Beefing up the grill
GOP pushes tax plan through
BBQ Challenge one of Beef Empire Days’ newest events.
TOPEKA (AP) — Gov. Sam Brownback and other Republican leaders extol the tax plan they pushed through the Kansas Legislature as an engine for growth, but they had help from reluctant GOP lawmakers who merely saw it as more palatable than other options for fixing leftover budget problems. Legislators gave final approval Sunday to a bill that follows up on massive individual income tax cuts enacted last year. The measure cuts income tax rates again over the next five years. But those new rate reductions are tied to other, revenue-raising measures — including a provision setting the sales tax at 6.15 percent — to head off the projected budget shortfalls resulting from last year’s aggressive tax cutting. The mix of policies in this year’s bill is expected to generate a net gain in state revenues of $777 million over the next five years. Brownback and other supporters of the plan quickly noted that the new dollars raised still are dwarfed by last year’s tax cuts, worth $4.6 billion over the same period. They also said the next round of income tax rate reductions will position the state to phase out personal income taxes. “We’re starting to turn our state’s economy around,” Brownback said during a Statehouse news conference Saturday night before the voting. “It will be not only the best in the country to raise a family but also the best to grow a business, and

Drought still taking its toll By AMY BICKEL

ULYSESS — Even a snake needs water. Anthony Stevenson stopped his truck to point out the trail a bull snake left as it crossed a dusty dirt road sandwiched between two thirsty fields of wheat. But, he said, there is no water. It rarely rains — it hasn’t in months. With the ponds empty, streams dry and the pastures baked, the only water for a bull snake is underneath an irrigation center pivot, which appears to be running nonstop this time of year. Moreover, the only clouds the 49-year-old Grant County farmer has seen are made of dust, which roll across the surrounding fields and pile up like snow on the edges of his wheat field. “The only problem is, it doesn’t melt,” he said. It’s just one of the deep wounds on this swath of Kansas prairie where drought has raged for the past three years. Stevenson parked his pickup and stepped out into a nearby field of boottall, thin wheat. In Grant County, the June harvest is a month away and in a normal year, wheat would be about waist high, thick and green. Yet this isn’t a normal year, he said softly.

Rooney in business of educating about beef By ANGIE HAFLICH
ahaflich@gctelegram.com
For Carlie Rooney, who grew up around cattle and understands both the science and handling of the animals, being involved with Beef Empire Days is right up her alley. Not only does Rooney serve on the Beef Empire Days board, but she also judges the BED’s cattle working contest, belongs to the Southwest Cattlewomen’s Association, works in the industry and, along with her husband, owns her own cattle. In her first year on the Beef Empire Days board of directors, Rooney brought some ideas to the table that she hoped would get more people involved in Beef Empire Days. “My thought was, in the cattle industry, things are changing so much and not only because of the drought, but a lot of the cattle in the feedyards aren’t being fed by customers as much.
What’s Inside

Jeremy Hazen, Satanta, and Zach Lee, Garden City, decided on Thursday night to join the Battle of the Beef BBQ Challenge, held Saturday afternoon at the Finney County Fairgrounds parking lot. It wasn’t a lot of notice, and the two weren’t prepared, they said, but they competed anyway. The event, in its first year, is part of Garden City’s staple celebration of beef: Beef Empire Days. The two competed as “Our Meat, Your Mouth, Tasty” against eight other backyard teams. The competition also had two corporate teams. Hazen and Lee hadn’t participated in a barbecue challenge before. They said they had fun, but will do some things different next time. “We should probably have another grill. And more tin foil. And park next to helpful people again,” Hazen said. He said there wasn’t really a method to their madness. “We seasoned the meat by putting it in a bag and shaking it,” he said. “We’re just a bunch of amateurs,” Lee said. Janet Hands was one of the judges Saturday. She said most contestants did a great job. “Some (samples) have just been exceptional. Others have been interesting,” she said. Hands, other judges and organizers hope the event expands in the future. “I love it. I hope they continue it and it grows,” she said. Hands said the new Beef Empire Days events this year have been great. “It’s breathing new life in this event,” she said. The barbecue contestants were judged on appearance, tenderness

I would see my cattle in a feedyard, and I would follow them and be really involved, but with the market, and several factors play into it. But now, most of the cattle are owned by the feedyards,” Rooney said. “So we’re trying to change Beef Empire Days to kind of fit with what the cattle industry’s doing. And I think even with that BPI thing, we need to educate people more about beef, safe handling and more about what we actually do. We want people to know what feedyards do and how we really are taking care of animals, so we’re just opening our doors a little bit more and being more transparent because people are being farther removed from the farm.”
Rooney brought some ideas to the table that went along with the board’s goal of refocusing the event on education and promotion of beef. On Friday and Saturday, Rooney was chairwoman for two of the newlyadded Beef Empire Day events, the Backyard Barbecue and Girls at the Grill. “I loved it. I like to do stuff like this, and I’m glad we got to do some of these events. The board was very accepting of my ideas and very helpful. I’m excited, and I think these events did well for their first year, and they’re only going to grow. Next year should be a lot easier. I figure I got quite the initiation this year,” she said, laughing. Rooney has judged the Beef Empire Days Cattle Working Contest the past couple of years and said that all goes back to educating, as well. “It’s not necessarily who does it the fastest, but who does corSee Neighbors, Page A2

rect animal handling,� Rooney said. As a senior market development specialist at Gold Standard Labs, Rooney works with feedyards regularly to help educate them about Bovine Viral Diarrhea Persistently Infected (BVDPI) disease, a genetic disease that must be caught when calves are young, so as to prevent the disease from spreading. “Because of where I’m located, I work with a lot of feedyards. We would implement testing in different feedyards, and I would help them get the strategy that works. We obviously want to catch those sick animals because there’s not a cure for them. It’s kind of like sticking a kid with the flu in a classroom, you know. You have to get them out of there. There’s cattle that’s high risk for that (disease), and you can’t tell they have the disease by looking at them because they’re normally healthy, so I help the feedyards devise a plan that is kind of economical. We could test entire yards, but that would cost a lot, so we kind of pick out the places it would work best in each individual yard. So I do a lot of that, kind of the strategy part of it,� she said.

Three veteran storm chasers died doing what they loved: roaming the Great Plains in search of dangerous storms like the one in Oklahoma that ended their final pursuit. Tim Samaras, his son Paul and colleague Carl Young died Friday night when an EF3 tornado with winds up to 165 mph turned on them near El Reno, Okla. After years of sharing dramatic videos with television viewers and weather researchers, they died chasing a storm that killed 13 in Oklahoma City and its suburbs. “It’s something we’ve done countless times in the past and have done it successfully and safely,� said Tony Laubauch, who was working with Tim Samaras’ chase team Friday night. “And, you know, whatever happened on this one, it’s just horrible beyond words.� The men’s deaths in pursuit of the storm are believed to be the first among scientific researchers while chasing tornadoes, the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., said. “They put themselves in harm’s way so that they can educate the public about
the destructive power of these storms,� said Chris West, the undersheriff in Canadian County, where the men died. Tim Samaras, 54, of Bennett, Colo., had a reputation for being safe but was trapped on the highway with his son, Paul Samaras, 24, also of Bennett, and Young, 45, who taught geology at Lake Tahoe Community College in South Lake Tahoe, Calif. “I don’t know if I would say I worried about it because one of the biggest things he stressed was safety,� said Tim’s brother, Jim Samaras, who confirmed the deaths to The Associated Press. “He knew what to look for. He knew where not to be and in this case, the tornado took a clear turn toward them.� Tim Samaras and his Twistex tornado chase team produced material for the Discovery Channel, National Geographic and meteorological conferences.

“He looked at tornadoes not for the spotlight of TV but for the scientific aspect,� Jim Samaras said. “At the end of the day, he wanted to save lives and he gave the ultimate sacrifice for that.� The Oklahoma storm that killed the three chasers developed right in front to them. Tim Samaras tweeted a photo of clouds rising through a volatile atmosphere and noted: “Storms now initiating south of Watonga along triple point. Dangerous day ahead for OK — stay weather savvy!� It was his final tweet.

The company also educates feedyards about cattle working. “We do the BVPI testing, and we get all of the cattle working crews from the feedyard, and we kind of teach them the best way to handle cattle. We do beef quality assurance training with them also, just so if you know, if someone’s new to processing, they know the best animal handling skills,� Rooney said. Rooney ran track at Hutchinson Community College and then Kansas State University, where she majored in animal science and received her master’s degree in reproductive physiology. Cattle are in Rooney’s blood. She grew up in Syracuse, where her parents, Terryl and Ruth Spiker, farm. “My dad and my uncles and my grandpa have always had cattle and farms,� she said. “We had cattle, so we would work cattle with horses.

House defeats bill stalling school standards TOPEKA (AP) — Kansas House members rejected a measure late Saturday aimed at delaying or blocking new, multistate standards for math and reading in public schools. The House voted 58-55 to kill the measure hours after the bill cleared the Senate 24-12. The measure was likely dead for the year as legislators prepared to adjourn the 2013 session, which was in its 99th day. Supporters of the measure sought to create an 11-member legislative panel to review decisions by the State Board of Education on adopting and implementing any uniform education standards. The bill was aimed at Common Core standards developed by multiple states and adopted by the state board in 2010.
New event offers women tips on working the grill.
Critics of standards contend they endanger state control of education and will be costly. House Education Committee Chairwoman Kasha Kelley said grassroots opposition to the standards was growing across Kansas and the nation. “I assure you that parents are not going away and this is an issue at the ballot box,” said Kelley, an Arkansas City Republican. But supporters said the standards will improve student performance and that to hit the pause button on implementation undermines the authority of the 10-member elected state board. “We have a duty to voters who elected the board members. We should let the board do its job,” said Rep. Ed Bideau, a Chanute

ment to provide for the improvement of the system of education in Kansas, as well as writing the checks to carry out policy. “The Legislature does have a responsibility,” said Abrams, an Arkansas City Republican and former chairman of the State Board of Education. Abrams said he and other opponents of Common Core had heard concerns from constituents in recent weeks, prompting them to take action. “There’s nothing more important that the Legislature does than education,” he said. Legislators received an audit from staff in December that estimated the cost to implement Common Core at between $34 million and $63 million over the next five years.
Grill master

It’s a stereotype that most men man the grill while most women run the kitchen. But Alli Winter, known as Chef Alli, hopes to change that. Saturday afternoon at the Finney County Fairgrounds, as part of Beef Empire Days, Winter held a lecture called “Girls of the Grill.” Winter, who lives on a ranch with her family in northeast Kansas, shared quick, healthy recipes with a group of women and a few men. Winter taught the group about proper cooking utensils, cook times, temperatures and offered quick tips on taste and food preparation. Winter hopes more women man the grill. “But really, we let the men cook because they’re confident on the grill, and then we don’t have to, right?” she said. “It’s a night off.” Winter shared various recipes, including Rockin’ Moroccan Beef Kabobs, Mango Salsa T-bones, and Southwestern Chipotle Sloppy Joes. Winter talked a lot about food preparation. “Meat really needs its ‘beauty rest,’” she said. Winter recommended thawing meat and allowing it to sit at room temperature before putting it on the grill. Then, when the steak is cooked to preference, it should sit at room temperature so the meat gathers up the juices lost during cooking, she said. Winter talked about the importance of “sizzle” — a skillet or cook top or grill should be heated properly before placing food on it, she said. She said it’s important for food to get brown in color. “Brown is not a color. It’s a flavor,” she said. Winter talked about the 29 cuts of beef that are considered lean cuts. In order to cut some fat out of cooking, Winter recommends spraying skillets with nonstick spray, then adding broth instead of oils and butters for moisture. “Then, of course, you have to watch sodium,” she said. Winter recommends a few necessary kitchen items, including a sharp chef’s knife, a bamboo cutting board and a 12-inch cast iron skillet. She talked about the proper care of kitchen utensils, such

Winter also demonstrated a Vacu Vin, a vacuum-locked container that allows instant marination to happen by sucking the oxygen out of a container, leaving only the meat to soak up the marinade.
“This is the same as marinating for hours and hours. And it takes about two minutes,” she said. During the demonstration, organizers handed out samples of the recipes, along with beverages, recipe cards, beef information and tips and tricks for grilling. Winter quizzed audience members, while also taking questions.
Becky Jones, audience member, said the demonstration was informative. “It was really helpful. I learned how to cook a lot of new, healthy recipes,” Jones said. She said that the next time, she’ll call more friends to come along. “I would just tell people to be sure to come out to this event. It was very educational,” she said.
Kansas lawmakers fail to expand Kobach’s power TOPEKA (AP) — Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach failed to gain authority he’s sought since taking office to prosecute election fraud allegations when the state House rejected a bill containing the proposal Sunday. The House voted 64-45 against compromise legislation drafted by negotiators for it and the Senate, just before the pre-dawn end to lawmakers’ annual session except for a brief, formal adjournment ceremony later this month. Senators had approved the measure, 24-13. Kobach’s fellow Republicans have large majorities in each chamber. Both had approved similar versions of his proposal to expand the power of the secretary of state’s office, and their negotiators had settled their differences over increasing various penalties for election crimes. He
expected his proposal to pass. Yet the negotiators and Republican legislative leaders held up action on his proposal so that they could package it with other changes in criminal law. That’s common as lawmakers try to speed up approval of multiple measures as the end of the annual session nears. Negotiators tied Kobach’s plan to a technical change in laws dealing with the collection of DNA samples from criminal suspects, leading to a backlash from GOP conservatives who argued that taking such samples violates civil liberties. House Elections Committee Chairman Scott Schwab said GOP leaders also pushed Kobach’s luck by having the vote in the House after midnight Sunday — when the chamber already had approved tax and budget legislation and law-
makers were eager to leave the Statehouse. “It was bad timing for the bill,” said Schwab, who voted for the package. “That happens to somebody every year.” Kobach did not immediately return phone messages seeking comment Sunday afternoon. But he’s argued that allegations of election fraud often aren’t pursued aggressively by state and local prosecutors because they’ve got a heavy load of other cases, including violent crimes. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Jeff King, an Independence Republican and his chamber’s lead negotiator on the legislation, said the House’s rejection — and its margin — surprised him. But Kobach, a GOP conservative, also has been a polarizing political figure. He is a former law professor and nationally
known for advising officials in other states wanting to crack down on illegal immigration, helping draft tough laws in Arizona and Alabama. His push for photo ID and proof-of-citizenship rules for prospective voters brought him more national attention, and he even weighed in this year on gun rights proposals. Kobach’s critics contend that he’s overstated the potential for election abuses, with relatively few fraud prosecutions over the past decade and about 1.7 million registered voters in Kansas. Kobach argues that the state appears to have few cases because election irregularities aren’t pursued aggressively and has sought to expand the secretary of state’s authority in each of the Legislature’s past three annual sessions following his election victory in 2010.

Time for ‘Taxing Commission’ T
Bogus claims Kobach continues campaign of misleading information.
A
Kansas politician who’s built a career around an anti-immigrant crusade took time to visit one of the state’s more diverse communities. Secretary of State Kris Kobach was in Garden City last week, and participated in a panel addressing immigration and diversity. During the session at Garden City High School, the secretary of state who’s pushed anti-immigrant policies in Kansas and beyond rightly Should the nation pursue was schooled comprehensive immigraon reality surtion reform? Add your rounding the comments at the end of the issue. online version As usual, of this editorial at Kobach threw GCTelegram.com/opinion. out questionable statistics surrounding immigrants’ drain on society, employers’ supposed failures to properly screen workers, meatpacking plant wages and more. In trying to make his case, the lawyer relied on figures from a disputed Heritage Foundation study that criticized a plan in the U.S. Senate to overhaul the nation’s immigration laws. The study from the conservative think tank cited high economic costs in the Senate plan for comprehensive immigration reform. The problem is that one of two authors of the Heritage Foundation study recently resigned amid a racial scandal. Senior policy analyst Jason Richwine stepped down in the wake of reports of his claim in a graduate school dissertation that Hispanic immigrants were less intelligent than white Americans. Sadly, Kobach still would cite numbers from a study based on work from someone who embraced racist theories. It’s no wonder panelists in Garden City who know the reality in communities with significant immigrant populations easily poked holes in his case. For example, Allie Devine, former Kansas Secretary of Agriculture who now leads the Kansas Business Coalition, an advocacy group of business organizations and the state’s Chamber, said Kobach’s statistics were wrong, and pointed to a recent and more objective study as evidence. Kobach, however, apparently hasn’t been interested in the study from universities in Kansas and Missouri on the true economic impact of immigrants, and how southwest Kansas agribusiness in particular depends on immigrant labor. The exchange was more proof of Kobach ignoring the truth in his tired quest to pander to the anti-immigrant crowd. His fear-mongering and blatant attempts to mislead are indeed growing old, especially when reality matters most when it comes to reforming the nation’s immigration system.

Not how government should work I
t is appropriate that the worst scandal of the Obama administration — the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservatives — is a scandal of administrators and bureaucrats, of otherwise faceless people endowed with immense power over their fellow citizens and running free of serious oversight from elected officials. They are the shock troops of the vast bureaucratic apparatus of the federal government. President Barack Obama has greatly enhanced their influence and reach by augmenting the power of regulatory agencies that are an inherent offense against self-government, even when they aren’t enforcing the law in a biased way. The administration’s corruption isn’t bags of cash or lies about interns; it is the distortion of our form of government by sidestepping democratic procedures and accountability and vesting authority in bureaucrats. The administrative state is, fundamentally, the Lois Lerner state. In an excellent essay in the journal National Affairs, Chris DeMuth calls the regulatory agency “the most potent institutional innovation in American government since the Constitution.” He notes that the regulatory state has three hallmarks. One, Congress delegates lawmaking to the agencies by giving them massive discretion in implementing the vaguest of mandates. Two, there are no constraints on their effective spending power, since the costs of their rules “are borne almost entirely by the private sector.” Third, they enjoy “relative insulation from public debate and criticism.”
Needless to say, this is not how American government is supposed to work. “The Constitution was designed,” DeMuth writes, “to make lawmaking cumbersome, representative, and consensual; the regulatory agency was a workaround, designed to make lawmaking efficient, specialized, and purposeful. It was a way to accommodate growing demands for government intervention in the face of the constitutional bias for limited government.” The administrative state is an open invitation to highhandedness. Bloomberg View columnist Ramesh Ponnuru wrote a piece on Obama’s lawlessness. Most of the examples have to do with the administration ignoring or distorting the laws via the bureaucracy. Obamacare says that states have to set up exchanges before the subsidies and penalties in the law apply? No matter. The IRS says it will pay out subsidies and impose penalties regardless of whether states set up exchanges. We have immigration laws such that providing an amnesty for so-called DREAM kids would require a new statute? Not to worry. The president simply directed his agencies to ignore the laws. It shouldn’t be a surprise that the IRS scandal is organically connected to the president’s signature initiative, Obamacare. Sarah Hall Ingram had been commissioner of the tax-exempt
and government-entities division of the IRS, and now is in charge of the Obamacare office at the IRS. Looked at from one angle, Obamacare is less a health-care law than an expansion of the power of the IRS, which will need thousands of new positions to help administer the program. As a general matter, if there is a characteristic line in the major legislation in the Obama era, it is “the secretary shall ...” The secretary of Health and Human Services shall figure out how to make Obamacare work, and although they aren’t secretaries, the heads of an alphabet soup of financial agencies shall do the same for Dodd-Frank. Meanwhile, Congress works on the next sprawling enterprise it wants to hand over to the administrative state, the “Gang of Eight” immigration bill. Its architects want to do for immigration what Obamacare does for health care and Dodd-Frank does for the financial sector — invest an administrator (in this case the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security) with extraordinary discretion, and entrust a bureaucracy with an enormous task beyond its capacities (the orderly, rapid processing of 11 million illegal aliens). In Washington, the power of the administrative state always grows. It needs one, two, many Lois Lerners. The IRS official has already taken a fall, and may be headed for an even steeper one. But there are many more like her. They are indispensable to government by and for the regulators.

Transcending underlying politics L
ast Monday was Memorial Day, meant to honor those who lost their lives in combat, making the greatest sacrifice we know. We also ought to stop and take stock of the way we as a culture now do battle with the sentimentality of propaganda, refusing at our best to cheapen the weight of battle into slogans and decals. That is why films such as “Glory,” “Saving Private Ryan,” “Courage Under Fire” and “Miracle at St. Anna” are very important for putting the gore of combat at the center of what Martin Scorsese rightfully calls “our collective unconscious.” Facts are always more moving than fictional manipulation. This realized truth is very different from what many American boys and I dreamed about after World War II as we grew up in the 1950s. Back then, we were essentially duped by rousing and simple propaganda films on television every weekend. There was death in them, but little gore or disillusionment. We had no persistent notion of the horrors of war. There was not too much to discourage our cartoon sense of combat. The wish for a bazooka or machine gun to bring down the enemy in bunches remained in place. There were exceptions. “All Quiet on the Western Front” came on every so often. Those moving images brought silence to the household. On every frame, the combat seemed more real, more horrifying. In the wake of a viewing, the stories of men who had fought stung more.
COMMENTARY Stanley Crouch King Features Syndicate
Groups of veterans, friends of my mother’s second husband, gathered at our house to drink, reminisce and obsessively watch documentaries about battles on land, sea and in the air. They had been there, they remembered, and they grimly enjoyed seeing the record of their tribulations. Guffawing, they were always telling tales about what had gone down in the slush and mud of bloodshed. They remembered well the men who had lost fingers or limbs, and worse. Once upon a time, I enjoyed stories of the Civil War, but had no sense back then that Harriet Tubman was a flesh-and-blood “Harriet the Spy,” pretending to be a faithful slave while she gathered all the information she could for the North’s war effort. As the supreme leader of runaway slaves, she was unhappy because she could not join the charismatic lunatic John Brown on his bloody raid of Harpers Ferry, where his attempt to start a war against slavery was stopped by the forces of Robert E. Lee, who still fought as an officer in the United States Army. He switched sides to defend his beloved state of Virginia, but eventually had to face the strategic powers of Ulysses S. Grant, whom he dismissed as a failed tanner and a rumored drunk. In a little Pennsylvania town,
the North, under Maj. Gen. George Meade, put something on Lee that neither he nor his men would ever forget, many of whom became fetid breakfast, lunch and dinner for hogs. Perhaps what has most fascinated me about that defining American war was the doomed valor of the Confederate troops for the three days of slaughter at Gettysburg. While one could not very easily identify with those Southern troops, one had to acknowledge the unpleasant fact that on the human scales of life and death, they transcended the underlying politics in the way that warriors always do. In those moments when human fate is reduced to the double-edged sword of the quick and the dead, most stand up to doom and get the job done, however powerful the temptation to duck and hide out of the line of fire. That is what comes through in “Glory,” “Saving Private Ryan,” “Courage Under Fire,” “Miracle at St. Anna” and other popular narratives of war in our soberly blue time. Far more often than not, characters fight with and for each other. They represent what all of those white crosses represent at Arlington Cemetery. That is something beyond politics, beyond ethnicity, perhaps even beyond religion. It is recognition of what the optimism of birth itself almost always means, from the first breath: I want to live.

he Kansas Legislature, the vast majority of whom are of the same party (Republican), and the vast majority of whom are all of the same ideology (conservative), have found it very difficult to find any kind of common ground on taxes. Taxes of all things! Who could have predicted this? The legislature was supposed to be out of Topeka in 80 days. All was going to be “guns and roses.” And then, the taxing thing hit. The 2012 tax cut law was not as dynamic as advertised. The additional jobs, which were supposed to be created because entrepreneurs kept “their” money and invested it back in Kansas, did not produce any more jobs and it produced less tax revenue than would have been created in Kansas without it. And here’s the big reality; it will never do so. There are a couple of major reasons for this. Capital is fluid. In our global economy, capital will move to wherever the profits are greatest. We are a state of less than 3 million people in a global economy of more than 7 billion people. The calculus is straightforward. It’s usually about labor costs, not tax policy. If production can be done for more profit overseas, it will be. Ask Nike or Apple. However, when there are exceptions to this rule of thumb, location, location, location dominates, not taxation. Kansas does have some inherent advantages in the animal and natural resource extraction industries. Our location for these businesses helps us. Unfortunately, for most other industries, our location does not help. We have long winters, no beaches with ocean views and no mountain scenery; each of which can matter for where capital flows in the U.S. and the rest of the more developed world. Small business development is triggered in response to this flow of capital and the demands for goods and services that it creates. Tax policy has only a small impact. So where does this leave us as a state? We are attempting to implement a solution — elimination of income taxes — that has no chance of producing its advertised effect, producing jobs, population growth and tax revenue beyond what we would have experienced without it. Something tells me that this does not matter. Some of our duly elected leaders believe they are right and they are determined to implement their taxing vision. Given this reality, then we should at least reform our tax system the right way. First, we should recognize the nature of the problem. Eliminating income taxes will lead to a greater reliance on property and sales taxes, both of which are by design regressive. In the past, our tax system used the progressive income tax to balance this regressivity. If we eliminate the progressive income tax, the regressive nature of our sales and property tax systems will disproportionately punish the poorest among us and elderly on fixed incomes. This is cruel. Second, the sales tax can become more neutral if we apply it to the sales of all goods and services, exempting only groceries, physician services and prescription drugs. A similar story also applies to the property tax. It too will be less regressive if we expand its base to all forms of property. Both reforms will ensure that all citizens and businesses will share the tax load and best of all, the tax rates for both types of taxes will be lowered. Third, when faced with what seemed like daunting policy reforms, our Kansas ancestors brought together political friend and foe into commissions, working groups or task forces. They accessed expertise and melded together ideas to develop policies to make Kansas a better place. We need to follow the lead of our ancestors and create a “Taxing Commission” to properly reform our taxing system.

There was one rib that I really, really enjoyed. The seasoning was different,” he said. This was Gillen’s first time as a judge in a barbecue contest.
“I think this event is great. Over the years, I see it growing and increasing in the number of contestants,” he said. Paul Finch is an organizer of the event. “This is the first year for this event. We wanted to bring fun, new things to Beef Empire Days to draw more people out,” he said. Finch said a beef-only barbecue event is rare. “But it’s fitting for Beef Empire Days,” he said.
Like the contestants and judges, Finch hopes it grows in popularity. “I hope we can get this event to grow in the future,” he said. Finch said the activities Saturday at the fairgrounds drew a lot of people. “We had this event, and the Ranch Rodeo and then the music tonight. It’s a great day of Beef Empire Days activities for all ages,” he said.

that’s what we’re after.” Brownback promised to sign the measure, having endorsed it publicly. He called it a “fabulous package,” and his news conference featured Senate President Susan Wagle of Wichita and House Speaker Ray Merrick of Stilwell. The plan emerged from private negotiations involving Brownback, the two top Republicans and other key GOP lawmakers. The state’s sales tax is now 6.3 percent. But it had been scheduled to drop to 5.7 percent in July under a 2010 law that temporarily boosted the tax to balance the budget before Brownback took office. GOP legislators have agreed that phasing out personal income taxes will boost the state’s economy, but they disagreed strongly over canceling part or all of the scheduled sales tax decrease. Their impasse stretched the Republicandominated Legislature’s annual session to 99 days, when the state constitution specifies 90. It also delayed final action on
How they voted Here’s how southwest Kansas legislators voted: House Yes: Stephen Alford, R-Ulysses; John Doll, RGarden City; John Ewy, RJetmore; Don Hineman, R-Dighton; Russ Jennings, R-Lakin; Ronald Ryckman, R-Meade. Senate Yes: Larry Powell, RGarden City; Garrett Love, R-Montezuma. DNV: Mitch Holmes, R-St. John state budgets of more than $14 billion for each of the next two fiscal years beginning in July. The House approved the tax plan, 69-45, just after midnight Sunday and shortly after the Senate passed it, 24-13. House members acted first on the budget legislation, approving it 63-51, and the senators followed early Sunday, passing it 21-15. The Kansas Republican Party called passage of
the tax plan and budget legislation “groundbreaking” in a post-session statement. As expected, none of the votes in either chamber for the tax plan or the budget legislation came from Democrats. Their leaders were not involved in the tax negotiations. Democrats oppose shifting the burden of funding state government mostly to the sales tax, arguing that poor and middle-class families tend to pay a higher percentage of their incomes to the tax than wealthy ones. They argued that last year’s income tax cuts should be at least partially reversed to close projected budget shortfalls and said budget gaps will still appear after five years because of the next round of reductions in income tax rates. “We will regret this for years to come,” said Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat. House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat, called the tax plan “a Band-Aid proposal that further hurts the middle class.”

A double whammy Droughts have come and gone in Kansas — especially in this seemingly arid southwestern corner of the state. In the 1930s, drought and winds created rolling walls of dust that spread across the Great Plains, causing nearly a quarter of southwest Kansas’ population to leave, according to the book “Rooted in Dust: Surviving Drought and Depression in Southwest Kansas.” Now, the same area that was the epicenter of the Dirty Thirties is the heart of this 21-century drought, said Mark Svoboda, a climatologist with the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska. This western swath of Kansas, in fact, is a far different picture than that of the eastern half of Kansas where, after two years of drought, a dramatic weather turnaround has brought snow and rain and bolstered prospects for a bumper wheat harvest. In southwest Kansas, where on a normal year only 18 inches of rain falls compared to the more than 30 inches in the east, such a turnaround is tougher. This area, Svoboda said, has dug itself so far into drought that it will have a hard time climbing out. All of western Kansas remains in an extreme to exceptional drought — the highest rankings issued by the U.S. Drought Monitor. The worst areas stretch across the Oklahoma Panhandle into Texas, as well as parts of Colorado and Nebraska. “It’s not a quick fix or an overnight fix,” Svoboda said of western Kansas’ situation. “The drought impacts have become very accumulative.” The effects of the extended dry spell have left definite scars on the southwest Kansas prairie. The wheat crop is vanishing with each day of no rain. Pasture grasses continue to decline because of the lack of moisture. With little grass or feed, ranchers are culling deeper into their herds. Moreover, there is no subsoil moisture to sustain much of anything for very long, said John Holman, a Kansas State Research and Extension agronomist in southwest Kansas.

Pain on Main Street Far beyond the dusty wheat fields and parched pastures, the drought impact is felt in small towns like Ulysses. Ulysses, population 6,300, was born twice, first in 1885 and a second time in 1909 when, to escape the banker, the entire town loaded up and moved a few miles to the west. The city was part of the lengthy battle for the county seat of Grant County, which included Ulysses leaders buying votes. But despite winning the victory, the town began to struggle as pioneers discovered the land was difficult to farm in such a semiarid terrain — especially without the advent of irrigation. Drought hit in the 1890s and caused population to wane. Soon, the town couldn’t pay its bonds. Thus, town leaders moved the town west in 1909 and left the indebtedness behind. A century later and new Ulysses has weathered through the Great Depression, as well as drought years in the 1950s.
Like each drought period, the effects ripple across the business community, said Larry Altis, who manages the local Ace Hardware. “When you are in a farming community and the crops don’t produce, you tighten your belt,” he said. “Last year we thought we had a good corn crop but there were no kernels in the heads. Now we have the death of our wheat crop, and the water table is getting tighter. In rural communities like Ulysses where agriculture is the economy’s backbone, you feel the farmer’s pain, he said. “We can only hope and pray every day that we see a cloud and hope it will drop,” Altis said. “If the farmer isn’t doing good, then others aren’t doing good. Farmers aren’t out repairing, buying if they don’t have a crop to pay for it.” Two years of little rainfall already has cost the state’s farmers nearly $5 billion in crop losses — the loss of production and the price farmers would have received. Meanwhile, claims for this year’s failed crops are beginning to accumulate in the Risk Management Agency’s Topeka office. Kansas farmers have claimed $33.5 million in indemnities so far this year for crop losses on 9.4 million acres, according to the agency. Wheat makes up the largest share of those claims, at more than $31 million. Now farmers are grappling with the realization it more than likely will be another dry year and disappointing wheat harvest, said Ken Jameson, the grain division vice president with Garden City Co-op, which has 19 elevator locations across southwest Kansas. Industry officials toured the state’s wheat fields in early May. In southwest Kansas, experts estimated a majority of the fields in the single digits, with many not good enough to even be harvested. “If you believe the crop tour and the USDA, we’re going to have 52 percent of last year’s crop,” Jameson said. “And last year’s crop was only 60 percent of an average crop.”

followed by at least four nights of lengthy freezes, and his entire June paycheck is nearly spent. As much of the eastern part of Kansas is finally getting relief from the multiyear drought, this corner of southwest Kansas can’t buy a rain, it seems. Ulysses, the county seat of Grant County, has only received 2 inches of moisture in the past five months — not enough to save the wheat crop and hardly a drop in the bucket of its normal 18 inches for the year. Stevenson tries to stay upbeat, but admits this situation is becoming wearisome. There just won’t be much of a wheat harvest for the third straight year. And this wheat harvest will be far worse than the other two with almost all his dryland and irrigated wheat fields destroyed by drought and freeze. “My dad would always say it will rain when you really, really need it,” he said. “But I really, really needed a rain for a long, long time.”
“There were a few places that had rain this spring but for the large part, the little lakes and ponds are dry,” he said. “The pastures are brown — the pastures look like August.” This year’s wheat harvest could be one of the worst harvests for the region in at least 25 years, Holman said. Stevenson estimates his dryland crop at less than 10 bushels an acre. However, this year he has had a double disaster, he said. Typically, he can count on his irrigated wheat crop to do well, and in the last two years, irrigated ground has bested 60 bushels an acre. This year he said he would be surprised if it made more than 18 bushels an acre after the multiple days of below freezing temperatures in April. One night lingered in the teens with a wind chill of zero. “This year’s weather has totally wiped out most of my wheat,” he said. “But there’s nothing I could do about it. Nothing.”

our bedroom. Since then, we have slowly rebuilt trust to the point where we date, cuddle and even sleep in the same bed. We share our lives and regularly see a couples therapist. She tells me she can see how I’ve changed, and that she admires the work I’ve done. Despite all of this, however, she has repeatedly said that she does not believe she will ever be willing to have sex with me again. She refuses to discuss the matter, even in therapy. She sees a therapist on her own, but says that working on becoming intimate with me is not a priority. I would like to keep our family together, but I don’t

know how I can continue in a relationship where sex isn’t even allowed to be discussed. Can people have a healthy relationship without sex? It feels like our relationship is incomplete. What can I do? — Loveless and Discouraged Dear Loveless: Married couples can have a good relationship without sex, but only if both partners agree to it. We commend you for doing the nec-
essary work to salvage your marriage. Unfortunately, your wife still may not trust you entirely, or she may simply be uninterested in intimacy. She also may feel that she put up with your philandering for 20 years, so you should give her however much time she needs. There has, in fact, been progress, albeit more slowly than you’d like. Intimacy and communication are things you should be working on in couples therapy. Please bring both of these issues up at your next session. Dear Annie: I’m a 13year-old girl. Last night, my mom and I decided to watch a movie together at home.
My mom was tired from a long, stressful week worrying about my sick uncle. She fell asleep toward the beginning of the movie. I am just wondering if there is a proper etiquette about falling asleep during a movie. — Sleepy in Indiana Dear Sleepy: Some things can’t be helped. It’s perfectly OK to fall asleep during a movie, provided the snoring doesn’t disturb your companion. We’re sure Mom would have enjoyed staying up with you had she been able. Since she fell asleep so early in the film, you could have watched it alone or turned it off, tucked her in and watched
it another time when she was more fully awake. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Begging for Mummy and Daddy.” My daughter started using drugs as a teenager. She got sober for quite a few years, and then she lost it again. At 29, she passed away from a heroin overdose, leaving behind two children, 3 and 9. Please, parents, support your children, brothers, sisters and grandchildren any way you can while they battle this addiction. This is an epidemic in our country. We live in a small town of 2,400 people, and it still reached us. — Raising Grandchildren in Wisconsin
Strange tightening may not be stroke
Reader frustrated over design of spray bottles
DEAR DR. ROACH: My question is different from any I have ever seen. About 15 years ago, I suddenly felt a strange tightening, like a tourniquet, simultaneously in both biceps. It caused a faint tingling sensation in my arms and at the base of my skull, and a generally weak feeling. I was writing a note when this occurred and was barely able to push the pencil. There was no dizziness and no impairment of vision. I took an Excedrin and sat down, and the feeling was gone within a few minutes. In the next several months of that year, the sensation repeated with less severity and ceased entirely, until this year. During the past two months, it has recurred several times, last-
Dear Readers: Here is this week’s sound off about spray bottles: “It seems I have problems with some spray bottles. The strawlike tube is right at the bottom of the bottle. It is a tight fit, and the last ounce cannot come up because of the way the tube is bent. I also find this in spray-perfume bottles. Perfume is expensive, and it makes me unhappy when I can’t use all of it. Why do they make spray bottles that you can’t get all the product out of ? — A Reader in Ohio” Your guess is as good as anyone’s! This can be frustrating, as well as wasteful. Here is a Heloise hint: If the tube is a little too long, just snip a tiny

I am now 85 and am still active, with no major health issues. — A. Tingling and weakness are signs of damage to the nerves. This can happen anywhere from the brain, through the spinal cord, down the peripheral nerves, to the nerve
endings in the skin. Sudden onset of intermittent weakness and tingling in an 85-year-old is worrisome for a transient ischemic attack, which is similar to a stroke except that it goes awa. What is especially puzzling about your story is that the sensation is always on both sides, which essentially rules out a TIA. The nerves in the spinal column can be pressed on by arthritis conditions in the spine, and it is possible that this exists symmetrically. Since the symptoms are in your arms, this would have to be cervical spinal stenosis. Talk to your doctor or a neurologist, as a careful history and exam may give the answer.

Fast facts Dear Readers: Other uses for binder clips: • Use as bookmarks. • Keep a tube of toothpaste rolled up. • Hold a beach towel in place on a chair.

Baking soda Dear Heloise: Love your hint that says to use baking soda as a carpet freshener. I took an empty Parmesan-cheese container, washed and dried it, then filled it with baking soda. The holes in the top make it easy to sprinkle out onto the carpet. Any large spice bottle with holes in the top will work. — A Reader, via email This is a classic Heloise hint that saves money and makes housework just a little easier.

Monday April 22, 2013 HAPPY BIRTHDAY The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH An idea might seem nearly magical in the way that it just pops into your head. You have been doing a lot of processing lately. Let go of a need to be so rigid, and go with the flow. The challenge will be to stay appropriate while honoring your uniqueness. Tonight: As you like. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might not agree, but the smart move is to say little and remain focused on what you want. Everyone has his or her special uniqueness, as do you. Accept this fact. The end results could be dynamic. Tonight: Play it low-key. Curl up with a good book or relax to a movie. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You know exactly what you want, and you refuse to be distracted. Someone you work with could inspire you to keep going toward a special goal. Sometimes you are very hard on yourself and question your abilities. Stop that! Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s weekend. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might want to rethink a situation. Try to be more careful when making choices. A boss could be observing far more than you realize. Understand what is happening within a special friendship, and know that you might need to delay a chat. Tonight: On top of your game. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Your ability to identify with others will emerge, though you could feel conflicted in some way. Stop and consider why this is before you make any decisions. Check in with someone in the know who can give you some good advice. Tonight: In the thick of things. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You might want to take another look at a recent decision you’ve made. Your actions can, and likely will, have an impact. You might want to open up a discussion if you not done so yet. You might be surprised by what the other person shares. Tonight:
DAY IN THE STARS
BIZARRO
Jacquelline Bigar King Features
Say “yes” to an enticing offer. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Evaluate what is going on within you. Your sense of humor emerges, which allows greater giveand-take with a personal matter. Defer to a partner or an associate who often demands the lead. Right now, there might be little choice. Tonight: Follow someone else’s lead. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Think in terms of personal gain. Lighten up, and the flow of a conversation or interaction will be much smoother as a result. A loved one might be aching to have an important conversation with you; make time for this person. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to reach out to a child or potential new friend. This person will appreciate your overture. Realize what is happening with a family member, as he or she might be holding back or trying to hide something. Plan a visit in the near future. Tonight: In the moment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Deal with a domestic issue directly. You could have a bad case of the blues. Your sensitivity will come forward in a conversation. You seem to know what is happening before it occurs. Follow your intuition about a personal matter, and you will be OK. Tonight: Head home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You’ll need to ask a lot of questions in order to determine how much of a risk something is. You might need to let this one go. Your serious demeanor could throw someone off in a conversation. Acknowledge what is going on. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH To others you might seem so vague, yet to you, you are as a clear as a bell. What you can tolerate as far as specifics is much different than others. Verify a financial offer and make sure it is to your liking. Otherwise, let it go. Tonight: Run errands on the way home.

Ohioan, Californian top AJGA qualifiers at Dunes Royals’ By BRETT MARSHALL
bmarshall@gctelegram.com
Daniel Wetterich arrived in Garden City for the American Junior Golf Associations’s Kansas Junior with the goal of playing a steady schedule of summer junior golf after a highly successful fall season at LaSalle High School in Cincinnati. Kaitleen Shee came from the opposite side of the country, Diamond Bar, Calif., to participate in her first AJGA event of 2013 at Buffalo Dunes Golf Course. The two players took qualifying round honors on Sunday at the Dunes, with Wetterich firing a stellar 2-under-par 70 (36-34) on the 6,734-yard layout to earn the medalist honor for the boys, while Shee put together a steady round of 76 on nines of 38-36 to capture the top spot in the girls division. Shee said she didn’t know what to expect on her first trip to western Kansas, but was
pleasantly surprised by the quality of the golf course. “It was really windy, and the course is kind of hilly,” she said afterward. “I had some trouble because of the greens, but it’s in good condition and I really like it.” Shee said her early struggles came with pushing her shots to the right. “But I found my way back, and it’s a confidence builder,” Shee said. For Wetterich, who started his round on the No. 3 hole in the shotgun format, his lone bogey came on his opening hole. “I made bogey there, but overall I played consistent,” said the 16-year-old junior-to-be. “There was water on the right, and I wanted to make sure I didn’t go there.” On the tight Dunes layout, Wetterich said, the driver was likely his best club in the bag on Sunday. “Just hitting it in the fairway, trying to stay away from trouble,” said Wetterich, who was
Ohio’s prep player of the year in the state’s Division I level. “I’m just looking for a good start to the summer, and this does give me a lot of confidence. It’s a really nice course, but the rough is really thick.” Garden City’s Abbi Shaddix and Abbey Campbell, two of the standouts last fall for the Garden City High School girls team, each came in with 8-over-par 80s to finish tied for fourth with Abbie Grevlos of Sioux Falls, S.D. Samantha Barker of Highlands Ranch, Colo., and Divya Manthena of Camarillo, Calif., each shot 79 to share runner-up honors. Shaddix will be in Tuesday’s event while Campbell and Grevlos both opted out of the championship despite having qualifying scores on Sunday. On the boys side, local golfers struggled as Taylor Larsen finished with an 84 and Austin Swender a 91. There were 61 players vying for six spots in the boys division and 17 girls for 1 spot.
Golf’s young leaders

The American Junior Golf Association is conducting the AJGA Kansas Junior Tuesday through Thursday at Buffalo Dunes Golf Course. The three staff in charge of the event are, left to right, Scott Geary, Sarah Butler and Matt Hanlon.
AJGA staff takes lead at Kansas Junior event at Buffalo Dunes. By BRETT MARSHALL
bmarshall@gctelegram.com
Since its inception in 1978, the American Junior Golf Association’s primary purpose has been to provide competitive golf tournaments and scholarship opportunities for junior boys and girls golfers. The success has been nothing short of phenomenal over the past 35 years, and by providing lifechanging opportunities for the golfers, the AJGA also has provided professional work opportunities for young men and women. Scott Geary, Sarah
Butler and Matt Hanlon are prime examples of that youth movement of full-time staff employed by the AJGA, and that trio are the team leaders for this week’s AJGA Kansas Junior, which got under way on Sunday with an 18-hole qualifier for the 54-hole championship, which tees off at 7:15 a.m. Tuesday with an expected field of 96 players. Geary, 25, is a native of Baraboo, Wis., a town with a population of about 12,000 (2010 census), located in central Wisconsin, about an hour’s drive north and west of Madison. He attended the University of Wisconsin-Lacrosse and earned a degree in sports management and economics. He spent the summer of 2011 as an intern with the AJGA and has been a full-time tournament man-
ager since January 2012. One day, Geary hopes to be a regional director for the AJGA, with longer range goals of being a chief business officer for an organization or an executive director of a state or regional golf association. Butler, 29, hails from the tiny town of Roseau, Minn., population 2,600, which sits just 10 miles south of the Canadian border. She played collegiately at the University of Minnesota and was a 2006 graduate of the Lady Golden Gophers golf program. Like Geary, she found her way to the AJGA via a summer internship in 2011. One of her Gopher teammates had done an internship with the organization while in school, and Butler found a similar opportunity that summer after giving the profes-
sional mini-tours a try for three years before heading back to Minnesota. The summer internship then was parlayed into her current full-time position, also as tournament manager. She, like Geary, started in January of 2012. She earned a degree in communications studies from Minnesota and someday hopes to be a Division I college coach. Hanlon, 22, is a communications assistant and is the newest addition to this AJGA team, having joined around April 1. A California native, Hanlon calls Petaluma, Calif., home. It is located a little more than an hour north of San Francisco in California’s noted wine country. Like his two colleagues, Hanlon’s journey to the AJGA was circuitous. His sister, who was
attending Fresno State (Calif.), sent him an email and told him that it was his dream job. He was nearing completion of his degree in journalism and business at the University of Oregon. Now, his dream job is being realized and he, like Geary and Butler, are making their maiden ventures into western Kansas for the AJGA event. For this week at Buffalo Dunes, Geary will be the staffer behind the scenes, a role he enjoys. “You’re not gonna see a whole lot of me,” Geary said during a weekend interview. “It’s a lot of administrative duties, and I’ll be trying to keep things moving. We just try to make sure we’ve got our rules officials, our pace of See AJGA, Page A12
struggles continue
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Jurickson Profar hit a tiebreaking home run with two outs in the eighth inning Sunday, lifting the Texas Rangers over the Kansas City Royals 3-1. Texas starter Yu Darvish pitched seven shutout innings and left with a 1-0 lead. The 20-year-old Profar connected off J.C. Gutierrez (0-1) for his second homer, a solo shot that put Texas ahead 21. David Murphy added an RBI single later in the inning. Tanner Scheppers (4-0) got two outs in the eighth and Joe Nathan pitched a perfect ninth for his 17th save in 18 chances. Darvish allowed three hits, walked two and struck out six. Alex Gordon doubled in the Kansas City eighth and scored on a grounder to make it 1-all. The Rangers only had three singles coming into the eighth. A smiling Profar, called up from the minors on May 19, was enveloped by teammates when he ran into the dugout. Manager Ron Washington grabbed the rookie’s batting helmet off his head. Rangers center fielder Craig Gentry threw out Billy Butler at home trying to score early as firstplace Texas won for the third time in four games. The Rangers were without All-Star third baseman Adrian Beltre, who didn’t play because of a strained left hamstring. Washington said Beltre may be back in the lineup for Tuesday night’s game against the Boston Red Sox. Kansas City starter Ervin Santana allowed an unearned run and three singles in seven innings. The right-hander had lost his last four starts coming in. The Royals haven’t scored more than four runs in a game since May 21 and have lost 10 of 12. Kansas City, which brought on Hall of Famer George Brett as interim hitting coach Thursday, scored only seven runs in dropping two of three to Texas. Santana didn’t allow a hit until Nelson Cruz singled with one out in the fourth. Gordon, who snapped an 0-for-14 rut earlier in the game, led off the eighth with a brokenbat double against Neal Cotts. Alcides Escobar had a sacrifice bunt that moved Gordon to third.
Federer rallies to beat Simon at French Open PARIS (AP) — Chasing a shot, Roger Federer caught his right shoe in the French Open’s red clay, twisting that foot awkwardly and tumbling to the ground. Soon enough, he was in a real rut, in danger of his earliest exit from a Grand Slam tournament in nine years. Federer regrouped and restored order eventually, coming back from a two-sets-to-one deficit to beat 15th-seeded Gilles Simon of France 6-1, 4-6, 2-6, 6-2, 6-3 Sunday in the fourth round to reach his 36th consecutive major quarterfinal. “I didn’t hurt myself or anything,” Federer said. “But maybe I did lose that touch of confidence for a little bit, and then I was out of the match there for a bit.” During a rare stretch of mid-match mediocrity from the owner of a record 17 Grand Slam championships — the 2009 French Open trophy is part of his collection — Federer lost 10 of 13 games, including the one in which he fell. “I didn’t give him time,” said Simon, a one-time Grand Slam quarterfinalist. “I managed to start moving him around a bit.”
But Simon, a former member of the top 10, could not keep Federer down. Able to “tidy up my play,” as he put it, Federer went from hitting more than twice as many unforced errors as Simon in the second and third sets, 25-12, to generating more than twice as many winners in the third and fourth, 29-14. “When things turn nasty,” Simon said, “he responds well.” Federer said the match will give him “a lot of info” heading into his quarterfinal against another Frenchman, No. 6-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Federer’s turnaround was not the biggest of the day. Not even close. That distinction belonged to 32nd-seeded Tommy Robredo of Spain, who is specializing in comebacks: He is the first man in 86 years to win three Grand Slam matches in a row after dropping the first two sets (France’s Henri Cochet pulled that off at Wimbledon in 1927). Robredo did it in the second round Wednesday. He did it in the third round Friday. And then he did it in the fourth round Sunday, defeating No. 11 Nicolas Almagro 6-7 (5), 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. Robredo trailed 4-1 in the third set, 4-2
in the fourth and 2-0 in the fifth. “Nobody dreams of doing such things,” said Robredo, who dropped to his knees, leaned forward and wept after winning. Robredo’s first French Open quarterfinal since 2009 — he missed the tournament in 2011 and 2012 because of left leg problems that required surgery — will be against another Spaniard, No. 4 David Ferrer, who eliminated No. 23 Kevin Anderson of South Africa 6-3, 6-1, 6-1. Tsonga, the 2008 Australian Open runner-up, got past Viktor Troicki 6-3, 6-3, 6-3. Tsonga is 3-9 against Federer, but he did come back from a two-set hole to win their 2011 Wimbledon quarterfinal. “I know he can beat me, and he knows he can beat me,” Federer said. “But I’m going to make sure that doesn’t happen.” So far, all of the top three men in the tournament — No. 1 Novak Djokovic, No. 2 Federer and No. 3 Rafael Nadal, the seven-time champion — have had issues. Nadal lost a set in each of his first two matches; Djokovic needed his upper right arm treated by a trainer Saturday.

The Cryptoquip is a substitution cipher in which one letter stands for another. If you think that X equals O, it will be O throughout the puzzle. Single letters, short words and words using any apostrophe give you clues to locating vowels.
Nonslip Mats: Most injuries occur while getting in & out of the shower/bathtub. Having a nonslip mat in the shower/tub and a plush mat on the outside can help decrease slipping while getting in/out.

AJGA: Young leaders help young golfers Continued from Page A10
play folks in the right places. It’s important for us to interact with the players, parents and volunteers.� For Butler, she will be the public face of the staff this week, and the outgoing smile beams when talking about working on the golf course. “This week I’m mostly in charge of the golf course,� Butler said. “It’s the operations, working with the interns, making sure everything is in place. You’ve got signage, setting the tees, the hole locations, just anything to do that’s outside. It’s definitely the fun part for me.� Hanlon will oversee local publicity, as well as ensuring that scores and statistics are compiled and then uploaded to the AJGA website and sent nationally to different media outlets, as well as to AJGA members. “My sister told me that it looked like a pretty cool gig,� Hanlon said. “It’s been awesome. It’s been cool. Coming into it, I knew a little about the AJGA. But I think there was some underestimating the professionalism, the amount of work that goes into each of these tournaments. It’s a really cool experience to work with cool kids.� All three acknowledge that the amount of time on the road might be a downside to the job, but each of them relish the opportunity to see different and new geographic areas of the United States. “This is my 15th day (on the road), and I will have 28 in a row before I go home,� Geary said. “I’m headed to Missouri, home to Atlanta for a couple of days and then off to California.� He will also have tour-
naments to conduct in his home state of Wisconsin, Ohio and then a return trip to the west coast (Calif.) before concluding his summer schedule in New Jersey. “To be honest, I hadn’t flown on a plane until right before I turned 21,� Geary said with a laugh. “Now I’m 25, and my parents can’t believe all the places I’ve gotten to go. That’s the allure to it. Travel and you see a lot of different places. It’s the perfect time to do that out of college. You get to see the country before you decide to settle down somewhere.� Butler echoes her colleague’s sentiments about what the AJGA experience provides to a young person out looking to find themselves in the working world. “It’s everything that I hoped it would be, both personally and professionally� Butler said. “The environment we have with the company, the traveling to places that I would never come to typically. It’s blown me away. To be around the game I love, the people I enjoy working with. It’s a pretty good fit.� This year, Butler’s schedule will see her traveling to Florida, New York, Maryland, Missouri and Oregon, before heading back to the home office northeast of Atlanta in mid-August. “The fall is sweet and precious time,� Butler said of the work load during the crazy months of May through August. “You can rest, relish in the year that you’ve had. You can look back and see everything that you’ve done. You work
hard for a long time, but you get rewarded, too.� Hanlon is enjoying the multiple components of the media in today’s exploding technology world. Photography, video, social media, press releases, interviews with players — it all goes into a typical day for Hanlon and his supporting interns. “One of the big things that the AJGA does that other associations don’t have the ability to do is produce the amount of media that we do,� Hanlon said. “We’ve got statistics for players, for coaches. There’s graphic design, and we slam the social media with all the cool stuff. That’s the fun aspect of the communications role. AJGA’s real young, and the clientele is young. It helps us to interact with kids a lot.� Hanlon’s travel guide already has sent him to Texas, Illinois and Michigan, and upcoming trips include Louisiana, South Carolina and several other states. The trip to western Kansas has its own distinct feel. “There’s a lot of places I wouldn’t have planned to go,� Hanlon said. “Everywhere you go, people work so hard to put on these events. People are very appreciative.� None of the three played on the AJGA Tour when they were teenagers. Geary was a baseball player, including during his college days at WisconsinLacrosse. He did play high school golf. There were no AJGA events for Butler, since she came from the remote northern region of Minnesota. Hanlon, though, did play some in the First
Tee Program, an initiative of many national golf groups. The three staffers arrived in Garden City via American Eagle, coming from Atlanta through Dallas. Their escort to the golf course, Dunes professional Cole Wasinger, certainly made an initial impression on the group. “From the ride from the airport, you’re wondering when Garden City was going to show its face,� Geary said with a smile. “Then you see an abundance of trees, and it’s just lush. It’s in fantastic condition. I think it will be a tough test. Players will need to shape shots, and they will need an arsenal of shots. You might have the wind blowing one way in the morning and the other in the afternoon.� Butler shared Geary’s thoughts on her first venture into western Kansas. “Flying into small airports, I’ve seen that,� Butler said. “It was pretty bare getting off the airplane. Walking into the terminal, I was blown away, it was so windy that it literally almost blew me away. The sandhill area is very distinct. I haven’t seen anything like it. I was expecting flatand, then you see these dunes, the rolling hills. It’s beautiful. It’s not anything like what I thought at all.� The group takes pride in what they are doing in trying to run the tournament as professionally as possible. “The AJGA has a great reputation everywhere we go,� Geary said. “It’s up to us to maintain that reputation. We work hard. We try to have a good time while we’re doing this. They are long days, but we all enjoy being out here doing this.�

Kuchar wins Memorial DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — Most of the perks from winning the Memorial were evident to Matt Kuchar soon after his 20-foot birdie putt tumbled into the final hole Sunday. He looked just beyond the 18th green to where 3-yearold son Carson was giving a high-five to tournament host Jack Nicklaus. He had the first multiple-win season of his PGA Tour career. Kuchar went to a career-best No. 4 in the world ranking. He is all but assured of returning to Muirfield Village in October as part of the Presidents Cup team. “To walk off the green and to greet Mr. Nicklaus and have him congratulate me, that’s something I’ll certainly never forget,� he said. Perhaps the greatest benefit was one only Kuchar could feel — confidence. And that’s a big deal with the U.S. Open approaching in a little more than a week. Kuchar missed only one fairway and held off a hardcharging Kevin Chappell
over the last three holes to close with a 4-under 68 for a two-shot victory. The win came one week after he was runner-up by one shot at the Colonial. “Great golf breeds more great golf,� Kuchar said. “Winning tournaments breeds winning more tournaments. Anytime you can get comfortable playing in that final group, finishing off a tournament, winning a tournament is a huge amount of confidence. Heading into Merion, I’ll have a lot of confidence. He sure played the kind of golf that goes a long way at the U.S. Open, which starts June 13 at Merion Golf Club outside Philadelphia. Muirfield Village was such a demanding test that Tiger Woods had two triple bogeys in the same tournament for the first time since 1997 and wound up with the second-highest tournament score in his career at 8-over 296. “It happens. It happens to us all,� Woods said.
ally, and players ignored the bumps and bruises of yet another wrestling match that has made this tough-guy series compelling. Both teams attacked the basket, sometimes with problematic results. Indiana missed about five dunk attempts in the first half and a series of short jumpers, too, costing them precious points. The Heat struggled, meanwhile, starting the game just 3 of 22 from inside the 3-point line. Miami’s Big Three — James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh — went just 14 of 40. Excluding James, Miami managed only 16 baskets — eight 3s and eight 2s. With Chris “Birdman� Andersen suspended for the game because of a shoving incident with Indiana forward Tyler Hansbrough on Thursday, the Heat couldn’t keep up with Indiana’s big rebounders inside. Even Lance Stephenson, who was not effective at Miami, finished with four points, 12 rebounds and four assists. Indiana’s loud crowd created a hostile atmosphere, too. Fans chanted “Heat Are Floppers!� sporadically throughout the second half, urging the Pacers to play harder, to defend better and to make another trip home. The only way to do that is to win Game 7 and avoid a second straight playoff elimination at the hands of the Heat.
Stewart gets Dover flag Commercial Real Estate DOVER, Del. (AP) — With one big move, Tony Stewart put Juan Pablo Montoya and a sluggish season well behind him. After a mundane start, Stewart is back in Victory Lane — and in the thick of Chase contention. Stewart’s outside pass on Montoya with three laps left was enough to win Sunday at Dover International Speedway and snap a 30race winless streak. “Our guys at our shop have been digging,� Stewart said. “None of these guys get down. We have been down, but they haven’t gotten down. That is what carries you to days like today at the end of the day.� Stewart was stuck in 20th
in the standings and didn’t even have a top-finish before he rallied in Dover. Stewart hadn’t won on the concrete mile track since he swept both Cup races in 2000. The No. 14 team erupted in celebration in the pits after winning for the first time since last July in Daytona. It was a long time coming for the two-time Cup champ. “It’s been such a tough year,� Stewart said. It got a little easier Sunday. Stewart stoutly defended crew chief Steve Addington’s performance this year and thanked Hendrick Motorsports for supplying engines to his Stewart-Haas Racing team.

time against the defending champions who many considered virtually invincible after winning 27 straight during the regular season, finishing with a franchise-record 66 wins and having won 23 of their last 24 road games before losing Games 4 and 6 in Indianapolis. But the Pacers have pushed fourtime MVP LeBron James and his high-scoring, high-profile teammates to the brink of elimination by punching back, and Game 6 followed a familiar story line. The Pacers had a 5333 rebounding advantage, outscored Miami 44-22 in the paint and limited Miami’s shooters to 16 of 54, 29.6 percent, from inside the arc. James led the Heat with 29 points on 10-of-21 shooting. Nobody else scored more than 10. How have the Pacers done it? With Hibbert controlling the inside after adding MMA training to his offseason regiment. “Roy Hibbert is making extraordinary plays in the pocket, poise in the pocket we call it,� coach Frank Vogel said. “He’s getting paint catches and just having great poise, great reads. He’s not plowing over guys. He had a charge in Game 5, but has been under control.� It was everything an elimination game should be. The teams traded baskets and jabs, sometimes liter-

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana staggered Miami with one more big punch Saturday night. Now the Pacers have a fighting chance to pull off a stunning playoff upset. Roy Hibbert did everything but pull out the boxing gloves in Game 6, finishing with 24 points and 11 rebounds, and continually contesting Miami’s shots to help Indiana stave off elimination with an emphatic 91-77 victory over the defending champs. Paul George scored 28 points, had eight rebounds and five assists, and the Pacers held Miami to 36.1 percent shooting as they booked a trip back to Miami for Game 7 on Monday night. “Myself and David (West), we throw ourselves in the fray, in the paint. We like to muck it up,� Hibbert said. “Paul and myself, we wanted to make sure we got this for him as well. We didn’t want this to be our last game.� It wasn’t. Instead, after winning their first division crown since 2004, the Pacers are one win away from advancing to the NBA Finals for only the second time in franchise history. They lost to the Lakers 4-2 in 2000. They haven’t played a decisive seventh game in the conference finals since losing to Chicago in 1998. And amazingly, they’ve done it this
