County, EMS develop checklist after controversy By ANGIE HAFLICH

ahaflich@gctelegram.com

After hearing from a concerned Garden City woman who transported her husband to Wichita for urgent medical care in March, Finney County Emergency Services and Finney County commissioners have developed a checklist for thoroughly checking weather conditions and detailing reasons for acceptance or denial of emergency transfer requests.

In light of concerns expressed by Nancy Wilken at the May 6 county commission meeting about Finney County EMS’ denial of an out-of-county transport request for her husband, Harold Wilken, the FCEMS, county commission and St. Catherine Hospital personnel have developed a transfer checklist to ensure that road and weather conditions are being checked thoroughly and that acceptance or denial of transfers are being more thoroughly documented.

“We’ve had a meeting with the commissioners and the hospital, and we’ve put in place a transfer checklist so that if there is a denial, we have documentation of exactly why it got denied. We’re also going to have quarterly meetings,” said County Administrator Randy Partington. “There’s a committee that will probably consist of the EMS director, the three field training officers and the medical director for EMS to make sure we haven’t missed something.”

Joe Hopkins is the FCEMS director, Dr. Harold Perkins is the FCEMS medical director and emergency room physician at St. Catherine, and the three FTOs are the supervising paramedics for FCEMS during their respective shifts. Wilken took her husband to Wichita on March 23, after being advised by the hospital physician that he had a brain bleed and needed to be seen by a neurologist or See EMS, Page A5

Two of four individuals identified as part of the Garden City Police Department’s investigation into local gang activity, called Operation Frontline, were arrested Wednesday. According to police, Joey Terrazas 17, 1301 N. Main St., was arrested by police Wednesday on a county warrant for allegations of burglary and theft, after officers received a tip about his whereabouts. According to Finney County Sheriff Kevin Bascue, Bernabed Gramajo, 5735 Old Post Road, was arrested by deputies Wednesday on allegations of battery, aggravated battery, aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, criminal damage and incitement to riot. Bascue said deputies accompanied Kansas Department for Children and Families on a welfare check at 5780 Weldon Road Wednesday morning, where Gramajo was known to frequent. While SRS and deputies were at the residence, Gramajo turned himself in to deputies, who arrested him and transported him to the Finney County Jail. The two men were identified during Operation Frontline,

Holcomb to delay new state concealed-carry law By SCOTT AUST

saust@gctelegram.com

The Holcomb City Council decided Wednesday to delay implementation of a new state law that allows people with concealed-carry permits to carry concealed handguns into public buildings. The law goes into effect July

1. But cities, counties, and other public entities can seek an extension until Jan. 1, 2014, to determine a security plan for public buildings if the entities wanted to continue prohibiting guns in public buildings. According to information the council received from the Kansas League of Municipalities, the law provides three options: take

down signs and allow concealed weapons to be carried by the public and public employees; install metal detectors and personnel at every public entrance and continue prohibiting firearms; or do a security assessment and create a plan to address building security which would allow for a four-year exemption from the law.

Challenges to phone records face legal obstacles WASHINGTON (AP) — The government’s massive collection of Americans’ phone records is drawing protests and lawsuits from civil liberties groups, but major legal obstacles stand in the way. Among them are government claims that national security secrets will be revealed if the cases are allowed to proceed, and Supreme Court rulings that telephone records, as opposed to conversations, are not private to begin with. Justices have written recently about the complex issues of privacy in the digital age, and the high court could have the last word on challenges filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and others. The Obama administration has said the collection of phone records — telephone numbers and the time and length of calls — is necessary to protect Americans from terrorism and that it does not trample on their privacy. The National Security Agency collects millions of phone records from the United States each day, but says it only accesses them if there is a known connection to

terrorism. The ACLU this week filed the most significant lawsuit against the phone record collection program so far. The suit demands that the courts put an end to the program and order the administration to purge the records it has collected. Conservative lawyer Larry Klayman also has filed suit over the program. Before either suit gets a fullblown court hearing, the administration could try to employ two powerful legal tools it has used in the past to block challenges to closely held surveillance programs. In February, the Supreme Court shot down an effort by U.S. citizens to challenge the expansion of a surveillance law used to monitor conversations of foreign spies and terrorist suspects by finding that the Americans could not show that the government would eavesdrop on their conversations. In legal terms, they did not have standing to sue, the justices said in a 5-4 decision. The ACLU and Klayman both say they are or were customers of Verizon, which was identified last

week as a phone company the government had ordered to turn over daily records of calls made by all its customers. In so doing, they said it is a simple matter of fact that records of their calls have been seized by the government. “We meet even the standard the government has been foisting upon the courts for the past decade,” said the ACLU’s Jameel Jaffer. But American University law professor Steven Vladeck said the challengers might face a different problem. “They’re not suing Verizon. They’re suing the government for something a third party did. And so the issue is not their ability to prove that their communications were involved. It’s how they can object to a third party’s cooperation with the government in a suit against the government, rather than the third party,” Vladeck said. Another issue the administration could try to use to derail the suits is the jeopardy to national security that would result from allowing them to proceed, the so-called state secrets doctrine.

State Theatre reception scheduled The State Theatre and Garden City Arts are organizing a wine and cheese reception from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. June 20 at Garden City ARTS Gallery, 318 N. Main St. Mark Pamplin, leader of the State Theatre project, said the reception will be a jumping off point for fundraising efforts to restore the theater. Pamplin said there is no timeline for the fundraising effort as $3 million is needed for the “revisioning,” which will include a 400-seat theater in the round. The theater, built in 1929, will run continuously and feature family-friendly shows. At the reception, Pamplin said those involved with the project explain the venture to people interested in hearing more about the theater and telling attendees about some of the events they would like to have over the next few months that will be aimed at showcasing “the talent we have in Garden City,” he said. He added organizers are also seeking sponsors. One of the fundraisers will be to have a walk of fame outside the theater where people will be able to buy stars with their name on it for $1,500.

Blood donations tend to decline during the summer, when many regular donors are on vacation and schools are out of session. However, the need for blood is constant. All blood types are currently needed, especially O negative — the universal blood type and can potentially be transfused to any patient. Blood donors are encouraged to share their donation story with the Red Cross by visiting redcrossblood.org/summer. The Summer of Stories campaign is helping to raise awareness about the constant need for blood and encourage regular donations. Upcoming blood donation opportunities include: Finney County June 24: From 2 to 7 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church, 1010 Fleming, Garden City June 25: From 2 to 7 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church, 1010 Fleming, Garden City Lane County June 17 from 2 to 6 p.m. at American Legion, 100 E.

Agency says KCC violated open meetings law TOPEKA (AP) — A state consumer protection agency has submitted a complaint to the state attorney general’s office and Shawnee County prosecutors asking for an investigation into a Kansas Corporation Commission emergency decision-making practice that the agency alleges violates the state’s open meetings laws. The complaint sent by the Citizens’ Utility Ratepayer Board to Attorney General Derek Schmidt and Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor discusses a specific case out of Salina but also asks for an investigation into what is called “pink sheeting.” The process involves the commission’s attorney circulating a proposed order to each of the commissioners, who sign their approval and issue the order without meeting, The Wichita Eagle reported Tuesday.

The practice is named after the color of the paper used to gather the signatures. KCC lawyers said in emails that approving orders in private is a valid “emergency” process used when it’s inconvenient for the three commissioners to come to a meeting in time to meet a deadline. The commission regulates most utility rates and practices in Kansas, while CURB represents residential and small-business utility customers. The specific case in CURB’s complaint involves a rate increase request filed by Howison Heights Rural Water District Inc., a privately-owned water provider for 62 customers in a Salina development. The water utility was behind on its taxes and facing foreclosure on its equipment, and it had poor record keeping, according

to commission records. A third of its customers have filed complaints about rates and water quality issues. On June 6, the commission issued an interim order granting the water company a rate increase of $47,231 — a 127 percent increase for customers. The order said the rate increase would be permanent after a 90day comment period unless there’s “substantial comment” from ratepayers. KCC attorney Jay Van Blaricum said the rate request order was due June 10, a day when all three commissioners were to be gone, and the order had to be issued by the end of the week, so it qualified for the emergency approval procedure. CURB Chief Consumer Counsel David Springe said the organization will appeal the Salina order in court, but first

needs to determine whether it is even valid. When CURB attorney Niki Christopher asked Van Blaricum in an email to cite a law or regulation authorizing pink-sheeting, Van Blaricum replied that the commission has used pink sheeting for years, but that he wasn’t aware of a regulation or statute that authorizes it. KCC General Counsel Dana Bradbury told Christopher in an email that, “Orders have historically and routinely been pink sheeted by the commission for years. ... If you believe there has been a violation of statute, commission rules or due process, please feel free to file a petition for reconsideration of the issue.” CURB is asking the prosecutors to first address the Howison case and then investigate the commission’s previous decisions.

Open house, movies, concert on tap this weekend By ANGIE HAFLICH ahaflich@gctelegram.com

This weekend’s events in Garden City include an open house, movies and music. The Garden City Junior Girl Scout troop 60040 recently completed some renovations on the Little House at 108 W. Hackberry St., and is hosting Operation Little House, an open house set for 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday. Troop Leader Jamie Dinkel said the 13 fourth-grade girls in the troop sewed curtains, decorated with items donated by local merchants and painted a mural. “There were a couple of girls who got on the sewing machine who seemed like they had done it before,” Dinkel said. “And a lot of artistic skills showed through with the painting of the mural.” Located on all four walls of the basement at the Little House, the mural is based on the Girl Scouts’ Daisy Flower Garden. “The only thing down here before was the blue walls, the cloud, the tree and these little tiny bugs,” Dinkel said. Ten-year-old Akasha Schnaithman added a couple of more clouds.

“I did the bumble bee, the two clouds and the pink flower,” Akasha said. Ally McQuitty, 10, painted a daisy, the caterpillar, the bumble bee and a white picket fence. Katie Hill, 10, painted a flower and a butterfly, among other things. Dinkel said they plan to start phase two of improvements to the Little House this summer. “The Finnup Foundation gave us a grant and we’re putting up a fence for the backyard. We’re going to do a program where people can buy a brick, like down at the zoo, and get it engraved for our path, and then upstairs, the girls are going to do a penny drive to bring in pennies and then we’re going to take all the old pennies in and get brand new 2013 pennies to lay down on our counters in the kitchen, shellac it and then have a penny counter,” she said. Dinkel said the girls decided to host Operation Little House to show off phase one of their work and provide some fun-filled activities for people. “The girls thought this up all on their own. I had to detour some of their ideas,” Dinkel said. One idea was doing a cake-

Kansas board questions innovative district law TOPEKA (AP) — Kansas education officials are turning to the state’s attorney general for legal guidance about what rules and regulations are keeping school districts from being innovative. Brad Neuenswander, deputy education commissioner, told the State Board of Education on Wednesday the agency is trying to figure out how to implement a new law signed by Gov. Sam Brownback that creates a coalition of innovative districts. The law is supposed to give up to 29 districts flexibility in following education rules and regulations, but they must follow certain laws regarding such things as accreditation, school finance and open meetings. Districts also would have to conduct student assessments, but they could seek

a waiver to develop their own methods for measuring student progress. Neuenswander says Attorney General Derek Schmidt’s office has been asked to provide a legal opinion on the law to clarify which rules and regulations can be waived. “There’s a lot of interpretation that we need to find out,” Neuenswander said. Applications will be posted and available to districts by July 1, but Neuenswander said it was unlikely that the education staff would receive the attorney general’s opinion before that date. Districts have until Dec. 1 to submit applications, which will be approved first by Brownback and the chairs of the House and Senate Education committees.

walk, but she told the girls that the frosting would melt, so another girl came up with a better activity. “She said, ‘I’m sure we all have toys we don’t play with, so why not do a toy walk,’” Dinkel said. The event is free and open to the public and other activities will include carnival games, cotton candy and a bounce house. “We’ll be doing popcorn, different games, a water balloon toss, the toy walks and the girls want to give tours of the house,” Dinkel said. Also going on this weekend: • The Garden City Recreation Commission continues its Silver Screen Saturday Nights, with this week’s screening of “Kangaroo Jack” beginning at dusk Saturday at Stevens Park. The movie is about two childhood friends, a New York hairstylist and a would-be musician, who get caught up with the mob and are forced to deliver $50,000 to Australia. Things go haywire when the money is lost to a wild kangaroo. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets and lawn chairs, as well as their favorite movie snacks, to the free screening. Popcorn and drinks will be avail-

able for $1 each. In the event of high winds or severe weather, movies will be rescheduled. Call the Hotline at 276-1202 for cancellation details. For movie titles and future showings, visit www.gcrec.com. • “The Blue Notes Variety Band” will be performing at two upcoming public dances. The group will play at the Senior Center in Scott City at 7:30 p.m. Friday and the Eagles Lodge, U.S. Highway 83 and Mary Street, at 7 p.m. Sunday. • Melissa Dawn is the featured performer for this weekend’s Stevens Park Concert Series. Dawn has been singing publicly for 16 years, performing contemporary Christian, Christian country, southern gospel and some secular country. She has traveled to Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, California and Branson, Mo., and has been a part of the Stevens Park Concert Series for 15 years. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Stevens Park in downtown Garden City. All concerts in the series are free to the public.

Ex-NASA official named as governor’s chief spokeswoman TOPEKA (AP) — A former NASA communications official who also is an astronaut’s wife will be Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback’s new chief spokeswoman, the governor’s office announced Wednesday. Brownback’s office said Eileen Hawley will join his staff June 24 as communications director and press secretary. Hawley will replace Sherriene Jones-Sontag, who will become deputy director of the Kansas Lottery next month. Hawley is vice president of operations for the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. But before moving to Kansas in 2008, she directed communications for the Johnson Space Center in Houston. She also served as an adviser to senior NASA officials and was the center’s voice

for dozens of space shuttle missions. Brownback noted in a statement that Hawley has worked in corporate and government communications for more than 25 years and called her “a great fit” for his administration. She is married to Steve Hawley, a Kansas native who flew five space shuttle missions and logged more than 32 days in space after joining the shuttle program in 1978. He’s now a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Kansas and has been director of its engineering physics program since 2010. Jones-Sontag has been the most visible member of Brownback’s staff and his chief spokeswoman since he took office in January 2011.

Harmful cuts Time for public to weigh in on higher education funding.

he Kansas Board of Regents has plenty of reason to be disappointed and even angry at Kansas lawmakers who approved budget cuts exceeding 5 percent for the universities under the Regents’ purview. The cuts will, as memShould Gov. Sam bers assert, Brownback reject funding hurt the cuts for higher education in the state? Add your education of comments at the end of thousands the online version of this of present editorial at GCTelegram. and future com/opinion. students, contribute to the exodus of some of the system’s most qualified faculty and undermine the long-term prosperity that legislators say is crucial for Kansas. We share board members’ view that the cuts are “irresponsible” and “mindboggling.” Unfortunately, the situation will probably get worse before it gets better. To offset millions of dollars of funding cuts, most of the universities have recommended tuition increases. Kansas State University, for instance, has recommended a 7-percent increase, a figure that will add more than $200 a semester to the average instate student’s expenses. One immediate, albeit remote, hope for advocates of higher education is that Gov. Sam Brownback could undo with a veto at least some of the damage the Legislature has done ... Conservative legislative leaders, at their shortsighted worst, turned a deaf ear to pleas for even maintaining the status quo to enable universities, community colleges and technical colleges to cope with the growing demands of students and the marketplace. ... The only other place for higher education to turn is to the public — Kansans in all walks of life and in all corners of the state. Do they realize, or care, that the long lines, the closed classes and program cuts at universities are the direct result of legislative funding cuts? Everyday Kansans can be powerful allies. Legislators who simply don’t understand higher education issues, who are biased against universities or who tune out educators would think twice before tuning out their own constituents. Do Kansans understand that when legislators cut higher ed funding, it isn’t the universities that suffer? ... When vital funding is cut, it’s the students who suffer by missing out on opportunities. It’s Kansas communities that suffer when they struggle to create jobs. ... That’s a good, honest message, and it’s time universities shared it. — The Manhattan Mercury

Hot days, music and some travel W

ith 107 degrees today (June 10), it seems the “Dog Days of Summer” have arrived early. At any rate, it is what it is until we finally get our big, long overdue soaking rain that will show up eventually. Meanwhile, a variety of things cross my mind as I consider all the buzz that’s happening in our fair city. First of all, the Southwest Kansas Live On Stage organization will soon be selecting the concerts and shows for our 2014-15 season. Our annual meeting was held Sunday evening, and the board of directors, including several new members, will get together Aug. 16 to make the choices. The first concert of the 2013-14 season will be Sept. 11, with six others to follow, all for the low price of $55 per member or $135 per family. Unfortunately, some folks here in “the Garden Spot” and southwest Kansas, don’t even know or have forgotten about Live On Stage and all the wonderful, incredible entertainment it has brought us since its formation in 1946 (formerly the Community Concert Association). Originally, the programs were mostly classical music, but now we have a wider array of presentations in hopes of reaching those who appreciate more variety. In short, Live On Stage adds to the quality of life of our community and the area. It’s a super entertainment opportunity and a big, big bargain for your pocketbook. Kudos to our friend, Carlene Schweer/ Lightcap, as president these past five years, and to her board and worker members, for a great job well done! Send your checks to LOS, Box 1827, Garden City! Beef Empire Days activi-

A VIEW FROM THE HIGH PLAINS Duane West ties these past 10 days have made the city seem more like a beehive, rather than the “Buckle of the Beef Belt,” its previous advertising slogan. The Commerce Bank pancake feed, the parade and other events reportedly went well, so we appreciate all the work and efforts of the BED board and other groups that create such a successful event each year. With all the new commercial construction, road and sidewalk work being done, one would swear our city is much larger, especially when being involved in any noon-day traffic at almost any spot. Last month we took a jaunt to East Village Hot Springs, Ark., to visit an artist friend, Terry Odell, and his wife. Then a shorter, extended trip to Starkville, Miss., to touch base with my high school ‘49er classmate, Bill Parrish, and spouse, Helen Sue. He’s now a retired MSU history professor. We enjoyed seeing a new collection of President Ulysses S. Grant artifacts, now at the MSU library, as well as an incredible collection of original music record players by Edison and the Victrola Co., some of which we got to hear. In Arkansas, a round of golf, some exceptionally delicious catfish, a trip to Hot Springs proper, including the 200-foot-plus observation tower, added to our delightful visit. Odell is a talented classical guitarist, water colorist and potter. Luckily, he plans to be here for Art In The Park

on Sept. 21, so folks will have a chance to see and buy his beautiful art. The countryside was incredibly green and lush most of the way down and back, with cattle often belly deep in the grass, their calves almost invisible. All the ponds, creeks and rivers, including the Arkansas and Mississippi rivers, were near full to running over! We, of course, were truly jealous about all this excessive moisture and requested that our friends put out a bucket to catch rainwater and ship it to us for use as a primer the minute it gets full! News of increasing theft of cell phones by muggers reminds me of the experience related by our son-inlaw recently: While he and Sabrina were walking a friend’s dog, they followed the owner’s instructions to carry a “poop scooper” and plastic bag to clean up after the pooch along the way. A strange-looking fellow accosted them, demanding to use their cell phone. Being suspicious of his attitude and erratic demeanor, they advised, actually truthfully in Tom’s case, that they didn’t have a phone with them. The fellow disputed that answer, insisting that they hand over their phone! Concerned they were about to be assaulted, Tom proffered up the only item he had available to give: the bag of dog poop, definitely not a “concealed carry” item! Dumb, but not stupid, the would-be thief ran off leaving our dear son-in-law “holding the bag!” Duane West, a longtime resident and former mayor of Garden City, is a member of The Telegram board of contributing writers.

A backlash of too much secrecy K

eep your distance: The director of national intelligence is having intestinal distress. “For me, it is literally — not figuratively, literally — gutwrenching to see this happen,” James Clapper told Andrea Mitchell over the weekend, referring to leaks about the government’s secret program to collect vast troves of phone and Internet data. There might be a bit more sympathy for Clapper’s digestive difficulty if he hadn’t delivered a kick in the gut to the American public just three months ago. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) asked Clapper at a Senate hearing in March, “Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?” “No, sir,” Clapper testified. “It does not?” Wyden pressed. “Not wittingly. There are cases where they could inadvertently, perhaps, collect, but not wittingly.” We now know that Clapper was not telling the truth. The National Security Agency is quite wittingly collecting phone records of millions of Americans, and much more. As the administration and some in Congress vent their anger about leaks to The Post and to Britain’s Guardian newspaper, officials have only themselves to blame. It is precisely their effort to hide such a vast and consequential program from the American public that caused this pressure valve to burst. Instead of allowing a democratic debate about the programs in broad terms that would not have compromised national security, their attempts to keep the public in the dark have created a backlash in which the risks to national security can’t be controlled. Edward Snowden, the leaker, did the honorable thing in revealing his identity; it would be more honorable if he would turn himself in and face the consequences for his law-breaking. But there is little honor in the

way administration officials and lawmakers have avoided responsibility. Obama administration officials are blaming Snowden, while some lawmakers complain disingenuously that the administration kept them out of the loop. “All of us are sort of asking what in the world has gone on,” a seemingly bewildered Eric Cantor (R-Va.), the House majority leader, alleged Monday on CBS’s “This Morning.” Host Norah O’Donnell asked whether he had known about the program before the leaks. “Well,” Cantor replied, “there are a variety of — of classified programs that exist for us to, again, guard against a terrorist threat. And . . . ” Asked whether the Obama administration’s surveillance went further than the George W. Bush administration’s, Cantor said that “these are questions we don’t know the answers to.” “How do you not know the answer?” O’Donnell asked. Good question. All 535 members of Congress had authorization to learn all about the programs. Senators even received a written invitation in 2011 to view a classified report. Likewise, Rep. Peter King (RN.Y.), a former chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, said Monday that members “could have gotten a briefing whenever they wanted to.” But apparently few bothered. Worse, lawmakers quashed efforts to allow even modest public disclosure of the broad contours of the program. Steven Aftergood, who runs the Federation of American Scientists’ Project on Government Secrecy, lists the various ways in which the administration, Congress and

the courts denied the public any right to know: The Justice Department and the DNI promised a new effort to declassify opinions issued by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court; Justice official Lisa Monaco, now Obama’s counterterrorism director, said all significant FISA rulings would be reviewed for declassification. But no new opinions were declassified under the initiative. The House last year turned back attempts to require public reports on the general outlines of the government’s surveillance programs. The various disclosure proposals, offered by Democratic Reps. Bobby Scott (Va.), Jerrold Nadler (N.Y.) and Sheila Jackson Lee (Tex.), were defeated by the Judiciary Committee. In the Senate, amendments to provide modest disclosures and declassifications, offered by Wyden and fellow Democratic Sens. Jeff Merkley (Ore.) and Mark Udall (Colo.) during the FISA renewal in December, were all defeated. The FISA court itself colluded in the secrecy. After senators asked the court to provide declassified summaries of its decisions, the chief FISA judge, Reggie B. Walton, responded with a letter on March 27 citing “serious obstacles” to the request. “It was a shoddy performance all around,” Aftergood said Monday. “The pervasive secrecy on this topic created an information vacuum. If congressional oversight was not going to fill it in, it turned out leaks would. That’s not the optimal solution.” Not optimal, but probably inevitable. Officials who denied the public a responsible debate on surveillance will now have a debate on Snowden’s terms — and there’s no use in bellyaching about it.

ay Leno told his studio audience the other night that President Obama should forget his plans to close the detention camp at Guantanamo Bay and instead close the IRS. The applause was instantaneous and the laughs were loud and genuine. Most ordinary Americans would have whooped and hollered in favor of Leno’s idea long before they learned the IRS has been caught targeting conservative political groups and wasting millions on moronic employee-training conferences. But the IRS is no joking matter. The average working American — poor or rich or inbetween — hates and fears the IRS for good reason. Able to seize your bank account or house without a court order, able to shut down your business overnight, the IRS is the closest thing to the Gestapo America has ever had. But it’s not the current IRS scandals that are the real problem. It’s not the hated tax-collecting bureaucracy itself. It’s not even whether the Obama regime used the dangerous powers of the IRS as a political weapon. The real problem — the long-term problem and the one Republicans have to find the courage to fix — is the horrible income tax system the IRS is hired to enforce. The federal income tax code deserves the death penalty for a lot good reasons. It’s unfair, overly complex, horribly politicized, harmful to individuals and the economy, helpful to the forces of Big Government and impossible to understand without a CPA. It’s also a costly waste of money and time. Just complying with our unnecessarily (but deliberately) complicated federal tax system costs Americans about $430 billion a year, according to economist Arthur Laffer. The IRS scandals are a golden opportunity for conservatives and Republicans to direct the country’s attention toward the ultimate and long-overdue goal — abolishing the IRS as we know it and drastically reforming our tax code. We need a strong leader — now — who will stand up and lead the country down the road to radical tax reform. Maybe it’s going to be Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. Earlier this week he called for abolishing the IRS after instituting a simple flat tax that could be filled out on a postcard. Maybe it’ll be another rookie in Washington, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky. The biggest problem we have is that our side — the tax-reform side — has no leader and no clear, unified message. Should we conservatives go for a Flat Tax or a Fair Tax? A low, simple, flat-tax percentage for all income earners, minus deductions for home mortgages and charitable deductions? Or a national sales tax of about 23 percent that would replace both the federal income tax and the payroll tax? If my father Ronald Reagan were around today, I know what he’d do. He’d do exactly what I’d do — get the flat-taxers and the fairtaxers together in a room and have them hash out a single tax reform program to sell to the American people. So, sure, let’s bring the Obama Gang and its IRS lackeys to justice for their abuses. But what we need most right now is for someone — Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Donald Trump, even Jay Leno — to convene a national tax convention that would unite our side and lead the fight for a better tax code. Republicans can’t afford to be split on the important issue of income tax reform or miss this chance to focus on the crimes of the IRS. The Flat Tax and the Fair Tax each have pluses and minuses that need to be debated. But in the end it really doesn’t matter which idea triumphs. America and all Americans would be better off with either one. Either would eliminate the progressive tax system and make federal taxes simpler, fairer, smarter and apolitical. And, best of all, either one would kill the IRS as we know it — forever. Michael Reagan is the president of The Reagan Legacy Foundation. Email him at Reagan@caglecartoons.com.

EMS: County, agency develop checklist after concerns over policy Continued from Page A1

neurosurgeon as soon as possible. As is standard practice, the hospital physician contacted EMS to see if it could provide transport to Wichita for Wilken, but because of forecasts for icy roads, the FTO on duty at the time declined to do so. Wilken questioned this decision after driving her husband to Wichita herself, noting that road conditions were clear. She told commissioners she was concerned and wanted to prevent something similar from happening to another Finney County resident. At the commission meeting, County Commissioner Dave Jones told Wilken he understood her concerns, but that transfers from St. Catherine were not an absolute guarantee and that the first obligation of EMS is to get the injured or ill to St. Catherine or another local facility. In a separate interview, Jones said that as the means and opportunity are available, EMS also will provide transports to

Wichita or other cities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always have the means, and certainly not always the opportunity, so that causes a bit of concern. I understand, having some experience of my own with having to transfer somebody to Wichita, I know the high anxiety that one feels, but on the other hand, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to lose an EMS crew and a patient out in the middle of a storm somewhere if we can keep from it,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. In a separate interview, Hopkins said that at the time of the request, an FTO made the decision to decline transfer based on forecasts for possible freezing rain, ice and blowing snow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it was two hours later that it was taken from a warning to an advisory, and an hour after that, it was cleared,â&#x20AC;? he said. In a separate interview, Wilken said she and family members began checking with 511 and other weather outlets while still at St. Catherine Hospital, and the information they received indicated that there was no threat of

inclement weather, prompting her to transport her husband herself. The new transfer checklist will be filled out by FTOs or the FCEMS director when determining whether to accept or deny transfers to other facilities based on staffing or weather conditions. For the latter, it requires the FTO or EMS director to check with the Kansas Department of Transportation, the Kansas Highway Patrol, the National Weather Service and 511 before making a decision to accept or decline a transfer due to weather. Denial of transfers may be made in the event of wind advisories, winter weather advisory/warnings, weather not clear at destination of transfer, or severe weather warnings at or en route to and from destinations. Wilken said while she is happy to see progress is being made in addressing transfers, more needs to be done to ensure that Finney County residents receive the care they need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the transfer checklist is a huge improvement, and

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very pleased that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing something about it. But it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to me to be written from a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;how can we get this doneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; aspect, but from a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;how can we avoid itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; aspect,â&#x20AC;? Wilken said. Hopkins said that as part of their quarterly quality assurance meetings, the new transfer checklists will be reviewed to ensure that refusals to transport are uniformly done and to see if any adjustments need to be made to the checklists. The Finney County EMS transfer policy reads as follows: The weather, road conditions, and if needed, the availability of a third crew member, will be considered in the decision of accepting or refusing a transfer. This policy, previously written by Hopkins, also states: â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the addition of another crew on each shift and the change in schedule, we are revising our transfer policy. Effective Jan. 3, 2011, we will switch to a 48/96 schedule, which will put each team on for 48 hours and then off for 96. This, along with the new crew,

will make us more available for transfers out of, or to, your facility. Our new policy will follow the guidelines listed below: â&#x20AC;˘ Transfers leaving before 12 a.m. will be taken as long as all three teams are in town. This means that if the transfer team is out, we will not be able to take another transfer until they return. â&#x20AC;˘ Transfers after midnight will be taken at 7:30 a.m., unless absolutely medically necessary. â&#x20AC;˘ The medical necessity of the transfer shall be properly documented and explained to the patient, along with the risks and benefits of the transfer by the transferring department.â&#x20AC;? Additionally, the policy states that its aim is to improve patient care, while providing a safe working environment for the technicians and patients. Hopkins said the possibility of inclement weather and poor road conditions is important in considering transfers for both the safety of EMS personnel and the patient.

create a plan of action for how it intends to keep everyone safe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be too hard for Holcomb because our police department is right here, and our court is right here,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My understanding is (the plan) just has to be on file here. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t review it or anything.â&#x20AC;? Council members indicated the extension would also allow time

to see what other cities or public entities do to address security, or if there will be changes in the law to make requirements clearer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You would think the state law would have addressed some of these things,â&#x20AC;? council member Greg Cox said. In other business, the council decided to take no action on a request from a citizen for a waiver from the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s antipit bull ordinance so she can foster that breed of

dog up to 8 months of age and find them new homes. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pit bull ordinance, implemented in 1988, prohibits keeping pit bulls in Holcomb. Several weeks ago, the city asked its attorney to review the issue and make a recommendation about a possible waiver. Mayor Gary Newman said attor ney Bill Heydman indicated in a memo the city would be better off revising the entire ordinance rather

than trying to create a waiver because several ordinances could come into play, which would open up many questions and â&#x20AC;&#x153;what-ifâ&#x20AC;? scenarios. Allowing the citizen a waiver could also create issues with future requests and claims of the city not being fair to others who wanted to have a pit bull, the memo said. On another issue, the council voted to waive its ordinance banning fireworks within the city to

allow shooting fireworks purchased or approved for sale within Finney County from 10 a.m.. to 11:59 p.m. on July 4. However, people would still be prohibited from shooting fireworks on city streets, alleyways or in public parks. Additionally, if Finney County decides to ban fireworks within the county, Holcomb would also ban fireworks on July 4. Holcomb Fire Chief Bill Knight said the

thought process of allowing fireworks on July 4 is it prevents some potential fire issues by keeping people near their homes instead of spreading out into the county to shoot fireworks where conditions are very dry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At their homes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supervised. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s green grass. We have the ability for the fire department to respond quickly if there is an issue,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really worked to our advantage over the years weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done it.â&#x20AC;?

Ex-jailer files whistleblower suit Police: Two caught, two still sought WICHITA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A former jailer sued the Ellis County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department Wednesday claiming he was fired in retaliation for reporting a co-worker who allegedly threatened to repeatedly use a stun gun on a handcuffed inmate. Attorneys for David Vaughan of Hays filed a federal lawsuit in Kansas alleging violations under the Kansas Whistleblower Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Sheriff Ed Harbin did

not immediately return phone and email messages sent by The Associated Press, but he told radio station KAYS-AM in Hays that â&#x20AC;&#x153;there is some history there,â&#x20AC;? and said Vaughan was not fired but had resigned. Vaughan, who had worked for the Ellis County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department for seven years, declined comment and referred questions to his attorneys. One of them, Kelly Trussell, said Vaughan was â&#x20AC;&#x153;subjected to a hostile work

environment from his superiors and co-workers. There is a basis to show that hostile work environment was caused by his whistleblowing.â&#x20AC;? The lawsuit contends Vaughan, who witnessed the altercation, filed an Ellis County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department â&#x20AC;&#x153;voluntary statement formâ&#x20AC;? in March 2011, reporting the alleged abuse incident. The suit claims the other jailer used physical force and a stun gun on the handcuffed inmWate.

DAY IN THE STARS

BIZARRO

Jacquelline Bigar King Features

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 You will sense some volatility in the air; however, you should note that this energy most likely is coming from you. Though this might surprise you, do your best to keep communication moving. You’ll enjoy the series of calls that come in. Make plans. Tonight: Think “weekend.” TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You might be taken aback by people’s behavior and, consequently, what you learn about them. Stay even and direct in how you deal with this volatility. Note your reaction, but choose not to visibly react. Think positively instead. Tonight: Make a family-favorite meal. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Do not stand on ceremony with someone. Simply call that person and make plans. If it is concerning a professional matter, you might want to schedule a meeting. If the other party is not enthusiastic, simply drop his or her participation in a project. Tonight: You’ll find the right words. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your instincts are working overtime. Why not test them out, and then keep track of how often you are right? No one needs to know if you are uncomfortable sharing. Use care with your spending -- you could be misreading someone. Tonight: Treat a friend to drinks and munchies. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Be more in touch with someone’s feelings. You would prefer to know up front if there is something on this person’s mind. A call from a distance could result in a change of plans, and it also might cause you to rethink a personal matter. Tonight: Find your friends and join them. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HH You might enjoy some downtime, in which you feel less pressured by others. The real issue has to do with how much you are willing to give. Stay in touch with a key friend or an associate. This person often play devil’s advocate for you in situations like this. Tonight: Get plenty of rest!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Close friends make all the difference. They give you feedback, and they encourage you. You don’t have to incorporate their ideas, but it’s nice to have them behind you. News comes in that could cause you to reconsider an important decision. Tonight: Music, fun and friends. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might want to rethink a personal matter that could be driving your professional or outside life. A friend, family member or loved one might be trying to run interference. Listen to this person’s insight and feedback, if you trust him or her. Tonight: In the limelight. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Reach out to an expert or someone at a distance. The more you know, the better your decisions will be. A loved one could be provocative, yet he or she has ingenious ideas. Your creativity will surge as a result of dealing with him or her directly. Tonight: Mix relaxing with fun. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH A partner holds the key to a change in your life. The issue lies in how well you relate to this person and whether you can see eye to eye. Only time will tell. If you can be reflective, you will respond in a very different way. Tonight: Join a friend or loved one for dinner. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Move forward in a positive manner. You might need to dodge an emotional wall that someone has constructed in order to achieve the results you desire. Stay calm when dealing with the unexpected. Others will seek you out, so make time for them. Tonight: Fun with a loved one. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Pace yourself, as you have a lot of ground to cover. If you feel lucky, take a bit of a risk. Buy a lottery ticket, or express feelings to a loved one that you have held back. Consider making exercise a part of your daily life. Know that it will happen naturally. Tonight: Run errands.

Food allergy update — what you can do F

ood allergies are skyrocketing in North America and around the world. Rates in children and teens have gone up 50 percent in the past 15 years, to 1 in 20, one new report says. And today’s numbers could be even higher: A recent survey of 38,000 parents found that 1 in 13 kids have had mild to lifethreatening reactions to everyday foods like milk, eggs, nuts, wheat and shellfish. And 30 percent of food-allergic kids have reactions to more than one food. Scientists are racing to pin down the causes of this puzzling outbreak. Leading the list are the usual suspects: emulsifiers and additives used in processed foods, such as peanut butters that are made with more than just peanuts, lunch meats, margarine, mayonnaise, sauces, candy and bakery products. Interesting fact: Emulsifiers seem to make a protein (like peanuts) appear foreign, so the immune system attacks it. In China, where peanuts are boiled and peanut butter is made only with peanuts, the allergy is rare; when the nuts are fried or cooked in non-peanut oils and emulsifiers are added for quick spreading, the allergy pops up. But another possible trigger is our too-clean environment; it makes

our immune system overeager for work, so it turns on us and creates autoimmune diseases and allergies. Here are five smart ways to prevent and deal with food allergies. No. 1. Keep up with the latest info about allergy-causing foods. You can ban eggs, nuts, shellfish, wheat and soy from your home, but these foods are lurking in restaurant foods. Watch out for emulsifiers in mass-produced salad dressings and sauces, and for sulfites in seemingly safe packaged foods like trail mix or dried fruit. Get the inside info by connecting with groups like Food Allergy Research & Education at www.foodallergy.org. You can sign up for email alerts. No. 2: Turn off “allergy genes.” Cutting-edge thinking says something in the environment is switching genes on and off in ways that set the stage for allergies. Early evidence points to tobacco smoke, polluted air and fast food. The gene changes may even be passed down through several generations. Meanwhile, pregnant moms can help fortify their newborns against allergies by eating a healthy diet, and after birth, by breastfeeding their baby as long as possible. No. 3: Take kids with food reactions to an allergist. Fewer than

Q: I know three people in their mid-50s with brain problems — one with Parkinson’s, one with early onset Alzheimer’s and one with some other kind of brain disease. It’s unsettling. What do you think’s going on? — Devon B., Covington, Ky. A: Since 1997 there’s been a 66 percent increase in the number of men and a 92 percent increase in the number of women dying from neurological diseases and conditions such as ALS, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia at younger and younger ages! But listen up: You can dramatically improve your long-term brain health by doing what we recommend below. What accounts for the increase? All indications are that epigenetic changes — that is, changes in gene expression triggered by environmental influences — are making people more susceptible to brain diseases. Just as there’s been an increase in autoimmune diseases, a fall in sperm counts and a rise in cancer incidence (even as cancer deaths fall), the increase in younger people developing neurological diseases may come from the explosion in electronic devices; a rise in background, non-ionising radiation from PC’s, microwaves, TV’s and mobile phones; increased petrochemical pollution; chemical additives and pesticides in

food; and more. Fortunately, the body is surprisingly resilient and responds well to good self-care. You can fight back against lifestyletriggered health hazards. What we need is a war against brain diseases. Our battle cry: • Achieve and maintain a healthy weight by eliminating the Five Food Felons (saturated and trans fats, added sugars and sugar syrups, and any grain that isn’t 100 percent whole). • Get regular physical activity: Walk 10,000 steps a day, do 15 minutes of strength training two to three days a week, plus 20 minutes of cardio three times a week (cardio exercise is six times more effective than “brain games” in growing your memory center!). • Meditate daily for at least 10 minutes. Managing stress may be the No. 1 brain helper! • Enjoy as much black coffee as you like. It cuts memory dysfunction and Parkinson’s risk. • Take anti-inflammatory DHA omega-3 from algal oil (900 IU a day) or eat three servings of salmon a week. Other daily supplements: for eyes — 10 mg lutein; for brain — 6 mg B-6, 400 mcg folic acid, 25 mcg B12 (after age 50, 400 to 800 mcg). Q: My relative has battled drugs for years. Now I hear scientists can engineer vaccines against heroin addiction. Is that true?

25 percent of kids who end up in hospital emergency rooms are told to see an allergist, but that should be your next move. This specialist can determine which foods likely caused the allergic response and make sure you’re equipped with emergency medication that stops life-threatening reactions. No. 4: Outfit kids (and yourself) with TWO EpiPens. Experts suggest that kids with food allergies carry two EpiPens, self-injectable epinephrine that stops severe reactions. One in eight kids who go to the ER with a bad reaction need a second shot, yet many leave the ER without a prescription. Talk with your doctor about getting the doses you need, and about when to replace EpiPens. Not all states allow or require schools to stock these

life-saving devices — though more are considering this smart move. So make sure your kid’s classroom and school nurse have a supply of several pens (check their expiration dates). No. 5: Talk with your pediatrician about introducing allergenic foods. Until recently, conventional wisdom said delaying “trouble foods,” such as peanuts, protected babies from developing allergies. But in 2013, an American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology committee suggested that early exposure actually might train a young immune system to react properly. Some experts even suspect that lowered exposure to common food allergens like peanuts and wheat could help explain the rise in food allergies. WARNING: This advice is not for babies and young children who have already reacted negatively to a food, have a related allergic condition like eczema or atopic dermatitis or a sibling with a food allergy. Remember to talk this over with your doc before trying.

— Maury P., New York A: Yes, they are working on vaccines for heroin addiction as well as ones for cocaine, methamphetamines and nicotine dependence. And the results from preclinical trials are promising. There have been experimental heroin vaccines in the works since the 1990s, but they generally haven’t been effective. These newer versions are a bit different. In a nutshell, what these vaccines do is make an introduction between immune system cells and the drugs’ toxic elements in the bloodstream. They do this by attaching small pieces of the drugs’ previously elusive molecules to a protein. This is kind of like sticking a red flag on them that says: “Hey! We’re over here!” Then the immune system can work against them. Interestingly, these vaccines don’t block opioid

receptors, like traditional treatments. That means a person can: 1. continue with a traditional treatment; and 2. take a painkiller (and get pain relief) if they need an emergency-room procedure. But the biggest news may be that in early trials the compulsive behavior that goes along with addictions gets the heave-ho as well. The reason that’s such big news is because many times, after a person is treated for an addiction, their habit-forming, compulsive-behavior patterns remain and are a major cause of relapse. These new vaccines seem to address that problem, too. Today, researchers are trying to make sure the vaccines are safe and effective, and it looks like there could be relief in sight for millions of people who suffer from substance addiction. That’s incredibly good news. Mehmet Oz, M.D. is host of “The Dr. Oz Show,” and Mike Roizen, M.D. is Chief Wellness Officer and Chair of Wellness Institute at Cleveland Clinic.

McCluster: Chiefs’ speedster sees exciting change for team By BRETT MARSHALL

bmarshall@gctelegram.com

There’s nothing like change to know when it can be good, or bad. The Kansas City Chiefs’ Dexter McCluster is one who should know. Selected in the second round of the 2010 NFL draft, McCluster, a speedy combination running back/wide receiver/return specialist, is now on his third head coach in four seasons. This time, his boss is former Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid, and McCluster, who was one of the top performers at Ole Miss in the Southeastern Conference, couldn’t be happier. “It’s been very exciting,” said McCluster, who was in Garden City on Wednesday to sign autographs as part of the week long grand opening celebration at Menards. “We started offseason training about two months ago. I’ve met all the coaches and they’re extraordinary.” It would be safe to say that McCluster is looking for bigger, and better, things from the 2013 edition of the Chiefs, who have been mired in mediocrity for the past two seasons.

Newest Buster coach GCCC hires assistant Trenkle to lead men’s basketball program. By BRETT MARSHALL

bmarshall@gctelegram.com

It was less than a month ago that Garden City Community College went no further than its bench to hire Nick Salazar as its new women’s basketball coach to replace Alaura Sharp. On Wednesday, the GCCC athletic department kept to its party line when Brady Trenkle, an assistant to Rand Chappell for the last year, was announced to head up the Broncbusters’ men’s program. The announcement came at an afternoon press conference at the Hall of Fame Room at the Dennis Perryman Athletic Complex. Chappell, who coached the Busters for just one season, posted an 11-20 overall record and 3-13 in the Jayhawk Conference West Division before leaving in May after accepting a position as an assistant coach at Division I Eastern Illinois University. “I’m excited for the opportunity and looking forward to the challenge,” Trenkle said in an interview with The Telegram following the press conference. “I’ve learned a lot about coaching from many different people, and I think I’ve incorporated the strengths of those people into what I try to do as a head coach.” During the brief introduction by GCCC President Herbert Swender and Athletic Director Ryan Ruda, Trenkle was praised for his past performance, both as an assistant but primarily for the four years he served as head coach at rival Dodge City Community College (2008-12). “When looking at personnel hires, the future success is always connected to past performance, and with Brady, you’ve got experience talking,” Swender said in

his comments. “That success just dovetails into what we’re looking for here from all of our coaches. We’re fortunate to have a coach who comes from a family that has the genetics of basketball. He has the breadth and depth of the Jayhawk Conference and has had success.” After serving as an assistant at Dodge City from 2004-08, Trenkle was promoted to head coach, and it was during that stretch that Trenkle, 37, guided the Conquistadors to a 72-52 record (.581 percentage) and had two appearances in the quarterfinals of the Region VI basketball tournament. Three times his teams won 20-plus games. “I think what you’ll see is a team that plays defense like crazy,” Trenkle said when explaining some of his coaching philosophy. “I like to play aggressive, up-tempo, and want my teams to be athletic. Nobody will outwork us, I can assure you of that.” Trenkle comes from a basketball family, having played for his father, Fred, for four years while at San Diego State University. It was there where he earned his bachelor’s degree in public administration, graduating in 1999. He attended and graduated from high school in 1994 at Twin Falls, Idaho. Trenkle has been on the road recruiting after he was retained as an assistant following Chappell’s departure. In essence, he was serving as an interim coach, primarily focusing on retaining players and recruiting new ones to the program. “We had a chance to see Brady for the last month, and he certainly proved himself more than capable to be our head coach,” Ruda said in a separate interview. “It was a little like onthe-job evaluation. If you had seen how hard he worked, how committed he is to Garden City Community College, you would understand why he’s the best one for the job.” See GCCC, Page B3

then it was defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel’s turn to try and improve the Chiefs. That didn’t work either. McCluster, whose blazing speed and lightning-quick moves earned him the Prep Player of the Year in the state of Florida, has yet to find his niche, but he sees that about to change. “This offense is great and it seems endless with all the plays that are in,” McCluster said. “One thing about me, I’m a different type of player. I’m not just a set player at one position and I think he’s (Reid) going to exploit defenses that way.” In his first three seasons, McCluster had rushed 144 times for 657 yards, his best season coming in 2011 when he had 516 yards, averaging 4.5 yards per carry. Utilized more as a receiver, McCluster has caught 21, 46 and 52 yards in each of his three seasons, totaling 989 yards. But the 5-8, 170-pounder is looking at more ways to help the Chiefs in 2013. “As of now, I’ve been getting a lot of reps as a punt returner,” McCluster said. “I’m very comfortable with that. It’s something See Chiefs, Page B3

Brady Trenkle answers questions Wednesday after being named Garden City Community College’s men’s basketball coach during a press conference in the Hall of Fame room at Perryman Athletic Complex.

The mystery of Merion starts to unfold as US Open gets under way ARDMORE, Pa. (AP) — The affection was genuine. Even better was beating Jack Nicklaus in a playoff. So when Lee Trevino got his hands on that U.S. Open trophy in 1971, the guy who never lacked for one-liners gushed, “I love Merion, and I don’t even know her last name.” For this generation of stars, Merion is more like a blind date. No other course with four U.S. Opens had to wait such a long time — 32 years — for another chance to test the world’s best players. Even with Tiger Woods back to No. 1 and winning at a ridiculous rate, so much of the talk at this major championship has been about Merion. For years, it was considered too small to handle such a big tournament and the big hitters with their modern equipment.

And with soft greens from more than 6 inches of rain in the last week, the question is whether the course will yield the kind of scores rarely seen at the toughest test in golf. On Thursday, the mystery of Merion will start to unfold. “It’s been how long, 32 years? And with all the technology since then?” Steve Stricker said as he headed to the first tee Wednesday for one last practice round. “Someone asked me the other day about someone shooting a 62. And what I wanted to say was, ‘You’re crazy.’ But you just don’t know. We don’t know what’s going to happen. And in a way, that’s kind of cool.” Not so cool was the weather expected

for the opening round. Merion already took a beating last Friday when more than 3 inches of rain sent water over the edges of some bunkers and left small streams on fairways and greens. More rain on Monday caused the course to be closed three times. The forecast called for increasing clouds, gusts and showers Thursday morning, with stronger storms likely to arrive around noon. “Sure, we want it firm and fast,” USGA vice president Thomas O’Toole said Wednesday. “We happen to play a sport that’s played outdoors. We received significant rain over the last week, and some tell us that we’ll have even more

significant rain tomorrow. So it’s not a perfect world. It’s not a perfect game. But we take what we’re dealt with.” Whether a golf course is big or small, soft greens typically are a recipe for low scores. Then again, Merion is not a typical golf course. It measures 6,996 yards on the scorecard — the shortest of any major championship in nine years — and has a stretch of seven holes in the middle that are short even by yesterday’s standards. Compare those holes with the scorecard from when Ben Hogan won the 1950 U.S. Open at Merion, and four of those holes were actually longer by a few yards in Hogan’s day. Players typically reach for the wedge to See Open, Page B2

chip out of the rough around the greens at the U.S. Open. At Merion, they could be hitting wedge into the green for their second shot on at least six holes. That’s what has caused all the clamor about low scores. And with the rain, it’s reminiscent of how Congressional was vulnerable two years ago, when Rory McIlroy shattered U.S. Open scoring records at 16under 268. “I’ve been reading about how many scoring records are going to be broken,” Nick Watney said. “I’ve been around here once. And I think that’s insane. It’s funny to me. People look at the yardage and think it’s going to be easy. Even if it’s soft, the greens are sloped. The rough is thick. OK, we’ll have wedges into some of the greens, but that doesn’t mean you make birdie on all those holes. There’s enough tough holes to counteract that.” Even so, the winning score has gone down in each of the four previous U.S. Opens at Merion, from Olin Dutra at 13-over par in

1934 to David Graham winning at 7-under in 1981, the last time this major championship was here. “Where did David Graham shoot 7-under? From there?” Nick Watney asked as he pointed the end of his driver to a spot some 30 yards from where he was standing. “Because he didn’t do it from here.” Watney was standing in the middle of the putting green. He took three steps to his right and was standing on the 14th tee. As an example of longer holes being made more difficult, a new tee on the 464-yard hole is where members practice putting. The biggest fear with rain on the horizon is what will happen the rest of the week. The forecast is reasonable after Thursday, but in soft conditions, balls start to pick up clumps of mud as the sun starts to dry the course. And while players often are allowed to lift, clean and place their golf balls in the fairway in muddy conditions on the PGA Tour, they don’t do that at the U.S. Open. Remember, the USGA famously referred to the local rule as “lift, clean and cheat.”

starts today: Site: Merion Golf Club The course: Merion was designed by Hugh Wilson and opened in May 1914. Its Scottish-styled bunkers are known as the “white faces of Merion.” Unique to Merion are the wicker baskets painted orange and red attached to the pins, instead of the traditional flag. Merion has hosted 18 USGA championships, the most of any golf course. This is its first U.S. Open since 1981. Length: 6,996 yards/Par: 36-34—70 Field: 156 players (10 amateurs) Defending champion: Webb Simpson. U.S. Open champions at Merion: Olin Dutra (1934), Ben Hogan (1950), Lee Trevino (1971), David Graham (1981). Noteworthy: Merion is the shortest course for a major championship since the 2004 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills. Key statistic: The winning score has been lower each of the previous four times the U.S. Open was at Merion. Tiger tales: This is the first time since 2000 that Tiger Woods has won four times on the PGA Tour before the U.S. Open. He won the U.S. Open that year by 15 shots.

Parker hopeful for Game 4 LeBron not backing down SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Tony Parker, along with all of San Antonio, really, spent a restless night worrying about a gimpy right hamstring that hampered him in Game 3 of the NBA Finals and threatened the momentum the Spurs seized with a drubbing of the Miami Heat. A day later, Parker said he got some good news. Just how good the news is likely won’t be known until Game 4 begins on Thursday night. Parker had an MRI on Wednesday that revealed a Grade 1 strain of his hamstring, the mildest level of strain. He’s listed as day to day. “I was just hoping it was not a tear,” Parker said. “The good news is it’s not a tear or a defect. So that’s the good news. Now I just have to see how I feel tomorrow.” Parker was injured early in the second half of Game 3, which the Spurs won 113-77 to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. He was limited to six points and eight assists in 27 minutes and left the game early in the fourth quarter with the outcome already decided. Parker did not participate in the portion of practice on Wednesday that was open to the media, instead watching his teammates go through a light workout while spending much of the time in conversation with Spurs coach Gregg Popovich. “We’ll see how it goes tomorrow. We’ll talk with Pop,” Parker said. “I know Pop is always going to prefer to take low risk.” When asked about Parker’s outlook, Popovich said, “a lot of it will be what he feels, I think.” Parker’s injury somewhat muted the celebration in San Antonio following the Spurs’ decisive bounce-back victory that put them two wins shy of the franchise’s fifth championship. While the Spurs’ role players have been playing incredibly well in these finals, they know they will need Parker’s leadership, guts and unparalleled mastery of the pick-and-roll to bury LeBron James and the Heat. Danny Green, Gary Neal and Kawhi Leonard have been revelations so far in this series, scoring the same number of points (130) through the first three games that the Heat’s vaunted trio of James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh have managed. Neal filled in brilliantly for a slowed-down Parker on Tuesday night, scoring 24 points and hitting six 3-pointers to pick up the slack.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A day later, LeBron James didn’t back down. When the Miami Heat were embarrassed by 36 points in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, James took all the blame and even lauded his teammates for playing great. Shortly after that 113-77 debacle of a Spurs’ victory ended Tuesday night, James insisted that he would do enough to change the way the Heat compete in Game 4. And Wednesday, James’ tune was the same. “I’m putting all the pressure on my chest, on my shoulders to come through for our team,” James said, virtually echoing what he had vowed the previous night. “That’s the way it is.” That’s not necessarily the same game plan that Heat coach Erik Spoelstra would prefer, but by now, it’s just become assumed that when the stakes are highest, it’s all going to be on James anyway, whether that’s the actual reality or not. If the Heat win Game 4, odds are James will be credited as the reason why. If they lose Game 4 and go one loss away from elimination, then it’ll be widely considered as James’ failure. “Look, we have great

confidence from our guys and their ability to bounce back and respond in a big way,” Spoelstra said. “And that’s all our focus is the next 24 hours — how do we prepare ourselves to play our best game of the series tomorrow night. That’s the only thing that matters. LJ has proven himself enough in this league and on the biggest stage. He is going to ... he’ll be better.” When the Heat arrived Wednesday for practice in San Antonio, after a particularly difficult-tostomach film session to recap Game 3, James had his practice jersey slung over his head, letting the piece of mesh fabric sway down his back much in the way that a cape would. Fitting. In Game 4, he might need a hero’s effort to save the Heat. “We’re not worried about LeBron,” Heat guard Dwyane Wade said. “He’s going to find his way. He’s going to get in a groove. As teammates you try to figure out a way to get him an easy basket in a breakout, try to get it back to him, get a lay-up, so he can see the ball go in. As a scorer you need to see it go in. Besides that, we’re not concerned about him at all.”

Feisty Royals rally past Tigers, 3-2 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — After striking out his first three times, Lorenzo Cain came through in the ninth inning for the Kansas City Royals. Cain hit a tying, two-run homer off Jose Valverde with two outs in the ninth and Eric Hosmer had a winning RBI single in the 10th, helping the Royals rally for a 3-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday. Cain struck out three times against Detroit ace Justin Verlander, who pitched seven scoreless innings. “It was a crazy game from having the hat trick to being able to get a ball out of here was huge,” Cain said. “I was glad I was able to get a good pitch and get it over the fence for us to tie the game up.” Drew Smyly pitched a one-hit eighth, then allowed a leadoff single in the ninth to Hosmer and was replaced by Valverde. He retired Santiago Perez on a flyout and struck out Billy Butler as Hosmer stole second — becoming the first Kansas City runner in scoring position. Cain fouled off three pitches, then sent an 85 mph offering over the wall in left-center. Valverde blew a save for the third time in 12 chances. Cain was not sure it was going to

clear the fence. “I put it on the barrel, but after that it was either wind or carry,” Cain said. “I thought it was in the gap. I was just blowing for it to go out for me and it did.” Verlander did not allow a batter past first base, giving up three singles, striking out eight and walking two in a 117-pitch outing, his secondhighest total this season. “It was a tough outing, Verlander being Verlander as usual, dominating,” Cain said. “I say continue to battle, got a pitch up, put a nice easy swing on it and it got over the fence.” Verlander has a 15-2 record with a 2.56 ERA in 25 starts against the Royals. “It hurts,” Verlander said. “You’ve got two outs and two strikes, and when the ball leaves the yard, it’s not a good feeling. It only tied the game, so we immediately need to change our mindset to OK, let’s win it. To lose it that way, it’s a tough pill to swallow. “Losing period stinks. When you lose one that’s so close to a win makes it that much more difficult.” Greg Holland (2-1) pitched a perfect 10th, striking out Torii Hunter and Miguel Cabrera and retiring

Becker’s Bridge

Prince Fielder on a lineout, and Miguel Tejada singled off Phil Coke (0-4) leading off the bottom half. Tejada advanced to third on Alcides Escobar’s sacrifice and Alex Gordon’s groundout to first, and Hosmer singled to center. “That was a great win,” Hosmer said. “We’re down to our last strike with the closer on the mound. That’s just the character of this team. We’re not going to give up until the last out is made. “Cain had a day like he did, the first couple of at-bats, strikes out. The way he comes up in the last inning with two strikes, it’s battling right there.” Tigers manager Jim Leyland’s post-game press conference was brief, lasting 97 seconds. “Verlander showed why he’s the horse today,” Leyland said. “He was terrific, absolutely terrific. He stepped up today. That’s the way he’s been the seven years I’ve been here.” But the Tigers’ bullpen remains an Achilles’ heel with a 4-12 record and eight blown saves. “He (Valverde) got two quick outs and then he hung a splitter,” Leyland said. “He left it out over the plate. It didn’t split and the kid hit it out.”

GCCC: Trenkle new Busters’ men’s coach Ruda said Trenkle and one other outside coach were brought in for interviews on Tuesday, and that process came after the school had received more than 50 applications for the position. “I think it just goes to show that Garden City Community College has a strong reputation and is well-known for its athletic programs,” Ruda said. “We had some very highly qualified people, but in the end we felt like Brady was the best person for the job.” The search committee was comprised of Ruda, assistant athletic director Colin Lamb, Sports Information Director/ Promotions Dan Delgado, Dave Rupp from the GCCC faculty, Mark Douglass, pres-

ident of the Broncbuster Athletic Association, athletic department executive secretary Ashley Rutti, and Cricket Turley, GCCC director of human resources. Following his graduation from San Diego State, Trenkle spent two years as an assistant at Seward County Community College in Liberal. He then moved to the College of Eastern Utah, where he was an assistant from 2002-04. From there, he moved to Dodge City for the eight-year period of 2004-12, four as an assistant and four as head coach. “My dad probably had the most influence on me, and that’s certainly where the defense comes in,” Trenkle said. “We probably won’t see the basketball on offense for quite some time, until we get the defense where I want.”

Trenkle said two players from the past season will be retained for the 2013-14 season, those being 6-5 forward Jade Cathey, an all-Region VI selection, and 6-4 guard Reuben King of Brooklyn, N.Y. The rest of the upcoming Broncbusters’ roster will be incoming recruits, which Trenkle plans to announce soon. “I’m excited about the players we’ve got coming in already, and we’re still out there going for a few more,” Trenkle said. When he was hired in July 2012 to serve as Chappell’s assistant, Trenkle said he was looking forward to being in a less stressful position that gave him an opportunity to spend more time with his family. “You’re able to take a year, step back and evaluate

what you’re doing,” Trenkle said. “Dodge City was my first head job, and what I’ve learned over the past year I think will make me an even better head coach in the future. I want to get Garden City where it used to be. When I was on the East Coast recruiting and mentioned I was from Garden City, Kan., people recognized the name. Having a chance to be a head coach again makes you hungry. I think we’ll be tough, fun to watch.” Trenkle also has two brothers in the coaching profession — Eddie is the head coach at Northeastern Junior College in Sterling, Colo., while Swede is the head coach at Hill College in Hillsboro, Texas. Trenkle and his wife, Brooke, have three sons — Brodie, 14; Brevin, 9; and Braxon, 6.

all start at square one. Everything is new to us. It will be great to bring this new thing and do extraordinary things with it.” So while McCluster and his teammates look ahead to training camp this summer, it will be an adjustment of playing for his third head coach in four seasons. “One thing you see from coach Reid is that he knows his offense, the ins and outs, like the back of his hand,” McCluster said. “He knows the players he needs to run it. He’s laying the road map out there for us. Having that kind of guy who is excited about the offense, its great for an offensive player.”

I love to do. Once I get back in my niche, I think it’ll be great. Being versatile can really help. Whatever it may be, I wanna be that guy to make the difference when I’m on the field.” McCluster said he had been impressed with new K.C. quarterback Alex Smith, acquired in an offseason trade from the San Francisco 49ers. Smith, who had been the San Francisco starter before being sidelined for a concussion, never got his starting spot back, being replaced by Kollin Kapernick who led the team to the Super Bowl. “Things happen for a

reason,” McCluster said. “It was a big plan that God sat out for us to bring Alex Smith to us. Now we’re able to have a great quarterback. He’s shown that he’s a winner. Things have worked out for us. He knows all of his reads. He’s a guy you see leading the Kansas City Chiefs. He can go out and get the job done.” McCluster said that the combination of having a solid core group of returners, along with many newcomers, has made the competition for starting jobs intense. “With coach Reid and all the players, you just know everybody’s hungry,” McCluster said. “We

Stay far away from possible affair with former crush Dear Annie: About a year ago, I ran into a woman I used to spend time with in high school. We are both married, although she is going through a divorce. Since that day, she and I have been talking quite a bit. We discuss a lot of different things, all on a platonic level. The problem is, I believe I am becoming infatuated with her again. I had a thing for her throughout high school but never had the courage to ask her out, probably because I was too afraid to lose our friendship. I am now in a situation where I won’t be home for a few months. I know I will miss her communication. I feel I’m doing something wrong. Is this normal? Do I need to just keep my distance and cease contact?

ANNIE’S MAILBOX KATHY MITCHELL MARCY SUGAR

— Back in High School Dear Back: You recognize that you are “becoming” infatuated (we think you are already there) and will miss this woman’s communication. The fact that she is going through a divorce also puts you in an awkward position, because she may lean on you for comfort, and when she becomes available, you will find her hard to resist. Please back far, far away before you find yourself enmeshed in an affair, whether emotional or

physical. If your marriage needs revitalizing, work on it. Consider how your wife would feel if she found out how close you are to this other woman. How would you feel if she did this to you? You are playing with fire. Stop. Dear Annie: This summer, I have my concert tickets ordered and am excited to see some of my favorite performers on stage. However, I’m unsure of proper etiquette after a problem I encountered last year. I went to a country concert, which meant plenty of beer and dancing. The problem was, as soon as the audience stood up, the people directly behind me started yelling at my friend and me to sit down. We did, but we couldn’t see a thing because of the

dozens of rows of people standing in front of us. We stood back up, only to be yelled at again. I turned around and explained that everyone else was standing and they should do the same. They were angry and continued to yell throughout the concert. After the concert, they sarcastically thanked us for ruining their night. What is the right way to handle people like this? Should I sit and see nothing because misery loves company? — Juliana Dear Juliana: Concerts have evolved into two basic types: The formal concert, where everyone sits, and the informal concert, where people often stand. Once the people in the rows ahead of you get up, you need to do the

same in order to see. We have advised people who attend such concerts to try to get seats in the front row or first-row balcony if they want their view unobstructed. Those who are in wheelchairs often find there is a handicapped section, although it may be necessary to find an usher and inquire. It is unrealistic at informal events to expect hundreds of other people to sit down for your convenience. If this happens again, apologize to the people behind you and suggest that they, too, stand up or move closer to the aisle for a better view. You are not obligated to sit if the people in front of you are standing. Dear Annie: “An Anxious Mom” was reluctant to give money from her late husband’s will

to her 58-year-old unemployed son who is living on his veterans benefits. One of your suggestions was to put the money in a trust. Please suggest she check into creating a Special Needs Trust for her son. If she gives the money directly to him, he will probably spend it very quickly, but he could also lose his VA benefits. She will need to consult a lawyer knowledgeable in these matters. — M. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Dear Heloise: My freezer and fridge smell! I do have boxes of baking soda in both, yet they still smell moldy. What do I do? — E. Reed, via fax Simply putting a box of baking soda in the fridge probably won’t do it. There are many other causes for such a smell. Start by checking for leaky containers and old leftovers, and clean out the veggie bins! Then, using equal parts white (or apple cider) vinegar and water, wipe down the inside of your refrigerator. Wash the walls, bins and shelves. Go ahead and put a new box of baking soda (or a bowl of baking soda on a shelf) in to help absorb future odors. For more great timesaving and money-saving hints using vinegar and baking soda, order my two pamphlets by sending $8 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (86 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Baking Soda/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.

helps by restoring dopamine to the brain, but there are now many others. In my opinion, Parkinson’s disease should always be evaluated and treated by an expert, usually a neurologist with special expertise in movement disorders. DEAR DR. ROACH: I have a Franklin wood stove that I use to heat my house from November to April. Is it harmful to breath in ashes and air when cleaning it out and adding wood? — G.M. Wood smoke can be harmful to your lungs, and can cause chronic bronchitis and emphysema. However, a wellfunctioning wood stove will minimize the danger. Make sure it is inspected yearly and try to add several pieces of wood at the same time to minimize the number of times the doors of the stove are open. If you smell smoke, your stove isn’t working efficiently. A smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector should be in your home. Newer EPA-certified stoves are cleaner and safer than older ones.

Keep in mind that the baking soda in the refrigerator should be replaced often, and do not use it for cooking afterward! The odors it absorbed could transfer into your food! — Heloise

Save extras Dear Heloise: Even the occasional visit to a fast-food restaurant can leave you with extra condiment packages and plasticware. I save all these for traveling, camping or for the occasional picnic. — Judy K. in Washington

Keep fresh Dear Heloise: I fill the “make your own tea bags” with rice. I then put one in cereal, chips, crackers, powdered drink mix or anything else that can get stale. Then I seal the bag shut with a clip. It keeps items fresh much longer. — Roger in Indiana

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Flag Day is a nationally recognized day to honor our national flag.

Fly your flag!

On June 14, 1777, the Continental congress proposed that the United States have a national flag instead of the British Union Jack. The 13 stars of the flag represented the 13 new states. There were few public ceremonies honoring the Stars and Stripes until 1877, when on June 14, it was flown from every government building in honor of the centennial of the adoption of a national flag. The first official Flag Day was observed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1893. New York also proclaimed June 14 as Flag Day in 1897. Other states followed. In August 1949, President Harry S. Truman proclaimed June 14 as Flag Day to be nationally recognized.
