AP White House Correspondent

WASHINGTON If President Barack Obamas new focus on the economy sounds familiar, thats because hes done it before.

Since the first year of his presidency, Obama has been launching and re-launching ini-tiatives on the economy. Some came with new policy proposals, others with catchy slogans.

Remember 2011s Winning the Future campaign? Or the We Cant Wait initiatives that followed later that year? Just a few months ago, Obama was headlining the Middle Class Jobs and Opportunity Tour.

So far theres no slogan attached to

the White Houses latest initiative, which kicks off Wednesday in Gales-burg, Ill. The presidents advisers are billing his remarks as a major address on the economy, though no new initia-tives are expected to be announced. However, aides say there will be some fresh policy proposals in a series of fol-low-up speeches planned through Sep-tember, most of which will be narrowly targeted on issues like housing, retire-ment security and expanding access to education.

White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obamas repeated attempts to ori-ent his public agenda on the economy should serve as a reminder that the president has always been focused on these issues.

That doesnt mean we dont need to continue to remind people that improv-ing the economic situation in America is the principle reason why our fellow

Obamas economic push has familiar feel

Fond memories and some laughter filled Saint Francis Xavier Catholic Parish in Junction City Monday morning during a funeral for retired Lt. Gen. Richard Dick Seitz.

The atmosphere to honor Seitz was fitting for a man remembered by those who spoke during the service as one who cele-brated life and so readily shared with others what he could offer.

Dick was an exceptional per-son, retired Col. John Seitz said of his uncle and best friend. Everyone he touched benefitted by his hand.

Many of those whose lives Dick Seitz touched attended the funeral, including Army colleagues, government officials, loved ones and community members.

Seitz died the morning of June 8 at his home. He was 95 years old.

About 300 people gathered inside the church to honor the man respected in the Junction City community as a leader, hero and role model.

During his homily, the Rev. Al Brun-gardt described Seitz as a man for all seasons.

Were not just talking the weather sea-sons, Brun-gardt said. Were talking about experi-encing all aspects of life.

B r u n g a r d t recalled seeing

Seitz for 5:15 p.m. mass every Saturday night. He said Seitz always would sit in the fourth pew from the back.

Local property owners may soon have to pay a little more for Geary County services.

Geary County Commission Chair Ben Bennett report-ed the tax rate may increase by one to five mills, based on different scenarios with the budget. However specif-ics of those scenarios are not being released yet.

We just dont know yet, Bennett said about the increase. Nobody is going to like that, including us. I dont want to increase my own taxes, but sometimes we have no choice, unless we want to cut out a lot of things.

The possible increase is due to cutbacks from the state.

The only place we have to go is property tax, Ben-nett said. It keeps going up and up and people are get-ting sick of it.

To prevent the mill levy from rising, Bennett said the cuts would have to be big time.

Theres no decrease at this point, but we havent

CorrectionA story published Thursday in The Daily Union about the debated sani-

tary sewer system extension on McFarland Road incorrectly stated the areas annexation date. It was annexed in the early 1990s.

MANHATTAN A Kan-sas State University researcher is examining why Hispanic immigration has become more common in rural areas and how His-panic immigrants have adapted in these places, particularly southwest Kansas.

Matthew Sanderson, associate professor of soci-ology who studies interna-tional migration, is com-pleting a study on Hispanic immigrants living in the Kansas towns of Garden City, Liberal and Ulysses a region often called a new destination because its a relatively new gate-way for immigration into the U.S.

The study looks at the characteristics of the peo-

ple immigrating to these towns; whats motivating them to move to these Kan-sas towns rather than larg-er, metropolitan cities; what opportunities this region offers immigrants; and whether study participants have achieved upward mobility in their communi-ty and in the workforce.

Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Houston and Miami are the five key gate-ways where more than 70 percent of Hispanic and Latino immigration in the U.S. has historically been directed, Sanderson said. In the early 1980s and especially the 1990s, how-ever, we saw those gateways decline in importance while new rural destinations like southwest Kansas and

other rural places in states like North Carolina and Georgia experienced very large increases in Hispanic immigration. This was quite surprising.

According to Sanderson, the unexpected rise of rural destinations has interested social scientists, who are trying to understand why this happened in so many places at the same time as well as how immigrants fare in these new locations.

In summer 2012, Sander-son led a student group that conducted interviews with more than 140 self-identi-fied Hispanic or Latino and Latina immigrants primar-ily living in Garden City. All the interviewees were foreign born, between the ages of 18 to 65, and had

work experience in the U.S. and their country of ori-gin.

Participants gave basic demographic information, their work history in their country of origin and in the U.S., and their perceptions of their lives in Garden City and their futures.

Seventy percent came to Garden City for a job, often in a meatpacking plant, while 30 percent said they came because of family in the area. Eighty-two per-cent were from Mexico; 11 percent were from El Salva-dor; 4 percent were from Guatemala; and a few were from Honduras, Peru and Cuba.

The majority came from only three states in Mexi-co: Chihuahua, Durango

and Michoacan.Migration is not a ran-

dom event, but rather some-thing thats highly chan-neled and geographically specific, Sanderson said. Jobs attract immigrants to specific places, networks of people get them set up, information about things like jobs and housing gets sent back home, and then a cycle begins that perpetu-ates out-migration from specific places in Mexico, for example, to a place like Garden City. Several vil-lages in Mexico have been depopulated this way.

After adjusting for infla-tion, those interviewed made on average about $1,800 a month at their first job in the U.S., compared to about $600 a month at their

last job in Mexico a big incentive to migrate to the U.S., Sanderson said. A large number of partici-pants, however, said they also experienced job status downgrading from their prior occupation as a den-tist, doctor or minister in their country of origin.

Data also was collected about social interactions at work and in the community with non-Hispanics. Sand-erson found that outside of work, there was very little cross-culture interaction.

Work environments like meatpacking plants tend to be very multicultural, but that does not seem to have translated into a thriving multicultural community, Sanderson said.

1st Bn., 63rd Armor Regt., 2nd ABCT

CAMP LEMONNIER, Djibouti Soldiers with the 1st Battalion, 63rd Armor Regiment, 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Divi-sion, conducted a transfer of authority ceremony in late June, symbolizing the beginning of their tour of duty to support Camp Lem-onnier and the Combined Joint Task Force Horn of Africa.

The first wave of soldiers arrived more than a month ago, and, throughout June, their numbers grew dra-matically as the remainder of the battalion arrived and took responsibility for the mission from the 2nd Battalion, 138th Field Artil-lery Regiment, Kentucky National Guard.

Today is the anniversa-ry of Americas 1st Infan-try Divisions landing in the French port of Saint-Nazaire for participation in World War I, said Lt. Col. Jason A. Wolter, com-mander, 1st Bn., 63rd Armor Regt. Some 96 years later, I have the honor of sharing with you the characteristics of another group of forward-deployed and forward-focused 1st Division Sol-

diers that are joining the HOA team.

The ceremony signified the Dragon Battalion had completed all of the tasks required to relieve the Longrifle Battalion, and that Wolter now has mis-sion command.

Prior to that date, Sol-diers with 1st Bn., 63rd Armor Regt. received on-the-job training on the multitude of tasks they would be executing during their deployment and got a glimpse of what to expect

during their tenure at Camp Lemonnier. During the ceremony, Wolter brief-ly touched on what he said he hopes the battalion will accomplish during its deployment.

Three of the areas the battalion will be focusing on are force protection, military-to-military train-ing with allies in the region and leader development. All of the programs are up and running.

The battalion has initi-ated and completed several

force-protection missions.Since arriving, the bat-

talion has started looking for ways to develop and improve the procedures already in place.

Additionally, throughout the deployment, Soldiers will have the opportunity to train with numerous partner nations. Military-to-military training is designed to share best practices and lessons learned across militaries from partner nations, which may take what they

have learned home.The Dragon Battalion

has already started work-ing with Japanese, French and Djiboutian forces. Future activities are planned for the coming months with other militar-ies in the region.

Being in Africa pres-ents a unique opportunity, where Soldiers can focus on their training objectives and building rapport with our partner nations with-out being distracted by the day-to-day business that comes up in garrison, said Capt. David Grindle, opera-tions officer, 1st Bn., 63rd Armor Regt.

Soldiers also will be working on Soldier skills at the individual and team levels.

Some training will focus on maintaining skills of some of the non-infantry specialties within the bat-talion. Medics, communi-cations specialists, forward observers, mortar teams and sniper teams will con-tinue to train in their spe-cialties while they are deployed.

To the HOA leadership and team, know that we are proud to join your ranks and with you will remain forward focused to continue the history of great accomplishments for this task force, Wolter said.

WASHINGTON In the first 200 years of the repub-lic, just three presidents survived more than two decades after leaving office John Adams, Martin Van Buren and Herbert Hoover. The odds for ex-presidents have improved consider-ably since then.

Jimmy Carter, who raised the bar for active post-pres-idential years, is 88 now, and 32 years out of office. No one has survived longer after leaving the White House. George H.W. Bush, 89, passed the two-decade mark this year. The two most recent former presi-dents, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, both are going strong. Gerald Ford lived nearly 30 years after leaving office.

Theres a lot happening in the ex-presidents club these days thanks to increasing longevity, the personalities of the current members and expanding opportunities for influence.

After a relatively quiet start to his post-presidency, George W. Bush in recent weeks has made headlines by speaking out for immi-gration reform and popping up in Africa at a wreath-laying with President Barack Obama to remem-ber victims of terrorism. Clinton, with his philan-thropic work and a wife whos a potential presiden-tial candidate, is never far from the news.

The elder Bush, although frail, was at the White House last week (in jaunty red-and-white striped socks) for a ceremony pro-moting the volunteerism program he started as pres-ident. And Carter, noted for his years of globe-trotting work to advance human rights, spoke out last week against legal bribery of candidates at home in the form of unchecked political contributions by outside groups.

Is all this activity the new model for ex-presidents? It turns out theyve got plenty of examples to draw on from earlier centuries.

Theres a whole class of people who leave the White House and continue to take a hyperactive role in Amer-ican life, says presidential historian Douglas Brinkley of Rice University. He points to Andrew Johnson, who was elected to the Sen-ate after a presidency that included impeachment; William Howard Taft, who became a Supreme Court justice; John Quincy Adams, who was an outspo-ken opponent of slavery as a member of the House; Theodore Roosevelt, who created the Bull Moose Party and tried to regain the presidency, and many more.

There is no rule of thumb, says Brinkley. Each man is just differ-ent.

For all their differences, though, recent chief execu-tives have tended to start their post-presidential years relatively quietly, taking time to regroup, to heal in some cases, and give the new guy space to oper-ate. They focus on raising money for their presiden-tial libraries/centers. They write memoirs. Their poll numbers improve as time passes and memories of hard-fought presidential battles soften.

Call that phase one. Bush, whose presidential

center in Dallas was dedi-cated in April and whose 2010 memoir, Decision Points, was a best-seller,

has seen his poll numbers rebound, and he seems to be entering phase two: He says he wants to make a dif-ference in the world, but steer clear of politics and avoid meddling in Obamas business.

His recent activities have demonstrated both the pos-sibilities and limitations of an ex-presidents influence.

Bushs presence in Africa during Obamas visit to the continent offered a remind-er of his efforts to fight HIV and AIDS there. But his entreaty to bring a benev-olent spirit to the debate over immigration reform seemed to have zero impact on House Republicans. GOP legislators said Bushs com-ments never even came up in their closed-door meet-ing about immigration on the day he spoke out.

We care what people back home say, not what some former president says, said Rep. Tim Huel-skamp, R-Kan.

Still, recent ex-presidents seem to be assuming a higher profile in public affairs and politics, says Thomas F. Schaller, a politi-cal scientist at the Univer-sity of Maryland-Baltimore County who has written a study of postmodern ex-presidents.

The opportunities are greater, says Schaller, pointing to the bigger role of electronic media, the glo-balization of politics and the tendency of ex-presi-dents to work more cooper-atively with one another and with the current occu-pant of the White House.

After Clinton and the elder Bush worked closely on humanitarian aid for victims of Hurricane Katrina and the tsunami in Indonesia, Clinton quipped, People began to joke that I was getting so close to the Bush family, I had become the black sheep son.

A number of earlier ex-presidents also played on the global stage but with a smaller megaphone.

Herbert Hoover, who lived nearly 32 years after

his presidency, traveled the world and took on signifi-cant relief efforts in Europe during and after World War II. He later served on government reform com-missions during the Tru-man and Eisenhower administrations, and declared he had outlived the bastards who blamed him for the Great Depres-sion, according to Schaller.

Brinkley says Carter, who left office with disas-trous job approval ratings, game-changed the ex-presidents role with his vigorous public policy activity and freelance diplomacy.

The joke is that Carter, who left office in 1981, used the presidency as a step-ping stone to his ex-presi-dency. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.

Clinton, with his founda-tion work, seems intent on following Carters model, although the two have had prickly relations over the years, in part because of Carters unbidden forays into diplomacy while Clin-ton was president and his criticism during the Moni-ca Lewinsky scandal.

Obama will exit the White House at age 54, some 15 years younger than when Ronald Reagan took office. Hell soon need to consider how his next act will play out over what most likely will be decades.

Who wants to think their better days are behind them when youre in your mid-50s? asks Brinkley. You try to say, How can I make a bigger impact? Youre seeing Clinton do that, and youll see George W. Bush do it, but in his own Texas-style way.

At his library dedication, the younger Bush related that Alexander Hamilton had once worried about ex-presidents wandering among the people like dis-contented ghosts.

Actually, he added, I think we seem pretty happy.

Syrian rebels capture key village near Aleppo cityBy Bassem mroue

Associated Press

BEIRUT Syrian rebels went on the offensive in Syrias north Monday, seiz-ing three villages and attacking a main supply road, trying to counter gov-ernment advances in recent weeks throughout the coun-try.

Mondays clashes near the northern city of Aleppo killed more than a dozen government soldiers, activ-ists said. The battle came a day after forces fighting for President Bashar Assad killed dozens of rebels near Damascus.

The battles showed that more than two years after it started, the Syrian civil war appears far from over, and neither side is showing signs of fatigue. According to the U.N., at least 93,000 people have been killed in the bloody conflict.

In another rebel attack Monday, two suicide bomb-ers from the al-Qaida-linked Jabhat al-Nusra blew up their cars in a military post and an army checkpoint in the town of Sukhna near the central city of Palmyra, killing and wounding large numbers of troops, accord-ing to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. It said war-planes bombed the town after the two blasts, caus-ing casualties among civil-ians.

The fighting in the north-ern province of Aleppo came a day after opposition fighters sustained some of their heaviest losses in months.

Government troops killed at least 75 rebels in and around the Syrian capital

on Sunday, the Observatory said.

The rebel capture of the strategic village of Khan al-Assal and two smaller villages was a rare victory in recent months.

Khan al-Assal has been a major front in the fight for Aleppo. In March, chemical weapons were allegedly used in the village, killing more than 30 people. The Syrian government and the rebels blame each other for the attack.

Opposition fighters on Monday took control of the villages on the southwest-ern outskirts of Aleppo, though clashes were still going on near Khan al-Assal. Inside Aleppo, air-strikes targeted several rebel-held districts, said the Observatory, an anti-regime activists group that relies on reports from activists on the ground.

The oppositions Aleppo Media Center said several rebel factions are taking part in the operation that aims to cut government supply lines to the south-ern areas of Aleppo prov-ince. The AMC said rebels cut the road, but the Obser-vatory said fighting was still in progress there.

Regime forces have been relying on the road to bring supplies and food to gov-ernment-controlled areas in the north after rebels cut the main highway between Damascus and Aleppo, Syr-ias largest city, last year.

The Observatory said 14 government troops were killed Monday in the fight-ing in Aleppo province.

Fighting also raged in Homs, Syrias third largest city, where the regime has been trying to oust rebels from the city center in an offensive that started in late June. Mondays clashes concentrated on the rebel-held Khaldiyeh district, the Observatory said.

Rockets fired by govern-ment troops on Khaldiyeh hit the historic Khalid Ibn al-Walid mosque, damaging the tomb of a revered fig-ure in Sunni Islam inside the mosque.

This is the first time they hit the tomb, said Homs-based activist who identified himself only as Abu Bilal for fear of gov-ernment reprisals. Ten rockets hit the mosque today, he said.

An amateur video posted online showed heavy dam-age in the mosque, includ-ing a hole in one of its nine domes. The fence around the tomb was blown away and debris was scattered all over the mosque.

The video appeared gen-uine and corresponded to other AP reporting on the events depicted.

Diplomatic efforts to solve the crisis sputtered

along on Monday.In Moscow, Syrian Depu-

ty Prime Minister Qadri Jamil told reporters after meeting Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov that they discussed a possi-ble Russian loan. Jamil did not give details. His com-ments came after the Syri-an pound hit a record low against the U.S. dollar, crossing the 300-pound line, compared with 47 pounds to the dollar at the start of the crisis 29 months ago.

I hope a decision on offering Syria another loan will be made by the years end, Jamil said.

Lavrov said the opposi-tion, including the Western-backed Syrian National Coalition, is showing no interest in peace talks to end the civil war, while the Syrian government has said it would take part.

To our great regret, unlike the government of Syria, a significant part of the opposition, including the National Coalition, arent showing such readi-ness, Lavrov said at the start of the talks. We are persistently and continu-ously asking our partners, who have a serious influ-ence with the National Coalition, to use it for posi-tive ends and persuade it to revise its current uncon-structive stance.

The opposition insists that Assad must step down as the first step in any dip-lomatic process. Assad insists he can run for presi-dent again next year.

Crowds line up to experience corpse

flower in D.C.associated Press

WASHINGTON Curi-ous crowds are experienc-ing the fleeting bloom of the unusual corpse flow-er.

The 8-foot flower bloomed Sunday at the U.S. Botanic Garden next to the Capitol. But by the time visitors lined up Monday morning, Plant Curator Bill McLaughlin says the incredible stench of rot-ting flesh the flower is famous for had cleared out. The plant is native to the tropical rainforests of Sumatra, Indonesia.

Experts had been antici-pating the bloom for more than a week, and it is now expected to collapse on itself. The gardens last corpse flower bloom was in 2007.

Gene Granados heard about the bloom on the news while on a family trip to Washington. While he expected it to be smellier, he says it was still worth visiting.

Another ViewBolstering your

brain against dementia

The following editorial appeared in the Chicago Tribune on Friday, July 19:

For years, the news about Alzheimers and other dementia-related illness has been unre-lentingly grim. We dont know many of the causes. We dont have a cure.

Researchers warned that the number of people with brain-robbing diseases would double in the next three decades as the baby boom generation aged. In other words, if you lived long enough, youd likely suffer from it.

Finally, however, good news: Dementia rates in England and Wales plunged by 25 percent over the past two decades, according to a recent study in The Lancet. Another recent study, from Denmark, found that people in their 90s now are mentally sharper than those who reached that age a decade ago.

Researchers suspect, but cant say for certain, that such trends are also afoot in the United States.

Tentative conclusion: That slide into dementia and Alzheimers with age may not be inevitable. New theory: Eating right, exercising and cutting out smoking is not only good for your heart and lungs ... it may also help forestall dementia.

Dr. Marsel Mesulam, director of the Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimers Disease Center at Northwestern University, told us these studies are very exciting. The field had become pretty depress-ing with the news that the older you get, the more you lose cognition to the point where this could become almost inevitable if you live long enough.

Heres what anyone bent on preserving his or her gray matter into advanced age needs to know: What you eat, how well you take care of your health, how much you exercise, could well make a difference.

Researchers say those who keep their blood pres-sure and cholesterol under control are likely to fare better, possibly because they avoid dementia that is caused by ministrokes and other vascular damage.

Education, too, is associated with lower dementia rates. Those with more education tend to fare better than those with less. (Another good reason to finish high school and go to college.) You dont need a Ph.D, says Dr. Dallas Anderson of the National Institute on Aging. But being better educated may guide choices you make over a lifetime that help shield you from dementia.

Make no mistake: Your lifestyle choices matter, and not just for dementia. Researchers reported last year in the New England Journal of Medicine on the impact of high cholesterol, blood pressure, smoking and diabetes on life expectancy. If you dont have any of those factors, your risk of dying of cardiovascular disease is amazingly low: 4.7 percent for men and 6.4 percent for women.

But if you have at least two of those factors, you have a much higher risk of heart disease or stroke.

Researchers have theorized that keeping the brain active via crossword puzzles, for instance would help prevent a mental slide. Some suggested brisk exercise or staying socially engaged helps. Diet? Vitamins? Drugs? So far, theres no strong evidence that any of these prevent dementia.

A sobering story in The New York Times says that some people can detect their slide into early memo-ry loss and dementia before doctors see symptoms or medical tests can detect anything amiss.

Before you panic, please remember our larger point: Following this health advice isnt a guarantee that youll be sharp into your 90s. But those who shrug about these things and say, its out of my hands, are wrong. The choices you make add healthy weeks, months or years of life, or chip away at them.

Once the brain goes downhill, it is hard to bring it back, Anderson told us. Hard to forget that.

Will trickle-down law work?We have a few months before the single biggest trickle-down law in recent memory hits Kan-sans.

You know trickle-down. Its when the Legislature passes and the governor signs into law a bill that will have neg-ligible effect on how the state does busi-ness, but requires local units of gov-ernment and schools to take action.

The trickle-down now is that state government has decided that any of the thousands of Kansans who have concealed-carry licenses can pack their guns wherever they go in the state into county courthouses, city halls, libraries, rural water district and town-ship buildings just about any build-ing built with taxpayer dollars. That means that those local units of govern-ment, which probably in the past month have downloaded and printed an offi-cial state no-guns poster, have until the end of the year to decide whether they are going to allow guns in their build-ings or provide enough security that they can reasonably assure the public that nobody but law enforcement will have guns in the building.

The thought behind the new law: People who will abide by no-guns signs arent safe if theres no checking to make sure everyone abides by the sign, because the bad guys likely wont. If a building has enough security to keep guns out, then fine. If not, then licensed concealed-carriers should be allowed to have their protection with them.

The trickle-down to local units of government: Can they afford to pay for this?

Most local governing bodies are going to have to do the math to figure out whether they can afford to make sure that gun-carriers are flagged at the front door and told to take their guns back to their cars, or just let them in.

Do city halls install those metal detectors in the hallway and staff them with police to make sure that nobody in the building has a gun? Or, will the agency pat-down visitors, so that those who dont carry guns can be sure they are in a gun-free building?

Now, be sure, that most days, it wont really matter. Those people who carry concealed guns arent going to cause a problem when they go in to pay their water or trash bills or license their dogs.

But what happens when, say, the city council is considering allowing a Wal-mart to be built in the town square or consider a stop sign that parents believe is important to their children who walk

to school? Or when the local property tax mill levy has to go up in order to pay police or gravel the county road?

Do people feel strongly enough about those issues that maybe, just maybe, they ought to attend the council meet-ing bare-handed?

At the Statehouse its a simple mat-ter of deciding whether in the building, which has security officers and walk-through metal detectors, a concealed-carry prohibition can be reasonably enforced.

Its not like that at the local library or city hall or most county courthous-es.

Thats where the new state philoso-phy that concealed-carry is a right, not a privilege, trickles down to local units, which will have to decide how much, or whether, to spend money on the ability to ban guns from public buildings.

Thats trickle-down. Gonna be inter-esting to see how those county commis-sions, libraries and small units of gov-ernment respond.

Junction City a great place to liveBy Norma Neal

Special to The Daily Union

In this time of turmoil in our coun-try perhaps we need to stress the positive. With all the negative things that are happening I feel the positive things are being overshadowed.

Junction City is filled with caring people. It is not hard to see the wonder-ful things that are happening around us. The kindness of people in Junction City is amazing. It is everywhere.

Recently, while eating breakfast with my husband and four of our friends, we struck up a conversation with a young couple at the next table.

They were both sitting on the same side of the table enjoying having break-fast with each other away from the rest of their family; a time to themselves, they shared with us. We discussed their military career and their future plans, their family, etc. We wished them well

as they left to go home to enjoy their family.

To our surprise, a short time later the waitress came to us, very emotion-al, with tears in her eyes, to tell us that all our meals had been paid by that young couple. We all agreed that we are so indebted to our military; we should have paid for their meals. Instead they were paying for six senior citizens meals. We didnt have the opportunity to thank them.

I love meeting new people. They all seem to have a story and such interest-ing lives. In Junction City we do not have a shortage of people to meet, as we seem to always have people coming and going through our lives.

Last week while checking out at the grocery store, a young man offered to pay for the item I was buying. It wasnt that he was in a hurry, as I had asked him to go ahead of me and he said he was in no hurry.

I didnt accept his generosity but his kindness was not forgotten. Im sure others have stories such as mine.

There is kindness everywhere, if you look for it. It may be someone holding the door open for you; letting you go ahead of them in line; letting you in a lane of traffic; or as little as greeting you with a smile and a hello.

As the saying goes, Kindness is the oil that takes the friction out of life. All of us should be guilty of being kind to one another.

All it takes is being more thoughtful of others and less self absorbed. It has been said, When God measures a man, He puts the tape around the heart instead of the head. A good thought to remember.

norMa neal loves Junction City and just wanted to let everyone know.

WICHITA A 67-year-old veteran convicted of possessing grenades at his Eureka apart-ment is scheduled to be sen-tenced in October.

A federal judge Friday set an Oct. 21 sentencing date for Alfred Dutton. A federal jury this week convicted Dutton of one count of unlawful possession of unregistered explosive devices.

Dutton faces up to 10 years in federal prison, although he is likely to get far less time under

sentencing guidelines.Prosecutors told jurors at his

trial in Wichita that Dutton added chemicals to gunpowder to increase the explosive power of the grenades he was making.

Man charged in killing to claim self

defenseTOPEKA A Topeka man

charged with shooting another man to death will claim self defense at his trial next month.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that the attorney for 22-year-old William Paul Span-gler discussed planned the self-

defense claim during a hearing Friday in Shawnee County Dis-trict Court.

Spangler is charged with pre-meditated first-degree murder in the March shooting death of 22-year-old Faustino Martinez of Wichita. Martinez was shot at an apartment building a short distance west of the State-house.

Spangler turned himself in to police less than seven hours after the shooting. Police said Spangler was seen leaving the apartment building and was possibly armed with a rifle.

FROM PAGE ONE/LOCAL NEWS

Lisa Seiser The Daily UnionMaj. Gen. Paul Funk (left) greets retired Gen. Don MacWillie (right) at Lt. Gen. Richard Seitzs funeral service at St. Xavier Catholic Church Monday morning. Funk and MacWillie were among many local military leaders and state and local officials who attended the service. Senators Jerry Moran and Pat Roberts also attended.

citizens elect and send peo-ple to Washington, Carney said.

But congressional Repub-licans, who continue to be a roadblock for many of the presidents economic pro-posals, dismissed the White Houses new public rela-tions push as a retread of old ideas.

Weve seen this song and dance before, said Brendan Buck, a spokes-man for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. Whether its his health care law, his job-destroying energy policies, or the mountain of regulations piling up, its the presi-dents own policies that are responsible for this new normal of weak economic growth and high unemploy-ment.

Still, the timing of Obamas latest economic initiative underscores the degree to which jobs and growth have been over-shadowed in Washington since the president began his second term.

Thats been driven in part by the White House, which has invested signifi-cant time on other areas of the presidents agenda, including the failed effort to enact stricter gun laws and the push for immigra-tion reform, which suc-ceeded in the Senate but faces an uncertain future in the House.

A series of foreign policy crises, like the Syrian civil war and Egyptian coup, have also competed for the White Houses attention.

So have a flurry of recent controversies, including the Internal Revenue Ser-vices targeting of political groups, the Justice Depart-ments seizure of journal-ists phone records, and renewed attention on the

investigation into the dead-ly attack on Americans in Benghazi, Libya.

All the while, the econo-my has slowly but steadily improved. The housing market is coming back, the stock market is on the rise and consumer confidence is near its highest levels of Obamas presidency. Nationwide unemployment is also falling, though at 7.6

percent, it still remains high.

But a new round of fiscal deadlines threaten to upend that progress, adding urgency to the White Houses desire to get the economy back on Washing-tons radar while at the same time trying to get the public to side with the pres-idents economic vision.

The potential fiscal show-

down in September will focus on the debt ceiling and the automatic federal budget cuts that kicked in earlier this year.

Obama wants to end the cuts before they extend into the next fiscal year.

And some Republicans want more deficit reduction in exchange for raising the nations borrowing limit, a

bargain Obama says he would not back.

Obamas aides say that while Wednesdays address and subsequent events will touch on the looming fiscal fights, they say they do not see the speech as a legisla-tive negotiating tactic.

Nor will the president lay out an economic to-do list for Congress, reflecting the

White Houses recognition that many of the presidents proposals would almost certainly face opposition on Capitol Hill, particularly in the Republican-led House.

And that dynamic, just like Obamas repeated eco-nomic PR campaigns, may again leave the public with a feeling that theyve been here before.

But before mass, Seitz would walk up the steps of St. Francis Xavier, greeting everyone, whether he knew them or not, recognizing the good-ness of others, Brungardt said.

It was clear, Brungardt said, that Seitz was a man who enjoyed life and wanted the same for others.

I think Gen. Seitz was one of those men who taught us how to live, he said.

To his own credit, Seitz led a sto-ried life.

For 35 years, Seitz dedicated his life to his country by serving in the United States Army. He commanded the 2nd Battalion, 517th Parachute

Infantry Regiment during World War II, the 82nd Airborne Division and the XVIII Airborne Corps. He retired in 1975 from Fort Bragg, N.C.

After retiring from the Army, Seitz settled in Junction City.

Seitz became an icon during his 38 years of retirement in Junction City. He demonstrated his love for the community by offering his own time and resources and participating in activities.

Richard Seitz shared with those in attendance how his father routinely was able to overcome the odds.

For example, many of the stories surrounding Dick Seitzs airborne career may never have happened, Richard said, had his father not found a way to have a letter sent from Washington, D.C., commanding

he not be transferred out of his unit before his career got off the ground.

Had he been transferred, Dick Seitz wouldnt have been the young-est battalion commander in World War II.

Our father could do anything, Richard said.

Later in life, as medical issues kept him from attending his routine com-munity events, Dick Seitz came to rely on his family and friends.

They were prepared, John Seitz said, to give back to the man who gave so much of himself to them and others.

He appreciated everything we did for him, John said. We all did it out of love.

SEitzContinued from Page 1A

really started to look at that, Ben-nett said.

Financial advisor Calvin Pottberg

reported that one mill is worth more than $226,000.

It takes a lot of cuts to even cut one mill out of the budget as we look at it, Pottberg said.

For 2013, the mill rate is 52.36. The mill levy is the tax rate applied

to the assessed value. One mill is one

dollar per $1,000 of assessed valua-tion of a property.

A budget hearing is scheduled for Aug. 19. County officials want to have budget figures in place by Aug.5.

We have to do a lot of work right now, Bennett said.

Unemployment in Geary County continues to climb.

While the Kansass unemployment rate of 5.8 percent didnt change from May to June, Geary Coun-tys rate jumped to 7.8 per-cent in June from 7.2 per-cent in May, according to the Kansas Department of Labor (KDOL).

This is the second con-secutive month the coun-tys unemployment rate has increased. May saw a one percent increase from 6.2 percent in April.

As for the state, KDOL officials are hopeful a cou-ple signs observed last month could signal job growth.

The estimate of average weekly hours worked increased in June to 35.1 hours, senior labor econo-mist Tyler Tenbrink stated in a press release. This is a rebound from the previ-ous five months, which only averaged 34.4

(hours).Unemployment claims

also have decreased.Initial unemployment

claims were down 2,064 from May and down 2,333 from last year, Kansas Secretary of Labor Lana Gordon stated. Fewer peo-ple coming into the unem-ployment system means more Kansans finding work and staying employed.

That appears to be the case, at least recently, in Riley and Pottawatomie counties.

Riley Countys unem-ployment rate decreased to 5 percent in June from 5.1 percent in May, while Pot-tawatomie County saw a decrease to 5.2 percent in June from 5.5 percent in May.

The unemployment rate for the Manhattan Metro-politan Statistical Area, which includes Geary, Riley and Pottawatomie counties, didnt change from 5.7 percent in May to June.

GRANDVIEW PLAZA Drivers hopefully will be quick to notice a change at the State Avenue and Grandview Drive intersec-tion.

Last week, the city announced it had finished installing stop signs on State Avenue to make the intersection a four-way stop.

Signs already had been installed a couple weeks ago on West and East Grand-view Drive.

The Grandview Plaza Police Department has

requested drivers take addi-tional caution when approaching the Grandview Drive and State Avenue intersection as it may take some drivers time to adjust to the change.

The intersection adjust-ment was part of a sidewalk project on the west side of State Street. The purpose of that project is to make trav-eling to and from school a little safer for children.

The project cost $8,400 and consisted of more than 525 feet of sidewalk.

CAIRO The family of ousted President Moham-med Morsi furiously denounced the military Monday, accusing it of kidnapping him, and European diplomats urged that Egypts first freely elected leader be released after being held incommu-nicado for nearly three weeks since being deposed by the army.

The fate of Morsi, who has been held without charge, has become a focus of the political bat-tle between his Muslim Brotherhood and the new military-backed govern-ment.

The Brotherhood has tried to use Morsis deten-tion to rally the country to its side, hoping to restore its badly damaged popu-larity. The interim gov-ernment, in turn, appears in part to be using it to pressure his supporters into backing down from their protests demanding

his reinstatement.Those protests again

turned violent Monday, with clashes breaking out between Morsi supporters and opponents near Cai-

ros Tahrir Square, and between pro-Morsi dem-onstrators and police in a city on the capitals north-ern edge. At least four people were killed.

So far, however, the out-cry over Morsis detention seems to have gained little traction beyond the presi-dents supporters, without bringing significantly

greater numbers to its ongoing rallies around the country.

Millions of Egyptians filled the streets starting June 30, demanding the

presidents removal after a year in office and leading to the coup that ousted him. Anti-Brotherhood sentiment remains strong, further fueled by protests that block traffic in con-gested city centers and by media that have kept a staunchly anti-Morsi line. Egyptian human rights groups have said he should either be freed or charged.

Behind-the-scenes talks have been taking place through mediators between Brotherhood figures and the interim government centered around releasing Morsi and other detained leaders of the group in return for an end to pro-tests by his supporters, according to Mohammed Aboul-Ghar, head of a lib-eral political party that backed the presidents overthrow.

The military fears that Morsis release would only increase protests and make them more aggres-sive, he told The Associ-ated Press. At least five other prominent Brother-hood members have also been detained.

LONDON Its a boy!Prince Williams wife,

Kate, has given birth to a prince who is now third in line to the British throne.

The child was born Mon-day afternoon, after many Britons woke up to the news that Kate, also known as the Duchess of Cambridge, had gone into labor with the couples first child.

The royal birth announce-ment said the boy was born at 4:24 p.m. weighing 8 pounds, 6 ounces. William was present for the birth, the statement said. The announcement did not include a name for the

future monarch, though one is expected to be revealed in the coming days.

Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well and will remain in hospital overnight, it said. William also issued a brief statement, saying we could not be happier.

Cries of joy erupted from the waiting crowd amassed near Buckingham Palace as the news came through, and hundreds of onlookers some of whom had camped outside for hours crushed against the pal-aces fences to catch a glimpse of the bulletin for-mally announcing the birth placed outside the palaces forecourt.

Dear Annie: My daugh-ter has been dating the same guy for 11 years. Three years ago, she purchased a townhouse, and he moved in. He has terrible sleep habits. He claims his inter-nal sleep clock is not in sync with the rest of the world. He stays up most nights playing on his com-puter and has a difficult time waking in the morn-ing. He then spends his weekends trying to catch up on his sleep, staying in bed until late afternoon. He claims this is why he has yet to complete his college degree. He has a dead-end job because they tolerate his hours.

My daughter has done research on sleep disorders and offered him names of doctors and clinics in the area that specialize in help-ing people, but he refuses to go.

My daughter has a fan-tastic job. She is intelligent, beautiful, outgoing and fun, and has a wide circle of friends who apparently make up for what she doesnt get from Rip Van Winkle. This lopsided rela-tionship is not what I had hoped for her. She deserves so much more. She and I hav
