That’s why America’s Fallen Heroes’ president and founder Randy Hayes wants to help raise money to provide for those who have made major sacrifices for their country. Many believe veterans with serious combat inju- ries are set up by the federal government with a handi- capped-accessible vehicle or house. “That’s fiction,” Hayes said. “The fact is they get a stipend for a certain amount of money toward a vehicle or a stipend toward the pur- chase of a house. We, as a society, should take care of them.” Hayes’ passion for his cause was apparent last week as he stood next to a 2013 Ford Raptor pickup truck that depicts the 70-year history of the Unit- ed States Navy SEALs and the underwater demolition teams from World War II. “As you walk around the truck, it’s a history,” Hayes said. The truck, which he plans to sell to support his organi- zation’s mission, was on dis- play Dec. 19 at the new Dick Edwards Auto Plaza in Junction City. The truck is the first in America’s Fallen Heroes’ Operation Raptor series, a six-truck campaign that aims to raise awareness for the ongoing needs of criti- cally-injured military veter- ans, specifically those involved in special forces. Operation Raptor’s goal is to provide financial assis- tance for handicap housing and other financial needs for veterans and their fami- lies. The organization also seeks to help other nonprof- it organizations with funds to achieve their goals. Hayes expects the truck to fetch about $500,000 when it’s sold at an auction in a year-and-a-half. The truck’s artwork was airbrushed at a shop in South Dakota. The truck itself was purchased at the other Dick Edwards loca- tion in Junction City. “Because we purchased the truck here and they were so helpful, we wanted to come back and show them our appreciation,” Hayes said. Junction City isn’t the only Kansas town with a connection to the truck. Husky Liners, located in Winfield, sponsors the truck. Hayes said the Husky Liners is a “great, patriotic company” to partner with for the campaign. Until it’s sold, the truck is going to be part of a nation- wide tour that will make stops at major sporting events, concerts and events in smaller communities to raise awareness for the cause. “It’s not just something for big venues, it’s some- thing for the country and community-oriented events, too,” Hayes said. The next truck in the series is going to honor the Army’s Special Forces. Hayes said they’ll be mak- ing another stop in the area next year to show off that vehicle. “We’re going to come back in April or May at Fort Riley and do a big presenta- tion for them,” he said.

Geary County has been chosen to receive $5,488 to supplement emergency food and shelter programs in the county.
The selection was made by a National Board that is chaired by the U. S. Depart-ment of Homeland Securi-ty’s Federal Emergency Management Agency and consists of representatives from American Red Cross; Catholic Charities, USA; National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA; The Jewish Federa-tions of North America, The Salvation Army; and, United Way Worldwide.
The National Board was charged to distribute funds appropriated by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter pro-grams in high-need areas around the country.
A Local Board made up of a Geary County Commis-sioner, representatives from American Red Cross, Catholic Charities, Jewish Congregation of Manhat-tan, Salvation Army, United Way and others will deter-mine how the funds award-ed to Geary County are to be distributed among the emergency food and shelter programs run by local ser-vice agencies in the area.
The Local Board is responsible for recommend-ing agencies to receive these
funds and any additional funds made available under this phase of the program.
Under the terms of the grant from the National Board, local agencies cho-sen to receive funds must: 1) be private voluntary non-profits or units of govern-ment, 2) be eligible to receive Federal funds, 3) have an accounting system, 4) practice nondiscrimina-tion, 5) have demonstrated the capability to deliver emergency food and/or shelter programs, and 6) if they are a private voluntary organization, have a volun-tary board.
Qualifying agencies are urged to apply.
Geary County has dis-tributed Emergency Food and Shelter funds previ-ously with Catholic Chari-ties, the Food Pantry and Open Door participating. These agencies were responsible for providing food, lodging, rent and util-ity assistance.
Public or private volun-tary agencies interested in applying for Emergency Food and Shelter Program funds must contact Ailleen Cray, Local Board Chair at United Way, [email protected] , (785) 238-2117 for an application. The deadline for applica-tions to be received is Mon-day, Dec. 30.

A federal grand jury returned an indictment Wednesday charging two Chinese agricultural sci-entists with conspiracy to steal trade secrets from Ventria Bioscience in Junc-tion City.
The defendants, Weiq-iang Zhang, 47, of Manhat-tan, and Wengui Yan, 63, of Stuggart, Ark., were charged in a criminal com-plaint filed Dec. 12 in Unit-ed States District Court.
The indictment charges both men with one count of conspiracy to steal trade secrets and one count of theft of trade secrets.
The indictment states as
part of the conspiracy, Zhang and Yan helped visi-tors from a crops research institute in China obtain unique rice seeds devel-oped by Ventria at its Junc-tion City manufacturing and research facility, locat-ed at 2718 Industrial Drive.
On Aug. 7, U.S. Customs and Border Protection per-sonnel found the allegedly stolen seeds hidden in the luggage of the visiting Chi-nese scientists who were boarding a flight to return home after visiting the United States.
Zhang works as a rice breeder at Ventria’s Junc-tion City facility, according to his profile on LinkedIn, a social networking web-site for business profes-sionals.
Earlier this week, the Northern Colordao Busi-ness Report reported Ven-tria, which is based in Col-orado Springs, placed Zhang on leave.
Ventria produces plant-made pharmaceuticals that could be used to treat a variety of conditions. Its primary product, which still is in development stages, could be used by hospitals to treat antibiotic associated diarrhea.
Earlier this year, Ventria management told the Junc-tion City-Geary County Economic Development Commission it projects potential worldwide reve-nue to be between $1.2 to $3 billion if that drug is com-mercialized.
In the criminal com-
plaint, a FBI special agent investigating the case stat-ed Ventria has invested millions in the seeds.
“(Ventria’s) current investment in the technol-ogy that enabled these products is approximately $75 million,” the agent stat-ed. “If this technology was compromised or the seeds were stolen, (Ventria) believes its entire research and development invest-ment would be compro-mised.”
Federal judges recently ruled Zhang and Yan must be detained until their next court dates.
If convicted, both defen-dants could face up to 10 years in federal prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

In briefMoran to visit GVP
U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) will host a town hall meeting as part of his Kansas Listening Tour on Saturday, Dec. 28.
Area residents are encouraged to attend and share feedback with Moran on the critical issues facing Kansas and the nation.
The issues Moran focuses on and the work he does in Washington, D.C., are largely based on the con-versations he has with Kansans dur-ing these town hall meetings.
He will be at Stacy’s Restaurant from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 28.
Throughout his time in Congress, Moran has made it a priority to stay connected to the people he repre-sents despite a distance of more than 1,000 miles between Capitol Hill and Kansas.
Since his election to the U.S. Sen-ate, Sen. Moran has held a town hall in each of Kansas’ 105 coun-ties.
Then-Congressman Moran trav-eled to each of the 69 counties during his annual “Big First Listen-ing Tour.”

By Tim Weideman
A little Christmas spirit goes a long way.
R/C Hobbies customer and former Fort Riley sol-dier Oscar Bonilla’s Christ-mas spirit certainly made 12-year-old Ethan Ander-son’s holiday season.
Ethan had been working on a model camper and frequently would stop by R/C Hobbies in Junction City and share updates on his progress.
While in the store one day, Bonilla heard Ethan talking about his plans to someday purchase a truck to pull his camper.
R/C Hobbies manager Karen Eddy said that’s when Bonilla had the idea to order a truck.
“He was just impressed,” she said.
Ethan’s father, Chris Anderson, said Bonilla may have seen a little bit of himself in Ethan.
“He just really liked my son — how he was think-ing things through and how he was planning to build stuff,” Chris said.
The truck cost almost $500. Bonilla also gave Ethan a toolbox.
Though Ethan knew Bonilla and the folks at R/C Hobbies had some-thing planned for him, he
wasn’t quite sure what it was.
Ethan had to wait for about a month before he found out because some of the truck parts were back-ordered.
Ethan finally was able to pick up the truck from the store on Dec. 21. Chris said his son was “ecstatic” to receive the truck.
Ethan didn’t know Bonil-la was an Army Veteran, Chris said. That will impress his son even more.
“My son wants to join the Marines,” Chris said. “He’s very patriotic. He’s got an American flag hang-ing in his bedroom.”

The Pilot Club of Junc-tion City recently donated communication software to Unified School District 475’s Special Education Program.
The program, Board-maker, will assist teachers and staff with developing communications pro-grams, visual schedules and other visual cues and supports to assist special needs students in the classroom.
Many students, particu-larly students with Autism Spectrum Disorders are visual learners and com-municate or follow school routines much easier with the help of these sup-ports.
The Pilot Club has a goal to assist with protecting the brain, its growth and helping people with brain disorders or issues.
“I presented to the club last spring to tell them about what we do in our Early Childhood Special Education Program and they contacted me this fall to say that they had access to some grant money that they would like to share with our program,” stated Jennifer Blair, Exception-al Student Services Coor-dinator. “This software is used by all of our class-room teachers and related services staff, however, we do not have copies for everyone. This will allow more of our staff easy access to the program.”

MANHATTAN — The College of Business Admin-istration at Kansas State University has earned an extension to its Association for the Advancement of Col-legiate Schools of Business International accreditation for both its business and accounting programs.
The association, or AASCB, was founded in 1916 and is the longest serving global accrediting body for business schools.
Association accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in business education, and has been earned by less than 5 percent of the world’s busi-ness programs.
“We are honored to have our AACSB accreditation extended,” said Ali Malekza-deh, Edgerley family dean of the College of Business Administration. “It shows that we are providing our students with quality busi-
ness education and demon-strates the excellence of our faculty and staff.”
The accreditation exten-sion process included sub-mitting a report detailing the college’s strategic plan, curriculum, learning expec-tations and faculty creden-tials, as well as a two-day campus visit by a group of two deans and two account-ing department heads from other Association for the Advancement of Collegiate Schools of Business Inter-national-accredited schools of business.
The visit included inter-views with faculty, staff and students and participation in regularly scheduled lec-tures.
The college was first accredited by the associa-tion in 1973, receiving accreditation for its under-graduate business pro-gram.

Another viewMr. President, put these
curbs on the NSAThe following editorial appeared in the
Los Angeles Times on Friday, Dec. 20
Two days after a judge ruled that the National Security Agency’s bulk collection of Ameri-cans’ telephone records was probably uncon-
stitutional, the Obama administration on Wednes-day released a report in which a presidential task force called for an end to the program.
The President’s Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies also suggested other significant reforms in the collection of data about Americans and foreigners. President Obama, who said he welcomed a debate over the activities exposed by Edward Snowden, should take the pan-el’s advice.
Even supporters of the Patriot Act were stunned when Snowden revealed that the NSA was using a provision of that law to collect on an “ongoing daily basis” information about the source, destina-tion and duration of virtually every telephone call placed in the United States. Intelligence officials said it was necessary to amass this electronic “hay-stack” to locate “needles” of information that could help in the detection and disruption of terrorist plots.
But, as the report acknowledges, there is scant evidence that bulk collection of phone data has played an essential role in preventing terrorism. Meanwhile, the storage of vast amounts of infor-mation by the government “creates potential risks to public trust, personal privacy, and civil liberty,” the report says.
To prevent such abuse, the task force suggests that the data be held by telecommunications com-panies or some third party. The government could obtain and “query” the data only if it convinced a court that the information sought “is relevant to an authorized investigation intended to protect ‘against international terrorism or clandestine intelligence activities.’”
The task force envisions a system in which requests for information would be more specific and court orders would be “reasonable in focus, scope and breadth.” That would still allow investi-gators to track the phone activity of people who might have no connection to terrorism, but it would be an improvement over the present drag-net.
The task force also proposes changes in the way the government collects intelligence about foreign-ers, including foreign leaders, and it sensibly urges U.S. intelligence agencies to refrain from subvert-ing the security of commercially available soft-ware.
Viewed overall, its 46 recommendations amount to a recognition that the intelligence apparatus too often has engaged in activities because they were technologically possible, even if they weren’t nec-essary and even if they compromised Americans’ legitimate expectations of privacy.
As Richard Clarke, a member of the task force who served in the George W. Bush administration, put it, “What we’re saying is, just because we can doesn’t mean we should.”
Christmas gemsBy John Schlageck
Kansas Farm Bureau
Some people forget about the true meaning of Christmas — celebrat-ing the birth of Christ, love, friend-
ship and spending time with the family. As a youngster I have fond memories of Mom inside fixing turkey and dressing while my brothers and I would be play-ing outside throwing snowballs, play-ing “fox and geese” and just being kids.
One thing I’ll never forget about this period of my life are some of my dad and his friend’s favorite sayings. It seems like we always visited more dur-ing the holiday season and as children we had the opportunity to hear some of these words of wisdom more often dur-ing this time of year.
These sayings came from neighbors, brothers and cousins – folks he’d lived with for years, some as many as 70 years. A few were rare buddies, with special nicknames like, Cactus, Draw-ers, Baldy, Short Legs, Fuzzy — you get the picture.
Here are just a few — the gems — the ones I’ll remember always:
• Your friends are the measure of your real worth.
• The outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man.
• Why do you think the good Lord gave you two ears and one mouth? So you could listen twice as much as you talk.
• Wait until you get a little older, then you’ll understand.
• If you’re going to train your dog, you have to be smarter than the dog.
• Never be too quick to criticize your-self. It ain’t fair to your friends and relatives who are itchin’ to do it for you.
• If all of your friends climbed up the elevator and jumped off, would you have to too?
• If you haven’t been bucked off a horse, then you’ve never ridden one.
• You can’t listen too much when a friend needs someone to talk to.
• Some things aren’t funny even to your best friend.
• If we have to love our enemies, we have to treat our friends even better.
• A friend is someone who dislikes the same people you do.
• The only way to have a friend is to be one.
• The best three friends a man can have are his wife, an old dog and ready money.
• A real pal will at least pretend to
believe your lies.• At the end of your life if you have
two or three true friends, you’ve lived a good life.
• A true friend is someone who knows that when you’ve made a fool of your-self it generally isn’t permanent.
• When a friend drops by about din-ner time and you ask, “What brings you by here at this time?” You still have to ask him to stay for a bite to eat.
• Good friends are hard to find and harder to lose.
Most of us have a few good friends. Be thankful for them. Remember them during this magical time of year. If you can’t stop by to see them, call them on the phone or drop them an e-mail mes-sage.
Remember during this holiday sea-son that joy springs from the heart of those dedicated to caring and helping others. The Christmas spirit dwells inside each of us.
Merry Christmas.

The family Bible — Christmas Eve, 1986
By george nixon Shuler
Special to The Daily Union
New experiences excite me — that’s one reason I’m in the field I’m in.
Social work, or so it seems to me, is the opposite of the mundane and trivi-al. We get to see parts of society most people don’t know exist and shine the light there when we can.
People, even cops and ER nurses, always say, “I could never do your job!” What they don’t understand is that’s not exactly a compliment to them-selves.
A lot of loudmouths these days think if people are poor, it’s always their own fault. Uh-huh. But if people who grow up in material privilege, i.e., rich, turn out to be unpleasant wankers, well, they’re just under stress or something.
I’d like to pull on your coat about something here — got a little news I’d like to throw in your direction: you don’t have to go all the way to Darfur to see starving kids. Unless you’re in a compound off the grid, there’s proba-bly some within a mile of where you live or work.
How can that be, some will ask. After all, can’t they get food stamps? Maybe, maybe not. You have to have a valid identification to get public assistance,
and even then, it’s never enough to make it through the month.
Plus a ride to the office during work-ing hours, which is no small chore when you live in the hinterlands or off the bus route, and the only vehicle in the family is needed by the one who has a job.
Kate Millett once wrote about a teen-age girl who died of starvation in Cleve-land, based on the transcripts of the trial of the unrelated caregiver who killed her. The girl and her sister had been left with this woman by their father — their mother was out of the picture — who promised to pay her for looking after them but pretty much made himself scarce too after dropping them off.
One thing Millet found most remark-able was that in this entire house, there was not a single piece of silverware, of any kind.
“You can get a plastic spoon with a milkshake from a fast food place, wash it and use it again,” she suggested hopefully.
I’ve been inside houses like that. It’s hard to explain to those who don’t know people with vise grips applied to their minds. They all have families. The few you see wandering the streets may cut family ties, but there’s plenty more at home with kids who are one
phone call away from going into foster care.
In the social services community we see plenty of families which get on the radar of the authorities but their trou-bles don’t rise to those of households where kids have died from abuse or neglect. I was asked to help out one such family on the date in the title here mainly because I have a truck.
They were being evicted and moving to the homeless shelter. It was depress-ing. A neighbor helped me load their meager belongings in garbage bags into the back of my truck.
They did however have an big, ornate family Bible — probably got it at a thrift store or from a door to door sales-man. The son in the family put it on my rear bumper while we were loading something else. There we forgot it.
But some six miles and three free-ways later when we got to the shelter it was still there. To us and the shelter staff it was a Christmas miracle.
Or maybe I’m just so steady a driver, the physics of the movement of the truck in traffic just kept it there. Yeah, right. Ask my wife the next time I run over curbs or miss hitting other cars by six inches.

Dear Annie: You often print letters from older par-ents dealing with rejection from their adult children.
This is literally an epidem-ic everywhere.
Anger and hatred are destroying families.
My husband and I have three adult children who were the delight of our lives.
We had a typical loving family, with vacations, birth-day parties and special cele-brations that included friends and extended family.
We had anxious times dur-ing illnesses, surgeries and accidents, but we made it through.
All three of our children have grown to be successful, well-liked and respected adults.
Sadly, over the past 22 years, they all have chosen to shut us out of their lives.
We’ve had minor disagree-ments at times, but never any major battles that might justify their choices.
None of them will tell us why they are angry.
They refuse to have any contact or open dialog that might heal our relationship. I know you’re probably thinking “there must be something.” If so, we don’t know what it is.
My husband is 81, and I am 78.
We understand there is a real possibility that we will never hear from our children before we die.
We do our best to focus on the great times we had and to hold onto the many precious memories of their growing-up years.
Holidays are the hardest, but with God’s help, we make it through.
We have forgiven our chil-dren and will always pray for them.
We will always thank God for choosing us to be their parents. — Joining the Let-ting Go Club
Dear Joining: Your letter is heartbreaking.
When children are brought up by loving parents, we don’t know why some remain close and others do not.
The same fire that melts butter will forge steel.
If you have any family members who are in touch with your children, perhaps they could help you under-stand what is going on and even intercede on your behalf.
In the meantime, you are wise to accept what you can-not change and compassion-ate to forgive those who have hurt you.
Dear Annie: I’m a little late sending out my Christ-mas cards, but I hope to have them all done before the holi-day season is over.
What is the proper eti-quette when writing Christ-mas cards to families with children over 18 still living at home?
Can I send one card to
them all, or do I need to send the kids their own? — Hur-rying Before the New Year
Dear Hurrying: It is per-fectly OK to send one holiday card to the entire family if they are all living in the same house, although it would be nice to put all of their names on the envelope.
Dear Annie: “Speaking for Another Lost Veteran” said her 55-year-old bipolar niece is hanging onto her stepfather’s ashes instead of allowing him to be buried next to his late wife in a mili-tary cemetery.
When we knew that my late husband was dying, he said he would like his ashes to be scattered on the ocean.
I was heartbroken because I wanted to be buried with him.
And being a Vietnam vet-eran, he deserved a military funeral with full honors.
When he died, the funeral director placed some of his ashes in three tiny urns, one for each of his grown chil-dren and one for me.
The remainder was divid-ed in half.
One half was buried at a national cemetery with full honors, and the other half was placed in a container made for scattering ashes at sea.
Our family set it afloat on the ocean that had given him so much joy through the years.
In this way, I believe I sat-isfied everyone’s wishes, most of all, his. — Found a Loving Solution
Dear Found: Thank you for a sympathetic compro-mise.
Happy Kwanzaa to all of our readers.

ARIES (March 21—April 19). When desire is fed, the inner animal is satisfied —but not the greedy human mind, which, once sated, only develops bigger appetites. You’ll have to convince the oth-ers to relax and be reasonable, and they may not listen.
TAURUS (April 20—May 20). You really can boost your immune system by think-ing positive thoughts. But first you have to neutralize the negativity being offered up by your critical inner voice. It’s as easy as saying “shhh...”
GEMINI (May 21—June 21). You don’t know enough to tackle the project you’re considering, but that’s not a good enough reason to pass on it. You’ll learn. You always do. In fact, you can’t help yourself. You prefer to be constantly learning.
CANCER (June 22—July 22). If you expend extraordinary energy doing a seemingly ordinary thing, you’ll elevate this aspect of daily life to the realm of “art form.” This is the key to good living these days.
LEO (July 23—Aug. 22). Instinct has led you to your current pursuit. You’ll wake up ready to focus on a fresh initiative, though you may not know until after you get to work the significance of what you’re doing.
VIRGO (Aug. 23—Sept. 22). You have helpers and advisers, but ultimately you’re the one who will bring a grand plan to fruition. You are tuned in to everyone and everything that can lead to your suc-cess.
LIBRA (Sept. 23—Oct. 23). You may not be able to remove the forces that oppose you, but once you accept that you are better for having to contend with them, you will start to see the unique advantages of your position.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24—Nov. 21). Your encouragement is potent, and those you cheer for will be moved to act confidently and accomplish what they didn’t think they could. Use some of that supportive-ness on yourself.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22—Dec. 21). Look deeper into the things that intrigue and fascinate you. There’s a reason you are so mysteriously drawn by these pur-suits, and they will connect you to good fortune.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22—Jan. 19). You’re a cosmic favorite these days, so be sure to want things for yourself and for others. Why not be greedy for love, goodness and health? One of your minor but very fond wishes will come true.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20—Feb. 18). Despite an absence of obvious constraint, imped-iment or interference, you still may feel that you’re not entirely free. Consider exactly why you don’t feel at liberty to say and do as you wish, and you’ll be closer to freedom.
PISCES (Feb. 19—March 20). Get focused, and you’ll be astounded at what you can accomplish. With unflagging energy, you’ll tackle the primary things you wanted to get finished before the end of the year.

“One thing that really impressed me is that I saw a revival happening in Haiti,” Williams said. “It was just a blessing being over there and seeing peo-ple rejoicing in the lord,” Williams said.
During the trip, Wil-liams also visited grade schools, an orphanage and a seminary campus.
The daily seminars and camp meetings included biblical teaching, prayer, Bible study and training workshops.
Along with other pas-
tors, Williams is working to establish a program to help Haitian leaders eliminate corruption and become more righteous.
The highlight of Wil-liams’ trip was meeting with youth. More than 200 children received Christmas boxes, filled with gifts. “Emotionally, it humbled me,” Williams said about the Haitians with determination, despite their challenges.
Williams said Ameri-cans have so much, but yet things are taken for granted. “America has been blessed by God and we should not take the blessings for granted,” Williams said.

Co-owner Rob Dudley said because Gatherings sells many holiday and seasonal items, business likely won’t pick up again until they start stocking new items.
“We get really deplet-ed,” Dudley said of the store’s shelves before the holidays.
Even shoppers who receive gift cards from Gatherings typically don’t show up immedi-ately after Christmas.
“We usually don’t see the redemption starting until 60 days,” Dudley said.

Wichita State joins top 10 for 1st time
since 2006Wichita State, which beat Ala-
bama and North Carolina Central last week, moved up one place in The Associated Press college bas-ketball poll, cracking the top 10 for the first time since 2006.
The Shockers (12-0) were ranked No. 8 for consecutive weeks in late December 2006 but a visit to Las Vegas ended that run.
Losses to New Mexico and Southern California in the Las Vegas Classic dropped the Shock-ers to No. 16 and a third straight loss — Northern Iowa at home — had them out of the Top 25 for the rest of the season.
The No. 8 ranking is still Wich-ita State’s highest since being No. 2 for one week in late December 1981.
The Shockers reached the Final Four last season but were ranked for just five weeks with the high-est being 15th for one week in January.

Judge in Hernandez case weighs gag
orderA Massachusetts judge may
impose a formal gag order in the murder case against former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez after his attorneys accused the state of allowing leaks that jeop-ardize his right to a fair trial.
The defense said at a Fall River Superior Court hearing that the prosecution has allowed out-of-court statements about the case. They say Hernandez is entitled to a fair trial before a jury that hasn’t been “poisoned” by prejudicial information.
Prosecutors deny the allega-tions and say no leaks have come from the investigative team.
The two sides agree in princi-ple on a gag order, but the judge asked them both to submit spe-cific proposals.
Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to murder in the June shooting death of Odin Lloyd, a 27-year-old semi-professional football player.

Chiefs’ Reid could rest starters against ChargersBy Dave Skretta
Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The dilemma that faces Chiefs coach Andy Reid this week is not an unfamiliar one. In fact, several times during his 14-year tenure in Philadelphia he faced a sim-ilar situation.
Play his starters or sit them? Rest or let them roll?
Kansas City is assured of the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoffs, which means it will head on the road for a wild-card game in two weeks. That also means the Chiefs are playing a game Sunday at San Diego that is virtually meaningless for them, at
least in terms of seeding and matchups.
If history is any indica-tion, get ready to see Alex Smith and Jamaal Charles spend a whole lot of time on the sideline. Same with the Chiefs’ other key players.
“If you look at the history of it, it’s about a 50-50 shot over the last three or four years of people who have done it,” Reid said Monday. “It’s what you’re most com-fortable with as a coach.
“The obvious benefit is you rest your guys,” Reid explained. “You kind of get back a little fresher than what they were at the end of the season. You take a risk of the timing part of it. So
those are the things that you have to evaluate.”
While the game doesn’t matter much for Kansas City, it means a lot for the Chargers. San Diego can still slip into the playoffs with a victory and losses by the Dolphins and Ravens.
“The Chargers won’t play like it’s an exhibition game,” Chiefs offensive guard Geoff Schwartz said. “I promise you we’ll be ready to play.”
With whoever might be on the field in San Diego.
“Man, I don’t have noth-ing to do with it,” Charles said when asked whether he wants to play or rest. “We still want to win. We’ve got Charlie Riedel • The Associated Press

MANHATTAN — The seniors on the Kansas State football team (7-5) have experi-enced many peaks since they arrived on campus. Perhaps, the most impressive accomplishment is qualifying for a bowl game in each sea-son.
But despite the appearances in illustrious bowl games and a c o n f e r e n c e championship, a bowl victory has proved illusive to the group.
The seniors’ chance of finally van-quishing the final foe i m p r o v e d when Kansas State coach Bill Snyder announced at the pre-bowl press conference he expects senior safety and captain Ty Zimmerman to play in the Buf-falo Wild Wings bowl game against Michigan (7-5) on Dec. 28.
Zimmerman sat out Kansas State’s final two contests after suffering a leg injury against TCU on Nov. 16.
“I want him to be able to play and play next to Ty in my last game, especially after all we’ve been through in camp and through the season,” senior linebacker Blake Slaughter said. “He’s a really great per-
son and a really good friend and guy. Obviously I want him to play.”
The Junction City native stepped into the starting lineup his freshman season, and since has entrenched himself as the brains of the defense.
Zimmerman has earned postseason honors annually for his play, including being named a fourth team All-Amer-ican and first team All-Big 12 safety by Phil Steele for the 2013 season.
While he might not be the fastest player on the field, he’s found success by placing him-self in the right position at the right time.
Slaughter called Zimmer-man an “intelligent player.”
“He’s just able to get himself in situations where he can be successful,” he said “There’s nothing that guy doesn’t pick up, there’s nothing that guy doesn’t see. He’s always men-tally in the game, prepared for the game and that comes out on the field.”
Even more important is the effect his presence has on his teammates.
As the safety, Zimmerman is required to place the other defensive backs on the field in the right position each play based on what he sees from the offense.
“He’s very smart, he makes the right calls,” senior line-backer Tre Walker said. “He keeps the defensive backs very calm. As a defensive back

Gonzalez recalls when life changed at CandlestickBy Janie Mccauley
Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Tony Gonzalez had more on his mind than just his final game at Candlestick Park, or all of the family and friends making the trip from Southern California.
On Monday night, the Atlanta Fal-cons’ veteran tight end remembered a chance meeting with a man named Mickey Pfleger.
Among the retiring star’s fondest memories of Candlestick Park is some-thing that, at the time 13 years ago, was downright terrifying.
On Nov. 12, 2000, while playing for the Kansas City Chiefs, Gonzalez took a late hit out of bounds and ran into a photographer and knocked him uncon-scious.
“I remember a play coming toward me rather quickly along the southwest sideline,” wrote Pfleger, who died three years ago. “I remember standing up and starting to move backward to get out of the way, like I always do when a play comes toward me. That’s the last thing I remember until I came to and realize that I am laying on my back looking at paramedics and doctors.”
Gonzalez was concerned, but had to keep playing.
“His eyes were in the back of his head,” Gonzalez recalled. “He was knocked out, unconscious. I tried to help him up, but people were like, ‘Hey, get back in the huddle.”’
Gonzalez later saw the ambulance take the man away for further tests at a local hospital. But it wasn’t until three days later that he learned Pfleger’s brain scan had revealed a significant tumor that was cancerous.
Pfleger referred to himself as the “luckiest person in the world” after that, given he would not have known as soon about the cancer had Gonzalez not clobbered him that afternoon. Pfleger wound up living 10 more years before his death on Dec. 17, 2010, at age 61.
“The strangest thing that ever hap-pened to me in football happened at Candlestick,” Gonzalez said. “I hear after the game he’ll be OK. I was happy about that. But three or four days later, they said: ‘Hey, you know what hap-pened to that guy? They did a brain scan and found a tumor in his brain and they would have never found this tumor if you didn’t hit him. It was a miracle it turned out this way.”
After that, Gonzalez met Pfleger a couple of times and they would give hugs each time they saw each other.

you’ve got to stay calm no matter what.
“What we say is you have to catch amnesia if some-thing goes wrong and he does that and he’s back there and he gives us that great urge that every defense needs.”
Zimmerman sits tied for third all-time for career interceptions at Kansas State with 13. He is two interceptions away from tying Jaime Mendez for first in K-State history.
While his teammates always are quick to point out his intelligence, Zim-merman demonstrated his athleticism by returning two of his three intercep-tions for touchdowns this season.
Snyder said if he were a player on the team, he’d feel awfully good about having Zimmerman return to the field.
The Wildcats face a dan-gerous Michigan team that took a then-undefeated and No. 3 ranked Ohio State team to the wire in its last game on Nov. 30.
The return of an all-American to the secondary is an emotional and physical boost for K-State as it tries to end its five-game bowl losing streak.
Junior defensive end Ryan Mueller said the bowl losing streak needs to end.
“We want to change that feeling at the end of the games — defeat,” he said. “We want to know what it’s like to go in there as cham-pions, not the other way around.”
ZimmermanContinued from Page 1BPressure got to some playoff contenders
By Barry Wilner
Associated Press
Playoff berths within sight, Miami, Chica-go, Green Bay and even Super Bowl champion Baltimore succumbed to the pressure. Things will be even tighter next week in their season finales.
Maybe those four teams chasing division titles or wild-card berths need to emulate the Eagles and Cardinals, Bengals and Chargers, who made definitive and positive statements Sunday.
Of course, they could go the other way in their finales and replicate the recent perfor-mances of the Lions, who completely folded when the squeeze was put on them.
One of the beneficiaries of Detroit’s flop, which concluded with a 23-20 overtime loss at home to the already-eliminated Giants, was Chicago. And after the Packers looked lost in the red zone in their home defeat against Pittsburgh — Green Bay went only 4-3-1 at Lambeau Field this season — the Bears had the NFC North in their hands if they could win in Philadelphia at night.
They didn’t show up.“Yeah the season is full of disappointments
— that is part of the adversity of the season,” coach Marc Trestman said. “We are not happy about it, we are extremely disappointed. But then that has to go away and we have to re-energize ourselves. We have a very important game on Sunday (against Green Bay for the division title).”
The Bears figure to show up for that one at Soldier Field, as do the Packers in the oldest rivalry in pro football. Teams that lay eggs in big spots and still have another opportunity tend to seize those chances. Or at least pro-vide a challenge the next time.
Well, except for Detroit, that is.“Nobody can quit because we are all made
the same way and our goal is to get in the playoffs,” Bears defensive end Jeremiah Rat-liff said. “We needed to win this game and I want to get back to work and get the next win in our next game. You can beat yourself up and get in a funk or you can forget about the
game.”Every NFL player is under some kind of
pressure in every game. That ranges from simply trying to win on each play to having more points at the end of the day to holding onto a job.
That stress intensifies immeasurably dur-ing a playoff chase. The Tom Bradys, Ray Lewises and Adam Vinatieri’s either ignore the pressure or embrace it and perform even better.
Those guys are rare. And what we saw this weekend magnifies the difference between Hall of Fame caliber players and those who struggle when tested in the cauldron of play-off contention.
More exams are coming on Sunday, with Philadelphia at Dallas for the NFC East title; the Green Bay-Chicago matchup; and the wild four-team scramble for the final AFC wild card.
For the last five years, the Ravens have passed inspection with flying colors; they’ve never missed the postseason with John Har-baugh as coach and Joe Flacco as quarter-back. So their collapse at home against a banged-up Patriots team against whom they have plenty of recent success was the most stunning.
Yet the Ravens, even with Lewis in retire-ment, Anquan Boldin in San Francisco, Ed Reed in New York and a slew of other Super Bowl champions from February spread around the league, remain the most trustwor-thy to come through.
“You know, we’re used to going out there and playing well when we need to when the playoffs are on the line,” said Flacco, who threw two interceptions and looked uncom-fortable on a damaged left knee sporting a brace. “We come out hungry and ready to go get ourselves into the playoffs or make that next step toward it, and we just didn’t do it.”
They get one more chance, as do the Dol-phins at home against the Jets; the Chargers at home against Kansas City; and Pittsburgh at home against Cleveland in the AFC wild-
card race.If any team is most familiar with folding in
win or go home games, it’s Dallas. Hey, the Cowboys nearly disappeared from the chase at Washington on Sunday, rallying from nine points down to stay alive. But having confi-dence in them to knock off Philly, especially after failing in the same spot the last two years?
“The more times you put yourself in these situations, you have to keep getting better,” Tony Romo said. “You have to have a stronger belief in yourself than the doubt of other people.”

Steelers somehow still alive for spot in playoffsBy Will Graves
Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — The math remains tricky. The circumstances remain less than ideal.
And yet, the Pittsburgh Steelers are still alive for the playoffs entering the final week of the season. The same team that started 0-4. The same team that appeared in need of a fran-chise-wide overhaul after a 55-31 pounding in New Eng-land that dropped the Steel-ers to 2-6 in late-October. The same team that let Miami score 34 points in the snow two weeks ago.
Yep, that’s the team that can say the word postsea-son with a straight face after a frantic 38-31 win at Green Bay on Sunday.
“Isn’t that crazy?” defen-sive end Brett Keisel said. “We still are breathing and we’re going to continue to fight. We’ve got one more that we’ve got to win to even have a shot and that will be our focus.”
Well, that and the score-board. The Steelers (7-8) need to beat the fading Browns (4-11) next weekend and hope Miami, Baltimore and San Diego — all 8-7 — lose. It would create a five-way tie for the final wild card spot that would some-how end with Pittsburgh traveling to Cincinnati to face the AFC North Ben-gals for the third time this season.
As improbable as it seems, Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin likes his chances. Last he checked, a slim shot was better than no shot at all.
“We’ve made this bed,” Tomlin said Monday. “I like the way the group is laying in it.”
The Steelers have won two straight and are 7-4 since Oct. 1, the same mark over that span as playoff-bound Indianapolis, Kan-sas City and New England. Despite the surge, quarter-back Ben Roethlisberger is reluctant to get too involved in the way the dominoes would have to fall for Pitts-burgh to play into January.
“I don’t even know what the scenario is,” Roethlis-berger said. “But I’m sure it’s still crazy.”
Nearly as crazy as nearly four hours of insanity at
wintry Lambeau Field in a victory that included mas-sive momentum swings, a rarely seen penalty on a batted ball, a perfectly exe-cuted fake punt and one last stand by a couple of veterans who are in the twi-lights of their career.
Yet when Matt Flynn’s last-second pass fell incom-plete, Pittsburgh hopped the plane home with a puncher’s chance.
“This team just keeps fighting,” running back Le’Veon Bell said. “We fal-tered a bit at the beginning of the season, but guys are really fighting, trying to get into the playoffs.”
Even if they don’t make it, the Steelers hardly look like the sad sack that was woefully overmatched when it was whipped by the Patriots. Pittsburgh forced a pair of turnovers and con-verted both into touch-downs. Bell shook off a fumble and ran for a career-high 124 yards and the win-ning score with 1:25 to go.
It’s a touchdown that came after the 35-year-old Keisel — playing for only the second time in the last six weeks due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot — jumped on a loose ball deep in Green Bay territory after safety Troy Polamalu jarred it loose from a scrambling Flynn.
Thanks to an offsides penalty on a field goal attempt that eventually pushed the ball to the Green
Bay 1, Bell strolled into the end zone as the Packers intentionally put up little resistance.
Green Bay’s goal was to preserve enough time on the clock to try and drive back down the field and knot the game again rather than let Pittsburgh milk the clock and kick a short field goal at the end.
Though the Packers nearly pulled it off, Tomlin defended his decision again on Monday.
“Obviously, there are a lot of options and I’m sure that they had options in terms of how they could have finished the game,” Tomlin said. “All of that is good armchair quarterback Monday stuff. We did what we had to do to win the foot-ball game.”
Win one more and the Steelers avoid the fran-chise’s first losing season in a decade. Get help from the Bengals, the New York Jets and the Kansas City Chiefs, and a season filled that looked done two months ago becomes some-thing considerably more interesting.
“Yeah, I feel like right now we are starting to come into our own, which you want,” wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders said. “We still have a shot at making the playoffs if things go in our favor next week, so we are optimistic about that.”

one more game to play before the playoffs.”
Another factor for Reid to con-sider is players who’ve been injured.
While it’s unlikely that line-backer Tamba Hali will play after he experienced swelling in his knee in a 23-7 loss to Indianapolis on Sunday, two other players — left tackle Branden Albert and linebacker Justin Houston — could be ready to go for the first time in weeks.
Might it be a good idea to get them into the game to knock off some rust?
“I’ll try to look at everything,” Reid said. “I always try to look at everything, evaluate it and try to come up with what is right for this team.”
Reid may claim that he’s done it “both ways,” playing guys and resting them, but a look at his time in Philadelphia reveals that on four occasions when the Eagles had nothing to gain before the playoffs — a better seed, home-field advantage — their big names mostly took a seat.
The final week of the 2001 sea-son, the Eagles had clinched the NFC East and were assured of playing Tampa Bay the following week. Seven regulars were inac-tive, five others didn’t start, and quarterback Donovan McNabb appeared for two plays.
Philadelphia wound up reach-ing the NFC championship game, losing at St. Louis.
Three years later, the Eagles started 13-1 and had nothing to play for the final two weeks of the season. Reid had the starters play just one series in a Monday night loss to the Rams and had most of them take off the finale, a 38-10 rout by Cincinnati.
The Eagles sure didn’t look rusty in reaching the Super Bowl, where they lost to New England.
On the final weekend of 2006, the Eagles clinched the NFC East a few minutes into their game against Atlanta when Dallas lost to Detroit. Reid promptly pulled most of his starters to keep them healthy for a first-round matchup against the Giants.
The Eagles beat New York
before losing in the divisional round at New Orleans.
Prior to his final trip to the playoffs with Philadelphia, Reid again rested most of his big names in Week 17 against Dallas, and said afterward “it was the right thing for us to do.”
Green Bay beat the Eagles the following week in a wild-card game.
“I appreciate you doing your homework. I do,” Reid said, smil-ing. “The one thing I did then and I’ll do now is take the time I have to evaluate it, and make sure I do what I think is right. This is one of those decisions you make, it’s a bit of a gut feeling you go with.”

Jose Sanchez • The Associated PressKansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid greets running back Jamaal Charles on the sideline during the second quarter against the Oakland Raiders in Oakland, Calif., Dec. 15.
The 37-year-old Gonzalez has only played at Candle-stick a handful of times during a decorated 17-year career that began colle-giately at Cal in nearby Berkeley.
“I was supposed to be knocked out by Tony Gon-zalez at the football game,” Pfleger wrote in 2001 for a sports photography resource website. “I was supposed to go into a sei-zure while I was uncon-scious, so that Dr. Klint of the 49ers would tell the paramedics to tell the emer-gency room doctors to do a CT brain scan on me. I was supposed to be taken to San
Francisco General Hospital and land in the hands of Dr. Martin Holland, an incredi-bly talented neurosurgeon.
“I was never supposed to get hurt from the ‘hit’ by Tony Gonzalez.”
Gonzalez won’t argue that.
“It’s just strange how the universe works and makes things happen like that,” Gonzalez said. “I believe in a higher power. Some peo-ple out there don’t. But I definitely think something was at work there — a late hit and then running into this guy and being able to find that tumor in him? That’s something that stands out as the strangest thing that ever happened to me in football.
“It’s a great story.”
