Hoteliers request change to anti-smoking ordinance By SCOTT AUST
saust@gctelegram.com
A group of eight local hoteliers presented a signed letter to the Garden City Commission on Tuesday asking the city to consider changing its anti-smoking ordinance to allow local hotels to designate some rooms for smoking. Garden City adopted smoking restrictions in 2007 that prohibit smoking in restaurants, bars, private clubs/fraternal organizations, education facilities and public seating areas such as ball fields and grandstands. The city ordinance also mandates all
lodging facilities to be non-smoking. But Barrett Patel, with the Magnuson Hotel, said state law allows hotels to designate up to 20 percent of rooms for smoking. He said Dodge City, Liberal, Great Bend, Hays and Hutchinson allow smoking in hotels. “We’re losing business. We have truckers who are opting to stay in Dodge City and Liberal just because they can’t smoke,” Patel said. In the letter, the hoteliers wrote that they recognize the health issues of smoking but want to be able to designate up to 20 percent of their rooms as smoking rooms. They said the current ordinance is a hardship on
guests who smoke and often results in people opting to not stay in Garden City due to the prohibition, resulting in a loss of revenue to their hotels and the community. The letter was signed by Nikunj Bhakta, Sunflower Inn; Chandra Kant, Garden City Inn; Hasmukh Patel, Flamingo Hotel; Amro Samy, Clarion Inn; Mike Gandhi, National 9 Inn; Barrett Patel, Magnuson Hotel; P-Jay Patel, Continental Inn; and Kerry Spanier, Dusty Trail Inn. However, not all the signees necessarily want to allow smoking in their establishments, though all supported the request to ask for the change in city ordinance, accord-
ing to the letter. Mayor Dan Fankhauser said if the city allowed smoking in hotels, it could lead to bars and restaurants also wanting to allow smoking. “I think this is something we have to discuss and study a little bit, get some numbers, before we make a decision,” he said. Commissioner Janet Doll agreed, raising concerns about fairness to groups like veterans organizations. After the meeting, Doll said her husband, John, fought unsuccessfully when he was on See City, Page A3
Kansas farmer sues Monsanto over GMO wheat discovery WICHITA (AP) — A Kansas farmer has sued seed giant Monsanto over last week’s discovery of genetically engineered experimental wheat in an 80-acre field in Oregon, claiming the company’s gross negligence hurt U.S. growers by driving down wheat prices and causing some international markets to suspend certain imports. The federal civil lawsuit, filed Monday by Ernest Barnes, who farms 1,000 acres near Elkhart in southwest Kansas, seeks unspecified damages to be determined at trial. U.S. Agriculture Department officials said last Wednesday that the modified wheat was the same strain as one designed by Monsanto to be herbicide-resistance that was tested in Oregon and several other states through 2005 but never approved. The USDA has said the Oregon wheat is safe to eat and there is no evidence that modified wheat entered the marketplace. It’s believed to be the first lawsuit stemming from the discovery. Similar lawsuits are in the works, Barnes’ attorney said, and the cases will likely be consolidated for the purposes of discovery, a process where evidence is investigated and shared among parties. No genetically engineered wheat has been approved for U.S. farming. Many countries will not accept imports of genetically modified foods, and the United States exports about half of its wheat crop. Since the announcement, Japan — one of the largest export markets for U.S. wheat growers — suspended some imports. South Korea said it would increase its inspections of U.S. wheat imports. Barnes referred all calls to his attorneys. One of them, Warren Burns, said that the scope of the damage is potentially in the hundreds of millions of dollars. He said the lawsuit seeks to make sure their client is compensated for his losses. “These types of suits serve the purpose of helping police the agricultural system we have in place and make sure farmers are protected,” Burns said in a phone interview Tuesday from Dallas. In a written statement Tuesday, St. Louis-based Monsanto said the report of a few volunteer plants in one Oregon field is the ostensible basis for the lawsuit. “Tractor-chasing lawyers have prematurely filed suit without any evidence of fault and in advance of the crop’s harvest,” said David Snively, Monsanto executive vice president and general counsel. The company said its process for closing out its original wheat development program was rigorous, government-directed, well-documented and audited. It noted wheat seed, on average, is viable for only one or two years in the soil.

Judges look at cattle quality at live show By ANGIE HAFLICH
ahaflich@gctelegram.com
The 45th Annual Beef Empire Days Live Show, sponsored by Merck Animal Health, took place Tuesday at the Finney County Fairgrounds, where Dr. Bob Kropp, a professor of animal science at Oklahoma State University, judged 38 heifers and 71 steers. “Basically, we’ll be evaluating these live cattle and be looking at their anticipated carcass merit. We’ll be looking at how much fat cover they would have over their 12th rib, projecting how much ribeye size they’re going to have, try to evaluate how much marbling they may have, based on their back fat thickness, and try to put that all together so that we end up with a live animal that’s reflective of the industry,” Kropp said, referring to the carcass show coming up Friday. Marbling is white flecks of fat within the meat muscle. The greater amount of marbling in beef, the higher the grade because marbling makes beef more tender, flavorful and juicy, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Kropp began by judging the heifers, separating them into two different pens. “I just kind of split them in 50-50, kind of (between) what I thought is stuff I really appreciated and things I thought I had some challenges with, things I might want to correct,” he said.

He said the remaining cattle didn’t quite measure up to what he was looking for in terms of conditioning and muscle, and were light in relation to the carcass index formula. “There’s nothing wrong with these cattle. They’re just not the top 25 in my mind,” he said. “But certainly, these are cattle that will fit our industry.” In the end, Heifer No. 514, owned by Arndt Farms, fed by Kinsley Feeders, LLC, was the champion live animal for the heifer category. The reserve went to No. 523, owned by Foote Cattle Co. and fed by Lane County Feeders. Kropp selected steer No. 152, owned by Brookover Land Enterprise and fed by Brookover Ranch Feedyard as the champion live animal in the steer category, and steer No. 292, owned by Foote Cattle Co., fed by Lane County Feeders, as the reserve. Carcass judging will begin at 2 p.m. Friday at Tyson Fresh Meats. The 2013 Beef Empire Days Merck Animal Health Live Show Heifer Division top 25 were: 1.

Correction Recent stories in The Telegram have incorrectly reported some of the terms of the negotiated agreement between the USD 457 Board of Education and district teachers. The agreement will add a high school orchestra assistant, middle school and high school theater manager and alternate school teacher in charge. Recent stories on the agreement also have been unclear as to the terms of the agreement pertaining to the school calendar, as well as the vote count, which was 286 in favor of the agreement and 73 not in favor. The agreement changed the number of school board members who will sit on the Calendar Committee from one to two, as well as extended language in the agreement that allows for flexibility in proposing an alternative calendar for the 2014-15 school year.

Thursday to a residence in the northeast part of town in reference to a child in need of care. According to police, a woman reported that she believed her 5-year-old granddaughter had been molested by a man who lived in the same area. During the subsequent investigation, police determined that the man allegedly touched the girl inappropriately and was using snacks, money and com-
puter games to entice children into his apartment. Officers identified Smith as the suspect, and during the course of the investigation, obtained a search warrant for his residence and later took him into custody. The investigation is ongoing to determine if there are any other alleged victims or similar crimes associated with Smith, who currently is being held in the Finney County Jail.

Roundup Briefs Downtown Master Plan review is today
THE GARDEN CITY TELEGRAM
The proposed Garden City downtown master plan will be available for public review at 6 p.m. today in the meeting room on the second floor of the City Administrative Center, 301 N. Eighth St. Since January, the city has held monthly meetings to allow interested residents to provide input into the development of a master plan for the downtown area. The goal of the downtown master plan is to guide improvements and enhancements that will help attract more business and general activity to downtown. According to the master plan documents, its purpose is to “establish a strong and sustainable framework that sets the character of the downtown through open space and streetscape and supports a vibrant mixed use retail and residential environment.� The draft plan was developed based on input gathered from the public meetings. After the public review, the document will go to the planning commission for its recommendation. The document will then go to the city commission for review and approval.

Severe weather, tornado spotted in area Tuesday night By The Telegram An upper-level trough of air that came out of the Pacific Northwest and moved across the Northern Rockies brought a cold front to the region Tuesday night, sparking some tempestuous weather. A tornado warning was in effect for about 40 minutes and a twister was spotted about nine miles southwest of Lakin about 9:20 p.m.,
according to National Weather Service Meteorologist Mike Scott. Kearny County Dispatcher Dee Gillock said sirens were sounded for safety’s sake, but as far as she knows nothing came close to town. “And we don’t have any damage reports from anywhere,� she said. Scott, at the NWS office in Dodge City, said hail was the most dominant feature of the storm
with some of it falling north-northeast of Ulysses. There was some thunderstorm damage in Elkhart, where tree branches were broken and a trampoline was blown over. “There was also dime-size hail along with that,� he said. Penny-size hail was reported nine miles northwest of Elkhart in Morton County, Scott said. Scott and Stevens counties could look forward to some strong winds
out of southeastern Colorado. Other than that, there were reports of lightning and heavy rain. Temperatures dropped into the low-to-mid-70s in southwestern Kansas and into the 60s in northwestern Kansas. Today’s lows will be in the lower 50s across northwestern Kansas and the lower 60s farther south, moderating into the upper 60s this afternoon, Scott said.
Negotiating teams to meet Thursday The fourth meeting between the negotiating teams of the Garden City Educators’ Association and the Board of Education of Garden City Public Schools USD 457 will be held on Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m. The meeting will be held in the Board Room of the Educational Support Center, 1205 Fleming St. The topic to be discussed at the fourth meeting is to review and approve language changes in the negotiated agreement.

As the cattle were being judged Tuesday at the Finney County Fairgrounds rodeo arena, employees of Roto-Mix cooked up the finished product below the stands at the Annual Cattlemen’s Steak Cookout. Mark Cooksey, director of marketing at Roto-Mix, along with about 14 other crew members, began setting up about 9 a.m. “We have to round up all the people. Most of these people are management, so we have to go chase them down,� Cooksey said. As some of the men prepared the grills, Sandie Bonsall and Wally Stimpert hung banners. “We picked the meat up, they
sliced it fresh this morning at Kirby’s in Dodge City and they found a small ribeye, so we can keep some thickness to the steak,� Cooksey said. The grills they used for cooking had the capacity to cook about 100 steaks at a time, and they cooked the steaks medium-rare to medium, with baked beans and potato rolls on the side, plus iced tea. Angus Snyder and Stimpert were the bean chefs for the event. “Angus and Wally are getting the beans on. That’s kind of a rush thing right now,� Cooksey said. He said they try to time the finished product to coincide with the completion of the heifer judging portion of the Live Show, so that the judge and cattle workers can
eat before the steer judging part of the show begins. “We’ll kind of watch them and start cooking 20, 30 minutes before they get a break. We’ll feed the people who are working at 11:15 or 11:30,� Cooksey said. “Normally between 11:15 and 12 p.m. is when the mad rush hits.� Kelly Wittman and Jack Kline cooked the steaks, with assistance from Stimpert, Jim Schafer, Jim Ramsdale, Allen Daniels and Gary Tuxhorn. Prior to that, Cooksey gave away samples to people sitting in the arena watching the Live Show. “We cook a couple of samples early just to be sure we’ve got the seasoning down,� he said.

Gerald Lightner and his brother, Kyle Lightner, and son, Eric, enjoyed the steaks together during their lunch break. “The steak is excellent,� Gerald Lightner said. He decided that it was so excellent that he got a second helping. Wally Garcia also enjoyed the steak and the fact that the weather cooperated for the event. “The weather was nice and cool,� Garcia said. “And you can’t beat free steak. The beans were real good, too. I like them a little bit spicy.� The barbecue was part of Beef Empire Days, which conitnues through Sunday.

the commission to allow veterans organizations, like the American Legion, to allow smoking in their facilities. Doll said there were also a number of bar owners who opposed the smoking ban at the time. “I’m thinking if we let this go for one group, it’s just going to open a can of worms,� Doll said. The commission took no action on Tuesday, but Fankhauser said after the meeting that the issue probably will come back to the commission sometime in July after city staff has some time to do some research about other communities and what state law allows. At this point, Fankhauser isn’t sure where he stands on the issue. “I don’t know. I understand the problem. I understand what the need is. I just don’t know if we can
do it. It creates some other problems for some other businesses,â€? he said. “We’ve been down this road. We’ve discussed it (when the ordinance was approved), but the majority rules. I guess we’ll see what happens.â€? In other business: • The commission agreed to waive sign regulations to allow the Leave a Legacy Foundation to sell yard signs to support the group’s 10K and 5K road races to be held Oct. 5. The mission of the Leave a Legacy Foundation is to strengthen cancer-fighting resources in southwest Kansas and to honor those who have battled or are currently fighting cancer. The signs, which would be placed no earlier than Aug. 31 and removed by Oct. 13, also will help promote the event. • Commissioners voted 3-2 to approve a development agree-

ment between the city and Stuart Johnson to extend a water line 7,300 feet east along Schulman Avenue from Jennie Barker Road to Johnson’s property at 1820 Upland Road, and charge the outside-the-city-limits rate for residential water service. Johnson is developing a 56-unit apartment complex on the property. The commission granted permission to connect to the city water system in February 2012. A delay ensued while waiting for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to approve the line design and its construction. Originally, Johnson requested a six-inch PVC water main. Because of the potential future development benefit, the city wanted to upsize the main to 12 inches. Johnson and the city will evenly split the $261,811 cost of the line. As part of the agreement,
Johnson agreed to eventually annex into the city limits when his property is contiguous with the city limits. Though the property isn’t in the city limits yet, the commission considered charging Johnson the same water rate as a residential customer inside the city limits. Instead, the commission voted 3-2 to charge the outside-the-city-limits rate, which is double the rate inside the city limits. Commissioners Fankhauser, Roy Cessna and Melvin Dale voted yes while commissioners Doll and Chris Law voted no. • Commissioners approved the purchase of Sungard OneSolution Municipal Court software system for $76,398, including implementation, and an annual maintenance fee of $8,686. The software is designed to improve the ability to track cases and create detailed reports.

echnology gives us an edge when severe weather approaches. Meteorologists can predict storms and their threat earlier and more accurately than ever before. Today’s smartphones have the capability to issue tornado warnings, and weather radios also help. While many people in the path of severe weather do acknowledge the warnings and head for cover, they still would be at risk if they become trapped and their location remains unknown. With that in mind, some communities have pushed for residents to participate in storm shelter Do you have an emergency registries as preparedness plan at home a way to give and work? Add your comemergency ments at the end of the responders an online version of this editoidea of where rial at GCTelegram.com/ opinion. to look should disaster strike. A central registry for storm shelters has done as much in Oklahoma. A state recently hit by killer tornadoes, Oklahoma is known for having a good number of homes without basements, due in part to dirt type and water levels. Some homeowners install their own shelters, such as stand-alone underground structures or above-ground safe rooms. Online registries let residents share what type of shelter they have, and using a diagram on the registration page, show where on the property the shelter is located. The information could be a lifesaver in helping emergency responders know where to search should debris block a shelter exit. Kansas, on the other hand, tends to have more homes with basements, and arguably not the same need for storm shelter registries. Garden City is among Kansas communities that do a good job of sharing details on the many public shelter locations for people without basements, or who may be caught away from home when danger strikes. But knowing some homes don’t have basements, it’s also safe to say giving emergency responders more information could offer a heightened level of security. Officials in Hutchinson and Reno County recently suggested they’ll take a look at storm shelter registries. Of course, there’s no foolproof way to dodge storms. Every year, deadly weather manages to claim lives. Challenges for emergency responders in Kansas communities may not mirror those in some places in Oklahoma. Still, it never hurts to have more conversation on different ways to keep people safe.

GOP squeaky wheel on way out B
ob Dole must be some kind of prophet. Not 72 hours after Fox News Channel aired the former Republican leader’s suggestion that the GOP put out a “closed for repairs” sign, Michele Bachmann announced that she’s going out of business. Just like that, the Republican conglomerate got an unexpected chance to shutter one of the balkiest shops in its supply chain. Bachmann, the congresswoman from Minnesota who ran a tea party-backed presidential campaign in 2012, made her announcement in a video released in the wee hours of Wednesday morning containing her trademark mixture of bombast, paranoia and error. The error came fairly late in her eight-minute, 40-second spot. “I fully anticipate the mainstream liberal media to put a detrimental spin on my decision,” she declared over vague synthesizer music. Detrimental? Um, no. It’s hard to see the mothballing of Bachmann as anything but unalloyed good news, for the party and the country. Certainly, the media and latenight TV hosts will greatly miss the woman who declared that the American Revolution began in Concord, N.H., instead of Concord, Mass.; that the HPV vaccine causes mental retardation; that certain members of Congress are “anti-America”; that John Wayne came from her birthplace of Waterloo, Iowa (she confused him with serial killer John Wayne Gacy); that God created an earthquake and a hurricane to protest federal spending; that the U.S. government is plotting death panels, re-education camps and an IRS database of Americans’ medical records; and that the feds could use census data to put people in internment camps. Whether she was calling President Obama a socialist, misplacing John Quincy Adams in

history as a “Founding Father,” or wishing Elvis Presley a “happy birthday” on the anniversary of his death, Bachmann frequently furnished evidence for her claim that God had called her to run for president — if only to provide comic relief. But for all her entertainment value, Bachmann has done more than any other elected official to inject false information into the national debate, contributing to a culture in which many conservatives detach themselves from reality. A study by the nonpartisan Center for Media and Public Affairs this week based on data from PolitiFact.com found that Republicans’ claims in recent months are three times more likely to be false than those of Democrats. The Post’s fact checker, Glenn Kessler, discovered that Bachmann told a higher percentage of whoppers than any other lawmaker. Bachmann also has been one of the most prominent practitioners of the obstinacy Dole was talking about in his interview with Chris Wallace. “It seems to be almost unreal that we can’t get together on a budget or legislation,” the elder statesman said. Arguing that even Ronald Reagan would be unwelcome in today’s GOP, Dole warned that “the country is going to suffer” from the party’s refusal to compromise. As if in response, Bachmann’s farewell video was a celebration of her refusal to budge from her “core of conviction” on conservative causes. “I will continue to work vehemently and robustly to fight back against what most in the other party want to do,” she vowed.
The good news is voters appear to be tiring of this approach, a sentiment Bachmann addressed defensively in her announcement. “Be assured my decision was not in any way influenced by any concerns about my being reelected to Congress,” protested Bachmann, who would have faced a rematch against the Democrat she beat by just 1.2 percentage points in a district Mitt Romney won easily. “And rest assured,” she continued, “this decision was not impacted in any way by the recent inquiries [by the FBI, the Federal Election Commission and the Office of Congressional Ethics] into the activities of my former presidential campaign or my former presidential staff.” Of course not. Bachmann smiled directly into the camera throughout her video, avoiding that off-center stare that caused ridicule of her televised response to Obama’s 2011 State of the Union address. Soft, slow music, with a sound not unlike a church bell tolling, played as she began her announcement. After the music picked up, Bachmann said that, although she is “more concerned about our country’s future than I have ever been,” she is quite optimistic about her own prospects: “My future is full, it is limitless.” After a recitation of her accomplishments (she attended Margaret Thatcher’s funeral, criticized “this administration’s despicable treatment” of Israel and “called out the Muslim jihad terrorists for who they are”) she thanked God and family. The bell tolled a final time as the video faded to black — and so, too, did the career of a lawmaker unlike any other this country has seen since the shot heard around the world was fired in New Hampshire.

Children still need a father N
ews that women increasingly are the leading or sole breadwinner in the American family has resurrected the perennial question: Why do we need men? Maureen Dowd attempted to answer this question with her 2005 book, “Are Men Necessary?” I responded three years later with “Save the Males.” With each generation, the question becomes more declarative and querulous. Recent demographic shifts show women gaining supremacy across a spectrum of quantitative measures, including education and employment. Women outnumber men in college and in most graduate fields. Increasingly, owing in part to the recession and job loss in historically male-dominated fields, they are surpassing men as wage-earners, though women still lag behind at the highest income and executive levels. My argument that men should be saved is that, despite certain imperfections, men are fundamentally good and are sort of pleasant to have around. Most women still like to fall in love with them; all children want a father no matter how often we try to persuade ourselves otherwise. If we continue to impose low expectations and negative messaging on men and boys, future women won’t have much to choose from. We are nearly there. The Pew Research Center recently found that four in 10 American households with children under age 18 include a mother who is either the primary breadwinner or the sole earner (quadruple the share in 1960). The latter category is largely owing to the surge in single-mother households. This reflects “evolving family dynamics,” according to the New York Times, which sounds rather nice — evolution being a good thing and all. But what it
really represents is a continuing erosion of the traditional family and, consequently, what is best for children and, therefore, future society. Before you reach for the inhaler, permit me to introduce a few disclaimers. First, I’m all for women achieving all they can. Obviously, I’m on that treadmill myself. I’ve raised three children while working (mostly selfemployed and briefly as a single mom). There is no moisture behind my ears. Second, women have joined the workforce in greater numbers because they’ve had to, not merely to hear themselves roar, as the Helen Reddy song once described women’s nascent self-realization. Children are expensive and one income seldom suffices. Thanks to the recession, many Americans count themselves lucky if even one member of the household has a job. And a single mother clearly has no other choice, though it is increasingly the case that women choose to be single parents as the biological clock runs down. Nevertheless, trends that diminish the importance of fathers from the family unit cannot — or should not — be celebrated. Contrary to the Hollywood version of single motherhood, a trend that began with Murphy Brown more than 20 years ago, single mothers are more likely to be younger, black or Hispanic, and less educated, according to Pew, and they have a median family income of $23,000. In those families where married women earn more than their husbands, the woman is more often white, older and col-
lege educated and the median household income is $80,000. Conversations the past few days about Pew’s findings have veered toward practical questions of men’s value. During a recent segment on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” guests — all women except Joe Scarborough, who looked sheepish and mostly kept his own counsel — visited the familiar question: Why do women even need men? The ladies worked earnestly to find positive roles for their hirsute colleagues, noting that men can be useful in family planning, child-care sharing, working as part of a team. Although a man’s presence was implicit in the hypothetical household, I waited futilely for emphasis to shift to the importance of fathers to their children’s well-being. Father, it seems, has become the new F-bomb. Oh, we’ll say “F#$&” in a 30-Rock second, but “father”? The term, along with the concept, seems to have receded from popular usage, displaced by the vernacular of drive-by impregnators, the inane “baby daddy.” Women, indeed, may not need men, though they seem to want them — at least until the estrogen ebbs. Women have become more self-sufficient (a good thing) and, given that they still do the lion’s share of housework and child rearing, why, really, should they invite a man to the clutter? Because, simply, children need a father. That not all get a good one is no argument against what is true and irrevocable and everlasting. Deep in the marrow of every human child burbles a question far more profound than those currently occupying coffee klatches: Who is my daddy? And sadly these days, where is he?

he nation learned in May that the Justice Department secretly obtained the phone records of more than 100 Associated Press reporters and monitored Fox News reporter James Rosen’s personal email and cell phone records, branding him a “possible co-conspirator” in a classified leak case for asking questions to a government source. These revelations sent shockwaves throughout newsrooms nationwide. Reporters can no longer assure their sources that interviews will remain confidential because there is no way to tell whether the government is listening. This attack on journalism reaches far beyond hardworking journalists and their sources. Make no mistake: The ultimate victims are the millions of Americans who rely on investigative journalism to inform them about their communities. When the government creates a chilling effect in newsrooms, it keeps important news away from the American public. In Washington, real change often occurs in response to a crisis. That is precisely what is happening here. For centuries, the American public has assumed that journalists are the public’s watchdog, overseeing and revealing government abuses. But the AP and Fox News stories have exposed a sad truth: The government is overseeing journalists. The only way to limit this government overreach is through passage of a law that lays out clear rules for when the government can obtain information from the press. Members of Congress from across the political spectrum recognized that need when in May they proposed the Free Flow of Information Act of 2013, which would prohibit federal prosecutors, criminal defendants or civil litigants from subpoenaing information from journalists unless they convince a federal judge that the need for the information outweighs the public interest in the free flow of information. The shield law would be a huge improvement from the current federal system, which enables prosecutors to decide whether to notify the media of a subpoena and how broad the request should be, without any oversight or any effective ability of the press to challenge these government actions. Rep. Ted Poe, a Texas Republican and a former judge, said that he sponsored the shield law because maintaining confidentiality “is critical to ensuring the free flow of information without government interference.” His co-sponsor, Rep. John Conyers, a Michigan Democrat, noted that 49 states and the District of Columbia protect journalists’ sources, and “it is long past time that our federal government provides similar protections.” Sens. Charles Schumer, R-N.Y., and Lindsey Graham, R-Fla., co-sponsored a similar measure in the Senate. Schumer aptly observed that a law is needed, as “there’s no supervision.” President Obama recently reaffirmed the administration’s support for a shield law and said that journalists “should not be at legal risk for doing their jobs.” The response can be summed up in one word, which is rare these days in Washington: bipartisanship. The swift reaction of legislators of both parties demonstrates that press freedom is not a Democratic or a Republican talking point. It is a quintessentially American value that transcends politics and shaped our nation’s founding. As Thomas Jefferson famously wrote, the “only security of all is in a free press.” As the organization representing the nation’s newspapers, the Newspaper Association of America is a proud member of a coalition of more than 50 media organizations that supports a federal shield law. Over the next few weeks, we will urge senators and representatives nationwide to sign on to the shield law (H.R. 1962 and S. 987) and codify this fundamental American principle. We encourage you to contact your members of Congress to tell them why a free press matters to you. Caroline Little is president and CEO of the Newspaper Association of America in Arlington, Va.

Baby boomers take charge of their aging, dispel stereotypes rom the National Council on Aging... Did you know that 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 each day? Ironically, the boomers are the generation whose anthems were “Hope I die before I get old” and “Never trust anyone over 30.” But many boomers renounced those sentiments, moving beyond their youthful prejudices to take charge of their aging in new and creative ways. They’ve learned some good lessons from “The Greatest Generation,” their parents. And this activist generation is also addressing ageism with some of the same social justice tools they earlier used against racism, sexism, disability prejudice and other social ills. “Consciousness raising” is part of the solution. Many boomers are examining their own negative stereotypes about aging. Rather than seeking cosmetic surgery to look younger, they are working to dispel the negativity that would make a senior feel the need to look younger. They are examining out-of-date assumptions, ways of thinking and talking about aging that carry an overt or hidden
value judgment about age. (Think about phrases like “70 years young” or “you look great for your age.” Swap that out for the less-patronizing “70 years old” and “you look great!”) The boomers are also calling for more positive images of older adults in the media and not only silver-haired tennis players, but also seniors who happen to be dealing with health challenges. Today we are seeing efforts on the individual, institutional, national and global fronts that aim to fight ageism and impress on everyone that every stage of life is valuable. Intergenerational programs break down barriers between age groups. Innovative empathy-building exercises use special glasses, gloves and rigid clothing to help younger people understand the physical challenges of aging and, hopefully, to also see the person inside. To encourage young people to prepare for their own later years, “age-advancing” software programs present them with a simulation of how they will look in the future and for many, this helps make tangible the idea that most all
of us will pass through the stages of life with a never-changing need for respect and individualism. Along with attitude, our infrastructure, too, must increasingly embrace “senior power.” According to the U.S. Administration on Aging, over the next two decades, the number of Americans over age 65 will double, from today’s 35 million to more than 70 million. Here are some of the goals of government agencies and other organizations who serve seniors: • Increased support for people who wish to work past the traditional retirement age • Promoting volunteer opportunities and other ways for older adults to remain visible and active in the community. • New senior living models that allow for greater choice, such as the “village concept,” increased in-home services and a more personcentered model of nursing home care. • Enhancing the safe-
Reader not sure how to stop boss from being scammed Dear Annie: I have worked for many years at a small family-owned company. I believe my boss has been the victim of a scam, but I can’t tell her. For several years, my boss has been communicating with a gentleman who claims to be Nigerian. He keeps telling her he is supposed to come to America in the near future and will bring her a check for $40 million. I don’t see it happening. There are three people sending this man money.

How do I tell her I don’t want to be involved with this any longer? — Seeing a Scam Dear Seeing: The “Nigerian scam” has been around for a very long time, and we are surprised people still fall for it. This man will never come to this country with $40 million, but he’s certainly doing a good job of collecting money from naive people like your boss. Not only should
you stop contacting this man, but you also should protect your boss by informing her that this is a scam and she should report it to the local FBI office or register a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission.

Eventually, the average age of our population is expected to decrease. But the baby boomers have a great opportunity to create a legacy for Generation X, Generation Y, the Millennials and future generations not yet named. While the boomers will not be and have not been exempt from the challenges of aging, it is ultimately up to them to create the version of aging they desire. Maybe someday, no matter what we call people over 65, the words will have fully reclaimed the sense of pride and accomplishment.

THE GARDEN CITY TELEGRAM
Accelerating Opportunity grant program making progress M
ore than 1,000 students in Kansas earned 1,398 career credentials to increase Kansas’ skilled workforce in high-demand jobs. The workforce development success was made possible by the Accelerating Opportunities for Kansans (AO-K) grant program that was implemented in 2012. Garden City Community College and eight other Kansas institutions are helping working-age adults earn job-specific credentials through the AO-K program. The programs are funded through a grant awarded to the Kansas Board of Regents in partnership with the Kansas Department of Commerce. Organizations providing funding for the nationwide initiatives include the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Joyce Foundation, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation,
the Kresge Foundation and the Open Society Foundation. The National Council on Workforce Education, National College Transition Network and the Washington State Board of Community and Technical Colleges are involved as partners. The AO-K program replicates a model from Washington State that merges basic skills learning with hands-on application learning for specific career fields. In 2012, the first year of the Kansas grant, GCCC developed career pathways for students to work in jobs that are in high-demand in southwest Kansas. The programs are adult basic education health care, English as a second language health care and welding. Both health care pathways primarily emphasize the Certified Nurse Aid field.
On Campus Cathy McKinley
Executive Director of Public Relations & Marketing
In all AO-K pathways, adult learners master essential skills such as math, reading and writing via GCCC’s adult basic education program. Once students attain basic skills, they enter the career pathway of choice. At this point, adult basic education instructors and the GCCC faculty team teach the students to lead them to post-secondary credentials. The hope is that the students will continue their post-secondary educations, earning more credentials as they progress. The AO-K learning environment involves instruction by two faculty members at the same time — one in
basic skills and one in the certificate area. This technique provides students the opportunity to integrate basic skills into career skills.
Results In 2012, GCCC provided adult basic education and credentials, including a GED, to 123 students. A total of 95 adult students successfully completed the ABE health care pathway while the ESL health care and welding career pathways had 14 completers each. Over the span of the grant (2011-14), GCCC seeks to have a total of 450 men and women complete career pathways and earn post-secondary credentials. GCCC may develop more career pathways as the program goes forward. Depending upon the effectiveness of the
program, the AO-K model may be a permanent method of instruction for GCCC. Statewide, the nine participating institutions enrolled 1,069 students, who earned 1,398 credentials. More than 360 AO-K students completed 12 postsecondary credit hour pathways. In addition to GCCC, participating institutions are Butler, Dodge City, Hutchinson, Kansas City, Neosho County and Seward County community colleges, as well as Washburn Institute of Technology and Wichita Area Technical College.
Adult Education transforming The Accelerating Opportunity program seeks to change the way adult
basic education is delivered by putting adult students on track to earn a postsecondary credential, according to Hector Martinez, GCCC Adult Learning Center director, so they can seize the opportunity to earn family sustaining wages. Managed nationally by the Jobs for the Future organization, AO-K was created to reduce the number of adults who lack job or career skills beyond a high school diploma. A total of 341 AO-K students across Kansas became employed as a result of their AO-K credentials. Adult learners interested in participating may contact the GCCC Adult Learning Center at 276-7600, or visit the lower level of the GCCC Student and Community Services Center.

Wednesday June 5, 2013 HAPPY BIRTHDAY The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might want to talk money and weigh a risk. Try to get as much information as you can, but understand that everything could change quickly. A partner you count on could become way too controlling for your taste. Tonight: Go shopping for a new item or two. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Be ready for nearly anything. You easily might become overwhelmed by everything that is going on around you right now. Maintain an even pace, and figure out what is needed. Don’t push too hard. You seem to be a lucky charm for friends and loved ones. Tonight: As you like. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Pull back a bit and observe more. You might not be sure as to what you’re hearing, so start asking questions. Is it possible that someone is being intentionally vague? Think positively, but remember to say little. Tonight: Get as much R and R as possible -- you’re going to need it!

GCHS selects Shandra Sanders as volleyball coach By BRETT MARSHALL
bmarshall@gctelegram.com
The Garden City High School Lady Buffs volleyball have a new coach. USD 457 School Board members approved on Monday night the contract for Shandra Sanders to become the new coach, replacing Sara Stecki, who resigned for the second time in two seasons this spring after guiding the Lady Buffs to consecutive Western Athletic Conference titles and appearances in the Class 6A sub-state championship games.
Sanders’ name should be familiar to Garden City’s sports community as she is the wife of Harvey Sanders, who was recently hired to take over the Lady Broncbusters’ volleyball program at Garden City Community College. “She’s got a lot of good experience,” said GCHS athletic director Martin Segovia about Sanders. “We hope to get her here in a couple of weeks to meet everybody and get started on the summer practices.” Sanders’ husband is a Garden City native and the two should form a formi-
dable duo of coaching in Garden City. Shandra played collegiate volleyball at Division I Lamar (Texas) University and she has extensive coaching experience at both the club and high school level in the Wichita area as well as more recently in the Dallas area. “I think she’s pretty much a no-nonsense type of coach who will have high expectations,” Segovia said of Sanders. “I think the players will find her easy to work with, but also will be held accountable.” The GCHS volleyball position has
been somewhat of a revolving door since Melissa Savolt retired in 2009 after guiding the program for more than a decade. That’s something Segovia said he would like to see go away. “It’s been longer than I’d like,” Segovia said about the search process. “It seems like we’ve not had the consistency that we know we want, and that we want for the kids and for the community. We owe it to the girls to find some consistency and put ourselves in a position to be competitive at the state level.”
Off to a fast start
Leaders in AJGA event shoot underpar in first round at Buffalo Dunes. Local golfers solid on opening day. By BRETT MARSHALL
bmarshall@gctelegram.com
After facing the unpredictable windy conditions of western Kansas for the better part of three days, at long last the 96-player field in the American Junior Golf Association Kansas Junior at Buffalo Dunes Golf Course finally got a respite. With cool morning temperatures in the 60s and wind barely a whisper (6-12 mph), the players were able to take advantage of the scoring opportunity as Daniel Wetterich of Cincinnati, Ohio, Michael Hodson of Amarillo, Texas, and Aaron Guanlao of Haslet, Texas, took the first round lead in the boys division with 2-under-par 70s on the 6,734-yard Dunes layout. Emily Campbell of Carrollton, Texas, was the sole leader in the girls division after she came in with a round of 1-under-par 71 on the 6,104-yard course. Campbell held a one-stroke advantage over Mabel Wong of Oakdale, Calif., the lone player at even-par 72. Another shot back was University of Miami (Fla.-bound Daniela Darquea of Quito, Ecuador, and Ana Ruiz of Chihuahua, Chih., Mexico, at 73. Garden City’s Abbi Shaddix had an opening round 79, putting her in a tie for 10th place among the 24 girls’ entrants. In her round of 71, Campbell got off to a blistering start, making birdies at the par-5 first and the short par-4 second. “It was really exciting to get off to that kind of start,” Campbell said. “It just relaxed me.” Campbell launched a hybrid from 207-yards out to reach the par-5 hole in two and then 2-putted from 50 feet for birdie, making the four-footer to get her day off to a strong start. She followed with a 20-foot birdie putt that was set up with a pitching wedge into the green. She made bogeys on the third and seventh holes, both par-4s, to make the turn at even-par 36. “I felt like it was a good ball-striking round,” Campbell said. “I hit a lot of fairways, which is good, because they are kinda narrow.” On her incoming nine, she bogeyed the par-4 10th and when she reached the par-4 14th, she stiffed a pitching wedge to within one foot and tapped in for birdie. A bogey on the 15th cancelled that out, but then she knocked a 70-yard sand wedge to 10 feet on the par-5 16th and made birdie and followed that up by lacing a 6-iron from 152-yards on the uphill and demanding par-3 17th. She was left with a 20-foot birdie attempt and she drained that one, too. “I did have fun out there,” said Campbell, who indicated the round was the best of her spring season. “The wind not blowing so hard made it easier and this gives me confidence for tomorrow.” On the boys side, Wetterich, Hodson, and Guanlao each had rounds of 35-35 en route to their 2-under-par scores. Just one shot back at even-par 72 were Grant Rogers of Boulder, Colo., and Phillip Baumberger of Lincoln, Neb. Garden City’s Taylor Larsen shot a 75 and is tied for 18th while Daniel Gaspar had a 77 and was tied for 32nd among the field of 72 boys. Wetterich, who had shot an identical score in Sunday’s

Two-division Class 4A vote approved By BRETT MARSHALL
bmarshall@gctelegram.com
To nobody’s surprise, the 64 schools that comprise Class 4A Kansas high schools have voted to split the classification into two divisions, beginning in the 2013-14 school year for volleyball, basketball, baseball and softball, and in 2014 for football. The vote, just announced by the Kansas State High School Activities Association on Tuesday, was 42-22 in favor of the split. The vote amongst the member schools had been made possible by a 35-27 vote in April by the Board of Directors of KSHSAA. Affected by the vote are the lone two 4A schools in southwest Kansas — Ulysses and Hugoton — both of which are member schools of the Great West Activities Conference along with 4A schools Goodland and Colby, and 3A schools Holcomb and Scott City. In the recently completed school year, Ulysses’ enrollment for classification purposes was
457 students while Hugoton was at 297. That would place Ulysses in 4A-I while Hugoton would be in 4A-II. Again, based on enrollments of the past school year, 4A-Division I would include schools with enrollment ranges from 729 to 451 (a 1.62 ratio) while Division II would be from 434 to 258 (a 1.68 ratio). One of the driving forces behind the vote was due to the enrollment disparity in the old Class 4A that went from 729 to 258, a 2.83 ratio, far above any of the remaining classes in Kansas. Small 4A schools had complained about the competition dispartiy as well, and then began the process over the past two years of getting the proposal to a vote amongst only those affected 4A schools. Ulysses voted against the proposal and the Tigers’ athletic director and head football coach Jason Kenny said the school district’s vote was for specific reasons. “Mainly, because we will be the only school in the 4A big division outside of the Wichita
metro area,” Kenney said on Tuesday. “We felt that it would increase our travel and potentially hurt our football gate for home district games, because we don’t know how well those schools will travel out here.” Nonetheless, Kenny said the vote had been taken and the district would deal with it. “As for sub-statesin basketball, volleyball, baseball and softball, we will have to wait and see how they set that all up,” Kenny said. “As for football, it (change) will reduce the Tuesday night playoff game which will be a good thing. It should help us out in scheduling football as eight of our nine games will be set. All we will have to do is pick up one non-league game.” That game in the past three seasons, and again for 2013, will be against nearby 5A school Liberal. “Hopefully, we can continue to keep the Liberal game for week one, play our league games (Scott City, Holcomb, Goodland, Colby, Hugoton) in weeks two See Class 4A, Page A12
ting the ball really well. I had a couple of putts that burnt the edge, but I stayed patient, made a couple of birdies and just think it was an all-around good day.” Wetterich said he had 28 putts and hit either 12 or 13 greens in regulation, but the junior-to-be said he thought the Dunes was a good fit for his game. “It’s a great course and on some of the doglegs, the trees are not too tall and I can take the shot over them and that makes some of the holes play shorter,” Wetterich said. “ For Garden’s Shaddix, who was one of the top players in Class 6A high school golf last fall, playing at home and in a national tournament had its share of challenges. “I started out pretty well and then bogeyed a few holes,” Shaddix said. “Did the same on the back, started off well and then made a couple of bogeys. The greens are rolling really fast. You’ve just got to get used to it. They are rolling as fast as I’ve ever played them.” The senior-to-be at GCHS said the environment of an See AJGA, Page A12
Beef Empire Days PRCA rodeo

The 28th annual Beef Empire Days PRCA Rodeo will once again have many of the sports top stars making an annual trek to western Kansas to compete for more than $120,000 in prize money. The BED PRCA event gets under way at 9 a.m. Thursday at the Finney County Fairgrounds Arena with the slack competition. There will be more than 140 individual competitors and 36 two-man teams in the Team Roping event. That will be the prelude to three nights of competition at the Fairgrounds Arena and numerous cowboys and cowgirls are arriving with Top 10 and Top 20 rankings in the 2013 World Rankings. Ten-time All-Around World Champion Trevor Brazile of
Decatur, Texas, headlines the Thursday morning group as he will compete in Team Roping and Tie-Down Roping, where he is currently ranked No. 43 and No. 7 in the PRCA World Rankings. The low ranking in the Team Roping is the worst he and his partner, Patrick Smith, have had in the seven years they’ve been together. This, coming on the heels of a 2012 season in which they won the regular season standings. “It’s been tough with the team roping, but we’re gonna figure it out and get things going,” Brazile said in a telephone interview Tuesday night from his Texas home. “It’s been good in calf roping (No. 8) and he is back atop the All-Around rankings, where he is pursuing a record 11th world championship.

Federer loses quick in French quarterfinal PARIS (AP) — A point from losing the first set of his French Open quarterfinal, Roger Federer shanked a routine forehand, sending the ball 10 feet beyond the opposite baseline. The Court Philippe Chatrier crowd roared with approval, then loudly chanted the last name of Federer’s opponent, Frenchman JoWilfried Tsonga. That shot was a clear indication that Federer was hardly Federesque on this day. There were plenty of others: He argued with the chair umpire about a call. He dumped overhead smashes into the net. And in a truly rare ungraceful moment, he failed to put a racket to — or get out of the way of — a backhand flip by a sliding Tsonga, instead getting hit on the back. All in all, Federer looked lost out there Tuesday against the sixth-seeded Tsonga, who pounded his way to a 7-5, 6-3, 6-3 victory over the 17-time Grand Slam champion in a 1-hour, 51minute mismatch remarkable for its lopsidedness and brevity.
A11
“I struggled a little bit everywhere. To be honest, personally, I’m pretty sad about the match and the way I played. But that’s how it goes. I tried to figure things out, but it was difficult. And Jo does a good job keeping the pressure on,” Federer said. “He was just ... better in all areas,” continued Federer, whose lone French Open title, in 2009, allowed him to equal Pete Sampras’ then-record of 14 major championships. “He returned better than I did. Served better than I did. I struggled to find my rhythm.” While Federer quickly faced a big deficit Tuesday and never recovered, Serena Williams was able to get out of a much smaller spot of trouble. Like Federer, Williams is 31. Like Federer, she’s won more than a dozen Grand Slam titles, 15. And like Federer, only one of those trophies came at Roland Garros, in 2002. Trailing in the third set against 2009 French Open winner Svetlana Kuznetsova, the
No. 1-seeded Williams won five games in a row en route to a 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 victory that put her back in the semifinals at Paris after a decade’s absence. Williams had lost four consecutive quarterfinals at Roland Garros — in 2004, 2007, 2009 (to Kuznetsova), 2010 — and so when she was serving while down 2-0 in the final set Tuesday, “I thought, you know, ‘Can’t go
out like this again.”’ That was a pivotal game, featuring 16 points and three break chances for Kuznetsova, who flubbed the last with a drop shot that floated wide. After finally holding in that game with an inside-out forehand winner as Kuznetsova stumbled to the clay, Williams broke right away with a backhand winner that had her yelling and shaking her fist.

through six, and then have our three district games in weeks seven through nine,” Kenny said. “Depending on how they set it up, whether they go north/south or east/ west, we could potentially have some interesting early playoff opponents.” After the April vote by KSHSAA’s Board of Directors, Hugoton athletic director and football coach Clint Merritt indicated that the school district’s board intended to vote in favor of the proposal. “It was a good thing to pass the board of directors and now it’s in the hands of the 64 schools affected,” Merritt said in early May. “I think the vote will be very close. In talking with our principal and superintendent, I feel we will likely vote in support of the two divisions. Out here, travel is just a part of what we do to be able to compete in sports and other activities. There are several conferences back east in 4A that might not be in favor of the proposal due to the travel distance.” Merritt confirmed on Tuesday that indeed USD 210’s board had voted to approve the proposal. “We just feel like it addresses the concerns that the smaller 4A schools have had for a number of years,” Merritt said in a telephone interview. “I don’t think it matters whether you’ve got 32 schools or 64 schools, that if you win a state championship then you’ve proven you’ve got a good team. I’d be happy to win a state championship no matter what the size.” Merritt did say that he felt that if the schools in Class 5A and 6A (32 in each) would ever sit down and have a discussion about those classes having more schools, he felt a

ly owns 17 world championships and at 36 years of age doesn’t seem to be slowing down in his pursuit of excellence. “I’ve got good horses and my timing is back in the calf roping,” Brazile said. “I had been sidelined some (injury) and now I’m getting things back in that event, so that’s been good. If you’re gonna go out and compete, then it’s all about pride and performance. If you’re gonna spend time to travel and practice, then you might as well try to win. Losing never comes easy.” The first part of 2013 also has been a showcase for his wife, Shada, who is currently ranked No. 7 in the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association’s Barrel Racing standings. She has won just under $30,000 this season and nobody is happier than Brazile himself. “It’s been a lot of fun watching her,” Brazile said of his wife. “She’s helped me all along the way and been with me for every one of my championships. I’ve never won without her, so this is pretty good stuff to watch her find a horse that the chemistry is just so good. She’s done an amazing job. It’s just a perfect fit
for her with the horse she’s riding now.” Shada also will compete in the barrel racing on Thursday as there are 64 contestants scheduled for the Slack event throughout the day. She will have plenty of competition from No. 6-ranked Natalie Foutch of Eldora, Iowa; No. 13-ranked Brittany Pozzi of Victoria, Texas, and No. 14-ranked Annesa Self of Sanger, Texas. Slack competition will see barrel racing, steer wrestling, team roping, tie-down roping and breakaway roping events. For Thursday night’s opening session, which will be Family Night, there will be bull riding, steer wrestling, bareback riding, team roping, saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, breakaway roping and barrel racing. Trevor Kastner, of Ardmore, Okla., will be the top bull rider appearing Thursday night as he comes in ranked No. 3 in the PRCA standings. In the Saddle Bronc Riding event, the field includes No. 4 Cort Scheer of Elsmere, Neb.; No. 7 Cole Elsherer of Faith, S.D., and No. 9 Troy Crowser of Whitewood, S.D. The rodeo will continue with 7 p.m. performances on Friday and Saturday nights.
good solution could be determined. “I’ve always thought that 40 to 48 schools in a class is about the right size,” Merritt said. “But until the big schools take that step, this is the next best decision that could be made for schools our size. Until those schools get together, there will be no support for any other classification proposal.” Based upon enrollment of this past school year, the nearest Division I schools for Ulysses to be assigned to for postseason play would be McPherson, Buhler, Rose Hill, Mulvane, Circle or Wellington. For Hugoton, the nearest schools are league opponents Goodland and Colby, along with Pratt and Larned. “We don’t know whether KSHSAA will go north/ south or east/west,” Merritt said. “We hope it is east because that would probably give us Larned and Pratt for sure and one other. If we had to go north and have Goodland and Colby in our 4A district, then we’d have to go out and find some extra games and that might be difficult. We’ll just have to wait and see how it all is set up. Football, we won’t know until October when the schools get together for the next two-year schedule meetings.” The proposal, one that would have created a 48school classification, originated with the Big 7 League, comprised of mostly 4A schools of Santa Fe Trail, Hiawatha, Holton, Royal Valley, Jefferson West, PerryLecompton, Sabetha and Nemaha Valley. The proposal was first brought before the KSHSAA Board of Directors last September. In November, a presentation was made to the board of directors and the item was placed on the agenda for the recent April meeting.
Spurs eye LeBron matchup SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Hours away from drawing the toughest defensive assignment of his twoyear career with the San Antonio Spurs, Kawhi Leonard wasn’t feverishly taking mental notes of how to guard LeBron James. The second-year pro was simply relaxing at home Monday night, watching Miami rout the Indiana Pacers 99-76 to set up a showdown with San Antonio in the NBA Finals. Seeing how Paul George and Lance Stephenson defended James wasn’t as important to Leonard as the outcome. “I was just laying (down), seeing who we were going to play,” he said. Leonard means no disrespect. He is just happy to know who the Spurs will play after a week’s wait following their sweep of the Memphis Grizzlies in the Western Conference finals. The 6-foot-7 Leonard will draw the primary defensive assignment against James, the reigning NBA Finals MVP and two-time league MVP who is averaging 26.2 points, 7.3 rebounds and 6.4 assists in

AJGA event just changes the approach to the tournament. “Some of the AJGA stuff can be very intimidating, like with the roped-off areas, pace of play,” Shaddix said. “It’s not as laid back as most of the tournaments I’ve played in. But I like it. I like the competition and I
just want to go out the next two days and play well.” The second round of the scheduled 54-hole championship was to tee off today, starting at 7:15 a.m. with the last groups teeing off at 12:25 p.m. The final round will be played Thursday with the same schedule of tee times, leaders going off in the final groups of the day.

the playoffs. James is also shooting 51 percent overall and 39 percent on 3-pointers. “It’s just a great challenge for me to try to help my team win by playing good defense on him,” Leonard said. “I just accept the challenge and am ready to play.” Facing a player on a hot streak isn’t new to San Antonio this postseason following showdowns with Golden State’s Stephen Curry and Memphis’ Zach Randolph. After averaging 24 points and 10 assists in an upset of the Denver Nuggets, sweet-shooting Curry was held to 18.2 points and 6 assists against the Spurs — excluding a 44-point, 11assist effort in a Game 1 loss by the Warriors. Randolph averaged 18.4 points and 10.8 rebounds while bullying the Oklahoma City Thunder in the paint, but was limited to 11 points and 12 rebounds against the Spurs. His production included a two-point, seven-rebound effort in a Game 1 loss to San Antonio.
