Satiric Notebook on Athletics and Anecdotes
The column reflects on amateur athletics, cites Jan Kemp’s Georgia case with a $2.3 million punitive award, and notes a Wichita high school reportedly aiding athletes with tuition. It weaves in Bill Vaughan’s quips, media preachers, IRS paper chaos, and a Valentine’s Day family moment with a granddaughter and grandson observing heart shaped dough cookies.

From Our Readers Respond to Overzealous Editorial
William R Weber argues the February 11 Ottawa Herald should not promote biased textbooks. He cites Gary Bauer and William Bennett supporting strong anti Communism and urges teaching American history that honors patriots soldiers and founders. He asserts freedom limits teaching anti American doctrine and suggests opponents relocate if they are soft on Communism.

Middle Meets Middle by John Cunniff AP Analyst
AP reports lower mortgage rates and stabilized prices enable median income families to afford median priced homes for the first time in seven years. Yet years of high rates, tight credit, and weak building left many young couples renting while hoping to own. Rates have declined to single digits and job levels rise, though housing gains remain uneven.

Kansas Conflicts Part I Bewilderment Besieges State
John Marshall argues the 1986 legislative mood delays future planning and masks statewide divisions over road policy. He cites I-35, K-10, US-50, K-96, and K-61 as failing corridors needing hundreds of millions for improvements. The piece faults Topeka gridlock, local quarrels, and a funds battle, urging unified state and local planning funded from scratch.

Governors Face Split Over Reagan Budget And 1986 Elections
Governors gather at NGA winter session amid strained unity as they face Reagan’s 19 percent cut in federal aid and a push to repeal deductibility of state taxes. The split stems from budget pressures and looming gubernatorial elections, with 36 races and Republicans aiming to gain parity. A two-tier economy and uneven state finances complicate uniform action. A proposed targeted fiscal assistance plan could cushion hard-hit states, but requires unified gubernatorial lobbying.
