Happy
I am thankful for the many organizations and individuals who work to make our town a better place to live. Living in a Conservative area of Kansas, I am always amazed at the kindness and generosity of those who care about the less fortunate. In every publication of the Daily Union, you can read about the many projects promoted by people who want to bring happiness and encouragement to others. Barbara Hoyle Junction City

Christmas celebrations in Junction City officially dont start until Santa Claus says so. At 5:30 p.m. Friday, jolly old Saint Nicholas will highlight the 18th annual Christmas Parade along Sixth Street. When he reaches Heritage Park, thats when hell light a decorative display in the park to signal the Christmas seasons arrival. Many spectators are expected to line the streets to watch the holiday spectacle. This parade has always amazed me, said Mark Ediger of Eagle Communications, which again is presenting the parade. No. 1, how many entries we have and, No. 2, how many people show up. The Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce will co-host the events along with Eagle. On Monday, chamber activities director Nikki Davies said the parade has about 60 entries. Itll be a pretty good-sized parade, she said. We have a lot of folks who come out and look forward to this tradition. Ediger said this years float total likely will be the most in parade history. The thing that amazes me is the amount of work people go through to put floats together for this parade, he said. This is a busy time for people. Please see Parade, 9A

Talking growth
Local officials focus on economic possibilities in Junction City

Thanksgiving Deliverance

Local growth and economic development were heavy on the minds of local officials Monday night. The topics ranged from improvements on East Street, transportation and the establishment of a casino in Geary County. Junction City Vice Mayor Pat Landes said its important for legislators and officials to keep discussions ongoing about East Street and the casino. They need to be the ones making noise and
making this happen, Landes said about the casino. Another issue high on the radar regarded the housing market. To help alleviate the problem of vacant lots, City Commissioner Mick McCallister mentioned the idea of splitting the cost of vacant lots among the county, city, owner and developer. McCallister said it was one way to think outside the box. A lot of things will fall by the wayside if we dont keep poking the bear, McCallister said. If you keep poking the bear, itll come back and give you Please see Growth, 9A

The basement of the church was packed with people enjoying the festivities.

Bullies are common among youths in schools, playgrounds and neighborhoods. But the recent Miami
Dolphins scandal shows that it occurs in the professional workplace, too. During a weekly meeting, Geary County Commissioners and Lisa Eickholt, director of human resources, discussed the issue of bullying and county
employees who serve local residents. The topic was mentioned during talks about a conceal and carry law and weapons in the workplace. If it can happen in a professional football locker room, it can happen any-
where, Commission Chair Ben Bennett said referring to the ongoing harassment case between Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin. Eickholt said anti-bullying rules may be added to the regulations for county employees.
You would think that we would only have to worry about this in school, but we may have to. Eickholt said about the issue. Eickholt and commissioners have not heard anything about bullying among the employees. However,
the effort is to ensure there is no bullying situations in the county workplace. While speaking about the matter, Eickholt said shes a little hesitant because several actions could be considered bullying. A few Please see Bullying, 9A

FORT RILEY
Everyone pitch in
The Daily Union. Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2013
As a community service opportunity, 10 military youth, their parents, and Chaplin Breckenridge, Ft. Riley, raked leaves for four hours, in chilly weather on Saturday, Nov. 23 for two senior citizens in Junction City. The event was coordinated by I.C.A.R.E. and Chaplin Don Ericson, Director of Religious Education, Ft. Riley.
Submitted Photo
Jolly Old St. Nicholas will be available at the event, so children can have their photos taken before he gets too busy in his workshop. Santas visitors can download a free copy of their photos online after the event. Santa will be in the basement of Rileys Conference Center from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., but the jolly old fellow will have to take a break or two to keep his elves updated on all the wish lists. Also making a special appearance from the North Pole will be Santas reindeer, Prancer. Children can visit with the reindeer, and families also are encouraged to bring their cameras for photos, Kendrick added. He was here last year, and the line for Prancer went on and on, so we know that the Fort Riley families want to see Prancer, she said. The old-fashioned carousel, a huge hit in the past, according to Kendrick, also will return this year. New features at this years Christkindl are train rides for families and Outdoor Recreations Trees for Troops program, which will be offered in partnership with Christkindl for the first time this year. See
below for more information on Trees for Troops. Tickets are required to ride the carousel and train or to visit with Prancer. Tickets are $1. Adults accompanying children only need to purchase tickets for the children. Attendees also are encouraged to bring their shopping lists, Kendrick said. We do want people to bring their Christmas lists because the vendors will have a wide range of gifts that they can purchase, she said. About 70 vendors will have unique items for sale. Many vendors are military spouses with diverse talents, Kendrick said. Most of them are homemade and handmade crafters, so this is a fun event for them to get to come out and showcase what their skill is, she said. They can bring and show these crafts that they can make, which I think is kind of neat. From woodworking to crochet to jewelry, the market will have something for everyone, Kendrick added. The sounds of the season will ring in yuletide cheer, as three
choirs will perform at the event the Geary County Childrens Choir at 10:30 a.m., the Fort Riley Army Spouses Choir at noon and the Morris Hill Childrens Choir at 2 p.m. Theyre going to perform outside this year, trying to give it more of a traditional Christkindl, caroling-type market atmosphere, she said. Visitors can enjoy a taste of Germany with a themed-menu, including pork schnitzel, apple strudel, frikadelle and gluhwein, a hot German wine. These items and other fare will be available for purchase. Its a true market-type feel where you can come in and visit the crafters take something home thats one-of-a-kind, made by hand that you can give to someone knowing that its a truly special present, Kendrick said. At the same time, it has the festival feel where the kids can ride on the carousel, and you can have your gluhwein or hot chocolate and hang out as a family. Dress up in your Christmas outfits and come and get your picture taken with Santa Claus by a professional photographer. Its just a good family event for everyone.

Junction City police are investigating an apparent shooting that injured a man early Saturday morning at a Grant Avenue night club. Police first learned of the shooting after discovering the victim during a traffic stop in the 500 block of W. 11th St. at about 2:15 a.m. Saturday. An officer conducted the stop after observing the vehicle speeding with its flashers on, an incident report stated. During the stop, the officer found one of the vehicles occupants was suffering from two non-life threatening gunshot wounds one to his shoulder and one to his head. The victim later was identified as 23-yearold Kadarian Romez Jones of Junction City. Police discovered Jones had been shot by an unknown man shortly before the traffic stop after a disturbance at The Factory, an afterhours club located at 805 Grant Ave. Friends of Jones reportedly were taking him to Geary Community Hospital before the traffic stop. An ambulance was called to transport Jones to GCH. He later was treated and released. Police detectives and a K-9 unit were called to the scene of the incident and attempted to track a possible suspect. Evidence was collected, but no suspect was located. No arrests related to the investigation had been reported as of Monday afternoon. Police still are investigating the case. Anyone with information regarding the case is encouraged to call Crime Stoppers at (785) 762-TIPS (8477). This is the second time in as many months a shooting has been reported at The Factory. One victim was injured in an incident on Oct. 14.
Junction City Middle School was a popular place Saturday. The school held its Pancake Feed and Holiday Craft event.

NEWS TO KNOW
WASHINGTON The United States is spewing 50 percent more methane a potent heat-trapping gas than the federal government estimates, a new comprehensive scientific study says. Much of it is coming from just three states: Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. That means methane may be a bigger global warming issue than thought, scientists say. Methane is 21 times more potent at trapping heat than carbon dioxide, the most abundant global warming gas, although it doesnt stay in the air as long. Much of that extra methane, also called natural gas, seems to be coming from livestock, including manure, belches, and flatulence, as well as leaks from refining and drilling for oil and gas, the study says. It was published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. The study estimates that in 2008, the U.S. poured 49 million tons of methane into the air. That means U.S. methane emissions trapped about as much
big cow state. Cows seem to be spewing twice the methane that scientists previously thought, Michalak said. While burps and flatulence are part of the methane emission from cattle, University of California Santa Barbara professor Ira Leifer said a bigger factor is manure. If you shovel it into an artificial lagoon you are creating the perfect production for methane, but it cuts down on the smell and your neighbors complain less, he said.
was made reluctantly. But he noted that the cathedrals of Europe charge fees to help fund their upkeep. All we are charging for is tourism essentially, Hall said. Were not charging for the essential services of the cathedral. Some in the cathedrals congregation, though, have been vocal in opposing the move, Hall said. Nobody is excited, but most people understand it, he said. Still, the church needs to generate more revenue to avoid budget deficits and to be able to raise funds to complete repairs for $26 million in earthquake damage that dates back to 2011, he said. So far, the church has collected about $7 million. Since it reopened after the earthquake, the cathedral has been recommending a donation for tours, and it began charging fees for specialty tours focused on the buildings stained glass, gargoyles and other features. The plan to charge a fixed admission fee was first reported by The Washington Times. Since Hall arrived in 2012, the church has cut
$1.7 million from its budget, he said, through a hiring freeze, attrition, changes in vendors and a salary freeze for higher paid employees. No staff members were laid off, Hall said. The church ran a deficit in its most recent fiscal year, ending in June, but is projected to at least break even in 2014, Hall said. We need to grow in certain areas that we dont have the resources to do right now, Hall said. If we just keep cutting and cutting and cutting ... well just be kind of a shrinking institution. There are plans to reopen the Cathedral College, which has been closed to ministers since 2009 because of financial challenges, and the church needs to grow its education offerings and other programs, Hall said. Construction of the church began in 1907 and was funded by donations collected by Episcopalians across the country. There is no steady revenue from the government or the Episcopal Church to fund the cathedral.

ith Thanksgiving just two days away, it is a perfect time to celebrate all the good in our lives. There is so much to be thankful for. I must admit, during the last year, to becoming much more philosophical and thoughtful about myself, other people and why things are the way they are. Not sure if it was turning a certain age that I wont reveal here, or if it was moving here to Kansas and starting a new life. But its been a soulfinding experience that reminds me to be thankful and grateful every day. Keep your eyes open to your mercies. The man who forgets to be thankful has fallen asleep in life. Robert Louis Stevenson I believe many people are so busy and focused on what they have to do each day at work, at home with the kids, or dealing with their problems L ISA that they rarely think about what S EISER they are thankful and grateful for in their lives. Studies have shown that people are believed to be happier if they regularly think about and voice their appreciation for what they have in life. Of our many blessings, the greatest are the special people in our lives the people who make us laugh, uplift our spirits, are there for us and make us want to accomplish our goals and be better people along the way. Be thankful for what you have; youll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you dont have, you will never, ever have enough. Oprah Winfrey Other things to be thankful for and appreciate are our freedoms our ability to choose where we live, what we do every day, what we say and who we are. Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds. Theodore Roosevelt I am thankful for the big things being part of the Junction City community, having a challenging and fulfilling career with amazing co-workers, enjoying time with great friends, being in good health, able to help others and being happy. But I also am grateful for the simplest, too the shining sun, an afternoon on the golf course, clear blue skies, sunsets, sandy beaches, the singing birds and blooming flowers. I do not think of all the misery, but of the glory that remains. Go outside into the fields, nature and the sun, go out and seek happiness in yourself and in God. Think of the beauty that again and again discharges itself within and without you and be happy. Anne Frank I hope on Thanksgiving and during this holiday season we can all think about what we are grateful for. There are always going to be people in pain, whether that is emotional, physical or financial. But we must remember that all of us still have much to be thankful for. There are many ways to live life I choose the one that is grateful for what I have. I am thankful for all moments good and bad as there are reasons they are given. Life is a journey of discovery and being thankful and grateful are keys to finding a joyful existence. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
he image of Mom with her nose buried in the front page, Dad reading the sports page and the kids chuckling their way through the comics, harkens back to long ago days when news exposure in the home was a family affair. Sections of the daily paper were shared just like the space around the glow of the round radio dial and later the television set. Young Americans were huge consumers of news just a few decades ago. Millions of baby boomers consumed their news in mass quantities. During this time period, two out of three young adults watched the nightly news on CBS, NBC or ABC. These three media giants ruled the airwaves pitching cars, cigarettes, soft drinks and other consumer goods between news segments. Today cable and satellite television news commercials still pander to the same boomers only now theyre marketing prescription drugs. Older Americans continue to schedule their late afternoons around a daily appointment with television news. Fewer and fewer young people behave that way and most dont set aside a specific time of the day to get their news. About one in six young adults and a like proportion of teens watch the news nightly. By contrast, more than two of every five older adults watch the national news religiously and a slightly larger number follow local TV news. Some studies say todays young Americans are less interested in news
than their counterparts of a generation or two ago. Other contemporary analysis claims the digital revolution is bringing young people back to the news. One thing is for certain, the notion that young people do not care about the news is dead wrong. Whats happening is they rely on a different distribution system. Young people today are still interested in news. They want to keep abreast of the environment, health, food, nutrition, sports and many of the same issues that have always driven people to seek information. They still crave a daily diet of hate, death and war. However, theyd much rather read about it on their smart phone, iPad and computer anything but the daily newspaper. Media use today has become a solitary affair. Today, two out of three young adults largely ignore this wood-based relic. Two out of every five pay almost no attention to national and local television news as well. Im not making this up. These figures come from a recent study on press, politics and public policy from one of the most revered institutions of higher learning located on the East Coast. When it comes to newspapers today, only one in five older adults remains an avid newspaper reader. An avid reader is defined as one who reads every day and pays close attention to news stories while doing so. Only one in 12 young adults and a scant one in 20 teens rely on newspapers as a source of information in their daily lives. Age differences shrink for Internet-
based news, but do not disappear. Older adults are less likely than young adults and teens to access the Web; however, they make greater use of it as a news source. Still, none of these three age groups use Internet-based news heavily. About one in seven older adults, one in eight young adults and one in 12 teenagers are heavy users of the Internet for news. Few Americans believe they must be plugged into each and every news source. Most are comfortable with the medium of their own choice. Older adults choose whats comfortable to them while younger news gatherers like to explore the latest avenues and sources of technology. In 2013 younger Americans have opted for new ways of getting their news. They tap into entertainment programs, comedy, new media, acquaintances or an irregular mix of traditional media. It is simply not true that the Internet and social media are responsible for the decline in news interests among young Americans. Many factors have contributed including a weakening of the home as a place where news habits are acquired.

he first Thanksgiving was surrounded by lifes hardships. The early settlers were bombarded with extreme weather, hunger, sickness and death. Those who had survived believed the best they could do was to stop and give thanks. Too many throughout America are looking past Thanksgiving. Either we dont want to think about it or we are looking to black Friday, Christmas or just trying to get through the year. The aggravations of the world often drive us to feeling beaten down and we become bitter and resentful instead of thankful. When we live with gratitude our lives are more peaceful. Gratitude is a great stress reliever because we are looking to God and thanking Him. A
thankful life is a healthy life emotionally and physically. In Gratitude we focus on the positive instead of the negative. We focus on the giver of life and not everything that is wrong with life. How well we know that life is filled with suffering. Tornadoes destroyed towns throughout the Midwest last week. Thousands of people were devastated. One evening news sound bite was a woman in tears saying that she and her husband lost everything but they clung to each other because they still had each other. In the middle of losing everything they were grateful for each other. The Philippines were almost wiped off the map because of the most horrific typhoon ever recorded. Those people are suffering. We dont want pain and suffering. Yet, its almost impossible to live very long without experiencing both. A man
in the Bible by the name of Job lost everything. He lost his children, his entire wealth and his health. Job suffered and lost everything. His wife told him to curse God and die. Job looked to his creator in spite of circumstances. He never lost his sense of gratitude toward God even in the blackest hours of his life. He said, Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him, Job 13:15. In his last years of life Job ended up with more than ever before. Gratitude was the beginning step to a new life for Job. You may not feel life is going your way. Stop and give thanks. Giving thanks is often the first step to better days.

weeks on Sunday when he completed the Gobbler Grind marathon in Overland Park . Hes raised almost $30,000 for the Sunflower House in Shawnee and the Surviving Spouse and Family Endowment Fund, also known as SAFE. Sunflower House is a child abuse prevention center, and SAFE raises money to support families of police officers, firefighters and paramedics who die on duty. The Kansas City Star reports Schluben initially promised to run a marathon each weekend, but he did more than one a few weekends, so even though he has done 52, he plans to do five more this year.
homes or business property. County officials want to keep the fee, The Wichita Eagle reported, and estimated that counties across the state would lose about $47 million a year in revenue if the fee goes away and isnt replaced. The Kansas Bankers Association also says the registration fee is actually a tax because nearly all the amount charged goes to the countys general fund and doesnt reflect the cost of recording the document. Counties say increasing property taxes to make up for lost revenue would be a bigger burden on homeowners and businesses than the fee.
Johnson County Commission Chairman Ed Eilert noted that the mortgage fee only is paid when a new mortgage is created. So by eliminating the mortgage registration fee on that kind of activity, youre passing the responsibility for that revenue on to people who dont have a mortgage, or who have already paid a mortgage registration fee, so theyre paying twice, he said. I mean, its a fairness thing. The Kansas mortgage registration fee is 26 cents on every $100 borrowed. Of that, 25 cents goes to the county and a penny goes to the Heritage Trust Fund, which provides matching
funds to preserve historic buildings. Doug Wareham, vice president for government relations with the Kansas Bankers Association, said basing the fee on the amount of money borrowed in the mortgage doesnt make sense because it costs the county the same to process a $500,000 mortgage as it does a $100,000 mortgage. He said the registration fee discriminates against the middle class and in favor of the wealthy. Were bringing this forth because our banks are tired of our customers (borrowers) being saddled with this tax while cash buyers are not being saddled with any tax, he said.

Ben Kitchens, chair of the Economic Development Commission (EDC), chimed in on the topic as well. Its a hard proposition to make it fair for everybody, Kitchens said. To that person that bought a house with $20,000 specials, theyre still going to be expected to pay. You automatically give someone an advantage in the market, once they go sell a house if they are only paying $7,000 specials. In addition, Kitchens said the demand for homes also is an issue. We dont have the growth and we need to create some jobs, Kitchens said. Whether that be the casino or good old fashioned foot to the pavement recruiting industries and small businesses. I dont think were doing enough to that and Im a part of that group. office has not received any bullying complaints, but its something Eickholt would like to monitor. With any group of individuals that work for a long period of time, things are going to come
Kitchens said its OK to receive restaurants and places like CVS Pharmacy, but kitchens would like to see more industrial and skilled labor jobs. Thats the kind of jobs we need, so people can go to work, have discretionary income and buy a house, Kitchens said. Then well be in better shape than trying to fill vacant lots. During the meeting, local officials also received a presentation about the metropolitan traffic plan from Stephanie Watts, Transportation Planner, from Flint Hills Regional Council (FHRC). Flint Hills Regional Council Executive Director Bill Clark, who also attended the meeting, said the East Street project is an example of how the FHRC can work together on issues. up, Eickholt said.

Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose is out for the season. The team said Monday that Rose had successful surgery to repair a torn medial meniscus in his right knee. Rose was hurt Friday night at Portland. The 2011 NBA MVP missed all of last season after tearing a ligament in his left knee in Chicagos 2012 playoff opener against Philadelphia. He has played in just 50 NBA games 49 in the regular season and that lone playoff game since the Bulls run to the Eastern Conference finals during his MVP season.

Iowa State says it will use a $25 million donation to close the south end zone of Jack Trice Stadium and make it a true bowl. Athletic director Jamie Pollard says the gift from Reiman Publications founders Roy and Bobbi Reiman will also allow the school to create an inspiring campus entrance. The end zone set to be closed faces University Boulevard, the road many use to enter campus. It currently has a set of bleachers between a pair of grassy hills. Final plans for the project have yet to be developed. But Pollard says the school hopes to be completed by the start of the 2015 season. The project will go in front of the Iowa Board of Regents for approval in February.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico Kansas State arrived in San Juan for the Puerto Rico Tip-Off with lofty goals. The Wildcats didnt have a perfect week by any means, but for the most part coach Bruce Weber likes the team hes taking back home. Thomas Gipson had 18 points and 10 rebounds as Kansas State cruised to a 52-38 win over Long Beach State in the seventh-place game at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off on Sunday. Weber acknowledged that playing three games in four days wore on both teams and that the Wildcats probably benefited from playing Sunday against Long Beach State team that was more tired than them coming from the West Coast. Obviously we did a good job defensively, Weber said. Its one of those games...its about desire and excuses. We challenged our guys and made some progress. Overall I thought we were in a lot of right places and disrupted them. Marcus Foster added 10 points, his third double-figures performance of the tournament and fifth straight overall. For the game the 49ers were held to just 19 percent shooting from the field and 21 percent from beyond the arc. Long Beach State coach Dan Monson said he didnt think his team played particularly bad after playing well against VCU in the previous round. He said their inability to score put them in a hole that was unrecoverable, though. But as much as Long Beach State had its issues shooting, Kansas State didnt play error-free basketball either, committing 23 turnovers. I think young guys just have to understand when to go and when not to, Weber said. This next month we have (six) homes game and then Gonzaga and (Kansas on Jan. 11)...We gotta make some strides. He said having six freshmen on the roster, including Foster, will demand they learn lessons quickly. Part of it is young guys, part of it is figuring our roles, Weber said. I hope our young guys learn what its Please see Puerto

The Minnesota Vikings have released cornerback A.J. Jefferson after he was arrested and jailed on a domestic assault complaint. The move was made on Monday. According to Hennepin County records, the 25-year-old Jefferson was being held without bail. Formal charges were not expected on Monday. Jefferson played for the Vikings on Sunday in their tie game at Green Bay. He was acquired last season in a trade with Arizona. Jefferson became the second Vikings player arrested this month. Wide receiver Jerome Simpson was recently charged with driving while impaired but has kept his spot on the team.
Instead, visiting Oklahoma (9-2, 6-2) stole the show with back-to-back fourth quarter touchdowns to quell any hope for a K-State comeback in a 41-31 defeat. Its frustrating but its down to us doing our thing, making the stops, junior linebacker Jonathan Truman said after the game. It comes down to us and we just have to do it and were going to improve on it. With Kansas State trailing
27-24 in the fourth quarter, the Wildcat offense found itself backed up against the goal line. Kansas State quarterback Jake Waters found no running room on first down. He then threw incompletions to receivers Tyler Lockett and Tramaine Thompson on consecutive downs, as the Wildcats couldnt get any breathing room for senior punter Mark Krause.

AMES, Iowa The Kansas football players were giddy a week ago after breaking a 27-game Big 12 losing streak. Ending their long losing streak on the road will have to wait another year. Kansas stumbled through a miserable offensive performance and lost to Iowa State 34-0 on a frigid Saturday night, the Jayhawks 24th straight loss in an opponents stadium. After rolling up 376 yards in their streak-busting victory over West Virginia, Kansas (3-8, 1-7) managed only 279 against Iowa State, which is last in C HARLI the conference in defense. W EIS We just couldnt finish, Kansas offensive lineman Gavin Howard said. We were moving the ball well, but once we seemed to cross like the 50 or the 40 on the other side, we seemed to stall every time. That is something that we have struggled with all season, but especially tonight. Freshman Grant Rohach passed for a season-best 300 yards and two touchdowns to lead Iowa State to its first Big 12 victory this season. James White and Shontrelle Johnson each ran for a touchdown and Cole Netten kicked two field goals for the Cyclones (2-9, 1-7), who broke a seven-game losing streak at Please see KU, 8B
Browns quarterback Jason Campbell is following the NFLs protocol on head injuries and will likely miss this weeks game against Jacksonville. Campbell sustained a concussion in Sundays loss against Pittsburgh when he was slammed in the head by blitzing Steelers cornerback William Gay on a sack in the third quarter. Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said Campbell was at the Browns training facility on Monday before being sent home. Chudzinski said Campbell has not yet been ruled out against the Jaguars, but indicated Brandon Weeden will probably start again for the Browns (4-7). Weeden, who began the season as Clevelands starter, replaced Campbell and was booed by Cleveland fans as he came on the field. Chudzinski believes Weeden still has confidence and his teammates backing despite his shaky status. Chudzinski also said theres a good chance the Browns will sign another quarterback this week.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. The Kansas City Chiefs offense finally proved it could win a game. Their defense finally let them down. After driving for a go-ahead touchdown in the waning minutes against San Diego on Sunday, Alex Smith the rest of the offense could only watch as Philip Rivers answered with a 26-yard pass to Seyi Ajirotutu with 24 seconds left that gave the Chargers a dramatic 41-38 victory. It was the most points the Chiefs had scored this season. Also the most theyd allowed. I mean, yeah, when we scored, we put the pressure back

on them, said Smith, who threw for 292 yards and three touchdowns. Theyd been good on offense all day, and Philip was playing good, so yeah, there was a chance. But we knew wed put the pressure back on them. Rivers was unflappable, though, against a Chiefs defense missing top pass rushers Tamba Hali and Justin Houston. He took advantage of time in the pocket to shred the Kansas City secondary, and then hit the most unlikely of his wide receivers with the pass that decided the game. It was a great throw, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. Its a game of inches and we were off by an inch on coverage. We had a man over top and a man underneath and they put it right on
the spot. The touchdown, and the eighth lead change, deflated a raucous Arrowhead Stadium. Smith had calmly guided Kansas City (9-2) downfield just moments earlier, completing five of six passes on the drive. His throw into tight coverage to Dwayne Bowe with 1:22 left gave the Chiefs a 38-34 lead, and put the game in the hands of a defense that had been among the NFLs best. Just not on this day. And not against this quarterback. Rivers wound up throwing for 392 yards and three touchdowns for San Diego (5-6), which ended a three-game losing streak.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. The San Diego Chargers were staring down their fourth straight loss when Philip Rivers stepped under center, peered across the line at the Kansas City defense and called for the snap. Less than a minute later, the entire narrative had flipped. Rivers had deftly guided San Diego downfield against the previous impenetrable Chiefs, and his 26-yard touchdown pass to Seyi Ajirotutu with 24 seconds remaining on Sunday not only gave his team a dramatic 41-38 victory but also kept the Chargers season alive. Its one of those youll never forget, thats for sure, Rivers said. Its kind of what our seasons been about. Can you drive and score at the end in 2 minutes? It was the second straight loss for the Chiefs (9-2), and a deflating one at that. They had just taken the lead with 1:22 remaining when Alex Smith hit Dwayne Bowe in tight coverage. It was the seventh lead change in a game that would feature one more. I mean, youd like to take positives away from games, but right now, it wasnt enough, said Smith, who had 292 yards and three TDs of his own. We didnt do enough to come out on top. Not only that but the Chiefs also lost top pass rushers Tamba Hali and Justin Houston to injuries. Hali has a sprained right ankle and Houston a sprained left elbow, and both are due for MRI exams Monday. Their status for next weeks game against Denver is in question. Its big, Chiefs safety Kendrick Lewis said. Those guys have done so much for our defense this
whole season. Well see how that works out. Hopefully those guys arent too bad. It was a thrilling victory by the Chargers that buoyed their hopes and a damaging defeat for the Chiefs that could have long-range repercussions. Those are the two biggest takeaways from their thrilling game on Sunday. Here are five more: CHARGERS GROUNDED: The Chargers aired it out in part because running back Ryan Mathews left with a hamstring injury. Chargers coach Mike McCoy did not disclose the severity of the injury, but it appears that he could be out for a while. Danny Woodhead filled in admirably, and McCoy called him the definition of a football player. Just shows up every day, does his job, doesnt ask too many questions. He just knows what to do. CHARLES ON THE RUN: Jamaal Charles ran for 115 yards and two touchdowns for the Chiefs, but his true value wasnt just in his stats. He also forced San Diego to load up the box, and that created chances downfield. Donnie Avery had four catches for 91 yards and Bowe had five grabs for 51 yards. We got some things moving, Smith said. We just didnt do it enough. AJIRO-WHO? Ajirotutu figured he had run about six routes all game before he hauled in the winning touchdown pass. He suspected it was coming his way, too. Philip said, Fly on the boundary, so I knew thats a little code word that he usually says that the balls coming to you, Ajirotutu said. It was just his third catch of the season, and his first TD since 2010. SACK STRUGGLES: The Chiefs were on pace to set all kinds of sack records early in the sea-
son, and now they cant seem to lay a hand on the quarterback. Safety Eric Berry had their only sack of Rivers on Sunday, just before his TD pass to Ajirotutu, and the loss of Hali and Houston only serves to compound the problem. Guys need to step up, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. ROOKIE WATCH: The Chargers Keenan Allen had nine catches for 124 yards, shredding the Kansas City secondary in the first half. It was the fourth 100-yard receiving game of the season for the thirdround pick. We get a lot of confidence from this, Allen said. Its one we needed.

go a little early and it was on me a little quicker when I got out of my break a little faster, Thompson said about the third down pass, which sailed through his hands. But what happened seconds later really made the drop stick with Thompson. Facing a stiff wind, Krauses punt lingered in the air, barely clearing the 30-yard line. Oklahomas Jalen Saunders rushed forward, barreling to get to the punt in space, then with the ball in his hands he cut right past the unsuspecting defenders down to the 3-yard line

before being knocked out of bounds. Oklahomas Brennan Clay scored on the next play, making it 34-24. Waters said he needed give Mark more room for a punt in that situation. I knew that they were bringing some pressure but I need to, I put it on myself to make those plays and get it out of there, he said about the previous drive. The very next drive, the Wildcats needed to strike
back and prevent a complete loss of momentum. After rolling into Oklahoma territory, in part because of a solid kick return by Lockett aided by a personal foul penalty, Kansas State was in prime position to restore Bill Snyder Family Stadium to its boisterous self. Waters tossed a pass toward junior receiver Curry Sexton along the sideline but Oklahomas Zack Sanchez jumped the route, picking the ball out of the air before Sexton could get a hand on it. Sanchez weaved his way through the Wildcats, who where hot on his tail in pursuit, for a 74-yard touchdown. We called a little five, six yard stop route and Curry got off clean, Waters said. And Im not going to say anything about the route but something happened and (Sanchez) made a good catch. For a while, it looked like
Lockett would steal the show from his senior teammates. The junior caught six passes for 206 yards in the first half, including three second quarter touchdowns of 48, 30 and 90 yards. He finished his day with a school record 278 receiving yards, breaking a record he set earlier in the season against Texas. Thompson called Lockett an awesome football player. Tyler made some good plays on his own, we had some good schemes that left him wide open, the little fade route for the touchdown, he said. But after that it was just Tyler making plays. Now the Wildcats turn their energy toward in-state rival Kansas. After the game, senior defensive lineman Ryan Mueller, whose father played for two years at Kansas, stood up and rallied the team. He was saying really the theme of what he said was to look forward now and focus on KU, Truman said. And we have a lot of time, we dont have school next week, so we have a lot of time to invest in this game next week and for us to get this done.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. A federal judge in Arkansas approved a settlement Monday that pays $84.9 million to 5,500 trucking companies who were cheated out of promised rebates by Pilot Flying J, the nations largest diesel retailer. The settlement doesnt put to rest a federal investigation in which seven company employees have already entered guilty pleas. Attorney Aubrey Harwell Jr. of Nashville said Jimmy Haslam, owner of the Cleveland Browns and CEO of the truck stop chain, had no knowledge that employees were cheating customers. The company is co-owned by Haslams brother, Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam, who has said he isnt involved with its operations.
U.S. District Judge James Moody said Monday that he was satisfied that the settlement was fair, reasonable and equitable. I dont have any reservation about giving final approval here, Moody said at the end of an hourlong hearing in Little Rock. Moody also approved another $14 million in fees that will go to the truckers lawyers. The settlement reimburses trucking firms for their losses, plus 6 percent interest, which is calculated from the time each rebate should have been paid. The cheating dates back to 2005. Lawyers on both sides stressed that no one among the 5,500 companies agreeing to the settlement filed an objection and that only about 1 percent of affected companies opted out of the agreement so they could file their own lawsuits.

Each year thousands of smokers kick the habit for 24 hours during the Great American Smokeout, annually, the third Thursday of November. The goal of the event is to promote encourage smoking cessation by helping smokers realize that if they can quit for one the and KDOT Public Transit Program day, they can quit permanently. Smoking is the No. 1 preventable cause of death in the United States. Within the first 24 hours without cigarettes, the body begins to heal itself, according to the American Cancer Society. Blood pressure drops to a normal level, the temperature of hands and feet increase, heart attack risk decreases, and the carbon monoxide level in the blood drops. Within three months, circulation and lung function improves up to 30 percent. However, even after youve given up nicotine, you may still have the urge to smoke. To maximize your chances of staying smoke-free for good, develop a threephase Commit to Quit plan and follow these tips, courtesy of the American Cancer Society (www.cancer.org). No two people are alike and so your smoking cessation program may need to be as unique as you are. When considering your options, think carefully about the way you use cigarettes how often to you light up, what triggers the urge etc. Dont keep your intention to quit a secret. Research shows that smokers are most successful in kicking the habit permanently when they have some means of support such as nicotine replacement therapy, counseling, guide books, and the encouragement of friends and family members. There are a host of nicotine replacement products available to help you quit, including skin patches like Nicotrol (www.nicotrol.com), NicoDerm CQ (www.nicodermcq.com), nicotine gums like Nicorette (www.nicorette.quit.com), and other therapies like 7-Day Smoke Away (www.smokeaway.org), prescription nicotine inhalers and smokeless cigarettes like E-Z Quit (www.ezquit.com). Contact your doctor before beginning any smoking cessation program. Keep smoking out of sight and out of mind by getting rid of cigarettes, lighters and ashtrays from your home, office and car. Dont forget to send your clothes to the dry cleaner for freshening. Ask friends and family not to smoke around you. Good luck!

Dear Annie: I am a boy in junior high school. I recently went to a social event for kids my age. While there, a girl spilled the beans that she has had a major crush on me for more than a year. We see each other often at school. I was shocked. She asked to hold my cellphone and then put her number into my contacts. Heres the problem. I dont like this girl at all, but Im getting tons of texts from her daily. No matter how hard I try to distance myself and let this one-sided relationship die, she keeps coming back. Annie, I have tried not responding, deleting her from my contacts, etc. I dont want to break her heart, because Im not that kind of guy. This is the first time anything like this has happened to me, and its starting to stress me out. Im having nightmares about her. All advice from my parents to shake her has failed. Can you help? Not a Heartbreaker Dear Not: Sometimes you cant avoid breaking a heart. Be kind, not cruel, and take solace in knowing you behaved like a gentleman. Tell this girl as kindly as possible that you arent interested in a romantic relationship. Say that youre sorry things didnt work out the way she wanted, but she must stop texting because it makes you feel that she is stalking you. You cannot control her response. She may cry, be angry or even continue to text. Do not respond. It will take a while before she gives up, so be sure not to give false encouragement by engaging her in conversation, even negatively. Be totally neutral and uninterested. And patient. Dear Annie: My uncle is a tax attorney. Recently, the whole family was together for lunch, and we happened to talk about my job as a special-ed teacher. I asked my uncle, If the boss declares bankruptcy, who gets paid first the employees, landlord or lender? Before my uncle could respond, my mother said, You dont ask lawyers for free legal advice. I replied that no one seems to mind asking me for expertise. My aunt insisted that it is different because my uncle is an attorney, and my mother agreed with her. I pointed out that my grandfather, an accountant, often gave free professional

advice. So, let me ask you, Annie. If my uncle were a chef, would it be wrong to ask how long spices keep their freshness? Or the best way to cook a steak? People ask me stuff all the time pertaining to how to handle kids. Why is it that lawyers are sacrosanct, but all other professionals are fair game? Not a Lawyer Dear Not: We dont believe this is true. We think in your household, your mother and aunt expect lawyers to hand you a bill for professional advice. (It may even have happened with your uncle, the tax attorney.) People ask lawyers, doctors, teachers, cooks and other professionals for free advice all the time. How they handle that is up to them. Most dont mind a quick, simple question, but more than that can be irritating, making the professional feel that you are taking advantage of them. Dear Annie: Lonely in My Heart was upset that she cannot search for her biological parents until she is 18. Please tell her that another option is to contact her legislators and discuss changing the law regarding the age at which she can get information. It is nice when youngsters learn the legislative process through writing and rallying for change. None of us is helpless. We all can work to change legislation. Indeed, one lonely person might enhance the lives of many lonely people. Fremont, Wis.

Youll appreciate the many variations. TAURUS (April 20 May 20). Success will depend on clear communication. Its better to ask questions than to make assumptions. If youre not clicking with someone, dont force it. Talk to more people until you find someone you do click with. GEMINI (May 21 June 21). You will combine your learned experience with dedicated research to create something new. Youll have to repeat this process several times before you get the desired result. With each iteration, youll be closer. CANCER (June 22 July 22). Take control of your social life. You dont need more friends; you need better relationships. Put your feelers out there. Where does the connection seem strongest? Instead of wider, you need to go deeper. LEO (July 23 Aug. 22). You see potential in others that may or may not be there, but theres no harm in believing the best. You have a nurturing spirit and want nothing more than for the people around you to thrive and grow to their capabilities. VIRGO (Aug. 23 Sept. 22). Its the perfect time to get nosy and figure out how others are running their lives. There are more and less appealing ways to go about things, but the proof of a strategy is always in the results.

Todays responsibility is best given to an even person who can be counted on to deliver steady results. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 Nov. 21). You want to give each person the deserved amount, but since thats a judgment call that is bound to make you unpopular, its better to allot each person the same amount, deserved or not.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 Jan. 19). The natural way of language is to develop. You get a thrill from hearing new words or the same words used differently. Thats why you enjoy talking to people who come from a different time and/or place. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 Feb. 18). Even if you dont believe in the rules or think they dont apply to you, youll follow them for the sake of playing along. Since there will be consequences for breaking the rules, its a wise choice for now. PISCES (Feb. 19 March 20). You wont think a lot about your own selfworth until something happens as a direct result of how youve valued yourself. Remember, its just an opinion, and you can always change it.

KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City overcame an early scare to finally get past its postseason nemesis. After being bounced from the Eastern Conference playoffs by Houston in each of the past two seasons, Sporting fell behind the Dynamo 1-0 in the third minute on Saturday night in the second leg of the Eastern Conference final. But with a first-half equalizer from C.J. Sapong and Dom Dwyers game-winner in the 63rd minute, Sporting advanced to its first MLS Cup Final since 2004 with a 2-1 victory. We didnt panic, Dwyer said. We kept on doing what we do, and we got the result we wanted. Were happy right now, but were very much focused on two weeks time. Were going to enjoy it, and its extra motivation to have MLS Cup at home. Kansas City will play host to either Portland or Real Salt Lake on Dec. 7. Sporting and the Dynamo played to a scoreless draw two weeks ago in the first leg of the conference final. Houston, the runner-up in 2011 and 2012, will miss the title game for the first time in three years. I think as far as this series, we deserved it, Sporting manager Peter Vermes said. We played smart and I think we showed real maturity. Three years ago I think we were very new to this when we played them in the same situation. We were very new, in everything. I even think our fans were new to it. There was a lot of apprehension that year, but I think this year was very different. I think the players understood the task at hand. Even though they scored early, we never panicked. Houston midfielder Brad Davis acknowledged being disappointed to not make it back to a third straight final, but said it was an accomplishment for the Dynamo to get as far as they did after finishing fourth in the East during the regular season. Its very difficult. Im unbelievably proud to be a part of this team, Davis said. I feel like people were counting us out a long time ago and we kept plugging away. Thats what this team does. The Dynamo scored on a goal from Oscar Boniek Garcia, whose shot deflected off center back Matt Besler after a pass from Davis. Sapong responded in the 14th minute, scoring from short range after Houston defender Bobby Boswell misplayed Graham Zusis through ball. Dwyers decisive goal came after a precise through ball from Benny Feilhaber, with Dwyer finishing low past Dynamo keeper Tally Hall. That was one of the classier goals youll see, Hall said. His cut and finish made for one of the better goals Ive seen this year.

about. The game was close early before Wildcats (3-3) pulled away in the second half as the 49ers shooting percentage fell below 15 percent. They went more than 20 minutes without a field goal, missing 28 consecutive shots at one point. Long Beach State (1-6) got no closer than 15 points in the second half. Mike Caffey led the 49ers with 13 points. It was Kansas States second win this season over Long Beach State. The Wildcats posted a 13-point win on Nov. 17. The 38 points is a seasonlow for the 49ers, which lost their sixth straight. Kansas State took a 25-13 lead in the opening 20 minutes. The Wildcats had a
10-2 advantage in the paint, with most coming from Gipson, who finished the half with 11 points. Long Beach State tied it at 10, but went cold from the field as K-State closed with a 15-3 spurt. The 13 points scored by the 49ers was a tournamentrecord low for a half. The 49ers struggled from all over, shooting just 12 percent (4 for 32) from the field and 16 percent (2 for 12) from the 3-point line. Despite their struggles at times this week, Weber said he doesnt think they are that far away from being able to compete in conference play. They gotta understand we gotta get better and its only going to come through practice and time in the gym, Weber said. Little things gotta be important.

home. Rohach, who had not thrown a touchdown pass in his five previous games, finished 15 of 20 with one interception and scoring throws of 58 yards to Aaron Wimberly and 15 yards to Quenton Bundrage. It was the coldest game in Jack Trice Stadium history 8 degrees at kickoff and 3 by the start of the second half and the field was frozen and slick. But it didnt bother the Cyclones, who amassed a season-high 502 yards and recorded their first shutout since beating Northern Iowa 27-0 on Sept. 25, 2010. I really didnt feel that the weather itself was a factor, Kansas coach Charlie Weis said. I thought the field was a factor, but both teams were playing on the same field. I thought, obviously, that Iowa State did a much better job of handling it. Kansas James Sims rushed for 114 yards in 21 carries to run his season total to 1,028 and become the first Jayhawk player with back-to-back 1,000yard seasons. passes of 18 yards to Justin Coleman and 42 yards to Bundrage before White burst up the middle on a 5-yard touchdown run to make it 27-0, a safe cushion on a night like this. Johnson added to it with a 23-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter. We came in expecting to win and it just didnt go our way, KU linebacker Jake Love said. We didnt play very well. Give them credit for coming in and executing. Iowa State, which has struggled to get its offense going early in games, struck on its second possession. Wimberly slipped behind the defense and no one was near him when he caught Rohachs pass and turned it into a 58-yard touchdown, the longest play of Rohachs young career. Netten added a 22-yard field goal to make it 10-0. Kansas had nothing to show for three drives into Iowa State territory in the opening half. ISUs Nigel Tribune stopped receiver Christian Matthews well short of a first down on fourth-and-4 at the Cyclone 26 on the Jayhawks first possession. Later, two nifty runs by Cozart got the Jayhawks to the ISU 13, where a horde of tacklers stuffed Sims for no gain on fourth-and-1. Late in the half, the Jayhawks reached the 37, only to be frustrated by a holding penalty and Jansen Watsons interception of Cozarts heave to the end zone. Kansas would ease a lot of the frustration from this loss if it could upset Kansas State in its season finale at home next Saturday. I am pretty excited actually to watch the film and see what went wrong and see what happened, Love said. Then get over it from there. Kansas State is always a game that we are looking forward to.

But freshman quarterback Montell Cozart was ineffective in his second start, completing just 4 of 12 passes for 20 yards and one interception. He was replaced in the third quarter by previous starter Jake Heaps. One thing we werent doing is we werent completing any passes, Weis said. Then, as you saw in the second half, it didnt make much of a difference because when Jake was putting it right on them, we probably dropped six passes. It was not a good performance. Iowa State led 10-0 at halftime and put the game away with 17 third-quarter points. Netten kicked a 21-yard field goal and Iowa State got the ball back at the Kansas 38 after a short punt. Six plays later, Rohach hit Bundrage on the right sideline and the sophomore wideout broke a tackle and fought his way into the end zone. After a Kansas three-andout, Rohach completed

gers running back Ryan Mathews, who left with a hamstring injury. Ladarius Green had a 60-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter, while Keenan Allen had nine catches for 124 yards against a porous Chiefs defensive backfield. Its one of those youll never forget, thats for sure, Rivers said. Its kind of what our seasons been about. Can you drive and score at the end in 2 minutes? San Diego finished with 491 yards of offense against a Chiefs defense that had allowed more than 17 points just once: last weeks 27-17 defeat in Denver. One of the big reasons for that was its inability to get pressure on Rivers after Hali and Houston left in the second quarter. Hali had a sprained right ankle and Houston a sprained left elbow, and both of them are due for MRI exams on Monday. Its tough, the way those guys dominate and get pressure, Chiefs cornerback Brandon Flowers said. But at the end of the day, us as a unit, weve got to get better. No excuses, man, no excuses. San Diego came out and played. They executed. They were moving the ball at will, it seemed like today. So weve got to go back to the drawing board and improve what we do. Especially with the return game against the Broncos
looming next week. While there will be plenty on the line in the AFC West, theres little chance it will be as entertaining as the back-and-forth nailbiter the Chiefs played on Sunday. San Diego pulled ahead 17-14 when a 54-yard pass to Eddie Royal set up a 1-yard TD run by Mathews, but the Chiefs took it back on Jamaal Charles second touchdown run. The Chargers answered with a TD run by Woodhead, only for Anthony Fasano to pull in a touchdown catch for Kansas City. Greens first career touchdown gave San Diego the lead back with 7:50 left, and while the Chiefs had one more answer left, so did the Chargers. Thats what the games all about, Chargers coach Mike McCoy said. When the games on the line, whos going to come up and make the big play? Whos going to make the big stop? Notes: The Chargers have won 10 of their past 12 against Kansas City. ... The Chargers Antonio Gates three catches for 21 yards, making him the fourth TE in NFL history with 700 catches and 9,000 yards. ... Smith dropped to 0-3 against San Diego as a starting QB. ... Chargers CB Shareece Wright left briefly with an undisclosed injury but returned to the game. .. The Chiefs played without starting RG Jon Asamoah (calf, shoulder) and RT Eric Fisher (shoulder).
