The tornado that sliced through south Wichita late Saturday night did a lot of things.

It caused more than $280 million in damage. It clobbered dozens of homes in an Oaklawn mobile home park and it battered Spirit AeroSystems enough to close the plant temporarily.

The one thing it didn’t do was kill anyone.

The National Weather Service said the tornado that tore through the area was an EF-3, with maximum winds of 165 mph. It was part of an outbreak that saw nearly 100 reports of tornadoes, though it’s still unclear how many tornadoes there were.

No deaths or critical injuries were reported in the state, which many

TORNADO OUTBREAK

Tornadoes kill five in Oklahoma town

BY SEAN MURPHY Associated Press

WOODWARD, Okla. — The television was tuned to forecasters’ dire warnings of an impending storm when Greg Tomlyanobich heard a short burst from a tornado siren blare after midnight Sunday.

Then silence. Then rumbling.

The 52-year-old quickly grabbed his wife and grandson, hurrying them into the emergency cellar as debris whirled around their heads at their mobile home park in northwest Oklahoma. They huddled inside with about 20 other people before the tornado roared across the ground above, ripping homes from their foundations.

“It scared the hell out of me,” Tomlyanobich said.

The storm killed five people, including three children, and injured more than two dozen in Woodward, a town about 140 miles northwest of Oklahoma City.

When Tomlyanobich emerged from the underground shelter after the storm subsided, he saw a scattered

Spirit could have an impact on Boeing’s 737 program if Spirit’s fuselage construction for the plane is interrupted, said aviation analyst Richard Aboulafia.

The hardest hit appears to be Spirit, where Gann said Sunday that damage was “substantial” in some buildings, including the firm’s manufacturing process building that’s home to several programs. Significant roof and siding damage was visible Sunday from K-15.

“Our priority is to get in and do a damage assessment,” Gann said. She declined to specify which buildings are most damaged but said structural engineers are reviewing each before employees return.

Gann said several hundred employees were working when the tornado moved through about 9:30 p.m., but they were moved to safety by managers. The company regularly practices tornado safety drills, Gann said, and had gone through a dry run as recently as two weeks ago.

The company is putting together a plan to resume operations, said Spirit CEO Jeff Turner.

“It will be a couple days before we have a good, solid plan,” he said.

Spirit was still without power, gas or communication Sunday evening. The gas was

no other details were available, but she said a critically hurt child was airlifted to a Texas hospital.

Authorities said a signal tower for Woodward’s tornado sirens was struck by lightning and hit by a tornado early Sunday morning.

Police Chief Harvey Rutherford said the tower that was supposed to send a repeating signal to the town’s Sue Ogrocki/Associated Press tornado siren system was knocked out.

“In some areas if we had power, we could put people back to work,” Turner said.

The ends of some of the buildings along Oliver collapsed, but the main parts of them are in much better shape, he said.

Sealing the ends to the buildings and putting up a temporary structure may allow operations to be restarted, even though the buildings wouldn’t be fixed at that point, Gann said.

“But it would get you up and going,” she said.

Early estimates are that about 80 percent of the damaged areas will be able to be cleaned up and resume running again in a fairly efficient time frame.

“The other 20 percent is going to be more problematic,” Gann said.

Most of the damage was to the infrastructure and not to the tooling, machinery and equipment.

Plant 2, where the 737 fuselage is produced, “will clean up pretty fast” once the power comes back on, Turner said.

Overall, there will be some

impact to production.

“We’ll figure out how to keep it flowing and keep it going,” Turner said.

In some cases, employees may work overtime. And the company may ask suppliers to help as well.

Aboulafia said the immediate future of Boeing’s 737 program is potentially the biggest impact of the storm on the aviation industry. That impact will depend on how many fuselages and machines were destroyed .

“It has the potential for disruption to the 737 plans,” he said. “They’ve ramped up to close to two per working day on the 737 barrels, and of course a barrel is not something you’re going to have lying around like a fastener.

The tornado also swept through McConnell Air Force Base, resulting in small power outages and minor damage to fences, buildings and trees, base officials said.

AROUND THE U.S. Geithner rejects Romney’s claims Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner on Sunday pushed back against the argument made by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and allies that women were the biggest losers of jobs during the Obama administration.

In a series of Sunday TV show appearances, Geithner repeatedly called the GOP claim “ridiculous and very misleading,” and argued that Republicans were selectively reporting job losses for part of the recession to attack the president.

Geithner’s public remarks came amid a heated campaign battle between President Obama and the presumptive Republican nominee to win over female voters.

On Sunday, Geithner argued that “you have to look at the whole duration of the recession,” and that men overwhelmingly lost jobs in the recession before Obama took office.

Feds ditching checks to go paperless STEPHEN OHLEMACHER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Starting next year, the check will no longer be in the mail for millions of people who receive Social Security and other government benefits.

The federal government, which issues 73 million payments a month, is phasing out paper checks for all benefit programs, requiring people to get payments electronically, either through direct deposit or a debit card for those without a bank account.

The changes will affect people who get Social Securi-

ty, veterans’ benefits, railroad pensions and federal disability payments. Tax refunds are exempt, but the Internal Revenue Service encourages taxpayers to get refunds electronically by processing those refunds faster than checks.

About 90 percent of people who receive federal benefits already get their payments electronically, the Treasury Department says. New beneficiaries were required to get payments electronically starting last year, and with a few exceptions, the rest will have to make the switch by March 2013.

"It’s just that natural pro-

gression of moving to how people are used to receiving their funds," said Walt Henderson, director of the Treasury Department’s electronic funds transfer division.

Henderson said electronic payments are safer and more efficient than paper checks; in 2010, more than 540,000 federal benefit checks were reported lost or stolen. The switch will save the government about $120 million a year. Social Security will save $1 billion over the next decade, according to the Treasury Department.

"You think of that paper check floating out there in the

delivery system, with personal information on it, it’s much more susceptible to fraud versus an electronic payment," Henderson said.

Advocates for seniors say they understand the government’s desire to cut costs and take advantage of technologies that most workers already use. The food stamp program switched from paper coupons to debit cards in 2004.

But they have raised concerns about requiring the switch for older retirees who may not be used to electronic payments.

"This will affect some very

U.S. seeks help to fight off cyberattacks SAN JOSE, Calif. — Warning that the U.S. is threatened by potentially devastating cyberattacks, the nation’s national security community is recruiting the San Francisco Bay Area’s private sector to counter the assaults.

Today, in a sign these concerns are shared at the highest levels of the Obama administration, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano will make a personal pitch for help to tech companies in San Jose.

AROUND THE WORLD Syrian cease-fire unravels quickly BEIRUT — Syria’s 4-day-old cease-fire appeared to be quickly eroding Sunday, with regime forces firing dozens of tank shells and mortar rounds at neighborhoods in the opposition stronghold of Homs, hours before the arrival of a first team of U.N. truce monitors.

Even though the overall level of violence has dropped, escalating regime attacks over the weekend raised new doubts about President Bashar Assad’s commitment to a plan by special envoy Kofi Annan to end 13 months of violence and launch talks on Syria’s political future.

Assad accepted the truce deal at the prodding of his main ally, Russia, but his compliance has been limited.

Taliban storm prison, free 390 inmates PESHAWAR, Pakistan — Pakistani Taliban militants stormed a prison in northwest Pakistan early Sunday and freed 390 prisoners, including 20 militants, local officials said.

The attack occurred about 2:30 a.m. at a prison in Bannu.

The town is considered the gateway to North Waziristan, a tribal region along the Afghan border that has long been a stronghold for Taliban insurgents and several other militant groups.

Local police officials said as many as 200 Taliban militants drove up in pickups, lobbing hand grenades to break through the jail’s main gate.

Once inside, a two-hour firefight broke out between the attackers and roughly 30 jail guards. The militants began freeing prisoners after the guards ran out of ammunition, officials said.

frail elderly people who are living by themselves, many of them, and doing well, but usually within the context of that old paper check that they deposit in the bank," said Web Phillips, a senior policy advisor for the National Committee to Protect Social Security and Medicare.

"The change has to be handled carefully and with a lot of sensitivity so that there aren’t people who lose track of a payment or don’t understand that they have a card that came in the mail that’s the source of their payment," Phillips said. "That’s our concern."

them no military gains, the insurgents demonstrated their ability once again to stage complex operations inside the security rings of Kabul and other government centers that will without doubt stoke fears of continued turmoil after U.S. and allied combat forces are gone at the end of 2014.

The audacious attacks — mirroring a September incident in which insurgents seized an unfinished highrise building and fired into the U.S. Embassy compound for nearly 24 hours before being killed by Afghan security forces — could also fuel demands in the United States and other NATO capitals to accelerate the withdrawal of international forces after more than a decade of fighting in Afghanistan.

The coordinated attacks in key locations renewed questions about the extent to which Taliban operatives have infiltrated the Afghan security forces.

Twenty-thousand physicians in Kansas, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska received a glimpse into their financial future last month.

Landing in their e-mail inboxes were links to reports from Medicare showing the amount their patients cost on average as well as the quality of the care they provided. The reports also showed how Medicare spending on each doctor’s patients compared with their peers.

The “resource use” reports, which Medicare plans to eventually provide to doctors nationwide, are one of the most visible phases of the government’s effort to figure out how to enact a complex, delicate and little-noticed provision of the 2010 health-care law: paying more to doctors who provide quality care at lower cost to Medicare, and reducing payments to physicians who run up Medicare’s costs without better results.

Making providers routinely pay attention to cost and quality is widely viewed as crucial if the country is going to rein in its health-care spending.

This fall, the federal health program for 47 million seniors and disabled people also is adjusting hospital payments based on quality of care, and it plans to take cost into account as early as next year.

But applying these same precepts to doctors is much more difficult, experts agree. Doctors see far fewer patients than do hospitals, so making statistically accurate assessments of doctors’ care is much harder. Comparing specialists is tricky, since some focus on particular kinds of patients that tend to be more costly.

Plus, properly assessing how a doctor affects costs must include not just the specific services he or she directly provides, but also care other providers may give, either because the patient was referred to them or because the original doctor didn’t take the right preventive steps.

And without properly adjusting for patients’ health problems, paying bonuses to physicians who use fewer Medicare resources might encourage doctors to stint on care or shun patients with expensive-to-treat ailments.

Summit of Americas ends with dispute over adding Cuba

BY SCOTT WILSON Washington Post

CARTAGENA, Colombia — — President Obama concluded a contentious hemispheric summit on the defensive Sunday as it ended without agreement on whether Cuba’s Communist leaders should be invited to the next meeting, which the United States firmly opposes.

The standoff meant that the sixth Summit of the Americas ended without an official declaration — a negotiated statement of shared principles from the hemisphere’s heads of state — and left open the question of whether there would be a seventh such meeting.

The ambiguous conclusion underscored the fact that Obama, while pledging a new relationship with the leery southern neighbors, has had

little success in bridging significant policy differences that have divided the region for decades.

With the scandal involving a number of Secret Service agents and prostitution coloring the weekend meeting, Obama departed here with the U.S. image mildly blemished and the enduring political differences between the hemisphere’s wealthy north and rising south firmly intact.

“I’m not somebody who brings to the table here a lot of baggage from the past, and I want to look at these issues in a new and fresh way,” Obama said during a Sunday news conference with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos. “I am sometimes puzzled by the degree to which countries that themselves have undergone enormous transformations, that have known the oppression of dictatorships or have found themselves on the

Cuba and the decades-old U.S. embargo against it, which Latin American and Caribbean leaders derisively call a “blockade,” has been a traditional bone of contention between the United States and much of the rest of the region.

But it emerged here as only one of several issues, including U.S. antidrug and monetary policy, that together illustrated how far the United States remains outside the hemisphere’s political consensus.

The summit was more buttoned up than the last one three years ago, largely because several of the region’s most anti-American leaders did not attend. The cultural programming around the meetings showcased this lovely seaside city and the progress Colombia, where an array of drugfunded armed groups have faded in recent years, has made.

About 7,300 homes and businesses in Sedgwick County were still without power Sunday evening, down from a peak of about 25,000. Crews from throughout the region, including about 75 crews that are independent contactors, were working to restore power and replace power poles that had snapped in two. It may be Tuesday before power is fully restored, said Leonard Allen, a spokesman for Westar.

Westar said heavy traffic from curious sightseers is slowing down power restoration. Sedgwick County emergency dispatchers asked people to stay out of southeast Sedgwick County unless absolutely necessary.

The sound of chain saws buzzed all day in Oaklawn as family, friends and others showed up to help clear limbs and twisted trees.

“We’re working together,” said David Parker, one Oaklawn resident. “We have to help each other.”

Many of the residents were working on very little sleep, if any at all. Law enforcement officers and Kansas National Guardsmen had made a house-to-house check to see whether everyone was OK, often knocking on doors as late as 3 a.m. Sunday. Once they were checked, houses were marked with spray paint.

In the mobile home park on Sunday, with all residents cleared out, there was an eerie quiet. The little neighborhood lacked the usual sounds of cars moving, doors opening and children playing.

Living rooms lay open to the sky, walls shattered around them. Trees were broken and stripped of leaves, but some limbs were festooned with shreds of aluminum or foam insulation.

It was easy to see that David Smith and his family had lost everything in the tornado; the five of them stood outside the closed Kwik Shop near 47th

credited to weather forecasters warning of impending severe weather 24 to 48 hours in advance.

Seventeen injuries were reported in Sedgwick County, according to the Sedgwick County Emergency Operations Center. Only four of those were serious enough to require hospitalization.

“We knew well ahead of time that this was going to be ugly,” Sedgwick County Commissioner Tim Norton said.

“People listened. They sheltered in place, and we are very fortunate it didn’t go through some major residential areas and that there wasn’t any loss of life.”

In the Wichita area, the most significant damage was in Oaklawn, specifically the 150-unit Pinaire Mobile Home Park. More than 90 mobile homes sustained damage of more than 50 percent.

Six other homes in Sedgwick County were reported destroyed, three were damaged, and a condominium was damaged.

County and city officials had originally estimated damage at $283 million but said on Sunday the total might be lower.

“You just really appreciate the destructive power of a tornado when you see an I-beam wrapped around a tree,” Brownback said after his tour of the area.

He promised residents and recovery workers that their needs will be a priority for state government. He said an assessment is under way to determine whether the damage is severe enough to trigger federal disaster aid.

Brownback issued a declaration of a state-of-disaster emergency for 39 counties.

All buildings at the Spirit AeroSystems facility received some damage; six sustained significant damage. Spirit, the city’s largest private employer, is closed until at least Tuesday.

The company is putting together a plan to resume operations, said Spirit CEO Jeff Turner.

“It will be a couple days before we have a good, solid plan,” he said.

Boeing and Hawker Beechcraft had minor damage, as did McConnell Air Force Base, which reported small power outages and minor damage to fences, buildings and trees.

Planes at the Kansas Aviation Museum also were damaged.

Approximately 30 area residents were sheltered overnight by the American Red Cross at the Derby Rec Center.

Officials expected a similar number to spend the night Sunday.

The Derby and Wichita school districts each closed two schools and said they couldn’t provide bus trans-

South and Clifton in Oaklawn, wearing shorts in the breezy 60-degree weather. Only one of them, 6-year-old Sarah, was wearing a jacket.

They were mud-spattered, and tired, and it was obvious to anyone who saw them that everything they owned in the world was what they were wearing. They had their clothes and the dog named Gizmo, the only one of four beloved pets they were able to save before their house was destroyed.

When the tornado struck, David’s soon-to-be wife, Dawn Gunter, had just come home to the Pinaire Mobile Home Park from Sonic. At the Kwik Shop 12 hours later, she was still wearing her Sonic shirt, and the wet socks she wore when she waded through the storm water before and after.

David and Dawn got the three girls into the trailer park storm shelter with only minutes to spare before roofs and walls exploded. In the shelter, people yelled and screamed as the wind tore things apart outside. After the wind stopped howling, David Smith went out among the broken mobile homes, looking for survivors.

The loss of the missing pets had the kids feeling down, though Smith assured them he’d do his best.

“I will look for them,” he told the kids. “But if I can’t find them, I can’t find them.”

Their home was destroyed.

A neighbor had told them she saw what she thought was their backyard trampoline in a roadway three miles to the north.

Smith said he had no idea where they might sleep on Sunday night. They’d gathered with other survivors at the local recreational center, though none of them slept

AREA NEWS IN BRIEF Wichita council to mull funding for Kingsbury Park Funding for improvements at the 440-acre Kingsbury Park will be considered by the Wichita City Council on Tuesday.

The park is intended to become a 215-acre recreational lake system that city staff calls a “one-of-a-kind recreational venue for Wichita and the surrounding area.”

The council will consider spending $281,300 on infrastructure construction and

preparation for the second phase of development at the site near the Brooks Landfill at K-96 and Hoover, land originally earmarked for landfill expansion.

Sand mining has been under way at the site since 2004, work that allows the city to sculpt the lake bottom in unique configurations to handle a variety of aquatic uses, according to city documents.

The proposal appeared before the council on April 3, but was tabled so new council members could be briefed on the project.

The original Kingsbury Park plan was approved in Septem-

ber 2007. Already, mass grading, drainage and restoration plans have been completed for the first phase of the proposed park.

The park could cost between $60 million and $100 million, according to cost estimates from the April 3 council meeting.

C

omedian Joan Rivers made “Can we talk?” a popular catchphrase.

These days, the phrase should be “Can we talk to a human being?”

So many companies have automated answering systems that it’s almost jarring when a human answers the phone.

When my television wouldn’t work, I called the number, and I must say the automated woman’s voice made “her” seem nice and friendly. The voice was encouraging and calm. But when none of her options were what I needed to know, she told me how long I’d have to wait before being connected to a living, breathing person.

That’s not always the case, however.

I’ve tried more than once to have a conversation with an automated voice that apparently was deaf. Even though I It may be was speaking clearly difficult to and, according to my co-workers, imagine, but loudly, Automated Annie couldn’t hear there are people who me, couldn’t understand me – and don’t have a didn’t help me one computer. bit.

I’ve talked to senior citizens who simply hang up when they hear an automated voice because they know it’s just not going to work out. While waiting in the line at Panera, I overheard a man tell his wife, “I have a hard enough time trying to talk to a person on the phone, so I’m not about to go punching this button for this and that button for something else.” It’s not just seniors who would like to have human help at first dial, or be directed to a “convenient website for any problems you might be having.”

I know it’s difficult for some of us to imagine, but there are people in the world who don’t have a computer. Many places you call for help will direct you to the computer website. While you’re on hold, they suggest their website again, and on it goes. Some websites are so difficult to navigate that it makes your original problem seem insignificant.

The most frustrating challenge I ever had in the automated world was trying to talk to a human being in the lost and found department at LaGuardia Airport in New York City. It cannot be done. I spent an hour on the phone and two hours online trying to find my camera – actually, The Wichita Eagle’s camera.

Aaargh. If you lose something at LaGuardia, rest assured it’s gone forever and you will never have the opportunity to talk to anyone in the lost and found department about it.

But in many nonverbal communicative times, there isn’t a problem; even so, you’re still supposed to do as many tasks as possible without human contact. The reason I’m writing this column is an experience I had at the bank drivethrough. I deposited a check and asked for my balance. “You know you can do that online,” the cute teller said. “Do you want me to give you the website?” I told her I knew the website and I use it sometimes, “but I like to drive through and see you.” She looked very puzzled, then she smiled. True, I wasn’t doing my

Four best actresses team up for Britain’s Olivier Award Mischievous musical “Matilda” dominated British theater’s Olivier Awards on Sunday, winning seven prizes including a joint best-actress trophy for the four children who play the title role.

Written by the playwright Dennis Kelly, with music and lyrics by Australian comedian Tim Minchin, “Matilda” took more prizes than any show in the Oliviers’ 36-year history.

Its trophies included best new musical and best actor for a cross-dressing Bertie Carvel as well as the prize for young performers Cleo Demetriou, Kerry Ingram, Sophia Kiely and Eleanor WorthingtonCox. The quartet are all 12 or under.

Worthington-Cox, at 10, is the youngest person to win an Olivier.

Franchitti says he was angered by media speculation that the actress had altered her face, and gave her the phone number of an attorney he’s used in Scotland. He says that conversation got Judd thinking about standing up to the hurtful reports.

Symphony wraps up season with all-Beethoven concert

BY DAVID BAXTER Eagle correspondent

Saturday evening’s concert in the Century II Concert Hall by the Wichita Symphony Orchestra, marking the conclusion of the 2011-12 season of classical concerts, was a powerful and uplifting event.

Considering the weather, an impressive crowd turned out to enjoy this all-Beethoven concert, dedicated to Mitch Berman, the late executive director of the Wichita Symphony.

The concert began with the “Coriolan Overture.” Like so many of the much loved overtures that are used as concert openers, Beethoven’s Coriolan has long outlived the play that inspired it.

The orchestra’s playing was very good, but what was most notable was simply the overall sound of the orchestra in the concert hall. To accommodate the chorus for the next piece on the program, the orchestra was seated farther forward on the stage.

The group’s sound had far more presence in the hall from this spot; there was a beautiful resonance to the bass sound, and the timpani sound was nicely integrated in the orchestral texture. The orchestra should go to any length possible to facilitate the projection of this sound into the concert hall.

The “Mass in C” was performed with grandeur and elegance. In this piece we hear an example of Beethoven’s skill in expanding on the well-defined classical musical forms. The Wichita

Despite a weatherinduced interruption of the second movement to allow patrons seated in the balcony to move to the safety of the orchestra section, the pacing of the performance was spellbinding.

exotic lands,” Julian said.

David Wolfe, trends analyst for the New York-based Doneger Group, agrees the colorful prints are part of the bright color trend for spring.

“Designers are always eager to adopt native prints. Then they don’t have to design anything original,” he said.

“And tribal fashion represents the hands-on, human touch and is an antidote to the barrage of high-tech that is driving our lives these days,” Wolfe said, calling it “techno-backlash.”

But for many, it’s not faraway lands that these prints bring to mind. For some, the prints are nostalgic.

“I’ve always loved this look,” said Linda Burton, owner of Sister Moses at 29th North and Rock Road. “It’s a throwback, and it brings back images of those little dried

It’s been years ago when I saw a television show where a young man proved he could live and have whatever he needed without ever leaving his house. And he didn’t talk to anyone, either. His communication tool was the computer. Period. At the time, it was fascinating, but, I thought, troubling. Now the concept is not the least bit far-fetched.

flowers, the scent of patchouli, and lots of fond memories.”

Dresses of all lengths and other clothing pieces are available in these prints, but it’s not just clothing. Swimsuits, hats, shoes and even cocktail dresses are all part of the tribal print trend.

The best accessories to carry the look are made of natural materials — wooden bangles, cork wedge sandals, wooden beads of all colors and sizes, leather — both straps and braided — and some seashells thrown in for good measure.

You know a trend is strong when it crosses boundaries into all categories.

“From women’s to men’s, sportswear to swimwear, accessories and shoes, the ethnic story is right for retail as consumers look for distinct pieces that stand out,” Julian said.

OPINION Warnings saved lives

T

he weekend was a fresh and scary reminder to south-central Kansans that tornadoes come with the territory. But it also demonstrated that early, accurate warnings can be lifesavers.

The meteorologists used their high-tech tools and the resulting data to warn people days ahead of the potential for a massive tornado system to target Wichita and other parts of Kansas on Saturday.

Thanks to traditional and social media, residents had plenty of specific information at their fingertips and on their TVs and radios about what could happen.

As the storm system’s deadly severity became clear, southeast Wichita was ablaze with red on the radar maps and the tornado sirens wailed accordingly.

Most important, the majority of people paid attention Thanks are due the and took shelfirefighters, law enforcement ter. officers, government officials, Even many charities and churches that of those jaded responded to the need. plains dwellers who act as if the sirens’ howl is the official signal to head for the front yard eventually chose to ride out Saturday’s EF-3 tornado in places that would have made Merril Teller, Jay Prater and Dave Freeman proud.

Then another defining characteristic of the south-central Kansan took over – the urge to step forward and help others.

Thanks are due the firefighters, law enforcement officers, government officials, charities and churches that responded to the need, even as late evening became middle of the night.

And it’s hard to imagine how things might have been different if not for the storm shelter at the Pinaire Mobile Home Park, near 52nd Street South and Clifton – and the willingness of residents to use it.

Too bad so many people in the Wichita area later acted as if the destruction was meant for sightseeing rather than search, rescue and cleanup. Their curiosity ended up clogging the streets and making it harder for emergency crews to get around.

As the winds of up to 165 mph mangled houses and belongings, they robbed many of a way of life. The affected neighborhoods and businesses will be in the community’s thoughts and prayers for the months to come.

And how frustrating that the tornado damaged the facilities of three of Wichita’s planemakers, adding to their challenges amid the economy’s slow-motion recovery. Spirit AeroSystems, Wichita’s biggest employer, expects to be closed through at least Tuesday to assess damage.

All of the Wichita community should support the Oaklawn area and other affected neighborhoods by making financial donations to the Wichita Red Cross (www.redcross.org, or call 800-RED-CROSS) or checking with the United Way of the Plains (dial 211) for ways to volunteer.

As those in the parts of Wichita and the rest of Kansas that were untouched by the weekend storms count their blessings, they can be confident that nature will have more storms in store for the region. We can’t stop them from coming.

We can only be as ready and safe as possible when they get here.

Koch lawsuits worry scholars Charles and David Koch have filed a second lawsuit against the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank they helped found.

Their latest lawsuit accuses Cato of a “board-packing scheme.” Cato’s board of directors voted last month “to increase the number of seats on the board and to fill those seats with four previous members whom the Kochs had removed,” the Washington Post reported. Meanwhile, Michael F. Cannon, the director of health policy studies at Cato, wrote an open letter to the Koch brothers warning that a Koch takeover would undermine Cato’s credibility.

“Cato scholars fear your lawsuit, because even the perception that a think tank is dependent on a single financial interest is enough to wreck its credibility,” he wrote.

Conventional wisdom sure to be wrong again A Mormon president? A second term when the unemployment rate is 8 percent or higher? Conventional wisdom would nix either scenario for November. But it’s been wrong a lot over the past 64 years, noted University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sabato in a Politico commentary. In 1948, President Truman was so unpopular that the election was supposed to be a formality. The 1960 thinking went: “No Roman Catholic, much less an inexperienced 43-year-old, is going to win the White House.” Sabato noted that 20 years later it was: “Ronald Reagan is much too far to the right, and he’d be the oldest president ever elected.” How about 1992? “Oh, sure, America is going to oust a war hero for a draft-dodging, pot-smoking, womanizing governor of Dogpatch,” Sabato wrote.

In 2000, it was thought “the voters’ populist distaste for dynasty” would deny George Bush the job. And eight years later: “An African-American with a thin resume at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? In which parallel universe?”

Make end-of-life wishes known We’re often reminded that the only certainties in life are death and taxes. Despite the inevitability of death and highly publicized cases such as that of Terri Schiavo, studies indicate that most American adults have not completed advance directives such as a durable power of attorney for health care or a living will. So it seems only fitting that today – the day before taxes are due this year – is National Healthcare Decisions Day. The goal of this nationwide initiative is to ensure that all adults with decision-making capacity have both the information and the opportunity to communicate and document their future health care decisions. We all can benefit from thinking about what our health care choices would be if we were seriously or terminally ill and unable to speak for ourselves, and then writing down those decisions in an advance directive so that our family and health care providers can make decisions in accordance with our wishes and values.

Although advance directives can be done without a lawyer, for free, and relatively easily, only about 1 in 4 adults has completed this process. National Healthcare Decisions Day (www.nhdd.org) was established to provide education about advance directives and reduce the number of tragedies that occur when a person’s wishes are unknown.

Though there are no wrong answers when thinking about health care choices and completing an advance directive, it’s important to start the conversation so that others will know and honor your wishes.

New McCarthyism Reading the article on Secretary of State Kris Kobach (April 8 Eagle), I was reminded of another demagogue, former Sen. Joseph McCarthy. To further his political career, he engaged in an anti-communist campaign based on popular fears and prejudices rather than rational arguments.

He was famously quoted as having identified 57 known communists in the U.S. State Department. His investigations were found to be nothing more than a witch hunt and were dismissed by his colleagues in government.

I wonder how long it will be before Kobach announces that he has confirmed 57 cases of voter fraud in the state of Kansas. His objective is obvious: He hopes to disenfranchise legitimate minority voters who seek representation for their concerns and those of immigrants who hope to share in the American dream.

That ain’t fair. Steve Jobs had a better imagination than I have.

That ain’t fair.

People win large sums of money from the lottery. I haven’t.

That ain’t fair.

Michael Jordan can dunk a basketball. I can’t. That ain’t fair.

Taylor Swift can compose and sing songs. I can’t. That ain’t fair.

If you believe in the president’s definition of fairness, then you must believe that most of us got screwed. No, we didn’t.

The only thing that can be fair in life is for each of us to be treated fairly, the same, equally.

That includes treating the rich man the same as the poor man.

It is just plain wrong to have the philosophy of “Woe is me. I know – let’s take it from the rich. That’ll show them. Who do they think they are anyway?”

Political game

The decision of Rep. Brenda Landwehr, R-Wichita, not to hold a hearing on a breast-cancer bill (April 10 Eagle) is nothing but a political game to prevent the bill’s passage from bringing approbation to Sen. Jean Schodorf, R-Wichita, sponsor of the bill.

This bill would give additional protection to women who otherwise might not find out they are subject to breast cancer. The bill was highly regarded enough to pass unanimously – that means bipartisan passage – through JOHN BROCK the Kansas Senate.

vibrant possibility. The great ship represented another wonder in an era rife with them, a marvel of technology and a model of humanity’s ability to master its own environment. She was the ultimate expression of the age, the ship they said God Himself could not sink.

How bitter those words must have tasted as they were swallowed, as humility was imposed upon humanity.

And it is easy to look back on the people who said that foolish thing and to feel a certain superiority. What blind hubris they had.

But to do that is to miss the lesson of what happened a century ago. Their hubris is our hubris, a human conceit as applicable to the Age of Information as it was to the Age of Industry, if not more so.

That shot in Cameron’s movie is a profound reminder of the epic scale of this stage upon which generations strut and preen. Titanic was the newest there was, but she died upon an ocean that was old when Vikings sailed, under a sky that saw the continents rise.

And she was the biggest there was, too – but it turns out she was smaller than we ever knew.

How about a big “thank you” to all the Westar Energy linemen who have been working nonstop to restore power after Saturday’s storm?

■ ■ ■ Thank you to the Wichita TV stations for keeping us closely informed throughout the tornado outbreak on Saturday.

We really appreciate it.

■ ■ ■ All the weathermen and women who stayed on the air all day and night saved a lot of lives. Thank you and God bless.

■ ■ ■ Thanks to KWCH, Channel 12, for the live coverage Sunday morning of the local storm damage where the others chose to show infomercials.

■ ■ ■ There was no way to get from Derby to Wichita on Sunday. We had a tornado touch down and the city reacts as if we were hit with an Abomb. People still have to go to work.

■ ■ ■ Now is a perfect opportunity to escape from Afghanistan and end our war there. If there is to be a war against Iran, let some other countries do it.

We’re due for some years of peace.

■ ■ ■ When President Obama talks about Afghanistan, he never uses the word “victory.” He seems to believe mistakenly that diplomacy is going to suffice. But the Taliban recognizes that they are more committed to the war than is America’s leadership.

■ ■ ■ Many people say God isn’t involved with this country. I say poppycock. The country received what it deserved: Barack Obama.

■ ■ ■ If those in the Christian right still don’t get why America should have universal health care, then either they haven’t prayed long enough on the subject or prayer just doesn’t work. Jesus wouldn’t leave a sick or injured animal to die by the wayside, let alone another human being.

Brownback said helping the disaster victims is a state priority and money is available to do that. for getting warnings out 24 to 48 hours in advance, and residents for acting on those warnings.

“The citizenry of Kansas did an amazing job of getting prepared for it,” Brownback said. “People took it seriously, they got out of the way, they prepared for it, and as a result of that and the grace of God, we had no fatalities.”

Sedgwick County fire Capt. John Troyer told Brownback that there were about 150 mobile homes in the Pinaire park. The park does have a hardened storm shelter where a lot of residents found refuge.

“Over 90 percent of the homes were 50 percent or more damaged,” Troyer told the governor, who then asked, “Is there anything you need that we can address?”

Replied Troyer: “As of right now, it’s the people here who need the help.”

Brownback said Saturday’s storms were an extraordinarily broad weather event, with more than 90 tornadoes spread out over 40 percent of the state.

He and Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., said an assessment is under way to determine whether the damage is severe enough to trigger federal disaster aid.

Moran and Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Wichita, said they will be working with Washington to bring as much help as possible once the assessment is complete.

“I’m here in part on behalf of Sen. (Pat) Roberts and I to make certain that we’re prepared to move quickly

should there be an opportunity for us at the federal government to encourage and to insist and to demand that federal assistance occur.”

Added Pompeo: “We were out at Spirit, a lot of work out there to do, and I know that our senators and the rest of the Kansas delegation will make sure that every federal resource is available to make sure they can get back up and going just as quickly as possible.”

Brownback said helping the disaster victims is a state priority and money is available to do that.

“Fortunately ... we were really responsible with the budget last year and have got a pretty good surplus.”

Storm center logs nearly 100 reports of twisters in Kan.

BY STAN FINGER The Wichita Eagle

A large tornado bore down on Wichita’s Mid-Continent Airport long after sunset Saturday night, taking a path that would bring it right through downtown — where country music star Miranda Lambert was performing at Intrust Bank Arena.

The tornado drew so close to the airport that the staff of the Wichita branch of the National Weather Service, which is next to the airport, turned operational duties over to the Topeka office and sought shelter.

Then it lifted.

Even as that twister fell apart, a new tornado was developing farther to the east.

It would churn through Oaklawn, south Wichita and into Butler County, causing damage estimated in the hundreds of millions of dollars but no fatalities or critical injuries.

“It could have been so much worse,” said Chance Hayes, warning coordination meteorologist for the weather service’s Wichita branch.

A damage survey team rated the Wichita tornado an EF-3 on Sunday, meaning it had maximum winds of up to 165 mph. The most significant damage was found in Oaklawn and on the west side of McConnell Air Force Base.

The team was continuing to assess the damage path late

Sunday afternoon.

Another survey team rated a central Kansas tornado EF-4 — with winds of more than 166 mph — for damage left behind at a farmstead near Kanopolis Lake in Ellsworth County.

A third team went to southern Kansas to chart the paths of tornadoes from the Oklahoma state line south of Anthony to Clearwater.

It could be several days before officials know just how many tornadoes touched down in Kansas during Saturday’s outbreak. The Storm Prediction Center logged 97 reports of tornadoes in Kansas.

“The environmental conditions were favorable for su-

percells to produce long-track tornadoes,” said Bill Bunting, chief of the operations branch at the Storm Prediction Center.

That doesn’t mean one tornado stayed on the ground for hours at a time, however.

More than one supercell thunderstorm in Kansas produced multiple tornadoes as they moved across the state.

The supercell thunderstorm that generated the Wichita tornado began producing tornadoes in Oklahoma more than two hours before arriving in Wichita and continued to develop tornadoes long after the storm had moved into the Flint Hills.

“It may take a few days to

get a really comprehensive picture of the exact track and the intensity of the tornadoes,” Bunting said.

Forecasters say the tornadic storm caused localized flooding of streets and basements, though few reports were made to the weather service.

“I’m sure everyone was more concerned about the tornado,” said Robb Lawson, a meteorologist with the weather service.

Radar indicated the storm also brought large hail to the metropolitan area, Lawson said, but almost no hail reports were called in.

New system with descriptive warnings may have saved lives

BY RICK MONTGOMERY Kansas City Star

As tornadoes brewed in the Wichita region late Saturday, National Weather Service meteorologist Andy Kleinsasser issued a new kind of bulletin that detailed just how bad things could get.

“Major house and building damage likely and complete destruction possible … ,” his warning included. “Complete destruction of vehicles likely.”

The severe weekend conditions allowed the weather service to test an experimental system of alerting Kansans and Missourians to the poten-

tial impact of storms. Beginning this month and continuing through October, an effort called “Impact Based Warning” aims to more clearly describe the risks faced by people in the path of violent weather.

Officials on Sunday, though not ready to credit the absence of fatalities in Kansas to the enhanced warning system, said the state was lucky to have escaped a high human toll.

“Given the scope of the severe weather and that it was a Saturday evening, with people out and about, it’s amazing there weren’t any

fatalities or serious injuries that we’re aware of,” said Kleinsasser.

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback — who on Sunday declared a disaster emergency and toured damaged areas in south Wichita — said residents responded to the storm warnings and took cover, which may have saved many lives.

The warnings of the weather service were sharpened to include, for the first time, detailed descriptions of what type of damage was possible.

Each text alert carried a tagline ranging in severity from “radar indicated” to “observed” to “significant,” the

latter indicating a strong, confirmed tornado capable of causing major destruction.

“Mobile homes completely destroyed if hit … ,” instructed a warning from the service’s Topeka station early Sunday. “Vehicles will likely be thrown by tornadic winds.”

News media and emergency managers across eastern Kansas and Missouri are participating in the experiment, which follows a year in which the United States witnessed a historic number of tornado fatalities. In Joplin, where an EF-5 twister on May 22 resulted in 161 deaths, many people were slow to take shelter

until the tornado began ripping through town.

Weather service offices serving Kansas City, Springfield, St. Louis, Wichita and Topeka are testing the enhanced communication system. In rare cases of imminent danger on population centers, such as the Joplin tornado, warnings will carry the tagline “catastrophic,” but over the weekend, Kansas storm monitors resisted using that designation.

“We’re trying to separate the normal kinds of warnings from the this-can-kill-you warning,” Kleinsasser said.

Meteorologist Kyle Poage,

of the weather service in Topeka, said lives in Kansas may have been saved by a drumbeat of dire warnings late last week from the Storm Prediction Center. Part of the National Weather Service, the center identified parts of central Kansas, Oklahoma and eastern Nebraska as being in the middle of a “high-end, life-threatening” zone of likely tornado activity.

“That’s only the second time they’ve issued that type of high risk two days out,” Poage said.

TORNADO OUTBREAK

Survivors of tornado share their stories Eagle staff

Tornadoes can do the strangest things.

Chrissy Hart, 32, heeded Saturday’s storm warnings, left her home in the 5100 block of Meadowview Avenue in Oaklawn and waited out the night’s fury at her mother’s house. She returned later to find her house riddled with damage.

Shortly before noon Sunday, Hart was searching for anything salvageable. And then she saw it. Her Michael Jackson CD, “This is It,” sitting undisturbed on top of a stereo speaker next to an outside wall that was no longer there.

“Oh, my gosh!” she cried as she spotted it.

A tornado wipes out a wall, yet leaves an item weighing less than a few ounces untouched.

Hart sighed with gratitude.

Not just because of the rescued CD. She was OK, her neighbors were OK. Property?

Not so good.

“I don’t have a place to live,” Hart said, “but I’m grateful because I still have something. I don’t know what to do.”

So she hugged one of her next-door neighbors, Connie Force.

“I’ll never be able to find neighbors again as good as you,” Hart said through tears.

Connie, 50, and her husband, Bob, 59, also had their house demolished. Their truck and car were smashed.

She survived by hiding in a closet. He flipped a couch over the top of him — right where a tree limb slammed through a window.

As chain-saws whirred away all over their block Sunday, the Forces picked through what remained inside. Terry Force, their son, came over to help.

“Dad, we need to get some respirator masks,” Terry said.

“I can’t breathe in there.”

Piles of grayish-colored insulation, fallen from the collapsed ceiling, lay inches deep. Every step kicked up choking dust. Someone found dust masks, and everyone put one on.

This was Bob’s fifth tornado.

He survived four others in western Kansas.

“I didn’t think I was going to make it through this one,” he said.

The Forces had only four more years left before the house was paid off.

Over the deafening roar of the chain-saws cutting up the fallen trees littering the neighborhood, Chrissy yelled to Connie, “Hey, maybe now I can get that new carpet.”

“Yeah, we’ll see about that,” Connie said, with a little chuckle.

the rubble and loaded them into cars and trucks.

As they worked, a fierce wind blew a scary reminder.

Wes Race found his home 200 yards away from where it used to be.

It was inside somebody else’s house.

“My house took out two other houses,” he said.

Race pulled out a cellphone to show a photo of what used to be the 2,600-square-foot double-wide where he’d lived since 1999. There was nothing left but litter.

Race was lucky in one way.

He and his daughter, Amber, weren’t home when the storm hit.

“The key is, me and my daughter are both alive,” he said.

Race said he’d find another place and rebuild his life.

Carol Tomey walked around her home, which wasn’t heavily damaged. She’d managed to survive the tornado

inside the home.

“I rode that thing out like a bucking bronco,” Tomey said.

“I was laying on the floor by my bed and by a real thin double-wall closet saying, ‘Help me, Lord.’ And he did.”

She said she might look for a house out in the woods next time, and she laughed.

Outside his home, Mike Konert, who had ridden out the tornado with his wife, Kris, said he had to shoo away looters after he returned to the neighborhood.

“People are stealing already, and they don’t even need to be in here,” Konert said.

Suddenly, five young men appeared and asked Konert if he needed any help.

Konert asked them if they were offering to help him for money.

They said “No,” and soon they were firing up chain saws to cut fallen tree limbs.

Most of them were farmers from the Whitewater area.

Residents of Pinaire Mobile Home Park were allowed to enter their homes late Sunday afternoon. The park was heavily damaged by a tornado on Saturday night.

They were Troy and Aaron Wiebe, Nate Holmes, Eric Busenitz and Joel Barkman.

All of them had been to church Sunday and decided to drive to Wichita and do something for the park residents.

“People need help,” Bark-

man said.

“You know what?” Konert said as the men began to work in his yard. “There is still some good in mankind.”

TORNADO OUTBREAK

Volunteers help provide shelter, food and more

BY JERRY SIEBENMARK The Wichita Eagle

Victor Bowen got a phone call at midnight to open the American Red Cross’ first shelter following Saturday night’s tornadoes in the Wichita area.

Bowen, who has volunteered with the Red Cross since retiring several years ago from Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad and AT&T, opened the shelter around 3 a.m. Sunday at the Derby Recreation Center, 801 E. Market.

“We’re serving the whole area in the southeast corridor,” Bowen said. “Right now, it’s mostly people from the (Pinaire) trailer park.”

Bowen is among the dozens of volunteers the Red Cross deployed after tornadoes hit Oaklawn and west of McConnell Air Force Base. In addition, the Salvation Army said it has deployed three mobile kitchens – one from Wichita and the others from El Dorado and Pittsburg – along with volunteers to the area. Salvation Army officials could not be reached Sunday for additional information.

The Red Cross also de-

HOW TO HELP ■ The American Red Cross and Salvation Army say the quickest and easiest way to help tornado victims is through financial contributions. Donations can be made to the Red Cross by calling 800-RED-CROSS. The Salvation Army can receive donations at 800-SAL-ARMY. ■ To apply for training as a Red Cross volunteer in the Wichita area, call 316-219-4000.

■ To volunteer helping with cleanup from the storm, call the United Way of the Plains volunteer line at 211.

ployed teams of volunteers on Sunday to assess damage in the area, which Red Cross public affairs officer Brian Scoles said helps the organization determine additional resources it will need to help people and the community recover.

“There are about 60 volunteers to one paid staff member” in the average Red Cross chapter, Scoles said. “The American Red Cross is very heavily dependent on the volunteer.”

Bowen said the shelter, which provides cots, food, toiletries and showers to tornado victims, is staffed by six Red Cross volunteers working 12-hour shifts.

He said it provided services to about 30 people overnight.

By Sunday afternoon, 21 of them had left.

“They were in houses that had minimal damage,” Bowen said. “It was their choice to return home.”

He expected the shelter to house about 30 people again Sunday evening.

As a shelter manager, Bowen coordinates the activities of about five other volunteers, including a nurse, mental health worker and a volunteer trained as a case worker.

He said he was getting ready to leave Wichita for Fort Worth – he has homes in each city – when he was

He turned to volunteering for the Red Cross once he retired because, Bowen said, it provides what he said was truly charitable service.

“I’ve had a good life, and I wanted to give back,” he said.

Bowen’s relief as shelter manager, Dennis Miller, turned to volunteering for

the Red Cross before he retired. Miller, a senior engineering specialist at Cessna, lost his home in 2007 to the Greensburg tornado.

“I’ve been helped by the Red Cross,” said Miller, who has since moved to Clearwater. “They took care of us pretty well.”

Volunteers such as Miller and Bowen received several days of training before they could go out in the field, and have received additional

training since. James Williams, a spokesman for the Red Cross in Wichita, said his organization trains volunteers for free twice a year, usually the first week in March and the first week in September. They must go through the training before they are allowed to volunteer, he said.

Volunteers offer shelter for displaced pets

BY SUZANNE PEREZ TOBIAS AND BECCY TANNER The Wichita Eagle

Nadine Conner did something heroic early Sunday morning.

She braved flooded streets in south Wichita and opened her shop at 1:30 a.m. to allow pets rescued in the storm’s aftermath to have a place to stay.

“I am pleased that people listened and were prepared,” said Conner, owner of Sit Stay Dog Training Center and a member of the Sedgwick County Animal Response Team (SCART), which responds to and aids in the survival and welfare of animals during natural and manmade disasters.

Volunteers of the group were housing several pets whose owners brought them to emergency shelters Saturday night.

“We have them set up in crates.

They’re fed, they’re vaccinated.

They’re treated for fleas. … They all seem quiet and happy,” said Christen Skaer, a Wichita veterinarian and president of the Kansas Animal Response Team.

“This is what we train for and prepare for, and we’re very happy we’re able to care for these animals.”

But the amazing thing, Conner said, is that so few animals were brought in.

All told, 10 animals – eight dogs, a cat and a bunny – were taken in Saturday night at Sit Stay Dog Training Center, 1629 S. Meridian.

The Kansas Humane Society, 3313 N. Hillside, issued a news release Sunday saying it was waiving any sheltering costs to house pets of owners affected by the storms who may need boarding assistance.

Margaret Jacobs carries her 16-year-old dog, Snowy, back to their home at Pinaire Mobile Home Park.

Any stray pets or animals found in the Oaklawn area are being transported to Wichita Animal Control, 3303 N. Hillside. Any residents trying to find their pet should contact the Wichita Animal Shelter at 316-350-3366.

In addition, the Kansas Humane Society on Sunday said it was working in collaboration with Wichita Animal Services and the Sedgwick County Animal Response Team to

provide care and shelter for the city’s displaced pets.

“The Kansas Humane Society is anticipating needing additional space at our facility as Wichita, Salina and other Kansas communities deal with the effects of displaced pets over the next few days,” Jennifer Campbell wrote in a news release on behalf of the Humane Society.

tion fees Sunday and today. “By having more animals adopted out, our facility will have more room to provide emergency assistance and care for our region’s displaced pets,” the news release said.

If members of the public need assistance, they are advised to contact Wichita Animal Services or the Kansas Humane Society at 316-524-9196. Both facilities are open from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Monday through Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Conner reminded people that when there is a disaster, it is important to get pets in crates with leashes, food and water plus have documentation handy showing the animals are current on their shots.

In the case of homes without basements, an inside room, such as a bathroom, will do.

“I was a mile and a half from where the tornado hit,” Conner said. “I’m part of the Kansas Search and Rescue Association, and what they make us do is be prepared with a backpack containing 24 hours of food and water for all of us.

That backpack weighs 35 pounds, but I had it with me.”

According to the Sedgwick County Animal Response Team’s website, www.sedgwickcoart.org, 60 percent of the nation’s households have pets.

And, according to a 1998 pet owner survey by the American Animal Hospital Association, 80 percent of those pet owners say they would risk their lives for their pets.

During emergencies, SCART encourages all pet owners to evacuate with their animals to prevent endangering human and animal lives.

Please note that not all Red Cross and other disaster shelters accept pets and owners are advised to plan accordingly for the care of their human and pet families. More information on disaster preparedness planning for pets is available at the ASPCA’s website, www.aspca.org.

Insurance companies assessing storm damage The spokesman for one of the largest insurance companies in Wichita said his company will provide an auto drive-through by appointment for its policyholders to help expedite claims recovery.

“We feel for the people that got hit,” Jim Camoriano, spokesman for State Farm Insurance, said Sunday night. The company insures about 25 percent of property holders in Wichita.

Although the details of the drivethrough have yet to be worked out, Camoriano said, it will most likely be placed somewhere between Wichita and Derby.

“The storms that came through Friday and Saturday were so widespread, we are still assessing the damages,” he said.

Each insurance company sets its own threshold for working emergency claims.

Steve Witmer, spokesman for American Family Insurance, said his company has received between 100 and 120 property insurance claims from southeast Wichita, Andover and Derby.

“We haven’t seen enough severely damaged properties to require us to

bring a catastrophe team to the area,” Witmer said. “We will continue to evaluate the claims volume to make a decision if we need to bring in extra resources to serve customers.”

This weekend’s event was major, Camoriano said, but not nearly as devastating as it could have been.

“We are very attuned to storms and track them and start making assessments,” he said.

“We started to assess the storm well before it hit the ground. We mobilized a small army ahead of time. … With Wichita, we are still assessing what happened.”

If people sustained damage to their property or vehicles, they are encouraged to call their local insurance agent as soon as possible.

“The first thing we tell people is to go ahead and make temporary repairs to prevent anything else on their property from being damaged,” Camoriano said.

Keep receipts of any repairs made to give to the claim adjusters, he said.

Indians sweep Kansas City

BY TEREZ A. PAYLOR Kansas City Star

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chris Getz hustled to his right, snagged the grounder and threw the ball across his body with all his might. It INDIANS 13 was a nice ROYALS 7 play, the kind you like to see your second baseman make to end an inning.

Only this time, it didn’t. Cleveland’s Michael Brantley was ruled safe in a close call at first, and while there was plenty of baseball left to play — it was only the third inning, and the Kansas City Royals led by three runs — you can mark this as the exact

moment Sunday’s 13-7 loss started turning sour for the Royals “Yeah, 100 percent he got him,” said first baseman Eric Hosmer. “A big break for them.”

The crowd of 21,182 at Kauffman Stadium booed the call; like Hosmer said, replays would show that Brantley was out. But had the crowd known about the frustration that would soon follow — Cleveland scored six runs before the Royals recorded another out — there would have been even more anger.

MLB honors Robinson’s legacy

BY BEN WALKER Associated Press

NEW YORK — LaTroy Hawkins has heard the stories from his 87-year-old grandfather, about his days of picking cotton in Mississippi, about the times when there were no black players in big league baseball.

And about what it meant when Jackie Robinson broke the game’s color barrier.

“Without Jackie, I wouldn’t be in front of you,” the Los Angeles Angels pitcher told several dozen kids at a Bronx ballfield Sunday.

“Jackie’s role in my life has been

tremendous.”

From Dodger Stadium to Fenway Park, there were ceremonies as Major League Baseball honored Robinson and his legacy. Video tributes and on-field celebrations at every ballpark included his family, his former teammates, players from the Negro Leagues, NBA great Bill Russell and members of the Tuskegee Airmen.

Players, managers, coaches and umpires all wore No. 42 on Jackie Robinson Day to remember the 65th anniversary of the Please see MLB, Page 5B

Shockers bounce back for victory

SHOOTING GALLERY

BY PAUL SUELLENTROP The Wichita Eagle

EVANSVILLE, Ind. — The Shockers don’t know exactly what changed in the seventh inning Sunday. Faced with an embarrassing sweep, maybe they took a stand and competed harder. Maybe the breaks that didn’t go their way on Friday and Saturday evened out. Maybe they spotted Evansville’s pitching staff enough 14 runs the Aces WICHITA ST. EVANSVILLE 9 took the rest of the game off.

The whys didn’t matter so much after Wichita State hammered Evansville with two fiverun innings to win 14-9 and salvage the final game of the series at Braun Stadium. The Shockers pounded out 20 hits, 10 for extra bases with a seasonhigh three home runs on a day the wind blew out to left field.

The Shockers (22-17, 5-4 Missouri Valley Conference) trailed 9-4 entering the seventh and it appeared Evansville (22-14, 6-6) would become the only MVC team other than Missouri State to sweep WSU. But wacky things can happen against Sunday pitching, and the Shockers turned into a bunch of bashers without much warning.

“We were down, I’m not even sure how far we were down,” WSU designated hitter Johnny Coy said. “We got a couple runs together, and it was contagious.

It was pretty obvious, we got a couple hits and we were able to string them together.”

The Shockers tied it with five runs in the seventh, with Mikel Mucha’s pinch-hit double the key blow. They took a 14-9 lead with five more in the eighth, highlighted by doubles by Dayne Parker and Don Lambert and Casey’s Gillaspie’s two-run home run, his second homer of the day.

M

ercy for Texas was when the buzzer sounded at the end of the second period.

There were 20 minutes to go, but the Thunder had demoralized Texas to the point that it couldn’t have gotten much worse.

Wichita scored seven goals during the second period and threatened its franchise record for goals in a playoff game by whipping the Brahmas 8-1 at Intrust Bank Arena on Sunday. The Thunder lead the Berry Conference finals best-of-seven series 2-0; Game 3 is in North Richland Hills, near Dallas, on Wednesday.

The Thunder scored 10 goals in games during the 1994 and ’95 postseason, and each year it went on to win the CHL championship.

Wichita, with the best record during the regular season, was a favorite to win its first title since then, and it cemented that status with its most overpowering performance of the playoffs.

It was the kind of win that can propel a team through the rest of a postseason series, energizing it as much as it deflates the victim.

"You don’t expect those kind of games to happen in the playoffs but sometimes they do," said Thunder forward Matt Robinson, who start-

ed Wichita’s scoring with a penalty shot in the first period.

"It’s good morale for the guys to get the energy up and confidence up. It’s good to go into Game 3 with that kind of confidence."

The law of averages helped Robinson and fellow forwards Aaron Davis and Thomas Beauregard emerge from relatively long periods without many goals. Wichita’s seven-goal period allowed many playPlease see PLAYOFFS, Page 2B

Texas becomes breeding ground for NFL QBs

BY CHAREAN WILLIAMS Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III and Ryan Tannehill are the three highest-rated quarterback prospects in this month’s NFL Draft. It isn’t a surprise that the state of Texas will have three first-round quarterbacks.

The surprise is that it’s a first.

“There are a lot of good quarterbacks in Texas,” said

Tannehill, who passed for 2,668 yards and ran for another 1,439 in two seasons as Big Spring High School’s starter.

In the modern era, the closest the Lone Star State has come to matching this year’s crop of top quarterback prospects was in 1992, when David Klingler went sixth overall to Cincinnati and Denver selected Tommy Maddox 25th overall. Ty Detmer was a late-round pick that year.

In the 13 drafts after that,

from 1993-2005, 30 quarterbacks were selected in the first round. None were Texas-bred.

“I am surprised we had such a long gap without a Texas quarterback going in the first round,” Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb said. “Football is such a big deal in our state.”

There has been a run on Texas quarterbacks since.

Vince Young (Houston Madison) went third overall in 2006.

Kolb (Stephenville) went 36th overall in 2007. Matthew Staf-

ford (Highland Park) was the No. 1 overall pick in 2009. Colt McCoy (Jim Ned High) was a third-rounder in 2010. Last year, Christian Ponder (Colleyville Heritage) was the 12th overall pick; Andy Dalton (Katy) went 35th overall; Ryan Mallett (Texarkana Texas High) was a thirdround pick; and Greg McElroy (Southlake Carroll) was a seventh-rounder.

This year’s class has a chance to be an all-timer.

Luck, who played at Houston

Stratford, is expected to be the first overall pick of the Indianapolis Colts. The Washington Redskins traded two future firstrounders and a second-rounder this year to swap places with the St. Louis Rams, putting them in position to draft Copperas Cove’s Griffin second. Tannehill projects as a top-10 pick.

“Those are three exceptional players coming out,” said Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak, a

Goddard softball coach Rita Smith has had a rough five months. She suffered a heart attack on Nov. 1 and then battled a blood clot in a leg and other issues.

But after a surgery to take out her right ovary, things got worse when more tests were conducted and they found cancer. She has since had two rounds of chemotherapy and a hysterectomy in March.

“I just found out (on Wednesday) that they didn’t find any cancer,” Smith said.

“But to make sure we kill all the bad cells, I’ll have four more rounds (of chemotherapy).

“I’ve made it this far, I can get through four more.”

It’s been a difficult time, but Smith credits school and softball as key outlets.

And it doesn’t hurt that Goddard opened the season 6-0, including two big wins over Valley Center last week.

“I told them before the season, ‘we’ve got to be able to make the routine plays on defense,’” Smith said. “ ‘I’m not asking you to make spectacular plays.’ ” Freshman pitcher Megan Graf has pitched well, using her consistency to get out of tough situations.

Goddard not only is young, it has little depth. Yet that youth came through against Valley Center when Bohanan went out with a knee injury.

“We had to move a freshman second baseman to short and bring a (junior varsity) player to second, who had never practiced at second,” Smith said.

I’ve got flexibility. I’ve got several girls who can play multiple positions, and I didn’t have those things the last couple years.”

McKay played at third base and shortstop, but this season, Larson moved her to catcher.

“Both pitchers love working with her,” Larson said. “She’s very savvy back there.”

And both pitchers have been outstanding — Jody Larson has a 0.39 ERA, while Sterneker has a 1.40 ERA. Both are 3-0.

“Jody and Kelsey are both good,” Larson said. “I can do a lot of different things with them. They’re both good hitters, too; they’ve won games for each other with gamewinning hits. Kelsey had two homers against (Arkansas) City and Jody had a gamewinning triple to win for Kelsey. I’m very blessed.”

Searching for a solution Wichita State’s victory can’t obsure the fact its starting pitching is in disarray.

Evansville, a team hitting .255 entering the weekend, knocked out WSU’s No. 2 and No. 3 starters in three innings. Mitch Mormann gave up four hits and three runs in Saturday’s 5-4 loss.

Albert Minnis walked three and hit three batters on Sunday on his way to allowing four runs on one hit.

“It is a problem,” WSU coach Gene Stephenson said. “Minnis looked like a million dollars coming out in the first inning. We get him two runs in the top of the second, and he goes out and looks like a different pitcher.”

On the plus side, WSU does have options that look attractive.

Lefty Kris Gardner, who will start

Tuesday against Oklahoma State, has pitched well in back-to-back starts. Tobin Mateychick is coming off his strongest outing of the season, six innings against Kansas on Wednesday. Both are candidates to move into the weekend rotation.

Pitching coach Brent Kemnitz isn’t used to this kind of stress. He can usually write the Shockers down for at least two strong starts each weekend and often WSU’s Sunday starter is far more reliable than most. This season, the rotation is a constant source of worry.

Minnis, coming off a strong relief outing last week, continued that roll in the first inning with two groundball outs and a strikeout.

He threw two first-pitch strikes and didn’t go deeper than 2-2 in a count. In the second inning, he hit the first two batters and never recovered.

“Albert made no sense,” Kemnitz said. “He warmed up great. His approach was good going in. He had a great first inning. Then he just didn’t have the same mental approach in the second. Frustrating.”

Right at him Wichita State first baseman Casey Gillaspie went 0 for 8 in the first two games of the series.

So he didn’t expect much respect from the Aces on Sunday.

“I hadn’t been swinging it Friday and Saturday, so I knew they were going to challenge me,” he said. “I was looking for a fastball.”

Gillaspie was right. He homered on the first pitch in the second inning. He also homered on the first pitch in the eighth. He didn’t wait around in any of his at-bats, singling on the second pitch in the seventh and doubling on a 2-1 pitch in the ninth. He also struck out on three pitches in the fifth.

Sunday’s four hits raised his average to .351 in nine MVC games, best on the team. He has five home runs and 13 RBI in conference games.

“He’s letting the ball travel to him,” Stephenson said. “He has a very good eye.”

— Paul Suellentrop

Sunday’s win also showed off WSU’s depth. Kevin Hall came off the bench to start the seventh-inning rally by getting hit by a pitch. After the middle of the order did its damage, Mucha poked a double that hit the left-field wall, landing near the tape that marks fair and foul.

“It was close,” he said. “I’ll give it a couple inches. I wasn’t trying to put it out there, but it ended up there and got the job done.”

Gillaspie’s two-run single drove in two runs to cut the lead to 9-6. Harbuz doubled to score Gillaspie. Mucha’s hit tied it 9-all.

In the eighth, Parker led off with a double and scored on Coy’s single for a 10-9 lead.

Gillaspie’s homer made it 12-9.

Don Lambert, a pinch-hitter in the seventh, doubled and scored on a fielder’s choice by Mucha.

Ryan Hege, also a pinch-hitter, doubled in Mucha to make it 14-9.

Those outbursts finally subdued the Aces, who tormented Shocker pitchers much of the weekend with timely hitting and speed. WSU starter Albert Minnis cruised through the first

inning before a nightmarish second. He hit the first two batters and walked a third before giving up a grand slam to .129-hitting Trentt Copeland. He struggled through the third before A.J. Ladwig took over, with similar results.

Evansville scored four runs in the fifth to go up 8-4. Ladwig gave up a two-out RBI single to No. 8 hitter Andy Lasher on an 0-2 pitch he left up, prompting a lecture on the mound from pitching coach Brent Kemnitz.

Ladwig then struck out No. 9 hitter Tim Bodine, but catcher Bob Arens dropped the strike and threw wildly to first base, allowing Lasher to score from first. Eric Stamets then singled in Bodine. In the sixth, Kyle Pollack homered off WSU reliever Kyle Bouman, giving the Aces two home runs on the day and four for the season.

Rookie leads St. Louis over Cubs goal is to go out there and go seven innings and win the game no matter how the outing before went or whether it was good or bad, and that’s what I’m going to expect next week when I take it.”

The 26-year-old Carpenter is batting .409 with 10 RBIs in 22 at-bats, following up on success in spring training when he led the team with 25 hits. He singled his first two trips with an RBI, belted a two-run shot to straightaway center off Lendy Castillo in the fifth for his first career homer and added a two-run triple off Rodrigo Lopez in the seventh.

“We’ve got some guys dinged up, so the opportunty’s there, I’m just trying to make the most of it,” Carpenter said. “I couldn’t tell you if I would have dreamed of

baseman,’” manager Mike Matheny said. “It’s a great reward when you see somebody work as hard as Matt did.”

The rookie homered, tripled and drove in five runs, backing strong pitching from Jake Westbrook in a 10-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday.

“The boy can swing it, there’s no doubt about it,” Cubs outfielder Joe Mather said. “Looks like he’s here to stay.”

Cubs starter Paul Maholm (0-2) surrendered six runs in four innings. The left-hander is 0-7 with a 7.03 ERA in nine starts since his last win on July 10, 2011 against the Cubs when he was with Pittsburgh.

“I couldn’t tell you the last time I won,” Maholm said. “So my

ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Cardinals’ other Carpenter is fast making a name for himself.

Rookie Matt Carpenter, no relation to inCUBS 3 jured pitcher CARDINALS 10 Chris Carpenter, made his first opening day roster because of Skip Schumaker’s spring training injury. He’s getting a chance to play because Lance Berkman and David Freese have been nursing minor injuries.

When those guys come back, at the very least the Cardinals will have a very valuable bench piece.

“Berkman’s, he’s in there joking, ‘We found our first

having a day like this.

“You’re just up there trying to grind it out and I was fortunate to have a pretty successful day.”

Berkman missed the weekend series with a strained left calf but did some running Sunday and could be back Tuesday when the Cardinals open a three-game series against the Reds. Freese also could be back from an injured right ring finger, but outfielder Carlos Beltran was taken out in the sixth, four innings after he was hit by a pitch on the right forearm when he had trouble throwing.

“They both came in swearing up and down that Tuesday’s their day, so we’ll see what happens,” Matheny said.

SWEEP

From Page 1B Of course, the missed call and resulting Cleveland outburst helped bring an end to a particularly ugly series for the Royals, who were outscored at home 32-19 in Cleveland’s three-game sweep.

This particular game was so ugly that by the ninth inning, with his team trailing by eight and a bullpen completely worn out, Yost turned to outfielder Mitch Maier to pitch for only the second time in his career.

Maier retired the side in the ninth without allowing a run, providing one of the few highlights of the day for the Royals after Cleveland’s six-run third inning.

“The first two innings were pretty good,” said Royals starter Luis Mendoza, who allowed nine runs (five earned) and nine hits in four innings. “Just one bad inning.”

Some of the blame lies with Mendoza, who dropped to 0-2. But it’s worth noting that only two runs from that six-run third inning were earned, an indication that this disappointing result was a team effort.

“I don’t believe in bad luck,” Mendoza said. “It’s just we have to make better pitches, be more aggressive with two outs.”

Cleveland’s rally began with two outs in the third, when Brantley reached first, and continued when Asdrubal Cabrera followed with a single. Shin-Soo Choo doubled into the gap in right-center and cut the Royals’ lead to 3-2.

What followed was a chain of events that fans here have seen all too often. After the Royals intentionally walked Travis Hafner, Mendoza appeared to escape the inning when Shelley Duncan hit a catchable foul ball down the first-base side … only to see Hosmer drop it.

“It was a tough wind out there, and I was breaking to get to the fence and I was trying to work from there,” Hosmer said. “I looked up and it was back … just a boneheaded play on my part.”

The Royals tried to mount a two-out rally of their own, as consecutive singles and a walk loaded the bases for Alex Gordon. But Indians starter Ubaldo Jimenez (1-0) buckled down to retire Gordon on a 94 mph fastball. The Royals managed to cut into the deficit in the fourth inning with a RBI groundout by Hosmer, but quickly found themselves trailing by three again in the fifth, when Hafner hit a 456-foot bomb that hit the restaurant in right field and made the score 7-4.

Mendoza — who finished with a line of nine runs (five earned), four walks and a strikeout — allowed two more runners to reach base before he was replaced by José Mijares, who eventually allowed consecutive doubles that put the Indians ahead 10-4.

Philadelphia wins fight-filled battle against Pittsburgh 8-4 victory over Pittsburgh on Sunday in a fight-filled game in the Eastern Conference quarterfiFists were flying faster than shots on goal. Sidney Crosby and nal.

The result games. was still the same. The Flyers “Our goal is to finish it right rallied from another early deficit away,” Briere said. for a decisive Game 3 victory The goals might be hard to that placed them on the brink of find on a highlight reel.

NHL PLAYOFFS

period. There was a rare fight between superstars when Crosby squared off against Giroux.

No one got the better end of that scrap. But by the end, Flyers fans serenaded the Penguins with booming chants of “You can’t beat us!”

“All three games were kind of weird games,” Giroux said. “I guess I like weird games because we always finish by winning.”

Jordan Staal and James Neal scored twice for a Penguins team pushed to the limit by its hated, intrastate rival. Marc-Andre Fleury was benched after allowing six goals in two periods. He has allowed a whopping 17 goals in the first three games.

Coach Dan Bylsma said Fleury would start, “the next four

games.”

Hard to imagine at this rate, especially with NHL scoring leader Evgeni Malkin (109 points) yet to score a goal for the Penguins.

The Flyers played a postseason video that billed their run as the “Fight to the Cup.” They never expected a first period that would have left those old Broad Street Bullies smiling.

Each team had their top defenseman – Pittsburgh’s Kris Letang and Philadelphia’s Kimmo Timonen – tossed. So was Penguins forward Aaron Asham.

But the scene ripped straight out of the pages of Ripley’s came when Giroux and Crosby went at it against the backboard.

“In the end, that’s really play-

off hockey,” Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said. “A couple of the best players in the world dropping the gloves going at it.

Would I rather have G keep his gloves on? Sure. But when he’s fighting Sidney Crosby, that’s playoff hockey. That’s this series.”

Crosby ignited the scrum when he twice jabbed goalie Ilya Bryzgalov’s glove against the ice.

Giroux, third in the NHL in points this season, shoved Crosby from behind. Crosby, clearly not caring about his history of concussions, retaliated by shoving Giroux’s head against the glass.

“I don’t like them, because I don’t like any guy on their team,” Crosby said.

Predators 3, Red Wings 2 – Shea Weber turned boos into silence with a goal early in the first period and Nashville held on to beat Detroit to take a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference series.

Game 4 is Tuesday night in Detroit.

Panthers 4, Devils 2 — Stephen Weiss scored the first two playoff goals of his 10-year NHL career, Jose Theodore stopped 23 shots and Florida won a playoff game for the first time in nearly 15 years, beating New Jersey even the Eastern Conference series at a game apiece.

Game 3 is Tuesday night in New Jersey.

DRAFT PREVIEW: CENTERS This is a weak group of centers, and it would be really weak if not for the Big Ten, which might have the top three taken. It is possible as few as seven will be drafted, though need likely will force some teams to pick players who might not have draftable grades.

Konz who uses angles efficiently. He has good initial quickness but is not that strong or athletic. A four-year starter at Georgia, he projects as an NFL backup.

6. Quentin Saulsberry, Mississippi State, 6-2, 304: Saulsberry knows how to play.

He attacks defenders with enthusiasm even though he does not have a lot of power. A four-year starter, he has top intangibles. He is average physically, and not the quickest laterally, so his upside is limited. He has experience at guard and might be a backup center/guard.

7. Scott Wedige, Northern Illinois, 6-4, 300: He is tough and effective in a short area. He is pretty quick off the snap and gets some movement in the running game. He needs to develop strength and has the frame to bulk up.

Attendance at the program is technically voluntary, but most of the players under contract participate. Wide receiver Dwayne Bowe, who is unsigned but has been designated as the franchise player, could participate if he chooses but the Chiefs weren’t expecting him unless he had a last-minute change of plans.

The program has been modified under the NFL’s new collective bargaining agreement. Offseason programs are allowed to last only nine weeks, compared to 14 before. Instead of a maximum of 14 practices, teams are limited to 10. The Chiefs will in addition hold a minicamp for rookies in May and one for the entire team in June.

The first day of the conditioning program is always a big one at the Chiefs’ practice facility. This one is even more so given it’s the first time the Chiefs will work under Romeo Crennel as their permanent head coach.

The first step toward next season begins today. For Lilja, at least, it’s not soon enough.

Unless the Chiefs draft a guard in an early round, he figures to keep his starting spot next season.

But he’s taken notice of the changes around him on the offensive line, where freeagent addition Eric Winston will start at right tackle and Rodney Hudson will inherit the starting spot at center if Casey Wiegmann retires, as the Chiefs expect he will.

“I had a down year,” Lilja said. “I’m not happy about it and it wasn’t a good time to have a down year when you think about how close we came to winning the division and making the playoffs.

“So I’m getting kind of stircrazy. It’s been three months.

That’s a long time to be doing your own thing. I’m looking forward to getting back to the (team-supervised) workouts. I have to do a lot because I’m not a big guy. I’m not a superstrong guy. I don’t have the longest arms. A lot of these guys are circus freaks that I play against. They have all that stuff, so I’ve got to do some things to make up for that and that’s what I’m hoping to do this year.”

ett of the Philadelphia Stars from the Negro Leagues were recognized, along with members of the Tuskegee Airmen.

Cleveland manager Manny Acta said it was a special day.

“It has a lot of meaning to me.

Those guys opened the way for everyone else. Jackie and Larry Doby, Frank Robinson was the first African-American manager.

And Felipe Alou, Tony Perez. It was tough for those guys, even tougher for guys like us, minorities and foreigners.”

The Best 1. Peter Konz, Wisconsin, 6-5, 315: He has a nice combination of size, athleticism and long arms. Konz, who left Wisconsin early, clearly is the best center in the class and a potential late first-round pick. He has the power and technique to neutralize a nose tackle. He is durable and reliable, and plays smart. He also could be considered at guard. There is very little chance he will be a bust.

2. Michael Brewster, Ohio State, 6-4, 312: He is a chippy blocker with enough athleticism and strength to get the job done. Brewster knows how to use his ample size. He is smart and a good technician. He does not make mistakes often.

3. David Molk, Michigan, 6-1, 298: The four-year starter for the Wolverines was awarded the Rimington Trophy as the best college center in the country. He was a team captain and leader. Molk is a tough blocker who knows how to use his hands and get leverage. He needs to be more sound fundamentally because he is undersized and he must become more consistent with blocks on the second level.

4. Philip Blake, Baylor, 6-3, 311: A quick technician, Blake has decent size and can handle a powerful defender. He stays on his feet well and has fine balance, but he does not move as well as some centers. He also has some experience at tackle. Blake is 26, which could affect his draft stock.

5. Ben Jones, Georgia, 6-2, 303: He is a smart, competitive, fundamentally sound blocker

CLERK OF THE DISTRICT COURT by:Beth A Deaton PUBLISH: 4/9 and 4/16, 2012.

day the future Hall of Famer first took the field with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. Markers on each base noted the occasion.

Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson, Hawkins and several former players joined Robinson’s daughter, Sharon, at a youth clinic in a park where the old Yankee Stadium stood. Rachel Robinson, Jackie’s wife, and her family were set to take part in a tribute across the street Sunday night before the Angels played the New York Yankees.

Hawkins noted the dwindling percentage of black players in the big leaguers. There were only 8.5 percent on opening day in 2011 – there were twice as many in 1990 when the Richard Lapchick’s Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports at the University of Central Florida started tracking the number.

Hawkins thanked his granddad for always steering him toward baseball instead of basketball and encouraged parents to do the same. He also said colleges could help by offering four-year baseball scholarships.

“Play the game,” Hawkins said.

Asked whether he thought MLB would ever again achieve a high population of black players, he said: “Anything’s possible.”

Jackson recalled his days in the minor leagues, where he was not allowed to stay in the same hotels or eat in the same restaurants as his teammates. He said he sometimes spent the night on the couch at the apartments of Rollie Fingers, Joe Rudi, Dave Duncan and others.

“It was a very embarrassing time in your life,” he said.

Jackson paused to “to remember what it was like, what I went through” and reflected on the likes of Roy Campanella and Don Newcombe, black players who followed Robinson to the Dodgers.

“He represented all of us,” Jackson said. “I really feel he represented black and white.”

Newcombe and former Los Angeles star Tommy Davis threw out ceremonial first pitches at Dodger Stadium before the game against San Diego.

Hall of Fame Dodgers an-

The San Diego Padres stand for the national anthem before their game against the Dodgers on Sunday in Los Angeles.

All players wore No. 42 jerseys in honor of Jackie Robinson on the 65th anniversary of his breaking the Major League Baseball color barrier. nouncer Vin Scully, who had missed five games because of a bad cold, returned to the broadcast booth. Scully, now 84, called Brooklyn games for more than seven years when Robinson played.

“All I want to do is think about the game and Jackie and how grateful I am to be back,” Scully said.

Tweeted current Dodgers star Matt Kemp: “Thank u Jackie Robinson!!!”

In Boston, former Robinson teammate Ralph Branca threw out the ceremonial ball before Tampa Bay played Boston. The 86-year-old Branca tossed the pitch on one bounce from the front edge of the mound to his

son-in-law, Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine.

Branca remembered being at Ebbets Field a day before Robinson’s debut.

“I was in the locker room when Jackie walked in. I walked over, shook his hand, `Welcome aboard,’” Branca said.

At Safeco Field, Russell bounced his first pitch to Seattle’s Chone Figgins before the Mariners hosted Oakland. At Turner Field, Robinson’s grandson, Jesse Sims, was on the field with Atlanta outfielder Michael Bourn before Milwaukee visited Atlanta. At Citizens Bank Park, Harold Gould and Mahlon Duck-

PEARLS BEFORE SWINE

"God finally got his attention." – inscribed on the tombstone of a man who worked for 40 years as a waiter.

A good suit-preference signal is unmistakable. It grabs your partner’s attention. In today’s deal, West led a heart against 3NT, and South ducked East’s king and jack and won the third heart. West followed with three, confirming that he’d had a five-card suit, and then the seven.

Declarer next let the jack of diamonds ride, but when East took the king, he was at a loss.

To lead a spade from the queen looked risky; a club looked safe. So East led a club, and South took four clubs, four diamonds and a heart.

THIRD HEART An experienced partnership would beat 3NT routinely. On the third heart, West would follow with the queen, a sit-up-and-take-notice play.

The play of a strikingly high heart would direct East’s attention to the high-ranking suit.

So when East took the king of diamonds, he would lead a spade, and South would win seven tricks instead of nine.

MY ANSWER/BILLY GRAHAM Dear Rev. Graham: I admit I have a problem with pride. I’ve been very successful, but how should I deal with it? It would be wrong for me to pretend I’m a failure, wouldn’t it?

Dear Reader: It’s always wrong to pretend we’re something we really aren’t; when we do that, we’re telling a lie. Even if people believe us at first, eventually they’ll discover we weren’t telling the truth. The Bible says it is “better to be poor than a liar” (Proverbs 19:22).

The key is for you to realize that everything you have has come from God, and He alone deserves the credit for whatever you’ve been able to accomplish. After all, He gave your abilities to you, and He also gave you the opportunity to be successful. Even the ability to work hard and overcome obstacles has come from Him. This is why the Bible says, "Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment" (Romans 12:3).

You hold: ♠ Q 9 7 4 2 ♥ K J 9 o K 2 p 9 8 7. Your partner opens one heart, and the next player passes. What do you say?

This decision is close. If you judge that the hand is worth inviting game, respond one spade. Then if partner bids two of a minor suit, jump to three hearts. If instead you think the hand is worth no more than a single raise, bid two hearts directly. I’d raise to two hearts, but I’d try one spade with A 9 7 4 2, Q 9 3, K 2, 9 8 7.

DEAR ABBY: My friend “Veronica” is obsessed with food — not just eating it, but also talking about it, looking at it and watching me eat. She frequently asks me what I’m eating. I can’t open a container of yogurt without her asking what flavor it is.

On a daily basis, Veronica announces what she’s making for dinner that night, what she made the night before and what kind of desserts she has planned. I used to share my food with her, but I stopped when she wanted bites I didn’t offer. I had to stop buying from the vending machine at work, too, because Veronica began to expect to share. When I refused, she’d make “joking” snide remarks.

She never has any money to return the favors.

Veronica is a good cook and she’s not overweight. But she’s driving me crazy. Is her obsession some kind of disorder?
