Talley Trail project to get KDOT funding By SCOTT AUST
saust@gctelegram.com
An extension of Talley Trail east from near Campus Drive is included in a list of 35 Kansas Department of Transportation projects from across the state for funding through the Transportation Enhancement program. The project, which will likely be a 2014 venture, runs along the northern side of Kansas Highway 156 from near the Kwik Shop east to near Walmart. Steve Cottrell, city engineer, said the new extension will add to Talley Trail, the city’s 3.5-mile, paved walking and bike path that winds through the city. “It will provide a safe route
for folks who walk out toward Walmart. It gets them across the ramp and signals with some pedestrian crossing indications,” he said. Estimated project cost is $831,000. It will be funded jointly by KDOT and the city with the state picking up 80 percent of the cost and the city providing 20 percent. Cottrell said it could be about a year before the project begins, allowing time to complete, review and approve plans and to secure the city’s funding match. “It’s a design process. Basically, you go through the same steps as we would for a highway,” he said. The path will be 10 feet wide, paved with mostly four-inch thick
concrete, although some areas may need to be thicker. Cottrell said the project will also include landscaping along the way. By the Hampton Inn and IHOP, the city will remove a barbed wire fence and replace it with a more attractive split rail type of fence. Federal funds through KDOT provide the city with an opportunity to improve and extend its trails system, as called for in the city’s comprehensive plan. “Long range, we’d like to be able to take the path out to the Mary Street/K-156/Jennie Barker intersection, then bring it along Mary Street back towards the city to the west,” Cottrell said.

The talks were under way behindthe-scenes at the Capitol Thursday even as the Senate voted 53 to 47 to defeat an amendment by Sen.

It was the first amendment the Senate voted on to the White House-backed immigration legislation. The outcome suggested that bill supporters have work to do to lock down

the 60 votes that will likely be needed to overcome GOP stalling tactics and get it passed in the Senate by July Fourth, the timeline set by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. The bill, which would amount to the most significant changes to immigration law in decades, would require all employers to check workers’ legal status, allow tens of thousands of new high- and low-skilled workers into the country, and create a 13-year path to citizenship for some 11 million people now here illegally.

TOPEKA (AP) — Kansas is replacing some of the nation’s strongest science standards for public schools with weaker, multistate guidelines, according to an educational think tank that regularly reviews states’ academic standards. The Thomas B. Fordham Institute’s report on the new standards drafted by 26 states and the National Research Council was released Thursday, two days after the Kansas State Board of Education voted to adopt them. Kansas helped develop the standards, and educators and officials have praised them as a major improvement, partly because they emphasize hands-on projects and integrating math, technology and engineering in lessons. But the nonprofit, Washington-based Fordham Institute gave the multistate standards a “C” grade. The institute last year gave Kansas’ old standards a “B,” described them as “clearly superior” and assigned a higher grade to the standards in only seven states and the District of Columbia. The institute acknowledges that the new, multistate guidelines, known as the Next Generation Science Standards, are superior to the standards in many states but said in its
Senators look for consensus border amendment WASHINGTON (AP) — Key Senate Republicans are working to develop a compromise on border security that would satisfy GOP demands for stronger enforcement language in a far-reaching immigration bill without costing Democratic support, lawmakers and aides said Thursday. To win over skeptical Republicans, senators are considering mandating specific requirements for equipment and other tools along the U.S.-Mexico border, instead of just leaving it up to the Obama administration, said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., an author of the bill. “That may be a way to assuage the concern of some of our friends that
Department of Agriculture officials have requested all licensed scale service companies attend a June 27 meeting, citing low accuracy rates of heavy-capacity scales. In a letter provided to the Topeka CapitalJournal, Tim Tyson, director of the department’s Division of Weights and Measures, requests all technicians attend the meeting, which is to take place in a training room at the department’s headquarters at 109 SW 9th St. “In review of large scale accuracy rates this year, rates are lower than in (the) recent past and we need to improve in this area specifically,” Tyson wrote. “Additional focus of the June 27 meeting will be a new policy that requires a third party to place scales into service on new scale installations. The goal of this policy change is to improve scale performance from the start.” Tyson’s letter is dated June 12, the day a third and final installment in the CapitalJournal’s three-part series on scale regulation was published. Documents obtained by the Capital-Journal showed that state inspectors approved 19 of the 72 heavy-capacity scales they spot-checked between July 2012 and February 2013. Almost

Potato price fixing alleged BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A U.S. wholesale grocer says America’s potato farmers have run an illegal price-fixing cartel for a decade, driving up spud prices while spying on farmers with satellites and aircraft fly-overs to enforce strict limits on how many tubers they can grow. Kansas-based Associated Wholesale Grocers’ lawsuit against United Potato Growers of America and two dozen other defendants was shifted this week to U.S. District Court in Idaho, America’s top potato-producing state at 30 percent of the nation’s supply. The grocery group, a cooperative which supplies more than 2,000 stores including IGA, Thriftway and Price Chopper in 24 states, contends that the potato growers banded together in 2004 to illegally inflate prices in a scheme akin to the petroleum-producing OPEC cartel, reducing planting acreages and destroying potatoes, all to restrict what was available for sale. “UPGA utilized predatory conduct and coercive conduct in ensuring compliance with the price-fixing scheme,” according to the lawsuit, which charges tactics including use of “satellite imagery, fly-overs, GPS systems, and other methods to enforce its agreement to reduce potato supply.” The grocers are asking for triple damages, likely in the millions, and are focusing on growers of fresh potato varieties found in big bags in supermarket produce aisles, as well as potatoes that are processed into golden fries, tater-tots and other products and sold in freezer sections of the group’s stores.
WASHINGTON (AP) — In a first, America’s racial and ethnic minorities now make up about half of the under-5 age group, reflecting sweeping changes by race and class among young people. Due to an aging population, nonHispanic whites last year recorded more deaths than births. These two milestones, revealed in 2012 census estimates released Thursday, are the latest signs of a historic shift in which whites will become a minority within a generation, by 2043. They come after the Census Bureau reported last year that whites had fallen to a minority among newborns. Fueled by immigration and high rates of birth, particularly among Hispanics, racial and ethnic minorities are growing more rapidly in numbers than whites. The decline in the U.S. white population has been occurring more quickly than expected, resulting in the first “natural decrease” for whites — deaths exceeding births — in more than a century, census data show. For now, the non-Hispanic white population continues to increase slightly, but only because of immigration from Europe. Based on current rates of growth, whites in the under-5 group are expected to fall below 50 percent this year or next, said Thomas Mesenbourg, the Census Bureau’s acting director. “This is the tipping point presaging the gradual decline of the white population, which will be a signature demographic trend of this century,” said William H. Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution. “More so than ever, we need to recognize the importance of young minorities for the growth and vitality of our labor force and economy.” The imminent tip to a white minority among young children adds a racial dimension to government spending on early-childhood education, such as President Barack Obama’s proposal to significantly expand pre-K for lower-income families. The nation’s demographic changes are already stirring discussion as to whether some civil rightsera programs, such as affirmative action in col-
lege admissions, should be retooled to focus more on income than on race and ethnicity. The Supreme Court will rule on the issue this month. The government projects that in five years, minorities will make up more than half of children under 18. Studies show that gaps in achievement by both race and class begin long before college, suggesting that however the high court rules, the U.S. remedies to foster equal opportunity will need to reach earlier into a child’s life. “The educational system is likely to be the most widely used and most acceptable policy tool we have for equalizing life chances. But it does not seem so far to achieve this goal,” said Timothy Smeeding, an economics professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who specializes in income inequality. “This specter of unequal opportunity may be the biggest negative social outcome of the continuing American inequality boom.” The gap between rich and poor in the U.S. has now stretched to its widest since 1970, making opportunities to reach the middle class increasingly difficult. Longer-term changes in family structure, such as a decline in marriage, have led to a rise in single-mother households across all racial groups, with the fastest growth now occurring among whites. More than 40 percent of newborns are now born out of wedlock in families more likely to be low income. The latest census numbers show: • The population younger than 5 stood at 49.9 percent minority in 2012. • The nonwhite population increased by 1.9 percent to 116 million, or 37 percent. Hispanics make up 17 percent of the U.S.; blacks, 12.3 percent; Asians, 5 percent; and multiracial Americans, 2.4 percent. • About 353 of the nation’s 3,143 counties, or 11 percent, are now “majority-minority,” including six which tipped last year. • Among the under-5 age group, 22 percent live in poverty, typically in more rural states such as Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana. Black toddlers
were most likely to be poor, at 41 percent, followed by Hispanics at 32 percent and whites at 13 percent. Asian toddlers had a poverty rate of 11 percent. Smeeding’s analysis of the latest research and data on social mobility, provided to The Associated Press, shows that a child’s achievement varies widely depending on a parent’s education and income. The reason: More educated parents tend to have fewer children and generally earn more money than before, allowing them to spend larger amounts of time or money on a child’s development, including music or art classes, extra tutoring, or travel and summer camps. The gaps in achievement tend to emerge early in childhood, continuing through high school, and disparities are especially evident in SAT admission scores. College Board data show that average scores spread as wide as 130-140 points in each of the reading, math and writing sections for a student with family income of less than $20,000, compared with a student with family income exceeding $200,000. About 40 percent of whites age 25-29 graduate from college, compared with 15 percent for Latinos and 23 percent for blacks. Obama proposed expanding pre-K education for any 4-year-old whose family income was below twice the federal poverty rate, or $46,000 for a family of four. That is an increasingly minority age group that would benefit from what Obama calls the single most effective way to boost educational outcomes. The plan would be paid for by a nearly $1 per pack federal cigarette tax. But at a time of strapped federal budgets, Republican lawmakers have been reluctant to expand the scope of government or raise new taxes. Medicare and Social Security costs due to aging of the mostly white baby boomer generation are also adding to the government burden. A recent Rutgers University study found that state funding for pre-K programs had its largest drop ever last year, with states now spending less per child than a decade ago.
CHICAGO (AP) — As she considers another White House bid, Hillary Rodham Clinton intends to work in the nonprofit world on issues like improving early childhood education, promoting the rights of women and girls, and finding ways to improve the economy — a set of priorities that could inform a 2016 presidential campaign. The former secretary of state offered her most extensive description of her post-Obama administration agenda on Thursday since leaving her role as the nation’s top diplomat, basking in loud applause from admirers at a Clinton Global Initiative meeting in Chicago. The former first lady, a longtime advocate for women and children, said the foundation would serve as “my home” on a set of public policy initiatives close to her heart. “What I think we have to be about is working
together, overcoming the lines that divide us, this partisan, cultural, geographic (divide). Building on what we know works, we can take on any challenge we confront,” Clinton said. Reflecting the entire family’s involvement, the foundation has been renamed the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation. Clinton’s speech at the start of a two-day annual conference touched on themes that could be part of a future
Democratic presidential campaign, with the former New York senator stressing the need for private and public partnerships to tackle issues like economic and educational inequality. She said climate change, “financial contagion” and nuclear proliferation were “too complex and crosscutting” for any one government to solve alone. “This can’t just be a conversation about Washington. We all need to do our part,” she said.

Officials hope to restore higher ed funding By ROY WENZL and DION LEFLER The Wichita Eagle
(MCT) — The state budget hasn’t been signed yet, but some officials — including the governor and Senate president — already are planning a bid to restore at least some of the money Kansas universities lost to this year’s cuts. Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, said she thinks the salary and wage cap proposal in the budget bill passed in the aftermidnight hours on June 2 will badly hurt universities and hamper Wichita State University’s efforts to improve its offerings in technological studies — especially aviation, where the university is a national leader in research. “Its passage will have a huge impact on attracting the best and the brightest talent to compete in a marketplace that is increasingly becoming more high tech and specialty focused,” Wagle said. “Unless there is an outcry from those who are affected, legislators might not understand why this is bad.” Although he can’t use his veto power to restore cuts to higher education, Wagle said she’s hoping Gov. Sam Brownback will
denounce the cuts when he signs the budget bill and try to restore them through a budget supplement when the Legislature returns to the Capitol in January. “The governor’s hands are tied today, but he can turn back the clock by funding that cut and sending us a governor’s budget amendment,” Wagle said. “I’m confident the Senate would welcome that amendment and pass it quickly through the process.” Brownback “likely will submit something in January” to try to get the Legislature to restore funding to the 2014 and 2105 fiscal years, said his spokeswoman, Sherriene Jones-Sontag. While approval would be a virtual slam dunk in the Senate, it’s likely to face more opposition in the House. During this year’s budget deliberations, many House members were a lot more hawkish about cutting budgets than their Senate counterparts. In the end, both houses agreed to cut general fund support for universities by 1.5 percent and institute a salary cap going forward. In total, the cuts took about $33?million off Brownback’s recommendations for higher educa-
tion funding each of the next two years. The actual cut to WSU is calculated to be about 3.1 percent. Of that, 1.5 percent is the acrossthe-board cut and the rest is from the salary cap. WSU President John Bardo has proposed an 8 percent tuition increase; 3.5 percent to offset the state cuts and 4.5 percent for other university priorities, including a pool to fund merit raises for faculty and some staff. Unlike most state agencies, the new legislation leaves universities the option of fully funding positions and even giving raises, but the money to do that is not in the state allocation and would have to come from someplace else. “I opposed the salary caps, the Senate opposed them, the governor opposed them, and we all opposed them because it’s a really bad idea,” Wagle said. “In passing the salary cap, the Legislature as an entity is trying to micromanage agencies’ budgets without having experience with or knowledge of the impact of those salary cuts.” The salary caps, she said, “will hurt jobs. They will hurt aerospace.”
She said the legislative session ended badly, with many people upset about the salary cap. “The implementation of a salary cap is a brand new concept to the Legislature,” Wagle added in an e-mail on Wednesday. “The cap language was an amendment that never had a hearing and was not subject to legislative scrutiny. “I think it flies in the face of sound fiscal management by removing incentives and rewards for exceptional outcomes. It is the ‘dumb down’ approach to managing a regents budget.” Wagle said the Senate only agreed to the budget bill as a last resort, when it became apparent that the House was unwilling or unable to pass a budget without a salary cap. She said part of the problem is that the 125-member House has dozens of new members, many of them unfamiliar with some of the realities of governing a state. Micromanaging salaries at universities, she said, is impossible to do well from the Legislature. “It is a task beyond what we have the capability of doing,” she said. “We’re better at the broad brush than we are at telling agencies how to spend their money.”
Local Work Group scheduled to meet The Finney County Conservation District board of supervisors will hold a Local Work Group meeting at 11 a.m. Tuesday. The meeting will take place at the USDA Service Center, 2106 E. Spruce St., Garden City and should last no more than an hour. The purpose is to provide recommendations to the Natural Resources Conservation Service on local natural resource priorities and criteria for conservation activities and programs. The agenda also includes: • Reviewing 2013 conservation programs. • And making recommendations for the 2014 program year, including resource concerns to be addressed, eligible practices, payment rates and ranking criteria. “LWGs are important, because they provide recommendations on local and state natural resource priorities and criteria for U.S. Department of Agriculture conservation activities and programs to the NRCS Kansas Technical Committee,” said Andrew Larson Jr., chairperson of the FCCD. The LWGs should be diverse and focus on agricultural interests and natural resource issues existing in the community.

Brownback signs Kansas income tax cut bill TOPEKA (AP) — Proclaiming Kansas “open for business,” Gov. Sam Brownback on Thursday signed into law a measure that makes additional income tax cuts over the next five years while generating new revenue through higher sales taxes and other adjustments. He said the changes make the Kansas tax code “fairer, flatter and simpler for families and small businesses.” “This approach broadens the base and lowers tax rates for the benefit of the maximum number of Kansans,“ Brownback said during a ceremony at a construction site in Overland Park. “The result has been three years of historic and innovative tax relief. Our pro-
growth tax policies will pave the way for Kansas to be the best place in America to raise a family and grow a business. The changes in income tax rates include an adjustment in the standard deduction for personal income taxes starting in tax year 2014. The legislation also addresses the state sales tax, which had been scheduled to drop in July from 6.3 percent to 5.7 percent. Lawmakers voted instead to trim the rate slightly to 6.15 percent, which will raise an estimated $777 million over five years. Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, said Brownback isn’t pursuing lower taxes so much as
pushing to shift the burden to paying taxes to poor and middle-class families. Legislators approved the measure this year after passing massive income tax cuts in 2012. Brownback has said he hopes eventually to eliminate the state income tax entirely. The tax package was viewed by Brownback during the 2013 session as completing what he sought to do last year when the first phase of tax cuts were enacted. That plan originally had several so-called “pay-for” provision that sought to offset the rate cuts by eliminating certain itemized deductions and exemptions, including those for mortgage and interest payments.
In the 2012 law, Kansas collapsed the three-bracket system into two and lowered rates. It also boosted the standard deduction for married couples and single parents and exempted the owners of 191,000 partnerships, sole proprietorships and other businesses from income taxes. Conservative Republicans pushed the initial cuts through last year while acknowledging that the plan was too aggressive and would need refinement in 2013. Those changes in the bill signed by Brownback on Thursday include decreasing income tax deductions over time as overall rates drop, as well as giving a less generous standard deduction for married couples and single parents.
Kansas winter wheat harvest getting slow start WICHITA (AP) — The winter wheat harvest is off to a slow, tentative start in south-central Kansas. Steve Inslee, general manager at the OK Co-op in Kiowa, said Thursday that local farmers have cut a few acres and the grain elevator has taken a couple of loads of wheat. “It sort of began,” Inslee said. “The Kansas harvest has started.” He doesn’t look for the area’s harvest to begin in earnest until Sunday or Monday. Within a 25-mile radius of Kiowa, the wheat crop does not look very good because of the drought, and Inslee anticipates his grain elevator will take in just 1 million bushels this season. That would be one-third of
what it received last year. “I hope it fools me and it does a lot better than that,” he said. “We will wait and see what happens.” But a cool, wet spring has helped the wheat recover elsewhere in Kansas. On Wednesday, The National Agricultural Statistics Service revised its harvest forecast for Kansas to 307.8 million bushels, up 3 percent from the estimate just a month ago. But even with that improvement, the anticipated 2013 wheat crop in the state falls far short of last year’s production. The Kansas harvest expected to be down 21 percent from a year ago. But the production estimates fluctuates widely across the state, depending on where time-
ly moisture fell. Both southwest and west-central Kansas are not expected to bring in any more than 53 percent of the previous year’s crop with production estimates of 27 million bushels and 22.5 million bushels, respectively. The crop in northwest Kansas is forecast to be 60 percent of what came in a year ago. South-central Kansas, which encompasses the state’s biggest wheat growing region, is forecast to bring in 78.5 million bushels of wheat, or about 84 percent of last year’s crop. In southeast Kansas the forecast of 24.5 million bushels is just one percentage point shy of last year’s harvest. At the same time, the central and east-central parts of Kansas are anticipated to harvest slightly bigger crops this harvest than
last year, according to the according to the agency’s latest estimate. In northwest Kansas, this year’s wheat crop is forecast to be 72 percent bigger at 8.1 million bushels. The industry’s trade group, Kansas Wheat, said Thursday it knows of no other wheat harvest activity yet in the state other than those few fields being cut in Kiowa. Its spokesman, Bill Spiegel, said the Kansas harvest was about 70 percent complete by this time last year. The cool, wet spring in much of Kansas has delayed the crop, but the past couple of days of hot weather has helped dry out the crop for harvest. “We are all wanting to get going, but Mother Nature is not cooperating yet,” Spiegel said.

Misfiring with toy gun buyback
What they’re saying The Anniston Star on snooping on the people: Imagine for a moment a gaggle of high-powered Washington elites gathered at a White House podium. This bipartisan assembly includes the current president of the United States and top members of his administration as well as former President George W. Bush and key personnel from his administration. Also included are the top senators and representatives on our intelligence committees. The subject is the recent revelations that vast amounts of electronic data belonging to U.S. citizens are being collected by the feds in the name of national security. As articles in The Guardian newspaper and The Washington Post point out, the National Security Agency has secretly collected U.S. phone records and other online activity for several years spanning two presidential administrations. All of this — and probably much more — is done in the name of thwarting the plans of jihadists who have already proven themselves capable of committing deadly acts of terrorism in the United States and across the globe. Yet, Edward Snowden, a former private contractor working for the NSA, told reporters from The Guardian and The Washington Post that the programs are well over the line. So, back to our podium assembly. President Barack Obama along with President Bush and Republican and Democratic members of Congress look directly into the TV cameras and walk back their defenses of the collection of so-called phone records metadata. The programs are a step too far, they say. While legal under the PATRIOT Act, this massive invasion of the privacy of U.S. citizens must come to an end. Never again in this manner will we trade liberty for security, they promise. Thwarting terrorist plots may become more difficult, they sigh, but the trust of the American people is more important. So from this day forward, they sum up, we will no longer gather up the electronic dust left by Americans as they use computers and mobile phones. Yeah, right. No American can reasonably expect such an announcement. Even if our leaders were sincere in their declarations, a backslide into electronic snooping would happen within hours of a terrorist attack in the United States. The stakes are too high and the tools too attractive to do anything else. New York Times on an important victory on morning-after pills: Reluctantly yielding to a federal-court decision, the Obama administration announced on Monday that it will take steps to allow a version of the socalled morning-after pill, known as Plan B One-Step, to be sold over the counter to girls and women of all ages. They will not need a prescription, nor will they be required to show any identification to obtain the emergency contraceptive. There will be no restrictions on where the drug can be sold; it will be up to the manufacturer to propose appropriate venues. The turnabout from the administration’s previous politically motivated restrictions on the pill was hailed as a breakthrough, or at least a significant step forward, by some advocates for women. This latest stance substantially repairs the damage done when Kathleen Sebelius, the secretary of health and human services, intervened in December 2011 to block the Food and Drug Administration from approving the morning-after pills for all females of childbearing age. ... In April, the FDA approved use of Plan B OneStep in girls ages 15 and 16, but that would still have required checkout clerks in drugstores to demand proof of age. Now the administration has abandoned the legal battle and announced that it will move to make Plan B One-Step, an easy-to-use version of the pill, available without restrictions. However, it warned that Plan B One-Step might be granted “marketing exclusivity” for a period of time. Ideally, there should be no restrictions on these remarkably safe and effective drugs that can prevent pregnancy if taken within 72 hours of sexual intercourse.

Music can’t soothe savage beast W
hat do bank executives who make $19 million a year do in their spare time? The same thing they do in their executive suites. They squeeze America’s middle class. That’s not, of course, what the flacks at U.S. Bancorp, the nation’s fifth-largest bank, will tell you. They’ll say the CEO of their Minneapolisbased banking giant, Richard Davis, graciously gives up some of his spare time to serve on the board of the nationally renowned Minnesota Orchestra. True enough. But CEO Davis brings to that board much more than a fondness for fugues. He brings the same corporate executive arrogance that has shoved labor’s share of the nation’s economic output down to modern-day record lows. This redistribution — from worker to boss — has been rushing ahead now for over three decades. Since 1980, as analyst David Cay Johnston notes, “corporate pre-tax profits have grown at almost twice the rate of pre-tax wages.” What’s driving this massive redistribution? A relentless corporate offensive to minimize labor bargaining power by any means necessary. Including “lockouts.” Richard Davis chairs the negotiating committee at the non-profit group responsible for the Minnesota Orchestra. This past Oct. 1, Davis and his fellow corporate managers who run the nonprofit “locked out” the orchestra’s musicians, who had refused to accept a contract offer that would have cut their pay by up to 50 percent. Ever since then, the Minnesota Orchestra’s symphony musicians have gone without salary, health insurance and pension contributions — the basic building blocks of middle class security.
COMMENTARY Sam Pizzigati otherwords.org
These musicians aren’t striking. Quite the contrary. They offered to keep working while bargaining negotiations continued. They also offered to submit “to impartial, final and binding arbitration under the guidance of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.” Davis and his friends rejected these offers. They chose instead to keep the musicians from working — and to wait for them to cave. Back in America’s middle class golden age, such managerial behavior would have been unthinkable. In the 1950s and 1960s, any corporate chiefs who locked out workers in a labor dispute would become pariahs in their communities, the sort of shady, suspect operators prestigious non-profit organizations would never embrace. But elite attitudes toward lockouts started changing in 1975, when an ostensibly liberal pillar of the business community, Washington Post publisher Katharine Graham, replaced striking workers with “replacement workers” and lived to tell the tale. Six years later, a newly elected conservative president, Ronald Reagan, fired and replaced striking air traffic controllers. A new anything-goes corporate management approach to labor relations soon took hold. Lockouts would become simply another option in the modern American management toolkit — and the federal regulator created to safeguard the right to good-faith collective bargaining, the National Labor
Detroit losing remaining riches M
y old hometown — or, as I like to call it: “The Late Great City of Detroit” — is threatening to add an oak leaf cluster to the badge of humiliation it wears like an Olympic medal. It’s bad enough that the city’s previous mayor is awaiting sentencing on corruption charges for which he was convicted in March. And that a former councilwoman and a battalion of city officials are doing time for similar crimes. And that it retains its national primacy in such categories as arson and murder. It’s bad enough that Detroit has lost well over half of its two million residents since I was growing up there or that 30 percent of the city’s lots have been abandoned and its houses left to rot until someone burns them down. And it’s bad enough that nearly half of its young workers have no jobs or lack the skill to hold a job if there were any to be had. It’s also bad enough that the governor of Michigan has appointed an emergency manager with dictatorial powers to try and get control of the financial mess that defines city government there. (And when I say dictatorial, I mean it. Should the city declare bankruptcy, the manager can sweep in and do just about anything he wants, including abrogating union contracts and canceling pension plans.) Now, Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr seems to think that the city might sell off major art works belonging to the Detroit Institute of Arts.
COMMENTARY Donald Kaul otherwords.org
We’re talking top-of-the-line works by Van Gogh, Matisse, Bruegel and Rembrandt, paintings each valued at tens of millions of dollars. He denies that’s his plan, but he did ask the museum for an appraisal of its collection. The Detroit Institute of Arts is one of the greatest museums of the United States. It can hold its head up in the company of similar museums in Chicago, Boston, Cleveland and even Washington. More than that, it is one of the last remaining symbols (along with its acrossthe-street neighbor, the Main Library) of Detroit’s lost glory. The city might not have its belching factories anymore, nor its palatial mansions where the princes of commerce once lived and played, but it does have the museum — one of the last fully functioning institutions left in this dysfunctional city. Naturally, that’s what the emergency manager wants to loot in order to pay bondholders, to whom Detroit owes some $16 billion. He’s looking for assets to sell and the museum collection is a beaut. Personally, I think the idea is shameful, akin to selling off one’s children to pay the mortgage. Hard times are no stranger to America’s great industrial

Immigration: Senators seek border security consensus Continued from Page A1
equipment and personnel along the U.S.-Mexico border, and says the path to citizenship can’t go forward until certain border security requirements are met. But critics say these “triggers� are too weak, because in some cases they require the Department of Homeland Security to implement plans, not actually show results. “If we pass the bill as it is there will be no pressure on this administration or future administrations to secure the border,� Grassley said. Rubio has been saying that stron-
ger language on border security would be needed to ensure passage in the Democratic-controlled Senate and the Republican-controlled House. The question now is how to do that without raising concerns among Democrats that the path to citizenship would be delayed — the reason that Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and others gave for opposing Grassley’s amendment Thursday. In the absence of an amendment that answers Republican concerns without alienating Democrats, Republicans have been voicing support for a measure by Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, that requires 100
percent surveillance of the border and 90 percent of would-be crossers to be stopped before anyone can get a permanent resident green card. The bill as written includes those same figures as goals but doesn’t make the citizenship path contingent on them. Schumer, McCain and others have dismissed Cornyn’s amendment as a non-starter, but they need to give Republicans who’ve backed it something else to support instead. “We need to either convince Sen. Cornyn to move a little bit in our direction or have an alternative,
and we’re working on an alternative that will satisfy many of the concerns the Republicans have,� McCain said. Schumer said all the Gang of Eight senators who wrote the bill met Wednesday night and agreed they were open to changes on border security as long as they didn’t alter the bill’s core provisions or slow the path to citizenship. Schumer and the three other Democratic authors of the bill, along with Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., met with President Barack Obama at the White House Thursday to discuss strategy.
As written the bill requires the Homeland Security Department to develop a plan to secure the border, but many Republicans distrust the department to do that. So McCain said he’s gotten specifics from the Border Patrol on equipment, sensors, and other tools that would be required in each of the nine border sectors to achieve a 90 percent rate of stopping border crossers. The idea is to include those details in the bill and require the Homeland Security Department to implement them, to give supporters assurances that goals on border security would actually be carried out.
Talley Trail: Extension project Standards: New Kansas science set to receive KDOT funding benchmarks weaker, institute says Continued from Page A1

“We’d also go south down Jennie Barker and eventually tie a pretty good trail system in. But those are still long-range goals.� Only two other projects in southwest Kansas were included in KDOT’s transportation enhancement program — a path extension and AT&SF Depot repair, both in Dodge City. Overall, the
35 projects are estimated to cost $17.9 million. KDOT received 91 applications requesting more than $63 million. Transportation Enhancement is a federally-funded program that provides funding for facilities for pedestrians and bicycles; pedestrian and bicycle safety and education activities; acquisition of scenic or historic easements and sites; scenic or histori-
cal highway programs; landscaping and scenic beautification; historic preservation; rehabilitation and operation of historic transportation buildings, structures or facilities; conversion of abandoned railway corridors to trails; control or removal of outdoor advertising; archaeological planning and research; and establishment of transportation museums.
Scales: Meeting set to address issue Continued from Page A1
half the scales were rejected for not meeting state accuracy standards. There are about 4,000 such scales in Kansas, used to weigh agricultural products, scrap metal, recyclables and other materials. The state employs a unique, semi-privatized system in which private scale technicians install the devices and inspect them once a year. Their work is occasionally spot-checked by Weights and Measures, which currently employs
three inspectors. The system has been in place since 1985. A 1996 audit found that the state was not providing sufficient oversight to ensure scale accuracy and Joe Hamilton, owner of an Oklahoma scale service company, told Agriculture Department leaders last year that enforcement had grown lax again, putting companies determined to follow the rules at a competitive disadvantage. Following those meetings department officials promised a “new day� of enforcement. Tyson’s letter describes
the upcoming meeting as an extension of that philosophy. “Over the past year, KDA has been working to improve the weights and measures program,� Tyson wrote. “Communication with service companies and continued training is one focus of our efforts to improve the program. This in-person meeting will give us an important opportunity to discuss key Kansas laws, KDA’s enforcement process and policy changes. We also will discuss scale service technician training.�
to develop statewide tests given to students annually to judge how well schools are teaching, which in turn influences classroom content. But Finn said the new, multistate science standards have “serious shortcomings.� “Our suggestion is that states that are unhappy with their science standards might have other alternatives,� he told reporters. “They might borrow from the standards of a state that’s done a really good job of this.� Supporters acknowledge the new standards have a narrower focus in terms of the topics they cover. But, backers contend, the guidelines will encourage a deeper knowledge of key concepts, such as evolution and climate change, and help schools do a better job of training students to think like scientists. “A lot of standards have tended to be a mile wide and an inch deep,� said Joshua Rosenau, programs and policy director for the National Center on Science Education, based in Oakland, Calif. “It’s just a lot of information you shovel at kids
report that they scrimp on detail about what key concepts students are supposed to learn, citing chemistry and physics as the most glaring examples. “We think that the ones you are ushering out the door are superior,� Chester Finn, the institute’s president, said in a conference call ahead of the report’s release. “I hope you give them a very nice going-away party.� The Kansas board’s past work on science standards has been overshadowed by debates over how to teach evolution. In 2005, after the board, led by conservative Republicans, adopted science standards treating evolution as a flawed theory, the Fordham Institute gave the Kansas guidelines an “F� and declared them the worst in the nation. Two years later, with conservatives out of power, the board adopted evolution-friendly guidelines. Kansas law requires the State Board of Education to update academic standards at least once every seven years. The standards are used
so they can remember it on a test.� Kansas school board members supporting the new standards said they will strengthen science education. Board Chairwoman Jana Shaver, an Independence Republican, said in a statement Wednesday that it is preparing students not only for college courses but “for science literacy in everyday life.� Several teachers told the board that emphasizing hands-on experiments will excite their students. “What I’m struck most by is the focus on skills instead of rote memorization,� said Scott Sharp, a biology teacher at DeSoto High School. Kathleen Por terMagee, the Fordham Institute’s senior director for high-quality standards, said while teaching students how to conduct experiments and think like scientists is important, so is mastering facts. “I fear that we have grown to equate learning content with rote memorization,� she said. “Knowing the material remains as critical today as it ever has been.�

Religion Briefs Pope confirms ‘gay lobby’ at work at Vatican VATICAN CITY (AP) — In private remarks to the leadership of a key Latin American church group, Pope Francis lamented that a “gay lobby” was at work at the Vatican. It was an apparent reference to allegations in the Italian media that blackmail was taking place within the Vatican against high-ranking prelates who are gay. The Latin American and Caribbean Confederation of Religious — the regional organization for priests and nuns of religious orders — confirmed Tuesday that its leaders had written a synthesis of Francis’ remarks after their June 6 audience. The group, known by its Spanish acronym CLAR, said it was greatly distressed that the document had been published and apologized to the pope. In the document, Francis is quoted as saying that while there were many holy people in the Vatican, there was also a current of corruption. “The ‘gay lobby’ is mentioned, and it is true, it is there ... We need to see what we can do ...” the synthesis reads. The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said Tuesday the audience was private and that as a result he had nothing to say.
Come Celebrate Christ with your brothers and sisters Weekly Words of Wisdom RESPONSIBILITY
ANCIENT WISDOM FOR MODERN LIFE
The thought of great wealth appeals to many. Who wouldn’t want to be able to buy whatever they wanted? With great wealth, however, comes great responsibility—to be humble believers generous to others. Even if you don’t have a lot, you still have a responsibility as a follower of God to be generous and share what you have with those in need.
Proposed fee draws fire in S.C . city BEAUFORT, S.C. (AP) — A proposal to place a fee on nonprofit groups, churches, hospitals and schools is drawing fire in Beaufort. The Beaufort Gazette reports that the city council is considering a fee equal to 0.01 percent of a property’s appraised value for those who do not pay property taxes. The money would be used to pay for emergency services. The city faces a deficit of as much as $700,000. Almost all of 100 people at Tuesday’s council meeting opposed the idea. The groups included church members as well as the CEO of Beaufort Memorial Hospital. The interim president of the Technical College of the Lowcountry, Gina Mounfield, said education funding is dropping and the school is relying more on tuition. She said the college does not need another expense.
Court declines to hear challenge DENVER (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear an appeal of a Colorado ruling that bars abortion protesters from displaying graphic images of aborted fetuses in places where they might upset children. The Denver Post reports the court’s decision, announced Monday, means the lower court ruling stands. The case stems from a 2005 protest near an outdoor Palm Sunday service at Denver’s Saint John’s Cathedral, an Episcopal church. Protesters who disagreed with the Episcopal church’s stance in favor of abortion rights shouted while displaying large images of aborted fetuses. Church officials said some of the approximately 200 children at the service became upset.

Court: Isolated human genes cannot be patented WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously threw out attempts to patent human genes, siding with advocates who say the multibillion-dollar biotechnology industry should not have exclusive control over genetic information found inside the human body. But the high court also approved for the first time the patenting of synthetic DNA, handing a victory to research-
ers and companies looking to come up with ways to fight — and profit — from medical breakthroughs that could reverse life-threatening diseases such as breast or ovarian cancer. The decision “sets a fair and level playing field for open and responsible use of genetic information,� said Dr. Robert B. Darnell, president and scientific director of the New York Genome Center. “At the
same time, it does not preclude the opportunity for innovation in the genetic world, and should be seen as an important clarifying moment for research and the healthcare industry.� The high court’s judgment, written by Justice Clarence Thomas, reverses three decades of patent awards by government officials and throws out patents held by Salt Lake City-based Myriad
Genetics Inc. involving a breast cancer test brought into the public eye recently by actress Angelina Jolie’s revelation that she had a double mastectomy. Jolie said she carries a defective BRCA1 gene that puts her at high risk of developing breast and ovarian cancers, and her doctor said the test that turned up the faulty gene link led Jolie to have both of her healthy breasts removed.

f I say “it’s all happening at the zoo,� I’ll bet you get a little Simon and Garfunkel jingle running through your mind. It seems to me that Paul and Art knew what they were talking about when they wrote that song. There are a tremendous amount of things happening at the zoo, and sometimes I wonder just how we keep on track and still keep our heads above water! So what’s new at the zoo? This past Monday wrapped up several months of planning to host Blues at the Zoo 3 with the legendary blues band The Nighthawks rocking a great crowd on the zoo’s west green. Despite record high temperatures that day, the west green held true to its reputation and provided a comfortable and shady venue for the event, and concert-goers were not disappointed. Warm perhaps, but glad that they ventured out for a fun evening of unique entertainment. Next Saturday, June 22, Friends of Lee Richardson Zoo is hosting their first ever Global Bazaar from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. This event will also take place on the west end of the zoo, with a selection of food and cultural arts and craft booths set up around the triangle near the playground. One notable booth will feature merchandise from “Ten Thousand Villages,� an organization that supports vital fair income to Third World countries and artisans by marketing their handicrafts and sharing their stories with consumers in North America. Admission is free to zoo patrons and booth space is still available to vendors. For more information, contact Brian at the Friends

seen being pedaled around the zoo. Their popularity with guests has been phenomenal, and the shoppe just took delivery of two more cycles, one of which has a triple seat (current models have either a single or double bench design). Staff is currently assembling the new bikes, and they should be available for rent soon. Also watch for some new wagons to rent in the near future. In the “cat�-egory of new exhibits, Cat Canyon is plugging along, and now that the contractor has completed their portion of the project, our staff is completing the final components like paths, public fencing, landscaping, irrigation, signage and more. We are still targeting an August grand opening, and will let you know when a date is set so you can come celebrate this wonderful new exhibit with us. Fourth of July will be on us before you can say “Happy Independence Day,� and once again, barring unforeseen weather circumstances, the Municipal Band will be playing on the zoo’s west green just prior to the community fireworks display. Join us for a late night at the zoo to have a great venue for the fireworks. And while there are a lot more projects in the works here at the zoo, I’ll save them for another day when they are farther along and closer to reality. Just remember our cool shady paths, beautiful grounds and amazing animals are here every day from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. for your enjoyment, whether for a fun family outing or a solitary retreat. See you soon!

office. New babies are always a welcome and popular attraction at the zoo, and this year we have several notable births that our keeper staff has been working toward as a part of our captive breeding efforts. No doubt you have heard about most of these babies already, but if not, you’ll want to come visit before these kids get any bigger. Our first arrivals were three otter pups born in February. Linus, L.J. and sister Summer are swimming up a storm now, but don’t look for itty-bitty babies as these three are growing like weeds and are now almost the size of Mom. She does occasionally still try to show them who’s boss by trying to carry them around by the scruff of their neck, but she doesn’t usually get very far. Our second birth was that of an addax, who is also growing fast but is still noticeably smaller than the rest of the family. This beautiful antelope species is on display in the west yard of the African Plains exhibit, just south of the aviary. Our three swan cygnets are still small, gray and fluffy looking, but they are all doing well under the very watchful eye and protective beaks of their parents. Look for them on the main duck pond near the zoo exit at Fifth Street. And last but not least, another Goeldi’s monkey was born to our parents, Sucre and Domingo, on May 31, and can be seen riding around on Mom’s back inside the
rainforest display in the Marie Osterbuhr Aviary. This makes three babies on display with Mom and Dad, so there is never a dull moment in that exhibit these days. And while we’re on the subject of the aviary, have you checked out the flight cage yet? The birds returned from their winter vacations off exhibit and our new bar-headed geese are a noisy and entertaining addition to the collection. The hamerkops are rebuilding their gigantic nest, and many of our paired birds are acting “nesty.� The flight cage itself has enjoyed some upgrades since we completed replacing the mesh last summer, including a new concrete sidewalk and additional plants. Our newly remodeled panda exhibit in Wild Asia will soon be ready, as it is just awaiting a few finishing touches by the keepers before we let the new panda pair out, but you can still catch a glimpse of Firecracker, our panda octogenarian in the original panda exhibit. Actually he’s not quite 80, but will celebrate his 22nd birthday on July 3, and that’s pretty darned old for a red panda, as they usually live about 14 years in captivity and eight to 10 in the wild. The previous record was 19 years and four months. And if you do come to see the pandas, remember that they prefer cold climates so are most likely to be outside during the cool of the morning, and resting inside in their air-conditioned dens during the heat of the day. Much like we humans! The Safari Shoppe has lots of fun things to eat and shop for, and most popular on their list are the Safari Cycles that you have likely

Big Three help Heat even Finals SAN ANTONIO (AP) — LeBron James was better as promised. Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh were the best they’ve been since the playoffs started. Riding big performances from their Big Three, the Miami Heat tied the NBA Finals with a 10993 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night in Game 4. James had 33 points and 11 rebounds after failing to break 20 points in any of the first three games of the series, and Wade scored 32 points, 11 more than his previous high this postseason. Bosh matched his playoff high with 20 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, he and Wade supplying the baskets that finally put the Spurs away for good midway through the fourth quarter. Just like they have for the last five months, the Heat bounced back from a loss with a victory — a lopsided one at that. They are 12-0 after losses since Jan. 10, outscoring opponents by 19.8 points in the previous 11 victories. “Right now it’s a three-game series,” Wade said. “Two great ballclubs, we just want to come out again and play well.” Tim Duncan scored 20 points for the Spurs, who have one more game here on Sunday. They fell to 10-3 at home in finals games, failing to back up their 113-77 victory in Game 3 that was the third-most lopsided game in the history of the championship series. James insisted he would be better after shooting 7 of 21 from the field with no free throws in that game, saying he was the star and it was his job to lead his team. But while James — and millions of critics worldwide — wanted to pile all the pressure on the league’s MVP, it was Wade on Wednesday who said it was the Heat’s three All-Stars who had to lead them together, or there would be no championship. He was right. And now those championship hopes are right back on track. Tony Parker had 15 points and nine assists for the Spurs, who made a finals-record 16 3-pointers on Tuesday but got up only 16 attempts in this one. Gary Neal scored 13 points and Danny Green had 10, solid nights but nothing like when they combined for 13 3-pointers two nights earlier. The Heat guaranteed they will get at least one more game on their home floor. Game 6 will be Tuesday night, where they could have a chance to clinch a second straight championship. Wade, battling right knee pain throughout the spring, put it away for Miami early in the fourth. He followed a basket with a steal and dunk, pushing the lead to 90-81, and after he made another jumper, Bosh scored the next six Heat points, taking the load off of James.
After a successful and high profile career as a record-setting place kicker, Jason Elam has found the post-pro football life to his liking. Family man, author, pilot, and ministries sum up part of Elam’s life, keeping him busy since he left the NFL in 2010. Elam, former kicker for the Denver Broncos from 1993 to 2007, signed autographs Thursday night at Menards as part of the store’s grand opening. Judging by the long line, the two-time Super Bowl champ made an impact with people in this part of the state in his playing days. Elam is the only player to have 15 consecutive seasons of 100 or more points, he was the first kicker to convert 300 field goals, and he was the fastest player to reach 1,600 and 1,700 points. In addition to two Super Bowl titles, he was also a three-time pro-bowler. Now living in Alaska, Elam has stayed
busy as a husband and father of five, and soon to be adding on. “I have one on the way. We just found out we’re going to have our sixth,” he said. “I love being a dad, and I love being a husband.” He is also doing a ministry in Alaska that is tied in to the Middle East. It’s life after football, and it’s worked for him. “A lot of guys struggle. You’ve heard all the statistics coming out of the NFL. A lot of it boils down to identity. That was their identity for so long, and now they struggle. I think I was able to keep a perspective that football is something that I did; it wasn’t who I was,” he said. Elam said he always figured life was going to be better after his football days, and football was “awesome. I’m living a blessed life so far,” he said. Elam has co-authored four fiction sports books, the Riley Covington series, which he started while he was still playing. The title character plays linebacker in the NFL, and he’s served a tour of duty in Afghanistan and is a Christian. “My older brother’s in the military — a full colonel in the National Guard See Elam, Page B2

Phil Mickelson reacts to his putt on the ninth hole Thursday during the first round of the U.S. Open golf tournament at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pa.
ARDMORE, Pa. (AP) — Even for Phil Mickelson, his path to the top of the leaderboard Thursday in the U.S. Open was unconventional. He traveled about 2,400 miles in the air and 7,000 yards on the ground. He took a short nap on his private jet from San Diego and another one during a rain delay when he found a secluded corner of the library room in the Merion clubhouse. He carried five wedges but no driver. Some 17 hours later, Mickelson had a 3-under 67 to match his best opening round in the U.S. Open. Mickelson returned from his daughter’s eighth-grade graduation about 3 1/2 hours before his tee time. He three-putted his first hole for a bogey and didn’t give back a shot the rest of the day at Merion, which proved plenty tough by yielding only one other round under par to the 78 players who completed the first round. Because of two rain delays, the first round won’t be completed until Friday morning. Mickelson won’t have to tee it up again for another 24 hours. Enough time to fly back to San Diego? “I don’t want to push it, no,” Mickelson said with a tired smile. Tiger Woods faced a tougher road. He appeared to hurt his left hand after trying to gouge out of the deep rough on the opening hole. He grimaced and shook his left wrist again after hitting a 5-wood out of the rough on the fifth hole. He already had three bogeys though five holes before starting to make up ground with a 50-foot birdie putt on the par-4 sixth hole. Woods, however, failed to take advan-
tage on the short stretch of holes in the middle of the round, and he was shaking his hand again after shots out of the rough on the 10th and twice on the 11th. He was 2-over for his round and had a 4-foot par putt on the 11th when play was stopped for the day. “I’ve got a lot of holes to play tomorrow,” Woods said. “And, hopefully, I can play a little better than I did today.” Luke Donald was 4-under through 13 holes, making one last birdie before leaving the course. The first round was to resume at 7:15 a.m. Friday, and the forecast called for drier weather for the rest of the week. Masters champion Adam Scott, playing with Woods and Rory McIlroy, was 3-under through 11 holes, while defending U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson was 2-under through eight holes. McIlroy was 1-under. Lee Westwood got the full Merion experience. He was 3-under when his approach on the 12th hit the wicker basket — the signature at Merion, replacing traditional flags — and bounced off the green, leading to a double bogey. For Mickelson, this could be the start of yet another chance to win the major championship he wants so dearly. Or maybe he’s setting himself up for more heartache. He already has been a runnerup a record five times in the U.S. Open. “If I’m able — and I believe I will — if I’m able to ultimately win a U.S. Open, I would say that it’s great,” Mickelson said. “Because I will have had ... a win and five seconds. But if I never get that win, then it would be a bit heart-breaking.” Nicolas Colsaerts of Belgium, the only other player from the morning wave to break par, picked up birdies on the short seventh and eighth holes for a 69.

Broncos release McGahee Elam: Former Broncos kicker ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Willis McGahee’s decision to skip offseason workouts isn’t what cost the veteran running back his job with the Denver Broncos. His absence, however, did allow the organization to s e e ample promise in rookie Montee Ball and abundant progress from second-year speedster Ronnie Hillman. That gave them the faith to put the football and their fortunes in the hands of the two young running backs Thursday by releasing McGahee, the 31-yearold bruiser who led them in rushing last season despite missing the final two months with a right knee injury. The move wasn’t unexpected, but the timing of it was a bit of a surprise. The Broncos could have kept McGahee through training camp as an insurance policy against injury even if he wasn’t going to vie for the starting job. Instead, they sent him on his way just before wrapping up their three-day mandatory minicamp where McGahee had gotten just a handful of handoffs. “In fairness to him, I think (for) the things he’s done for us, this gives him a better opportunity to hook on somewhere,” coach John Fox said. “It gives us a better opportunity to give some of these young guys more reps. It’s just a conscious decision for us to get
younger.” McGahee was mostly a spectator this week and seemed resigned to his impending release when on Tuesday he said, “If it happens, it happens.” Hours after releasing McGahee, the Broncos signed Ball, their secondround draft pick, along with cornerback Kayvon Webster, their thirdround selection. “I’m not here for money, honestly,” Ball said shortly before heading inside team headquarters to sign his contract. “And that’s what I told my agent. I told him not to bother them that much. I’m just blessed to be here because it’s always been my favorite team.” McGahee had two years and $4.5 million remaining on the four-year, $9.5 million deal he signed in 2011. By releasing him, the Broncos will take a $1 million cap hit this season. The Broncos are still deep at the position with former first-round pick Knowshon Moreno and versatile fullback Jacob Hester, among other veterans, also in the mix. McGahee was the first signing Fox and his boss, John Elway, made when they joined forces in 2011, and Fox said parting ways with the affable pro was difficult both for him and running backs coach Eric Studesville, who had worked with McGahee back in Buffalo. “I’d like to thank Willis for everything he did. He
did a great job for us, leading rusher. He was one of our first signees when we came here to get this thing turned around and it’s an unfortunate part about this business, but he did a great job for us,” Fox said. Elway said, “It’s never easy to part ways with a veteran player who made so many positive contributions to our team and community. I appreciate all of the competitiveness, toughness and leadership Willis brought to the Broncos. He was an integral part of our team’s turnaround during the past two seasons, and I wish him the best as he continues his NFL career.” Even with Ball, who scored an NCAA record 83 touchdowns at Wisconsin, joining a bulked-up Hillman in the Broncos’ backfield, McGahee shunned the team’s three weeks of voluntary workouts this spring, something Fox insisted had nothing to do with Thursday’s decision to release him. Upon his return for the Broncos’ mandatory minicamp Tuesday, McGahee said he skipped the OTAs for family reasons, insisted he would still be the starter come September and suggested that missing those 10 workouts didn’t put him at a decided disadvantage by giving the youngsters a head start. “I probably would have been behind the 8ball either way,” he said. “Younger group. Just being real, right?” Now he’ll be looking to carry the ball for someone else.

— and he loved hearing all the stories on team flights, on the sidelines, things that happened in the locker room. He said, ‘Jason, you need to write a book. People like to hear about all those things,’” Elam said. He was reluctant to do so, he said, because he lived it all the time. However, on a team flight, Elam said he got the idea that if he could combine some of the current events that were happening, tie them to those football stories and combine his Christian faith, he might have something. “I wrote up this synopsis, thought about it for a while and ran it by my wife and a few friends. Everyone liked the idea,” he said. Without previous experience, Elam said, he wrote a few chapters and sent it off to a literary agent, who liked it. Elam then enlisted a friend, Steve Yohn, who ended up as a co-author. “Before we knew it, we had a book and sent it off to a bunch of publishers,” Elam said. Eventually, the publishers wanted a two-book deal, which turned into four books. “It was fun. I had a great time doing it. And I was able to combine all those things,” he said. “I had some really good feedback.” Elam has channeled his Christian faith into a ministry that takes him to the
Middle East. “I really have a heart for the Middle East. I started going over there back in the ’90s. So that’s what I’m doing now. I’m the director of Israel for a ministry called e3 Partners,” he said. The group, which can be found at e3partners. org, works closely with Messianic Jewish pastors, Arab-Israeli pastors, and Palestinian pastors. The Midwest has been good for Elam, who was born in Florida, was reared in Atlanta and attended college in Hawaii. Since he spent most of his career as a Bronco, Elam said he has a special spot in his heart for Denver and its fans. “I had a chance to play in every (NFL) city, and I just love the Denver fans and the Denver organization,” he said. “I loved everything about Denver. The people were always so great to me. I felt like I always had a really great relationship with the fans. They were so die-hard, almost everywhere you went, people knew who you were and welcomed you. It was awesome. Still, now, when I go back to Denver, they’re so welcoming and hospitable.” He remembers his days as a Bronco fondly. “Those were fun, fun years. They were really special. Getting to play with guys like John Elway and Terrell Davis and Shannon Sharpe and Gary Zimmerman, all these Hall of Fame guys — I
just felt very, very blessed to have those guys as my teammates,” he said. Even for a kicker, his lengthy stay in the NFL was amazing, Elam said. “I never thought it was going to last 17 years. I thought I’d get in and just try to get vested, maybe get four or five years in and get a pension,” he said. His love of competition has transferred to his children. “They all love sports. My oldest is 16 now, and he’s really into soccer. Anything having to do with sports, my kids are all over it,” he said. The 43-year-old loved the teamwork and competition of being a pro. He also liked the camaraderie and environment. But it’s a life that’s part of history now, he said. “I got it all out of my system, though. You know, 17 years of stress every Sunday, I’m glad it’s over now. With the NFL, every game comes down to three points or less. So if you miss a field goal...,” Elam said, the implication obvious. But he had a dream and he got to live it, in a position that comes naturally with pressure. “You might be sitting on the bench for two or three hours and then get told ‘Go win the game,’” he said. “But that’s OK. That’s part of the game. It’s what dreams are made of right there.”
Injuries further dampen Rockies’ loss to Nationals DENVER (AP) — Two balks, a pair of scary moments and an injury that could have a big impact on the Colorado Rockies’ surprising season. It added up to a costly loss for a team that has exceeded expectations so far. Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and outfielders Carlos Gonzalez and Dexter Fowler suffered inju-
ries and two balks by Wilton Lopez opened the door for the Washington in the Nationals’ 5-4 win over Colorado on Thursday. Gonzalez and Fowler were hurt early and Tulowitzki left with a rib injury in the eighth. While the Rockies said X-rays on Gonzalez and Fowler were negative and listed both players as day to day, Tulowitzki’s injury
could be more serious. He left Coors Field to have an MRI done on his ribs, which manager Walt Weiss said have been sore for “about a week.” The Rockies hoped to get the results of the MRI later Thursday. “Just hope the MRI doesn’t show any damage and hopefully he’ll be day to day also,” Weiss said.
Tulowitzki was replaced by a pinch-hitter in the bottom of the eighth, straining an already short Rockies bench. Gonzalez was hit near the ankle by a foul ball while on deck in the first inning and exited with a bruised left foot. Fowler was hit on the right hand by a pitch from Ross Detwiler after squaring to bunt in the third. A
team trainer looked at Fowler, and the center fielder stayed in for another inning. He couldn’t swing a bat so he was replaced by Jonathan Herrera in the bottom of the fifth. “It was numb, I felt it swelling up. Obviously I couldn’t grip the bat so I couldn’t hit,” Fowler said.

Insist insecure husband go for counseling ANNIE’S MAILBOX KATHY MITCHELL MARCY SUGAR
with you for counseling. If he refuses, go on your own to decide whether this is something you can tolerate or alleviate. Dear Annie: Why do stores think that having sales associates accost you in every aisle will make you enjoy shopping? A simple “Hello, how may I help you?” is all we need. Following us around and asking all sorts of questions is annoying. Knowing this will happen every time I enter the store makes me want to shop elsewhere. People like to be acknowledged. They do not like to be hounded. If I want to wander around and look, I don’t enjoy being bombarded by five salespeople asking me the same stuff over and over. A customer who wants help will ask for it. Otherwise, please leave us alone. Businesses should train their employees to
treat people as valued customers, not idiots. — Toledo Dear Toledo: You make a valid argument, but we have to say, for every person who doesn’t want to be accosted, there are 10 who wish they could find a salesperson altogether. If the store employees work on commission, it would explain why they try so hard to make a sale to every customer. It usually suffices to say, “No, thank you. I’m just looking.” If not, feel free to register your complaint with the store manager and see whether it helps. Dear Annie: Not long ago, you printed a letter from “Too Clean, Too Fearful,” a woman with anxiety about highway travel. She did not want counseling. You suggested relaxation techniques but didn’t specifically mention Tai Chi or Qigong classes, which are available at many community centers, fitness clubs, YMCAs and senior centers. I teach both Tai Chi and Qigong and have been practicing for more than 24 years. It was part of my personal “quit smoking”
program in 1988. Tai Chi is “relaxation in motion.” It is a moving meditation that teaches one how to relax in action. It is the only exercise I know that does this. Qigong is a cousin of Tai Chi. These exercises can be done in private or in a park, alone or with a friend. You can share the activity with your spouse to learn how to relax together. They can be learned while seated for those who have difficulty standing. They can be enjoyed for a lifetime and help develop the mind, along with better balance and coordination. Tai Chi and Qigong are dynamic, fun and relaxing, and yes, they relieve anxiety. — Caroline Dear Caroline: Thanks for the additional suggestions. We hope our interested readers will check out these activities. Dear Readers: Today is Flag Day and the 34th Annual Pause for the Pledge of Allegiance at 7 p.m. (Eastern time).

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been together for five years. For the most part, we have a great relationship. The problem is, my husband is seven years older and had a few bad relationships before we got together. Because of this, he is always telling me I am a cheater and cannot be trusted. Annie, I haven’t done a single thing in my past or present to make him feel this way. It is a constant fight between us. I have suggested that maybe we should get counseling so we can work on this, but he hasn’t been willing. Is there anything else I can do to make this annoying part of our relationship go away? — Irritated Wife Dear Irritated: A person who constantly accuses the spouse of cheating when there is no cause is either cheating himself or too insecure to function in a healthy marriage. It is no way to live. First ask him to see his doctor and find out whether there is a medical reason for his behavior. Then stop “suggesting” and insist that your husband go

It might not be worth it, as many of you will be content just tidying up your desk and doing nothing more. Use your imagination in order to get others to share their ideas. Tonight: Happy close to home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Levity builds all day long. Handle what is serious or what cannot be put off any longer. Give up a need for control, and defer to others. An associate might be testy. A meeting could transform into a fun get-together. Relax -- don’t worry so much. Tonight: Paint the town red. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Stay centered and know your priorities. Your family will take up any additional time you have, even though you might prefer to deal with other matters. You might feel as though you are running around, putting out one fire after another. Tonight: Do only what you want. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Speak your mind, but use your ability to soften the words. Others will respond better as a result. Reach out to someone at a distance in order to get some feedback. You will gain a more complete perspective if you do. Tonight: Invite a friend or co-worker to join you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might be more concerned about security-related matters than you have been in a while. You also could discover some errors in your budgeting. Make an adjustment, then decide how to remedy the problem. Sometimes you refuse to see the obvious. Tonight: All smiles. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You hit one of your power days this month, and you finally will decide to deal with someone who is being difficult in your immediate environment. You might not get the response you desire, but at least you’ll have said your piece. Tonight: Whatever makes you happy.
DAY IN THE STARS
BIZARRO
Jacquelline Bigar King Features
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You might not be content with an unexpected change that could affect you financially. You can talk the issue out, but at this moment, you don’t see eye to eye with anyone. When you are working through a personal issue, you are conceptualizing. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Zero in on what is important. Know that you sometimes push others away with your reticence. Be willing to discuss a problem. Have a discussion with a new friend or loved one. You might not be speaking in clear enough terms. Tonight: Where your friends are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Others exhibit a type of friendliness in the morning that you never thought you would see again. Seize the moment. If you wait until later, you might not have the same interactions, as people will be seeing situations in a different light. Timing counts. Tonight: Among the crowds. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You seem capable of taking in a lot of changes. Information might be fluctuating, and new facts could continue to appear. A meeting could be uninspiring, as far as resources and ideas go. Your imagination proves to be an endless source of creativity. Tonight: Be around music. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Allow greater flow between you and others. You have many good ideas. A key loved one relishes his or her oneon-one time with you. You offer up resolutions that are hard to resist. These interactions add to the dimension of a personal relationship. Tonight: At a favorite place. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You could have much to add to a discussion, but someone who is very practical and perhaps set in his or her ways might not see the beauty of a concept. Though it might be hard to converse with this person, you will make the effort to do so. Tonight: Happiest with a loved one.

STRANGE QUAKES HAVE EVERYONE PUZZLED
Click and Clack Talk Cars By Tom and Ray Magliozzi
About three weeks ago, I was pulling into a parking space, and just before stopping I heard and felt what appeared to be a large impact. There was no one around and nothing to hit. I walked around
the car and looked under it, but I could see no problems. Today I was pulling into a parking space and heard and felt what appeared to be an impact from another car. There were no cars around, nor objects that I could have hit. I did a walk around, but I could find nothing wrong. Both times, my dogs were in the car, and both times they became agitated. I have tried to reproduce the effect, but could not. If it had happened once, I could ignore it, but twice suggests that it will happen again.
The next time, it could be at a higher speed. The first time, I was within a few feet from stopping, and I had just turned to the left. The second time, I was a few feet from stopping, and I was turning to the right. The only thing the two incidents had in common was that I was nearly stopped. My limited knowledge of cars leaves me puzzled. Can you help? -- Bob RAY: Our limited knowledge of cars often leaves us puzzled, too, Bob.
TOM: We should start by saying that we don’t know what’s wrong with your car. We’ll give you some ideas, but this is something that a mechanic is going to have to find for you using his eyes, ears, hands and tuchus. RAY: Whenever there are strange noises or, more importantly, shaking coming from the front end, there’s one thing we always check first:
RAY: Right. Because shaking and quaking from the front end can mean that an important piece of your front suspension or steering assembly is worn out, which means a wheel could fall off. You don’t tell us the age of your car, Bob. But obviously, as a car gets older, chances of this sort of catastrophic failure go up.

TOM: So, ask a mechanic you trust to take a thorough look at the front end. Make sure your ball joints, wheel bearings and control arms, etc., are all in good shape and still firmly attached to the car. RAY: If they are, my first guess would be that you have a front axle that’s binding up. That tends to happen when you make the sharpest turns -- like when parking. TOM: The next thing I’d look at would be your motor mounts. If you have a broken motor mount or two, your engine and transmission literally can jump around inside the engine compartment. And under certain circumstances, it could create jolting sensations as it jumps into or out of position. RAY: You also could have a brake that’s sticking. You’re obviously using the brakes when you park, and if one of the calipers gets stuck, it could jolt the car when it gets unstuck. TOM: The final thing to suspect would be the transmission. It could be something as simple as a rough downshift into first gear that you’re feeling. But it would have to be awfully rough to do what you describe. And I can’t explain why it would happen only when you’re parking. RAY: So those are the things to start with, Bob. Get the potentially deadly stuff checked out first, and then move on to the merely obscenely expensive stuff. Good luck!
