At the Kansas State Fair, thousands
of people walked past the Geary
County Convention & Visitors booth,
taking a peep at what the heart of the
Flint Hills had to offer.Basically were ambassadors for
the community, so were talking to
people, answering questions and get-
ting them excited about our area,
Director Connie Hall said.Some of those visitors took time to
fill out surveys and CVB officials are
pleased with the outcome.
The majority of people from the
state fair, who are from all over Kan-sas, have great things to say about
Junction City, Assistant Director
Rick Dykstra said.
As a result, the CVB is working to
put together a discount program to
attract more people to the area. Many
responders said they would consider
visiting if discounts were offered for
lodging, meals and activities.
Hall said they have to examine the
idea and find businesses willing to
participate.Theyre more apt to go to a place if
they have discounts, Hall said.During the event, CVB officials
passed out 200 surveys and received a36 percent response from participants.
Different surveys were distributed for
people who visited and those who
have not.
The majority of the responses werepositive. Some of them were about
Junction Citys diversity, growth and

BYTHE DAILY
UNIONSTAFF
Alix Kunkle has joinedthe staff as the news edi-
tor at the Junction City
Daily Union.
I am excited to be a
part of the Daily Union
staff, he said Monday. I
look forward to being a
part of Montgomery Com-
munications, as
well as the Junc-
tion City commu-
nity as a whole. I
have been
impressed with
what the commu-
nity has to offer.
As part of his
new duties, Kunk-le will handle
many of the day-
to-day operations of The
Daily Union.
The position is different
than the one vacated by
Greg Doering who served
as the DU website editor.
In September, Doering
took the position as man-
aging editor at the Abilene
R e f l e c t o r - C h r o n i c l e ,
another Montgomery
Communications publica-
tion. The Daily Union edi-
torial staff has been short-
handed since that time
and with the arrival of
Kunkle is back at fullstrength.
We are very excited for
Alix to be here, DU man-
aging editor Lisa Seiser
said. He is going to be a
great addition to our news-
paper family and I believe
he will be a perfect fit
because of his previousexperience.
Before arriving in Junc-tion City, Kunkle spent
just less than three years
at the Leesville DailyLeader and Beauregard
Daily News in Louisiana.
His duties at the news-
papers included reporting
on events as they hap-pened, as well as
overseeing all edi-
torial content in the
newspapers on a
daily basis.Kunkle also spent
time covering
events at Fort Polk,
La.
He has held vari-
ous positions at thetwo newspapers
during his tenure there,
ascending from the posi-tion of reporter in 2011.
I plan to make sure the
Daily Union continues to
provide the community
with everything it needs toknow on a daily basis, both
in print and online, he
said. Before taking the
position in Louisiana,
Kunkle graduated fromCalifornia University of
Pennsylvania in Califor-
nia, Pa. in 2011 with a
bachelors degree in jour-
nalism.
He hails from Latrobe,Pa., roughly 40 miles
southeast of Pittsburgh.
Outside of work, Kunkle is
a Pittsburgh sports fanand also is a railroad his-
torian.

KANSAS CITY Fortyyears ago, within an hourpast midnight on Jan. 1,Danny Hogan entered theworld as the first baby ofKansas Citys new year.
I just hope he doesntsee hard times, hismother told The Stars
reporter and photogra-pher who came to theirbedside.
In the first eveningpaper of 1974, the babylifting his eyes to see thefaces of his parents gaveno clue to what was instore for his life.
A future quarter-back? his father, TomHogan, wondered aloud.
They couldnt knowthat Danny would beautistic, The Kansas CityStar reported.
This was the 1970s.Autism a spectrum ofdisorders with a range of
effects on brain develop-ment was poorlyunderstood and rarelydiagnosed.
Many child develop-ment specialists stillblamed what had beenlabeled refrigeratormothers or refrigera-tor parents for failing tonurture the emotionaland verbal skills missingin many autistic chil-dren.
Awareness of the dis-orders true genetic andneurological causes wasonly beginning toemerge.
So Tom Hogan waspeering into a barrenworld on the day, whenDanny was 2, that Tomrealized something waswrong.
He was babysitting achild near the same ageas Danny, and he saw avast difference in theirabilities to communicateand interact.
He didnt understand itand he didnt know wherehe could turn for help.
They walked alone outin the woods a couple ofdays later, Tom Hogan
said.And he determinedthen that he would acceptwhatever life was prepar-ing to deal them.

Legislators are meeting
in Topeka soon to make
crucial decisions for Kan-sans, and cutbacks contin-ues to be an issue.
The Geary County Com-mission met with local rep-resentatives and senators
to discuss matters such astax incentives.
That dialogue back andforth help me represent
Geary County better inTopeka, Sen. Jeff Long-bine (R-Emporia) said. I
always enjoy the opportu-nity to do that.
Others in attendanceincluded Rep. Allan Roth-lisberg (R-Grandview
Plaza), Sen. Tom Hawk(D-Manhattan) and Rep.
Tom Moxley (R-CouncilGrove).
Going into the session,
Longbine said the budgetand income will be a chal-lenge for the state.
How are we going tofund government at a prop-er level and provide servic-
es that the citizens of Kan-sas expect us to do? Long-bine said.
During the meeting,Longbine presented thecombined impact of two taxincentive bills, which wouldresult in the state losingabout $495 million in reve-nue.
According to projectionspresented by Moxley, fiscalyear 2014 begins with $680million.
Expected revenue total$5.85 billion, but approvedspending is about $5.96 bil-lion. That leaves a balance
of $573 million to begin fis-cal year 2015.For 2015, the preliminary
outlook for the budget is$6.12 billion and if that
expenditure amount isunchanged, the state wouldbe spending $203 millionmore than collected in rev-enue.
The ending balancewould drop to $370 million.
The biggest issue on thestate level is that were run-ning budget deficits for thefirst time in a number ofyears, Moxley said.
He said thats a result ofreductions to income tax.Income tax cuts went
largely to the high incomefolks and the consequence
of that has been majorshortfalls, Moxley said.
Longbine said most oftheir concerns revolvesaround their budget andlack of funding for servic-
es.We either cut back in
those services or we expectthe county to do more andthat puts tremendous pres-sure on the county commis-sions, Longbine said aboutcounty officials picking upservices or divertingresources. CommissionChair Ben Bennett agreedon the issue.
Each year we seem tofind that there more andmore dollars being cut, sotheres less money to spendat the local level, Bennettsaid.
Cuts in mental healthfunding was another topicof concern.
Thats very troublesometo the county and well do
whatever we can to avoidthat kind of situation mov-ing forward, Longbinesaid. Commissioner Flor-ence Whitebread believesits the state responsibility
to fund mental health facili-ties.
Its a tragic situation,Whitebread said about thecuts.
Another legislative issueis the push to restrict peo-ple from lobbying if theyreemployed by organizationsif they use tax money. Oneexample of this is the Kan-sas Association of Coun-ties. Hawk questioned thepossible consequences ofthis matter.
How do we protect theinterest of the local taxpay-er? he said.
Some of the other topicsdiscussed Kansas Depart-ment of Transportationprojects and educationfunding.
Commissioners meet with lawmakers to discuss upcoming issuesThe biggest issue onthe state level is thatwere running budget
deficits for the first
time in a number ofyears.

HARO LDOLMSTEADI S UN
MICKLE
By The Associated Press
NEW YORK The glitch-plagued rollout of Presi-dent Barack Obamashealth care overhaul wasthe top news story of 2013,followed by the BostonMarathon bombing and thedramatic papal changeoverat the Vatican, according toThe Associated Pressannual poll of U.S. editorsand news directors.
The saga of Obamac-are as the AffordableCare Act is widely known received 45 first-placevotes out of the 144 ballots
cast for the top 10 stories.The marathon bombingreceived 29 first-place votesand the papal transition 21.
Other strong contenderswere the bitter partisanconflict in Congress andthe leaks about NationalSecurity Agency surveil-lance by former NSA ana-lyst Edward Snowden.
Last year, the top storywas the massacre of 26 chil-dren and staff at an ele-mentary school in New-town, Conn.
That result came after arare decision by the AP tore-conduct the voting; the
initial round of ballotinghad ended Dec. 13, a daybefore the Newtown shoot-ing, with the 2012 electionat the top.
The first AP top-storiespoll was conducted in 1936,when editors chose theabdication of Britains KingEdward VIII.
Here are 2013s top 10 sto-ries, in order:
Health care overhaulThe White House had
hoped the Oct. 1 launch ofopen enrollment would be ashowcase for the upside ofObamas much-debatedoverhaul. Instead, the web-site became a symbol ofdysfunction, providing
Republicans and late-nightcomics with ammunition,and worrying the presi-dents Democratic allies.
The site graduallyimproved, but a wave ofcancellation notices frominsurers undercut Obamasoft-repeated promise thatpeople who liked their exist-ing coverage could keep it.
Boston Marathonbombing
In seconds, a scene of cel-ebration transformed intoone of carnage, as twobombs exploded near thefinish line of the BostonMarathon in April.
Three people were killedand more than 260 injured,including at least 16 wholost limbs.
Authorities soon identi-fied two suspects 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev,who died in a shootout withpolice, and his brother,Dzhokhar, 20, who facesmultiple charges, including17 that carry a possibledeath penalty.
Though jolted by thebombings and a subsequentlockdown, the city ralliedunder the slogan BostonStrong.
Vatican changeoverPope Benedict XVI
stunned Catholics aroundthe world with hisannouncement in Februarythat he would resign.
The cardinal elected tosucceed him, soon knownas Pope Francis, proceededto captivate many Catholicsand non-Catholics alikewith a new tone of open-ness, modesty and toler-ance.
Without challenging corechurch doctrine, he sug-gested it was time to rethinkpolicy on divorce, focusmore on serving the poor,
and devote less rhetoric tocondemnations of gay mar-
riage and abortion.
Divided CongressOpinion polls showed
Congress with historicallylow approval ratings, andthe key reason was seem-ingly intractable partisanconflict. Among the conse-quences were the harshautomatic spending curbsknown as sequestration,the partial shutdown of the
government in October, andbitterness in Senate afterthe Democrats used theirmajority to reduce theRepublicans ability to stallpresidential nominationsvia filibusters.
NSA spyingThe ripple effect contin-
ues, seven months after theworld learned of EdwardSnowden.
The former NSA analystleaked vast troves of secretdocuments detailing NSAsurveillance operations,including programs thatcollected Americans phonerecords and eavesdroppedon allied leaders.
After a stay in Hong
Kong, Snowden spent amonth in Moscows airportbefore obtaining asylum inRussia. The leaks haveroiled diplomacy, triggeredlawsuits and calls forreform, and promptedwarnings that terroristscould benefit from the dis-closures.
Gay marriageCapping decades of activ-
ism, the gay-rights move-ment won a monumentalvictory in June in the formof two Supreme Court deci-sions.
One cleared the way forending a ban on same-sexmarriages in California,the most populous state.
The other struck down a1996 law passed by Con-gress that banned federalrecognition of same-sexmarriages. In subsequentmonths, Hawaii, Illinoisand New Mexico boostedthe number of states allow-ing gay marriage to 17.
MandelaA freedom fighter, a
political prisoner, a states-
man revered for preachingreconciliation in a nationtorn by racial strife.
Nelson Mandela was allthat and more the icon ofthe anti-apartheid move-ment and South Africasfirst black president.
With his death at the ageof 95, his compatriots, worldleaders and countless otheradmirers mourned the loss
of a one-of-a-kind hero.Philippines TyphoonThere were dire warn-
ings beforehand, but thetoll wreaked by TyphoonHaiyan was still stunningin its scope after it struckon Nov. 8. More than 6,000
people died; hundreds moreremain missing.
SyriaThe death toll mounted
inexorably, past 120,000, asSyrias nearly 3-year-oldcivil warfare raged on withno signs of resolution.
The government ofBashar Assad did agree toeliminate its chemicalweapons, but prospects for
peace talks were complicat-ed by infighting amonganti-government rebels.Nearly 9 million Syrianshave been uprooted fromtheir homes, with many ofthem seeking refugeabroad.

section of Washington and Chestnut and I believewe will know early in 2013 what to expect there. Ialso predict work will start on that developmentand we will see completed buildings at that locationlater in 2013.
What happened Looks like I was right ontarget on that one. We have seen development,including a Starbucks, Qdoba, USAA and likely the
biggest coup, CVS Pharmacy at thecorner of Chestnut and Washing-ton.
2013 Prediction No. 2 Themuch discussed fiscal cliff willdrag the country into 2013. Thenational debt and deficit willbecome higher on the radar formost people as politicians in Wash-ington continue their inability towork through possible long-term
solutions.What happened All that occurred and some
things such as Fort Riley furloughs and a govern-ment shutdown added to the pain, especially in thisarea.
2013 Prediction No. 3 Kansas Sate Univer-sity, behind the efforts of Bill Snyder and CollinKlein will beat a more talented Oregon squad onJan. 3 in the Fiesta Bowl.
The Wildcats over the Ducks, 45-41.What happened Ugh. I am sorry all you
K-State fans. I was really rooting for the Wildcatsthat night. But, it wasnt meant to be.
Now that we have gone through my 2013 suc-cesses and failures, its time to reveal my 2014 pre-dictions.
2014 Prediction No. 1 Locally, the talk formonths has been about casino legislation going to
committee and being discussed at the state level.Approval would allow a casino to be built in thisarea, as the fifth Kansas casino. Much to my disap-pointment, I dont believe the bill will get out ofcommittee level in February. Despite efforts local-ly, it will die again, this time in 2014.
2014 Prediction No. 2 Already at a standstill,Congress and the president will get virtually noth-ing done in 2014. Actually, more will go back to theway it was a few years back, including Obamacarebeing put on hold.
2014 Prediction No. 3 Always a sports pre-diction ... sadly the Kansas City Chiefs and myGreen Bay Packers will not impact the NFL play-offs in the coming weeks. Both will fall in the Wild-card games this weekend. My hope for a Chiefs/Packers rematch of Super Bowl I will end verysoon.
So you all know, Im not off the hook on thesepredictions. One year from now, we will revisit mysuccesses and/or failures. I will fully hold myselfaccountable for these predictions.
Everyone, enjoy, and lets have a fabulous 2014.

Moderation and balanceBYJOHN S CHLAGECK
Kansas Farm Bureau
Its the New Year and like so many, Ihave vowed to shed those extrapounds. Losing weight is no easy
task. Expectations often exceed the willto lose this weight gradually during anextended period of time.
Today, there are as many diets outthere as there are people who attemptto stick to them. What it really boilsdown to is watching what we eat, calor-ic intake, and exercise. If we have the
discipline to do that, each of us canmeet our goals.Still, when it comes to exercise and
diet, myths are as plentiful as the calo-ries in a piece of pecan pie one of myfavorites by the way. To clear up someof these misconceptions, I visited witha nutrition specialist during the holi-days to set the record straight or atleast point me in the right direction.
One common myth and core ingredi-ent in several popular diets involveseating extra protein to build strongmuscles and rev up your metabolism.Today, most Americans, whether theyare weekend warriors (athletes) or not,take in plenty of protein from a normaldiet.
Protein powders and amino acid sup-
plements are unnecessary. That isunless you want to bulk up and looklike the former governor of Californiawhose most famous movie line was,Ill be back.
The only healthy and safe way to
increase the size and strength of mus-cles is to work out. Too much protein, ifnot burned as energy, turns to bodyfat.
Another myth would have us believethat sugary foods provide quick energy.While a candy bar, energy bar or softdrink before exercising may trigger aninsulin response, that causes a rapidpeak and then fall of blood sugar.
The most efficient source of energycomes from complex carbohydrates.That includes whole-grain breads andcereals, pasta, fresh fruits and vegeta-bles.
So what about the popular diets thatsuggest staying away from carbs alto-gether?
Not such a good idea. The real key toa healthy diet is moderation and bal-ance. It also includes a diverse, com-plete grouping of foods.
As for the so-called energy drinksand I wont mention even one of thoseflooding the convenience and super-market shelves, most of these are caf-feine, speed or some other stimulant.And we all know that speed kills, maimsor throws your body out of whack.
Vitamins and minerals do not con-tain energy. However, some vitaminshelp the body use energy.
Unless there is a deficiency, supple-
ments will not help performance. Tak-ing unneeded supplement may do moreharm than good. Too much vitamin Aor D can lead to side effects such asliver damage over time.
Another myth suggests thirst is a
good signal its time to take fluid.
Wrong.
Vigorous exercise can blunt the
bodys thirst mechanism. Drinking
plenty of liquids, especially water, is
important during exercise to prevent
dehydration. For every pound of weight
we lose through sweating, we need to
drink two cups of water, whether we
are thirsty or not.
The last myth, but one we cannot
forget, suggests that milk causes cot-
tonmouth. Nervousness and fluid loss,
not milk, make the mouth feel drybefore a game, match or other competi-
tion.
Drinking milk, water or other fluids
before exercising is essential. The body
needs to maintain its fluid levels dur-
ing a workout. Cold drinks, with the
exception of those containing alcohol,
are the ideal beverage during physical
activity because they help cool our bod-
ies.
Good luck and try to remember, los-
ing weight is not a sprint its a mara-
thon a long term commitment.

Work your fingers to the bone,whaddaya get?
BYGEORGEN IXONSHULER
Special to The Daily Union
In the 1980s, the late country singer,songwriter, and sometime actorHoyt Axton had a hit with a song
with that line. Anyone remember theanswer?
Bony fingers!For generations, weve been taught if
we work hard and play by the rules we
can be whatever we want, but it alwayshas been and always will be an emptypromise based on a lie.
One wonders whose fingers Davidand Richard Koch worked to the bone.Certainly not their own. Any time a
rich man tells you he got rich throughhard work, ask him whose.
Some get all maudlin about thesethings, imagining shiny white nuclear
families basking in the Stars andStripes standing proudly, but its allhooey and always was.
Its a rigged game. The manipulatorswant you to hate the poor so much youdont realize how the rich are doing a
number on you. Dont buy it.Some attribute The American
Dream mythos to a Unitarian Minis-ter named Horatio Alger who wrotestories about poor boys who worked
hard and made good. The rest of thestory is that Alger was really a pedo-phile who assaulted dozens of boys.What a fitting metaphor for such a biglie.
In 1983, the late English professorPaul Fussell wrote a book called Class:
A Guide through the American Status
System which examined the Ameri-can aversion to class consciousnessand the truth that you are what you are
and no amount of polish can changethat. Unfortunately for Fussell, it cameout at the same time as Charles Mur-rays The Bell Curve, a racist screedwhich blamed the underclass for theirown misery because theyre just infe-rior, and Fussells work was denouncedside by side with Murrays, even thoughFussells was tongue in cheek and won-derfully subversive.
Fussells goal was to make an Ameri-can version of a Jilly Coopers Classwhich examined the seemingly confus-ing British class system.
Fussells answer was that our classsystem (and, yes, we have one) waseven more confusing than the Brits.
He postulated we actually have ninesocial classes. At the top and the bot-tom were those he called the Top outof sight and Bottom out of sight, thetop being the very rich who hide behindgates or else in plain sight, and the bot-tom, those tucked away in prisons,state mental health facilities, and nurs-ing homes. Both were similar to thosejust above and below them, the Desti-tute and Upper Class respectively,just not visible.
That leaves the five Fusselian classesin the middle, which are the threeProle classes (Proletarian) Low,Mid-, and High, Middle class, and UpperMiddle class. The divider was mostlycollege: proles mostly didnt go, mid-dles went to places like Kansas State,Washburn, UCLA, Notre Dame, and so
forth, while Upper Middles went to
those exclusive places like Harvard
and Yale.
To Fussell, you were stuck with the
class you grew up in rising and sink-ing was impossible, even by intermar-
riage which only highlighted your con-
trast with your spouse.
Sure, he said, there were always peo-
ple who slipped through the cracks
struggling middles like Bill Clinton,
and declining Upper Middles like his
successor in the White House, but
everyone knew just where they came
from.
That is even more apparent in enter-
tainment, where we have people like
the child of Polish immigrants, Martha
Helen Kostyra, who christened herself
Martha Stewart and pretended to be
Upper Middle and in contrast, the
yuppies of the Robertson clan of Duck
Dynasty, who grew their hair out andput on camouflage to play rednecks on
TV. But eventually the truth came out
about both Martha and the Robert-
sons.
Fussell was in some regard a fussy
professor type, but after seeing how he
concluded his book, I wasnt surprised
to later find out he was also a nudist.
He advocated treating all as persons of
dignity and worth regardless of where
they came from, and what else can you
do when nobody has on clothes that
reveal their class origins?

NEWS TO KNOW
News from around KansasUniversity sees
growth in private,research funds
TOPEKA University
of Kansas Chancellor Ber-
nadette Gray-Little saidthe universitys efforts to
raise higher education
funds from private donorsand research grants con-
tinue at a brisk pace, but
she cautions that state
support is still critical.
Gray-Little tells TheTopeka Capital-Journal
that while outside research
grants hit record levels,
further gains may be dif-
ficult because of federal
budget constraints.
The university has
recorded $957 million inprivate funds toward its
goal of raising $1.2 billion
by 2016 as part of its Far
Above campaign.
Research funding topped
$171 million in 2012, com-pared with $162 million a
year earlier.Gray-Little, who has
been chancellor since
2009, said state support for
higher education helps
with fundraising efforts
by demonstrating a part-
nership for improving the
university.
Mans death showsdifficulty of helping
homelessWICHITA A homeless
man who may have frozento death under a bridge in
Wichita had refused offers
of help because he didnt
want to be confined in a
shelter, police and home-
less advocates said.
The 61-year-old manwas found dead Sunday
afternoon. Police said he
apparently froze to death
when temperatures
dropped from the mid-50s
to 18 degrees overnight
Saturday.
Police and others whowork with the homeless
arent releasing the mans
name until they can con-
firm his identity throughfingerprints.
An autopsy will deter-
mine the official cause of
death.
He was the 10th home-less person known to have
died in Wichita this year,
The Wichita Eagle report-
ed.
Police and service pro-
viders had repeatedly
asked the man to go to a
shelter but he refused,
said Officer Nate Schwi-
ethale, part of the police
departments three-officer
Homeless Outreach Team
that has found housing for
more than 100 people since
February.
He was resistant,
Schwiethale said. He
didnt want to be con-
fined.
Several homeless people
left the encampment
months ago and found
housing, Schwiethale said,
but the man couldnt be
persuaded to leave.
Its tragic, Schwietha-
le said. He did have some
income, through Social
Security. He had enough
money to live in housing.
We could have tried to get
him an apartment.
The man had a drinking
problem, said Schwietha-le.
A lot of them just dont
want to be around other
people, said Tom Myers,
who oversees a mens shel-
ter at the Union Rescue
Mission. For whatever
reason, they just want to
stay out. They feel boxed
in if they come to a shel-
ter.
He said the shelter had
room on Saturday night
when the wind chill was
between zero and 5 above.
Little can be done when
a homeless person refuses
help because being home-
less isnt a crime, Schwi-ethale said.
Wichita woman whowas robbed indrive-thru dies
WICHITA A 43-year-
old Wichita woman, who

Officials at Via Christi
Hospital St. Francis say
43-year-old Danielle Zim-
merman died Monday.
She was hospitalized
after being found uncon-scious at a Taco Bell res-

stopped in the drive-thru
lane.
Wichita police Lt. Doug
Nolte says Zimmerman
suffered a possible brain
aneurysm.
When her husband
arrived, he noticed that
her purse, phone and wed-

Teen arrested inHutchinson church
break-insHUTCHINSON A
Hutchinson teenager is
facing charges after being
arrested in two church
burglaries.
The 17-year-old was
arrested Friday after a
custodian discovered him
at the First Church of
God. Nothing was report-ed stolen from that
church.
But police say the teen-
ager is also a suspect in
the theft of some cash
from Riverside Baptist
Church less than an hour
before the break-in at the
First Church of God.
The teen also is suspect-
ed of breaking into vehi-
cles in the past week.
Investigators say the
thefts apparently arent
related to a string of
church burglaries that hit
Hutchinson in 2012.

Kansas Statehouse
visitor center toopen Thursday
TOPEKA State and
local officials will hold a
ceremony this week to
mark the official opening

speak, and visitors will beoffered tours of new
exhibits lining the halls of
the Statehouse.
Workers are completing
a 13-year, nearly $330 mil-
lion renovation of the cap-
itol building.
The project has includ-

Kansas to check forvoter birth records
TOPEKA Kansas will
start combing through its
birth certificates within a
few weeks to whittle down
the list of voters with reg-
istrations on hold because
they havent complied
with the states proof-of-
citizenship requirement,
Secretary of State Kris
Kobach said.
Kobach told The Associ-
ated Press in an exclusive
interview that attorneys
for his office and the stateDepartment of Health and
Environment were meet-
ing Tuesday to finish work
on an agreement between
the two agencies.
The health depart-
ments Office of Vital Sta-
tistics maintains birth
certificates on people
born in Kansas.
Under the agreement,
the Office of Vital Statis-tics will check lists of pro-
spective voters against its
records to determine
whether it has birth cer-
tificates and notify the
secretary of states office
when it can verify match-
es, Kobach said Monday.
He said the checking
should begin by mid-Jan-uary.
The proof-of-citizenship
law took effect Jan. 1, 2013,
and requires new voters
to produce a birth certifi-
cate, passport or other
documentation when reg-
istering.
More than 19,300 regis-trations are on hold
because the voters havent
complied with the rule,
and they cannot legally
cast ballots until their cit-
izenship is verified.
Kobach said when its
determined through thechecking that prospective
voters have Kansas birthcertificates, their registra-
tions will be deemed com-
plete and theyll be noti-
fied by election officials.
Were looking for every
way that we can to help
people complete their reg-
istrations, he said. This
will help a lot of people.
He said he doesnt knowhow many people whose
registrations are on hold
have Kansas birth certifi-
cates and how many were
born in other states, regis-
tering in Kansas for the
first time after moving tothe state.
Kobach, a conservative
Republican, championedthe proof-of-citizenship
law as an anti-fraud mea-
sure to keep non-citizens
from voting, particularly
those in the U.S. illegally.
Critics argue that a
small amount of reports
of non-citizens potentially
voting doesnt justify put-
ting thousands of citizensability to vote in limbo.
Its an effort by a small
minority that wants to
repress voter participa-
tion, state Sen. David
Haley, a Kansas City Dem-ocrat, said during an
interview earlier this
month. Its disappointing
and frustrating.The proof-of-citizenship
law and voter registra-
tions on hold are likely to
be major issues as Kobach
seeks a second, four-year
term in 2014.
When Democratic chal-
lenger and former state
Sen. Jean Schodorf of
Wichita launched her
campaign in late October,
she said the state needed
to be using the Office of
Vital Statistics records to
verify birth certificates
instantaneously.
She added that there
was no reason for two
state agencies with offices
in nearby Topeka build-
ings to not be cooperating
with each other.
Kobach said his office
and the health department
have been working on an
agreement for months and
before Schodorf launched
her campaign.
He said the two agencies
need an agreement
because of the interplay
of multiple laws that
restrict the disclosure of
information in birth cer-
tificates.For example, one law
says a person must have
a direct interest in a
birth certificate to review
it, and the information
must be necessary for
the determination of per-
sonal or property rights.
Wichita museumplans events to
celebrate MLK DayWICHITA The Kansas
African American Museum

SALINA Salina-based
Jones Gillam Renz Archi-
tects Inc. has been selected
to design the new Kansas
State University Bulk Sol-
ids Innovation Center in
Salina.
Construction is expected
to start in 2014 and be com-
pleted in 2016.
The Kansas State Univer-
sity Bulk Solids Innovation
Center will be a12,768-square-foot facility
with offices and research
suites for permanent and
visiting researchers, com-
panies and other users.
The building will include
open and enclosed lab areas
to allow for collaborative
and proprietary research
projects by the buildings
tenants.
The open area will also
allow for the more explor-
atory and open access
research conducted by uni-
versity investigators and
students.
The university will be the
key tenant in the center,
and two Salina companies
Coperio n K-Tron andVortex Valves will be ini-
tial anchor tenants. Prima-
ry partners are Kansas
State University, the Salina
Chamber of Commerce,
Salina Economic Develop-
ment Corporation and sev-
eral private companies.
Architect selected
for KSU Bulk SolidsInnovation Center TOPEKA Although winter has set in across Kansas,door-to-door paving scams are continuing to be seen
throughout the state, Kansas Attorney General Derek
Schmidt has said.
In the past three months, the Attorney Generals Con-
sumer Protection Division has received complaints regard-
ing door-to-door driveway paving scams from Cloud, Doug-
las, Jefferson, Marshall, Mitchell, Nemaha, Neosho, Osage,
Ottawa, Republic, Saline, Shawnee and Stevens counties.
According to Schmidt, the scam typically involves the
pavers claiming they have leftover asphalt from a recent
job, and offering consumers a good deal to pave their
driveways. Often, they do not disclose all of the charges, do
not inform the consumers of their three-day right to cancel,
perform substandard work or do not complete the job atall. Schmidt reminded consumers that when hiring con-
tractors or construction workers, it is best to deal with
reputable, local companies. Schmidt asked that any Kan-
sans who may have done business with a deceptive or
fraudulent paving operation contact the Consumer Protec-
tion Division by calling 1-800-432-2310 or by filing a com-
plaint online at www.InYourCornerKansas.org.

Prosecutor General
Hisham Barakat accused
the five of belonging to a

JUBA, South Sudan Ugan-
das president on Monday
warned South Sudans rebel
leader against rejecting the
governments offer of a cease-
fire, saying regional leaders
would unite to defeat the for-
mer vice president, who is
accused of mounting a failed
coup in the worlds newest
country.
Ugandan President YoweriMuseveni told reporters in
Juba, the South Sudan capital,
that a regional bloc known as
IGAD had given Riek Machar
four days to respond to the
cease-fire offer.
If he doesnt we shall have
to go for him, all of us, he said,
referring to IGAD. A meeting ofEast African leaders last week
said it welcomed the commit-
ment by South Sudans gov-
ernment to cease hostilities
against rebels and urged both
sides to start peace talks by
Tuesday.
Machar instead called for a
negotiated cease-fire thatincludes a way to monitor com-
pliance.
The U.N. Security Council on
Monday evening issued a state-
ment reiterating its support for
IGADs efforts to bring about
peace and insisted that the
warring factions begin talks
without preconditions.Violence since mid-December
in South Sudan has displaced
up to 180,000 people, the United
Nations said Monday.

Fort Riley.For Geary County, the
outdoors was a commonpositive reply. Some of theresponses included fishing,lodging, camping and Mil-ford Lake.
The only negative com-ment came from a partici-pant who said the city wasgood during the day, but istrashy and unsafe atnight.
But Hall said theresalways been a high inter-est in the area, especially
with Milford Lake and
the outdoors.
The average age of the
survey participant was 58.We like to see that a lot
of the Generation X people
are starting to be more
mobile and doing things
closer to home, Hall said.
Hall said demographics
play a big part.
Were reaching all kinds
of ages and thats very
good, Hall said.
Social media and the
internet is helping the CVB
attract younger visitors
too.
According to results, a
visitor spent an average of
$74 a day while vacationing
or visiting.

CANBERRA, Australia With fireworks, dancing and
late-night reverie, millionsaround the world welcomed2014 on Tuesday, gatheringfor huge displays of jubila-tion and unity as the newyear was arriving across 24time zones.
In Australia, fireworkssprayed from the sails of theSydney Opera House andthe citys harbor bridge atmidnight. Revelers in Dubaiawaited what was supposedto be the worlds largest fire-works show.
In Ukraine, anti-govern-ment protesters hoped to settheir own record for themost people to sing a nation-
al anthem at the same time.Revelers heading to New
York Citys Times Squarecould expect the annual balldrop but no mayor this year.The new year was to be rungin by U.S. Supreme CourtJustice Sonia Sotomayorinstead.
Closer to the edge of theInternational Dateline, NewZealand bid farewell to 2013with fireworks eruptingfrom Aucklands Sky Toweras cheering crowds dancedin the streets of the SouthPacific island nations larg-est city.
Known for glitz, glamorand over-the-top achieve-ments like the worlds tall-est tower, Dubai hoped tobreak another record bycreating the largest fire-works show ever.
Organizers planned tolight up the citys coastlinewith a flying falcon madeout of fireworks that wouldmove across a massive man-made palm-shaped islandalongside a countdown infireworks. Organizers saythey will also create a burstof light out of fireworks toimitate a sunrise and dazzlespectators with a UnitedArab Emirates flag thatcould also break records forbeing the largest ever madeof fireworks.
The 6-minute extravagan-za will include 500,000 fire-works from 400 firing loca-tions, all synchronized by100 computers from stationsacross the city, said BarrettWissman, co-chairman ofIMG Artists that is manag-ing the event. GuinnessWorld Record officials willbe on hand to measure thescale of the event.
Wissman said the displaywill cover 30 miles (48 kilo-meters) of seafront. It is
really mind-blowing, thesize of this, he said.
In Sydney, organizers hadexpected to set off 7 metric
tons (7.7 U.S. tons) of pyro-technics in 12 seconds. Theestimate appeared accurate.
It filled up the wholesky, said Mona Rucek, a28-year-old tourist fromMunich, Germany.
In Tokyo, five priests atthe Zojoji temple used ropesto swing a wooden poleagainst a large bell, sound-ing the first of 108 gongs tomark the new year. Simulta-neously, 2014 lit up inwhite lights on the modernTokyo Tower in the back-ground.
Both Japanese and tour-ists jammed the templegrounds for the traditionalceremony. Suburban resi-dent Juji Muto said he wascurious to hear how the bellsounded. At his age, the75-year-old retiree said hewishes as every year forgood health in the newyear.
China planned lightshows at part of the GreatWall near Beijing and at theBund waterfront in Shang-hai. The city of Wuhan incentral Hubei provincecalled off its fireworks showand banned fireworks down-town to avoid worsening itssmog.
Pope Francis used hisyear-end prayer service ofthanksgiving to urge peopleto ask themselves: Did theyspend 2013 to further theirown interests or to help oth-ers?
In his homily, the pontiffasked people to reflect ifthey used 2013 to make theplaces where they live morelivable and welcoming. Cit-ing Rome as an example,Francis said the city is fullof tourists, but also refu-gees.
Britain planned to wel-come 2014 with a mixture of
futuristic fireworks, torch-lit tradition and worriesabout immigration.
The United Kingdom isonly one day away from lift-ing restrictions on workersfrom Romania and Bulgar-ia, a prospect which hasmany on the countrys rightworried. Britains top-sell-ing The Sun newspaper car-ried a startling feature quot-ing Romanian bus passen-gers en route to London asvowing to beg and stealtheir way across the coun-try.
The right-leaning DailyMail reported that planes
and buses from Romania tothe U.K. were sold out aclaim ridiculed by journal-ists who easily found cheap
flights online.For people already in Lon-
don, the New Year will givethem the opportunity to lit-erally taste the fireworks.
The citys mayor inconjunction with telecom-munications company Voda-fone said this yearsexplosive display wouldcome packed with peach-flavored snow, edible bananaconfetti and orange-scentedbubbles, allowing people tofeast with more than justtheir eyes. The multisensorydisplay will also includescratch-and-sniff programs,LED wristbands and fruit-flavored sweets.
At Berlins Brandenburg
Gate, hundreds of thou-sands of people were start-ing to assemble for whatorganizers say is one of the
worlds biggest outdoorsNew Years party, a tradi-tional German gatheringfeaturing jelly doughnutsand sparkling wine.
More than 260 people hadbeen injured by firecrackerblasts and celebratory gun-fire in the Philippines aheadof New Years Eve celebra-tions.
Department of Healthspokesman Dr. Eric Tayagsaid he expected the num-ber of injuries to rise sharp-ly as Filipinos commemo-rate the end of a year markedby tragic disasters, includ-ing a Nov. 8 typhoon that leftmore than 6,100 dead andnearly 1,800 missing.
Many here are welcom-ing the new year after losingtheir mothers, fathers, sib-lings and children so you
can imagine how it feels,said village chief MariaRosario Bactol of Anibongcommunity in Tacloban, thecity worst hit by TyphoonHaiyan. I tell them to facethe reality, to move on andstand up, but I know it willnever be easy.
In Hong Kong, pyrotech-nics were fired near theKowloon peninsula andfrom the tops of seven sky-scrapers. A British colonial-era canon was fired at mid-night in a tradition datingfrom the end of World WarII.
New Years celebrationsin Indonesia were wide-spread except in the city of
Banda Aceh where Islamicclerics prohibit Muslimsfrom celebrating New YearsEve.
In New York City, outgo-ing Mayor MichaelBloomberg, who hobnobbedwith celebrities during pastTimes Square celebrations,is sitting out this years fes-tivities to spend time withfamily and friends. Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio will besworn in at 12:01 a.m.Wednesday at his Brooklynhome.
Sotomayor, a New YorkCity native, will lead thefinal 60-second countdownand push the ceremonialbutton to signal the descentof the Times Square NewYears Eve ball in front of anestimated 1 million cele-brants.

On Feb. 23, this past year wasstill a nubile creature, not even asixth of the way through.
But on a cold Saturday at Hart-man Arena in Wichita, the Junc-tion City wrestling team reachedthe pinnacle of the local sportsworld with its second place finishat the 6A state tournament.
The keystone to Junction Citywrestling coach Robert Lastersphilosophy for any tournament isto pick up backdoor points.
At the statetournament, histeam followed it to the letter.
Garden City ran away with thewin, scoring 173.5 points, but Junc-tion City scored 125.5 points, hold-ing off third place Derby by ninepoints.
The Jays didnt let gettingknocked to the consolation side ofthe bracket end their weekend.
Four Junction City wrestlersbattled through the backside towork their way to the podium.
Kevin Perez (120-pound division)and Andrew Millsap (145-pounddivision) led the way for the BlueJays. Each entered the tournament
as the No. 1 ranked wrestler in 6Aand finished with a state title the second for both of them.
In total, six of the 11 wrestlersJunction City sent to the statetournament finished on the podi-um.
Jeryl Denton (152-pound divi-sion), Devonte Wilson (160-pounddivision), James Denton (195-pound division) and Aaron Rafalko(285-pound division) each placedfourth.
Jeryl and James Denton becamethe first pair of siblings from Junc-tion City to finish fourth or better
in the same statetournament.
Wilson battledhis way to the
podium despite only spendingthree weeks before the tournamentin the varsity lineup. In addition tohis opponents, Wilson had to fightthrough an injured knee after fall-ing hard on it in his first match.Between each contest, Wilson hadice wrapped around his knee. How-ever, once he took the center of themat to face his opponent, heshowed no sign of the injury.
Rafalkos fourth place finishcapped off a career where he madethree trips to the state tourna-ment.
Lake Deam (106-pound division),
Jay Ruiz (132-pound division),Ezio Voeghtly (138-pound divi-sion), Micah Felton (170-pounddivision) and Jaylan Padilla (182-pound division) also helped Junc-tion City to its second place fin-ish by qualifying and then earn-ing valuable points at state.
Five of the wrestlers Deam,
Millsap, Jeryl Denton, Wilsonand Felton returned to theBlue Jays this fall.
The 2012-13 Junction Citywrestling team finished the yearundefeated in dual meets and asCentennial League and regionalchampions.
While injuries have sidelined
some of the more experienced
wrestlers through the first
month of the season, the Jays
are hopeful the full roster will be
available in the upcoming
weeks.
And the streak of dual wins
continues into 2014.

Small improvement for Schumacherafter second surgery
BYGRAHAMDUNBAR
Associated Press
GRENOBLE, France MichaelSchumacher underwent a secondsurgery after a brain scan showedsmall, surprising signs of improve-ment, but grim doctors said Tuesdaythey could offer no insight into theprognosis for the Formula Onechampion.
Schumacher, who turns 45 on Fri-day, suffered critical head injurieswhen he fell and struck a rock Sun-day while skiing on a family vaca-tion in the French Alps. His managerconfirmed that the accident crackedhis helmet, which doctors creditedfor giving him a chance at survival.
Schumachers condition stabilized
somewhat after the second surgery,
but he remains in a medicallyinduced coma and doctors gave noprediction on how long that wouldlast.
We cannot tell you any moreabout the future, said Gerard Sail-lant, a surgeon and friend of thefamily who is in Grenoble. Saillantsaid it would be stupid to makeany predictions about Schumachersrecovery.
Schumacher and his 14-year-oldson were skiing in the French Alpineresort of Meribel, where the familyhas a chalet, when he fell and hit theright side of his head on a rock. Hewas taken first to a local hospital,then to Grenoble University Hospi-

INDIANAPOLIS RobertMathis insists momentum mat-ters.
He remembers Indianapolis pull-ing things together to make a SuperBowl run following the 2006 seasonand realizes six of the past eightSuper Bowl champs played on
wild-card weekend. The teams thatsurvive and advance this time ofyear are the ones capable of crank-ing up the intensity while minimiz-ing mistakes.
Yes, the new NFL sacks champi-on has done his homework andfigures that model bodes well forhis Colts.
I think if you check the last sixSuper Bowl winners, they got hotat the right time, Mathis saidMonday. Thats what its all about,getting hot at the right time.
No team has done that betterthis season than the AFC Southchampions.
Only one of the NFLs 12 playoffteams heads into the postseason
with a longer winning streak thanIndy (11-5). San Diego has won fourstraight. The Colts, Carolina andSan Francisco each have won threein a row. But Indys resume may bethe most impressive of the group.
In a league where one-possessiongames are the norm, Indy has wonits past three all by 16 or morepoints including a 23-7 victory atKansas City (11-5) on Dec. 22.

Junction City High School
alumnus Ty Zimmerman spent
his final home game as a mem-
ber of the Kansas State football
squad on the sidelines with a
walking boot on his foot as he
hobbled back and forth oncrutches as he followed the
action. But he made sure to end
his career in a much different
fashion.
Zimmerman returned from an
ankle injury to help the Wildcats
to a 31-14 victory against Michi-
gan in the Buffalo Wild Wings
bowl on Dec. 28. The win was
significant not only because it
signified Zimmermans return,
but it also ended an 11-year bowl-
victory drought for K-State.
Some of the talk concerning
the streak might have been blownout of porportion, as last season
K-State fell to Oregon, one of the
top teams in the nation, in the
Fiesta Bowl. The year before, the
Wildcats lost to a then up-and-
coming SEC team in Arkansas in
the Cotton Bowl. If that Razor-
back squad hadnt lost its coach
following a scandal, they
wouldve been on pace to poten-
tially challenge for the SEC title.
Nevertheless, the win lifted a
burden from the teams back.
And this senior class, which
helped guide K-State back tofootball relevance with four con-
secutive bowl appearances, felt
the feeling of finishing a season
on a high note for the first time
since he led Junction City to the
2008 6A football title.

Nine days after suffering a shock-ing, double-overtime loss at Al Sim-pler Stadium where visiting Manhat-tan knocked in a questionable goalwith 36 seconds remaining, the Junc-tion City girls soccer team had achance for vengeance.
