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

at the golf course, street work and the Commercial Addition. 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.

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.

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.

A challenge I see in an older community is becoming established, gaining their trust and continuing to strengthen the bond with the youth. Halfhill has been married for more than 10 years to his wife Candace, and together they have a daughter, Cadence. In his spare time, he enjoys being outside and loves to fish and hunt.
The Martin Luther King Celebration Committee has scheduled two additional events to the 2014 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day observances next week in Junction City.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

TOPEKA The Junction City girls basketball team started the game against Highland Park at the free throw line. A bench violation on the home Scots sent sophomore Kealee Rains to the line to shoot two for a technical foul.

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.

We were up four and were trying to get up about six, and with that style of play where they come at us and slow it down, we wanted to make sure we had sure possessions.

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

the night his name was put on the floor. McMurray torched the Jays for 24 points, including knocking down four 3-point attempts. 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. Battle said his teams biggest issues werent with containing the Scots. Instead, he felt an inability to find much of an offensive rhythm ultimately was his teams downPlease see Offensive miscues, 3B

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

No. 4 team (Hays) in the state. Even though we came up a point short, it was huge. We showed people what we are capable of. It was huge, were capable of shocking somebody. DU: Whats been the biggest moment for you, athletically, of your life so far? T: Beating Manhattan two years in a row in football. I play football too, so definitely that. And I hope to beat them this year (in basketball) too. Ill do everything that I can. DU: Who do you think will win the Super Bowl and why? T: Either the 49ers or maybe even the Panthers. The Panthers are playing good with (Cam) Newton, but I think the 49ers are going to pull it off this year. Last year, they came up short and there was that bad pass interference call at the end, so they kind of want revenge. That couldve gone either way, but they didnt get the call so Im sure theyre coming back for vengeance. DU: What do you think the key will be for Junction City in the second half of the season? 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. Executing on offense and defense, we play defense every night, we just have to get better on the offensive side. DU: What are your plans for next year?

I definitely want to go that career path. DU: Who is your favorite athlete? T: Dan Marino. Im a big Miami fan, even though theyve been struggling lately, but Dan Marino was a great quarterback. He set a lot of records but (the records) have been getting beat now by (players like) Drew Brees. But Marino was a great leader. He led the Dolphins to success for the most part. He didnt win a Super Bowl, but they were good. DU: What is your favorite subject in school? T: I like history a lot. I dont like government, but when I took history my sophomore year, I liked it a lot. I dont do math, I dont like math but I like learning about history and our country. DU: What is your favorite sports movie? T: Probably Friday Night Lights. Ive always wanted to know what its like playing football somewhere besides Kansas, like in Texas, its huge down there. Its crazy how they came together, they werent a very good team, getting blown out in the state championship game, and came back and almost won it. Its a good story and its based on a true story, I like those kind of movies.

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.
The Junction City scholar bowl team (from left) Matthew Champagne, Frank Kim, Hunter Seech, Katharine Kellogg, Danny Bramucci and Nick Dombrowski won the Southeast of Saline tournament Thursday, beating a field consisting of 24 teams.

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.

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.

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.
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.

A Samsung 105-inch curved UHD TV is displayed during a preview event at the International Consumer Electronics Show Sunday in Las Vegas.
Associated Press
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
to the Consumer Electronics Association. Today, the lowest-priced Ultra HD TV being sold on Amazon.com is a 39-inch model from Seiki Digital for $500. 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.

any of us will resolve to change in some way at the New Year and only about 40 percent of us will still be working on that change in July. If you are one that makes resolutions at the beginning of the year but fail soon after, you may be able to beat the odds by checking out books at your public library. Helpful books highlighted in this column can currently be found on our New NonFiction book shelves. The top resolution for this year, as measured by a Harris Poll conducted in December 2013, is to lose weight. To aid in a resolution to shed pounds, the library has a plethora of healthy living, diet and exercise books.

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.

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-

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. Books with lots of pictures such as The Very Hungry Cater-

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.
