WICHITA — One of the two Kansans among four soldiers killed in an explosion in Afghanistan mixed humor and honesty in trying to ease his family's fear about his hazardous job.
"He'd say. Where else can I go to work every day and blow really big stuff up?" his stepmother, Mary Maugans of Bel Air, said Tuesday.
Sgt. Jamie Maugers, 27, of Derby, worked as an ordnance demolition specialist and he'd described his job as the Fourth of July on a bigger scale.
He was also honest about the danger.
"He had told us, 'If anything ever happens, it will be very quick, and I won't know it,'" said the soldier's mother, Kathy Wurdeman of Derby.
Soldier mourned by family, friends
It happened Monday when members of the 710th Ordnance
"As a kid, he resisted highly structured environments and really didn't like to be told what to do," said his stepmother.
his duty. The two friends both enlisted in the Army about three years ago, stunning their families.
After graduating from Derby High School in 1993, Maugans attended Cowley County Community College and the University of Kansas.
"When he first started playing soccer, he would run alongside the other team's players and talk to 'em or stop and get dandelions or go off the field and get a drink of water," the elder Maugs said. "He was so not into competition."
At Kansas, roommate Matt Everhart recalled Maugans watching the news on television and talking about the importance of doing
The soldier's father, Bryce Maugans of Wichita, said his son had been a "quiet, passive little boy."
Maugers spent a year in Korea, then was stationed at Point Loma in California as part of a special detachment assigned to check for explosives in hotels and other locations before they were used by President Clinton or candidates in the 2000 election.
siles were the very worst to work with because they were so unstable and unpredictable." his stepmother said. "He particularly hated working with that. I'm afraid that was what he was working with when he was killed."
He was last home in October, when he served as best man at his brother Chad's wedding. He left for Afghanistan in November, and childhood friend Josh Gray got an e-mail last week in which the soldier looked forward to a leave in May.
The bodies arrived Tuesday at Ramstein Air Base in Germany on the way back to the United States.
Maugans, who was single, told family and friends his job was to get rid of the huge stockpile of Soviet weapons left behind from the 10-year occupation of Afghanistan during the 1980s.
Company were working at a demolition range in Kandahar, next to the former residence of Taliban supreme leader Mullah Mohammed Ammed. Troops were handling large-caliber rockets confiscated from former Taliban ammunition dumps.
Killed with Maugans were fellow Kansan Justin J. Galewski, 28, a staff sergeant from Olathe; Staff Sgt. Brian Craig, 27, of Houston, Texas; and Sgt. 1st Class Daniel Romero, 30, of Longmont, Colo. A fifth soldier was injured.
"He was in a great mood," Gray said. "He couldn't wait to get home to see us."
"One of the things that he had said was that the old Soviet mis-
Kennedy launches Kansas Riverkeeper
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Kan. On Wednesday river advocate Robert Kennedy Jr. launched the first so-called Kansas Riverkeeper boat, which will be used to patrol the river for pollution.
As Kansas Riverkeeper, Dave Murphy will watch the river from Junction City to Kansas City, Kan., and will serve as an advocate trying to curb pollution by industry, agriculture and recreational users.
Laura Calwell, president of Friends of the Kaw, christened the boat on the riverbank in the city's Fairfax Industrial District, before Murphy and Kennedy drove off to survey a section of the river.
But before that, Kennedy, an environmental lawyer and president of the Waterkeeper Alliance, described the river as an untapped economic and recreational resource.
"I look at this river and I see a waterfront with huge potential that's being squandered," Kennedy said with the downtown Kansas City, Mo., skyline looming
in the background.
The river, he said, should be surrounded by park land and trails, and people should flock to fish, boat and play in it.
Carol Marinovich, mayor of the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kan., attended the event and agreed the community hasn't taken advantage of the waterway.
Friends of the Kaw, a local nonprofit group, hired Murphy — a longtime member, avid outdoorman and former owner of a lawncare service—to be the riverkeeper. Though the group pays Murphy's salary, the position is officially licensed and loosely guided by the Waterkeeper Alliance.
The alliance is credited with cleaning up the Hudson River and several other water bodies in the eastern United States.
Kansas marks uncharted territory in the Waterkeeper Alliance program.
Kennedy said the biggest obstacles the Kansas River faces are the growth of corporate farming and urban sprawl.
Top church officials appear in grand jury
The Associated Press
CINCINNATI — In an extraordinary move, the archbishop and chancellor of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati were summoned yesterday to appear before a grand jury investigating child abuse allegations.
Archbishop Daniel Pilarczyk was later excused from testifying but may be required to appear later before the grand jury, according to Hamilton County Prosecutor Michael Allen.
Chancellor Christopher Armstrong testified, although Allen nor the archdiocese would discuss what he said.
"We may have something to say later. I can't say anything right now," said Dan Andriacco, spokesman for the archdiocese.
Pilarezyk, 67, is the first archbishop nationwide to be subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury, said David Clohesy, national director of the Chicago-based Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests.
"Unprecedented. Absolutely," said Jeff Anderson, an attorney who has been active in lawsuits filed by people alleging priest abuse.
The Roman Catholic church has struggled with sexual abuse scandals nationwide since January, when documents revealed Boston church officials had long ignored complaints against a now-defrocked priest convicted of molestation. Dozens of priests have been suspended or forced to resign.
Pilarczyk, archbishop of Cincinnati since 1982, was auxiliary bishop there from 1974-82 under the late Joseph Bernardin, who moved to Chicago as archbishop and cardinal.
Last night, Allen lashed out at the diocese, which serves about 500,000 Roman Catholics in 19 southwest Ohio counties, saying it was not cooperating with authorities.
