50 Cents Junction City, Kansas

Housing market up, but not for JC

B Y T IM WEIDEMAN

GRANDVIEW PLAZA

city.beat@thedailyunion.net
One of the sure signs of economic prosperity are new houses popping up around a town. Take a drive through Junction City and its obvious this towns 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 country in 2013 almost 100,000 higher than any year since 2007, during which 979,900 permits were issued. Junction Citys code department issued just 48 single-family home building permits in 2013 its lowest amount since 2007. In 2012, Junction City issued 112 single-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 Citys significant dropoff. Number one, the demand for housing has dropped, he said. Thats true even for current homes, said Century 21 Gold Team broker John Summers, who operates out of an office in Junction City. The markets off anywhere from seven to 10 percent in number of transactions, he said, comparing 2013 to 2012 figures. The second factor involves Junction Citys neighbors directly to the east. Number two, (Corvias Military Living) 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 ... theyre going to fill their stuff up first before we get other housing. Corvias, formerly Picerne Military Housing, builds rental units at Fort Riley.

Number one, the demand for housing has dropped.

Home 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.
The amount of residences the contractor has built or plans to build soon has raised a few eyebrows in Junction City. Thats why theres been a lot of concern 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, its very concerning when you start thinking about all the people that live there that maybe could live in Junction City. Junction Citys third problem, Kitchens said, is more in-house. Were 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 buyers going to have $200 to $250 a month in specials to pay. Summers believes Junction Citys market for current homes could rebound. He said one reason is because the available houses are of high quality. We think that its going to be a tremendous spring, he said. We think that theres 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 comfortably, 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 Please see Housing, 8A

Car collection to be spotlighted on national program

GRANDVIEW PLAZA While looking at a shiny Jaguar XK-E Inside a cool warehouse filled with antique cars, D.E. Lacer took a trip down memory lane. Its 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 theres one vehicle car lovers worldwide wont find in a museum the custom Manta Ray. If they want to see it, theyll have to turn on their TVs and watch Chasing Classic Cars.

The shows host, Wayne Carini, recently visited the Grandview Plaza warehouse with a film crew to showcase the car with a handmade fiberglass body. It was custom-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 engineers 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. DEs father, L.L. Lacer, acquired it in 1959. Youll never see another one, D.E. said. Thats the only one in the world. Please see Car, 8A

The Distinguished Trooper award

HSO offers help with buying homes, renting properties

B Y JULIE F IEDLER

1st Infantry Division Public Affairs

The mission of the Housing Services Office, or HSO, is to provide housing assistance to soldiers coming to and departing from Fort Riley. Our primary goal is to ensure that Soldiers get safe, affordable and adequate housing off post, said HSOs Chief, Elbert Newman. Whether coming from Fort Hood, Texas, or moving to Germany, Newman said the HSO can help Soldiers look for rental properties, file paperwork and more. A big concept of the HSO now is a global community, 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 enticingly low rent might be for a building far away, costing the Soldier more in gas money; or might be in an older building, costing more in heating and cooling. HSO staff can help soldiers evaluate their options. Additionally, HSO can help mediate landlord-tenant disputes and investigate complaints as an impartial and objective entity. In the past, HSO relied on the Automated Housing Referral Network, or AHRN, for property listings. However, AHRN is no longer sponsored by the

Dr. Casey Thomas, a Junction City veterinarian, was named the 1st Infantry Divisions and Fort Rileys newest Distinguished Trooper during 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.

Department of Defense and is now on par with other commercially available websites like Rent. com, SargesList.com, Craigslist.com, ApartmentFinder.com, MilitaryByOwner.com, Trulia. com and more, where anyone 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 didnt 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, Soldiers can consult www. emh.housing.navy.mil beginning Feb. 2. HSO can assist Soldiers interested in purchasing a home. In addition to (multiple listing service), weve got a local home guide, Newman said. Weve got lists of all the local realtors. Although the office cannot make recommendations on specific realtors, it can provide guidance on the process of buying a home. HSO also offers homebuying seminars. Topics covered in the past have included information about the local housing market, mortgage types, available loan programs, interest rates, title searches, home inspections 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. For soldiers considering renting out their own property, HSO has resources available for that as well. A lot of Soldiers leaving 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.

Buying a home

1st Infantry Division Public Affairs

TOPEKA It wasnt a policy, political stance or promise of legislation that kept Kansans on their feet the longest Jan. 15, but, instead, the presence of two of their own in the capitol. 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 officer in the 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division Wolfe is a native of Tribune and served in the 4th Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, before taking command of the Commanding Generals Mounted Color Guard. Brownback said Cowan and Wolfe were wonderful examples of what it means to be a Kansan. Kansas has a long and distinguished relationship with our nations military, the governor said, before recognizing and thanking the captains.

The senators, representatives and other officials who filled the statehouse agreed, giving the two a lengthy standing ovation. Cowan and Wolfe not only represented Kansas service members and the Big Red One, but also wounded warriors. Cowan was serving as the commander 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 wasnt 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 Armys relationship with Manhattan and Junction City, and what it means to be a Kansan. Brownback was named a Distinguished Trooper in July at Fort Riley. The award, the most prestigious that can be bestowed on a private citizen by post officials, is given to recognize sustained, superior public service and contributions to the Fort Riley military community by private citizens. In Kansas, we honor our veterans, Brownback said during his address. We remember their service with gratitude and are humbled by their commitment to this great nation.

Ex-Marlboro Man dies from smoking-related disease

By The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES Eric Lawson, a working actor who portrayed the Marlboro Man in cigarette ads during the late 1970s, has died. He was 72. Lawsons wife, Susan Lawson, said Sunday that her husband died Jan. 10 at his California home. The cause was respiratory failure due to chronic obstructive pulmonary 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 Charlies Angels before injuries sustained on the set of a Western film ended his acting career.

AP-GfK poll: Americans value privacy over security

The Associated Press obtained the military records of avionics technician 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 MidContinent Airport. Charges include attempted material support to al-Qaida. The National Defense Service Medal is awarded for honorable military service during a designated combat time. Loewens military 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 sergeant. fine when hes sentenced April 14.

WASHINGTON Most Americans are unimpressed with President Barack Obamas 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 personal privacy ahead of being kept safe from terrorists, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll. More than 60 percent of respondents said they value privacy over anti-terror protections. Thats 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 intelligence communitys most well-kept secrets about spying on Americans. The U.S. public, Congress and allies overseas were shocked to learn the extent of the NSAs post-9/11 surveillance, including the dragnet collection and storage of Americans phone records. Soon after Edward Snowdens disclosure in June, Obama promised to review the system that has changed rapidly as technology 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 eventually stripping the massive data collection from the governments hands. And he called for a panel of advocates to represent privacy and civil liberty concerns before the secret court that oversees the surveillance programs. But the poll found that was not enough to allay most Americans concerns. Nearly 60 percent of respondents said they disapprove of the way Obama is handling intelligence surveillance policies. And 61 percent said they prioritize protecting Americans rights and freedoms over making sure Americans are safe from terrorists. Only 34 percent support Obamas plan to create a panel of outside attorneys to offer an opposing argument to the government before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. And just 17 percent of those polled support moving the data the government col-

Two California men sentenced in Kansas cargo heist case

WICHITA A California man who tried to steal a truckload of beef from a southwest Kansas slaughterhouse was sentenced Monday 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 conspiracy to commit interstate shipment fraud. His brother, Tigran Nagapetian, received a probationary one-year sentence for the less-serious crime of hiding a felony for lying to authorities and concealing his brothers 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 California to continue to use marijuana for a medical purpose, noting such use was legal in that state. Unlawful use of other controlled substances would remain a probation violation, the judge said. The brothers are accused of trying to steal nearly $88,000 worth of beef from Tyson Fresh Meats in Holcomb 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 hauler to obtain freight hauling contracts. The government 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 November on the lesser charges.

lects about telephone calls outside of government hands. In an effort to be more transparent, the intelligence community has declassified thousands of pages of documents related to the secret programs, including stinging rebukes from judges about the NSAs violation of some of the programs rules. But Americans are split on whether the government should publicly justify its surveillance programs to prove they dont 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 its more important to disclose the details of the programs, while most Americans age 65 or over said the U.S. intelligence gathering details should remain secret. Most Americans said Snowden was wrong to disclose these classified programs. Younger Americans are more apt to support what Snowden, 30, did. Snowden fled the country before his revelations became public. He is currently 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 NSAs daily collection of Americans phone records is illegal and recommended 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 Liberties Oversight Board go further than Obama is willing to accept and increase pressure on Congress to make changes. The AP-GfK Poll was conducted Jan. 17-21 using KnowledgePanel, GfKs 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.

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 district 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 Mayetta fire district by issuing checks with forged signatures to a fictitious company and depositing the money into his account. The 67-year-old also admitted falsifying loan documents obligating the fire district to make monthly 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

Assistant U.S. Attorney Brent Anderson told the judge at the sentencing hearing that the government has not fully gotten to the bottom of what it contends is a sophisticated cargo theft scheme, but agreed that Oganes Nagapetian was not the brains behind the operation. Court documents say the Kansas plan was foiled after a suspicious Ohio freight broker who had been victimized by a similar scheme a few months earlier noticed discrepancies in the trucking firms insurance and called the FBI. At the FBIs 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 death

LAWRENCE A 19-yearold Lawrence woman was charged Monday with firstdegree murder in the death of a businessman whose home she shared. Sarah Brooke Gonzales McLinn had been the subject 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 camping in Everglades National Park in Florida. McLinn was in federal custody in Homestead, Fla. Federal charges of illegally camping 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 extradited to Kansas and make her first appearance on the murder charge.

The following editorial appeared in the Los Angeles Times on Friday, Jan. 24
resident Obamas creation of a federal task force to combat sexual assault on college campuses drives home the urgency of this complicated 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 antidiscrimination 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 assaulted, 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 prevention, tougher on-school policies toward offenders and stricter enforcement of those policies. Among other things, campuses need mandatory educational programming for incoming students. Studies show rapists on campuses are often repeat offenders. The task force could examine how campuses can make sure that someone found by authorities to be responsible for rape is expelled not suspended, not given community service. At the same time, the panel could help colleges find the important 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 situation 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-conservatived
MARTIN HAWVER
Commentary Another primary election in which its members burn up money that they might need at the general election to retain the partys majority in the U.S. House, where the numbers are the key, more important than their political leanings. Its 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 Wichitas 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 partys Republican National Committeeman after losing the Senate primary election to nowU.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 Brownback 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-level, expensive, money-from-the-generaldiverting primary election, Tiahrt said he was still thinking it over. The Fitzgerald-Jenkins race? It would cost a fraction of a TiahrtPompeo 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 dont figure it will be spent to comfort dolphins.

To the Editor:

Letter to the Editor Help for local businesses

obody expected a reception to honor dolphins, but the crowd at the Kansas Republican Party state convention in Wichita last weekend was more conservative than it has been in decades ... and even conservatives 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 states U.S. House delegation who picked up a primary election opponent at the GOP love fest. Freshman State Sen. Steve Fitzgerald, R-Leavenworth, announced his candidacy to defeat Jenkins, creating a GOP primary election. He linked Jenkins to the U.S. House leadership led by Rep. John Boehner of Ohio. That leadership link Jenkins often is seen standing by Boehner at press conferences 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 expected, essentially insulating its Republican supporters from retribution at the polls. The result for the GOP brand name?

Actions show truth Part 2

B Y TOM M OXLEY

have gone to many of the meetings of the Junction 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 strengthen 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 understand 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 dependency 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 community 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 communitys elected officials. To me, it seems that more help should be given to local businesses, and a little more scrutiny should be given to companies coming to town.

State Representative Editors Note: This is the second of two parts of this column.
The 800 pound gorilla in the room is the school finance lawsuit, known as the Gannon case. The Kansas Supreme Court decision could come any time. A lower court ruled, ... the States K-12 educational system now stands as unconstitutionally underfunded. The court took Governor Brownback and the legislature to task for cutting education spending while also cutting individual income taxes, saying: It seems completely illogical that the State can argue that a reduction in education funding was necessitated by the downturn in the economy and the states 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 states 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.

School finance lawsuit

Also in the education budget mix is Governor Sam Brownbacks call to fund all day kindergarten. His proposed adjustment to the FY 2015 budget was an additional $16.3 million to provide for the implementation of allday kindergarten statewide. The vast majority of Kansas school districts already offer all-day kindergarten using local funding or at a cost to the household. The 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 programs. A number of local governments picked up the cost of those programs, further shifting the responsibility for paying to local property 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 reimbursement for those state prisoners does not cover actual expenses. That has also had the effect of shifting state costs to local property taxpayers. The furor over the 2013

Corrections

Kansas Legislatures 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 Governors 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 progrowth strategies, ideas, and desires of the Governor and the Kansas Board of Regents. All six Kansas public universities increased tuition as a result. Should 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. Further transfers of money from transportation to the state general fund will definitely have an impact on already proposed and urgently needed transportation maintenance and new build projects.

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 states economy. The budget is now about $4 million.

The fee, which averages about $450, is collected by county register of deeds. The Kansas Bankers Association and Kansas Association 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.

Husband wants kids, wife doesnt

Dear Annie: Im 46 years old, college educated, with no children I recently celebrated my 20th wedding anniversary. Its 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 cant imagine a life without children. I told him that having children is not going to happen, and that if he wants a divorce over this, I wont fight him. He is welcome to find someone else to have children with. What I did not tell him is that soon after the miscarriage, 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 control? Im not sure what it would accomplish. Im 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 pregnant again, then obviously, you have been dishonest. This was grossly unfair to him. But you cannot undo the past, and with your husbands anger issues, we can understand why there seems no point in telling him now. But a marriage that isnt 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 husbands 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 childrens birthday parties. She just gets to show up. There is a lot of time, energy, planning, preparation and cost associated with having everyone over, and I feel she should reciprocate. 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 doesnt matter. She isnt going to do it. Your choice is simply which get-togethers you host and which belong to your inlaws. If you remove your sisterin-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 appetizers, 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 relative could have written that letter. When I was 10, I was molested by my older brother 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 surprised, and all were supportive of me. Although I am overwhelmed 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

Horoscope
ARIES (March 21April 19). Youll be asked to contribute to or improve upon a group project. This is dangerous territory politically. Be diplomatic. If you have to change someones work, offer praise and positive words to offset the possible slight. TAURUS (April 20May 20). Youll 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 dont yet know. GEMINI (May 21June 21). Its good to feel respected, especially by the people whose opinions matter most to you. But if you arent getting the signs of respect you deserve, stay the course. Eventually, youll get your due. CANCER (June 22July 22). While a small part of you wonders whats next, the better part of you will be enjoying this part of your journey. Its like you have both feet in the present while one hand reaches into the future. LEO (July 23Aug. 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. 23Sept. 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 unconditional love. Treat yourself like you would your best friend with thoughtfulness and support. LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 23). Heres 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. 24Nov. 21). Your strong sense of responsibility may have you sticking around a situation that is ultimately not healthy for you. Dont allow yourself to be mistreated. Some people are best loved from afar. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). There are things in your life that are draining 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 youll have more self-control. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). The compulsion to document the moment instead of fully experiencing it is a symptom of our current technological time period and one that you may not be in the mood to currently resist at that. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Be aware of the extra work that needs doing just to make something function correctly, i.e., if you have to extremely season it, its probably not delicious, and if you have to explain it, its not really a funny joke. PISCES (Feb. 19March 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.

FROM PAGE ONE CAR

Continued from Page 1A
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 forever, D.E. said. Its been a really interesting deal. But they were wrong about the car sitting 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, wed come home from school and well 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 collection. Along with his brothers and mother, Darlene Lacer, the cars were passed on to them. Currently, theres 30 cars in the warehouse. One of those cars is a 1926 Rolls Royce Phantom, which was used during his parents marriage. It was the only car they had for some time. My mom and dad had a great collection, 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 parents 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 itll be the first show shot in Kansas. For him to come here was really Chase Jordan The Daily Union special, he said. D.E. Lacer stands near the rare Manta Ray car, which was built in the 1950s.

HOUSING
Continued from Page 1A
rather than later. Throughout that (home) construction period of 90 to 120 days, you could have as many as 100 different people 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 arent the only ones who felt the financial burden last year. Kitchens pointed to lumberyards as the other major local victims. When permits are cut in half, thats a significant portion of their business, he said. If its a $200,000 house, theyre 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 positives emerged, too. Its 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 permits that were issued went to out-of-town contractors, Bontrager said. That applied even more pressure on businesses like his because most of those contractors dont necessarily buy from Junction City suppliers. That left us with 16 local guys (who received permits) who are very loyal to the local community being us and Waters True Value, he said. Theyre very loyal people because they believe in buying local. In truth, Bontrager said hes surprised his store wasnt hit even harder. Im really surprised we werent off more than that because thats quite a drop in building permits, he said. But because of the remodeling and the flooring 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 theyve done in the past couple years, he said. I think that will continue. I dont think therell be a rampant spike; I dont think therell be a heavy valley. Summers added Junction City could benefit from growth of neighbors such as Manhattan. For comparisons sake, Manhattan issued 174 single-family residence building 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 years continuing woes, Bontrager, like Kitchens, pointed to Fort Riley as one possible factor. Bontrager said Corviass activity devastates his

business because not only are fewer houses going up in town, but rental providers arent able to compete with Corvias. Bontrager explained some landlords who are at less than 100 percent occupancy are opting not to repair units. So theres 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 (landlords) are not wanting their rentals fixed up. A recent source of frustration for Bontrager has been Fort Riley officials saying they aim for one third of the number of soldiers with families to live on the installation. The common figure for housing units available on post is about 3,800. But Bontrager said that doesnt count the 6,200 units for single soldiers in Fort Rileys barracks. That takes a toll on businesses like his that rely on construction crews having work, whether that

work be on homes or rental units. We appreciate the soldiers 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, thats going to hurt. To avoid future pains, Kitchens suggested the city look elsewhere for economic 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. Weve not diversified or taken advantage of our workforce being oriented toward manufacturing and production. Weve got a Foot Locker and a ConAgra. Manhattans got a mailbox factory, Kitchens said. Sixty percent of their employees come from Junction City. If we had a factory that makes something and had 200 jobs, Id venture to guess that the mailT:5.31 box factory would not have
S:5.06

60 percent of their workforce from Junction City. Theyd be employed right here or wed bring in more people from outside the town. Kitchens said the Economic Development Commission and other business sector leaders need to work harder to recruit factories that fit Junction Citys workforce and will provide above-poverty-paying job rates. You get a hundred people with discretionary income, they might buy new cars, they might buy to own their own house, maybe theyll buy a new house, maybe theyll call Ben to do repairs on the house they buy, Kitchens said. It all comes down to jobs. Bontrager said he agrees with Kitchens. Thats about the only thing thats going to save us, really, is getting some more jobs, getting some other income other than (through jobs at) Fort Riley, Bontrager said.

It was a good weekend, Junction City wrestling coach Bob Laster said. I was happy taking first. That was our first championship of the year so Im hoping its an indication of maybe we can win some more. Instead of allowing themselves 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.

Versatile free agent infielder Elliott Johnson has agreed to a minor league contract with the Indians that includes an invitation to big league spring training camp. The 29-year-old split last season 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 waivers 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 Bays 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.

Then Junction City took down a pair of Centennial League foes in Washburn Rural and Topeka Seaman before casting aside a Prairie View team who finished ahead of them at the Bashor-Linwood tournament. 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 wouldve been a two-way tie and we wouldve gone to a tie breaker against Prairie View, who also beat Emporia, Laster said. We knew if we wanted to win, wed have to go 5-0. Please see Wrestling, 6B

Iowa State tops K-State 81-75

Associated Press
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 basketball and move, were a pretty good team, Weber said. But we go 1-on-1 too much. Some of its youth. Some of it youve got to put on my shoulders. Weve 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 (153, 3-3 Big 12), which regained its shooting touch in breaking 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 minutes left. Nineteen seconds later, though, Niang hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key after Ejim grabbed an offensive Please see K-State, 6B

Former Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak has been hired to be the Baltimore Ravens new offensive coordinator. 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 coordinator of the Denver Broncos for three years before being named Houstons 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 season 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 winning the Super Bowl last year.

Dave Strack, the former University of Arizona athletic director who hired the first black basketball coach at a major university, 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 Woodens 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 opening of McKale Center in 1973 and Arizonas move from the WAC to what became the Pac10 in 1978.

VALLEY CENTER A dark, menacing fog hung over the Junction City boys basketball team. After losing the first two games of the tournament, the Blue Jays needed something to change their forJC 45 tunes. When guard Josh Bryan won Turner 50 the tournaments 3-point shooting contest Saturday morning, it looked as if Junction City mightve found the magic elixir to raise itself out of the funk. It didnt. 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 J OSH 50-45. B RYAN 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 thats where I think things turned a bit. Weve got to play a full 32 minutes and we didnt do that. Bryan and senior guard Danny Thornton each hit 3-point shots in the second quarter as they helped whittle down Turners lead to 20-17 at half. Please see Blue

FORT WORTH, Texas Andrew Wiggins wasnt around a year ago for one of the worst nights in Kansas basketball 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 years stunning loss by taking control early in a 91-69 victory over the Horned Frogs on Saturday 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 concentrating 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 didnt get to extend its run of wins in four straight games against ranked opponents, the first team to do Please see Kansas, 3B

No. 4 Wichita State still among nations unbeatens

B Y D AVE S K R E T T A

Associated Press
KANSAS CITY Wichita States Ron Baker has grown accustomed to looking up in the stands during a pregame shootaround, peering from one section 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 weekend to run its record to 21-0, has become a marquee opponent on everybodys 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 Drakes best crowd of the year. Were starting to get used to it. All those fans are getting used to watching Wichita State win, too. Along with top-ranked Arizona and No. 2 Syracuse, the Shockers are among three unbeaten teams left in mens Division I basketball. Considering the weakened state of the Missouri Valley Conference and the schedule they still have left, theres 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 were dealing with, Shockers coach Gregg Marshall said. They deserve all the credit and the accolades theyre receiving. They work extremely hard. They represent our university in a first-class way and they just continue to get better. Thats a scary thought for the rest of the nation. Wichita State burst onto the national scene last season, when it knocked off top-ranked Gonzaga and Ohio State en route to its first Final Four since 1965. It took mighty Louisville, the overall No. 1 seed and eventual champion, to finally send the Shockers 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 nations premier point guards. Cleanthony Early, a breakout star of the Final Four, recently joined him on the Oscar Robertson watch list, while also making the Wooden Awards midseason list. Then there are the rest of the guys Baker, Tekele Cotton, Darius Carter and a host of oth-

Wichita State guard Ron Baker drives to the basket ahead of Drake guard Richard Carter Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa.
ers who have proven that it doesnt 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 cant walk out there and just impose our will because weve the best coach and the biggest and best players, and fivestar guys, one-and-done guys, Marshall said. We dont have that. Weve got guys that are good because they really work and theyre team-oriented and they care about each other and theyre committed and theyre strong-minded and theyre 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, its been mostly 20-point blowouts in Missouri

Charlie Neibergall The Associated Press

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 werent ranked when the Shockers beat them on the road Dec. 1, but they havent lost since and have climbed to No. 19 in the latest 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 Creightons defection from the Missouri Valley that has dragged down the conference RPI, and deprived the Shockers of two more high-profile games. We added a couple of very good teams in Saint Louis and Alabama in our home-andhomes 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 weve played it pretty well. In fact, theyve played it perfectly.

SPORTS KANSAS
Continued from Page 1B
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 were just trying to make this team relevant. We havent been to the postseason since the dinosaurs. So I dont 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. TCUs student section flashed last years score in huge block numbers before the opening tip in case the Jayhawks 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 alleyoop 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 advantage inside. Jamari Traylor and Embiid 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 years 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 Kansas biggest first-half lead at 51-27. Hes 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 completely out of hand. Kyan Anderson added 12 points and eight assists.

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 opening 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. Durants 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 Conferences 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 Thunders 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 complaining about receiving a personal foul. . Korver extended his NBA-record streak of hitting at least one 3-pointer to 113 games. . The Thunder held their sixth annual Military 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.

BLUE JAYS
Continued from Page 1B
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 another 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 weve gotten away from executing things, Battle said. We just need to stick to the plan and make the easy play. Were pressing right now. Wilds, in a desperate attempt to energize the offense as he does so frequently, 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, Battle said. He was very energetic. Battle said his team may be struggling, but the effort is there to turn things around. He pointed out how, despite suffering three losses in the tournament, Junction 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. Thats what Im going to do as a coach, thats what my staff is going to do and hopefully thats what our players will do to.

WRESTLING

SPORTS
shows you how your teams 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 its given some young guys a chance to step in. Junction City returns home for the final time this season for the Junction City tournament Saturday. 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 riding 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, thats why Im hoping this will be an opportunity 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.

Junction City was led by six wrestlers seniors Micah Felton (170-pound division), Andrew Millsap (152-pounds) and Devonte Wilson (182-pounds), juniors Jake Bazan (138-pounds) and Jeryl Denton (160-pounds) and freshman Kayne Hutchinson (220-pounds) who were selected to the All-tournament 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 doesnt view having to shuffle his lineup as a negative. I was looking at things and our years kind of been on a roller coaster, but then I was thinking thats a good thing for adversity because it

All eyes are on...

Over two million people in the United States are estimated to have glaucoma, a disease marked by increased internal pressure within the eye, resulting 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.

Kansas State guard Will Spradling shoots a 3-point basket against Iowa State, Saturday, Jan. 25, 2014, in Ames, Iowa.

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. Were too young. A year from now, maybe we can play a little quicker. But right now, were 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. Weve been in that situation before, Kansas States 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 werent going to come out and let that happen again. Obviously, we didnt 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 gamedeciding run for the Cyclones. But Iowa States inconsistent defense hurt it again.

The Cyclones allowed nine points in 2 minutes, the last in a flurry of three 3-pointers tied it at 66-all, Niang answered with his 3, and Cyclones star DeAndre Kane shook off a sluggish game with a threepoint 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 momentum. Iowa State had opened the season at 14-0, the best start in school history. But losses to Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas had considerably cooled the programs national buzz and sent it tumbling eight spots in this weeks poll. Then last week, a district court judge ruled that reserve guard Bubu Palo be reinstated in a move that angered the administration and dominated local headlines. Kansas State was coming off a buzzer-beating loss at Texas, as Jonathan Holmes hit a 3 as time expired for a 67-64 Longhorns win on Tuesday. Southwell had 14 points for Kansas State and Spradling added 12. But Thomas Gipson, who had scored 20 and 24 points in the two previous games, managed only four on 2-for-7 shooting. Youve got to give credit to them. They doubleteamed him, Weber said. But I thought he was very impatient. He should have posted deeper.
