Buzzing about Medal of Honor winner, JC native passes away
LOS ANGELES World War II Medal of Honor winner and former Junction City native Walter Ehlers passed away Thursday in Los Angeles. He was 92. Ehlers was born May 7, 1921 in Junction City, and was part of the 16th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division when they participated in D-Day on June 6, 1944. He received the Medal of Honor after fighting through German forces and carrying a wounded rifleman to safety despite being injured himself. After receiving medical treatment, Ehlers refused to be evacuated and returned to lead his squad, according to the Armys website.

More military downsizing?

B Y A LIX KUNkLE aND RObEr T B Ur NS revealed many details of the defense spending plan that will be part of the 2015 budget President Barack Obama will submit to Congress next week. Hagel described it as the first Pentagon budget to fully reflect the nations transition from 13 years of war. At the core of his plan is the notion that after wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that proved longer and more costly than foreseen, the U.S. military will no longer be sized to conduct large and protracted ground wars. It will put more emphasis on versatile, agile forces that can project power over great distances, including in Asia. Hagel stressed such changes entail risk. We are entering an era where

American dominance on the seas, in the skies and in space can no longer be taken for granted, he said. However, budget constraints demand that spending be managed differently from the past, with an eye to cutting costs across a wide front, including in areas certain to draw opposition in the Congress, he said. He proposed, for example, a variety of changes in military compensation, including smaller pay raises, a slowdown in the growth of tax-free housing allowances and a requirement that retirees and some families of active-duty service members pay a little more in health insurance deductibles and copays. Although these recommendations do not cut anyones pay, I realize they will be controversial, Hagel said, adding that the nation cannot afford the escalating cost of military pay and benefit packages that were enacted during the war years. If we continue on the current Please see Military, 8A

WASHINGTON (AP) Looking beyond Americas post-Sept. 11 wars, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Monday proposed shrinking the Army to its smallest size in 74 years, closing bases and reshaping forces to confront a more volatile, more unpredictable world with a more nimble military. The nation can afford a smaller military so long as it retains a technological edge and the agility to respond on short notice to crises anywhere on the globe, Hagel said. He said the priorities he outlined reflect a consensus view among Americas military leaders. In a speech at the 1-year mark of his tenure as Pentagon chief, Hagel

For the staff of Custer Hill Elementary, not knowing whats down the road is the worst part. The Geary County Board of Education received a feasibility study for the possible closure of the school during a work session Monday. Next, Unified School District 475 officials will examine financial and enrollment findings. Once we find out whats going to happen, I think well be positive and support one another as we make those decisions about where were going, Principal Melanie Laster said. Staff members will be notified about whats happening next before the end of the school year. Board members began discussing closing Custer Hill Elementary in January. District officials are concerned about the condition and usability of the building. The issue came about when the capacity and condition of Fort Riley schools were being examined.

Distracted driving a no on post

Dont use that cell phone unless it is hands free
B Y JULIE F IEDLER

1st Infantry Division Public Affairs

FORT RILEY Four seconds is a big deal. In four seconds, drivers can cover the distance of a football field at a speed of 65 mph. Glancing down at a Smartphone or fiddling with a radio can eat up four seconds in a flash. A driver (who) is distracted by just reaching for their cell phone or hooking their cell phone to their car to talk hands free is just as distracted as the driver (who) is texting or has a phone to their ear, said Lt. Michael McLain, watch commander, Fort Riley Police Department, Directorate of Emergency Services. Theyre three times more likely to be involved in an injury accident. The handling of cell phones while driving whether to talk, text, search for a playlist or other activity is prohibited on post per Fort Riley Regulation 190-5. The only time you can use a cell phone is with a hands-free device, McLain explained. If (a police) officer sees you with a cell phone in your hand you can be stopped and cited. Citations carry a $75 fine on the first offense. Repeat offenders may have their onpost driving privileges suspended. McLain said officers on patrol see drivers using cell phones on a daily basis. It is a high priority for our department because we see it so much, and it is against the law, he said. We want to get the word out because not everybody knows when they come to Fort Riley that you cant use your cell phone. While glancing down at a screen for an instant might not seem like a big deal, it can result in property damage, injury or even fatality, McLain said. Just having a conversation is putting you at risk, he said. Youre still not thinking about driving. Youre thinking about your conversation. Thats where the risk inherently lies You need to focus on driving. If drivers get a call or message they must answer, McLain suggested getting off the road and turning on their hazard lights before taking the call. You dont want to present a hazard to other drivers, he said. Make sure your cars completely off the roadway. And, at that point, you can have your conversation. McLain stressed other distractions, like eating, putting on makeup, turning around to talk to people in the back seat and other behaviors that take a drivers focus off the road also are ill-advised.

Dagger HQ, staff prep for Africa training mission

2nd ABCT Public Affairs

FORT RILEY Soldiers and leaders with Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division spent two weeks earlier this month fine tuning their brigade staff operations ahead of a March mission in Africa, as part of the units regional alignment with the continent. Despite losing two whole days and much of another due to more than a foot of snowfall, the Soldiers managed to erect a fully-functioning Tactical Operations Center and conduct a major staff exercise, which included a visit by the Hon. Christine Fox, deputy secretary of defense. Even though (we) lost two training days, it only had very minor impacts on the next week, said Maj. Charles Slagle, executive officer, 2nd ABCT. The fact that we lost those days and soon after hosted the deputy secretary of defense, it is a big credit to (brigade operations sergeant major) Sgt. Maj. (Shane) Aki

and everyone who pitched in to make it happen. During their assignment in Uganda, portions of the brigade staff will observe their counterparts in the Ugandan military, exchanging ideas and procedures on how to best operate a brigade TOC, which can be called the brain of a brigade combat team. Having such an exercise so close to leaving could come in handy. Its a good refresher, said Cameron Johnston, brigade provost marshal noncommissioned officer in charge, about the exercise. So going into this (mission in Uganda), we will have a better understanding and be better able to coach our counterparts. Slagle agreed. These are all perishable skills. Youve got to get iterations of using them to maintain those skills, he said. A major part of the exercise was getting the staff sections, including intelligence, aerial assets, fire support, operations and others to engage in the military decisionmaking process, a seven-step process for military decision making, from the receipt of the mission through the production of orders to subordinate units.

Going through the whole (military decision-making) process is exactly what were going to be doing with the Ugandans, he said. To enable the various sections to communicate, the exercise also required that many digital systems were fully operational machines like the Command Post of the Future, Blue Force Tracker, Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System and more. Fox visited the TOC to observe how the systems functioned together to form a fully- functional center. Fox was briefed by Dagger Brigade leaders, including Col. Jeffery Broadwater, commander, 2nd ABCT, during her visit. Overall, Slagle said the exercise was a success. For me, setting up the physical infrastructure and exercising all the procedures of the staff planning process was the major point of (the exercise), he said. The biggest thing was setup and talking back and forth, and we did that, and Im very happy with how it turned out.

tions. Neither the FHRTA nor the FHEDD are a done deal, which is why Clark was moved to a part-time position to cut salary costs. That gives us now 15 months to get those two in place, Clark said. Even if the FHEDD and FHRTA are formed, the council still would likely need to go without a fulltime executive director for one or two years. Clark said one or two more funding streams would be needed to afford that fulltime position. Still, the council needs to locate more funding options before its HUD grants time extension runs out. Time is our biggest enemy right now, he said. We need time. Council member Vern Hay, Morris Countys representative, said it may be time to ask member communities to contribute more. The current assessment rate for membership is 50 cents per capita of the member jurisdiction. We all addressed that that was start-up costs and would likely increase, Hay said. We need to find out how loyal our constituency is. Can we raise that assessment? For now, the council decided to allow Clark and the FHRC staff to work on a strategic plan that will determine the councils direction. The goal is to have the plan finalized by August, Clark said. Until a clearer path is identified, FHRC president and Geary County Commissioner Ben Bennett told the rest of the board to talk positively to your communities about the council. There are naysayers now and there will be people who dont believe in this, he said.

Charlie Riedel Associated Press medical research or textbook construction. Truman Medical Centers in Kansas City, Mo., where Wolf obtained the decapitation X-ray, said Friday it wouldnt have granted Wolf permission to use images of a shooting victim in that manner. Officials at Shawnee Mission Medical Center, which is linked to X-rays on the Internet depicting a person embedded with shotgun pellets and marked as property of TheWolfFile.com, said Wolf had pledged to request removal of the X-rays from a California political website. But Mallory Laur, a marketing specialist for the center, said the X-rays on the site werent a violation of federal medical privacy law. De-identified health care images are often used for education and other purposes, she said. Leroy Towns, a spokesman for Roberts, said the news about Wolfs Facebook interactions has raised questions about the doctors legal and professional responsibilities to protect the privacy of patient medical information. For any doctor to make patient records public and then use the records for public discussion and entertainment is just unthinkable, Towns said. Allegations of such lack of judgment demand extensive scrutiny and investigation. B Y JOHN HANNA

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) A tea party-backed Kansas radiologist who is trying to unseat longtime Republican U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts has apologized for posting X-ray photos of fatal gunshot wounds and medical injuries on his personal Facebook page several years ago, but he called the revelation about the images the work of a desperate incumbent. In addition to the images, Milton Wolf also participated in online commentary layered with macabre jokes and descriptions of carnage, The Topeka CapitalJournal reported. The report about the images, which came from hospitals in the Kansas City area on both sides of the state line, drew criticism from medical professionals around the region who called their display on social media irresponsible. The dignity and privacy of the individual should be protected, said John Carney, president of the Center for Practical Bioethics in Kansas City, Mo. It doesnt sound like theyre being protected if theyre, obviously, on Facebook. Carney said the summary of Wolfs postings provided to him would be widely viewed as beyond alarming for a professional in the field of medicine.In an interview, Wolf told the newspaper he received permission from patients when required before making use of records or images. He claimed usage, including

Kansas lawmakers Candidate apologizes for Facebook posts staying course on public pensions
KANSAS SENATE
AP Political Writer
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) A proposal to start a new 401(k)-style pension plan for new Kansas teachers and government workers and a competing plan to boost the benefits of public retirees failed Monday to clear a committee in the state House. The House Pensions and Benefits Committees voice votes on the measure suggested that many lawmakers arent enthusiastic about major changes to policies theyve enacted in recent years to improve the longterm financial health of the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System. The pension system is projecting a gap of nearly $10.3 billion between anticipated revenues and its commitments to retirees through June 2033, but it also expects the shortfall to melt away because of laws enacted in 2011 and 2012. Changes in recent years boosted state contributions to public pensions and even committed profits from state-owned casinos. The state revised benefit plans for existing employees and created a new one for workers hired starting next year that moves away from traditional plans that guarantee benefits up front, based on an employees salary and years of service. But the alterations stop short of creating a 401(k)style plan, in which benefits are tied to investment earnings. We need to stay the course, said Rep. John Barker (R-Abilene). The House last week approved a bill, 94-26, to revise parts of the pension plan for workers hired starting next year, and the Senate established a special committee to look at the changes. But legislators in both parties have said they see little appetite to go further. GOP legislators whove pushed for a new, 401(k)-style plan note that theyre common among private companies. They argue that tying retirees benefits to investment earnings eventually eliminates the risk that taxpayers will have to cover a long-term funding shortfall. When youre in a hole, the first thing youve got to do is stop digging, said Rep. John Rubin (R-Shawnee).

In this Nov. 8, 2013 file photo Republican U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts speaks at a campaign appearance in Overland Park, Kan. Tea partybacked Kansas radiologist Milton Wolf, who is trying to unseat the longtime Republican, has apologized for posting X-ray photos of fatal gunshot wounds and medical injuries on his personal Facebook page several years ago, but he called the revelation about the images the work of a desperate incumbent.
Facebook posts, that didnt reveal an individuals identity didnt require prior authorization. In a statement issued over the weekend, the Johnson County Republican asked for forgiveness from anyone who was offended by the images. He also assailed Roberts for waging a war on doctors by telling people about them. The Capital-Journals report did not say how the newspaper obtained the photos. Several years ago I made some comments about these images that were insensitive to the seriousness of what the images revealed, Wolf said. Soon thereafter, I removed those images and comments, again several years ago. For them to be published in a much more public context now, by a political adversary who would rather declare war on doctors than answer serious questions that Kansans have, is truly sad. A news release by Wolfs campaign accused Roberts of participating in a misleading character attack in what it called the most desperate move of any campaign in recent history. He said the medical images including an X-ray of a man decapitated by gunfire were uploaded to social media sites and other online venues for educational purposes and that they also served to demonstrate the evil lurking in the world. But an array of professionals involved in medical ethics condemned his airing of the information outside the confines of a doctor-to-doctor consultation, or for the purpose of formal

City of Wichita considers future of Equus Beds Aquifer

B Y BILL WILSON

The Wichita Eagle

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) Wichitas $240 million aquifer storage and recovery program promoted to taxpayers in the early 1990s as a way to supply the city with water for 50 years could soon be relegated to serving as a bit player in the citys longterm water future. The Equus Beds groundwater aquifer, north and west of the city, is being drained by the city of Wichita and other municipal and agricultural users faster than the recharge project, dubbed ASR by city officials, would be able to replenish it. So City Council members are considering where the costly project fits into the long-term water supply it was supposed to provide. The recharge project takes water out of the Little Arkansas River, treats it to remove farm chemicals and other pollutants, and stores it in the aquifer for later use. The project is only partially finished, The Wichita Eagle reported. Were challenging every long-held assumption about water, mostly that were headed down a single course the fullblown ASR, said City Manager Robert Layton. We need to figure out whether pulling water out of the river will give us everything we need, and we need to look at the cost of other water options. One question is whether to finish the aquifer project phases 3 and 4, which some council members say could cost $300 million, potentially driving the total tab to over a half-billion dollars. Two options have far more traction at City Hall: reusing water from the sewage

When the recharge project resumed in April 2013, it had capacity to pull 15 million gallons a day out of the Little Arkan-

Longwell says it could be time for the city to move on from the aquifer project. I like the fact that we dont lose water to evaporation, like Cheney, he said. But personally, I would have rather seen us bring water over from El Dorado and pipe it into the aquifer every day rather than capture water for 30 days, maybe, when the river is high enough. My real heartburn is for us to finish what it would require to get that aquifer done, that could be $300 million over the $240 million were already wondering about. Running a pipe from El Dorado is a whole lot cheaper than that, especially when Wichita ratepayers are carrying these costs themselves for an entire region. Layton said hes not ready to propose mothballing the aquifer project. Were going to take feedback from the constituents, roll that into the mix, he said. That doesnt mean that were going to put it on hold or not use it to any more capacity yet. Perhaps there are ways to use some excess capacity in the ASR and make some cost-effective modifications that doesnt commit us to a next phase of the project, but could help us with other solutions, like El Dorado water or a re-use plan. City officials estimate that the cheapest solution around $150 million is to reuse and re-treat about 30 million gallons of water a day from the sewage treatment plant.

Another view The Olympics cant disguise Putins quest for dominion
The following editorial appeared in the Chicago Tribune on Friday, Feb. 21
With the Olympics in Sochi, Russian President Vladimir Putin hoped to rivet the worlds attention on the New and Improved Russia, a rising-again world power to be reckoned with, a country on the road to global glory. And why not? Things have been going Putins way. His brinkmanship forestalled a U.S. strike on Russias man in Damascus, President Bashar Assad. National Security Agency leaker in chief Edward Snowden is safely ensconced in Moscow, thumbing his nose at Washington. And long-downtrodden Russia now hosts ... an Olympics! Bard College professor Walter Russell Mead recently summed up Putins political prowess in The Wall Street Journal: The most daring and acrobatic figure in Sochi this week isnt a snowboarder; it is Vladimir Putin, whose death-defying geopolitical gamble is the hottest game in town. ... Russian diplomacy is a dazzling spectacle these days and despite his considerable handicaps, Mr. Putin is skating rings around his clumsy and clueless opponents in Washington and Brussels. But Sochi isnt a Russian triumph, and were not just talking about the Russian hockey teams loss to the United States. The spectacle of Sochis ice dancers, skiers and snowboarders the Free World gathered in peaceful competition now competes for headlines with increasingly bloody, fiery protests in Ukraine that Putin helped ignite. In brief: Late last year, Ukraine was on the brink of signing a trade and integration deal with the European Union, and many Ukrainians hoped that westward tilt would boost the countrys economy and bring genuine democracy. But such a deal also would have deep-sixed Putins hope to rebuild a Soviet-like sphere of power over neighboring countries. So Putin persuaded (ahem) Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych to snub the EU with a last-minute offer to buy $15 billion in Ukrainian debt and to slash the price of Russian natural gas supplies to Ukraine. Protests erupted. The government cracked down. On Thursday, fighting between police and protesters intensified, triggering fears that Yanukovych would declare a state of emergency and call in the military. The death toll is mounting. The Olympic spotlight dimmed Sunday when the Games closed. And with that, no more distractions from the status quo ante: The corrosive reality of Vladimir Putins Russia will again take center stage. Despite its oil and gas resources, Russias economy is wobbly, its growth rate last year an anemic 1.3 percent, down from 3.4 percent in 2012. Putin has failed to build a robust, free-market economy or anything close to a full-fledged democracy where dissent is tolerated if not somewhat encouraged. The Kremlins heavy-handed political, diplomatic and economic tactics spook many investors. These days, Russians also are enduring the most severe crackdown against human rights since the collapse of the Soviet Union, says the pro-democracy organization Freedom House. Putin has harassed advocacy organizations under the pretense of shielding Russia from foreign agents. Many organizations have been subjected to aggressive and intrusive inspections, Human Rights Watch says. One image from this week captures perfectly how Putins thin-skinned Russia handles criticism: Cossack militias apparently attacked the punk activist group Pussy Riot young women in neon-colored balaclavas with pepper spray and whips as they prepared to play a new song, Putin Will Teach You to Love the Motherland. They were whipped for trying to sing a song. Putins Iron Curtain has a zero-sum relationship with the West. If Russia reasserts dominance over parts of Europe, Asia and the Middle East, the U.S. and its allies lose. If Ukrainian protesters force a rapprochement between their country and the EU, it is Putin who loses. Ukraine is on the brink now. It could again become a loyal client state of Russia, firmly under Putins iron thumb. Or ... it could move closer to the West, spoiling Putins dream of greater regional and world influence. Thats a competition the U.S. and its European allies must win.

Trying to even the score

Lets figure that you probably dont want to see a lobbyist, or maybe a corporate chief, handing a legislator a check for his/her campaign fund before the legislator goes into the House or Senate to vote on a bill. Now, that would be a little ... unseemly, wouldnt it? Well, it if was that simple, wed be done. Thats illegal. Lobbyists and corporations and unions really anyone except individuals cant contribute to anyones legislative campaign funds after Jan. 1 of each year and before the formal adjournment of the Legislature for the year, called sine die, usually in late May or early June. Now, that sounds fair. But ... Democratic leadership in the House and Senate have special campaign committees that can accept money during the legislative session that will later be used for financing their members campaigns. Republicans in the Senate used to have one of those during-the-session fundraising vehicles but it is now out of play (long story), and House Republicans more than a decade ago never started that special fund when they had the chance. So ... Republicans want to even the score. If Democrats can raise campaign

MARTIN HAWVER
Commentary money during the session from lobbyists and corporations and unions and such, Republicans want to, too. There are two ways to do this. Republicans have the votes to just shut down the Democrats ability to raise money through their special leadership funds so nobody could raise campaign money from anyone but pedestrians during the session. Its not the fault of Democrats that Republicans dont have special leadership funds, but thats not much of a consideration for Republicans. The way Republicans want to level the fundraising ground is to allow political parties to designate one leadership committee for each party in each house that is allowed to accept campaign contributions during the legislative session. That evens things up. That way House and Senate Republicans have the ability to raise money that Demo-

crats can now. It might be a little unseemly, but the ground will be level if Senate Republicans who are pushing and have the votes to pass the bill that House Republicans, that again, they have the votes to pass, would like, too. Now, youve probably guessed that neither Republicans nor Democrats are bashful about pushing big-money contributors to cough up campaign funds before that Jan. 1-through-adjournment drought. They may even remind those donors that they supported issues important to those business checkbook owners. But during-the-session solicitation of contributions would be done by a leadership committee and not by individual lawmakers. Good bill? Bad bill? Talk among yourselves ...

High wire acts

voters are able to understand what an amendment does, HB 2518 allows for ballot language to be explained in plain English instead of legal jargon. These ballot language statements would need to be approved by both the Attorney Generals office as well as the Secretary of States office and would be purely nonpartisan and unbiased. This has passed the House and now goes to the Senate. Lawmakers are heading home after next week. Tuesday (25th) is the last day for committees to meet before the end-ofweek turnaround, which marks the end of the first half of the 2014 legislative session. By Friday, most House bills must be out of the House and most Senate bills must be out of the Senate with the exception of special exempt committees. Otherwise, those bills are likely dead for the year. That means we will be spending all day debating bills on the floor on Wednesday, Thursday, and possibly Friday. We then take a four-day break to allow our staff to make all of the bill transfers to the other house before returning Wednesday, March 5.

Quote of the Week: I am from Kansas. How much more American can you get. Clark Kent (Superman) My Take: A glut of negative national publicity is all the buzz inside and outside the Capitol. Most of us inside are trying to be productive and working on the issues for which you sent us to Topeka. Important concerns like job creation, education funding and lowering property taxes. The headlines instead go to those who want to count immigrants in schools, have sonograms performed on pregnant women in a committee, proposing to disallow local government employees from addressing public policy being made in Topeka, and removing local control of security issues from our local sheriff or police officers. The latest Kansas bill proposal to hit the national news circuit is the one on who can spank who and how hard. I could go on. If it looks like a circus and acts like a circus, perhaps it is a circus. Many of us are trying to ignore the high wire acts and be more substantive in our efforts.

This includes Kansas College and Career Ready math and reading standards, Common Core math and English language arts standards, and Next Generation Science Standards. Also null and void: social, emotional, and character development standards put in place by the Kansas BOE. Those supporting the change said decisions on standards had been made behind closed doors with a lack of parental involvement. Some complained the math standards were too easy, while other critics said they were too difficult. Opponents of the bill included superintendents, teachers, school board members, parent-teacher organization members, current and past students and others from the education community. When constitutional amendments are placed on ballots, current law has the language spelled out in the technical legal language, which is often difficult to understand, especially for voters who arent lawyers.

Police: Man shot at posh Long Island wedding hall

BY FRANK ELTMAN

AROUND THE NATION

Associated Press
HUNTINGTON, N.Y. (AP) Gunfire erupted at a storied mansion-turned-wedding palace Monday, leaving one man wounded, police said. Suffolk County police said the man was hospitalized after the shooting around

12:30 p.m. in the parking lot of Oheka Castle, a Gilded Age estate on Long Islands Gold Coast that has become a celebrity wedding site and movie backdrop in recent years. Police didnt immediately release the mans name, the nature of his injuries or which hospital was treating him. A message left at Oheka

Castle wasnt immediately returned. Police didnt immediately release any information about a shooter as of Monday afternoon. A police officer kept reporters outside the stone gates of the estate in Huntington. Built to resemble a French chateau, the 127-room Oheka Castle was one of Americas biggest private homes when

built for financier Otto Hermann Kahn in 1919, according to its website. After his 1934 death, it served functions ranging from sanitation workers retreat to military academy, then eventually was abandoned and fell into disrepair in the 1980s. A prominent Long Island developer, Gary Melius, bought the dilapidated prop-

erty in 1984 and soon began restoring it. Melius sold it a few years later, then regained ownership in 2003. The Oheka Castle became a hotel that has hosted the weddings of the well-known. Kevin Jonas of the Jonas Brothers married Danielle Deleasa at the resort in 2009. Former President Bill Clinton presided over the

wedding of then-Rep. Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin, a close aide to then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, in 2010. Oheka Castle also been seen as a backdrop in a number of movies, television shows and magazine photo shoots, and, over the years, has been used for high-profile political events and fundraisers.

Husband suspicious of wife after being disinvited

Dear Annie: My wife of nearly 30 years and I are having some difficulties. Recently, she asked whether I wanted to go to Rome for a business conference. She thought we could see the sights afterward. I said yes, as Im recently retired and have plenty of time. However, a few weeks later, I was uninvited. She said I wouldnt enjoy the weather. Last week, I discovered that she is staying an extra day with someone else. She made these plans long before she disinvited me. Yesterday, she told me that a woman from work is staying with her for an extra day. Ive never heard this womans name before. These meetings are held once a year in different locations, but this is the first time she has stayed any extra time. Additionally, over the past year, her behavior at work has changed. She has started wearing makeup and nicer clothes. She mentions taking walks with some guy or another and having coffee or lunch with some other guy. Im sure taking a walk with Peter or having coffee with Paul and casual conversations with Larry are innocent enough. But Ive noticed that these same guys only interact with attractive women like my wife. My wife doesnt see a problem, but I know how guys think. I worry that my wife is looking beyond me. Am I worrying about nothing? Anxious in Davis, Calif. Dear Anxious: The fact that your wife wants to be more attractive at work is not necessarily a problem. A lot of married people enjoy flirting for the attention and have no interest in pursuing things further. However, when your wife disinvites you to a trip to Europe and then stays an extra day, we would be concerned that she intends to party. Things can get out of hand when you are far away from your spouse and want to impress your work friends with how wild and crazy (and young) you are. Its time to have an honest conversation with your wife about your concerns. If she refuses to explain herself, counseling is the next step. Dear Annie: I have a big problem. I am only 49 and have been married twice. My first wife passed away 10 years ago in May, and I am still mourning her death. My new wife of seven years doesnt think its normal that I still think about my first wife all the time. Can you help me deal with her death so I can move on and live a better life? Still

Grieving Dear Still: There is no timetable for grief, but if you havent moved much beyond your initial stages of mourning after 10 years, its time to seek professional guidance. It is normal to think about your first wife on occasion, but it is not normal to obsess over her, cry daily, turn her closet into a shrine or constantly compare her to your current wife. If you are doing any of these things, please ask your doctor to refer you to a grief counselor. Dear Annie: The letter from Two Scared Parents motivated me to speak up. People dont seem to understand that alcoholism is an illness. I am an alcoholic with many years of sobriety. I attend AA meetings and have been to Al-Anon meetings. People whose loved ones have other serious diseases research to find out all they can about the disease. They are usually eager to learn in order to help. So why is it that when it comes to the deadly disease of alcoholism, the family complains, makes excuses and takes no action? They expect the sick person, the one who cannot think clearly due to alcohol in the brain cells, to be logical. When I ask, Why dont you go to Al-Anon? they tell me its not their problem. I realize its hard to understand that it is a disease. Please, dear friends, go find out all you can about alcoholism. Take action to help yourself. Anonymous

AP Political Writer
TOPEKA (AP) Kansas legislators killed a proposal Monday that sought to undercut public support for adding fluoride to public water supplies. The House Health and Human Services Committee voted 10-2 to table a bill that would have required cities and other local governments to warn consumers if their water is fluoridated. The bill cant be considered again unless a majority of committee members want to debate it, which in essence kills the bill, said the committees chairman, Augusta Republican Rep. David Crum. The most vocal supporter has been Mark Gietzen, an anti-fluoride activist from Wichita, a city that

Pollick said

that while anti-fluoridation proposals have arisen in various places, Kansas appears to be the first requiring warning tied to childrens IQs. Opponents of fluoridation point to a 2012 Harvard University review of 27 studies, mostly from China, concluding that fluoride may adversely affect childrens intellectual development. But public health officials have noted that the studies generally dealt with fluoride levels in water far exceeding the amount in U.S. water supplies, and the deans of the Harvard medical and dental schools publicly expressed support for fluoridation last year. I just dont think the folks who oppose fluoridated water made the case, scientifically, Crum said.

I think all three schools are extremely good schools that can accommodate their needs, Superintendent Ronald Walker said. District officials have held meetings with staff and parents. Walker said some parents like the smallschool environment Custer Hill provides. He believes Jefferson or Morris Hill Elementary schools can provide the same atmosphere. Some parents said they also enjoyed the larger schools as well, he said. We think we can satisfy both groups with the space we have available on post.

course without making these modest adjustments now, the choices will only grow more difficult and painful down the road, he said. Although Congress has agreed on an overall number for the military budget in fiscal year 2015 just under $500 billion there are still major decisions to be made on how that money should be spent to best protect the nation. Another proposal likely to draw fire on Capitol Hill is Hagels call for a new round of domestic military base closings in 2017. In the years following the last round, in 2005, members of Congress fought to protect bases in their home districts and states, arguing the process does not yield as much savings as advertised. As part of his proposed changes, the active-duty Army would shrink from todays 522,000 soldiers to between 440,000 and 450,000 the smallest number since 1940 when the nation was gearing up to enter World War II. The Army currently is scheduled to be reduced to 490,000. The Armys post-World War II low was 480,000 in 2001, according to figures provided by the service. In 1940 the Army had just 267,000 active-duty members, but that number surged to 1.46 million the following year as America prepared for war in Europe and the Pacific. The effects on Fort Riley and the surrounding area are not yet known. Kansas Governors Military Council Executive Director John Armbrust said Monday for the proposed reduction, officials would have to conduct a programmatic environmental assessment, which he said would be similar to listening sessions conducted in conjunction with Army 2020 last year. Were just going to have to go through the process-

When the Junction City boys basketball team (5-13, 3-8) and Topeka West (6-11, 5-6) meet tonight in the Shenk Gym, it will be a battle of contrasting styles. The Blue Jays pride themselves on digging in on defense and making opponents fight tooth-and-nail for every inch. The Chargers enter the game trying to run past their opponents. We want to be a little more deliberate, make this a half court game and they want to run around, Junction City coach Pat Battle said. They want to get up a lot of shots. They want the score to be in the 60s and 70s, we want it Ethan Padway The Daily Union in the 40s and 50s.

with us being more patient on the offensive end. While the Blue Jays want to move the ball around the offensive zone when looking for the right shot, Battle made it clear his offense is not built around wasting time. Were not coming out and trying to delay, he said. We have to possess the basketball. Time of possession matters. We have to be more patient with our shots. What got us into trouble at Topeka High is we took too many shots too early. Junction Citys path through the season has been anything but smooth. The team has dealt with the triumph of a last-second win, overcoming an extended losing streak and seen multiple heart-wrenching losses.

NORMAN, Okla. With six days to prepare for a team that has struggled all season on the road, Oklahoma turned Saturdays home game against Kansas State into a confidence booster heading into the final four games of the Big 12 season. Buddy Hield scored 18 points and Isaiah Cousins added 17 to help Oklahoma beat Kansas State 86-73 and begin to clear up the Big 12 standings with four games remaining in league play. I was really, really happy for our guys. I thought they opened the game sharp on both ends of the floor and attacked offensively, Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger said. The runaway win helped break a three-way tie for third with Oklahoma, Kansas State and Iowa State all entering the day with 8-5 league marks. Iowa States 71-60 Saturday win over TCU kept the Cyclones knotted with the Sooners. Second-year Wildcats coach Bruce Weber saw his freshman class combine to score a seasonhigh 43 points but there were few Wildcat positives in this one. We just kind of let them do what they wanted and they got going and we spotted them too many points to ever make it a game, Weber said. Oklahoma (20-7, 9-5) dominated in nearly every category, leading by as many as 27 points in the second half. The Sooners took their first lead 3 minutes in when Hield drained a 3-pointer following a Kansas State turnover. From there, Oklahoma outscored the Wildcats 34-17 to lead 41-22 at Please see K-State, 3B

American forward Alex Morgan will miss the Algarve Cup next month because of an ankle injury that has sidelined her since the start of the year. Midfielder Tobin Heath, who hasnt appeared for the national team in about eight months, was among 24 players selected Monday by coach Tom Sermanni. The Americans open the tournament in Portugal against Japan on March 5 in Parchal, face Sweden and former U.S. coach Pia Sundhage two days later in Albufeira and end the first round against Denmark on March 10, also in Albufeira. Sermanni will cut one player from the roster before the tournament. The U.S. has won the tournament in nine of 18 previous trips. The roster: Goalkeepers: Jill Loyden (Sky Blue), Alyssa Naeher (Boston), Hope Solo (Seattle) Defenders: Stephanie Cox (Seattle), Whitney Engen (Tyreso, Sweden), Meghan Klingenberg (Tyreso, Sweden), Ali Krieger (Washington), Kristie Mewis (Boston), Kelley OHara (Sky Blue), Christie Rampone (Sky Blue), Becky Sauerbrunn (Kansas City), Rachel Van Hollebeke (Portland) Midfielders: Morgan Brian (Virginia), Tobin Heath (Paris Saint-Germain, France), Sarah Killion (UCLA), Carli Lloyd (Western New York), Samantha Mewis (UCLA), Heather OReilly (Boston), Megan Rapinoe (Seattle) Forward: Sarah Hagen (Bayern Munich, Germany), Sydney Leroux (Seattle), Christen Press (Tyreso, Sweden), Amy Rodriguez (Kansas City), Abby Wambach (Western New York)

TOPEKA The Junction City wrestling team entered 11 wrestlers into the regional wrestling tournament Saturday at Washburn Rural. And every one of those wrestlers punched a ticket to the state tournament this weekend by finishing fourth or better, including four wrestlers who won their division.

It does show strength with four guys out of 14 taking first, Junction City coach Bob Laster said. And then, the way state works, that should help us out a lot because the regional champion should wrestle a fourth place guy from another regional. And usually a regional champion should beat a fourth place person. That should help us get some points at state. Freshman Gary Joint (106 pounds) and seniors Andrew Millsap (152 pounds), Micah Felton

(170 pounds) and Devonte Wilson (182 pounds) each won their division. Joint is a master on his feet, Laster said. I really like the way Gary is always on the move, in constant motion. He wrestled well enough to win it all. In fact, in the finals, he tech-falled the guy whos supposed to be No. 3 in his weight class.

KU
won more consecutive conference titles than Kansas: UCLA captured 13 straight from 1967-79 in the Pac10, and Gonzaga won 11 straight in the West Coast Conference from 2001-11. Its something you know, Selden said. When you come in here, thats the standard. Cameron Clark had 18 points and Buddy Hield finished with 16 for the Sooners (20-8, 9-6), who have lost 12 of their last 13 games against the Jayhawks, including both this season. Oklahoma still has not won in the Phog since 1993, when Billy Tubbs was on its sideline. Its so tough here for a lot of reasons, current Sooners coach Lon Kruger said. Bill does a great job, theyre very talented, the atmosphere is great, the difference really is in the runs they make, and thats what you have to avoid. Easier said than done. The first half Monday night boiled down to an old-fashioned Big Eight tussle. The Jayhawks threw the first

body punch, picking up right where they left off in a rout of Texas by taking a 15-4 lead. Oklahoma answered with a few haymakers of its own, going on a 13-2 charge and eventually pulling ahead 27-25 with 5:26 left in the half. Selden took over down the stretch, though, scoring seven straight points to give Kansas the lead back. Frank Masons 3-pointer capped a 10-0 surge and made it 42-33 at halftime. We handled the ball well, made tough plays, but two or three stretches is why Kansas is so tough, Kruger said. We gave them moments of run that you have to try to avoid. The Jayhawks, arguably the deepest team in the Big 12, forged their lead despite playing without a handful of players due to foul trouble. Wiggins, Tharpe, Perry Ellis, who finished with 11 points, and Jamari Traylor all had two fouls, and Connor Frankamp was on the bench with three. Wiggins picked up his third on the first play of the second half, when Ryan Spangler drove to the basket for an and-one. It was the start of a 10-2 run that got the Sooners back in the game. They made a

couple shots, we made a couple shots, Clark said, but the main thing is we didnt take care of the ball at critical times. Clarks hot shooting and a couple of timely 3-pointers by Hield gave Oklahoma the lead, only for Kansas to come back once more. Wiggins scored on a putback of his own miss with 8:01 left to give the Jayhawks a 60-59 lead, and their advantage grew to 69-63 a few minutes later. The Sooners kept finding answers. When Wiggins hit a 3-pointer to make it 74-66, Isaiah Cousins promptly scored in the paint. When Tharpe got a home-rim bounce on a pull-up jumper, Hield was there to hit a fall-away 3-pointer to close within 76-71 with 1:30 left. Oklahoma simply ran out of time, and as the final seconds ticked off the clock, another sellout crowd at the Phog began to chant, Ten straight! Ten straight! In a league this competitive, thought by many to be the toughest league in the country, to have a three-game lead with three to play is pretty special, Kansas coach Bill Self said.

WRESTLING
Continued from Page 1B
shown all season. Laster said the key to their success has been consistency. Gabe Padilla (120 pounds), Gavin Kroeger (132 pounds), Jake Bazan (138 pounds), Aryus Jones (145 pounds) and Kayne Hutchinson (220 pounds) all finished in second place. Laster believes those wrestlers can each make a jump this weekend. Most of those guys are young, so whatever they do at state, it will be a building block or stepping stone for them, he said. They just have to work on the confidence and try to get themselves more focused than they were at regionals and then I could see some changes that are happening for those guys. The key is being consistent and eliminating the mistakes and if we can do that, I think well wrestle very well at state. Lake Deam (113 pounds) and Kamari Smith (160 pounds) qualified for state by placing fourth.

Junction City spent most of the day in the lead. But despite having nine wrestlers the championship matches, the team came up 10.5 points short of Derby, who won the meet with 195.0 points. Laster said the final round seemed like a dual meet between Junction City, Derby and Manhattan, who leapfrogged the Blue Jays to finish in second. Both Manhattan and Derby scored valuable points in the consolation finals. I thought we wrestled well enough to win the tournament, he said. Any time you get nine guys into the finals, you usually win tournaments. But as Ive said before, the real points for winning tournaments come through the back door and we didnt have enough wrestlers to make a difference in the backside, the consolation. The Blue Jays wrestled with a slight disadvantage, choosing quality over quantity by only entering participants in 11 of a possible 14 weight classes. But Laster believes the strength of his 11 wrestlers should benefit the

team when the divisions become stronger at state. I think there will be more parity at state than there was at regionals, he said. Not to take anything away from Derbys regional title, but I feel like some of their guys got some points that normally they wouldnt have gotten at the state meet. At regionals, I didnt think we had as much depth as were going to have at state, so I think thats where we could make up the difference. With 11 members traveling to Wichita this weekend, the Blue Jays believe in their chances. Laster said his team knows it will have to take down the big guns to improve on last years second-place finish. They just need to do what theyve been doing all year long, wrestling tough and consistently and to take this tournament like any other tournament, he said. And then as always, our goal is to be 1-0. And then after 1-0, we set another goal to be 1-0. Pretty much, thats the approach that were going to take.

Crawford leads Clippers past Pelicans

Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS Between Jamal Crawfords long-range shooting, Chris Pauls timely playmaking and Blake Griffins presence in the paint, the Los Angeles Clippers have been too much for most teams to handle the past couple days. The struggling New Orleans Pelicans were simply overmatched. Crawford hit seven 3s on his way to 24 points, and the Clippers beat the Pelicans 123-110 on Monday night. We understand what we do well. If we all do

what we do well, well make our team stronger, Crawford said. My teammates did a good job finding me, Coach was drawing up great plays and I got the easy part, just knocking down the shots. Crawford picked up where he left off in Oklahoma City a day earlier, when he hit five 3-pointers and scored 36 points in the Clippers victory over the Thunder. He even converted a four-point play when he hit a 3 while being fouled by Eric Gordon. Paul, who had 19 points and 13 assists in his latest return to New Orleans, raved about the Clippers

recent success shooting from outside. Its been great and its just our ball movement, Paul said. Were getting great looks and at times where playing at the right tempo, but we got to figure out how to keep putting it together. Anthony Davis had 26 points and 11 rebounds for New Orleans. Alexis Ajinca set career highs with 19 points and 12 rebounds. We played hard, but we just got to do a better job on defense, Davis said. Griffin added 22 points, while DeAndre Jordan had 14 points to go along with 16 rebounds. Paul cited the play of Griffin

and Jordan as the reason why we get those open 3s. All five Clippers starters and two reserves scored in double figures. Matt Barnes, Darren Collison and Hedo Turkoglu each scored 12. The ball movement on our team is terrific, Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. When you play that unselfish with that many good players, a lot of good things are going to happen. Los Angeles hit 16 3s on 28 attempts (57.1 percent). New Orleans made only 7 of 18 (38.9 percent) from long range.

the half. Hield has now paced the Sooners in scoring in six of the last 10 games Cameron Clark scored 11 and Jordan Woodard added 10 for the Sooners, who have won three of their last four games going into Monday night at Kansas. Marcus Foster led Kansas State with 21 points. Nigel Johnson scored 11 and Thomas Gipson added 10. The Wildcats (18-9, 8-6) lost their sixth consecutive road game and are 1-6 in away league games. Kansas State dug a hole early it couldnt climb out of, committing 10 first-half turnovers and shooting 39 percent with no starter scoring more than five points. Oklahoma turned those turnovers into 17 points and controlled the tempo, outrebounding Kansas State 21-15 in the half and 32-28 for the game. The Wildcats outscored Oklahoma 51-45 in the second half but it wasnt enough in what has been a difficult season away from home. Theyre disappointed, Weber said. They got their butts kicked today. This league is tough. Its hard to win at home. Its hard to win on the road. Foster tried to get the Wildcats some momentum by launching a 3-pointer in front of Kansas States bench to open the second half. That shot rimmed off and the Wildcats would fail to score on four of their first five possessions. The Wildcats have done some of their best work this season at home inside Bramlage Coliseum - winning their last 14 games, including beating No. 15 Texas and No. 7 Kansas. Saturdays game was a much different story than when the two teams met in Manhattan, Kan., on Jan. 14. Kansas

Royals playoff hopes hinging heavily on defense

Kansas States Will Spradling and Oklahomas Ryan Spangler fight for a loose ball Saturday, in Norman, Okla.
State led 39-38 after the first half and came from behind in the final 5 minutes to win 72-66 with five different players scoring in double figures. Saturday, the Wildcats didnt have a player reach double-figure scoring until 7:51 remaining when Foster hit his second 3-pointer of the afternoon. Both Oklahoma and Kansas State play two of their final three games at home. Tensions rose late after Gipson was fouled during a made layup attempt. Oklahomas Woodard and Kansas States Nino Williams each were assesed technical fouls following the play for something each said. It happened again with 2:01 remaining with Oklahomas Ryan Spangler and Gipson picking up technicals while the two teams huddled next to each other on Oklahomas end of the floor. This group all year long has really understood we have to keep getting better and weve consistently done that, Kruger said. Oklahoma will close the season at home against Texas and West Virginia and then travel to TCU. Steve Sisney The Oklahoman/Associated Press B Y A LaN E SKeW

SURPRISE, Ariz. If defense wins championships, the Kansas City Royals could end their 29-year playoff drought. In 2013, the Royals had three Gold Glove winners first baseman Eric Hosmer, catcher Salvador Perez and left fielder Alex Gordon for the first time in their history. From 1990-2010, the Royals had only two Gold Glove winners, outfielder Jermaine Dye (2000) and second baseman Mark Grudzielanek (2006). Gordon, who came up as a third baseman and did not shift to the outfield until 2010, has won three straight Gold Gloves in left. The last Royal to win three or more consecutive Gold Gloves was second baseman Frank White, who won six in a row from 1977-82. I just truly believe one year were going to have four and five Gold Glove winners, Royals manager Ned Yost said. When you get three on one team, thats phenomenal. When I sit back and say five, am I crazy? No, I dont think so. I just really think weve got the capability of doing it. He mentioned center fielder Lorenzo Cain, who finished second in the balloting last year, shortstop Alcides Escobar and third baseman Mike Moustakas as potential Gold Glove winners. The Royals had an AL best 3.45 ERA in 2013, which Yost said goes hand-in-hand with the tough defense. Jeremy Guthrie, who won a career high 15 games last season, opted to return to the Royals after declaring for free agency after 2012. I love the defense, Guthrie said. Its a huge reason I wanted to come back. Its a huge reason Ive had the success pitching here. Its never anything you can discount much. The defense helps the pitching staff. Hosmer became the first first baseman in franchise history to earn a Gold

Glove. He saves his other infielders errors, a tall 6-foot-4 athletic target that not only can leap to catch high tosses but also digs out throws in the dirt. Thats a big part, Hosmer said. I want to make the other infielders feel as comfortable as possible because in this game a play can be decided in less than a second. That can be the difference in them thinking about throwing it and rather than just turning and throwing it. With a runner on third base, the pitchers are not concerned about throwing a pitch in the dirt rolling to the backstop with Perez behind the plate, knowing he will block it. Opponents are less apt to steal on Perez, who has been clocked at 1.83 seconds, which is .17 seconds faster than the big league average, on throws to second base. I would say what Salvy does in terms of holding runners, blocking balls and making plays at the plate, theres probably nobody better than him at doing those things, Guthrie said. They may not be highlight web gems, but Yost realizes how important they are. Those are all little things that no one really thinks about that helps us be better because our pitchers know they can bury a pitch in a crucial situation and its going to be blocked, Yost said. They know if they give Salvy an opportunity behind the plate, a runner tries to steal hes going to be out. They know if they make their pitch, the fielder is going to catch it, Youst added. Its all a big part of it. With the offseason additions of right fielder Norichika Aoki, who won six Golden Gloves in Japan, and second baseman Omar Infante, the Royals could be even better defensively this season. There is not a defensive weak link. Everybodys average to above average, Yost said. NOTES : OFs Carlos Peguero and Paulo Orlando homered in the first intrasquad game. Peguero, who was obtained last month from the Mariners, hit an opposite-field shot off RHP Wade Davis. .RHP Yordano Ventura, who is competing for the final rotation slot, retired only one of the four batters he faced before reaching his pitch limit of 24. . OF Justin Maxwell tripled and scored on a sacrifice fly.

team to adjust to different looks. Earlier in the season, I felt our shifts were just too long and we needed to shorten up our shifts so that we can be more effective, Battle said. Some nights it works, some nights it hasnt. Thats just the way it goes. Battle credited his bench with helping flip the tide of his teams game against Washburn Rural, which turned into one of Junction Citys most dominating wins of the season. He hopes his team can set a tone for substate with its play in this final week. I think weve got an opportunity to win (today) and I think weve got an opportunity to play some great basketball this last week, Battle said. This is when you want to play your best basketball, so were hoping that we do that.

Lady Jays face hectic final week of the regular season

The final week of the regular season will be a busy one for the Junction City girls basketball team (3-15, 1-10). The Blue Jays finish with three games in four days before moving into the postseason. But the team is not viewing the task with any trepidation. I think the kids are excited for it, Junction City coach Nate Parks said after practice Monday. Im definitely excited for it too. We dont play basketball to practice, we play it to play. So I think its going to be exciting and Im happy we get three games. Junction City kicks off the final stretch today at Topeka West (1-17, 0-11). Theyre going to be one thats looking for a win, Parks said. Were going to have to come out confident, weve got to try to put them away early. Were

going to play zone for the most part and were going to try to pressure them, get turnovers and score as much as we can. Parks believes his team has the upper hand if it plays with the energy he knows it is capable of. He hopes his team can then pick up some momentum heading into the postseason. Junction City then hosts Olathe North in a game scheduled late in the season to make up for the loss of the cancelation of the Blue Jays final midseason tournament game. Then, the Blue Jays conclude the season at the Shenk gym against Shawnee Heights. Were trying to turn the program around to make it where were defending the home court and make it as exciting as we can so we get as many fans as possible, Parks said.
