Statesmen versus Politicians James Freeman Clarke wrote that, “A politi- cian thinks of the next election, a statesman, of the next generation.” And the bright spot in this campaign in Riley County is watching two non- political novices take on the mantle of Statesmen and blossom into formidable foes of the liberal establishment, incumbent politicians in House Districts 66 and 67. At a recent event at Meadowlark, Lee Modesitt captivated an audi- ence of senior residents. These savvy seniors posed questions to Lee ranging from his position on jobs to schools and his personal faith. To the question, “Have you received Jesus Christ as your personal Savior?” Lee responded, “Yes I have.” Thus he fielded every question with clar- ity and dispatch. An exchange between attendees and Modesitt regarding education lasted several minutes. Lee confirmed that his wife is at K-State preparing to be an elementary teacher so quality of education is paramount in the Modesitt family. When asked about his position on the teacher’s union opposi- tion to merit pay, Candidate Modesitt empha- Dick Miller sized that he favored rewarding excellence by backlog of maintenance before the facilities have directing more resources to the classroom that deteriorated beyond economic repair.

Any time a friend or family member would address him on the issue of cutting out the sweets, he would get indignant and quickly inform inquiring souls that he was completely fit in all areas except his midriff, which he would address in his own good time.

We need individuals with passion, ability, and determination who are willing to take time away from their businesses/professions and make the sacrifice to serve and serve well in state government. Dr. Susan Mosier is just such an individual. We are supporting Susan for many reasons. First, she is a businesswoman, physician, a native of Manhattan and newcomer to politics who believes that we need to put principles above politics and to maintain a long-term, downstream, big picture perspec- tive when making decisions for Riley County, the State of Kansas and our country. She understands that the direction we are headed at all levels of government is unsustainable. We cannot continue to rack up debt, expand government entitlements and choke private businesses with increased bureaucracy - Kansas won’t grow if government continues to grow at the expense of the private sector. Our country, city and state were founded on time-tested principles. These principles include a limited role of government, adherence to fiscal and personal responsibility and accountability and protection of an indi- vidual’s freedoms. When applied faithfully, these principles create an environment for prosperity, growth and innovation. Susan believes that we have a fiduciary responsibility to future generations to pass on not only these principles, but also, a government equipped to support these principles. She has a wealth of experience upon which to draw. After receiving her M.B.A., she worked as an infor- mation systems consultant on projects in multiple industries including oil and gas, real estate, banking and health care. She then worked at American Airlines and subsequently served as Systems Development and Database Manager at the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. In addition to her large business experience, Susan has been a small business owner of an independent ophthalmology practice for the past ten years here in Manhattan. We need Susan’s leadership in Topeka. Manhattan has a rich tradition of having its state representatives serve in leadership roles. With a member of the Republican majority party in the House, your voice will be heard! Now is the time.

Brake How can you win a football game by giving up 683 total yards? That is what Kansas State gave to Baylor on Saturday, 287 yards rushing and 404 yards passing. Oh, the question was “How can you give up that many yards and win?” You can’t, Baylor 47 - Kansas State 42. Now Kansas State had a good game too. KSU had 109 yards rushing and 298 yards in the air for a total of 407. Not bad, but not good enough. Daiel Thomas had a total of 113 yards on the ground and took in three passes for another 27 yards. Thomas ended the day with 140 yards. In most games Carson Coffman’s passing would have saved the day. He completed 20 passes on 29 attempts for a total of 231 yards. No one scored on the passes and the longest was for 27 yards. One the other hand, Robert Griffin III hit 26 receivers on 38 attempts for a total of 404 passing yards and (get this) 4 touchdowns. A total of 8 players were listed on the receiving chart for Baylor. On the ground five players were given the ball and picked up 279 yards. It was a great game to watch but it would have been better if K- State had come home with a win.
