Redistricting ruling resets landscape TOPEKA (AP) — Kansas lawmakers scrambled Friday to adjust to a new political landscape after three federal judges redrew the state’s voting districts and created more than two dozen open legislative seats and potential incumbent-on-incumbent matchups. The judges released maps
Thursday night that imposed new boundaries for congressional, state House, state Senate and State Board of Education districts because the Legislature failed to do so. The maps needed to be redrawn to account for population shifts over the last decade, but a bitter feud among Republicans blocked lawmakers’
proposals, so a lawsuit was filed that forced the judges to step in. In their 206-page order, the judges acknowledged that they were “pushing a re-set button” for legislative districts and imposing dramatically different boundaries — and the results stunned lawmakers. The judges created four open
Senate seats and 25 open House seats, while pairing up dozens of other legislators in districts that now have two incumbents each. Two House districts even have three incumbents each. “You couldn’t be more disruptive if you tried,” said House Speaker Mike O’Neal, a conservative Republican from Hutchinson.
“Some of these boundary lines look like they had to go out of their way to put two incumbents in the same district.” The filing deadline to run for office is noon Monday, so Republican and Democratic party officials are facing a busy weekSee Boundaries, Page A5

Southwest Kansas has survived newly-approved redistricting maps, with some changes to political boundaries but retaining all its state representatives and senators. The shifts in political boundaries for state, congressional and state board of education elections also have left a vacuum of power in the 117th House district, currently held by Rep. Larry Powell, R-Garden City, who is not seeking re-election. The new maps, which dictate boundaries for state, congress and state board of education districts, were approved by three federal judges late Thursday, ending a bitter battle among some state lawmakers during the redistricting process. Western Kansas was expected to lose a state House seat during the redistricting process, in line with new U.S. Census figures that report population losses in many western Kansas communities and population gains in the east. That loss is reflected in the complete elimination of House District 121 in northwest Kansas, which formerly accounted for four northwest Kansas counties. The 121st House District will now be absorbed into House District 120 and 118. The result will be District 120 having two Republican incumbents, District 121 Rep. Richard “Rick” Billinger and current District 120 Rep. Ward Cassidy. Both had filed for re-election prior to the boundary change. As for southwest Kansas, the number of House and Senate seats remain unchanged, though the boundaries of the larger

City again vying for REAP air travel funding By SHAJIA AHMAD
sahmad@gctelegram.com
Garden City is vying for a second opportunity to secure a statesponsored affordable airfares grant that helps bring down the federal cost of regional jet service to and from southwest Kansas. The city plans to submit a
$250,000 grant request on Monday to the Regional Economic Area Partnership of South Central Kansas to help Garden City continue affording American Eagle jet service to and from Dallas, a service that commenced in April and replaced the local airport’s former sole destination to Denver.
Better known as REAP, the cohort of south central Kansas communities is charged by the state to administer $5 million in funds through the Kansas Affordable Airfares Program, or KAAP. The KAAP state funds are designed to provide more air flight options, more competition
Sexual assault coalition marks 10 years of streamlined assistance By JOSEPH JACKMOVICH
jjackmovich@gctelegram.com
A coalition of health and law enforcement professionals in Finney County who work together to assist victims of sexual assault recently recognized its 10-year anniversary. The Finney County Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner/Sexual Assault Response Team Program is a nonprofit organization that coordinates the response, investigation and conviction of sexual assaults around southwest Kansas. The approximately 20-member board is made up of individuals from the Finney County Sheriff’s Office, the Finney County Attorney’s Office, the Garden City Police Department, St. Catherine Hospital, Social and Rehabilitation Services, Garden City Community College and Family Crisis Services.
The group saw its first case on May 2, 2002, and since then, the SANE nurses from St. Catherine Hospital have performed about 65 examinations a year. More than half of those examinations involve children younger than 12. “The reason we created this organization is to better service victims of sexual assault,” said Deputy Finney County Attorney and Finney County SANE/SART Board President Tamara Hicks. By having all the agencies work together, victims can find the difficult circumstances of an assault lessened by better coordination of testimony and evidence gathering. Garden City police Capt. Michael Utz said the group’s protocol lessens the number of times victims have to tell people the circumstances surrounding their assault. Following a sexual assault, a victim will be met at St. Catherine by a

member of law enforcement, who helps make sure the victim has a full examination done at the SANE/SART room that is separate from the rest of the hospital’s emergency room. The examination can take two-and-a-half hours and includes a full body examination with photos taken by a special camera. Victims also are advised of any treatment they may require and are pointed to resources for counseling or testing for sexually transmitted infections. Even if the victim showered or has done other acts that may have destroyed evidence, Utz encourages any sexual assault victim to come forward to determine if a case can be made against the perpetrator. While evidence for that case may not be available, he said, perpetrators often offend more than once, and the information gleaned from an examinaSee Anniversary, Page A5

A Garden City man has been arrested following an investigation by the Finney County Sheriff’s Office regarding a business burglary and the thefts of large semi-trailer and irrigation well batteries. At about 5:47 p.m. Monday, deputies responded to Tom Miller Automotive, 3165 Sherlock Road, in reference to a burglary that had occurred earlier. Deputies were advised that a known male suspect was observed in the business by two employees who had arrived unexpectedly. According to Finney County Sheriff Kevin Bascue, a person later identified as Michael Hoeffner, 41, 1605 George Ave., was confronted by the two employees before he left the area in his vehicle. It was discovered that Hoeffner allegedly had attempted to remove numerous tools and electronic equipment that were recovered at the business. Other items discovered to be missing included cash and other electronic equipment. The
estimated value of the items taken or attempted to be taken was $810. At 1:38 a.m. Tuesday, deputies observed Hoeffner driving in the 4700 block of East Hillcrest Road. He was stopped and arrested on allegations of burglary, theft and attempted theft. He is currently in custody on bonds totaling $42,000. After the traffic stop, Bascue said it was determined that Hoeffner may have been involved in other thefts. He was then arrested on further allegations of theft and criminal damage from an incident that occurred in the 300 block of North Bus Drive. Items taken from that location included semi-trailer batteries from vehicles parked at the location. Estimated loss from damage and theft was $1,200. During the investigation, four other batteries were located that are typically used in semi-trailer or irrigation wells. The batteries were believed to be from a theft that had occurred previously in the 4400 block of Commerce Drive. Bascue said that from April 30 through Thursday, there have been eight other reported battery
thefts in the county, including seven irrigation well batteries and one semitrailer battery. He encouraged residents to assist law enforcement with solving these kinds of crimes by placing some kind of mark on their batteries so they can be identified after a theft.

Lakin resident going after Hayzlett’s seat in Kansas House. By The Telegram Lakin Republican J. Russell “Russ” Jennings announced on Friday his candidacy for the 122nd District seat in the Kansas House of Representatives. The House seat currently is held by Rep. Gary Hayzlett, RLakin, who has held the seat since 1991. As of Friday afternoon, Hayzlett had not yet filed for re-election, according to the Kansas Secretary of State online listing of candidates. The filing deadline is noon Monday.

Jennings has served in numerous positions in state and local government during his 36-year career of public service. He served as deputy sheriff and undersheriff in Kearny County, District Magistrate Judge in Kearny County, Lakin and Deerfield Municipal Court judge, director of the Southwest Kansas Regional Juvenile Detention Center and as commissioner of the Kansas Juvenile Justice Authority. “Southwest Kansas has given me and my family much, and I wish to give back through representing the interests of the people of the 122nd in Topeka,” Jennings said in a written statement. “I will dedicate my time and talents to assuring the voice of southwest Kansas is heard loud and clear in Topeka.”
Jennings also served eight years as a member of the Lakin City Council, as a member of the Kansas Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, Substance Abuse Policy Board and Sex Offender Policy Board. He has been recognized for his service on the Kansas Youth Authority and Kansas Advisory Group on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention as an appointee of former Gov. Bill Graves and as appointee of former Gov. Mike Hayden to the Corrections Ombudsman Board. “The stories we read and hear about through news reports makes Topeka sound like Washington, D.C. We cannot and should not accept that politics are more important than people,” Jennings said in his
written statement. “I will work to restore the faith and trust of Kansans in their elected representatives by being honest, informed and hard-working, always working to achieve the best possible outcome for the people, not the politicians. Good government can be achieved, and I am committed to moving our region and state ahead through limited, good government.” Jennings is a graduate of Friends University with a bachelor of science in human resource management. He is married to Judy, his wife of 32 years, who is a teacher in Lakin USD 215. The couple has four adult children, Joseph Jennings, Topeka; Jim Jennings, Lakin; Julie Jennings, Topeka; and Jodie Jennings, Lakin.
Harter wins BED Rodeo Queen pageant Moundridge’s Harders named BED Rodeo princess. By RACHAEL GRAY
rgray@gctelegram.com
Katera Lynn Harter got her first horse when she was 12. Before that, she always rode her brother’s horses. The Colby resident recently purchased a barrel racing horse and will be participating in more rodeo competitions in the future. She also will be representing the Beef Empire Days Rodeo at future rodeos, as the 2012 Rodeo Queen, a title she earned Friday. Runnerup went to MeKayla Bainter of Garden City. Harter will attend Colby Community College on a rodeo scholarship in the fall and plans to transfer to Kansas State University and major in agribusiness. Out of the queen competition held Friday, Harter said the most difficult part was horsemanship. “I had a pretty hot-headed horse. It was a bit difficult to keep composure, but it ended well,” she said. The outgoing queen, Cassandra Wasko, Hanston, spent most of her time as queen attending events put on by the All American Beef Battalion, which puts on steak feeds for U.S. soldiers. She said she had been told she had been to the most steak feeds out of the former queens. “It’s been the best year of my

And if we can serve them a steak dinner one night, you know, it’s all worth it,” she said. She also represented the Beef Empire Days Rodeo at other rodeos around Kansas and in the
Midwest. Although Wasko will give up her crown, she said she still plans to attend the steak feeds. “The main thing the queen usually does is go to rodeos. This year, I went to more beef feeds, and I’m completely fine with that,” she said. Wasko attends Fort Hays State University and studies agribusi-
ness with an emphasis in animal science. She is the daughter of Paul and Judy Wasko, Hanston. The Princess title Friday went to Abby Nicole Harders, 14, of Moundridge. “I am so excited and have always wanted to win this title,” she said. Harders is the daughter of Scott and Sandy Harders of Moundridge.
Pro Rodeo Gear trailer makes first trip to BED By ANGIE HAFLICH

For Jeff Skaggs, working the trailer filled with Pro Rodeo Gear is right up his alley. Set up at the Beef Empire Days PRCA Rodeo on Friday, he said that he logs about 40,000 miles a year, pulling the trailer with his pickup to rodeo events across the country. “We only run one trailer, so this weekend alone, there’s probably 15 to 20 PRCA rodeos scattered across the country, so if I get in a location where I can make a run out of several rodeos, then I just stay in this area,” Skaggs said. It’s the first time the company has had the trailer in Garden City, and he said they made the stop because the location was in a radius of several other rodeos he has been to. “I’ve been talking about wanting to come back into the Midwest a little bit more than what we had been because for three years, we’ve basically been anywhere from the west coast back to Colorado, kind of all the way top to bottom there, so we wanted to come back a little further east and try to do a little more,” he said. “I came from Strong City to here, and then I’ll go up to North Platte (Neb.), and then I’ll do a couple in South Dakota, and then back to Minnesota, and then back to Colorado Springs, so we’re not

Jeff Skaggs, back left, talks with prospective customers Thursday prior to the night performance of the Beef Empire Days PRCA Rodeo at the Finney County Fairgrounds. Skaggs is working the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association merchandise trailer. This is the first year the trailer has been at the local rodeo. jumping 1,500 miles at a time.” The merchandise offered at the trailer includes belt buckles, caps, T-shirts, hoodies, knives, necklaces, patches, playing cards and coffee cups. As one customer looked at a hoodie, Skaggs said if she washed it twice, she would be wanting to sleep in it. When a cowboy, decked out in a pink shirt for breast cancer awareness, stopped to peruse the merchandise, Skaggs explained the benefits of one of the caps the
man was interested in. “That one will probably be your winter hat. It’s waxed cotton like the old Australia dusters. It will repel water,” Skaggs said. Many of the items say PRCA on them, but there are also a variety of sayings on the merchandise, such as “Surf the Dirt” and “Live the Ride.” The company is affiliated with the PRCA and A3 Merchandise, so Skaggs travels to PRCA rodeo events all year.
“A3 merchandise holds all the rights to the PRCA merchandise, and we go under Pro Rodeo Gear. A3 and Pro Rodeo Gear are one in the same. But we own the rights to the PRCA merchandise and the Wrangler NFR Merchandise,” he said. He added that in addition to the one Pro Rodeo Gear trailer, there are 50 NFR locations. NFR stands for National Finals Rodeo. Skaggs’ actual offices are in Nashville, Tenn., and Las Vegas, but because he is rarely at either place, his pickup serves this function. While in Garden City, he offered it up for the rodeo queen to be transported in. “I told them that they could use it as long as they don’t move any of my paperwork around,” he said. For him, the transient job is ideal. “I can last for about four days, being at home, and then I’m ready to go again,” he said. He said he isn’t exactly sure what his official title is. “I’m a truck driver and the sales manager,” he said. “They just give me an idea of where they want me to go, and I take it from there.” The trailer will be at the Finney County Fairgrounds again tonight and is open from about an hour before the rodeo starts to about an hour after it ends.

Loose dogs
N
Tougher measures needed to tackle animal control.
T
he local post office’s recent complaints about dogs on the loose wasn’t a surprise. In a community where too many people ignore leash laws and allow their dogs to run unrestrained, encounters between canines and mail carriers — as well as other people — should be expected. The Garden Should dogs and cats be City Post sterilized before they may Office recently be adopted at the local issued a animal shelter? Add your reminder on comments at the end of the the imporonline version tance of of this editorial at responsible GCTelegram.com/opinion. pet ownership in keeping letter carriers and others safe. The post office reported that 5,577 letter carriers were attacked by dogs nationwide last year, with 39 attacks in Kansas. While no local mail carriers have reported being bitten by a dog in recent years, the Garden City Post Office did note several incidents of employees encountering loose and aggressive dogs. Dog bite incidents do tend to escalate in warmer weather. The Finney County Sheriff’s Office recently reported two local residents being bitten by unrestrained dogs. Such unfortunate incidents also shine more light on the extraordinarily high unwanted local pet population that shows no signs of decline. Animal control receives 15 to 20 calls a day from people reporting or catching loose dogs. The local animal shelter has 59 kennels for dogs, but takes in at least 30 to 50 dogs a month. It’s such an influx that at least 10 dogs must be put down per week — far too many for a community of this size. Blame the problem on irresponsible pet owners who fail to restrain their dogs or abandon them. Too many people allow pets that aren’t sterilized to run loose, which leads to unwanted litters dumped around town or at the shelter. Something as simple as following local leash laws would make a difference. And, of course, pets should be spayed or neutered. The local humane society has done its best to address the problem, to include offering a low-cost spay and neuter program. Still, local officials should pursue tougher measures, such as requiring all shelter animals to be sterilized before they’re released. Aggressive dogs and the issues they create are but one symptom of a serious problem that’s plagued this community far too long, and should be fixed.

Appearances by the Son of God C
hyanna Richards saw Jesus in her bathroom. A few days ago, Richards, who lives near Houston, told a local TV news station she saw the image of Christ in a splotch of green mold on the wall above her tub. “People say, ‘Your house is blessed,’” Richards said. Not that there is anything unique about what she saw. To the contrary, the Son of God seems to pop up in some very odd places. A woman in Port St. Lucie, Fla., saw Him in a cellphone picture of her TV screen. A woman in Clermont, Fla., saw Him in a power meter. A Tampa Bay area man saw Him in a bathroom door. In Sullivan’s Island, S.C., a woman saw Him on the back of a dead stingray. In McLean, Va., a family saw Him in a tree in their front yard. A couple in Anderson County, S.C., saw Him on a Wal-Mart receipt. The reader will doubtless note that these manifestations seem to concentrate in the South — the Bible Belt. They are not exclusive to that region, but presumably, when people in relatively irreligious Philadelphia or Seattle see what appears to be a face on a banana peel, they are more apt to shrug it off. When I was a boy in Los Angeles, people said they saw the image of a pillar of salt (Genesis 19:26) in the beveled window of a church two doors down from my house. For days, we had news crews, traffic jams and lines of people crowding our street. I dutifully took my turn at the win-

dow, but all I saw was the sun glancing through the glass. That doesn’t mean those people didn’t see what they said they saw. It only means that I didn’t. Sometimes, in faith as in other aspects of life, one sees what one needs to see and there is no shame in that. “Whatever gets you through the night, it’s all right,” said John Lennon. Or as Father Ray, the conflicted priest on the short-lived TV series “Nothing Sacred” once asked: “Which man is truly crazy, the one who hears thunder and thinks it the voice of God, or the one who hears the voice of God and thinks it only thunder?” In a world that is often angry, hateful and confused, these sightings seem to reflect a need among people of faith to be affirmed by God. To see Jesus in a household appliance is, perhaps, to feel singled out, seen, reassured that there is, indeed a plan, and that things will be better, by and by. This is a human need shared by the boy in Sunday school, the man on his knees facing Mecca, the mourners saying Kaddish. People of faith seek to be affirmed by God, but might not the world be a little less angry, hateful and confused, a little less violent, if people of faith more often also sought
ways in which God could be affirmed by us? If we gave the help we sought? After all, the Quran says, “Who so saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind.” The Talmud says, “Whosoever saves one life, saves the world entire.” And Jesus of Nazareth said to turn the other cheek. To make peace with your brother. To bear insults and lies with gladness. To offer your coat to the person who demands your shirt. To take care of one another. To love one another. Chyanna Richards thinks Jesus looks like an image in the mold of her bathroom wall. Maybe He does. Or maybe He looks like a hungry child having his first meal in two days. Maybe He looks like a sick and indigent woman being cared for by tender hands. Maybe He looks like someone passing the time of day with the old man no one ever visits. Maybe He looks like anonymous charity and activist love. It would be the easiest thing in the world to ridicule Richards, to make fun of all those people, concentrated in the poorest, most rural part of the country, who see Jesus in their cheese sandwiches and tire treads. But John Lennon was right, and Father Ray had a good point. Seeing is believing, but believing is also seeing. And sometimes, there is no difference between the two.

Walker had natural advantages T
he recall of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker didn’t fail, it was only outspent. This is the considered verdict of the left after a year and a half of trying to smite Gov. Walker with its terrible swift sword. What began as a crusade to vindicate the rights of public-sector unions ended in a pathetic bleat of a complaint against spending in political campaigns. “It hurts too much to laugh and I’m too big to cry,” Abraham Lincoln said after he lost his Senate bid to Stephen Douglas. Too earnest to laugh and too proud to cry, the left can only rationalize. If the anti-Walker forces hadn’t been so badly outspent — and especially if the Supreme Court hadn’t unleashed the forces of darkness in its Citizens United decision — Wisconsin voters assuredly would have rejected his reforms. For the left, Citizens United has practically supplanted Dred Scott as the worst Supreme Court decision of all time. It held that political spending is a form of speech, and therefore corporations and unions can spend freely in elections. The decision came down in January 2010. If its vicious logic made it impossible to recall Scott Walker, everyone determined to do so had fair warning. In reality, Citizens United had nothing to do with the outcome in Wisconsin. Yes, Scott Walker outspent his opponent, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, by a margin of roughly 8-1. This wasn’t the handiwork of the highest court in the land. A provi-
sion in Wisconsin law going back to 1987 gives the target of a recall a window to raise unlimited funds. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, it arose when Democratic state senators fighting recalls needed to raise more money for legal expenses, and it passed with bipartisan support. If the organizers of the recall had done more thinking and less shouting into bullhorns, they might have realized that Walker got a period of free and easy fundraising not available to his eventual Democratic opponent; that he could marshal his resources while Democrats might have to fight it out in a primary until a month before the recall vote; that their assault on Walker had elevated his national profile such that he could raise money from all around the country. In other words, they might have realized Walker had natural advantages that had nothing to do with Citizens United or any other boogeyman. Sure enough, Walker garnered millions in donations from rich people living outside Wisconsin. Is there something wrong with out-ofstate money? Certainly not in such a nationalized race. The whole world was watching, remember? Of course, outside groups played in a big way in
Wisconsin, too. The biggest, the Republican Governors Association, existed prior to Citizens United, and the group’s fundraising hasn’t been affected by it much. David Koch could give it $1 million as easily prior to the decision as he can now. The RGA spent $9 million in Wisconsin — defending a Republican governor. What else is a governors association for? In the end, all the money in Texas couldn’t have saved Walker if his reforms hadn’t been favored by the Wisconsin public. The exit polls say 52 percent of Wisconsinites approved of Walker’s measures. Rather than grapple with this highly inconvenient fact, the left rages against a Supreme Court decision. Its beef isn’t so much with Citizens United per se, but the entire line of reasoning — evident in follow-on court decisions — that says free people in a free country should be able to band together and spend to advance whatever cause they like. After all, it wasn’t corporations that flooded Wisconsin with money, but engaged individuals interested in the outcome of a momentous contest. The left will now set out to shut down as much of this political activity as possible. Nancy Pelosi is already proposing to amend the First Amendment so a crackdown on spending passes new-and-improved constitutional muster. The Wisconsin recall was ill-considered petulance; the second act will be a deliberate assault on liberty.

o wonder Republicans can’t even get 40 percent of Latino votes in a presidential election. When Mitt Romney made his first big push to appeal to Latinos earlier this week in Texas, he hammered the “Obama economy” for being “particularly hard on Hispanic businesses and Hispanic Americans.” He pointed out the grim statistics — an unemployment rate for Latinos of 11 percent and a poverty rate of 30 percent. And he stressed that the Obama regime’s economic policies are hostile to the small businesses and entrepreneurs that traditionally provide many of the jobs in the Hispanic community. Everything Romney said was true. But he delivered the wrong message in the wrong place. Texas is a Republican stronghold. Romney couldn’t lose the Lone Star State this fall if he promised on Day One of his presidency to outlaw cattle, oil and gas. Where Mitt should be stumping for Latino votes is in the contested states of Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Florida. That’s where the election is going to be won or lost. That’s where the Latinos he needs to persuade are concentrated. Unfortunately for Romney, he’s in serious trouble with Latinos. According to a poll last month, he trails Obama 61 to 27 percent among Latinos. It’s nothing new. Latinos generally vote 2-1 Democrat. In 2004, Republicans thought they went to heaven when President Bush got 44 percent of the Latino vote. But in 2008 it was back to the usual slaughter. Obama and Biden out-pointed McCain and Palin among Latinos by a margin of 67-31. It’s hard to blame Latinos for not liking Republicans. The GOP only pays attention to them in election years. And when it courts the Latino community, the GOP doesn’t shape its message to fit their needs or appeal to their conservative family values; it delivers tired economic boilerplate about the benefits of lower taxes. Romney needs to customize and personalize his message to Latinos voters. He also badly needs someone in his party to help him deliver it. If that sounds like a job for Super Marco Rubio, it’s not. Everyone’s favorite VP pick isn’t the only Latino kid on the Republican block. Have you heard of Gov. Susana Martinez of New Mexico and Gov. Brian Sandoval of Nevada? Didn’t think so. Don’t feel bad. Apparently no one in the GOP has either. In 2010 Martinez and Sandoval — young, smart, popular and Latino — won easily in heavily Latino states. As Republicans. Both obviously figured out how to appeal to the independent and Democrat voters. Sandoval beat Harry Reid’s son in a state that’s 26 percent Latino. Martinez was elected in a state that’s half Latino and has three times as many Democrats as Republicans. How did she win the New Mexico governor’s office? Not by talking about the differences between Democrats and Republicans. Not about talking about taxes. She won by appealing to the values that Republicans and Latinos share: Who are we as a country? Where are we going? Today Martinez has a 70 percent approval rating and is the unsung hero of the Republican Party. She’s the first elected Latina governor in the history of the United States, and the GOP can’t seem to find her even though she is right there in plain view. Romney shouldn’t necessarily pick Martinez as his VP, as some have suggested. But he should pick her brain. And when Mitt goes courting Latino votes in tough tossup states like Colorado or Florida, the GOP should make sure Martinez or Sandoval is attached to his hip.

Region: Area survives redistricting shakeup Continued from Page A1
rural districts in the House have changed. Because of shifts that reflect growth in the 122nd District that is currently held by Rep. Gary Hayzlett, R-Lakin, both Hayzlett and Rep. Powell live in the same House district under the newlyapproved maps. The point is moot for Powell, since the Garden City lawmaker had decided not to seek reelection in the House and instead is opting to challenge Sen. Steve Morris, R-Hugoton, for his 39th Kansas Senate seat this election year. However, according to the Kansas State Secretary’s Office, no candidate had yet filed as of Friday afternoon for the 117th district. The 117th district, under the newly-revised
maps, reflects the following geographic areas: a small portion of east Finney County, Hodgeman County, the eastern half of Ford County, Kiowa County, Edwards County, Pawnee County, Ness County and western portions of Rush County. Additionally, the 122nd House district now will cover most all of rural Finney County and will lose Scott County entirely. Scott County now will be in Rep. Don Hineman’s 118th district under the new, federally-mandated maps. Hayzlett, who had not yet filed for re-election as of Friday afternoon, according to information available from the state secretary’s office, said Friday afternoon he had not yet had a look at the House district map. “I don’t have any com-
ment until I take a look at it,” he said. If Hayzlett does file for re-election, he will have a challenger in August’s Republican primary as Lakin Republican J. Russell “Russ” Jennings announced Friday his intentions to run for the 122nd District seat. Hineman, a Dighton Republican whose 118th district seat includes Wichita and Lane counties, will now be seeing growth with the addition of Scott County. The two-term state representative already has filed for a third term in his newly designated district. In addition to Scott County, the new 118th district also will see the addition of Sheridan and Graham counties and parts of Thomas County. While Hineman described himself as
most disruptive change in legislative districts that the state has ever seen,” said Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a conservative Republican who was the lawsuit’s initial defendant because his office oversees elections. The order can be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, but neither Kobach nor Robyn Renee Essex, the GOP precinct committee
member from Olathe who filed the lawsuit, expected to do so. Essex’s attorney, Brent Haden, said Essex wanted constitutional maps in place for the elections was “prepared to move forward.” Kobach said county elections officials still expect to meet all deadlines ahead of the Aug. 7 primary election, including one June 23 for distributing ballots to mili-
pleased to be representing Scott City if and when he is re-elected, the state representative also expressed his puzzlement at the new political boundaries, not just in southwest Kansas, but across the state. “It’s quite a bit different than what we were expecting. I’m very surprised at the extent of the changes in the House map,” Hineman said, adding that his expectation was that
his 118th district would grow to the south and not the north as it has. “A lot of incumbents are running against incumbents, and a lot of districts have no one in them. The amazing thing is that the filing deadline is this Monday, so anyone that is running has to make up their mind very quickly and has to get to Topeka to file with the Secretary of State’s office,” Hineman said. Kay Curtis, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Secretary of State’s office, confirmed that Monday’s noon filing deadline still stands. “The secretary of state has no authority to change that. ... The court could have changed the candidate filing deadline, but they did not,” Curtis said. As for state House and Senate candidates across
the state who have filed to run in a district they no longer live in, Curtis said they also have until noon Monday to declare their intentions to run or withdraw from this year’s races. Curtis said the aforementioned scenario reflects 76 candidates across the state, the majority of which are House seats. None of those candidates are in southwest Kansas, according to Curtis. As for the state senate, both the Kansas Senate’s 38th and 39th districts remain largely unchanged. Morris has refiled for his 39th District Senate seat, as has District 38 Sen. Garrett Love, RMontezuma. Love faces no challengers as of Friday, according to the state secretary’s office.
tary personnel overseas. The judges’ order denied two key requests from Gov. Sam Brownback. The conservative Republican had wanted a single Senate district for Leavenworth County and to keep Manhattan, home to Kansas State University and the site of a planned federal biosecurity lab, in a congressional district with other eastern Kansas
communities. Instead, the judges split the county and put Manhattan in a district with western and central Kansas. “It’s now in the hands of the people,” Brownback said in a statement, his only response to the redrawn maps. The possible scramble for candidates was evident when Sen. John Vratil, a Leawood Republican and
moderate GOP leader, announced Friday that he wouldn’t seek re-election and quickly endorsed Rep. Pat Colloton, another moderate Leawood Republican, as his successor. Colloton had been drawn into a House district with another representative. “It’s a complete political reset,” said Rep. Scott Schwab, a conservative Olathe Republican.

Grant: City again vying for REAP air travel funding Continued from Page A1
KAAP since the program’s 2006 inception. In 2011, Garden City made its first application to REAP for fiscal support in the city’s venture to secure American Eagle jet service from federal transportation authorities. Garden City officials were hopeful at the time that a quarter-million-dollar KAAP grant would help bring down the U.S. Department of Transportation’s cost to subsidize American Eagle’s twice-daily flights between Dallas and Garden City through the Essential Air Service Program, a federal program that assists hundreds of small rural communities across the nation
with commercial air service. The application was successful, and Garden City was awarded the same $250,000 figure the community is asking for again this year. Garden City Aviation Director Rachelle Powell said receiving KAAP funding is critical to continued service to and from Dallas. The funding award is also contingent upon the city providing a onethird local match — about $83,333 — above the funding amount provided by REAP. A rejection from REAP would mean the city airport would be responsible for nearly $333,333. While American Eagle would not discontinue service if the KAAP award
did not come to fruition, according to Powell, it would be difficult for the city to come up with alternative sources to close the funding gap and would put the city in a “financially precarious situation.” “If we don’t get this, the city will have to find $250,000 some other way,” Powell said, adding that she is fairly confident that REAP will continue its fiscal support to southwest Kansas this year. Included in the KAAP application this year is a letter of support from Garden City’s neighbor 50 miles to the east, which played a pivotal role in helping Garden City secure American Eagle jet service from federal officials. Under a regional part-
nership, Dodge City designated about half a million dollars from its own EAS program to support the Garden City Regional Airport in its endeavor to acquire American Eagle jet service. In a compromise reached between city officials in August 2011, Dodge City agreed to bump the Dodge City Regional Airport’s service of four daily Denver flights down to three, offering the cost savings to the DOT, so federal officials could allocate the savings toward Garden City’s American Eagle subsidy requirement. “The regional jet service has been very successful for the area. In addition, our Dodge City Regional enplanements
have increased for westbound service to Denver,” the letter to REAP from Dodge City officials reads. “The request also fulfills the regionalization concept that REAP itself has promoted and western Kansas has embraced in order to better serve our citizens.” Since American Eagle’s start in early April, the Garden City airport has serviced 2,460 enplanements, which are passengers who travel through the airport. Dodge City, which is still serviced by Wyomingbased Great Lakes Aviation to and from Denver, hosted 1,062 enplanements in the same time frame. Based on recent market retention studies, Garden City airport officials esti-
mate that Dodge City and Garden City gained a combined nearly 1,085 passengers who chose to fly local over traveling to airports in Wichita or Amarillo, Texas. In 2011, market retention studies indicated that 34.5 percent of western Kansas air travelers went out of the region — primarily to Wichita and Amarillo — to fly. Local airport officials are hopeful the onset of competitive air service in southwest Kansas will bring that figure down. Powell said she and other city officials are hopeful to hear about the KAAP award by mid-July. The remaining $4.75 million of the state’s annual 2011 KAAP allocation benefited Mid-Continent Airport in Wichita.
asked and give the interviews without uniforms, badges or guns present to ensure the conversation is as comfortable as possible. Careful language also is used during the process to ascertain what exactly happened, something that can be important when dealing with children at various stages of development. “Lots of parents teach their kids cutesy little names for the vagina and penis,” Hicks said. Hicks said the interview process can take anywhere from 20 minutes to two hours. Variables could include the willingness of the victim to talk or the amount of incidents to be discussed if several assaults took place. Since the interview is recorded, other agencies can review the material without having to force the victim to recount the entire story multiple times. After the forensic interview, the case is assigned to a detective, who investigates the case like any other standard criminal investigation. Following
the investigation, the Finney County Attorney’s Office then receives affidavits from investigating agencies and determines if there is enough evidence to present a case. Should there be insufficient evidence, the attorney’s office can request additional investigation. By streamlining the process, Hicks said, evidence and corroboration can be presented that can convince a jury to convict. Though dealing with a jury is always an unknown variable, Hicks said the group has made an impact in landing convictions for sexual assault cases. “Our conviction rate went up drastically when we first started this program,” Hicks said. Regardless of the outcome of a case, the group has monthly meetings to discuss recent sexual assault cases. The reason for the meetings is to look at what the group learned
from a case and how to improve collaboration and future investigations. Since many of the victims the group works with are children, Hicks had advice for parents to ensure their children are safe. Rather than the oftentouted message of “stranger danger,” Hicks said generally the perpetrators of these crimes are people the child knows. According to the Child Abuse Research Education and Service Institute at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, 85 percent of abuse against a child is perpetrated by a relative or individual the child knows. Hicks said that these cases can be especially challenging because the children don’t want to get these relatives or acquaintances in trouble. She said some warning behaviors could include adults that insist on activities that separate the child from others or that involve exces-
sive amounts of time spent alone with the child. Other signs can include sudden or escalating behavioral changes with a child that also could have a negative effect on academic marks. One especially troubling and common practice Hicks said she encounters is a practice known as “grooming.” Grooming is a process that involves manipulation and positive reinforcement to build connections with a child so they will be less likely to report the assault or potentially even be made
unaware that the assault is wrong. She said that parents should be especially wary of physical contact with adults that can include activities as seemingly innocent as tickling. “I can’t tell you how many cases started with ‘he was just tickling me,’” Hicks said.

tion may be useful for a current or future investigation. Injuries are also not an absolute when dealing with sexual assault. “It’s important to know that you can have a sexual assault with no injuries,” said St. Catherine Emergency Room Director and SANE Registered Nurse Ashley Rich, who is one of six SANE nurses at the hospital. Following the examination, a forensic interview is set up with the victim. The forensic interview is done with one specially trained member from the sheriff’s office or the GCPD. The sheriff’s office has two trained interviewers, and the police department has six. The interview is always done one-on-one, though individuals from other agencies may monitor the interviews from another room as they are always recorded. Forensic interviewers undergo special training to ensure that no leading questions are

company. It was the first week since my engagement that I didn’t think about wedding details. There was no stress, no fighting, no meaningless energy wasted. It was the first time that I realized how silly I had been to get so caught up in the small stuff. When I woke up on my wedding day, Sept. 5, 2009, I knew my wedding was going to be perfect. It had nothing to do with all of my hard work, planning or even money. It was going to be perfect because my dad was going to be there to walk me down the aisle. I realized that not a single wedding detail would have mattered without my dad being there that day.

things that mattered. I bought four different pairs of wedding shoes because I couldn’t decide which shade of ivory matched my dress just right. After that splurge, I actually started doubting my dress as I delved back into bridal magazines searching for one that could have possibly been better. I admit that if my wedding planning had gone on another few weeks, I would have morphed into a full-blown “Bridezilla.� Although I didn’t realize it at the time, I was actually one of the lucky brides-to-be. By that, I mean that I got a reality check. It came in the form of a life-changing event that reminded me what really mattered ... and it wasn’t the frosting on the cake or the length of the bridesmaids’ dresses.

When you look at your life, the greatest happinesses are family happinesses. — Dr. Joyce Brothers ••• rom the right flowers, which just happened to be light blue and violet hydrangeas, to tackling the headache-inducing seating charts, I spent months planning every detail of my traditional wedding, and it had to be perfect! The venue that I fell in love with was a private country club in Connecticut that neither I nor my family could ever afford to join. The reality was that I was cursed with champagne taste on a beer budget. What would my wedding be without the perfect venue, though? My “perfect weddingâ€? obsession forced me to make some serious compromises (I now regret my lack of passed hors d’oeuvres), but I knew I had to have the venue.

I grabbed my bag and jumped in the car with my fiancĂŠ. The 10-minute car ride to the emergency room seemed like an eternity as I relived a phone call I had received eight years earlier. I was in college at the time, three hours away from home, when my aunt called to inform me that my stepfather had died of a heart attack that morning. I couldn’t bear the thought of losing my dad, too. As tears started streaming down, I kept telling myself that he was going to be OK. Thankfully, he was OK. He had indeed suffered a heart attack, but was lucky enough to get medical attention immediately. He underwent surgery to open his clogged arteries and stayed in the hospital for a few nights for further testing and observation. My sister and I visited him in his hospital room every day to keep him

Obama gets grief for saying private sector ‘fine’ WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama made Mitt Romney’s day by declaring “the private sector is doing fine” and opening himself to the accusation that he — not the rich Republican — is the one who is out of touch with reality. Obama quickly clarified his remark Friday but Republicans already had their teeth in it and weren’t letting go. “Is he really that out of touch?” GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney asked as Obama’s initial comments ricocheted through the presidential campaign. Seeking to head off any damage, Obama backpedaled and declared it is “absolutely clear that the economy is not doing fine.” While there had been some “good momentum” in the private sector, Obama said, public sector growth lagged behind, making it imperative that Congress act on his proposals to hire more teachers and first-responders. Obama’s original sixword sentence, even if taken out of context, amounted to an unforced political error. The economy is the single biggest issue on voters’ minds and a weak spot for him, given the nation’s stubbornly high 8.2 percent unemployment rate. Nearly every day, Obama finds himself having to defend his stewardship of an economy that has struggled to recover from the 2008 economic downturn
Associated Press
President Barack Obama talks about the economy Friday in the briefing room of the White House in Washington. and pleading with voters to stick with him because, he says, Romney would pursue policies that led to the recession. But on Friday, Obama may have given his rival an opening. The former Massachusetts governor argued anew that Obama does not understand how to jumpstart the economy and his agenda has thwarted the recovery instead of putting millions of unemployed workers back on the job. Obama’s comments at a White House news conference were reminiscent of Republican nominee John
McCain’s assertion in midSeptember 2008 that the “fundamentals of our economy are strong,” just as the U.S. economy was melting down. Candidate Obama seized on those comments then. Now, as president, he was getting grief along similar lines. Romney, holding a campaign event in Council Bluffs, Iowa, said Obama’s remark was “defining what it means to be detached and out of touch with the American people.” He said the comment “is going to go down in history as an extraordinary miscalculation and misunderstand-
ing.” But while “doing fine” is in the eye of the beholder, Obama was correct that the job picture in the private sector is brighter than in the public sector. Since the recession officially ended in June 2009, private companies have added 3.1 million jobs. Largely because of cuts at the state and local level, governments have slashed 601,000 jobs over the same period. According to the government, corporate profits have risen 58 percent since mid-2009. Even so, by historical standards, private job gains in the last three months
have been weak after such a deep recession. Obama pressed Congress to enact parts of his jobs agenda, including proposals to help state governments rehire teachers, police officers and firefighters. Seconds after Obama made the remark, Republicans circulated the quote on Twitter and Romney seized on it about an hour later after meeting farmers. Behind the scenes, Romney aides worked furiously to push what they hope could be a shift in the campaign. The Republican National Committee posted an online video by midday repeating Obama’s comment and asking: “How can President Obama fix our economy if he doesn’t understand what’s broken?” The question was a direct rehash of the one Obama’s campaign asked voters in a very similar video four years ago. Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said Obama had taken office “in the midst of a severe economic crisis and fought back against that to the point where businesses have now created more than 4.3 million private sector jobs. The president has always been clear that we need to do more than recover from the recession.” He later said on Twitter, “Being called out of touch by a candidate who joked about being unemployed and said he likes to fire people is rich.”
To snag the best airfares, flexibility is key ing weekend, they slash prices. Each Tuesday, they email offers for that coming weekend or the following one to fliers who have signed up online for the deal alerts. Travelers have to depart late Friday night or anytime Saturday and come back Monday or Tuesday. An added plus: weekend getaways save precious vacation days. Recent offers include: Houston to Memphis for $180, Huntsville, Ala. to Chicago for $174, Washington D.C. to Greenville, S.C. for $157 and Charlotte, N.C. to West Palm Beach, Fla. for $240. • Twitter and Facebook Airlines are experimenting with sales on Twitter. At the forefront is JetBlue, which tweets lastsecond fare sales and vacation package discounts from @JetBlueCheeps. Some deals apply to just a few seats and are gone within hours. “If you find something, jump on it,” says John DiScala, who each year flies around 150,000 miles, visits 20 countries and writes about it at JohnnyJet.com. JetBlue recently tweeted a sale at 3:16 p.m.; it ended at 6 p.m. Airlines announce special sales to those who “like” their Facebook pages and sites like AirfareWatchdog offer fare alert emails.
There are also frequent fliers who search for and post cheap flights in online discussion boards. Two of the better discussion boards are: http:// w w w. f l y e r t a l k . c o m / forum/mileage-run-deals372/ and http://milepoint. com/forums/forums/ mileage-runs-mattressruns-travel-hacking.6/ • Flexible dates Looking to go to Paris for a week but don’t care when in the next few months? ITA Software’s airfare search (matrix. itasoftware.com) provides a calendar of the lowest fares. Just enter the departure and destination city — nearby airports can even be added — and then how many nights to spend there. It will find the cheapest prices for a month out from a given date. The length of the trip can even be a range, say five to seven days. • Chase the fare, not the destination Want to know the cheapest fares from a departure city to anywhere? Check out Kayak’s explore tool (kayak.com/explore). It allows travelers to search multiple airlines at once this way. A map pops up with all the destinations under a set budget point.

PHOENIX (AP) — Flick the switch on these flashlights and they don’t light up. They blow up. Three of these bombs have exploded within the last month in the Phoenix area, causing minor injuries to five people and raising fears of more serious ones. Police still have no idea who is behind them and have taken the unusual step of putting up 22 billboards across the sprawling metro area to warn residents about discarded flashlights. “The nature of the bombings are so random,” said Tom Mangan, a special agent at the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Phoenix. Mangan said the agency has ruled out any connection to terrorism because the targets have been random and there have been no messages or demands. The ATF said the bombs appear to have been made by the same person or people because their design was identical. An explosive was placed inside the flashlights with a smaller battery and rigged so that turning it on would send an electrical current that triggered the blast, Mangan said.

NEW YORK (AP) — To snag the best airfares, travelers need to be adventurous and willing to pick up at a moment’s notice. OK, now let’s be realistic. Most people making summer travel plans need just that: plans. They get a week off, maybe two, and aren’t going to spend hard-earned cash on a last-second whim. But great deals are still within reach for those who have even a little flexibility in choosing where and when to travel. The average roundtrip domestic ticket will cost $431 this summer, an increase of 2.6 percent from last year, according to Kayak.com. But remember: that’s an average. One trip might cost $800 while another can be found for $200. “Airfares are high but there are pockets of cheap out there,” says Seth Miller, an information technology consultant who writes a blog under the name The Wandering Aramean. Miller does his best to beat the system by connecting in strange cities, flying at off hours and taking advantage of sales often offered when an airline adds a new destination. Here are some tips from Miller and other expert travelers on how to combat rising airfares. • Last-minute weekend fares When airlines don’t fill planes for an upcom-

Authorities comb Florida site of family’s plane crash JUNCTION CITY (AP) — Investigators combed through a 4-mile rural area in central Florida on Friday trying to determine what caused a single-engine plane to break apart in midair and crash into a swampy area, killing a Kansas businessman, his wife and their four young children. The single-turboprop, fixed-wing plane broke apart and went down about 12:30 p.m. Thursday in the Tiger Creek Preserve, according to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office in Florida. The 4,900acre preserve is about 50 miles southwest of Orlando. Deputies reached the area by helicopters, and it was clear no one survived, the sheriff’s office said. Ron Bramlage, a 45year-old businessman in Junction City who owned Roadside Ventures LLC, was piloting the 2006 Pilatus Pc12/47. His wife, Rebecca, 43, and the couple’s children — Brandon, 15; Boston, 13; Beau, 11; and 8-year-old Roxanne — were killed, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office said. The family was returning home to Junction City from the Bahamas. Tim Monville, an investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board, said Friday the investigation into the cause may take up to a year and will involve reconstructing the aircraft. “Our main goal or job is to determine what happened and why,� he said. Officers from the Florida Fish and Wildlife

In this photo provided by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, emergency personnel investigate the site where a Pilatus PC-12, a single-engine turboprop passenger plane, crashed near Lake Weohyakapka, aka Lake Walk In the Water, in southeast Polk County, Fla., on Thursday. Ronald Bramlage, 45, of Junction City, who was piloting the plane, his wife, Rebecca, and their four children were killed in the crash. Conservation Commission on Friday afternoon found what appeared to be the body of 13-year-old Boston Bramlage, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office said in a release. The body was found about a half-mile from the main crash site, where the other bodies were recovered. The office said further tests would have to be done to confirm the identity, but the search had been discontinued. Investigators at the scene were “relieved that we were able to recover this young man so that the surviving family members can have some sort of closure,� Polk
County Sheriff Grady Judd said. Junction City Mayor Pat Landes said the couple supported many local projects and provided college scholarships. The family was well known in town and at Kansas State University, where the basketball arena is named for Ron Bramlage’s grandfather. At least two dozen bouquets of flowers lined the black wrought-iron fence surrounding the family’s ranch-style home by Thursday evening. A trampoline sat in the front lawn, and a hammock hung between two large trees in
the wooded yard. Ron was the grandson of the late Fred Bramlage, a 1935 graduate of Kansas State and a Junction City businessman. Fred Bramlage was the lead contributor to the construction of Bramlage Coliseum, an arena that opened in 1988 and is home to the Kansas State men’s and women’s basketball teams. A library in the city is named for Ron Bramlage’s grandmother, Dorothy Bramlage. Ron Walker, superintendent of the local school district, said the family was down-to-earth despite their wealth and famous name. He said Rebecca, along with heading the school board, was a board member of the local school foundation. “I’ve been here about 10 years now. She and Ron, they were among the first people to greet me. I didn’t even know they had any wealth at all for about five years. It was just, ‘How can we help you, how can we serve?�’ The Rev. Al Brungardt, pastor of St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Junction City, where the family attended weekly Mass, said Friday he has been getting several calls asking for guidance. Parishioners want to know “how do I tell my kids,� Brungardt said. “I mean, they were always a very happy family. Roxanne had her First Communion recently, the youngest one, and wrote me a letter afterward.�

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Management at the Kansas Bioscience Authority did not break any laws when it violated policies on expenses and credit card usage, Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe announced Friday after a yearlong investigation. Howe’s investigation began last year as the authority came under scrutiny from Gov. Sam Brownback and other Republicans over its management and investments under CEO Tom Thornton. He resigned for a job in Ohio in April 2011, days after the Bioscience Authority agreed to an audit. Howe said in a news release that his investigation found violations related to travel expenses, personal expenses and a lack of supporting documents for purchases made with authority credit cards. However, Howe noted, “violation of office policies does not always equal criminal conduct.� The news release said Howe’s office would not be filing charges against the authority or its management. A phone message left for Thornton late Friday morning was not immediately returned. The prosecutor said his office’s ability to file criminal charges was affected by actions of authority management and its board of directors. He said questionable expenditures were approved several times, either before or shortly after each expenditure was made. “Acquiescence to this behavior makes prosecution of individuals virtu-
ally impossible,� Howe wrote. The authority, created in 2004 to nurture the bioscience industry in the state, issued a statement noting that Howe’s announcement brings to a close an investigation that started more than a year ago after the agency agreed to the audit. That audit, made public in January, raised questions about perceived conflicts of interest and misuse of funds by Thornton. “As we said when the audit was released, the KBA takes the auditor’s recommendations seriously, and its recommended improve-
ments have been implemented or are underway,� the statement said. Dale Rodman, who was appointed to the Bioscience Authority board in April, led the Brownback administration’s oversight of the audit. Legislators responded to the audit by drafting measures to prevent anyone who could benefit from agency investments from serving on the authority. Lawmakers also proposed reducing the amount of state revenue transferred each year to finance the agency’s operations. A Brownback spokes-
woman said changes made to the authority’s board and recommendations made by investigators will help prevent future problems with the agency. “Governor Brownback is confident in the new board leadership at the KBA and its ability to address the concerns brought forth in both audit and the District Attorney’s investigation,� Sherriene Jones-Sontag said in a statement. “The biosciences industry is an extremely important industry in Kansas and he is committed to growing this key sector of our state’s economy.�

Caught up in a hobby Low Giants, left, and Red Piranha are among the variety of Venus flytraps that Gary Gipson grows.
Venus flytraps become a growing passion for Gipson W
A Red Piranha Venus flytrap waits for an unsuspecting insect.
hen Gary Gipson was 8 or 9 years old, he spotted an advertisement in the back of an old Archie Comics book for a strange looking and oddly shaped plant. The living specimen, with hinged leaves that sprung shut after trapping insects, immediately caught his eye, and the young Gipson scrounged up the $1.25 Story by or so necessary to purchase the carnivorous SHAJIA creature. AHMAD “Of course, being a young boy, the thought of a flesh-eating plant was just too irresistible Photos by to ignore,” Gipson said. BRAD “Six to eight weeks later, a dry, dehydrated NADING little bulb came in the mail — we didn’t have FedEx back then — and of course I planted it in dirt and nothing grew. It dashed my hopes. But I knew the plant was out there. I knew it was real.” The living creatures, known as Venus flytraps, are very real, and their evolution and survival have fascinated Gipson throughout his life. So much so that the 48-year-old Garden City resident has been studying and cultivating for decades the threatened species that exists by swallowing ants, beetles, wasps and flies for nutrition. About three years ago, the jeweler by profession has been successfully growing thousands of the flytraps through
tissue cultures in a lab in the basement of his home. Varieties of the small reddish and green-colored plants also bedeck parts of his family’s Main Street store, Gipson Diamond Jewelers, and some even grow under a row of LED lights in a storage facility at the back of the shop. With thousands of flytraps maturing over the last several months in his homemade laboratory, Gipson is now hoping to share his hobby with more of the world. “With Venus flytraps, I always thought it was just me that had an obsession with them,” he said. “But everybody who sees them seems to be just as fascinated, so I guess I’m not as strange as I thought I was.”
Flytrap culture Gipson has been working with plants even longer than gems and precious metals. The green thumb started early on, when he grew his first garden of sunflowers at the age of 5. A lifelong love for horticulture and a fascination with the Venus flytrap spurred Gipson to learn as much as he could about the plants and to try to nurse and grow them, the latter of which he ultimately learned was daunting. That’s because the plant, known by See Flytraps, Page B3

As families grow older, cherish the time you eat together Y
ou know it’s summer when dinner means ballpark burgers and sandwiches on the road. As our kids got older and busier and became fussier eaters, the traditional family dinner gave way to a different tradition, eating on the run. When our children were younger, we sat down at the dinner table and ate; or argued with our children to eat; or bargained with them to eat; or gave up and let them sit there until they got hungry enough to eat; or just plain gave up. Then they became teenagers, and we tried to adjust meal times around their activities. We’d eat early if there were activities going on. We’d eat late if activities started early. We’d eat in the car on the way to the activity or in the car on the way back from an activity. We’d pack lunches so our kids
could eat if the event called for it. I even cooked spaghetti at 7 in the morning when my son had to travel to ball games. Yes, he’d rather eat spaghetti in the morning than breakfast. Over time, meals became a moving target. In fact, our dog is the only member of the family that has a regular meal time. But then again, she whines by our bed at 5 in the morning, telling us she’s hungry. We are well trained. We get up and feed her. Then at 5 at night, she starts whining again until her bowl is filled. When our kids were young and whined about being hungry, we told them to wait until dinner time. Now they only ask what’s for dinner, decide whether they like it or not, raid the refrigerator for
something they want or head out to fill up on fast-food. I wish I could say that come dinner time, no matter where we are, no matter what we are doing, we all meet at the dinner table and share our days with each other, but I’m not Ward Cleaver, my wife’s not June and Wally and the Beaver live elsewhere. Truth is, on the rare occasions we do meet at the dinner table at the same time, it’s a nice flashback to days gone by. These days, when we eat together, it’s in the car on the way back from a baseball game. You take what you can get,
especially when you are looking at one member of the family gone off to college and another heading there soon. Pretty soon, it will just be my wife and I eating together, much as it is now. Even that is a precarious event. On nights my wife works late, I’ll feed the dog — she comes first — make dinner for my wife and I, and eat by myself, with her to follow once she gets home. It’s funny how things change. Parents start off earnestly enough. Dinner is family time, no TV, no racing through dinner to get back to playing with your friends and no distractions. Now, when families do gather to break bread, we interrupt ourselves to text or answer cell phones, and that includes parents, too. I used to think cell phones were for emergencies only and now chastise my family when I
try and get in touch with them and they don’t have their phones with them. When we are able to sit down as a family, it’s great. I look around at my family and the welcomed boyfriend and girlfriend that come with our kids, and I feel good. We may not sit down formally as often as we used to, but we enjoy it just as much, if not more. I feel good about the family my wife and I have raised, and that even though it doesn’t happen often, our kids still take some time out of their increasingly busy lives to share a meal and a few chuckles with Mom and Dad. Of course, we have to feed the dog first.

Federal court: Hawaii can regulate beach weddings HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii can regulate weddings on public beaches without violating people’s right to marry, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday. Permits required by the state help protect more than 200 public beaches in the islands, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said. “We recognize that the right to marry is a fundamental right,� the ruling says. “But ... regulation of commercial weddings on unencumbered state beaches does not impinge on the right to marry.� Hawaii is a popular location for destination weddings, with couples from all over the world bringing friends and family to the islands to witness their nuptials on a sandy shore. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, commercial recreational beach activities were largely unregulated, the ruling says, resulting in congestion of some public beach-

In 2008, the state began requiring permits for commercial weddings. The permit fee is 10 cents per square foot of beach area, with a minimum of $20 per event. Liability insurance is also required. The requirements prompted a lawsuit by Pastor Laki Kaahumanu and a group of Maui wedding planners, who argued they violate the First Amendment. The wedding planners complained that the rules hurt business, especially with the rising costs of insurance.

Flytraps: Man caught up in hobby Continued from Page B1
its scientific name as Dionaea muscipula, is slow to mature, taking about five years from seed to flowering. “That’s probably why they’re a good candidate for tissue culturing because tissue culturing speeds up the process by about 10 times,” Gipson said. “It’s the fast track to getting mature plants by offering the plants a near perfect environment without any of the stresses it would normally be associated with out in the wild. There’s no disease, no viruses, no bacteria, no fungi, no winds or wildfires, no insects or animals that a plant has to constantly fight in nature to survive and grow.” The rare plant that is only found in the wild today in swamps and bogs of South Carolina and North Carolina have evolved in the nutrient-poor environments by surviving on flying insects and arthoprods. Down in his homemade lab, Gipson sterilizes his tools with red hot heat and an expensive laminar flowhood purifies the air, creating a soft breeze for his tissue cultures of “absolutely pure air,” free of bacteria and germs. The process of tissue culturing allows Gipson to grow what would otherwise take five years in the wild in only 14 or so months, he said. The plants grow inside small, sealed vessels filled with the nutrients and sucrose needed to flourish. Additionally, plant tissue culturing also allows the horticulturist to grow exact replicas — clones — of different varieties of Venus flytraps, and many more than could ever survive in the wild. “If I was to put a single seed in the proper soil and water it good, I’d get one plant. Instead, I take a piece of tissue of a plant, and how many hundreds do you want? In 18 months, I could have 10,000 identical plants — identical — true to the strain.” What’s more, Gipson learned all of this himself. “The Internet and read. Read, read, read,” he said. “I’ve only been doing it three years, and it’s only in the past year that I’ve been wildly successful at it. It took two years of constant research and trial and error and money to learn it, and I just had to take good notes, and experimentation until I found what they’re happiest on.”
Preying on pests The Venus flytraps grown by the gemologist are sold wholesale to vendors in California and Texas, and they in turn retail the carnivorous plants to their own customers worldwide. However, Gipson also likes to sell them out of his jewelry store to curious customers or other passersby who he can pass his love for the living organisms on to. Earlier this week, inside the jewelry shop at 321 N. Main St., a couple of the Venus flytraps thriving
Learn more about Venus flytraps The High Plains Horticultural Society is scheduled to meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Finney County Extension Office, 501 S. Main St. Gary Gipson, owner of Gipson Diamond Jewelers, will give a presentation on one of the plant kingdom’s most fascinating plants: the Venus flytrap. He will discuss its origins, how they lure, trap and digest their prey, and the proper, but easy, way to care for the plant to keep it healthy for years. Specimens will be on display and offered for sale. The public is invited to attend. For more information, call the horticultural society at 275-5976. Or, visit Gary Gipson’s website at http://www.flytrapculture.com/ to learn more.
A Low Giant Venus flytrap “catches” a fly Wednesday and begins to close for a carnivorous feeding. under lights already had caught and began digesting some flying bugs between their leaves, which shut close in tenths-of-seconds thanks to a water pressure mechanism. “Flies, spiders, ants, virtually anything that can fit in it. It’s not a picky eater,” he said. “Mine catches everything, centipedes and even baby frogs. They can get big enough. Another misconception is that they can grow big enough to eat your chihuahua. Now that’s just never happened,” he said and laughed. The plants actually lure insects and other bugs by secreting a nectar that flies can “smell from blocks away,” as Gipson put it. “Once it’s lured ‘em in, there’s three to five trigger hairs on each side of the inside of the leaf. When the fly’s leg or wing or any other part of the insect while it’s being distracted drinking this wonderful liquor it’ll inadvertently hit one of these trigger hairs,” he said. “Now hitting it once — this is the amazing part — will not trigger the trap. What if it’s just a little gnat? What if it’s not worth its trouble? It exerts a lot of the plant’s energy to close that trap for that tiny meal. So it starts a time clock. That insect has 20 more seconds of enjoyment before hitting another hair or hitting the same trigger hair. If it hits it in 20 seconds, then ‘Boom!’” Once it closes, it doesn’t close fully, he also said. It forms what Gipson called “jail bars” that leaves gaps for very, very small insects to escape. But the larger ones are completely trapped, fidget wildly to escape, and thus triggers the plant to begin digestion of its animal prey. The closed leaves that seal over the span of several minutes form a “stomach,” and the digestion is catalyzed by enzymes secreted by inside glands of the plant. “The reason it became carnivorous is because it grew in very poor quality soil, mainly just peat and
sand in boggy areas of North and South Carolina where they’re found today. Another big misconception is that they’re from some steamy jungle in the Amazon,” Gipson said. “Also, one of the reasons they’re endangered is because you can’t just take ‘em and transplant ‘em in Garden City — the wrong soil. The requirement on their soil is very strict because if the soil has any nutrients at all, it can be
harmful for the plants. They’re adapted to sterile conditions — that’s why they became carnivorous in the first place.” While growing them outside their native environment may be complex, they’re relatively easy to take care of, Gipson added. “I’m a jeweler first, and this is just a hobby, but it’s the first hobby I’ve found that can actually pay for itself. ... I’m definitely not getting rich doing this,”
he said. “It’s also a family affair. My son, Jason, and wife, Jaylene, both help me, and it’s something we do together.” Gipson also said he saves the largest or coolest-looking plants to sell out of his Main Street store to individuals customers. For each $10 plant he sells in a stadium cup — the plants have a deep root system — a care sheet with watering and lighting tips is provided. References to the broad-
way show turned movie “Little Shop of Horrors” doesn’t offend or phase the plant lover. In the show, a hapless florist shop worker raises a Venus flytrap-type plant into a plant that feeds on human flesh and blood. “Whatever gets the word out,” Gipson said in response. “I’m all for awareness. I want people to like these plants, and not just ‘cuz I sell them, I just have a passion for ‘em.”

Lace-up braces prevent ankle sprains DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I played organized sports in high school, and I have been active in many sports since. I am now 27. My huge problem is my ankles. I have sprained an ankle yearly, and sometimes it has happened twice in one year. It can be either the right or the left ankle. An orthopedic doctor examined me but couldn’t find anything wrong. I used to tape my ankles before playing. It didn’t help. I also have bought shoes that cover my ankles. That didn’t work either. Can you suggest anything? — T.O. Your ankle ligaments must have some inherent weakness. Ligaments are tough tissues that keep bones aligned and joints stable. A sprain is a ligament that has been stretched past is capacity to rebound to its normal state or one that has been torn. Tears come as partial or complete. You can recognize a serious sprain by the enormous swelling of the joint, severe bruising and the inability of the joint to support body weight. The highest risk for having a repeat sprain is having had one in the
past. Your record puts you at the highest risk level. Ordinary taping of ankles doesn’t do much to prevent sprains. In about 10 minutes the tape has loosened. In 30 minutes, it provides little to no support. Unless you constantly reapply tape, it’s not going to do much for you. Lace-up ankle braces provide excellent reinforcement to the ankle ligaments. Investing in a good pair will greatly reduce your risk for suffering another sprain. You find them in sporting-goods stores. I like the McDavid Ultralight 195 ankle brace, which is widely used. I’m sure there are other equally good braces. This one happened to catch my attention. DEAR DR. PHIL: I have been taking atenolol for about five years because I had attacks of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, and my blood pressure is a little high. If I work out on my LifeCycle within 12 hours of taking the pill, I can reach only a difficulty level of six, and I can get
my heart rate only to 120. If 26 hours have passed since taking my pill, I can reach a difficulty level of eight and get my heart rate up to 150. Does a workout done within 12 hours of taking the pill do any good for me? — M.P. I’m Paul, not Phil. Atenolol (Tenormin) is a beta blocker. Among the many effects of beta blockers is slowing of the heart, especially the exercising heart, and lowering blood pressure. As long as atenolol is in your blood and circulating, you won’t be able to get your heart beating to your training level. You still benefit from the exercise. You’re doing the same amount of work. You can’t use heartbeat to gauge the intensity of exercise. You can judge how hard you’re exercising while on a beta blocker by using perceived exertion, an estimate you make about your exercise’s intensity based on how you feel. If exercise feels “somewhat hard” to you, your corre-
Becker’s Bridge
sponding heart rate off the pill would be 120 to 130. If you feel the exercise is “hard,” the corresponding heart rate off the pill is 140 to 150. If you find the exercise “very hard,” then the corresponding heart rate is 160 or greater. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Re: lactic acid — it’s a good thing. You suggested otherwise. — W.H. Blood lactic acid used to be thought of as a bad thing. It was considered a waste product that rose when an athlete was getting too little oxygen to support the intensity of exercise. Now it’s not thought of as a waste product. It’s an important ingredient in the production of muscles’ energy. Furthermore, it participates in the synthesis of glucose and in restoring muscle sugar, glycogen. Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Parents creating problems Are two better than one? 8 by manipulating daughter Dear Annie: I am an only child who was reared by loving but extremely controlling parents. They tried to dictate my attire, my friends and my opinions. I moved away and married, but things have only gotten worse. I considered moving home to help them, as they are getting older. My husband was skeptical. He’s seen me cry from the guilt trips my parents have put on me and has heard the bigoted remarks about my mixed-race grandchildren. I found an online listing for a fixer-upper and asked my folks to see whether it was worthwhile. When we drove to my hometown, I discovered that my father was already working on the yard and dealing with a Realtor. But the place was a wreck, and the backyard pool looked like the Loch Ness monster resided there. Repairs would cost at least $50,000. I knew this wasn’t the house for me. Meanwhile, my father pointed his finger in my face and dared me to back out of the deal he had arranged. And then he said, in front of my husband, that I should buy the house myself and let my husband and kids make their own way in the world. That evening, my parents railed at me about my daughter’s mixed-race children,
Dear Heloise: I am writing to suggest adopting two dogs, if you can afford it. I always had one dog at a time and never thought about the dog being lonely all day, with nothing to do but eat and sleep. I was at work, so the dog was alone. No wonder I would get such a great greeting when I came home! My friend was given a dog when she already had a dog. She said it was such a difference! The dogs are both female, about the same age, and they do everything together. They play, eat and spend lots of time together. She said she would never have just one dog again. — Dorothy J., Youngstown, Ohio If you can manage it, two dogs are a good fit. Check your shelters and rescue groups to find two of a kind! — Heloise

saying they would never be allowed to visit. They told me I needed to dump my old friends so they could introduce me to better ones. My mom was busy trying to get me jobs I didn’t want and told me I was unappreciative of their efforts. I decided that I could not live like this, and we left. My parents were furious and haven’t spoken to me in six months. My cards, gifts and emails go unanswered. I am miserable, and I know this is exactly how they want me to feel. My question is: Do I still try to be the better person and send a Father’s Day gift? — Sad Dear Sad: Your parents sound manipulative and difficult, and we’re impressed that you turned out to be so well-adjusted. You don’t owe your father a gift, but would it make you feel better to send something anyway? We suggest you handle future communications in whatever way gives you peace of mind. You have tried to please your parents and discovered that it is impossible. It’s OK to please yourself.

Cobweb brush D ear Heloise: I buy numerous toilet brushes at the dollar store when I’m there. I keep an ample supply in the garage, and I use them on sticky cobwebs! I go around the outside and inside of my house, brushing them off the bricks, eaves and corners of windows. The toilet brush is rough enough in texture to snag the cobweb, but not rough enough to mar the walls or paint, and they are very inexpensive. — Cindy, via email

Difficulty Level Solution in next edition
Sudoku is a number-placing puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with several given numbers. The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the empty squares so that each row, each column and each 3x3 box contains the same number only once. The difficulty level of the Conceptis Sudoku increases from Monday to Saturday.
Easy almonds Dear Heloise: Here’s a hint that others might like: Sometimes I have trouble chewing nuts. I toss a couple of cups of almonds in the blender and grind them up. Then I use them in all kinds of ways: in cereal, oatmeal, cake batter, pudding, smoothies, burgers — you name it. — Elsie in Port St. Lucie, Fla.
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.

DAY IN THE STARS
Jacquelline Bigar King Features
with the one you love.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You might have a slew of plans, but for some reason you want to quiet down the noise of partying and visiting. You could decide to watch a good ballgame, or curl up with a great book. As a result, you’ll feel refreshed and great. Tonight: Vanish.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH It will be close to impossible to settle down, so don’t even try. If you would like to give a child extra attention, now is the time. You both could give in to some wild impulsiveness. Do not forget a special loved one who appreciates one-on-one time. Tonight: Dote and be doted on.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might need to retreat after an important meeting or gettogether. You could feel as if you need some downtime, but you -- the Bull -- will revitalize before you know it. An artsy friend could play into your plans. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might be slow to get started today. Kick back and enjoy yourself with a child or loved one. You might prefer not to have a big audience. Someone clearly sees you as being very special and is putting you on a pedestal. Tonight: You know how to make the night special.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Use the morning for important long-distance calls. You might find yourself making plans for a trip before you know it. Visit with an older relative or friend in the afternoon. Obviously, this person enjoys your visit. You actually feel great, too. Tonight: Out.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Use the daylight hours for important communication. You will be far more satisfied if you do. By the afternoon, you’ll receive an abundance of invitations wherever you are. Whether you are off at a ballgame or at a flea market makes no difference. Tonight: Let the games being.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH What might be considered a fantasy could be instrumental in your plans today and this weekend. A risk no longer carries the same heaviness with it. You are becoming more willing to toss yourself into life. Listen to your inner voice. Tonight: You know what to do.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH While you have time, shift your budget around and make sure everything is in order. You get an invitation to just hang out. This doesn’t seem demanding, but it could be costly. A conversation enlightens you to a problem. Tonight: Hang out.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Nothing seems very different at the present moment, other than most of the people around you acting unusually congenial. In fact, others willingly go along with your wishes. Spend some quality time with a loved one. You know how important this act is to the relationship. Tonight: Make it romantic. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Be your efficient self in the morning. You will need to clear out certain errands in order to enjoy yourself. After you do, relax and decide to join a loved one, and a good time will be had by all. Let your instincts come into play. Tonight: Be
BIZARRO
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You could be somewhat frayed and exhausted by midday. Slow down, as you might not have a choice. A conversation with someone who is the apple of your eye makes you smile from ear to ear. You are reading the tea leaves correctly. Tonight: Indulge a little. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Play it low-key in the morning. If you can sleep in, do so. The Moon slides into your sign midday, and suddenly you cannot believe all the activity going on around you. Requests or needs that stem from your immediate circle also need to be honored. Tonight: Wherever you want to be.

Thank you, alumni and friends of Fort Hays State University. “The economy had collapsed a year earlier, and the nation was still reeling. Fort Hays State University was growing, but declining state support threatened our future. In September 2009 we launched the Cornerstone Campaign to raise $60 million for new scholarships, endowed faculty positions, enhanced research, departmental projects, athletic programs, technology upgrades and renovations.” – Dr. Edward H. Hammond President, Fort Hays State University
You heard the call. Thank you on behalf of the state of Kansas and Fort Hays State University. Our largest fundraising effort ever, which was led by the FHSU Foundation, has been a great success. The goal to raise $60 million by 2012 has arrived ahead of time and above expectations. The Cornerstone Campaign has raised $68,743,800. Nothing is more vital to the continuing economic turnaround in Kansas and the nation than higher education, which provides the trained workers to drive innovation and create new enterprises. The Cornerstone Campaign was needed to meet budgetary challenges and to accomplish the educational goals at FHSU for the coming years.

How a radiant barrier works What makes radiant barrier foil effective in reducing energy bills? The answer is simple: a radiant barrier blocks heat from entering or escaping an area. If you use a sunshield for your windshield then you have firsthand experience with a radiant barrier. Radiant barrier material is much like the foil wrap we use in our kitchen, except professional grade radiant foil is a much stronger and tear-proof. Aluminum is used because it reflects radiant heat the same way tin foil keeps your turkey from burning on thanksgiving. With a house in the summertime the foil acts like a shade over the home reducing heat gain. In the winter, the foil works to keep the heat inside, reducing heat loss and making the interior more comfortable and energy efficient. By installing a radiant barrier, the radiant heat that would normally be absorbed by your attic insulation is now reflected away back out through your roof. Although you cannot see radiant heat, you feel it, even without touching the heat source. For example, if you have a hot skillet on the stove and you put your hand above the skillet, you will feel the heat from the skillet without actually touching it - that is radiant heat. Radiant heat travels at the speed of light until the heat is either absorbed or reflected. A dark roof absorbs almost all the sun’s radiant energy and can easily reach 170˚F on a hot, sunny day. The heat is then re-radiated in all directions (including your attic). Once the heat has radiated into your attic, the heat begins to warm the insulation at your ceiling. Eventually the insulation becomes over heated and your home begins to heat up too. With a radiant barrier most of the heat is reflected and your attic insulation remains cool, and, thus your home does too. Radiant barrier foil insulation reflects about 97% of the radiant energy that hits it. Beware of the claims some companies make promising a 3050% savings by installing radiant barrier foil attic insulation. Our investigation shows that savings are more likely to be in the 10-25% range, with some cases saving up to 30%. Without a complicated and expensive heat load analysis it is difficult to really project savings. Be realistic in your expectations, the larger roof you have the bigger percentage impact radiant barrier will have because you have a larger area to reflect the heat. If the heat never gets inside in the first place, then you don’t have to pay to get rid of it. It really is that simple. Here are a few more simple tips to add to your plan of increasing your homes overall energy efficiency: • air seal the home • seal and insulate the ductwork • install a radiant barrier • have the A/C system checked and cleaned • change furnace filters monthly • increase attic ventilation • add more attic insulation For more home improvement tips and information, visit our web site www.onthehouse.com or call our listener hot line 24/7 at 1-800-737-2474 (Ext 59).

plants are evaporating away any surplus moisture. “Once cacti are established, they don’t need any extra watering and only a little supplemental watering when it’s extremely hot and dry,� said David Salman, founder and chief horticulturist for High Country Gardens, an online and mail-order company in Santa Fe, N.M. “I do give them some organic fertilizers — particularly if I’m trying to optimize their flowering and accelerate their growth. Cacti don’t react well to chemicals that people commonly use throughout their landscapes.� Calhoun also recommends integrating cacti with other plants. “That’s

Colorado and as far north as Canada’s Northwest Territories,� Calhoun said. “There’s a great diversity of cold-hardy cactus to be had.� Cacti are succulents, native to the New World. Approximately 250 of the recognized 3,000 species are found in North America. If you’re going to plant cacti, put temperaturetested plants, cuttings or seeds — preferably those native to your area — in places with Southern exposures, if possible. Give them at least six hours of sun per day. Provide a bed of 8 to 12 inches of sandy soil, supplemented by granite or gravel mulch. Be stingy about watering, particularly in autumn when the

Landscaping with cactus has been an acquired taste for many gardeners, but it appears the appetite for the robust plants is growing. Lingering drought, watering bans and low-maintenance requirements are making cacti more popular. Their striking flowers, unusual shapes and longevity add to the appeal.“There’s a high reward ratio with cactus,� said Scott Calhoun, author of “The Gardener’s Guide to Cactus� (Timber Press, 2012). “Take the aesthetics alone. They’re extraordinarily beautiful. Even when they’re out of flower, they have graceful patterns on them.�Calhoun, who lives in Tucson, Ariz., said he has encountered enthusiasm for cacti even in areas where people can’t easily grow them, such as Japan, Thailand and the Czech Republic. “They simply put them in pots and haul them in and out,� he said.Cacti can live for decades, a real value, Calhoun said. “Some of these plants you can pass down to your kids and your kids can pass them down to their kids.�They also are durable, surviving in temperatures ranging from 100 degrees above zero to 40 below. “They’re known to grow above the 14,000-foot level on mountains in
Copper will be taking the stage through summer and into fall. Designers like the crossover aspect of the material; it’s at home in a traditional living space as well as a modern one. Dutch designer David Derksen of Rotterdam uses copper foil to craft a delicate, quilted-face cabinet perched on high legs, and faceted pendant lights. David Shefa goes in a different direction: He uses galvanized iron and zinc-coated steel plumbing pipes to craft industrialvibe table, desk and floor lamps. “By using an unexpected material, we achieve a new ‘out of the box’ design and get a chance to tell a different story,� Shefa says of his lamps, which are whimsical, functional art.

To meld a hefty hunk of steel, brass or iron into anything at all requires heat, brawny machines and dangerous tools. To turn it into a beautiful piece of furniture requires a real craftsman. One of metal’s advantages is its longevity, so sourcing recycled materials is something many of these designers do. The appeal of their modern pieces is the link they forge between a sweaty, gritty, centuries-old craft skill and sophisticated contemporary design. Furniture designer Florian Roeper is one of a group of design crafters who work out of the decommissioned Alameda, Calif., Naval Station where World War II airmen once tested and repaired jet engines. “The Naval Station’s been a wonderful place for artisans like me. It gives me a lot of actual and mental space,� Roeper says. “It’s peaceful and inspiring to look out over San Francisco Bay, and we don’t have any of the city hustle and bustle. I’ve always had a physical and
of creating a shape, getting the texture I want, the finish color,� he says. His “Living in Harmony� collection uses blackened iron, bronze, and rusted steel to create sculptural, armillary-style lighting fixtures and edgy furniture. He plays with dimension in a Mondrian-esque mirror and a side table perched on staggered metal shapes. London-based furniture designer Jonathan Krawczuk experiments with the molecular composition of steel through a bowl that represents carbon and iron atoms in a 3-D visual that’s especially striking in bright primary colors. His Tarantula collection of powder-coatedsteel, spidey-legged tea lights is startling, and his Op-Art-inspired Cubic Bowl is functional sculpture.

GCCC women’s rodeo ready for College National Finals competition By ADAM HOLT
aholt@gctelegram.com
For the second straight year, the Garden City Community College women’s rodeo team is in the College National Finals Rodeo. And for the second straight year, coach Jim Boy Hash isn’t quite sure what his outlook is. “I don’t know,” he said with a laugh. “Probably the same as last year — cautiously optimistic. “I think we’ve got a good shot,” he added. “Compared to last year, I think we’ve got just as good of a chance. I mean, who knows. With rodeo, like I always say, it boils down to the draw. Hopefully we can get lucky and draw good — that’s
the main part of it.” The Lady Broncbusters are in Casper, Wyo., from Sunday to Saturday, by virtue of finishing second in the Central Plains region standings behind Southwest Oklahoma State. Sophomore Emily Miller, who finished as the top allaround performer in the region, is joined by freshmen Shelby Leonhard and Mercedes Trenary. Miller will compete in barrel racing, goat tying and breakaway roping; Leonhard and Trenary will compete in goat tying. Miller received byes in barrel racing and goat tying by virtue of her regular season finish, and instead of bringing a fourth athlete, Hash opted to use Miller in breakaway roping, which counts as another
entry. “It’s just a decision I had to make,” Hash said. “I could have went with any other girl on our roster. But I think Emily deserved the opportunity to have a better opportunity to win the all-around.” Miller likely has a good shot to finish high in barrel racing, her best event. She finished third in average in the event in last year’s national finals, and enters this year’s competition ranked sixth, after finishing first in the Central Plains region. “She has a good shot there,” Hash said. “Emily’s competed on the big stage enough that pressure, I don’t think, will get to her. She’s smart, she’ll take care of business. I think her
barrel racing will be tough, the main concern will be her horse, staying down to earth; he gets pretty excited. This will be the biggest stage he’s been on. So that’ll be the interesting part there, as far as her barrel racing horse.” Miller has been using a new barrel racing horse this year, which is why that’s Hash’s biggest worry in the event. The Ingalls native finished second in the region in goat tying, but was not in the top 15 in breakaway roping. She enters nationals ranked 10th in all-around. And while Miller has experience from going to the national finals rodeo last year, it will be the first trip for Leonhard and Trenary. That’s still not a huge
worry for Hash, though. “Yeah, them two, they’ve both been to the national high school finals, they’ve both been to some pretty large youth rodeos,” he said. “They’ll be just fine as well. The thing with their event, using them both in the goat tying, there’s some draw to it. I think with the goat tying, that’s the one girls’ event — barrel racing, it’s a lot of your horse, but sometimes in barrel racing you can try too hard, just like with goat tying — as long as they don’t draw anything too terrible, and don’t make any bad mistakes, they’ll be fine.” Trenary was 14th in the Central Plains region in goat See Busters, Page D3
Being bullish Oklahoma pair assume lead in BED rodeo event. By BRETT MARSHALL
bmarshall@gctelegram.com
Friday was a good night to be from Oklahoma, as the 2012 Beef Empire Days PRCA Rodeo produced another set of top performances on the second of three nights of competition at the Finney County Fairgrounds Arena. It was especially good for Austin Ambrose of Fletcher, Okla., and Trevor Kastner of Ardmore, Okla., who garnered 82-point rides on Hell Cat and Fighting Sioux in the bull riding competition to finish with a share of the lead heading into tonight’s third and final night of the BED Rodeo. For Ambrose, the ride proved to be every bit as one could imagine with a bull named Hell Cat. “It felt really good,” Ambrose said of the ride that was judged at the end of eight seconds. “The bull kinda beat me around the corner a little bit and my caught back wasn’t so good. But heck, he was just a good one to have.” Ambrose said he was just fortunate to hang on for the 8-second ride and move into a share of the lead with Kastner, the No. 11-ranked bull rider in the PRCA current world standings. “I was just lucky enough to get him rode,” Ambrose said. “He kinda smoothed out a little bit. I had a really good seat on him. I gave him a couple of my shots. The hard part was getting off.” Kastner, on the other hand, continued his strong performance of the 2012 season with a solid ride on Fighting Sioux, another one of the young, upand-coming bulls of the Korkow Rodeos stock producers. “Solid, solid,” Kastner said. “Pretty tough one to stay on, but I was able to stay with him
right to the last second. Just glad to get a good ride in.” Nebraskan Buck Moon moved into a tie for third with first-night co-leaders Josh Koschel of Nunn, Colo., and Danny Schlobohm of LaMonte, Mo., with a score of 81 points. Two Freedon, Okla., women took over the top spots in the ladies breakaway roping to knock out first-night leaders Ginalee Tierney of Broken Bow, Neb., and Brittany Young of Buffalo, Okla., both of whom had times of 3.1 seconds. Megan Swayze recorded a time of 2.8 seconds while fellow Freedom resident Randus London was clocked in 2.9 seconds. Clint Cannon of Waller, Texas, was the lone rider in the bareback to move into the top eight when he scored an 82-point ride on Inky. Travis Sheets of Hyannis, Neb., was able to register an 81-point ride on River Rat in the saddle bronc event and now shares second place with Jeremy Ray Malancon of Huntsville, Texas, while Tyrell Smith of Great Falls, Mont., continues to lead with 82 points. Jared Keylon of Uniontown, Kan., retained his lead in the bareback with 86 points. In the ladies barrel race, there was no change in the top 12 positions as Shada Brazile retained her lead from Wednesday morning’s run in the slack when she posted a time of 17.27 seconds. It will take a time of 17.71 seconds or faster to move into the money positions when tonight’s final group of barrel racers compete. The Steer Wrestling event saw Kyle Callaway of Gillette, Wyo., gain the third spot with a time of 4.0 seconds while Justin Weichel of Cordell, Okla., moved into a tie for eighth place in the tie down roping competition. Team roping proved to be a good night for three sets of partners. Erich Rogers of Round Rock, Ariz., and Korty Koontz of Sudan, Texas, registered a time of 4.9 seconds

Jeremy Wiebener of Alva, Okla., and Darin Suit of Ames, Okla., moved into a tie for seventh place with a 5.7 clocking. They share that spot with Landon McClaugherty of Tilden, Texas, and Larry Hammons of San Antonio. For Lakin High School graduate and Holcomb resident Dalton Davis, Friday’s ride in the Saddle Bronc event ended with disappointment as he just missed the 8-second count while atop Mrs. Z, a colt from one of Korkow’s top saddle broncs, Queenie. “I’m just trying to hit as many rodeos as I can,” said Davis, who is in his rookie season as a bronc rider. “I’m just trying to make the circuit (Prairie) finals. It’s my first year of pro rodeoing.” See BED, Page D3

Celtics, Heat set for Game 7 to decide Eastern Conference title MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James has no idea what he will do for an encore. He offered a simple vow instead. “I won’t regret Game 7,” James said. There may not have been another sentiment the Miami Heat would have preferred hearing more as they prepare to host the Boston Celtics Saturday night. James is coming off a seasonsaving 45-point, 15-rebound, fiveassist effort to force Game 7. The winner will head to Oklahoma City to start the NBA finals on Tuesday night and the loser heads into an offseason of decided uncertainty. “Win, lose or draw, I’m going to go in with the mindset like I’ve had this whole season,” James said. “And you know, we’ll see what happens.” A series that has gone back and forth — Miami won the first two games, then lost three straight before James carried the Heat to a win that denied Boston
Associated Press
Boston guard Rajon Rondo, center, drives against Miami’s Shane Battier, left, and Mario Chalmers on Thursday during the first quarter of Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals. the East crown on Thursday night — comes down to an ultimate game. For the Heat, it’s a chance to play for the ring they couldn’t
win last year in the opening act of the Big Three era. For the Celtics, it’s probably one last chance for their current core to reach the NBA’s mountaintop.
“This team has been about adversity all year long, you know, so this is not going to be nothing new,” Celtics forward Paul Pierce said. “It’s been tough for us all year long to get to the point where we would be at, and why wouldn’t it be tough now? Winning is hard. Trying to get to the finals is hard. And this is as hard as it gets. And I think we are prepared for it.” It’s the 111th time a best-ofseven NBA series has gone the distance. Home teams are 88-22 in the previous matchups. That means little to Heat coach Erik Spoelstra. The last time Boston was on his team’s court, the Celtics sputtered offensively and still managed to leave with a win, taking Game 5 to put Miami on the brink. The Heat are still there. Only this time, so are the Celtics. “Both teams will come out with an appropriate level of urgency,” Spoelstra said. “And that’s the beauty of a Game 7. We fought and earned the right to have this on our home court.
We don’t take that for granted and we don’t assume that that will take care of anything. We’re going to have to play, compete at the same urgency level we played last night. And we’ll also have to play well and probably have to beat them when they’re at their best.” If James has the same game he had Thursday, the Celtics will have to beat him at his best. The reigning MVP put on a show in Game 6. The expression on James’ face barely changed all night — after makes, after misses, even after a drink got dumped on him while leaving the court not long after the final buzzer of Miami’s 98-79 win. He made 19 of 26 shots, that 73 percent success rate the best he ever posted in a playoff game. His 30 first-half points matched an NBA season high. His 45 points were second-most in Heat playoff history. “Sometimes superstars get hot,” Pierce said. See Game 7, Page D3

Bedard pitches Pirates to 4-2 interleague win over Royals PITTSBURGH (AP) — Rod Barajas went to his “dance moves.” Pedro Alvarez deftly waited out the perfect moment to take off in a sprint. Both scored on plays that should have been outs. Talk about a lift for the Pittsburgh Pirates, who rank last in the majors in runs but just keep winning anyway. Bedard pitched seven solid innings, Neil Walker had three hits and Pittsburgh beat the Kansas City Royals 4-2 on Friday night for its 10th victory in the past 13 games. The 250-pound Barajas scored the Pirates’ second run when he used a nifty slide to avoid the tag from Humberto Quintero following Clint Barmes’ single in the second. Alvarez made it 4-2 an inning later when he took off from third after Jose Tabata was picked off first but got into a rundown. “These are the small things we have to do to win ballgames as a team that’s not going to go out and hit three-run homers every night,” Walker said. Bedard (4-6) allowed two runs and five hits as
Pittsburgh captured the opening game of a series for the sixth consecutive time. The Pirates (30-27) also moved three games over .500 for the first time this season and trail NL Central-leading Cincinnati by two games after taking two of three from the Reds in their previous set. “Dance moves, I think,” is how the 36-year-old Barajas described his dive to the inside of home, roll over and lunge to extend his finger tips to the plate. “Unbelievable,” Walker deadpanned. “Everyone knows he’s one of the fastest guys on the team, but when you slide like that, you’re not going to get thrown out too many times at home.” Pirates players laughed in the dugout. These are heady times for a team that has endured a major North American sports record 19 consecutive losing seasons. Alvarez waited to take off for home until Royals first baseman Billy Butler was running toward second and about to release a throw to get Tabata. “I think if both teams had it to do over, we’d both like to perform it better,”

Pittsburgh’s Rod Barajas, left, dives for home plate Friday while trying to avoid the tag from Kansas City catcher Humberto Quintero as he scores from second on a hit by Pirates’ Clint Barmes in the second inning of a 4-2 Pirates win. Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said of the caught stealing and rundown. “But we were able to steal a run right there.” Bedard struck out five and walked three before Jason Grilli worked a perfect eighth and Joel Hanrahan retired the side in order in the ninth for his 16th save in 18 opportunities. Yuniesky Betancourt
drove in a run and scored for the Royals, who have lost four of six. Playing its first interleague road game, Kansas City had three players out of position. Butler, the regular designated hitter who leads the team with 11 homers, made his third start at first. First baseman Eric Hosmer was in right field and Jeff Francoeur moved from right to center.
Francoeur had three prior innings of experience in center, and Hosmer had never played right in the majors. All that shuffling had an effect on the game, too. Hosmer misplayed Barajas’ leadoff single in the second, allowing him to move up a base. Butler was prominent in the botched rundown. “It’s going to take them
a game or two to get acclimated because they’re playing out of position,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “Those plays hurt us early and we couldn’t get much offense going after that.” Garrett Jones doubled in Walker in the first, and Walker’s infield hit drove in Barmes to make it 3-0 in the second. Betancourt hit an RBI double in the third and scored on Mike Moustakas’ base hit to get the Royals within one. Luke Hochevar (3-7) remained winless in his past six outings, allowing four runs and nine hits in six innings. “Even though I gave up some runs early, I was able to keep my pitch count down and keep us in the game,” Hochevar said. NOTES: The Royals recalled 1B Clint Robinson to add an extra bench bat for the nine games in NL parks they have over the next 13 days. Robinson made his major league debut, striking out as a pinch hitter to end the game. LHP Ryan Verdugo was optioned to Triple-A Omaha.

Ryan Mims, Holdenville, Okla., moves from his horse to a steer to turn it to the ground Friday during the Beef Empire Days PRCA Rodeo’s steer wrestling at the Finney County Fairgrounds Arena.
Davis, who was a state wrestling medalist whiel at Lakin High School, said Mrs. Z was a pretty good horse to be atop as he made his first local appearance as a professional in front of many family members and friends. “He was real good, but they said I blew a stirrup just before the whistle,” Davis said of the split-second timing. “I didn’t think I did, but you can’t argue with them. I’m just trying to learn the ropes, get my name out there.” And while the ride had some added pressure with competing at home, Davis said he was just trying to find his way as a professional. “So far, nights like tonight, it’s not too fun if you’re that close,” he said. “If I’m able to ride broncs, be healthy, I’m just thankful. I felt a little bit more pressure. I really wanted to ride.” Davis will hit the road once again next week, heading to rodeos in Santa Fe and Clovis, N.M., as well as one in Weatherford, Texas. Final night action of the Beef Empire Days PRCA Rodeo will begin at 7 p.m. One of the featured rides tonight will be when No. 1ranked bull rider Cody Teel of Kountze, Texas, rides Magnum Force, one of the Korkow NFR bulls.

tying, while Leonhard was 15th. Hash said he’s not too worried about Leonhard, but is trying to make sure Trenary stays calm during her runs. “A lot of girls, when they come running in there, they’ll get to that goat so quick, it’s such a short pattern, w h e n they get off their horse, a lot of girls tend to run by the goat,” Hash said. “That’s what we’ve been trying really to drill into Mercedes’ head, is be sure to get off early and not run by him. Your horse doesn’t have to run down there like he’s in the Kentucky Derby. She has an old, slow horse — that’s kind of the ticket, be slow to be fast.” Leonhard, Miller and Trenary will all compete in goat tying
in the slack on Monday and Tuesday. Trenary will have her third go in the performance on Tuesday, while Leonhard and Miller will have their third go in the performance on Thursday. Miller will have her first two goes in breakaway roping in the slack on Sunday and Tuesday, then her third go in the performance on F r i d a y. Miller competes in her first go in barrel racing in the slack on Monday, her second on Tuesday, and her third, in the performance, on Friday. Hash said he isn’t worried about any of the girls being overwhelmed by the scope of the rodeo, which features many other events during the week. “They’re going to have fun, but they’re going to take care of business,” he said.
Game 7: Boston battles Miami for Eastern Conference crown Continued from Page D1
“He’s been playing unbelievable,” Heat guard Dwyane Wade said. “One of the best this league has ever seen,” Heat forward Chris Bosh said. Of course, if the Heat lose on Saturday, that performance will soon be forgotten. For the Celtics, this will be their seventh Game 7 in the last five years — they’re 4-2 in the previous ones, including a home
win over Philadelphia one round ago. James is averaging 34 points per game in the series, the Celtics are getting both outshot and outrebounded, their best shooter in Ray Allen has been slowed by ankle pain and Pierce is shooting 34 percent. Here they are, one win from the finals anyway, even after all that and getting written off plenty of times during the regular season. “Nothing’s been easy up until this point. You
know, can’t expect it now,” Celtics forward Kevin Garnett said. “It is what it is. We’re going to take these cards and play them. Lot of confident guys in here, lot of guys who’ve been through Game 7’s, lot of experienced guys. We’re going to lean on that. And we’re going to fight. A bunch of fighters in this locker room.” Rajon Rondo, who has either made or set up more than half of Boston’s baskets in the series, had similar senti-
ments. “It’s going to be a battle,” Boston’s point guard said. Celtics coach Doc Rivers told his team to pack for a weeklong trip starting Friday. If they win, they’ll go straight from Miami to Oklahoma City. “We have another opportunity,” Rivers said in Boston on Thursday night. “We get to play another game, Game 7. I would say most of the people in this room would
have said, ‘Wow, they’re going to get to Game 7, we’ll take it.’ That’s the way we have to view it. We won a game at theirs, they won here. Now we get to play for all the marbles.” Both sides are tired, beaten up, bruised. Bosh is working his way back into Miami’s rotation after missing nine games with a strained lower abdominal muscle. Pierce has a sprained knee ligament that he’s been playing on
for much of these playoffs. Wade has been coping with knee pain. Rondo’s troublesome elbow may be acting up again. The Celtics are dealing with age. The Heat are dealing with pressure. None of that will matter on Saturday night. “It’s going to be a tough one,” Wade said. “It’s going to be a tough one, Game 7. We look forward to it. I’m sure Boston will look forward to it as well. This is what NBA basketball is about.”
Pacquiao a changed man as he prepares for Bradley fight tonight LAS VEGAS (AP) — Manny Pacquiao barely escaped to fight another day, and would need 28 stitches to close the cut over his right eye. Juan Manuel Marquez had nearly ended his remarkable run, but that didn’t stop Pacquiao from singing at his post-fight concert and partying the night away with his huge entourage. He returns to the ring tonight, determined to show his last outing was nothing more than a fluke. Littleknown Timothy Bradley will be his opponent in a fight that could either end Pacquiao’s lucrative career or revitalize it. This time, though, there will be no concert, and no party. Win or lose, the only thing on Pacquiao’s postfight agenda is a Bible study
session and some time with his wife. He claims to be a changed man, and the people around him say he really is. What no one really knows, though, is how it will affect him in the ring, something that makes this fight a bit more intriguing than most. “It’s 100 percent good,” insists Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach. “He’s much more focused now. From all the distractions he had, the trade-off is unbelievable.” Oddsmakers aren’t so sure, making Pacquiao a relatively short 4-1 favorite against the unbeaten Bradley. He was a 7-1 pick against Marquez, but was lucky to come away with a majority decision in a fight that could have gone either way. Pacquiao said afterward
that he just had problems with the style of Marquez. Those close to him, though, said personal problems and marital discord troubled him through training camp all the way into the dressing room before the fight, when he was still so consumed by them that he failed to warm up properly. There will be no excuses this time out. Pacquiao knows he not only needs to win but to win impressively if he is to retain his spot alongside currently jailed Floyd Mayweather Jr. as one of the two best fighters in the world. “I want to prove that I’m still young and I can still fight,” Pacquiao said. “I feel I’m still hungry, I’m still OK.” Pacquiao risks a 15fight winning streak when
he defends his piece of the welterweight title against Bradley. He hasn’t lost in seven years and his recent fights have all been big payper-view events that made him millions. But the pressures of being at the top of his sport and both a national hero and congressman in the Philippines fueled a bloated lifestyle that couldn’t be sustained. Pacquiao gave up drinking, and he gave up gambling. He gave away his cockfighting ranch in the Philippines and sold his interest in a casino there. He found a spiritual adviser, and now spends his spare moments reading and discussing the Bible. Training in Los Angeles last week, Pacquiao seemed focused as he sparred six rounds with two sparring
partners. He dismissed concerns that his new dedication to religion would somehow make him less aggressive in the ring, and said he doesn’t feel like he’s lost any of his speed or his power at the age of 33. “This is my job,” he said. “I have a job to do in the ring. I’m not underestimating him at all.” Pacquiao weighed in Friday at the class limit of 147 pounds, while Bradley — who is noticeably more musclebound — weighed 146. It is the heaviest that Pacquiao has ever weighed for a fight. Bradley, a 140-pound champion moving up in weight for his biggest fight yet, is the kind of fighter who could give Pacquiao trouble. He fights going forward, isn’t afraid to mix it
up inside, and has yet to be beaten in 28 fights. Yet Roach sees him as a mediocre fighter with limited skills. He said if Pacquiao loses or doesn’t look good against Bradley he will tell him it is time to retire. Bradley hardly seems overwhelmed by the hype that surrounds his biggest fight ever. He freely talks about his game plan for beating Pacquiao, and the motivation that has helped him win fights when he was in trouble. The fight tops an undercard of a pay-per-view show that begins at 8 p.m. Promoter Bob Arum said the main event is scheduled for about 10:30 p.m., but will not begin until Game 7 between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat ends.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Djokovic vs. Nadal in historic French Open final PARIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Here comes the French Open final everyone expected and, except for other players, wanted: No. 1 Novak Djokovic, one victory from becoming the first man in 43 years to win four consecutive major championships, against No. 2 Rafael Nadal, one victory from becoming the only man to win seven titles at Roland Garros. Howâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that for high stakes? Djokovic is undefeated in his past 27 Grand Slam matches, which includes beating Nadal in the finals at Wimbledon in July, the U.S. Open in September, and the Australian Open in January. Nadal has won 51 of 52 career matches at the French Open; only he and Bjorn Borg have won the clay-court tournament six times. Never before have the same two men met in four Grand Slam finals in a row, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apt that no matter who wins Sunday, his achievement will be monumental. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have this golden opportunity to make history. This motivates me. It really inspires me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really grateful to be in this position, obviously,â&#x20AC;? said the 25year-old Djokovic, who owns five Grand Slam titles to Nadalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And look, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try to prepare for that match and get my hands on that trophy, if I can.â&#x20AC;? Wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easy, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for sure. Both Djokovic and Nadal breezed through their semifinals Friday. If this stage of a Grand Slam tournament is supposed to provide a challenge, it did not â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which probably isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all that stunning in Nadalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, but was rather striking when you consider Djokovic faced 16-time major champion Roger Federer and won 6-4, 7-5, 6-3 in a match that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really that close. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His mental state and preparation for this match was excellent,â&#x20AC;? said Djokovicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach, Marian Vadja, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and this has to happen against Rafa.â&#x20AC;? Nadal found himself flying by the seat of his pants â&#x20AC;&#x201D; OK, white shorts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on one point against No. 6 David Ferrer, somehow winning the exchange despite falling on his rump. Otherwise, he was completely in control en route to 6-2, 6-2, 6-1 victory.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m surprised,â&#x20AC;? said Toni Nadal, Rafaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uncle and coach, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because we were expecting a very difficult match against one of the best players in the world.â&#x20AC;? Make no mistake: Ferrer is a formidable opponent, not someone who got hot for a few weeks to sneak into the semifinals. He was playing in his third Grand Slam semifinal. He already won two clay-court titles this year. And it was Ferrer who upset Nadal in the 2011 Australian Open quarterfinals, stopping his bid for a fourth consecutive Grand Slam title â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the milestone Djokovic now seeks. Nadal won all 15 sets heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played this year at Roland Garros, losing only 35 games, the lowest total for anyone reaching a major final since Borg lost 31 on his way to winning the 1980 French Open. Nadal has won 71 of 72 service games, saving 18 of 19 break points. Pretty close to perfect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to talk about perfection, because that, my opinion, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist. You can always play better,â&#x20AC;? said the 26-year-old Nadal, whose only loss at the French Open came against Robin Soderling in the fourth round in 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, sure, I am very happy the way that I am playing. Probably today was my best match of the tournament.â&#x20AC;? With Ferrer serving at 1-1, 30all in the second set, Nadal produced a masterpiece, turning a gaffe into a highlight. During a point that lasted more than 30 shots, Nadalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feet slipped out from under him as he sprinted toward the net. On the slow-motion replay, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to see that his eyes never left the ball, even as he crashed to the court. Suddenly sitting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; yes, plopped on his backside, right there in the middle of the most important clay-court stadium in the world â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Nadal raised his left arm to slice a backhand drop shot that prolonged the point and drew Ferrer forward. As if that werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t impressive enough, Nadal popped up like a jack-in-the-box in time for the next shot, a volley-lob that arced over Ferrerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head and settled near the baseline. Ferrer,
no slouch himself in the speed department, got to the ball, but his forehand landed in the net. That gave Nadal a break point, and he converted it in much more conventional fashion, staying upright until Ferrer simply pushed a forehand long. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both of us were playing more or less the same type of tennis, but then he started to become more and more aggressive,â&#x20AC;? Ferrer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was nothing I could do to fight back.â&#x20AC;? Federer appeared to feel that way, too, particularly after Djokovic broke him four times in the second set. At the start of that set, Federer actually appeared to get going. He broke to go ahead 1-0 in a game that featured a particularly compelling, 38-stroke point. Federer hit a drop shot that Djokovic slid and stretched to get, the ball an inch or so off the ground; Federer replied with a lob that sent Djokovic sprinting to the baseline for a no-look, back-to-the-net, between-the-legs passing shot; Federer knocked home a volley winner. Djokovic, chest heaving, smiled as he went to towel off. A year ago in the French Open semifinals, Federer snapped Djokovicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 43-match winning streak in a four-set thriller. On Friday, Vajda explained afterward, Djokovic was determined to play â&#x20AC;&#x153;extremely patient ... not rushing.â&#x20AC;? Worked wonders. Increasingly confounded by his opponent and the swirling wind, Federer made a very unFederer-like 46 unforced errors. Djokovic made 17. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was struggling to sort of keep the ball in play,â&#x20AC;? said Federer, who is 30 and nearly 2 1/2 years removed from his most recent major championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re down two sets to love against Novak, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the same match anymore. He goes for broke and there is no more fear.â&#x20AC;? Asked to size up Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final, Federer didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I obviously pick Rafa,â&#x20AC;? Federer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the overwhelming favorite.â&#x20AC;? If Djokovic wins his first French Open final, he will join Don Budge in 1938, and Rod Laver
Associated Press
Serbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Novak Djokovic, left, and Switzerlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roger Federer meet at the net Friday after their semifinal match in the French Open in Paris. Djokovic won 6-4, 7-5, 6-3. in 1962 and 1969, as winners of four Grand Slam trophies in succession. Budge and Laver went 4 for 4 within a calendar year each time. Federer twice came close to doing what Djokovic hopes to accomplish: In 2006 and 2007, Federer entered the French Open final needing one win for a fourth consecutive major title. Federerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opponent each time? Nadal, naturally. One significant difference: Federer is 10-18 against Nadal, including 2-6 in Grand Slam finals; Djokovic is 14-18 overall against Nadal, but 3-1 in Grand
Slam finals. Djokovic won all six matches he played against Nadal in 2011, then made it seven straight with their 5-hour, 53-minute epic final at the Australian Open. Nadal, though, has won their two meetings since, both on clay in May. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot on the line. It always is, when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing finals of a Grand Slam,â&#x20AC;? Djokovic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Considering the matches that we played against each other in last 15 months, we expect another emotional match, another big challenge for both of us, fighting for one of the four biggest titles in our sport.â&#x20AC;?
Devils must rely on Rock to stay alive vs. Kings in Game 5 of finals NEWARK, N.J. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; There was a time when homeice advantage wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the New Jersey Devilsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best friend. If either the rival Rangers or Flyers were in New Jersey, there would be as many New York or Philadelphia jerseys in the crowd as Devilsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; colors. Not anymore, at least not in the playoffs this year. The Devils have been tough at the Prudential Center, known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Rock,â&#x20AC;? and they need one more big effort Saturday night in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup final to keep their championship dreams alive and prevent the Los Angeles Kings from capturing their first NHL title since coming into the league in 1967. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough task. The Kings havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost on the road since the playoffs started two months ago. They are 10-0, including two overtime wins here in Games 1 and 2. A bounce or two here or there, and New Jersey might be the one leading the best-of-7 series 3-1. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishful thinking for Devils fans. The reality is New Jersey has some momentum coming off a 3-1 win on Wednesday night, and they need to keep winning or else. New Jersey is 6-4 in the playoffs here after posting a 24-13-4 mark in the regular season. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten their fans behind them like never before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re winning, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the bottom line,â&#x20AC;? Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur said of the fan support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played hard and got some success. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard when you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win for our fans to be involved and do

New Jersey Devils goalie Martin Brodeur and teammate Marek Zidlicky defend against Los Angeles Kingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jarret Stoll Wednesday in the second period during Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals. what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to do, especially the last few years when we played the Rangers and Flyers (in the postseason). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough in this area to play some rivals if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have success, their fans take over the building. But we got the success this year and that made a big difference why we feel a lot more comfortable playing.â&#x20AC;? Coming into this season, the Devils had posted a 3-7 postseason mark at â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Rock,â&#x20AC;?
which opened for the 2007-08 season. Veteran defenseman Andy Greene said the Devils are just a better team overall this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think going into the playoffs we were playing good hockey,â&#x20AC;? Greene said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The few years before that, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to say we stumbled into the playoffs, but we probably werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t where we needed to be heading into the playoffs.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been playing the right way and the crowd has been great. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling their energy and feeding off it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been great.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to say whether the Kings notice the opposing crowd. They won all three games in Vancouver in the first round, two in St. Louis in the second and three in Phoenix in the third. They are 15-3 overall, with all three losses coming in potential seriesclinching Game 4s at home. Now they get another chance to win on the road. And this one will be the biggest of all for a franchise that had only made the Cup final once before: 1993, losing to Montreal in five games. Los Angeles goaltender Jonathan Quick, who might be the front-runner for the Conn Smythe Trophy as the postseason MVP, actually was funny when asked if he was familiar with the Prudential Center after two games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like any arena,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got about 18,000 people that want you to lose no matter where you go.â&#x20AC;? Forward Justin Williams said the team isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really focused on the arena. Just the task at hand and what the players have to do to accomplish it. He said thinking about winning the Cup now would be a distraction and that might have been one of the problems the team encountered in Game 4 on Wednesday. Williams is aware of the fans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You absolutely notice crowds,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crowds give you energy. They basically

carry the momentum in the games sometimes. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done a good job of handling it and not letting it affect us. I think crowds arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to take you out of a game but they are going to encourage you a little bit and get you revved up.â&#x20AC;? The odds are certainly against the Devils making a comeback. Only one NHL team has rallied from an 0-3 deficit in the finals to win. That was the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs against the Detroit Red Wings. Devils coach Peter DeBoer had an interesting take on his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen again,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So why not us? I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the approach. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to go 200 years without someone else doing it. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been long enough, it might as well be us.â&#x20AC;? The Kings also have an interesting take on their 3-1 lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This series, we could easily be down,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played our best hockey. We know that in our room. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obviously an advantage for us that we know we can be better in all facets of the game, not one little thing. We can be a lot better. We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shown them exactly what we are all about. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disheartening for us. The encouraging thing is we are up 3-1.â&#x20AC;? If a sixth game is necessary, it will be played on Monday night in Los Angeles. A deciding seventh game would be played Wednesday in New Jersey, if necessary. Until then, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now or never in Newark for the home team.

I’ll Have Another suddenly retired with injury NEW YORK (AP) — The Triple Crown curse lives. This time the horse didn’t even make it to the starting gate. I’ll Have Another’s bid for the first Triple Crown in 34 years ended stunningly Friday when the chestnut colt was retired on the eve of the Belmont Stakes with an injury to his left front tendon. “I’m afraid history is going to have to wait for another day,” said J. Paul Reddam, the colt’s owner. I’ll Have Another, who won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes with stirring stretch drives, was the 4-5 early favorite to win the Belmont and become the 12th Triple Crown winner and first since Affirmed in 1978. Instead, he’ll make one final trip to the racetrack with his jockey Mario Gutierrez to lead the other Belmont horses during Saturday’s post parade — no longer a prelude to greatness, but merely a wistful farewell. “He’ll be my hero forever,” a somber Gutierrez said. “What I’ll Have Another did for me is so amazing. He brought happiness to my life.” Always the longest and toughest of the Triple Crown events, the 1 1/2mile Belmont was instantly reduced to being just another big race. The favorite’s role fell to Dullahan, who ran third in the Derby and had been second in the morning line for the Belmont. He was made the 9-5 early choice. Trainer Doug O’Neill said I’ll Have Another was being retired because he developed swelling in his left front tendon that was the beginning of tendinitis. “This is extremely tough for all of us. It’s far from tragic but it’s extremely disappointing,” he said. O’Neill’s brother, Dennis, said it was hard to tell anything was wrong just by looking at the horse. “He looks great. He’s sound. He went great this morning. He looks super (but) you just can’t take a chance,” he said. “He’s too valuable of a horse and we love him to death like all

Trainer Doug O’Neill brings out I’ll Have Another, the Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner, for a news conference at Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y., on Friday. I’ll Have Another’s bid for a Triple Crown ended with the shocking news that the colt was out of today’s Belmont Stakes due to a swollen left front tendon. of them. You wouldn’t run a horse if you think something might happen.” The scratch comes a day before an estimated 100,000 fans were expected to converge on the track in hopes of seeing, at long last, a Triple Crown winner — a champion who would help resurrect a struggling racing industry. I’ll Have Another joined 11 other horses since Affirmed who won the Derby and the Preakness, but were unable to complete a Triple Crown sweep in the Belmont, extending the longest gap between Triple winners to 35 years. The colt also became the third winner of the first two legs who was unable to run in the finale; Burgoo King in 1932 and Bold Venture in 1936 were the others. “It’s like completely letting the air out of a balloon,” said Ken McPeek, who trains Belmont contenders Atigun and Unstoppable U. Dale Romans, who trains Dullahan, said: “This was going to be a special race, one of the biggest races of our time. I’d rather have him in there. It would have been something special to beat him.” Doug O’Neill said he first noticed something might be wrong with the colt Thursday, hours after
his usual morning gallop. “We prayed he kind of hit himself and that it was a little bit of skin irritation,” he told a horde of media gathered outside the detention barn at Belmont Park. O’Neill had called an audible Friday and taken his horse out to gallop at 5:30 a.m., three hours earlier than he had been working out in the days leading up to the race. He wanted to avoid the congestion created by all the Belmont horses going to the track at the same time. “I thought he looked great on the track,” he said, “and then cooling out, you could tell that swelling was back, and at that point I didn’t feel very good.” A veterinarian confirmed the diagnosis and suggested that O’Neill give the colt three to six months off before resuming training. But O’Neill said he and his brother, along with Reddam and his wife, were unanimous in deciding to retire the colt who had won four consecutive Grade 1 races, starting with the Santa Anita Derby in April. “I really thought he was going to run off tomorrow and really show something,” Reddam said. “So we were all a bit shocked, but we have to do what’s
best for the horse.” Dr. Larry Bramlage, oncall veterinarian for the Belmont, said it wouldn’t hurt I’ll Have Another to walk on the track “but would be a concern at a mile-and-a-half at full speed.” He compared the problem to an Achilles tendon injury, which usually keeps a person off his feet for six weeks. “This one to the horse is nowhere near that severity,” he said, “but it takes the same amount of time to rehab it.” Bramlage said it probably would take a year for the colt to recover. He added that a tendon in a racehorse is “more highly evolved” than anything in a human. O’Neill said I’ll Have Another would return to his home base at Betfair Hollywood Park in Inglewood, Calif., in the next few days. The injury underlines the fragility of these 1,100pound thoroughbreds, racing at speeds up to 40 mph. Other Triple Crown bids were foiled in odd ways, too. Big Brown was pulled up at the top of the stretch in the 2008 Belmont, mysteriously failing to finish the race; War Emblem nearly fell to his knees
coming out of the starting gate in 2002 and wound up eighth; Charismatic broke two bones in his left front leg with a quarter mile to go, but still finished third in 1999; Spectacular Bid stepped on a safety pin in his stall before the 1979 race and finished third; and Tim Tam ended up second in 1958 after running the final quarter-mile with a broken bone in his right front ankle. “You only get one chance to do this,” said four-time Belmont winner D. Wayne Lukas, who trains Belmont Stakes contender Optimizer. “From the standpoint of a purist, it’s a blow.” After talking to the media, O’Neill led I’ll Have Another out of the detention barn and walked him down a path toward the barn where the colt had stayed for most of the time he had been at the track. Since Wednesday, all the Belmont Stakes horses were housed in the same barn with 24-hour surveillance; New York racing officials said it was to ensure the race was run fairly. “Some people have asked did the detention barn have anything to do with this. Absolutely not. Just a freakish thing,” O’Neill said. “I’ve been hoping and praying he would stay injury-free, and it didn’t happen.” O’Neill has been under intense scrutiny throughout the Triple Crown series because of his history of medication violations. He is set to begin a 45-day suspension next month after one of his horses tested positive for excess total carbon dioxide in a race last year. The New York State Racing and Wagering Board said Friday that initial testing of samples taken from all 12 Belmont Stakes entries on Wednesday were negative. “Our hearts go out to the connections of I’ll Have Another,” NYRA chairman Steven Duncker said. “We are all disappointed for them, the fans, and for the sport of thoroughbred racing, but the most important concern is always the health and well-being of the horses.”
McIlroy takes lead in Memphis
Associated Press
Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu, left, fields the throw as the Angels’ Mike Trout slides safely into second base with a steal Friday in the first inning of a Los Angeles win.
Hunter, Halos beat Rockies, 7-2 DENVER (AP) — Torii Hunter homered twice and drove in six runs, leading the Los Angeles Angels over the Colorado Rockies 7-2 on Friday night. Rookie Mike Trout had three hits and scored three times and Albert Pujols had an RBI double to back C.J. Wilson, who struck out nine in eight innings. Todd Helton had two hits and Jordan Pacheco had an RBI triple for the Rockies, who have lost three straight. Showing no fear of pitching in hitter-friendly Coors Field, Wilson (7-4) retired his first 11 batters before Carlos Gonzalez reached on a bunt single. Wilson one over the minimum until the sixth, when he gave up two of his five hits. Alex White (2-4), bidding to win his third
straight decision, allowed four runs and eight hits in six innings with six strikeouts and no walks. Hunter hit two-run homers in the third and fifth innings, raising his season total to eight with three in two games. He added a two-run single in the ninth off Esmil Rogers, and Pujols followed with a two-out RBI double. Marco Scutaro doubled in Colorado’s run with two outs in the sixth. Pacheco’s two-out triple in the ninth scored Helton to make it 7-2 NOTES: Hunter’s was one RBI off his careerhigh, accomplished twice. ... Rockies SS Troy Tulowitzki (groin strain) did some light running before batting practice. He is projected to return to the lineup when Colorado plays Detroit next weekend.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Rory McIlroy snapped his string of three straight missed cuts in style Friday, shooting a 5-under 65 to take the lead into the weekend at the St. Jude Classic. McIlroy came to Memphis looking to tune up his game before heading to San Francisco for his U.S. Open title defense at The Olympic Club. He birdied three of his final four holes, and had an eagle, five birdies and two bogeys to match his lowest PGA Tour round this year. With a birdie on No. 18, McIlroy reached 7 under to break out of a four-way tie for the lead. “It’s nice to see my name on that part of the leaderboard,” McIlroy said. “It’s not nice when you’re struggling to make the cut on a Friday afternoon. It was great. It’s nice to be through to the weekend obviously. It’s obviously even nicer to be leading and have a great chance.” Jeff Maggert, tied for the first-round lead with John Merrick, shot a 68 to match J.B. Holmes (64) and Kevin Stadler (65) at 6 under. Merrick had a 69 to join Chad Campbell (67) and Kevin Kisner (66) at 5 under. Davis Love III, the Americans’ Ryder Cup captain, had a 68 and was tied with Padraig Harrington (68) at 4 under. John Daly birdied his first three holes on his back nine to get to 5 under but finished with a 69 and was at tied at 3 under — making his fourth cut in five events. No one has ever won a PGA Tour event, then followed up the next week by winning the U.S. Open. After playing only two rounds each at The Players Championship, the BMW PGA Championship in England and then the Memorial last week, McIlroy isn’t thinking about history. His goal in Memphis is playing as much competitive golf as possible while honing his game.
“I saw a lot of positive signs with my ball striking. Hit a lot of good iron shots and drivers. So that was something that I was really working on the last couple of weeks and feels like it’s coming together for me. So excited to be in this position for the weekend. This is really what I wanted heading into next week,” McIlroy said.
“For the time being, my mind is focused on trying to win this golf tournament.” McIlroy certainly has his driver working very well. Even when his caddie suggested a 3-wood off the tee at No. 18, McIlroy stuck with his driver and drove the ball 329 yards. That left him 115 yards to the pin, and he hit his approach to 5 feet for the final birdie and the lead.

BBB offers brides advice to avoid wedding day glitches By ROBERTA NAMEE
Better Business Bureau of Kansas
T
he high cost of weddings today can put high pressure on the pocketbook. It may not seem unreasonable to expect flawless performance from all of those well-paid vendors on the bride and groom’s big day. But complications do have a way of rearing their heads at the last minute, making smooth-as-clockwork weddings something of a rarity. After all, many services are required to pull of the modern wedding and that means many chances for error. Between the caterer, the venue, the clothing, the music, the flowers and the photographer, it can be difficult to “get hitched” without a hitch in the proceedings. The Better Business Bureau offers the following advice for couples as they work out the arrangements for their wedding day. • Take the time required to get to know a business’ history and staff. Find out who the owner is. Check on where their locations are. Don’t be shy about inquiries for references, portfolios, brochures and product samples. You are about to give them a lot of money. You get to ask them a lot of questions. • Shop around. Visit their competitors and see how they measure up. Allow enough time to interview multiple prospects and do not give in to high-pressure sales tactics. • Record the details of special offers. Get explanations on any special promotion, sweepstakes, drawings or prize packages. Collect it and save it. • Do your research. Look for signs of reliability by checking on consumer reviews on the Internet. Read up on the BBB’s Business Reviews at bbb.org. • Get it in writing. Any agreements should be in written form and should include delivery dates and service locations. There should be an itemized breakdown of all costs on products, services and labor. Find out if fees are calculated hourly or are flat. • Read the guarantee. Read and understand the policy on cancellations and refunds, and see that details and dates are all outlined therein. • Don’t pay it all up front. Pay only the minimum deposit. Make your payments with credit cards instead of cash.
Most cards offer buyer protection if services are not performed or merchandise is not delivered. • Confirm it. After you’ve booked the services, confirm all reservations and specifics by email if possible. Request confirmation numbers and delivery tracking. Save all receipts and paperwork. • Find out about the “What ifs,” as in what if a business closes or can’t keep it’s promises? What if a store claims it is the designer’s, the manufacturer’s or the shipper’s fault for delays? • Find the right photographer. Of special importance to most couples is the selection of the photographer or videographer for their ceremony. After all, the images they provide are the visual record of the wedding and those images have much to do with how it will be remembered years down the road. When choosing a photographer, meet with them in person. Be sure you are meeting with the person who will be doing the photographing. Make your wishes and expectations known explicitly to that person. Don’t rely on someone else to relay your requests to the actual photographer. Ask for references, check the photographer out with the BBB and talk to previous clients. Look at samples of their work and determine if it has that special pizzazz you want your pictures to have. Is their creativity displayed in their portfolio or does the work look formulaic and uninspired? Get all of the details regarding the photo package — number of photos, availability of reprints, enlargements and albums. Establish the time frame for delivery of proofs and videos. Find out what payment schedule is required. This information should be included in the contract. There is no guarantee that your wedding will go 100 percent as planned. You can, however, increase the odds of that happening by taking precautions and doing careful research when selecting the vendors involved. The blush on the blushing bride’s face should be from joy, not from frustration with the contractors. Contact your Better Business Bureau with questions at (800) 856-2417 or online at www.kansasplains.bbb. org.
Business Briefs Wheatfields helps support local arts Wheatfields On Main, 309 N. Main St., is partnering with Brighton to support local children’s arts programs in Garden City.

The best of each brand is selected by reviewing the property’s guest satisfaction scores, the quality assurance scores and unannounced on-site inspections, according to a release from the company.

McDonald’s warns of global economy’s impact on 2Q NEW YORK (AP) — McDonald’s Corp. says strength in the U.S. and Europe drove up a key revenue figure in May, but warned that economic volatility around the world and rising expenses are pressuring its secondquarter results. The fast-food chain, based in Oak Brook, Ill., also said that foreign currency translations are now expected to hurt sec-
ond-quarter earnings by 7 cents to 9 cents per share. Shares of McDonald’s were down $1.15, or 1.3 percent, at $87.23 in midday trading. For May, the company says global sales at stores open at least 13 months rose 3.3 percent. That is a key metric because it excludes the volatility from newly opened or closed stores. The figure was dragged
down by results in the region encompassing Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, where McDonald’s said sales fell 1.7 percent from a year ago. The negative performance in China was likely the result of new “value dinner” promotions that drove down average checks per visit, R.W. Baird analyst David Tarantino said in a note to

Business Cars avoid crashes by talking to each other D8
SATURDAY, June 9, 2012
WASHINGTON (AP) — As a safety demonstration, it was a heart-stopper: A Ford Taurus was seconds away from cruising through an intersection when suddenly a row of red lights pulsed on the lower windshield and a warning blared that another car was approaching fast on the cross street. Braking quickly, the driver stopped just as the second car, previously unseen behind a large parked truck, barreled through a red light and across the Ford’s path. The display at a recent transportation conference was a peek into the future of automotive safety: cars that to talk to each other and warn drivers of impending collisions. Later this summer, the government is launching a yearlong, real-world test involving nearly 3,000 cars, trucks and buses using volunteer drivers in Ann Arbor, Mich. The vehicles will be equipped to continuously communicate over wireless networks, exchanging information on location, direction and speed 10 times a second with other similarly equipped cars within about 1,000 feet. A computer analyzes the information and issues danger warnings to drivers, often before they can see the other vehicle.
On roadways today, the Taurus in the demonstration likely would have been “T-boned” — slammed in the side by the other car. There were more than 7,800 fatal intersection accidents on U.S. roadways in 2010. Called vehicle-to-vehicle communication, or V2V, more advanced versions of the systems can take control of a car to prevent an accident by applying brakes when the driver reacts too slowly to a warning. V2V “is our next evolutionary step ... to make sure the crash never happens in the first place, which is, frankly, the best safety scenario we can all hope for,” said David Strickland, administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. V2V technology holds the potential to help in most crashes that aren’t alcohol or drug related, Strickland said. But a lot will depend on how drivers respond to the warnings, and that’s one reason for the Ann Arbor test. Overall, more than 32,000 people were killed in traffic accidents last year. In addition to warning of cars running red lights or stop signs, “connected cars” can let drivers know if they don’t have time to make a left turn because of oncoming traffic. When
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Chesapeake Energy Corp. shareholders rebuked the company’s board by withholding support for two directors up for re-election at Friday’s annual meeting. Both directors have tendered their resignation. Shareholders also withheld their support for Chesapeake’s executive compensation plan and peppered CEO Aubrey McClendon with questions about the corporate governance and accountability of the nation’s second largest producer of natural gas. Shares of the Oklahoma City-based company are worth nearly 40 percent less than a year ago. And Chesapeake still has big spending plans even though it’s taking in less cash because of a plunge in natural gas prices. It also needs to sell off billions of dollars in assets to service a huge debt load. “Something is out-of-balance here at Chesapeake,” said shareholder Gerald Armstrong of Denver, whose proposal to reincorporate the company in Delaware passed with the support of 53 percent of the votes cast. Armstrong said the move would bring greater accountability to the company but that Chesapeake had resisted it. The proposal is nonbinding.
Armstrong said he filed his proposal in January before media reports raised questions about whether McClendon’s personal business interests were in conflict with those of the company he runs. The reports helped sink an already depressed stock price. They also painted a picture of a board that accepted betterthan-average pay and perks in return for keeping a loose rein on the CEO. The reports disclosed that McClendon was allowed to borrow money from a company that Chesapeake was doing business with. Shareholders began calling for a shake-up of the board after Chesapeake acknowledged that directors hadn’t fully scrutinized the loans’ details. “The absence of good government practices has become more apparent,” Armstrong said. “Accountability is what it’s all about and it’s time for a change.” Change, at least in the make-up of the board, is coming. Chesapeake has agreed with activist investor Carl Icahn and Southeastern Asset Management, its largest shareholder, to replace four of nine board members with directors they choose. The company also stripped McClendon of the chairman title and plans to name

driving on a two-lane road, the systems warn when passing is unsafe because of oncoming cars — even vehicles around a curve that the driver can’t see yet. In a line of heavy traffic, the systems issue an alert if a car several vehicles
ahead brakes hard even before the vehicle directly in front brakes. And the systems alert drivers when they’re at risk of rear-ending a slower-moving car. It’s also possible for connected cars to exchange information with traffic lights, signs and roadways
if states and communities decide to equip their transportation infrastructure with similar technology. The information would be relayed to traffic management centers, tipping them off to congestion, accidents or obstructions. If cars are reported to be swerving
in one spot on a roadway, for example, that could indicate a large pothole or obstruction. The constant stream of vehicle-to-infrastructure, or V2I, information could give traffic managers a better picture of traffic flows than they have today, enabling better timing of traffic signals to keep cars moving, for example. Correspondingly, cars could receive warnings on traffic tie-ups ahead and rerouting directions. NHTSA has been working on the technology for the past decade along with eight automakers: Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai-Kia, MercedesBenz, Nissan, Toyota and Volkswagen. “We think this is really the future of transportation safety, and it’s going to make a huge difference in the way we live our lives,” said Scott Belcher, president of the Intelligent Transportation Society of America, which promotes technology solutions to transportation problems. The technology is already available, said Rob Strassburger, vice president for safety of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers. He said what’s needed is for the government to set standards so that all automakers use compatible technology.
a new independent board chairman by June 22. The two directors who resigned Friday are V. Burns Hargis and Richard K. Davidson. A representative of Icahn Capital, Vincent J. Intrieri, said the organization is demanding better corporate governance. Intrieri said McClendon is a great oil and gas executive but that even the best of executives need a strong board of directors to oversee their decisions. McClendon and his company have been at the forefront of a boom in U.S. natural gas production. Just a few years ago it appeared the U.S. was running out of natural gas. Now the supply is so abundant that prices have dropped to levels last seen 10 years ago. That plunge has left Chesapeake short on cash to service the large amount of debt it accumulated while buying up land for drilling. To fill the gap, Chesapeake plans to sell as much as $14 billion of assets in 2012. On Friday, Chesapeake said it would sell its pipeline assets in three deals totaling $4 billion. That will bring asset sales so far this year to $6.6 billion. Biju Perincheril, an analyst at Jeffries & Company, said Chesapeake is now close to the $7 billion worth of asset sales he estimates it needs
to avoid violating the terms of some of its loans. “We don’t intend to kick the can down the road. We intend to crush the can,” McClendon said. “We can sell billions of dollars of assets.” In spite of low gas prices, the embattled CEO painted a bright future for the company he co-founded in 1989. McClendon said Chesapeake is responsible for 25 percent of the growth in natural gas production in the U.S. in
the past five years and that the company has invested in commercial natural gas refueling stations it believes will enhance demand for the fuel. “I’m very proud of the efforts that our company has made to provide leadership in this area,” he said. “It’s all about delivering value to shareholders.” Shares rose 2.8 percent Friday to $18.35 and gained 18 percent this week as analysts and investors wel-
comed the shake-up of the board. The shares are still down more than 17 percent for the year. McClendon predicted that natural gas prices will eventually rebound from the current price of about $2.30 per 1,000 cubic feet but that the company will shift its focus to the production of natural gas liquids this year to boost its bottom line. “The company trades at a great discount to the value of its assets,” he said.
