Supreme Court: Arizona citizenship proof law illegal WASHINGTON (AP) — States can’t demand proof of citizenship from people registering to vote in federal elections unless they get federal or court approval to do so, the Supreme Court ruled Monday in a decision complicating efforts in Arizona and other states to bar voting by people who are in the country illegally.

The justices’ 7-2 ruling closes the door on states independently changing the requirements for

those using the voter-registration form produced under the federal “motor voter” registration law.

They would need permission from a federally created panel, the Election Assistance Commission, or a federal court ruling overturning the commission’s decision, to make tougher requirements stick.

Justice Antonin Scalia, who wrote the court’s majority opinion, said federal law “precludes Arizona from requiring a federal

form applicant to submit information beyond that required by the form itself.”

Voting rights advocates welcomed the ruling.

“Today’s decision sends a strong message that states cannot block their citizens from registering to vote by superimposing burdensome paperwork requirements on top of federal law,” said Nina Perales, vice president of litigation for the Mexican American

Legal Defense and Educational Fund. “The Supreme Court has affirmed that all U.S. citizens have the right to register to vote using the national postcard, regardless of the state in which they live.”

Under Proposition 200 approved in 2004, Arizona officials required an Arizona driver’s license issued after 1996, a U.S. birth certificate, a passport or other similar document before the state would approve the fed-

eral registration application. It can no longer do that on its own authority.

Less than 5 percent of people registering to vote in Arizona use the federal form, said Matt Roberts, a spokesman for Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett.

The rest register through the state, meaning they will continue to be asked to provide proof of citizenship when signing up to vote.

Court-affiliated Kobach: Court ruling won’t block Kansas voter law agencies rethink new building plan

By SCOTT AUST

saust@gctelegram.com

A proposal made a couple of months ago by three court-affiliated agencies to construct a new building that would create a one-stop shop for court-ordered services has run into some obstacles, the Finney County Commission learned on Monday.

Officials with Youth Services, Community Corrections, District Court — Court Services had proposed in April building a new facility next to the Juvenile Detention Center to house all their services.

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 in 2014. 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 was to eliminate areas of overlap or duplication of services.

The initial rough estimate to build a new 18,000 square feet building was projected at around $2 million.

However, the agencies have learned constructing a new building would be considerably more expensive than anticipated.

Kurtis Jacobs, district court administrator, said an architectural study of what each agency wanted to see in a new building came up with a 26,729square-foot building that would cost about $4.36 million for a very basic building that did not include any furnishings.

“That was obviously not something we could swing. It was far more money than we thought we could come up with, so we went back to the drawing board and started whittling it down,” he said.

A scaled down version provided 21,895 square feet for $3.57 million, which was still more than the groups have in potential funding.

TOPEKA (AP) — Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach promised Monday that the state will keep enforcing its proof-of-citizenship requirement for new voters even after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a similar Arizona law.

Kobach, a former law professor, said the two states’ laws are different enough that the high court’s decision doesn’t apply to the Kansas statute. He said the Kansas law doesn’t have the same defects that prompted the court to declare the Arizona statute in conflict with a long-standing federal law designed to make registering to vote easier.

But the Republican secretary of state’s

stance could prompt a federal lawsuit in Kansas from critics who believe the proofof-citizenship law is now suspect because of the U.S. Supreme Court decision.

The high court ruled 7-2 that the Arizona law is pre-empted by the federal voter registration law, and the majority noted that the U.S. Constitution allows Congress to “make or alter” state rules on the times, places and manner of elections for federal offices.

Kobach said the Kansas law, initially proposed by his office, was drafted carefully to avoid a conflict. Several county election officials said they were waiting for guidance from his office before considering

changes.

“We’re going to proceed with implementing the law,” Kobach told The Associated Press during an interview. “We find nothing in the Supreme Court decision that indicates there’s an infirmity with the Kansas law.”

The Kansas proof-of-citizenship law applies when people register to vote in the state for the first time, requiring them to provide a birth certificate, passport or other documents. Large, bipartisan majorities in the Legislature approved the measure in 2011 at Kobach’s urging, and it took effect in January.

USD 457 school board members discussed 2012-13 board goals, the five-year strategic plan and district remodeling and repair projects at Monday night’s meeting.

The Board of Education’s 2012-13 goals consisted of four overall objectives: continue to raise academic standards for all students; provide effective management of district resources; continue to refine processes to improve communication; and provide a support structure that will maximize learning in a safe, orderly and healthy environment. Within those four goals were 19 sub-goals.

Rick Atha and Assistant Superintendent Darren Dennis went over which goals were met and which were not.

“We did gain, we just didn’t gain 10 percent,” Dennis said, referring to a sub-goal of increasing the rigor of curriculum for all students. “In order for us to be consistently meeting our goal with Common Core, we need to make that a priority and that will continue to be a focus for us.”

Dennis also went over the another sub goal, adapting instruction in order to meet the challenge of Common Core standards.

“I think we made significant gains on this. We called it a target, but it really depended on where you were at, what grade level. As I think you know

already, we really started our focus with Common Core at the kindergarten level, not this most recent school year, but the one before that. This most recent school year, we moved that to a K-2 focus and at that level, we’ve been, I think, very successful in implementing Common Core,” Dennis said. “As we move up, our focus continues to move up, so upper elementary, 3-6, we’re in target, we’ve aligned curriculum and we’re ready to implement. At the secondary level, there’s been a significant amount of professional development provided as we’re in the process of writing curriculum. It’s not done yet; it will be done this fall. So Common Core is a huge topic and it’s one See USD 457, Page A5

Some funds restored, but crime worries remain

By Deb Gruver The Wichita Eagle

(MCT) — The financial outlook for the Kansas Department of Corrections got better after Gov. Sam Brownback restored almost $3 million in budget cuts Saturday.

But the department still is losing millions, and state officials still worry that crime rates could go up as the dollars go down.

Less money for programs to teach people how to make better decisions may increase recidivism.

Cuts to juvenile delinquency prevention programs could create new criminals.

Fewer parole officers will mean less intense supervision for people who have proven they need it. “If they’re not supervised, they’re going to keep repeating their actions, and there’s potential for crime rates to go up,�

Sedgwick County Sheriff Jeff Easter said last week. “This isn’t just a Sedgwick County problem. It’s a state problem.�

Brownback agreed.

On Saturday, he restored $2.7 million to the department for fiscal year 2014, which starts July 1, and vetoed the budget for fiscal year 2015, which included nearly $10 million in cuts to the department. “I have grave concerns about

the impact of this budget on public safety,� Brownback said in his veto message, adding that his actions “will allow the Department of Corrections to use these resources to soften the impact of their reduced funding and protect critical components of our corrections system.�

The corrections department still faces cuts of between $4.7 million and $5.7 million for 2014, Jeremy Barclay, special assistant to Corrections Secretary Ray Roberts, said Saturday.

How the department will handle the cuts is yet to be determined, Barclay said last week.

But a memo the department issued in May, during legislative discussions when cuts were proposed to be $5.6 million, said it would cut: • $2 million for community corrections programming needed to implement the Justice Reinvestment Act, a plan to reduce the number of prisoners. • $500,000 in the parole budget, resulting in the layoffs of 10 parole officers. Parole officers each handle an average of 60 cases. • $1.2 million to community corrections grants that fund programs for high-risk probationers. Those cuts likely will affect Sedgwick County, including its adult residential facility. • $350,000 for juvenile delinquency prevention. • $350,000 to juvenile commu-

nity corrections programs. • $600,000 in open corrections officer positions.

The county doesn’t yet know how the department’s budget cut will trickle down to the local level. County Manager William Buchanan noted last week that an additional $750,000 the Legislature had allotted for the Judge Riddel Boys Ranch likely would be overshadowed by the cuts.

Sen. Jeff King, R-Independence, said he believes the money will be restored when the Legislature convenes in January. “I do share those concerns but believe they can be and will be and are being remedied,� he said. “I worked very hard to get assurance from the speaker of the House, Senate leadership and the governor that things would be done as soon as possible to make sure that funding for public safety budgets would be fully restored.

The governor has publicly and repeatedly said he will work for a supplemental appropriation in January, and the speaker of the House gave written confirmation that he would support supplemental funding to fund corrections.�

King made those remarks before Brownback’s vetoes Saturday. In his veto message, Brownback said that he looked “forward to working with the 2014 Legislature in finding the department sufficient resources to ensure public safety is not imperiled.�

Easter is concerned not only as a law enforcement officer who spent years on the streets with the Wichita Police Department but also as a sheriff who runs a jail.

Re-offenders will create new crime victims, and the criminals will land, even if only for a while, at the Sedgwick County Jail, which is already dealing with overcrowding.

The budget for the corrections department started with more promise this past spring.

Brownback had recommended $2 million in additional funding in fiscal year 2014 and $3 million in fiscal year 2015 for programs aimed to keep people from coming back to prison.

The department estimated there would be 250 to 300 fewer people coming to prison next fiscal year and 750 to 800 fewer inmates in fiscal year 2015.

When people violate parole, Barclay said, parole officers write them up, and then they wait for three weeks to see a judge.

New policies would be more of a deterrent, putting parole violators back in prison for 120 or 180 days “so that they get the message,� Barclay said.

Now the department likely will look to those new programs and educational opportunities for prisoners as a place to cut.

G.C. YMCA hires new staff, promotes from within

Region & State

The Garden City Family YMCA has hired three new staff members and promoted five from within as part of a reorganization.

Those who left are Health and Fitness Director Stacy Crase, Membership Director Shannan Sullivan and Child Care Director Hannah Simpkins. Child Care Coordinator Valerie Paxson left in March or April after 10 years with the YMCA. The biggest changes came in the child care and membership and Membership Services Associate departments. “There’s always change, Hewson but not normally this much at one time,� said Marcy VenJohn, associate director of marketing and mission advancement. The previous health and fitness and membership directors were at the YMCA for about seven years each, she said.

Krystal Richardson will become the new family director. She will oversee Tighe the child care department, as well as continue to serve the family programs. Steven Lynch, child care coordinator, and Roni Knight, summer camp coordinator, will work under Richardson.

Lynch was previously sports intern and helped in the fitness department in the absence of the fitness director. Roni Knight will oversee the Summer Camp program, which serves up to 100 children daily throughout the summer.

Lynch will handle all the child care payments, assist Ibarra Richardson and Knight and oversee the 4-year-old program.

CEO Chad Knight said there were some problems with billing and accounts receivable where things were not put into the system correctly.

Knight said several refunds have been issued in the past couple of weeks. With Richardson in charge, he said things should get straightened out.

To maintain the success of the child care and membership departments, the YMCA promoted Crystal Ibarra and RaShawn Hewson from within, the release said.

Ibarra, previously the membership coordinator, is now the membership director. Hewson was the MSA coordinator and is now the MSA manager.

Keali Carr was promoted and hired to become the new membership coordinator.

Carr was working in the aquatics department and Kandace Kennis, member engagement coordinator, has increased her job duties to help the membership department for both branches in Garden City and Dodge City. She also will assist the chief financial officer as an administrative assistant with various duties.

VenJohn will help oversee the membership promotions and services for both branches.

All the changes focus on member recruitment, retention and building relationships, the release said. “To help with a smooth transition and use the expertise of our outgoing membership director, I felt it was best to promote our two coordinators to full-time positions so we didn’t take a step or two backwards,� Knight said. “The impact of these two departments plays a vital role in our overall budget, and we need to continue the upward growth in member service and membership.�

Sarah Tighe was hired as the new health and fitness director. She comes from Jamaica, Iowa, with a strong background in fitness and group exercise. “Sarah brings enthusiasm and high energy to our fitness department, and we are expecting some big changes,� Knight said.

With all the staff changes, VenJohn said she doesn’t believe things will change drastically. “That’s what we’re striving to do — always making the YMCA a better place, a place with more opportunities, a place with more programs; just making things better for our members.�

Jackpot

is a small 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 is neutered, walks well on a leash and is not an excessive barker.

He kennels at night and sleeps quietly through the night.

is a spayed female German Shepherd Dog. She is a beautiful dog who is definitely due for a wonderful home where she will be part of the family and not kept as a yard ornament. She is a little underweight from the stress of her last home, but she is gradually getting her groove back in her foster home. Ask at the shelter how to meet Rain. Meet the girl of your dreams!

(a.k.a. Jack) is a boxer mix who lives in a foster home with lots of other dogs.

He is very interested in the kitties but probably should not live with kitties unsupervised. He has lots of energy and loves to play for hours on end.

He is working on house manners and really wants a home where he can be in on all the action and not stuck in the backyard. To meet Jackpot, contact the shelter today!

Government dance from openness

Natural fit Local zoo finds new way to educate with an event.

P

A

new event in Garden City may be small to start, but its potential extends in a far-reaching way.

Lee Richardson Zoo will be the site of the first Global Bazaar and Ten Thousand Villages Festival, scheduled for 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday in the Wild Asia parking lot at the zoo.

The cultural event will feature items shipped in by the Ten Thousand Villages organization, a nonprofit fair trade group What’s your favorite annual that markets event at Lee Richardson bags, scarves, Zoo? Add your comments jewelry, furni- at the end of the online ture, baskets, version of this editorial at table linens, GCTelegram.com/opinion. toys and other products handcrafted by disadvantaged artisans in Third World countries.

Funds collected through local sales will be sent back to the artisans’ villages, with Friends of Lee Richardson Zoo receiving a small percentage for assisting in the sales. Those proceeds will benefit a new primate exhibit, the next big project ahead at the zoo.

Local vendors also will be involved in selling food and goods at the Global Bazaar. Organizers see the new event blossoming into one involving more local vendors who could offer a variety of food and products specific to ethnic groups in the area, along with dances and other cultural entertainment.

Credit organizers for viewing the new event as one that would go handin-hand with the global theme of the zoo, which has a layout divided into continents.

An international day at the zoo is indeed a natural fit. And, any opportunity to help people better understand ethnic diversity in an area that’s a melting pot of cultures also makes sense.

Lee Richardson Zoo and other good zoo operations are on a multifaceted mission. Along with efforts to preserve animals and conduct worldwide conservation efforts, zoos also exist to educate the public.

While much of the education focuses on the animals, Lee Richardson Zoo also does a good job of sharing lessons on the environment and other aspects of life.

With the new Global Bazaar, zoo supporters have come up with another interesting fundraiser and educational event — as well as a different way to showcase diversity in a community with a longstanding, positive tradition of embracing people of many backgrounds.

Nation of disappearing privacy W

e are all celebrities now.

Ever since we won Time Magazine’s Person of the Year in 2006, the same year we first found out about the National Security Administration spying on us, we’ve all become essentially public figures.

It’s the new equality: We are all stars!

“Private citizen” is now akin to “paid volunteer” — a contradiction.

If you’re on the grid, you’re no longer private.

Why? Because we’re being watched. Our personal paparazzi are tracking our every move.

The retailer, Target, can tell you when you’re pregnant, sometimes before you know. (It’s called “target marketing” and it’s just a funny coincidence Target is really good at it.) Your car knows when you speed and is ready to rat you out. Your “phone” is basically a data-gathering gadget disclosing everything from where you are to how often you win at online Scrabble. Your web ads know the kind of shoes you ogle off-hours.

And then there are our fan pages: Facebook, Instagram, Pintrest, Twitter, Google+ and whatever offshoot you’re into. We volunteer much about our lives as public figures.

And now there’s confirmation the NSA is STILL data-mining our phone calls, possibly our emails and who knows what else.

Yes, they’re going after terrorists, but our information is in the queue too ... just in case.

When Obama said this would be the most transparent administration in history, he was right.

He just meant us.

Which is why we should at least decriminalize adult prostitution and weed.

Stick with me here.

If we have to live in a digital fishbowl, then we should have the decency not to fill prisons with blue law violators.

If it’s not private, at least make it not prosecutable.

There has to be some freedom — some ray of civil liberties — left in what we call a free country.

The 2005 Supreme Court decision, Lawrence vs. Texas, made consensual sex between adults legal in all 50 states. These so-called sodomy laws weren’t just aspirational guidelines for a Christian utopian society, they were used to lock up married people for doing what Michael Douglas said gave him throat cancer. “...Homosexual acts are wrong. They’re intrinsically wrong. And I think in a natural law-based country it’s appropriate to have policies that reflect that,” said Ken Cuccinelli, Attorney General for Virginia, who is now running for governor. He’s the government. He’s the main legal adviser in a state which claims it is “for lovers.” He wants to dictate what we can do behind closed doors. The problem is: We no longer have those proverbial closed doors.

According to an FBI report, marijuana arrests make up more

than half of all drug arrests.

One person is arrested every 42 seconds for pot. It’s not a stretch to imagine NSA data could go toward finding potheads to put in the pokey. Weed is a stupid drug and the laws against it are even stupider.

Prostitution is the world’s oldest profession. Which means johns are the world’s oldest consumers. Criminalizing something as ancient and innate as opposable thumbs is ridiculous to begin with. Now that the government knows which call girls get called — it’s outright draconian.

I’m not propagating some flippant idea that if we have no laws then there will be no crime.

I’m merely suggesting having no privacy and arbitrary puritanical laws is a recipe for a theocracy.

We have no confidentiality yet petty prudes wield legal authority in the government.

What we’re looking at is the worst of both worlds. It’s like a mashup of The Scarlet Letter and 1984 — The Crucible with electronic surveillance.

And I don’t think we can regain our privacy. The technology exists to track us and store the data. Our information is gathered now. It’s here.

What we can do is be tolerant of private behavior that is begrudgingly now public knowledge.

Think of it as the burden that comes with being a “celebrity.”

Cincinnati and IRS disconnect T

he Internal Revenue Service hadn’t spoken four sentences about its targeting of conservative groups before it blamed “our line people in Cincinnati.”

Those were the words of Director of Exempt Organizations Lois Lerner on May 10, when she acknowledged the misconduct in an answer to a question at an American Bar Association conference. In a session with reporters later that day, she famously admitted that she is not good at math. It turns out that she is not good at geography, either.

The locus of the IRS scandal, it has steadily emerged, is not in Cincinnati but in Washington, where lawyers and supervisors were aware of and directed the special scrutiny for tea-party groups applying for 501(c)(4) status. This has falsified a line of defense that the administration and its allies have held as assiduously as Lt. John Chard’s troops at Rorke’s Drift.

White House press secretary Jay Carney explained: “There were line employees at the IRS who improperly targeted conservative groups.” Rep. Jim McDermott of Washington state summed it all up thusly: “This small group of people in the Cincinnati office screwed up.” James Carville still holds out the possibility that the whole mess was caused by “some people in the Cincinnati office.”

They have made “Cincinnati” a byword for scandal. By their account, there’s no explaining Cincinnatians.

They are a strange and foreign people, noted for their bristling hostility to the tea party and their cussed resistance to direc-

tion from above. It’s a wonder the IRS is even able to maintain an office in Cincinnati, given the recklessness of workers in that remote southern Ohio city.

The Cincinnati explanation has many virtues. It serves to minimize the scandal by blaming it on what sounds like a bureaucratic backwater, and the Cincinnati IRS office is about 505 miles from the White House, 504.2 more than the IRS headquarters in Washington.

But the Blame Cincinnati First crowd should have had no credibility from the beginning.

As Eliana Johnson of National Review reported, the inspector general report, released right after the scandal broke, detailed in its chronology how Cincinnati employees constantly interacted with Washington.

In May 2010, staffers in the so-called Determinations Unit in Cincinnati were told to “send additional information request letters to the Technical Unit for review prior to issuance.” The Technical Unit is in Washington.

Shortly thereafter, the Technical Unit “began reviewing additional information request letters prepared by the Determinations Unit.” IRS lawyers in Washington approved intrusive questions of tea-party groups and even wrote them.

Staff in Cincinnati complained about the micromanagement.

The House Oversight Committee investigation has found the same thing. A Cincinnati employee named

Gary Muthert told committee investigators that he flagged tea-party applications because his supervisor told him that “Washington, D.C., wanted some cases.”

Johnson reports that another Cincinnati employee, Elizabeth Hofacre, was shocked when Lerner initially blamed Cincinnati. She told committee investigators, “It was a nuclear strike on us.” In Hofacre’s telling, it’s impossible to have a rogue operation of a couple of employees in Cincinnati because “the managers, they have really tight inventory-control systems. I mean they get periodic prints of our inventory, so they know exactly what cases we had, how old they are, how long we have had them.”

Notwithstanding all this, the ranking Democrat on the Oversight Committee, Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings has pronounced the IRS scandal solved. He cites testimony of one Cincinnati manager who says he has no reason to believe that the White House was involved.

The manager also says the focus on the tea party arose because someone in Cincinnati went to the Technical Unit with questions about an initial application in 2010.

Even if this account is correct, it’s a far cry from the Cincinnati-centric defense initially on offer. It means that Washington was involved from the very beginning. As someone who knew about the targeting and was involved years ago, this shouldn’t have been a surprise to Lois Lerner. She, after all, works — or worked — in Washington.

olls are useful, no doubt about it. They also can be misleading. They utilize statistics to take an opinion snapshot. But snapshots can confuse because they only capture an instant, instead of the context of the moment. Besides, as Mark Twain and Benjamin Disraeli are all too often quoted, there are “Lies, damned lies, and statistics.”

In polling, so much depends on the precise wording used in the questions. So it is that our various surveys seem to indicate that when asked about the mass data scoops by the National Security Agency, the composite view is Americans don’t know what to think. I base that on several tallies that suggest people are all over the map. Washington Post-Pew Research Center sampling projects 56 percent who find them “acceptable.” CBS counts 58 percent who disapprove of collecting information about ordinary Americans. I first thought the issue would have staying power and said so just one column ago.

One of the cool parts of this job is that you can change your mind.

So now I believe that soon, those of us in and around political showbiz (“Hooray for Washington!”) will have to move on to something else we can sensationalize. It’s a shame, really, because this topic is one that definitely deserves more attention.

It’s not even a question of how our private lives are such an open book. Surely, we’ve figured that out with all the surveillance cameras and GPS devices monitoring our every move. We’ve also come to accept that corporations closely analyze the intimate data that are revealed by whatever we do with our electronic devices.

In fact, maybe we can take a big chunk out of the deficit by simply subcontracting the snooping to Google or Facebook or Amazon or one of those other companies that already are doing the same thing. At the very least, the U.S. government could merge its program with the Chinese, who also are cyberspying on Americans. Think of the economy-of-scale savings.

Of course, if we are to believe our public officials, they actually are not intruding on our privacy all that much. If we can’t trust the NSA director, Gen. Keith Alexander, when he says his people “take great pride in protecting this nation and our civil liberties and privacy,” then who can we trust?

For too many, the answer is nobody. The credibility of our system is shot. We have been worn down by the daily water torture of corruption and deceit that stains both the public and private sectors. Even when there is reform, it is quickly thwarted by armies of nihilistic lawyers, accountants and lobbyists. At the same time, politicians continuously make bold promises that are routinely unkept. Playing by the rules seems to be for suckers.

Even the calls by those in power for an open debate are disingenuous. They can evade any question by simply claiming the answer is classified. When they contend that the leaks by the Edward Snowdens and Bradley Mannings of this world do great harm, we also are told we must accept that on faith.

That becomes even more difficult when we absorb the information that does see the light of day and discover that these same officials haven’t been straight with us. National intelligence chief James Clapper is directly asked at an open Senate hearing in March “Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?” and directly answers “No sir.” He excuses his response as “the least untruthful” one he could give.

The reality was hidden behind the national-security fabric, so his fabrication was justified. That’s how he sees it.

Overall, skepticism is spreading. When we do the poll dance, we consistently find a majority has decided the country is headed in the wrong direction. That would certainly include the movement away from openness.

Change: Court-affiliated agencies rethinking new building plan Continued from Page A1

Jacobs said the groups have started looking at buying an existing building outright or financing it through a lease-purchase agreement, and then remodeling the building to fit their needs.

Buildings that have been looked at include: • The current Youth Services building on 11th Street. However, the building is not large enough for all three agencies and there are issues with a roof leak, parking and the distance from downtown. • The existing Community

Corrections building on Main Street and a building available next to it. But it has less than adequate space for all three agencies, limited parking, and ADA issues being without an elevator. • American Legion building on Spruce Street. The building is small and in disrepair. Jacobs said the location is good, but the building space would need to be tripled or quadrupled to accommodate all three agencies making the option likely cost prohibitive. • Commerce Bank building downtown on Main Street. With 25,000 square

feet, the building has adequate space, but would require some remodeling.

Also, some parts might not be able for public use mainly on the second floor due to the lack of an elevator and ADA access. “What we come to you today with is a progress report laying out some of the basic issues,� Jacobs said.

Jacobs said the groups want guidance from the commission about whether the county is willing to provide financial support to help Court Services and JDC to participate in a proj-

ect if one moves forward, or whether community corrections and youth services should work together on their own project using their existing funding stream.

Commissioners indicated they would want to see cost estimates about remodeling the Commerce Bank building, though there’s no guarantee the county has money available for another building project in the near future. “I think before we give these guys a directive we need to see where we come out with the bids on the Exhibition Building,�

Commissioner Roman Halbur said. “We need to do that before we step into another major project.�

A renovation of the Exhibition Building at the county fairgrounds went out for bids this spring.

The county expects to open bids for the project as soon as its July 1 meeting.

Commissioners indicated they would talk about the court-affiliated building project again at that meeting.

In other business, the commission took under advisement 2014 budget requests from the following

departments agencies: The Health Department, $1,732,159, an increase of about $25,000; District Court, $1,025,000, an increase of about $254,000; Computer Support, $303,778, a decrease of about $144,000; Public Works, about $5.7 million, an increase of about $1.6 million mostly due to projects in the Building/Road Repair and Maintenance Program; Noxious Weed, $511,791, an increase of about $6,000; Landfill, $772,000, a decrease of about $245,000; and Convention and Visitors Bureau, $1,192,000, a decrease of about $242,000.

that it’s going to take us, I think, years to implement the way it needs to be done, but we’re making significant progress toward that goal.�

Atha discussed several other sub-goals, including warranty issues at Garden City High School. Atha said that the HVAC, heating and cooling system and gymnasium floors each had warranty issues that will be addressed.

Because both are under warranty, there will be no expense to the district.

As part of goal two, board members approved projects at Horace Good Middle School and Abe Hubert Elementary School that Atha said

will help in the conversion process from a high school to a middle school and from a middle school to an elementary school, as part of the long-range plan.

The projects, Atha said, will be finished this summer and include replacement of ceiling tiles, painting and carpeting. “We have a lot of the project completed and it’s in very good shape.

It’s been a smooth process with very few change orders,� Atha said.

Atha also went over one of the sub-goals, which is to implement, monitor and evaluate the plan to realign K-8 attendance center boundaries for 2012-13 school year. “We’ve hit that at the

Telegram staff briefly evacuated after gas leak Monday morning

By The Telegram After receiving reports of a gas leak Monday morning, Black Hills Energy personnel evacuated The Garden City Telegram as they attempted to locate the leak.

Gabe Schlickau, external affairs program manager for Black Hills Energy, said the company received multiple calls about possible gas leaks, resulting in the evacuation of Telegram employees from

target area, but we’re not at the maximum on that because we need data, and it’s going to take us a couple of years to collect data to determine if our neighborhood school is really working to where we will reduce forced transfers in the district. The indicator right now is that we have reduced forced transfers but we live in a very transient community,� Atha said.

Atha also went over the second of three initiatives of the five-year strategic plan.

The two goals of the second initiative are expansion and enhancement of communication with the board, parents, staff, students and com-

shortly after 8 a.m. until about 9 a.m.

Schlickau said the leak was found on a small heating appliance on the top of the Telegram’s roof, which was repaired, but that the source of the odor was still undetermined. “We don’t know where the odor or the calls came from, but we want our customers to take precautions whenever they smell a gas leak,� Schlickau said.

An odorant that smells like rotten eggs is added to natural gas for leaks to be detected.

Schlickau said that whenever someone suspects a natural gas leak, they should call (800) 694-8989.

For young immigrants, a delayed coming of age MIAMI (AP) — As a child, Jorge Tume used to sit and do homework as his parents cleaned the desks and floors of a concrete company in Miami. When he was done, he’d take out the trash and help finish cleaning.

Tume’s parents brought him to the U.S. from Peru with his younger brother when he was 12.

They came on tourist visas and then stayed in the country illegally when their visas expired.

After he graduated from high school, Tume had few job pros-

pects. So he did what his parents did: Cleaned offices, washed cars and picked up odd jobs.

Now, one year after President Barack Obama announced that young people brought to the country as children and living in the U.S. illegally would be allowed to stay and work if they met certain criteria, Tume’s life looks decidedly different: He’s behind a computer filing notices for liens at the concrete company he once helped his parents clean. “I know every corner of this

office, this building,� said Tume, 21. “I used to see other people do the job that I’m doing now. And I’m sitting here now working.�

Nearly 300,000 young adults previously living illegally in the United States have been granted permission to stay and work through the program, one of the most significant shifts in immigration policy in recent decades.

Some 200,000 more have submitted applications. For those immigrants, the last year has been a sort of delayed coming of age:

Leaning how to drive, getting a license and landing a first job that’s not off the books. “Now I feel like I’m actually a member of the community like everyone else,� said Frida Ulloa, a 24-year-old student at Florida International University, who came to the U.S. from Peru as a teenager to see her ill father and never went back.

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals allows immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children to obtain work

permits for two years, which then are eligible for renewal. To qualify, they must show that they came to America before their 16th birthday, and were 30 years old or younger when the policy was announced on June 15, 2012.

They must also have lived in the U.S. continuously since 2007, and either be in school, have graduated from high school or served in the military. And they can’t have a serious criminal record or pose a threat to public safety or national security.

Upcoming Finney County Fair to showcase area wheat crop

By BARBARA ADDISON

County Extension Agent, 4-H & Youth Development

T

he Finney County Fair market wheat show is set for July 24 to 28. Although the 2013 wheat crop will not set any records, we do hope for a quality wheat crop, even though harvest is a week or so away.

Speaking of wheat, don’t forget to stop by your local grain elevator or the Finney County Extension Office to pick up the crop data cards for your county fair market wheat show entries. Once again, the Garden City Co-op will provide assistance at the wheat show during the fair.

Deadline for turning in the samples of wheat will be Monday, July 8.

Samples should be provided in a stable plastic bag along with the crop data card. The grain will be taken to the Kansas Grain Inspection Service office in Dodge City for analysis and official testing. The samples and their testing results will be ranked and displayed July 24 to 28 at the Finney County Fair.

Contact the Extension office for more information. Be sure to bring in your entries for other crop divisions also.

Market wheat show rules as will be printed in the Fair Book: Absolute entry dead-

line will be Monday, July 8, to the Finney County Extension Office or any Finney County elevator.

1) Exhibits shall consist of five pounds of combine run (not screened) wheat.

2) All wheat exhibits must be produced during the current year.

3) The five-pound sample in any container must be submitted to the Finney County Extension Office or any Finney County elevator no later than Monday, July 8.

4) All entries must be made by variety name or number.

TUESDAY June 18, 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 If you choose not to defer to others, the result might be better than in the recent past. You are a natural leader. Optimism surrounds others, and they will be more open. Communicate your bottom line.

Whether it will be honored is another story! Tonight: Time with a key loved one.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Continue the push to accomplish key tasks. Handle a financial conversation with care. Confirm what you are hearing. If need be, get an agreement written down; otherwise, there could be quite an unusual turnaround.

Tonight: Go as late you want or need, then please relax.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You dance to a different tune, and if you get stopped, you could get aggravated. Be clear about where you are coming from in an overwhelming situation where misunderstandings might happen more easily. Many people come toward you. Tonight: Others cannot help but respond.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Reach out to others, especially family and close friends. An issue needs to be seen from all perspectives before a decision can be made.

Everyone’s knowledge, experience and opinions will come together. Tonight: Debate all you want, but know that you have a busy day tomorrow.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Understanding evolves from your recent excessiveness. Try to root out the cause, and you will be happy you did. Misinformation seems to be the status quo at present. Just wait for more facts; asking questions will only add to the confusion. Tonight: Be playful. Meet friends.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Listen to news with an open mind. If information and/or financial facts seem to be skewed, or if you feel off, take a step back and observe what is going on. Assume that time will be your ally, and know that the wait-

DAY IN THE STARS

BIZARRO

Jacquelline Bigar King Features

ing game will pay off. Tonight: Join a friend and swap stories.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Your personality helps others bypass a problem. Ultimately, their unawareness and carelessness could be an issue. You might want to present the facts as you know them. Cut back on the charm for the time being. In the long run, you will not be blamed.

Tonight: As you like it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HH Watch, observe and stay mum.

You’ll see the underlying cause of a problem as a result. Others might not be ready yet to hear it, though, so be discreet. Do some research in order to stay out of an argument. Tonight: Get some extra R and R, as you are about to go into high gear.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You’ll be found shaking your head and feeling uncertain about which way to go with a major consideration or issue. You might sense that information coming from a partner is off. Wait and see what other facts come in. Put off a meeting for now. Tonight: Where crowds are.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You tend to carry a lot of weight on your shoulders. Others want to hear your opinions and feedback. Hold off as long as you can; everyone needs to make his or her own choice. You could see a change in someone’s mood.

Pace yourself. Tonight: Count on going till the wee hours.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might feel as if you have pushed hard enough. A partner or close friend will take the lead. If you have questions, ask this person for clarification. If you say nothing, it could lead to an unpleasant disagreement later. Avoid this at all costs.

Tonight: Be with a favorite person.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You need to make it a point to relate directly to someone you care deeply about. This person knows how to respond appropriately, as he or she understands you well. Do not make a misunderstanding out to be more than it really is. Tonight: Go for togetherness.

‘Heat’ is on Miami for NBA’s Game 6 with Spurs up 3-2

Associated Press

Miami Heat forward LeBron James, left, talks with teammates forward Chris Bosh (1), guard Dwyane Wade and forward Mike Miller (13) during the second quarter of Game 5 Sunday in the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs in San Antonio.

MIAMI (AP) — The Miami Heat weren’t supposed to be in this situation. Not now, anyway.

Coming home from Texas with their season on the line in 2011 was one thing. They were at the end of their first year together — LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh still trying to figure it all out and clearly a long way from it.

But this season they were the NBA’s best team, one that lost three games in three months and made losing three times in one series look unlikely, if not downright unimaginable.

The San Antonio Spurs can finish Miami off Tuesday night in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, reaffirming themselves as one of the league’s greatest franchises.

If so, the Heat’s Big Three once again go from celebrated to devastated.

“We’re going to see if we’re a better team than we were our first year together,” James said.

The Spurs took a 3-2 lead with

their 114-104 victory Sunday night.

Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili were all brilliant again, and Danny Green added to what could become one of the most out-of-nowhere finals MVP campaigns ever.

One more victory makes the Spurs 5-0 in the NBA Finals, keeping pace with Michael Jordan’s 6-0 Chicago Bulls as the only teams to make it here multiple times and never lose.

“We understand Game 6 is huge,” Parker said. “Obviously, you want to finish it the first opportunity you get.

We understand that Miami is going to come out with a lot more energy, and they’re going to play better at home.

They’re going to shoot the ball better. Their crowd is going to be behind them.”

None of that mattered two years ago.

Clearly reeling and their psyches shaken after dropping two straight games in Dallas, the Heat were blitzed early in Game 6. They never recovered, Bosh inconsolable as he made his

way back to the locker room afterward while the Mavericks celebrated at center court.

James had to endure the criticisms that came with not getting it done in the finals, a story line that was put to rest last year but will be back again if the Heat don’t manage to put together consecutive victories.

“We challenge ourselves to see if we’re a better team than we were,” Wade said. “Same position no matter how we got to it.”

The Heat would also host Game 7 on Thursday. They’re trying to join the 1988 and 2010 Los Angeles Lakers and 1994 Houston Rockets as the only teams to rally from 3-2 down by winning the final two on their home floor since the NBA Finals went to a 2-3-2 format in 1985.

Of course, the Heat — who won 27 in a row during the second-longest winning streak in league history — haven’t put together consecutive victories now in close to a month.

Blues provide home fans with sweep

Becky Malewitz/Telegram

Ulysses Tyler Watie slides safely into second as Finney County Blues infielder Robert Tomlin races toward the ball in Monday’s first game of a doubleheader at Clint Lightner Stadium. The Blues won the opener, 6-2.

By GRANT MELIN

sports@gctelegram.com

The Finney County Blues, after a twoweek absence from home, delivered two more wins and also brought along excitement in both games as they swept Ulysses 6-2 and 9-8 on Monday at Clint Lightner Stadium.

In Game 1, Finney County drew first blood in the second inning when Frankie Rosas doubled to right field and drove home Addison Deherrera and Ian Jones for the Blues’ first two runs. Rosas followed with a run of his own after a Robert Tomlin tripled to right field, sending him home to make the score 3-0.

Ulysses did not go away, though, as Tyler Watie took advantage of two errors by Blues shortstop Logan Dechant for a Ulysses run in the third inning to make it 3-1.

Finney County immediately fought back later in the third inning as Deherrera was hit by a pitch, stole a base, went to third on a wild pitch and Sy Donaldson was called for a balk, forcing in another Blues run. Brett Carmichael then scored on an Ian Jones dou-

ble to left field. Rosas had another hit to bring Jones in for all of the Blues’ runs. Despite another run by Ulysses’ Deigo Maravilla in the fourth inning.

Game 2 also had Finney County drawing first blood as Tomlin walked, stole second, then ran home via two more wild pitches for the Blues first run of Game 2.

The third inning saw more action on both sides as Mason Chavez took advantage of another Dechant error at shortstop to come home after Laramie Lumley hit to left field.

Finney County again responded with runs

by Isaiah Rodriguez and Logan Dechant after RBI’s by Jake Curran and Ivan Gutierrez.

The fourth inning had two more Blues players score as Tomlin batted home Jones, followed by Rodriguez, whose sacrifice fly to right field scored Tomlin to go up 5-1 after the fourth.

The fifth inning saw Ulysses come back to tie as Charles Garnette, Maravilla, Lumley, and Waite all took advantage of three hits in the inning to all make it home and get back in the game.

The sixth inning again had four runs,

this time by Finney County. The Blues had two hits in the inning to score Deherrera, Tomlin, Rodriguez, and Dechant.

However, the big plays would prove crucial in the seventh inning as Maravilla and Lumley again scored before Jake Curran came in to replace Edgar Montoya at pitcher.

Curran delivered a clutch performance in relief as he held Ulysses to just one run with the bases loaded. Garnette fouled out to catcher Daven Acker, then Mason Chavez flew out to centerfield to get the Blues out of a tight jam and escape with the sweep.

“You cannot play good every single day when you come out here,” said Blues coach Lyle Befort. “Tonight we were off, but you’ve got to be good enough to get out there and get a win, and that’s what they did.”

Befort was impressed with Curran’s courage at the very end.

“You gotta get guys that want the ball,” said Befort. “Jake wanted the ball at the end of the game, and we gave it to him.”

The Blues will be back on the road Friday through Sunday competing in the Pueblo, Colo., tournament.

Wild finish in Royals’ 2-1 win CLEVELAND (AP) — Pinchrunner Elliot Johnson scored from third base on a wild pitch by reliever Matt Albers in the ninth inning, giving the Kansas City Royals a 2-1 win over the Cleveland Indians on Monday night.

Johnson sprinted home and slid in safely after Albers’ pitch got under catcher Carlos Santana and went all the way to the backstop.

The Royals have won 11 of 13 and in getting to .500 for the first time since May 21 moved past Cleveland into second place in the AL Central.

Aaron Crow (3-2) struck out two after putting the potential go-ahead run at third in the eighth. Greg Holland stranded the tying run at third in the ninth for his 15th save in 17 tries. ryan Shaw (0-1) couldn’t protect a 1-0 lead for Cleveland starter Carlos Carrasco, charged with just one run and four hits in 7 1-3 innings.

Santana homered in the sixth off Kansas City starter James Shields.

The Indians got the tying run to third in the ninth when Michael Bourn doubled and advanced on a wild pitch. But Holland struck out Mike Aviles and retired Jason Kipnis on an easy grounder to second to end it.

The Royals scored one run in the eighth and ninth to eke out the win.

With the score tied 1-all, Billy Butler opened the Kansas City ninth with a double off Shaw, who walked Lorenzo Cain and was pulled by manager Terry Francona for left-hander Rich Hill. David Lough dropped a bunt toward third that Hill fielded before losing his balance and falling in the infield grass.

Tough pill for Phil as elusive Open trophy slips away once again I

f you’re a golf fan, watching Sunday’s final round of the U.S. Open at Merion Golf Club might well be akin to watching a Greek tragedy.

In this case, Phil Mickelson was in the starring role, and if, indeed, he had been the lead in a Greek tragedy, we would have witnessed his slow death.

Hole by hole, hour by hour, golf fans watched Mickelson scramble his way to staying in the lead, or desperately trying to regain the lead of a tournament that he and his legion of fans so desperately want him to win.

It’s a well known fact that Phil, nicknamed Lefty, has never won the U.S. Open. Sadly, perhaps, he never will.

The clock, at age 43, is ticking for Mickelson.

He had his best opportunity on Sunday as he went into the final round leading by one shot and on a tough, battle-tested Merion Golf Club layout that brutalized the best players in the world, all he had to do was play even par golf (70) and victory would be his.

In the end, all he needed to

do was shoot a 1-over-par 71 and the elusive Open trophy would be hoisted by the popular Mickelson.

In golf, everyone talks about how harsh the game’s ‘gods’ treat players. They have no favorites.

The great Sam Snead, winner of 82 PGA Tour events, never won the U.S. Open. He won the Masters three times, the (British) Open once and the PGA Championship on three occasions.

Arnold Palmer, perhaps the most famous and admired golfer of all time, won the U.S. Open once, the British Open twice and the Masters four times.

But never grabbed the PGA’s Wanamaker trophy.

Tom Watson, who challenged the great Jack Nicklaus during the 1970s and early 1980s,

won the Masters twice, the British Open five times and the U.S. Open once. But, again like Palmer, never won the PGA Championship.

Then there is Greg Norman, the Shark, from Australia. A swashbuckling, riverboat gambler type of golfer who won the British Open twice, but in eerily fashion to Mickelson, had his share of heartbreak. If hearts can be broken on a golf course, consider that Norman would have been in line for transplants multiple times.

He lost one British Open in a playoff. He lost the Masters in a playoff when Larry Mize holed a miracle chip shot. He faltered in the final round, giving up a six shot lead to Nick Faldo to lose another green jacket at the Masters. He lost a playoff to Fuzzy Zoeller in 1975 for the U.S. Open title and he also lost to Paul Azinger in a playoff for the PGA Championship.

He had more heartbreak than did women fawning over Elvis Presley.

Now comes Mickelson, the latest heir to the golf god’s trag-

edy list.

Three times he has won the Masters, a course well-suited to his riverboat gambler style of play. He has won a PGA Championship once.

Yet, like Norman, his runnerups have become more the story than his wins.

Six times now, he has either finished sole second or tied for second at the U.S. Open. He has finished second in the British Open once.

The irony in all of this is that Snead, Palmer, Watson, Norman, and Mickelson are all members of the World Golf Hall of Fame.

Great careers over many yeaers, but all missing a championship they coveted.

Only five golfers in the history of the game have won the current Grand Slam — Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. None have won all four of golf’s majors in a single calendar year. Only Woods held all four titles simultaneously and that came during his run of 2000 and 2001.

The only player to have won

what was then the Grand Slam — Robert T. Jones Jr., aka Bobby Jones — who accomplished it in 1930 at the age of 28 when he won both the British Open and Amateur, and the U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur. Since he was an amateur, he was ineligible to play in the PGA Championship, but he was beating all the great professionals of the day when he won both the British and U.S. Opens.

Will Phil win the U.S. Open?

Only time and history will tell us.

Hale Irwin won the U.S. Open at age 45 in 1990. Nicklaus won the Masters at age 46 in 1986.

Julius Boros, at age 48, won the PGA Championship in 1968.

So, there is time. But not much.

Identifying PTSD first step in treatment KATHY MITCHELL MARCY SUGAR

traumatic event can develop PTSD. It wasn’t easy, but I eventually got the help I needed and am in a much better place. June 20 is PTSD Screening Day, and June is PTSD Awareness Month.

Anyone can go online and take a free and anonymous screening at www.

PTSDScreening.org to see whether their symptoms are consistent with those of PTSD. It can be hard to reach out and ask for help, but doing so can make a huge difference. — William Terry Dear Mr. Terry: Thank you for sharing your story with our readers. You are correct that anyone who has witnessed or experienced trauma can suffer from PTSD. This includes anyone affected by recent tragedies such as Sandy Hook, the

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Wish He’d Look for Another Job,” who is frustrated by a young co-worker. “Justin” can’t remember what was said the minute he hangs up the telephone, doesn’t pay attention to what he is doing, takes on no new responsibilities, makes the same mistakes over and over, texts his wife constantly and falls apart over every issue.

I would like to mention another possibility. I know a young man who needs constant teaching, doesn’t want to try new things, forgets almost instantly what he has been taught and rarely offers to do anything. He has a processing disorder.

He is a loving 30-yearold, but I don’t think he will ever hold a job unless special considerations are made for him. I hope that if he does get a job, it is with folks who are tolerant of his learning disability, although they may not know he has special needs.

Are you receptive to receipts?

Dear Readers: It seems many stores now offer electronic reciepts instead of paper ones, and they are becoming more commonplace.

How do you feel about these? Yea or nay?

Yea, if you don’t like the clutter of paper receipts, lose them or end up tossing them in a drawer. Less paper also is more environmentally friendly. So, emailed receipts are a good option.

You can create computer files for your receipts, print your own copies at home and place in a file, if you want to.

Nay to paperless means that you must make sure

your anti-virus software is updated, since some of the receipts may get caught in your spam filters.

Unwanted emails and spam may start clogging your inbox!

Also, the company may collect your email address “shopping habits,” among other information. This “data mining” of info, when merged with other Internet activity you do, can provide marketers with a gold mine of personal information, preferences and even what you look up on the Internet using some search engines.

When filing taxes, you may need receipts for your records, rebates or returns.

Boston Marathon and the tornadoes in Oklahoma.

The first step to getting help is identifying the problem.

We urge those who think their experience with trauma is impacting them to go to www.PTSDscreening. org and take a short, free, anonymous screening. You won’t be sorry.

Dear Annie: Can you tell me what is so wrong with a youngster sending an invitation to her aunt addressed to “Aunt Frances” instead of “Mrs. Frances Smith”? My sister gets all bent out of shape when my 10-year-old daughter addresses an envelope to her this way. — Wondering in Clinton Township Dear Wondering: Your sister should be amazed to receive a handwritten envelope from her niece altogether. It’s fairly rare these days. It’s perfectly OK for a young niece to write “Aunt Frances” on an envelope. Many aunts would be charmed.

However, one rule of etiquette is not to intentionally offend. Since you know your sister wants a more formal address, teach your daughter to write to her

Dear Annie: As a military war veteran and someone raised in the midst of inner-city violence, I have suffered from and learned a great deal about post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). There are many misconceptions about this common and treatable illness, and I want to make sure your readers know the truth about PTSD and how to get help if they need it.

When I got out of the service, I could only sit in certain positions in a room and go to certain places.

I couldn’t be in crowds or tolerate any kind of loud traffic noise (not easy for a New Yorker). I couldn’t sit next to a window. If anyone came up behind me to say hello, I would drop them to the ground, expecting an attack.

I didn’t recognize this at the time as PTSD. I know there are many others with stories like mine, and I want them to know that PTSD is a real illness with real treatment options. It is also important to know that this doesn’t only affect members of the military.
