Creative concepts Legos, duct tape tape take over as entries of choice in county fair. By ANGIE HAFLICH

County fairs bring to mind ribbons being awarded for such things as pigs, cows and chickens, but on Thursday morning at the Finney County Fair, kids earned ribbons by doing “kid” things — making creations of their own design out of either interlock blocks, such as Legos and K’nex, or out of duct tape. Tammy Wallace’s 7-year-old son, Kendrick, made certain that his Lego See Fair, Page A5

Police and fire department responders assist after a concrete truck overturned while making a turn at the intersection of Buffalo Jones Avenue and VFW Road Friday morning.

Concrete truck overturns Friday morning By The Telegram A concrete truck that may have taken a turn too quickly rolled onto its side and damaged a second vehicle Friday morning. The accident occurred at about 7:58 a.m. in the 1700 block of North VFW Road. According to Finney County Sheriff Kevin Bascue, Andrez Hernandez, 25, Garden City, was driving a concrete truck owned by Holcomb-based Pappas Concrete eastbound on Jones Avenue when he attempted to make a right-hand turn onto North VFW Road. As Hernandez made the turn, the truck rolled onto its side and struck a Jeep Cherokee that was stopped

northbound at a stop sign on North VFW Road. The truck came to rest on its side at the southeast corner of the intersection, and both vehicles received unspecified damage. Bascue said that it appeared the truck may have made the turn too quickly, causing the load to shift. The driver of the Jeep, Martina Cuevas-Sotelo, 20, Garden City, and her three passengers received no injuries. Hernandez was transported to St. Catherine Hospital, where he was treated and released. Although the investigation into the accident is complete, the accident report was not completed as of press time.

State News Chick-fil-A controversy reaches universities LAWRENCE (AP) — Some students at two Kansas universities want Chick-fil-A removed from the campuses because of the fast-food chain’s stance on gay marriage. Online petitions began at Wichita State University and the University of Kansas after Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy said he opposed gay marriage. Some groups are boycotting Chick-fil-A, while

others are supporting the fast-food chain. The petition at Wichita State had about 530 signatures early Friday. The Kansas petition had nearly 1,800 signatures. Another petition to keep Chick-fil-A at Kansas had about 560 signatures. Wichita State officials say if they hear of anyone being refused service at Chick-fil-A because of sexual orientation, the school would address the situation. The Wichita Eagle reports Kansas officials say they are discussing the issue with people on campus and off.

Toxic algae continues to plague Kansas lakes TOPEKA (AP) — Health officials say five Kansas lakes continue to have high levels of harmful blue-green algae. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has warnings about algae blooms at Chisholm Creek North Lake in Sedgwick County, Harvey County East Lake, Logan City Lake in Phillips County, Memorial/ Veterans Lake in Barton County and South Lake Park in Johnson County. The warnings mean the lakes contain high levels of the algae and contact with the water is prohibited. Two new lakes, Deanna Rose Farmstead in Johnson County and Scott State Park in Scott County, have been added to the lower level advisory status for blue-green algae, which means direct contact with the water is discouraged for people, pets and livestock. Warnings or advisories were lifted this week for Herington Reservoir and Lovewell Reservoir.

Jennifer Cunningham has been selected by the city of Garden City as the new city prosecutor. Cunningham, who has been an assistant county attorney, said she is looking forward to the opportunity. “I want to put myself out there in a way that I can be more involved in the community, not only as a prosecutor, but anything I can do to make it a better place and help people, that’s what I want to do,” she said. She will begin the new position on Aug. 7, and is taking the place of former City Prosecutor Jacob Cunningham, who is also her husband. Jacob Cunningham left the position earlier in the summer to pursue a private sector career. Cunningham’s main duties will be to prosecute city ordinance

violations in municipal court. She also will supervise three other employees, and as the department head, will be responsible for preparing budgets for the department. She said that while many of her duties will be similar to those she had at the county attorney’s office, there are some ben- Cunningham efits to making the transition. “The difference between the two offices is in the county attorney’s office, there are nine attorneys practicing law, and in this office, there’s one attorney who’s practicing law, so it leaves a lot of autonomy. It leaves a lot of room for me to make decisions on whether or not a case is pros-

ecuted,” she said. Cunningham originally is from Lamar, Colo. She did her undergraduate studies at Colorado State University and graduated from Washburn School of Law in 2010, the same year she began working at the county attorney’s office. Cunningham was one of two candidates chosen to participate in interviews, which took place in front of a five-person panel. The panel consisted of City Human Resources Director Michelle Stegman, City Manager Matt Allen, City Attorney Randall Grisell, Mayor David Crase and Garden City police Capt. David Smith, who is the captain of patrol. In a press release from the city, Allen said he looks forward to Cunningham joining the management team. “Her previous experience as an assistant Finney County attorney will allow her to naturally transition into this position for

the city. Her business background will be a great asset as she manages the municipal prosecutor’s office,” Allen said. Cunningham said she believes the experience will provide her the opportunity to learn a great deal. “This, I believe, teaches you to run your own law practice, along with being a prosecutor,” she said. In the city press release, Cunningham expressed her enthusiasm for the new role. “I am excited to have been given an opportunity to be the municipal prosecutor,” she said. “I look forward to working with all of those involved with municipal court and hope to continue building my relationship with the Garden City Police Department and the city of Garden City as a whole. I expect the position to facilitate growth for me, not only as an attorney, but as an individual in this community.”

GCHS represented in National STAR competition By RACHAEL GRAY

rgray@gctelegram.com

Although she graduated from Garden City High School in May, Alejandra Perez had one last chance to represent the school. Perez and six other members of the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America at GCHS traveled to Orlando, Fla., from July 7 to 12 to participate in the National STAR (Students Taking Action with Recognition) competition. Perez earned a gold award for her fashion construction entry. For her project, she had to demonstrate eight techniques of clothing construction that went into making a dress. “I had to show the steps I took to make the dress and the cost of the dress,” she said. Perez said she would wear the dress she constructed to more formal events such as a wedding reception. “It reminds me of the 1950s. It’s really different from other dresses,” she said. This was Perez’s first time at nationals. She’s participated in FCCLA for four years. She said she enjoyed participating because of the events, community service and life skills she learned. “We really come together to do events and community service. This event helped me talk better in front of people and helped my sewing skills. I’ll use both in the future,” she said. The six other students all received silver awards. Patsy Fort, GCHS FACS teacher and FCCLA advisor, said that although not as many students went to nationals as last year, the quality of work still was high. “We had several student who were just points away from getting gold,” she said. Kara Barb, who will be a senior this fall, received a silver award for fashion design. She needed only three points to receive a gold. She designed a modern black dress with a bow belt and optional shoulder bow. “You can wear this dress several ways,” she said. Barb said the best part of FCCLA is meeting new people at competitions. She’s been in FCCLA for three years and will participate again her senior year. “I’m already thinking about

Garden City High School junior Christine Ortego sets up a display Thursday for her recycled fashion project. what I want to do for next year,” she said. Three students worked together on a project. Jenny Nguyen, Jenifer Phipps and Trang Le, who will be juniors, received a silver award in applied technology. The three made a video on the step-by-step process on how to make boxer shorts. The shorts are made at the end of the Introduction to Fashion class. Fort and the girls came up with the idea. “It’s really neat that we’ll be using that video in classes. If students need to actually see the process, or if they’re gone that day, they can use the video,” Fort said. Next year, Nguyen and Phipps have their eyes on gold. Both say they’re going to do projects on their own.

“I’m shooting for a gold at nationals,” Nguyen said. “I’m surprised we got as far as we did, but next year I want to go farther,” Phipps said. Phipps said she enjoys FCCLA because it has helped her public speaking skills and has given her more confidence. “And it’s something to do besides normal school activities,” she said. Christine Ortega, who also will be a junior, earned a silver award for recycle and redesign. Fort said no one at the competition earned a gold in that category. Ortega designed a rain jacket out of recycled bags and used the Target bull’s-eye for decoration. She also designed and constructed a clutch purse out of bubble wrap. “It’s cool to make some-

thing out of the bags. You drive around Garden City, and you always see bags blowing all over the place,” she said. Ortega has been in FCCLA since her freshman year. “I love all that you can do. We always do different things. It’s school-related, but we also help out with community service. I really like meeting people from all over the U.S.,” she said. Blanca Morales, 18, a GCHS graduate, earned a silver award for entrepreneurship for creating a business and website design to sell different kinds of tights. At several of the competitions, women and judges asked Morales if they could purchase the tights. Morales said she will use the skills she learned in FACS and FCCLA in the future. She will attend Garden City Community College and study accounting. She said she eventually wants to go into fashion merchandising, but to do so is expensive. “I figured I could do accounting first and then go into fashion merchandising from there,” she said. Fort said the skills FCCLA students learn are marketable and employable. She said the portfolios the students put together are college-level work. Fort said she was proud of the students for their patience and perseverance on their projects. “I’m really proud of all of them. ... Last year, Alejandra made a dress, but she chickened out. This year, she got gold. I’m really proud she conquered her fears,” Fort said. Fort said she hopes showcasing the students’ work, in addition to brand new technology and more space in her classroom at the new high school, will prompt students to join FACS and participate in FCCLA. “The classroom is much larger. We have brand new Mac computers, so we’ll be able to do design on those. That’s what the design and graphic arts industry uses. We’ll be able to integrate and do a lot more collaboration using those,” she said. The projects done by the seven students are on display in the commons area of the new high school, 2720 Buffalo Way Blvd.

New school crossing areas coming across town this fall rgray@gctelegram.com

With several USD 457 buildings set to become different facilities with the start of the 2012-13 school year, as well as the district’s school boundary changes, Garden City drivers can expect new school crossings near several schools. Roy Cessna, public information officer and city commissioner, said the city and school district are working together to make the changes. “The new crossings are due to the facility moves and the changes

in boundaries at the attendance centers,” Cessna said. The city commission accepted the proposal for new crossings at its July 17 meeting. The former Garden City High School building is being transformed into Horace J. Good Middle School, and drivers can expect three additional crossings for the school this fall. Cessna said because the former high school is becoming a middle school, more of the student population will be walking and riding bikes to school. One of the crossings will be on Third Street on the north side

of Harding Avenue. The city’s Safe Routes to School project also proposed adding a sidewalk from the north side of Harding Avenue to Third Street to provide access to the crossing, according to city documents. School crossings for HGMS also will be constructed at Olive and Edward streets. An existing crossing south at Holmes will not be repainted. The Third and Main street crossings will have advance signage with flashing warning lights. The school crossing at Teitelbaum Avenue for Abe Hubert Elementary School will remain,

according to city documents. A “school crossing ahead” sign will be installed with warning signs and flashing lights in advance of the Kansas Avenue and Eighth Street intersection, with a crossing guard at the intersection, documents said. Cessna said the district’s and city’s goal with the new school crossings is safety. “Our goal is to get the students to and from school in a safe manner. As it gets closer to the school year, near school zones, drivers need to be mindful of both the students and the crossing guards,” Cessna said.

Simple contributions help empower children in need.

very child should head to school with the tools and confidence they need to succeed. But for many youngsters from troubled families, it’s sometimes a challenge to even be equipped with the basic essentials. One local organization that understands their plight is working to make sure more of those students head off to school on the right note. Spirit of the Plains, CASA — the Do you plan to contribute local Court to a nonprofit agency in Appointed the coming year? Add your Special comments at the end of the Advocates online version agency — is of this editorial at reaching out GCTelegram.com/opinion. for assistance from generous individuals interested in helping CASA provide essential school supplies for abused and neglected children who might not have someone at home looking out for their educational needs. CASA works to provide a voice for abused and neglected children. Appointed by court systems, CASA volunteers work for the best outcomes in the legal and social services systems for the children, rather than their parents or others involved in the case. The courts depend on those individuals committed to serving in the best interests of the many children in such situations. The local CASA agency assisted more than 200 children last year. But like so many social services agencies these days, CASA must brace for the fallout of mindless governmental budget cuts made with little regard for the more vulnerable people in our communities. So, CASA could use help from others. One welcome contribution came recently from the New Jersey-based charity One Simple Wish, which donated 50 backpacks that CASA plans to fill with the school supplies local students need. They’re seeking such donations as notebook paper, pencils and crayons. Gift cards and cash contributions also are welcome. Details on suggested donations are available from Spirit of the Plains, CASA, at (620) 271-6197. For many abused and neglected children, their CASA volunteer becomes the one constant and dependable adult presence in their lives. By making a simple contribution as part of the school supplies drive — or during other CASA fundraising efforts throughout the year — more people could make a difference in the lives of many children in need. Pitching in with some basic, affordable school supplies would be one easy way to be part of that important mission.

“Am I my brother’s keeper?” — Genesis 4:9 ••• few words about the tragedy in Aurora, Colo.: In “Dark Knight Triumphant,” the second chapter of a four-part Batman graphic novel, there is an incident in which a goggle-eyed, mentally disturbed young man with orange hair shoots up a movie theater. Three people are killed. That scene, published in 1986, carries a new and frightful resonance now. How could it not? Last week in Aurora, a goggle-eyed and perhaps mentally disturbed young man with orange hair allegedly shot up a theater playing a midnight showing of the new Batman movie, “The Dark Knight Rises.” A dozen people were killed, 58 wounded. Life imitates art imitating life. That graphic novel was a sensation far beyond the comic book shops. Rolling Stone noted its “bold thematic twists.” The Los Angeles Times called it “a vivid psychological study.” The Washington Post praised its “edgy realism.” Writer and artist Frank Miller pictured an aged Batman coming out of retirement to save a Gotham City overrun by nihilistic terrorists. Batman’s town had become a lawless place where the good people were cowed mute by fear. It was a new take on the ancient central conceit of the American superhero myth. Meaning the idea that we are watched over from the rooftops above by a man (or woman) with powers and abilities beyond those of mortal men and women, a capable somebody who will fight what we cannot. Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s somebody who will see that the bad thing doesn’t happen and that the bad people get what’s coming to them, somebody who will, just when things look hopeless, save us. Lord knows we could use some saving. Could have used it at Columbine and at Virginia Tech. Could have used it in Tucson. Could have used it last week in Aurora. You know what happened there, of course. How a man left the theater and returned through the exit door wearing body armor. How he threw smoke grenades. How he started shooting. In a place of escapism, where people had gone to enjoy the fantasy of a man who could fight what we cannot, h--l broke loose and chaos reigned. As, periodically, they must. In a gun-besotted nation where the right of each citizen to possess as many weapons of mass destruction as he or she wants is considered sacred and inviolable, who can expect otherwise? We are all vulnerable, always. And yet, vulnerability is not surrender. That awful night in Aurora. Jonathan Blunk, a 26-year-old Navy veteran, shielded his girlfriend from bullets with his own body. He died. Matt McQuinn, 27, and Alex Teves, 24, also shielded their girlfriends. They died, too. Stephanie Davis, 21, dropped down to the floor where Allie Young, 19, was bleeding out from a bullet wound to the neck. Allie told her to run but Stephanie wouldn’t. She stayed there, applying pressure to the wound even as the gunman kept shooting. Both young women survived. In an instant, called upon to be heroes, ordinary people in an ordinary suburb became exactly that. Frank Miller wrote about a vigilante who came back to save the people. We cannot know if that inspired the orange-haired man in Colorado — you will not read his name here — to do what police say he did or whether his inspiration came from something else equally senseless. What we can know is that in the awful moment of decision, people covered one another, took care of one another, saved one another. It is the single hopeful note from the carnage of that evening, the one example worth holding and cherishing and carrying forward from this awful time, not least because it gives the lie to that central conceit of the American superhero myth. You see, heroes don’t come from above.

Your Views Morris embraces sensible goals

very election is important, but, the stakes for Kansas could not be higher. In The Telegram on Oct. 3, both 39th District Senate candidates were asked why they were seeking the state Senate seat. Powell: He is interested in seeking the Senate seat because it is a “step up” for him. Morris: He plans to seek the Senate seat because he desires to see the Sunflower Electric Power Corp.’s expansion plans at Holcomb come to fruition; oversight of development of a $650 million National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility in Manhattan; and advocacy for progress of the Kansas Department of Transportation T-WORKS legislation, which includes plans for a nearly $43.5 million four-lane expansion along nine miles of U.S. Highway 50 just west of Dodge City. “Through my public service, I’ve pursued responsible public policy,” Morris said. “I’m proud of my record of supporting conservative values and fiscal responsibility, good schools and infrastructure. I’ll continue to fight for a tax and regulatory climate that protects taxpayers in southwest Kansas and encourage job growth in our part of the state.” (http://www.gctelegram. com/news/morris-powell-39thdistrict-10-8-11) At the present time, well-funded outside special interest groups are spending millions of dollars to defeat incumbent senators who put their local communities above the agendas of these special interest groups. These organizations, Virginia-based Americans for Prosperity and the Kansas Chamber of Commerce, are not friends of southwest Kansas; they want the revenue to go to the cities. They have picked

Powell to push their agendas through. Rep. Powell has been in the house for 11 years and has never held a leadership position. So when he said he wanted to be in the Senate because it was a step up, he was telling the truth. When he filled out his Americans for Prosperity Candidate questionnaire he listed his top five concerns. He ranked agriculture number five. Education did not even make the list! Is this really who you want representing you and your children on the state level? (http://americansforprosperity.org/kansas/ files/2012/06/Powell.LarrySenate-39.pdf.) Senate President Steve Morris does not stoop so low as to run a negative campaign. He has a record of which he is, and should be, proud. In 2011, Steve received national recognition when he was selected president of the National Conference of State Legislatures, an organization designed to serve and exchange ideas among all 50 state governments. However, he has been the recipient of disparaging tactics from Americans for Prosperity, which mailed postcards attacking Republican legislators for supporting “Obamacare.” A look at the voting record will show that every Republican in the Kansas Senate voted against Obamacare by passing the Kansas Health Care Freedom Act and they are standing in direct opposition to the president’s healthcare plan. It is just one more lie in their armory of tricks. Please don’t be fooled. Go to www. SenatorSteveMorris.com to see his voting record. Who do you want representing you — a person seeking a “step up” in his political career or someone with concrete goals that align with the interests of southwest Kansans? Please join me in voting

Morris serves local interests

e are very concerned about the relentless outsider interference in the Senate race in our region. Although we respect the right of all candidates to get their message out to voters, the shameless attacks on Senate President Steve Morris need to be challenged. We trust that other western Kansans are as tired of outside influence as we are. Our own Sunflower power plant project comes to mind as a prime example of eastern Kansans and out-of–state interests dictating to us. Now, national organizations like Americans for Prosperity and the eastern Kansas-based (and Koch family supported) Kansas Chamber of Commerce are attacking one of our own. These groups do not have our best interests in mind, and serve only to benefit well-funded national and state influence groups. We believe that our fellow voters in Senate District 39 also recognize the source of the negative campaigning against Sen. Morris. We encourage everyone to vote in the Aug. 7 primary, and let these groups know that we western Kansans are a proud, independent and forwardlooking people who have the best interests of the people of Kansas and especially western Kansas at heart. Show them that we aren’t fooled by slick fliers full of misleading and inaccurate statements. Senate President Steve Morris has been a strong, knowledgeable leader serving the interests of western Kansas. Vote for Senate President Steve Morris as our state senator. BILL CLIFFORD, M.D. and LUTHER FRY, M.D., Garden City

GOP opposition to everything I

f Barack Obama had been the Democratic president who said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself,” Republicans would call it capitulation. “Obama surrenders to America’s enemies!” Commentators on Fox News would opine it’s actually an Islamic saying he picked up in a madrassa in Indonesia. “The prophet Mohammed talked about fear, it speaks to his Muslim leanings.” Fox and Friends would lead the next morning with the question, “Did Obama include a part of the Koran in his speech last night?” “Karl Marx’s whole campaign was to eliminate — completely obliterate fear! Now we have a president following in his footsteps!” Rush Limbaugh would bellow. All his doppelgangers and dittoheads would repeat it on every corner of the Internet and talk radio: “Fearless is Marxist!” Those more moderate would just call him out of touch. “Obama doesn’t understand how Americans feel: they’re fearful of Obamacare!” Mitt Romney would go on five networks to announce he’s always been a big fan of fear. “In America, the fear is the right height,” he’d declare. “Saying we have nothing to fear is foreign-sounding to a lot of Americans.” Days later, video of Romney telling a crowd not to be afraid would come to light. His campaign would counter with another weather balloon about his VP pick. “Paul Ryan? How about Ginny Thomas?” would be the entire body of an email to Romney supporters.

Internet message boards would speculate there’s an Obama plot to criminalize negative emotions ... tied to fluoride in the water, of course. “Mr. President, what are you trying to hide?” Congressman Darrell Issa would launch an investigation into this alleged plot outlined on these said message boards. Sideshow Michele Bachmann would mutter about how fear is profoundly Christian and Obama with his contempt of fear has shown his contempt for Jesus ... and of course Israel. “Obama wants to destroy Israel!” Allen West would say it’s a form of slavery. John Boehner, wiping back tears, would proclaim, “Fear is a job creator — Mr. President why do you want to punish success?” Suddenly fear would be a constitutional right. “Barack Hussein Obama is trying to take away our god-given right to be afraid!” “We have nothing to fear? I fear our right to fear will be stripped away if Obama gets a second term.” Yes, the party that bravely came out against empathy (a trait lacking in all sociopaths) when Obama admired it in Sonia Sotomayor, would come out in favor of fear. It would become their signature issue. AstroTurf busses would drop grassroots activists on the capitol lawn for the Million Phobics

March. It would mainly consist of security personnel (pro-fear remember) and Sarah Palin proclaiming, “Unlike Barack Obama — we’re god-fearing Americans!” SuperPAC funded T-shirts handed out at the rally would read, “I’m god-fearing not Mohammed-quoting!” Inevitably there would be Democrats being forced to defend denouncing fear. “Look, I think we can all agree fear is not helpful to Americans. No no, the president doesn’t want to see it criminalized. He just said, however inartfully, we don’t need it.” That would be dubbed a gaffe by the 24-hour news cycle. Right-wing commentators would gasp, “The administration all but admitted to their ambition of outlawing fear. ‘We don’t need it!?’ This is about freedom and governmental overreach!” Nancy Pelosi would be asked to weigh in on the controversy. She’d say, “This is not a debate about who’s for fear and who’s against fear — this is about a struggling middle-class.” The video clip would end up actually setting up several debate segments on cable news shows about who’s for fear and who’s against. To sum up: You have the right to be afraid! The Democrats want to take away that right! That is the choice this November!

Sherwood: Candidate touts experience Continued from Page A1

cases can deal with forensic knowledge and terminology, as well as legal issues surrounding those topics, he said it was important for staff to be trained in a multitude of areas. He said he also would like to reach out to senior citizens in partnership with local law enforcement to talk about elder abuse, identity theft and other issues that affect seniors. Sherwood said he would like to consider what some prosecutors call â&#x20AC;&#x153;shock timeâ&#x20AC;? for offenders facing presumptive probation. Sherwood said shock time is a maximum 60-day jail sentence meant to give those offenders a real consequence to their offending actions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe some of these individuals need a wake-up call,â&#x20AC;? Sherwood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe using shock time could be a tool we could work with.â&#x20AC;? A prosecutor for 22 years, Sherwood said being in court is an important part of both himself and the office. He said with at least $50,000 expected to be cut from this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget, the office likely will have to do more with less, emphasizing the value of experience as staff numbers decrease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we lose a lawyer, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one less person in court,â&#x20AC;? Sherwood said, adding there would be a balancing act between running the office and attending court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why experience is so important.â&#x20AC;? Sherwood believes a county attorney should be active in the community. He said he currently serves on the Finney County Fair Board and has been a part-time supervisor at the Garden City Recreation Commission for 15 years. He added that he plans to reach out to the public,

tank made it into the competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He likes to do Legos. He really wanted to come do it, but he left for church camp, so I told him, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I will take your stuff,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Tammy Wallace said, as other kids anxiously presented their creations to Lachele Greathouse, who volunteers to register all of the entries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think there are more this year than last year, or maybe there are more of the bigger things because this is just as full,â&#x20AC;? Greathouse said, pointing to the glass showcase in which the creations were on display. One of the larger items, which took up about three feet, was what its creator, 13year-old David Virgil, called a car race track. Because it was motorized, the cars traveled the track, which went up, down and made loop-toloops that would rival any roller coaster. His brother, 13-year-old Daniel Virgil, made a similarly intricate maze he called marble mania, which carried marbles through winding curves, down shoots and around in circles. For the interlock blocks, there were two categories: original design and kit. Cindy VenJohn, judge of the competition, said that the point of it is to encourage creativity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking for skill, creativity, especially the ones that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t kits â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the creativity, cleanliness, show quality type things,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The big thing is we want to encourage the kids.â&#x20AC;?

and encouraged people to talk with him about current cases and issues, though no privileged information could be released. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe that the county attorney should be involved outside the office,â&#x20AC;? Sherwood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve committed to this community, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m willing to commit even further.â&#x20AC;? Sherwood said that presenting cases to the best of his officeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability is the most important task to accomplish as county attorney. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about conviction rates,â&#x20AC;? Sherwood said, adding that attorneys do not look at numbers when they go to court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about presenting your case to the court with the best information so the jury can make the best decision to determine guilt or innocence. Numbers are not as important as ensuring every case is done properly.â&#x20AC;? Sherwood said he believes he has an excellent working relationship with law enforcement, maintaining a constant availability during the morning or evening as required. He said that he considered the office to be at its strongest in several years in terms of communication with other agencies, adding that he hoped more regular communication with the Kansas Highway Patrol could be established. Sherwood said he has argued more than 45 jury trials, cases before the Kansas Court of Appeals and the Kansas Supreme Court and testified before state legislators on driving under the influence laws. With well-rounded experience, Sherwood said he was the best person for the job, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am the person that can best lead this office,â&#x20AC;? Sherwood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not time for on-the-job training. The most invaluable resource in our office is experience.â&#x20AC;?

Fair: Creative concepts Entries included everything from treehouses, airplanes, dinosaurs, a working Ferris wheel, a space shuttle, and cars, one of which was an extremely detailed, yellow model with its hood popped up and its doors open as its Lego occupant sat behind the wheel. The duct tape category had some big surprises. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For duct tape, they have the purse/wallet category, the hat, which we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any hats, and then they have clothing, and then they have miscellaneous,â&#x20AC;? Greathouse said. Some of the duct tape purses on display resembled designer handbags. One, which was made by Lacheleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 14-year-old daughter, Rileigh Greathouse, was multi-colored with flowers made of duct tape affixed to the sides. It also had a matching wallet. While judging the duct tape category, VenJohn said she sometimes simply asks herself if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something she would take home. This is what sealed the deal for Rileigh, who was named as the grand champion for the duct tape event. Greathouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15-year-old son won grand champion in another category, rockets from a kit. Rodney Wallace of Larned judged the six launchable rockets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably one of the better ones in here as far as how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finished, how well the fins are glued on.â&#x20AC;? Wallace said. In the interlock block category, Virgilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marble mania set received grand champion honors.

Now, she is vying for the office of Finney County Attorney, squaring off against deputy Finney County attorneys Brian Sherwood and Tamara Hicks in the Aug. 7 Republican primary. The winner will be unopposed in the November general election. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mission as county attorney is to continue to make Garden City a safe place to live and raise a family and a safe place to own a business,â&#x20AC;? Richmeier said. Some of Richmeierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals include a desire to work with law enforcement agencies and the Department of Children and Families to find out specifically where the office is weak and where the office is strong. She said another goal would be to look at the budget to determine if there are areas that could be supplemented through grant writing or other avail-

able monies, or areas that could be cut. Though she was unable to put a percentage on how much time she would be in court due to dynamic work loads, she said that being in court allows the county attorney to see the immediate reactions from the community and judges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to keep my hands in it,â&#x20AC;? Richmeier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to just sit behind a desk.â&#x20AC;? Richmeier said community involvement is important, and she illustrates that by participating in the Garden City Noon Lions Club and the Garden City Family YMCA board of directors. She also is a Chamber of Commerce Ambassador. She added that she would like to be more active in the schools, speaking with teachers and administrators to keep informed on issues affecting the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would continue to remain involved in the com-

munity,â&#x20AC;? Richmeier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like being in the community and hearing what is going on at a grass roots level.â&#x20AC;? Richmeier said that though numbers for case filings appeared stable over the last few years, she said fluctuations are always possible due to societal changes, such as changes in the economy and population shifts. She added that getting a bead on those changes and how they affect crime would be an important part of ensuring the community is served well. In order to accurately gauge success in the office, Richmeier said, the community would be the main benchmark for performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would gauge success and failure based on the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confidence in the office,â&#x20AC;? Richmeier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we will have succeeded if the overwhelming voice from the public is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing a great job.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Stating that she would be

remiss in knowing everything that is going on in the office currently, Richmeier said she would continue to build on relationships with law enforcement that the office currently has. She said that each agency the attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office works with is important, and that the office is unique because its work depends on interaction. Richmeier emphasized that she has the ability to serve the community as county attorney, with more than 15 years of trial and courtroom experience. She said that she spends at least three and a half days a week inside the courtroom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a stranger to the courtroom,â&#x20AC;? Richmeier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think what I offer to the community is something new with a varied background of experience so that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in touch with all walks of life, and I have an understanding that I think gives me a unique approach for that office.â&#x20AC;?

attorney her current time in court ultimately would decrease as she said she would have to spend time outside of court to lead and manage the office. To stay connected with the community, Hicks said she would have an open door policy so the public could stay abreast of nonprivileged matters regarding a case. She said that she plans to continue the county attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weekly radio spot with KIUL and added she also would be open to a weekly newspaper column to discuss trends or other important issues her office is facing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important to keep the community advised of where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at,â&#x20AC;? Hicks said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for the community to know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on. That would help with our jury pool to be more interested in actually serving.â&#x20AC;? Hicks said that as county attorney, numbers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

everything. She said that success is gauged not only by conviction rates, but also by how effective the office is in helping victims and working with witnesses. Success also is measured by being consistently professional in court, as well as by feedback in the community, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think there is a concern with just using numbers to gauge,â&#x20AC;? Hicks said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can file a million cases if you want to, but if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not handled in an appropriate way, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter how many cases you file.â&#x20AC;? Looking at case data from the office over the last few years, Hicks said it is difficult to judge the effectiveness of the office by the data alone. She said that it seemed to her that the criminal cases her office receives have become more extensive and violent, which then takes them more time to resolve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more advanced cases, they take

more time and effort,â&#x20AC;? Hicks said. As the county attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office depends on communicating with different agencies, Hicks said she would continue to have weekly meetings with local law enforcement to discuss cases and concerns. In addition to the current agencies the office works with, Hicks said she would like to see more communication with local fire investigators. She said that she would like to work with the fire department more to better determine how to work fire investigations or arsons, saying that communication is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;huge partâ&#x20AC;? of what the office currently is missing. When asked for any other statements regarding her candidacy, Hicks said she planned to keep the staff currently working at the office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I were elected, I would retain the people who are currently employed there,â&#x20AC;? Hicks said.

eral election. If elected, Hicks said her mission would be to continue along the path that has been created by current Finney County Attorney John Wheeler. She said she wants to be tough on crime, especially repeat offenders, and cut down on the amount of plea bargains. She also said that she would focus on staff development as she said the office currently has four fairly new attorneys. Hicks said that being active in the courtroom is important to the position because it allows county attorney insight into the work of lawyers and direct feedback from judges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I truly believe the county attorney should remain active in the courtroom, whether thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assisting new attorneys or taking the more high profile cases,â&#x20AC;? Hicks said. However, as county

Romney struggles to stem his own Olympics fallout LONDON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mitt Romney struggled Friday to stem political fallout at home after insulting Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handling of the London Games. The stumble at least briefly pitted the Republican presidential candidate against Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strongest ally while limiting his ability to capitalize on more troubling U.S. economic news. At the same time, President Barack Obama used his office to try to take advantage of the Republicanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s missteps abroad, praising Britain for its Olympics preparations one day and sending money to Israel the next â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just as Romney prepared to visit that nation.

The confluence of events â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just as the world focused on Londonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening ceremonies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; confounded Republicans and tickled Democrats. People in both parties wondered aloud how the former Massachusetts governor could have complicated the opening leg of a three-nation tour carefully crafted to highlight his diplomatic strengths and personal Olympic experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to shake your head,â&#x20AC;? GOP strategist Karl Rove said Friday on Fox News. It was unclear just how much damage Romney, who had hoped to burnish his limited foreign policy credentials, did with an American electorate that

nized a conference call with reporters to discuss his schedule in Jerusalem and preview a speech there two days away. British press reports laced with lingering resentment targeting Romneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initial comment â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that problems with Olympic preparations were â&#x20AC;&#x153;disconcertingâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; made it difficult for him to turn the page. A day after London Mayor Boris Johnson assailed Romney by name in a rally before tens of thousands, Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt, the cabinet minister in charge of the Olympics, lashed out at him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we have the opening ceremony tonight and

we tell the world that eight of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top 10 sports were either invented or codified in Britain â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and only two in America â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I hope Mr. Romney is watching,â&#x20AC;? he said Friday. Seeking to quiet the uproar in its second full day, Romney declared on NBC: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looks to me like London is ready.â&#x20AC;? He also observed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is hard to put on the games in a major metropolitan area.â&#x20AC;? Asked about the stir, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m absolutely convinced that the people here are ready for the games, and in just a few moments, all the things the politicians say will be swept awayâ&#x20AC;? by excitement over the competition. Romneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trip comes just

over 100 days before an election that is expected to be close and, for now at least, is dominated by the economyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sluggish recovery. Underscoring it, the Commerce Department released new numbers Friday showing that the U.S. economic growth slowed to an annual rate of 1.5 percent from April through June, as Americans cut back on spending. But, because he was overseas, Romney was in no position to try to leverage the latest figures for political gain. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spent his entire campaign doing that to press his argument that Obama has had long enough to spark the economy and has failed.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Barack Obama reminisces about taking a wrong turn and getting lost. Fumbling to fold a map. Dashing to Kinkoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to copy campaign fliers. The presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s re-election campaign increasingly is sounding like a nostalgia tour. His speeches stroll through elections past, serving up fond memories of his days running as a political unknown, identifying early political inspirations and reminding voters that, win or lose, this will be his last campaign after 13 appearances on the ballot since 1996. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m term-limited,â&#x20AC;? he tells crowds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a flat statement of the obvious that always gets a laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get a little nostalgic and you start thinking about your first political campaigns.â&#x20AC;? These are not the casual ad-libs of a candidate suddenly turning wistful, but a rhetorical device designed to transport Obama back to the days when he was the kind of ordinary guy voters felt they could relate to, long before he rode in limousines and flew on Air Force One. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a parking spot and so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d end up being late, and if it was raining Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to fumble with my umbrella and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d come in kind of drenched,â&#x20AC;? Obama told a crowd in Oakland, Calif., earlier this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were these things called maps, because we did not have GPS,â&#x20AC;? he told a chuckling crowd in Portland, Ore., the next day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And they were on paper, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to fold them. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d unfold them and then trying to fold them back was really difficult.â&#x20AC;? The unwritten subtext: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just like you, and my policies flow from our shared experiences. Mitt Romney, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rich guy whose policies would benefit the elite. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the silver-spoon-inhis-mouth attack â&#x20AC;&#x201D; more gently insinuated,â&#x20AC;? says Kathleen Hall Jamieson, an expert on political rhetoric and director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a rejoinder to Romneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own characterizations of Obama as isolated in the presidential bubble and out of touch with the economic concerns of ordinary Americans. Obama uses his reminiscing riffs to trace a direct connection between his biography and those of the voters he met in early campaigns. The older couples, he says, reminded him of his grandfather who served in World War II and his grandmother who worked a bomber assembly line. The single moms, he says, reminded him of his own mother, who worked to put herself and her two kids through college. The working couples, he says, reminded him of his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would be traveling and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d meet people, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say, you know what, their story is my story,â&#x20AC;? Obama told a crowd in Texas this month. Robin Lakoff, a professor emeritus of linguistics at the University of CaliforniaBerkeley, said Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal in getting â&#x20AC;&#x153;all personal, fuzzywuzzy and nostalgicâ&#x20AC;? is to recreate an intimacy with voters. Lakoff, who reviewed Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speeches and commented by email, said both the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kenyan ancestry and his cool personality make it especially important for him to cement a personal connection to voters.

hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fully tuned into the race. But he certainly stoked talk in political circles in Washington, if not elsewhere, of political tone-deafness, and he raised questions about his readiness to stand on the world stage. He drew more attention Friday night when he attended the opening ceremonies. Just as the show was about to begin, one BBC host noted that Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team was ready for the games â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;despite what Mitt Romney says.â&#x20AC;? Publicly at least, Romneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign shrugged it all off as having little impact on American voters and moved aggressively to change the subject. His aides hastily orga-

Droughtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blanket covers entire state By AMY BICKEL

Special to The Telegram

The drought that is intensifying across the United States is getting worse in Kansas. And, there are no signs it will soon subside. The U.S. Drought Monitor report Thursday shows the entire state in severe to exceptional drought, with nearly 73 percent as extreme to exceptional -- the highest ratings by the organization. The drought is worsening so much that Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback declared a drought emergency in all of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 105 counties this week as crop loses hit more than $1.5 billion. Last year, the historic drought that gripped Kansas and much of the southern plains baked crops, dried up water supplies and caused ranchers to liquidate cattle herds and send calves to the sale barn early. This year, while maybe not as severe in some parts of Kansas as last year, the drought is notable for the massive amount of ground it covers. A year ago, just 40 percent

of the country was in the midst of a drought -- all contained to the southern United States. This year, drought has spread from California to Virginia and from the Dakotas to Texas, with more than 80 percent of the nation in some type of scarcity, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. The seasonal drought outlook released by the National Weather Service last week predicts the drought will persist or intensify in Kansas and much of the nation through October. Farmers are continuing to pump irrigation on their drought-stricken crops, said Lane Letourneau, water appropriations program manager for the Kansas Department of Agricultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Division of Water Resources. And, like last year, farmers are having a hard time keeping up as triple-digit temperatures and no rain continue to bake the region. The drought last year caused the agriculture department to issue about 2,300 drought emergency term permits for 2011 that allowed irrigators to pump 2012 water allotments to save

their crops. A multi-year flex account program approved by the Kansas Legislature this year will now allow irrigators to use more water during drought years, including this one, managing their water rights over a five year period. Irrigators who enroll by the Oct. 1 deadline also will be forgiven of their overuse last year. Letourneau said about 335 irrigators have filed for the program, with another thousand interested. He expected to see an onslaught of applications as the deadline approaches. Wes Essmiller, manager of the Big Bend Groundwater Management District, said his office was receiving many calls on the new program, with 120 people filing so far. Meanwhile, Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move allows farmers, ranchers and communities to draw water from 28 state fishing lakes, Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office reported Thursday. Brownback also urged residents to conserve as much water as possible as the drought becomes more intense. Brownback had a con-

ference call with Sen. Pat Roberts on the issue Wednesday, asking Roberts to support expanding Kanopolis Reservoir to hold two more feet of storage, which could help central Kansas during a future drought. Tracy Streeter, the Kansas Water Officeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director, said in a statement Thursday that there is adequate supply in the state and U.S. Army Corps of Engineer lakes to meet the demand. He emphasized that permission is required before anyone can draw water from the selected lakes. No rain is in the seven-day forecast and temperatures are predicted to stay above 100 degrees. That is not helping farmers in his district, Essmiller said, who manages an area that typically has about 19 inches of rainfall by the end of July. Last year, the Stafford area received 6.62 inches of rain through July. This year, the rain gauge has recorded just 5.67 inches. A small shower early Thursday wet the ground near Stafford, but Essmiller said it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to help much.

Bronson got cold feet. “I honestly don’t even think he’ll do it. He says he wants to, but I don’t think he will,” his mom, Amber Jellison, said. As Amber prodded Bronson to talk about his chaps, vest and cowboy boots, his older brother, 8-year-old Hayden Jellison, spoke of his mutton bustin’ days. “And then he got a busted nose,” Bronson said. Hayden said that wasn’t true. “I got stepped on right here by Story by one of them once,” he said, pointing at his groin area, with a griANGIE mace. HAFLICH Bronson’s parents said that, at home, practically the only thing wants to do is ride his Photos by Bronson bulls. “He’s got a pony at home that BRAD he rides, and he rides the dog too,” NADING his mom, Amber Jellison said, and then laughed. “He’s got stick horses and this big ball he calls his bull — they’re all his bulls, and he rides those things harder than what a sheep’s going to throw him.” His dad, J.D. Jellison, who is involved in both rodeos and ranch rodeos, said, “That’s all he ever talks about is sheep riding.” His older brother, Hayden, has competed in the event the past couple of years, and had also planned to compete on Wednesday. However, the kids must weigh less than 60 pounds to participate, and when Hayden weighed in prior to the event, he was just a tad too heavy. “He got on the scale, and they wouldn’t let him because he was two pounds over,” his mother said. So Hayden spent his time trying to help his parents convince his younger brother to try it, but Bronson wasn’t buying it. “It’s because he has his brother sitting there telling him, ‘Well, you’ll fall off but it doesn’t hurt,’” See Fair, Page B3

Kaleb Otero, 6, holds on to a sheep for a ride as “rodeo clown” Garrett Otter holds on to him Wednesday during the Finney County Fair’s mutton bustin’ competition in the Horse Palace. If children wanting to do the event didn’t want to try it on their own, the clowns held on to them during the ride.

Even without storybook ending, season was unforgettable I

t’s over. Just like that. Without any warning. No heads-up. No one saw it coming. The ball split the gap, and just like that, the other team sent a couple runners to home plate, and it was over. The game was over. The season was over. A high school career was over. It’s the feeling you get when something bad happens and you are powerless to stop it. It wasn’t supposed to end like this, not to this team. This team was special. The No. 1 pitcher on the team was injured and went from a lefthanded pitcher to a right-handed outfielder. The No. 2 pitcher and top third baseman broke his leg right before the post-season started. Another pitcher left for a

mission trip, and don’t get me started on the politics that is Columbus Legion baseball. But none of that mattered, not to the coaches who kept the team upbeat; not to the players who were having the times of their lives; and not to the parents who loved everything about this team. The storybook ending had this team in the state tournament. They didn’t have to win it, just getting there — after everything they had to overcome — was the original goal. Once at state, it could be adjusted. But there’s a saying from a movie I like to repeat. “You can love baseball, but it doesn’t have to love you back.” On Sunday, we were left at the altar. As a parent, you can feel sadness and disappointment when games aren’t won. As a coach, there is another

kind of sadness and disappointment. A coach once told me the players matter more because if you coach long enough, you’ll get other chances. High school athletes have a limited shelf life. But if you are a player, it’s different. When Alek came off the field, we met in a hug, and I could feel his arms tighten around me. There are no magical words to heal that kind of pain. In fact, that kind of pain is inevitable in sports, and needed if you are truly to appreciate the victories. As my throat tightened and the words fought to get out, all

I could tell him was that even though it didn’t help now, there would bet better days and I am proud of him. Alek is not the sentimental mush that I am, but you know when your child is hurting. He had just lost two games in two days, one in extra innings and another in the bottom of the last inning, one out away from advancing to play another day. That smarts like nothing else. Two lopsided losses would have been better. This wasn’t a punch to the gut, this was the town bully reaching in and pulling out your heart and showing it to you before tossing it aside. But that is baseball. Our boy’s dejection on one side, the other boys jumping up and down, in a joy only the unexpected can deliver. But here’s the thing. This is my favorite year and

my favorite team. For all the reasons I mentioned above, the obstacles that had to be overcome, the dogged determination by these kids, the coaches who knew when to pat them on the backs and when to kick them in their behinds, I wouldn’t trade any of this. I wouldn’t trade the pain of the losses. I wouldn’t trade the long ride home. I wouldn’t trade the memories. I wouldn’t trade the great ride. We just had to get off a little sooner than we wanted. That’s OK. Every great ride has to end sometime, but it’s the journey you never forget. This is a season that we’ll never forget. The one we’ll talk about 20 years from now. It was my favorite season.

Chicken Soup for the Soul or watch “Oprah,” I know I’d better throw in a load of my husband’s Dockers and Polo shirts. How much longer can I ignore my daughters’ hampers, overflowing with grimy jeans and spaghetti saucestained sweatshirts? Guess I’d better wash the jeans before dinner. I can do the whites later. Just as I’m about to drown in self-pity, I stop dead in my tracks. I rub my eyes to make sure I’m not seeing things. Could that be a row of clean, perfectly pressed pants hanging in my closet? Weren’t those the same Dockers and jeans that sat crumpled in a heap before I left for work? Pulling on a pair of crisply creased khakis, I hurry into the laundry room. Where are the piles of grape jelly-encrusted T-shirts and pizza-stained capris? Sunlight glistens through the window, spotlighting my glorious discovery: two baskets of spotless jeans, tees and sweatshirts, lovingly folded and sorted, as if by magic.

I touch the clothes to make sure they’re for real. The laundry is done. All of it. A warm tingly feeling, not unlike puppy love, jitters through my veins. He did this, just for me. I’m light and giddy, like a schoolgirl with a secret admirer. As soon as the garage door creaks open, I’m there, ready with a welcoming kiss. “You didn’t have to do all the laundry.” My husband shrugs, as if washing clothes is some type of recreational sport. “Just threw a few loads in during lunch. No big deal.” No big deal? A mountain of mind-numbing whites, darks and coolwater washables? Sudsing and sorting and ironing, too? For a girl pressed for time, this was beyond romantic. Forget the chocolates and roses. Turns out, Tide and Clorox emit their own type of pheromones. After 15 years of marriage, I’ve discovered the secret to romance: a husband who whistles while he Woolites. What could be sexier than a guy who knows the difference between the spin cycle and permanent press? Nothing beats walking into the bedroom and finding my

husband plugged into his iPod, dancing around the ironing board and pressing his dress shirts. Now that I’m a working girl, I know it’s wise to accept help in the domestic department. A closet full of perfectly pressed pants is a fine surprise any day. As far as I know, there are no heavenly rewards for sacrificial sudsing and sorting. I’d be better off listening to E.B. White’s words of advice: “We should all do what, in the long run, gives us joy, even if it is only picking grapes or sorting the laundry.” For me, laundry is arduous: a weekly mountain to climb when I’d rather be playing with my girls. Why not accept a reprieve from a man who looks awfully smooth moving back and forth behind the steam iron? Why not teach my girls that washing clothes isn’t necessarily “women’s work”? If I pass the laundry basket into my husband’s able arms, my hands will finally be free — to hug my girls and maybe even relax with a good magazine. Suds, steam and heat are surefire ingredients for true passion. Add an ironing board and a helpful husband for love that spreads far beyond the laundry room.

Fair: Youngsters bustinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; it at the fair Continued from Page B1

Amber said. Just then, a little girl, after falling off the sheep, came back toward Bronson, crying, which didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help matters. J.D. Jellison competed in the ranch rodeo at Beef Empire Days this year, on his horse Gustavo, but recently had his leg broken in three places when a horse flipped backwards, landing on it. When he was explaining that he started off riding steers, Bronson said he wanted to ride calves, so his mom and dad told him that if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ride the sheep, they would take him to ride calves. At first, it seemed as if this might have persuaded him, and when Amber told Bronson to watch 16-year-old Garret Otter of Norton, a rodeo clown, help the kids mount and then hold onto them as they left the gate atop the sheep, Bronson seemed to warm to the idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did you see how they held on to that little girl,â&#x20AC;? Amber asked Bronson. About that time, 6year-old James Carlson of Garden City managed to hold on to the sheep he rode for several seconds, prompting his older brothers, Andrew and Tim, to cheer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You should have ridden without the clown,â&#x20AC;? they told him. When the two brothers told their little sister, 4-yearold Ellen Carson, that she could do it next year, she simply said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do

squeezed my legs,â&#x20AC;? he said, to which his brother said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Henry, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just like riding a dog.â&#x20AC;? Connie Gross of Holcomb, who was in the stands of the horse palace to cheer her 4-H club members, said that there are a couple of things to keep in mind when mutton bustinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid of the animal or falling off â&#x20AC;&#x201D; maybe the animal might roll on you, so just hang on tight,â&#x20AC;? she said. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just what 8-year old Alya Arana of Garden City did, and in the end, it was she and James Carlson who prevailed. Both had never attempted it before, but seemed to be naturals at it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was fun,â&#x20AC;? Arana said. Both finalists now have the opportunity to compete at the Midwest Finals at the Lancaster Arena in Lincoln, Neb., on Oct. 19 and 20, where they could win prizes, such as belt buckles and T-shirts.

Heat is becoming the norm By MIKE CORN

The Hays Daily News

KEITH SEBELIUS RESERVOIR (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mike Lentz watched in amazement as the digital readout to his thermometer ticked higher and higher in late June. It hit 111. Then 113. When it hit 117.1, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought, wow,â&#x20AC;? said Lentz, the Bureau of Reclamationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dam superintendent. About 5 minutes later, it hit 118 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a record for the Bureau of Reclamation shop below the dam holding back the lake water. It also was the hot spot in the nation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 20 degrees hotter than Death Valley National Park. It was only 3 degrees warmer than Hill City, about 35 miles to the south where back-to-back temperatures of 115 degrees brought national attention. All across northwest Kansas in May and especially in June, it has been an endless onslaught of high heat â&#x20AC;&#x201D; killing three, 65-, 46- and 43-year-old men, in northwest Kansas. July isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any better, as heat is setting new records. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been little rain as well, and what has fallen has been spotty. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a scenario many expect will be played out again and again. Perhaps, the Great American Desert is returning, this time for real as climate conditions change and a new pattern of warmer winters and hotter summers emerge. Fort Hays State University professor John Heinrichs pins much of the change on climate change brought on by an increase in greenhouse gases. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more likely than not. There certainly are underlying trends that are going on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been waiting for this for a while, quite a while.â&#x20AC;? A single string of 100degree days isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to convince Heinrichs, who has studied the climatology of western Kansas, that climate change is to blame. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the pattern. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This pattern is so consistent over several years,â&#x20AC;? he said of the gradually warming temperatures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can see the records that have been standing for a long time all falling.â&#x20AC;?

Readers weigh in on issue with chatty friend Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Speechless in Omaha,” whose friend, “Sharon,” wouldn’t stop talking. I am a physician and also the mother of an adult son with a serious mental illness. Sharon’s speech is suggestive of “pressured speech,” which is a hallmark of bipolar mania or hypomania. It also could be caused by extreme anxiety, certain drugs and occasionally schizophrenia and other illnesses. The person talks rapidly, nonstop, loudly and with urgency, interrupts and is hard to interrupt, and can be tangential (off topic). Mental illnesses commonly start in young people in their late teens or early 20s. However, people who are not severely afflicted can go undiagnosed for years, and Sharon is described as having been talkative and tangential for some time. The best thing “Speechless” can do is encourage Sharon to see a doctor. She might start by asking Sharon whether she has been under stress or feeling anxious lately. People with mental illnesses often do not perceive that there is anything wrong with them. If “Speechless” knows her friend’s doctor, informing

him or her of her observations would be very helpful. Though a provider can never divulge anything about a patient without consent, it is perfectly legal and often invaluable for them to receive information about a patient. — Vermont Reader Dear Vermont: Thank you for your expertise. Our readers were eager to weigh in on the various possibilities of dealing with Sharon. Read on for more: From Florida: Sharon sounds like she may have ADHD. I have a friend like that: very bright, entertaining and a mouth going a mile a minute, unable to contain herself. I love her, and she drives me nuts. She now can focus more if I remind her. Texas: There is a good possibility that Sharon is on diet pills or uppers. Midwest: It would be better in the long run to tell Sharon the truth. She should take Sharon’s

hand, look directly into her eyes and say, “Do you realize that you do all of the talking and interrupt me constantly? I feel like you have no interest in me at all.” This is the kindest and bravest thing to do (it’s called moral courage), and it’s better not to indulge her friend’s greed for attention. California: She might inquire whether Sharon has increased her coffee intake. I have seen people order a quadruple shot of espresso at a coffee store and get unbelievably chatty. That was enough for me to switch to decaf. Ohio: There is a possibility that Sharon could be in an early stage of dementia. I have two friends who had been great conversationalists and slightly selfcentered. They became more so, dominating the conversations, veering back to familiar subjects, deflecting questions to familiar ground, rarely asking questions in conversation. To continue a friendship in these situations is difficult, but it’s easier if you understand the cause and limit the amount of time in each contact. Louisiana: You should have mentioned

the possibility of bipolar disorder. Sharon sounds as though she could be in the early manic phase. Other signs would include weight loss, lack of sleep and outof-control spending. New York: Sharon has a compulsive disorder. Maybe an intervention is necessary. Cut a piece of duct tape about 6 inches long, and the next time you see her, place the tape over her mouth with a big smile and say, “Now maybe someone else can talk for a change.” If she gets angry and decides to “unfriend” you, you haven’t lost much. She is too self-centered to be interested in you anyway.

Tennis elbow can strike non-tennis players DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I played tennis since I was a young boy and continued to play it twice a week through my adult years. I retired three months ago, and now have been playing tennis daily. I have come down with tennis elbow. How could this happen when I’ve played regularly most of my life? How do I go about treating it? — P.L. Let’s orient readers to where your problem is. Let your ar m dangle down at your side with the palm facing forward. On the thumb side of your elbow toward the back you’ll feel a nubbin of bone, the lateral epicondyle. It’s the place of attachment for muscles on the back of the forearm, the hairy side. Inflammation and small tears of the attachment are tennis elbow. Tennis elbow isn’t unique to tennis players. Carpenters, gardeners, painters and briefcase carriers are examples of people other than tennis players who develop the problem. Shaking hands, turning doorknobs and pouring milk from a full carton bring on great pain.

Overuse is the primary cause of tennis elbow. Even though you played tennis throughout life, you were not playing it daily. In addition to overuse, a racket handle that is too small or too large contributes to it. Backhands hit off center make a contribution, too. Excessive use of topspin is another element that is partly responsible for the condition. Rest is essential for cure. Don’t play until the pain has gone. Icing the lateral epicondyle four times a day for 15-minute sessions speeds healing. NSAIDs, nonsteroidal a n t i - i n fl a m m a tory drugs (Aleve, Advil, Motrin, etc.), lessen pain and inflammation. Sometimes, when progress is slow, an injection of a cortisone drug into the area of the epicondyle brings quick relief. When the pain is gone, begin a program of strengthening forearm muscles to prevent a recurrence. While sitting, with forearms resting on thighs, and hands holding a lightweight dumbbell with palms facing upward, bend and straighten the arms 10 times. Then reverse the position — palms facing

downward — and perform 10 bends. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am a golfer, but I think I have tennis elbow. I never played tennis in my life. Is this possible? — B.J. Golfer’s elbow is pain in the medial epicondyle, the nubbin of bone toward the back of

Becker’s Bridge

the elbow on the side of the elbow next to the body when the arm dangles down with palm facing forward. Even though it’s called golfer’s elbow, only 20 percent of those with the condition are golfers. The same program for tennis elbow works for golfer’s elbow.

Saturday July 28, 2012 HAPPY BIRTHDAY The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH Keep reaching out for someone who is at a distance or quite offbeat. You need the refreshing change of someone who thinks differently and comes from an unusual background. A discussion might be more important than you realize. Tonight: Music, good company and great food work well. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You simply cannot continue to say “no” to that special person in your life. Give up your stubborn ways and really enjoy this person. Sometimes you inadvertently put up barriers. Right now, don’t. Let the child within you out to play. Tonight: An old-fashioned date. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Though you have a strong sense of what you would like to do, compromise seems to be blowing in the wind, as you also want to hook up with several friends. Mix different groups of pals and interests together. Everyone will have a ball! Tonight: Try to go along with someone’s wishes. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Even if you have no plans, you can be spontaneous. It is always good for the Moon Child to exercise and work through ever-building stress. Why not opt for a picnic and a mini-hike, or go to a flea market where you can stretch your legs? Tonight: Keep fun in the equation. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Allow greater give-and-take between you and a loved one. Relate directly and with your normal optimism, but understand that this person might experience life differently. Still, the sense of closeness that is fostered no matter what you do adds strength to both your lives. Tonight: Allow a little more wildness in. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH People keep asking for your opinions, thoughts and feedback. It is OK to stage a mini-revolution in order to free yourself up. Conversations will flourish where you want to engage. A family member lets you know how much he or she appreciates you. Tonight: Enjoy

yourself. You don’t have to go far. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You can only rob Peter to pay Paul so many times. You might need to trim your budget just a little. In fact, a conversation impresses on you the importance of nonmaterial gifts and expressions of caring. Tonight: Be with favorite people. Everyone can go Dutch, too! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Take a hint from Libra in reference to money and values. Be aware of how much you give in nearly every situation you are in. You have many more assets than you realize and often use those innate talents. Once more, reveal your energy and generous spirit. Tonight: Go a little wild. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Your attitude is contagious. You handle surprises, intense conversations and an overly assertive person all with grace. Be willing to revise your concept of yourself, as you are changing so much, so quickly. Tonight: You have quite the entourage anywhere you go. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Take a deep breath before reacting to a misplaced judgment. Unfortunately, you might have to make some adjustments to your schedule in the next few days because of what you thought. Let go, and allow more communication between you and others. Tonight: A quiet dinner for two. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH The near-perfect day for you always involves friends in some fashion. Communication becomes easier with someone you see on a daily basis. Invite several friends to join you at a celebration. A good time will be had by all. Tonight: Till the wee hours. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You take the lead with plans, whether you are the host or hostess, or simply are gathering friends for a fun competition. Try not to take a distorted comment too personally. It will serve you to let go and not give it power. Tonight: Where there is music.

Charities help pets when foreclosure victims can’t LOS ANGELES (AP) — Carla Waller believes in promises. She was married for 37 years, held one job for 35 and never adopted a pet she didn’t keep for life. Until now. Waller and her husband Dennis moved to Las Vegas in 2006 and put $100,000 down on a $330,000 home. They adopted Jake, a 3-yearold, lean, shy Cocker spaniel. They both sold furniture on commission and thought they were set for retirement and beyond. Dennis was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2008 and died in 2009. Carla stayed home to care for him, but returned to work to make ends meet. She adopted Marilyn Monroe, a schnauzer-collie, to keep Jake company. A friend added Jewels the cat to the mix. The recession stripped her home of a third of its

value. Then health problems left her unable to work. Foreclosure is just around the corner, said Waller, 67. “I know I’m a couple of months out. I can’t do it anymore. I don’t have the income,” she said. “I’m done. There is nothing I can do now.” The hardest call she had to make was to Foreclosed Upon Pets, Inc., to arrange for homes for Jake, Marilyn and Jewels so she can move in with relatives. “I am very depressed about it and very concerned about where they go because I took them for life and life is not what it should be,” she said. Waller’s story is all too familiar to Everett Croxson, who founded Las Vegasbased FUPI (rhymes with puppy) in 2008. Croxson, 59, a retired business consultant, was

guided by hometown headlines. • Nevada had the worst foreclosure rate nationally for 62 months until March. • Nevada has the highest unemployment rate in the nation at 11.6 percent. • The Animal Foundation in Las Vegas runs the highest volume single-facility shelter in the country. It takes in close to 50,000 animals a year. Nearly two-thirds have to be euthanized. In 2009, Croxson bought a five-bedroom home to use as a transition house for the pets. FUPI placed 348 pets that year. In 2010, it was nearly 500; in 2011, 570; and this year it will be more than 600, Croxson said. FUPI also works with the unemployed and those too ill or old to handle their pets, but about 30 percent of their pets are foreclosures,

Croxson said. “Real estate agents or cleaning crews call all the time. Maybe they have found a couple of cats in a closet of a foreclosed home,” he said. In Arizona, which bumped Nevada from the top of the foreclosure rankings in March, the Lost Our Home Pet Foundation in Phoenix does similar work. Founded in 2008, it also relies primarily on fosters although it did open a small shelter in April. There are about 40 animals in the shelter and 220 in foster care. More than 2,000 have been placed in four years, said founder-executive director Jodi Polanski. As a mortgage loan officer, Polanski heard story after story, so she started the rescue in her spare time. There was too much work,

added. There is no charge to a person relinquishing an animal, but adopters pay $150 per animal at FUPI, $75 for cats and $195 for dogs at Lost Our Home. A vet’s exam, sterilization, shots and a microchip are included. Polanski said the worst part of her job is turning pets away. “We do have limitations. We have a waiting list. It breaks our hearts every day when there are pets we can’t help,” she said. A few weeks ago, FUPI rescued two Shih Tzus from an elderly woman who was being transferred to a home for dementia patients. Their fur was so matted with feces, dirt and food, they had to be shaved. “She loved her dogs, she just didn’t know the state they were in,” Croxson said.

so she became full-time director and now she and two employees work with 120 volunteers and fosters. Lost Our Home runs a food bank and a temporary care program for dogs belonging to homeless entering shelters. The dogs are kept for 90 days so owners can get back on their feet. In Arizona’s Maricopa County, foreclosed homeowners have turned into renters. “Landlords can be pickier and not allow pets or they can require large pet deposits,” Polanski said, forcing people to give up some or all of their animals. The problem will exist until people can qualify for home loans again, she said. “The economy is looking better in a lot of places, but it’s not better for the animals right now,” Polanski

Skydiver ‘Fearless Felix’ jumps from 18 miles up MARCIA DUNN

AP Aerospace Writer

Skydiver “Fearless Felix” Baumgartner has done it again. On Wednesday, Baumgartner took another stratospheric leap, this time from an altitude of more than 18 miles — an estimated 96,640 feet, nearly three times higher than cruising jetliners. He landed safely near Roswell, N.M. His top speed was an estimated 536 mph, said Brian Utley, an official observer on site. It’s the second test jump for Baumgartner from such extreme heights and a personal best. He’s aiming for a record-breaking jump from 125,000 feet, or 23 miles, in another month. He hopes to go supersonic then, breaking the speed of sound with just his body. “It has always been a dream of mine,” Baumgartner said in a statement following Wednesday’s feat. “Only one more step to go.” Longtime record-holder Joe Kittinger jumped

from 102,800 feet — 19.5 miles — in 1960 for the Air Force. Kittinger monitored Wednesday’s dry run from a mini Mission Control in Roswell. As he did in March, the 43-year-old Austrian ascended alone in an enclosed capsule lifted by a giant helium balloon that took off from Roswell. He wore a full-pressure suit equipped with parachutes and an oxygen supply — there’s virtually no atmosphere that far up. It took about 1½ hours to reach his target altitude. He was in free fall for an estimated three minutes and 48 seconds before opening his parachutes. “It felt completely different at 90,000 feet,” Baumgartner noted. “There is no control when you exit the capsule. There is no way to get stable.” In March, Baumgartner jumped from 71,581 feet, more than 13 miles, saluting before stepping from the capsule. Bad weather earlier this week delayed the second test jump until Wednesday. NASA is paying close

attention to this Red Bullfunded project dubbed Stratos, short for stratosphere. The space agency wants to learn all it can about potential escape systems for future rocketships. Baumgartner won’t come close to space, even on the ultimate jump that’s planned for late August or early September. Space officially begins at 100 kilometers, or 62 miles — more than 328,000 feet. Baumgartner, a former military parachutist and extreme athlete, has jumped more than 2,500 times from planes and helicopters, as well as from skyscrapers and landmarks, including the 101-story Taipei 101 in Taiwan. Kittinger, who turns 84 on Friday, was an Air Force captain when he made his historic jump for what was called Project Excelsior. He reached 614 mph on that dive, equivalent to Mach 0.9, just shy of the sound barrier. Baumgartner expects to accelerate to 690 mph on his final plunge.

Taking the bite out of mosquitoes Dear Readers: Are you experiencing an especially “buggy” summer? It’s to be expected. How can you protect yourself and your family from these annoying and pesky bugs? Here are some hints to keep mosquitoes at bay: • Wear lightcolored and baggy clothing, with long sleeves

and pants, if possible. • Never leave standing water around the yard. • Mosquitoes are more active at dusk and dawn; don’t schedule outdoor activities then. • A simple electric fan can repel mosquitoes off a deck.

And here are some more fascinating facts about mosquitoes, from the American Mosquito Control Association (www.mosquito. org): Mosquitoes tend to prefer blond-haired people to brunettes, women to men, heavier-set people to thinner people, and active, wriggly people to more sedentary people. During a full moon? Mosquitoes tend to be more active then. — Heloise

Soda companies in the race for a new sweet spot NEW YORK (AP) — Coke and Pepsi are chasing after the sweet spot: a soda with no calories, no artificial sweeteners and no funny aftertaste. The world’s top soft drink companies hope that’s the elusive trifecta that will silence health concerns about soda and reverse the decline in consumption of carbonated drinks. But such a formula could be years away. That’s because the ingredient that makes soda taste good is also what packs on the pounds: high-fructose corn syrup. Artificial sweeteners like aspartame that are used in diet drinks don’t have any calories but are seen as processed and fake. Natural sweeteners that come from plants present the most promising alternative, but companies haven’t yet figured out how to mask their metallic aftertaste. Despite the complexities, soft drink makers push on in their search. “I can’t say when it will be here, but it’s in the reasonable future,” said Al Carey, who heads the beverage unit for the Americas at PepsiCo Inc., the world’s No. 2 soda maker. There’s good reason that soft drink makers are so eager to tweak their formulas. Once a beloved American treat, sodas are now being blamed for the nation’s bulging waistlines — two-thirds of the country’s adults are overweight or obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That, coupled with the growing variety of flavored waters and sports drinks, has sent per capita soda consumption down 17 percent to about 1.3 cans a day since its peak in 1998, according to

Associated Press

This June 11 photo shows cans of ten-calorie soda from Dr Pepper Snapple Group displayed in New York. Coke and Pepsi are chasing after the sweet spot: a soda with no calories, no artificial sweeteners and no funny aftertaste. The world’s top soft drink companies hope that’s the elusive trifecta that will silence health concerns about soda and reverse the decline in consumption of carbonated drinks. But coming up with such a formula could still be years away. data from Beverage Digest, an industry tracker. In New York City, a ban on the sale of sugary drinks bigger than 16 ounces in restaurants, theaters and stadiums could take effect as early as March. The mayor of Cambridge, Mass., proposed a similar ban last month. And in Richmond, Calif., voters will decide in November whether to pass the nation’s first pennyper-ounce tax on soda and other sugary drinks such as fruit juices and teas. All the negative publicity has some once-faithful soda drinkers cut-

ting back. Krista Koster, a 29-year-old who lives in Washington D.C., used to down about two cans of soda a day. Now she’s trying to kick the habit and be more conscious about what she drinks. “I’ve just been hearing how bad soda is,” said Koster, who works in public relations. “You start considering a lot of the ingredients, whether it’s fake sugar or the real sugar.” High-fructose corn syrup, the cheap sweetener that’s used in most sodas, has the same nutritional value and taste of sugar.

A can of regular soda typically has about 40 grams of high-fructose corn syrup and 140 calories. By comparison, the same amount of apple juice has about 38 grams of sugar and 165

calories, but companies can tout the vitamins and other nutrients juice provides. Aspartame, the artificial sweetener commonly used in drinks such as

Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi, doesn’t have any calories. But some drinkers worry about the fact that the sweeteners are not natural. Public perception has been colored by past studies that have suggested it caused cancer and brain tumors in rats even though The American Cancer Society says there’s no evidence showing it has any link with an increased risk for cancer in adults. The concerns have led soft drink companies to search for natural, zerocalorie sweeteners, including stevia, which is derived from a South American shrub. Natural sweeteners have neither the calories of sugar nor the negative associations of artificial sweeteners. The trick, however, is figuring out how to make them taste good in colas. “Every sweetener has its own notes that need to be mixed with other flavors,” said Mehmood Khan, chief science officer for PepsiCo. “It’s a bit like an orchestra playing music, as opposed to one instrument.” So far, stevia is the natural sweetener that has gotten the most attention and is already used in Coca-Cola and PepsiCo products, including orange juice and bottled teas. But it’s proving more difficult to hide the aftertaste in colas.

HBO doc tells stories of models NEW YORK (AP) — There was a time when models really were super. Cindy Crawford, Christie Brinkley, Claudia Schiffer and Nikki Taylor were household names, plastered on magazine covers, dominating advertisements. Now that every model is called a supermodel, the list of recognizable names is much smaller and mostly retired. Giselle. Heidi Klum. Anyone else? “The covers have been taken over by the celebrities and all of the makeup and hair ads have been taken over by celebrities,” model Kim Alexis said in a recent interview, “And we want our jobs back.” The new HBO documentary “About Face: Supermodels Then and Now” documents the rise of these models from the ‘40s through the ‘80s, when Alexis said “You would see me on the cover of Glamour and Vogue and Mademoiselle and also doing a Cover Girl ad and a Maybelline ad all in the same magazine.” The documentary premieres Monday and shares the models’ personal career and beauty stories. Director Timothy Greenfield-Sanders said he came up with the idea for

the documentary at a party for supermodels from the ‘70s and ‘80s. “I walked into a party that my friend was giving and I looked around the room and saw these gorgeous women and thought, ‘Geez, that’s a photo or something. No one’s shot them in a while it would be an interesting group shot.’ And as I got to know them I thought, ‘Oh, this is obviously a film.”’ “About Face” also introduces viewers to a time when modeling wasn’t glamorous, says Greenfield, like when Carmen Dell’Orefice began modeling in the 1940s. She began modeling as a teen and is still modeling today at 81 years old. “Carmen talked about how (modeling) was really not a profession you’d ever want your child to go into, and that changed and by the time models became celebrities and then parents thought, ‘Oh, this is a good profession for my daughter.’ That’s a big change in 50 years.” The film also shows how even models worry about signs of aging like wrinkles and changes to their figure. Karen Bjornson, who began modeling in the 1970s admits in the documentary that she had an eye lift

before walking in a 2002 Ralph Rucci runway show. Race was also once an issue in the industry. China Machado, who also began modeling in the 1950s, is half Chinese, half Portuguese. She first found success as a house model in Europe where she would model clothing from fashion collections like Givenchy for prospective buyers. It wasn’t until she began modeling in the U.S. that her ethnicity became an issue. “Harper’s Bazaar publisher didn’t want to publish my pictures because they thought subscribers in the South would all cancel.”

Also, a stationary vent can be installed on the roof. Such passive ventilation is inexpensive, but not nearly as effective as a mechanical exhaust fan. Exhaust fans draw cooler air from the garage into the attic cooling the attic down and thus cooling the space below. By the way, this technique can work for the inside of the house as well.

Increasing airflow in the garage is step one. This can be achieved by slightly opening the overhead door (about a foot from the floor). Slightly or fully opening the garage man door and adding a fan also can help. Another way -- add a screen door. Insulating the ceiling is a magnificent way of cooling any room including the garage. Ceiling wallboard is not needed if paper backed batt insulation is used. Simply install the insulation with staples (paper side down) and keep the insulation in place with netting made for that purpose – staples are also used to fasten the netting. Wall insulation is another great way of staving off summer heat and keeping out winter cold. Although wall insulation does not have to be covered, wallboard (or some other paneling) should be used to encapsulate the material. Doing so will prevent pets, curious youngsters and feisty teens from tearing things out. Attaching an adjustable rollaway awning to the sunny side of the garage will crate shade in the summer and allow sunlight during winter months. A deciduous tree is an inexpensive means of keeping a garage cool in the summer and warm in the winter. If possible, plant the tree so that it is located between the garage and the sun during the hottest part of the day. During summer months the leaves will shade the garage and during the cold months the bare branches will let sunlight through to warm the garage. Most hardwood trees will fill the bill (Oak, Walnut, Ash, etc.). A Fruitless Mulberry grows like wildfire and provides great shade. Insulating the garage overhead door is another way of cooling the garage in the summer and keeping the space warmer in the winter. For an uninsulated metal door add a two-inch thick layer of rigid insulation attached to the inside of each panel with contact cement. Works great! Of course, given the budget, an insulated sectional overhead door is the best alternative.

If you’ve accomplished everything noted here then you have a really hot garage and you need a wall mount air-conditioned. Stay cool!

When it’s 100 degrees outside chances are the inside of your garage may be 110 degrees or more. Garages are normally not insulated and therefore can become unbelievably hot during warm months. However, a bit of sweat equity and a few bucks invested in materials can result in a drop the garage temperature to a more than bearable level. There are several ways to cool things down.

Even when it rains, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to water your plants â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Maybe. By LEE REICH

so think twice before planting a 10-foot-high tree; it will require years of timely and abundant watering.

The Associated Press

If it happens to be raining hard when you read this, my words might make you want to pelt me with ripe tomatoes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if you had them yet. Still, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll say it: Timely watering can eke the best plant growth from any plot of ground in any season. Even in wet seasons, watering usually helps, because the water that falls then isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all available to plants. Roots need air to function, and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cats and dogsâ&#x20AC;? rain temporarily drives all the air out of the ground. Roots start to breathe and function again only after gravity has pulled excess water deeper into the ground. A timely watering will spur plant growth in those drier periods between rains.

Watering triage This doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean you need to set up elaborate irrigation systems to water every maple, marigold, lettuce leaf and lawn grass. Such a degree of control would take too much of what is natural out of gardening. Too much perfection in watering can even cause trouble in some settings, such as when it spurs invasion of aggressive grasses into a wildflower garden. Depending on what you grow, how you take care of your plants, and general rainfall patterns in the region, most of your yard might not

Making the most of water

In this July 15 photo, a woman uses a hose-end sprayer to water a garden in New Paltz, N.Y. Timely watering can eke the best plant growth from any plot of ground in any season. justify being watered. The part of the garden that cries out most for timely watering almost everywhere is the vegetable garden. Most vegetables are annual plants, so have their thirst quenched by just a seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth of roots. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, we want our vegetables tender and juicy, qualities that come from cells plumped full of water. Not all vegetables, though, are equally demanding of water. Lettuce and radishes do reach perfection only in consistently moist soil, but tomatoes actually

taste best if kept slightly dry. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sidle over to the flower bed now. Annual flowers need water until their roots establish themselves. Beyond the establishment phase, though, there are plenty of annual, biennial and perennial flowers that grow well with little or no watering. Some such flowers that come to mind are Russian sage, potentilla, pinks, coneflower, lavender and yarrow, as well as globeflower, strawflower and other flowers known to dry well after cutting. Of course, if your goal

is an English flower garden lush with roses and spires of delphinium, supplemental watering is probably needed. In that case, moving your garden to England also might be justified. Like annuals, newly planted or young trees, shrubs and vines need to be watered until they get established. These plants also eventually get along fine without supplemental watering if plants are chosen that are adapted to their locations. Smaller plants establish themselves more quickly than larger plants,

Playground design goes on a nature hike By KIM COOK

The Associated Press

Architect and playground builder Ron King is part of a robust movement to bring back more natural play, with environments that serve up some messiness and risk-taking along with exercise. Kids may play on equipment for a short time, he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but then they want to run around. They want to climb a hill, scramble over rocks, listen to the wind and play in the rain. They want to explore and discover rather than have their play experience defined by a piece of equipment.â&#x20AC;? So when his company, the Concord, N.H.-based Natural Playgrounds, builds a playground for a school or community, he tries to incorporate any equipment into the existing landscape, using or adding boulders, wooden beams, hammocks, water pumps or sand. Polycarbonate slides are built into embankments so the slides can be higher but the falls arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as dangerous. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also treated so that static electricity doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interfere with cochlear

implants, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re heat-resistant. He might put in a water pump that needs to be primed, and sand that can be sculpted. Cedar, steel and copper can be turned into drums, musical fences, and tubular contraptions that make interesting sounds when gravel, water, sticks or hands come in contact with them. There are places to play quiet games, and also room to run with the gang. Having the opportunity to do both is optimal, says Susan Solomon, author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Playgroundsâ&#x20AC;? and the upcoming â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Science of Playâ&#x20AC;? (both from University Press of New England). The trend toward more natural playgrounds, she says, is due partly to the high cost of the prefabricated, themed structures (jungle, pirate ship, tiny town) found in so many playgrounds today. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the result of growing interest in nature and local products, and of parental nostalgia for what is remembered as a more unfettered childhood. Playgrounds in recent years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including some

natural playgrounds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have gotten a little tame, Solomon says. Safety and liability concerns have driven out many tall or fast pieces of equipment. And with them some of the fun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow kids to take chances,â&#x20AC;? Solomon says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Risk involves uncertain outcomes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; going fast, reaching great heights or even hiding, in order to overcome primal fears and create exhilaration.â&#x20AC;? Restoring some of that excitement safely is one goal of designers of natural playgrounds. The Wo o d l a n d Discovery Playground at Shelby Farms Park in Memphis, Tenn., is a 3.5acre amalgam of nature, naturalistic elements, and steel and plastic structures. It was developed by the New Yorkbased design firm James Corner Field Operations after a series of workshops with local kids. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What was so remarkable was that most children actually preferred woodland exploration to playing on the existing playground that occupied the site,â&#x20AC;? says the firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior designer, Sarah Weidner Astheimer.

The resulting playground consists of six play â&#x20AC;&#x153;nestsâ&#x20AC;?; features include climbing walls, a bright red suspended net, a variety of swings, tree forts, vines and a place for quiet play. A mix of natural and manmade challenges is also the recipe recommended by Paige Johnson, who writes a blog called Playground Designs. A few natural rocks and tree stumps arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough, she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some advocates even reject swings or slides, but the experience of dynamic motion, where a child feels a temporary loss of body control, is part of great play,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes even grownups laugh.â&#x20AC;? A natural playground needs a few key elements, according to Johnson: a hill, boulders and stumps to climb on; rocks and gravel to dig in; paths and perhaps a little bridge to traverse; and a gate or door that kids can turn into a portal of their own. Finally, there should be a pile of loose parts: wood blocks, bricks or boxes of donated junk that can be turned into an imaginative, free-wheeling experience.

Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re growing vegetables, flowers or trees, how you care for the soil can have as much impact on satisfying your plantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; thirst as can watering itself. Applying plenty of organic materials, such as compost, leaves and straw, makes any soil better able to sponge up extra moisture. Another way to preserve moisture is to avoid digging or tilling â&#x20AC;&#x201D; these activities disrupt capillary water connections in the soil and â&#x20AC;&#x153;burn upâ&#x20AC;? those water-retaining organic materials. Laid on top of the ground as mulches, those organic materials prevent evaporation of water from

Whenever some plants justify watering because of a freak dry season or just because of the kinds of plants they are, do it right. Figure, on average, on plants needing a 1-inch depth of water per week, as rainfall or sprinkler-fall, measured into a straight-sided container. If you use drip irrigation, a watering can or a hose, translate that figure into a half-gallon per square foot of planted area or estimated spread of roots. Double or triple that amount for deep-rooted plants, such as larger trees. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to stand there with hose in hand, supplying that much water is going to take you longer than you think. No matter how you water, dig down into the soil occasionally and check for moisture yourself.

A narrow margin

GCHS hires Base as girls golf coach

Dunes holds slim 9.5 to 8.5 lead over Southwind in Brookover Cup.

By BRETT MARSHALL

If anyone thought either Buffalo Dunes or The Golf Club at Southwind teams in the 2012 Brookover Cup Matches was going to easily capture the three-day event, then Friday’s opening round at the Dunes dispelled any of those thoughts. The Dunes holds a narrow 9.5 to 8.5 lead over Southwind heading into today’s four-ball matches at Southwind, which were scheduled to start at 8 a.m. The teams played Foursomes Match Play on the opening round, or in simpler terms, alternate shot. Each team has just one ball in play and the players alternate shots on every hole. They also alternate hitting tee shots on the odd and even numbered holes, regardless of which player holes out on the previous hole. The three-day event will conclude on Sunday with 12 singles matches. Southwind is attempting to repeat as the Cup winner for the first time by either team since 2003. The theme of the day was lopsided scores as Buffalo Dunes had two teams win by 3-0 margins while Southwind had one shutout and two more matches won 2.5 to .5. “It’s kind of a fun format, but tough to play,” said Southwind’s Brick Beymer after he and partner Travis Leonard defeated Austin Maxwell and Phil Adams, 2.5 to .5. “It’s just so different than anything we play.” Beymer and Leonard sprinted out to a four-hole lead after five holes and then saw that lead dwindle to just one hole by the end of the front nine. The teams battled to a standoff on the back nine. “Brick was hitting a lot of greens and I made some of the putts,” Leonard said. The Dunes’ team of Jim Claussen and Jeff Debusk also won a 2.5 to .5 match against Butch Nally and Jason Just. “We got it done, but it was kind of ugly on both sides,” Claussen said. “You can’t stay in a rhythm in this format. There’s always some pressure not to screw up your partner. You do things you don’t normally do. The key is getting off the tee and then it’s easier from there.” The father-son duo of Eric and Taylor Larsen also won 2.5 points for Southwind as the family team defeated Kendall Kepley and Verl Seger.

Melinda Base, a former standout player for Phillipsburg High School and Fort Hays State University, has been hired as the new girls golf coach at Garden City High School. The announcement was made Friday by GCHS athletic director Martin Segovia. Base, a 2011 FSHU graduate, was a four-year golfer for the Lady Tigers. She also competed on the Phillipsburg High School boys golf team, where she played for her father. The hiring of Base fills the vacancy created by the departure of former coach Lloyd Tiffany. Tiffany left the school district as a teacher following the 2011-12 school year and as a result was not reappointed to a supplemental contract. “I found out about the opening sometime in mid-June by word of mouth,” Base said in an interview with The Telegram. “I talked with Mr. Segovia, and we had our first interview in early July. I am really excited to take this opportunity.” Base, whose maiden name was Schwimmer, recently married Holcomb’s Dustin Base. She will be a third-grade teacher at Abe Hubert Elementary School. “I’ve done a lot of coaching with junior programs and working with my dad,” Base said of her past golfing experience. “He did a lot of stuff for the Kansas junior golf, and he coached for 27 years, so I’ve learned a lot from him.” During her sophomore year at FHSU, the Lady Tigers won the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference title and earned a bid to the NCAA Division II Super Regional, where they placed fifth, just missing a chance to compete at the national championship. “I think the key to any successful program is putting excitement into it for the kids who are playing,” Base said. “I will want to set goals for the individuals, goals for the team and I want to develop a stronger program by working with the younger kids during the summer months. I want to build a strong team and program that will last.” Base inherits a Lady Buffs See Coach, Page D3

With royalty and rock, Britain opens its Olympics LONDON (AP) — The queen and James Bond gave the London Olympics a royal entrance like no other Friday in an opening ceremony that rolled to the rock of the Beatles, the Stones and The Who. And the creative genius of Danny Boyle spliced it all together. Brilliant. Cheeky, too. The highlight of the Oscarwinning director’s $42 million show was pure movie magic, using trickery to make it seem that Britain’s beloved 86-yearold Queen Elizabeth II had parachuted into the stadium with the nation’s most famous spy. A short film showed 007 driving up to Buckingham Palace in a black London cab and, pursued by her majesty’s royal dogs — Monty, Willow and Holly, playing themselves — meeting the queen, who played herself. “Good evening, Mr. Bond,” she said. They were shown flying in a helicopter over London landmarks and a waving statue of Winston Churchill — the queen in a salmon-colored gown, Bond dashing as ever in a black tuxedo — to the stadium and then leaping out into the inky night. At the same moment, real skydivers appeared in the skies over the stadium throbbing to the James Bond soundtrack. And moments after that, the monarch appeared in person, accompanied by her husband Prince Philip. Organizers said it was thought to be the first time the monarch has acted on film. “The queen made herself

In the stadium, Elizabeth stood solemnly while a children’s choir serenaded her with “God Save the Queen,” and members of the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force raised the Union Jack. Boyle sprang a giant surprise and picked seven teenage athletes for the supreme honor of igniting the Olympic cauldron. Together, they touched flaming torches to trumpet-like tubes

that spread into a ring of fire. The flames rose skyward and joined elegantly together to form the cauldron. Fireworks erupted over the stadium to music from Pink Floyd. With a singalong of “Hey Jude,” Beatle Paul McCartney closed a show that ran 45 minutes beyond its scheduled three hours. Much of the opening ceremony was an encyclopedic review of British music history, from a 1918 Broadway standard adopted by the West Ham football team to

the Rolling Stones’ “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” to “Bohemian Rhapsody,” by still another Queen. The evening started with fighter jets streaming red, white and blue smoke and roaring over the stadium, packed with a buzzing crowd of 60,000 people, at 8:12 p.m. — or 20:12 in the 24-hour time observed by Britons. Boyle, one of Britain’s most successful filmmakers and director of “Slumdog Millionaire” and “Trainspotting,” had a ball

with his favored medium, mixing filmed passages with live action in the stadium to hypnotic effect, with 15,000 volunteers taking part in the show. Actor Rowan Atkinson as “Mr. Bean” provided laughs, shown dreaming that he was appearing in “Chariots of Fire,” the inspiring story of a Scotsman and an Englishman at the 1924 Paris Games. There was a high-speed flyover of the Thames, the river that winds like a vein through London and was the gateway for the city’s rise over the centuries as a great global hub of trade and industry. Headlong rushes of movie images took spectators on wondrous, heart-racing voyages through everything British: a cricket match, the London Tube and the roaring, abundant seas that buffet and protect this island nation. Boyle turned the stadium into a throbbing juke box, with a nonstop rock and pop homage to cool Britannia that ensured the show never caught its breath. The throbbing soundtrack included the Sex Pistols’ “Pretty Vacant” and a snippet of its version of “God Save the Queen” — an anti-establishment punk anthem once banned by the BBC. There were The Who’s “My Generation” and other tracks too numerous to mention, but not to dance to. Opening the ceremony, children popped balloons with each number from 10 to 1, leading a See Olympics, Page D3

“It was fun to see them pair us together,” said father Eric. “It was like having your own caddie. We know each other’s yards. It’s a tough format, but I thought overall we played pretty well. We got a few breaks, and I think we got some help out of those guys. It wasn’t as good as I know they can play.” The final match on the course involved pros Cole Wasinger of The Dunes and Ryan Martin of Southwind. On the back nine with the match all even for the final point, Wasinger rolled in a lengthy birdie putt to nail down the final point that gave the host team the one point advantage. Wasinger and his partner, Loran Richmeier, won all three of their points. In other matches, Lee Barrett and Thad Despain of The Dunes blanked Bob Beymer and Larry Gustafson, 3-0; Grant Vollertsen and Gerry Schultz of

Arroyo pitches Reds past Rockies, 3-0 DENVER (AP) — Bronson Arroyo pitched effectively into the seventh inning, Ryan Ludwick scored twice and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Colorado Rockies 30 Friday night for their eighth straight victory. Ludwick, Scott Rolen and Ryan Hanigan had two hits apiece for the Reds, who have won 12 of 14 since the All-Star break and tied Washington for the best record in the National League. Aroldis Chapman worked the ninth for his 20th save in 24 chances. Carlos Gonzalez and

Jordan Pacheco each had two hits for the Rockies, who have lost seven of nine. Arroyo (6-6) retired his first 11 batters before Gonzalez singled with two outs in the fourth. The right-hander left with two on in the seventh, but Alfredo Simon retired pinch-hitter Eric Young Jr. to end the threat. Arroyo allowed six hits and struck out three in 6 2/3 innings. It was the first time this season he won back-to-back starts. The Reds broke up a scoreless game when they got to Rockies starter

Drew Pomeranz in the fourth. Brandon Phillips led off with a single and moved to second on a fly to right. Ludwick followed with a double down the left-field line to score Phillips. Rolen singled off Pomeranz’s right leg to put runners at the corners and Todd Frazier drove home Ludwick with a sacrifice fly to make it 2-0. The Rockies threatened in the fifth when Pacheco doubled with one out to put runners at second and third, but Arroyo struck out Josh Rutledge and got Pomeranz on a grounder

to end the inning. The Reds added another run in the sixth. Ludwick walked with one out and Rolen singled to end Pomeranz’s night. Adam Ottavino came on and threw two wild pitches that allowed Ludwick to score, making it 3-0. Pomeranz (1-6) gave up three runs and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings. He struck out five and walked one. NOTES: Rolen played in his 2,000th career game. ... On their off day Thursday, the Rockies visited victims of the Aurora theater shooting at a local hospital.

program that is coming off its most successful four-year run in history, including a second-place Class 6A finish in 2011. Returning from that team are senior Abbey Campbell and junior Abbi Shaddix, both of whom claimed individual tournament titles a season ago and have been competing on the summer golf circuit. “I’ve heard a little about them, but I’ve not had a chance to follow them as much as I would like,” Base said. “I knew they had a solid team, and this group of girls worked hard to get good. That’s what I want to develop with the next group of players, too.” Gone from that team,

final season due to an ACL tear she suffered at the state track meet in the pole vault at the end of May. Base will have to wait until Aug. 13 to determine who else will fill out the team’s

varsity roster for the fall season. The team’s first tournament will be Aug. 27 at the Hays High Invitational. “She’s got a lot of energy and experience as a player,” Segovia said of Base. “You can’t take anything away from her, having played high school golf on a boys team. She fits us well. We’ve got a good nucleus with Abbey (Campbell) and Abbi (Shaddix). She’s got some coaching to do with younger kids, but I think she’ll help us keep that going forward.” Segovia is still working on hiring a boys golf coach as Tiffany coached both teams for the Buffs. Segovia said he hopes to fill that position before the school year begins on Aug. 22.

Olympics: Britain wows with opening ceremony Thayer falls to Continued from Page D1

countdown that climaxed with Bradley Wiggins, the newly crowned Tour de France champion. Wearing his race-winner’s yellow jersey, Wiggins rang a 23-ton Olympic Bell from the same London foundry that made Big Ben and Philadelphia’s Liberty Bell. Its thunderous chime was a nod to the British tradition of pealing bells to celebrate the end of war and the crowning of kings and queens, and now for the opening of a 17-day festival of sports. The show then shifted to a portrayal of idyllic rural Britain — a place of meadows, farms, sport on village greens, picnics and Winniethe-Pooh, A.A. Milne’s bear who has delighted generations of British children tucked warmly in bed. But the British ideal — to quote poet William Blake, of “England’s green and pleasant land” — then took a darker, grittier turn. The set was literally torn asunder, the hedgerows and farm fences carried away, as Boyle shifted to the industrial transformation that revolutionized Britain in the 18th and 19th centuries, the foundation for an empire that reshaped world history. Belching chimneys rose where only moments earlier sheep had trod. The Industrial Revolution also produced terrifying weapons, and Boyle built a moment of hush into his show to honor those killed in war.

“This is not specific to a country. This is across all countries, and the fallen from all countries are celebrated and remembered,” he explained to reporters ahead of the ceremony. “Because, obviously, one of the penalties of this incredible force of change that happened in a hundred years was the industrialization of war, and the fallen,” he said. “You know, millions fell.” Olympic organizers separately rejected calls for a moment of silence for 11 Israeli athletes and coaches slain by Palestinian gunmen at the 1972 Munich Olympics. Two of the Israelis’ widows appealed to audience members to stand in silence when International Olympic Committee chief Jacques Rogge rose to speak later at Friday’s ceremony. The Israeli culture and sport minister planned to do just that. The parade of nations featured most of the roughly 10,500 athletes — some planned to stay away to save their strength for competition — marching behind the flags of the 204 nations taking part. Greece had the lead, as the spiritual home of the games, and Team Great Britain was last, as host. Prince William and his wife, Kate, joined in the thunderous applause that greeted the British team, which marched to the David Bowie track “Heroes.” A helicopter showered the athletes and stadium with 7

billion tiny pieces of paper — one for each person on Earth. Both Bahrain and Brunei featured female flagbearers in what has been called the Olympics’ Year of the Woman. For the first time at the games, each national delegation includes women, and a record 45 percent of the athletes are women. Three Saudi women marching behind the men in their delegation flashed victory signs with their fingers. “This is a major boost for gender equality,” said the International Olympic Committee president, Jacques Rogge. These are his last games as head of the IOC. He steps down in 2013 after completing the maximum two terms. Rogge honored the “great, sports-loving country” of Britain as “the birthplace of modern sport,” and he appealed to the thousands of athletes assembled before him for fair play. “Character counts far more than medals. Reject doping. Respect your opponents. Remember that you are all role models. If you do that, you will inspire a generation,” Rogge said. The queen declared the games open. Last month, the nation put on a festive Diamond Jubilee — a small test run for the games — to mark her 60 years on the throne, a reign that began shortly after London’s last Olympics, in 1948. Former world heavyweight champion and 1960 Rome Olympic gold med-

alist Muhammad Ali was cheered when he appeared briefly with his wife, Lonnie, before the Olympic flag was unfurled. Some 8,000 torchbearers, mostly unheralded Britons, had carried the flame on a 70-day, 8,000-mile journey from toe to tip of the British Isles, whipping up enthusiasm for a $14 billion Olympics taking place during a severe recession. The final torchbearers were kept secret — remarkable given the scrunity on these, the first Summer Games of the Twitter era. The show’s lighter moments included puppets drawn from British children’s literature — Captain Hook from “Peter Pan,” Cruella de Vil from “101 Dalmations” and Lord Voldemort from J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” series, as well as Mary Poppins. Their appearance had a serious message, too — the importance of literacy. “If you can read and write, you’re free, or you can fight for your freedom,” Boyle said. Boyle’s challenge was daunting: To be as memorable as Beijing’s incredible, money-no-object opening ceremony of 2008, the costliest in Olympic history. “Beijing is something that, in a way, was great to follow,” Boyle said. “You can’t get bigger than Beijing, you know? So that, in a way, kind of liberated us. We thought, ‘Great, OK, good, we’ll try and do something different.’”

Ulrich in 2nd round of Kansas Amateur By BRETT MARSHALL

bmarshall@gctelegram.com

It didn’t take long for Garden City’s Sean Thayer to realize that Sand Creek Station Golf Course would play dramatically different on Friday than it had during the two days of stroke play qualifying and in Thursday’s first-round match play victory at the 102nd Kansas Amateur Championship. And, perhaps, in the final analysis, that is what contributed in some fashion to his 2 and 1 loss in the second round to Park Ulrich of Overland Park. Holes that had played monstrously long earlier were shorter, and the already lengthy holes that go north were playing so long that Thayer had several 3-woods into the greens as he also did on the 238-yard, par-3, 13th hole that turned the tide of the match. With a 1-up lead, Thayer crushed a 3-wood of his own onto the par-3 green, some 50 feet away from the hole. Ulrich also hit a 3-wood, this one finishing in the rough between the bunker and a green. Ulrich then hit the 30-foot pitch shot into the hole for a birdie to win the hole after Thayer had nestled his birdie putt up to within

a foot of the hole. “It turned the match around, right there,” Thayer said. “But we were still in a tight match.” On the 438-yard, par-4, 14th hole, again playing into the teeth of a 15 mph wind, Thayer had a 3-wood second shot that came up short. Ulrich’s 3-iron landed 20 feet right of the hole. Thayer chipped to within seven feet, but Ulrich countered with his second straight birdie to go 1-up with four holes remaining. The two players halved the 15th hole before arriving at the 16th, a 498-yard, par-5. Ulrich reached the green in two while Thayer came up just short. Thayer, who had about a 15 foot birdie putt, watched as Ulrich, a University of Missouri-Kansas City golfer, putted to within a foot from 90 feet away for birdie to win the hole and go 2-up. The two players halved the 17th hole to give Ulrich the 2 and 1 victory. “I played good,” Thayer said. “He just didn’t miss hardly any shots the entire day. Credit him, he played great. He’s a really good kid, a really good player. I didn’t beat myself and as we know in match play, if you get beat, you just get beat by someone who played better that round.”

Manning searching for timing with his new targets ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Peyton Manning’s arm strength looks just fine. It’s his timing with his new targets that’s the biggest question mark facing the fourtime MVP as he embarks on his comeback with the Denver Broncos. Manning doesn’t appear bothered by the nerve injury in his neck that led to a series of operations, sapped his power and sidelined the league’s most durable active quarterback all of last season. Ever since he signed with the Broncos on March 20, two weeks after his tearful release from the Indianapolis Colts, Manning has been working hard to refine his rapport and rhythm with his new corps of pass catchers. He has two old pals from his days in Indianapolis to help him adjust in wide receiver Brandon Stokley and tight end Jacob Tamme. And he has two of the most promising young receivers in the NFL in third-year pros Eric Decker and Demaryius Thomas, the biggest downfield threat he’s ever had. They lead a deep group of players vying to become the next Reggie Wayne or Marvin Harrison in Manning’s aerial show. “We always talk the opportunities are the greatest right now,” Decker said. “We have a future Hall of Famer, a guy who’s been to the Super Bowl, an All-Pro, someone who wants to win, too. I think as young receivers, we’re hungry, we want to make the most of this opportunity and play our best football this year.” Catching Manning’s passes is a thrill for a group of guys who loved Tim Tebow’s passion but weren’t exactly fans of his erratic passing.

Associated Press

Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas looks on Thursday during the opening session of Denver Broncos training camp. Manning is a perfectionist whom running back Lance Ball called a “playercoach,” a description Decker finds appropriate because Manning is that rare breed of superstar who makes everyone around him better. “It’s been great. He’s definitely a leader,” Decker said. “This guy’s going to demand the best out of himself and the best out of his teammates. I think a lot of guys respond to that.” Although he put in hours on local high school football fields playing catch with

ded up this morning for the first time since playing in his 11th Pro Bowl following the 2010 season. Before last season, the 36year-old quarterback started all 277 of the Colts’ games, including playoffs, during his first 13 years in the league. He’s never faced this much doubt about his durability, or, for that matter, his ability. Coach John Fox swears he’s not among those questioning whether Manning will hold up. “I worry about all of them but not because of any past injury,” Fox said. Manning said his rehab is a work in progress, and he declines to discuss specifics for competitive reasons, but he said his focus right now really is on developing a rhythm with his receivers. Decker is the one who’s spent the most time on the other end of Manning’s passes in Denver, and he said he already sees that work paying off. “I think every chance you get” to catch Manning’s throws “it just makes you better down the road,” Decker said. Manning said it’s the

Broncos’ collection of experienced cover cornerbacks — Champ Bailey and newcomers Drayton Florence and Tracy Porter — who will really help Denver’s young receiving corps blossom. Although Andre “Bubba” Caldwell has the speed and shifty moves to push for prime playing time, the Broncos are eager to see what kind of years Decker and Thomas can put together with Manning under center. Neither has been able to put together a complete season in the NFL. Decker shined for two months last season but faded after Tebow took over at quarterback for Kyle Orton. Thomas missed the first half of the season with a torn Achilles tendon and a shattered thumb but was unstoppable down the stretch. Decker went down with a knee injury early in the Broncos’ wild-card playoff game against Pittsburgh, and Thomas stepped up with four catches for 204 yards, including an 80-yard TD catch from Tebow on the first play of overtime. Thomas had to undergo another operation to remove pins from his left thumb

this offseason. So, he was sidelined once again when Manning signed with Denver and immediately began throwing passes to Decker, his new workout buddy. Thomas insists he wasn’t jealous that Decker formed a rapport with Manning sooner than he had the chance to do. “I basically just wanted to come in healthy and whenever I started, I started,” said Thomas, who returned to the field in May and has been doing yoga in hopes it will help him stay healthy for a change. Thomas has some catching up to do. “I’m getting to know Demaryius,” Manning said. “I think you see that just like me, there’s different phases. There’s a minicamp/OTA sort of tempo and then there’s training camp, preseason, regular season and you hope playoffs. So, I’m looking forward to getting to know all these guys throughout the different phases of a season, and obviously trying to do my part throughout the different phases. But Demaryius is going to play a key role for us this year. I thought he came back in great shape.”

Stokley and Decker, among others, Manning laments that he only had 17 organized offseason practices to adjust to his new team. So, he was among the most enthusiastic when training camp got here. “Now, it’s fulltime football,” Manning said, the relief evident in his voice. The Broncos, whose workout Friday was interrupted by a nearby lightning strike, will have 17 practices before they open the preseason at Chicago on Aug. 9. Manning was to be pad-

Charles, Berry, Moeaki look good on first day of Chiefs camp ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — As the Kansas City Chiefs opened camp Friday on lush, green practice fields dotting a countryside yellowed and browned by drought, most eyes were on just three guys. How are the knees of Jamaal Charles, Eric Berry and Tony Moeaki holding up? Fingers are crossed. Taken together, the knee injuries that took out the Pro Bowl running back, Pro Bowl safety and promising tight end before the 2011 season probably had more to do with last year’s dismal campaign than any other factor. Had Charles been given a chance to duplicate his 1,467-yard season of 2010, Todd Haley might still be the coach rather than Pittsburgh’s offensive coordinator. Most of the defense had been designed around Berry after he played well enough as a rookie to go to the Pro Bowl. Had he spent 2011 in the secondary rather than rehab, Kansas City fans may have enjoyed a second straight trip to the playoffs. Instead, the wounded Chiefs limped home 7-9, runner-up in the mediocre AFC West to 8-8 champion Denver. Haley was fired and Romeo Crennel was promoted from defensive coordinator. Their head coach will

be keeping a keener eye than anyone else on how well these vital players are moving and cutting, stopping and starting on their surgically repaired knees. So far, so good. “They all passed the physical and we will be working with all of them in practice,” Crennel said. “We might have to manage them a little bit if they get a little irritated in their joint they had the surgery on. But they should be good to go. they’re excited and they’re ready and they want to go.” Crennel said he’s seen nothing in the three to cause worry. At least, not yet. “What’s going to happen, that joint hasn’t been stressed the way it’s going to be stressed in pads and out there on the football field, and sudden cuts and things,” said Crennel. “Most of the work they’ve been doing in the offseason, it’s all planned. It’s straight-line. They know when they’re going to make the cut, they know when they have to turn. They can go straight ahead. But on the football field, it has to be a reaction.” As expected, wide receiver Dwayne Bowe, Kansas City’s leader in receptions and receiving yards the past three years, was not on the field Friday. Bowe, a Pro Bowler

in 2010, was given the franchise tag when he refused to sign the Chiefs’ tender. If he eventually comes in and plays this year, as the Chiefs expect, he will get about $9.5 million. “The only thing I can tell you is he’s not here,” Crennel said. “I’m only working with the guys who are here, so I know nothing about the situation. I have not spoken with him or anything like that.” The Chiefs do not expect Bowe to sit out. But as long as he’s out, it is an opportunity for second-year wide receiver Jonathan Baldwin to get his career started. Last year’s first-round pick, Baldwin missed much of the first half of the season after injuring his hand in a fight with teammate Thomas Jones. “Last year he had an injury and that slowed him down. but he kind of feels like he might be the guy and he sees the opportunity, and he worked hard this offseason,” Crennel said. “His weight is down. He’s in great shape. He’s got a good attitude. I anticipate he will have a good year going forward.” Starting left tackle Brandon Albert and reserve defensive back Jacque Reeves were absent for what Crennel described as “family issues,” and both were expected to be in camp soon.

McGirt, Piercy top Canadian Open leaderboard after 2 rounds ANCASTER, Ontario (AP) — Scott Piercy is discovering that not everything you dislike is bad for you. After two rounds in the Canadian Open, Piercy had a share of the lead with William McGirt — and had seen just about enough of Hamilton Golf and Country Club. “This golf course takes the juices out of it for me,” Piercy said Friday after following his opening 8-under 62 with a 67 to match the tournament 36-hole scoring record at 11-under 129. McGirt had a 67 in the second round on the classic Harry S. Colt-designed course. Robert Garrigus was two strokes back after a 66, and Bo Van Pelt was 9 under after a 66. Tim Clark, Vijay Singh and Josh Teater were 8 under. Clark had a 62, Singh shot 67, and Teater 65. Bud Cauley had a 63 to join Troy Matteson and Camilo Villegas at 7 under. Villegas had a 64, and Matteson shot 68.

William McGirt hits off the 15th tee Friday during second round play at the Canadian Open at the Hamilton Golf and County Club in Ancaster, Ontario. British Open champion Ernie Els missed the cut with rounds of 72 and 70. “It’s unfortunate I didn’t have my game with me,” Els said. “There’s always next time.” The tight, tree-lined

layout demands precision and often forces players to play it safe. “This golf is boring golf for me,” said Piercy, the Reno-Tahoe Open winner last year for his lone PGA Tour title. “I’m not

going for it. I’m not trying to put my foot on the accelerator. I’m kind of touch and go.” McGirt was in much better spirits after a round that included a 50-foot birdie putt from the fringe

on No. 8. He’s winless on the PGA Tour, and cautious about getting too far ahead of himself. “There are still 36 holes left,” McGirt said. “There is a lot of golf left.” Van Pelt sent up a roar when he holed out from 143 yards for eagle on No. 9 — his last hole of the day. Clark reeled off six birdies and added a holedout eagle of his own to match the course record with the 62. “It was obviously a great day for me,” Clark said. “I’m excited. It is nice to be back up in Canada. I have some good memories up here. The course suits me well, too, and I’ve enjoyed playing.” Rain left the greens soft and receptive, and gave players the opportunity to lift, clean and place their golf balls in the fairway for both rounds. With more rain expected early Saturday, a compressed third round will be played with threesomes going off both tees. Five of the 23 Canadian players survived the cut,

led by David Hearn. He was seven strokes back after his second straight 68. “I was steady again today. I just didn’t make quite as many birdies as I would have liked,” Hearn said. “I’m certainly not out of reach for this tournament — guys are shooting 62s and 63s. If I was to get hot tomorrow and put one of those in, you never know what’ll happen.” Slumping Canadian Mike Weir missed the cut for the third straight year, shooting consecutive 72s. Pat Fletcher, born in England, was the last Canadian winner, taking the 1954 event at Point Grey in Vancouver. Carl Keffer is the only Canadian-born champion, winning in 1909 and 1914. Albert Murray, a Canadian also born in England, won in 1908 and 1913. Jim Furyk, the winner in 2006 at Hamilton and 2007 at Angus Glen, also missed the cut. He shot 70-70 to fall a stroke short of advancing to weekend play.

Angels acquire Zack Greinke from Brewers for Segura, prospects ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Angels made their latest big move Friday, acquiring ace pitcher Zack Greinke from the Milwaukee Brewers for rookie shortstop Jean Segura and two minor leaguers. By winning the sweepstakes for Greinke, perhaps the most-prized arm available before Tuesday’s trade deadline, the aggressive Angels followed up a huge offseason highlighted by the additions of free-agent stars Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson. “It should be fun. They are a great team,” Greinke said in Milwaukee after the deal was completed. “After the first month of the season, they have been one of the best teams in baseball. There is a lot of talent there. A lot of great players. The pitching staff will be pretty incredible.”

Greinke joins an outstanding rotation that includes three other AllStars in Jered Weaver, Dan Haren and Wilson. The Angels began the day five games behind first-place Texas in the AL West but in position for a wild card. “It’s an exciting day,” first-year general manager Jerry Dipoto said. “We hope that this move will be not just a short-term gain, but one that’s good for the organization. We’re excited to see what kind of a difference he can make.” The rival Rangers were among several teams thought to be pursuing Greinke, along with the Braves and White Sox. To land Greinke, Los Angeles also sent Double-A righthanders Ariel Pena and Johnny Hellweg to Milwaukee. “I tried to narrow it down

to four or five teams and then as we moved on zeroed in on three teams and then it got down to two teams at the end,” Milwaukee general manager Doug Melvin said. “We had two good offers. It was very close between the two teams at the end.” Greinke, the 2009 AL Cy Young Award winner, is 9-3

with a 3.44 ERA in 21 starts for Milwaukee this season. The 28-year-old right-hander can become a free agent after the World Series. Greinke was scheduled to pitch Sunday for the Brewers. Instead, he said he thinks he’ll start that day for the Angels against Tampa Bay — though he

hadn’t finalized his travel plans yet. Milwaukee obtained Greinke from the Kansas City Royals before the 2011 season. He helped the Brewers win the NL Central and reach the league championship series, but Milwaukee has slumped to fourth place this year at

44-54 after free-agent slugger Prince Fielder left for Detroit last offseason. With Greinke in position to seek free-agent offers in excess of $100 million next winter, the Brewers decided to get what they could for him. The right-hander is 8576 with a 3.79 ERA in nine major league seasons.

BBB warns of scams in wake of national tragedies By ROBERTA NAMEE

The Better Business Bureau

Nothing brings out the scammer bottom-feeders like an emotional tragedy. The Aurora, Colo., theater shootings are a case in point. Charity fraud is a very real danger for those who are moved to contribute to such causes. The Better Business Bureau is warning that givers should use care to be sure they are helping this very worthwhile cause rather than putting money into the hands of charity fraudsters. Scammers can quickly and easily put polished, legitimate appearing websites online in an attempt to lure emotionally engaged contributors. They are capable of mailing pleas for money, calling with sincere-sounding appeals and appearing on doorsteps, as well as in shopping areas. Especially suspect are pleas with longwinded emotional â&#x20AC;&#x153;wind upsâ&#x20AC;? followed by scanty details regarding the specifics of where your money will go and how it will be put to use. Rather than letting fear of charity fraud keep you from giving to help the victims in Aurora, use these guidelines to assure that your gift is going precisely where it is needed: â&#x20AC;˘ Do some simple research. Verify the fundraiserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legitimacy by doing some online searches. Check out their contact information and look to see that this specific fund or organization has been publicized by news outlets. â&#x20AC;˘ On-the-spot donations to solicitors are not recommended. Instead, take down their information on who they are and invest a few minutes in verifying it. â&#x20AC;˘ Consider the tax issues.

SATURDAY, July 28, 2012

The IRS rules, requirements and standards for traditional charitable organizations do not apply to individuals. Such donations are not usually tax deductible if that is an issue for you. There may be complications, as well, for the individual recipient of direct donations as opposed to donations received through tax-exempt charitable organizations. â&#x20AC;˘ Watch out for charities that have very similar sounding names as well known charities. It may be an attempt to confuse donors into thinking they are in fact giving to the charitable organization with the famous name. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t donate over the phone. It is too difficult to verify that the person on the other end is who they say they are. Donate either at the organization or by mail to a verified address or on a secure website. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay with cash. Use a check or credit card. Never pay with a wire transfer of funds. â&#x20AC;˘ Refuse any high-pressure appeal. If they are legit, they can wait a day or two for your donation. â&#x20AC;˘ Check out the charity with the BBB. The stories of the victims of the Aurora shooting are heart wrenching. Some of the victims are unable to pay enormous medical bills. Many are touched by their plight and wish to help. According to news reports, more than $2 million has been contributed. Be sure that your donation is going where you intend for it to go. Use the above guidelines when giving so that real victims are helped, not scam charity fraudsters. Call the BBB with any questions or concerns at (800) 856-2417 or visit online at www.kansasplains.org.

Business Briefs Finance, economic courses at GCCC People who want to manage their money more successfully in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tight times, or build a better understanding of how and why the economy works, can count on a couple of upcoming fall semester courses at Garden City Community College. Those include: â&#x20AC;˘ Financial Success, an evening course meeting 7 to 8 p.m. Tuesdays. â&#x20AC;˘ Principles of Macroeconomics, with options of 10:30 to 11:55 a.m. Mondays and Wednesdays or noon to 1:30 p.m. Thursdays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The one credit-hour financial class is course number ECON1101-90, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll focus on the basics of managing your money, not only for today but for your future as well,â&#x20AC;? said economics instructor Chip Marcy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be any pie in the sky investment strategies or arcane advice requiring an attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blessing,â&#x20AC;? Marcy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The objective is to give you the tools to manage your daily checkbook, develop your own realistic financial goals, review the true cost of borrowing money and why it gets so many of us in trouble.â&#x20AC;? He added that people of all ages could use the course to discover how to develop a working budget thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to follow. The macroeconomics course will be relevant, Marcy said, because it will offer insight as the presidential election approaches on everything from the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unemployment rate to the effects of the Affordable Care Act that was recently upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. The course number is ECON111-30, and the class will also cover the principle of supply

and demand, inflation, output and the Gross Domestic Product, as well as the basis for economic growth in local and national economies. There are no prerequisites, and anyone with a curiosity for economics is welcome. The MondayWednesday session involves a traditional classroom format. The Thursday-only segment is a blended class that combines classroom time and Internet-based learning. Marcy is available to answer questions at charles.marcy@gcccks. edu or 275-3286.

Beware of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;P. Less Sinclair Corp.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Better Business Bureau is warning consumers of a scam â&#x20AC;&#x153;mystery shopperâ&#x20AC;? scheme that uses a faked Kansas return address. Consumers throughout the U.S. are receiving letters in the mail from â&#x20AC;&#x153;P. Less Sinclair Corp.,â&#x20AC;? which claims to be located at 2403 S. Main St., Fort Scott. That address in Fort Scott is actually Peerless Corp., located there since 1952. Peerless manufactures doors and windows. They have no association with P. Less Sinclair Corp. Consumers are receiving a sizeable check, usually between $1,300 and $1,400, along with a letter instructing them to deposit the check and go to a website. At the website they are supposed to enter the supplied ID and Password to get their first shopping assignment. As usual consumers are to wire money from Western Union to Spain, then scan the receipt and upload it to the website to complete the assignment. Consumers should know that this is not a valid work at home opportunity. Eventually, the check from â&#x20AC;&#x153;P. Less

RE/MAX coming to Garden City RE/MAX announced July 20 that it plans to open a new franchise in Garden City in 2012. In a thorough analysis of the Garden City real estate market, the

RE/MAX Mid-States & Dixie Region determined that the RE/MAX System would succeed in the community and is seeking qualified candidates to invest in a franchise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no better time to open a RE/MAX real estate brokerage than now,â&#x20AC;? says Wayne Fredrick, RE/MAX MidStates & Dixie Regional Director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;RE/MAX is the dominant real estate player in markets throughout Kansas, and it makes sense to bring the power of the RE/MAX brand to Garden City.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;When an existing office or new Broker teams with RE/MAX, we have found that it immediately strengthens their business with an extensive support system. Since RE/MAX has the most visited real estate franchise website in the industry that delivers thousands of referral fee free leads each day, our franchise owners benefit from the power and influence of the most recognized brand in real estate.â&#x20AC;?

Sinclair Corporationâ&#x20AC;? will bounce and the consumer is left with the responsibility for paying back the bank. Contact the BBB at (800) 856-2417 or www.kansasplains.bbb. org if this scammer contacts you. The Better Business Bureau advises that you utilize the following tips to become a more savvy consumer: â&#x20AC;˘ Know who youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dealing with. Do business only with companies that clearly provide their name, street address and phone number. â&#x20AC;˘ Protect your personal information. Share credit card or other personal information only when buying from a company you know and trust. â&#x20AC;˘ Take your time. Resist the urge to â&#x20AC;&#x153;act nowâ&#x20AC;?. Most any offer thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good today will be good tomorrow, too. â&#x20AC;˘ Rate the risks. Every potentially high-profit investment is a high-risk investment. That means you could lose your investment â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all of it. â&#x20AC;˘ Read the small print. Get all promises in writing and read all paperwork before making any payments or signing any contracts. Pay special attention to the small print. â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;&#x153;Freeâ&#x20AC;? means free. Throw out any offer that says you have to pay to get a free gift. â&#x20AC;˘ Report fraud. If you think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a victim of fraud, report it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one way to get even with a scam artist who has cheated you. Report your complaint to the BBB.

THE GARDEN CITY TELEGRAM

TransCanada gets OK for part of pipeline HOUSTON (AP) — A Canadian company that wants to build an oil pipeline from Alberta’s tar sands region to Texas refineries has received a final permit for the Gulf Coast portion of the project and announced Friday that construction on the 485mile section would start in the coming weeks. President Barack Obama encouraged TransCanada to move ahead with the segment that will run from

a refinery in Cushing, Okla. to Texas after he rejected the broader plan, saying the pipeline needed to be rerouted around Nebraska’s sensitive Sand Hills region. For that project, TransCanada needs presidential approval because it crosses an international border. The shorter portion only requires permits from state and federal agencies. TransCanada said the final of three permits it needed from the

Army Corps of Engineers had been approved. “Receiving this final, key Army Corps permit for the Gulf Coast Project is very positive news. TransCanada is now poised to put approximately 4,000 Americans to work constructing the $2.3-billion pipeline that will be built in three distinct ‘spreads’ or sections,” Russ Girling, TransCanada’s president and chief executive officer, said in a statement.

In this May 1 photo, worker Maria Contrero, of Boston, removes an elite running shoe from a sole press during the assembly process at the New Balance Athletic Shoe, Inc. factory in Boston. A U.S. economy that plodded along in the first three months of the year likely grew even less in the April-June quarter. And most economists no longer think growth will strengthen much in the second half of 2012.

Unemployment could stay high as U.S. economy slows WASHINGTON (AP) — High unemployment isn’t going away — not as long as the economy grows as slowly as it did in the April-June quarter. Weak consumer spending held growth to an annual rate of just 1.5 percent, even less than the 2 percent rate in the first quarter. And few expect the economy to accelerate in the second half of the year as Europe’s financial woes and a U.S. budget crisis restrain businesses and consumers. The growth estimate Friday from the government suggested that the U.S. economy could be at risk of stalling three years after the recession ended. Economists generally say even 2 percent annual growth would add only about 90,000 jobs a month. That’s too few to keep up with population growth and drive down the unemployment rate, which is stuck at 8.2 percent. The figures came in the Commerce Department’s quarterly report on gross domestic product. GDP measures the country’s total output of goods and services, from the purchase of a cup of coffee to the sale of fighter jets. “The main takeaway from today’s report, the specifics aside, is that the U.S. economy is barely growing,” said Dan Greenhaus, chief economic strategist at BTIG LLC. “It’s no wonder the unemployment rate cannot move lower.” Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets, expects the unemployment rate to end this year — and next year — at 8.3 percent. He said he foresees no decline in unemployment because of how tepid he thinks economic growth will remain: 2.2 percent for all of 2012 and 2 percent for 2013. Stocks rose as investors shrugged off the sluggish U.S growth and focused instead on pledges from European leaders to preserve the union of the 17 countries that use the euro. The Dow Jones industrial average closed up more than 187 points. Broader indexes also jumped. The lackluster economy is raising pressure on President Barack Obama in his re-election fight with Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. But few think the Fed, the White House or Congress can or will do anything soon that might rejuvenate the economy quickly. Many lawmakers, for example, refuse to increase federal spending in light of historically large budget deficits. No president since Franklin D. Roosevelt, in the depths of the Great Depression, has been reelected when the unemployment rate exceeded 8 percent. Presidents Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush were ousted when unemployment was well below 8 percent. Polls show that management of the economy is the only issue on which those surveyed express more confidence in Romney, with

his business background, than Obama. Glenn Hubbard, economic adviser for Romney, said Friday’s report largely matched economists’ expectations. “But those expectations themselves and the report itself were actually quite disappointing,” Hubbard said. “At that pattern, the economy simply will never return to full employment.” Alan Krueger, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, noted that the report showed the economy grew for the 12th straight quarter. Still, Congress could strengthen growth and job creation by adopting Obama’s plan to extend expiring tax cuts for all except the wealthiest Americans, Krueger said. Republicans want the tax cuts extended for all Americans. The 1.5 percent growth rate in the second quarter was the weakest since GDP grew at a 1.3 percent rate in the July-September quarter last year. And it shows the recovery is gaining no momentum. After shrinking 3.1 percent in 2009 in the midst of the recession, the economy grew 2.4 percent in 2010. Last year, growth slowed to 1.8 percent — roughly the same meager pace at which the economy expanded in the first half of this year. Even in normal times, such growth rates are subpar. They’re especially weak for a recovery that follows a deep recession, when growth is typically

much stronger than average. Annual economic growth of 2.5 percent to 3 percent is needed to create enough jobs just to keep up with an expanding workforce. Healthier growth of 4 percent or more is needed to reduce the unemployment rate significantly. The government makes three estimates of GDP for each quarter. Each revision is based on more complete economic data. The sluggish growth rate could make the Federal Reserve more likely to announce some new step after it meets next week. But Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, doubts the Fed will act at the July 31-Aug. 1 meeting. Many economists instead think the Fed will launch another round of bond buying at its September policy meeting. The aim would be to drive long-term interest rates lower and encourage more borrowing and spending. In the second quarter, GDP in current dollars rose at an annual rate of $117.6 billion to $15.6 trillion. Growth was weaker mostly because consumer spending slowed to a growth rate of just 1.5 percent. That was down from 2.4 percent in the first quarter. Americans bought fewer autos, computers and other long-lasting manufactured goods. But money spent on services, which represents about two-thirds of spending, rose in the April-June quarter.
