At Westwood ElementarySchool, Principal ShelleyKite spent a portion of her

Friday morning addressingeducational matters andsigning certificates for anupcoming awards assem-

bly.In less than a year, Kite

no longer will look into theeyes of students and teach-ers at school gatherings.

After 16 years of leading

the school, Kite is sayinggoodbye in July. The GearyCounty School Boardaccepted her resignation

during its Tuesday meet-ing.

“It’s like a family,” Kitesaid. “That’s one of the

things people have alwayssaid about Westwood. Theysaid that way before I gothere.”

For many years, Kite saidshe has worked to maintainthat family-like atmosphereat the school.

“I really have a strongconnection to the Westwoodcommunity,” Kite said. “I just love this communityand I love the kids. That’sthe part I’ll miss.”

Kite said it’s been anhonor and privilege to workwith the administrators,

teachers and support staff.“I have learned so much

from my colleagues overthe years in the variouspositions I have assumed,and appreciate the supportthat I have received,” Kitesaid.

Although Kite hasenjoyed her time, runningthe school came with afew challenges.

Some of therecent obstaclesKite has facedwas a 2013 van-dalism incidentat WestwoodElementa-ry, whichresultedin moret h a n

$200,000 in damage, andrenovations in 2008.

“That was a good thing,but it was still challeng-

ing,” Kite said aboutthe renovations. “Wehad to move every-

thing out of the building,and getting all the studentsback in school on time wasa huge situation.”

Over the years, there’sbeen many changes in edu-cation. One of them includ-ed No Child Left Behind, a

2001 federal law that revisedand upgraded educationstandards for public ele-mentary education.Although the program wascriticized by many through-out the United States, Kitesaid there were some posi-tive aspects.

“One of the good thingsthat came out of No ChildLeft Behind was the focuson all kids,” Kite said. “Tothink that everyone canpass a test on a particularday and time was probablyunrealistic, but everybody

can grow and learn.”Kite has served Unified

School District 475 in manyroles for about 40 years.

“It’s been a very goodexperience,” she said.

For the third consecu-

tive month, temperatures

and precipitation were

below normal.The only thing that was

above normal for Decem-

ber was snowfall.

In fact, December was

the coldest December since

2009, so you can expect

your heating bills to be a

bit higher.

The average daily high

during December was 39.6,

1.4 degrees below normal.

The average overnight

low was 15.5, 5.7 degrees

below normal. This gaveus a monthly mean tem-

perature of 27.6, 3.5 degrees

below the long-term aver-

age.

The highest temperature

for the month was 67

degrees on Dec. 3. The low-

est temperature was zero

on the first full day of win-

ter, Dec. 22.There was one tempera-

ture record set in Decem-ber. The low of 43 on the 18

set a new record high lowtemperature for that date.The old record was 41 set

in 1957. While it was achilly month, it’s a longways from the record cold

month.That honor goes to

December 1983 when the

monthly average tempera-ture was only 13.6 degrees.The average overnight low

in December 1983 was 5.5

degrees and we went

through a 72-hour period

when the temperaturenever got above zero and

hit as cold as -21 at night.

On the flip side of that is

the warmest December on

record, which was 1957

when we had a relatively

toasty warm monthly

mean temperature of 40.2.

December precipitation

was pretty well dominated

by a large snowstorm over-

night on the Dec. 21 and

early morning of the Dec.

22.The National Weather

Service predicted that we

were in the bulls-eye for

the heaviest snow, and this

time they were pretty

much dead on.

We had8.5 inches of

snow, plus another one

half inch during the day on

the 22nd resulted in nine

inches of snow.

Fortunately, high windsdid not develop so the

region didn’t have to deal

with severe drifting. Other

precipitation events during

December amounted to a

few hundredths of an inch

in precipitation.

Milford Lake received

0.73 inches of liquid pre-

cipitation during Decem-

ber. Junction City received

0.64 inches.

The normal for Decem-

ber is 1.02 inches. Thesnowfall total of 9.0 inches

for the month was nearly

2½ times the normal for

December of 3.7 inches.

Season to date (October

to December) we would

expect 4.7 inches of snow.

The nine inches we

received as of Dec. 31 is 50

percent of our annual aver-

age snowfall.

The snowiest Decemberon record was in 2009 when

our area received 17.2 inch-

es of snow. January is our

coldest month and driest.

Temperatures basically

bottom out about a third of

the way through the month

and then slowly start to

warm up. Daily high tem-

peratures basically stay in

the upper 30s throughout

the month and average

overnight lows run in the

mid to upper teens.Average liquid precipita-

tion during January is only

0.65 inches with most of

that arriving as snow.

January and February

are our snowiest months

of the year, with an aver-

age of 4.7 inches.

CHAPMAN — After a few dayson the job as police chief, the onlynuisance Emil Halfhill has proba-

bly faced so far is frigid tempera-tures and snow.

“I brought in some cold weath-er,” Halfhill said with humor tothe audience at the Chapman city

council meeting Wednesday. “Iapologize for that.”

Fortunately, there were no fend-er benders, injuries or wrecks

from the inclement weather —something Halfhill said he canknock on wood for.

But he’ll be busier in the future.As the newest face in town, Half-

hill is ready to protect and servethe community of Chapman.

His official start was Jan. 2.

“I’m ready to hit the groundrunning,” Halfhill said. “I’m gladthe mayor and the council gave methe opportunity to be the newchief here.”

Halfhill wants to becomeinvolved in the local DAREprogram.

“I’m looking forward tobeing in the schools andlearning from our youth,”Halfhill said. “I want tostrengthen the bondbetween the communityand the youth in thistown.”

Originally from GreatBend, Halfhill has roughly11 years of law enforcement expe-rience, beginning as a correctionsofficer at Larned CorrectionalMental Health Facility.

Prior to Chapman, he workedfor the Great Bend Police Depart-

ment as a patrolman.After moving to Dighton, he

worked for the Lane County Sher-iff’s Department as a sergeantbefore being promoted to under-sheriff.

While at the Lane Coun-ty Sheriff’s Office, Halfhillbecame a certified DAREinstructor and attendedboth Kansas Top Gun andthe DEA narcotics investi-gator school.

When asked why hechose a career in lawenforcement, Halfhill saidhe’s a nosey person andlikes to talk to people.

But overall, Halfhill said helikes to help individuals.

“No matter what the situationis, anytime someone calls lawenforcement, it’s the biggest prob-lem in their life at that moment,”

he said.Gaining the trust of Chapman

residents is a challenge Halfhillsaid he’ll probably have to face.

“Sometimes in small communi-ties, it’s hard to get the people toaccept you,” Halfhill said. “So farI’ve been accepted very well.”

His young age may be anotherfactor.

“Most people in my position arein their mid- to late-50s,” the29-year-old said. “A challenge I seein an older community is becom-ing established, gaining their trustand continuing to strengthen thebond with the youth.”

Halfhill has been married formore than 10 years to his wifeCandace, and together they have adaughter, Cadence.

In his spare time, he enjoysbeing outside and loves to fish andhunt.

WASHINGTON — Aspart of changes to theArmy’s Warrior Care andTransition Program, sev-eral Warrior TransitionUnits will be inactivated,but Fort Riley will insteadsee some new faces.

Instead, the CommunityCare Unit at Fort Riley willbenefit, as the cadre from

the Community BasedWarrior Transition Unit(CBWTU) in Utah willtransition to the Commu-nity Care Unit at FortRiley.

All nine CBWTUs will beinactivated, the Armyannounced, and 13 CCUswill be established at 11Army installations.

Fort Riley will be one of

those 11 installations witha CCU; two installations — Fort Belvoir, Va. andFort Knox, Ky., will eachhave two CCUs.

In addition, five WarriorTransition Units will bedeactivated, those beingones where the populationof wounded, ill and injuredsoldiers is extremely low.

WTUs slated for inacti-vation include Fort Irwin,Calif.; Fort Huachuca,Ariz.; Fort Jackson, S.C.;Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst; and the UnitedStates Military Academy,West Point, N.Y.

Changes are expected tobe implemented by Sept.30.

“These changes reflect

our commitment to keep

the faith with our soldiers

and their families,” said

Brig. Gen. John Cho, Com-

mander of the Western

Regional Medical Com-

mand. “Adapting our mis-

sion to serve a declining

population of wounded, ill

and injured soldiers

enhances the overall care

we provide to our sol-diers.”

Brig. Gen. David Bishop,

Commander of the War-

rior Transition Command

and Assistant Surgeon

General for Warrior Care

and Transition, said that

the changes are not related

to budget cuts, sequestra-

Regional leaders areseeking additional fundingsources for ATA Bus, anarea public transit servicewith a growing user base.

To better meet its users’needs, ATA Bus and theFlint Hills Regional Coun-cil have been attempting totap into up to $1 million infederal urban transitfunds.

But because ATA Bus isnot a public entity, it isn’teligible to directly receivethose funds.

As a solution, the Flint

Hills Regional Councilwants to create the FlintHills Regional TransitAdministration, a publicentity that could receivethose funds and have theauthority to providethem to regional transit

services through contractsor grants.

On Tuesday, Flint HillsRegional Council Execu-tive Director William Clarktold the Junction City Com-mission the funds wouldhelp ATA Bus meet thearea’s growing public tran-sit needs.

“In the past year, the(ATA Bus) ridership is over250,000,” Clark said. “Thedemand is going up and upeach year.”

The City Commissionappeared to be in favor ofsigning an interlocal agree-ment to form the group,but tabled the discussion toallow city attorney KatieLogan time to review thedocument.

The agreement would bebetween six members —

Geary, Pottawatomie andRiley counties; JunctionCity, Manhattan and Kan-sas State University. ATABus provides services inthose areas and Fort Riley.

Each member wouldappoint one representativeto sit on a governing board.Fort Riley would have anonvoting representative.

ATA Bus already is eligi-ble for federal rural transitfunds. The urban transitfunds now are availablebecause of the establish-ment of the Manhattan

Urban Area, which includesJunction City and GearyCounty.

The second source offunds could help the ser-vice meet the increaseddemand.

With more money, ATABus could add fixed routesin the urban area. The newadministration also couldhave a say in what equip-ment is provided for tran-sit services, Clark said.

The Kansas Departmentof Transportation wants totake a regional approach to

the area’s public transitneeds “because you have

two cities that are growingvery quickly and right inthe middle is the largestemployer in the state ofKansas — Fort Riley, Kan-sas,” Clark said.

Kansas Secretary ofTransportation Mike Kinglikes the council’s idea,Clark said.

“He’s behind it,” he said.“He fully endorses it.”

Clark added King is pre-pared to recommend theidea to Kansas AttorneyGeneral Derek Schmidt,who would need to endorsethe new public body.

The Flint Hills RegionalCouncil hopes to have each jurisdiction sign the agree-ment by the end of themonth.

Clark discusses Transit Administration to City Commission“In the past year, the (ATA Bus) ridership is

over 250,000. The demand is going up andup each year.”

Amiri Baraka, the mili-tant man of letters andtireless agitator whose

blues-based, fist-shakingpoems, plays and criticism

made him a provocativeand groundbreaking forcein American culture, has

died. He was 79.His booking agent,

Celeste Bateman, told The

Associated Press thatBaraka, who had been hos-

pitalized since last month,died Thursday at Newark

Beth Israel Medical Cen-ter.

Perhaps no writer of the

1960s and ‘70s was moreradical or polarizing thanthe former LeRoi Jones,and no one did more toextend the political debatesof the civil rights era to theworld of the arts.

He inspired at least onegeneration of poets, play-wrights and musicians,and his immersion in spo-ken word traditions andraw street language antici-pated rap, hip-hop andslam poetry.

The FBI feared him tothe point of flattery, identi-

fying Baraka as “the per-son who will probablyemerge as the leader of the

Pan-African movement inthe United States.”

Baraka transformedfrom the rare black to jointhe Beat caravan of AllenGinsberg and Jack Ker-ouac to leader of the BlackArts Movement, an ally ofthe Black Power movementthat rejected the liberaloptimism of the early ‘60sand intensified a divideover how and whether theblack artist should take onsocial issues.

Scorning art for art’ssake and the pursuit of

black-white unity, Barakwas part of a philosophythat called for the teaching

of black art and historyand producing works thatbluntly called for revolu-tion.

“We want ‘poems thatkill,”’ Baraka wrote in hislandmark “Black Art,” amanifesto published in1965, the year he helpedfound the Black Arts Move-ment.

“Assassin poems. Poemsthat shoot guns/Poemsthat wrestle cops intoalleys/and take their weap-ons leaving them dead/with tongues pulled out

and sent to Ireland.”He was as eclectic as he

was prolific: His influences

ranged from Ray Bradburyand Mao Zedong to Gins-berg and John Coltrane.Baraka wrote poems, shortstories, novels, essays,plays, musical and culturalcriticism and jazz operas.

His 1963 book “BluesPeople” has been called thefirst major history of blackmusic to be written by anAfrican-American.

A line from his poem“Black People!” — “Upagainst the wall mother f-----” — became a countercul-ture slogan for everyone

from student protesters tothe rock band JeffersonAirplane.

NEWS TO KNOW

Headlines from CES 2014Netflix app to

stream 4K on newTVs immediately

By The Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — Netflixsays video streaming of itsprogramming in ultra-highdefinition will work for buy-ers of new UHD sets fromSony, LG, Samsung, Vizioand others upon purchase.

That’s because Ultra HDmodels from those makerswill include the Netflix appand chips that decode signalsin the so-called High Effi-ciency Video Coding stan-dard, or HEVC.

The chip is required todecode signals that NetflixInc. will compress by morethan 100 times and squeeze

through the Internet at aspeed of 15.6 megabits persecond. That’s a downloadspeed widely available fromInternet providers in the U.S.

When the sets go on sale inthe next few months, Netflixwill be ready with Ultra HDprogramming, includingsome nature documentariesand the second season of itsoriginal series, “House ofCards.” Ultra HD streamingwill be part of the standardNetflix streaming price of $8a month, the company said.

Netflix showed off stream-ing in Ultra HD, or 4K, on thesidelines of the International

CES gadget show this week.The format has four times asmany pixels as standard HDand vastly improves the clar-ity of larger screens thatmeasure 60 or more inchesdiagonally. Netflix videos

that are available in thesharper format are labeledwith the “Ultra HD 4K” sym-bol.

The picture was crisp on alarge Sony Bravia screenwhen running off hotel Inter-net that was boosted to 50Mbps, and didn’t seem totake any longer than stan-dard Netflix video to load.

Neil Hunt, Netflix’s chiefproduct officer, said the com-pany was in a “unique place”by being able to order origi-nal programming in 4K andthen being able to deliver it tothe small group of earlyadopters while the format is

still in its early stages.“People are recognizing

that disc formats are yester-day’s solution,” Hunt said.

Carmakers:Driverless cars need

legal frameworkBy The Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — Thefuture of driving is rightaround the corner.

Hydrogen- and solar-powered vehicles are on thestreets. So are cars that canget you through stop-and-

go traffic while you sit backand send texts from behindthe wheel. Cars are evenusing radar, ultrasonicwaves and cameras to jumpinto the passing lane andget around slowpokes.

Sure, all of these tech-nologies are still in the test-ing phase, but that hasn’tstopped car makers andtechnology companies fromshowing off a new para-digm of driving at the Inter-national CES gadget showthis week. It’s a world inwhich you no longer gripthe wheel with excitement,but instead relax with abook or movie as your carchauffeurs you to your des-tination.

It’s also a future thatwon’t materialize, say car-makers, unless legislatorsaround the world create a

new legal framework.One simulation at CES by

Delphi Automotive PLC, aprovider of auto parts andtechnology to major manu-facturers including Ford,GM and Volvo, shows thepossibilities. The scenario,using a stationary butsouped-up Tesla Model S,imagines “autonomousdriving lanes,” much likecarpool lanes today. Thecompany says vehiclesmight someday enter theselanes and then run on auto-pilot. The feat is possibletoday with a mixture oftechnology that keeps cars

inside lanes and adaptivecruise control that matchesa car’s speed to the vehiclein front of it.

While in the autonomouslane, the car’s window glassfrosts up and functions that

had been disabled for thedriver — like video playingfrom a mini projector —turn on. The driver canpursue other activities, likesurfing the Web or eventaking a nap.

When the driver’s exitnears, the car gets increas-ingly persistent, demand-ing that the driver takeback control.

First, the video playerstops. Then a female voiceintones, “Place both handson the steering wheel andlook ahead in the drivingdirection.”

Finally, the seat starts

vibrating and a driver-fac-ing camera ensures he orshe is looking at the road.The driver taps a steeringwheel knob, takes control,and drives on.

The experience is similarto airline pilots who grabthe controls for take-offand landing but let a com-puter do the rest.

“These technologies existnow and the carmakersassure us they’re ready togo,” said Jim Travers, asso-ciate editor of autos forConsumer Reports maga-zine. “It’s really not thatfar off.”

Chris Christie and theabuse of power

The following editorial appeared inthe Chicago Tribune on Friday, Jan. 10

Chris Christie is a guy you want to like, some-

times despite himself. He’s just made that a

lot harder to do.

Take him at his word that he knew nothing about

the arrogant abuse of government power to bully a

political opponent, creating a public safety risk and

inconveniencing thousands of people.

Take him at his word on that, and you still havethis: He created an environment in which some of

his most trusted people thought that was a slick

trick. They reveled in it. Until they got caught.

Give Christie this. His apology on Thursday was

full-throated. When he said he was “embarrassed

and humiliated,” you could feel it. He fired his

deputy chief of staff. He didn’t dodge. He asked

exactly the right question: “What did I do wrong to

have these folks think it was OK to lie to me?”

The pilots and owners of 16 airplanes are still

waiting for an apology from former Chicago Mayor

Richard M. Daley, who abused his power, and

stranded their planes, when he ordered bulldozers

to carve up the runway at Meigs Field in the middle

of the night a decade ago.

Political arrogance tends to be more corrosive

than your everyday arrogance because the power

of government is so vast.That’s what struck us here: That people would

wield that power with such force, and feel so gleeful

about it.

You know the story by now. Aides to Christie cre-

ated a roadblock in September that caused long

traffic backups on Fort Lee, N.J., roads leading to

the George Washington Bridge into New York City,

to punish a mayor who had refused to endorse

Christie’s re-election. Commuters were inconve-

nienced, but the backups also delayed school buses

and emergency responders.

Christie initially said the backups were caused

by a legitimate traffic study. But subpoenas issued

by state lawmakers turned up a series of electronic

messages that confirmed Christie’s government

and political operatives had orchestrated the mess,

and for a specific purpose.

The governor’s deputy chief of staff tells apolitical operative: “Time for some traffic problems

in Fort Lee.”

“Got it,” replies the operative, David Wildstein, a

childhood friend of the governor who worked at the

Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which

runs bridges, tunnels, airports and transit.

A couple of weeks later, two of the three local

access lanes on the New Jersey side of the bridge

were shut down. Delays ran into hours. Fire, police

and ambulance services were impeded. School

buses full of kids stood idle.

Then the gloating started. One unidentified tex-

ter referenced the school-bus delays: “Is it wrong

that I’m smiling?”

“No,” Wildstein wrote back. “They are the chil-

dren of Buono voters.” Barbara Buono was the

Democratic challenger to Christie.

Christie handily won the election — he surelydidn’t need any political dirty tricks to keep his

career on track. But he’s going to be dogged by this

for a long time. Rev up the investigations. Maybe

they’ll conclude before the 2016 Iowa caucuses,

maybe they won’t.

If Christie comes up with an answer to that ques-

tion — What did I do wrong? — it would serve him

well to let us all know what it is. Introspection

wouldn’t be a sign of weakness, especially for the

famously brash governor of New Jersey.

A good lesson for others who wield government

power: Check your arrogance. Think of it as a pre-

emptive strike on looming embarrassment.

 Afghanistan, Iraq andthe Middle East

BY GLENN MOLLETTE

Special to The Daily Union

We need to pull our troops out ofAfghanistan and take a com-

pletely different approach tothe Middle East.

Four thousand, four hundred andeighty six American soldiers werekilled in Iraq between 2003 and 2012.Plus there were approximately 174,000

civilian and combatant deaths. Theseare horrendous numbers of death notcounting the thousands who are still

trying to recuperate physically andmentally from Iraq.

News of hard won Fallujah being

recaptured to Al Qaeda linked forcestouches the nerve of service memberswho fought there. The average Ameri-

can watching the news shakes his headat the hardships of the Iraqi people.Tragedy is written everywhere. We

know about the death of our childrenand parents and soldiers maimed forlife as they stepped on explosive mines.

We have seen the news clips of a coun-try and people ravaged by war.

We left Iraq celebrating about thegood we did. We claimed victory inhelping Iraq progress to a better gov-ernment and a safer place to live. Weturned our attention to Afghanistanand for a moment we listened to ourPresident say, “Osama bin Laden isdead and the Taliban is on the run.”

That sounded good but soon wore off.Recent months of Iraq and Afghani-stan terrorist activity only underscoresthey didn’t run too far.

They have hidden in the rocks andcaves of those Middle East countriesresurfacing to fight even though thewar might kill their own fathers, wives,mothers and children. They do notcare.

Our political leaders have decided tokeep our military presence in Afghani-stan for at least another ten years. Youcan count on it being longer. Many gov-ernment leaders will now wish we hadstayed in Iraq and we will be back theresupplying weapons and military lead-ership.

And what about Syria? It’s a miraclewe don’t have 50,000 soldiers in Syria.The pressure to aid Syria has been phe-

nomenal. They are truly a devastatedcountry that needs help.

The big problem is we are going tocrash in America trying to police theworld. Egypt, Iran and Yemen are otherhot spots of severe concern. How farcan we go?

It’s time to pull our troops out of

Afghanistan and take a more realisticapproach to the Middle East. We cansupply military leadership and orga-nizers along with weapons, suppliesand food better than we can send fiftyto a hundred thousand soldiers in eachcountry. By the way, each of these

countries is wealthy in oil.They can afford to pay us for our

help even if i t takes them fifty years.And then we can try to repay China forall the money we’ve borrowed fromthem.

OPINION

Republicans have little to offer poor

Last week, Republicans markedthe 50th anniversary of LyndonJohnson’s War on Poverty by

denouncing it as an abject failure. Rep.Steve Southerland, R-Fla., performed amathematical sleight of hand in declar-ing that “more people are living inpoverty than ever before.”

The National Review, the intellectualstandard-bearer of movement conser-

vatism, published an editorial relyingon the same deceptive math. (Yes, morepeople are living in poverty, but thepercentage is lower. The populationhas grown in the last half-century.)House Speaker John Boehner rushedto agree with those analyses.

But the more interesting assaultscame from a handful of young Turks,including Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.,and House Budget Committee Chair-man Paul Ryan, R-Wis., who under-stand that the GOP needs to change itsimage to reflect more charity and com-passion toward the less fortunate. Theypresented familiar criticisms of gov-ernment intervention on behalf of thepoor while also promising they wouldintroduce better solutions.

If only they were sincere. As theUnited States — like the rest of theindustrialized world — grapples withstructural economic changes that arehollowing out the middle class, its lead-ers desperately need to come up withnew ideas to help struggling Ameri-cans maintain a decent standard ofliving. Unfortunately, Republicanshave next to nothing to offer.

Take Rubio’s speech. His proposalswere warmed-over Republican rhetoricfrom the last three decades, includingthe oft-repeated complaint that poorpeople are impoverished because theyrefuse to get married. He might as wellhave been Dan Qualye in 1992, railingagainst the fictional out-of-wedlock

mother Murphy Brown.

“The truth is, the greatest tool to liftchildren and families from poverty isone that decreases the probability ofchild poverty by 82 percent. But it isn’ta government spending program. It’scalled marriage,” he said.

This argument makes me crazy. I’ma huge fan of the institution because ofthe many benefits a good marriagebestows: intimacy, companionship, sta-bility. But it does not solve poverty.Suggesting it does is a logical fallacy — confusing cause and correlation.

Any survey of government data willshow you that the poorest householdsare more likely to be headed by singlemothers. But would they be any moreprosperous if they were married tomen who are unemployed? I don’t see

how.Brookings Institution economist Isa-

bel Sawhill has written, “If individualsdo just three things — finish highschool, work full time and marry beforethey have children — their chances ofbeing poor drop from 15 percent to 2percent.”

I have little doubt of that. But whereare those full-time jobs to come from?The unemployment rate among blackmen with high school diplomas standsat around 30 percent, more than fourtimes higher than the national averageof 7 percent, according to an analysisby Remapping Debate, a left-leaningnews site. That helps explain the lowmarriage rates among less affluent

blacks. (Joblessness is increasingly

affecting working-class whites, too, andtheir marriage rates are also drop-ping.)

Rubio’s speech also depended heavi-ly on the conservative mythology thatlow taxes and less government regula-tion would create good jobs, a claimthat decades of Republican rule havealready shown to be a lie.

If the GOP formula worked, theeconomy would have thrived duringthe tenure of George W. Bush, whofamously cut taxes (leading to much ofthe deficit that Republicans nowbemoan) and stripped away govern-ment regulations on business.

The result? Economists call the Bushyears a “lost decade” during whichthere was zero net jobs growth. Zero.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution colum-nist Jay Bookman recently exposed thesame nonsense at the state level. InGeorgia, which has had Republicanleadership since 2002, taxes have beenslashed and public services scaledback. Some schools can’t even afford tostay open for the standard 180 days ayear.

Has poverty in Georgia decreased asa result of this GOP experiment? Hard-ly. “In 2002, Georgia had the nation’s20th-highest poverty rate. Today wehave the seventh-highest poverty rate.There is no way that can be defined assuccess or even as holding our own,”Bookman wrote.

The sad truth is that Republicanshave no workable plans for reducingpoverty — just a plan to fool the politi-cal classes into thinking they care.America’s poor deserve more thanthat.

gy is inviting Kansas

schools, non-profit organi-

zations and government

agencies to submit propos-

als for solar projects, and

for selected projects, theutility will partner with

them by providing funds to

purchase and install the

solar panels.

Target projects for the

kilowatts and must provide

electricity to a facility in

Kansas. Westar expects toprovide funding for pur-

chase and installation of

about 15-20 solar systems.

Projects will be selected

based on the opportunity to

provide education about

solar energy, the character-

istics of the site, the organi-

zation’s readiness to havethe solar panels installed

and geographic diversity.

This program is in coopera-

tion with the Environmen-

tal Protection Agency and

the Kansas Department of

Health and Environment.

Full program details and

the application are availableat www.WestarEnergy.com/

solarproject. Applications

are due by March 1.

In addition to the commu-

nity projects, Westar is

installing solar systems on

several of its own buildings

to study the performance of

solar panels in this area.Westar is fitting its service

centers in Manhattan and

Lawrence with 40 kW solar

arrays, and installing a 75

kW solar system on the roof

of its Shawnee Service Cen-

ter. Westar will share data

gathered from the installa-

tions with customers to helpthem make informed choic-

es regarding solar energy.

Dear Annie:  I am themanager of a small bakery.

I’ve had the same employ-ee, “Sue,” for the past nineyears.

She is lazy and unin-volved, and I gave her aso-so review.

Much to my surprise, Suewas promoted to manage-ment in another facility.

I was happy for herachievement, until I heardshe was telling others thatshe was doing the majorityof my work, includingordering supplies.

She added that I was suf-fering from Alzheimer’sand couldn’t rememberanything. None of this istrue.

I think it may have beenprompted by my less thanstellar review.

Since Sue has been pro-moted, she has been askingme a lot of questions abouthow to do her job, becauseshe is clueless.

She doesn’t know that Iam aware of her nasty com-ments.

Last week, another co-worker told me that Sue isbullying her assistant andmaking her do the majorityof her work.

She is already makingenemies there, and becauseof her lack of supervision,

the bakery is becomingfilthy and a potential healthhazard.

Should I keep quiet aboutwhat I know or contacthuman resources (anony-mously) and report hermisconduct, as a fewemployees have suggested?

I am retiring soon anddon’t really need the drama. — Caught in the Middle

Dear Caught:  You havenothing to report otherthan hearsay from co-work-ers.

You have not witnessedany of this firsthand, andyou don’t know whether itis true.

The fact that Sue callsyou for help is meaning-less.

Many employees rely onothers when given newresponsibilities.

The negative things youalready know about Suewere in your review.

They promoted her any-way.You can complainabout the condition of thebakery, but Sue’s new co-workers should be the onesto take responsibility forcomplaining to humanresources now.

Dear Annie:  I have fouradult children.I announced to all of

them that I would not beholding Thanksgiving orChristmas dinners at myhome and that they werewelcome to spend the timewith their in-laws.

My oldest was hurtbecause she has no in-lawsto go to.

My son texted his middlesister to ask what was g oing

on. My middle daughterwas upset, saying I wasallowing my youngest

daughter to be the “win-ner.”

My youngest daughterspent both days at a localchurch feeding the needy.

Why was my family sepa-rated?

Because my middle andyoungest are not speakingto each other.

When one of them is hurtor angry, they hurl viciousinsults at each other.

I feel bad about this, but Irefuse to sit at a table withthese uncaring adults andpretend that all is well.

I had a nice TV dinnerand a slice of sweet potato

pie with whipped cream forthe holidays.

The losers in this messare my grandchildren andI.

I take responsibility forraising these people, but Iwill not allow them to ruinmy day. — June

Dear June:  If your chil-dren make your holidaycelebrations frustratingand stressful, you do nothave to include them.

But how sad for all of youto spend these holidays sep-arated or alone.

Please give your children

one more chance.Explain to them that nas-tiness will not be toleratedin your home and the firstperson to use an insult ofany kind will be asked toleave.

By now, they know youmean business.

Dear Annie: I loved youranswer to “Last-MinuteHostess,” whose stepsonand his f amily always showup hours late for Thanks-giving dinner.

Here’s how I wouldrespond to those who ar rivelate: “You’re just in time fora piece of pie!”

I bet they won’t show uplate the next time. — Fort

Myers, Fla.

ARIES  (March 21—April 19). Somethink it’s their job to be the agitator. Avoidthem, because an agitation—free envi-ronment will be surprisingly enjoyable. Sowhat if there’s nothing to say about itlater?

TAURUS (April 20—May 20). Design-ers of amusement park rides make itpretty obvious for the passengers toknow when to get off the ride. Other situ-ations in life aren’t as obvious, but ifyou’re observant, you’ll sense the rightmoment to exit.

GEMINI  (May 21—June 21). You’ll bein a position to persuade someone to dowhat ultimately will be in everyone’s bestinterest. Should you use the tickling feath-er or the hard boot? Start with the feath-

er, and if that doesn’t work, switch.CANCER (June 22—July 22). There’s a

belief that’s weighing you down, ormaybe it’s a pile of clutter, but the answeris the same. Dead weight, whether meta-physical or tangible, is dead weight. Loseit, or it will slow you down.

LEO (July 23—Aug. 22). Out of fond-ness, you’ll talk about a certain person alittle more than others, ponder your nextmeeting and go out of your way to pleasethis person. And the feeling is mutual.

VIRGO (Aug. 23—Sept. 22). It’s fine toshow your work before it’s finished today.The work in progress is impressivebecause observers must fill in the blankswith their minds, thus investing them-selves in the vision.

LIBRA (Sept. 23—Oct. 23). Regarding

your past mistakes: Just remember thatyou didn’t make them all at the sametime. Also, no one other than you evenremembers most of them. So you get thebenefit of the lesson and remain stain—free!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24—Nov. 21). Becauseyou want to know someone, you’ll takethe time to build a bridge between yourtwo worlds. It’s a lot of work upfront, butonce it’s built, you can cross it wheneveryou want.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22—Dec. 21). Liv-ing fully is your style, as you’ll demon-strate with today’s shenanigans. You’llhave an adventure before lunch andthree more before your head hits the pil-low.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22—Jan. 19). Don’tlet yourself be used by someone whohasn’t figured out that people aren’t step-pingstones to success. People may pointout the path and offer a steady hand ofsupport, but they, unlike stones, havefeelings.

AQUARIUS  (Jan. 20—Feb. 18). Aimyour efforts at one person. When youknow whom your work is for, it will bespecific and personal and somehow morerelatable to many others.

PISCES  (Feb. 19—March 20). Yourproject needs momentum. If you stop forlunch, a phone call or an errand, gettingback into the swing will be hard, if it hap-pens at all. Don’t stop until everyone

agrees you’ve arrived somewhere.

ley listed the duties of themayor according to citycodes, which he said include

the responsibility of over-seeing the city’s employeebenefit program and ensur-ing compliance with cityordinances.

“Do any of you think themayor did that?” Talleyasked the council. “He wastold it was wrong. He shouldhave stopped it probablythe 15th of February.”

Last month, Talley askedRoether why steps weren’ttaken to stop paying for thebenefits in February 2013when Talley first addressedthe issue.

“He answered to the effectof ‘the city council approvedit,’” by approving themonthly bills, Talley saidThursday. “If the CityCouncil truly and officiallyapproved it, they wouldhave changed the provision(in city code). So somethingelse happened.”

“I think his answer wasevasive and I think kind ofa poor attempt to lay theblame on the council,” Tal-ley said.

Before he asked aboutadherence to city codes,Talley asked the councilwhether any of them com-municated with Roether to

continue the health insur-

ance benefits, and whetherthe council was negligentin its oversight.

Council member DennisCox said he had no com-ment. Doug Kneisl and BillNoveroske both said theyweren’t in communicationwith Roether about the pay-ments’ continuance.

Kneisl said he had nocomment on the negligencequestion.

Kneisl brought up Colp’shealth insurance benefitsin July and again in Sep-tember. Kneisl even calledfor Colp’s termination inSeptember, but his motiondied for lack of a second.

Council member BillNoveroske said Talley wasa member of the councilwhen the issue first aroseand also was negligent.

“I think all of us were,”

Noveroske said, adding thatincluded Talley.Talley said he’s admitted

his negligence.Council member Dennis

Bolte had enough of Tall-ey’s questions.

“Jim, we put you on theagenda, which did not giveyou the right to go ques-tioning everybody on yourspecific, personal agenda,”Bolte said. “Because that’swhat you’re doing here andI personally resent that.”

Bolte added the councilwas aware of the situationbefore Talley brought it upin February.

“Until you said some-

thing in public, nothingever happened? That’stotally incorrect,” Boltesaid. “We were working on

a solution to the problemlong before that and youwere part of the council

when it happened.”Colp has told The Daily

Union he initiated a con-versation with Roetherabout benefits in 2012 afterhe moved from full-time to

part-time status. Colp said“nothing really came outabout that.”

The council has saidmeasures have been taken

since Colp’s insuranceended, but hasn’t describedthose measures.

For several months, Tal-

ley has been seeking anexplanation.

On Thursday, he said$12,000 is a significant sum

for many Milford taxpay-ers.

“If you randomly select-ed 40 homeowners in thecity, I bet you would find

some had to borrow to paytheir taxes (and) don’t haveany health insurance, orare paying through theirnose for a mediocre health

plan that pales in compari-son to the gold-plated planthat was wrongly paid for,”he said.

Talley said he’s in talks

with an attorney over thematter and would like tosee a town hall meeting

take place.

Fort Riley’s Morris Hill

Chapel listened, Capt.

Kevin Dual, Combat Avia-

tion Brigade chaplain, said

the loss of those five men

“was impenetrably agoniz-

ing for us to at first under-

stand.

“I thought, ‘Somebody

made a mistake; must have

been from somebody else’s

unit,’” he said. “But then

the facts were presented

and there was no escape

and no mistakes — they

were ours.”

Killed in the crash were:

• Chief Warrant Officer 2

ma

• Chief Warrant Officer 2

• Sgt. First Class Omar

• and Spc. Terry Gordon,

22, Shubuta, Miss.

Also killed was Staff Sgt.

Jesse Williams of the Sec-

ond Stryker Cavalry Regi-

ment, Vilseck, Germany.

During Thursday’s cere-

mony, Lt. Col. Matthew

Weinshel, 1-6 Cavalry

Squadron Commander,

said he had flown with

each of the soldiers, except

Forde.

Weinshel said the loss of

so many soldiers at once

and so close to the holidays

makes the grief sting that

much more.

“Every single soldier we

lose, particularly in com-

bat, hits us very hard, most

often personally,” Wein-

shel said. “We worked, cel-

ebrated, labored, support-

ed, shared and led with

each of these great patri-

ots, both in training and in

combat. We shared stories,

hopes and goals for our

individual and collective

futures.

“Each of these soldiers

knew full well the risks

they assumed, but they

loved their mission and

each other,” he said. “They

truly loved flying and told

me so on several occa-

sions.”

The example of service

the men set should be held

onto, Dual said.

“All of them were

unselfish, they loved peo-

ple, cared for their fami-

lies and worked hard with

soldiers,” he said. “What-

ever specific memory you

have of these champions,

it’s real. From each one, we

acquire specific, positive

traits of sterling character

which we project to our

sphere of influence.”

Weinshel echoed Dual’s

remarks.

“As with all of us, they

were torn between their

love of and desire to return

to their families, while feel-

ing a deep dedication to

their comrades and mis-

sion,” Weinshel said. “That

is what made them great.”

NEW DELHI — The Unit-ed States said Friday it was

withdrawing a diplomat fromIndia in hopes it would end abitter dispute that startedwith the arrest and stripsearch of an Indian diplomatin New York.

Washington’s announce-ment that it was complyingwith a demand from NewDelhi for the expulsion of theU.S. official came hours afterDevyani Khobragade, India’sdeputy consul general inNew York, left the U.S.

Khobragade, 39, is accusedof exploiting her Indian-bornhousekeeper and nanny,allegedly having her workmore than 100 hours a week

for low pay and lying about iton a visa form. Khobragadehas maintained her inno-cence, and Indian officialshave described her treatmentas barbaric. In an apparentcompromise, she was indict-ed by a federal grand jurybut also granted immunitythat allowed her to leave theUnited States. Khobragadearrived in New Delhi on Fri-day, where she was met atthe airport by her father anda sister.

“She just said, ‘Papa, I love

you,’ and that’s all. And she’shappy to be back,” her father,Uttam Khobragade, told

reporters. Khobragade leftthe airport separatelythrough an exit that is notaccessible to the public.

Many believed that Kho-bragade’s return to Indiawould be enough to give bothcountries a way to save face.India, however, asked theUnited States on Friday towithdraw a diplomat fromthe U.S. Embassy in NewDelhi, and the State Depart-ment said it was complying,although with “deep regret.”

“We expect and hope thatthis will now come to clo-sure, and the Indians willnow take significant stepswith us to improve our rela-tionship and return it to amore constructive place,”spokeswoman Jen Psaki told

reporters in Washington.Requesting the recall of a

diplomat is a serious, andfairly unusual, move thatsends a message to Washing-ton that India’s governmentdoesn’t accept the legitimacyof the court action in NewYork. Given the strategicpartnership between Indiaand the U.S. and more than$100 billion in trade, any fur-ther escalation in the casewould not be in the interestof either country, analystssaid.

Psaki did not identify the

U.S. diplomat but said it was

the individual whose expul-sion was sought by India.India’s Foreign Ministrydescribed the person as ofthe same rank as Khobra-gade and somehow involvedin the case, the Press Trust

of India news agency report-ed.

Much of India’s outragestems from the circumstanc-es of Khobragade’s arrest,which were seen as unneces-

sarily humiliating. Khobra-gade was picked up Dec. 13and then strip-searchedwhile in custody, which theU.S. Marshals say is commonpractice.

In India, the process wasseen as a brutal affront to amiddle-class, educatedwoman and a violation ofcourtesies afforded to diplo-mats the world over. The casehas also led to complaints inIndia that the United Statesis not treating it like a power-ful nation on equal footingwith Washington.

“The case goes beyond thedignity of one diplomat,”

said Sreeram Chaulia, aninternational affairs expertat Jindal School of Interna-tional Affairs in New Delhi.“India made its point, whichis that you can’t take Indiafor granted.”

India also unleashed asteady stream of retaliatorymeasures against U.S. diplo-mats. Some of the measures,such as preventing the Amer-ican Center in New Delhifrom screening movies, wereseen by some observers aspetty. But others raisedalarm, including removingconcrete traffic barriers

around the U.S. Embassy andrevoking diplomats’ ID cards.A visit to India next week byU.S. Energy Secretary Ernest

Moniz has been canceled.“It’s a shame this came to

the fore over one individual,”said Lalit Mansingh, India’sambassador to the U.S. from2001 to 2004. “It sends themessage that we’re touchyabout personal integrity,rather than about issues ofglobal importance.”

Ties with the United Stateshave chilled in recent yearsover several serious policyissues, including India’sdelays in enacting more busi-ness-friendly reforms andthe U.S. National SecurityAgency’s alleged spying onNew Delhi and other foreign

governments. The U.S. charg-es against Khobragade willremain pending until she canbe brought to court, eitherthrough a waiver of immu-nity or her return to the U.S.without immunity status,according to the office of U.S.Attorney Preet Bharara.

Khobragade’s lawyer, Dan-iel Arshack, said his clientwas “pleased to be returningto her country.”

“Her head is held high,” hesaid. “She knows she hasdone no wrong and she looksforward to assuring that thetruth is known.”

The indictment paints apicture of Khobragade as aharsh employer who refusedto allow her housekeeper,

Sangeeta Richard, days off,even telling her “not to getsick because it was expen-sive.”

U.S. prosecutors say Kho-bragade claimed to pay Rich-ard $4,500 per month in orderto obtain a visa for her. Butthey say Khobragade actual-ly paid Richard $573 per

month and often forced herto work more than 100 hoursa week without a single fullday off.

The long hours meantRichard was earning $1.42 orless per hour, the indictmentsays.

After about six months of

working for Khobragade,Richard fled and sought helpfrom a nonprofit group thatworks with human traffick-ing victims because Khobra-gade refused to hand overher passport and allow her toreturn home, according tothe indictment.

It also alleges that afterthe housekeeper fled, Kho-bragade and a relative triedto intimidate Richard’s fami-ly in India by demandingthey reveal Richard’s where-abouts. Khobragade alsolaunched a legal complaintagainst Richard in India.

TOPEKA — The Junction Cityboys basketball team (3-3, 1-1)traveled to Highland Park (6-0,2-0) with the hopes of making astatement against the No. 1 teamin class 5A.

Doing so on the day the Scotswere dedicating their home courtto retiring coach Ken Dartingwould only make the statementstand out even more.

However, the Blue Jays couldn’tcontend with Highland Park’scombination of size and speed,failing to damper the Scots’ cele-bration in a 62-39 loss Friday eve-ning.

“This team is as good at pres-suring the basketball and as goodat getting in the passing lanes as

any team we’llsee,” JunctionCity coach PatBattle said.“We’ve got to han-dle the pressurebetter and the onething we’ve got tobe better at is weput it on the decktoo much, wedribbled it toomuch and we’ve

got to limit that.”Junction City opened the game

poised for an upset.Senior Jonathan Wilds hit a

three to put the Blue Jays ahead9-7.

But then Highland Park’s Jah-mal McMurry made sure hiscoach would always remember

the night his name was put on thefloor.

McMurray torched the Jays for24 points, including knockingdown four 3-point attempts.

Battle called McMurray one ofthe best guards his team will seeall season.

“He was able to create his ownshot off the dribble and makethem from 23, 24 feet, that’s prettygood,” Battle said. “He’s just avery good basketball player. I

thought our kids did a really good

 job of fighting with him and

defending him. I thought he

played very hard tonight, you just

have to give credit to him.”

Battle said his team’s biggest

issues weren’t with containing

the Scots.

Instead, he felt an inability tofind much of an offensive rhythm

Curt Schilling’slawyer: Papers

contradict chargesA lawyer for former Red Sox

pitcher Curt Schilling says newdocuments directly contradict theallegations in a lawsuit that RhodeIsland’s economic developmentagency filed over his video gamecompany’s collapse.

Sarah Concannon said after abrief court hearing Friday thatdocuments she recently receivedcontradict the charges and showthey’re baseless. The documentshad previously been withheldbecause lawyers for the Economic

Development Corp. maintainedthey were privileged.

The EDC backed a $75 millionloan for 38 Studios, which wentbankrupt. Rhode Island is nowresponsible for some $90 millionrelated to the transaction.

Schilling is among 14 defen-dants in the suit, which allegesfraud, misrepresentation andbreach of fiduciary duty, amongother things.

The EDC’s lead attorney on thecase, Max Wistow, wasn’t imme-diately available to comment.

MANHATTAN — For stretches of the

No. 25 Kansas State basketball team’s (12-

3, 2-0) practice on Thursday, Wildcatcoach Bruce Weber blasted fake crowd

noise from speakers onto the team’s prac-tice court.

It’s a new tactic for Weber. He didn’t

use it last season, nor in his nine years atIllinois preparing for many boisterous

Big Ten arenas.

However, with a date against Kansas(10-4, 1-0) looming at hostile Phog Allen

Fieldhouse today, Weber wanted to makesure his young team — which employs

four freshmen, including leading scorer

Marcus Foster, in his rotation — knowswhat to expect.

“It was weird because you really can’ttalk to anybody at all,” freshman guard

Nigel Johnson said. “If you want to call a

play, you’re going to have to call a time-

out before or in the huddle because youcan’t hear anything.”

The Phog has proven to be particularlydaunting to the Wildcats in recent years.

The freshman have only been alive forone K-State victory in Lawrence — whichcame in 2006, snapping a 31-game win-ning streak for the Jayhawks in theseries.

The older players on the team havespent the time since the last game tryingto hammer in the message of the impor-tance of keeping cool under the expectedfire.

Senior guard Shane Southwell recalledhis first trip down I-70. He said no one onhis team played well.

TOPEKA — The Junc-tion City girls basketballteam started the gameagainst Highland Parkat the free throwline.

A bench violationon the home Scotssent sophomore Kea-lee Rains to the lineto shoot two for a tech-nical foul.

But once the fourth quar-ter rolled around, the BlueJays finally managed to fin-ish a game at the line — atask that proved elusive intheir early contests.

Junction City didn’t com-pletely vanquish its free-

throw demon, shooting just 50percent from the line, but theJays sank eight shots in the

fourth quarter to hold on for a38-31 win Friday night.

“What we’re trying to dois play a little smarter,”

Junction City coachNate Parks said on theradio after the game.“We were up four andwere trying to get up

about six, and withthat style of playwhere they come at usand slow it down, wewanted to make surewe had sure posses-

sions.”Junction City jumped

out to a 9-0 lead in the firstquarter before going cold.

Highland Park went on a

14-4 run to close out the first halfand finish the first half up 18-17.

“I think the style they playedwas very similarto Hays,” Parkssaid. “And whenthey slowed itdown and wecouldn’t get asmany possessionsand get up anddown the floor, itdoes slow usdown and you geta little lethargic.”

But then theBlue Jays’ seniors stepped up tothe challenge.

Senior Bre Waterman knockeddown a two to put Junction Cityup 28-26 and she and fellow seniorKori Kamm ensured the Blue Jayvictory.

No. 4 team (Hays) in thestate. Even though we cameup a point short, it washuge. We showed peoplewhat we are capable of. Itwas huge, we’re capable ofshocking somebody. DU:  What’s been the big-

 gest moment for you, athleti-cally, of your life so far? 

T:  Beating Manhattantwo years in a row in foot-ball. I play football too, sodefinitely that. And I hopeto beat them this year (inbasketball) too. I’ll do every-thing that I can. DU:  Who do you think

will win the Super Bowl and

why? 

T:  Either the 49ers ormaybe even the Panthers.The Panthers are playinggood with (Cam) Newton,but I think the 49ers aregoing to pull it off this year.

Last year, they came upshort and there was thatbad pass interference call atthe end, so they kind ofwant revenge. That could’vegone either way, but theydidn’t get the call so I’msure they’re coming backfor vengeance. DU:  What do you think

the key will be for Junction

City in the second half of the

season? 

T:  Defense. We playedgreat defense the first halfof the season, for exampleone game only giving up 15points, and a couple games,20 points. The first game

was our only bad game giv-ing up points, so we straight-ened things out after that.Executing on offense anddefense, we play defenseevery night, we just have toget better on the offensiveside. DU: What are your plans

 for next year? 

T:  Play college basket-

ball. I have JuCo offers, I

 just don’t know where I’mgoing to go yet. I’ve got to

figure it out. DU:  Where do you see

 yourself 10 years from now? 

T: I want to be a physical

trainer. That’s another

thing I have to base schooloff of, a JuCo with a good

PT school. I interned lastsemester at Geary Rehab

and I really liked it. I defi-nitely want to go that career

path. DU:  Who is your favorite

athlete? 

T: Dan Marino. I’m a bigMiami fan, even though

they’ve been strugglinglately, but Dan Marino was

a great quarterback. He seta lot of records but (the

records) have been gettingbeat now by (players like)

Drew Brees. But Marino

was a great leader. He ledthe Dolphins to success for

the most part. He didn’t wina Super Bowl, but they were

good. DU: What is your favorite

subject in school? 

T:  I like history a lot. Idon’t like government, but

when I took history mysophomore year, I liked it a

lot. I don’t do math, I don’tlike math but I like learning

about history and our coun-try.

 DU: What is your favorite

sports movie? 

T: Probably Friday Night

Lights. I’ve always wantedto know what it’s like play-

ing football somewherebesides Kansas, like in

Texas, it’s huge down there.It’s crazy how they cametogether, they weren’t a

very good team, gettingblown out in the state cham-

pionship game, and cameback and almost won it. It’s

a good story and it’s basedon a true story, I like those

Mangino backin Big 12 with

Iowa StateBY LUKE MEREDITH

Associated Press

AMES, Iowa — Afterfour years out of the spot-light, Mark Mangino isready for a new challengein the Big 12.

Fixing Iowa State’soffense figures to be one ofthe toughest tasks in theleague.

Mangino was introducedThursday as the new offen-sive coordinator for theCyclones. It is Mangino’sfirst job at a major pro-gram since he left Kansasamid allegations of playermistreatment following

the 2009 season.Mangino spent three

years away from the game,in part to support his wifethrough her successfulbattle against breast can-cer. He spent last season asan assistant at YoungstownState before being lured toIowa State — his fourth jobin the Big 8/Big 12 — bycoach Paul Rhoads.

“I’m a believer thatthings happen for a rea-son. It was meant for me tobe out for a little while,”Mangino said.

Mangino’s ugly split

from Kansas seems to beold news in Ames, wherethe reaction to his hiringhas been largely positive.The Cyclones have strug-gled to score for years, andMangino is one of the bestoffensive coaches in leaguehistory.

Mangino was Bill Sny-

der’s offensive coordinatorat Kansas State from 1991-

98, and he helped BobStoops win a nationalchampionship in his threeseasons at Oklahoma.

Mangino’s Kansasteams were often amongthe nation’s best on offense.His tenure in Lawrencewas highlighted by anOrange Bowl win follow-ing the 2007 season, whenMangino was named TheAssociated Press NationalCoach of the Year.

Mangino again defendedhis time at Kansas onThursday, saying that nei-ther he nor his coaches

“crossed the line.” He andKansas reached a $3 mil-lion settlement in 2009.

“Whether it’s percep-tion or reality, you have todeal with it,” Manginosaid. “You have to con-stantly work on being abetter player, a bettercoach, a better person.And I’m no different. Sure,there are probably somethings that I could havehandled differently attimes (at Kansas). Butoverall, I’m proud of mywork there. I stand behindit.”

Iowa State is hoping the

coach some have dubbedthe “Mangenius” canfinally solve their issueson offense. The Cycloneswere 91st nationally at just24.8 points a game in 2013,and Rhoads fired coordi-nator Courtney Messing-ham less than 24 hoursafter the season ended.

Jamar Samuels rose up for a put-back. He slammed the ball flushthrough the hoop.

Only it bounced out.“I thought it was a ghost, a sixth

man in that arena,” Southwell said.The Jayhawks started the season

with high aspirations after Kansascoach Bill Self brought in one of themost highly touted freshmen classeshe’s ever recruited.

However, since an early winagainst then No. 4 Duke, Kansas hasshown its youth, most recently los-ing to then-No. 21 San Diego State at

home.Still, the Jayhawks will hold a

significant height advantage in thefront court, boasting a seven-foottall center freshman in Joel Embi-id.

Southwell said the key will be ateam rebounding effort. Every Wild-cat will have to crash the boards,guards included.

And while the Wildcats may playwith a smaller lineup, they feel theycan use it to improve their chances.

“I think the advantage we have onthem is speed because for the mostpart, all of our guards can run,”Johnson said. “We’re all fast and weplay team defense so I think it’sgoing to be hard for them to score.They’re going to work hard foreverything they get.”

While Kansas experienced grow-ing pains in December, K-State is

surging. The Wildcats’ win at TCUon Tuesday extended their winningstreak to 10 games, the longest sincethe 2009-10 season and tied for ninthlongest in school history.

Southwell isn’t putting any stockinto the Jayhawks’ recent loss, not-ing that they’ve played a string oftough opponents.

Instead, the Wildcats are focusingon playing defense, hoping to ride itpast the initial shock the amped-upenvironment will deliver.

“As long as we’re together weshould be fine,” senior forward

Thomas Gipson said he told hisyounger teammates. “But don’tworry about the crowd, don’t worryabout the calls, we’ve just got to playhard.”

Kansas State guard Omari Lawrencekeeps control of the ball after knockingover TCU guard Charles Hill in Fort Worth,Texas, Tuesday.

fall.Despite the game tilting out

of his favor, junior forwardJordan Lawrence refused toback away from the challengeof playing against the biggerHighland Park front court.

Lawrence led the Blue Jayswith 12 points.

“I think one of the things isthat he’s got a nice touch fromeight-to-12 feet and they gavehim that shot,” Battle said.“He took what the defensegave him. I thought he playedwell within himself and Ithought he did a really nice job rebounding tonight andfinishing.”

Seniors Danny Thorntonand Semaj Johnson each fin-ished the game with eightpoints.

Thornton knocked downtwo 3-pointers as the BlueJays tried to shoot their wayback into the game.

Junction City returns homeTuesday for just the secondtime this season to take onTopeka High. The contest willnot only have bearing on Cen-tennial League standings, butalso is a preview of the BlueJays’ substate assignment.

“They’re not quite as big oras long (as Highland Park)

but they’re every bit asquick,” Battle said. “We reallyexpect to compete, we expectto win that. It’s a big game forus.”

OFFENSIVE MISCUES

Continued from Page 1B

“Bre Waterman reallystepped up for us,” Parks said.“We had some girls who were

hanging their heads and shebecame our cheerleader andgot us going. Kori Kamm, shedoes whatever it takes to win,sometimes it’s scoring, some-times it’s the little things, butshe’s really stepped up.”

Waterman scored five of herseven points in the secondhalf.

Rains led the Blue Jays with10 points, including drainingthree of four fourth quarterfreebies.

Kamm, senior Shadaja Gam-ble, junior Cassidy Meadowsand sophomore A’Kia Faineach scored four points in thegame.

Junction City received a for-tunate bounce when Highland

Park’s Sha’von Ray failed to

sink a late layup that would’ve

put the Scots back on top.

Then, the visitors closed out

the game with a 6-0 run to

avoid a collapse.

“I felt like we were in trouble

for a while and one of thethings I told the girls was if

that layup goes in at the end of

the game, that would be a whole

different ballgame,” Parks

said.

Junction City hosts Topeka

High Tuesday for the team’s

first home game in nearly a

month.

“One of the things I told the

girls is that we’ve kind of been

preparing for Topeka High

already,” Parks said. “With

what Highland Park does,

there’s nothing we can prepare

for so we’ve been using Topeka

High to try and beat Highland

Park and hopefully it works inour advantage.”

With the arctic blast

we got last week

many may think

that this is the first time

that this area has everexperienced such extreme

cold.However in the muse-

um’s scrapbook collectionthere is an article dated

Jan. 4, 1947 that reports thetemperature reached 26degrees below zero.

“This almost-unbeliev-ably cold temperature wasreached about 7 a.m. after asteady drop throughout thenight, according to L.W.Sargent, local weatherobserver.”

The Sargent family hadfor many years been thelocal weather observers.

It had started with Lin-den who was famousthroughout the state for his“goose bone” weather fore-casts.

He claimed that he couldtell the severity ofapproaching storms by the

markings on the breastbone of a freshly-butcheredgoose.

His obituary states “Thesecret to reading thesebones was learned from theIndians in the early days inJunction City.”

His son Les, also knownas L.W., was also interestedin weather patterns.

At the age of 18 Les start-ed keeping weather infor-mation.

In 1947 Les had served asJunction City’s official U.S.Weather Bureau observerfor roughly 20 years.

Les owned all of his ownequipment except for a raingauge on loan from the U.S.

Weather Bureau.Every day he would

record the wind, maximumand minimum temperature,and the precipitation,including in what form theprecipitation fell.

The article notes thatthis weather beat the previ-ous record low in recentyears of 20 below in 1943.

Near zero weather allday on Friday set the stagefor the record temperature.

The highest temperaturereading Friday afternoonwas 8 degrees Fahrenheit.

By 5 p.m. the tempera-ture had dropped to zeroand was falling fast.

At 6 p.m. “the mercury

stood at 3 below, 12 below at9 p.m., 18 below at 10:30p.m., and 24 below at 5 a.m.that morning.

The coldest measurabletemperature was 26 belowzero at 7 a.m.

The temperature slowlystarted to rise as the suncame out.

By 8:30 a.m. the tempera-ture had risen by 1 degreeand by 9:30 a.m. it was 17below zero.

Accompanying the coldwas a relatively calm daywhich mitigated the cold tosome extent.

At 8:30 a.m. it wasobserved that there was noteven enough of a breeze to

move the smoke from thechimneys.

This was observed bymany as they tried in vain tostart cars that refused tobudge in the frigid tempera-tures.

It was noted that “taxisdid a flourishing business”as they hauled passengers

to work and other errands.“Plumbers, who have

been kept on the run allweek with frozen waterpipes, had a new flood ofcalls this morning.”

Mechanics were “keptbusy thawing frozen motorcars and conditioning themfor the Arctic weather.”

Tow trucks were much inevidence around town thatday also.

Many old timers were notimpressed with the frigidtemperature as they remem-bered lows of 30 below zeroin 1911 and 1898.

The article concludes that

all main roads were open inJunction City, but the coun-ty engineer’s office reporteda few side roads were stillblocked by drifts in easternGeary County.

Some areas were clearedonly enough for a single carto pass and it would takeseveral more days beforethey would be completed.

Plow operators had beenclearing the roads up until 4a.m. and were back on the job would.

CES 2014

By The Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — After

attempts to hawk 3-D and

OLED TVs fizzled in recent

years, television manufac-

turers are taking small

steps toward making a new

technology, Ultra HD, more

viable for mainstream con-

sumers.

It’s the first TV format to

be driven by the Internet

video-streaming phenome-

non, and at the Internation-

al CES gadget show this

week, major streamingplayers Netflix and Amazon

said they’ll offer movies

and TV shows in the for-mat, and Sharp introduced

a relatively inexpensive TVwith near-Ultra HD quali-ty.

The moves are meant tocoax consumers to pedalfaster on their TV upgrade

cycles. At the moment, mostAmericans buy new TVs

about once every sevenyears. TV manufacturerswould love to create anoth-

er wave of buying like theone that sent millions ofpeople to stores a few years

ago to upgrade from stan-dard definition, tube TVs to

flat-screen HD models.

Unlike the 3-D TV trend,which quickly eroded into a

tech fad in recent years,analysts say Ultra HD mayactually catch on. With

screens that house fourtimes more pixels than reg-ular HD TVs, Ultra HD is a

simple enough upgrade togain widespread adoption

in the next few years.Aside from being visually

 jarring, 3-D required some-

times pricey special glassesand gave some people head-aches.

Because Ultra HD con-tent can be delivered over a

standard high-speed Inter-

net connection, it isn’t like-ly to get bogged down in a

format war that plaguedthe Blu-ray disc standard.

“You see it, you get it. It’s

a big, awesome picture,”said Ben Arnold, a consum-er electronics analyst at

NPD Group. “Consumerswill be interested in it as

prices come down. Consum-ers are also moving towardbigger screens. All of this is

good news for (Ultra HD).”In side-by-side compari-

sons, Ultra HD is remark-

ably crisper than HD. It dis-plays richer skin textures,

finer details and less pix-

elation. The extra resolu-tion becomes more impor-

tant as consumers spendmore money on biggerscreens that amplify imag-

es.But Ultra HD, or 4K, is in

its very early stages.

Although prototypes anddemonstration models have

been around for years, thefirst sets for consumer usedidn’t hit the market until

2012 with prices in the tensof thousands of dollars.Only about 60,000 Ultra HD

sets were sold last year inthe U.S., with 485,000 esti-

mated this year, according

to the Consumer Electron-ics Association.

Today, the lowest-pricedUltra HD TV being sold onAmazon.com is a 39-inch

model from Seiki Digital for$500.

The cheapest name-

brand manufacturer’smodel, a 58-inch screen

from Toshiba, sells for$2,750.

And LG announced this

week it would sell an UltraHD set as small as 49 inchesdiagonally, which could

bring entry level pricescloser to $2,000 for top

brands.

CHERYL JORGENSENLibrarian’s report

By The Associated Press

It’s the end of the world for Mar-vel’s Ultimate universe, but it’s abeginning, too.

Fourteen years after its creationby Marvel Entertainment as amodern, grittier and contempo-rary take on Marvel’s characters,the publisher is pushing forwardwith new efforts to reinvigorate itsuniverse where the dead remain soand disaster, discord and — ulti-mately — redemption and rebirthare among the events that keepreaders coming back issue afterissue.

What it means for characterslike Miles Morales; members of

the FF (Future Foundation, notFantastic Four); and the All-NewUltimates, including the new BlackWidow (she used to be Spider-Woman), Kitty Pryde, Bombshelland Cloak and Dagger, will unfoldbeginning in April as the events ofthe soon-to-end “Cataclysm” mini-series runs its course.

Writer Brian Michael Bendis istight-lipped about the end but saidthis week that it ends with greatcost.

“They’re able to win the day, butat great sacrifice, a sacrifice that isso huge that it changes the entirelandscape,” said Bendis. “It cre-ates a place that demands a freshstart from everyone who surveysit.”

The move is part of Marvel

Entertainment’s relaunching ofits Ultimate universe that starts inApril under the banner UltimateMarvel NOW!

Editor-in-chief Axel Alonsocalled it the opportunity to teardown the existing universe to makeit better.

“Once again, we’re destroyingsomething and building somethingnew, but there’s an end game insight,” he said of the move, notingthat Marvel’s so-called Ultimateuniverse has always been noted byreaders, writers and artists andeditors for its “elasticity” andexperimentation.

“We created the line to takechances,” he said.

“Dead is dead,” he said, so don’texpect any miraculous resurrec-tions. “The long and short of it isthis: The Ultimate (universe) ben-efits from a good, old kick in thebutt.”

It’s also a chance for other char-acters to take larger roles in placeof long-standing ones.

“If you’ve been following BrianBendis and David Marquez’s ‘Ulti-mate Comics Spider-Man, youknow that Miles Morales, has hadto grow up fast,” said editor MarkPaniccia. “In ‘All-New Ultimates,’we’ll see this eclectic group ofsuper-powered teens step up, livefast and maybe even die hard” inthe new series written by MichelFiffe and drawn by AmilcarPinna.

In Marvel’s Ultimate universe, fate looms large

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka —

Roman Catholic bishops in

Sri Lanka’s former war

zone have called for an

international war crimes

investigation into the coun-

try’s civil war including

whether government forc-

es used cluster munitions

and chemical weapons in

densely populated areas.

Rev. Rayappu Joseph and

Rev. Thomas Saun-

daranayagam made the

request during a meeting

with Stephen J. Rapp, an

ambassador-at-large withthe Office of Global Crimi-

nal Justice of the United

States on Wednesday.

Joseph told reporters

after the meeting in the

northern town of Jaffna

that civilians who survived

a bloody final stage of a

quarter-century civil war

had reported that cluster

munitions and chemical

weapons were widely used.

The war ended in 2009

with the defeat of Tamil

Tiger rebels.

The bishops asked that

the investigations also look

into allegations against the

government of deliberate

attacks on hospitals, places

of worship and the block-

ade of food and medicine

for the civilians trapped in

the fighting as a war tactic,

Joseph said.

Rapp is visiting Sri

Lanka to discuss issues of

alleged war crimes with

government and other offi-

cials and has met religious

leaders, ethnic Tamil poli-

ticians.

He is scheduled to meet

with government leaders

before leaving the island

nation on Saturday.

He has not commentedon his meetings so far.

In 2012 a United Nations

mine removal expert

reported the presence ofunexploded cluster muni-

tions in the former war

zone in northern Sri

Lanka.

That same year a medi-cal worker told The Associ-

ated Press that many of the

thousands wounded in the

government offensive had

burns consistent withthose caused by incendiary

white phosphorus bombs.

U.N. officials first report-

ed the use of cluster muni-

tions in the conflict zone inFebruary 2009, saying they

appeared to hit in an area

around a hospital.

The government howev-er has continuously deniedusing cluster munitions or

any banned weapon.

Cluster munitions arepacked with small “bomb-

lets” that scatter indis-

criminately and often harm

civilians. Those that fail to

detonate often kill civilianslong after fighting ends.

They are banned under

an international treaty

adopted by more than 60

nations that took effect inAugust 2010, after the Sri

Lankan war.

Rapp’s visit to Sri Lanka

comes amid intense inter-

national pressure on thecountry to conduct its own

investigations into the

alleged war crimes com-

mitted by both sides.The U.S. has sponsored

two resolutions at the Unit-

ed Nations Human Rights

Council urging a crediblelocal investigation. The

rights council is expected

to review Sri Lanka’s prog-

ress at its sessions in

March.U.N. rights chief Navi

Pillay has said she will rec-

ommend that the council

establish its own probe if

Sri Lanka fails to showprogress by March.

Meanwhile a group of

Sri Lankan government

supporters protested

Thursday against Rapp’svisit accusing America of

ignoring its own human

rights violations.

The banner-carryingprotesters accused the U.S.of trying to victimize Sri

Lanka for defeating the

Tamil Tigers, who are des-ignated as a terrorist orga-

nization by the U.S., Euro-

pean Union and others.

They also said the U.S. was

using a double standard byignoring its own human

rights violation.

A U.N report says as

many as 40,000 ethnic

Tamil civilians may havebeen killed in the last few

months of the fighting,

mostly by government

troops.

Abuse allegationsagainst the rebels include

holding civilians as human

shields, killing those who

tried to flee their controland recruiting child sol-diers.

Catholic bishops want probe on cluster munitions

CHICAGO — The

Roman Catholic Archdio-

cese of Chicagoannounced it may close

up to six schools at the

end of the academic year

and lay off some staff

because of funding short-falls.

Catholic schools super-

intendent Sister MaryPaul McCaughey on

Thursday refused toname the schools that

will close.

McCaughey told

WMAQ-TV “there is a lot

of hurt” among the fami-lies with children attend-

ing the schools.

She said even if the

schools have been on awatch list, learning they

will close “is always a

surprise.”

Officials of Our Lady

of Victory School in Chi-cago say they were noti-

fied the school will be

closed unless it can elimi-

nate the need for nearly

$400,000 in yearly grantsfrom the archdiocese.

Last year, a funding

deficit forced the closing

of five Catholic schools.

HOME & LIVING6C The Daily Union. Saturday, Jan. 11, 2014

It may surprise somepeople that Bald Eaglesare now considered a

year-round resident of ourarea.

This past year we hadfour active eagle nestsaround Milford Lake andalong the Kansas River.

While wintertime cancertainly bring a lot moreeagles to the area, don’t besurprised to see them year-round.

Bald Eagles are the post-er child of success for theEndangered Species Act.

By the 1950s and early1960s, Bald Eagle numbersin the lower 48 had droppedso low that seeing any eaglewas cause for excitement.

But with reductions inindustrial pollution in riv-ers, changes in the pesti-cides that were being usedand some additional protec-

tion offered by the endan-

gered species act, by the

late 1970s, Bald Eagle num-

bers started to rebound.

In the early 1980s, you

could find a few eagles

around the lake during the

winter, sometimes as many

as a dozen.By the late 1980s I can

remember one grand win-

ter morning when a quick

tour around the lake turned

up 36.

On a recent chilly day, I

counted over 140 eagles

standing on the ice scat-

tered across the main body

of the lake. In the late 1980s,the first Bald Eagles in overa century nested in Kan-sas.

In recent years we haveroutinely seen over 50 suc-cessful Bald Eagle nests inKansas and apparent nest-ing activity has beenobserved in nearly 100 loca-tions around the state. So tosay that Bald Eagles havemade a comeback is anunderstatement.

Bald Eagle numbers soarin the winter as birds thatnest further north movesouth.

Bald Eagles eat primarilyfish and waterfowl but alsohave no qualms about scav-enging on roadkill as well.

As ducks and geese movesouth, and open water icesover, they keep movingsouth. But migration takesa lot of energy so they go

only as far as they need toto be near open water.

Last winter was mild.It was so mild that many

reservoirs and rivers inNebraska and Iowa neverfroze over and the numberof Bald Eagles wintering inKansas was quite low.

Since this year has beena much colder year, BaldEagle numbers have beenquite high.

They tend to spend nightsin large communal roostsin large trees near the riv-ers.

Two such roosts areknown and monitored inour area and the middle oflast week, each roost washosting well over 100 eagleseach.

Unfortunately, the bittercold weather has frozenover all of Milford Lake andnumbers have dropped as

these birds headed furthersouth.

One point of confusionthat we see each year is dif-ferentiating between BaldEagles and Golden Eagles.

Golden Eagles are birdsof the prairies and are rarearound here, and rarelyhang around lakes and riv-ers.

They are more likely tobe found in the westernthird of Kansas.

Bald Eagles don’t gettheir distinctive white headand tail until they are aboutfour years old.

Until then they are amottled brown and white.

If there are any whitefeathers in the chest andbelly region of an eagle, itis a Bald Eagle.

Essentially, if you see aneagle around Milford Lakeor the area rivers, just

assume that it is a Bald

Eagle.

Next Saturday, Jan. 18,

the annual Eagle Days will

be held at the Milford

Nature Center.

There will be programs

through the day from 9:30

a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with guid-

ed bus trips at 10 - 11 a.m.

and noon 1, 2 and 3:30 p.m.,

leaving from the Nature

Center.

All events are free and

open to the public and pro-

vide a great opportunity to

learn more about these

awesome birds and see

them in the wild.

Plan to come on out and

enjoy the day.

I

know the weather issupposed to be stellarthis weekend, but that

doesn’t mean it will be likethat for long.

As a result we are oftenanchored to the warmth ofour homes as we see theeffects of cold weather,wind, and snow blowaround outside.

A great alternative toclutching the remote andplopping down in front ofthe TV is to grab a book andcurl up with a warm blan-ket.

Adults and children alikebenefit greatly from mak-ing time for reading in theirdaily lives.

1. They read better, writebetter and maintain a high-er level of concentration.

2. It keeps the mind sharpand helps them processnew information morequickly.

3. Children will have abetter chance for a morefulfilling adult life if theyhave established good read-ing patterns and skills.

4. Reading expands inter-est areas and makes indi-viduals more curious aboutlearning more.

5. Reading is a fundamen-tal skill needed to functionmore successfully at homeand in the workplace.

We can plant the seeds ofinterest in reading at ayoung age.

Parents, grandparents,and caregivers can all con-tribute to planting theseseeds in children.

It’s important that chil-dren have a good start withreading from an early ageand have opportunities topractice reading.

To do well in school, chil-dren need to be good read-ers. Schools shouldn’t andcan’t take on this responsi-bility all by themselves.

Family members have an

important role to play.Reading with children

helps them to do better inschool and promotes suc-cess throughout life.

Most of us know how toread to a child and that’simportant, but it is impor-tant to go one step furtherand learn how to read witha child.

Children who are learn-ing to read need lots ofopportunities to practice,and they need people toread with them.

You can be a child’s read-ing partner.

Reading with a child iscalled “shared reading,”because both you and thechild are participating inthe reading experience.

It doesn’t take a lot oftime, it’s easy to do, andboth you and the child will

likely experience greatersatisfaction and enjoy-ment.

What are some of thethings you need to thinkabout to make this sharedreading time both fun andeffective?

• Child-centered — Set

aside time where you canfocus on the child alone,without distractions.

• Sensitive and respectful

 — If the child doesn’t like a

particular book or seemsuncomfortable with it, thenswitch to another book.

• Realistic — Don’t expect

too much too soon.• Enthusiastic — When

you share your love of read-

ing with a child, yourenthusiasm is contagious.• Encouraging — Help

the child recognize evensmall successes.

• Commitment — Let the

child know that sharedreading is important to youand then do it regularly.

Shared readingstrategies

It’s important to havefun and easy shared read-ing strategies that you canuse with the child. This liststarts with strategies foryounger, inexperiencedreaders and works towardindependent solo reading:

• Picture Reading — Ask

questions about the pic-tures or have the child tella story just by looking atthe pictures. Books withlots of pictures such as“The Very Hungry Cater-

pillar” are good for thisstrategy.

• Sighting — Before read-ing a page or passage, askthe child to find punctua-tion marks, certain words,specific letters, or the small-est or largest word.

• Discovery Reading —

Guide the child through afamiliar book, such as OldMacDonald, with the childfilling in repeated phrases.

• Echo Reading — Read a

passage and have the childread it back to you.

• Unison Reading — Both

you and the child read thesame passage aloud at thesame time.

• Whisper Reading —

Read very quietly into yourchild’s ear while the childreads aloud.

• Stop and Go Reading —

You and the child take turnsreading, and the child

chooses a signal to showthat it’s time to switch.

• Solo Reading — the

child reads completelyindependently to you.

Here are some additional

suggestions to help thechild become a better read-er:

• Simply talk with the

child.• Read to and with the

child.• Help the child read

solo.• Actually create books

that include artwork andwriting with the child.

• Have lots of books avail-able.

• Let the child see YOU

reading.• Most importantly,

NEW YORK — Jason Aldean is headingto the centerfield.The country star is partnering with

Major League Baseball to launch a 50-date

tour this spring that will include stops atNationals Park in Washington, D.C., and

Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. The

“Burn It Down Tour” will kick off May 1 inRoanoke, Va.

“For me, it doesn’t seem like that long

ago we were playing little clubs,” the36-year-old said in an interview Thursday

at the MLB offices in New York City. “So, to

go from playing small bars and clubs thatweren’t even sold out to now going in and

selling out these stadiums ... to me, it’spretty overwhelming sometimes, but I love

it.”

Aldean, who will also play arenas on thetour, will visit stadiums in Pittsburgh and

Cincinnati. More shows will be announced

at a later date.The stadium stage isn’t new for Aldean:

He played Fenway Park in Boston and the

University of Georgia’s Sanford Stadiumlast year.

“When you play a stadium, you attack it

the way you attack any other show. Youstill want to give people the best show you

can give them,” he said.Aldean, who released his debut in 2005,

is riding high off the success of 2010’s tri-ple platinum “My Kinda Party” and 2012’s

platinum “Night Train.”“Night Train,” his fifth album, is nomi-

nated for best country album at the Gram-my Awards on Jan. 26. The record will

battle efforts from Taylor Swift, BlakeShelton, Tim McGraw and newcomerKasey Musgraves.

“You look at all the other artists thatcould have been (nominated) and you’reone of a handful — especially me for an

album (award) because that’s somethingthat I put a lot of time into,” he said. “If wewin it, we do, if we don’t, we don’t. That’s

one thing I’ve tried not to worry aboutover the years.”

He said if he does win the prize, he’ll

take it on the road for his stadium tour.Florida Georgia Line, the country duo

that had one of last year’s top songs withthe Nelly-assisted remix of “Cruise,” will join Aldean on the road. Tyler Farr willalso open for Aldean, and Miranda Lam-bert will play select dates.

“She puts on a great show. I was alwayslike, ‘If I was a female act, that’s what Iwould do,”’ Aldean said. “She just tears itup.”
