New NRA-backed Kansas law seeks to limit lobbying TOPEKA (AP) — Fresh off a series of legislative victories across the nation, the National Rifle Association has launched a new effort starting in gun-friendly Kansas seeking to clamp down on the use of government money to lobby on gun-control issues. While it’s not clear how the law would be enforced considering it includes no penalties for violators, critics argue the measure threatens to stifle debate and give the state government far more control over a local government’s message. For instance, would university presi-

dents — now confronted with a new Kansas law to allow concealed-carry weapons on campuses — be able to travel on university time and salary to argue against the rule? Or, could a government agency even print a pamphlet about gun safety without running afoul of the law? “It does raise these questions about one side or the other becoming so dominant that it can close off opposing views,” said Gene Policinski, senior vice president for the nonpartisan First Amendment Center, based at Vanderbilt University. The Kansas law that takes effect next

month also prohibits the use of state dollars for “publicity or propaganda,” distributing materials or advertising. Although it imposes the same restrictions on both sides of the debate, gun-rights advocates pressed so much for it in the recently concluded legislative session that it was known inside the Statehouse as “the NRA bill.” For the NRA and other gun-rights advocates, the lobbying law is a good-government measure that prevents precious state dollars from being put to political use and another symbol of Kansas’ com-

Flying Fortress makes stop in Garden City Complete with its rich history — and iconic painted pinup of movie star Betty Grable — the B-17 “Sentimental Journey” has become part of the Garden City Regional Airport landscape this week. Here until Monday, the “flying fortress” was brought to Garden City by Brad Nading/Telegram the Commemorative Air Force wing in Mesa, Ariz. While it’s here, tours Sentimental Journey, a B-17 warplane, and flights will be offered to the pubshown Wednesday, is on display at Garden lic. Hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Designed by Boeing Aircraft Co. in City Regional Airport.

Preparation key for severe weather season

Seattle, the four-engine plane carried 8,000 pounds of bombs. Because of the ammunition’s weight, it could only hold a 10-man crew weighing 110 to 120 pounds each and standing 5-foot-5 to 5-7. Average age of crew members was 19, CAF Ground Supervisor Carl Russell said. Along with its payload, the plane features 13, 50-caliber machine guns and a 103-foot wing span. Ammunition cans carried nine yards of bullets, so when people use the expression “the whole nine yards,” it comes from

With severe weather season in full swing, there is heightened discussion about adequate storm shelters, preparedness and the importance of inventorying one’s personal belongings. In the wake of the May 20 tornado that devastated much of Moore, Okla., there also is much discussion regarding tornado shelter registries, something some places in Oklahoma use to provide information to help first responders locate possible victims. “The reason for that in Oklahoma is because of the ground; they can’t dig a basement, so people purchase underground bunkers,” said Carolyn Henry, executive director of the Western Kansas American Red Cross, adding that the registry helps expedite search efforts. She said it isn’t something she sees as being a necessity for southwest Kansas, since many people have basements or cellars, rather than underground bunkers. Garden City Fire Marshal Dan Wimmer said he sees no need for such a registry in Finney County. “We’re going to go house to house anyway. We would just go from one to the next,” Wimmer said. “You can’t jump around because otherwise you may miss a house that has someone (trapped) in it, so you have to do it systematically.” Henry thinks it’s more important for people of southwest Kansas who don’t have adequate shelter to know where to go in the event of a tornado. There are several 24-hour shelters in Finney County, including Holcomb Baptist Church, 403 Emmanuel Drive, Holcomb; Holcomb Community Church, 106 S. Henderson St., Holcomb; Pierceville Federated Church, 203 Avenue A, Pierceville; Finney County Health Department, 919 Zerr Road; Finney County Juvenile Detention Center, 507 W. Santa Fe St.; Finney County Law Enforcement Center, 304 N. Ninth St.; Garden City Police Underground Range, 114 Isabel Ave.; East Garden Village, 4101 E. U.S. Highway 50; Prairie Wind, 950 N. Jennie Barker Road. There are many other shelters that are available at other hours of the day. The complete list can be found on the Garden City Police Department’s website, www.gcpolice.org, under the storm shelters link. For additional information on sheltering alternatives, contact Finney County Emergency Management Agency at 2723746 or 272-3747. Henry said the bottom line is to be prepared.

mitment to gun-ownership rights. “People are going to look to Kansas,” said Brent Gardner, an NRA liaison who lobbies in four states, including Kansas. “People are starting to see a number of states becoming leaders in firearms rights.” Gardner said Kansas is the first state to enact a law restricting the use of state dollars on lobbying or other forms of advocacy specifically on gun-control issues, though legislators in Arizona and

Local rugby team to host tournament fundraiser for Bernal By SCOTT AUST

saust@gctelegram.com

The Garden City Jackalopes Rugby Club is hosting a four-team rugby tournament on Saturday to raise money for team member and Garden City High School teacher Jesse “Chuy” Bernal, who suffered a heart attack in April following a rugby match in Topeka. “We’re not charging admission. It’s a free-will donation toward Chuy’s medical fund,” team member B.J. Hamlin said. “At this point, any amount helps. We don’t have a target in mind, but anything people can give is greatly appreciated.” Rugby teams from Topeka, Manhattan and Wichita will join the Jackalopes for matches scheduled to start at 1 p.m. Saturday at Esquivel Soccer Park near Kenneth Henderson Middle School. “It’s a great thing to see rugby teams

from five or six hours away willing to come out and play for a cause like this,” Hamlin said. On April 27, the Jackalopes went to Topeka for some matches. Bernal had a heart attack at the after-party. “That little guy, he’s a tough guy, I’ll tell you that. Because during the match in Topeka he was giving hits left and right just as much as anyone else was,” Hamlin said. Afterward, discussions with the Topeka team sparked the idea of coming to Garden City during Beef Empire Days for some matches to try to raise money for Bernal’s medical expenses. “Through that, it kind of ballooned in to the first-ever Garden City 7’s tournament. So we’re real excited about that,” Hamlin said. “Chuy went to Washburn, so he has a lot of friends in the Topeka area, and he knew a lot of the guys on the Topeka team, as well.”

Janeé Bernal said her husband has made dramatic improvements and is doing well. After spending four weeks at St. Francis Hospital in Topeka, and the past week at Via Christi in Wichita, Jesse should be coming home to Garden City sometime today, she said. “His age has really worked in his favor because he’s so young. He’s 31. He has improved very quickly and has surprised a lot of the doctors and therapists because he’s made such a wonderful recovery,” Janeé Bernal said. “He told me that he hopes to make an appearance on the sidelines on Saturday.” Bernal said her husband will continue with outpatient therapy in Garden City as long as necessary and hopes to be able to resume teaching in the fall.

Cattle stolen from Syracuse feedlot By Amy Bickel Special to The Telegram

Another herd of cattle has gone missing in Kansas, marking at least five rustling cases in the past month. Terry DeVaughan, manager of Syracuse Commission in Syracuse, reported 31 cows stolen between midnight and 6 a.m. MDT on Sunday from the Hamilton County auction market’s pens.

DeVaughan said the cattle were 6 years of age or older, weighed an average 1,400 pounds and had multiple brands. The breeds included Angus, Charolais cross and Limousin cross. Each animal also had a state/federal back tag — white with black lettering. The cows also had silver tags in the right ear. DeVaughan said it was the first time in his 35 years in the business that cattle have been stolen from the sale barn. The case is

under investigation. Joel Blogref, with the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Department, said at least five cases have been reported to a law enforcement network he manages — the Construction, Agriculture, Livestock Information Network. There may be other rustling incidents in the state, he said. Since January, about 10 cases have been reported to the network, two of which were in Missouri.

Among the cattle stolen in May were 20 head of mixed steers at a Kismet feedlot. Meanwhile, in midMay, a herd of 19 heifers and steers stolen from a Kingman County farm mysteriously made it back home safe and sound after CALIN and media reports broke about the stolen livestock. Anyone who has information on this case can call DeVaughan at (620) 384-5259 or email CALIN at calin@sedgwick.gov.

Downtown Master Plan moves on in process By SCOTT AUST

saust@gctelegram.com

No one suggested changes to the 44-page draft Downtown Master Plan during a public meeting on Tuesday, allowing the document to move ahead to the July 18 planning commission meeting for discussion. After that, if no changes are made, the plan would later go to the city commission for discussion and approval. “The master plan is conceptual. It is very broad in scope, but nonetheless it gives direction about where we want the city to go in regards to the downtown area,” Roberto Becerril, city planner, said. The draft plan spells out the background that led to the master planning process, the steps the public went through in pro-

viding input about downtown, and lists the concepts and ideas for improving downtown over time. It also includes an implementation plan that covers short, medium and long-term goals. The master plan is intended to guide improvements or enhancements that will help attract more business and general activity to downtown. It is intended to create a framework that sets the character of downtown through open spaces and streetscapes for vibrant mixed-use retail and residential uses, and serves as a guide for future land use and development. Over the past several months, the city received about 250 responses to surveys, both online and in hard copy, and had about 80 people present at various community meetings with an average of 35 participants per

meeting. City staff also received input through letters, email, office visits and phone calls from concerned citizens who couldn’t attend the meetings. Some of the things in the plan include temporarily turning Main Street into a threelane road for a couple of years, developing spaces for cultural activities or things like a farmers’ market, and creating a gateway structure for downtown that would identify downtown as a special area of town. When implementing the plan, most people prefer starting with taking care of street and landscape maintenance issues, including keeping the historical feel of brick streets and adding more art locations. Many of those types of issues are things that could be accomplished in the short term. Others,

like developing a cultural district, building gateways and finding a location for a farmers’ market or other events would be mid-term projects to address over a couple of years. Long-term goals, like developing the Windsor Hotel, would be more market driven. Kaleb Kentner, planning and community development director, said the master plan will provide the city with a good tool for private developers or others looking to build something downtown. “Some of these things the city commission can’t do on its own. It’s got to be ideas coming from the public and championed by citizens who want to see those things happen,” he said. People can read the entire document at the city’s planning and community development department.

Beef Empire Days continues; tours set By BECKY MALEWITZ

bmalewitz@gctelegram.com

The Beef Empire Days tradition continues this weekend with food and fun. Events begin Saturday morning, when Commerce Bank hosts the Chuckwagon Breakfast in Stevens Park from 6:30 to 9:30 a.m. Patrons are invited to enjoy the all-you-can-eat pancake and beef sausage chuckwagon breakfast for $2. The theme of this year’s Beef Empire Days, “Beef … The Taste of Tradition,” will be on full display during Saturday’s parade along Main Street. Garden City’s largest parade begins at 10:30 a.m. and is expected to feature 100 or more entries. History lovers can take a tour of the Historic Windsor Hotel anytime between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Saturday. Parade-goers then can head back over to Stevens Park, where they can sample cuts of beef during the Chuckwagons in the Park Community Feed. The Beef Empire Days Awards banquet takes place at the Clarion Inn Saturday night. Social hour begins at 5:30 p.m., immediately followed by the awards banquet. Saturday also marks the final night for the Beef Empire Days PRCA Rodeo at the Finney County Fairgrounds Grandstand Arena, beginning at 7 p.m. Sunday’s Beef Empire Days events include a golf scramble at Buffalo Dunes Golf Course, beginning at 10 a.m. The Finney County Historic Home Tour, hosted by the Finney County Historical Society, begins at 1:30 p.m. Admission is $15. The Beef Empire Days Cattle Crawl is scheduled to depart from the Clarion Inn at 4:30 p.m. A bus

will take participants to several local restaurants, with each one serving up a different beef dish. For more information on Beef Empire Days events, visit beefempiredays.com. Other events this weekend include: • The Spencer Flight & Education Center will host an aviation youth day-camp, featuring U.S. Air Force Academy instructor and A-10 pilot Maj. Matt Basler and KC-135 pilot Shelby Basler, on Friday. While the morning session’s participation is limited to the Scott City Elementary School’s SCORE after-school program, the afternoon session from 1 to 5 p.m. is open to youth ages 10 to 18. “We are excited to utilize the SFEC in such an appropriate manner,” said Shawn Roberts, SCES principal. “The curriculum and schedule for the day camp will stir aviation enthusiasm in more than just one or two children. I expect every student to have an amazing experience.” All participants will have the opportunity to fly the SFEC’s fullmotion Redbird flight simulator and will receive a free plane ride. Youth also will participate in ground school break-out training sessions with the U.S. Air Force pilots and learn about the concepts of flight. Interested youth ages 10 to 18 can register at www.spencerflightcenter.com for a fee of $25. The afternoon youth session will be followed by a fly-in, free barbecue and a presentation by Basler titled “Training Like You Fight: The Benefits of Training in Combat Aviation.” Basler will share stories and first-hand video footage from his experiences as an instructor at the U.S. Air Force Academy and com-

bat pilot stationed in Afghanistan. The event is open to the public. “Anyone that has ever flown or dreamed of becoming a pilot will be entertained and fascinated as Maj. Basler ties his experiences back to the fundamentals of flight training,” said Brian Vulgamore, SFEC chairman. “It will be very eye-opening for students, pilots, or just aviation enthusiasts to hear the importance of proper flight training.” For more information about the day camp or evening event, contact Vulgamore at (620) 874-5075, or brian@vffarms.com. The SFEC’s mission is to actively promote the safety and success of western Kansas pilots and passengers by providing a local venue for high-quality flight instruction, in addition to various educational programs and resources for individuals of all ages. It houses the only full-motion flight simulator between Denver and Salina — a Redbird FMX — and hosts aviationrelated courses and programs for adults and youth. The center was established in memory of Dylan, Amy, Chase and Ansley Spencer of Scott City, who were killed in a small plane crash near Topeka over Easter weekend 2011. More information can be found at www.spencerflightcenter.com. • Friends of the Sandsage Bison Range and Wildlife Area guides will be available to give wildflower tours from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. The first tour will leave the range office, located on Business U.S. Highway 83, 0.4 miles south of the Arkansas River bridge, at 9:15 a.m., and a second tour will go out at 11:30 a.m. Space is limited, so reservations are required. Reservations can be made by calling Tom Norman at (620) 474-3645.

State’s latest tax bill defended TOPEKA (AP) — The chairman of the Kansas House committee on taxation says it’s “misleading” for Democrats to describe newly approved tax legislation as a tax increase. Republican Richard Carlson said Wednesday that the plan approved over the weekend is part of a larger tax reform effort that began last year. This year’s bill cancels most of a sales tax rollback scheduled for July and adjusts income tax laws to raise an additional $777 million over the next five years. In a fundraising email, Kansas Democratic Chairwoman Joan Wagnon described the measure crafted by Republicans as “tax hikes on working Kansans.” But this year’s tax bill followed legislation last year cutting income taxes by $4.6 billion over the next five years. Carlson said it’s “disingenuous” to suggest Kansans are paying higher taxes.

Add your comments at the end of the online is invited to version of this editorial at check out the GCTelegram.com/opinion. historic warbird for free. For $5, visitors can go inside the plane for a closer look. Taking in a tour promises to give visitors a glimpse of what it was like to be part of a bombing mission during World War II. Those who stop by also may purchase a seat for a flight on the plane for $425 (a seat in the nose of the plane runs $850.) Funds collected help keep the B-17 crisscrossing the nation for appearances at air shows and other venues. B-17s are among a number of historic warplanes saved by organizations that take time to restore the aircraft and keep them airworthy. Thanks to such labors of love, the nation still has a number of flying museums in B-17s, B-52 Stratofortresses and other notable warplanes. Each one has a story to tell. Development of the four-engine B-17 bomber — dubbed the “Flying Fortress” due to its defensive firepower — began in the 1930s. More than 12,000 were produced, with many used in bombing missions during World War II. The bomber later named “Sentimental Journey” was put into service by the United States in March 1945. Now, it’s on a mission to educate and inspire. By taking in veterans’ stories and artifacts of war, Americans can better comprehend the contributions and sacrifices of our military men and women. For example, youngsters should learn about the significance of D-Day in 1944 —— 69 years ago today — when 156,000 Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy and set the stage for the defeat of Nazi Germany. Without efforts to keep the stories of war alive — whether in veterans sharing memories or making it possible for others to experience war artifacts like the B-17 bomber — many important chapters in history could be lost forever.

Today’s Quotes “ ... New hotels are being built and others are in planning stages; evidently, occupancy is not a big problem! Perhaps more non-smokers will choose to stay somewhere else. Keep G.C. ‘smelling smoke-free’ and healthy for us all!”

— Online remark selected by the editorial staff from comments at GCTelegram.com in response to a story on a request from a group of local hoteliers for the city to change its anti-smoking ordinance to allow some rooms for smoking.

“In the aftermath of any substantial damage to our property, it’s likely many of us would be emotionally drained. The last thing we are going to want to do is make a list of everything we lost.”

Advice for Republicans: Chill Y

ou’d think they’d never seen a scandal before. Like the nerd hero of some R-rated sex comedy who suddenly finds himself alone with a willing girl for the first time, some on the Republican right are giddy, hyperventilating and acting a little goofy at the troubles now plaguing Team Obama. Not that one can’t understand their eagerness. It must feel like Wile E. Coyote finally nailing that bleeping Road Runner after years of Acme product failures. Similarly, after years of trying to manufacture scandals out of Palin mumblings, Limbaugh rantings and pixie dust (see ACORN, Shirley Sherrod, death panels and birthers), the right suddenly finds that it finally has some charges of real substance with which to yoke the White House. News that the IRS has unfairly targeted conservative groups is, indeed, troubling, outrageous and offensive to our fundamental notions of fairness and freedom. You’d think it would be difficult to overstate the seriousness of these misdeeds. But the modern conservative movement starts out with overstatement and works its way up from there. So, conflating this disaster and the less-compelling Benghazi story, a chorus of figures on the right — Dick Morris and Allen West among them — has begun raising the dread specter of impeachment. Then you have Peggy Noonan calling the IRS debacle “the worst” scandal since

COMMENTARY LEONARD PITTS Miami Herald

Watergate. And Michele Bachmann calling it “far worse than Watergate.” You even have a few bloggers who’ve dubbed it — you can’t make this stuff up — the worst. Scandal. Ever. And here, we could use a little course in Scandal 101, dig up the moldering bones of Monica Lewinsky, Valerie Plame, Iran-Contra, Teapot Dome and, yes, Watergate, to provide a little desperately needed context. But perhaps it is more instructive to point out that no less authoritative a personage than GOP chairman Reince Priebus himself has advised his party to take a chill pill. “We have to be persistent but patient,” Priebus said in an interview with Politico. “I think where there’s smoke, there’s fire. If we present ourselves to the American people as intelligent, we’re going to be in a great place as far as showing that this administration is not transparent, is obsessed with power and hates dissent. But you don’t call for impeachment until you have evidence.” Well, duh. Ya think? One hopes he’s not holding his breath waiting for his party to behave. If one trait has defined the conservative movement in recent years, it is its extremism,

its utter estrangement from reality. Recently, we’ve seen that impression quantified — yet again — from within the party’s own ranks. Bob Dole, the GOP’s 1996 presidential standard bearer, told Fox “News” neither he nor Ronald Reagan would likely be electable in today’s GOP. His party, he said, should be “closed for repairs.” And a group of college Republicans has issued a report that says the party must change to win over voters their age who consider it “closed-minded, racist, rigid, old-fashioned.” This latest behavior will not help. For years, the GOP playbook has called for inflating bare nothings — “Travelgate,” “Whitewater,” ACORN — into scandals. Their aim is neither truth nor justice, but the take down of an opposing president. But with this IRS story, there is finally some “there,” there. And the party does not know how to act. An old political axiom says that you should never interfere while an opponent is busy destroying himself. Not that Team Obama is destroying itself, but it is undeniably wounded. That should be the story here. Instead, the story is becoming — again — GOP overreach, opportunism and craziness. This might be a good moment for the party, says its chairman, “if we present ourselves ... as intelligent.” Sounds as if even he knows: that’s a mighty big if.

Undermining IRS issue for GOP Q

uick: someone call a chiropractor for California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa. He’s overreached so far his arm may separate from his shoulder. Even some key figures in his party are suggesting he needs an adjustment. F-a-s-t. Issa, a self-made millionaire who became famous — or infamous, depending on one’s perspective — when his $1.6 million donation helped propel the successful 2003 effort to recall California’s inept Gov. Grey Davis, is the increasingly high-profile, hyper-partisan Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. He’s known for declaring he’ll hold hearings on something that’ll prove wrong-doing on the part of the White House and bust the town wide open. His hearings usually are a bust. His latest escapade is a case of quintessential political self-destruction. Angry over the White House line in the scandal over the IRS targeting conservative groups, Issa called White House Press Secretary Jay Carney a “paid liar.” Forget for a minute that all politicians — including Issa — have press secretaries who give information their bosses give them to the press. Issa’s harsh language immediately made him seem more like fill-in host for conservative talker Mark Levin rather than a serious Congressional investigator. Significantly, Democrats seemed almost gleefully delighted to respond, while Republicans began discreetly began scurrying away from him. Former White House advisor David Plouffe on

COMMENTARY Joe Gandelman Cagle Cartoons

Twitter noted all the dropped charges and unproven suspicions from Issa’s past: “Strong words from Mr. Grand Theft Auto and suspected arsonist/insurance swindler. And loose ethically today.” Former White House Press secretary Robert Gibbs called Issa’s charge “stunning” and said Americans “want to see the IRS cleaned up, but they will understand quickly that Darrell Issa is doing nothing more than politicizing this event.” Republican Joe Scarborough said Issa’s language made him look bad. South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsay Graham on Fox said there was “no evidence” the White House directed the IRS probes and added: “Let’s not make it personal. Jay Carney is not the issue here. He’s the spokesman for the White House.” Arizona Sen. John McCain on CBS said he didn’t like the word liar: “I think that we should let these investigations take their course, let the facts come out.” The National Journal’s Ron Fournier, who often irks both parties, wrote: “Meet the best friend of a controversy-plagued Democratic White House: a demagogic Republican. In a reminder of how the GOP overreached during the Clinton-era sex scandal, Issa doesn’t seem capable of letting damning facts speak for themselves.” Meanwhile, George W. Bush’s former speechwriter

David Frum announced he was ending his blog at The Daily Beast due to some family tragedies and offered some parting key points for conservative reformers. One of them should be read by Issa: “Now Republicans are working themselves into a frenzy that will paralyze Congress for the next 18 months at least, and could well lead to an impeachment crisis,” Frum wrote. “As it becomes clear that the IRS story is an agency scandal, not a White House scandal, conservative reformers need to be ready to do their part to apply the brakes and turn the steering wheel. There will be a Republican president again someday, and that president will need American political institutions to work. Republicans also lose as those institutions degenerate.” Issa isn’t acting as if he’s stewarding a committee in a great institution seeking to learn the truth. He’s acting like a hyper-partisan with investigative powers who has already judged and desperately seeks something on the other party. He has not proven a thing yet. And, in the process, he’s destroying his own credibility — and the seriousness of questions raised about the IRS. Which should worry a lot of Republicans. And please the White House.

y son Gideon (age 9) assures me that he will be a good father someday, but will that be an empty accomplishment? In another 20 years or so will there even be a Father’s Day? At best, there will be a shortage of old-school, jackof-all-trades fathers. The current prissy “metrosexual” movement will decimate time-honored fatherly duties, such as grilling out (“There’s not enough moisturizer in the world to undo that smoke damage, boyfriend”) and the old “pull my finger” gag. (“No! Don’t pull my finger! You might mess up my manicure!”) According to a Pew Research Center analysis of Census and polling data, 40 percent of homes with children under age 18 already have a woman as the sole or primary breadwinner. Technology and cultural trends are just piling on to downgrade fatherhood into irrelevance. With the widespread use of driverless cars, dad won’t be needed for driving lessons. (OK, at least the metrosexuals won’t have to dig their fingernails into the dash.) Nor will dads be awakened at midnight to bail their kid out of jail. That’s because everything can be handled online, and there will even be an app for lecturing the kids with the voice of Ward Cleaver, Homer Simpson or Darth Vader. (“I am your father, Luke. Um ... father, noun, a male parent...”) Fathers won’t get to toss the ol’ pigskin around in the backyard with their kids, because college recruiters will be snapping up hot prospects earlier and earlier. (“Sign with our athletic department and we’ll get you room, board, a tutor — and we’ll even cut that unsightly umbilical cord for you.”) The traditional fatherly job of mercilessly intimidating his daughter’s beaus will meet with stiff competition. (“I’ve seen my student loan debt and my share of the national debt, so whatever you’ve got doesn’t scare me, old man!”) Fashion accessories may do away with the traditional father-daughter dance. (“Princess, the electromagnetic field from your piercings is messing with my pacemaker.”) Dads will no longer get to grouse “I’m not made of money!,” because they sort of will be, as they have to sell their blood and organs to pay health insurance premiums. Dads won’t even have the honor of saying, “Kids, let me introduce you to your new stepmother.” Social networking sites such as Facebook will always beat him to the punch. (“Ah, yes, Jessica — the perky attributes you displayed at your company picnic three years ago certainly explain what Dad sees in you.”) My extremist friends think cataclysmic climate change will intrude upon the fatherly task of hauling the family to the shore for an excursion, because the shore will be coming to meet THEM. (“Run! Run! Not even duct tape can stop it!”) Will Father’s Day 2033 find fathers so marginalized that they take a cue from a recent controversial exhibit in Berlin’s Jewish Museum? Jews have become such a small percentage of the German population that the museum came up with the idea of letting a real live Jewish person sit in a Plexiglas enclosure and answer questions from Gentiles. Not only is the idea of a Dad In A Box potentially humiliating, but it could eliminate the “species” entirely. (“No! Don’t pull my finger! I’m inside a glass box, for pity’s sake! Have mercy!!!”)

Flying Fortress: Historic warplane visits Garden City Continued from Page A1

emptying the ammunition container, Russell said. Although the outside looks large, the interior has some close spaces and sharp edges. The craft, which flew from Nov. 7, 1942, to May 17, 1943, has been immortalized in movies like “1941” and “Memphis Belle,” Russell said. “She’s the most complete flying B-17,” said Russell, who served in the Air Force and Air National Guard for 22 years. Rides will be offered to eight passengers at a time Friday, Saturday and Sunday. All of its fares are donations, and trips aboard cost more because it’s expensive to run and maintain the aircraft, Russell said. For a ride in the waist of the fuselage, where most of the gun crew stood, it’s $425. Rides in the navigator’s position are $850, Russell said. A low-level pass will be conducted over the Beef Empire Days Rodeo when it opens at 7 p.m. Friday at the Fairgrounds Arena. “The Commemorative Air Force, we have units all over

An afternoon American Eagle flight taxis to the runway Wednesday, passing a B-17 “Flying Fortress,” named Sentimental Journey, on display at Garden City Regional Airport. the United States. Our charter requires us to actually establish museums. We go from 1939 to 1944. Our job is to fly around — kind of a living museum,” Russell said. The CAF introduces the planes to communities that might not normally have an opportunity to see the aircraft.

The painting of Betty Grable on the nose has her with her back turned looking over her shoulder. Russell said this is because she was seven months pregnant at the time the painting was done. Paula Kimbrel and her children, Kelsey, 5, and Brayden, 2, loved the plane and said

— through their mom — that their favorite part was the guns. Kimbrel found out about the B17 from the airport’s Facebook page. “I think the kids really enjoyed looking at it and learning some more information about planes. It’s nice that they can climb in. Their history comes alive,”

Kimbrel said. Mason Chanay, 13, and his dad came to see the plane together. He added that he’d never seen a B-17 “up close and personal” before. “I think it’s pretty cool,” Chanay said. “It’s big.” Russell said the plane’s four engines are 1,200 horsepower each and burn about 50 gallons of fuel per hour, per engine. It can fly up to 30,000 feet with a bomb load. Most of the time, it operated at under 10,000 feet. The plane cruised at about 120 mph with a bomb load and could reach top speeds of 235 mph without bombs. “They hoped to make a round trip into the theatre of war and back home. You couldn’t refuel, so it’s usually filled up and makes the round trip, which could be up to 3,000 miles,” Russell said. Sentimental Jour ney arrived in Garden City by way of Albuquerque, N.M., and Colorado Springs, Colo., where it did a flyover of the Air Force Academy parade of cadets. The craft visits an average of 60 cities nationwide from April or May through October, depending on weather.

Storm season: Awareness, preparation important for severe weather Continued from Page A1

A May 28 press release from AAA offers the following as a checklist for tornado preparedness: • Emergency and first aid kits should be kept available, including a battery powered radio, extra batteries, food and water. • Communication of a plan with all family members.

• Learn children’s school disaster dismissal policy. • Identify a safe shelter area in your home, away from windows. Choose the interior part of a basement, or an inside room on the lowest floor like a closet, bathroom or center hallway. • Practice your plan with your family. • Know where your utility switches are located and

how to turn off gas, water and electricity. Prudential Financial Professional Josh Noel’s motto is, “Prepare for the worst; hope for the best.” He highly recommends that people inventory their belongings periodically to ensure they have adequate insurance coverage. “For personal property, we cover 75 percent of a person’s dwelling value and

that’s a pretty safe amount. A lot of people think their belongings don’t add up to that much, but it adds up quicker than people think,” Noel said, adding that people should perform an inventory every six to 12 months. “And make sure whatever you save that on, if it’s video, digital pictures, whatever it is, make sure where you put it is going to survive a storm or fire.”

He said having an online backup of the information is also good precaution. The stress involved in losing memorabilia and valuables makes the experience of losing one’s home even more difficult. Doing an inventory of one’s household belongings is one way to mitigate that stress. “In the aftermath of any substantial damage to our

property, it’s likely many of us would be emotionally drained. The last thing we are going to want to do is make a list of everything we lost,” said Jim Hanni, AAA Kansas spokesperson. “Preparing in advance for an unexpected disaster could mean a faster return to normal life, and a little less stress along the way, including a more speedy claims process.”

for Bernal. Students raised $2,500 themselves, and two anonymous community members each matched the students’ donation, bringing the total raised from the dance to $7,500, according to the school district. “We really want to express our deepest gratitude to the community.

They have been nothing but compassionate, supportive and kind throughout this process. We really want to thank people for the support,” Janeé Bernal said. Hamlin said that in addition to helping Bernal, Saturday’s rugby tournament is an opportunity to promote rugby in southwest Kansas. “It’s a great sport. For

men who are 18 and older who still want to play competitive sports, this is a great way to do it,” he said. The style of rugby played, “sevens,” pits two teams of seven players against each other. Matches are only 14 minutes long, with two, sevenminute halves in which the clock runs continuously.

“It’s a demanding 14 minutes,” Hamlin said. “You can sprint up to a mile in 14 minutes playing this game, so it’s extremely high energy. We’re sprinting and running, but it also involves hand-eye coordination, passing the

ball, and the physicality of it in taking and giving hits and keeping going.” On Saturday, each team will play the other three teams. Hamlin said there also likely will be thirdplace and championship matches, and if time

allows, there may be an opportunity to put on a game of no-contact, touch rugby for youth interested in learning more about the sport. “We’re hoping the weather cooperates. It should be a great day,” he said.

The National Conference of State Legislatures hadn’t heard of activity on the topic, and the idea is so novel that even the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence said it didn’t know enough about the law to comment on it. The immediate effect of the law is unclear, particularly considering conservatives encountered little resistance this year in pushing through the Legislature two measures broadly expanding the rights of gun owners. One loosens the restrictions on permit holders for carrying concealed guns into local government and state-run college buildings. The other flatly declares the

federal government has no power to regulate firearms, ammunition and accessories manufactured, sold and kept in the state. In the city of Lawrence, home of the University of Kansas, officials are frustrated over the concealed weapons law, and Mayor Mike Dever said the lobbying restriction could hamper local officials who want to change state or federal policies. “It kinds of creates an interesting dilemma for local government agencies, when they feel strongly about something and have to be careful,” Dever said. The western Kansas town of Hays has its own lobbyist in the Kansas Statehouse. Although Mayor Kent Steward said he isn’t particularly troubled by the new

GRAB LIFE

gun laws, he is concerned about the precedent it sends if the state government can restrict a local government’s lobbying on a divisive issue. “Anytime government starts getting into the area of limiting speech, it sends up a red flag,” he said. “ ... The best course may be, if you find one thing that’s distasteful, you may do better to put up with it.” Supporters said the bill is similar to past restrictions imposed by Congress on using federal funds for lobbying or political activities, and small-government, conservative Republicans in the Kansas Legislature have wanted for years to impose broad restrictions on local governments and school districts using their state dollars to hire Statehouse lobbyists.

Military wife annoyed by in-lawsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Is full hysterectomy warranted? inappropriate treatment of husband Dear Annie: My husband is a high-ranking officer in the military. He has worked hard to achieve his current position and is highly respected. The problem is, his family treats him like a child. In a few months, there will be a formal ceremony to mark his change of command. My in-laws will be in attendance, and they are certain to embarrass him. They insist on calling him by his unusual childhood nickname (he cringes every time). They talk down to him and give him gifts meant for children, such as books for teen boys (last Christmas), a small childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backpack (last birthday) and now a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s piggy bank, which they intend to present to him in front of his unit at the ceremony. These gifts are not intended as jokes. My husband is always gracious on the outside but horrified on the inside. Is there some way to remind his family that he is indeed an adult and has certainly earned the right to be treated like one? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Proud Military Spouse Dear Spouse: It is difficult to change ingrained behavior without the cooperation of all the people involved. Your husband apparently has determined that the best way to handle his parents is to leave things as they are. That is his choice. While we appreciate your desire to be supportive and protective, you

ANNIEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S MAILBOX KATHY MITCHELL MARCY SUGAR

might also be adding to his stress because your reaction is one of anger and embarrassment. Ask your husband whether he wants you to talk to his parents. If he says no, we urge you to separate their behavior from your husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation. His patient tolerance of their inappropriateness says many positive things about the strength of his character. Dear Annie: My nephew, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joe Smith,â&#x20AC;? has a Ph.D. He is marrying â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jane Doe,â&#x20AC;? who will soon have her M.D. What is the proper form of address for her? Would she be Dr. Jane Doe-Smith or Ms. Jane Doe-Smith or something else? When I address an envelope to both of them, do I write Dr. and Dr. Joe Smith or Dr. and Mrs. Joe Smith or The Doctors Joe and Jane Smith? It is difficult to be politically correct these days. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; S. Dear S.: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complicated, but not impossible. When introducing either of them, always use â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr.â&#x20AC;? If you are using titles when addressing an envelope, it would depend on whether it is formal (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Jane Smith and Dr. Joe Smithâ&#x20AC;?)

or informal (â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Doctors Smithâ&#x20AC;?), and whether she is retaining her maiden name (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Jane Doeâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Joe Smithâ&#x20AC;? on separate lines). If she is hyphenating her name, find out whether she prefers â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Jane DoeSmithâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Jane SmithDoeâ&#x20AC;? and use that. When in doubt, ask what the preference is. Dear Annie: I could identify with the letter from â&#x20AC;&#x153;California,â&#x20AC;? who found out after 40 years of marriage that her husband had been cheating on her with prostitutes for the past two decades. She was unsure of what to do next. I, too, had a husband who cheated on me for 20 years. His conquests were also often prostitutes. After 35 years of marriage and five kids, I gathered up all of my courage and filed for divorce. It was the most difficult thing I have ever done. Fast-forward four years. I am a gainfully employed, personally fulfilled and happy community volunteer who is dating a sweet, kind 65-year-old widower. This man loves, cherishes and respects me in ways I never thought possible. I feel like a queen! I may live three more years or 30, but I will never regret making the change I did. Remember that no one can go back and make a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Heart Full of Joy in Pennsylvania

DEAR DR. ROACH: nothing? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; E.A. I asked my colleague When is a full hysterectomy called for, as opposed to Kathy Huang, director of a partial one? I have a cyst minimally invasive gyneon one ovary that cologic surgery has not changed at New York in three years.

Based on her recommendation, I would ask you to think which is worse â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an operation (laparascopic operations, performed with three small incisions, are usually much easier than the older, open procedure), or getting the ultrasounds? It seems to me the surgery would be worse, but only you can make that decision.

Dear Readers: Are you one of the more than 35 million Americans who wear contact lenses? If so, here are some very helpful hints from the Food and Drug Administration about caring for contact lenses: â&#x20AC;˘ Always wash your hands before putting in or taking out your contact lenses. â&#x20AC;˘ Never place contact

â&#x20AC;˘ Do not use any expired solutions. â&#x20AC;˘ Do not reuse solution that contacts have been in. â&#x20AC;˘ When traveling, only use store-bought, travelsize containers of solution. Do not place contact solution into another container, because it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be sterile. â&#x20AC;˘ Every day, clean, rinse and air-dry the contact case, and completely replace the case every six months. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Heloise P.S.: I wear only one â&#x20AC;&#x153;softâ&#x20AC;? lens occasionally, so these hints are a good reminder for me.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med. cornell.edu or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Health newsletters may be ordered from www.rbmamall.com.

Taking proper care of contacts lenses in your mouth to wet them! (I know people do this, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gross!) â&#x20AC;˘ Do not shower or swim with your contact lenses in. Any type of water (ocean, tap, bottled, etc.) is not sterile and can cause infections. â&#x20AC;˘ Only use products and solutions that your eye doctor has recommended.

Thursday June 6, 2013 HAPPY BIRTHDAY The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Consider the role of control in your day-to-day life. You could be exhausted by a story, so stop and take the lead in this discussion. Your thoughts might not be as clear as you think. It also is possible that you don’t have the full story ... but you will. Tonight: Keep it low-key. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You’ll want to reach out to others right now. In fact, though you recently might have been rather upset with a friend, you will let the issues disappear. This person comes off as selfconfident, but underneath, he or she is very scared. Tonight: Make dinner your treat. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You are in an ambivalent period right now, in regard to what you want. Allow yourself the space to be worryfree. In the next few days, more information will come forward. You could be overthinking a problem. Let go of rigidity. Tonight: Whatever you do, it seems perfect. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Use the morning to the max, when others seek you out. Fatigue could be an issue by midafternoon. Confirm what you are hearing, as vagueness seems to follow you throughout the day. Perhaps a fact or two have been left out. Tonight: Relax to music. Try a jam session! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Deal with a problem before it becomes too big for you to handle. A friend or loved one might be feeling rather whimsical. This person is only too delighted to spend a lot of one-onone time with you. Remain levelheaded, even if you feel pressured. Tonight: In the limelight. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Tension builds. Understand that with the stress of feeling overwhelmed, you’ll want to consider reassessing a situation that could change your feelings and offer you a new perspective. A parent might want to share more of his or her feelings. Tonight: Get with the

DAY IN THE STARS

program. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Speak with someone directly, but keep in mind that he or she has been known to throw you off-kilter. Try not to internalize this person’s messages! Your sense of direction allows greater giveand-take. You might want to be closer, but in a more viable manner. Tonight: Your treat. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be touched by someone’s offer. How you feel and what you do with those feelings will make an enormous difference. Make a point of being more spontaneous and upbeat. A discussion puts a different slant on recent events. Tonight: Chat with loved ones over dinner. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH No one makes a bigger effort than you do when it comes to staying focused. Key relationships where you need to flex could mark your plans. Follow through in order to show that you do care. Tonight: Make a suggestion with the expectation that it will be considered. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Defer to someone who seems confident and who has seen several of your ideas carried out. This person likes what he or she has seen. Be more open to possibilities that might be suggested. You have enough energy to zero in on what you want. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Lighten up, even if you are having difficulty achieving more of what you want. The moment you relax, nearly everything will fall into place. You could see a situation much differently, at that point. Allow more playfulness in. Tonight: Start the weekend early. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Deal with a family member directly. You might not be getting the results you want. If you call it an early day and head home, you could be a lot more comfortable. Try to imagine how someone else might feel in the same situation. Tonight: Kick back and see what happens.

Still atop the leaderboard

Wetterich, Campbell lead boys, girls divisions in AJGA Kansas Junior at Buffalo Dunes. By BRETT MARSHALL

bmarshall@gctelegram.com

It seems as though weather was as big a story for the 2013 spring sports season in southwest Kansas as the events themselves. So, why would anyone expect early June in Garden City to be any different? Thus, when Mother Nature blew into town Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, dropping the temperature into the mid 50s with the wind howling 25-35 mph out of the north, the 96 players in the American Junior Golf Association’s Kansas Junior had to face conditions that they had not seen for the previous four days. It was, as one parent was overheard saying, “it’s a day not even the birds could enjoy.” But perseverance won out for those who had sat atop the first-round leaderboard, and following Wednesday’s second round, Cincinnati, Ohio’s Daniel Wetterich and Carrolton, Texas’ Emily Campbell, held their leads heading into today’s final round at Buffalo Dunes Golf Course. Wetterich, a junior-to-be, birdied his final hole with a 15foot putt to finish with a round of even-par 72 and is at 142, 2under-par. That left him one shot in front of Michael Hodson of Amarillo, Texas, and Aaron Guanlao of Haslet, Texas, both of whom shot 73s to finish at 1under-par 143. Campbell, meanwhile, whose first-round 71 provided a twoshot lead, increased her margin by one with a steady 3-over-par 75, which provided her a 36-hole total of 146, three shots in front of Courtney Dow of Frisco, Texas, who also shot 75 and came in at 149. Ana Ruiz of Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico, was at 151 (73-78) and Daniela Darquea of Quito, Ecuador, (79) was at 152. The second round was played in blustery conditions that made driving the ball, iron shots and putting all uncertain after the Tuesday opening round was played in near-ideal conditions. “The course was a lot differ-

Driving was hard, too, because the ball gets up really high. It was tough.” Campbell’s round started off with a bogey on the opening par-5 before she reeled off seven straight pars. She bogeyed the tough ninth into the wind for an outgoing 38. She then bogeyed the 10th and 11th holes. “I had that string of three bogeys in a row and I was getting mad at the conditions,” Campbell said. “I had to tell myself don’t get frustrated and take one shot at a time. If you get ahead of yourself, you’re gonna make a lot of bogeys. I learned that the hard way. I did that out on the course, but I was able to fight back and do the best I could.” Indeed, Campbell righted her game and birdied the par-3 12th before making bogey at the 14th. It was on the 16th that she perhaps came up with her best shot of the day on the downwind par-

“I hit my driver 280 and had 157 in, but it was playing 20 yards downwind,” Campbell said. “I hit 8-iron to 25 feet, missed the putt, but I had tap-in for birdie. That was nice.” She parred the difficult uphill par-3 17th and then bogeyed the 18th which was playing into the teeth of the northeast wind. “I thought my ball striking was really good,” Campbell said in assessing her round. “The putting was OK. It was on and off. The driving was decent. I feel like I need to go work on my putting a little bit, and a little on the driver, and I’ll be good to go tomorrow.” Campbell said there was no one turning point in hitting golf shots that made her round, but did say a decision to switch golf gloves made a big difference in getting her game back on track. “Honestly, when I switched my golf golve (from rain glove to normal glove), that really helped things,” Campbell said. “I guess I had a better feel in my hands. That helped things actually a

I think tomorrow the wind won’t be as bad and I can have a chance to have a good number. I’m excited and just hope to do well tomorrow.” Wetterich seemed able to handle much of the difficult weather, although indicated he spent plenty of time finding his ball in the tall native grasses of the Dunes rough area. “It was an adventure at times,” Wetterich said. “Some of the shots I still had to hit low, hit down on it with a high-lofted club to keep it low.” Wetterich said he spent parts of the round scrambling and then finding ways to get it up and down to save par. Two times during the round Wetterich was able to deliver shots that enabled him to make birdie. The first came on the par-5 fifth when his 4-iron second shot landed well left of the green. He pitched it over a greenside bunker, nearly holing the shot and having a two-inch tap-in birdie.

The second was on another par-5, the 13th which usually plays downwind, but on Wednesday was straight into the northerly gale. A 4-wood from 250 yards out came to rest 15 feet from the flagstick and he twoputted for birdie. But it was the shot from under the tree on the 18th that had Wetterich smiling. “I ended on a good note today,” he said. “I hit a knockdown shot to 15 feet and made the putt. I’m just going to relax, have some fun and I’m pretty excited for tomorrow.” TOUGH ON LOCALS: Garden City’s three players all had difficult days Wednesday in the chilly conditions. Taylor Larsen and Daniel Gaspar had rounds of 81 and 83 to finish their 36-holes with totals of 156 and 160. Abbi Shaddix had an 86 to go with an opening 79 and was at 165. The leaders are set to tee off between 11:45 a.m. and 12:25 p.m. today.

Wildcats’ baseball capping big year for K-State athletics KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — It was about nine games into the Big 12 season when Kansas State baseball coach Brad Hill started to hear murmuring in the clubhouse. The football team had won a conference championship. So had the men’s basketball team, sharing with in-state rival Kansas. “So they started to ask, ‘Why can’t we?”’ Hill recalled in a phone interview with The Associated Press. “All of a sudden, they started to think about the idea. They started throwing it out there and they started believing. And then they started building.” Fast-forward a couple months and the Wildcats have set a school record for victories, captured that elusive conference title, are off to Oregon State this weekend for a best-of-three series that could land them in the College World Series. It would be a fitting capstone to the

most memorable season in school history. “This program is two wins away from playing in Omaha, and that’s every kid’s dream,” Hill said Wednesday. “And at Kansas State, that hasn’t been much of a reality.” Might as well dream big at K-State this year, though. All of those dreams are coming true. Take the perennially underrated football program, picked to finish sixth in the conference, which went 11-2 and won its third ever conference title. If not for a lousy night at Baylor, the Wildcats and 73-year-old Bill Snyder would have likely been playing for a national championship. Still, the Wildcats landed in a BCS bowl game, and Snyder was rewarded with a new five year-deal in January that includes base compensation of $14.75 million and rolls over each season. Already, season tickets for next season

are sold out, as are two home games, and school officials believe the rest of the tickets remaining could be snapped up before this week is out. Then basketball season rolled around, and prognosticators again picked the Wildcats to finish in the bottom half of the league. But under new coach Bruce Weber, that plucky bunch went 27-8 and tied with Kansas for its first regular-season conference championship in 36 years. The only other schools to win football and basketball crowns in the same year? Oklahoma and Texas, two schools with far more financial resources at their disposal. The success hasn’t been limited to high-profile, high-revenue sports, either. Tennis player Petra Niedermayerova reached the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament, along the way becoming the school’s career leader for singles wins in a season and a career. The women’s hoops

team overcame a slew of injuries to reach the semifinals of the NIT. The volleyball team went 21-9 and again reached the NCAA tournament, and will be part of Team USA at the World University Games this summer. This weekend, the Wildcats have several athletes competing in Oregon at the track and field national championships. One of them, Olympic high jump silver medalist Erik Kynard, heads into the meet ranked No. 2 in the world with a school-record and season-best jump of 7 feet, 8 3/4 inches. Kynard will be trying to win his third national championship — the only others to accomplish that feat are Ken Wiesner of Marquette in the 1940s and Dave Albritton of Ohio State in the ‘30s. “We haven’t talked about it, so I don’t know how significant it is to him. I just know he wants to win every meet he is in,” Kansas State coach Cliff Rovelto said.

Blues win season opener NBA Finals: James can get back at Spurs By The Telegram The Finney County Blues baseball team opened its 2013 summer season on Tuesday with an 8-7, 8-inning victory over Lakin at Clint Lightner Stadium. The Blues scored the gamewinning run when Jake Curran was walked with the bases loaded, scoring Robert Tomlin. Curran pitched a complete game in picking up the victory, striking out nine and walking just two. Down 7-5 going into the bottom of the seventh, the Blues scored twice to tie it and send it to extra innings.

Logan Dechant led the offensive attack with four hits, three of which were doubles. Tomlin went 3-for-5 and had three stolen bases. In the second game of the scheduled doubleheader, the Blues were ahead 4-1 in the bottom of the first before it was called due to inclement weather. Next up for the Blues will be the weekend Ulysses Tournament, which gets under way on Friday and concludes Sunday. The Blues’ next home game will be at 6 p.m. Tuesday against Lamar, Colo., at Clint Lightner.

MIAMI (AP) — Before reaching the top of basketball, LeBron James was run over by the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs swept James’ Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2007 NBA Finals, so long ago that the winning game plan focused on exploiting James’ weaknesses. Those are nearly impossible to find now, and James essentially warned the Spurs that they shouldn’t bother looking. The Spurs already know. “He’ll be a lot more of a problem than he was in ‘07, that’s for sure,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said Wednesday. Tim Duncan told the beaten

James minutes after that series that the league would someday belong to him, and he was right. The NBA’s MVP guided Miami to last year’s championship and the league’s best record this season. Now the Spurs will try to take it back. But James is now the best player in the game, is surrounded by more talent in Miami than he ever had in Cleveland, and still carries the memory of the beating the Spurs laid on him six years ago. “I have something in me that they took in ‘07. Beat us on our home floor, celebrated on our

home floor. I won’t forget that. You shouldn’t as a competitor. You should never forget that,” James said. He joined the Heat in 2010, experienced more finals failure a year later, then was finals MVP last year when Miami beat Oklahoma City in five games. Another title now would put him halfway to the four that Duncan and Popovich have won together. “That’s what I’m here for,” James said. “I’m here to win championships, and you’re not always going to be on the successful side. I’ve seen it twice, not being on the successful side.” He was just 22 at the time.

It’s all enough to render Friday’s other semifinal something of an afterthought, even if local fans have a rooting interest when No. 6 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France faces No. 4 David Ferrer of Spain. Tsonga, who beat Roger Federer in the quarterfinals, wants to give France its first male champion at Roland Garros since Yannick Noah 30 years ago.

victory over No. 12 Tommy Haas in Court Suzanne Lenglen lasted just 17 minutes longer. Now comes the showdown everyone’s been anticipating since the field was set nearly two weeks ago: A Djokovic vs. Nadal semifinal Friday that will have the feel of a final, and not only because they met for the championship at Roland Garros a year ago. “A lot of people in the tennis world are looking to the matchup coming up with Rafa and Novak,” said Haas, who at 35 was the oldest French Open quarterfinalist since 1971. “I’ll definitely be watching.” Djokovic owns six major titles, Nadal 11. “I would prefer an easi-

Nadal, Djokovic to meet in French semis PARIS (AP) — The ease with which Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic swept aside their quarterfinal opponents at the French Open was remarkably similar. Both men won in straight sets Wednesday, hardly challenged. Both earned 12 break points, Nadal converting seven, Djokovic five. Nadal’s serve was broken only once, Djokovic’s twice. In what amounted to heavy-duty practice sessions for the real test that lies ahead, Nadal needed 1 hour, 56 minutes to beat No. 9-seeded Stanislas Wawrinka 6-2, 6-3, 6-1 in Court Philippe Chatrier, while a short walk away, Djokovic’s 6-3, 7-6 (5), 7-5

Starting up a diet the smart way R

eady to lose weight and get healthy? From day one, choosing the right strategy can boost the odds you’ll lose weight and keep it off, and see improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar numbers a year later. A new, headline-grabbing report says tackling diet and exercise together is the key. But another report, ignored by most of the media, suggests there’s more to this story. Researchers from Stanford University followed 200 dieters and discovered those who jumped head-first into a healthier lifestyle — upgrading to five to nine servings of fruit and vegetables a day, slashing artery-clogging saturated fat, and making sure they got 150 minutes of exercise a week — were still going strong 12 months later. In contrast, those who made gradual changes were less successful. Going all-out at the start can be smart. Your motivation is high. You’ll get faster results, which will keep you motivated, too. That’s why we think it’s wise to do at least two things when you’re ready to make a healthy change: 1. Commit to a half-hour walk or other exercise every day and 2. clean out your fridge, replacing the

Five Food Felons (saturated and trans fats, simple sugars and syrups and refined carbohydrates) with goodfor-you produce, whole grains, low-fat or fat-free dairy products, good fats (olive and canola oil) and lean protein (skinless poultry and fish such as salmon and ocean trout). A second study from Stanford scientists didn’t get as much attention, but it reveals another effective way to lose it and keep it off. The discovery: finding “tricks” that can help you maintain weight loss before you start on your healthy regimen has great results and dieters regain 60 percent LESS weight a year later. Here’s what they learned, plus other non-

diet tricks that will make good health central to your life now and for all the (added) years to come: Avoid feeling deprived. Put effort into finding healthy splurges that taste as good as the foods you crave. Could be a great veggie burger in place of a double-stacked cheeseburger, a big bowl of berries and an ounce of dark chocolate instead of molten chocolate cake, or hearty whole-grain bread slathered with almond butter and strawberries instead of a grilled cheese sandwich. Aim for an ideal weight range, not just one number. If you weigh yourself every day for a week, you’ll see how you add and subtract pounds naturally. So set your weight goal in a 5-pound range. If you are too rigid, you’ll get discouraged. Turn in earlier. Staying up into the late hours could lead you to eat 500 extra calories a day. And too-little sleep changes your body chemistry, so when you lose weight you’re losing more muscle and less body fat — not what you want to do for your metabolism or your health. With the right amount of sleep, it’s smart to add 20 minutes of strength training, twice a week; you’ll build lean, sexy muscle and stay

strong. Just add water. Sipping a large glass of water (16 ounces) before each meal — and tracking it in your healthy-change journal (you are keeping one, aren’t you?) — could help you lose extra pounds and keep that weight off. It’s an easy change worth diving into! Stay enthusiastic. Motivation dips after the first four weeks on a diet. So for week five, review and celebrate your progress. People who appreciate what they’ve been able to accomplish are less likely to let a small slip-up (I know I shouldn’t have had that ice-cream cone!) derail an enduring commitment to adopting more healthy habits. Also, consider joining an online or in-person support group. Get a workout buddy if you don’t have one; it’s the No. 1 way to keep yourself on track. And if you haven’t been writing down your food and exercise choices, start now. Keeping a journal doubles weightloss success.

or weight. So, start walking daily and doing muscle-building exercises every other day — before surgery. You’ll increase muscle strength and lose weight (if you need to). We also recommend you reduce inflammation (joint damage and pain create a lot) with these additional five steps: 1. Eliminate saturated fats and trans fats, added sugars and sugar syrups and refined carbs from your diet. 2. Eat colorful veggies

and fruits, and 100 percent whole grains. 3. Take 900 IU of antiinflammatory DHA omega3 from algal oil and consider taking 420 mg of purified omega-7. 4. Meditate daily to reduce stress — a super flame-thrower. 5. Spend time having fun with friends, family and your honey. Q: I’m 60 and worried about macular degeneration. My friend has it, and her doc says she should take supplements to keep it from progressing. Is there anything I can take to prevent it? — Tamara S., Seattle A: We’re glad you asked! There’s a new study (called AREDS2) that might give the impression you can’t decrease your risk for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). But you can! And supple-

ments can slow down progression once you’re diagnosed with advanced AMD, too. (That’s what your friend’s doctor is suggesting, we bet.) AMD is loss of central vision: Dry AMD (90 percent of cases) happens when the center of the retina, called the macula, thins or breaks down, and cells located there that transmit images cannot send info to your brain. Generally, this doesn’t progress rapidly. But sometimes it evolves into Wet AMD. This latter, wet form (it causes 90 percent of AMD-related severe vision loss) happens when there’s growth of abnormal blood vessels around the macula that leak and cause scarring. There are effective treatments when used early on. And taking what are called AREDS supplements can slow progression.

Q: I’m 54 and headed for a total hip replacement. Any advice for me? — Sandy R., Cincinnati A: Jane Fonda tweeted before her total knee replacement: “So long, left knee. You’re toast!” Since then she’s been unstoppable. Eddie Van Halen got a new hip at 44 — more than 13 years ago; he said it was “heaven sent.” For YOU and the more than 332,000 folks who have hip replacements and the 719,000 with total knee replacements every year, these remarkable surgeries offers more than a chance to be physically active and pain free. They can put zip in your dip and a younger RealAge in your future. Study after study shows restoring mobility and removing chronic pain slashes your chance of developing diabetes, depression and heart failure, and we’d add weight gain, dementia and a lousy sex life to that list. More than 90 percent of people with hip and knee replacements get pain relief and never need a revision. But that doesn’t mean these procedures are a walk in the park, especially if you’re obese or inactive before the surgery, as 93 percent of joint replacement patients are! That doubles the risk of infection after surgery and makes it a bit more likely that you’ll need surgical revision down the road. You may get pain relief, but not long-term improvement in mobility
