The Abilene
Abortion
legislation
about
tweaks
By JOHN HANNA
The Associated Press
TOPEKA Abortion is a perpetual
agenda item for the Kansas Legisla-
ture, and this session is no different.
But instead of setting new policy, a
measure slated for a House commit-
tee vote this week would make small
changes to existing laws.
The bill before the House Federal
and State Affairs Committee, pushed
by abortion opponents, tackles two
issues raised by abortion providers in
state and federal lawsuits challenging
anti-abortion laws enacted last year.
One piece revises a requirement that
the home pages of abortion provid-
ers websites link to a state health de-
partment site with information about
pregnancy and fetal development.
Other parts revise the language in
various provisions of the law dealing
with medical emergencies in which
abortion restrictions are waived.
Planned Parenthood says its offcial
stance is neutral on the legislation.
Kansans for Life, the most infuential
anti-abortion group at the Statehouse,
sees the changes as improvements
that could help enforce existing laws.
But this years measure is nowhere
near as dramatic as other proposals
enacted under Republican Gov. Sam
Brownback, a strong abortion oppo-
nent, and its a far cry from laws en-
acted in Arkansas and North Dakota
last year to ban abortions in the frst
few months of pregnancy.
Its just technical clarifcations,
said committee chairman Rep. Steve
Brunk, a Wichita Republican who
opposes abortion.
The committee is scheduled to de-
bate the bill Tuesday and members
are expected to approve it, sending
the measure to the entire House for
debate. Both legislative chambers
have strong anti-abortion majorities,
and Brownback so far has signed ev-
ery abortion restriction bill sent to
him since taking offce in 2011.
Since then, Kansas has tightened
limits on late-term abortions, banned
sex-selection abortions, restricted
private health insurance coverage for
elective procedures, prohibited pro-
viders from furnishing materials or
instructors for public school sexual-
ity courses and blocked potential tax
breaks for abortion providers.
The attorney generals offce has
paid two private law frms more than
$1 million since 2011 to defend anti-
abortion laws in court. And federal
and state lawsuits have blocked en-
forcement of the website rule, spe-
cial health and safety regulations for
abortion providers and a law deny-
ing some federal funds to Planned
Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-

appeal

Three members of 502 Media Group, of Manhattan, flm a local actor in Old Abilene Town. The media group flmed their commercial for Kansas Wheat
Alliance on Saturday and Sunday. Tara Noel, 2009 Abilene High School graduate and creative of the business, said she enjoyed getting to shoot a short
flm in her hometown.
County native returns to city with eye for video
By TIFFANY RONEY
tiffany.roney@abilene-rc.com
To shoot a movie in her hometown
last weekend was awesome and
fun for an Abilene High School
graduate, but it was also challeng-
ing because it was her frst time to
direct a short flm.
I was so fortunate to just walk
into a job and have them say, Yes,
I need you I know a lot of peo-
ple that are not that lucky to get a
job right away, Tara Noel said. I
would say the obstacles are more
myself. Thats getting kind of deep,
but just having the confdence in
myself to do the good work and to
not be afraid to communicate with
other people and to direct.
Though Noel said she battled jit-
ters with her frst directing project
for 502 Media Group of Manhattan,
she said she found several ways to
overcome her internal barriers.
I think just telling myself that I
can do it and not be afraid to tell
other people my opinions, she said.
Ive learned to trust my own talent
and that youre always going to get
better. Youre not going to get better
unless you do make mistakes.
While Noel said she has had
to grow in confdence about her
abilities, project manager Rachel
Hermes said Noel has nothing to
worry about.
She is an incredibly talented art-
ist and has been since she was a
little girl, Hermes said. She can
draw anything on paper that you
would not believe.
Hermes said the small business
originally hired Noel as a paid in-
tern while she was studying graphic
arts at K-State, and then they hired
her on full-time as soon as she re-
ceived her diploma.
We hired her as a graphic design-
er, and she showed a lot of promise
in doing video production, Hermes
said.
Noel is now an everything girl
she works with lighting, knows
videography and helps with a vari-
ety of project parts, from idea gen-
eration and script-writing during
the pre-production process to post-
production editing when the shoots
are complete.
We love having her on the team,
Hermes said.
As a creative the media
worlds new term for digital art-
ists who can bend themselves into
almost any role behind the camera
Noel thought she would have to
move to the coast to use her skills.
All that changed when she Googled,
Video production and found 502

Dentists speak out against fuoride bill
The Associated Press
LAWRENCE As Kansas
lawmakers prepare to discuss a
bill pushed by opponents of fuo-
ridation in public water supplies,
several oral health advocates are
fghting back against what they
call misinformation that distorts
research on the safety of fuoride.
Steve Brunk, a Wichita Repub-
lican, has introduced a measure
that would require municipalities
that fuoridate their water to noti-
fy citizens that the latest science
confrms that ingested fuoride
lowers the IQ in children.
Oral health advocates say the
benefts of fuoride in fghting
tooth decay are immeasurable,
and that the science on the safety
of water fuoridation is settled.
A hearing before the House
Health and Human Services
Committee is scheduled for Feb.
19, the Lawrence Journal-World
reported.
Im doing the most pro-life
work Ive ever done with this fu-
oride fght, said Mark Gietzen,
a conservative political activist
who has been protesting at Wich-
ita abortion clinics and helped
draft the bill Brunk introduced.
Gietzen said he hadnt thought
much about fuoride until the
city of Wichita asked voters in
2012 whether it should add the
chemical to its water supply. The
measure was defeated, but Gi-
etzen said he realized then that
eliminating water fuoridation in
America has the potential to save
more lives than even outlawing
abortion.
Nearly 75 percent of all Ameri-
cans live in communities that
add fuoride to their water, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention says.
Kansas Dental Association ex-
ecutive director Kevin Richard-
son said anti-fuoride activists
fall into two categories: Those
who believe it is an industrial
chemical that causes every type
of cancer and ailment or those
who think fuoride is used by
government as a mind-control
agent.

Miss Kansas bags buck with bow
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Miss Kansas
traded evening gowns for camoufage
when she went out on a deer bow hunt
this winter in southeast Kansas.
Theresa Vail joined a December hunt
in the Pratt area organized by the Kansas
Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tour-
ism, JB Outftters and Realtree Outdoors,
which taped the hunt for a television
show, The Kansas City Star reported.
I like to hunt, and Im not going to
hide that. A woman can enjoy being
out there bow hunting just as much as
a man can, said Vail, who was also the
frst Miss America contestant to reveal
her tattoos during the national pageants
swimsuit competition.
Vail, 23 and a sergeant in the National
Guard, has been a hunter since her dad
introduced her to the sport when she was
10. She took part the hunt to get a chance
to shoot a trophy buck.
I think a lot of people have precon-
ceived notions of what a beauty pageant
queen will act like, said Vail, who was
scheduled to be the featured speaker at
the Hunters Expo in Overland Park,
which ended Sunday.
Vail bow hunted for three days in cold,
wet conditions with Realtrees David
Blanton. Vail got her shot at an 8-point
buck in the fnal hour on the third day.
I have only been bow hunting for a
year, she said. I had taken a couple of
does, but I wanted a big Kansas buck.
This was a thrill.
Vail majored in chemistry and Chinese
at Kansas State before she became Miss
Kansas. She said she probably wont im-
mediately return to school after her reign
as Miss Kansas is over. Shed like to get
a job in the outdoors industry, possibly
with her own TV show on hunting.
She also speaks to groups about bully-
ing and her love of the outdoors and ex-
pects to be busy after she steps down as
Miss Kansas.
For one thing, Im going to do a lot
more hunting, she said.
Caffeine common in kids
The Associated Press
CHICAGO Nearly 3 out
of 4 U.S. children and young
adults consume at least some
caffeine, mostly from soda,
tea and coffee. The rate didnt
budge much over a decade, al-
though soda use declined and
energy drinks became an in-
creasingly common source, a
government analysis fnds.
Though even most pre-
schoolers consume some
caffeine-containing products,
their average was the amount
found in half a can of soda,
and overall caffeine intake de-
clined in children up to age 11
during the decade.
The analysis is the frst to
examine recent national trends
in caffeine intake among
children and young adults
and comes amid a U.S. Food
and Drug Administration in-
vestigation into the safety of
caffeine-containing foods and
drinks, especially for children
and teens. In an online an-
nouncement about the inves-
tigation, the FDA notes that
caffeine is found in a variety
of foods, gum and even some
jelly beans and marshmallows.
The probe is partly in re-
sponse to reports about hos-
pitalizations and even several
deaths after consuming highly
caffeinated drinks or energy
shots. The drinks have not
been proven to be a cause in
those cases.
The new analysis, by re-
searchers at the Centers for
Disease Control and Pre-
vention, shows that at least
through 2010, energy drinks
were an uncommon source of
caffeine for most U.S. youth.
The results were published
online Monday in the journal
Pediatrics.
The American Academy
of Pediatrics recommends
against caffeine consumption
for children and teens because
of potentially harmful effects
from the mild stimulant, in-
cluding increases in heart rate
and blood pressure, and wors-
ening anxiety in those with
anxiety disorders.
Dr. Stephen Daniels, chair-
man of the academys nutri-
tion committee, said caffeine
has no nutritional value and
theres no good data on what
might be a safe amount for
kids.
Evidence that even very
young children may regularly
consume caffeine products
raises concerns about possible
long-term health effects, so
parents should try to limit their
kids intake, said Daniels, head
of pediatrics at the University
of Colorados medical school.
The authors analyzed na-
tional health surveys from
1999 through 2010, involv-
ing a total of 22,000 from age
2 to 22. The children or their
parents answered questions
about what they ate or drank
the previous day, a common
method researchers use to as-
sess Americans diets.
In 2010, 10 percent of daily
caffeine came from energy
drinks for 19- to 22-year-olds;
2 percent for 17- to 18-year-
olds, and 3 percent for 12- to
16-year-olds. For younger
kids, the amount from energy
drinks was mostly minimal or
none during the study.
The average intake in the
study was about 60- to 70 mil-
ligrams daily, the amount in a
6-ounce cup of coffee or two
sodas, said lead author Amy
Branum, a health statistician
at the CDCs National Center
for Health Statistics. For the
youngest kids it was much less
than that.
Use of energy drinks in-
creased rapidly during the
study, even if they didnt
amount to a big portion of
kids caffeine intake, and that
rise is a trend researchers are
going to keep their eyes on,
Branum said.
Soda was the most common
source of caffeine throughout
the study for older children
and teens; for those up to age
5, it was the second most com-
mon after tea. Soda intake
declined for all ages as many
schools stopped selling sugary
soft drinks because of obesity
concerns.

DEAR DOCTOR K: My cho-
lesterol has always been fne, but
recently its started to rise, though
not high enough for medication.
What do I need to do?
DEAR READER: There are sev-
eral ways you can lower your cho-
lesterol besides taking medicine.
They involve cholesterol-friendly
lifestyle changes: dietary modif-
cations and regular exercise.
Start with your diet. First, lets
consider fats. The types of fat
you eat are as important as the
amounts you eat. Most animal
and dairy fats are full of unhealthy
saturated fats, which raise choles-
terol levels.
In fact, consuming foods with
saturated fat will raise your blood
levels of cholesterol more than
consuming foods high in choles-
terol itself (interestingly, choles-
terol is also a type of fat). Satu-
rated fats stimulate your liver to
produce more cholesterol, and
your liver is the main source of
cholesterol in your body.
Saturated fats are found mostly
in animal products, such as meat,
milk and eggs. A few vegetable
oils, such as palm oil, coconut
oil and cocoa butter, also contain
saturated fats.
Trans fats are even worse and
should be avoided completely.
Trans fats raise LDL (bad) choles-
terol and lower HDL (good) cho-
lesterol. Its a double whammy.
Trans fats can be found in hard
(stick) margarines and processed
cakes, biscuits, cookies and a
range of other products. The FDA
is likely to ban trans fats in the
near future.
On the other hand, most veg-
etable fats (oils) are made up of
unsaturated (polyunsaturated and
monounsaturated) fats that are
healthy for your heart. You can
fnd these healthier fats in fsh as
well as nuts, seeds, vegetables and
most vegetable oils. Opt for these
whenever possible. They dont
raise your blood cholesterol lev-
els.
Two more dietary changes can
also help. First, increase your in-
take of soluble dietary fber. Oat
bran, barley, nuts, seeds, beans
and lentils are all good sources.
Second, increase your consump-
tion of plant sterols and stanols.
These naturally occurring plant
compounds limit the amount of
cholesterol your body can absorb.
You can fnd sterol- and stanol-
enriched orange juice, cereals and
margarine spreads in the grocery
store.
The other key lifestyle change is
regular exercise, which improves
cholesterol levels and protects
against cardiovascular disease. It
also raises HDL (good) choles-
terol.
Aim for at least 30 minutes of
moderate-intensity physical activ-
ity on most days of the week. Find
an activity, or combination of ac-
tivities, that you enjoy -- and stick
with it. Jogging, running, swim-
ming, biking, tennis and basket-
ball are all great options.
Continue to maintain these life-
style changes even if you eventu-
ally need medication.
It sounds like youd prefer not
to take cholesterol medicines, but
theres some new information you
should know. The statins, medi-
cines that lower cholesterol, have
been discovered to protect against
heart disease even in people with
normal cholesterol levels. For that
reason, statins are recommended
in people with several risk factors
for heart disease -- even if their
cholesterol levels are normal.
So while you absolutely should
consider lifestyle changes frst to
lower your cholesterol, check with
your doctor about whether you
might also beneft from statins.

BRIDGE by
PHILLIP ALDER
Lord Chesterfield, a British
politician who led a colorful
life and died in 1773, said,
Never seem more learned
than the people you are with.
Wear your learning like a
pocket watch and keep it hid-
den. Do not pull it out to count
the hours, but give the time
when you are asked.
At the bridge table, do not
count the minutes; instead,
count the points, the winners,
the losers. The more counting
you do, the more successful
you will be.
In this deal, South charges
into six hearts. How should he
play after West leads the spade
king?
South decided that if he
needed a side-suit finesse to
work, it probably would, given
Wests opening bid. So he ad-
venturously used the Gerber
four-cl ub ace-aski ng con-
vention, then settled into six
hearts.
South is missing 15 high-
card points. So it is just pos-
sible that East has the heart
king. And if East has that king,
West must hold the club king,
and declarer can take all 13
tricks. However, if the heart
finesse loses, West will cash a
couple of spade tricks.
Suppose, instead, that the
club finesse is winning. How
many tricks would that pro-
vide?
One spade, six hearts, two
diamonds and three clubs --
ah, 12.
South should win with his
spade ace and play a club to
dummys jack. Then he should
lead the heart queen, tempt-
ing East to cover if he has the
king. But when East plays low,
declarer wins with his ace,
repeats the club finesse, and
discards his two spade losers,
one on the club ace and one
on the diamond king. Then he
concedes one trick to Wests
heart king.

Missouri, which performs
abortions at its Overland Park
clinic. Last year, a Shawnee
County judge blocked en-
forcement of new language
on medical emergencies after
two doctors argued it would
be nearly impossible for a
woman in crisis to obtain an
abortion.
Planned Parenthood lob-
byist Elise Higgins said the
organization is neutral on
this years bill because, it
doesnt actively create new,
bad policy.
In previous years, weve
been battling legislation that
restricts womens access to
health care, Higgins said.
Abortion providers, despite
already linking to the state
health department site from
their websites, have attacked
the website requirement in
court. Not all providers link
from home pages, and the
requirement enacted last
year mandates that the link
come with a statement that
the states information is ob-
jective, nonjudgmental and
scientifcally accurate. The
providers disagree with the
assessment and contend their
free speech rights are being
violated.
This years bill strikes the
requirement for the statement
to appear with the link. Kathy
Ostrowski, Kansans for Lifes
legislative director, said abor-
tion opponents arent backing
off their endorsement of the
states information but are
taking a practical step to get
the rest of the requirement
enforced, so that women have
an easier time accessing the
states material.
That is our greater inter-
est, she said.
Ostrowski said the problem
blocking enforcement of the
language about medical emer-
gencies is a small bump and
noted that abortion opponents
predicted last year it could be
fxed easily. She said the bill
makes multiple references to
medical emergencies in abor-
tion laws consistent.
It really is just a technical
tweak, she said.
As for new, sweeping anti-
abortion measures for the
Legislature to consider, Kan-
sans for Life has resisted
advocating for those, fear-
ing rulings by the U.S. and
Kansas supreme courts could
undo past restrictions. Five
of the seven Kansas Supreme
Court justices were appointed
by former Govs. Kathleen Se-
belius and Mark Parkinson,
Democrats who supported
abortion rights.
Kansans for Life leaders
have argued that incremental
steps are more effective in de-
creasing abortion.
We are committed to this
approach, Ostrowski said.
But Higgins, Planned Par-
enthood and other abortion
rights advocates are on guard,
having seen the wave of laws
enacted in the past three
years.
Higgins said of this years
bill, It is not the end of abor-
tion legislation.

Fluoride lowers the in-
cidence of tooth decay
thats a proven fact,
Richardson said. He added
that the CDC has named
water fuoridation as one
of the top 10 public health
achievements of the 21st
century.
The claims about lower-
ing IQ come from a 2012
Harvard study that found a
correlation between slower
brain development and in-
creased levels of fuoride in
water. The research focused
on children in China, which
unlike the U.S. has a
high natural occurrence of
fuoride in its water.
James Otten, a Lawrence
dentist, said that in 30 years
in the profession he has
found that patients who
grew up in places with fuo-
ridated water generally have
less tooth decay than those
who didnt.
It has the most effect on
developing teeth in chil-
dren, as theyre growing,
from about age 3 to about
age 12, he said. Starting
kids off with good enamel
and better resistance to dis-
ease really has a profound
effect on their entire life-
time.
Paul Finney, a Humbolt
acupuncturist, said public
health offcials support wa-
ter fuoridation because
they believe what they were
taught in school and they
dont bother to read the sci-
ence.

Medical marijuana gains traction in Deep South
The Associated Press
ATLANTA Medical
marijuana has been a non-
starter in recent years in the
Deep South, where many Re-
publican lawmakers feared it
could lead to widespread drug
use and social ills. That now
appears to be changing, with
proposals to allow a form of
medical marijuana gaining
momentum in a handful of
Southern states.
Twenty states and the Dis-
trict of Columbia have legal-
ized medical marijuana, and
this year powerful GOP law-
makers in Georgia and Ala-
bama are putting their weight
behind bills that would allow
for the limited use of cannabis
oil by those with specifc med-
ical conditions. Other South-
ern states are also weighing
the issue with varying levels
of support.
The key to swaying the
hearts of conservative law-
makers has been the stories of
children suffering up to 100
seizures a day whose parents
say they could beneft from
access to cannabidiol, which
would be administered orally
in a liquid form. And propo-
nents argue the cannabis oil
is low in tetrahydrocannabi-
nol, or THC, the psychoactive
compound in marijuana that
makes users feel high.
Im an unlikely champion
for this cause, said Georgia
Rep. Allen Peake, a business-
man from Macon who at-
tended the evangelical Dallas
Theological Seminary. Once
people realize its not a 6-year-
old smoking a joint, most folks
realize this is the compassion-
ate thing to do.
Peakes bill has already
earned the backing of more
than 80 state lawmakers, in-
cluding several members of
the House Republican lead-
ership, who signed on as co-
sponsors and the states larg-
est professional association
of doctors. The bill would re-
vive a long-dormant research
program allowing academic
institutions to distribute the
medical cannabis and would
be limited in scope, tightly
restricted, well regulated and
managed by doctors, Peake
said.
Alabama Rep. Mike Ball, a
retired hostage negotiator for
the State Patrol, is behind a
bill that would allow people to
possess the cannabis oil if they
have certain medical condi-
tions. It passed a key commit-
tee vote on Wednesday.
The public is starting to
understand what this is, said
Ball, who chairs a power-
ful House committee and is
a prominent voice on law en-
forcement issues. The politi-
cal fear is shifting from what
will happen if we pass it,
to might what happen if we
dont, Ball said.
The bills in Georgia and Ala-
bama still have more vetting,
and their ultimate prospects
are not certain. But what is
happening offers a strong sig-
nal of whats to come in other
states.
In Louisiana, although a bill
has yet to be introduced, a re-
cent committee hearing at the
Capitol on legalizing medical
marijuana drew a standing-
room-only crowd, and Gov.
Bobby Jindal made comments
last month indicating he was
willing to consider it.
When it comes to medi-
cal marijuana ... if there is a
legitimate medical need, Id
certainly be open to making
it available under very strict
supervision for patients that
would beneft from that,
Jindal said, according to a re-
port in The Advocate.
Technically, both Georgia
and Louisiana have laws on
the books from the 1980s
and 1990s that allow for the
use of medical marijuana, but
those programs essentially
ended before they could start.
Georgias law established the
academic research program
for those diagnosed with glau-
coma and cancer patients un-
dergoing chemotherapy and
radiation, but the program
stalled when the federal gov-
ernment stopped delivery of
legal cannabis.
Louisianas law allowed
for glaucoma and cancer pa-
tients and those suffering
from spastic quadriplegia to
receive marijuana for thera-
peutic use but regulations
to govern the program were
never developed.
The Associated Press
TOPEKA Ten months and $5,000
after it started trying to get records
from the state attorney generals offce
on the amount of money Kansas is re-
ceiving in tobacco settlement money,
Kansas Action for Children said it
still hasnt received the information it
seeks.
The nonproft agency fled a request
in May for information related to a
settlement with tobacco companies
that funnels millions of dollars into
early childhood programs, the Topeka
Capital Journal reported.
Major tobacco companies sued doz-
ens of states, arguing they had not
kept their end of the settlement in-
cluding assessing fees against smaller
tobacco companies to prevent a com-
petitive disadvantage.
Kansas and other states settled that
suit last year. Terms of the deal could
affect how much money continues to
fow from the original master settle-
ment agreement.
Most parts of the accounting
documents outlining how much Kan-
sas is estimated to receive each year
are made confdential by court or-
der, Kansas Attorney General Derek
Schmidts offce said.
But that information is of clear
public interest and critical to helping
lawmakers and the Kansas Childrens
Cabinet plan for the future of the Kan-
sas Endowment for Youth and the
Childrens Initiative Fund, said Shan-
non Cotsoradis, president and CEO of
Kansas Action for Children.
These are questions they really
should have been forthcoming about,
Cotsoradis said. Its a public settle-
ment.
Cotsoradis said her group fled an
open records request to get a better
idea of the estimated payments, but
that effort has been largely stymied.
She said in a blog post that the process
of securing open records is not free,
not easy and can be hampered by
signifcant delays.
This process underscores the chal-
lenges any organization or private
citizen will face if they attempt to ex-
ercise their right to access documents
that should be readily available to the
public, Cotsoradis wrote.
Most of the money her group has
spent to obtain the documents was for
the services of Topeka attorney Mike
Merriam, an authority on Kansas
open meetings and open records laws.
Now in its ffth version, the groups
open records request remains pending
in Shawnee County District Court.
Schmidts offce has provided hun-
dreds of pages of PriceWaterhouseC-
oopers accounting documents, but
many of them are heavily redacted.
On one page, Schmidts offce chose
to redact an email address of Price-
WaterhouseCoopers employee Ida
Thompson that is available online.
A spokesman for Schmidts offce
said he couldnt speak on pending liti-
gation.
In a letter to the chair of the Kansas
Childrens Cabinet, though, Schmidts
offce said claims it has withheld in-
formation are not true.
To the contrary, my offce has made
publicly available more information
about this dispute, and now its likely
resolution, than any previous admin-
istration, Schmidt wrote.
Agency says state slow to turn over tobacco data Fire
destroys
rural
home
Refector-Chronicle Staff
SOLOMON The oc-
cupants of a rural Solomon
home that was destroyed
by fre got out safely, said
Dickinson County Sheriff
Gareth Hoffman.
He said the fre apparent-
ly started in the chimney
at Joseph Collies house at
2379 Deer Road, Hoffman
said. emergency respond-
ers were called to the blaze
at about 7 p.m. Feb. 3.
Firefghters from Solo-
mon, Saline County Rural
Fire District No. 5 and
Grant Township respond-
ed.
Hoffman said the house
was made uninhabitable
when a major part of the
roof was burned, and
smoke and water damage
occurred throughout the
house last Monday.
Media Group just 40 minutes from the
house where she grew up.
Its really cool to that I get to be in
Kansas, doing production, she said.
I love that everyones so friendly and
nice, and you dont really get that in a
new place and a bigger town. Coming
back to a little town like Abilene and
being able to say, Im comfortable;
Im home. Im really close to my
family and my friends. I love towns
like Manhattan and Abilene. I love be-
ing in Kansas.
Though Noel said she may move to
Los Angeles or another city down the
road, for now, she is not looking for
anything beyond 502.
The people that I work with we
always have fun; were always in the
offce saying jokes and making goofy
videos, she said. And were still
growing as a company. I didnt go into
a company thats already huge I got
to kind of grow up with this com-
pany, so that makes it really cool. We
still havent reached our full potential.
We can still do awesome things, so
defnitely want to stick around.
Noel said plenty of high school ex-
periences including working under
teachers Mike Liby and Jacque Hav-
ice helped her get to where she is
today, but her passion for video start-
ed out in the sticks at age 10.
I lived in the country, so there was a
lot of boredom that went on, she said.
I would take my dads video camera
and my sister and I would make mov-
ies. Wed make music videos. Wed
do stupid movies. And we always
liked planning them and writing them.
It was super-fun.
As Noel got older, her family pur-
chased editing software so Noel could
further her video prowess.
Id invite friends over and make
them make movies with me, Noel
said. Id say, We are making this
movie.
In high school, she grew in her draw-
ing skills, and she designed several
programs for football and basketball
games. She sealed the deal as a digi-
tal artist when she asked her principal
if she could produce the senior video,
which was shown at graduation.
That was a bid deal for me because
it was in front of my entire class,
and then their parents and tons more
people, so I made myself do that, she
said. I got myself and (fellow class-
mates) Mark Sidener and Kyle Keller
who are actually in flm school, I
think and I still want to get together
with them make something, because
thatd be really cool to bring back
high school memories. That was kind
of where I decided, Yep, this is what
I want to do for the rest of my life.
Noels employer, 502 Media Group
of Manhattan, flmed a movie-style
commercial in Old Abilene Town on
Saturday and Sunday for nonproft cli-
ent Kansas Wheat Alliance.
The alliance markets wheat variet-
ies produced by K-State. The com-
mercial seeks to advertise a new breed
of wheat that is designed to grow in
northwestern Kansas.
We wrote it and came up with
the whole concept, business owner
Blade Mages said. I think when he
(Daryl Strouts, president of Kansas
Wheat Alliance) approached us, he
was probably looking for something a
little more, Heres our new product,
blah blah blah, but we took it a little
different way.
Strouts said the western theme is
perfect for the product, which is called
Oakley.
One of the unique things about this
new wheat variety is it has resistance
to a couple of diseases that are a prob-
lem one being stripe rust, and the
other being wheat streak mosaic vi-
rus so we work that into this video
project, Strouts said. Without giv-
ing everything away the bad guys
are the Rust Brothers and the hero is
Oakley.
Srouts said going with 502 was an
easy decision.
My frst introduction to them was
back when their Mask Video (another
video the group shot in Abilene), be-
cause they needed a rowboat and I had
one, Strouts said. Then, just looking
at the quality of what they put out
it just so surpasses anhyting else you
could fnd in the area.
He said there is one other X-factor
he appreciates about the small busi-
ness that is creating his commercial:
They just have a lot of youthful en-
thusiasm.

Alexis Campuzano led the
Heat with 28 points.
After the snow days, I
was a little concerned with
how we would perform

Keating said. We opened
up a little flat and after
a quarter of play righted
ourselves and were able to
secure the lead and secure
the win.
Rural Vista led 12-6 after
the first quarter and coack
Keating was able to get all
14 girls into the game and
play several minutes.
Alexis had a great offen-
sive showing and I thought
Madison Norton came in off
the bench and did a nice
job for us by displaying
good defense and con-
tributing with six points,
Keating said.

Fosters career high leads K-State
Special to Refector-Chronicle
MANHATTAN Freshman Mar-
cus Foster scored a career-high 34
points, as Kansas State dominated in
all phases in defeating No. 15/18 Texas
74-57 at Bramlage Coliseum on Satur-
day.
Foster, who became the third fresh-
man in K-State history to score more
than 30 points in a game, went 13-
of-16 from the feld, including fve
3-pointers to go with three rebounds
and three assists. Only six freshmen in
Big 12 history have scored more in a
game than Fosters 34.
His 34-point effort was the most by
a Wildcat since Jacob Pullen went for
38 against Wisconsin in the NCAA
Tournament on March 19, 2011, while
it was the most by a K-State freshman
since Michael Beasley scored 39 points
against Kansas on March 1, 2008.
The win was the 12th consecutive at
home for K-State (16-6, 6-3 Big 12),
which moved to 29-2 in home games
under head coach Bruce Weber, includ-
ing 13-1 in Big 12 play. The 12-game
home court winning streak is the lon-
gest since the team won 14 in a row
from Jan. 15, 2011 to Jan. 7, 2012.
K-State played with suffocating de-
fense, holding Texas (18-5, 7-3 Big
12) to a season-low 57 points on just
32.7 percent (18-of-55) shooting from
the feld. The Wildcats scored a season-
high 26 points off 18 turnovers, a sea-
son-high for the Longhorns. It marked
the 14th time this season that an oppo-
nent has been held to a season-low in
points, including 12th time to 60 points
or less.
It was one of those days. It was a
special day, we were in the zone, head
coach Bruce Weber said. It was the
shooting, but it is really the energy, the
excitement, and the passion.
Foster led the Wildcats from start
to fnish scoring the teams frst eight
points, including a thunderous ally-oop
dunk from Wesley Iwundu at the 16:55
mark.
Fosters performance was the 18th
time this season that he has scored in
double fgures and the sixth time in Big
12 play.

Cowboy
JV defeats
Marysville
It took nearly a quarter
for the Abilene Cowboy
junior varsity basketball
team to shake off the rust
from not playing in nearly
a month. The Cowboys
scored eight points in the
first quarter to take an
8-4 lead into the second
quarter.
The Cowboys came out
after the first quarter and
scored 62 points the rest of
the way to defeat Marys-
ville 70-23.
Justin Carroll and Jacoby
Robinson scored 12 points
each and Chase Stalder
shot in 10 for the Cowboys
as all 13 players found the
net.
It was a total team
effort, coach Tim Klein
said. We are learning how
to turn up the defense in
order to control the game.
Our intensity with our
guard play was really good
in applying pressure up
front.
Abilene out rebounded
Marysville 43-19 and the
team had 22 steals and
assists.

JUNCTION CITY The
Rural Vista boys basketball
team rolled over the St.
Xavier Rams 67-28 Friday.
Wesley Brown led the
Heat with 10 points as Ru-
ral Vista played 14 players
and 12 found the goal.
This was a good game
as we got to play a lot of
guys, coach Joel Kahnt
said. We let them get to
the free throw line too
much, but overall it was a
win.
The Heat led 23-4 after
the first quarter and 43-11
at the break. Royal Vista
never let the Warriors get
double digit point in any
quarter and they outscored
the team from Junction City
24-17 in the second half.
St. Xavier was 10 of 18
from the free throw line
while the Heat made 1 0f 5
attempts.
We have five games left
and we will need to bring
a great effort next week
against Goessell, Kahnt
said. We are looking for-
ward to getting back in the
gym for practice to prepare
for the stretch run.
The Heat plays at Goessel
Tuesday night.

Cowboys bounce Bulldogs 57-29
By RON PRESTON
Ron.preston@abilene-rc.com
The Abilene Cowboys wasted little
time shaking off the rust following a
13-day absence from the court due to
weather postponements.
The Cowboys used a strong frst
quarter with a near fawless transition
offense and stifing defense to defeat
the Marysville Bulldogs 57-29 in
front of a large hometown crowd Fri-
day night.
We played pretty well tonight,
coach Terry Taylor said. We got out
and ran in our transition and our frst
quarter was excellent. We played some
very good transition basketball.
Abilene ran out to a 20-3 frst quarter
lead against Marysville 20-3.
Sophomore Eric Harms, getting his
frst varsity start of the season, scored
eight points in the frst period. Harms
hit three inside feld goals, two off
assists from Tanner Hoekman, and a
pair of free-throw with less than 30
seconds in the period.
I thought the defense was excel-
lent in the frst quarter, Taylor said.
Their kids were kind of shellshocked
by our defensive pressure. We helped
well on our screens, rotated well and
rebounded well tonight.
Senior Keil Kelly led the Cowboys
with eight points in the second quarter
to help Abilene to a 33-12 lead at the
break.
In the frst meeting of the season at
Marysville, the Bulldogs slowed the
games pace and the Cowboys scored
only 36 points , winning by one point.
We didnt get out of the gate in tran-
sition up there, Taylor said. The full
court game became a half-court game.
We would walk the ball up the foor
and miss a good shot and they would
go down, make 20 passes before they
would shoot, wed miss again and the
next thing you know we were playing
defense in the game.
Tonight, we were able to get a lead,
get the momentum. That creates a
faster much more up-tempo game.
That is what we like to play and obvi-
ously a much better result.
The Cowboys outscored the Bull-
dogs 24-17 in the second half behind
nine points from senior Jesse Patrick,
who connected on Abilenes only
three of the game and went 4-for-5 at
the free throw line in the third quarter.
Patrick and Kelly led the Cowboys
in scoring with 15 points each.
Kelly and Patrick were solid to-
night, Taylor said. I am very proud
of our two young starters tonight. For
the frst time ever, Eric and Ryan (Wil-
son). They were a little nervous but
they went in and played solid as well.
Abilene was able to substitute at will
throughout the contest as all 12 Cow-
boys saw action.
The Cowboys improved to 9-5 on
the season and 4-1 in conference play.
The Cowboys travel to play Silver
Lake Tuesday before returning home
on Friday to face Wamego.
Silver Lake has a solid program in
3A, Taylor said. This will be a good
challenge for us. They have a college
ranked foor up there. Well prepare
Monday and then go up there and give
a good effort. We need to keep the mo-
mentum going because we return on
Friday to host Wamego and then the
next two weeks will be really tough as
we play three games a week to make
up the postponed games.

Bulldogs rally to defeat Cowgirls 54-45
By RON PRESTON
ron.preston@abilene-rc.com
The 10th ranked team in
3A, the Marysville Bulldogs
rallied in the fourth quarter to
nab a come-from-behind 54-
45 victory over the Abilene
Cowgirls in a North Central
Kansas League game Friday.
Sophomore Belle Barbieri
scored eight of Abilenes 10
points in the opening quarter
to keep the score within three
13-10.
We missed opportunities,
coach Janelle Geist said. We
missed layups and we didnt
rebound well.
Early foul trouble by
Abilenes inside shooters,
Barbieri and Nichole Taylor,
forced the Cowgirls to rely
on perimeter scoring and the
play of substitutes Jessica
Hayes and Ashley Collette in
the second quarter.
Freshman McKenzie Fun-
ston and senior Courtney
Geist found Collette inside
for two baskets while they
each netted an outside jumper.
Geist, Funston, Taylor
Thompson and Hayes played
aggressive defense against the
Bulldogs enticing turnovers,
missed shots and grabbing
rebounds to lead the Cowgirls
to a 23-20 halftime lead.
Courtney does a really nice
job defensively, Geist said.
She uses every inch of her
body for her advantage.
The Bulldogs (11-3), found
themselves in an unusual po-
sition by trailing at halftime.
Following the intermission
they adjusted their defense
to sink their two best players
inside against Barbieri and
Taylor.
Tristin Wicks and Abi De-
genhardt scored a combined
22 points in the second half to
lead the Bulldogs.
Funston took control in the
third period for the Cowgirls
and scored 11 of her game-
high 19 points. Funston
drained a corner trey, three
jumpers and hit both of her
freethrows.
McKenzie had a nice
game, Geist said. She
is fguring it out. We have
done a lot of talking to her
about looking for shots. Even
though she is a freshman, we
need her to step up on the of-
fensive end and also on the
defensive end. She did a re-
ally nice job tonight.
The Cowgirls lead grew
to fve points, 29-24, follow-
ing a Taylor jumper at the
5:32 mark in the third period.
However, Taylor and Barbieri
found themselves back on the
bench after each picked up
their third foul moments later.
Geist hit a jumper from the
top of the key with 3:07 left to
maintain the fve-point lead.
The Bulldogs went on an 8-3
run following Funstons trey
to tie the game 36-36 with
just over two minutes left in
the third.
Following a Cowgirl time-
out Funston hit a baseline
jumper to give the Cowgirls a
38-36 lead going into the fnal
period.
The fnal period saw the
Lady Bulldogs rally on an 8-7
run to lead 45-44 with 3:01
left in regulation. Coming out
of a Marysville timeout, the
Bulldogs used another 9-1
run to go up 51-44 with just
over a minute in the game.
Our two bigs got their
fourth foul early in the fourth
quarter, Gesit said. We had
to substitute in and then they
got a lead and never relin-
quished it.
Seven of the nine points
came from the charity stripe
as the Cowgirls had to foul
to save the clock. The game
ended at the free throw line as
Marysville hit three of six and
Hayes hit one for the Cow-
girls to make the fnal 54-45.
When you get into a fouling
game and they make their free
throws they need to make,
Geist said. We missed ours,
I know we missed at least
four in the fourth guarter. We
didnt capitalize on opportu-
nities that we had at the end
of the game.
Marysville, who sets in
second place in the league
behind undefeated Wamego,
won the frst game at Marys-
ville 55-45.
The Cowgirls travel to Sil-
ver Lake on Tuesday and then
return home Friday to host the
defending 4A state champion
Wamego Red Raiders on Fri-
day.
