Colin McCarty is lucky to be alive.

On Aug. 10, the last thing he remembers before blacking out was being on the ground at the intersection of Sixth and Jackson streets, attempt-ing to stand up and face the man who seconds ear-lier had sliced open his abdomen and neck.

But Colin couldn’t stand.

Colin’s friend, Erick Rollins, tackled the assail-ant before more damage could be done.

“Erick noticed some-thing was wrong and he jumped on the guy before he came back at me and put him in a headlock and held him on the ground,” Colin said. “Then it final-ly dawned on me, you know, why is my leg not working? I looked down and I was holding my intestines in my left hand. From that point, I went into shock and I passed out.”

Colin, 20, of Sierra Vista, Ariz., was one of four people stabbed in the early morning hours of Aug. 10 near Sixth and Jackson streets in Junc-tion City.

Without the help of a few strangers, what seemed like an almost immediate response from a Junction City police offi-cer and about a four-min-ute wait for the paramed-ics to arrive, Colin proba-bly wouldn’t be home right now healing in Ari-zona.

Colin’s older brother,

Nathaniel McCarty, recently sent an email to Junction City officials to tell them of Colin’s recov-ery and to thank the police officers and EMTs who responded to the call that night.

Nathaniel, who also lives in Sierra Vista, is a former firefighter and currently is an officer for homeland security.

“It’s not only hard for the people that are there — the victims and the wit-nesses — but it’s also hard for the fire guys and the police,” he said in a phone interview. “So, the reason I sent the email was just to let them know how he was doing, how important it was for them to be there that night. Because they truly stepped in and were able to provide the aid that did save his life, I mean, kept him alive — assisted by the two Kansas guards who stopped, the gentle-man who originally jumped in named Andrew Trammel and my broth-er’s good friend, Erick Rollins.”

Trammel, 28, of St. Louis, and Rollins, 22, a Fort Riley soldier, suf-fered cuts and stab wounds in the incident. Priscilla Mora, 25, of Junction City also was injured.

Special to The Daily Union

Gov. Sam Brownback is scheduled to speak this week about business growth dur-ing a conference for minority and women professionals at the Geary County Conven-tion Center.

The Kansas African Amer-ican Affairs Commission (KAAAC) in conjunction with the Geary County Com-

mission Economic Access and Opportunity Summit, is hosting Operation All Access on Wednesday and Thurs-day.

Its purpose is to bring minority- and women-owned business professionals together to discuss improv-ing their businesses in Kan-sas.

Conference co-chair Larry

Hicks is looking forward to the conference.

“I’m very hopeful that the Governor’s message in regard to economic expan-sion and development in the state of Kansas will be received well by all business-es and note how businesses of all persuasions will be included in that growth and expansion,” Hicks said.

It’s scheduled to begin 7 p.m. Wednesday with a wel-come reception, by invitation only. On Thursday, it’ll con-tinue with a registration and breakfast buffet at 7:30 a.m. The last session is scheduled for 4 p.m.

With a government shut-down looming earlier in the day Monday, Geary County Commissioners weighed in on the issue.

They discussed the mat-ter which circles around the Affordable Care Act and the U.S. Congress’ inability

to compromise. “I think they’ll come to

some compromise sooner or later,” Commission Chair Ben Bennett said.

Commissioners received a request from R. Alan Snodgrass, a western Kan-san from the town of Jet-more. It calls for a Constitu-tional Amendment for a balanced budget to the U.S. Constitution.

“This Resolution is an important part of our future,” Snodgrass stated in the letter. “It is an impor-tant part to protect the future of our children and grandchil-dren.”

According to Snodgrass, 18 counties have joined the cam-paign. No action was taken by commissioners, but a motion was approved to consider the

WASHINGTON — For the first time in nearly two decades, the federal govern-ment staggered into a partial shutdown Monday at midnight after congressional Republicans stubbornly demanded chang-es in the nation’s health care law as the price for essential federal funding and President Barack Obama and Democrats

adamantly refused.As Congress gridlocked, Obama said a

“shutdown will have a very real economic impact on real people, right away,” with hundreds of thousands of federal workers furloughed and veterans’ centers, national parks, most of the space agency and other government operations shuttered.

He laid the blame at the feet of House Republicans, whom he accused of seeking

FORT RILEY — Mixed martial artist, NFL player and Heisman Trophy win-ner Herschel Walker vis-ited Fort Riley Sept. 25 to spread his message of resiliency and interact with soldiers.

“I love to be around mil-itary servicemen and women and to let them know they are appreciat-ed,” Walker said.

During his visit, Walker captivated his audience with stories about over-coming a severe stutter-ing problem as a child, dealing with depression and being diagnosed with dissociative identity dis-order, also known as mul-tiple personality disorder.

Walker related to sol-diers the importance of asking for help in troubled times. “I know what it’s like to be in a dark place when you feel like nothing can get better,” he said.

Walker shared stories of his athletic career and how he came to the deci-sion to attend the Univer-sity of Georgia.

“I flipped a coin,” Walk-er said. “It was between Georgia and USC, and Georgia won three out of five.”

He also revealed sports was not his first career aspiration. “I wanted to join the Marines.” Several of Walker’s uncles were Marines and he was always impressed with the way they carried them-selves.

After speaking to audi-ences at the Fort Riley Warrior Transition Bat-talion and at Barlow The-ater, Walker mingled with soldiers, signed auto-graphs and took pictures with every person who came to see him. Soldiers enjoyed his motivational message and appreciated that someone of Walker’s stature would give up his time for them.

“He showed me you can

go through anything and make it out OK,” Pvt. Riley J Wilson, 1st Battal-ion, 7th Field Artillery Regiment, 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, said.

Ashley Shellito came to Barlow Theater after learning her husband could not make it to meet one of his heroes.

“I wanted to make sure he at least got an auto-graph,” she said.

As it turned out, her

husband made it just in time.

“It’s a real honor to have met him,” Spc. Tay-lor Shellito, Company D, 1st Battalion, 28th Infan-try Regiment, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 1st Inf. Div., said.

Fort Riley was Walker’s 18th visit to a military installation this year. He has visited more than 70 installations around the world. His next stop is Fort Hood, Texas.

FORT RILEY — Con-struction of the round-about at Trooper Drive and Rifle Range Road will enter its third and final phase mid-October.

During Phase Two, which began in July and continues through mid-October, the elevation was adjusted to allow for better visibility while driving.

“The line of sights are a lot better than what they used to be,” said David Scruggs, chief, Engineer-ing Services Division, Directorate of Public Works.

Concrete driving lanes also were poured, and asphalt lanes will be added shortly, according to Chuck Smith, chief, Con-tract Management Branch, DPW.

Light-emitting diode, or LED, lighting for the roundabout also will be installed during Phase Two. LED lighting con-sumes a fraction of the electricity that high-pres-sure sodium lights con-sume, which are often used in streetlights. LED lights also appear bright-er.

“The LED lights are more of a pure white light, so you get very good color rendition,” Scruggs said. “It’ll be a lot brighter. Your eye will pick up that wave-length of light a lot better than it will the high-pres-sure sodium.”

By the end of Phase Two, the roundabout itself will be complete and open to traffic.

Drivers should be aware of traffic pattern changes expected in October.

Ample signage will be in place to alert drivers to changes in flow and speed limit, according to Robert Norick, civil engineer, Engineering Services Divi-sion, DPW.

The 27th annual Fall Ranch Rodeo has been scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 6, 1 p.m., at the Morris County Youth Rodeo Asso-ciation (MCYRA) arena, located 1½ miles east of Council Grove on High-way 56.

Set for Sunday’s West-ern action matinee will be steer branding, team pen-ning, double mugging and team roping.

“Four-member cowboy teams representing a dozen Flint Hills ranches will be competing for event and overall champi-onship recognition,” Wil-son pointed out.

Two generals forced to retire for Afghan

breachWASHINGTON — In a

rare move, the top Marine on Monday forced two gen-erals into retirement after concluding they should be held to account for failing to secure a base in Afghani-stan on which two Marines were killed by Taliban attackers a year ago.

Gen. James Amos, the commandant of the Marine Corps, said in announcing his decision that Maj. Gen. Charles M. Gurganus and Maj. Gen. Gregg A. Sturde-vant “did not take adequate force protection measures” at Camp Bastion, an air-field in southwestern Afghanistan that was the Taliban target.

The Sept. 14, 2012 attack caught the Marines by sur-prise and resulted in the deaths of Lt. Col. Christo-pher K. Raible and Sgt. Bradley W. Atwell. Six Marine Harrier fighter jets were destroyed by the attackers and others were badly damaged.

Gurganus, who was the top American commander

in that region of Afghani-stan, did not order a formal investigation after the attack. In June, Amos asked U.S. Central Command to investigate, and he said he decided to take action against the two generals after reviewing the results of that investigation.

“While I am mindful of the degree of difficulty the Marines in Afghanistan faced in accomplishing a demanding combat mission with a rapidly declining force, my duty requires me to remain true to the time-less axioms related relating to command responsibility and accountability,” Amos said.

Sturdevant was in charge of Marine aviation in that region of Afghanistan.

Amos asked the two gen-erals to retire and they agreed.

Gurganus, who had referred to the Taliban’s penetration of Camp Bas-tion’s supposedly secure perimeter as a “lucky break,” had been nominat-ed for promotion to three-star rank; that nomination had been put on hold dur-ing the investigation. He will retire as a two-star.

On Monday, after Amos’s announcement, Gurganus issued a brief statement

saying he felt privileged to have served in the Marine Corps for 37 years. “I will treasure that forever. I have complete trust and confi-dence in the leadership of our Corps and fully respect the decision of our Com-mandant.”

A request for comment from Sturdevant was not immediately answered.

Guinea opposition decries ‘appalling’

poll fraudCONAKRY, Guinea —

Guinea’s opposition says “appalling” fraud commit-ted during the West African nation’s legislative elec-tions will make it difficult to accept the results.

Opposition politician Sidya Toure said Monday night that Saturday’s vote was marred by ballot-stuff-ing, vote-tampering and the creation of more than 50 fake polling stations.

He was speaking after a meeting attended by oppo-sition leaders including Cellou Dalein Diallo, who came in second in Guinea’s first democratic presiden-tial election in 2010.

The legislative vote was intended to complete Guin-ea’s transition to democra-

cy after decades of dictator-ship and strongman rule.

However, the vote was delayed by nearly two years and the pre-election period was marred by violent pro-tests.

The announcement of partial results by the elec-toral commission, expected Monday night, was delayed after officials said the spokesman had fallen ill.

Kansas taxes short of expectations in

past 3 monthsTOPEKA — A new report

says Kansas collected slightly less in taxes than expected in the first quar-ter of the fiscal year, but officials believe the short-fall may actually be a posi-tive economic sign.

The Department of Reve-nue reported Monday the state collected $1.37 billion in taxes from July through September, about $8.5 mil-lion below expectations.

Corporate income tax collections during those three months fell nearly 12 percent short of projec-tions. The state had expect-ed to take in $97 million and instead collected less than $86 million.

Robert E. “Bob” Ritter, 88, of Topeka, formerly of Junction City, died Sept. 30, 2013 at Atria Hearthstone in Topeka. Bob was born Sept. 19, 1925 on a rural Junction City farm during the dust bowl and depression , the son of Emil and Mildred Duffy Ritter.

He attended Spring Valley Rural School and graduated from Junction City High School in 1942. He was a veteran of the United States Marine Corp., serving in World War II, and later attended Kansas State University, earning an Engineering degree and a commission in the United States Air Force after graduating in 1952.

Employed by ExxonMobil for 33 years, Bob worked in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, and Alabama as a licensed professional engineer. In 1968, Bob and family were assigned overseas, initiating offshore petroleum operations and production in Australia, North Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia, and Egypt, retiring as a board member of Esso Suez.

Returning to Junction City in 1985, he was elected to the city commission and served three terms as mayor. Bob was a licensed aircraft pilot, and his principle inter-ests were as an artist and his extensive Jazz record col-

lection. Bob was a member of the Zion United Church of

Christ, and a former member of the Egyptian-American Chamber of Commerce.

Bob married Phyllis Vawn Caley on Jan. 25, 1952 in Junction City. She survives. Other survivors include: a son, Robert E. Ritter II, New Orleans, La., two daughters, Sue Ferguson, Topeka, and Sally Bagheri, Placentia, Calif.; a sister, Mary Thompson, Gladstone, Mo.; and five grandchildren.

Another viewThe Obamacare

rolloutThe following editorial appeared in the

Los Angeles Times on Monday, Sept. 30:

State insurance-buying exchanges — one of the centerpieces of President Obama’s controver-sial 2010 healthcare law — begin their first

open enrollment period today, an event that both supporters and opponents have been eagerly antic-ipating practically since the legislation was signed three years ago.

For the first time, low- and moderate-income Americans who don’t have health benefits at work will be able to sign up for comprehensive coverage at a discount, thanks to taxpayer subsidies that offset much of the costs.

The exchanges are opening their doors as federal and state governments are still struggling to imple-ment some important elements of the Patient Pro-tection and Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare.

Some requirements, such as the mandate on larger employers to provide affordable health ben-efits, have been postponed. Outside California, some exchanges aren’t yet ready to offer certain features, such as online sign-ups. And in several red states, elected officials are actively undermin-ing the exchanges and their uninsured constitu-ents’ ability to obtain coverage.

Add to that the misguided effort by congressio-nal Republicans last week to “defund Obamacare,” and you have a lot of drama surrounding the exchanges’ debut. Still, the test of the exchanges’ viability — and the sustainability of the Affordable Care Act — isn’t what happens on Day One. It’s whether they attract a broad and deep pool of the previously uninsured by the time the enrollment period ends March 31.

The idea of an insurance exchange has broad bipartisan support because the concept is elegantly simple: Give people an easy way to compare and sign up for insurers’ offerings and that will increase competition, hold down premiums and expand cov-erage.

The technical challenges are significant, howev-er, because the exchanges’ computer systems have to inter-operate with those of federal, state and county governments and the health plans that are offering coverage.

State officials and health plan executives say they’re confident that Covered California, the state’s exchange, is ready to handle the calls and Web traffic it is expected to receive on opening day. But that’s partly because most buyers are likely to enroll closer to Jan. 1, when the coverage becomes effective. Some applicants will run into problems regardless — that’s inevitable on a venture of this scale. It’s impossible to know how manageable those problems will be until people start applying.

Although some troubling glitches have surfaced, the delays and shortcomings experienced so far have been overblown. The exchanges will not invite insurance fraud on a grand scale, as some have suggested, nor will they will lead employers to stop offering health benefits en masse.

The real challenge for Covered California and its counterparts will be getting their message out to the uninsured, then persuading younger, healthier individuals to pay for coverage that they have been content to live without until now.

Although insurers aren’t charging as much as federal budget analysts predicted, the price of cov-erage will go up for many of the healthy people insurers have been eager to have as customers, while dropping for many of the ailing and higher-risk people insurers have been reluctant to cover.

That’s because the law requires insurers to cover all applicants, ignore preexisting conditions and charge older customers no more than three times as much as they do younger ones. It also requires adult Americans to carry coverage, although the penalty for going uninsured will likely be smaller than the premiums.

The subsidies will make a huge difference in the cost of coverage for many low- and moderate-income Americans. Yet a new survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that almost three-fourths of eligible Californians were unaware of the aid or assumed (wrongly) that they were ineligible.

That lack of awareness is one hurdle. Another is the relentless invective about Obamacare that’s reducing support for the law among the people who have the most to gain from it.

But the exchanges have started telling the other side of the story, and their outreach begins in ear-nest Tuesday. Rather than getting caught up in the overheated rhetoric, consumers should explore Covered California’s offerings and measure the costs and benefits of the law for themselves.

Budget problems in state departmentsWell, it was just — remember

that day — Dec. 10, 2012, that Gov. Sam Brownback said out

loud in public for the first time that he would propose a two-year budget for the state of Kansas?

It was a new wrinkle for a relatively new governor, halfway into his term, and nobody was very sure how it would turn out.

So most state agencies used to look-ing into the future one fiscal year at a time just asked for the same amount of money in Fiscal Year 2015 (which starts July 1, 2014) that they did for Fiscal Year 2014 (which began July 1 of this year). Oh, they added a dab more for their pension payments which were already scheduled, but it was about static otherwise.

Most agencies, of course, were used to fighting out the budget battle one year at a time, and rarely started think-ing about the following year until the current budget was approved by law-makers and the governor.

That two-year clock started July 1, 2013, and now, well at least three major agencies see trouble if the second-year budget touch-up during the 2014 legis-lative session doesn’t go their way.

Supreme Court Chief Justice Lawton Nuss has already talked about the pos-sibility that the courts (that’s the

employees, not judges, of course) may have to close down for as many as seven weeks next year if the Judicial Branch doesn’t get at least $8.5 million more from the Legislature for Fiscal Year 2015.

And Brownback, recall, line-item vetoed every dime of the Fiscal Year 2015 budget for the Department of Cor-rections because he deemed the fund-ing level inadequate. The concept? Zero-out funding for Fiscal Year 2015, and lawmakers will have to pay atten-tion or a lot of criminals get out of jail free.

And, the Kansas Regents, on behalf of higher/technical education, want another $30 million at least, just to keep things going.

This touch-up in the second year of a two-year budget cycle? It just might be interesting.

Do agencies lobby to keep what they got? Do they think up another program

or two for a few hundred thousand dol-lars just to show that the agency is doing vital work for the state? Or, do they just stay out of the Statehouse?

Yes, already there is halltalk about just what’s going to happen, how to get the governor to suggest in his not-quite-a-budget — more a budget touch-up — address to lawmakers in January that agencies get a few more bucks for the upcoming fiscal year.

Oh, and don’t forget that with only a handful of agencies likely to be in line for more money ... there is more time for idle lawmakers to see whether those out-of-the-spotlight agencies actually need what was approved for them last year.

This generally slow time in the State-house before the session starts? Well, it’s not slow out in the agencies ... where they’re figuring what strategy will work best for them.

We’ll find out in January ...

The American DreamBy Bryan Golden

Special to The Daily Union

The American Dream is freedom. Freedom from oppression, tyr-anny, and subjugation. Freedom

from dictatorial individuals and gov-ernment. Freedom to control your des-tiny. Freedom to benefit from your hard work and creativity. Freedom to succeed or fail. Freedom to determine your level of prosperity.

The American Dream was estab-lished on the principle that, for the first time in human history, a country was established with a government designed to be a servant of the people. The American Dream is one of self-suffi-ciency, not government dependence and control.

The American Dream cultivates the limitless power of the individual to build, create, discover, invent, and innovate. The American Dream is the pioneer spirit that motivates people to succeed against all odds in order to do what has never been done before.

Prior to America’s founding, coun-tries around the world had been so oppressed by totalitarian regimes that individual freedom was an unknown concept. One’s position in life was determined by those in power. There was no hope of a better existence. An individual had no control over his des-tiny no matter how hard he worked. The position someone was born into was where they remained for life. The American Dream recognized the equal-ity of each person as being an inalien-able right. It didn’t matter who you were or where you started, you could

go anywhere.The American Dream is simple. It

puts the destiny of every individual into their own hands. Each person is free to benefit directly from their efforts. The American Dream taps into the essence of human nature; when people have the freedom to determine their own destiny, productivity flour-ishes.

The American Dream unleashed the power of the individual as never before. In less than 200 years from our found-ing, America had surpassed all other nations in wealth, production, and innovation. Americans have created and maintained the highest standard of living ever known.

The American Dream attracts people from every other country because of its unparalleled liberty. The American Dream is one of equal opportunity, not equal outcomes. The regimes people escaped from all proved that the only outcome that can be guaranteed is the equal distribution of misery.

Every American benefits from The American Dream. Success has a posi-tive impact on all. It creates a vibrant, growing society filled with opportuni-ty. People are willing to work hard when they are free to benefit from their efforts and able to retain the fruits of their labor.

Nothing is better than The American Dream where each individual has the right and freedom to determine their own life. What is the alternative? Is it being told what you can and cannot do? Is it having some person or govern-ment deciding what is fair for you to have?

There are those who don’t like The American Dream. The reasons are many: greed, power, control, or the destruction of our country. Regardless of their motives, the result if they are successful is the same; the loss of free-dom and the inability to control your life and destiny.

Although it’s difficult to believe that anyone could be opposed to liberty, both history and current events clearly demonstrate that those who want to destroy The American Dream exist and are determined to subvert your free-dom.

The ever present threat to The Amer-ican Dream is people who believe the government should control you, dictate how you live, and determine what is permitted. These power hungry author-itarians seek to enrich themselves by creating laws designed to confiscate the results of your hard work. The American Dream attracts vermin who view government as an opportunity to enrich themselves by confiscating wealth from others. The success of the productive attracts economic para-sites.

The American Dream requires your constant care, vigilance, and support to keep it alive. Freedom is your right, but it isn’t free. Take it for granted, and it will vanish. No one has the right to steal your American Dream. Stand up for liberty and reject anyone who wants to take it from you. You are The Ameri-can Dream.

News from around KansasKansas City team claims

laser-powered drone flight record

KANSAS CITY — A team of Kansas City robotics enthusiasts kept a toy helicopter equipped with solar panels airborne for more than 24 hours this weekend by using a laser instead of the sun.

Brian Turner of the KC Space Pirates said their accomplishment doubled the previous record for laser-powered flight, The Kansas City Star reports.

More importantly, it showed that the concept works reliably.

Someday, laser-powered drones may serve as airborne cell towers or deliver refrigerated vaccines to remote locations. Lasers could recharge satellites’ batteries or harvest solar power generated on satel-lites and deliver them to Earth.

The Space Pirates’ laser-powered craft, however, was more like the Wright broth-ers’ contraption than a Boeing 747.

“It started out life as a $300 toy called an AR Drone,” he said. “We made some modi-fications.”

They hung solar panels below the four-rotor copter. The panels absorbed energy from a 500-watt laser beamed at it from about 90 feet away and kept the copter’s five-minute batteries charged all day.

The laser’s beam was invisible, given that it was infrared light below the wave-lengths the human eye can see. But it was many times more powerful than lasers that could harm a person’s vision.

That’s why, all weekend, someone always stood ready to hit the emergency stop but-ton. And another team member was charged with making sure the stop-button sentry stayed awake.

“We’re concerned about reflections,” said Turner, sporting infrared-blocking eyewear over his glasses.

For example, the back of the solar panel beneath the copter was reflective. If the mechanical bird had unexpectedly turned around, it would have randomly scattered the powerful laser.

Luckily, that didn’t happen. But plenty did on the way to the 24-hour flight.

Setup had begun early Friday evening inside the Vox Theatre in Kansas City, Kan. The copter floated about 7 feet in the air above a large white platform. An on-board camera and a computer program kept the vehicle stationary except for a slight sway-ing.

The invisible laser shot across the long hall, striking the solar panel and keeping the batteries charged and the vehicle aloft.

A second green laser also hit the panel so team members could see easily that the power-providing invisible light was on tar-get.

An hour into the run, however, the laser slid off target, having been shaken loose on the way to the theater. The battery ran low and the copter touched down.

Two more hours of flight were wasted when air gusts from opening a door sent the drone off its target. It crashed into a nearby screen, and three of the 24 solar cells on the panel broke.

Repairs and adjustments took about half a day. The next flight lasted five hours until the team accidentally disrupted communi-cations between the base computer and the copter. It touched down before anyone could grab the manual control, a Logi-tech game controller.

Finally, the record flight began Saturday afternoon, and the record fell around 4 a.m. Sunday. The team stayed another 13 hours to double the old mark.

The whole weekend was broadcast live online and recorded with time clocks run-ning. Both were offered as evidence of the accomplishment, though, according to Turner, no organization officially recog-nized the achievement or that of the previ-ous record holders.

“We just basically believe them,” he said.

Lake searched amid Kansas man’s death investigation

TOPEKA — Divers are searching a north-east Kansas lake as part of the investiga-tion into the 2012 shooting death of a devel-oper.

Officers investigating the death of 39-year-old Corey Michael Brown retrieved several items by noon Monday from Lake Shawnee. The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that the retrieved items included lawn chairs, fishing poles, old bottles and cans.

Forty-year-old Monroe E. Lockhart is charged with first-degree murder in the death of his friend and business partner. Lockhart also faces a felony arson charge in Shawnee County District Court.

Lockhart is already incarcerated for other crimes. Earlier this year, he was sen-tenced to serve nearly 10 years in prison in connection with a November 2011 home invasion.

The dive team comes from Douglas County. It was requested by the Topeka Police Department.

Ex-Kansas Water Office chief paroled after 10 years

TOPEKA — A former Kansas official has been paroled after serving more than 10 years for kidnapping, burglary and sod-omy.

Sixty-six-year-old Alan LeDoux, who headed the Kansas Water Office, was sen-tenced in 2003 for breaking into the Topeka home of one of his wife’s relatives and attacking the woman.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports LeDoux was released on parole Friday under supervision in Jackson County.

The Holton resident had pleaded guilty to the charges stemming from the 2002 attack. He was sentenced to 12 years and three months and entered prison in June 2003.

LeDoux was director of the state’s water policy agency from 1995 until he was placed on leave following his 2002 arrest. He had also been a top aide to former Republican governors Bill Graves and Mike Hayden.

Kansas car stop leads to kidnapping discovery

TOPEKA — Two people are in custody after Kansas Highway Patrol officers stopped a car Sunday evening near Kansas City, Kan., only to discover two more peo-ple locked in the vehicle’s trunk.

Topeka police said Monday that the two people in the trunk are believed to be two victims who were taken Sunday evening during a carjacking in Topeka.

Spokeswoman Kristen Veverka says in a statement that Topeka officers were sent to Kansas City to continue their investiga-tion.

Messages left for Topeka police weren’t immediately returned.

The two people who were arrested were being held in Kansas City. The initially fled and foot and were caught by law enforcement officials in the area.

A Junction City man died of serious burn inju-ries he suffered in a house fire at 508 Sheridan Drive Friday night.

The Junction City Fire Department responded to the fire at about 9:15 p.m. Friday.

On Monday, Wally Rob-erts of the Kansas State Fire Marshal’s Office said Edmund Caldwell died of the injuries he suffered in what’s been ruled an acci-dental fire.

Roberts said the fire originated from the improper disposal of smok-ing materials in a kitchen

trash can.As crews arrived at the

scene Friday night, they reported seeing light smoke showing from the home, a fire department report released Saturday morning stated.

Crews were told neigh-bors had reported the fire and attempted to put out the fire with an extinguish-er before firefighters arrived.

Firefighters then began to combat the blaze and conduct a search for people inside the house.

Crews quickly contained the fire in the kitchen. They then found Caldwell unconscious in the living room area. He was not breathing and had no pulse

when firefighters removed him from the home.

Fire crews performed advance life support mea-sures on Caldwell, the report stated.

Caldwell had a pulse but was in critical condition when he was transported to Geary Community Hos-pital.

Caldwell then was flown to Via Cristi St. Francis hospital in Wichita due to burn injuries, the report stated.

Preliminary loss esti-mates are more than $60,000.

The Junction City Police Department, Geary Coun-ty Emergency Manage-ment and fire marshal’s office assisted the JCFD.

later were treated and released from Geary Com-munity Hospital.

Due to what police ini-tially called “possible life-threatening wounds,” Roll-ins and Colin had to be transported by fixed wing aircraft to Stormont Vail Hospital in Topeka.

Two days later, that’s where Colin woke up.

Police said 34-year-old Jason Babylon is the man who stabbed Colin and the others that night. His case currently is pending in Geary County District Court.

The stabbing

Before his path crossed Babylon’s, Colin was pre-paring for a 1,500 mile road trip.

On Aug. 8, Colin set out for Southern Illinois Uni-versity at Edwardsville. He was about to begin his junior year of college and compete on the men’s golf team.

Before reaching his des-tination, Colin planned to make a stop at Fort Riley to visit Rollins, who soon would be setting out on his own journey.

“He was supposed to deploy to Afghanistan on Aug. 17,” Colin said during a recent phone interview. “And I was heading back to school at Southern Illi-nois-Edwardsville on Aug. 8. I promised him this sum-mer I would come up and see him before he deployed, so I just made a little detour up to Fort Riley to see him for the night. And I was planning on just heading out the next morning.”

Colin’s plan began to unravel soon after he and Rollins left an “over 18” country and dance bar sometime around 2 a.m. Saturday morning. They decided to grab a bite to eat at Pancho’s, the 24-hour Mexican restau-rant located at 419 W. Sixth St.

“We were sitting outside on the patio, talking to a few people we had met,” Colin said. “And two of the girls that we were with had started to head home. They lived just two blocks away, three blocks away and we were just going to walk back to their house and meet them there. And we could hear them across the street arguing with this guy, Babylon, from the patio and it just got me curious.”

One of the girls, stand-ing in the area of the Sixth and Jackson streets inter-section, called for Colin and Erick.

“And we ran over there and heard this guy, Jason Babylon, harassing and

threatening the girls,” Colin said. “I just kind of stepped in and basically said, ‘Who are you to talk to a female like that?’ For me, that’s one of the big-gest things that triggers my anger when a quote-unquote man is harassing a girl like that.”

Babylon turned his attention to Colin and charged.

Though Colin didn’t know it at the time, Babylon was armed with a small knife, which he used to slice through Colin’s skin as he ran past him.

Colin fell to the ground. When he struggled to turn around, get on his feet and face Babylon, his left leg gave out.

At that point, Rollins realized the severity of the situation.

Colin had suffered severe cuts to his neck and abdomen. He was holding his intestines in his hand.

After passing out, Colin said he remembers coming to and seeing 28-year-old Monte McWilliams and 26-year-old Ace Thompson, both members from the National Guard and from Salina, leaning next to him.

“The next thing I remember, one of the National Guardsmen, Monte, was slapping me in the face, telling me to keep my eyes open, stay with him, stay with him,” Colin said. “I passed out again and I woke up two days later in intensive care in Topeka.”

Strangers step in

McWilliams and Thomp-son were eating at Pan-cho’s. They had met Colin and Rollins just moments before they saw what appeared to be a fight in progress.

McWilliams, a graduate of Junction City High School, called out to Baby-lon.

“I was telling him to back off, get out of there,” he said in a phone inter-view.

Thompson got to Colin before McWilliams. He began applying pressure to Colin’s wounds while at the same time dialing 9-1-1.

At some point, Andrew Trammel was driving by and stopped his car to help.

“He said he saw somebody getting punched in the ribs

on the ground, when really I was getting

stabbed,” Colin said. “He said he really didn’t think about it, he just jumped out of his car, pushed the guy off of me and punched him. That’s when he got cut.”

Thompson said it wasn’t long before police arrived.

“As soon as they got there, they put their lights on Babylon,” Thompson said. “He got down on the ground. He already knew what to do, it seemed like. Then they took him away and it took a little longer for the paramedics to get there.”

Both Thompson and McWilliams recently had completed an annual com-bat lifesaver (CLS) class, which is a required part of their National Guard train-ing.

Thompson remembered learning from the class that in situations like this, a high percentage of people die before getting to the hospi-tal because of blood loss.

“I remembered that and all the training I had,” Thompson said. “I just thought, OK, this is what I need to do to help this guy. I think the training helps a lot.”

McWilliams said he also put his training to use with-out hesitation.

“Without thinking, I just kneeled down, applied pres-sure to his neck and made sure he kept his eyes open,” he said. “I was talking to him, telling him to stay alert.”

Colin stopped breathing

moments before Junction City Fire Department crews arrived, about four minutes after the call went out from dispatch.

“That’s what everybody strives for is something under five minutes,” Nathaniel said. “Because in a truly emergency situation, oxygen loss to the brain can cause all kinds of problems. When you hit that five-min-ute mark, you’re really get-ting into that very danger-ous territory. For them to be there within four to four-and-a-half minutes, to get him breathing again as fast as they did, just shows the level of training these guys have and the level of drive that they have is nothing short of the best guys I’ve ever worked with or the best guys I’ve ever seen.”

At some point in the

night, Colin again stopped breathing. But both times firefighters were able to bring him back.

Forever thankful

After spending 19 days in Topeka, Colin returned home to Arizona.

Though Nathaniel described him as a “pin-cushion” with all the bruises and cuts still visible, he’s up and moving around at a rate much faster than doctors predicted.

“I’m walking much bet-ter,” Colin said. “I barely use my cane anymore.”

Colin said he still is in contact with the people he met that night.

Trammel texts him every so often to check how he’s doing. McWilliams and Thompson visited him while he was recovering

in Topeka.“He kinda started tearing

up and said, ‘I really don’t know what to say to you guys or how to thank you enough,’” Thompson said of their first encounter with Colin and the McCarty fami-ly following that night.

But Colin also is thankful to the law enforcement and fire department personnel who responded.

“I’ve always had huge respect for police, fire fight-ers and paramedics, partial-ly because my brother was part of it and I know quite a few people who are,” Colin said. “But it has a little bit given me more respect for what they do because, like my brother said, if the para-medics hadn’t gotten there as fast as they did, like he said I had stopped breathing, I wouldn’t be here today.”

resolution. “It would be fine if we were

to say ‘let’s keep a balanced budget,’” Bennett said.

Bennett said the county has worked to balance their budget — something the federal and state governments struggle with.

“They’ve moved funds around and taken funds from us,” Bennett said. “We’ve talk-ed about that a lot of times.”

Bennett also expressed his opinion about the rift between Democrats and Republicans in the government.

“I don’t think they’re repre-

senting the people of the Unit-ed States in a proper fashion,” Bennett said. “They need to come to some type of agree-ment.”

Bennett continued by say-ing “governing is a great com-promise and when you com-promise, nobody is happy.”

“I don’t know how we can operate in a deficit,” Bennett said. “We’ve done that for a long time and I don’t know what the future will be.”

That future also includes a concern for Geary County, if funding continues to decrease.

“The only way we can lower our mill levy in the future will be to alleviate positions in vari-ous jobs,” Bennett said.

Commissioner Florence Whitebread said she’s con-

cerned about the nation’s debt situation.

“But I couldn’t tell you what we really need to do about it,” Whitebread said. “I think law makers need to take it more seriously.”

Commissioner Larry Hicks said it’s unfortunate how Con-gress is operating. He was also concerned about the impact the shutdown may have on federal employees and the gen-eral public as well.

“As disappointed as I am, I’m hopeful and optimistic that there can be some kind of reso-lution made on behalf of both entities,” Hicks said. “It may have some adversary on the general public and the econo-my, but I’m hoping it will be minimal at best.”

to tie government funding to ideological demands, “all to save face after making some impossible promises to the extreme right wing of their party.”

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, responded a short while later on the House floor. “The American people don’t want a shut-down and neither do I,” he said. Yet, he added, the new health care law “is having a devastating impact. ... Some-thing has to be done.”

A few minutes before midnight, Budget Director Sylvia Burwell issued a directive to federal agencies to “execute plans for an orderly shutdown.” While an estimated 800,000 federal workers faced furloughs, some critical parts of the government — from the mil-itary to air traffic control-lers — would remain open.

Any interruption in fed-eral funding would send

divided government into territory unexplored in nearly two decades. The impact of a shutdown would be felt unevenly.

Many low-to-moderate-income borrowers and first-time homebuyers seeking government-backed mort-gages could face delays, and Obama said veterans’ cen-ters would be closed.

About 800,000 federal workers, many already reel-ing from the effect of auto-matic budget cuts, would be ordered to report to work Tuesday for about four hours — but only to carry out shutdown-related chores

such as changing office voicemail messages and completing time cards.

Some critical services such as patrolling the bor-ders and inspecting meat would continue. Social Secu-rity benefits would be sent, and the Medicare and Med-icaid health care programs for the elderly and poor would continue to pay doc-tors and hospitals.

U.S. troops were shielded from any damage to their wallets when Obama signed legislation assuring the mil-itary would be paid in the in the event of a shutdown.

FORT RILEY SOLDIERS SAFETHIS:

About half the Defense Department’s civilian employees will be furloughed.BUT NOT THIS:

LEAVENWORTH — For the Junction City volleyball team, confidence can evaporate quick-er than a splash of water on a sidewalk during a hot Kansas summer day.

After a strong showing at the Topeka-Seaman tournament Saturday, the Blue Jays reverted to their old, tepid style of play in a triangular against Leavenworth and Atchison in Leaven-worth on Monday.

“We’re still struggling mentally and (with) having confidence,” Junction City coach Megan Parks said. “Leavenworth is a pretty good team, they have some great athletes, they can put the ball down, and then we just went through our phase of creating our own mistakes rather than trying to fight another team.”

Junction City came out sluggish against Leav-enworth, but rebounded in the second match against Atchison.

The Jays jumped on Atchison, winning the first set easily but got bogged down in a dogfight in the second set after putting in some substi-tutes.

After Atchison closed within two, senior Alex Wood sparked the Blue Jays to ride out the vic-tory in the second match.

“When we put (Wood) in, she was talking and demanding that everyone play and put in the effort and she had some good passes and some good digs,” Parks said.

Junction City goes 2-2 in Topeka Sea-man tournament

After a week off, where the Blue Jays focused on their own play, Junction City came out ready to go in the Topeka-Seamen torunament.

Junction City opened the tournament by defeating Shawnee Mission North 25-18, 25-12.

Then, the Jays dispatched Holton 25-23, 25-22.“(In) the tournament, we were real excited

because we competed when (the other team) was pushing us we actually pushed back and were able to finish,” Parks said. “We also learned that when we have a team that is highly com-petitive and is pushing us to make errors because of what they’re doing well, we’re also creating our own mistakes because of lack of confi-dence.”

The Blue Jays received strong play from Bre Waterman in the libero position.

“(She) played at the beginning of the day

pretty well at the libero position, passing and setting,” Parks said. “Not a lot of balls hit the ground with her around, she took control with the second line of defense.”

But after winning the first two matches, the Jays faced the same problems that have plagued the team all season.

In the third match, Junction City ran into a strong Silver Lake team, losing 25-11, 25-6.

But initially, the Blue Jays rebounded in their

USC’s slide to medi-ocrity costs Lane

KiffinLess than two years after

Southern California finished a 10-2 season with a 50-point win over UCLA, coach Lane Kiffin is unemployed.

Thirteen months after the Trojans were the nation’s top-ranked team, they’ve lost seven of their last 11 games. They haven’t looked good in many of their victories, either.

USC is wondering how an elite football program descend-ed to mediocrity so quickly, and whether the right coach can put the Trojans back among the elite.

Although NCAA sanctions have eroded USC for a few years now, athletic director Pat Haden feels Kiffin’s coaching also was to blame.

As he searches for Kiffin’s successor in the coming weeks, the former Trojans quarterback must find a candidate who can handle USC’s enormous expec-tations while maximizing the once-glamorous school’s many strengths.

Injured Florida DT Easley turning pro

after seasonFlorida defensive tackle

Dominique Easley, who sus-tained a season-ending knee injury last week, will enter the NFL draft.

The 6-foot-2, 285-pound senior from Staten Island, N.Y., could apply for a medical red-shirt and receive another year of college eligibility. But coach Will Muschamp said Monday that Easley “is definitely going to the NFL next year.”

One of the most disruptive linemen in the Southeastern Conference, Easley tore the anterior cruciate ligament and medial meniscus in his right knee during practice last Tues-day. He tore the ACL in his left knee in November 2011.

Those injuries could be cause for concern among NFL teams, but Muschamp said the next level is “the best move for him right now.”

“He’ll have plenty of inter-est,” Muschamp said. “He’ll be a productive guy on the next level. He’s a really good football play-er. He’s extremely intelligent. He gets the game. His tape speaks for itself and how he plays the game and approaches the game. He’ll be fine. There will be a lot of organizations that want him in their organization.”

Easley finished his college career with 72 tackles, including 18 for loss, and 5 1/2 sacks.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Their best record in more than two decades. Several breakout stars. A hungry bunch of young players who have finally played September games that matter.

There’s a lot to be optimistic about when it comes to the Kansas City Royals. There are also plenty of questions remaining as they point toward next season.

Will manager Ned Yost be back? Will they find a big bat for right field? Will they retain or replace right-hander Ervin Santana? Will some of the young pitchers develop into starters? Will they take the final step needed to make the postseason?

“We like our bullpen, we like our starting pitching and we think that our offensive unit is going to continue to grow and trend upward,” said Yost, whose contract expired after this season but who’s also received a vote of confi-dence from general manager Dayton Moore. “We think we’re sitting in a pretty good spot to come in next year and compete.”

The Royals finished 86-76 for their best record since 1989, and a 14-win improvement over last season. They were just five games back of the AL’s wild card and in contention until the pen-ultimate series of the season.

“Everyone in here realized how much fun

Jays compete at Rim-RockDaily Union Staff

LAWRENCE — The starting line of the Rim Rock Classic is packed as hun-dreds of runners jockey around.

It proved to be a good testing ground for the Junction City cross country team to see how far along it is one month into the season.

The Blue Jay runners stepped up to the challenge as eight runners set per-sonal records.

“We’re a young team without a lot of race experience,” Junction City coach Rebecca Steiger said. “So I was happy to see them step up in less than ideal condi-tions and we had fun running a muddy race and we had kids run their best times of the season.”

The large number of runners in the race presented a new challenge for the Blue Jays.

KSU looks to rebound after byeEthan PaDway

[email protected]

Coming off its first loss to Texas in 10 years, the Kansas State football team (2-2) could’ve spent it’s bye week licking the wounds left by the Long-horns.

But instead of overre-acting, Wildcats’ coach Bill Snyder kept a level head and maintained continuity.

He gave his players an off day following the loss and only held meetings on Monday, before jump-ing back into the practice routine.

“There was good and not so good,” Snyder said at the weekly Big 12 tele-conference. “We are working towards trying to manage what we do,

trying to improve where we need improvement, correct mistakes that were an issue for us in our previous ballgames and we did in many cases and in some cases we still have room to improve.”

On the weekend, he split his head coaches up, half went out and recruited Friday, while the other half went on trips Saturday following the morning practice to ensure that necessary recruiting work was done while simultane-ously giving his staff time to recuperate off.

This week, the Wild-cats will put in final preparations before they head down to Stillwater, Okla., to take on No. 21 Oklahoma State (3-1).

NEW ORLEANS — Drew Brees reminded a national audience why he’s becoming Mr. Monday Night, and gave the Miami Dol-phins another reason to regret not making a harder push to sign him when they had the chance seven years ago.

Brees passed for 413 yards and four touchdowns, and the Saints turned a clash of unbeaten teams into a lopsided affair, beating the Miami Dolphins 38-17 on Mon-day night.

“I felt like we found our rhythm,” Brees said. “Everytime we touched the ball it felt like we were going to go down and score points.”

Two of Brees’ touchdowns went to Jimmy Graham for 27 and 43 yards as the tight end had at least 100 yards receiving for the third straight game.

Brees’ other scoring strikes went to Benjamin Watson and Darren Sproles, who also rushed for a touchdown.

“We mix up where we put him alot to try to find him favorable matchups,” Brees said of Spro-les. “It goes that way for all our guys.”

Sproles’ 5-yard scoring run on the game’s opening series gave the Saints a lead they would not relinquish en route to their first 4-0 start since their Super Bowl championship season of 2009. The Saints started last season with four losses.

“We like this a lot better,”

Breesa said of the 4-0 start. “Everything that could have gone wrong for us went wrong. Fortunately we’re having the ball bounce our way this year. We’re playing good football.”

Ryan Tannehill passed for 249 yards and a touchdown to Charles Clay, but his four turn-overs on a fumble and three interceptions hurt Miami (3-1).

The Saints have won their last nine Monday night games, all with Brees at quarterback and often putting on some of his most memorable performances in the process.

There was his 307-yard, four-TD performance against Atlanta late in the 2011 season, the same game in which he broke Dan Marino’s 27-year-old record for yards passing in a season.

Earlier that same season, Brees threw for 363 yards and four scores in a 49-24 Monday night win over the New York Giants.

The Saints’ Super Bowl cam-paign of 2009 was highlighted by Brees’ 371 yards and five touch-downs in New Orleans’ stunning 38-17 rout of Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

Now his 10th 400-yard outing since he joined the Saints in 2006 delivered a sobering blow to a Miami team that came in riding a surprising surprising start.

When Brees was a free agent, he drew the most interest from New Orleans and Miami, but the Dolphins, fearful of the effects of reconstructive surgery on Brees throwing shoulder, did not pursue the quarterback as enthusiastically as then-Saints rookie coach Sean Payton. Since

then, Brees has become one of the most prolific quarterbacks in NFL history.

Brees was 30 of 39 against Miami without an interception. Sproles caught seven passes for 114 yards. Marques Colston had seven catches for 96 yards.

Miami’s Lamar Miller had 62 yards rushing on 11 carries, including a 5-yard scoring run late in the second quarter that made it 14-10, but the Saints began to run away with the game after that.

As the Saints pulled away, they also turned up their pass rush, sacking Tannehill three times in the third quarter.

Brees completed his first three passes for 70 yards. He followed up his long pass to Sproles with an 18-yard completion to rookie Kenny Stills. Soon after, Sproles ran it in, untouched, on a draw play.

During the drive, Brees became only the seventh quarterback to pass for more than 47,000 yards. He ended the drive with 47,030, surpassing Fran Tarkenton’s 47,003 for sixth most yards pass-ing all-time.

Later, Brees’ eighth comple-tion gave him 4,124 in his career, one more than John Elway for fourth all-time in that category.

Miami responded quickly to New Orleans opening score, sur-prisingly by running the ball. The Dolphins came in averaging 70.3 yards rushing per game, but gained 57 on the ground on their opening series. Miller had 33 yards on one run and Tannehill had a 26-yard gain.

However, New Orleans’ defense tightened up at its 10-yard line, and rookie nose tackle John Jen-kins’ tackle behind the line forced Miami to settle for Caleb Sturgis’ 34-yard field goal.

Big 12 up for grabs ahead of conference playBy LUKE MEREDITH

Associated Press

The fact that six teams got first-place votes in the preseason Big 12 poll was a sure sign that league would be unpredictable in 2013.

Good luck trying to figure out the confer-ence race now.

Preseason favorite Oklahoma State lost on Saturday at West Virginia. Presumptive contenders TCU and Texas each have two losses, and defending league champion Kan-sas State lost at home to FCS powerhouse North Dakota State.

Only Oklahoma, Baylor and Texas Tech survived September unbeaten. It’d be easy

to peg the Sooners as the favorites after they won at Notre Dame over the weekend, but like the Big 12 race could stretch past Thanksgiving.

The league’s first full week starts Thurs-day when Iowa State (1-2, 0-0 Big 12) hosts the Longhorns (2-2, 1-0).

It’s no surprise to see the Sooners in a first place of a league they’ve won eight times since 2000, including a share of the title last season. But it might come as a surprise to see them as the only Big 12 team in the national title discussion.

Oklahoma (4-0, 1-0 Big 12) moved up to No. 11 in this week’s poll after beating the Irish 35-21 in South Bend. The Sooners defense is sixth nationally with just 12

points allowed per game, and Blake Bell has seized the starting quarterback job with a pair of strong efforts.

The Sooners host TCU (2-2, 0-1) on Satur-day. Coach Bob Stoops dismissed any wor-ries about a possible letdown because it falls in between Notre Dame and Texas on Oct. 12.

“I always laugh at that, because this hap-pens every year,” Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. “It’s always the same story, the letdown before and after, and that hasn’t happened to us. We’ve got to win every game, and TCU is a good football team and we’re going to do our business like we always do.”

Baylor (3-0, 0-0) is first in the nation with 69.7 points a game after routing Wofford, Buffalo and Louisiana-Monroe, and it is second defensively in allowing just 7.7 points per outing. The next step for the Bears is to prove themselves against top-flight compe-tition. The Bears finally dive into league play Saturday against West Virginia (3-2, 1-1), which resurrected its once-wayward season with a 30-21 upset of the Cowboys.

The Bears start Big 12 play with the Mountaineers, Kansas State, Iowa State and Kansas. If Baylor can somehow maintain its dominant form, it could find itself 7-0 heading into a showdown at home against the Sooners on Nov. 7.

“They’ve made tremendous strides defen-sively,” West Virginia Dana Holgorsen said of Baylor. “It’s the same stuff that they’re doing offensively with a defense that’s play-ing a whole heck of a lot better and a lot of experience on both sides of the ball.”

Texas Tech also has a shot to be 7-0 before their game against the Sooners. Much like the Bears, the Red Raiders have made sig-nificant strides on defense.

Texas Tech (4-0, 1-0) has allowed just 10

points a game over its last three and will head into Saturday’s game at Kansas well rested after last week’s bye.

“What jumps out on tape is the effort they’re playing with each and every snap and taking pride in keeping people out of the end zone,” Texas Tech coach Kliff Kings-bury said of his defense. “It’s really been fun to watch.”

Given how volatile the Big 12 should be this season, even the teams off to shaky starts have a chance to redeem themselves over the next two months.

Oklahoma State (3-1, 0-1) returns home Saturday to face Kansas State (2-2, 0-1). Though the Cowboys got off to a rough start in league play, they know there’s still plenty of time to move up the Big 12 standings.

“They’ve had a lot of success here over the last four or five years. So when they lose, they’re disappointed. But you really don’t have a choice in college football. You’ve got to get ready to play the next game,” Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said.

By STEPHEN HAWKINS

Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas — David Price, Evan Longoria and the Tampa Bay Rays are going to playoffs again, getting there with a victory in their final regular-season game for the second time in three years.

They needed an extra game this time.

Price threw his fourth complete game of the season, Longoria hit a two-run homer and the Rays beat the Texas Rangers 5-2 in the AL wild-card tiebreaker Monday night, the 163rd game for both teams.

As soon as Price got the final out, he locked eyes with Longoria and they went straight to each other to start the celebration.

“He just told me that he had a dream about it,” Longoria said.

Luckily for manager Joe Maddon and the Rays, they weren’t done in by another blown call in Texas — though this one did cost them at least one run.

The Rays face another must-win situation Wednesday night at Cleve-land in the AL wild-card game — the winner faces Boston in the division series. In the playoffs for the fourth time in six years, Tampa Bay won four of six from the Indians during the regular season.

Price (10-8), the reigning AL Cy Young winner, had a 10.26 ERA in four previous starts at Rangers Ball-park. He was superb in this one, striking out four and walking one. He picked off two runners while allowing seven hits and throwing 81 of 118 pitches for strikes.

“When you can get outs without throwing pitches that’s always huge,” Price said. “If I don’t get those two outs on the pickoff moves, I have to get the next guys out. It forces me to throw at least 10 more pitches.”

The 28-year-old lefty reached 10 wins for the fifth straight season. He missed more than six weeks because of a triceps strain but is 9-4 in 13 starts since returning July 2 from his first career stint on the disabled list.

Longoria had three hits, continu-ing his stellar play in the last game of regular seasons. He is hitting .579 (11 for 19) in those finales with seven homers and 10 RBIs, according to STATS.

Texas had won seven in a row, needing every one of those wins just to force the majors’ first wild-card tiebreaker since 2007.

Even with the return of All-Star slugger Nelson Cruz from his 50-game drug suspension, the Rang-ers missed a chance to get to the playoffs for the fourth year in a row.

“I’m disappointed. We didn’t get it done,” Rangers manager Ron Wash-ington said. “I’ve got no excuse for that.”

Cruz, who had 27 homers and 76 RBIs in 108 games before his suspen-sion, was 0 for 4 with a strikeout while hitting sixth as the designated hitter. His groundout to shortstop ended the game.

The Rays had runners at first and second with two outs in the seventh when Delmon Young, who put the Rays ahead to stay with a sacrifice fly in the first, hit a soft flyball.

Center fielder Leonys Martin made a running, diving play to catch the ball. Replays showed clearly that the ball bounced into Martin’s glove. But third base umpire Ron Kulpa, look-ing at the play from the side, ruled it an inning-ending catch.

Young rounded first base with his arms spread out signaling safe. Mad-don went out to talk to Kulpa, though the conversation didn’t appear heat-ed.

“Thankfully it didn’t come back to bite us,” Longoria said.

When the Rays played at Texas on April 8, the fourth game of the sea-son for both teams, their 5-4 loss ended when plate umpire Marty Fos-ter called a third strike against Ben Zobrist on a pitch low and outside. The ump later admitted the 2-2 cur-veball wasn’t a strike and he wouldn’t call that pitch a strike if he could do it again. The Texas win and closer Joe Nathan’s 300th career save stood.

Maddon said after that game that such calls “can’t be made in a Major League Baseball game.” The Rays still had a runner on base and Long-oria on deck when Zobrist was called out.

MLB intends to use expanded video review next year.

The Rangers had beaten Tampa Bay in the AL division series in 2010 and 2011 on way to their only two World Series. It was the second year in a row their season ended in a do-or-die game at home — they lost to Baltimore in the first AL wild-card game last October.

“I’m happy that we don’t have to play them anymore,” Longoria said. “ It’s fitting we had to go down this road. It feels really good to be able to leave here celebrating instead of with our heads down.”

Tampa Bay and Texas are the only teams in the majors to win at least 90 games in each of the last four seasons.

In 2011, the Rays had to overcome a nine-game deficit the final month of the season and were down seven runs in their 162nd game of the sea-son. They got to the playoffs after Longoria’s game-ending homer in the 12th inning to beat the New York Yankees.

The first four hitters in the game against rookie left-hander Martin Perez (10-6) combined for three sin-gles and a walk, and yet the Rays still didn’t have a run.

Desmond Jennings, in his first start in more than a week after deal-ing with left hamstring tightness, hit the game’s first pitch down the left-field line. He was thrown out trying to stretch the hit to a double when left fielder Craig Gentry, who even with the return of Cruz stayed in the lineup because of his hot bat, made a strong throw.

Will Myers walked on four pitches before consecutive singles by Ben Zobrist and Longoria loaded the bases. A run finally came home on Young’s sacrifice fly.

Young, signed by the Rays as a minor league free agent less than six weeks ago, was the MVP of the AL championship series last year when Detroit swept the New York Yankees. He hit two homers with six RBIs in that four-game series.

Jennings had a leadoff walk in the third, and there were two outs before Longoria hit a drive to right-center that landed in the Rangers bullpen.

After Martin struck out Zobrist to start the sixth, the eighth consecu-tive batter he retired, Alexi Ogando gave up a double to Longoria, who scored on a pinch-double by David DeJesus.

Dear Annie: I am a 57-year-old woman, and my husband is 61.

We met online and spent weekends together for seven months before get-ting married.

I was deeply in love with him for the first six months.

Lately, my attitude and feelings have changed dra-matically.

This man drives me crazy and grosses me out.

He is constantly clearing his throat and blowing his nose.

He is flatulent and burps long and loud all day and night.

He’s clumsy, and his memory is going downhill fast.

He becomes very defen-sive when I try to talk to him about any of this.

I still love him, but not romantically. I feel more like a best friend.

I have to force myself to kiss him, let alone sleep with him, and due to his denial, I have lost a lot of respect for him.

This was not the man I dated. He retired six months ago and now sits around all day getting stoned.

He doesn’t make friends, and he needs open heart surgery and a knee replace-ment and will require a caregiver very soon.

He knew I was a nurse when we met, and I think he married me because of his overwhelming fear of being alone.

I have spent decades tak-ing care of people who are disabled, demented and in denial.

I now see this marriage as a live-in job.

He can’t understand why my feelings have changed and blames me.

I feel totally trapped. I bought the house we are living in and brought more money into the marriage.

However, because I am entitled to his retirement benefit when he dies, he considers our financial contributions to be equal.

I didn’t date for 12 years before I met him and thought we were very com-patible.

I should have lived with him for at least a year, but I wanted to set a good exam-ple for my children.

Please don’t suggest counseling.

It won’t change his per-sonality or improve his declining health and hon-esty. — Regrets in Para-dise

Dear Regrets: The coun-seling isn’t for him.

It’s for you. You feel trapped with a man you no longer wish to be intimate with, and the future you see is that of patient and nurse. There’s no point in beating yourself up over what you didn’t notice when you were dating. That happens to

everyone. The question is what you are going to do about it now. And that’s where the counseling can help. You need to sort out how you feel, whether you are willing to stick it out and the emotional cost to you.

Dear Annie: Why do people make a big deal out of men who are crossdress-ers?

I am 43 years old, happily married and not gay. I’m a businessman, and I wear lacy lingerie with breast forms under my suits every day.

My beautiful wife of 20 years thinks I look hot in lingerie.

When we go out to fancy restaurants, I dress up as a woman.

I’m very passable, and our four teenage daughters are OK with it.

There are straight women who wear men’s clothing, and I never hear anything negative about them. — A Happy Father and Hus-band

Dear Happy: Women who wear men’s clothing generally do so because it is more comfortable.

Men who wear women’s clothing, which is decidedly less comfortable, often do so because it gives them a sexual thrill or satisfies some emotional need. (Some women dress like men for the same reasons.)

The important thing is that your wife and daugh-ters are OK with it. No one else’s opinion matters.

Dear Annie: I believe “Native New Yorker,” whose scratchy voice makes peo-ple think he is foreign, missed out on a lot of oppor-tunities to have fun. His response to questions regarding his origin should be: “I’m from Mars. Please take me to your leader.” — C.

ARIES (March 21—April 19). A person who doesn’t know what good is cannot be happy. Your conscience may keep you from following a hedonistic path, but ultimately joy is better than pleasure.

TAURUS (April 20—May 20). Call the expert, Google the question on your mind, ask your mom. Do your research first, before you decide on a plan of action. Research will tell you what is not even worth pursuing.

GEMINI (May 21—June 21). Stress may be a fleeting reaction to the moment, but it also has long—term health ramifi-cations. Learning more effective coping skills could actually help you live longer and will certainly help you live better.

CANCER (June 22—July 22). You’re in a different place in your life than some of the people who are around you today, which is precisely why you have a lot to offer one another. The gift of a different perspective cannot be underestimated now.

LEO (July 23—Aug. 22). You like that people younger than you have things that weren’t available to you growing up. But sometimes younger people teaching the older ones can bring an unsettling dynamic.

VIRGO (Aug. 23—Sept. 22). There are things that are richer than power and privilege, but sadly some people lack the ability to experience them or even believe they exist. That’s why your compassion is a much—needed force in the world.

LIBRA (Sept. 23—Oct. 23). You could worry about things not under your con-trol, or you could channel that energy into the things you can do something about. More than likely, you’ll do a little of both.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24—Nov. 21). A person doesn’t have to be lying to be totally wrong. There is a lot of misinformation in the world. Try not to read too much into the exchange of bad information.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22—Dec. 21). The work you did last week is only now start-ing to be recognized by those whose opinions matter to your future. More than compliments, you want advance-ment —— and that’s just what you’ll get.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22—Jan. 19). Peo-ple present the side of themselves that they want you to see and believe. You’re too keen to take that as the whole truth. You’ll see through the cracks of the faáade and address the reality.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20—Feb. 18). You’ll be concerned with the larger implications of your activities. If a practice makes you skillful, blameless and happy, it’s some-thing worth pursuing. If it brings a lot of garbage and politics into play, it’s not worth pursuing.

PISCES (Feb. 19—March 20). Seize the moment of silent reverence offered you. “No more words. In the name of this place we drink in with our breathing, stay quiet like a flower, so the nightbirds will start singing.” — Rumi

SPORTS

winning was in that second half was for us,” first base-man Eric Hosmer said. “The fans were great in Kansas City, showing up every day and filling it out for us and really making it a tough place to play for teams com-ing in.”

Indeed, the fervor of late-season baseball was back in the old Midwestern cattle town for the first time since George Brett — who made a cameo as the Royals’ hitting coach midway through the season — was plying his trade at third base in the 1970s and ‘80s.

Kauffman Stadium was filled to the brim for the Royals’ final home series against Texas, and the team even managed to push the Chiefs off the front page late in the season.

“A lot of us realized how good of a baseball city Kan-sas City is,” Hosmer said, “and especially when you’re winning how fun it can be.”

The Royals still haven’t been to the playoffs since winning the 1985 World Series, and never did pull into a postseason slot despite a stellar second half. They

still have not risen to the level of the American League’s elite franchises, even if they’re trending that way.

For the most part, the Roy-als spent the entire season chasing those teams.

They got off to a misera-ble start capped by a disas-trous May in which they were just 8-20, and they were already being written off again. But they steadied the ship in June and then went on a tear after the All-Star break, putting together a 43-27 finishing kick.

“We just need to keep that kind of mentality where we go out there and play hard and have fun and just let that happen,” outfielder Alex Gordon said. “We had a good energy in the club-house and a good mentality, kind of feeling. It paid off with the wins we had.”

The clubhouse will remain largely intact next season. Hosmer and young starters such as shortstop Alcides Escobar and center Salva-dor Perez are under club control or already have long-term deals, and even ace James Shields remains signed through next season. Santana is the biggest loss looming — he may have priced himself out of Kan-sas City by going 9-10 with a

3.24 ERA. The Royals will make a

qualifying offer to Santana, but they also have a bevy of youngsters led by Yordano Ventura and Kyle Zimmer waiting in the wings if he gets away in free agency. All-Star closer Greg Hol-land, who saved 47 games with a 1.21 ERA, will be back to anchor one of the major’s best bullpens. Holland had just one blown save in his last 41 chances.

The biggest question becomes who will manage them.

Owner David Glass intends to leave that deci-sion up to Moore, who has been in Yost’s corner all sea-son. Yost also has said he’d like to be back, especially with the franchise finally contending for the first time in decades.

“When you have some-thing good you need to stick with it,” Gordon said, “and I think that’s what we have. We have a good manager that gels well with the guys on this team and we all have a good relationship. It’s kind of hard to start over again with someone new, so it’d be nice to have him back and we’re hoping that he comes back.”

Before the Rim Rock classic, many of the runners hadn’t experienced compet-ing in such a crowded race.

“We always talk about packing and you have to know where your teammates are,” Steiger said. “You can’t lose that, you can’t make the mistake of not paying attention to that in a huge race like this a rim rock or they’re swept away in the crowd and you can’t catch them back.”

The girls team finished 17th out of 35 teams in the competition.

Senior Rosie Hollis led the Blue Jays.She finished the race 14th in the time

of 16:29.09.Steiger said Hollis’ familiarity with the

course helped her to medal in a race where she was competing against 240 other runners.

“Last year, she ran in the invitational and then she was also able to run it in state, and that gives you a significant advantage,” she said. “You know where the turns are, a little more of what to expect and you’re not quite as shell-shocked when you’re at the line with 200 people.”

Deisjambra Bision crossed the line in 17:10, slotting her in 50th-place and Autumn Sifuentes finished the course in 17:22.50.

The Junction City boys team main-tained its pack mentality in the race. The top six Blue Jay boys runners all finished within 40 seconds of each other.

Evan Hallum finished 62nd with the time of 17:47.60.

Stephen Deveau crossed the line three people later in 17:52.

Nick Arneson, Gabe Padilla and Antho-

ny Deltufo all broke the 19-minute mark, finishing in 95th, 122nd and 146th, respec-tively.

The boys continued to finish in a tight pack, like they have all season.

“They keep trading places, which as a coach is a great problem to have. So we always tell them nobody has a set place on our team, so if somebody isn’t run-ning their best race you have to step it up.”

Junction City hosts its invitational Sat-urday at Milford State Park.

“The advantage is just like in any other sport,” Steiger said. “Home course advan-tage is just like home court advantage. You do have more people there cheering for Junction City and you do have an advantage because you know where the turns are where the tight spots are, where you can pass somebody, where you can surge.”

Nam Y. Huh • The Associated PressKansas City Royals’ Salvador Perez hits a single against the Chicago White Sox during the eighth inning in Chicago on Sunday.

Just like the Wildcats, the Cowboys also are looking for their first Big 12 conference victory after Oklahoma State was upset in West Virginia Saturday.

Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy believes his team will be fine after rebounding from what has become a rare conference loss.

“They were good at practice last night and it was obvious the mistakes we made,” he said at the Big 12 teleconfer-ence. “We were poor in the turnover category and in the kicking game and that pretty much tells the tale in most football games, let alone playing on the road, so I think they understand what we need to work on.”

The ‘Pokes play an up-tempo offense where they try to run as many plays as possible.

This is in stark contrast to the Wild-cats’ ball-control gameplan.

Even with a new quarterback running the show at K-State, Gundy hasn’t seen much difference from previous Wildcat teams.

“I think we prepare for the (Waters) and the other guy will play. In my mind they have a concept for him, a wildcat if that’s the term you want to use, but their offensive schemes have stayed very sim-ilar over the last few years so we would expect for them to handle the game that way.”

In the game, which pits the previous two Big 12 champions against each other, will rejuvenate the winner and leave the loser in a deep hole in the race to win the conference crown.

Kansas gets physicalAfter winning the first game against a

Division 1 Football Bowl Series oppo-nent in more than two years, the Kansas football team (2-1) wanted to keep the momentum going during its bye week.

So instead of taking time off, Kansas coach Charlie Weis had his players go

full speed throughout the week.He capped it off with a scrimmage on

Thursday where everyone was playing at full speed.

Even the quarterbacks traded in their red practice jersey’s for blue ones, mean-ing they were fair game as well.

“I think that one of the things, when quarterbacks aren’t live, which is how we normally practice, you really can’t tell how plays are going to turn out sometimes,” Weis said at the Big 12 tele-conference on Monday. “‘Are you going to sack the quarterback or is the quar-terback going to torch you for 30 yards on a run?’ At least now there were a lot of very clear cut, here’s what’s going to happen in those situations, here’s what’s going to happen at full speed.”

Saturday, the Jayhawks have the chance to end another streak — win a conference game — something that hasn’t happened since a double-digit, fourth quarter comeback against Colo-rado on Nov. 6, 2010.

The Jayhawks host No. 20 Texas Tech.

Weis has a connection with Red Raid-er’s coach Kliff Kingsbury, and the familiarity should help him prepare for the game.

“I was there in New England when we drafted Kliff,” Weis said. “And that’s the same offense that I’m seeing, the same offense when Kliff was coming out. That’s what Kliff knows and that’s what Kliff’s doing.”

The game against Texas Tech is the first of nine consecutive games against Big 12 opponents to close out the sea-son.

But after beating Louisiana Tech on a last-second field goal, Weis thinks his team is finally beginning to turn the corner.

“They’re so used to losing these close games here that I think it was definitely a big psychological plus for us,” Weis said. “We know we’re about to hit the grind right here, but going into a bye-week, coming off a win with a kick on the last play of the game made things a lot easier to tolerate around here.”

final match against a strong Seamen team.“We started out really good against Sea-

man,” Parks said. “We sided out with them 15 to 17 points, they served one time and each time a server was up, she only had one chance to serve, so it was really nice that we were siding out with them.”

But much like their day, the Jay’s faded as the match wore on, losing 25-17, 25-8.

“Seamen started throwing some differ-ent things at us and instead of responding and reacting in a competitive way, we just laid back,” Parks said.

Junction City (8-6) will return to prac-tice as they get ready for a tournament at Wichita Heights on Saturday.

“We’re going to focus on our setters,” Parks said. “We’re going to be running a lot of drills, some one-on-one training going on and also some team drills about what our setters are doing, how our setters are running our offense, our setters demand-ing more from our hitters.”
