GRANDVIEW PLAZA — While looking at a shiny Jaguar XK-E Inside a cool ware-house filled with antique cars, D.E. Lacer took a trip down memory lane.
“It’s such a good-looking car,” Lacer said the vehicles he purchased with his own money years ago while in high school.
Lacer said experts consider it a “work of art.” One of those Jaguar sports cars currently sits in a Smithsonian museum for all to see.
But there’s one vehicle car lovers world-wide won’t find in a museum — the cus-tom Manta Ray. If they want to see it, they’ll have to turn on their TVs and watch “Chasing Classic Cars.”
The show’s host, Wayne Carini, recent-ly visited the Grandview Plaza warehouse with a film crew to showcase the car with a handmade fiberglass body. It was cus-tom-made by two aeronautical engineers in California in the 1950s and built on a modified 1951 Studebaker chassis.
The designers planned to produce more models, but that work never happened. Still, they received recognition for their more than 4,000 hours of work. During a Los Angeles auto show in 1954, the engi-neers received a trophy and a cash prize from a local newspaper.
Thereafter, the car with a jet plane-like front was sold to auto dealer Bob Yeakel. DE’s father, L.L. Lacer, acquired it in 1959.
“You’ll never see another one,” D.E. said. “That’s the only one in the world.
One of a kind

One of the sure signs of economic prosperity are new houses popping up around a town. Take a drive through Junction City and it’s obvious this town’s housing market has seen better days.
Compared to national trends, Junction City is an exception.
Recent data from the United States Census Bureau shows an estimated 617,200 building permits for single-family residences were issued across the coun-try in 2013 — almost 100,000 higher than any year since 2007, during which 979,900 permits were issued.
Junction City’s code department issued just 48 single-family home build-ing permits in 2013 — its lowest amount since 2007.
In 2012, Junction City issued 112 sin-gle-family residence building permits. The city issued 110 in 2011 and 126 in 2010.
Economic Development Commission Chair Ben Kitchens said three factors may have combined to create Junction City’s significant dropoff.
“Number one, the demand for housing has dropped,” he said.
That’s true even for current homes, said Century 21 Gold Team broker John Summers, who operates out of an office in Junction City.
“The market’s off anywhere from seven to 10 percent in number of trans-actions,” he said, comparing 2013 to 2012 figures.
The second factor involves Junction City’s neighbors directly to the east.
“Number two, (Corvias Military Liv-ing) is building a lot of housing on Fort Riley, as they always plan to,” Kitchens said. “But with the deployments and the amount of troops on the ground ... they’re going to fill their stuff up first before we get other housing.”
Corvias, formerly Picerne Military Housing, builds rental units at Fort Riley.
The amount of residences the contrac-tor has built or plans to build soon has raised a few eyebrows in Junction City.
“That’s why there’s been a lot of con-cern about the number of rooftops put up out at Fort Riley, even though they told us they were going to do all that,” Kitchens said. “Driving out there and seeing all of them, it’s very concerning when you start thinking about all the people that live there that maybe could live in Junction City.”
Junction City’s third problem, Kitch-ens said, is more in-house.
“We’re getting ourselves down to where the majority of the lots have high specials on them,” he said, referring to assessments. “And it just makes it cost prohibitive to take a chance to build a house to sell somebody and the buyer’s going to have $200 to $250 a month in specials to pay.”
Summers believes Junction City’s
market for current homes could rebound. He said one reason is because the avail-able houses are of high quality.
“We think that it’s going to be a tre-mendous spring,” he said. “We think that there’s going to be a tremendous amount of positive things going on around the community, around the area.”
There also are some positive signs to take from last year.
“The very comforting part of that is our higher-end products — $170,000 to $250,000 — are holding their value com-fortably,” Summers said.
On the other hand, the lull in new home construction still has quite a few people trying to explain the problem and identify a solution.
Some business owners, especially those in the construction and building trade, would like to find a fix sooner
Housing market up, but not for JC
Tim Weideman • The Daily UnionHome construction sites in Junction City, such as this one on Foxtail Court, appeared quiet Monday afternoon as crews worked either indoors or took the day off due to cold temperatures. The lack of much activity was fitting for a town that came off a dismal 2013 for single-family home building permits.

Grandview Plaza residents have the opportu-nity in today’s sale tax to mark their ballots to either change a tax or keep it the same.
The vote is regarding a percent increase of the existing retailers’ sales tax, which current-ly is set at one percent.
Funds will be used to improve and maintain public streets.
It will also be used for other general govern-mental purpos-es.
If approved, the changes will begin June 30 and end June 30, 2019.
Geary County Clerk Rebecca Bossemeyer said only registered voters in the city of Grandview Plaza can par-ticipate. Voters are required to bring photo identification.
There currently are 500 registered voters. According to the clerk’s office, two people came in for early voting and three ballots were mailed.
“We encourage people to vote,” Bossemeyer said.

Photo by Amanda Kim StairrettDr. Casey Thomas, a Junction City veterinarian, was named the 1st Infantry Division’s and Fort Riley’s newest Distinguished Trooper dur-ing a ceremony Jan. 24 at Fort Riley. The Distinguished Trooper award is the most prestigious honor that can be bestowed on a private citizen by post officials. It is given to recognize sustained, superior public service and contributions to the Fort Riley military community by private citizens. Thomas is active in a multitude of community activities. He supports Kansans for Strong Fort Riley, where he was a 10-year board member. He is also a member of the Old Trooper Regiment and Society of the 1st Infantry Division.

1st Infantry Division Public Affairs
TOPEKA – It wasn’t a policy, politi-cal stance or promise of legislation that kept Kansans on their feet the longest Jan. 15, but, instead, the pres-ence of two of their own in the capi-tol.
Capt. Adam Cowan and Capt. Casey Wolfe were special guests of Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback at the State of the State address.
The speech was part of the new legislative session, which officially opened last week.
Cowan is a native of Overland Park and serves as the assistant plans offi-cer in the 4th Infantry Brigade Com-bat Team, 1st Infantry Division Wolfe is a native of Tribune and served in the 4th Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regi-ment, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, before taking command of the Commanding General’s Mounted Color Guard.
Brownback said Cowan and Wolfe were “wonderful examples of what it means to be a Kansan.
“Kansas has a long and distin-guished relationship with our nation’s military,” the governor said, before recognizing and thanking the cap-tains.
The senators, representatives and other officials who filled the state-house agreed, giving the two a lengthy standing ovation.
Cowan and Wolfe not only repre-sented Kansas service members and the “Big Red One,” but also wounded warriors.
Cowan was serving as the com-mander of Company D, 2nd Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment, 4th IBCT, 1st Infantry Division, on Aug. 21, 2012, in Ghazni Province, Afghanistan. He and his Soldiers were on a two-day mission to gather information from locals about Taliban activity in the area when a firefight broke out.
The 2006 Kansas State University graduate took a bullet to the right leg, which broke his fibula, severed his nerves and destroyed an artery before exiting. After months of surgeries and rehabilitation, Cowan was fitted with an experimental brace called the Intrepid Dynamic Exoskeleton Orthotic.
Wolfe was on a dismounted patrol Dec. 18, 2011, in Central Zhari District, Afghanistan, when he stepped on a pressure-plated improvise explosive device armed with more than 10 pounds of explosives. He flew 20 feet in the air “like a rocket,” ending up 30 feet from the crater on his back.
Although he wasn’t bleeding and remained conscious after the blast, it
was later discovered he broke every bone bellow his left knee. Wolfe was given the option of amputation or an experimental limb salvage surgery.
He chose the surgery, and with it came 15 surgeries and hundreds of hours of rehabilitation. He also wears the IDEO.
Cowan and Wolfe said they were honored to be recognized during the State of the State address.
They also met with Brownback in his office before the speech.
“Obviously, the biggest honor was meeting the governor in his office just minutes before he began his address,” Cowan said, “and to share some of his thoughts on Afghanistan and Iraq, the Army’s relationship with Manhat-tan and Junction City, and what it means to be a Kansan.”
Brownback was named a Distin-guished Trooper in July at Fort Riley.
The award, the most prestigious that can be bestowed on a private citi-zen by post officials, is given to recog-nize sustained, superior public ser-vice and contributions to the Fort Riley military community by private citizens.
“In Kansas, we honor our veter-ans,” Brownback said during his address. “We remember their service with gratitude and are humbled by their commitment to this great nation.

The mission of the Housing Services Office, or HSO, is to provide hous-ing assistance to soldiers coming to and departing from Fort Riley.
“Our primary goal is to ensure that Soldiers get safe, affordable and ade-quate housing off post,” said HSO’s Chief, Elbert Newman.
Whether coming from Fort Hood, Texas, or mov-ing to Germany, Newman said the HSO can help Sol-diers look for rental prop-erties, file paperwork and more.
“A big concept of the HSO now is a global com-munity,” he said. “The biggest thing is, before (soldiers) rent something … check it out with us.”
The office can reach out directly to landlords to inquire about specific properties and conduct inspections of off-post rental properties.
“Our inspection is basic health and safety, to make sure the home is safe to live in (and) everything works,” Newman said.
HSO personnel also look for fraud indicators to help protect Soldiers.
“We frequently catch cases of rental fraud,” Newman said.
If a property looks too good to be true, chances are it is, he said. An entic-ingly low rent might be for a building far away, cost-ing the Soldier more in gas money; or might be in an older building, costing more in heating and cool-ing.
HSO staff can help sol-diers evaluate their options.
Additionally, HSO can help mediate landlord-ten-ant disputes and investi-gate complaints as an impartial and objective entity.
Rental resourcesIn the past, HSO relied
on the Automated Hous-ing Referral Network, or AHRN, for property list-ings.
However, AHRN is no longer sponsored by the
Department of Defense and is now on par with other commercially avail-able websites like Rent.com, SargesList.com, Craigslist.com, Apart-mentFinder.com, Milita-ryByOwner.com, Trulia.com and more, where any-one can list properties.
HSO can however help Soldiers research specific listings found on such sites to help avoid fraud, conduct inspections and more.
“If you find (a listing) we didn’t give you, come check it out with us,” he said.
A new rental listing solution specifically for the military population is expected to launch in the summer.
In the meantime, Sol-diers can consult www.emh.housing.navy.mil beginning Feb. 2.
Buying a homeHSO can assist Soldiers
interested in purchasing a home.
“In addition to (multiple listing service), we’ve got a local home guide,” New-man said. “We’ve got lists of all the local realtors.”
Although the office can-not make recommenda-tions on specific realtors, it can provide guidance on the process of buying a home.
HSO also offers home-buying seminars.
Topics covered in the past have included infor-mation about the local housing market, mortgage types, available loan pro-grams, interest rates, title searches, home inspec-tions and more.
The date of the next seminar has not been set yet. Those interested are asked to check with the office for future times.
Renting a propertyFor soldiers considering
renting out their own property, HSO has resources available for that as well.
“A lot of Soldiers leav-ing Fort Riley own a home here, and … they turn it into a rental. A lot of them think they can (deploy) and manage their rental property from there.
HSO offers help with buying homes, renting properties

Glenn Mitchell Bullock, a lifetime resident of the Junc-tion City community, passed away at his home in Junc-tion City on Jan. 25, 2014 at the age of 67.

ated from Junction City High School with the class of 1965.
He married Joanne Marie Dudek, the love of his life, on April 12, 1985. She preceded him in death on Dec. 14, 1989.
He worked as a driver for Edwards Trucking, and then worked for George Meyers from 1973-1987.
He worked for Konza Construction from 1987-1991, and Bill Pugh as an excavator using heavy equipment.
He worked for Haslett Tree Service until his retire-ment.

LOS ANGELES — Eric Lawson, a working actor who portrayed the Marlboro Man in cigarette ads dur-ing the late 1970s, has died.
He was 72.
Lawson’s wife, Susan Lawson, said Sunday that her husband died Jan. 10 at his California home.
The cause was respiratory failure due to chronic obstructive pulmo-nary disease, or COPD.
The ruggedly handsome Lawson
portrayed the smoking cowboy in Marlboro print ads from 1978 to 1981. He also had bit parts in such TV shows as “Baretta” and “Charlie’s Angels” before injuries sustained on the set of a Western film ended his acting career.

NEWS TO KNOW
WASHINGTON — Most Americans are unim-pressed with President Barack Obama’s efforts to restore trust in government in the wake of disclosures about secret surveillance programs that swept up the phone records of hundreds of millions in the United States.
And Americans are increasingly placing per-sonal privacy ahead of being kept safe from terror-ists, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll. More than 60 percent of respondents said they value privacy over anti-terror protections.
That’s up slightly from 58 percent in a similar poll in August conducted by the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
Obama has been fighting to regain public trust after a former National Security Agency analyst last year revealed some of the intel-ligence community’s most well-kept secrets about spy-ing on Americans.
The U.S. public, Congress and allies overseas were shocked to learn the extent of the NSA’s post-9/11 sur-veillance, including the dragnet collection and stor-age of Americans’ phone records. Soon after Edward Snowden’s disclosure in June, Obama promised to review the system that has changed rapidly as technol-ogy improved.
Last week the president announced he was placing new limits on the way the intelligence community accesses phone records from hundreds of millions of Americans. He said he was moving toward eventu-ally stripping the massive data collection from the government’s hands. And he called for a panel of advocates to represent pri-vacy and civil liberty con-cerns before the secret court that oversees the sur-veillance programs.
But the poll found that was not enough to allay most Americans’ concerns. Nearly 60 percent of respon-dents said they disapprove of the way Obama is han-dling intelligence surveil-lance policies. And 61 per-cent said they prioritize protecting Americans’ rights and freedoms over making sure Americans are safe from terrorists.
Only 34 percent support Obama’s plan to create a panel of outside attorneys to offer an opposing argu-ment to the government before the Foreign Intelli-gence Surveillance Court. And just 17 percent of those polled support moving the data the government col-
lects about telephone calls outside of government hands.
In an effort to be more transparent, the intelli-gence community has declassified thousands of pages of documents related to the secret programs, including stinging rebukes from judges about the NSA’s violation of some of the program’s rules.
But Americans are split on whether the government should publicly justify its surveillance programs to prove they don’t violate civil rights.
Some 49 percent said keeping the details of the programs secret is more important than justifying their legality. Most people under 30 said it’s more important to disclose the details of the programs, while most Americans age 65 or over said the U.S. intel-ligence gathering details should remain secret.
Most Americans said Snowden was wrong to dis-close these classified pro-grams. Younger Americans are more apt to support what Snowden, 30, did. Snowden fled the country before his revelations became public. He is cur-rently living in Russia, granted temporary asylum from the criminal charges he faces in the United States for disseminating classified information.
A government review panel warned last week that the NSA’s daily collec-tion of Americans’ phone records is illegal and rec-ommended that Obama abandon the program and destroy the hundreds of millions of phone records it has already collected.
The recommendations by the Privacy and Civil Liber-ties Oversight Board go fur-ther than Obama is willing to accept and increase pres-sure on Congress to make changes.
The AP-GfK Poll was conducted Jan. 17-21 using KnowledgePanel, GfK’s probability-based online panel. It involved online interviews with 1,060 adults.
The survey has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.9 percentage points for all respondents.
Those respondents who did not have Internet access before joining the panel were provided it for free.
Bomb suspect was awarded National
Defense medalWICHITA — A Kansas
man accused of plotting a suicide bomb attack at a Wichita airport is a former Marine who was awarded the National Defense Ser-vice Medal.
The Associated Press obtained the military records of avionics techni-cian Terry L. Loewen through a Freedom of Information Act request.
Loewen was arrested Dec. 13, accused of trying to drive a van carrying what he thought was a bomb onto the tarmac at Wichita Mid-Continent Airport. Charges include attempted material support to al-Qaida.
The National Defense Service Medal is awarded for honorable military ser-vice during a designated combat time. Loewen’s mil-itary service briefly spanned the Vietnam War period.
Loewen was on active duty for training in 1974. He served in the Marine Corps Reserves from 1973 to 1982, reaching the rank of ser-geant.
Fire district treasurer pleads guilty to theft
TOPEKA — A former treasurer of a rural Kansas fire district has pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $425,000 from the dis-trict and has agreed to pay the money back.
Richard Bontrager of Holton pleaded guilty on Monday to one count of embezzlement. He admitted that from 2008 to 2012 he stole money from the May-etta fire district by issuing checks with forged signa-tures to a fictitious compa-ny and depositing the money into his account.
The 67-year-old also admitted falsifying loan documents obligating the fire district to make month-ly lease payments on a Polaris Ranger and 1988 Chevrolet 1-ton brush truck.
Prosecutors have said the thefts left the district unable to pay its bills.
He faces up to 10 years in federal prison and a $250,000
fine when he’s sentenced April 14.
Two California men sentenced in Kansas
cargo heist caseWICHITA — A California
man who tried to steal a truckload of beef from a southwest Kansas slaughter-house was sentenced Mon-day to a year and a day in federal prison.
Oganes Nagapetian was sentenced to the prison term, followed by two years of supervised release, for con-spiracy to commit interstate shipment fraud. His brother, Tigran Nagapetian, received a probationary one-year sen-tence for the less-serious crime of hiding a felony for lying to authorities and con-cealing his brother’s actions. Both men are from North Hollywood, Calif.
In an unusual twist for a federal case in Kansas, U.S. District Judge Monti Belot allowed Oganes Nagapetian while on supervision in Cali-fornia to continue to use marijuana for a medical pur-pose, noting such use was legal in that state. Unlawful use of other controlled sub-stances would remain a pro-bation violation, the judge said.
The brothers are accused of trying to steal nearly $88,000 worth of beef from Tyson Fresh Meats in Hol-comb by posing as legitimate freight haulers.
Prosecutors have said the case exemplifies a relatively new form of identity theft in which the perpetrators steal the identity of a legitimate trucking company — usually a smaller independent haul-er — to obtain freight haul-ing contracts. The govern-ment initially accused the men of stealing the identity of a Pennsylvania freight hauler to get the contract to pick up the meat from the Kansas slaughterhouse, but reached a plea deal in Novem-ber on the lesser charges.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Brent Anderson told the judge at the sentencing hear-ing that the government has not fully gotten to the bottom of what it contends is a sophisticated cargo theft scheme, but agreed that Oga-nes Nagapetian was not “the brains behind” the opera-tion.
Court documents say the Kansas plan was foiled after a suspicious Ohio freight broker — who had been vic-timized by a similar scheme a few months earlier — noticed discrepancies in the trucking firm’s insurance and called the FBI. At the FBI’s request, the broker awarded the hauling bid to the impostors.
Law enforcement had them under surveillance when they dropped off a refrigerated truck at the Kansas slaughterhouse for loading.
Woman held in Florida linked to
Kansas deathLAWRENCE — A 19-year-
old Lawrence woman was charged Monday with first-degree murder in the death of a businessman whose home she shared.
Sarah Brooke Gonzales McLinn had been the sub-ject of a search since the body of 52-year-old Harold Sasko was found Jan. 17.
Lawrence Police Chief Tarik Khatib said Monday that park rangers found McLinn on Sunday camp-ing in Everglades National Park in Florida. McLinn was in federal custody in Homestead, Fla. Federal charges of illegally camp-ing at the park and being in possession of a controlled substance were to be dropped.
Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said McLinn will be extra-dited to Kansas and make her first appearance on the murder charge.

Another viewStopping sexual assault
The following editorial appeared in the Los Angeles Times on Friday, Jan. 24
President Obama’s creation of a federal task force to combat sexual assault on college cam-puses drives home the urgency of this compli-
cated nationwide problem. But it will take more than a few meetings and a punchy final report to address it effectively.
The obstacles facing victims of sexual violence are numerous. Too many schools have failed to take their complaints seriously or to treat them with respect and sympathy. Some schools have sought to sweep problems under the rug, by underreporting assaults to the federal government or by failing to take action against perpetrators. Title IX, the federal antidis-crimination law, requires investigations of assault allegations, yet in California alone, Southern Cal, Occidental College and UC Berkeley are alleged to have discouraged victims from reporting assaults. In some cases, victims themselves are reluctant to report to the police.
A White House report said 22 million women and girls in the United States have been sexually assault-ed, mostly by men they know; campuses, it said, are particularly risky.
Simply by establishing a task force, the president has raised the profile of the problem. But now the panel needs to grapple with issues of campus preven-tion, tougher on-school policies toward offenders and stricter enforcement of those policies. Among other things, campuses need mandatory educational pro-gramming for incoming students.
Studies show rapists on campuses are often repeat offenders. The task force could examine how cam-puses can make sure that someone found by authori-ties to be responsible for rape is expelled — not sus-pended, not given community service. At the same time, the panel could help colleges find the impor-tant but tricky balance between vigorously pursuing sexual assault allegations and ensuring the rights of the accused.
Perhaps the biggest challenge for colleges, and therefore for the task force, is to figure out how to change the culture on campuses.
Bystanders need to be encouraged to stop a situa-tion from escalating into an assault. Male and female students alike need to realize that sexual assault is not a drunken miscommunication but a violent act that must not be tolerated.
Being out-conservativedNobody expected a reception to
honor dolphins, but the crowd at the Kansas Republican Party
state convention in Wichita last week-end was more conservative than it has been in decades ... and even conserva-tives were being out-conservatived most of the celebratory weekend.
There was three-term U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins of the northeast Kansas 2nd District — and who is now dean of the state’s U.S. House delegation — who picked up a primary election opponent at the GOP love fest.
Freshman State Sen. Steve Fitzger-ald, R-Leavenworth, announced his candidacy to defeat Jenkins, creating a GOP primary election. He linked Jen-kins to the U.S. House leadership led by Rep. John Boehner of Ohio. That lead-ership link — Jenkins often is seen standing by Boehner at press confer-ences — made her too moderate for Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald, who ran twice for the Senate before winning the seat in 2012 — with the help of a $1,000 campaign contribution from Jenkins — believes that a vote on an immigration bill in the House will come later than expect-ed, essentially insulating its Republi-can supporters from retribution at the polls.
The result for the GOP brand name?
Another primary election in which its members burn up money that they might need at the general election to retain the party’s majority in the U.S. House, where the numbers are the key, more important than their political leanings. It’s the R behind their names that is what the party generically is after, while the political shadings are important to the feisty conservatives and ultra-conservatives.
But for the plugged-in at the GOP weekend at Wichita’s Hyatt Regency, the Fitzgerald announcement was the smaller possible bump to a unified party.
The insiders were holding their breath to learn whether former 8-term 4th District Republican U.S. Rep. Todd Tiahrt, now the party’s Republican National Committeeman after losing the Senate primary election to now-U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., would run for Congress again.
Remember the epic, party-shaking 2010 fight between Tiahrt and Moran for the Senate seat that Sam Brown-back abandoned to successfully seek the governorship?
The anxiety was whether Tiahrt would use the biggest gathering of Republicans this year to announce he is running for the Wichita-centric 4th District — challenging two-term U.S. Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Kan.
After a weekend of party insiders holding their breath, facing a high-lev-el, expensive, money-from-the-general-diverting primary election, Tiahrt said he was still thinking it over.
The Fitzgerald-Jenkins race? It would cost a fraction of a Tiahrt-Pompeo race, if one occurs.
And for the party, every dollar spent in Republican vs. Republican fights is a dollar not spent against Democrats, whether at the federal or Statehouse level.
Because we don’t figure it will be spent to comfort dolphins.

Letter to the EditorHelp for local businesses
To the Editor:
I have gone to many of the meetings of the Junc-tion City Commission and the 475 School Board over the last couple of years, and one thing has
stood out about the leadership of Junction City and the USD 475 schools.
It is easy to get any one of the elected officials (school, city or county) of this community to agree with the statement, “We depend too much on Fort Riley and we need to bring more business to the area so that we can increase our independence.”
I also agree with the statement. “Fort Riley is a very good neighbor,” and I really want the school district, Junction City and Geary County to strength-en that relationship.
But the real truth is, the federal government can decide whenever it wants to close Fort Riley, without the consent of Fort Riley and with no input from the surrounding communities. Since most people under-stand this is true, why do our leaders make it so hard for local businesses to expand? That is, expand and grow the community, thereby decreasing our depen-dency on Fort Riley.
Some recent examples of making things difficult are:
• It took many months for Dick Edwards to receive permission form Geary County, Junction City and USD 475 to build his new facilities
• It took a very public outcry for Junction City to decide to let a developer build a few new homes on McFarland Road
• After months of discussion, permission was denied to reopen an old rock quarry
• And permission was denied to build a privacy fence so a businessman could park cars out of sight.
Each of these and many more examples exist of local people trying to create new jobs in the commu-nity and then running into very real road blocks.
What is most important about all this is that we as a community continue to be taxed, and will be taxed for many more years, to pay for out of town people who came here with big promises that our elected officials believed. Promises that never came true; Jupiter, Eden Space and Ventria Bioscience to name a few.
Something is wrong with the strategy being applied by our community’s elected officials. To me, it seems that more help should be given to local busi-nesses, and a little more scrutiny should be given to companies coming to town.

Actions show truth — Part 2By Tom moxley
State Representative
Editor’s Note: This is the second of two parts of this column.
School finance lawsuitThe 800 pound gorilla in
the room is the school finance lawsuit, known as the Gannon case. The Kan-sas Supreme Court decision could come any time. A lower court ruled, “... the State’s K-12 educational sys-tem now stands as unconsti-tutionally underfunded.” The court took Governor Brownback and the legisla-ture to task for cutting edu-cation spending while also cutting individual income taxes, saying:
“It seems completely illog-ical that the State can argue that a reduction in educa-tion funding was necessitat-ed by the downturn in the economy and the state’s diminishing resources and at the same time cut taxes further ...”
If the Kansas Supreme Court upholds that decision, the price tag to fix things would be over $440 million, putting the state’s ending balance for FY 2015 over $100 million in the red. Under this scenario Kansas would be broke in one year not two. There is some discussion about defying the court, but the court has many tools at its disposal.
Also in the education bud-get mix is Governor Sam Brownback’s call to fund all day kindergarten. His pro-posed adjustment to the FY 2015 budget was an addition-al $16.3 million to provide for the implementation of all-day kindergarten statewide. The vast majority of Kansas school districts already offer all-day kindergarten using local funding or at a cost to the household.
CorrectionsThe 2013 Legislature cut
$5.6 million from the FY 2014 Corrections spending plan that the Governor was forced to accept.
That reduction resulted in elimination or downsizing of many local diversion and community corrections pro-grams. A number of local governments picked up the cost of those programs, fur-ther shifting the responsibil-ity for paying to local prop-erty tax.
On a related note, because our state prison system is over capacity and due to a recent change in the law, our county jails must accept state prisoners. County administrators say the reim-bursement for those state prisoners does not cover actual expenses. That has also had the effect of shift-ing state costs to local prop-erty taxpayers.
Higher educationThe furor over the 2013
Kansas Legislature’s cuts to higher education caused Governor Brownback and Senate President Susan Wagle (R-Wichita) to admit they were a mistake that will have to be rectified. That was then, but now seven months later there is little in the Governor’s budget to antae up on this promise. At the end of the 2013 session, the Chair of the Kansas Board of Regents, Tim Emert of Independence said the cuts, “are damaging and in direct conflict with the pro-growth strategies, ideas, and desires of the Governor and the Kansas Board of Regents.” All six Kansas public universities increased tuition as a result.
TransportationShould the Kansas
Supreme Court order more money for K-12 education, it seems likely the “Bank of KDOT” could be tapped once again. Already the Governor is pulling $200 million (17 percent of total) annually out of KDOT to fund school buses and a sundry needs. Oh yes, and Kansas is still
issuing bonds while taking dollars out of KDOT. Fur-ther transfers of money from transportation to the state general fund will defi-nitely have an impact on already proposed and urgently needed transporta-tion maintenance and new build projects.
Bioscience Authority Funding
At one time, the Kansas Bioscience Authority had a budget of over $35 million a year. That money was to be used to grow the bioscience sector of the state’s econo-my. The budget is now about $4 million.
Elimination of the mortgage registration fee
The fee, which averages about $450, is collected by county register of deeds. The Kansas Bankers Asso-ciation and Kansas Associa-tion of Realtors are seeking repeal of the legislation. Counties are gearing up to fight the elimination, said to translate into between one and three mills of property tax.

Dear Annie: I’m 46 years old, college educated, with no children
I recently celebrated my 20th wedding anniversary.
It’s not what I would call a good marriage.
My husband occasionally has fits of anger and has been verbally abusive.
More than eight years ago, I had a miscarriage.
My husband wanted to keep trying.
He repeatedly has said that he can’t imagine a life without children.
I told him that having children is not going to hap-pen, and that if he wants a divorce over this, I won’t fight him.
He is welcome to find someone else to have chil-dren with.
What I did not tell him is that soon after the miscar-riage, I started taking birth control pills and continue to do so.
I feel guilty that I might have misled him in that he may think there is a chance for children, although
I would hope that at my age he would be past that. My question is: Should I tell him about the birth con-trol? I’m not sure what it would accomplish.
I’m afraid of his reaction to finding out, and divorce terrifies me. — Torn Between What Is Right and What Is Safe
Dear Torn: Regardless of what you may have told your husband eight years ago, if you allowed him to have the impression that you were willing to get preg-nant again, then obviously, you have been dishonest.
This was grossly unfair to him.
But you cannot undo the past, and with your hus-band’s anger issues, we can understand why there seems no point in telling him now.
But a marriage that isn’t good to begin with is not likely to get better without professional assistance.
Decide whether divorce terrifies you so much that you are willing to live like this for another 40 years.
Dear Annie: My hus-band’s sister chooses not to take turns hosting family get-togethers.
She has a beautiful home, but claims she does not have any “social living space.”
She lives next door to her parents, so either they host, or we do it at our home. Her parents even host her chil-dren’s birthday parties. She just gets to show up.
There is a lot of time, energy, planning, prepara-tion and cost associated with having everyone over, and I feel she should recip-rocate.
However, my husband and in-laws do not see this as a problem.
Am I asking too much?
— Olympia, Wash.Dear Olympia: You are
right that your sister-in-law should reciprocate, but it doesn’t matter.
She isn’t going to do it. Your choice is simply which get-togethers you host and which belong to your in-laws.
If you remove your sister-in-law from the hosting equation, you will be less resentful.
You can cut back on the number of times you do this or ask your sister-in-law to reciprocate by cooking a dish or bringing the appe-tizers, but you cannot force her to open her home.
Dear Annie: I want to thank “Still Suffering” for the gut-wrenching letter she wrote about being abused by her uncle.
Any of us who have lived for years with the feelings of guilt and shame caused by being molested by a rela-tive could have written that letter.
When I was 10, I was molested by my older broth-er for several years.
I am now in my 70s and have never fully recovered from the damage it caused.
For years, I kept my filthy little secret.
Last year, my brother died, and I did not go to his memorial service.
Since then, I have told several family members.
None of them was sur-prised, and all were sup-portive of me.
Although I am over-whelmed with the love and support, I will take this scar to my grave.
I hope that others who are victims of molesters will seek help and speak up early and not wait for the pervert to be out of their lives forever. — Feeling Better Now

ARIES (March 21—April 19). You’ll be asked to contribute to or improve upon a group project. This is dangerous territory politically. Be diplomatic. If you have to change someone’s work, offer praise and positive words to offset the possible slight.
TAURUS (April 20—May 20). You’ll be presenting your work to the world. Avoid trying to turn your friends and family into your fans. Chances are your offerings will be best appreciated by people you don’t yet know.
GEMINI (May 21—June 21). It’s good to feel respected, especially by the people whose opinions matter most to you. But if you aren’t getting the signs of respect you deserve, stay the course. Eventually, you’ll get your due.
CANCER (June 22—July 22). While a small part of you wonders what’s next, the better part of you will be enjoying this part of your journey. It’s like you have both feet in the present while one hand reaches into the future.
LEO (July 23—Aug. 22). You want to share but may not be sure which part of you is best to share at this time. Keep in mind that all social interaction is risk. You may get it wrong but learning as you go is part of the fun.
VIRGO (Aug. 23—Sept. 22). With all the busyness going on in your life now, it will be important to stop and actively show yourself an act or two of uncondi-tional love. Treat yourself like you would your best friend — with thoughtfulness and support.
LIBRA (Sept. 23—Oct. 23). Here’s a radical idea: Center your schedule on the things that matter most to you. What would happen if you did this? Someone would need to adjust. Likely it is a person who should be taking more responsibility anyway.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24—Nov. 21). Your strong sense of responsibility may have you sticking around a situation that is ultimately not healthy for you. Don’t allow yourself to be mistreated. Some people are best loved from afar.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22—Dec. 21). There are things in your life that are drain-ing your willpower and making it difficult for you to do the things you need to do to make your life better. Fix the drains and you’ll have more self-control.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22—Jan. 19). The compulsion to document the moment instead of fully experiencing it is a symp-tom of our current technological time period — and one that you may not be in the mood to currently resist at that.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20—Feb. 18). Be aware of the extra work that needs doing just to make something function correct-ly, i.e., if you have to extremely season it, it’s probably not delicious, and if you have to explain it, it’s not really a funny joke.
PISCES (Feb. 19—March 20). Try to be the leader because if you wait for others, they will likely come at things with a much lower tone than you. Your relationships thrive today because you approach them with such optimism and good cheer.

rather than later.“Throughout that (home)
construction period of 90 to 120 days, you could have as many as 100 different peo-ple work on that house from start to finish,” Kitchens said. “So you see the amount of people involved and hours spent right there.”
But construction crew members aren’t the only ones who felt the financial burden last year. Kitchens pointed to lumberyards as the other major local vic-tims.
“When permits are cut in half, that’s a significant portion of their business,” he said. “If it’s a $200,000 house, they’re going to sell $80,000 to $100,000 worth of material or more.”
Alan Bontrager, owner of Home Lumber and Decor, said his store experienced a 15-percent decline in sales last year. But some posi-tives emerged, too.
“It’s hurt the business a little bit,” he said. “But the thing that has kept us alive,
or the two things, is the remodeling business has kept going, and carpet sales, and hardwood sales and flooring — that has made up for some of the lack of new construction.”
Most of the building per-mits that were issued went to out-of-town contractors, Bontrager said. That applied even more pressure on businesses like his because most of those con-tractors don’t necessarily buy from Junction City suppliers.
“That left us with 16 local guys (who received per-mits) who are very loyal to the local community — being us and Waters True Value,” he said. “They’re very loyal people because they believe in buying local.”
In truth, Bontrager said he’s surprised his store wasn’t hit even harder.
“I’m really surprised we weren’t off more than that because that’s quite a drop in building permits,” he said. “But because of the remodeling and the floor-ing business, it picked up some of that loss.”
Future business for build-
ers and suppliers from new home construction likely will look similar to what it did in 2013, Summers said.
“I think the healthy builders that remain in this market will continue to do a comparable volume to what they’ve done in the past couple years,” he said. “I think that will continue. I don’t think there’ll be a rampant spike; I don’t think there’ll be a heavy valley.”
Summers added Junction City could benefit from growth of neighbors such as Manhattan.
For comparison’s sake, Manhattan issued 174 sin-gle-family residence build-ing permits in 2013, 188 in 2012 and 168 in 2011.
“If we get some good, positive growth in the neighbor region, and we begin to get the spill off from that, we could see a slight increase in new builds,” Summers said.
However, as for last year and so far this year’s con-tinuing woes, Bontrager, like Kitchens, pointed to Fort Riley as one possible factor.
Bontrager said Corvias’s activity “devastates” his
business because not only are fewer houses going up in town, but rental provid-ers aren’t able to compete with Corvias. Bontrager explained some landlords who are at less than 100 percent occupancy are opt-ing not to repair units.
“So there’s less jobs that are out there for guys that are doing that fixing up rental business,” he said. “We know guys that are usually busy all the time, but some of these (land-lords) are not wanting their rentals fixed up.”
A recent source of frus-tration for Bontrager has been Fort Riley officials saying they aim for one third of the number of sol-diers with families to live on the installation. The common figure for housing units available on post is about 3,800. But Bontrager said that doesn’t count the 6,200 units for single sol-diers in Fort Riley’s bar-racks. That takes a toll on businesses like his that rely on construction crews hav-ing work, whether that
work be on homes or rental units.
“We appreciate the sol-diers and their families,” Bontrager said. “But, when it comes to the reality of it for a small business owner, when 10,000 of them are going to live on base, that’s going to hurt.”
To avoid future pains, Kitchens suggested the city look elsewhere for econom-ic growth and hope it leads to more housing.
“For too long, we have been dependent on Fort Riley,” he said. “All of our activity has been geared to Fort Riley. We’ve not diver-sified or taken advantage of our workforce being orient-ed toward manufacturing and production. We’ve got a Foot Locker and a Con-Agra.
“Manhattan’s got a mail-box factory,” Kitchens said. “Sixty percent of their employees come from Junc-tion City. If we had a facto-ry that makes something and had 200 jobs, I’d ven-ture to guess that the mail-box factory would not have
60 percent of their work-force from Junction City. They’d be employed right here or we’d bring in more people from outside the town.”
Kitchens said the Eco-nomic Development Com-mission and other business sector leaders need to work harder to recruit factories that fit Junction City’s workforce and will provide “above-poverty-paying job rates.
“You get a hundred peo-ple with discretionary income, they might buy new cars, they might buy to own their own house, maybe they’ll buy a new house, maybe they’ll call Ben to do repairs on the house they buy,” Kitchens said. “It all comes down to jobs.”
Bontrager said he agrees with Kitchens.
“That’s about the only thing that’s going to save us, really, is getting some more jobs, getting some other income other than (through jobs at) Fort Riley,” Bontrager said.

Our family did not know that.”The attention began when D.E. started
searching on the Internet for the manta ray fish. That research resulted in coming across a foreign news article about the car.
“They said the car was lost and gone for-ever,” D.E. said. “It’s been a really interest-ing deal.”
But they were wrong about the car sit-ting in a Geary County facility built by his parents, just for cars. D.E. said it was more impressive when it was full.
“It was bumper to bumper cars,” D.E. said.
His father, also known around town as “Peanuts,” worked for the Union Pacific Railroad and enjoyed collecting cars.
“He was always picking up cars,” D.E. said. “As a kid, we’d come home from school and we’ll never know what was going to be in the driveway.”
When L.L. passed away 24 years ago, there were more than 100 cars in the collec-tion. Along with his brothers and mother,
Darlene Lacer, the cars were passed on to them. Currently, there’s 30 cars in the warehouse.
One of those cars is a 1926 Rolls Royce Phantom, which was used during his par-ents’ marriage. It was the only car they had for some time.
“My mom and dad had a great collec-tion,” he said. “It was a part of their lives.”
Cars have been a part of his life as well. At a young age, he waxed and detailed cars with his siblings. D.E. got involved with cars after high school by opening up an auto detail shop. Seven years later, he began selling cars and eventually started D.E.L. Motors on Washington Street.
The show is scheduled to air in the fall. Lacer is looking forward to showing off the Manta Ray and cars collected by his par-ents over the years.
“This is all about my mom and dad,” he said.
In addition, D.E. was excited about his hometown being highlighted as well.
According to D.E., Carini has never been to Kansas, so it’ll be the first show shot in Kansas. “For him to come here was really special,” he said.

EMPORIA — One more meet.
That is all that stands between the Junction City wrestling team and its sec-ond consecutive undefeated season in dual meets after the team went 5-0 at the Emporia dual tournament Saturday, taking first place and extending the streak to 29 wins.
“It was a good weekend,” Junction City wrestling coach Bob Laster said. “I was happy taking first. That was our first champi-onship of the year so I’m hoping it’s an indication of maybe we can win some more.”
Instead of allowing them-selves to be overwhelmed by the task, the Blue Jays kept it simple.
They refused to get ahead of themselves, instead only worrying about the match
at hand.
“ T h e s e guys are
trying to be the team
not to let down the streak,” Laster said.
“That was pretty much the big fuel at the begin-ning of the tournament and we set a goal where we
wanted to go 1-0 and a f t e r
it we s e t o u r
goal to g o 1 - 0 again.”The Blue Jays
opened with a win against Valley Cen-
ter.Then Junction City took
down a pair of Centennial League foes in Washburn Rural and Topeka Seaman before casting aside a Prai-rie View team who finished ahead of them at the Bashor-Linwood tourna-ment.
The locals capped off the evening with a win against host Emporia, another team the Jays will see at the League meet in two weeks.
“We knew we had to get a win there or it would’ve been a two-way tie and we would’ve gone to a tie breaker against Prairie View, who also beat Empo-ria,” Laster said. “We knew if we wanted to win, we’d have to go 5-0.”

Indians, INF Elliot Johnson agree to
minor dealVersatile free agent infielder
Elliott Johnson has agreed to a minor league contract with the Indians that includes an invita-tion to big league spring train-ing camp.
The 29-year-old split last sea-son between Kansas City and Atlanta. He batted .261 with five doubles, two triples and 10 RBIs as the Braves regular second baseman over the final five weeks. He was claimed off waiv-ers on Aug. 21.
Johnson started all four games for Atlanta in its playoff series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
A switch-hitter, Johnson has played every infield position and 18 games in the outfield since beginning his career in Tampa Bay’s system in 2002. He debuted with the Rays in 2008 and appeared in a career-high 123 games for Tampa in 2012.
He was traded to Kansas City along with right-hander James Shields before last season.
NFL
Ravens hire Kubiak to be offensive
coordinatorFormer Houston Texans head
coach Gary Kubiak has been hired to be the Baltimore Ravens’ new offensive coordina-tor.
The Ravens announced the hiring on Monday.
The 52-year-old Kubiak replaces Jim Caldwell, who left to become coach of the Detroit Lions.
Kubiak was offensive coordi-nator of the Denver Broncos for three years before being named Houston’s head coach in 2006. He was fired on Dec. 6 of this season after the Texans started 2-11.
He had a 61-64 regular sea-son record and went 2-2 in the postseason with Houston.
Kubiak takes over an offense that was ranked 29th in the NFL. Baltimore went 8-8 after win-ning the Super Bowl last year.

Former University of Arizona AD Strack
dies at 90Dave Strack, the former Uni-
versity of Arizona athletic direc-tor who hired the first black basketball coach at a major uni-versity, has died. He was 90.
Arizona said Sunday that Strack died Saturday.
Before going to Arizona, Strack coached basketball at Michigan. His 1965 team lost the NCAA championship game to John Wooden’s UCLA squad, 91-80.
Strack was Arizona AD from 1972 to 1982.
Shortly after taking the job, he hired Fred Snowden as the first black basketball coach at an NCAA Division I school. Strack also oversaw the open-ing of McKale Center in 1973 and Arizona’s move from the WAC to what became the Pac-10 in 1978.

KC Turner holds off Blue Jays
By The Daily Union STaff
VALLEY CENTER — A dark, menacing fog hung over the Junction City boys’ basketball team.
After losing the first two games of the tourna-ment, the Blue Jays needed something to change their for-tunes.
When guard Josh Bryan won the tournament’s 3-point shooting contest Saturday
morning, it looked as if Junction City might’ve found the magic elixir to raise itself out of the funk.
It didn’t.Junction City scored just three
points in the first quarter, falling behind Kansas City Turner 13-3 in the seventh-place game of the Valley Center tournament.
The Blue Jays finally awoke, eventually bringing the deficit down to one, but ultimately it proved too much as they lost 50-45.
“I thought we played pretty hard as far as the second half goes,” Junction City coach Pat Battle said on his postgame radio show. “We were flat in the first half and that’s where I think things turned a bit. We’ve got to play a full 32 minutes and we didn’t do that.”
Bryan and senior guard Danny Thornton each hit 3-point shots in the second quarter as they helped whittle down Turner’s lead to 20-17 at half.

AMES, Iowa — One of these days, Kansas State coach Bruce Weber might trust his team to push the pace a little more.
Just not now.The 22nd-ranked Wildcats
rushed a few too many shots,
had too many breakdowns on defense and lost to No. 16 Iowa State 81-75 on Saturday.
The Wildcats rallied from deficits of 12 and 11 points to tie the score in the second half, but never got the stop or basket they needed to take the lead and allowed a team to top 70 points for only the
fourth time this season.“When we move the basket-
ball and move, we’re a pretty good team,” Weber said. “But we go 1-on-1 too much. Some of it’s youth. Some of it you’ve got to put on my shoulders. We’ve got to do a better job of preparing them and making sure they move the basketball and get it to the right people at the right times.”
Melvin Ejim scored 20 points to lead Iowa State (15-3, 3-3 Big 12), which regained its shooting touch in break-ing a three-game losing streak.
Georges Niang had 18 points and freshman Matt Thomas matched a season high with 14 for the Cyclones, who blew a 12-point halftime lead, rebuilt the lead to 11, then hit another lull as the Wildcats (14-6, 4-3) rallied to tie the score at 66 with 5 min-utes left.
Nineteen seconds later, though, Niang hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key after Ejim grabbed an offensive

Kansas handles TCU, 91-69By SchUyler Dixon
Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas — Andrew Wiggins wasn’t around a year ago for one of the worst nights in Kansas bas-ketball history.
The freshman guard heard stories from coach Bill Self, and took it upon himself to squash any TCU hopes of a repeat.
Wiggins scored 19 of his career-high 27 points in the first half and No. 8 Kansas answered last year’s stunning loss by taking control early in a 91-69 victory over the Horned Frogs on Sat-urday night.
“He let everyone know that they beat us last year so we had to come out with a lot of energy, come with aggression,” Wiggins said. “I think we were concen-trating and we played with a high level of energy.”
The Jayhawks (15-4, 6-0 Big 12) won their sixth straight game and remained the only Big 12 team without a league loss. Kansas didn’t get to extend its run of wins in four straight games against ranked opponents, the first team to do

No. 4 Wichita State still among nation’s unbeatensBy Dave Skretta
Associated Press
KANSAS CITY — Wichita State’s Ron Baker has grown accustomed to looking up in the stands during a pregame shoot-around, peering from one sec-tion to the next, and seeing very few empty seats.
Not just when the Shockers are at home, either.
Fourth-ranked Wichita State, which beat Drake over the week-end to run its record to 21-0, has become a marquee opponent on everybody’s schedule. When it rolled into Missouri State earlier this month or Illinois State last week, the story was exactly the same.
“This is the third game in a row where people have said that,” Baker replied, when asked about drawing Drake’s best crowd of the year. “We’re start-ing to get used to it.”
All those fans are getting used to watching Wichita State win, too.
Along with top-ranked Arizo-na and No. 2 Syracuse, the Shockers are among three unbeaten teams left in men’s Division I basketball. Consider-ing the weakened state of the Missouri Valley Conference and the schedule they still have left, there’s a good chance Wichita State will become the first team to enter the NCAA tournament with an unblemished record
since UNLV in 1991.The Shockers play Loyola of
Chicago on Tuesday night.“These are really fine young
people that we’re dealing with,” Shockers coach Gregg Marshall said. “They deserve all the cred-it and the accolades they’re receiving. They work extremely hard. They represent our uni-versity in a first-class way and they just continue to get bet-ter.”
That’s a scary thought for the rest of the nation.
Wichita State burst onto the national scene last season, when it knocked off top-ranked Gon-zaga and Ohio State en route to its first Final Four since 1965. It took mighty Louisville, the over-all No. 1 seed and eventual cham-pion, to finally send the Shock-ers home.
The Shockers lost a couple of key players from that team, including blood-and-guts leader Carl Hall and fiery point guard Malcolm Armstead, but the rest of their major contributors are back.
Fred VanVleet, who was just a freshman a year ago, has emerged as one of the nation’s premier point guards. Cleantho-ny Early, a breakout star of the Final Four, recently joined him on the Oscar Robertson watch list, while also making the Wood-en Award’s midseason list.
Then there are the rest of the guys — Baker, Tekele Cotton, Darius Carter and a host of oth-
ers — who have proven that it doesn’t take five stars next to your name, or being anointed the next big thing while still in high school to win games on the college stage.
“We can’t walk out there and just impose our will because we’ve the best coach and the big-gest and best players, and five-star guys, one-and-done guys,” Marshall said. “We don’t have that. We’ve got guys that are good because they really work
and they’re team-oriented and they care about each other and they’re committed and they’re strong-minded and they’re just tough.”
Quite possibly tough enough to run the table.
The closest the Shockers have come to losing was at Missouri State, when they had to rally from 19 down to force overtime. They wound up winning 72-69.
Otherwise, it’s been mostly 20-point blowouts in Missouri
Valley play. You have to go back to a 72-67 win at Alabama on Dec. 17 to find one of their four games decided by 10 points or fewer.
One of those came against Saint Louis, about the closest thing that Wichita State has to a marquee victory. The Billikens weren’t ranked when the Shock-ers beat them on the road Dec. 1, but they haven’t lost since and have climbed to No. 19 in the lat-est Top 25.
The Shockers’ soft schedule has provided plenty of fodder for critics. Of their 10 remaining regular-season games, only three are against teams with winning records.
Marshall bristles at anyone the topic of scheduling, though. He has tried for years to play Kansas, and said several other premier programs have balked at playing Wichita State. Besides, it was Creighton’s defection from the Missouri Valley that has dragged down the confer-ence RPI, and deprived the Shockers of two more high-pro-file games.
“We added a couple of very good teams in Saint Louis and Alabama in our home-and-homes this year, on the road,” Marshall said. “We would take all comers, but it takes two to tango.
“We play the schedule that we got,” he added, “and so far we’ve played it pretty well.”
In fact, they’ve played it per-fectly.

that since North Carolina in 1996-97.In their visit to Fort Worth last
year, the Jayhawks became the first top-five team to lose to the Horned Frogs in a 62-55 defeat. This time, Kansas had 53 points at halftime and led by as many as 24 in the first half.
“It was better, a lot better,” said Self, who joked a year ago that it was “the worst team that Kansas ever put on the floor, since Dr. Naismith was there” after the Jayhawks scored 13 points in the first half.
Brandon Parrish scored 15 points to lead TCU (9-10, 0-7). The Horned Frogs are the only conference team without a league win and are 2-23 in their two Big 12 seasons.
TCU coach Trent Johnson simply saw what he called a “really good” Kansas team, not one fired up to make amends for the shocker of a season ago.
“Why would they get all fired up about what?” Johnson said. “You talk about Kansas basketball and we’re just trying to make this team relevant. We haven’t been to the postseason since the dinosaurs. So I don’t think they get all worked up over something like that.”
Joel Embiid had 14 points, six rebounds and three blocked shots for Kansas before fouling out for the fourth time this season. Wayne Selden Jr. scored 12, and Perry Ellis had eight points and 14 rebounds.
TCU’s student section flashed last year’s score in huge block numbers before the opening tip in case the Jay-hawks had forgotten, but Wiggins was hardly fazed.
The top-scoring freshman in the Big 12 made his first three shots and had a pair of 3-pointers and an alley-
oop dunk from Selden in the first half. Wiggins topped his previous career best of 25 points against Florida on Dec. 10 and led Kansas with five assists.
“He can defer a little bit and he can kind of get lost, but he never got lost today,” Self said. “He was able to put his handprint all over the possessions and create opportunities for himself and others. I thought he played the way he should play every game.”
Wiggins also made it easier for the Jayhawks to exploit their size advan-tage inside. Jamari Traylor and Embi-id had back-to-back dunks to put the Jayhawks up 14-6, surpassing their halftime total of 13 points from last year just 4 1/2 minutes into the game.
Kansas, which shot a season-low 30 percent in last year’s loss, was at 62 percent in the first half, which ended with the Jayhawks in front by 21. The Jayhawks shot 57 percent for the game.
Conner Frankamp and Wiggins hit consecutive 3-pointers to finish a 13-2 run that put Kansas up 43-22.
Embiid, a 7-footer from Cameroon, showed some versatility, beating Amric Fields with a strong spin move for a layup shortly before getting a steal, dribbling the length of the floor and getting fouled driving for a layup. He made both free throws for Kan-sas’ biggest first-half lead at 51-27.
“He’s a good player,” said TCU freshman center Karviar Shepherd, who had eight points and fouled out trying to stay with Embiid. “We attacked each other on the offensive end and the defensive end. I got in some foul trouble early and he got the best of me.”
Fields had 13 points and seven rebounds for the Horned Frogs, who shot 56 percent in the second half to keep the game from getting com-pletely out of hand. Kyan Anderson added 12 points and eight assists.

Durant does it again as Thunder rally past Hawks
By Murray Evans
Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Durant scored 41 points, including the game-winning jumper with 1.5 seconds left, and the Oklahoma City Thunder rallied from a 14-point deficit in the second half to beat the Atlanta Hawks 111-109 Monday night for their eighth straight victory.
Durant scored 13 in the fourth quarter, including a 16-foot, step-back jumper with 25.5 seconds remaining that put Oklahoma City ahead for the first time since the open-ing 2 minutes. Paul Millsap tied it for Atlanta before Durant knocked down the decisive 12-footer while being guarded by DeMarre Carroll.
Shelvin Mack tried to throw a pass to Millsap on the final play, but Thabo Sefolosha knocked it away. Millsap led the Hawks with 23 points.
Durant’s 11-game streak of 30 or more points is the lon-
gest in the NBA since Tracy McGrady did it in 14 straight games in March and April 2003.
Durant had another efficient outing, shooting 15 of 25 from the field and 5 for 7 from 3-point range. During his streak, the star forward has had four 40-point outings.
Reggie Jackson had 18 points for Oklahoma City (36-10), which takes the Western Conference’s best record into a showdown Wednesday at Miami, the two-time defending NBA champion.
The Hawks led by 14 early in the third quarter and still held a double-digit advantage in the final minute of the period before Durant fueled the Thunder’s rally. His layup with 2:11 left tied the score at 107.
Atlanta managed only one basket and two points in the final 3:50.
The Hawks hit seven of their first nine 3-point attempts and led by as many as 14 points in the first half before settling for a 57-50 halftime lead. Mack went 3 of 4 from behind the arc and Dennis Schroder was 2 for 2, putting up 10 points in the half after scoring 12 points combined in his previous 12 games.
Atlanta opened the second half with a 10-3 run to extend its lead to 14 points. Oklahoma City scored the next nine points and drew to 67-62 after a 3-pointer by Jackson, but Kyle Korver hit two 3-pointers as the Hawks scored eight of the next 10 points to rebuild a double-digit advantage at 75-64.
Jeremy Lamb scored 14 points for Oklahoma City. Serge Ibaka managed only nine points but the NBA leader in blocked shots had a season-high six.
Seven Hawks reached double figures in scoring. Mike Scott had 16 points, including 11 in the fourth quarter. Carroll and Mack had 15 points each, while Korver scored 14 and Lou Williams and Schroder had 10 each.
NOTES: For the fourth time this season, the Thunder have assigned G Andre Roberson to the Tulsa 66ers of the NBA Development League. Roberson has played in 19 games for the Thunder and he made four starts earlier this season. . Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and Cleveland Browns QB Brandon Weeden, who is from nearby Edmond, attended the game. . Ibaka was called for a technical with 3:48 left in the first quarter after com-plaining about receiving a personal foul. . Korver extend-ed his NBA-record streak of hitting at least one 3-pointer to 113 games. . The Thunder held their sixth annual Mili-tary Appreciation Night, with military personnel and their families attending thanks in part to more than 1,000 season-ticket holders who gave away seats for the game.

Contributed PhotoJunction City’s Kris Quidachay poses with his medals from the Great Plains bowling tournament in Wichita. He placed first in high game with a 297 and second in series with 675. Quidachay led Junc-tion City to a fifth place finish out of 24 teams.
Quidachay leads Blue Jays to fifth place at
Great Plains tournamentJunction City was led by six wrestlers — seniors Micah Felton (170-pound division), Andrew Mill-sap (152-pounds) and Devonte Wilson (182-pounds), juniors Jake Bazan (138-pounds) and Jeryl Denton (160-pounds) and fresh-man Kayne Hutchinson (220-pounds) — who were selected to the All-tour-nament team.
“They were being very aggressive and most of the wins that they got were pins,” Laster said. “And I would say that the key for them was they were attacking people. They were always on the attack.”
For the first time all season, Laster finally felt he had all 14 of his top wrestlers available at his disposal.
But he doesn’t view having to shuffle his line-up as a negative.
“I was looking at things and our year’s kind of been on a roller coaster, but then I was thinking that’s a good thing for adversity because it
shows you how your team’s going to react to different situations,” Laster said. “And for us to go 9-0 and not having some of those guys in our lineup has been a good thing for our team because it’s given some young guys a chance to step in.”
Junction City returns home for the final time this season for the Junc-tion City tournament Sat-urday.
Laster thinks wrestling at home for the first time since December should provide his team with a boost.
“The big thing is home field advantage, not rid-ing a bus, not getting up real early in the morning, all the things that we take for granted when we go on traveling trips, none of those are in play,” he said. “Hopefully, you should wrestle better at home, that’s why I’m hop-ing this will be an oppor-tunity to show our skills in front of a home crowd.”
Junction City will then try to extend its dual streak to 30 at Shawnee Heights on Feb. 5.
WrestlingContinued from Page 1B
rebound and Iowa State led the rest of the way.
Weber felt the Wildcats too often got away from the controlled game they need to play.
“Just some quick shots, 1-on-1 shots, when we were a little impatient,” he said. “We’re too young. A year from now, maybe we can play a little quicker. But right now, we’re a little young to put up those quick shots.”
Still, Kansas State got within three points at the end, but Ejim blocked a potential game-tying 3 from Shane Southwell and hit two free throws to put the Cyclones ahead 79-73 with 23 seconds left.
Marcus Foster scored 20 points for Kansas State, which lost consecutive games for the first time since November.
Kansas State spent much of the afternoon allowing Iowa State to make a run and then matching it. In the end, the Wildcats were just a couple of plays short.
The Wildcats needed less than 7 minutes to erase a 46-34 first-half deficit.
“We’ve been in that situa-tion before,” Kansas State’s Will Spradling said. “We were in that situation at (Kansas) and let it go the other way (in an 86-60 loss). We knew we weren’t going to come out and let that happen again. Obviously, we didn’t finish like we needed to, but we learned from the KU game.”
The Wildcats then allowed nine straight points in what appeared to be a game-deciding run for the Cyclones.
But Iowa State’s inconsis-tent defense hurt it again.
The Cyclones allowed nine points in 2 minutes, the last in a flurry of three 3-point-ers tied it at 66-all,
Niang answered with his 3, and Cyclones star DeAn-dre Kane shook off a slug-gish game with a three-point play off a shot that banked high off the glass to put Iowa State ahead 72-66.
Kane finished with 10 points after shooting 3 of 12 for the second straight game.
This was the first time in the 216 meetings between Iowa State and Kansas State that both were ranked in the AP Top 25. But the Cyclones and Wildcats entered play looking to regain some lost momen-tum.
Iowa State had opened the season at 14-0, the best start in school history. But losses to Oklahoma, Kan-sas and Texas had consid-erably cooled the pro-gram’s national buzz and sent it tumbling eight spots in this week’s poll.
Then last week, a district court judge ruled that reserve guard Bubu Palo be reinstated in a move that angered the adminis-tration and dominated local headlines.
Kansas State was com-ing off a buzzer-beating loss at Texas, as Jonathan Holmes hit a 3 as time expired for a 67-64 Long-horns’ win on Tuesday.
Southwell had 14 points for Kansas State and Spra-dling added 12. But Thomas Gipson, who had scored 20 and 24 points in the two previous games, managed only four on 2-for-7 shoot-ing.
“You’ve got to give credit to them. They double-teamed him,” Weber said. “But I thought he was very impatient. He should have posted deeper.”

Charie Neibergall • The Associated PressKansas State guard Will Spradling shoots a 3-point basket against Iowa State, Saturday, Jan. 25, 2014, in Ames, Iowa.
Then, senior Jonathan Wilds hit a two followed by Thornton draining another shot from downtown to bring the Blue Jays within one, 24-23.
But the offense hit anoth-er rough patch as Junction City failed to score again the rest of the quarter.
“I think the first thing we have to start with is we’ve gotten away from executing things,” Battle said. “We just need to stick to the plan and make the easy play. We’re pressing right now.
Wilds, in a desperate attempt to energize the offense as he does so fre-quently, piled on eight points in the final period in an effort to erase a 41-29 Turner lead.
But the Golden Bears made enough free throws to stave off the final charge.
Wilds led Junction City
with 12 points. Bryan hit three 3-pointers for nine points in the game.
Senior Alex Long added seven points in the contest.
“(Long) played with a lot of energy and I think that was a big key for him,” Bat-tle said. “He was very ener-getic.”
Battle said his team may be struggling, but the effort is there to turn things around. He pointed out how, despite suffering three loss-es in the tournament, Junc-tion City was in every game.
Junction City (4-7) hosts Highland Park Friday.
“Basketball is a funny game and it has a funny way of coming back if you have the mental courage and the internal fortitude to stick to it and keep going,” Battle said. “That’s what I’m going to do as a coach, that’s what my staff is going to do and hopefully that’s what our players will do to.”

All eyes are on...National Glaucoma Awareness Month
Over two million people in the United States are estimated to have glaucoma, a disease marked by increased internal pressure within the eye, result-ing in damage to the optic nerve. However, less than half know it because glaucoma presents no early visible symptoms. If undetected, glaucoma can cause irreversible damage, and in some cases, blindness. Protect your eyes. Know the risk factors and symptoms of glaucoma.
Risk Factors• Family history of glaucoma • Myopia• Previous eye injury • Diabetes• Low blood pressure • African descent• Long-term cortisone or steroid use
Symptoms• Loss of peripheral vision• Difficulty focusing on close work• Trouble adjusting to the dark• Appearance of halos around lights• Frequent headaches and eye pain
If caught early, glaucoma can be treated. Have your eyes examined annually, and if you notice any of the symptoms mentioned above, make an appointment with your optometrist right away.
