S.W. 29th, the
weekend before March 19. A surveillance video from the store March
19 showed Hillmer and another man buying alcohol without showing
identification. Two clerks from Murphys liquor store have been
charged with one count each of furnishing alcohol to a minor, which
is a class B misdemeanor with a minimum $200 fine.
While ultimate responsibility for the choice to drink and drive
that night rests solely with Hill-mer, state law is clear that
sales to minors are illegal. In recent weeks, Safe Streets, the
state Al-
coholic Beverage Control division and the Topeka Police
Depart-ment have conducted a number of controlled buys at local
busi-nesses, citing establishments and those conducting the
transactions where alcohol is furnished to mi-nors. These
operations arent simply to catch people breaking the law but to
remind those that may have become lax about the consequences.
Retailers must take seriously the law banning sales to minors and
the responsi-bility to hire and train employees in this regard, as
well.
When it comes to carding, the state has made it easy to identify
minors without even having to do any math. Kansas drivers licens-es
for those younger than 21 are oriented vertically, rather than
horizontally.
Parents and older friends also must realize the prohibitions on
social hosting. Kansas social hosting law, adopted in 2004,
im-poses penalties on hosts who per-mit underage drinking on their
property. The minimum fine is $1,000.
Working together, we all can do our part to reduce access and
promote responsible decision-making.

Toll of underage drinking is great
60 Years AgoWeek of Dec. 23, 1952
T.A. Edgerton, Iola abstrac-tor, has successfully and
succes-sively followed two professions. He started as a school
teacher, became an abstractor and now is selling his business to
Frank Thompson, owner of the Iola Abstract Co. Edgerton taught
school or was a school admin-istrator for 47 years. In 1924 at the
age of 53, he retired from school work and went into the abstract
business to give my growing family a better break.
He bought an abstract business in Iola from B.C. Lamb, who had
owned it about two years. The firm was originally opened here in
the early 1870s by the late T. S. Stover. Edgerton made the
busi-ness flourish and now is ready for his second retirement.

grade, Murray said. KAMS has pushed me to do even more than I
thought I could. Ive done more in this semester than I thought was
even pos-sible.Plugging the brain drain
Murray is one of 68 stu-dents currently enrolled in the academy.
Another 53 students have graduated from KAMS since the first class
in 2009.
The Kansas Legislature founded KAMS in 2006, in part to give
students like Murray a learning opportu-nity in Kansas that would
challenge the states most talented students, said di-rector Ron
Keller.
The academy was formed to keep the students here in the state to
keep intellectual capital from leaving Kansas, to keep from losing
our best and brightest kids, Keller said.
Former State Rep. Kenny Wilk was one of the legis-lators who
pushed for the academy. He said it also was intended to help
contribute to the long-term success of the Kansas Bioscience
Au-thority, which was created the year before and which he also had
a hand in. Wilk now works for the Univer-sity of Kansas Hospital
and is a member of the Kansas Board of Regents.
We are going to invest tens of millions of dollars into growing
this new sec-tor of the Kansas economy in biosciences. If you
be-lieve thats going to work, youre going to need a work-force to
support it. We felt we needed a way to incent more bright young
people to stay here, Wilk said.
The program was mod-eled after similar efforts in 15 other
states, including Missouri, Texas and Illi-nois.
Tuition, books and fees for the program cost about $7,000 a year
per student, said Keller. That is paid for by the per-pupil state
education aid currently about $3,700, which other-wise would go to
the stu-dents high school and an additional state appropria-tion of
about $3,300 for up to 40 Kansas students.
The students family is responsible for room and board, which is
also about $7,000 per year.
Students graduate with at least 68 hours of college credit in
math and scienc-es, and some students grad-uate with even more,
Keller said.
It is an extremely rigor-ous curriculum. Our kids are taking
college chemis-try I and II, lab and lecture, physics for engineers
I and II, college biology, calculus I and II, he said. Some kids go
on to take calc III, differential equations, lin-ear equations.
Theyre way ahead and beyond where any other kids might be.
In addition to the 40 Kan-sas students, up to eight national or
international students are eligible for the program but do not
receive state aid those students pay $27,000 each year. Cur-rently,
six students from South Korea and China are in the program, and a
sev-enth from China has gradu-ated.Retaining recruits
Academy students have access to the universitys facilities and
organizations
like other Fort Hays stu-dents.
Brad Leupold, a high school junior from Hi-awatha, said he
joined the Pre-Med Club, where one of the activities is Dinner With
Doctors.
Different doctors from the community talk about their field and
medical school, Leupold said. I liked talking to one of the
cardiologists it was very
interesting. So maybe Ill possibly go that route.
From talking with doc-tors, hes become aware of the shortage of
family physicians in small towns across the state.
The local physicians definitely try to steer you in that
direction. They need doctors in small towns, Leupold said. I
understand that need, but at the same time I under-stand why people
want to specialize. Right now Im not really for sure on an ex-act
field.
Regardless, he said he sees himself staying some-where in
Kansas.
I like Kansas and Ill probably stay here. I like the mix between
the city and the not-so-crazy, more quiet side and Kansas gives you
that, Leupold said.
Nearly half of KAMS students have expressed interest in a career
in medi-cine, Keller said, but its too early to know how many of
the first class will go on to medical school. It will be many more
years, officials said, before its clear how effective the program
is at keeping bright students in Kansas.
We encourage them to stay here, Keller said. The ones Ive talked
to who are looking at going out of state for school, the majority
of them are still looking at com-ing back to Kansas for their
career and to establish their life.Supporting success
When Kansas Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan was in the state
Senate and wrote the bill to establish KAMS in 2006, he had in mind
kids who were skilled in math and science but did not have an
outlet at school that matched their potential, he said.
There are really some bright kids that, when they get into their
high school years, they really are not challenged by their classes.
We kept hearing that these kids would lose interest in science and
math, Jordan said.
Yet in the job market, de-mand continues to grow in the state
and nation for peo-ple with math and science skills, he said.
If youre going to build the workforce for the future and as
interested as weve been in trying to get the bio-sciences,
innovation and entrepreneurship going in Kansas this is an
essential part of our future success in building the Kansas
econo-my, Jordan said.

They checked to make sure the guns were empty, and
double-checked by pulling the triggers in clearing barrels metal
rubbish containers filled with sand. Then they put them into trash
contain-ers like bundles of sticks after a windstorm.
I had a question, one after another: Do we real-ly need this?
Does this re-ally make us safer? Vil-laraigosa said at a news
conference at the Sports Arena. I say, Look, the police department
is here because they believe in this program.
He said the buyback program had taken in 8,000 guns since it
began in 2009 and was just one part of a comprehensive police
strategy that has reduced violent crime in recent years. L.A.
Police Chief Charlie Beck said it was a critical component.
Sandra Lefall, 38, came to the site with Newtown
heavy in her heart. She had been thinking about coming since she
first heard the awful news. Im bringing in a 9-mil-limeter handgun
because I want to get it out of the house because I have teen-age
children. I would hate for them to do what that guy in Connecticut
did.
By 2 p.m. in Van Nuys, the police began telling people they were
out of gift cards.
Im not giving this away for free, said Sam Ferrell of Reseda as
he took a drag of his ciga-rette in his truck.
Ferrell said he was hop-ing to sell his stepsons handgun. There
are too many kids being killed by these things, he said.
He said he didnt plan to turn in any of his own guns, but that
he was glad his stepson didnt have his.
I need my gun, but not everyone who has one needs one, he
said.
H ExchangeContinued from A1
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) Owners of an old-school soda shop in St.
Paul, Minn., are being warned to kick the habit and stop stocking
novelty candy cigarettes.
City inspectors threat-ened a misdemeanor citation and $500 fine
if Lyndens soda foun-tain is caught selling the fake smokes again.
The Star Tribune reported Wednesday that the offer-ing violated an
ordinance
barring the sale of candy smokes and cartoon char-acter
lighters.
A city spokesman says the warning came after inspectors received
and looked into a complaint about the presence of the
tobacco-themed products.
Shop owner Tobi Lyn-den says the white candy sticks with the red
tips were her best-selling candy item but she pulled them to avoid
running afoul of the ordinance.

Now that hes away from the pool, Michael Phelps can reflect
really reflect on what he ac-complished.
Pretty amazing stuff.Its kind of nuts to think
about everything Ive gone through, Phelps said. Ive fi-nally had
time to myself, to sit back and say, ... that really hap-pened? Its
kind of shocking at times.
Not that his career needed a capper, but Phelps added one more
honor to his staggering list of accomplishments The As-sociated
Press male athlete of the year.
Phelps edged out LeBron James to win the award for the second
time, not only a fitting payoff for another brilliant Olympics
(four gold medals and two silvers in swimming at the London Games)
but recognition for one of the greatest careers in any sport.
Phelps finished with 40 votes in balloting by U.S. editors and
broadcasters, while James was next with 37. Track star Usain Bolt,
who won three gold medals in London, was third with 23.
Carl Lewis is the only other Olympic-related star to be named AP
male athlete of the year more than once, taking the award for his
track and field exploits in 1983 and 84. The only men hon-ored more
than twice are golf s Tiger Woods and cyclist Lance
Armstrong (four times each), and basketballs Michael Jordan
(three times).
Obviously, its a big ac-complishment, Phelps said. Theres so
many amazing male
athletes all over the world and all over our country. To be able
to win this is something that just sort of tops off my career.
OLYMPIANS TAPPED AS SIGNATURE ATHLETES OF 2012
Gabby Douglas
Michael Phelps
By NANCY ARMOURAP National Writer
When Gabby Douglas allowed herself to dream of being the Olympic
champion, she imagined having a nice little dinner with family and
friends to celebrate. Maybe shed make an appearance here and
there.
I didnt think it was going to be crazy, Douglas said, laughing.
I love it. But I realized my perspec-tive was going to have to
change.
Just a bit.The teenager has become a
worldwide star since winning the Olympic all-around title in
Lon-don, the first African-American gymnast to claim gymnastics
biggest prize. And now she has earned another honor. Doug-las was
selected The Associ-ated Press female athlete of the year, edging
out swimmer Missy Franklin in a vote by U.S. editors and news
directors that was an-nounced Friday.
I didnt realize how much of an impact I made, said Douglas,
who turns 17 on Monday. My mom and everyone said, You re-ally
wont know the full impact until youre 30 or 40 years old. But its
starting to sink in.
In a year filled with standout performances by female athletes,
those of the pint-sized gymnast shined brightest. Douglas re-ceived
48 of 157 votes, seven more than Franklin, who won four gold medals
and a bronze in Lon-don. Serena Williams, who won Wimbledon and the
U.S. Open two years after her career was nearly derailed by a
series of health problems, was third (24).
Britney Griner, who led Baylor to a 40-0 record and the NCAA
ti-tle, and skier Lindsey Vonn each got 18 votes. Sprinter Allyson
Felix, who won three gold med-als in London, and Carli Lloyd, who
scored both U.S. goals in the Americans 2-1 victory over Ja-pan in
the gold-medal game, also received votes.

COFFEYVILLE A competi-tion Saturday was a great start-ing point
for several of our first-year wrestlers, Allen County Wrestling
Club head coach John Taylor said.
The wrestling club, consist-ing of more than 40 area youths,
traveled to the sixth annual An-derson-Brown Memorial Tourna-ment
in Coffeyville.
Several Allen Countians brought home top-five finishes, led by
Eli Adams and Seth San-ford, who took first place in their
respective divisions.
We are very excited for this season to get under way, Taylor
said. We were very competitive, and I only see us getting better by
the end of the season in March.

third place in his division at the wrestling clubs season-opening
competition in Coffeyvllle.
Kyle Hammond, a four-year standout on the football field for
Crest High, brought home anoth-er honor Wednesday.
Hammond was among the high-schoolers selected to play in the
2013 Kansas Shrine Bowl.
The Shrine Bowl features the top graduating seniors in a
char-ity game for the benefit of the Shriners Hospitals For
Children.
Hammond rushed for 2,020 yards and 38 touchdowns in lead-ing
Crest to a 7-4 record, an av-erage of more than 183 yards a game.
He also completed nearly 62 percent of his passes for 1,119 yards
and 12 more touchdowns.
Hammond never scored fewer than two touchdowns in any game this
season, and he had single

NEW YORK (AP) Peyton Manning and Adrian Peterson want to cap
their sensational comebacks with Super Bowl ap-pearances. For now,
they can be proud of Pro Bowl spots.
So can Redskins quarterback
Robert Griffin III, one of two rookies chosen Wednesday for the
Jan. 27 NFL all-star game.
Manning missed all of the 2011 season with neck and back
problems that required several operations. He then signed with
Denver as a free agent and has led the Broncos on a 10-game
winning streak to take the AFC West.
I know theres great players out there in the NFL, but theres
some great players on this team this year that deserve to go, said
Manning, whose 12th Pro Bowl

is a record for quarter-backs. He ranks fourth in league passing
this year, has thrown 34 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
Four other Broncos made the AFC roster: DE Elvis Dumervil,
linebacker Von Miller, CB Champ Bai-ley and tackle Ryan Clady.
Baileys 12th appearance is a record for defensive backs.
Minnesotas Peterson tore up his left knee on Christmas Eve last
year, underwent major surgery, then was back for the sea-son
opener. Hes gone from uncertain to unstoppable, running away with
the rushing title with a career-high 1,898 yards and lifting the
Vikings toward an NFC wild card.
Griffin is one of three rookie QBs who had superb debut seasons,
along with Andrew Luck of Indianapo-lis and Russell Wilson of
Seattle. Luck and Wilson werent voted to the Pro Bowl by
players, coaches and fans, although their teams are in the
playoffs; Griffin can get to the post-season if Washington beats
Dallas on Sunday.
San Francisco had the most players selected, nine, including six
from its sec-ond-ranked defense. Hous-ton was next with eight, six
on offense.
Kansas City, despite its 2-13 record that is tied with
Jacksonville for worst in the league, had five Pro Bowlers,
including RB Ja-maal Charles, who like Pe-terson is coming back
from a torn ACL.
One other rookie, Min-nesota kicker Blair Walsh, was chosen.
Walsh has nine field goals of at least 50 yards, an NFL mark.
The AFC kicker is at the other end of the spectrum: Clevelands
Phil Dawson
earned his first selection in his 14th NFL season.
Another record setter will be heading to Honolu-lu: Detroit WR
Calvin John-son.
Johnson broke Jerry Rices single-season yards receiving record
and has 1,892 yards with a game left.
Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez set the record for Pro Bowls at
his position by being chosen for the 13th time.
The leagues top two sackmasters, DEs Aldon Smith of San
Francisco and J.J. Watt of Houston, were first-time selections.
Watt has 20 1-2 sacks, one ahead of Smith; the NFL record is 22
1-2.
Other newcomers, along with Griffin, Walsh and Dawson, were AFC
players tackle Duane Brown and guard Wade Smith of Hous-ton; safety
LaRon Landry of the Jets; kick returner
Jacoby Jones of Baltimore; and punter Dustin Colquitt of Kansas
City.
For the NFC, first-timers were Giants WR Victor Cruz; Atlanta WR
Julio Jones; Seattle tackle Rus-sell Okung and center Max Unger;
San Francisco guard Mike Iupati, linebacker NaVorro Bowman and
safe-ty Donte Whitner; Chicago cornerback Tim Jennings and
defensive tackle Henry Melton; Washington tackle Trent Williams and
special teamer Lorenzo Alexander; Minnesota fullback Jerome Felton;
Tampa Bay DT Ger-ald McCoy; and New Or-leans punter Thomas
Mor-stead.
Eight teams had no Pro Bowl players: Carolina, Philadelphia and
St. Louis in the NFC, Tennessee, Buffalo, Jacksonville, San Diego
and Oakland in the AFC.
Phelps retired at age 27 as soon as he finished his final race
in London, hav-ing won more gold medals (18) and overall medals
(22) than any other Olym-pian.
No one else is even close.Thats what I wanted
to do, Phelps said. Now that its over, its some-thing I can look
back on and say, That was a pretty amazing ride.
The current ride isnt so bad either.
Set for life financially, he has turned his fierce competitive
drive to golf, working on his links game with renowned coach Hank
Haney as part of a television series on the Golf Channel. In fact,
af-ter being informed of win-ning the AP award, Phelps called in
from the famed El Dorado Golf & Beach Club in Los Cabos,
Mexi-co, where he was heading out with Haney to play a few more
holes before nightfall.
I cant really com-plain, Phelps quipped over the phone.
While swimming is un-likely to ever match the appeal of football
or base-ball, it has carved out a nice little niche for itself amid
all the other athlet-ic options in the United States largely due to
Phelps amazing accom-plishments and aw-shucks appeal.
Just the fact that he won over James shows just how much pull
Phelps still has. James had an amaz-ing year by any measure: The
league MVP won his first NBA title with the Miami Heat, picking up
finals MVP honors along the way, and then starred on the gold
medal-winning U.S. basketball team in London.
Phelps already had won the AP award in 2008 after his eight gold
medals in
Beijing, which broke Mark Spitzs record. Phelps got it again
with a performance that didnt quite match up to the Great Haul of
Chi-na, but was amazing in its own right.
Phelps got off to a rocky start in London, finishing fourth in
the 400-meter individual medley, blown out of the water by his
friend and rival, Ryan Lochte. It was only the second time that
Phelps had not at least finished in the top three of an Olym-pic
race, the first coming way back in 2000 when he was fifth in his
only event of the Sydney Games as a 15-year-old.
To everyone looking in, Lochte seemed poised to become the new
Phelps while the real Phelps ap-peared all washed up.
But he wasnt going out like that.
Phelps rebounded to become the biggest star at the pool, edging
Lochte in the 200 IM, contributing to a pair of relay victories,
and winning his final indi-vidual race, the 100 butter-fly. There
were two silvers, as well, leaving Phelps with a staggering resume
that will be awfully diffi-cult for anyone to eclipse.
His 18 golds are twice as many as anyone else in Olympic
history. His 22 medals are four clear of Larisa Latynina, a
Soviet-era gymnast, and seven more than the next athlete on the
list. Heck, if Phelps was a nation, hed be 58th in the medal
standings, just one behind India (pop-ulation: 1.2 billion).
When Im flying all over the place, I write a lot in my journal,
Phelps said. I kind of relive all the memories, all the mo-ments I
had throughout my career. Thats pretty special. Ive never done that
before. Its amazing when you see it all on pa-per.
H Pro Bowl: Five KC players selectedContinued from B1
One of the few years the womens (Athlete of the Year) choices
are more compelling than the mens, said Julie Jag, sports editor of
the Santa Cruz Sentinel.
Douglas is the fourth gymnast to win one of the APs annual
awards, which began in 1931, and first since Mary Lou Retton in
1984. She also finished 15th in voting for the AP sports story of
the year.
Douglas wasnt even in the conversation for the Olympic title at
the be-ginning of the year. That all changed in March when she
upstaged reign-ing world champion and teammate Jordyn Wieber at the
American Cup in New York, showing off a new vault, an ungrad-ed
uneven bars routine and a dazzling personal-ity that would be a hit
on Broadway and Madison Avenue.
She finished a close sec-ond to Wieber at the U.S.
championships, then beat her two weeks later at the Olympic trials.
With each competition, her confi-dence grew. So did that smile.
By the time the Ameri-cans got to London, Doug-las had emerged
as the most consistent gymnast on what was arguably the best team
the U.S. has ever had.
She posted the teams highest score on all but one event in
qualifying. She was the only gym-nast to compete in all four events
during team finals, when the Americans beat the Russians in a
rout
for their second Olympic title, and first since 1996. Two nights
later, Douglas claimed the grandest prize of all, joining Retton,
Car-ly Patterson and Nastia Li-ukin as what Bela Karolyi likes to
call the Queen of Gymnastics.
But while plenty of oth-er athletes won gold med-als in London,
none capti-vated the public quite like Gabby.
Fans ask for hugs in addition to photographs and autographs, and
peo-ple have left restaurants and cars upon spotting her. She made
Barbara Walters list of 10 Most Fascinating People, and Forbes
recently named her one of its 30 Under 30. She has deals with Nike,
Kellogg Co. and AT&T, and agent Sher-yl Shade said Douglas has
drawn interest from companies that dont tra-ditionally partner with
Olympians or athletes.
She touched so many people of all generations, all diversities,
Shade said. Its her smile, its her youth, its her excite-ment for
life. ... She tran-scends sport.
H DouglasContinued from B1
H PhelpsContinued from B1
She touched so many people of all generations, all diver-sities.
Its her smile, its her youth, its her excitement for life. ... She
transcends sport.
Sheryl Gregg, agent for Gabby Douglas
rushes covering at least 35 yards in each of the 11 games in
which he played.
He also proved adept at receiver, averaging more than 22 yards
for each of his seven receptions, three
of which were good for touchdowns.
On defense, Hammond racked up 118 tackles, more than 10 a
game.
He also served as Crests punter, averaging more
than 32 yards a kick, down-ing 10 of his 17 punts inside the
opponents 20-yard line. As kickoff returner, he av-eraged 28 yards
per return.
Hammond is the son of Chad and Brenna Ham-
mond of Colony. He earned all-league honors at several positions
all four years of high school, while earning all-state honors his
final three years at Crest.

Taylor noted more than half of the 40 wrestlers are in their
first year of com-petitive wrestling.
Those finishing in the top five of their divisions
were:Ryan West, fourth place;
Landon Boldra, third; Jaar-on Griffin, second; Kyler
Mittlemeier, fourth; Ad-ams, first; T.J. Taylor, third; Payton
Houk, fifth; Tren-
ton Jones, second; Jeremy Ridge, third; Kyle Rogers, third;
Logan Brown, fourth; Hunter Mittlemeier, third; Sanford, first; and
Alejan-dro Vargas, second.
The wrestlers return to
the mats Saturday in Cha-nute for the SEK Jr. Comets
