Hospital on time, $2M in donations STEVEN SCHWARTZ steven@iolaregister.com

This is a preliminary drawing of a mural Harvey Peck will paint on a large, blank wall in the basement meeting room of Humboldt City Hall.

“The great news is the project is on time” Mary Ann Arnott said of the new Allen County Regional Hospital during Monday night’s Iola City Council meeting.

Members of the hospital’s board of trustees, United for Excellence fundraising campaign, and Ron Baker, ACH chief executive officer, came before council members to update them on the progress of construction. Arnott said more than $2 million for equipment for the new hospital has been raised.

Following Arnott, Baker showed a PowerPoint presentation illustrating how far the hospital has come

thus far. Members of the city council then followed the presentation with questions regarding the hospital, including the Affordable Care Act. “We’ve always had to adjust to new healthcare regulations,” Baker said. The hospital must remain flexible to new limitations, he said, as well as the fact things may change again in the future.

Humboldt opens range, picks painter

By BOB JOHNSON bob@iolaregister.com

HUMBOLDT — The police department firing range here will be used with council members’ blessings for hands-on training in concealed carry classes.

The range is at the south end of Camp Hunter Park, in the southeast part of town and adjacent to an area where brush, limbs and grass clippings may be placed. It will be open from 7 a.m. to dusk, under new rules adopted by council members Monday night.

The area had been locked and users were required to obtain a key at City Hall or the water plant, an aside many found to be a nuisance. Also, surveillance cameras will be installed to ensure the firing range is used properly, as well as parks throughout the city.

Jeff Collins, a Humboldt police officer and gun shop owner, will use the range for concealed carry classes he teaches. He expects to use the range one hour on one Saturday a month, during which time the dumping grounds for yard refuse will be closed as a

safety precaution.

Loren Korte, of Personal Service Insurance, which provides coverage for city employees, recommended Collins, and any other private user of the range, have $500,000 liability insurance.

Collins told City Administrator Larry Tucker he had $250,000 in liability insurance and that buying more would be prohibitive; council members agreed $250,000 was sufficient.

USD 258 hires nurses KAYLA BANZET kayla@iolaregister.com

Health was the main topic of the Humboldt board of education meeting Monday night.

The board voted to hire two school nurses.

The two nurses are Wendy Froggatte and Megan Anderson. Froggatte will be available to the schools for three days a week while Anderson will be available for two days a week.

Board members also agreed to cancel their June 24 meeting and move the July 8 meeting to July 15. The meeting time will still be 7:30 p.m. that day.

Two board members were recognized with plaques during the meeting for their service on the board. Don Hauser and Larry Mendoza will step down from the board at the first of July. Kevin Heisler

and Andy Seufert were elected to take the members’ place.

Other items on the agenda were the approval of the superintendent’s year end budget transfers and the 2013-2-14 classified and administrative contract proposals.

The board spent 20 minutes in executive session to discuss non-elected personnel.

K.B. Criss, Humboldt superintendent, spoke to the board briefly on the update of the new sports complex. Progress of the complex is moving along and a date for a grand opening was discussed but not yet set.

Other items on the superintendent’s report included applying for a grant to put Wi-Fi on the water tower so kids can have Internet access to do assignments at home.

Also the possibility of a safe room for shelter during bad weather was mentioned.

Opposition to birth control pill dropped NEW YORK (AP) — After setting off a storm of criticism from abortion rights groups upset that a Democratic president had sided with social conservatives, the Obama administration said it will comply with a judge’s order to allow girls of any age to buy emergency contraception without prescriptions.

But in doing so, at least one opponent of easy access to the contraception thinks the president is buckling to political pressure, rather than making the health of girls a priority.

The Justice Department notified U.S. District Judge Edward Korman on Monday that it will submit a plan for compliance. If he approves it,

the department will drop its appeal of his April ruling.

According to the department’s letter to the judge, the Food and Drug Administration has told the maker of the pills to submit a new drug application with proposed labeling that would permit it to be sold “without a prescription and without age or point-ofsale prescriptions.” The FDA said that once it receives the application, it “intends to approve it promptly.”

Advocates for girls’ and women’s rights said the federal government’s decision to comply with the judge’s ruling could be a move forward for “reproductive justice” if the FDA acts quickly and puts emergency contraception See PILL | Page A6

Jury begins deliberations in deadly fire case KINGMAN, Kan. (AP) — Jurors began deliberations Monday in the first-degree murder case against a former Kansas lawman accused of killing his wife and setting their house on fire while their young sons slept down the hall.

Prosecutors in closing arguments Monday portrayed Brett Seacat, 37, as a manipulative man who used his law enforcement background to make it look like his wife shot herself. The defense tried to cast reasonable doubt by repeatedly pointing out that even an experienced coroner couldn’t decide whether the death was suicide or homicide.

The prevailing argument will determine whether jurors can reach a verdict on charges of first-degree murder, aggravated arson and two counts of child endangerment in the April 30, 2011 shooting death of 34-year-old Vashti Seacat. Jurors met for a half hour Monday and are expected to resume delibera-

tions today.

Seacat is a former Sedgwick County deputy who was an instructor at the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center when his wife’s body was found.

Prosecutors cited witness testimony that Vashti Seacat was happy on the day of her death and was making plans for her future after having filed for divorce just 16 days earlier. She had just paid for a parenting class as part of the divorce proceedings, bought concert tickets and made hotel reservations for an upcoming trip.

Prosecutor Amy Hanley told jurors Vashti Seacat wouldn’t have endangered the couple’s two young sons, ages 2 and 4, by setting fire to the house.

But the defense recounted her multiple bouts of depression dating back to high school, her refusal to take medication for depression recommended by her doctor and her injections of a diet drug known to cause depression as a side effect.

Defense attorney Rog-

er Falk recounted his client’s testimony on the witness stand and how it was bolstered by the evidence in the case, including a suicide note

“

over whose validity experts disagree.

Addressing the impending divorce as a motive, Falk noted the couple had seriously discussed divorce in 2007 and 2009 and had briefly separated.

Seacat’s attorney told jurors the evidence, including burns and blisters on his feet, bolstered his client’s testimony. He methodically offered possible explanations for much of the state’s evidence as it related to either Seacat’s work at the law enforcement center or his own police training.

Prosecutors contend that the day before his

also noted a Powerpoint presentation on arson investigation was on the table on the night of the fire.

Seacat had testified the overhead projector was used for a lesson on financial fraud, and said the arson material was scrap paper he had used from an old class he took.

Prosecutors scoffed at the notion.

“Has it dawned on you yet how many coincidences or how many things that are bad luck you are going to have to accept in this case to believe his side of the story?” Hanley said to jurors.

Program initiated to reduce farm pollution

By STEVE KARNOWSKI Associated Press

ST. PAUL, Minn.

(AP) — Four Minnesota watersheds have been selected to test a firstin-the nation voluntary pilot project that offers farmers incentives to reduce water pollution from their operations in exchange for protection from tighter future regulations, federal and state officials announced Monday.

U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack joined Gov. Mark Dayton and other officials at the University of Minnesota to announce details

of the Minnesota Agricultural Water Quality Certification Program.

Farmers who sign up must agree to adopt good conservation practices to control soil erosion and the runoff of manure, fertilizers and insecticides. In return, they’ll get the guaranteed certainty that they won’t be subjected to stricter rules for 10 years as long as they meet their obligations.

Technical and financial assistance will be available.

The pilot areas are the Whitewater River watershed in southeastern Minnesota, the Middle

Sauk River watershed in central Minnesota, the Elm Creek watershed in south-central Minnesota and the Whiskey Creek watershed in the northwest. The immediate goal is to use these small areas to refine the program, then take it statewide within three years and eventually nationwide.

Vilsack said he expects other states will want to emulate the voluntary model. He said it marks a new kind of relationship between the regulators and the regulated. The former Iowa governor also jokingly added fuel to the Minnesota-Iowa rivalry in the process.

“I can guarantee you I am going to be talking to Iowans about this, and how embarrassed I was that I had to be in Minnesota to make this announcement, alright? And hopefully they will follow suit.

And then we’ll go down to Missouri and talk to the folks in Missouri and say ‘how can you let Minnesota and Iowa do something?’ All of a sudden it will sweep across the Midwest, and then ultimately other regions of the country,” he said.

The program is the product of an agreement the state and federal government signed last year. The Legislature appropriated $3 million from the Clean Water Legacy sales tax fund to launch the program and to gain access to $6.5 million in federal funding.

The four areas were selected from 12 that applied, and the terrain and types of agriculture practiced in them vary.

The Whitewater River watershed, for example, has plateaus where row crops dominate and

deep forested valleys where beef and dairy cattle graze. It’s also a popular tourist destination, with more than 100 miles of trout streams and two state parks. The Sauk River watershed covers more than half of Stearns County, the state’s top dairy producing county, and has over 14 cows per square mile.

Controlling water pollution from agriculture has been a political and technical challenge.

Agriculture is exempt from the federal Clean Water Act, so officials have emphasized voluntary measures and said they hope the new program provides assurances to the public that farmers are doing their part.

“Certification is not a free pass,” said state Assistant Agriculture Commissioner Matt Wohlman. “It does not exempt farmers from existing rules or requirements. But it does offer insurance against a moving regulatory goalpost in the future.”

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Common Core correct course Kansas legislators have concluded their 2013 session, which in one glaring respect is a shame.

School superintendents from across the state gathered in Topeka today to voice support for Common Core education standards during a meeting of the Kansas State Board of Education.

It would do many representatives and senators good to hear what the educators have to say.

The superintendents’ visit is two-pronged: In addition to supporting Common Core, they came to town to say the education board, not the Legislature, should deal with curriculum. Its members have the expertise; most legislators don’t.

Simply put, Common Core is a federally supported education program that includes national K-12 standards and federally funded standardized tests aligned with those standards.

Need for compatibility in today’s world is difficult to minimize. We live in a global society and if our children are to compete and succeed they must be wellversed academically, with what they learn not left to the whims of local pundits.

Being in touch with what is being taught nationwide, and able to move from school to school as so many children do today because of occupational mobility, is essential.

Common Core is not “this radical new program,” as some of those who oppose its implementation rail. It puts children, soon to be adults making decisions for all of us, in position to deal with a world that has seen significant change in the past half century. Technology, manipulation of oil markets and the emergence of such countries as China and India as economic giants have seen to that.

IT WOULD be better for Kansas legislators — as well as those in other states — to permit educators, who have spent a lifetime learning how to teach, take the lead in designing programs of learning.

While they are at it, it might be good for many who populate the Legislature to immerse themselves in lessons in mathematics and economics. They don’t seem to have been able to intertwine the common core principles of each the past couple of sessions.

40 Years Ago Week of June 9, 1963

Members of the school planning board for Allen County under the new school unification law were chosen last night at a meeting of selection committees representing the rural schools and Iola and Humboldt boards of education. Elected to represent the city districts on the sixman planning board are Gerald Buss, Iola, Howard Gilpin, Iola, and Ed Nord, Humboldt.

Rural area representatives are Richard Weast, Moran, Fred Cunningham, Elsmore, and Robert Townsend, Humboldt.

The new unified districts are scheduled to be in operation

by July 1, 1966.

Now that Americans are learning what really takes place behind locked doors, many officials claim they are eager to talk about it. “That’s a conversation that I welcome having,” President Obama said on Saturday. Senator Dianne Feinstein, chairwoman of the Intelligence Committee, said on Sunday that she was open to holding a public hearing on the subject now, a hearing next month, a hearing every month.

This newfound interest in openness is a little hard to take seriously, not only because of the hypocrisy involved but because neither official seems to want to do more than talk about being open. If the president wants to have a meaningful discussion, he can order his intelligence directors to explain to the public precisely how the National Security Agency’s widespread collection of domestic telephone data works. Since there’s not much point in camouflaging the program anymore, it’s time for the public to get answers to some basic questions.

Are the calls and texts of ordinary Americans mined for patterns that might put innocent people under suspicion?

Why is data from every phone

call collected, and not just those made by people whom the government suspects of terrorist activity? How long is the data kept, and can it be used for routine police investigations? Why was a private contractor like Edward Snowden allowed to have access to it? So far, no one at the White House seems interested in a substantive public debate.

Ms. Feinstein said on ABC News’s “This Week” program on Sunday that a secret court order on the phone-data program (leaked by Mr. Snowden) didn’t tell the full story. Anoth-

stein was rebuffed when she asked the court for redacted summaries of its opinions; as chairwoman, she should use her power to demand that the administration find ways to make the court even slightly more transparent.

For years, members of Congress ignored evidence that domestic intelligence-gathering had grown beyond their control, and, even now, few seem disturbed to learn that every detail about the public’s calling and texting habits now reside in a NSA database.

Representative Jim Sensen-

If the president wants to have a meaningful discussion, he can order his intelligence directors to explain to the public precisely how the National Security Agency’s widespread collection of domestic telephone data works. er court document explained the strictures on the program, but that wasn’t leaked, she said, sounding almost regretful that it remains under seal. Ms. Feinstein doesn’t have the authority to release it herself, but she could at least demand that the administration make it public.

While they’re at it, some of the opinions of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that made these datacollection programs possible could be released. Ms. Fein-

brenner, a Republican of Wisconsin, wrote a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. last week, saying that, as the author of the Patriot Act, he didn’t believe that the collection of phone records was consistent with his interpretation of the law. But, over the years, Mr. Sensenbrenner has been repeatedly warned by critics that the law was so broad that it was subject to precisely this kind of abuse.

Farming: Planting seeds of hope, over and over

By JOHN SCHLAGECK Kansas Farm Bureau

For Kansans June, July and August are months when some of us return to our roots and visit family in rural communities across the state. Some go back to help with wheat harvest, others go home to spend time visiting with friends they have grown up with. For all it’s a time to reflect and remember.

Many of us are one or even two generations removed from the farm but we still remember fondly our early years. A friend once told me, remembering our early life on the farm is an important part of saying good-bye.

For me summertime meant harvest. It still does.

I accompanied my dad and Uncle Bernie to the harvest fields when I was eight years old. I couldn’t wait to see those monster machines chew through the golden waves of grain.

By the time I was a teenager, I was a regular member of the harvest crew. My responsibility was to level off the load

in the back of one of our IHC trucks. In between unloading, a big handful of wheat — thoroughly chewed without swallowing — made a pretty big wad of gum. Not much flavor but one heck’uva chew.

Mom brought meals to the field in the family car and we had the chance to eat her wonderful home cooking while

and seeing the critter looking back up at me … learning to hunt the wily ring-neck pheasant with our Irish setter, Red, something I still enjoy today … looking to the westward sky and watching the sun paint a masterpiece at the close of day … listening to the melodious meadowlark…darting through the summer grass

In between unloading, a big handful of wheat — thoroughly chewed without swallowing — made a pretty big wad of gum. Not much flavor but one heck’uva chew. sitting on the tailgate of our pick-up truck. What a treat.

The summer after I finished fifth grade, I started helping dad one-way plow our summer fallow ground. It took me another couple years before I could pull this heavy cultivating tool out of the ground.

This was before hydraulic cylinders.

Other things I remember … looking down a badger’s hole

during hot summer nights … and catching fireflies to make a lantern in one of Mom’s empty Mason jars.

Dad always watched the weather from our picture window on the west side of our house. You could easily see the Menlo elevator nine miles to the west across the pancake-flat, High Plains prairie. I’d help him watch, hope and pray that parched ground

would receive rain and cropcrushing storms would somehow skip our land.

Without question the greatest lesson we can learn from the land is hope. Crops and a bountiful harvest are never guaranteed. Drought always threatened my dad’s crops.

Too much rain meant harvest delays or crop-choking weeds.

Thunderstorms — the likes seen nowhere else in the world — often carried with them damaging winds and hail that could level a field of wheat in minutes.

The summer of my junior year at Sheridan Community High School, such a storm wiped out our wheat crop. Dad rode in the combine cab with me as we entered one of our fields a few days later. One round later we both looked back in the bin and saw less than a fourth of it filled with wheat. It should have been full half way through the field.

After we completed the first round, Dad told me to let him off and he left the field. As he walked away, I saw him dry his eyes. He couldn’t stand to see

the crop he’d work so hard to grow hailed into the ground.

Two and a half months later on Sept. 15 — he always started wheat seeding then — we were out in our fields planting for the next year. He always had hope.

I learned at an early age that hope is not wishful thinking of harvest success. Rather, hope is the action of planning and planting seeds. For some, harvest may not occur every year, but the seeds of hope must be planted if there is even the thought of a next year’s harvest.

There are many other memories I have of growing up on a farm, too numerous to mention in this column. As I continue to work with farmers, I am reminded that they continue to love and learn from their land. Those of us who could not stay on the land, cherish the time we spent there. We have benefited from this experience — the lessons learned on the land will nourish us wherever we are planted.

The meeting was called to order by parent Bill Hobbs. The flag salute and 4-H pledge were led by Olivia Bannister.

Parents helped lead sections of the meeting.

Parent song leaders Les Weide and Tony Smith, with the help of Khrystal Smith, led the club in singing “If

You’re Happy and You Know It.� Roll call was answered by “who is your super hero and why.�

The minutes were read by parent secretary Lisa Wicoff, and the treasurer’s report was given by parent, Gina Powe.

Olivia Bannister gave the reporter’s update.

Wicoff gave the council report and parliamentarian’s reports and the

importance of attending meetings was stressed.

The leader’s report was given by Terri Kretzmeier. Parent Anita Roloff gave the program for the next meeting. The conservation committee report was given by Hobbs. The safety report was given by Wicoff and Roloff gave the service report. The health report was given by Clara Wicoff. The money mak-

ing report was given by Roloff.

Club members voted to give scholarships for state camps.

Kalibre Smith gave a talk about a toy tractor he made. Lisa Wicoff gave a demonstration for the club on how to make French toast.

tion system and how it contributes to the profitability of their operation.

The survey, conducted by colleagues at several land grant universities who make up the Beef Reproduction Task Force, will give animal scientists a better understanding of practices that beef producers use in conjunction with AI and synchronization of estrus. The team would like to hear from those who use AI for their own operation as well as those who provide AI services to others.

Take the survey at: https://online. ksu.edu/Survey/ t a k e / t a k e S u r v e y. do?offeringid=2087 05.

Most of the survey questions are simple to answer. Some of the questions will allow producers to share what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned using AI. Most people should be able to complete the survey in 10 to 20 minutes.

One respondent will receive 50 Estrotect Heat Detection Patches.

The survey results will

be available at www.beefrepro.info later this year.

More information about the Beef Reproduction Task Force is available at http://beefrepro. info. The task force includes animal scientists from K-State, University of Nebraska, Iowa State University, South Dakota State University, University of Florida, University of Illinois, University of Missouri and University of Idaho. If producers are interested in participating in an on-farm demonstration, please contact the Fort Scott office of the Southwind Extension District â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 620-223-3720. We will be hosting straw ammonization sites as well as crop residue grazing trials; producers who are interested in taking part in the demonstrations should get their name on the list. These will be under the direction and guidance of the Area and State specialists and the information gained will be compared and compiled with results from other Kansas locations.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to be out in the sun. But the sun can be dangerous to skin. Most people know that too much sun can cause sunburn, and that sunscreens help to prevent skin cancer.

But there are other details which are often surprising even to savvy consumers.

Did you know that some sunscreens protect against only the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ultraviolet B (UVB) rays and not its ultra violet A (UVA) rays? Or that no sunscreen completely blocks UV radiation and that other protections are needed too?

Or, that no sunscreens are waterproof ?

Consumers purchasing sunscreen products will notice some new labeling as a result of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rules. Products which meet testing standards may be labeled as â&#x20AC;&#x153;broad spectrum,â&#x20AC;? meaning they offer protection against both UVB and UVA rays. All sunscreen products offer protection against UVB rays, which are the primary cause of sunburn. But both UVB and UVA rays contribute to suninduced skin cancer and premature skin aging. Based on scientific studies, the FDA has determined that broad spectrum sunscreens with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 15 can help reduce the risk of skin cancer and premature skin aging when used with sun protective measures.

Sunscreens that are not broad spectrum or that lack an SPF of at least 15 must now carry a warning statement indicating they do not help prevent skin cancer or early skin aging.

A second labeling regulation deals with claims of being water resistant. The label must also designate whether the product is protective for 40 or for 80 minutes while swimming or sweating.

Manufacturers may no longer make claims that their sunscreens are â&#x20AC;&#x153;waterproof â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;sweatproof.â&#x20AC;?

Products may no longer be identified as â&#x20AC;&#x153;sunblocksâ&#x20AC;? or claim instant protection or protection for more than two hours without reapplying.

Other tips consumers need to follow include: â&#x20AC;˘ Apply sunscreen at least 15 minutes before

Anne Ludlum Extension Agent for Family and Consumer Sciences sun exposure.

â&#x20AC;˘ Although people with pale skin and light hair are most vulnerable, people of every shade are susceptible to sunburn and skin cancer. â&#x20AC;˘ Keep infants under six months of age out of the sun. â&#x20AC;˘ No sunscreen stops all UV rays. Limit sun exposure, particularly between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rays are strongest. â&#x20AC;˘ Maintain caution on overcast days because UV rays can penetrate cloud cover. â&#x20AC;˘ A variety of factors cause different amounts of UV radiation to reach different parts of the earth at any given time. You can find the strength of solar UV radiation on a given day in a particular zip code at a UV Index report issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Weather Service â&#x20AC;&#x201C; www.epa.gov/sunwise/uvindex.html. â&#x20AC;˘ Reapply sunscreen at least every two hours; more often if you are swimming or sweating.

Be sure you and your family are safe every day in the sun.

The American Cancer Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awareness campaign slogan is a reminder of the four key ways to prevent sun-related skin cancer. â&#x20AC;˘ Slip on a shirt. â&#x20AC;˘ Slop on broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher. â&#x20AC;˘ Slap on a widebrimmed hat. â&#x20AC;˘ Wrap on sunglasses.

Have a fun and safe summer! For more information or answers to questions about health and wellness topics, contact Ann Ludlum in K-State Research and Extensionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Southwind District office in Fort Scott at 620-223-3720 or aludlum@ksu.edu.

range previously, some concerns of residents in the area earlier brought it to the attention of council members. The issue then went to the Planning Commission because zoning was involved. The area is zoned residential, which technically precludes commercial activity, which Collins’ concealed carry class is. The Planning Commission recommended an exception.

As for concealed carry of weapons in city buildings, council members unanimously instructed

Tucker to send a letter to the attorney general’s office that will give city staff until Jan. 1 to study whether Humboldt wants to allow citizens to carry guns into buildings.

Options are to allow concealed carry or provide metal detectors and personnel at entrances to frisk people coming in and hold weapons. However, if a security plan is proposed, the city may be eligible for a four-year exemption from the law, an approach that has been taken elsewhere.

IMPROVEMENTS, required by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, will be made to the sewer plant, amounting to about $100,000 this year.

Council members approved a bid by BG Consultants, Emporia, of $10,100 to oversee the project. BG’s bid was $1,550 higher than one made by Wilson and Company, Salina, at $8,550.

BG was recommended because, in Tucker’s words, the city has a comfort level with the company from having

the FDA is taking an important step to reduce unintended pregnancies and put women in control of their futures,” Hogue said in a statement.

But an opponent of the contraception plan, at the anti-abortion Family Research Council, criticized the government for not sticking with its decision to appeal.

“We’re very concerned and disappointed at the same time because what we see here is the government caving to political pressure instead of putting first the health and safety of girls (and) parental rights,” said Anna Higgins, director of the council’s Center for Human Dignity.

The government had appealed the judge’s underlying April 5 ruling, which ordered emergen-

cy contraceptives based on the hormone levonorgestrel be made available without a prescription, over the counter and without point-of-sale or age restrictions.

It had asked the judge to suspend the effect of that ruling until the appeals court could decide the case. But the judge declined, saying the government’s decision to restrict sales of the morningafter pill was “politically motivated, scientifically unjustified and contrary to agency precedent.” He also said there was no basis to deny the request to make the drugs widely available.

The government had argued that “substantial market confusion” could result if the judge’s ruling were enforced while appeals were pending, only

to be later overturned.

Last week, an appeals court dealt the government a setback by saying it would immediately permit unrestricted sales of the two-pill version of the emergency contraception until the appeal was decided.

The morning-after pill contains a higher dose of the female hormone progestin than is in regular birth control pills. Taking it within 72 hours of rape, condom failure or just forgetting regular contraception can cut the chances of pregnancy by up to 89 percent, but it works best within the first 24 hours. If a girl or woman already is pregnant, the pill, which prevents ovulation or fertilization of an egg, has no effect.

The FDA was preparing in 2011 to allow over-

The route will coincide somewhat with previously marked bike routes that meander through town to city parks.

In another public project, Harvey Peck will paint a mural on a blank wall in the City Hall’s basement, in a room used for council and many other meetings.

The Rotary Club meets in the room and its members came up with the idea for the mural.

Peck, a muralist of note in Humboldt, initially said health problems prevented him from doing the mural, but with improved health more recently he could.

Several employees were recognized for years of service, and those with 10 or more years were given cash bonuses. Patricia Sanchez, utility foreman, led the way at 30 years and a $400 bonus.

The FDA announced in late April that Plan B One-Step, the newer version of emergency contraception, the same drug but combined into one pill instead of two, could be sold without a pre-

scription to those age 15 or older. Its maker, Teva Women’s Health, plans to begin those sales soon.

Sales had previously been limited to those who were at least 17.

The judge later ridiculed the FDA changes, saying they established “nonsensical rules” that favored sales of the Plan B One-Step morning-after pill and were made “to sugarcoat” the government’s appeal.

H Pill Continued from A1 over the counter without restriction.

“It’s about time that the administration stopped opposing women having access to safe and effective birth control,” Annie Tummino, coordinator of the National Women’s Liberation and lead plaintiff in a lawsuit over unrestricted access to the morning-after pill, said in an emailed statement.

She said women and girls should have “the absolute right to control our bodies without having to ask a doctor or a pharmacist for permission.”

K-State rally falls short in CWS bid CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Danny Hayes hit a tworun home run and Oregon State advanced to the College World Series with a 4-3 victory over Kansas State on Monday night in the finale of the Corvallis super regional.

Ben Wetzler (9-1) struck out five, walked five and allowed three earned runs over 7 2-3

innings, and opening-game starter Matt Boyd held off the Wildcats to earn his first save of the season and send the Beavers to Omaha for the first time since 2007, when Oregon State won its second consecutive national title.

“We’ve got an incredible team with incredible guys.

Guys who know how to fight,

guys who know how to put extra runs on when you’re already up,” Oregon State outfielder Michael Conforto said. “I think we’ve got the full package if we do all the things right.”

Oregon State (50-11) jumped ahead in the second inning when Hayes followed a leadoff walk by Dylan Da-

vis with a two-run home run to right-center.

“I got lucky with two strikes that he threw one right down the middle, it was a fastball,” Hayes said. “I was a little antsy my first at-bat. I probably swung at a ball that was literally over my head.

Bruins, Blackhawks tangle for Stanley Cup

BY LARRY LAGE AP Hockey Writer

Hockey fans who endured another lockout are in for a treat that’ll cap a sprint of a season.

The Chicago Blackhawks and Boston Bruins are set to compete for the Stanley Cup for the first time in the NHL’s first final featuring Original Six teams since 1979.

There have been seven champions in the salary-cap era, and the team that hoists the Cup this month will become the league’s only twotime winner of the new era.

Here’s a look at five things to watch when the puck drops Wednesday night in the Windy City for Game 1 of what will likely be a long, high-paced,

hard-hitting series with a blend of jaw-dropping talent and wince-inducing grit. ___

SPEED VS. STRENGTH: Chicago has some of the fastest forwards and defensemen on the planet. Boston, though, is the toughest team in hockey. Something’s got to give.

Blackhawks superstar Patrick Kane had a hat trick in his last game, the third goal 11:40 into double overtime eliminated the defending champion Los Angeles Kings in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals. But if the cat-quick Kane runs into Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara, he’s in trouble.

Royals topple Tigers KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Usually reserved on the mound, Aaron Crow let loose after striking out Miguel Cabrera to end the seventh with two runners on base.

Jeremy Guthrie pitched impressively into the seventh inning, Salvador Perez hit a tworun triple and the Kansas City Royals beat the Detroit Tigers 3-2 Monday night for their sixth straight victory.

“Aaron’s facing the best hitter to walk on this planet,” Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer said. “The way he came in and showed no fear, went right after him with the crowd standing up on every pitch.

That’s a big moment right there. Crow is usually not a big fan of showing emotion right there, but he got fired up.

It just fires up the whole team at that point.”

Guthrie (7-3) limited the Tigers to a two-run homer by Cabrera in 6 1-3 innings in helping the Royals to extend their longest winning streak since they won seven straight in September 2011. He gave up six hits and walked three.

Crow replaced Guthrie after he gave up a single to Avisail Garcia and he hit Andy Dirks with an 0-2 pitch. Crow retired Torii Hunter on a fly to shallow right and struck out Cabrera swinging to end the threat.

“The slider was probably the best pitch I’ve thrown all year,” Crow said of the pitch he used to strike out Cabrera.

“I haven’t thrown that many good ones. That’s what we’re paid to do. It’s a situation you don’t want to be in.”

The Tigers managed just one two-out single off four Kansas City relievers after Guthrie exited with Crow logging the biggest two outs.

Cabrera, who tops the American League with 90 hits and 69 RBIs, hit his 18th home run in the second after Hunter doubled.

Perez’s one-out triple in the third by diving center fielder Garcia scored Alcides Escobar and Hosmer after they each singled. Lorenzo Cain’s two-out infield single scored Perez with the go-ahead run.

Doug Fister (5-4), who is 0-3 in five starts since a victory May 14 over Houston, went the distance. He allowed three runs on nine hits.

Greg Holland worked a flawless ninth for his 13th save in 15 opportunities.

“Just a phenomenal job of pitching on our part,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

The Royals are 7-2 in June after losing 20 of 28 games in May. The pitching staff has a 1.44 ERA in June.

Action heats up at Humboldt

By SCOTT STEWART

HUMBOLDT — After every feature race at Humboldt Speedway, a select number of top-five cars are required to undergo post-race technical inspections. Items checked change each week, so it’s in a driver’s best interest to “keep it legal.”

Two drivers were unable to do so after a thrilling factory stock feature, including the race winner. Scott Stuart, who claimed the checkered flag, was disqualified, as was fifth-place finisher Patrick Kay. That gave the victory to Gary Langworthy Jr. Jay Lamons Jr. wound up second, Jeremy Wilson in third and David Matlock in fourth. Tim Phillips was fifth.

Weather may come into play at U.S. Open

BY DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

ARDMORE, Pa. (AP) — The most popular equipment at Merion was not a golf club but a squeegee.

More heavy rain at the U.S. Open flooded a bunker by the 11th green and filled fairways with large puddles and tiny stream. The course was closed for four hours during the first full day of practice, and then shut down for good later in the afternoon.

Brandt Jobe played three holes when he heard a horn to stop play.

Jim Herman managed to play one hole. Practice rounds are important because only a dozen or so players have ever seen this 100-year-old course, which has not hosted a U.S. Open in 32 years.

Workers were busy running squeegees across the greens and fairways during the afternoon before another downpour arrived.

“After the rain this morning, it’s going to be very sloppy now,” Ernie Els said. “You’re not going to see a firm U.S. Open this year, I’m sorry.

I don’t care if they get helicopters flying over the fairways, it’s not going to dry up. We’re going to have a soft golf course this week — all week.”

The forecast was for mostly dry conditions today and Wednesday, followed by a 40 percent

chance of rain on Thursday for the opening round.

Merion received more than 3 inches of rain on Friday, and Monday’s downpours — three of them — didn’t help. The low point on the East course is the 11th hole, and a bunker was filled with water from an overflowing stream.

Course superintendent Matt Shaffer said the base sand was left alone. Workers removed the silt and put about three tons of new sand in the bunker, tamped it down and “we were ready to go.”

For now, officials were hopeful.

Shaffer said Merion has had two big rains, and both times 11th green has stayed above water. And while there were tiny streams running through fairways and large pools of water on sections of the greens, the water appeared to drain quickly.

“This golf course is not built on sand, so it’s got the heavier soils,” USGA executive director Mike Davis said. “But it is maybe the best draining golf course I have ever seen. If you walk this course, you know there’s hardly any flat lies at Merion.”

Merion is 6,996 yards on the scorecard, the shortest U.S. Open course since Shinnecock Hills in 2004. The rough is thicker than usual

compared with most recent U.S. Opens, though soft greens are a recipe for low scoring no matter the golf course.

Congressional was softened significantly by rain, and Rory McIlroy shattered the scoring

record at 16-under 268 for an eight-shot win. As for the week, it rained so much at Bethpage Black in 2002 that the tournament barely finished 72 holes on Monday, with Lucas Glover winning.

With soft fairways, it

becomes more of a target.

“Obviously with it being a little soft, it becomes a little more simple than what it was,” Adam Scott said. “The ball is just going to stop where it lands.”

fence in right-center to score Ryan Barnes from first base. That was all for Kansas State starter Jake Matthys (9-2), who struck out five and allowed three runs on three hits in his first ca-

“Their starting pitching just really held us down and we could never get any momentum until late in the game,” Wildcats coach Brad Hill said.

on the ice for at least the start of shifts. The adjustments both Cupwinning coaches make on special teams will be pivotal. Both teams have scored a relatively modest seven goals on the power play. Chicago has been the best when short-handed, killing 95 percent of its penalties.

Oregon State added another run in the fifth when Kansas State shortstop Austin Fisher couldn’t handle a slow roller with two outs, allowing Beavers catcher Jake Rodriguez to score from third.

Kansas State (4519) threatened with back-to-back singles to lead off both the sixth and seventh innings. After Ross Kivett and Tanner Witt led off the sixth with hits and a double play moved Kivett to third, Jared King hit an RBI single to put the Wildcats on the board.

Kansas State pulled within a run in the eighth when Blair

DeBord hit a two-run double into the left field corner to score King and Fisher. The Beavers turned to Boyd, a onetime reliever-turnedstarter, who threw 123 pitches on Saturday. With the tying run on second, R.J. Santigate singled to left, Conforto threw out DeBord at home to preserve the lead.

“This ride came up just one game short. Give credit to Oregon State.

Good team. They’ve got some great arms,” Kivett said.

Oregon State will open the College World Series against Mississippi State on Saturday.

is nearly a foot taller and more than 75 pounds heavier than Kane. Chara is also pretty agile as he showed, laying on his stomach and swatting away a shot with his left glove to seal a sweep of Pittsburgh in the Eastern Conference finals. ___

BETWEEN THE PIPES: No one wins a Stanley Cup without a great goaltender — or at least one who is playing great during the playoffs — and both teams have goalies playing their best hockey at a perfect time for teams that weren’t counting on them the last time they won a championship. Chicago’s Corey Crawford and Boston’s Tuukka Rask are 1-2 and 2-1 in two key categories this postseason. Crawford has an NHL-low 1.74 goals-against average, just ahead of Rask’s 1.75 GAA. The Bruins are still playing in large part because Rask leads the league with a .943 save percentage and likewise, Crawford has kept the Blackhawks in it to win it by turning away .935 percent of the shots that make it to him.

___

COACHING COUNTS: Joel Quenneville and Claude Julien won’t play a shift, but they decide who plays when, and their choices will make for a game within the game each night. Quenneville will get to make the last change when the NHL’s top-seeded Blackhawks are at home for Games 1 and 2 and if necessary, Games 5 and 7. Quenneville can keep Kane and Toews away from Chara and Dennis Seidenberg when they’re

X-FACTORS: Chicago’s Bryan Bickell and Boston’s Nathan Horton have set themselves up to cash in as free agents this summer. Bickell has scored eight times this postseason — tying Patrick Sharp for the team lead — and has produced 13 points after having just nine goals and 23 points in the 48-game regular season. Horton has seven goals and 17 points — five points shy of his total from the shortened season — to trail only Krejci in postseason scoring in the entire league. The under-the-radar player — Bickell or Horton — who can keep it up might help his team hoist the Cup.

SHINING STARS: David Krejci has been simply sensational, leading the league with nine goals and 21 points this postseason. When the Bruins won the Cup in 2011 for the first time since 1972, he led them with 23 points. Krejci is a versatile scorer, who can slap a shot into the net, flick a wrist shot in the

Democrats push to hold Mass. Senate seat No bomb found on flight publican Scott Brown in one of the cycle's marquee Senate contests.

The Markey campaign's latest television ad takes direct aim at his opponent Gabriel Gomez’s claim that he’s a “new kind of Republican,” citing statements on an assault weapons ban, abortion and Social Security. Democrats have also been quick to point out support that Gomez’s campaign has gotten from national Republican organizations, which have said the Massachusetts race is the first step in their effort to retake control of the U.S. Senate.

Gomez, a former Navy SEAL who was born in Los Angeles to Colombian immigrants, has focused more on his biography while trying to out-campaign his Democratic rival. He’s selling voters on the idea of change, saying Markey’s 37 years in Congress is long enough.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Arizona Sen. John McCain have campaigned for Gomez in the state. But Gomez has otherwise sought to dis-

Hutch man faces prison WICHITA (AP) — A Hutchinson man faces a minimum of nine years in prison after being convicted of killing a Wichita woman.

Forty-eight-year-old Ronald Harner was convicted Monday in the June 2012 death of Jolie Crosby in her east Wichita home.

Sentencing is sched-

uled for July 31.

Prosecutors argued that Harner either intentionally shot Crosby or recklessly handled a revolver while the two were drinking at her home.

In statements to police, Harner said the gun discharged accidentally while he was unloading it.

or no longer supporting Markey and President Obama with the same intensity,” said Suffolk pollster David Paleologos.

Obama has a 57 percent approval rating in Massachusetts, the poll showed, down from 63 percent last month.

The memory of Brown’s upset win in a 2010 special election is still fresh for both sides.

The death last week of New Jersey Sen. Frank Lautenberg has created additional urgency for Democrats to hold the seat, or face seeing a second seat go to Republicans in a month. Gov. Chris Christie’s appointee to replace Lautenberg, fellow Republican Jeffrey Chiesa, is to be sworn in Monday.

The June 25 election was called after John F. Kerry resigned from the Senate to become secretary of State. Democrat Mo Cowan was appointed by Gov. Deval Patrick to serve as interim senator until voters chose a candidate to complete Kerry’s unexpired term.

The winner will face another election in 2014 for a full six-year term.

tance himself from the national GOP, saying in a speech last week that if he were elected, Republicans “will consider me to be a pain in the butt. And I am OK with that.”

Gomez has not had the same kind of national grass-roots support that Brown leveraged in his upset 2010 victory, when he vowed to be the 41st vote to block Obama’s proposed health care law. But a series of controversies in Washington may be proving a drag on Markey.

A Suffolk University poll released Monday afternoon showed Markey leading Gomez 48 percent-41 percent, with 10 percent undecided. The poll of 500 registered voters was conducted June 6 to 9. Markey led by 17 points in a Suffolk poll last month.

“Markey’s core ballot test number has fallen below 50 percent and recent Obama administration scandals, especially the Associated Press phone records scrutiny, have touched a nerve with likely voters who are holding back

PHOENIX (AP) — No explosives were found on a Southwest Airlines plane that was diverted to Phoenix with 143 passengers on board, authorities said.

The FBI said Monday that an afternoon flight from Los Angeles to Austin, Texas, landed in Phoenix after a “telephonic bomb threat” was made.

Laura Eimiller of the FBI’s Los Angeles field office says Flight 2675 left Los Angeles International Airport at 2:12 p.m. and was heading to Austin before the threat was received by telephone.

F-16s were scrambled out of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson to monitor the flight as a precaution as it flew into Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, according to NORAD officials.

Flight 2675 landed safely at about 3 p.m., and authorities in Los Angeles asked Phoenix police to check out the possible threat.

The plane’s crew and 143 passengers got off

Powerful tides drown 4 Vacationers unaware of Gulf ’s dangers GULF SHORES, Ala. (AP) — An Alabama city closed all of its beaches Monday after four men drowned in dangerous rip currents in the Gulf of Mexico in a two-day period.

Gulf Shores officials on Monday posted double red flags on all beaches in the city, meaning that extremely hazardous conditions are present and all waters are closed to the public.

Beaches in Gulf Shores were re-opened today under yellowflag conditions, meaning that moderate surf and/or currents were present, and swimmers should use caution, according to a telephone hotline for information on beach conditions.

The men who drowned were from Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky and Louisiana.

Matthew Hattaway, 25, of Bossier, La., was pronounced dead about 3 p.m. Sunday.

A relative spotted him floating in the surf, Baldwin County Coroner Stanley Vinson said.

John Hogue, 51, of Overland Park, died on the beach a few hours

“

WASHINGTON — With two weeks before Massachusetts votes in another special election for U.S. Senate, national Democrats are making a major play to retain the seat as a new poll shows a competitive race.

As part of the closing push, President Barack Obama will attend a rally Wednesday in Boston with Rep. Ed Markey, the Democratic nominee. Today, Vice President Joe Biden will join former Vice President Al Gore and Vicki Kennedy, widow of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, for a fundraiser in Washington to benefit the Grassroots Victory Fund, a joint committee helping Markey and state Democrats.

Over the weekend two of Markey’s House colleagues, Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida and Xavier Becerra of Los Angeles, were also holding events in the state. Democrats continue to see an upside in nationalizing the race in a state that Obama won handily last November, and where Elizabeth Warren unseated incumbent Re-

Authorities said those people were swimming off Fort Morgan Peninsula near Gulf Shores when they got into trouble.

On Monday night, Baldwin County sheriff's officials say they found 34-year-old Joshua Kimbrough of Bowling Green, Ky., on the Fort Morgan peninsula Monday night. His body was recovered more than 24 hours after he disappeared in the surf.

“You don’t see many locals out there swimming when it’s like that,” he said.

All passengers were interviewed by Monday evening, FBI special agent Manuel Johnson said in a statement.

Investigators were making all efforts to identify the caller who made the bomb threat, he said.

The investigation continued today and no arrest has been made, Johnson said.

Sky Harbor spokeswoman Julie Rodriguez said the plane was isolated on the tarmac away from terminals.

Flights took off and landed only on the airport's two south runways Monday evening due to the investigation, and some arrivals were delayed, Rodriguez said.

Harris thrills Tonys NEW YORK (AP) — The reviews are in: It was a great Tony Awards.

The dancing was inspired, the singing topnotch and the humor sly — and that’s just for the host.

Neil Patrick Harris once again proved how invaluable he is to the success of one of entertainment’s lesserwatched televised award shows on Sunday, and others may be paying attention.

“He’s completely the real deal, totally multitalented. When you’re doing a show about Broadway with someone who understands television and also Broadway, it’s a real unique opportunity,” said Glenn Weiss, who co-produced the Tonys with Ricky Kirshner.

“He can perform, he has great energy, but he cares about the theater and you can’t make that up,” Weiss said. Added Kirshner: “He really has fantastic instincts with what will work and what won’t.”

From the big, brash opening number that included the casts from nearly a dozen musicals to the closing song three hours later that featured him rapping with Audra McDonald to a reworked “Empire State of Mind,” it was Harris’ night.

While much of it was scripted, those who attended rehearsals learned that Harris is also a master at ad-libs, too. After all, he has won more Emmy Awards as host — two — than as an actor — one.

According to preliminary Nielsen figures released Monday, Harris helped the latest show’s viewership jump to 7.24 million people, its largest audience in four years, despite another “Mad Men” episode and an NBA finals game.

FHS installs wind turbines HAYS (AP) — Fort Hays State University could be generating electricity from wind turbines in the next few weeks.

After more than six years of planning and a price tag $9 million, work crews are installing two 400-foot wind turbines at the university in Hays.

The Hays Daily News reports crews began installing the first turbine last week. Fort Hays President Edward Hammond says the turbines should be operational

by Aug. 1.

Hammond estimated the project will save the university $600,000 the first year, and as much as $700,000 to $900,000 in subsequent years.

George Zimmerman, from left, listens in Seminole circuit court, with cocounsel Don West, jury consultant Robert Hirschhorn and defense attorney Mark O’Mara, on the first day of Zimmerman’s trial, in Sanford, Fla., Monday.

Jury selection proves challenging Trayvon Martin shooting a well-known case SANFORD, Fla. — After a methodical first day of jury selection in the Trayvon Martin murder trial Monday, one thing became clear: Even people who profess to pay little attention to the news have heard about the killing of the unarmed Miami Gardens teenager.

One potential juror, a female night-shift worker who loves game shows and “CSI: Miami,” recalled the now well-known image of Martin in a hooded sweatshirt.

Another woman, a recent Seminole County transplant from Chicago and lover of reality TV shows, said she remembers “people selling T-shirts and some kid died.”

And a third possible juror, the rare person sans cable television at home, nevertheless remembered broadcast images of defendant George Zimmerman’s head injuries — and Martin’s parents appearing on television.

“I’m not sure, but is that his mom?” the woman asked, nodding toward Sybrina Fulton, Martin’s mother, in the second row of the Seminole County courtroom.

Monday’s brief questioning of four potential jurors underscored the difficulty lawyers will have in finding citizens who are not swayed by the unprecedented publicity that has swirled around the case since Zimmerman fatally shot Martin during a struggle in February 2012.

And the trial’s start also marks the beginning of the road to justice for two families.

Martin’s family asked for prayers from the public.

“We waited over a year for the trial. We were patient for the arrest, and we will be patient for the trial,” Fulton said earlier in the day. “We will let the judicial system go through the process and ... however much time they need to present the case, we will be there, we have to sup-

port our son.”

And Robert Zimmerman Jr., brother of the accused, talked about the constant fear the family feels in the face of death threats. He said he believes jurors will clear his brother of second-degree murder.

“As a family, we’re very confident in the outcome of the case and very confident that the

17-year-old Martin on a rainy night at a Sanford gated community.

Martin had just returned from buying candy and a drink at a nearby convenience store. Prosecutors say Zimmerman, a self-proclaimed neighborhood watchman, “profiled” the teen and engaged in a violent scuffle, shooting Martin once in the

state will not be able to prove its burden,” Robert Zimmerman told reporters.

The road to a verdict, however, is likely to be a long one.

Today, prosecutors and defense attorneys will begin questioning 17 more jurors about pretrial publicity, and likely scores more after that. They need to choose six jurors and four alternates.

Even as the potential jurors answered questions — each insisting they could be unbiased — they admitted they were cognizant of the sea of television news trucks that idled in sprawling parking lots outside the criminal court, clogging traffic.

“I said, ‘Oh my God, I must be on Zimmerman,’” the first juror interviewed, a middle aged woman, told lawyers, when she realized her jury selection coincided with perhaps the biggest criminal case in Seminole County history.

One juror, a 65-yearold retiree, admitted his family told him to use his partial deafness to get out of jury selection. He didn’t. He did admit he believed the shooting “was the fault of both sides,” but he said he could serve on the jury.

“I could play golf but this is much more interesting,” he said with a smile.

Jury selection is expected to last a couple of weeks, about 16 months after Zimmerman shot and killed

chest.

Zimmerman, who cooperated with Sanford police, claimed the teen attacked him and he fired in self-defense as his head was being bashed into the concrete.

When Sanford police initially did not arrest Zimmerman, outrage grew as the Martin family and civil rights leaders called for his prosecution.

Eventually, prosecutors filed a charge of seconddegree murder against Zimmerman.

THE SAGA inflamed racial tensions in this small Central Florida town, where some black residents have long complained of unequal treatment by police.

And the case drew scrutiny of Florida’s self-defense law, which in 2005 was changed to eliminate a citizen’s duty to retreat before using deadly force when faced with harm.

Critics say the law encourages vigilantism.

But outside the courthouse Monday, there was no sign of the thousands who had attended rallies in Sanford last year. Only a handful of Trayvon Martin supporters gathered under the watch of reporters and deputies.

Inside court, a few spectators unaffiliated with the case had snagged seats through a lottery system.

Said Sanford train engineer John McClanahan, 60: “I get to see people on TV. That’s pretty cool.”

The mystery of the quaking car Dear Tom and Ray:

About three weeks ago, I was pulling into a parking space, and just before stopping I heard and felt what appeared to be a large impact. There was no one around and nothing to hit. I walked around the car and looked under it, but I could see no problems. Today I was pulling into a parking space and heard and felt what appeared to be an impact from another car. There were no cars around, nor objects that I could have hit. I did a walk around, but I could find nothing wrong. Both times, my dogs were in the car, and both times they became agitated. I have tried to reproduce the effect, but could not. If it had happened once, I could ignore it, but twice suggests that it will happen again. The next time, it could be at a higher speed. The first time, I was within a few feet from stopping, and I had just turned to the left.

The second time, I was a few feet from stopping, and I was turning to the right. The only thing the two incidents had in common was that I was nearly stopped. My limited knowledge of cars leaves me puzzled. Can you help?

— Bob

Car Talk

Tom and Ray Magliozzi RAY: Our limited knowledge of cars often leaves us puzzled, too, Bob. TOM: We should start by saying that we don’t know what’s wrong with your car. We’ll give you some ideas, but this is something that a mechanic is going to have to find for you using his eyes, ears, hands and tuchus.

RAY: Whenever there are strange noises or, more importantly, shak-

ing coming from the front end, there’s one thing we always check first: TOM: Whether the customer is up to date on his liability insurance premiums.

RAY: Right. Because shaking and quaking from the front end can mean that an important piece of your front suspension or steering assembly is worn out, which means a wheel could fall off. You don’t tell us the age of your car, Bob. But obviously, as a car gets older, chances of this sort of catastrophic failure go up.

TOM: So, ask a mechanic you trust to take a thorough look at the front end. Make sure your ball joints, wheel bearings and control arms, etc., are all in good shape and still firmly attached to the car.

RAY: If they are, my first guess would be that you have a front axle that’s binding up. That tends to happen when you make the sharpest turns — like

when parking.

TOM: The next thing I’d look at would be your motor mounts. If you have a broken motor mount or two, your engine and transmission literally can jump around inside the engine compartment.

And under certain circumstances, it could create jolting sensations as it jumps into or out of position.

RAY: You also could have a brake that’s sticking. You’re obviously using the brakes when you park, and if one of the calipers gets stuck, it could jolt the car when it gets unstuck.

TOM: The final thing to suspect would be the transmission. It could be something as simple as a rough downshift into first gear that you’re feeling.

But it would have to be awfully rough to do what you describe. And I can’t explain why it would happen only when you’re parking.

Sudoku is like a crossword puzzle, but uses numbers instead of words.

The puzzle is a box of 81 squares, subdivided into 3x3 cubes of 9 squares each. Some squares are filled in with numbers. The rest should be filled in by the puzzler. Fill in the blank squares allowing the numbers 1-9 to appear only once in every row, once in every column and once in every 3x3 box. One-star puzzles are for beginners, and the difficulty gradually increases through the week to a very challenging fivestar puzzle.
