EVERYDAY HEROESKaren Ingramnews editor, opinion editor

Th e news is frequently fi lled with stories of sacrifi ce, of brave men and women in the U.S. military who serve our country. But an oft en overlooked group of people who give just as much are the families of these soldiers. Th ey are burdened with long periods of isolation while their husband, wife or parent is deployed. Th ey move frequently, torn away from family and friends. Th ey worry, stay strong for the sake of their family, then worry some more.

“Being married in the mil-itary takes teamwork,” said Janice Gustafson, graduate student in education.

Janice is well aware of the dangers that come with being a military wife. Both of her grandfathers were wounded in World War II. Her father was wounded in the Vietnam War and spit upon by pro-testers. Janice had been mar-ried to her husband, Tim, for just three weeks when he was deployed to Iraq. Six months later, he lost his leg.

“We’re very thankful to be in the times we are because we have so much support from the Army and civilian world,” Janice said. “Defi -nitely thankful for the com-munity who supports vets, because it was not like that 40 years ago.”

Her husband embraced life aft er his injury. He learned to swim, participated in tri-athlons and had three chil-dren with his wife: Rachel, 4, Caleb, 3, and Gabe, who turned eight months old on the Fourth of July. Today, Tim Gustafson is in the Kansas National Guard and a junior in electrical engineering.

“He’s the most positive, encouraging guy,” Janice said. “He has a great outlook.”

Th e Gustafsons also found

assistance with A Warrior’s Wish, an organization that assists military veterans. Typically, the veterans are battling terminal or life-limiting illnesses and their wishes are oft en simple but important, such as having a wheelchair ramp built for their house. A Warrior’s Wish made the Gustafsons’ bathroom more accessible, adding bars to the shower for Tim to hold onto for safety. Before their help, he had to either hop on one foot or use a public shower.

It was while Janice was looking for scholarships to help her husband that she stumbled upon two organi-zations to help her and their children: Folds of Honor and Hope For the Warriors. Both organizations provide schol-arships for higher education to families of soldiers who were disabled or killed. Janice was already a 2001 K-State alumna in animal science, but now, she realized, she had an opportunity to go further.

“I decided if I could get my master’s paid for, I’d go back to school,” she said. “I wouldn’t be doing my master’s degree if it wasn’t for them.”

According to the Folds of Honor offi cial website, ap-proximately half of all sol-diers wounded or killed in Iraq and Afghanistan are married with an average of 2.5 dependents. Government support is not always enough to help them; 85 percent of wounded soldiers’ families are ineligible for education benefi ts from the Depart-ment of Veterans Aff airs.

Dan Rooney, a major in the Air National Guard, came

up with a unique plan to help them. In 2007, he founded the Folds of Honor Founda-tion to provide scholarships for children and spouses of disabled or killed service-men and women. Rooney, a professional golf player and member of the United States

Golf Association, created Pa-triot Golf Day to raise funds for his project. Each year, on Labor Day weekend, golf-ers nationwide are asked to pay $1 extra on their green fees as a donation to Folds of Honor. Th e fi rst year, more than $1.1 million was raised

from 3,200 participating golf facilities. To date, the Patriot Golf Day event has raised more than $5.3 million, all for scholarships for military families. Th e campaign is supported by both the Pro-fessional Golf Association of America and the USGA.

“Many Folds of Honor scholars are fi rst-generation college students. Th ese kinds of programs give people op-portunities they normally wouldn’t have,” Janice said. She and all three of her chil-dren have received Folds of Honor scholarships.

Hope For the Warriors is a nonprofi t organization that supports wounded ser-vicemen and women, their families and the families of soldiers who have been killed. It was founded by military wives and encom-passes several programs to help, including fi ve scholar-ships available for spouses and caregivers for up to $5,000. Janice was awarded the Bonnie Amos Scholar-ship, named for one of the members of the HFTW Ad-visory Council and the wife of a Marine General.

“She was at Camp Lejeune when Hope For Th e War-riors was founded there in 2006. She provided great support to the organization as a whole, the wounded and their families,” said Jordan Murray of HFTW’s public re-lations in an email interview.

Janice said she was grate-ful to organizations like HFTW and Folds of Honor for their support and also to the everyday people who do what they can for mili-tary spouses. She said being a military wife is “like being a single mom” and requires a lot of work.

“Enlist help when pos-sible. Having neighbors cut the grass makes a huge dif-ference,” Janice said. “But most of the time you end up doing a lot on your own. Just expect to do it and do it.”

But while being a military spouse is hard, it is also very rewarding.

“When they’re home you appreciate them a lot more,” she said. “Try to love and support as much as possible.”

Individuals, organizations help military family through tough times

The corner of Fifth Street and Humboldt Street was no longer a public parking lot; it had transformed. People wan-dered through the maze of tables and canopies with dogs and children in tow, examin-ing the various local wares for sale: fruit, vegetables, meat, honey, eggs, baked goods, pottery and other crafts. The Manhattan Downtown Farm-ers Market was a place alive with color, voices and music. A place where the people were just as interesting as products they offered.

George LeRoux sat off to one side of the marketplace, strumming his guitar and singing as if the passersby were guests on his front porch. His sign read “Flint Hills Prai-rie Bison Reserve” and boast-ed bison meat and sausage for sale, plus jellies and preserves made from elderberries, Sand Hill plums and more, all of which were products of his ranch.

“We try to be self-sustain-ing,” LeRoux said.

A 1988 K-State alumnus, LeRoux has been attending the farmers market regularly for about eight years. In be-tween songs, he was happy to share his dream of starting a nonprofit organization to pur-chase prairie land to protect

it from development, stock it with bison, then allow people to enjoy camping and fishing in the rustic, native environ-ment. Why nonprofit? Money, he said, is not as important to him as sustaining a one-on-one relationship between nature and people.

A few booths down, where LeRoux’s rendition of “Green Acres” began to fade, pass-ersby did double takes and let out cries of amazement at the sight of ancient Pepsi and other vintage bottles melted into works of art.

“The incense holders are very popular,” said Paula Dan-iels, a St. George, Kan., resi-dent and artist who has been attending the farmers market for six years. “The ‘slump’ design is the most popular.”

The incense holders are made by putting the bottles into a mold that the glass “slumps” into when it melts, Daniels said.

Daniels used to work for the state doing data entry. Budget cuts forced her to take a series of temporary jobs before she decided to start making jew-elry, something she said she had always wanted to do. In addition to her melted vintage bottles, Daniels uses a kiln to create dichroic, or dichro, glass beads, which she then fashions into jewelry. Dichro beads have surface colors cre-ated by using dozens of layers

of metallic or transparent films, resulting in beads that both transit and reflect light, changing color depending upon how one looks at them.

Another jewelry stand nearby offered a completely different product: tagua nut jewelry, made from palm trees in South America. Dried, carved into different shapes and dyed a rainbow of colors, the tagua nuts appeared to be a cross between wood and stone.

“It’s got substance, but it’s lighter than stone,” Janeen Koehler, Manhattan resident, explained to customers.

Koehler gets the jewelry from her sister, Kathy Mecke, who is a missionary in Ecua-dor. Mecke buys the jewelry directly from the craftsmen in local marketplaces instead of through dealers, making the jewelry fair trade.

On the other side of the lot, the Blaske family had their Harmony Hills products available on a series of tables and stands: fresh vegetables, honey, bee pollen, homemade jams made from a multitude of handpicked local fruits and more.

Dick Blaske proudly showed off a stand with land-scape cards, featuring photo-graphs taken by his wife Joyce

Two Fort Riley soldiers have been found dead in separate incidents of apparent suicides.

Spc. Nathan Conley, 21, was found dead in his bar-racks room at the Warrior Tr a n s i t i o n Battalion on June 27, ac-cording to a press release issued by the 1st Infantry Division. His death was investigated and later determined to be suicide.

Conley joined the Army soon aft er graduating high school in 2008. Th e Battle Creek, Mich., native served in Korea as a M1 Abrams tank driver before being stationed at Fort Riley with the 1st In-fantry Division. He was de-ployed to Iraq from Novem-ber 2010 to February 2011 in support of Operation New Dawn. Th e Warrior Transi-tion Battalion’s mission is to support the rehabilitation and successful transition of wounded, ill and injured sol-diers back to active duty or to veteran status.

Another soldier was found dead at his apartment in Junc-tion City on July 5. Sgt. Aaron

Evilsizer, 29, was discovered by the Junction City Police Department in his apartment at approximately 10:30 a.m. according to a press release. Police announced on July 6 that the gunshot wound to Evilsizer’s head appeared to be self-infl icted but his death re-mains under investigation.

Evilsizer was assigned to 2nd Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Bri-gade Combat Team, 1st In-fantry Division. He enlisted in the Army in 2002 and spent seven months in South Korea where he served as a sniper instructor at Camp Casey. He was preparing for deployment to Afganistan in March 2012.

Editor’s Note: This is the sixth installment of the 8 Wonders of Manhattan running in the Collegian over the summer. A new wonder will be on each front page.

Aside from its natural won-ders, Manhattan is also home to several unique eateries.

Th e oldest continuously-open Pizza Hut is nestled in the middle of Aggieville on Moro Street. It has been at the same location since Oct. 17, 1960. Dan and Frank Carney started Pizza Hut in Wichita in 1958.

Th e chain initially struggled because pizza was new to the state, but slowly spread throughout Kansas, then the nation.

Much has changed at the Manhattan location in the past 50 years. When it fi rst opened, there were only fi ve staff members, thin crust was the only crust option and only dine-in and carry-out were available. In the 1970s, deliv-ery became an option once business grew. Bernie Butler has remained the manager since the inception and is the current owner.

When Sucker Punch made “inFAMOUS 2,” they had high expectations to live up to. The original “inFAMOUS” was a massively fun game in which the player controls Cole McGrath, a man who gained electrical powers from the explosion of a device known as the Ray Sphere. The player must choose whether to be heroic or infamous, making choices throughout the campaign to gather either good or evil karma.

“inFAMOUS” was greeted with rave reviews, consistent-ly receiving high ratings from reviewers such as IGN and GameSpot. These high ratings created a dilemma for Sucker

Punch: how do you improve on something that is already so close to perfect? I am happy to report they found a way in “inFAMOUS 2.”

“inFAMOUS 2” takes us to the city of New Marais (based on real-life New Orleans) as Cole attempts to become even more powerful in preparation for defeat-ing the destructive nemesis simply known as The Beast. Cole starts with the simple abilities that he acquired in Empire City, such as gliding and grinding on wires, so this game is solely focused on becoming immensely powerful. Cole’s best friend Zeke is back, but other than him there are almost all new characters, including two sidekicks for Cole, Nix and Kuo, along with the villain Bertrand and his militia.

As much as I loved the

original, it did come with its flaws, and the sequel does a terrific job of addressing all of them. If you played “inFA-MOUS,” you are familiar with tracking down blast shards, which give Cole the ability to store more power. There were 350 of them strewn around Empire City, and col-lecting all of them consisted of running around the city, hoping to get close enough to a shard that it would show up on your mini-map. This search would generally end in two ways: the player finds all of them after days upon days of searching, pulling out their hair and getting carpal tunnel, or the player doesn’t find all of them after days upon days of searching, pull-ing out their hair, and getting carpal tunnel.

“inFAMOUS 2” introduces blast shard sense, which shows

the nearest shard on your map regardless of how close you are. Th is made it a non-issue to track down all of them and I was left with all of my hair.

Another issue was the lack of replay value. After beating all of the story and side missions on both good and evil, there was very little left for the player to do. The addition of user-generated content attempts to fix that. This gives players the ability to design new missions for Cole and share them across the PlayStation Network. New missions are added just about every day, so even after beating every story and side mission, players will still have literally hundreds of missions left to choose from. These missions could be anything from racing across grind-wires to target practice to simply playing through a tall

tale told by Zeke to impress the ladies.

“inFAMOUS 2” comes with a slew of new abilities that make Cole considerably more powerful. One of my personal favorites is the upgrade to Cole’s melee ability with the addition of the amp. Th e amp is a device designed by Zeke to amplify Cole’s powers and comes with some fi nishing moves that had me giggling like a small schoolgirl. Th e original melee was fairly weak and rarely useful, but the upgrade makes it a force to be reckoned with. Each of Cole’s attacks comes with a number of choices that can benefi t any type of player. For example, the typical bolt power comes with seven diff erent types, ranging from the bolt stream, which turns Cole’s bolts into fully au-tomatic mode and benefi ts the spray-n-pray fi ring technique,

to the artillery bolt, which is a long-range bolt designed for the fi nesse players. Switching between powers is quick and simple and can be done in the middle of a scrum with no trouble.

“inFAMOUS 2” some-how goes well above its predecessor with much improved gameplay and the continuation of a terrific story. I strongly recommend it to anybody who enjoyed the first one or to anybody who enjoys a quality game. The only problem I had with the game was that the main campaign settings struggled to find an appropriate level of difficulty, which is why I am awarding “inFAMOUS 2” four stars out of five.

Video game review by Bryan Roth★★★★✩

Video games have developed beyond what the makers of “Pong” could have ever imagined — games like “inFAMOUS 2,” which we review in this issue, are far beyond what many would have initially believed to have been possible. Th at does not mean, however, that all new games are better than older ones, which is why I have chosen to compile a list of my favorite 10 video games of all time across all console game systems — meaning I am not including portable systems on this list — with my justifi cations for the decision. Enjoy.

GAMING BATTLEEstablished franchises dominate video game top 10 list

Joshua Madden

10. Call of Duty: Black OpsConsoles: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii

Justifi cation: While other en-tries in the “Call of Duty” series have been great — most notably the “Modern Warfare” franchise — the multiplayer aspect of “Black Ops” is simply too hard to ignore. Th e betting system, the absurd game modes (Sticks and Stones, anyone?) and the online play made Black Ops an instant classic.

9. CrackdownConsole: Xbox 360

Justifi cation: Many people will probably only remember “Crack-down” as the game they had to purchase to gain access to the “Halo 3” beta, but “Crackdown” was argu-ably more fun than “Halo 3” — the game featured awesome gameplay and moves that have undoubtebly infl uenced multiple later franchises.

8. Hydro ThunderConsole: Sega Dreamcast

Justifi cation: “Hydro Th under” was made for several systems, but one of the coolest things is that each system’s version had unique fea-tures. Th e Sega Dreamcast version was arguably the closest you got to feeling like you were in an actual arcade and while that was one of the strengths of the Dreamcast anyway, no game captured this atmosphere better than “Hydro Th under.”

7. GoldenEye 007Console: Nintendo 64

Justifi cation: Do I really even need to justify this pick? People who don’t play video games played “GoldenEye 007.” It spawned the fi rst-person shooter genre we know today and could certainly rival “Halo” for being the greatest one of all time. Plus it had paintball mode.

6. XG3: Extreme G RacingConsoles: PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube

Justifi cation: No racing game has ever been as much fun as “XG3” because most of them don’t allow you to shoot and kill your opponents. Almost like a mix of the battle mode and racing modes of “Mario Kart 64,” “XG3” was, and still is, a legitimate rush to play.

5. Tribes: Aerial AssaultConsole: PlayStation 2

Justifi cation: A game that was far ahead of its time, “Tribes: Aerial As-sault” off ered dedicated servers and 32-player matches before most console games were even thinking it could be possible. With a combination of jet-packs and guns, it’s hard to imagine a better way to play Capture the Flag.

4. Star Fox 64Console: Nintendo 64

Justifi cation: “Do a barrel roll.” Th e dialogue of “Star Fox 64” alone could have earned it a spot on this list, but that would be ignoring the fact that playing as Star Fox and his band of “cocky little freaks” is just simply a lot of fun.

3. HaloConsole: Xbox

Justification: “Halo” really raised the bar for first-per-son shooters and spawned almost its own culture of people who played the game

all day and all night. While later entries in the series have continued to impress gamers around the world, none of them have captured whatever it was that made the first one so special.

2. Super Mario Bros. 3Console: Nintendo Enter-tainment System

Justifi cation: “Super Mario Bros. 3” highlights everything that people love about playing Mario Bros. games. It seems like you can’t take two steps without fi nding some kind of

secret, but at the same time, you can just play straight through the game and still have a blast. Th ere’s just no way you can know what to expect from “Super Mario Bros. 3,” even if you’ve played it thousands of times before — which I probably have.

1. Super Smash Bros. MeleeConsole: Nintendo Game-Cube

Justifi cation: Casual gamers would probably prefer to see the original “Super Smash Bros.” in this spot, but “Melee” off ered the series a level of

depth that it hasn’t seen since. Th ere’s a reason for a long time this game rivaled “Halo 2” as the most competitive one in the world. It can be

a blast for someone who is picking it up for the fi rst time, but it can also still be fun years later. Th e characters, the attacks, the multiplayer modes — this game just has nothing to complain about.

“Classic rock — it always sounds good.”

Th e economic woes of this coun-try can be felt everywhere, from the struggling small business to the single mom to the highest levels of our government. Everybody is looking for ways to lighten the crushing weight of debt. Some of the sacrifi ces have been necessary, if painful, while others are going to come back to haunt us later. It is one of these decisions made by the Sedgwick County Sheriff ’s Offi ce that, in time, will show a temporary solution is sometimes not better than none at all.

According to a July 2 article in the Wichita Eagle by Tim Potter, the Sedgwick County Sherrif ’s Offi ce has been faced with the daunting task of cutting $1.7 million out of their 2012 budget. So far, they have taken measures that will save ap-proximately $730,770 without any layoff s. Th is includes cutting deputy training hours in half, eliminat-ing morning visitation hours for inmates and leaving seven open po-sitions unfi lled at the jail. But there is one more thing they chose to do that makes me wince: eliminating the GED program for inmates.

Upon fi rst glance, some might believe eliminating the GED program to be a reasonable choice; it is the only program at Sedgwick County Jail that is not staff ed by volunteers. Instead, they have to pay outsiders for testing and instruc-tion of the inmates. However, the benefi ts of the GED program far outweigh the cost and eliminating it altogether is shooting everybody in their collective feet, inmate and law-abiding citizen alike.

Th e main reason is quite simple: inmates who get their GED are less likely to be incarcerated again. Less repeat off enders in jail saves money in the long run. “Th e Impact of Prison Education Programs on Post-Release Outcomes” by Gerald G. Gaes, a paper written for the Reentry Roundtable on Education in February 2008, details a number of studies done on prison educa-tion programs and their eff ect on prisoners upon release. On average, participants in education programs, such as GED or vocational training, were half as likely to relapse and return to crime as those who did not participate.

Education is key in both prevent-ing people from turning to crime and rehabilitating criminals. Th e Justice Center reports that many people turn to crime to begin with because their lack of education aff ects their job prospects, both in the types of jobs they can get and in their earnings. Th e Bureau of Justice Statistics reported in 1997 that 39.7 percent of state prison inmates and 26.5 percent of federal prison inmates had less than a high school education, while the general population had only 18.4 percent — about half the number of state inmates.

A 2000 report by the Windham School District on the impact of education on post-release employ-ment shows the more education an

inmate had upon release, the more likely they were to be employed. It also found that inmates with a GED earned more money than those without.

What about the taxpayers? Does the cost of educating prisoners off set the cost of incarcerating them? Absolutely. I could not fi nd statistics on how much it is in Kansas, but in California, it cost an average of $47,102 per inmate from 2008 to 2009, according to the Legislative Analyst’s Offi ce. Th e ma-jority of this money was spent on security — $19,663 — and health care — $12,442. Rehabilitation programs, which includes academic education, vocational training and substance abuse programs, only amounted to $1,612 per inmate.

So, while security and health care account for 41.8 percent and 26.4 percent of the budget respectively, rehabilitation programs were only 3.4 percent of the money spent on each inmate.

Of the $730,770 the Sedgwick County Offi ce has shaved off of the 2012 budget so far, the largest percentage of that came from not fi lling the vacant positions in the jail — $495,000 or 67.7 percent. Th at would fall into the category of “security.” Cutting the GED program saved them the least amount of money; only $18,000. Th ink about this: it costs $47,102 to house an inmate in California. Even if the amount were half that here in Kansas — say about $20,000 per year — it’s still cheaper to educate

all of the prisoners at $18,000 per year than it is to house one inmate. If educating the inmates prevents just one of them from coming back to prison later, they’ve already more than made up the diff erence.

I sympathize with the Sedgwick County Sheriff ’s Offi ce. I know they’re feeling the crunch, just like we all are, but when you look at the long-term eff ects of their decision to cut the GED program, it just doesn’t add up. It’s like not getting an oil change for your car. Sure, it might save you a few bucks today, but it’ll end up costing you more in the long run when your car breaks down.

Eliminating education opportunities for inmates counterproductiveA MATTER OF WORTH

Karen Ingram

At a philosophical level, many people can argue the merits of whether or not 1,000 guilty people should go free rather than having one innocent person be found guilty. Most people would probably disagree with this, arguing that it’s not practi-cal. Unless, of course, the innocent person being found guilty is either themselves or someone they care about. In that case, it would probably be OK with that person if 1 million guilty people were let free.

Such is the contradiction present in the Casey Anthony trial. Every-one would want the same protec-tions she received for themselves, but, at the same time, many people are upset that a seemingly-guilty woman has been found not guilty in a court of law.

If you ask people to express their outrage more specifi cally at what happened, they struggle to do so. Ev-eryone should have the right to com-petent defense counsel, the right to be convicted only if the case against you was proven beyond a reasonable doubt, etc. No one truly has an objec-tion to any one of these things, yet there are countless people who are

still so upset that Casey Anthony was cleared of fi rst-degree murder.

Th e jury did not believe that the prosecution proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt and I tend to agree with them. If the prosecution’s case against Anthony was so solid, why did they feel the need to charge her with both fi rst-degree murder and a manslaughter charge? It is legally impossible for her to have committed both felonies — it would be like charging someone with both loving and hating chocolate ice cream — and highlights the fact that even the prosecution was unsure of how to charge Anthony.

No one has any idea of what really happened in Caylee An-thony’s death — if someone does have a clearer idea, he or she is certainly not speaking up right now and that is not compat-ible with our idea of convicting

someone only when the case against them is proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Reason-able doubt existed in this case and it is a protection that we all enjoy in this legal system. To

not defend the concept in Anthony’s case is to not defend the concept at all.

I am struck by the fact that Americans seem so quick to criticize the Italian system of justice in the case of Amanda Knox — who I, like many Americans, person-ally believe to be innocent of the murder for which she has been con-victed — and yet they also criticize

the American system for having let Casey

Anthony essentially go free. Do these people not realize that it is the protections that Anthony enjoyed that would have likely kept Knox from being convicted? You cannot have your cake

and eat it too.Th e American system of justice is

the best system in the world, and it is because of that, not in spite

of it, that sometimes guilty people do go free. Th is may

at times be a diffi cult pill to swal-low, but it highlights the fact that the American system does work. Casey Anthony was simply not proven guilty and so she was found not guilty. Th at is both rational and justifi able on a moral level.

Simply having a “feeling” that someone is likely guilty of a crime is not enough and should not be enough to convict someone of any crime, let alone murder. I do not want Nancy Grace’s initial impres-sion of me to be what decides the fate of my life. The court of public opinion is not one that is forced to sit through all of the evidence and actually make a rational decision based on what is presented to them. Many Americans would be wise to remember that fact before rushing to convict anyone.

Let us not forget that this was literally a life-or-death scenario for Casey Anthony — had she been convicted of murdering her daugh-ter, she could have been sentenced to death. If you were in her shoes, would you want Nancy Grace to make the decision about your convic-tion? Me neither.

Americans should not be upset about the result of the Casey An-thony trial and instead should take a minute to give thanks for the protec-tions that we receive as American citizens. Our justice system isn’t per-fect, but it’s a pretty darn good one.

of Kansas landscapes, sunsets and windmills. His son Max sells tomatoes and has been involved in the family busi-ness since he was 9 years old. Together, the Blaske family have been regulars at the farm-ers market for 10 years. Dick Blaske said he enjoyed the farmers market as a whole.

“Meet new people, learn new stuff from customers and pass it on,” he said.

“I like the local quality, seeing the local people who raised your food,” said Toby Coffman, graduate student in English, who has been coming to the farmers market since last year to get fresh produce and other products. He and his wife Clara, who studied nutri-tion at Colorado State, said they appreciate locally-grown food because items at the store, even organic items, are often shipped from thousands of miles away and lose nutrients as a result.

“I think the most important thing is to eat fresh,” Toby said.
