Fiesta proves to be a community celebration By SHAJIA AHMAD

In a celebration of culture and exhibition of patriotism, hues of American red, white and blue fused with the red and green shades of the Mexican flag. Flags of both North American nations colored the scenes at Saturday’s Community Mexican Fiesta, where hundreds of residents gathered to mark Mexico’s independence and celebrate
Garden City’s multicultural community. In its 86th year, organizers have touted the annual program — better known as simply the “Fiesta” — as the community’s longest running celebration, dating back to local Mexican immigrants who celebrated Mexico’s Independence Day each September in Garden City. At that time, the immigrants See Fiesta, Page A5

BOSTON (AP) — With swing voters in his sights, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is tacking toward the center on health care and defense spending now that he’s put his final partisan hurdle behind him and the sprint to Nov. 6 is underway. Romney said in an interview that aired Sunday that he would retain some popular parts of the 2010 health care law he has pledged to repeal, saying the features he would keep are commonsense measures in what he calls an otherwise costly, inefficient plan. The former Massachusetts governor also faulted congressional Republicans for going along with the White House on a budget deal that has set up automatic spending cuts that include huge reductions in defense spending — a deal his running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, helped steer. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama focused Floridians’ attention on the Republican ticket’s stand on Medicare, an issue that’s been more favorable to Democrats. Romney’s campaign dismissed the idea that the comments were a lurch toward the middle now that the Republican convention, the last partisan event of the campaign, has passed, even as Romney was visiting the most competitive states on the election map. “I’m not getting rid of all of health care reform. Of course, there are a number of things that I like in health care reform that I’m going to put in place,” Romney told NBC’s “Meet the Press” in an interview taped Friday and Saturday. He cited coverage for people with medical conditions and new insurance marketplaces. Romney’s aides said that was consistent with his previous position that those who haven’t had a gap in coverage shouldn’t be denied coverage. But the comments brought See Campaign, Page A5
Cruz happy to give back to Fiesta, Garden City By ANGIE HAFLICH
ahaflich@gctelegram.com
As he arranged vases of flowers for the Fiesta Pageant on Friday, Christopher Cruz seemed to be right in his element. The returning pageant coordinator was full of energy and excitement as he put on the finishing touches, but a little anxious, as well. “I’m a little bit nervous because I’m running the curtains, which I’ve never done before, and when the girls perform their opening number and the music starts, I only have 16 counts to get that curtain open. So I’m a little nervous about getting that open, but after that, I’ll be fine,” he said. Cruz was on the Fiesta board of directors on-and-off between his college courses, from 1985 to 2004, and as the pageant coordi-
nator during that time, he implemented several new ideas. “The Fiesta originally started as a Mexican Fiesta, so the queen was the Mexican Fiesta Queen. It used to be a contest,” he said. “And then in 2004, I took the pageant and changed the format and turned it into a scholarship pageant, so it’s been a scholarship pageant ever since. My goal when I did that was to make the pageant very diverse, multicultural — honoring all ethnic backgrounds and their traditions.” He said that for him, Fiesta means celebrating all ethnicities’ cultures.

“My goal is, in years to come, is to have a representation of every ethnic background on that stage,” he said. Currently, the scholarship awards are $1,000 for first place, $500 for first runner-up and $250 for second runner-up, sponsored by Fort Hays State University, and the money can be used at any accredited college or university of the recipient’s choice. This is part of the reason that Cruz opened the pageant to all ethnicities. “That’s why I think it’s so important for it not to be segregated, to open it up to all young women so that they can further educate themselves,” he said. “I have to say, from 2004 to present time, it’s always been Latino girls. This is the first year I have a white girl.” When Angelica Castillo Chappel, chairwoman of the

Community Mexican Fiesta Association, first approached him about returning to his role this year, Cruz was hesitant. “I was asked by Angelica to come back this year, and I told her, ‘Let me think about it,’ and then it wasn’t even an hour after she asked me, I told her, ‘I’ll do it.’ So, I’m back doing it again, and from this point on, I will probably continue to do it because Angelica told me I’m not going anywhere,” he said, laughing. In addition to opening it up to all races, Cruz wants to return the pageant to a more formal affair, while keeping it fresh and modern. “They would basically highlight the queen in her royal court, so that’s what I want to do. Bring back some of the old back to the new,” he said. See Neighbors, Page A5

Iraq’s fugitive VP convicted as attacks kill 92 BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq’s fugitive Sunni vice president was sentenced Sunday to death by hanging on charges he masterminded death squads against rivals in a terror trial that has fueled sectarian tensions in the country. Underscoring the instability, insurgents unleashed an onslaught of bombings and shootings across Iraq, killing at least 92 people in one of the deadliest days this year. It’s unlikely that the attacks in 13 cities were all timed to coincide with the afternoon verdict that capped a monthslong case against Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi, a longtime foe of Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Still, taken together, the violence and verdict could energize Sunni insurgents bent on returning Iraq to the brink of civil war by targeting Shiites and undermining the government. Al-Hashemi fled to Turkey in the months after the Shiite-led government accused him of playing a role in 150 bombings, assassinations and other attacks from 2005 to 2011 — years in which the country was mired in retaliatory sectarian violence that followed the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that ousted Saddam Hussein’s Sunni regime. Most of the attacks were allegedly carried out by alHashemi’s bodyguards and other employees, and largely targeted government officials, security forces and Shiite pilgrims. The vice president declined to immediately comment on the verdict after meeting with the Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu in Ankara. He said he would “tackle this issue in a statement” in coming hours. The politically charged case — which was announced the day after U.S. troops withdrew from the country last December — sparked a government crisis and fueled Sunni Muslim and Kurdish resentment against alMaliki, whom critics say is monopolizing power. Violence has ebbed significantly, but insurgents continue to stage high-profile bombings and shooting rampages. Al-Qaida’s Iraq branch has promised a comeback in predominant-

But the deadliest attacks in Baghdad hit Shiite areas Sunday evening, hours after the al-Hashemi verdict was announced. In all, 42 people were killed in the capital and 120 wounded, according to police and hospital officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.

Both Dujail and Kirkuk are former insurgent strongholds. Over the day, at least 92 people were killed and more than 360 wounded in at least 21 separate bombings and shootings, according to reports from police and hospital officials. No group immediately claimed responsibility, but Iraq’s Interior Ministry blamed al-Qaida in Iraq. “The attacks today on the markets and mosques are aimed at provoking sectarian and political tensions,” the ministry said in a statement. “Our war against terrorism is continuing, and we are ready.” The courtroom at Baghdad’s criminal court was silent Sunday as the presiding judge read out the verdict. It convicted al-Hashemi and his son-

both men in absentia to death by hanging. They have 30 days to appeal the verdict and could win a retrial if they return to Iraq to face the charges.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says 13-year-old Nicholas Cox of Weskan died at a hospital soon after the early Sunday morning crash. After the truck hit the cow on U.S. 40, the pickup went into a ditch. It then hit an embankment and rolled two and a half times before landing on its top. The Salina Journal reported that the teen and his father weren’t wearing seat belts.

State officials take home schooling talk off table TOPEKA (AP) — It doesn’t look like Kansas officials will be taking a look at home schooling requirements anytime soon, despite an agreement in August by the State Board of Education to have that discussion this month. Board of Education Chairman David Dennis, a Wichita Republican, told members at the board’s meeting last month that he would like to discuss whether the board should propose legislation to increase state reporting requirements for home-schoolers. But on Friday, the chairman of the House-Senate Legislative
Educational Planning Committee said there is no need to have the debate. “I don’t see us pursuing that next year,” said state Rep. Steve Huebert, a Valley Center Republican. Huebert told the Lawrence Journal-World that several members of the state board have said they heard of students being kept home to baby-sit younger siblings though parents claimed the children were being home-schooled. Current state law is adequate to investigate such allegations, Huebert said, without having to consider changing laws that deal
with home schooling. Board member Sue Storm, a Kansas City Democrat, attended the legislative Educational Planning Committee meeting Friday and said board members were being “hammered” by proponents of home schooling. In Kansas, home schooling isn’t specifically authorized, though the state recognizes what are called “non-accredited private schools.” Those schools are not required to employ state-certified teachers, but their courses must be taught by competent instructors and classes must be held for
about the same number of days as public schools. For someone to have a nonaccredited private school, the only requirement is to register the name and address of the school and custodian of school records with the state education board. Nobody wants to limit home schooling, said state Sen. Jean Schodorf, a Wichita Republican. She suggested there could be a more open dialogue between state education officials and people who home-school their children. “I want all kids in Kansas to get a quality education,” she said.
TOPEKA (AP) — Two people have been found dead inside a Topeka apartment. The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that the discovery was made Saturday morning after a tenant discovered a bullet hole in a wall and called police. Lt. Ron Gish says officers found two people dead in an adjacent apartment unit. Police also aren’t releasing the names of the victims or how they died. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is assisting Topeka police with the investigation.
$300K worth of pot seized in Wichita home WICHITA (AP) — An estimated $300,000 worth of highgrade marijuana has been recovered from a home in southeast Wichita. The Wichita Eagle reports that the seizure happened last month after a real estate agent used a cellphone to photograph the drugs. After seeing the pictures on her real estate agent’s phone, the owner of the home contacted police Aug. 30. Sgt. Bruce Watts said Saturday that the woman told officers that her husband had given a key to the new tenant before the scheduled Sept. 1 move-in date. A search of the home yielded 120 pounds of marijuana that had been grown indoors with hydroponic equipment The man who rented the house had a prior conviction for illegally entering the U.S. Immigration officials took custody of him while prosecutors consider possible charges.
Missouri inmate cuts throat with eyeglasses LIBERTY, Mo. (AP) — Authorities say a northeast Kansas man is dead after using his eyeglasses to cut his throat while jailed in western Missouri. The Kansas City Star reported that Eugene A. Hilliard was unresponsive when a deputy found him Saturday morning at the Clay County Detention Center. Sheriff Bob Boydston says the 46-year-old Ottawa man was pronounced dead at the scene. Hilliard is suspected of breaking a portion of his eyeglasses. The initial report is that he created a sharp edge by rubbing the glasses on the concrete wall or floor. Hilliard had been in the detention center since Tuesday. He was moved to a segregated cell after other inmates learned he was being held on first-degree statutory sodomy charges. Boydston says Hilliard showed no signs of depression.

Community turns out to support zoo at “A Wild Affair” By SHAJIA AHMAD
sahmad@gctelegram.com
It was an evening under the stars for animal lovers and the zoo’s furry friends and scaly creatures, all of whom were out for the nightlong festivities. Hundreds in attendance convened from across the community early Saturday night to support “A Wild Affair: Jungle Boogie,” hosted at Lee Richardson Zoo. The fundraising event, now in its seventh year, is the signature venture of Friends of Lee Richardson Zoo — the zoo’s independent fundraising arm — and proceeds from the annual event benefit future improvements and projects. Outside Wild Asia on Saturday night, the beats of the Fulton Street Band kept the 350plus party-goers entertained as they mingled, sampled foods and bid on unique items in both silent and live auctions. The impact of the community’s generosity from many past Wild Affairs was evident during the gathering, as the party was set up adjacent to the future site of Cat Canyon. The effort behind the new habitat for the zoo’s large cats — the jaguars, bobcats and the mountain lion — began in 2007. After raising nearly $1 million to pay for the planned habitat, zoo advocates broke ground in early August. “We greatly appreciate your support — then and now,” Kathy Sexson, the zoo’s director, told the crowd as she pointed to the nearby excavation work taking place. Also at this year’s “A Wild Affair,” at least 11 local restaurants and caterers from across southwest Kansas provided unique hors d’oeuvres for party-goers, who mixed and mingled while sampling the tasty treats among the wild animals of Asia: the red pandas, the Amur leopard and cranes, just to name a few. Representatives from one of those vendors — Sticky Rice in Garden City — said this was their first year serving up food at the fundrais-

Crews from the Thai and Lao eatery served stir fry, egg rolls and rice. “It benefits the zoo, so we said, ‘Why not?’” Mandy Singto, Sticky Rice’s manager, said, adding that she and her crew were excited to get involved. Brian Nelson, executive director of FOLRZ, said the food vendors’ services are donated — both their time and their goods — and those services are sponsorships that make the event possible each year. He said the event is a year-round project for staff and other core committee volunteers, in addition to the many helping hands that give their time and energy the day of the program. The zoo is closed all day to the public on the day of the program, in preparation for the venture.
Roughly 130 volunteers worked behind the scenes to turn the Wild Asia exhibit into its outdoor jubilee, Nelson said. Volunteers set up colorful lights, prepared the musical stage, positioned tables and chairs and tents and decorations, manned the gates and the beverage bar, decorated the Finnup Center into a jungle-like setting, monitored the live and silent auctions, and also helped clean up well into the early morning Sunday. Among the many gift certificates, gift baskets and services donated by area businesses and other zoo supporters in both auctions, some items even were “donated” by the zoo animals: paintings by Anya the Amur leopard, Monty the ball python, and even Missy and Kimba, the zoo’s pair of African elephants. The zoo’s bird keepers also created earrings for bid at the silent auction from feathers provided by the zoo’s flamingos and other colorful birds. Organizers said the live and silent auctions from Saturday’s event raised roughly $20,000, a partial figure that does not include proceeds from ticket sales, which was not available at press time. The FOLRZ director said roughly 250 tickets were sold, though nearly 400 individuals were in attendance, including volunteers who were admitted for free. Nelson said organizers and Friends’ board members are hopeful that the annual fundraiser rakes in about $25,000 each year, a threshold the Friends’ director was optimistic would be reached from this past weekend’s event. Last year’s “A Wild Affair” took in around $27,000, according to Nelson. The fundraising director, who took on the leadership role in April, also said that despite his Garden City roots, he’d never attended the signature zoo event in years past. “To be put in charge of an event you’ve never attended and organize that event is a bit of a challenge, but it was a lot of fun to see it pulled together,” he said.

HUTCHINSON (AP) — The two heavyweights stepped up to the scale. In one corner, coming in at an astonishing 643.2 pounds, the defending champion and six-time title-holder. In the other corner, weighing only 376 pounds, the rookie challenger in his first-ever bout. You can imagine how this fight ended. Growing giant pumpkins can be a brutal contest. On Thursday night, inside the Pride of Kansas building on the Kansas State Fairgrounds in Hutchinson, the weigh-in for this year’s giant pumpkin competition took place. For the second year in a row, drought conditions across the state made growing the behemoth gourds a difficult task. Only two pumpkins were entered. Last year, only one survived the brutal summer heat to make it to the state fair, and that pumpkin weighed only 366.5 pounds. Of course, that one pump-
kin was grown by 64-year-old Doug Heathman of Liberal. He is the undisputed grand master of growing giant pumpkins in Kansas, having won the state fair title six of the last seven years. Despite his success, the ultimate title still eludes Heathman. The state record for a pumpkin is 976.2 pounds, grown by Brian Stanley in 2007, which also is the only year since 2005 that Heathman hasn’t won the contest. He finished second that year. “Ol’ Stanley got me pretty good,” Heathman said of the loss. But this year Heathman faced a surprising challenger: 12-yearold Ryan Grabman of Wichita. This is his third year of growing giant pumpkins, but the first year he’s been successful enough to enter one in the state fair. Grabman says he was inspired to try it, in part, by seeing giant pumpkins at the state fair when he was “5 or 6 years old.” “It was 4, 5, maybe 600 pounds, I can’t remember,” Grabman said.
“I just kind of thought that’d be cool, so I tried it.” Heathman won both of those years, growing a 618-pounder in 2005 and a 680-pounder in 2006. “I think that’s a good deal,” Heathman said of the inspiration offered to Grabman. “I wish more people would do it.” As the sun set outside of the Pride of Kansas building, the two growers - the one with a bushy mustache that covers his mouth and the one with an “ESPN SportsCenter” shirt - talked pumpkin seed genetics like two people might discuss the weather. Their pumpkins, both sitting on wooden pallets in the back of pickups, were removed by forklift and placed on a scale. A crowd of about 20 people gathered to help and watch. Grabman’s beaming mother, Shari, shot the whole spectacle on video. There was never any question about which pumpkin was going to win. Heathman’s pumpkin was clearly larger than Grabman’s.
The question became what the exact weight of each gourd would be. Grabman talked about the other pumpkin in his yard that rotted out last week, estimated to weigh 680 pounds. Heathman showed pictures on his phone of other pumpkins he has grown, some of which suffered splits or rotted out much like Grabman’s. “This one was 917, but it split out,” Heathman said while showing a picture. The two pumpkins were carted off to the northwest corner of the Pride of Kansas building, where they will be displayed for the rest of the week, and the Grabmans and Heathman took pictures. Later, the two growers shook hands, and Heathman jumped back in his truck to make the long drive back to Liberal. Though Grabman came up short in his quest to grow the largest pumpkin in the state this year, he vowed there would be a rematch. “I’ll do it again.” Grabman said. “Next year.”

A
s youngsters devote so much time to texting one another on their cell phones, it’s easy to wonder if they’ll ever be able to correspond by writing a letter on paper, or writing longhand in any way. And many young people today probably wonder why they’d even need to do as much, considShould youngsters be ering digital required to learn how to technology. write in cursive? Add your Local educacomments at the end of tors, however, the online version still believe of this editorial at good penmanGCTelegram.com/opinion. ship shouldn’t be erased from the old standards of reading, writing and arithmetic. As new technology has replaced some handwriting in daily work, schools nationwide have done away with teaching cursive writing. That’s not the case in Garden City USD 457, where elementary school teachers who see cursive writing as an important skill still teach it to third-graders. For good reason. Studies have found that many elementary-school teachers believe students with fluent handwriting produce written assignments that are easier to read, and superior in quality. Educators also have cause to believe students are more thoughtful when writing something longhand, versus hastily pecking away on a keyboard. The art of writing in cursive also promises to come in handy for students when they need to take notes. While students in USD 457 have access to iPads in high school, they may not always be able to use such devices for note-taking. It helps to take notes in cursive because it’s speedier and more efficient than printing. Teachers also note that the ability to write in cursive will help students read various kinds of writing they may encounter. Historical documents, for example, would be more difficult to decipher without some familiarity with cursive writing. Among other more practical reasons for students to learn cursive would be that as they move into adulthood, they’ll encounter a number of legal documents that require a signature. While we don’t expect to see such a style of writing on paper ever completely replace the steady stream of text messaging and other forms of electronic communication, penmanship should remain part of the curriculum. Kudos to those educators who know that regardless of technological advances that make some things easier, the art of handwriting should never go out of style.
Deep fried in mistaken belief E
ven as I watched all the hot air swirling about the Republican National Convention, I was reminded of a basic fact about American life: We can still engage with serious ideas, and we can still make great art. That is exactly why Byron Hurt’s newest documentary, “Soul Food Junkies,” is so important — an instant classic, even. Hurt (who also made the essential “Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes”) has provided us with vital lessons about American culture, both its triumphs and its shortcomings. The emotionally deep new documentary examines black Americans’ relationship with soul food, which has its roots in the antebellum South. It is stuff like fried chicken and waffles, pigs’ feet and grits. But this is not a shallow celebration of greasy-but-delicious fare. Instead, this film — like all of Hurt’s works — is full of truths that are both hard and scientific, but that are extremely important to our understanding of the full American experience. Some black people are known to say angrily that no one has the right to criticize anything about “our culture” and what makes us who we are. That kind of thinking is dangerous. It is, in fact, the very same kind of defensiveness Republicans often practice. Hurt, who is black, shows that, in fact, ills like diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and various forms of cancer are part of what makes black people who they are. The public health hazards that result from an unhealthy diet are frightening. Much as with hip-hop, Hurt reveals the irresponsible strains of self-denial and resistance to outside voices that are harming blacks.
Letters Policy
Stanley Crouch King Features Syndicate Hurt counters potential detractors when investigating the death of his own father, who was a homegrown soulfood junkie, a man addicted to the high-calorie, high-fat, high-starch foods that are supposedly essential to the black experience. Hurt is not against that food — unless it is explicitly unhealthy. He is against the thoughtless logic that says: “This has so much heart, so much soul, it must be good. It is a tradition, and nobody is going to tell me my tradition is inferior to anybody else’s.” Americans are at their best when they question each other, engage in debate, make each other better through the use of both passion and reason. This is what Hurt does in his film. And government has a role in promoting health and other outcomes we have deemed as desirable. This is true despite what some of Hurt’s subjects say, despite the factoids being tossed about by tea partyers during the RNC. The truth is, government can help make us better. Byron Hurt is calling for change, and that change starts at home, in the kitchen. Most of it can be done by those who love soul food but need to decide to learn what is good for them and what is not, privately prepared or mass produced by the fast-food industry. “Soul Food Junkies” is affirmative yet questioning, and very strong in the emotions it evokes. The fast-food industry does not sell poison, no matter what its critics say. And it will not react to demands for higher-quality food until it becomes

COMMENTARY
less profitable to continue selling what it does. Something must be done. We often say those words. But it is true this time around. During the civil-rights movement, people learned that a dollar has two kinds of power — if it is spent and if it is not. Any business looking for dollars will notice this. That is why, way down yonder in Tampa, Fla., Condoleezza Rice was so powerful. She made it inarguably clear that the chief civil-rights challenge of today is that, when black students get a substandard education, they are doomed to substandard lives. Their doom predicts our own. We are that closely connected. In short, everyone needs to be in the boat, paddling or bailing, making us move or keeping us from becoming waterlogged before sinking. Following what Rice made clear, we must learn how to play the long game and enrich our nation’s competitiveness. The Harlem Educational Activities Fund is a working model with the numbers that can stand up under the most intense scrutiny. Those are the kinds of people we need. It may start with soul food, but it does not end there. We must learn to do what is best for us. Never follow an unhealthy tradition, because it is tasty but will, as one of Hurt’s interviewed celebrities says, kill you. Now one has to learn how to enjoy food that is soulful but prepared for health. Do not fail to play the long game in the national interest, especially when supporting the public and charter schools. That is what we mean by the truly American way. Taking time, scrutinizing, and getting better at a human pace
Insight s Kansas Chapman Rackaway with the right leadership. Democrats would not supplant the Republicans as the state’s majority party, but could return to their competitiveness during the Sebelius era. However, the last time moderate Republicans were enticed to switch to the Democrats, only a few made the move. Paul Morrison and Mark Parkinson did not inspire a flood of Republicans to leave the party, but they were not shown the door in the emphatic way Schodorf and her kind were. Schodorf and the bevy of other ousted Republicans like Tim Owens, Roger Reitz and Dick Kelsey could simply run as independents. Unaffiliated voters in Kansas are smaller in number than nationwide, but the number is growing and popular dissatisfaction with the two main parties could inspire a Ross Perot-style anti-party revolt. However, even Ross Perot eventually decided he needed a party, which leads to the third option. Assuming conservatives and moderates make roughly equal numbers of the state GOP, rather than moving in with Democrats Schodorf may decide it’s time to build a new house and form a new party entirely. Third parties like the Populists have a history in Kansas, sweeping the GOP out in the late 1800s. Former Governor Bill Graves and Senate President Steve Morris were able to quickly
build a campaign apparatus outside the existing GOP structure during the primary and fund it well, though the Democratic-allied sources of that money make it unlikely they could access that money again from a new party. Moderate Republicans do vote distinctly differently than their Democratic counterparts, so they might be an awkward fit there. But a third party, able to control its own agenda and platform, raise its own money and offer a consistent alternative vision might be a viable option. The history of third parties does not suggest we should have much confidence, however. Whether it is Perot’s Reform Party, or going back to the Know-Nothings and AntiMasonic parties, third parties tend to have a quick rise and quicker fall. The Libertarians and Socialists notwithstanding, most startup political parties do not last more than an election or two. But most startup parties lack the existing numbers and structure that Schodorf’s group has. And most of those other parties were national, where voters are more divided between the main parties. Here in Kansas, there is a sizable chunk of the population that just might respond to a new political entity. The divorce from Brownback’s conservatives just might give Schodorf and her allies the opportunity to blaze a new trail and compete with a brand new party.

he Charlotte host committee knew its audience at the Democratic National Convention. “Government,” the narrator says in a video produced by the committee for the opening of the convention, “is the only thing we all belong to.” The Obama campaign quickly disavowed the video. But it captured all that was to come. The Charlotte Democrats are of, by and for government — especially when it is guaranteeing and facilitating access to abortion. Democrats apparently held the convention in the Time Warner Cable Arena only because the local Planned Parenthood clinic down on Albemarle Road wasn’t available. God might have been left out of the party platform in a fit of absent-mindedness (and then acrimoniously restored), but government would never suffer such an indignity. It is the Alpha and Omega. The maker of dreams, the giver of succor, the ultimate expression of community. When Democrats say “We’re all in it together,” what they mean is that the Office of Extramural Research, Education and Priority Populations in the Department of Health and Human Services needs twice as much funding. For Clinton Democrats, the era of Big Government was over. For Obama Democrats, the era of Big Government is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Occasionally, anyone could nod along at the stories from the podium of old-fashioned American hardiness. Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak’s pioneer relatives crossed the Great Plains on a wagon train, and his widowed mother raised three kids. San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro’s orphaned grandmother worked as maid and baby sitter to give his mom and him a chance. Michelle Obama’s dad got up and went to work every day at the city water plant, despite the debilitating pain of multiple sclerosis. These stirring evocations of family devotion, of community, of hard work in the face of adversity all turned, in the end, inevitably into apologia for government. After talking of how the sacrifices of others paved the way for him, Castro asked: “But the question is, How do we multiply that success? The answer is President Barack Obama.” Oh, yes, where would we be without the Great Father? “In tough times,” Rybak said, “we come together.” To pass the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, evidently. “Barack is thinking about folks like my dad,” Michelle Obama said, “and his grandmother.” That’s what the nearly $800 billion stimulus and the new $2 trillion health-care entitlement were all about, according to the first lady — though neither her dad nor his grandmother was a wastrel or a spendthrift. The Democrats’ favorite trick is describing how we all depend on one another. We all have parents, teachers and neighbors. And then leveraging these connections to insist on increasing the size and scope of the least personal, least community-oriented institution — the federal government. Washington is not good at promoting aspiration. Democrats always talk of student loans, but the federal aid feeds the maw of an academic-industrial complex that increasingly delivers inferior educations at an ever-spiraling cost. In reality, the American state is largely devoted to taking money from some people and giving it to others. Nicholas Eberstadt writes in an excerpt from his forthcoming book, “A Nation of Takers”: “As a day-to-day operation, the U.S. government devotes more attention and resources to the public transfers of money, goods and services to individual citizens than to any other objective.” This is the model of government that is breaking down in Europe and wheezing here at home. But Democrats can no more criticize government than they could attack their mothers or fathers. It is what we all belong to — and the more belonging the better.

A native of Garden City, Cruz opened his own business about three months ago, Christopher Cruz Designs. He shares the space with Delores Gillen’s Vogue Shop, 1103 E. Kansas Plaza. The new shop will allow him to focus on his design work. “I’m a cosmetologist by trade, but I’m also a wedding planner, an event planner, a floral designer, visual designer and interior designer,” he said. One might think that a small business might have more success in a metropolitan area, but Cruz said that when he was considering moving to Dallas several years ago, a business associate
gave him some advice. “He said, ‘Well, let me ask you this. Would you prefer to be the big fish in the small pond or the little fish in the big pond?’ And I thought, ‘You know what? He’s right. I have a very successful business, and why do I want to change that?’” Cruz said. He also said that he prefers the small community of Garden City, which is reflected in his volunteer activities. “This is my way of thanking Garden City — by all the community events and things that I do for Garden City and the community. That’s my way of thanking them for being good to me. Garden City is good to me. I’m good to Garden City,” he said.

Is it because he’s black? The question of whether race fuels opposition to President Barack Obama has become one of the most divisive topics of the election. It is sowing anger and frustration among conservatives who are labeled racist simply for opposing Obama’s policies and liberals who see no other explanation for such deep dislike of the president. It is an accusation almost impossible to prove, yet it remains inseparable from the African-American experience. The idea, which seemed to die in 2008 when Obama became the first black president, is now rearing its head from college campuses to cable TV. Four years after an election that inspired hopes of a post-racial future, there are signs that political passions are dragging us backward. “We’re at a tipping point,” said Susan Glisson, director of the Institute for Racial Reconciliation at the University of Mississippi. “But I don’t know which
way we’re going to tip.” Glisson knows that many conservatives disagree with Obama solely because of his policies. “But I am also quite certain that there are others who object to the president because of his race, because they have a fear of blacks that is embedded in our culture,” she said. Her conclusion is based on “implicit bias”— prejudices people don’t realize they have. Studies show that due to longstanding negative stereotypes about AfricanAmericans — which give such false impressions as most black people are dangerous, unintelligent or prefer welfare to work — many people harbor anti-black biases yet don’t even know it. Such biases, the studies show, are present in people of all backgrounds, not just whites. “Our history has created this unconscious bias,” said Gail Christopher, vice president of program strategy for the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. “Now we need to create safe places to discuss and educate people about unconscious bias, where we are not blaming and shaming them.”

primarily were employed at the now-shuttered sugar beet plant in Finney County, and also worked on the railroads in the early to mid-20th century. The Fiesta celebration continued this weekend with mariachi-style music, traditional Mexican fare, folkloric dancers with fast tapping feet and the official “grito,” or cry of independence. “Viva México!” the large crowd of Fiesta-goers gathered in Stevens Park shouted thrice at the start of Saturday’s day-long program, an exclamation that followed after a group prayer and the singing of both the American and Mexican national anthems. Garden City Mayor David Crase also addressed the crowd in the late morning from atop the bandshell stage in Stevens Park, speaking first in Spanish. “Buenos días, señores y señoras,” Crase said, greeting the ladies and gentlemen in the crowd. “Como estas? Bien? Muy bien!”
The mayor read from a proclamation adopted by the Garden City Commission earlier this month, recognizing Sept. 15 through Oct. 15 as Hispanic Heritage Month in Garden City. “The celebration of freedom and independence is a tribute to the achievements which have made possible a way of life for the people as individuals in a free society,” Crase said. “We are proud to celebrate 86 years of the Community Mexican Fiesta, which is a tradition that has provided cultural richness to our community.” Before the start of Saturday’s musical entertainment in Stevens Park, hundreds gathered along Main Street to watch the Fiesta parade, while vendors sold sombreros and mini Mexican flags. The public procession featured brightly decorated floats; the Garden City High School band and color guard bearing brown and gold; members of Garden City’s Indian community, some wearing colorful, floor-length saris and many carrying flags

renewed attention to the similarities between Obama’s plan and the one Romney championed when he was Massachusetts governor, which included protections for health conditions and an individual mandate that the Republican has since railed against. The GOP nominee, who attended church in Boston before debate practice sessions Sunday, didn’t offer specifics for how he’d deal with the affordability of insurance, but suggested competition would help bring down costs. For seniors, Romney has called for restructuring Medicare by giving retirees a government payment that they would use to choose between traditional Medicare and private insurance. Romney aides dismissed the idea that the candidate’s comments about the defense cuts or health care were an effort to appear less partisan with the race for undecided voters now under way. Spokesman Kevin Madden said Romney was sharper in his criticism of Obama than he was of House Republicans on military cuts. Madden also said calling for the repeal of the 2010 health care law and supporting some of its provisions are consistent. “Repealing Obamacare is a focus because it costs too much and the taxes and regulations are hurting small business. That’s common sense,” Madden said. “Affordability and portability of health care insurance aren’t partisan issues.” Obama, campaign for a second day in Florida, tried to move past a weak jobs report Friday and highlight the impact of Romney’s proposals on older workers and those nearing retirement. The president promoted a study showing that future retirees under Romney’s plan would pay tens of thousands of dollars more for health care
over their retirement period. The report was rejected quickly by Romney’s campaign, which faulted Obama for relying on “discredited attacks” and noted the study was conducted by Obama’s former adviser. Obama told about 3,000 supporters in Melbourne, Fla., that if Romney had his way, Americans will pay more so insurers could make more. “No American should have to spend their golden years at the mercy of insurance companies,” he said. In Ohio, another critical battleground, Vice President Joe Biden piled on, mocking Republicans for saying they want to protect Medicare and claiming that under Romney’s leadership, benefits would be slashed. Hoping to put a human face on the issue, Obama ate breakfast at a Florida cafe with two older couples concerned about Medicare costs. But a brief interaction with another patron and Romney supporter underscored what polls show is a persistent problem for Obama with voters who like him personally but question his economic competence. “I always thought he was a very personable person, nice person,” said 73-year-old Bill Terrell of Cocoa, Fla. “I just don’t think he’s doing a good job on the economy.” In broadcast interviews, Romney and Ryan kept the heat on Obama on the economic front, warning that across-theboard spending cuts set to take effect at the start of 2013 could devastate the defense budget. Half of the cuts are expected to come from the Pentagon if Congress doesn’t reach a budget solution in the next few months. But Romney’s attacks on the president for signing the deficit-reduction measure had some collateral damage for his running mate, who as House Budget Committee chairman both voted for and loudly praised the bill that created the trigger for the automatic spending cuts.

Surprising methods heal maimed, wounded troops BOSTON (AP) — Scientists are growing ears, bone and skin in the lab, and doctors are planning more face transplants and other extreme plastic surgeries. Around the country, the most advanced medical tools that exist are now being deployed to help America’s newest veterans and wounded troops. • In Los Angeles, surgeons used part of Michael Mills’ forehead to rebuild his nose after a bomb disfigured him in Iraq. • In Pittsburgh, doctors used an experimental therapy from pig tissue to help regrow part of a thigh muscle that Ron Strang lost in a blast in Afghanistan. • In Boston, scientists are making plans for the first implants of labgrown ears for wounded troops after successful experiments in sheep and rats. • In San Antonio and other cities, doctors are testing sprayed-on skin cells and lab-made sheets of skin to heal burns and other wounds. The ingenuity is impressive: One product was developed from foreskin left over from circumcisions. Much of this comes from taxpayer-funded research. Four years

Scientists are growing ears, bone and skin in the lab, and doctors are planning more face transplants and other extreme plastic surgeries. Around the country, the most advanced medical tools that exist are now being deployed to help America’s newest veterans and wounded troops. ago, the federal government created AFIRM, the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine, a network of top hospitals and universities, and gave $300 million in grants to spur new treatments using cell science and
advanced plastic surgery. “The whole idea is to bring all these researchers together to develop these great technologies that were in early science to eventually be ready for the troops,” said AFIRM’s recently retired director,

Terry Irgens. Now those who served are coming home, and projects that once had been languishing in labs are making strides and starting to move into clinics. Strang is among those
benefiting. The 28-yearold Marine sergeant from Pittsburgh lost half of a thigh muscle to shrapnel, leaving too little to stabilize his gait. “My knee would buckle and I’d fall over,” he said. Now, after an experi-
mental treatment at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, “I’m able to run a little bit” and play a light football game with friends, he said. “It’s been a huge improvement.” It’s one example of the “new medicine” in the works for troops. The Associated Press conducted more than a dozen interviews and reviewed the latest medical research to measure the progress and extent of novel treatments under way for wounded warriors. The results point to some surprising feats of surgery and bioengineering. Up to a thousand troops might need an ear, and prosthetics are not a great solution. A rod or other fastener is required to attach them to the head. They don’t look or feel natural and they wear out every couple of years. A matching ear grown from a patient’s own cells would be a huge improvement. “People have been working on this for 20 years” but haven’t been able to overcome obstacles to making it practical, said Cathryn Sundback, director of the tissue engineering lab at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Congress hits impasse as deadline for budget looms WASHINGTON (AP) — Just a week away from a possible government shutdown, lawmakers boxed themselves into a new budget impasse Friday. With Congress’ approval ratings already at an all-time low, a tit-fortat over disaster aid left Republicans and Democrats — and the House and Senate — in a faceoff that’s all too familiar to millions of Americans. Deep partisan disputes pushed the government to the edge of a partial shutdown in April, and to the brink of a debt ceiling crisis in late July. On Friday, the Democratic-controlled Senate blocked a Republican House bill that would provide stopgap federal spending, plus aid for people battered by hurricanes, tornadoes and other natural disasters. The legislation also calls for $1.6 billion in spending cuts to help defray the disaster costs. 11 Democrats say20 it’s unprecedented r 2, and unfair embeto require spending cuts

WTC memorial magnificent, but at a steep price NEW YORK (AP) — With its huge reflecting pools, ringed by waterfalls and skyscrapers, and a cavernous underground museum still under construction, the National Sept. 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center is an awesome spectacle that moved and inspired some 4.5 million visitors in its first year. But all that eye-welling magnificence comes with a jaw-dropping price tag. The foundation that runs the memorial estimates that once the roughly $700 million project is complete, the memorial and museum will together cost $60 million a year to operate. The anticipated cost has bothered some critics and raised concerns even among the memorial’s allies that the budget may be unsustainable without a hefty government subsidy. By comparison, the National Park Service budgeted $8.4 million this year to operate and maintain Gettysburg National Military Park and $3.6 million for the monument that includes the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor.

Officials at the 9/11 memorial say they face unique challenges that make comparisons to other national memorials difficult.
The foundation plans to spend at least a fifth of its operating budget, or around $12 million per year, on private security because of terrorism fears. Visitors to the memorial plaza pass through airport-like security,
and armed guards patrol the grounds. “The fact of the matter is that this was a place that was attacked twice,” said Joseph Daniels, the foundation’s president and chief executive.

UT-A’s Dennis Harp chosen to lead GCCC athletics department By ADAM HOLT
aholt@gctelegram.com
After nearly two and a half months of searching, Garden City Community College has found a new athletic director. Dennis Harp, who is leaving his post as athletics development director for the University of Texas-Arlington, was to be announced as GCCC’s new athletic director today at a 10 a.m. press conference. The press conference was to be held at the GCCC Hall of Fame room in the Perryman Athletic Complex. “I’m very excited about
Busters come up on short end of shootout with Blue Dragons, 63-49.
Dennis and what he’ll bring to the program,” GCCC president Herbert Swender said in a weekend interview. “They have great tradition here,” Harp said in a phone interview. “They have great tradition throughout the years.” Harp’s work at UT-Arlington included securing donors and fundraising for projects, and his résume includes a strong history of raising funds and building relationships. “He’s got a lot of experience with the philanthropic side of athletics, and that’s going to be an important factor for the future
of the programs here,” Swender said. “As we grow and the college grows and our athletic programs grow, we’re going to need someone with Dennis’ experiences and background to help make that happen.” “I love to fundraise. I really do,” Harp said. “I just really enjoy it. I like people, I like to visit with people and have them share our vision, what we’re doing, have them get involved.” Harp also spent more than 25 years at Hardin Simmons University in Abilene, Texas. He
served 10 years as director of corporate relations, which mainly involved working with donors, and helping with the school’s “Securing the Future” capital campaign, which raised $48 million. Harp said he was a “jack of all trades,” at Hardin Simmons, a necessity at a small school with a small developmental staff. In addition to raising capital and funds for the athletic department, he also helped with other projects, including raising donations to get the rock band Kansas
to come and perform with the school’s orchestra. He also served as Hardin Simmon’s men’s basketball coach from 1988 to 2001, and was one of the youngest coaches in the NCAA when he was hired at 31. He was familiar with Garden City from his recruiting days at Hardin Simmons. That, and Harp, an Indiana-native and Hoosiers fan, remembered Keith Smart, a former GCCC standout who transferred to Indiana University and helped win IU the 1987 NCAA championship.

Taking offense
By ADAM HOLT

In a game filled with big plays, Hutchinson had just a couple more than Garden City. The No. 19 Broncbusters found themselves in another shootout, this time on the losing end, falling 63-49 to the No. 14 Blue Dragons on Saturday night at Memorial Stadium. Nine of the 16 touchdowns in the game came on plays of at least 30 yards, as both offenses were explosive, and the teams combined for at least 22 points in each quarter. “We’re going to take this as a positive, and learn from our mistakes,” GCCC head coach Jeff Tatum said. “What we’re doing good, take that confidence and keep going. Our defense is very confident — we’ve given up big plays, and some of it is bad tackling and some of it is bad angles.” The Blue Dragons (2-1, 2-0 Jayhawk Conference) scored three unanswered touchdowns in the third quarter to go up 49-35, and the Busters (2-1, 1-1) never got closer than a touchdown afterward. “I don’t think we were playing as hard as we could have,” safety Matt Esquibel said of the defense. “Other than that, we

We’ll just learn from that going into next week.” Hutchinson’s Terrell Lane gashed Garden City for 308 yards rushing on 29 carries, with three

This time, Wildcats storm by Hurricanes
By ARNE GREEN
Special to The Telegram
MANHATTAN — This time there would be no game-ending goal line stand, and nobody seemed to care. By the time Miami finally put the ball in the Kansas State end zone with less than four minutes left, the Wildcats’ starters had long since kicked up their heels on the sideline. So thorough was No. 21ranked K-State’s domination Saturday that even Bill Snyder was hard-pressed to find fault with his team’s 52-13 thrashing of the Hurricanes at Snyder Family Stadium. “The kickoff return, there were a couple of schemes that defensively we gave up in the passing game and there was an issue where we got too fancy with a couple of snaps,” was the best he could muster as the Wildcats (2-0) scored on all but one possession in the first half, took the ball away three times defensively and did not punt until the game’s closing seconds. It certainly was a far cry from last year’s trip to Miami, where the Wildcats held on for dear life to escape with a 28-24 victory. “Coming off of last year, we played so many close games, it feels good to be able to control
touchdowns. He scored on a 64yard run in the second quarter and a 59-yard run in the fourth quarter for the Blue Dragons’ final score. Lane was patient, and waited for holes to open up, bursting through and breaking tackles. Also key were the HCC receivers’ downfield blocking, which made sure some big gains could go all the way for touchdowns. “A lot of good blocking taking place by our O-line,” Hutchinson head coach Rion Rhoades said. “Anytime one guy gets 308 yards on the ground, you know they’re doing a good job up front. I thought
our receivers really blocked well downfield and made some of those big plays into touchdowns.” “Part of it is, he’s a guy you talk about, you’ve got to tackle him,” Tatum said of Lane. “You can’t knock him down, you’ve got to tackle him to the ground. The thing you’ve got to really appreciate about him is his patience. He didn’t just bang it up in there, he just kind of glided. If something was there, he scooted through, had great anticipation.” Hutchinson rolled up 716 yards of total offense, to Garden City’s 549. GCCC’s Jamal Tyler was held
to 69 yards on eight rushes, but the Busters got their own explosive performance from speedster Tyreek Hill. Hill took a screen pass 78 yards in the first quarter to give Garden City a 14-6 lead early on. He also returned the opening kick of the second half 103 yards for a score and a 35-28 lead. Both Tyler and Hill were dangerous on returns, and after Hill’s touchdown return, Hutchinson stopped kicking the ball deep to him. “Our coverage just wasn’t See Shootout, Page B3
Ryan’s 4 TDs send Falcons past Chiefs
a game like that and to handle a game from start to finish,” said sophomore wide receiver Curry Sexton, who scored his first career touchdown on a 27yard strike from Collin Klein to put the Wildcats up 24-3 in the second quarter. “That’s huge, because you don’t worry the whole game and you can afford to put in subs. “It helps the team’s confidence and I think it helps going forward.” For a team that won eight games by a touchdown or less last year, it certainly was a change of pace. By the time it was all said and done, the Wildcats had employed three quarterbacks, four running backs and backups at just about every position. Offensively, K-State racked up 498 yards with 288 on the ground and 210 passing. Klein was 9 of 11 throwing with one touchdown and one interception, plus rushed for 71 yards and three more scores. Backup quarterback, Daniel Sams scored on runs of 15 and 11 yards, finishing with 47 yards on three carries. “In the four years since I’ve been here, I’ve never seen the offense play as complete as we did today,” said junior running back John Hubert, rushed 19
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs were without their best pass rusher, their top coverage cornerback, a stalwart on the defensive line and a reliable safety who hardly ever misses a game. Tough way to face the potent Atlanta Falcons in the season opener. The rag-tag Kansas City defense couldn’t slow down Matt Ryan and Co. on Sunday, and the Chiefs offense couldn’t keep up. The result was a 40-24 defeat that was only close for a half. “It’s only one game in a long season,” said Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel, who threw for 258 yards and contributed two touchdowns, but also committed three turnovers that led to points. “We obviously have to make a lot of corrections and get better as a football team. We’ve got to play collectively,” Cassel said. “We’ve got a lot of resilient guys in there. We’re going to get back to work and get this thing fixed.” The team doctors may be more valuable than the coaching staff in that respect. Starting safety Kendrick Lewis (right shoulder), cornerback Brandon Flowers (right heel) and defensive tackle Anthony Toribio (right ankle) were inactive due to injuries, while Pro Bowl pass rusher Tamba Hali was suspended for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy. Little wonder Ryan threw for 299 yards and accounted for four touchdowns, or that Julio Jones caught six passes for 108 yards and two scores. Tony Gonzalez

GCHS roundup: Boys soccer third By BRETT MARSHALL

Garden City Community College’s James Kelly, right, and Rodriguez Coleman, left, celebrate Raul Silva scoring a touchdown off a 68-yard pass reception against Hutchinson on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.
Shootout: Busters fall short in 63-49 offensive loss to Hutch Continued from Page B1
doing a very good job,” Rhoades said. “Tyreek’s a great player, he’s unbelievably fast. I knew when he broke, we weren’t going to catch him. Just wasn’t worth it. We gave up some crazy amounts of field position by doing that, but it just wasn’t worth it to kick it deep to him.” And while Marshall threw four interceptions, he finished 18-of-33 for 405 yards and five touchdowns, adding a short scoring run for GCCC’s first points. Marshall often extended plays with his legs and was able to find receivers downfield to keep drives alive. He also rolled out of the pocket on a number of his touchdown throws. But in a game where almost every drive resulted in points, the red-zone turnovers hurt. “We rebounded from it,” Tatum said. “The last one, it’s not a momentum killer, but it also hurts, like you took points off the board. They weren’t momentum changers, they just took points off the board. “You can’t really fault him (Marshall) for thatbecause he made some of those same type plays and we scored when we probably shouldn’t have.” Rod Coleman had eight catches for 89 yards and a 6-yard touchdown catch on a fourth-down play. Raul Silva added four receptions for 133 yards, with 3-yard and 68-yard touchdown catches.
Hutchinson quarterback Luke Barnes rebounded from a down game last week against Navarro College (Texas), and went 29-of-45 for 359 yards and six touchdowns. Receiver Jatavius Stewart had seven catches for 138 yards and two touchdowns, while Lane and Antonio Johnson also had two touchdown catches apiece. Garden City was without starting cornerback Riyahd Jones, who was out with an ankle injury suffered in GCCC’s game against Cisco, Texas. Quintavious Harrow started in his place, and Tatum said the Busters may have missed Jones’ on-field leadership more than anything. “There were a lot of momentum swings in the second half, and the defense couldn’t get a stop,” Esquibel said. “Didn’t go our way.” Garden City gets some extra time to get healthy with a bye this week, before heading to Air Force Prep for a 1 p.m. Sept. 22 game in Colorado Springs, Colo. Despite the result, Tatum said the Busters are still confident, and as a close-knit group, will rebound from the loss. “I think our kids, because they understand how good they are, and they will take this as a learning experience,” he said. “Yes, they’re down about the loss, and they should be. That means they care about winning, they care about one another.”

me go drum up the money for that,’” he said. Harp has a master’s of education, counseling and human development from Hardin Simmons, as well as a B.A. in health, physical education and recreation from Mount Mary College in Yankton, S.D. Swender said Harp’s experience raising funds, as well as his familiarity with college athletics at both the four-year and twoyear levels, put him atop a group of about eight finalists, culled from a group of around 70 applicants. “(It’s) his understanding of how to grow programs, not only fundraising, but friend-raising, and how to get the interest and excitement in intercollegiate athletics,” Swender said.
Swender also noted that upgrading GCCC’s athletic facilities might be an area where Harp’s experiences could be a strength. “Those are discussions we’re going to have as soon as he gets on board,” Swender said. “I think those are definitely topics of discussion we’ll see in the immediate future.” “That may take some individual donors, or that could be some corporate sponsorships, or that could be a combination of both,” Harp said. “We’ve done that at other places, and there’s no reason that can’t be done here. We just have to have a prioritized list of what we need, what’s most important.” The athletic director position had been filled

The Garden City High School boys soccer team bounced back from its first defeat of the season to capture third place on Saturday at the Wichita South Titan Classic, with a 3-1 victory over Emporia. It was the second win of the season over the Spartans for coach Joaquin Padilla and the Buffs, having defeated them 6-1 at home in the season opener. The Buffs took a 1-0 lead after the first half when Erik Barragan scored on an unassisted goal just four minutes into the game. Emporia tied it with a goal in the 55th minute of the second half. In the 60th minute, the Buffs regained the lead for good when Joel Sanchez scored off an assist from Barragan for a 2-1 lead. Diego Benitez provided the insurance goal on an assist from Sanchez in the 79th minute to ice the victory. The Buffs got 12 shots from their offense while limiting Emporia to eight shots. Goalkeeper Cesar
Solorzano had six saves for the Buffs. Now 4-1, the Buffs return home on Tuesday for a 5:30 p.m. game against Thomas More Prep-Marian of Hays.
■ Girls tennis
The GCHS girls tennis team opened its 2012 season on Saturday with a fourth-place finish out of seven teams at the Great Bend Invitational. The Lady Buffs finished with 30 points while host Great Bend easily took the title with 60 points. Dodge City was runner-up with 42 points, and Ellinwood third with 32 points. There were three fourth-place finishes for the Lady Buffs and one fifth-place finish. Claire Schmidt, playing No. 1 singles, Jannette Martinez and Bryttany Landon playing No. 1 doubles and Tania CarmonaPastrana and Kaylee Keller at No. 2 doubles all took fourth place in their respective divisions. Allison Doll was fifth at No. 2 singles. Schmidt, a sophomore, finished the day with a 33 record while Martinez/ Landon went 2-3 for the
opening tourney of the season. Carmona-Pastrana and Keller managed just one win against three losses while Doll posted a 2-4 record. The Lady Buffs are right back in action at 3 p.m. on Tuesday at the Goddard Invitational. See results in Scoreboard, Page B2.
■ Volleyball
The Garden City High School volleyball team had a rough outing on Saturday, falling in all three matches at the Valley Center Invitational. The Lady Buffs lost to Andover in their opening match, 25-22, 25-16 before falling in three sets in each of their next two matches. They fell to Hutchinson, 18-25, 25-11, 25-21 and then to Wichita East 21-25, 2522, 25-12. “It was a bad day,” said GCHS coach Sara Stecki. “We never found our rhythm and couldn’t bounce back after losing three or four points.” The three losses left the Buffs team with a 34 season record and they will travel to Ulysses for a 4 p.m. quadrangular on Thursday.

times for 106 yards and a touchdown. “Everything was working. “The running game was working, the passing game was working. Everything was hitting today.” The only slip-up in the first half was botched trick play at the 1-yard line where Klein tried to flip the ball behind his back to receiver Chris Harper on a reverse. The play lost 19 yards, forcing a field goal attempt that Anthony Cantele missed wide left from 28 yards. The Wildcat defense, not to be outdone, slammed the door on Miami three times in the red zone, limiting the Hurricanes to two firsthalf field goals and registering a fourth-down stop in the third quarter before a long kickoff return set up the lone touchdown.
Miami (1-1) had 100 yards in the first quarter, but still trailed 14-3, and managed just 266 yards for the game. K-State limited the Hurricanes to 40 yards on the ground. “It’s definitely something to build off of, but we’ve got a lot to learn and still a lot to improve on,” senior linebacker Justin Tuggle said of the defense. “I feel like we’re on the up and we’re a fast defense. “If we play our keys, get lined up and play fast, we can run around pretty well. Hopefully we can keep that up.” Stephen Morris completed 19 of 26 passes for 215 yards and Ryan Williams both of his attempts for 7 yards and a touchdown to tight end Clive Walford. Mike James led the Hurricanes in rushing with 27 yards on nine carries.
The Miami touchdown came after Duke Johnson broke free for a 77-yard kickoff return to the KState 17. Senior defensive end Adam Davis had two sacks and forced two fumbles, including one recovered by Arthur Brown that led the Wildcats’ second touchdown of the game and a 14-0 lead. Tackles John Sua and Vai Lutui teamed up for a sack and fumble recovery that led to another score. Then there was Brown, who led the team with 10 tackles from his middle linebacker position, adding a sack on third-andgoal late in the third quarter that helped preserve a 31-6 lead. “It definitely was an exciting game, not only for us as a defense, but us as a team,” said Brown, a Miami transfer.

even added a TD catch in his return to Kansas City, just to rub a little dirt in the Chiefs’ wounds. “Simple and plain: They made plays, and we didn’t,” Chiefs cornerback Stanford Routt said. Jamaal Charles had 87 yards rushing, and Tony Moeaki had three catches for 37 yards, both pro-
viding a bright spot for Kansas City. The pair of them, along with safety Eric Berry, played their first regular-season games since tearing their left ACLs last season. They were a big reason why the Chiefs matched Atlanta most of the first half, trailing just 20-17 at the break. But a missed field goal by Ryan Succop early in the third quarter
proved to be the turning point, and Atlanta scored 20 unanswered points to put the game away. “We came out very quickly and strongly on offense,” Falcons coach Mike Smith said. “I think it took us awhile to get going on defense, but we made some good adjustments on the defensive side of the ball at halftime.”
Lead: Harp to be named new Busters A.D. Serena wins U.S. Open Continued from Page B1
Harp also has experience at South Plains College in Levelland, Texas, where he was assistant men’s basketball coach and academic counselor. That experience as coach has helped shape Harp’s idea of how to best serve as an administrator to help the coaches at a school. “I told the coaches, to a lady or to a man, I visited with them, I told them, ‘All I want you to do is worry about coaching your team and recruiting. As far as the budgets, give me some things that you think are some really wants, some really needs, that you want in your program, and let me worry about those. Let

The position became open on June 19, when the school announced former athletic director Bob Larson would become coordinator of athletic activities in a reorganization of the athletic department. Assistant Athletic Director and Sports Information Director Jake Ripple was given the role of assistant athletic director for student success. Swender said in June that the moves were made to enhance the program in general and play to the strengths of all department members. Harp was expected to begin his new duties effective today.
NEW YORK (AP) — Finally tested, even trailing, at the U.S. Open, Serena Williams turned things around just in time. Two points from defeat, Williams suddenly regained her composure and her strokes, coming back to win the last four games and beat Victoria Azarenka 6-2, 2-6, 7-5 on Sunday night for her fourth championship at Flushing Meadows and 15th Grand Slam title overall. “I honestly can’t believe I won. I really was preparing my runner-up speech, because I thought, ‘Man, she’s playing so great,”’ Williams said during the trophy presentation after the 2-hour, 18-minute match, adding: “I’m really shocked.”

Might be the only one. After all, what really was stunning was that the top-ranked Azarenka made things as interesting as they were, given that she came into the day 1-9 against Williams. Add in that Williams hadn’t dropped a set in the tournament, losing only 19 games through six matches before Sunday. All part of a tremendous run she is putting together in reaction to her loss at the French Open in late May.

Last-second FG dooms KU LAWRENCE (AP) — Trailing by two points with only a couple of minutes to go, Rice quarterback Taylor McHargue saw kicker Chris Boswell look him confidently in the eye and say, “Get me to the 45 with this wind and I’ve got it.” McHargue and his teammates did just that and Boswell delivered, booming a 45-yard field goal as the last second ticked off the clock and giving the Owls a stunning 25-24 victory over Kansas for one of their most thrilling road wins in years. It was the fourth 3-pointer of the game for Boswell, who the week before had set the school record with six career field goals of 50 yards or longer. “It still hasn’t really set in yet,” he said. “I’m sure it will set in when we are on the plane or something, but right now it doesn’t seem like it.” As the big crowd sat holding its breath, Kansas coach Charlie Weis called timeout. “I had an idea that they were going to ice me, but I was still going to kick it regardless,” Boswell said. Boswell also had kicks of 47, 29 and 29 yards for the Owls (1-1), who got into position for the winning score after Bryce Callahan’s interception of Dayne Crist’s pass with 3:47 to play. “My biggest disappointment is we didn’t finish,” said Weis. “Our whole motto for this week was about finishing games.” Weis refused to blame Crist for the interception or his special teams for the loss. While Boswell was going 4 for 4, Jayhawks kicker Ron Doherty was missing two of three field goal attempts, including one from medium range that struck the left upright. “There’s plenty of blame to go around,” Weis said. “We didn’t finish on offense. We didn’t finish on defense. We didn’t finish on special teams. When that happens, there’s a good chance you lose.” McHargue led a 93-yard drive late in the fourth period that ended when Charles Ross scored from the 2, making it 24-22 at the 4:47 mark.
Rory roars at BMW
CARMEL, Ind. (AP) — Rory McIlroy faced the strongest collection of contenders at any golf tournament this year Sunday at the BMW Championship. It was no contest. Even more disconcerting for everyone else, Boy Wonder was expecting to win all along. McIlroy fine-tuned his swing and missed only one fairway at soggy Crooked Stick, powering his way to a 5-under 67 to win his second straight FedEx Cup playoff event. They followed a record win at the PGA Championship, giving him three wins in his last four starts to establish himself as the dominant player in golf. He became the first player since Tiger Woods in 2009 to win in consecutive weeks on the PGA Tour, and with his sixth career tour win, he joined Woods and Jack Nicklaus as the only players to win that many at age 23. “The more you put yourself in this position, and the more you win and the more you pick up trophies, it becomes normal,” McIlroy said after his two-shot win over Phil Mickelson and Lee Westwood. “And it feels like this is what you’re supposed to do.” For the longest time, this was what Woods used to do. “I don’t think I’m quite there yet,” McIlroy said. “But I’m getting to that stage where I’m thinking, ‘This is what I should be doing. I should be lifting a trophy at the end of the week.’ It’s been great. The last four, five weeks have been incredible, some of the best golf that I’ve ever played. I’m going to try and keep the run going for as long as possible.” Never mind that Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh — Hall of Famers with 74 tour wins and seven majors between them — were one shot ahead. Or that Lee Westwood, a former world No. 1, was playing alongside.
Associated Press
Kansas quarterback Dayne Crist during the first half of Saturday’s college football game against Rice in Lawrence. On the two-point conversion attempt, McHargue’s pass to Luke Wilson was caught out of bounds. After Callahan’s second interception of the day, McHargue connected with Vance McDonald for 7 yards to the Kansas 40 on fourth down. Three plays later, McHargue ran 12 yards, making sure the stronglegged Boswell was in range to stun the Jayhawks (1-1). McHargue was 23 of 35 for 236 yards. Jordan Taylor had nine catches for 101 yards and Ross gained 94 yards on 14 carries for the Owls. “We obviously didn’t get the two-point conversion, but the defense got another huge stop,” said McHargue. “With the confidence we have in our defense and in our kicker, I don’t think there was any doubt that we could come back, and we capitalized on those opportunities.” After Boswell’s first 29-
yard field goal closed the halftime gap to 17-13, Crist hit three straight passes to set up Taylor Cox’s 8-yard touchdown run and give the Jayhawks a 24-13 lead. Tony Pierson had 120 yards rushing for the Jayhawks, while Crist was 16 of 28 for 144 yards and one TD. Boswell’s second 29-yarder sliced the lead to 24-16. Kansas’ first two scores came off first-quarter turnovers. Greg Brown intercepted McHargue’s pass at the Kansas 9 just three plays after the Owls had recovered a kickoff that Kansas muffed on its own 18, leading to Doherty’s 29-yard field goal. After another turnover, Crist immediately tossed a 23-yard touchdown pass to Jimmay Mundine. The Owls responded with an impressive 16-play, 94-yard march capped by Turner Peterson’s 1-yard run.

World Suicide Prevention Day raises awareness Dear Annie: Today, people throughout the world will be observing World Suicide Prevention Day, an annual event co-sponsored by the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the world. Approximately one million people worldwide die by suicide each year. This corresponds to one every 40 seconds. The number of lives lost each year through suicide exceeds the number of deaths due to homicide and war combined. These figures do not include suicide attempts, which may be up to 20 times the number of deaths. The economic costs associated with self-inflicted death or injuries are
estimated to be in the billions of dollars a year. The psychological and social impact of suicide on the family and community is staggering. There is good news, though. Organizations across the globe such as ours are making advances in suicide prevention research, understanding and outreach. Despite the complexity of this phenomenon, suicide can be prevented. There are many crisis centers throughout the world that offer support by phone, email, forums and chat. Suicide prevention organizations, locally and across the world, are joining IASP in encouraging people to “light a candle near a window at 8:00 p.m.” tonight for World Suicide Prevention Day to show support for suicide preven-

tion, to remember a lost loved one and for the survivors of suicide. Please ask your readers for their kind support in lighting a candle and, if they are in distress, to call a helpline or crisis center. This information can be found on our website at www.iasp.info. Thank you. — Lanny Berman, Ph.D., ABPP, President, International Association for Suicide Prevention Dear Dr. Berman: We appreciate the opportunity to tell our readers about World Suicide Prevention Day. We hope they will light a candle
near a window (although please not near flammable drapes or blinds) and remember those who have died. We also hope those in need will check your website. Dear Annie: I have been invited to the wedding of my co-worker’s daughter, whom I have never met. My co-worker has made it quite clear that he is expecting us to attend. At his first daughter’s wedding, he invited 20 co-workers and only one showed up. He was very upset. Am I obligated to attend his daughter’s wedding? — RSVP Dear RSVP: You are not obligated to attend, although you might want to weigh that choice against Monday’s reaction at the office. While we don’t care for co-workers who pres-
sure others to attend their personal events, consider whether he wants your presence or your presents. If you would feel more comfortable, send a small gift with your regrets. Dear Annie: I was in a similar situation as “In the Middle.” My grandmother also made me feel second best, and I often received gifts that were not age appropriate. Your suggestion that Mom stay out of it and let the now-adult granddaughter thank Grandma for any gifts and share what she chooses is sound advice. That is what my mother and I have been doing. I would like to mention another possibility. Perhaps the grandmother’s upbringing and culture could be playing a part in her behavior toward the granddaughter, since it did in my case. In some cul-
tures, the older generation is still having a difficult time making the transition from their traditional ideas. In realizing this, I have become more understanding about my grandmother’s behavior and react with more compassion. She’s trying her best. — Been There, Too Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Ablation treatment for atrial fibrillation Where’s the reward DEAR DR. DONOHUE: In November of 2010, I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. For one year, things were fine, but the atrial fib returned. After five months of hell and reactions to meds, I agreed to have ablation. I was told it was 80 percent effective; I’m in the 20 percent. Now the doctors recommend a repeat ablation. I hesitate, because I have gotten worse since the first procedure. Would you recommend a second try? — K.S. Atrial fibrillation is near the top of the list when it comes to heartbeat disturbances. It’s a rapid and erratic beat. The speed of the beat compromises heart pumping, and its irregularity sets the scene for a stroke. The upper heart chambers — the atria — are not contracting; they’re squirming. Blood stagnates in the atria and forms clots. Pieces of the clots can be swept into the circulation to the brain, where they cause a stroke. Sometimes, if a normal beat can’t be restored, slowing the fib restores adequate blood pumping, but the stroke threat remains. That’s the reason for putting people on the anticoagulant Coumadin. Catheter radiofrequency ablation is an attractive choice for restoration of a normal heartbeat. A thin,
flexible tube — a catheter — is inserted into a groin blood vessel and carefully advanced to the heart’s left atrium, where the irregular beat originates. The catheter is equipped to emit high-frequency current that ablates tissue responsible for fibrillation. “Ablation” means “destruction.” One ablation treatment restores a normal beat 80 percent of the time. You fell into the 20 percent group. A second attempt achieves success 90 percent of the time. With those odds, I would jump at the chance of a second go with ablation. The odds are greatly in your favor. If a normal beat is restored, you can stop taking medicines, with their potential for side effects. You also can stop taking the anticoagulant, since the stroke threat will have gone. The booklet on heartbeat irregularities explains what happens in atrial fibrillation and its treatment. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue — No. 107, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 328536475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 with the recipient’s printed name and address.
Please allow four weeks for delivery. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Enclosed is a notice for a book that promotes the idea of wheat being bad for the body, especially for osteoporosis. Everything I have read tells us to consume whole grains, including wheat. I have osteopenia and take Evista, vitamin D and calcium. I also exercise. Is this doctor’s advice sound? — M.P. I haven’t read the book, but I do know that it has become very popular. The author blames wheat for obesity and a long list of other illnesses. I don’t believe those charges. I am waiting to hear the response of nutrition experts. Furthermore, I don’t believe wheat is responsible for osteoporosis. Osteopenia is a stage between normal and osteoporosis. If I were you, I’d stick with your present osteopenia regimen. If you want to try the diet, do so. See if you lose weight. See if your osteopenia responds. I have doubts that either will happen. When one culprit is used to explain so many different health problems, I become quite skeptical,
particularly when that culprit has been part of the human diet for so long. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My 60-year-old daughter has Wegener’s granulomatosis. She was hospitalized for three weeks before they discovered the cause. It started with a sinus infection. I would like to know more about Wegener’s. — C.M. Wegener’s is a somewhat-rare disease in which blood vessels are inflamed and granuloma form. Granulomas are small mounds of heapedup dead cells. The process often starts in the nose, throat and sinuses. The lungs often are involved. In addition, the kidneys become inflamed. Its cause has yet to be discovered. Drugs that target the immune system are the ones most often prescribed. Prednisone and cyclophosphamide are two examples. Your daughter sounds like she’s on the road to recovery.

for customer loyalty?
Dear Heloise: Why is it that companies always give new customers the best deals? They have amazing promotions to lure new customers, which I understand, but what about the rest of us? What about those who have been loyal customers for years? We don’t get any special p ro m o t i o n s or deals. It doesn’t make us want to stick around when we get no consideration. I could easily jump ship to get a discount with another company, but I don’t. — A Frustrated Reader in Alabama How right you are! Take some time to compare those other “good” deals to see if it’s worth it to switch. Call your provider with that information in hand, and you may get that “good” deal. — Heloise
Do a jacket justice Dear Heloise: Please help! I have a highschool letter jacket of my
son’s. It is about 15 years old. The sleeves are vinyl and very sticky. I have tried several cleaners — oil soap, saddle soap, etc.! My 11-year-old grandson saw it and wants badly to wear it. Please help me preserve some wonderful memories. — Edie in Texas I’ll try! U n f o r t u n a t e l y, over time the vinyl coating can wear down, and the sleeves can get sticky or even brittle. Here is what I’d try: Ammonia is a grease/oil dissolver. Use 1 tablespoon sudsy ammonia (it has a little detergent in it) in 8 ounces water. Dip a microfiber cloth in the mixture, squeeze until damp and test in an inconspicuous spot (like the underarm area). Rinse with clear water and dry. If this does not work, your best bet is to take it to a professional cleaner, which may be able to remove the stickiness and restore the jacket. Check for cleaners that specialize in leather care. I hope your grandson treasures this little piece of history! — Heloise

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
On Patriot Day, Americans should fly their flags at half-staff and observe a moment of silence at 8:46 AM (Eastern Daylight Time) to honor those individuals who lost their lives as a result of the terrorist attacks. This marks the time that the first plane flew into the World Trade Center.
The attacks have greatly increased attention to national security in the United States. This has had huge implications for United States national and international politics. This is particularly true for the relationships between the United States and Islamic countries in the Middle East. Patriot Day was signed into law on December 18, 2001 as a day to remember those who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks on our country. This year will be the tenth anniversary of the tragedy.
On September 11, 2001, four planes were hijacked. The hijackers then deliberately flew three of the planes into two important buildings, the Pentagon in Washington DC and the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York. The fourth crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The loss of life and damage that these hijackings caused form the biggest act of terrorism ever on United States soil. Nearly 3000 people died in the attacks and the economic impact was immense.
Patriot Day is observed on September 11th.
