An arraignment hear-ing for former Junction City-Geary County Ani-mal Shelter Director Lisa Junghans last week was postponed a month.

The hearing, during which Junghans would have entered a plea, was continued to Dec. 23 in Geary County District Court.

Junghans is accused of taking “at least $25,000” from the animal shelter, according to court docu-ments.

On July 9, Junghans resigned as shelter direc-tor without an explanation for her decision. She had worked at the shelter since 2006.

Junction City police arrested Junghans on Aug. 30. She was released on a $5,000 bond that evening.

A criminal complaint filed in court charges Junghans with one count of theft, but states the theft occurred “in two or more acts or transactions.”

The document doesn’t state a specific amount of money prosecutors believe was taken. No timeline of events is provided.

As of press time Mon-day, Deputy Geary County Attorney John Taylor, the lead prosecutor for the case, hadn’t yet returned a phone message from The Daily Union seeking addi-tional details.

Though county and city officials have yet to con-firm what funds were sto-len, an animal code recent-ly-approved by the City Commission makes chang-es to how pet fee licenses are handled.

The change was recom-mended by the city’s audi-tor’s last year after they raised red flags about the apparent absence of a pro-cess for tracking taxpay-ers’ dollars for those fees,

For Geary County Board of Education members and district officials, 155 is a sobering number.

That’s the total number of students classified as “homeless” in Unified

School District 475. Marty Rombold, Transi-

tion Living Coordinator, discussed the challenging task of helping needy stu-dents with board members last night.

“The idea of the program is to make the students on the same playing field with their peers, who are not

homeless,” Rombold said about the Transitional Liv-ing Program.

To do that, Rombold and the district works to make sure the families have items such as school supplies, bookbags, shoes for gym class and transportation to school.

Rombold said the stu-

dents are doing well in the classroom and Board presi-dent Ferrell Miller was impressed with how impov-erished students still come to school and perform.

“With all the hardships they face, they still come to school and learn,” Miller said. “It’s a wonderful thing to see.”

She continued and said school is the best place they can.

“It’s very difficult to do homework without a home,” Rombold said.

The term is not always attached to those living under a bridge or on the streets. For the district, a

Greek Heroes is out of business for the time being after the restaurant suf-fered significant structural damage in a fire Sunday afternoon.

At about 1:45 p.m. Sun-day, Junction City firefight-ers responded to the restau-rant, located at 1032 S. Washington St., for a report-ed fire.

On Monday, Fire Chief Kevin Royse said the esti-

mated loss is $150,000. He said the cause of the fire at this time is undetermined.

“It’s still under investiga-tion,” Royse said. “We did ask for assistance from the State Fire Marshal, just due to the fact it was a commer-cial building.”

Royse said the damage to the building was substan-tial. The fire left a large hole in the roof.

Greek Heroes was closed Sunday when the fire broke out.

The department respond-

ed with 13 firefighters.Royse said one firefighter

suffered a back injury while battling the blaze. The fire-fighter was treated at Geary Community Hospital and released.

On Monday, restaurant owner Bill Herr said his renter’s insurance will cover his losses.

The building is owned by Herington residents Joe and Mary Ann Maggard, according to Geary County Appraiser’s Office records.

Security at the court-house continues to be a hot topic with Geary Coun-ty officials.

But a couple more build-ings may be added to the mix.

Commissioners recently talked about the matter of keeping the courthouse and other buildings safe with Sheriff Tony Wolf.

“We’re still looking at options,” Commission Chair Ben Bennett said. “We haven’t final-ized anything yet. It’s still going to take some discus-sion ...”

Those discus-sions regarding Kansas House Bill 2052, began in the early months of 2013. The law allows people with conceal-and-carry permits to carry guns into public buildings such as the courthouse and other offices, if there are no metal detectors or security guards at entrances.

On Jan.1, all “no gun allowed signs,” will be removed from the entranc-es of buildings, if no plan is established.

Officials are working to send information to the

state Attorney General’s Office. Wolf said a docu-ment to request a four-year extension is complete. The county previously applied for a six month extension, which comes to

an end in January. Establishing a

secure entryway at the west side por-tion of courthouse is Wolf’s main pri-ority.

“We’re working toward making that a reality,” Ben-nett said.

In addition, Ben-nett said the Geary County Office and Pennell facility, which contain several law offices, are also being con-sidered.

“Hopefully, next week we’ll make some deci-sions,” Bennett said.

Wolf said he would like to install a camera system in the office buildings, to review what occurred in buildings if something

FORT RILEY — Barlow Theater, Building 7866 Normandy Drive on Custer Hill, will be re-opening with regular weekend show times.

The theater is tentative-ly scheduled to reopen Dec. 6, after an extended clo-sure.

“You don’t have to get away to see a good movie. You can stay right at home at Fort Riley,” said Lucin-da Trotter, manager, Bar-low Theater, Army and Air Force Exchange Service.

Since its closure, the theater has seen upgrades from film projection to digital projection.

The theater closed its doors March 3 because of low attendance, combined with an outdated film pro-jector. At that time, the costs associated with upgrading the theater’s film equipment were deter-mined to be too high, so the theater closed its doors, according to Trotter.

AAFES officials recon-sidered the decision a few months later and decided to go ahead and make the necessary upgrades and re-open the theater.

The theater will be able to show movies in 3-D with the new projector and has 3,000 pairs of 3-D glasses to accommodate patrons, she said.

Additionally, a new sil-ver screen is in place, as well as a new sound sys-tem. The upgrades have been costly, Trotter said, but the entire movie expe-rience will be of much higher quality than before.

“I really hope people uti-lize the theater, since it’s been given a second chance,” Trotter said. The theater will have four showings each weekend.

Friday evening show times will be at 7 p.m. Sat-urday show times will include a 2 p.m. matinee and an evening show time at 7 p.m., and Sunday show times will be at 5 p.m.

FORT RILEY — The annu-al Holiday Tree-Lighting ceremony will be at 5:30 p.m. Dec. 5 outside of Garrison Headquarters, Building 500 Huebner Road on Main Post.

The lighting of the holi-day tree kicks off the holi-day season every year at Fort Riley.

The ceremony is open to the public. In addition to the lighting of the tree, the event will feature singing, remarks, refreshments and a visit from Santa Claus.

“My favorite part is the arrival of Santa. The kids love him, and he likes to work the crowd,” said Ste-ven Balderrama, operations

specialist, Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobiliza-tion and Security.

The event is fun and fam-ily friendly, he said, with blankets and hot chocolate available, free of charge, while supplies last. A warm-ing tent also is available for attendees.

A section of Huebner Road, located in front of Garrison headquarters, will be closed during the ceremo-ny, from about 5 to 6 p.m.

Parking will be available behind the building, which can be accessed via Carpen-ter Avenue. A children’s group will sing Christmas carols, and the 1st Infantry Division Band and Fort Riley Army Spouses Choir also will perform.

“It’s exciting to have the spouse’s choir performing

for the first time this year,” Balderrama said.

Maj. Gen. Paul E. Funk II, commanding general, 1st Infantry Division and Fort Riley, will be the guest speaker for the event.

The 1st Infantry Division Family of the Year is the Tubbs family, which includes Sgt. Dean A. Tubbs, 2nd Bat-talion 16th Infantry Regi-ment, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, his wife, Kelli, and three children, Cody, 22, Kel-sie, 21, and McKenzie, 13. The family will assist Funk with lighting the community holiday tree.

After the tree is lit and the ceremony is complete, Santa will move into the foyer of the Garrison headquarters building for pictures with children.

FORT RILEY — Fort Riley’s Alcohol and Sub-stance Abuse Program is coordinating events in observance of 3-D Month.

“During the holiday sea-son, it’s especially impor-tant to remind Soldiers and civilians of some of the dangers that can lurk with so many parties and activi-ties going on,” said Chris Bowman, prevention coor-dinator, ASAP, Directorate of Human Resources.

A highlight of the month-long observance will be a performance by comedian Bernie McGrenahan. Show times are set for 10 to 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 to 3 p.m. Dec. 11 at Barlow Theater on

Custer Hill. Performances are open to Soldiers, Department of Defense employees and family members. No reservations are necessary.

“Instead of a typical briefing about drugged and drunk driving or drugs and alcohol, (Bernie’s approach is) kind of a back-door approach,” Bowman said. “He comes at (the audi-ence) with a little bit of humor, and I think that the humor gets people more engaged. As a result, they listen more carefully, and it’s just better received.”

Another event being offered by ASAP in obser-vance of 3-D Month is a class called Cracking the Code, which educates par-ents about current drugs being used by youth.

Holiday Tree of Memories set

Should all five commis-sioners be in attendance, Junction City could have a new animal code effective in the near future.

Two attempts were made on Nov. 19 to approve an animal code, but when it came down to votes, the commission tied 2-2. Vice Mayor Pat Landes was unable to attend the meet-ing. Tonight at 7 p.m., com-missioners will attempt to move forward on the ani-mal code. Last month’s debate centered around whether the city should place a limit on the num-ber of pets allowed per property.

Proponents of a limit have suggested allowing up to five of each type of licensable animal — dogs, cats, ferrets, domesticated rodents and hedgehogs. Each property would be allowed 10 total pets.

The limit was placed in the new ordinance lan-guage because some felt there was a need for a limit. That perceived need was brought up during the course of a year-long pro-cess in which a committee of stakeholders worked to create an updated animal code.

Veterinarians, city com-missioners, city staff, citi-zens and an animal control officer took part in those discussions. Opponents believe the pet limit is unreasonable. They’ve argued Junction City doesn’t have a problem with people keeping too many pets to the point where it could become a nuisance.Another agreement

As part of an effort to recruit Ventria Bioscience to Junction City, the city entered into an agreement with Kansas Bioscience Authority (KBA) that called for the body to pay the city $1 million in grants.

But since the City Com-mission tonight is expected to approve a new agree-ment with Ventria, KBA also wants to adjust its agreement with the city.

Tonight, the commission is expected to vote on a let-ter of understanding that spells out the new agree-ment with KBA. The new agreement would release KBA from $600,000 in grant “milestones,” which pri-marily relate to how many people Ventria employs. Most of the payments would be made when Ven-tria reached a certain num-ber of employees.

Under KBA’s proposal, the $400,000 in other grants wouldn’t have to be paid until February 2018.

At its last meeting, the City Commission granted agreement amendments to give Ventria a similar exten-sion to meet its milestones.

Essentially, the new agreement with Ventria gives the company more time before it must begin making payments to an escrow account for unmet “milestones” established in its agreement with the city. Those milestones set marks for number of employees and total acres used for pro-duction by a certain year.

TRIPOLI, Lebanon — The government authorized the army Monday to take charge of security in Lebanon’s sec-ond-largest city of Tripoli for six months following deadly sectarian clashes by rival sides stemming from the civil war in neighboring Syria.

Many fear that the vio-lence in Tripoli — only 18 miles (30 kilometers) from the Syrian border — could tip the rest of Lebanon back toward chaos. At least 12 people were killed and more than 100 wounded in the lat-est fighting that broke out Saturday.

The decision by caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati after a high-level security meeting at the presidential palace is meant to allay fears that the fighting was spread-ing out of control in the northern port city. But the army is weak and has been largely unable to stop the violence. Dozens of soldiers have been killed and wound-ed in Tripoli this year, often caught in the crossfire between rival gunmen.

Sectarian clashes linked to the war in Syria often flare in Tripoli between sup-porters and opponents of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Lebanon is divided into a patchwork of sects, includ-ing Sunnis, Shiites and Christians. Syria’s rebels are dominated by its Sunni Muslim majority, and Leba-nese Sunnis mostly support their brethren across the border, while Lebanese Shi-ites have staked their future with the Assad regime. The Lebanese Shiite group Hez-bollah has played a critical role in recent battlefield vic-tories for forces loyal to

Assad.The fighting in Tripoli is

concentrated between two impoverished, rival neigh-borhoods. The Bab Tab-baneh district is largely Sunni Muslim, as are most of the Syrian rebels fighting Assad’s rule. Residents of Jabal Mohsen, a neighbor-hood perched on a hill, are mostly from his Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.

But the violence in recent days has taken a more omi-nous turn, spreading to include other parts of Tripo-li as snipers took up posi-tions on rooftops, and gun-battles and rocket fire raged out of control.

On Monday, schools, uni-versities and some business-es were mostly closed as occasional gunfire rang out.

Tripoli’s landmark Abu Ali Square — usually packed with cars, pedestrians and shoppers — was largely deserted as ambulances took casualties to hospitals.

Lebanese military

armored vehicles patrolled, sometimes helping carry terrified civilians to safe places.

At one point, a brown BMW sped toward an army checkpoint near the square and screeched to a halt. The shaken driver jumped out and shouted to the troops, “I have two soldiers who were shot in the neck.”

The officers ran toward him, looked at the wounded soldiers in the car and said, “Take them straight to the hospital.” The car sped away.

A soldier said the two wounded officers had been off duty and were going home in the northern region of Akkar when they were hit by sniper fire.

On Sunday night, announcements were made through mosque loudspeak-ers for people to move to lower floors to avoid being hit by bullets or shells.

“I am worried about Trip-oli,” said Khaled Tutunji,

who works at a construction material shop near Abu Ali Square. “In the past, we did not know who is a Sunni and who is Alawite,” he said as he stood beside an armored personnel carrier as cracks of gunfire echoed from a dis-tance.

Tensions soared in the city in August, following twin bombings outside Sunni mosques that killed 47 people and wounded scores.

Authorities arrested sev-eral members of the pro-Assad Arab Democratic Party on suspicion they were involved and they sum-moned the group’s leader, Ali Eid, for questioning. He has refused to go to the police intelligence office, saying he did not trust them to be impartial.

His son, Rifaat, said his father is ready to go to any security agency other than the police intelligence office, which many pro-Syrians accuse of being dominated by anti-Assad officers.

WASHINGTON — Vin-cent Gray will seek a sec-ond term as District of Columbia mayor, settling a question that had hung over city politics for months.

Gray’s decision Monday sets up a campaign that will force voters to weigh the prosperity achieved during the Democrat’s nearly three years in office against the crimes several close associates commit-ted to help get him elected in 2010.

A federal investigation of the 2010 campaign has been ongoing for most of Gray’s term. Four people who worked on the cam-paign have pleaded guilty to felonies, two of them for helping to arrange and spend $653,000 in illicit funds on Gray’s behalf. Prosecutors called the effort a “shadow cam-paign” that tainted Gray’s victory over then-Mayor Adrian Fenty.

Gray maintains he did nothing wrong, although he has declined to discuss the case in detail. His attorney, Robert Bennett, declined to say whether he gave the mayor any advice about running for re-elec-tion.

Gray arrived late Mon-day afternoon at the D.C. Board of Elections to pick up nominating petitions. He has one month to col-lect 2,000 signatures to get his name on the ballot.

The mayor said he wait-ed until four months before the primary to declare his candidacy because he wanted to give U.S. Attor-ney Ronald Machen as much time as possible to wrap up the investigation.

“I was hoping that all the 2010 stuff would be over,” Gray said. “It isn’t and it will continue on however long the U.S. attorney chooses to inves-tigate it. We have 30 more days to get our petition in and I wanted to make sure at least I had that opportu-nity.” The mayor spoke only briefly to reporters after filling out his paper-work and said he would formally launch his cam-paign early next year.

“There are lots of people who have prevailed on me to do this,” Gray said. “I really think that people feel the city is going in the right direction.”

Supporters maintain that after a rocky first few months in office, Gray has

been a conscientious lead-er for a city that’s enjoyed declining violent crime, soaring property values, a rising population and improving schools. The mayor contends he has ful-filled his promises to shore up the city’s finances and make strides in education, public safety, economic development and environ-mental stewardship. He’s also been a forceful advo-cate for greater autonomy for the city, whose laws and policies are subject to review by Congress.

Gray is a late entry into the race, with the Demo-cratic primary scheduled for April 1. Some of his opponents have been run-ning for the better part of a year. The mayor remained coy about his intentions for so long that many observers — includ-ing some of his supporters and potential rivals — assumed he had no inten-tion of running.

As the incumbent mayor of a thriving city, Gray should have no trouble raising enough money to compete, but many of his influential 2010 backers have abandoned him, and he will have to rebuild a campaign organization from scratch. His approval ratings tanked amid reve-lations of the “shadow campaign” and a scandal involving minor candidate Sulaimon Brown, who was paid by Gray campaign workers to stay in the race and make negative com-ments about Fenty.

Brown was rewarded with a $110,000-a-year job in the Gray administration but was fired in early 2011 after less than a month in the position. He then came forward with his allega-tions, which led to the fed-eral probe. Two people pleaded guilty to paying Brown with Gray cam-paign funds and trying to cover up the transactions.

A Washington Poll in July 2012 put Gray’s approval rating at 29 per-cent and his disapproval rating at 59 percent.

Gray enters a crowded field of candidates from which no obvious front-runner has emerged. Four D.C. councilmembers — Muriel Bowser, Jack Evans, Vincent Orange and Tommy Wells — are seeking the city’s highest office. Other Democratic candidates include former State Department official Reta Lewis and Iraqi-born restaurateur Andy Shal-lal.

LONDON — Police in Iceland said Monday they shot dead a gunman — the first time armed police have killed someone in the nation.

Iceland, which has a tiny population of around 320,000, has a low crime rate and gun violence is extremely rare. Its regular police force does not carry firearms. Haraldur Johan-nessen, National Commis-sioner of the Icelandic Police, said Monday’s inci-dent was unprecedented.

Police said officers were called to an apartment in the Reykjavik suburb of Arbaer early Monday when a man fired a shotgun from inside the flat. Two police-men, who were not armed, were shot at when trying to enter the gunman’s apart-ment.

Witnesses told local media that a smoke bomb was thrown into the apart-ment through a broken window in efforts to sub-

due the man. A special armed unit then entered and fired at the man, who was rushed to the hospital, where he died. No one else has been injured.

“All available members of the police force were deployed, and they tried to subdue him, but it was not successful,” Reykjavik Met-ropolitan Police Commis-sioner Stefan Eiriksson told a press conference, according to local media website Visir. “The man began to shoot out the window of the apartment and it was decided to take action.” The motives of the man, who has not been named, are unclear. According to RUV, Ice-land’s national television station, the gunman was a man in his fifties and had been making threats to his neighbors.

Shotguns for hunting are legal in Iceland. Many Icelanders believe that the country rarely sees gun violence in part because handguns are banned.

WASHINGTON — Presi-dent Barack Obama’s new and improved health care website faces yet another test in just a couple of weeks, its biggest yet. If HealthCare.gov becomes overwhelmed by an expect-ed year-end crunch, many Americans will be left fac-ing a break in their insur-ance coverage.

Until now, the main dam-age from the website’s tech-nology woes has been to Obama’s poll ratings. But if

it chokes again, it will be everyday people feeling the consequences.

Some of those at risk are among the more than 4 mil-lion consumers whose indi-vidual policies have been canceled because the cover-age didn’t comply with requirements of the new health care law. A smaller number, several hundred thousand, are in federal and state programs for people whose health problems already were a barrier to getting private insurance before the overhaul.

Another viewLet’s stop buying, giving stuff people don’t want or need

By Daniel Fink

Los Angeles Times

Some celebrate Christmas, some Hanukkah and some Kwanzaa, but to me the coming holiday time is potlatch season, and it’s start-

ing earlier every year.A potlatch was a festival of the indigenous peo-

ples of the Pacific Northwest during which the host distributed property and gifts as a way to demon-strate wealth, generosity and social standing.

Guests would reciprocate at a later time with items that matched or exceeded the value of the original gifts, or risk being humiliated.

Although births and marriages were sometimes acknowledged at a potlatch, the main purpose was the reciprocal redistribution of wealth. The more one gave away, the greater one’s power.

In some tribes’ celebrations, the goods were destroyed, in what might be called the ultimate act of conspicuous consumption.

In the late 1800s, Canada and the United States banned potlatch ceremonies at the urging of Chris-tian missionaries and government agents, who saw the custom as wasteful, unproductive and contrary to civilized values. These bans were clearly dis-criminatory, but were also a way of assimilating the native peoples into Western traditions of dis-playing power by accumulating and keeping wealth rather than by giving it away. The potlatch bans were eventually repealed.

Fast-forward 125 years, and one wonders wheth-er modern American society has adopted the pot-latch traditions. As “Black Friday” morphs in one direction to interfere with the celebration of Thanksgiving and in the other toward Cyber Mon-day, people continue to buy one another things just because they “have to get someone a gift,” even if it may be re-gifted, returned or never used.

Our society’s barely restrained annual celebra-tion of blatant commercialism approaches the seemingly needless exchanges and even destruc-tiveness of the potlatch.

Judging from news reports and holiday sales that began before kids were done trick-or-treating, retailers are very concerned that business will be down from last year. They have reason to be con-cerned. Aside from the shorter shopping period between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the econo-my is still a shambles, the economic impact of Obamacare is unclear and there are no really “must have” consumer electronics, books or toys.

Unfortunately, in these hard economic times, when jobs are still scarce, there is great need and even food insecurity, especially among younger people and families with children. But in most parts of middle- and upper-class Southern Califor-nia, nobody appears to need much more than what they already have.

My wife says that if everyone thought as I do, the economy would be in even worse shape. She’s prob-ably right. The malls would be emptier and busi-ness would be down for sweatshops in China, unsafe factories in Bangladesh and makers of gift cards and wrap.

But here in the Los Angeles area, cars are parked in driveways or on the street because garages are full of stuff. And when Angelenos run out of space there, they rent storage lockers, where from time to time they visit their extra things.

Maybe this year, we can work toward ending the potlatch season. Let’s stop buying and giving things people don’t want and don’t need.

If you feel a need to give, give food to the hungry, clothes and toys to those in need, or donations to victims of storms, violence or conflict. A plate of homemade cookies or some other delicacy deliv-ered personally is a much better way to remember friends and family than a meaningless generic gift, a “dustable” to sit on the shelf or yet another ill-fitting sweater in the wrong color.

And most older people need even fewer things. Unfortunately, what they really want — youth, vigor, health — are things we can’t give them. But they, and I’m sure many others, would appreciate a call, a card or a visit from family, neighbors and friends. So will you.

Daniel Fink wrote this for the Los Angeles Times.

Impact of securing water rightsEver have one of those ideas so big

and complicated and distracting that you don’t notice the ham-

burgers burning on the grill?Well, we’ve got one running around

the Statehouse: The concept of secur-ing the rights to millions of gallons of water from the Missouri River that is the ragged northeast border of Kansas and building a 340-mile long aqueduct with more than a dozen pumping sta-tions to move the water to western Kansas to inject into the shrinking Ogallala Aquifer.

How’s that for a project? First getting the rights to the water, and then con-structing a gigantic aqueduct that would have most of the world rethink-ing what “great” means.

That’s “great” as in the Great Pyra-mids, which would become “pretty nice pyramids,” or the Great Wall of China, which would be demoted to “a pretty cool wall those Chinese guys built.”

Almost too big to get your mind around ... if you spend most of your time in the Statehouse. But the concept is one that ought to at least be talked about.

Western Kansas, always dry, is see-ing the seminal underground water pool shrink ... which means less, and at some point, no water for crops, for live-stock, for drinking and for flushing. Not right away, but in the foreseeable future.

We’ve preserved the aquifer as best we can with laws regulating use of that vital resource, but practically the aqui-fer is drying out.

It could be recharged with water from the Missouri River taken gingerly so as not to hinder barge traffic on the Mississippi, but with authority by the state claiming ownership rights to parts of that Missouri flow.

Boy, this idea goes a lot of ways ... securing the water rights to the giant multi-billion dollar construction proj-ect crossing more than a dozen coun-ties.

But, can you imagine the impact of securing water for western Kansas, where water is the life blood of the region?

And, can you imagine more than a dozen county commissions planning for rights-of-way for the aqueduct, the county roads and state highways that will need bridges, and how school buses get to the children and back to schools?

How about ... would those miles of

aqueduct banks (edges?) be the place you’d like a home, or will the aqueduct be deep enough that you could boat, or maybe just kayak or canoe on it?

Will eastern Kansans, and their leg-islators, see the advantage of keeping western Kansas and its ag and meat-processing and dairy industries grow-ing?

Or, are we pretty sure that if John-son County residents can get enough water for their lattes that they won’t worry much if western Kansas farm-ers have to fetch bottled water for their livestock?

Do you want the aqueduct to go through your field, or beside the high-way? Will someone decide to put up a restaurant or strip joint beside the aqueduct?

Lots of things to think about. Lots of ways for this idea to go.

It just better be decided before the Legislature is reapportioned again ... oh, and watch the grill, please…

Milford Council business as usual?By RaymonD Chenault

Special to The Daily Union

Egg on their faces is one way to put it. Over the last four months, I have attended the Milford City

Council meetings. A big item at the meetings was the insurance payments made by the city, which were not sup-posed to be made for the superinten-dent.

Why didn’t the City Council know from the start that insurance payments for a part time employee against their own rules? Some on the council at that time had been in office for several terms.

Seems like the superintendent knew, but let it go after all it was in his favor. When the council was told by a mem-ber a few months later the insurance payments were wrong, why didn’t the mayor stop the payments?

Only when it was told to the public did anything happen. The superinten-dent was given a week to decide on his employment. Why not a day. Doesn’t matter because he waited weeks to get back to the council and got his insur-ance wrongly paid for a couple more months. A whole year of insurance payments were wrongly paid.

Anytime someone complains about something in the city, it is almost a sure thing that instead of looking into

it, some of the council or mayor goes after whoever complained.

Worst case of this a couple of months ago when a citizen and council member had a long shouting match and the problem in question got set aside and the argument seemed more important. A couple on the council start wanting to circle the wagons when anybody says the slightest thing about the gov-ernment.

Blight has been a big issue for a cou-ple of months and some progress has happened. A new council member has taken an interest and the mayor and city staff are doing a better job, but there is a long way to go. I suggested that the height of grass limit be dropped from 12 inches to eight inches and more or less got hooted down by some on the council.

We live by a lake and next to farm-land or unimproved land. This makes it more important to eliminate blight and unkept properties. We need to have things maintained so not to attract ver-min. Already rats are causing damage to cars. We need to make sure vermin are not comfortable in the city.

Biggest problem we have is those in the government appear to want to pro-tect each other rather than protect those who elected them.

Last month a councilman complained about another councilman giving an interview to a Daily Union reporter

and a letter printed in the paper. He said more or less that problems

should have been settled in private. We all know that didn’t work. In fact it encourages not playing by the rules and keeping secrets that should be pub-lic. We are supposed to have an open government without secret handshakes or problems kept in hiding.

Councilmen and the mayor should tell all the truth even if the guy sitting next to him doesn’t like it. Then we have an honest and open government. Several people told me that they won’t attend council meetings because the council won’t listen and do what they want.

That is a problem that only all the taxpayers can solve. Taxpayers should come to council meetings, give their opinions, and take notes on who to vote for or at least not to vote for.

Council members and the mayor are not paid and it is not an easy job. If they can’t do the right thing represent-ing all the taxpayers they shouldn’t have run or be on the council.

I hope the issue of the wrongly paid insurance payments which amounts to thousands of dollars will not result in the taxpayers just sucking it up and business just going on as usual.

News from around KansasBrownback appoints

new ag directorTOPEKA — Gov. Sam

Brownback has named a deputy Kansas secretary of agriculture to lead the department.

Brownback said in a release Monday that Jackie McClaskey will succeed Dale Rodman as secretary of the state’s Agriculture Depart-ment after Rodman steps down Dec. 10.

McClaskey has been with the department since Janu-ary 2011, when she became an assistant secretary.

She was named deputy secretary of the department in July. McClaskey, who grew up on a family farm in Girard, was assistant dean of the Kansas State University College of Agriculture before joining the Agriculture

Department. Rodman was appointed secretary of agri-culture in January 2011.

In July, he was elected chair of the Board of Direc-tors of the Kansas Biosci-ence Authority, where he will continue to serve.

Man arrested over slayings, goes to court

PARSONS— A man held in connection with the deaths of a southeast Kansas moth-er and her three children has had his first court appear-ance.

KWCH-TV reports that 22-year-old David Cornell Bennett Jr., of Cherryvale, appeared Monday in Labette County District Court through a video feed from the county jail.

The judge found probable cause to continue holding

Bennett on $5 million bail in connection with the deaths of 29-year-old Cami Umbarg-er and her children, 9-year-old Hollie Betts, 6-year-old Jaxon Betts and 4-year-old Averie Betts.

The attorney general’s office is handling the case and has until Dec. 10 to file charges.

Umbarger and her chil-dren were found dead Nov. 25 at their Parsons home. Authorities have not said how they died.

Bennett has filed paper-work to obtain a court-appointed attorney.

Wisconsin trucker sentenced in Koch

cyberattackWICHITA — A Wisconsin

truck driver who joined a

cyberattack on Wichita-based Koch Industries was sentenced Monday to two years’ probation and ordered to pay $183,000 in restitution for the onslaught that briefly took the company’s website offline.

Eric Rosol, 38, of Black Creek, Wis., was sentenced in U.S. District Court for tak-ing part in the cyber-attack on Koch Industries. He plead-ed guilty earlier to a misde-meanor count of accessing a protected computer. Prose-cutors agreed in Rosol’s plea deal to recommend a sen-tence at the low end of fed-eral guidelines.

Koch’s website was offline for about 15 minutes during the 2011 attack organized by the hacking collective Anon-ymous.

The parties agreed that the direct loss from the attack was less than $5,000. But

Koch Industries, one of the largest private companies in the U.S., contends that when it learned of the planned attack, it hired a consulting group at a cost of $183,000 to protect its websites and, if any attack was successful, to minimize its effects, accord-ing to the plea deal.

In his plea agreement, Rosol admitted that on Feb. 28, 2011, he participated for about one minute in the “Dedicated Denial of Ser-vice” Internet attack on the web server for Kochind.com. The indictment alleges that Anonymous asked conspira-tors in February 2011 to launch a cyberattack that sent a high volume of repeat-ed requests to a Koch web-site. Numerous conspirators complied, and the company’s website crashed.

As part of his agreement with prosecutors, Rosol also

agreed to forfeit the comput-er used in the cyberattack. He also agreed that as part of any probation he would not contact the victim or any website hosted by Koch Industries, Angel Soft or Georgia Pacific.

Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our early 80s.

We have four children. “John” and “Susan” are from my first marriage.

They were very young when my first husband died and I remarried.

I then had “Jane” and “Alice.”

On my most recent birth-day, Jane took my husband and me to our favorite res-taurant.

Jane also invited Alice, who lives in a rental on our property. (Susan lives in another state.)

Alice posted on Facebook what a nice dinner we had. The next morning, Susan called Alice at 4 a.m., scream-ing, “Why didn’t you invite John?”

She then proceeded to call me and scream. I was shocked.

I sent her an email later and asked why she was so upset.

I love John, but he has made a mess of his life.

He is a bully and has had confrontations with every-one in the family.

We recently found out that John molested Alice when she was 5 years old.

Alice is cordial when she is forced to be around him, but John has never admitted or apologized for his actions.

My older kids are not ter-ribly reliable.

We named Jane executor of our estate because Susan is a heavy pot smoker and quick-tempered, and John cannot be trusted. It breaks my heart, but that’s the way it is.

Susan hasn’t spoken to me in months.

I now believe she and John have always been jealous of my younger daughters.

Even though my husband raised them all, Susan has said hurtful things about him.

She also says I “never wanted” her. This is com-pletely untrue.

I pine for Susan every day, but I refuse to phone her because of the awful things she says to me.

My husband says we only have a few years left and we should enjoy them. What do you think? — Heartbroken

Dear Heartbroken: It is not unusual for children, even grown ones, to harbor resentments and jealousies against younger siblings, particularly when those sib-lings are from a different marriage.

While your older kids could have benefited from family counseling at the time, there’s not much you can do about that now.

We suggest you send Susan a letter or an email, simply saying that you love her and always will, that you are sorry for the rift, and that you hope someday her anger will pass.

Meanwhile, please have

Alice contact RAINN (rainn.org) at 1-800-656-HOPE.

Being cordial to her molester may be harder on her than you think.

Dear Annie: I was taught that “RSVP” stands for “please respond.”

But these days, huge orga-nizations (often charities) send mass-mailed invitations to hundreds of people, some of whom have little connec-tion to the group and may live so far away that it would be extraordinary if they attended.

I always write a note send-ing my regrets, because this has been ingrained in me.

But I also worry that the functionary who receives my note wonders, “Who is this anachronism living in the past century?”

Do the charities really expect the non-attendees to RSVP that they will not be there, or do they merely seek a head count? — Don’t Want To Be Old-Fashioned

Dear Don’t: They want a head count, but an RSVP saying “no” is equally appro-priate.

And we are certain they appreciate (and marvel at) an actual handwritten response by someone who is well-mannered enough to send one.

Bless your heart.Dear Annie: Please tell

“Polly Positive” that she and her husband should attend a cancer support group.

After my husband was diagnosed with cancer, we joined two cancer support groups.

We get a lot of information from the survivors and are able to give advice to the newly diagnosed.

I can’t stress strongly enough how important sup-port groups are. — Big Can-cer Support Group Advo-cate

ARIES (March 21—April 19). You have mixed feelings about ceremonies. Some-times you feel they are boring, stiff and contrived. Then again, that is precisely what makes them so memorable. So plan a bit of ceremony into your next big gath-ering.

TAURUS (April 20—May 20). You think you know right from wrong, but when you get into some of the gray areas today, you’ll discover that it’s not as clear as you thought. Your intentions are pure, but is that enough?

GEMINI (May 21—June 21). In the morning, you’re all pleasantries and lov-ing words, but there may be something a bit heavier to impart in the evening. Think about what you want to say first. Practice it on paper if you have to, but don’t let it go unsaid!

CANCER (June 22—July 22). Don’t let the afternoon lull hurt your overall pro-ductivity. A brisk walk is the best thing to clear the fog in your head. And if you go for longer than 20 minutes, you may even experience a spiritual high.

LEO (July 23—Aug. 22). You will be asked to do a job you are not yet qualified to do. This is a sign that you should con-sider getting new training. Investigate the need. How likely are you to get more requests like this one?

VIRGO (Aug. 23—Sept. 22). Most people will do something about the suf-fering of others when they know it exists. But most people won’t seek that kind of knowledge. You have a sixth sense about where the problems are and how you can

help.LIBRA (Sept. 23—Oct. 23). You’ll feel

better when things look better. The disor-der in your living environment is largely the mess of other people. Even though your mess is small in comparison, clean it up, and the others will follow suit.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24—Nov. 21). Through the ages, average people have experi-enced works of sheer brilliance and laughed. But that doesn’t mean that every misunderstood work is brilliant. Interpret today’s presentation with cau-tion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22—Dec. 21). Knowing is not enough. The person who knows the path but doesn’t walk it is no better off than the person who doesn’t know the path. Walk the path.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22—Jan. 19). You don’t want to be the kind of person who avoids confrontation, so you actively seek it. For some interactions, electronic cor-respondence can seem cowardly. Impor-tant news is best delivered in person.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20—Feb. 18). Our memories may change and fail, but for the most part, it’s easier to recall what really happened than it is to recall a story about what happened. Because of this, someone who lied will be caught.

PISCES (Feb. 19—March 20). Lead with your integrity, and you’ll receive hints as to the character of others. Pretty packages are not always filled with good-ness. Being tasteful is not the same thing as being right or intelligent.

FROM PAGE ONE/NEWS

Assistant City Manager Cheryl Beatty said Sept. 4 during a City Commission meeting.

The new code makes the pet licensing and fee collec-tions the city treasurer’s responsibility.

In the past, vets and the Junction City-Geary Coun-ty Animal Shelter were responsible for those collec-tions.

Beatty later told The Daily Union the city had

been looking into changing the fee collection process since last year when the auditors voiced concerns, long before the recent events surrounding Jung-hans were revealed.

Geary County court records show Junghans has a number of civil court cases related to financial issues.

U.S. Bankruptcy Court records show Junghans filed for chapter 7 bank-ruptcy in 2001. She filed for chapter 13 bankruptcy in 2003 and again in 2008. She was granted a bankruptcy discharge each time.

In a phone interview on Monday, Joe Maggard told The Daily Union they don’t have insurance for the building.

The property and build-ing have a combined appraised value of $235,900. The building has an appraised value of $63,260.

Herr was at the restau-rant Monday. He had spent the morning attempting to find any items inside the restaurant that were sal-vageable.

Whether the building will be declared a total loss isn’t yet clear.

“I don’t know yet,” Herr said. “They have to have an engineer look at it.”

Herr isn’t sure whether he’ll look to reopen the res-taurant at a different loca-tion.

About 14 people worked

at Greek Heroes. The res-taurant opened about three months ago.

The building was a Den-ny’s for many years before becoming Napoli’s, an Ital-ian restaurant that closed in summer 2012.

Meat smoker causes house fire

A meat smoker placed too close to a house caused significant damage to the home Wednesday evening.

At about 8 p.m. Wednes-day, the Junction City Fire and Police departments responded to a single-fami-ly residence at 414 W. 15th St. for a structure fire call.

Junction City Fire Chief Kevin Royse said wind played a factor in starting the fire.

Though there were no injuries, the house received heavy damage.

“It was pretty substan-tial,” Royse said. “It was estimated at about $30,000 to the structure.”

student is classified as homeless if they living in a shelter, motel, somewhere with inadequate utilities such as running water, no guardian or doubled up (liv-ing with another family).

The district receives $18,000 annually from the McKinney–Vento grant, to help these students. Rom-bold said that amount may increase slightly or decrease by a few hundred, in some years.

But that is not enough. Rombold said the district also has to rely on Title I, federal money to meet the school-related needs of stu-dents.

Board Member Brian Field said it’s a difficult task.

“I’m glad to see that our district is addressing this,” he said. “This time of year is very difficult.”

For the holiday season, the district is trying to match families with social service agencies, to assist with Christmas.

“There are school staff people that always step up and always want to adopt families,” Rombold said.

Churches and programs like Shop with a Cop, have been a tremendous help for the district.

“Hopefully, we get the

majority of kids something under their Christmas tree this year,” she said.

In addition, an anony-mous shoe company is donating 200 pairs to needy children and students in the district.

Superintendent Ronald Walker said he was proud of Rombold’s work and believes it’s nice to have community support from programs such as United Way of Junction City-Geary County.

“I’m not sure if there’s a community wide effort to help homeless people,” Walker said. “We have a shelter, but there’s far more families in need than what we have space for.”

According to USD 475, the numbers consist of eight pre-kindergarten stu-dents (8 percent), 49 ele-mentary children (76 per-cent), 30 middle school stu-dents (19 percent) and 37 attending Junction City High School (24 percent).

Rombold reported the Junction City homeless rate is 4.5 percent.

Throughout the year, Rombold said she will con-tinue her work to make sure the children have everything they need to be successful.

“It a very rewarding job to work with these fami-lies, because they’re always so grateful for anything that you do.”

Junction City’s Steiger named

Centennial League’s girls’ cross country coach of the yearJunction City cross country

coach Becca Steiger was named Centennial League girls’ cross country coach of the year Mon-day.

The award was voted on by the cross country coaches in the league.

“I have to give it all to the girls that ran this year because they are really the ones that ran hard and gained recognition by the public,” Steiger said Monday over the phone. “It’s because of the girls that I was recognized.”

Steiger’s Blue Jays finished second in the Centennial League meet, where three runners, Rosie Hollis, Deisjambra Bisio and Autumn Sifuentes earned medals.

Junction City then sent three runners, Hollis, Bisio and Myrissa Humphreys as individuals to the state meet.

“I think it brings some recog-nition to the efforts of our team, that we’re doing some really good things as a cross country program,” Steiger said. “And I hope that helps some new recruits see that and we keep growing and stay strong and do great next year.”

Final registration for Winter Futsal league

The Junction City Winter Fut-sal (indoor soccer league) returns this winter. The last chance to register will be at the Freshmen Success Academy on Dec. 4 and 5 from 6-8 p.m.

The Futsal league will be held every Saturday between Dec. 7 and Feb. 22 at the Freshmen Suc-cess Academy (except for Dec. 28).

Divisions will be set up for grades 5-8 and 9-12. Each indi-vidual will be placed on a team.

The youth club is also regerst-ering kids in grades 1-4 for free.

For more information, contact Junction City soccer coach Drew Proctor at [email protected].

Sooners weigh QBs for Bedlam showdown

Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said nothing during his weekly press conference on Monday to indicate he wouldn’t start Trevor Knight at quarterback Saturday at No. 6 Oklahoma State.

Blake Bell started eight games this season for Oklahoma (9-2, 6-2 Big 12, but he left the Iowa State game after suffering a con-cussion.

Stoops says he assumes Bell will be cleared for action if need-ed against Oklahoma State (10-1, 7-1).

Stoops also says he feels good about how well the Sooners have moved the ball offensively with Knight at quarterback for most of the past two games. Knight played well in relief in the 48-10 win over Iowa State and as the starter in a 41-31 win at Kan-sas State two weeks ago.

edge of the deal says the Seattle Mariners are on the verge of bringing back utility man Willie Bloomquist.

The person spoke on condi-tion of anonymity on Monday because the deal is still pending a physical expected to take place later this week. Bloomquist is the Mariners’ first offseason signing and provides them a util-ity player who can play both infield and outfield positions.

The Junction City wrestling team could’ve been staring at its reflection Monday night.

When the Blue Jays looked across the solitary mat which sat at the center of the Shenk Gymnasium, the opponent was itself.

The team held its Blue/White meet three days before the first meet of the season for one last chance to evaluate where each wrestler is before the matches count.

“One of the reasons we do the blue and white is to see in real life situations how the guys are reacting,” Junction City coach Bob Laster said. “And that’s how I find out if we’re in the right shape.”

While the meet opened with a pair of exhibition matches,

once the Blue and White team started sending wrestlers out to the mat, a place in the line-up for Thursday’s meet against Clay Center and Chapman was on the line.

Gary Joint, Lake Deam, Gabe Padilla and Jhade Gray ripped off four consecutive wins for the Blue team to start the night before Marques Mitchell put the White team on the board in the 132-pound division.

Jake Bazan responded with a win for the blue team in the 138-pound division but then Aryus Jones scored a win for white.

Dymond Piper, Jaron McCall, Micah Felton each scored for the blue team before Jeffery Walters edged out Malik White 8-6 for blue in the final match of the evening.

Chiefs try to regroup after third straight lossBy davE SkrEtta

Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The line of demarcation might as well be the Kansas City Chiefs’ bye week.

In the nine weeks prior to taking some time off, the Chiefs rolled to a 9-0 record, an unimaginable turnaround from a 2-14 finish a year ago. The defense was holding opponents to just 13.3 points per game, and the offense was playing nearly mistake-free football.

Everything has changed in the last three weeks.

After a pair of losses to the Broncos sandwiched around a heartbreaking defeat to the Chargers, the Chiefs not only have watched the AFC West lead slip away, they’ve also become the first team in NFL to win its first nine games

and then lose three in a row.It’s safe to say it is gut-

check time for the suddenly stumbling Chiefs.

“I told the team this isn’t college football. This isn’t the end of the season,” coach Andy Reid said. “Now it’s important that we get our-selves back and ready to go, and finish the season like we’re capable of doing, and our guys, coaches and play-ers, will do that.”

That’s the kind of confi-dence that the Chiefs exuded prior to their bye week.

It’s the kind of confidence that’s been lacking of late.

Part of the reason for the abrupt turnaround in for-tunes has been the schedule, which went from one of the easiest in the NFL to one of the most difficult.

The Chiefs’ first nine games were against teams that have

a combined record of 41-67, while the Broncos and Char-gers have a combined record of 25-11. That stretch earlier in the season included four straight games against last-place teams, and six straight against teams third or fourth in their respective divisions. Only the Cowboys (7-5) and Eagles (7-5) have winning records.

Kansas City has swapped out the Bills, which were quarterbacked by Jeff Tuel, for the Broncos, who are led by Peyton Manning. The Tex-ans and quarterback Case Keenum have given way to the Chargers and Philip Riv-ers, who is having arguably the finest year of his career.

“They’ve been coming out with game plans and they’re making plays when it counts,” Chiefs safety Kendrick Lewis

LAWRENCE — After the way that Kansas State ran the ball a week ago, Bill Sny-der decided to make every effort to prove that the Wild-cats were still a ground-and-pound kind of team.

No better opponent to ground and pound than its closest rival.

John Hubert ran for a career-high 220 yards, Jake Waters accounted for three touchdowns and the Wild-cats beat turnover-prone Kansas 31-10 on Saturday for

their fifth straight win in the series.

“I just got through with John, and I told him how proud I was,” Snyder said. “Sometimes he gets caught dancing a bit, but today he didn’t’ do that. He kept his pad level low and ran hard.”

Unlike last week, when the senior running back had 17 yards in a loss to Oklahoma.

“Last week we didn’t rush the ball as well as we should of,” Hubert said, “so we wanted to come out and prove we’re still a hard-nosed team. We came out and got the job done.”

Hubert also had a touch-

down run for the Wildcats (7-5, 5-4), who will become the fourth school in Big 12 history to start 2-4 and reach a bowl game when it learns its destination in the coming weeks. The most likely bet is the Holiday Bowl, where Snyder has never lost.

Meanwhile, Kansas (3-9, 1-8) stumbles into the offsea-son with its fifth straight los-ing record and few signs that coach Charlie Weis had made much progress in two years in charge.

Jake Heaps threw for 138 yards with three intercep-tions, while Montell Cozart

Police ID man killed in

Arrowhead Stadium lot

By Bill Draper

Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It could take four to six weeks before authorities can determine how a man died after an altercation in the parking lot of Arrowhead Stadium dur-ing Kansas City’s game against Denver, police said Monday.

The man was identified as Kyle A. Vanwinkle, 30, of Smithville. An exami-nation of Vanwinkle’s body did not show obvi-ous signs of trauma, Kan-sas City police spokesman Darin Snapp said in an emailed statement.

Snapp said a man who owned a Jeep and his son returned to the vehicle during Sunday’s game and found a man “who did not belong” inside, which led to a fight between the owner and Vanwinkle.

Police responded to a disturbance call in Lot A at Truman Sports Com-plex, where Arrowhead Stadium is located, and

found Vanwinkle on the ground unconscious. Three people were taken into custody Sunday eve-ning, but all were released Monday afternoon with no charges filed.

Snapp said investiga-tors are awaiting autopsy and toxicology reports before deciding whether Vanwinkle’s death was the result of a crime.

“We don’t know if the person had a health con-dition, had a heart attack. We don’t know,” Snapp said Sunday. “We’re going to investigate this as a homicide until we hear differently. Right now it’s a suspicious death but we are going to investigate it as a homicide.”

It wasn’t clear whether the men knew each other, or whether the Jeep owner had been in the stadium or was outside tailgating with other fans. Arrowhead has a no re-entry policy, meaning anyone who left the close-ly contested game would not have been allowed to come back inside.

The Daily Union. Tuesday, December 3, 2013 3B

said. “When the game is on the line, they’re making it count.”

That also has been true.Six of those first nine

games were decided by 10 points or fewer, and the Chiefs won all of them. The last three have also been decided by 10 points or fewer, and they’ve lost all of them.

First came a 27-17 defeat in Denver that ruined the Chiefs’ perfect season, and then came a length-of-the-field drive by Rivers in the final minute to give San Diego a 41-38 victory in a game that Kansas City thought it had won after a late touchdown of its own.

On Sunday, the Broncos scored 28 straight points spanning halftime to seize control, and then held on when Alex Smith’s pass on fourth down into the end zone with 1:46 left fell incomplete.

“We just have to play ball,” Chiefs safety Eric Berry said. “Nobody can have their head down. It was a tough game and they happen when you play against a good football team. We just have to go in with a sense of urgency and get some things done.”

They might want to start with reassessing their

defense.A team that was once on

pace to set an NFL record for sacks in a season with 35 through the first seven games has gotten to the quarterback just twice in the last five games. That lack of pressure has exposed a secondary that has been torched by Manning and Rivers the past few weeks.

The Chiefs allowed an average of 208.3 pass yards and 326.9 total yards during their nine-game win streak, and the result was 13.3 points per game. They’re allowing an average of 371 pass yards and 484.3 total yards during their skid, and 34.3 points per game.

“You know, earlier in the year we were coming out the other end of it,” Smith said. “We just have to con-tinue to fight. I think this team has that kind of char-acter.”

For all its recent ills, Kansas City can still clinch a playoff berth Sunday with a win over downtrod-den Washington and either a Miami loss at Pittsburgh or a Baltimore loss to Min-nesota.

“We still have everything we want in front of us,” Smith said. “It’s no time to point fingers or do any-thing like that. Just con-tinue to do what we’ve been doing.”

Or more accurately, what they were doing the first nine weeks.

SPORTS

Charlie Riedel • The Associated PressDenver Broncos wide receiver Eric Decker hauls in a touchdown reception against Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Marcus Cooper Sunday, in Kansas City, Mo.

Battle 4 Atlantis.Joel Embiid came off the bench to

add nine points, seven blocked shots — all in the second half, and the most in a game by a Kansas reserve since at least 1995 — and six rebounds.

“We have a long ways to go to become a good basketball team,” Self said. “And that’s not all bad, either. We rarely have great teams in November. But we’re not as good as we were 17, 18 days ago. So that’s a little frustrating that we’ve gone backwards. We didn’t play well at all over here.”

Naadir Tharpe added 11 for the Jay-hawks (6-1), who never trailed. The Jayhawks won despite Andrew Wig-gins being held to six points, nearly 10 below the freshman’s season average.

McKenzie Moore scored 15 for UTEP (4-4), including three free throws with 6.8 seconds remaining to get the Min-ers within three. Justin Crosgile scored 14 points and Vince Hunter added 10 the Miners, who held Kansas to 39 per-cent shooting.

“Let me just say that we got beat by a fine team tonight,” UTEP coach Tim Floyd said. “And they’re going to do a lot of things, I think, in the NCAA tour-nament this year.”

It was the second straight night where Kansas saw a big early lead, 11-2 against Villanova and 15-2 against UTEP, evaporate and the game turn into a struggle.

The finish was frantic, with UTEP scoring 13 points in just over a minute and carving away most of a late 14-point Jayhawk lead, but Kansas had enough.

Barely, but enough.And if UTEP had been better from

the line, it might have been a different story — the Miners missed 10 of 24 tries from the stripe.

“I was real pleased with the effort,” Floyd said.

Kansas led by 15 in the second half, and after a series of UTEP rallies, the

Jayhawks were still up by 14 following Ellis’ jumper from the right wing with 2:21 left.

It was 59-45 at that point. It was 18-8 UTEP the rest of the way, a far cry from how the Miners started the night.

On UTEP’s first possession, Floyd — who isn’t exactly shy about going against convention, with his box-and-one and triangle-and-two defenses on display often in the Bahamas — did something hardly ever seen anymore, especially at the start of games.

He stalled, though said afterward that it wasn’t a true stall, just a set with hopes of creating 3-on-2 mismatches or open drives.

Think the old North Carolina “four corners,” or something akin to it, any-way. That’s what the Miners did in the opening minutes, running an average of 30.1 seconds off the 35-second shot clock on their first nine possessions. Simple logic, really — the fewer posses-sions Kansas had, the fewer chances it would have to score.

It only sort of worked.After 5 1/2 minutes, Kansas had only

two points.

In that same span, the Miners had zero points.

“It was different ... but I thought we adjusted well,” Ellis said.

The Miners missed their first six shots and didn’t get on the board until 12:35 remained in the half, a drive by C.J. Cooper snapping an 0 for 6 start by UTEP and cutting Kansas’ lead to 7-2. By the time UTEP scored again, Kansas had already pushed the lead out to 15-2, running off eight straight. And along the way, UTEP ditched the ploy and just started playing.

That’s when it became a game, for really the first time. UTEP went on an 18-11 spurt, getting within 26-20 late in the half. Wiggins — who had been scoreless until then — scored six straight to give Kansas a 12-point lead with 1:30 left, and Selden’s acrobatic drive gave the Jayhawks a 34-25 lead at the break.

But UTEP hung around, all the way to the end.

“We didn’t want to leave here with-out getting better for the rest of the season,” Hunter said. “I believe we did. I believe we got better, playing the No. 2 team in the country.”

also threw a pick. The Jay-hawks also fumbled twice for a season-high six turnovers.

“When you turn it over 100 times the chance you have to come back in a game like that just goes out the win-dow,” said Weis, who only allowed two players — seniors Dexter Linton and Gavin Howard — to speak to reporters after the game.

Waters finished with 160 yards passing, including touchdown throws to Zach Trujillo and Glenn Gronkows-ki. Waters also ran for a TD while playing almost the entire way, even in a stiff breeze, as run-first quarter-back Daniel Sams watched from the Kansas State side-line.

Dante Barnett had two interceptions and recovered a fumble for the Wildcats, while Dylan Schellenberg had a pick and also recovered a fumble while playing for injured safety Ty Zimmer-man.

James Sims had 22 carries for 82 yards in his final game for Kansas. Last week, the senior became the first play-er in school history with back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons.

“He’s probably one of the better running backs to ever come through, and because the team hasn’t won many games he’ll be underappreci-ated,” Weis said. “I feel bad for him.”

The 112th edition of the Sunflower Showdown went very much like the last four editions.

Kansas State needed just three plays to get on the board first. Waters found Trujillo down the seam on an option-pass, and the big tight end rumbled untouched 35 yards for the touchdown.

After the Wildcats forced a punt, it took four more plays to score again. This time, it was Hubert finding a crease and running nearly untouched 21 yards for the

score.Kansas State made it 21-0

moments later when Waters hit his big fullback, Gronkowski, on a 29-yard catch-and-run that closely resembled Trujillo’s touch-down catch.

If there was any electricity in Memorial Stadium, it was gone by that point.

Heaps, took over for the ineffective Cozart, finally got Kansas going when he threw an 11-yard TD pass to Jimmay Mundine on fourth-and-2 in the second quarter. Then the Jayhawks took advantage of a fumble on the ensuing kickoff to tack on a short field goal.

Kansas State overpowers Central Arkansas 87-54

By AdAm SudermAn

Associated Press

MANHATTAN — Bruce Weber understood his team lacked a legitimate scoring option coming into the sea-son. Most of all, he didn’t want to depend on his fresh-men for production.

After seeing freshmen lead in scoring in four of the first six games, Weber received a welcomed perfor-mance in which five return-ing players scored at least eight points.

Shane Southwell scored a season-high 19 points and Thomas Gipson added 17 as Kansas State defeated Cen-tral Arkansas 87-54 in the first ever meetings between the schools.

“We got the ball into Thomas right away and took advantage of our size and we made some more shots,” Kansas State coach Bruce Weber said. “I’m happy for Shane because he came into the gym and put some time in. After struggling in Puer-to Rico, he got rewarded and knocked some shots down.”

DeShone McClure and Jalen Jackson both scored 12 points to pace the Bears (2-4), who are eligible for postseason play for the first time since their 2006 admis-sion to the Division I ranks.

It was Kansas State’s (4-3) best offensive performance of the season, with a season-high in points and rebounds (52).

The performance on the glass was the best for the Wildcats since its Nov. 18, 2012 matchup against North Florida where they tallied 54 rebounds.

“We have put a lot of time in rebounding since the beginning of the year,” Weber said. “We’ve probably put even more emphasis the last couple weeks since we’ve been a little bullied on

the boards. Hopefully it’s paying off a little bit.”

In its first home game after a seventh-place finish in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off, momentum was never in question for Kansas State.

After opening on a 12-2 run, the Wildcats never saw their lead fall underneath double digits — and pushed it to as many as 23 points in the first half.

“We expected a run and I thought they’d shoot the ball a little bit better than they’ve been shooting it,” Central Arkansas coach Clarence Finley said. “They’ve been struggling with their outside shot and I should have probably start-ed zone.”

Kansas State’s undersized

frontline dominated the Bears on the boards by hold-ing a 27-13 advantage — 14 on the offensive end.

Southwell paced the Wild-cats with 10 first half points while DJ Johnson added eight of his 10 total rebounds.

Second-half adjustments weren’t effective for the Bears as the Wildcats opened on an 11-4 run by scoring 10 of those points in the paint.

“We know they were going to get second and third shots because we don’t block out as well in the zone,” Finley said. “In the man-to-man, we tried to double down on the post, Gipson. He got it off quick before we could get into our double down.”

some talent, but there were things we could’ve done better,” said Deam, who qualified for state last sea-son. “There are things, fundamentally, we can develop.”

After placing second in state last season, the Blue Jays enter the 2013-14 cam-paign ranked second in class 6A.

But the team feels posi-tive about its prospects.

“Practice has been real-ly good,” said Felton. “Everybody’s been doing what they’re supposed to be doing, working hard, doing the conditioning right, it’s going good.”

Felton, a senior, is anoth-er state qualifier returning to the team.

He said he was surprised how quickly his final year in the Blue Jay wrestling program has snuck up on him.

Last year, Junction City finished undefeated in dual meets.

It gets it’s first shot to repeat that feat Thursday.

“It’s a long season but we’d like to go in and get those two wins and then move on from there,” Last-er said. “But Chapman and Clay Center are both tradi-tional wrestling schools, so we know we’re going to have out hands full.”

Despite the recent suc-

cess, the Blue Jay wres-tlers know the team is a long way from achieving its goals for the season.

“We have potential and all, but potential doesn’t mean nothing,” Deam said. “We’ve got to practice hard, stay together and live up to that potential.”
