Immigration debate clears procedural hurdle WASHINGTON (AP) — In Spanish and English, the Senate pushed contentious immigration legislation over early procedural hurdles with deceptive ease on Tuesday as President Barack Obama insisted the “moment is now” to give 11 million immigrants in the United States illegally a chance at citizenship. Despite the lopsided votes, Republicans served notice they will seek to toughen the bill’s border security provisions and impose tougher terms on those seeking to gain legal status. “This bill has serious flaws,” said their party leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, one of several who noted pointedly that the 60-vote majority they will demand for passage is hardly assured. Even before the first proposed changes were considered, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a potential 2016 Republican presi-

dential contender, outlined the complicated state of play for a measure that he helped draft as a member of the bipartisan “Gang of Eight” and now seeks to alter. With changes to tighten control of the U.S.-Mexican border, he said, about half of the Senate’s 46 Republicans are prepared to vote to create the pathway to citizenship that is backed by most or all of the 55 lawmakers aligned with the Democratic majority. At the White House, Obama said repeatedly the current immigration system is broken, for the foreign-born who live in the United State legally and illegally alike. Referring to the 11 million currently in the country unlawfully, he said, “Yes, they broke the rules; they didn’t wait their turn. They shouldn’t be let off easy. They shouldn’t be allowed to game the system.

But at the same time, the vast majority of these individuals aren’t looking for any trouble. They’re just looking to provide for their families, contribute to their communities. ‘’ At its core, the bill sets out a 13-year journey to citizenship for the millions of immigrants who arrived in the United States illegally through the end of 2011 or who overstayed their visas. That journey would include paying fines and back taxes and other measures. The bill also requires a tighter border to prevent future illegal immigration. Other key provisions would create a new program for low-skilled workers to enter the country and expand the number of visas for high-skilled who are particularly in demand in technology firms. The bill also jettisons a decades-old system that favors family ties over education,

job skills and other factors in prioritizing prospective legal immigrants. Obama didn’t say so, but the legislation is likely his best hope of achieving a second-term landmark domestic accomplishment. Numerous Republicans hope to use the issue to repair their party’s image among Hispanic voters, a growing portion of the electorate in key states, and a group that polls show gave Obama 71 percent of its votes last year. But the GOP is divided, with tea party-backed lawmakers and other conservatives resisting anything that smacks of amnesty or otherwise seems to permit legalization without assuring the long border with Mexico in particular is virtually closed to future unlawful immigration.

GCRC mulling switch from city to USD 457 tax base By SCOTT AUST

The Garden City Recreation Commission has started discussing the possibility of changing its tax base from the city of Garden City to USD 457. John Washington, GCRC superinten-

dent, said the board is in the information gathering phase and doesn’t expect discussions about the pros and cons of the idea to get rolling for a few months until the annual budget process is completed. “It won’t happen for a while because everybody is either coming on to a new budget year or getting ready to submit

budgets. More than likely, it would happen in August or September, if we’re going to push it forward,” he said. The idea initially was discussed at the GCRC board of directors’ April 29 meeting. Washington said the proposal has not yet been taken to the Garden City Commission or the USD 457 Board of

Audit outlined scale problems in 1996 Editor’s note: State inspectors have rejected dozens of large scales in the past year but handed out few penalties to the private companies that service those scales, despite promising a “new day” of scale regulation in November. This is the third in a three-part series of stories by The Topeka Capital-Journal examining the state’s scale issues.

UniBridge Scales in Oklahoma, said when he perused those 45 pages recently, he got a feeling of deja vu. “I’ve read a lot of it,” Hamilton said. “And that’s what needs to happen today.” Hamilton could be referring to the state commissioning another audit — he has advocated for that. But he also could be saying it is time for the department to dust off the 1996 audit’s recommendations because he believes they are just as relevant, or perhaps more so, now. Hamilton’s company is one of the private scale operators licensed to inspect and service scales in Kansas. He made See Scales, Page A5

Officials urge caution in record-breaking heat Red Cross, Safe Kids Kansas offer tips for keeping cool and staying safe. By ANGIE HAFLICH

ahaflich@gctelegram.com

High temperatures in Garden City Monday and Tuesday broke long-standing records, serving as a reminder for people to stay cool to avoid heat-related illness, injury or death. A high of 108 degrees on Monday broke the previous record of 105 set on June 10, 1976, and Tuesday’s high temperature — also of 108 degrees — beat an even older record of 102 set on June 11, 1953. With wind speeds of 23 to 26 mph, gusting to as high 36 mph, much of southwest Kansas was also under a red flag warning, meaning that critical fire weather conditions are occurring. National Weather Service Meteorologist Marc Russell said temperatures are expected to drop below the 100-degree mark as the week progresses, but not by much. “It’s still going to remain warm. I wouldn’t say it’s going to be cool by any means, but we’ll get a little respite from this real

hot stuff. Beginning (today), we’ll see temperatures right around 100 degrees, instead of 105 to 110, and really for the rest of the week it’s going to be pretty close to that,” Russell said. On days that the heat index is above 105, continued exposure or physical activity can result in severe heat-related illness and death. According to www.nws.noaa. gov, the risk for heat-related illness can be reduced by avoiding strenuous activities; wearing lightweight, light-colored clothing; eating lighter and avoiding foods like meat and other proteins that increase metabolic heat production and water loss; drinking plenty of water, nonalcoholic and decaffeinated fluids; spending more time in airconditioned places; and avoiding sun exposure, which reduces the body’s ability to dissipate heat. Recognizing the symptoms of the three heat-related types of conditions — heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke — is also important. According to the American Red Cross website, www.redcross.org, heat cramps are muscular pains and spasms that usually occur in the legs or abdomen. Heat cramps are often an early sign that the body is having trouble with the heat. Heat exhaustion is more

severe than heat cramps and often affects those wearing heavy clothing in a hot, humid environment. Heat stroke symptoms include extremely high body temperature, red skin that may be dry or moist; changes in consciousness; rapid, weak pulse; rapid, shallow breathing; confusion; vomiting; and seizures. Heat stroke is life-threatening. If a person shows signs of heat stroke, call 911 immediately. Children and the elderly are particularly at risk during hot weather. Mike Wilson, 61, Garden City, who suffers from heart and breathing problems, said a good Samaritan came to his rescue Tuesday. “I could not find anybody to work on my water cooler and saw a guy in his truck across the street who said he was willing to work on it. He came over and found my problem and replaced my motor today,” Wilson said, expressing his appreciation to Eddie Correa, owner of Fast Eddie’s Appliance Repair. “As you get older, the heat gets to you, so he more or less rescued me this summer.” Children are also susceptible to the heat. According to a press release from Safe Kids Kansas, from 1998 to the present, at least 569 children have died from heat stroke

because they were left unattended in vehicles. “Even on a mild day, the inside of a car can quickly become very hot. This is a place no child should be alone, and because children’s bodies heat up three to five times faster than adults, this makes them much more susceptible to heat stroke,” Cherie Sage, state director of Safe Kids Kansas, said. Safe Kids Kansas offers the following tips for avoiding heat stroke-related injury and death: Never leave a child alone in the car, even for a minute; consistently lock unattended vehicle doors and trunks; place a purse, briefcase, gym bag, cell phone or an item that is needed at your next stop in the back seat near the child; set the alarm on your cell phone or computer calendar as a reminder to drop your child off at child care. “Reaching parents and caregivers with ways to prevent these tragedies will no doubt help keep kids safe. These heartbreaking incidents can happen to anyone, and public education is vital to combating these preventable occurrences,” Sage said. The American Red Cross also offers information about types of first aid to administer to treat heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke on its website, www.redcross.org.

Area Agency on Aging offers respite for caregivers T

he following information is provided by Michael Johnston, family caregiver coordinator with the SouthWest Kansas Area Agency on Aging: I recently attended a training session put on by the Alzheimer’s Association of Central and Western Kansas. The information provided about the disease was excellent, as was the information about the resources available through the Alzheimer’s Association. As the family caregiver coordinator, I was most interested in the availability of respite grants for caregivers. Through the Family Caregiving Program with our Agency, we are able to provide respite stays for caregivers. This means arranging with the caregiver to have someone, usually a home health aide, come into the home and stay with the loved one while the caregiver takes a break from their care-giving duties or arranging for someone to come into the home. How the caregiver utilizes that time is up to them. We have had caregivers take the time to go to the bank, grocery shopping, getting their hair done and even just using the time to take a nap. This kind of respite can be taken on a recurring basis, weekly or monthly. The other type of respite is temporary placement in a nursing facility for up to seven days. This request usually comes when the caregiver needs to be out of town, perhaps to attend a wedding, a graduation, a funeral or a family reunion. Our program can pay for the full cost of this type of stay. With both types of respite, the request for respite comes to our office and our case management team makes the determination of whether care-giving funds or

other funding sources can best be utilized to meet the request. Oftentimes, our budget limitations mean utilizing more than one funding source. Occasionally, a request for respite must be denied due to lack of funding. The Alzheimer’s Association has available respite grants up to $600. In order to apply for this service, you will need to contact the Alzheimer’s Association prior to receiving at-home care or being admitted to a nursing facility. After approval, your loved one may then begin receiving in-home or nursing facility care. The caregiver pays out of pocket for the care, and the receipts are turned into the Alzheimer’s Association. To see how to qualify for this care, the caregiver can contact Jenna Huffman at the Alzheimer’s Association of Central and Western Kansas at (316) 267-7333, or go to www. alz.org to get an application for reimbursement. This service is available once a year from June to July. This additional resource for respite stays is important information for caregivers to know. There are many resources for caregivers in our service area. If you are a caregiver and would like more information about resources available in our area, please contact me at SWKAAA, P.O. Box 1636, Dodge City, KS 67801, or call (620) 225-8230 (outside of Dodge City, call 1-800-7429531) or email me at Michael. johnston@swksaging.org.

earing heat hit the region like a freight train. After a pleasant weekend, the region was smacked with blast furnace-like weather usually reserved for the summer months. Garden City’s high soared to a blistering and record-setting 108 degrees Monday, and the area forecast called for a string of What’s the best way to stay high temperacool when hot weather tures topping hits? Add your comments the century at the end of the online mark. version of this editorial at Sadly, it’s GCTelegram.com/opinion. the same old refrain for southwest Kansas. Last year, a June heat wave was so nasty that it was a reminder of the previous year’s vicious onslaught of heat, when the region endured the hottest July since official weather information was first recorded in 1946. But that was July. As for last year, the early heat arrived before the official start of summer, which begins June 21 this year. Unfortunately, it’s a troubling trend in horribly hot weather arriving earlier — the kind of development that delivers a stark reminder of the need to be prepared. Everyone should use caution when going outside, whether it’s to work or participate in other outdoor activities that may not seem strenuous, but can be perilous in extreme heat. Hot weather can attack anyone. Heat cramps, heat exhaustion, heat stroke and other ailments may occur with prolonged exposure and/or physical activity when temperatures soar. The National Weather Service reminds people to drink plenty of water; wear lightweight, light-colored clothing; take plenty of breaks during outdoor activity; and avoid prolonged exposure between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. on hot days. People also should keep an eye on elderly and disabled friends and neighbors, and others without air conditioning or other means to stay cool. Pets should be kept indoors whenever it’s extremely hot. When that’s not possible, they need plenty of fresh, clean water and shady places to cool off. Never leave a dog or cat inside a parked vehicle in the heat, even for a few moments. This year’s earlier-than-normal heat wave points to more miserable days ahead. Think ahead before going outdoors. Find ways to stay cool and keep an eye on those most vulnerable. As always, some extra kindness and attention could be a lifesaver.

Emphasis on what matters most I

t was never quite clear what feminizing the workplace would mean when women en masse invaded corporate America a generation ago. Most of us donned our Mao suits, bow ties and sensible shoes and did our best to blend in. The workplace didn’t become more feminine; women became more masculine. Then along came “Sex and the City.” The new working girl was glam, femmed-out to the max in sheer tops, short skirts and stilettos. She was brash, tough (neurotic) and, above all, sexy. Where the previous generation of women had tried to camouflage their sexuality, the new generation flaunted every inch. Much, and little, has changed over the decades. Women are exceeding their male counterparts in education. One in four earns more than her husband. The office may not have a fern bar, but there’s likely to be a private space for breast pumping. Our fight for on-site child care has given way to a tsunami of Third World nannies. To the point: Women are reaching equality as never before. Certainly many struggle to keep food on the table. But in the salons where luckier women discuss what women really want, they are reaching the traditional benchmarks of happiness — money and power — and guess what: They’re still not happy. Before you roll your eyes and wake up poor, old, tired Dr. Freud, listen up. Women aren’t happy precisely because they tried to fit themselves neatly into the male template of what constitutes happiness. And, voila — please do sound the gongs — men and women are different. Of course women want wealth and power, but not at the expense of the things that

matter most — equilibrium, inner peace, wisdom, heart and a family that isn’t in constant chaos. These intangibles are largely ignored, alas, because the male-created workplace views them as froufrou “women’s” concerns. What’s love got to do with the bottom line? Everything, really. Research, which we prefer to common sense, supports that happy, well-adjusted, less-stressed-out people make more productive and efficient workers. Men also, by the way, because it turns out that men are human, too. Those brilliant seers “They” always said that money doesn’t buy happiness. And though being rich and unhappy beats poor and unhappy every time, “They” were right. Women, who now constitute a critical mass in the workplace, have learned through exhaustion, divorce and disappointed children that trying to fit their lives into the male mold of success is like trying to squeeze into Cinderella’s shoe. Two women who know something about power, money, success and shoes (there’s no point trying to talk about women as though shoes don’t matter) recognized this soulvoid in women’s lives and did what women do. The indefatigable Arianna Huffington and Mika Brzezinski convened a conference — “The Third Metric” — to address that missing thing in our lives. Huffington described it as that inner place of heart, soul and wisdom where few of us spend much time. We’re too busy. Creating space for qui-

etude — unplugged rather than unhinged — requires strategic planning. This isn’t space for moon-gazing, but for the fallow time that engenders calm, which often precedes the storm of innovation and creativity. Where do your best ideas come from? The chorus was instantaneous: “The shower.” Away from it all. Between panel discussions, we practiced being quiet. We breathed. (I know, you had to be there.) We closed our eyes. We really did gong the gong. We opened our arms and said “wow.” Really. We ate healthy food, drank juice served by delicious men (not kidding), got hand massages and listened to a parade of accomplished women (and a smattering of men) talk about health, wellness and “tweaking” our lives. We heard from Candice Bergen, Katie Couric, Jill Abramson, Valerie Jarrett and Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), as well as comedians, writers, filmmakers and dozens of others whose work is helping mold a future generation that will be healthier and happier, if not wealthier. There will be dissenters. Urging people to be go-givers instead of go-getters — easier to do when you are already a millionaire — may not appeal to the board of directors. And I confess, when John Mackey, cofounder of Whole Foods, spoke of promoting people who are emotionally evolved over the merely ambitious, I didn’t know whether to assume a lotus or fetal position. But all things considered, a culture in which meaning is recognized as a goal equal to profit cannot make a worse world. Besides, when Mama is happy, everybody is happy.

An outmoded concept in secrecy

ith our teeny attention spans, we’re used to what could be called “Fireworks Controversies.” They light up the political sky, and quickly disappear, then another flares into a momentary blast of commotion. Some, however, are too consequential for that, and they stick around to fill the void for more than just an instant. The ruckus over the government’s encroachment into our personal lives is one of those. President Barack Obama — who is establishing a legacy as the most zealous nationalsecurity warrior, more even than his Cheney-Bush predecessors — has been forced to shed any pretense and now defiantly says he welcomes a debate over the “choices as a society,” between “100 percent security and ... 100 percent privacy and zero inconvenience.” Never mind that as senator and president wannabe he was fond of calling that a “false choice,” but the former con-law professor also is offering a far-too-simplistic choice: The real question is not whether there must be a trade-off, but how much of one. As someone with a long track record of frivolous debating, I think this can be better likened to one of those pharmaceutical ads that saturate our TV. Imagine the various shots of patriotic Americans at parades that tug at the heart strings celebrating baseball, motherhood and apple pie; cue the soothing narration: “The secret is out. The best formula for combatting deadly terrorism is PRIVACIDE. That’s right, PRIVACIDE works in new ways to track down the cells that

COMMENTARY Bob Franken King Features Syndicate metastasize into lethal mass violence and then sends drones to wipe them out.” At this point, Mr. or Ms. Announcer jumps in to race through all the side effects: “PRIVACIDE must be used with caution. Experience has shown that it will spread to those who have no connection whatsoever to terrorism. The drones have a high probability of killing nearby innocents. It will cause leaks, which reduces its effectiveness. While PRIVACIDE may prove useful in combatting deadly terrorism, overuse can cause severe harm to our nation in many other ways.” Ignoring all that, the pitch person will end with: “PRIVACIDE, the strongest prescription for protection. A product of Orwell Labs.” See how easy that is to understand? Ultimately some may conclude this is too bitter a pill to swallow, particularly since any information about it is classified. How foolish is that? Secrecy, like privacy, is an outmoded concept. All presidents and their nationalsecurity teams accomplish with their furtiveness fetishes is to undermine their credibility. President Obama definitely doesn’t need that right now. The disclosures that investigators put journalists under surveillance was an embarrassment at the very least and a reflection

of the same kind of mindset. The Internal Revenue Service scandal that just won’t go away also raised similar fears about government intrusiveness and administration truthfulness. It’s fair to say that the Obama presidency has hit some stormy seas and might want to change course to avoid sinking. For starters, it’s probably worth noting that the Barack Obama re-election was based not only on his approval, but more the strong disapproval of the opposition and its oligarchical and intolerant policies. Republicans are still intense in their sheer contempt for him. The White House problem is that the passion on his side has been no match for the hatred of his enemies, who question his very legitimacy as chief executive. He can’t afford to allow support on his side to dwindle, but it already has. The volume of complaints is growing from those who were ready to believe in the message of change, but now are concluding that it was an empty promise. These perplexing disclosures and the skepticism they engender are cumulative. They soon pile up and weigh down a president striving to deal with the nation’s ills. If the Obama team continues to be careless, they instead will give themselves a prescription for failure.

hether a country’s capitalist or communist, a dictatorship or a democracy, it makes no difference to Mother Nature. Regardless of the dominant economic philosophy or form of government, the environment is under attack across the globe. In 2013, the Earth’s main adversaries are corporations. They run the world’s mines, plantations, slaughterhouses, chemical industry, power plants, oil companies and transportation powerhouses. Our planet’s forests are being whittled away, its fisheries depleted, its streams polluted or dried up, its water risky to drink and its soil gradually poisoned. As soon as a government tries to do something about one of these travesties, another one crops up. Greed drives humanity’s creative impulse to squeeze ever more profits from nature. Here in the United States, Mother Nature’s still reeling from the BP oil disaster that poisoned the Gulf Coast and suffering from the mining operations that slices the tops of mountains in Appalachia and dumps them into wrecked waterways. Then there’s the fracking boom, the pesticides poisoning our children and farmers, the toxic air clouding too much of Louisiana and Texas and the ocean acidification along all our coasts. Despite all this, there’s no clear sense of urgency in the United States today. Instead, many Americans seem to feel a comforting sensation that good old American inventiveness and know-how can handle whatever comes along. In fact, a recent poll showed that Americans are less worried about the environment today than they were during the Nixon administration. Back in 1971, 63 percent of respondents said they believed it was “very important” to clean up our environmental act. In a poll conducted a few months back by HuffPost/ YouGov, just 39 percent agreed with that sentiment. Gallup’s pollsters, meanwhile, have found that Americans are getting a bit more concerned about climate change today, with one in three of us worrying “a great deal.” But we remain evenly divided on whether doing anything about it would be worth the potential economic tradeoffs involved. Perhaps we simply fear the prospect of having to change our own comfy lifestyle.

Scales: Audit outlined problems in 1996; some remain unresolved Continued from Page A1

waves with his colleagues last year when he complained to Agriculture Secretary Dale Rodman and other department officials that the department was putting conscientious companies at a disadvantage by failing to adequately regulate his industry. An open records request showed state inspectors frequently found scales serviced by private companies lacking accuracy last year. When state inspectors spot-checked 72 scales serviced by private companies between July 2012 and February 2013, they approved just 19 of them, rejecting nearly half for not weighing accurately enough and the rest mainly for deficiencies in specifications. At the time of the 1996 audit, compliance rates were reportedly higher than that but still deemed unacceptable. Auditors outlined four categories of recommendations for improvement. Mary Geiger, spokeswoman for the Department of Agriculture, said via email that in the 17 years since then the department has addressed some of the recommendations: 1. Improve oversight of private company inspections by: a. Establishing a systematic process of follow-up inspections by its own field inspectors. Department’s response: Geiger said, “The program uses a system whereby Weights and Measures inspectors perform testing on new installations, spotchecks of scales and followup inspections.” b. Considering whether device owners should be allowed to inspect their own devices. Department response: Geiger said: “At the time of the legislative post audit, approximately half of device owners in the state, including scales, gas pumps and bulk fuel meters, inspected their own devices. Today, approximately one quarter of device owners maintain their own devices.”

Ramirez was one of many previously licensed technicians who struggled on the large scale portion of the state’s licensing exam in March, which had a different format this year. Ramirez has since retaken the exam and passed. c. Establish a system of accountability for the seals used by inspectors on the measuring devices’ adjustment mechanisms. Department response: Geiger said: “Every device is required to be sealed. The program has not established a system for accounting for the seals.” 2. Improve enforcement activities. Department response: Geiger said “The program utilizes more severe enforcement procedures today, which includes a systematic approach with summary orders and civil penalties. Complaints are being reviewed and investigated. If requested, a notification is sent to the complainant.” 3. Improve general management of program. Department response: Geiger said: “Software was purchased for the program in fiscal year 2006 that enables records to be more readily available to inspectors. The software allows the program to monitor devices that are not inspected within the 365-day requirement and take action to achieve compliance. It also allows the program to track scales in Kansas. The program helps

provide accurate reports for all of the devices that the department inspects.” 4. Improve overall effectiveness. Department response: Geiger said, “The program inspects those devices required by law and continually reviews its processes to continue to improve its effectiveness.” Geiger also said that within the past year, the state has introduced a formal tiered penalty system in which a third violation within 30 months draws a civil penalty and a fourth within 42 months may result in a license suspension. Hamilton said the semiprivatized scale inspection system can work, but only if the threat of state enforcement is strong. With private technicians servicing thousands of scales across Kansas, the odds of their work being spot-checked by one of the state’s three inspectors are slim. In the rare instances that work is checked and found lacking, Hamilton said, there is currently not enough consequences to dissuade some technicians from taking shortcuts. He said they’re usually just

called out to service the scale again. Jim Waggle, owner of WH Scale in Topeka, said state enforcement was more robust at one time. “If they get it back to the way it was, you never know when the state’s going to come and check,” Waggle said. “So that keeps you on your toes.” Waggle said last year that he could recall times when the state’s scale test trucks were parked due to budget cuts. Geiger acknowledged that happened for three-month periods in 2009 and 2012, when one inspector was deployed to Afghanistan. She said the Agriculture Department considered seeking a fee increase that could have raised an additional $1 million for enforcement this year, but didn’t move forward with it. “While there were discussions about fee schedules in the scanner and scale inspection program, it was determined that more research about managing and funding these programs was necessary before pursuing any action,” Geiger said. “As with all programs at the Kansas Department

A Legislative Post Audit from 1996 offered four main recommendations for improving the Agriculture Department’s regulation of measuring devices, including heavy capacity scales. The recommendations remain partially unfulfilled: 1. Improve oversight of service company inspections • The department has reorganized its inspection system but some companies still inspect their own devices and the department has not found a way to account for the seals its inspectors use to prevent tampering. 2. Improve enforcement activities • The department has instituted a tiered penalty system for scale service companies in which a third offense draws a civil penalty and a fourth may result in license suspension. It has yet to issue a suspension. 3. Improve general management of program • Software purchased in 2006 allows the department to track scales and identify which have not been inspected within 365 days. 4. Improve overall effectiveness • The department reviews its processes internally and requested an audit by a national organization, but backed off a fee increase that would have netted about $1 million for additional enforcement. of Agriculture, we are working to meet our statutory obligations and serve our customers while being financial stewards of all fiscal resources.” Waggle said the current system puts technicians in a tricky spot unless there is a high degree of trust between scale owner and scale technician. Scale owners at places like grain elevators and co-ops pay the technicians to keep scales in compliance with state regulations, but the technicians have to be willing to tell those companies when their scales need a costly repair or an even more costly replacement. If the scale owner decides they don’t want to bear that cost and the technicians file a report to the state, as required by law, and a state inspector shows up soon after, the scale owner will know who “ratted them out.” “You’re doing your job,” Waggle said. “But then you don’t have a customer.” That is why, Waggle said, he encourages scale owners to watch his technicians while they work, and encourages his technicians to explain everything they’re

doing and why. He said some scale owners don’t want to be bothered, however. Waggle also said he encourages his technicians to ask him questions and even call him when they are out in the field and they see something that confuses them. Waggle said the Agriculture Department put a more difficult licensing test format in place this year. In years past, he said, an official who is no longer with the department used to essentially go over what would be on the test with technicians beforehand. But this year, after the Agriculture Department promised a “new day” of scale regulation, that wasn’t the case. Technicians went into the test cold. Waggle said he understands the department’s policy of allowing unlimited retakes, because when you are testing to continue your livelihood and you have kids to feed at home, it’s a stressful situation. “Nobody wants to take somebody’s job,” Waggle said. “But you got to be able to do (the job). And if you go out and you can’t, you’re not doing anybody any good.”

Immigration: Contentious bill clears procedural Senate hurdle Continued from Page A1

“Of all of the issue swirling around this bill the path to citizenship for those who are here illegally is the single most divisive issue,” said Sen. Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican elected to his first term last fall. “And that is the issue on which the Obama White House and Senate Democrats insist, and by insisting on that division I believe they by design destine this bill to be voted down.” In the Capitol, Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., chose to deliver a speech on the immigration measure in Spanish. He said it was appropriate to do so since the language “has been spoken in this country since Spanish missionaries founded St. Augustine, Florida in 1565. Spanish is also spoken by almost 40 million Americans who have a lot at stake in the outcome of this debate,” he said in an English translation provided by his office. Taken together, the two procedural votes had the effect of placing the bill formally before the Senate and open for amendments. Both drew more than 80 votes, reflecting a bipartisan desire to have the debate that now is expected to consume three weeks. Substantively, an early skirmish took shape over a proposal by Cruz’ fellow Texan, Sen. John Cornyn. It would permit the legalization process to begin, but require several changes before anyone currently in the country illegally could receive a green card that confers permanent legal residence. Those changes include apprehension of at least 90 percent of those seeking to cross into the United States at every segment of the Southern border, implementation of a biometric exit system at all air and sea ports of entry and a nationwide E-Verify system to check the legal status of prospective employees.

Astrid Gonzalez, 13, participates in a game of dodgeball as part of the Garden City Recreation Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Summer Playground Program Tuesday morning. The GCRC may be considering changing its tax base from the city to USD 457.

GCRC: Tax base switch under consideration Continued from Page A1

a county-wide election and approval by voters. Washington said the issue boils down to which entity is the best fit for having a rec commission under them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city is comfortable, but is it the logical place for it to be? It differs from one town to another,â&#x20AC;? Washington said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Holcomb is under the school district, and Ulysses is under the school district. It varies, but the idea is to find the best niche for your rec commission under the right taxing base.â&#x20AC;? Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initial impression is the GCRC board thinks a switch would be a good idea because there may be some additional benefit to the public in being able to use school facilities and schedule activities. It also might benefit the city by allow-

ing it to redirect mill levies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are positives and negatives with anything you do in life, and this will have to be one of those things weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to address,â&#x20AC;? Washington said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough situation when you know money is so tight. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for the citizens? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why it goes to the voters to determine where they would like to see it.â&#x20AC;? Washington said the GCRC board has had very preliminary discussions with no real numbers put together yet on the impact of switching the tax base. Because it will require a public vote, Washington agreed that there will be much more discussion and information presented to residents in the future. It also could be one of those conversations that just gets dropped, leaving things to continue as they are, he added. No one from the school district

was available for comment about the issue on Tuesday. City Manager Matt Allen said there have been informal conversations over the years about whether the rec commission would be better served under the school districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taxing boundaries, but a formal proposal has never been considered by the city commission. The benefit of GCRC being under the school district would be a larger tax base to draw from. Allen said if the school district generates roughly $350,000 to $400,000 per mill, and the city generates around $160,000 per mill, the GCRC could levy two mills countywide and raise nearly the same amount as could be raised with 5 mills in the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you lived inside the city limits, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love that idea. If you lived outside the city limits, you might not care for it,â&#x20AC;? he said.

AJGA on pace with slow play

GCTelegram.com/Sports

SWKPrepZone.com

Bandits raided

ith the U.S. Open Golf Championship just a day away from teeing off at historic Merion Golf Club in suburban Philadelphia, it’s an opportune time to talk about slow play in the game. If you’re a PGA Tour aficionado, you know what I mean. Groups of three playing on Thursday and Friday and taking upwards of 4 hours, 30 minutes, occasionally 5 hours, to play an 18-hole round of golf. Then, it gets worse on the weekend. On what is considered to be ‘made for TV,’ the observer at home will witness professional golfers going through various and assorted pre-shot routines all in the name of focus and concentration. Yawn! What results is nothing short of watching tortoises run a long distance road race — one wonders when they’ll arrive at the finish line — if ever. While the PGA Tour and the USGA (which is the sponsoring organization for the Open this week), rarely find their way to penalize players for slow play, they’ve always talked a better game than they implement during the tournament. I bring this topic to the surface in part because of last week’s American Junior Golf Association Kansas Junior at Buffalo Dunes Golf Course. For three days, the AJGA emphasized ‘ready golf’ to the 96 players who competed in the 54hole event. The AJGA is perhaps the largest junior golf organization in the U.S. They’ve been around since 1978, but it has only been in the past five years that they finally tweaked a pace of play policy that, when implemented and enforced properly, actually works. In this case, the proof is in the pudding. Or, around here in western Kansas, ‘Where’s the beef ?’ The beef in the AJGA policy is that they actually set a time par for the golf course, based upon the difficulty of the golf course, weather conditions, etc. For three days, the players in the Kansas Junior completed play mostly in under four hours. The lead groups in two of the days played in 3 hours, 23 minutes and 3 hours, 30 minutes. The AJGA then designates six holes on the course as timing station checkpoints, typically holes 2, 5, 8, 11, 14 and 17. Volunteers are stationed at the greens of these checkpoints, and using color-coded cards (green, single red or double red) to indicate a group’s time relative to the group in front of them and in relation to the overall time par for the course. To do this, the AJGA somewhat compromises courtesy golf of helping your fellow competitors hunt for potential lost golf balls. They encourage the player who finishes play of a hole first to move immediately to the next tee and be ready to play. They specify that players should walk to their own golf ball ahead rather than assisting in the search of a competitor’s ‘lost’ ball. There are two types of penalties — group or individual — and the AJGA is unafraid of assesing them. In 2012, there were 29 penalties imposed in 96 events. Having worked as a rules official at several USGA Championships in the 1980s and 1990s, it seems laudable that the AJGA system actually works. Do they compromise some basic principles of the game? Perhaps. Let’s hope that all golfers — pros or the weekend duffer — can take a cue from the AJGA and play the game more like a slow rabbit rather than a fast tortoise. This week, though, tortoises will likely be more visible.

Finney County Bandits pitcher Nick Laureles hurls the ball towards a batter during the early innings of Tuesday’s game against Lamar, Colo.

Finney Co. team manages one run in home twinbill. By GRANT MELIN

sports@gctelegram.com

After beginning their season last weekend at the Ulysses tournament, the Finney County Bandits opened their 2013 home opener against the Lamar, Colo., Merchants looking to see where their game plan was going. The Bandits found plenty of room for improvement as Lamar swept the Bandits 17-1 and 8-0, respectively, on Tuesday at Clint Lightner Stadium. In Game 1, after holding Lamar in the first two innings of play, the third inning began to take a toll on the Bandits, giving up nine runs in the inning as the Merchants took advantage of the Bandits two errors while getting six hits. Jordan Jara, Kodiak Ratzlaff, and Brynden Burns loaded the bases for Lamar before Charlie Ferris tripled to right field to clear the bases and set the tone for the evening. Tylon Jara, Bryan Gonzalas, Tanner Barth, Hayden Crum, and again Jordan Jara all followed next by taking advantage of several wild

pitches and two errors to score in the inning. The Merchants followed with more in the fourth and fifth innings as Ferris, Isaih Martinez, and Gonzalas each scored a run in each inning with Tylon Jara also scoring a run in the fourth. The sole bright spot on the night for the Bandits was a lone run by Isaac Garcia in the third inning as he walked to first then advanced to second on a wild pitch. He moved to third on a fielder’s choice groundout by Zack Hopkins. Garcia raced home on a wild pitch for the Bandits’ only run of the night. Game 2 for the Bandits was not as messy but still left a lot to be desired as Lamar’s Ratzlaff scored in the first inning on a wild pitch with Burns and Tylon Hara also coming home in the inning to go up early on the Bandits. The Bandits managed to get hits from Derek Cook in the first inning and from Edam Arreola in the third inning but were not able to score despite Syras Swartz, Arreola, and Jack Spellman all advancing to third in the game. Lamar scored two more runs in the third inning from Martinez and Tanner Barth. Ferris and Tylon Jara were next to score, this time in the fourth

inning with Ratzlaff being the last to score on the night as the Bandits allowed 25 hits and committed 11 errors in the two games. For head coach Joe Kraft, the ball handling was the number one issue for the Bandits. “When you have that many errors to try to come back it kind of makes it hard for pitchers to perform as well as climb out of a deficit,” said Kraft. “Letting them score was how well we took care of the baseball, and it wasn’t the best.” With the Finney County Bandits playing in Great Bend next on Saturday and Sunday, coach Kraft knows he has some team building to accomplish in order to improve. “We need to take care of the baseball and putting the ball into the play ... once everything goes together, were going to have a great squad, we just have to stay with it,” said Kraft. ——— Game 1 Lamar, Colo. 17, Finney Co.

Spurs hot, Heat cold in 113-77 rout SAN ANTONIO (AP) — From big 3s to Big Three, the Spurs had it all in the NBA Finals’ raucous return to San Antonio. Danny Green made seven of the Spurs’ finals-record 16 3pointers, Tim Duncan has 12 points and 14 rebounds, and the Spurs clobbered the Miami Heat 113-77 on Tuesday night to take 2-1 lead in the series. Green scored 27 points and Gary Neal made six 3-pointers while scoring 24 as San Antonio went 16 of 32 from behind the arc. Duncan bounced back from his worst game ever in the finals, and the Spurs’ combination of fresh faces and old reliables in a raucous return to a city that hadn’t hosted a finals game since 2007. The Spurs were as good as fans remembered in the old days, shutting down LeBron James until they had built a huge lead late in the third quarter. James finished with 15 points and 11 rebounds, but missed 11 of his first 13 shots against the excellent defense of Kawhi Leonard, who had 14 points and 12 rebounds. Game 4 is Thursday here, where the Heat are 3-22 in the regular season and so far zero wins and one really bad beating in the postseason. Duncan shot 3 of 13 for nine points, his worst performance ever in his 25 NBA Finals games, in the Heat’s 103-84 victory Sunday. Tony Parker wasn’t much better, shooting 5 of 14 and committing five turnovers, and Manu Ginobili admitted afterward the veteran trio had to play well for the Spurs to win. They were fine, but the lesser-knowns were better. Parker and Ginobili combined for 14 assists, but the bigger story was the guys who had never played on this stage before. — Neal, who went undrafted after playing for LaSalle and Towson, then playing overseas for three seasons in Italy, Spain and Turkey. — Green, who had been cut multiple times — including by James’ Cavaliers — and now has the shot to stick. — Leonard, the draft-night trade acquisition from San Diego State who played the NBA’s four-time MVP to a stalemate. Mike Miller made all five 3-pointers and scored 15 points for the Heat, who broke open Sunday’s game and seized momentum in the series with a 33-5 run in the second half. The Spurs seized it right back, improving to 18-7 in the finals, the best winning percentage of any team with 20 or more games. A brief flurry by James had Miami within 15 after three quarters, but Neal, Green and Leonard combined on a 13-0 run to open the fourth, Green’s 3-pointer making it 91-63. By the time the midpoint of the final quarter had arrived, Parker, Duncan and Ginobili were all enjoying a rest on the Spurs’ bench. Soon after, the Heat’s big three of James, Wade and Bosh joined the bench viewing, but it was far from a party.

Big event for the Micro Mayhem at Airport Raceway By BRETT MARSHALL

bmarshall@gctelegram.com

They may very well be small race cars, but when the first Micro Mayhem Race is conducted Thursday through Saturday at the Garden City Airport Raceway, there will be a big purse of $55,000 available for the more than 300 drivers who have pre-registered. The first of its kind event anywhere in the United States will start at 7 p.m. Thursday with Heat Races. Friday’s qualifying will also begin at 7 o’clock as well as Saturday’s finale in which five divisions of races will be contested. “We’re really excited about it

and can’t wait for this type of event to be run and see how the people of Garden City and the surrounding area like it,” said Ben Barbo, the event’s main organizer. “It’s the first time this has been done, so we really think it will be a special event.” Barbo, whose family races at Garden City Raceway on a regular basis, said the event began to formulate in August of 2012 and has been well received by race drivers from Kansas, the surrounding states and from other geographic regions of the country. “We’ve got about 300 pre-registered and we hoping for about another 200,” Barbo said. “There will be plenty of races of all types of cars for people to enjoy.”

Classes include A Class Winged, Outlaw Non Wing, Restrictor, A Class Non Wing and Outlaw Winged. “We hope what we’ve done will be appealing to people,” Barbo said. The Outlaw Non Wing division is for cars that have heavily modified motors and the wings are removed. The Restrictor Class is for youth ages 10 to 16 years and the cars have restrictions on air and fueld and have about half the horsepower in the engine as the other divisions. “There will be many drivers who compete in more than one division,” Barbo said. Barbo said that Thursday’s heat races would be free to the

public. It is his way of helping educate the community about the midget car races. “Hopefully, they’ll come out Thursday and if they enjoy what they see, we’ll have them back for Friday and Saturday,” Barbo said. Admission for Friday and Saturday is $10 for adults and $8 for children under the age of 13. In conjunction with the event, there will be a “Kickin It At Mayhem” kickball tournament starting at 9 a.m. One of the major underwriters of the event is the Finney County Convention and Tourism Bureau. The bureau contributed $25,000 to help bring the event to fruition.

Stay out of friend’s business when it comes to child support Dear Annie: I have a friend who has a divorced daughter with two children. The ex-husband has a good job with the government. My friend is very strapped for money and sends as much as she can to the daughter. The daughter claims the ex-husband does not pay child support regularly. I feel the daughter should go to his employer about the child support. There are laws about this. But my friend and her daughter both believe this might cause him to lose his job. Then there would be no money coming at all. I disagree. I don’t believe you can be fired for garnishment of wages. But talking to my friend is like talking to a wall. The new wrinkle is,

ANNIE’S MAILBOX KATHY MITCHELL MARCY SUGAR

the ex-husband is about to remarry. I have known this guy since he was a teenager, and he is a fine man. I don’t, however, have the same warm feelings toward my friend’s daughter. Is there some way I can look into her claim about the child support without causing trouble? My friend is about to lose her house, and I don’t think she should be giving away her money to her daughter. I realize this is none of my business, but watching the effect this has on my friend breaks my heart.

— Just Concerned Dear Concerned: We cannot caution you enough to stay out of this. The mother may suspect her daughter is not telling her the truth and wants to give her the money anyway. The daughter may be perfectly honest about the child support, rendering your high opinion of the ex-husband unwarranted. And there could be other things going on of which you are unaware. If the daughter is not receiving child support, she can take the matter to the courts. We understand your concern, but no good can come from your snooping around. Dear Annie: My boyfriend and I have been dating for three years. This summer, we are planning

to go camping with his family. They are religious and have strict morals, so my boyfriend says he will not sleep in the same tent with me. He argues that since they invited us on their camping trip, we should abide by their rules and expectations. However, I believe that since we’re both adults and have been together for so long, it’s our right to sleep together. Who’s wrong? — Sleeping Alone Dear Sleeping: You are. These are his parents, and this is their camping trip. You not only should abide by their rules, but you should show them the kind of respect your boyfriend is showing by giving their sensitivities a priority when in their presence as their guests.

Are there any side effects from taking this on a regular basis? — B.D.F. Any vitamin, supplement, homeopathic medicine or prescription medicine has the potential to cause side effects. Medications for sleeping are at high risk for two specific kinds of side effects: excess sedation and dependence. Excess sedation is a real problem with most sleeping medications: People who take them, especially every day, have a higher risk of falls and a higher risk of motor vehicle accidents. Melatonin has less excess sedation than most other medications for sleep. Dependence on sleeping medications is a common problem as well. One can get accustomed to the effect and begin to require it

every night for sleep. Take the medication as infrequently as possible — preferably no more than every other night and for no more than two weeks. When compared with other sleep remedies, melatonin seems to have fewer problems with dependence. Melatonin has one additional potential problem occasionally seen, and that is hypothermia (abnormally low body temperature). However, it is far more commonly seen at doses higher than the one you are taking. That being said, a 0.3-mg dose was the most effective in one study, even more so than 1 mg or 3 mg. The booklet on restless leg syndrome and nighttime cramps offers more tips. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Roach — No. 306, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 328536475.

Dear Annie: I’d like to agree with “Encino, Calif.,” who needs a handicapped parking spot even though her disability is not visible. I am an amputee. In the winter, no one can see my prosthesis under my pants. I can walk faster than a lot of people with two good legs, but I periodically get a sore “leg” and have fallen several times. So I legally park in the handicapped spot. I have never had anyone openly direct a nasty comment toward me, but I sure have had my share of dirty looks. Someone once “reminded” me that I was in a handicapped spot, so I lifted up my pants leg. That shut him up. I would like to tell people that just because we

don’t look disabled doesn’t mean we are not. Things beyond our control have happened to us. Also, to those of you who park in the handicapped spaces “just for a minute” to drop something off: I once had to cross a snow-covered parking lot in a wheelchair when the handicapped spaces were full of people without proper stickers or license plates.

You pay for them to cut it? Dear Readers: If you are a busy, working mom or dad, it’s quick and easy to buy fruits and vegetables that are already washed, cut up and ready to use. It does save time in the kitchen, but it costs more to buy produce, vegetables or shredded cheeses in these prepackaged servings. If you are on a budget and are watching your money, these items can put a big dent in how much you spend on food. Pre-cut costs a lot more than produce you buy whole! You are paying for the labor, packaging required and transportation to stores while keeping it fresh. Is the cost worth the time you are saving by staying out of the kitchen? It may or may not be. There are some exam-

ples where buying readyto-use may be cheaper. For example: pomegranate juice. The juice is more costly to make yourself because of the number of pomegranates needed to get the same amount that you buy readyto-drink. I’ve tried this, and it’s a process! With fresh pomegranates available only a few months of the year, the only way to buy the seeds or juice the rest of the year is prepackaged. During your next shopping trip, comparison-shop, and check the price difference. — Heloise Send a great hint to: Heloise, P.O.

Wednesday June 12, 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) HHHH Let your wilder ideas float up into your consciousness. You might choose to jot them down, but share only one or two. Use your high energy and business acumen to push a project forward. A new friend or potential suitor could enter your life. Tonight: Pretend that it’s Friday! TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You might want to revise your plans. A domestic matter takes priority, which could result in additional spending. Listen to different takes on the issue before making a decision. Costs could play a large role in your choice, but just go with your sixth sense. Tonight: Your treat. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Recognize your goals, and make a plan for how to achieve them. Remain sensitive to an unpredictable friend, as he or she could give you some powerful feedback. Listen, even if you would prefer not to. Both of you have the same interests in mind. Tonight: Hang out. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Listen to forthcoming news that has the potential to change a financial issue. Your intuition will tell you what you need to do in order to maximize the situation. Honor what is going on between you and a boss or an older relative. Tonight: It just gets better and better. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might not realize how much you can accomplish when you hit your power days. A friend could push you to act on something that is very important to you. Recognize your limits. You’ll want to approach a personal matter differently. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Try not to push yourself too hard. If you suddenly find that your feelings are hurt, stop and detach. You could be emotionally vulnerable. Postpone thinking about this matter. Perhaps at a different time, the same actions will get a different reaction.

DAY IN THE STARS

BIZARRO

Jacquelline Bigar King Features

Tonight: Get some R and R. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Be spontaneous, especially when dealing with matters involving friends. You might get a new perspective because of what an associate says. Once you identify or understand someone’s viewpoint, you can go along with his or her ideas more easily. Tonight: Zero in on a goal. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might want to lighten up about a situation involving a boss or someone else you must answer to. An associate or close friend might be able to tap into this person’s mindset far better than you can. Adjust your plans when a responsibility appears. Tonight: In the limelight. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Your perspective is constantly evolving, which allows for more neutrality; however, it does not deter your impulsiveness. A partner or loved one keeps pushing you very hard. Be smart, and let this person’s attempts wash right over you. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Deal directly with matters involving business, money or feelings. You cannot imagine how much your complete attention means to others, but know that your energy might be a little overwhelming. An unexpected development could shake you up. Tonight: Call a friend.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

HHHH Others seek you out, and you

might have some difficulty juggling all the different demands that land on your shoulders. A child or new love interest could be on the verge of throwing a tantrum if he or she doesn’t get what he or she wants. Tonight: Among the crowds. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You could be easily irritated, and that frustration might come out in your interactions with those who are close to you. Take a deep breath. Indulge yourself, and buy a new item or two for your wardrobe. Consider taking a walk if that’s what it takes. Tonight: Run an errand or two.
