Former Milford City Council member James Talley still wants an explanation from the current council on how and why the citys superintendent received health insurance benefits for which he didnt qualify. But on Thursday, Talley focused on whether officials are following their duties and responsibilities per city code. For the last few months, Talley has been questioning the B RAD council and Milford R OETHER Mayor Brad Roether on why city Superintendent Randy Colp, from September 2012 to September 2013, received about $12,000 in health insurance benefits while knowing he didnt qualify for them because of his part-time status as a city employee.

CHAPMAN Chapman officials are pleased to begin 2014 with no red numbers. City Manager Gerald Bieker reported the overall cash balance for the city was more than $1 million, with balances increasing in each fund. I feel really good about 2013, Bieker said. According to Bieker, the general fund had a balance of more

than $70,000. The proposed 2014 beginning balance was $54,391. As a result, the city has a $22,000 head start. Other positive funds include water, electric and sewer. Taking away incentive funds for a couple of projects, the 2013 ending balance is more than $667,000, which is close to $100,000 more than what they began the year with. Weve had a good year and we have completed a lot of projects, Bieker said. Some of those include projects

Chapman is awaiting the results of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, which provides communities with resources to address a wide range of unique community development needs. Funds will be used to assist with projects such as street work, infrastructure, the Commercial Addition and the golf course. As soon as the results of the grant are known, Bieker said the city will need to pursue bonding to cover the cost of those projects. Officials are also looking forward to selling the service sta-

tion at Interstate 70 to Daras Corner Market, based out of St. George. One mayoral and two city council seats are up for election. The terms of Mayor Philip Weishaar and council members Dale Nelson and Ron Kabat are expiring. According to city officials, the upcoming election is set for April 1. The deadline to file for a position is noon Jan. 21.

After 16 years of leadership, Kite is retiring

At Westwood Elementary School, Principal Shelley Kite spent a portion of her Friday morning addressing educational matters and signing certificates for an upcoming awards assembly. In less than a year, Kite no longer will look into the eyes of students and teachers at school gatherings. After 16 years of leading the school, Kite is saying goodbye in July. The Geary County School Board accepted her resignation during its Tuesday meeting. Its like a family, Kite said. Thats one of the

things people have always said about Westwood. They said that way before I got here. For many years, Kite said she has worked to maintain that family-like atmosphere at the school. I really have a strong connection to the Westwood community, Kite said. I just love this community and I love the kids. Thats the part Ill miss. Kite said its been an honor and privilege to work with the administrators, teachers and support staff. I have learned so much from my colleagues over the years in the various positions I have assumed, and appreciate the support that I have received, Kite said.

Although Kite has enjoyed her time, running the school came with a few challenges. Some of the recent obstacles Kite has faced was a 2013 vandalism incident at Westwood Elementary, which resulted in more than

$200,000 in damage, and renovations in 2008. That was a good thing, but it was still challenging, Kite said about the renovations. We had to move everyChase Jordan The Daily Union

Although the program was criticized by many throughout the United States, Kite said there were some positive aspects. One of the good things that came out of No Child Left Behind was the focus on all kids, Kite said. To think that everyone can pass a test on a particular day and time was probably unrealistic, but everybody can grow and learn.

December 2013 weather summary


For the third consecutive month, temperatures and precipitation were below normal. The only thing that was above normal for December was snowfall. In fact, December was the coldest December since 2009, so you can expect your heating bills to be a bit higher. The average daily high during December was 39.6, 1.4 degrees below normal. The average overnight low was 15.5, 5.7 degrees below normal. This gave us a monthly mean temperature of 27.6, 3.5 degrees below the long-term average. The highest temperature for the month was 67 degrees on Dec. 3. The lowest temperature was zero

Weather Report on the first full day of winter, Dec. 22. There was one temperature record set in December. The low of 43 on the 18 set a new record high low temperature for that date. The old record was 41 set in 1957. While it was a chilly month, its a long ways from the record cold month. That honor goes to December 1983 when the monthly average temperature was only 13.6 degrees. The average overnight low

in December 1983 was 5.5 degrees and we went through a 72-hour period when the temperature never got above zero and hit as cold as -21 at night. On the flip side of that is the warmest December on record, which was 1957 when we had a relatively toasty warm monthly mean temperature of 40.2. December precipitation was pretty well dominated by a large snowstorm overnight on the Dec. 21 and early morning of the Dec. 22. The National Weather Service predicted that we were in the bulls-eye for the heaviest snow, and this time they were pretty much dead on. We had8.5 inches of snow, plus another one

half inch during the day on the 22nd resulted in nine inches of snow. Fortunately, high winds did not develop so the region didnt have to deal with severe drifting. Other precipitation events during December amounted to a few hundredths of an inch in precipitation. Milford Lake received 0.73 inches of liquid precipitation during December. Junction City received 0.64 inches. The normal for December is 1.02 inches. The snowfall total of 9.0 inches for the month was nearly 2 times the normal for December of 3.7 inches. Season to date (October to December) we would expect 4.7 inches of snow. The nine inches we

received as of Dec. 31 is 50 percent of our annual average snowfall. The snowiest December on record was in 2009 when our area received 17.2 inches of snow. January is our coldest month and driest. Temperatures basically bottom out about a third of the way through the month and then slowly start to warm up. Daily high temperatures basically stay in the upper 30s throughout the month and average overnight lows run in the mid to upper teens. Average liquid precipitation during January is only 0.65 inches with most of that arriving as snow. January and February are our snowiest months of the year, with an average of 4.7 inches.

I brought in some cold weather, Halfhill said with humor to the audience at the Chapman city council meeting Wednesday. I apologize for that. Fortunately, there were no fender benders, injuries or wrecks from the inclement weather something Halfhill said he can knock on wood for. But hell be busier in the future. As the newest face in town, Halfhill is ready to protect and serve the community of Chapman. His official start was Jan. 2.

So far Ive been accepted very well. His young age may be another factor. Most people in my position are in their mid- to late-50s, the 29-year-old said. A challenge I see in an older community is becoming established, gaining their trust and continuing to strengthen the bond with the youth.

Warrior Care and Transition Program to realign


WASHINGTON As part of changes to the Armys Warrior Care and Transition Program, several Warrior Transition Units will be inactivated, but Fort Riley will instead see some new faces. Instead, the Community Care Unit at Fort Riley will benefit, as the cadre from the Community Based Warrior Transition Unit (CBWTU) in Utah will transition to the Community Care Unit at Fort Riley. All nine CBWTUs will be inactivated, the Army announced, and 13 CCUs will be established at 11 Army installations. Fort Riley will be one of those 11 installations with a CCU; two installations Fort Belvoir, Va. and Fort Knox, Ky., will each have two CCUs. In addition, five Warrior Transition Units will be deactivated, those being ones where the population of wounded, ill and injured soldiers is extremely low. WTUs slated for inactivation include Fort Irwin, Calif.; Fort Huachuca, Ariz.; Fort Jackson, S.C.; Joint Base McGuire-DixLakehurst; and the United States Military Academy, West Point, N.Y. Changes are expected to be implemented by Sept. 30. These changes reflect our commitment to keep the faith with our soldiers and their families, said Brig. Gen. John Cho, Commander of the Western Regional Medical Command. Adapting our mission to serve a declining population of wounded, ill and injured soldiers enhances the overall care we provide to our soldiers. Brig. Gen. David Bishop, Commander of the Warrior Transition Command and Assistant Surgeon General for Warrior Care and Transition, said that the changes are not related to budget cuts, sequestration or furloughs.

Activist poet-playwright Baraka dies at 79


By The Associated Press
Amiri Baraka, the militant man of letters and tireless agitator whose blues-based, fist-shaking poems, plays and criticism made him a provocative and groundbreaking force in American culture, has died. He was 79. His booking agent, Celeste Bateman, told The Associated Press that Baraka, who had been hospitalized since last month, died Thursday at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center. Perhaps no writer of the 1960s and 70s was more radical or polarizing than the former LeRoi Jones, and no one did more to extend the political debates of the civil rights era to the world of the arts. He inspired at least one generation of poets, playwrights and musicians, and his immersion in spoken word traditions and raw street language anticipated rap, hip-hop and slam poetry. The FBI feared him to the point of flattery, identifying Baraka as the person who will probably emerge as the leader of the Pan-African movement in the United States. Baraka transformed from the rare black to join the Beat caravan of Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac to leader of the Black Arts Movement, an ally of the Black Power movement that rejected the liberal optimism of the early 60s and intensified a divide over how and whether the black artist should take on social issues. Scorning art for arts sake and the pursuit of black-white unity, Barak was part of a philosophy that called for the teaching of black art and history and producing works that bluntly called for revolution. We want poems that kill, Baraka wrote in his landmark Black Art, a manifesto published in 1965, the year he helped found the Black Arts Movement. Assassin poems. Poems that shoot guns/Poems that wrestle cops into alleys/and take their weapons leaving them dead/ with tongues pulled out and sent to Ireland. He was as eclectic as he was prolific: His influences ranged from Ray Bradbury and Mao Zedong to Ginsberg and John Coltrane. Baraka wrote poems, short stories, novels, essays, plays, musical and cultural criticism and jazz operas. His 1963 book Blues People has been called the first major history of black music to be written by an African-American. A line from his poem Black People! Up against the wall mother f---- became a counterculture slogan for everyone from student protesters to the rock band Jefferson Airplane.

Headlines from CES 2014


Netflix app to stream 4K on new TVs immediately
By The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS Netflix says video streaming of its programming in ultra-high definition will work for buyers of new UHD sets from Sony, LG, Samsung, Vizio and others upon purchase. Thats because Ultra HD models from those makers will include the Netflix app and chips that decode signals in the so-called High Efficiency Video Coding standard, or HEVC. The chip is required to decode signals that Netflix Inc. will compress by more than 100 times and squeeze through the Internet at a speed of 15.6 megabits per second. Thats a download speed widely available from Internet providers in the U.S. When the sets go on sale in the next few months, Netflix will be ready with Ultra HD programming, including some nature documentaries and the second season of its original series, House of Cards. Ultra HD streaming will be part of the standard Netflix streaming price of $8 a month, the company said. Netflix showed off streaming in Ultra HD, or 4K, on the sidelines of the International CES gadget show this week. The format has four times as many pixels as standard HD and vastly improves the clarity of larger screens that measure 60 or more inches diagonally. Netflix videos that are available in the sharper format are labeled with the Ultra HD 4K symbol. The picture was crisp on a large Sony Bravia screen when running off hotel Internet that was boosted to 50 Mbps, and didnt seem to take any longer than standard Netflix video to load. Neil Hunt, Netflixs chief product officer, said the company was in a unique place by being able to order original programming in 4K and then being able to deliver it to the small group of early adopters while the format is still in its early stages. People are recognizing that disc formats are yesterdays solution, Hunt said. go traffic while you sit back and send texts from behind the wheel. Cars are even using radar, ultrasonic waves and cameras to jump into the passing lane and get around slowpokes. Sure, all of these technologies are still in the testing phase, but that hasnt stopped car makers and technology companies from showing off a new paradigm of driving at the International CES gadget show this week. Its a world in which you no longer grip the wheel with excitement, but instead relax with a book or movie as your car chauffeurs you to your destination. Its also a future that wont materialize, say carmakers, unless legislators around the world create a new legal framework. One simulation at CES by Delphi Automotive PLC, a provider of auto parts and technology to major manufacturers including Ford, GM and Volvo, shows the possibilities. The scenario, using a stationary but souped-up Tesla Model S, imagines autonomous driving lanes, much like carpool lanes today. The company says vehicles might someday enter these lanes and then run on autopilot. The feat is possible today with a mixture of technology that keeps cars inside lanes and adaptive cruise control that matches a cars speed to the vehicle in front of it. While in the autonomous lane, the cars window glass frosts up and functions that had been disabled for the driver like video playing from a mini projector turn on. The driver can pursue other activities, like surfing the Web or even taking a nap. When the drivers exit nears, the car gets increasingly persistent, demanding that the driver take back control. First, the video player stops. Then a female voice intones, Place both hands on the steering wheel and look ahead in the driving direction. Finally, the seat starts vibrating and a driver-facing camera ensures he or she is looking at the road. The driver taps a steering wheel knob, takes control, and drives on. The experience is similar to airline pilots who grab the controls for take-off and landing but let a computer do the rest. These technologies exist now and the carmakers assure us theyre ready to go, said Jim Travers, associate editor of autos for Consumer Reports magazine. Its really not that far off.

Chris Christie and the abuse of power

The following editorial appeared in the Chicago Tribune on Friday, Jan. 10

hris Christie is a guy you want to like, sometimes despite himself. Hes just made that a lot harder to do. Take him at his word that he knew nothing about the arrogant abuse of government power to bully a political opponent, creating a public safety risk and inconveniencing thousands of people. Take him at his word on that, and you still have this: He created an environment in which some of his most trusted people thought that was a slick trick. They reveled in it. Until they got caught. Give Christie this. His apology on Thursday was full-throated. When he said he was embarrassed and humiliated, you could feel it. He fired his deputy chief of staff. He didnt dodge. He asked exactly the right question: What did I do wrong to have these folks think it was OK to lie to me? The pilots and owners of 16 airplanes are still waiting for an apology from former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, who abused his power, and stranded their planes, when he ordered bulldozers to carve up the runway at Meigs Field in the middle of the night a decade ago. Political arrogance tends to be more corrosive than your everyday arrogance because the power of government is so vast. Thats what struck us here: That people would wield that power with such force, and feel so gleeful about it. You know the story by now. Aides to Christie created a roadblock in September that caused long traffic backups on Fort Lee, N.J., roads leading to the George Washington Bridge into New York City, to punish a mayor who had refused to endorse Christies re-election. Commuters were inconvenienced, but the backups also delayed school buses and emergency responders. Christie initially said the backups were caused by a legitimate traffic study. But subpoenas issued by state lawmakers turned up a series of electronic messages that confirmed Christies government and political operatives had orchestrated the mess, and for a specific purpose. The governors deputy chief of staff tells a political operative: Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee. Got it, replies the operative, David Wildstein, a childhood friend of the governor who worked at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs bridges, tunnels, airports and transit. A couple of weeks later, two of the three local access lanes on the New Jersey side of the bridge were shut down. Delays ran into hours. Fire, police and ambulance services were impeded. School buses full of kids stood idle. Then the gloating started. One unidentified texter referenced the school-bus delays: Is it wrong that Im smiling? No, Wildstein wrote back. They are the children of Buono voters. Barbara Buono was the Democratic challenger to Christie. Christie handily won the election he surely didnt need any political dirty tricks to keep his career on track. But hes going to be dogged by this for a long time. Rev up the investigations. Maybe theyll conclude before the 2016 Iowa caucuses, maybe they wont. If Christie comes up with an answer to that question What did I do wrong? it would serve him well to let us all know what it is. Introspection wouldnt be a sign of weakness, especially for the famously brash governor of New Jersey. A good lesson for others who wield government power: Check your arrogance. Think of it as a preemptive strike on looming embarrassment.

Afghanistan, Iraq and the Middle East


We left Iraq celebrating about the good we did. We claimed victory in helping Iraq progress to a better government and a safer place to live. We turned our attention to Afghanistan and for a moment we listened to our President say, Osama bin Laden is dead and the Taliban is on the run. That sounded good but soon wore off. Recent months of Iraq and Afghanistan terrorist activity only underscores they didnt run too far. They have hidden in the rocks and caves of those Middle East countries resurfacing to fight even though the war might kill their own fathers, wives, mothers and children. They do not care. Our political leaders have decided to keep our military presence in Afghanistan for at least another ten years. You can count on it being longer. Many government leaders will now wish we had stayed in Iraq and we will be back there supplying weapons and military leadership. And what about Syria? Its a miracle we dont have 50,000 soldiers in Syria. The pressure to aid Syria has been phenomenal. They are truly a devastated country that needs help. The big problem is we are going to crash in America trying to police the world. Egypt, Iran and Yemen are other hot spots of severe concern. How far can we go? Its time to pull our troops out of Afghanistan and take a more realistic approach to the Middle East. We can supply military leadership and organizers along with weapons, supplies and food better than we can send fifty to a hundred thousand soldiers in each country. By the way, each of these countries is wealthy in oil. They can afford to pay us for our help even if it takes them fifty years. And then we can try to repay China for all the money weve borrowed from them.

B Y G LENN M OLLETTE

Special to The Daily Union

e need to pull our troops out of Afghanistan and take a completely different approach to the Middle East. Four thousand, four hundred and eighty six American soldiers were killed in Iraq between 2003 and 2012. Plus there were approximately 174,000 civilian and combatant deaths. These are horrendous numbers of death not counting the thousands who are still trying to recuperate physically and mentally from Iraq. News of hard won Fallujah being recaptured to Al Qaeda linked forces touches the nerve of service members who fought there. The average American watching the news shakes his head at the hardships of the Iraqi people. Tragedy is written everywhere. We know about the death of our children and parents and soldiers maimed for life as they stepped on explosive mines. We have seen the news clips of a country and people ravaged by war.

Republicans have little to offer poor L


ast week, Republicans marked the 50th anniversary of Lyndon Johnsons War on Poverty by denouncing it as an abject failure. Rep. Steve Southerland, R-Fla., performed a mathematical sleight of hand in declaring that more people are living in poverty than ever before. The National Review, the intellectual standard-bearer of movement conservatism, published an editorial relying on the same deceptive math. (Yes, more people are living in poverty, but the percentage is lower. The population has grown in the last half-century.) House Speaker John Boehner rushed to agree with those analyses. But the more interesting assaults came from a handful of young Turks, including Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., who understand that the GOP needs to change its image to reflect more charity and compassion toward the less fortunate. They presented familiar criticisms of government intervention on behalf of the poor while also promising they would introduce better solutions. If only they were sincere. As the United States like the rest of the industrialized world grapples with structural economic changes that are hollowing out the middle class, its leaders desperately need to come up with new ideas to help struggling Americans maintain a decent standard of living. Unfortunately, Republicans have next to nothing to offer. Take Rubios speech. His proposals were warmed-over Republican rhetoric from the last three decades, including the oft-repeated complaint that poor people are impoverished because they refuse to get married. He might as well have been Dan Qualye in 1992, railing against the fictional out-of-wedlock mother Murphy Brown.

CYNTHIA TUCKER
Commentary The truth is, the greatest tool to lift children and families from poverty is one that decreases the probability of child poverty by 82 percent. But it isnt a government spending program. Its called marriage, he said. This argument makes me crazy. Im a huge fan of the institution because of the many benefits a good marriage bestows: intimacy, companionship, stability. But it does not solve poverty. Suggesting it does is a logical fallacy confusing cause and correlation. Any survey of government data will show you that the poorest households are more likely to be headed by single mothers. But would they be any more prosperous if they were married to men who are unemployed? I dont see how. Brookings Institution economist Isabel Sawhill has written, If individuals do just three things finish high school, work full time and marry before they have children their chances of being poor drop from 15 percent to 2 percent. I have little doubt of that. But where are those full-time jobs to come from? The unemployment rate among black men with high school diplomas stands at around 30 percent, more than four times higher than the national average of 7 percent, according to an analysis by Remapping Debate, a left-leaning news site. That helps explain the low marriage rates among less affluent blacks. (Joblessness is increasingly

affecting working-class whites, too, and their marriage rates are also dropping.) Rubios speech also depended heavily on the conservative mythology that low taxes and less government regulation would create good jobs, a claim that decades of Republican rule have already shown to be a lie. If the GOP formula worked, the economy would have thrived during the tenure of George W. Bush, who famously cut taxes (leading to much of the deficit that Republicans now bemoan) and stripped away government regulations on business. The result? Economists call the Bush years a lost decade during which there was zero net jobs growth. Zero. Atlanta Journal-Constitution columnist Jay Bookman recently exposed the same nonsense at the state level. In Georgia, which has had Republican leadership since 2002, taxes have been slashed and public services scaled back. Some schools cant even afford to stay open for the standard 180 days a year. Has poverty in Georgia decreased as a result of this GOP experiment? Hardly. In 2002, Georgia had the nations 20th-highest poverty rate. Today we have the seventh-highest poverty rate. There is no way that can be defined as success or even as holding our own, Bookman wrote. The sad truth is that Republicans have no workable plans for reducing poverty just a plan to fool the political classes into thinking they care. Americas poor deserve more than that.

Schools, government agencies invited to submit solar projects for possible funding
TOPEKA Westar Energy is inviting Kansas schools, non-profit organizations and government agencies to submit proposals for solar projects, and for selected projects, the utility will partner with them by providing funds to purchase and install the solar panels. Target projects for the program will be 10 to 30 kilowatts and must provide electricity to a facility in Kansas. Westar expects to provide funding for purchase and installation of about 15-20 solar systems. Projects will be selected based on the opportunity to provide education about solar energy, the characteristics of the site, the organizations readiness to have the solar panels installed and geographic diversity. This program is in cooperation with the Environmental Protection Agency and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. Full program details and the application are available at www.WestarEnergy.com/ solarproject. Applications are due by March 1. In addition to the community projects, Westar is installing solar systems on several of its own buildings to study the performance of solar panels in this area. Westar is fitting its service centers in Manhattan and Lawrence with 40 kW solar arrays, and installing a 75 kW solar system on the roof of its Shawnee Service Center. Westar will share data gathered from the installations with customers to help them make informed choices regarding solar energy.

Sue gets promoted, manager not happy

The Daily Union. Saturday, Jan. 11, 2014

7A

Dennis the Menace

Marmaduke

Dear Annie: I am the manager of a small bakery. Ive had the same employee, Sue, for the past nine years. She is lazy and uninvolved, and I gave her a so-so review. Much to my surprise, Sue was promoted to management in another facility. I was happy for her achievement, until I heard she was telling others that she was doing the majority of my work, including ordering supplies. She added that I was suffering from Alzheimers and couldnt remember anything. None of this is true. I think it may have been prompted by my less than stellar review. Since Sue has been promoted, she has been asking me a lot of questions about how to do her job, because she is clueless. She doesnt know that I am aware of her nasty comments. Last week, another coworker told me that Sue is bullying her assistant and making her do the majority of her work. She is already making enemies there, and because of her lack of supervision, the bakery is becoming filthy and a potential health hazard. Should I keep quiet about what I know or contact human resources (anonymously) and report her misconduct, as a few employees have suggested? I am retiring soon and dont really need the drama. Caught in the Middle Dear Caught: You have nothing to report other than hearsay from co-workers. You have not witnessed any of this firsthand, and you dont know whether it is true. The fact that Sue calls you for help is meaningless. Many employees rely on others when given new responsibilities. The negative things you already know about Sue were in your review. They promoted her anyway.You can complain about the condition of the bakery, but Sues new coworkers should be the ones to take responsibility for complaining to human resources now. Dear Annie: I have four adult children. I announced to all of them that I would not be holding Thanksgiving or Christmas dinners at my home and that they were welcome to spend the time with their in-laws. My oldest was hurt because she has no in-laws to go to. My son texted his middle sister to ask what was going

on. My middle daughter was upset, saying I was allowing my youngest daughter to be the winner. My youngest daughter spent both days at a local church feeding the needy. Why was my family separated? Because my middle and youngest are not speaking to each other. When one of them is hurt or angry, they hurl vicious insults at each other. I feel bad about this, but I refuse to sit at a table with these uncaring adults and pretend that all is well. I had a nice TV dinner and a slice of sweet potato pie with whipped cream for the holidays. The losers in this mess are my grandchildren and I. I take responsibility for raising these people, but I will not allow them to ruin my day. June Dear June: If your children make your holiday celebrations frustrating and stressful, you do not have to include them. But how sad for all of you to spend these holidays separated or alone. Please give your children one more chance. Explain to them that nastiness will not be tolerated in your home and the first person to use an insult of any kind will be asked to leave. By now, they know you mean business. Dear Annie: I loved your answer to Last-Minute Hostess, whose stepson and his family always show up hours late for Thanksgiving dinner. Heres how I would respond to those who arrive late: Youre just in time for a piece of pie! I bet they wont show up late the next time. Fort Myers, Fla.

Horoscope
ARIES (March 21April 19). Some think its their job to be the agitator. Avoid them, because an agitationfree environment will be surprisingly enjoyable. So what if theres nothing to say about it later? TAURUS (April 20May 20). Designers of amusement park rides make it pretty obvious for the passengers to know when to get off the ride. Other situations in life arent as obvious, but if youre observant, youll sense the right moment to exit. GEMINI (May 21June 21). Youll be in a position to persuade someone to do what ultimately will be in everyones best interest. Should you use the tickling feather or the hard boot? Start with the feather, and if that doesnt work, switch. CANCER (June 22July 22). Theres a belief thats weighing you down, or maybe its a pile of clutter, but the answer is the same. Dead weight, whether metaphysical or tangible, is dead weight. Lose it, or it will slow you down. LEO (July 23Aug. 22). Out of fondness, youll talk about a certain person a little more than others, ponder your next meeting and go out of your way to please this person. And the feeling is mutual. VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22). Its fine to show your work before its finished today. The work in progress is impressive because observers must fill in the blanks with their minds, thus investing themselves in the vision. LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 23). Regarding your past mistakes: Just remember that you didnt make them all at the same time. Also, no one other than you even remembers most of them. So you get the benefit of the lesson and remain stain free! SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Because you want to know someone, youll take the time to build a bridge between your two worlds. Its a lot of work upfront, but once its built, you can cross it whenever you want. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Living fully is your style, as youll demonstrate with todays shenanigans. Youll have an adventure before lunch and three more before your head hits the pillow. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Dont let yourself be used by someone who hasnt figured out that people arent steppingstones to success. People may point out the path and offer a steady hand of support, but they, unlike stones, have feelings. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Aim your efforts at one person. When you know whom your work is for, it will be specific and personal and somehow more relatable to many others. PISCES (Feb. 19March 20). Your project needs momentum. If you stop for lunch, a phone call or an errand, getting back into the swing will be hard, if it happens at all. Dont stop until everyone agrees youve arrived somewhere.

US withdraws diplomat after India expulsion demand


By The Associated Press
NEW DELHI The United States said Friday it was withdrawing a diplomat from India in hopes it would end a bitter dispute that started with the arrest and strip search of an Indian diplomat in New York. Washingtons announcement that it was complying with a demand from New Delhi for the expulsion of the U.S. official came hours after Devyani Khobragade, Indias deputy consul general in New York, left the U.S. Khobragade, 39, is accused of exploiting her Indian-born housekeeper and nanny, allegedly having her work more than 100 hours a week for low pay and lying about it on a visa form. Khobragade has maintained her innocence, and Indian officials have described her treatment as barbaric. In an apparent compromise, she was indicted by a federal grand jury but also granted immunity that allowed her to leave the United States. Khobragade arrived in New Delhi on Friday, where she was met at the airport by her father and a sister. She just said, Papa, I love you, and thats all. And shes happy to be back, her father, Uttam Khobragade, told reporters. Khobragade left the airport separately through an exit that is not accessible to the public. Many believed that Khobragades return to India would be enough to give both countries a way to save face. India, however, asked the United States on Friday to withdraw a diplomat from the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi, and the State Department said it was complying, although with deep regret. We expect and hope that this will now come to closure, and the Indians will now take significant steps with us to improve our relationship and return it to a more constructive place, spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters in Washington. Requesting the recall of a diplomat is a serious, and fairly unusual, move that sends a message to Washington that Indias government doesnt accept the legitimacy of the court action in New York. Given the strategic partnership between India and the U.S. and more than $100 billion in trade, any further escalation in the case would not be in the interest of either country, analysts said. Psaki did not identify the U.S. diplomat but said it was Much of Indias outrage stems from the circumstances of Khobragades arrest, which were seen as unnecessarily humiliating. Khobragade was picked up Dec. 13 and then strip-searched while in custody, which the U.S. Marshals say is common practice. In India, the process was seen as a brutal affront to a middle-class, educated woman and a violation of courtesies afforded to diplomats the world over. The case has also led to complaints in India that the United States is not treating it like a powerful nation on equal footing with Washington. The case goes beyond the dignity of one diplomat, said Sreeram Chaulia, an international affairs expert at Jindal School of International Affairs in New Delhi. India made its point, which is that you cant take India for granted. India also unleashed a steady stream of retaliatory measures against U.S. diplomats. Some of the measures, such as preventing the American Center in New Delhi from screening movies, were seen by some observers as petty. But others raised alarm, including removing concrete traffic barriers around the U.S. Embassy and revoking diplomats ID cards. A visit to India next week by U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz has been canceled. Its a shame this came to the fore over one individual, said Lalit Mansingh, Indias ambassador to the U.S. from 2001 to 2004. It sends the message that were touchy about personal integrity, rather than about issues of global importance. Ties with the United States have chilled in recent years over several serious policy issues, including Indias delays in enacting more business-friendly reforms and the U.S. National Security Agencys alleged spying on New Delhi and other foreign governments. The U.S. charges against Khobragade will remain pending until she can be brought to court, either through a waiver of immunity or her return to the U.S. without immunity status, according to the office of U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara. Khobragades lawyer, Daniel Arshack, said his client was pleased to be returning to her country. Her head is held high, he said. She knows she has done no wrong and she looks forward to assuring that the truth is known. The indictment paints a picture of Khobragade as a harsh employer who refused to allow her housekeeper, Sangeeta Richard, days off, even telling her not to get sick because it was expensive. U.S. prosecutors say Khobragade claimed to pay Richard $4,500 per month in order to obtain a visa for her. But they say Khobragade actually paid Richard $573 per month and often forced her to work more than 100 hours a week without a single full day off. The long hours meant Richard was earning $1.42 or less per hour, the indictment says. After about six months of working for Khobragade, Richard fled and sought help from a nonprofit group that works with human trafficking victims because Khobragade refused to hand over her passport and allow her to return home, according to the indictment. It also alleges that after the housekeeper fled, Khobragade and a relative tried to intimidate Richards family in India by demanding they reveal Richards whereabouts. Khobragade also launched a legal complaint against Richard in India.

second grade teacher at Washington Elementary School. I always wanted to be a teacher and work in schools, Kite said. Next, she moved to the Administration Center and worked with the Special Education Gifted program from 1978 to 1990.

In 1990, she began working at Junction City Middle School assisting gifted students, and was named the Special Education Manager in 1992. Kite became the Special Education Assistant Director in 1994 and remained in that position until 1998 when she became principal at Westwood. She has served on many committees and task forces in the community. When Kite was a teacher, she

was involved in the Kansas National Education Association and served as president of the Junction City Education Association. The longtime educator was born and raised in town and feels that she has a commitment to give back to the community. I plan to be involved in the community more than I can as a principal, Kite said. As a youth, she attended Lincoln Elementary School. After

graduating from Junction City High School, Kite received her degrees and educational training from Kansas State University. Retirement is going to be a different experience because she is not going to be around her colleagues or other children. But shes looking forward to spending more time with her retired husband, Tom, and visiting their children and grandchildren.

In a news release, USD 475 Superintendent Ronald Walker described Kite as an exceptional leader who has always placed children as her top priority. Mrs. Kite has touched thousands of children over her nearly 40 years of experience, Walker said. I am proud to know an educator who loves children and loves USD 475. There are no words to express the value of Mrs. Kites experience other than she is loved.

Fort Rileys Morris Hill Chapel listened, Capt. Kevin Dual, Combat Aviation Brigade chaplain, said the loss of those five men was impenetrably agonizing for us to at first understand. I thought, Somebody made a mistake; must have been from somebody elses unit, he said. But then the facts were presented and there was no escape and no mistakes they were ours. Killed in the crash were: Chief Warrant Officer 2 Randy Billings, 34, Oklahoma Chief Warrant Officer 2

Joshua Silverman, 35, Arizona Sgt. First Class Omar Forde, 28, Marietta, Ga. Sgt. Peter C. Bohler, 29, Willow Spring, N.C. and Spc. Terry Gordon, 22, Shubuta, Miss. Also killed was Staff Sgt. Jesse Williams of the Second Stryker Cavalry Regiment, Vilseck, Germany. During Thursdays ceremony, Lt. Col. Matthew Weinshel, 1-6 Cavalry Squadron Commander, said he had flown with each of the soldiers, except Forde. Weinshel said the loss of so many soldiers at once and so close to the holidays makes the grief sting that much more. Every single soldier we lose, particularly in com-

bat, hits us very hard, most often personally, Weinshel said. We worked, celebrated, labored, supported, shared and led with each of these great patriots, both in training and in combat. We shared stories, hopes and goals for our individual and collective futures. Each of these soldiers knew full well the risks they assumed, but they loved their mission and each other, he said. They truly loved flying and told me so on several occasions. The example of service the men set should be held onto, Dual said. All of them were unselfish, they loved people, cared for their families and worked hard with

soldiers, he said. Whatever specific memory you have of these champions, its real. From each one, we acquire specific, positive traits of sterling character

which we project to our sphere of influence. Weinshel echoed Duals remarks. As with all of us, they were torn between their

love of and desire to return to their families, while feeling a deep dedication to their comrades and mission, Weinshel said. That is what made them great.

TALLEY

ley listed the duties of the mayor according to city codes, which he said include the responsibility of overseeing the citys employee benefit program and ensuring compliance with city ordinances. Do any of you think the mayor did that? Talley asked the council. He was told it was wrong. He should have stopped it probably the 15th of February. Last month, Talley asked Roether why steps werent taken to stop paying for the benefits in February 2013 when Talley first addressed the issue. He answered to the effect of the city council approved it, by approving the monthly bills, Talley said Thursday. If the City Council truly and officially approved it, they would have changed the provision (in city code). So something else happened. I think his answer was evasive and I think kind of a poor attempt to lay the blame on the council, Talley said. Before he asked about adherence to city codes, Talley asked the council whether any of them communicated with Roether to continue the health insur-

ance benefits, and whether the council was negligent in its oversight. Council member Dennis Cox said he had no comment. Doug Kneisl and Bill Noveroske both said they werent in communication with Roether about the payments continuance. Kneisl said he had no comment on the negligence question. Kneisl brought up Colps health insurance benefits in July and again in September. Kneisl even called for Colps termination in September, but his motion died for lack of a second. Council member Bill Noveroske said Talley was a member of the council when the issue first arose and also was negligent. I think all of us were, Noveroske said, adding that included Talley. Talley said hes admitted his negligence. Council member Dennis Bolte had enough of Talleys questions. Jim, we put you on the agenda, which did not give you the right to go questioning everybody on your specific, personal agenda, Bolte said. Because thats what youre doing here and I personally resent that. Bolte added the council was aware of the situation before Talley brought it up in February. Until you said some-

thing in public, nothing ever happened? Thats totally incorrect, Bolte said. We were working on a solution to the problem long before that and you were part of the council when it happened. Colp has told The Daily Union he initiated a conversation with Roether about benefits in 2012 after he moved from full-time to part-time status. Colp said nothing really came out about that. The council has said measures have been taken since Colps insurance ended, but hasnt described those measures. For several months, Talley has been seeking an explanation. On Thursday, he said $12,000 is a significant sum for many Milford taxpayers. If you randomly selected 40 homeowners in the city, I bet you would find some had to borrow to pay their taxes (and) dont have any health insurance, or are paying through their nose for a mediocre health plan that pales in comparison to the gold-plated plan that was wrongly paid for, he said. Talley said hes in talks with an attorney over the matter and would like to see a town hall meeting take place.

Catcher Brett Hayes has agreed to a one-year contract with the Kansas City Royals, avoiding salary arbitration. The 29-year-old hit .278 with three doubles and a home run in five games for the Royals last year and made $600,000. He batted .233 with 17 homers and 44 RBIs in 78 games for Triple-A Omaha. Kansas City claimed Hayes off waivers from the Miami Marlins in November 2012.

A lawyer for former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling says new documents directly contradict the allegations in a lawsuit that Rhode Islands economic development agency filed over his video game companys collapse. Sarah Concannon said after a brief court hearing Friday that documents she recently received contradict the charges and show theyre baseless. The documents had previously been withheld because lawyers for the Economic Development Corp. maintained they were privileged. The EDC backed a $75 million loan for 38 Studios, which went bankrupt. Rhode Island is now responsible for some $90 million related to the transaction. Schilling is among 14 defendants in the suit, which alleges fraud, misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty, among other things. The EDCs lead attorney on the case, Max Wistow, wasnt immediately available to comment.

Before the Kansas State-Oklahoma State basketball game Jan. 4, Junction City High School senior guard Danny Thornton was brought out to center court and introduced to the fans at Bramlage Coliseum. The Daily Union caught up with Thornton earlier this week and talked with the Blue Jays three-point specialist about the experience before moving on to some other topics. The Daily Union: What was it like being introduced at Bramlage Coliseum before the Kansas StateOklahoma State game? Thornton: I was surprised, first of all, because my friends dad gave me his tickets to the game and, you know how the K-State team is sponsored by the battalion, my friends dad runs that whole organization, so he set me up. It was a good experience, it was definitely a big stage, I appreciate it a lot. It meant a lot to me. It was electric, that place was crazy. DU: What did you think of the game? T: It was definitely crazy. K-State was playing well and then the end really got exciting because (Kansas State D ANNY guard Shane) T HORNtON Southwell got in foul trouble, but it was ridiculous. It was a good upset. DU: What did you do with the extra day of Winter Break? T: I was at the gym after practice. I came to practice and went to the gym afterwards. I got some extra shots up. DU: What is your favorite memory from the first half of the season? T: Id say almost shocking the Please see Thornton, 3B

NCAA Football

A former standout football player for Iowa State has been found dead in his East Texas home. Jefferson police say the body of Jason Thomas Berryman was found Wednesday with multiple gunshot wounds. Police have released few details of the investigation, but police Chief Joe C. Hall says no suspects have been identified. Hall confirmed that the 28-yearold Berryman played at Iowa State. Berryman starred at defensive end as a freshman in 2003, when he was named the teams most valuable player and the Big 12s defensive newcomer of the year. He last played for the Cyclones in 2005, when he was named defensive most valuable player in the Houston Bowl. He later signed a two-year contract with the NFLs Cincinnati Bengals but was waived in 2007.

TOPEKA The Junction City boys basketball team (3-3, 1-1) traveled to Highland Park (6-0, 2-0) with the hopes of making a statement against the No. 1 team in class 5A. Doing so on the day the Scots were dedicating their home court to retiring coach Ken Darting would only make the statement stand out even more. However, the Blue Jays couldnt contend with Highland Parks combination of size and speed, failing to damper the Scots celebration in a 62-39 loss Friday evening. This team is as good at pressuring the basketball and as good at getting in the passing lanes as any team well see, Junction City coach Pat Battle said. Weve got to handle the pressure better and the one thing weve got to be better at is we put it on the deck J ORdAN too much, we L AWRENCE dribbled it too much and weve got to limit that. Junction City opened the game poised for an upset. Senior Jonathan Wilds hit a three to put the Blue Jays ahead 9-7. But then Highland Parks Jahmal McMurry made sure his coach would always remember

Battle called McMurray one of the best guards his team will see all season. He was able to create his own shot off the dribble and make them from 23, 24 feet, thats pretty good, Battle said. Hes just a very good basketball player. I thought our kids did a really good job of fighting with him and defending him. I thought he played very hard tonight, you just have to give credit to him.

The rarest shot in golf happened twice on Friday on two tours. Joost Luiten made an albatross on the par-5 10th hole at Durban Country Club when he holed out with a 7-iron from 248 yards in the Volvo Golf Champions in South Africa. Later in the day, and halfway around the world, James Hahn holed out from 191 yards with a 6-iron on the par-5 ninth hole at Waialae Country Club in the Sony Open in Hawaii. There was only one albatross on the European Tour last year. There were only two on the PGA Tour. Hahn said it was the second albatross of his career. He made a 2 on a par 5 in Mexico when he was on the Nationwide Tour. Been there, done that, Hahn said.

MANHATTAN For stretches of the No. 25 Kansas State basketball teams (123, 2-0) practice on Thursday, Wildcat coach Bruce Weber blasted fake crowd noise from speakers onto the teams practice court. Its a new tactic for Weber. He didnt use it last season, nor in his nine years at Illinois preparing for many boisterous Big Ten arenas. However, with a date against Kansas (10-4, 1-0) looming at hostile Phog Allen Fieldhouse today, Weber wanted to make sure his young team which employs four freshmen, including leading scorer Marcus Foster, in his rotation knows what to expect. It was weird because you really cant talk to anybody at all, freshman guard Nigel Johnson said. If you want to call a play, youre going to have to call a time-

The freshman have only been alive for one K-State victory in Lawrence which came in 2006, snapping a 31-game winning streak for the Jayhawks in the series. The older players on the team have spent the time since the last game trying to hammer in the message of the importance of keeping cool under the expected fire. Senior guard Shane Southwell recalled his first trip down I-70. He said no one on his team played well. At one point, former Wildcat forward Please see Sunflower

T: Defense. We played great defense the first half of the season, for example one game only giving up 15 points, and a couple games, 20 points. The first game was our only bad game giving up points, so we straightened things out after that.

Mangino back in Big 12 with Iowa State


Associated Press

AMES, Iowa After four years out of the spotlight, Mark Mangino is ready for a new challenge in the Big 12. Fixing Iowa States offense figures to be one of the toughest tasks in the league. Mangino was introduced Thursday as the new offensive coordinator for the Cyclones. It is Manginos first job at a major program since he left Kansas amid allegations of player mistreatment following the 2009 season. Mangino spent three years away from the game, in part to support his wife through her successful battle against breast cancer. He spent last season as an assistant at Youngstown State before being lured to Iowa State his fourth job in the Big 8/Big 12 by coach Paul Rhoads. Im a believer that things happen for a reason. It was meant for me to be out for a little while, Mangino said. Manginos ugly split from Kansas seems to be old news in Ames, where the reaction to his hiring has been largely positive. The Cyclones have struggled to score for years, and Mangino is one of the best offensive coaches in league history. Mangino was Bill Sny-

ders offensive coordinator at Kansas State from 199198, and he helped Bob Stoops win a national championship in his three seasons at Oklahoma. Manginos Kansas teams were often among the nations best on offense. His tenure in Lawrence was highlighted by an Orange Bowl win following the 2007 season, when Mangino was named The Associated Press National Coach of the Year. Mangino again defended his time at Kansas on Thursday, saying that neither he nor his coaches crossed the line. He and Kansas reached a $3 million settlement in 2009. Whether its perception or reality, you have to deal with it, Mangino said. You have to constantly work on being a better player, a better coach, a better person. And Im no different. Sure, there are probably some things that I could have handled differently at times (at Kansas). But overall, Im proud of my work there. I stand behind it. Iowa State is hoping the coach some have dubbed the Mangenius can finally solve their issues on offense. The Cyclones were 91st nationally at just 24.8 points a game in 2013, and Rhoads fired coordinator Courtney Messingham less than 24 hours after the season ended.

SUNFLOWER SHOWDOWN
Continued from Page 1B
Jamar Samuels rose up for a putback. He slammed the ball flush through the hoop. Only it bounced out. I thought it was a ghost, a sixth man in that arena, Southwell said. The Jayhawks started the season with high aspirations after Kansas coach Bill Self brought in one of the most highly touted freshmen classes hes ever recruited. However, since an early win against then No. 4 Duke, Kansas has shown its youth, most recently losing to then-No. 21 San Diego State at home. Still, the Jayhawks will hold a significant height advantage in the front court, boasting a seven-foot tall center freshman in Joel Embiid. Southwell said the key will be a team rebounding effort. Every Wildcat will have to crash the boards, guards included. And while the Wildcats may play with a smaller lineup, they feel they can use it to improve their chances. I think the advantage we have on them is speed because for the most part, all of our guards can run, Johnson said. Were all fast and we play team defense so I think its going to be hard for them to score. Theyre going to work hard for everything they get. While Kansas experienced growing pains in December, K-State is surging. The Wildcats win at TCU on Tuesday extended their winning streak to 10 games, the longest since the 2009-10 season and tied for ninth longest in school history.

fall. Despite the game tilting out of his favor, junior forward Jordan Lawrence refused to back away from the challenge of playing against the bigger Highland Park front court. Lawrence led the Blue Jays with 12 points. I think one of the things is that hes got a nice touch from eight-to-12 feet and they gave him that shot, Battle said. He took what the defense gave him. I thought he played well within himself and I thought he did a really nice job rebounding tonight and finishing. Seniors Danny Thornton and Semaj Johnson each finished the game with eight points. Thornton knocked down two 3-pointers as the Blue Jays tried to shoot their way back into the game. Junction City returns home Tuesday for just the second time this season to take on Topeka High. The contest will not only have bearing on Centennial League standings, but also is a preview of the Blue Jays substate assignment. Theyre not quite as big or as long (as Highland Park) but theyre every bit as quick, Battle said. We really expect to compete, we expect to win that. Its a big game for us.

Bre Waterman really stepped up for us, Parks said. We had some girls who were hanging their heads and she became our cheerleader and got us going. Kori Kamm, she does whatever it takes to win, sometimes its scoring, sometimes its the little things, but shes really stepped up. Waterman scored five of her seven points in the second half. Rains led the Blue Jays with 10 points, including draining three of four fourth quarter freebies. Kamm, senior Shadaja Gamble, junior Cassidy Meadows and sophomore AKia Fain each scored four points in the game. Junction City received a fortunate bounce when Highland

Parks Shavon Ray failed to sink a late layup that wouldve put the Scots back on top. Then, the visitors closed out the game with a 6-0 run to avoid a collapse. I felt like we were in trouble for a while and one of the things I told the girls was if that layup goes in at the end of the game, that would be a whole different ballgame, Parks said. Junction City hosts Topeka High Tuesday for the teams first home game in nearly a month. One of the things I told the girls is that weve kind of been preparing for Topeka High already, Parks said. With what Highland Park does, theres nothing we can prepare for so weve been using Topeka High to try and beat Highland Park and hopefully it works in our advantage.

Kansas State guard Omari Lawrence keeps control of the ball after knocking over TCU guard Charles Hill in Fort Worth, Texas, Tuesday.
Southwell isnt putting any stock into the Jayhawks recent loss, noting that theyve played a string of tough opponents. Instead, the Wildcats are focusing on playing defense, hoping to ride it past the initial shock the amped-up environment will deliver. As long as were together we should be fine, senior forward Thomas Gipson said he told his younger teammates. But dont worry about the crowd, dont worry about the calls, weve just got to play hard.

NEW YORK Rick Nash snapped a tie with 1:58 left, and the New York Rangers sent the Dallas Stars to their fifth straight loss, 3-2 on Friday night. Nash poked a rebound of Chris Kreiders shot past Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen to give New York its first lead of the game.

Ryan Callahan and Derick Brassard both erased one-goal deficits, Brad Richards had two assists, and Henrik Lundqvist made 24 saves for the Rangers, who improved to 7-2-1 in their past 10 games. Ryan Garbutt and Cody Eakin both had a goal and assist, but the Stars remained winless in 2014. Lehtonen stopped 31 shots for Dallas, which went 0-3 on its threegame trip through the New York metropolitan area.

Issa David The Daily Union

The Lyric Arts Trio, consisting of Elena Lence Talley, Sarah Tannehill Anderson, and Dan Velicer (not pictured) performed at The C.L. Hoover Opera House on Sunday. One of the songs required the performers and audience members to wear a moustache. Go to yourDU.net to see a video of the performance.

Junction City Public Works members John Tenorio (left) and Josh Rumbaugh (right) install a bracket on the school zone sign near the intersection of Eisenhower Drive and Country Club Lane. Public works crews were out not only working on Eisenhower, but also continuing to work in the area of Sixth and Garfield streets, the site of a water main break. Traffic was limited to one lane in each direction through most of the week as crews worked in the area.

Last week was cold, but 1947, it was extreme


JAMIE MARTIN-CLARK
Museum Musings Weather Bureau. Every day he would record the wind, maximum and minimum temperature, and the precipitation, including in what form the precipitation fell. The article notes that this weather beat the previous record low in recent years of 20 below in 1943. Near zero weather all day on Friday set the stage for the record temperature. The highest temperature reading Friday afternoon was 8 degrees Fahrenheit. By 5 p.m. the temperature had dropped to zero and was falling fast. At 6 p.m. the mercury stood at 3 below, 12 below at 9 p.m., 18 below at 10:30 p.m., and 24 below at 5 a.m. that morning. The coldest measurable temperature was 26 below zero at 7 a.m. The temperature slowly started to rise as the sun came out. By 8:30 a.m. the temperature had risen by 1 degree and by 9:30 a.m. it was 17 below zero. Accompanying the cold was a relatively calm day which mitigated the cold to some extent. At 8:30 a.m. it was observed that there was not even enough of a breeze to move the smoke from the chimneys. This was observed by many as they tried in vain to start cars that refused to budge in the frigid temperatures. It was noted that taxis did a flourishing business as they hauled passengers to work and other errands. Plumbers, who have been kept on the run all week with frozen water pipes, had a new flood of calls this morning. Mechanics were kept busy thawing frozen motor cars and conditioning them for the Arctic weather. Tow trucks were much in evidence around town that day also. Many old timers were not impressed with the frigid temperature as they remembered lows of 30 below zero in 1911 and 1898. The article concludes that all main roads were open in Junction City, but the county engineers office reported a few side roads were still blocked by drifts in eastern Geary County. Some areas were cleared only enough for a single car to pass and it would take several more days before they would be completed. Plow operators had been clearing the roads up until 4 a.m. and were back on the job would.

ith the arctic blast we got last week many may think that this is the first time that this area has ever experienced such extreme cold. However in the museums scrapbook collection there is an article dated Jan. 4, 1947 that reports the temperature reached 26 degrees below zero. This almost-unbelievably cold temperature was reached about 7 a.m. after a steady drop throughout the night, according to L.W. Sargent, local weather observer. The Sargent family had for many years been the local weather observers. It had started with Linden who was famous throughout the state for his goose bone weather forecasts. He claimed that he could tell the severity of approaching storms by the markings on the breast bone of a freshly-butchered goose. His obituary states The secret to reading these bones was learned from the Indians in the early days in Junction City. His son Les, also known as L.W., was also interested in weather patterns. At the age of 18 Les started keeping weather information. In 1947 Les had served as Junction Citys official U.S. Weather Bureau observer for roughly 20 years. Les owned all of his own equipment except for a rain gauge on loan from the U.S.

ULTRA HIGh DEFINITION NOW AFFORdABLE TO CONSuMERS


and TV shows in the format, and Sharp introduced a relatively inexpensive TV with near-Ultra HD quality. The moves are meant to coax consumers to pedal faster on their TV upgrade cycles. At the moment, most Americans buy new TVs about once every seven years. TV manufacturers would love to create another wave of buying like the one that sent millions of people to stores a few years ago to upgrade from standard definition, tube TVs to flat-screen HD models. Unlike the 3-D TV trend, which quickly eroded into a tech fad in recent years, analysts say Ultra HD may actually catch on. With screens that house four times more pixels than regular HD TVs, Ultra HD is a simple enough upgrade to gain widespread adoption in the next few years. Aside from being visually jarring, 3-D required sometimes pricey special glasses and gave some people headaches. Because Ultra HD content can be delivered over a standard high-speed Internet connection, it isnt likely to get bogged down in a format war that plagued the Blu-ray disc standard. You see it, you get it. Its a big, awesome picture, said Ben Arnold, a consumer electronics analyst at NPD Group. Consumers will be interested in it as prices come down. Consumers are also moving toward bigger screens. All of this is good news for (Ultra HD). In side-by-side comparisons, Ultra HD is remarkably crisper than HD. It displays richer skin textures, finer details and less pixelation. The extra resolution becomes more important as consumers spend more money on bigger screens that amplify images. But Ultra HD, or 4K, is in its very early stages. Although prototypes and demonstration models have been around for years, the first sets for consumer use didnt hit the market until 2012 with prices in the tens of thousands of dollars. Only about 60,000 Ultra HD sets were sold last year in the U.S., with 485,000 estimated this year, according

LAS VEGAS After attempts to hawk 3-D and OLED TVs fizzled in recent years, television manufacturers are taking small steps toward making a new technology, Ultra HD, more viable for mainstream consumers. Its the first TV format to be driven by the Internet video-streaming phenomenon, and at the International CES gadget show this week, major streaming players Netflix and Amazon said theyll offer movies

The cheapest namebrand manufacturers model, a 58-inch screen from Toshiba, sells for $2,750. And LG announced this week it would sell an Ultra HD set as small as 49 inches diagonally, which could bring entry level prices closer to $2,000 for top brands.

In Marvels Ultimate universe, fate looms large


By The Associated Press
Its the end of the world for Marvels Ultimate universe, but its a beginning, too. Fourteen years after its creation by Marvel Entertainment as a modern, grittier and contemporary take on Marvels characters, the publisher is pushing forward with new efforts to reinvigorate its universe where the dead remain so and disaster, discord and ultimately redemption and rebirth are among the events that keep readers coming back issue after issue. What it means for characters like Miles Morales; members of the FF (Future Foundation, not Fantastic Four); and the All-New Ultimates, including the new Black Widow (she used to be SpiderWoman), Kitty Pryde, Bombshell and Cloak and Dagger, will unfold beginning in April as the events of the soon-to-end Cataclysm miniseries runs its course. Writer Brian Michael Bendis is tight-lipped about the end but said this week that it ends with great cost. Theyre able to win the day, but at great sacrifice, a sacrifice that is so huge that it changes the entire landscape, said Bendis. It creates a place that demands a fresh start from everyone who surveys it. The move is part of Marvel Entertainments relaunching of its Ultimate universe that starts in April under the banner Ultimate Marvel NOW! Editor-in-chief Axel Alonso called it the opportunity to tear down the existing universe to make it better. Once again, were destroying something and building something new, but theres an end game in sight, he said of the move, noting that Marvels so-called Ultimate universe has always been noted by readers, writers and artists and editors for its elasticity and experimentation. We created the line to take chances, he said. Dead is dead, he said, so dont expect any miraculous resurrections. The long and short of it is this: The Ultimate (universe) benefits from a good, old kick in the butt. Its also a chance for other characters to take larger roles in place of long-standing ones. If youve been following Brian Bendis and David Marquezs Ultimate Comics Spider-Man, you know that Miles Morales, has had to grow up fast, said editor Mark Paniccia. In All-New Ultimates, well see this eclectic group of super-powered teens step up, live fast and maybe even die hard in the new series written by Michel Fiffe and drawn by Amilcar Pinna.

Catholic bishops want probe on cluster munitions


By The Associated Press
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka Roman Catholic bishops in Sri Lankas former war zone have called for an international war crimes investigation into the countrys civil war including whether government forces used cluster munitions and chemical weapons in densely populated areas. Rev. Rayappu Joseph and Rev. Thomas Saundaranayagam made the request during a meeting with Stephen J. Rapp, an ambassador-at-large with the Office of Global Criminal Justice of the United States on Wednesday. Joseph told reporters after the meeting in the northern town of Jaffna that civilians who survived a bloody final stage of a quarter-century civil war had reported that cluster munitions and chemical weapons were widely used. The war ended in 2009 with the defeat of Tamil Tiger rebels. The bishops asked that the investigations also look into allegations against the government of deliberate attacks on hospitals, places of worship and the blockade of food and medicine for the civilians trapped in the fighting as a war tactic, Joseph said. Rapp is visiting Sri Lanka to discuss issues of alleged war crimes with government and other officials and has met religious leaders, ethnic Tamil politicians. He is scheduled to meet with government leaders before leaving the island nation on Saturday. He has not commented on his meetings so far. In 2012 a United Nations

Chicago Catholic archdiocese to close six schools


By The Associated Press
CHICAGO The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago announced it may close up to six schools at the end of the academic year and lay off some staff because of funding shortfalls. Catholic schools superintendent Sister Mary Paul McCaughey on Thursday refused to name the schools that will close. McCaughey told WMAQ-TV there is a lot of hurt among the families with children attending the schools. She said even if the schools have been on a watch list, learning they will close is always a surprise. Officials of Our Lady of Victory School in Chicago say they were notified the school will be closed unless it can eliminate the need for nearly $400,000 in yearly grants from the archdiocese. Last year, a funding deficit forced the closing of five Catholic schools.

That same year a medical worker told The Associated Press that many of the thousands wounded in the government offensive had burns consistent with those caused by incendiary white phosphorus bombs. U.N. officials first reported the use of cluster munitions in the conflict zone in February 2009, saying they appeared to hit in an area around a hospital.

They also said the U.S. was using a double standard by ignoring its own human rights violation. A U.N report says as many as 40,000 ethnic Tamil civilians may have been killed in the last few months of the fighting, mostly by government troops. Abuse allegations against the rebels include holding civilians as human shields, killing those who tried to flee their control and recruiting child soldiers.

Bald Eagles are now a common sight
CHUcK OTTE
Field & Garden tion offered by the endangered species act, by the late 1970s, Bald Eagle numbers started to rebound. In the early 1980s, you could find a few eagles around the lake during the winter, sometimes as many as a dozen. By the late 1980s I can remember one grand winter morning when a quick tour around the lake turned up 36. On a recent chilly day, I counted over 140 eagles standing on the ice scattered across the main body of the lake. In the late 1980s, the first Bald Eagles in over a century nested in Kansas. In recent years we have routinely seen over 50 successful Bald Eagle nests in Kansas and apparent nesting activity has been observed in nearly 100 locations around the state. So to say that Bald Eagles have made a comeback is an understatement. Bald Eagle numbers soar in the winter as birds that nest further north move south. Bald Eagles eat primarily fish and waterfowl but also have no qualms about scavenging on roadkill as well. As ducks and geese move south, and open water ices over, they keep moving south. But migration takes a lot of energy so they go only as far as they need to to be near open water. Last winter was mild. It was so mild that many reservoirs and rivers in Nebraska and Iowa never froze over and the number of Bald Eagles wintering in Kansas was quite low. Since this year has been a much colder year, Bald Eagle numbers have been quite high. They tend to spend nights in large communal roosts in large trees near the rivers. Two such roosts are known and monitored in our area and the middle of last week, each roost was hosting well over 100 eagles each. Unfortunately, the bitter cold weather has frozen over all of Milford Lake and numbers have dropped as these birds headed further south. One point of confusion that we see each year is differentiating between Bald Eagles and Golden Eagles. Golden Eagles are birds of the prairies and are rare around here, and rarely hang around lakes and rivers. They are more likely to be found in the western third of Kansas. Bald Eagles dont get their distinctive white head and tail until they are about four years old. Until then they are a mottled brown and white. If there are any white feathers in the chest and belly region of an eagle, it is a Bald Eagle. Essentially, if you see an eagle around Milford Lake or the area rivers, just assume that it is a Bald Eagle. Next Saturday, Jan. 18, the annual Eagle Days will be held at the Milford Nature Center. There will be programs through the day from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with guided bus trips at 10 - 11 a.m. and noon 1, 2 and 3:30 p.m., leaving from the Nature Center. All events are free and open to the public and provide a great opportunity to learn more about these awesome birds and see them in the wild. Plan to come on out and enjoy the day.

The Daily Union. Saturday, Jan. 11, 2014

t may surprise some people that Bald Eagles are now considered a year-round resident of our area. This past year we had four active eagle nests around Milford Lake and along the Kansas River. While wintertime can certainly bring a lot more eagles to the area, dont be surprised to see them yearround. Bald Eagles are the poster child of success for the Endangered Species Act. By the 1950s and early 1960s, Bald Eagle numbers in the lower 48 had dropped so low that seeing any eagle was cause for excitement. But with reductions in industrial pollution in rivers, changes in the pesticides that were being used and some additional protec-

Grab a book, not the remote I


know the weather is supposed to be stellar this weekend, but that doesnt mean it will be like that for long. As a result we are often anchored to the warmth of our homes as we see the effects of cold weather, wind, and snow blow around outside. A great alternative to clutching the remote and plopping down in front of the TV is to grab a book and curl up with a warm blanket. Adults and children alike benefit greatly from making time for reading in their daily lives. 1. They read better, write better and maintain a higher level of concentration. 2. It keeps the mind sharp and helps them process new information more quickly. 3. Children will have a better chance for a more fulfilling adult life if they have established good reading patterns and skills. 4. Reading expands interest areas and makes individuals more curious about learning more. 5. Reading is a fundamental skill needed to function more successfully at home and in the workplace. We can plant the seeds of interest in reading at a young age. Parents, grandparents, and caregivers can all contribute to planting these seeds in children.

DEB ANdRES
Living Resourcefully Its important that children have a good start with reading from an early age and have opportunities to practice reading. To do well in school, children need to be good readers. Schools shouldnt and cant take on this responsibility all by themselves. Family members have an important role to play. Reading with children helps them to do better in school and promotes success throughout life. Most of us know how to read to a child and thats important, but it is important to go one step further and learn how to read with a child. Children who are learning to read need lots of opportunities to practice, and they need people to read with them. You can be a childs reading partner. Reading with a child is called shared reading, because both you and the child are participating in the reading experience. It doesnt take a lot of time, its easy to do, and both you and the child will

likely experience greater satisfaction and enjoyment. What are some of the things you need to think about to make this shared reading time both fun and effective? Child-centered Set aside time where you can focus on the child alone, without distractions. Sensitive and respectful If the child doesnt like a particular book or seems uncomfortable with it, then switch to another book. Realistic Dont expect too much too soon. Enthusiastic When you share your love of reading with a child, your enthusiasm is contagious. Encouraging Help the child recognize even small successes. Commitment Let the child know that shared reading is important to you and then do it regularly.

pillar are good for this strategy. Sighting Before reading a page or passage, ask the child to find punctuation marks, certain words, specific letters, or the smallest or largest word. Discovery Reading Guide the child through a familiar book, such as Old MacDonald, with the child filling in repeated phrases. Echo Reading Read a passage and have the child read it back to you. Unison Reading Both you and the child read the same passage aloud at the same time. Whisper Reading Read very quietly into your childs ear while the child reads aloud. Stop and Go Reading You and the child take turns reading, and the child

chooses a signal to show that its time to switch. Solo Reading the child reads completely independently to you. Here are some additional suggestions to help the child become a better reader: Simply talk with the child. Read to and with the child. Help the child read solo. Actually create books that include artwork and writing with the child. Have lots of books available. Let the child see YOU reading. Most importantly, MAKE READING FUN. Source: How to Read With Your Grandchild: www.eXtension.org

Our local public library, the Dorothy Bramlage Library has a wonderful collection of books that will interest young and seasoned readers alike. They can offer some suggestions on what books would interest all ages. Additionally, you are welcome to call me at the Geary County Extension office for additional ideas about reading to children and helping expand their interest and curiosity through reading. I would be happy to share some book titles that I have enjoyed reading to my kids and for myself, as well. Until next time keep living resourcefully.

Its important to have fun and easy shared reading strategies that you can use with the child. This list starts with strategies for younger, inexperienced readers and works toward independent solo reading: Picture Reading Ask questions about the pictures or have the child tell a story just by looking at the pictures.

Aldean announces 50-date tour with stadium visits


By The Associated Press
NEW YORK Jason Aldean is heading to the centerfield. The country star is partnering with Major League Baseball to launch a 50-date tour this spring that will include stops at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., and Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. The Burn It Down Tour will kick off May 1 in Roanoke, Va. For me, it doesnt seem like that long ago we were playing little clubs, the 36-year-old said in an interview Thursday at the MLB offices in New York City. So, to go from playing small bars and clubs that werent even sold out to now going in and selling out these stadiums ... to me, its pretty overwhelming sometimes, but I love it. Aldean, who will also play arenas on the tour, will visit stadiums in Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. More shows will be announced at a later date. The stadium stage isnt new for Aldean: He played Fenway Park in Boston and the University of Georgias Sanford Stadium last year. When you play a stadium, you attack it the way you attack any other show. You still want to give people the best show you

Experience

your News

can give them, he said. Aldean, who released his debut in 2005, is riding high off the success of 2010s triple platinum My Kinda Party and 2012s platinum Night Train. Night Train, his fifth album, is nominated for best country album at the Grammy Awards on Jan. 26. The record will battle efforts from Taylor Swift, Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw and newcomer Kasey Musgraves. You look at all the other artists that could have been (nominated) and youre one of a handful especially me for an album (award) because thats something that I put a lot of time into, he said. If we win it, we do, if we dont, we dont. Thats one thing Ive tried not to worry about over the years. He said if he does win the prize, hell take it on the road for his stadium tour. Florida Georgia Line, the country duo that had one of last years top songs with the Nelly-assisted remix of Cruise, will join Aldean on the road. Tyler Farr will also open for Aldean, and Miranda Lambert will play select dates. She puts on a great show. I was always like, If I was a female act, thats what I would do, Aldean said. She just tears it up.
