Farm subsidies may wither under deficit-reduction plan

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

T O P E K A — Agricultural interests in Kansas could be getting smaller portions of government subsidies under efforts to slash federal spending.

U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis. and chairman of the House Budget Committee, has proposed a deficit-reduction

plan to cut spending by several trillion dollars.

While his proposals to cut Medicaid and privatize Medicare have grabbed most of the headlines, Ryan’s plan also includes cutting $30 billion over 10 years in federal farm subsidies. President Barack Obama’s deficit commission had called for a $10 billion cut in farm programs.

are a big beneficiary of these subsidies.

The state ranks sixth in the nation, having received $14.5 billion from 1995 to 2009 in U.S. Department of Agriculture subsidies, according to the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit research group.

The 1st U.S. House District in Kansas ranks second among congressional dis-

tricts with $8.7 billion in subsidies during the same time period, and is only slightly behind North Dakota, which is one congressional district and received $8.9 billion.

Even so, U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp, a Fowler Republican who represents the 1st District, said this when asked at a town hall meeting last week in Salina about farm subsidies: “Farmers are going

to have make the argument, to Head Start folks and others, that their subsidies are worth borrowing 42 cents for every dollar spent.”

According to the report of the meeting in the Salina Journal, several farmers in attendance said they wouldn’t miss the subsidies.

And Gov. Sam Brownback, who has received nearly $49,000 in subsidy payments

between 1995 and 2009, according to the Environmental Working Group, said agricultural subsidies must be on the table.

“All the programs, I think you have to look at,” Brownback said. He said the fact that Ryan has taken on changes to Medicare “just shows the serious nature of our budget deficit. I think you Please see FARM, page 2A

Rural doctor takes reins of KDHE

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Connector. Motivator. Administrator.

Those are the three words that Dr. Robert Moser used to describe his job as secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

After 22 years as a smalltown family doctor in western Kansas, Moser believes he can serve as the connection between communities and the agency. He also wants to open the communication lines within the agency.

Moser, 52, is enthusiastic about his role at KDHE, which has 1,061 employees.

“It’s very challenging, exciting and stimulating,” he said.

That’s because he is taking over during a time of great change in the health care industry, thanks to the Affordable Care Act. Also, KDHE is adding a new division, Health Care Finance, which includes Medicaid, the state employee health benefits package, state workers’ comRichard Gwin/Journal-World Photo pensation and the State Children’s Health Insurance Pro- DR. ROBERT MOSER talks of his experiences in Tribune, gram. That division needs to be where he worked for more than 20 years. Moser is the secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Please see DOCTOR, page 4A Environment under Gov. Sam Brownback.

As the Lawrence Police Department seeks to hire new officers, department leaders say the timing of the application process is important.

Police Chief Tarik Khatib, who was promoted to his position in February, would like the department’s recruiting process and training academy to start each spring, to expand the Khatib pool of applicants because many college graduates are looking for jobs then.

“Ideally we’d like to make it an annual event that starts closer to the time of graduation so that people can have an understanding that we do hire at that time,” said Capt.

Paul Fellers, of the community services division.

Department leaders also hope an annual recruiting process and academy can help curb the effects of attrition.

Training officer David Hogue said the department loses, on average, eight to nine officers a year, mostly to retirements. This causes staffing shortages on the streets because new hires participate in a 24-week training academy and also spend time paired with experienced officers in the field before working on their own.

Hogue said the department is seeking men and women who have interest in law enforcement, especially recent college graduates — not just ones with criminal justice degrees — or people who might be seeking a career change.

“We’re looking for people with all backgrounds,” Hogue said.

“Traditionally, I think people have seen police work as a calling, and I definitely believe that’s true. If you’ve had interactions with people and the public, then that is Please see POLICE, page 7A

DIANE KENNEDY, Lawrence, gets the kite ready for her 5-year-old grandson, Lucas Kennedy-Eker, Olathe, to fly. They participated in an event Saturday at Holcom Park. The event was organized by Outside for a Better Inside, a nonprofit organization that aims to get children playing outside and exploring nature.

Lawrence resident Diane Kennedy took her 5-year-old grandson Lucas KennedyEker on his first kite-flying adventure Saturday.

“It’s high,” Lucas said with enthusiasm, pointing at his new SpongeBob SquarePants kite. Then, Grandma let him take over.

“Fun,” he said with big smile.

Lucas was among about a dozen kids who participated in a kite-flying event in Holcom Park.

It was organized by Outside for a Better Inside, a Lawrence nonprofit group

that is working to get more children outside and exploring nature. The group provided kites and gave away toys that can be used outside, like chalk, balls and jump ropes.

“We believe children who play creatively outside will be happier and healthier,” said Mary Jones, a member of the group.

Outside for a Better Inside is one of 16 groups that have received a grant from LiveWell Lawrence, a coalition of nonprofits, schools, businesses and people who are working to integrate regular physical activity and healthy eating into every aspect of community life.

The coalition got its start

in fall 2008 when the Douglas County Community Foundation received a grant from Kansas Health Foundation. It has received $300,000 during the past three years. So far, it has given out $92,150.

“Our goal from the very beginning was to bring wellness into all aspects of community life, and that’s still the ultimate goal,” Marilyn Hull, LiveWell Lawrence facilitator, said. “What we’ve been doing is putting some elements in place that will make a difference over the long run.”

Here are the wellness projects that LiveWell has supported:

● K-State Research and Extension, $13,500.

It has started a WorkWell Lawrence program. There is a leadership team of representatives from the largest employers in the community that are meeting monthly, sharing ideas and setting goals. The team represents more than 11,000 workers. ● Community Mercantile Education Foundation, $12,000.

The foundation teamed up with West Junior High School to start a school garden project last year. The project has been so successful that it expanded this

have to look at everything.”

Ryan’s plan for Medicare would require future retirees, who are now 54 and younger, to purchase private insurance with government vouchers. His plan on agricultural subsidies would reduce direct payments to farmers and the crop insurance program.

The Environmental Working Group called the proposal “a small but welcome step” but noted it will be up to the House Agriculture Committee to decide whether to implement these reforms.

“The House proposal is encouraging, but much more work needs to be done in the upcoming food and farm bill,” said Craig Cox, Environmental Working Group senior vice-president and director of EWG’s Iowa office.

“We need to create a fiscally responsible safety net that works for all farmers while ensuring that kids have access to healthy food, people hurt hardest by the recession can feed their families and critical protections for our water and soil are in place,” Cox said.

EWG’s farm subsidy database shows that 60 percent of American farmers receive no subsidies, while 10 percent of the largest and wealthiest subsidy recipients have received 74 percent of all the subsidies that have been paid since 1995.

It is building a mountain bike trail for novice riders.

The trail will connect to the other mountain bike trails in North Lawrence. It is scheduled to open in the fall. ● Douglas County Housing Authority, $1,500.

It just kicked off a new walking school bus program at New York School. The community is hoping the program will be replicated at other schools. ● Langston Hughes School PTO, $1,500.

The school has a marathon club, which encourages students to run or walk before or after school. Students earn recognition when they’ve completed a marathon, or 26.2 miles. The PTO has provided marathon club starter kits, which contain items like pencils, tally forms, clipboards and a cowbell, to every public elementary school in Lawrence. It also has started a communitywide program with the help of Hy-Vee Food Store.

Hull, of LiveWell Lawrence, said its work is just beginning.

She said a recent health report showed that the obesity rate in Douglas County had ticked up a notch.

“We are fighting against a really powerful cultural trend, and it’s going to take time and energy and resources to begin to turn that around,” she said.

“But, we have to do something because the status quo isn’t sustainable. We can’t continue to support a health care system that has so many people in it with chronic health conditions.”

Naps prompt work schedule changes The Federal Aviation Administration changed air traffic control work schedules Saturday, acknowledging it has a widespread problem with fatigue after another controller fell asleep on duty — this time in Miami.

“We are taking important steps today that will make a real difference in fighting air traffic controller fatigue. But we know we will need to do more. This is just the beginning,” FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt said in a statement.

Today, Babbitt and Paul Rinaldi, president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, will begin visiting air traffic control facilities to hear what controllers have to say and to remind them that sleeping on the job won’t be tolerated. Their first stop is Atlanta, home of the world’s busiest airport.

Babbitt said the changes to controllers’ schedules will be implemented within 72 hours, but he didn’t describe the changes.

Geithner: Congress to raise debt limit Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner says Republican leaders have privately assured the Obama administration that Congress will raise the government’s borrowing limit in time to prevent an unprecedented default on the nation’s debt.

But a top Republican quickly pushed back Sunday and said there was no guarantee the GOP would agree to increase the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling without further controls on federal spending.

Geithner Geithner told ABC’s “This Week” and NBC’s “Meet the Press” that Republicans told President Barack Obama in a White House meeting last Wednesday that they will go along with a higher limit.

But Rep. Paul Ryan, the chairman of the House Budget Committee, said that while it was true nobody wants the country to default, it’s essential to address future borrowing at the same time.

The government is projected to reach its borrowing limit no later than May 16 and risks going into an unprecedented default. Geithner has said he will have a few options he can use that would delay a possible government default until about July 8.

“I haven’t known him to take much of a pause without being instructed to do so,” says Beth Sarver, program manager with the Accessible Arts studio at the school.

Now, people have the opportunity to enter Johnson’s dreams in person through his “Dream Series,” a solo exhibition of his works inspired by the dreams he says he’s had since just after he lost his sight.

When Eudora High School math teacher Scott Keltner teaches his students how to calculate rates next semester, he hopes to be standing in front of a wind turbine next to the school’s football field.

This month, the school received the final sign-off from the city of Eudora to build the turbine. Now, it’s just a matter of raising the funds to cover the cost of installing it. While the school’s administration encouraged the project, it did so with one caveat: The district didn’t have any money to spend.

“We’ve got all the dominoes set up and are just ready to knock them over,” Keltner said.

Keltner has been applying for grants to help fund the project, which could cost between $8,000

“For the longest time it was only one or two or three interns a summer. After Hans got involved, it’s stepped up to be more like 10 interns a summer.”

“Not only (can we) push our exchange programs a little, but the very special reason is there will be a new cooperation between the new Eutin summer festival and the KU School of Music,” said Martin Vollertsen, chairman of Friends of Lawrence in Eutin, who also made the trip.

By helping revive the opera festival, which took a financial hit last year, Hagen and his colleagues made it possible for about 70 KU student musicians to travel to Eutin this summer for six weeks to perform “Don Giovanni” and “Hansel and Gretel.”

His family Moser grew up in Tribune, a town of 740 people. His father owned a garage and body shop, and his mom was an accountant.

“My dad was probably my best teacher,” he said.

He would repair someone’s car to keep it running even if they didn’t have the money to pay for it — often exchanging his work for things like piano lessons for one of his five children.

That’s why Moser said he charged his patients based on their ability to pay.

“I just didn’t want people not coming to see me because they didn’t have the money,” he said. “It’s much cheaper to take care of it now than it would be if you kept putting it off.”

Moser graduated from the Kansas University School of Pharmacy in 1981, the KU School of Medicine in 1985 and completed his residency at Smoky Hill Family Practice in Salina. He returned to Tribune to fulfill his obligation with the Kansas Medical Stu-

He figured he would practice for four years in his hometown and then move elsewhere.

“It just never seemed to be the right time to make any changes,” he said, especially when he started a family.

He and his wife, Dalene, also a “Tribune townie,” raised daughters Lauren and Madison. Lauren is a senior at Southwestern University in Winfield, and Madison is a KU freshman.

His practice When Moser started practicing in Greeley County in 1988, there was one doctor who had been there for 30 years. In two years, he retired.

“All of a sudden, I was the only doctor,” Moser said.

Eight months later, a longtime doctor in adjacent Wal-

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD

lace County also retired, and so Moser took on even more patients.

Moser saw patients in the clinic, hospital, emergency room and in long-term care.

He was the county health officer, medical director for Emergency Medical Services and county coroner.

He survived three years alone, seeing about 40 people in the clinic each day, before Dr. Wendel Ellis was recruited to join him.

Now, there are four doctors and three midlevel providers who cover two hospitals and three clinics in Greeley, Wallace and Hamilton counties.

“I think I left it in better shape than I found it,” he said.

In August, he left Tribune to become director of Rural Health and Outreach at KU School of Medicine-Wichita.

It served as a stepping stone for him.

“I truly believe things happen for a reason,” Moser said.

“If I had come from private practice right into this position, it would have been overwhelming.”

Priorities, concerns Moser sees these areas as critical: ● Lack of primary care doctors.

He said Kansas needs about 600 more primary care doctors.

“We really do have a shortage,” he said.

Studies show that the more primary care providers you have per capita, the better the health outcomes and the lower the costs for health care.

Moser said the biggest problem is that primary doctors aren’t paid enough, and that’s why we’ve ended up with a health system that’s made up of 70 percent specialists compared with 30 percent primary care. He said it should at least be 5050, especially as more patients are developing chronic conditions, like dia-

betes, arthritis and high blood pressure. ● Health reform.

Moser seemed to have mixed feelings about the effects of the Affordable Care Act and is taking a wait-andsee approach.

For example, he asked, if more people become insured should the government continue to fund safety net clinics? Or, should the funding be used to train more primary care doctors?

“There are a lot of policy questions and obviously a lot of current discussion going on — not only in our state but across the country,” he said.

He clearly supports the Health Information Exchange. He said KDHE will receive more robust data and faster, which will allow it to know where problems exist and more quickly design an intervention.

He described the Medicaid reimbursement increase for primary doctors as a halfhearted effort because it’s only for two years. ● Environment.

Moser admits he’s not an “environmental scientist,” but he has some experience.

As county health officer, he took calls about standing water, rabid dogs and dilapidated structures.

He was on the economic development board in Greeley County when the possibility of a new coal-fired power plant in nearby Holcomb was being hotly debated. Moser said the plant provides an opportunity to have transmissions lines go through western Kansas that would allow the development of wind energy.

“If you don’t have another reason to build those transmission lines, wind energy doesn’t produce the kind of

revenues that a community could build just to do it,” he said.

Moser supports building the plant because he believes it complies with state and federal air quality requirements.

What’s the top environmental challenge for Kansas?

“I think a lot of things are in line with where we need to go,” he replied. ● Public health.

Without hesitation, Moser said obesity is the top health challenge.

“Our communities are not designed to encourage walking or bicycling, so we really do have to look at that seriously,” he said.

He also thinks fewer families know how to grow a garden and eat healthy.

Moser said he’s as guilty as anyone.

“It’s much easier to run home and grab something off the shelf, out of box, that’s processed, and fix it than it is to make it from scratch,” he said.

For exercise, he runs twice a week and lifts weights.

“I am certainly not trying to look like He-Man,” he said, laughing. “It’s just something that makes me break out in a sweat and huff and puff, if I can’t be out running.”

Moser said he’s good at counseling patients and then not following his own advice.

“I’ve always told my patients to eat healthy, be active — active like I am telling you, not like I am doing because you don’t want to have my sleep habits. You don’t want my eating habits,” he said.

2011 Focus Film Festival crowns winners

By Sarah Henning shenning@ljworld.com

Winners of the 2011 Focus Film Festival, sponsored by Lawrence High School, were announced Sunday afternoon at Liberty Hall.

Students from 15 high schools entered about 85 films for the contest, which was judged by a group of local film experts — Marc Havener, Jon Niccum, Tamara Falicov and Patrick Rea — as well as the Oscar-nominated director of “Winter’s Bone,” Debra Granik.

Lawrence High students won several awards, with prizes going to Zoey Hearn,

and $10,000 to install. In the best of circumstances, the tower could be up by graduation day next month, but it might have to wait until football season or later.

The 51-foot high turbine with six-foot blades will stand just inside the district’s stadium fence.

With the right wind speeds, the turbine would generate 2.4 kilowatts of electricity. A nearby transformer has the ability to feed 120 volts to the stadium’s press

box and concession stand.

The energy won’t be enough to power all the overhead lights for a night football game, but it could help cover the smaller number of lights left on for nighttime walkers and runners, plus two drink coolers in the concession stand.

But Keltner sees the greatest potential in the classroom.

Along with being a tool to better demonstrate a realworld use of rates, the wind turbine generates data that students can use to build graphs, compute standard deviations and calculate long-term averages.

Those concepts are easier to grasp when students can feel 12 mph winds and see the blades spinning, Keltner said.

Keltner also hopes the project will inspire students to become interested in the renewable energy industry.

He points to the growing number of students looking to be wind turbine technicians.

“It seems to be a reasonable way to approach students that here is an emerging job field, here is what you can do with it, this could be the wave of the future for our state,” Keltner said.

Group seeks Kansas site for new war memorial MANHATTAN (AP) — A new foundation has set its sights on Kansas as the future home of a memorial to all U.S. service members who have died in the series of conflicts that began with the first Gulf War. “Most of the great war memorials are in Washington, D.C.,” said Tonya Evans, founder and CEO of the American Fallen Warrior Memorial Foundation, based in Lawrence. “We chose Kansas for this memorial mainly because it’s in the middle of the country, which will make it more accessible to the rest of the country.”

Founded earlier this year, the group has approached four communities — Manhattan, Topeka, Lawrence and Kansas City, Kan. — to gauge interest in having the memorial built on their land.

Evans’ vision is a 20-acre spread with a 130-foot archway consisting of an American flag strung between two pillars as the entrance. Ringing a central plaza would be individual plaques honoring each service member killed as a result of operations from Desert Storm through the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Two buildings would serve as museums and education centers.

“It’s been nearly two decades since the Gulf War and nothing has been done for those veterans,” Evans told The Manhattan Mercury.

“This memorial is long overdue.”

Evans said all four cities have expressed interest in having the memorial, but said

class Platter teaches, even those in which he is not enrolled as a student. In the classes, Johnson creates clay sculptures, ceramics and flatworks made of crayon and wicky sticks, which are wax string art implements developed for visually impaired artists.

All of the works feature some scene from Johnson’s fantasy world, which Sarver says may be made up of Johnson’s waking and sleeping dreams, as well as his uninhibited imagination. Sarver can, for the most part, only speculate, since Johnson’s mind is difficult to fathom: In addition to being blind, he has atypical (high-functioning) autism.

“After he lost his vision, he started having these dreams … likely those dreams came during the night and during the day and were how he coped with the loss of his vision and just a typical behavior of a young person,” said Sarver, who has worked with Johnson for two years.

“And then when you add the (element) of autism, where they focus in and get caught up in different things.”

Magic, fantasy, technology Though Sarver doesn’t label Johnson a “savant,” per se, she says the most wellknown comparison to his condition would be the character Raymond Babbitt, an autistic savant, in the film “Rain Man.” Like Babbitt, Johnson has over the years

Caveats and morals From the works in the “Dream Series,” in which Johnson himself is often depicted flying through the sky with mythical creatures and fairy princesses, the royal kingdom of his imagination seems as magical as he describes. Still, he says, there are some rules one must abide by: “Be careful what you wish for in your dreams,” Johnson says, “’cause wishes can be permanent.”

Also, and this is the most important rule to remember, “your wishes cannot work if you’re going out to a strip club or going out to a bar, because if you’ve been drinking alcohol, your wish, your wish privileges will be taken away by the fairy queen,” Johnson said emphatically, adding, “Don’t ever use bad words or foul language that may cause social contamination, because you’ll permanently lose privileges of making wishes … and you cannot smoke cigarettes either, and (you) should not do any of these harmful substances, ’cause (you should) always (make) smart choices.”

Manhattan would be a “great fit” because of city’s relationship with nearby Fort Riley.

Topeka would also be fitting, she said, because it’s the state capital.

Lyle Butler, president of the Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce, said the memorial would be a great addition to the city, but noted possible issues meeting the foundation’s requirements.

“They want the memorial next to I-70, and we only have a few acres of land there with no infrastructure,” he said.

“It’s an interesting project in its very preliminary stages, but anytime we can get something like this that will bring people to the region, it deserves a serious look.”

Evans, a Kansas native, said she wants the memorial built in her home state partly to counter some stereotypes and images. “Throughout the country we are known for Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz, but also for the Westboro Baptist Church,” she said, referring to the Topeka church whose members picket military funerals claiming soldiers’ deaths are divine punishment on the nation for tolerating homosexuality.

“Westboro is such a small group but they get a lot of attention, and by bringing this memorial back to Kansas we can show the country that we do love and support our troops,“ she said. “And with our state’s strong military connection, getting this memorial here felt like the right thing to do at the right time.”

Platter said. “And he will bounce around; he’s got a lot of different things going on, so at first sight it might look like he’s scattered. But when you start talking about what he’s doing and the ideas behind what he’s doing, they’re all very linear; they build off of each other and they need each other to exist.”

Technology is another great interest of Johnson’s, and he frequently and easily uses technological terms like data, screen capture and progress bar to describe his dreams. For example, when describing the process of sending one’s wishes for possible grant consideration in a dream, Johnson says, “If the progress bar goes up to 100 percent, the dialogue box changes the message … your wish has successfully been sent without interference.”

“It’s something that took me awhile to pick up on, but AJ assumes that we all understand what he means because it’s a language that he’s familiar with,” Platter said.

In an interview prior to Johnson’s exhibit opening, Platter said believing in magic over a religious belief system was a conscious decision Johnson made shortly after losing his sight. To which Johnson, who is affectionately referred to by all the staff at KSSB as “AJ,” added in all seriousness, “I just reformatted my brain to the file system VTRMS: Virtual Royal Magic System.”

For those who don’t believe in magic, these thought processes of Johnson’s might be hard to follow, but, Platter says, don’t misunderstand — there is more to Johnson than originally meets the eye.

“Something that AJ’s got that’s pretty unique to just about any artist, but it’s also kind of key to being a successful artist, is he’s able to keep focused on a body of ideas,”

N.C. most devastated of storm-stricken states

By Brock Vergakis and Emery P. Dalesio Associated Press Writers

ASKEWVILLE, N.C. — A tornado-spewing storm system that killed at least 45 people across half the country unleashed its worst fury on North Carolina, where homes broke apart, trees snapped and livestock were swept into the air. Residents in the capital city and rural hamlets alike on Sunday mourned the dead, marveled at their own survival and began to clean up devastated neighborhoods.

Observers reported more than 60 tornadoes across North Carolina on Saturday, but most of the state’s 21 confirmed deaths occurred in two rural counties. A thunderstorm spawned a tornado that killed four people in southeastern Bladen County, then kept dropping tornadoes as it hopscotched more than 150 miles, eventually moving into Bertie County and killing 11 more.

Heavy winds swept some homes from their foundations, demolished others and flipped cars on tiny rural roads between Askewville and Colerain, Bertie County Manager Zee Lamb said. At least three of those who died were from the same family, he said.

The winds ripped to shreds the doublewide mobile home in Askewville where Justin Dunlow had sought shelter for his 3-year-old daughter, 5year-old son and himself. The 23-year-old roofer, whose own mobile home nearby also was destroyed, lay on both children as the storm did its worst.

“I just started praying, and the wall fell on top of us and that’s what kept us there,” he said. “I can replace the house, but I can’t replace my babies.

And that’s what I thought about. I’m alive. My babies are alive.”

Associated Press Writer

CHICAGO — Suicide attempts by gay teens — and even straight kids — are more common in politically conservative areas where schools don’t have programs supporting gay rights, a study involving nearly 32,000 high school students found.

Those factors raised the odds and were a substantial influence on suicide attempts even when known risk contributors like depression and being bullied were considered, said study author Mark Hatzenbuehler, a Columbia University psychologist and researcher.

His study found a higher rate of suicide attempts even among kids who weren’t bullied or depressed when they lived in counties less supportive of gays and with relatively few Democrats. A high proportion of Democrats was a measure used as a proxy for a more liberal environment.

The research focused only on the state of Oregon and

NATHANIEL RAMEY, LEFT, COMFORTS MEGAN HURST at her grandmother’s house in Askewville, N.C., on Sunday after a tornado struck Saturday.

The violent weather began Thursday in Oklahoma, where two people died, before cutting across the Deep South on Friday and hitting North Carolina and Virginia on Saturday. Authorities said seven people died in Arkansas; seven in Alabama; seven in Virginia; and one in Mississippi.

More than 240 tornadoes were reported from the storm system, including 62 in North Carolina, but the National Weather Service’s final numbers could be lower because some tornadoes may have been reported more than once.

Saturday was North Carolina’s deadliest day for tornadoes since 1984, when 22 twisters killed 42 people and injured hundreds. The state emergency management agency said it had reports of 23 fatalities from Saturday’s storms, but local officials confirmed only 21 deaths with The Associated Press.

The conditions that allowed for the storm occur on the Great Plains maybe twice a year, but they almost never happen in North Carolina, according to Scott Sharp, a weather service meteorologist in Raleigh.

The atmosphere was unstable, which allows air to rise and fall quickly, creating winds of hurricane strength or greater. There was also plenty of moisture, which acts as fuel for the violent storms. Shear winds at different heights, moving in different directions, created the spin needed to create tornadoes, Sharp said.

In Virginia, local emergency off icials reported seven storm-related deaths, said state emergency management spokesman Bob Spieldenner.

Spieldenner said the state medical examiner’s office confirmed two people died i n G l o u ce s te r Co u n ty, where a tornado hit; two

died in flash flooding in Waynesboro; and one person died in Wythe County when a tree fell on a mobile home. Officials were still investigating a death in Page County and one more re p o r te d i n G l o u ce s te r County.

North Carolina officials have tallied more than 130 serious injuries, 65 homes destroyed and another 600 signif icantly damaged in North Carolina, according to state public safety spokeswoman Julia Jarema. Officials expect those totals to climb as damage assessments continue.

Gov. B everly Perdue declared a state of emergency. After spending much of Sunday touring hard-hit areas, including downtown Raleigh, she said that despite her experience with natural disasters, the damage this time was so hard to bear it nearly brought her to tears.

created a social index to assess which outside factors might contribute to suicidal tendencies. Other teen health experts called it a powerful, novel way to evaluate a tragic social problem.

“Is it surprising? No. Is it important? Yes,” said Dr. Robert Blum of Johns Hopkins’ Bloomberg School of Public Health.

The study “takes our relatively superficial knowledge and provides a bit more depth. Clearly, we need lots more understanding, but this is very much a step in the right direction,” he said.

Blum serves on an Institute of Medicine committee that recently released a report urging more research on gay health issues. Blum said the new study is the kind of research the institute believes has been lacking.

The independent group advises the government on health matters.

The new study was published online today in the journal Pediatrics.

Previous research has

found disproportionately high suicide rates in gay teens. One highly publicized case involved a Rutgers University freshman who jumped off a bridge last year after classmates recorded and broadcast the 18-year-old having sex with a man.

The study relied on teens’ self-reporting suicide attempts within the previous year. Roughly 20 percent of gay, lesbian and bisexual teens said they had made an attempt, versus 4 percent of straight kids.

The study’s social index rated counties on five measures: prevalence of same-sex couples; registered Democratic voters; liberal views; schools with gay-straight alliances; schools with policies against bullying gay students; and schools with antidiscrimination policies that included sexual orientation.

Gay, lesbian and bisexual teens living in counties with the lowest social index scores were 20 percent more likely to have attempted suicide

than gays in counties with the highest index scores. Overall, about 25 percent of gay teens in low-scoring counties had attempted suicide, versus 20 percent of gay teens in highscoring counties.

Among straight teens, suicide attempts were 9 percent more common in low-scoring counties. There were 1,584 total suicide attempts — 304 of those among gays, lesbians and bisexuals.

Hatzenbuehler said the results show that “environments that are good for gay youth are also healthy for heterosexual youth.”

The study is based on 2006-08 surveys of 11thgraders that state health officials conducted in Oregon classrooms; Oregon voter registration statistics; Census data on same-sex couples; and public school policies on gays and bullying.

The researchers assessed proportions of Democrats versus Republicans; there were relatively few Independents. Information on nonvoters wasn’t examined.

Emancipation Day marks the occasion when President Abraham Lincoln signed a law ending slavery in the District of Columbia. Lincoln signed it April 16, 1862, more than eight months before he signed the Emancipation Proclamation, which eventually led to all slaves being freed.

Experienced officers from other cities can still apply this round, but many of the department’s officers got their start in Lawrence.

“A lot of people have start-

Cory, who leads the training unit, said the number of new hires this time will depend on how many qualified applicants there are and what city leaders allot to the department.

HELSINKI — Finnish voters dealt a blow Sunday to Europe’s plans to rescue Portugal and other debt-ridden economies, ousting the probailout government and giving a major boost to a euroskeptic nationalist party.

With all ballots counted, the biggest vote-winner was the conservative National Coalition Party, part of the outgoing center-right government and a

strong advocate for European integration.

But its main ally, the Center Party led by Prime Minister Mari Kiviniemi, said it would drop out of the government after falling behind two opposition parties that have challenged eurozone bailouts.

The anti-immigration and staunchly euroskeptic True Finns don’t see why Finland should rescue Europe’s “squanderers,” while the Social Democrats have called for changes to how they are funded.

TOKYO — A blueprint for ending radiation leaks and stabilizing reactors at Japan’s crippled nuclear plant drew a lackluster response today, as polls showed diminishing public support for the government’s handling of the country’s recent disasters.

The plan issued by Tokyo Electric Power Co. over the weekend, in response to a government order, is meant to be a first step toward letting some of the tens of thousands of evacuees from near the co m pa ny ’s Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant return to their homes.

Those forced to flee due to radiation leaks after a catastrophic earthquake and tsunami on March 11 knocked out the plant’s power and cooling systems are frustrated that their exile will not end soon. And off icials acknowledge that unforeseen complications, or even another natural disaster, could set that timetable back even further.

“Well, this year is lost,” said Kenji Matsueda, 49, who is living in an evacuation center in Fukushima after being forced from his home 12 miles from the plant. “I have no idea what I will do. Nine months is a long time. And it could be longer. I don’t think they really know.”

Pressure has been building on the government and TEPCO to resolve Japan’s worst-ever nuclear power accident, and Prime Minister Naoto Kan is facing calls for his resignation.

“You should be bowing your head in apology. You clearly have no leadership at all,” Masashi Waki, a lawmaker from the opposition Liberal Democratic Party, shouted during an intense grilling of Kan and members of his Cabinet in parliament today.

“I am sincerely apologizing for what has happened,” Kan said, stressing that the government was doing all it could to handle unprecedented disasters.

TEPCO’s president, Masataka Shimizu, looked visibly ill at ease as lawmakers heckled and taunted him.

“I again deeply apologize for causing so much trouble for residents near the complex, people in Fukushima and the public,” Shimizu said.

Polls by several Japanese national newspapers released today showed widespread dissatisfaction, with

TOKYO ELECTRIC POWER CO. (TEPCO) CHAIRMAN TSUNEHISA KATSUMATA reacts during a news conference at the company’s headquarters in Tokyo on Sunday. TEPCO, the operator of the crippled nuclear power plant leaking radiation in northern Japan, announced a plan Sunday that would bring the crisis under control within six to nine months and allow some evacuated residents to return to their homes. more than two-thirds of Japanese surveyed unhappy with how Kan’s administration has dealt with the nuclear crisis.

“Nothing concrete,” said a headline in the Mainichi newspaper of the plan. “The nuclear timetable does not show enough consideration for the residents,” said the Nihon Keizai, a f inancial newspaper.

A majority of those surveyed in the polls by the Mainichi, Nihon Keizai and Asahi newspapers expressed support, though, for tax increases to pay for reconstruction of areas devastated by the tsunami.

Goshi Hosono, an adviser to the prime minister and member of his nuclear crisis management task force, said the government would closely monitor TEPCO’s implementation of its crisis plan and hoped it could be carried out ahead of schedule.

The timetable’s first step focuses on cooling the reactors and spent fuel pools, reducing radiation leaks and decontaminating water that has become radioactive, within three months. The second step, for within six to nine months, is to bring the release of radioactive materials fully under control, achieve a cold shutdown of the reactors and cover the buildings, possibly with a form of industrial cloth.

Nuclear safety officials described the plan as “realistic,” but acknowledged there could be setbacks.

Misplaced effort Cutting off funds for family planning clinics won’t affect the funding of abortions, but it could have a devastating health impact on many Kansas women.

F

amily planning is one of the most effective ways to prevent unplanned pregnancies. Preventing unplanned pregnancies, in turn, is a key component in reducing the number of abortions in Kansas and across the country.

For that reason, it’s hard to understand why some Kansas legislators want to reduce access to family planning services for low-income men and women.

The current target of this effort is Planned Parenthood, which receives federal Title X funds to help offset the cost of providing various health and family planning services. Although some Planned Parenthood clinics offer abortion services, it is against the law to use Title X funds for such services. Nonetheless, Planned Parenthood has been targeted by members of Congress who want to cut off all Title X funding for the group.

That battle has also spread to Kansas, where members of the Kansas House have passed a budget that includes a proviso saying that, even if it is approved by the federal government, no Title X funding will be allowed to go to any Planned Parenthood clinic in the state.

The budget passed by the Kansas Senate doesn’t include that proviso.

Planned Parenthood operates three clinics in Kansas, in Wichita, Hays and Overland Park, but only the clinics in Wichita and Hays receive Title X funds. Title X funds also are allocated to about 80 county or city/county health departments in Kansas, including the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department. All of those clinics provide family planning services along with other life-saving health services such as HIV testing, Pap smears, cancer screenings and breast exams.

The Title X funds that go to those clinics are used to offset the cost of caring for patients who are uninsured and would be unable to pay for such services elsewhere. Low-income patients are charged on a sliding scale, based on their income.

The Title X funding issue is particularly important to the Planned Parenthood clinic in Hays, which is the only clinic in Ellis County that provides health and family planning services for low-income people. Of the eight counties adjacent to Ellis County, only four provide any Title X services. In one of those counties, for instance, services are available but only one day per month. Even if the state tries to reallocate the Title X funds to other clinics, those clinics might not be willing or able to ramp up quickly to provide services in areas that now are served only by Planned Parenthood.

Opponents of Title X funding for Planned Parenthood clinics say they don’t want federal funds to be used for abortions. Again, it is against the law to use Title X funds for abortions. The Planned Parenthood clinics in Wichita and Hays don’t do abortions. Although the group’s clinic in Overland Park does offer abortion services, it does not receive Title X funds.

As a further safeguard, Planned Parenthood officials say the Overland Park clinic operates with two separate corporations, which are reviewed every year by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to make sure there is no mixing of funds and that no federal money is being used to fund abortions.

Cutting off federal funding from family planning clinics operated by Planned Parenthood or anyone else in Kansas will have no impact on the funding of abortions in the state.

Unfortunately, it could have a devastating impact on thousands of low-income women and families who depend on federally subsidized programs for Pap tests, breast exams, birth control and other basic health services.

Why would Kansas legislators want to risk the health of Kansas women by denying funding to clinics that provide the very family planning services that would reduce unplanned pregnancies and abortions? Kansas abortion opponents apparently are trying to make a point but their wrath seems misplaced.

Manipulations create fiscal uncertainty KANSAS CITY, MO. — The morning Tom Hoenig, president of the Federal Reserve’s regional bank here, announced that he would retire Oct. 1, newspapers nationwide reported that henceforth the Fed’s chairmen will hold quarterly news conferences. This is probably both regrettable and inevitable.

The Fed is called “independent” because it was created to insulate monetary policy from political pressures. But it was created by Congress, which can do what it wants with the Fed. Also, for more than three decades the Fed has had a “dual mandate” — to protect the currency as a store of value (restraining inflation) and to promote “maximum employment.” The latter inserts the Fed into inherently political calculations and decisions.

Furthermore, the Fed’s current chairman, Ben Bernanke, speaks of the Fed’s tasks of “economic management” and “economic engineering.” (See his Sept. 24, 2010, speech at Princeton.) Such language, Hoenig says, is “the language of a central planner.” If the central bank acts like this, it will face the scrutiny that comes with the political functions of consciously shaping society’s allocation of wealth and opportunity. One of Hoenig’s peers, Richard Fisher, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, recently said: “The liquidity tanks are full, if not brimming over. ... What is needed now is for business to be incentivized to commit that liquidity to creating American jobs.

George Will

georgewill@washpost.com

He (Regional Fed “President Tom Hoenig) is proof that the phrase ‘conservative populist’ is not quite an oxymoron: ‘One of the great tragedies of this era is that “too big to fail” has been codified.’ He thinks that if something is too big to fail, it is too big to exist.”

This is the task of the fiscal authorities, not the Federal Reserve.”

Hoenig can see a liquidity-created bubble from where he sits.

He sees farmland, the value of which is soaring throughout the Midwest, for several reasons.

One is that food prices are increasing rapidly because the Chinese, Indians, Brazilians and others in emerging markets are eating more calories and more of them in meat produced by turning cereals into animal feed.

But another reason is that extremely low interest rates and

the rapid expansion of the money supply have caused lots of money to slosh around, seeking assets that will produce higher returns.

The Fed’s policy seems designed to pursue a very elastic interpretation of its mandate — to manipulate the stock market.

Since Bernanke’s speech at Jackson Hole, Wyo., last August signaling another “quantitative easing” (printing another $600 billion), the Dow market is up more than 20 percent. In theory, with interest rates low and lots of liquidity, enough money will flow into equities to create a “wealth effect” stimulus: The expanding portfolios of the 20 percent of people who own 93 percent of equities will quicken their owners’ animal spirits and acquisitiveness. Does Hoenig think there will be a “QE3”? “It’s not,” he says, “out of the question.”

He is proof that the phrase “conservative populist” is not quite an oxymoron: “One of the great tragedies of this era is that ‘too big to fail’ has been codified.”

He thinks that if something is too big to fail, it is too big to exist. He believes, as Milton Friedman said, that America has a profit and loss system — the possibility of profit is an incentive for risk, the possibility of loss is an incentive for prudence in the pursuit of profit. Because “too big to fail” short-circuits this, Hoenig favors restoration of “something like” the Glass-Steagall law — passed in 1933, repealed in 1999 — that separated commercial banking from the more risky investment

banking. So he favors breaking up the largest banks: He says the 20 biggest are, cumulatively, 20 percent larger than they were before the financial crisis.

Is it, he is asked, mere coincidence that the Great Depression was (a) America’s longest slump and (b) the one combated by the most government activism?

Hoenig answers: “There were a lot of government activities that caused people to hesitate.”

Is it mere correlation, not causation, that the recession which ended in June 2009, although not the nation’s most severe, has received the most ambitious government attempts at amelioration yet has been followed by the most sluggish recovery from a sharp contraction in modern times? Hoenig’s answer is oblique but suggestive: Given uncertainties, including those created by government policies, investors “freeze up and pull back. When you don’t know, you go still.” He says, “Capitalism isn’t a straight line, it’s a zigzag, and when you introduce policies to eliminate the zigzag you can introduce instability.”

Or stagnation. Or the faux dynamism created by a “buy now” spirit fueled by inflation expectations. They are inevitably unleashed by dramatic, protracted expansion of the money supply because confidence in fiat money eventually varies inversely with the quantity of such money.

At an emotional five-hour meeting of city and county commissioners in YEARS the crowded courtAGO house meeting IN 1986 room, new estimates were revealed that would place construction of the 14.3-mile, fourlane Lawrence bypass project at $37.7 million. The meeting was mostly peaceful, with the occasional burst of applause or shouts from hecklers, as the route was described as connecting Kansas Highway 10 with U.S. Highway 40, County Road 438, and a new turnpike exchange west of the city.

Bill to defend Kline, aides tops $500K TOPEKA (AP) — Kansas taxpayers have paid more than $500,000 in legal fees and expenses for former Attorney General Phill Kline and two of his aides, and with more hearings set for this summer, that bill is likely to go even higher.

Kline is accused of violating the state’s ethics code as an attorney while he was attorney general and Johnson County district attorney. The allegations stem from investigations Kline conducted into the Planned Parenthood clinic in Overland Park and George Tiller’s abortion clinic in Wichita.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reported Sunday that the state paid $200,023 in legal fees and $20,291 in expenses to the Overland Park-based Holbrook and Osborn law firm, which defended Kline during an eightday disciplinary hearing earlier this year. The state also paid $178,285 in legal fees and $4,929 in expenses to Kansas City, Mo., law firm Graves, Bartle, Marcus and Garett for defending Kline earlier.

The total for Kline so far is $403,528. An additional $125,959 went to lawyers to defend Kline aides Eric Rucker and Steven Maxwell.

No decision has been made on the ethics allegations against Kline.

Gardens & Villa Gardens & Villa is the supergroup of Richard Gardens and Thomas Villa. OK, that’s not true. The band is actually a five-piece out of Santa Barbara, Calif., with only a two-song digital EP to its name. It’s a quite good EP, however. The two songs “Black Hills” and “Orange Blossom” both feature a fair share of falsetto and digital instrumentation, but there’s enough playfulness in the band’s production and song structure to make the show worth seeing.

KANSAS RELAYS

Ten to watch

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Aaric Murray, a 6-foot-10, 250pound sophomore center who recently announced plans to leave La Salle University, likely will transfer either to Kansas University or West Virginia, Jon Rothstein of CBSsports.com reported Sunday.

Murray recently told Zagsblog.com that he had a list of KU, Kentucky, Oklahoma State, Rutgers, St. John’s, West Virginia, UConn, Texas and Florida. The Philadelphia Daily News also listed Marquette and DePaul.

The Philadelphia native, who averaged 15.2 points and 7.7 rebounds a game for La Salle last season, chose La Salle over West Virginia his senior year at Philly’s Glen Mills High School.

Murray will have two years of eligibility remaining but must sit out next season according to NCAA transfer rules.

Murray ranked third in the Atlantic 10 in blocks (73, second in school history), was seventh in rebounding and 11th in scoring in 2010-11. He’s second all-time in career blocks at La Salle (143) after just two seasons. He just missed a triple-double, scoring 20 points, with 11 rebounds and a school-record nine blocks against Morgan State. He had seven double-doubles on the season.

Dick Jerardi of the Philadelphia Daily News was somewhat critical of Murray on March 25 when the decision to leave La Salle was announced.

“La Salle coach John Giannini had a season-long struggle with Murray,” Jerardi wrote. “The Please see TRANSFER, page 4B

KU claims 6-0 win, clinches series J-W Staff Reports

C O L U M B I A , M O . — Freshman Ka’iana Eldredge went 3-for-3 with a key two-out RBI single, while three Kansas University pitchers held Missouri scoreless as the Jayhawks earned their first series victory over the Tigers in Columbia since 1983 with a 6-0 triumph Sunday afternoon.

KU won its third consecutive Big 12 series and improved to 1818 overall and 8-7 in Big 12 play.

The Tigers fell to 14-22 overall Eldredge and 2-9. The Jayhawks had not shut out Missouri in Columbia since 1962.

Alex Cox, Thomas Taylor and Frank Duncan held Missouri Cox scoreless on eight hits. Cox earned his second win in two 2 weeks, going 5 ⁄ 3 innings and allowing no runs on six hits with no walks and three strikeouts.

“He was special today, especially in this environment with the intensity level in this ballpark anytime Kansas and Missouri play,” KU coach Ritch Price said of Cox. “He got into trouble a few times, but every time he got into Please see BASEBALL, page 4B

JUST SOME OF THE BIG NAMES WHO WILL PARTICIPATE IN THIS WEEKS KANSAS RELAYS INCLUDE, clockwise from top left, sprinter Veronica CampbellBrown, miler Peter van der Westhuize, long jumper Eric Babb, hurdler Bershawn “Batman” Jackson, long jumper Alain Bailey, sprinter Nickesha Anderson, shot putter Christian Cantwell and sprinter Lauryn Williams.

Here are this week’s must-see events First, allow me to guarantee sunny skies for this week’s Kansas Relays, which start downtown Wednesday with the shot put, continue Thursday with the downtown long jump and play out at the track inside Memorial Stadium from Wednesday through Saturday.

This guarantee is based on the law of averages finally overtaking Murphy’s Law for the climatecursed KU Relays. For the record, though, the extended forecast calls for a 30 percent chance of rain Thursday and 40 percent Friday.

Now that rain has been eliminated as a possibility, the next order of business involves where to stand or sit and when for the parade of the world’s elite track and field athletes. (Later in the week, we’ll examine the same for athletes from local high schools.)

Most of the elite athletes compete Saturday during a two-hour stretch that starts at 2 p.m. Saturday. The most fascinating events take place downtown Wednesday and Thursday.

Even so, it counts as one of three qualifying events for the Jim Ryun Dream Mile race that takes place June 11 in New York, where the nation’s best boy and girl high school milers will be crowned. The first event took place in Azusa, Calif., where an innovative day of distance running took place. Distance and middle-distance runners from all over Southern California gathered, and races took place for 14 hours.

“You’re beginning to see the resurgence of the high school mile, and Adidas is helping to make it happen,” said Ryun, the greatest high school miler ever.

“God willing, we’ll have good weather. If we don’t, we’ll make it work.”

The runners who qualify in preliminary heats will compete in Saturday’s final. Ryun will be in town all week to publicize the Relays, the first to take place after the death of legendary Kansas miler Wes Santee.

Johnson edges Bowyer at Talladega TALLADEGA , A LA . (AP) — Jimmie Johnson won the race.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. got the checkered flag.

Maybe they should go in the NASCAR record books as co-winners.

In a finish that matched the closest in Sprint Cup history, Johnson edged Clint Bowyer by about a

foot to win a Talladega two-step Sunday — a victory that wouldn’t have been possible without a big push from Earnhardt.

Junior gave up a chance to end a 101-race winless streak, selflessly agreeing to shove the No. 48 car of his Hendrick Motorsports teammate instead of vice versa in what was essentially a tag-team event.

“I can’t thank Junior enough,” Johnson said. “He made the decision that my car was faster leading. And the way these things are finishing up, the lead car’s going to get the win. ... He was more worried about the team having a good performance than anything.”

The official margin was two-

thousandths of a second, tied with Ricky Craven’s win at Darlington in 2003 for the closest since NASCAR went to electronic timing.

It came down to an eight-car sprint. Well, actually, four pairs of cars, with only the guys at the front of the duos having a chance to win the Aaron’s 499.

Knicks still almost pulled it off in Game 1

By Neil Best Newsday

BOSTON — The New York Knicks and their fans waited two months for the answer to the only question that really matters: What will Carmelo Anthony bring to the franchise come playoff time?

The answer on Night One of Year One was a little bit of everything, but in the end not nearly enough. The result was a dispiriting 87-85 loss to the Celtics in Game 1.

Well, it certainly seemed dispiriting from an outsider’s perspective. But Melo was surprisingly mellow afterward, insisting: “I missed some shots I normally make. I’m not too concerned about my individual performance.”

Good for him, because the Knicks are far from out of it, and the Celtics look as creaky and uncertain as advertised.

But there was no ignoring a hideous 5for-18 shooting night, including 1-for-11 in the second half, and a long three-pointer that clanged off the rim as the clock ran out.

The miss followed by 20 seconds or so a horrendously timed offensive foul by Anthony on which he wrestled for position with Paul Pierce, costing the Knicks the ball when they led by a point.

“In my eyes — obviously I’m biased — I thought it was a tough call,” coach Mike D’Antoni said.

Anthony’s thoughts? “What I thought and what they called are two different things,” he said. “It is what it is. He called it. It’s over with.”

The Celtics tried Jeff Green and Ray Allen on Anthony but mostly it was Pierce who got it done. Or so it seemed. Anthony wasn’t in the mood to dole out extra credit.

“As far as Paul Pierce, I don’t think he did anything out of the ordinary or special as far as defending me,” he said. “I think the Celtics were themselves (on defense).”

What about that final shot? “I had a chance to make a three. I missed it. But like I said, they didn’t do anything special.”

Anthony did say the Celtics “loaded up the paint” whenever he got the ball, perhaps explaining his relative lack of drives to the basket and paltry four free-throw attempts.

Net result: a squandered opportunity, a wasted fourth quarter tour de force by Amar’e Stoudemire and a continuation of the Knicks’ 10-game losing streak at TD Garden and 10-year playoff winless streak.

Anthony did squeeze in one brilliant quarter, scoring 12 points in the second as the Knicks built a 51-39 halftime lead. But in the first, he picked up two fouls in the first 1:28 and went to the bench. He finished the quarter having scored as many points as his wife, LaLa Vazquez, who watched courtside.

In the third, Melo was 1-for-8 from the field — beginning with a 30-foot chuck that appeared to anger D’Antoni. Somewhere in there, Jermaine O’Neal blocked Anthony and scored on the other end.

In the fourth, Anthony’s shooting woes continued, but he contributed with a couple of nifty assists. But he missed one of two free throws in a key spot, and then there was that awful finish, and that was that. He had more turnovers (five) than assists (four) or rebounds (four).

Can the Knicks win with Anthony playing like that? As D’Antoni noted, they almost did. More likely, they will need him to do more of what he was brought here to do: score, early and often. “I take my hat off to my teammates, man, for just competing out there until the end,” Anthony said. “We did some things well out there. We stuck to the game plan, and for the most part it worked.”

Except for one very important part that didn’t.

KEMBA WALKER, A MEMBER OF CONNECTICUT’S NATIONAL CHAMPION BASKETBALL TEAM, CELEBRATES during a victory parade Sunday in Hartford, Conn.

TODAY

Huskies honored with parade, rally in Hartford HARTFORD, CONN. — Fans lined up four and five deep at spots Sunday to catch a glimpse of Connecticut’s basketball team as it paraded through downtown to celebrate the program’s third national title.

The Huskies rode on a double-decker bus waving to an estimated 40,000 fans who celebrated their 53-41 win over Butler on April 4 in Houston. They were escorted by bands, jugglers, politicians and even dogs from a local Siberian Husky club.

Center Alex Oriakhi blew kisses, and star guard Kemba Walker took pictures of the crowd as fans held up signs. One read, “One Nation Under Kemba.”

Walker said the celebration helped him grasp the magnitude of his team’s accomplishment.

“It was crazy,” he said. “It’s hit me, but not as much as it hit me today. I just keep thinking to myself, ‘Wow, we’re really national champions.’ To see those people come out and show support, it’s crazy. It’s surreal.”

NBA Heat’s Wade misses practice MIAMI — Heat guard Dwyane Wade missed practice Sunday with symptoms of a migraine one day after playing through Miami’s first postseason game with a persistent headache.

“We’re trying to be as proactive with it as possible,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

The Heat play Philadelphia at 7 p.m. today at AmericanAirlines Arena in Game 2 of the best-of-7 series. A decision to rest Wade or play the All-Star guard probably will not be made until this afternoon.

MLB Nathan out as Twins closer ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. — Matt Capps is taking over as the Minnesota Twins closer so Joe Nathan can work on regaining his form in nonsave situations as he comes back from elbow surgery.

The change was announced before Sunday’s game against Tampa Bay. Nathan had blown save opportunities Thursday and Saturday in games eventually won by the Rays. The right-hander missed all of last season after having right elbow ligament-replacement surgery and has been inconsistent this year.

A-Rod out of Yankees’ lineup NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez was out of the New York Yankees’ lineup against Texas on Sunday night because of stiffness in his lower back and on his side.

Rodriguez had trouble getting loose Saturday in the cold weather and left a 5-2 victory over the Rangers in the seventh inning. New York manager Joe Girardi said the slugger told him Sunday he was still sore.

“I just didn’t think it made any sense to push it,” Girardi said. “We’re going to give him the day off.”

Rodriguez had a precautionary MRI that “came back clean,” Girardi said. The threetime MVP is day to day, and the team will see if he can play Tuesday night in Toronto. The Yankees are off today.

Ann Stow says doctors say they will know more when he comes out of his medically induced coma. She says: “They don’t even know if he can respond to commands.”

LINCOLN, NEB. — Kansas State left fielder Nick Martini went 0-for-5 on Sunday, snapping his streak of reaching base at 93 games.

Martini’s streak started in the final game of the 2009 season. He had at least one hit in 76 of the 93 games.

The NCAA doesn’t track consecutive games reaching base. According to research by Kansas State, Elon’s Cory Harrilchak owned the longest Division I streak at 86 games over the 2008-09 seasons.

GOLF 17-year-old wins in Malaysia KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA — Italian teenager Matteo Manassero shot a 4-under 68 Sunday to earn a one-stroke victory at the Malaysian Open, upstaging Masters champion Charl Schwartzel and Rory McIlroy.

Manassero had an eagle on the par-5 10th and added two birdies on the back nine to finish at 16-under 272 two days before his 18th birthday.

Steele hangs to win Texas Open SAN ANTONIO — Brendan Steele shot a 1under 71 to win the Texas Open, overcoming relentless wind to edge fellow PGA Tour rookie Kevin Chappell by one stroke.

The leader by one heading into the final round, the 28-year-old Steele stayed steady throughout the day and finished at 8 under.

He gave a small fist pump, then thrust his arm downward and smiled broadly to celebrate his first Tour victory after holing out on 18.

AUTO RACING Conway gets emotional win LONG BEACH, CALIF. — Mike Conway made a late pass on Ryan Briscoe to win the Grand Prix of Long Beach on Sunday, earning his first career IndyCar victory in just his third race since a horrific crash last year in the Indianapolis 500.

Conway sustained multiple leg fractures and a compression fracture in his back in the Indy 500 crash, knocking him out for the remainder of the season. He went through a grueling rehab and signed with Andretti Autosport before this season, finishing 23rd and 22nd his first two races.

Athletics 5, Tigers 1 OAKLAND , C ALIF . — Trevor Cahill pitched eight solid innings, Josh Willingham broke out of a slump with a two-run single in the fifth, and Oakland won its second straight at home.

Mark Ellis doubled twice, and Daric Barton walked twice and scored both times for the A’s.

Cahill (2-0) looked nothing like the pitcher who struggled against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday, a day after signing a new $30.5 million, five-year extension with the

A’s. He had at least one strikeout in each of the first four innings and kept Detroit off balance.

BAYLOR’S HOLLY HOLL IS TAGGED OUT by Kansas catcher Brittany Hile (12) at the plate during KU’s 8-0 loss Sunday at Arrocha Ballpark.

KU softball tumbles ————

Jayhawks suffer 8-0, run-rule loss

By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

A tough bounce here, an error there, and suddenly another game had gotten away from Kansas University’s softball team.

The Jayhawks couldn’t overcome three unearned runs in the first inning and were run-ruled, 8-0, by No. 15 Baylor in five innings on Sunday afternoon at Arrocha Ballpark.

“They understand we’re coming out and playing ranked teams every time,” KU coach Megan Smith said. “We keep telling them, ‘Don’t get discouraged. Keep working hard. Keep fighting.’”

Sure, the Jayhawks fought, they cheered and they still had fun on Pink in the Park day for cancer awareness, but the Big 12 slate clearly hasn’t been kind to KU (28-17 overall, 1-13 in Big 12).

“It’s very frustrating,” Kansas’ Maggie Hull said.

“One thing our coaches are encouraging us to do is turn the page more, and that’s something we have to work on more as a team.”

For the second straight night, Jayhawks had an early deficit to deal with after a bit of tough luck in the f irst inning.

After a soft infield single to

lead off the inning, Kristin Martinez retired the next two BU batters and issued a walk before Whitney Canion stepped into the box.

Canion chopped a slow grounder that spun past Martinez, forcing shortstop Mariah Montgomery to charge quickly and fire an off-balance throw to first — which

pulled Laura Vickers off the bag.

Next up was Holly Holl, who pounded a shot to center that fell just beyond the reach of a diving Alex Jones.

Instead of a loud third out, it went for a three-run double that put KU in a 0-3 hole and sent Martinez to the bench.

“It’s the game of softball,” Jones said. “It’s always the little things.”

That proved to be plenty for the Bears (34-8, 7-3) who improved to 28-2 when scoring first, though they poured it on with towering home runs from Canion and Kathy Shelton.

KU’s offense, meanwhile, never got much going against Canion.

Canion, who also earned the win in BU’s 9-3 triumph Saturday, struck out nine for her 19th win of the year and only surrendered two walks and infield singles to Jones and Ashley Newman.

“Today her rise-ball was jumping up, which she didn’t have yesterday,” Hull said.

“And that was something we weren’t ready for coming in.

“We tried to make some adjustments late in the game, but it’s hard when you only play five innings.”

The Jayhawks play host to Tulsa on Wednesday in a doubleheader starting at 3.

BRIEFLY Kansas tennis falls to Oklahoma, 4-3 NORMAN, OKLA. — Dylan Windom extended her singles winning streak to six with a fifth singles victory Sunday afternoon, but it was not enough in Kansas University’s 4-3 tennis loss to No. 21 Oklahoma at the Gregg Wadley Indoor Tennis Pavilion.

KU fell to 9-11 overall and 37 in the Big 12 Conference. The

Sooners moved to 15-5 and 72.

Kansas won the doubles point, and Ekaterina Morozova (No. 1) and Windom (No. 5) won in singles, but OU won the other four singles matches in straight sets — dropping just seven games combined — to win the match.

The Jayhawks will conclude the regular season with a noon match Sunday against Kansas State.

mega-talent was not always interested in the game. In fact, Giannini said that Murray really does not like the sport.

It often showed in Murray's performances. Murray had moments when he was great and other moments when he disappeared, sometimes in the same game. Giannini publicly defended his player, but anyone with eyes knew the coach was having a difficult time getting through to his star player.”

Giannini said: “I wish Aaric the very best for his future. I know Aaric always tried to do his best for La Salle, and we did all that we could to help him as a person and as a basketball player.”

that order, requires more strategic planning and improvising than any event in track and field.

Men’s 400-meter hurdles (Saturday, 3 p.m.): Bershawn Jackson, ranked No. 1 in the world in the event, loves the Kansas Relays, and the Kansas Relays crowd loves the hurdler who answers to the nickname Batman. Johnny Dutch, ranked second in the world, has a shot to make this a riveting duel.

Women’s 200 meters (Saturday, 3:15 p.m.): Jamaica’s Veronica Campbell-Brown has won three Olympic gold medals, a silver and a bronze, and is the Kansas Relays record holder in the event. Surely, with a personal best more than a half-second slower, fellow Jamaican Nickesha Anderson can’t upset Campbell-Brown. Or can she?

Either way, the former KU sprinter who represented her country in the 2008 Olympics, will light up the stadium with the sport’s best smile.

trouble he made a big pitch and got a double-play ball and got out of it. It was a tremendous performance by a freshman.”

The key moment for Cox came in the second when the Tigers loaded the bases with one out, and the freshman pitcher induced a second-toshort-to-first double play to end the threat. Missouri stranded 12 men Sunday, including nine in scoring position.

Meanwhile, KU scored in the f irst inning and kept adding throughout the afternoon.

“I was really proud of our team,” Price said. “In the past when we’ve come down here, we’ve gotten boat-raced the next day. It shows how much this team has matured and the toughness that is in our dugout.”

Taylor and Duncan closed out on the mound, pitching the final 41⁄3 innings. Taylor entered in the sixth with the bases loaded and got Brandon Champagne to ground out to first to end the threat.

“They were both really good today, too,” Price said of his relievers. “They allowed us not to have to use (KU closer) Colton (Murray), after he pitched yesterday. That was a great as well. It’s really exciting for not only right now, but for our future to start a freshman and then bring in a sophomore and have a freshman close it out. ”

Para Olympic Men’s 100 meters (Saturday, 2:15 p.m.): Runners with physical disabilities compete, and the United States Army will be there in force to cheer them on.

Women’s pole vault (Saturday, 2 p.m.): Elite vaulters typically bypass the lower heights and join the competition later. Not at the Kansas Relays. Donley implemented a system wherein every vaulter starts at the same height and gets rewarded for each height cleared. As a result, the crowd gets to see the best run and vault more often.

Nice bit of marketing there.

Men’s 100 meters (Saturday, 2:20 p.m.): At least four men in the field have faster personal bests, but look out for rising Jamaican Dexter Lee, 20, who won back-to-back world junior titles in 2008 and 2009.

Women’s 100 meters (Saturday, 1:55 p.m.): Something about watching incredibly well-conditioned women fly just grabs me by the throat, shoves me into my seat and commands me to watch. Lauryn Williams, silver medalist in the 2004 Olympics, will fly over the Memorial Stadium track.

Don’t blink or you’ll miss her.

Rookie helps M’s end skid K A N S A S C I T Y , M O . ( AP ) — Michael Pineda is giving the Seattle Mariners hope they have found a formidable pitcher to pair with CY Young winner Felix Hernandez atop their rotation.

Pineda, a 22-year-old with a 99 mph fastball, held Kansas City to one run and three hits over six innings, Brendan Ryan had a tiebreaking tworun single, and the Mariners beat the Royals, 3-2, Sunday to snap a four-game losing streak.

Pineda (2-1) has a 2.33 ERA in three starts, while holding opponents to 13 hits and strik1 ing out 16 in 19 ⁄3 innings.

“I can’t say enough about this guy,” Ryan said. “From the end of spring training, I’ve said this guy has a legit shot to be the rookie of the year. INDIANS You see his AT ROYALS stuff. You make guys When: 7:10 tonight look the way they do Where: Kansas on all three City, Mo. pitches, he’s Pitchers: C. outstanding Carrasco (1-1) vs. and he’s Davies (1-1) only going TV: FSKC (cable to get better. channels 36, 236) ... He’s got a great chance to be something special.”

Jamey Wright pitched two hitless innings, while walking two. Brandon League gave up a run in the ninth on Wilson Betemit’s single, but finished for his third save.

“Pineda’s fastball is as good as I’ve ever seen,” said Wright, a 13-year major-league veteran. “He throws strikes and attacks hitters with it. His breaking stuff is only to get better. When you’re throwing 97-98 (mph) there’s so much more you can get away with.

He’s going to be good. Once his breaking stuff gets even

better, he has a chance to be really special.”

The Royals entered the game leading the American League with a .279 average, but managed just five hits, matching their season low.

“The kid’s got electric stuff,” Royals manager Ned Yost said of Pineda. “We weren’t chasing pitches outside the zone. The kid’s got a live arm. It was our first look at him. He’s got a good fastball and breaking ball and he threw strikes. He’s in there throwing 95 with his fastball and with a sharp breaking ball.”

Ryan laced a single to left in the seventh to score Justin Smoak and Miguel Olivo to snap a 1-all tie. Smoak led off the inning with a single and advanced to second when Olivo ended an 0-for-27 skid with a single. Ryan Langerhans’ sacrifice bunt advanced both runners.

Blake Wood then replaced Jeff Francis and Ryan brought home both runners with a hit on a 3-1 pitch. The Mariners won for only the third time in 14 games.

“I think I can safely speak for everybody we’re not having fun right now,” Ryan said.

“I’m not having any fun.”

Universal Crossword Edited by Timothy E. Parker April 18, 2011

Dear Annie: You were off the mark with “Bi in the Boonies.” I am a bisexual 17year-old girl and a proud Catholic. Adults at school told me I was going through a “phase” and it was simply subconscious experimentation. If this young person gathered the courage to tell her friend, Dear Want: Is Daddy aware it means she is serious about that his daughter’s behavior is her sexuality. driving away valued employI would tell her to talk to as ees? If a group of you

“History repeats itself. First as tragedy, second as farce.” Karl Marx said that a long time ago. The tabloid media’s desire to recreate the luminous joy of Princess Diana’s wedding and recall the orgy of emotions emerging from her tragic death have culminated in the wall-to-wall coverage of the next royal wedding. Along the way, we get a by-the-numbers made-forTV movie “William & Kate” (8 p.m., Lifetime).

Viewers looking for the nuanced inside look at royal life found in “The Queen” or “The King’s Speech” should look elsewhere. “Kate” features a script cut and pasted from well-known headlines. Or at least well known to those who care.

As stories go, it’s unremarkable.

Boy meets girl at college while girl is seeing other boy. Boy and girl become friends and then something more. Boy and girl live together and then apart. Boy plays field while trying to make up his mind. Boy realizes what he’s missing. Pops question. End credits roll.

Of course Prince William (Nico EversSwindell, “NCIS”) isn’t just any boy. He’s the oldest son of the dead, dazzling Diana and Prince Charles (Ben Cross, “Chariots of Fire”), who is always depicted as barely maintaining a pulse. Enmeshed with the prince’s entourage, the pretty and smart Kate Middleton (Camilla Luddington, “CSI”) feels the slings and arrows of titled snobbery. Mean girls with sceptered pedigrees dismiss her chances of tying the Windsor knot. There are times when William is friendlier to other girls. The locust-like press taunts her as “Waity Katie” when William hesitates about sealing the deal.

Being royal impersonators doesn’t exactly allow these young performers to do much acting. In all honesty, Swindell seems a lot more handsome than the real article. And those who believe in things like magic and fate have to admit that a girl named Camilla Luddington was simply born to play this part.

The drumbeat of royal drivel continues with “Royal Wedding of a Lifetime” (10 p.m., Lifetime) the first of six (!) hour-long documentary specials on Lifetime about the upcoming ceremony.

Not to be outdone “20/20” (9 p.m., ABC) will devote a “special episode” to the event. ABC has promised us 20 hours (!) of royal wedding coverage between now and the big day (April 29) on network, cable, radio and the Internet. It’s like the moon landing, with bridesmaid’s dresses. ● “American Masters” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) profiles and celebrates 19th century naturalist John Muir, founder of the Sierra Club and a leader in efforts to preserve the Yosemite Valley as a National Park. Arguably, he did more than any other American to change the way people perceive the relationship between man and nature.

Tonight’s other highlights ● Masters passes his test, and Thirteen returns on “House” (7 p.m., Fox). ● The vice president second-guesses the boss on “The Event” (8 p.m., NBC). ● Bystanders die in a restaurant bloodbath on “The Chicago Code” (8 p.m., Fox). ● Boston’s food and crime lore explored on “Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations” (8 p.m., Travel).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Monday, April 18: This year, you might act, only to wonder later if there was a more effective path. Consider taming your innate enthusiasm. If you are single, you want what you want. Of course it is good to know what you want, but perhaps you could be stomping on a valid tie. If you are attached, realize the impact of your unusual strength this year. Scorpio understands you better than you might like!

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★ Don't be surprised if you are tired. You have pushed and fought for certain key elements.

Others play devil's advocate; they like this role!

Tonight: Chat over munchies.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★ Understand the role of timing. Though you might be pushed to make a presentation or express your thoughts on an important matter, irritation keeps mounting within. Tonight: Listen to suggestions.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★ Maintain a more solid and direct pace. You

know what is possible, but are you prepared to go to battle? Tonight: Working late.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ Tap into your imagination if you are feeling frustrated or exhausted. Your ability to move through your emotions will help you. Tonight: Have a little fun on the way home.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ Distraction occurs if you are having a disagreement or are too much in your head. Do be careful, knowing you might be accident-prone. Tonight: Let your mind roam.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★ You might see a problem arise financially.

By now, you could be an expert at handling money problems. Understanding evolves to a new level.

Tonight: Have an inevitable talk.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★ Try not to use negativity to restrict others. You might be making a judgment that is not valid for other people, though it could be for you. Pay bills.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★★ You'll strengthen your position through leadership, charisma and communication.

You wonder how anyone can say no to you. Tonight:

What would make you smile?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) ★★★★ You could be exhausted. Do stop and look to see if this fatigue could be taking its toll on you. Tonight: Make yourself primary.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★ Zero in on what you need, and ask for support. You might keep finding yourself among a crowd of friends or associates. Tonight: Whether it's pushing the broom or taking a walk, get some exercise.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★ Others make demands, and you need to make a statement about what you think. Many people look to you for leadership. Tonight: You could go till the wee hours.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★ Push to gain a different perspective. Don't get locked in a struggle of wills that could be unusually difficult. Tonight: Put on a favorite piece of music.

We hope you realize how fortunate you are to have supportive parents, friends and church leaders. Many kids who announce that they are gay or bisexual risk being tossed out of the house or worse. We think first speaking to someone at PFLAG will help any young person grappling with his or her sexual orientation.

informed him, would he do anything about it? As much as Dear Seattle: Thank you for he loves his child, he may not your words of encouragement. want to lose his business because of her. Otherwise, we strongly recommend you smile politely and say nothing. You can try to murmur an occasional word in defense of your co-workers, but if not, silence is the best way to stop kicking yourself later. We hope you find another position soon.

Dear Annie: I have worked many years in a small familyowned business. One of the owner’s children recently graduated from a prominent university and is now employed here.

This kid has an opinion on everything and is quite the gossip, constantly criticizing the other employees and clients. She shares these tirades with me, as our desks are in close proximity. I try to avoid these incidents, but it is impossible. Worse, I don’t want to alienate myself from the owner or his daughter, so I pretend to join in. I know it’s wrong, and afterward, I feel sick.

No one is immune. I am well aware that she talks about me when I’m not around. Several valued employees have already decided to quit. Switching jobs is not an easy option in this job market, but I have my résumé out.

In the meantime, how do I control my behavior and responses without making things worse? There are only so many bathroom breaks one can take. I hate being in the middle. I just want to do my job to the best of my ability. — Want To Work

SLICE of Life

THE EARLY STAGES

{ Theatre Lawrence leader has rich history behind the scenes in performing arts

C

hildhood thespian activities in Dubuque, Iowa, prepared Mary Doveton’s path for involvement in Lawrence’s community theater.

“I put on plays on our front porch, involved the neighborhood kids and charged a nickel for each performance,” says Doveton, now executive director of Theatre Lawrence.

“I hung sheets on pegs for props and scene changes and made things up as I went along.”

She won a drama scholarship to Clarke University, Dubuque, then learned to do everything, including staging, lighting, directing and acting, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts. She came to Kansas University for a master’s degree in theater and met her physicist husband, John, at Memorial Stadium in 1970 when Chancellor Laurence Chalmers called a rally to end the semester due to student unrest.

They moved to Canada, where Doveton participated in Calgary’s semi-professional dramatic arts community, and returned to Lawrence in 1973 when John joined Kansas Geological Survey.

Doveton taught drama and English at Topeka West High School until the first of her two children was born.

“The thought of commuting, teaching

Wine Specials Every Day Mix & Match Cases 15% off 1/2 cases 7.5% off

five classes a day and directing three shows during the school year seemed a lot to return to, so I started looking for other opportunities,” she says.

Doveton was surprised Lawrence didn’t have a theater outside the university, and in 1977 she gathered with some like-minded people in the Carnegie building, where the city planned to open an arts center.

“The city expressed concerns about having enough activities there, so a guy in the group egged me on to start a community theater and then left town,” she says.

The group produced a $500 kitty for the new theater’s first production, “The Secret Affairs of Mildred Wild,” based on Mildred’s dreams of featuring in Hollywood movies. All of Doveton’s earlier experiences were required to pull it off.

“With hindsight it wasn’t the best choice for our first event,” she says.

“We needed lots of sets and costume changes. We held rehearsals and built sets all over town, and stored things in garages, basements, barns, anywhere we could find space. A Wichita theater offered to loan us their King Kong set, and a large head and giant hand that opened and closed. The moving truck broke down during a fierce storm en route to Lawrence and had to be towed. Kong finally made his entrance into

MARY DOVETON is director of Theatre Lawrence.

Lawrence and we got some good publicity, but it was a pretty dramatic experience for everyone.”

Under Doveton’s enthusiastic and dedicated leadership, the theater continued to produce shows in Carnegie, South Park, Trinity Episcopal Church and Tepee Junction. A good enough following developed to enable a former church (the present location) at 1501 N.H. to be purchased in

1984. Plans are under way to start building a new 300-seat theater with a youth education wing at Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive fairly soon.

“Lawrence is a great gathering place for extraordinarily talented and generous people,” Doveton says.

SWIM LESSONS Controversy over Abercrombie Kids’ push-up bikini top raises larger questions about age-appropriate dress for children

BY MARGIE CARR

W

ith summer just around the corner, the stores are lining their shelves with sandals, sundresses and swimwear. One option for parents this year is a swimsuit from Abercrombie Kids, the spin off version of Abercrombie and Fitch and geared for consumers aged 7-14.

Originally called the “ashley push up triangle,” parents could, for $24.50, purchase this padded string bikini top for their 7and 8-year-old daughters.

“What are they supposed to push up?” asks Lawrence resident Adrienne Karam. “I mean, it’s disgusting and so unfortunate on every level, this objectifying and sexualizing of children.”

Sociology professor Lisa Wade blogged about the bikini on her website, Sociological Images. The March 19 post then caught the eye of ABC News and CNN, among other major media outlets, leading to a public uproar that forced Abercrombie to re-categorize the top. As of this writing, their website offers the “Lindsey lightly lined triangle” and the “alexis ruffle triangle,” although the products are still padded.

This is not the first time the company has been criticized for its merchandise. In 2002, the retailer was widely denounced for its T-shirts that many considered racist. Also that year they came out with thong underwear in children’s sizes with “eye candy” and “wink wink” printed on them.

This is also not the first time that a company has gotten into trouble for marketing a padded bikini top for young girls. Last year, British clothing chain Primar ended up pulling its line of padded swimwear geared for young girls.

Overt sexual messages that this kind of clothing sends can be very harmful to children, according to child psychologist Michael Bradley, who was interviewed on ABC’s “Good Morning America” when the controversy was swirling around the news cycle. Bradley believes that these clothing styles shape girls’ beliefs about themselves — that their looks are their only value to society and that their bodies are not good enough unless they are enhanced somehow.

The padded swim suit tops are especial-

THIS SCREENSHOT was taken before AbercrombieKids.com removed their “Ashley” push-up triangle swimsuit for children. ly disturbing to Lawrence psychologist Barrie Arachtingi.

“Who exactly were the designers trying to get these 8-year-old girls noticed by?” she asks. “Because it certainly isn’t 8-yearold boys.

“A child often doesn’t know how to integrate his or her sexual feelings,” she adds.

“Girls at this age are very shy about getting noticed. The idea of boys creates a real discomfort for 7- and 8-year-old (girls). The naked body is met with curiosity and disgust, and girls at this age are mortified at the thought that a guy is looking at them,” she says.

“Only later (around the onset of puberty) does it begin to be okay for a girl to be noticed by a boy,” Arachtingi says.

The psychologist worries about what children are being exposed to and the kind of attention that the swimwear brings.

“There is a purity to being a kid, and once sexuality comes into play, everything gets amped up. Young girls aren’t ready for this type of attention,” she says.

The children’s clothing industry has changed over the years as designers

A March 28 update from Abercrombie Kids’ Facebook page: “We've re-categorized the Ashley swimsuit as padded. We agree with those who say it is best ‘suited’ for girls age 12 and older.” have pushed the limit as to what is acceptable for children, according to Kristine Bailey, owner of children’s clothing store Blue Dandelion in downtown Lawrence.

“When I go to market in Dallas I see a lot of the more grown-up and super-glitzy stuff,” she says.

Bailey says that apparel would not go over very well in this community.

“My experience is that mothers in Lawrence would not be the least bit interested in that (padded) swimsuit,” she says.

“I have a hard time selling two-piece swimming suits in my store. Period. My customers definitely don’t like styles that make their kids more grown-up than they are.”

Bailey describes her customers in

Lawrence as more conservative when it comes to clothing style for their children.

“My customers like a little edgy, but not towards the sexual nature,” she says.

“I think if you talk to someone in Kansas City you might get a much different perspective on children’s styles,” she says.

Just as Bailey’s clientele differs from other parents, families also have different rules for what is appropriate when it comes to clothing and styles for their daughters.

“I never got to wear a two-piece swimsuit when I was young,” says Lawrence resident Julie Embrey.

Now the mother to three children: 14year-old Olivia, 12-year-old Christian and 10-year-old Elizabeth, Embrey does allow her daughters to wear two-piece swimsuits, mainly because of their functionality. “They are so much easier for my girls to take off when they have to use the restroom,” she says.

As for allowing Elizabeth to wear the padded variety? “Never!” Embrey says.

Choosing clothes and swimwear for her girls, however, can be difficult.

“It’s hard because what is appropriate for Olivia is not appropriate for Elizabeth, yet it seems that the clothes that are marketed for children are more appropriate for teenagers, and the ones marketed for teenagers are more appropriate for adults,” she says.

So what is a parent to do if a child is expressing interest in clothing that the parent finds objectionable?

Most professionals suggest that conversations are the most useful method of handling issues such as this that come between parent and child. Parents should talk about the messages that the clothes send.

“If your daughter is asking for (a padded bikini), then ask where this is coming from,” Arachtingi says. “What is she being exposed to? Other kids? Teenagers? The media?”

Conversations take time and energy, she says, but they are a critical aspect of parenting today.

“Parents have to think and understand child development,” Arachtingi says, “but ultimately, they have to be OK with saying, ‘No.’”

Video résumés a growing trend for job seekers

BY DANIELLE MOCCIA

A

cheetah bounds across a grassy savanna, its tail parallel with the ground.

Shortly after, a semi truck drops from the sky and explodes once it hits the earth.

Painted on the side of the truck is just one word: “detail-oriented.”

These are some of the images captured in the video résumé of Barney Stinson, the silver-tongued womanizer portrayed by actor Neil Patrick Harris in CBS’s primetime sitcom “How I Met Your Mother.”

No longer reserved for television’s fictional philanderers, video résumés have become a recent trend among today’s job seekers, says Kansas University Career Center Director David Gaston.

“It’s fun stuff if you have the skills to shoot and edit it, not to mention deliver it in an entertaining and professional way,” he says. “Making any kind of video is not easy.”

Those who are in any of the creative services industries such as journalism, communications, social media and any type of design should consider creating a video résumé, as long as it is relevant to the

“You don’t want to give so much upfront that you don’t get the opportunity to interview in person.”

— David Gaston, director of Kansas University’s Career Center position they’re applying for, Gaston says.

No matter the medium of the résumé, job seekers should strive to demonstrate what value they could offer their potential employer, Gaston says.

Patty Noland, career development coordinator for KU’s journalism school, agrees.

“The people who are successful at finding jobs and internships are the ones who take the time to research the employer and their needs, and then articulate how they can fill those needs,” Noland says. “It’s not a one-size-fits-all situation.”

Both Noland and Gaston say that knowing one’s audience is crucial to creating a successful video résumé.

“Give them what they want,” Gaston says, “although I would view a video résumé as more like a portfolio or another part of the package. You don’t want to put

all your eggs in one basket by just doing a video résumé.”

Exploding trucks and lightning-quick beasts aside, video résumés can be as straightforward as someone discussing their qualifications in front of the camera or as intricate as a music video with links to one’s blog and website, as seen on the social and digital media news website Mashable.com.

Applicants should create their own video résumés rather than pay someone to create it for them, Gaston says.

“If you don’t do it yourself, it could be perceived that you’re saying you have skills that you actually don’t have, which starts the relationship in a negative way if the employer finds out,” he says. “You have to find your unique way of telling your story and decide how you want to portray it.”

Sending a video résumé to employers may open the door for discrimination, Gaston says.

This isn’t an entirely uncommon occurrence among broadcast journalism students who send footage of themselves anchoring to television stations, says Terry Bryant, who worked as a television reporter, meteorologist and sportscaster

before becoming manager of the KU journalism school media lab in 1997.

“Sometimes these employers are looking for a certain look — it could be a white female or a male of color,” Bryant says. “If they pop that tape in and they already have six white males, they’re not going to hire another one. They’re not allowed to say that’s the reason, but it happens.”

People shouldn’t divulge too much information about themselves in their video résumés, Gaston says.

“You don’t want to give so much upfront that you don’t get the opportunity to interview in person,” he says. “The thing about an interview is that you can be there to pick up on social cues and then adjust your language accordingly. In a video, you’re kind of hitting in the dark because you’re not there to see that person who’s hearing what you’re saying.”

Gaston says he doesn’t think video résumés will replace paper résumés.

“Even if video résumés come to fruition, I don’t think they’ll be what we expect them to be,” he says. “Knowledge is being created so quickly now that there are going to be jobs and ways of finding them that we don’t even know of yet.”

Roll play: Sleuthing a family recipe

MY

apartment turned into a game of Clue this week. A whodunit involving yeast.

I decided to try to make my grandma Frances’ homemade rolls. They are a favorite in our family. Even after my mom and aunts started making most of the food for family gatherings and holidays, she was always in charge of the rolls. My grandma was as talented in the kitchen as she was musically inclined. She could sing, play piano and guitar. You might wonder what that has to do with her cooking, but that meant she was never without a song in the kitchen. And her cooking was like her piano playing. No recipe or notes needed.

Like many of her dishes, no one has been able to make her rolls like she did. My mom

NIKKI OVERFELT has tried but has had trouble with getting them to rise.

Well, as if there was any doubt, I am my mother’s child. Mystery partially solved. I killed the yeast. In the kitchen. But with

what? That was the hard part.

The challenge started with piecing together my grandma’s recipe like a puzzle. My aunt Donna has list of ingredients my grandma wrote down, but there are no instructions. My mom has another recipe she thinks is from my grandma that is slightly different but has instructions. So I decided to use my aunt’s list of ingredients and my mom’s instructions.

Factor in that I’d never used the dough hook on my stand mixer before, that the water I used in the dough might have been too hot and that I had a cheesecake baking in the oven while I had the dough sitting on a burner to rise. So the first batch didn’t really rise at all. I baked them, but they were not fluffy. They were more like bis-

cuits.

Was my weapon the dough hook? Did I knead it too much or not enough? Or was it the hot water or the hot oven that killed the yeast?

I didn’t mourn over the loss of that dough too long before I moved onto the next batch. I figure yeast comes in packages of three for a reason. I’d give it three tries. (Here, I must confess that I didn’t start making the dough until a couple of days before this column was due. I’m a journalist. I work best on deadline. But this did limit my time to experiment).

Before the second batch, I did more research. I called my mom, who was relieved to know that I wasn’t able to get the dough to rise on the first try, my aunt Brenda, who has more bread baking experience and who encouraged me that I wasn’t doing anything wrong, that it just takes practice. I consulted my stand mixer guide to using the dough hook. I read Betty Crocker’s tips to bread baking and compared one of her recipes to my grandma’s.

I was determined to not kill the yeast again. I was more careful. I measured the temperature of the water. I turned the oven on 400 for one minute and then put the dough in to rise. I tried to be more patient.

This time the dough did rise. Some. My rolls still weren’t light and fluffy.

At this point, you might think I’m ridiculous because a) I can’t get the dough to rise or b) I’m even trying to make homemade bread or c) I’m writing in Clue metaphors.

But I didn’t give up. I had one more yeast packet. Grandma’s roll recipe, take three. I followed the same directions, but let it rise a little longer. And it worked. They were a little less like biscuits. Still not as fluffy as I wanted, but I think it’s a work in progress.

So all of you newbie bread bakers out there, take heart. Don’t give up. All of you expert bread bakers, feel free to send me any tips or recipes. Or ideas of what to do with the 50 biscuit-y rolls now in my kitchen.

Like my aunt Brenda said, it just takes practice. So maybe I will try them again for Easter dinner. Or maybe I’ll stick with a cake.

Grandma Frances’ Rolls (or Nikki’s Biscuits) I halved this recipe, and it made about 20 rolls.

6 cups of flour 2 packages of yeast 2 cups of shortening 1/3 cup sugar 3 eggs 2 teaspoons of salt 1 cup of warm water (120-130 degrees)

mom’s instructions, my Kitchenaid stand mixer guide and Betty Crocker.

Mix all the dry ingredients — leave out 1-2 cups of flour — together with the dough hook on low for about 15 seconds. With the mixer on low, add in the other ingredients slowly and mix for another 1-2 minutes. Add in the rest of the flour, a half-cup at a time. Knead for 2 minutes, until the dough clings to the hook and cleans off the side of the bowl. Then knead on low for another 2 minutes until dough is elastic and smooth. (These are Kitchenaid’s instructions).

Then place the dough in a greased bowl with a towel over it and let rise for 2 hours. I used Kitchenaid’s tip of turning the oven on 400 for one minute, and then placing the bowl in the oven. I learned that you can tell if it’s risen enough by poking the dough gently with two fingers. If the indentations remain, it’s ready. Punch the dough gently. Then shape the dough into balls and place in a pan. I used the cloverleaf method, by putting three little balls into each muffin cup. But you can place just one or two in each cup or place the rolls side by side in a normal pan. Let rise in a warm place for another hour.

Scrapbookers turn to new resources as local venues go by wayside

BY SARAH HENNING

J

amie Knabe gave it her all.

A small business owner, she gave it a go for four years, running a small scrapbooking store, Scrappers Paradise, first in Olathe and then in Lawrence’s Holiday Plaza at 25th and Iowa.

But Jan. 15, less than a year after opening in Lawrence, she closed, leaving her store’s memory as one for the books.

“I was very excited also about being in Lawrence, it was just very hard in Lawrence. I think the economy had a huge play on that,” says the Eudora resident, who is still contracted to create scrapbooks for customers.

Knabe’s store was one of three in the past eight years that have shut their doors in town. It’s hardly a great track record, and it’s hardly unusual either, says Cameron Elliott. Elliott is the owner The Scrapbook Page, a store in Shawnee that has been open 11 years.

“Since we’ve opened, I think 25 other independent stores (came) and (went), opened and closed, just in the Kansas City metro. That’s not counting Lawrence, that’s not counting Columbia. That’s not counting Topeka,” he says. “It’s a very competitive business.”

Also since Elliott and his wife, Carolyn, opened their store, there has been a complete makeover in the memory business.

Where there used to be independent

JAMIE KNABE has made many scrapbooks for her family in the last 10 years. After closing her Lawrence scrapbook store down earlier this year, she now works out of the basement in her rural Douglas County home south of Eudora. stores selling nothing but scrapbooking supplies, big-box stores added dedicated spaces to the craft.

Nine years ago, Hobby Lobby added supply sections to each of their stores, says Diana Hook, department of scrapbooking head for the Oklahoma-based chain’s Lawrence store. She says the company started carrying scrapbook supplies in the craft department before the sort of expansion that has garnered the hobby a lot of retail space in the Lawrence store, 1801 W. 23rd St.

“It expanded so much that we have seven full aisles, plus, we have over 8,000 items in our scrapbooking department now,” Hook says.

Also affecting the business — online retailers selling materials cheaply, and even websites like Shutterfly and Snapfish that make it easy to put together and order a 20-page digital photo book over a lunch break. Alyson Campbell, spokeswoman for Snapfish, says that the photo books are so popular that they are in double-digit growth year-over-year.

We LOVE our Residents and Staff at Bonner Springs Nursing & Rehab Center!

But both Elliott and Knabe say they believe the photo book customer, and even the digital scrapbooker — someone who makes pages online and then prints them out and adds them to a traditional scrapbook — are different types of artists than people attracted to traditional scrapbooking.

“The customer base that we see is really customers that prefer more of the handmade approach and they really prefer the textures and different embellishments that are three-dimensional verses the digital stuff,” Elliott says.

Lawrence scrapbooker Erica JohnsonWanzer agrees. She says that while she likes the digitally produced photo books, she loves the idea of working with her hands and creating. And, that, she says, is why though there might not be any more independent scrapbook stores in Lawrence, she believes the art of scrapbooking won’t die here or anywhere else.

“I like to touch things. And I like my pages to be 3-D,” says Johnson-Wanzer, who blogs about crafty things of all sorts at inkedupandreadytoplay.com. “I think those (digital books) are great because the people who don’t think they’re creative — at least they’re doing something with their images.

“And that’s the heart of scrapbooking, is that you’re capturing those memories.”

Students invited to compete for 2011-2012 Double Take position Wes: This week we begin the sixth annual Double Take essay contest to find the eighth co-author of the column. The winner will receive at least $1,100 ($550 per semester) for his or her freshman year of college and a valuable line item on college apps and resumes. The deadline is 9 p.m. April 29 with interviews tentatively set for the weekend of May 7-8. This year’s qualifications are as follows: ● A 2012 senior at an area high school.

We’ve had three students from Free State, three from LHS and one from Bishop Seabury Academy. We will also consider an exceptional junior with excellent references. ● One-year commitment from August 2011 through August 2012. ● Skilled writer for class projects or school paper. ● Maturity and sensibility. Kids currently caught up in serious drinking, drugs, abusive relationships, etc., won’t be credible and will be subject to public critique — of which there is plenty. ● Willing to share opinions but openminded to the problems of adolescence.

Extreme views, liberal or conservative, do not fit with this format or demographic. ● Able to work as a team over e-mail and to get the job done. The author churn out one 350-word column every Thursday including revisions, 50 weeks of the year. ● Have agreeable parents. This is a very high-profile and occasionally controversial job. Parents should review previous columns if they have any qualms.

Please review the application process carefully: ● Write a 350-word essay responding to the challenge question, offering your best advice. Good answers may not be the obvious ones. All essays will be reviewed by panel of authors from the Kansas City Writers Group, Dr. Wes and Ben. ● List 10 topics you would like tackle as a Double Take author. The ability to generate fresh ideas is important and you’ll be assigned many of the topics you suggest. ● Ask a teacher or other non-parent adult to write a brief e-mail to Double Take e-mail address outlining your strengths and weaknesses in taking on the column. ● Send all materials to doubletake@ljworld.com. We’ll announce winners in mid-May. The top essay will be

THE CONTEST CHALLENGE QUESTION I’m 16, and my parents don’t know that I’m sexually active. If I tell them, they won’t let me see my boyfriend anymore, and if I don’t tell them, I can’t ask to get on birth control so I can avoid pregnancy. My boyfriend is my best friend and I love him but if I tell, my family will hate him and think he’s pressuring me. What do I do?

published in the paper, the others published online. If the winner cannot complete his or her term, the runner-up will finish the year and receive the scholarship.

Submission of essays implies release for the Journal-World to publish. Do your own

work. Top entries will be searched on the Internet to be sure they are original.

Ben: As far as jobs go, Double Take is pretty weird. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever done before. Here are two tips for those trying out.

First off, write memorably. Anybody can write grammatically sound column with the right manuals, but nobody says, “I remember that column. Great comma placement!” Your first goal is to give your best advice; your second goal is to make people remember it. Frequent readers know that I’m an analogy junkie. Other people use stories, checklists or one-liners.

Find your natural twist and use it; otherwise, you’ll be a very wise, very boring young columnist.

Secondly, you need good eyes. Eighty percent of this job is stepping back and saying, “What’s the problem here?” Termites have a nest; so do problems. Our biggest problems often have basic causes: fear, mistrust, pride, etc. Your job is to find that nest, that basic cause, and expose it.

You don’t need a huge brain (case in point), just a keen eye.

This is a great experience. 99.9 percent of teenagers don’t get to do anything like this, and “published columnist” looks pretty neat on paper. If you even think you have a shot, I say go for it.

Babies need a little sunshine E arlier this month the temperature hit 90 degrees in Lawrence, Kan. And that, my friends, combined with a lunch at Johnny’s and a trip to the park, is about as close to nirvana as I get.

We've longed for months to take our toddler outside and let him run free, explore the neighborhood swings and slide, and soak up a little vitamin D. What could be better than a little free fun a block from home, especially on one of the first warm and sunny days of the year?

Later that day I visited a friend with a sweet 3-week-old baby, and while I held her and fought off urges to run home and demand that my husband agree to another kid or four, we talked about the sun. She wanted to know how old Johnny was when I first took him to a pool, and I guessed he was probably about 9 months old, seeing as he was born at the end of August and didn't have a pool season until the following May. She was worried about exposing her baby daughter to the sun too early and said she'd read somewhere to wait until she's 1.

ONE? Really? I couldn't imagine. I mean, we all know that babies have very sensitive skin and we have to be super care-

“I did some research of my own and learned that most experts suggest being very conservative about sunlight until the baby is 6 months old, which seemed reasonable to me. But even then, it doesn't mean that your infant can't go outdoors.” ful not to allow them to be out without heavy-duty sunblock, a hat and good shade, and even then we need to make sure it's not too long or too hot. But to just avoid the whole thing until the baby is 1? That seems like just one more rule on the laundry list of rules that the world has conspired to create to make the lives of new moms hellish and restrictive.

Sorry, Mom! No pool or park or walks for you! Keep that baby inside!

I did some research of my own and

learned that most experts suggest being very conservative about sunlight until the baby is 6 months old, which seemed reasonable to me. But even then, it doesn't mean that your infant can't go outdoors.

She just needs proper clothing, sunscreen and full shade.

Vitamin D is important for babies, especially for breast-fed babies who don't get formula supplements. This does not mean that I think you should strip your newborn down and lay her on the sidewalk to roast, but, like everything, some common sense and moderation can go a long way. If she is in the shopping cart for a few minutes while you load your groceries into your car, or if you go for a short walk with sunscreen and a shaded stroller, or later go for a short swing in the park, covered as usual with the proper protections, I can't help but think the benefits outweigh the negatives.

Everyone, even a baby, feels better after having had some fresh air and light. All of us need to get outside, whether we're 2 months or 200 months old.

HOW TO WEAR ACID BRIGHTS

}

Vivid bursts of juicy color are popping up in clothes, accessories and makeup this spring. And although they are inspiring to see and indicative of warm, sunny days to come, such bold hues can be intimidating to wear.

“For a spring coat that offers maximum wearability and boasts timeless, classic style, invest in a quality trench coat.”

rowing up in the Midwest, the month of April has always meant rain for me. But truly, April weather flip-flops back and forth, the dreary skies frequently trading places with spurts of hot sunshine and short-lived high temperatures. Morning thunderstorms and drizzly, grey afternoons are unpredictable and commonplace, as if the sky is purposely challenging our wardrobe choices each day.

Although rainy days can often be a drag, fashionable raingear can turn this attitude around.

PONCHOS: Umbrellas and trench coats are popular and fashionable raingear — and unlike some fashion items, they provide useful protection from the elements.

For a spring coat that offers maximum wearability and boasts timeless, classic style, invest in a quality trench coat. If you already own a classic trench, opt for a novelty rain poncho. I’m hunting for a version similar to

VERA WANG Lavender Label belted trench.

BOOTS: Hunter wellies are the go-to rain boot. Nonetheless, branch out and embrace alternative rainy-day footwear. Other shoe varieties can be equally protective and stylish. Depending on the weather’s severity, low-top boat shoes are one fashionable,

Bright accessories are certainly fun.

Kate Spade’s Scout bag comes in an eye-catching lemon yellow, as well as a watermelon pink for the daring.

But a trickier aspect of this trend is how to wear brightly colored separates without looking or feeling like a clown. Go ahead and pair bright-colored separates, but temper them with nude shoes and subtle or no accessories.

If wearing an acid-bright piece with jeans or trousers, opt for dark indigo denims, so the look is clean, or crisp white pants, which is fresh, modern and 100 percent summer-y.

Christopher Bailey’s Spring 2011 version for Burberry. If you missed the show highlights, do look them up. Each model walked down the runway in a transparent hooded rain jacket beneath an indoor roof that sprayed out rain.

It’s easiest to start with bright-colored accessories, such as shoes or a bag.

Wear them with basic neutrals such as a white or black top and jeans or a simple white dress so the accessory pops and becomes the focal point of the ensemble.

casual option. I frequently slip into my Sperry Top Siders when it’s a bit misty or drizzly (plus if the sun peeks out later in the day, I’m not stuck clomping about town in my rubber wellies!). And another current, hip footwear option—motorcycle boots can also provide adequate shelter for your tootsies during springtime Kansas rains.

Many leather boots are waterproofed or waterproofable, plus an MC boot will add instant edge and style to your outfit.

New breed of insanity

River City Jules

G

rowing up, I always wanted a dog.

But my (very wise) mother insisted there was a city ordinance prohibiting pet ownership for families of six.

Instead of training a dog, my sister and I grew up teaching our twin brothers how to sit, stay and roll over. Eventually they got pretty good at it.

As I became an adult, a wife and then a mother with people to raise and carpets to clean, my desire for a dog waned to nearly nothing. Owning a dog ranked somewhere on my to-do list between learning how to change my own oil and amputation.

My husband, however, never quite shook that yearning for a dog. After many years of being shot down by his wife, he made one last plea.

I had given him the book “Chasing Daylight” by Eugene O’Kelly. Gene, the late CEO of KPMG, wrote this book in the last 100 days of his life, from the time he was diagnosed with terminal cancer until he died. Gene illustrates beautifully the importance of spending each day on earth living out your dreams.

After reading the book, my husband came to me with tears in his eyes. Moved by the message, he was clearly ready to divulge his heart’s greatest wish. Knowing he had always hoped to explore the Great Barrier Reef or bike in France, I started mentally packing my bags for the trip of a lifetime. He was ready to start in on his bucket list, and I couldn’t wait to see where we would go.

“After reading this book,” he began, “it hit me that the one thing I really want to experience before I die… ” I braced myself.

Cruising the Mediterranean? Buying a beach house? “… is having a dog.”

I did not remember the part about “go

buy a dog” in that book. What about the Oscars? Touring with Madonna as a backup dancer? Volunteering in an African village with Oprah and Gayle?

Clearly our bucket lists were very different.

But as the kids circled around me begging, it slowly sank in that I was severely outnumbered.

As luck would have it, our kids’ school had an auction two weeks later, and a breeder had donated a Labradoodle to the cause. We walked into that auction a family of humans, and — after downing a few chocolate martinis that suddenly made this the cutest canine I had ever seen, similar to the beer goggles from days gone by — we walked out of that auction a family of six humans plus one dog.

My husband’s dream had become my reality.

This past weekend we celebrated the fourth anniversary of that fateful night I drank enough to buy a puppy. And for the next 8-10 years (but who’s counting?), if any child or husband of mine questions whether or not I love them, I need only to point to the dog begging for someone to take him outside and play fetch for proof that indeed, I do.

uesday is National Hanging Out Day. It is the perfect time to install a clothesline!

Step 1: Pick a sunny spot, preferably away from trees and off the beaten path. For optimal drying, clotheslines should run north to south rather than east to west. To protect clothes from direct sun, consider installing a clothesline on the front porch.

Step 2: Clotheslines can be strung between two existing structures or you can install a post or two that will serve as clothesline supports.

Step 3: Once two supports have been selected; install an open end hook into one of the supports approximately 6 feet above the ground. Drill a pilot hole first to make it easier to screw the hook into the support.

Step 4: Repeat the process on the other support, this time using an eye bolt instead of a hook.

Step 5: Measure out a length of vinyl coated cable or aluminum wire 12 inches to 18 inches longer than the distance between the two clothesline supports.

Step 6: Attach an appropriately sized turnbuckle to one end of the clothesline by slipping a u-shaped cable clamp or a cable ferrule onto the clothesline. Loop the clothesline through the eye bolt end of the

turnbuckle and the back through the cable clamp or ferrule. Allow at least 3 inches of cable to protrude out beyond the clamp or ferrule.

Step 7: Tighten the clamp or hammer the ferrule closed, leaving a loop above the clamp or ferrule with the turn buckle dangling from it.

Step 8: Twist the turnbuckle open until it is fully extended. Slip the hook end of the turnbuckle through the eyebolt on the clothesline support.

BRIEFLY Shorten your morning routine with dogs Mornings are a chaotic time in any household, and one family member that can get lost in the shuffle is Fido. The American Kennel Club offers the following tips to help you prepare the night before: ● Put your dog’s breakfast in his

dish and cover it. Don’t forget to put it on the counter out of his reach. If his food is canned or perishable, refrigerate it. ● Prepare for your morning walk

in advance by leaving the leash and pickup bags by the door.

You can also leave extra bags by the door for your evening walk to save time when you get home.

● Check the weather forecast

each evening and get together any items you may need for the next day — umbrella, snow boots, etc. ● If you have any toys that

require you to fill them with a treat, such as the rubber toys you pack with peanut butter, stuff them and put them in the freezer.

It is Time To Become Active!

t Our average work week is longer. Americans work 47 hours a week - 164 more hours a year than 20 years ago.

We all know that remaining active is important for our personal health, but did you know that it also can have an impact on businesses? The average health care cost exceeds $3,000 per person annually. An obese employee costs an employer an additional $460 to $2,500 in medical costs and sick days per year for a total cost to American companies of $225.8 billion per year.

Despite these frighting statistics, there is something we can all do to combat this growing trend. The American Heart Association encourages everyone to exercise for 30 minutes a day.
