Walker to retire

As a teacher, you want your students to learn more than you know, and as a superintendent, I wanted my staff to well exceed what I knew, and I think they did that.
RONALD WALKEr
Superintendent to step down after 10 years at the helm

m.editor@thedailyunion.net
you love and enjoy the job, he said. However, there was a difference between what I wanted to do and what I was able to do, noting he thought he came back from his surgery a bit too soon, two years ago. He said he had great doctors, but there were some things with the surgery he didnt expect. While plenty has been accomplished in USD 475 during his 10-year tenure, Walker indicated he felt he didnt do enough. We still have elementary schools I havent been able to touch, and the high school is still needing repairs, he said. I feel bad about it. Hes most proud of the improvements to infrastructure during his leadership stint, saying theyve virtually rebuilt the district. That desire came from a conversation with a Fort Riley garrison commander shortly after Walker started in the position. That commander told him Geary County had really good schools, but horrible facilities. The quality of schools really does matter, Walker said. Technology was another major factor. And with the help from the USD 475 technology department, Walker led a charge to infuse technology into the district, and give students the opportunity to open doors to the world. As a teacher, you want your students to learn more than you know, and as a superintendent, I wanted my staff to well exceed what I knew, and I think they did that, he said. Walker became Superintendent of USD 475 in 2004, after serving for roughly a year as the Director of Human Resource Services in the district. In an email sent to USD 475 staff Wednesday morning, obtained by the Daily Union through an open records request, Walker indicated he did not have another job lined up, nor does he have plans to work in another school district. Yet he hasnt ruled out trying his hand at the university level. Another possibility is to help a community develop its image, one that can help sell the city or town. He could fill such a role in Geary County, as he noted hes looked at working with the Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce. Hes also indicated he is selling his Milford home, but is eyeing a move into a smaller home in town. His Milford home has been on the market roughly 43 days. My dream is to blend Junction City, Geary County and USD 475, and to present that blend to businesses and families as a place where you can live and thrive, he said. Walkers email also addressed rumors floating around, including gossip which Walker said causes a lot of bad feelings. Although he didnt Please see Walker, 10A
Ron Walker will be capping a 39-year run in education this spring, as he announced Wednesday hell be retiring as Superintendent from Unified School District 475, effective at the end of the 2013-14 school year. Walker said Wednesday afternoon hes been contemplating the decision for six to 12 months, and said it wasnt an easy decision to make. Its probably the most difficult thing to do when
GRANDVIEW PLAZA Residents of Grandview Plaza approved a 5-year extension of the retailers sales tax Tuesday in a special election.

Folk singer Seeger dies

By The Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. Unable to carry his beloved banjo, Pete Seeger used a different but equally formidable instrument, his mere presence, to instruct yet another generation of young people how to effect change through song and determination two years ago. A surging crowd, two canes and seven decades as a history-sifting singer and rabble-rouser buoyed him as he led an Occupy Wall Street protest through Manhattan in 2011. Be wary of great leaders, he told The Associated Press two days after the march. Hope that there are many, many small leaders. The banjo-picking troubadour who sang for migrant workers, college students and star-struck presidents in a career that introduced generations of Americans to their folk music heritage died Monday at age 94. Seegers grandson, Kitama CahillJackson, said his grandfather died peacefully in his sleep around 9:30 p.m. at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, where he had been for six days. Family members were with him. He was chopping wood 10 days ago, Cahill-Jackson recalled. With his lanky frame, use-worn banjo and full white beard, Seeger was an iconic figure in folk music who outlived his peers. He performed with the great minstrel Woody Guthrie in his younger days and wrote or co-wrote If I Had a Hammer, Turn, Turn, Turn, Where Have All the Flowers Gone and Kisses Sweeter Than Wine. He lent his voice against Hitler and nuclear power. A cheerful warrior, he typically delivered his broadsides with an affable air and his fingers poised over the strings of his banjo. In 2011, he walked nearly 2 miles with hundreds of protesters swirling around him holding signs and guitars, later admitting the attention embarrassed him.

Born March 8, 1927, in Slater, Mo., he was the son of the late Roy Carl Wilhite, Sr. and Hattie Lula Epperson Wilhite. He was a graduate of Marshall High School. On Jan. 22, 1949, he married Jean Burke who preceded him in death on Jan. 22, 1985. He lived in Marshall since 1995 and retired from the moving and storage industry. He was a U.S. Navy veteran of World War II and a member of the VFW and American Legion. He was a Baptist. Richard is survived by one son, Richard W. Wilhite and wife Christy of Junction City; one daughter, Theresa Lynn Fitting and husband John of Harrisburg, Pa.; six grandchildren, Brian Wilhite and wife Darcy, Michael Wilhite and wife Taylor, Guy Witt, Amanda Witt, John Fitting and Jenna Fitting; three great-grandchildren, Genevieve Wilhite, Adelyne Wilhite and Wyatt Ziegler; two sisters, Juanita Bramble of Marshall and Brenda Carol Rowles of Raymore, Mo.; and several nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents and wife, Jean, Richard was preceded in death by one daughter, Karen Sue Wilhite; one brother, R.C. Wilhite, Jr.; and one sister, Velzora Bailey.
STATE OF THE UNION
Obama vows to flex presidential powers in speech

B Y JULIE P ACE
AP White House Correspondent

WASHINGTON Seeking to energize his sluggish second term, President Barack Obama vowed Tuesday night in his State of the Union address to sidestep Congress whenever and wherever necessary to narrow economic disparities between Americas rich and poor. He unveiled an array of modest executive actions to increase the minimum wage for federal contract workers and make it easier for millions of low-income people to save for retirement. America does not stand still and neither do I, Obama declared in his prime-time address before a joint session of Congress and millions of Americans watching on television. Draped in presidential grandeur, Obamas hourlong address served as the opening salvo in a midterm election fight for control of Congress that will quickly consume Washingtons attention. Democrats, seeking to cast Republicans as uncaring about the middle class, have urged Obama to focus on economic mobility and the gap between the wealthy and poor. His emphasis on executive actions was greeted with
shouts of Do it! from many members of his party. Declaring 2104 a year of action, Obama also sought to convince an increasingly skeptical public that he still wields power in Washington even if he cant crack through the divisions in Congress. Burned by a series of legislative failures in 2013, White House aides say theyre now redefining success not by what Obama can jam through Congress but by what actions he can take on his own.
Indeed, Obamas proposals for action by lawmakers were slim and largely focused on old ideas that have gained little traction over the past year. He pressed Congress to revive a stalled immigration overhaul, pass an across-theboard increase in the federal minimum wage and expand access to early childhood education all ideas that gained little traction after he proposed them last year. The presidents one new
legislation proposal calls for expanding an income tax credit for workers without children. Republicans, who saw their own approval ratings fall further in 2013, have also picked up the refrain of income inequality in recent months, though they have cast the widening gap between rich and poor as a symptom of Obamas economic policies. Republicans have plans to close the gap, plans that
focus on jobs first without more spending, government bailouts and red tape, said Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., in the Republicans televised response to the presidents speech. We hope the president will join us in a year of real action, by
empowering people, not making their lives harder with unprecedented spending, higher taxes, and fewer jobs. The economy and other domestic issues, including health care, dominated the presidents address.

Our view Local building slump a concern
he slump last year locally in construction of single-family housing can be blamed on a number of factors a still-sluggish economy, a previous rash of home building that possibly glutted the market, and the large number of rental units being built on post to accommodate both single and married soldiers. Junction City issued just 48 single-family home building permits in 2013, down about 60 percent from each of the previous three years. That affects a lot of people builders, those who sell building material, those who work in the building trade, real estate professionals and so forth. The drop makes it even more obvious that efforts to diversify the local economy must continue and indeed be intensified if Junction City and Geary County are to grow and not be overly dependent on the fortunes of Fort Riley. We know that those efforts are being made now. The latest housing figures demonstrate how serious the problem has become. Interested citizens can meet face to face with their legislators from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday at the Dorothy Bramlage Public Library. With the legislative session in full swing, now is a perfect time to express ones opinion whether on casino legislation, school finance, taxes or anything else. The four legislators who represent the districts in the Flint Hills will be in attendance, so make plans to attend if possible. An apparent theft has left the Geary County Childrens Choir short of funds for a planned trip to Colorado Springs this summer to perform there. The former business manager has been charged with embezzling $10,000 from funds raised by the children selling candy bars and other items, as well as performing around town. Now the group is scrambling to make up the funds to the trip wont be canceled. Our hope is that this always-generous community will pitch in to make sure the show indeed goes on. Donations can be made at the Fort Riley Elementary School, mailed to the choir at 525 S. 8th St., Salina Kansas 67401 or made online at www. gofundme.com/GCCC-Touring-funding.
The general store gone but not forgotten

Talking state legislature

Kids in need after theft
The Daily Union
ears ago every town had one. They served as a meeting place for friends and neighbors. You could catch up on local news and wet your whistle at the same time. This long-gone establishment was the general store. It carried candy, soda, cigarettes, gas, hardware and a few clothing items like gloves and hats. Some were even run by a registered pharmacist and carried medicine for what ailed you. In the small northwestern Kansas community where I grew up, Albert Dreese owned and operated the general store. Mr. Dreese would take your shopping list, grab a brown paper bag and grope through dimly lighted aisles and the maze of store items carefully selecting and filling your order. When Mr. Dreese returned hed hand my mom the bag and me a sucker or balloon before bidding us good-bye and returning to his cronies and the pitch game at the small table in the center of the store. Mr. Dreese never rang up your bill on a computer or cash register either. He figured everything in his head, wrote it down on a small note pad and made change out of the front pockets
of his trousers. While a card game was in progress, it was up to individual players to serve themselves a soda or beer and deposit the correct change on the counter top. No interruptions please the game was all-important. Peanuts to munch on while playing cards were weighed out on a scale and poured into a small brown bag. During the winter, no one stoked the pot-bellied stove except Mr. Dreese because a cherry red stove would melt all of his chocolate bars, or thats what he told all the youngsters who visited his store. Why, he even ran old Mr. Reinhart out of the store one day for tampering with his stove. Another source of entertainment in the general store was a one-armed bandit yep, right in the little community of Seguin. Farmers around home didnt need to travel to Las Vegas to gamble they farmed for a living and dropped by the back room of Mr. Dreeses store. The sheriff never knew about this onearmed bandit, or so I thought. Every so often when I had a few coins burning a hole in my pockets, Davey Thummel and I would walk down to the store and plunk down a dime for a Coke and fill it with a nickel bag of Planters peanuts. Albert Dreese isnt around anymore.
Neither is the store. His business and others like it couldnt compete with the giant supermarkets and box stores offering lower prices and modern conveniences all under one roof. No, Mr. Dreeses store didnt have air conditioning for those hot, northwestern Kansas summer days. It didnt have air pudding (elevator) music, coupons or anything you could want, or didnt need, to entice customers from Norton, Colby, Oakley and the rest of northwestern Kansas. All Mr. Dreese had to offer was himself, a smile and dedicated service to his friends and neighbors who dropped by his small general store. Yes, Albert Dreese is dead and a part of history died with him. We dont have general stores anymore. His personal touch and sincere interest in his neighbors, friends and customers has been replaced by whirling blue lights, swarming shoppers and cars, screaming kids and aisles and miles of consumer items.

Physicians view on sanctity of life

B Y D R. B EN C ARsON
Special to The Daily Union

Several years ago, I was consulted by a young woman who was 33 weeks pregnant and was on her way to Kansas to get an abortion. I informed her of the multiple options available to her outside of abortion, and she decided to go through with the pregnancy even though the child had hydrocephalus and would require neurosurgical intervention a few weeks after birth. She kept the baby and loves the beautiful child that has resulted. A couple of decades ago, I came into the pediatric intensive care unit on morning rounds and was told about a 4-year-old girl who had been hit by an ice-cream truck and was comatose and exhibiting little neurological function other than reactive pupils. I tested her pupillary reflexes, and both pupils were fixed and dilated. The staff indicated to me that this was something that must have just occurred. I grabbed the bed and, with some help, transported her quickly to the operating room for an emergency craniotomy. I was met along the way by a senior neurosurgeon who told me I was wasting my time and that, at best, we would end up with someone in a vegetative state. Nevertheless, we completed the operation, and a few days later, her pupils became
reactive, and she eventually left the hospital. I saw her a few years ago walking through the hospital with her own 4-yearold little girl. She was neurologically fully intact and told me she had become somewhat of a celebrity because of the experience I just related. What do these two stories have in common? They both involve precious lives that easily could have been discarded. My entire professional life has been devoted to saving and enhancing lives. Thus, the thought of abortion for the sake of convenience does not appeal to me. I personally have met several people who told me their mothers had considered abortion but happily decided against it. Most of us instinctively want to protect helpless creatures and sometimes go to great lengths to do so. The television commercials about abused animals are poignant, and as a society, we sometimes delay or cancel large construction projects to protect an endangered insect, amphibian or fish. Yet many of us turn a blind eye to the wanton slaughter of millions of helpless human babies, who are much more sophisticated than some of the other creatures, when nothing is at stake other than the convenience of one or both parents. I am not saying we should abandon our efforts to save baby seals and a host of other animals. I am saying: Shouldnt we consider adding human fetuses and babies
to the list? Watching the human fetus develop is awe-inspiring. In less than three months from conception, the little hands and feet are quite recognizable, and distinct facial features characterize cute but very tiny human beings. From Day One, neurons of the brain are proliferating at a rate that will yield a staggering 100 billion neurons by birth. In a matter of nine months from conception, we have a living, breathing, eating, vocal human being who just two months later is socially interactive. Some people oppose having pregnant women view ultrasonic pictures of their developing babies because they do not want an emotional bond to develop. Careful, unbiased contemplation, however, might yield the conclusion that such bonding is essential to the survival of mankind. Successful farmers nourish and protect their growing crops, and if conditions threaten their crops, they do what is necessary to protect them. Rather than attack the analogy, think about how much more precious a human life is than a stalk of corn. It is important to try to understand the emotional state of young women seeking an abortion. Instead of judging and condemning them, we need to provide compassion and support. They need to be provided with easy access to adoption services and information about assistance available to them if
they decide to keep the baby. I have visited many warm, inviting facilities around the country that exist solely for the purpose of helping these young women. It is equally, if not more, important to reach these young women before they become pregnant. Forget about those politically correct people who say all lifestyles are equal, and inform those young women about the true consequences of out-of-wedlock birth for those who are not financially independent. We need to make sure they understand that they can provide a much better life for themselves and their children when they plan ahead and value themselves appropriately. As a society, we cannot be afraid to discuss important social and moral issues. Our heritage as a nation is built on compassion, forgiveness and understanding. Courage is also vitally important, because those who stand on godly principles and values will be attacked. Attempting to characterize love and compassion for human life as a war on women is deceitful and pathetic. We the people must stop allowing ourselves to be manipulated by those with agendas that do not include regard for the sanctity of life.

Kansas court skeptical of defense in Tiller shooting

TOPEKA Kansas Supreme Court justices expressed skepticism that a man convicted of shooting a Wichita abortion provider should get a new trial because he believes he was saving unborn childrens lives. The court Wednesday heard the appeal of Scott Roeder, who is serving at least 50 years in prison for the death of Dr. George Tiller in May 2009. Appellate defender Rachel Pickering argued that Roeder should get a new trial because jurors werent allowed to consider whether they could convict him of voluntary manslaughter, rather than first-degree murder. She argued that Roeder had a sincere but unreasonable belief that he was preventing the deaths of others. Roeder was convicted of shooting Tiller at the doctors church. Tiller was among a handful of U.S. physicians known to do late-term abortions.

Lawrence homicide suspect to return to Kansas

LAWRENCE A 19-year-old woman charged with killing a Lawrence businessman has agreed to return to Kansas from Florida, where she was arrested over the weekend while camping in Everglades National Park. The Lawrence JournalWorld reports that Sarah Brooke Gonzales McLinn waived an extradition hearing Wednesday in federal court in Miami. McLinn is charged with first-degree murder in the death of 52-year-old Harold Sasko, who owned pizza restaurants in Lawrence and Topeka. McLinn was an employee, and Saskos relatives have said he let her move into his home while she was having personal problems. McLinns family reported her missing around the same time Sasko was found dead Jan. 17 in his home. Douglas County authorities allege Sasko was killed with an edged instrument after being subdued.

In a state like ours, which is proud of our immigrant history, we should keep in mind the outstanding contributions that immigrant students who have attended Kansas public schools have made and continue to make to our state. Alabama enacted a similar law in 2011, but it was blocked by a federal appeals court. A 1982 U.S. Supreme Court ruling grants the children of people who are living in the U.S. illegally a free public education.

Court hears case of abortion doctors murder

TOPEKA The Kansas Supreme Court is preparing to hear arguments in the appeal of the man convicted of killing a Wichita abortion doctor. Multiple legal issues are before the high court in Wednesday mornings hearing for Scott Roeder. He was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 50 years for the May 2009 shooting death of Dr. George Tiller of Wichita.
Tiller was among a few U.S. physicians known to perform abortions in the last weeks of pregnancy. One issue before the court is whether jurors should have been allowed to consider a lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter, given Roeders belief that Tillers murder was justified to save the lives of unborn children. Roeder was not expected to be present for Wednesdays hearing.

Bill to end Kansas Senate leadership PAC advances

TOPEKA A Kansas Senate committee is recommending passage of a bill that would abolish a political action committee led by moderate Republicans that was involved in 2012 elections. The Senate Ethics and Election Committee voted Wednesday to advance the bill. The PAC was led by former moderate Republican Senate leaders, including Senate President Steve Morris. Funds remaining in the PACs treasury would have to be disbursed to the Republican Party, returned to donors or used for other purposes when the organization ceased to exist. Morris was ousted in 2012 in an election cycle that swept conservative Republicans into power. The bill was introduced during the 2013 session but failed to advance out of committee. Future PACs would have to be a subgroup of the state party.
port. A court filing Tuesday seeks a hearing on the governments request for restrictions on materials provided to lawyers for 58-year-old avionics technician Terry Loewen. Prosecutors also want the case designated as complex, which would ease concerns about a speedy trial. Loewen was arrested last month following an undercover operation. He has pleaded not guilty to charges including attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction and attempted material support to al-Qaida. Prosecutors say the defense has mistakenly asserted in opposing the requested restrictions that most of the evidence will consist of Loewens conversations with undercover agents.
Two Kansas teenagers found in Kansas City

ANDOVER Police say two southeast Kansas teenagers who hadnt been seen since Monday were found safe in Kansas City. Zachary Furechting and Alanna Ardanche, both 15, voluntarily left Andover Central High School Monday.

Further details were not immediately available.
Kansas bill would require documentation of students

TOPEKA A Kansas legislator wants the state to count and report the number of children in public schools who might be living in the country illegally. Rep. Allan Rothlisberg, a Republican from Grandview Plaza, introduced a bill on Tuesday that he said would help determine how much taxpayer money is spent to educate children who are not lawfully living in the country. I would prefer we spend tax dollars on citizens and not on illegal aliens, he said. The bill would require a school board to ask for proof of lawful presence when a child enrolls for the first time in a public school. The proof would be a birth certificate, Social Security card or other document, The Lawrence Journal-World reported. The State Department of Education would gather the information and publish a record of the number of children who didnt provide the proof, and the average per pupil school finance cost. Rothlisberg said a child who didnt have the proper documentation would not be barred from enrolling in school and no child would be publicly identified. The executive director of the Sunflower Community Action, which works on immigration and education issues, criticized
Kansans celebrate statehood, dedicate Capitol

TOPEKA Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback has formally saluted the revamped Kansas Statehouse, dedicating the buildings renovation to what he called the glory of God and the people of the great state of Kansas. Brownback was joined at the Capitol Wednesday by historical re-enactors, current and former legislators and hundreds of Kansas residents to formally dedicate the updated building on the 153rd anniversary of statehood. Brownbacks remarks were followed by a 19-gun salute and the cutting of cake. The 13-year renovation cost nearly $330 million and included new ventilation and electrical systems, replacement of the roof and dome, and construction of a visitor center. The project was financed with bonds.
Lawrence considers how to pay for landfill cleanup

LAWRENCE Lawrence officials are studying how to pay up to $1 million to clean up a newly discovered landfill at the former Farmland Industries fertilizer plant. The Lawrence JournalWorld reports the city is working to convert the former plant site into a nearly 400-acre business park. The covered landfill was found a few months ago. Public works director Chuck Soules said the city is working with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment on the cleanup. Soules says the landfill isnt known to contain hazardous materials and holds mostly old office equipment, construction materials and other debris.

Mother is disgusted with 40-year-old daughter

Dear Annie: I have a 40-year-old daughter who is lazy. When she injures herself, has surgery or is sick, I wait on her like shes a baby. But I recently needed surgery myself, and she has no interest in helping me at all. A while back, I hired someone to clean her bedroom. It took two days. It was absolutely disgusting. Now that I cant pick up after her, its getting bad again. If I say anything to her, she throws a tantrum. Im getting too old for this. Cant Take the Arguments Dear Cant: Youre too old? Your daughter is 40 and still lives at home and expects her mother to clean her room. We do not understand parents who tacitly encourage their children to behave like babies and treat parents like servants and then complain when they do. Unless your daughter is incapable of holding a job and living independently, tell her its time she found a place of her own. At the very least, insist that she pay you rent. Do not clean her room. Close the door and let her deal with her own mess. Dear Annie: My husband is an account executive for a large company. He earns a good salary and travels frequently on business. He has to pay all of his expenses out of his own pocket and then submit expense reports for reimbursement. He is supposed to submit the forms at the end of each month for payment at the end of the following month. Its tight for us, but tolerable. Heres the problem. For whatever reason, the expense checks are often not given out on time. Sometimes my husband has to wait three or four months before being reimbursed. These are not $40 lunches. We are talking about hundreds of dollars of airline and hotel expenses, plus entertaining and feeding clients. Over four months, that can turn into thousands of dollars. Please dont misunderstand. I realize were lucky to make a good living. But we are not superwealthy. We have two kids in college and medical bills for my mother, and frankly, were not in the position to loan my husbands company all of this money with no interest. My husband is always

quick to defend the company, saying they didnt get the information on time or the person writing the checks was on vacation. I think hes afraid of rocking the boat. Is there anything I can do? Not the Companys Bank Dear Bank: Are you certain your husband is submitting his expenses on time? He could be telling you its the companys fault to cover his own tardiness. It is also possible the company is having its own cash-flow problems and the late checks are only the tip of the iceberg. Nonetheless, it is your husbands responsibility to handle this. Surely, he cannot be the only one who is having this particular problem. Perhaps he and other coworkers in the same situation could approach the boss together and find out what is going on. Dear Annie: This is in response to Not a Lawyer, who questioned why attorneys seem unwilling to give free legal advice. I come from a family of lawyers and doctors. I learned that none would give free professional advice. The reason is twofold: First, the majority of questions can only be answered by it depends on the situation. Second is the possibility of being sued for malpractice. You have no idea how many confused people have misunderstood a professionals opinion, especially when given in a casual setting with little or no case history. I have yet to hear of a chef being sued for malpractice because he advised how to prepare a steak. Been There, Wont Do It

Recently, Boy Scouts from Troop 41 traveled to the Kansas Cosmosphere in Hutchinson to earn one of the newest merit badges, Robotics. The scouts were required to assemble a robot, attached various sensors and controllers, then use a special computer program to write the instructions the robot would use to function on its own, as if on a remote mission to Mars. The robot had to function with only the program written for it. The scouts had an opportunity to test their robot to see if the instructions were correct, then make adjustments. Later they saw a movie in an IMAX theater, and toured the museum and space craft artifacts. During the class the scouts got to make ice cream using milk, cream, sugar and liquid nitrogen. The scouts enjoyed the entire day, and will return to earn their Engineering merit badge next.

Frank Muth with Fort Riley talked about structure changes on post and that Fort Riley is now thought of as a plum assignment by Army soldiers Courtney Dunbar is an EDC consultant and moderated the meeting. She talked about regional economic development and the increasing relevance of that. Communities used to work with a company to get them to relocate, and now that is all done by site selectors. She said communities must be industrial site prepared and have shovelready sites. That means sites are located, they are available for sale with no zoning issues, infrastructure is in place, and we can respond quickly. Susan said we need public/private partnerships to obtain funds and aid in economic development. Transportation was another topic and they talked about regional transportation issues. The new Metropolitan Planning Organization, or MPOs, main role is to identify and promote those possible transportation solutions. Another topic was developing a workforce that can meet the needs of the target industries and how to implement technical training in schools. A Work Ready Certification is a must for the area. They want to make trades sexy. Regional branding was another topic and how the region can become relevant. NBAF will be a game changer and we need to position ourselves to capitalize on the opportunities. Ray will have the program next month. Remember to sell, sell, sell those pancake tickets. It is coming up March 1.

Helen and Lawrence have been married 58 years. Lawrence has served as Second Vice President and President of the Optimist Club, and was named Optimist of the Year in 1994 and 2003.

Lead by Courtney Dunbar the groups were open in what they see as obstacles and opportunities in working together as a region. Trust between the various communities seemed much improved from previous retreats.

Healthcare Foundation successful 2013

FROM PAGE ONE/NEWS WALKER

Continued from Page 1A
address it in his email, some of the recent rumors have involved an audit requested in November by School Board member Carolyn Gaston regarding the use of USD 475 credit cards. However, that audit revealed no major findings. Last week, prior to Walkers retirement announcement, School Board President Ferrell Miller and Gaston indicated the audit, which was obtained by The Daily Union, was intended to verify existing district credit card use policies and procedures were being followed. We just wanted to know where we were at that point, so we could ensure foundation was thankful for donations from the public. If they didnt support the hospital and health care in our community, we wouldnt have the numbers, she said. For 2014, one of the goals is to seek new partnerships with businesses and others in the community to involve them with events as attendees or sponsors. You never know what challenges are going to be out there tomorrow, she said. You just have to be ready to embrace it and finance. Montgomery-Matney joined the foundation in 1996. The balance sheet was more than $2.1 million. Since then, more than $6.6 million has been returned to GCH, the community and the school district. During the meeting, MontgomeryMatney said she plans to retire in 2016. with those people to gauge their interest in a possible campaign, what their visions are for Junction City and how everyone can work together to accomplish common goals. Were going to say, If we get this thing right, will you be with us? Will you be one of the leaders? Hinson said. RDA also will create an estimate and goal for how much Junction City could raise. The fundraiser could be a signature move for the chamber, which many are hoping can prove its consolidation two years ago will pay off. The comment that (Hinson) made was, OK, youve consolidated this chamber. What are you going to do with it? board member Mark Ediger said while the the policies were being followed, Gaston said. The USD 475 Board of Education still must approve Walkers retirement at the Feb. 3 meeting. Then, the search will be on for the new superintendent, according to Miller. The Kansas Association of School Boards is expected to help guide USD 475 through the process of selecting a new superintendent. Miller indicated he appreciated what Walker has done for the district, and wished him well. Walkers first two orders of business, upon retirement, will be to sleep in for a month, and to appreciate the snow. As a workaholic, though, getting used to retirement will be a challenge. Going from 200 miles an hour to zero will be difficult, he said.

After racking up more than $400,000 from fundraising and donations in 2013, the Geary County Healthcare Foundation is looking forward to another successful year. Jolana Montgomery-Matney, the foundations executive director, presented a yearly report Tuesday to the Geary Community Hospital (GCH) Board of Trustees. The year was far greater than I had anticipated, Montgomery-Matney said. The purpose of the foundation is to raise money for the support of health care programs in Geary County and GCH. At the end of 2013, the foundation had a balance of more than $5 million, an increase of more than $136,000 from the previous year. More than $370,000 in donations assisted GCH in 2013. Much of that
money was used for the construction for the Rago Radiology department for a new MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scanner. Their annual Holiday Glitz raised more than $50,000 for improvements to the hospitals Martha K. Hoover Womens Health Center. The foundation also raised money for several organizations outside the community as well. Its 14th annual Fall Classic Golf Tournament raised $34,457 for an athletic trainer and concussion management software for USD 475 and St. Xavier Catholic School. Some of the groups that benefited from the foundation included Junction Citys Public Works and Recreation departments, and the generation networking ICARE program. The foundation also helped with Delivering Change: Healthy Moms Healthy Babies, a program established with the purpose of improving maternal/fetal and infant health. Montgomery-Matney said the

He said he couldnt sleep after hearing Hinsons enthusiasm when he spoke the first time. Wednesday, Kitchenss opinion hadnt changed. Im all for it, he said. The time is right. Hinson said he believes Junction City and the entire region stands to gain from major economic development opportunities. This region will be successful with or without NBAF, he said. NBAF will be the icing on the cake. Hinson believes Junction City simply has to be ready. I think at some point in time, youve got to figure
out are you going to sit on the sidelines or are you going to get in the game, he said. RDA has a track record in Kansas that includes two fundraising campaigns in Manhattan, one in Topeka and the latest in Pottawatomie County. Combined, those campaigns have raised $12.5 million. Each of his Kansas campaigns exceeded its fundraising goal. Campaigns in Manhattan raised $2.2 and $2.7 million, while the Pottwatomie County campaign raised $1 million. Chamber CEO Tom Weigand said those communities recommended Hinson. Theyre all saying, Youve got to do this. This guys produced, Weigand said. It just seems to me
weve got to do this. We can do it. Campaigns typically run about nine to 10 months, Hinson said, but donors pledge a certain amount per year for five years. Funds from the campaigns are used for economic and community development purposes. Hinson said the key is to show donors a return on investment. We have the car, were ready to drive, chamber board chair Wendy KingLuttman told Hinson. We just need to know where were going. The next step is for the board to determine a list of about 125 people as part of the study. Hinson said that list will then be whittled down to about 75 people. During the study, RDA will conduct interviews
I think at some point in time, youve got to figure out are you going to sit on the sidelines, or are you going to get in the game?
Regional Development Associates
directors discussed whether to move forward with the study. This is what weve got to do with it. If the chamber should decide to go forward with a campaign after the study, Hinson and RDA would lead the efforts to secure financial pledges from various sources. In Junction City, most of those funds likely would be from private sources. But before that step is reached, chamber leaders may have to discuss the $30,000 price tag with city and Geary County officials to get their blessings on the decision. We have the money there, its just outside of the budget, board member Ty Arneson said. Weigand also said city officials in the past suggested they may help support a feasibility study of this nature through economic development reserves. If thats no longer the case, he said the Economic Development Commission has enough funds available to cover the cost. We have the funds, one way or another, to do this, Weigand said.

Junction City looks to find its stride at the Firebird Classic

In the midst of a four-game slide, the pressure has begun to accumulate on the Junction City girls basketball teams shoulders. Blue Jays coach Nate Parks has noticed. So he wants his players to focus only on what they can control when Junction City (3-7) begins the Firebird Winter Classic tournament against Leavenworth at Lawrence Free State today at 3 p.m., and let the rest fall by the wayside. Were trying to take it one day at a time and make sure were getting better each day, Parks said. Were trying to get away from the wins and losses and focus on the heart and effort. If we play with heart and effort, the wins and losses will take

I think as a whole program, we put too much pressure on that Highland Park game that we needed that as a guaranteed win and we put too much pressure on ourselves, he said. And so were trying to get better each day instead of worrying about the wins and losses. Junction City will face a stern test when they take the court against Leavenworth. The Blue Jays opponents enter the contest with a perfect 10-0 record. Theyre big, theyre fast and theyre going to give us a Please see Girls, 3B

The members of the Junction City boys basketball team who werent participating in the five-on-five full court scrimmage created a wall along mid-court. But this wall was anything but sedentary. The players jumped up and down, chanting the beats to popular sports pump-up songs such as the White Stripes Seven Nation Army and calling to their teammates on the floor. The noise was an attempt to simulate as much of a game atmosphere as they could produce in practice. It spilled onto the court. When someone made a play, they would run up to that wall and let out an outburst of emotion. Weve hyper-emphasized the importance of having energy,

come around you see these guys running around and giving each other the business because we need to have that passion. The passion was something missing from the Blue Jays at the Valley Center tournament last week, where the team finished last. We learned weve got to talk, thats a huge thing, Junction City guard Tanner Lueker said. Because no one was talking in the whole gym, it was just silent. And weve got to create our own energy by talking. Battle plans to increase his rotation as well in the upcoming games in an attempt to keep his players operating at the highest level. By opening up the competition for playing time, he has forced an increased intensity from the whole team.

With Serena Williams and Sloane Stephens pulling out because of injuries, the U.S. Fed Cup team will field an inexperienced roster of Madison Keys, Alison Riske, Christina McHale and Lauren Davis against Italy. The first-round matches are Feb. 8-9 at the Public Auditorium in Cleveland. Keys is the highest-ranked member of the U.S. team at 37th. She, Riske and Davis will make their Fed Cup debuts. The U.S. Tennis Association announced its team Wednesday, saying that the No. 1-ranked Williams has a back injury, and No. 18 Stephens is out with a wrist problem. Italy also will be without its top two players, No. 7 Sara Errani and No. 14 Roberta Vinci. Instead the visitors roster is No. 45 Karin Knapp, No. 84 Camila Giorgi, Nastassja Burnett and Alice Matteucci.

Spradling huge for K-State in 66-58 win against Texas Tech

B Y E THAN P ADWAY
MANHATTAN Panic began to creep into Bramlage Coliseum. It could be heard in the desperate pleas that rang out in the form of fans voices. Kansas States once double-digit lead against Texas Tech had all but dissipated in the second half. And the Wildcats couldnt force themselves into any sort of rhythm on offense. With a little more than five minutes remaining and K-State leading 50-47, Wildcat senior Will Spradling drove from the wing around the Texas Tech defense.
He kept moving when he reached the basket, first under then he kept running until he was a step past the rim. Instead of sending the ball out to the perimeter, he outstretched his right arm with the ball and sent it back behind his head, off the glass and into the basket. Texas Tech never came within one possession after that and the Wildcats sent the visitors back to Lubbock, Tecas with a 66-58 loss. I think (Will)s a little more relaxed and trying to enjoy the last part of his season and senior year, Kansas State coach Bruce Weber said at his postgame press conference of his guards Please see K-State, 6B

LAWRENCE Just minutes after Andrew Wiggins put No. 6 Kansas on his back, scoring six of his career-high 29 points in the defining moment of the game, Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg offered a glowing assessment of the star freshman. You can tell hes oozing with confidence, Hoiberg said Wednesday night after his 16th-ranked Cyclones lost 92-81, and thats scary. The nations No. 1 recruit, Wiggins has finally started to live up to his hype. He matched his 27-point performance in a win over TCU last weekend with a dunk that gave Kansas an 81-72 lead with just under 3 minutes remaining, and then added a couple free throws for his career high. The freshman hit four 3-pointers and finished 10 of 16 from the field. Im just starting to feel more comfortable, Wiggins said. It helped that he didnt have to carry the load himself.

Thunder erase early 18-point hole, top Heat 112-95

B Y T IM REYNOLDS
Associated Press
MIAMI Down by 18 points midway through the opening quarter, Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder looked well on their way to witnessing a rout. Thats exactly what happened. And they enjoyed every moment. Durant remained sizzling with 33 points, Serge Ibaka added 22 and the Thunder roared back from an abysmal start they trailed 22-4 early to embarrass the Miami Heat 112-95 on Wednesday night, erasing that big deficit out of the gate by outscoring the twotime defending champions by 43 points over a 33-minute span. They were ready for us to come in and play, Durant said. They hit some tough shots early on, a few 3s, and we didnt panic. We just tried to stay together and thats what we did. Our bench was great in getting us back in that game. The Thunder led by as many as 25, and shot 16 for 27 from 3-point range. Miami was 3 for 19 from beyond the arc. Durant has now scored at least 30 points in 12 straight games, matching the leagues longest such streak since Tracy McGrady did it in 14 consecutive outings in the 2002-03 season. The Thunder extended their winning streak to nine, inching them closer to Indiana in the race for the leagues best record. And the Oklahoma City bench outscored Miamis reserves 39-21, with Jeremy Lamb scoring 18 and Derek Fisher going 5 for 5 from 3-point range for his 15 points. Theres no running away from it, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. Other than the first eight minutes of the game they outclassed us tonight. They absolutely deserved this win. LeBron James scored 34 points for Miami, his 1-on-1 duel with Durant not really amounting to much on a night where the Heat allowed 25 points off turnovers and blew an 18-point lead for just the fourth time since he, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh became teammates nearly four years ago. Bosh scored 18 points and Wade added 15 for Miami.
Miami Heat forward LeBron James puts pressure on Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant in Miami, Wednesday.
We played well to start the game, James said. We played well all the way until like the second quarter. From that point on they did what they want to do. Much of the buzz going into the night was about the MVP race, and how this might be the season that Durant finally catches James for the leagues top individual award. Head-to-head, they werent separated by much. But for just the fourth time opening quarter, Bosh in 17 meetings between made a pair of free throws their teams, Durant came to make it 22-4. out on top.

The third quarter, Durant and the Thunder put it away. Durant and James seemed to be playing a little game of Can you top this? in that period, both finishing with 12 points in the 12 minutes. The difference was, Durant was getting plenty of help, and James wasnt getting much. Rucker Park, thats what was going through my head, Durant said, refer-

Said James: Its fun competition. Its been a while since I was able to do something like that. Fisher connected on a 3-pointer to end the quarter, pushing Oklahoma Citys margin to 16, and the Heat had no answers in the fourth. We have some work to do, Spoelstra said. Were like everybody else in the league. Nobody is infallible. We have some things to improve on. We know the things we have to improve on. Were not there yet. NOTES: Fisher made five 3-pointers, total, when the Heat faced the Thunder in the 2012 NBA Finals. ... Shug McGaughey, who trained last years Kentucky Derby winner Orb, was part of the sellout crowd, along with Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera. ... Oklahoma City shot 14 free throws in the third quarter, the most by any Heat opponent in that period all season. ... The Heat fell to 7-12 this season when allowing more than 100 points. Theyre 25-1 when holding teams under 100. ... The Thunder are 8-0 on the road against Eastern Conference opponents.

rebounds, and Naadir Tharpe finished with 12 points and 12 assists for the Jayhawks (164, 7-0 Big 12), who won their seventh straight game. Wayne Selden had 11 points and five assists. Im not surprised at all because we got prepared to play these games, Tharpe said. It was a matter of time until everyone just went out there and started to play. Georges Niang led the Cyclones (15-4, 3-4) with 24 points. DeAndre Kane added 22 points and Melvin Ejim, battling foul trouble much of the game, finished with 18 points and eight rebounds. Iowa State started the season with 14 straight wins, but has now dropped four of its last five. That includes a 77-70 loss to the Jayhawks earlier this month in Ames. If theyre hitting shots like that, Hoiberg said of the Jayhawks, thats going to be a tough, tough team to beat. The Jayhawks held on despite a shortened bench. Forward Tarik Black missed his second game with an ankle injury while guard Conner Frankamp did not suit up because of a knee injury. It didnt seem to matter early in the game. The Jayhawks roared to a 30-14 lead in the opening minutes, dominating on the offensive glass and taking advantage of rapidly retreating Cyclones on the defensive boards. Just as quickly, though, Iowa State whittled into the lead. The comeback began with a jam off an alley-oop pass by Ejim, and picked up momentum when the Cyclones hit 3-pointers on four straight trips down court. By the time Monte Morris finished off the run, done mostly while Wiggins sat on the bench, the lead had been trimmed to 37-34. Ive been in this building enough as a player, as a coach, a scout, and it happens pretty much every game, they come out and hit shots early and you have to withstand it, you have to withstand the runs, Hoiberg said. I give our guys credit for clawing back in the game. The Cyclones pulled even for the first time when Kane buried a 3-pointer out of halftime, but the Jayhawks responded with 11 straight points to regain control. Wiggins did most of the work, hitting a long jumper and a scooping layup while also getting to the free throw line. By that point, a packed crowd that included Kansas City Royals Billy Butler and Jeremy Guthrie and Grammy nominated musician Trey Songz was on its feet. Iowa State made one more charge. Ejim scored to draw within 73-69 and force Kansas coach Bill Self to call a timeout, and Niang drained

run for our money, Parks said. But Ive told these girls that I believe 100 percent that if we have the heart and effort, we have the ability to beat anyone in the state. Depending on what happens in the first game, the Blue Jays will then play either Maize or Hutchinson in the second game of the season. Parks said hes looking to go 3-0 this weekend, but more important will be how his team plays. (My expectation) for this weekend is to play with confidence, Parks said. And I told them were not looking at the scoreboard, were not looking at the wins and losses anymore. If were putting our maximum effort out, thats all I can ask for. Parks thinks if his team can string together three solid games, it could provide the boost the team needs to escape the rut. And as the calen-

a 3-pointer moments later to make it a one-point game. Embiid responded with a thunderous dunk, and after Kane turned it over at the other end, the Cyclones intentionally fouled Wiggins on a fast break. He made both free throws, and then added a putback off Embiids miss to make it a four-point trip. That was a pretty big call, Niang said of the intentional foul. Not saying it was a bad call or anything, but thats where they took off. Wiggins added a run-out dunk after another turnover to give the Jayhawks an 81-72 lead, and the defending Big 12 champions coasted the rest of the way to its 18th win in 19 meetings with Iowa State. We gave ourselves a chance, Hoiberg said, and at the end of the day, we gave ourselves an opportunity in as tough an environment as were going to play in.
dar turns to February, focus shifts more toward getting ready for the postseason. It doesnt matter what your record is in substate, Parks said. Its just how well youre playing at that time so were definitely taking it one game at a time, but were trying to get better each day so at substate were at our maximum and were trying to go to state. Parks said seniors Kori Kamm and Bre Waterman as well as sophomore Kealee Rains have really focused on keeping practices positive during the rough patch. And he thinks staying positive will be key to getting things turned around. A lot of our leadership on the team has stepped up and helped us come to gether, Parks said. Its real easy to get down after you lose a couple of games and weve had our leadership step up and be very positive, try to pull the girls together and keep it positive.

progression. And it helps to have Jevon (Thomas) and Shane (Southwell) delivering. At the beginning of the year, once he passed it, we had nobody to pass it back to him and no one really was screening. It didnt help that K-State junior Thomas Gipson couldnt stay out of foul trouble. The Wildcats most intimidating player was forced to the bench with his fourth foul with more than 10 minutes remaining in the game. Texas Tech found openings in the Wildcats defense, exploiting it for eight offensive rebounds in the second half. They started running a lot more pick and rolls, Spradling said. And we got stuck with the guards on bigs a lot more and it caused a rebounding problem.
Kansas State guard Will Spradling is covered by Texas Tech guard Robert Turner in Manhattan,Tuesday.
However, K-State sophomore D.J. Johnson filled the void left by Gipson. He outworked the taller Red Raiders frontcourt for the rebound that set up Spradlings reverse layup. Johnson recorded four of his team-high seven rebounds while Gipson sat out with four fouls. I thought D.J. was really good, he played so hard he was tired, Weber said. Thats what we ask the guys, youve got to play till exhaustion. If youre saving yourself, youre not doing whats right for the team. Weber said it was the play of the bench that saved the game for his team. Junior Nino Williams paced the Wildcats early with nine of his 13 points coming in the first quarter. K-State needed the boost from the bench, as leading scorer Marcus Foster failed to get into a groove all game. Foster, along with fellow start-

ers Gipson and Southwell, totaled just 13 points on the night. Weber said some of his starters lacked energy. We cant let offense dictate what our defense is, its got to be our foundation, he said. And I just think some guys had their heads hanging instead of playing, youve got to go and make the next play. But down the stretch it was Spradling locking down the game. He made 7-8 free throws, including four in the final minute as K-State converted its final 12 from the charity stripe. I feel a lot more relaxed when I shoot, Spradling said. I felt like I was rushing it before. And at the free-throw line I feel Ive really slowed myself down and thats helped out a lot. Kansas State improves to 15-6 on the season and 5-3 in Big 12 play. The Wildcats travel to West Virginia on Saturday.

going hard so its been good for us. Junction City (4-7) will play host to Highland Park Friday night. The Scots, who defeated the Blue Jays 62-39 earlier this season, are coming off their first loss of the season. Battle expects the visitors to come out looking for blood and fire. I think theyre going to come out and man us, he said. I think theyre going to be very aggressive. Weve got to take care of the basketball and weve got to
backdoor it. Weve got to cut hard when we see double teams. Weve got to take care of the ball, show hands and be fundamentally sound, thats where we start. The Blue Jays dont want to let the Scots intimidate them. The team knows the importance of keeping the energy up for the entire 32 minutes of the game in order to have the opportunity to pull off the upset. Weve got to stay focused, come ready to play, dont play scared because they only have one loss, Lueker said. Weve just got to come focused and play hard and worry about us.

Parsons, Harden-less Rockets beat Mavs 117-115

B Y S CHUYLER D IXON
Associated Press
DALLAS Chandler Parsons and the Houston Rockets made it two straight over a Texas rival without James Harden. Parsons scored 26 points, and the Rockets almost blew a 12-point lead in the final 4 minutes before hanging on for a 117-115 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night. Seven Rockets scored in double figures on a night when they had just 10 players in uniform. Dwight Howard had 21 points, and Jeremy Lin added 18 and seven assists. When hes out, we have a more balanced attack, Parsons said of Harden. We run our sets and get the best shot available. When hes not there, we dont go one-onone as much. The Mavericks cut a 12-point deficit with 4:08 remaining to just two and had a chance to win, but Jose Calderon missed a pair of 3-point tries in the final seconds. Dirk Nowitzki had 38 points and a season-high 17 rebounds, but was the only Dallas starter in double figures. We shouldnt be putting ourselves in those situations where were fighting back the whole game, Calderon said. Harden was out again with a bruised left thumb a night after Houston beat San Antonio to answer consecutive losses to Memphis. The win over the Spurs came in a season-high third straight game with fewer than 100 points, but the Rockets broke that streak on a pair of free throws by Parsons with 7:08 remaining. They were two big games for us, especially after losing two to Memphis, Parsons said. The Rockets, who were also without centers Omer Asik and Greg Smith and forward Francisco Rodriguez, took a double-digit lead with a 9-0 run midway through the fourth quarter. Lin, who also grabbed seven rebounds, had a pair of layups to get the run going. Patrick Beverley finished it with a 3-pointer that made him the seventh double-figure scorer and put Houston up 107-95. Dallas was still down seven with 1:20 remaining when Vince Carter hit a 3-pointer, and Nowitzki made two free throws with 22 seconds left. Calderon knocked away the inbound pass, and the ball went off Houstons Aaron Brooks after he chased it down. With a chance to tie or win, Nowitzki was working for a shot before deciding to pass to Calderon. His first try from 3 was short and he missed again just before the buzzer after running down the rebound. We came over to double-team Dirk to make sure Dirk didnt beat us, Rockets coach Kevin McHale said. Calderon had a look, but fortunately he missed. Donatas Motiejunas had his first career double-double with 12 points and a career-high 13 rebounds for the Rockets. Houstons win split the four-game series between the teams and put the Rockets 4 1/2 games ahead of the Mavericks for second place in the Southwest Division. The Spurs are in front.
