County commission still considering building proposal By SCOTT AUST

saust@gctelegram.com

Voters may get to decide next year whether to use sales tax to pay for a new building designed to locate four court-related services agencies near one another. On Monday, the Finney County Commission again discussed building options with Youth Services, Community Corrections, District Court-Court Services and the Juvenile Detention Center. The agencies proposed in April to build a new facility next to the JDC for Youth Services, Community Corrections and Court Services, but two weeks ago told the commission they were also considering buying or renting used buildings. The four agencies are located in offices across the community. Community Corrections and Youth Services lease office space at 601 N. Main St. and 2701 N. 11th St., and both leases, paid for by the Kansas Department of Corrections and Juvenile Justice Authority, respectively, are set to expire next summer. Court services is located at 405 N. Eighth St., and JDC is at 507 W.

Santa Fe St., both owned and maintained by the county. The goal of the building project is to eliminate areas of overlap, duplication or repetition of services. Randy Partington, county administrator, said little has changed since the last commission meeting. The commission needs to decide whether it wants to spend money on a new building, renovate an older building or do nothing and let the agencies continue their current lease arrangements. “The one thought you might want to give to the Commerce Bank building is whether that is the right location for people who are in corrections. It’s the most visible building in the downtown area,” Partington said. The Commerce Bank building on Main Street was one of the existing buildings discussed two weeks ago. It has adequate space, but would likely require some remodeling and renovation to make it ADA accessible. Agency directors indicated being under one roof will provide benefits such as sharing resources and improving efficiency. “If we’re all together in one location we can play off each other’s strengths. Then

we have less people going out into the community untreated … because we’re all right there,” Katrina Pollet, Juvenile Detention Center director, said. Pollet said being spread out means increased time for driving back and forth between locations, which is inefficient. By being located near each other, the agencies could share some programming and strengths and make the community safer, she said. Pollet feels strongly about building a new facility next to the JDC. “Having all the offenders in the county report to the Commerce Bank building, I just don’t think there’s going to be a lot of support for that,” she said. “I just think having (offenders) all in one location where we can work on a treatment program is very important for this community.” Jim Perkins, Youth Services director, said having everyone under the same roof provides a better chance for all the organizations to strategize in a climate of state budget cuts and limited resources. “Having the opportunity to sit down and bounce ideas off each other and plan is a real plus

to relocating down at the JDC. I realize there are budget concerns. The cost of building is not insubstantial, but I think the benefits in the long run point toward that as a longterm solution.” Initially, the groups estimated a new, 18,000-square-foot building might cost around $2 million. After an architectural study came back with a $4.36 million price tag, the agencies looked to scale back and came up with a 21,895-square-foot version for an estimated $3.57 million. Commissioners raised the possibility of a ballot issue next year asking the public to pay for the project using sales tax. Commissioner Dave Jones said he is supportive of the project’s concept, and would be willing to consider a funding option that uses revenue other than property taxes. Jones said instead of studying it to death, the commission should start moving toward a goal. “If the goal is to see if there’s a way to build a facility down by the Juvenile Detention facility … we need to start explorSee County, Page A5

Fire officials offer safety tips for Independence Day By ANGIE HAFLICH

ahaflich@gctelegram.com

With Independence Day festivities in full swing this week, the Garden City Fire Department and the state fire marshal are urging caution and offering tips for safe fireworks usage. The GCFD also conducted inspections of local fireworks stands on Monday. Garden City Fire Chief Allen Shelton said a common assumption people make is that sparklers are safe enough to give to

smaller children, but that it is not the case. “Fireworks are not toys. Sparklers burn at 1,200 degrees,” Shelton said. According to a press release from the State Fire Marshal’s office, the risk of fireworks injury was highest for children ages 5 to 14, with more than twice the risk for the general population. Sparklers and novelties alone accounted for 38 percent of the 8,600 emergency room fireworks injuries in 2010. Shelton said that the reason that people are being allowed to shoot fireworks off in

the city limits is because of the dryness present in outlying areas. “It’s dry right now, so that’s the reason we allow people to discharge in town since there’s green grass, concrete and water hoses readily available,” he said. GCFD firefighter Jacob Gonzales said that because fireworks are essentially explosives, there’s always a chance something can go wrong. “We’re all prepared on what to expect,” See Safety, Page A5

A big Medicaid gap looms in health care law WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly 2 in 3 uninsured lowincome people who would qualify for subsidized coverage under President Barack Obama’s health care law may be out of luck next year because their states have not expanded Medicaid. An Associated Press analysis of figures from the Urban Institute finds a big coverage gap developing, with 9.7 million out of 15 million potentially eligible adults living in states that are refusing the expansion or are still undecided with time running short. That a majority of the neediest people who could be helped by the law may instead remain uninsured is a predicament unforeseen by Obama and congressional Democrats who

designed a sweeping extension of the social safety net. The law’s historic promise of health insurance for nearly all U.S. residents would not be fulfilled as envisioned. It’s the direct consequence of last summer’s Supreme Court decision that gave states the right to opt out of the Medicaid expansion, combined with unyielding resistance to the law from many Republican state lawmakers. Expanding Medicaid is essential to Obama’s two-part strategy for covering the uninsured. Starting next year, middleclass people without job-based coverage will be able to get tax credits to help them buy private insurance. But the law calls for low-income people to

enroll in Medicaid, expanded to accommodate a largely excluded group: adults with no children at home. Expanded Medicaid would cover about half the 25 million to 30 million people who could be helped by the law. Twenty-three states and the District of Columbia have decided to accept the expansion, which is fully financed by Washington for the first three years and phases down gradually to a 90 percent federal share. Among those are six states led by Republican governors. But the majority of low-income Americans newly eligible for Medicaid under the law live in states such as Texas, Florida and Georgia, where political opposition remains formidable.

A Holcomb City Council member was arrested Thursday on an allegation of theft. Richard Scott Homer, Holcomb, was arrested in Dodge City Thursday by the Ford County Sheriff’s Office on an allegation of felony theft. According to Ford County Sheriff Dean Bush, the FCSO arrested Homer at approximately 11:30 p.m. on a Dodge City Police Department warrant. DCPD Chief Craig Mellecker said the DCPD conducted an investigation involving Homer and Nebraska Irrigation, 1000 S. Second Ave., Dodge City, but Mellecker referred all other questions to the Ford County Attorney’s Office. According to Assistant Ford County Attorney Kevin Salzman, Homer is being charged on one count of theft. “He’s charged with one count in the alternative, so there is one count, but two alternatives,” Salzman said. The first alternative is theft of property or services greater than $25,000, a severity level seven, non-person felony. The other alternative is theft by deception of property or services greater than $25,000, also a severity level seven, non-person felony. Homer was lodged in the Ford County Jail on Thursday, but has since bonded out. Salzman said no hearing has been set at this time. Homer was elected to the Holcomb City Council in April after receiving 12 write-in votes. Holcomb Mayor Gary Newman said that because the allegation against Homer is in no way connected to the city of Holcomb, it is a personal matter. “In my eyes, nothing was done against the city, so he’ll continue to serve in his seat as his case works its way through the judicial system,” Newman said.

Kansas high court to hear death penalty case TOPEKA (AP) — The Kansas Supreme Court will hear arguments in the capital murder cases of two men on death row. The high court said Monday that the justices will hear oral arguments Dec. 17 in the cases of brothers Jonathan Carr and Reginald Carr, who were sentenced to death in December 2002 after they kidnapped five people from a Wichita home in 2000 and fatally shot four of them. A fifth person also was shot but survived. The Carrs also were convicted of murder in the death of a woman shot four days before the soccer field slayings. The state Supreme Court overturned the state’s death penalty law in 2004. That ruling was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which upheld Kansas’ capital punishment statute and returned the Carrs to death row.

Death of 19 firefighters in wildfire largest in 80 years PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) — With no way out, the 19 elite firefighters did what they were trained to do when trapped by a wildfire: They unfurled their foil-lined, heat-resistant tarps and rushed to cover themselves on the ground. But that last, desperate line of defense couldn’t save the “Hotshot” crew from the flames that swept over them. All 19 men died, marking the nation’s biggest loss of firefighters in a wildfire in 80 years. The tragedy Sunday evening all but wiped out the 20-member Granite Mountain Hotshots, a unit based at Prescott, authorities said Monday as the last of the bodies were retrieved from the mountain in the town of Yarnell. Only one member survived, and that was because he was moving the unit’s truck at the time. The deaths plunged the two small towns into mourning as the wildfire continued to threaten one of them, Yarnell. Arizona’s governor called it “as dark a day as I can remember” and ordered

on TV as flames lit up the night sky in the forest above the town. It was unclear exactly how the firefighters became trapped, and state officials were investigating. Brewer said the blaze “exploded into a firestorm” that overran the crew. Prescott City Councilman Len Scamardo said the wind changed directions and brought 40 mph to 50 mph gusts that caused the firefighters to become trapped around 3 p.m. Sunday. The blaze grew from 200 acres to about 2,000 in a matter of hours. Southwest incident team leader Clay Templin said the crew and its commanders were following safety protocols, and it appears the fire’s erratic nature simply overwhelmed them. The Hotshot team had spent recent weeks fighting fires in New Mexico and Prescott before being called to Yarnell, entering the smoky wilderness over the weekend with backpacks, chainsaws and other heavy gear to remove brush and trees as a heat wave across the Southwest sent temperatures into the triple digits.

About 200 more firefighters joined the battle Monday, bringing the total to 400. Among them were several other Hotshot teams, elite groups of firefighters sent in from around the country to battle the nation’s fiercest wildfires.

Roundup Briefs Annual horseshoe tournament slated The annual Cecil Baker Memorial Horseshoe Tournament starts at 10 a.m. Thursday at the horseshoe courts south of the swimming pool at Finnup Park. The event attracts horseshoe pitchers from as young as 8 to 92 years old from Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Nebraska and other states. The tournament is managed by Warren and Jean Schwab. Warren Schwab is a horseshoe pitcher himself. The game of horseshoes originated in Kansas, and the “Babe Ruth” of horseshoe pitching, alltime world champion Ted Allen, pitched his first tournament on July 4th in Garden City. The tournament was started by Cecil Baker, a former teacher, principal, coach, businessman, longtime sports referee, and active horseshoe pitcher, who moved from Sublette to Garden City in 1949, and named it the Annual July 4th Horseshoe Tournament. For almost 50 years, The Garden City Telegram promoted and sponsored the horseshoe tournament as a free event and presented trophies. Baker died in 1966 and The Telegram renamed the tournament to honor him. It has been called the Annual Cecil Baker Memorial Horseshoe Tournament ever since. Warren and Jean Schwab mail out invitations, obtain a tent, and provide equipment, time, and effort. Warren obtains cold refreshments and prizes through numerous businesses. Prizes are awarded in a special drawing for all participants at the end of the tournament. The Baker family donates framed certificates and the entire entry fee goes back to the winners, along with the certificates.

Three regents cleared to serve despite questions TOPEKA (AP) — A Republicandominated Kansas Senate committee Monday approved Gov. Sam Brownback’s three new appointees to the board that oversees the state’s higher education system, but a Democratic leader questioned whether one appointment was proper. Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, attacked Brownback’s appointment of Dodge City attorney Shane Bangerter to the state Board of Regents. Bangerter had been registered to vote as a Republican — and once served as treasurer for Ford County’s Republican Party — but switched to unaffiliated in February. State law says no more than five of the nine regents can be from the same political party, and five other members, including another new Brownback appointee, are Republicans. Hensley accused Bangerter of changing his political affiliation so that he could serve on the board and said Brownback should be held

responsible for “a sham of a process.” “I don’t understand what it is, that this governor must think that he doesn’t have to play by the rules,” Hensley said. “In my opinion, the law has been circumvented in this case.” Bangerter said he became less active in the Republican Party and changed his party affiliation because he views himself as an independent. Bangerter, who sits on Dodge City Community College’s Board of Trustees, told Hensley on Monday: “If you sat down and talked with me, I think you would agree that I should be an independent.” He said no one in the governor’s office suggested he change his affiliation or even approached him about the regents’ position. The appointments were announced last week. Hensley is the only Democrat on the six-member Senate Confir mation Oversight

Committee, which voted 5-1 to approve Bangerter’s appointment. The committee also approved the appointments of Helen Van Etten, a Republican from Topeka, and Ann Murguia, a Democrat from Kansas City, Kan. The three new regents will serve until the full Senate can consider their appointments during the Legislature’s 2014 session. Brownback’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Senate Vice President Jeff King, an Independence Republican and a committee member, said he was “embarrassed” by Hensley’s attack. And Sen. Pat Apple, a Louisburg Republican, said: “It seems that we’re entering election season a little bit early.” King noted that in 2006, Mark Parkinson, a former state GOP chairman, switched parties to run as then-Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius’ choice for lieutenant governor. Sebelius announced Parkinson’s appointment to her ticket the day after his switch.

Parkinson served out Sebelius’ term when she resigned in 2009 to become U.S. health and human services secretary. Hensley also voted against Van Etten’s appointment after questioning her about cuts enacted by lawmakers this year in higher education funding. She said higher education must remain a priority, but she also praised efforts by Brownback and Republican legislators to reduce personal income taxes over the past two years — something Hensley has strongly opposed. Van Etten is the chief audiologist for the Topeka school district, and she serves on the Republican National Committee. The committee unanimously approved Murguia’s appointment. She is the executive director of a neighborhood redevelopment association. She serves on the commission for the Unified Government of Kansas City, Kan., and Wyandotte County and ran unsuccessfully for Unified Government mayor this year.

Survey: Midwest, Plains Federal suit over Kansas economy remains strong abortion law on fast track OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The economy remains strong in nine Midwest and Plains states, but a monthly survey of business leaders released Monday suggests the growth rate may slow in the months ahead. The overall index for the region declined to 55.6 in June from 56.2 in May, but any score above 50 suggests growth. Creighton University economist Ernie Goss said business leaders expect slower growth in the next few months. Modest job growth is also expected as the hiring index dropped to 53.7 in June from May’s 59.3. “Increasing interest rates and a strengthening U.S. dollar have, and will continue to have, negative but modest impacts for businesses in the region, particularly those tied to agriculture. Even so, the regional job growth will remain positive but sluggish,” Goss said. The survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota. The survey of business leaders and supply managers uses a collection of indexes ranging from zero to 100.

Survey organizers say any score above 50 suggests growth while a score below that suggests decline. The prices-paid index, which tracks the cost of raw materials and supplies, declined for the fourth-straight month to 58.4 in June. That’s down from 61.2 in May. “Not only is wholesale inflation tame, it is headed lower,” Goss said. But business leaders are less confident in the economy because of the recent rise in interest rates. The confidence index dropped to 51.1 in June from May’s 59.4. The June inventory index declined to 51.6 from May’s 56.2. That suggests that businesses are being more cautious about accumulating inventory. The export index dipped to 52.9 in June from May’s 55.9. The import index also declined to 52.9 in June from May’s 53.5. The other components of June’s overall index were: • New orders increased to 57 from May’s 54.8. • Production or sales grew to 60.3 in June, up from 57.3. • Delivery lead time increased to 55.4 in June from May’s 53.6.

TOPEKA (AP) — The chief federal judge for Kansas on Monday set what she called an aggressive schedule for a lawsuit by Planned Parenthood against parts of a new state abortion law dealing with providers’ websites and what information they must provide to patients before terminating pregnancies. Judge Kathryn Vratil outlined the schedule as most of the law took effect. The schedule would allow a hearing on the merits of Planned Parenthood’s legal challenge to begin July 29 in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan. Vratil ordered Planned Parenthood to file written legal arguments by July 16 and set a July 19 deadline for the state’s response. Planned Parenthood would then have until July 22 to file an additional reply. “The Court sets this aggressive briefing schedule to accommodate the parties’ request to expedite a ruling on the merits,” Vratil wrote. Vratil refused Sunday to prevent state officials from enforcing the provisions of the law being challenged by Planned Parenthood, which performs abortions at an Overland Park

clinic. Planned Parenthood officials have yet to comment publicly on Vratil’s decision, despite requests for comment Monday. However, in a separate statecourt lawsuit by two doctors, a judge in Shawnee County temporarily blocked one of the requirements. It mandates that providers have a link on their websites to a state health department site on abortion and fetal development with a statement that the department’s information is objective and accurate. Providers dispute information on the state’s site. They object to material suggesting a fetus can feel pain by the 20th week of pregnancy, when the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said as recently as last month that there’s no evidence of it. Planned Parenthood also is challenging another provision that patients waiting for an abortion receive information with the same statements about a fetus’ ability to feel pain, as well as a statement that abortion ends the life of a “whole, separate, unique, living human being.” Providers contend the provisions violate their free-speech rights.

Boundaries are needed for marriage

Our View

Dusty days Variety of irritants combine when seasonal allergies hit.

West was trying to enjoin. After much criticism, West sort of apologized for his lapse in judgment. He was sorry if anyone was offended, but he still thought it was funny. Humor has a role in public life, obviously, and comedians make valuable contributions to our understanding by casting a light on our hypocrisies and self-righteousness. Nothing quite delivers a memento mori like a wellplaced barb. But that barb best be sharp, and it better be well-placed. West’s joke fell flat because it was neither. Some variation of the knock-knock joke seems to be as old as recorded humor, but it is humor in amoebic form — single-celled and juvenile. West’s joke didn’t even do what a knock-knock joke is supposed to do, which is to make a pun. Not punny? Not knockknock. The only imaginable use for humor in a murder trial — and this is a stretch — would be spontaneous and self-deprecating, which rarely goes wrong. Insulting one’s potential allies, on the other hand, is an unforced error of conceivably catastrophic consequence. It’s bad enough to be the butt of a joke, but a joke that’s not funny? The poor jurors in Zimmerman’s trial were told more or less that they’re so uninformed that they just might be stupid enough to buy the rest of his defense. Let’s hope West has better material in his briefcase or Zimmerman, should he be convicted, may have unique grounds for appeal: His lawyer couldn’t tell a joke.

or this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.” — Genesis 2:24, NIV The problem for people who believe in an Authority higher even than the Constitution is that in our increasingly secular and indifferent society it has become more difficult to persuade those who do not subscribe to an immutable standard to accept that view. It is nearly impossible to restrain a people intent on throwing off any and all restraints. History is full of examples of empires that collapsed from within before they were conquered from without. The Supreme Court has narrowly, but effectively, removed another standard on the way to full acceptance of its right to redefine marriage and raise itself to a level higher than the Creator. What or who is to stop them? Various religious-political groups formed over many years to confront cultural erosion are in retreat and increasingly ineffective. Modern courts might have trouble with Thomas Jefferson’s declaration, “We hold these truths to be self-evident.” Is there anything that is self-evident today and not subject to challenge given the right circumstances? Even a secular person should be required to answer a question before removing such an important cultural underpinning as traditional marriage: If marriage is no longer to be reserved for one man and one woman, as it has for millennia in many different cultures and religions, what is the new standard and on what is it based? Should we change America’s motto to “in polls we trust”? The New York Times recently editorialized in favor of transgender rights. Polygamist groups have made it known they wish to be next in line to enjoy full constitutional protection for their lifestyle. Utah was forced to outlaw polygamy before admission to the Union. Can it, should it, revert to its previous practice and who has the authority to say “no”? There are people who favor sex and marriage between adults and children. On what basis should they be denied their “right to happiness”? Today’s “that goes too far” easily becomes tomorrow’s “right” with a morally vacuous media leading the charge and a morally exhausted people who are afraid to say “stop,” for fear they’ll be labeled “bigots.” Boundaries serve a purpose, in sport and in life. Fences keep out trespassers and protect children on playgrounds. Governments impose speed limits. Lines define a football field. The problem faced by moral-political forces — from Prohibition, to abortion and now same-sex marriage — is that they are confronted by growing numbers of people who do not believe in, or can be persuaded by, ancient, even biblical, instruction constraining human behavior. Many young people whose parents are divorced, or who are cohabiting without marriage, are not influenced by such commands or “preaching.” While the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision overturning the Defense of Marriage Act does not establish a constitutional right to same-sex marriage, that’s where it seems headed. Justice Antonin Scalia predicted it would a decade ago when the Supreme Court invalidated laws prohibiting homosexual conduct in Lawrence vs. Texas. One doesn’t have to approve of the Court’s “reasoning” in order to hand it to the gay rights campaigners. They have done a magnificent job advancing their objectives, but they couldn’t have done it alone. A verse from the Old Testament warns about the detrimental effects such “advances” can have on individuals and nations that abandon moral boundaries: “In those days Israel had no king; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” — Judges 17:6, NIV

llergy sufferers have different issues to deal with almost every year. This time around, a later-than-usual allergy season has plagued people throughout Kansas. Allergists with the University of Kansas Hospital recently said a late winter delayed the full growth of trees, plants Should area communities do more to encourage and grass, people to plant trees? Add which led to your comments at the end a later peak of the online version of this in the annual editorial at GCTelegram. allergy seacom/opinion. son. On Monday, the local allergy forecast at AccuWeather.com did indeed call for “extreme” conditions for the rest of the week in Garden City, with extremely high indoor dust and dander levels. Combine grass, weed, tree and mold pollen with the strong wind and dryness that practically turn the outdoors into a dust storm, and it’s no wonder more people are miserable with sniffling, sneezing, itchy eyes and other annoying symptoms. It’s such a problem that health experts say many people who believe they’re suffering from a cold or the flu may instead be experiencing the pain of allergies. The allergists at KU noted that the level of sneezing and other symptoms often depends on whether someone lives in the city or country. They also said people who already suffer from a chronic illness, such as a breathing or heart disease, should take the most precautions when it comes to allergies. It’s important for them to consult with a physician to ensure that allergies are properly addressed. Actions to control dust and dander in homes are recommended for all. Studies show an average six-room home in the United States collects 40 pounds of dust each year. As for trees, the pollen they generate is more difficult to avoid. While it would be easy to single out and blame trees, it’s also necessary to remember their value. A place like Garden City has anything but an overabundance of trees. The city has a good rebate program to encourage local residents to plant trees. Beyond their natural beauty, trees also improve air quality by absorbing pollutants and giving off oxygen. Even with pollen outbreaks, communities are better off with more trees. Dust, however, would be another story in a region with cause to be sick of its fallout.

Today’s quotes “Good news GC!” — Online remark selected by the editorial staff from comments at GCTelegram.com in response to a story on local plans for a new hotel/water park/restaurant development in Garden City featuring an Old Chicago Pizza and Taproom restaurant.

“Having the opportunity to sit down and bounce ideas off each other and plan is a real plus to relocating down at the JDC. I realize there are budget concerns. The cost of building is not insubstantial, but I think the benefits in the long run point toward that as a longterm solution.” — Youth Services Director Jim Perkins, in a story in today’s edition about the Finney County Commission revisiting proposals to build a new building to house four county court-related agencies under one roof.

Discriminatory problems in voting By MARY SANCHEZ

ime for everyone to step away from their respective ledges. A few days have passed since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on one of the most effective pieces of civil rights legislation ever passed, the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Some of the kneejerk liberal oratory, the gnashing of teeth, is completely out of step with reality. The court’s decision does not signal a slippage to Jim Crow antics like poll taxes and hatred so violent that merely registering a black person to vote could lead to murder. Likewise, conservatives would do well to cease gloating about the landmark ruling that nullified an important part of the act. After all, it’s not like the court found that the nine states and portions of six others receiving extra scrutiny have become bastions of free and equal treatment for all voters. In fact, records compiled for Congress the last time it renewed the Voting Rights Act in 2006 reflect many examples of disparate impacts for voters in recent years. Clearly, a black man in the White House does not mean the nation has eradicated discriminatory problems in voting, intentional or not. The problem now is Congress. Congress needs to rewrite the guidelines nullified by the ruling to consider new situations across the United States. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts tried to nudge toward that goal in the ruling.

Dramatic demographic shifts necessitate it. New populations of voters not fully considered in 1965 such as Hispanics, Asians and increasing numbers of less mobile elderly are bringing new challenges to ensuring access to the polls. The Court’s 5-4 ruling in Shelby vs. Holder made irrelevant a portion of the law initially intended to halt the horrific abuses of the civil rights era. Alabama’s Shelby County challenged a section of the Voting Rights Act that mandated so-called pre-clearance standards. Most of the states and some of jurisdictions covered are in the South. Under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, they must first receive the federal government’s permission before redrawing legislative maps, shifting polling places or enacting new rules on voter identification. These jurisdictions must prove to the Justice Department or a panel of federal judges that planned changes will not have a discriminatory effect. Problem was, the areas were chosen by past abuses. Too far in the past, the court decided, nullifying the formula used to determine who is covered. The court wants Congress to readdress the formula, using more current voting patterns. Congress failed to do that the last time the Voting Rights Act was renewed.

The Justice Department can and will still pursue abuses. They’ll be busy. Accessibility to the ballot box is under assault in America. Legislatures nationwide are passing changes to voting laws, often under the guise of stopping voter fraud. Repeatedly, politicians pushing for the measures cannot prove fraud exists. Often, they are mislabeling database errors as fraud. Problems like two people with the same name, inaccurate data entry of addresses or birthdays. The glitches need to be eliminated; new technology can be employed. But the goal should always be to increase access eligible voters, not making reaching the ballot box unnecessarily more difficult — and often placing that burden on older, poorer and minority voters. Here is the thing. Areas affected by pre-clearance standards could have been exempted from scrutiny years ago. All they needed to do was keep a clean slate, not have any violations for 10 consecutive years. This process, called “bailout,” is included in the act. But problems continued. Most of the jurisdictions never met that mark. No, they had to wait until a conservative-leaning court cut them some slack. And now an ineffective Congress will make it that much more difficult to flag modern-era abuses. Mary Sanchez is an opinion-page columnist for The Kansas City Star. Email her at msanchez@kcstar.com.

Nothing humorous about trial W

hen it comes to knockknock jokes, it helps to be 5 years old: You can slap your head, roll your eyes and run outside and play. In a courtroom where the defendant is charged with second-degree murder, a knock-knock joke has all the appeal of a bar of soap on the shower floor. It is difficult to imagine how Don West, defense attorney in the trial of George Zimmerman, the man accused of killing 17-yearold Trayvon Martin, worked through the thought process that led him to slap his own forehead and say to himself: “Yes! A knock-knock joke is just the way to begin my argument. No, wait, wait! Even better, ridicule the people who will decide the fate of my client! ‘Colbert Report,’ here I come!” Thus, when Zimmerman’s trial began — in a courtroom where the parents of the victim were present — he offered a little joke: “Knock-knock. Who’s there? George Zimmerman. George Zimmerman who? All right. Good. You’re on the jury.” No one cued the laugh track. Lightning is funnier. West’s opening-day thud may have seemed amusing over coffee in his own kitchen, but even he knew it was inappropriate. We know because he said so in a lengthy, disclaiming preamble that would have killed even a funny joke. Before launching into The Joke, he warned jurors that they might not think it’s funny under the circumstances. He even asked forgiveness in advance just in case they found the joke inappropriate (his word) and to hold it against him, not his client. At this point in a comedy

club, never mind a courtroom, anyone listening would be squirming in vicarious embarrassment for what was to come and was surely going to be a very bad/unfunny/ inappropriate joke. Why tell it? Because everyone is a comedian these days. Or at least everyone wants to be. Comedy, rather than providing relief from our too-serious times, has become the currency of choice. Indeed, as more and more people turn to Comedy Central for news, comedians have become among the most influential arbiters of current events. Not, as funnyman Dave Barry would say, that there’s anything wrong with that. Ever since Jon Stewart told CNN’s “Crossfire” hosts in 2004 that their left-right political slugfest was bad for America (and then-CNN president Jon Klein soon after killed the show), the power of the comedian has surged past the serious commentators. Who wants to be the straight man when the funny guys get all the girls? Not that comedy isn’t commentary. But time and place are as important as the punch line. When a comedian is funny, we never forget that he is primarily a comedian. When a defense attorney plays a comedian at a murder trial, our sense of verisimilitude is thrown off-kilter. Wrong character, wrong scene, wrong everything — especially the audience, which, again, included the victim’s parents, and the people whose sympathies

Safety: Fire officials urge caution with fireworks Continued from Page A1

Gonzales said. On the fourth, the GCFD will have staffed fire trucks stationed in different parts of town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We used to just stay at the station. Now we divide it up by district so there are trucks on east (U.S. Highway) 50, trucks on west (U.S. Highway) 50. We figure faster is better. â&#x20AC;Ś We stay in the trucks (ready for calls). It seemed to work pretty good last year,â&#x20AC;? Garden City firefighter John Irsik said, adding that there were only a few very minor incidents last year. Irsik, Gonzales and other GCFD firefighters conducted inspections of local fireworks stands on Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are checking their permits, making sure

everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to code, making sure they have all the proper permits to be able to sell the fireworks, (and) to make sure they have fire extinguishers on scene,â&#x20AC;? Gonzales said. They were also inspecting stands to make sure they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t selling certain types of illegal fireworks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not allowed to have bottle rockets, no homemade fireworks at all,â&#x20AC;? Gonzales said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Other than that, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re allowing aerials again this year.â&#x20AC;? When asked if aerials pose concern to firefighters, Irsik said only if they are misused. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done right, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother us. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see anybody hurt or somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house burned down due to the fact that somebody was misusing them,â&#x20AC;? he said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main thing is stay safe and use them how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to be used and I think everybody will be fine. And then maybe we can get them next year again.â&#x20AC;? Ten-year-old Tony Cruz purchased a bag full of fireworks Monday afternoon and said he does a number of things to stay safe when shooting them off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tell my mom to come outside to see me and I set them in the middle of the street and then I light them up and then I run for safety,â&#x20AC;? Cruz said. One of several tips offered by Shelton and the State Fire Marshal is to follow the instructions affixed to fireworks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when people misuse fireworks that we run into trouble,â&#x20AC;? Shelton said.

Fireworks safety tips The State Fire Marshal offers additional tips for safe fireworks activities: â&#x20AC;˘ Always purchase high quality fireworks from a reliable, legitimate source. â&#x20AC;˘ Alcohol and fireworks do not mix. Have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;designated shooter.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Never give fireworks to small children. â&#x20AC;˘ Adults should always supervise use of fireworks by older children. â&#x20AC;˘ Always wear eye protection when lighting fireworks. â&#x20AC;˘ Never ignite fireworks indoors. Make sure your outdoor area is safe for fireworks use. â&#x20AC;˘ Never point or throw fireworks at a person, building, or animal. â&#x20AC;˘ Have a source of water handy, in case of fire. â&#x20AC;˘ Never shoot fireworks in metal or glass containers. â&#x20AC;˘ Light only one firework at a time. â&#x20AC;˘ Never attempt to re-light malfunctioning fireworks. â&#x20AC;˘ When lighting fireworks, never position any part of your body over them. â&#x20AC;˘ Never carry fireworks in your pocket. â&#x20AC;˘ Store fireworks in a cool, dry place. â&#x20AC;˘ Never experiment with homemade fireworks. They are dangerous and illegal. â&#x20AC;˘ Bottle rockets and other skyrockets that are mounted on a stick or wire are illegal. â&#x20AC;˘ It is illegal to shoot fireworks on or under a vehicle, on any public roadway, within 50 feet of a firework stand or where fireworks are stored, and gas stations or any place liquid gas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including propane â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is stored.

County: New building still an option Continued from Page A1

ing that before very long,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to buy something, we need to have that discussion. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty reluctant to be buying old buildings, myself, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m real reluctant to buy high-priced bank buildings. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d err on the side of trying to build something new, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotta make it affordable.â&#x20AC;? Partington said he will work with the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bond counsel on preparing a resolution for the county commission to consider next year that would put the issue on the ballot. The next scheduled election in the county is an August 2014 primary.

USDA reminds pesticide users to follow precautions, directions By BARBARA ADDISON and LEHISA DE FORNOZA

ith agricultural production in full swing all across the country, USDA requests your assistance through outreach and education to remind all users of pesticides of the importance of following the label. This helps to ensure good pest management while protecting wildlife, their habitat and the environment. Use of any pesticide in any way that is not consistent with label directions and precautions is illegal. It may also be ineffective and dangerous. Farmers, gardeners and the homeowners community need to know: â&#x20AC;˘ Choose the form of pesticide best suited to your target site and the pest you want to control: First, identify the problem correctly and then choose the least toxic pesticide that will achieve the results you want and be the least toxic to you and the environment. When the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;broadspectrumâ&#x20AC;? appear on the label, this means the product is effective against a broad range of pests. If the label says â&#x20AC;&#x153;selective,â&#x20AC;? the product is effective against one or a few pests. â&#x20AC;˘ Read the label before buying the pesticide, read the label before mixing or using the pesticide each time and read the label before storing or disposing of the pesticide. â&#x20AC;˘ Determining the right amount to purchase and use: do not assume that using more pesticide than the label recommends will do a better job. It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. â&#x20AC;˘ Find the signal word â&#x20AC;&#x201D; either Danger, Warning or Caution â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on the pesticide label. The signal word tells you how poisonous the product is to humans. â&#x20AC;˘ Choose the form of pesticide (aerosol, dust, bait or other) best suited to your target site and the pest you want to control. Certain formulations work better for some pests and/or some target areas than others. Using the product safely and correctly: â&#x20AC;˘ Never apply pesticides outdoors on a windy day (winds higher than 10 mph). â&#x20AC;˘ Wear protective clothing, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smoke or eat. â&#x20AC;˘ Mix and apply only the amount you need. â&#x20AC;˘ Watch for negative effects on wildlife (birds, butterflies and bees) in and near treated areas. If you see any unusual behavior, stop using that pesticide, and contact EPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pesticide

Incident Response Officer. â&#x20AC;˘ Store and dispose of pesticides properly. â&#x20AC;˘ Follow all storage instructions on the pesticide label. â&#x20AC;˘ Always store pesticides in their original containers, complete with labels that list ingredients, directions for use and first aid steps in case of accidental poisoning. State and local laws regarding pesticide disposal may be stricter than the federal requirements on the label. Be sure to check with your state or local solid waste agency before disposing of your pesticide containers. (Prepared by Sarah Zukoff, assistant professor/ Extension entomology)

Food safety tips for holiday and family picnics The incidence of foodborne illness tends to increase during the summer months because of warm temperatures and more outdoor activities. Picnics, camping, grilling and more are highlights during this active season. Foodborne bacteria can multiply rapidly in summer temperatures. Protect yourself from foodborne illness with these tips. â&#x20AC;˘ When shopping, buy cold food like meat and poultry last, right before checkout. Separate raw meat and poultry from other food in your shopping cart. To guard against cross-contamination â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which can happen when raw meat or poultry juices drip on other food â&#x20AC;&#x201D; put packages of raw meat and poultry into plastic bags. â&#x20AC;˘ Plan to drive directly home from the grocery store. You may want to take a cooler with ice for perishables. Always refrigerate perishable food within two hours. Refrigerate within one hour when the temperature is above 90 degrees F. â&#x20AC;˘ At home, place meat and poultry in the refrigerator immediately. Freeze poultry and ground meat that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be used in one or two days; freeze other meat within four to five days. â&#x20AC;˘ Completely thaw meat and poultry before grilling so it cooks more evenly. Use the refrigerator for slow, safe thawing or thaw sealed packages in cold water. For quicker thawing, you can microwave defrost if the food will be placed immediately on the grill. â&#x20AC;˘ When carrying food to another location, keep it cold to minimize bacterial growth. Use an insulated cooler with sufficient ice or ice packs to keep the food

at 40 degrees F or below. Pack food right from the refrigerator into the cooler immediately before leaving home. â&#x20AC;˘ Keep meat and poultry refrigerated until ready to use. Only take out the meat and poultry that will immediately be placed on the grill. â&#x20AC;˘ A full cooler will maintain its cold temperatures longer than one that is partially filled, so it is important to pack plenty of extra ice or freezer packs to ensure a constant cold temperature. Keep the cooler out of direct sun. Keep drinks in a separate cooler from foods. The beverage cooler will be opened frequently while the food cooler stays cold. â&#x20AC;˘ Be sure there are plenty of clean utensils and platters. To prevent foodborne illness, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use the same platter and utensils for raw and cooked meat and poultry. Harmful bacteria present in raw meat and poultry and their juices can contaminate safely cooked food. â&#x20AC;˘ If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eating away from home, find out if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a source of clean water. If not, bring water for preparation and cleaning. Or pack clean cloths and disinfecting wipes for cleaning surfaces and hands. â&#x20AC;˘ Always wash your hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds before and after handling food. â&#x20AC;˘ When grilling foods, preheat the coals on your grill for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the coals are lightly coated with ash. â&#x20AC;˘ Use a food thermometer to ensure that food reaches a safe internal temperature. For temperatures of meat, please refer to the USDA specifications or call the Finney County Extension Office. â&#x20AC;˘ Large cuts of beef such as roasts and steaks may be cooked to 145 degrees F for medium rare or to 160 degrees F for medium. Poultry must reach a temperature of 165 degrees F. Fish should be opaque and flake easily. â&#x20AC;˘ When taking foods off the grill, do not put cooked food items back on the same plate that held raw food, unless it has been washed with hot water and soap first. And in hot weather (above 90 degrees F), foods should never sit out for more than one hour before going in the refrig-

PETS OF THE WEEK Clancy

is a small neutered male dog, about the size of a beagle. He is very friendly, loves people, especially kids. He is okay with cats, and fine with other dogs once he gets used to them, but it takes him a day or two. Once he is used to new dogs, he is fine and enjoys playing with them. Clancy walks well on a leash and is not a barker. He kennels at night and sleeps quietly through the night. He also has good house manners and is enjoying spending these hot days in the air-conditioned comfort of his foster home. Ask at the shelter how to meet Clancy.

erator. â&#x20AC;˘ Refrigerate any leftovers promptly in shallow containers. Discard any food left out more than two hours (one hour if temperatures are above 90 degrees F). â&#x20AC;˘ In summer heat, asking for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;doggie bagâ&#x20AC;? or box to carry home the remainder of a restaurant meal can invite foodborne illness. If immediately going a short distance home, food likely will remain safe enough. Picnics and barbecues with family and friends

are part of summer fun. Make sure they stay fun by remembering that foodborne bacteria can multiply rapidly in summer temperatures. (Source: Kansas State Research & Extension)

Space and Time Are Running Out! These animals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the shelter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; need your help.

Adopt a pet today! 620-276-1152

Leo

is a neutered male Staffordshire Terrier mix. Leo has been in a foster home with other dogs, and does okay with dogs his size upon property introduction. He plays a little to roughly with small dogs however. And he too, is a little too interested in cats so should not be unsupervised around cats. Due to his breed, Leo will only be adopted to a home that meets the requirements for keeping a dog of his breed within the city limits. This includes a kennel with a top and bottom attached so that he cannot dig out or go over the top. Leo is a climber, so a 6â&#x20AC;&#x2122; wooden privacy fence would also be advisable in addition to the kennel. Leo is a lover and deserves a wonderful home. His time is running very short. He is at the shelter, so please check him out very soon.

Many other animals are available for adoption at the

Animal Shelter at 124 Fleming â&#x20AC;˘ Tues.-Sat. 12-6pm

Bowser

is a neutered male American Bulldog. He is an excellent dog. Great on a leash, perfect with most other dogs, but pretty intensely interested in cats. He should probably not be around cats unsupervised. A perfect home for Bowser would be a home with a large fenced yard, or with someone willing to take him on long walks/runs for exercise. He should be a house dog as he would rather be a part of the family than a yard ornament or tied to a stake in the heat/cold. He is very people friendly and an amiable guy who meets new people well and loves everyone. He is currently in a foster home. Call the shelter to find out how to meet Bowser.

TUESDAY July 2, 2013 HAPPY BIRTHDAY The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Be careful with any type of spending, even if it is something as basic as doing someone else’s budget. The wise Ram will make no commitments right now. Focus on a recent assessment you’ve made, and figure out what you need to get rid of. Tonight: A must appearance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You have the skill set to manage many different interests, but you might feel overwhelmed. You’ll want to manage a situation differently and move forward with a project. Prioritizing will help diminish your to-do list more efficiently. Tonight: Happiest at home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Listen to what someone wants to share; help this person form a game plan to get there. You suddenly might discover that there is a change in how you proceed. Your sense of humor will emerge regarding a discussion involving money. Tonight: Fun doesn’t have to cost anything. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You know which way to go and why you are heading in that direction. You can explain only so much to others; otherwise, you might miss the opportunity. Timing is critical right now. A sense of humor goes far when dealing with a problem. Tonight: What would make you happy? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Know how to say “no.” Your wittiness might be best kept to yourself for the time being. Make a point of saying “hello” more often to that acquaintance who makes a difference in your life. Understand what must happen in order to get a project off the ground. Tonight: Out late. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Keep reaching out to someone whose opinion you trust. You need to get feedback, but it needs to come from someone who is not involved in the outcome. Be willing to put out ideas that you typically would judge as not workable. Tonight: Let your imagination lead the way.

DAY IN THE STARS

BIZARRO

Jacquelline Bigar King Features

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Examine what you want and expect from a family member. This person often becomes very innovative when dealing with you. Maintain a good attitude, but find a different approach. One-on-one relating is not that easy for this person. Tonight: Have a long chat with a friend. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Someone seems to command more attention and decides to take the lead in a situation. Generally, center stage is your turf. How you handle this reversal will be telling of who you are. You can’t control others, so stop any manipulative thoughts. Tonight: Go with a suggestion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Not everyone is as determined or focused as you might be at the moment. How you speak to someone, and your expectations for this person’s responses, might need revision. Choose to allow your feelings and thoughts to flow more openly. Tonight: Schedule some more free time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Build on an existing bond. You know what to expect, and you’ll find it easy to be open with this person. Open up to new possibilities, and test them out on this friend, who just might come back with yet another idea. Let the brainstorming session begin! Tonight: Ever playful. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might discover that the best path right now is the tried-andtrue. Though normally you are more unconventional, if you want to succeed, you’ll need to bend a little more. Real estate, a parent and security all are factors that need serious consideration. Tonight: Stay close to home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

HHHH You know what you like, and

you’re capable of creating it. Get on the phone or send out some emails to initiate conversations with those whom you might impact by deciding to move in a new direction. Brainstorm away. Tonight: You might be amazed by what emerges.

Kings introduce McLemore, McCallum

Associated Press

Sacramento Kings first round draft pick Ben McLemore, formerly at the University of Kansas, laughs as he answers a reporters question during a news conference in Sacramento, Calif. on Monday.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — One grew up in such poverty he had days when he wondered where he would find his next meal. The other is a coach’s son who attended the same high school as a player whose jersey is retired in the rafters. Ben McLemore and Ray McCallum, while opposites in many ways, are now tied together in the same backcourt. The Sacramento Kings hope that will be the case for several years to come. On the day NBA free agency began, Sacramento formally introduced its draft picks Monday. The team touted both as players with high character and tremendous potential who will help build the foundation of the franchise’s “new

era,” which could become even more pressing if restricted free agent guard Tyreke Evans doesn’t return. New owner Vivek Ranadive treated both to dinner along with their friends and family Sunday night. The wealthy Silicon Valley businessman said each impressed him as much or more as a person than as a player. McLemore’s well-chronicled rise from a depressed St. Louis neighborhood to a star at Kansas has finally reached the NBA, a place he could only imagine when he was growing up in the smallest house on Wellston Avenue. He chose the No. 16 with the Kings because he is one of Sonya Reid’s six children — and also because the two numbers equal his draft

slot, No. 7. “Ben’s story is the stuff of legends,” said Ranadive, who can relate to the perseverance after starting from humble beginnings in India, then graduating from MIT and Harvard and founding TIBCO Software. “This is the story of the triumph of hard work over adversity, success against all odds. This is the stuff that movies are made of.” McLemore recalled how he and his youngest brother, Kevin, would do whatever they could — mow lawns, clean cars, even dispose of trash — to find a few dollars to eat. His mother worked various lowlevel jobs — when she was fortunate enough to find work — and as many as 10 relatives would sleep in their 600-square foot home.

Serena: No. 1 ... and done Williams loses to Lisicki in Wimbledon stunner LONDON (AP) — Serena Williams joined a growing list of marquee names eliminated early at this wild and unpredictable Wimbledon. The defending champion and five-time Wimbledon winner failed to close out a see-saw third set Monday, dropping the last four games to Sabine Lisicki of Germany and losing 6-2, 1-6, 6-4 in the fourth round. The result ended Williams’ career-best 34-match winning streak. It was the latest in a string of improbable exits to jolt the tournament, with defending champion Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal knocked out in the first three days along with Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka. “I probably couldn’t be more disappointed,” Williams said. “I think I may have backed off of a success. I was playing something successful. I didn’t continue that path. The result didn’t go the way it could have gone had I continued to play the way I did in the second set.” Of the two big favorites still in the tournament, second-seeded Andy Murray stayed on course for a second straight final by beating 20th-seeded Mikhail Youzhny of Russia 6-4, 7-6 (5), 6-1, while topranked Novak Djokovic played Tommy Haas later. After dropping the first set, Williams looked to be cruising, winning nine straight games to take a 3-0 lead in the third. The

players then traded breaks to give Williams a 4-2 lead, but the American couldn’t win another game despite having four break points at 4-3. Those would have given her a chance to serve for the match. Instead, Lisicki held, broke again, and converted her second match point with a forehand winner. “I’m still shaking,” Lisicki said in a post-match interview, covering her face with her hands to wipe away tears. “I’m just so happy.” Williams said her serve — usually her main weapon — let her down in the third set. “I felt that I was on the verge of winning,” she said. “At that point I just was physically unable to hold serve. ... You have to be ready and willing to hold your serve. I wasn’t willing or able, probably didn’t even want to hold my serve today.” Lisicki reached the semifinals at the All England Club in 2011 but this will rank as her biggest victory at the grass-court Grand Slam. She has now eliminated the reigning French Open champion the last four times she played Wimbledon, having missed the tournament in 2010. She ousted Sharapova in the fourth round last year. Murray, facing the ever-increasing pressure to become the first British man since 1936 to win Wimbledon, was in trouble in the second set. He trailed 5-2 against Youzhny, a 2012 Wimbledon quarterfinalist, but broke back when

Then, down 5-3 in the tiebreaker, Murray took the set’s last four points. He broke immediately in the third, and cruised from there to set up a meeting with Fernando Verdasco of Spain. Murray is the only British player left in the tournament, after 19-year-old Laura Robson lost. She couldn’t recover from her missed chances in the first set and fell 7-6 (5), 7-5 to Kaia Kanepi of Estonia, failing to become the first British

woman in the quarters of any Grand Slam since 1984. Robson, the first British woman to reach the second week at Wimbledon since 1998, served for the first set at 5-4 but was broken, then led 5-2 in the tiebreaker. She double-faulted at 5-4, with neither serve coming close to going in — the first one went about 5 feet long and the second bounced into the net. “I had my chances here and there and I just didn’t take

them,” Robson said. “At that point, I was just trying to will myself to play unbelievable tennis when just making a serve would have been fine. But, as cliche as it sounds, it’s all part of the learning experience. The more I get myself into those kinds of situations, the more I’m going to benefit.” Instead of a big headline Williams vs. Robson matchup, Kanepi will now face Lisicki in the quarterfinals.

Is 15 enough for the ACC?

Park will chase 4th straight major at British Open SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) — Inbee Park hoped to win a Grand Slam. A career Grand Slam, that is. The single-season variety was just too outlandish. Yet she’ll head to St. Andrews next month for the Women’s British Open with a chance to become the first player to go 4 for 4 in majors — whatever that may be called, now that there are five majors in a year. “Whether I do it or not, I’m just a very lucky person,” Park said Sunday after winning the U.S. Women’s Open for the second time. Park’s four-shot victory at windy Sebonack would seem to bode well for Scotland, though the world’s top-ranked player has won in pretty much every situation this season on the way to six titles, including all three majors and three straight tournaments overall. Park talked Sunday about how calm she felt, and Annika Sorenstam could only marvel. Sorenstam was the last player to try to win the year’s first

three majors, in 2005, and she didn’t come close at the U.S. Women’s Open. “I was NOT calm,” she said with a laugh. “I know the pressure you can feel, the expectations,” Sorenstam added. “She’s handled it beautifully. Nothing seems to faze her.” Brad Beecher, Park’s longtime caddie, said he’s never seen her angry or emotional on the course. “I think it’s because I feel the happiest when I’m at the golf course,” Park said. “I feel calm when I’m on the golf course. I think I’m just a much better person when I’m on the golf course. Yeah, outside the golf course, I feel the pressure and I feel what everybody else is feeling. But on the golf course, it’s just the golf ball and clubs. And when I have that, it just puts a lot of pressure off of me.” She’ll head home to South Korea for a rare visit before the British. Park knows she won’t get much time to herself there, but she wants to share her success with the fans who wake up in the middle of the night to watch her play.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Atlantic Coast Conference is now a 15-team league — and it might just stay that way for a while. After Commissioner John Swofford welcomed Pittsburgh, Syracuse and Notre Dame to the ACC at a news conference at the NASDAQ stock exchange in Manhattan, he said that further expansion isn’t on the agenda. “It’s not a topic of conversation for us right now,” he said. “I would not anticipate it being in the future, but we’ll see. I don’t predict the future much anymore, I’ve learned better. But it’s not something that’s on the table for discussion in our league right now.” Swofford was joined at the news conference by Florida State football coach Jimbo Fisher, Virginia Tech football coach Frank Beamer, Notre Dame basketball coach Mike Brey, Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim and former Pittsburgh great and now Arizona Cardinals star receiver Larry Fitzgerald. The group then took part in a closing bell ceremony at the stock market. The ACC even brought the mascots to Times Square for an event it dubbed—ACCtakeNYC on Twitter. The fuzzy crew of costumed characters was bouncing around Manhattan on Sunday, posting pictures on Twitter from various tourist attractions. The ACC does have one more lineup change scheduled for next year, when Maryland leaves for the Big Ten and Louisville joins. The Cardinals were picked to replace the Terrapins ahead of

Cincinnati and Connecticut. Both of those schools lobbied the ACC to be next out of the Big East and both remain in the newly renamed American Athletic Conference. If the ACC ever does decide to go to 17 members — 16 for football as Notre Dame will remain an independent in its flagship sport — Cincinnati and Connecticut would make geographic sense and fit in perfectly with what is shaping up to be the most formidable basketball conference in the country. Syracuse and Pittsburgh have been perennial top-20 basketball programs in recent years, and Louisville is the defending NCAA champion. “From an athletic perspective, I think it’s more than fair to say this is the strongest collection of basketball programs that has ever been assembled in one conference,” Swofford said. “And our potential from a football standpoint is truly unlimited.” On the football side, Louisville is coming off one of its most successful seasons, capped by a victory against Florida in the Sugar Bowl. Syracuse and Pittsburgh haven’t been made much noise nationally in football for most of the last decade, though Fisher said ACC football is better with the arrival of the Panthers and Orange this year and Cardinals next. “You’re talking about a league that can compete for national championships,” said Fisher, whose Seminoles are the defending ACC champions and finished No. 10 in the country last season.

A Helpful Moving Tip

107 Jenny, Holcomb • $105,000

Single letters, short words and words using any apostrophe give you clues to locating vowels.

Weekends are a prime time for truck rentals and moving companies. Move mid-week, and you’re much more likely to find an available moving service (even during peak moving months); you may even be able to negotiate a lower rate.

Friend rubs womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nose in good fortune Dear Annie: I have a lifelong friend who, over the past 10 years, has gotten so steeped in her church that she has become unbearable. She tells me constantly (bragging is more like it) about how her God has blessed her and her family with their new house, all her lovely grandchildren, and getting her together with her current husband (they met online after two divorces). She says she has received everything she has prayed for and goes on about what an amazing job God has done for her family. I mean, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting hard to listen to. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to sound sour, but my circumstances are vastly different, and she knows it. I lost my husband to homicide, and my son passed away at a young age. It seems everything in my life has been an ice-cream cone in the dirt. After one too many losses, I figured there was no God and have given up

on religion. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but be jealous of her good fortune, yet I always reply by saying how happy I am for her. Still, it seems as if she is trying to rub my nose in it. I keep my mouth shut as she goes on and on about how God is blessing her daily. Do you have any ideas short of scrapping the 60-year-old friendship? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Friendship Woes Dear Friendship: You might remind her that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away.â&#x20AC;? She has every reason to be grateful for her blessings, but shoving them in your face is ungracious and shows a lack of consideration for your circumstances. Perhaps this is her mis-

guided attempt to bring you into her religious circle, but it is not working. Tell her gently that you are certain she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intend to hurt you by constantly boasting about her blessings, but you would appreciate it if she would stop before it becomes too much to bear. Dear Annie: My only child just graduated high school. Her summer is full of parties, working and having fun with her friends. This includes staying out later on weekday evenings. As the only parent, I work full time and need to be in bed by a decent time. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be awakened by her coming home or, worse, worrying about whether sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great girl with a good head on her shoulders. But as a widow, I know firsthand that bad things can happen to the people you love. How do I deal with this new wrinkle as my daugh-

ter teeters on the brink of adulthood? She still needs rules and guidance. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be overprotective. Is there a compromise that will put my mind at ease and let her enjoy her summer? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mom Dear Mom: You are smart to anticipate these problems and understand the pitfalls. First, if your daughter has a job, she, too, needs to get some rest. Discuss this with her. Explain the problem from your perspective, and let her weigh in. Work out a â&#x20AC;&#x153;contract,â&#x20AC;? in which she agrees to respond promptly to your calls or texts and to call if she cannot get home safely, and you agree to pick her up, etc. But you cannot protect her from everything, Mom, and in the near future, you will have no control over it anyway. It will help if you train yourself in the difficult task of letting go.

Dear Heloise: I came across this idea, which has helped out with gifts for the grandchildren each year. Save the dollar bills that have the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initial in the circle on the front, left-hand side of the bill. The initials go only from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aâ&#x20AC;? to â&#x20AC;&#x153;L,â&#x20AC;? though. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gwen S. in Louisiana This is a clever hint for those looking for unique gifts to give children. Unfortunately, as you stated, this hint works only for children whose names begin with the first 12 letters of the alphabet. The circle and letter you mention is actually the Federal Reserve seal. This seal identifies which of the 12 United States Federal Reserve banks printed that piece of paper money. Each of

those banks is given a letter code (which is the A-L in the circle), which also becomes the prefix of the serial number on that particular dollar bill. Just as an example, an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aâ&#x20AC;? in the seal tells you that the dollar was printed in Boston, and the letter â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aâ&#x20AC;? also will precede the numbers of the serial number on that same dollar bill. Every image on our currency is there for a reason â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pretty cool! â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Heloise Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 782795000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise@Heloise.com. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column.

Congratulations

HHHHHHHHHHH

Independence Day, the only holiday that celebrates the United States, is a national holiday marked by patriotic displays. Similar to other summer-themed events, Independence Day celebrations often take place outdoors. Independence Day is a federal holiday, so all non-essential federal institutions (like the postal service and federal courts) are closed on that day. Many politicians make it a point on this day to appear at a public event to praise the nation’s heritage, laws, history, society, and people.

Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, picnics, baseball games, and various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States, but is often also viewed as simply a summer festival, apart from its patriotic overtones.
