GOP divided on immigration; House uncertain WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans are split over the immigration bill steaming toward approval at week’s end, a divide that renders the ultimate fate of White House-backed legislation unpredictable in the House and complicates the party’s ability to broaden its appeal
among Hispanic voters. To some Republicans, the strength of Senate GOP support for the bill is all but irrelevant to its prospects in the House. Conservatives there hold a majority and generally oppose a core provision in the Senate measure, a pathway to citizen-
ship for immigrants living in the United States illegally. Any such impact is “greatly overrated,� said Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt, who previously served as chief vote counter for House Republicans. But Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., offered a different view. A Senate
vote on Monday to toughen border security with thousands of new agents and billions of dollars in technology “obviously makes final legislation more likely,� the party’s 2012 vice presidential nominee said on CBS. One prominent Democrat, Sen. Chuck Schumer of New

Burl Loving is shown with a small part of his license plate collection in his Garden City home. Kansas will be celebrating 100 years of requiring vehicles to have plates this year. His collection includes plates from 1930, the first year Kansas assigned numbers to counties. Finney County was designated No. 71. He also has plates from 1943, when a small plate with the year stamped on it was bolted onto 1942 plates due to World War II.
Collector of Kansas license plates shares stories ahaflich@gctelegram.com
Unbeknownst to most people, license plates are like history books in a lot of ways. “That’s what really got me hooked on it was just the history of it,� Burl Loving, Garden City, said. Loving has been collecting license plates for about 25 years, and at one time, had about 24,000 plates. His current collection includes plates from 1913, the first year the state of Kansas required numbered plates be attached to the rear of each vehicle. Monday marks the 100th anniversary of vehicle registration and license plates in Kansas. Duane Johnson, Topeka, and president of the Kansas License Plate Collectors Association, said the 100-year mark adds a bit of color and a footnote to the state. Johnson is also a collector and said there are about 225 to 250 active collectors
in the state. Twice a year, the KLPCA holds trading sessions, where collectors swap plates, similar to baseball card collectors swapping cards. Loving said that is how he acquired many of his plates. “You can also get them at garage sales, estate sales, auctions, other collectors. There are so many ways that you can accumulate them, if you really get into it,� he said. The format of the tags has evolved over the years, but tag collectors can distinguish features of all the tags that many are oblivious to. For instance, prior to 1921, the year a tag was issued was distinguished only by the way the letters, KAN, for Kansas, were displayed. “They didn’t date a tag until 1921. Prior to that, the only way you could tell what year the tag was was by the color and the See License plates, Page A5
Sells, longtime G.C. veterinarian, retiring By SCOTT AUST
saust@gctelegram.com
After 33 years, longtime Garden City veterinarian Dr. David Sells is hanging it up. Sells’ last day at Garden City Veterinary Clinic was Sunday. At 61, Sells said he just felt it was time, and also said he and his wife, who has also retired from the Finney County motor vehicle department, wanted to spend more time traveling. “We’re moving to Wilson, so we’re going to be at the lake a lot,� he said. Sells said the lake will be about 10 minutes away, so he hopes to do a lot of fishing, and a lot of golfing, noting that three golf courses are situated within 20 minutes of their
house in Wilson. The couple plans to travel to see their grandchildren more, as well as to see the country and even parts of Kansas they’ve never been to before. “That’s kind of our plan. To just relax, do some traveling and enjoy ourselves before we get to the point where we can’t physically do it,� he said. Sells said some physical issues with his knees and neck also played a role in the decision to retire. Seven years of crawling around on his knees twice a week conducting blood tests on 800 head of hogs for Seaboard Farms has taken a toll. “That, and playing racquetball just blew out the knees,� Sells said. “Just destroyed them. I had a knee replacement about three years ago

and now the other one is giving me fits, so I’ll probably need another one in a year or so.� About five years ago, Sells started having trouble with numbness in his hands caused by problems in his neck. He ended up getting four vertebrae fused together. Sells said he will miss seeing clients and their animals and the day-to-day interactions. Many clients became friends over the years, Sells said, and he was able to share the joy of things like a new puppy, as well as the lows of making a tough decision to put a beloved companion down. It’s hard for Sells to name a highlight. He said he’s mostly just proud of providing the care people needed See Sells, Page A5

Kansas’ internal borrowing for budget declines
Historical plates
By ANGIE HAFLICH
York, also says House sentiment can be changed, particularly through the addition of strong border security measures of the kind that resulted from negotiations with previously uncommitted Republicans.
TOPEKA (AP) — Kansas expects to rely less heavily on internal borrowing to pay its bills on time during the fiscal year that starts in July, and Republican Gov. Sam Brownback said Tuesday that it’s another sign of improvement in state government’s finances. During a brief Statehouse meeting, Brownback and legislative leaders unanimously approved a $300 million loan to the state’s general fund from other accounts. By law, the loan must be paid before the next fiscal year ends with June 2014. The general fund is the state’s main bank account and where it deposits most of its tax revenues, used for financing general government programs and providing aid to public school districts. Because tax collections vary month-to-month, the state routinely resorts to internal borrowing to temporarily meet its cash needs. It’s similar to a family temporarily moving money from a savings account into its main checking account to pay its mortgage and utility bills on time. The state’s internal borrowing peaked at $775 million during the fiscal year 2010, which ended in June of that year, and has declined since. It was $700 million for fiscal 2011, the year Brownback took office; $600 million for fiscal 2012 and $400 million for the current fiscal year. “I’m really pleased that we’re, at this point, getting that number down,� Brownback said. “We’re making good progress.� But Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, was skeptical that the state’s finances will remain strong. Hensley noted that the Republican-dominated Legislature has approved personal income tax cuts that are expected to result in a net loss of revenues to the state of $4.1 billion through fiscal 2018. Democrats opposed the cuts as reckless, and Hensley predicted that the state will soon be resorting to greater internal borrowing to pay its bills on time. “I think the trend will reverse itself,� Hensley said.

Wichita to get new high school WICHITA (AP) — After months of debate, the Wichita school board decided to build a new Southeast High School, rather than renovate the current building. The board voted Monday night to proceed with construction of a $54 million high school about six miles from the current building. It isn’t expected to open until 2016. The project will be funded with money from a 2008 bond issue, which was originally targeted to renovating the old school and building a new one. But board members said a reduction of nearly $60 million in state aid since that bond issue passed made it difficult to operate two schools. The old school will be used for administration offices. And the district will negotiate to bring some programs from Wichita Area Technical College to the old building.

TownPlace Suites going up in Garden City By RUTH CAMPBELL
rcampbell@gctelegram.com
Around April 2014, Garden City will have its first Marriott hotel. The TownPlace Suites by Marriott is being developed by Plains Management of Oklahoma City at 3510 Kansas Ave. Project cost is an estimated $9.5 million. Ryan Slater, managing partner of Plains Management in Oklahoma City, said the foundation for the four-story TownPlace Suites was poured at the beginning of May. The hotel will offer 120 suites for extended stays. About 88 of the suites will be one- and two-bedroom studios with full-size refrigerators, stoves, microwaves and cooktops. The remaining rooms will be open-plan suites. “We should have the first four walls up right now,” Slater said. Kim Inderlied, executive director of the Finney County Convention and Visitors Bureau, said housing is “really tight right now” in Garden City, “so extended stay hotels are one option for people coming in for work.” “I know Menards had a difficult time finding living space for their employees,” Inderlied said. She added that some travelers appreciate the extended stay environment and “for families with children, you can’t beat it.” An identical hotel is going up in Dodge City — one that should be open in March 2014, Slater said. Both are being built by HDI Hotels of Dixon, Ill. The hotels in Garden City and Dodge City are expected to employ

A crew works on what will be the TownPlace Suites by Marriott at the corner of Kansas Avenue and Jennie Barker Road Tuesday afternoon. 20 to 25 people each, both hourly and salaried. “It’s always our goal to be hiring full-time employees and people that are more long-term,” Slater said. “The last thing we want is a lot of turnover. I think we always think of it that way rather than short-term fixes.” A wage survey will be conducted to determine the local going rate for hotel staff members. “... We like to hire (at) what we think is a competitive rate with competitive benefits and other things,” Slater said. “... (There will) be employee benefits with health
insurance and 401Ks, all the things that come with employment working for a little bit larger company.” First announced in June 2012, the TownPlace Suites, as with most hotels, took a lot of planning, Slater said. Once the site was found, things “moved pretty quick,” Slater said. “We’ve been working on this for over a year. ... It’s the planning, the equity part of having to find partners, getting banks, (and) getting a brand on board,” he said. And with Marriott, the company inspects the hotels. “It needs to be up to Marriott

KDHE to host regional listening sessions TOPEKA — This week the Kansas Department of Health and Environment is scheduled to begin a series of regional listening sessions with service providers to discuss the joint role of public heath and primary care in improving health outcomes. The series is titled “Impacting Population Health: A Statewide Conversation.” KDHE Secretary and State Health Officer Dr. Robert Moser will deliver remarks at each meeting, highlight partnerships and initiate discussion around the opportunities for public health and primary care. The first meeting is today in Wichita, with the remaining sessions in Chanute, Garden City, Salina, Colby, Topeka and Kansas City. The Garden City session is scheduled for 5 to 8:30 p.m. July 8 at the Clarion Inn. “The objective of these meetings is to start, or advance, a conversation that helps identify barriers and opportunities for collaboration among provider groups in our public health and primary care sectors. Already, many Kansas communities have identified innovative strategies for collaboration, and these efforts are improving the quality of life for Kansans,” said Moser. “These conversations are essential in the work to improve population health.” If any member of the public has questions about the sessions, call Jane Shirley at (785) 296-6549.

standards,” Slater said. The hotel will sit on a 6-acre site with the lodging taking up 2 to 2.5 acres. The remainder of the land could be used for another hotel, depending on how this one does, Slater said. “This this will be a good test. I think we kind of have to strategically look at how well this does. We’re putting in 120 rooms, which is a big amount of rooms to put in a smaller market like this. We want to see how those get absorbed first, especially with another 120 rooms 50 miles away,” he said. The developer doesn’t see the hotels as being in competition with each other. “... I think if anything, we’ll look at it as an advantage. We can sell them both with a single salesperson if we have to. I think, if anything, they will complement each other,” Slater said. Two other hotels are also going up in Garden City, with a third possibly on the way in Holcomb. Amro Samy, owner of Clarion Inn, 1911 E. Kansas Ave., is building a Sleep Inn right next to his current hotel, which he plans to open in July. And P-Jay Patel, owner of Continental Inn, is building Best Western Plus-Emerald Inn & Suites near the Holiday Inn Express, 2502 E. Kansas Ave., which is expected to open in late fall. Also, Choice Hotels has submitted a letter of intent to build a hotel in Holcomb as part of a larger development at the intersection of Big Lowe and Jones roads near the exit of U.S. Highway 50.
May home sales best since 2007
TOPEKA (AP) — Home sales in May were the highest in Kansas for that month since 2007, according to the Kansas Association of Realtors. The state recorded a 14.2 percent increase in home sales last month with 3,727 units, compared to 3,265 in May 2012. Nationwide sales rose 12.9 percent in May, the association said. Another 3,418 sales were pending at the end of May, up 3.4 percent from May 2012, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported. The increased sales means real estate agents are seeing a dwindling supply of homes available for sale, according to the association’s president, Steve McCullough. The available inventory at the end of May was 15,112 homes for sale. If current sales rates continue, it would take about four months to run through the housing inventory currently listed. In January, 13,565 houses for sale provided a 7.7-month supply, the association said. Homes were on the market for an average of 85 days in May. Prices also rose in May, with an average home price of $174,681, up 9.5 percent from $159,490 in May 2012. The median sales price statewide was $156,000, an increase from $144,850 in May 2012. The median price is the point at which half of the homes sold for more and half sold for less, unlike the average price, which can be influenced by the sale of a few extremely expensive homes.
Wheat crop dismal in west, bountiful elsewhere WICHITA (AP) — Wheat grower Randy Fritzemeier slowly drove his combine Tuesday over thick stands of winter wheat and counted himself a lot more fortunate than his neighbors out in far western Kansas where a lingering drought has decimated crops. But here on his Stafford farm, located just 30 miles west of Hutchinson in central Kansas, this season’s crop is better than average, he said in a telephone interview from the cab of his combine. He began cutting his 1,300 acres of winter wheat last Friday afternoon and his test weights have been running between 60 and 64 pounds per bushel — far better than the 60pound benchmark for top quality wheat. When asked about what kind of yields he was getting, Fritzemeier hesitated. “I almost hate to say because it is so good,” he replied. “I am afraid it might make the market drop.”
Prodded for a number, he disclosed he has been getting between 50 and 60 bushels an acre. On an average year, he usually brings in 40 bushels an acre. Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service reported Monday that 8 percent of the state’s winter wheat crop has been cut. The agency said 45 percent of the Kansas wheat crop was in poor to very poor condition. The trade group Kansas Wheat says harvest activity has spread as far north as Hays and as far west as Scott City. Early indications are that the harvest has been coming in as good — and as bad — as had been anticipated, depending on where the rain had fallen. Just 160 miles west of Fritzemeier’s central Kansas farm, grower Gary Millershaski was getting ready Tuesday to begin cutting for the first time this season what he had left of the 2,800 acres of winter wheat he had planted near Lakin in drought-stricken southwest Kansas. His wheat crop is so
poor he has already abandoned 360 acres of it and has low expectations on yields for what was left. “I am going to call myself lucky if I can end up with a 15 to 20 bushel (per acre) average,” Millershaski said. “I am not helping the state’s average any at all.” But he still said he felt fortunate because farmers further west and south of him were abandoning between 30 and 40 percent of their fields, or worse. Subsoil moisture levels are short to very short across 52 percent of the Kansas, but in arid southwest Kansas 96 percent of the land falls into that category, according to the Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service. In a typical season, Millershaski has three combines of his own plus a couple of custom harvesters cutting his fields. “This year, due to the poor performance of the crop, we are going to cut every acre ourselves and hopefully that will save me
between $5 and $7 an acre,” he said. “I don’t know if it will because it still costs you. It costs to go across the ground whether you own the machine or you pay somebody to do it.” For custom harvesters like Tracy Zeorian of Manley, Neb., the widespread drought has meant far fewer acres to cut. She and her husband are now cutting in Oklahoma and expect to move into Kansas by the end of the week. The nation’s custom cutters, who follow the ripening crops from Texas to the Northern Plains each year, have already moved into the Kiowa area in south-central Kansas and are beginning to move into central Kansas now, she said. “Probably within the next week or two you could quite possibly see a lot of harvesters just sitting,” Zeorian said. “I know I have heard some say they are thinking even about going back home for a while until that northern route is ready. It is a tough year for a harvester.”

Wheat woes

Harvest unfolds with more dire predictions for region.
T
oo much of this year’s wheat will be left to wither away and die. Sadly, signs point to a wheat crop ravaged by drought and spring freeze damage not yielding much in the way of positive results in the area. Wheat production in southwest and westcentral Kansas was expected to be at about half of last year’s crop, with production estimates of 22.5 million to 27 million bushels. On Saturday, wheat harvested near Scott City came in at about 25 bushels per acre. But that Should more area farmers particular field consider alternative crops of summerdue to lingering drought? fallow wheat Add your comments at likely turned the end of the online verout a better sion of this editorial at GCTelegram.com/opinion. yield than continuous wheat fields in the area would, according to representatives of the Kansas Wheat Commission. As harvesters head into more fields in southwest Kansas, the negative forecast doesn’t bode well for a region all too familiar with the impact of a poor wheat harvest. Entire communities feel the pressure when wheat farmers deal with weather-related problems. As always, dryness tops the list of offenders, and has been more of a concern than usual in an area that’s received just more than a third of the normal amount of precipitation for the year. With recent rainfall, Garden City still was at about 3.7 inches of precipitation Tuesday, compared to the normal year-to-date amount of more than 9 inches. The sad picture will see a number of area dryland fields not cut because insignificant yields wouldn’t pay off. As combines roll through fields of wheat deemed worthy of harvest, we’re left to see how much damage the overall crop sustained. Such a situation is nothing new for Kansas wheat farmers, who know all too well the nagging uncertainty of their work — and that they also must do their best to salvage what they can to help feed the world. As they go about their business, the hope is higher grain prices for those able to harvest a crop at least counter some production losses. In the midst of a tough stretch of farming, even small victories would help boost spirits on the farm and in rural Kansas communities with a huge stake in every harvest.
Maybe a fertile future for Palin D
istilled to a slogan, politics of late goes something like this: “I’m more fertile than you are.” It seems fecundity is emerging as the best argument for public office, policy or even citizenship. What was once an unconscious appraisal — Is this person strong, healthy and vital? — has morphed into the sort of explicit review one usually associates with an X rating. While male politicians have always strutted their stuff as a demonstration of virility and strength, most women until recently have had no such comparable public measures. Managing a household wasn’t viewed as favorably as, say, the ability to pitch a ball over home plate. Lately, a strange shift has occurred among female politicians as they have resorted to flexing their womb-manhood. Rather than try to out-man the men, women have begun to celebrate — or exploit in some cases — their higher purpose. This brings us unavoidably to Sarah Palin, who reminded us recently that fertility is the ultimate trump card. To be fair, Jeb Bush started it. He was attempting to explain the need for immigration reform as an economic argument. That is, we need an influx of immigrants — WHO TEND TO HAVE LARGER FAMILIES — to counter native-born Americans’ low birthrates. Our current rate isn’t sufficient to keep our nation’s economic engine running competitively. This is a legitimate argument, most forcefully advanced by Douglas HoltzEakin, Republican economic adviser and former director of the Congressional Budget Office under George W. Bush. Alas, Jeb Bush inartfully said we need immigrants because they are more “fertile,” which sounds an awful lot like, “Hotahmighty, those people
can’t tie their shoes without getting pregnant.” One is permitted a certain number of verbal pratfalls in public life, a bit of latitude Palin should appreciate. But Mama Grizzly came roaring out at Bush during a speech at one of those confabs where faith-and-freedom lovers assemble to flex their moral superiority. She not only scolded the third Bush for speaking in such terms but reminded the audience of her own bona fides in the matter. “I say this as someone who’s kind of fertile herself.” As though anyone could forget. In an earlier speech in May at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Palin drew applause with a quip about her marital virtuosity. For Christmas, she gave husband Todd a gun, and he gave her a gun case for the four-wheeler, and ... “He’s got the rifle; I got the rack.” Oh, chortle, chortle. Palin is nothing if not fertile. Or, perhaps more accurately, she is nothing if she isn’t fertile. The most flauntingly fecund female politician in U.S. history, Palin made the most of men’s imaginations as John McCain’s running mate — even winning over the fantasies of the politically opposed. Most memorable of these was Christopher Hitchens, who, though no Palin fan, once confessed to me: “Even I have wondered what it would be like to change her expression.” Hitchens knew how to be provocative and/or insulting while still seeming courtly,

a gentleman’s art nearly lost with his passing. Only the other Christopher — Buckley — does the same as well. In this era of low art, one finds comfort at least in the knowledge that fertility passes, and so, one hopes, do those who insist on attention to their procreative histories. Which, I hasten to add, recently includes former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. When challenged about the difference between late-term abortion and the killing of babies who survived late-term abortions at the hands of the convicted murderer Dr. Kermit Gosnell, Pelosi hid behind the skirt of her own bassinet. Rather than answer the question, she invoked her five children and declared any discussion of abortion “sacred ground” to her Catholic sensibilities. Fecundity, apparently, triumphs over moral reasoning. Most likely, Pelosi is deeply troubled by what her politics requires and what her Catholic mother-heart tells her is true. The real reason she avoided the question is because there is no good answer. The atrocity of lateterm abortion and post-abortion murder is a matter of moments. And though Palin’s prolife position is more palatable in the harsh light of Gosnell’s killing chamber, her coquettish reminders that her field is still tillable diminishes her credibility as anything other than a oneliner comedienne. Perhaps Palin recognizes this herself and is auditioning for her own show. She may have a fertile future as an entertainer, though Honey Boo Boo will give her a run for her money.

Questionable music choice
I
pray for all Americans to realize where we are headed. The Saturday before Father’s Day I was shopping on Main Street in Garden City. Over the
loud speakers was coming the most repulsive, vulgar lyrics I have ever heard in all my 73 years of life. Yes, I’m older, but I do have standards of decency, as I’m sure many others do also. If your leaders, city council or whoever is in charge of this disgusting attempt to make your city attractive, please be aware, this is horrible. I would not waste ink on repeating the words to the song that was playing. As I was forced to listen to the music, so was a father and his teenage son, another lady from Ulysses ... and who knows others that heard it. Music can and should be uplifting ... the right kind. In the name of God, I pray for our society, our children and our country. I believe God is merciful, and loving, but how much longer? Lack of knowledge? Here is the truth! II Corinthians 5:14 ... For the love of Christ controls and impels us, because Jesus died for all, so that all those who live might live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died and was raised again for their sake. PAT KISTLER, Ulysses
ou come home from serving your country in Iraq or Afghanistan. You’re honorably discharged and considering your next job or career. Meanwhile, you also blog and post personal political views and song lyrics on Facebook. You have threatened no one, but that doesn’t stop the FBI and police from showing up at your door. You’re handcuffed, taken away, briefly interviewed by a psychologist and confined in a psychiatric ward against your will. You’re not charged with any crime. Without legal representation, you disappear. Perhaps for a few months, maybe a couple of years. You could be administered drugs. Attorney John Whitehead, a respected attorney who heads The Rutherford Institute, a nonpartisan civil rights organization he founded and operates with his wife, tells me this has happened to about 1.5 million Americans this past year. How many Americans have been administered psychotropic drugs against their will? “While we have assisted other veterans and been alerted to the fact that other veterans are being targeted, we cannot vouch for how many others, other than Brandon (Raub), have been faced with the possibility of forced medication.” John tells the haunting story of Brandon Raub, a former Marine who has served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan who was forcibly taken from his home on Aug. 16, 2012, by FBI agents and police in Chesterfield County, Va., and placed in a psychiatric ward against his will. His crime? Posting personal political views and song lyrics to his Facebook page. Outraged onlookers filmed the arrest and posted the footage to YouTube, which has since gone viral, and the public continues to clamor for his release (watch the video here: http://tinyurl.com/lc9w6tj). “Government officials disregarded Raub’s explanation that the Facebook posts were being interpreted out of context, sentencing him up to 30 days’ further confinement in a VA psych ward where he was forced to undergo psychological evaluations,” Whitehead said. “Fortunately, in an unexpected ruling handed down by Circuit Court Judge Allan Sharrett, the government’s case against Brandon Raub was dismissed on the grounds that the petition for Raub’s detainment ‘is so devoid of any factual allegations that it could not be reasonably expected to give rise to a case or controversy.’” You are likely disbelieving this story. I would if I hadn’t interviewed Mr. Whitehead many times over the years concerning civil rights cases he has successfully litigated. He’s genuine. Fortunately, Whitehead was able to help Brandon and was informed by other veterans groups that other veterans are being targeted for Facebook posts. How can they do this without arresting someone? Involuntary civil commitment. Cornell Law School defines involuntary civil commitment as “the admission of individuals against their will into a mental health unit.” Useful when someone truly is a danger to themselves or others. Not when used to confine honorably discharged military men and women back from Afghanistan and Iraq when they exercise their constitutional right to free speech with no threat to any others. I asked John what can we, ordinary citizens, do to stop this Orwellian torment. He said, “Start local groups. Meet and share this information. Invite your senators and congressional representatives to your meetings and share this information with them. Ask them to help stop this government force against citizens legally expressing their personal views from the privacy of their own homes. Protest.” I will use this column to lobby my congressional delegation, as well as all those who read this paper and/or website. I will direct them to Rutherford.Org and demand they use their authority as elected citizens to end this constitutional crisis. Will you?

location of KAN on it,” Loving said. “They had KAN on the right side at an angle for your first tag, and then in ’14, they were kind of touching together and straight down, and then in ’15, the KAN was slanted the other way.” The 1913 tag was white with black numbers. The black on white tags were used in several other years, as well, including 1918, 1929, 1934, 1961 and 1963. Other color variations included white tags with red numbers, orange tags with blue numbers and green tags with white numbers. Loving has a whole wall in his basement filled with every Finney County license plate since 1913. Like a historian, Loving can cite the history behind the plates from memory. “In ’43, we didn’t get tags. At the end of the war, we were saving metal, so they bolted a little ’43 tab onto the ’42 tag,” he said. The 1944 tag was a smaller tag, for the same reason. From 1930 to 1950, the tags tell a story about the population of the state, when the 105 counties in Kansas had designated numbers based on their ranking in population. Finney County was No. 71 at the time. Loving said Haskell County was 101, Wichita County was 102, Grant County

Ford County was No. 35 during the 1930s, when the county numbering system started, and Loving said that all of the counties kept their respective numbers until 1950, despite population shifts. Loving said that the Finney County tags also hold a lot of local history. In 1951, the year the state changed from the county numbering system to letters, a statewide contest to design a new license plate was won by a Garden City resident, Claude Wright, who designed a tag that was shaped
the same as the state. “In those years, everybody wanted a low number, so they went up to the courthouse at the crack of dawn. The courthouse steps would be loaded with people, and everybody would be up there wanting the low numbers. There was no prize or anything given for the winner of this statewide contest, so the county treasurers here decided that they would do something for Claude, so they reserved tag No. 1 for him. He drove that tag for the five years that he lived after that, No. 1 around town. He had some sleigh bells — a lot of people remember this — he had sleigh bells hooked on his windshield wipers, so he would drive down the street with tag No. 1,
Some other facts collected by Johnson about the centennial of Kansas license plates: • March 12, 1913, was the day the Legislature completed debate and enacted legislation providing for vehicle registration, registration fees and numbered plates to be attached to the rear of each vehicle owned by a person, firm or corporation. The law set July 1, 1913, as the date registrations and plates were officially required. • The registration fees were $5 for passenger cars and trucks and $2 for motorcycles, with $4.25 and $1.50 to be returned to each county road fund and 75 cents and 50 cents to be paid to the state general fund. • Motor vehicles required to be registered included, “… all vehicles propelled by any power other than muscular power, excepting, however, traction engines, road rollers and any vehicle which runs only on rails or tracks.” Departments of municipal police and fire were also excepted. • 1913 Kansas license plate No. 1 went to W.W. Web, Topeka; No. 2 went to J.R. Burrow, Topeka; No. 13 went to Dr. J.C. McClintoc, Topeka, but the doctor had to return it because his family refused to ride in a horseless carriage with an unlucky number. No. 13 was then mailed to Roscoe Mitchell, Kendall. • Other states celebrating 100 years of license plates are Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, North Carolina, South Dakota and Wyoming.
ringing his bells,” Loving said. Both he and Johnson said that single digit tags are highly sought after by collectors. Johnson said the No. 1 priority for collectors is to find plates in good condition. “And then the next consideration is getting that low number,” Johnson said. “Or as an alternative, we like numbers that are consecutive like 333 or 444, or a pair of numbers, 33 or 44.” Johnson said that the original license plates were issued not only for purposes of generating revenue for road maintenance,
but for identification purposes. “Some of those ‘horseless carriages’ that displayed the first Kansas license plates 100 years ago shook the ground as they clugged down the street, rattling windows, terrifying horses and scaring more than a few pedestrians. What’s more, at 15 mph, they were going too darn fast. Irate citizens helped bring about the state law requiring an identifying number to be hung on the rear of those ‘dreadful devil wagons,’” Johnson said in a letter to The Telegram.

for so many years for their animals. When Sells first started, he had a mixed-animal practice and worked with both large livestock animals and small pet-type animals.
Around 1994 or 1995, Sells began exclusively taking care of small animals. Sells was a charter member of the Finney County Humane Society, and also provided veterinary care for animals at Lee Richardson Zoo for about
five years. Sells provided annual exams, teeth cleaning, blood work and general check-ups. “It was a fun experience. Every day was a learning experience,” he said. “One day I had a lion that I thought was under anesthe-

a dog who ate an entire VCR tape. Sells said the owners weren’t sure what was wrong with the dog, but upon examination Sells found a piece of tape wrapped around its tongue. “When I cut the tape, it went down into his stom-
ach, so we had to do surgery to clean it all out,” he said. “Those things happen over the years. I’ve been knocked down a few times by horses, or had them kick (me). It’s just part of the job. You get up, go back to doing it, and think nothing of it.”
Immigration: GOP split, House uncertain Supreme Court drops key part of voting law Continued from Page A1
“I believe a large bipartisan vote will wake up our colleagues ... in the House,” Schumer said shortly before the Senate inserted a requirement for 20,000 new Border Patrol agents and a total of 700 miles of fencing along the border with Mexico. “Hopefully, as congressmen look how their senators voted, they will be influenced by it.” In the key Senate showdown so far, 15 Republicans voted to advance the legislation that toughens border security at the same time it
creates a chance at citizenship for 11 million immigrants living in the United States illegally. Another 27 voted to keep the bill bottled up. Republicans who voted to block the legislation generally did so after saying it would not deliver on its promise of operational control of the border. “When you look at it, it doesn’t, and they know it,” Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., said of the bill’s backers, who quickly disputed the charge. A political pattern emerged, as well. Among Republicans who
are seeking a new term next year and as a result face the risk of a primary challenge, only three voted with supporters of the measure. Eight did not, a group that includes the party’s two top leaders in the Senate, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and John Cornyn of Texas, as well as Sessions, who has been one of the bill’s principal opponents across three weeks of debate. While party leaders long have looked to immigration legislation as a way to broaden appeal among Hispanic voters, individual members of Congress report a different perspective.
Extra Help available to Medicare recipients A
recent issue of the New York Times had an article asking why senior citizens of limited means are not taking advantage of the prescription drug benefit known as Extra Help. The article discussed all kinds of theories such as cognitive ability to understand the application process. Whatever the reason, seniors should understand that if they are struggling with the cost of their prescriptions, help is out there. The federally funded program known as Extra Help is available to persons with Medicare. If you (or your parent or older relative) has income below $17,235 this year ($23,365 for a married couple) and less than $13,300 ($26,580 for a couple) in other resources, not including a house or car, be sure they’ve applied. A broad swath of the elderly population meets these thresholds and could receive a partial or full Extra Help subsidy. You can apply for Extra Help by going to www. medicare.gov and applying online. Or you can call Social Security at (800) 772-1213 and request a paper application or you can call the senior center at 272-3620 and request an appointment. We can help you complete the application. It usually takes six weeks to get an answer so don’t wait. Call now for an appointment.

Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for a majority of conservative, Republican-appointed justices, said the law’s provision that determines which states are covered is unconstitutional because it relies on 40-yearold data and does not account for racial progress and other changes in U.S. society. The decision effectively puts an end to the advance approval requirement that has been used to open up polling places to minority voters in the nearly half century since it was first enacted in 1965, unless Congress can come up with a new formula that Roberts said meets “current conditions” in the United States. That seems unlikely to happen any time soon.
President Barack Obama, the nation’s first black chief executive, issued a statement saying he was “deeply disappointed” with the ruling and calling on Congress to update the law. But in the South, Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley said that, while the requirement was necessary in the 1960s, that was no longer the case. He said, “We have long lived up to what happened then, and we have made sure it’s not going to happen again.” The advance approval, or preclearance, requirement shifted the legal burden and required governments that were covered to demonstrate that their proposed election changes would not discriminate.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A deeply divided Supreme Court threw out the most powerful part of the landmark Voting Rights Act on Tuesday, a decision deplored by the White House but cheered by mostly Southern states now free from nearly 50 years of intense federal oversight of their elections. Split along ideological and partisan lines, the justices voted 5-4 to strip the government of its most potent tool to stop voting bias — the requirement in the Voting Rights Act that all or parts of 15 states with a history of discrimination in voting, mainly in the South, get Washington’s approval before changing the way they hold elections.

Wednesday June 26, 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) HHH Strap on your seat belt. You are about to enter a three-week period of chaos. Do not sign anything that involves your home or domestic life through mid-July. Opportunities will reappear shortly afterward. Tonight: Chat with a dear friend. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Just when you start to think you have it all together, you might discover that you don’t. A challenging person could push you to the point where you have an issue. Communication is highlighted. Tonight: Work on an important project till the wee hours. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Recent events might propel you to take another look, especially as you encounter a standstill. You never anticipate a snafu, but in the next few weeks you could have more than your fair share of them. Use good sense with your finances. Tonight: Let your mind drift. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Honor a change. You can’t get away from the feeling that you are about to enter a new phase of life. First, test out and share any details, especially in areas involving your goals. Refuse to stand on ceremony with others for the next few weeks. Tonight: Be with a favorite person. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might want to defer to others as tension builds. One way to avoid a misunderstanding is to let someone else run the show. Just the same, you might have an issue with maintaining clarity. Tonight: Test out an idea with a trusted adviser before you share it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Emphasize networking and communication, as interactions might not be going smoothly. The good news is that you’ll be able to find out what the cause is. Use this knowledge to make corrections. Tap into your imagination to create more of what you want. Tonight: Play it easy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Allow your ingenuity to carry you through an awkward moment or two. Stay open to the possibilities, and you’ll see what goes on behind the scenes. What you do with that information is your call. You might not have the control you desire. Tonight: Take a midweek break. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Communicate with a family member rather than stand on ceremony with this person. Pressure builds to an unprecedented level if you ignore a domestic matter. Let your creativity and intellect merge. As a result, you’ll find the answers quickly. Tonight: Head on home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You might be more verbal than you realize. Your focus remains on a key relationship, even if you are out socializing and networking. Confusion surrounds your home or a domestic issue. Make sure that everyone’s watch is set to the same time zone! Tonight: Make it easy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You might want to hold off on making any big purchases or signing any agreements for a while. This might be hard to sit on, but if you don’t, the chance of something backfiring is high. More will come out about this situation later, if you just wait. Tonight: Treat a friend to dinner. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You beam, despite having a lot of responsibility on your plate. These extra tasks actually are a reward for being very present in a situation and making good decisions. Understand that there are limits to your energy. Save time for yourself, too. Tonight: Try being a bit lazy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Your sensitivity and ability to observe will merge. You might not want to spill the beans, and that would be a wise decision. A new friend would like some extra attention. Be careful with relationships like this, as others are more on edge than normal. Tonight: Go with the moment.

Reader concerned after discovering local smut house Dear Annie: We live in a quiet family neighborhood. Recently, a neighbor tried to locate the owner of a rental home next door in order to discuss a shared fence issue. When our neighbor could find no contact information through the city department of housing, he searched the Internet. He was shocked to discover that for the past 10 years, the owners have had a porn site registered at that rental home address. None of us wants a porn site associated with our neighborhood. How should we handle this? — No Name or Location, Please Dear No Name: While we certainly understand your moral objections, these owners seem to be running a legal operation. Most web-based or home-based businesses are fine unless there are customers or employees coming to the house. There may be a requirement to have a business license, but that’s about it. You can contact a lawyer in your city to find out whether there are other possibilities, but we suspect there is nothing you can do, legally, about this. Sorry. Dear Annie: I share a small workspace with someone who constantly coughs, sneezes, clears her throat, blows her nose and grunts.
ANNIE’S MAILBOX KATHY MITCHELL MARCY SUGAR
Worse, she never covers her mouth, so I am surrounded by airborne germs all day. It’s extremely annoying and interferes with my ability to concentrate on my work. I know some of this is allergies, but she also doesn’t stay home when she is sick. I have offered cough drops and antihistamines, which she has refused. I suffer from allergies, as well, but try to keep my symptoms to myself. I have talked to my boss, but she won’t deal with it. Other co-workers are unwilling to switch desks with me (understandably). I used to like going to work, but I am ready to hand in my notice. What do you suggest? — Had It with the Hacking Dear Had It: First be more direct with this co-worker, explaining your discomfort and asking her to please cover her nose and mouth. If that doesn’t help, can you complain to the human resources department or a higherup? Is it possible to move your desk? Would you be willing to wear a surgical
mask or filter? Allergies can’t always be helped, but people should be considerate of one another. Dear Annie: I read your advice to “Nervous in Vermont” with much interest, being the parent of a transgender child myself. Even if an initial conversation may have seemed encouraging, it can be dangerous for trans kids to come out to their parents. Half of all homeless kids are LGBT, some as young as 12, and were kicked out of their parents’ home after coming out to their families. And a staggering number of trans kids end up committing suicide if met with scorn, shame or parental refusal to accept or discuss the subject. Coming out must be done eventually, but unless the child is nearing 18 or has contingency plans, one must take into consideration the things that can go wrong. I’d like to offer a couple of parental resources for such situations: Trans Youth Family Allies (imatyfa.org) is a wonderful group of parents of trans kids that includes a support email list, as well as organized trainings for schools and other organizations. Gender Spectrum (gen-
derspectrum.org) holds a yearly Gender Spectrum Family conference in Oakland, Calif., as well as a trans-masculine oriented Gender Spectrum conference in Seattle, Wash. These two groups can be of incredible assistance to parents after their kids have come out. We’ve found that going through the process of accepting our kids is not dissimilar to the grieving process. What is lost is not the person (thank goodness), but our hopes, dreams and plans for our child. We fear for them and their future. But we support each other and learn to move on, create new dreams and celebrate our children’s true identities. — Sara Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am an 84-year-old woman in good health. I have been faithfully going to the gynecologist and having a mammogram every year. Do I really need to keep seeing the gynecologist — I haven’t had any problems in 30 years — or can I just continue to get my annual mammogram? — S.B.H. I wouldn’t recommend stopping visits to your primary care doctor, who may be your gynecologist. It’s very important to have your regular visits, even if in good health, to check in, check your blood pressure and have an exam. When to stop performing screening tests is a controversial subject. If your gynecologist is still doing Pap smears, those can stop. Women who have had multiple normal regular exams and who have no history of precancerous abnormalities or cancer can stop Pap smears after age 65. When to stop mammograms isn’t clear, but both the Canadian Task Force and the U.S. Preventive Service Task Force make
no recommendations above the other? I hope this isn’t age 75. I recommend still a stupid question. I have doing them for a healthy never written to a column woman until she gets a con- before, but it is something dition where it makes no that has been on my mind sense to do them anymore for 30 years.

DEAR DR. ROACH: Almost on a daily basis, I have small black spots in my phlegm. My doctor has told me that it is blood. I am concerned that it could be something more serious. I am a veteran of the first Gulf War, and I was exposed to oil fires and burn pits. Is it common for blood to be in phlegm, or should I seek further treatment? — C.T.

Back on court, Williams stretches winning streak at Wimbledon LONDON (AP) — After a week filled by a headline-grabbing, off-court tiff with Maria Sharapova and a series of apologies stemming from a magazine profile, Serena Williams got back to doing what she does best. Better than anyone in the world right now, really. Extending her winning streak to 32 matches, the longest singleseason run on the women’s tour since 2000, Williams began her bid for a sixth Wimbledon championship and 17th Grand Slam title overall with a 6-1, 6-3 victory over 92nd-ranked Mandy Minella of Luxembourg on Tuesday. “You can call her pretty much unbeatable,” Minella said. “She’s playing better than ever. ... Every time she steps on court, you can see why.” And yet Williams, the defending champion at the All England Club, and Patrick Mouratoglou, the French coach who’s been helping her during the current 75-3 stretch that dates to the start of Wimbledon last year, both gave this assessment: There are areas of her game that could use some fine-tuning. “After today, there’s so many ways that I can improve,” the No. 1-ranked and No. 1-seeded
Associated Press
Serena Williams plays a return to Mandy Minella on Tuesday during their Women’s first round singles match at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships in Wimbledon, London. Williams said, “and that I’m going to need to improve if I want to be in the second week of this tournament.” Really? How about some examples? “Come on,” Williams replied, tilting her head and smiling. Here was Mouratoglou’s take after watching Williams win her first 17 service points and compile a 25-5 edge in total winners
on Centre Court: “I mean, of course, not everything is perfect yet. It’s interesting to see what we need to work on for the (coming) days.” They also agreed that she did not have too hard a time setting aside the events of the previous seven days, which included a lot of saying “I’m sorry” — face-toface with Sharapova, at a news conference, in two separate state-
ments posted on the web — over things Williams was quoted as saying in a Rolling Stone story. Williams made a negative reference in a phone conversation to a top-five player’s love life (the piece’s author surmised that was about Sharapova) and an off-thecuff remark about a widely publicized rape case in the U.S. that was perceived by some as criticizing the victim. “It hasn’t been a distraction,” Williams insisted. “I’m just here to focus on the tennis.” All in all, by easily winning her first match since winning the French Open on June 8, she helped restore order at Wimbledon 24 hours after a chaotic Day 1 that included the only first-round Grand Slam loss of 12-time major champion Rafael Nadal’s career and a scary-looking, knee-twisting tumble by two-time Australian Open winner Victoria Azarenka during her win. The highest-seeded player to depart Tuesday was No. 10 Maria Kirilenko, beaten 6-3, 6-4 by teenager Laura Robson, the first British woman to beat a top-10 player at Wimbledon in 15 years. Of the 10 local players who entered the tournament, Robson

Finney County Blues shortstop Logan Dechant tries to field a ball in the bottom of the third inning in Tuesday’s first game of a doubleheader at Lakin.
LAKIN — The Finney County Blues allowed Lakin some chances to attack easily but the Blues’ play was just enough to get the doubleheader sweep over Lakin, 10-6 and 8-6 at Loucks Field in Lakin on Tuesday. In Game 1, both the Blues and Lakin got on the board in the first inning. Finney County’s Logan Dechant scored first as he came home on a stolen base before Lakin answered right back with Jarett Sauer taking advantage of two errors by Blues third baseman Edgar Montoya to even it up at 1-1. The Blues then turned up the pressure in the following inning as Mario Montoya and Ian Jones scored on RBI’s by Addison DeHerrera and Robert Tomlin. Edgar Montoya and DeHerrera’s courtesy runner, Frank Rosas, next followed home after an Isaiah Rodriguez hit to left field, before Robert Tomlin came home on a single to left by Dechant to go up 6-1. Lakin would get back into the game in the third inning, first with Sauer coming home from third on a bad throw from Blues catcher DeHerrera to Edgar Montoya. Shane Davidson next scored after a sacrifice fly to center field by Logan Litton before Ryder Yakel scored via a single to left field by Brandon Miller to make it a 6-4 Blues advantage.
After Davidson scored again for Lakin on a Yakel double to left field in the fifth inning, the Blues put away Game 1 in the sixth inning for good as Rodriguez and Dechant both came home on a double to left by reserve Marcus Zapata. An error by Lakin shortstop Miller then scored Zapata. Despite a run by Lakin’s Brendon Puckett via a fielder’s choice in the in the bottom half of the inning, it would not be enough to stop the 10-6 Blues decision in the first game. Game 2 had both teams score in the first inning as well. The Blues scored Tomlin and Rodriguez off a double to left from Jake Curran, followed by a wild pitch to allow Dechant to come home. Curran then scored off a first base error. Lakin responded with a stolen base from third for Sauer to come home before wild pitches had Davidson and Litton making it home to pull Lakin within 4-3. The second inning would still be tight as the Blues’ Tomlin and Dechant scored before Lakin added two more runs from Caleb Seeger and Sauer to make it 6-5. Finney County would finally get breathing room in the fourth inning as Dechant scored off a Curran double to left field, followed by a Zapata double to bring home Curran. Sauer would score again for Lakin in the fifth inning off a Davidson single to right field before the Blues escaped with the sweep.
Despite the doubleheader wins, coach Befort still saw work to do. “We did not do bad, but we’ve got some work to do as we’ve got some guys that have some holes in their swings,” said Blues coach Lyle Befort. “Our pitchers are still up in the zone. When our pitchers were throwing down in the zone we could beat anybody.” Lakin head coach Chance Kirby also assessed his team on the evening. “We did well in certain areas but did not do well in execution, but I have to give Garden City credit. They got two bunts down in the second inning, they got them going to a five run inning, good execution on their part,” said Kirby. The Blues, who are now 13-4, travel to the Pratt tournament tomorrow with games at 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. before more games at Pratt on Saturday and Sunday. Lakin, now 5-7, plays Goodland on Tuesday. ——— Game 1 Finney Co. Blues 10, Lakin 6 FC Blues 150 003 1 — 10 15 5 Lakin 103 011 0 — 6 8 3 WP—M. Montoya; LP—Yakel. FC Blues—M.

Royals rally in ninth fails in 4-3 loss to Braves KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals had fought back to tie the game on a two-run homer by Eric Hosmer, and stingy left-hander Tim Collins had trotted in from the bullpen to keep the score right there. He threw the exact pitch he wanted to Atlanta’s Jason Heyward — just not where he wanted to throw it. Heyward sent the pitch soaring over the fence in right field for a go-ahead
homer in the seventh inning Tuesday night, and the Royals failed to score the tying run with the bases loaded and nobody out in the ninth inning of a 4-3 loss to the Braves. “Right pitch, bad location,” Collins said. “That’s the pitch I wanted to throw, but just not in that location.” It had been 31 appearances since Collins (2-2) last allowed a home run. “It’s going to happen,” he said. “You

Blues use timely hitting to take twinbill from Lakin By GRANT MELIN
and reigning U.S. Open champion Andy Murray, last year’s runner-up at the All England Club, are the only two left. “It’s hard for all the British players to come in here and, you know, lose first round,” said Robson, who beat Kim Clijsters at the 2012 U.S. Open in the last match of the four-time major champion’s career, “because you just feel extra disappointed.” Other women winning easily included No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska, the 2012 runner-up to Williams; 2011 French Open champion Li Na; and No. 7 Angelique Kerber, who eliminated Bethanie Mattek-Sands of the U.S. 6-3, 6-4. Nadal’s straight-set loss to 135th-ranked Steve Darcis was still a main topic of conversation, and top-seeded Novak Djokovic called it a reminder that “you cannot take anything or anybody for granted.” “To be honest, I was expecting him to be a bit rusty on the court,” Djokovic said. “In the opening rounds, obviously, it’s very dangerous for top players who haven’t been playing on grass. ... On the other side of the
tip your cap to him and remember next time not to make that mistake.” Kris Medlen (5-7) limited the Royals to a run in the first and Hosmer’s tworun homer in the fifth while striking out five. He turned the game over to Jordan Walden, who survived a leadoff walk in the eighth inning to get the game into the hands of Craig Kimbrel. The Braves closer walked Mike Moustakas and gave up a single to David
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — UCLA’s offense showed up this time, which meant Mississippi State never had a chance. Eric Filia drove in a career-high five runs, Nick Vander Tuig limited Mississippi State to five hits in eight innings, and UCLA won its first national championship in baseball with an 8-0 victory Tuesday night. The Bruins (49-17) completed a two-game sweep in the College World Series finals and ended the season with 11 straight wins. The national title is UCLA’s NCAA-record 109th in team sports. “They had a great year,” UCLA coach John Savage said, “and it was one of those situations where it was our time.” Adam Plutko, the Bruins’ No. 1 starter, was named the CWS’ Most Outstanding Player. He beat LSU in the Bruins’ first game and was the winner in Game 1 of the finals. He allowed two runs in 13 innings. Vander Tuig held off the Bulldogs (51-20) when they threatened in the fourth, fifth and eighth innings and recorded his fourth win in the NCAA tournament. Vander Tuig (14-4) struck out six and walked one. David Berg pitched the ninth. Filia produced runs with a sacrifice fly, squeeze bunt and two base hits as the Bruins collected 12 hits and scored their most runs in 18 games. “I thrive on this, absolutely,” Filia said. “We just stayed with our approach. We stayed small and barreled balls up.” Bulldogs starter Luis Pollorena (6-4) lasted one inning. Jonathan Holder, the Bulldogs’ closer, came on with one out in the fourth inning and went the rest of the way. UCLA allowed four runs in five games to set a CWS record for fewest in the metal-bat era that started in 1974. The Bruins’ .227 batting average in the CWS also was the lowest since teams went away from wood bats. The Bruins’ 19 runs in five games were the fewest by a champion since the CWS went to eight teams in 1950. “It was a team effort all the way through,” Savage said. “It was guys believing in each other and being great teammates. People didn’t believe in us all season long. We kept battling, and it’s a team win.” After Arizona’s title last year, the Pac-12 has now won two straight and has 17 in all in baseball, most of any conference. Mississippi State was playing for its first national title in a team sport and was the sixth straight Southeastern Conference team to make it to the finals. Vander Tuig, who won his fourth straight postseason start, gave up just one earned run in 21 1-3 innings over his last three starts. The Bruins won the title in their third CWS appearance in four years and fifth all-time. They had made it to the finals in 2010 and were swept by South Carolina. Last year they went 1-2 in Omaha. This season they finished third in the Pac-12, behind Oregon State and Oregon, and then got hot in the postseason. They made magic with an offense that started Tuesday 264th out of 296 teams in batting (.247) and 215th in scoring (4.7 runs per game), but among the national leaders in sacrifices, walks and hit batsmen. They won three straight at home in regionals and went on the road to upset No. 5 national seed Cal State Fullerton in a two-game super regional. Once they got to Omaha, the Bruins made themselves at home in spacious TD Ameritrade Park. UCLA produced just enough offense to support its superb pitching and defense in bracket play, and again in Game 1 of the finals. The pitching and defense showed up again in Game 2, and this time so did the offense. “We’ve been capable all season long,” Savage said. “We have good players.”

net is somebody that is lower ranked, he has nothing to lose, so he’s going for his shots.� As Djokovic dispatched 34th-ranked Florian Mayer of Germany 6-3, 7-5, 6-4, the only real hitch was when he slipped to the Centre Court grass. No. 4 David Ferrer, who reached his first Grand Slam final at the French Open but lost to Nadal, took two falls and said he felt a “little bit of pain� in his left ankle during a 6-1, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 victory over 101st-ranked Martin Alund of Argentina. Sam Querrey, an American seeded 21st, lost 7-6 (6), 7-6 (3), 3-6, 2-6, 6-3
to 59th-ranked Australian Bernard Tomic in a match most noteworthy for what was said afterward. Tomic ripped the ATP for barring his father, who is also his coach, from attending tournaments for 12 months because of pending assault charges and said he’ll ask Wimbledon to let Dad attend his next match. Querrey, meanwhile, was miffed that Tomic got a chance to collect himself while being checked by trainers after saying he felt lightheaded in the fourth set. “I knew he was kind of dizzy, but let’s go; it’s a physical game,� Querrey said. “That’s part of it.

Blackhawks fans celebrate another Stanley Cup CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Blackhawks brought the Stanley Cup home Tuesday and proceeded to take it on a pub crawl, with scores of ecstatic fans flocking to taverns and restaurants in hopes of catching a glimpse of their beloved players and the sacred trophy awarded to the NHL champion. Many fans, bleary eyed from staying up the night before to watch Game 6, looked to the skies for TV news helicopters that would alert them they were on the right track. Others set themselves up at bars, hoping the rumors from friends or Twitter might turn out to be true. “We’ve been packed since 7 this morning.” said Brad Tice, general manager of The Pony on Chicago’s North Side. “In 2010 (the last time the Blackhawks won the cup) it came here, and players hang out here and live in the neighborhood, so everyone is hoping it will show up.” In suburban Oak Brook, fans descended on a restaurant said to be a favorite spot of Blackhawks

coach Joel Quenneville. By midafternoon, the cup hadn’t shown up at either spot. The trophy that turns into a drinking buddy once it is awarded to the National Hockey League champions had already put in a pretty full day. Though it hadn’t made it to the runway of a strip club or the bottom of a swimming pool — just two of the many places that players have taken it over the years — it did make the rounds, stopping at two restaurants and the United Center, where the Blackhawks play, and a downtown steakhouse. “I’m shaking, that was so cool,” said 21-year-old Anne Fernandez after she reached out and touched the cup as Blackhawks President and CEO John McDonough pulled it out of a black SUV in front of Phil Stefani’s restaurant and held it aloft as so many players had on the ice in Boston the night before after their series-clinching win over the Bruins. Fernandez showed up
after a rumor showed up on Twitter, while others got their tips from friends — though nobody knew where this intelligence was coming from. “I got an email that said if I wanted to see the cup to be at 437 (the address of the steakhouse) in 15 minutes,” said Carrie Williams, a 28-year-old magazine editor, who did not know how the emailer got that information. At about 4 a.m., the jet carrying the players and the Cup touched down at O’Hare International Airport, where they received a water cannon salute from about a dozen fire trucks and police cars, all with their lights flashing. Veteran forward Michal Handzus was the first player to emerge from the aircraft shortly after 4 a.m., hoisting the 35-pound cup above his head with both hands and shaking it several times. Guests, police officers and firemen cheered at the bottom of the stairs. Players, coaches

and team officials mingled with the crowd for about 10 minutes before heading for the city to continue the party that began in Chicago shortly after the team stunned Boston by scoring twice in a 17-second span during the final 1:16 of the game. There was a stop at a Harry Caray’s restaurant in Rosemont — the same first stop the Blackhawks made after winning the championship in 2010. There were more than 1,000 fans waiting, and players took turns hoisting the cup over their heads to screams of excitement. The Scout bar in the South Loop area of downtown was the next stop, as team members greeted cheering fans outside with high-fives before filing into the bar. “My (5-year-old) son stayed up to watch the game but I told him he could go over there if it was packed and we looked outside and it was packed so we went,” said Ekta Joshi after she and her son, Kabir, went over to cheer the players.
NFL rookies warned about hard knocks

many errors and warned players about them. “He’s always been a guy who has preached don’t do the same mistakes he’s done,” said New York Jets rookie quarterback Geno Smith, who knows Jones because both played at West Virginia. “He’s made a lot of mistakes in his career, but he’s a guy who is still standing strong and still working hard. He’s using his past trials and tribulations to try and help us.” Because Jones is still an active player and Clarett’s story is well documented, their messages resonated with the young players. “Growing up, those were the role models of their era,” Steelers linebacker Jarvis Jones said. “Great players, tremendous players. Just to see where they’re at it in life now and the things they’ve been through, it opened our eyes because we’re no different from nobody else. “For me, I always try to surround myself with positive people. I don’t do nothing negative, man. I can make the best decisions for me and my family and my team as well. What stuck out to me was just some of the decisions that they made, clearly it was caused by them just not thinking about it before they made it.” Clarett urged the players to stay straight. His promising pro career was derailed by legal troubles not long after he helped lead the Buckeyes to their first national title in 34 years. Clarett wound up serving 3 1-2 years in prison. “His story was really deep,” said Tennessee guard Chance Warmack while taking a break from teaching area school kids some football basics on the Browns’ practice fields. “He and Pacman reminded us there are obstacles you have to deal with as a professional and the standards you’ve got to hold yourself to because we’re not like everybody else.” Chris Herren had a more harrow-
ing tale. The former NBA player was invited by the league to talk of how substance abuse nearly cost him his life. Now sober for five years, Herren had his audience riveted with firsthand accounts of his perilous road before recovery. “He was a guy that lost a lot,” Browns linebacker Barkevious Mingo said. “He nearly lost his family for the choice that he made, and he was sitting in the same seat that we were saying that it wasn’t going to be him. I looked around and everybody was paying attention to what he had to say because it was real. “This was a guy that said this wasn’t going to happen to him. He’s not going to get addicted to drugs, he’s not going to spend his money on this, he’s not going to do that, but he did. Everybody listened to that and it made them pay more attention to the events and the speakers.” On Wednesday, the AFC players will get a history lesson with a tour of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in nearby Canton. One of the reasons the league is holding the symposium in northeast Ohio is its proximity to football’s birthplace. It’s a chance for the players to connect with the game’s immortals who all began as wide-eyed rookies. Following a two-hour tour of the shrine, the players will have a session with Hall of Fame cornerback Mike Haynes. Jim Brown was scheduled to speak but canceled. The 77-year-old NFL great has traveled extensively of late and said in a statement he needs to rest. Brown was recently rehired as a special adviser by the Browns following a separation from the team. Bills quarterback EJ Manuel was most looking forward to seeing the bronze bust of his godfather, Bills end Bruce Smith. “I’ve seen the replica one he’s got at his house,” Manuel said. “I’m going to take a lot of pictures.”

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The money can disappear, the fame can vanish. This week, NFL rookies are being reminded that the game’s hardest knocks often happen off the field. During the league’s annual Rookie Symposium, first-year players are getting a crash course into everything that goes into being a professional athlete — the good, and the bad. The NFL wants its newest members to be prepared not only for what awaits them this season, but for the years ahead, especially those days when they’re no longer making big paychecks or big plays. Through various educational seminars, candid, sometimes heartbreaking speeches and panel discussions, players are learning the X’s and O’s of life. “It’s a great opportunity for us to be out here learning from players who’ve been here, been in our shoes and who are where we want to be,” said San Diego Chargers linebacker Manti Te’o, the former Notre Dame star who this year was the target of a hoax involving a fake girlfriend. “As we get into the next phase of our lives, it’s a new phase, something we’re not used to, so to keep our circle small and remember the people who have always been there for you.” The AFC’s rookie class arrived in Aurora, Ohio, on Sunday to begin the four-day session, which the league has constructed as a teaching and bonding experience. The NFC rookies arrive Wednesday and stay through Sunday. On Monday, players attended a seminar titled: “Are You Bigger Than The Game?” that featured Cincinnati cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones and former Ohio State star running back Maurice Clarett as speakers. Jones recently pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge and has had other off-the-field issues that led to league suspensions. He talked frankly about his
