HUMBOLDT CELEBRATES THE COWBOY WAY

Emails, divisions spoil Dem party Carolyn Whitaker had a whale of a time when Delbert Shields called her to the stage during the “Best of America by Horseback” concert in Humboldt Saturday evening. A banner proclaiming the U.S. “One Nation Under God” led off the afternoon parade of the cowboy festival. Counter clockwise from below left: Stephanie Layne, a Nashville performer from Northfield, Minn., brought prolonged applause when she sang at the concert; D.J.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Democrats who gleefully jeered Republican divisions last week awoke to a political mess of their own making today as party unity behind Hillary Clinton proved much harder to secure.

Gathering for their convention in Philadelphia, Democrats struggled to shake lingering bitterness among supporters of defeated rival Bernie Sanders and dealt with the aftermath of a leadership shakeup at the top.

The party announced today it would kick off its fourday spectacle with speeches from some of its most popular figures. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a progressive favorite, would deliver the convention keynote. Sanders and first lady Michelle Obama will also take the stage.

The kickoff lineup had long been intended to appeal to the party’s restive liberal wing, but that task has become unexpectedly urgent.

A trove of embarrassing leaked emails some said reveal an anti-Sanders bias at the supposedly neutral Democratic National Committee has ripped open some barelyheeled primary wound.

It was unclear whether the resignation Sunday of party See DEMOCRATS | Page A2

Democrats: Email hack shows divisions as convention starts Continued from A1

chief Debbie Wasserman Schultz would be enough to unite the party behind Hillary Clinton.

How the emails were stolen hasn’t been confirmed, but the Clinton campaign pointed the finger at Russian hackers.

“There is a consensus among experts that it is indeed Russia that is behind this hack of the DNC,” Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon told CNN this morning, arguing Russia was trying to influence the outcome of the U.S. election.

Trump dismissed the suggestion in a tweet: “The joke in town is that Russia leaked the disastrous DNC e-mails, which should never have been written (stupid), because Putin likes me.”

Republicans relished Democrats’ pre-convention tumult, just days after they bumped and bumbled through their convention, unsuccessfully trying to paper over their own division. GOP nominee Donald Trump declared on Twitter: “The Dems Convention is cracking up.”

Hillary Clinton Resistance to Clinton was on display during a demonstration Sunday as many thronged to a main thoroughfare and chanted, “Hell no, DNC, we won’t vote for Hillary.” Still many delegates, and Sanders himself, said they planned to fall in line, mindful of the Republican alternative.

Ohio’s Michael Skindell, a Sanders delegate, said Monday he plans to “strongly support the nominee of the party.”

DNC Vice Chair Donna Brazile, a veteran Democratic strategist who will lead the party on an interim basis after the convention, warned more leaked emails, and more apologies, could be coming.

For now, party leaders tried to make Wasserman Schultz’s exit

Debbie Wasserman Schultz as graceful as possible.

Clinton and President Barack Obama both quickly praised the departed party chief.

At the Republican convention, Trump cast himself as the law-andorder candidate in a nation suffering under crime and hobbled by immigration, sticking to the gloom-and-doom theme. As he accepted the Republican nomination, Trump said: “The legacy of Hillary Clinton is death, destruction, terrorism and weakness.”

In return, Clinton seized upon what she called the “fear and the anger and the resentment” from Trump and Republicans, dismissing Trump’s declaration that only he could fix the problems that afflict the nation.

Clinton was due to campaign in Charlotte, North Carolina on Monday. Ahead of her speech to the VFW, Clinton secured the endorsement of retired Gen. John Allen, former Deputy Commander of U. S. Central Command and a former Commander of the International Security Assistance Force, overseeing NATO troops in Afghanistan “I have no doubt that she is the leader we need at this time to keep our country safe, and I trust her with that most sacred responsibility of commander in chief.”

Obama will speak on Wednesday night. Other high-profile speakers include former President Bill Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden.

They will try to overcome the lingering resentment among Sanders supporters, which was intensified by both the leak of emails that appeared to show top DNC officials working against the Sanders campaign and include

one questioning his faith.

“If they think they can win without half the party, let them lose,” said Andrew Fader, 27, of New York, who was wearing a “Bernie” Tshirt on Sunday near the Liberty Bell. “And I’ll move to Canada.”

Kenny Madden, a Sanders delegate from Kentucky, said he doesn’t “think there can be anything Bernie can say that will bring people together. I think that’s going to have to come from the other side.”

Sanders endorsed Clinton two weeks ago after pressing for the

party platform to include a $15-an-hour minimum wage, debtfree college and an expansion of access to health care.

Clinton is within just days of her long-held ambition to become the party’s official presidential nominee. After the DNC released a slightly trimmed list of superdelegates — those are the party officials who can back any candidate — it now takes 2,382 delegates to formally clinch the nomination.

Clinton has 2,814 when including superdelegates, according to an Associated Press count.

Sanders has 1,893.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Commissioners knew better than to cut levy much Why, the caller asked, didn’t county commissioners use the increase in assessed valuation to lower our tax levy?

A good question that begs answering.

Two reasons, and they need to be answered in three-year perspective.

In 2014 the county’s assessed valuation was $99.5 million.

Commissioners knew it was going to increase for support of this year’s budget because Enbridge properties — a crude oil pipeline that runs diagonally across the county and a huge pumping station southeast of Humboldt — were to be added to the mix.

Enbridge’s assessed valuation of $38 million or so this year was more than was anticipated, but it was welcome after the county had to plod along with tight budgets for years.

Commissioners then could have reduced the general fund levy — it was 39.14 mills — but chose instead to create a capital improvement fund. When the ink had dried, the budget had about $2.5 million thus sequestered.

This year Enbridge’s valuation again was a mild surprise. With crude oil prices dropping precipitously, expectation was Enbridge’s valuation likewise would drop. However, it held relatively stable, shaking out at about $35 million.

That left the county assessed valuation for 2017 at $138.3 million, down less than $3 million from this year’s $141.1 million.

Back to the question.

Commissioners were reluctant, as they were this year, to cut the 2017 budget levy much because of a state law that takes effect in 2017. Legislators, with the urging of Gov. Sam Brownback, decided local budget levies should not increase more than the

rate of inflation — meager of late — without taking the issue to a vote.

Two things about that are troubling.

First, the Legislature, and Brownback, have had a dickens of a time managing state finances since the ill-advised income tax cuts of 2012-13. Instead they signed on to the Kansas Chamber and Americans for Prosperity tax-cut philosophy wholeheartedly and decided to tell counties and cities how to govern.

The facts are simple. Local governing bodies know their constituencies are perfectly capable of deciding when, where and how much tax money should be spent for the public good.

Consequently, commissioners this year have before them a budget that cuts the overall levy by 1.5 mills, and increases some smaller funds, including road and bridge by 5.079, while reducing the general fund’s by 11.039 mills, to 32.739, or better than 6 mills less than in 2014.

The state law affecting local budgets was passed a year ago, with its implementation then delayed a year, so commissioners knew about it when this year’s budget was constructed.

Also, another burr the state slapped under the saddle of local governing bodies was that if they wanted to increase taxes a small amount, the cost of a referendum might well be more than the tax increase.

To help with understanding, a levy of 1 mill raises $1 for each $1,000 of assessed valuation.

A house with market valuation of $100,000 is assessed at 12.5 percent, or $12,500.

That means a levy of 1 mill cost the owner $12.50.

ADDENDUM:

Letters to the editor Dear Susan Lynn:

I read your recent editorial regarding Allen County Attorney Republican candidate Linus Thuston. My initial thought was why you didn’t feel it remiss to not make your thoughts known to the voting public in 2008 when Mr. Thuston was on the ballot for Allen County Attorney? Could it be that you, and other members of the bourgeoisie, are finally realizing the Allen County voters are fed up with the status quo, and are ready to have their voices for change heard?

“Can’t stay on the right side of the law?” “Bribery?” To use your language: “For Real?”

As you obviously did a poor job of fact checking before inking your editorial attacking Mr. Thuston’s credibility some two weeks prior to the primary election, I would suggest (a little late now I realize) you conduct an online search of, or call, the Kansas Attorney Disciplinary Administrator’s Office, which will confirm that Mr. Thuston was not disciplined by said office as a result of the events you inaccurately describe. Nor was he ever charged with any crime.

Mr. Thuston did make some poor decisions early in his legal career, and has demonstrated his ability to learn from those mistakes and move past them. It’s a good thing that Jesus forgives, because you obviously don’t. Are you being equally diligent looking into the distant past of all candidates for political office,

or are you just singling out Mr. Thuston?

I would like to point out a few things about Mr. Thuston that your article omitted.

Mr. Thuston has served his country in the Kansas Army National Guard for over 27 years, including an active duty deployment during Operation Iraqi Freedom. While deployed, Mr. Thuston prepared in excess of 100 wills and power of attorneys for other deployed soldiers pro bono, and continues to this day to provide pro bono legal services for military service members, as well as domestic violence victims in domestic cases. Mr. Thuston served as the Commander of the Chanute VFW for two years, and serves on the Kansas National Guard Suicide Prevention Team performing suicide interventions, and is on the PTSD Response Team.

Mr. Thuston is also active in his church, serving as a Deacon for his local church.

He further actively serves his community through past or present membership on the Neosho County Community College Alumni Board, the Safari Museum Board, the Chanute Housing Authority, and the Southeast Kansas Mental Health Center Board. Mr. Thuston and his wife have been foster care providers, and they continue to serve as surrogate parents and mentors for the NCCC track and field team.

Mr. Thuston has served

‘Charlie Brown’ moderates line up for another kick Lucy has once again cajoled Charlie Brown to kick the football that she will hold for him. Even though he is dubious, he remains, as ever, just optimistic enough. He approaches the ball, draws back his foot, and then, inevitably, Lucy whips the ball away. Charlie Brown screams “AAUGH, flies into the air” and ends up, as always, flat on his back.

In all of Charles Shultz’s “Peanuts” comic strips, no single recurring joke has more power than the football story. There’s the guarded, yet ever-present optimism of Charlie Brown, and the snarky consistency of Lucy’s cruel, but predictable, betrayal.

The joke works so well because we’ve all been there, done that. We’ve known not to trust someone or something, only to be lured once more into making the mistake we’ve made in the past. Yet the joke also works because — at some point — Lucy did hold the football down, and Charlie Brown kicked it, just as his (and our) expectations dictated.

So what has this got to do with moderate Republicans

Burdett Loomis Insight Kansas in Kansas? Well, everything.

Every two years, moderate Republicans tell the world that, yes indeed, this will be the year in which they reverse the increasing rightwing dominance within the Republican Party and, more generally, within Kansas state government. After all, these traditional Republicans reason, they constitute the rightful governing elite in Kansas, manifested in such politicos as governors Bill Avery, Bob Bennett, and Mike Hayden and senators Frank Carlson, Bob Dole, and, to a point, Jerry Moran.

But the last governor from this wing of the party was Bill Graves, who left office almost 14 years ago, and the days are long gone that Bennett, Rep. Pete McGill, and former Johnson County legislative leaders like Speaker Wendell Lady and Senate President Dick Bond could

rule the roost.

Still, for 20 years or so, moderate Republicans have promised, time and again, that this will be the year that they really get serious about electoral politics, to do the hard work that conservatives and the far right have done since the early 1990s, when they took over the Republican Party apparatus, from precinct committee slots to the state party chair.

Moderates historically have concluded that they were raising adequate funds, working long hours, knocking on enough doors, only to come up short. And in 2012, when Gov. Sam Brownback coupled the far right’s work ethic with big money to purge moderate Republicans from the Senate, the result was a blood bath.

In short, for election cycle after election cycle, moderate Republicans across the state put the football down, only to pull it away, leaving gullible Kansans flat on their backs.

This election season, moderate Republican candidates and their political bedfellows, such as the education community and the Mainstream Coalition, are once again

claiming that this is the year, especially given the budgetary mess caused by far-right Republicans. Perhaps it is.

Maybe the funds are there, along with the door-knockers, the postcard mailings, and the larger turnout. Many signs point to better candidates, running more energetic and well-funded campaigns.

Indeed, moderate Republicans like John Doll in Garden City, Ed Berger in Hutchinson, and John Skubal in Johnson County, among others, stand out as strong Senate candidates, who are opposing ideological incumbents by working hard and taking little for granted before the crucial Aug. 2 primary.

No victories are guaranteed, of course, but this could be the year that moderate Republicans won’t pull the ball away, and Kansas GOP voters will have a fair chance to kick some of Gov. Brownback’s far-right allies out of office.

Maybe. But there is a reason the joke works so well.

Burdett Loomis has taught political science at the University of Kansas since 1979.

as a prosecutor for the State of Kansas for over 10 years, and was the recipient this spring (2016) of the Kansas Prosecutor’s Foundation Community Service Award.

I wonder why it is that when some local incumbent elected official has an ax to grind, you are so quick to accommodate them in the form of an editorial? Our current Allen County Attorney works on average less than three days per week, draws an annual salary of nearly $70,000, and doesn’t even live in the State of Kansas. Our current assistant county attorney works on average one and a half days per week, with an assistant’s annual salary of approximately $56,000, and lives in Coffey County.

You obviously have a penchant for sensationalism. I guess drama sells newspapers just like it draws viewers to reality television shows.

Thirty-five years ago July 1981

23 — Kevin Bertels, a senior student at the William Allen White School of Journalism at the University of Kansas, is spending the summer in Iola, working for the Register getting practical experience. Bertels spent the last month interviewing representative farm families in the area and writing articles about the thriving agriculture here. Those articles appear in the summer edition of the Register’s Quarterly Report, which is a part of today’s paper.

29 — Leslie Olm, 52, of Stilwell, was hired by the Iola City Commission as assistant superintendent of utilities yesterday afternoon. He will work as an understudy to Jim Wilson, superintendent of utilities.

31 — Country western star Jimmy Newman, who was a headliner for 20 years with the “Grand Ole Opry” at Nashville, will bring his variety show to open the Allen County Fair Monday at the grandstand. The show kicks off the five-day fair. *****

With the Kansas City Hyatt Regency tragedy echoing in their minds, Mayor John Carder and city commissioners Gary McIntosh and Sol Evans took a long look at the deteriorating bandstand in the courthouse park and declared it condemned yesterday. So the last concert of this summer season was played on the grass beside the bandstand and the community will have nine months to decide what to do for 1982.

Fla. nightclub shooting spree kills 2, injures 17 FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Gunfire erupted at a nightclub hosting a swimsuit-themed party for teens in Florida, leaving two dead and at least 17 wounded, officials said Monday.

It was not immediately clear what triggered the violence. Fort Myers police detained three people and said the area around Club Blu had been deemed safe, police Capt. Jim Mulligan said in a statement.

“While we are still

learning the details about what happened this morning, we know that some of the victims of this terrible incident were children,” Gov. Rick Scott said in a statement. “We will continue to pray for the victims and their families.”

Three people remained hospitalized Monday morning, Cheryl Garn, a spokeswoman for Lee Memorial Health System, said in an email. All

handed off to officers this weekend. Each has been trained in their use, although with the automatic feature the machines contain computerized components that make the decision when to shock a patient, from information gleaned from a connection to the patient.

The officers all also are trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Murphy stressed his officers don’t mean to replace a paramedic or doctor, but with their knowledge and equipment can provide stopgap measures to keep a

person alive until more experience assistance arrives.

The machines cost $15,000, a little over $2,000 each, with purchase power coming from the sale of the airplane.

“We got $52,000,” Murphy said. Of that, $32,000 previously was spent on updated, next-generation video cameras for all sheriff ’s vehicles.

Since the airplane’s sale was done in concert with the Department of Justice, there are limits on how the local funds may be spent, Murphy said, such as for defibrillators and cameras.

others were treated and released. Two people brought to two other area hospitals were also treated and released, Garn said.

Ages of the patients ranged from 12 to 27, Garn said.

The club is in a strip mall that includes a daycare center and is across the street from a large apartment complex.

Officers had the area taped off as crime scene technicians scoured the strip mall parking lot for clues.

State records online show the alcohol license for Club Blu was revoked on June 7. The records from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation say

the license was revoked because of an incident that occurred a year ago, but there are no additional details available.

The same records also show that a complaint was filed in 2014 for “criminal activity” and that the club was given an official notice.

The violence at Club Blu erupted about 12:30 a.m. Monday, Mulligan said. There were two active crime scenes, police said. Several hours later a street in the area remained closed as police investigated.

In a statement, authorities said the Fort Myers police and the Lee County Sheriff ’s Office were “actively canvassing the area looking for other persons who may

City Administrator Carl Slaugh has set up a budget with those steps, that still would require a property tax levy increase of about 2 mills, from 42.899 to about 44.899 mills.

Sporting blanks Sounders

Major League Baseball: Rangers 2, Royals 1

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Dom Dwyer scored twice and Sporting Kansas City held the Seattle Sounders without a shot until the 88th minute in a 3-0 victory Sunday.

Dwyer, charging to the top of the 6-yard box, headed home a cross by Roger Espinosa in the 21st minute.

Jacob Peterson, from just inside top of the box, hammered a feed from Saad Abdul-Salaam past the out-stretched arms of goalkeeper Stefan Frei and into the top-left corner just before halftime.

Dwyer scored his 10th goal of the season, fifth-best total in MLS, in the 79th minute.

Sporting (9-10-4) snapped a two-game losing streak.

Seattle (6-12-2) has lost five of its last seven matches, including four shutouts.

Car crash kills two, including Huskers’ Foltz WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) — Nebraska punter Sam Foltz and former Michigan State punter Mike Sadler died in a car crash in Wisconsin after working at a kicking clinic, a sheriff ’s department official said Sunday. LSU kicker Colby Delahoussaye was injured in the crash.

Waukesha County Sheriff ’s Lt. Thom Moerman said speed was likely a factor in the single-vehicle crash that happened around 11:45 p.m.

Saturday.

The 24-year-old Sadler, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, was driving. He and 22-yearold Foltz, of Greeley, Nebraska, both died at the scene. Delahoussaye, 21 of New Iberia, Louisiana, was also Sam Foltz a passenger.

He was treated at Waukesha Memorial Hospital and released. A statement from LSU said his injuries were minor and that he was scheduled to return home Monday.

Moerman said in a statement that Sadler lost control on the wet pavement, left the roadway and struck a tree.

The University of Nebraska said Sunday the team will skip this week’s planned Big Ten media days in Chicago because of Foltz’s death.

Foltz was a three-year starter for the Nebraska team and last year he was named the Big Ten’s punter of the year.

Foltz graduated from Nebraska with a degree in agronomy in May. He led the Big Ten in punting last year at 44.2 yards per kick and ranked fifth in school history (42.6).

Nebraska Coach Mike Riley said Foltz was respected on the team and had a positive influence on everyone he inSee FOLTZ | Page B4

ROYAL SLIDE Sunday’s loss drops Royals below .500

By DAVE SKRETTA The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — With the Aug. 1 trade deadline approaching next week, the World Series champion Kansas City Royals may be sellers instead of buyers.

Delino DeShields homered in the seventh inning to break a tie and the Texas Rangers beat the Royals 2-1 on Sunday.

The loss dropped the Royals to 4849, the first time the World Series champions have been below .500 since May 15. The Royals have lost 13

of 19 games in July and have not won back-to-back games June 29-30.

For Kansas City, it might already be too late to find another gear for a postseason push.

“We thought about that like three weeks ago,” Yost said. “We can think it all we want. That doesn’t help you.

We’ve got to get it going.”

The Royals are in third place in the AL Central, eight games behind Cleveland. They are in seventh place in the wild card race, six games back.

Royals starter Edinson Volquez left after six innings and 91 pitches, allowing one run and seven hits

while walking three and striking out three. It was Volquez’s fifth straight start pitching at least six innings and he has a 2.87 ERA in that span.

“We know what we can do and we never give up,” Volquez said. “We’re going to be all right. We’re going to make some adjustments and win games I believe.”

Volquez is eligible for free agency after this season and could be traded at the deadline. He stranded runners at third base to end the third, fourth and fifth innings.

Kansas Dems: Bernie backers uniting for Clinton TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas is sending a delegation dominated by Bernie Sanders supporters to a Democratic National Convention controlled by Hillary Clinton, and local party leaders are hoping past divisions heal enough that the presidential race in their Republican-leaning state isn’t a blowout.

Sanders delegates go into this week’s convention in Philadelphia with differing opinions about whether a proposed party platform is progressive

“bashfest” against the presumed Democratic nominee. Wagnon acknowledged that she’s hoping for a convention with “a lot less shouting” than its GOP counterpart.

Wagnon added, “If she (Clinton) asked me today what I advise her, I’d tell her, ‘I think you need to clean up your image and talk about what you stand for.’”

But Clinton still has to win over some Kansas Democrats. Sanders scored a convincing victory over the former U.S.

Asked whether Trump has appeal, Sanders delegate Julie Perry, a registered nurse from Mission, said: “Could you let me know if hell has frozen over? Or should I look out my window and see if pigs have wings?

enough. Republican nominee Donald Trump made a direct appeal in his acceptance speech to Sanders supporters on trade and campaign finance reform.

But the issue for Kansas Democrats appears more to be whether the Vermont senator’s backers embrace Clinton or stay home, rather than whether Trump can win them over.

Asked whether Trump has appeal, Sanders delegate Julie Perry, a registered nurse from Mission, said: “Could you let me know if hell has frozen over? Or should I look out my window and see if pigs have wings?”

Kansas has long been considered a safe GOP state because the last Democrat to carry it was President Lyndon Johnson in 1964. Democratic nominees have averaged less than 37 percent of the vote, starting in 1968.

State Democratic Party Chairman Lee Kinch is hoping for a relatively close race this year, something that would boost candidates down the ballot. Kinch argued that Trump’s personality and his proposals — such as building a wall at the Mexican border and suspending immigration from Muslim nations — alienate large swaths of voters.

“Trump provides a really powerful, powerful incentive for Democrats to unite,” said Kinch, a Derby attorney.

Republicans don’t expect a close race. They are confident that Clinton is unpopular in GOP-leaning Kansas. President Bill Clinton averaged 35 percent of the state’s vote in 1992 and 1996.

Ex-state Democratic Chairwoman Joan Wagnon, a Clinton delegate and former Topeka mayor and state revenue secretary, said Republicans have engaged in a

secretary of state, in the state’s March caucuses.

Sanders captured 23 delegates; Clinton has 14 with the state’s four party-leader superdelegates endorsing her.

The Vermont senator has endorsed Clinton, and Democrats have drafted a platform that some party members view as among the most progressive ever.

Chris Pumpelly, a Sanders delegate and communications consultant from Wichita, agrees with the description. He is especially pleased that the platform calls for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to overturn the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision that has allowed millions of dollars of unregulated independent, special-interest election expenditures.

“There’s so much that brings us together as Democrats rather than divides us,” said Pumpelly, a communications consultant from Wichita.

But Perry, a labor representative for National Nurses United, the largest union for registered nurses, said she’s not pleased with the platform. She wants it to endorse universal health coverage like the Medicare program for elderly Americans and to reject the Trans-Pacific Partnership free-trade pact. She also wants the party to eliminate superdelegates.

She’s also highly skeptical of Trump, arguing that he benefited personally as a businessman from the economic and political systems he now decries as rigged.

“The needs are too great for the average working person, for the average family, for the senior citizens in this country, and Donald Trump has not convinced me that he’s the guy to fix it,” she said. “He can build big, tall skyscrapers and he can make a lot of money.”

Money down the drain TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A new university study shows that Kansas lost about $110 million annually between 1996 and 2005 in the value of its High Plains aquifer.

The study, conducted by a Yale University team, was led by Eli Fenichel, professor at the Yale School of Forestry and Environment Studies.

The aquifer is a vast underground water resource.

The analysis shows that

such things as groundwater extraction and management changes reduced the state’s groundwater wealth by $110 million a year between 1996 and 2005, for a total loss of about $1.1 billion.

The study used the Kansas aquifer as an example to look at setting dollar amounts on “natural capital,” or natural resources such as water, fish and forests. The amount was calculated in 2005 dollars.

Using a pickle can ease bike-related cramps Dear Dr. Roach: For the past few months, I have been training for a 160-mile bike ride, scheduled for this month. After almost every long ride (longer than three hours) I suffer the most excruciatingly painful cramps in my vastus medialis quad muscle. I am a 59-year-old male, a lifelong runner and have had quad, hamstring and calf cramps before, but I rate the pain from those cramps as 2-3 on a 1-10 pain scale. The inner-thigh cramps I’ve been getting are 9-10!

I’ve almost passed out a couple of times. They always hit a few to several hours after the hard ride, sometimes in one leg, sometimes in the

Dr. Keith Roach

cramps later in the day.

They are so severe that I almost don’t want to ride anymore. Any thoughts on cause and prevention? — B.R.

To Your Good Health other, and once in both.

They always occur when I’ve been sitting for a while and start to get up, or am bending over to put on shoes. I’ve tried “home” remedies such as eating Tums, eating mustard and drinking pickle juice. The pickle juice seems to help the most.

I suspect dehydration has a role in the cause, and I drink 16-20 ounces of liquids containing electrolytes every hour during the rides, but I still get the horrible

Answer: There are many causes of cramps.

Losing fluid and electrolytes are two important ones, but it sounds like you are working hard to prevent that (although many sports drinks have too much sugar and not enough sodium or potassium). Those who are just beginning to exercise and overdo it are at risk, but that doesn’t seem like you.

My best guess in your case is inadequate stretching, which is a very common problem,

especially among cyclists. Stretching well before your training rides may prevent the problem entirely, and stretching at onset of cramps can stop them quickly.

A physical therapist or exercise trainer can help you learn the best stretches for your vastus medialis muscle, a muscle that extends the leg at the knee.

Pickle juice, amazingly enough, has been found in studies to quickly relieve cramps in athletes with electronically stimulated cramps, and this effect is thought to be neurologically mediated, rather than an effect of the salt and other compounds in pickle juice.

I tried to make her go to rehab, she said no, no, OK Dear Carolyn: My adult brother is in rehab for the second time in two years. My mother is understandably upset and wants to talk about it every day. She is in her 70s and hasn’t told many of her friends.

I have encouraged her to go to Al-Anon or talk to a counselor, but she keeps putting it off. We have talked almost every day for the past two weeks. Every time I talk to my mom she is crying and wants to hash out all of the details again and again.

I am tired of talking about it and it must be showing. Mom got upset with me yesterday because she doesn’t feel like I am being supportive and

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax can’t talk as often as she would like. I work, have two elementary schoolage children, and my husband’s parents are having some medical challenges . . . so I don’t feel like I have any more time to give.

How do I explain this to my very needy mom without sounding so cold? — Struggling Struggling: I suggest you to go to Al-Anon, talk to a counselor or read up

on adult children of alcoholics, and here’s why.

Your mom is upset with you because, to her mind, you’re keeping her from talking “as often as she would like.” That is codependency: She sees it as your job to serve her need.

How much your mom wants to talk is her responsibility, and she’s making it yours, and so far you’re letting her: You’re listing reasons to justify not talking to her more often when in fact it’s your time, your judgment, your emotions, and you owe no one justification for your choices. “I don’t want to talk about this” is enough. A kinder version for Mom: “You’re right, Mom, I can’t/won’t

Although it’s your brother who is in rehab, your family as a whole bears hallmarks of boundary problems and codependency, which aren’t just eyeroll-trigger words for skeptics of mental-health care and its vocabulary. They’re also struggles commonly found alongside addiction. To better help your brother, mother and yourself, start by understanding the emotional dynamics better with the help of a qualified guide.

Foltz: Kickers killed in accident Continued from B1

“The young men in our football program are hurting but I know that their strength of character and resolve will bring us together and we will honor Sam every day moving forward,” Riley said.

Several hundred friends and teammates of Foltz gathered outside Memorial Stadium in Lincoln Sunday afternoon to remember him. Several players talked about how hard Foltz worked and his faith in God. “Sam was a kind and thoughtful young man who was a leader on the playing field, in the classroom, and in his community,” Nebraska Chancellor Ronnie D. Green said in a statement. “He was an exemplary student-athlete who grew as a player and as a person on his path to recent completion of his degree in agronomy from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and anyone who knew him can testify

that he had an enduring influence on those around him.”

Sadler was a four-year starter and four-time academic All-American at Michigan State. He finished his college playing career after the 2014 season. He drew something of a cult following during his playing days because of his sense of humor and wit.

“I just asked my waitress what sport she thought I played. Her answer? Disk golf. Time to reevaluate my life,” Sadler once tweeted.

He helped get his own mock Heisman Trophy candidacy rolling one season by pushing the hashtag #sadler4heisman. He would also regularly exchange funny lines on Twitter with the @ FauxPelini account, a popular parody of the former Nebraska and current Youngstown State coach Bo Pelini.

“Mike impacted so many people not only as

a football player, but also from an academic standpoint and in the community as well,” Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said in a statement.

“The world has lost a rising star who dreamed big and was accomplishing those dreams, one after another. He was one of those people that brightened your day.”

Dan Tracy with Kohl’s Kicking said both Sadler and Foltz had been working at a weekend clinic at the camp in Wisconsin.

Tracy said the camp ended early Sunday after an announcement about the deaths.

A statement from kicking camp director Jamie Kohl said the staff was mourning with the players’ families and football programs.

“We mourn today with all of the people who were better men and women for knowing Sam and Mike,” Kohl said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with them.”

Royals: Offense silent vs. Texas Continued from B1

“He pitched in and out of trouble all day long, a fantastic job,” Yost said.

DeShields, who was recalled Thursday from Triple-A Round Rock, walked and doubled before leading off the seventh with his third home run. DeShields hit a 2-1 pitch from Luke Hochevar out to left.

Hochevar (2-3) took the loss and has allowed six runs in 6 1/3 innings in July.

“It was a four-seam fastball and it just took off and ran back over the plate,” Hochevar said of DeShields’ home run.

“Trying to go down and away with that and it just ran middle.”

Left-hander Alex Claudio (2-1) picked up the win, pitching a scoreless sixth.

Rangers relievers Claudio, Keone Kela, Jake Diekman and Sam Dyson held the Royals scoreless the final four innings.

Dyson earned his 20th save in 22 opportunities, but not before allowing two singles and taking Paulo Orlando’s liner off his right shoulder.

The Rangers broke through with a clutch hit in the sixth when Mitch Moreland’s two-out single scored Adrian Beltre, who

began the inning with a single.

Rangers right-hander A.J. Griffin left after allowing four hits in five innings, including Kendrys Morales’ home run in the fourth inning. Morales had three of the Royals’ seven hits.

UP NEXT Ian Kennedy, who starts Monday against the Angels, allowed four home runs in a loss Wednesday to the Indians and is tied with teammate Chris Young in allowing a major league-high 26 homers. Los Angeles sends out Hector Santiago.
