Infantry Divisions First Combat Aviation Brigade, officials stated in a press release. We offer our heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of these Big Red One soldiers, said Maj. Gen. Paul Funk, First Infantry Division and Fort Riley commanding general. We stand ready to support them and I urge our community and the nation, while remembering their sacrifices this holiday season, to do the same. The deaths make it one of the bloodiest casualty incidents in either the Iraq or Afghanistan wars. In 2011, six soldiers from a Fort Riley artillery battalion were killed in Baghdad. Five combat engineers were killed in 2004 when a bomb exploded beneath their armored personnel carrier in Malahma, in Iraqs Sunni Triangle. The soldiers were on a NATO UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter when it crashed. The cause still is under investigation. Killed in the crash were: Chief Warrant Officer 2 Randy L. Billings, 34, Oklahoma, of Company B, 3rd Assault Helicopter Battalion, 1st Aviation Regiment, 1st CAB, 1st Inf. Div., Fort Riley, Chief Warrant Officer 2 Joshua B. Silverman, 35, Arizona, of Co.

GRANDVIEW PLAZA Interstate 70 traffic has always been a concern for officials and residents when it comes to safety on Flint Hills Boulevard. Although improvements are not set in stone, Public Works Administrator Jerome Thomas reported this week that there may be a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. During a recent City Council meeting, Thomas said the Kansas Department of Transportation is looking at Exit 299 and traffic on Flint Hills Boulevard. With the intersection, its hard to get anybody to turn right or left, coming off the interstate, Thomas said. We have a lot of traffic coming back and forth in the morning, noon and evening. Thomas said the heavy traffic consists of Fort Riley travelers, visitors and other residents leaving for work. Traffic coming from Junction City, is another issue. Coming from Junction this way, we have two lanes and all of a sudden you can turn right for the interstate, but some people want to go straight, Thomas said. Weve had accidents there. One idea to help deter the problem is to create a right turning lane and Please see Help, 10A

WASHINGTON President Barack Obama on Friday gave the military a one-year deadline to better prevent and respond to a wave of sexual assault in the ranks and warned that if progress isnt made, he will consider tougher reforms than those approved by Congress. The ultimatum from their commander in chief and pressure from lawmakers puts the onus on the Pentagon to live up to its vows of zero tolerance for sexual assault, or face the potential of losing authority to prosecute offenders in its own courts.

City IT department hoping for no more close calls

Junction City has been tempting fate with an unreliable backup system for its data stored on city servers, information technology director Jim Germann said at this weeks City Commission meeting. Commissioners responded by approving the purchase of a $59,000 Unitrends backup appliance to make sure the citys data, which includes financial, email, departmental information, public safety and user files, is reliably backed up. The citys data could have been lost when multiple recent failures affected the citys computer systems. Though the city didnt lose data, staff still had to fix errors created by recovering the data. It really messed up the system, Assistant City Manager Cheryl Beatty said. We had to duplicate a lot of work. We lost a lot of staff time, particularly in the customer service department.

Commission supports Acorns Resorts request

Acorns Resort owner Mike Harris wants support from area officials to help him convince the United States Army Corps of Engineers to grant an exception of its 90-day non-occupancy requirement. The new law requires campgrounds on Corps of Engineers property to keep clear 75 percent of their long-term campsites from December to February. Earlier this week, Junction City Commissioners agreed to sign a letter supporting an exemption for Harriss campsites. Of Acorns Resorts 31 long-term campsites, 20 would have to be evicted, Harris told the commission. In a nut shell, theres not 20 other (long-term) campsites in this immediate area that they could even go to, he said. Harris said 15 of the occupants are active duty military families stationed at Fort Riley, 14 are contractors at Fort Riley and two are civilians. Acorns, located at 3710 Farnum Creek Road near Milford Lake, has been open on Corps land since 2006. Harris said he also plans to ask Fort Riley leadership for their support.
On Sunday, Shannon Rosauer is looking forward to showing a classic holiday film on the silver screen. I think its so fun to see classic film, the way it was meant to be on the big screen, said Rosauer, marketing director for the Opera House. Its affordable and a good, fun thing to do. The C.L. Hoover Opera House is continuing its Colonial Classics Silver Screen Film Series with Holiday Inn. The showing for the 1942 musical film is set for 3 p.m. Sunday. The story follows a singer (Bing Crosby) and a dancer (Fred Astaire) compete for the affections of a beautiful performer (Marjorie Reynolds). Irving Berlins famous White Christmas is featured in the movie. Another hit song is Happy Holidays.
IF YOU GO
All tickets are $2 and free popcorn will be provided. The Opera House is located at 135 W. Seventh St. In case of inclement weather, the movie will be cancelled. Rosauer said notice will posted on various media outlets and on www.jcoperahouse.org For more information, call (785) 238-3906 or visit their website.
Rosauer enjoys the work and dance choreography of classic movies. The classics were made before people had VCRs and could watch movies anytime and anywhere, she said. They built these huge sets and they did not have green screen backgrounds (for special effects). Holiday Inn is the last of the Colonial Classics for 2013. Stay tuned, Rosauer said. We may have a few more in the spring. Were always open for request and ideas.

Popular author Vizzini, 32, dies in NY

By The Associated Press
NEW YORK Ned Vizzini, a popular young adult author and television writer who wrote candidly and humorously about his struggles with depression, has committed suicide. He was 32. Vizzini jumped off the roof of his parents home in Brooklyn on Thursday, said his brother, Daniel Vizzini. New York Citys medical examiners office confirmed Friday that Vizzini took his own life and had sustained blunt impact injuries consistent with a fall. Daniel Vizzini said his brother had battled mental illness for much of his life and had taken a turn for the worse in recent weeks. Ned Vizzinis autobiographical novel Its Kind of a Funny Story was adapted into a feature film of the same name.

attack barracks
MAIDUGURI, Nigeria Nigerias military says Islamic extremists firing anti-aircraft rockets and rocket-propelled grenades attacked a tank battalion barracks in the northeast of the country, and witnesses say they set the entire complex ablaze. The second major attack on security force installations this month raises doubts about the militarys ability to halt the Islamic uprising despite a 7-monthold state of emergency in three northeastern states covering one-sixth of Africas biggest oil producer. Olukolade said the attackers came across the border from Cameroon, which Nigerian officials say is doing little to stop the extremists using the country as a launch pad for attacks and escape routes. Thousands have died in the 4-year-old insurgency. hospital where he has been confined for most of the past three decades. John Hinckley will be allowed to visit his mothers home in Williamsburg, Va., for up to 17 days at a time. Hinckley has been allowed to spend increasing amounts of time at his mothers house in recent years, but previous visits were capped at 10 days. In court hearings before the judges ruling, Hinckleys lawyer had asked for Hinckleys visits to be expanded to 17 and 24 days, arguing that there is no evidence Hinckley is a danger. Attorneys for the U.S. government, however, argued that granting expanded privileges was premature and ill conceived. Two U.S. and one Yemeni official said Shawqi Ali Ahmad al-Badani, a mid-level leader in Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, was the target of the U.S. drone strike in the central city of Radda. U.S. officials say between nine and 12 other militants were killed, and they know of no civilian casualties. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to describe drone operations publicly. Reports from Yemen were that the strike hit a wedding, killing 13 civilians. The Yemeni government paid the local tribe compensation for the loss of life, but Yemens official security committee also announced that the airstrike had targeted al-Qaida militants, including those who masterminded attacks on government institutions, the police and army. The U.S. officials say the militants were traveling to the wedding, but were not near civilians when they were hit. The Yemeni official described Al-Badani as a very dangerous, high-risk operational militant, who was linked to the threat that shut down U.S. embassies last August, but also linked to a plot to target the U.S. embassy in Sanaa in 2012.

Drone targeted embassy plot leader

WASHINGTON U.S. and Yemeni officials said Friday that the target of a Dec. 12th drone strike in Yemen was the ringleader behind the summer plot that shuttered 19 diplomatic posts across Africa and the Mideast. But he was only wounded, and escaped, while up to a dozen others were killed.
Mexicos enacts energy reform

MEXICO CITY Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto has signed into law a sweeping reform bill that will allow private companies to drill for oil and gas. Mexican law previously restricted such work to the state-owned oil company, Petroleos Mexicanos. Pena Nieto said Friday that the energy bill and other reforms had strengthened confidence in Mexico, and cited as an example the decision by Standard & Poors to raise Mexicos credit rating one step to BBB+. Most private contracts had been banned since the oil industry was nationalized in 1938. Congress must now pass enabling legislation in order for the law to enter full effect. Congress has three months to do so.

lans, goals and vision are keys to the success of every business and the cornerstones of leadership. That is no different for government entities, communities, nonprofits and other organizations that hope to thrive now and into the future. Last week, we here at the Daily Union wanted to collect a feel for those goals and visions for Junction City. A new city manager has been here for more than two months and there are high hopes for him, the current City Commission and Junction City as a whole. However, we were provided few answers to those questions. I certainly didnt expect to receive a fullfledged document with specifics. I thought we would receive some direction of where we may be headed in terms of goals and visions. Of course we understand theres a learning curve to any new job and this one here in JC is not easy. There are a lot of pieces that must fit together for it all to work. However, every day that passes, we are losing ground. Right now, we need a plan, goals L ISA and a vision to reduce the debt, S EISER repair our infrastructure, ensure property taxes are kept in check, bring industry and businesses to Junction City and continue to work on improving what already is a great community in so many ways. We look forward to more insight into planning for the near future. Time is wasting.
Its time for a plan
The Christmas spirit A

nyone offended by public displays of Christmas needs to see a psychiatrist. Are we clear on this? You are a loon if the sight of baby Jesus arouses anger or sadness in you. Get help. This brings us to the governor of Rhode Island, Lincoln Chafee. He recently told me on national television that the reason he will not use the word Christmas in describing the state Christmas tree is that the word might offend non-Christians. The governor calls the state-purchased symbol a holiday tree. My reply to the governor was that by excluding the word Christmas, he might be offending the 73 percent of Americans who describe themselves as Christian, not to mention the 2.2 billion Christians worldwide. Chafee chafed when he heard that but had no answer. And then the governor did a very interesting thing: He announced the lighting of the holiday tree in Providence a full 30 minutes before the cord was plugged in. Very few Rhode Islanders even knew about the tree lighting because it was done so surreptitiously. Chafee did that because he feared protestors would do what they did last year: sing Christmas carols at the lighting. And we cant have that, now, can we? Jon Stewart and his merry band of elves will tell you that the so-called War on Christmas is a figment of the imagination, perhaps a result of indigestion after eating too much holiday
BILL OREILLY
Commentary pudding. Stewarts posture is similar to what Ebenezer Scrooge put forth when the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come told him he was bound for hell. I am channeling Charles Dickens to see whether the ghost can visit Stewart on Christmas Eve. Ill let you know what happens. There is something to the argument that there are more important things to worry about than whether people like Christmas. But the assaults against the national holiday are annoying, unnecessary and often disrespectful. I mean, heres how bad it is in this country: A pastor in Arkansas canceled a play called Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown because some nutty atheist objected to public school kids seeing it on church grounds. So Charlie, Snoopy and Linus were thrown under the bus by a Christian cleric. Good grief ! For all of you separation-of-churchand-state fans, heres the deal: Jesus of Nazareth was a man. In fact, he was the most influential person ever born. A third of the worlds population has signed on to the Christian edicts: love God, and love your neighbor as your-
Its that time of year when most property owners, whether here in Junction City and Geary County or somewhere else, cringe at the thought of that tax bill arriving in the mail. I know it is a painful proposition. Most of us dont try to figure the numbers out in advance, even though we probably should. So, we leave it up to the arrival of the bill to deal with whatever the final tally is levied upon us. In most years, I havent been surprised by the numbers. Being a reporter, you often have a little more insight on what the bill may look like. Since leaving Wisconsin, I havent paid attention as much as I should with regard to property taxes and the budgets in Lake Geneva, the local schools or even the state. The other day, in my Junction City Post Office box, arrived my real estate tax bill for 2013 from the Lake Geneva city treasurer. While I stood at the counter in the Post Office, I couldnt believe it. My property taxes dropped more than 28 percent from 2012 and based on my escrow, I will be reaping the rewards of my overpayment all year. All but one taxing entity dropped at least 20 percent, including one that went down 38 percent. Now, there are some caveats to this reduction, including a reduction in the assessed value on my property. But, overall, I am not going to complain. Heres hoping some others will experience what I am calling my holiday season miracle. It may be the first and last time I actually am looking forward to paying that tax bill.
One kind of miracle
self. That sounds like a good thing. So, when President Grant honored Jesus by signing into law the national holiday of Christmas in 1870, the nation certified that a positive message of generosity and peace was worthy of a day off. Pretty much everybody was on board. But not today. In our current state, the Thomas More Law Center has to litigate against attacks on Christmas every year. Anti-religion zealots put up billboards in Times Square denouncing Christmas as a myth. Rabid secularists bridle at any mention of Jesus or his nice mom and dad. To them I say: Peace on Earth and tough. You dont like the federal holiday? Try to rescind it. Start with our pal Lincoln Chafee. See how far you get with that. And by the way, Merry Christmas to all. Even you loons.

Let immigrants step out of shadows L

ily has lived in the United States since 1983. She married here, bore a son here and divorced here. She made a loyal circle of friends here. She has stitched together a productive life in this country, integrating fully into American culture, and in August 2013 she became a citizen. I like to call her a genuine African-American because Gambia, a tiny West African country, is her native land. She embodies the immigrants dream, but there is a wrinkle in her story. Her route to citizenship involved laws bent, if not broken; crimped, if not crumpled; ignored, if not rejected. When Lily (not her real name) flew into Washington en route to Atlanta, she entered the country on a tourist visa. She had no intention of returning to Gambia. The 1980s were years of lax border enforcement, so she was able to find a job as a domestic in an Atlanta hotel easily. She tells a hilarious story about persuading the human resources department that she was a native of the Caribbean, despite having an accent that bears little resemblance to the typical West Indian lilt. No one requested papers. But she didnt abuse the privilege. She worked hard. She stayed out of trouble. She acquired a green card a document indicating legal residency when she married another Gambian native who had already been naturalized. (Ive known her for five years, since she became a caregiver in my family.) And she came to love her new land in the ways that so many hopeful immigrants do. There are millions of people living in this country with stories similar to Lilys. They have worked hard; they have learned English; they have paid

Commentary taxes. Why dont we have the generosity or, at the very least, the sense of enlightened self-interest to allow them a route to citizenship, too? Unlike Lily, however, they have encountered an era of deep resentment toward immigrants, especially those of slightly darker hues. Despite establishing an economic climate that welcomed their labor during the 1990s and early 2000s, we dont seem to want the rest of their personhood their families, their possessions, their frailties, their political rights. They have been consigned to the shadows. If the recent bipartisan agreement seemed to signal a new detente on Capitol Hill, Republican Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, Mitt Romneys running mate, quickly doused any hope that his spirit of cooperation would extend to a new immigration law. Perhaps he is anxious to mend fences with hyper-conservatives who are annoyed with him for helping to spearhead the budget agreement. Or perhaps his familiar intransigence has simply returned after a brief hiatus. In any event, Ryan gave a radio interview last week in which he insisted that he would not stand for amnesty, which has become a code word for any plan to allow undocumented immigrants a route to legal residency. Guaranteed border security, guaranteed interior enforcement, no amnes-

ty then I think thats productive. I think thats in our interest. I think thats good for our country, Ryan told a Wisconsin radio station, describing the legislation that, in his words, would maintain Republican, conservative principles. Thats just more meaningless rhetoric. The concept of guaranteed border security belongs to precious few countries, North Korea among them. To maintain reasonable security, the U.S. currently employs more than 21,000 Border Patrol agents, the highest number since 1921, according to federal data. A year ago, The Washington Post noted, Congress funded Customs and Border Protection at $11.7 billion -- 64 percent more than FY 2006 and $262 million more than in FY 2011, despite the new climate of austerity. If Ryan were sincere, hed note that President Obama has pushed deportations of unauthorized immigrants to record levels, deporting more annually than George W. Bush did. Our borders are as secure as any nation that doesnt desire to become a police state can expect. Its high time for Congress to pass a comprehensive immigration bill that would grant a path to citizenship to the millions of unauthorized immigrants waiting to be new Americans. Were passing up a chance to welcome a lot of people like Lily.

Grand opening
Candlewood Fort Riley opens its doors

FORT RILEY Fort Riley, in partnership with Intercontinental Hotels Group and Lend Lease, opened the doors to a new hotel with a Dec. 17 ribboncutting ceremony at the new Candlewood Suites on Fort Riley, located at 6956 Jackson Ave. The Army is committed to our Soldiers and military families, and this is another example of that commitment, said Fort Riley Garrison Commander Col. Andrew Cole. In Army terms, high-quality facilities like this are considered force multipliers. When Soldiers know their home life is in good hands, they focus on mission accomplishment. The groundbreaking for the hotel took place June 12, 2012, and construction began in July 2012, although plans for the new hotel were in progress as far back as 2009. Fort Riley was blessed to be one of 13 installations included in the first group of Army Installations to have privatized lodging, Cole said. The hotel has 100 rooms, each with a fully equipped kitchen; 22 of which are one-bedroom suites with sleeper sofas; and five are handicap-accessible rooms. The hotel features many amenities, including free breakfast in the lobby each morning, an outdoor seasonal swimming pool, a fitness center, laundry facilities, a free on-post shuttle, a business center, digital video rentals, free wired Internet access and weekly barbecues for guests. There also are pet-friendly rooms available. The most important amenity offered by IHG hotels on military installations is the relationship the company has with the military and its community, according to Paul Oltmanns, manager, Candlewood Suites on Fort Riley. We get it. We understand. If a family is at the hotel waiting for their Soldier to redeploy, that they may not arrive tonight or tomorrow, and extensions might be needed, he said. Priority booking and the need for flexibility are aspects that on-post lodging facilities representatives are familiar with and ready to accommodate for, he added. Its about relationships and understanding - for us to understand what military families are going through and providing for them, Oltmanns said. Fort Rileys Candlewood Suites is part of the Privatization of Army Lodging, or PAL, program, which is an Army initiative to improve lodging accommodations for Soldiers, their families and all government travelers. We have 76 hotels on 39 installations. That equates to about 12,000 rooms, said Arthur Holst, vice president, operations, IHG Army Hotels. About 95 percent of our business is official travelers who are doing business on an Army post. Thats our mission - to take care of them well, making sure that (we) meet their needs.
The new dealership on Golden Belt Boulevard officially is open. A ribbon cutting ceremony was held at the facility. Mayor Cecil Aska and Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce CEO Tom Weigand were among those in attendance for Dick Edwards and his family.

BILL
Continued from Page 1A
said in the statement, his first comments in response to sexual assault legislation that has been furiously debated on Capitol Hill in recent months. The Pentagon estimates that 26,000 military members were victims last year. The sexual assault measures were part of a sweeping, $632.8 billion bill the Senate passed on an 84-15 vote late Thursday that also covers combat pay and other benefits, new ships and aircraft and military bases. The legislation also: Provides $552.1 billion for the regular military budget and $80.7 billion for the war in Afghanistan and other overseas operations, a reflection of deficit-driven efforts to trim spending and the drawdown in a conflict lasting more than a decade. Gives the administration additional flexibility to move detainees out of the U.S. prison at
FROM PAGE ONE

Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to foreign countries. It stops well short of the presidents goal of closing the detention facility and bans detainee transfers to the United States. Authorizes funds for the destruction of chemical weapons in Syria Provides money to study the feasibility of establishing a missile defense site on the East Coast. The legislation would strip military commanders of their ability to overturn jury convictions, require a civilian review if a commander declines to prosecute a case and require that any individual convicted of sexual assault face a dishonorable discharge o dismissal. The bill also would provide victims with legal counsel, eliminate the statute of limitations for courts-martial in rape and sexual assault cases, and criminalize retaliation against victims who report a sexual assault. The legislation also would change the militarys Article 32 proceedings to limit intrusive questioning of victims, making it more similar to a grand jury. Obama didnt specify what other reforms he would consider to address sexual assault if the military review doesnt meet his standards. The Senate is still debating a contentious proposal from Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., that would take away authority for prosecuting accused attackers from military commanders. The White House says Obama hasnt taken a position on the bill, which has been vigorously opposed by the Pentagon, creating a split within the administration. Hagel said in a statement shortly after Obama announced his orders that we share his commitment to doing whatever it takes to solve this problem. Hagel said he is pleased with the changes to the Uniform Code of Military Justice that were made by Congress and said hes already been making some of the changes required. Sexual assault is a stain on the honor of millions of military men and women, a threat to the discipline and the cohesion of our force, and we will not allow this to stand, Hagel said. The White House said the president remains open to all ideas for reform but that he supports the thrust of the reforms passed by the Senate in Thursday and wants to give them time to work. Gillibrand said she spoke with Obama about the matter Thursday but that she remains committed to earning enough support to pass her legislation, which could come up for a vote as early as next month. I do not want to wait another year to enact the one reform survivors have asked for in removing commanders with no legal training and conflicts of interest from the decision of whether or not to prosecute a rape or sexual assault, she said in a statement. We have the best fighting force in the world and they deserve a first class justice system. Nowhere in America do we allow a boss to decide if an employee was sexually assaulted or not, except the United States military. Presidential aides said the White House will be working with the Pentagon to develop a set of benchmarks so that the militarys review will be rigorous enough to bring about change. They said the review will include all the efforts underway to address the problem, including training and prevention programs and the way the justice system deters the problem and supports victims. The Pentagon has ordered a host of reviews and studies across the department and military services. In March, Hagel ordered a review of the militarys justice system in connection with sexual assaults. And a month later he laid out a department-wide sexual assault plan to better coordinate the initiatives being launched across the services. Hagel has been meeting weekly with senior service officers to track the progress of the beefed up training, prevention and treatment programs that the services have put in place over the year. And service members are already taking updated surveys that put increased accountability on commanders to enforce better command climates in their units, including their response to any sexual assault cases. Ernest E. Garcia, KHP Superintendent. One of the best ways to stay safe on the road over the next few days and during the holiday travel period is to know the conditions before venturing out. KDOT has a variety of ways to get information about road conditions. Travelers can obtain routespecific road conditions and weather by calling 5-11. The same information and more can be obtained by visiting the KanDrive website, http://www.kandrive.org, which also has maps, camera views of many routes and more, and the 511 mobile site, http://511mm.ksdot.org.

Cox said motorists should drive safely for the conditions. That always helpful to us because theres not a lot of cars on the edges of the roads when were trying to plow, Cox said. Be cautious and slow down. Ibarra said his crew also is ready to go with four snowplowers and sprayer trucks. When the storm hits, employees will begin 12-hour shifts. Ibarra said six employees will work each shift. Employees will continue to plow if the area is hit with 7 inches of snow. Hopefully, we dont,
TRAVELING?
Those planning to travel during or after the storm should follow the following safety tips: Completely clean frost and snow off all windows, mirrors, and lights, and use headlights to provide optimum visibility. Slow down, accelerate and brake gently, and increase following distance between other vehicles. Dont use cruise control. Allow for more travel time. Always wear a seat belt, and secure children in the proper child safety seats. Slow down and move over for stopped emergency vehicles and maintenance crews. If involved in a traffic crash, or need assistance, call 911, or contact the Patrol at *47 (*HP) from a cell phone. Call *582 (*KTA) on the Kansas Turnpike. To find out road conditions, call 511 from a landline or cellular phone, or view conditions at www.kandrive.org.
Ibarra said about the accumulation. To help make the streets safer for motorists, the city currently has about 200 tons of salt and 300 tons of a mixture, which also contains sand. Depending on the accumulation, the city will work mainly on major thoroughfares such as assessing information after pictures were taken of the intersection. Currently, there is no cost estimate. Thomas said everything is in the planning stage. The issue has been discussed in the past, but recently received attention again thanks to ViceMayor Honey Grants Stryker Cavalry Regiment, Vilseck, Germany. U.S. Senator Jerry Morans office issued a statement on the soldiers deaths Thursday afternoon. Americans will be forever indebted to these brave soldiers who laid down their lives for our country, Moran (R-Kan.) said. As we pay tribute to their service and sacrifice, we are reminded that freedom is not free. I ask all Kansans to join me in remembering their families, friends and the Fort Riley community in our thoughts and prayers. One soldier on board the helicopter was injured and survived. A statement from the NATO international military coalition said there was no insurgent activity in the area at the time of the crash. A Washington official originally said the helicopters engine failed before the crash, but later said it wasnt clear whether that was the case. Initial reports state the troops had mechanical problems, came under fire after the crash and it was unclear whether any of the casualties resulted from enemy fire. The 1st Division Combat Aviation Brigade sent some 2,000 soldiers to Afghanistan in August for a ninemonth deployment, replacing the 3rd Infantry Divisions Combat Aviation Brigade. According to a brigade news release in September, the soldiers are responsible for providing air support over a mountainous and desert region roughly the size of Montana. Sixth, Washington and Jackson streets. Plowing on secondary streets such as Grant Avenue, McFarland Road and Franklin Street, will follow. But if more than 3 inches of snow falls, crews will begin to work on residential streets. Be patient with us, Ibarra said. Well get work with the Flint Hills Regional Council and Rep.

there depending on how much snow we get. Well get there as soon as we can. When it comes to snow buildup in driveways from plowing, Ibarra also wants residents to mindful that employees have limited space to work with. According to a news release, the Kansas Department of Transportation also is ready for the storm. Its really up to Mother Nature now and weve done what we can do at this point and now its up to her. This is the time when our crews have the opportunity to do work that we know the public is going to see and they all

KDOT will join with other state and local agencies to enhance the safety of travelers before, during and after the storm. The Kansas Department of Transportation, Kansas Division of Emergency Management and the Kansas Highway Patrol, along with countless local partners, will be out working and monitoring conditions. We want all Kansas travelers to be able to safely arrive at their destinations, said Col.

In May, a KC-135 tanker aircraft base out of McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita crashed in Kyrgyzstan killing the entire Washington state-based crew. Bohler, who went by Chris, was the oldest of three children and came from a long line of soldiers. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that his great-grandfather served in Europe during World War I. One of his grandfathers enlisted in the Army during World War II, and a greatuncle enlisted in the Air Force during the Korean War. His mother, Deborah Bohler, is a long-time employee of the Wake County District Attorneys office. District Attorney Colin Willoughby said the family learned of the death before dawn Wednesday. He said the mother came by the office and left a note. He added that the family requested privacy. The following message was on Deborah Bohlers Facebook page Wednesday: At 5:30 this morning my heart shattered into a million pieces. Dear God gives us strength to get through this pain. Williams mother, Debbie Bussard Passerallo, told The Elkhart Truth in Indiana that her son was promoted to staff sergeant about two weeks ago. He was big and strong, she said.

Sporting KC partners with USL PRO teams for 2014

MLS Cup champion Sporting Kansas City has partnered with OKC Energy FC and Orlando City FC to be its USL PRO affiliates for the 2014 season, while former goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen will serve as head coach of the Oklahoma City club. Nielsen announced his retirement two days after Sporting KC beat Real Salt Lake to win its first MLS Cup since 2000. The expansion team in Oklahoma City will be his first coaching job. The affiliate deal means that Sporting KC will loan a minimum of two players to each USL PRO team next season. Its the second year of a two-year partnership with Orlando City, which will transition to Major League Soccer for the 2015 season. Sporting KC loaned six players to Orlando City last season.

Through the first month of the season, the Blue Jays have absolutely owned their opponents in the third quarter. Friday against TopekaSeaman, things were no different. Junction City junior Tanner Lueker and senior Jonathan Wilds hit threes on back-to-back trips down the court to take a 29-23 lead in the moments following the half. The Vikings couldnt keep up as the Blue Jays left with a 57-51 victory. Junction City coach Pat Battle said his team stressed the importance of a strong start to the second half.

Clint Dempsey to return to Premier League Fulham

U.S. national team captain Clint Dempsey will be returning to Fulham on loan from the Seattle Sounders. Cottagers manager Rene Meulensteen said Friday the 30-year-old forward has had a medical test. Dempsey scored 60 goals in 225 games for Fulham from 2007-12, including 50 goals in 184 Premier League matches. He spent a season at Tottenham before moving to Major League Soccer in August. Dempsey could spend about two months at Fulham ahead of Seattles opener against defending MLS champion Sporting Kansas City. Clint will be a boost for us, Meulensteen said.

He led the team with 15 points and knocked down key free throws to put the game out of reach when the Vikings were desperate to stage a comeback. Wilds effort from the line was a part of an overall improved job from the charity stripe an area the Blue Jays struggled significantly in a recent one-point loss to Hays.

Chiefs get McCluster back for game vs Colts

The Kansas City Chiefs will have dangerous punt returner Dexter McCluster back from injury when they play the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. McCluster missed last weeks win at Oakland after developing an infection in his ankle. Chiefs coach Andy Reid also said Friday that linebacker Justin Houston and left tackle Branden Albert could be ready for the Colts. Houston has missed three games after dislocating his elbow against San Diego on Nov. 24, while Albert has missed two games after hyperextended his knee. Reid also said that tight end Anthony Fasano, whos been out with a concussion, has been cleared to play against Indianapolis. Hes also missed the last two games. The Chiefs are tied with the Broncos atop the AFC West, while the Colts have already clinched the AFC South. Their game Sunday could be a preview of a first-round playoff matchup.

MANHATTAN Kansas State rewarded athletic director John Currie with a raise and a one-year contract extension on Friday after one of the most successful stretches in school history. Not only did the Kansas State capture Big 12 championships in football, mens basketball and baseball within the same year in 201213, the school also has embarked on $125 million in facility improvements spearheaded by Currie that have revitalized the athletic department. Our athletics department has achieved unprecedented success the past four years under Johns tremendous leadership, Kansas State President Kirk Schulz said in a statement. Johns vision and partnership have been critically important to the entire university family. The contract extension would keep Currie at Kansas State through June 30, 2019. His annual salary will increase by $100,000 to $575,000 for the remainder of the 2013-14 fiscal year through the 2014-15 and 201516 seasons, and then increase by $25,000 each remaining year.

Colts, Chiefs meet after model turnarounds

B Y D AVE S KREttA
Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. One year ago, the Indianapolis Colts, led by a new coach, built by a new general manager and guided by a new quarterback, rolled into Kansas City in the midst of a dramatic turnaround. Theyd won just two games the previous season, but were headed toward a winning record and a playoff berth. It was the kind of rapid renaissance that rarely happens in sports, even in the NFL, where things such as the draft and salary cap are supposed to make parity possible. Then again, maybe the turnaround wasnt so unique. After bringing in a new coach in Andy Reid, a new GM in John Dorsey and a new quarterback in Alex Smith, the Chiefs have done the exact same thing. They also won two games a year ago, and they also have wrapped up a winning record and a spot in the playoffs this season. Obviously, a great franchise and

has been for a long, long time in the Chiefs, just like our organization, Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. They have great leadership from the top down, good football players, a great coach in coach Reid. Hes done it for a long, long time and has been very successful and, like I said, they have great players and he has them believing. When the teams meet Sunday, though, it wont just be the collision of two feel-good stories. The Chiefs (11-3) are tied atop the AFC West with Denver, though the Broncos hold the tiebreaker for the division title. And the Colts (9-5) have already wrapped up the AFC South, but could improve their seeding for the playoffs with a pair of wins down the stretch. Then theres the possibility likelihood, even that the Chiefs will finish second in their division and have to visit Indianapolis two weeks from now in the playoffs. So both teams have plenty riding on the outcome at Arrowhead Stadium, where the forecast for Sunday calls for freezing temperatures and a possibility of snow.

He can make you pay running the ball, passing the ball, whatever the case may be. He can make you pay, Mathis said. Contending with Charles is only part of the problem Indianapolis (9-5) faces Sunday in what could be a playoff preview. The AFC South champs are the No. 4 seed going into Sundays games.

tinue to maintain and build upon our competitive future as a national leader in college athletics. Currie, who arrived in May 2009, inherited an athletic department that had fallen into debt and was racked by scandal. But hes not only helped to lift the program into the black, hes also helped Kansas State embark on an ambitious series of construction projects. The most recent was a $90 million renovation to Bill Snyder Family Stadium that was unveiled this past season. It included the demolition of the old press box and a new facility stretching from end zone to end zone that includes enhanced club seating and other amenities. Last year, the school unveiled a new basketball training facility adjacent to Bramlage Coliseum. It also opened a new rowing facility and renovated tennis facilities. Away from the playing field, Currie helped to guide Kansas State through a tense series of conference realignments. He was also played a major part in launching K-StateHD. TV, a premium digital network that airs programming that ranges from football games to Olympic sports. The football program, which won the Big 12 title last season, went 7-5 and is headed to the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl this season. The mens basketball team led by coach Bruce Weber perhaps Curries most significant hiring also won the Big 12 title last season, and is 7-3 and has won five straight games this season. The baseball team is also coming off a Big 12 championship. Kansas State has received 13 private gifts in excess of $1 million since Curries arrival, while participation in the Ahearn Fund has eclipsed 9,300 members for the first time. Currie, who serves on the Division I Administrative Cabinet, was one of two athletic directors named to SportsBusiness Journals Forty Under 40 list of national sports leaders. He was the 2012 Under Armour AD of the Year and the 2013 Bobby Dodd AD of the Year. He brings such passion and energy to our athletic program, said Mike Goss, whose name adorns the new tennis stadium. When you add his contributions to the great work being done by President Schulz and the rest of the K-State team, I have no doubt that K-States best days are still ahead.

Unfortunately for Gonzalez, the leagues record-setting tight end, the circumstances couldnt be much different. The 49ers are 10-4 and close to securing another trip to the playoffs. Atlanta, at 4-10, was the first NFC team eliminated from postseason contention, essentially making a disappointment out of Gonzalezs decision to put off retirement and return for a final season. Last year was last year, Gonzalez said Friday. Thats in the past. Even so, the Falcons freefall in the standings hasnt caused Gonzlaez to close out his career in bitterness. He has focused instead on the good times, from his first 12 seasons with Kansas City to his last five with the Falcons, and the remarkable consistency as the NFLs No. 2 career-leading receiver.
MINNEAPOLIS The Minnesota Vikings plan extra security for their final game at the Metrodome next weekend to avoid a repeat of the near-riot that broke out 32 years ago when the team played its final game at the old Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington. After the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Vikings 10-6 on Dec. 20, 1981, fans swarmed the field at the Met to grab anything they could. They tore down the goal posts, the loudspeakers in the end zone and pieces of the scoreboard. Nine people were arrested. Officials say theyre determined it wont happen again. They held a security summit at the Metrodome on Wednesday. There will obviously be a great deal of attention for inside security, just monitoring so that fans can celebrate, but do so safely and responsibly, said Medaria Arradondo, the police inspector in charge of the First Precinct in downtown Minneapolis. Nearly twice the number of Minneapolis police will be on hand when the Vikings play the Detroit Lions in the Metrodome finale Dec. 29 as compared with a typical game. Extra personnel from Whelan Security, the company that provides private security for the Vikings, will also be on hand, Minnesota Public Radio News reported. All told, were looking at close to 700 security representatives within the building, Vikings spokesman Jeff Anderson said. We dont expect any issues, but we want this to be a memorable game for our fans, and we want to do it in a safe and respectful way. Fans wont be allowed to take any parts of the stadium with them. Nobodys leaving with anything, said Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority Chair Michele Kelm-Helgen. Were putting that rule in place, and were going to stick to it from the beginning of the game to the end. Kelm-Helgen said the NFLs new bag policy will help. People wont be able to bring any kind of tools or anything that will allow them to unhook things, she said.
Thats what separates average players from good players, good players from Pro Bowl players and Pro Bowl players from Hall of Famers, Gonzalez said. Thats what I try to do every time that Im out there on that field. Every play is a chance for me to go out there on that field and be great. For the most part, despite only one playoff victory in his career, Gonzalez has done just that. Only Jerry Rice caught more passes. Only Rice, Terrell Owens, Randy Moss and Isaac Bruce had more yards receiving. Only Rice, Moss, Owens, Cris Carter and Marvin Harrison had more touchdown receptions. Gonzalez redefined his position, statistically surpassing the numbers posted by Dave Casper, Mike Ditka, John Mackey, Ozzie Newsome, Charlie Sanders, Shannon Sharpe, Jackie Smith and Kellen Winslow eight tight ends enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The great part about him is it doesnt matter if theres two games left or were in Week 1 or 2 or whatever, Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan said, he approaches each one the same way. Hes intense, focused and excited, and hes been that way for five years since Ive been around him. With just two games left, Gonzalez almost cant believe the end is near.

environs of Arrowhead Stadium could make the nohuddle difficult. MISCELLANEOUS POINTS: The Chiefs have scored 11 touchdowns on defense and special teams this season, third most in NFL history. Theyve also piled up 140 points off takeaways, by far the best in the NFL. Any time you can get points is a good thing, Chiefs safety Eric Berry said. NO HOLDING BACK: Even though the Colts and Chiefs might meet again in the playoffs in two weeks, neither team intends to hold anything back. Pagano and Reid both said theres enough game tape available that they wouldnt gain anything by holding plays or formations in reserve. I think you prepare yourself the same way, Reid said. If you play them again, you get yourself ready again. Thats just where were at.

TURNAROUND
are at least on an upward trajectory. The Colts have won two of their last three, including a 25-3 rout of the lowly Texans last week, while the Chiefs have scored 101 points in blowout wins over Washington and Oakland. Theyre a playoff team. We know how good they are. Theyre obviously very worthy of that position, Reid said. We know what we have to do. That said, here are five things to keep in mind when the Colts visit the Chiefs: CHARLES MVP RUN: Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles had five TDs last week, four through the air and one on the ground. He has a league-leading 18 touchdowns, along with
more than 1,800 yards from scrimmage. Im happy to get this opportunity in this system, said Charles, an MVP candidate. Im blessed that they trust me to handle as much as they put on me. TURNOVER TRIFLES: The Colts are 43-3 since 2000 when they dont commit a turnover, but theyre going against the NFLs best team at forcing them. Kansas City has 35 takeaways for a league-high plus-21 differential. The Chiefs forced seven turnovers last week against Oakland. NO HUDDLE: Indianapolis employed a no-huddle offense successfully last week against Houston, and might turn to it again in Kansas City. After all, Denver and San Diego gouged the Chiefs with up-tempo approaches during their three-game skid. But inclement weather combined with the noisy

The Jays also received a boost from the deadly outside shooting of senior Danny Thornton, who dropped all 12 of his points from beyond the arc. Battle said Thornton is finding his groove after hitting some big shots this month. Guys are shooting the ball when they have open looks, he said. Ive been telling everyone, and they dont believe it, but weve got pretty decent shooters. Weve got to get our open looks and take time to get them down and we did. Early in the game, when the teams found themselves in a defensive slugfest, the Jays relied on their big men, senior Semaj Johnson and junior Jordan L a w rence f o r offense. Johnson scored Jonathan Wilds dribbles e i g h t points in around a Hays defender the game and Lawrence knocked down six, with the latter doing all of his damage in the first half. Lueker made smart decisions at the point pertaining to when to drive and when to dish it to one of his teammates. He finished the contest with eight points. After taking a 42-31 lead into the fourth quarter, Junction City didnt panic under the pressure of a lead. The Jays remained calm while working the ball for open looks on offense. We did a much better job of taking care of the ball and we kind of spread the floor a little bit which allowed our guards to get some downhill running room, Battle said.

Sophomore Grace Craft and freshman Darja Russell also made big threes in the game. Russell was especially impressive for the second consecutive game. She showed no fear going inside against the significantly bigger Vikings. Parks said he is trying to bring Russell in slowly so she can adjust to the speed of the varsity game. Shes very aggressive and shes confident, he said after the loss. Were trying to prepare her for the varsity level but shes showing in the games, both JV and varsity, that I think shes going to be ready to contribute. But in the end, Junction City couldnt overcome the advantage held by Seaman. It didnt help that the Blue Jays were missing key players. We tried to nullify that with spreading the floor and taking open shots, Parks said. And what really hurt us was (sophomore) AKia Fain, our point guard, shes injured right now and she was hobbled quite a bit and then (senior) Shadaja Gamble, shes gone for break. Fain has been instrumental in the Blue Jays offense in the first month of the season. Losing Gamble, an athletic forward, also hindered Junction City in the contest. The locals will have an extended break before resuming practice following the Christmas holiday. Junction Citys next game is on Jan. 10 at Highland Park.
Turnovers a hurdle Raiders offense cant overcome

B Y MICHAEL WAGAMAN
Associated Press
ALAMEDA, Calif. It has been a bittersweet past five weeks offensively for the Oakland Raiders since Matt McGloin took over as quarterback. Theyre putting up nearly 370 yards a game and are scoring at a higher pace than they have at any time since the start of the 2011 season. The numbers in the red zone have also gone up, a sign that things might not be as bad in Oakland as they appear. Its one of the few bright spots Dennis Allens team can hold onto as it prepares for the final two weeks of an 11th consecutive non-winning season. Yet all that progress has gone largely unnoticed because of the Raiders turnover problems, an issue that has plagued the team all year. We have to protect the football, Allen said Friday. Thats been a point of emphasis this week. We have moved the ball well and we have scored a lot of points in the last few weeks but we have to protect the football. We cant put our defense in tough situations. Oakland set a season-high for scoring and put up 461 yards of offense but coughed up the ball seven times alone in last weeks 56-31 loss to Kansas City. Five of the turnovers came from McGloin, the undrafted rookie quarterback who threw a season-high four interceptions and lost a bobbled shotgun snap while making just his fifth NFL start.
there, handling the ball, they can be tough to guard. Junction City improves to 3-2 and 1-0 in Centennial League play. The team has an e x t e n d e d break before traveling to Highland Park for its next contest on Jan. 10. Getting a win is always important, no matter what time of the year it is, Battle said. But this one was big. Its a tough place to come play, (Seaman coach Craig Cox) does a great job preparing his kids and they played tough.

Ederly woman has mixed emotions
5B
Dennis the Menace
Marmaduke
Dear Annie: I am in my late 70s and have been with a wonderful man for some time now. Joe and I both lost our spouses several years ago. We each own our own homes and are debt-free, although I have to watch my finances more closely. Joe has asked me to sell my house and move in with him, but I have mixed emotions regarding our relationship. Although he has a very nice home, I am quite comfortable in my own place. To simply move in together without being married makes me wonder about his level of commitment to me. Joe is a kind and caring person. He has told me I can stay in his home for a lifetime should something happen to him. What if I moved in with him and then our relationship changed for the worse? I would no longer have a home, and at my age, it would be very difficult to begin all over. Should I just end the relationship now and be alone? I truly love this man, but I am at a crossroads. Torn in Toledo Dear Torn: When someone asks you to move in with him, and you arent ready to do so, the answer is a simple no. You dont have to end the relationship over it. If you need a commitment to marry before moving in, say so. Joe cannot read your mind. If he doesnt wish to marry you, feel free to continue to date him, but keep your own home. Youll feel more secure. Dear Annie: My stepdaughter has announced that she will be getting married next year. She would like a destination wedding in Tahiti. Her father and I do not have a lot of money. We told her we could give her a certain amount toward the wedding, but we could not afford for both of us to attend. Her response was, Youll figure it out. My husband is two years away from retirement, and we refuse to take out a loan. Im afraid this is going to cause tension in the family. Please help. Not Going Dear Not: Your stepdaughter seems rather selfabsorbed. Let her know that you have figured it out by deducting the cost of your airfare and hotel from the amount you have offered to give her toward the wedding. When she objects (and she will), be excessively sweet and say in that case,
Annies mailbox
her father will attend without you, and wish her well. People who plan exotic destination weddings place a huge burden on their friends and family and cannot demand that everyone show up. Dear Annie: Please tell Holding My Breath that the kindest thing she can do is tell this woman with killer breath to see a periodontist to rule out gum disease. If inadequately treated, it can lead to bone loss and the loss of her teeth. While in medical school, I learned very little about gum disease that results from inadequately treated gingivitis. Two of the major symptoms of this disease are bleeding gums and bad breath. Many years ago, I failed to tell my wife that she had bad breath, because I didnt want to hurt her feelings. I have regretted my ignorance ever since. For the past 40 years, she has endured complicated, uncomfortable and expensive procedures, which now include dental implants. Expenses have exceeded $100,000. We have discovered that regular six-month checkups with our dentist and dental hygienist are absolutely necessary. We also make sure to brush our teeth twice daily for at least two minutes at a time, along with daily flossing and rinsing with antibacterial mouthwash. Since we have started this regimen, neither of us has bad breath or bleeding gums. Her dentist can recommend the appropriate care products. An MD Who Learned the Hard Way

Horoscope
ARIES (March 21April 19). No, its not an accidental social moment. The person talking loudly enough for you to overhear really wants you to take notice and is actually hoping for a future friendship. TAURUS (April 20May 20). Environments have emotional weather, and youre like an expert meteorologist, observing peoples physical and subtle indicators to predict the next change in mood. GEMINI (May 21June 21). Gradeschool children may not have the confidence to find out whether so-and-so likes them, but youve long passed that phase. Instead of the roundabout way of getting information, youll go right to the source. CANCER (June 22July 22). If you behave as a mature adult, you shouldnt have to put up with regularly occurring hissy fits and a pattern of passive aggressive behavior from the other people your age with whom you choose to spend your time. LEO (July 23Aug. 22). You are at your best when you arent worrying too much about whether or not youre doing the right thing, the smart thing or the thing youre passionate about. Do what occurs to you to do, and while youre at it, try to have a little fun. VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22). As long as youre progressing, dont dwell on whether or not this is significant progress. Youre in a different place from where you were, and thats all that really matters now. LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 23). Youll be up for a job. That you can do this job is a given. So while others work at being perceived as credible and responsible, youll start with likeable and fun and go from there. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Are your hunches prophetic? Youll never know unless you act on them. A particularly strong inkling either will pan out within the next three days or not at all. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Learning about a person by looking at outdated pictures posted on social media is about as effective as stalking a person with Google Earth. Be brave. Get close in real time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Youll be rewarded for the efforts you make even though it feels like youre merely inching along. Sometimes the difference between winning and losing the race boils down to inches and seconds. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). For this day to play out the way you want it to, youre going to have to find more common ground with the people you wish to influence. A nonintrusive attitude of curiosity will help you get there. PISCES (Feb. 19March 20). You have something that many would love to claim. The trouble is that you earned it so long ago that you are now taking it for granted perhaps even complaining about it. Youll be luckier after youve adjusted your perspective.

Christmas traditions around the world in 1911

JAMIE MARTIN-CLARK

canning through old newspapers I ran across an article in the Dec. 14, 1911 Junction City Union newspaper which describes Christmas customs around the world. It was interesting to read about Christmas customs from over a century ago. The article starts in England with the pretty custom of bringing in the Yule. Children help the family bring in a huge log. On Christmas Eve the family gathers around the burning log to sing carols and tell Christmas legends. The halls are hung with mistletoe under which the unwary are kissed soundly and all join in the eating of a rich and blazing plum pudding. Christmas is the gala day for children in Holland. They have a beautiful custom for ushering it in, at midnight on Christmas eve, the men and boys dress in fancy costume, march through the streets in long procession, holding aloft a brilliantly lighted star, as they chant the Gloria in Excelsis. The little girls clad in white stand at the windows and bow to the star as it passes. One of the most lavish Christmas traditions can be seen in Germany. Church bells are rung on Christmas day to usher in the day and call everyone to early church. As the bells are ringing lights are quickly put in every window to light the way. After church the day is
These youngsters were captured on camera at 7th and Washington in 1900 being pulled on a sled behind their trusty mule. The children are identified as; Parker, Victor Parker, Schillito, E. Hall, M. Hall, N Wotling, B. Turner, Wotling, Grace Shillito, Harold Victor.
celebrated with a huge feast. The presents are simple but in every home is a blazing tree hung with cakes, colored candles and gifts. It is a pretty sight to see the children march in to see their tree. It is interesting to note that the German Santa, Kriss Kringle generally leaves a switch in the stockings to remind children to be good until his next visit. Servian children look forward to Christmas Eve when their father brings home a freshly cut young oak. He enters the house calling, Good evening and a merry Christmas. The children will gleefully respond, May God grant both to thee and mayst thou have riches and honor.They then shower the tree with corn and throw it in the fire to burn until Christmas morning. The day is greeted with pistol shoots. French children do not celebrate with a tree or stockings. They hang their slippers to be filled with treats. They also hang sheaves of grain along the eves of the house to feed the birds. On Christmas Eve the children of Belgium are dressed in happy colors and form a procession, which marches through the streets led by musicians. Each child will hold a figurine of the Christ child or a crucifix. Throughout Russia work is suspended for a fortnight during the Christmas season. In the country side the boys dress like animals and they are led through the streets by a band of boys making dreadful music. The procession goes door to door where they are given food, drink and small amounts of money. After reading through the article I realized some of the traditions were familiar. I think that many of us can identify with some of the customs because at some point in the distant (or not so distant) past our families immigrated to the United States and brought with them traditions that allowed them to connect to their past. Some of these traditions have been carried on by each subsequent generation. Many of us have started new traditions but in some way we have carried on traditions from the previous generations. As you go about this holiday season take a minute to stop and share with your family where those traditions come from. From all of us at the Geary County Historical Society, we wish you a merry and safe holiday season.

SALT LAKE CITY TLC has announced it will air a full series about a progressive polygamous family from Utah that starred in a one-hour pilot earlier this year. The cable TV network said Thursday it will produce nine, one-hour episodes about Brady Williams and his five wives and 24 children. The first episode is set to debut March 9. The September pilot episode drew good ratings. Members of the Williams family are among an estimated 15,000 independent polygamists in the West who dont belong to an organized, fundamentalist Mormon church. Williams and his wives withdrew from the Apostolic United Brethren during the mid-2000s after reevaluating their core beliefs. The family no longer teaches the tenets of fundamental Mormonism to their children at home, opting instead to take from other teachings such as Buddhism to instill good, morale values in their two dozen children, who range in age from 2-20.
Are we playing the Super Bowl ...
Utah family gets reality series
A mound of snow is shown outside of MetLife Stadium before an NFL football game between the Seattle Seahawks and the New York Giants, in East Rutherford, N.J. NFL officials may be embracing the notion of a cold-weather Super Bowl.
Associated Press
... or Hunger Games?

B Y J IM L ITKE
AP Sports Columnist
For all the dire predictions making the rounds, youd think they were playing The Hunger Games at MetLife Stadium on Feb. 2 instead of the Super Bowl. Cold or snowy is one thing, San Francisco 49er Phil Dawson said, but if its a blizzard it could be bad. ...That would make things crazy. Im not sure how that would work. Keep in mind Dawson is a kicker. And to be fair, scratch a half-dozen other players and NFL owners who have the final say on Super Bowl sites and youll get differing opinions about the wisdom of playing the seasons biggest game in the elements. Plenty grew up playing or watching the game that way and still love to; others were only too happy to get in out of the cold and stay there. But the players and owners all agree with something Colts lineman Cory Redding said recently about trading a few uncomfortable hours outside for a shot at the title. Snow, wind, freezing rain, it doesnt matter, Redding said. It just makes the confetti feel that much better. The guys that employ them feel just as strongly, even though all but one or two of the 32 owners will be ensconced in sky boxes that night instead of down on the field. But another handful or so will be paying even closer attention than usual, and not just to the game, but to the weeklong buildup. Like co-hosts John Mara of the Giants and Woody Johnson of the Jets, those owners have franchises with outdoor stadiums in cold-weather towns. And if this Super Bowl makes it big in New York, then the reasoning goes that the big game can make it anywhere. Foxborough, Philadelphia, Washington, Nashville, Chicago, Kansas City, Denver take your pick. Owners at those sites, and several others, have broached the subject before and especially lately, though none has been required thus far to put any money or resources where his mouth is and wont until the bidding process for the 2019 Super Bowl begins late next summer. After New York, the next three Super Bowls are set for Glendale, Ariz. (2015), Santa Clara, Calif. (2016; the 50th anniversary of the Superpalooza), and Hous-
ton (2017). The 2018 field has already been narrowed to Indianapolis, Minneapolis and perennial favorite New Orleans. All three finalists have or in the case of Minneapolis, will have a domed stadium. That winner will be announced in May. By then, serious ownership contenders for 2019 will have begun raising cash from civic, business and community groups and helped formed bid committees. Its not a small commitment. After winning the 2014 game, in a vote taken at the 2010 NFL owners meetings, the host New York-New Jersey committee raised $70 million to cover the cost of staging the event. Their final bill will have to cover everything from erecting a 60-foot-tall toboggan slide in Times Square to a series of contingency plans on clearing snow and delivering upwards of 80,000 fans to MetLife Stadium on game day. Other than coming up with the cash and an organizational plan, the bar for entering the Super Bowl lottery is low. A bid city must have 29,000 hotel rooms within an hours drive of the stadium (sorry, Green Bay) and be able to seat upwards of 68,000 fans on game day. It also has to provide two NFL-caliber practice facilities for the teams, buildings large enough to house a media center and the NFL Experience essentially a weeklong fan convention and range of sponsor and corporate hospitality gatherings. Even towns where the field gets chewed up during the season can confidently bid, since NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the league has arranged to bring in an entirely new playing surface for the big game in the past. At the end of the day, the considerations are the same as they would be for a game in a warm climate or indoors, McCarthy added. What did the product on the field look like? Did the logistics work to the benefit of everybody? How was the fan experience? How did it come across on TV? How were the sponsors treated? This is the pinnacle of our game. Its the one stage that everybody is looking at. For handicapping purposes, Redskins owner Daniel Snyder put down the first marker among his cold-weather counterparts during a break in those 2010 meetings.
Just before he and fellow owners agreed to waive the so-called 50-degree rule to pave the way for a successful New York-New Jersey bid previously, hosting cities required an average temperature of 50 or above during the week of the game Snyder emerged from a midmorning session and said, I think Washington should get one, no matter what. It is the nations capital. More than three years later, Snyder is part of a growing chorus of likeminded owners. But until they assess the final product in New York, all those pledges of support are only conditional. Everybody says, What if it snows? Well take the snow off the field, Denver owner Pat Bowlen said, and well play the game. ... The championship game should be played around the league. Everybody should have an opportunity to have it. This is where it all started. Right here, New England owner Robert Kraft said, referring to the region where football first took hold in the United States. We would love one day to hold it here if its a good experience there. I will, yes, Philadelphia owner Jeff Lurie said about entering a bid back in March. I will, if its a success. New York will help us. Meanwhile in Chicago, hewing to its reputation as a deal-making town, the mayor has been lobbying on behalf of the Bears behind closed doors. Rahm Emanuel made his case to Commissioner Roger Goodell last June in a conversation about several things that would allow Chicago and the NFL to expand their already wonderful relationship, according to a mayoral spokesman. Whether any of those cities, or more stealthy contenders like Tennessee, Carolina and Seattle, make it into the final mix remains to be seen. In the 47 Super Bowls spread across 15 different venues so far, no hosting team has ever made it to the big game. But two came close: the then-Los Angeles Rams lost the 1979 game played just down the road at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena; five years later, the 49ers ventured just 30 miles from home to play at Stanford Stadium. Based strictly on the numbers, the cold-weather franchise most likely to break that curse would be the Patriots. Using the 32-degree benchmark, New England is an NFL-best 23-6 (a win-
ning percentage of 79 percent) in such games. Among teams with at least 10 games in those conditions, its closest pursuer is Philadelphia (10-4), followed by Cincinnati (115), Green Bay (28-13-1) and Chicago (14-7). Five teams St. Louis, Arizona, San Francisco, New Orleans and Detroit havent won even once in the cold over that same span. Not that any or all of them wouldnt welcome the chance to try their luck in 2019.
If they have it in Alaska, if thats where they want to play the Super Bowl, I want to get my team there. Thats how I look at it, Buffalo coach Doug Marrone said. ... either Im there playing it, or Im at home feeling pretty ... and here Marrone paused to glance at Bills spokesman Scott Berchtold. Can I say the word I want to say? he began. Lousy? suggested Berchtold. Lousy, Marrone repeated. OK.

f you tuned into the David Letterman Show last night, you were witness to one of the newer traditions of the holiday season. For the twenty-seventh time since 1986, vocalist Darlene Love hit the stage and leter rip with a full throttle rendition of the rock and roll holiday classic Christmas (Baby Please Come Home). Named one of Rolling Stones Greatest Rock and Roll Christmas Songs, this tune is part of a collection that celebrated a special anniversary this year. Fifty years ago a compilation of contemporary holiday tunes sung by a stable of gifted and hot-asa-pistol artists dropped on the charts. A Christmas Gift for You from Phillies Records gave Phil Spectors now-famous wall of sound treatment to more than a dozen tunes sung by the likes of Love, Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans, The Crystals, and The Ronettes. This bit of feel-good pop had everything going for it and was ready to hit the charts with a bullet, but a case of awful timing saw it land with a glancing blow instead.

Librarians report It released on Nov. 22, 1963, the same day as one of the nations most somber moments, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Few felt like rockin around the Christmas tree that year and the album topped out at Number 13 on Billboard magazines special, year-end, weekly Christmas Albums sales chart. With that it was destined for obscurity and a slow demise in dusty record store sale bins across the country. Nine years later Apple Records rode to the rescue though, re-releasing the album with new cover art and a new title, Phil Spectors Christmas Album. This version went to No. 6 on Billboards Christmas album chart and the record and its tunes began to take hold in the psyche of Christmas pop culture. Rolling Stone recognized

Review: Mitty Stillers strong dramatic turn

LOS ANGELES Marketed as Ben Stillers bend toward drama, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty finds the actor, who also directed the feature, seemingly exuding super-human strength while jumping between buildings and battling his nemesis as they surf asphalt. The lampoon-like scenarios seem far too fanciful when attempting to take Stiller seriously. But these are just the narratives the title character weaves in his mind. In reality, Walter Mitty, played by a poised and sincere Stiller, is an insecure photo editor with an affinity for daydreaming. Adapted from a short story of the same name, which was written by James Thurber and was published in 1939 in The New Yorker, the outlandish scenes in Mitty bring the most memorable element of the original tale reality bending to the forefront. Thurbers sarcastic narrative found Walter Mitty at odds with his bickering wife and escaping his humdrum life by daydreaming he was a war hero, surgeon and sharp shooter. The first rendering of Mitty, which maintained Thurbers comedic tone, was realized on film in 1947. It starred Danny Kaye, who this time, battled with an overbearing Cheryl (played sweetly by Kristen Wiig). Unable to locate the image, which was shot by a long-standing Life magazine photographer, Sean OConnell (an explorer superbly pronounced by Sean Penn), Walter heads to Greenland where he hopes to find Sean and his coveted shot. Once there, Walter jumps out of a helicopter only to be nearly eaten by a shark when landing in the ocean. Its such a heart-pounding experience that even Walter wonders if what he just endured was real. But, alas, Walters finally having actual adventures, as his capacity for taking risks increases. In the midst of more action Walter skateboards down a hill in Iceland and escapes an erupting volcano he receives recurring calls from an eHarmony customer service rep (a facetious Patton Oswalt), who is determined to help Walter make his dull online dating profile more appealing. As we watch Walters world open up, we follow his journey across alluring locations like the Himalayas. When we finally meet Sean, who is perched on a mountain waiting for the perfect shot, he speaks to Walters evolution as he tells him he sometimes prefers to savor his personal moments instead of being distracted by his camera.

mother. Written by Steven Conrad, the contemporary rendition, in which Jim Carey was originally supposed to star, sees the real world altered with such wild inflection that its hard to digest. Visual techniques like interspersing the text of the opening credits into Walters surroundings, prove to be the most innovative and clever effect of the picture. Luckily, the CGI-marred moments flood only the first 30 minutes of the film, allowing for a loaded, inspiring experience familiar to other serious Conrad works like The Pursuit of Happyness. In the new Mitty, Stillers Walter works at Life magazine, which is transitioning from print to digital. A brilliantly vexing Adam Scott plays Ted Hendricks, the ringleader of a band of executives whove come to supervise the completion of the last issue and fire a large chunk of the magazines staff. In this take, the women arent nags. Shirley MacLaine, who plays Stillers mother, Edna, and Kathryn Hahn, who plays his sister, Odessa, are quite pleasant and supportive. Its Ted who acts as the villain. He takes to bullying Walter, who must pin down the negative image for the final issues cover. Walter consistently spaces out, especially when hes fantasizing about his co-worker,

The gift that keeps giving I

n October and November I talked about bullying and included a commentary about tolerance. December finds many cultures and religions celebrating or acknowledging family traditions and renewal, endings and beginnings. Even in the business world, companies are closing the books literally and figuratively on one year and turning their focus to the upcoming year. During the hustle and bustle of this holiday season, I challenge you to stop for just a few minutes and reflect on everything that happened within your family during 2013. Some people take time to publish a holiday letter which they share with friends and family but it doesnt have to be that formal. Write down the accomplishments your family achieved. Its easy to remember the big things like awards, sports accomplishments and academic achievements. Dig deeper than that, look for the small things. Did your toddler start dressing himself ? Did your five year old learn how to tie his shoes? Did you finally manage to get everyone out of the house on time every morning? All of those are worthy accomplishments that you
LAFARRIS RISBY
Brown Bag may not publish to the world but have special meaning. Each of them can be a springboard to larger accomplishments in 2014. Why is this important and how does it relate to bullying? Its about selfesteem. People with high selfesteem are less like to succumb to bullying. People who feel good about themselves are less likely to bully others. Often times, because we measure success or failure based on lofty end goals, we forget about the importance of progress towards goals. If your C students goal was to improve their grade to an A and they made a B, are they a failure? If your goal was to have your twoyear old potty-trained by the end of the year but he still has accidents, does that mean he is destined to be the only kid in kindergarten wearing a pull-up? Of course not. I am by no means suggesting that we stop having goals. I am suggesting that by adjusting our thinking from a pass/fail mentality, we
can build stronger families and reduce much of the self-inflicted stress that we all experience. By learning and teaching our children to celebrate small successes, we are reducing the amount of stress they feel and at the same time we are protecting them from some of the dangers of the world. Children who are bullied are sometimes perceived as weak, are less popular and have low self-esteem. This may not seem like a traditional holiday message, I beg to differ. One of the best gifts you can give your child is positive selfesteem. It doesnt cost anything and unlike the latest video game system or electronic gadget, this gift lasts a lifetime. Unlike other gifts, you can re-gift it as many times as you like and no one will complain. Best of all, its a gift you can give without feeling guilty.

December: Safe Toys & Gifts Month

With the holiday season approaching, your thoughts may be turning to shopping for toys and gifts. Youll want to get the children in your life their favorite toys, and there are thousands of toys to choose from in stores and online. Before you make those purchases remember to consider the safety and age-range of the toys. In 2007 alone, toymakers recalled over 19 million toys worldwide because of safety concerns such as lead paint and small magnets. In 2005, there were over 200,000 toy-related injuries. To prevent injuries, choose toys that are safe for the age of the child.Look for labels to help you judge which toys might not be safe, especially for infants and children under age three. For children of all ages, consider if the toys are suited to their skills and abilities. To learn more about toy safety, visit www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/pubs/toy_sfy. html. For toy safety shopping tips, visit www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/pubs/grand/toy/toysafe.html. Sources: U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

Twas the weekend before Christmas ...
CHUcK OTTE
Field & Garden ily traditions surrounding holidays, especially around Christmas. As we grow up and grow older we often find ourselves drifting away from those old traditions and developing new ones, and this is okay. As we go through life our lives blend with others and the resulting future is an amalgam of what we all bring in to the relationships. But I think it is important that we do have some traditions to hang on to. Traditions are what make memories. Memories are what we treasure sometimes after family members are gone. Memories are what can make us feel warm and contented inside as we share them and pass them on to future generations. Most cultures that survive, do so because of those traditions and the memories that they hold. Im looking forward to not doing very much traveling in the next couple of weeks. Im looking forward to Christmas Eve with my wifes family. The tradition is a little something old, a little something new. Ill cook a favorite Scandinavian food of mine called potato sausage. But instead of the lutefisk that I grew up with (trust me, it really is an acquired taste) well boil some shrimp instead. If I can get organized enough Ill also fix some Swedish rye bread (limpa) and maybe even some ostkaka, a good Swedish custard/cheese cake like dessert. If I dig deep enough in my pantry I think I even have a jar of lingonberries to go over the top of it. Writing this just now it brings back memories of my youth and Christmas Eve meals. Christmas Eve at my house, growing up, was much less about the presents and far more about family and people and food. I may not remember very many of the presents I received, well, other than that really cool Spirograph I received one year, but I can remember the Christmases we spent on the farm, or in Colorado or California with family. They are special memories and they include family thats now gone, which makes them even more special. So this year Ill cook just like my mother did. The house will be filled with wonderful aromas and more than just a few snacks and treats. Therell be laughter and talking, excited children waiting to open presents and long naps while a chilly wind and maybe a little snow drift by outside. The presents I receive will make far fewer memories for me than the people I spend the holidays with. The food I eat will taste better than ever because of
his has been a very different December. First of all, Thanksgiving was as late as it can be. This compressed that Thanksgiving to Christmas time frame by about a week. For various reasons, including a little vacation time, I was gone more than usual in early December. I was beginning to think I wasnt even going to get a chance to get into the Christmas spirit. I was playing Christmas songs but it just didnt seem to be helping. But then we finally got our Christmas tree and got it put up Wednesday night. Jaye decorated it right away and things are finally starting to feel a little more like Christmas. We all grew up with fam-
the hands that make it. And after new years rolls around, the memories will still keep me warm as winter grinds on. I hope you make some special memories this Christmas too. Memories of family and friends and of shared traditions. The fun of introducing kids to your familys history and the pure excitement in the eyes of a child as thy unwrap presents large or small. And in those moments I hope you find your own peace and happiness for now and Christmases yet to come. Merry Christmas everyone.

Living Resourcefully ater, the bowling alley, or retail clothing store. Give your time. Make coupons for babysitting, dishwashing, lawn mowing, or (based on the weekend forecast) snow shoveling. This conserves your financial resources as a time of year when they are especially sparse. Create wrapping paper from shopping and grocery bags, newspaper, old maps, or posters. Recycle the gift wrap from this year to use again next year. Some of my favorite memories from Christmas with grandma include reading the comic paper that she wrapped my gift in or seeing the many creases across the wrapping paper and knowing that my gift was tenderly wrapped with the same paper the year before. Thanks to grandma, I keep a stash of recycled paper, tissue, and gift boxes and bags. Dont wrap oversized gifts in paper. Just trim them with a bow or cover them with a sheet and make a show of the unveiling. Make sure that any Hanukkah and other candles have lead-free wicks and are made from naturally scented soy, vegetable or beeswax, not synthetically fragranced petroleum wax. If, for whatever reason, you cannot use regular table service for your meal, use paper plates made from recycled materials and ask everyone to write their names on their cup so that they use the same cup all day long. Dont use plastic tableware such as forks and spoons. It really takes no time at all to washes these up between the meals. Put perishable food away immediately after the meal. Grazing on food that has set out could lead to foodborne illness and make your family and friends very sick. Celebrate with your family and friends, enjoy the taste and smells of the season, and join me in being intentional about conserving energy, recycling paper and plastic, and reducing overall waste. Contact me at the Geary County Extension office (785) 238-4161 if you have any questions. Wishing you the very best the season has to offer and until next time keep living resourcefully.
ur family Thanksgiving celebration hit a 20 year record high this year in the area of attendance. Even with two deployed family members, we were able to get 29 people stuffed in to my sisters ranch-style house with only a dozen of those being under the age of 18. We stayed for both the noon and evening meals and enjoyed a great day of food, fun, and a lot of generated trash. I recently read some information provided by the Mote Marine Lab of the U.S. National Park Service in Sarasota, Florida. Did you know that it takes an unidentified amount of time for foam plates and cups to decompose in the environment? (Other sources estimate that these products will never decompose or that they take in excess of 1 million years.) Plastic beverage bottles will take 450 years, plastic bags will take 10 to 20 years, a waxed milk carton takes three months, and paper towels take two to four weeks. The common plastic fork and spoon are typically petroleum-based products that is estimated to take anywhere from 10 to 100 years to decompose and leaves behind undesirable bi-products in the soil and water as it does. After reading this, I felt pretty good about our family using paper plates for the Thanksgiving meal, but I can only imagine how many plastic forks and spoons we threw away that day. My family is just one of millions that contribute to the fact that Americans generate approximately 25 percent more trash than normal between Thanksgiving and New Years Day thats a million extra tons of garbage created every week. As we plan for our upcoming Christmas gathering where there will be both food and paper-wrapped gifts, I have been thinking how we can be more intentional about reducing our waste and choosing products that balance making the meal more convenient while also making it more environmentally friendly. Here are some (sustainable) holiday tips I have collected as my planning began: Take some time to be intentionally in your gifting and make the gifts practical items that they need and/ or use regularly. Save time, conserve fuel, and prevent pollution by making just one or two big shopping trips and take a list so that you dont have to make follow-up trips. One of my favorite gifts is the handmade dishwashing cloths that I can throw in the laundry after each meals cleanup (thanks, Jane.) Give gifts that dont need to be wrapped, like gift certificates to the movie the-
