KFIX Rock News: Ringo Starr Selling Copy 1 Of The White Album
LOS ANGELES (AP) – The original copies of The Beatles’ White Album have numbers on the covers indicating in what order in the printing process those copies were made.
It’s commonly known that The Beatles kept numbers 1 through 4, but many people don’t know that Ringo Starr has copy number 1 — and now he’s selling it.
Julien’s Auctions says Starr kept it in a London bank vault for 35 years.
In spite of that, it’s not quite in mint condition because a corner has a slight fold.
It’s expected to sell for between $40,000 and $60,000 by the time the auction ends December 3.

Russell-area retailers encouraged to participate in Plaid Friday
Submitted
RUSSELL — The Friday after Thanksgiving means Black Friday to most, but Encore Antiques & Collectables in Russell and other locally owned, independent businesses across the country are urging citizens to celebrate Plaid Friday instead.
Plaid Friday is a fun and enjoyable alternative to the chaos and dangers of Black Friday, and is designed to promote both local and independently owned businesses during the holidays.
Plaid Friday was first celebrated in 2009 in Oakland, Calif., a city known for strong “shop local” campaigns. The Plaid Friday movement is growing across the nation, and even more so in the Russell area.
Starting in 2010, Encore Antiques & Collectables hosted Plaid Friday events and in 2014 Encore Antiques encouraged participating businesses to become involved. The Russell County Convention & Visitors Bureau also stepped in to support the local Plaid Friday efforts by providing a limited number of plaid shopping bags filled with goodies and local information.
Once again, Encore Antiques &; Collectables is serving as the headquarters for Plaid Friday efforts in Russell County. Shoppers are encouraged to start their Plaid Friday adventures at Encore where they can pick up their plaid shopping bag and the Russell Area Plaid Friday Shop Sheet.
The Shop Sheet provides an overview of each local business that is participating in Plaid Friday activities. Any locally-owned, independent business in Russell County is welcome to participate in Plaid Friday. Suggested activities for Plaid Friday retailers include discounts, refreshments, entertainment, giveaways and drawings.
To be included on the Russell Area Plaid Friday Shop Sheet, retailers must contact Encore Antiques & Collectables no later than Friday, Nov. 13. For additional information, contact Encore Antiques & Collectables at (785) 445-8480 or stop by 590 S. Fossil, Russell.

Free holiday cheer stations to fuel holiday shoppers
DHDC
The holiday shopping season is an exciting time of year and even the most loyal shoppers may need a boost of caffeine to help them through the early morning deals of Thanksgiving and Black Friday sales.
To set a new tradition for this anticipated shopping event, the Hays Area Chamber of Commerce has partnered with the Downtown Hays Development Corporation (DHDC), Hays Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) and the United Way of Ellis County to offer “Holiday Cheer Stations.”
Each of us want to say thank you for keeping the cheer here this holiday season by shopping local.
This year, Holiday Cheer Stations will be set up in three different locations throughout Hays during Thanksgiving and Black Friday retail sales. The stations will serve free coffee, hot chocolate or tea to shoppers during the following times and locations:
- Thanksgiving Night from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Walmart Supercenter
- Friday, Nov. 27 from 8 to 9 a.m. on The Bricks in Downtown Hays at the Fox Pavilion
- Friday, Nov. 27 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at Big Creek Crossing in the Center Court
We hope the Hays community remembers to shop local and “Keep the Cheer Here.”
Your purchases are what keep local businesses around. If just half our city would spend $50 each month in a local business, it would generate considerable revenue for Hays. Nearly half returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures.
The mission of DHDC is to foster awareness and promote Downtown Hays as a vibrant center of commerce, recreation, arts, government and history that serves the people of Hays, the surrounding region and visitors from around the world.
The mission of the Hays CVB is to market the City of Hays to potential overnight visitors by promoting to individual & family leisure travelers, conventions and groups, sports and recreation events, motor coach tours and to encourage special community events; and to service those travelers while visiting our city.
The United Way’s mission is to positively impact lives by strategically channeling community resources. The United Way’s work is focused on the building blocks for a good life: education, income, and health.
No. 9 Tar Heels use late surge to down Kansas State
By DAVE SKRETTA
AP Sports Writer
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Justin Jackson scored 22 points, Kennedy Meeks added 15 and ninth-ranked North Carolina used a 21-3 finishing run to beat Kansas State 80-70 on Tuesday night in the CBE Classic title game.
Theo Pinson scored 11 and Brice Johnson had 10 points for the Tar Heels (5-1), who trailed 67-59 with just more than 4 minutes remaining before their game-ending charge.
Kamau Stokes hit six 3-pointers and finished with 24 points for the Wildcats (4-1), but the freshman also committed a pair of costly turnovers in the closing minutes. Justin Edwards added 10 points.
Meeks started the Tar Heels’ final push with a pair of free throws, and Johnson added a putback moments later – one that perhaps could have been called interference. Joel Berry II added a 3 from in front of his own bench, and Jackson scored on a drive to the basket.
